Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil eelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters every living crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of' us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all , by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lik e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation Di' our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH ON THE MIDLAND COMPANY'S LINE.—The telegraph between Birmingham and Derby has just been completed. The distance is 41 miles, and the ' , thole of the wires have been erected under the superinten dence of Mr. Joseph. This completes the telegraph on the entire of the Midland line from Leeds to Birmingham, and from Derby to Nottingham and Rugby—with the exception of the want of a few instruments on the road stations be tween Birmingham and Derby. The communication is per• fect, and constitutes another wonder in this wonder-working age. The estimated cost of the whole telegraph is about 40,0001. Sheffield Independent. Patez OF BREAD IN GLASGOW.—Since the repeal of the corn-laws, and even previous thereto, the bakers in different parts of the country, as well as those of them in this city, who do not belong to what is termed the "corporation," had lowered the price of bread in proportion to the fall in the price of wheat. The 41b. fine loaf has been selling for more than a month in almost, if not all, the provision shops in and about town, for 7d.—household do. 6d. Mark, then, the modesty of the following announcement which appears this week in most of the Glasgow papers :—" At a meeting of the Incorporation of Bakers of Glasgow, held on Friday, in the Trades' Ha ll, it was agreed to reduce the price of the 41b. loaf, first quality to 7d. ; and the second quality to 6d." This is like putting the cart before the horse, seeing that this body of incorporate bakers had, for some time previously, been selling their bread to shopkeepers at such a rate as enabled the latter to retail it again at e 6d. and e to ad 7d. per the d 41b. loaf, with a reman e f a ti n g profit; whil, strang, shops was 7d. and Bd. for the very ft preftfaCtiollig Corporation of price at the bakers' QW II same kind of bread I Tile our good city would do well to follow the example set them by the better bred bakers of Galashiels, The Border Watch states that " the bakers of Galashiels have reduced the price 'of the fine four-pound loaf to sixpence, and that of the second ditto to fivepence. At one establishment in the town the tine loaf is sold at fivepence-halfpennv, being, we believe, the cheapest in the United liingdom.".--Glas,gow Citizen. THE BENTINCK DEMONSTRA TION. KING'S LYNN, TUESDAY NIGHT:—On Tuesday a public dinner was given to Lord George Bentinck by his constituents in this town and a large body of the agriculturists of the county of Norfolk, to t, stify their approbation of the ability and zeal displayed by his Lordship in his opposition to the free trade measures of the late Government. The entertainments took place in a long, low-roofed and extremely narrow building, recently erected as a Market-house. Nearly 800 sat down to a very good dinner su plied by Mr. Barnes, of the Crown, and M. Culyer, of the Duke's Head Hotels. The Earl of Orford, High Steward of the town, offi ciated as Chairman; supported on the right by Lori G. Bentinck, M.P., the Marquis of Granby, M.P., Major Beresford, M.P . and the Rev. J. Bowen; on the left by the Duke of Richmond, Lord Sondes, Mr. Disraeli, M.P., W. Miles, M.P., and Sir 11. Berney. The Vice-chair was filled by Mr. J. Cobon, who was supported on the right by Mr. Bagge, M.P., Sir J. Tyrrell, M.P., Mr. G. Hudson, M.P.; and on the left by Mr. G. Wodehouse, M.P. and Mr. Sergeant Byles. The usual loyal and national toastshaving been drunk, The CHAIRMAN rose, and in an eloquent speech pro posed " the health of the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, Lord George Bentinck." The most deafening cheers followed this toast ; they were renewed and renewed again, and when dying away, were again aroused with " one cheer more." Lord G. BENTINCK spoke as follows :—lf the recep tion which you have given me could for a moment by me be taken as a compliment entirely personal to my self, I can assure you I should feel abashed and ut terly overwhelmed by the overpowering sense of your kindness. But when I look to the feelings with which you have greeted me as the voice of this country — (Cheers)—that the yeomanry and people of England will not sit down in silence, and in peace allow them selves to be trampled on by anyllikster, by any would-be dictator—(Cheers)—far from being over powered, far from being overwhelmed, I feel excited and roused to new exertions, to see justice done to those in terests which have of late been trampled upon.— (Cheers.) My Noble Friend, the Lord High Steward of this ancient town, has observed to you that when this day year we heard the Prime Minister of England say that a repeal of the corn-laws would be tantamount to a social revolution, little could it be imagined that we should be assembled here to-day, having seen that mea sure carried by that same Prime Minister.—(Cheers.) I have said, I might well feel abashed if the demonstra tion that-has been made were personal to myself, stand ing as I do in the presence of so many older soldiers in the cause—to me who have made no sacrifice for you— to me who have been but a few months in your service, engaged in an exciting campaign, whilst I stand by my Noble Friend who for thirty years has fought in the same cause, and is now made a martyr by the Prime Minister of England for his constituency, for his fidelity to those principles which that Minister has so shamelessly abandoned.—(Loud cheers.) Speaking in King's Lynn, and in the county of Norfolk, I will say that my Noble Friend's was the inheritance of the Lord- Lieutenancy of this county—(Cheers)—but because he was true to his principles, because he was true to your interests, because he was true to those principles which heretofore Sir Robert Peel had endeavoured so success fully and with so much eloquence to instil into our minds, my Noble Friend was cashiered, and the Lord-Lieutenancy was allowed to remain vacant till a new Government was enabled to ap point a successor of different politics.—(Cheers.) I stand also in the presence of my Noble Friend, the Duke of Richmond.—(Cheers.) Little credit have I a right to take, standing in the presence of my Noble Friend, who for these long years has been fighting this battle. I who came but at the 11 th hour into the vineyard ; I who came up as the Prussians did at the end of the day, might be well abashed in the presence of my Noble Friend. I stand too in the presence of my Noble Friend the member for Leicester, the Marquis of Granby, who has sacrificed power and distinction for the sake of his principles, and whose talents, far superior to mine, have only been kept back by that modesty which a sense of indignation at the injustice used towards you had overcome. Well might I also feel some diffidence in rising to acknowledge this toast. I thank you for the manner in which you have received me in the presence of my Hon. Friend the Member for. Shrewsbury—(Cheers)—whose powerful eloquence, unequalled in the present House of Commons, has done far more than anything I have done to defeat the Minister that has betrayed you.