It was said by Lord Ossul -1.44. 411,4 Proniises of these persons were obtained by Vis e I surdA Llt len, as to what his feelings and wishes Ili .saulston himself could not be cognizant of this 1.,1 , ,,°, 1 4 r ti,n h it t .. positively denied by his friend near him, tirkt positively sloe the character of that gentleman itik:;:4:;isttrot:trih,fo,etotilittr.toaetgtli.;(!iinty would make it totally unnecessary for L v 'ro t i o hj ize , l .lirt her pro o f[ h such was the fact. But, at the Les' imony of Mr. Robertson re lie held in Ins hand a statement made sy o she electors of that viliPge who had signed their tiecual tht 11 h that he trusted it' i o,P 4 i L ttlit I , le was Fo imtam ' - ..Oie er U rn th read it. ['i ho pe (locum( nt was stssuco of NVark, who declared that when Mr, Rc. bertson was at that village, he never gave them to miderstane :hat I ord Ossulston was canvassing for himself and Lord Howie!:; but, on the contrary, when they had heard at Ber wick that Lord Ossulston had coalesced with Mr. Crtsswell, they said they could not support: Lord Ossulston equally with Lord Howick, as they had before intended. Oue cf the party said he had been told by Lord Ossulston at Berwick, that the coalition had been entered into, and his name joined with Mr. Cresswell, without his knowledge. The document was signed by Lavidson, Alien, ••i-nith, Scott, and Thompson. Was it right in Lord Ossulston then to induce these men to break their promises? Where was the distinction between breaking one's own word and compelling others to break theirs? Did Lord Ossulston imagine that becatve a man happened to be poor, or in a lower rank of life than himself, he was insensible to those feelings of honour which ought to exist in the bosom of every honest man ?—( Lord Ossulston —" The statement is is a tissue of misrepresentation from beginning to end.") Lerd Ossulston said it was a misrepresentation. He thought that would be best proved by Lord Ossulston answer ing here, in the face of them all, what he was now stating. He did not know whether Lord Ossulston used anything like threats—(" Oh, oh !" and Laughter)— he had not stated that he had done so.—(" Yes, yes," and " No, no.") But what he did stated was this--that when a landlord called persons of their situation together, and mcst urgently insisted upon their votes, he knew well they would understand the danger of refusing, unless it was explained to them far more clearly and more distinctly than from his information he be lieved to have been done that they might with safety act ac cording to the dictates of their consciences. And even if this had been told them—even if they had been clearly told ti 'act as they pleased, he did not think it right or prol•er for a person connected with them as Lord Ossulston was to urge those persons to break their promises. lie would only fur thsr add, that there was one person who he knew had en deavoured to induce those electors who had promised their sup port to him to withdraw it.--t Cries of "Name, name.") There was more than one case.—(Cries of " Name, name.") Mr. Tewart. That gentleman, he had been informed, had used his in fluence over atenant of his who had promised to vote for him (Lord Howick). The tenant's name was Watson ; there was no doubt that he had promised to vote for him, and that he had voted against him was equally certain. Mr. Tewart was known to have canvassed him ; and for the effects of that canvas he could not do otherwise than believe that owing to his influence the vote was withdrawn. But he had been insensibly led by interruption into saying more than he had intended when he came upon the hustings. He had now only to add upon the subject of undue influence, that if his opponents wished to disprove his words, if they wished to show that they were not guilty of that which had been imputed to them, he trusted they would prove by their conduct to those pet sons whom he had named that they should not suffer for the maintenance of their independence. He could tell Lord Ossulston and tke gentlemen of the opposite party, that the eyes of the country were upon them, and would observe how those five persons who had signed the paper he had read would be treated for the future. He would now only say, that though defeated on this occasion, though this battle had been lost, he trusted the result would teach them never to rely again upon their opponents. If they still honoured him with their confidence, and supported him with the zeal they now manifested towards him, he should be proud again to come forward.—(Cheers from the Noble Lord's supporters.) He should be happy to come forward, and join once more with them in the struggle ; and if any other candidate was preferred by them he should be equally ready to render him in the same cau:..e the most zealous assistance in his power.—(Applause, and cri r ,'s of " Two Whigs.") If they meant to fight this bat tle, let him remind them to lose no time in making prepara tion fur it. They knew not how soon the struggle might come. He trusted they would remember that it was by registering their names as electors that this battle was to be fought.— ( Applause. ) Lord OSSULSTON again stood forward, and, in reply to the statements of the preceding speaker, said, he would just tell them a plain story, and leave them to judge upon the merits of the case. He was coiled into this part of the county on being told that Mr. Robertson was going to give a dinner to the electors of Norham, and it was feared that the effect of that dinner might be to induce some to retract their votes, which had been already promised to Mr. Cresswell and himself. Upon his arrival at Norham, he found this to have been the case, and that one voter.—(" Name, name.")—he found the dinner had taken place, and that Mr. Wood presided, and that he had been induced, he would not say by whom, to retract his vote.—(Mr. Robertson " That gentleman voted for your Lordship.") Mr. Wood promised him a vote at Berwick. — ( Mr. Robertson " And ho gave it you at my request, my Lord.") He could not tell what had subsequently occurred ; but when he went to Mr. Wood after the dinner, he refused the vote which he had previously promised him ; and this was not the case with Mr. Wood alone, but with several others of the electors of Norham—by undue influence exercised over them they had retracted their promises. This was, however, only one part of the case. He was then desired to proceed to Work, for the electors who had promised him their first vote, and told Mr. Richard Hodgson they would reserve their mcond ones till he (Lord Ossulston) or some authorized person should come amongst them, had been induced by Mr. Robertson to pledge their second vote to Lord Howoc. He would tell them what they , had themselves told him...