Wallcott'a and Cap tain Palmer's batteries of the first brigade, garrison Royal Artillery, assembled on parade, and after inspection marched to the Royal Arsenal Pier, preceded by the band of the regiment, for embarkation on board the screw troop vessel 31egira, Giannusoder Henderson, for Gibraltar. The force embarked about half-past two o'clock, and the vessel will proceed on her voyage at an early hour to-morrow morning. In addition to thq field officer in com mand,cudT sad the officers tag each battery, the following officers will pane the force Second Captains F. H. W. and M. F. F. Taylor; Lieutenants C. Trench, C. . G. Gyll, C. D. E. Smith larks, J. It. J. Br u m ley, • . G. B. Gantry. The remaining batteries of the first brigade, with the entire staff, comprising Colonel Sir Deli. Wood, K.C.8., Colonel G. A. F. lle Rimy, LieutiMedt-Coloael P. Maclean, Lieu tenaut-Colonel A. Thompson, Paymaster Brisley, Adjutant Schrieber, and Quartermaster Can, will, with the batteries new embarked, relieve the fifth brieade of Royal Artillery, on dirty at Gibraltar, which is ordered to relieve the third brigade at Plymouth. The !lepers will convey two batteries of the fifth brigade from Gibraltar to Plymouth, and the third brigade at the latter station, consisting of eight tiaMeriss, is ordered to Woolwich. POIt'IIiMOUTIT, JAN. M. The Cossack, 20, screw corvette, Captain Moor man, will be docked on Friday to undergo • on4h refit. It appears that during her present and former commtsaien a considerable number of ulcer cases occurred on board, and the Admiralty have, consequently, ordered her to becleared out, and boiling water to be pumped through her lining, the vessel being afterwards dried by means of hot stoves. The Commack was in course of construction by a private English firm for the Bowden government at the outbreak of the last war, and was seised by direction of the English government as a lawful prise. She was hastily built, and the prevalence of the ulcer cages is attributed to the in. Suence of the green timber. First Lieutenant Barkley will be superseded, in pursuance of • request made by him in August last, by Lieutenant H. Rogers, the request having been made for private reasons, and not on account of any circumstances connected with the late court-martial. The ship's company have been granted ten days leave, by watches. The Himalaya, screw troop ship, Captain John Seocombe, is daily expected to arrive at Spithead from the Mediterra nean, with invlaL. The Princess Royal, 91, *crew, was commissioned this morning by Captain Charles Fell:mem, for the flag of Rear. Admiral of the White Robert Smart, K.H., appointed commander-in-chief of the Channel fleet. The Bulldog, 6, steam sloop, Commander Henry F. M'Hillop, will be ready to proceed to Spithead about Saturday next. The Glasgow, 51, screw, and the Chanticleer, 51, screw, are both in a forward state for launching. The former is now receiving her first coat of paint. The 3rtl City of Loudon Rifle Volunteer Corps paraded on Towerbill, and marched out, headed by the brass bead and drams and fifes, last Saturday, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Richards. The route taken was over London-bridge to Kennington-gate and back. Nearly four hundred men are now in uniform, and both bands, composed solely of volunteers, numbering twenty-oes s each band, will be in uniform by the end of the week. The Z:nt will parade on Wednesday at the Floral-ball, and a muster is expected. Nearly all the commissions are up, and it is confidently hoped that the regiment will in a very short time be wetted. LANCASHIRE COUNTY RIFLZ ASSOCIATION.—Yes terday (Tuesday) a meeting of the provisional committee of the Lanatehire County Kille Association was held in the Mayor's pricer, at the Liverpool Town-hall. Lord Stanley, M.P.. presided ; and there were also present the following geutlemen :—Colonel Wilson Patten, Towneley Parker, Pao„ Mafot Blundell, Mai or Gray, M.P., the Mayor of Liverpool, the Mayor of Preston, Captain Brooks (Man chester), Lieut.-Colonel Browne, LieuL -Colonel Gladstone, and John Blundell, Esq. The proceedinp were of the most satisfactory character, and arrangements were made for the appointment of local committees in the principal towns of the county. • G. Melly was appointed honorary local sell, for THE EXPLOSION AT rms ROYAL ENGINEER ESTABLISHMENT. CHATHAM. CHATHAM, TunatY. Since the unfortunate accident which occurred at the Royal Engineer establishment yesterday all work in connection with the manufacture of the Nees and hand grenades has been suspended at the laboratory ; and, iudW• from the perfect wreck which was made of that portion of the north gun shed devoted to the manufacture of those missiles, it will be impossible for the work to he resumed for some time. At the time of the accident there were about fifty shells of various sizes in the laboratory waiting to be filled, some of them being large 10-inch shells. Thews, fortuastely, were net charged when the explosion occurred, or the results would have been of the most ap palling character. There were also several hundred hand grenades, filled and empty, in the factory at the time, and a number of sappers were occupied a considerable time to. day in picking up the exploded eases and grenades from among the flgbris. The force of the explosion may be ima gined when it is stated that the whole of the huts forming the Hut-barracks, some distance