The cloth haVing been removed and " Benedictus" sung, the Chairman proposed in succession the usual loyal toasts, whieh were responded to with the utmost enthusiasm, the CHAIRMAN, in giving " The Army and Navy," said that their Noble Chairman last year had said, in giving that to ast, that he trusted it might be long before the services of the army and navy would be again required. Ile little anticipated that within a few months they would be again called into ac tit, ; but they had been called into action upon the scene of their former exertions, and they had not been found wanting ' the ma i ntenance of their own and the national glory ; for ess after fortress had f Alen at their approach, and their suc cess had been moat complete.—(Loud cheers.)

Th e c H MN AIR A , in proposing the next toast, " Prosperity the Newspaper cea se Press Benevolent A s - sociaeon," said he now to the toast peculiar to the occasion. H e w i s hed that he P, o a ssessed t o me of that distinguished eloque nce Whi c h on a b'ermhe,r,oceasion h a d enlightened and adorned the subject which ad now to treat ; but as every age could not have two not 't lo- 2 men as Lord B roug h am an d Lord Lyndhurst, so it was afte given to one A ssoc i at i on to h ave 'its festival graced year Year by such eloquence.-(Cheers.)

He need not urge further 9 claim s of th o s e who had the labcrious task of furnihing ••th k _at dail y amount of amusement and information ; of all la oat intellectual labour was that which most exhausted the ' - t d who were engaged in it; and when they thought of the r ekd id a in ig e ll 3 t . toil, of the journeys by sea and land, of the ability, tha , and industry required for the instant production of which will interest and entertain from hour 'to hour, it gust be a c k now l edged that of all l i terary men t h ose engage d furnishing the food of the daily press were the most de aerie, b, g :. of sympathy and . support.—(Cheers.) He concluded t el s alog that as the ipress had given them much, he hoped f e c Y would in return eontribute liberally to the funds of this " s d itu tion.—(Cheers.) The toast was received with great warmth and enthusiam. ' l) r- SHERID AN , the Chairman of the Directors, in return the thank s on behalf of the Association, said that the cause ',Bich he advocated would compensate for his deficiency ; for rwas. the cause of pure find unalloyed benevolence, which never erf e d „ % eloquent or elaborate recommendation to elicit j i "so sympathy. It was essential to the character of this In ! tuition that it should be recognised as one of a purely chari table natur e ; he could state positively that no one of its mem f had joined the Association with a view to derive benefit r orn it himself—( Cheers )--and if it should in any case become l a ' a eees sary, the cons c i o u s ness of having c on t r ib u t e d t o the fund ti _ 0 eld diminish the pain of receving pecuniary assistance. It ad bee n said that they ought i to depend entirely upon their ‘)•." r e'onecee ; but their numbers were not sufficient to enable Pub ra to rrovEe for those who might fall Sato decay without lio aid, and in receiving that aid they only imitated the ho turable example of the officers of her Majesty's army and navy, e ,'°se excellent institution—the United Service Benevolent In '. *".ttition—rlid not hesitate to receive public aid.—(Cheers. ) Hitherto no member had applied for relief, but death had been bus y e with them, and fortunately they had found the means of l - "°tding some relief and assistance to the mother and children eprived of - their natural protector in more than two cases. Ir as it not, he asked, emphatically more commendable to as 14:fate together for the relief of distressed members accepting . 1 " Public aid, than to leave the unfortunate amongst them de • t'lltient on casual relief, or perchance to perish in the streets ? e put thete question emphatically to those' who had hitherto refrained - from joining the association. Many who rose to ele . * ale(' stations from the press were afterwards ashamed of the e-a onection ; the press had many ungrateful offspring; he trusted that- he should never be one.

SPI”IT of the PUBIJC JOURNALS. noose THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The vote of Saturday morning would be received in/ the country as decisive with regard to any expec tations of an improvenient of our legislation from the present Parliament. In fact, the present Parliament, for all but mete matters of course, necessary for carrying on the public busi ness of the country, may now be considered as dissolved. This issue vas ant icipatedfrem the moment Ministers announced their intention !of attacking interests all-powerful in Parliament. Ministers have done their part. They have thrown the Corn law question on the people themselves. The opportunity can not be too highly prized. The people have the satis faction of knowing that their Queen is with them. That her confidence in Ministers is not shaken by the vote of the House of Commons, is proved by her compliance with the advice tendered to her by Ministers to dissolve the present Parliament. Ministers by giving this advice have launched the question. It remains to be seen whether the people will respond to the confidence reposed in them by their Sovereign, and afford that support to her Ministers .by which alone they can hope to carry out measures of the utmost im portance to the well-being of the country. The people are now on their trial. They have with them their Queen and her Minis ters, and if they nejleet the precious oppnrtunity,the whole crew of monopolists will afterwards laugh to scorn all who, in the name of the people, call for cheap bread. If, with a Sovereign and a Ministry favourable to a repeal of the monopoly of corn, the people fail to do their part, under what combination of circumstance , can they hope to be re lieved from this monstrous evil? The landowners have deter mined that the commerce and manufactures of the country, which are now staggering under the corn monopoly, shall be sacrificed, rather than they will consent