-that from what Mr. Robertson had said, the impression was eeiveyed to their minds that his ( Lord Ossulton's) desire was that they should sive their second vote to Lord Howick. Mr. Robe;tton had denied that he vaid this, and he was bound to believe him, but it was the same thing, provided the impression was crea.'d upon the minds of the voters, and if by that impression they wee,' induced to give their second vote to Lord Howick, which was alrea& Wedged to him. If the Noble Lord had read the whole of the respondence they would have seen the entire transaction; and, moreover, be would pledge himself, after the publicity which had been given to it, to publish that correspondence. Mr. R. Honcsow, M.P., then addressed the electors at considerable length, and was followed by Mr. Robertson and Mr. H. Hinde, M.P., upon the question of the threats im puted to Lord Ossulston and his friends. Lord Howtce briefly explained, and The HIGH SHERIFF, availing himself of a temporary si lence, sad the business of the day having been brought to a conclusion, he dissolved the meeting. YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING). The following short speech made by Lord Morpeth at Wakefield, on Monday, at the official declaration of the poll, needs no comment ; for it only confirms what all those ac quainted with his Lordship know, that with great abilities he possesses the most amiable and generous disposition. The re ception he met 'with from the peopl9 shows that he is as much beloved by his opponents as his own friends ; a circumstance which, perhaps, cannot be said of any other candidate during these elections:— Lord Moarwrit then presented himself to the people amidst cheers, long and loud continued, and to the credit of the Blues, be it said, they appeared to vie with their opponents in giving his Lordship a most hearty reception. His Lordship, after silence was obtained, thus speket—lnhabitants of the West Riding of Yorkshire, I come 3 et once again before you— (" Without your cocked hat," cried a fellow in the crowd, which created much mit th)—l come Set once again before you in the order duly assigned to me as the lowest on the poll. I am the last person, and it would be the last object I could have in sieve to aim at dissembling the magnitude of the triumph which our opponents have wrested from us. On the contrary, I clearly think it the most signal, and the most decisive which has as yet been attached to the car of Conservative re-aetion.—(Cheers.) I have to re sign the representation of the West Riding of Yorkshire into the hands of Mr. Wortley.--(" But not for long," and cheers.) I say,Mr. Wortley, for let my defeat have at least that allevia tion. I must be allowed to consider him as my immediate con queror. We are tho old competitors. I have already, as he has told you to-day, met him twice in no inglorious warfare. lie knows better than I can tell him, that there are recol lections and passages of out former lives, which must make me prefer him to almost any other man as my successful rival.— ( Ch s eers. ) But in transferring my late position into his more fortunate hands, I cannot dissemble the price and splendour of the dower..—(Cheers.) I have been too fond of it, too proud of it for that.—(Cheers.) Some topics were glanced at by him which might seem to me to call for some comment—l will not say for some recrimination, but on such topics I cannot linger now. Mr. Wortley has, indeed, reproached us with having taken a leaf out of their book, and of having aimed at a monopoly of representation.—(Laughter.) Now, gentlemen, notwithstanding the issue of our recent struggle, I, for one, can never regret that we have fought the battle double handed.—(Cheers.) For 1 thir.k, considering what the declared opinions of this Riding had hitherto been, and what the nature of the questions was which have been submitted to its derision, with a double contest, the defeat of one Member only would have been tantamount to the prostra tion of both.—(Cheers.) The public questions at issue con stitute, of course, the really important pat t of such a transac tion as the present. With respect to them also, I cannot fail to be sensible of the grave and intimate bearing which the de cision of this great constituency may have, in the present con juncture of affairs, upon the concerns of finance, trade, and commerce.—(Cheers.) Not, gentlemen, that I can feel, in a greater measure, now than heretofore, any manner of doubt or misgiving as to the ultimate success of the prin ciples upon which the present Government have staked their credit, and, as it would seem, have perilled their existence.—(Cheers.) No, gentlemen; nor less in this hour of defeat that when I stood in this place on Non. day last, surrounded by all the appearances, at !east, and per haps some of the anticipations, of triumph—not less do 1 feel persuaded that the opinions and measures of which I war the feeble representative and advocate are even now mol in; in their onward though unseen track, and hastening to their ac complishment.—( Great cheering.) It is but too possible that t he verdict passed upon them by this large Riding, and b) some of the more important towns within it, may postpone the hour for gathering the fast-fruits, and may aggravate the but den, and inflame the heat of the day ; but I most firml) and hopefully believe that, happily for the i rosperity of our species, the cause of truth and justice, on whatever side it lies, is, however slowly, swe in the end to be uppermost.— ( Cheers.) And if there is one subject more th an anot h er on which a nation is most likely ultimately to see it self righted, it is on that which concerns its food.— ( Hear, and cheers.) But, gentlemen, I f ee l t h at I am no longer in a position which entitles me to trouble you with my opinions upon political questions , or upon matters relating to )our own concerns.