Lord PALMERSTON replied that the unsettled state t 7l, Syria, to which his Hon. Friend alluded, was rOally Co 4t which rendered the presence of a Consul in that t.ltry necessary. CL Sir C.

They must lay them up, or be utterly . ruined. To offer them for sale is out eti ie question. Of the ships and shares of ships that have t hit ; year been put up to auction, scarcely one in ten fount I a single bidder. Week after week we have advertise, 1: noble vessels to be disposed of ; and, in several cases, when the time of sale arrived, not a single indi vidual, except the auctioneer and solicitor, made his appear anae ! Can anyth lag show the depression of trade more forcibly than this ? To be possessed of property in coal vessels is, at this pr. %eat moment, a positive misfortune. " In , stead of deriving a I rofit from my vessels," said an extensive ' shipowner to us th e other \lay, lam obligt dto apply the money which I deri v e from other sources to make good their losses. The very cirri er of things is reversed. Reckonings are not now held :or tli e purpost of dividing the profit, but of making up the loss-1 aot of receiving the dividends, but of pay ing the advance; anti ' the largest owner, instead of being the luckiest man, is 'the- n lost unfortunate !

We will not copy from another part of The Sun the strong language used by Mr. COTIMN yesterday, at the meeting of the Anti• Corn-law League, but we earnestly recommend it to the consideration of our readers. Mr. Colp °`:i his a man of property, and a well-informed able write' 7 well al speaker. Under the title of " A Man ,. chester .lanufacturer" he has acquired extensive reputa tion. He is by temper and inclination, as well as habit, a reflecting, moderate, liberal man. He is one of the . middle classes, whose welfare is bound up with peace and order ; yet Mr. COBDEN exhorts the League to " take any, every step to firm from the Government jus tice for themselves and the people." He reqommends them - to "embarass the Government in every possible way." He says the more they embarass such a Govern ment the more they would fulfil their duty to themselves and their country ; keeping within the law, " whatever they could do to embarass the Government they were bound to do. They owed it no respect." " The Govern ment is based on corruption, and the offspring of vice, corruption, violence, intimidation, and bribery." He derided the notion of preserving the public credit at the expense of national suffering ; and he held up to repro bation tke money cusses in London, who had never gone beyond their counting-house doors to inquire if the statements of distress were true or not. Mr. COBDEN is not only all that we have described, he is a Member of Parliament, who will be called on in the House of Commons to defend his opinions, and who would forfeit by vio:ence and untruth the confidence of those who have made him their representative. To find such a man using such language, and to know that it meets the approbation of the numerous and powerful bodies with which he is associated, is one of the signs of the times which the public and prudent statesman ought not to overlook. At the meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League on Tuesday, at Manchester, Mr. Alderman BROOKS, in giving an account of the interview which the Deputa tion has had with Sir R. PEEL, said that " he was glad of the opportunity of telling Sir R. PEEL that he had become a Chartist." He had been so disgusted, it ap pears, by the conduct of the House of Commons, that he had joined the movement for Universal Suffrage. Such men as. Mr. COBDEN and Mr. Bnooas represent the bulk. of the middle classes in the manufacturing dis tricts, and their sentiments are an indication of the sen timents of thousands. _ . Men only respect and honour a Government for the protection it affords them, and the Government or Legis lature which inflicts impoverishment and ruin en them must be despised and hated. We do not wonder, there fore, at the manufacturers now turning against the Government. As Mr. COBDEN stated in the House Of Commons on Monday evening, there will soon be no middle classes in • the manufacturing districts to stand between the aristocracy and the • outraged people. The manufacturers and the shopkeepers will be ruined, or they will turn Chartists ; and in either case the democracy and the aristocracy will come into per sonal and fierce conflict. Let not the latter flatter themselves that this sari be advantageous to them. Though they should succeed by military force in sub duing the democracy, the attempt must be ruinous to their wealth and power. The union of all class:s in England, society being more closely knit together here by the authority of the constable's staff than it is in other countries by the pressure of military power, is the main source of our superiority as a nation ; break or banish the middle claSses—set the democracy and the.aristo. crazy in fierce array—require r.ri army in every town, to preserve peace and obedience—and the power of Eng land will dwindle below the point which is due to her geographical extent. She will then have the tnrbulence, without the vigour of a popular Constitution ; and will be worse off, till