The more we reflect on Lord LYNDHURST'S qualification clause in the Corporation Reform Bill, the more we are disgusted with its tricky and disin genuous character. Mischievous however, and even fatal as it is, to the measure which it - professes to im prove, it will, at least, have this good effect, namely, that it will react in full force on their Lordships, by setting the people to enquire what are their quali fications for the task which they have assigned them selves. If a certain quantum of intelligence be neces sary to qualify men to vote at a town-council election, how much more, it will soon be everywhere asked, must be necessary to qualify them to vote in their capacity of supreme Legislators ? This is a question which, we need not say, will place their Lordships in a very ticklish position ; for as at present constituted, they act without qualification of any sort. They need not be wealthy--they need not be intelligent—they need not even be respectable ; they are Peers of the realm, and that one magic word more than counter balances all their deficiencies. Is it not high time that this monstrous anomaly should be reformed ? What use is a Second Chamber, if the majority, in stead of being composed of men qualified by their in telligence to rule over us, is made up of Imbeciles and Intolerants, who, with the usual bigotry of ignorance, act only as a drag-chain on all improvement ? Their Lordships may rely on it, that the hour is close at hand, which will bring their institution to a searching test, and reform it, just in proportion as it approxi mates to, or falls short of, public utility. The pre : . sent age is no longer what it was, twenty, or e ,- en ten years ago. Reform has had the effect of remodelling the national character—has made it active, where it was once passive —intelligent where it was once igno rant—inquisitive where it was once incurious. For this their Lordships have . to thank themselves. They it was who goaded us into the activity which they now so much deprecate. They it was who taught us the-value of knowledge, by making us feel the curse of ignorance. Had they never tyrannized, we should never have resisted. Had they never questioned our rights, we should never have dreamed of questioning theirs. But they would not he convinced : warning after warning passed unheeded by them ; and now nothing remains, but that they prepare for, and make the best of, consequences. Flagrant indeed must have been their conduct, when it ha:, set a whole commu nity, naturally averse to ci:sange, and inheriting an almost superstitious veneration for rank and ancient pedigree, on the enquie w " of what use is the House of Lords ?" Fain v. - .rould we blink this ugly question, but it is forced on us in so many shapes, and comes to us through r..,0 many channels, that it is impossible not to notice it. Wc repeat then that the quere "of what use '.s the House of Lords" is being everywhere daily put, and no where satisfactorily answered. It, has been publicly put at Manchester—at Liver pool—at Sheffield—at Plymouth ; and it will he put in the course of the week at half the public Meetings in the Kingdom. Fog their own sakes, then, if not for ours, we implor e their Lordships, by a few just and timely concezeilons, to stop the further agitation of this, to them, vital question. They, and they only, can do it. Let them not deceive each_other by the idea that they are still omnipotent ;—the power that was once ;'heirs has passed into the hands of the people. What the House of Lords once was, the House of Commons now is. 1 1 ,e Tories are chuckling at the blunder and " some• t}zing more," committed by the Chancellor of the xchequer, in the appropriation of his surplus revenue. Never, indeed, in our recollection was a poor budget _ speech so unmercifully assailed. The scalping knife • of the Standard, and the tomahawk of the Times )ave been applied to it with characteristic ferocity and vindictiveness, aggravated in this case by what appears to - Usfhe injudicious if not extravagant eulogy of their Political - opponents: We side with neither fluty. The truth will, we apprehend, be found to lie between ; and if Mr. S. RICE has fallen short of some of his predecessors in the talent for financial exposition, he has also assuredly surpassed some others of them. We think he will not be far from his proper position if we place him about half way between CANNING and. old Nic. But whatever place among financiers he may be entitled to occupy in point of ability, we must candidly confess that his first essay has not raised him in our estimation, either as a statesman or a man of intregrity. He was " pledged" to reduce the " tax on knowledge," as the newspaper stamp duty has been very properly termed ; and this pledge he ought to have redeemed—and could ►have redeemed, if he had been inclined. But how pitifully does he set to work in order to get rid of his obligation ! He endeavours to screw down his surplus by under stating the probable produce of the taxes for the ensuing year, in a most unprecedented manner ; and when he has accomplished this part of the operation he proceeds to swell the amount of tl, interest due on the West Indian Loan, until I.c brings it within about 200,000/. of his attenu e d surplus. " Now, says he, what am Itodo ? The Stamp Duty on Newspapers more than do:d-ble this sum ; and as those who exclaim against tax have declared that they will not be sat:.sfted with less than its total abolition, I think it better to leave it as it is, and wait for a more favourable opportunity 1" As to the subterfuge resorted to by the