PRICE sd. PUBLICATIONS CORN-LA WS: PORTUGAL. His Excellency Sir Howard Douglas has convoked for the Sth of March an extraordinary meeting of the seventh Parliament. It will not excite surprise to say that this news is not a little terrifying to the lonian people, since fatal experience allows them to augur no good from an un pected convocation of a body which has lost their confi dence. Numerous conjectures are formed on the subject, among which the most probable one appears that the Codes are to be put into temporary execution. If this conjecture be true, what fresh misfortune will not fall upon the lonian people, and with what new shame will not the un blushing seventh Parliament be covered. While a number of citizens groan in dungeons, and others have beer, hanged and guillotined by virtue of a transitory penal law, that is to say, a law which exists to-day and to morrow may be no longer in force, the lonians must now sec not only their personal safety, but their property and their commerce subject to the regulatioui of a transitory law. The criminal, ch il, and commercial codes put into tem porary execution 1 Oh this monstrous, unheard of example in the annals of legislation coufd never be seen but in the lonian States I But were not these same codes passed by ac clamation a short time ago by this said assembly ? The world was thunderstruck to perceive that a nation was shortly to be governed by laws unexamined, undiscussed, but adopted by acclamation, and great impatience was shown for the appearance of this master-niece of legisla tion. Does not acclamation imply the idea of a possible perfection ? What adverse destiny will then induce this same assembly to retract their own work by giving tempo rary force to those codes which a few mouths ago they passed with acclamation ? :TED* RHO H the Ang" TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, A ' the 14th of April, the day fixed for the ELECTION of SIX DIRECTORS, is now close at hand, I take the liberty of most earnestly renewing my solici tations for the honour of your support on that occasion ; and, in so doing, I beg respectfully to remind you that my preten sions to your favour are founded on a period of thirty years' employment in the Civil Service of the East India Company, which finally terminated by my having been entrusted with the charge, for four years, of the hig hest and most important branch of your affairs in China. I may further add, that a long and intimate knowledge of Indian intrrests, with which I have been connected from the earliest period of my life, induces me to hope you will confide in me for the future exertion of my best energies in promoting the moral, religious, and temporal prosperity of India. The strong as-urances of support I have received from all quarters since the last Election, enable me to look forward to the result of the present contest. with the most confident hopes of success, and I have only to express my warmest thanks to my supporters, and to request a continuance of their kind exertions until the termination of the Ballot. I have, in accordance with the usual practice on such occa sions, inserted the names of the Five Ex-Directors with my own in the Ballotting Lists ; and also in the Proxy Papers, which I shall shortly have the honour to transmit to you, and I must trust to the kind indulgence of such Proprietors upon whom I have net been able recently to call, to pardon this seeming negligence on my part ; the .great press of business attendant on such a canvass, will, I feel confident, plead my best apology.

SOME ACCOUNT OF MiY COUSIN NICHOLAS. By THOMAS INGOLDSBY, Esq., Author of " The Ingolthby Legends, &c. To which is added, IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF LANCASTER. LisaoN, Matteis 30.—Since the sudden adjournment of the Cortes, on the 22d, we have had nothing but quarrels and intrigues, which bid fair to break up the new Special Finance Committee, and to defeat the objects for which the adjourn ment was effected. The financial state of the country being obvious to all, and the necessity of sacrifices from all being equally apparent, it was considered that, by selecting a Com mittee from all sides, whateverplans were agreed to would come with greater authority before the Chambers and the public. Notwithstanding, however, that the difficulties in which the coantry is situated might have been expected to have put a step fur a moment to the virulent spirit of party, it did not turn out so. Several of the members refused to serve. Viscount Sa ' dx Bandeira, Baron Chaneelleiros (M. A. de Carvalho), and Senhor Sousa e Azevedo, at once resigned, and the Duke of Palmella, owing to a quarrel about a personal question, also threatened to retire, and Senhors Soure, Avila, Falcao, and Viscount Ponto Corvo, were also stated by the Septembrista papers to have declined to act on various grounds. The Committee met, however, yesterday, and though things are still far from being in a satisfactory state, I hear this morning that the Duke has not resigned, and that three respectable persons, Senhor Tavares, Proenea, a