We ask that our market shall be thrown open to the sugar of the world, and in so doing' we are not actuated by any feelings of animosity towards the sugar planters and colonial proprietors.

We are. not actuated by any of those. feelings of hostility of which we have been accused. And now. 1 think, that low , ' as we have been called the enemies of the British farmer, I may say we are the farmer's friend when we advocate the cause of freedom of the sugar trade, winch will give him a better market for his agricultural pro duce in the manufacturing districts, wtich will increase the revenue of the country without adding to the taxes which you ; a11 have to bear, and which will cheapen .for the great body of the consumers of this country that most necessary -article of consumption and of comfort—namely, the article of sugar —(Cheers.) lam well aware that many gentle men who contend against the alteration of the sugar duties do so from a feeling• that by letting in slawi t grown sugar we shall encourage the slave trade.

Ttieir Lordships were aware that the network of railways which was now spreading itself through the eastern counties or England, ccalcentraied 'at Cambridge. They were also aware that the .lines connected With. the London' and BirminghaM line con centrated at Weedtin. Now, the object ot,thia line was to connect these places with tine anther by the ; most direct fine possible under the cirvumAances. The length: of the line was thiriy-eiat. miles. Commencing at Cambridge, it trossed the London and York at St. Newts, and joined a branch of the London. and Birmingham at White-mills, at somew4 lelighan teo mi,es tout e,don, whiCh h place Vqtt.branch atf.rded a direct communication. It had originally been proposed to Carry the line up to We don: but this, being otjetiokiAo by the L ,nd. , n and Birmingham Com pany, it had'bip'giv.n lir., and he making of the line from ite Mills.--fulVewvirailriii-left , to them. The line would afford an ahnos - , direct communkation between Oxford and Cambridge, which bad .been prtiPosed by a line that came be tore a Committee. of .their L.rdships' lieu-e a short time ago, but which could not be effected by that Bill, it lousing been reduced by ameudment to n in ~ r e local line from Hitchin to Royston. Toe present Bill was only oppoed by one petition, that of seventy-two owners and occupiers of land, for whom his Learned Friend Mr. Austin appeared. That opposition was, in reality, on the part of the Eastern Counties Railway, as, he thought, their Lordships w:miltl very soon. perceive. Many of the petitioners had been set led with, and many (lie believed thirty) signed a petition, in which they begged leave V> withdraw their opposition, saving that they were not aware cf the contents 4 the petition when they signed it, and indeed they thought at the time that it was a petition in favour of the line. • That petition had not yet been presented, but would be in_a_ day or two. . Mr. Sergeant WRA:NOIIAM then proceeded to call witnesses on the part of the,ProUfoters. Mr. Blyth; engineer to the line under Mr. Miller, gave the usual engineering .evidence—the works were all of a light character, and there were no considerable engineering diffi culties,. Several othei witnesses were called and examined, but the ca-e 'was suddenly' checked . by theabsence of witnesses, and the Committee rose before three o'clock, and adjourned till to-morrow. . Room B. The Committee met this ►norning at eleven, the Earl of Lonvdale in the chair, Lord Hawarden, the Earl of Warwick, the Earlof Ellenborough, and the Duke of Grafton present. IMICESTER AND BEDFORD. Counsel proceeded to Grill further evidence in favour of the Bill, and most of the witnesses examined on the subject of traffic spoke of the transit of grazing stock from about Market Harborough to Smithfield market, and complained of the want of accommodation on the London and Birming ham line. Mr. HILDYARD took an objection to The line which had been raised before two Committees. of the Commons, ono which sat- on the Rugby and Huntingdon Bill, and one on the Leicester and Bedford, the Bill before their Lordships. It was founded on an agreement come to between the Rugby and Huntingdon and the Leicester and Bedford Companies, to the effect that one or.. other of these companies would conAruct. a deviation from the defeated plan on that part of 'the line- common to 'both companies, between the Thorpe-road and the Wellingborough-road, if the con sent of . tfte landowners can be got, and powers from Parlia ment toatiake it, and ineanwhilesuspeuding their compul sory powers for the conitruction of that part of..the line. Mr. Hildyard argued that the consent of certain parties on that 'portion of toe line was of no avail, that only Parliament could sanction the alienation of glebe, land or the passing of a public road; but as their Lordships could not be certain that thene*t Parliament would give this sanction, and the conse quence mould be a line with a chasm iu the middle of it to the length of about two miles, he was sure that their Lord ships would not pass such a line. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIN3I, • in reply, said that the agree ment was misrepre , ented, tor though the deviation could not be constructed for want of the sanction which would be necessary, those compulsory powers to construct the depo sited line were merely suspended, and remained to provide against any chasm. Nlr. HIIDYARD replied, and the room was ordered to Ls cleared. t tinoiciinatlee savi tiurunt - isr-V.Teoe , :jboknri,,f3ro;"/14"thai protecding with the Bills. Traffic evidence in favour of the'line was continued. Ttie Committee adjourned till eleven to-morrow. Roam C. The Committee re-assembled this morning, Earl Rat;nor in the chair, when Mr. Fowler, the engineer of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line:was cro=s-t-xamined by Mr. MEREIVETHEM., and I stated that the • ruling -gradient in the line would be 1 in 84. On leaving Sheffield, it would have to be worked as4s!ant power, and as this would be very expesive, rather than incur such a cost it would be..ly-tter to establish a tramway from the mineral dis tricts, which would answer every purpose. Such a design had been proposed, but it had been dropped in consequence of a breach of tngigement. Mr. Gee, civil engineer, gave evidence against the Bill to the same cffect. Mr. Locke, the engineer, stated that he had been the con sulting engireer,.and when he surveyed the country had come to•the decision that a line towards London would be best carried out by W, oilhou.se Mill, and that opinion was cone firmed by the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line being sane mined by Perhatfient. There was no opportunity for the Sh4,ffield and Manchester line to come down by the Chesterfield line. The Bradford ' traffic would come by the Sheffield and Manchester line, and the junction would be best effected at Woodhouse Mill. This line was certainly laid out inconveniently for the coal-fields, running as they do through two deep cuttings. The esti mateshf the opposing lines are certainly much higher than Mr. Fowler's route, for which the amount stated is 867,0001.; another was 883,0001., and a third 887,000/. To Mr. TALBOT'S cross-examination, Mr. Locke replied thlt he. had executed works through rocks at a lower rate than 40/. a yard, but of course the expense depended upon the nature of the rock to be passed through. Certainly the country was a difficult one. . _ _ _ _ . Mr. HOPE cross-examined; but previous to his addressing the Committee the room was clvared,and on the re-admission► of the parties, the Chairman inquired of Mr. Talbot, the leading counsel for the promoters, whether be could inva lidate the evidence of Mr. Fowler, who had stated that 64,0001. per mile would be requisite for the formation of the lines. To this Mr. Tal'oot replied that he could not sperl certainly. _ By direction of the CIIAIRMAN Mr. Hurt: then addressed the Committee, contending that both from the expense of the sustaining walls and the alter• nate expeese of the spoil and waste, it would be altogethe beyohd the power of any traffic to remunerate. the proprie , tors. Mr. Vigkoles had stated that he was the. father of the steep gradients, elutes the whole of the flat country had been exhausted, that difficult country must now be attempted. It had been originally intended that the Manchester and Sheffield line should pass through this country, but both Mr. Locke, engineer for that line, and Mr. Gee, who was also intimate with the country. thought the proper access of thAfield to the south was by W ,, orth .use. The line as ori ginally planned had been divested of tiye of its branches, and was absolutely now a distortion, and quite incompetent ti siti-fy that wart which was now felt for communica tion v. ith the south. Mr. Vignoles had proposed five objects, the shortening of the distance of Sheffield nom London by eight miles; the cheapening of the price of coals, at St. Meld ; the .:petling or the Drontichl and &tat-teas; a better communication with the south. and the increase, ~t the access to whir coal-fields. After going through all those points, - Fuld making reference to the evi dence which had been adduced, Mr. Hope went to the intrin sic merits of the line itselt, which he contended were insuffi • ient to justify i s formation, csieciallyon the ground that the polulatian was tee email to create a traffic upon any line to the neighbourhood. The local traffic thus failing, the tiexi consideration was the through traffic, and this, he contended, was also such as not to juetity the expenditure of so much capital. With respect to the saving of eight miles, which it was alleged would be saved by the Sheffield and Lincolnshire 16tht the distance difference owould f i Be n line, which was now sa nctioned by both H. , uses of Parliament, the greater distance w ould he only 31 miles, w h i l e it th e li nt ' %sere to be used as no w p ro j ected, the trains from the north would have to back full thereby be actually m reduced to 11 lies. fiCI P I 3 a . nd Counties, w i t h t h e super i or advan ,',f a mile, Then with respect to the transit to Lon don, there w as a distance by the Lon don with h a tnaligee a s t n a,f ei g aa Y i