Our title, " The People's Journal " (and we use the word " peo- Ae " in its widest sense), should he our only prospectus, did we not know how often titles are valued by those who use them, as the angler uses the, painted fish—raerely to catch. Let us, then, show how we prowse to make 'our publication a complete practical development of all that ts implied in its name. We propose to deal in; an earnest and 'ottsiness-like manner with the claims of industry- One of the profoundest thinkers of the present day has announced, as with a prophetic voice, " All human interests, com bined ho.nian endeavours, and social growths, in this world, have at certain, stages of their development required organising, and work. the grandest of human interests, does now require it." Rut how Is this to be attempted? The same lips have told us:—" The organisatiou of labour must be taken out of the hands of absurd, windy persons, and put into the hands of wise, laborious, mo dest, and valiant men; to begin wil% it straightway; to proceed with it and succeed in it more and more ; if Europe —at any rate if England—is to continue habitable much long er." Taking this lesson deeply to heart, may we not all do something ? The People's Journal will at least tto this, open freely its pages to those who, in the spirit of Ti' homas arlyle, will seek to aid in the solutio n of the mightiest of eal problems—How shall we emancipate labour ? We also pro ime to make the People's Journal a zealous, and — if it may be --Jcient helpmate to-the working man, by affording him full and r a taeiy information of what philanthropists and philanthropical, societies —whether of his own, or of any other class, are doing in hj e behalf; by interesting itself in his home—and in the all-i mPortar.t subjects Involved in that word, as—suitable buildings —domestic, mnaßement--care of health—household education — the garden an the field allotment; by describing to him the new book thlnt We think he would like to read, or the new play, or new actor. Or new exhibition, that he would probably like to see ; by givin him. through the engravings, and the accompanying letter lett-ea.-press of our People's Portrait Gallery, an almost personal with our great and good men and women, especially those otour own time ; and, lastly, by endeavouring to promote the true business of his life, namely, the development of all the capacities of our common nature, by a right use of the potent influences given to us for that end. Thus, it Is not sufficient for man to know how to support life by industry, and by the assistance of the useful arts ; or, how to guide life by the religious, moral, and social laws ; he wants also, to vivify, to elevate, and to spiritualise life—to make it, in a word, happy in the truest sense of happiness, by the constant study and enjoyment of scienc,, art, music, poetry, literature, with all their varying and. endless ramifications. We have spoken of our proposed endearaurs in connexion with the " working man," because be most needs vmpathy, aid, and above all, just appreciation ; but are his tem:poral and spiritual interests really different from these of anybod y else ? Are we not, or ought we not all to be working men? OA there ba a true People's Journal that is not, at the same t i me , essentially a journal for all ? There remains one important omaideration. Those who would assist the masses, must first take Cara to learn thoreughly their condition. How is this to be done ? We offer, in answer— " The Annals of Industry"—where we propose, first, to allow the disciples of industry to state their own wants and wishes in their own words. Next, we propose to furnish them, in this department, with regular information on all the subjects that most deeply inte rest them in a business point of view ; such as the history and pre 'tent state of their trades or occupations, including notices of new Inventions, and local customs of peculiar interest; law, in its more direct bearings upon the interests of labour ; wages, their rise or fall, and present as contrasted with former rates ; employment, whether deficient or ateple, healthy or unhealthy, its hours of daily labour, and the movements making to lessen their number—move ments that will obtain the, zealous co-operation of " The People's Journal ;" employers distinguished for their attention to the com forts, and feelings, and Poterests of their workpeople ; sanatory con dition of towns and dw e llings ; the arts and sciences, as applicable to trade and mannfacenre —experimente in social progress, &c. The annals are open alike to employer and employed, and are written in a spirit of calmness and perfect impartiality towards both, from ori ginal materials, rnpplied, on the part of the employed, by trades' eecretaries and others in all parts of the country. Illustratiowl.—lt is only necessary to say that quality rather than quantity—rvermanent rather than temporary interest—will here be studied `And that whilst the subjects will be all systematically chosen, Vaere will be attached to each such information upon its origin as may be necessary to enable readers to judge for themselves of its value.

In addition to the other attractions of the Gardens, will be exhi bited CALYPSO'S FAIRY GROTTO, approached by the Illumi nated Gothic Bridge, representing in the Interior Telemachus relating his adventures to Calypso.