senator, and Senhors Pinto Ma,galhaes, President of the Chamber of Deputies, and Pestana, the Vice-President, will be appointed in place of those members who have retired. `lhe next object will be to decide upon what new taxes can be borne with least difficult y , a subject that must be grappled with, if the coun t r y i s ever t o be really regenerated and to see its fallen credit restored. The late Finance Minister presented various projects by which he calculated that he should receive an addition of 720 contos, besides 200 more by the better col lection of the decima of these projects; one, the partial resto ration of the seignorial duties is highly unpopular, and has been formally withdrawn by the Government. Another, that of taxing raw produce, is strangely at variance with the pro tection sought to be given to manufacturing interests here by high duties on foreign goods; and the third is to raise 300 con tos by a graduated personal tax, which, in principle at least, appears unobjectionable. By whatever means these 900 cantos can be raised, they would suffice to bring the in come and expenditure on a.level, allowing for the payment of only one-half of the dividends on the foreign debt, which state of things, however, no minister that desires to see the credit of Portugal restored could take as the basis of his calcu lations. I am convinced that it is by no means impossible for Portugal to pay all its debts by a proper system of retrench ment, &c., under a strong Government, that could really enforce the collection of the decima and other imposts at present, though estimated year after year, first at 2,400, then at 2,000, then at 1,600, and last at 1,400, the decima has never brought in above 1,200 contos, if so much, which is mainly to be attributed to the weakness of suc cessive Governments, and the faulty system of collection. There was a review on Sunday at Campo Grande, at which the garrison of this capital, the Municipal Guard, and the new national battalions were present. The regular troops present were—the 2d and 30th Cacadores; 10th, 12th, 16th, and 17th Infantry, naval battalion ; Municipal Guard, horse and foot ; Lancers, two batteries of artillery, &c., about 3,000 altogether. The national battalions mustered between 3,000 and 4,000, being the Ist and 2d commercial battalions, I st and 2d Queen's volunteer's, Ist and 2d National Cacadores and National Ar tillery. Count Farrono, as Colonel of the Lisbon National, with a squadron of the same, acted as Guard of Honour to the Queen. The troops marched front their barracks at noon, and were first drawn up at Campo Piqueno, whence they marched at 2 r. at. to Campo Grande, where they Were in spected by the King, attended by the Minister of War, Count Avilez Aortas, and a numerous staff. The Queen and the the young Prince rode in an open carriage along the ranks, and were very well received. An immense multitude left Lisbon to see the show, " half Lisbon was there." There is a talk of the national battalions, who made a very respectable figure at the review, being sent away on furlough for the present. The Spanish Minister, Senor Aguilar, arrived by the Oporto steamer on Friday, and was presented yesterday to the Queen. The Triticulo left yesterday for Gibraltar. The Espoir re mains here, with the French corvette, and Swedish brig Oscar. There have been all sorts of rumours about republican move ments in the south of Spain, and this morning a revolution a Cadiz was reported to have taken place. The Cadiz Papers say merely that at Xeres, some days since, some of the Na tional Guards drank a toast to the republic at a banquet, and some disturbance took place, but that the great majority en tirely disapproved their proceedings. The Leeds steamer, which takes this letter, leaves one day behind time. She only arrived on Wednesday from England, but left the same evening.for Gibraltar, whence she returned this morning, and takes the mail at two r.ar. to-day. WED Colchester. A meeting of the electors of Lancaster was held on Monday evening, in the Music-hall, to receive a deputation from the Council of the National Anti-Corn-law League. This was one of a series of visits which the active members of that spirited body intend to pay to those constituencies which are represented by bread-taxers. A fear days previous to the day of meeting, the Council dispatched one of their Lec . - turers, Mr. Murray, to Lancaster, who procured a copy of the last registry, and addressed a circular to every elector, 1,356 in number, inviting them to meet the deputation, and request ing them to present the circular for admission at the door; and at the same time he sent a parcel of tracts, including Lord Fitzwilliam's Address to the Farmers, to each. The Parlia mentary borough extends seven miles into the country, and includes in its electoral body a good many f rmers and fisher men. As the latter were supposed to be very much preju diced against the repeal of the Corn law, Mr. Murray devoted his evenings to the task of lecturing in the neighbodring vil lages. He found everywhere willing listeners, and