—(Criss of .6 Go on.") To yourselves l may properly and safely leave them. Yost have already, in your day and generation, done noble service to the cause of our common country.—(Cheers.) I t rust t h at many more of such bright achievements are still in store for you, under what ever' auspices they lr coi.ducted. But after the long period of our connection, which has now lasted through eleven years and five Parliaments--(Cheers)--alter the transa c ti ons to which we have been parties, and the teems we have been on tegether, 1 hope that before we part you will allow me to say a few, and but a few, words further upon points pertaining more to my own relations with you than to any public concern,— (Cheers.) I am willing to flatter myself that even with my po litical opponents I leave behind nothing but political differences --(Long. ccntinued cheering from the whole mass of the people) —and that we separate without any ground for angry retros pection or for personal offence.- - -(Cheers, especially from his Lordship's of ponents.) But as to those with whom I have had the greater happiness of agreeir g, now that so many re collections of considerate kindness, of .disinterested zeal, of ge nerous forbearance, of past struggles, of past victories, come rushing at once upon my mind, I feel what language cannot embody, and thanks cannot convey.—(Cheers.) I have learned gentlemen, even to love the inanimate features of your natural landscapes, with which I have grown familiar during my re peated canvass among your heath-crowned hills and your wide spread valleys.—( Cheers.) But how much mole, then, has my spirit bounded in answer to the cheers which roused the mountain echoes, or to the welcome which ushered me into the busiest haunts of your living indu•try.—(Cheers.) I trust 1 need not debar myself from the hope, that in the various courses of life opportunities may present themselves to me of showing an abiding sense of gratitude for your past favours.—( Cheers. ) And 1 cannot help declaring. though it Tray seem to bespeak a more poignant sense of the loss I have sustained, that I do not think I could4reconcile myself for the I resent to occupy any other seat or represent any other men.—(Loud cheering. ) And now, Gentlemen, that I have to take my leave of you, bear with me if I adopt for one moment a more solemn tone than I I might otherwise have th o ught i t fit to us e on any such occa sion ; but,l cannot refrain from putting up one fervid petition, that the Disposer of all events, the Giver of all good, may visit each and all of you with his choicest and most abundant bless ing?.--(Cheers.) May he store your garners with increase, and reward your industry with plenty ! Nay he scatter the seeds of order, o f t eniperance — ( Cheers)—and of domestic and public virtues far and wide amidst all j our dwellinga! slay he crown your hearth and home with peace, with comfort, with content, with• thanksg,ivings, and ever supply you with those who can, I will not say more faithfully, hut efficiently serve you.—(Cheers.) These, Gentlemen, are my latest ,aords. Thanks again to you. Fare yi u well, and all good he with von.

In pursuance of public notice, a meeting was held here last evening in the Large Room, King's Mead-square, for the purpose of affording the non-elector 3 of Bath an opportunity to agree to a protest against the present law of election. It will be remembered that an attempt was made by Colonel Napier, on the part of the non-electors, to obtain a hearing, anu enter a protest against the election, on the day that the present Membera were declared returned by the Mayor from the hustings. It will be remembered, also, the Colonel, in the discharge of what he conceived to he his duty, made several charges against the Whig Ministry, that the supporters of that Ministry did not like to hear these charges; that one of them had the temerity to give the Gallant Cclonel the lie, for which the Co lon.l gave him a hearty box in the tar ; that considerable con fusion arose ; and that, by the particular request of Mr. Roe buck, Colonel Napier declined going into the subject then, in timating that if a public meeting was called at any time he .hould be most happy to attend. With a desire to Li;ive the Gallant Colonel a fair and impar tial hearing, with a desire, also, to avail themselves of his instructions and advice at the present crisis, the non-electors invited him to attend their meeting, which he very readily did. The Chair was taken by Mr. Alderman Crisp. It will be impossible for me to give an outline of the pro ceedings. My object in writing is to speak of the effect pro duced, and I must say that it was beyond all comparison. An audience of working men—sober and intelligent—able in every way to discriminate between right and wrong—men who feel the.effects of the present exclusive system in the amount of taxes they have to pay, and the little control they have over those who direct the laying on of those taxes—men who know that we are on the eve of great and important changes, and who are anxious that these changes may be made conducive to the best interests of all classes of the community. Such men, addressed by the Gallant and Honourable Colonel Napier, on subjects in which they feel themselves to be deeply interested, listening with pleasure whilst he exposed and denounced the present artificial state of things—whilst he called upon them in a masterly, yet fervent and impassioned tone, to cultivate a feeling of horest independence; to unite their efforts with their fellow-subjects in other parts of kingdom, who are rising up with liberty in their hearts, and declaring, in opposition to the despots of the earth— God of our fathers, we will be free ! Every man present felt that the Colonel was actuated by a feeling of; patriotism, a desire only to promote their welfare; a feeling of reciprocity passed between him and them. Their minds continue glowing with gratitude, as they ever will to wards any one, who, stepping from the upper• ranks of life, prove by their actions that they desire to promote the interests of the working classes. The protest was agreed to, and is to be intrusted to Mr. Roebuck for presentation to the House of Commons. • Thus ended one of the most important meetings ever held in Rath, a full report of which, I trust, will be shortly pub lished.

