Into the general question of free trade, but he considered that it was a system at variance with the habits and character of the people of this country. It was utterly impossible to be applied in this country, which had sprung up and flou rished under a protective and proh bitory system. He be. lieved that the step which had been taken by the present Government was only the first step to the destruction of that system under which the country had flourished. But he believed that the time would come when no man would dare to mention the name of free-trade. He could not ad mire the course which had been taken by the parties in another place. It was a kind of servility to a Minister, and they acted with boldness, and made assertions supported by the mere ipse dinit of a Minister whom they considered in fallible. He believed that the course taken by that Minister would have the effect of destroying that administration; but it was not this that he regretted—( Loud laughter)—but the evil consequences which would result from the country being under such a Government.—(Loud laughter.) It would be a great delusion to suppose that the new tariff was really popular in the country. The tariff was popular in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as he had been informed by a friend thoroughly conversant with the matter, because a nume rous party there believed that it would lead to a dissolution of society. that was the opinion avowed by Mr. F. O'Connor, who said that he had nothing to change in the new tariff, and that he believed that the disappointment which would follow its enactment would throw thousands of parties into the ranks of the Chartists. He ( Earl Stanhope) entreated and conjured their Lordships to deliberate and pause before they adopted a measure which would infallibly accelerate the dangers that were rapidly approaching.—(H ear , h ear .) H e e ntreate d of them to respect the rights of the labouring classes, which they could not disregard without injustice, and he would venture to add, in those times, without peril. He maintained that a long-continued distress, which could he traced to the acts of the Legislature, was a sufficient ground for complaining of the present state of our legislation ; and fur ther, that it justified the cry for a change in the Constitution, if no means were taken to remedy the evil. If this tariff were adopted and brought, as he believed it would bring, ruin upon large portions of the working classes, he was convinced there would soon be raised an irresistible cry throughout the land for Universal Suffrage. He felt so deeply the importance of the question—he was so confident, that if they adopted the pro posed measure, they would accelerate the approaching revolu tion, that he thought it his duty again to conjure their Lord ships not to sanction the great changes then under their con. sideration. He should, therefore, move, that instead of being read a second time then, the Bill should be read a second time that day six months; and however small might be the number of those who should coincide with him, he should certainly divide the House on the subject. The Duke "of RICHMOND said, that however much he might differ from his Noble Friend with respect to some portions of the speech he had just delivered, he should feel it his duty to vote with him. He could not approve of a measure which would so greatly unsettle existing interests as the new tariff. His Noble Friend at the head of the Board of Trade had attempted to show this no large importation of cattle could be expected from other entries under the proposed measure ; but if that were the case why had his Noble Friend introduced a plan calculated needlessly to excite so much alarm, and to create such extensive changes in our commercial system ? Again, he confessed, that he saw with great suspicion that the Government measure was supported by all the advocates of free trade in the other House, and by the enemies of the aristocracy. He disapproved of those prin ciples of free trade, because he believed that the British farmer, heavily burdened as lie was with peculiar taxes, could not compete with the farmers of foreign countries. disgraceful partiality, as in the case of Lord CARDIGAN, it is right for the House of Commons to bring the Horse Guards to a sense of its duty; but it is not the business of the House of Commons so to interfere with the government of the army, or to inquire, on every rumoured military offence, whether the Horse Guards has brought the offender to a court-martial. If Col. DUNDAS had gone drunk on parade, would Lord WORSLRY have thought it necessary to ask whether the Horse Guards meant to dismiss him the service ? We think not ; and also thinking that the House of Commons has already a great deal more work to do than it can properly perform, we deprecate the un necessary interference by the House--as this obvi ously was, because the Horse Guards has done its duty—with the executive authorities. There is another aspect of this affair which is not very creditable. Colonel DUNDAS did not befuol himself at a public dinner, at which reporters were, present, so that his conduct was necessarily exposed. The language was used, we believe, at a dinner of the Caledonian Hunt, which is in no sense a public meeting. At private parties it is desirable to checl all disrespectful and insolent language ; but we regret to see that which transpires at such a convivial meeting, made a matter of public investigation and public punishment. It has a tendency to beget a system of espionnage, to encourage tattle and tale bearing, and we have some doubts both of the pro priety of ever reporting what may occur at such meetings, and ever making ,it a subject of punish ment. It breaks in on confidence, and will make men reserved. Even gentlemen find too many means of annoying each other, and we therefore shall be slow to encourage exuberant loyalty in seeking its grati fication by holding up to public censure what is said after dinner. When such conversation is brought before the military authorities, they cannot avoid entertaining it ; but the act of bringing it under their notice is very questionable.

Now te What cause, except to the increase of price, could they attribute this di m i nu ti on i n t h e con• lh atl MPtiOn of meat in Paris ?

