HANOVER, OCT. 22.—We are sorry to say that the indisposition of his Majesty the King continues, with short interruptions, and that the intended visit to the Duke of Brunswick, for a hunting party, at Blanken burg, is given up, as well as the journey to Rattins kischen. As the frequent returns of indisposition for some weeks past have prevented his Majesty from giving audience, he has not been able to receive a number of citizens who intend to offer their congra tulations to his Majesty on the approaching marriage of the Crown Prince, and who, it is said, have in vain s ought an a u di ence for some weeks past. The King rides out now and then in a closely covered carriage, Whereas he was used to ride on horseback every day, "en in the most unfavourable weather. ST.

This is an outline of the plot :—Mr. Dabster (Mr. Keeley) is invited to visit Bangalore Hall, the seat of Col. Curry (Mr. W. Bennett), and then and there to marry Curry's daughter Fanny (Mrs. Stirling). She (desirous of escaping her un seen intended), having beheld one she fancies she could love, concerts a scheme with Sally (Mrs. Selby), that when Dabster arrives she may appear before him as Tom, her cousin, an Eton boy. Dabster arrives during Curry's absence, and is greeted by Tom, who talks of the delights of shooting, spars with him, &c. At this juncture a letter arrives from Capt. Popham (Mr. C. Mathews), announcing his intention of passing a few days at Bangalore Hall, as the friend of Mr. Dab ster. The latter proposes to the Eton boy, Tom, to put himself into petticoats, and represent Miss Fanny, to revenge a similar hoax played upon him (Dabster) by Popham. The latter arrives, is introduced to Fanny Curry, whom Dabster verily belives is his male cousin in female attire, and woos to his heart's content. The return of the Colonel is announced, whereupon Captain Popham retires. A double hoax now ensues;. Popham returns as Fanny, sings a bu f fo air, faints in Dabster's arms, and n ear ly kills him in a galopade. The real Fanny appears once more en homme, and, as Tom, the ' Eton Boy," demands satisfaction of Dabster for dancing with his (Tom's) beloved ; he urges Dabster toga duel ; the latter con sents, takes two swords from the wall, and is about to slay the simulated Etonian, when Popham, still in feminine attire, rushes f or th, an d b ea t s Dabster to his heart's content. Curry returns—Dabster of course refuses to marry such a termagent—all is ex plained; and the Captain and Fanny of course are made happy. Though there is a general antipathy to women in breeches, and men in :petticoats, it entirely disappeared on this occasion, for the acting elicited continuous laughter, and the piece was announced for repetition amidst general applause. • DEATH OF ALLAN CUNNINGHAM.—We regret to announce the sudden and unexpected decease of the above distinguished artist and poet, which took place at twenty-five minutes past eleven on Saturday evening, at his late residence, No. 27, Lower Belgrave place, Pimlico. Mr. Cunningham was in his usual state of health on Thursday last. He was absent from home during some part of the day, and retired to rest quite well in the evening. Shortly after six o'clock on Friday morning, Mrs. Cunningham dis covered him in a state of insensibility, and the medical attendant of the family, Mr. Bloxsome, of Ebury street, was sent for. On that gentleman's arrival he at once pronounced Mr. Cunningham to be labouring under apoplexy. The deceased never regained con sciousness, and died without pain. It is scarcely eleven months since the deceased's friend and patron, Sir Francis Chantrey, died under very similar cir cumstances. It will be recollected that Mr. Cun ningham was appointed executor and manager by that lamented artist. As a mark of respect the shutters in Lady Chantrey's residence (29, Lower Belgrave place) were closed yesterday. The name of the de ceased has long been familiar to the literary world. Mr. Cunningham was the son of humble parents, and born in Scotland in 1786. After receiving an ordi nary school education, he was apprenticed to a stone mason, and followed that occupation for several years. His poetical taste, which was early developed, attra c t e d the notice and patronage of Sir Walter Scott, and he was already favourably known as an author when he was intrusted by Sir Francis Chantrey with the management of his extensive statuary establishment. Mr. Cunningham's principal works are, " Sir Mar maduke Maxwell"—" The Mermaid of Galloway"— " Life of Paul Jones"—Life of Robert Burns '— " Lives of the British Architects, Painters, and Sculptors," in the " Family Library," and several minor volumes of_poetry. MARYLEBONE V ESTRY.—On Saturday the Vestry again took into consideration the Report of the Com mittee relative to the erection of a monument to the memory of the Scotch Reformers of 1793-4. Mr. Salmon moved the confirmation of the minute. A discussion of some length ensued, in the course of which the character of the Scotch Reformers was assailed and vindicated by the several speakers. On a divison there appeared—For the confirmation of the Report, 18—Against it, 13—Majority, 5 in favour of the erection of the monument. As at present arranged, the Court will leave Wind sor for Brighton on Tuesday week. The period of departure had been originally fixed for next Tuesday, but the prevalence of fever at Brighton has necessarily delayed the departure, which, we need scarcely add, will, in all likelihood, be further postponed, should the sanatory state of Brighton render the postpone ment necessary.—Observer. AMERICAN PORK.—The salted American pork, lately introduced by the operation of the new tariff at 4d. per lb., has been bought up with avidity by the working classes, and we have been informed that the more recent importations are of a very superior qua lity.