Immediately afterwards the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER delivered his first official harangue, redolent of statistics, and evidencing, in its wholesale accumulation and accurate ar rangement of facts, the efficacy of a judicious premeditation. Sir ROBERT PEEL subsequently revealed his intentions with reference to the approach ing division upon finis comprehensive measure, and, in doing so, justified the anticipations of his ad mirers, by plainly declaring his determination not to embarrass the Prime Minister " by a vexatious opposition." The nearer we approach to the settle ment of this great question, the more chimerical do the arguments against the Ministerial policy appear : the farther we advance upon the road to a Parliamentary division, the less is the progress of this Bill impeded by obstructiohs. The protectionists, from the capricious character of their antagonism, no longer have recourse to their habitual scarecrow " the destruction of either native or colonial industry!" They have, with considerable ingenuity, conjured up a totally different phantom, and one which they have foolishly expected to scare away the followers of Lord JOHN RUS SELL, and to awe the commercial reformers into submission. IThforturiately, hosiever, this same phantom —a phantom illustrative of serfdom, and manacles, and cruelty—has partaken somewhat of the usual characteristics of phantoms ; it has enabled the Legislature to walk right through it, as the chieftain is described to have done through the ghost in OSSIAN. Before the termination of this session it will have " melted into thin air," and evaporated even from the recollection of the multitude. It is easy enough for the orator to deride with a scornful intonation the terribiles visu forma of the supposed famine consequent upon the disease in the potatoes, and to enforce the necessity of affording en couragement to those who, to their avowed detriment acceded to the abolition of slavery. It is very easy' to influence the reason of a sensitive and reli gious people by eloquent definitions of true morality, by vivid portraitures of the victims of a petty tyranny, by supposititious stripes and imaginary scenes of brutality. It is easy indeed to speak of the pro• posed equalisation of the sugar duties in language so opprobrious as to risk the degradation of the pathetic to the burlesque—by representing the sugar basin (possibly at the elbow of some unwitting Mr. BustanE) as half filled with a little puddle of blood. It is easy, as we have already acknowledged, to do all this, and to terminate with a peroration eulogistic of the joys of freedom. But, while themselves assuming tones of such unnecessary indignation, while it is manifest to every one else that the suppression of slavery has about as much chance of being realised by the rejection of slave•grown sugar as Captain WARNER has of discharging his long range into the moon, and thereby exploding that celestial satellite, all the eloquence and pathos and benevolence of the most eloquent, pathetic, and bene volent intellect goes for literally nothing. It is pouring precious liquids into a cullender. Much has already been written about this measure of Lord Joust RUSSELL'S affording patrona„ e to the slave trade, of rendering the hardships of those already in captivity more intense and irksome, and of reduplicating the number of such victims, by inciting the slave-owning planters to import more human cattle from the coast of Africa. If such were really the necessary consequence of this measure, if such even were the probable consequence of this measure, the whole of this free and sympathising nation would have revolted at its first proposition. The people of England would long before this present moment have arisen with indignation, and protested, in a voice which .would have found an echo in the re cesses. of Africa . and on the shores of the Brazil, against a proceeding so dastardly and criminal. If there were any truth whatever in the assertions of those who oppose this measure, as one likely to foster and propagate the infernal system of the slave trade, that enlightened House of Legislation, which only a few years back inscribed upon its records a solemn reprobation of that system, which enforced that re probation by a gratuity to those who might suffer from the dismissal of their serfs—a gratuity of the most magnificent character—and which, in addition to all this, actually overstepped the restrictions of international law, for the purpose of preventing the increase of slavery among other nations—that august House of Legislation would have spurned a measure thus likely to annul all their glorious labour, suppos ing any one had been capable of concocting or of in troducing such a measure. Is it likely, indeed, that for the sake of decreasing the grocer's bill by a few pence, the people of this country would destroy the trophy which they have purchased with twenty millions of pounds sterling ? Does it not stand to reason that they would rather swallow unsweetened puddings and sugarless tea than render any dish toothsome by the woes of entire generations ? These protectionists examine the sugar question under the magnifying influence of their prejudices, and are, in consequence, incapable of considering its relations with themselves, the colonies, and with foreign slave owners. The attention of the Legislature is directed solely upon the possible woes of th e Af r i can race, but not a t all to the actual miseries of our native slaves. Our legislators are implored to consider the advi sability of caring for the welfare of a few Hill Coolies, who have as yet to be found out, persuaded to immigrate, and then to be conveyed to our colonial plantations. But not a syllable is uttered in behalf of those thousands of our fellow countrymen (the Hill Coolies of Devonshire, as we have already called them), who would be raised from a deplorable state of destitution and inaction, by finding additional customers for our manufactures, and thus enabling them to obtain employment. The Ministerial measure for the alteration of the duties upon sugar would bring new customers to our markets, the factors would require additional hands to supply this additional demand, and these native 11111 Coolies would obtain the requisite em ployment. ALEXANDER POPE, more than a century