PRIVY COUNCIL—No summonses for a Council for the reception of the seals of office from the mem bers of the late Administration have yet been issued, but it is expected that her MAJESTY Will hold a Privy Council on Monday next, when the new Ministers will be formally installed into office by the delivery of their respective seals. Sir ROBERT PEEL is expected to arrive in town on Monday next, from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. After an extraordinary existence of seven years and nine months, the Anti-Corn-law League has been dissolved ; constituted in the September of 1838, it has ceased to exist in the July of 1846 Although the word " conditionally" is introduced in the an nouncement of its dissolution yesterday, we feel authorised to regard the career of this wonderful association as altogether terminated, because we coincide in the opinion so em phatically expres .ed by the illustrious representa tive of Stockport, who declared that " it would be as well to attempt to abolish Magna Charta, or to do away with trial by jury, or to repeal the Act for the Emancipation of the Catholics, or to abrogate the Reform Act itself, as to endeavour to re-enact the system of corn-laws in this country." So impressed are we by this: conviction that we cannot even picture to ourselves the possibility of entertaining sentiments of trepidation as to the ulterior and unrestricted realisation of commercial freedom ; and that not simply in wheat and barley, but in every com modity which human industry can cultivate or human ingenuity devise. As rationally might an emanci pated prisoner dread the renewal of his captivity when his manacles are shivered to atoms, his dungeon de stroyed, and his gaolers paralysed. It is, therefore, with unmixed feelings of exultation that we be hold the disbandment of that mighty organisa tion, through the instrumentality of which the irk someness of monopoly and the grinding influences of unnecessary taxation have for ever been removed from the population of Great Britain. We behold its dis bandment with unmixed exultation, because it is the most fitting guarantee that the greatest social refor mation of perhaps any century has been fully accom plished, and this without compromise, chicanery, intimidation, or any - of those vulgar weapons of assault which are sometimes employed against a constitution. In the annals of that memorable body which has just consummated the object of its original creation, one circumstance of its existence, one con comitant of its power, one illustrative phase of its character, will ever assume to itself in the memory of these stirring times an especial prominence and an undecaying lustre. It will be seen and acknow ledged hereafter, that for the subversion of an in famous system, and for the substitution of one more consonant with the dictates of morality and justice, the whole armour of the League, both offensive and defensive, was REASON. From the first unpropitious meetings of the miniature junto of free-traders in that miserable room at Manchester, when a " dingy little red curtain was drawn across the chamber" to pre vent any chilling effects from being experienced, in consequence of the paucity of the numbers present, up to the final meeting of yesterday, the League has ever persisted in that undeviating course of wisdom, and sobriety, and consistency, and legality, and thoughtfulness, and intellectual pertinacity, the combination of which characteristics have left this association without any parallel in the history of nations, or in traditionary records of the people. No eulogium, however grandiloquent, could exceed the abstract merits of this remarkable body; but we conceive that mere wordy panegyrics would be but little in accordance with the principles by which it has been throughout actuated, and through which it should ever be contemplated. Its noblest enco miums are inscribed in the minutes of its proceed ings, in the dignified and rational eloquence of its orators, in their unflinching earnestness, their inimit able integrity, and their exceeding disinterestedness. Did we abandon ourselves to the utterance of those emotions which animate both ourselves and the population at large in speaking of VILLIHRS, Bow- RINd, BRIGHT, WILSON, THOMPSON, but, above all, in mentioning the name of RICHARD COBDEN, we should be tempted to an extension of our remarks al together incompatible with propriety. Nor can we induce ourselves to imagine than any ob servations of such a character are requisite, believing as we do in that picturesque and beautiful truth whic h was pronounced by the Member for Stockport, that "though the body of the League will perish, its spirit is abroad, and will pervade all the nations of the earth." It has embued the whole woof of society with its tinge, it has inoculated the community with a healthy abhorrence of legislative injustice, whether social, commercial, or religious. It has performed its lofty and onerous duties without the bandying of a single vituperation, without eliciting amongst the members of its association one angry sentiment, without an eye to emolument or a thought of extortion. It has revolutionised the coun try without shedding a drop of blood ; it has pursued its solemn and triumphant course peaceful amidst the storms and calm amidst the bickerings of furious and relentless contention. Honour, then, to the manes of the League, and honour to those noble patriots who, by their oratory, their integrity, and their bravery, have contributed so effectually to the realisa tion of free-trade measures. It is gratifying to ob serve the resolution of the Committee of the League to present a testimonial of 10,0001. to Mr. GEORGE Wil.