A tions of Ireland—) altogether incapa extraordinary aci endue the law w. times this salutar subjection for the dim merged itself statutory dictatorship was at that period necessary to Ireland : we then maintained the existence of that necessity ourselves—so also did the Noble Lord the Member for the city of London, and a number of other representatives who have subse quently recorded their votes in opposition to the Coercion Bill. We conceive, indeed, that what was im peratively demanded at the commencement of this session is not called for at the present moment ; and this because the virus of Irish criminality has ex hausted itself during the protracted and pernicious wrangling of the Protectionist orators. Had the Coercion Bill been carried into operation immediately after the assembling of Parliament, we are satisfied that the lives of many unfortunate victims to agrarian outrages would have been preserved, and that a consi derable moral benefit would have been con ferred upon the Irish multitude generally. It would have awed the rioters into instant sub mission—it would have warned them by an awful retribution from any future revival of their villanies, and it would likewise have impressed the more harmless inhabitants with the conviction, that if the Government was ready to wreak its vengeance upon those citizens who were not amenable to the Constitution, it was ready also to protect the help less and to foster the loyal. Now, however any such interference with the domestic habits of the people appears to us wholly in the light of an irksome super fluity of justice ; it is the old story, " shutting the stable-door when the steed is stolen !" Still the Mi nistry have thought otherwise, and we believe them honest in so thinking, cordially we believe so. A mighty responsibility hangs over them individually and collectively ; the lives of mil lions are entrusted to their protection ; many of those lives have been taken through the inadequacy of the ordinary law to chastise the aggressors. Can we then entertain feelings of astonishment if a sense of that responsibility seems to preponderate over all other considerations ? It is from the anta gonism of such views that the downfal of the Premier has originated. Ireland was his great difficulty at the very outset, it has continued to be his great difficulty at the termination. Impeding the velocity of the ascent, it has tended to expedite the catastrophe ; but that catastrophe, if such indeed it can be designated, is one effulgent with an enduring glory. Hardly has the discomfiture of the anti-Minis terial majority arrived when the Ministerial victory is announced. The Coercion Bill is lost, but free trade is achieved ! And the statesman who has been chiefly instrumental in the advancement of both is subdued only in the very moment when he has com pleted his conquest. Monopoly is vanquished if PEEL has yielded to circumstances ; and in the exultation of this unparalleled achievement, public gratitude will not forget the great statesman to whom its acquisition is principally owing. Posterity will often recur to this epoch ; it will cherish the memory of the SOVEREIGN under whose auspices the peaceful victory has been obtained ; it will honour that Great Army of Intellect, the League, with its 1 unarmed Cromwell, COBDEN ; and its full and en during gratitude will be lavished upon that illustrious man, who, amidst the revilings of spleen and the taunts of revenge, has for ever associated his genius with one of the noblest boons ever accorded to the British nation. It will be remembered in future times, that while Sir WALTER RALEIGH, as early as the six teenth century, advocated the free importation of pro visions, it was not until the advent of Sir ROBERT PEEL that the creations of OMNIPOTENCE were laid open to appease the wants of the hungry, and the productions of man to clothe the naked, untaxed, untramelled, unrestricted—as was originally intended by the designs of GOD and the dictates of reason. Let us then, men of England ! repeat the earnest language uttered on Thursday night by COBDEN let us tender to Sir ROBERT PEEL " our heartfelt thanks for the un wearied perseverance, the unswerving firmness, and the great ability with which he has, during the last six months, conducted one of the most magnificent reforms ever carried in any country through this House of Commons I" Those are cheering and glorious words they tell us that what the people of England have been struggling for so long, and through such a variety of tribulations and disappointments, is at length obtained. It tells us that that eloquent champion of patriotism, RICHARD COBDEN, has spoken his last free-trade speech ; it re minds us that Sir ROBERT PEEL has lapsed from the vigour of administration ; but it reminds us also that his conduct, his zeal, his forbearance, his assiduity, and his daring since November last, have entitled him to the popularity and the grateful affection of his coun trymen, while they have imprinted his name in the Whahalla of the World as one of the noblest bene factors Great Britain ever possessed. We cannot resist calling the attention of our readers to i the following sentence, uttered many years ago by Dr. CHALMERS. It