Pkitti O. THE PiJBLjI; JOURNALS Since the demise of the Crown a change has come ver the spirit of the Duke of Wellington's desires. H.e is 1101 N a man of excellent wishes, and quite full of Ciem. When he speaks, good wishes pour from his iouth, like the diamonds and pearls from the lips of he favoured maiden in the fairy tale. On Thursday ) 'le -wished to see a conclusien to all the questions upon ' which the two Houses had differed. He wished to see li settlement of the Irish tithe question. He wished to I ce a provi s ion for the Irish poor. He w i s h e d f or nch an arrangement as he could concur in establishing !ornorations in Ireland on a representative principle. le wished that Parliament should not have a contest !•very year on these questions. He wished to agree next , I;ession upon them. Had the Duke worn a ‘vishing -I:ap when in this excellent frame of mind, what bless i; ngs he would have poured down on the empire I Who ,J !ow can deny that the Duke is the well-wisher of his •• country ? As far as good wishes can go at the end of Er-1. Session and the beginning of a r,ign, no man can ) c more patriotic than his Grace. His optative mood eminds us of a piece of ironical vulgar slang which r lad its run some years ago, " I wish you may get it !" 1- wishes ; and he, therefore, The Duke rememb ers to h ave read in his school • 'iooks that Heav en • punishes men in granting their very prudently votes one 'way while he wishes the other. Bearing in mind that Evertere domos totas optantibus ipsis Dii faciles—. Ihis Grace takes care that there shall be no correspen- 1 slence between his conduct and his patriotic aspirations. Longing as he is for Irish corporations on a represent:l -tive principle, and a settlement of the Irish tithe Tie- , stion, he yet carefully guards against the evil that comes .in the s h ape o f gratified desires. He keeps on that side of performance on which the hopes shine. He :1 liknows how poor and how disappointing is possession. : He, therefore, frustrates deeds that he may expatiate in the r ea l ms o f exce l lent wishes. How little can we know the hea r t s o f men I W ho could have conceived that when the Duke was holding forth (but a few 4weeks ago, though in another reign) against the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, he was nevertheless friendly to Corporations on a representative principle, secretly . sighing for normal schools of agitation, ardently desir ing the substitution of one exclusive system for ano ther ? His suspension of the Bill is now explained. He hung it up as a picture for the contemplation of ,its beauties. He now only wants and waits for the icompanions to it, to go forth as the three graces to Ire- Cand--the Irish tithe and the Poor-law. So vehemently ]desirous i s h e to d o j ustice to Ireland that he cannot !he induced to do things by halves or thirds. He cannot consent to give so little at a time as the IMunicipal R e f orm. " Wait, " he says, " till we can , !shower blessings upon her—wait till we can rain Acts ]can Parli ament upon the thirsty land—wait till we ican give three great measures in a batch ; that is Ito say, if we can agree upon all of them." " Next !Session" the chief of the Tory party promises to in !cline his ear to accommodation. " Next Session" he will cease to perceive all imaginable dangers in giv itng a C at h o li c people the privilege of electing Town ,councillors. " Next Session" he will dismiss the 'fear which so long troubled him, and shook his in most soul, that Irish Corporations would make war by the watch. Next Session Dogberry's spirit in arms will no longer affright his prophetic soul. What la blessed change is this, considering that last Ses- Ision, and the Session before, the Duke would gladly ,have turned out the Ministry for proposing the leery principle of local self-government for Ireland which it , is now his anxious wish to carry into effect I " But then," says his Grace, " Parliament must not have a contest every year on these questions." True ; but who are the men who made the contest ? Who are the men who have year after year resisted the principle which the Duke now promises to concede ? Who are the men who denied that the representative principle could be applied to the Corporations of Ire :land without mischief of every kind, and who voted the destruction of the institutions as the only mode of getting rid of a choice of evils ? But if we are to believe their chief they are now ready to admit that this was all a farce, a tissue of wild pretences. From this specimen the public will know what to think of the sincerity of the Opposition in all other cases. Why was it not discovered this session, last session, the session before last, that the