It was rather singular to hear some ultra-Liberal, or even Radical, Members of the House of Commons giving their assent last night to the passing of the Collieries Bill, under the expectation that it would be 7,500,217 BILL TO PROMOTE THE DRAIN AGE OF LANDS IN IRELAND. This Bill is to be read a second time in the House of Lords on Friday evening. We were induced to believe that the great landed proprietors in that House would have paused before they granted to a Board of Commis sioners the extraordinary powers they are enabled to exercise under this Bill over property in Ireland. Any person who can obtain the consent of two- thirds of the proprietors of any lands requiring drainage, may invoke the aid of the Commissioners, and put the extensive machinery of the Bill into operation. The Commissioners are, therefore, enabled to employ engineers, surveyors, clerks, collectors, receivers, and other officers at a yearly salary, or such wages as they shall think fit, and to charge the lands improved, and all other lands within the distance of one mile of such improved lands, belong ing to the same owner, with the entire of the expense and, if any sum so charged, or any interest in respect thereof, be not paid within three months after the time appointed for such payment, then they may enter upon the lands, and appoint a receiver, and even mortgage such lands without the consent of the owner, for the sum so agreed thereon, with interest. They have the power to determine the increased rent which is to be payable by the proprietors, in respect of an expenditure of which they can have no previous knowledge, and which is alto gether beyond their control. They are enabled, also, to assess such amount as thq may think fit for the main tenance of the works, to settle all differences or disputes between parties interested, and to adjudicate thereon ; to punish persons refusing to give evidence before them by tine, and to make bye-laws which shall be of equal force as the Act itself, and impose fines for their infringement. We were under the impression that the large powers which were given to the Shannon Commissioners had proved anything but palatable to the owners of property within the district which has been placed under their control ; and that they were not likely to be drawn into a precedent. But this Bill proves we were mistaken, and that Sir Robert. Peel's assurances that private enter prise should be encouraged in Ireland to undertake works of public improvement, as in this country, is to be taken with some grains of allowance. Most assuredly no better method could be adopted to stifle private enterprise in any country than to appoint a Board of paid Commis sioners, the tenure of whose offices depend upon their getting something to do in public matters, and whose in terest it is to repress all private exertion in the same channel, which would obviously interfere with their own functions. The inland navigation of Ireland h as not yet recovered from the effects of the mismanagement of public boards, and such as are at present in a healthy state, owe their regeneration to the invigorating influ ence of private companies, who naturally attend to their own business in the most efficient and the most economi Sumner Maine, of Pembroke College, who was educated at Christ's Hospital.

Mr. Clark, of Trinity (2), and Mr. Druce, of Peterhouse, were the other prizemen. After this followed the Installation Ode, written by the Rev.

Did not deny the charge then, because ho believes the letter was written before. modified by the House of Lords. Like Con- DETT, they seemed inclined to thank GOD we have such a body. The fact is, that the phi lanthropic zeal of Lord ASHLEY and his friends, and the fear of those who are not fanatical in the cause of spurious humanity lest they should be accused of thwarting the most benevolent of projects, have caused a Bill to be hurried through the House of Commons which will do a great deal of mischief. Lord ASHLEY'S feelings will be gratified at the ex pense of the people he wishes to serve, and those who believe that the Bill will do mischief wanted the cou rage seriously to oppose it. We cannot praise them for shunning the performance of a supposed unpopular duty, and throwing it exclusively on the Lords. He found that while the tariff was likely, in most'of its provi sions, injuriously to affect the interests of the British farmer, no concession was made to our agriculturists except in the single article of a particular species of manure. He repeated that he should, upon these grounds, vote with his Noble Friend (Earl Stanhope), although he did not approve of the course he had taken of going to a division, because he was sure it could only show the smallness of the numbers of those opposed to the Go vernment. The Marquis of CL ANRICARDE said that he approve: , of the Government measure, mainly because he hoped it would be a stepping-stone to further changes. He did not, he confessed, set much value upon the measure considered in itself. On the contrary, he thought that it was impossible for a Government to adopt anything like free-trade principles in a manner more likely to render those principles distasteful to the middle classes in this country than they had done in the new tariff. The present tariff would put the English artisan in a disadvan tageous position, whereas, by 'a more effectual carrying out of its principles, which must inevitably follow—( Hear, hear)_. he might have been benefited. One article, which was a very important element of manufacture, tallow, had never been men tioned by the Noble Lord, and on that he found the duty was still excessive. It was an article in which it was very desirable to establish a trade, as it gave mu-h employment to their ship ping. It was monstrous to tell the artisan, while his food was left at a high price, that he derived any benefit from the reduc tion of duty on raw material, while he was exposed to foreign competition. Everything that tended to introduce food into the country was of