EVENING EDITION ' A THE GALLANT NAPIER. Estimate of the character of Admiral Napier in 1833, extracted from the Memoirs of Sir Charles Shaw. " The power of mind which Admiral Napier possesses has something overwhelming in it. In reviewing a subject, he sees at once all its different bearings ; not a trifle escapes his eye, but he pushes those trifles aside, and bears only upon that which his acute mind in a moment decides is the great point which, once attained, he knows will carry every other. To use militaryphrase, Napier can at once muster the differ ent divi sions of his mind " en masse," then he advances, bearing all opposition before him ; not attacking insignificant points, but with a tact peculiarly his own, seizing and occupying at once great positions ; while other people were thinking what ought to be done, and were discussing the means of attaining that purpose, they only knew of Admiral Napier thinking of it by finding that he had succeeded in achieving the great oject they had been puzzling their brains about. This was the style of man to carry success with it."—Extract, page 45. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. (Front the rotes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) MONDAY, MAY 3. CRIMINAL JUSTICE BILL.. .

DEPTFORD ANTI-CI ASSOCIATION, Petition unanimously adopted at a crowded meeting, called by public advertisement, in Dept ford, on Monday, April 4, and lying for signa ture at the White Swan and various other places : To the Honourable the House of Commons in Parliament assembled, The Petition of the Members of the Deptford Anti-Corn-law Association and others. _ . _ Sheweth—That your petitioners are connected with trade and navigation, and live in continual sight cf the memorial of England's naval greatness, which they have been taught is mainly founded on the same. 'That the existing Corn-laws amount to a confiscation of their property, of the same nature as would have been inflicted on the owners of the soil, if the owners of the commercial and water-borne properties within the country had prohibited the sale of the produce of the soil in a free market. That your petitioners also believe the wealth, revenue, and standing of the country in relation to foreign States, to be cut down in the same manner as if your petitioners had roguishly and foolishly procured the prohibition of the free sale of the produce of the soil, for the sake of importing more provisions from abroad. They therefore pray for justice and compensation, first, through the removal of the present Corn-laws by the subtrac tion of three shillings annually from every grade of the exist ing scale ; and afterwards, through the substitution of bounties en the importation of foreign corn, by corresponding augmen tations of three shillings annually on each grade of the existing scale, till the bounties equal the pi esent duties, and then to be continued for twenty-six years, or so long as shall correspond to the period during which the property of your petitioners has been subjected to confiscation. With reservation always, that such bounties shall at any time be commuted for a per manent tax on rent, of such magnitude as to your Honourable House shall be proved to be a fair equivalent on the part of the owners of the soil. MEETING AT DEPTFORD FOR THE ABOLI TION OF THE CORN-LAWS. Yesterday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, a meeting was held for the above purpose at the Swan Tavern, High street, Deptford, Mr. JOHN WADE in the Chair, who stated that Colonel Thompson would deliver a lecture, after which a petition to the House of Commons would be submitted to the meeting for their approval and signature ; and expressed his gratification at seeing so large an assemblage of persons. He then begged to introduce the gallant Colonel Thompson, a tried friend to thequestion at issue. Colonel P. THostrsoN then rose amidst tremendous cheer ing, and dwelt on the evils arising from the present state of of the Corn-laws. Mr. JOHN Want.: said that several of the ministers of the neighbourhood had been requested to attend this meeting— all, in fact, with the exception of the Rector. The SECRETARY then read letters from the Reverends Mr. Hope, Squire, and others, all of whom expressed their regret at not being able to attend, in consequence of important pri vate business. Mr. PAINE was most happy to think that Government had taken the question up, and he trusted that thepresent assemblage would give strong opposition to this obnoxious and starvation tax, by signing the petition extensively. Mr. WADE (the Chairman) proposed that the petition be adopted, which was c arr i e d unanimously. The crowded state of the large room of the Swan Tavern, which is capable of accommodating upwards of 500 people, and the numbers that went away, not being able to get stand ing room , prove strongly th e i nterest of Deptford for the aboli tion of the Corn-laws. CORN LAWS. The announcement of the Government of their intention to prepose an alteration in the Corn-laws, struck terro r i n t o th e minds of the landed A ristocr acy , which has not yet been al layed after they have had three days for its consideration. The neighbourhood of Whitehall Gardens was crowded this morn ing with Tory Members of both Houses--a mee ti ng h aving bsrs held at Sir R. Peel's residence, for the purpose of de citfing upon the tactics the party are to adopt on the present emergency. It is said they have determined to murder the whole strength of the Conservatives on Friday, an d attempt to defeat the :Mi n i s t r y u pon Lord Sandon's motion on the Budget. DRPIITY. CANADA.