n oj nt kittChe united nli management; a n d if the Erewash V a ll e y were tole used, there would be a saving of a mile and a half. Mr. TALBOT replied, resting chiefl y in the outset upon the opening made by the station at Brighton. The Sheffield People were notoriously a persevering people; but it was a tact which was patent to all the world, that just as the London and York Railwa y had progressed to Parliamentary success—a line which involved three hundred miles of rail way—so had the worth of its capital decreased. He would treat with the contempt which it merited the hardy of thirteen miles long was con- , assertion of Mr. Fowler, that the whole of that line would He would assert that on the line of the London and York there was not a single town of the slightest com mercial (h e r eue madeti"ud"transit o before f mercial importance, while on the other line there was access to Sheffield, Nottingham, and Derby, and the several other places connected with the great manufacturing interests of the country. through the evidence upon t e llt' o is!' a t l leirt i t i linn t eg he neighbouring coal-fields to Sheffield, the Learned Counsel stated that the projectors had reduced their capital by 50 per cent., in order to meet ..the necessities of the times and the emergencies that might arise to the business people of Sheffield, and the considera tion for the Committee was not the amount of capital to be employed, but whether it would be judiciously ex pended for the public benefit. With respect to the estimates, it was well known that half-a-dozen valuers might be brought on. one aide or the other, and all spealting to different portions of the subject, might speak the truth, and yet flatly contradict each other. but he had opened this case as one necessarily involving heavy works. The pro moters were quite willing to take upon themselves the ex pense, so that no objection could stand on that account. The North Midland Company, into whose hands this line . must eventually fall, were quite, ready to take _it up, and after the rejection of the line last year a meeting had The people of Sheffield were equall?r beeu held, at which the repetition of the ant was strongly anxious fin its success; VAIVIDIMIatd• IQ; kilutero he wetted that the Fro' _ IPSWICH AND HUEY ST.

ELECTION MOVEMENTS. MANCHESTER—THE NOMINATION. MONDAY, Fouts o'Ceocis.—The nomination of a candidate fur thiS borough took plate at 'ten -o'clock this Morning, on the hustings erected for the occasion •in St. Ann's-square. There was a large number of persons presents _ The Blayor, accompanied. by the Right. Hon. Candidate, Mr. Mark Philips, M.P., Mr. Alderman Callender, the Town clerk, Mr. A. Prentice, Mr. E. Worthington, Mr. Alderman Burd, Messrs. James Kershaw, 'John Potter, W. Curtis, Alderman Neild, J. Willett, John Burd, Abel Heywood, James Bake, Thomas Hopkins, Daniel Maude, &c . . The usual preliminaries having been gone through, Mr. Alderman CHART.ES J. S. WALKER came forward to propose Mr. Gibson, He said he had great pleasure in so doing. He had known Mr. Gibson as the representative of Manchester for- five years, and fully approved of his whole conduct during that time. He had watched his votes and read his speeches, and he believed he was but doing him justice when he stated that he had ever found him supporting these liberal measures that were for the benefit of theveople Right !lon. baronet was carrying tnrougn tne nouse oi Commons measures .of free trade, of which the people bad only received an i istalment. The fact of his having ac cepted the office of Vice-President of the Board of Trade would enable him to render his constituents better services than if he were a mere Member of Parliament. He con cluded by proposing the Right Hon. T._M. Gibson as repre sentative of Manchester. Mr. Alderman JAMES KERSITAW seconded the nomination. He said he did not entirely agree with every vote which had been given by the Right Hon. Gentleman since he repre sented Manchester; but, taking him as a whole, he was sa tisfied with his conduct as the representative of the borough, Mr. Gibson had, as they all knew, been the constant sup porter of free trade, aed on matters of general policy he was ever to be found on the side of the people. He concluded by seconding the nomination. The MAYOR then took a show of hands, and there'being no other candidate, declared Mr. Gibson duly elected. The Right lion. T. M. Ginsox then came forward, and was received with loud cheers by his friends. He said, upon an ordinary occasion, when marks of approbation are passed upon an individual by his fellow -countrymen, in accordance with the courtesies of society, that individual makes use of lan guage stronger than might be adequate or necessary to ex press the gratitude he feels; •but upon an occasion like this, I do not think I can: be Charged with insincerity, or with using expressions too highly coloured, in giving to you, in the strongest language I can command, my hearty, my cor dial thanks for the great and distinguished honour you have conferred upon me in electing me to represent you in Perna tnent.