THE QUEEN DOWAGER. PoursmouTn, Female—This morning the Lightning tender was sent out at 7 o'clOck, to bring ashore the servants and inferior persona of her Majesty's suite, with such articles of baggage as had been left yesterday on board the Howe. The Fairy went out at 10 a.m., and her Majesty left the Howe at a quarter before 11. There was no salute on her leaving, nor yards manned, her Mjesty having declined both the latter, on account of the weather, which was both wet and cold. The yacht was in the hurbour so quickly •(orily "16 minutes from leaving the Howe) that it appeared asif all hands were taken by surprise. Sir Charles Ogle, who was foremost, was just in time to reach the yacht as she turned into the creek. The rest of the officers whose attendance was commanded on the oceasion bad to race for it, and her Majesty, with that kind consideration which always characterizes, her actions, ordered the whole back again, with the exception of those whose attendance was indispensable. Although the tide was out, the Fairy was with considerable dexterity warped alongside the jetty by Commander Crispin, but her Majesty did not leave the yacht until the baggage and servaets had been stewed in the train, which was not completed until ten minutes to twelve o'clock, when the Royal party disembarked under the escort of .Sir Charles Ogle and Lord Fitz• clarenee, who had provided a sedan to carry the Quee❑ Dowager Irons the yacht to the carriages. There were in attendance to receive her Majesty, besides the heads of the Governinen4, Lady Augusta and the Hon. Miss Fitzclarence, whom her Majesty most affectionately saluted. The Royal train was set in motion at five minutes to twelve, and left for Nine Elms in charge of Mr. Young, assistant chief superintendent of the Lon don terminus. The Howe left Lisbon on the 4th inst., and arrived at Madeira on the Bth. Her Majesty embarked on the 11th, arid sailed on the evening of the 14th ; op the fol. lowing day, at noon, she passed. the western end of Madeira, and on that day week made the Saintes, near Hashant, but the wind being to the northward, did not make this port until yesterday morning, the 27th. The Howe's passage from Lisbon to Madeira and England was made, under ail the circumstances, in the same time as an ordinary passage direct. She was towed with some little assistance from the ship (fore and aft sails) Eif knots, by the Scourge, and sometimes yi without any aid frorce,the ship at nil. During the voyage a new ar rangeineut for towing was tried, which was found in all respects to answer most admirably—towing with one hawser and two► bridles—the advantages being in -facia. wing the operation of taking-in tow, and in giving the towing vessel the power of more freely directing her own movements. Her Majesty parted with the officers of the llowe in a manner which left a feeling 'of regret in the breast of every gallant fellow among them, but at the same time impressed all with a sentiment of veneration for the parental solicitude mainfested by her Majesty in their future honour and advaneement. With Sir James Stirling Her Majesty seemed loath to say adieu. so deeply did she seem to appreciate that Gallant Officer's ever watchful and loyal attention to her happiness and that of her illustrious family. Various an►i numerous instances of the Queen Dowager's munificent benevolence ashore and of aat have come to our knowledge, but aa good deeds shun the light, we shall treat the acts only as such acts should be treated—wi.h silent admiratiou... The Mercury tender arrived this morning with a num• ber of newly entered bands for the vessels fitting at this port. The Gorgon steam•sloop, Commander T. A. D. Payn or, went out of harbour to-day. The Sharpshooter steam-vessel, Lieutenant Com mending J. C. Bailey, wai paid advance this week and was about to to out to try her engines last evening, but broke down before. she had got a dozen yards, and was compelled to go to one of the buoys. It is understood the Howe is to come into harbour to refit. In Harbanr,—The Victory, Illustrious, Excellent, Powerful, Bellerophon, Hastings. and Blenheim; Scourge, Sharpshooter, Lightning. Fire Queen, Echo, and Fairy steamers ; the Rolla (exercise vessel). In Dock.—The Orestes, Jackal, and Ajax. In the Basin.—The Victoria and Albert, Malabar, Growler, Cormorant, and Rocket. At Spithead.