time has destroya the friction be tween liberty and arbitrary power, than the States of the Continent, which run smoothly, if slowly and con strainedly, in the well-worn channels of despotism. There is no person in the empire more cruelly libelled than her MAJESTY. _ls a measure required by the aris tocracy to keep out food and keep up rents, they go through a solemn farce, and declare that her MAJESTY — boor calumniated Ladyl—gives her assent to it. Is it necessary, in order that the Exchequer, drained by their extravagance, and shrunk and shrivelled for want of the supplies a prosperous trade would pour into it, should be filled by an Income-tax, her MAJESTY is pomp ously put forward, by those who should shield her from unpopularity, as consenting that her in come should be taxed, and as giving, at another stage, the Royal assent - to this terrible infliction on her people. We have endeavoured to rescue her MAJESTY from these foul libels, by explaining to our readers that her gracious name is usurped by her Mi nisters, and that what they and what the law, with one of its customary fictions —or, to use a better English word, one of its customary lies—calls the Royal assent, is nothing in the world but the assent of the oligarchs and monopoli,zts, who, by dint of bribery, corruption, and intimidation, have for the season taken possession of the functions of the Government. It is nothing more than the assent of Land, Church, Sugar, and Co., signified in the usurped name of the QUEEN by . these who, being her, and, for our sint our masters, are falsely called her Ministers. We find in the Votes of the House of Commons of the night before last, great reason to be thankful for having already been enabled to blunt the point of the libels which the Tory Ministers are continually heaping on the QUEEN. When the people are actually starving— when they dig up and beg rotten carrion for food— when those Ministers have refused them all aid and relief, ex ccpt that - which degrades them to 'mendicants, and makes them seem to hold their lives at the mercy of those who feed them, we find it asserted in the Votes that her MAJEST? has recommended a grant of money to enable - the opulent and easy classes meeting at Exeter Hall to enjoy the benefit of singing instruction. Her MAJESTY has given no such recommendation ; it is, in truth, only the recommendation of her Ministers. The Prime Minister, too, who denies all relief to: the people. in their distress, except his pitiable scheme of alms, was the man to present the petition to the House of Commons in favour of the singing classes, and to libel her MAJESTY by saying she recommended what, in the present circumstances of the country, is a most propos tk.rons and disgraceful scheme. We copy the passage from the Votes, and the reader will judge whether it be possible more cruelly to libel her MAJESTY, than to re present her, when her people ask for food, as recommend ing the appropriation of the public money to teach them singing : Vocal Music—Petition of pupils of the classes at Exeter Hall, under the sanction of the Committee of Council on Edu cation, for such an alteration in the terms of the annual grant for the promotion of education, as will enable the Committee of Council to appropriate a sufficient sum of money in aid of the expenses of conducting the classes now held in Exeter Hall, and towards the provision of a suitable building for these Schools (Queen's recommendation signified) ; to lie on the table. The cup of bitterness has been for the people some time brimmed, and it only wanted this mockery of their suffering in the name of .the QUEEN, to make it run over. We see by our correspondence that the propo sition has justly excited the indignation of the people. Admitting that the use of machinery throws persons out of employment, as asserted by the Pro-Corn-law party; can anything be more unjust tan for the Legis lature to the supply of food, and enhance its price, to those whom the progress of society has thrown out of employment ? The present use of such an arguMent by the Tories to account for the national distress, is entirely and wholly irrelevant to the Corn-law question; and it is only adopted, we believe, to divert the exertions of the League from the breach they have made in the Corn-laws, to resist a sham attack on'their own lines. If all which the Tories say of the effects of machinery be true, betwixt them and the effects of the Corn-law there is a striking difference. The use and .extension of machinery is not ordained by the Legislature—the Corn-law is ; for the effects of the former, therefore, the Legislature is not responsible, for the effects of the latter it is. Should the former really be as injurious to a class of the people as the irruption of the Europeans into America has been fatal to the Red men, the Legislature cannot help it. its duty is to protect all classes, and every individual, in the full possession of his property, and the free exercise of his rights. It is bound, there fore, equally to protect the owner Ofa self-acting mule in its free use as the owner of a distaff or a spade. If the exertions of the former should render the labour of the latter less useful or valuable to other persons, the