IN RE JANES PARKINS. , The c ase o f thi s insolvent, a tailor, which was part neard yesterday, was resumed this morning. Mr. Cooke addressed the Court at considerable length on behaioltl;;;;Ofvent,and contended that there was nothing to show that he had given a fraudulent prefe l'ence to particular creditors. He had throughout offered such a composition as his property would enable him to aY, and the. security of that oiler was proved by its "'tying been accepted by and paid to several of his cre ditors. The Learned COMMISSIONER directed that the case should be adjourned to afford the insolvent time to amend his special balance-sheet, and to produce his bOoks for the examination of Mr. Burke, the opposing creditor, it being understood that when these conditions were complied with, there would be no further opposi tion to his discharge. IN RE SIR WM. BOYD. Mr. Thomas had been instructed to apply to the Court for an order to stay the sale of certain articles of jewellery, Which were to be sold by auction by Mr. Cafe that day, t 7, at one o'clock. The insolvent, Sir Win. Boyd, had stated in his schedule that that property had been given 4, ve Way to friends in Scotland, but it turned out that it had en pledged with a pawnbroker. iti); The Court granted the order to stay the sale, with the N u nderstanding , that, if Mr. Cafe required it, the sum he f; had p a id f or the redeMption of the property, should be Paid to him and meantime he was to detain the jewellery till the further orders of the Court. !•5- 641 bsi bsi 181 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

A fine evening, and the second summer show of the South London Floricultural Society, added to the usual musical and pyrotechnical attractions, assembled last night a larger number of visitors within the walls of this favourite summer resort, than we ever remember to have witnessed en any former occasion. Being among the late arrivals, we could do little more than show our neck over the heads of the thousands of curious and ad miring visitors by whom the fruit, flower, and vegetable tables were surrounded, and catch a glimpse here and there of magnificent groups of hydranglas, ericas, pelar goniums, fuschias, picoteeti, &c., &T., but we profess our utter inability to enumerate the contributors, or the par ties to whom the prizes were awarded. The show of fruit was uncommonly fine, there being a profusion of peaches, melons, nectarines, pines, grapes, and other choice productions of the hot-house frame. The enter tainments of the evening terminated with the illumina tion of the Dome of St. Peter's, and the Girandola di St. Angelo, which elicited the enthusiastic applause of the spectators. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather for some time past, and its, unfitness for promenades champetre, we understand the colossal pictorial model of St. Peter's, and the unrivalled band of the Surrey Gardens, have formed one of the most at tractive and successful hits of the season. MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. A general impression exists that Parliament will meet for . the despatch of business oii the 19th of next month (August), but that is by no means certain. The writs are returnable on that day, but the meeting of the Legis lature must be convened by proclamation, agreed upon by her Majesty in Council. On the death of his late Majesty, William the Fourth, in 1837, Parliament was prorogued on the 17th of July following; and on the same evening an Extraordinary Gazette was published, dissolving it. On that occasion the writs were made re turnable on the 11th of September following. On the 21st of August (three weeks previous) a Privy Council was held at Windsor Castle, when a proclamation was agreed upon postponing the meeting of Parliament until the 2d of October ; previous, however, to that day, an ether Privy Council was held by her Majesty, at Wind sor (Wednesday, the 20th of September) when a second proclamation :was issued, further postponing the meet ing of Parliament, from Monday, the 2d of October, to Wednesday, the 15th of November, then to meet for the despatch of business. On the 2d of October the Lord Chancellor, Lord King, and Lord Foley, as Lords Commissioners, took their seats in the House of Lords, when the officers of the Commons having appeared at the bar, the - Queen's " writ" was read, commanding the Lords spiritual and temporal, and the Members of the Commons to give their attendance at Westminster on Wednesday, the 15th day of November, for the dispatch of divers urgent and im portant affairs. On the last mentioned day both Houses met, the Commons at one o'clock, and the Lords at a quarter before two o'clock, when shortly. afterwards there was a Royal Commission in the House of Lords, to which the Commons were summoned. The Lords Commis sioners then informed the Members of the Commons that their first duty was to elect a Speaker, and as soon as one of their body had been appointed, he must be presented for her Majesty's approbation ; they would then proceed to take the oaths of allegiance, &c. &c. ; that being done, her Majesty would come down and open the business of the Session with a speech from the Throne. The Commons immediately afterwards retired, and Mr. Abercromby was proposed by the late Speaker (Mr. S. Lefevre), seconded by Mr. Strutt, and elected with out any opposition being offered. The remainder of the week, from Wednesday, the 15th of November, was oc cupied in administering the oaths to Members ; and on Monday, the 20th, her Majesty opened the first session of her Parliament with a speech from the Throne. On Saturday, the 23d of December following, her Majesty went down •to the House of Lords and gave her Royal assent to several Bills, but there was no speech from the Throne, and on that day both Houses adjourned until Tuesday, the 16th of January, 1838. RELEASE OF MR. MEDHURST FROM PRl soN.—This person, whose case has lately acquired re newed interest in the eyes of the public, in consequence of the erasure of the name of Mr. H. Moreton Dyer from the commission of the Peace for the county of Mid dlesex, was on Saturday last released from his confine ment in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, upon an order sent down from the Home-office. It appears that for some time his health had been on the decline, and that, since the interference of Mr. Dyer in his af fairs, the symptoms of an internal disease, the early stages of which had previously manifested themselves, have been greatly aggravated. To such an extent had these symptoms increased, that it was found necessary to call for the advice and assistance of an eminent physi cian, whose opinion was of a nature to induce the Visit ing Justices of the prison to forward a certificate as to the state of the patient to the Marquis of Normanby. Subsequent visits tended to confirm the original impres sion of the medical attendant as to the danger of the at tack, and further certificates were sent to the Noble Marquis, describing the character of the disease, accom panied with the expression of a conviction, that unless Mr. Medhurst were set at liberty the worst result was to be anticipated. The excitement created in the mind of the prisoner by the recent proceedings arising out of the alleged proposition of the ex-Magistrate is supposed to be the cause to which his present condition may be at tributed. THE Goonwobp CUP.—The piece of plate w i .h, in accordance with the language of the turf, is th's year called the " Goodwood Cup," and which will be run for at Goodwood on Thursday next (to-morrow), is a very elegant group in silver, designed by Mr. Cottc rill, and executed at the manufactory of Mr. Gar rard cf the Haymarket, . representing one of the most important passages in the battle of Bosworth Field, viz. the onslaught made by Richard 111., and the moment in which he cut down Sir W. Brandon, standard-bearer to the Earl of Richmond (afterwards Henry VII.) The group depicted by Mr. Cotterill, consists of two figures—Richard 111., who is on horse back, and Sir W. Brandon, who is dismounted, and whose horse is represented as in the agony of death. The tyrant Richard has caught hold of the standard of the Earl of Richmond, and is wrenching it from the reluctant grasp of the intrepid standard-bearer, who has lost his helmet, and is in vain defending himself against the vigorous attack of the last representative of the house of York. The group is full of vigour. The com position is exceedingly pure, and the details of the armour and the peculiarities of the costume are admirably represented. This group is worth, without reference to the intrinsic value of the silver, as estimated by the owner, infinitely more than a mere "racing cup" of the olden time. It not only confers a boon upon art, but it enables the fortunate winner to place amongst his plate an elegant and a refined ornament. Our ancestors were accustomed to make too free an indulgence from the contents of racing " cups," but fortunately for us, their descendants, we can appreciate genius in the prizes of modern races, and whilst drinking to the success of for tunate winners, reward them and encourage art at the same time, by a judicious selection of the prizes which form the stimulants of their endeavours. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.— In reference to the interdict which has been granted by the Court of Session, against the Board of Directors of this Company proceeding to act under the resolutions of a meeting of the shareholders, held on the 22d February last, by which difficulties in the future management were intended to be removed, we understand that the interdict is restricted to the first two resolutions ; the first author ising the Board to take upon itself the superintendence of the whole affairs of the Company, remitting only matters of a purely local character to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Committees, and the second, authorising the ap pointment of certain Committees to expedite the busi ness of the Company. The Court has not extended the interdict to the other resolutions of the shareholders, one of which is to erect all the workshops at Glasgow, in stead of dividing them between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The decisions of the Court, and the opinions of the Judges, as reported, leave still undefined the powers and duties of the two statutory Committees, as distin guished from the powers and ditties of the Board of Directors, and leaves uncertain whether the in terdict refers to the Committees as deliberative or execu Live. The Act of Parliament on the points in dispute, it would soon seem, like most Acts of Parliament, admits of two interpretations ; meanwhile, we understand, that in order that no obstruction be made to the opening of the line, the Board, at a meeting held this week, consist ing of most of the Edinburgh and Glasgow members, unanimously agreed that the superintendent, and other officers of the line, be immediately appointed by the Board, and that it proceed to enact the regulations for the management of the whole affairs of the Company. — Glasgow Herald. GUANO AND NITRATE OF SODA.—.A speci men of guano, or of the dung of the guano a South American sea-bird, was sho w n a t th e agricultural meet iug last week, by Mr. Shi rr i ng . It i s lik e ly t o b ecome a considerable g article of com merce , as it i s f oun d i n great quantities on the rocky coa s t s o f th e P ac ifi c , and is said to be the most powerful and concent ra t e d o f all manures. Applied at the rate of about two cwt. a n acre it p ro d uces very fine crops of turnips and grasses, and is particularly suited for the light lands, on which these crops are usually reared. The wonderful effects of the sea-fowl's dung are mentioned by Sir Humphrey Davy, in his Agri cultural Chemistry. Together with nitrate of soda, w hich is obtained from the same quarter of the world, it is likely to have a great effect on English agriculture. Some of the farmers who were at the meeting last week, spoke in the highestlerms of the effects of nitrate of soda, particularly on their wheat crops.—Liverpool Times. EFFECTS OF DISSIPATION.—In the Glasgow Police Court, on Thursday, a poor dissipated wretch presented his haggard countenance, supported by two trembling hands—the elbows resting on the bar—and heard, with rueful expression, the charge of abusing his wife. She appeared in the witness box, a clean snod body, and not at all disposed to be severe on her decid edly worse half. According to her evidence he had fasted for nearly twenty months—taking nothing but whisky—until his stomach refused food, and his senses denied him the knowledge of the days of the week ? She did not want to be separated from him; all she wanted was him to sapurate himself from " that cursed whisky." " If he does not," eaajahned she , growing warm in her feelings, " he will take what God gage me ; and that is my rational judgment !"—(Sensation.)

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM TINE MORNING PAPERS or THIS DAY. TIMES.—We yesterday endeavoured to sketch out the limits within which it would be open to the Conser vative Ministry to pursue a variable line of policy, ti accommodate themselves to circumstances, and to make considerations of immediate expediency their rule of ac. tion. Those limits were sufficiently wide, embracing, as our readers will have perceived, the whole class o. subjects relating to trade and revenue, which the Whigs have recently endeavoured to draw into the category o' party questions. There is something in the very nature of those queStions which obviously distinguishes them from such as are capable of being determined by fixed of uniform principles ; and it would be an absurdity to deal with them by any inflexible method. The fluctuations of price and supply, the vicissitudes of seasons, the state of the producing countries, and our moral, social, and political relations with them,—the revenue laws and commercial systems of foreign states, the pro spects of peace and war, the state of credit and cur rency at home and abroad, the exigencies of the Ex chequer— these are all circumstances which -must be taken into account in settling the time, the manner, the direction, and the degree, in which those commercial maxims on which all parties are agreed, and which were first acted upon under the Tory Govern ments before 1830, are to be practically applied. To fa cilitate the operations of trade, and to provide for the necessities of the public service in the manner the least burdensome to the community, are objects which recom mend themselves so plainly to the ordinary sense of man kind, that no Minister, however stupid, could avoid ap nreciating them, or, however dishonest, could have any motive for disregarding them. There can never be any fundamental difference between Whigs and Conservatives upon points like these ; and it is idle for either party to seek to invent one. The . only difference is, that the Conservatives desire to promote the interests of com merce without hazarding any disturbance of the framework of society, without doing injustice to one part of the nation under the pretence of conferring a boon upon another, and without holding out to the people the promise of utopian advantages which no Legislation can ever confer. The Conservatives do not aim at accomplishing everything at once ; but they will do what they can—discreetly, cautiously, and gradually, with a constant regard to circumstances, and with a re solution not to sacrifice commerce to agriculture, or agri culture to commerce. It is not by class-interests, either of Manchester or of Kent, that a Conservative or any other Government can be pernianently supported ; it is only by giving all their due, and governing for the be nefit of the entire nation. What we have exemplified in the instance of fiscal and commercial questions is equally true of every other question which cannot be referred to the category of fundamental principles. Upon all such questions the Government of Sir R. Peel must be a reform ing Government; by which we mean not a Government which presumes that " whatever is is wrong," but simply one that does not make the contrary presumption,—a Go vernment which knows that society cannot stand still— that human institutions are corruptible and imperfect at the best—and that in things indifferent statesmen can hardly do better than pay homage to public opinion. There may be even many things not strictly indifferent in which opposite considerations may be so nearly ba lanced that public opinion is entitled to turn the scale. It would, however, be the greatest possible mistake to suppose, that because in such 'matters as these Sir Robert Peel's will be a reforming Government, it will therefore be a Government of concession. No man can be fit to goVern any country, who fancies himself to be making concessions when he is removing abuses, remedying imperfections, or earring into effect improvements. Concession implies a departure from a man's own judgment in consequence of a pressure from without ; and he who makes a " concession ' when he follows the dictates of reason and common sense must be either very dishonest or singularly foolish. Conserva tism does not mean the preserving everything, but only such things as are worth preservation ; and, in many cases, this cannot be done without cutting off a mortified member, paring down an excrescence, scraping away an accumulation of time, repairing a breach, or adding a support. A stationary policy is impossible, and even if it were possible, it would be not conservative, but de structive. Advance, we must ; the only question is, in what direction ? and when means not ends, the physical and not the moral department of politics, are under discussion, all must agree to answer—in the direction of the greatest practicable utility. But there are ends as well as means, principles as well as details, fundamental as well as secondary institutions. It is here that the true difference between the Conservatives and the Whigs is to be found, and this difference must be exemplified by a widely, an essentially different scope of policy. In being " not disposed to resist such changes as the altered circumstances of society may require," the Con servatives merely agree with every other class of poli ticians, and the profession of such a principle would have been ridiculous if the misrepresentations of the opposite faction had not made it necessary. The peculiar and distinctive character of Conservatives consists in this— that they are the champions of those positive principles of Government which we have inherited from our ances tors—the principle of civil liberty under the supremacy of law, and of religious liberty consecrated and justified by'the homage of the nation to religious truth. They are," determined to maintain on thir ancient founda tions the institutions of the country in Church and State." "On their ancient foundations." Not because they are ancient, but because they are wise, and safe, and good ; because they answer the purposes for which they were intended ; because experience has shown that every encroachment upon them has done nothing but in troduce confusion and promote demoralization, retrench ing liberty without adding to the strength of Government, a nd pandering to popular passions without increasing p ublic happiness. CHRONICLE.