principle of representatio n was applicable to Irish Corporations ? Why was it so long and obstinately pretended that the municipal institutions suited to England and Scotland were unfit for Ireland, and would be made so many volcanoes, spouting up the fires of the democratic pas sions ? Why for three years has it been contended that i the normal schools of agitation would be fatal, not only to .the Church that was but a part of the alleged danger, but fatal to the peace of the country, powers which would be used to keep the people in a state of ferment, and to work out the dismemberment of the empire ? Why are all these monstrous pre tences, which have made so much noise during the last three years, to be renounced next session ? Because the loss of the court-card changes the game of faction. And because since the delivery of the last Tory argument of Irish incapacity for equal privileges i Sovereign has proclaimed, as the golden maxim of her Government, religious liberty to all classes of her !subjects. The Tories find that they have placed them selves in a false position, and are for shifting their ]ground from the slough in which they are floundering; but the dirt shall stick to them. An election is at !land, and the Tories perceive that an abandonment of I the policy on which they have acted during the last I Parliament will be popular with the constituencies. IThey pretend to conform at the twelfth hour to the !principles of Lord Melbourne's Ministry, in order to obtain by fraud the means of opposing all beneficial :neastires throughout the next Parliam ent . --M orning Chronicle. ] On no previ ous occas i on, we repeat, have the con ,°i stitueney of this rea l m b een called on to elect a Praha- Hnent under circumstances of graver interest and re sponsibility than arc involved in the approaching stru, ,gle ; n or can our countrymen b e blind or indifferent ° to ,:the fact, that according as they give their votes judici ously or oth erw i se at t h e present crisis, they either save -, he monarchy or accelerate its doom. Never did we utter a sentiment of the truth of which we entertained k . such a deep and solemn conviction. Apart from the .-: Cromwellian usurpation, during which this monarchy rwas made havoc of by the ance:,tors of the present Dis - enters, no measures have at any time been recom '..mended by a British Ministry hut such as were -more or less consistent, if not with the welfare of the nation, at least with the integrity of its constitu ,tion. At the present day, instead of being lorded over i ;')y the pretensions and ascendancy of a coarse congre .gational hypocr i t e , th e country i s more than menaced >.-vith those f.•,i a vet coarser Popish adventurer ; and ' Nhereas in the former case the evil was mitigated and . ..inally removed by an assumption of personal rule, .:Nhose intolerable yoke was ultimately flung off by our indignant forefathers, we find that in the latter there s an equally real domination, which, though not so , stensibly embodied as in the Protectorate of Crom- Nell, is at once more rife with danger and less sus , •eptible of challenge, inasmuch as it prosecutes its nnovations under the forms of a delegated and divided -!.. - esponsibility by means of the Cabinet agents through - yhom it is exercised. Under these agents a system of • msidious assault on the organic structure and elements rif the monarchy has for three years been attempted, -,.. Ind is still in the course of operation. Whether the -;opening events of 4 new reign shall ultimately be found 'to subserve tt - ii; conspiracy, it remains with our country ",men (under God) to determine ; but, in the mean time, . there are various considerations arising out of the pre ' s-ent position of affairs which demand instant attention, as well for the sake of existing interests, as with a view .Ito those o f posterity. When his late Majesty di e d, th e I 'retention of the O'Connell Ministers was literally forced upon the young Queen by a stern political necessity. Had she called Conservative statesmen to her councils— 'a measure the expediency o f w hi c h, i n presen t Icircum stances, we are quite sure those f a ithful ad v i sers wou ld .have pointed ou t t o h er M a j esty — every person must . see that, what w ith t h e near approac h o f a di sso l ut i on o f Parliament, what w ith t h e fi sca l an d ceremon i a l ne cessities of the mome n t, an d w h a t w i t h t h e i nterrupt i on ~..hich public busines s must h ave susta i ne d f rom t h e inevitable vacation of se a t s consequent on taking office, Ire formation of a Conservative Government must g.... 5.......—..---..