Legis lature must regard it as he regards the blight which spares one man's field, and utterly destroys the crops of another. The Corn-law, however, is altogether the off spring of the law-maker, it would not exist ex cept for him, and for all its effects, ' even the most remote, for the effect of diminishing still more the value of that labour which machinery has partly superseded, he is responsible. No doubt, Sir R. PEEL meant, by adopting the vulgar argument of his party, to throw off from himself and the Legislature all responsibility for the existing distress. But that is far too widely diffused to permit of the ex planation. It pervades Ireland where there is no machi nery as well as England where it abounds ; it is felt in the agricultural districts us well as at Manchester; at Nottingham, where no improvement kas taken place in stocking-weaving, as well as at Bolton or Stockport ; in the Whitehaven veal trade, where no steamers are ern ployed, and in the Liverpool foreign and home trade, in which steamers abound. The wide diffusion of the dis tres.7, and its long continuance, completely disprove the opinion that it has been, caused by the use of improved machinery.,. 'Sir B. PEEL, in truth, knows that the use of machinery, though it may change the direetiOn of labour, always increases the amount of employment; and it is worse than uncandid in him to ascribe . the vast and general distress to the use of ma • chinery. He seeks, by such a futile argument, to throw on machinery the responsibility for the existing evils, which belongs to unjust legislation. Rightly conlidered, we are not sure that his conduct is not impious as well as unjust, for he ascribes the blame, due to his own mis chievOns legislation, to Nature, or GOD. LABEL WAFERS ON NEWSPAPERS.—A Correspondent asks us, in reference •to the paragraph which appeared an our paper yesterday, concerning postage being charged on a neWspaper fastened by a wafer with a few printed words on it, whether mottos impressed on seals, such as "Itepotidez vite," " All's well," "Be of good heart," "Strike for a good cause," "Aide toi, et le ciel t'aidera," will not. render a newspaper as liable to post age as a label wafer ? We cannot answer the question ; but the decision as to wafers should put persons on their guard not to seal up a newspaper and impress on it a motto of any kind. DUTCH PAPERS. THE HAGUE, JULY 11.--The session of the States- General was closed to-day by his Excellency the Mi nister of the Interior with the following speech:— " NOBLE AND MIGIITy LORDS— - - " The affairs which have been intrusted to your con sideration during this session arc now terminated. " Constantly relying on your readiness to co-operate in promoting the interest of the country, and aiming at the improvement of the several branches of the administra tion, the Government has successively laid before you some important projects of law. You have gladly given your assent to the intended marriage of her Royal High ness Princess Wilhelmina Maria Sophia Louisa of the Netherlands, to his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke Charles Alexander Augustin John, son of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe Wiemar Eirenach. " A law fixing the expenses of the Department of Fo reign Affairs, completed the Budget for this year and next. " The transfer of the register of mortgages effected he ron.. the instructions of the civil code.has been regulated in a satisfactory manner. " Provision is made for the wants of the home colonies for the current year. " The public credit has been suppopted by the pay ment of part of the foreign Syndicate. " The French law on the National office has been re placed by an originally Dutch law, anti another step has been taken in the consolidation of our national legislation." . (His Excellency then "mentioned several points of law which had not been agreed to by the Second Chamber, such as that on civil pensions, and that on the appli cation of the surplus revenue of the East India colonies.) He then added, " A considerable portion of the fresh code would have been laid before you during this session, had not the appointmeNt of a new Minister of Justice prevented its being completed in time. As the other affair has terminated, and the season is so far advanced, it I:as been thought that it would be best to defer this matter till the nest session. " After the important' political events of those latter times, fluctuation •of opinion has arisen, which in a sedate nation like ours, will gradually give way to a regular course of things, arid to a well-considered ad vance 'towards the common object. The preceding ses sion was the commencement of a new political era. The present session has been characterised, in the midst of the operations above alluded to, by the preparations of enactments, which are the result of our public laws. " Strong in the pursuit o f purposes, and in the inde fatigable zeal with whic h we de sire to promote the'wel fare of the country, we m a y look forward with confidence to t'4o future. " In the name of the Kling, I declare this ordinary session of the States-General closed," The Chamber then broke up. DUTCH FUND!..—ADISTERDAM; JULY 11.1 Monet. tile,.