—(Loud cheers.) My Noble Friend the Lord High Steward referred to my Hon. Friend, when he said that he early discovered the treachery of the late Prime Minister. I confess I was one who thought it was a calumny, when, twelve months ago, my Hon. Friend the Member for Shrewsbury, with far more sagacity, with far more penetration than I possessed, told the House of Commons that a Con servative Government, at the head of which stood Sir Robert Peel, was neither more nor less than an organised 'hypocrisy.—(Loud cheers.) 'I am not here to fight the battle of the corn-laws over again. Standing in the presence of the farmers of England, it would be a work of supererogation indeed if I were to waste time by trying to persuade you that admitting the corn of foreign coun tries into competition with yours was likely to improve your condition. I will not enter into discussion on this head ; suffice it to say that in the month of November last, when, as my Noble Friend said, the whole country was prospering, when farmers were getting good re • turns for their grain, when the people were better em ployed and at better wages than ever was known, when trade was improving and increasing to an amount never before known, whilst population was increasing also, but bankruptcies were diminishing, when new houses were • • extending, the poor-houses emptying , wealth increasing , pauperism diminishing—the price of wheat concurrently with all that prosperity was, for the best wheat 705., and between 40s. and 50s. for the inferior. I need not tell you, when the price is now 565. for the best, and for the inferior qualities 285., that this measure of free trade is one of ruin to the farmers of England. --(Cheers.) I need not tell you, who know what taxes you have to bear. that it is not possible that you should compete with the un taxed countries of Europe and America.—(Cheers.) We were told a little before Easter that we, the protec tionists, were standing in the light of the farmers of Eng land, by delaying the settlement of this measure. A Noble Friend of mine, even the Member for North Lincolnshire, told us that the farmers of England wished to see the question speedily settled, and that it was only necessary to let in the fine wheats of Dantzic, and, the fine flour of America, to mix with your damp wheats of 1845, in order to enable you to sell your damp wheats, which were unsaleable without that mixture. I took the liberty of saying thatyou, _ _ • - the farmers of England would be justly liable to the charge made once against you by Lord John Russell, that you were as dull as the clods you break, if you could be persuaded that letting in 2,000,000 quarters of fine wheat would raise the price of your produce. However, unabashed, I was told I was no true friend to , the agricultural interest. I continued to fight the battle, and now you are able to judge between me and my Lord Wersley.—(Cheers.) • I believe I may say that, as 2,000,000 quarters of fine wheat have been admitted into competition with yours at 4s. a quarter, the price of your wheat has fallen from 10s. to 18s. per quarter. Is it nothing that we, the pro tectionists, for three months, by obstinacy if you will, or by perseverance, warded off the blow, and left to you the monopoly of the English market for three en tire months ?—(Cheers.) We are told by Sir Robert Peel that the free air of competition is requisite to rouse you to exertion—(Great laughter)—and so I sup pose that a reduction of 10s., if no more, per quarter upon the price of the 16,000,000 quarters of wheat you annually grow, deducting from your pockets 8,000,0001. a-year is likely to prove for the benefit of the farmers of England.—(Cheers.) Well, but we were told by Mr. Cobden about the same period of the session that the towns must govern England. Sir R. Peel did or did not cheer that sentiment—l eare not now whether he cheered it or not ; but this I know, that since that period he had informed the country that it was not the potato famine in Ireland, that it was not the wheat famine in this coun try, but it was Mr. Cobden—it was the untiring zeal, the powerful reasoning, the eloquent speeches, the more eloquent because unadorned, of Mr. Cobden, that in duced him to abolish the corn-laws; and that the glory of it belongs to Richard Cobden. Well then, if the glory of the measure belongs to Richard Cobden, and if Richard Cobden is of opinion that thenceforth the towns are to govern England, a sentiment re-echoed by friend Bright—(Cheers)—who has told you that the cotton districts of Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire must thenceforth govern England, I think we know pretty well with whom we should have had to deal, if we had allowed Sir R. Peel to con tinue Minister.—(Cheers.) I stand before you to ask your judgment upon me and my friends—whether we have or have not done the will of the people of Eng land, when we drove Sir Robert Peel from power ? (Cheers.) Well, but the object of my meeting you here to-day is not so much to go back to the past, as to look forward to the future.—(Cheers.) The great end of that party which owns for its leader Lord Stanley—(Cheers) —is first to recover the protection we have lost—(Loud cheers) —butfailing that, to seek compensation in relieving the agricultural interest from the peculiar burdens they bear. Now,, for the first matter, the recovery of the protection to native industry, which we have lost; allow me to remind you who had the franchise in 1841, retain the franchise now, and that you, the yeomanry of Eng land, who in 1841 sent a majority of 390 to the House of Commons to maintain protection to British indus try, exceeding Bs. per quarter on wheat—you who sent a majority of 390 to retain protection to our colo nial iuterests, and to repress slavery and the slave trade, still possess the franchise now, and it is only for you to exercise it—it is only for you to prove, that if Sir R. Peel is fickle, you are constant—(Cheers)—and the day cannot be long distant when you must recover that which you have lost.—(Loud cheers.) But to do this, you must follow the example of South Nottinghamshire, of Gloucestershire, and Dorsetshire.—(Cheers.) You, the farmers of England, must dt, the work; you must not trust to your landlords. It was not the landlords of South Notts, but the tenant farmers and free holders that carried the day ; without attorneys, without agents, without solicitors they achieved the victory themselves.—(Cheers.) And if you have the same spirit which I believe you to have, if S 7 .A►.UG UST 6, 1846, _ _ you have the same courage, which I trust you have, you, the farmers and yeomanry, amongst whom I am proud that I was horn, when the day of the next election comes, will be able to do justice to yourselves. But I said something about burdens. We have been told—endea vours have been made to prove that the agricultural interest is rot subject to any peculiar burdens. Why, I thought that tithe, and poor-rate, and land-tax constituted three pretty heavy burdens, of which the largest is paid by the land. Since we are told that the cotton districts of Lancashire and the \Vest Riding of Yorkshire are hereeforth to govern England, I thought it as well to inquire what were the peculiar burdens which Lancashire and the West Riding bore, to entitle that one county and a-half to govern all England, Scotland, and Ireland; and I find that the real property of Lancashire and the %Vest Riding of Yorkshire annually assessed is 15,251,256/. ; while, turning to Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, the amount of real property is only 6.727,449/. annually assessed to the land -tax, tithe, and poor rate, to the amount of 1,285.5061.; and the 15.251.256/. of Lancashire and of the West Riling of Yorkshire was only assessed at 743,541/.