-- have been fraught with the greatest enthat raestneut and disadvantage. Let our Ftetentfyillen bear in mind, then, that their rateoz.citt and inexperienced Sovereign hat beer. handed OVCT to the clutches of the O'Conni.ll tc,etion by the force of circuteeitAtics, which her Ma jesty could not controul. Day after day, too, the yeetlinil Court is, by the same ncceey, infested \rah certain new and insinuating influenetcm, M1;01i though not directly cmanotim fftiti tli`o Master-in triguer, are in immetlialt cootact and co-operation with theee who are notoriously his slaves. Kensington Palace is at this moment a sort of State ptason whose entire atmosphere is iMptegnattki With nti 6deiff of O'Connellism, from which its rod; al and i'ltAttant victim cennot for some time otapt. The Queen of England, God bless her, is not at this moment a free moral agent. Until the country ehall r.se for her Majesty's rescue, is n ecessar:ly concussed in every politieal movement ; nor ought it to be forgotten, that as a principal object of the Consti tuting in summoning a new Psatliament at the com mencement of a new reign is to afford the nation an opportunity of ratifying or remodelling the Ministerial arrangements which the successor to the crow n is almost obliged to retain for a time as left by the preced ing monarch, so, as far as regards the peculiar position of Queen Victoria, the real question to he determined be the electors of Britain is, whether they will rivet her fetters, or set her Majesty . free. O'Connell viewed as the incarnation of principles and demands incompatib!e with the peace of this Protestant king dotn, is the rampant and venomous dragon which England, like her legendary saint, must spear and prostrate to the dust. To suppose that his pestilent influence is confined to Ireland were grievously to mis calculate the facts. lie is, in truth, the monstrous and übiquitous impersonation of Whig -Popish mischief in all its multiplied ramifications ; and, seeing that the Melbourne Cabinet arc irretrievably committed to maintain that ascendancy of his, which alone can maintain them in a position to exercise power over the Queen, it is clear that every Melbourne candidate at the approaching election, whether in England or Scot land, does as truly indenture himself to the O'Connell servitude as the bondsmen of Tipperary or Tralee—a servitude whose very object and badge is a heartless perfidy towards our Protestant institutimis, of which her Majesty, in her constitutional character, is at once the representative and guardian. The parties, then, on whose behalf distinctively the British constituency are about to be appealed to, are none other than her Majesty on the one hand, and. O'Connell on the other; or, as we might justly say, the contest lies be tween England's curse and England's Queen. That the Queen herself may be importuned at present to view the matter in a different light, only argues a state of things which demands the more imperatively such a national demonstration of loyalty as may effectually rescue her Majesty and her people from their common perils. A word of caution in reference to O'Connell's present moderation. Many people erroneously imagine that this is attributable to such an increase of wisdom or loss of influence on his part as to render him no longer an object of apprehension and distrust. Let no man deceive himself with such an idle notion. The learned incendiary has only been suspending operations with a view to the augmentation of his bi ennial stipend. As the season for collecting his tri bute approached, he • found it expedient to stimulate the bounty of his dupes ; and, as this could not be done more effectually than by letting them see that their special interests might suffer by his lethargy and indifference, so for the last three months he has cun ningly put on his nightcap, only with the view of quickening his clients to rouse him from his simulated slumbers with a munificent proof of their liberality. Our readers may rely upon it, that the spots of this leopard are unchanged, his appetite for prey and plunder is as strong as ever, his claws as sharp, and his instincts as ferocious.