LITERATURE. PUNCH. Vol. 11. London, 1842. There are some admirable wood-cuts in this vo lume ; those, in particular, which are in illustration of Punch's Almanac, are among the most humorous we have seen for many a long day. The variety, too, of the embellishments, is quite extraordinary ; and the ca ricature portraits of several eminent living individuals are remarkable for their resemblance to the originals, notwithstanding their grotesqueness and drollery.' As regards the literary portion of the volume, it is quite worthy to vie with the pictorial. Quizzical poems— neat satirical hits at the passing follies of the day— puns, anecdotes, and sketches of character in profu sion ;—some, or all, of these are to be found in almost every page of " Punch," which, thus recommended, is —as it deserves to be—a general favourite. BATTLES OF THE BRITISH NAVY. 2 Vols. Bally, London, 1842. These volumes, which are the production of Mr. Joseph All en , o f Greenwich Hospital, embrace a pe riod of upwards of eight hundred years, commencing, curiously enough, with the first siege of Acre in the time of the Crusades, when " King Richard's fleet was anchored off the port, and effectually prevented supplies from being thrown into the town, in the course of which duty it defeated a large fleet of the enemy ;" and terminating with the last siege and capture of Acre under the conduct of Commodore Napier, in the year 1840 ! The first naval engage ment of any consequence is recorded by Mr. Allen to have taken place in 1217, when " the rival fleets of France and England met in the straits of Dover. The French consisted of eighty large ships, while the English had fewer, but of a more warlike description. The fleet of the latter, therefore, assumed such a mode of attack, as to counteract the preponderancy of force against them. They manoeuvred to get to windward of the enemy, when, bearing down on them before the wind, they made terrible havoc of the French ships, by means of the iron beaks with which their vessels were fitted; they likewise made great slaughter with their archers. But what completed their victory was a quantity of quick-lime in powder that the English had on board, and which being cast into the air, was blown by the wind into the eyes of the French, and blinded them. The English gained a complete victory, and took and destroyed nearly the whole of the French ships." This unsophisticated mode of defeating an enemy at sea by throwing dust into his eyes, will amuse those who are familiar with the more modern victories of the British navy. It was not by powdering them with quicklime that we triumphed over the " Invincible Armada" of the Spaniards, and destroyed the French fleets at the Nile and Trafalgar ! During the whole extended period over which his researches range, Mr. Allen has not omitted one naval action of the slightest moment. The tact and diligence he has exhibited throughout his undertaking are truly praiseworthy ; names, dates, and localities are given with the most scru pulous accuracy ; and a uniform tone of moderation and impartiality is maintained, that tends greatly to enhance the value of the work. As books of re ference the volumes are invaluable ; they contain the the very pith and marrow of our best naval histories and chronicles ; and are embellished with not less than twenty-four portraits of our ablest naval com manders. We have no doubt that they will be taken under the patronage of the Admiralty, and obtain a place in the different seamen's libraries on board her Majesty's ships. We quote an anecdote illustra tive of the heroic .powers of endurance which an English sailor can exhibit, when in the discharge of his duty. The anecdote refers to an engagement be tween the American corvette, 'Wasp, Captain Blakeley, and the British gun-brig, Reindeer, Captain Manners : " Captain Manners who had been badly wounded in the calves of the legs, at the commencement of the action, nobly refused to quit the deck, but continued at his station, encouraging his crew by his heroic ex ample. Shortly after a canister-shot passed through both his thighs, and he fell on his knees, but quickly sprung up again, and, though bleeding profusely, refused to go below. By this time the musketry from the Wasp had caused such slaughter, that Captain Manners determined to board his opponent, and call ing to his crew to follow him, was in the act of ascend ing the main rigging of the Reindeer with that de sign, when two musket-balls from the main-top of the IVa3p, penetrated his skull, and came out be neath his chin. Placing one hand on his forehead, and .with the other convusively brandishing his sword, he exclaimed, Oh, God ! ' and dropped lifeless on the deck!" ENGLAND IN THE NINETEENTH CEN TURY. Part 7. How and Parsone, London, 1842. The account of Lzncashire, its scenery, antiquities, manufactories, Ste., is concluded in this Part, which is embellished with numerous appropriate illustra tions, and among others, with a view of the small, homely farm-house in Fish-lane, Blackburn, where the father of the present Sir Robert Peel was born. We quote the following anecdote respecting this ce lebrated Millionaire :—" When the first Sir Robert Peel lived in Fish-lane with his brother and