importance in the present season of distress. For this reason he objected to the rate of duty on cocoa; much had been said of the reduction of the duty on coffee, but desirable as this article might be as a beverage, there was much more nourishment in cocoa; therefore, some attention to such articles as this in the tariff was most desirable, and he regretted that the sound principles laid down by his Noble Friend had not been more fully carried out. The duty on foreign cocoa was 6d. a lb., that on the produce of British Colonies was 2d. ; the duty was therefore prohibitive on foreign cocoa, and this was the great fault of the tariff, that it went out of its way to establish an oppressive scale of differential duties. He should, however, vote for this Bill, as approving of the principles on which it was founded. It was also a different question as to how far the Government deserved the credit of having takes the initiative, and they had also been chargeable with some in consistency for the obloquy they had thrown on the Report of the Import Duties' Committee, which they now cited as an authority. In conclusion he hoped her Majesty s Ministers would go on in the course they had begun, and notwithstanding the present Parliament was called a Parliament of land-holders, they would be found pursuing the path of commercial reform, and that next year he should find them prepared to propose a just and extensive reduction of the sugar duties. The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL vindicated his consistency on this question, stating that he should honestly oppose the Government when he differed from them. He objected esPe cially to the timber duties under the tariff, in which the prin ciple of protection to the colonies had been forgotten. The duty was lessened, but the advantage was given in too great a degree to the timber of the Baltic, and he had reason to appre hend that many of the Canadian timber merchants would find great difficulty in maintaining their ground. They should re collect that their colonial timber was paid for in British manu factures, while the timber they imported from the Baltic would be of necessity paid for is gold. The greater employment of British, shipping was also a consideration, and a reason why the differential duties ought to be in favour of the produce of their colonies. He had also an objection to the reduction of duty on cattle and pigs which would reduce the importation of pigs from Ireland ; his pig was the only thing on which the Irish peasant depended for the payment of his rent, and his market would be destroyed if they allowed bacon and cured pork to be brought in from America. Ireland depended entirely upon the produce of her agriculture for support, and if the price of the agricultural produce were re duced, she would be rendered incapable of consuming English ; manufactures, and this would increase the distress in the Eng lish manufacturing districts. Lord MONTEAGLE would vote in favour of the Bill, and with his Noble Friend; but if ever there was a speech calcu lated to show that the Bill was utterly worthless, it was the speech of his Noble Friend.—(Cheers.) If no good were to arise to the consumer, from the proposed alterations in the duty on cattle, the subject ought not to have been meddled with. The argument of the Noble Lord ought to have carried him much further. It ought to have carried him back to what he admitted was the original principle on which customs' duties ought to be imposed, namely, for the purposes of re venue, and of revenue only. He thought great disap pointment must arise to those who had been told that in consequence of the alterations in the tariff they would obtain a full equivalent for the imposition of the Income-tax. He should like to know where the saving to the consumer was to come from. The whole reduction of duties effected by the tariff was 1,300,0001. How it was possible, under any circum• stances, that the loss of revenue on the one hand could be equi valent to 3,300,0001., the estimated amount of the propel ty tax, he could not unerstand.—( Cheers. ) With the exception of timber they had net touched upon any of the great articles of consumption. He thought it world be better to employ their surplus revenue in such a manner as to increase their re • venue rather than to sink it entirely. It was curious when the duty on Canadian timber was reduced to nothing to hear the Noble Lord complaining of the reduction of the duty on Baltic timber. If there were no necessity fur any duty on timber for revenue, would the Noble Earl impose a duty on foreign timber ? • The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL—Yes. Lord MONTEAGLE—Then the Noble Earl would im pose a duty on good timber merely to force the people of England to use bad —(Cheers.) That was not the way in which colonies ought to be protested. The colonial timber trade was increasing, and 'had increased during the last four years. It had been progressing. It was a great mistake to imagine that protection was required for that trade. There was a great difference between reducing the duty on Canadian timber, and giving it away entirely. The late Mr. Deacon Hume stated that by a good regulation of the timber trade a good million might be raised, without raising the price to the consumer. They were therefore throwing away a million lavishly, and leaving the raw material of two of the most important manufactures burdened. Were it acting wisely to do this? They might have relieved wool and cotton. With regard to wool, orders were given to France to be executed in consequence of the heavy duty in this country. On the expel t duties it gave away uselessly a large amount of taxation which might have been applied to the relief of the suffering manu facturers. He alluded to the speeches which had been made elsewhere by the Ministers in defence of the tariff with the highest admiration, for it was impossible to lay down tho doc trines of free trade in a more unqualified manner, and the appli cation of those principles to the fullest extent would be ulti mately asked for. He would not allude to the Corn••laws fur• ther than to observe that the tariff provided for the duties on every article except tea, grain, sugar, and molasses. Why did it not provide for the duties on corn? Because the princi ple of the Corn Bill was diametrically opposed to the principle of the tariff. Why was not sugar dealt with ? It must be dealt with at no distant time, and must be • dealt with by making a considerable reduction of the duty on foreign sugar. (Hear, hear.) He did not' despair of seeing the Government bringing forward 'a Suga,-Bill at no distant period.