to any relaxation of the monopoly. When the evil has been consummated—when rem agriculture, which as Sir Robert Peel himself admits, is dependent on the prosperity of cur manufactures, has sunk under decreasing demand and increased burdens—then the landowners themselves will call for a repeal of the Corn-laws, but then it will be too late to recover our lost trade. The pre sent opportunity neglected, no chance wili he left of any good to the people from a late and unprofitable repentance of:he lan downers. Whtls it is yet time to secure to the industrious millions of this country the means of profitable employment and sufficient remuneration, we call on the constituencies to bethink them of the awful responsibility which has devolved on them. Never before in the history of this country was there an election fraught with such important consequences as that which is now about to take place. The crisis is one which will be decisive not only of the future condition of the country, hot of the cha racter of the people themselves. If they suffer themselves to be biassed by paltry considerations—if, at a time when Eng land's weal or woe hangs in the balance, they suffer themselves to be bullied or bribed—if they lose sight of the objects for the sake of which the Reform Bill itself was deemed but a means —the reputation of the country will sink v ith its industry and commerce. TIMES.—The event•of Sir Robert Peel's motion has been the happiest possible both for the Constitution and for the country. Every one must perceive that, although a trifling majority for Ministers on such an occasion would, as Lord Stanley truly observed, have been (according to all constitu tional precedent) equivalent to a defeat, the moral effect is infinitely greater when they are left in an actual minority. A resolution of want of confidence has always been the most difficult point for an Opposition; however powerful, to carry ; it was a step which even Lord J. Russell did not feel strong enough to propose when Sir R. Peel held office in 1835. An Opposition which can do what Sir R. Peel' has now succeeded in doing might confidently reckon upon such support as would enable it, when backed by the weight of official influence and the confidence of the Crown, to carry on the Government without a dissolution of Parlia ment. It may seem, however, a paradox to some, that we should call the result the happiest possible; that we should proclaim not only the fact, but the amount of the majority, to be matter of exultation. But so it is, by a singular con junction of circumstances, that while success upon this ques tion was of the greatest importance, it was nevertheless desirable to succeed by the smallest possible majority. Had the numbers for Sir Robert Peel's resolution been greater, the increase must have come from a quarter whose resistance, at the present moment, is of more value to the Conservative party than its support. The House of Commons could not have pronounced a clearer or more influential deci sion against Ministers, if some half dozen or more agricul tural Whigs, who voted for the Anti Corn-law Government, had ranged themselves upon the winning side ; nor would the effect of that decision upon the actual Ministerial en is have been in any degree different from what it must be now. Messrs. Hand ley and Co., therefore, would have done nothing to promote the success of the Conservative cause, if they had voted upon this occasion according to the wishes of their constituents. As it is, they have done the Conservative cause excellent service—bett.r service, indeed, than we should have supposed it possible for so small a knot of such inconsiderable persons to do: they have actually made the Conservatives a present of eight or ten seats in Parliament, making a difference of sixteen or twenty votes upon a division, which by following a more plausible or more independent course they might them selves have still continued to occupy, to the serious embar rassment of the future Government upon all questions of ge neral policy. Such must be the consequences of Sir R. Peel's success by a majority of one, considered with reference to the dissolution, which that success not only renders certain, but must very rr aterially accelerate. HER A LD.—ln a day or two we shall have occasion to show, in treating of the Corn-law question, that the most barefaced frauds are practised in getting up, by means of a combination or conspiracy to defraud (the Legidature) the anti-petitions on that question. But more or less, the same vice is introduced into the preparation of pititions on all other matters of great public interest. Now the absurdity of the practice is, that the very nature of the term "petition" suggests the no tion of some party which asks a favour or a right—soli cits a grace or presses a privilege—of or from a superior. But if the array of vast numbers avowedly congregated to give the more imposing effect to their petition, and an intl.. nitesimal multiplication of that petition by an extensive con federacy of agents, with the declared purpose of making the concession of their prayer irresistible ft one the mass of its re petitions;- if these practices are to be recognised as legitimate on the part of the petitioners, the body petitioned has no free agency. If it yield, it yields to constraint. If it yield to eon 'Straint it does not acknow!edge the right of petition, but the right of the many to coerce the few. Parliament itself,— and the Courts of Law in administering the statutes passed by Par liament,—have not been so remiss, in periods of our history still recent, in guarding whilst they defined, this noble privilege. , Thus, on the trialftvf Lord George Gordon, Lord Mansfield and the Court declared that they were clearly of opinion that the statute (13 Car. 11., st. 1, c: 5, directed among other things against the offence of tumultuous petitioning) was not, in any degree affected by the Bill of Rights (1 W. and M., st. 2, c. 2). We, for our own parts, stand up for the undoubted, constitu tional right of petition,—(in its constitutional exercise, that is, unabused and