The only matter of linter est in the journatlie,spects M'Leod. He had declined to appeal to the Court Of Error, and his trial had, conse quently, been definitively fixed by the Supreme Court to take place at Utica during the Assizes, to be there held the second week in September. The appointment of Mr. Everett as Minister of Eng land had passed the Senate. ZPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—" No man in his senses can doubt," says the Tim./ of this morning, "that if the Whigs had re signed in April without introducing their budget, and Sir Rober;; Peel had then succeeded to power, the pro bability of a satisfactory adjustment of the corn question, and of all other commercial questions, would have been much greater than it is at present." No doubt about it ! And "no man in his senses can doubt" that, if the Report of the Import Duties Com mittee had never been published, the probability of " satisfactory adjustment " would have been still stronger. And "no man in his senses can doubt," had the recent harvest weather been better, that the Times would have been still more eager to suggest Corn-law reform through its " correspondents ;" and the prospect of a " satisfactory adjustment" would have been still more immediate. But what adjustment would be satisfactory ? That is the question : and it is a question for which the slippery scale party have no answer. The Times' " correspondents," indeed, have answered it by saying— Exactly such an adjustment as the present Government have proposed—that is to say, the adoption of a moderate fixed duty. kat, the Times dares not now say so except in thegilise of an alter ego. It whines au out its consistency ; but it dares not showit in its lead ing articles. ghat is quite a sufficient proof that the " great national party'' of the Times are wavering be tween a fair and foul-weather budget. And we are bid to believe that their waver:ngs would have been much more likely to result in something " satisfactory," if the rreient Government had not stirred the question! Now, we are quite confident that, whatever motives have been attributed to the leaders of our party for having identified their cause with these questions, of this, at least, there cannot be the smallest doubt—that they have given an impulse which no other course could have given to commercial emancipation ; and rendertri its triumph not only probable (whether or not satisfac tory to the Tinie.4); but certain. The " pressure from without" for release from the fetters of landed oligarchy would have been vague' and discouraged indeed, had not the leaders of this great party (from whatever motives, which candour or calumny may read as they please) placed themselves at its head, in accordance with their best previous proceedings and principles. If Ministers had resigned iu April, making no sign of fiscal reform, how plausibly, and indeed legitimately, Sir Robert Peel might have quoted the precedent for abstaining from dis turbance of our great agricultural and colonial interests! It would, indeed, have been impossible for him to propose anything unplessing to those interests, after even a Liberal Government should tacitly have declined doing so. COURIER.—WeII and painfully are the Ministerial ists aware that from whatever other source embarrass ments may arise to a Conservative Administration (and no Administration can, in these troublous times, hope to be free of such), none need be anticipated from the feeble and distracted Opposition they will be able to muster. As an able Radical Contemporary lately ob served, it is not from the wreck of an indifferent Ministry that a vigorous or formidable Opposition could be constructed. The materials have been too sadly damaged in their old position to be good for any , thing in the new. The ablest artist would f a il to forge out of iin;,,infusion of worn-out Whigs and red-hot Radicals ` anftqng in the shape of a compact or potent Opposition. There is an incongruity in the elements, and a dissimilarity in the objects, that were the Members of the Commons likely to be opposed to Sir Robert Peel's Government, far more numerically powerful than they are, would prevent them from acting with effect. Can it be supposed that the old Whigs, those who pride themselves on their re spect for constitutional principles, who retain some no tions bf honour, and some regard for public credit, will fraternize with the Roebucks, the Cobdens, and the O'Connells? The notion were preposterously absurd. Indeed the latter has already renounced his connection with the Whigs. Lord John Russell's manifesto was too milk and watery for his taste, and the Loyal Repeal Association has consequently pledged itself against uniting with any party who will not own the ballot as an article of their creed, and against any Government that will not make _the dismemberment scheme a Cabinet question. The proposer of this pledge was cunning enough to perceive—so utterly hopeless was the pro spect of their return to office—that it could by no means embarrass the Whigs ; and he was also mean enough to take advantage of their weakness and to repudiate their