is at once indica tive of the hopelessness of ever achieving what has been this day achieved, while it is a sketch of the consequences which were deemed by that eminent thinker as most certain to result from such a measure. The disappointed minority of would-be monopolists insist that free trade in grain will ensure a national bankruptcy to the agriculturists. Thus, on the other hand, speaks an astute and philosophical reasoner : " For the sake of its moral benefit we know of no achievement more urgently desirable than that of a free corn trade. There is not a more fertile topic of clamour and burning discontent all over the land ; and were it but effectually set at rest, we are aware of nothing which might serve more to sweeten the breath of British society." Accounts from Rome of the 17th have been received. On that day all the grand dignitaries, the diplomatic agents of all the powers, and the persons desirous of re ceiving the benediction of the new POPE, presented them selves at the doors of the apartment in which he was to give his first audience. As soon as the doors were opened the most eager rushed to the feet of the POPE to receive his blessing, but his Holiness stopped them with a motion of the hand, and asked for the Ambassador of France. It was only after M. DE Rossi had been re ceived by the POPE, that other persons were permitted 1:0 T . ; h s e iN f a a t sh e t t e h i Fe s r t fe h anv a c t ohu C rA a i t r me d b i e n aa a sn l sda M i to approach him. eFFEO France, a nt h E c ee T a , a n on s o dt w a Pius Count d d r t s e s : o o i n f d . e diplomatists o f the day), was all-powerful in the elec- Cardinals p rev i ous to the several of they most influential meeting of the C onc l ave : " France is too powerful to have n veto, and therefore she renounces it. t ed s t he o exercise me ise her to request you to take into consideration that e a that shall not respond to the wants of the country -c w h o o n ic l e d and b Produce a dangerous internal agitation, • ring the Austrians to the north and the French to the south." It is reported that the new POPE has appointed Cardinal GizY Under-Secretary of State. This Cardinal is a firm supporter of the French interest, which may now be considere d as all-powerful in the P ontifical Court. That the choice of the Conclave meets with the approval of the French Government may be gathered from the following article, which appeared in the Journal des Debats. "Pius IX. is of a mild and conciliating, though firm cha • ratter. He is said to be determined to occupy his mind im mediately with those ameliorations in the Government o f his states which were so earnestly demanded of his prede cessor. It is beyond all doubt th at the agitation which was beginning to be manifested in the Ronian States, and the condition of the Church in Spain and Portugal, have . had great influence on the prompt election made by . the cardinals, cud the spirit of Wisdomlnd concord with hityo been inspired on this solemn occasion cannot be too highly estimated." It is said that one of the first acts of Pius IX. will be to proclaim a general amnesty—a wise and merciful act, which foretels a happy, peaceful, and enlightened reign. , ed the Paris papers of Wednesday. the Consiitutionnel there is to be a .en Peers created on the 6th of July. The following are mentioned as the new Members of the Chamber of the Luxembourg .—MM. BARBET, Boissr D'ANGLAS, CADEAU D'ACY, CORNUDET, DoZoN, JAC QUEMINOT, LAFON, LAS-CAZES, 3. LEFEBVRE, A. PERIER, REYNARD, SAPEY, and VIGIER. Deputies —An ex-Prefect, M. LANGLOIS - D ' AMILLY ; and two Mayors, M. DUFOUR-DUBERGEIR, of Bordeaux, and M. Bic°, of Lisle. The increased grant for the navy was voted in the Chamber of Peers on Tuesday, by a majority of 122 to 2. In the course of the discussion, the Minister of Marine stated, that henceforth, on board every ship in commission, it was the intention of the Government to appoint one midshipman for every ten men. The Courrier du Havre says— " Accounts from Newfoundland to the 14th ult., received at Dieppe, announce that a great number of French vessels were collected on the bank. Some merchants of St. Pierre had sent two small vessels to the English coast to purchase herrings at a fixed rate of duty. The vessels were captured by a sloop of war employed in watching the coast, as the exportation of herrings is permitted only to English vessels. This fact was brought to the knowledge of the Chamber of Commerce of Dieppe, which will call the attention of the Minister of Foreign Affairs to this act of rigour on the part of the English cruiser." Accounts from Martinique, of the 17th of May, repre sent the Colonial Council of the island as being in a most agitated and disturbed state, in consequence of the law of July 1845, for ameliorating the condi tion of the unfortunate slave population of the island. The Council vehemently protest againt the law, which they denounce as being neither more nor less than disguised emancipation. The Duke and Duchess DE NEMCURS, with their children, passed through Angouleme on Saturday. They slept on Friday night at Ruffec, where they were com pelled to stop on account of an accident to one of the wheels of their carriage.