Right Hon. Gentleman, that Mr. BULWER had a Mo tion on the subject standing for the 21st, it is almost too contemptible for notice. How can any Motion be effectual at a period when the Session is within a fort night of its close ; Yet such are the pretexts under which Mr. S. RICE tries to wriggle out of his en gagements, and ventures to baulk the public expecta tions. Of what value will his declarations be in future, when he launches forth in praise of the educa tion of the people—the necessity of enlightening public opinion—after he has thus afforded a practical and decisive proof, that be has no wish to remove one of the greatest impediments to the dissemination of knowledge that the wit of man ever contrived. But Mr. S. RICE and his colleagues may repent of their error when it is too late. Their enemies are on the watch, and will not fail to turn this false move to ad- vantage. From the great anxiety which prevails throughout the country for a speedy improvement of the Post- Office Establishment, and from the willingness ex pressed by the House of Commons to give a legisla tive sanction to any project calculated to accomplish the object which the public proposes to itself, we have been induced to examine with more than ordinary care the racent Returns relative to diffetent branches of that establishment, made to Parliament on the motions of Mr. ROBERT WALLACE and Mr. VERNON SMITH. The latter gentleman was one of the Post-office Com missioners, appointed in August 1834, to inquire into the mode of conducting the business of the Post-office Department ; and the principal document before us is the report of that Commission, made to the Lords of the Treasury in the December following. The other Commissioners were Lords MULGRAVE and Co- NYNGIIAM. The Report states that the Commis sioners first directed their attention to a proposal made by the French Post-office authorities, for the purpose of facilitating and simplifying the conveyance of letters between this country and France ; and next, that they took into consideration " the great question of the in ternal communications of the country—with reference to three points, besides the cost—the speed—the frequency—and the diffusion of the Post." Now the Commissioners may have done all this, and a great deal more ; but unless they had apprized us of the fact, we should never have discovered it from the document before us. In fact, we regard the Report as exceed ingly lame in all respects, and particularly deficient where the fullest information ought to have been given. It is almost impossible to find out what are the exact opinions of the Commissioners themselves on any one point of the inquiry—or rather they appear to have terminated their labours as they began them, without having formed any opinion whatever on the subject. They admit that changes are required, but they cau tiously abstain from suggesting in what they ought to consist. Now, although the Crown in the appointment of a Commission only calls for simple evidence on questions or facts regarded as dubious, yet to report implies the right of expressing opinions fully and freely ; which opinions are the more called for, inas, much as persons who hear evidence face to f;!.ce with those who deliver it, are an hundred times better judges of the stress that ought to :,e laid upon it than other persons of equal abi.Y,iy, who only become ac quainted with it th:ough the medium of a printing office. We complain, moreover, of confining the in quiry to sources from whence it was impossible to obtain the fullest information. The members of our national I ::terary institutions ought to have been exa iniwz,a, or otherwise consulted, on a question upon which they are are as well qualified to decide as the clerks in a banking-house. A great difference of opinion prevails among the merchants and bankers of London, with respect to the measure proposed by the French Post-office, for facilitating the conveyance of letters between England and France. Before explaining that mea sure, it may be necessary to inform country readers that under the existing system of Post• office re gulations, persons in England writing to France are obliged to pay the postage to Calais, and that the residue of the postage is paid by the persons to whom the letters are addressed. Exactly the reverse of this takes place when the writers live in France, and ad dress themselves to correspondents in England. The French Post-office authorities proposed-- " 1. To allow the sender of a letter in either country to put his letter into the Post-office without paying any part of the postage, leaning the whole to be defrayed by his correspondent in the other country, to whom the letter is addressed. " 2. To enable him, if he thinks proper, to i, a y t h e postage of the letter, as far as the frontier of olin country only (the mode practised at present.) " 3. To enable him, in like ni4ither, to pay the whole of the postage of the letter, boar Prench and English, at its des tination." To render this proposition of the French Govern ment perfect, nothing was wanted but that the French Post-office should adopt the plan of the English, and charge letters by the sheet instead of taxing them by weight as at present. This obstacle the Duke of RICHMOND, in the course of his examination, ad mitted might have been overcome, had the British merchants approved of the first and third clauses of the proposal. This, however, the majority refused to do. Mark the ground of refusal—because, if a privilege of conveying unpaid letters, between France and England, was established, French men would leave