Moved by Mr. TotiGE, seconded by Mr. ROPER, and resolved unanimously— That the regulations proposed to be sanctioned by the Bill would, if passed into a law, have the effect of rendering chemists and druggists in general, both wholesale and retail, and a numerous class of persons not makers of spirits, or otherwise at present subject to the jurisdiction of the Excise, but who may happen to employ spirits of wine in any of their processes, or deal in articles into which spirit enters as a principal ingredient, and who cannot amount to fewer than 30,000 persons at the least, amenable to the Excise: regulations ; and to the provisions of the Bill, which are in many respects highly inquisitorial, vexatious, arbitrary, and unjust, beyond the ordinary laws and regulations of Excise. Moved by Mr. Warts., seconded by Mr. PRESTON, and reso:ved unanimously— That such an extension of the jurisdiction of the excise is uncon stitutional and most objectionable and obnoxious, and in the opinion of this meeting, no existing state of circumstances could justify the introduction into Parliament of a measure of so important and ob jectionable a character at any moment, and still less so at this late period of the session. Moved by Mr. SQUIRE, seconded by Mr. TAM, and resolved unanimously __ . _ • That this meeting pledges itself to tise its utmost endeavours to prevent the Bill in question from being passed into a law. Moved by Mr. GIFFORD, seconded by Mr. Hum, and resolved unanimously— That these resolutions be published in the Times, the Morning Post, the Morning Chronicle, the Morning Herald, the Daily News, the Public Ledger, the Globe, and The Sun, newspapers. Moved by Mr. PRESTON, seconded by Mr. HOWARD, and resolved unanimously— That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to the Chair man, as well for his conduct in the chair this day, as for the energy and ability he has displayed in watching over the interests of the trade on the present occasion.

MURDER AT• THE GUILDHALL COFFEE-HOUSE. On Saturday, while the Lord Mayor was engaged in the routine business of the Mansion House, Inspector Woodruffe, of the City police, informed his Lordship that the cook at the Guildhall Coffee-house, had just cut the throat of the kitchen-maid, and that she was dead. Soon after, John Smith, th e p erson accuse d o f th e murder, was brought in to the justice-room and placed at the bar. He is about thirty years of age. He seemed to be in a state of excessive mental agony. The following witnesses were then called : William Rozin stated as follows : I am boots at the Guildhall Coffee-house. The prisoner was cook in the same service, and the deceased, whom we called Susan, was acting as kitchenmaid. About half past twelve o'clock this day I was cleaning one of the windows of the folding doors of the front entrance of the coffee-house in Gresham-stre e t, w h en I saw t h e kitchenmaid come screaming from the kitchen up to the corner of the stairs, with the blood run ning from her throat. I ran towards her, and she fell before I got to her. She had a knife in her hand. She said nothing, and died almost instantly. There is a back entrance to the kitchen, as well as the one from which she came. I had not been in the kitchen for an hour before. At that time the prisoner was . in the kitchen, dressed in a brown jacket and apron (his cook's dress), and the deceased and two other persons, namely, the scullerymaid and a little girl who assists in the kitchen. Immediately upon the deceased falling, I went into the kitchen, leaving her upon the ground, and there I saw the prisoner alone. He walked from the table (upon which I observed the cook's dress, and also a knife covered with blood, lying) to meet me, and I said, " Dear me, what is the matter ?" He said to me, " I have done it, and I wish you to give me in charge." He looked very pale and ghastly. The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear whether there had been any quarrel between the prisoner and the deceased? Witness—l heard that there had been a previous quarrel between them, but I heard nothing of it myself. The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear that there had been a quarrel between them recently ? Witness—l heard that there was quarrelling between them on the previous night. I have heard them quar relling together. Sometimes they were on good terms together, and sometimes the reverse. The prisoner is a married man, and I am not aware of any intimacy be tween the prisoner and the deceased. The prisoner has been in his situation several years, and had served his apprenticeship to Mr. Walters, the proprietor of, the Guildhall Coffee-house. The deceased was in Mr. Walters's service about twelve months. I have heard that the deceased was some relative to the prisoner's wife. When I saw her come along, I called out as loud as I could for Mr. Walters, our master, and some of the servants came down. Before the prisoner came up to where the deceased was lying, he said. " I was drove to do it." A policeman came in immediately afterwards, and the prisoner gave himself into custody in the pas sage, near the spot on which the deceased was lying. The prisoner said to the policeman, " I have done it—l have done it," and he was then taken into custody. The deceased was not touched till the doctor came. The Lord MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to ask the witness any questions ?