unperverteel,)—to that ample and absolute ex tent at which we find it laid down by the highest authorities -on such subjects. POST. —'fhe position of the Ministry is simply this that, in the opinion of the House of Commons, as re corded upon the journals of that House; the existence of the Administration is at variance with the spirit of Constitution. How long this " Liberal " Government is to remain, depending upon the favour of the Crown, although rebuked and disowned by the representatives of the people, it were a rash thing to prophecy. We do not presume to test the measure of Whig-Radical audacity, or the length to which it may think proper to . go, in showing the most reckless disregard of that constitutional authority which the party once professed to hold in so much rever ence. It is generally understood that the Cabinet Councils which were held on. Saturday led to no definitive result. The agony of indecision has been but increased by a conside ration of the circumstances which surround the present Government. There are three courses which may be taken. The Government may persevere (in defiance of the decision of the House of Commons that the continu ance of its existence is unconstitutioral), and may en deavour to bring on the Corn-law discussion. This is the first course. Secondly, The Government may at once dissolve the Parliament; and thirdly, it may resign with out dissolving. As to the first course, it is understood that, besides the direct opposition to the judgment of the Muse of Commons which it would involve, Ministers are unwilling to exhibit themselves at the close in a still worse position that' that which they occupied on Saturday morning. 'I he idea that the country would be influenced in their favour by their speeches on the Corn-la* question, seems to be abandoned by all but the Ministerial prints as utterly absurd. ELECTION MOVEMENTS. (mom A CORRESPONIENT.) MastorEsrea.—All is excitement here, and the glorious Anti-Corn-law League will exercise an important influence in deciding the fate of the election. Sir George Murray's chance is sadly impaired by the introduction of a second Tory candi date in the person of Mr. W. Entwisle. Sir George has pub licly announced himself as favourable to a fixed duty of Bs. It wont suit here—Alanchester views a fixed duty as a fixed in justice. Sir George will no doubt poll more votes than. Mr. Entwisle, but Philips and Gib , on are sure to head him if pledges are honourably kept. Mr. Philips will be at the top of the poll, let the election come when it may. SALFORM—The Reformers must not be too sure here, and allow their energies to slumber. Money will abound, and its application has considerable weight. It is Air. Garnett's last effort, and Tory desperation will be their game. Mr. Brother ton's zeal and constant attendance in the House of commons has caused the Tories to designate him, in the bitterness of their wrath, " The Salford Watchman ;,' but Mr. Garnett is certainly not fit to carry the watchmnn's lantern, and would, to use an Irish:sm, be found to progress backwards. It will be a more severe race than some imagine. - Asierote.—No one is announced here in opposition to the present Member, Charles Hindley, Esq. ; and his visit last Tuesday evening has united the Reformers in one cause, viz., abolition of all monopolies. The Tories are almost sere to bring forward a candidate, and as surely will they be defeated. They want a candidate who will bleed. Saver:roam—Major Marsland's political days are num bered. Mr. Richard Cobden has consented to sit in his stead. This announcement has paralyzed the Stockport Tories, who are Mad with rage. The requisition to Mr. Cobden contains 570 voters, and the total numb-i upon the registration list does not reach 1,100, and the same party giving their support to Mr. N. Marsland, it is• not presumptuous in saying Stockport is safe. Free trade and Cobden are synonymous, and in his elec tion old St. Stephens will receive an intrepid and fearless pleader for freedom of trade and an unrestricted intercourse with those nations who will give us toed for our goods. ROCHDALE.—Mr. James Fenton is put forward by the To ries, his name being the prineil:al cause of their kind solicita tions, as they imagine some weak-minded creatures will not oppose a Fenton. But• if shameless pledge breaking is not acted upon, Mr. Sharman Crawford is secure. NoaTtr CIIESHIRE.—The vast bulk of the commercial gen try have already determined to support Mr. E. J. Stanley at the forthcoming election. At the head stands 111 r. Thomas Ashton of Hyde, one of the largest, oldest, and most influential manufacturers of that division, and at this important crisis the man who supports a monopolist in preference to Air. Stanley is either mentally incapacited or. morally unfitted to exercise the right of a freeman. NORTH WALES. The recent defeat of the Ministry on the question of cheap sugar, ano Sir Robert Peel's 'attempt to preclude all discussion likely to lead to cheap corn and to cheap timber, have roused the constituencies of the counties and boroughs of North Wales ; and induced a feeling of abhoirence towards the Tories, and gratitude towards the Cabinet, which promises fair to elicit some beneficial changes in thereiTesentation. CARNAILVONSIIIRE--We are not, at present, able to an nounce an opponent to that young sprig of Toryim, J.- 0. Gore, Esq. ; but a strong hope and trust remain that some Liberal candidate will vet step forward to free the county of Carnarvon from so ralpable a misrepresentation. ANGLESEY.—Here, we are happy to gate, no opposition has been announced, either for the county or the boroughs, the Honourable W. 0. Stanley and Colonel Frederic Paget being too firmly seated in the affections an I gratitude. of their constituents, to permit an opponent to come forward with the probability of success. DENBIGIISIIIRE. — The county , as far as we yet see, must still bear the odium of being represented by the Hon. W. 13agot and the' Hon. H. Cholmondeley. FLINTSIIIRE.