THURSDAY NIGHT.—The field is still in the possession of Lord Henry Bentinck, and he is; to be returned without op position, with a Welbeck protection feather in his cap. How long he may be allowed to wear it is another matter. His single notion of legislation (for upon the corn-law continu ance alone he speaks in his appeal to the electors) he must find, will not held good long. The period is not distant when, he may rest assured, his noble father's tithes will be pressed upon his attention, if no other subject was. If he be the "farmer's friend," he must prove it by questioning the propriety or impropriety of this impost, which is fast wearing down the tenantry. That a farmer should be called upon to pay a greater amount of tithe than rent (and which is really the case in Nottinghamshire since the Tithe Commissioners set their feet into that county) is t , c, monstrous a grievance to be endured. It does appear a stretch of the truth to as sert that the tenantry are paying more amount in tithe than rent ; nevertheless we are assured from a quarter upon which we can rely for the accuracy of what we state. Well may the Bail of Lincoln, in his address to the electors of South Nottinghamshire, declare there are other matters besides the corn-laws requiring rectification. Lord H. Bentinck is so much engaged with bis Lincolnshire fox hunt that he has not time to canvass the small district of North Nottingham shire, although from the date of his address to the first day of election there is a lapse of eleven days, exclusive . of two Sundays. A high compliment to the electors of North Nottinghamshire this! The Liberals do not think it worth while to trouble the electors, or incur any expense, until in this genera! election ; then they feel confident of succeeding this over long Tory -ridden division. EASTERN DIVISION OF SUFFOLK. Irsmcit,Tuu ItSDA Y.—The ceremony ofelecting a Member for this division of Suffolk took place to-day, when Mr. Gooch was returned without opp sition. For some time an impression prevailed that Captain Rous, the defeated of Westminster, would be put in nomination, and Mr. Gooch was expected is that case to resign in favour of the Gallant Captain, who is a relation of his own ; but when the hour, arrived for the nomination nothing was heard or seen of the expected substitute. The High Sheriff having opened the proceedings with the usual formalities, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the county in Parliament, which was seconded by R. F. Yeatman, Esq. ; but the meeting became so impatient that nothing of these gentlemen's speeches could be heard. Mr. FLOYER subseque-Aly addressed the electors under similar difficulties. He was understood, however, to rest his principles on support of the Established Church and the prin ciples of protection, which he considered interwoven with it. JOHN BROWNE, Esq., of Wareham, then came forward to propose Lord Ashley, but his Lordship interposed, and stated that, after his public notification that he would not, directly or indirectly, put his honourable opponents to any expense by demanding a poll, he could not think of being a party to any contrary proceeding..--(Hear.) co elector having any other candidate to propose, Henry Kerr Seymour, Esq., and John Floyer, Esq., were then de dared daly elected by the High Sheriff, Charles Percher, Esq., to whom a vote of thanks was subsequently carried by acclamation. W. C. FONNERICAU, Erg., nominated E. S. Gooch, Esq., es a fit and proper person to represent East Suffolk in Parlia ment. N. BARTHBOPP, Esq., having seconded the nomination, and no other candidate appearing, The HIGH SHERIFF declared that Edward Sherlock Gooeb, Esq., was duly elected. Mr. Goocu then came forward, and was received with cheers and groans. He said he was for protection, the whole protection, and nothing but protection.—(Laughter, and cries of " You won't have it.") There were throe or four millions of acres of land out of cultivation in Ireland now, the country in which he lived for three years.—(A voice— " And why didn't you stop there?"—Laughter.) if this land was not cultivated with protection, would it be culti vated without protection ?—(Yes, yes.) After a few other observations, the Hon. Gentleman concluded a leng address by thanking the electors for the honour they had done him. (Three cheers were then given for the Hon. Gentleman, and three cheers for free-trade.) Lord RENDLESIIAM M.P., in seconding the vote of thanks to the Sheriff, made a lengthened address to the meeting, and complained much that Sir Robert Peel had not given the constituency of the kingdom an opportunity of declaring its feeling upon the free trade measures. The proceedings then terminated. DORSETSHIRE.—(NOMINATION). DORCHESTER, FEB. 19.—This morning, at ten o'clock, the High Sheriff proceeded to the usual place of meeting, where hustings had been erected. Mr. Seyferer and Mr. Floyer, the two new candidates, arrived first, and were cheered by their friends. Lord Ashley was also cordially received. [His Lordship arrived in the town on the previous evening. When he had approached it within two or three miles, a crowd of persons stopped the carriage, intending to remove the horses, and draw his Lordship into Dorchester themselves; but the honour was declined. Before the King's Arms Hotel, where his Lordship had apartments, a large number of persons assembled and remained for an hour, cheering for Lord Ashley, Sir R. Peel, and free trade.] About 6,000 persons were col lected around the hustings. After the usual preliminaries, The HIGH SHERIFF requested an impartial hearing for every speaker who might address them.