a cordial response to his appeals. A very great change has come over the opinions of the rural population in the neighbourhood during the last year. Last Spring, when the Lancaster Anti- Corn-law Association sent petitions into the neighbouring vil lages for signature, their agents were driven out and threat ened with violence. The rural population are now eager to sign petitions for the immediate abolition of the food monopoly. The Deputation, consisting of Messrs. Brooks, Cobden, and Prentice, of Manchester ; Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., of Li verpool; and the Rev. Edward Hawkes, deputed by the spi rited Anti-Corn-law Association of Kendal, were met at the Royal Oak by a Committee of the most influential men of the borough, and at seven o'clock they adjourned to the place of meeting. JOHN ARMSTRONG, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair; he explained briefly the objects of the Meeting, and called upon Mr. Brooks to speak. Mr. BROOKS is an extensive merchant and calico printer, who filled the office of boroughreeve of Manchester last year. He addressed the Meeting in a very effective strain, pointing out the origin of the corn law, and showing by prac tical illustrations drawn from his own business the evil opera tion of the landowner's monopoly. Mr. HEYWORTII (who is the President of the Total Ab stinence Society of England,) next addressed the Meeting in a warm and feeling manner. He said he was entirely inde pendent of business, and took up the advocacy of the abolition of the bread tax as a great moral and religious question— one that concerned not merely the manufacturers—not merely the people of England—but the nations of all the earth.— The question was not one of to-day, but for all time and for eternity. He addressed himself particularly to the friends of the poor, and pointed out very clearly the way in which scarcity of food invariably caused a reduction of wages. He contended that all classes of society had one common interest in the removal of this great injustice. Mr. Heyworth spoke at great length, and with considerable eloquence, and the earnestness and benevolence of manner which characterized his address won the hearts of his audience, who frequently responded to his appeals with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. PRENTICE took up the agriculturists' view of the ques tion, and asked the farmers present what became of their sons and daughters ? He said he was himself the son of a Scotch farmer, and he instanced from amongst farmers of his acquaintance cases in which nine children had been put out to trade by their parents, whilst the eldest only of the whole family was retained upon the, farm, and he asked his audience whether those farmers had not nine times as great an interest in the prosperity of trade as of agriculture ? This view of the question seemed to excite a lively interest in the Meeting, a portion of which were of the agricultural class. Ess el ' i Vo 7 ' ofe, at the :00 : ; Turner, THE RUBBER OF LIFE.

ZaNTE, FEB. 10, 1841.—The Zacynthians shocked at the charge brought by Sir H. Douglas against them, as well as the inhabitants of the other Islands, of disaffection towards Great Britain, took advantage of the first oppor tunity to protest their attachment add affection for the English nation, by presenting an address of .congratula tion on the happy event of the birth of the first-born daughter of her Majesty, their most gracious protectress, in which address they petitioned fur an improvement of their political condition. Never was there an address signed with greater readi ness and enthusiasm. The citizens ron in crowds to affix their signatures to a paper which, though projected by private individuals, was by them fully approved. And so great was the throng and the zeal that in the very short space of five dap, in a population of thirty-five thousand, more then nine thousand persons, among whom the tiret were my Lord Metropolita and several in office, mani fested their attachment to the nation which protects them, and the hopes of a better future. The Government, however, enraged that the support ers of the opposition should know and teal their duties better than itself, and perceiving at the same time that her Majesty would read in that document an undeni able contradiction of the false assertions of Sir Howard, prepared in haste a counter-address, which taking away the request of improvement, and substitu ting declarations of full satisfaction with the actual condi tion of affairs, was nearly a copy of one which all the ci tizens had already signed. What, then, were the surprise and astonishment of ail classes of people, to percAre, that breaking through all regard, the Government declared itself so plainly the enemy of its own country, by endea vouring to interrupt in so unbecoming a mariner the sen timents of a spontaneous congratulation which the people wished to offer to their Queen, and by placing itself in a hostile attitude between an entire populati o n sad its exclu sive Protectress. 8, Devonshire-place, 29th March, 1841.