—(Loud cheers.) So that we have here these two counties, with more than double the property, paying half the burdens only of Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex:—(Cheers.) Bit then we are told that tithe is no charge at all on land ; that tithe is of divine origin, and that it makes no difference to a farmer whether before he pays his landlord rent and before he puts money into his own pocket a tithe of the produce is to be de ducted for the service of the church. We are told by the manufacturing interest that though foreign countries pay no tithe, it is no disadvantage to the land that we have to compete with foreigners. I am not seeking to relieve myself of tithe. I, for one, am willing to bear it for the sake of tl'e religion and morals of the people.-- (Cheers.) But when we are told that tithe is no burden on the people, I beg leave to say that the manufacturing interest, and the towns were of a dif ferent opinion so long as they' were themselves formerly subject- to the payment of tithe. Personal tithes, it may be known to many of you, on the profits of in dustry of all descriptions, the profits of every trade, arti fice, and negotiation were, in former times, as much within the power of the church as tithes on land. In course of time these personal tithes were in towns or changed for a tithe on houses. "By the statute of 2 and 3 Edward VI., 1549-50, c. 13, personal tithes enforced for the then future on every person exercising merchandise, bargaining, handicraft, &c., in such places as where within 40 years they have been accustomably paid, excepting day labourers, and allowing the ordinary to examine as to gains by all law ful means other than the party's oath. The Act not to extend to London or Canterbury, and their suburbs, nor to any other town where tithes have been paid en houses. Niger, Bishop of London, made a constitution in confirmation of ancient custom, establshing certain payments for houses in London (according to the num ber of Sundays and apostles' days), which amounted to about 2s. 6d. in the pound, on the rent. This con tinned till the 13th of Richard 11. (1380), when Arundel, A , chbishop of Canterbury, made an explana tion of Niger's constitution, by adding 22 more saints' days, so that about 3s. sd. in the pound became theamount. The citizens were very tumultuous, and great dissensions continued till, by an Act of Henry VIII. (about 1520), 2s. 9d. became the sum. After the Great Fire of Lon don there was a new regulation by Act of Parliament, and various sums from 1001. to 2001. a year were fixed on each of the city parishes, to be fairly apportioned. These sums were augmented by the 44th George 111. from 2001. to 3001.—in one parish to 333/. Personal tithes, 100 years vgo, scarce anywhere paid, unless for profits, by mills or fish. Recognised by the statute of 9th of Edward 11. (1316), as to mills ; but decided that corn-mills only were intended, and that other mills were not within the statute, nor is tithe due of such otherwise than by custom." Then when the manufacturers and townspeople tell us that tithe is no burden on land, I am bound to say that I am of a different opinion, and if we pay tithes, which the manufacturers do not, we are at least entitled to pro tection against the untithed produce of foreigners.— (Cheers.) So it is with the poor, •rate.—(Hear, hear.) Why, what did these noisy manufacturers con•ribute to wards the maintenance of the poor in this country ? (Hear, hear.) At the present moment there was a re duction in the poor rate owing to the great and unpa ralleled prosperity of this country, not arising out of the three years' free-trade measure of Sir R. Peel, but from those great works which were prosecuted by his lion. Friend, Mr. Hudson. The prosperity for which Sir R. Peel takes credit belongs to those great enterprises which my Hon. Friend, Mr. Hudson, has favoured and promoted. But, how does the case as regards the poor rate stand? I find that the lands pay 52 100ths of all contributions which are paid in this country for the maintenance of the poor; while the manfacturers pay but 11 100ths.—(lIear, hear.) Such being the case, have we not a right to say, that the landed interest pays.an undue proportion of the local burdens? —(Cheers.) The land-tax is the same, Look at Yorkshire. Yorkshire pays sid. in the pound of land-tax, while Norfolk pays Is. 54. ; Lancashire pays 2d. in the pound land-tax, while Essex pays Is. Bd.—(Hear, hear.) When there were such discrepancies as these in the burdens of the people, have we not a right to claim protection from the laned interest against the untithed produce of foreign countries, which contributes nothing towards the poor-rate of this country ?—(Cheers.) But I stand here the representative, not of an agricultural, but of a com mercial borough.—(Hear, hear.) I sand here as the re sresentative of the commercial marine of England, and I ask how are these measures of tree trade likely to affect your interests ?—(Hear, hear.) I have now in my pocket a return showi ng t h at t h e corn carr i e d c oastwi se , of British and Irish growth, employed 53,000 British sailors in 1845. I have also looked to see what the foreign corn has done for you.—(Hear, hear.) I regret to say that many of those connected with the shipping interest are so misguided, as I think, with aspect to th e ir own interests, that t h e y have joined with the free-trade Minister, and they hoped that their interests might be helped by a free trade in corn with other countries. Now I wish to examine this question, and I refer to the foreign corn trade in the last year. There were employed of British seamen, in carrying the corn of Poland, Russia, and other countries in Europe, to this country, only 5,000, and between 5,000 and 10,000 seamen of foreign countries.—(Hear.) Then I ask those engaged in the commercisi marine of this country—l ask not only the merchants but the seamen, whether they would not suffer by changing the home trade for the foreign. It is importing 2,000,000, or 3,000,000, or 4 foreignst heat in addition to that which we ai oo aoym oosntr the real question at issue is n r t eo a already consume; na ( ) e f ; this— whether the inhabitants of this country are to be fed by wheat of English, Scotch, and Irish growth, or by wheat ask e et your s of Poland,-Russia, and America.— the question.—(Renewed cheers). whe glTireohtwhaetth is s ou think you will gain by exchang ing your coasting trade, which employs annually 53,000 British seamen, for a trade which employs so few? —(Cheers). But it is said that all this is a mistake, and that there is no reason why the British shipping should not enjoy the same monopoly, under a free-trade system, of carrying the corn of other countries as of their own ; and that if the trade is now uncertain, that all that is owing to the sliding scale.—(Laughter.) Well, I turned my eyes to the timber duties and to the timber trade. As you are all aware, Sir R. Peel, in 1842, reduced the duties on foreign timber to the amount of 30s. a load, by which, in the course of the last year, he puts 17s. 6d. out of the 30s. into the pockets of the foreigner,—(Loud cheers.) It is true that he relieved the railway pro prietors of the tax of 12s. Gd. which they had before to pay ; but, in doing that, he sacrificed, as against the people of this country, 17s. 6d., which he puts into the pockets of foreigners.