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Lord Ashley for ever.") Mr. H. K. Seymer was then proposed by Mr. Far quharson, and seconded by Colonel Mitchell ; after which the Hon. Candidate addressed the meeting at some length. At the conclusion of his speech Lord Asnun- presented himself. The Noble Lord began by stating, that although he was about to interpose between the address of the Hon. Candidate and the answer of the electors, yet it was not his intention to exercise the slightest influence over their decisi,m, or to claim any part of their sympathies for himself.—( Hear.) But, having had the honour of enjoying the honourable post of senior represen tative for the county, he did conceive that he was acting regularly and conveniently in proceeding to address them on the nomination of the gentleman who was intended to supply the vacancy caused by his retirement.—(No, no, and cheers). When he addressed them by letter on accepting the Chiltern Hundreds he told them distinctly that it was his intention to test the feelings of the county by calling for a show of hands, and at that time he did not despair of a favourable issue. Since that time, however, a meeting had been held, on the 6th of February, at which a great number of gentlemen and farmers assembled, and not only put up for their representation two gentlemen of the county, but also agreed to pay a great portion of their expenses. He there fore saw that it was hopelessfor him to make any furthereffort in the contest, and he at once announced his determination to his honourable opponents publicly. Now, he would put the question to the gentlemen on the hustings, and to the arena before him, what had they seen in him (Lord Ashley), what had they seen in either his public or private life, to justify them in as,erting that he should disgrace the county by its representation ?—(Great cheering.) Had he bartered them for place or pension?—(No, no.) Or had he lounged away in idleness the precious hours of public service?—(No, no, and cheers.) Then why this resolution—and let the electors mark the words, that " it would be inconsistent with their honour to vote for Lord Ashley."—(Great cheering.) He challenged them all to state a single reason why it would be inconsistent with their honour to return him as their re presentative to Parliament.—(A Voice—" Free trade.") Oh, but this was not all ; for the canvassers employed against him, even in the most northern parts of the county, were in structed to solicit the electors, not so much to promise to vote for the other candidates, as to pledge themselves not to vote for him; and to such an extent was this system carried, that many persons were solicited in the most pressing manner to affix their names to a document to that effect. Hence the re quisition so numerously signed presented to his opponents, and which was considered by many as the most remarkable and by some minds as the most painful document in the history of electioneering transactions.—(Cheers.) People talked of the importation of corn—they spoke of it in their speeches, and it appeared in their addresses; but from the beginning of the existing discussions in the House of Commons, had any Mem ber adduced a single argument or fact to show that such an apprehension was founded on even the shadow of a proba bility ?—(Cheers.) The thing was altogether impossible.— (Renewed cheering.) The largest amount ever entered for homeconsumption did not exceed three and a half millions of quarters, and these were sold in London at 50s. per quarter. It was clear, then, that if the demand required an additional supply of a million quarters, it would raise the price at least 10s. per quarter in the foreign market, and another addi tional million would raise it to 20s.—(Hear, hear, " That's a home thrust.") At this moment they could not get a quarter of wheat at Dantzic for less than 405., and there could not be found in all that district corn enough to meet even the tithe of their necessities. Two frien4a.,,of his engaged in the cotton manufacture went abreact :some: time ago, for the purpose of examining with 4heir own eyes the condition of the foreign factories, and the amount and character of the labour performed in them. They went . . Lord Ashley, on retiring, was loudly cheered. The successful candidates having returned thanks to the electors, were girt with the sword at the Shire-hall, after the approved ancient custom. SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. NEWARK, THURSDAY.-At three o'clock, Lord Lincoln and his friends appeared in the Corn-market, attended by an immense crowd of tradesmen and operatives. The number of persons assembled could not havebeen less than from three to four thousand. _ _ _ Lord LINCOLN, on presenting himself, was received with vociferous and continued cheering. He commented with much force upon the obvious manner in which his opponent, Mr. Hildyard, had avoided any contest of argument with him, and the ineffectual chase he (Lord Lincoln) had had after that lion. Gentleman. His Lordship then, in a long, earnest, eloquent, and argumentative speech, upheld the policy of which lie professed himself to be an adherent. We regret that press of other matter prevents us from giving the Noble Lord's address complete; but it is sufficient under the circumstances to mention, that it bad its due effect upon the listeners, and that upon its conclusion the crowd gave three hearty cheers of approbation.

