Tilt— LORD " MAYOR has appointed 7. 1 1- TT•ro.nnv, l r Ist of June, at Twelve for One o'elock prerisfl), for a MEETING of the ELECTORS of the CITY of LONDON, in GUILDHALL, to take into consideration the propriety of.PETITIONING PARLIAMENT for an ALTERATION in the present CORN-LAWS. AT a WARD MUTING, held this day, tl. before th e W ors hi p f u l Si r JA MES DUKE, Knight, •P., Alderman of the Ward, at the New Court, Old Bailey, (in Pursuance of a requisition signed by 400 of the inhabit ants), "to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning both Houses of Parliament to Repeal the Corn-laws, and to support such a judicious alteration of the protective and dif ferential duties as affect articles of the first necessity, by which the prices of food would be greatly reduced, trade and employment considerably increased, and the industrious and useful classes rendered prosperous and happy.' Resolved (with fonr dissentients)—That it is the opinion of this Ward Meeting that all monopolies of any of the necessary articles of life are highly injurious to the people, while they can operate only to the benefit of the few ; and that when such monopolies are supported by law, they become a t limn national grievances, and demand the united exertions of au Classes of the community to procure by every legal means their repeal ; and that this meeting considers the present gradu !tted' scale of duties on foreign corn is productive of great thittivy tO the manufacturing, commercial, and labouring popu lation of this country, not only by keeping up the price of b read, and all the necessaries of life, but by largely curtailing the foreign market s , an d great l y di m i n i s hi ng in ot h ers the Ilernand for British manufactures ; and that this meet • lug feels it a great improvement to establish a small gzed duty on all sorts of grain instead of the graduated I fale, and that the plan of commercial reform to lower the Pities on corn, sugar, and timber, and ultimately to establish free trade, will be a vast benefit to the industrious . l asses, by greatly increasing the public revenue, and promot ing.in the trade and commerce of the empire ; and that this ee ting pledge themselves to use their constant and best efforts to support and assist Government in their patriotic and laudable measures to destroy all monopolies by which trade, commerce, and manufactures have hitherto been crippled, in jured, and em b arrassed • and thus restore to the whole people the means of living comfortably and happy. lut e n s s olved (with four dissentients)—Th a t the foregoing Reso , as embodied, form petitions to both Houses of Parlia ,..ent, a n d that Lord Radnor be requested to present that to the ' l ouse of L or d s, and that Sir James Duke, the Alderman, do Present the p e ti t i on to the House of Commons ; and that the City Memb ers b e respectfully requested to support its prayer. ttßesolved (with one dissentient)—That in the event of the ouse of Commons impeding the passing of "the usual annual r Su gar' Duties" when moved by the Chancellor of the Exche ri Her M a j esty ' s Ministers be entreated to use every con situtional means in support of the vitally important financial aseasures which they have announced. Resolved unanimously —That the warm thanks of this Meet ing are due to the worthy Alderman of the Ward, and which varehiebereby to presented to him for the ready manner in. iro: d a u s c e t o i n n ve th n e ed ch th ai i r s . meeting, and for his able and im partialllesulved unanimously —That the above Resolutions, signed ".

" I hese which he terms " Patent Spect ac l es " are no ot h er than those of amber ; the history and destructive use of that mate tial for Spectacles to imperfect vision is fully and most satis factorily explained by the undermentioned scientific authority: From the " Dictionary of Arts and Sciences" of Andrew Ure, M.D., F.R.S., &c., &c. Amber is an indurated vegetable juice, and not produced FY the laws of crystallisation, but by the same causes which l i quence the mechanical condition of gum. Insects are often i' 4l, ,d embedded in it. Amber is most powerfully electrical jfiction—very hot, to such an extent as to explode into frag -6Z ; the workmen, too, are subject to nervous tremors in Sue ,' wrists, arms, & c . ; they encounter great danger by handling 4,:a„" to excited electrics ; amber grows with lime, and is r to take file, and is of such a soft nature when exposed to flan et that it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with D t he abo ve D r. Urn ' s statements are further confirmed by Sir initsrewster and Pli n y, as a l so b y P ar k s and Hems, on Che ties, y• . The destructive effects of such a material for specta- IL cirt n mp'.

The blow was wholly un expected, and will be most severely felt by the tradesmen of Shrewsbury, and by great numbers in every sphere of life in the immediate vicinity. For many years previous to his demise, which took place a few weeks ago, the acting partner in the firm was Mr, William Jones, and the other two (one of whom was known to have a very large pri vate property) now allege that they believed the bank not only to have been perfectly solvent, but to have been in as flourishing and prosperous a state as it had been in for years previous to Mr. Jones's death. An adjustment of affairs, satisfactory to the credito rs , i s pro mised at no distant date; but strange stories (to which, of course, we shall not give a tangible form) are in circulation as to a disposal of the private property alluded to having taken place, that will render the fulfilment of these pledges not quit e so certain or so speedy as could be wished. Trade throughout this district is in a most lamentable state, particularly in Coal brookdale, Wellington ' and all along the scat of the great iron works on the borders of Shropshire and Staffordshire ; a n d t h e stoppage of this bank following so close, too, on the heels of the failure of the Commercial—who had several branches in Shropshire—will tend materially to :hake publie credit, and consequently still further circumscribe. the little business that is at present being transacted. The liabilities of - P ri ce, Jones, and Edwards, are not yet known, but they are believed to be very heavy. Their London agents are Barnett, Hoare, and Co. —Times. 6rl.iiff,‘ , „r. fie .c • ) c * • - 100. • 0 \„ \- /' s' • - to • , " 4.4 , • 4 • e. 11 / / 0 ,*7 , g , ' "V\* .