The explosion in the House of Commons on Friday was felt in the House of Lords last night; and the prodigious haste the Duke of BIICICINGHAM has made to denounce the Minis terial proposition before it be known, is another con proof of the exquisite tenderness of that raw in the land lords which the Ministers have rubbed. The Duke, on presenting 120 petitions, principally from places in Bucks, against any alteration of the Corn-laws, said that the announcement on Friday had induced the petitioners to communicate with him and express their as tonishment and regret that the head of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment should have united with his colleagues in altering the Corn-laws. The Noble Duke hoped that the Commons would, by their opinion, dispel the fears of the agriculturists, and enable them to enjoy in peace their own property. What a scandal to call a tax property ! Of course the Noble Duke quoted some words formerly used by Viscount 1 1 1ELBDuatix, describing very happily, certainly, the temporary evils of changing the law, but also describing the permanent evils of continuing it, and warned the Noble Viscount that he would throw the country into confusion. Viscount MELBOURNE showed by a quotation from a former speech of his, that he had never declared his adhesion to the present Corn-law, and had always stated that the alteration in it was only a question of time, but that it must be altered. He further declared that the time had now arrived when the exi gencies of the State made it impossible to leave that MASTER GRIEVANCE UNTOUCHED, to which declaration let all the people say " Amen." The Earl of RIPON expressed great regret at the speech of the Noble Viscount, on account of his Noble Friend's cha racter. He wanted to know whether the principle to be fol lowed was protection or taxation ; if it were protection Corn laws were all right and proper,—if it were taxation, it was such a monstrous thing that it had never been done by any country to tax the bread of the people. The Earl of WixcninsrA followed on the same side, and made a prodigious deal of noise. The proposed measure was a tax, he said, on corn, a tax upon the agricultural interest, a tax on the most essential article of food, and he would give it all the opposition in his power.—(Lord STANnoex gave assent to this.) It had hitherto been protection, it was now to be a tax on bread, and, in Gon's name, let their Lordships resist it. So these Noble Lords delude themselves, and fancy they can delude the country, by making a distinction, where there is no difference, between protection and taxation. At present the tax on corn is about 235. per quarter ; Ministers mean to reduce it. according to the supposition, to about ss. or is., but it is to be now kept up for the revenue of the State, and not fur the benefit of the landlords ; and these foolish Lords suppose that while the thing remains the same, or rather, its mischievous effect will be probably diminished, that a change in its name alters its character. An onerous tax for protection is a good thing, according to them ; a light tax for re. venue is to be abhorred by men and Gods. We can not see much difference in them ; but the heavier tax to en. rich the landlords is much the more hateful. In every word which the Earl of RIPON and the Earl of WINCHILSEA said against a bread tax in any shape, we cordially agree ; but their denunciations apply with more force to the present fluctuating tax than to the tax, if it be moderate, to be proposed by Mi nisters. We wou!d recommend Ministers to consider of this in time, and instead of being parties to continuing the tax on corn, taking all that odium on themselves, to come into our views and abolish the Corn-laws altogether. That is the cer tain way to give a stimulus to enterprise, and make the altera tions in the other taxes which they propose answer their expectations. Lord DUNFERMLINE in presenting 'a petition from seven clergymen complaining that they are deprived of their rights entered at some length into the interminable difference be tween the Scotch Church and the Scotch law authorities, which he said ought to be stopped, otherwise the diff erence ' would extend to other parts of the empire. The Assembly had attempted to enforce its own act in defiance of auth or i ty. Something definite ought immediately to be done, or there would be two churches in every parish, one the prop of the State, the other the prop of the General Assembly. Th e Noble Lord gently hinted that the patronage of the Govern ment flowed over on and fertilized the opposers of authority. Viscount MELBouarix adhered to his resolution of not inter fering, trusting apparently to the rabid party recovering their senses. After some interesting conversation, in which 'the Earl of RODEN took the part of the clergy, the petition was laid on the table. The Earl of GLENGALL brought the case of Mr. STANLEY, the Secretary to the Poor-law Commissioners for Ireland, under the notice of the House. Mr. STANLEY, it will be recol lected, was examined at the bar, and proved to have altered a paper which had been ordered to be laid on the table of the House. The Noble Earl moved that Mr. STAN. LEY made the alteration in contempt of the authority of the House. After a short debate the resolution iva. carried. The Noble Earl then moved that Mr. STANLEY be ordered to attend at the bar of the House ; but after it had been explained that Mr. STANLEY was in bad health, he with drew it, and a resolution was passed stating the reason why it