The reigning Duke of Saxe Meiningen arrived in town at twelve o'clock yesterday from Windsor Castle. After having had an audience of the Queen, his Serene Highness paid visits to the Duke of Sussex, the Princess Augusta, and the Duchess of Gloucester. At five o'clock his Serene Highness left the Queen's House, St. James's, in an open carriage and four, attended by Barons De Munchhaussen and De Gemmin_ gen, on his return to Windsor Castle. The Queen gave audiences yesterday at Kensington Pa lace, to the Earl of Mulgrave, Earl of :,Tinto, L or d Gl ene l g, [and Sir Herbert Taylor. It is not in the department of the Lord Chamberlain to issue any of the tickets lor the admission of persons to any part of St. George's Chapel on the occasion of the solemnity next Saturday. The Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester took an airing together yesterday, in a carriage. A. deputation of the Van Diemen's Land Company, con fsisting of the Deputy Governor, Mr. William Burnie, Messrs. Cattley, J.

The Duke of Cambridge has not vet arrived, although his Royal Highness has been expected hourly For the last two lays. It is said that the Duke is very unwell, and if that be ;o, and he is unable to come to London in sufficient time to tttend the funeral, an alteration will necessarily have to be nade in the procession. The preparations for the funeral of tis late Majesty may now, so far as the carpenters are con .erned, be considered as completed ; for in a very few hours hey will actually be so. The stalls of the Knights of the Gar •er in St. George's Chapel arc hung with black drapery, fes .ooned. Each Knight will, at the ceremony of the interment, to in his own stall, over which his banner is floating. It is known that the Queen Dowager has expressed a very i tnxious wish to witness the procession ; but finding it contrary o etiquette to be present and forming a part of the melancholy •eremony, we believe that it has been endeavoured to prevail on her Majesty to forego her intention. The Queen Dowager, ' l oWeVer, whose affectionate attention to her late royal con sort in his last moments cannot be too highly appreciated, Appears determined to witness the last sorrowful scene. One of the gentlemen of her household was cense pently yesterday deputed to ascertain how her Majesty might gratify her wishes without observation, and it has 'men at length arranged that she will have her apartments Tong the North Terrace (the gates of which will be closed, us they arc now, to the public), and from Sir Jeffrey Wyat ,ille's residence enter the cloister ; from thence through one of he canon's residences into the cloisters, then into the chapter nom, and from that to the Royal Closet, in St. George's chapel. It is in that closet where her Majesty and her late re ..cred consort have so frequently gone publicly and unosten mtiously to attend divine service on Sundays, every time )assing close by those of the public who might be standing Ind offering their obeisance as the royal pair alighted and walked along the public avenue. A singular incident, and one that will probably occasion many reflections on the Aficertainty of human life, may be Here mentioned. Some little time since it will be recollected that his late Majesty intended to give a grand banquet in St. George's Hall to the knights of an order—the Garter, we :telieve—upon the occasion of the installation of Prince Ester lazy. The Prince was taken ill, and unable to come to Wind sor to be installed; the banquet was, of course, postponed. Upon these great occasions the twenty-two pieces of beautiful small artillery which stand on the eastern terrace, were always removed to the north terrace, and a party of the Royal Artil lery from Woolwich fired them on certain toasts being given by the King after dinner. When tho banquet was fixed the can eon were removed, and the party of artillery arrived. The banquet was postponed at least twice, and we believe three times, but in expectation that it would shortly take place, the cannon remained on the north terrace, and the artillerymen have remained here also. The sequel of this incident is, that instead of firing on the occasion of a banquet for which they were removed they will be fired on the occasion of the funeral of the amiable and hospitable Master of the Castle I FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

The Bishop of Lincoln has placed the vacant pre bend of St. Botolph, in the cathedral church of Lincoln, at the disposal of the Church Commissioners. A strong muster of the City of London Reform Club took place yesterday at their office in Basinghall-street, John Travers, Esq., in the chair, when it was unanimously de termined that the office, books, papers, and general establish ment of that influential body should be devoted to election pur poses in aid of the return of Messrs. Wood, Grote, Pattison, and Crawford. From the full attendance and the very ener getic spirit evinced by those who took part in the proceedings, we anticipate a crowded attendance of householders and livery men at the public meeting on Monday next, when the Hon. Members for the city will address their constituents. The following notice was placarded generally in the city yesterday :—" The Lord Mayor informs his fellow citi zens that the funeral of his late much revered Majesty, King William, will take place on Saturday, the Bth of July' inst. The Lord Mayor, therefore, feels confident that every mark of reaped will be most willingly manifested by the abstaining from all such business as can possibly be avoided on the day of the mournful solemnity." Tuesday, at the Surrey Sessions, Bridget Rum mies was indicted and conv i c t e d o f ill t rea ti ng - and almost starving to death Hannah Minstead, an aged female placed un der her care by her relations.