ago, under the masquerading name of MAUTINUS SCRIBLERUS, tether . profane problem- e s_ " Whether an existent fly or a poss ibl e angel _ were of most importance in the eyes of Omnipotence?" With greater reason, and after a different fashion, we may put this companion problem—" Whether an ex istent English labourer or possible Hill Coolie had a greater claim upon the sympathies and consideration of our Legislature ?" The solution of that problem will be in the division upon the sugar duties. The coroner's inquest on the unfortunate soldier WHITE, was resumed yesterday, and the pro ceedings were in the highest degree interesting, in volving the evidence of the medical men, as to the cause of death, and the statements of Colonel WHYTE and Dr. WARREN. The statement of the soldier ELSWoETR was also curious, illustrating in a forcible manner the quantity of punishment in the regiment, and its total inefficiency for the purpose for which it is sanctioned. The witness admitted that he had deserted twice—on one occasion, be cause he had been sentenced to be flogged. We do not think a desertion under such circumstances could excite much surprise : where is the man who, being sentenced to death, if an opportunity for escaping offered itself, would hesitate about availing hi mse lf thereof? The instinct of self-preservation would compel him to adopt such a course. The wit ness had been five years in the regiment, during which period he had been flogged seven times. He has not, however, been flogged since 1844, and therefore the seven instances must have occurred in about three years, or, on an average, once every five months. Can such things be possible in this land of liberty and freedom ? He also stated that many men in the regiment had been tried for desertion, and that many had deserted more frequently than he had. We can easily credit the statement. Few persons would willingly remain subjected to such an iron rule, such stringent severity, as:that to which the unfortunate soldiers of the 7th Hussars have been exposed, with even non-commissioned ofEcers, so jealous of their dignity as to demand a punishment on a private for answering in a less abject tens than appeared suited to their dignity, and with a commander, who conceives one hundred lashes an adequate punishment for a private who, having only joined the regiment a few weeks heft,' e, on being reprimanded and punished for such an answer, inquires for his guidance in what 6=4lira is tO lOW% tai 016 two.

The ravages of the storm extended as far as Coliguy," Letters from Macon give terrible accounts of the ravages of the storm in that district. So completely have the hailstones destroyed the vintage that there is scarcely a bunch of grapes left in the comtnune. The vines are entirely stripped of their leaves, and whole fields which had promised a rich harvest appear as if they had fallen a prey to a conflagration. The damage done is incalculable and many families are utterly ruined. Several incendiary fires have taken place in the neighbourhood of Troyes. At Bouilly seventeen houses and barns have been burned down. the important—question in the case s howeVer, is, whale was the cause - of the death of the unfortu nate man ?...ce-Wat that death occasioned, or was it in any degree accelerated, by the flogging ? for if there is even the possibility of such a result, the British people, who have already procured the abolition of capital punishment in almost every instance save that of wilful and aggravated murder, and of which a large and influential portion are conscientiously opposed to its infliction under any circumstances Whatsoever, will surely spare no exertions, will leave no step untried, to procure the total and immediate disuse of the horrible lash. The medical gentlemen examined differ on this important point, for while these connected with the army adhere to the opinions expressed in the certifi cate signed by them previous to the inquiry before the Coroner being instituted, and assert that the cause of death was in no wise connected with the corporal punishment, although they stated a totally different cause from that assigned by Dr. WARREN in his cer tificate to the registrar of deaths for the district, Mr. WILSON positively and distinctly states his de cided opinion, that there can be no doubt that the man would be alive now had it not been for the corporal . punislanent he was subjected to. Under these circumstances, it will be for the jury to decide between the learned gentlemen, and many points will, of course, be taken into consideration before the conclusion can be arrived at. The weight and character of the witnesses, the opportunities they have had for post-mortem examinations, and the proba bility, the verisimilitude of the reasons assigned for the opinions arrived at. Now, Mr. WILsoN states that he has been a lecturer on anatomy for more than twelve years, and that during that period he had opened from 500 to 1,000 bodies. This would certainly, without taking into consideration his surgical' testi monials, which are of the highest character, entitle any opinion of his to the greatest weight. It must, too, be recollect( d that Mr. WiLsox had not previously ex pressed an opinion which he must naturally have been anxious to maintain, nor could he be supposed to have any prejudice or feelings on the subject of military punishment, save those in which Le must be supposed to participate with every man of common humanity. On the contrary, he states that if he had been pressed at the time of his examination to give his opinion with respect to the corporal punishment, he would have agreed with the other gentlemen that it was not the cause of death. His opinion, therefore, is based on the appearances he observed during the post-mortem examination —an advantage not enjoyed by the military surgeons, who might, bad their attention been attracted thereto, have agreed with Mr. WILSON in opinion. During his long practice Mr. WILSON had never observed similar appearances. His entire evidence is worthy of the closest perusal and most serious consideration ; his explanations are so per fectly simple and plain, that, although couched in medical terms, they can be most easily understood by the non-professional reader. He states that in the spine there were no indications of disease. The muscles were disorganised by