—(Hear, hear.) There can be, I imagine, no position more gratifying to a man's feelings, no situation in life more calculated to raise his sentiments of self-respect, than when he finds himself chosen to represent so large and so intelli gent a body of his fellow-countrymen as are comprised within the great community of Manchester. I feel deeply sensible, electors of Manchester, of the honour you have done me, and the more so in returning me to Parliament under the present circumstances, because by so doing you express your approval of the course I have taken in accepting the office under the Crown I had offered to me. It was a distinguished honour, unquestionably, on the part of those who advised her Majesty to select me for so distinguished a position as the , Vice-Presidency of the Board of Trade ; but it is a higher and more distinguished honour, I say, as a candidate for the -popular voice this day. to find that their advice and the Queen's adoption of it are ratified by your verdict. The electors of Manchester are not left out of this affair. It would want a great deal that constitutes not an unimportant con stitutional proceeding if your voice and your consent had been passed over in such an appointment as the one I have received. had I not represented Manchester, undoubtedly it would not have fill len . to my. lot . to_ recive .so di4inguisued an office. If I am not competent to fulfil the duties of the office, Manchester is responsible for having returned an in efficient representative; for it was in order that your views end your feelings, and the opinions entertained in these h,tricts, might be represented in the Government of the country, that I was selected to fill the office of Vice-Presi aent of the Huard st Trade.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, the recent proceedings in Parliament can hardly be passed by without one or two observations on my part. It would ap pear that we who acted against the Coercion Bill have acted ungenerously towards Sir Robert Peel, after he had proved himself so great a benefactor, in having been instrumental in removing- him from office ; but it we look at the cir ‘'unistances of the case we shall find that his retirement from office was unavoidable. In bringing forward the corn question he lost the confidence aed support of a great portion—of a large proportion of his old followers—so large a proportion as to render him unable to carry on the govern ment of the country, or to feel any confidence that those mea sures that might be deemed advisable could be passed into prac tical legislation. He acted therefore the part of a friend to hi country, when he found that he conld not give effect with any certainty to the measures be might deem necessary, to resign the powers that he held ; and in giving the vote we gave against the Irish Coercion Bill, we recorded our opinion against that measure on its own merits, and we did not by that vote mean to pass any censure upon her Majesty's Government. On the contrary, at the same time that vote was passed, Mr. Cobden expressed our opinion, when he said that we opposed the Coercion Bill because we thought it a measure of 'great severity—a measure of an arbitrary and tyrannical character towards the people of Ireland, and one which the necessities of that country did not require.— (Cheers.) We gave our vote conscientiously against the measure, and not with the view of expressing any displeasure at the policy which the Right Hon. Baronet, late at the head of her Majesty's Government, bad purs ued. The state of the House of Comtnons was now very extraordinary. In point of fact, things are come to this: there are now three parties in the House. There is the party who generally support Sir Robert Peel—the Conservative party. There is the Liberal party, and there is what is called the Protectionist party.— (Cheers, an d cries of "Hear him out Now Sir Robert Peel has retired from office, and, therefore, the Government mu st be either placed in the hands of the Liberal party, or of my Lord George Bentinck and the Duke of Richmond, the leaders of the Protectionist party. I appeal to you, the electors of Manchester, whether y ou would tole rate a Government, the policy of which would be that avowed by Lord George Bentinck in the House of Commons, and the Duke of Richmond in the House of Lords?—(No, no, and Hear, hear.) Are you prepared to tolerate a Government which would carry out the policy of monopoly and, of pro ' tection as avowed by those noblemen?—(No, no). Are you then prepared to support the Government whose policy will be to secure to industry its full reward—(Cries of "The Ten Hours' Bill") —to gire freedom to commerce, and to secure the possession of civil and religious rights to all classes of her Majesty's subjects.