—(Hear, hear.) The original tariff showed a most curious exhibition of discriminatory duties; there were 128 articles, which were not produced in our colonies in which dis criminatory duties had been imposed. What could be more absurd than the discriminatory duties which had been re tained—the deriminatory duty upon eggs for example? With regard to the duty upon metals and ores, he rejoiced to think that the measure he had introduced some time since had pre cluded this measure of the Government. The coal duty as originally proposed would have annihilated the trade, and even lessened as it was, he doubted the policy of imposing such a duty. If it were imposed for the purpose of employing foreign manufactures it would fail in its object. That was not the way to deal with foreign ma nufactures. With respect to tobacco, lie objected to the at tempt to raise a new interest by placing a discriminatory duty upon East India tobacco. The: e was too much of fondness for a discriminatory duty in the Bill to make it a wise one—and it was not wise to open the field of competition against the artisan, while at the same time it did not give to him a free trade in food. It was beginning legislation at the wrong end; as, however, the measure was an advance to wards right principles he should vote in favour of it. Lord COLCHESTER supported the Bill merely as a classi fication of duties; and not as an approximation towards free trade. The discriminatory duties he considered the most valuable part of the Bill. With regard to the duty on Canadian timber, he thought Canada had no right to complain. If the reduction of the duty on copper ores would do no injury to Cornwall, he should rejoice to see it take place, as it would be of great be nefit to the shipping interest. The replied. His N o bl e F r i en d h a d no t done proposed alteration in th e timbe r d u tie s . justice Earl o t f RlPONtthe If there were any duties that required revision on account of their absurdity they were the timber duties—( Hear, hear). — and if they omitted to make the necessary alterations no one would be more severe upon them than his Noble Friend. The greater part of the timber imported from New Brunswick was in no respect inferior to the Baltic timber, and was much cheaper. He thought the value of the reduction of the timber itit's to the ednffUnler had been much undervalued. He thought ELECTION COMMITTEE. SOUTHAMPTON. The Cominittee met at the usual hour, the Hon. J. S. Wortley in the Chair. Mr. Marty n, who was partly examined yesterday, was re called—Mr. Mabson and Mr. Ball were on the Finance Com mittee ; does not know that Mr. J. Hunt was one, or Mr. Mackay ; paid no money at the election except by checks upon Maddison's Bank; drew a check on the 4th or sth of July for 3001. ; remained for two or three days after the election in Southampton ; drew a check for 300/. on the 9th ; was not applied to after the election ; did not pay any money after; the election of 1837 was conducted in the same way as the election of 1841. To the COMMITTEE—Cannot say why the check for the first 3001. was in Lord Bruce's name; probably it was a mistake of the banker's clerk; had enough of his own to attend to without attending to Lord Bruce's account. John Marsh was then called and examined.—Resides at Newport; a person whom he did not know came to him on Saturday, and brought him to Southampton, and from thence to London; he dropped him near Regent's park • he did not say w h a t hi s o bj ec t was; w i tness under stood that he came to him in case he (witness) had not money of his own to bring him ; he slept at the Castle, Mr. Luce's house ; he lived with Mr. Carter, of South ampton ; he left Mr. Carter about four weeks ago ; re collects the last election for Southampton ; he slept at 43, High- s t ree t ; k nows a person named Redwards; Red wards lived i n th e same h ouse ; a gentleman calld and asked for Redwards ; does not recollect if Redwards Caine down ; would not know the person who called ; does not know if it was Mr. Mackay ; had no conversa tion with any person relative to the election since he came to London ; was speaking to a large person with a mackintosh coat yesterday ; it was not with reference to the election ; does not say what it was about. Henry Bray, a clerk in Mr. Adderley's bank, was then called and ex amined—Messrs. Hutchins and Mangles had an account with the bank ; the account was kept in the name of Mr. and Admiral Gifford, the Vice-Chair man, and Chairman of the Whig Committee ; (the wit ness handed in a copy of the account.) They had in structions to honour the orders of Chaplin, Tucker, and Lankaster ; Messrs. Hutchins and Mangles did not keep any other account with the bank. The total amount was 2,2501. There being no other witnesses in attendance, the Committee suggested that Mr. Mack a y m i g ht b e exa mined. Mr. Mackay was not in attendance when called for, and a messenger was sent to seek him. In the meantime Mr. BAKER said that, perhaps, the Committee would express an opinion upon the absence of Mr. Luce, which would induce the other 'Arty to assist him in discovering where he was. Mr. HEARN assured the Committee that he did not know where Mr. Luce was, and he would be most anxious to have him produced, as his absence might be more likely to impress the Committee unfavourably than any evidence which he could give. The CuanimaN said that