He (Lord Ashley) first imbibed the notion that the English farmers were able to compete sac fully with foreigners from a conversation which he had had with a tenant-farmer of this county.—(Hear.) Napoleon in the zenith of his power, and with the entire comman of the Continent, found his Berlir and Milan decrees inoperative, because he was fighting against the necessities of the people. There was now more wisdom in their forms of Government— a tenfold force in p ublic o p inion, and he was convinced of this, that in the present da y , it would require a Napoleon mul tiplied by 20 not only to enforce, but to proclaim such decrees. —(Great cheering and disapprobation.) But th ere was another article of British consumption, a reference to which would throw a light on the question of the corn-laws, and that was the article of cotton wool. They were dependent on a single country--that of America—for their supply of this article. During the war of 1812 with America there was no suspen sion of the traffic in this article. The two countries agreed, as it were, to fight with one hand, and trade with the other -(Cheers, hisses, and laughter)—and so strong was the feeling on this subject, that the two Carolinas, where the cotton was chiefly grown, told the Government of America, that if they attempted to interfere with it, they would secede from the union, and declare themselves an independent power. Now, it was quite possible that neither the good nor the evil predicted from these measures might follow their adoption; but he was of opinion that they could not fail to give a stimulus to agriculture in these realms, and in doing so they would confer an inestimable benefit on the working classes at large. The multitude must be fed; and whether it was done by improved production at home or importations from abroad, an impetus must be equally given to agri culture. There was no wisdom so paltry as that which inculcated to the professors of a principle the propriety of not stirring until they were saluted with a kick—(Hear, hear)—aud never encountered an evil until they tasted what it was.—(Cheers and hisses.) Now the only amendment which he felt disposed to propose to the Ministerial measure was one which suggested itself on grave and, mature con sideration, and that was that they should have an immediate and not a gradual abolition of the corn- laws.—(Cheering and hisses for several minutes.) He had now but a few more words to address to them before he finally concluded. He would ask them was it their conscientious belief that those laws to which they were so devotedly attached could possibly be :maintained?—(Cheers and hisses.) He had never heard the most ardent protectionist assign a longer duration than five years for the existence of these laws.— (Hear, hear.) Ile would ask them, then, would they for such a trifling benefit protract this useless and bitter contest —incumber the march of improvement, deprive their ulti mate surrender—for to that it must come—of all grace and dignity, and perhaps the measure itself of all hope of mutual advantage ?—(Cheers.) However painful the issue it shall not sever those ties of charity which bind me to you, and I am sure you to me; and I shall rejoice in a hope, amounting to an assurance, that counsels such as these—devised to con solidate the peace and extend the intercourse of nations—to reconcile man to man and interest to interest, will be abun dantly blessed from on high, and I shall hope that your common welfare, forced on you in spite of yourselves, will make you confess at last that the free and friendly intercourse of all the families of the earth will secure your own prospe rity, under God, and bring all nations to the love of the law and the freedom and the religion of the British people.— (Cheers and disapprobation.) r '1 411 105 FAAIIrION7 sq., briefly proposed J9llll Floyer, LITERATURE. THE PHILOSOPHY OF WEALTH. Second Edition. By John Cranford. The first edition of this work was published anony mously at Paisley, by Mr. Crawford, in 1837. Mr. Crawford says he had then only a vague knowledge of the question of the currency, derived from those authorities or supporters of a metallic currency en the one hand, and of a paper or credil currency on the other, of which the late Mr. Cobbett, and Mr. Attwood, of Birmingham, may be considered the respective representatives. Within the last eighteen months, however, the author having become a member of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry, got acquainted with the writings of Mr. John Taylor, author of " Currency Investigated," whose views the Society was instituted for the purpose of carry ing into practical effect. Mr. Crawford acknowledges that it is to Mr. Taylor's writings he is indebted for any sound or correct knowledge he now possesses of the sub jects of money and currency ; and his book professes to be no more than a digest or compendium of Mr. Taylor's doctrines. The leading doctrines of Mr. Taylor are, that gold is simply a commodity, dependent for its value on the same laws which regulate er determine the value of all other commodities ; that is, the labour or cost of