STANDARD. importunate curiosity with which the measures to be pursued by a Conservative Cabinet :are daily demanded is instructive as well as amusing. We may be very well assured that the inquiry thus eagerly prosecuted by men who avow their satisfac tion at the calamities they have inflicted is not sug gested by any particular anxiety for the public good. The motive in the case is plain enough—the measures of the future Ministry are sought after, that the , y may be, in the first instance, reviled, and in the end, if possible, obstructed. The war of a factious opposition is already commenced, though they who commence it are still in ollice—a strange and a disgraceful anomaly, if anythinc, disgraceful could be called anomalous in Whig-Radical practice,. The prudence and foresight of Sir Robert and his friends—prudence and foresight which the coun try fully appreciates—have baffled the cunning that would continue a specific opposition to the measures of a Ministry still Unformed ! and all that the Whig-Radi cals have gained by their ingenuity is the development of their own unpatriotic and scandalous scheme of po licy. The measures of the new Ministry are, it is made plain, to be attacked, whatever those ineasures may u n: be ; and if they do net present a tficient nu kr of goints to be 'assailed, we learn that s the old ma gazine of revolutionary projects is to be freely drawn upon. We have lately seen "a promising controversy among the different-sections of Liberals , a s to the num ber of " organic change," that it may be politic to propose from time to time, " organic changes meaning nothing more and nothing less than instalments of a complete revolution, That the wildest of the "organ i c changes"- suggested hitherto by fools and madme n ..he and traiturs,. will find advocates and patrons among r Ma jesty's present advisers no rational man can doubt. We have no occasion to imitate the pressing interrogato ries of the Ministerial Journals, as to the measures which the new Opposition will rake up for use. We know them all ; they are the measures which these same Whig-Radicals have most violently opposed ; and we can almost certainly pronounce the order of their re-appearance, by recollecting according to scale the vehemence with which they have been condemned by , the men who are to revive them. T 'he Address lin the, House of Lords, in reply to her Majesty's Speech on the opening of the new Par liament, will, we understand, be moved by Earl Spencer and be seconded by the Marquis of Clanricarde. The re-appearance of Lord Spencer on the public stage, at such a time, and on an occasion to which the nation looks with deep 'anxiety and almost enexampled interest at the present crisis of its affairs, will' be hailed witlyveasure by all who remember the great ability and • stein integrity by which, as Chancellor of the Exche quer, amtlealer of the House of Commons, his Lordship's whole a arse of public duty was distinguished, and recog nised as so distinguished by all parties in the country. TROOPS FOR IRELAND.—PEEL AP PROACUES!—On Monday next, the 7th Dragoons, now quartered here, ' leave this city on their route to Ireland. —Norwich Mercury. Three splendid birds, the great crowned pigeon (Columba Coronata), brought feoni New Guinea by Mr. Waller, narrowly escaped destruction at the late fire of that gentleman's house at Blackheath, having fortunately been shut in the greenhouse the previous evening, which saved the lives of these most beautiful and valuable crea tures. They have since the accident been presented to the Surrey Zoological Gardens. WoNucrtrta, SAGACITY IN A HORSE.--A very singular circumstance occurred lately on a farm about six miles 'north of Crieff.

TO NON-ELECTORS. HOW TO GAL'S A VOTE, AND USE IT WITH- OUT INTIMIDATION. Every Reformer 'a ho is excluded from the list of voters, and does not possess the necessary qualifications to get his name on the register, may as effectually contri bute to the return of a Reform Candidate as if he tad a vote for himself, and that vote was protected from inti midation by the ballot, if he will examine the list of voters, which may be seen at the house of any overseer this day, and make a note of the name and address of any Tory that appears on the resister and is not in every way qualified. He should immediately forward the information, with ground of objection, to some active Reformer or Registration Committee, who will object to him ; and if he is unable to prove himself qualified, will be excluded from the register, the onus of proof lying entirely with the person objecbsd to. Thus the Tory vote struck off will be one gained to the cause of Reform, and given as secretly, if not more so. than a vote given by the informant under the protec tion of the ballot! Surely the thousands in the metropolis excluded from the franchise, and those who have been compelled to sacrifice their consciences, and submit to the most shame ful as well as shameless intimidation, will avenge them selves upon their intimidators, and thus regain the vote their private interest compelled them to give against their own honest conviction.