the whole elwrge of postage to be borne by their correspondents here I Such, in plain language, was the gratuitous insult offered to the people of France by a majority of the merchants whom the Post-office Commissioners thought proper to con sult respecting the liberal proposition made by the French Government. We really blushed for our country on reading such evidence—we had almost added, for the littleness of the Noble Lord who was not ashamed to record the extent to which it biassed his judgment. Did it not enter into the heads of these sagacious worthies that they would have the option of refusing all letters addressed to them frr im France? Did it not occur to them that they regulate their foreign correspondence after ti a ,i r „ n fashion, either by insisting that all letters. addressed them should bear the writer's name, seal, or private mark, on the cover, or by establishing it as a rule in their respective offices, that no departure from the present system would he allowed ? Such tun not to have more than .• oice extended to them. They -prefer the present system ; let them follow it. This is all they have a right to demand, and as much as the Government ought to grant, when a more nu merous and enlightened portion of the British people entertain a different opinion. It would be a waste of time to demonstrate the great advantages of the proposition respecting the Post-office conveyance of letters made by the French Government. Thousands of English families are resi dent in France, who are prevented from corresponding with t l neir friends in this country, because their letters cannot be forwarded without expense to the receivers. There are, besides, hundreds of Englishmen in Paris who would gladly make known their distresses to their relatives here, but who are destitute of even the means of paying the postage of their letters to Dover. The present restrictions also operate against the communi cation of political and literary intelligence between the two countries. There are many profound scholars who would be happy to communicate their discoveries in science, had they - an opportunity of doing so with out- an expense which they are too often ill able to afford. Besides, no man likes to be taxed for doing a service to others. There is another point which ought not to be overlooked in this question. We are a jealous people, and never hear of a proposal made to us by foreigners without suspecting a design to over reach in some way or other. Now the proposition made by the French Post-office authorities, can excite no feeling of this sort. The additional outlay of our merchants in the shape of postage (admitting for ex ample's sake, their most insulting and illiberal objec tion) would go into the coffers of the British treasury. France would not gain a sixpence by it in the way of Revenue, or indeed in any way whatever. So much for this Report of the Commissioners o f the Post office. We now come to the Returns moved for by Mr.WALLACE. This Gentleman, as the public is well aware, was the first to grapple successfully with the flagrant abuses of the Post-office department. Be fore him no Member of the House of Commons had the moral courage to encounter a sort of Government Corporation, which almost bade defiance to the vigi lance of the Cabinet. All its affairs were conducted with such secresy, that even the Ministers of the Crown had but an imperfect knowledge of its in ternal management. Mr. WALLACE is however one of those men who are only roused to make greater exertions by powerful opposition. Sanguine, perse vering, industrious, inquisitive, and unchangeable in his resolutions, he gathers strength, and even hope, from difficulties that would overwhelm and confound ordinary men. By the copies of Reports of two other sets of Post-office Commissioners, appointed severally in the months of February and May of the present year, to inquire into the Mail-coach Con tracts, we find that Mr. WALLACE has already been the means of effecting a saving to the country to the amount of fourteen thousand pounds a-year I This, however, is a trifle to what may be saved on the expira tion of the present contracts, when the conveyance of the Mails will be left open for public competition. Among the Returns made to Parliament by the Post-office authorities, we find one, on the motion of Mr. WALLACE, detailing the amount of poundage charged by the Post-Masters of the United Kingdom upon Post-office Money Orders. It will be remem bered, that when the Hon. Gentleman moved for this Return on a former occasion, the Post-Master General refused to make it, alleging that it was carried on by private capital, and consequently was not under the control of the Post-office. The House of Com mons very properly refused to admit such an excuse, and it now turns out by the Return made, that the statement of the Post-Master-General was without the shadow of a foundation I In fact the money order Office was made a complete job, to the detriment of the public, and the injury of the national revenue. The money-order Office was first established to enable soldiers to trans mit trifling sums of money to their wives without hazard or unnecessary delay. Its advantages were sub sequently extended to the poor generally, who readily avail themselves of it. The charge for money orders is at the rate of eight pence in the pound, of which the Post-master who gives the order pockets three pence, and the Post-master who receives it three-pence more, and the remaining two-pence is handed into the General Post-office. And yet this is a branch of the public service of which the Post-office pretended to know absolutely nothing ! Now here is a wide field for the energies of such a man as Mr. 