§ost, for the extraordinary exertions and abilities which he has 4 1 4 played throughout th e existence of thi s association as its chairman, to the detriment of his pri- Yato fortunes, and the incalculable advantage of the League, Having thus far performed an act of com mon honeaty in regard to one of our public bene factors, it remains to us to tender to a still loftier patriot and a still more national and world-wide benefactor a tribute of love, and veneration, and gra titude. One hundred thousand pounds are now in - co urse of being collecte d for p resentation to Iticnain ~t F,~ THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 1 M&, COBDEN. Men of England ! remember his services— they have been yours and the world's ! In consequence of the elevation of Lord FRANCIS EGERTON to the earldom of Ellesmere a vacancy has occurred in the representation of South Lan cashire. Nothing could by possibility have trans pired of a political character just at this remarkable juncture more likely to arouse the interest and arrest the attention - of all classes throughout the country than an election for any constituency ; but that interest and that attention are of a three fold intensity now that the election occurs in the very centre of the hot-bed of the free-traders, namely, in the greatest of the manufac turing districts. Every one will turn with a peculiar anxiety to the nomination and the accept ance of the candidate, and this because through this election of a representative may be discerned the sen timents with which the people regard the recent alter ations in the commercial code. It will be seen from _ _ the principles advocated by the successful candidate whether those changes are regarded with stolid indif ference—whether they have met with the approbation or the indignation of the populace. If, indeed, this moral experiment, by which the popular emotions will, to a certain extent, be gauged—if, we say, this experi ment cannot be regarded as universally applicable to the entire community, but simply as indicative of the feelings rife in one quarter of the kingdom alone, it will nevertheless continue to be a matter of extreme importance to observe the results of the first experi ment. It will be the text from which we may very rationally deduce the corollary. With regard to our selves, we entertain of course but a single opinion as to the consequences of the approaching county election ; we anticipate, as a sane mind can alone anticipate, that the electors will eagerly avail themselves of the opportunity here afforded them to testify their gratitude for the glorious boon con ferred upon them by the Legislature; and, as a constitutional act, to return only such a can didate as coincides to the uttermost in the decision of the most renowned statesman in existence, and the most liberal-minded Parliament that has sat for years within the walls of St. Stephen's. Already we re cognise the existence of the determination in the enfranchised portion of the inhabitants of South Lancashire. We recognise this in the circumstance of the deputation which waited upon a most respected and intelligent free-trader of Liverpool, the deputation conveying to that gentle man requisitions from Liverpool and Manchester, signed by upwards of 9,000 voters, requesting him to become a candidate for the vacant seat. That re quisition was reluctantly acceded to, and that candi date is Mr. WlLtaam BuowN, of Liverpool. A name which has already acquired for itself a considerable share of attention, and no inconsiderable portion of respect, throughout Great Britain, from its frequent recurrence in the reports of the monster meetings at Manchester, in opposition to the departed corn-laws, requires no prefix in the shape of a complimentary adjective. Besides which, the insignificant majority by which Mr. BROWN was defeated upon a former occasion has rendered him a familiar candidate amongst the Lancashire con stituency. From the letter which this gentleman has addressed to the electors of the southern portion of the county, we are, however, peculiarly gratified to observe that a liberal policy towards Ire land is particularised as one of his most cherished principles. It is undoubtedly but an additional proof that, now so many restrictions are removed from commerce, our Legislators will have bath lei sure and inclination to advance the interests of that heretofore afflicted island. But, beyond this, it betokens an inclination, on the part of Mr. BROWN, to extend the liberality of his poli tical views beyond the frontiers of trade and beyond the influences of the monetary department. In doing so he has displayed his competency to represent such a constituency as that of South Lancashire ; his competency is, that he keeps pace with the onward spirit of this generous and remarkable age, and that he displays boldness as well as honesty in the expres sion of his political opinions. A noble tribute may now be paid to the late Premier, Sir R. PEEL, to Mr. COBDEN, and to the memory of the League. This tribute will be a worthy expression of their gratitude and of their satisfaction—it is none other than the return of Mr. WILLIAM BROWN as their representative. We yesterday alluded to the report of the Select Com mittee on Railways of the House of Lords, so far as the same related to the change contemplated in the standing orders of both Houses, and entirely approved of the suggestions offered for the diminution of expense, and at the same time for affording a more direct and better protection to the proprietors of properties about to be interfered with, than that which they have hitherto enjoyed. In this respect the improvement will be entirely fur the benefit of the promoters of the various schemes, and of the owners of the lands interfered with thereby. The next suggestion is, however, of immeasurably greater consequence to the public at large, as being calculated to put a stop to the gam bling in scrip, which has been carried on during the past year to such a fearful extent, and to check the unlimited projection of new lines of railway, which were frequently got up, not merely for the purpose of selling them to other companies with which they might compete, as stated by the Com mittee in their report, but also for the mere purpose of bringing out the scrip at a premium, so as to allow a considerable profit to the managing com mittee, and to enable the solicitor to secure the pay ment of a large and exorbitant bill of costs, and to provide a comfortable situation for some unemployed gentleman as secretary. The history of the rise and progress of the Great Glenmutchkin Railway, so graphically delineated in the pages of Blackwood, does not present an overdone picture of what has ac tually taken place in too many