Vast quantitieS of rain, accompanied with clld winds, have fallen in this neighbourhood since our last publica tion, and although we do not find, from all the inquiries we have made, that any material injury is likely to result from these untoward- circumstances hitherto, still consi derable alarm begins to manifest itself in the prospect for the future. The markets are rising rapidly in every direction, bread consequently is now 9d. the loaf, and it is expected will soon further advance ; whils:, meat is proportionably high. So short is the supply of old wheat on hand, that it is generally supposed importations from abroad will be necessary to supply the wants of this country before the new crops can be brought to market.— Sherborne and Dorchester Journal. We noticed the favourable change in the weather which took ploce on Monday the 2d current. Up to Thursday all was propitious, but on that day heavy rain again fell, and continued during the whole of that night. There have since been frequent showers. The continu ance of this unseasonable weather is beginninc , to cause serious uneasiness. • The wheat has been much twisted and affected with rust, which, of course, will injure the sample very much when it comes to market. Fortunately there is a considerable breadth of spring wheat, which is not so much affected, owing to its having been later in bloom. The harvest altogether will be fully a fort night later than was anticipated in June, in conse quence of the excessive moisture, and the want of solar heat. The late-sown turnips have suffered from the same cause, but the early ones promise well. As yet, the oat and barley crops, though thrown back, can not be said to be much damaged. Oats generally will be be y ond an average in this district, i n gra i n , b u t deficient in bulk. Barley will be a good crop, but late. The weather in. England and France appears to be the same as here—too much wet. • This is apparent from all the papers ; and a gentleman writing to us from one of the midland counties, remarks—" We have had heavy rains here, and it is threatening more. The wheats are fit for the sickle, and some barley has already been taken to market ; but generally operations are much retarded. Bread has advanced in price." We conversed yesterday with a gentleman from Nairn shire, who states that the late oats and barley have im proved greatly ; but from the superabundance of mois ture, the turnip crop, in many places, has gone back. Here, also, the wheat bas been damaged by rust.— Inverness Courier. From a gentleman who has travelled nearly round Lancashire, and in some parts of Cheshire, within the last fortnight, during which period he has scarcely ex perienced one thoroughly dry day of summer weather, we learn that a considerable quantity of hay remained to be housed, and there was a great breadth of grass still uncut. The grass is rather heavy, and should the weather take up so as to allow the hay to be housed, the crop will be much more abundant than that of last year. Both wheat and oats are remarkably green for August, and indicate a very late harvest. The size of the ears vary much ; in some districts they are large and nume rous, whilst in cams they are both meagre and scanty. The straw is long and strong, and considering the preva lence of heavy winds and rain, a very small portion only is laid. This, it is to be feared, is owinc , to the lightness of the heads, and may account for any deficiency in the yield when reaped. The potatoes look well, but the heavy rain has completely saturated the ground, and materially deteriorated the quality.—Liverpool Mercury. THE SOUTH HAMS.—The farmer's prospects for the present year are very good, and they continue to be very promising. We scarcely ever recollect a season, when from the commencement to the end of July, the wheat crop, on the whop ; has made a more promising ap pearance ; though the storms on the 20th June, and again on the 20th ult., (lid it an injury, though to no great extent. Some of the early fields are tangled and knee bound, and others completely lodged, but notwith standing this, the crop is likely to be above an average one. The harvest will be rather late ;we do not expect to see much wheat cut until the 18th or 20th inst. The barley crop will be a very good one, except in some situations, where, in consequence of the frequent showers that have fallen within the last two months, it appears to be very long in the straw, and rather weak, which generally brings a poor sample. It is very probable, however, that the crop will be above an 'average one. The hay harvest is just concluded, and we do not re collect a season where the crop was heavier, or, with but few exceptions, better saved. The potato crop will be greater than we have had for many years past. 'There is a prospect also of an abundant crop of turnips. Apples are but a very partial crop, and but little cider will be made this season. In Kent, it is stated the crops begin to show unequivo cal carnage ; in Nottinghamshire the continued wet has produced mildew and rust extensively, but before this the crop was more than an average one; in Staffordshire the crops are much laid, but thy have sustained no great positive damage ; in Bucks the crop promises fair, the ear being full and large ; in Oxfordshire the wheat is described as looking healthy, and promising good crops—if there be fine weather to get them in ; in Der byshire the wheat crop is suffering from mildew, and the red rust has damaged the ear to a considerable ex tent ; in Hereford the wheats have been much beaten down ; in parts of Norfolk mildew prevails to a consider able extent ; in some parts of Scotland the same com plaint is heard, but in general the accounts from that country are not very discouraging.—Chelmsford Chro nicle. During the past week the weather has been cold and variable. Considerable falls of rain have taken place, and, on the whole, the season has been unpropitious for ripening the grain crops, which, in consequence, have slightly suffered. It has, however, been most appropriate for the potatoes and green crops, which are every where in the most thriving condition.