Tuesday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a respectably dressed woman was crossing Fenchurch-street, when she was run against by a chaise-cart, driven at a rapid rate, and the end of one of the shafts striking her underneath the right arm, penetrated underneath the bladebone to the depth of between two and three inches. The poor creature then fell, and was severely trampled on by the horse. She was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital. CAPT. MARRYAT'S SNARLEY YON; OR THE Doo FIEND."-Those who are familiar with Capt. Nlarryat's style (and who is not ?) will look for vigour, vivacity, sport, and eccentricity of all kinds in these volumes, and they will not be disappointed. The Captain, whether on sea or on shore, is equally in his element ; for his element is human nature. His Doe - and his Dutchman are amiable counterparts of each other—the Dog being a Dutchman on four legs, the Dutchman a Dag on two. They roam the world in all direc tions; steady in storm and convivial in calm ; daring in dan ger, glorious in grog ; and thus running a round of alliterative ardour, and heavy-sterned happiness to the end of the three volumes, of the pleasantest kind that can solace a man under the heat of a summer's sun. Snarley Yow is an antagonist for the dog-days. But Capt. Marryat in these volumes exhibits a new faculty—we allude to the capital sea songs with which they arc interspersed. Assessed taxes and poor-rates due on the 6th of April must be paid on or before the 20th of this month by all electors of cities and boroughs, or they will be disqualified from voting at an election. It is the last day also fur sending in claims to vote for counties. Another death has occurred from the explosion of the Union. John Wilkinson having had a relapse, died on Sunday, in the Hull Infirmary. A grand meeting of the Reformers of Hastings was held at the Swan Hotel on Saturday evening. The large room was filled to suffocation by electors, who assembled co meet the popular cant'idate, Robert Hollond, Esq. It will be observed that it has ly:en determined that the Festival in Celebration of the Fourth Centenary of the Invention of the Art of Printing, takes place in Edinburgh on Wednesday. On Sunday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, Mr. Edwin Henry Goldsmith, a gentleman holding a respectable situation under Government, was drowned while bathing in the ricer, near Chelsea Fields; and strange to say, the unfortunate gentleman has not since been found. He is a native of Great Yarmouth. THE CITY OF THE SULTAN.—This most inte resting work, by Miss Pardoc, brings us into all the wonders which now live only in the " Arabian Night's Entertain ments," and on the banks cf the Bosphorus. The author's in troductions led her into the midst of all that was novel, showy, and interesting in the capital. One day she visited the elite of Pent, the exqUisites of Thrace ; the next she mingled among the handsome, grave, and superbly •dressed Armenians. Next day she smiled on the Greek Patriarch and his circle of hand some young Priests. Next day she dined with the Greeks of the Fanar, entered into all their subtleties, and was enraptured with their enthusiasm, their black eyes, and their fine fore heads. Next day she was introduced into the harems of the Turkish Nobles, and in those abodes of seclusion and splendour, where all is beauty and precious stones, slavery in its pomp, alai liberty that laughs at chains, where every hall has its tribe of snowv-skinned Circassians and diamond-eyed Georgians, she gazed, feasted, and was complimented in the most ltaurious style. At the meeting of the Medico-Botanical Society, Earl Stanhope in the chair, Mr. Everitt, the professor of chemistry, made some remarks respecting the tests for ar senic, and afterwards demonstrated its presence in the com position candles. Having fully proved the existence of the poison in the candle, in the proportion of at least two grains in each (and lie stated his belief that four grains were a more correct statement), he then proceeded to assign a rea son for its use. Candles which are made of tallow have too low a melting point to admit of the use of a curved wick. Sterine or spermacetic, either of which has a much higher melting point, is, therefore, employed in making the composition candles, and to prevent its running into grain or ctystallising, a certain quantity of wax was added, which, it was found, would fully answer the purpose. It was after wards discovered that a small quantity of arsenic would ef fect the same object, and, it being considerably cheaper, it was adopted into use. The professor further stated that, when he had ma d e t h e di scover y, an d it had become bruited abroad, his opinions were confirmed by two or three manufac tt;crers, wh o ac k nowledged using the poison. He left it to he members of the profession to determine whether arsenic thus volatilised, and coming in contact with the lungs, would prove deleterious. Judging from the effects of other gasses, he thought it, would be injurious. The accounts of the crops from all parts of the king dom concur in stating that the prospects of the harvest aro 0: the most encouraging description. THE SUN LONDON, THURSDAY, J ULY 6, 18:.7.

