a f the PUB' spi, t arr 0 -‘4IC JOU RN A.LS. yaODIL 7 1I S DP .- PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHI v 01 -11C narrow and petty views of pub lic aft t irs with which the mind of Sir Robert Peel is most far. ailiar, are strikingly indicated by the mode in w hi c h h e prefaced one portion of his speech to his con stituents. Passing from medical analysis and paragraph reforms to the proper political business of the day , he says—" I dt I not think I should have bee n induced to say a wor d to • you on the subjec t of p art y interests—l lould have la 'en perfectly content to acquiesce in a sus pension of hos. jiffies, considering the near approach of the combatants will meet face to face-- the period when if I had not iece: fitly seen the manifesto put forth by Lord John Russ. " Party interests," " hostilities," co mbatants ;" tl iese are what Sir Robert Peel sees in " the great question of a nation's trade and food. The House of Commons is not sitting, and so he thinks there might have be. •n a " suspension of hostilities." He would have b een " content to acquiesce." There ! was no party move to l le made, and so he wonders that the affairs of the country s hould be brought into earnest dis cussion. No man could employ such language, or be .subject to the train of .bought which it implies, with , whom the well-being of the community was more than ,a very secondary consideration. The evils from which redress is needed no more remit their operation than do the great operations of nature, the beneficent influences of which are counteracted by those evils. Bread tax nresses on, most mercilessly ; and monopoly acquiesces -k i no " suspension of hostilities." The adverse in reunfriendly feelings , and growing competition res: s, which eur Corn-laws hare foster ed in Forei g n States, relax 10 not in the warfare they wage upon our manu exity. here is no suspension of the dif factoring Pre ssp, barrassm T ents, the failu res, which have be ficulties, the en. fearfully ully ; nor of the misery they spread esun to multiply so iiungeris not in abeyance. The a mongst multitudes. winds blow, the ra in fe'lls, and overclouded hopes of har vest are testifying the b ee stility of the elements to hu man monopoly. But what is all this to Sir R Peel e He does not perceive how te.. relative position of Whig "ceded till " the period .and Tory can be materially ea face to ," and, erhen the com batants will meet not • he would be content tfserefi)re, it mo ves him , to hold truce es...qh politics, and entertain the electors e Tamworth wit`.' the paragraphing of te Globe. Without being a Nerd, a man may fiddle while Rome as well as great crime, is burning ; inherent litti l .' ne t s :e _indifference to what may generate a cold-blooks d egard their country. most deeply interests all who this absortion in. What a contrast is presented, by . :o the eager thei.. most paltry phase of .pol itical life, .ai ness which we encounter in o ther directions. visters have thrown dow n the g auntlet to Pono-.. poly, and proposed to i nvi g orate the resources Pi the nation by lightening its burdens. Political econo mists are reiterating their demonstrations that the re strictive policy is fraught with injury and ruin. Capital ists are calculating the effect of closing markets. The leagued foes of the bread-tax sleep neither night nor day in their struggle against the pressure which must crush them unless it be o'ermastered. The preachers of reli gion claim justice for the poor as part and parcel of our common Christianity, and wash their hands of the im piety that taxes, while it prays for, daily bread. With none who have minds to think, and hearts to feel, is this a subject of gladiatorial skill, of tongue-fence and party tactics, but a vital question, that allows no rest nor peace till the way be found to its satisfactory termi nation. Sir Robert Peel sees nothing in it but the ball to play a party game with, when the " combatants " shall have gathered on the ground. TIMES.—It is to the honour of the press that there is one daily paper which has ever given an un- , qualified support to the New Poor - law ; a nd to have that particular paper opposed to them has been a great advantage to the friends of the poor. We could not have desired a better foil for our arguments upon this subject than the self-complacent dogmatism with which they are noticed in the columns of the Journal al luded to. It is evident that the gentlemen of the So merset-house establishment who favours us with his replies belongs to what has been aptly called the " silver fork" school of literature ;—his lucubrations savour of cambric pocket-handkerchiefs, and are redolent of Eau de Cologne. Once in a month, or so, the languid apathy of his nature is roused by the per serverance of the Conservative press in attacks, which, if successful, might perhaps touch his exquisiteness in the tenderest part, and even stop the supplies of lavender water; and accordingly he summons up resolution for the task of writing an article, and settling the Poor-law controversy for ever. Reading through the arguments which he professes to answer, or attempting a logical reply to them, is, of course, out of the question; but he skims delicately over the surface of one or two prominent phrases, and annihilates his adversary by the summary process of assuring the public, upon his veracity, that all the worst abuses of " the old system " are lurking under every word. Reasons he does not give ; and, of course, would not give them " upon compulsion," though they were " as plenty as blackberries;" but his assertions as to matters of fact are abundant, and he throws them about with as much reckless pertinacity as if all sources of knowledge upon the subject were sealed up from allrbut himself. In an article of this description on Saturday last the public were informed, that " the Times has a panacea for all privations occasioned by high prices, low wages, and insufficient employment for labour ;" and that " it is to revert to the old Poor-law practice of discriminating relief to deserving objects." The writer proceeded, in a somewhat more confident than coherent strain, to expose " the fallacy of appor tioning relief to desert, and making it in all respects pleasant and consistent with domestic arrangements ;" and wound up with the observation, that " it is not to this transparent quackery, puffed by the Times this morning, that the labouring', people must look for rescue from the hardships of their present condition." We need .hardly take the trouble of assuring our readers, that cur supposed " panacea for all privations" exists only in the imagination of the silken economist who professes.to answer remarks which he has evidently never read. ADVERTISER.