Although the telegraph has announced that the emeute of Toulouse has been put down, the 'peal papers publish the fol lowing account of what is passing in that city " The military force called out yesterday (the Bth) was even greater than that employed on the previous evening. As early as seven, p.m., several flea Achim nts of cavalry covered place St. Etienne; pickets of infantry were stationed at the entr,nces into rues Boulbonne,'ltignepeis, Fermat, and Croix- Bat aignon. General St. Michel, the Commandant of the d:eision, gn hone r back and in full uniform, had proceeded to the Court of the Prefecture with a strong escort, Vete St. George's, an inter mediate point between allee Lafayette and the Hotel of the Prefecture, was provided with 2 4 00 horse-artillerymen, and all these divers detachments were headed by dok cprnip *Firs pr Police, wearing their official band; in fact, every thing seem ea to denote the fear entertained by the authorities of an expedi tion against M. Alahul. " Precautionary measures, equally great, were taken with respect to M. Plougoulm. Long before sunset all the avenues of allee Lafayette were closed against the public, who had been ' already prohibited all the evening from that promenade. A gnat many of the horse artillery secured the aike in every direction to prevent any citizen from entering, and the residence of our Attorney-General was guarded by 150 horse. " The police and troops having attempted in concert to dis perse the crowd between ten and eleven, and to eff,ct some arrests, a disturbance broke out simultaneously towards are Lafayette, when M. Plougeultn arrived at port St. Etienne, which is in the vicinity of the prefecture. "On this latter point two barricadoes were erected ; one preventing the approach of the troops by boulevard St. An toine, and the other cutting off any charge that might be made from allee St. Etienne ; moreover a lamp-chain intercepted the road joining porte Montauben to the faubourg. " The resistance of the people, owing to the assistance of the barricadees, lasted till midnight. About one o'clock, and s;hen the people were retiring, the military broke into and WA waste. M. Arnaud's grocery vvarehcute, Case Lasserre, Cafe klarconda, and the inn kept by M. Pincent, under pretext of stones having been thrown from them. " We cannot. state the amount of damage occasioned by this proceeding; but be it what it may, we deplore far more the misfortunes arising from a confl:ct in which several soldiers were struck, and a great many citizens wounded. It is really to be regretted that the obstinacy of M. Mahul is the cause that the national guard is not employed in the room of the military. We are sure, were this the c ase, the most satisfactory results would be obtained." RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—The following calcula tion of the last weekly returns of twenty-nine railways, 981 miles in length, will, we believe, be of interest :—Nun,ber of passengers on eighteen railways, 233,765, consequently the total for the week mu -t be above 400,000.

MENDELsSOIIN'S PIANOFORTE PLAYING.— Solidity, in which the organ-touch is given to the piano without the organ ponderosity ; spirit (witness his execution to the finale of the 1) minor Concerto) animating, but never intoxicating the ear ; expression, which, making every,tone sink deep, requires not the garnishinc , of trills and appogiaturi, or the aid of changes of times, are among its outward and salient characteristics ; but, within and beyond all these, though hard to be conveyed in words, there into be felt a mind clear and deep, an appreciation of character and form which refers to the inner spirit rather than to the out ward details ; the same which gives so exquisitely a southern character to the Barcarole and the Gondola tune in Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne '11 7 6&,. and its fresh, Ossianic, sea-wildness, to his overture to the Hebriden • Isles of Fingal") ; the same which enabled him, when little snore than a boy, in the happiest` picie r e - 4 descrip tive music of our time, to illustrate Shalispeare's ex'qui .he fairy scenes neither feebly nor unworthily. Exectt ion without grimace, fancy cheerful and excursive, but never morbid, and feeling under the control of a serene, not sluggish spirit—l can come no nearer pleasing my self in a character than by these words, which are still `'ar from doing justice to their subject. One word more, which is perhaps a halt-definition ; Mendlessohn's is eminently manly music, and loses effect, beyond that of almost any other of his contemporaries, when attempted female hands.

" Can it be justly said," he asks, " that . the Viceroy of Egypt is entitled to less vin dication than the Sultan, at a subsequent period, fir the wholesale destruction of the Janissaries at Constantinople?

" Education i n It a l y " is a fruitful topic, dexterously handled. The Reviewer justly re marks, •that . education in that country should have an essentially agricultural tendency, for that the general negligence of agriculture among the Italians, " tends to keep, the peasant in a state of absolute isolation." The following ob servation, however—the Reviewer is cursorily alluding to the character of the Englishman—is assuredly anything but correct :—" His rights,. his inalienable franchises, are his country; and wherever there_be liberty, he can feel equally at home." Not so. The genuine Englishman feels nowhere at home but in his own native land. Though he is a constant traveller, yet he never travels but to grumble, and to boast of the supe rior advantages of a residence in England. The very fogs are dearer to him than the sunniest skies that the south can show. In a word, John Bull is at heart essentially a domestic, fireside animal, and his love of locomotion is but a su perficial feeling which he can abandon or indulge in at will. " State of the Jews in Poland" is an exceedingly interesting paper. The Reviewer tells us' that proficiency in Talmudic learning constitutes a kind of aristocracy among the Jews, and that by its means a humble pedlar may ob tain the hand of the daughter of some rich Jewish banker. He adds that, in general, aris tocracy of birth is disregarded, except in the case of a descendant of Aaron. Walter Scott, it may be mentioned, has turned this fact to excellent account in his "Ivanhoe." We conclude with a spirited sketch of the personal appearance and dwelling of a modern Polish Jew : " Crossing the frontiers of Poland on the side of Ger many, we are struck by the Opt of a minus race, dis tinct in: every respect 'from the rest of the population, The flowing beards and long robes with hangin g sl eeves of the men, and their sharply marked features ; the raven black locks end eyes of the women, their towering head dresses and strange necklaces and arm-bands, present to us apicture which, like a solitary monument of Gothic architecture in seine modern city, carries our memory many, very many c e at ar i es b ac k, These tire the world. famed Polish Jews, They are the best-preserved main mies of the remotest time, The dirty appearance of the 'quarters which they inhabit, and the eagerness with which they are seen flocking wherever an occasion of gain without labour presents itself, if associated with the late disasters of Poland, will add another dark feature to her gloomy aspect . .