was withdrawn, so that their Lordships might not appear to waive any of their privilege or power. The minute of the Board on the subject of the resignation or dismissal o f M r. STANLEY was also ordered t o be laid on the table, and so ends, we believe, that great Clonmel affair, by which the Earl of GLENGALL and other Irish Tory Peers were to blow up the Ministers. At Half-past Nine their Lordships Adjourned. In the Commons, a Mr. G. PALMER gave notice that he would move to postpone the Committee on the Colonial Pos e °r ruP tua amendments r I:d:m s D e a n r o e t n s 1 wage c t t o: N o ,d r e c c o e ses4i "s Bill. That is the beginning of the warfare which the against the whole system of pro posed4R supply the place of Sirl new writ for Sandwichmasume•daes.riesisaul ec.dodieo. Lord STANLEY' night, which lo o k afon Bill for a fort night, his Betustr : s as if it woul i be given IT. Mr. HANDLEY complained of the Morning Chro, isle. It had misrepresented If . • un to have said, on Frida_y evening, that he would second the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in dealing with the various details of the proposed alteration of of the Corn-law, wLereas he stated "that . he should do his duty to his constituents and the public," implying that he would oppose the Minister's plan. He moved that the printer of the Morning Chronicle be called to the bar ; but alter a few words from Mr. HUME, withdrew the motion. Viscount SANDON gave notice of a motion on Friday, to take the sense of the House on the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER'S Budget resolutions, including, we presume, the alteration of the Corn-law, which will at once bring the mat ter to an issue. All the friends of free trade and justice must be present on Friday to support Ministers. Sir ROBERT INGLIS also gave notice of his intention of taking the sense of the House on the propriety of allowing any British subject within her Majesty's dominions to consume slave grown sugar. The Hon. Baronet will of course, there fore, stop the present practice of refining Cuba and Brazil sugar in bond, and supplying Mr. GLADSTONE'S estates in Demarara with it at a cheap rate. His West India friends will not thank the Hon. Baronet for his zeal. It is delightful, however, to see all the professors of all the purities so eager to signalize themselves in injuring the people of England, who long suffering as they are, must now know who are their real friends. _ _ The House went into Committee on the Punishment of Death Bill, but interesting as that subject is at other times it has lost all its interest now when the question is whether a large number of the people shall be annually doomed to or saved from starvation to please the protected landlord. After several divisions on clauses of the Bill, all of which were against Mr. KELLY, that gentleman said that finding he could not bear up against the whole weight of the Government, he would not carry the Bill any further. 'lhe House resumed. The House then went into Committee on the Criminal Jus tice Bill, and were occupied for a considerable time with some amendment proposed by Mr. W. PATTEN, relative to compensating the Coroner of Manchester, and the Clerk to the Peace, and Clerk to the Justices of Lancashire, which was contested with the vigour of a personal dispute. Mr. Hatt PHILIPS was the principal opponent. Mr. PATTEN'S clauses, however, were lost on a division by 128 to 73. A clause proposed by Lord En rarort to exempt Bolton from the rim was lost by 75 to 31. The Bill was ordered to be reported. At One o'Clock the - I -louse Adjourned. We beg to remind the friends of the claimants for losses in Denmark, that the case stands as an " Order of the Day" for to-morrow evening. We cannot understand the ground on which the CHANCELLOR ,of the EXCHEQUER has so obsti nately resisted the repeated decisions of the House in favour of the shipping class of the claimants, who are equally, if not more, enti tled to relief, than the other two classes who have already received indemnity. We now trust that Mr. BARING will have the good sense to accede to the wishes of Parliament, and do justice, though tardily, to these poor claimants. In case, however, of any manoeuvre ou the part of Government to prevent a House being made, we hope that Members will be early in attend ance to thwart any attempt of this nature. The old Poor-law was abolished because the paupers were eating up the estates of the gentry . But, according to the Standard, and the passage is well worthy the attention of the landlords, the Poor-law, together with the Corn-law, cannot exist, and must be abolished. If the Corn-law be abolished, the landlords will have a dimi nished rental ; if the Poor-law be abolished their estates will be shared by the pauperg. Either way the landlords are in a most unenviable po sition. But hear our Tory Contemporary : The Corn-laws do to some extent, though less than is be lived, keep up the price of provisions; but the practical effect of the New Poor-law, and whatever has been pretended to the contrary, the intended effect, is to bring down the rate of wages. These are two operations that cannot go, on together without injustice to the working classes ; and if the New Poor-law is to remain, the Corn-laws must give way. They who have all along thought with us can have no difficulty in joining the people in efforts to get rid of the odious Malthusian law ; and for the Conservatives from whom we unfortunately have dif fered upon this point, we respectfully warn them, that