—The doom of the Corn-laws is sealed : the' death-blow of the monopoly in human food is about to be struck, and a famishing population have at last the prospect before them of being able to procure for themselves daily bread. The singular coincidence of ciretunstances marshalling themselves in antagonism to the Corn-laws, which obtains at this moment, clearly in dicates a providential interposition on behalf of the starv ing masses in the manufacturing districts; and proclaims in trumpet tones the folly, as well inhumanity, of at tempting to uphold the existing monopoly. First of all, we have the Ministers of her Majesty, not only as indivi duals, favourable to a free trade in corn, but standing be fore their country in the attitude of men most solemnly pledged in their collective capacity, to avail themselves 'of every means which the Constitution of the realm will sanction, to abolish imposts which mercilessly withhold from the mouths of the poor that food which their appetites crave, and which the munificence .of an indulgent Providence had intended for them. And this solemn pledge, given, we doubt not, with :perfect cordiality, is about to be repeated in the presence •of Parliament, and in the hearing of the nation - for - there cannot be a question that her Majesty's speech to the new Legislature about to assemble, will contain a re iteration of the Ministerial conviction of the absolute ne cessity which exists for a repeal of the Corn-laws, pro vided it be deemed desirable to prevent the most fearful anarchy, and to preserve from utter destraction the com mercial relations of the country. Nor will Ministers content themselves with the mere annunciation, in her Majesty's proximate speech, of anti-Corn-law and anti- Monopoly measures ; the propounding of these measures in the Royal Address will be followed up in the Minis terial speeches which the discussion on that address - will necessarily elicit, by the expression of a resolute determination never to cease their uncompromising Isiostility to these prohibitory laws, until they be erased T e ma the statute-book. This will very materially „strengthen the position which Ministers already oc cupy as the leadiug opponents of these odious imposts ; it will inspire the people with increased confidence in their laadership, and bring into one close and adhesive phalanx, in the war now waging with the Corn laws, the entire body of those opponents to monopoly-. The Mi nisterial advocacy of the Corn-law abolition will be powerfully abetted and enforced by the present pecu liarlr heavy pressure of these laws on the working Classes. Trade is stagnant, commerce is paralyzed, and u s-Triads of thepopulation in the manufacturing di s t r i cts ha ye either no employ ment at all, or arebutvery par tial ly employed and inadequately paid fore r their labour. and oppseion of these At such a moment the iniqu it y o c f onseu ntl y their sanc tion hateful taxes are seen with a s p ecial clearness, because felt with a peculiar force. The masses.crare ready and eager to bring the whole weight and authority in aid of whatever efforts Ministers may make with the view of rit2ding tale c ountry of these barbarous imposts. .POST.—We insert in another column a letter from Lord Francis Egerton to an Eve ning Contemporary, the mis-statements of the Whig-Radical Journals respecting his Lordship's connection with the .Lancashire Yeomanry. His Lordship, .it is now certain, leas not raised a regiment of yeomanry, nor even a troop ; nor has his Lordship taken any step towards the creation of such an addition to this most useful and va luable description of public force. It is right that the Whig-Radical falsehood should be thus effectually con tradicted, not merely on the general ground that it is al ways right to contradict falsehood, but becauSe the lie in this particular instance was invented and propagated for the purpose of creating the impression that his Lordship eind the great national party of which he is a distin uished member, regard the great bulk of their country men in the light of enemies, against whom it behoves them to take precautions at all times, and view the re cent transfer of political ascendancy in the Legislature as an occasion that suggests the expediency of additional precautions at the present moment. The letter of Lord Francis Egerton appear:: to us to be a very seasonable communication to the puolic in another point of eiew. It sisows the Whig-Radical agitators who labour in the in terest of the Queen's present Ministers, to instigate the hewer claisees of the people to riot and insurrection, how eee epletely Lord Francis Egerton, amid men like his Lord ship, despise and disregard their extorts. We like his Lord. 