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY: C HRONICLE.—The object of Sir Robert Peel's motion, announced for to-morrow evening, is to deprive the people of this country of their legitimate control over the management of their most important interests. It condemns the continu ance of Ministers in office, for the assigned reason that they "do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons, to enable them to carry through that House mea sures which they deem of essential importance to the public welfare." But the confidence of the House may be one thing, and the confidence of the nation another. Do the millions tell for nothing on questions affecting the means by which they live, the markets for their industry, the quantum of employment and consequent amount of wages, the price of every article of consumption, bread, meat, fish, sugar, and of many articles essential to their occupations ? Have the people no rights, has the nation no voice, on such questions ? In the present state of the representative body, the only constitu tional appeal is to those whom they claim to represent. There is, at any rate, a strong prima facie ease in favour of the policy which the proposed resolution, by implication, stigma tises. Does that deserve no respect from the members of her Majesty's Government? "No," replies Sir Robert (by the tenour of his motion), " you should disregard the people alto gether; a majority in favour of monopoly should make you throw up their cause without any further effort; you should resign, and hand over to us the powers of the State, that we may employ them for purposes which you believe alike hostile to the intelligence and interests of the nation." The adoption of such advice would be traitorous to the community. The occasion demands an expression of the people's prefer ence. Unless the old boroughmongering system be an excep tion, there has been a larger body of petitioners against the Corn-laws than ever before applied to the House of Commons for the redress of any grievance whatever. That which forfeits Sir Robert Peel's confidence secures the nation's confidence. The country has expressed its opinion by petitions ; it expresses that opinion from day to day with augmented earnestness; and yet the Tory leader has the modesty to ask Ministers to agree with him in ckpriving the country of its right to repeat by voting. and so mace the opinion if •has already Manifested by its petitions. He urges resignation as a duty, because it will deprive public opinion of its proper efficiency. Thus, the first st e p on th e l a dd er b y which it is hoped t o sca l e the heights of power, is made upon the substance of a national right. The intended preface of a Tory restoration is a gagging resolution. N or wou ld i ts cha racter be improved were Sir Robert Peel to declare his own purpose to be a dissolution immediately on his taking office. He is in this dilemma ; if he will not dissolve, he obstru c t s th e appropriate expr ess i on o f t h e pu b l i c mind, demanded by the exigency; and, if he will dissolve, his attempt to force Mi nisters to a resignation previou.ly, is pain intimation of a dis honest purpose. It implies the premeditation of unfair and corrupt practices to secure the results of an election. TIMES.—Sir Robert Peel has done no more than satisfy the general expectation of the country by the manly a n d de cided course which he h as t a k en i n the present crisis. A con stitutional principle of first-rate importance was at stake, and the effect of a weak or vacillating line of action might have been to establish a precedent of the most pernicious conse quence, and to break up the understanding which from 1688 to 1841 has settled the mutual relations of the legislative and exe cutive powers in Great Britain. What Ministers have been attempting for the last month is in truth nothing less than a coup d'etat—an endeavour to carry on the Government upon the strength of Court favour alone, in the face of an adverse majority in both kjousee,-,qf Parliament. Not only have they brought forward a finanOat s scheme of a n ove l c h aracter, a f ter the rejection df a hill 'Upon a most important subject, intro duced by themselves and supported by all their influence, but after that financial scheme has been repudiated by the House of Commons, they still persevere in the reso lution openly avowed by one of their Journalists, of " neither resigning nor dissolving, but carrying on the Government of the country." They . imagine that the House of Commons will tamely concede to them, under these circumstances, the privileges which, by prescrip tive usage, belong to the Ministers of the Crown ; will sub mit to arrangements of their making ; will suffer them to bring forward measure after measure from the Treasury benches, alter it has declared against their continuance in office by a greater majority than ever mustered in their favour. If those upon whom the Constitution has thrown the duty of resisting this bold experiment, had failed in its performance—if Sir Ro bert Peel had not given notice of a want-of-confidence resolu tion, to be moved with the smallest possible delay—if he had not determined, upon the success of that motion, in the event of Ministers attempting to meet Parliament again without an nouncing their resignations, to propose an address to the Crown for their immediate removal, and, in the event of a de nial or a dilatory answer to that address from the Crown, to take the conduct o f th e pu bli c b usiness in the House of Com mons entirely out of their hands--a severer blow would have been inflicted upon the British Constitution than it has ever suffered since the times of the Stuart dynasty. All parties, and all persons, of all shades of politics, who are capable of taking thought for the future, must rejoice that such a pre cedent has not been allowed to become established. Whigs would have deplored their own short-sighted infatuation hereafter, when they saw their own example followed by Tories. A Minister of sonie future Charles 11. might have maintained himself in office without a Parliamentary ma jority, under the sole shelter of prerogative, and would have pointed to Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell as those who first taught him the way ; and a revolution (for the stop page of supplies is a revolution) must have been resorted to, as the only remedy, as often as the judgment of the House of Commons came into collision with the personal inclinations of the Sovereign. ADVERTISER.