they can not save that hateful law. Its doom has gone forth. The voice of the country has unequivocally pronounced sentence upon it from the hustings at Nottingham. Conservatives may damage their own interests, and compromise the interests of their party, and they have done this teo long, by the attempt to save this monument of the folly and cruelty of their polltical antagonists—but save it they cannot. The poor landlords then are doomed, as well as the Poor-law, and whether Tories or Whigs govern us they may prepare to see their wealth depart and their order decline. Our Contemporary has another passage which, being found in its pages, deserves consideration. The Standard habitually insists on maintaining the enthroned magnificence of a mitred priest hood, that the splendour of its wealth may im pose on our senses, and continually demands more gold for that body ; it supports the injus. tice of taxing Dissenters to enrich the Church ; and above all it advocates zealously the Corn law, in order to add to the wealth of the idle landlord at the expense of the i.l - iitustrious bourer yet it, last night, contained the following words : For ourselves we cl, not conceal the opinion, that it is not only possible, but easy, to render the working classes in Eng land the most contented and loyal people upon the face of the earth, and ' t he m os t a tt ac h e d to the laws and institutions of their ewantry ; but to do this we must treat them as citizens, and n'Jt as slaves. We most restore to them an interest in the institutions which they are to defend; renounce the wor ship of Mammon as the deity of our national policy ; and ensure to every man a fair share of his own earnings. It is a mistake to suppose that the mere labourer alone suffers by the tyranny of wealth; the grievance ascends to classes who never dream of the real cause of their sufferings—it meets the shopkeeper, the professional man, and even the scholar, in the weight of gold thrown into the scale against him, what ever the object of his pursuit. But the reform must begin at the foundation ; raise the condition of the humbler classes—of men living by labour—and by the one act you elevate all the sons of industry, whatever their rank. We delight to see such sentiments in the Tory papers, and rejoice to think that the Corn-law proposition of the Ministers is the parent of the Standard's wisdom, begotten on the Standard's wrath. How raise the condition of the labourer, —how treat the working classes as citizens, not as slaves ?—how ! but by not plundering them, and by admitting them into all the privileges of the State. At present, because a man is not able to live in a ten-pound house, he is disfranchised; because he is not the owner of 3001. or 300/. a year from bricks and mortar, or from clods, he is not fit for a representative. At present our whole political system, as worked and carried out by the Tories—who have substituted property, as we showed on Friday, the sign of freedom, for freedom itself—is founded on the worship of MAMMON. The great objection, repeated over and over again by the Standard, too, as well as the bulk of the Tories, to the Parlia mentary Voters Bill, was that the proposed class of voters had little or no wealth. They might be the most honest, the most religious, the most patriotic men in the world, but they had not M. beneficial interest in the land, and were held to be justly disfranchised by the Journal which now denounces the worship of MAmmoN. The Standard hits itself as hard as it hits the land lords ; and, while it generally advocates the ex clusive aristocratic constitution, proposes, by giv ing the labourers wealth and full liberty, the destruction of the aristocracy. It sacrifices its own consistency, hoping to gull the Chartists; but they will not be deluded by such a barefaced trick. The Corn-law was passed, and is now upheld in the true spirit of MAmmolv worship, solely and exclusively by the landlords, in opposition to the people, to keep up rents. If it was sus pected to diminish rent, it would be totally abo lished as soon as the forms of Parliament would allow a law to be passed. At the same time, the worshippers of MAMMON hypocritically pre tend that it is for the good of the poor. They dare to clothe their low-minded avarice in the garb of philanthropy, and usurp, while they Practise the vices of a money-scrivener, the cha racter and attributes of a benevolent Deity. Such a jumble of hypocrisy, cant, inconsist ency, and fraud, as make up the character of Tory politicians, whether they be writers or speakers, is prodigiously disgusting. That men should be enslaved by a valiant conqueror, at the head of a powerful army, seems deplorable enough ; but that they should be similarly de graded by such hypocritical worshippers of MA 31 - MON as our Tory aristocracy, and not by any valour or wisdom on their part, but by the unin telligible balderdash of Acts of Parliament, would not be credible were the fact not so familiar as no longer to excite astonishment. However, we have the authority of the Standard and its prac tice for asserting that the system is doomed. In common with the Times, and the rest of the To ries, it courts the Chartists. We begin to think they were right, for their ends, in not agitating for a repeal of the Corn-laws, for they have, by their acquiescence, infatuated the aristocracy to keep up those execrable laws, and so have brought on a financial and political crisis, in which they are courted as arbiters of the fate of the Ministers and the Constitution.

