In the Court ofßankruptcy, on Wednesday, assignees were appointed in the bankruptcy oF the old e aw blished house of Whitmore, Wells, and Whitmore. A vast amount of debts was admitted without opposition. The debts and liabilities are said to amount to 450,0001., and the assets to 200,0001. =~„~ PUBLIC OPINION. The Tory papers are all taken up with Lord Morpeth's farewell speech to the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Herald warmly declares that it is all that such a - Speech should be ; the tender and compas sionate heart of the Post is quite melted with its affect ing eloquence ; and . as for the Times, it sets no bounds to its admiration of his Lordship's rhetoric ! Indeed our Contemporary is quite hysterical on the subject. The Noble Viscount must be greatly distressed and self abased by such hyperbolical approbation. To be abused by the Tories is flattering enough to any sincere Re former ; but to be praised by them, is humiliating to the last degree. We have no doubt that Lord Morpeth will be far more annoyed by the eulogiums of the Tory journals, than even by the loss of his election. The Morning Chronicle justly remarks, in an article suggested by the Times' proposal for new Co lonial bishoprics, that " all that is sordid and grasping in the Church now begins to count upon its harvest time." The expected return of the Tories to power is, indeed, an event full of promise for the Church, and as full of disappointment for the people ; for ten new tax paid Colonial Bishops, as our Contemporary observes, are among the least of the blessings we may look forward to from a Peel Administration. It is evidgnt, from the tenor of the article in the Times of Wednesday, that Mother Church is already getting her sickle ready for the "aPproaching harvest. The Morning Advertiser atttibutes the result of the elections mainly to the misconduct of the Whigs, who, when they had the power to do good, showed themselves wanting in the inclination. _ . . The Dublin Evening Post has no faith in the stability of the anticipated Peel Government, and seems to think that there are many of the more Liberal Tories who will refuse to march through Coventry with Sir Robert and his ragged regiment. —lt is the opinion of the Worcestershire Chronicle, and other Liberal Journals in that county, that, not withstanding the election returns, at least three-fourths of the people are in favour of the great remedial mea sures brought forward by Government. ELECTIONEERING. There has been serious rioting at the Clare election in Ennis. Report goes, that one man, named Eustace► has died of wounds inflicted by the mob. Reports come from Clonmel that a serious riot has taken place there on Monday last. The mob tried to stop a band of voters : the police fired, and four men were shot. The supposed murderers of Mr. Bryan have been apprehended in Ireland. They appear to have been his ejected tenants. COI7R.T-PASHIONA33LES. The Duchess of Cambridge sat on Wednesday to Mr. Hayter, for her portrait in the picture of her Majesty's marriage. The Viscount and Lady Villiers (late Miss Peel) after their wedding-breakfast started for Middleton Park, Oxon (the scat of the Jersey family), to pass the honey- moon. 12.UIVIOtTILS OP TiE DAY. Lord Abinger is about to resign in favour of Sir Frederick Pollock, who is to be made Chief Baron. Mr. Cresswell is to be Attorney-General ; but serious appre hensions are entertained that not one half of the Tory officials will be fit for duty, owing to the shock which their nerves have received by the result of the elections. Like Cromwell, they say, " We never expected to see such a day." At Woodstock, two days ago, two old women, one of whom fainted away at the sight, saw a tree, which would have required many horses to draw it from the place where it was cut down, quietly roll up a neighbouring hill like a huge serpent. Many of Mr. Thesiger's en lightened supporters have been to look at the wonder ful tree. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—His Majesty the Kin. of the Bel gians left the Castle this morning shortly I efor;four o'clock, attended by M.