There are accounts a few days later from South Australia and Port Philip, viz., to February 11th and 26th respectively, but they communicate nothing of interest. The majority against the second reading of the Irish Coercion Bill has been the general theme of conversation to day, and Sir Robert Peel's resignation is looked upon as a fait acoompli. The following is an interesting statement relative to the trade of Brazil, brought to hand by the Crane packet : Monthly return of Exports and Imports, Custom-house Revenue, &c., at Rio de Janeiro, for April last, compared with that of the corresponding month last year. Exports in 1846. 1845. Coffee, bags 72,022 '88,584 Sugar, chests Hides - 29,654 Custom-house receipts:— From imports 643,365 667,737 From exports 114,151 122,189 Total The trifling falling off is accounted for by the supply of coffee having been rather short, and not equal to the de mand, consequently prices have ruled high, and as the duty is payable ad valorem on a tariff, ascertained weekly, the revenue has not suffered proportionably. At the latter end of the month the arrivals of coffee from the interior were more considerable. The Exchange continued steady at 26 1 , and the Six per Cent. Funds at 76%. The imports had been very considerable, without a corre sponding demand for consumption. Sales were, therefore, difficult to effect. There are no returns published of the value of the articles imported, but some correct idea may be formed thereof by the following statement, viz.:— Ships arrived in April, 1844 and 1845.

He therefore proposes to issue a Series of Works which may be justly ranked among the best Eng. lish Classics, in a size and form that will entitle them to a place in the most luxurious library, and at a price that will place them within the reach of persons of moderate income. Such a series must be peculiarly desirable to the numerous reading societies now established in the country; they want books not merely for occasional reference, but for constant perusal. To them cheapness obtained by increasing the difficulties of reading, by microscopic types, and crammed pages, affords no adequate advantage. The publisher of the proposed series is therefore the first to open to book clubs the advantages which cheap editions have given to other classes of tiur chasi.s, by preserving all the features of publication which their expe rience has proved to be necessary, and at the same time enabling them to economise their expenditure. This collection will include HISTORY, BIOGRAPHY, VOYAGES AND TRAVELS, THE LETTERS OF EMINENT MEN, and, among others, the unrivalled CORRESPONDENCE of HORACE WALPOLE, illustrated with beautiful Engravings by the most eminent artists. The following works, which are the exclusive property of the pub lisher, will appear early in the series : WALPOLE'S LETTERS, in 6 monthly volumes, or 12 parts. HON. C. A.

AQUATICS. HENLEY REGATTA.—Ftavr DAY. This great aquatic event, appointed for Thursday, and continued yesterday, was inferior to none that have pre ceded it in either the interest it created, the number and excellence of the entries, or value of the prizes offered for competition. Amongst those present were, the Earl of Fal mouth, Lord Anson, Lord Camoys and family, with others of distinction. The races commenced at three o'clock, with the Contests for the Silver Wherries—A four-pair oar race. First Heat. London—T. H. Fellowes, Leander Club Oxford—E. Fellowes, Exeter College Oxford—J. W. Conant, St. John's 2 Oxford—W. C. Stapylton, Merton Oxford—F. Boyds, Brasenose Oxford—W. Polehampton, Pembroke Conant and Stapylton had been the favourites. It was throughout a capital race. Conant and Stapylton took the lead, all being at a very dashing pace, Royds and partner being second. Off Kemenham Lodge the winners rowed by the second boat, and challeaged, when they made the shoot to the straight water. The then leading pair went in ad vance and won by two lengths. The third boat was about the same distance astern. Second Heat. Oxford—W. H. Milman, Christ Church . Oxford—M. Haggard, ditto Cambridge—E. P. Woolstenholme, Trinity Cambridge— S. Vincent Oxford—E.

It was subse quently decided that as Tonks and partner had fouled Wool stenholme and Vincent twice, that the latter pair should row the heat again with Milman and Haggard. Milman Haggard Woolstenholme Vincent It was an excellent race, Milman and Haggard leading, but being waited upon during the whole distance closely by their opponents. Off the poplars on nearing the straight course, the second pair made a very determined and rapid spurt, but as it was met by a corresponding effort on the part of their opponents, they were unable to go by them. Won by half a length only. Third Heat. Cambridge—F. George, Trinity ••• } 1 Cambridge—W. Maule, Trinity • Oxford—F. M. Wilson, Christ Church 2 Oxford—W. U.

Dated the 25th day of June, 1841 SKYE.—PRESENTATION.—Captain Macdonald, late of the 42d Royal Highlanders, has been for many years back taeksman of Ostaig, in the parish of Sleet, Isle of Skye, where he has been de servedly beloved and esteemed, not only by the parishioners of Bleat, but by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. He has been lately appointed Barrackmaster of Paisley and Dumbarton, and no thing could exceed the heartfelt sorrow of the Sleet people for being deprived of a gentleman characterised by every principle which tended to endear him to the natives of the place. The blank caused in Sleat by the departure of this worthy gentleman, and his very amiable and interesting lady, will be sorely felt while the present ge neration exists. Not to speak of their genuine Highland hos pitality, nor of their friendly reception to all who came their way, their united efforts to attend to the interests of tu the poor, and to afford comfort and relief to the distressed aro d_ them, will be gratefully remembered in Sleet for ages tionTuniee.h they thing could more clearly illustrate the high estimation in „cox at the were held than the extreme prices obtained c f n o t r ie t m li c i i of skye, and late public sale at Ostaig, where all the a t.

