The administration of the customs and indirect taxes have just published the comparative tables of the te.ults of commerce and navigation of France with her colonies and with foreign countries during the years 1510, 1850, 1851. This table shows a pro gressive improvement, which will he better judged by the following details: In 1811, the general commerce, imports, and ex ports, together amounted to an official value of 2.780 millions, being an increase of 81 millions over 1850, and of 222 millions over 1849. In this total the imports stand for 1,157 millions, and the exports for 1.629 millions. The value of the produas im ported in 1851 is lees by 17 millions than those of 1850, and 15 millions more than in 1849. In the exports, there is an increase of 98 millions over 1850, and of 207 millions ever 1849. For special commerce, the total amount of ex changes is 2,019 millions, being an improvement of 109 millions over 1850, and of 208 millions over 1849. This amount of 2,019 millions is divided as follows: Imports, 781 millions ; and exports, 1,238 million,, which gives in favour of last year an increase of one million over 1850, and of two millions over 1849 for import.; and of 115 millions over 1850, and 294 millions over 1849 for exports. In the gene ral movement of transports by sea, the proportion for the national flag in 18.51 is 952 millions, and that of foreign flags 1,044 millions.

As vimpared with 1849, the increase has been 11 millions for the French, and 157 millions for the foreign flags. The principal in cluse on the different articles imported, has been, in 1861, as corn, coffee, cocoa, oleaginous seeds, olive oil, nitrate of potash, cochineal, coals, and machinery ; the decrease has been on colonial engem linseed, first fusion of copper, lead ore, cotton, wool, raw silk, and Indigo.

In the evening, he went to visit Prince Frederick Alexander of Prussia. Both then proceeded t.gether to the theatre, and at their entrance the whole audience rose to receive them. The Prince of Warsaw accompanied the im perial party. 'fhe following imperial ukase was published at St. Petersburgh on tie 22d alt : Our desire has alsays keen that the Polish nobility of the western governments of Kowno, Wilma, Ormlne, Minsk, Welhynia, Podolia, and Kiew, should he admitted to rival in seal the nobility of Great Russia (of all religions), by manifesting sentiments of fidelity and devotednes in our victorious army, or in civil functions. But to our great regret our hopes have not been realised. With some rate exceptions, which have merit, praise, and thank., the greater portion of the young nobility reined idle, and avoid entirely the public service. These feelings. which are so contrary to the duties of a gentleman, can no longer be tolerated. In consequence, we decree as fellows :-Ist. The sons of noble landowners in the abovementioned governments, who are not of the Greek religion, and who do not possess less thus 100 serfs, are to be enrolled for military service at the age of 18, to be incorporated in regiments with the grade of ensign if they have undergone an examination, or as soldiers with the right attached to nobility; 2. Those who enter the service voluntarily at the 16th or 18th years of age, may chose the regiment in which they desire to serve, but they must undergo an examination. The ukase contains four other paragraphs relative to the civil services, which gives exemption from military service to members of the nobility. By another ukase the Jewish communes, who are in arrears of taxes, are bound to pay 2,000 rubles for a recruit. AMERICA.

ENOLIEU YACHTS AND AMERICAN CLIPPERS. Yesterday evening Kr. Scott Russell delivered a lecture before the members of the Royal Institution on English Yachts and Asseriesa Clippers. England, he observed, ' wrapped up Ia her prejudices end relying upon tradition sad experience, had been excelled in the - art of ship-build ing by the Americans, who followed in this matter com ma sense sad the laws of nature for their guides. lie, hewavet, believed it was only necessary for us to be semeed of our present inferiority to produce a stimulus that should remelt in placing us first in the competition. A tasminm nader the old British law of WIMP had been held at to the rionetructlim of bad ships, sad our yacht dabs adopting this law had increased the evil. The pianist, or new British law of Manage, the lecturer seemidered totally free from the Misstate of the previous law, sad ensineatly salealamid to beget as improved model of merchant ships. There was a time when speed seed sot be considered a necessary quality in merchant ships, which were held to be good In proportion to the automat of cargo they would stow away—with no reference to speed— sad bat little to misty. Now, however, shies the disc. very of gold at the antipodes, speed was more than ever as ob ieereji.end therefore under the stimulus thus begotten the r predicted the building of ships within the next tee years very far exceeding in size and speed any we had already teen. Twenty wise an hour he believed would be not an extrsovdinery speed for the new race of vessels, and their length might amount to 600 feet. in point of fact, the longer a ship, the seer, the swifter, the better was she, provided only her materials be strong enough to withstand the increased strain. By adopting iron instead of wood as a shipbuilding material, this necessary degree of saes& niagbt be iesered.