—By an addrtss in our present columns, it be seen that the lion. E. M. Lloyd Mostyn has offered himself for the county, to the presznt mortification, and .doubtless the future defeat, of that persecuting bigot and electioneering trafficker, Sir' Stephen Glynne. The honour.. able gentleman' return will afford a • triumph to the twin ~~ E S cause of civil and religious freedom, and replace the house of .Ilost yr, in that positi,n, which wou:d never have been lost to it, but by the grossest perfidy and fraud on the part of its un principled opponents. For the counties and boroughs of Me rioneth and Montgomery no authentic rumours of intended change have yet reached us.— Carnarvon Herald. CARNARVON.—Lord George Paget arrived in Carnarvon on the morning of Monday last, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the pe-ple, end a royal salute from Twt-hill. During the day he canvassed a great portion of the town, and met with the most marked sucees. On Tuesday he canvassed Bangor with a similar result. His reception in Carnarvon on Wed nesday left no doubt that the vast majority of electors in the borough will record their votes on his behalf. At Pwllheli, on Thursday, his success was equally flattering; and if Nevin, Criceeth. and Conway, do but their duty, there can be no, doubt as to the restilt.—Carnarron Herald. FrANTsutur.—ln responding to to of hiu►- self fix the representation of the Flints!:ire borcrighs, Sir Richard Bulke!ey appeals to the principles which have hitherto governed him in public life. It is as a steady and consistent Reformer, friendly •to " progressive, but well, considered im provements," that he seeks the suffrages of the electors ; and feeling that on every occasion he has been " attached to Liberal principles, without being a slavt, to party," he frankly declares " that the present crisis requires, perhaps more than anyformer one, a freedom from its bias.' He speaks as an agriculturist and frankly tells the electors that a fixed duty is better than the sliding scale, and that the only question is as to its amount. We sincerely recommend the worthy and enlightened Baronet to the votes of the elector:, particularly of the agricultural electors.— Carnarrog Herald. (From the Sco:sman.l ELECTION PROSPECTS. An article under this title appeared in the Observer of yes terday, which we copy with two or three corrections : In the city of Edinburgh and town of Leith there will be no change. In the present vitiated state of the constituency, it would be absurd in Mr. GibsDn Craig to offer himself again for the county; awl as for Mr. Ramsay, of Barnton, he is em ployed so much more to his taste in driving stage- coaches, that it is understood he declines to corns forward. The apes altera of the Tories will therefore be Sir George Clerk. We believe our Contemporary is mistaken in saying that there will be contests in PeeblesShire and Selkirk. The HaMington burghs will be contested by Mr. Robert Steuart, and Mr. Balfour, younger, of Whittingham. The sitting Member will be re-elected. The county of Hadding ton, we fear, wiil cominue in the hands of the Conservatives. The same may be said of Berwickshire; but in Berwick-on Tweed it is expected a Liberal will supplant a Tory. The prospects of the Liberals in Roxburghshire are less fa vourable than at last election. The Duke of Roxburgh, it seems, is opposed to Ministers on the Corn-lavr question, but he is an honourable man, and the rumours mentioned by our Contemporary, that he has ratted to the Tories, surely cannot be true. Dumfriesshire, it is suppo3ed, will re-elect Mr. Hope John stone, but there will be a contest in the burglu. Mr. Ewart stands on the Liberal interest, in the place of General Sharp, who retires. In Wigtonshire, Captain Dalrymple, nephew of the Earl of Stair, has every prospect of taking the place of Mr. Blair; while Mr. M'Taggart is safe in the burghs. Kirkcudbright will again return Mr. Murray, of Broughton. There may, however, be a contest. Ayrshire ought to oust Lord Kelburne, but it will not. Lord J. Stuart is threatened with a contest in the burgh!, but we be hove he will be again returned. Mr. Colquhoun has every chance of being ejected from the Kilmarnock burghs. Buteshire is a pocket county, with which Lord Bute does as he sees fit. It is probable there will be contests in the counties of Ren frew, Lanark, Dumbarton, and Stirling. We regret to learn that Mr. Campbell, of Islay, resigns the representation of Ar gyllshire, from deference to the political feelings of his uncle, the Duke. The city of Glasgow is safe, as alio Paisley and Greenock. There, will be a contest in the Stirling burghs be tween a Whig and a Radical. The county of Linlithgow will remain Tory ; but the Con servatives will not manage to eject Mr. Gillen from the Fal kirk burghs. Neither in Fifeshire, rot- in the Kirkcaldy, nor St. Andrew's district of burghs will there be any change. Captain Wemyss has alwaya been an opponent of the present system of Corn laws, and Colonel Ferguson and Mr. Ellice are both re pealers. The Conservatives may, indeed, try their strength in the St. Andrew's district, but unless they make a more for tunate choice than the Quixotic Laird of Rankeillour, they had better not move in the matter. Perthshire will continue in the hands of the Conservatives ; but the city, true to Liberalism, will elect Mr. Fox Maule in the place of Mr. Greig. Lord D. G. Hallyburton retires from the representation of Forfarshire, but a second son of Lord Patnnure will support the Liberal cause. Dundee will return a staunch supporter of commercial reform, though it is probable Sir H. Parnell will -- not again represent that enterprising constituency. The counties of Kincardine, Aberdeen, Elgin, and Inver ness, will again return Conservatives ; but Sir G. Sinclair will be supplanted in Caithness-by Mr. Traiii. Mr. Duff and Mr. Dut das will be re-elected for Banff and Sutherland. In the northern burghs there will be a contest ; but Mr. Loch will be re-elected, as also Mr. Morrison for Inverness; Colonel Leith Hay will be the Member for Elgin, &c. In Orkney and Shetland, the influence of Earl Zetland will secure the return of a Liberal. TORY PRECEDENTS-1784-5.