—The prisoner heaved a deep sigh, and said, "No." Inspector Woodruffe said I am an inspector of the City of London police. This clay, about half-past twelve o'clock, the prisoner was brought to the station house at Bow-lane on a charge of murder, in the custody of John Dillon, No. 433. The prisoner said to me, " Mr. Woodruffe, you know me very well," (at that time I knew the nature of the charge against the prisoner). said it was a bad job ' • and he replied, " I did it." I asked him in what way ? He said, " I cut her throat with a knife." I asked him whether they had been quarrelling ? He said, " Yes, we had." I asked him where the knife was He said, "I have left it in the kitchen." I then went to the Guildhall Coffee-house, where I found the deceased lying on her back at the bottom of the staircase, near the front entrance. I then went into the kitchen, and the constable (Gellatly)gave me the black-handled knife I produce, which was then quite wet, and covered with blood. I then left the kitchen, and went to the deceased, and from her right hand took a knife (a white-handled blunt knife), which she had firmly grasped. At that time she was dead. The doctor was then present. The prisoner, upon being asked whether he had any question to ask of Mr. Woodruffe, replied, shaking his head, " None." John Dillon: I am a city of London constable (433). About twenty minutes past twelve this day I was called into the Guildhall Coffee-house, and I saw the deceased lying at the bottom of the staircase in the passage. Prisoner, who was standing close by, said, " I have done 't, and I give myself in charge." I then took him to Bow-lane station-house. In going to the station-house asked him the question, how he came to do it ? He .aid, "I was drove to do it." She had been calling me All the rogues she could think of all the morning. I have a wife and four children, and was afraid I should lose my place at night from what she had said." When I got him to the station-house I heard him address the inspector. Ere said " You know me, Mr. Woodruffe ; I have done it." I then returned to the Guildhall Coffee-house, where Gellatly (policeman) was. Thomas Gellatly (city policeman, 137) said, about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock to-day I was called to the Guildhall Coffee-house, and on entering the house I saw the deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs, with her throat cut. I then went into the kitchen with ttozin (the boots) and saw the black-handled knife lying on the table covered with wet blood. Blood had spirted over the table, and there was a track of blood from the table to the place in which the deceased was lying. There were some French beans lying on the table in a heap. There did riot appear to be any confusion in the furniture of the kitchen, or in anything about. I ob served the cook's dress, consisting of two aprons, marked "J. P. 5.," a jacket and a cap, spotted with blood, lying on the table, and I took possession of them I showed them to Inspector Woodruffe when he came in. I gave him the knife, and I took the clothes. Here Ruin (the boots) stated that when he saw the prisoner before the deceased was killed he did not ap pear to be excited. Mr. Coulson, the eminent surgeon, was next ex amined. He said—This day, about a quarter-past twelve o'clock, I was sent for to the Guildhall Coffee house. I went thither without a moment's delay, and upon entering the house I saw, at the foot of the main staircase, a woman lying on her back, with her clothes all covered with blood, and a towel put across her neck to staunch the blood, and in her right hand a dessert knife. She was quite dead. On removing the towel I round a large and deep gash across the throat, beginning from the extreme right, and extending across the neck. The carotid artery and jugular vein were divided, which would have caused almost instantaneous death. It was too deep a gash, I should think, to have been inflicted by the deceased herself. There was a smaller wound under the wound I have described, but that did not divide any important vessel. Two wounds had, it was quite evident, been inflicted. The black-handled knife which had been produced would have caused such wounds. The white-handled knife (that found in the hand of the deceased) I should think would be much less likely to cause them. I applied some brandy and other things, but she was quite dead. Thomas Phillips, waiter at the Guildhall Coffee-house, said—l was in the kitchen about five minutes before the catastrophe occurred. At that time there were in the kitchen the prisoner, a little girl who occasionally as sists, and the deceased, who was sitting on a stool at the table, preparing some vegetables. The deceased was cutting French beans. I was there but about a minute, and I did not hear anything unpleasant between the pri soner and the deceased. The prisoner had some ducks, but I did not observe any knife in his hand, and he had his cook's dress on at the time. I left the kitchen, and the little girl was then in the kitchen with the prisoner and the deceased. The Lonn MAYOR-Did you hear any quarrelling be meen them ? Witness-I did not. The Lout. MAYOR—Have you heard that there ex isted a bad feeling between them ? Witness—l have, but I never saw anything of it myself. About five minutes afterwards I was coming along the passage, and saw the deceased running out of the kitchen, 1 ran up to her, and as she fell I laid her on the mat, and placed my towel on her neck, to staunch the bleeding. About ten minutes afterwards I saw the prisoner §tanding in the passage, and I heard him say to the policeman, " I have done it, and I give myself into your charge," and he was taken away by the policeman. The LORD MAYOR : Did you hear of the cause of any dispute or quarrel between them ?