Yesterday, the same journal said of the same Noble Lord, we " have uniformly felt sin cere respect for his many amiable personal qualities, and unquestionable honour and integrity in private life," — with much more similar flummery. The " slanderer of the women " is also " a generous enemy." The " tool of O'Connell " is also, " of all the Whig statesmen, the man of most gentle disposition and most cultivated mind." If Lord Morpeth and every other man, whether Whig or Tory, be not equally insensible to the praise and censure of the Times, that journal, by the reckless ness with which it abuses that man on Tuesday, whom it praises on a Thursday, must leave him without an ex cuse for his sensibility. The moral perversion of the Tory press is visible in a remark of the Standard. On Tuesday that journal said Mr. Burke was hardly a great man at fifty years of age. Before he reached that age he had written more than half the works which are a storehouse of poli tical wisdom ; but he had not then turned Tory, nor been placed on the Civil List. He only became a great man, in the eyes of the Standard, when he was on the eve of being a renegade and a pensioner. Our Contem porary is privileged to misrepresent living statesmen, but he has no right to take liberties with history. THE HAGUE, JULY 14.—The treaty of com merce between the Netherlands and France concluded July, 1840, having been ratified by the two contracting parties, is now, by order of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, published in the official journal in the Dutch and French lan guages. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The depres sion in the Great Western Railway shares is owing to a report at the Stock Exchange that the directors are about calling on the proprietors for a loan of 1,000,0001. more money to com plete the line. LITERATURE. EMINENT MEN OF ABERDEEN. Smith, Aberdeen, 1841. There are several very interesting biographical sketches in this little volume, and among them one of Robert Gordon, whose name we do not remember to have heard before. He was, it seems, a miser, whose whole expenditure • did not exceed five pounds a year. " Various," says his biographer, " were the methods by which he contrived to satisfy his hunger with out spending any of his money ; one of the least ingenious being, his practice of going through the public markets tasting the provisions, as if he wished to know their quality." This man died in the year 1732, and was the founder of Gordon's Hospital in Aberdeen. For the memoir of Beattie, the author is chiefly indebted to Sir William Forbes. Beattie is—or rather was—an over-rated man, both as a prose-writer and a poet. His best poem is his " Hermit"—a grace ful and feelinc , production, which drew tears from the eyes of Dr. Johnson. HISTORY OF NAPOLEON, Part XI. Tyas, London, 1841. The eventful and romantic history of the late Emperor of France, which is indeed the history of Europe, is brought to a close in this Part, which furnishes us with all the particulars that are known of his imprisonment and death at St. Helena. The Part is embellished with several passable wood-cuts. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The Number before us of this promising Mis cellany, contains a clever and ingenious critical essay, entitled " A stroll through Westminster Hall ;" and one or two translations from the German, under the head of " Specimens of the German Anthology." FINE ARTS. ILLUSTRATIONS OF MASTER HUM PHREY S CLOCK. Tyas, London, 1841. These illustrations of Boz's last popular story, which are continued monthly, are from the pen cil of Sibson, and do credit to his skilful powers of design. The present Part contains four en gravingsy each good of its kind. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. To-day there was very little alteration in the British Secu rities, but the accounts from America rather contributed to their previous heaviness. Consols were this afternoon 89i g; Exchequer Bills, 14s. to ltis. premium ; India Bonds, ss. premium; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99 to 4. Bank Stock was firm at 170 to 170, and India Stock at 249. The half monthly settlement showed a fluctuation of 2 per cent. in Portuguese, and 1 in Spanish Bonds, and as this has been all along to the advantage of thf, Bears, prices went down again to-day.

The progress of emigration to Canada, according to the ae. counts received to-day, is very rapid. (From The Sun of Last Night.)

The papers received from Montreal to-day reach to the 29th ult., which state that money is still tight, and the banks are anything but liberal in the discounting line. Exchange on London is in request ; private bills have been sold this week, for transmission by the steamer, at 9 per cent. prem. on a short credit. The Bank rates, without shaving, is 9d. to 9id per cent. Since Saturday last the Bank of Montreal declined taking Up per Canada notes under 4 per cent. discount ; and drafts 3d to 3id per cent. The Foreign Market continues very heavy. The correspondence received by the Columbia steamer is very voluminous. Generally speaking, the commercial ad vices do not seem to be of so decided a character as the last, the markets being unsettled. In Canada, domestic produce sold pretty well, hut British goods could only be got rid of at a loss. The Neilson " gang' was determined to be as troublesome as possible, but they had lost their power.

The elections which have taken place in Scotland since our last, are of a varied character. Mr. Murray, of Broughton, a staunch Liberal and excellent man, has again triumphed in Kirkcudbrightshire. Sir William Maxwell, his opponent, is the man who made an insulting speech to his tenants, telling them that it was their duty to vote as he desired them 1 The Wigtown burghs have also remained faithful to the Liberal cause, and we have good hopes of the county. Caithness and Ren frewshire have been won from the Tories ; but Roxburgh and Stirlingshire have been lost, and Argyleshire has been given up without a contest. The attempt to establish a Tory in the Wick burghs has failed—Mr. Loch having been triumphantly re-elected. Ayrshire continues under the yokelof the Tories—no candidate having started in oppositi to Lord Kelburne. The result of the contest for Stirling shire we cannot regard without regret ; but it has not altoge ther taken us by surprise. The last election showed that par ties in that county were nearly equal ; and where this is the case, the superior zeal and organization of the Tories, toge ther with their looser morality respecting the weapons they employ, give them almost uniformly an advantage. We have heard with indignation that many persons professing to be Li beral, refused to go to the poll on observing that the Tory candidate had a majority. Renfrewshire, where the struggle was regarded with a s'milir degree of in•erest, has, however, nobly done its duty, Mr. Stewart having triumphed by a ma jority of 14.—Edinburgli Paper, REA T WESTERN RAILWAY.—A delay of the trains for some hours took place on Thursday in the Box tunnel, owing to some of the carriages going off the line. The passengers continued " boxed up" during the whole time, to their very great annoyance and terror.—Bath Journal. SUDDEN DEA TH.—Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, while Mr. Smith, belonging to the Court of Chancery, was waiting for the Hertford coach at the Bell and Crown, Holborn, he was seen to stagger, and fall very heavily on the ground ; when lifted, he was found to be dead.