instances. Like the ra zors which were made not to shave but to sell, railways were projected which were never for a moment in tended to be brought before Parliament, and the only object of which was to secure a considerable sum for the projectors from the pockets of the public. In such cases it was easy to assure the public that the gradients were easy, and the line presented no engineering difficulties whatever ; viaducts exceeding considerably the height of the monument, tunnels of three or four miles in length were looked on as matters of the most trivial consequence. The prospectus was prepared with an exuberance of fancy and a depth of colouring that cast into the shade the most glowing description from the pen of GEORGE ROBINS, for while the latter should be, as novelists term it, founded on facts, the railway pro jector scorned to be bound by any such vulgar tram mels, being well assured that a very small proportion of the applicants for shares would seek any informa tion beyond that afforded by the prospectus, but, blinded by the prospect of the large gains held forth, would hasten to sign the forms of applica tion for shares. The men with capital, who really sought an investment, were seldom able to obtain an allotment, and could only become interested by purchasing the letters of allotment at a considerable premium in the market. When the bubbles burst a general distrust and panic set in, and the well-considered and prudent undertakings, by which much public benefit would have been secured, were involved in the ruin and the crash that ensued ; the very plans which had been intended to act as a check to such speculation and a security to the public, viz., the provisional registration and the payment of a deposit, were found to have had a contrary effect, the first giving, as stated by the Committee, apparently the same importance and foundation to a fraudulent scheme as to a sound one, and the other affording to the projectors the means of securing themselves against many of the liabilities which they might incur in attempting to carry out, for their own ends, the most worthless schemes—we may add, and also giving them a fund, by the un principled and reckless use of which, in what was termed rigging the market, they were enabled to force the shares up to a premium, and thus to attain the only object which induced them to take a part in the proceeding. The Committee have suggested two courses for the purpose of correcting this evil,—the one to render the sale of scrip before the regular formation of the company invalid, and to require that the original allottee should, either by himself, or, in the event of his death or bankruptcy, by his representative, be alone admissible as the shareholder until after the first call shall have been paid— the other to legalise the transfer of scrip, and to require, in every instance, a registration of the purchaser, and his substitution in place of the vendor. The Committee prefer the fir,t of these plans, and we think with justice. No one would then venture to apply for shares unless be could afford to lie out of the deposit for a considerable time, and no project would obtain subscribers unless its chances of succes3, and of yielding a fair return for the capital to be expended in its construction, bad been fully investigated and inquired into. The Committee have come to the conclusion, that it is absolutely necessary that some department of the Executive Government so constituted as to command general respect and confidence should be charged with the supervision of railways and canals, with full power to enforce such regulations as may from time to time appear indispensable for the accommodation and general interests of the public. The vast im portance:of the railways already made, or about to be carried into execution, the large amount of capital in vested therein, and the great extent to which the public are interested in the management thereof, loudly demands the creation of such an authority, which should be armed with sufficient power, and responsible for its due and proper discharge. To this board it is proposed that all propositions for any railway sche►ne should, in the first instance, be sub mitted, with a general statement of its objects and advantages, together with such evidence of the capa bility and boi,a fide intentions of the promoters as might be deemed a sufficient guarantee for them to sanction further proceedings. They might then, if they pleased, give an autho rity for the survey of the intended line, requiring security by the deposit of a sum of money, as an in demnity for any injury that might be inflicted during the progress of the survey. On the completion of the plan and section, the Board might enter into all the preliminary inquires rendered necessary as to standing orders, important in a public point of view, practicability, interference with private property, and the means which might be adopted to obviate the objections of the proprietors of land to be interfered with, &c. &c. The result of these investigations might then be laid before Par• lament, so as to save much time to the Legislature and expense to the parties applying for Bills, without any undue interference with the paramount powers of Parliament and its sole adjudica tion as to the rights of property. Should these suggestions be carried into execution, many valuable improvements will doubtless be effected in the entire system of railways throughout the country, and if the proposed Board should be con stituted, the Earl of DArmousrE, who has exhibited such knowledge and judgment in all matters relating to the railway business of the country, will, we doubt not, be unanimously pointed out by public opinion as ;s most fitting head. Letters have been received from Rome which state that the report of the death of Cardinal MICARA is unfounded. He is still alive, although suffering severely from illness. It appears that he was taken so ill before entering the Conclave that he could not proceed to the chapel where the ballot took place, but gave his vote in his cell. The States-General of Lower Austria met for the first time on the 231 of June, at Vienna. The following measures are to be submitted to their consideration : -Ist.

