GLOBE,.—The late "Government demonstrated that taxation had I%,aclied its utmost limit of production, and that, to endeavour to raise the revenue by addin:.; to the imposts already existing, 'would be to increase the burdens of the people, and to diminish, instead of en hancing the national inc ome . H ence t h ey p ro p ose d an en tire revision of the import duties, with a view to their equalization. This, they contended, would give an impetus to our paralyzed trade and commerce—provide employ ment for the thousands of our operative manufacturers deprived of employment, and consequently of the means or adequate subsistence—and thus meet the exigencies of the State in the only way in which they can be met, without greatly increasing the distresses and inflaming the discontents of the people. In this course, in which prudence enforced the dictates of patriotism, the late Ministers were opposed and defeated by the combined forces of the monopolists. The interests of the com munity were sacrificed at the shrine of selfishness ; and thousands of families doomed to privation, and many more to want verging on starvation, that the class-in terests might maintain a doubtful advantage. The tables before us confirm the views taken by the late Govern ment ; and, notwithstanding the rhunsy and ill-timed grattdations of the Post, will go far to convince the country that it is approaching a guipli which can only be avoided by interposing measures similar to those proposed by the 'late . Government—measures which a considerable portion of Sir Robert Peel's Government have expressly denou nce d, b u t f o r which the Premier is evidently reserving himself. To the Cabinet the an nouncement of such intentions will be fatal. =lent. STANDARD.—Where was Elliot ? This is a ques tion which, a few `weeks ago, would have received an swcra from every place in which profitable patronage could be dispensed, as numerous as those that replied to the call " Mr. Smith is wanted," in the pit at Drury lane. At present our question is more definite, " where was Elliot ?" we mean the Elliot—the man who sold the honour of the British name and the fruit of British gal lantry and skill fbr certain bags of dollars—the man placed, as it appears, I'y the late Ministry, in the chief command of the naval and military forces in the Chinese seas —where was he on the 21th of May, a clay by the way, doubly auspicious, as the birth-day of our Queen, and as the commencement of a series of victories glorious to her arms? Where was Elliot on the 24th of May, and on the three following days? As yet we believe no one is able to answer the question. All we know is, that he was not where he ought to have been if he was to exercise, as, unhappily he did exercise, the command of the expe dition. He was not with Sir 11. Gough, he was not with Sir H. Senhouse, he was not with the army or the fleet that he commanded. He was at some place so distant that a naval officer had to ride hard a whole night to carry his communications to the military and naval commanders. The gentleman in question, it is true, mistook his road ; but a man used to move by the compass could not have mistaken it for a lack niyht unless he had been under the guidance of same mischievous " Tony Lumphin," which is not pre tended. Looking to the event, one is sorry, not that he missed his way, but that he found it so soon. But three quarters of an hour later, and the British flag—the glorious red cross—would have waved over Canton —not, as the Globe tenderly sug gests, at the expense of hewing through solid columns of human flesh. We wonder where were our con- ! temporary's fine feelings when the explosion at Acre was announced—not at the expense of hewing through solid columns of human flesh—the columns would have found themselves feet soon enough—but with the advantage of disarming and dispersing some scores of thousands of enemies that have been permitted to re tire with their arms, and in perfect organization, in order to take up a more favourable position—with the greater advantage, too, of dictating terms from Canton—terms which dictated from that place must have been accepted, and must have put an end to the war. But we repeat our • question, "where was Elliot ?" Why was he not wish the expedition that he commanded? COURIER.—The more remarkable feature in these revolutionary developments in Spain consists in the cir cumstance, which would now seem to be decisively esta blished, of the league and united co-operation of the Carlists with the Christinos. Tlerein is the special peril for Espartero, for of herself it may truly be said that in Spain the partisans of Maria Christina are neither numerous nor powerful of themselves. There is no principle which theyrepresent, and consequently no com mon bond of action. They consist for the most part of men whose selfish and ambitious views have been dis appointed, or whose envy and hatred have been stimu lated by the extraordinary advancement and aggrandise ment of Espartero, the fortunate soldier, so lately their equal only, or their inferior in station, and now supreme Dictator of Spain and the Indies. These, with the in termixture of a few adherents to the ex-Regent from motives of personal regard, and few they are, for her conduct of late years was. not calculated to increase the number or retain even all those before attached, con stitute the whole of the so-called Christino party. The Moderado party, as wretchedly represented by men of tainted character and broken fortunes, or of an ambition as unprincipled as they are destitute of capacity, such as the Isturizes and Torenos, can bring no accession of strength to whatever party they espouse, but on the reverse must be an element of weakness and discou ragement, so odious have they rendered them selves in the eyes of the whole nation by their former career of corrupt misgovernment or scandalous betrayal of principle. The case is widely different with the Carlists and the Clergy, embodied privately and publicly as a united compact mass all over the kingdom, imbued with the same convictions, animated for contest by the same passions, prejudices, and interests, with wrongs to revenge, rout to retrieve, and former ascend ancy to regain. Row this most powerful of all Spanish parties may have been beguiled into strict alliance with former deadly foes, it i s h ar dl y necessary to inquire, for, in truth, it is no uncommon event in the history of con tending parties and civil warfare to find ancient foes cumUniag to sink mutual jealousies and disputes, and makingraint-head against the one irresistible power by whichlealle:nad been vanqu i shed, and were forcibly - held iuthjection. It is, however, impossible not to suspect the existence of Fr enc h agency and intrigue inthe o t, this singular combi nat i on, the quid pro qua of whichk r ma y consist in a pre concerted match between one of the sons of Louis Philippe and the young-Queen Isabella, by which the favourite saying of Louis XIV. that a plus de Pyrennees, might more truly be rendered a reality than even in the days of the Grand Monar qu or. it.may be , that t h e di sputed rights of succession are; to be merged and amakamated hi the marriage of the eldest son oil D ow .