Mr. COBDEN next addressed the meeting, and alluded to the systematic efforts to mislead the working class upon the subject of wages. He said he generally found the older men amongst the operatives to entertain very correct notions upon the Corn-law, but a number of designing or ignorant persons had latterly persuaded the young men—the lads—that a cheap loaf meant a reduction of wages. He said, we must teach these boys from the lessons of our better experience. He had paid for the last ten years more than 20,0001. a year in wages, And he had never varied his scale of wages one farthing during all that time. His men got the same in 1835, when wheat was 395. 4d. a quarter, as they did in 1839, whea it was up to 755. Mr. Cobden created roars of laughter by quoting a pa ragraph from the Lancaster Gazette, the Tory paper, relating to the last anniversary dinner of the Lancaster Agricultural Society, in which the editor very naively confessed that the great want at those dinners was the presence of the farmers, and he recommended a cheap dinner to suit their circum stances ! The tie of this unlucky admission made by Mr. Cobden, seemed to convince the farmers present, if they had mot been previously satisfied by Mr. Prentice, that they de rived no benefit from the Corn-law. n o- of Ye el 'y o rh" k r eg atee r pf ;shire, APT. den 4 ° 4 s till s at e l e vesl , 0 3 4 ie, oar , -b el ' t the at twos 110 , 0 Enar", l 2 ur gers .

PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRIA CUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immoder ate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obsi.inate gleets, invo luntary emissions, excesses, irregularity, obqt Evictions of certain evacuations, weaknecs, total incompetency, barrenness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy rr.eans of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great Tr amber to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkably for its efficacy in all disorders of the dgestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent. state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervsmrs. In such per sons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recom mended to the Practitioner and the Public is composed of articles known to be the most anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient kn ,wn to the profession, as the only certain antidow for Fevers of every description. When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situatirns, or putrid miasma, whether malignant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its operation and effects, it produces the most gentle and sanatory perspiration, and by a specific quality, pe cu li ar to itself, not only expels the disease, but restores and invigorates the system. Those celebrated Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their invariable effects, of numbers of the nobility, gentry, and medical men of this Kingdom, and the extensive demand for them from the West Indies, and America, prove that in those countries they are held in equal estimation.

The Rev. E. HAWKEs said he had been anticipated by Mr. Heyworth in the expression of his strong opinion that not merely the temporal interests of the world at large, but the eternal welfare of the poor was largely involved in the ques tion of the Corn law, which tended constantly to the physical and moral degradation of the people. He had striking ex amples constantly before him in Kendal of the sufferings of the working class, consequent upon the want of employment and the high price of food, and, believing that these sufferings were occasioned by the Corn-law, he felt it his duty at all times, as a Christian minister, publicly to proclaim the wicked ness and injustice of that law. The CHAIRMAN, at the close of these addresses, invited discussion, and said the deputation would be glad to answer any objections or reply to any questions. A person of the name of Earle delivered himself of a num ber of stock fallacies about foreign competition, the national debt, taxation, &c., which were satisfactorily disposed of. After which a resolution was moved by THOMAS ESKER RIGGE, Esq., and seconded by G. JACKSON, Esq., and car ried unanimously in favour of establishing an Anti-Corn-law Registration Society, to promote the return of Members pledged to the immediate abolition of the corn and provision laws. _ _ A vote of thanks to the Deputation was moved by W. SATTERTB WAITE, Esq., and seconded by MooRE, Esq., and carried by acclamation. After which thanks were voted to the Chairman. The meeting then gave three times three deafening cheers for the abolition of the Corn-law, and separated. The place of meeting was crowded to excess, and we un derstand a majority of the registered electors were in the room. Amongst the leading gentlemen of the borough pre sent, we observed, T. H. Higgins, Esq., R. Dunn, Esq., Dr. John'on, R. F. Housman, Esq., T. Eskrigge, Esq., G. Jackson, Esq., Moore, Esq., &c., &c. The