from the factory, were shaken to their foundation, most of the inmates nab ing out into the square to ascertain the emote. A number of troops of the line were drilling close to the north gun shed at the time of the accident, and these,' on hearing the explosion and seeing a portion of the laboratory blown away, threw down their arms and ran away, under the impression that the whole building would blow up. Nearly every room in Brompton barracks was shaken, and the report heard over the whole establishment. Most of the sufferers by the ac cident, who were taken to the Royal Engineer Hospital, are proceeding satisfactorily. This morning Colonel Har ness, C. 8., director of the Royal Engineer establishment, visited the laboratory, in order to witness the scene of the accident. The resul t of his visit was that directions have been given for the discontinuance of the manufacture of the hand-grenades and fuses in the gun shed, and another building, of a more appropriate character, is to be devoted for that purpose. An official report of the accident, toge ther with a copy of the evidence taken by the Board of Inquiry, has been forwarded to the Duke of Cambridge.

The return of births and deaths in London herd by authority of the Registrar-Cameral Mates that last week the mortality of London was very high. COld weather of a few weeks' duration will kill many per• sons at the period of Its greatest rigour ; and afterwards its fatal effects are not lessened, but appear to accumulate. In the last tire weeks the mean weekly temperature has not been higher than 32'4 dap, nor lower than 2%1 dege. in this period the two coldest weeks were the second and the fourth ; and the numbers of the deaths were emcees. lively 1,267, 1,406, 1,707, 1,707, and (in the week that spoiled last Saturday) 1,926. The average number of deaths as obtained from the re turns of corresponding weeks in ten previous years 1851-60, end corrected for increase of population, is 1.341. The actual number of deaths (1,920 in last week exceeds the estimated number by 585. Pulmonary complaints, exclusive of phthisis, carried off in the week 702 periwig, whilst the corrected average for corresponding weeks is only 301. The deaths from bron• chitia are included under the above general bead, and number 471, the average being 164 ; those from pneumonia are 155 evilest 94 ; those from asthma 57 %mind 23. Of the 471 persons who died from bronchitis 204 were in the period of life 60-80 years. The deaths of 183 persona are assigned to phthies, the avenge being 157. Whooping cough rose to $3. Forty-four deaths were caused by apoplexy, the average being 30 ;43 by paralysis, against an average of 27. Heart (remises were fatal in 119 cases; the average is only 53. Of 120 persons who died at the age of 80 years and up wards, 12 were nonagenarians, all women except 4. The oldest war a widow aged 99 pots and ten months. Braider these a centenarian is recorded, who is stated to have died at the age of 101 years. She was the widow of achairmaker, and her death occurred on the 15th instant at 30, Cleveland. street. A shoemaker, aged 60 years, died at 10, Robin Rood court, Shosrlane, on January 10th, of "disease of the lump accelerated by want of proper nourishment, and by exposure to cold ;" and the wife of a soldier, aged 25 years, Wed on January 12th, In Camden-court, St. Luke's, from " disease of the lungs accelerated by went of necessaries ; found dead.* Inquests were held in both cases.

DIPICTATION or THR METROPOLITAN BOARD or WORMS TO THE Hone SECRETART.—The dea r ttion of the chairman and members of the Metropolitan of Works that waited on Sir George Corneivall Lewis, the Home Secre tary, on Saturday, laid before him the important objects sought to be obtained in the ensuing session for arnemling the Metropolis Local Management Act. The main object had in view by the board in the altemtioas and improve ments proposed consisted, it was explained, in the removal of some of the chief obstacles that have hitherto been ea countered by the board aDii by vestries and district boards in carrying out their duties under the existing act, without introducing any radical change or any new constitution in time bodies. In doing this it was proposed to make pro vides for the apportionment and payment of the mortgage debts of the old Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers ; to define the area of taxation with reference to the assessments of the board ; to fix the standard, and ensue due payment of the assessment. ; to facilitate the collection of rates by restrict, and render the remedies of district boards more effectual by compelling overseers to account for monies ; to insure the equal taxation of all rateable property for the of the sewage rate ; to facilitate the procedure of purpose, boards ; to define and enforce the obligations of private miles as to &Mange and paving of new streets ; to reader the law effectual as to frontage of buildings and naming end numbering attests ; to guard the *ewers against encroach. meet and injury ; to repress nuisances in connexion with the jurisdiction of the act, and to protect its officers ; and for other purposes connected with the local management of the metropolis. Sir G. C. Lewis having thanked the deputation for the information laid before him, promised that the subject should receive the fullest consideration from himself and his I colleagues in the ensuing cession.