—(Hear, hear.) This i 3 the way I look at it. In 1839 the British merchants and the British seamen enjoyed the major part of the trade in timber with the Baltic. The number of British ships was 661, and of the seamen taking charge of them, 6,500. The foreigners had 640 ships and 5,900 sailors. I look in 1845, again, when Sir Robert Peel's measures came into full effect, and when we have all the blessings of free trade, as far as the shipping interest is concerned, engaged with the Baltic. What, then, is the condition of the merchants and of British seamen ? Why the 660 British ships have fallen to 640 ; and the British seamen, from being 6,500, or thereabouts, have fallen to about 5,000 or 6 000.—(Hear, hear.) But I turn and l oo k a t th e other side of the acco unt, and I fin d that the 630 or 640 foreign ships h ave trebled. in number, ha v i ng reached 1,890, and that the foreign seam en —D anes , Sw l e 7 d , e9soo Germans,. Prussians, Russians, &c.—h ave r i sen do for you—(Cheers) —and it t h at is wha t free trade has done for you in the case of t i mber, tak e care that it t o does not do as much for you in the case o f corn.— (Cheers.) It was, I think, in one of the hot days in June that this infernal Corn Bill passed.—(Hear.) I rejoice to see here my Noble Friend the Duke of Richmond. It was he who told the farmers of England that they, wh o h e ld the power to put Sir R. Peel in offiee, had also the power to turn him out.—(Cheers.) On the sam e d ay t h at the free-trade Corn Bill reeived the Royal assent, we kicked Sir R. Peel out of ofhee.—(Cheers.) It was said that we had disgusted the people of England thereby, as if the farmers of England were disgusted with what Mr. Cobden describes as poetical justice ! (Cheers.) I have seen a letter addressed to a gentleman whom we all know, Mr. Brereton, of the house of Brere ton and Blakeney, in Norfolk, from his correspondent at Liverpool, who, in terms of regret, inf orme d M r . Brereton, who is a mercha nt dealing in corn, that hence forth all their commercial relations must cease, for that Liverpool was so glutted with American flour that he really did not know bow to continue relations with Mr. Brereton in the corn trade, unless he could dispose of some American flour in Norfolk.—(Hear, and laughter.) Now, I ask the farmers of Norfolk, and I ask those en gaged in the coasting trade, what they think they will gain by exchanging their former system for free trade? —(Cheers.) But I am told that the shopkeepers Through out the country are in fav our o f free trade—this free ps sail-makers, and the slop -4 trade which, in timber and co rn, s upplanted British ship ping and seawn, apd supp l i ed t h eir lace from foreign c b o a u k i e rt r r s i , es t . he N b o u l t v e , h l er ‘ s e , ould a the grcoers, th e thebiscuit sellers, &c., of this town , whether they found most money spent in the p l ace when a ship of my respected friend Mr, Bagge comes born and is paid oft' in the port of Lynn, or when some Norwegian or Swedish ship, with some outlandish name, which I cannot pretend to pronounce, enters Lynn ? How much of thew ages of these foreigners was distribu. ed among the people of Lynn?—(Cheers.) Well, then, I turn to the farmers of England and of Norfolk.— (Hear, hear.) This is Tuesda)'s market, and I ask you all whether more money is not spent in Lynn on the Tuesday's market by the farmers of Norfolk and Lincolnshire than is spent in all the week besides? and then I ask you if you exchange the growing of corn by the farmers of Norfolk and Lincolnshire for the growing of corn by the farmers of Prussia, if you deprive them of the commodity they must sell before they can buy of you, I ask you all, not only those I have mentioned, but those who are engaged in the ironmongery trade, yvheelweights, and others, who combine all the trades nearly of this borough; if you de prive the farmers of their markets, and the means of purchase, I tells you, shopkeepers, though you may buy bread at half price, which you can never have, whether upon the change you would not be losers in the balance? But it is avowed by the whole of the cotton lords, by the manufacturers, by Mr. Cobden and Mr. Bright, that Lancashire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire are to govern England henceforth. The object is to rain new markets in America, Russia, mad Prussia; but if they do, it is by changing your markets, the markets of the English farmers, for the markets of the foreigner. They say, " Allow us to buy of the Americans, of the Prussians, of the Poles, and of the Russians, and they will take our cotton goods in return ;" but they forget that if they buy the corn of Russia, of Poland, of Prussia, or of America, they buy it instead of your corn, and if they do, you must say " We cannot buy their cottons," for the simplest of all reasons, you will have no means to pay for them when you have bought them.—(Cheers.) I look at these things, and what do I find? I find that even of one of those vaunted trades, the cotton trade, more than 3-sths of the whole are consumed in England, and that of the wjallen goods of the far-famed'Westßiding not 3. 5 ths, but !MN of the whole are consumed in England.— (Hear, hear.) It appears to me, and this I have always argued, that the first that will be ruined will be the manu facturers themselves. They -will change their customers whose monopoly they at present possess, fur new cus tomers who are not pleased to take their cotton goods at all.—(hear.) We were told by Sir R. Peel in an early part of the session that Prussia was shaken ; but she semis to be very firm, and determined to take nothing from England but semi-manufactured articles. Free trade now prevails ; but I have seen a return from the cotton trade of Manchester, by Messrs. Gibson of the state of trade until the 26th of July last, and they state that for years their trade has not been so dull as in the last month.—(Loud cheers.) It certainly seems by Burns' cotton Chart that in the last half year, as com pared with that of the six months preceding, there has been an increased export of between 8,000,000 and 9,000,0001 b. of cotton yarn, very nearly a raw material, it is too much to say semi-manufactured; but in the last six months, as compared with the six months before there was free trade, there was a diminution in plain and printed calicoes alone of not less than 33,000,000 of yards.— (Hear.) It therefore does not seem quite so certain that even the cotton-spinners will gain by this change.— (Hear.) But I must not lose sight of the great object before me. My great object here is to suggest to you the course which is to be pursued under the guidance of Lord Stanley—(Loud cheers)—if that able and power ful statesman, whom I have long been proud to follow —to whose opinions I look with undeviating confidence, and under whose confidence it is for me to take coun sel with you what we are to do for the future.—(Hear, hear.) I say you must not sit down and fold your arms. (Hear, hear.) If the landlords of England will not lead you as they ought you must act for yourselves—(Hear) —you must not he contented with canvassing the county elections—(Hear, hear)—but you must canvass in the boroughs and in the cities.—(Hear, hear.) You must explain to them in language that cannot be mis taken, that if they mean to live they must allow you to live also.—(llear, hear.) You must let them know that your existence. and with yours that of the agricultural labourers of England, depends upon them, and that upon yours must depend their own.—(Cheers.) Sir James Graham found it convenient to turn round upon all his former speeches—(Elear, hear)—and to say that this has ceased to be an agricultural, and has become a commercial country.