certainly an unfavourable impression was created in the minds of the Committee by the absence of Mr. Luce, but as it was stated that he was in France they had no jurisdiction. On the motion of Sir J. HANKER the room was cleared, Mr. Baker and Mr. Hearn were called in, and after some time the parties were admitted, when Mr.Abrahams was called and examined by Mr. HEARN —Resides in Southampton, where he carries on the busi ness.of a jeweller. Was one of the returning-officer's at the last election ; is Sheriff at present. Knows Mr. J. Wren. Mr. Wren never told him a person of the name of Whitmarsh would not vote for less than 201. Mr. Wren told him of a conversation between him and .Whitmarsh ; he said that Whitm ars h was i n th e Whi g Committee-room, and that he would not vote unless he got money. Witness expressed his surprise, and said that he had nothing to do with the election. He never authorised Mr. Wren to pay a single farthing to Whit marsh, Callan, Twyford, or any other person. He never signed a book, authorising Wren to pay any money, or to promise him any. He declared solemnly that he never signed the "A. Abrahams" in the memoran dum-book. The signature is a base fabrication ; it is not even like his. Knows Mr. Thomas Twyford ; he is a tenant of witness's. Witness never paid him a farthing. Was not a member of Lord Bruce's and Mr. Alartyn's Committee. Never went to the Dolphin from the time he got the writ, except once, when he went to see Mr. Moodie ; was there two or three times previous. Was never in a committee•room up stairs in the Dolphin. Had a conversation with Wren after the elec tion ; it was opposite his (witness's) door ; it might be a month or two after the election. On that occasion Mr. Wren told him that some agent of Messrs. Hutchins and Mangles had been with him in the drawing-room of Mr. Woulfe, and that he was offered 300/. for giving what information he knew respecting the Conservative party at Southampton. Does not know whether he said it was Mr. Baker. Witness made no observations upon it. Captain Owen was present at that conversation. Was summoned to attend the Election Committee ; was not examined. He is assignee of Messrs. Sheppard and Drew, the late landlords of the " Star." He brought an action against Messrs. Mangles and Hutchins for 4531. as assignee. Mr. Sharpe, about four days previous to the'action, came to him and offered hi m 1501. Wit ness said that if he were offered 3001. he would be then happy to meet Mr. Sharpe ; he then went away, and came again to witness, and offered 200 L, which he (wit. ness) refused. Mr. Sharpe then shook his fist at him, and said " You will proceed at your, peril." The action was tried at Guildhall, and the full amount was reco vered. That was about the beginning of May. Never heard of any imputation against him with respect to Twyford till after the action. Mr. Mad dison is his banker ; he draws in the course of the year upon Mr. Maddison, to the amount of be tween 10,0001. and 20,0001. The check of the 19th of April is in his handwriting, except the name " John Wren." All the checks contain his genuine signature ; the bill of exchange handed to him is the one he dis counted for Wren. He charges discount according to the name on the bill. He signs almost all the checks for the Corporation ; it is therefore easy for persons to have documents with his name. He discounted two or three bills for Wren. The two checks handed to him are in his handwritin g . He never saw the memoran d um t ill this moment. He never heard of it till after the action against Hutchins and Mangles. Cross-examined by Mr. BAKER—Never heard any thing to Mr. Wren's prejudice prior to this time. The conversation he had with him in presence of Captain Owen surprised him very much. Gave money to Mr. Wren besides the checks he discounted. Mr. Wren wrote to him and stated that he was objector, and was out of pocket. Witness interfered for him, and he paid him 101. ; that was befor e th e e l ect i on, s')me weeks. He paid the money out of his own pocket. He had a memorandum of it. It was not to secure Mr. Wren's services ; he desired Mr. Wren to go to the Committee. Mr. James Sharpe is a respectable man, living in Southampton. Attributes the threats lie held out to matters connected w i t h this' electiOn ; it may be in reference to the result of the action.

There is, therefore, an under current of legisla lation at work, of which the public only now see the effects, which sets a law in one direction while it ap pears to be going in another. Do the Ministers, like the Liberals, look to the Lords to throw out or modify the Bill ? Two of them voted some days ago for delay, and they ought not to sanction a measure which interferes, as this does, with the supply of labour to the collieries, and perhaps provides for the gradual extinction of the hardy race of men who work in the bowels of the earth. To tolerate that occupation, to get familiar with its dangers before there is any knowledge of their extent, it is indispensable that colliers should begin to learn their business very young. Mr. W ATTWOOD showed that trappers became colliers ; if Lord ASHLEY, therefore, prevents young boys from entering the collieries, there is some risk that he will destroy that race of men. COURT OF ALDERMAN. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of bu siness. THE VENTILATION OF THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. Sir M. WOOD brought up the report of the Gaol Com mittee, respecting the ventilation of the Sessions House in the Old Bailey. It stated that the Committee had held several meetings upon the subject of the ventilation of the building by Dr. Reid, arid had examined the Clerk of the Court, and other gentlemen who had had frequent opportunities of estimating the value of the plan of ventilation - that the witnesses had strongly approved of the plan, and that the Committee recommended the continuance of it. The Comm' also resolved, out of compliment to the present Lord Mayor, who is a shipowner, that a survey of the River should he made on the 21st, 22d, and 23d of July. APPOINTMENT OF THE COMMIS- SIONERS OF THE INCOME-TAX. The Ministers are to blame for allowing such a measure to receive the assent of the House without a deliberate inquiry. Had it concerned the imposition of a duty of a farthing a yard on tape, it would have been examined by a Committee ; as Yesterday there was a numerous meeting of the Land tax Commissioners (amongst whom were several of the County Magistrates) at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell green, to choose Commissioners for the general purposes of the Property-tax. The following Commissioners for*the Bloomsbury dis trict were appointed to meet at the Vestry-rooms, Golden-square, at 12 o'clock on Friday next;—Sir John Jacob Hansler, of Tavistock-square ; James Mansfield, Esq., John-street, Bedford-row ; W. Tooke, Esq., Bed ford-row; James D. Main, Old Chapel-row, Kentish Town ; Thomas Weeding, Esq., Mecklenburgh-square ; Edward Baynes, Esq., of Cambridge-terrace ; and Edw. P. Clowser, Esq., of New-End, Hampstead. For Holborn Division at St. Giles's Vestry-rooms, on Friday, at 12 o'clock ; and for Finsbury at the Sessions house, on Saturday, at 11 o'clock. The Commissioners were T. L. Donaldson, Esq., Hart=street ; John Gorton, Esq., Charlotte-street ; Samuel Mills, Esq., Russell square ; Samuel Page, Esq., Holborn ; W. H. Savage, Esq., Somers-street ; N. IVinsland, Esq., Great Russell street ; James Whisker, Esq., Upper Bedford-place ; Richard Carpenter, Esq., 61 Myoidleton-square ; W. Lovell, Esq., Valentine Knight, Esq., John Wilks, Esq., of Finsbury-square, &c. &c. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and Mr. Burchell, and the meeting separated. cal manner. _ The despotic, taxing, peremptory presentment powers of the Shannon Act, are made general by this Bill, and without reference to the rate-payers at special sessions, while the unconstitutional control over land, landlord, and tenant is unfitted - to a free country. As this Drainage Bill has not been printed since the 20th May last, though vastly changed since in the Commons, and may, therefore be said to be little understood, and, as it stands for the second reading in the Lards on F r id ay next, we think it r i g ht t o l et the Irish public know its nature without further delay. it only concerned some three or four hundred thousand of the working classes, it may be carried through the House slap dash. The Ministers have promised it their support, but they, probably, are thankful, like the Radicals, that there is a House of .orris to stop this piece of hasty legislation. It is Lot honourable, however, either to them or to the House of Commons, that they pass an imperfect mea. sure, in the expectation that the Lords will correc ieir errors. CAMBRIDGE INSTALLATION. SUNDAY, JULY 3.—This day from an early hour the town presented a very gay and festive appearance. Independently of the distinguished visitors already arrived, and most of whom had come in the previous night, thousands of persons of both sexes, the number of the fair ones predominating, flocked in from the surrounding districts, all eager to se e k a s p o t w h ere anything was to be seen. Th e order of the day, as a matter of course, was of a sacred character, and St. Mary's, Kiug's, and Trinity, a 3 those who know Cambridge might expect, were the chief points of attraction. His Grace the Chancellor attended morning service at St. Mary's, on which occasion the Rev. Professor Whewell, the Master of Trinity, preached a very eloquent sermon. At the afternoon service in the same church his Royal High. ness the Duke of Chmbridge was present in the gallery called " the Throne." On the left of his Royal Highness sat the Lord Chancellor, his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury ; the Bishops of Winchester, Carlisle, and Bangor, sat on his right. The space behind was occupied by the heads of Colleges and the Doctors in their scarlet robes, the whole forming a very grand and _imposing appearance. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of London. His Grace the Chancellor attented Divine service in the evening, after dinner, in the chapel of his own College (St. John's), which was superbly fitted up for the occasion. There was a grand dinner party , in the hall of Trinity Col lege in the evening, to meet his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, who also attended] during the day the service at King's, and was at Trinity College Chapel in the evening, after dinner. NEW MUSIC. THE NATIONAL PSALMIST, by Crzarles Dan- Tunes, Chants, Responses, A nt h ems, &c. Parts Dan vers consisting of O r i g i na l Psalm and IlYmn IV., and V. London : Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. This work progresses with great spirit, and will, we have no doubt, be in the hands of every organist ere long. The new numbers are exceedingly good, the selection showing great judgment. Those by the modern writers, are beautiful ; one by Dr. Men delssohn, in the minor key, alto two by Gauntlett, and several by the Rev. IV. H. Havergall. We cannot speak too highly of the compositions of this amateur. Would that our generally unmusical clergy would follow his example, and if denied the gift of musical invention, would at least take more interest in the better, performance of the psalmody, and not reject music as a part of a gentle man's education. We might then perhaps exclude from our churches the terrible screaming of the hundreds of infant voices, for the more devotional and harmonious singers of a well-trained choir, by which an inducement might be given to the congre gation to join in this be'autiful part of our service. We know that some of the.best works on the theory of music have been written by churchmen, and that formerly the musical part of the service was entirely conducted by them. If now proper advantage be taken of the wonderful improvement made by Mr. Hullah in his instruction to the schoolmasters, by those who have it so m uc h i n t h e i r power , we shall at last have some hopes of hearing both new and old psalm tunes sung with the real parts and proper voices—giving an effect positively, with very few ex ceptions, unknown, and almost disbelieved. In the introduction of fresh matter in this work we admire the care with which the fine old compositions are treated. We congratulate Mr. Hackett on his ability in bringing out the work, and wish him success. STOPPAGE OF MILLS AT mANCHESTER.