—Mona's Herald. The annual hop meeting was held at the Bell Inn, Castle Hedingham, on Thursday, the sth inst. There was very little business doing ; one individual sold his growth (the present year) for 61. 15s. per cwt. Several samples of '3B and '39 were offered, but did not find pur chasers ; the betting was against the duty (150,0001.) One gentleman sold his growth of barley at 345. per quarter; another his crop of partridge peas at 40s. per quarter ; altogether there was less business doing than in former years.--Cheln4ord Chronicle. EAST REWORD, AUGUST 11.—It is with surprise, mingled with feelings of regret, that we have recently seen the most exaggerated • statements put forth of the great and serious injury which the corn crops have sus tained through the cold and wet weather. We will, therefore, proceed'to notice the state of the crops as we have found them, on inspection, both on the clays and on the sands. And first of the clays—This fine tract, which includes some of the finest wheat-land in the kingdom, is included in the parishes of Treswell, Ramp ton, North and South Levertons, North and South Wheat ley-s, Bole; &c. &c., has now one of the richest coverings of wheat growing upon it that ever was seen. The straw is long and strong, the ear large and bold— the whole free from disease. As compared with the last year's crops, there is now twice as much growing on the same quantity of ground, and it is already nearly ripe ; indeed, before this will be seen by many of your readers the sickle will have come enced operation, and the harvest nearly be general. Samples of new wheat from three of these parishes are now before us, and we can pronounce them to be fine in quality, very bold, and likely to yield abundantly. The parish of Rampton, with its fine open field, containing several hundred acres of growing wheat, is estimated at from 12 to 14 loads per acre round. With respect to the barleys in this dis trict, they are as abundant as were ever before known, or, we may add, as they can be desired. The same remark will apply to oats, which are so good as to create a feeling of surprise in all who have seen them. The crop of beans and peas, however, we fear, will be but indif ferent. With plenty of straw, there will be but little and this may be attributed to a blight which they re ceived when going limy - blossom, which destroyed the flower, and left in many instances nothing but a barren stalk. The crops of grass -and clover in this district have been good, and a great deal of it got in in good condi tidn. The eddish is most abundant, and the pastures as luxuriant as ever were known. Turn we now to the sand ; and here we must admit that a greater diversity exists, particularly amongst the wheat crops, than in the clays. And this brines to our mind the old distich— " When the sand doth feed the clay, Then England woe and well-a-day • But when the clay doth feed the sand, Then it is well with Old England I" Be this, however, as it may, we find on the light and sandy sells of the Forest of Sherwood, some—and that a great majority, of the finest crops we have seen for years. It is true,- in some places a little rust is to be found, whilst in others the farmers complain of many of the wheat ears being prtly deaf,—and we believe they do not do so without reason. Still the great majority is good, and will be found to be excellent both in quality and quantity. The crops of barley and oats, too, are ge nerally abundant, with here and there a thin covering ; but these are the exceptions, not the rule. And now, as it respects the marley and alluvials, soils which extend themselves to the north and south of this place. We be lieve we may assert, without any fear of contradic tion, that, in general, all kinds of growing corn have seldom presented such a cheering aspect. The wheats are splendid—the barleys strong and abundant, and the oats everything that can fairly be desired. Here, too, the beans are remarkably good—we hear but of few com plaints, and this satisfies us that there is no reason given why there should be. Such, therefore, is the general state of the crops in this -neighbourhood at the present moment ; and all we want is suitable weather for gather-. ing in these bounties of Providence.—Nottingham:Journat The weather still continues precarious and unsettled, and the harvest cannot be said even yet to have fairly commenced. Small 'portions of grain are here and there cut, but it is not yet_ sufficiently ripe, a few days' sun shine being required. The protraction of the present stormy and chilly weather naturally excites considerable alarm, and if fine warm sunshine does not speedily ensue, the consequences in injuring the harvest will be very disastrous. As yet, however, little or no injury has been it e r r l a e g ya e r . sustained, and, as we 'have before reported, the crop of potatoesat h n c • average. wheat in point of quantity bids fair to yield more than is wheat vl a li Pirreeoulr provingiiapreiaenedlvtei; n y of the s t i hi ruo di p t r ua e cn s te e iov n ue t sc t i e ..o. a p r , a h . de t the turnips look remarkably well.—Dorset Chronicle. The weather still 'continues unseasonable. In this county the hay harvest is far from •finished being ; and, within the last few days it has been uncommon thing in the neighbourhood of brooks and no r . r s to e men employed in fi s hi ng h ay out of the water ve to prevent se its being carried quite away by the floods. With respect to the corn crops, they have sustained, perhaps, no great deal of positive d amage as yet • although in some in stances they are partially laid ; but a few days of bright d r y weather would bring them round. We sincerely trust that a favourable change will speedily , take place, o therwise the consequ ences w i ll be I tru y serious.— Staffordshire Advertiser.