By Francis 117hishaw. Civil Engineer. Simphin, Marshall. and This work gives a detailed and judicious ac count of all the Railways in the United King dom, and is accompanied by numerous excellent plates. It commences with the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, and ends with the York and North Midland, comprising altogether an ac count of the most magnificent roads made since man knew the use .ot wheels, and the vast ad vantage derived from .speedy communication. When we read the work, and judge of the vast outlay when we consider the rapidity and ease of travelling, and the speedy communication which is ail'orded by this modern invention be tween the most distant parts of the empire, all the great roads of the Romans sink into insignificance. Putting the art of printing out of the question, perhaps no other instance could be given of the great superiority of the present age over that of our ancestors, including, of course, Romans, Saxons, Danes, and Normans. While they tra velled ten miles per hour, we now travel thirty ; and we have not the advantage only in the speed, but in the number of passengers and the goods conveyed by the countless trainB that, night and day, are LOW traversing the kingdom. Mr. Whishaw places all these great improvements in a clear point of view, points out the sums ex pended on these great undertakings, the speed of the trains of each railway, the fares, the number of passengers, and gives many other particulars, which are to be found in no other work. The following short introductory account of the London and Birmingham Railway, will afford a fair specimen of the book : Robert Stephenson is the name of the distinguished engineer under whose direction the vast anti difficult works of the London and Birmingham Railway have beet► so successfully brought to completion. This grand national undertakk; is now in full .operation, and . the average receipts per week amount to no less a suni than sixteen thousand pounds ! A new impulse was given to the railway system so soon as the important advantages developed by the great Liverpool experiment were made known to the enter• prising capitalists .of the kingdom. Hitherto, a line of little more than thirty miles in length was the only one on sshich the new syStena of locomotion had been fairly tried ; no sooner, however, was the experiment found to be successful, than the grand trunk-line between the two largest sea-ports in the kingdom wasiset on foot. The capital was speedily subscribed ; .fit , Acts of Parliament were obtained, although in the case of the 'London and Birmingham Railway,,not without considerable opposi tion, and the loss of one.year ; and now, . after only six years, London and Lancaster are united by railway on the one side of the island, and London and Darlington on the other. The important considerations of safety, expedition, and economy, have indeed been Very sufficiently proved as re gards the London and Birmingham Railway, both to the satisfaction of the public and of the British Government. The daily improvements making in the locomotive en gine may fairly lead us to expect even a greater average Teed than is at present attained; but, we must also anti cipate a considerable change for the better i n regar d to the regularity of tr a i ns in their arrival at i ntermed i ate stopping-pla ces . Of the details we cannot give any speeinien at present, but possibly we shall recur, to,the work, in order to show the vast labour be s t owe d o 1 these great undertakings, which form the most remarkable features of the present age. • ELECTIONEERING AT CIICIRCIL—The con gregation at one of the churches on the other side of the river were not a little astonished, last Sunday morning, to see it gentleman, who is equally well known on both sides of the Mersey, marching up the aisle with th: re d and blue election colours of Egerton ';oneumehe flaming on the front of his coat ; and they were still more astonished when, at thz•Closbbf the'sermon (which Was in behait'of the National School), the some Ontle man went about from pewto ew, " with a ll hi s blush ing honours thi c k upon him," to solicit contributions, both from Whigs and Tories, in behalf of the tebool.