'WALLACE. Eight-pence in the pound is surely twice as much as ought to be exacted in the shape of poundage, especially as none but poor industrious individuals ever require to transmit money through such a medium. The system of dividing the profits is tantamount to an authorized system of robbing the Exchequer. This must be looked after, and care must be taken to fix the salaries of such officers, without the prospect of its increase by defrauding the revenue. But has it occcurred to Mr. WALLACE that many. trifling sums of money sent through the order office are never claimed ? Perhaps he will have the kindness to ask in his place in Parliament in what are such sums disposed of. We know that in large provincial towns they have been known to accu mulate so as to be very considerable, and in London their amount throughout the year must be enormous. We should be glad to learn what becomes of all this money ? Is it, too, reckoned among the perquisites of the Magnates of St. Martin's-le-Grand ? We must take another opportunity of calling the attention of the country to the Motions made by Mr. WALLACE with respect to the Sunday delivery of letters in London ; late editions of Sunday News papers ; together with the Post-office farce of keep ing holy the Sabbath, while the whole machinery of the Establishment—animal and mechanical—goes on without a moment's interruption. This is the great evil—the " head and front" of the whole system under which the Empire is now suffering. A radical Reform in the Post-office, must include the general delivery of letters on Sunday. We have received the whole of the French Journals of Friday and Saturday. On Thursday the President of the Court of Peers pronounced judgment on 57 of the Lyonese section of the prisoners of April. Nine were acquitted, seven condemned to transportation, two to an imprisonment of twenty years, three to fifteen years, nine to ten years, four to seven years, nineteen to five years, four to three years, and two to one year. The whole of the prisoners are jointly bound to pay the costs of the prosecution. The following important intelligence from Spain is given in a second edition of the Journal de Paris, dated yesterday A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, elated the 14th, announces that serious dis turbances had broken out at Saragossa, and that de tails were e,ipected by the next courier."

The Messager states that it is strongly reported in the political circles that there will shortly be a new creation of Peers. Six Members of the Chamber of Deputies were mentioned as to be elevated to that honour. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, AUGUST, 14. Five pc. Cents., 109 E 2fc 10c. 13c. 23c. 30c. 33e. Four per Cents., 98E 70c.

Sir,--In your paper of the 10th inst., under the head of Parliamentary Divisions, you hare the following:—" List 01 Majority of 83 (Tellers included), who voted that Mr. Pres ton be committed to Newgate for refusing to answer ques tions, &c." As I feel that this is an unintentional error, I trust you will do me the justice to contradict it at the earliest opportunity ; at the same time I think it right to tell you that you have substituted my name for that of Mr. Prentice, concerning whom the division took place.—l am, Sir, Great Yarmouth, Aug. 11. Your obedient servant, E. W. W. PRESTON, CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) The August Session commenced this morning before the usual authorities. The Calendar contains the names of 240 prisoners to be tried for the following offences :—Assault with intent to rob 1 ; with intent to violate 1.; with intent to commit a capital offence 2 ; burglary 5; cutting and maiming 2 ; embezzle ment 10; housebreaking 9 ; sending threatening letters 2 ; forgery 6; stealing from the person 36; manslaugh ter 2 ; misdemeanour 1 ; Fraud 1 ; receiving stolen goods 5 ; robbery 1 ; mutiny 2 ; larceny 150 ; possessing counter feit coin 4. Of these prisoners 40 were committed from the city, 154 from the county, 8 from Essex, 24 from Kent, and 14 from Surrey. The Grand Jury having been sworn the Recorder delivered the usual charge, which contained no point of novelty or pub lic interest. The principal part of the day was occupied in swearing in he petty jurors. TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have our usual Monday arrivals this morning, two French mails, two Ostend, and one Dutch, with several ship letters from the East, but of old dates. THE FUNDS. Owing to the dearth of information from the Continent, and more particularly from the Peninsula, a great stagnation pre vails in the speculations of both British and Foreign Funds to the present hour. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 89i for Money, and 891 for the Account, opened this morning at 89i, with little doing. Omnium 2- prem. ; Exchequer Bills 20 22 ; India Bonds 5 6 ; Bank Stock 215*. In the Foreign Market it is settling day, consequently the brokers and jobbers are busy in settling their account. To the present time we do not bear of any failures, and it is expected the account will go off well. The following are the quota tions of the Foreign Securities :—Spanish Bonds improved per Cent., owing to a report of an Express from Madrid with favourable news. Spanish left off at 47, at present they aro 47k ; Scrip, 13 discount ; Portuguese 87 ; Three per Cents., 571 It was a holiday at Paris, consequently we have no French prices, but at Tortini's the Three per Cents. were 79 20.