In view of the probable effects of the American crisis on the future supply of cotton the pmviaiorud direc tors of the Cotton Company (limited) have appealed to a general meeting of spinners and manufacturer+. which was held at Manchester yesterday, in support of the project, the trade at large having so far failed to afford means for the undertaking. The meeting resembled in the Mayor's Parlour, but was adjourned to the largest room of' the Town•hald, which was soon crowded iu every part. The Mayor of MANcimargn (Mr. Curtis) took the chair. There were present Lord A. Churchill, M.P., Mr. Barley, M.P., Mr. J. A. Turner, M.P., Captain Gray, M.P., Mr. J. Cheatham, Mr. E. Ashworth, Mr. H. Ashworth, Mr. E. Potter, Mr. H. Littledale, Mr. T. Mosley, Mr. W. Wank lyn, Mr. J. Peeler, Mr. Stolterfoht, Mr. If. Mason, Mr. D. Chadwick, Mr. Bell (of Madras), and many other gentlemen of influence. Mr. J. CHUTHAM. President of the Cotton Supply Asso ciation, moved :—" That this meeting deeply regrets the present dependence of the cotton trade upon one chief source of supply for its raw material, the production of which is now alarmingly imperilled by the disturbances in the Southern States .4 the American Union ; and recom mends that _efforts commensurate with the impending danger should be called forth to prevent the calami ties thus threatening capital and labour; RA, unless cotton adequate to the existing large consumption be pro vided, loss and distress will result in fearful consequences." He wished the meeting to adopt the principle that we ought not to depend mainly upon one source of supply for our cotton. (Hear, hear.) It did seem strange that • trading class pre-eminently distinguished for commercial intelligence should have been so quietly dependent on on. source for the supply of their raw material, contrary to the rule which infiummed them in all other directions. He might be told that we were similarly dependent on China for our tea. But the ordinary stock of tea in Great Bel. rain was usually equal to eighteen months' consumption, though the present stock was only sufficient for nine months. Last year the world supplied us with 5,554,000 bales of cot ton, of which 84j per cent. carne from America ; and the average stock in the hands of the trails had not exceeded, on the average, fifteen weeks' consumption, taking the last eight years, when the average stock bad been lower than at any former period of the histo7 of our cotton trade. The largest stock ever known in this country was sufficient for 53 weeks, in the year 1820 ; aod the smallest was in 1848, when we bad only 11 weeks' supply at Liver pool, or in the hands of consumers. He believed that cir cumstances bed now arisen which would not permit this question to be trilled with any longer—icheers)— for unfor tunately there was connected with that production on which we relied to the extent of 85 per cent. a system of slavery denounced by every civilised country us an outrage upon our common humanity, and which even the more advanced por tion of the United States itself had at last conic to protest against. In presenoe of the crisis resulting to the trade from the internal divisions of America on this questir i it was incumbent, in the first place, upon those princi p a ll y inte rested to set about enlarging the area of supp ly ; and, speaking on behalf of all the gentlemen around him, be would say they would not accept the efforts of any public association that might be established for the par. roe by persons actuated solely by a feeling of the na. tional importance of the matter, if they were to be left un. supported by theme immediately concerned in the trade. Mr. J. Peel= seconded the resolution. He believed that Lancashire was at length becoming alive to her perilous position, and he had great faith in the energy of Lancs. shire men when once it was aroused. (Hear, bear.) The history of cotton-growing in America was the greatest possible encouragement to us to " go ahead " likewise in lodia. Seventy.five years ago la bour was imported into America to grow cotton, wader Anglo-Saxon directions. With the acme energy nod facilities in India, we might hope for the same results in a much shorter time, considering the extent of land only re. quiring to be tilled, and the amount of labour that only re. quired encouragement. He believed the ',mac y requ isite was not so much • cotton•growing corupany as a banking company, which should offer facilities at fair rates to growers of cotton, and that Englishmen should settle in India, availing themselves, as we did in this country, of such banking facilities, and dealing fairly with the native for his cotton, paying him according to the quality. At the same time it should be borne in mind that our exports to America were falling off, Dot only through the present disturbances, but from the large increase of manufactures in that country. is the same way other countries were actively nom. peting with us. We were bound therefore to look oat 1 for other market', and if India could supply England with cotton, she could be paid for it in our manufactures. If the present drain of gold to pay for cotton was to continue, it would bring about • state of things which would materially alter the valise of property. This cotton emestion was, therefore, to be looked upon es one of iself.preservation, social and political, for it was the wealth created by the industry of this nation that gave us the high position and morallpcwer, enabling England to look on with calmness whilst other countries were convulsed. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BAzter, M.P., maid the great cotton industry was imperilled at this moment by disastrous occurrences in the United States, which we might all contemplate with deep foreboding and alarm. Three months ago there was held a meeting in that Town-ball, for the purpose of promoting an enlarged supply of cotton by the means of some great or to encourage its growth and bring it from new fields of cultivation Sothis market, so as to render us leis dependent on one source of supply. He regretted exceed ingly that the trade did not appreciate the propositions put forward on that occasion. The old plea was miss', that the law of supply and demand should relieve us from dd. acuity. For his own part, he had for more than twenty years past seen and urged the necessity of the tunic at large administering to its own wants, and providing from as many sources as possible a greet supply of the raw noterial so largely consumed in this country. Public opinion, however, hate been very much in advance of the opinions prevailing among spinners, manufacturers, and merchants identified with the cotton iudustrv. With such encouragement and stimulus as was held out in recent articles of the Times and Dail+, Net , * (from which the hon. member read extracts) the !reale ought to rouse and vindi cate itself, and not be dependent on the contribution of capital from sources independent of its own rich treasures. From Lancashire and front Lanarkshire there should arise • firm phalanx of individuals, not only determined to re• trieve their position, but to vindicate the rights of the negro. (Cheers.) We had Dever obtained any great benefit for the trade of this country without organisation. By that means we repealed the cern laws, and broke down the monopoly of the East India Company. Is other countries, also, we might see orgauisitions at work to anticipate us in obtaining cotton. Yet with such ample proofs of the necessity of organisa tion, we bad amongst us men who said the law of supply and demand would abundantly provide us. It might be, of course, that those who had funds could regale themselves at the London Coffee-house- (laughter)—but the penniless must starve before they could pan entrance and in the same way some of our manufactories must stop if we were to depend at this juncture on the law of supply and de mand for the material so much needed. If our production of cotton manufactures was to go OD iocreasing at 10 per cent. per annum, and our exports at 24 per cent., where should we obtain markets if we neglected to make use of such immense capabilities as those of our East Indian pos sessions Some great effort must be made on the part of the trade to support those members of the House of Com mons who contended for the regeneration of India. (Cheers.) Why should not we also make an effort to introduce labourers into the Australian colony of Queensland, whence excellent cotton could be bad ? He was quite sure that the government of the country was perfectly willing to assist the trade in increasing the supply of its raw material. It would be with the greatest ease that 230,000 Chinamen with their families (perhaps.. million of people), might iu the course of a comparatively short time be removed from the Chinese empire to our Australian permeations. In the *ours of two or three years we might by some strenuous exertions produce a crop of cotton equal to two million bags tin the year. Reviewing these and other suggest he took heart, and felt that we had the power to help ourselves, if we had but the courage to do so. (Cheers.) If in connexion with some effort to supple cotton, whether from India or Australis, 1,000 men in England would advance 1,0001. each—this capital of one million would be but a trifling cootribution from a trade in which was invested something like 200 millioos—their raw material would thus be insured at • very cheap rate indeed. The resolutiou was unanimously adopted. Mr. H. Masoe moved the next resolution, which was se conded by Mr. T. M. Racial', of Liverpool :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the emergence demands that prompt, liberal, aid ample support should lie afforded for the formation of a powerful joint stock limited liability company, to promote an increased cultivation of cotton, by offoing to pun-base it in India, Australia, Africa, or other countries ; and that • capital of one million sterling, in shares of 10/. each, should be raised for this purpose." Mr. DADARMAI NAOROJI, a Pants merchant, supported the resolution in an animated speech, which was loudly applauded. He remarked that persons who were always talking about the law of supply and demand being equal to every emergency seemed very apt to overlook the obstacles in the way of supply which they ought to set about removing. (Cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. EDMUND