—Witness The deceased told me before the prisoner came this morning, that she had bought a pound of tea for her mother, and she believed that John (meaning the prisoner) had taken it the night before. The LORD MAYOR : Do you remember anything else that she said ? Witness : She told me that she would tax him with it when he came. The LORD MAYOR : Did you hear anything of the kind between them ?—Witness : I did not. The LORD MAYOR : Nor any quarrel between them ? —Witness : I did not. The Loan MAYOR. : Prisoner, have you any questions to put to this witness ?—The prisoner, without raising his head, replied that he had no question at all to ask. Emma Green, barmaid at the Guildhall Coffee-house, said—A little after twelve o'clock, the little girl who assists in the kitchen came to me at the bar directly after Phillips went into the coffee-room, and she stood at the bar waiting for some eggs and milk about three or four minutes. Directly after I gave them to her, she went towards the kitchen, and as she WAS going, she screamed out, and I directly afterwards saw the deceased, Susan Tolloday, rushing towards the passage, bleeding, and lifting up her hands. She merely said, " Oh," and I was so alarmed that I ran back into the bar. I have never heard the deceased and the prisoner quarrelling but once. The Loan MAYOR —Was it this day you heard them quarrelling? Witness—Oh, dear 1 no. Inspector Woodruffe said the little girl who had been spoken of as having been present in the kitchen for some time during the morning had been taken home ill from the coffee-room ; she had fainted, and would not, in all probability, be able to give evidence during the day. The Loan MAYOR. Prisoner, as it will be necessary to know exactly the name a the deceased, and also to hear the evidence of the little girl, who is now unable to attend, I shall not commit you this evening. I shall remand you till Tuesday next, and I advise you, in the meantime, to get legal assistance, for the charge against you, as you must be aware, is one of the most serious nature. The prisoner, who seemed during the examination which was very long, to k now no rem i ss i on o f menta suffering, was then conveyed to the Compter. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. On Saturday night an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, in the Guildhall Coffee-house, before Mr. Payne, the City coroner. One of the witnesses, a young girl, had not been examined at the Mansion House. Her evidenece, as will be seen, was very im portant. The evidnene of ithe other witnesses, with one exception, was the same in substance as that which was given at the Mansion House, and therefore it is unneces sary to repeat it here. Fanny Wettenal, a girl of twelve years of age, ex amined—Resides in Half Moon-alley, Whitecross-street. Came here to help deceased. Was in the kitchen about five minutes before. She saw deceased with her throat cut. She was cutting beans. The prisoner was trussing ducks. They were quarrelling at the time. There was no one in the kitchen but witness. They were quar relling about a Mrs. Riley, who had been here some time before. The prisoner said to Mrs. Riley that she had not paid him the amount of some things she had bought from him, and that he would take them away. She said she had paid for the things. Deceased told the cook he was not acting like a man in talking to the poor woman in that manner, and he would find it out, perhaps, before many months were over his head. He said, " She would, perhaps, before many days were over her head." Witness went for some lard by prisoner's directions, and the lady at the bar told witness to tell him to come for it himself. Prisoner then told witness to go out for some milk and eggs. Had been gone a few minutes, and on her return saw deceased running from the kitchen, bleeding very much from the throat, and she fell at the foot of the stairs. Deceased was sitting down when cutting the beans, and prisoner was standing at the table, about a yard and a half from her. William Rozin—Lives at Mrs. Allmore's, 15, King street, Cheapside. Is 21 years of age. Is boots. Knew the deceased ; she was his cousin. Thinks she was about 22 years of age. Her father is a mason, and lives at Cambridge. Deceased was single. Prisoner had married the deceased's aunt. The CORONER then briefly laid down the law of the case, and the jury at once returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against John Smith." THE POTATO DISEASE.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to eurselves, we secure the 11 e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of onr faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. . ----- The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

All machines and instruments of agriculture, industry, navigation, arts and science, which are not fabricated, or in general use, in the republic, as well as silver and gold coined, or native, are free of duty. Art. 2. The different species of duties on imports are abolished. The goods designated in table No. 1 shall pay 25 per cent. ; and all the rest 20 per cent. only. Art. 3. The duties on exportation of the goods which figure in Table 2 shall be 6 per cent. Art. 4. The ex port cf gold and silver, in coin or native, shall be per mitted on payment of 10 per cent. daty, like all other commodities whatsoever. In case of evasion of the duties, in addition to the value sought surreptitiously to he withdrawn, a fine of 50 per cent, shall be paid. The rates of warehousing, transhipment, &c., are to continue as before. Table 1., referred to above as subject to the 25 per cent. import duty. Silk raw or twisted. Silk and woollen fabrics, or of silk and wool mixed, gauze linen cambrics, damasks, ribbons, lace, &c. Watches and clocks, furniture, mirrors, volantes, and saddlery.