—Sir Robert Peel, we are told, is to have a giant's strength, and intimations are given, that if he expects to retain the confidence of his party he must " use it like a giant." Speculations are afloat as to the theatre on which the first grand exhibition of dynamics is to take place. The Emperor of China is a protege of the Tories, and Young France is in a less pugnacious humour than he was a year ago. Besides this, it is more agreeable to stand by and abuse others for not fighting than actually to engage in battle, and the time is past for embarking in a foreign war to withdraw attention from misgovernment at home. In this exi gency, we think Ireland will be selected as a scene for military operations and vigorous government, and an effort will be made to grow war as well as corn at home. But times have changed ; the Irish cannot be dragooned without some plausible pretext, and the immediate doub ling of the army in Ireland, would excite a commotion here which might weaken the strong Government. Preparations are, therefore, made, by giving horrible accounts of outrages at the late elections, most of which we suspect are grossly exaggerated, and some. we have reason to believe, purely fictitious. That an election in Ireland should go off quietly we did not expect. The prospect of Lord Stanley's Bill, and the recollection of the continued pourings forth of scorn and contempt upon the whole nation, in which the Tories have indulged for some years, might have excited the irritability of a much milder people ; but had the violence which has been talked about really occured, we should have had a much fuller account of the persons intimidated, and the atroci ties of the Teetotallers would have been put in a more tangible shape. It is remarkable, that in most of these accounts the Orangemen are represented as going to the poll well armed, and as generally overcoming the obsta cles opposed to them. In none of the contests does it appear that the " mob " used fire-arms ; but in seve ral they were fired upon with very telling effect. At New Birmingham the Conservatives are said to have retreated " with the loss of two car riages," after firing twice, and bringing down five of the rioters. In the neighbourhood of Nenagh a contest took place, and " the multitude, finally foiled, withdrew to look after their dead and wounded." At Borrisoleigh the Conservatives routed the mob with their levelled guns, and found on the heights "barrows of paving-stones [this looks like London manufacture] ranged on the moun tain's brow," and " a huge rock was detached from the cliff ' and bounded down in the direction of one of the carriages," still " the electors reached the end of their journey without the loss of any of their number." Now, from this account, it is clear that, whichever side gave the provocation, the Conservatives were the better pre , pared for action, and that among the mob many were killed and wounded. The writer who, belonging to time victorious party, must have had ample opportunity of as certaining the amount of loss, omits the names of the Magistrates and others who were wounded by the mob, but makes honourable mention of "police constable Lyndon," which is very like a bulletin reporting time loss of Corporal Stubbs and several general officers. We strongly suspect that, on this occasion, police constable Lyndon does duty for the whole "casualties" of the Orangemen of Tipperary. lIERALI).—A healthy re-action appears to be gain ing ground upon the moral constitutions of the Whig- Radical organs of Ministerial opinion. -We are glad of it. It is a symptom of most favourable augury for them; and of very agreeable promise to us. They seem to be impelled, at last, to make admissions which embody a great deal of truth. Whether they do so from the love of truth itself, or under a force greater than truth itself, we cannot yet determine. Are these admissions gra tuitous advances, on their part, to a principle from which they have been so long estranged ? Or are the parties we speak of but unconscious recipients of the sacred influ-. ence ? Are they magnetised into a state of passive vera city ; and only giving active indications of the new intel ligence within them, at the pleasure of some unseen master of the informing spell, who, like M. La Fontaine at the•llanover-square Rooms, ever and anon reclaims the lethargic " subject" on whose deathlike stupor the electro-magnetic machine and the voltaic battery have played their artillery in vain,—to animation and vivacity by a touch of the point of his finger ? Whatever be the true solution of the enigma, it is certain that some of our Contemporaries can give it. There are some, before whose eyes the startling evidence of facts has rom day to day, developed the fatal tendencies of the career which their patrons were running—into whose ears the appalling denunciations of an indignant country against political compromise and imbecility, without example, have been thundered from sunrise till midnight,—and ell etinally without effect, in recalling them to a sense of the external condition of public affairs, and the in disputably adverse current of popular opinion setting in against' them ! It is certain, however, that they have the sagacity to perceive, at last, and the grace to acknow ledge,-,these " signs of the times." We take great shame to ourselves that in the Herald of Monday last we • did not recur to these manifestations as the leading poli tical " novelty" of the day. They are most observable in an evening journal which takes in high dudgeon our • remonstrances an the ippansmatory tendencies of some of its recent articles. In speculating on the difficulties ! which it anticipated for Sir Robert Peel and his col • lea g ues when they shall return to office ; it referred to thedepressed condition of trade in the manufacturing 1 districts and the superacided burden of additional taxation rendered necessary in order to meet the demands of a declining revenue, as the elements of a TB E SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA ir, JULY 28, 1E341 ;lumbering volcano, which (it was suggested with a - ouching simplicity), "might SOOll become active." The illustration of this opinion was supplied in these re 7 marks;—that " increased taxation" (which has just been imposed by the Whigs themSelves)'" with diminished rade" (which i s the resiAlt of the dabbling of Presidents if Boards of Trade with their running philosophers mid travelling'journeyrnen ; of stick councils as those of Par aell and Bowring, Poulett Thomson and your very " free ,raders")—" and bread at augmented prices" (for which, if they be demanded, the poor may thank the more wealthy and active agitators against the Corn-laws for the dis honest arts by which they are trying to force up the ;orn market), " will .be an 'experiment which will pro voke demonstrations 0' feeling." (volcanic and lava like ?) " out of doors," ice. This the Government ad.: vocate calls " its calm statement of a self-evident proposi tion." Calm, indeed— but we,' to sonic extent, touched on this topic yesterday. Our present business is to con gratulate the Conservative public on the absolute admis sions which the force of truth (as we have remarked above) or the force of circumstances has elicited from the most determined partisan of the out-going tenants of the Cabinet. " Additional taxation," says this writer, " will inflict additionatAistress." Why this is true. If there could be superlative degrees of that which -is in itself alreauy perfect, we would say, " most true." Yet still, it is " most true" only so far as it goes. It is not the whole truth. Let us supply the remaining part of the proposition ;—" and that additional taxation having been laid on by her. Majesty's present advisers, it follows • that to them the people must attribute their additional distress." We are .not ungrateful, however, for an ad mission. of a political—unhappily , a practical truth, from such a quarter, although even it fall thus short of the extent of the fact. POST.