corporal punishment, and he had no doubt that this induced the inflamma tion which occasioned his death ; and he gives the following as the result of his observations, viz.:— " On raising the muscles or flesh off the ribs and spine, I found a part of the deepest layer of muscles—namely, that which lay in contact with the bones—in a state of dis organisation, and converted into soft pulp. In medical language, I should call this a pulpy softening of the muscles. Its seat was the sixth and seventh ribs, near their attach ment to the spine, together with their intervening space, and the hollow between the sixth and seventh pieces of spine. The extent of the disorganisation was about three inches in length by about one inch and a half in its greatest breadth, and between half an inch and a quarter of an inch in thickness. In the space be tween the ribs the muscles had undergone this pulpy alte ration, even so deep as the lining membrane of the chest, the --softened muscles being in absolute contact with the lining membrane. That portion of the flesh which occupied the groove of the spine, and had undergone similar disorganisa tion was one of the little muscles known to medical men under the name of multifidus spinal. In addition to the softening of this little muscle, it was partly surrounded with blood. It was in a state medically called ecchvmosed. The interior of the spine was in a state of extreme decomposition. The tissue between the spinal canal and the spinal sheath was filled with a dark-coloured fluid, resulting from decomposition. The sheath itself was smooth and polished on its internal surface, a state indicative of health. It was perfectly devoid of nervous substance, which had been converted into fluid by decomposition, and had flowed away. The nerves remained, and presented a healthy appearance, so that as far as the spine is concerned, I discovered no indication of disease. Two questions naturally arise out of the preceding examination— first, what was the cause of the pulpy softening of the muscles? second, could the state of disorganisation preceding the pulpy softening influence the disease existing in the chest? The cause of the pulpy softening I believe to have been the excessive contraction of the muscles taking place during the agony of punishment. This excessive contrac tion would produce laceration, and subsequent inflamma tion of the muscles, and the inflammation being repellative. would, in consequence of the depressed state of the powers of the nervous system of the sufferer, be of the disorganised kind which results in pulpy softening. Had the man lived, disorganisation of the muscles would in time have been re paired. As regards the second question, there can be no doubt that, although the cause of inflammation of the con tents of the chest is cold, acting in conjunction with physical or moral depression, and might have been the cause in the case of the deceased, yet, the presence of a portion of muscle in a state of disorganisation and inflammation, in close con tact with the lining membrane of the chest, ought to be ade quate to the same effect. Certainly no surge( n would feel comfortable with regard to the state of his patient if he were aware of such dangerous proximity." A letter from Toulon, dated July 20th, from which the following is an extract, is published in the Marseilles journals. The writer expressly states that h. attaches no credit to the rumour : " The Descartes,_ steam-frigate, which had been detached from the French Mediterranean squadron at the moment it left Tunis, arrived at Malta on the 11th with despatches. A report was soon in circulation that the Prince de Joinville had demanded permission from the English authorities to enter that port with his squadron, to pass his quarantine there, and that the request had been refused. It was cer tain, however, that the French squadron did not enter the port, and that it would pass its period of quarantine at sea. "-As the entrance of English sqUadrons into our por'is is not interdicted, we must refuse to credit that the Maltese authorities would show themselves so impolite towards the Prince, and we must rather suppose that it had never been the intention of his Royal Highness to put into Malta with his squadron." - - The KING of the FEENca, accompanied by the Dukes of MONTPENSIER, SAXE COBURG GOTHA, and by the Minister of War, is daily engaged in in- specting the fortifications of Paris. On Saturday a funeral service was celebrated in the Church of the Petits Peres, for the repose of the souls of the two brothers BANDIERA, and their seven companions, put to death in the Calabrias on the 25th of July, 1844, by order of the King of NAPLES.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a good business done yesterday in the Liver pool Cotton Market. Sales, 6,000 to 7,000 bales, including 1,000 on speculation. Prices were without alteration. Shares were for the most part dull. There are no later arrivals to-day from any foreign quarter with news of the least interest. In the Produce markets this is likely to be a very dull• week, as, with the exception of the Indigo sale, there is no thing of importance doing by publie.sale in any description of foreign produce. The Colonial Wool auctions have been brought to a conclusion, and the result, with a fair sale as regards quantity, has been a decline of about a per cent. in the prices. The West India interest are determined, it seems, act to allow the new Sugar Bill' to progress without some further manifestation of their decided opposition. To-day a petition to the Lords, drawn up under the auspices of the Commit. tee" in the Old Jewry, lies for signature at the Jamaica Cot fee-house and other places of resort, but the subscribers, we opine, will be confined exclusively to the Vk est India interest and those intimately connected with th6n, to all of whom, we may add, we sincerely wish every poSsible success, though we cannot go the length of desiring that success, if it is to be gained only at the loss of the consumer. The Funds have been rather higher again to-day, and the market is buoyant. Consols have touched 95T H to 96 for money, and 96 1 ,a to 1 / 4 for account. The premium on Ex chequer-bills has been 10s. to 135., and on India Bonds 20s. to 225. Bank Stock has been firm at 209, and East India Stock rather flatter, at 260 2 .