—Like all the measures of the Peel-Tory policy, the proposed motion for a vote of want of confidence is an evasion—an evasion of the greater difficulty in which the Tories would be placed by a full, fair, and thorough discussion upon the Corn-laws. That it is a mere evasion is palpable, from its being thrust forward on Thursday, the day before the House breaking up for the Whitsuntide holidays, when it can not be discussed fully, and must therefore be adjourned. And yet, with all this laborious cunning, will the party really succeed in their object ? They may postpone the formal discussion of the Corn-laws, but still the odious doctrines of free trade, and all that constitute the policy of the Government, and makes it worthy of the confidence—if not of the House,— of the country, will b-eak forth. " But," says the wary politician, " the truths which you would by such a discussion disclose will be swamped by the ollapodrida of talk on every sort of thing besides, which we shall take care to introduce ; and thus the public will be confounded and in the mystification we shall escape." Not so, worthy tac ticians ; the debate will possibly last ten days or a fortnight ; the young and active energies on the Liberal side will apply themselves to unravel your exquisitely wrought fallacies and clap-traps, so that your latter day will be worse than the first. The public will judge between you and them—on that which is emphatically (if ever cause was) their own cause. The more we think of it, the more we relish the idea of this want-of-con fidence debate. Many thipgs which could not come out in a mere Corn-law debate, will find vent ; and besides, let us add, there will still remain behind, if we mistake not, the oppor tunity for the Corn-law debate too. It is, in short, the very best thing for the Ministerial party ' • and if we were not up to the tricks of the Tories, or a t least of their leader, we should say, the very worst for them. But, no doubt, he has his own personal objects in it. Let this be as it may, the motion is to be met, and met it will be, in a gallant spirit by the Liberals, who are chirping with delight at the idea of another good round battle with the enemies of public li berty. Fortunately, in the present case, Sir Robert Peel will take the lead. He must make out his case at the outset. There will be no drawing back to await the chances of the de bate. He must make out his case, ar be nonsuited, as the lawyers say. What will be his case? We apprehend, three fold ; past, present, and to come—that the Whigs have done much good, are doing much good, and will do, if they are per mitted, a great deal more—that, with all the opposition which the Tories have been able to offer, this good has been done ; but that now, the Tories being too much for them, it is quite unconstitutional to attempt to do more, and that they ought, therefore, to leave the field to the Tories, to do as much mis chief, or prevent as much good, as they can—that it was never heard of, in the times when the public liberties were bought and sold by the boroughmongers in the unreformed Parliament, that the Government held out after the transfer had beets ra tified by an Opposition, however factious—that the people are to be held of no accopnt in such matters, still less appealed to. This is the upshot of the nons e nse w hi c h th e Tories are held- ing forth ; but they do not believe that tho Ministers are such geese as to act upon it. POST.—There is a just and happy appriciation of the Eng lish character in the course nhich the distinguished leader of the Opposition has resolved upon. To combine boldness with prudence—resolution with reasonableness—is the charac teristic of the English nation. Therefore we may fairly cha racterise the brief resolution of which Sir Robert Peel has given notice as a national appeal. We are confident that it will be a successful one. He appeals not merely to the House of Commons, but also to the common sense and manly feeling of the nation. He says it is not constitutional that beaten men should meanly cling to the administration of public affairs, and the sense and Spirit of the country will respond that neither is it reasonable or consistent with the public safety and the national honour. For ourselves, that which we ad mire most in the resolution of which the Right Hon. Baronet has given notice is, as we have already said, its frankness, fair ness, and bold straightforward spirit. In a word, its utter op position, and absolute contradiction, to the character and habits of Whig-Radical policy. It asserts the plain truth with dignity and distinctness. It is honest without rudeness, and earnest without extravagance. But they who care less about these par ticularly English characteristic s of the resolution will perhaps be better disposed to dwell upon the constitutional and popular principles which it plainly asserts. Here arc Ministers who presume to retain office in defiance of the strongly-expressed disapprobation of Parliament. They have brought forward measures which they themselves confess, and all must acknow ledge, to be of a deeply important character, and fraught with deeply-important practical consequences. They hare been beaten upon the first of these measures in the House of Com mons, and they do not pretend to expect any better fate for those which are to follow. And yet they cling to office with out affording one word of explanation or apology for conduct so much at variance with the practice of the Constitution. 'fhey have not told the House that they mean to advise her 'Majesty to dissolve it. We believe they are afraid to do so. They are afraid to dissolve the Parliament, being well aware that the feeling of the country is against them, as well as the ma jorities of the Houses of Lords and Commons, but still they cling to office, relying on the partiality of the Court, and despising the constitutional rights of the people. This is the charge which the people have against these Ministers ; and the bold, prudent, hon es t s t e p upon w hi c h t h e l eader of the Op position has resolved is simply the first step in the assertion of the public liberties of the people of England. These liberties are in danger from the carelessly impudent course which a merely courtier Ministry h as a d o pt e d, and they are net the less so because atta c k e d i n an un d erm i n i ng - way . There 13 too much courage—too much manly spirit—in the British people ever to allow their constit u ti o nal libertie s to be taken from in them by open assault. Th e d anger t o these liberties lies the possibility o f th e i r beingsapped by treachery—by selfish machi na ti ons o f th ose w h o h ave the words of freee fb in their mouths, while their arts are i bul warks of freedom which the practice:of the up. Sir Robert Peel's resolution asserts n d efiance the right Constitu tion n f of the thosea of any House setcontinuance Government in England. This eight it is which the present Ministers practically contest. HERALD.—Her Majesty's M position.