There. is plenty of good foreign corn at this t , moment locked up in those famine-shops, the , bonding warehouses, which the merchants would be glad to sell at thirty-eight shillings a quarter. Befbre the key can be turned to let looSe this wheat, a tax Of 245. Sd. a quarter must be paid. Twenty-four shillings and eight pence a quarter is the tax which this very day is paid by the people upon their bread corn ! they now pay Sd. a quarter for wheat, which they might buy for 88s. in bond, at Liverpool ; the difference of 245. Sd. is the amount of the tax paid for mo nopoly. This is a tax of 40 per cent. upon the • daily bread of the people. Let us now see how this tax affects the different classes of bread con- I sowers, and first, the labouring. class. Workmen throughout the whole kingdom earn one with another, about ten shillings a week. In some places, as for instance the workmen of London, and the large cities, they earn much more ; in other parts, as, for example, the pea santry of *lreland and )evonshire, they earn much less: but, taking the average of the whole, it has been calculated by high authorities, that the working men of the British empire earn ten shillings a week each. It is estimated by the Hand-loom Inquiry Commissioners, in their able Report, that a working man's family consumes, on an average, five shillings' worth of bread every week. The tax of 40 per cent. which is now paid on bread, is just two shillings out of the five spent by all the working men being heads of families throughout the kingdom. Two shillings out of the ten a week earned by all the' working people of these realms are paid for the tax on their bread; two shillings in every ten, or twenty pounds in every hundred, are taken. from the wages of labour by the monopoly of corn ! In other words, the present -Corn-law imposes upon the whole of the labouring .class, an in come tax or poll tax of 'twenty per cent:' This is a truth so clear that nobody can deny it, in less he will deny that two and two make four. Let us next see how this tax affects the - other classes of society. The middle class man's family consumes no more bread than the family of the working plan; the nobleman's family eats actu ally less bread than the ploughman's. We will suppose, however, that all consume equal quan tities of bread. Let us then see what amount of income tax is levied upon the different classes by the present Corn-law. The working man earning ten shillings a week, or twenty-six pounds a year, pays, as we have seen, two shillings a week, or five pounds four shillings a year, being 20 per cent. of his income, for the tax on bread. Th e f am il y w i t h an in come of twenty shillings a week, or fifty-two pounds a year, pays also two shillings a week, or five pounds four shillings a year for the bread tax, being 10 per cent. upon its income.. The fa.mily with an income of 1041. pays the same amount of bread tax, being an income tax of five per cent., and so on, as by the following tabular view : Family's Income. Bread Tax.

A general ,meeting of the Members of the Royal Scottish Academy was held in the 'Royal Institution, on Friday, the 9th instant, for the purpose of expressing sympathy and condolence with the relatives of Sir David Wilkie, on the death of the illustrious artist. At the desire of the Academicans, then unanimously expressed, Mr. Allan,their President, has addressed a letter, expressive of their feelings, to Thomas 'Wilkie, Esq., the only surviving brother of the deceased. The following is a copy : 7 - . II Royal Scottish Academy, " Edinburgh, July 9, 1841. " Sir—Upon learning of the death of Sir David Wilkie, the members of the Royal Scottish Aca- 1 demy .of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, met under feelings of the deepest regret, in order that they might conjointly express their sincere sympathy with his bereaved relatives, and their sense of the great loss which society and the arts have sustained—a loss which must be felt to be alike a subject of national regret, and of grief to i those friends trom whom his acquirementsand vie- toes drew an ample Measure ofregard. But to such i friends it is a source of consolation and - pride, that although his demise has taken place at a period of life when much might yet have been added to what he has already done, the many productions of his genius have established his 1 fame on a foundation which at once ncures its perpetuity and its extent. 1 "• It is, therefore, with the greatest respect for the memory, •and admiration for the talents, of Sir David Wilkie, that the members of the Royal Scottish Academy desire to offer to you, and to Miss Wiikie, their unfeigned condolence.

FRENCH PREJUDICE.---I am often amused, and sometimes half-vexed, by witnessing the prejudices that still exist in France with regard to the English. These prejudices prevail in all ranks, and are, I am dis posed to think, incurable. 'Try extend to trivial as well as to more grave matters, and influence the opinions pro nounced on all subjects. An example of this prejudice oc curred a few weeks ago, when one of our most admired belles having arrived at Paris from London, her personal appearance was much canvassed. One person fund her too tall, another discovered that she had too much enbon point, and a third said her feet were much too large. A_ • Frenchman, when appealed to for his opinion, declared Elle est tres bier pour une Anglaise." I ought to add that there was no English person present when. he made this ungallant speech, which was repeated to me by a French lad y , 4 who laughed heartily a t his notion'.---.Lady Blessington Idler in France. SUERIFF COURT, LOCHWINNOCII. NON LIABILITY of A MINOII.—A. young man, verging on nojority, mho was qualifying himself for the important department of manager of a chemical concern, applied to Mr. Morton, then manager of Moorshiel Barytes Work, to get instructions for manufacturing of Barytes, and to dye green, yellow,• blue, &c. ; and for this im portant information he agreed, by a holograph letter, • to pay Mr. Illorton 61. Much attention .was bestowed fI him on the pupil, and having fully initiated him into all the secrets, and properly taught him all he was desirous to learn in various nice scientific departments, On applying for payment of the promised stipulated recompense, it was from time to time evaded, but not refused. Mr. Morton being compelled, from this un grateful and unhandsome conduct, to prosecute the pupil, he pleaded the legal privilege of minority as his only defence, while he admitted the employment, and being •taught. His father being also in Court, was ex amined and questioned respecting his knowledge of the transaction, and his son's getting the benefit sought by him.