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. A person named APNarnara, in whose name an omni bus is registered, was summoned by the so'icitor to the Stamp-office for having carried more pass- ngers than he was allowed. The defendant had been summoned, but did not appear, on account of which it was supposed there was an endeavour to evade the penalty, by putting forward another person as the party who hired and paid the coachman. A policeman stated he saw seventeen passengers, three of them children, but (to the best of his belief) above eight years of age. • The Solicitor said, that two children under seven reckoned as one person only, and the penalty was 51. for every passenger above the authorised number. TileLonn — MAYou. ELECT said, that the case was a bad one, and that he should inflict the penalty of 51. upon the defendant, and no doubt the gentleman who attended from the Stamp•office would know how to get the amount. Two notorious fellows, who at present go by the names of Shaw and TVathins, and who have been con victed of passing bad money on former occasions, were seen by a policeman to enter the shop of Mr. Abraham, a tobacconist. When they came out the policeman spoke to Mrs. Abrahams, and ascertained that they had passed a bad half-crown, for which she had %tumid, in change, 2s. 4s. He succeeded in taking them into custody, and, upon bringing them back to the shop, Watkins snatched the half-crown from Mrs. Abraham's hand, and swal lowed it. The policeman endeav,,ured to prevent him, but was not successful. • Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, did not attend, upon which the prisoner said, the solicitor knew there was no case against them, since no bad money was found. Mr. Hobler intimated that there was a defect in the law against passing bad coin, by which many infamous fellows escaped. The LORD - MAYOR ELECT said that he should send for Mr. Powell, and consult with him upon the subject of prosecuting these prisoners, for it was clear, from the whole of their conduct, that they were perfectly aware of the money being bad, and the prisoners certainly should not easily get out of his hands. They were both remanded. GUILDHALL. TVilliam Barrett, a cab-driver, Iran charged on suspi cion of stealing a silver watch and gold guard chain, value 201. The complainant, who it appeared resides at Brixton, stated that he hired the defendant's cab on Tuesday even ing, to take him to 23, Union-street, Moorfields, where he intended to pass the night, and ordered him to call for him at seven o'clock the followinz morning; the man came at that hour, and was admitted to his bed-room, but he declined then getting up, and told him to return in two hours ; the defendant did so, but he was not will ing to leave his pillow, and directed him to come again in another two hours. This he did not do; and when at last, with reluctance, be left the bed, he missed the watch, which he had deposited on the table. He added that nothing suspicious was found at the prisoner's lodg ing, and the watch had been traced. Tine ALDERNIN inquired if the complainant took any person with him to the house ? The complainant nodded The ALDERMAN asked if it was a lady ? He nodded assent again. The ALDEMIAN wished to know if she was of a cer t./An class ? The gentleman, mandaria•like, nodded as , sent once more. The ALDERMAN inquired if he was a married man ? Again, with a nod, he acknowledged he was a Benedict. And are you not ashamed, said the ALDERMAN, of coming here with a story of having passed the night and half the - day with a common prostitute ?In such a house strangers might enter your room while you were asleep. or your attention is engrossed. The gentleman pleaded wine, and said, as he saw et) chance of recovering his wrtch, and was going into the country, he did not wish to proceed with the matter. The servant at the house said she saw the watch safe at seven o'clock, but not afterwards. The ALDERMAN thought the evidence too weak to aff.x..t the defendant, and discharged him. POLICE COMMITTEE, GUILDHALL. The City Police still continue their harrassing pro ceedings against the Licensed Victuallers, in respect of " harbouring notoriously bad characters." Charles Vidler, oc the Three Tuns, Bridgewater-gardens, was summoned for having had 60M43 prostitutes in his house, knowing them to be such. The case was proved against him, but he assured the Alderman that he was not desi rous of harbouring characters, although from li v i ng i n a low neighbourhood he felt himself obliged to receive any person who conducted themselves properly. The Alder mar. advised the policeman to go and tell Mr. Vidler wh :never he saw bad characters go into the house, as he could not know them all. It was the policeman's business t'o take the persons of bad character into custody, if they did not behave themselves properly. The Alderman thought lb. case was not perfect, and it was dismissed. Daniel Parker was summoners for a similar offence. He contended strongly that he was not to refuse a woman a pint of porter because shy, was a prostitute.. Alderman LUCAS said he would caution Mr. Parker not to do 20 in future, and convicted him in a penalty of 40s.