Mr. Clay's Fiscal Bank (United States) Bill proposes that— The capital shall be thirty millions, in shares of 100 dollars one-third to be subscribed by the. United States. It may be hereafter increased by Congress twenty mil lions more, and the United States may subscribe for one third of such increase at par, but not more. The sub scriptions to be paid in bullion, gold or silver coin of the United States, or foreign corn at their legal value. The subscriptions of the United States to be made in coin of five per cent. stock redeemable at the expira tion of fifteen years., The Bank may sell the stock for coin or bullion, or the Secretary of the Treasury may, if he elect, sell the stock, and pay its nominal amount to the Bank at par. Should there be a deficiency on private subscriptions not exceeding one-third the amount re quired, the Secretary of the Treasury may subscribe for it and issue stock for his subscription in like manner as before. The title to be " Fiscal Bank," and its seat, the dis trict of Columbia. The management to be in nine di rectors —three annually appointed, by the President and Senate, and six annually elected' at Washington by the stockholders, other than the United States. The Directors shall establish an office of discount and deposite in any State, where 2,000 shares are held or have been subscribed, whenever upon application of such State, Congress may require it. And they may also es tablish offices of discount and deposit in any State, terri tory, or district of the United States ; or, instead of es tablishing such offices, it shall be lawful for them to employ any agent or agents, or any other bank or banks, at any place or places they may deem safe and proper, to manage and transact their business, other than for the purpose of discount. Not more than nine, nor less than five managers or directors of every office established as aforesaid, shall be appointed by the directors of the cor poration. As soon as seven millions of .dollars, in bullion, gold, or silver coin, or in Treasury Notes, shall have been ac tually received exclusive of the subscription of the United States, notice shall be given, of the election of the six directors at Washington, to take place at least thirty days from the time of the notice, and the President to nomi nate the three remaining directors at the next Session of Congress. The Directors to have a salary to be fixed by the stockholders at their annual meeting. The amount of debt which the Bank may contract over and above its deposits, is restricted to twenty-five mil lions of dollars, unless authorised by law. Its dealings are restricted to bills of exchange, gold or silver coin, or bullion. No promissory notes maybe issued for less than 5,000 dollars, and having more than twelve months to run. No note payable on demand to be issued for less than ten dollars, nor shall the Bank discount or buy, ex change, or extend its loans, when its circulation exceeds three times its specie on hand. The debts to the Bank may never exceed the capital paid in more than 75 per cents. No discounts may be made for longer than 180 days, and no renewals in any shape, and th Bank shall only pay out its own notes, or coin, or bullion.

Half-yearly dividends may be made of the profits, but th use may not exceed 3 per cent. for one half year. An accumulation of profits beyond the dividends amounting to two millions of dollars shall be paid into the Treasury, and any surplus at the expiration of the charter. If in any half year the profits fail to yield 3i per cent. divi dend, Congress will (?) out of previous surplusses, ap propriate enough to make up the deficiency. GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.