'hips communication, not only as it contradicts a falsehood industriously circulated by the Government scribes, for a most mischievous and unprincipled purpose, abut as ie.mailifests the sober and quiet .scorn with which the land ici proprietors of England feel themselves entitled to regard the persevering attempts of the _Edinburgh `Review, the Morning Chronicle, and all the other instruments of Whiggery, to infuriate the masses of the :population in our great manufacturing towns against the 'owners and cultivators of the soil. There is no necessity for an increase to the Lancashire yeomanry, under the command of Lord Francis Egerton, and, therefore, the Noble Load delays to embrace the complimentary offer sef his own tenantry to form an additional troop to be commanded by his son. And why is there no such necessity ? Simply because the masses of the manufac t.ruring- population o f L ancas hi re d es pi se as mu ch as Lord F allele Egerton himself despises the incentives to hosti lity against their fellow -subjects interested in the culti vation of the soil, an d the artful admonitions to violence and outrage w Bich the journals of a defeated and morti fied and dislo) 'al Administration daily put forth. HERALD.- —We have already stated that the - news brought by th a North America is three days later than the last intelli genre from the United States which has reached this country. We are unable to give an opinion as to ths, (lets ree of probability which may attach to the article fpm ' Lockport relative to the reported violent re` „ me snlr. M'Leod by an armed body of Canadians. Tslea, is. not the time to enter upon a question which is Taisesi simply on the affirmative or negative of that fact. But NI , hilst we feel that the series of aggressions and out rages which has been visited on the personal liberty and the personal safety of M'Leod would amply justify him in escapir ig, by any means that might offer, from an im prison' nent commenced in an act of lawless violence on 'the par t of certain functionaries of the United States, and since m aintained and enforced in defiance of the clearest principl RS of the law of nations and those very rights of free cit izensbip which are the professed object of the United States most unqualified veneration; we know not whether at this particular juncture we should be pre pared to rejoice at the verification of the report. We feel, for the first time, something like a conviction that the predominating tendency of pulic opinion in America is against the decision of the Judges of the New-York Fiupreme Court. We perceive such strong indications of a. returning sense of the demands of reason, of right, and A' justice in this case, that we would a thousand times prefer to see the release of M'Leod pronounced by the solemn and deliberate finding of a legal tribunal in land where it is of vast importance to all the countries of the world that have amicable relations with it, but of still more essential and indispensable moment to its own power, its own influence, and its own security, that the majesty of the law should yet be able to vindicate its own decrees. We shall hail it as a happy omen for the peace and repose of the most civilised nations of the globe, if justice in the courts of the United States shall be found sufficiently strong and sufficiently resolute to make the language in which she shall pronounce for the instant release of M'Leod, heard far and near above the sullen murmurs of a cabal, or the importunate clamours of a reckless and bloodthirsty faction. GLOBE.—The Standard, sympathising with the sor rows of a numerous body of its party, who have been living upon hope until they loathe the light food and pine for more substantial and savoury diet, has kindly opened its columns to their complaints, in hope of re lieving the sufferings they endure, by enabling them to expatiate upon the miseries of their condition. Judging from the dolorous complainings in which they indulge, the torments of 'Tantalus could be but flea-bites com pared with theirs. " Ten days," exclaims the organ of their woes, "must elapse ere Parliament will as semble." It is not absolutely certain that this dis mal interval may not be yet further protracted : for it is only " Said" that Parliament will then meet ; and " to the ten days interval we must probably add ten days more, ere we arrive at the time when it shall be ascer tained by whom, and upon what principles, the country is to be governed." Whoever carefully considers the con dition of the parties whose case is here disclosed, will cease to wonder at the language in which they indulge. Twice ten days, at the very lowest computation, must measure their tedious revolutions, ere the unhappy sufferers can expect the slightest mitigation. And in the interval, what agitations, the result of alternations of bright hopes and gloomy fears, must convulse their spirits ! One hour their eyes dancing with delight as they in imagination expatiate in the regions of official plenty the next a prey to the harrowins , thought that by others, but not by them, the sub stance of things hoped for may be realised. Truly, those whose condition is so deplorable are objects of commiseration ' , in proportion as their case is Imown, will sympathy be excited. Although we cannot hold out any very strong hopes of relief, yet we will do our best to give publicity to their grievances, and thus shew that we are not insensible to their woes. The Standard pretty plainly intimates that Sir Robert Peel is far from guiltless in the matter. The cause of their calamities is traced to the obscurity in which he has veiled his purposes. He has given no intimation of " the principles on which he intends to govern the country';" and consequently has left the host of expectants, who are waiting for place under his Government, in a state of torturing suspense as to the " persons" of whom his Government will consist. If the proximate Premier will not speak, he might give a significant nod, or an expressive shake of his head, from which something of his " principles" might be inferred. But he makes no sign. Hence the difficulty of the case, and the impossibility of knowing "by whom, and upon what principles, the country is to be governed." It must, however, be gratifying to the country to be assured, that, whatever may be the " principles " on which the slippery proximate Premier may deem it expedient to conduct the Government, he has "persons' ready to conform their principles to his. STANDARD.