—Notice of appeal was immediately given. BOW-STREET. W. Traill, a pawnbroker in the Edgeware-road, was brought up on a warrant, charged with refufing to deli ver up a silver watch which had been illegally pledged at his shop Yor 10s. The defendant had received three summonses commanding him to attend, but having re fused to do so, a warrant was issued for his apprehen sion, which being put into execution on Friday night, he was lodged in the cells until this morning. Maurice Bernard, a dealer in curiosities, stated that some weeks past he had occasion to get his watch re paired, and for that purpose he left it with a person named John Vincent, who then kept a watchmaker's shop in Drury-lane. A few days after he discovered that Vincent had absconded, taking with him his pro perty, and other articles of a similar description which had been left with him to repair, and upon being charged at this office with the offence, he was ordered to be sent to bard labour for three months. Witness having as certained that the watch in question had been pawned e.t the shop of the defendant, lost no time in applying to him for its restoration, but he refused to comply unless he was repaid the entire amonnt for which it had been pawned, together with the interest arising upon it. Mr. JARDINE inquired of the defendant for any reason he could assign for not restoring the property to the complainant ?—The defendant replied that there had been no prosecution or conviction of the person who had actually pawned the property in his possession. The watch was pledged by a man named Jones, in Vincent's kr:JARDINE said it was not necessary. By the 27th section of the Metropolitan Police Act it was enacted, " That if any goods shall be stolen or unlawfully ob tained from any person, or being lawfully obtained, shall be unlawfully deposited, pawned, pledged, sold, or exchanged, and conAphint shall be made thereof to any Magistrates, that each goods are in the possession of any broker, dealer in marine stores, or other dealer in second-hand ptnperty, or any person who shall have advanced mor.ey upon the credit of such goods, within the Metropolitan Police District, it shall b e l aw f u l f or such . 1 1'..gistrates to issue a summons or warrant for the appearance of such broker or dealer, and for the pro dtraion of the goods, and to order such goods to be de 'Avered up to the owner, either without any payment, or upon paymeut of such sum, and at such time, as the Magistrate shall think fit ; and every broker, &c., who being so ordered shall refuse to deliver up the goods, or who shall dispose of or make away with the same, after notice that such goods were stolen or unlawfully ob tained, shall forfeit to the owner of the goods the full value thereof, to be declared by the Magistrates." He (Mr. Jardine) was surprised that the defendant had not attended before, for it was well known to every pawnbroker in town that such was the effect of the law. The defendant said he had sent his assistant to answer the charge when he received the summons. Mr. JARDINE considered that the complainant was entitled to the costs of the entire proceedings. The defendant said such a circumstance had never occured to him before, and he thought he was not transgressing the law, as the party who had pawned the article had not been convicted. Mr. JARDINE said that in point of fact it was not ne cessary for the person to be convicted. De was not willing to take any severe measures against the defend- ant, but he was bound to say that he never know auy pawnbroker in the neighbourhood of this court refuse to attend his summons. The defendant then agreed to give up the property. The complainant begged to remind the Magistrate that he •had been put to considerable expense, for he had paid for fait days 2s. 6d. each clay to a Fe: son for at tending to his business in his absence, and he had been twice to the'defendant's house in a cab, besides the costs of the summons.. Mr. JAaraNi instantly directed the property to be de livered up, upon the third part of the money upon which it had been pawned, being restored to the defendant, and he (defendant) should pay the 10s. as costs to the com plainant. The defendant agreed to comply with the order of the Court, and he was discharged. Q U EEN -SQUARE. Ann Burton, late a nursery -maid in the service of G. Palmer, Esq., M.P., 39, Chesharn-place, was charged with having cruelly ill-treated and beaten R. C. Palmer, an infant two years of age. The MAGISTRATE told the defendant that Mr. Palmer did not wish to punish her provided she acknowledged her error, and promised not to offend in such a manner again, but had brought her there to show her how wrong ' it was for persons in her position to use violence towards an infant. The defendant begged the case to be proceeded ' with, as she had not injured the infant, and others had the care of ir, as well as herself. " Besides," added the defendant, "it is necessary that children should b e corrected." After much proper r:buke from the l‘ragi s t rate, and sereral stupid, though impertinent, observations by the dcfendant, _ . Augusta Stanley proved that the infant had been treated ,with violence by the defendant ; and Mr. Pal mer then stated that on Sunday last he found thq child covered with bruises, and with some fuller's earth in its ear to allay inflammation ; he accordingly called the defendant into the parlour after afternoon prayers, and spoke to her as to the impropriety of her conduct ; but she denied the fact, said "Prove it," and that she could neither be hanged nor drowned for her conduct, whatever it might have been. He frequently offered to forgive the fault if she would acknowledge herself in the wrong ; but she would not do so, and he therefore dis charged her and took the present proceedings. The Magistrate examined the child, which still ex hibited the marks of the fingers. The defendant made a rambling defence, but did not mend her case ; and The MAGISTRATE told her, that but for the express wish of Mr. Palmer, he would inflict the highest penalty• of 51., but to oblige him he would only fine her 10s. STROKE AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. We are glad to be able to report 'that the masonry work on this great undertaking is partially resumed. , On Friday sixteen men, brought by Mr: Alien out of Gloucestershire, entered the works by the gate in Pa lace-yard without molestation from the Unionists, a great number of whom had collected. A body of police were present, and had a seasonable influence upon them; and all they did was pass rough jukes upon those who entered ; but yesterday one man entered and took up his bench again. One man who had struck in common cause with his fellow workmen had the spirit to recom mence his work in defiance of the threats held out if he did so. This man was not privately solicited ; but, in a letter which he addressed to the foreman on a previous day, he gives his motives for coming back, which are, in substance, that he, with many others, was averse to the strike . from the first, and that when Mr. Jackson, the builder, addressed a meeting of the masons he was one of those who held up his hand in his (the