—(Partial cheers.) Those are the prin ciples upon which the present Government propose to act, l i and it is only upon the conscientious feelings which I enter tain that the Government will act upon those principles that I felt justified in accepting office under them. I believe they will carry out the principles - of commercial freedom. There is a measure shortly to be brought forward—the measure of the sugar duties—which will put their sincerity to the test. We ask for free trade in sugar, just as we have carried the - question of the eorn-laws. say, as the agr,eulturist with his corn is exposed to tills competition of -the world, -there fore the grower of sugar ought also to - face the world in fair competition. At the present time you exclude by your gnu duties one-4aif of all tlgo outu iodised ° a/ W°44 slave trade is not to be put down by hostile tariffs—that slavery is supported because public opinion in the Brazils and in Cuba has not advanced so far as our opinions have advanced on that subject; but that, acting towards those . . countries in a friendly spirit, and extending our commer cial intercourse with those nations, we shall have a far bet- ter chance of infusing our feelings into , the population of those countries than if we give rise to their resentment, and (awe the feeling of hostility, which will make them adhere to slavery under a sort of feeling that the 'honour of the nation is bound up in it, and that they will not abandon it or be dictated .to by another country. Let us, then, act in a friendly manner towards them—let us encou rage friendly intercourse. Oppose slavery, and the slave trade will steadily advance over the world. We held opinions in this country very Lady in favour of slavery and the slave trade. That feeling has happily been abolished for ever in England, and I have no doubt that the freedom of man which gave rise to that opinion will be gradually extended, and that as that opinion spreads throughout the world, na tions will tint it to their own interest to abolish that most odious system--that system of keeping fellow-creatures in a state of slavery. Ido not give the credit entirely of perfect sincerity to all those who have professed an unwillingness to eat sugar because it is produced by slaves. They may be sincere ; but somehow it is difficult to believe in their sin cerity when we see a man very placidly smoking a Havannah cigar, or carrying in his pocket gold and silver, all of which are the produce of slaves, and yet professing to be so extremely qualmish about putting a lump of slave-grown sugar into his tea. That is a species of philosophy which I do not yet understand.—(Laughter.) I should be sorry to impute motives to any one ; but when I find that feelino. Is expressed in Jamaica itself—Jamaica long aban doned' to the slave system, and persisting to the last in slavery—when they are professing to have qualms of con science in eating a bit of slave-grown sugar, I must say Ido not give them credit for perfect sincerity. I was reading lately, in en account of the proceedings of the House of Assembly in Jamaica, of a proposition to put a higher duty upon slave-grown sugar, on coming into that port, and one of the old members of that assembly, long accustomed to the slavery system, and knowing the real opinion of his fellow-senators, when he heard them expressing such qualms of conscience at eating slave-grown sugar, said, Well, I never expected to see the day when Jamaica men would turn up their nose at a lump of Cuba sugar."—(Laughter.) There are other questions of vast im portance which the present Government, I believe, are pre pared to grapple with. There is the question of education of the people.—(Cheers.) I know not what plans may be in agitation, but I sincerely hope, that whatever plan may be adopted of advancing the cause of education amongst the people, and for securing the moral training of the young, that it will be consistent with the true principles of religious liberty.—(Applause.) I believe that it is only on those principles that any system of education can be successful, and I am quite certain, that if we are to give, in any form or shape, the public money, for the purposes of education, we are bound to give such a system as all can partici pate in.—(Cheering.) We are bound to give a system of education that will not be placed under the exclusive control of any religious society.—(Hear, hear.) • Whilst we say we respect the religious feelings of all sects— whilst we do nothing to shock their sentiments of faith— yet, at the same time, the civil Government of the country must take care .in dispensing the money that is collected from the pockets of all classes of the people, that that money is expended fiiirly and impartially upon principles of justice, and that no one sect shall be deemed the favoured sect which is to have an exclusive privilege.—(Loud cheers.) All governments have been favourers of the power of educa tion being placed in their hands. I know that that is a tenet held by many gentlemen in the English Church; but I am happy to say that different opinions are beginning to pervade our Church. I believe there is a more liberal feeling on this subject spreading itself amongst the members of the Church of England. Unquestionably any system of educa tion that violates the principles of religious liberty must in variably fail, as it ought to fail. The Church of England has endeavoured to draw a distinction between itself and the Church of Rome, as not arrogating to itself that infallibility which has lung been stated as appertaining to the Church of Rome. For my part, I have generally observed that there is a tendency amaiigst all men, whether as individuals or coin- L:__-1 .I..mtsrau then rhlol.. right. Mr. S teel, an erni net Frit eonstant writer, a P6'& r reM e Atip f , in one of his works, that there is only one difference in respect of this matter, that he has observed between the Church of Rome and the Church of England ; for the Church of Rome appeared to be infallible, and the Church of England never in the wrong.