REPRESENTATION OF MARY- LEBONE. Last evening a meeting of the electors of the Borough of Marylebone, residing in the district of Paddington, was held at the King and Queen Tavern, Paddington-green, for the purpose of receiving from the Reform candidate, Commodore Sir Charles Napier, an explanation of the grounds upon which he solicits their votes at the next election. At seven o'clock precisely, the chair was taken by Mr. Walsher, one of the late Churchwardens of the parish. The Gallant Commodore presently afterwards came into the room, and was greeted with much cheering. The CHAIRMAN said that the duty which he had to perform was a pleasing one. It was merely to introduce to them Sir Charles Napier, of whom they had heard so much for the last two years.—( Cheers.) It was not necessary for him to say anything for the Gallant Comodore, who would speak for him self.—( Cheers and laughter.) Sir C. NAPIER then role, amidst the most enthusiastic and prolonged cheering. He said, Gentlemen, you must be aware that the occupations which I have had for the last two years, make me perfectly capable of understanding the tricks and manoeuvres of our opponents.—(Cheers and laughter.) At our last meeting they attempted to make it appear that I was opposed to the amendment of the New Poor-law Bill. But I tell you, once for all, that there is not a man in England who is more a friend to the poor than I am.—(Cheers.) And I will second, with might and main, every effort to ameliorate the condition of the poor, and to mitigate the asperities of the Poor-laws.—( Repeated Cheering. ) I was for two years one of the guardians of the poor in my own parish, and I did all I could to soften the hardships of the law, and to lessen the suf ferings of the poor.—( Renewed cheering.) We took the re- Consibility upon ourselve s o f d epart i ng f rom th e or d ers o f th e Central Council, and we allowed out-door relief to the aged poor of 6s. instead of ss. a-week. If the state of the old law required alteration, I am still of opinion that the union workhouses ought to be like Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals—places of refuge and comfort for those who are worn out in the service of the community.—( Tremendous cheering.) I think that those who are past their labour ought to have a home and a refuge there, and be allowed to go out to take their walks when they liked, as in Chelsea or Greenwich—(Cheers)--but I do not think that the young and the idle ought to have the same indulgence at the expense of the iedostrious.---( Hear, hear. ) I understand that the parishes of St. Pancras and Marylebone have good local acts, well administered, and that the best parts of the New Poor-law have been taken from their example ; and I will therefore do all in my power to prevent any interference with the local management of those districts of this borough.—( Hear, hear, hear.) There is now another subject to which I must allude—and which, indeed, must be looked to all over the country—l mean the Corn-laws.—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am a deadly enemy of those laws.—( Vehement cheering.) I go with her Majesty's Ministers as far as they go—(Cheers)— and I believe that their propositions would not aggrieve the landholders, but would greatly benefit the people.—( Cheers. ) But even if the alteration did tend to diminish the incomes of the owners of land, is that a reason why the luxuries of the rich should be maintained at the cost of misery and privation to the poor ?_( Cheers.) I have had a calculation sent up to me from the country, by which it is shown that a difference of 3d. in the price of the loaf makes a difference to the poor man with a family of fully one-fifth of his income, and to his landlord a difference of only one-four-hundredth part.— ,(Cheers.) I think that if money must be raised for the sup port of the public establishinents of the country, it should be raised without oppressing the 'pocir—it' should re raised bir' a property-tax,—(Applause.,) I, think thatg.the j transinission ; 'of property in the funds is taxed, so also ought the traritmlssion of landed property to be taxed.—(Hear, hear.) The matter of the Sugar Duties, gentlemen, is now an old story—( Hear, and a laugh )—and all 1 have to say about them is, that I think every old woman in the country ought to have enough sugar to her tea.—(Great laughter.) The Tories have no right to throw it upon the Ministers that they would encourage slavery by reducing the duties. What did the Tories ever do to discou rage slavery? But,Gentlemen, if you wish to understand the whole state of the case upon that question, read Lord Palmer ston's speech, and you will see how it stands, and how far the measure of the Government is from being an encouragement to slavery.—( Hear, hear.) An ELECTOR—What do you say about the timber duties, Commodore ? Sir C. NAPIER—The gentleman asks what I say about the timber duties? Well, that's easily done.—( A laugh.) The Government always uses Baltic timber in its own ships, arid I can't see why the merchants should net be allowed to use it in their vessels, or why the people of England should be com pelled to use the inferior timber of Canada in building their houses.—( Hear, hear.) An ELECTOR--NOW tell us, Commodore, what do you think of the Ballot.—(Hear, hear.) Sir C. Na tell you what it is, Sir ; when I was a young man, I thought it was the best way for every Englishman to go up to the poll, and speak out his mind like a man, and for that reason 1 did not like the ballot. But I have since seen that it is impossible to have the people represented unless they are protected by some such means ; and I am decidedly in favour of the Ballot.—( Cheers.) .1 find that there are in this borough upwards of 35,000 ten pound householder?. I find that 11,500 only of these are registered; and I find, lastly, that of these, only 8,000 have ever voted.—(Hear, hear, hear.) I understand, also, that the true cause of so few registering, and so much fewer voting, is, that they want the Ballot to protect them from persecution.