its production, and its scarcity or abundance in relation to other commodities ; that labour being estimated in corn, corn therefore becomes the standard of value, whereas gold, is mer.'ly the measure of value ; that the relation betwixt gold, silver, and corn is as one ounce of gold to fifteen ounces of silver, each being equal to 21/ 2 quarters of wheat, but that if the corn be taxed this rela tion is destroyed ;:for instance, if five dwts. of gold, or a sovereign, and five bushels oT wheat be natural equiva lents, and a tax of 20 per cent. be laid on the wheat, that then, if gold be not appreciated in proportion to the taxation, the sovereign will now come to purchase or exchange for 245. worth of wheat in place of 20s. worth; that hence the depreciation of the pound of account during the war, in place of having been an evil, as all our political economists have considered it, was an excel lence, as it only preserved the equation which gold pro perly bore to all other commodities, enhanced as these were by indirect taxation ; and that therefore the appre ciation of the " stlndard," as it is falsely called, by Peel's Bill of 1819, has inflicted incalculable mischief on all the industrious and productive classes of the country, by preventing the necessary rise in prices, and so throwing the whole burden of taxation on their shoulders, and, by the low prices, doubling and trebling the incomes of all those who live by the taxes, rents, annuities, interest, and other fixed burdens of the country. Mr. Crawford illustrates this by the following note : " The secret lies here : the aggregate quantity of money has been gradually lessened during the existence of Peel's monetary policy; but the quantity composing each aliquot part of which the while is composed, has not, at the same time, been lessened. The pound, or unit of account, is kept at 5 dwts. (3 grains), whatever the aggregate quantity of gold may be. For the sake of illustration, suppose 100 to represent the whole gold or bullion which forms the basis of the circulation-5 dwts., or a sovereign, being the unit, and therefore the 100th part of the whole; but suppose bullion reduced by a foreign drain 20 per cent, or to 80, the 100th part would then no longer be 5 dwts., it would only be 4 dwts. But we fix the unit, and therefore in the case sup posed the 5 dwts. are raised from the 100th to the 80th part; that is, it is enhanced in value 20 per cent. So that we money s ne e y e this p h o o w w e , r b m y ai t n h t i a s in j s u i g t g s l u e n joufsta ascendancy."for gold, the I whole question of the Currency, and after readin g it, paragraph Mr. Crawford has conde nsed the we should like to hear any man attempt to refute' the position that gold ought not to be fixed in its price, which Peel's law, either in folly or wickedness, has done. Mr. Crawford comes to the same conclusion as Sir James Graham does in his celebrated pamphlet en titled " Corn and Currency," when he says— " Since we must have a free trade in corn, let us have also a free trade in money, and destroy that fatal connexion be tween the Government and a single chartered bank, which facilitaies the prodigality of Ministers, and invests an irresponsible body with the most delicate and important function of the state—the control over the circulating medium." Sir James says—" Rescind Mr. Peel's Act, and restore the paper circulation to the highest level of the war and of 1817. The price of bullion would then rise, and the war standard of depreciation be distinctly indicated—that standard of the great mass of our debts and contracts, the measure of the rise of our greatest interests. We then might debase our metal standard to the precise level of the depreciated paper currency, and, having lowered our measure of value, adjust it to the existing interests and contracts created in paper money, and issue, for the ordinary purposes of circulation, coin of less intrinsic worth. But this is an indirect way of doing the same thing : it possesses eel the evils of delusion." Let Sir James, however, read the above paragraph we have quoted from Mr. Crawford, and we venture to say that he will no longer designate the depreciation of the pound of account in the degree of taxation a " delu sion.' He will see it is the only just and necessary way in which the equation of gold with other values can be preserved. Monetary reform we hold to be essential to carry out Sir Robert Peel's adopted free-trade policy with advantage to the country, and we have not the slightest doubt there will soon be as strong a popular agitation for free-trade in gold as there has been for free-trade in corn ; in fact, the monopoly of gold is a mere grievous monopoly than the monopoly of corn. Mr. Crawford's preliminary definitions of the terms wealth, capital, gold, silver, cash, money currency, standard of value and measure of value, and value and price, are the most accurate we have seen, and they must be great helps to all students of political economy. Tho work, in short, is an admirable compendium or digest of Mr. Taylor's writings, and we congratulate Mr. Taylor on having so able a commentator.