—(Cry of " No, no.") Yes ; Sir J. Graham said so. I heard him say, on the 10th June, last year, that one-third of the entire population of the empire were interested in agricultural pursuits, and rested for their subsistence upon the prosperity of' agri culture. I will examine that statement now, and I find, upon looking back to the official census, that he was not mistaken. I find, that in the year 1831, that census gives 18,000 and odd, not of persons, but of families engaged in agriculture ; and, allowing five to a family, which is the allowance always made, you have 9,000,000 persons in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland engaged in agriculture alone.— (Cheers.) I then turn to the same census to look at the mass of the manufacturing interests, and there I find that, including factories of all, descriptions, not of families, but of persons employed in all the factories, cotton, woollen, linen, and silk, and in all the mines to gether, the number does not exceed 1,000,000. — (Hear, hear.) Well, then, although I admit that more children and women are employed than in agricultural pursuits, if you take three in a family, it will give you something like 4,000,000 persons engaged in manufac tures against 9,000,030 engaged in agriculture—( Hear, bear)—and with all that before us we are now told that Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire are hence forth to govern England.— (Cheers.) .But, my Lords and gentlemen, I have now done with the commercial question, and I come to the constitutional question— (Cheers)—and eagerly as I have contested this question, I will say that if the question of agriculture had been honestly fought between the two contending parties upon its fair merits, I should never have been heard in the conflict—(Hear, hear)—but, as you all know, with out any personal interest of my own, I felt with the feel ing of an Englishman.—(Loud cheers.) lam accused of rude, coarse, and violent language, and of using such license as never before was heard within the walls of Parliament or had disgraced its dignity.—( Hear, hear.) In the first instance I was roused to vengeance by the way in which I saw the whole agricultural constituencies of the empire betrayed.—(Cheers.) If anything could have justified a man in rising in rebellion it would have been the conduct of the late Prime Minister of England. —(Hear, hear.) If I used strong language, a license that had never before been suffered in the House of Commons, it was because neither in my own time nor in the time of living men had there ever been an act of such prodigious tergiversation—(Cheers)—of such treachery, of such political profligacy, as was com mitted by the Government of Sir R. Peel.— (Cheers.) Why, gentlemen—l know not how—but the opinion appears to have got abroad that the constituencies are fair game; that they are to be treated as the goods and chattels of their representatives; that Members of Par liament arc entitled to come down with vows and pro mises, to break them and to depart from the engage ments entrusted to them, and then to sell the electors at the bidding of the Minister or dictator of the day.— (Cheers.) As long as there is spirit in Englishmen I will defend them—l will rise in indignation against such conduct as that. It has given me a tongue that for 18 years was silent in the House of Commons—(Cheers) — and if I am to be told that I have used a license that has disgusted the country, I answer that I believe that if I spoke from my own heart, I spoke the language of the hearts of the nation.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) I can see no difference between political and any other lying.—(Cheers.) I see no difference whether a man obtains political power, and with power all its emolu ments and advantages, by false pretences, or whether a poor and starving individual in the streets, to save his life and that of his family, obtains bread by false pre tences.—(Cheers.) Well, then, this is the position of affairs now. lam blamed by many of my friends that I have turned Sir Robert Peel out of power.—(Loud cries of "No," and cheers.) Now, I avowed from the first that if free trade was to prevail, it ought to be carried by honest men.—(Great cheering.) We were told that this measure was to be carried partly, I am sorry to think, by the assistance of one to whom this country must ever owe a debt of gratitude. I mean the Duke of Welling ton.— (Hear, hear.) I believe it was carried in a great measure through his means, who told the Peers of Eng land that it was to save the Queen of England from the government of Cobden that they must consent to vote against their etnsciences.—(hear, hear.) Now, I say, for one, that I had rather be governed by Cobden than by Sir Robert Peel.--(Loud cheers.) We ask for an open and an honest foe, and we find no difficulty in repel ling his honesty ; but we were betrayed by Judas pro fessing regard for the poor.—(Loud cheers.) I there fore call on you to exert yourselves now, and show that you have still courage and manliness, and that you still have the spirit that ever distinguished Englishmen, and that you will not be made a base utensil to serve the dirty purposes of every trading politician. The Noble Lord then sat down amidst vehement and long-continued cheering. Mr. Serjeant BYLES, proposed the health of the Duke of Richmond and the House of Lords. The Duke of IlicHmoND, who was loudly cheered on presenting himself; returned thanks in a short but im passioneespeech, in the course of which he called upon them to adopt as their motto " No Surrender." Mr. Locx, a yeoman of Norfolk, then proposed the health of the Marquis of Granby. The Marquis of GRANBY returned thanks. The Hon. Mr. WILSON proposed the health of Mr. Disraeli. Mr. Disaar.at, who, for several minutes, could not obtain a hearing, owing to the enthusiastic cheering with which he was greeted, spoke as follows :—My Lord Chairman, and gentlemen, if I h a d those mystical powers of compelling silence which the person who rings the bell has on several occasions demonstrated with so much success, I would not have detained you so l ong while I recaive from you a sympathy too flattering, and which I wish I could believe I might ever deserve. --(Cheers.) But I need not tell you, it would indeed be rhetorical affectation were I to tell you now how sen sible I am of the honour which I have received to. day from your hands, and that this is an occasion which must ever rank in my life among those which I shall ever cherish. You have met to-day to pay a deserved homage to the representative you have long trusted, and who never has betrayed yota—a(Cheers.) You have seen him to-day, 'After events of. deep and PRICE SD. ' terest, in which he has played a part the most promi nent. You have listened to-day to the Noble Duke near me, who had every claim to your respect because he had every claim to your confidence.—(Cheers.) You have listened to-day to my noble friend Lord Granby, who has displayed on thie occasion, as on others, when I have observed him with delight in the House of Com moes—all the pure spirit of a high chivalric courage, and the expression of a natural eloquence, which is never excited with more eff ct than when it vindicates the cause of the people.—(Cheers.) You have listened to others well entitled to command and to charm ; but I am a stranger among you—and known to you only by some slight endeavours to vindicate the cause, which my constituency ten years ago sent me to Parliament to uohold—(Cheers)— and to which, even in its apparently fallen fortunes, I can tell you—l hardly need tell you in a scene like this—it is some consolation to feel that I have never been recreant.