The Select Committee of Secrecy appointed to inquire into the Effects produced on the Circulation of the Country by the various Banking Establishments issuing Notes payable on demand; and who were empowered to report from time to time to the House;--have considered the matters referred to them, and have agreed to the following their First Report : Your Committee having examined Witnesses connected with Banks of Issue in all parts of the United Kingdom, are of opinion, that it is expedient that an account should be pub lished more frequently than is now required, showing with greater accuracy, and at shorter intervals, the average amount of I'rcmissory Notes payable on demand, which are in cir culation in England aid Wales, to ;ether with the average amount of BuLion in the Bank of England ; and that at the came time there should be published a similar account of the average amount of Batik Notes in circulation in Scotland and Ireland. The witnesses whom they have eLamined unanimously con cur in the opinion that there would be no objection on the part of the various Banks of Issue to such a publication, and many of theM state that it is highly desirable. Your Committee have, therefore, thought it advisable, with out waiting till they have brought their proceedings to a close, to report their oOnon upon this point to the House ; and to suggest the expediency of passing a 11111 without delay, amend ing and extending the provisions of the Act 3 and 4 Will.

The premises were three stories high, and were constructed pi , incipally of wood, having a white frontage, and several so tall outbuildings at the back.

Countrymen, —It is now tiro months since, being armed, we have raised suppliant eries to the Three Great Powers of England, France, and Russia, demanding in the name of hu manity that they would furnish us with the rights of men. Since then, countrymen ! we have expressed, either viva voce or by writings, private or published, those sincere sentiments, which our actions have sufficiently confirmed. From what we can perceive, however, an insidious policy keeps you separate from your own interests. Already a governing body, both consultative and executive, has been formed, in order to look after the common interests of our country, and to watch over the tranquility, good order, and prosperity of its inhabitants, whose duty it considers it to be to invite you officially not to leave your houses and pos sessions to the discretion of the first corner, that not being just. whilst the Government takes care of the general interests of the country as well as of your private affairs. As you well know, officious persons exist, esemiet of our country, who, whilst they avoid the attention of those who watch, find pleasure in troubling your affairs in order to give motives for scandal. The Government invites you to come forth fearlessy with your families and look after your own property, both real and personal. It suffices only that you behave decently and honestly, not manifesting any hostile disposition towards us, for you must be well assured that our demands are made as much with a view to your interests as to our own. For your further assurance it is necessary to inform you that in the reports we have addressed to the three great Powers, we have stated, that the Cretans do not desire to drive out,. nor do any injury to, the Ottoman inhabitants of that country, but, on the contrary, that they may continue to reside in the country which gave them birth, and there enjoy their property, as well as the same rights and privileges as the Christians them selves enjoy, without any exception." Such, 0 countrymen ! such are our sentiments. Do riot allow yourselves to be deceived by those whose interest it is to see both you and ourselves disappear from the land of Crete, the dear country of our Lirth.

The Austrian Observer gives the following from Conn. nople, May 12 : " The Divan has just addressed to the Ambassadors of the foreign Powers the following . nate relative to the revolt whim has lately broken out in Bulgaria :---‘ According; to accounts which we have r.'oeived from Bulgaria, Sabri Pacha, the Commandant of Nissa, had sent to the rebels a deputation of Notables, to summon them to make known their wishes, and to return to their duty. The rebels, however, paid no attention to the observations made to them, but, on the contrary, took them prisoners, and treated them with great violence. It therefore became necessary for him to march against them in order to restore order. During the struggle which ensued, villages were burnt, rob beries took places, and many of the inhabitants driven from their homes. iihese acts, however, are in direct opposition to the spirit of justice of our sovereign, and the excesses have not been committed by our own troops, but by the Albanians as sembled in those parts. His Highness has, therefore, issued a firman, ordering inquiries to be made into the excesses which have been committed. The articles which have been carried off will be given back to the owners, and the individuals taken from their homes will be restored to liberty. Excesses of this kind must be avoided in future. Tempt Bey, deputy in the office of the Minister of Justice, is the bearer of this firman to Nissa. Jakul Pacha, &twilit. of Adrianople, has also left for that place, to watch over the maintenance of public order and to restore confidence." The Malta Times contains the following letter from Con stantinople, .Alay . 17 : . . The affair of Bulgaria appears to be brought to a close. and the means adopted for this purpose have been more cruel and inhuman than any we have heard of since the Greek war of independence. Tehar Kieny and all the villages for twenty miles round it have been burnt, sacked, or laid in ruins ; and those of the inhabitants who were not murdered, have been dragged off into slavery or concubinage by the ruffian Alba nians. But in justice to the Sultan and his higher officer here, let it be known that the act has keen committed to their great regret, and without any orders on their part. The Sultan has despatched an officer of his palace to restore to the stiff ferers whatever part of their property may yet be worth owning, and to protect the widows and orphans; The Greeks have been the principal sufferer!. •and the treatment received by them will be far from conciliating the feelings of the Greeks of Thessalonia and the island in favour of the Turks and their Government. It is said that some six hundred of the poor peasants, whose prayers for redress and protection against their avaricious governor and his myrmidons now is deemed just, have been killed or dragged into prisons. The news from Greece is operating a change in the minds of the Turks with regard to the Greek people. They are astonished to hear that the handful of Rayahs over whom they once lorded, have grown up to be a nation, prosperous and prospering, whilst, they have only retrograded, and that this nation now threatens them with war if their just demands are not accepted."