' 7 lz - ? 1111,ritiitst LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 1846. On Thursday, the 22d of January, Sir R. PEEL, in his place in Parliament, as a representative of the people and Minister of the country—with his own past protestations full in his memory, and the open and violent hostility of friends and foes before him— dared to confute the one and to confront the other, and, boldly speaking of the people's wants, boldly propose the measures they required. That speech was received with heartfelt joy by the many, with bitter and acrimonious indig nation by the few. It was stamped by the fiat of popular approval, and history transmits it to the applause of posterity. On Thursday, the 25th of June, after a five months' unequal and ineffectual opposition, those glorious measures received the last award of the Legislature—they are now the law of the land! The "Je le eeui" of the SOVEREIGN has ratified the will of the people—monopoly is no more ; and the spirit of faction weeps over the dearest of her children. Faction weeps, while free trade triumphs—while the mighty multitude hail the mighty measure; and they hail it not alone for itself, but for the great things which shall follow in its train. The corn laws are abolished—and something more than the corn-laws ; free trade is triumphant, and something more than free trade. We have now seen the down fal of class-legislation, of party prejudice and fac tious despotism ; a nobler, a higher system of legislation is at hand—and the people know this, and shall they not triumph? The mind of the mul titude is in this unanimous, and while they rejoice, and while they feel that to themselves is the glorious achievement virtually due, yet they forget not those through whose immediate agency their long struggles and enduring hopes have been crowned with the ulti matum of success. Theythank the SOVEREIGN, who from the throne spoke of their long-desired measures ; they thank the Parliament, by whom their interests have been truly represented; they thank the Peers for their cordial concurrence with their de sires ; but, above all, as was declared last night by their chief spokesman, they thank the Premier for his patriotism, his perseverance, his self-sacrifice. And sincerely as Mr. COBDEN, sincerely as any, do we also tender our earnest thanks and congratulations to Sir ROBERT PEEL. We thank him for the benefit he has conferred upon the country, we congratulate him on the glory he has acquired for himself. He has triumphed even though he has fallen. Though now compelled to relin quish his position, it has not been held in vain. For five months he has held office as a free-trade and as a popular Minister, and that brief and eventful period has set the seal to his title- deeds to fame. Whether he again resume his official —,. post, or whether he remains only a representative of the people, time only can declare ; but no tune can rob him of the popularity he has acquired as the Minister who dared to sacrifice all things—position, place, and party—for the interests of his country. The vindictive and acrimonious attacks with which he has recently been assailed are tacit confessions of the efficacy of his reforms, by proving their hostility to the egotist spirit of faction. As the head of the strong Conservative party, Sir ROBERT once held an apparently high position : by oppos ing its prejudices, undermining its iniquitous strongholds, dividing its elements, and finally by bringing against it the power of the people that party he has destroyed! Without supporters and without adherents, the once great chief is almost alone—he is in a minority, but is he less truly great? Can any of his real friends regret his recent conduct, his recent sacrifice ?—will they not rather ibrft with the people in proclaiming— " Iris greatest glory was that hour k-W self-upheld, abandoned power?' The majority of Seventy against against the Minis preseeinotnGßill, n h mh a ie s n e t! ns l u i m e - - immediately an tecedent to t he dawning of that day ma ted the destiny of the mo rable hencefort h in our Parli arnen v to er r be the ?6th of June, 1846, memorable, al' prophecy of Sir ROBERT PEEL was fulfilled to the very letter—the day on which his great political difficulty was proved in literal veracity to be Ireland. A strenuous effort to meet the exigencies of that problematic island constituted the last act of his Ad m inistration. It would be infinitely ridiculou s to im p ute to the Prime Minister any but the most disinterested motives in propounding a policy so generally obnoxious through out the sister country ; it would be ridiculous, because by so doing no additional emolu ment and no superfluent celebrity could in any manner accrue to himself; because such a proceeding would, moreover, only facilitate the pettish recrimination