Notwithstanding these operations he was about falling a victim to this terrible complaint, when he commenced the rubbing in of Holloway's invaluable Ointment, and as ef fectually as salt is forced into meat; besides this, he took large doses of his wonderful Pills, which in nine weeks effected so extraordinary a cure as to enable him to walk twenty-five miles in one day.

THE TAY.—The opening of the rivers has been almost a.complete failure, from the great floods. But the salmon are taking the advantage of it ; and from appearances above the Bridge of Pei th, the oldest fisher never remem bers seeing so many large salmon ascend the river. We have it from good authority, that the fishermen of the Marquis of Breadalbane at Taymouth Castle, under the superintendence of Captain D. Dewar, caught twent'-four splendid salmon the first day, and the Tay (at the princely domains, is almost alive with salmon passing into Loch Tay in large shoals. The like was seldom or never seen before. The second day was much better, and altogether about sixty salmon were dispatched by steam to London on Wednesday. The effect of the tariff was felt very injuriously by the tacks men at the early part of the season. when high prices used to be obtained; but now the supply from Holland keeps the market down.—Perth Paper. THE SPEY.—The salmon-fishing commenced for the sea son on Monday morning ; and we understand that, on that day and Tuesday, the tak was in general pretty good. The market-price is at present 2s. 6d. per pound. Owing to the openness of the weather, but a small quantity of ice has yet, we believe, been secured for the use of the fisheries.—Aber deen Journal. TILE NESS.—The ralmon-fishing for the season commenced on Monday. Mr. Tait, the enterprising lessee of the Ness fishings, captured four salmons on that day, and four more on Tuesday. They were all sold at 2s. 6d. per pound. From appearances it is expected that the ensuing season will be a prosperous one. Meantime the river is too high to ensure much success.—lnverness Courier. TILE Dous.—The close season having terminated on Satur day, Monday became the " opening day ;" and such an open ing day has not been witnessed for many years back.—Ayr Observer. THE TWEED.—The salmon fisheries nortk of the Tweed opened on Monday week. Those in the Tweed and south thereof opened on Monday the 16th ult. The fisheries in the Tweed have never been better protected than during this close time ; and from large quantities offish seen in the bay, the season is expected to be a good one. Owing to the open state of the weather, there has not been as yet a single cart load of ice housed for the use of the fisheries at Berwick. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

FOREIGN REFINED S UGA R.—The Lords Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury have issued an order permit ting foreign refined sugar to be removed from the bonding houses in London, for the purpose of being crashed for ex portation only, to premises appropriated to that especial purpose, in the St. Katherine and the London Docks; and the Customs' authorities having had under their consideration this order of their Lordships, as to the most proper means to be adopted for carrying the same into effect, have given directions that the privilege granted by the Treasury is to be carried into effect under the fol lowing regulations, viz. :—That the removal of the sugars do take place either in charge of revenue officers, to accom pany the same to the crashing floors, at the expense of the merchant, or in proper vans, to be provided for that purpose, and secured under the locks of the Crown. That the weight of the sugar intended to be crashed shall in each instance be ascertained at the period of its delivery from the warehouse for removal, and again on the same being packed (after crash ing) for exportation, in order to guard against any deficien cies that may arise in the transit, or in the operation of crash ng, and to assess the parties on whose requisition such removals took place with the amount of the duties on such defici• encies. That the shipment of the sugar be made direct from the floor where the crashing took place, or from other bonded warehouses in the same docks, and that the same on exportation be described in the cockets and other official documents as foreign refined sugar, in order to guard against its introduction abroad as sugar which has been re fined or manufactured in the United Kingdom. This order of the Lords of the Treasury, and the regulations under which it is to be permitted and observed, have been com municated to the several departments, with directions to take care that the same be duly carried into effect from the present time. It may be seen that this order does not allude to sugar imported into this country in a raw state and re fined here for importation, but to sugar of foreign refining or manufacturing. brought in a completely refined or finished state, and which requires to be crashed or pounded for the purpose of suiting particular markets abroad. The importa tion of refined sugar is confined chiefly to Holland, who ars our great competitors in that particular branch of trade, although from the high rate of duty attaching, it is for ex portation to foreign markets, and is brought