Madrid papers of the 26th have arrived. They contain intelligence from Lisbon of the 22d. The Miguelite rebels had been defeated and completely dispersed by the. troops sent against them. It was re ported at Madrid that the QUEEN would, in a short time, visit either Barcelona or the Basque Provinces. The Prince DE JOIN VILLE, with the squadron under his command, sailed, on the 23d, from Palma, the capital of Majorca, for Tunis.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. English questions continue exclusively to occupy the attention of the French political writers. The Mi nisterial crisis is the general subject of comment, and it is admitted on all hands that the task undertaken by Lord Jour; RUSSELL is most difficult. The Presse, without waiting for the publication of the articles of the Oregon treaty, concludes that by consenting to it, England has consented " to make a sacrifice of interest and national vanity the most humiliating that had ever been imposed on her inor dinate ambition !" The writer endeavours to throw discredit upon England, and to minister to the prejudice of the war party in Franceby the following observations : "Did not time fail us, we should have only to search the annals of the diplomacy on the Oregon question to find terms sufficiently explicit, delivered from the mouths of English negotiators, to mark the condemnation of the treaty of which Lord Aberdeen has now taken the initiative. We should discover that in 1827 Mr. Gallatin made an ofier of the 49th degree, granting to England the navigation of the Columbia river. Both Mr. Huskisson and Mr. Addington rejected this partition, which nevertheless would have given to Great Britain all the territory she will now gain, and have had insured to her for ever that community of navigation which is now conceded her for a limited number of years only. Thus, the English Ministry of 1846 has not only accepted, but even demanded, less than that which was refused by the English Ministry of 1827. But what need have we to go back into times past to seek fur comparisons? Cannot we find some equally extraordinary and significative in the course of the negotiations that have been carried on during the presidency of Mr. Polk, and in which the two Governments have had for their champions the same diplomatists as have been in trusted with drawing up this treaty of partition? Are not the terms, in fact, identically similar to those which were proposed by Mr. Buchanan in October or November last, and rejected by Mr. Pakenham, to whom they appeared to be so contrary to good faith and equity (these are his own words) that he would not even submit them to his Government? The American Secretary of State had, by order of Mr. Polk, offered the line of the 49th degree, with common right of entrance into the Straits of Fuca. Now these are the two fundamental conditions of the treaty, the conclusion of which we have hereafter to announce. To these condi tions, it is certainly true, there are added, for the benefit of the Hudson's Bay Company, the temporary navigation of the Columbia. But is it not evident that this, like the question of expropriation and indemnity, is only a secondary accessory interest which Mr. Polk could not oiler, but which he would have as readily granted six months ago as .he has to-day, had it been asked for. The English Govern ment will, no doubt, endeavour to shelter its diplomacy under the small fragment of land through the concession of which it has become the sole and legitimate sovereign of Vancouver's Island. This however, will be a puerile justifi cation, because the acquisition cf that part of the island, which lies between the 49th degree and the Straits of Fuca, can have no other result than the giving it as a right of boundary the navigation of the straits which Mr. Polk had offered in perpetuity, as a concession, over a territory which would have remained American. In short, the solution at tributed to the Oregon question is nothing more than a com plete retrogradation of Great Britain upon a ground in which there was danger of war in case she should refuse to suffbr herself to be forced back within the limits imperiously marked out by the Federal Union. This solution is a first, though i pacific triumph for America in her rivalry with Great Britain, a triumph much more precious for the one, and compromis ing for the other, than if it had been the fruit of a sanguinary and disastrous war, because it teaches not only America, but France, and indeed the whole world, that it requires only to show a bold countenance and use big words to compel Great Britain to concede through prudence what would be de manded in vain from her justice The Presse is generally considered