Before the former returned, the buck had nearly reached the shore, when . young P. tried to prevent his landing until his Illinois friend returned with the rltle, The buck immediately turned and made for the other shore again. Fearing he was going to lose the prize, P. lost no time, but stripping himself, and takinc , a penknife in his teeth, he plunged in after the animal. He overtook and passed him in the middle of the stream, and seizing him by the head, cut his throat with his knife, and taking the deer by one of his hinder legs, endeavoured to drag him ashore. The latter had no thought of yielding his life without struggle, and gave his enemy a tremendous kick, who, changing his position, took his prey by one of the ears, and ater considerable effort succeeded in bring , ing him to the shore, greatly to the roliof of llls friend, who had come with a musket, and had been an anxious spectator of the danger to which his Yankee companion had unconsciously exposed himself." MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.-A most ap palling occurrence took place in the Rye Market on nfonday, whereby three children lost their lives, About , one o'clock the Red Rover coach, from Lud low, stopped at the Falcon Inn, Rye Market ; com ing in the opposite direction was a waggon, loaded with lime, and drawn by four horses, belonging to Mr. Parr, of Iverly. A few yards before reaching the coach the horses started into a gallop, and the street being very narrow (under 20 feet, including causeways), they drew the waggon on to the causeway on the near side. There were a number of children, some of whom were dragged into the houses, but iree of them, namely, Young, three years of age, son of Mr. Young, Hole in-the-Wall Inn ; Edwards, four years of age, daughter of Mr. Edwards, glass-dealer, High-street ; and Jones, 10 years of age, daughter of Mr. Jones, of Iverley, were knocked down and crushed in a most awful manner. The shrieks of those who witnessed the appalling occurrence were dreadful to hear. The boy Young was taken up quite dead, his head being literally smashed (the brains were gathered from the flags and. placed in a plate), and the head was nearly severed from the body, The younger girl was crushed in the lower part of the body, the intestines protruding, and the lower limbs broken ; she died in about an hour after the accident. The elder girl survived about two hours, when death mercifully put an end to her sufferings. The lower part of her body was torn in a most awful manner, the pelvis, thigh and leg bones broken, and the skin and flesh lacerated in a manner almost incredible. The mother of the child Edwards has only been confined a week ; it was a most heart-rending sight to see the parents of the others in their grief. Jones was perfectly sensible, and requested her parents to take her home, where she should be better ; she clung around their necks with child-like fondness till death put an end to her suffer ings. The inquest on the bodies of these unfortunate in nocents will be given in our next.—Worcester Chronicle. NOVEL ACCIDENT.—On Monday, as Mr. Henry Nott, shoemaker, and his wife and family, were sitting in the kitchen of his house in Back-lane, leading from Salt-lane to Britannia-square, the floor suddenly gave way, and the whole party were precipitated into the cellar, which was (as it happened) fortunately not very full of barrels, or the consequences might have been very serious. A female, who was standing near the door, was left in a very awkward position, ono foot being outside the door-sill, and the other on the quarries, just within. Mrs. Nott was slightly bruised, and the others escaped without injury. The flooring was laid on an arch, which, it is presumed, gave way in consequence of the sinking of a well in the neighbourhood, and thus occasioned the accident. — Worcester Chronicle. THE SUBORDINATE CLASSES IN GERMANY. —The landlord often sits at the table with his guests, and, with his own country people, converses on terms of apparent equality. The same self-respect blends with the civility of the shopkeeper. He is very happy t o serve and suit you, but, if he cannot, he is ready to direct you elsewhere. Shopmen have repeatedly, unasked, sent a person to guide us through the intricate Conti nental streets to another shop.' The domestics are prompt, faithful, and cheerful in their services. There is freedom, but no presumption in their manners, and nothing of that unhappy uncertainty as to their exact position, so uncomfortable in our people.. In all these subordinate classes you see nothing of the cringing ser vility that marks them in England and to which they are exposed by their direct dependence on their em ployers.—Mess Sedgivieh's Letters from Abroad. LOVE OF THE MiVitVELLOUS.—WOOD STOCK, TUEsDAY.—(From a Correspondent.) —The good people of Woodstock are all up . in arms about a most marvellous occurrence which is said to have been wit nessed within the last few days by two old women, one of whom fainted away at the awful sight, and the other was so frightened that she has not been well since. The story is, that a large tree, which had been cut down in the neighbourhood, and which without its branches would have required six or eight horses to draw it from the place where it lay, was suddenly seen, as if by magic, to roll up a hill ! The story, absurd as it is, has got much bruited ab ou t, an d many persons f r om Oxford an d other places have been to look at the wonderful tree.