—Times. Already have we urged upon all Reformers—consti tuencies and candidates—the necessity of activity and unanimity in the approaching elections ; we trust, however, where the occasion is so important, and where so much depends on energy and union, we shall be excused for repeating our advice, more espe cially as from the number of candidates on Reform principles about to start for some constituencies, the division of interests threatens to leave such consti tuencies an easy prey to the Tories. In Marylebone, for instance, it ►s rumoured that besides the present Members three other Reform candidates, Mr. Young, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Hall, are about to enter the lists for its representation. If such be the case, it would be too lenient language to call the procedure injudicious—it is nothing less than criminal. We have already suggested that wherever a Tory candidate is in the field—and Lord Teignmouth has already addressed the electors of Marylebone, and Mr. Hope, or some other Tory, is said to be also coming forward —the Reform electors should either assemble them selves, and decide on the merits of the respective can didates, or through meetings of their committees select the most eligible, and request all others to withdraw from the contest. No honest candidate dare hesitate an acquiescence with such request, where the sense of the electors would have been fairly ascertained. And should any selfish or intriguing speculator, in the guise of a Reformer, persevere ►n opposition to such request, or attempt to advance his own personal interests, regard less of the injury which any division of the Liberal elec tors must inflict on the cause of Reform, he should be scouted with more indignation from the hustings than even the Tories themselves ; for what could he ex pected from such a man in the House of Commons, when, in the very act of seeking admission there, he would have proved his readiness to sacrifice the inte rests of the country to his own aggrandisement t Such a man should be more dreaded than the most rabid Tory. 3 / 4 ,ct the example of Lord Russell, in respect to Westminster, serve as a guide to all aspirants for the representative trust under similar circumstances. His Lordship, when requested to come forward for the representation of that city, declined on the grounds that, as there were already two Reformers in the field, it would injure and endanger the cause to put another in nomination. Nothing could raise his Lordship more in public esteem and confidence than the patriotic mo tive of this refusal. We sincere!y hope this example will excite imitation. Nor need it be apprehended that the act of self-denial will go unrewarded ; for the Bri tish people are now too much enlightened to confound ~enu►nc patriotism with the pretence of it, and there fore, as in private life, " honesty is the best policy," so in public l►fe the wisest politician is he who iden tifies his interests with those of the nation.— illorniner advertiser. We are glad to perceive that there is at length a prospect of the British public being allowed to visit their own national institutions, without a tribe of igno rant, hungry fee-takers meeting them at every door. That the ciceroni in question justify the terms here used, those who have had occasion to visit the two metropolitan cathedrals of St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey must have had ample proof, while at the Bri tish Museum, where none of this paltry extortion takes place, the attendant s are of a class, for the most part, equally well informed and courteous. It has been urged as a reason for continuing the present injus tice and abuse, that the English people are not fit to be entrusted with the freedom which is exercised by the lowest in other countries. If there were any truth in this, it would still consist in jumbling cause with effect, for as restraint produces restlessness, and restlessness a turn for mischief, no wonder if such were, to a certain degree, the case in the works of art entrusted to the care of those who show that their leading principle is ars celare artem. B ut to show that there is no truth in the assertion, or justice in the exclusion, let any one compare the mu tilated state of many of the monuments in Westminster Abbey, where the - exclusion prevails, with the total absence of all injury in the British Museum, to which every one has lon ,, been freely admitted ; which shows that, on th e one Piand, even the ciceroni in question have not been competent to protect the monuments from injury ; and, on the other, that where the people are freely trusted, they prove themselves fit to be so. There is, we are free to admit, a silly Strephonizing practice among certain classes of love-sick swains, to engrave their initials, or those of their Dulcineas, on trees and woodwork ; and against which mis chievous practice the following beautiful lines have been ffixed to a board on tit 6 new tcrrnce in iticli rnnild, I; 7 railieit, !Cott zFtP 4oieci these trees and scat, mere young and old or health and rest may meet.