Indigo, black tobacco, rappee, or snuff. Oils, wheat or Indian corn flour, wine, brandy, vinegar, and every kind of liquor manufactured in the country. Sugar, rice, ham, corn in grain, white wax, and honey.—Jan. 2,1846. (Signed) CARLOS AN TIONIO LOPEZ, President. On the same day the President issued another decree to the following purport:—Considering that it is neces sary to prevent evasion of the duties in the navigation of the rivers, and the embarkation and landing of goods by contraband, it is decreed: that vessels, as well na tional as foreign, on ascending the Paraguay shall re ceive a guard on board at the isle of Atajo, who shall remain until arrival at the destined custom-house. The vessels which shall ascend by the Parana will receive a guard at the Paso de la Patna. When arrived at the destined custom-house, the guards will be relieved by others, so that one shall always remain on board until complete discharge of cargo. The goods landed shall be conveyed to the customs' warehouses, but in case of want of room, the custom-house officers are authorised to hire private warehouses for them. When vessels de part and descend the river, they shall carry on board guards to the same points of Atajo and Paso de la Patna. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.— On Wednesday afternoon, one of those melan choly accidents which have been of such frequent occurrence on these works, took place at Fiddler's Gill Viaduct, about four miles from Kendal. It appears that from forty to fifty men were on the viaduct waiting for some material to com mence their work, but nothing had as yet been moved, when an awful crash took place, the timbers supporting the machines with which the viaduct had been constructed giving way, and taking down with them 10 or more of the men, one of whom, Mr. Bainbridge, was nearly crushed to atoms, six were sadly injured, and but faint hopes are entertained of the recove.iy of any of them. The height which the machines fell is 55 feet, but the unfortunate fellow who was killed was at a height of 70 feet from the ground, which he never reached alive, as he was caught amongst the falling timbers, and taken down after wards by his fellow-labourers, dead, and in a dreadfully mutilated state. Expresses were immediately dispatched to Kendal for surgeons, and three—Messrs. Gough, Longmore, and Brumwell—arrived on the spot without the loss of a moment. At that time the lives of three of the men were despaired of, but after great attention and skill from the sur geons some hopes are now held out. The beams which have caused this sad affair have supported two heavy iron ma chines ever since the work commented, and lifted all the immense stones which have been employed in building it ; and as no work was going on at the time the acci dent occurred it surpasses the comprehension of the man ager of the works how it happened ; and at the same time it is considered almost miraculous that 30 or 40 men did not perish; but numbers succeeded in saving themselves by clinging to the broken timber around them. The in• spector and conductor of the works had fortunately just left the place. _ _ . THE DAGENHAM MIIRDER.—On Saturday Dennis Flinn and John Hennessey, two labourers, and a female, named Ellen Rankin, were again examined at the Magis trates Court, at Ilford, on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of George Clark, the police constable, at Dagen - ham, Essex, when they produced witnesses to prove that Flinn was at work for Curtis and Co., builders, at Stratford, at Loughton Church, at the time of the murder, and that Ellen Rankin was lodging with him at Loughton, which is fourteen miles from Dagenham ; and it was positively sworn that they slept together there on the night of the murder. Hennessey also called his father - in - law,. who swore that Hennessey was at work with him, on the 29th of June, at Mortlake, and that he got up at half-past four o'clock on the following morning. It was likewise proved that a pair of white gloves found on the prisoner Rankin, which were sup posed to have belonged to the deceased policeman, had been MEDICAL TESTIMONIALS. given her by a woman, named Margaret Driscol, at Ocking ton, in Kent, to prevent her hands being injured by the thistles while cutting the corn.