THE ALLEGED MURDER BY TWO FrALIANS. • Yesterday morning Mr. W. Baker resumed, for the third time, the inquiry, at the London Hospital, re specting the death of Themes Marley, aged 21 years, an Irish labourer, who was stabbed in the abdomen on Monday morning last, during a fight with two Italians, named Giu seppe Ramarady and Emanuel Antau, both of whom were sailors connected with a vessel lying in the London Docks. Pertieulers of the ease appeared in our Themes Police in telligence of Tuesday lat. The following additional evidence was adduced: Ellen Wallace, of No. 16, Crown-court, East Smithfield, said : On Monday morning lost she was stundieg in Brown Bear-alley, opposite where the row took place, when she heard Tenyson say to an Italian girl, named Angelina, "I will knock out your eye, or any of the foreigners." Di rectly afterwards the two Italians came out of N 0.6 armed with poker and tongs. Antau struck a man named Conolly on the back with the poker, and at the same moment the deceased (Marley) wrenched it from his hands when Rama rady rushed forward from the side and stabbed deceased in the belly. Tho deceased gave witness the poker, and said, " Take it, I am stabbed." The two Italians then ran away, one of them dropping the tongs on the way. The canoe of the fighting was the words used by Tenyson to the Italian girl called Angelina. There had been a row between the Italians and the Irishmen at the Crown public-house shortly before the affray in Brown Bear-alley. Police-constable 91 H deposed to dispersing several fo reignen who bad been quarrelling with some labourers at the Crown. Witness saw one had a black eye, and Ange lina said they had been fighting with the Iris hmen. Wtt neu drove them away, and directly afterwards heard a cry of "Police ." On going back be met two men running away, and one of them he recognised at the station-house by the hair on the upper lip. Witness allowed them to , pass, and found on setting to the end of the alley that a I man named Marley had been stabbed and others also in jured by the two foreigners who had previously witness. The deceased was placed on a stretcher and p a ssed con veyed to the hospital. Angelina Sp osl tor alias Heath, of No. 7, Green-yard, East Smithfield, was next called, and said she had been cohabiting with the Italia°, Giuseppe Rimandy, for several weeks. On the morning In question witness saw the other foreigner, Emanuel Antau, for the first time. They were drinking with other Italians at the Three Crowns public-house, East Smithfield. Witness left shortly after twelve on the Sun day night, and went home to Brown Bear-alley, where she had some beer with another girl of the town. Soon after wards witness went to the Crown public-house in Butler's buildings, and saw the policeman driving several men away. Witness also observed some Irish labourers among them. In a few minutes she heard a row, and on going out of her room to the door witness saw the two foreign ers (Ramarady and Antau fighting with the Irishmen. Did' not recollect Tenyson s tag to her, nor did she see either of the foreigners stab t e deceased. Had heard Ramarady several times say, " The fi rst Englishman I get hold of I I will have his life." He had likewise thrown a bison of boiling water over her. By the Coroner—Saw a scuffle between the prisoners, but I could not swear that she saw either of them stab the de ceased, nor did she see the knife at all. Had endeavoured to recollect if any one had threatened her, but could not, having been drinking. There were upwards of twenty persons standing round the men who were fighting. Tho man Conolly stated that as he was passing No. 6, Brown Bear-alley, the Italian, Anne ran out of the pas sage and struck him on the back with a_poker. Witness ran into his own house for protection. Upon coming out again witness heard the deceased ezclaim, " I am stabbed." Could not say who stabbed the decea sed. Ellen Smith, a single woman, proved that she heard Eamunly ask Antau for a knife. Anton then handed Bamarady one who put it in his pocket.