We do not mean to say that the other gentlemen were influenced by improper motives in the evidence they gave, far from it; but we must say that their state ments do not carry with them the same conviction which is forced on the mind by that of Mr. WILSON. We cannot doubt but that, after this investigation, active steps will be taken to abate this nuisance, to do away with the atrocious and abominable system in Soto. Under any circumstances, it has been proved to be most injurious in its effects, ruining to all in tents and purposes the unfortunate victim. All au thorities concur in stating that there is no hope for the reformation and amendment of the man who has once been subjected to the lash ; his self-respect is gone for ever, and he finds at once his bane and anti dote in habits of intoxication. Nay, more, he becomes anxious to reduce others to the same level with himself. He becomes the tempter, the seducer of the young soldier. He laughs at the cat, and exhibits a hardened and reckless indifference to all the influences which he might be acted on, if 'not so thoroughly abased and degraded. The system cannot continue ; justice, humanity forbid it. But the public attention must still be directed to the subject,—the interest which has been excited must not be suffered to subside until again awakened by the death of another victim. We doubt not that the exertions of our brethren of the press will be devoted to the sub ject—our own shall not be wanting. Let these but be aided and assisted by some benevolent and zealous pbilsnthropists, and the stigma will be removed, the stain will be blotted out from our naval and military code. ' dig.

The standing corn remaining is not worth harvesting, and that which was cut was com pletely thrashed out by the hail, and the straw broken to pieces.

The Public Sales have offered 74 hhds Trinidad, 1,337 bags Bengal, 9,310 bags Madras, and 500 'Ada Cuba Muscovado. The Trinidad sold at 46s to 46s Gd for good brown to mid vellow, being again rather cheaper. Scarcely one-half of the Bengal or Madras was disposed of, the former at 50s 6d to 53s for fine yellow to middling white Benares, the latter at 39s to 43s for low to good brown, 44s 6d to 53s 6d, for low to very fine yellow, and a small por tion of white at 54s 6d to 575, which prices are about on a par with the reduction noticed on other sorts. All the Cuba, was taken in much above the value, viz., at 25s to 26s for mid greyish to fine yellow. The only transactions which have transpired privately, consists of about _2,000 boxes yellow Havanna'', which have.been sold at 23s to 265, for low to fine quality, and 600 chests Bahia at 265, being the previous value ; both parcels were for exportation. The quantity of British plantation landed last week at at the East and West India Docks was 2,629 hhds 217 tierces 502 barrels. There were taken for home consumption 1,143. 'aids 76 tierces 229 barrels. The stock in the same places is 10,521 hhds 1,151 tierces 2,310 barrels. COFFEE.— 141 bags Ceylon (British plantation kind), 281 bags La Guaira were offered by auction. Only part of the La Guaira sold at 41s 6d to 55s for fine, and to mid colony quality. being about rrevious rates. The St. Domingo brought only 284-to 28s 6d for low good ord mixed quality, which are comparatively very low prices. Rum.—The quantity landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 710 puns 36 hhds. There were taken for home consumption 101 puns 1 hhd, and exported 110 puns 7 lihds. The stock in the same places is 11,093 puns 2,308 hhds. RICE.-2,864 bags, 500 pockets Bengal, and 4,378 bags Madras, were offered by auction. All the Bengal was taken in (excepting the pockets, which sold at 14s to 14s Gd for good mid white,) at .15s to 15s Gd for good to fine white, being above the value. The. Madras found buyers at 13s to , 14s, being a further advance of 6d per cwt. upon the latter description. SALTPETILE.-160 bags Madras brought 25s for 8 per cent. refraction, which is, comparatively, about the value. 41s 6d per cwt on the spot, and Town 43s per cwt.

The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Charlemont, and the Bishop of Oxford. BOWEN V. EVANS. The further arguments in this part-heard• case occupied their Lordships the whole day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls sat is his Court in Chancery-lane to-day. BAINBRIDGE V. ZADDELEIC,--JI,DGMENT. The MASTER or THE Rotas gave judgment in this case to day, which was argued before his Lordship a short time since upon a demurrer put in by the defendant to the plaintiff's amended Bill. The Bill was filed for the purpose of obtain ing the direction of the Court for the trial of certain issues fir the purpose of ascertaii,kig whetherthe will of a tPstator named Bainbridge, which was made in 1818, was valid or not, it being contended that the will was of no effect, inas much as the testator was insane at the time of making it. To this Bill a demurrer was put in by the defendant, on the ground of want of equity. His Lordship ordered the de murrer to be allowed. LENDGREN V. LENDGENN.-JUDGMENT. , The MASTER . OF THE ROLLS gave judgment in this case, in which the question was whether certain legacies left by a testatrix of the name of Staudt:on were good or not, under the circumstances, and if they were good whether they were to be paid out of the testatrix's general estate. It appeared that the testatrix Mrs. Standon, being possessed of 1,0004 Three per Cent Consols, sold them out for the sum of 9031., which she handed to the plaintiff, upon the understanding. that he should pay her the same amount of interest (30/. a year) as she had received from the stock. This was regularly done up to the period of her death, shortly before which she made her will, leaving a legacy to the plaintiff of 5001., and others of smaller amount to other per sons, all of which she directed to be paid out of the Three per Cent, stock. The testatrix having no Three per Cent. stock at the time of her death, it was con tended that the legacy must fail. The MASTER OF THE ROLLS was of a different opinion, and directed the legacy to be paid out of the testatrix's general estate. • nyvEs v. TILE DUKE OF WELLDIGTON.