foreman's) behalf. For doing this be had since lived the life of a dog. He had worked at Deptford, but every annoyance that human malevolence could invent he was subjected to, and he left his employ with the assurance, not from one mouth, but many, that, he was "a marked man." The ensuing week will prove whether others will have the moral courage to follow his example. It is expected by the contractors that a considerable accession to the number already employed will soon take place, and there is very little doubt of the full comple ment being obtained in a very short space of time. It has been stated in some of the Daily Papers that the con tractors had but.a month allowed them to procure fresh workmen, but this is altogether untrue. No definitive time was fixed upon, but they (the contractors) had any reasonable time granted them they required. We have been informed that forty -eight masons have been employed (and are paid handsomely for their ser vices) to distribute themselves in small bodies and take their stations at each of the railway terminuses, as also at the steam-packet wharfs, to stop and lead away all masons who might come up from the country to obtain work at the new Houses of Parliament. Now, without commenting upon the legality or illegality of this stop, or, to say the least of it, its extreme absurdity, we will call the attention of the masons to this fact, and let them one and all consider it deeply. The contractors have received letters from continental firms, who offer to ob tain, and forward immediately, if required, any number of experienced workmen from France, Belgium, and Germany, should there be a difficulty in getting together a sufficient number of native workmen. The contractors will defer acting upon this proposal to the latest moment, upon the principle that a build ing intended for the holding of British legislative assemblies should bo erected, and that entirely, by Beitish. workmen ; but should they be driven to this step, what will be the consequence ? Foreign work mens' mouths will be fed, whilst the English, the mis guided English workman, will have the unenviable choke of the open street or the workhouse to lay his head in. It is well known to those men, though they have not the candour to admit it, that the labour is not equal to the application for it ; therefore, if the step already alluded to is taken, what can be the result but starvation ? We are informed that the contractors can readily obtain per mission, if it should be their wish, to at once cover in the whole of the works for the winter, the building being in that state of forwardness to warrant their taking such a step. Messrs. Grissel and Peto de not, however, con sider it likely they will have to resort to such means, from the circumstance of their having received so many assurances from the country of the intention of workmen to proceed to London ; and it is fully expected that ere another month is passed there will be far more masons in London than are required.—Sunday Paper.

On Saturday a tOendi4 entertainment was given by the Ilight ion. the Lord Mayor to her Majesty's Mini sters.- The entertainment was considered a private one, and the Lord Mayor accordingly limited the invitations to meet the members of the Administration to his brethren of the Court of Aldermen and a few of his most intimate friends. We noticed amongst the company Lady Peel and Miss Best, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Wham- . cliffe, the Earl of Lincoln, Lord Haddington, Earl of Ripon, Sir James Graham, Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Stanley, Mr. Goulburn, Sir George Murray, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Edward Knatchbull, the Hon. E. Gladstone, Mr. George Dawson Darner, Sir Geo. Clerk, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Captain Seymour, Sir Lowry Cole, the Hon. William Gordon, Mr. Alexander Pringle, Mr. John Young, Mr. Joseph Jones, Mr. Hughes Hughes, tl!e Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Laurie, Mr. Cornelius Wilson, Mr. Thomas John son, Mr. Charles ;Johnson, Mr. Weston, Dr. &ebbing. Mr. John Freeman, Sir James Shaw, Mr. Masterman, M.P. ; Alderman Lucas, Alderman Thonv i eson, M.P. for the county of Westmoreland, Sir John Key, Sir Peter Laurie, Cowan, Humphery, M.P. for South wark, Farebrother, John Johnson, Gibbs, Sir George Carrol, Farncomb, Wilson, Thomas Wood, Brown, and the Lord Mayor elect. There•were about 60 present. The LORD MAYOR, when the cloth was removed, pro posed, " The health of her Majesty, Queen Victoria," under whose mild and auspicious reign he trusted the country would enjoy the greatest blessings. The toast was drunk with applause. His 'Lonnstur next proposed, "The health of Queen Adelaide." The LORD MAYOR then proposed, " The healths of Prince Albert, the Princess Royal, and the rest of the Royal Family."—(Applause.) The L9RD MAeort then rose to propose, "The health of Sir Robert Peel and her Majesty's Ministers."—. (Cheers.) His Lordship considered it a very great pri vilege that the citizens of London were permitted to have the honour of entertaining the Ministers of the Crown, and it was a most gratifying thing to him to see so many Members of the Administration present. It was also a consolation to know that her Majesty's Min isters were men experienced in the art of governing.— (Cheers.) He was most happy to see them in power, and long might they remain. —(Loud cheering.) Sir R. PEEL rose in his own behalf; and on behalf of the other Members of her Majesty's Government, to re turn their most grateful and respectful acknowledgments for the compliments the company had been pleased to pay them. He was not only authorised to return thanks fur those Members of the Government who were present, hut also for those absent, and to express the deep re gret of the latter that they were prevented from having the honour of personally thanking the distinguished com pany fur the compliment e —(Chcers.) One Noble and Illustrhms Member of the Government—(Cheers)—would certainly have been present that day if he had not re ceived a command from her Majesty to attend at Wind sor.—(Cheers.) He (Sir R. Peel) was convinced that no thing but that command would have prevented the Noble Duke from accepting the invitation of the Chief Magis trate of the City of London.—(Cheers.) Her Majesty's Government were deeply impressed with the importance of the favourable opinion of the City of London, and he trusted that their exertions for the national benefit would make them possess and deserve the confidence of the great community of which the municipal body was the fit re presentative.