CASE OF MACLEOD. The following resolution offered by Mr. Floyd on the 24th ult. was called for cons id erat i on Resolved,—" That the President of the United States he requested to inform this House whether any officer of the army of the United States has, since the 4th of March last, been directed to visit the State of New York for any purpose connected with the imprisonment or trial of Alexander M`Leod, and, if so, to communicate. to this house copies of the instructions to, and report of, such officer. • Mr. Floyd said it was the general impression that a high military officer had been dispatched by the Treasury Department to interfere in the trial. The belief had caused much excitement and indignation. Mr. Ingersol spoke for nearly two hours. He fell upon the letter of Mr. Webster to Mr. Fox, and affirmed that the positions assumed by the Secretary were grossly erroneou s , and that witho u t th e l east necessity he had capitulated to the British. Mr. Alford approved of the letter of Mr. Webster to the British Fox, and maintained that the former had not stepped aside an inch from the course commenced by Mr. Poinsett. lie thought Mr. Webster deserving of the appellation of " Well done thou good and faith ful servant of the Republic." Mr. Cushing asked Mr. Ingersol to look at the effects of bringing these great and delicate sub jests into the arena, while, at this moment, they are under the advisement of the Judiciary of New York—at this very hour, while this critical question is being carefully deliberated by the Judges of New York, the gentleman comes forward and makes it the subject of a deliberate premeditated party speech against the Admi nistration. The gentleman had talked about the capitula tion by Mr. Webster, but did he forget the conduct of Mr. Van Buren? hives true that Mr. Van Buren, on the burn ing of the Caroline, did make a demand on the British Go vernment for satisfaction. But after the demand had been made, it was suffered to sleep for three long years, until a new Administration came into power; when all at once, and by a spasmodic start, it was found out that the country had been insulted, and injured, and that full and ample atonement ought to be made. The hour of three p.m. having arrived, Mr. C. us pended his remarks, and the House adjourned.—New 'Yor.': Papers. The Canada Papers contain the proceedings in the new Parliament of the United Provinces. One of the debates had been particularly fiery and exciting. The 11cm. Jules Quesnel had moved an amendment, to the effect, that the Act of Re-union was not, in some of its details, acceptable to the subjects of French origin. Upon this amendment, which, as a matter of order, was first discussed, a highly fiery debate occurred. The motion was rejected by a large vote. The address re ported was, of course, the mere echo of the speech ; but Mr. Neilson moved another, containing a sort of protest against the Act of Union, as 'embodying grievances to Lower Canada, and containing features inconsistent with justice and the common rights of British subjects. It was under discussion when the accounts came away. RIOT AT HAWICK. At the polling at Hawick on Thursday, some disturbance took place, in consequence of the mob in caking the windows of the Tower Inn, and hustling and annoying the electors of both parties as they came forward to the polling booth. About thirty of the police of Edinburgh were sent out, for the purpose ofpreserving the peace, under the orders of Sergeant P. Mackay, and they wF re required by the Sheriff, to prevent the 111 P J from breaking the windows of' the inn. Th ey accord ingly proceeded to act under the orders of the Sheriff, but it was evident to the authorities that their single force could not put down the riot, and, accordingly, a 4 :tespatch was sent for a troop of the 4th Dragoon Guards, who were sta tioned about threg )niles from the town. The dragoons wQrti speedily brought, to Hawick, headed by the Marquis of Lothian, and, by their great coolness and good discipline, dis persed the mob without any injury being done to any one. Similar disturbances oce'ar.red on Friday afternoon, with rather mor-: aggre vated circututttitnees. As the E`'.'inburo po lice oeiociv were leaving file town, potties, Wick- bats, and other the omnibuses ' Tv. Lssiles, were thrown at and, had the ..nich the men were seated, - not been protected by th e d ra - P °-„q - it is probable that some of them would .nave been seriously hurt. The affray became so serious that the Sheriff considered it necessary to read the Riot Act, and to warn the people of their improper conduct. The dragoons were ordered to clear the streets, which th e y e ff ecte d • without any injury to the people, and no further disturbance took place.—Scotch Paper. HYDROPHOBIA. We quote the following strange story (for it does not appear like truth) from the Perth Advertiser : About a month ago a dog belonging to Mr. Fenwick, George-street, gave pretty -- strong symptoms of being in a rabid state, by biting three or four of its own spe cies, without anything like provocation, and 'immedi ately thereafter fastening on a horse belonging to James Rollo, a licensed carter in Brigend. 'the aggressor, as well as those he had attacked, with the exception of the' more noble animal, were drowned or other v.is?zikilled, with all convenient speed, •to save pro bable consequences. The horse (a fine stallion) was bit on .the upper lip, but the wound, which seemed trivial, soon healed, and was quickly forgotten. On the evening of Sabbath last, his owner, on going into the stab:e, found him in rather a feverish state, froth ing at the mouth, and perspiring copiously. This cir cumstance, however, did not at the time 'bring to mind any recollection of the injury done by the dog, as natural causes night account in some measure for these mani festations of excitement. On Monday morning Rollo rose about four o'clock, to cart a quantity of clothes to the North Inch for bleaching. On entering the stable, he was immediately struck by the horse, and on essa.ying to put on the harness, the enraged animal caught hold of his left shoulder with his teeth. By .dint of su perior strength and fortitude, however, he succeeded in extricating himself and adjusting the harness ; but no sooner had they