—The Howe, and Gorgon. Wind, N.W., morerate breezes, and cloudy weather. COVE OF CORK, APRIL 24. Phis morning signal was made by Sir Charles Napier,—"Foreyard is carried away—make another as a substitute." The Canopus got a maintopsail yard up in the Flace of a fore, and bent a maintopsail for a foresail, unbent the foretopsail, and bent a mizsntopsail instead, which was done and the sail made in one hour and twenty minutes. The St. Vincent got the fore yard down, built a fore yard with a topsail yard and spare spark, got it up, bent and set the proper sails in two hours and forty minutes,—a a proof the sailors of Sir Charles Napier's squadron have not given up seamanship altogether, and been made into soldiers, as certain scribes would have their readers believe. THE ROYAL CLARENCE BATTALION.—This afternoon Colonel (Captain Superintendent) Sir William E. Parry and the officers of this battalion, gave the men coto• prising it a most substantial testimonial of their apprecia tion of the p ro fi c i ency attained in their soldierly duties, more especially of the praiseworthy manner in which they had performed all the duties of sentinels in charge of the Government po.sts on the Gosport side of the harbour during the late apprehension of riot, in the shape of a good and well-appointed dinner, in one of the store-,roonis of the establishment, to which 200 "loyal men and tru e " sat d own at half-past four o'clock, their estimable Colonel and Captain Superintendent taking the; presidential chair, and Majors Grant and Davies other posts of chairmanship at other points of the festive board. It is almost suprrfluous to stare that a most unanimous feeling of loyalty to the Queen and her officers as n and he sentim e ntsofneofficers w were a u v t e t , e r t h e ( e l b b y a n t q h u e e r 4 e e a i n p d i e i n h t a s t of, all a p s ass prevailed, and th at some most manly and worthy speeches well ed off s at a judicious hour of the evening, with most gra. tifying cordiality, decorum, and eclat. The arrange ments and fittings of the room in which this festive commemoration took place were uni • que. They were inspected before the gathering b Lad Augusta and the arence Hon.

Yesterday afternoon a detachieent, consisting of two sergeants and fifteen rank and file of the ist battalion of rho 12th regiment of Foot, arrived at Fort Pitt, nivali.ts from their head-quarters at Wendon. The above have just returned fr.-in the Mauritius. Mr Henry Angelo, superintendent of sword exercise, arrived at this garrison yesterday afternoon, and in spseted the officers and non-commissioned officers in their sword exercise. Sergeant Major Menzies, 06:h Regiment, was in command, and the able manner in which both officers and non-commissioned officers per formed their duty called forth some complimentary ex pression from Mr. Angelo to the ,sergeant-Major for the efficient discipline displayed on this occasion. At the , conClusion, Mr.:Angelo departed for Maidstone, to.fn spent the troops there. • - - ------- - IRELAND. DUBLIN, Aram 27. The Attorney-General has adopted the same course in regard to Alcssrs. Smith O'Brien and -Meagher th at was taken yester d ay in the prosecution againat Mr. Mitchell. The indictments already. foundlhav e been qu4,shed—c.r-njicio inrormations• have been filed, and, in tact, the proceedings have been recommenced de novo. Atl the traversers „are now under rule to plead to the informations filed against them within four days ; and the Crown arc evidently anxious to secure the trials of the traversers in the sittings after the present term. . The Crown deemed it expedient to *abandon the in dictments against Messrs. O'Brien and Meagher, al though they had not entered any dil ator y pleas, and had aConce Fiined issu e with the Crown, because it would be open to them - to appeal to the House of Lords after conviction, on the ground raised by Mr. Mitchell's plea, relative to the disqualification of members of the corpo ration to act as grand jurors. Besides, there are upon the grand jury several magistrates of the borough of Dublin, including the 'foreman, Sir Edward Borough, against whom the same objection might be raised under the Municipal Act. • There appears to be full time for the necessary legal preliminaries, to ensure a