Such, Sire, are, on this occa sion, our wishes and desires, and we beg your Majesty to ac cept them with our respectful congratulations." Not a word is here said about the blessings of peace, or the merit due . to the King for its maintenance. Nor is there more than a hope expressera that the blessings enjoyed up to the present moment may be continued. Altogether the Wddress beSpeaks an altered state of rela , tlons with France. It loses sight of the Sove reign, and confines itself to the feelings of the individual. The King is sunk in the grandfa ther, and the Royal heart gives place to the paternal. Nor was the King's answer less guard ed. It is as follows : " The Diplomatic Corps knows the value that I attach to the sentiments you have just expressed in its name. It is very agreeable for me to hear them at the moment when, as you say, the celebration of the baptism of my grandson is for ins and my family a new proof of the divine protection of which we have had so many testimonies. In thanking 3 ou for the goad wishes you express, I beg you to receive the expres sion of those which I form far the happiness-of the Sovereigns whom you represent." But his Majesty felt the necessity of being more explicit, respecting the past and present policy of France. Accordingly, in answer to the address of the Chamber of Peers, read by Baron PASQUIER, its President, the King said with strong emphasis " I have the happiness to have ensured to France for eleven years the blessing of peace. Your assistance will aid the maintenance of this state of things, which is the best guarantee of liberty, and the surest means of resisting those illusions of the spirit of con quest, which so often cast nations into an abyss cf evils." And in his reply to the Address of the Deputies, the KING further said I hope, with the support of the Chambers, to preserve France from all the ills which result from poli tical errors." These sentiments are exceedingly praiseworthy. We wish the Chambers were influenced by them when debating the propriety of continuing the war in Africa. For ourselves, we never doubted the desire of the KING to maintain peace in Eu rope —never once called in question his opposi tion to the hair-brained and dishonest policy of M. THIERS. Saturday and the morning of Sunday, as we before observed, passed over peaceably in Paris. But there was almost as little enthusiasm as out rage in that capital. The people seemed indif ferent to the spectacles prepared for their amuse ment. The fireworks were magnificent, but the loudest admirers of them were foreign residents in Paris. The Louis-PHILIPPE correspondence con tinues amidst the fetes and. festivities to occupy the Paris Journals. When they once get hold of a subject they stick to it like leeches. In this respect their columns present none of the variety of topics found in English newspapers. The French Journalists never hunt singly or in couples: At the first scent of the game the whole pack are in motion. Nor is their zeal at all regulated or affected by magnificence or Insignificance of the object to be achieved. They are as ferocious in the rabbit-warren as in the jungle, amid the roaring of the lion, and the growling of the tiger. M. TRIERS says the French people cannot live without a passion, and the passion of the French Press is to ba always in a fury about something or other. (From the Gazette de France.)

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Thursday night, the 29th ult. a very serious acci dent happened to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and daughter, of Horell's Farm, Great Coggeshall. Mr. J. was returning from Hightields, the residence of H. White, Esq., driving a pony in a four-wheeled chaise, and had not proceeded more than 100 yards when the pony, from some unknown cause. became un managable ; on arriving at the turning into the high road from Coggeshall to Braintree, such was the velocity of the animal that despite of the stenuons exertions of Mr. Jackson to re strain its course it ran against and the shafts penetrated through the wall of a cottage nearly opposite the turning. The in mates whe had retired to rest were greatly alarmed at the shock, but made all possible haste to render assistance. The party were by the violence of the concussion thrown from the ehaisE, mricl.tYc regret to add.

BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Win. Pierce was placed before Ali% Hall, charged with hav ing robbed Mrs. Hayward of 2001. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns, and Elizabeth Donnell was charged with hay in, received part of the notes, knowing them to have been stolen. _ . Mrs. Hayward deposed that the male prisoner was her nephew, and was in the habit of visiting her. A few weeks ago he came to see her in consequence of her being ill. Soon after he left she had occasion to go to her box where she kept her money, and found that the whole of it was gone, con sisting of 2001. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns. The money was kept in a big. As soon as she discovered her loss she gave information of it to the police. The woman employed as nurse to Mrs. Hayward corrobo rated her evidence. Ellen Macreath deposed that she was acquainted with a young man of the name of Galbray, who formerly lived with the female prisoner. About a fortnight ago, the mother of Gal bray came to her and requested her to accompany her to the !emale prisoner's lodgings, as she wished to ascertain whether her son was married to the prisoner. The witness accompanied her to the house where the female prisoner lived, and there saw both the prisoners together. The male prisoner produced a great quantity of bank-notes r and wished her to sew them up in a bag. aPinty was called, and corroborated the testimony, adding that he was in company w:th the male prisoner the same even ing, and he went into' a pu bbc-house to chan e ,oea 201. net^, but p ,,:rt of the change, and .et the could not do so, but obtained a note at the public-house. David Jones deposed that the female nrisoner lodged in his house. On last Tuesday week she eain.: to him, and asked him to take care of two 201. notes for her, ,and handed him a 101. note and one 51. note. She said she had received some money from Portsmouth, and that she was going receive some nidre, Site said she was going to be married, anti when she returned ild could give her the money. The witnei.: looked at the note., and said, " These are rot 101. notes. One is a 5/. note, and the other 101." As she did not seem to know what the notes were, he should like to have some one by to see her give him the notes. She said he need not fear any thing, as a young man that she knew had received 200/., and she was going to be married to him. She wished the wit ness to pay away the notes as 5000 as he could in the way of business. The male prisoner came its, and the witness showed him the notes, and asked him what they were. He said they were a 101. note and a 5/. note. The witness then wrote the name of the female prisoner on the back of both the notes. The brother of the witness had since changed the notes. Joseph Thompson, a police constable, stated that from in formation he received he , proceeded to Liverpool, and there as certained that the two prisoners were living together as man and wife in the name of Hawkins. He went to the house where they resided and saw the female prisoner. He said he had come from the Birmingham Railway with a money parcel. She said she expected one. The witness said he must have a re ceipt for the money by her husband. . She,said he would be in soon. He came in soon afterwarqs, and the witness told him he apprehended him in the name of Pierce. He said he did not know anything of the name, that his name was Hawkins. The witness took both prisoners into custody and brought them to London. _ _ .

A FRENCH STEAM-BOAT.---An Englishman, who had never before seen Frenchmen, and their mode of doing things, would have deemed that the boat was on the point of blowing us all into the air, or at least that every soul on board was some very near and dear relation of every !coal on the quay, and that we were all bound for New South Wales. The cap tain, standinz, on the paddle-box, had, from his air and gesti culation, every appearance of being in the agonies of frenzied despair, caused, as I presently perceived, by the tardy move ments of a little boy, who was lugging down the quay a huge basket of hot rolls for our breakfast. Clang, clang, jang, jang, went the bell nnintermittingly ; the steam hissed phizzed, and roared by turns ; and the crowds, both on the quay and on board, evidently labouring under the influence of the most. exciting emotions, were chattering, hallooing, swear ing, and gesticulating with an intensity of purpose quite as tounding. At last, after a vehement contest between the cap tain and a peasant who insisted on bringing a great hog on board with him, in which dispute most of the by-standers took part, the rope which held us to the bank was thrown off, and away we phizzed down the river.— Trollope's Summer in Western France.