Morning Herald, • N o t*ith - erend ' imme, iiiid&4llit:rll filiditt lac approaching election, which is to be found in the Ministerial newspapers, these is, we have good reason to believe, much quaking in Downing -,street upon that Very sUhiet.:l-: Afe ad doiie " fi-Om head-quarters, conveyed through ir responsible underlings. This fact alone is very con sidAahle evidence of the trepidation which actually. pre- • vails among the plate-holders: We do not thati td say that matters ate yet so tnattitcd AS to Bil'd Minis ters reason to t•etkiitilie Upon being beaten more soundly it the Approaching election than their party was in the last, but sufficient has transpired to put them in a very great fright, and they have just sense enough to know how important it is that Cie panic should not spread. On this account they direct bulletins to be prepared for the newspapers, which arc about as honest as those which Napoleon despatched to the Monilcur during the first month of his retreat from Moscow. It is with equal pride and pleasure that we ab serve the universality of the struggle which the Con servative body is about to make at the ensuing elec tion. We know that this is no more than their duty, and, in a comprehensive view of the subject, it is no more than their interest. But men are so apt to pre fer their inclination to their duty, and their own indi vidual present interest to that which is more general and remote, that we have reason to rejoice that the Conservative body is up and stirring as it is upon the present occasion. We trust that before three weeks pass away the activity will be even much greater than it now is, and the devotedness to the important pur pose of obtaining a Conservative majority yet more intense. At present there is every prospect that it it will be so, notwithstanding that some meddling fools, without perhaps meaning it, are doing all that folly can do to excite disgust by their. officious ness, instead of quietly performing the " fetch-and carry" duty of which they ate alone capable. We are thoroughly persuaded, that if the Conserva tive gentry of England only determine that they will win, and that nothing which they can do shall be left undone at so important a crisis as the present, their success is certain. This was not the case in 1831, when a great deal of rash courage, of more rash panic, and most rash expense ended in sig nal discomfiture. At that time universal madness reigned, and a man might as well have preached to the winds, or tried to have appeased the waves by argu ment, as to talk of reason and moderation to the elec tors. We do not deny that the Tories in some degree deserved this punishment. They had been very ne glectful of those honest and honourable means of popularity which, in a country so free as ours, it is the proper business of every gentleman of influence and fortune to cultivate. To tell the naked truth, some among them have a good deal to learn in this particular still, but bad habits are not so easily altered, and we must be content with gradual improvement. They have improved, and the people—the body of electors throughout the kingdom—have recovered from the delirium which was so wickedly taken advantage of in 1831. The election of 1832 was an experiment on a grand scale by the people of England. They determined to try their new franchise upon new men. They did so—the new men were weighed in the balance, and found wanting. Another election came at the close of 1834, and the people of England returned to the House of Commons a majority of Conservatives. Hitherto that majority has been overborne by the O'Connell tail—a set of Members of the meanest de scription, representing nothing but the bigoted hosti lity of the Romish Priesthood of Ireland to the Pro testant institutions of Great Britain. The people of Eng'ar - id have not been observant of this. They have seen, in every important division, their wishes, as re presented by the majority of those they have sent to Parliament, frustrated avid made of no avail by the votes of Senatorial minions,- without property, without character, without any regard for the obligations of public honour, or the restrictions of a public oath. It is impossible that an intelligent and high-minded people can look on at these things unmoved, and we therefore feel that there is good hope—excellent hope—of the exertions of time Conservative gentry being responded t o by th e support o f the great body of British electors. We dwell upon this the rather because while we admit that Tories have been to a great extent, and still are to some extent, neglect ful of those fair means of attaining popularity which they ought to attend to, there are still many reasons why they require encouragement to come forward and join in the popular struggle. To them there is no reward but in the conviction that they are doing their country a service. Notwithstanding the respect whi c h Sir Robert Peel prof e s ses f or th e House of Commons, and the great respect we have for every thing which he says, we