of his personal adversaries, while it afforded them a sort of neutral leverage for the subversion of his Cabinet ; because, in fine, so many more agreeable questions might have been selected as the cause for his retirement, had a seces sion from office been the coveted aoquisition. Nevertheless, while we accord to the Ministry the credit of disinterestedness, we must acknowledge ourselves incapable of discovering the particular exigency which in the present month should demand an interference so authoritative with the social go verunient of Ireland as the Coercion Bill, When LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 25 Ceylon, U--Demerara,2 l A,—Dendre Valley, % —Dutch Rhenish, 7% —Louvain and Jemappe, % —Luxembourg, I%—Madrid and Va• lentia, 1% —Namur and Liege, 3—Northern of France Constituted, 13%—Paris and Lyons Constituted, 53/a —Paris and Rouen, 38 3 / Paris and Strasbourg Constituted, 4U —Rouen and Havre, 28% West Flanders, 3%. We have seen a manifesto published by Don Antonio de Haro y Tamarix, Minister of Finance to the Presi dent Santa Anna, who at present is residing in this me tropolis. In this he attacks with much violence the project of establishing a monarchy in Mexico. The reasons which he adduces are of sufficient weight to neutralise those which have been offered in favour of the scheme, through the medium of various continental journals. Don Haro has treated the question in such a lucid manner as to leave no doubt that the project is completely visionary, and that, even in the event of its being realised, it would be without permanent duration. He shows that at whatever time the plan of monarchy might be brought forward, it would cause much blood shed, but that it would at no time be so impolitic as at present, when the United States would take the advan tage of the political divisions caused by the movement to pursue their scheme of usurpation. The style of the manifesto is forcible; and full of that fire which distin guishes an uncompromising Republican, and although it seems to have been published chiefly for the purpose of explaining the conduct of its author during the progress of recent events, he has availed himself of the opportunity to attack triumphantly all those Europeans who have tried to revive the treaty of Ygualo, which, as is well known, fell still-born. Don Haro, who belongs to the first noble families in Mexico, and who has consistently adhered to his republican sentiments, being unwilling to join in the plan fur establishinga monarchy, is now a voluntary exile from his country. Some of his friends have accompanied him to Europe, and if any opinion may be formed on the matter, we may presume that Don Haro being such a thorough republican, would not be so intimate with Santa Anna, did not the ex-president, and some of the other Mexican nobl e now in Europe, entertain similar sentiments. If Don Haro does not gain his object by the publication of his manifesto, he will at least enjoy the satisfaction of having attacked his political adversaries, and of having shown that his conduct has been regulated by a sincere love for his country, inasmuch as he has preferred a pri vate loss to the ruin of Mexico. KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—This excellent institu tion has in the last six years afforded relief to the sick poor inhabiting the densely-populated neighbourhoods of Lincoln's Inn•fields and Clare-market. The number of beds in the present building, which was not designed for a hospital, is only 120, so that the in-patients must be limited to that number. The number of out-patients has increased from 4,056, the number relieved in 1840, the year in which the hospital was opened, to 15,935, the num ber relieved in 1845; and there is every reason to believe that a similar increase would have taken place in the number of in-patients but for the inadequate accommodation provided. An attempt will be made this afternoon, to increase the efficiency of this excellent institution by enabling it to afford to the poor more ample means of medical and surgical relief. A meeting is to be held, at three King's o'clock, in the new hall of College, in aid of a fund for enlarging King's College Hospital, so as to extend its usefulness. Over this meeting the Archbishop of Canterbury has consented to preside. The Duke of Cam bridge will, it is understood, be present, and the meet ing will be addressed by the Bishops of London K t n h ig e -Chancellor ht Vi ß ee ruce, Arch distinguished persons. With such advocacy there can b e no doubt but that the good oa d fn e a d c England,onO Oxford, f Manning,od , t the Vice-Chancellor Lord and Ashley, othe r work will prosper. PORTUGAL. Our Lisbon intelligence up to the 20th inst. gives a very unfavourable view of the state of things in Portugal. It would appear that