—(Laughter.) Now the fact is there are good men and liberal men in all churches, and .to be found in all religious sects; and there are also in all churches, and in all religious sects, men who stand upon the opinion of their own infallibility, and who are more determined to maintain that ground than many of their coadjutors. But it would be a safe rule, if it could be carried out by the civil Govern ment of this country, that it should not endeavour to con trol or interfere in the slightest degree with the religious feelings of any portion of her Majesty's subjects; and I have to close my remarks on the subject of education in these few words—that my .feelings are in favour of a gene ral unseetarian system of education ; that I would not give my consent to anything of an exclusive privilege on the part of any religious society in the education of the people— (Hear, bear)—but, at the same time, I hope that all men will be allowed, whilst they may obtain secular instruction in any schools that may be established, fully and freely, without any check or control, to train up their children in those religious feelings which they themselves may deem best for their present and eternal welfare.—(Loud ap plause.) These are days for practical legislation ; the days of mere party are gone by for ever, let us hope. It would not do for me now to stand before the body of the electors of Manchester to talk in a vague manner of the blessings of our glorious Constitution, and the great advan tages of the wooden walls of Old England.—(Laughter.) No, you want to heir the opinions of your representative upon practical measures, and, I think the day is come when the Ministers of the Crown will find themselves obliged, in deference to public opinion, to advance—that they will rind it impossible to stand still—that, if they stand still, they will begin to retrograde, and the nation will place others in their situation who will carry out good and practical mea sures.—(Cheers.) I was glad to see, from the announce ment in Loa - John Russell's speech, that he intends to deal with the question of the sanatory condition of the people. I think great :benefits are to be conferred on our town population by some arrangements which would secure better drainage and better ventilation, so as to contribute not only to the physical comforts of the people, but also pro mote their moral welfare. I know not the practical plans it is intended to adopt; no doubt they will be based on those teports which have. been made by learned men and Commissioners who have inquired into the subject; but all I can say is, I shall be glad to give my hearty support to any measure which will have the tendency to improve the health and physical condition of her Majesty's . subjects, also to raise their moral position and to increase their happiness. —(Cheers.) I will not, electors of M uichester, detain you longer; we shall soon have a general election—you will then have it in your power, if you do not approve of my conduct as a member of the Government, to signify your disapproba tion by not returning me to another Parliament. My earnest endeavour shall be conscientieusly to discharge the im portant duties that are imposee upon me, and to promote by every means in my power those principles of freedom 05 trade which I have advocated in Manche , ter; aril it will 1 7 my earnest de-ire to merit by my co nduct the confidence and approbation that you have been pleased to be stow u p on me. The Right Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst much cheer ing non; the gentlemen on the hustings, and a part of the crowd. The Rev. J. .CIIOLFIELD said lie had been requested by the operative , cotton-spinners of Manchester and the factory hands-generally, to ask Mr. Gibson whether he would sup port a Ten Ilours' Bill, if brought into Parliament ? Mr. GIBSON said he would give a candid answer, which was, that he did not wish to interfere between master and man ; he would rather see such an arrangement brouffht about between them and their employers —(Cries of " We cannot.") He did not like to cut off at one blow one-sixth of the labouring man's capital, and therefore he would not vote for the Ten Hours' Bill.—(Groans, hisses, and cheers.) The electors were subsequently addressed by Mr. R. Psiiurs; and after thanks having been voted to tbeiaclayor, the proceedings terminated about half-past eleveno'c In the course of the afternoon, a deputation from the factory workers waited on the Right Hon. Gentleman on the subject of the Ten Hours' Rill. LISK EARD. LISKEARD. SATURDAY. --Mr• C. Buller arrived at Liskeard on Friday.