—The address of the Protestant As sociation, calling for an inquiry into the violent proceed ings resorted to by the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ire land, in order to control the late elections, surely deserves the support of the country. Enough has transpired to establish a prima facie case against the persons accused, as far as five or six county elec tions are concerned, and it is due to the interests of truth that this prima facie case be fully and fairly investigated. It is due to the Ro man Catholic Clergy to acquit them if they are innocent, of the presumptive disgrace ; and it is due to the law and to the public peace to, at least, ex pose them if they are guilty. We do not, however, see how either effect can be satisfactorily obtained except by the committee called for by the Protestant Association. A collection of inquiries before five or six distinct committees, trying as many election petitions, cannot be relied upon as sufficient to elicit the whole truth. First, because it is by no means certain that such petitions would be pro secuted with sincerity and vigour, if prosecuted at all, under the heavy burthen of expense which their prosecution must impose on individuals. Secondly, because the inquiries of an Election Committee are ne cessarily and properly confined within limits too narrow to reach a system so widely spread as that which is asserted to have been employed in Ireland. Let it be supposed that an election town is surrounded by a circum vallation of insurgents of five or six miles diameter—these insurgents all prepared to exclude one class of electors ; it is apparent that such a circumvallation would be quite suf ficient to deter from even the attempt to give their votes all of the suspected class beyond its limit ; yet it would puzzle the most acute lawyer to bring intimidation so remote, and it might be so inert, within that description of terror which vitiates a return. Somebody must have approached the hustings, and been driven back, either by force or imminent danger, to meet the precedents of intimidation ruled as sufficient to avoid an election. Let us again suppose the case of a large district of a county swept clean of all adverse electors by successive midnight hunts ; the persons unlucky enough to possess a qualification carried off by dozens and by scores, and borne away, bound, to a distant county, until the termi nation of the contest. If this occurred previously to the teste of the election writ, though in contemplation of an immediate contest, an Election Committee could not with propriety take cognizance of the outrage. The third objection is not less deserving of consideration— a petition can be presented only in cases where the violence has proved successful. But it must be ob vious that the closer the struggle, the more nakedly will illegal means be employed by those who despise the law ; and if we are to pursue a general evil, we must not neglect its more salient and unequivocal symptoms. The whole must be looked at together; and, to take the prima facie case before us, we may see more distinctly in Carlow, Waterford, and Dublin, where it failed after being driven to extremity, the system of ter ror which obtained the victory early in Clare, Tipperary, Cork, and Kerry, and was not, therefore, under the ne cessity of so full a self-exposure. COURlER.—Granting the emergency in which the country is placed, and the perils which surround her to be as difficult to be grappled with and mastered as any of the best of possible instructors' find it their cue now to represent, we, so far from viewing in such a condition of affairs any argument or valid reason for continuing the present pro visional Cabinet in office, recognise in it a strong necessity for their removal, and an urgent demand for the services of wiser and better men. It must un doubtedly seem as strange as unprecedented to hear the organs of a faction which so long swayed everything according to its caprice, now appeal to the mischief it has done, and the wreck of the country's hopes and wishes it has occasioned, as reasons why its blighting and pes • tilential rule should be prolonged. There is in this pre tence an insensibility to even the appearance of decency — Ra a di h ea e l ight of desperate audacity which we did not, we commentingconfess, antiucpip o a n t . e from that portion of our Whig- Contemporaries, whose lucubrations we are now small ppeann, Ha i d n itbeen confined to the evening print, which so much delights in low calumnies and insinuations, it would not have surprised US ; but, a journals not wholly bereft of claims to talent us and veracity, it has not a little astonished , especially after its falsehood and shamelessness had demonstrated. We i a n r s e en n s o i t bto , e w ut e no b d e e p hrre t a o dt ei a ft b sti e sehu e ue n riet e s ta o hszoa f r uil dva y those croakers, by any means which the Whigs have be queathed to their successors. e nd are by no means in delicacy of the task t e h li e ne f d orthcoming Administration of Sir Robert Peel w ill have to undertake ; b u t we know the resources of patriotism and wisdom are as variou s as they are fruitful. We know he will, moreover, command a measure of support and confidence in th e new Parliament to add which the Whig s have lon g been strangers, and th a t the very facilitie s and advanta g es of hi s pos i tion will therefore enable him to trium p h over embarrassments and perils whi ch would be fatal to t he country under his d positi on totteri ng w s e w ay the w i se . But when y to o nde t r he thsetrirengptahlisioed of and prudent counsels with which he will not fail to sur round himself, his own for e seeing and deeply-searching and the soundness alike sagacity, his experience, can see ao difficulty of his judgments and his principles, we the lenity in the way of his government —no obstacle to .working out of his mild and moderate policy—with which an ordinary share of prudence will not be able successfully to deal. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE FROM UNREQUITED LOVE.— On Monday the family of Mr. Bulfoy, landlord of the Weavers' Arms public-house , i n Brown's-lane, Brick-lane, Spitalfields, were thrown into the most inde scribable affliction, by the death, by her ow n hands, of Miss Bulfoy, a very fine young woman, in her 21st year. It appears that the deceased, after a lengthened acquaint ance, was a short time ago on the point of marriage with a respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood, but for some cause or other her intended husband broke off the match. This circumstance preyed deeply on her mind, and on the night before, unknown to her parents, she sent a potboy to a neighbouringchemist for a small quan tity of arsenic, and hating procured it she swallowed it at bed-time, and at two o'clock was a corpse. Informa tion of the unfortunate occurrence was forwarded to Mr Baker, the Coroner, and an inquest will be held on the body this day. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF . YESTERDAy. POST.—The principal dealings in the Share market were in Brighton Railway. A meeting of the proprie tors of this Company was held in the course of the day, and until this was over, a feeling of uneasiness prevailed, lest, perhaps, some discouraging disclosures should be made concerning the traffic of the line in its more ad vanced and expensive state. The accounts lately received from Mexico give a very deplorable idea of the condition of that country. The enormous rate of duty laid on all foreign productions, under one form of authority and another, operated as a complete prohibition to legitimate importations. The result of this had been, that several vessels coming in with cargoes were ordered away again ; and if the same fatal system should be persisted in, the resident foreign merchants would be compelled to quit the Re public. Some measures were to be brought before the Legislature in relation to the foreign debt ; but as they would first come under the consideration of the De puties, and these persons are paid for their services out of the public treasury, it is not expected that anything will be done for the relief of the bondholders. The same circumstance will in all probability interfere with the remittances promised to be made to England on ac count of the dividends, as requirid by the provisions of the late conversion. ADVERTISER.—The advices received to-day through indirect channels from Germany and Italy, notice, we regret to find, the occurrence of more failures. At Vienna, Messrs. Deutsch and Co. had suspended, and at Graetz a large house in the iron trade, viz, that of Mis chey. At Trieste the . Hebrew firm of Raphael Salem had stopped for 230,000 florins,• and as it carried on a large business with the Levant, it was feared it might lead to embarrassments at Alexandria, Aleppo, Jaffa, Smyrna, or Beyrout. Two Greek houses, involved in losses by Guy Muller's failure, had also suspended, viz., Messrs. Clinny and Cappair, and A. S. Minz. The firm of J. Hagenauer, at Trioste, loses about 50,000 florins by the Mullen, but its credit has remained unshaken by it. - TIMES.—The failure of Messrs. Troughton and Sons, the West India merchants, has created a great noise among their Demerara connections, and will no doubt do the same here when the particulars are fully known ; although, as far as at present appears, there is nothing to justify censure. The Demerara papers received to-day, of the 3d July, are filled with the particulars of the meet ing which was called t o i nvest i gate t h e i r affairs and to choose trustees for the benefit of the creditors, at which the leading partner out there submitted a statement of their accounts, which, though he would not pledge him self to its perfect accuracy, considering the embar rassed state of their affairs, and the short time they had had to prepare, contained, he believed, a fair estimate of their liabilities and assets. The ex tent of their liabilities, on the showing of this ac count, exceeds what was originally anticipated by about 50,0001.; for it is stated that the amount of bills likely to come back, including those for the Adelphi estate not yet paid, is 120,000/. ; the colonial debts are placed at 10,0001. ; and the debts at home at 30,000/., making a total of 160,000/. The assets are described as consisting of remittances to the firm in London, in amount 18,0001., notes of hand 12,000/., the Adelphi estate 20,0001., book debts 25,000/., and stock 7,000/., making a total of 82,000/. The difference of 78,000/. is accounted for by loss on 1,735 hogsheads, 143 tierces, and 39 barrels of sugar, all arriving after the fall in the produce-market in the early part of this year, 17,500/. ; on 2,254 puncheons of molasses, 1,200/. ; on 1,094 puncheons of rum, 10,500/., making altogether a loss on produce of 40,00 b/. The loss on the Adelphi es tate is reckoned at 10,000/., bad debts 10,0001., bad stock 2,000/., profit and loss 4.0001., loss on ships 1,0001., loss by failures of grocers 4,0001., loss by immigration to Berbice 2,000/., with other losses of 5,0001., the particu lars of which are not stated in the papers. The party who exhibited this statement was questioned by many of the creditors, with the view, it would appear, to show that the firm had been for a long time in a bank rupt state, and that the declaration of inability to pay had been deferred to the latest possible period. It wp„ s admitted in answer that the concern had been in eir.'oar rassed circumstances, but they were not of such magni tude as to lead to the supposition that by prudence and circumspection they might not be eventually righted. The firm contemplated no stoppage till the severe depreciation in produce occurred, and