trial in the case of Mr. Mitchell, within the sittings after the present term, hut it is quite possible that the trials of the two other traver sers may be delayed until next term; and, in that case, the Crown might nor, in th e event of conv i c ti o n, be able to obtain judgment. before Michaelmas term. SALES OF ESTATES: In the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon we find the following statement on the subject The extensive extensive property of the Duke of Buckingham in Ireland, c , mprising several thousands of acres—the sale of which has been committed to the judicious ma nagement.of Messrs. Williams and C0.,-of Seaford-street, in this city—was yestelda y opened by publie auction, at the Chamber of Commerce, in Dame-street. The Buck ingham'and Chandos estates, in the county of Clare, were the first submitted to sale, in six different lots; and atter: several unsuccessful attempts on the part of the auctioneer to attract a purchaser, the sale wag with drawn; after which the entire of those six divisions were satisfactorily disposed of to one purchaser at a fair rate of purchase. •' This day the estates in the Queen's County were submitted to sale; and from the hour appointed for com petition by Mr. Williams, the spacious apartments in which the sale was conducted was crowded with spirited competitors From this circumstance it would appear, that the sound at heart have no apprehensions about the peace of the country, and the security of property in Ireland. The example of the enterprising capitalist who ye.terday swept the board, has this day been fol lowed by a great number of persons, by whom a spirited competition has been carried on. Several lots of the Queen's County estates were this day disposed of, at prices varying from twenty to twenty-five years' pur- chase." REPEAL. The Cork Town Council has again declared for repeal by a large majority. ' The Limerick Examiner proposes the following plan for puzzling the Government reporters by carrying on the agitation in the Irish tongue:— " Can the stenographers report in Irish ? It appears to be forgotten that some of the beat speakers, aye, and the truest patriots in Ireland. are masters of the sweet flowing and most expressive Gaelic, no dialect of which is-unintelligible to large masses of people in Munster, at all events. The best speech we ever heard delivered, and we have heard some good ones —was oee in Irish, and it was spoken by O'Connell. Every priest, and numbers of la) men, in this part of Ireland, can speak fluently, racily, unreportably, in the figurative, national, glorious old language ; and this being so, .we should like, indeed, to look at a lettered Cockney taking down the speech—words, idioms, allusions, ampinboligies, and nil—and then transcribing his notes' for the Attorney- General or Lord Clarendon. His Lordship's biblical tastes may have brought him acquainted with the s en . known tongues,' but it 'is at least doubtful whether he he:could spell his way through a speech in Irish from the note-book of either Irish ) English stenographer." THE AMENT. • The following. extraordinary notification • appears in the Waterford Ckronicle;— "Peremptory sale by'auction of fire arms. Supply yourselves now or never! A few posts back the sub- scriber intimated to the public his intention to offer for sale, by auction, a varied assortment of fire arms. He now takes leave to apprise the public generally, that he proposes on Friday, the sth day of . May next, and folio wing days, till disposed of, to offer for - unreserved sale, at 119. Parade, opposite the Steam Packet Station, 300 first-rate guns, and flO pistols. among which connois seurs will find such articles as to tickle their fancy, and of Which they can have a bargain, as his instrultions are to sell, bring whatever price they may. Pistols from one to six barrels, round and square blunderbusses, carbines, fowling and twist barrel guns, both double and single, with bayonets. Some first class rifles! Together with shot, bullets, powder flasks, percussion caps, bullet moulds, and all other requisites befitting such articles . Persons wishing to supply themselves with any of the above are requested to make an early application, as they may not again have so favourable an opportunity of supplying their wants at such moderate terms.