-JUDGMENT. The MASTER. OF THE ROLLS also'gave judgment in this case; which was argued before him in his court at Westminster some time since. The case came before his Lordship upon a demurrer put in by the defendant, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as the surviving executor of his late Majesty George the Fourth, to the bill filed by the plaintiff, the re presentative of a natural daughter of the late Duke of Cum berland, brother of George the Third, claiming a legacy of 15,0001., left by the will of that monarch to Olive, the daughter of his brother, out of consideration foi her situation. George the Third died on the 29th of January, 1820, without having revoked his will, and George IV. possessed himself of his personal estate. George IV. died on the 26th of June, 1830, and by his will he appointed the Duke of Wellington and Sir William Knigh ton his executors. The legacy of 15,000/. not having been paid, and Sir til"illiant Knighton having died, the plaintiffs tiled their bill against the Duke of Wellington, as the surviv ing executor of George IV., for an account of the personal estate of that monarch, of which he had possessed himself, and also for the payment-of the legacy. To that bill the Duke put in a demurrer for want of equity, on the ground that the matters contained in the will of George 111., were not cognisable in the Court, inasmuch as the will had never been proved in the proper form. His Lordship was cf opinion that the demurrer was sustainable, and ordered it to be allowed.—Demurrer allowed. VICE-CHANCERY.-(FHIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND, after disposing of the short causes in his paper, and making orders for the re turn of the deposit in several railway cases, heard motions. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) TILE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MURDOCIL. Mr. ROLT, Q.C., continued his argument on behalf of the defendants, the trustees of one of those chapels built by vo luntary subscription in Scotland ',in connexion with the Established Church, before the disruption. His argument yesterday proceeded on the special circumstances of the case, by which he endeavoured to show that the residuary' church established by law had no claim over the cha pel by the dei ds. But to-day he assumed that there might be something in the deeds apparently supporting the claim, and argued that the trustees of this chapel did no thing mole than elect to fellow a model, and that for this model they took the Church of Scotland as it then existed. He contended that so far as this model of a Christian church was concerned the Church of Scotland and the Free Church did not differ, in support of which he referred to the Veto Act of the Church of Scotland, as expressive of her opinion in 1835, to the secessions which were made from her coat niunion in the same spirit in 1733 and 1732; and to several passages from the first and second books of Church Disci pline. He denied that they had connected themselves with the Church of Scotland or the Free Church. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FATE.) IN RE HOPEINS. This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a trader in Portman-street, Portman-square, came up to pass his last examination. A Solicitor said he attended as solicitor to the assignees. The Learned COMMISSIONER asked if he was the solicitor to the fiat, and was answered in the negative. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he never recognised any one as solicitor to the assignees, they were, if appointed, so. licitors of the Court working out the fiat. The Solicitor said he had been appointed after the choice of assignees. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he could examine the bankrupt. It appeared that the bankrupt had - started in business without capital, and there would not be a shilling to his cre ditors, as he had made a post nuptial settleinent on his wife in 1844. He had net kept any cash-book, and his accounts were very imperfect. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that these were properly subjects for discussion when the bankrupt applied for his certificate. The bankrupt was then allowed to pass. IPOTATO PEEL AS SEED FOR POTATOES.—EarIy in the first week in May last, Mr. I. F. Coules, of this city, directed his gardener to try an experiment in planting potatoes. He took three potatoes of rather large size, and peeled them—the substance of the peel not exceeding the thickness of a shilling—taking care in all cases to preserve the eyes perfect. The peel was divided into portions varying in size from the dimensions of a penny to a shilling. The gardener at first thought his master was joking; and did not anticipate that the potato peel would produce any fruit. It was planted in the ordinary way; the soil (the garden is situated at Kingsholm) is light and suited to potato culture; but the place selected was rather disadvantageous, being near a large and thick hedge. At the same time some sets of three other potatoes were planted in the usual manner in ground close adjoining. At the close of last week the latter were taken up, but owing to an accidental circumstance, the exact produce cannot be ascertained. On Monday evening Mr. Coules ordered the rows which hail been sown with potato peel to be dug up; when it was ascertained that the produce of the peel of the three potatoes, which were of the common Cockney sort, amoupted to sixty-two of good size and excellent quality, besides some smaller ones; the weight of the sixtv-two being rather more than 81bs. We have not seen, in fact, a better sample this season, and it is stated that the produce from the potatoes planted in the ordinary way was certainly not larger, if so large. The experiment, although not perfectly novel, is interesting. The eatable portion Of the root may apparently be preserved for food at seed time—an important circumstance, to Ireland especially, where, in many districts, there is annually a " potato scar city." From what we have heard since we learned the result of Mr. Coules's experiment, we entertain doubts whether the plan would Succeed with seme species of potatoes—be invariably successful; and probably the nature of the soil is a material ingredient in the matter. We hope, however, that this notice may lead to a series of experiments. Mr. Coules exhibited a portion of the produce of his peel seed at our horticultural meeting last Thursday. It excited consi derable interest, and an extra prize was awarded.— Gloucester shire Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF STOCKPORT.--As an early general election becomes more and more probable, so are the burgesses of this borough more speculative in the candidates who aro likely to offer themselves whenever a dissolution of Parliament shall be declared. The recent letter from Mr. Cobden to his constituents is understood by many to be a virtual resignation of his seat. If so, we hear there is a de termination on the part of a large body of the electors to put forward Mr. Orrell as a candidate, should any one venture to •ffer himself as the successor of Mr. Cobden in, the representa.. tion of Stockport.—Stockport Advertiser. Another letter from Rome announces the death of Cardinal Bernetti. Two folio — columns of particulars of the Royal Christening were given in Sunday's Observer. INGENUITY.—Mr. J.