—(Cheers.) He hoped that the Adminis tration would be successful in their efforts for the public good. He wished more strongly than by the expression of thanks to testify the feelings of himself and his col leagues on this occasion, and he could not do it more agreeably to himself than by proposing "The Health of the Lord Mayor of London."—(Loud cheers.) He had had the honour of proposing that toast upon the entrance of his Lordship upon his high office, and of alluding to the incident of his Lordship's resolute conduct when a boy, only fourteen years of age, in shutting the gates of Chri!e's Hospital against an infuriated mob, as ominous of the firm and resolute manner in which he had acted in defence of the law in the after transactions of his life.— (Cheers.) In the name of himself and his colleagues, he proposed " The Health of the Lord Mayor, and that long life and happiness might attend him." The toast was drunk with much enthusiasm. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said that he entered upon the office with doubt upon his mind as to his ability to perform the duties effectively ; but the important assistance he had received from his brother magistrates had made his task an easy one comparatively with his approhensions.—(Cheers.) His Lordship then proposed, " The Army and Navy."—(Loud cheers.) Lord HADDINGTON returned thanks upon the part of the service to which he had the honour to belong. Op portunities had of late years very seldom presented them selves for the exertions of the naval strength of this coun try, but whenever any opportunity did present itself, the British seaman discharged his duty to the admiration of the world.—(Cheers). It was scarcely necessary to ad vert to the recent occurrences on the coast of Syria,where proofs were given under the able command of Sir Robert Stopford of the bravery and skill of the service, and where the seamen showed that, whether ashore or afloat, they were ready to spill their blood for their country. —(Loud cheers.) If the necessities of the country re quired that theßritish navy should again sweep the seas, he was convinced that the same spirit, energy, and valour would be exhibited.--(Loud cheers,) Lord WHARNCLIFFE proposed the health of the Lady Mayoress. • The LORD Mayon returned thanks, and expressed her Ladyship's gratitude for the honour done her by the attendance of so n umero us a body of her Majeety s Mi nisters. ills Lordship next proposed the health of the Lord Mayor Elect.—(Cheers.) Alderman PIaTE returned thanks in a few expressive words. He had been placed by the livery of London in a situation which would soon introduce him to the chair which the Lord Mayor so ably filled, and he should eh deareue to follow so admirable an example.— (Cheer's.) Sir C. S. HUNTF,a, in returning thanks for the toast of the aldermen who had passed the chair, said that they had been looking forward to the incident they now wit nessed, in seeing the present men in power with great anxiety.—(lmmense cheering.) • It was now thirty years since he had sat in the chair which was so well filled by the Lord Mayor, and it delighted him to see the return of the good old feeling of the country.—(Cheers.) He hailed the prosperous calm which the nation was about to enjoy, after the storm to which it had been so long exposed, and, as he was now the father of the City, he begged leave, in the name of his young gentlemen, to return thinks for the very distinguished honour. Alderman T. WOOD returned 'thanks for the toast of " The Aldermen below the Chair." He trusted, that after the great struggle which had taken place, peace and happiness would pervade the land. The LORD Myron. then rose to propose the health of the Duke of Wellington, which he knew the company would not think of separating without doing honour to. —(Great cheering.) His LORDSHIP said he felt great pleasure in proposing " The Representatives of the City.' Mr. :YIASTERMAN, M.P., returned thanks. He assured the company, that ; having been placed by the consti tuency in the proud situation of one of their reprzsentn fives, he should do all in his power to merit their confi dence.—(Cheers.) Ire could not help saying that he re joiced in being in Parliament time enough to form one of the glorious majority of 91 that voted a denial of confi dence in the then existing ik.ininistration,—(ltrtmense cheering.) He rejoiced, too, that her Mtkiesty hail ac commodated her feelings to what he really believed to be the sincere wish of the nation at large,.— (Great cheers.) The LORD MaToa proposed the Bheriff.s Mr. Magnay and Mr. Rogers, and the former returned thanks. The company began to move away at half-past ten, and at eleven the last carriage left the door. ------- A MELANCHOLY ACCtrokleteee-TMI At& DROWNED.—On Thursday fetettOtti, a fishing-boat from Broughty Ferry, while coming up the rim., was upset at a short distartet from the harbour, by sudden squalls of wind, Four men, William and George Gaul s AleXender Lorimer, and John Jonaldson, were within her at the time.

At the moment of the accident, a boat, with Captain Hale on board, be= longing to the American ship Mariposa, passed within a short cable-length of the drowning men ; and according to the account of the survivors, although those on board the American boat saw tho accident, and must have Ileard the cries for assistance, Captain Hale left the tin ' fortunate men to the i r fate. Captain Hale addressed e letter to the Dundee Advertiser, stating that he tried to save the unfortunate men, but his vessel was so heavily laden, that had he persevered she would have been swamped.—Dundee Chronicle. On Saturday at the lirentford Petty Sessions, Thomas Bulpit was brought up before George Baillie, Esq., and Charles Turner, Esq., the sitting Magistrates, for the fourth time, to be examined on a charge of cutting and wounding., with intent to kill, Mr. James Peto, a farmer, residing at Sutton, near Hounslow. It appeared that on the 27th of August la:st the prisoner, having been reapir ' r for 21 r . P eto , was to ld t h a t h e s h ou ld b e p a id on the following morning, in consequences of a dispute as to the amount. The prisoner said he would not leave the spot, and high words ensued, upon which the prisoner, raising a large hot, swore he would knockMr.Petci s brains out. Mr. Peto ran in and closed with him ; they both fell, and upon assistance coining' Mr. Peto rose up and iestantly exclaimed that the prisoner had struck him with a reaping -hook. The blood was then flowing from a most severe wound in the leg. Since that time Mr. Peto has been lying in a most dangerous state, and is not yet out of danger ; the risoner, therefore, has been for the present remanded. sir. Peto's depositions have been taken, and it' he should not' be able to attend on the 23d instant, the case would be fully gone into, and the pri soner will bo committed to Newk, , ate for trial on the capital charge at the sessions of the Central Criminal Court. The prisoner is a most determined and ferocious character, and has before been in custody for biting off a man's ear at Ealing. On another occasion he also bit a man's eye nearly out, and likewise nearly decapi tated another with a scythe.