Deputation declared that they had not on any occasion met a more en ththiastic reception, and the oldest inhabitant of Lancaster certainly never beheld so influential a meeting in the borough. The Anti-Corn-law League have now done their duty, and the Electoral body are evidently prepared to do theirs. It will test with the more influential men of the borough to take the lead, and to follow up the holy war against selfishness and injustice, so gloriously begun by the men of Manchester. We understand the League are preparing to visit the Elec tors of all the neighbouring boroughs. We devoutly say— God speed them in their righteous efforts. SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. In the course of Tuesday information was received in the City of the loss of the following vessels, which we regret to state was attended with loss of life : On Saturday last the coast throughout the kingdom was visited with a severe hurricane, which occasioned considerable damage amongst the shipping, independently of the loss of the undermentioned vessels. The Britannia schooner, from St. Ives, Captain Hayes, was lost on Saturday, on the rocks under Trevethick cliff, near Padstow, Cornwall. At the time she was wrecked she was endeavouring to get into the harbour under full sail, when the force of the gale drove her on the above-named rocks. The coast guard and inhabitants of Padstow, observing the dangerous position of the vessel, and being convinced that she must become a complete wreck, at the same finding that it was totally impossible to put off in their boats without running the hazard of a fate similar to that of Lieut. Smith and his crew a short time since, on the same coast, from the immense surge, resorted to the apparatus of Captain Manby, firing rockets to the Britannia. So perfect was the aim that the first rocket which was fired reached the deck, when a haw ser was attached to the rocket line, and hauled ashore ; the dis tance from the beach to the vessel was upwards of a quarter of a mile. A communication being thus made, a cradle was fixed to the line, by which means the whole of the crew, con sisting of seven persons, were safely landed. Shortly after the preservation of the crew, the bottom of the vessel broke up, when the cargo, consisting of coals, was washed out, and subsequently the vessel became a total wreck. On the 18th of last month the ship Globe, belonging to Bath, on her voyage from that place to New York, was lost off the Bahamas. She had on board 1,260 bales of cotton, and was insured to the amount of 600/. ; her value is, however, considerably above that sum. The whole of the crew and passengers were saved. On the 27th of last month, the vessel called the Heureuse Julienne, belonging to Vannes, for Rouen, was totally lost on the coast of Loch, near Quimper. Three of the crew were lost. On Thursday, the Ist. inst., during the gale the smack Wellington, of Skerries, Grimsley, master, in making for the harbour of Drogheda struck upon the bar and became a total wreck. The crew consisted of seven persons, all of whom got into the boat, but in the attempt to reach the shore the boat, from the heavy surf, got swamped, when five of the poor fellows met a watery grave. The ill-fated smack was bound for Dublin, and had a freight of potatoes on board. On the night of the 18th of last March the brig Rinaldo, Captain Parsons, from Gloucester to New York, was lost off the Bahama Islands, but the crew were saved. The vessel is insured for 1,5001. On the 22d of March the schooner Mary Ann Belton, Faulkner master, was lost at St. Michael's as was also the Mary Ann, Captain Carter, off the same place a few days afterwards. Both of the vessels were laden with oranges and lemons. The crews were happily saved. In the course of last week accounts were received of the loss of four other vessels in the Atlantic during the prevalence of the hurri cane. They were all outward-bound from London to New York. Amongst them were the brig Leo, Captain Haley, laden with a general cargo; and the brig Samaritan, for New York ; and Havannah, from Greenock. The crews of both these vessels were saved. The loss sustained by the shipping interest during the last month on the English coast is estimated at several hundred thousand pounds. On Sunday afternoon the potboy at the Victory, the corner of the Canal-road, Kingsland-road, who went there by the name of George Weston, but whose name is Benjamin Carter, suddenly left the house, winch is in the occupation of Mrs. Worboys, a widow, when it was found that he had taken away 1501. in sovereigns. They were in the bedroom of Mrs. Worboys, who had placed them there for safety shortly before shte went to church. He was seen in the room by the servant girl, who told him that he had no business there, and he was soon after observed to scale the back wall, by which means he escaped. He is well known on the other side of the