THE BANKRUPTCY OF WHITMORE, WELLS, AND CO., BANKERS, LOMBARD-STREET. (In the matter of Edward Whitmore, John Wells, John Wells the younger, and Frederick Whitmore, of Lom bard-street, in the city of London, bankers, dealers, chapman, and co-partners, trading under the firm of " Whitmore, Wells, and Whiimore.") This being the day appointed for the final examination of the bankrupts, the Court was more densely crowded than at the hearing for choice of assignees, and proofs were put in with more rapidity than all the clerks at both sides of the table (six at least) were able to put in the necessary form. The proximate cause of the failure of this long-established house arose from advances made to the house of Daintry, Ilyle, and Co., of Manchester, to the amount of upwards of 200,0001., their principal busi ness as bankers being a 3 agents of country banks, and comparatively little as a bank of deposit for town cus tomers. An application was made by a solicitor for the parish of St. Luke's lighting and paving board to prove for a sum of 483/. Mr. Edward Whitmore was the principal trustee for carrying out the object of the board, and his co-partners were his sureties in a bond that he should do so, but there was a covenant in the instrument that a demand should be made of the state of the account, and no such demand having been made, lie Iv ished to know against what party the proof was to be made ? The Learned COMMISSIONER said against each of the separate estates of the then parties to the bond: Amongst the additional proofs admitted to-day, with out any opposition, were the following :-John Barnard of Harlow, Essex, 2231. 10s. 4d.; John Barnard, of Har low, 1,501/. 135.; William Oxenford, of Broad-street, 1931. 15s. 9d. ; William Oxenford, as executor, 1631. 3 5 . 7d ; William Swinscow, of Church street, Christ Church, 169/. 6s. 9d.

An application was then made on the part of the bankrupts for another bearing, as, towing to the very voluminous and complicated nature of their accounts, it was impossible for them to render such an accurate ba lance-sheet as would satisfy their creditors and the Court. The adjourned hearing was then fixed for the 15th of September next. Upwards of two hundred proofs were admitted in the course of the day ; the aggregate amount of all the proofs admitted at the present and the former meetings fully amounts to 250,000/. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—Croydon, August 17. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Lord Chief' Justice TINDAL.) TODD AND ANOTHER U. EMLY AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover the sum of 1941. for wine supplied to the Alliance Club, of which the defen dants were members. Mr. PLATT, with whom was Mr. PETERSDORFF, ap peared for tha plaintiffs; Mr. THESIGER and Mr. SWANN were for the defendants. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Coun sel that this action has been twice before tried, and on each occasion a verdict was returned for the plaintiffs. In the year 1836 several gentlemen, amongst whom were the defendants, formed a Club, which was called the Al liance, and for which the premises, No. 79, Pall mall, were taken. A Committee was appointed for conducting the affairs of the Club, and it was part of their duty to select tradesmen to furnish the provisions, &c. The plaintiffs, Messrs. Todd and Bosanquet, were selected to supply the wines, and a large quantity was sent in. In the year 1839 it was discovered that the undertaking would not answer ; a%general meeting of the members was called, and it was resolved, after examining all the accounts, that the Club should be dissolved. There. were many outstanding debts, all goods having been ; supplied on credit; and it was found that a subscription of 131. from each member would liquidate all the debts. A portion of the members handed in their subscriptions, but others did not, and consequently the funds were not sufficient to meet the demands. A balance of 1941. being left in the plaintiffs' account, they brought this action against the defendants, who were on the Committee at the time the goods were supplied. On behalf of the plaintiffs it was contended that the defendants, although they did not absolutely order the wine, were liable for the payment, as they were cog nisant of the fact of its being supplied on credit, and con sequently must have been aware that they were sanc tioning the acts of their agent in giving the order. A number of witnesses were called, who proved that the defendants were on 'the - Committee—that they were aware of, and sanctioned the order being given to the plaintiffs, and that they were also aware that it was not paid for. Mr. TBESIGER addreSsed the Jury for the defendants, when The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury in stantly returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed. In reference to the case of Teevan v. Butt, reported in Tuesday's proceedings of the Hom e Ci rcu it, o ur reporter states that he is informed that at the time the writ wars delivered to the defendant, the plaintiff was not his medi cal attendant, and he had expreisly declined to be so some time before ; and that, consequently, no ad vantage was taken of that position to serve the writ ; and also that although the medica attendance of the plaintiff extended over a period of six teen months without any remuneration, no writ would have been issued or any. legal proceedings taken if the plaintiff could have obtained the amount without resort ing to them. As the statement was ex parte, and the plaintiff's counsel had no