parents, which was then a respectable farm-house, it was cus tomary for respectable yeomen to use pewter plates for dinner. Sir Robert, or his brother, sketched a I figure, or pattern, of some kind or other, upon one of their plates, and a thought struck him that he would try whether an impression could be made on calico with colour. At one end of the farm-building a young woman of the name of Elizabeth Milton kept a calendering machine, and he went into her house, and put the plate with colour in the figured part and some calico, through the machine, when it left an im prcssion ; such, we believe, was the origin of roller printing. on calico. This information is derived from the daughter of the said Elizabeth Milton, a Mrs. White, of Burnley." SOFTNESS. Three Vols. Saunders and Otley, London, 1842. There are one or two vigorously drawn charac ters in this tale, which is written throughout with spirit, though here and there the tone is somewhat too exaggerated. The third volume is the most entertain ing ; and the scene wherein a reek less, unprincipled couple; Mr. and Mrs. Meekes, administer a dose of laudanum to an invalid old woman, who they suspect knows too many of their secrets, and is likely to prove a dangerous enemy—this scene is described with much energy. The closing chapters of the story are ingeniously wrought up. MR.MULOCK'S LECTURE ON PAR LIAMENTARY SPEAKERS. The fifth of these dramatic and rhetorical lectures, given in alternate conjunction by Mr. Sheridan Knowles and Mr. Mulock, at Kensington, was delivered by the latter gentleman on Saturday, having for its subject the rise and progress of oratory in the Parliaments of the United Kingdom. Grand as was the outburst of dra inatic and poetic powers during the Elizabethan age, public speaking was but little in vogue, or rather, by broad hints from the Queen, was almost wholly sup pressed, as dangerous to the Government. Extempora neous oratory, indeed, in England, was neither attempted nor practised till the reign of Charles the First. Then it was that the Royalists and Republicans fought man fully on the stage of the House. Mr. Mulock, however, observed this peculiarity on referring to the records of ' those foregone days, that the speeches that were at all attoned to brilliancy were on the King's side. A fine sparkling, and courtly beauty, often reigned in these, while those of the puritanical party, were either dull and prosy, or rough and verbose. Falkland spoke with a fine tongue, elegantly full. Pym and Hampden, the best of the opposition body, were at their best, but strenuous and rugged. The first James, in the lec turer's opinion, though usually accounted an imbecile, was a King of lofty and generous views, and despite the quaintness of speech lie introduced, yet by the elevation of his statesman-like views, he nourished eloquence in no limited degree. He was the first to notice Ireland. But if debate began with Charles 1., it had a dreary blank • in his successor's of the same name : neither dramatist, poet, nor rhetorican flourished in this reign, save perchance Shaftesbury, who in. the House was a brilliant talker, but nothing more. Bolingbroke, though a model of extraordinary mind, was too much of a mite man to be an orator. He had no principle—no heart— the source from which all eloquence springs, a nd t o which the tongue is tributary. In the beginning of the Georges, Sir Robert Walpole and Pulteney appear, but no very radiant stars dawn till about the beginning of the third George's reign. Then broke a splendid period. Chatham stood up. The moral, mental, and physical qualities of the orator beamed around him. Majesty aggrandised his mind no less than his person. His country was at heart, and though the taint of selfishness has been fastened on him, yet when the nation was to be personified in himself, he rose superior to sordid views, and was champion to the magnificent dignity of his country—then he thundered in the Senate, and " ruled at will the fierce democracy." To the eloquence of this great man, the lecturer attributed the fructifying power about the manifestations of the period in the production of high speakers, considering it as the originative cause of much of the after-eli9uence of the day. Superbly they rose in rapid succession. Burke ! —a resplendent name on the roll of ages—who wielded a mastery over the records of the past—grasped the pre sent—and held "colloquy sublime" with the future. Fo: and Pitt ! the latter exhibiting astonishing prema turity of talent, and who, placed at the head of the Senate early, shone during his " perernfial premiership" in many a lustrous speech. Fox, his opponent, was rugged, but how powerful ! The former had been called forward to uphold an ancient and long-existing state of things ;. the latter was leader of a new order and system. Democracy and aristocracy did battle in their persons. Charles Fox, from the nature of the things lie advocated, was naturally the more original. He was tull of an insurrectionary spirit, which finely con trasted with the regulated grandeur of Pitt. Wyndham was a mystic, singular man, too conversational to be the orator. Then came Sheridan, full of heart. His powers of pleasantry were unrivalled. Jocoseness mingled