—Even the most ingenious of the writings of the Whig-Radicals of the present day furnish us with nothing better than a specious variety in delusion. Even the most intellectual among them seem to be utterly in capable of anything in political controversy which is " direct and honest." Observe what they say with re ference to Mr. Huskisson. Many of the Conservatives avow themselves to be friendly to the views of trade policy developed by that gentleman, and contend that because they are so, they must be opposed to the wild proceedings of the puny " Liberals" of the pre sent day. The Whig-Radicals answer with an assump tion that were the principles of Mr. Huskisson in the ascendant the Liberalism of the present day would be \ successful. They say it is unphilosophical, and narrow, and so on, to abide by the letter of what Mr. Huskisson said in his day ; and that it is the part of a true political mind to distinguish between that servile imitation of a great man, which consists in adopting, and, under all circumstances, adhering, to the specific mea sures which he recommended, and that enlightened re verence which consists in studying the spirit of a master's views, and afterwards transfusing it into the reasonings and measures which may be applicable to new combina tions of affairs. We readily admit the justice of the dis tinction. To the abstract proposition we make no objection. The delusion consists in bringing it forward as if it cer tainly applied to the matter in hand, whereas it certainly does not. In the present case, namely, the policy of admitting foreign corn to this country for the sake of what is called " cheapness," and without reference to the other effects of such a policy, there is no new combina tion of affairs. The matter is argued upon precisely the same grounds that it was in Mr. Huskisson's time, and whalever may be thought of the validity of Mr. Huskisson's reasoning, there. can be no doubt in the mind of any man of common sense that the letter of his advice, as well as the spirit of it, is just as applicable to the present time as to the time in which that advice was given. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING - PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The rates of the Continental ex• changes underwent scarcely any alteration to-day, being nearly the same as last post, but on the whole they might be considered as exhibiting rather more firmness. The shipments of silver, it will be observed below, con tinue somewhat extensive ; this ci rcums t ance , combined with the exports of indigo purchased at the recent gales, must be calculated to give them some support, otherwise the imports of corn going on just now, although not on an extensive scale, would greatly counterbalance our exports to the Continent, and thus render the situa tion of the Bank of England, so far as the exchanges are concerned, in a more precarious position. It should not he lost sight of, however, that the recent failures in Vienna and elsewhere have not taken place without havinc , some influence on the exchanges, so far as having greatly circumscribed the dealings on 'Change , many in fluential operators havin g v ery prud e ntly abstained from entering into any fresh negotiations, beyond what was absolutely necessary, until things on the Continent as sume a better aspect than they do at present. ADVERTISER.—As some of our Conservative con temporaries have endeavoured to cast the aspersion 'upon the Liberal press, that it is desirous of exaggerating the injurious effects of the recent continuous rains, with the view of exciting discontent in the minds of the people against the Corn-laws, it may be as well to prove the groundlessness of such an assertion by referring to the authority of a publication that ranks highly with agriculturists as well as with the corn trade, viz., the Mark Lane Express. This authority, we may remark, is the more unimpeachable, inasmuch as the Express is a staunch advocate for the Corn-laws, the sliding scale, and wholesale protection to the domestic growers. Our private opinion is still in favour of nearly an average yield, should the weather yet prove favourable ; but as to the erroneous impression which seems to prevail in some quarters, that because the crops a few miles round London have a satisfactory appearance, the same must necessarily be the case in Scotland or Ireland, or even the North of England, the idea, on the face of it, is too absurd to need refutation. The remarks as to the limit ed stocks on hand, the lateness of the harvest, in fact every line of the following- extract from the Mark Lane E-2sPrfsl of yesterday evening is worthy of attentive pe 1u al : -- " Even under the most auspicious circumstances, it is now exceedingly doubtful whether wheat can yield an average, either in regard to quantity or quality. " In this situation it becomes a subject of vast impor tance to ascertain how we are really situated with regard to stocks, and whether, should these prove inadequate to our wants, sufficient corn could be procured from abroad to make up the deficiency. With regard to the first question, we can only repeat what we have already asserted, viz., that the quantity of wheat held by merchants, millers, &c., is trifling. in the extreme ; and after the most careful and extensive inquiries, we have reason to fear that though farmers may per- Imps still hold about as much as at this time last year, they would be ill prepared to afford supplies, should the ha rves t b e long protracte d, or p ro ve deci dedly short. Considerable importations from abroadwould, therefore, if s uc h s h ou ld unhappily o ccur, be required. It remains now to b e seen f rom whence t h ese can b e ob tained. The cons t ant d emand from t hi s coun t r y d ur i ng the last three years has nearly cleared out the old stocks at those ports of the north of Europe, from whence we are usually in the habit of drawing our supplies, and the utmost we could expect from the Baltic and llamburgli would not exceed 700,000 quarters. In the Black Sea "good stocks are held, and Canada and the United States would also have some quantity to spare should we really require it ; and as there are now about 500,000 quarters under the Queen's locks, in the different ports of the United Kingdom, there are fair grounds to conclude that, if foreign aid should be needed, sufficient might be procured to make up any ordinary deficiency. We sincerely trust, however, that we may not be driven to this extremity, nor do we as yet feel any serious ap prehensions, being convinced that one month of really tine hot weather would remedy most of the injury 'the growing grain crops have hitherto sustained." SUlsl.-:-IThe Halifax steamer may now be expected in the course of a clay or two, as she was to leave on the 19th instant. The overland mail is also looked for with some anxiety. The produce markets seem less buoyant, at least as regards two important articles of consumption—viz., tea and cinnamon, which at the auctions to- day went off very flatly. The former, indeed, was stopped before it had progressed far, by a rumour that the overland mail had arrived, but this proved to be unfounded. There was a very steady market for the Funds all day, and prices were firmly maintained. For immediate transfer Consols were marked 89,1 to 90, and for Ac count 90 to 901—the market closing at the highest of these quotations ; Exchequer Bills were at the premium of 17s. to 19s. ; and East India Bonds were firm at 9s. premium ; Bank Stock was steady at 171 ; and India Stock at 248 to 249 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realised 981 to 99 ; the Reduced Three-and-a- Half per Cents. 991 to a ; and the Three per CenL An nuities 901 to 90. A moderate business was done. There was scarcely anything doing in the Foreign Market. Active Spanish Bonds receded from 201 to 18 ; the New Five per Cent. Portuguese Bonds were done at .30s Mexican Bonds were a shade higher, viz., 26+ ; Cuba realized 71 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 511- to 52 and the Five per Cents. 102+ to 101 i. The Railway Shares were not brisk, but they brought previous rates. Great:Western obtained 20 to 21 ; the New 91 to 81 ; the Fifths 54 ; the London and Bir mingham 71, and the South Western, Tenths, 7V to prem. ; Brighton were GT, to 6i- ; Blackwall 9i ; Eastern Counties 15+; Hull and Selby 14 ; Midland Counties 13, and North Midland 341 discount. London and West minster Bank New Shares were 2 prem. ; London Joint Stock Bank 21 prem. ex. div., and Union of Australia, 6 prem. The Foreign Exchanges were rather firmer thii after noon. to 65c. on Amsterdam 12 3i. to 4 ; on Ham at26f. 6 0 c te n . t ; hree months' bills w er e negot i ate d Ham burgh 13 81 to 81 ; on Frankfort at 1491 ; and on Trieste 9 56 to 9 57. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—.W e have had no rain of any conseqdence since Thursday last, and Friday and Saturday last were bright and almost bril liant days ; but the temperature has been very low, and the weather altogether more like October than July. On Tuesday and Wednesday last we had a great deal of rain, but since the latter day the weather has been favour able for securing the hay crop, of which, however, a great quantity is still out, and even uncut. So far as the hay harvest is concerned, the season, which pro mised to be very early, has been very late, and the corn oef England.