TIIE FREEMASON'S QUARTERLY REVL This is a very good Number, though less generally interesting than the last. He speaks of tho interest which it is likely to excite among the uninitiated in the mysteries of the Masonic craft. Knowing nothing ourselves of the secrets of the brotherhood, we can only guess at the importance of articles which address themselves mote exclusively to them ; but if we may hazard an opinion, several of the Papers in the Number for July will attract more atten- tion among the members of the Masonic body than any that have yet appeared. We copy from an article on " Freemasonry" an extract, the perusal of which will best convey our meaning to the reader. It com mences with the building of the second Temple, after the expiration of the Babylonish captivity : Well can imagination paint the joy of the restored Is raelites at again beholding the land of their inheritance, the land endeared to them by so many miracles, hallowed by re peated blessings. The skill of the ancient Craft was called into requisition, and the vast trenches prepared to receive the foundations of a second Temple, sacred to the living God. The following beautiful passage is from the book of Ezra the scribe, whose records, whatever may be the opinion of the world respecting their inspired character, must ever be precious to the mason :—" And when the builders laid the foundation of the Temple of the Lord, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of David, king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord, because he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundations of the house of the Lord were raised. But many of the priests, and Levit es, and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men that ha d seen the first thhoeuisre,eywo'hs,ewn wept t e tr d a at l i o o u n d o y f oi t o h o i , s a h n o d u mseanwyaslaidbefore shouted aloud with joy. So that the people could not discern the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off." To encourage them in their undertaking, a peculiar instance of the divine favour was manifested. That stupendous mystery, concealed before the flood by the wisdom and piety of Enoch, preserved amid the strife of waters, the wreck of a drowned world, and the revolution of ages, was revealed to the builders of the second Temple, once more the ineffable characters were unveiled, and the lost secret found. As this important event will come more seriously under our observation when treating of Royal Arch Masonry, we shall for the present dismiss it from our pages. In sifting the ashes of the past in search of the lost gems of truth, it is singular to find so many evidences, not only of the high anti quity- of our order, but of its universality. Freemasonry is the clue by which the mystic labyrinth of time can alone be traced ; for reasons evident to the Mason, it will be par ticularly proper here, to notice one of the most ancient tos subjoin I; traditions of the Arabians called the Ism Ablah, or sc i ence of the name of God ; which, although disfigu re d by their pecu liar allegoryou our views origin.ai enls and superstition, Toon t he enable subject u r b oaer readers bears teihrnists moreriral tradition, readilyevidence of b s Masonic com prehend jo we it in the words of our authority. " They pretend that Gad is the lock of this science, and Mahomet the key ; th a t con sequently none but Nlahometans can att a i n it ; that it dis covers what passes in distant countries. A merchant of Mecca who had learnt it in all its forms from Mahomet El Dsjanadsjeni, at present so famous in that city, told me that he had been saved in shipwreck by it ; he showed. me at Bombay, a book containing all sorts of figures and arithme tical tables, with instructions how to arrange them, and the appropriate prayers for every circumstance, but he would neither suffer me to touch the book or copy its title."— ( Niebuhr.) No Brother versed in the antiquities of the Craft, and the mysteries of the /Ilk Marker and Royal Arch de grees, can fail to recognize beneath the veil which Oriental superstition has wove, the generic characters of his order. In pursuing this question of the universality of Freemasonry, similar traces may be found in the ancient mythology of the Hindoos, of Brama, the supreme Deity. They have no idol ; the reason assigned for it in their Veeda or sacred book, is as follows :—" Of him whose glory is so great, there is no image. He is the incomprehensible b,ing who illumines all, delights all, and from whence all proceeds; that by which they live when born, and that to which all must return." Their de sci iption of his heaven is even more remarkable, it is named Moust Cassalry. " Round the mountain stand seven ladders, by which you ascend to a spacious plain, in the middle whereof is a bell of silver and a square table, surrounded with nine precious stones; upon this table lies a rose called Tamara Pua, in the centre of this rose is the Triangle of Quirelinga,-which they say is the permanent residence of God."