—(Cheers:) Having this solid claim, a claim shared by so many to your kindness—l need not , say I assure sou that I am not only deeply sensible of your kindness, but much affected by it.-- (Loud cheers.) The circumstances which have occurred in this country during the last eventful year are, I may say, unpre . eedented in the history of England, and con sidering that we have enjoyed longer than any other country a free constitution, I need not say that they are unprecedented in the history of the world.—(Cheers.) I should be ashamed of any rhetorical exaggeration, and I do not mean to say that I have not seen changes as great as we have witnessed lately—that there have not been revolutions as vast, or in their effects even more signifi cant. I cannot forget that empires have fallen and never appeared again; that constitutions hare been destroyed and had never again been called into existence.—(Hear, hear.) I cannot forget such events as the French revo lution; but these are not to be brought into parallel with that to which I refer, which with so much ceremony and silence has been perpetrated in England. Now, a change so great in its conception. and it might be so vast in its results, was brought about by such means—(Cheers)—and carried into effect by such ma chinery.—(Renewed cheers.) In other revolutions there had been a struggle between contending parties and the weakest fell, but this is the first time of a great change —no less than a revolution in the material system which regulates the industry of the greatest nation in the world—perpetrated in such a manner that I cannot com pare the strugg!e to a fair encounter—to the glorious days of Waterloo, but to an expression which has been used in another place—to a stab in the back. —(Cheers.) It was indeed one of those perpetrations worthy of the Italian middle ages, when the point of the stiletto, or the poisoned mouth of the goblet, settled the fate of an individual.—(Cheers.) Whatever may be the conse quences of this change, I will say that the change has been conceived in panic and cansummated in treachery. —(Cheers.) We find in it all the temerity of the pol troon, and all the courage of the assassin. —(Hear, hear.) The protectionists had to fight in an unexpected battle, and the difficulties we experienced were not slight, fur when we assembled together we had to find a commander, to form a staff, to educate officers, and to discipline our army.—(Cheers.) You will readily be lieve that it was no agreeable event to find Parliament assembled, and ourselves obliged to oppose men whom we had assisted in placing at the head of affairs only five years ago.—(Hear, hear.) To such as maintain that we ought not to have so strongly opposed a Minis try we had before supported, I answer, if you ask a man to dine with you, and detect him stealing silver spoons, it is no breach of hospitality to show him to the door.—(Cheers and laughter.) I confess that to be nearly the case with the late Government. It may not be very flattering to their feelings, that the necessary consequence of their conduct accompany them, but when I see them sitting on one of the most solitary Opposition benches that probably ever existed, sep ara t e d as if th e y were in quarantine, not a single member hardly among the janisaries or renegades venturing to take their places among them ; when I see that those who enter into the troublesome contagion walk about the House of Com mons as if they bore the yellow flag, I see a great moral lesson ! and whether the principles of free trade aro right or wrong, it is well for the morality of England that these gentlemen were expelled from power, When I talk of the scanty Opposition benches of . m those Mi nisters, punished as they have been—legi timately and properly punished—(Cheers)—l do not wish you to sup pose I am at all inclined to support the policy of their successors.—(Hear, hear.) The difference between the sentiments of Lord John Russell and Sir R. Peel is not so great in principle, but it is vastly significant in ex pression. —(Hear.) I should say, withoutany exception, the most guarded free trader I ever became acquainted with is Lord John Russell—(Hear)—but I pretend not to prophesy, because if we are to judge by what he has done he is ready fur everything.—(Laughter.) But we must distinguish between the mature conviction of Lord J. Russell and that puerile fanaticism which marked the late Prime Minister of England—(Cheers and laughter) —which, if it were developed by a youth instead of dis tinguishing a Prime Minister of more than mature years—(A laugh)--e e could only regard as that phrensy which results from meeting a particular ani mal in the dog-days.—(Laughter.) I say this be cause I do not wish our policy to be misconstrued if Nye do not go into a mechanically violent opposi tion against the present Government. It was sufficient to show to the people of this country that we had all done our duty under an exigency so re markable. What we wished the people of England to see was this—that although our chiefs had forgotten us, we remembered our constituents—(Hear, hear')—and all that we see in the present Government is but a further reflex of the last, as the last was but an exaggerated copy of the gentlemen of Manchester.—(Hear, hear.) No sooner was Lord John Russell Prime Minister of England than he repeated the tale of Sir Robert Peel. He told you that the principle upon which he was going to conduct the government of England with respect to its commercial policy was the principle of buying in the cheapest market and selling in the dearest. That was the principle of Mr. Cobden, who stole it from Mr. Deaccn Hume. From Mr. Cobden it came to Sir Robert Peel, and it now becomes the principle of Lord John Russell, as it was the principle of Mr. Cobden and Sir Robert Peel.—(Laughter.) You remember in the " Arabian Nights" that a hunchback swallowed a fish bone that stuck in his throat, and he became apparently dead. He was then recommended to be thrown down a chimney to remove the bone. It was done, but with out effect, and he was then thrown down one chimney after another until he had gone through the street.— (Great laughter.) Still it was all of no use, he re mained in the same condition. At this moment Lord John Russell has the hunchback in his possession.— (Laughter.) Whether he will extract the fishbone from his throat or not I do not know, but I am certain of this, that all those gentlemen who are so devoted to this prin ciple are too ready, when once they have served their turn, to wash their hands of all responsibility.—(Hear, and a laugh.) That principle, I believe, made a clerk in the Customs a Secretary of the Treasury. It made Mr. Cobden the head of a great agitation movement. It kept Sir Robert Peel in power when he did not know how otherwise he might govern the country--(A laugh) —and now, notwithstanding Lord John Russell's letter, it has made him Prime Minister.—(Hear, and a laugh.) The question is, having got the hunchback, how will he get rid of him ?—(Laughter.) He has announced that it is the interest of England to buy in the cheapest and to sell in the dearest market. I will not enter into any details on the subject ; it, is not that I doubt the principle, but I not only deny that it is the true principle of commerce, but I deny that it is the principle of commerce at all. It is the principle of trade, it is the principle of retail trade, but it is not the principle of commerce, and like all al leged principles which are false, I will show you it can not be practised. The real principle of commerce is barter, an interchange on equal terms of equivalent ad. vantages.