opportunity to reply to it, it is but justice to him to make this explanation. Two cases have been disposed of at this assizes which have caused a good deal of conversation, in consequence of the extraordinary disparity in the sentences passed upon the culprits by the Learned Sergeant who offi ciates for Mr. Justice Bosauquet. On Tuesday, a young man, named Francis ;;i'tent, was con victed of embezzling some small sums of money from his employer, Mr. Thompson, a poulterer and fishmonger, at Wandsworth. It appeared that the pri soner had previously borne a most excellent character, and he was strongly recommended to mercy by his employer ' • but Mr. Ser ge ant Teddy said he could not attend to the recommendation, and sentenced him to be transported for seven years. On Wednesday, a man named John Hou g h was conv i cte d o f h a ving carried o n a systematic plan of embezzlement against his employer, and he was also, formally, under the statute, proved to have before been convicted of felony ; and the policeman also stated that other charges had been brought against him ; but this man was only sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, to the very great surprise of those who had heard the former trial and sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The father of a patient who died in St. Bartholomew's Hospital waited upon Sir Peter Laurie, a few days ago, to complain against the authorities of the establishment for having, without asking permission of the father, opened the body of the deceased. The applicant de clared, that if the surgeons had mentioned to him that it was necessary, on account of the nature of the disease of which his son died, to cause an examination to be made, he would not, for a moment, have opposed the use of the knife, but not one -word had been said to him on the subject. Sir I'. LAURIE was very much surprised at the state ment, and appeared to be quite incredulous, as he wrs well acquainted with the system at the hospital. He said it happened that Alderman Lucas, the President of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, was in the house, and it was necessary that he should be informed of the cir cumstance. Alderman Lucas having immediately attended and heard the statement, said at once that he did not believe one word of it, and asked the applicant whether ho had seen the body ? The applicant replied that he certainly had not. Alderman Lucas—Have you seen th e su rgeons or the nurses on the subj ec t ? . The .applicant said he had not, but he had been assured by the beadle that the body of his son was cut up by the surgeons. The young man had died of delirium tremens. Alderman Lucas said, that before the applicant came forward to make so serious a complaint, he ought to have communicated with the authorities at the Hospital, and ascertained beyond the least doubt that the body had been opened. He then desired that the applicant should meet him at the Hospital, when an immediate in quiry should be instituted. Alderman Lucas yesterday called at the Mansion house, and requested that the result of the investigation should be publicly stated, to remove any vulgar preju dice which might have been excited in the minds of those who heard the statement. He met the father of the de ceased as he had appointed, and took him to the sur geons, who were quite ignorant of the matter, as well as was every nurse and attendant at the Hospital. He then requested the house-surgeon to go to the house of of the father, to which the body had been removed from the bone-house, and accurately investigate into 'the affair of the cutting; and after the examination the surgeon reported that there was not a scratch upon any part of the deceased.—(A laugh.) So much for the correctness of the declaration that the surgeons of the Hospital had taken such a liberty. The Alderman then described the vast liberality, tenderness, and care upon all occasions exhibited by the admirable establishment of which he was President. Sir P. LAURIE reprobated the attempt to excite a pre judice against so great and benevolent an institution, and said that the father of the deceased had called to declare that he had been misinformed, and that he deeply regretted not having made inquiry on the subject of those who were qualified to inform him correctly. WINE-TASTING IN THE DocKs.—Three young men of respectable appearance and good character, in the em ployment of Mr. Cooper, an extensive warehouseman in St. Paul's Church-yard, were brought before Alderman Wilson, charged with having been drunk and disorderly in the street. Inspector Brake stated that the defendants upon being taken to the station-house declared that they had been wine-tasting at the Docks. A very common practice, the Inspector said, by which the owners of the wines in dock were much plundered, and young men led into all sorts of scrapes and debauchery. Alderman Wrmos said he was quite aware of the truth of the Inspector's observation. The young men, one of whom was not more than 16, and another 20 years of age, said that having had a holi day, and being presented with a tasting-order by an agent, who! sold wines on commission, they set off for the Docks, and were overcome by the variety they tasted. They never before were in such a condition, and assured the Alderman that nothing should ever induce them again to " taste" under such circumstances. The ALDERMAN said he trusted that the owners of wine in the Docks would be informed by the press (the only effective way of conveying intelligence of the kind) of the existence of a practice by which a