—(Balchrus.) What, we would ask, are the seven ladders leading to this heaven, but the virtues of which the seven liberal arts and sciences arc amongst Masons the symbol of the mystic Tri angle of Quivelinga ? Would it were permitted to draw aside the veil and inform the world why that symbol is so pe culiarly identified with Masonry—why it proves that in the earlier ages the Ilindoos possessed a knowledge of the only God, and why that knowledge could only have been derived from a masonic source. This, however, must not be ; suffi cient for the uninitiated, that from time immemorial, even be fore the flood, the triangle consecrated by the mystery engra yen upon it by Enoch, has been sacred to our order. Let the Royal Arch Mason inwardly adore that Providence which hath to him confided a holy and peculiar key, and in whose sight the veil of ages hath been drawn aside. THE METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE. Saunders and Otley. " Reeve's Sketches of Bohemia and the Sclavonia provinces of the Austrian Empire" are continued in the Metropolitan for July. They are graphically vivid and interesting—particularly the writer's contrast of the past and present state of Cracow, with its old reminiscences of feudal grandeur and glory. The " Bench and the Bar," by the author of the " Great Metropolis," contains sketches of Lord Chief Justice Denman, Mr. Justice Littledale, Mr. Justice Patteson, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Coleridge. They are full of amusing anecdote. The " Mariner's Daughter" by the author of " Cavendish" opens well, but we must await its conclusion before expressing our opinion upon it. The other articles, with the exception of the " Back woods of America," from which we give an extract, arc of the usual Magazine class—respectable, nothing more. The following is a faithful picture of the ordi nary a dministration of the criminal law in the back settlements of the New World : The following day I attended the court-room, to hear what might be going on in the " hall of justice,"—and certainly never had I then seen so " homely-looking" an affair in my life. The court-room, which was over a store, was but tempo rarily fitted up, and was therefore of the simplest order. The judges (for there arc three in those county courts) sat with their backs against the wall on something like a large common table—and had a plank fixed in front on which to lean or write. Immediately in front of their " honours" was placed an oblong deal table, around which were placed some half. score of common wooden-bottomed chairs, and this was under stood to constitute the " bar." Behi n d the "bar," on the right and left, were two moderate-sized benches for the juries—the grand jury to the right hand, and the pe tit jury to the left; there was no part i cu lar ictand or dock for prisoners to be placed in—and the remainder of the room, was devoted to the public. When I en tered this court of justice I found it occupied with the trial of CHARGE. Permanent Debt Terminable Annuities Interest on Exchequer Bills issued to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund Sinking Fund The Civil List Other charges on the Consolidated Fund, including Civil Government Services formerly paid out of the Civil List, of the Heredi tary Revenues of the Crown Total Charge The Surplus The Ami off co The Amc for Si The Sure ,unt of Exchequer Bills issued to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund for the Quarter ended April 5, 1837, and paid It of the growing produce of that F u nd for the Quarter ended July 5, 15 37 auntissued in the Quarter ended July 5. 1837. in part of the sums granted by Parliament out of the Consolidated Fund apply Services dug of the Consolidated Fund Quarter ended July 5, 1837 1: The pi Irobable amount of Exchequer Bills required to meet the charge on the Consolidated Fund, Quarter ended July 5, 1837 a villanous-looking fellow, who had been indicted for stealing rifle from a a dwelling-house. He had very composedly taken his scat in one of the chairs already mentioned as constituting the " bar," and was in frequent consultation with his lawyer, who sat beside him. The states' or district attorney, whose place it was it is to appear in behalf of the state, was at this time opening the case to the court and jury. When he had finished his harangue, the felon's lawyer got upon his legs, and continued to hold forth for something more than half an hour. I was exceedingly amused at the cool man ner of the burglar, who occasionally twitched his man of law's coat-skirt, whenever he though he was not saying all he ought to say in his behalf ; and then to see his lawyer bend down his ear (for the rogue would not take the trouble to rise), to listen to his client's suggestion. This, thought I, may do in these republican backwoods ; but how strange such doings would appear in our old fashioned courts of justice ! But I was then almost a stranger in the land; and I have long since ceased to wonder at suck scones. When the parties had respectively ad dressed the court and jury, " his honour," the district judge, commenced summing up the whole business. As this was likely to occupy considerable time, and as the prisoner had been in court many hours, he very composedly got up, and pushing his way through the crowd behind the bar, descended into the street. The only individual that attempted to detain him was his own lawyer; ,who, when the prisoner had informed him that lie intended to go down to the tavern, which was some what distant, to refresh himself with some " victuals and drinks," remonstrated against such a step, on the plea of its not showing