—(Hear. hear.) Why, some years back, this was a favourite theme of the political economists. It was received and hailed as an axiom. I accept it as such. It is utterly antagonistic to the new, the pseudo principle of commerce, now so much vaunted. Why, gentlemen, if this rule be good at all, it is good for all ; the principle is a general principle. Try it as such ; if it be good for you it is good fur every other nation. If you sell in the dearest market, they will sell in the dearest market ; and, therefore, if you buy of them you will buy at the greatest advantage, or you, according to this new principle, will sell at the greatest advantage. What you gain in one way you will lose in another. Why, this is the " vicious circle" again, of which we have recently heard so much. The political economists used to allege against the system of protection that it robbed Peter to pay Paul ; that it took from one pocket to put it in another. Our answer to the political econo mists is, that the system of protection is not to be merely or principally judged by its pecuniary results ; it pro poses to itself other objects than the wealth of nations ; it thinks that the happiness of the people is a necessary ingredient of the wealth of nations.—(llear.) Gentle men, our system may be right or it may be wrong ; the meditation of every day the more convinces that it is wise and just. But thee grounds cannot be alleged by the political economists. Their system must be weighed on its money results, and by none other. It aims at no moral objects ; and I show you that, viewed in this light—the only light in which it can be considered—this great principle, which is the basis of all the new mea sures, which has distracted the mind and disturbed the fortunes of England, is a fallacy, a self-confounding and self-destroying fallacy.—(Cheers.) After this violation of ull public honour and private faith—after all this, we suddenly find the Government of this country in the hands of Lord J. Russell, but he has confessed they are in a minority in both Houses of Parliament, and they do not pretend they are in a majority in the country, or why do they not appeal to it?—(Cheers and laughter.) Well then, what is the secret reason of all this change?--(Hear, hear.) Why is Lord J. Russell Prime Minister at this present moment? He comes forward and tells you his reason is that he is seeking to maintain a policy which is to allow Engle - Ad to buy in the cheapest market and to sell in the dearest. Ask Sir R. Peel the reason for his conduct, and he will refer you to that apothegm. Ask Mr, Cobden, and ht will also refer you to that axior.e.—(Laughter.) Nu one can deny this, that it is a most unprecedented state of affairs.—(Hea l :, hear.) There is something mystical. something cabalistic in that sentence to have produced such 4 change.—(Hear, hear.) Where is the great agri cultural interest which is the basis of the polity of England, and has been for centuries? I cannot believe that this nation—and when I say this nation I Mebll all classes—with their primary intelligence will Or I T 9 ~~L be governed by words -..will be degraded to a mere dis tinction between hocus and pocus.—(Great laughter.) Will the blood of men and the spirit of a free court result in such an ignominious and mystical catastrophe? •—(Hear, hear.) lam not one of those who, under any circumstances, will despair. The agricultural interest, and I mean by the agricultural interest two-thirds of the English people, who depend directly orindire b c e t e l n y upon the cultivation of their nativ e soil, have oftentimes assaulted, though perhaps not under circum stances so particular as the present. But they have risen trom the sod they cultivate with renewed energy. —(Hear.) They are like that great gentleman who sits upon the throne of France, who bears a " charmed life" —(Cheers)—and notwithstanding the pistols of the re formed tariff, and that infernal machine the Corn Im portation Act, I believe that they will baffle all the ma noeuvres and machinations of their enemies. —(Cheers.) But my Hon. Friend has told you we are met here to day, not so much to moralise upon the past as to, speculate upon the future. To his theme and plan every man of intelligence did respond. I know that what he states here he practises in another place.—(Great cheering.) But I know, and I trust under other circum stances, we shall retrace our steps. I believe cue shall retrace our steps. I expressed that opinion lately in another place, and a great authority questioned the justness of that position. It was said then, that applied to some events of no great importance, it might be true. The instances I quoted were not very slight ones. I referred to a throne which was subverted, yet before which you now bow—(Cheers)--of an altar which was overwhelmed, yet before which you now kneel. I spoke of high courts of Parliament which were abrogated, yet Members of which are now meeting the farmers of Norfolk and the burgesses of Lynn at this festival. I referred to financ;al revolutions, which, after a century are declared unjust ; of changes no less important than the abrogation of slavery, which the Ministers and political economists of the present day have, scarcely with a disguise, confessed to be a blunder; and according to the money, in opposition to the moral, principle they are so. But if the principle that the history of England is the history of reaction be true, as Lord J. Russell admits, in slight instances, and be true, as I have proved, in great ones, it must b e admitted that it is a rule of very general application.-- ( Hear, hear.) Mind I do not say universal application-- I leave rules of universal application to political econoe mists.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, the principle. is in controvertible, and Lord J. Russell is the last man who should controvert it. Why, what has been for nearly two centuries the prime policy of the house of Bedford and of the great historical party of which they are the chiefs? Certainly this—to prevent the government of Ireland being in the hands of the Roman Catholic popula tion.—(Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, I give no opinion now upon the policy or impolicy of that course—l wish to enter into no controversy upon it—l refer merely to a political fact and to an historical illustration. No one can impugn the accuracy of my statement,. (Hear, hear.) And I ask you now, at this day, what is the prime policy of the house of Bedford, represented, by Lord John Russell, and of the great historical party of which he is the able leader? Unquestionably to place the Government of Ireland principally in the bands of the Roman Catholic population. Lord John Russell and the Whigs then are retracing their steps, and this is another proof that the history of England is the history of reaction. The Hon. Gentleman concluded his address by again referring to the Corn Bill, and saying that that reaction would speedily lead to its repeal, and resumed his seat amidst great cheering. Various other toasts were then drunk, amongst which were " The Health of the Earl of Oxford, the chairman," Mr. Miles, M.P., &c., shortly after which the party broke up. -- - APPREHENDED CHOLERA IN THE METROPOLIS. A public meeting was held on Tuesday, at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of de ciding as to the best means to be adopted in order to prevent or lessen the evils that would result from