vast deal of their property was daily consumed without the least ad vantage to them. It was the duty of the Revenue Com missioners, in his opinion, to issue orders that boys. who certainly could not for a moment be supposed to visit the Docks for the purpose of buying, should not be al lowed to " taste at all.' Mr. Hobler said it was pretty well understood that parties of the sort by slipping half-a-crown to a cellar man, could take the choice of the best that could be found, whoever might be the owner. A gentleman who was on business in the Justice-room said that the extent to which wine " tasting" was carried on in the Docks was quite extraordinary. It was but the day before he met a big publican, a notorious " wine taster," with three or four of his swabby• faced, dissolute companions, returning, at a little after two o'clock, from the Docks, after having swallowed, in " tasting," eleven bottles of the most expensive wines, and upon being told that they might as well have finished the dozen, the publican said, with a horse laugh, " Ah, Pin d—d if we don't make up for that to-morrow, for we'll taste' thir teen bottles then, and no mistake."—(A laugh.) Alderman WiLsoN said that he should certainly do all he could to check the practice. As the present defend ants were so respectable, and had erred for the first time, lie should not inflict a more severe penalty than five shil lings upon each ; but let the experienced wine taster be ware of him, and let the big-publican have an eye to himself in his rambles from the Docks. QUEEN -SQUARE. Mustapha Ali: the Greek adopted by Lord Byron, whose case has excited much interest, was yesterday again brought up for re-examination. On the prisoner being placed in the dock, Mr. GREGORIE, addressing the prosecutor, Mr. Wood, said :—" I have given this charge, which involves in it a point of law, the greatest consideration ; and my opinion is, that if the prisoner were sent for trial he would in all probability be convicted. I am, however, informed that there exists a desire to send the prisoner out of the country in a private manner, but Colonel Stanhope, who is here, will speak for himself on that subject. I have sent for you, because I did not wish that anything should be done without your concurrence. You are the party aggrieved, and it is for you to determine whether the prosecution shall go on. Mr. Wood said he had no ill-feeling towards the pri soner, and he really thought it very desirahle that he should be sent out of the country, but he could not help saying it was cruel on the part of the prisoner to attempt to impose upon him when he knew he was a poor man. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, after some remarks, said, the prisoner's character was now damaged to such an ex• tent, that it occurred to him his only remaining means of living in this country was by breaking stones, or some such menial occupation. The prisoner, who appeared very thankful, was then remanded for a week. Colonel Stanhope, who satisfied the claim of the prose cutor, then went with prisoner's solicitor to make the necessary arrangements for getting him sent out to one of the colonies. STATE OF TRADE. Every branch of the hosiery trade is in a most deplor ably stagnant state, as little or nothing seems doing ; this is equally applicable to silk gloves, silk hose, cotton hose, cotton drawers, and fancy hosiery. The master stockingers attend the warehouses in groups, but as there are few or no orders, they generally come away empty handed to their despairing journeymen. An attempt was made in the early part of the week to get up a meeting of the unemployed, for which purpose the Chartist bell was sent round ; but the assemblage was so slender, that they agreed to adjourn. If this be the state of things early in August, what must be ex pected in winter, as about every fourth able-bodied man in this vicinity is a stocking-maker ? What is most remarkable, the hosiery trade is in a stagnant state in Spain, Belgium, Saxony, Austria proper, and Rome ; whilst in)Savoy, Austrian Italy, Prussia, and Wirtemberg, (particularly in the two former), it is in a very flourishing state, as the smiths are busily em ployed in building new frames. Stocking-making ill France is removing from Lyons and the South, and is concentrating in Champagne and Lower Pi cardy ; the hands are tolerably well employed, but they are so extremely slow, that the French Government are compelled to protect them from competition by prohibitions. This is equally the case with the stocking manufacture throughout Europe, except Saxony and Switzerland, in the.latter the manufacture is nearly extinct ; in the former, though they have for a time been rapidly extending, yet a terrible reverse has over taken them. In March last we were informed by a gen tleman, who had been in Chemnitz, that not one frame in ten was employed. Later information asserts that this want of employment has increased, so that scarcely one frame in twenty has full employment. We are waiting for correct statements on this point. The state of fashion is certainly against the stocking making trade, boots and trousers having superseded stockings. In every other respect English stockingers have little to fear from anything but cut-ups and foreign ' prohibitions, arising from the jealousy of foreign work men, as the extreme ow wages on the Continent, both in manufactures and agriculture, prevents an extended con sumption. In the United States, the balance of trade being against them, as they buy more than they sell, causes their monetary system to be ever