water, having once followed the trade of a tanner. Yesterday Mrs. Worboys had a letter sent to her by the prisoner, in which he states that his father is an Esquire, whom he formerly offended, a ad that he wanted the money to equip himself in order to pay a visit to hi§ father ; and he concludes with saying that he will let her have the money in a short time. Kemp, an officer of the N division, has been in pursuit of the prisoner since the robbery. A reward of 501. is offered for his apprehension. At the Middlesex Sessions on Monday, Morley, th e notorious impostor, who feigns to be deaf and dumb, a as sentenced to be imprisoned in the House of Correc ti on for twelve months, with hard labour, for having audulently obtained from the Baroness de Rothschild a eisnation of Is. The Secretary to the Mcndicity Society said, that after the defendant had come out of prison on the last occasion he had applied to him for an appointment to, ono of the officers of the Association. OXFORD, MONDAY EVENING.—The Tract agitation increases. Every nerve is strained by the party to repair the blow they have received, and to intimidate their opponents. Professor Sewell has published a postscript, disavowing his supposed objections to the Tracts, and as serting that the proclamation of the Hebdomadal Board is not entitled to be regarded as the act of the University. The party openly boasts that, had the matter been referred to Convocation, a majority would have supported. the Tract objected to, and a declaration is now in the course of signature both in Oxford and among the non-resident clergy, expressing " a grateful acknowledgment of the eminent services of the Tractites in recalling public attention to the dis tinctive principles maintained by the Church of England !" On the other hand, Mr. Wilson's (one of the four tutors) reply to Mr. Newman has severely affected the credit of the -.leaders, and great disgust is also - the jesuitical attempt of the latter to implicate the Bishop of Oxford in the charge of having sanctioned the Tracts previous to the appear ance of No. 90. Undoubtedly intrigue has been at work, and still is, at work, to cajole and intimidate the Bishops, who are less active than the crisis demands ; but even the Primate is said to be at length impressed with the serious appearance of things, and is currently believed to have insisted on the Lambeth librarian, Mr. Maitland, withdrawing himself from the Anglo-Catholic society, of which Drs. Pusey and Hook are principal members. Unless, however, the laity throughout the country rouse themselves. there are good reasons why the Primate should shrink from the inconvenience he would feel in disconnecting himself front parties with whom it is un derstood that he has been long associated by the ties of private friendship. Dr. Wiseman's letter, just published, demonstrates that there is absolutely no difference between the teaching of Oxford and the Vatican. NEW AND SUCCESSFUL OPERATION FOR ANEUKism.—An operation in a very serious and almost hope less case of aneurism was lately successfully performed by Mr. Skey, of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, in the presence of Sir Benjamin Brodie and other eminent survons, the result of which has been much talked of in medical circles. The gentle man who was the subject of the operation is the Rev. D. Pretyman, Rector of Middleton, in Oxfordshire ; and the aneurism to be removed (which may be popularly described as the formation of a dangerous sac upon the blood vessel) was situated on the sub-clavian artery, a fearful locality. Ordinarily, an operation of this nature occupies from thirty minutes to an hour, the result being in the majority of cases fatal, in consequence of great loss of blood and total prostration of animal vigour. In the pre sent instance the operation was performed in ten minutes, and the loss of blood was only two ounces, circumstances which are due to an entirely novel method of performing it. Mr. Skey conducted the operation by first making an incision in the neck downwards, above the clavicle, the muscular fibre being afterwards; gradually divided (slit) by a silver knife, until the seat of the disease was reached, and the aneurism removed. This mode of performing the operation is to be looked upon as a great step in surgery, the ordinary method of making the incision in the lower part of the neck, and di viding the carotid veins and artery, exposing the patient to the serious evils previously mentioned. So unexpected was the recovery of the Rev. Mr. Pretyman that on his arrival at the rectory the bells were set ringing, and the parishioners made general holidq. AIR. ADAMS S ORRERY.