here merely in the way of transit to other foreign countries. PUNCH'S RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. Among the railways that have complied with the standing orders, is the " John o'Groat and Land's End Junction, with Branches to Ben Lomond and Battersea, and an Extension from Panyer Alley to Peterloo Direct." The standing orders consisted of an order to stand anything that the chairman liked to call for at the bar of the house where the company holds its meetings. We understand that the secretary of one of the new lines was upset in a cab with all the plans, which were accordingly thrown out, and the papers are in the position of dropped notices. The traffic on the Kensington Railway, as taken from the bed-room window of the house opposite, has consisted of a ton and a half of coals and a load of gravel. The pedestrian traffic of boys up and down the line is some what increasing. A dividend has just been declared of the cabbages grown on the bank. The policeman took one half, and the secretary the other. We are happy to see that there is to be an extension of the line of lettuces, which will be carried further north, till they join the trunk of the old beech-tree at the corner. FALL OF RAIN IN JANUARY AT MANCHESTER.—Last month was one of the wettest Jannaries we have had for some years past. The temperature was never below 30 degrees, and so low only on the 2d and sth of the month. The total fall of rain during the month was 3-57 inches, of which 3.05 inches feel on the last thirteen daye of the month. Only in three instances In the last seventeen years was January last exceeded in the -uantity of rain. In the Ja nuary of 1834 the temperature was remarkably high, never having fallen below 37 degrees; in January, 1835, the principal fall of rain _ . . was in the two middle weeks of themonth, with a high temperature. and very nearly the same quantity fell as inlast month. In 1840 the temperature was high; and of the total quantity of rain that fell. 1.5 inch fell in the third, and 2.5 inches in the fourth week. In Ja nuary, 1843, the temperature after the second was never below 30 degrees; and this was the month of the heavy storm; indeed the month was stormy throughout. On Friday, the 13th, the violent storm occurred between three and six o'clock in the morning ; and at an early hour in the morning the barometer stood and eleven inforenoon to 27.90, the lowest poi nt2B degrees, tenths of an inch of rain fell during that a day. by Ina/whey year s er a ; h and Guard ain ian e . - SE RIOUS ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE OF GENERAL Tont THEACll.—During one of the public levees of the re nowned General Tom Thumb, in the Trades Hall, at Airdrie. en Monday night last, a large portion of the floor gave way with an awftil crash, and precipitated some 300 men, women, and children, into the room below, a distance of fourteen feet. The scene of c•n • fusion and excitement, mingled with the groans and sereechings of the suffering and affrighted multitude, can scarcely be imagined. About 1,000 persons were in the hall, but fortunately, and strange to nt to h w : : Gth , e h ne s er d flaw a rg l r e s g wu b iht r ei o: hw e e n free , l a l nd several other say, no death was occasioned by the accident.

W e are n happy to add that the General took immediate steps for alleviating. in a pecuniary point of view, the injuries of all the sufferers whose circumstances in life would render a loss of time a serious inconve nience to themselves. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN A PAPER MILL.--Yester day afternoon an accident, attended with most frightful results, occurred to a young man, stained William Trontor, aged nineteen. Which it is feared will terminate fat ally. The poor fellow was en gaged in an extensive paper-mill at Footscray, Kent, and whilst cleaning the machinery his left leg slipped in the cogwheels, and before the mill could be stopped, his left leg was literally crushed it pieces. He was extricated with some difficulty and removed t the neare st surgeon's, who advised his immediate conveyance to St. Thomas's Hospital. He was promptly attended by the house-surgeon, but the injuries he had sustained were so great that it was deemed indispensably necessary to amputate the limb. The poor youth bore the operation with the greatest fortitude, and at eight o'clock last night he was progressing as favourably as could be expected, RECRUITING IN THE NORTH.—Recruiting parties arc now actively engaged in all the manufacturing towns in Lanca shire, in beating up for recruits, and the bounty having been re cently considerably increased, large numbers are daily joining the ranks. • —;.,•••• THE LATE ASSASSINATION IN DRURY-LANE.—YeS terday forenoon, at eleven o'clock, Mr. H.

Pitt-place, Drury-lane, who WAS shot by Thomas Wm. Wicks, his apprentice, early on the morning of Monday last. The evidence ad duced yesterday was precisely the same as that already given in our Bow-street police report. The Coroner summed up in a very able manner, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Thomas Wm. Wicks,' who is already committed to take his trial for the murder. RUBINI.—We are enabled to set at rest the vexed question as to the re-appearance of the prince of tenors.