SALMON FISHING.--,The exertions of the salmon fishers in this quarter have hitherto been attend ed with very considerable success. The number of ,fish taken is much greater than Inst year, and large quanti ties are from time to time shipped for the London market. A vast number of salmon has been caught this season at Hopeman, where the fishing is prosecuted with great spirit, under the auspices of Admiral Dufi, the enterpris ing proprietor of the harbour.—Elgin Courant. IRELAND. MARRIAGE OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT. .DUBLIN, JULY 26.—This forenoon the nuptials of his Excellency, the Earl Fortescue and Lady Somerville were solemnised at the Viceregal Lodge, Phoenix Park, by the Lord Bishop of Cashel. The ceremony was pri vate, only the immediate relatives of the parties being present. _ _ - Yesterday the Lord-Lieutenant entertained the fol lowing party at dinner, at the Viceregal Lodge:—Lord Viscount Morpetb, the Chief RemembrancEr, the Attor ney-General, the Solicitor-General, the Right Hon. T. Kennedy, Mr. N. Macdonald, Mr. Fitzsimon, Mr. Corry Connellor, Captain Romilly, the Hon. J. Fortescue and the Hon. St. George Foley, Aides-de-camp. PETITION AGAINST THE RETURN FOR WA- TERFORD. The petition of tim *Reformers against the fraudulent return_of the Tories for the city of 'Waterford was lodged in the Hanaper-office this day. Even if the Committee should be composed altogether of Tories, they can scarcely avoid setting aside the return, because the case is so perfectly clear and decisive. REPEAL ASSOCIATION-THIS DAY, The usual weekly meeting was held this day in the Corn Exchange, which was very much crowded through mut the proceedings. Mr. O'Connell arrived at half-past one o'clock. his' appearance was greeted with the roost enthusiastic applause. Owing to the crowded state of the gallery, nine - or ten ladies were accommodated with vents behind the chair. Michael Staunton, Esq., Proprie tor of the Morning Register, was called to the chair. Mr. O'CoxxELT, said he had to hand in 4301. from persons wbo (lid not wish at present to give their names. --(Great cheering.) _ _ The SEcnETAlii - proceeded to read the correspondence received during the past week. The first letter was from the Secretary of the " Repeal of the Irish Union Society." at Providence, Rhode Island, America, inclosing 53/. ss. 2d. Mr. O'CONNELL moved that this letter be inserted on the minutes of the-. Association, and that their thanks be given to their friends at Rhode Island. He hailed with delight this gen?rous expression of sympathy from their fellow countrymen in America. The next letter read was from the Rev. Mr. Brennan, at Bellville, County of Hastings, Canada, inclosing 18/. 45., being the subscriptions of 120 persons. Mr. O'CONNELL moved the admission of these persons as members of the Association. He could do so in this case. as they were their fellow-subjects. Th 3 motion w as passed with ac:damation. Oth3r sums wore received from different parishes in Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL then rose to call attention to the pre sent state of affairs. First, in Dublin, they had been defeated by West and Grogan, but it should not be sup posed for a moment by the Association that this defeat was produced : by the decision of the real electors of Dub lin. The present Members had been returned by that class of animals called "assessors."—(Laughter and groans.) After making some comment on the Dublin and Carlow elections, he proceeded -to say, the present contest had assumed an aspect ,of religious antipathy, which was produced by the Tories. They had also excited a feel ing of hatred towards Ireland, even among the English Catholics. He read an advertisement from the Tablet of -last Saturday; a Roman Catholic paper, for a cook ; every qualification as to abilities and character was re quired, and she should be a Catholic, but there were tacked to this advertisement the words, "No Irish need apply." Here was an advertisement coming from a Roman Catholic ! .- And this cool expression of national antipathy was published in the only Catholic organ in England. What would the English Catholics be now but for the Irish—he might say for this room—for this man ?—(Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell concluded by reading the following address, which contains several topics al luded to by him : "DECLARATION OF GRIEVANCES AND RIGHTS TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND. " Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not, 'Who would be free themselves must strike the blow? Can Gaul or Muscovite relieve you? No! By your own right arms your freedom must be wrought.' " Corn Exchange, July 26, 1841. " Fellow Countrymen—The Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland respectfully lay before you the following declaration of the rights of Irishmen, and state ment of the wrongs and oppression which Ireland has endured and yet endures. " We lay before you a plain and unexaggerated pro position of historical fact, or of matter now existing. We do not desire, to mitigate anything, but we are deter mined not to exaggerate. The plain statement of facts will have a more powerful and permanent effect than any imaginative description. 1. No country upon the face of the globe ever in flicted upon any other country such wrongs and iniquitous oppressions as England has inflicted upon Ireland. "2. No country upon the face of the earth ever sus tained and endured from another country so much wrong and oppression as Ireland has endured from England. " 3.. No country in the world ever violated towards any other country its plighted faith, and solemn treaties so often and so foully as England has done towards Ire land ; from the massacre of Mulloghmaston to the treaty of Limerick, and from the treaty of Limerick to the unanimous pledge given to Ireland by King, Lords, and Commons. in 1834, at the conclusion of the first debate on the Repeal of the Union. " 4. So far from having relaxed in the antipathy to the Irish people, and their hatred of the religion of the Irish nation, the English people now exhibit more venomous virulence and acrimony than ever they did in the worst periods of our history. "5. Another fact, that the disposition to insult the Irish people is not confined to any party holding the reins of power, is demonstrated by the fact that the mo tion to place the franchises of England and Ireland upon an equality was opposed by Lord Morpeth with as much determination as it could be by Sir Robert Peel, or even Scorpion Stanley. " 6. That the hatred of Ireland is not confined to any Government, but is a popular and national hatred, is proved by this fact—that the English constituencies have returned to the present Parliament an overwhelming majority of enemies to the Irish people, and especially to the religion of that people. " 7. That the English aristocracy have stimulated, and arc at the head of the present hostile movement against Ireland. They have used their influence in affording a highly lucrative patronage to those organs of public opi nion which are the most atrocious calumniators of Ireland and of Catholicity. " 8. That the aristocracy of England, the leaders of the present hostile movement against Ireland, have em ployed enormous masses of their wealth in the most pro fligate corruption of the English constituencies, in or der to procure the return to Parliament of the inveterate and virulent enemies to Ireland and to Catholicity. " 9. That this wicked hostility to Ireland and to her Catholic people is vicious, almost