a proper respect to the " honourable court." However, as this was simply a matter of opinion, the fellow saw fit to favour his own feelings—and away be went to enjoy him self. At length the summing up was over—the law attaching and applying to the particular case was communicated, clearly and intelligibly to the jury —who, after consulting a few mi nutes, gave in a verdict of " guilty." The only remaining part of the busißess was for the court to pass sentence upon the prisoner —but he was not forthcoming. After some little delay, and consultation in high quarters, a couple of constables went off for the prisoner, to the house where he had been making the most of his time in picking tho buries of a roasted goose. After the trio had each of them swallowed a "drink" of whiskey, they told him he had better lick his fingers and go along with them, as the judge had got something " very parti. cular" to tell him. Being too well bred to keep "his honour" waiting, now that he had dined and had his allowance of whiskey, off he set to hear what they had to say. He therefore once more edged in by the side of his lawyer—who now, I ob. served, received him rather coolly—and when silence had been duly enforced, the fellow was sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment." ELECTION. CHRISTIAN REFORMER. Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper. We are glad to see in the July Number of this Ma gazine the commencement of a series of papers entitled " Answer to the Principal Objections brought against the Truth of the Gospel," translated from that excel lent work, Demonstration Evangclique. The objec tions considered and answered in the present article are the Unbelief of the Jewish Nation, and the Silence of Profane History. The only other article which our limits permit us to notice is that entitled " Lady Hew ley's Charities—Third Act of the Controversy." It is a review of a pamphlet, lately published, setting forth the proceedings before the Master in Chancery, to de termine who are the proper parties to succeed the trustees who were removed for their supposed heresy. As we intend to devote an article or two to this subject soon, we shall here only advert to the remarkable cir cumstance, that the Dissenters ( - of the Independent denomination) who have been labouring so hard to dispossess the Presbyterians of endowments handed down to them from their ancestors, on the ground of a declension from the true faith, are here charged, on the oath of Scotch Presbyterian Ministers, with the guilt of the same heresy of which they accused Lady Hew icy's trustees ; and that the Independents, so accused, have been unable to repel the charge ! It is further in sinuated by the Scotch Presbyterians—who it appears constitute a majority in the new trust—that there is good ground for suspecting that many old Presbyterian en , & win o-As now in the hands of the Independents are held by them unjustly, and properly belong to the Scotch P r esbyteriatis, as the only true religionists of the name now in existence. It may thus happen that the stone set in motion by the Independent Dissenters may re bound with tenfold destruction on themselves. ALEXANDER'S EAST INDIA MAGAZINE. " Recollections of the Deccan'' is the only article in this Number which has the least appearance of fresh. ness. 'There are also some terse, business-like ob. scrvations on the establishment of the Agra Bank The other papers are reviews of books, and reports o proceedings at the East India House, of no genera interest. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Simpkin and Marshall. " Here he comes, God bless him ! driving all before him," was the enthusiastic burst of the delighted Irish blackleg, when he saw his favourite racer bring up the rear on the Curtagh of Kildare. The exclamation es capes us almost as often as our friend Anthony Poplar makes his appearance. He is sure to be hindmost— sure to bring up the rear in the Magazine race of pre cedence. We had inquired for him four times at least, when having allowed as many clear days of the month to elapse, in he walks about noon, (this day) to lay claim to the merited, but generally uncoveted distinc tion of arriving five days after the proper time. Whether this is attributable to an arrangement made by the editor, the printer, or the publishers, we, of course, cannot tell ; but we are very sensible that it militates against the interest of the proprietors. In noticing periodical literature, our object is to benefit the publishers as well as the public ; and, therefore, if Magazines, and such temporary productions, are not sent to us in time, we would prefer not receiving them at all, inasmuch as we cannot do them justice after they have lost the attraction of novelty. Either let us, in future, see Anthony Poplar on the first day of the month at the latest, or let us not see him at all. We cannot—rather will not—speak critically of his appearance this month. Our friends must therefore be satisfied with learning that we have seen him, and that we are in a towering passion at not having seen him earlier. On Saturday night Thomas Taylor, a boy belonging to the sehooner • Bradford, Captain Wright, of Selby, whilst endeavouring to get into the host over the stern of the vessel, then lying in Pickle Herring Tit r, fell into the River, and was drowned.