own that we think it an extremely tiresome and disagreeable place for any gentleman to spend his time. The company is any thing but select, and the conversation is for the most part abominably tedious and unimportant. It may be all very fine for Whig- Radicals, who feel themselves elevated to a rank they never had before, by writing M. P. after their names, by franking letters, and by talking very loud ab o ut " go i ng down to the House ;" but all this signifies nothing to most of the Conservative Members, whose rank in society would be just the same, whether in Parliament or out of it. The men whom we look to for the exertion which is so necessary at the coming election arc not men to wh om i t can b e ae.reeable to be in the Heinie of Commons, but who will strive to be there because it is a duty, because they must not let the political interests of the country be run away with by quacks, and jobbers, and crack brained speculators—by the deputies of Popish Priests and Unitarian Aldermen. Since they exert them selves, and band together for the accomplishment of :heir jobs and their schemes, the Conservatives must also exert themselves, and band together with at least equal activity for their overthrow. " Thus may we gather honey from the weed, And make a moral of the devil himself." The Conservatives are doing this, and their very note of preparation has struck dismay, or something Nfery nearly akin to it, into the hearts of some of the Ministers. It is the great misfortune of several of these personages that except as Ministers they are nothing, and the thought of being obliged to aban don the Treasury Bench is lik e that of being pushed off an eminence from which the descent is death. We arc as sorry for them as we reasonably can be, but if the Protestant Constitution of Great Britain or their Ministerial sway must perish, their fate be upon their own heads. They have deserved it.—Morning Post. A young gentleman named Ingall, an articled clerk to an attorney in the Inner Templo, was drowned on Saturday morn'ng whilst bathing in the Thames, opposite the Temple Gardena. It is supposed he was seized with cramp whilst swimming. On Saturday morning last, between seven and eight o'clock, two brothers, named John and William MaHinson sawyers, came to their deaths under the following circum stances :—A mill being now in the course of erection at Sowerby-bridge, the two unfortunate men were employed in it as sawyers, and being desirous of ascending to the top of the chimney other bimney men agreed got into the he to c anorevrefe them up, which for that purpose andhavig three n of the been done, the men at the crane refused to let them down unless the two brothers agreed to pay for some beer, which they declined to comply with. The menet th e crane tehe fastened etra it and left the ill-fated brothers up up above till game from breakfast. Some lads, however, coming past shortly after, the two brothers called out to them to let them down, when the lads immediately proceeded so to do, but, not understanding the nature of the crane, the handle syddenly broke loose, and they were unable to stop its pro gress. The consequence was, the two unfortunate men were precipitated to the bottom with fearful velocity, which occasioned the immediate death of John Mallinson, and the other lingered till the following evening, when he expired.— Halifax Guardian. On Thursday evening an inquest was held at the London Hospital, Mile End-road, on the body of Emily Rap son, aged six years, the daughter of Henry Rapson, one of the messengers in the Bank of England. It appeared that the child had been slightly bitten by a puppy about three months since. The wound, which was a mere scratch, healed, and the child continued in perfect health until Monday morn ing last, when decided symptoms of hydrophobia exhibited themselves, and she died of that dreadful malady in the above institution on Wednesday. Tho Jury found a verdict to that effect. THE SUN, LON DrN MON DAY, .J Lit 7 3, 1837. IMPERIAL PA. R e LIAmEIN ROUSE OF LORDS, JULY 1.

LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC MEETINGS FOR THE WEEK. Tuts DAT. —Entomological, 8 P. M. ; Tnuasnar.—Zoological, 3 P. M. ; Botanical, 81 P.M. The Conversazione of the Architectural Society postponed from the 27th ult. to Tuesday, the I Ith inst. Two additional reports of the Select Committee on railway subscription lists have been printed by order of the House of Commons. They refer to the means employed by the Westminster-bridge, Deptford, and Greenwich Railway Company, and the City or Southwark-bridge and Hammer smith Railway Company, to fill up the list of their subscribers. The former project was begun in April, 1836, and the Com mittee reports that to January of the present year the con duct of the Directors was unexceptionable. Then, however, finding money scarce, they could not " continue so strait laced," and a resolution was passed to " use every exertion to place the reserve of shares on the line or elsewhere without delay." In consequence of this resolution Mr. Price, the En gineer of the Company, asked a Mr. Gibbs to take some shares. Gibbs, after some hesitation, took 1,005 shares, amounting in money to 50,250/. ; but, having an objection to sign for them himself, he procured, through the agency of a person named John Lee Jacobs, a number of persons to sign for shares at 103. a-head, and the Clerk of the Solicitor of the Company was present at the signing, attested the signatures , and filled in against them the moneyed accounts of the subscriptions and deposits. The Committee consider the Directors of the Com pany responsible for the acts of Mr. Price, the Engineer, Mr. Hoppe, the Solicitor, and Mr. Paine, his Clerk, " which have occasioned the affixing to the deed of colourable and not real subscriptions to the extent of 1,005 shares of 50,250!." The report on the other Company is similar, but the amount of co lourablc subscription is greater, 99,5501.; and the deficiency of the sum subscribed, necessary to comply with the Standing Orders, is no less than 86,2.15/ On Thursday evening, soon after eight o'clock, the Star, a Gravesend steamer, was on her way to London, with a very large and respectable complement of passengers on board, when on arriving off Greenwich Hospital, the City of Glasgow steamer being on one side of her, also coming up the stream, one of the Greenwich steamers came away from the wharf as the Star was passing, and although hailed bt Captain Tisdell, the master of the Star, to stop, his requesy was disregarded, and she came stem on the larboard quarter of the Star with a fearful crash, knocking away her bulwarks on that side, and doing other damage. The alarm, particu larly among the females on both vessels, was very great, and several were thrown down by the shock, but none were hurt. The Greenwich steamer received great damage, and she re coiled from the Star, which is a much larger and stouter vessel, a considerable distance. The passengers in the Star were much incensed at the reckless conduct of the Greenwich steamer, and numbers of them signed a declaration that Capt. Tisdell was not to blame. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 7.—Last night the palaces and country houses of the great folks on the Bosphorus, were illuminated in a most splendid manner; the port-holes and rigging of the ships of war were also decorated with lamps ; fireworks were let off, innumerable guns were fired; and al to‘Tether the scene was animating in the highest degree. There was a talk of these rejoicings on the return of the So vereign being repeated for three nights in all; but this was a mistake. The English schooner, Swiftsure, which arrived here two days ago, was boarded at night in the Dardanelles, by a piratical boat, containing half a dozen Greeks well armed. Captain Woolley immediately barricaded himself in his cabin. Tho pirates soon discovered that the cargo consisted of nothing but iron ; they, therefore, attempted to get into the cabin, but the Captain showed a good pair of pistols, and declared he would blow out the brains of the first two who entered, so that the villains contented themselves with plundering the seamen and then went away. It is well for the Captain that they did not forco his companion, for his pistols were not loaded, he had neither ball nor powder 1 Gun boats of the Greek Government have lately captured in the Gulf of Salonica se veral boats belonging to pirates and sent them to the island of Skiathos. The pirates themselves took refuge in the moun tains and escaped. The merchants continue to complain loudly of the ruinous rates of postage charged by the French boats. One mercantile establishment paid 201. for letters marked to come by Vienna, whereas had they really come as intended, he would have only paid 41. lOs., and most of the letters would have reached them earlier. The last Vienna post brought London news only 20 days old. It arrives every week, whereas the French boats arrive only once in ten days. When the franc is worth only 4f Turkish piastres, we cannot understand either why it should be calculated by the agent here at sf. Mr. Pearson, head gardener to Mr. Murray, of Broughton, has hit on an expedient for feedin g pheasants and other game, which, if extensively introduced, would go far to render the Bill for indemnifying tenants for damage done to their crops, a dead letter. From the east nook, not of Fife, but the Lothians, he procured