to a pitch of demoniacal. insanity, inasmuch as it is exhibited at a period when the Irish people, instead of meriting this satanic hostility, are in reality deserving of the respect and gratitude of the English aristocracy of wealth and rank. " 10. That the claim of the Irish people to such respect and gratitude is founded upon these plain facts ; that Ireland never was so generally, or for such a length of time tranquil, or unstained by so few retaliatory outrages as she is now and has been during the Reform Adminis tration, and that the Irish people have not only refused all communion with the torch and dagger Chartists, but actually demonstrated their readiness to protect the Throne and Constitution, at the expense of their lives, against those misguided persons. " 11. That this diabolical enmity of the English aris tocracy and electors is still further enhanced by the fact that it is exhibited in contravention of the mild and bene volent virtues, and just and patriotic intentions of the wise and illustrious Lady who fills the Throne of these realms, and whom may God long preserve ! " 12. That another aggravation of the unprovoked and insane hatred of the English aristocracy and electors to people of Ireland is to be found in the contrast with Scotland ; the majority of the Scottish people being de cidedly favourable to justice to Ireland. " 13. The insanity of the hatred of the English aris tocracy and electors towards Ireland is further demon strated by the fact that their re-establishment of the Orange oppressions and massacres in Ireland will by inevitable consequenbe i diMinish the strength of the British empire and its influence upon foreign nations, by rendering the people of Ireland justly discontented and unwilling to, contribute in purse or in person to the support of such a Government. " 14. That under the Administration conducted by Peel and Lord Stanley, it will be imprudent—and, in deed, utterly unsafe—to call out the Irish militia, as that force must necessarily be constituted in the propor tion of ninety-nine Catholics for one of every other re. ligion. " 15. That Foreign Powers, in dealing with the Peel- Stanley Administration, will avail themselves of the weakness and wickedness of that Administration, occa sioned by their misgovernment of Ireland. " 16. That the conduct of the Tory aristocracy and electors in England is thus manifestly marked by that insane self-delusion and political extravagance which ap pear from history to precede, as they presage, some sig nal national vengeance of the Almighty. " We call the attention of the people of Ireland to the consideration of the facts we thus exhibit. We lay these facts before that people—not so much to stimu late their exertions as to guide and direct their conduct, to inspire hope, and not to generate despair ; to suggest to the natural shrewdness and sagacity of the Irish nation the impossibility of the continuance of a system of administration so unjust, so iniquitous, and at the same time so insane as that now threatened by the sup porters of Peel and Stanley. " WE NOW PROCEED TO THE ENUMERATION OF THE GRIEVANCES OF WHICH THE IRISH PEOPLE COM PLAIN : " 1. Our first grievance is, that Ireland has not ob tained an equalization of privileges, franchises, and rights, with the people of England and Scotland. " 2. This grievance is much aggravated by the fact thatireland was deprived of her natural protection — a nalive Parliament —and burdened with the weight of what is called a union, without being such in reality. "3 . The giant practical grievance of Ireland is, that the ecclesiastical state revenues of the nation are enjoyed by the church of a small minority, 4. This giant grievance is much aggravated by th e fact, that the cle r gy of the d ominant Church are in gene ral virulent enemies of the Irish people, hostile to their rights, and ca lumnious of thems e l ves an d of their religion. 5. Anot h er great grievance of which The Irish justly complain is, the scanty and inadequate measure of cor porate reform doled out to them by the United Parlia ment in a manner much more restricted than the corpo rate reform enjoyed by the English and the Scotch. "6. The next great and outrageous grievance of which we complain, is, that the elective franchise in Ireland is restricted by law to a miserable fraction of the Irish pen ple. Practically speaking, th e f ranc hi se is not enjoye d by three per cent, of the male adult population, whilst • from five-and-twenty to thirty per cent. of the male adult population of England and Scotland enjoy the elective franchise. " 7. The next great and outrageous grievance sus tained by the people of Ireland is, that they are inade quately represented in Parliament. The Irish ought, upon a calculation of comparative revenue and popula tion, to posseis more than 170 Representatives. They have but 105. "8. The next great grievance —and one of the most emaciating nature--is the enormous increase of the ab sentee drain occasioned by the union ; to the amount al together of, probably, more than four millions of pounds sterling per annum. " 9. That this evil is greatly aggravated by the sur plus revenue of Ireland being also remitted to England, to the amount of nearly two millions sterling per annum, thus exhausting Ireland by the payment of a tribute of upwards of five millions ,sterling per annum. " 10. That the greatest; the master grievance —the source of all others to Ireland—is the legislative union ; a union brought about by force, fraud, treachery, corrup tion, and bloodshed. " It ought to sink deep in the minds of the English aristocracy that no people on the face of the earth pay to another such a tribute for permission to live, as Ireland pays to England in absentee rents and surplus revenue. There is no such instance—there is nothing like it in an cient or modern history. There is not, and there never was, such an exhausting process applied to any country as is thus applied to Ireland. It is a solecism in political economy, inflicted upon Ireland alone of all the nations that are or ever were. Under heaven there is not— there cannot be any remedy save on e , and that remedy can be discovered and worked out by an Irish Parlia ment—and by nothing but an Irish Parliament. " We have stated the grievances which Ireland endures, and under which she actually suffers. Grievances unparalleled in any other country. " Yet, fellow-countrymen, it is, alas ! but too true, that these grievances, which ought to satiate the malignity of fiends, are not sufficient to satisfy the acrimonious viru lence of the Orange Tory party. That party audaciously threaten to inflict upon the Irish nation the following additional calamities : " 1. They intend to carry into full effect the Scorpion Bill of Stanley, to annihilate the elective franchise in Ireland. They say they will have the power, and you know they have the inclination, to annihilate the re priventation of Ireland, or to reduce it to a mere mockery, controlled and possessed by the Irish Orangeists. "2. The Peel-Stanley party add insult to injury. They declare the that the people of Ireland are such, VILLAINOUS PERJURERS' that they justly forfeit all right to adequate representation. " 3. The Stanley-Peel party declare that they will fill the bench of justice with the most acrimonious partisans they can find—with men who declare their conviction that the Irish are systematic perjurers, and that perjury is encouraged by their religion. "4. The Peel-Stanley party declare that they will not only thus deprive the Catholics of Ireland of all hope