LIVERPOOL.—It is the wont of the Tories to be boast ful and not over veracious. Accordingly, we find the Courier loud and confident in asserting the certainty of Sandon and ClT.:smell getting in. Credal. RTE.—Major Curteis has resigned. His brother, late Member for the County, will offer himself, and be re turned. DUNIFRIES.—The more conspicuous reformers in Dum fries and Maxsvelltown, have wisely determined not to di vide the Liberal interest ; so that if we are to have a contest at all, it will be one of principle and not of pri vate friendship, or shades of opinion as closely interwoven as the plumage on a carrier pigeon's neck. The Tories, we understand, have been lying off in expectation of a split, and were a breach made for them, we have repeatedly un derstood from one of the party that they had a candidate at call to pop in, who would hermetically seal the elec toral fortress for a series of years.—Dunifiies Courier. GLOUCESTER.—A correspondent under the name of Justus thus addresses us :—You have so admirably pic tured the expiring agonies of the Tories that I cannot re sist the temptation now offered me of letting you in a small degree behind the scenes here. At a cost of about 7,0001., Hope was returned for this city last election, but if he will not bleed freely and come down handsomely, they will probably start a red-hot Medico, of the name of Co. tiler, who was Hope's slop-pail last time. Nothing can hinder Berkeley and Philpots being returned but the pri vate feuds of their respective friends. IRELAND. COUNTY DUBLIN.—Lord Brabazon is to supply the place of Mr. Fitzsimon, who accepts the office of Clerk of the Hanaper. The Tories talk of Mr. Wood, whose riches are much greater than his reputation for political know ledge. The county may be considered safe, without strik ing a blow. COUNTY OF WICKLOW.—The Orangemen are putting up a Beresford here against Grattan. It is rumoured that Lord Wicklow will give his support to Major Beresford. A Beresford !—a name justly and universally, throughout Ire land, odious. COUNTY KILDARE is safe. The electors Lave deter mined to put Mr. Archbold in nomination, together with the present representative, the Right lion. Richard More 0' Ferran. CouNTY or CARLOW.—It is said by his friends that Colonel Bruen is about to throw up the county -in disgust —that. Colonel Rechford has declined the invitation to peril his purse, and that none of Mr. Brown, of the Hill's family, can be brought to the scratch. The Burtons arc sulky, and Mr. Buubury is heart-sick from his recent de feat. The truth is, that this county is secure to Mr. Vi gors and Mr. Yates ; so secure, that even the show of contest is not apprehended. BOROUGH OF CARLOW. — Mr. Frank Bruen must march out of this borough, and Mr. Manic will take his place. The borough is ours. KING'S COUNTY.—The present Representatives will be returned again.

The ({feet produced by the late rains is truly astonishing, Two extensive agriculturists informed us, that they never had such a prospect of a good harvest as they enjoy at pre sent. The barley, in general, looks most luxuriant ; oats area promising crop ; the rye alone appears indifferent. Hay-cutting has commenced in Sutherland, but considered by many too early, as the hay has not yet arrived at full maturity. We have not beard of a single failure in the potato crop, which the practical farmers attribute to the attention paid this year to the selection and sowing of the seed, and also to their being planted shortly after they were cut...-111VerlICSS COUriCi% Nothing can exceed the improvement which has taken place in all the crops within the last fortnight, rendering the promise of abundance in all respects most gratifying. Mow ing has commenced under the most auspicious circumstances in the immediate vicinity of Swansea, and, before the week has expired, will be very general throughout the neighbour hood, should the weather continue tine--Thc Cambrian. The hay crops are in the neighbourhood of Chesterfield very abundant, and some fields are already cut ; in a few days mowing will have very generally commenced, and from the extremely favourable state of the weather, it is confidently anticipated that the crops will be well got in.— Dct by:Lire Courier. Hay-cutting has commenced very generally around Ken dal and in the neighbouring districts ; the crop seems, with but few exceptions, rather thin.—Wcantoreland Gazette. The price of all sorts of grain at Carlisle is declining ra pidly in consequence of the prospect of an abundant harvest. —Whitehaven Herald. In allusion to the hour at which his late Majesty expired, the Dumfries Courier remarks that "it is a curious fact which medical science has hitherto left unexplained, that the closing scene, when the mortal ceases and the immortal begins, should occur so very often after the waning night has ushered in the dawn of another day. To us there is some thing not only striking, but mysteriously sublime, in the coin. cidence named ; and were not the decrees of Providence impervious to the finite faculties of man, it would be pleasing to trace unity between the great fiat exercised at the creation, and the spirit winging its heavenward flight." CHURCH-RATES.--A parish meeting was held last Friday at Merthyr, when the attempt to make a Church rate was negatived by a large majority.— The Silurian. On Thursday last a fellow named Jones was tried with a companion at the Quarter Sessions for housebreaking at Waltham, and acquitted. He was liberated, but in the course of a very few hours was taken b ac k to hi s o ld quarters at the gaol, having stolen , 1 / 4 a suit of child's clothes from M. -Myers, of this town.