The proprietor of the Durham Chronicle has &en convicted at the Durham Assizes, before CV.ief Justice Tindal and a special jury, of a libel on the Hon. Mr. 'ltitvor, M.P. for that city. That gentleman having attacked Mr. Lamb ton, and afterwards explained, the Chronicle called him izs " unblushing liar and unprincipled coward." Mr. Creswell appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Blackburne for the de fendant. The Jury found the defendant guilty, but " recom mended him in the strongest manner to the mercy of the Court, because they were of opinion that the libel was pub lished under considerable provocation." To the surprise of all, Lord Abinger sentenced Mr. Vcitch to pay a fine of 1001., and to be imprisoned till it was paid. A strong sympathy was excited in Mr. Veitch's behalf ; the money was raised by subscription, and he was liberated. —Halifax Exprees. THE WILL OF THE LATE WILLIAM COBBETT. __ln consequence of family affairs the will left by the late William Cobbett, the Member for Oldham, has not been proved in due course, and a monition has been applied for and obtained in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury by Jesse Oldfield, a creditor of the deceased, in order to compel William Cobbett, the son and sole executor, to bring the will into that Court, and either to accept or renounce pro bate. This decree will be returnable on the 9th of Septem ber, and unless cause can be shown to the contrary, letters of a dministration, (with the will annexed) will be granted to Mr. Oldfield, the creditor, who will consequently be bound in sureties to administer the effects of Mr. Cobbett, instead of the son, who has been appointed solo executor. The affair has excited some interest in Doctors' Commons. The refusal of the Sutton church-rate has kindled the ire of our autocrat to such a degree, that he has already issued a discharge of the school room, occupied for upwards o f twenty years by Mr. Roome and friends, and thus thrown them on their own resources • but the town is indignant at this con duct, and is already proffering assistance to build a new one.—Nottingham Review. Owing to the difficulty . of forming a Grand Jury at the late Croydon Assizes, the Judge was under the ne cessity of fining the dcfaulters 50/. each. Many ofthe Surrey Grand and Petty Jurois coinpfain thatthey base now to "attend , the Central Criraind,Court. tAmEN TA lt SUM lit In the CommoNs', on Saturday arternoOli, 1.4bH1 RussELL read his Majesty's answer to the resolutions adopted by the House regarding Ofange Lodges.

GERMAN PAPERS. FRAYKFOET, AUG. B.—M. Ton. Naylor left ul again yes terday to return to Berlin. We understand that our senator, M. Bansa, will also return to Berlin in a few days. From this it is inferred that, our negociations for joining the com mercial union are advancing rapidly to a close, if they are not already terminated. On the other hand, it is affirmed that Franefort has not come to an agreement with England, and that the negociations arc delayed on this account ; well in formcd persons positively contradict this last statement. With respect to the soldiers of the guard who have been condemned on account of the affair of the 2d of May last year, one is sentenced to death, two to confinement in the house of Cor rection for many years: the others, about nine in number, to lighter punishments. The sentences of the first three were to be submitted to a court of review, but they have preferred re cognising the sentence of the Military tribunal, and intend to petition the Senate for a mitigation of their punishment. The soldier sentenced to death is said to be in very ill health. VIENNA, AUGUST 7.—Five per Cent Metalliques 1021 ; Four per Cents., 981-1 ; Bank Shares 1320—Allgemeine Zei tung, Aug. 12. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 22.—According to despatches from the Pasha of Larissa, the flames of rebellion have spec id over all Albania. The troops ordered from Rurnelia have ad vanced to the frontiers, but till further reinforcements arrive, no decisive operation is to be thought of. It is reported that the Pacha of Scutari has been d!ready forced to capitulate, as there was no prospect of his receiving succour. The Porte is greatly alarmed at these accounts, and the armaments in the capital are going on day and night. Lord Ponsonby intends to visit Smyrna and Samos, in the month of September. DANTZIC, JULY 30.