IMPORTANT TO IRO MASTERS zrWeal of the 2:2(1 and '29ta llay.) LANGUIN IRON AND COAL COMPANY. The operations of this Company (if prosecuted with energy) - tending to have a considerable infinence on the imports into France of coal and iron from:this eountry,., and the Company being represented as having arrived at that point, by the development of their coal-field, which justi fies them in considering' . the 'propriety of irnme, 1 thately erecting furnaces for the manufacture of iron, we' have availed ourselves of the informa tion rendered by parties interested in the under taking, and more especially Mr. Nixon (the en gineer or viewer), in making notes of the progress made and its present position. We observe, by official returns, that the quantity of English coal imported into France in the past twelve months was 394,954 tons, the value of which may be fairly assumed at upwards of 600,000/., and the exports from Belgium to France, in 1838, are given at about 400,000,00 i kilos r ,Tammes. The quantity of iron made in France, Ire find, ranges from 350,000 tons to 380,000 tons per annum, of which not more than one-seventh is made with coke—the latest return made, we believe, giving twenty-two,coke furnaces in activity, NV111C!1, with a weekly make of fifty tons each, would give but 50,000 tons annually—and the . number of furnaces for the n manufacture of iron with charcoal b e i g 443, yielding a produce of about 300,000 tons annually. With reference to..the ; consumption of coal„ we find, from official documents, that in the year 1838, the quantity of coal raised in France was 3,113,5252 tons, and that imported 1,227,030 tons—making an aggregate 0f4,340,5282 tolls. With these data, and the statement embodied in the paper, on the Collieries and Iron Manufactures of Belgium, inserted in another column, it will be at once seen the influence the development of the mineral resources of our continental neigh bours must necessarily have on this Country— and hence our directing attention to this Com pany, more particularly from the extent of its resources, as represented to us. The property possessed by the Company is situate on the banks of the Erdre, about twenty miles from Nantes, eae concession or grant being seven miles in length, on the range of the coal veins, which here take a nearly vertical declina tion, being 80 deg. The veins at present Ivorked, but only partially, are three in number, Varying in thickness of from twelve inches to sixty feet, which is the aggregate at the point of junction, the veins having ben worked through as one mass of coal in certain parts of the old work ings. The three measures, known as the north, central, and south veins, may be said to be com prehended within a space of about seventy yards, but, as already observed, in some places forming a junction. This coal is .said to be the only coal known in the district of the Loire Inferieure adapted for the manufacture of iron, and yields 64 per cent. of coke .of superior quality. The north vein was formerly inter sected at a depth of 415 feet, by a pit rank by the old Proprietors, where the vein was found to be 3 ft. to 3 ft. 6 in., of excellent quality; the coal was, however, never worked at this point, from want of mechanical power, the coming water having so increased as to impede their pro gress, from the circumstance of horses only being used for unwatering the pithy barrels. This pit is now, however ; being cleared of water by the introduJtion of pumps, which has been effected to the depth of 200 fQet, which are worked by the application of flat-rods to a powerful engine, erected on another part of the colliery, where a deep pit, for the " winning" of the three veins, is being sunk. Another pit,. called the " Road Pit," was also put down, which took the three veins, (brining a " bundle," and workings were prosecuted on the range to the extent of 250 yards, but not to any depth or consequence; the coal at this point, as, indeed, may be said to be the case in other parts of the old workings having rather been partially proved than worked, and therefore still standing as whole ground, with such exceptions as may be found in the present statement. At Pit Emma, which is about twenty yards north-west of the latter, a depth was attained of 400 feet, where the north vein was intersected—the thick ness of which was never astertained beyond the size of the pit, 10ft., 3 in. by sft, Min., which was entirely in the coal. In this case, as in the former referred to, on cutting the coal a feeder of water was met with, which dro ~ ned out the workings; and the impracticability, with the power employed, of beating oat the water, led to the discontinuance of favher operations at this point. These two latter pits communicate. with each other by levels or galieries, driven at the respective depths of 270 and 330 feet. About 800 yards to the north-west of Pit Emma another shaft is sunk to the depth of 320 feet, where the coal was cut by driving a short crnss•.eat, being found there to be about six fact thick. Want of power, or engineering ability, in like manner, in this case prevented the pit being sunk to a fur ther depth, but which is now preposed to be done. Indeed, with reference to the three last• mentioned pits, active operations are being car ried on for draining the old workings, and fur ther sinking the pits, by communicating the one with the other at the lower depths. At about 130 yards further north-west another pit has been sunk 300• feet. This pit intersected the three se veral measures, or veins, at a depth of 150 feet, where the thickness of the seams was fbrty-five feet, and has been worked to about . eigl4ty feet 1 deeper than the point of intersection, but not to 1 any great extent in length. Again, further north-west 300 yards, a pit has been sunk by the present proprietors to the depth of 0 00 feet, at which depth another feeder was I cut, which rendered it necessary to discontinue I the working for a time, until extra power was obtained, by attaching flat-rods to the engine ; the thickness of the vein was proved by a cross cut from the shaft, at 170 feet depth, to be twelve! feet in thickness, and