the Palmella Ministry was tottering—the Cabralist party in complete possession of the Court—and the King's German Councillor standing between the nation and the fulfilment of the royal promises lately held out to the people. It is difficult, however, to conceive why the Go vernment in the critical circumstances in which it was placed, between two anarchies, a military and a popular state of turbulence and exasperation, should not have showed more energy, and by its buldness, as well as discretion, have saved the Court from its own folly and fatuity. The Prince who bears the title of King should have been reminded by the Ministers of the Sovereign that any inter ference of his in the affairs of government, and still more on the part of any foreign servant of his in Portugal, was not only indecorous, but prejudicial to the Queen's interests. The people—exasperated by the apparently protected con spiracies of the dismissed Cabralist officers and civil servants of the same party still retained in all the influential places under Government, and by the conduct of the persons im mediately about the King, by continual military emeutes in favour of the ex-Ministers, and attempts at counter-revolu tion in the provinces on the part of the military—were again, it was feared, on the eve of another and more formidable out break than the former. The Financial Committee had not terminated its labours, but the principal objects said to have been had in view by by it were reductions to the extent of upwards of 2,000 contos in the public expenditure, reduction in the interest of the debt, foreign and domestic, either to the extent of a third of the interest or of making the Five per Cents. Four and the Four per Cents. Three. One member only was said to be opposed to this reduction in toto. Reductions were also talhectof in the war expenditure and the courts civil. The Bank had a meeting of its shareholders. The pros pects of public credit were not encouraging. Senor Gonzales Bravo had been setting diplomatists an ex ample in the way of bringing editors of papers hoitile to them to their bearings, by calling on them to retract, or fight by proxy.—Chronicle. THE LATE AFFAIR IN NEW ZEALAND.—Dispechea were received en Thursday by Government from Capt. Graham, of the Castor, 39, at New Zealand, confirming the accounts of the late action with the hostile natives, in which seven of our seamen and marines were killed and eighteen wounded, among the latter, Mr. affair is spoken of as one of great gallantry and perseverance. Three hundred seamen and marines co-operated with the force of infantry, and under al most insurmountable difficulties of locality dragged the guns four teen miles from ,the ships into position. Commander Hay, of the Racehorse, 18, dashingly led the storming party. A FIELD ON FIRE.—A circumstance which rarely happens in this country, although of frequent occurrence in the prairies of America, tock place in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield, on Wednesday last. A field of wheat, near the Needle Works, Brampton Moor, belonging to Mr. Evinson, Angel Inn, Chesterfield, was discovered to be on fire. now the fire originated cannot be known, although it is probable that the excessive heat of the sun ignited the soli which borders the wheat field. On turning up the soil with a spade, jets of flame burst from the ground to the height of five feet. A supply of water was obtained, ard, after much difficulty, the fire was extinguished, without much damage being sustained,—Derby Mercury. SUGAR.—By a return on Thursday printed, it appears that the quantity of sugar imported in the year ending the sth of April last was 6,025,771 cwt., of which 5,052,506 was entered for home conseunption, and the net receipt of duty on sugar unrefined in the year was 3,480,1581. The duty on sugar unrefined of British possessions, &c., at 14s. the cwt., yielded 3,460,6071., within the limits of the East India Company's Charter, into which the importa tion of foreign sugar is prohibited. The difference in the amount of duty is made up of the rates chargeable on sugar of British posses sions into which the importation of foreign sugar is not prohibited, and of duty on foreign sugar, some of which was at the rate of 31. 3s. The lowest duty in the return is 145., and the-highest 31. 3s APPROACHING MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—A mar riage is determined on between Viscount Seaham, eldest son of the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, and 3113 s Edwards, only daughter and heiress of Sir John Edwards, Bart., of Machynllech, Montgomeryshire.

CITY OF LONDON LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY. Upwards of one hundred of the members and friends of this Society. sat down to an excellent dinner at the Brunswick Hotel, Blackwall.