w i t h his grandeur. One occasion, in the Hastings case, speaks volumes of his power. It was then that Pitt begged to adjourn the whole House—the entire body of the senators of the kingdom—lest while the white wand of the magician was waving over them, they sliculd be swayed by his unspeakable eloquence to a prejudiced (7ecision. Canning was the next—one who possessed the elements of the more perfect orator beyond any other, ancient or modern. As regarded ° his per son, aristocracy of mind beamed out in every feature. Clearness of thought characterised his every expression. Language was to him an intellectual vehicle for elegance and beauty ; words were the caskets for his gems of thought. ' Mr. Mnlock finally passed 'in review the ora tors of Ireland, and the characteristics of their style. These -were Grattan, with his bursts of impassioned power : Curran—versatile Curran—a very Protons in 'mental efforts, and whose forensic skill, even amid the dryness and dustiness of Courts, displayed true marvels of eloquence : Bushe and Plunkett—the former possess ing an exquisite suavity of speech, the latter marked by power. With regard to Scotland and Wales, in debate, the lecturer knex of no instances of which he could adduce orators: Winding up his lecture with anticipations on the eloquence of the future, Mr. Mulock considered that the grandest kind of oratory that was yet destined to ap pear, was that which might be termed Scripture oratory, oratory in which the deep feelings of humanity had yet to be expressed in the glories of that magnificent diction which pertained to Holy Writ. The Lecture was worthy of an audience tenfold the number that attended. MR. SHERIDAN KNOWLI4:S'S LECTURE ON " MACBETH." Mr. Knowles, who may be considered to be better read in Shakspeare than any rhetorical contemporary of the day, and whose style is so greatly impressed with the mark and signature of the master whom he follows, de livered himself the evening before yesterday in some eloquent strictures upon th e drama of Macbeth. He con sidered it unequalled for its bold opening. Other dramas often shut up four acts, before plot or construction was developed. Macbeth displayed it at once. The wierd and invisible witches hold high converse in the very first scene of him who, regarded by them, could be object of no slight solicitude. Unearthly spirits were those three Furies of Aschylus who, as Fuseli had pictured them—were " things to feel troubled at," —traffickers in things forbid abominations who have been " killing swine " and gathering from graves and human horrors. Mr. Knowles's sketch of Lady Macbeth was essentially true. Shakspeare had here grandly thought for himself, and struck out his own mighty and original character. Lady . Macbeth, though a being of human flesh and blood, was incarnated by an appalling fiend to whom those adjuncts of huma nity were subject. Elvin, Volumnia, Queen Catherine —in each Mrs. Siddons was great—but greatest she shone forth in this impersonation. • With fifty times less mannerism than her brother John, she had passion and talent insuperably above him. Imagine a body of 3,000 spectators listening with the stillness of the tomb to her utterances in the sleep-walk. Dreadful was that scene. You felt the tenaciousness of the spot which she endea voured to rub out—the scent of the blood was perceptible —while the sigh . issued from her bosom, as from an unfathomable depth of despair. One of Mr. Knowles's shrewder criticisms appeared in the following :—lt is in the scene of the last act that Macduff enters before Macbeth's castle, remarking on the build of the swallow, and the usual sweetness of air ordinarily found in spots marked by this circumstance. The insertion of this peaceful scene, Sir Joshuw Reynolds had observed, created what by artists was called " repose," and was in tended by its great author to have that effect. Mr. Knowles combated this idea. He showed, on the other hand, that he was, with his colleague in arms, arrived before the castle that kennelled the very monster of their hate, they came themselves active for vengeance, and, there fore, on the contrary,their feelings, in a state of excessive tension, were wrought up to that fine and acute species of sensitiveness which made - them more keenly than otherwise perceive the most indistinct peculiarities of the place. A number of excellencies with which Mr. Knowles's lecture was clustered, and which chiefly de pended upon readings of passages, conveying nice nota tions and subtle perceptions of character, would fain lead us to dwell upon them more at length but-fur the restric tions of our present space. There is likelihood, we are happy to hear, of these lectures being repeated in Ken nington, when, no doubt, on second delivery, they will receive that honour which is compatible with their worth. LYON'S SUBSCRIPTION SCUL LERS' MATCH. The annual match for Lyon's pur;;;f sovereigns, cud other prizes, amongst re gu l ar watermen, from West m'nster-bridge to Putney, took place yesterday after noon, and afforded an opportunity fir a display of skill su,ll as is rarely met with amongst so large a number of competitors. About a month since lots were drawn for the chance of rowing in this interesting