EitioRATIoN To AWITItALIa.—Leist night Mrs. Chia°lm's second group meeting we. held at the Islington Bazaar. The room war crowded to excess. Mrs. Chisholm remarked that it was of the eldest Importance to secure the clip of wool this year, as, in the event of its being lost, thousands in Yorkshire would he reduced to pauperism. Her suggestion was, that the Yorkshire manufacturers should subscribe a certain amount to send out boys (with the consent of their parents) who were too young to obtain a lioeue for the digging,. She urged all intending emi grants to examine well the quality of the provisions of the vessels by which they were to mall, and appertain the names of the parties who supplied the vessel. Emigrants paid their ready money, and certainly ought to have good accom modation. She strongly reoommended persons not to go out singly, but in parties of fifty ; and if such a number same to her she would get another fifty to join them. As a sign that some attention was being paid to the subject, Mrs. Chisholm mentioned that model ships were being fitted up at Liverpool at the _present time for the conveyance of cm es. At the close of her address Mrs. Chisholm re tired amidst much cheering. FATAL. Bon ACCIDENT.—TTNEMOUTII, JUNE 3. This watering place has been thrown into great consterna tion by a fatal boat accident that has happened at Marsden' rock, about three miles along the Durham coast. The wife of Mr. Woods. a gentleman belonging to Leeds, accom- Panied_by female friend, a child's mud, and Mrs.Woods's two c hildren the eldest seven years, and the youngest eleven months old, engaged a boat, pulled by two Haven men, to take them on en excursion to the rock in a coble. The men's names were John Robson and Robert Hart. The boat left Tynemoath about 11 o'clock, and had arrived within about a mile of the rock, when they were overtaken by a thunder-storm. The men put in towards the shore, but in doing so, laid her athwart the sea and upset her. The accident was o' served from the shore, but before assist ance could reach the scene of accident, Robson and the two children were drowned. The females and the other boat man were taken to the rock, where every attention was paid them, and they are now recovering- The bodies of the children and boatman have been picked up this evening, and are lying at Marsden, awaiting the inquest. The boatmen were much blamed. DEATH OF AN AERONAUT. We communicated yesterday the meltncholy intel ligence that Mr. James Goatskin of Old Kent-road, had lost his life on the hills in Yorkshire, near to Saddleworth, after an ascent in a balloon from Belle Vue Gardens, Man chester. Our Manchester correspondent says :—I went yesterday (Thursday) evening to the place where Mr. ooulsten wee killed. It is on the mountainous range of hills which separate Lancashire anal Yorkshire, and about half a mile on the Yorkshire side of the boundary. It is named, on the Ordnance map, Stone Breaks Hill, and the distance from Belle Vue Gardens, as the crow flies, is only about eight miles. It is about half-way between Moseley and Oldham ; and taking the London and North Western Railway to the former place, ten miles from Manchester. I bad a walk of nearly three miles across a rough and uneven country, the very sight of which suggests the den- I gets to which an aeronaut would be exposed, in the moot favourable weather, in an attempt to gain footing again on germ/Irma. There is good pasture, and even meadow land on these rocky heights, but the place of hedge-rows is supplied by stone walls, which give the country a bleak and wild appearance. Stone Breaks Hill takes its name from an old, disused stone quarry, near to the villages of Springhead, and Austerland. So far as I can learn, Mr. Geolstun had passed over the manufacturing town of Lees ,near Oldham, and had first attempted a dergent in that neighbourhood. That must have been ten midites to a quarter before eight o'clock on Wednesday night. A working man who saw the balloon says it was then very low indeed, and rain was descending fast and the wind blowing in heavy squalls. Another man, who was standing en the side of Stone Breaks Hill, which faces towards Lees, says that he saw the balloon, and that Mr. tioubiton was ;lieu standing up in the car, aid pulling at • string which communicated with the balloon. He afterwards saw him stoop down and do something in the bottom :of tl.e car, but does not know what. The rain, and the precipitous and uneven surface of the country, prevented, no doubt, people from following the balloon to give assistance, but it was tinier ed that when the balloon was about to pass the Clayton House, the residence of Mr. Wm. llalliwell, a millowner in the neigh bourhood, the grappling irons were hanging out, anal there seemed a probability, to those who were watellinir, that they would hold by the coping.stones of the house. In this, however, they were mistaken . There is but a small space between this house and that of Mr. Edward Lawton, but the grapnels went through this opening and the balloon ascended the side of the hill. The grapnels seem to have cleared the first field on the slope of the bill, and the stone fence which bounds it ; but there are marks on the wall, on the further side of the second