SANITARY STATE OF THE CITY.--Thursday night a Bride, Fleet -street, was held in public meeting of the inhabitants the parish of St. joining the church, for the purpose of ltincrchurch wardens tor the ensuint , year, a n d a l so th o e f vestry ro o m ad petitioning the House of Commons on the sanitary im provement of the City, as suggested by the Court of Sewers. The Rev. Charles Marshall, the vicar, having electing ' propriety of been called to the chair, and Messrs. Nason and Cot terell elected as churchwardens; Dir. Williams, one of the members of the Court of Common Council, brought under the con4ideratima of the meeting the subject of the sewers. In no city in the world, he contended, was the drainage so complete as in the city of London. •Cliere were sixty-one miles of public thoroughfare and forty-two miles of sew, rs of the best description. The Government, however, in their anxiety for a system 01 centralization, found fault with the sewers being too large. The object the City Commissioners of Sewers had in view in going to Parliament for extra powers was, to compel every person to make drains from the houses to the sewers, so that every kind of filth could be car- i tied off. •It was the duty of the inhabitants to protect themselves, by supporting the Cenatnissioners of Sewers, who were elected by themselves (the inhabitants) from the Government measure. Mr. Williams at some length showed, that whilst the expense of other commissions had been from 25 to 33 per cent., in the City it had been but 17 per cent., and concluded by moving that the fol. lowing petition be presented to the House of Commons, which was seconded by Mr. Nason, and after some few words from Mr. Edkins, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Lowe, &c., w as carried unanimously :—" To the Honoucable the Com mons of the United Kingdom, &c. The humble petition ot the imh, h of . t e h t the parishtat a of Bill S is now pending St. Bride, withinedi the city of London, shng in your Honourable House ' to provide for the sanitary im provement of the city of London and the liberties thereof, and for the )setter cleansing, sewering, paving, and lighting the same.' That your petitioners are of opinion that the provisions of the said Bill are we ll calculated to eff ec t th e sa lutary objects thereby intend e d for the sanit ar y regu l ation an d improvement of th e c i ty of London. Th at t h e centra lization of power i n any ' a local general board for acccomplishing the objects bef ore the Poor -law mentioned, your petitioners consider highly objection able, and tending to diminish the authority of the local body, by depriving them of the management and control of the improvement which, from their knowledge, they are most competent to carry :into effect. Your petitioners, Hall, therefore, humbly pray your Honourable House that the said Bill may pass into a law, and that your Honourable House will not pass any measure establishing a general board of Government officers, and depriving the l oca l authorities of the management of their own affairs."

We call a man in,,the House an honourable gentleman ; we dish up a bishop in an apron. We go to Court dressed in absurd old fashioned bags and buckles.

Cuff:e—Washin and luxuries be blowed, I say. What I want is that every man should have a bellyful, arid (here's my health to you, Colonel) that there should be no superfluities. I say we ave ad victuals and drink enough to support twenty men. Look at this table and all this your plate. This year gilt fork (don't be afraid, I ain't a going to prig it, Colonel) would keep a family for a week. You've got a dozen of 'em. Why should you ? I once ad two teaspoons marked with aC. ; but that was in appier times, and they are separated now. Why are you to are dozens ? What eve you done for 'em ? You toil not, neither do you spin.

The time has come for doing away with these superfluities, and that's the great Principles of Freedom. Your heal - h, Citizen. Mr. Dizzy—lt our friend, the Colonel, had no security for his spoons, those articles, which are indeed very ele gant, would lose half their worth. My horse way be worth twenty pounds in London now; but if I acn certain that the Government will take possession of him to mount the cavalry, my tenure in the brute becomes hazardous, and his value instantly drops. And suppose you were to make a general distribution of all the spoons in the kingdom—what would happen next ? He would ex change his silver for bread; that is, the man who had the most bread would come into possession of the most spoons, as now. , Would you commence the process over again? You propose an absurdity, Mr. Cuffee. No : our friend and host has as good a right to his forks us to his teeth; and may he long use both in the discussion of his meals. Mr. Culfee—The law of man and nature • is—that a moan should live, and dust he is as good as his neighbour. No honest Chartist wants your rights, he 'only wants his own. The Aristocracy have managed matters for us so badly: have made themselves so rich and us so poor, by managing for us, that now we're determined to manage for ourselves. We can't be worse— Mr. Dizzy—Yes, I say you can. Mr. Cuffee—l say, again, we can't be worse: and that we are the stromte.t, and mean to hava it. We'll come down in the might of our millions, and say we will be heard—we will be represented —we will be fed— or if not— Mr. Dizzy—That's your Convention talk, Cuffee— don't talk to us in that way. Sibby—No, no, you may wish it, and you may wish you may get it; but since the 10th, I think that cock won't fight—Ay, my boy? I say, wasn't that a glorious ,ight, Mr. Doodle, to see a people rally round their Queen in the way that the citizens did? Gentleman from P.—Rally round the Queen 1 You would Lve had to go to Osborne to do that , Cuffee (with a satirical air)—Where his Royal High ness, the Prin ce , was a ta ki ng care of her Majesty. Dizzy—Fish ! The flag. staff was here, on Bucking. ham Palace arch, with the crown on the top—What matter that the flag was down? My dear sir, Monarchy is but a symbol, by which we represent Union, Order, and Property. Sibby—Our Glorious Consitution, dammy! Dizzy—And we can rally round a stick just as well as a living sovereign. The times are gone by when kings turned out with white panachea, and tilted against their enemies like so many dragoons.