TOTAL FAILURE OF THE POTATO CROP IN WARWICKSHIRE. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY.—" The potato crop has failed, totally failed. Three months hence we doubt much if there will be a good potato in England." Such was the startling statement made to us yesterday by a gentleman most ex tensively engaged in the corn trade, and intimately ac quainted with the state of the crops in every part of England. In as far as regarded the condition of his own crop he said, " I have tried them, and found that two out of every three were gone." Such a startling announcement has been confirmed to-day by several of our most extensive potato -growers ; and the high and increasing price of potatoes in our market affords another proof that it is but too well founded. In almost every case the destruction has been rapid and general. We have examined several large fields in the district and found the roots in most cases reduced to a pulpy mass. Previous to the late rains the stems and branches were luxuriant and promising—now they are lying dead on the ground and appear as if they had been killed, not so much from any taint from a poisonous atmo sphere as from the effects of some cankerous disease at the roots. The smell emitted from the fields, in several instances, is most offensive, and sufficient in low-lying marshy grounds to produce a pestilence. This was more particularly observable to-day, when there was strong sunshine and heat, the action of which on the ground, saturated as it has' been with rain, produced a species of fermentation among the diseased roots, and a kind of smoke which rose from the surface like a thick ground mist. The only potatoes in this neighbourhood we have yet seen that have entirely escaped the disease are growing in a field in South Staffordshire, from seed which lay in the ground all winter. The farmer in this case did not lift his last years' crop at all. A good many of the po tatoes were then diseased, and he thought that if he left the whole in the ground, those that might withstand the frost in winter would be free from disease, and grow up in the spring. The field in May was covered with early plants. These he carefully cleaned and hoed up ; they now promise an abundant crop, and should the experiment succeed, it may prove highly useful. Concurrent with the progress of the disease in this quarter has been a growing increase of English cholera amongst the population, not in the town merely, but in the country around. The impression now is, that the bad quality of the potatoes in use occasions English cholera. This is a difficult point, and should be care fully considered. One thing is clear, there has not been so much English cholera in Birmingham for many years as at the present time, BEItKS, HANTS, &c. EXTRACT OF ♦ LETTER, DATED AUGUST 13. Alter leaving Basingstoke I came to a thickly-popu lated village, about two miles and a half from Newbury, named SIIERBOURNE, abounding with poor, where information was given me of a very fatal fever raging in and around there, thirty-four deaths having taken place within the last few weeks, out of a population of less than 500 souls. The disease among the potatoes was observable there much earlier than in other parts of the country, there scarcely being a sound one now to be found. The poor ate them from the first, not knowing the poisonous nature of such food. First the aged and infirm became alarmingly ill, several deaths following each other in quick succession, then healthy women and children sick ened and died, and lastly the men became so ill that many had to leave the harvest field, and are yet suffer ing, till at length one of the faculty unhesitatingly de clared it as his opinion that the eating of diseased po tatoes is the primary cause of the fatal illness there, they (the potatoes) acting on the human frame as a slow poison, which eventually destroys life. Every family around there is strictly requested not to use potatoes, if the least diseased, as food for themselves or families. At PAMBER and TADLEY every garden and plot of ground, high or low, wet or dry, planted with early or late potatoes, has this pestilential disease. At WINCEIFIELD HOUSE (Lord Beauclerk's) the gar dener declares it is with the greatest difficulty he could dig sound potatoes in sufficient quantities to supply even his lordship's table ; and should the disease progress as rapidly during the next fortnight as it has done during the last fourteen days, they will not have a good potato left. At HARTLEY-ROW there are many acres of potatoes planted, and everywhere are to be seen the scorched leaves and black haums ; the stench is intolerable, and nowhere is there to be found a single garden without this fatal malady. At HECKFIELD, in the Right Hon. Shaw Lefevre's garden, both the early and late potatoes are all rotting —in frames and on the natural ground. At STRATHFIELDSAYE, his Grace the Duke of Wel lington's gardens have not escaped the disease, and how to prevent its spreading the gardeners know not ; every scheme, " scientific and chemical," has been resorted to, and yet the infection spreads, and that so quickly as to level to the ground in the short space of twenty-four hours the most green and healthy-looking tops, like a nipping frost destroying, or lightning burning them up. At SWALLOWFIELD, and other hamlets on to Reading, the same melancholy