—Fifty-one vessels (called bordings) are engaged for landing the Russian troops. The preparations for receiving them give to this city an unusual air of bustle. The garrison will give a ball to the Russian officers in the theatre, which will be transformed into a great saloon for this occasion. In other towns through which the Russians have to pass, en deavours have been made to get up balls, but with little suc cess, because the Russians are no favourites in our country. It is said to have been proposed to provide the funds for defraying the expense of a ball by a tax of 2 per cent. on the salaries of persons in office ; but they would not consent to any such thing. FRANKFOR r, Aco. 12,—Her Highness the Duchess of Saxe-Meiningen and his Highness the Hereditary Prince arrived here yesterday. VIENNA, Aun. 6.—The Turkish Ambassador Extraordinary, who has come with a letter from the Sultan to offer the con dolence of his Sovereign on the death of the Emperor Francis, and his compliments on the accession of the present Emperor, has had to-day the honour of executing his commis sion, in an audience of his Imperial Majesty in the Palace in this City, and had afterwards an audience of her Majesty the Empress.—Frankfort Papers, Aug. 13. FORTHCOMING MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.- Lord Viscount Lowther to Miss Strachan. It is said that the Marquis of Hertford will give a portion of one hundred thou sand pounds with the young lady. The Marquis of Douro will lead to the hymeneal altar in a few days the beautiful Miss Stuart, a daughter of Lord and Lady Stuart de Rothsay. Lord Gardner is about to be united to Miss Hughes, daughter of Lord Dinorben. FASIIIONABLES AT GREENWICH.--There were several parties made for Friday and Saturday last. On the first day the following leaders of the haut ton dined at the Crown and Sceptre :—The Marquis and Marchioness of Wor cester, the Countess of Chesterfield, Lady Southampton, Lord Brudenell, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Hon. George Herbert, Count D'Orsay, the Marquis and Marchion ess of Londonderry, Colonel and Mrs. Anson, Viscount Castlereagh, the Hon. R. Smith. On Friday last, as Duckham, belonging to the lace manufactory of John Heathcote, Esq., M.P., at Tiverton, was at night work therein, one of the firemen complained that something had cogged the wheel. "Ah !" said the poor fel low, "that's asign of fire." " Why Sam," said the foreman, " the gas went out just now ; what's that a sign of ?" The reply was " death," and immediately clasping his hands he fell and expired without a groan.—Bristol Mercury. The Liverpool petition was signed by 12,321 per sons, in the course of a very short time. Numbers applied to sign after the petition had been sent off, not knowing that it would be despatched so soon. BIRMINGHAM MEETING.—The High Bailiff has convened a meeting to be held on Tuesday next, for the pur pose of considering the proper steps to be adopted with re spect to the present crisis of the bill before the Lords for the Reform of Municipal Corporations. Mr. Attwood,•M. P. will be there. " Little" (says the Birmingham Journal) do they know the spirit of the men of Birmingham, or greatly do they misrepresent it, who would attribute their peaceable demeanour, or their calmness, and patient bearing of indignities from Oligarchical tyranny, to a spirit of indiffer ence to political independence, or to a forgetfulness of their triumphant exertion in favour of Parliamentary Reform. 'We have the high satisfaction of stating that the Corporation of Lincoln are about to effect a radical and most beneficial change in the constitution of the grammar school. Mr. Robert Fowler, one of the senior Aldermen, has given formal notice that, at the next Common Council, to be held very speedily, he shall move that the present system of edu cating the scholars in Latin and Greek, be exchanged for a course of plain and useful commercial education. It is quite understood that the Corporation will -come to nearly, if not entirely, a unanimous vote in favour of Alderman Fowler's proposition. This is really creditable to the Corporation, and to the rising intellect of our city. We understand the scho lars have dwindled to fewer than a score ; under the new state of things, an advancement in numbers will immediately take place, and the benefits and blessings of useful elementary in formation be thus conveyed to a wider intellectual circle.— Stamford Mercury. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The Judges for the Assizes to be held in this town arrived here this evening, about seven o'clock. The High Sheriff arrived in town yesterday, preparatory to his going out to meet the Judges on their entrance into Liverpool, and this afternoon, about five o'clock, a splendid procession left the Town Hall for that purpose, headed by the -High Sheriff in his carriage, drawn by four horses, preceded by the javelin men. He was followed by the Mayor in the state carriage, and a long line of private car riages, hackney coaches, and gentlemen on horseback. They proceeded about three miles from the town, where the proces sion met their Lordships, who entered the High Sheriff's car riage, and the procession moved on its way to St. Ann's-street, where a splendid house has been provided for the accommoda tion of their Lordships. The procession moved very slowly, and afforded the numerous spectators a fine view of the whole cortege; every place where a glimpse of the procession could be obtained was crowded to excess. There could not have been less than 20,000 spectators. The procession extended more than half a mile in leagth. The valuable Crown living of Pulliam, in the county of Norfolk, has been presented to the Rev. William Leigh, incumbent of Bilston. The perpetual curacy which the Rev. Gentleman at present holds, will of course become vacant ; and the presentation resting with the inhabitants, a severe contest is expected to take place for the appointment. A can vas is said to have already commenced.— Worcester Journal. Mr. Lindsay teacher in Dundee, formerly lecturer to the West Institution, succeeded, on the evening of Satur day the 25th ult., in obtaining a constant electric light. The light, in beauty, surpasses all others; has no smell, emits no smoke, is capable of explosion, and, not requiring air for com bustion, can be kept in sealed glass jars. It ignites without the aid of a taper, and seems peculiarly calculated for flax houses, spinning -mills, and other places containing combusti ble materials. It can be sent to any convenient distance, and the apparatus for producing it may be contained in a common chest.—Greeneck Adcertizer. TALES OF THE RAMADHAN, BY J. A. ST. Jonx, Ese.—" The resemblance of these tales to the Ara bian Nights,' " says the Literary Gazette, "is obvious ; and they preserve in a commendable.degree, and in good keeping throughout, the spirit and genius of the originals which they imitate. Occasional touches of satire do not detract from this effect, t,-1 it is not in the use of Eastern exclamations and terms, but essentially that Mr. St. John has succeeded in the task proposed to himself—a task rendered difficult and dangerous by the ready sugge , tion of a supreme standard of composition." The late Sir Robert Peel ratsti a princely income from the invention or use of a machine fo..L e manufacture of cotton, termed a "spinning Jenny ; " his tolow-appren tice, at Crayford, in Kent, often solemnly asserted tiat, in the early part of their apprenticeship, they were both en.il oye d, occasionally in trundling a wheel-barrow through the , with pails Of skimmed milk, which they sold at one penny pe. quart. This equally shows the origin and singular merit and industry of the late Baronet.—Boulogne Advertiser. EDITORIAL LANGUAGE.—The Stockport Ad vertiser thus commences one of its leaders :—" The bluster ing bully of the Manchester Guardian, is again et his dirty work." Saturday, an inquest was held at the Lion and Lamb, Drummond-crescent, St. Pancras, on the body of a man named Richard Barrett, aged 50. The deceased, in trying to catch a dog which had bitten a child, had his wrist lacerated by the animal. He took no notice of the wouw.l, but it on the following day it was evident to the surgeon who was called in that the man was suffering under an attack of hydrophobia, from the effects of which he died in dreadful agony.—Verdict, " The deceased died of hydrophobia." RARE OCCURRENCE.—There was caught, the other day, -in Mr. Young's fishing-nets, at Anclrossan, a fish 'known by the name of the Miller's Thumb. This fish was about three feet long; and .on -being cut up, in presence of many spectators on the - shore - , - there was found in its stomach two fine salmcm grilse, without a scratch on either of them,. the one weighing eight aad..the other six rou n ds.—Glasgow - Courier: • - - • - - THE MARKETS-(TiliS DA Y.) CORN EXCIIANGI?.. The arrivals of last week were good of Wheat and Oats, of other Grain arid Flour moderate. Wheat. and Oats were cheaper during the week, other Grain maintained Monday's prices. This morning there was a moderate fresh supply of Wheat, chiefly new, vvit,i much smut in the samples; of other Grain the quantity fresh up is not considerable. Fine old Wheat has supported last Monday's terms, other qualities are Is. per quarter cheaper. Ne w Wheat is full 2s. per quarter lower, and difficult to sell, on account of the smutty state of the samples. Old Barley remains as last quoted. New samples are mostly thin, but very dry and fine colour, and sell at :JOS. to 325. per quarter. Beans, Barley, and Grey Pease, from the short cinifititi here, ;ro Is. to %/s. per quarter dearer. o.ats continue to meet a very Flack sale, fine English and Scotch main tain their value, and Irish parcels are Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than this day se'nnight.