Podmore Cottage, Higher Ardwiek, Manchester, Bth 0,4., 1841. SlR—The Parliamentary proee .dings of W , Ancrday, with reference to the petition from the people of Tam. worth to the Queen, have given additional interest to the fact that upwards of two-thirds of the entire adult population of the rotten electoral borough of the Pre mier have prayed the Sovereign to interpose between suffering millions, and a few thousands of heartless and reckless bread-taxers. I had the honour of originatirg, that petition at the largest meeting which had ever been held in that bo rough, and at which meeting (immediately after the re cent election) such petition was unanimously adopted. When, however, anxious to test the popularity of Sir Robert Peel in his own locality, I announced that the petition would lie for signature the greeter portion of the ensuing day, I was interrupted by a poor man in the crowd, who exclahned—" Many dare not sign if, as they would be persecuted until driven out of the town." Nevertheless, the document lay for signature at the houses of six of the inhabitenti, and within twelve hours received the names of 2,058 adults! On receiving the petition, for presentation to the Qicen, Sir James Graham, as Home Secretary, re mitted it to the Mayor of Taneworth, for inquiry into the validity of the signatures. Would Sir J. Graham have taken such step if the petition had prayed the Queen to euppert the views of the bread-taxing admi nistration? If nor, the course adopted was a gratuitous insult to the starving masses, and an official subservi oncy to a salish and factious oligarchy. We have been told over and over again that there shad be no inquiry into the condition of the oppressed and plundered people—that there is not t via ler inves tigation. Yet the velidity of the signatures to the free trade petition from Tamworth was worthy inquiry—ic restigatioa was necessary—end time seas found for the business. But to whom was the (lets' of inquiring as signed, and bow was it discharge!? Was it desired Oast the investigation should be impartially conductei, or fail) , and fairly prcsecuted ? We shall see. The Mayor of Tamworth is a notorious partisan of Sir Robert Peel. Shortly previous to the recent elec tion (at which he was the returning officer), this func tionary signed an address to the P, emier, advising him not to inconvenience himself by a personal attendance on that occasion, and pledging his utmost efforts to pro mote and secure the Right lion. Baronet's re-election. It is to this political partisan that Sir James Graham refers the adverse petition of the inhabitants of Tana worth. The partiee concerned in obtaining or receiving the signatures were net consulted on the subject, nor ever apprised of the investigation. They were earnestly desirous of a searching inquiry, so that it hod been im partially conducted, and they are fully prepared to establish the substantial Ihet, that the petition has been sign ed by more than two-thirds of all the adults within the electoral borough ; but a real inquiry was not wanted either by the Mester Minister nr the Man Mi nister, and the Mayor of Tamworth was just the sort of tool with which to work out their purposes ; at least they seam to have so considered him. Having repaired to Tamworth on hearing a rumour of this most unprecedented proceeding of the Home Secretary, I am not ignorant of the mean and dastardly conduct of the various agents of Sir Robert with re ference to this matter, although it can scarcely be ex pected that I should be prepared with answers to, or explanations of, the particular statements embodied ii . tae letter of the Mayor to Sir Junes Graham. Ad mitting that some may have signed the petition at more than one place, this is an accident to which such documents are always liable, and prevee at any rate the zeal (unwise and mischievous ce , tainly) with which some of the Premier's ve'ghhours oppose his less wise and more mischieveus ailv)eaey of a bread aetx and in difference to the necessities of the people ; I know the Peelitee at Tamworth have charged as a forgery one case in which the daughter signed for her father under his direction. I know of another case where a poor man was charged with the offence of signing his name by the relieving officer, and who denied having done so lest his pauper alloa acre should he stepped, in etently repaired to the party who had charge of the sheet bearieg his name, to implore his silence on the subject. If any of the petitioners he in gaol (and I doubt the fact from my knowledge of the time-serving enemies of the parties), it is possible that the bread tax hoe driven teem to the catching of a hare, and that the game laws of the bread-taxers have made a crime of the necessity they had created ; and, in which case, it is not unlikely that the bereaved and hungered wife may have perpetrated the pious fraud in the mother's anxiety to obtain more bread for ber orphaned little ones. But I leave this disgusting proceeding of Sir Ro bert Peel, Sir James Graham, and the Mayor and Re lieving Officer of Tamworth, for the present, that I tray call public attention to one or two circumstances not less atrocious and directly connected with the matter in question, viz., the petition to the Queen. One of the six small tradesmen to whom the sheets were entrusted for signature was a shoemaker, named Clement. For thirty years he has been the paid singer at Tamworth church, and from this situation the Vicar has discharged him—refusing to assign other reason than that he was dissatisfied with his conduct ! There is in Tamworth a Grammar School, founded by Sir Robert's father, for tho gratuitous education of the children of the inhabitants so long as a Peel shalt represent the borough ; and I am