—(The Gallant Officer then sat down amidst repeated rounds of applause. ) Mr. SMART (who was greeted with the warmest applause) said he had a resolution to propose, which he was satisfied would meet with the cordial approbation of every one of the numerous body of his brother electors then present. It was— " That this meeting has heard with entire satisfaction the sen timents of the gallant Commodore, Sir Charles Napier, and the electors present pledge themselves to use their best exertions to secure his election as a worthy colleague of their esteemed representative, Sir Benjamin Hall."—( Great cheering.) He could not but express his deep regret that another attempt was about to be made to divide the Reform interest in the borough, and to continue the misrepresentation of Marylebone by a Tory.—(Cheers. ) An ELECTOR—.We are not so YOUNG as to be caught that way again .—(Cheers and laughter. ) Mr. SMART was sorry to see a gentleman professing Liberal opinions, arid whose sincerity he would not venture to dispute—(Cries of "Oh, oh," and laughter)—coming for ward, when he knew from previous experiments he had not sufficient support in the borough, having never polled more than 700, with the whole interest of Sir S. Whalley in his favour, to throw himself in the way of a man who stood so high as Commodore Napier, in the estimation of the electors and of the country at large. Such conduct was, to say the lea's of it, nothing better than playing the game of the Tori es. —( Cheers. ) Mr. HavnoN, who was also received in the most enthu siastic manner, seconded the motion. The resolution was then put by the Chairman, and was car ried without a single hand being raised against it. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, An ELECTOR proposed three cheers for the Queen and Com modore Napier, which were accordingly given with many repetitions. The meeting then separated, and as Sir Charles Napier pro ceeded across the green, he was followed by a large concourse of the inhabitants, loudly cheering, ar►d calling out " Hurrah for the true British sailor." DR. REID'S LECTURES. NEW PRACTICAL COURSE FOR SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES. Yesterday the first practical lesson illustrative of the 'course recommended by Dr. Reid, was given at Willis's , rooms. Dr. Reid's views are, that the introduction of practical lessons in chemistry, in all schools and acade mies, will be equally advantageous in their influence on the arts, on public health, and in economising the means of the poor, while they ar e essen ti a ll y necessary f or all who may be intended for professional pursuits, where a knowledge of physical science is required. The practical lessons are given immediately before the lecture, and consist of a series of demonstrations as to the nature of air, water, combustion, or such other subjects as may engage attention, each of the pupils performing simultaneously a series of experiments illustrative of the facts described, and being interrogated upon each, so as to quicken his powers of obs e r va ti on i n tracing the suc cessive phenomena that are presented as the experiments proceed. The pupils stand round a table, each having an assort ment of apparatus and materials placed before him, such as are required for the operations in which they are to be engaged. The apparatus is exceedingly simple, and consists merely of slips of glass, with which numerous experiments are performed, and of a few tubes, glass jsirs and candles, gas-lamps, or charcoal, according to the de gree of heat required. The following statement of the experiments performed in the introductory lessons will give a better idea than any detailed explanations of the system adopted. The pupils performed all the experi ments with much interest, and we noticed a number of ladies and gentlemen, including several Members of the House of Commons, examining attentively the nature of the system, and the manner in which the young pupils entered upon their experimental operations. Dr. Reid began the practical lessons by placing in the hands of each of the pupils a small instrument, which he iwtermed a chemical abacus. It is const ructe d i n the same manner as the common abacus ; a n um b er of b eads strung upon different. wires, representin g t h e di fferent intended over era elements, which are moved in different accord ing to the nature of the combination it may b e j a to represent. candle, h l i ht the wbhm fi te r t etceti experiment ll itattention iNra s the was pupils placed pd l positions, to e the manner n lier i 1 extinguished,acd a to the pr o d ucts of combustion, to the moisture deposited, and thus to the impurities communicated to the air, these being tested successively by litmus, lime - water, &c. - In the next series of experiments the pupils op era t e d upon the air which they expired testing it in th e same manner as the products of combustion, by litmus and lime-water. Lastly, they dissolved a portion of a chemical prepara tion which was given them with the view of explaining the extreme minuteness of the particles of matter, and having effected a solution by boiling it with water upon a piece of flat glass, they lifted tests with another portion of glass, and applied them to the matter of experiment. During the whole course of these experiments the teacher keeps up a- continued conversational intercourse with the pupils, and they are continually examined and cross-examined upon the varied phenomena that are ob served, till he is satisfied that they are thoroughly un derstood.

SINGULAR MARRIAGE.—On Monday, Pat rick Cowen, bachelor, and Sarah Ann Downes, spinster, were united in the bands of wedlock at the church of St. Dunstan's, Stepney, by Mr. James, the curate. The partie s were both young and good-looking, but both deaf and dumb. Fortunately both had been instructed in the schools instituted for the edul cation of persons thus afflicted, and, by reading the service and writing their assents to the questions propounded, - the parties were made to understand the nature of the solemn form of marriage used in the Church.