Bromley, on behalf of the funds of the Printers' Pension Society. As early as ten o'clock in the forenoon the town of Bromley presented a scene of happiness and amusement. business being in a great measure suspended. Between ten and eleven o'clock Mr. Batty's equestrian troop arrived, and preparations were made for the commencement of their day performance. The bands of the Royal Artillery and Sappers and Miners, from Woolwich, were also in attendance, and throughout the whole time the company were delighted with the performance of favourite music. The amusements were varied to meet every taste, and the greatest satisfaction pre vailed. The classic grouping of Mr. T. Thomson was warmly received, and the morels dancers also met their share of praise. A ball was held in the evening. The grounds were numerously and very respectably attended.

In the fond hope; however, of checking this great and crying evil, the district visitors in connexion with St. John's Church, Clerkenwell, Rev. H. Hughes, rector, last year opened the present school in Lamb-and-Ping -court, for the ad mission, on the Sabbath day, of this poor. unfortunate,. and long-nett cted slasa of children ; mod I am most. happy to be able to say, that much good has been the re.sui:, sad vilible improvement in both patents an& children to be seen ; but it cannot be exacted, frour the very limited time the children are under instruction on the Sabbath-day, contrasted with the time they wander the streets, that so great an amount of good cart be effected as in Sunday-schools of a higher order, wheze children of a bett, r clips attend, ru.d whose parents, set before them habits of virtue, honesty, industry, and cleanliness. Thin tact nnders it quite necessary that still greater eff .its should be made to 'rescue them from their preseet degraded condition, and to bring them under daily instruction, that the blessed truth may be impreesed upon their minds, that to tear the Lord is wisdom, and to depart from t=vii is understanding • and also to preserve them from witnessing the dreadful ! and revisiting scetbee which abound in these courts and alleys, It must be re membered, Sir, that these dear children have precious and immortal - souls, and it is the bounden duty of every sincere Christian, so far as his Heiteenly Father hath given him ability, to assist in endeavouring to tram them up for immortality and glory, that they Ivey net I.ree to say, no man cared for my soul. These schools, which are commodious and airy,. arc capable of accommodating 100 boys and eighty girls with comfort, will not cost a very large sum annually for a master and mistress, and other necessary requisites — when the amount of good which must of necessity follow is taken into consi,teration—which . is proposed to be raised by annual subscriptions of any amount, howefer small, the Christian public may think proper to give. The sum of about 30L has b. en already received towards this de sirable object, and with this amount it is intended to open these schools, in faith, believing that the faithful , and devoted servants of the Lord Jesus Christ, to whom worldly substance has been given, will devote a portion of it to this great and good object, and that they will not permit the doors to be closed against these poor unfortu nate and hitherto totally-neglected class of children for the want of the necessary means of carrying them on. I can assure you, Sir, that much anxii ty is felt by the district visitors who visit the wretched and filthy abodes of the poor (gratuitoualy) from room to room, so that none are overlooked, arid also by Mr. Vanderkiste, the present indefatigable London City Missionary, who works in conjunction with us in this work of faith and labour of love, especially alien the number of cases of juvenile delinquency which are brought to the Sessions' House (about 100 yards from the school), from the im mediate locality are considered, and the strong remarks made session after session by the jury , in the discharge of their painful duty, that the thought of not beingi able to continue these schools open becomes really, and with out the least exaggeration, a. most alarming one.