Cuffee—lf a stick would do as well as a sovereign, why not have one? It don't cost so much—it never dies. It might be kept in a box lined with ermine, and have a stamp at the end to sign the warrants. And it might be done for less than four hundred thousand a year. Gentleman from P.—We can do it for less in our country —our President, Mr. Polk, for instance. Dizzy—Your President, Mr. Polk, cost you a Mexican war; how many millions of dollars is that? If in this country we were to have an electicn every year, a strug gle for the President's chair every three years, men taking advantage of the excitement of the day, and out bidding each ot h er on the Popul ar cr y, we s h ould lose in mere money ten times as mu c h as the Sovereign costs Cuff . us.

Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there being a very heavy hail storm about noon, the attendance was unusually large. The Hampshire Down rains might be said to excel any of that far-famed breed brought forward for competition since the'estab liahment of the society. C. E. Rombold, Esq., carried off the prize against Messrs. W. Saunders, W. Edney, (second prize). The cows and heifers shown by Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., R. Etwall, Esq., J. Sadler, E: q., Mr. W. Dean, W. Busigny, Esq., &c., were all fine ani mals. The annual dinner was attended by about two hundred persons. In the absence of C.

BISHOP OF .CANTERBURY. • CANTERBURY,. FRIDAY.—This day being appointed for the entbronization of the Archbishop of Canterbury, the gentry of Kent began to pour into the city at au early hour, it being known that the new Primate proposed to !word in person, and 'not to be enthroued by pr. , .xy The doors of the cathedral were opened before ten e'clortk, and the epaciou• choir. nearly 200 feet long, w as tilled silliest immedian ly by those who had secured tickets of afmission. We observed present the Marchioness of Conyngharit, Lord A. Conyegham, M.P , the Earl and Countesa Delawarr, Lord and Lady Sondes, Sir B. Bridges, Mr. Deedes, M.P., Mr. Rice, Mr. S. R. Lushington, Mr. B. Hope, Colonel Finch, tile High Sheriff, and some members of nearly all the great county families. About eleven o'clock the procession entered the nave, headed by the choristers, saw were singing ths 148:h, 149th, and 150th Pse.lons, and the Hallelujah chorus; producing a singularly solemn effect in the choir, as the Hallelujahs from the voices of singers not yet seen wandered among the forest of pillars, and came roliing in louder and louder, whilst the train approached the gate of the choir. The Arch bishop was attended by the Dean of the province (the Bishop of Lichfield, as proxy for the Bishop of London), the Sub-Dean (the Bishop of Winchester), the Dean and Vice-Dean, and other officers of the Cathedral church, and about 200 clergymen. His Grace having passed up the choir, and taken his seat in a chair placed on the north side of the communion-table, morning service was begun. At the end of the first lessen. the Archdeacon went down froin his stall and conducted the Archbishop to his throne, on the south side of the choir, opposite to the pulpit. The mandate for the enthronizition was then produced by the Vic sr-General, Dr. Burnaby, and read by the Auditor, and the Archdeacon said:—"l, James Croft, Master of Arts, Archdeacon of Canterbury do induct, install, and enthrone you, the. Most Rev. Father in God John Bird Sumner, Doctor in Divinity, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, into the archbishopric and archiepiscopal dignity of the see of Canterbury, and Into the r ea l, actual, and corporal possession of the same, e wi m t . h all and s i ngular the rights, dignities, honours, pre prfizseneerronrrcefehs,foarieldvEnore.appurtenances Mornin g n thereof, and the Lord your . going out a n d y our com i ng in, f rom t hi s table, just outsideowthP the in duction was repeated; service then proceeded; and on its conclusion Placed in front of the communion chair, whichArchbishopisriwas conducted to the ancient marble Dean's stall, at the raanidkhis Grace then passed to the ,:viertiitern end of the choir, and was Ile , e the same form of and having real and actual possession rights I:ossession of and token of his taking placed in that seat, terhury, and of all th and privileges thereof." and a prayer for the file Te Deum was next sure the