The Potteries on Monday last, the 24th instant, followed the example of other populous manufacturing distr'cts in pressing the subjects of the Corn-laws and Import Duties on the at tention of Government. The popular excitement on these subjects is becoming stronger ever] day. Information and reflection have done their work with the people. Early in the morning the various townships were in motion, and loaves of bread were paraded through the streets, showing the difference between the Am e ri can untaxe d l oa f an d the Englishman's Corn law bread. Bands of music, and numerous banners with appropriate in scriptions, were carried by the multitudes of repealers to the place of meeting, where the Chartists had already assembled with all thelorce which the Tories and their new allies could bring together. A waggon was furnished them by the agent of Squire Sneyd. A Tory lawyer, the whipper-in of his party for the rural parts of the borough, and some of the partisans of Alderman Copeland, also laboured in gathering all the col liers, boatmen, and Chartists from the neighbouring country. This wretched mass of ignorance and folly never amounted to more than about two hundred, but being supplied with drink they were able to fulfil the object for which they were gatKored, and in a meeting of many thousands to prevent any thing but their own bellowings from being heard. They were led on by a cobbler, assisted by several orators brought by the Tories from Derby and Manchester, one of whom was imme diately recognised as:a well-known thimble-rigger on the Pot tery race course. At the hour of meeting many thousand persons assembled in Hanley Market-place, and the Chief Bailiff, E. J. RIDGWAY, Esq., was voted to the Chair, and commenced the proceedings by reading the most respectable and numerously signed requisition ever got up in the Potteries, addressed to him as Chief Bailiff of Hanley and Shelton, and observed, that in pursuance of that requisition, and in concurrence with similar requisitions that had been pre sented to his brother Chief Bailiffs in the borough, the meeting had been called. The meeting, he said was requested by men of variouspolitical °pillions, to take into , consideration"the pro priety of petitioning Parliament for the repeal of the Corn laws and the reform of the Import Duties, and there fore could not be called a party meeting.—(Hear.) He considered therefore that all subjects not applying to those specific objects were inadmissible. Also that it being a borough meeting, the inhabitants of the borough only were competent to take a part in its proceedings ; and in conclu sion, requested as a favour that the meeting would grant to every speaker an impartial hearing, and endeavour to preserve order and good temper during . the proceedings. R. E. HEATHCOTE, Esq., late M.P. for the borough, rose, amid great confusion, to propose the first resolution. He ob served that he had never witnessed so much disorder at public meetings in the Potteries, and but for that he should have risen with more than usual satisfaction, never having seen under any circumstances so numerous and respectable an as semblage in the borough. He considered that it was the de sign of a gracious Providence that its bounties and blessings should be freely enjoyed by all the human family, and that every part of the world, however secluded, and seemingly un blessed, had advantages to give for the produce of other parts, and so by mutual exchange, and unrestricted commerce, the well-being of all would be secured. But the impolitic re strictions had diverted the bounteous streams of the beni ficent 'designs of Providence, and want and sorrow had usurpedg She place where • happiness +tand-; cententment ,might abo ‘ und. Mr. Heathcote proceeded te.notiee Jhe miser able COnarlion of the operatives, and of many agricultural' la bourers as the result of the bad policy of our Legislators, in passing restrictive laws, which, should the Peels and Stanley* come into power, would still govern the nation, and went on to show that monopoly, with its curses, or free trade, with its blessings, was offered by the Government, and that the old fac tion which had ever opposed the public good, had again raised the banner of resistance, though he (Mr. Heathcote) did not charge the gentlemen en his ri g ht, a ll u di ng to t h e Ch art i sts, with belonging to that faction.—( Laughter. ) The people, he said, were engaged in a struggle of more importance to them selves than any that had preceded. He remembered the meet ings in that place on the subject of the Reform Bill. Sharp was the struggle, and well the people did their duty ; and he trusted that, as they would soon have to give a casting vote, and, as he believed, the present House of Commons did not represent the voice of the people, he entreated them to do their duty, and tell the monopolists that they were determined to have free trade. Mr. Heathcote was cheered by his friends, and hissed by the little knot of Chartists. F. WEDGWOOD, Esq.,grandson of the celebrated Wedgwood, seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN rose to read the resolution, but the con fusion and noise prevented his being heard, and during the noise a cobbler who was in the Chartist waggon, rose to propose an amendment, which was the signal for a scene that beggars description, hooting, hissing, groaning, Ike. At length he was permitted to proceed, and he stated that the Corn-laws were put on at the point of the bayonet, and would never be taken off but in a similar way. He then spoke of the money laws, and declared that but for the Anti-Corn-law League not one of the 450 Chartists would have been imprisoned, and Frost, Williams, and Jones, would then be at their homes. He spoke during the greatest confusion, and concluded by moving an amendment deprecating the Corn-laws, but consi dering the only paniker for the sufferings of the people was the Charter. A Chartist, named Capper, seconded the amend ment. The resolution WR3 however carried by a large ma jority,—its friends cheering, and the Chartists groaning and hissing. JOHN ASHFORD Wisr, Esq., one of the Magistrates of the county, moved the second resolution. He felt greatly in terested in the welfare of the Potteries, and considered that if the object of the meeting was attained, it would be for the good of the people, though he must say that in his opinion the Corn laws would not be fully repealed until there was an extension of the Suffrage, and he would therefore gladly take an instal ment. He was himself a landowner, and derived every shil ling of his:income from rents, which he admitted were at