to speak the sentiments of Count Mor,r, and it would appear that, undismay e d by his signal defeat last year, the Count is aga i n intriguing a gainst M. GUIZOT, and that by these a tt ac ks upon England he hopes to pro cure the assi s ta n ce of the re publicans and Buona partists in drivi ng M. GUIZOT from office, and in bringing about hi s favourite project of an alliance in opposition to British between France and Russia, interests. On Tuesday the French Chamber of Peers passed the credits for Algiers. In the course of the dis cussion the Count DE MONTALE MBE RT, in energetic language, denounced the conduct of Marshal BUGEAUD and General rELISSIER, and said that the late outbreak in Algiers a nd the massacre of the prisoners by ADD-EL-KADER m ight all be traced to the atrocities of Dahra.

Money, the interest whereof is included annually in the Parliamentary estimates, and is applicable to the pay ment of prize claims; and when the amount thereof, in ad dition to other sums received on the same account during the year, exceeds the claims paid, the balance is taken by the Paymaster-General as an appropriation in his accounts. The difference between the above balance, viz., 3,9721. 3s. 10jd. and the 100,000/. Stock in the Three per Cent.

LAMENTABLE DEATH OF A MEDICAL STUDENT. — Yesterday Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., and a highly-respectable jury, assembled at the Cock Tavern, Phoenix-street, Claren . don-square, Somers-town, to prosecute an investigation into the lamentable circumstances attending the death of blr• George Francis Webb, lately residing in the above street. The deceased gentleman, who was in his 26th year, was medical student. Mr. G. Olive, of Soho-square, said that be was distantly related to the deceased, and last saw him afiv/ on Monday, the 29th ult. Witness knew that he had liver' en very unhappy terms with his wife, and had formerly 0- hibited a very unsound state of mind. On that day he ex' pressed to witness a wish to go abroad, in a somewhat iit dr sponding manner, and intimated that he cared very Hs what became of him. Witness was aware that he had bee n in the habit of taking opium whenever depressed in s pirit* and also considered that he was labouring under some ape" cies of insanity. Mr. John Wrentmore, surgeon, stated this' on being called to attend deceased he found him lying oa the bed; there was a bottle by his side w hi c h h a d con tair , . morphia.

Th e carr i age i mmediately afterts6/ drove on, but a very short time bad e l apsed b efore an o f.' o f officer returned, and delivered to M. C u lli on , su b-p r efect r Corbeil, who had been in waiting for the King, the 0, woman's petition, in which were several pieces of gold, if„. te a were immediately delivered over to her. The petition s'" that she was a travelling pedlar, who had fallen sick a t. ol d public-house, and incurred a debt of Bf., which she O a _ not pay, and as a guarantee for which the publican bad if ij, tained her dog, who was her only companion and friel` fr , The fact was, she owed the publican 18f. 1 but she had.EL, in her purse, and she could not, she said, deceive the Nt'f f by asking for more than she actually wanted to pay debt. It is gratifying to add that the sub-pr e f ec t of Cor e' .. „ ascertained that the woman bore an excellent character . G alignani. or THE OBSTINATE BARBER.—We mentioned. to - n i j readers, some weeks ago, that th e w h o l e of the, pile of e' et buildings at the upper end of John-street and ?rinse's-sr r Ff u l was to be immediately pulled down, and th at a b e auir edifice, to be devoted to business purpose's, was to be real., on the site. The tenants of the respe c ti ve h o uses iv e ,o settled with, and they quitted the premis es forthwith , save one, an unflinching barber, who occupies a little AL', at the corner of John-street. The demoliti on o f the P.'; i g mises has gone on from day to day, but the barber reint„ fixed as his poles, for he has two of them elevated as 5"; ( 1 . , blems of that rigidity of determination on w hi c h Cesar P' o f himself when he spoke of the north star as emblemati c o t his resolution. The houses have been tumbled to heal ls h is rubbish, and four stories have b een t a k en f rom a b o ve head, but the barber has stood unmoved amidst the of rafters, the wreck of gables, a n d th e cras h o f bricPs Though his cabin has smoked like an Esquimau li p. from the stoppage of his chimney, though clouds of p' l l ,, verised mortar have swept past his doorway, and his 9 13 now reduced to a hut, is scarcely, save in front, be distinguished from the masses of ruin to which it aPP e ji o tains, still the barber has not been induced to strick ba poles.