(THIS ,DAY_) HOUSE OF LORD 3. Room D. This Committee met this =filing at eleven o'clock, the Earl of St. Germans in the chair, when the case again=t the GMAXGOVT, ZurarztiEs, /1.113) C.8.7a/a3.7.,M, and on behalf of the ciAtzpoNIAN (uumrlums AND MANG HO L IV/ DIZILNCRES), rejected by tkeContlit ongi was resumed. Mr. Cocxeuax was rising to address the Committee, when Mr. AklltEWs, interfered, and s iiAld that, after the evidence which had been offered Anerday on behalf Of the Caledonian branches, he was about to offer some reo;.::!..iug evidence. After afew observations on the p'Cnt, this course Was assented to. Mr. Miner, civil engineer, was called afid examined. He said the object of the NitbSdals scheme was to connak in the completest manner with the north and south. The Caledoniali bad no proposi- Ilan :fist year for the accommodation of Aninui tifiA Dumfries, whereat the Nithsdale scheme of last /ear was substantally the same as the sciiate of this year. Besides, the Caledonian branches afforded no accommodation whatever for Ayrshire to the south. Hd considered the break of Annan Would interfere with the working of the traffic in an efficient manner. The Dmlmagadder branch would not accommodate the Nithsdale traffic, and With regard to the Dum fries and Edinburgh traffic, it could be arranged that the earlier trains of the Nithsdale line would run to meet the later trains on the Caledonian. _ _ Mr. Coextiente then rose to address the Committee. In the course of his °beefed:ions he said he would not trespass on any of the decisions which their I.,ordships had come to, but he would submit whether. it would not be cdilMetent with those decisions, and In order to do justice to the Caledonian, that they should at least postpone that portion of the scheme of the gitiAltile Company which was in competition With the branches proposed by the Caledonian, or at least such part of it at Would protect the through traffic of the Cale donian Company. Ile would ndl an the present occasion struggle a g ainst the granting to the Nithsdale compdify ^portion of their line beta eun DumfrieS and Cumnock, but he would, at the least, take his stand on the letter of Mr. Hops Johnstone, and pray that e portion of the scheme between Carlisle and Dumfries should he gralli.esi to the Ca ledonian. No doubt they had tieen told that the Nithsdale Would not compete with the Caledonian Company, but any one at all conver sant with the country must know, that to the through traffic would their attention be sure ultimately to be directed. It had been clearly 'shown by the evidence, offered in the earlier stage of the Case, that the course of trade from Kilmarnock was in the direction of Glasgow, and therefore there could be no doubt that the through trade would be aimed at, an order to make up for the deficiency of local traffic, is hich he was certain would be sure to arise. With regard to all the traffic passing from Aynhire or the south, it would be perfectly indifferent whether the two companies met at Annan or at Gretna, While by making the break at Annan, the Caledonian Company would have that protection which their through traffic imperatively required. Again, with regard to the mineral traffic upon width so much had been said, it would be a matter of perfect indifference who:her these minerals came from Canobie along the Kithsdaie line all the way from Gretna to Dum fries, or whether it came as tar as iknuan, or ou the Caledonian scheme, and then passed from Annan to Dumfries on the Nithsdale. With re , ., ard to the shi!ep and cattle coming from Galloway, the most of which, as had been shown, would get on the tiithsdale hoe at Dumftlea, It would be a matter of no moment whether the break between the companies existed at Amman instead of Gretna. It would be as math the interest of the Caledonian Company as of the Nithsdale Company, to afford .very accommodation to sushi a traffic. There trust be a break somewhere, and he submitted with conthiceee, that with rigaril to the whole traffic passing along the line, it was a matter of perfect indifference where it took place. So much as to the question of convenience. lie now came to the main Argu ment adduced on the other side against giving the Caledonian any portion of the line. It was stet d that the portion of the scheme south of Dumfries was the best paying portion of the line, and that it was required to make the portion between Dumfries and Cumnock remunerative. This sounded strange from parties who had at tempted to show such a strong case of local traffic. If the local traffic on the Cumnock portion, adduced before the Committee, was sufficient to warrant the construction of that portion of the line, then there was no plea left why they should have tile portion south of Dumfries; but if it was otherwise, if the Cumnock Fortson could not pay without that from Dumfries to the south, that was some reason, he admitted, why they should have the portion between Dumfries and Amman. But with regard to the remaining portion between Annan and Gretna, that was absolutely necessary for the protection of the Caledonian interest, in fact, to save that Company from ruinous competition. If the Nithsdale was so goad a scheme, if it was a bona fide undertaking, then surely it could not be essen tially injurious ,o a line of 92 miles, to take seven or eight miles ftom it. Besides, a great deal of the claim of the Nithsdale scheme to the portion from Annan to Gretna was based on the assumption that Annan would be a port of considerable trade, whereas, he