He had been called to t he chair quite Lord unex pectedly, in consequence of the Ri g ht Hon. the Mayor timing to attend a special su mmons of tile Com missioners of Woods and Forests. Mr. SPARLING proposed the health of the Directors of the City of London L ife Assurance Society. To them was mainly attributable the present success of their Society, and the position which it then held among other societies of a similar nature. Mr. SIMPSON, on e of the directors, returned thanks. Several other mino r toasts were proposed, a f ter which the meeting broke up. It is but fair t o state that the dinner was set ved up in mos t excellent style, and several son g s, which well) sung, in the cours e of the evening by Messrs. Hobbs and H a wkins, were most ent husiasticall y cheered by :he company present.• • LORD STANLE PROTEST AGAINST THE CORN BILL. Dissentient 1. Because the Repeal of the Corn Laws will greatly increase the dependence of this country upon foreign po ve se c ountries for its supply of food; and will thereby ex it to dangers against whic h former statesmen ha thought it essential to take legislative precautions. 2. Because there is no secu rit y , nor probability, that other nations will take similar steps•, and this country will, therefore, not only be exp osed to the Tisks of failure of supply consequent on a st ate of war, bu! will also be exclusively subject to an unlimited influx o f corn in times of abundance, and to sudden checks when ever short crops shall reduce the ordinary supply from the exporting countries, or their Governments shall deem it „necessary to take precatitionity.measures for their own protection; thus causing rapid -hnd disaStrous fluctuations of price in the markets of this country. 3. Because under a system of protection the agricul ture of this country has more than kept pace with the increasing demand of its increasing population ; and because it is to be apprehended that the removal of pro tection may throw some lands out of cultivation, arol check on others the progress of improvement, which has led to this satisfactory result. 4. Because it is unjust to withdraw protection from the landed interest of this country, while that interest remains subject to exclusive burdens , imposed fo pu p ses of general, and not special, advantage. 5. Because the loss to be sustained by the repeallhof the corn-laws will fall most heavily on t h e least W ea Y portion of the landed proprietors ; will press I °l* , mediately and severely on the tenant-farmers ; through them, with ruinous cons e qu ences on the agri cultural labourers. 6. Because, indirectly, but not le ss certainly, injurioug consequences w result to the manufacturing interest, and especially to the artisans and mechanics, from COm- of petition with the agricultural labourers thro wn out employment ; but print pally from the loss of the home n market, caused by the inability of the produ cers of grai and those dependent on them to consume manufactured goods to the same extent as heretofore. 7. Because the same cause will produce similar evil results to the tradesmen, retail dealers, and others in country towns, not themselves engaged in agricultural pursuits, but mainly dependent for their subsistence on their dealings with those who are so engaged. 8. Because the effect of a repeal of the corn-laws will be especially injurious to Ireland, by lowering the value of her principal exports, and by still further reducing the demand for labour, the want of which is among the iTinc'pal evils of her social condition. 9. Because a free trade in corn will cause a large and unnecessary diminution of annual income, thus impair-. ing the revenue of the country, at the same time that it cripples the resources of those classes on whom the weight of local taxation now mainly falls. 10. Because a general reduction of prices conaequent on a reduction of the price of corn will tend unduly W raise the moneyed interest at the expense of all others , and to aggravate the pressure of the national burdens. 11. Because the removal of differential duties ill favour of Canadian corn is at variance with the legislative encouragement held out to that colony by Parliament, on the faith of which the colonists have laid out large sums upon the improve ment of their internal navigation ; and because the removal of protection will divert the traffic of the inte rior from the St. Lawrence and the British ports of Montreal and Quebec, to the foreign port of New York; thus throwing out of employment a larcre amount of British shipping, severing the commercial interests of Canada from those of the parent country, and connect ing those interests most intimately with the United States of America. 12. Because the adoption of a similar system, with regard to other articles of commerce, will tend to sever the strongest bond of union between this country and her colonies ; will deprive the British merchant of that which is now his most certain market, and sap the fowl. dation of that colonial system, to which, commercially and politically, this country owes mu ch of its present greatness. .-...--...-..-------....—...-- IMPORTATION OF LEMONS.

L Mill, held an inquest at the Black Lion, Church Street, Chelsea, on the body of Mr. Edward Mott, aged fifty-seven years, a gentleman of property, who destroyed himself by nearly severing his head from his body. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who wag a widower, was during the latter part of the Peninsular war, a commissary In the army, and afterwards a linen-draper in South ampton, from which business he retired about ten years since, having amassed considerable property. During the last ten weeks the deceased had been staying at No. 1 Church-street , Chelsea, with Mr. Charles Wellington, and appeared in the enjoyi.nent of his usual health and spirits. On Monday last deceased, with Mr. Wellington, proceeded to Brighton, tO remain there during the week. On Tuesday evening about nine o'clock, Mr. Wellington was surprised at seeing the deceased suddenly walk into the house, and on asking him why he had left Mrs. Wellington, he said, "Oh, I am very tired, and want to go to bed," and went up to his bedroom. About Seven o'clock Mr. Wel lington went up to deceased's room to call him to brea kfast, but found the door fastened on the inside. No answer having been re turned, the door was forced open, when the deceased was found near the foot of the bed, with his head nearly severed from his body, having in his right hand an open razor, and under his left arm a second open razor, both bloody. It was evident from the marks o c f , blood that the deceased had got out of bed on the other side, an there first cut his throat, and then gone round the bed to a table, and taken the second razor, and repeated the act, and fell where he was found. The jury returned a verdict ";That the deceased com mitted the act himself, but there is not sufficient evidence before them as to the state of WA mind at the tiXae.", r -1 rire Gre Gre I- of 1 %M I bib lan bei tit Ito eat