see of Can aving worthily fulatillpeily to rule this Archbishop was read---" thatn'ii o d his course, at ge.f„righteousness Ged in his office, and long live ' la, ' fuithfully serve The Church, and that, h the latter day hem iy receive the crown laid up by the Lord the righteous Jud bishop pronounced the blessing, and the Arch proceedings the choir thus terminated. His Grace went then into in Chapter-house, where he was placed in the chief seat the a and took the oath " to maintain the rights and libertiesset of this Church, and to observe the approved custoass 1 thereof, avid, as 'far as it concerned him, to cause the same to be observed by others, so far as such customs are not repugnant to God's word, the laws, statutes, pro. visions, and ordinances of the realm, or to her Majesty's prerogative, and not otherwise." The Archdeacon, Deans, and other authorities, having next severally " promised to pay canonical obedience to his Grace," an act of the proceedings was signed, and the assembly was dismissed by the Dean. This closed the whole cere • mony, and the congregation then dispersed. ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK. Yesterday a meeting of the select vestry of St. Ste phen's, Walbrook, was held in Alderman Gibb's private residence, which has resulted in again throwing the parish into all its former excitement. Pursuant to the announcement of the select vestry, four of that body, via, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, Mr. Alex ander, Mr. Whittaker, and Mr. Lucking, with Mr. Pearce, the clerk or legal adviser, entered the vestry room of the parish There were also in the room Messrs. Hock and Fiighr, the parishioners' churchwardens, Mr. Cunliffe, the banker, Mr. Unwin, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Murrell, Mr. Kendrick, Mr. Crosbie, the vestry clerk, and many other influential gentlemen of the parish. After a brief pause, Mr. ALEXANDER observed, that there were persons present who were not members of the select vestry, and he, therefore, begged of them to withdraw. At this period of the proceedings the Rev. Rector entered the room, when Mr. ALEXANDER addressed him, and drew his atten tion to the circumstance that there were persons present who were not of the select vestry; at the same time begging him to request those parties to retire, as chair man in his right of rector. Br. CROLY said, the only person he saw there whom the parish recognised as a select vestryman vas Mr. Alderman Gibbs; but he understood that they met there to bring about an amicable arrangement of their affairs. That was the nature of the communication sent to him. The parishioners joined in the feeling, and were anxious to promote the close of the struggle. Mr. ALEXANDER then moved that the select vestry do adjourn to Mr. Alderman Gibbs's private residence, and the four of the tody approving of the resolution took up their hats, and, with Mr. Pearce, lett the church and proceeded to the Alderman's residence in Walbrook, where we understand they went through their business. A very warm and spirited discussion here ensued amongst the parishioners as to the manner the select vestry had treated them. Dr. CROLY observed that it was a very unhappy result for the parish, and he was deeply afraid they woulu fail in getting any satisfactory arrangement from the gentlemen terming themselves select vestry men. Several gentlemen suggested the laying of the whole facts before her Majesty's Government, which might induce them to support a Bill in their (the parishioners') behalf. Mr. CROSBIE fancied that an application to Parlia ment would have little effect in the present position of their proceedings. Dr. CROLY thought if the case was introduced in an able manner it might have some beneficial effect. He would suggest' s, meeting of the united parishes to con sider the subject. Mr. ROCK then joined in the general opinion, and re marked that he would seek an audience with Lord John Russell or Sir G. Grey relative to the grievances they laboured under. A conversation having ensued as to the locus standi of the three colleagues of the . alderman in the select vt.stry, in the course of which Dr. Croly loudly protested against Mr. Lucking, who is a butcher living nett door to the alderman, being put down as one of the " se lect," a general meeting of the parishioners was deter mined on. .