field, where bits of stone have been chipped off as if by the grapnels. The third field, a' meadow of mowing grass, still further up the ascent, presents a clear trail of the grappling irons dragging along the ground, and exactly 114 feet from the fur th er side, a bag of sand which had been used as ballast was found ly ing. I have heard of no one who saw the unfortunate gen tleman at this time, but there is season to believe that either owing to the grapnels, when suddenly striking the last-mentioned wall, giving a check to the balloon, or some other mischance, Mr. Cloulston fell hoed downwards from the car in passing over this meadow, and became entangled in a network of ropes underneath, for it is clear that his head struck with great force against the next wall, a little beyond the bag of sand. A considerable quantity of brains and blood spattered orer the wall marked the spot where his head came in collision with the wall, and a portion of the brain was found in the field under the wall. A portion of the scalp and some hair have else adhered to the rough stones of which the wall is composed. Up to this point the grappling irons do not appear to have taken hold of the ground, but in the next meadow they have torn up the sod considerably in six or eight different places. Tho next wall is the boundary of the field on one aide, and that of the old atone quarry from which the vil lage takes its name, on the other. The quarry has not been used now for 26 years. A quantity of blood and brains on this wall also indicate but too clearly where the unfortunate aeronaut was dragged across it. This ;11 at the summit of the hill, and the balloon passed over the quarry and against • house near it occupied by a man named Edward Kershaw, and a strong gust of wind again dashed the machine for ward with such force that Mr. Ooulaton struck the wall heavil about ten feet from the ground. Another sicken ing sp lash of blood marks the spot. Hero some villagers came up, and some of them holding fast by the ropes whilst others got hold of the balloon, • knife was run through the side, the gass allowed to escape, and its progress finally checked. The people who first came to Mr. GouWon's assistance say they found him head downwards, completely entangled in the nettim, so that they had to cut the ropes to liberate his body. Their assistance, however, was too late. Life was probably just ebbing at the moment, for all they noticed was • deep sob, and a gasp or two, and his last sen sations of this life appear to have ended. His remains were subsequently removed to the Three Crowns Inn, Auster lands, where they will probably remain till after the in- quest The blows against the walls appear to have gone on the right temple and cheek, both of which are entirely beaten in : the remainder of the face has escaped with • few scratches, and the bod) is without injury except • few scratches on the right shoulder. The shucking occurrence took dace about five minutes to eight o'clock, for about ten minutes later, when Mr. Goulston's watch was taken from his pocket, it was still going, and the fingers pointed to 6 minutes past eight. Mr. Jennison, the owner of Belle Vue Gardens, did not receive tidings of the sad catastrophe till neat morning, when his sous went over, and the balloon was also recta- I aired. It is said that young Mr. Jennison was to have gone up with Mr. Goulaton, and that a person connected with the press also was anxious to have gone, but the weather and a short supply of gas furnished reasons which induced him to decline taking a companion. Mr. Jenni son tried to dissuade him from going up himself at last, owing to the stormy state of the weather ; but he said the people would be greatly disappointed, and he refused to listen to such solicitations. The wall against which Mr. Gout sten appears to have struck first is 838 feet distant from the house of Kenbaw. His hat was found in the bottom of the ear, along with an open clasp-knife. Mr. Sadler, it appears, made en ascent from Warrington 26 years ago this month, and made • safe descent at the foot of Stone Breaks Hill, but a short distance from the scene of this fatality. The son of Mr. Goulston thinks it not unlikely his father became entangled in the ropes whilst endeavouring to step from the car, for it was his first ascent alone, and he had declared hie intention if he found a difficulty in landing of stepping out if he got near the ground, anywhere, and leaving the balloon to go where it might. EXTENSIVE BILL FORGERIEI AND CONFESSION. SHEFFIELD, FloftXX. The police authorities of this town have in me lody ea accomplished and hitherto highly successful bill foripe sad swindler, who was captured on Wednesday, and has dam made • confession of no fewer than seven eaten tiv=riet. HI name is Ernest Orapel, and it has been that he is an extensive manufacturer of mate penis Mares at Birmingham. His arrest was brought ' about la the following manner :—On Wednesday afternoon 1 he went to the warehouse of Messrs. Thomas Ellin and Co., en fassflieldmioor, and stated that he wanted to par- ' chase same expensive table cutlery. He stated in cattier- 1 satin that the goods were intended for the Bishop of I Oseabarit, and that he was purchasing for Meters. ' 1. C. Flack awl Co., of that place. He .elected goods to the anima of 751. 