submitted, that as soon as the Caledonian was opened a great deal of that traffic which had been alleged to be shipped at Annan would pass south along that line. Regarding the Canobie branch, he sula_nitted that the Caledonian (Latighohn branch) was better than that as a means of accommodating the district. Room E EXETER, TICOVXL, AND DORCHESTER. The ommittee met at the usual hour, Lord Beaumont, 'chairman, Mr. T. A. Mitchell examined by Mr. SLADE—Deposed that he was personally acquainted with the trade of Bridport, and had been so for mans years. It was the largest town between Plymouth and Southampton; Its staple production was cordage and sailcloth. It was most important for its interests that it should be connected by a coast line with Southampton and Plymouth. The population was about 8,000. Cross-examined by Mr. HILDTARD —He did not Teside at Bridport, and did not know whether the harbour was formed of two wooden piers of 80 feet in length. Mr. Acland, examined by Mr. TALliot —ls a magistrate of the counties of Devon and Dorset, and resided aft Dorchester, formerly lived at Honiton, and was well-acquainted with that portion of the country. A marked contempt Wets shown of the towns of Bridport and Lyme, and the other towns upon the coast by the. scheme at present before the Committee. lie thought that the line proposed by the Great Western was deserving of support, in consequence of the communication which it afierded to the country north of Exeter. Coals and other fuel would be brought by means of the Great Western scheme from Radstock and other extensive coal fields to the southern districts of Dersetshire, and also to the manufacturers of Bridporf, • much better than by the narrow gauge lines proposed by tlie‘Exeter,. Yeovil, and Dorchester Company. Cross-examined by Mr. HILDTAID —lie thought it was desirable to have railway communication between Exeter and Yeovil. By Lord DENBIGH—There was at present a line constructed or In the course of construction between Yeovil and ltadstock. _ _ _ Captain Mite examined by Mr. TatatoT—Had commanded the mail packets from the port of Weymouth for 28 years, since the railway had been made at Southampton, the port of Falmouth had considerably fallen off. If a railway were made direct to Exeter, the packets would return to Weymouth. Cross-examined by Mr. HILDYARD—There were no packets run ning now from Weymouth to the Channel Islands, they had been discontinued by the Government because they could get the nails carried much cheaper from Southampton. Mr. Bine, glove manufacturer at Yeovil, gave evidence of the amount of goods he manufactured. and the opinion he entertained of the line proposed by the Grtat Western Company between Exeter and Yeovil. THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FLOGGING TO THZ EDITOR OF THE TIMES. bir,-1t may seem very hard if I say that the effect of flogging is not fully appreciated even in my own, the medical profession. But 1 have studied the subject, and I beg to send you a few medical hints upon it. Every lash, like every other kind of laceration or cutting, affects the power of the heart. A patient sometimes never rallies from the effect of a severe accident (such was the case with Mr. Huskisson ) or a severe surgical *operation. But this is not all. The skin, which some persons seem to think may be treated like an inorganic substance, has a spe cial relation with the internal organs:- 1. A current of air falling partially on the surface is suffi cient by its action on the skin, and the sympathy of this, through the ganglionic system, with the internal organs, to induce inflammation of the lungs or of the heart, or of the membranes which cover these organs. 2. The same event occurs from burns or scalds. 3. The same event occurs fro n flogging. It is not the extent of the infliction merely which is to be considered ; much depends on the peculiarity of the consti tution. The healthy are less affected than the unhealthy, the sober than the drunken. But any person may, as the effect of any of the inflictions to which I have adverted, become diseased—diseased for life, or diseased unto death ; and no man--no medical person —can tell, a priori, who is to suffer or who is to escape. . Floggi❑g is not to be treated of, then, as a thing skin-deep. Many a soldier whom it was only intended to flog has been slain, unknown even to the inflicter of the punishment; for, as I have said, the medical bearings of the subject have not been duly investigated. It is somewhat singular that those persons who seem to bear a surgical operation best are precisely those whom it affects the most, and the most dangerously. There are, besides, what we call idiosyncrasies, or pecu • liarities, which, besides the fact 01 ill health, or bad habits, render an infliction, which might generally be borne with out risk, most dangerous In the tendency to disease of the brain, in disease of the heart, flogging would be dangerous; and this punishment has actually induced epilepsy and tetanus (or locked jaw). I may refer to the writings of the late Mr. Rose* and Sir C. Bell,t of Mr. Tr4vers,t &c., for examples of internal dis ease, especially inflammation of the lungs, induced by severe accidents or operations ; but if this be true in regard to the tissues in general, it is specially so in respect to the skin. The great fact is, that as exposure to a current of air, so a burn, and so a flogging, may induce disease—lingering disease, and death. I am, Sir (in haste), your obedient servant, London, July 27.