Great progress has been made during the last sew days. NEWTOS.—I - ff•re all the crops look very promising, and farm-wee kis well ndvauced. Itartms Voss —.L'ise crops look well on all the-re claimed mosses, where the land is well drained. The grass is very abundant; the when plant thick ; and the oats, which were got in early on these roils. are, teem two tin three inches big% In some places they hare been thinned by slas. hat not to any serious a xtent. This is an evil which may bo prevented by sprinkling hot lime over the land, early in the morning, before the dew is dispersed, and whilst the animals are still on the Plants. Potato setting has made great progress in the fields ; and in the gardens the potato plants are above ground. The sheep kept on these lands are giving a very large crop of lambs this season. On one farm which we are ac quainted with there are 108 lambs to 69 ewes. ISLAM TOWNSHIP —There is a great show for dam sons, pears, and all kinds of fruit in this -township; and along the whole valleys of the Irwell and the Mersey. The oats are beginning to show themselves in many places, and the wheat looks well on all land that is either naturally dry or which is well drained. On wet land it is turning yellow, but not losing root. As a proof of the earliness of the season, we may mention that the cuckoo has now been heard in this neighbourhood for nearly a fortnight, an that swallows were seen hawking for flies on Good Friday. All kinds of wall fruit are setting Canissres.D. : —Th e re is a tile manufactory at work in this township, which is supplying the farmers with what they have so long wanted—the materials for thorough draining. There is very little land in South Lancashire which is sufficiently drained by nature to dispense with artificial draining, even in ordinary seasons; and in wet seasons like the present, the superiority of drained land, both in case of cultivation and healthiness of produce, must strike even the most inattentive. It is too late, how ever, for drains put in now to do much good this season. In this neighbourhood every cottage has its garden, all full of flowers or vegetables, and every farm its orchard, and the appearanee and odour of the country are equally delightful. In the cottage gardens, cabbages, lettuces, onions, beans, and peas, have taken the place of Oa gad potato, en tos withouta a considerableiair quantity extent, u t h r p ou u g : h a t thereu beds s a . re Pre vious ;07 vious to th e f a il ure o f the potato i n Ireland, the ready through these villages swarmed with Irish pig., but you may now drive 20 miles without meeting with a single. Irish grunter. Hollins aoLLINS GREEN.—In crossing the River Mersey at" Green, we observed that the river was not higher than usual, though the undermined and crumbling banks Ora the Cheshire side still bear witness to the strength of the winter floods. The meadows on both sides of the Irwell and Mersey have been flooded two or three times duringcrop thea winter months, and give promise of a double , b a u syTahbe, sedimentve the he s tr l e e a f m t by at both these e r r j,. streams is a w l e m re ost as fertilising as that of the Nile.