facts were observable. The poor have been requested by the medical gentlemen not to eat the diseased potatoes ; even if but slightly touched they are poisonous, and their opinion is, the prevailing English cholera is mainly attributable to eating them. At WHITE KNIGHTS, near Reading, the principal gardener showed the various hinds of potatoes planted there, both early and late ; all appear to be infected, some to the extent of one-half and others two-thirds are rotten. At CAVERSEIAM (one mile from Reading), the disease is increased, not one garden has escaped. In READING every greengrocer or retailer of vege tables has potatoes standing at his door for sale, but on the slightest inspection they are found to be more than half touched with the disease, though assorted daily, still they cannot keep them free. Proceeding on to NEWBURY, through Greenham and several other villages, the disease, if possible, is still more virulent ; acre after acre planted there is one mass of putrefaction, infecting the air in every direction causing sickness, fever, and death to those breathing the pestilential atmosphere. This being market day at Newbury, the country people had some potatoes for sale, all more or less diseased ; they were willing to sell them at any price—one person offering them at Is. 6d. per sack, rather than have to take them home again. Lady Brougham arrived at Brougham-hall on Tues day last. Her Ladyship had not been in the north for some years. A MONEY -LOVING PIG.—A most curious and laugh able, but at the same time a pitiable circumstance, took place in this city, Armagh, on Saturday last—a poor man had purchased a pig, and while in the act of paying for it, pulled two pound notes and ten shillings, silver, out of the pocket of his inexpressibles; when, le, and behold ! the notes, which were rolled in a lump, fell by accident to the ground; when the pig, who stood at the feet of his buyer, a dent spectator, rushed at the notes, gobbled them up, and swallowed them in an instant, to the horror and consternation of the poor owner, who, of course, looked woe-begone and unutterable things. He lost no time in hieing him to the branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, to ask advice how he should act under the distressing circumstances; but here there might he much sympathy but no help for his misfortune, as he neither knew the number of the notes, nor the bank from whence they had been issued. The poor fellow is greatly to be pitied, as we believe the above sum was the greater portion of his little all. Some advised the killing of poor grunty, and to have a post-mortem search after the notes; while a wag standing by, remarked," faith I don't blame the poor animal for looking for the dearest food he can get, to mortify him self against the loss of his usual supply of good murphys."— L Ulster Gazette. - --- g- - e-e•- __ o • _____--- ‘-7-"' ::•x- 3, : , ~ . ..,•:.. - - • ...-- 19 mir ,„......„ . _ . . . . ~ A. . -..,.. sECOND READING._ • - ,:w.

Because, after the Legislature tury, and the country above half a the African slave -trade as the worst prising almost all others, and as 0 - that ever afflicted the world, we cover ourselves with a dis grace never to be effaced by ad o pti ng a measure whose avowed object is immediately an d largely to increase the mass of sugar grown in the slave -trading countries, and which can only be grown by an immediate and large im portation of Africans. Consequently, the avowed object of the measure is the encouragement of the African slave trade, as much as murder, and not robbery alone, is the avowed object of the felon who destroys his neighbour in order that he may possess his property, by removing him out of his way. 2. Because it is in vain to disguise from ourselves and cover over the guilt of slave trading thus incurred, by pretending that we do not directly offer any premium for its encouragement. We as directly partake of that enormous crime by knowingly and wilfully augmenting the amount of the traffic which lays waste the villages of Africa, and de solates her coaste, as those do whom we brand with the name of felons, and visit with the pains of felony, for only letting to hire the ships employed in the traffic, although they have no more direct participation in the Africanvoyage. 3. Because nothing can be more futile than the defence of our conduct drawn from a reference to the importation which is allowed of cotton and other articles, the growth of slave dealing countries. If that importation be an encouragement of slave trading, it was criminal to permit it, and the fact of our having once been guilty is no excuse for extending and multiplying our offences. But the great bulk of such com merce is notoriously carried on with countries in which slave tradingkhas long ceased to be practised. Moreover, the chief branch of the importation, that of cotton, was established nearly a quarter of a century before we our selves abolished the slave trade ; and there is the greatest possible difference between refusing to give up a trade or a practice of any kind already adopted, and entering for the first time into a novel career of crimes not yet begun to be perpetrated. 