match, and amongst others the two Doubledays were the successful candidates, but in consequence ofa match being made by Parish, to row the Newcastle-on-Tyne crew, on Satur day next, and these men, together with Coombes and ewell, forming that crew, the two former were com pelled to withdraw, and the men named to row to-day were therefore, as under : _ Charles Hill, white; George Campbell, blue; William Pcieock, green ; Thomas Brabant, yellow ; ~Vil linen MeteaT, pink ; John Phelps, red ; Robert Young, tri-colour. Half-past four was the time named for the start, and long before that time Westminster-bridge, ELshop's walk, and every place from which a view could be obtained, presented a good display of anxious spec tators, and at four o'clock the cutter boats belonging to the Guards, 'Westminster, Leander, King's College, St. George's, and other clubs, made their ap. pearance at the scene of action ; altogether, the muster on the river was most respectable. At the appointed time the wager men were as the* respective stations, and the start took place at twenty minutes to five, all the parties dashing off at excellent speed—White taking the lead to Vaux hall, which bridge he passed through half a boat's length in advance, closely followed by red, green being imme diately en his quarter; the other four boats being well to gether. The match at this time was particularly interest ing ; the wind was blowing fresh, in consequence of whieh white began to fall astern, and was passed by red and green, and closely pressed by blue. Green, off the Red house, in the shoot, passed red, and became, the first boat, and in that position arrived at Putney-bridge, closely followed by red. The match between whine (Charles Hill) and blue (George Campbell) was a most interesting one, the two boats not being half a length from each other from the Red House to Patney. The rowing was excellent throughout, and the men arrived in the following order :—Pocock, first ' • Phelps, second ; Hill, third ; Campbell, fourth ; Metcalf, fifth ; Young. sixth ; and Brabant last. The wind blew very fresh at Chelsea Reach, and a boat, rowed by a gentle man, was filled with water and sunk, the amateur being picked up by a cutter passing. DR. REID ON VENTILATION. Dr. Reid, last evening, at Exeter-hall, took up the subject of Ventilation. He demonstrated that precisely as the human lungs, by one medium, inhaled a pure air, and by another ejected th., impure,- so the grand princi ple necessary to be observed in ventilating large fabrics or buildings, was in a simultaneous manner to permit by some well-devised measure the admission and dernission of the air in its good and distempered states. A model of the House of Commons, as ventilated by Dr. Reid, was exhibited, and its mode of ventilative action explained. It appears to be treated as a piece of apparatus, through which, by a series of contrivances, the air is admitted and discharged as circumstances require. The conside rations attendant upon these were shown to be many and involved ; sometimes a body of air was needed for a full gathering of 400 or 500 members, all seated for perhaps several hours in the same chamber. A varied quantity was again required to suit the contingencies of those times when fluctuations took place on a division, or again to compete with atmospheric changes when sunshine was operating, or the chill of the night-season. Several circumstances of ill-faVour, indeed, attended the Yo^- tilation of the house. From the neighbourhood n which it was situated, a variety of causes acted upon the salubrity of the air, causit.,, ,, its degeneration ; one in stance alone was apparent in the case of soot, 200,000 par ticles of which were often found deposited over the veil of gauze in a single night. In this case, as in all others in which ventilation was concerned, the slowness or velocity of the air in motion was pre-eminently to be considered. Thus, that which in the open air at 65 was • pleasant and agreeable, passiog at the rate of one foot across the system, was perfectly unbearable when it sped by at the rate of thirty or forty feet in a hurricane. Again the various habitudes, diets, and •lothing of individuals were all matters to be considered. Some persons with whom the lecturer was acquainted in the city were in a state of comfort at a temperature of 50 and 52 ; others at 70 ; while some actually complained of cold at a maximum of 84. Dr. Reid's illustration of the method of ventilation of the House of Commons, which he demonstrated by making a current of smoke pass, in the stead of air, through the model-vaults and air -chamber, and so on through the body of the house, from which the air, rendered impure by inhalation found vent and dismissal in the tall shaft erected for that purpose, was skilfully represented. Other remarks, interspersed throughdut the lecture, upon the triple means whereby movements of air may be ef fected, viz., by heat, mechanical, or electrical powers, so as to answer the designs of ventilation, evinced the lec turer to be no less a sound practical than theoretical master of his science. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at Claremont yesterday afternoon, from her residence, Cla rence House, St. James's.