The awl ' • uch oak, which is gvne t r b a:y b(pch, d an e r ep th er he .r a i n ve d. r. rie T he h r e , L and even the lesi r i s i bec l rid o i n t i h e e s , a tine tree on the Cheshire side of thel7l sycamore, the elm, all grow luxuriantly. This is a country of ( m )c e h "r Cha d ds ( e e n n d market gardens. The road sides are lined with dim on trees, and the farmhouses and cottages are buriedain blossoms. For at least ten miles from this point, either up or down the river, every village seems to be covered with a vast sheet of bloom of the purest white, and the roads are perfumed with its fragrance. The wheat plant is very abundant threugh this and all the adjoining townships, and in general it retains its colour. The oats arc coming up very regularly. Large quantities of early cabbages are cultivated in the fields as well as in the gardens, and there are whole fields of peas, the plants in which are two or three inches above the ground. The clovers and grasses are most luxuriant, and in one or two shulte! el spots the Italian rye-grass loug enough for the scythe. bUNIIAM MASSEY.— All the corn crops look well in this beautiful township; the potatoes are planted; and vege tables of all sorts, as well as grass, are very promising. A tile manufactory has been formed at Wood Houses, to the right of the Bridgwater Canal, the produce of which will render the draining of this fine district perfect. Lord Stamford is setting a good examp l e to his tenants by draining his park at Dunham Niassey, which has long wanted it. The woods at Dunham, though not yet in their glory, are yery beautiful, from the abundance of blossom on the wild cherries, and the delicate tints of the yourg leaves. ALTRINCIIAM.—This is one of the earliest and most fertile districts in the North of England, and nothing can be more beautiful than its appearance at the present time. The same remark applies to the appearance of the crops in the townships of Stretford and Barton. In addition to the above townships we have visited then townships of Worsley, Ashley, Leigh, Culeheth, Naar_ church, Risley, Orford, 'Warrington, Atartinscroft, and Elixton, during the last few days, and our decided impression is, that the prospects for the growing crops are favourable. The only exception is with regard to oats, and even as to them there is still time fur the. growth of a full crop. VALUE OF RAILWAY 81IA.RES. We pointed, in our last review, to the enormous fall which had taken place, during the five weeks ending with the 24tb March last, in the market value of our owns railway shares, and in the prices of foreign funds. W e regard it as a favourable symptom, that this ruinous process of declension would appear to have been effectw ally arrested, and, in some instances; to have given place to a gradual improvement of value. The following figures will explain themselves, with reference to railways ; and the following table will exhibit a similar comparative statement of the leading seourities in the foreign stock market. It will be observed that the greatest decline in the table is in the shares of the Bank of France, caused chiefly by appre hensions for the integrity of that institution under the present government of the republic.

It seems to us this there are very strong . gr ounds for such an. opinion. . The neces.ities of the t imes, and the rapid fall of prices, hare already extruded tion ;of th e weak -holders of railwaya very large por tion property. and of holders who had borrowed the main part of the pur chase money on-tlif•-•4lmoglviik --cd-ctur7strurilur - nisrowlvOs, covered by a margin t o th e lender. There is not, there fore, the same liability of having the market every now and then inundated by men who must sell their shares under any combination of adverse circumstances. Fur ther, the interest yielded by investments made at cur rent rates is very greatly in excess of the returns which can be obtained in any, other quarter,- of equal solidity and repute; and, as a final reason, the mass of foreign capital which is seeking a safe resting place is this country will hardly continue to be poured into one of the most uncertain and least profitable outlets (Consols), when another and a better species of outlay is so close at hand. In pointing out these considerations, we have not the remotest desire to excite or advise speculation; we shill have succeeded as far as we intend if any of our roiders concerned in these undertakings are pre vented from estimating their gains or losses at too high or too low a figure, in consequence of t h e present state of the.market.—Bankers Magazine. 013faktheer, body t y he a Se o b e o r i g r g h e t DEATH FROM .IMPURE.. 4-tn.—Yesterday afternoon ( a n q uest was held before Mr. Arms; Bethnal green, on view Swinby Sanders, aged twenty-one years It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a horse-hair ') dealer; and resided tit No. 37, Gloucester -street, Hackney-road. He was considered a very healthy inset until about a fortnight sinceriih - efilie . complained of extreme thirst, and he was afterwards found to be suffer ing from a f ever of a very malignant character, and h e expired suddenly on Monday last Mr. Gavin, a surgeon, made a post mortem examination of the body, and attri buted death to typhus fever, which was caused by his frequent exposure to the foul air of a filthy privy out side the house. It had not been emptied for nine year; and the effluvium arising from it was most noxious. The drainage in the neighbourhood was also very in sufficient, and numerous deaths had been caused by the impure air. The jury expressed their surprise how families could live in such houses, and directed the Cororer to write to th e b oar d of guardians, to direct their attention to th e • ne i g hb ourhood, and devise some means to remove the nuisance. They returned a verdict that the deceased " Died from the effects of obnoxious Vapours of a privy, an d i nsu ff i c i ent d rainage of the neigh bdurhood."