present too high: 111r.flustrY, of Tunstall, seconded the resolution in an appropriate speech. A Chartist, named Robinson, next addressed the meeting, and the noise and confusion which had been great during the delivery of the former speeches, was greatly increased ; he however persisted in speaking about anything but the subject, before the meeting, which he said was but to petition for the repeal of a small and paltry tax on corn. As it was now quite evident that the object of the Chartists was toscause confusion and interruption, the Chairman inquired if they had an amendment to move, and as none was forthcom. ing, he put the resolution to the meeting, which was carried amid confusion twice confounded—the hissing►, hooting, whistling, bellowing, from the Chartists, exceeded all that we have before seen. The remaining resolutions were moved, during the continued noise and confusion, by C. J. Mason, Esq., L. J. Abington, Esq., John Ridgway, Esq., Elijah Jones, Esq., and Thomas Green, Esq., and seconded by operatives ; and after thanks had been voted to the chair, and three times three cheers were given for Repeal of the Corn-laws,, the meeting dissolved, leaving the Chartists on the ground to amuse themselves with their own clap-trap misrepresentations and sophisms. The meeting has been productive of much damage to the name of Chartism in the Potteries ; its unprincipled alliance with Toryism in opposition to the immediate interests of the people, and the brutal tyranny by which it seeks to trample down the rights of all men, to accomplish its designs, has con firmed many waverers in their resistance to its demands, swelled the ranks of the Liberals, and disgusted even the fac sion which employed the Chartists in their dirty work. GREAT ANTI-MONOPOLY MEET- ING AT CHORLEY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The most numerous and respectable meeting ever held in this town took place last evening, convened by the Overseers and Churchwardens, in consequence of a requisition they re ceived. Not less than four thousand persons were present, several bands of music, banners, &c. At six o'clock, the hour ap pointed, the new market-place presented an animated scene, hundreds approaching in every direction, anxious to record their sentiments against monopoly. Throughout the proceed ings, although some difference existed about the means, all were perfectly agreed that the end ought to be the abolition of all monopolies. On the motion of RICHARD &MTH uRsT, Esq.,:seeonded by PETER RIGBY ' a Chartist leader, Tho mas W a t t , E sq. was called to the chair, and stated that the meeting was of the ut most importance, as it remained for the country to say whe ther they approved of the conduct of those representatives who had lately rejected a measure calculated to increase the com forts, commerce, and employment of the United Kingdom, viz., a revision of the sugar duties. A measure that not one of its oppo nents denied the benefits that would arise from its adoption ; but, forsooth, it was the produce of slave labour. Now this from the men who had defended slavery to the very last, and only relinquished their unholy grasp for a large consideration was, to say the least of it, ridiculous. RICHARD SMETHURST, Esq., moved the first resolution, and stated that the import of slave-grown sugar was not the only question, as the prohibitory duty equally excluded free labour sugar, and thus crippled commerce, placed the public on short allowance, and injured the revenue. The speaker here paid a compliment to Lord John Russell. The Rev. 0. Halmort seconded the resolution, and, said— It was usual for Ministers of the Gospel to state why they took in such demonstrations as the present. It was also usual to hear taunts thrown out against them for so doing, but he was careless whether they came from one quarter or another, as he was not conscious of giving any man offence, and had yet to learn that in becoming a Minister of the Gospel he had ceased to be a man or a citizen.—(Loud cheers.) He rejoiced the time had arrived when something was proposed to be done to relieve our suffering community. Had not monopoly lasted sufficiently long? He had given the question much attention, and the more he considered it the more he was convinced it was opposed to justice. All trade should be left free, unfettered by protecting duties. The Reverend Gentleman happily ex posed the wages fallacy, and declared if he for a moment thought the measure would injure the working man, he would rather the factories were burned, and the ashes scattered to the winds of heaven than support it ; but all experience showed the contrary. He concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. PETER RIGBY came forward to propose as an amend ment, a want of confidence in Ministers, and stated that his objection was to a bread-tax, and called on the parties to take down the flag that had no bread-tax inscribed upon it, as in supporting the proposal of Ministers they were supporting a duty of Bs. a quarter, which was monstrous and unjust. He would support the Anti-Corn-law League in total repeal; he .had supported Mr. Livesey at Preston on the subject; but now he perceived they had deserted principle.—( Loud cries of " No.") Mr. Dotranas seconded the amendment. The Rev. HENRY CLARKE stated, in support of the original resolution, that nine-tenths of what Mr. Rigby had said had no reference to the subject. Mr. JOHN Minimal , addressed the meeting on the necessity of coolly and calmly considering the question, and, if it was just, to support it, firmly and deliberately expressing his conviction that total repeal only was lull justice. Mr. HYLAND moved the next resolution. The Rev. H. CLARKE seconded the resolution, but the pressure on the platform became so great that it was utterly impossible that what followed could be more than glanced at. ',llr. Rigby introduced the Charter, the chairman declined political discussion. Mr. Evans of the National Anti-Corn law League indignantly denied that they had abated one iota of their demand for full justice, an unrestricted trade in the article of human food, unfettered by taxation either for revenue or protection, and was loudly cheered. The Itev. Mr. Lang addressed them at some length, and was much applauded. At the termination a vote of thanks to the chairman was moved by IL Smethurst, Esq., seconded by M r. T . Ri gby, and carried unanimously. proving that his conduct had given satisfaction to all parties. WAe_ ~~.~ ~~~ ~~ EVENING EDITIO ____ that Sir Robert- has - taken a falieistcp. A fah :- Loci'?

All the Globe's historical recollections at, wrong.