—Mr. Adams has commenced his popular lectures on Astronomy, and will con tinue them during the present week and Easter week, at the Adelphi Theatre. These lectures were, we believe, originally delivered at the Italian Opera-house, and attracted a good deal of attention from those who are desirous to become ac quainted with astronomical science by the easiest means, and - who have not time to make a long study of it. The lectures :are, as usual, illustrated with very good apparatus, and with .a transparent orrery, by means of which information is im parted in an easy and agreeable manner , and an impression . s :made upon the memory, through the e y es, which it will be :almost impossible to forget. To those who have some know ledge from reading of the science, this orrery and apparatus will supply what mere reading can with difficulty convey, and to young persons of both sexes who have not the advantages of a scientific education, and to whom mathematical learning is unknown, they will be found exceedingly useful. The doc trine of the tides, of the eclipses, and of the orbit of the stars and heavenly bodies, are clearly explained by the lecturer, and there is this good feature attending the explanations, that whilst they are sufficiently clear to suit. all capacities, they are not riade pantomimic by the introduction of unnecessary scenery and grotesque representations. They are very fit to instruct oung persons who are at home for the Easter vacation. D EST RUCTIVE PI RE.—Yesterday morning, at a quarter before nine o'clock, the manufactory of Mr. 'turner, No. 46, Myddleton-street, floor-cloth and table-cover manu facturer, caught fire. The men in the employment of Mr. '.turner had left a quarter of an hour before the conflagration t roke cut, and there was then no appearance of fire. When the flames were discovered they were issuing from the drying room, in which was a flue, and the calamity is ascribed to that being overheated. Information was promptly sent to the station-house of the G division in Rosamon-street, when a policeman was sent off in a cab to the different fire-engine sta tions, and in about a quarter of an hour five or six engines were at the spot, with Mr. Braidwood, their superintendent ; but by the time they had reached there the extensive manu factory was in a blaze, and nearly the whole of the property consumed. By the great exertion of the firemen the flames were prevented from extending to the adjoining houses. AFFLICTING AND FATAL ACCIDENT TO A SON IN THE PRESENCE OF HIS MOTHER.—On Tuesday evening, about six o'clock, the following afflicting and fatal accident occurred to a fine lad, named John Cannon, fourteen years of age. lie was in the employ of Mr. Corkhill, of the buke of Clarence, Rotherhithe, as pot-boy. His mother and sister called upon him that afternoon, and he accompanied them to the Grand Surrey Canal Dock, for a walk. Being acquainted with a young man named James Garbutt, on board the ship Ann and Eliza, he went on hoard, and to amuse his He at last another and sister, began to ascend the rigging. reached the fore top gallantmast-head, and from thence slid down the stay to the main-topmast cross-trees. The stay not being taught, he could not reach the cross-trees; and being suspended by his hands, called out save me, save me. His mother, who witnessed his peril, cried out for assistance, and. Garbutt and a man named Bates s imultaneously ascended to his aid, but ere they could reach him he let go his hold, and fell on the deck, a depth of upwards of 70 feet. The unfortu nate lad lingered only until eleven o'clock the same evening, when he died. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY.-- Among the many improvements making, besides the Royal Exchange, is the extension of the Blackwall Railway from the Minories to Fenehurch-street, where will shortly be the principal en trance. The property pulled down to effect this object is very considerable, as many large shops in the Minories, and exten sive mercantile premises will be purchased and pulled clown ; hundreds of men are employed day and night building the foundation, over which will pass the iron viaducts up to Fen chureh-street, crossing where Gould-square once stood, C oope rs -row CrAteliedFriars,passing the East India warehouses. At the top of the Minories and Ald'ate the houses ale im mediately to be pulled down for the City improvements leading xo Biihopsgate and the north-western parts of the metropolis. The people evinced their indignation, and refused to sign ; the Government acted shamefully, and vexations b - gan mose violent and imprudent than ever. An acting Justice of the Peace, Dr. Antonio Stravopodi, brother in-law to the most excellent Regent, was seen holding the address, and smiling graciously upon the contending par ties, who were waiting the decision of their came, requesting them previously to affix their signatures. The Municipal Officer of Provisions, Mr. Antonio Micalizzi, law also of the Regent, accompanied by Mr. Zavrandino, a third brother-in-law of the same personage, was teen running about the city, and obliging tavern-keepers, fish mongers, bakers, eheesemongers, &c., to sign it. Those who complied through fear were rewarded by an inctesse of price