AisMwoaTH moved :—" That this meeting cordially approves the initiatory efforts of the provisional directors of the ' Cotton Company, Limited,' and is of opinion that at the present crisis, the basis of their action shouldibe greatly enlarged, and hereby strongly recommends that the exertions of that body be vigorously renewed, its permanent directors appointed, the company registered, and operations commenced without delay." Mr. J. Pt.arr (of Oldham), in seconding the resolution, stated that the present annual rate of production of cotton spinning machinery was equal to three million spindles for Great Britain, one million for the remainder of Europe, sad two millions for America, being • total of six minus spindles. To furnish this large increase of manufacturin; power with tLe requisite supply of raw material, would require an annual inerea..e of upwards of 400,000 bales of cotton. (Hear, hem.) The resolution was briefly supported by Lord ALFRED CHURCHILL. M.P., awl unanimously adopted. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the mayor. CITY COUAT 01' SEWERS. The Commimionere of &were for the City of Ueda' held their usual weekly court yestenlay, at the othma of the eonnnission in Guildhall ; Mr. Deputy CERES. TIE, the chairman of the comnuasioe, presided. SANITARY CONDITION OP THE CITY. Dr. Lcrituut, the medical officer of health, reported on the state of 182 houses that had been visited during the week, and he submitted a list of 47 places for sanitary ini pnivement. All the City slaughter-houses and mar k ets h a d been iuspected during the week, and the o ffi cers had se i ze d 4,33411 n., or nearly two tons, of meat as unfit for human food; 2,57611 e. were seised in Newgate-market by lir. Fisher, 456 lbs. in Lesdenhall by Mr. Davidson, and 1.32"1b5. in Aldgate, Tyler's-market, and elsewhere, by Mr. Newman. Of these quantities, 3,790 lbs., or nearly • ton and • quarter, were seized on account of disease, 416 lbs. by reran of putridity (all of which wan venison), and 11$11a. on account of it. being from animals that had died from natural cause.. The atonality returns for the week are still in excess of the average. In the corresponding week of the last five years there were but 60 deaths, whereas in the week which has just expired there were9o-32, or rather more than athirdof these, were among children of less than five years of age ; a nd 30, or just another third, were among old persona of 60 and up wards. ca The chief uses of death were diseases of the resprratm7 organs. There were U from phthisis, 9 from pneumonia, and 28 from bronchitis—in all 49 deaths from these affec- Mons, of which 40 were caused by the exciting influence of the weather. Zymotic dimities were fatal in only a instances, viz. :-2 from scarlet•fever, 2 from measles, and 1 from con tinued fever. 64 baths were registered in the week, viz.:-30 boys and 34 girls. THE ADI•LTFRATION OF FOOD ACT. The Improvement (onimittee made a report, as did also the General Purposes Committee, which latter recom -wended that a consolidated rate of Rd. in the pound should be levied, and a sewers rate of :id. in the pound. The latter committee also reported that it had been in communication with Dr. Letheby, the medical analyst under the Adultera tion of Food Act, and recommended that a short abstract of the act should be printed and put in circulation throughout the City of London. In answer to questions put by Dr. Rosa, it was stated that the balance at present in hand on account of im provements was 20,000(. ; and on that of the sewers about 1,500/. Dr. ROHR then inquired whether any inspectors had been appointed to carry out the Adulteration of Food Act? The CHAIRMAN said that this subject had been mentioned on a former occasion, and it was thought by the court that the better course would be to leave the matter in the hands of the public for the present. Dr. Ross said he was afraid if this was the case that the act would become a dead letter. Mr. Deputy FAR HER in q uired or Dr. Letheby whit steps had been taken to bring the act of parliament into opera. lion, and whether it was likely to carry out the object for which it was framed ? He also wished to know whether it war not necessary to prove that any party complained of had acted knowingly and wilfully? Dr. Lrruner said that any person who sold an article of food wu supposed to do so with a knowledge that it was pure and unadulterated. Deputy FAIMER said he doubted whether this was so. Dr. Lrnimir then real the clause in the act, which is as follows :—" Any person who shall sell any article of food or drink with which, to the knowledge of such person, any ingredient or material injurious to the health of the person eating or drinking such article has been mixed, mid any person who shall sell as pure and unadulterated any article of food or drink which is adulterated or not pure, shall for every such offence forfeit a penalty not exceed ing 5/.," &c. The act, he said, evidently contemplated two descriptions of adulteration—one that was likely to be inju rious to health, and the other the deterioration of the quality of the article that was sold. Several members of the court expresso:4l their opinion, after