—DISe. CHARGE OF MECHANICS.—In addition to the gloomy re port of the state of trade at Manchester, there is in store a mass of calamity and distress for a larger number of operatives, who will be thrown out of employment this day, and en Saturday, the 16th instant, than per haps were ever deprived of work in the same period. It is now ascertained that the entire machinery in the extensive mill ,occupied by Mr. Richard Roberts will all cease to be worked on Saturday (this day), and that the Hanover mills will be in the same position either to-day or next Saturday. That a large spinning and weaving establishment in OXford-road wtil cause four hundred looms to be laid up, and of course spinning machinery to correspond ; that the well-known firm of Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, and Co., the celebrated machine and locomotive engine makers, have discharged and have given notice to between two and three hundred hands that their services will not be required after the ensuing week. Should, therefore, two of these concerns cease work- MONDAY.—The arrival of his Grace the Duke of Welling ton was announced at. half-past ten. His Grace was escorted into town by nearly 200 mounted gentlemen, consisting prin cipally of the Earl of Delawares tenantry. First came this cavalcade, and immediately after it the fine band of the First Life Guards. His Grace was robed in the scarlet costume of a Doctor of Civil Law. The plaudits by which his Grace was hailed along the line of streets were kept up intermittingly, and he bowed with evident satisfaction to the numerous and en thusiastic groups by whom he was welcomed. His Grace alighted at Trinity-gate, and having made a short stay at the Lodge he proceeded to the Chancellor's levee at St. John's. THE SENATE HOUSE. At ten o'clock the Vice. Chancellor arrived, accompanied by the different masters and heads of Colleges. The ladies were on either side, right and left, in the body of the Senate House, in a gallery erected for their accommodation under the or chestra. The more distinguished of the fair visitors occugied places on the platform on either side of the Chancellor's throne, their gay and beautiful dresses forming a pleasing contrast to the dark academic dress of the Masters of Arts, the scarlet costumes of the Doctors, and the gorgeous purple and gold of the noblemen. At a quarter past twelve it was announced that his Grace the Chancellor was on his way to the Senate House, and the Vice-Chancellor, attended by the Heads of Colleges, Esquire Bedells, Proctors, &c., proceeded down the centre of the building to meet him at the chief entrance. The cheering when his Grace appeared, and as lie proceeded to take his seat upon the throne, was almost deafening. Next to his Grace the Chancellor walked his Grace the Duke of Wellington. Then came his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, fol lowed by the Vice-Chancellor of the University, the Lord Chancellor, Duke of Buccleuch, the Marquises of Bute, Exeter, and Douro, the Earls of Denbigh and Brownlow, all of whom, upon the Chancellor taking his seat upon the throne, pro. ceeded to the places, on either side of his Grace, allotted to onthe trot is in T Dukehe' mediate r of right, Wellington ado and his Lord d Lyn d h u rst Royal anHighness a stood f Buccleuch on his left. ing altogether, and the remaining two curtail their pro ductions to the extent reported, there will be no fewer than 1,500 additional hands, to say nothing of the num bers of women and children depending on the heads of families, who will be involved in the calamity. There need not a word be said to prove how the distress of the country is extending, and extending too among a class of men who have hitherto absolutely felt nothing, either in the reduction of wages, or in the want of employment, viz., the mechanics engaged in the making of locomotive engines; and if such a firm as that in question feels it necessary to discharge so great a body of the higher grade of mechanics—a firm that undoubtedly will have orders if any are to be had—what must be the ruin and stagnation on the eve of overtaking second and third rate establishments in that line? A FORETASTE OF THE INCOME-TAX IN LIVER.- have bequeathed to the country in t h e shape of an Income taxPOOL—The first fruits of the le g acy which the Tories have been already tasted by certain parties amongst us. The tax will speedily have every one in its meshes, but the first victims here have been the holders of Dock Bonds—a species of property less obnoxious, certainly, to such an impost than almost any other that could be named; still, the unmerciful pressure•of the screw in the case of their dividends is only a foretaste of what every small tradesman, hard-working clerk, and others less capable of bleeding, will have to endure. The Govern ment, it seems, deducted from the dividend half a year's income to begin with, although the first quarter is only due this day, July 5 ; next, in cases where the fractional parts were three-eighths of a penny, they took a half penny, and where a party held bonds at four and four and a half per cent., they took them separately, for the purpose of getting the fractions on each ! This is shaving close with a vengeance. The amount of the tax was deducted on all dividends, however small, and to the parties a certificate of appeal to the Commissioners was given, for the benefit of such of the recipients as could prove that their incomes do not amount to 150/. per annum. And this will be the course followed in all similar cases.—Liverpool Times.