MELANCHOLY OccuREENCE OFF BANKSIDE,—TWO LIVES LOST.—On Monday forenoon, shortly after ore o'clock, a distressing accident happened at Bankside, near London bridge, by which two lives were lost. What renders it more painful is, that it was witnessed by a great crowd of persons on shore, who were unable to render the least assistance to the unfortunate parties. The mity arose from the prac tice of bathing at that place, which is most dangerous, in consequence of the steepness of its banks and the great number of ballast holes. A number of youths, from nine to sixteen years of age, had been bathing during the forenoon, when at the time mentioned, a cry was raised that a youth was drownieg, and one was seen struggling in the agonies of death within fifteen or :sixteen yards of the bank. Another youth, named Pry, fifteen years of age, hastened to the spot Wlererthe'l-oy had been seen to go dean, and dived atter him, but when he rose it was seen he other boy had grasped some part of his bode, and that they were both drat n iog. A large number of persons collected along Bankside—there being a regatta going on-great contusion ensued, but before l t T a boat could be put off to their assistance, the youths had di-appeared, and were pot seen at , er wards. O a F kfast D and N EU K ti ,: p c . 1 , m f E l., Llt y o T a P p c u T t tr i crt bre aid of the funds of the above excellent society, was celebrated in the pl..a.ttre grounds of Moat House, Alderman Fairbro ther's villa, at Stockwell. The weather was brilliant'y tine, and the fete, which was numerously attended, went off• with grea thetechit. cnAoftlepranspy sit spending some a def timeienunperro, laid promenading the a the ground:, spacious marquee, erected for the occasion beneath the grate ful shade of the trees, the banquet being enivoned with the strains of a military band. The Lord Mayor, who presided, The Queen Dowager, then briefly proposed the toasts usual (n such occasions, among which were—" The Queen," " Patroness of the Institution," and " Prosperity to the So ciety." The company afterwards adjourned to the lawn, when the amusement of dancing commenced, and was pur sued with much spirit, with the substitution of fresh turf and the setting sun for gas light and chalked boards. The proceeds of the fire will, we hope, prove a welcome ad dition to the funds of the society. THE MURDER AT KINETON, WARWICKSHIRE.— (From a Correspondent.)—No clue to this mysterious affair had been found up to Friday night, when bills were printed at Warwick offering 100/. reward by the Secretary of State for the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrator of this atrocious crime. Early on Monday morning, however, pri vate information was received at the county town that two persons were actually in custody, a rumour to that effect having proved to be incorrect on the Monday previously. We therefore immediately set out for Eineton, and on Arriv ing there about two o'clock. P.m. we foetid that a private ex amination of witnesses had been going on at the Red Lion-inn from eleven o'clock in the morning. Upon making an application for admission to the magistrates, we were in formed, that the court had thought it best for the ends of justice that the details of the evidence should be kept private until a formal public examination, as the aspect of the case then was only (me of " strong suspicion." The names of the parties taken into custody were James Shelswell and William Mumford, both young men, and both natives or residents of Bineton. THE SUSSEX CLUB —The members of this county club dined together on Saturday, at the Thatched-house Tavern, • St.- James's. street. The Duke of Richmond pre shied, and among the circle were Lord Abinger, Sir C. Burrell, M.P., Sir John Dodson, &c. It was the list meet ing this season. Lord Abinger was named president for the next dinner. A stonecutter, called Mitchell, was killed on Friday evening last, at six o'clock .by the fall of a rock at Mr. Gil quarries, under the Hoe.—Plymouth Times. THE LATE MURDER AT LANIVET, NEAR BODNIN.—. On Sunday last, two men were brought to Bodmin, having surrendered themselves at Devonport on suspicioq of being concerned in the above murder. There is a woman now in Bodmin gaol, under sentence of transportation, for a robbery committed some time since at Liskeard, and who asserts ' that she was present when the woman called Somerset Ann was murdered. In consequence of her allegations a warrant was issued out against two men whom she described, and it was supposed that these were the same. On being confronted , however, witkthe.pri,onens, it appeared that she could not identify them: and thee' were 'consequently discharged.