then it was seen that they could not carry on business further. They had, in the mean time, confined their transactions as much as possible, in order to render the catastrophe less paralyzing to the mercantile community. Naturally enough, in the course of an\ examination like this, a variety of questions were put, which, though relevant to affairs out there, would not be interesting here, and therefore, without enumera ting these, it is only expedient to add, that trustees are appointed to examine and take possession of all property for the general benefit of the creditors. The papers do not convey any other news of interest. POLICE CORRECTIONELLE. The night-round met on the outer boulevard, at a pro hibited hour, a young female enjoying a starlight prome nade, and contemplating " la blonde Plurbe" with no common rapture. This romantic pastime is, unfortu nately, written down in the police code as " vagabondage." The peripatetic female was lodged in St. Lazarus, and to day she appeared before the Correctional Tribunal. On her name being called out, she rose and made a profound salutation to the bench. President—What is your name ? Prisoner—Je ne m'appelle pas. President—How ! no name ? Explain yourself. Pri soner—Attendez done attendez done Three years ago they called me " Marie." President—And today ? Prisoner—Je ne m'ap pelle pas. ____ President—Have you changed your name ? Prisoner —lf I have no name, how can I change it ? One changes when one has two thin g s—one for the other. President—Be more rational. Prisoner —Ma foil 'tis you that need to be more ra tional.—(Laughter.) I argue thus :—lf I have two pair of shoes, I change 'em ; if I have only one, I can't change 'em, suppose 'em to be rights-and-lefts ; if I have none at all, Igo bare-foot, and so would you.—(Laughter.) C'est clair, pardi ! What ridiculous questions one gets asked by the big wigs !—(Renewed laughter.) President—You do not choose, then, to inform the Court of your real name ? Prisoner—My three-years old-name, is it ? Marie, Marie, la petite Marie. That was my name three years back ; but now I have no name. Didn't I tell you ? President—You have been arrested in the middle of the night, wandering in the open streets. Have you no asylum? Prisoner—l have a furnished chamber. President—How long had you left it before you were arrested ? Prisoner—Three years.—(Laughter.) President—Where have you lived these three years past ? Prisoner—No where ; no one without a name lives any where. _ President—Where do you sleep ? Prisoner—Three years back I slept in my garni. President—And since ? Prisoner—No where. President—You pass your nights, then, in walking the streets ? Prisoner—l creep into the alleys. President—But it is . impossible that you could sleep there every night during the cold weather ? Prisoner— It is three years since the winter passed away. Prisoner—Do you know no one in Paris ? Prisoner —I have not that honour. President—Where do you take your meals ? Prisoner —ln my hand.—(Laughter.) President—Where do you eat ? Prisoner—l don't eat. I have not dined these three years. President—Come, give us some particulars as to your " antecedents." Prisoner—" Antecedents !" What's that ? Connais pas It was discovered by the testimony of other witnesses, that Marie had met with an afflicting bereavement, the loss of her only infant, three years ago, and has been completely insane ever since. Arrangements were made for placing her in an institution. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LlFE.—Early on Monday morning last, a most terrific explosion took place at Dowse's factory, at Mold-green, near Huddersfield, throwing the quiet inhabitants of that locality into a state of the greatest consterna tion. On proceeding to the spot we were struck with dismay at the horrid spectacle which presented itself. The large boiler which had been but very recently erected, and was only worked for the first time on last Tuesday week, had burst, scattering destruction around. It occurred just previous to the time of starting the engine " (six o'clock), when many of the girls employed in the mill were standing in the yard, near the boiler-house (which is partly detached from the building), waiting for the engine to start, when the bursting of the boiler took place, as above stated, throw ing its - boiling contents over the hapless girls, and scalding them in the most horrible manner, at the same time throwing three of them completely over the pail ings into the mill-dam, whence the engine was supplied with water. The names of the unfortunate sufferers are Sarah Dowlass, Sarah Broadley, Emma Boothroyd, Martha Northrop, Hannah Milnes, and Mary Holden, the whole of them residing in the vicinity of the fac tory, or at no great distance. They were conveyed with all possible speed to their respective homes in a state that almost defies description, the flesh and skin of many of them coming away like ribands. Their ages we learn to be from fourteen to fifteen. Such was the violence of the explosion, that the boiler was completely blown out of its place, and turned bottom upwards, the lower end of it being thrown near 20 yards distant, while numbers of the bricks and stones were blown to a distance of from forty to fifty yards. We have not at present heard by what accident the bursting was occasioned. The first named girl, Dowlass, expired at about half-past one o'clock the stune day; and the second, Broadley, lies in the most excruciating agony, without the least hope ; the others are most shockingly scalded, and one in a most precarious state. Since the above was in type we have learned that the girl Boothroyd also died on Thursday evening. —Leeds Intelligencer.