Sm.—Having observed a late article in your paper, pro posing that a Society should be formed whose object should be the abolition of corporal:punishment in the army, I would suggest that they should also exert themselves to ob tain for the soldier a greater degree of comfort in barracks, a better mess than the miserable allowance of three quarteis of a pound of meat (including bone) per day, which, when cooked, seldom appears more than one third of the quantity which any perion whose means allow him would eat generally at one meal, and, above all, an adequate pension on discharge, atter having devoted his life to the service of his country in unwholesome climates. These, Sir, would induce a better class of men to enter the army, and by raising the social condition of the soldier, avoid the necessity of having re course to the lash. As things now exist, men are crowded in their barrack rooms—not even a skreen for the married soldiers is allowed ; the rooms in winter are only lighted sufficiently to make darkness visible, and the only accommodation for washing is the spout of the pump. The late fearful accident at Loodianah sufficiently proves how much better the ends of economy (putting common humanity out of the question) might be answered by a trifling outlay in the first instance. With regard to the flogging at Hounslow, I beg to state that the mode of inflicting the punishment which has been so much animadverted upon, and for which, among other things, Colonel Whyte has been so severely blamed, is usual in every regiment in the service. I have the honour to be Sir, your most obedient servant, July 26. AN OFFICER. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 26.—The defects of the boilers and tubes of the Scourge mortar steamer are to be made good at Woolwich, and she has gone thither fir t h at purpose. It is expected the mortar which she now car ries will be removed, and that she will be armed with gun,4, as originally intended, and then rejoin Vice- Admiral Sir W. Parker. The Eurydice has had her compasses adjusted, and is to go out of harbour on Tuesday. The Contest brig was swung yesterday, and will be ready to go to Spithead on Thursday. Commander A. L. Montgomery, of the Grecian, has been promoted to the rank or captain, and Commander Louis S. Tindal, BM of the late Chief Justice Sir N. Tindal, is appointed to her. Second Captain Henry James, R.E , is appointed director of works in this dock yard, in place of Captain Denison, R.E , governor of Van Diemen's Land. This officer is to occupy the quarters of his predecessor, and the superior apprentices school is to be removed elsee here. The Constance, 50, Captain S r B. Walker, is the only ship at Spithead, arid is kept there until the Eurydice and Spartan are ready to have their trial cruise. The Recruit, Hound, and Bullog, fitting at the Eastern dockyards, are to call at Spithead for their final orders.

OPEN BOATS. f ia t ° The superiority of decked welled vessels ove r ter open boats for conducting the fisbings in deeP 'F e % will readily be seen from the following six reas°ll - from Mr. Dempster's circulars:— tu kert 1. By employing vessels with wells fisii a re alive into port, and, consequently, they are dead,. fresher than if they had been a considerabl e titewotein which is too frequently the case by the open boa: of fishing.. 2. Decked vessels are much safer at sea in hew.,:,; weather than open boats are (when they do ha Pc ll# caught in a storm), and in all weathers at 10'"hicii be men are rendered much more comfortable, as theiL L T a berth place below deck, occasionally t o rest selves. l e e k S. With decked vessels fighermen remain days, ;t,ei and sometimes months, continually at sea pursuing calling, catching and curing the fish as the y are eaPt' d s t By this system more of the men's time i s einploYeiery: sea than is in open boats that retura to the shore e one or two days. the' 4. As decked vessels are much more at sea tbs-liich open boat, the fisherman yields a better harvest, enables him to maintain his wife and family 001;00 the same way as any other coasting merchant a ge sers ma intains his wife and family. The open beat of a being less engaged at sea (so as to ma ke both au' B S' livelihood meet), they are obliged to call in' th„eceea; sistance of their wives and families to work of * 3 ' 4 getlo big drudgery, such as hawking fish about the sty gathering bait amongst the rocks, &c. 0 4 5. On board of decked vessels the. trawl n et is .6,11 much more conveniently than in open boats. trawlers cast their nets in 45 fathoms and urge r , s ari at times catch large quantities of soles and-other eenot dLions of ground fish. For example, there is a !,„ t til e „ ground in the Great Silver Pits, situate d betsrl', west end of the Dogger Bank and Well Bank, tbti4l, miles east of Flamborough Head ; it has l ate h ' ; ', tl) . ; discovered. that great quantities of. soles inhar; lb " quarter, as -a great number have been caug ht stn abed discovery was made ; the depth of water there,. froei the trawlers use their nets to so much advantag e ' l 26 to 50 fathoms. e 3O There can be little doubt but on and Around t he fl i° o le; o yeo of the Mar Bank, there are also plenty of .5 exploration is • well worth an attempt. • Il sifr a hl 1 ' 1 ,1 1) : proper trawlers oh and about the Mar Bank f ir t o jeti' v soon fathom whether or not there are much ,)e4 ' ,114 treasures there. 6.