which remains unworked I until the pit-work is completed and the water drained. We have thus been minute in detailing the principal workings, to show the extent to which the...olliery may be worked, provided it was unwatered, and that energetic measures be , taken for extending the operations, by sinking the present pits to a greater depth, and opening communications by galleries, with the object 0 affording facility in drawing the water, as also aiding the ventilation. It will be seen that the several veins vary in thickness, as do they in their proxithity to each other—at one time giving an aggregate thickness of four or five feet, in others twenty to thirty, and in some instances of fifty to sixty feet. The operations of the present company have hitherto been principally directed to the sinking of a main engine pit, and to the re-opening of the old pits, and applying machinery for unwatering them. The principal pit on which the large en gine is erected, it is contemplated will afford all the facilities necessary for unwatering thegreater part of the concession, and is at present sunk to the depth of 160 feet, its size (ten feet) being di vided--the one part being employed fbr pinup- . ing, and the other part as a winding pit. At the depth of 100 feet from surface a crosscut was driven to intersect the south vein, which proved to be of about three feet six inches, of very supe rior quality, and thus affording anotlierpoint from which to raise coal, which cross-cut will be con ti e nued -to take the central and north veins—the coal being unworked at this part or the colliery for several hundred yards in extent. The engine is 'described as being equal to 350 to 400-horse power, being 'the largest in France, and calcu lated to draw 300 fathoms, being upwards of four 1 iiiies the depth of the lowestpre:zent works-- ' the pumps employed vaqing from ..ix to twelve inches. , There are also two other engines,- of English manufacture, .one 20-horse. power and the other 40-horse power. . , - , , - . We are given to understand that about 70,000/.. has been expended on the - undertaking—the Ca, pital of the company being -100,000/.—th n alea v ince "1.000/ lo'be called forovlnch it is intended _ „, •,,. , • to apply principally to the erection ofetlus iron works. The assay made of the ironstone which. lies at surface, and is said to extend over a traea . of four miles, gives 43 to . 60 per cent. , lied' tin! analysis of the coal 84 per cent. of pure carliOnl''' The property is held in perpetuity, and not snii4: , ject to any rent or royalty. , We last iveck directed attention to the OleH lions of t hi s company, confining oar observatifir:s;' However, principally to the collieries; as this is the.only.

The main question, however, gppcitrs . to be whether the quality of the iron so mat-Aurae tuied; and the quantity, are likely to supersed:! tlmintroductiou and, ma of mannfirc turein Trance.. Raving prethi se d thus much, we shall Proceed' to make such observation?, on the 't 4 concession 7 ' obtained by the Company, and the prospects held out from three ports mad , .: on the district, as appear to us to be deserving of attention. The first which comes under notice is that of M. Henri Fournel, Ingenieur des Mines, which appears to have been drawn up with a ,- reat care antiprecisima'and affordsstrikingeontrast, we I regret to say, to the reports too generally pre aent kal by Eogjish engineers or mine 47ents----- - that rourael.being clear and comprehensive in its. details, the several points ibr - consideration being treated upon separately, and the results readily . .arrived at, while each subjectmeets with attention. We wish we. could say. as vouch. of " reports" at home. Take, for instance, Mr. Holdsworth's Report on the far-famed Talacre coal and iron district, which appeared in our columns—a Report so general, and, indeed., so confused ' that it m a tt ers li tt l e w h et h er i L b e • real backwards or forwards. We musaa of eoarse, . admit. that --there -are exceptions, rand our Journal of the present week affords a -13baas ing instance in the Report of Mr. Mattoia.s Dunn, on the property of the Durham - Col inty Coal Company—that - - gentleman having :L'ear lessly grappled with figures, and given his ho nest and unbiased . : opinion. Yet, it must: be admitted, that our continental neighbours take the lead of us in the association of theoreasical science with practical acquirements, and - that in obtaining a Report on a mineral district the parties employed combine within themsetves a perfect knowledge of geology, mineralogy,. che mistry, nndere-round operations, practical in ining, and the useful arts generally ; whereas, wi tb our practical viewers or mine agents, it is s eldom . that we find. them to be possessed of other information than that acquire& un-, AeraTound, and in one locality. The. Re - n poet of M. Fournel, -to which we• have a'tready adverted, in founding his estimates •on the pro- , bable cost of.mauufacture of piq-iron at Li caguin, gives a brief outline of the operations ofaGnupany en cainnzardite, formed in 18:23, with a e;:yital of 60,000/. for working the iron ore which -abounds, in this district, at La jahotiere, hi the cramnune of_Abbaretz, where iron of superior quility was made; and upon the basis furnished by the ope rations at those works, M. Fournel assumes the cost of iron manufactured at Languin. Front the observations of M. Fournel, it, however, appears that the Company, like man: others, was grossly mismanaged, and henc e it s Aissolution, .and the abandonment of the works—the data, afforded. is. • however, useful, in arriving at th e cos t of produe tion. `Tie ore used, which was taken exclasiVely from the forest of Larehe, appears to have' cost Is. 74d. per ton for extraction, carriage,.and ren dering fit for fiunace lase—that roasted being at-- tended- with an additional cost of :2?,d. per ton; and, as two-thirds of the crude ore ••Ivaa natal to one part of the roasted ore,'the - meditim cost was that of one shilling and eightpence-halfpenny per ton, which affords a strong contrast to the price at which that article is rendered in .this country, the ore of this district, it should be ob served, yielding in the furnace 43-75 per cent.. it may be well to follow this experiment, for, al though costly, it can only be considered as such, the furnace having been in blast only _six wet.ks. The flux used cost about 725. 