In Ireland, which for the last three years has not yielded an average crop of wheat, that grain will be almost totally spoiled. We do not imagine, however, that as great a breadth of land has been devoted to the cultivation of this crop as in former years : so tkat we shall be less sufferers than we would have been had not Irish farmers, alarmed at their ill-success in former sea sons, abstained from growing a large crop of wheat.— Dublin Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 9. PEYTON V. HUGHES. This is an argument on the construction of the will of Mr. Lambert, who died in rs 14. The case comes on for further directions on the death of the person who had been declared entitled to a life interest in the fund, which now amounts to 60,0001. The will was made by the testator at the age of ninety-eight. It is in his own handwriting, and very legible, but obscurely worded ; and it appear. to disinherit his daughter and her issue, giving the reversion to his grand nieces. A number of counsel have been already heard in favour, of. different parties. Sir W. Follett and Mr. Sharp were this morning heard for the heir-at-law. Mr. Peyton contended that the will was void from un certainty. Mr. Wakefield and others were heard for other parties. Mr. Sinney replied on the part 'of the nieces of the testator. Judgment was postponed. His Lordship then heard some lunatic petitions, and rose at half-past five. AUGUST 10. , The Loan CHANCELLOR was engaged the greater part of the morning in hearing petitions relating to the es tates and persons of lunatics. This Court will not sit to-morrow, as his Lordship has to attend a Cabinet Council at Windsor. ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 9. His Lordship the Master of the Rolls was engaged during the day in hearing notions. In answer to a question from Mr. Pemberton, as to the business of his Lordship would proceed with to-morrow, the last day of sitting, His LonnsuiP said; that if the parties desired it, he would not refuse to sit a day longer. But he was sorry that parties thought it worth their while to postpone matters on the chance of having them heard on the last day of sitting. AUGUST 10. THE MAYOR OE ARUNDEL V. HOLMES-JUDGMENT. The MASTER. of the ROLLS gave judgment in the above cause this morning, and dismissed both bills with costs. His Lordship said that he was of opinion that the lease granted to Holmes was void, but that the Corporation of Arundel should have brought their action at law instead of proceeding in equity. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Aug. 10. (Before sir C. WILLIAMS.) IN THE MATTER OF ANTHONY LEE. This day having . been appointed for receiving proofs 'under the fiat against the bankrupt, who carried on bu siness as a banker at Guilford, in the county of Surrey, a sum of 17,242/. Bs. 10d. was proved on behalf of Mr. John Sparkes of Gosden, also in Surrey, subject to a revision and examination of the accounts. (Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.) IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD B. CULLYER. The bankrupt appeared in Court to pass his final exa mination. He was described as a currier residing in Clifton-street, Finsbury, and late of Norwich. His liabilities were stated to be 994/., and the available assets to consist of a freehold property in Norwich, which would realise by sale about 900/. After a short examination quite destitute of general interest, the Learned COMMISSIONER adjudged the bank rupt to be entitled to pass. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 9. (Before Mr. Commissioner BowEN.) RE JAMES HUNTER. The applicant for his discharge under the Benevolent Act of 1 and 2 Victoria, is a surgeon-dentist, described as late of Gower-street, Bedford-square, whose exa mination was cut short, it being fully demonstrated to the Court that the insolvent was not in a situation to answer the questions put to him when the moral obliga tion of an oath was considered binding, he being evi dently in an inebriated state, and laughing when he ought to have been serious. For this act of indiscretion the Court said he should be remanded for a week. Remanded accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. On Monday these Sessions commenced, before Mr. Sergeant Adams and a full bench of Magistrates. The calendar is a very light one, there being but 35 prisoners for trial, 20 of whom are charged with felony, and the remainder with assaults, misdemeanours, &c. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The CHAIRMAN, after briefly explaining to them the nature of their duties, said that the Court had been fre quently put to very great inconvenience by gentlemen being summoned to serve on the Grand Jury who were past the age at which the law exempted them from serving ; and, in order to prevent the thing in future, he suggested that all persons who, from that or any other causes, were exempt from serving on Grand Juries, should at once have their names struck off the list of per sons liable to serve on Juries, and the present was about the proper time for so doing, for on the three first Sun days of next month a list of the persons so liable to serve would be placed on the doors of the different churches and chapels in the county. If those legally exempt would apply to the magistrates at the Petty Sessions in the fol lowing week, and prove their right to exemption, their names would be struck out of such lists previous to being forwarded to the summoning officers. Such a proceeding would save not only them, but also the Court, a great dent of trouble, and an unnecessary waste of the pub lic time. ASSAULT ON THE PoLicE.