the breaking out of cholera in the metropolis. The room R a s s not very crowded, but several medical gentlemen practising in the city of London and its suburbs, and persons known to take an interest in the cleansing and drainage of the City, were present, and took an active part in the proceedings. At half-past twelve o'clock the Rev. Jas. Harris was called to the chair. Mr. COCHRANE first addressed the meeting. He commenced by alluding to the horrible nature of the Asiatic cholera, and to the causes which produced it, or at least considerably aggravated the symptoms. These were the noxious vapours emanating from drains and uncovered sewers, and the effluvia arising from accumulated filth, such as rotten vegetables, stagnant water, &c., which all must have noticed more or less in different parts of London and the suburbs, Amongst other things, he stated that in Westminster alone there were 10,000 gully holes communicating with sewers, one half of which were stopped up. The result was the exhalation of pestilential gases, which even in the absence of any epidemic could not fail to prove highly injurious to the public health. For the remedy of this e‘il the introduction of legis lative measurs had been recommended, but he did not think it would he advisable to wait for that ; he thought the plague itself might make its appearance before the evil was removed, if people de layed in the hope of such means as those alluded to being taken. He intended submitting a resolution to the meeting. in which the Lord Mayor would be re quested to convene a public meeting, in order to take measures for the removal of what might be the cause_of a dreadful calamity. Mr. GOULD was happy to say that he bad the Lord Mayor's authority for stating that there was no such thing as Asiatic cholera at present in the metropolis. He therefore hoped the meeting would not come to any resolutions which might tend to cause unnecessary alarm to the public.—(Bear, hear.) He himself was of opi nion that the mere calling of a public meeting for the consideration of such a question bad been unadvisable a but now that it was assembled, some good might be done by considering the state of the streets of London with reference to drainage and sewerage, and the good that must always be produced by the promotion of habits of cleanliness among the poor. He then called attention to the baths and washhouses established in Glasshouse-yard and East Smithfield, and to the pleasure with which the poor resorted to them. There was no de nying the beneficial effcctsproducedby these institutions, but it was also worthy of remark that at the very door of these free baths, dirt., stagnant water, and refuse of all deueriptions, were collected, thus.directly counteracting the advantages resulting to the poorer classes from the cleanly condition of their bodies and clothes. Dr. CHARLES J. Cox spoke of the immense amount of diarrhoea at present affecting the inhabitants of Lon. don. It was chiefly found among the poor, and was oc casioned, in addition to other causes, by consumption of unripe and rotten fruit, the selling of which, he said, ought to be prevented by the police. He proposed a resolution appointing a committee of medical men to de cide on some simple remedy for the prevalent diseasta„ and which should be sold by all the chemists and druggists. This resolution was subsequently negatived. Dr. E. MOORE had had much experience in cases of cholera. What was termed the English cholera was, doubtless, very prevalent, and he had met with one case in which the symptoms bad been very similar to those of the Asiatic cholera. lie had informed the Secretary of State of the fact, but had merely received an acknowledgment of his letter. He thought considerable blame was attached to. the parochial authorities for the filthy manner in which the streets were kept ; the sewer rate was most con scientiously exacted, but though the outlay of a few hun dred pounds would render the neighbourhood in whieh. hellived (Bethnal-green) both clean and healthy, nothtig was done towards its improvement. Mr. GOULD considered it unwise to become h meeting of alarmists, for to that •he thought it was approaching. He hoped it would be perfectly understood by the publics that no cholera of the Asiatic description was at present in London. ti t o h n e , n c t al o i a i k ng p l l l a p ee on , which A v e e r o y d l o o d n g i !I a t n h d e d desultor adoptiony od o the Lord Mayor to consider the facts that had been f is a mi res s o h lu n brought forward - at the meeting, and to take measures for improving the sanatory condition of the metropolis.: After a rote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting adjourned until Thursday next, (this day) at one o'clock. TRUNDER-STORM of YESTERDAY Yesterday forenoon, about 10 o'clock, in consequence of the rapid rise of the Fleet sewer, two more houses in Round court, Brook-hill, Clerkenwell-green, adjacent to the two which tell down on Saturday night last, were so undermined by the violence of the current, that they came down with a tremendous crash, causing the greatest alarm to the neigh bourhood. One of them was in the possession of Mr. Fox, black-lead dealer, and which is used as a workshop, From the appearance of other houses in the locality, the shock has placed them in much danger, and there are fears among the inhabitants that several more abutting on the sewer rose yesterday between seven and eight feet above its usual level, and in some instances poured into the rooms of the first floor. The most of the houses along the sides of the sewer, which is at this part, and for many hundred feet upwards not enclosed, have been built between 100 and 200 years. They are situated in the track of the line of the in tended new street, the Act for which was obtained about two years ago. ROCHESTER, Arc. s.—During the storm yesterday a vivid flash of lightning, which appeared to take its course throunh , the Iligh-street of Rochester, was observed to cross the river, and suddenly darting downward, struck the topmast of the Neptune, which was riven to pieces, the fragments being scattered to a considerable distance on to and around the adjoining buildings. The electric fluid descended by the funnel into the cabin, where its effects were most de destructive, every article of furniture being more or less damaged, and the stove rent in twain. One of the cables was also cut asunder. At this moment there were two per sons below, and their escape was most providential. One of them, William Blackford, was knocked down by the shock, and was for a time almost unconscious of what bad oc curred, but, fortunately, sustained no injury. his com panion also escaped unhurt. Their safety is attributed to the nature of the cargo, the vessel being laden with packs of wool, and which is now unloading in order to ascertain the extent of the damage done to her, which, it is believed, is such as to render her unfit for the voyage. It being the flow of the tide, the vessel's mast rose considerably above the surrounding buildings, and thus, perhaps, pre served more.yaluable property from the destructive effects of the storm. FUNERAL OF SIR GEORGE MURRAY.—The remains of this lamented officer were removed frcm the family resi dence, in Belgrave-square, yesterday, for interment in the family vault, at Kensal-green Cemetery. The cortege con sisted of a hearse, several mourning coaches, and the private carriages of the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of An glesey, Sir F. Trench, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and others.