fluctuating, and subject to panics - as they are our greatest cus tomers, it would be the height of wisdom to give them greater facilities in disposing of their produce, assimilat ing them in commercial transactions with our own colo nies ; this would cause an instant demand for English goods. The state of the lace is somewhat better than the hosiery trade. The silk blond trade, we are happy to state, is improving, but not to that extent as to induce the manufacturers to advance the wages to the price which has been given by the largest manufacturer in the trade for several weeks to his workmen. How ever it is hoped that they will yet think better of it, as all they urge is, " that the firm in question having formerly reduced wages against their inclinations, they affect to be apprehensive, that if they advance the wages, such a reduction may again take place ; and that then they may be again losers by stock in hand, and therefore it is the safest policy to keep wages to the starving point." This may be a saving policy for the masters, but it is a destroying policy for the men, as it takes away all hope, and is ungenerous in the extreme, as the men have a chance to be lowered, but none to rise, as the manufacturers never fail to follow with eagerness all reductions, but will not, it appears, listen to advances. The bobbin-net trade is extremely dull ; this is applicable to plain nets, as one of the principal power factories in this vicinity is only working half time, or six hours a-day. Employment in this branch is difficult to be ob tained, and this is increased by numerous arrivals of English hands from Calais and the north of France, where the lace trade is also extremely dull. OUR D-L AND THE CORN-LAWS.-It i 8 known to all the world—and well known that " what every body says must be true"—that a pair of scissors and a pot of paste are mighty agents in getting up a newspaper. Now, though we have often thought, aye, and spilt a great deal of ink, too, upon the Corn question, we never looked upon it in the light of a paste question until that view of it was forcibly brought to our mind by the young " gentleman in black" who figures at the head of this paragraph. It so happens that he is entrusted with the sole management of the paste-pot, but though advanced to this high dignity, he, fortunately, has not the control of our exchequer, for if he had, no doubt he would play the very d-1 with it. Well, to cut a long story short, his imp-ship had to apply to our treasurer for the " ready" to supply his cauldron, and when he last did so, he exclaimed, to the horror of that economical functionary, " It 'll take another penny, Sir, the flour be riz so !" We say our clerk was alarmed, and so would you be, gentle reader, if the Corn-laws had a si milar effect upon your consumption of flour, for the " riz" raised our expenditure for paste 50 per cent. 1— Worces tershire Chronicle. SHEERNESS.,A reprt is in circulation at this place, that it is the intention of the Lords of the Admi ralty to require all the mechanics who have been super annuated from the Dockyard to attend muster on a not far distant day, in order to pass the examination of the surgeon, and all who may be pronounced able to work will be required to return to the yard and resume their work, or in default of their so doing, to relinquish their pensions. The report adds, that this step is to be taken in consequence of complaints having been made that of late years many able-bodied men have been superan nuated from the dockyards, who have immediate:y gone to private yards and obtained work, which they were as well able to do as any other men.—Kent Herald.

" SlR,—The admission of vessels and cargoes coming from England has just been delayed by our Health office authorities, until further orders from Naples, in consequence, I understand, of one or more vessels being now on the way from Alexandria, to Great Britain with infected cargoes and crews, after having called at Malta, where they were not detained by the sanatory authorities of that island, but permitted to proceed on their voyage. Probably the consequences will be, that cargoes now on the road from England to this country will have to go into lazaretto, and thus incur considerable expenses, de lay, and injury. " I have also heard complaints made of the very short quarantine to which the Liverpool steamers from Egypt are admitted in England. " ln submitting the above for your information, I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, " J. A. FISCHER, Agent to Lloyd's. " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary to Lloyd's, London."

CHAMIER.—It is a long time, by far toil; long, since Captain Chamier has been vigilant and aetivo in the press, and those who like racy, vigorOus novels, fresh from nature's mint, or full of a seaman's character, had begun to think that he was "skulking under ginger bread hatches on shore ;" but here he revives, and make s his appearance on deck in a style to support his old fame, and resuscitate the taste for this species of novels. " Bowling" is a work of the right good cast on a caF ts subject, and which the Captain manages with even mor e than his wonted tact and judgment. We have all th e exploits of naval warfare vividly brought before us, 5e as to excite great and never-failing interest. CaPtl i t" Chamier's humour is rather of the old school, and t?' therefore, delightful as the representation of the reali ties of our old naval soc i e t y , w h en t h e enem y, and th a t , means all the world, s carce ly d ar ed t o s h ow a fl ag on t he ocean.—Dispatch.