On Friday evening, prior to the opening of the Bud get, Lord John Russell gave i n that be would, early in June, move, " That the Howe resolve itself into a Ccman'tee of the whole House to can-ider of the Acts rels'ine to the Trade in Corn." The Tories will. there fare, shortly be called upon to logislate on their darling Corn-law. Now, " the quest,.'m is made to turn upon the interests of the lar o or farmers ; whereat," says their oracle, and it says truly , " the only safe and rational way of dealing with the subject is to ask, What arc the interests of the millions?" If we may judge by the howls .anti the groans which the announcement of the inteation of the Ministers ettorted from the Times' " scoundrels," we should think that they are not yet prepared to legislate ote the Corn law, or, indeed, on any question involving the ri g hts and the happiness of the "millions," in "the only sa. re and ra tional way" of dealing with it.. What are " the im•erests of the millions," when plarNed in the scale against the " inte rests" of the hundreds ? Nothing. absolutely no not even " the small dust iv the balance.' The ho wling and the groaning with which the Torie s rent the a ir of the House of Commons, on F(..day evening, were, luny ever, symptomatic of the fears w ith which they sere seized . Lett the success of the 'VW:aerial modificati an of the Corn- ) aw should deprive them of Lion of the pull, or, rather , of the ,mouth .tax which they now levy on the millions." _Let the Minis ters bring forward a bold, a well-c3ns.idered altera tionf in the Corn-law ; let them,' having onco brought it e orwa el, take their stand firmly upon it, ee:ther giving way to the solicitations of their friends nor t o the thre it enings of the enemies—let them, in short , i n dealin g with the Corn-,.

WANT OF RESIDENT S'ZIRGEONS IN TH% Lownew Hosrri:ALs.—Mr. Baker helioin inquest yesterday at the Duke of Susses:. Rosemary-lane, on Phil li p Me y er, a g ed' 36, a dock labourer. ..)i;.'ie Meyer . , of No. 7, Star-court, Rose wry-lane, said deceased wag her husband, and that on Tuesday morning last, about six o'cloc,!s, whilst chopping wood with a hatchet, he chopped off the fore finger of his left ;sand at the top joint. He directly went to S. lhomas's Hospital, where he said lie was kept waiting an hour betvre he saw a medical officer, and when he did his finger was.merely dressesi with common strapping, and he was told to call again on the foßovr ing morning._ He again went, and the same species of dressing was repeated, and nothing more done. Next( The.rsday) morn. ing he was seized with violent and rapid internal psi,' 5, and soots after his jaws became firmly locked. Mr. Jenkins, aneighbour ing surgeon, was called in. who tried all he could unavailingly for the recovery of deceased, as he died at noon the sense day. Mr. Jenkins, surgeon, said that deceased died of tetanus, or lock-jaw, caused by the injury to the finger. If deceased had consulted him in the first instance he should have poultice,ithe wound and not strapped it with adhesive plaster. The Jory considered that hospitals were left too much to the care of how* pupils, and they hoped soon to see a legislative enactment passed that would enforce the residence in our hospitals of well-qualified and experienced practitioners. They then re turned the fallowing verdict—" Accidental death, and that it was to be exceedingly regretted that deceased had not received prompter surgical assistance at. St. Thomas's Hospital." THE HURRICANE OF SUNDAY.—On ,Sunday about four o'clock, the wind blew a ,eerfect hurricane at Black heath, Charlton, &c., and very cons:derable damage-has beet* done to the ornamental trees, shrubberies, outhouses, &c., its Sir T. Maryon Wilson's Park, the Countess of Buckinglians shire's, and other gentleman's seats. So severe was the gale that nine of the most splendid elm trees in the park, and not exceeded for size and beauty in the county of Kent, were blown up in the space of two minutes, and were in that short period laid by their heads in the same direc tion, tearing up the ground to the depth of at least five feet. The gale rose to an immense 1 teight very suddenly, and appears to have done no mischief, ex cept in the line which it took from W. S. W., but in that parti,sular line, for a certain distance, it was irresistible. A person named Tuffnell had a narrow escape, a large tree havingbeon blown down upon him in the Woolwich Common-road, leading to the Dover-road, the upper branches brushing him as it fell. At the Countess of Buckinghsmshire's a piece of consent coping, weighing 301b5., was carried fifteen yards from the top of the eoachhouse, the outhouses, &e., being destroyed. At H e nry Longlands, Esq., a remarkable fine cedar, two elms . , and other valuable trees, were torn up 'by the roots. No damage wss done in the river, nor have we heard of any life be ing sacri ficed during this terrific but, fortunately, shortly e ontinued hurricane.