4. Because the question now under the consideration of Parliament differs from every other part of the discus sion so long carried on respecting the slave trade and slavery. In all former cases our offence was that we delayed to abolish a criminal system already, and for ages, established ; we only refused to do that which was clearly right. But now we are doing that which is clearly wrong ; and are for the first time beginning, rot continuing, a slave trade. We are actively creating a slave trade which does not now exist, and not passively suffering an existing traffic to go on. PRICE SD. 5. Because it is vain to expect that ether nations will shut their eyes to the garb of hypocrisy in which this conduct of ours clothes all our professions of zeal for the abolition. When we urge them to join in putting down the execrable traffic, they will point to our act encouraging it; and, re quired by us to abandon the gains which they derive from conniving at the traffic, they will marvel at our boldness in expecting such sacrifices from them when we all the while are encouraging it ourselves for the avowed purposes of cheapening a luxury that we relish, and adding a small sum to the mass of our revenue. 6. Because it is altogether preposterous to cite in such a debate the principles of political philosophy, and to call this a sacrifice to the.doctrine of free trade. The highest autho rities have long ago proclaimed that in this measure there are involved no considerations of commercial or financial policy; but, as one of the late Ministers said, " the honour of this country," as another asserted, " the credit and repu tation of this country," and as all impartial men who con sidered the subject have said, the creating or the prevent ing an amount of suffering among peaceful and unoffending nations, so frightful to contemplate, that no calculator of profit and loss can be hard-hearted enough to weigh against it the largest amount of gain, whether commercial or finan cial, which could be conceived to result from our legis lation. 7. Because, finally, the hurrying through Parliament at the very close of a long and laborious session, and in the absence of nearly all its members, a measure of so desperate a character, and which is connected with other measnres seriously affecting our whole colonial policy, as well as the trading interests of the mother country, betokens on the part of its authors an impatience of delay and of full dis cussion, only to be explained by the supposition that the ex traordinary state of parties at the present moment offers them the _only chance of carrying their measures, which would assuredly have been rejected, as they were five years ago, as soon as those parties had resumed their wonted po sition. BROUGHAM. Dissentient,— . . Because, beside all the other reasons of justice, humanity and sound policy, which prohibit a measure so directly, so inevitably tending to the encouragement of the slave trade it is wholly intolerable, as it is altogether unprecedented, to hurry through Parliament, at the very close of the session, and after almost all its members have left town, such im portant measures, without the possibility of full discussion, and without giving the mother country, or the colonies, any notice of them—measures which at one blow alter the whole commercial system of the country, and affect in the most serious manner, and to the greatest extent, the manufac turing and trading community of the empire.

The fearful accident which occurred some months ago in Haswell Colliery, in the county of Durham, cannot be for gotten. The following statement, extracted from a letter written by Mr. J. Scott, of the Haswell Colliery-office, ex plains the origin of some of those casualties which are con tinually occurring in the mining districts, and which involve the destruction of so many human beings. " A few days ago," writes Mr. Scott, " while a boy was brushing with hay the tram plates in one of those districts of the pit called the broken or pillar working, a lucifer match, which had by some means got amongst the hay, struck fire, and in an in stant all was in a blaze. Fortunately the fire was speedily got under, or the consequences must have been tremendous. There were at this time, in this district of the pit, great numbers of men and lads working with the Davy lamps, and had not the air of the pit been singularly pure, the fate of these poor fellows might have been but the repitition of a too oft told tale. Being in the pit at the time of the occurrence, I instituted every inquiry, and on the following day it was renewed by Mr. Forster, but we got no trace of the defaulter." Such an occurrence goes far to prove that, however well ar ranged and scientific the plans for ventilation may be, so long as the recklessness of the miner continues accidents will occur. _ _ DEATH FROM BURNING.—On Friday afternoon Mr. W. Baker, jun., held an inquest at the London Hospital on the body of Mary Anne Rotheram, aged eight years, the daughter of a labouring man residing in Split's-terrace, St. George's-in-the-East. t appeared in evidence that on the 11th of March last the deceased was standing on the fender in the kitchen, reaching for a candlestick, when her clothes caught fire. The names rapidly spread, and she was soon in:one mass of fire. Her screams brought the assistance of liar mother and sister, who with great difficulty extinguished the'flames. She was admitted in the above hospital on the same day, where she lingered until Thursday morning, when she expired. Verdict, " Accidental death."