credibly informed that the master (Savage by name, and, as it should seem, servile by nature), informed the boys a few days sine© that he had received a letter from the Prime Minister, ordering him to discharge the children of all those who had signed the petition ! The way being thus prepared, the Relieving Officer and his colleagues went round to the patents of the children to " inquire" if they had signed that important document. And the public may believe that some disclaimers were the con sequence. Quern deus volt perdere prius dementat. And when the Premier and Home Secretary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland are driven to shifty expedients and heartless persecution such as I have here hurriedly attempted to describe, I cannot but anticipate the speedy destruction of our common elierny, and the otettein and early repeal (how is comparatively immaterial) of the itibutnac, uu-Chris. tian, and iniquitous bread-tax. Should the threats of the Peelite bread-taxers of Tamworth be executed upon the poor inhat;:!anti o f that place, I shall unhesitatingly appeal to public sync: pithy in their protection ; and in the hope that the publicity of such determination may arrest the uplifted aria of the oppressor, I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, your obliged and humble servant, JAMES ACLAND. P.S. The reuse' of Sir James Graham, last night, to state upon whose authority he returned the petition to Tarcworth, was, I doubt not, extremely prudent on his part ; as the chapter of accidents may relieve him from such necessity. At rll events, the people can better af ford to wait five months in this respect than in th at of the bread-loaf. rLORADA. (From the National Intelligeneor.) tXTRACT OF A tETTIM FROM AN OFFICER t? FLORIDA. In my last hurrted note to you I mentioned having witnessed a scene here a faw days before, which, in my humble jtidgentint ; put Vie tamed story of Damon and Pythias quite in the shade. I will now give you sumo of the particulars A piety 6f Indiani Wei reeentlY disedvefed by soth of our troops, who succeeded in capturing threti at their warriors ; the rest of the party, consisting of three men, and women ; and children; numbering in all about {L d, The daptivei were hi-Might to this place, where they were interrogated by the Colonel (Colonel Worth)l daring Which it *as diseoiered that two of them had been concerned in killing and bidding d mdil tidef some time in March last. They were told that for this cruel act of theirs, they would be hung in fifteen days, unless within that . time the rest of their people should come in, l i ltcy were then placed in chains ; and were permitted to acrid nut the third man of their patty ; with a talk, to bring ir. the rest of their fietTin f while they were committed to the guard. The man thus sent out returned in five days, bringing with him a warrior by by the !lathe or 11)late rodeo, and softie women and children, among whom were the mother and glitef of one of the prisoners, whose name is TAM Hadjo; The scene which to!lows may be drittatiSeci thiis Scene, an open court in front of the Commanding Offices quarter-4ndians are discovered seated under the trees, among them Holate Fixico (Pythias) on the grass, in ele Indian posture—Talof Hadjo (Damon) in chains, on a bench, his h ea d resting against the truck of a tree, looking towards the heavens, with a countenance indicative of resignation—his mother and sister lying upon the grass at his feet, the mother weer. ing at the fate which awaits her son—the Colimal and other officers are discovered at a distance from the group of Indians. - Colonel, to Hohte Ex'co—Wher., - , are the rest of the people sent for ? liehle—They are 3epa7.00.1, and caleot be found. Your troops bare scattered then), and they have taken different paths. Colonel—Know you not that unless they aro brought in, those men (pointing to the prisoners) win he hung ? —(A pause. The Indians disconsolate, but apparently resigned.) If I send you out for the people will you h. ins them in, in time to rave their lives ? Ilellte=—They have goon off, and I know not wl:ere to look for them. Like the frightened deer, they have fled at the presence of your troops. Colonel —lndian can find Indian. If they are not here in ten days, these men will surely die. Holate—Tne track of the Indian is covered ; his path is hidden ; and cannot be found in ten suns. Colonel to Ta!of—Have von a wife ? 'folof--My wife and child are with the people. I ish them here that I may take leav e o f th em hef . nrc I die. Colonel--Do you love your wife and child? Talof—The clog ig fond of its kind, and I love my own blood. Colonel—Could you find the people that are out ? Talof—They are scattered and may not be found. Colonel—Do ou deiire your freedom ? Talof—l see the pelple going to and fro, and wish t , ) be with them. lam tired of my ebgins. Colonel.—lf I rein Ise you will you bring in the people within the time fixed ? . _ Talof—You will nit trust me. Yet I would try. Colonel—lf Holate Fixico will consent to teke your chains and be hung in your place if you should not re turn, you may go.—(A. long pause. "LILA continues throughout the rceno with his eyes fixed on the heavens —his mother and sister now cast imploring locks to wards Holate, who, during the last few questions, has struggled to maintain his composure, evincing, by the heaving of his breast and his gapping, as though the rope was already about his neck, that he is ill at ease— all eyes are turned towards him—he recovers, and, with the utmost composure and firmness replies—) Holate—l have nn wife, or child, or motile-. It is more fit that he should live than I. I consent to take his chains, and abide his fate. Let him go. Colonel—Be it so. But do not deceive yourselves. So sure as Talof Hadjo brings not in the people within ten days Holate dies the death of a dog. With the utmost solemnity the two Indians were then marched to the armory where their chains were transferred, and in fifteen minutes after Tainf was on his journey. Yesterday a messenger arrived brieging intelligence that Talof Hadjo was on his way in, with his people, and might be expected here to morrow or next. day. Teem is more truth than poetry in the fore go:eg. And what 'cakes it more meat kable, when compared with the story of Damon and Pythias is, that in one case a strong and devoted friendship ex isted between the parties, while in thc other there ap pears no such feeling, but the sacrifice offered by Fichte' arose from a purely noble and disinterested mo tve ; a desire tor save the life of one whom he coosi dvred of more consequence than himself. Pythias pieced the utmost faith in the promise of his fciend to return at the appointed time. The noble Holate had no such assurance given him. On the contrary, he well knew it was barely probable that Talof would return with his people to save his life. TSE HARVEST-PROSPECTS OF THE COUNTRY. Tile harvest is now generally secured, with the ex ception, perhaps, of a few out-lying patchts of oats in SeotLiad and the north of England and Irclind, and from the " thrashing out: . which has already t:lcon place, data have been obtaned to form a tolerable no tion of its general results. The following contains the most precise and authentic information we can at pre sent meet with : THE WHEAT Crop.