THE FIRES AT LIVERPOOL,...n vFFIC!IL RETURN OF THE LOSSES.—The fires that happened on Tuesday and Wednesday, at Liverpool, were the most destructive that have occurred in the town for the last two years. The destruction of property is esti mated at about 65,000/. The warehouse burned down on Tuesday was insured for 2,5001. in the Imperial Fire-offi ce , an d goods therein in the Royal Liverpool (a new office), Sun, Phcenia, Alliance, North British, Leeds and Yorkshire, Manchester, London Union, and Lon don Insurance Offices. The second warehouse destroyed (that known as Rawlinson's), also situate in th e G ore, was i nsu red in the Royal Liverpool office for 3,700/., and the contents for 36, 0001 . The owners are insured in all the above offices, as also in the Guardian and others, their names not ascertained. The Royal Insurance Office (Liverpool) is the heaviest sufferer by th e nre, to the extent, it is stated, of 20,0001. The other offices are sufferers in the following proportions :—Phoenix, 9,0000.

At seventeen years of age (thirty-four years ago) I was denounced, and " lost caste," as a Jacobin, before the word Radical was known politically, for in veighing, with the vehemence of youth, against drawing poor men for the militia and pressing them for sailors, to fight for rich men's property. I gloried in the title, though it involved civil martyrdom, and" the old Radical Dr. Webb," is still the same. Radical as I am, I have always opposed political economists and (so-called) free-trade measures, from Peel's Currency Bill to his last and present Corn-law and Tariff, thinking him a " bullion" statesman, whore only ob ject was to grind down the price of goods, the profits of land lords, farmers, and tradesmen, and, by the new Poor-law, the money and labour wages of the working classes, for the benefit of all fixed incomes, the fundholders, placemen, and pensioners of all sorts. With these opinions, I rather wished "Rous" success, as the lesser of two evils. You very consistently prefer " Peel," who can and will carry a broad measure of free trade (quasi), to " Evans" and the Whigs, who talk broader but can carry nothing; and therefore the out-and-out protectionists try to overthrow Peel, which the result of the Westminster election will greatly aid to accom plish. You are also quite right about naval reform. With regard to abstract principles, Liberal or Radical, they were not at issue in this election, or very slightly, as Rous is a Conservative and Evans only a Whig-Radical. The ad dress of the latter said nothing of universal suffrage, or any other Radical or really liberal point. Any Whig, or even Tory, might have written such an address. The small num ber that voted shows how little the real Liberals cared for either the Gallant General or Captain, and that the electors of Westminster have not forgotten " Hobhouse" and " Evans" on the House and Window-tax question. Hoping you may always be as well able to justify your writing as at present, I am, Sir, your constant reader and general admirer, R. T. WEBB, Surgeon. 18, Wyndham-street, Bryanston-square, Feb. 19. MR. HIM§ON'S SPEECH. • TO THE EDITOR -OF 7'HE SUN. Sin,—l observe that the King of the Railways trtn i foken on the corn-law question. It appears to me that if he had devoted to Lindley Murray a little of the time he took to ascertain the price corn might be at in 1849, the result would have been happier. However, when "he recollects that in 1837 he was able to deliver corn, free of all charges, at 255. per quarter," let him be candid enough (if he should again address the House) to say what kind of corn it was. If lam correctly informed, it was Mediterranean corn, and of such a quality as to be titter for pigs than human beings. With as little disturbation to his Majesty's equanimity as possible, I am, &c. OLD EBOR. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S LETTER TO THE INHABITANTS OF SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. " Clumber, Feb. 17, 1846. " Gentlemen—ln addressing' you on the present occasion, lam quite aware of the unusualness of the proceeding. For the last ten days I have noticed what has been passing in our county with indescribable pain and annoyance. It seems to me that the time has more than arrived when a period ought to be put to the discord which now agitates us. I deeply lament that any member of my family should be the cause of this most unnecessary agitation. I have most deeply to lament it for still more serious reasons than because it creates odious quarrels, feverish convulsions, expense, and ex treme inconvenience among yourselves. Lord Lincoln has been the deluded victim of bad counsel, and in no instance more conspicuously than in the course which he has pursued upon the present occasion. " Under this influence he has been induced to accept an inferior office, that his seat may be vacated, and a desperate experiment attempted. He suddenly appeared among you, before you could be aware of the transaction. He does this, as he tells you, that he may make an appeal from the pro tection meeting to the whole constituency. By this surprise he has been enabled to ascertain the undisguised and almost universal feelings and opinions of this important county. " Doubtless it was expected that tha constituency would be found to possess easy consciences, and that the public voice would be raised in favour of free trade, and the other newly-disclosed enormities of Sir Robert Peel's