10a., lea an allowance of n r assliaat. kr Ithasidf, and got the invoice made out to I P. Me then presented in payment a draft for IT7L ah Si. as Kenn. Smith, Payne, and Smith, of Lon dialed Kw It 11162, and purpor ting to be drawn by said Liverpool Bank at Stafford. He de balance in gold, refusing a letter of credit on in a plea that he was going . immediately to ,seem This circumstance excited suspicion. Mr. 0. Dena. (of the firm of Messrs. Ellin and Co.) said he would snit the draft to the bank to be cashed. He indorsed it assimlingly, and the stranger countersigned it .. A. W. fthasat." The hugensuat was presented immediately aftstwards to the cashier at the Sheffield 'Banking Core pow, with a request that he would pass it to Messrs. El lis." credit and give the bearer 1001. in cash. The ambler did not like the appearance of the draft, so he referred to Mr. Wild, the sub-manager, and it was submitted to Mr. .1. H. Barber, the manager. They all agreed that it had a suspicious appearance, and so thought Messrs. Parkin and Bacon, engravers, to whom Mr. Barber submitted it for scrutiay. The manager thereupon procured the aid of two police odious, who went forthwith to Messrs. Ellin's establish ment, where the payer was waiting, and bad some conver sation with him, which ultimately induced him to give the individual into custody. Tho bank manager next pro ceeded to the establishment of Messrs. Josh. Rodgers and Sons, upon whom he knew a forged draft had been lut autumn. Mr. Robert Newbold, a partner L eim td firm, after hearing from Mr. Barber what had transpired, accompanied him to the police o ffi ce, and recognised the man in custody as the very person who in September last paid him a forged banker's draft for 1981. Ils. 2d., in payment for 801. 18s. 9d. worth of cutlery, giving as a reference Messrs. Zwelchenhart and Co., merchants, Liverpool. The draft, it appears, purported to be drawn by the Coventry and Warwickshire banking company, In favour of J. .1. Elder, and by the latter specially endorsed I to lt. A. Lambert, the name by which the prisoner then passed. He got the balance in cash, and a few days after wards the draft was discovered to be a forgery. So com plete was the deception that the discovery was not made till the instrument reached the banking-house of Messrs. Jones Loyd, and Co., who found it out because they had not received any advice of it. The prisoner, finding himself completely caught, made a full confession of his guilt, awl avowed his connexion with fire or aix other forgeries. Ile has since been very com municative and has explained with great minuteness the modals oper andi which he bas weed so very successful in deceiving bath commercial men lind bankers. These re velations are likely to prove of great value in the detection of future forgeries. The prisoner was brought up before the mayor this day, on the two charges named above, and lurther accused (on his own confession) of another fraud of the same nature. On Saturday let he purchased goods to the amount of 901., of Messrs. Bloomer and Co., iron merchants, Weotbromich, tendering in payment a draft for 1871. 7s. 3d., purporting to be drawn by the Manchester and Liverpool Bank. the Wesdromich bank cashed the draft, endorsed by the pri soner, "A. W. &most," and he received the change against the purchase. This forged draft, singularly enough, passed through three banks, and reached Meats. Smith, Payne, and Smiths', without having been detected. Some evidence having been taken, the case was remanded to Wednesday next. THI ELECTIONS. CITY OF LONDON.—Last night a meeting wag held at the White Hart Tavern, Bishopegate-strect, for the purpose of censidering what steps should be adopt, d with referenco to the forthcoming election for the City. Mr. R. Bateman presided, and ireopening the proceeding. remarked that a meeting had been held a few days since at the Loa don Tavern with closed doors. Why the doors were chased he could nut conceive. It was monstrous to suppose that the few persons who had met on that occasion wore to dic tate to the City of London whom they should choese or whet they should an at the next election. Mr. Bateman than proceeded to examine the personal qualifications of the present members, wkom he emphatically condemned. He concluded by calling on Mr. C. Gilpin. That gentle ni . tumoved a resolution asserting the necessity of having for repreeenta tires men who would express the actual views of th. - ell Mors. llie could not rapport Lord John Remelt. lie honoured the man for his past deeds, but Lord John kusaell of the present day was a very different man to what lie was a few years ago.

Great uproar ensuing upon the proposal of the amendment, Mr. Brook did nut enlarge upon it, and after ron,ilerable discussion it was withdrawn.

HEDYORD.—A correspondent says : " Mr. Whit bread, jun., has attended two public dinners iu e,uoesiona with the benefit societies of this town, being the Urn time that gentleman has met any number of the eleven., but as religion and polities are excluded on such occasions, the electors arc still in tbo dark respecting his political and religious opinions, which he has also failed to declare in his addresses.