We have arrived suddenly at the wry crisis of that experiment which I have been making for the last two years—to ascertain whether the union between the two countries can operalo for the welfare of both, or not. . I am bound in candour to tell you that my own opinion is that it cannot so operate. I ahnoit hope I may be mi,• taken ; but full sure I am that the period has come whets the trial will be complete, and the people of the entire em pire will be able to judge of the value or the evil to Irt• land of the present arrangement of her connection with Great Britain. • • • _ • The Court hitherto has been hostile to Ireland. It would be criminal to conceal it from ourselves ; and our enemies have long known and enjoyed the fact, that during the thret•' last reigns the Court wiAl inimical to the Irish people. care not whether the prejvdice was national or religious—i —that it existed is plain and undeniable. It is quite true that our late Monarch had perhaps less, of this prejudice than his immediate predecessors—but hel was surrounded by persons the most unfriendly to popular! rights, and, above all, by persons who are too ignorant of the real state of Ireland, or too much attached to the pe culating and oppressive spirit of faction, to allow the good! intentions of the Sovereign to produce any substantial be-! nefits to our country. But we have no longer to apprehend the existence atl Court of prejudice or hostility to any portion of the people] of these realms. . My heart beats high in the hope of better days for Ire land. The Queen is for "justice to Ireland." The Queen's. Ministers are for "justice to Ireland." The administration, . . of Lord Mulgrave has given an earnest of his anxiety a nd that of his colleagues to place Ireland on a footing of equa- 6, lity with Great Britain. I desire to remain in Parliament in order to give my, humble but zealous aid to the Queen's Ministers to work!. out the benevolent intentions of the Sovereign. In short, to enable us all to ascertain whether there be a faction in Great Britain sufficiently powerful to counteract the pa- triotic wishes of the Sovereign aid the Jetermin, fon of her'''. Ministers, and to render the one and the other abortive and ). .l, unproductive of benefit to the Irish people. 14 Every thing hostile to conciliation anti to the peace oi) 1 Ireland will be attempted by the Tory faction in this coun- E : . try. The Tories rake up the embers of ancient bigotry 4 and intolerance. They foment all the bad passions anki.i prejudices and national antipathies against Ireland. But ti their great resource is corruption—bribery the most protli-1 gate and unmeasured—bribery the most demoralizing and criminal—bribery accompanied by drunkenness and riot, 1 -- : and obviously exposit , its victims to commit the additional I crime of perju r y. S uch are the instruments which the Tories are using throughout England. They affect a holy and sanctimonious zeal for religion. They cant about the • cause of piety ; but they practice the most diabolical ini quity to carry their interested objects of temporal powerf' and peculation. Such is the foul faction we have to oppose. In Engla1:(1 their efforts will, in most places, totally fail. Ma. S. CRAWFORD.—The Hon. Member for Dundalk has addressed a long letter to the Secretary of the Dundalk Reform Registry Association, communicating the grounds on which his determination was founded not again to solicit • a renewal of the trust the electors of Dundalk had beforel confided in him. MURDER IN THE POTTERIES. On Wednesday last an inquest was held at the Albion .otel, Shelton, in the Potteries, before Mr. W. Harding on view of the body of John Kirkham, aged 21, a young ma❑ employed at the fictory of Mr. Keeling, of Hanley, who was murdered by his father, under the following atro cious circumstances : " On Wednesday night last Kirkham. the father, came home intoxicated, began to abuse his wife, and eventual!) 2 3 turned her out of doors ; after which he went to bed. 1n rA a little time afterwards, when he was asleep, one of his '' children came down stairs to let the woman into the house,.: and she. lay down on a screen below stairs, intending to lie there till morning. About four o'clock Kirkham happened to come down, intending to go to work, and finding WI. wife below, he asked her for something to take wit II him. She gave him the bottom of the loaf, being eve r particle of food that was in the house ; on which he began to abuse her, and the son (John), hear ing a noise, immediately went down stairs and took his .