cleared the stable door, when the infuriated animal again rushed upon its master—seized him by the arm, and, throwing him down, trainpled and tore at him alternately, and would have made him a mangled corpse in a short time; had not a house-car penter and a policeman run to his assistance, and, striking the maddened brute a blow on the head with a hammer, forced hint off the prostrate man. The horse was now yoked by the assistance of the carter's son, and the clothes taken to the Inch. On returning he was driven knee-deep into the river, but, though shoring no marked repugnance to water, be refused to Without taking off the harness, he was again placed in the stable. In about three hours afterwards, the young man, thinking the animal . would now be somewhat cooled, re-entered the stable, but found him wilder than ever—striking out furiously, and making every imaginable efihrt to bite. After great risk and exertions, however, he succeeded in taking off the har ness, With the exception of the collar. Throughout the day, every succeeding hour added to the inten sity of the animal's fury, and by evening his contor tions of rage and agony were absolutely terrific. By that time the door was strongly barricaded, in the fear he should make his escape. Two or three individuals, anxious to see the animal in the heat of his paroxysms, made way into the loft above him. The scene was appalling in the extreme. Below them was the infuriated brute, dimly seen through a cloud of steam fed by the fires that raged through and dis tended his nostrils. Every vein and muscle was fright fully swollen. Ile had broken his binding, torn his collar to tatters, and was kicking and stamping furiously through the stable. Now he would neigh, now heave groans of the deepest agony, then, shaking as with an ague-fit, would gather himself ap, and suddenly, with a scream, spring aloft, making the very house shake with his fall. Then he would groan again, or, gnashing his teeth, roll his eyes wildly and savagely around. He ever and anon tore with his covered vviti; teeth the flesh from his breast, would shake for a mo irnttl ment the quivering carrion, and then dash it from him, le poor as if he found relief in the intensity of his sufferings, The walls of the stable were now literally to be odrumf. froth and blood ; and in this dreadful state th i . e l continued till exhausted nature gave - way. • • brute died about two o'clock on the following On examination, the carter's arm was found to state, tht fully lacerated, and other parts of his body seriously rea ' m - i s :7(1 sooner than could jured.

The following is a comparative account of the bestowal of twose substantial boons, promotion and pecuniary re ward : s. 1 Commodore, from 2d to Ist class, increase per diem tl6, I Secretary t o di tto 1 Clerk t o Secretary 0 16 5 1 Command er to Cothmodore's Captain 16 0 13 Lieuten an t s , to b e Commanders, and ap pointed to ships on full pay I Lieutenant, from Junior to First .......... c o s si, 26 Mates to Lieutemoit's full pay, appoi .v 0 nted to ships, and Mlpernumeraries l . 7 5 Mates, to Lieutenant's half-pay 0 3 13 Command ors .t o le 9 5 Captains half-pay 9 Lieutenant s , to Commanthifs ditto U IA 6 17 6 .5 17 0 Total daily expense, exclusive of Master .s, Surgeons, and Pursers lO 11 11 From this account it will be sera that the navy .has obtained an increase of army rank to the following ex tent, viz.-1 brigadier gentoral (temporary), 14 lieute nant-colonels, 22 netjor, and 42 captains •(permanent.) The Leuteuant oulonels obtain the rank of colonel sifter having been posted three years, anti the whole of. the ranks nn increase of pay by-service and seiikrity. ' Thirteen Lieutenants have, it will have been seen i -beeti made CoMmandt rs and appointed to ships, - with rail in crease ti their pay, at the lowest calculation, of rm. p er. diem ea 41; and. had the 22 Lieutenants promote4lweii placed o t the 11,1 f-pay of Commanders, stiine - wouldfiavo • sacrificed 2s. 6d. per diem, but (A:m.6 would have tymy • lost Is. Gd. ; which, when it is remembered that co pay • officer; may live as they lik e , d ress as they like, an treside wherever it may be- most convenient to theta to reside, must be admitted to leave them no great cause of complaint. Let us see how the case stands with regard to the Marines employed in the same service. Captains of the Royal Marines have been rewarded by the brevet rank of MAjor, with an increase to their Nil pay of only 2s. per diem, with the contingency of losing 3s. per diem if placed on half-pay, as well as of deriving no benefit from their brevet rank of major when promoted. It (=mot surely be pretended that these advantages are by any means commensurate with those which have been con ferred on the sister branch of the service for the siune campaign. The officers of the Royal Marines, whilst they rejoice that their brethren in arms of the navy have had their due, cannot but feel that they have been most shamefully and unjustly used—au opinion which has re ceived confirmation n o t on ly f rom many Officers in the navy, but from several of those who have participated in the above-mentioned rewards. The sum stopped from the pay of Captains of Royal Marines (the only persons in the fleet who were called • upon to pay for them) for their daily. rations, would have given the brevet to all the . Captains . of that corps employed on the coast of Syria, and surely they are not less entitled to consideration than all the Captains, Com manders, First Lieutenants (with some others), and forty-two mates of the navy. have they performcd their duty less gallantly or less faithfully ? The Royal Marines form one-fourth cf the force on board a ship. The proportion in the Navy and Marines is in the ratio of twenty to one in favour of the former. Should there be, as appears inevitable an augmentation, of the corps, the s u b a l terns generally' (many of Munn have very hardly earned it) will obtain promotion, but the captains will d er i ve no b enefit from the increase, un less it includes an additlon' of fi e ld o ffi cers. The talal-174T1'54 terns employed in the late campaign in Syria are 1164,:„,ii eligible for bre vet rank ; but wh en sta ir a pp o intments . become vac an t, many will have, strong claims to be pointed to them.