The clerk of the Sheriffs' Court for the City of London handed in a document issued from that Court on a judgment, and applied under the Small Debts Act for an order of the Commissioner to enforce that judgment. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the document did not set forth the jurisdiction of the Court. The Clerk said that there could be no doubt of the juris diction of the Judge of the Sheriffs' Court to extend all over the City of London. The Learned ComasslONEß—No doubt he knows his own jurisdiction, but lam not bound or expected to know it. If I stirred in the matter, and the Court below bad no jurisdic tion, I should be laying myself open to an action. The Clerk said that it was shown in the record that the de fendant resided within the jurisdiction of the Sheriffs' Court. The CommissiorrEn—That is a mere suggestion on the re cord, which may, or may not, be true—suggestions on re cords are generally false. In the Exchequer, it was formerly set out that the debtor was indebted to our Sovereign Lord the King, which was not a fact; suggestions, therefore, went for nothing. The Clerk said that if his Honour would suggest what would be satisfactory evidence of the jurisdiction it should be adduced. The Learned COMMISSIONER would not , trouble himselt to suggest what was required. When paperi - we're put betkire him he would say whether he would act on them or not. He would not in this case. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.). 1 (Before Mr. Secondary JAntEs.) ERWOOD V. YOUNG. This was an action to recover the sum of 7/. 108., for a quarter's rent of apartments in Brownlow-street, Holborn. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. On the part of the plaintiff evidence was adduced that the defendant had occupied the apartments for eighteen months up to Lady-day last, and the rent was claimed for the last quarter. For the defendant, however, six receipts were put in, cover ing the whole of the period, but the latter had been altered, and it was contended was not in the writing of the plaintiff, but the evidence slightly went in the affirmative. Another paper was put in, being an unstamped receipt for 51., which was rejected as evidence. The Learned SECONDARY said it appeared to him that the question was a very simple one, and that was—whether the receipt was in the hand-writing of the plaintiff ? As all the receipts had been produced, it could only allude to the quar ter in dispute ; the paper for the 51. might probably have been for a sum paid on account, and that on the payment of the balance, the receipt, which was a stamped duplicate of the other, might have been altered. The jury almost immediately gave a verdict for defendant. The SECONDARY said that there could be very little doubt in the matter. This was the only case. REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sirs,--A correspondent of the Morning Advertiser signed "Alfred," calls on the people to erect by penny subscriptions, a statue of Sir Robert Peel, in the Royal Exchange, to com memorate the above glorious event, and complains that no other Liberal paper have advocated the same course. Now I like his penny subscription plan, on the principle that ss. from GO persons would look better than from one;_ yet I do not agree with him that it should be to Sir Robert Peel, for I beg to state, that while I highly appreciate and feel grateful for the unexampled boldness of that great man, in bringing forward and carrying this grand measure, I cannot see that he is entitled to the preference in the hearts of our countrymen. Then who is ? Why, not one man alone, but a body of men, and I think I am right in saying, aye, and the great mass of the people will also say, that it belongs to that wonderful society, the Anti-Corn-law League, who broke down the barriers of prejudice, and opened the people's eyes to the ad vantages of such a repeal ; but if there are honours to be given to one man more than another, I think the people of England have too much good sense to do other than bestow them to the man to whom the honours are due, and I quote from the Westminster Review of some months since (and Sir Robert himself has confirmed it), which points out that man. " And one at least of that body has won a larger measure of confidence and respect than perhaps was ever before awarded, both by friends and enemies, to the leader of a great enterprise. Calm, indefatigable, inflexible, with sin gleness of purpose, never diverted to the right hand or the left, shrinking from no fatigue, shunning no opponent, and never yielding to an antagonist an advantage in temper or argument, reasoning not for effect, but to produce conviction, and carrying conviction by communicating to the minds of others, with the evidence of plain facts in plain words, a belief in his own sincerity, the right champion appeared at the right time, the hour came and the man, the man without whom public opinion would even yet have been so unformed upon the fallacies of protection, that no Whig or Tory Ministry