a variety of the potato named " the everlasting," which clings with such extraordinary per tinacity to the soil that once established it, is impossible to root it out, unless you trench the ground and then riddle it. Its fertility, too, is so great, that our informant, a highly in telligent horticulturist, proposes, so soon as his seed is ripe, to plant- it out in the woods as a treat to the pheasants, and even the hares, during winter and spring. From what is al ready known, the pheasants would soon find out and excavate the hidden treasure, and should the frost ever be particularly severe in such well-sheltered places, it would be easy to assist them by loosening the earth with a pick or spade. The hares, six of which, eat as much young clover as a single sheep, are capital scrapers when it suits their purpose ; and when the experiment of bribing the enemies of the early crops to dine at home, in place of abroad at the farmer's expense, is fairly in troduced, Mr. Pearson, we doubt not, will receive, as he de serves, a premium from the Highland and Agricultural So ciety of Scotland.--Dumfries Courier.

The object of tb( meeting was explained to be to petition for a repeal of tht New Poor Law. For some reasons not stated, the Member for Southwark ‘N as expected to be present toladdressthose as sembled, but in this they were disappointed. A blank sheet of paper was produced, upon which those who were capable wrote their names; others made a mark, the name being writ ten by a person present. No form of petition was prepared. but one of the most active of the crowd stated, that the docu ment would be sent to the same Hon. Gentleman who had pro mised to annex the petition. The greatest order was observe( from the time the meeting began to assemble until it dispersed The chief of the complaints expressed was, inec,uility o! wages—that as much work was done in some parishes fat eight or nine shillings as was done in other parish a for ten ot twelve. The complaint, it must be admitted, is a just one and the labourer will find the New Poor Law well calculate( to provide a remedy. It was remarked that not a single la bourer belonging to the parish of Boreham was present at th, meeting alluded to. Yesterday, about 200 again met, an , agreed to a petition.—Essex Herald. On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at the Feathers Inn, Laleham, on the body of Henry Kennedy, wh was killed by the falling inn of a mass of earth, of about tvp tons weight, while engaged at his usual work as an excavate] on Tuesday last. The deceased was a fine young man, 2C years of age. Verdict, Accidental Death. SKIPRAM WELL.—This well is situated nea Ashill ; and has been, from time immemorial, early in th morning frequented by groups of persons from the surroundin neighbourhood, annually, the first Sunday in May. It ha . now become the every Sunday morning resort of persons wh are afflicted with scrofula, diseased eyes, benumed limbs, an even leprosy. So particular are those who visit this water that they endeavour to be there before the sun rises There ar several persons from Eminster and neighbeurhced who hay received benefit from bathing in the well, not only adults bu infants.—Bath Herald. On Sunday morning the attention of the Thame,. police was called to a man whose moans were heard proceed ing from an empty barge moored near Ratcliffe-cross-tier Mr. W. Fortey, a Thames-police surveyor, and his boat' crew, immediately proceeded on board the barge, in the cabil of which they found a man named John Buss, in a dyin; state. He was evidently sinking fast for the want of suste nance ; and it appeared from the statement of the hapless creature, that he had been for some time out of employ, an, distress and want had brought on illness. He was unable t( pay his rent, and turned into the street. An application t. the parish to which he belonged was made in vain, and afte wandering about the streets until he was quite exhausted, h threw himself into the cabin of the barge in the Regent', dock, and was brought out into the river, the bargemen bein; unaware that any person was on board. He remained in th cabin for three days and three nights without a morsel of food until his groans were overheard by the police. Fortey an his men gave the man some nourishing food, which from ex treme weakness he had great difficulty in swallowing. Appli cation was then made to the master of Ratcliffe workhouse who, on hearing of the destitute and suffering condition of th man, desired that he might be immediately brought there He was accordingly removed to the workhouse, where ever• attention has been since paid him, and he is likely to recover Ho was formerly employed on the towing path of the Re gent's Canal.