Government, although we have neither asked for nor desire free trade, nor any other vicious and revolutionary system. But why should any one from authority be sent as a Govern ment emissary to force upon us opinions which we hate, and the country hates and deprecates with in dignant hostility,—and why should any one, fortified with Government means, presume to operate the disgraceful seduc tions which are said to be used upon this lamentable occa sion—and why are you to be drilled into the adoption of the ruinous principles and fatal doctrines at which you now naturally shudder and reccil? Our worthy farmers are sturdy and clear-sighted, and your phalanx is not to be broken by bold axioms, artful assertions, or any other evil appliances. " Still, however, the move has been made ; and although we may justly condemn it as a very great mistake, there may be some shadew of pretence for it, if it were intended by the experiment to test the public opinion. Now, how ever, that it has been in a course of most diligent trial for ten days, that the fullest proof has been elicited, and the result known to be totally adverse to the new doctrines, and un successful to the deceived advocate of them, in the sincerity of my heart, and as a member of the constituency, I suggest to Lord Lincoln the propriety of withdrawing from an use less and to all most painful struggle against a long-tried and approved principle and policy, and at once to restore tran quillity to the county, and the undisturbed possession of its unquestionable convictions. " In the anxious hope that this address may meet with your approval, and that the appeal may not be made in vain, I remain, Gentlemen, your . sincere and faithful ser vant, " NEWCASTLE. " W. Dearden, printer, Carlton-street, Nottingham." MONEY MARKET and CITY NE W S CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The resolution of the Bank Directors, adverted to yesterday, by which the period of loans is extended to the 9th ofApril, has had a tranquillising effect on the Money market ; and as they haYe felt sufficient confidence in their own position with the railway depositors to take this step, people begin to look to the future with a more cheerful feel ing than for several days past. Some of the railway companies are beginning to make efforts for establishing a better system in regard to these deposits, and petitions to the House of Commons are prepar ing for an amendment of the Act by which they are regu lated, so as to allow railway deposits to be lent at interest in any way that may be shown to be compatible with the safe custody of them. One of these petitions alleges that funds of the company to a large amount were invested in the months of September and October last in Government securities, and that they were compelled, in order to make the required pay ments to the Accountant-General in January, to sell them out at a considerable loss ; all which might have been avoided without lessening the degree of security or responsibility, had a different system of receiving these deposits prevailed ; and it prays, in order to avoid the recurrence of such losses to this and other companies similarly situated. that the Act may be amended, or a short Act passed to permit the de posits to be placed at interest with any bank established by royal charter or incorporated by Act of Parliament. No thing can be more reasonable than such petitions, though they come too late, it is to be feared, for any essential ser vice. They should have been thought of immediately on the assembling of Parliament. From the report of the proceedings in the House of Com mons yesterday, it may be inferred that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not adverse to some modification of the Act since, (m the motion of Mr. Moffat for leave to bring in a Bill for that purpose, he stated that he would not oppose its introduction, though he did not bind himself to support its details. INCREASE IN THE NAVY ESTIDIATES.—Tbe navy estimates for 1846-47, which have Just been laid on the table on the House of Commons, amount to 7,476,9531., being an increase the charge of the yea 1846 of 533,23., the last votefor the financ 3 ear 1845-46, being fo r r 6,943,7201. Of this sum thn_e a t e total for th e naval it e ~ service is 6,544,28 81 , for the p receding year 6,011,5961. The difference, however, between the amount required for the strictly naval service this year as compared with the last is greater even than appears from these figures, the amount required for packet service having in each year been deducted from the total amount required for the naval service, in each year In order to get at the not amount. The charge for the Packet service in 1845-46, was 164,2721., which was deducted ftom 6,175,8681., in order to show the net amount, whereas the estimates for the packet service for 1846-47 is only 128,5931., which is deducted from 6,672,8811., the total required for the naval service of the year 1846-47. The great increase is the estimate for effective service, the charge for which in 1845-46 was 4,790,6641., while the estimate for 1846-47 is 5,324,5631. In the estimate for non-effective service there is a slight decrease, the charge for 1845-46 having been 1,385,2041., while the estimate for 1846-47 is for 1,348,318/. In the estimate for the service of other departments there is a very slight Increase -for the ensuing year it is 804,0721., while for the last year the charge was 767,8521.