—Mr. Clarkson stated that he was instructed to make an application to the Court in the case of John Gollop, who was indicted last June sessions for a most brutal assault upon several policemen, but who being unwell was unable to take his trial. His companions were tried last sessions and convicted. The indictment had been preferred by the direction of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Go vernment having come to the determination, in future, of instituting prosecutions in all cases where the police were brutally assaulted. He now held in his hand a eartificate of the surgeon of the New Prison, stating that the prisoner was still in such a state of health as to be unable to take his trial ; but that functionary further stated that in his opinion the prisoner did all in his power to retard his recovery. One of the policemen who had been assaulted had been in a very bad state ever since, and an abscess had formed in his side, which might prove fatal. He therefore hoped the Court would order the trial to take place with as little delay as pos sible. Mr. Vizard, the solicitor to the Home Depart ment, was in attendance, together with the witnesses for the prosecution. The CHAIRMAN, after consulting with the Governor of the New Prison, ordered the trial of the prisoner to be postponed until the adjournment day. ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—David Venables was indicted for unlawfully escaping from the West m i ns t er N ew Bridewell, on the 4th of September last. The prisoner pleaded guilty. After his escape, nothing more was heard of the pri soner until about two months afterwards, when the Go 'vernor received information that he was confined in St. Alban's gaol for felony. The Governor lodged a detainer against him, and at the expiration of the term he was brought up to London. Ile was then sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction, at the expi ration of which time he will be taken back to Westmin ster Bridewell, there to undergo the remainder of the sentence passed upon him at the Westminster Sessions. The Consecration of the Bishop of Evreux was solemnised on Friday morning at half-past eight, in the church of Saint Roch, by the Archbishop of Paris, who returned on Thursday from Belgium, assisted by the Bishops of Versailles and Sees, and in the presence of the late Bishop of Beauvais, the Pope's Internuncio, and a large body of clerical dignitaries. The President of the Council, _the Keeper of the Seals, the Ministers of the Interior, Foreign Affairs, Public Instruction, and Fi nances, the Prefect of the Seine, the Mayors of the first and second Arrondissements, the Colonel of the 2d Legion of the National Guard, and a deputation from Evreux, with a great number of personages of distinction in Paris, added by their attendance to the interest of the scene. As early as six the doors were opened, and soon afterwards the church was filled. The grand ceremony was not concluded till half-past ten. The Queen has made presents to the new Bishop of the greatest splen dour, richly decorated with gold and precious stones, to be used in the exercise of the sacred office, and has been imitated by other persons to a very large amount. The Duchess of Orleans also sent to the Prelate some orna ments of great beauty, accompanied by a request that, when he should wear them, he would pray for her chil dren. The Bishop, in accepting them, returned his thanks to the Princess Royal, who, as our readers are aware, is a Protestant, and assured her Royal Highness that not only would he do so, but would pray for her also. The total value of the various presents received by the Prelate is stated to be upwards of 100,000 fr. The Bishop left Paris for his diocese on Monday, and made his entree at Evreux next day. After the usual ceremony at the Cathedral, the Bishop gave a grand dinner. ITHE CHINA WAR.—Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., and Admiral Sir W. Parker, arrived at Aden on their way to China early on the morning of th e 29th June, and proceeded to Bombay in the afternoon of the same day. Sir Henry Pottinger purposed to set off for China in one of the Company's steam frigates as soon as practicable after reaching Bombay, and expected to reach China the first week in August. Sir Henry's health app eare d p e rfectly re-establi s h e d b y hi s trip, and he embarked from Aden in the full enjoyment of all his mental and bodily energies. Sir W. Parker was much disappointed on finding that the Endymion frigate had let Aden for Bombay, as it was the Admiral's wish to have hoisted his flag on board her. The Endymion reached Aden in a leaky state, having struck on a reef in the Mozambique Channel; and Captain Grey deemed it requisite to sail for Bombay, that the frigate might be docked and examined. On her voyage out she sprung her mainmast between decks, and this, with a leak which could not be got at, determined Captain Grey not to await the arrival of Sir W. Parker. The Admiral will probably proceed in her to China from Bombay. We have good authority for stating that Sir 11. Pottinger has proceeded to China with the most ample powers, and that his policy has not been restricted by minute instructions. It is probable that on his arrival in China he will demand by an ultimatum the terms on which p eace can b e conc l u d e d ; an d if notim mediately acceded to, he will direct our combined land and sea forces against Pekin. We havelgreat confi dence in the firm and unflinching character of Sir H. Pottinger, and-we sincerely believe that a more fit per son could not have been selected to carry out the ener getic measures now required. It is, however, to be re gretted that hi s pre d ecessor s h ou ld h ave b een tied down by his instructions to the adoption of a mode of treaty which, originating in the clemency of a generous and powerful nation, has been unfortunately construed by the Emperor of China into mere pusillanimity. With Eastern nations forbearance is synonymous with weak. ness.—Naval and Military Gazette. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE CROWN OFFICE, Aus. 10, 1841.

Company's Congou in demand at 2s. 7id. per lb. cash. The general opinion is that prices will advance considerably ere long, there being now but few good useful Teas left in stock. TALLOW MARKET. The price continues high ; sales were made in Fine Yel Inw Candle on the spot at 495. 3d., and at 495. 6d. to arrive, The market was. however, far from active. WHI I'ECEIAPEL HAYMARKET.