on their various articles, while the recusants were subjected to fines, and compelled to close their shops and taverns. Lastly, the quintessence of dregs, the contrac tor for salt, whose despicable name our pen refuse; to trace, was seen with the address on his table, impudently threatening to refuse a supply of that necessary article to the poor countrymen who refused to subscribe their names. By these and sirrilar means the disturbtr of public order, the designing exciter of scandalous scenes, the present Government, succeeded in adding to the signatures of the police a very limited number of names, among which, to the surpri e of none, again appeared first and foremost those of my Lord Metropolita and the persons in office, who the preceding day had spontaneously signed another address on a similar subject, but of a different tendency. The fullouing letter, referring to the same subject, has just been forwarded to us : TO THE EDITOR OF 7'HE SUN. Sir.,—Previously to quitting th e l on i an Islandr, and during this kind of interregnum, Sir Howard Dougla3 is determined to gt;v:i still further and indelible proof.; of the plenitude of his power. After having caused to be inserted in the lonian Gazette, as a warning to the emplo)6 , , an opinion a'tributed to Washington,* he ordered the Senate to dismiss from their offices several persons of known in tegrity and talent, whose consciences would not permit them to put their names to the Address which Sir Howard got up last year, as an expression of the gratitude of the lonian people [after his warm eulogy of them in his despatch of the 10th April, 1840] for bia pa ternal anxiety to promote the welfare of these States, and as a declaration of their conviction that every charge against such a benefactor is purely a machination of ca lumny. Nor was this sufficient : he wanted to make ev,n spiritual authority subservient to his purpose ; consequently the dignitaries of the Church, who, knowing the words of the Address to be untrue, would not injure their character by attesting them with their signature, were made to feel his wrath. Such is Oil conduct of Sir Howard Douglas in the lonian Islands, and of that winch is required from the em ployes, as well as from the clergy themseli es. Let it be observed, also, that at the inauguration of the last Par liament, the employes were confirmed in their tacos, and have, therefore, a right to enjoy the advantrgcs arising therefrom during the entire quiuquennium. Can it, then, be assened that the citizens concurred spontaneously in augmenting the number of signatures affixed to addresses under such circumstances ? Is it not evident that violence was done to the freedom of opinion, and that such repeated acts corrupt the pevle, teaching and authorizing them to practise lying, and to a'test, in opposition to their conscience, things which are not true ? Hence it is, that, restrained b y the unlimited power of the police, the people cannot obey the impulse of their will, even in seeking redress for but a portion o f tl i,e i r . nume rous grievances. It for this reason that they dare not, although privately , gi v e the i r signatures e ven on oc casions the most lawful and obligatory. If the people wish to address an avowal of gratitude to their august Protectress, unless the whole thing is under the direction of the agents of the Government, to sign it is a dime, and all who take part in the aff a i r b ecome, h enceforth , marked men. The dismissals of which we have spoken are used also for the purpose of intimida ieg those passive individuals who readily yield to authori y ; as it is whispered that a new address is to be prep trod in favour of Sir Howard. Sir Howard Douglas has, however, committed rather a blunder by quoting the opinion of Washington. Every body knows what principles that great man possessed and supported, and what are the principles entertained by Sir Howard, principles diametrically opposed to those of his own couutry and Government, and leading him to invade, as absolute monarch, the constitutional powers of the lonian Islands. We may, therefore, rightfully conclude, that those whom Sir Howard characterizes as ctemies of the lonian Go vernment are, on the contrary, the true friends of that Government, regarding it in the light of its true constitu tional principles, and not in a spirit of despotism ; and that Sir Howard, in persecuting all who r etain a s.thgle spark of liberalism, persecutes those who are net less the friends of his own, than of the lonian Government, such as it ouglit to be.

THE ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.-- Tuesday afternoon Lovegrove, who is supposed to be impli cated in the robbery, was examined. No reporters were ad mitted. It is understood that from the examination of the witnesses, nothing fixing guilt on Lovegrove was elicited. At the conclusion of the evidence he was remanded, and will be brought up again for e xamination next Monday.