could have dared to propose more than a slight or temporary modification of the existing system. The man who has given to this generation, by the blessing which, without him, would not' have been realised till the next—and the honest thanks of all good men be given now, and hereafter the world's gratitude to Richard Cobden." When I call upon my countrymen, I call upon the people of the United Kingdom to come forward with their penny, and commemorate the event by erecting in the centre of the Royal Exchange a suitable monument, with a suitable tablet, to be deeply engraved with the names of those actors who have figured most in that great crusade, putting Cobden first, but allotting a conspicuous place on the same, for Sir Robert Peel, the then Prime Minister, who nobly sacrificed so much to bring their labours to a successful issue, thus showing the whole civilised world, from generation to generation, the men who were their great benefactors. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, MATTHEW. Southwark, July 2, 1846. MORTALITY OF THE METROPOLIS.—The total num ber of deaths registered in the metropolis during the week ending Saturday, June 27, was 890. Of this number, 834 were from disease, showing an increase in the number of deaths from disease, as compared with the preceding week, of 55. -- --- ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—Last evening the monthly meeting of the above club was held at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden, Lord A. Paget (the commodore) pre siding. The treasurer read the financial report from April to 30th June, which showed a balance in the hands of the treasurer of 574/. 13s. 4d. A motion was unanimously car ried that 8001. of the balance should be invested in the Three per Cent. Consols. A letter was read from the British Con sul at Cadiz, intimating that from a communication received from the director of customs at Madrid, that the Spanish Government had consented to grant the same privileges in respect to all Spanish ports to the Royal Thames Yacht Club as were already enjoyed by the Royal Yacht Squadron. The several gentlemen proposed at the last meeting were balloted for and elected, and the Marquis of Stafford, as well as many gentlemen, were proposed for the ensuing meeting. The Sea Nymph was withdrawn from the list for the match of to-morrow. _ _ _ THE DESTRUCTION OF ST. JOHN'S.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—This melancholy disaster has excited much commiseration amongst the mercantile community of Liver pool. A meeting of the principal merchants engaged in the Newfoundland trade was held to-day, and it was resolved immediately to open a subscription for the relief of the suf ferers, many of whom were represented to be on the verge of starvation. We trust this appeal will meet a fit response. A very curious meteor was observed about half-past eight in the evening of the 20th ult., at Marieux, near Autun (Swine-et-Loire). The air was calm, and the at mosphere still illuminated by the expiring reflection of the sun, when a luminous globe, of a violet tint, and appearing to the eye to be about a yard in circumference, was soen for the space of a minute, and a few seconds more, falling per pendicularly to the horizon, preserving all the time its sphe rical form. Although five globules, each of nearly one-fourth of the size of the principal ball, were successively detached from it, it did not lose anything of its apparent volume, At last, when only a short distance from the horizon, it burst into a thousand particles, spreading to a wide distance. MARKET NEWS. -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The present week's arrivals of English Wheat having been very moderate, the show of s amples of that article here was sma ll. Still, however, owing to theimmense quantities of Foreign pressing on the market free of duty, the demand was •dingly dull, at a cle clme in the quotations of quite is exceeL per quarter. Foreign Wheat commanded very little atten. tion ; yet, as the holders were tolerably firm, we can notice no alteration in value. In Barley very little was doing, at late rates. Superfine Malt was quite as dear. In other kinds very few sales were reported. Oats, Beans, and Peas, the supplies of which were large, met a very dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. ARRIVALS.

The supply of beasts was again moderately extensive. The attendance of buyers being somewhat on the increase, the Beef trade was firm, and previous rates were well supported. We had on offer 80 Oxen and Cows from Holland, while the number of foreign Sheep and Lambs embraced 340, and of Calves 9 head. From Scotland 40 Scots came fresh to hand. The number of Sheep was tolerably extensive, yet the Mutton trade was very steady at extreme currencies. The same ob servation may be applied to Lambs, the general quality of which was good. In Calves a large business was done at an advance of 2d per 81bs. Pigs were dull at late rates. Mulch Cowes were selling slowly at from 161 to 191 each.