Shortly after one o'clock the public orator commenced re citing his oration, which was, as usual on such occasions, an eulogium on the newly-created Chancellor and a few of the chief personages present. The address took an hour and a half to deliver, and was throughout listened to with the utmost attention. The ceremony of conferring honorary degrees on such of the great personages present as had not previously been honoured with this distinction was then proceeded with. The Town Council presented the following congratulatory Address " TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS ADOLPHUS FREDERIC rUKE OF CAMBRIDGE, KNIGHT pr THE GARTER ♦ND FIELD • MARSHAL. We, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Cambridge, beg leave most respectfully to address your Royal Highness with the expressions of our unfeigned pleasure and gratification at your Royal Highness's visit to this distin guished seat of learning. This pleasure is enhanced by the consideration of your Royal Highness's title being derived from the town of which we are residents. We feel it to be a mark of honourable distinction conferred on our ancient borough. nut greater from the rank of the person invested with that title than from the virtues and moral worth that adorns the character of its possessor ; and our earnest prayer is, that your Royal High ness may, through the blessing of Providence, long continue to enjoy and add lustre to it in your own person, and that there may never be wanting one of your illustrious descendants to perpetuate it for generations to come." To which his Royal Highness returned a gracious answer. TUESDAY, JuLv s. —This day was occupied in conferring Doctors' degrees, hearing the recital of the Prize Poems, and the performance of the Installation Ode.

The revenue last quarter and the revenue last year were not flourishing. Because it did not in crease, Sir R. PEEL has had recourse to an Income tax. The revenue accounts for the present quarter, therefore, which will be found in another part of our paper, are not calculated to give satisfaction to the Government and the public. The decrease in the Customs on the quarter is 426,3951.; the increase . on the Excise is 94,7881.; on Stamps, 17,558/. ; on Taxes, 28,543/. ; on the Post office, 35,000/. ; and on Miscellaneous, 195,522/. ; Total, 371,4111. This total, however, is 54,9841. less than the decrease of the Customs, and this sum shows the total decrease of the ordi nary revenuefor the quarter. The extraordinary re venue has increased 28,5571., showing a total decrease of the income in the quarter of 26,4271. The total income for the year, including ordinary and extraor dinary revenue, is 45,337,4081., and 665,1751. more than last year. ' But it. includes a large sum paid in last quarter of Sycee silver, and we presume that the increase in the miscellaneous revenue for this quarter, 195,5221., comes from a similar source. The sugar duties appear to have yielded this year upwards of 900,0001. more than last year. Remembering these circumstances, and remembering that last year the revenue was deficient, and had not answered the ex pectations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, we conclude that the increase in this year is no proof that the revenue is, as it ought to be with an increasing population, in a state of progressive augmentation. It would be wrong, however, not to notice that the great decrease in the Customs this quarter, is pro bably owing to the uncertainty and change introduced by the tariff, which have prevented business, to a con siderable extent, while it was in progress. We may expect, therefore, that the next quarter, notwithstand ing the diminished duties on some articles then in operation, will show an increase in the Customs almost equalling the decrease in the present quarter. On the whole, certainly the revenue has not suffered so much as we might have expected from the distress which prevails among the people. A remark was made at the late meeting at Leeds, which may serve to explain this. It was said that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer must not assume an increase in the revenue to be a sign of prosperity, because a great number of the people had been obliged to give up the consump tion of meat, a non-exciseable article, and substitute for it tea, coffee, and sugar, which pay Customs and Excise duties. Such a circumstance, probably, serves to explain the present state of the revenue, in conjunc tion with the distressed condition of the people. The Executive Government has taken up the con duct of Colonel DUNDAS in a proper spirit. Sir 11. HARDINGE stated last night in the House of Com mons that the Colonel had failed to absolve himself of the charge of having spoken disrespectfully of her MAJESTY, that he had been dismissed from the situa tion of one of her MAJESTY'S Aides-de-Camp, removed from the command of the 83d Regiment, and placed on half-pay. That seems perfectly proper. A servant of her MAJESTY spoke disrespectfully of her, and his superiors have punished him for his offence. Colo nel Dinums, may, we presume, demand to be tried by a Court Martial if he deems himself unjustly treated; and as it is a good general rule not to dismiss, and certainly not to punish, an officer without such an investigation, unless he ac quiesce in the punishment as a merciful proceeding, we will cheerfully back the Colonel's demand, if he make it. At present, the matter reflects no credit on him, whatever it mu do to the Horse Guards. The decision of the Government does not alter our opinion as to the impropriety of the Legislature med dling with the suhect. If an officer complain to the House of Commons of the conduct of the Hcrie Guards, or if that authority refuse to do justice to an individual if it notoriously display a 4_,S 4 e.Ta 1p X '3 a. 4!) vO% ; tV •Ze*** :* 11W, 51 4 " tilt ,S mt.