Sir 11. Jenner Fust gave judgment on the part of their Lordships, that the sentence of the Court below was rightly founded, and must be affirmed with the costs of the appeal. EMPLOYMENT OF PAUPERS—CHORLTON UNION.— Some time ago, the Poor-law guardians of the union of Chorlton, near Manchester, determined to try the experiment of employing the able•bodied poor applying for relief in re claiming and cultivating a portion of waste laud, by means of spade husbandry. For this purpose, they applied to Sir Thomas Joseph de Trafford, of Trafferd Park : for pet : mission to reclaim a part of the moss, or bog land on his estate, and he immediately in the most liberal manner, gave them permission to use for that purpose, free from rent, a considerable part of Trafford Moss, situate about a mile from Stretford. It is now upwards of two years since the experiment was commenced, and in that time nine statute acres and a half of land have been thoroughly drained, heavily marled, and worked by the paupers of the Union, and are at the present time covered with crops of wheat, potatoes, and turnips, which are not to be surpassed on the best managed ' farms, in the best cultivated county in England.—Leeds Times. A German journal gives the following account of the export and import trade of the port of Stockholm : " In 1821 the exports of merchandise of every kind amounted in value to 12,161,000 rix dollars. In 1840 the amount was 20,437,000 rix dollars. In 1821 the imports were 11,143,000 rix dollars ; and in 1840 they were 18,308,000 rix-dollars." "The finances of Sweden are in a most flourishing state." EXCLUSION OF FOOD. Liverpool, 24th June, 1842. My Lord,—The depressed state of the markets for foreign sugar induces us to apply to your Lordship, in the hope you may open to us a new channel for this article, by permitting its, importation for agricultural purposes, under such regulations as her Majesty's Government may deem necessary to prevent it being applied to other uses than the fattening of caittle and manure. We know that sugar can be most advantageous) y used for fattening pork, to which it imparts a finer and More delicate flavour than the usual mode of feeding; we are also led to believe that from the known properties of sugar, it may be turned to good account as a useful and profitable manure. One greatobjection to its being tried on an extensve scale has been the great cost, but we now learn since the introduction of nitrate of soda, which sells at 201. per ton, and the Guano manure, which is selling at 161. per ton, this objection has been removed, inasmuch as foreign sugar may now be obtained for less cost thou nitrate of soda or Guano, say at from 125 to lss, per cwt.. or about one penny halfpenny per pound. That your Lordship may be perfectly satisfied there is no fiction or exaggeration in these prices, we state we have now at anchor, in the port of Falmouth, a cargo of about 300 tons of Brazil sugar to our consignment, of fairquality, which we have this day sold at 14s. 6d. per cwt. bill of lading weight, deliverable at any port in the United King dom, or on the Continent beeween HambuTh and Harre. We state further that we daily expect another cargo of better quality to arrive at Plymouth, and this we tender to your Lordship at Iss. per cwt., or 151. per ton. These facts will, we think, remure all doubts as to price. We refrain entirely from entering into the merits of the question as regards the policy of admitting foreign sugar for the consumption of the British - people, seet'llg her Majesty's Government have postponed the further consideration of the subject until a future day, and we trust that, as we can clearly demonstrate the admission of foreign sugar for agricultural purposes will in no Wise be prejudicial to our colonial interests, you will be pleased to concede our request, under such regulations as may be deemed necessary to protect the revenue from fraud or evasion of the duties, which might otherwise be levied. In conclusion, my Lord, we cannot refrain from ex pressing a hope the day is not far distant when foreign sugars may be admitted for the free use of the British public (allisrding at the same time ample protection to . our colonies) instead of our supplicating to hare them brought in for the more ignoble purposes of fattening cattle, or as tillage to enrich the the land. We have the honour to remain, my Lord, your Lord ship's most obedient humble servant.. (Signed) JOHN B. MOORE, and CO. To the Right lion. the Earl of Ripon &e. &c. President of the Board of Trade. Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade.. Whitehall, 30th June, 1842. - • Gentlemen,—ln reply to your application of the 24th instant, addressed to the Earl of Ripon, suggestiog that foreign sugar should be allowed to be imported for agri cultural purposes, and for fattening cattle, under such regulations as her Majesty's Government may be phased to adopt ; I arti directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council of Trade to acquaint you, th* their Lordships cannot recommend the adoption of any such partial admission of foreign sugar. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient server*. ID. J. MACGREGOR. Messrs. J. B. Moore and Co., Liverpool UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON, SOMERSET-HOUSE.

In the case of a disputed will, presenting how ever no features of public interest, which is 110 W befor the Paris Tribunal. the following interesting account was given of the testator, a French officer. M. Rauh, who was made prisoner at tho passage of the Beresinii, w as sent to Siberia. A letter which he wrote from thence to his relations in France, complaining of Ole cruelty. of this treatment, was stopped at the Russian Post-office, and laid before the Emperor. Instead sif aggravating his condition, it became the foundation of his fortune. Alexander sent for him to St. Petersbuggli‘ and took him under his protection. M. Rault es tablished a great commercial house for French wines, and in twenty years was able to return to his own country, with a fortune of 800,000 E, wed died lately, leaving it among his relations, some of whom are small farmers in Brittany. The Journal de Maine-et-Loire (Angers) states that r on the Ist instant, five soldiers and three gendarmes were conducting a refractory recruit, when at Mo , zstoirae, a score of teasants, who were lying in ambush, suddenly fired on them.