A LANDOWNER'S OPINION OF THE CORN LAws.—As one of your body, as a landowner and occu pier, I protest against the present Corn-laws as impolitic and unjust, and I deny there being anything like a fit and adequate protection. . . . But the time is arrived when the landowners and occupiers can prove to their fellow-countrymen, that they disdain any par tial or unfair advantage, and that they are ready and willing to compete with the foreign growers on fair and equal terms, and that they ask no favour. There fore, gentlemen, I trust you will, without delay, reason this matter among yourselves, and join with me in urging the Legislature to free us from th e unj us t c h arge laid at our doors, and that some other plan may be followed, if any is necessary, to regulate the tradein corn. I perceive no other but " open ports with fixed duties."—thus treating the food of man as every other article of food is treated, and allowing corn at all times to come here and be sold in our markets upon payment of a duty of from Bs. to 10s. the quarter of wheat, and other grain, in proportion. If any of you 'should be alarmed at this proposition, let me remind them of what took place in the article of wool in the year 1824, when the import duty was lowered from 6d. per lb. to ld.,_ an alteration that w as p re di c t e d b y t h e growers o f wool at that time to be destructive to their interests • and, it was said, must t en d t o th e l essen i ng o f t h e b ree d of sheep all over the kingdom. I beg to ask any flock master if this has been so ?—on the contrary, I aver the breed of sheep has been increased, and conse quently the quantity of . British wool, in spite of the enormous importation of that article. And this fact leads me to deprecate the absurd cry that is now and then heard against the principle of tree trade, which, on a close examination, and tried by the test of experi ence, will be found to be based on sound sense and:o s - Lice to all countries, and to have produced an increased degree of happiness and enjoyment of the fruits of the earth in every part of the world. I trust, therefore, gen tlemen, entertaining a sincere desire to come to a just view of our present situ a ti on , I s h a ll b e excused in thus addressing you, and in urging you to come forward in an endeavour to allay unjust clamour, and to prevent a ll ap prehensions of future f am i ne , which—with our vastly increased population, from 14 to 18 millions in England, Scotland, and Wales, to say nothing of Ireland —can only be done by encouraging at all times the largest supply of food, whether of home-growth or foreign.— Letter of Sir T. B. Lethbridge to the Agriculturists of England, sit 1838. LABOUR.—Bread, wine, and cloth are things of daily use and great plenty ; yet notwithstanding, acorns, water, and leaves or skins, must be our bread, drink, and clothing, more did not labour fu rn i s h us w i t h t h ese useful commodities ; for whatever bread is more worth than acorns, wine than water, and cloth and silk than leaves, skins, or moss, that is solely owing to labour and industry ; the one of these being the food and raiment which unassisted nature furnishes us with ; the other provisions which our industry and pains prepare for us„ which how much they exceed the other in value, when any one hath computed, he will then see how much la bour makes the far greater part of the value of things we enjoy in this world.—Lock's Essay on Civil Governmeist..

He was really the most awflil-looking object I ever beheld, '?lose who live in your country may tack of the w4v ending, but if they were here their opinions would change. !I:here are no signs of such a thing—it may last, from present appearances, for twenty years, The bilious and congestive fevers have raged to a consi derable extent in this place.

PURITY OF ELECTION.-_A man of the name of Benjamin Binns, a hay-dealer, on Quarry-hill, w h o has al ways before voted for the Liberal candidates, on the last occa sion offered his vote to the Liberals if they would give hire Si. This was refused, and he voted for Beckett and Jocelyn. Of course, he got his price from the Blues. The result plainly enough proves that. But it is impossible, of course, to say how much that price was, and by whom it was paid. We know, however, from the statement of the man himself, that the Blues offered to find him the Iloor boards for a house that he is building, which he de clined, not considering it suf f icient. The following is another case of a voter seeking a bribe :—A man, of the name of Cox, a pill doctor, living in York-street, sent up to the Liberal Central Committee for 101. He has always before voted for the Liberal candidates. The money was, of course, refused, and be voted for Beckett and Jocelyn. There can be no doubt that a bribe was both offered and accepted in this Case, but as in almost all cases of successful attempts of bribery, it is impossible to penetrate the veil in which both the parties to the bargain are anxious to envelope the villany they have committed. Another voter, who was bad in his rent, also dis tinctly and openly offered his vote for 101. It was refused, and he also voted for the T es.— Leeds Times. Qrgans ar e o f Treat antiquity, but violins are not. The former was first brought to Europe from the Greek empire in 758, and violins were first invented about 1477, and introduced by Charles 11.

THE CROPS. —The unsettled state of the wea ther has much retarded the hay harvest ; the crops an several fields in this vicinity, after having been cut from two to three weeks, were only secured a few days ago, and in very indifferent condition. The present unfa vourable aspect of the season prevents the ge neral cutting of the crop s , although quite ready for the scythe. Corn in general looks well, and promises an early and abundant harvest.— York Courant.

The pl ay was one of the Prin cess Amelia , s ; a tale of domestic sorrow, as I ascertained by my interpreters. There was no scen i c e ff ect, no dramatic contrivance to aid it. The scene was not once shifted during the play. Devrient seemed to me, as far as I could judge merely from his action, expression, and voice, to deserve the applause showered on him. The playing was all natural, and the voices of the women marvellously sweet. Have I never yet remarked to you the sweet, low tone o f t h e G erman woman's voiFe? i From the cultivated ac t ress to your c h am b erma id, it s a musical pleasure to hear them speak. is it an atmos pheric effect, or the breath of a placid temper ?