4d. per ton, the. greater proportion of which was cost of carriage, and the coke was made on the spot from -coat Ob tained at Monzeil, the cost of which (including 7d. per ton carriage) was 15s. 7d. per tow; the cost of a ton of coke at La Jahotiere was thus Mund to he 11. 17s. per ton, while at Lan:4ll . 'li it is computed that it would not exceed 19s. 0(1. It appears, on reference to the books in which the quantities of materials used were registered., that at the expiration of three weeks from•the furnace being put in blast, the charges in eight hours consisted of sixteen of coke, of 440 lbs., beim.- eqoal to 31 tons ; sixteen of ore, of 880 lbs., or 6?- tots; and of flux, the like number, of 2:20 lbs., or 12 ton, the pro.ffilce of pig-iron run being ,24 tons, or about 81 tons in twenty-four hours.- The proportiOns of the quantities of the several in:ae rials, and their COit in the manufacture of one ton of iron, would, therefore, stand thus— X s. d. I ton 2 cwt.. 2 cr. coke, at U. 17s. pr ton 2 1 76 2 6 (1 ore Is. 80. per ton 0 RIO 0 10 0 flux 2s. &I. per ton 0 1 4 Cost of materials En make of one ton of iron 2 6 9i To this should be, added, labour, and sundry ex penses, 145. to Gros3amoun', cr.:elusive of interest o n capital 3 2 9& being the facts • deduced from the work ing of the furnace at La Jahotiere, we will pro ceed to notice more,. particularly the property posLessed by the Languin Company, which em braces not - only the iron ore thus easily attain able, but coal, which may he rai se d at a consi derable ICss co :A. ',than that cited in the above cal culation, as hercailer shown. The: iron deposits of this district, which is pronounced as of great riclt~t ._a-as be seen in the proportions of materials above named—produces 43.75 per cent. and is found in vreat abundance at several points --the nearest. - situate abaut six miles nori;11- west of Langttin; the ore being described as an oxide hycir!ote. Several .beds, in some instances lying horizontal, resting on schist strata, in others, diffused in a clay, from which it is readily liberated, have been proved, a n d th e cos t of the ore upon the spot, including payment to the pos sessors of the roil, does not exceed is. Bd. per ton. The ore of the forest of Larche, the most distant (nine tulles), it is calculated, would cost 4s. 9d. per ton delivered at Languin. Assuming, then, that the collieries of the Company are sufficiently opened to justify the erection of farnaces, and to construct iron works on a commensurate scale, the first proposition is the cast of the materials. It is already stated that the ore is abundant, and ca:i be delivered, say at ss. per ton, that coke can be rendered at less than 20s. per ton, and flux at 4s. If a calculation, founded on the preceding figures, showing the results at La Jahotiere, be made, it will be seen that the cost of a ton of pi7-iron at Languin will not exceed 21. 10s.; to this again, must be added the cost of trans port , to Nantes,. which, taken at 6d, per ton, would make the price, delivered in that market, 31. I ls. 6d. per ton—but, from other authorities we learn, that from arrange ments made by the Company, the cost of trans port will not exceed Me. per ton, thus making •the - cost at lc antes about 31. per ton, being even less than the duty imposed (al. 7s. sa.) on English iron. We may here observe,' that the price of iron in Nantes may be fairly assumed at 81. 15s. to 91. 53. per ton, if the following figures be. accurate—say, price of pig-iron put on board, 41. 55., freight and charges 18s., duty 3/. 7s. Bd., commission, landing, and other charges ss. Gd., profit to merchant and interme diate expenses, 5 per cent., or Bs. per ton ; this would briag the English pig at Nantes to 9!. 4s. 2d., while the estimate of Languin iron but little exceeds. 3/. per ton. M.'Fournel advances, as a reason for recom mending the erection of furnaces, and the appli cation oc the coal to the manufacture of iron, in preihrence to sale , of that article, that the coal produced is entirely small coal—that a part (the coat) has an appearance that would always tend to :depreciate its price in the trade —and that these two circumstances united may prove to be..a .maia obstacle to the sale of time co ec i taoallle, when obtained in large qua n titi es other hand, the naiiir e o f tle-t-Jvb. e ol il li p i neunary' adapts it fOr the irailliut”wtotruol(tt)fbieroil.enattinddfrot liti which increased i t ) i o would certainly appear, from this M.

It is hardly necessary to say, that this is taking a view of the subject dis tiuct from that proposed in our preceding re marks, but it is an important one as affects the raising of capital in this country for the benefit of ether nations. - Mining operations, tlie work-ing of e.t;qq, J ur -iron-works abroad, is, doubt iqe,s, as legitipate a mode. of employment ofßri ltisli califtifeas the investment in Spanish Bonds stie-ilreiteltiTtentes, and, therefore, we Will for a itlament•consider how far the erection of iron- Works banthe proprietors of' the Languin Com pany is calculated to advance their prospects, and ' steihun e rate tem for the capital em rive(l. ituthe firsteplace, it has been shown that the , c'hste of • pig-iron delivered at - Nantes 'may be taken at little more than 3/. per ton, while the duty on English pips is 3/. 7s. Bd, and that on castings or machinery considerably more. It is, therefbre, manifest that if the quality be equal or approximathar to that of English iron, it will come into time market at a price so as to supersede, in a great measure, our products; the price of English pigs being assumed, at the pre sent moment, at 81. las. to 91. as., as alreadystated. The capital proposed to be expended, in addition to.. Y 5,000/. already nutlaid in the pur• chase of property, and workioe the collieries, is estimated at from 21T,T)00/. to :23.,0110/.