—The Bankers' Circular con'f, tains an elaborate and careful calculation of Vie produce of the present harvest, in which the writer arrives at the I.llexing results :—That, as compared with the harvest for 1840, the present harvest will be deficient in the average quantity of wheat. and its quality for yielding good fl3ur, equal to 2,400,000 quarters. To meet this enormous failing off, a greatly increased quantity of land has this year been brought into wheat cultivation in Eeeland, Scotland, and Ireland, yielding an increase of 1,050,000 quarters more than 18W. Added to this 000,0(10 quarters of foreign corn have this year been liberated more than last year, leaving the ultimate defi ciency 800,000 quarters, and no more. Then, the pre see.t harvest is fully a fortnight later than the harvest of lart year, so that the supply has not to extend over so :ong a period of consumption, and the writer, therefore, concludes that there is now in the kingdom a sufficient supply until the Ist of October, 1842. The Mark Line Express of Monday says : " Teough the utmost exertions were used by farmers in all parts of the country to get in the remainder of their crop during the fi to weather experienced the first three weeks in September, sonic quantity of corn was still abroad alien ta return of rain interrupted their la beers ; indeed, it appears from the reports which have reael'el us since our last, that there is more grain re maining in the fields in some of the backward districts than we were disposed to believe, and as the weather has this week been of a very unfavourable nature, we fear that serious injury has been done. The humid state of the atmosphere is likewise greatly deteriorating the condition of the corn in stack, and prevents farmers thrashing out freely. We sincerely trust, therefore, that the change which has taken place to-day (the wea ther having been bright and clear since last night) may continue. The accounts received respecting the yield of wheat are increasingly unfavourable, and though it is certain that a larger breadth of ground was under this grain than was ever known before, the total produce will prove decidedly short of an usual average ; in most of the best wheat-growing counties the deficiency per acre is estimated at one eighth, and in less favoured districts the falling eff will, we fear, prove still greater. Independent of the actual loss in measure, the inferio rity of the quality, and the difference in weight (the samples which have hitherto appeared averaging three to four pounds par bushel less than the produce of 1840) will materially add to the total deficiency ; not• withstanding, therefore, the large quantity of foreign wheat which has just been cleared for home consump tion,- it is probable that a further ccnsiderable impor tation will be required before the autumn of 1842, and many weli-inforrued parties expect to see a !ow duty early in spring. The trade in wheat has maintained a very firm ,tone at the principal provincial markets held during the week, but no change of importance has occurred in prices." Tee following is a copy of the Monthly Circular, issued on Thursday by the Messrs. Sturge, of Bir mingham " Birmingham, 10th month, 6th. During the latter part of the past month, the weather was unfavourable for securing the late harvest; and, although in the midland counties little remains out, except beans, there is yet a considerable quantity unse cured, not only in the north of England, Scotland, and Ireland, but on the hills in Wales, and some of the western counties of England. " The yield of the - new crop is, without exception, more or less complained of, and we believe it to be a much worse produce than last year, probably fully one fifth below an average per acre ; and, as the weight and quality are also inferior, there will be a still greater de ficiency in the produce _of flour from it. 1,900,000 quarters of wheat and flour were liberated at the Is. duty, and we believe at least 2,000,000 quarters more will be freed at from 2e. Bd. to 10s. Bd. per enerter, being the greatest quantity ever realised in so eeriod. short a " The farn.,:ra have brought their new wheat to mar ket freely ; but as :here is scarcely any old English left, and the new from its and condition requiring a as been no disposition to large ntlinixture of old, there give way in price, notwithstanding the above enormous supply of foreign ; and as it is rapidly s umption,the opinion is general that improve,: into con- rates will shortly be realised , especially as it is evident the,, Ire land will requ;;-e far more wheat and flour than her own pro uce, the crop taree being also deficient in most dis d triers of that country, an t i the consumption of wheat and flour rapidly increasing. " Although the diatrces of the labor ring population of England and Scotland may compel them in many ease , , to substitute potatoes for bread, there is every reason to suppose, that most of the foreign wheat will go Into consumption during the present year, and that a further importation of from 1,000,000 to :2,000,000 of quarters will be required before another harvest ; and, were it not for the inferior quality of the English wheat, the duty might possibly be again low in De. dember ; notwithstanding, it wit exceed 20s. per quar tet hefOre the end of the present month. Purchasers are at pft'aistit tantions in sending out foreign orders ; but there is teCh u general expectation that further supi lies will be required, and that the duty will again be Is. early in the spring, that many arc only waiting to sea bow far prices Will recede at the different foreign ;hipping ports: New English wheat sells at 7s. to Bs.; old, Lis. 51d: to Ss. ; Spanish red and white, Bs. 6d. to B'.