or chance of justice from the Superior Courts, but that they will forcibly compel the Irish people to submit to such injustice. " 5. The Stanley-Peel party declare that they will select their Sheriffs from the most violent Orange par tisans from each county and city in Ireland. " 6. The Peel-Stanley party declare that the will re store the practice, some time gone by, of packing Juries in all the criminal cases ; and allow. no man to remain on the criminal Jury panel but partisans of their own religion and politics. " 7. The Stanley-Peel party declare that they will correct the lists of Magistrates by striking out several impartial men, and adding to it clergymen of the Estab lished Church, and every virulent Orange partisan they can procure. "8. The Peel-Stanley party declare that the people of Ireland must submit to all these additional indignities and iniquities, and that no efforts, however constitutional and legal, to mitigate these evils, or to obtain relief, will be permitted by the civil or military authorities. " 9. The Stanley-Peel party declare that the Piess in Ireland shall be subdued ; that, in the present iniquitous state of the libel law, they will meet every unpalatable truth by a State prosecution ; that they will prevent the exposure of their crimes by all the inflictions which a bad law and partisan Judges can possibly furnish ; by the summary process of attachment, and by the equally vex atious, though more tedious, proceeding by ex-qfficio in formation or indictment. "In fine, betwetn present grievances'andfuture oppres sions, the object of the Peel-Stanley party is to deprive the people of Ireland of all constitutional channels of exertion and of every ray of hope, and ultimately to force them, if possible, into open insurrection. " Wa caution you, beloved friends, not to be provoked into any such course. Your bitter and unrelenting ene mies would be delighted could they drive you intoinsur rectionary courses and violent resistance. You could not gratify your enemies more than by adopting such a course. A stronger argument cannot be used to induce you to avoid it, than the certain knowledge that you could not possibly please your mortal Orange enemies more than by violating the law or committing any outrage. You are unorganised, and you must continue to be so. You are undisciplined, and you must continue to be so. You are unarmed, and you must continue to be so. England is at peace with all Europe and America. The Orange party, once in power, could, under such circumstances, pour into Ireland more than 100,000 of the best armed, best disciplined, and bravest troops in the world. They would be irresistible in the field, whilst the dastard Orangemen, of no use in the day of combat, would gloat upon the work of mas sacre, of female violation, and of every other crime which the defeated and the defenceless could endure from the malignity of human fiends. "Do not, therefore, we most earnestly and solemnly conjure you—do not gratify your enemies by committing any outrage. 1)o not give them strength by committing any breach of the law. " Remember, and keep constantly before your eyes, the leading maxim, the very basis of the Loyal Repeal Association—that WHOEVER COMMITS A CRIME STRENGTHENS TIIE ENEMY.' " But there is another, a higher, a nobler motive for your acquiesence in present evils, and for your submis sion to the law. It is to be found in your affectionate, your grateful, your most dutiful allegiance to your illus trious Sovereign. May the great God of Heaven bless and protect her ! Should you be reckless of yourselves, yet recollect you owe a duty to HER and to your Goy, to secure the tranquillity of her Throne, and to prevent the possibility of disfiguring her reign by the shedding of one drop of human blood. No political amelioration was ever worth one drop of human blood. "Be tranquil, then, fellow-countrymen--be forbear ing—be enduring ; BUT BE NOT WITHOUT HOPE. O❑ the contrary, be confident, be full of the expectation of future and not distant triumph : the Orange-Tory reign, the Stanley-Peel domination cannot endure long. In its nature it must be transitory and evanescent. The evil times that approach cannot last long. Amongst the English people themselves Ireland has many active and zealous friends. The friends of Ireland, to be sure, are comparatively few among the English people ; yet, taken by themselves, they are numerous ; and if they be not zealous, they are at all events sincere. Hope some thing from the existence of your English friends. " The majority of the Scotch nation are with you. Hope much from their zealous and spirited assistance. "The Queen, my friends—our noble Queen—heartily and sincerely desires to see justice done to Ireland : your enemies are equally her enemies ; she is in their toils ; she wears their fetters: but, with the blessing of heaven, and the aid of good men, her bonds shall be broken, your enemies scattered, and she shall be restored to the bril liant freedom of her majestic throne. "Be peaceable, be orderly—A iolate no law —commit no offence. But whilst we conjure you to adopt this course, in the voice of allegiance to the Queen, and in reverence to your God, do we ask you to be acquiescent, silent, torpid ? " No, no—a thousand times no !' " On the contrary, we call upon you to rouse into ac tion, to be energetic, determined, persevering ; lose no day, lose no hour in silent inactivity. Exert yourselves within the limits of the law, and in the channels of con stitutional agitation, and no other. " Hold nicetings; register votes, prepare petitions to Parliament. Tell that assembly manfully—and through them tell the civilized world—how you think, and what you feel. " Let every parish in Ireland simultaneously meet to address the Queen. Let us all pledge our lives, and all we pos assusess, fo her r the protectionshe may depend with the utmost certitude upon the bravery and fidelity of her Irish people. " Whatever be the result—whether the Queen shall be allowed to select for her Ministry friends of Ireland, or whether she shall be overpowered for a season by Tory corruption and intimidation —let our fidelity be unim peachable, hable our allegianc e pure and unbroken— True as the dial to the sun, Although it be not shone upon.' N o despair, no hopelessness. On the contrary, be buoyant with hope, and cheerful in your expectations. There is, fellow -countrymen, one great, one unfailing resource—one instrument of terror to the Orange Tories, of protection and success to the friends of Ireland—the peaceful agitation of the Repeal of the Union.

It is said the Repeal is impracticable. Impracticable !! ! There is no such word in the vocabulary of a generous, a moral, a religious, a brave people. " Impracticable —to repeal an Act of Parliament ? Impracticable —when that Repeal is required by the overwhelming majority of a nation of near NINE MIL LIONS of human beings ? That which is really imprac ticable is to inince such a nation to continue to submit to the gross, glaring, iniquitous oppression and misrule of the Union. " Rally, then, with us, men of Ireland. Let every human being declare for the Repeal. Let there be no ' parish without Repealers and Repeal wardens. Peace ably and constitutionally declare your determination, by enrolling yourselves in the Loyal National Repeal As sociation qf " There is no other means to prevent a separation , from England—from haughty, bigoted, tyrannical Eng gland—except the Repeal of the Union. There is no other way to obtain prosperity or liberty for Ireland, but the Repeal of the Union.