SCARBOROI.4II.—Mr. George Frederick Young has issued a lung address to the electors of this berJagli, in which be declares himself still a thorough pretec,,,,hed, and says—" I repeat, therefore, my earnest recommendstions to every protectionist to support Lord Derby, as the only pos sible means of regaining protection in any dorm." ELEMENTARY DRAWING SCHOOLS. Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of West minster and its vicinity was held at the Mechanics' Insti tute, Great Smith-street, for the purpose of Inaugur.imig an elemental drawing school, in connexion with the Metro politan School of Ornamental Art at Somerset House. Mr. HENLEY, M.P., took the chair at three o'clock. Sir W. I'. WOOD, M.P., one of the vice-presidents of the institution, said the meeting had assembled for the pur pose of hearing from the superintendents of the cent/al school at Somerset House an explanation of the important connection which was now, under the sanction of tier Ma jesty's government, about to be established beta Len this institution and the Government Schools of Design. It must be a matter of congratulation to the members ut this institution, that the chair hod been taken by that member of her Majesty's cabinet who presided over that important department with which that and similar institutions were so closely connected—he meant the Board of Trade. He looked upon the presence of that right hon. gentleman among them on that occasion as a testimony to their steady attachment, in every respect, to good order and good government; and he trusted that they would always show themselves worthy of the honour of being thus selected to take apart in the great work of promoting the extension of a sound artistical education among the people of this country. The CHAIRMAN said be had much pleasure in giving his cordial co-operation in establishing this connexion between the Westminster Institution and the metropolitan schools of design. It would be felt by all that it was a inatt..r of the greatest importance that a'.l who had a turn ur taste for drawing, should receive an elementary instruction in the art, based upon sound and correct principles ; and such an arrangement as that just made wth the government schools was the best possible means of securing this end. He would call upon Mr. Cole,_ general superintendent of the central school, to explain the principles on which that eunnexion had been founded. Mr. Cote then addressed the meeting, stating that the Central School of Design, at Somerset-house, had been con stituted in 1837, and its establishment was speedily fol lowed by that of 21 other schools located in other ;nine of the kingdom. 1: was at lint mourned that there existed students already qualified by sufficient elementary know ledge to enter these institutions, but the experi ence of fourteen years had shown that that assump tion was unfounded. It had been found that the students bad to be trained, not merely to be able to under stand and practise the principles of design, but often to learn the very elements of drawing, so that instead of affording instruction in the higher departments of art, the schools became what they had been officially and truly re ported to be. "mere drawing-schools." It was this feeling that had induced the government now openly to recognise for the first time the want of elementary instruction in art for all classes, and the present meeting might be viewed as the beginning of a systematic effort on the part of the go % -nment to supply hat acknowledged deficiency. The meeting wu afterwards addressed by Mr. 'tenement and other gentlemen, who pointed out the various &dews twee resulting to all classes from an extended knowledge of drawing, and urged the necessity of making this and the decorative arts generally a part of general and popular edw Upon the motion of Mr. G. Gonwin, seconded by ISir Du LACY EVANS, M P., a resolution in favour of t h e objects of the meeting was unanimously agreed to, and thi , business terminated. SUPPRESSION OF BETTING HOUSES.—On Thurs day afternoon a meeting, most respectably attended, of the inhabitants of the united pariahs, of Bt. Anne awl Agnes with St. John Zachary, in the City of London, was held in the vestry of the parish church, St. Ann's, Lime street, St. M artin's-le-Grand, for the purpose of taking into consideration " the best means by which the demoralising influence of the establishments called . betting-houses' may be suppressed." Mr. W. Farmer, one of the churchwardens, presided. The subject hallos been treated by several gentlemen, house holders in the parishes above-mentioned, it was agreed to request Sir P. Laurie, alderman of the ward, to convene a ward meeting, and further to present a petition to the legis lature prming for the suppression of betting-hou.ea. THE YORKSHIRE UNION OP MECHANICS' INSTI , Tinto/N.—The manual meeting of this important union was held at Skiptoe, on Wednesday last, the proceedings cannected therewith commenting at 11 o'clock in the morn leg by • Emoting of delegates in the hall et the Castle, and terminating bye soiris in a large room at the Craven Lead Works. At the enslaves in the morning, Edward Baines, Esq., presided, and in his opening speech congratu lated the delegistes on the present position and future pros pects of the union.

After the reading of the re port, which was adopted. a conference of fire hoot,' dura tion took place, the discussions being upon points of it tail connected with the management of mechanics' institutions. In the evening the proceedings were brought to a ClOll2 by a lareputlic assemb lage in a large room at the Craven Lead Works, when the Rig ht lion. Sir Charles Wood, Bart.. M.P., presided .