-.. mother's part. A struggle then took place between the,,, father and the son ; and a neighbour (Joseph Chorlton),V.' who came in at the request of the mother to make peace, found them on the floor struggling, and the son uppermost. • Chorlton begged them to desist, and live peaceably ; on. which they got up, and the father said, " .Toe, I'll have in-.'4 . ,. revenge." Immediately after he had said that he snatched up a collier's pick and threw it at his son, who was standing'.. near the door. The pick struck the young man on the back, ' and bounded into the street. The father then repeated the words before mentioned as to having his revenge, and took up a dinner-knife that lay on the table, and, on his son en- .' t ; . tering at the door, he struck him on the left side under the fifth rib. The young man reeled, went oat a little dis- 1 tance, and returned almost immediately ; when his inhuman parent repeated the blow, and the knife went in on the same side between the sixth and seventh ribs, and penetrated the ~ -.1 heart. The young man called out, " Oh, Lord, lam -;,-) stabbed !" and again went out about seven or eight yards, holding his hand to his side. Chorlton followed him, and caught him as he was in the act of falling to the ground, and - I conveyed him, with the assistance of the father (who vo luntarily came out), and some of the neighbours, into the, h-use. Mr. Harding, the surgeon, was sent fur, and arrived immediately. Ha found the wounded man very much de bilitated from loss of blood, and perceived that he was in a state of imminent danger from the second wound, it being much more dangerous and extensive than the first. The young man had himself a conviction that he could not long . 1 survive. After the surgeon had dressed his wounds, on being asked by the constable " who had done it ?" he said "My father—l freely forgive him," and shaking hands witlt him added, " God bless you, I hope we shall meet again in ' heaven." The young man lingered till about half-past six, 4i when death relieved him from his sufferings, having survivedr; the injuries inflicted on him about two hours. The lathes"! was conveyed to the lock-up some time before the death of t his son, and when told he was dead, exclaimed, " Oh Lord% I hope it is not true ;. I can't believe you !" and appeareA much agitated. The Jury returned a verdict of " NIT ilful Murder againstq William Kirkham, the father." ti MURDEROUS ATTEMPT. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY NIGIIT.—An extraordinary 't attempt, which was very nearly successful, was made here . :l this afternoon, to deprive a fellow-creature of life, underm circumstances of savage atrocity, seldom surpassed in the l P annals of crime. A man named Joseph Armitage, having gone to visit a man employed with other stone - ma sons, in'. ff igging Mr. Knox's factory, situate in what is called Little Ireland from its being mostly inhabited by the lower order of Irish, was importuned by the workmen in question to " pay his footing," as they had been drinking all the afternoon liquor supplied in that way by others. Armitage expostu ded, said he had no money, and besides that, was not em ployed*there. After some considerable altercation they threa• tencd life if he refused to comply. He again stated his initf, ability, and urged their having no chdm u p on h im, but, : they continued to insist on their demand. At length one •- of the ruffians proposed to hang him, and the suggestion?; was immediately acted upon. Two or three of them seized him, and endeavoured to place a rope round his neck, when, finding his life really in danger, for at first he thought them only in jest, he made a desperate effort to free himself, and succeeded in drawing a knife from his pocket to defend himself. A violent struggle ensued, when the rest of the • party, consisting of eight or nine, closed upon him, and ob tained possession of the knife, but not before he had received some severe wounds in the hands. They then dragged him ~ to a post, to which they attached him, by passing a rope about his neck and shoulders ; and next, by taking his feet from the ground, and binding them up behind him, placed him in a most agonizing state of strang ulation. in this miserable condition they kept him for about half an hour„ they standing by to enjoy his agony, mocking and jeering at Vim ; and they eventually lathim to perish, or be rescued as he might. Fortunately for him and his cowardly assail - ants, however, a family residing on the premises had par tially witnessed the transaction, but whether they kept aloof from fear or criminal indifference, remains yet to be proved. Be that as it may, one of them told some neighbours of the circumstance, and numbers speedily made their way_to the spot. They found the poor fellow almost at the last ex tremity ; and when released, it was for some time doubtful whether he would survive or not. A number of the police,l , well armed, immediately searched Little Ireland for the ot: 4 fenders, but without success. They are all known, however,l anti wa rrants will be issued to-morrow morning for their! appro .ension. Saturday, Robert Hoye, master of the Post•office at! Woodford, who had been for some time in a depressed state' of mind, was luuad suspended over a fire in a room used for / drying bacon. He was quite dead when discove;ed, a portion! of his toes being burnt otr. The deceased, it would appear,' id% b(.d for the purpose, as his clothes were found in his room. Vadiet accordingly.—Essex Herald. /~. /~:"r. _ ( 2 \ \ t '7'` ~ ~`~