EVENING SUN. TH.E QUEEN'S PROGRESSES. The iireparations at Woburn Abbey for the recept:on of the Queen and Prince Albert are admitted on all hands to be magnificent and worthy of the occasion. Those at Pansanger and Brocket Hall are on the same grand scale, and it may the re f ore b e i nteresting to oar readers to ye a short historical account of these splen did mansions. The Royal guests will arrive at Pansan ger to-morrow, and on the following day will honour Lord Melbourne with a visit at Brocket Hall. The ac counts which we subjoin are from actual inspection as well as from documentary records. PANSANGER.—This elekant mansion belongs to Earl Cowper, and is situated about three miles from Hertford. It has only of late years become the family residence of the Cowpers, their more ancient seat being Coln-green, at a little distance to the south-west. Lord Cowper, however, in 1801, pulled down the old house at Coln green, which had been erected by Lord Chancellor Cow per in the beginning of the eighteenth century, and built the present handsome house in the Gothic style of architecture upon the site of the manor of Pansanger, on the north-east bank of the river Mimeram. It has, moreover, been recently considerably enlarged and im proved, and now forms, With its beautiful park, one of the most delightful objects in this part of the country. This manor, variously called Pansanger, Blachmene, and Blahemere, lies in the parish of St. Andrew, Hert ford, and was bestowed by William the Conqueror, at the time of the Conquest, upon Geoffrey de Bech, one of his followers. It is thus recorded in Domesday Sur vey I. ` GeOffrey Runeville holds of Geoffrey (de Bech) one hide in Blachmere. There is land to two ploughs. There is one to the demesne, and another may be made. There is one villane with two borders, meadow for to ploughs, pasture for the cattle, and pannage for the forty hogs. This land is, and was, worth fifteen shillings ;in King Edward's time, forty shillings,. Tivo of King Edward's Thanee held this land, and might sell it." Any further acount of the descent of this manor is not to be met with among old records, till the reign of King Henry the Eighth, when it formed part of the possessions of Gertrude Courtney, Marchioness of Exeter, upon whose attaimkr it came to the Crown. Afterwards, King Henry the Eighth, by his letters patent, dated the 18th of June, in the 38th year of his reign, granted it by the more modern name of Pansanger, to Nicholas Throg morton, Esq., in fee. Pansanger, afterwards, by means which are not ascertainable, became the property of Sir Stephen Slaney, who was knighted in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and chosen Lord Mayor of the city, in the thirty-seventh year of her reign. From him it con tinued in the family till it became by descent and pur chase entirely vested, by intermarriage, in the hands of Elwes, a merchant of London, by whom it was sold to William, son of William, first Earl Cowper. This nobleman was sprung from. an ancient family, seated at Strode, in Sussex, in the reign of Edward the Fourth. The place of his birth is not known, but i 9 is supposed that. he vas born in the Castle at Hertford, which his family occupied for several years previous to their erection of the family seat at Coln-green. He was brought up to the profession of the law, and on the 4th of May, 1707, was created Lord High Chancellor. Upon the removal of the Earl of Godolphin', on the Bth of August, 1710, from the post of Lord Treasurer, and the resignation of the other Whig Ministers, Lord Cowper waited upon the Queen to resign the seals, which her Majesty returned to him three times after he had laid them down. At last, when she could not prevail by entreaty, she commanded him to take them, adding, " I beg it as a favour of you, if I may use that expression." The Chancellor was twice married; by his second wife he had two sons, by the eldest of whom, William, the purchaser of this manor of Pansanger, he was suc ceeded in his titles and estates. After two descents, Pansanger fell into the hands of the late Earl, fifth of this title, and who in 1805 married the first Viscount Melbourne's daughter, by whom he had a son, the pre sent Earl. He succeeded his father in 1837, and married in 1833 the eldest daughter of Earl de Grey. In the pleasure-grounds at Pansanger is a most superb oak, as remarkable for the largeness of its dimensions as for the vigour of its growth. It measures upwards of seventeen feet in circumference, at five feet from the ground. It was called the " great oak "in 1709 1 it is very healthy, yet grows in a gravel surface, apparently as sterile as any soil whatever ; but it undoubtedly ex tends 'its top roof into a soil of a very different quality. By a measurement taken in the year 1719, this magnifi cent tree was found to contain 315 cubic feet of timber, and by a subsequent one made by Mr. Edward Ellis, of Hertford, on the 29th of May, 105, by the direction of Earl Cowper, it contained 796 cubic feet, including those branches which were sufficiently large to be -considered timber. BROCKET HALL—This seat stands in a beautiful park on the north-east bank of the River Lea. It derives its name from its ancient proprietors, the family of Brocket; of whom, Sir John Brocket served the Vice of Sheriff for the county in which it is situated,'in the years 1566 and 1581. Thisgallant soldier in the year 1577, received the honour of knighthood, and in the year 1585, was en trusted with the training and inspection of the men who were levied and trained in these parts at the time of the Spanish armament, in Queen Elizabeth's reign, and whence, they were forwarded to the camp at Tilbury. From the family of Brocket, this estate passed into that of Read, upon the marriage of Thomas Read, of Barton, in Berkshire, with Mary, fifth daughter and co-heir of Sir John Brocket, Knight. Passing by several minor descents, we fi' . .Ad it come at last into the hands of the Lamb family ; who at present hold it, and who became passenors of it by purchase about the year 1755. Sir Matthew Lamb was succeeded in the possession of the estate by Sir Peniston Lamb, who, after having served in Parliament for 'three several places, viz. Laggershall, Malmesbury, and Newport, was, in the year 1780, created Viscount Melbourne, of the Kingdom of Ireland ; and, by patent, dated the 11th of August, 1815, Baron Melbourne, of Melt,ourne, in the county of Derby. The conjunction of the Mel bourne and Cowper families took place in the year 1805, by the marria g e of Emily Mary Mfg - bourne to Peter Leopold Lewis Francis, Earl Covr'per. The present seat of Brocket Hall was begun by Sir Matthew Lamb, from the designs of Mr. James Payne, architect, upon the site of the ancient manor-house, and completed, in its present form, by his son and successor, the present Viscount Melbourne, who has enlarged the river in front of the house, into a spacious sheet of water, by throwing an embankment across the valley, over which the principal approach to the house is car ried, by means of a handsome stone bridge of three arches. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the Dow ager Lady Lyttelton, Hon. Aiiss Sarah Cavendish, Mar quis of Headfort, Mr. George Edward Anson, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel Bouverie, arrived at Woburn Ab bey, Bedfordshire, on Monday evening, having experi enced a most gratifying and enthusiastic reception throughout the whole of the route from Windsor Castle. The Royal party occupied three carriages and four. The Duke of Wellington, th e Duke of Devonshire, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess of Leinster, Earl de Grey, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, and other visitors who had been honoured with invitations to meet her Majesty, ar rived at the Abbey in the course of the day, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford. After dinner the following Loyal. Ode, in honour of her Majesty's arrival, was sung in the west front of We burn Abbey, to the tune of " God save the Queen;"— God bless the Royal pair, This is our midnight prayer, God save the Queen ; Now stars their vigils keep, Now night winds around us sweq. And now the world's asleep, God bless the Queen. Day's rapant now's away, Yet loyal hearts still stay, Prolong the strain ; Guard, Lord, the Royal pair, Thy mercies let them share, From every harm and care, God save the twain. The Royal parents bless, Their child--our young Princess, Do thou defend ; And when life's day is done — Its course in glory run -0 may their mortal sun In brightness end. Now let the welkin ring, While Woburn minstrels sing Their loyal theme. M a y Briton's sons prolong Our Woburn Park night song, And shout the anthem strong, God save the Queen. The unfavourable state of the weather in the early part Of t he m orning yesterday, prevented the 'caring Woburn Abbey in the forenoon.

The late county contests have presented a singu lar phenomenon. The hungry farmers (who devour each other by their competition for the of farms over each other's heads, and who oppress the poor by making their wealth out of them in the summer and autumn, and throwing them on the parish in the winter), these hungry farmers and their parish priests—the study of whose lives is, how to plunder and get the most out of each other—are to be found banded together in the struggle to maintain the iniquitous Corn-laws. It is a peculiar feature in the Popish-Protestant Church of England, that its tithe-fed priests and their country flocks are in harmony only when mischief and injustice to the community are to bc.. perpetrated.