The country answered it as it will Sir Robert Peel's apptal to them ; but how excessively cowardly it is for the courtiers to drag in our gracious Queen. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS- FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—This was settling-day in the Consol-market, and money being less abundant than stock, there was what is technically called a "bun " account, and the continuation to next .duly was as high as g, or nearly 5 per cent. per annum. These temporary pressures are accounted for by the fact, that of late the profits to be gained by speculating in the funds have, from the small variation in the i rices, become so trifling, that many capitalists have withdrawn their money from the Stock-Exchange to seek a more profitable use for it, so that the slightest immediate want of money is attended by some difficulty in obtaining it. During the pr7i ess of the present account, the difference between the extreme quotations has not exceeded * per cent. The de bates on the sugar question were scarcely felt at all, as it was at once perceived in the City that there war not the slightest prospect of the Ministerial proposition being carried, and hence the whole affair of the Budget was re garded with great indifference. No other political cause for variation has existed during the six weeks. It is remarked by the jobbers as a curious circumstance that the quotation to day is precisely the same as that on the last day of the last Ac count, which, however, shows a trifling decline since that period, as we have advanced nearer to the payment of the divi -1 dends. The prices of stock to-day. in spite of the slight pres sure, have been well maintained, partly, probably, on account of purchases by the Courts of Chancery arid Exchequer, to the extent of 200,000/. or 300,000/., which relieved the Market of some of its stock. Payments however will, it is said, not be made till Friday, so that the quantity of money was not in creased by the transaction. By the official return published by the Customs, the ex ports of the precious metals from the port of London to foreign and colonial parts for the week ending Thursday last, was as under : Ounces. Silver Coin to Hamburgb ... 3,008 to New Yo r k to Rotterdam— ..... 30,041 - to Belgium ... Silver Bars to H am b urg h 6 ,000 to Rotterdam... ... 16,000 There was a fair amount of paper offering to-day upon 'Change, and on Hamburgh the supply having rather exceeded the demand, there was again a trifling improvement in the rate upon that place. Paris and AtusWratam may be considered the same as last post. The premium on gold at Paris is 91 per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. pet ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 39, and the ex change at Paris on London . at short being 25. 371, it follewe that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer ire Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 430* per mark, which, at the English Mint 'mice of 3/. 17. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 7Z, and the. exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. B*, it follows that gold is 0.40 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The late reaction in the tea trade has directed attention to the causes which are supposed to have produced it, and these principally appear to be the large sales which the importers have made by public auction in the course of the last fortnight, besides the disinclination shown by the legitimate dealers to purchase more than they actually want. It also appears that these sales are likely to be continued, which, of course, further tends to keep the market in abeyance. With respect to specu lation, although it has been carried on with considerable spirit on one or two occasions since the arrival of the late overland mail, there seems to have been much more caution exercised than previously, and those who have been the leaders of it are regarded as the lower classes of the trade, whose difficulties, if any, would only affect their immediate circle, and not at all disturb the more respectable connections of the trade. Among the best informed, little fear is ex pressed ot. a short supply of the leaf during the present season, and, even taking the present stock, which, in cluding the late arrivals, is estimated at 36.000,0001b5., and comparing it with the average annual consumption in the United Kingdom, for the years 1836, 1837, 1838, 1839, which is calculated - at 38,953,4501 b., it gives very nearly a year's sup ply. A short review of the prices since the arrival of the overland mail shows the extent of fluctuation to have been at least 6d. per pound. On the 6th instant Company's Congoua were quoted at Is. 61d. to Is. 60. per pound money. On the 7th instant they advanced to Is. B*d., in consequence of the recall of Captain Elliott ; and on the 9th inst. they further advanced to Is. 91d. By forced speculation on the 10th they rose to 2s. Old., but declined the same day to Is, lid., and in consequence of the heavy sa l es s i nce made have further de clined to ls. Sd., although for the last two days they .. have been quoted something better. Private accounts from Paris contradict the statement in La Presse newspaper, that the house of Laffitte and Co. have withdrawn from the Texan loan, and, on the contrary, affirm that they are proceeding with it, and are, indeed, bound by special contract to do so. CHRONICLE..The great move of Sir Robert Peel has not influenced the funds, whatever effect it may have upon the destinies of the country. Consols for the settling to-day opened at 891 to 9, at which quotation they continued for some time. when, on an extensive purchase being effected, said to Le to the extentof 200,000 Consols for Friday next for the Court of Exchequer, prices improved to 90 to h for .Money, and 901 to for the opening. The closinn , price was a shade lower, being sellers at 90 for money. exchequer Bills were Ss. to 10s. prem. POST.—This was settling-day in the Consols market, and the account turned out, as was predicted of it, a decidedly bear account. The continuation remained at %to per cent - . all day long, the rates quoted by us yesterday. Money was procured, on the deposit of stock, at from 5 to 8 per cent., according to circumstances, the charge depending equally on the amount wanted and the standing of the parties borrowing. Rather a heavy purchase of Consols (200,000 e being the sum named), was made on account of the Court of Exchequer for delivery on Friday, at the price of 90k, which gave a fresh impulse to the market, though the current quotation for mo ney was 90 to b. A small purchase, not perhaps exceeding 30,0001. to 40,0001., was likewise made in the course of the day on account of the Court of Chancery. HERALD.—The settlement of the account in the home market was operated to-day, and was altogether a quiet affair, the differences being of slight amount, as the fluctuations. during the coursa of the account were of very trifling conside ration. The market was heavy in the beginning of the day with a tendency to lower rater, but some large purchases of Consols to the order of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery, to the amount altogether of between 200,000!. and 300,0001. redressed the balance and stopped the downward inclination of prices.. These purchases were effected at 90 ant! 901. Altogether it may be considered remarkable that money operations of such extent should have been so ineffective be raising the quotations positively, but on the other hand it should . not be overlooked, that their 'negative action was tantamount to the same thing by preventing a fall and steadying the quo tations. Some relief also was afforded to the money market, so far as the Stock-house is concerned, by this considerable absorption of stock and disbursement of moneys among the dealers. SUN.—The Stock Market assumed a rising appearance to day, in consequence of the nature of the account, which, as we mentioned' in our article of yesterday evening, was en tirely in favour of the speculators for a rise. It is notorious that stock is now so scarce as to lender the market pretty well invulnerable to any but the most decided agents, it we may risk such a term in relation to political events. Nothing short of a resignation of Ministers, could, it is thought, occasion a fluctuation just now of even per cent. Consols for imme diate delivery realised to-day 89y to 901, closing at 90 sellers, and for the Account, 901 to 901, the latest bargains being at 90% buyers. The unfunded debt supported the premium of Is. to 10s. Bank Stock was rather dull at 168, the Be; duced Three -and-a-Half per Cents, brought 971 to 97 j, and India Bonds par to 2s. prem. The few sales made in the Foreign stocks were at prices ex hibiting a triflin g ra lly. S pan i s h R en d s were at 2n Por tuguese were not dealt in ; Colombian were at 221 to Buenos Ayres at 23; Russian Bonds at an improvement to 112* ; Belgian were steady at 100 to *; French Five Per Cents. at 114 f. 25c ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 521 to A.