considering the terms of the clause of the act, that it would be entirely inoperative, as it would be next to impel. aible to prove that the party complained of had " know• ingly" sold an adulterated article. Dr. ASHAHAII said he did not concur in the opinion of his brother commissioners in this respect. He was of °plaice that tradesmen were bound to take care that they sold a pure article, and if they did not do so they were hal& to be fined, ad that time wee the intention of the statute. Dr. UTUEBY observed that even if the law would not reach parties who were guilty of selling adulterated articles the ant of parliament would still do good in this respect, that it would afoul an opportunity of publishing the names of those who had sold articles that were adulterated. Deputy HA millHoN said he was satisfied from the remarks that been made by his brother commissioners in refer ence to the matter that any further discussion upon the subject of this act of parliament was not likely to be attended with any good effect, and he should, therefore, move that the court proceed to other business. The subject then dropped. THE ILLUMINATED COLEMNS. .... ..... Dr. Ross called the attention of the court to the fact that some time back permiseion had been given to erect an illuminated advertising Column in Holborn, the conditions for the permission being that it should be lighted at night, and that an illuminated clock should also be put up, chow ing the hour. lie had mused down Holborn on a great mane occasions at night, and he found that the column was not lighted at all, there 11114 no clock put up, and in fact all the conditions upon which the permission - for the erection of the column was given had been violated. lie there- fore moved, that the inspector should give notice to that effect to the parties by whom the column had been erected. and that it would be removed forthwith. _ The motion was seconded, and carried unanimously. Mr. HAYWOOD, the engineer to the commission, re ported, amongst other matters, that he had received an application from the City of London Volunteer Rifle Bri ride, for permission to erect shooting butte near the ceme tery at Word. Deputy HA HEDY IN said that the matter did not strictly come under the cogniaince of this court, but he would ob serve that the brigade had expended a large sum of money In the purchase of ground near the Crystal Palace for the purpose of shooting exercise, and an injunction bad been obtained by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood restrain ing them from using it for that purpose, and the money was all lest. As to the proposed site near the cemetery, the project might possibly enhance the value of that particular erectiou—(a Laugh)--but lie doubted whether the inhabi tants would be agreeable to the plan. In order to afford time for further consideration, be should therefore move that the matter be referred to the General Purposes Committee.—Agreed to, and the court adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. --*-- CARLISLE, MIDWAY. Last night a great meeting was held in this city in favour of parliamentary reform. Mr. Councillor Poarra predded ; and the resolutions and petition which were adopted, were moved by electors, seconded by non-electors and supported by Mr. Lawson, M.P., and Mr. W. Wilke. Mr. LAWSON, M.P., in the course of his speech, said—l think that this moment, just before the opening of parlia ment, is a right moment for meeting together to press upon the government the importance of settling this great ques tion of parliamentary reform. We are fortunately living in quiet times. Now is the time to set our house in order— for think of the effect upon this country of two or three bad harvests or the failure of the cotton crop in America. I think no one can look without alarm at the prospect of hundreds of thousands of working men thrown out of em ployment by such a calamity, when, in addition to the pang. of hunger, they at the same time feel the sense of injustice rankling in their breasts. I do not say that it would be right to do so, but we know what human nature is—and at such a time when four-fifths of the people of this country are ex cluded from taking any part in what is called self govern ment. which they suppose is their right, we need nut be aurprised if they felt disposed to revenge thenieelves upon the one-fifth who excluded them from that power. I 'ay, then, let us be prepared. Let us make everything secure before the storm comes. As good citizens, 1 believe we are doing our duty by meeting here to-night to urge upon the go 'eminent the settlement of this great question—a settlement which will not tend to set one class against smother, at is falsely and foolishly predicted, but, on the contnirv, will tend to make all classes live together in a more friendly and harmonious spirit, and will also. I believe in my conscience, do much to promote peace, prosperity, and contentment in our country. The BUR3LEM POTTERIEN.—The extensive pottery works at Biuslem. Staffordshire, formerly in the possession of !lawn. Alcock and Son, have Cow peeled by purchase into the hands of Alderman Sir James Duke. M.P. for the City of London, and of his neph ews, M r.