—Bristol Mercury. The erection of a Collegiate School in North Wales has long been regarded by reflecting indivi duals as highly desirable ; and, we are happy to state, that a number of intelligent and respectable persons residing in this town have formed themselves into a previsional Committee - to give the initiative to so lau dable an undertaking.—Carnarvon Herald. CHEAP PASSAGE.—The Sydney carried out 180 Mormons to New Orleans for 1151., and the Henry has engaged to carry 140 more for a hundred pounds. Thus we see that the Nauvoo Paradise has stillattrac- tions for the credulous ; and in the absence of other freights, the Yankee captains are making ballast of the " Saints."—The Struggle. A great reduction in the number of electors will take place on the registries for this year, owing to two causes :—first, in old boroughs, numbers have been compelled to receive parochial relief; and secondly, in both old and new boroughs, a great reduction in the value of property has taken place, so that many houses, some of the value of ten pounds, are now re duced below that sum. It is now confidently stated that Admiral Sir John Talbot, G.C.8., is to be the new Naval Commander in-Chief at this port, and that Lord Viscount Ingestrie is to be the Flag Captain. Sir John Talbot is one of the most distinguished officers in the service. His gallant capture of the Rivoli, 74, when in command of the Victorious, is one of the brightest pages in the naval annals of Britain.—Hampshire Independent. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL.—The office of President of St. Thomas's Hospital has become vacant by the death of Sir John Cowan, Bart. The election of the deceased Alderman took place during his Mayoralty, when one vote was recorded for him more than for Mr. Alderman Copeland, upon whom many of the Governors wished to confer the honourable distinc tion. It is understood that the present Lord Mayor, to whose election there will probably he no opposition, will not, if elected, accept the Presidency. In these circumstances there can be little doubt that the choice of the electors will fall upon Mr. Alderman Copeland. Letters from Paris announce the failure of the fol lowing firms, all more or less connected with the corn trade :—P. Valletti and Co., Jean Valletti, H. Meyer and Co., Giraud, J. Hananeder, and Mancet Brothers. LEICESTER.—Cooper, the Chartist, is, we under stand, likely to be liberated in a few days from Staf ford gaol, where he now remains a prisoner, two sufficient bondsmen having tendered for his appear ance at the next Assizes for that county, to answer a charge of using seditious language at a meeting held in the Potteries just previous to the late outbreak. Mr. Mullen, a surgeon, of London, and Mr. Robert Haymes, of Oundle, are, we understand, hi s b a il. It is said that a detainer will be lodged against him on another charge of issuing a seditious address at Man chester to the working classes, for which Mr. O'Con nor and others are held to bail to take their trial at the next Assizes. The whole of the Chartist Execu tive have been taken, with the exception of Dr. M'Douall and Bairstow, the former of whom, it is believed, has escaped out of the country ; the latter, who has been concealed until within the last few days, has made his appearance again in Leicester; he lec tured to the Chartists on Monday evening, and states that he expects being taken before the week is out, but he is prepared with bail.--Stamford Mercury. INCENDIARISM.—We regret to state that a cowhouse and hayrick, in a field at Cotham, belonging to Air. Eades, butcher, of Christmas-street, were burnt down yesterday afternoon ; and as no fire is ever carried near the spot, it is believed to be the work of some incendiary. The fire was first observed about half-past 10 o'clock in the cowhouse, which, with a nearly new cart that was in it, was speedily reduced to ashes._ Bristol Mercury. _ MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.—On Saturday an inquest was held by Mr. Wakley, at the Torrington Arms, Finchley-common, on the body of Thomas Hickett, aged 50, who had been formerly gardener to Mr. Inglis, of Slate cottage, Finchley, but had been dis charged ab ou t a wee k ago i n c o n sequence of it s being supposed that he had stolen some apples and a dog, the property of his master. On Tuesday afternoon he left home, saying he was going for a walk. He then went to Mr. Swindell's, a chemist, were he bought three pennyworth of arsenic, saying lie wanted it for killing rats. He afterwards went to a public-house at Finchley, and drank half-a-pint of beer and a pennyworth of gin. Shortly afterwards he went home, and told his wife that he had taken poison. She laughed at the idea, and said, " You only want to frighten me." The next morning his wife was awoke by heari ng th e d ecease d re t c h vio lently. Mr. Swindell an d M r. Hammond were ca ll e d in, but he continued to get worse and died. The fluid brought up by deceased smelt st rong ly o f a rsenic; there was not the slightest ground for imputing dis honesty to the deceased, whi c h charge arose from the malice of some persons in the neighbourhood, and * caused the deceas e d t o d estroy himself The deceased' has left a widow and fi ve children. Verdict—Tem porary insanity. MAJESTY. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY , MORNING OCTOBER 31, 1842 DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND T. S. DUNCOMBE. The Ajbany, ()et. 12, 1842. Mr. T. S. Duncombe prelnts his compliments to Sir James Graham, and will feel obliged to him to present to her Majesty the accompanying petition, agreed to at a very numerous and respectable meeting of Mr. Duncombe's constituents on the '23d of August last. Whitehall, Oct. 25, 1842. am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 12th instant, transmitting a petition, signed by an individual on behalf of certain electors of the borough of Finsbury, and to inform you that this petition has been forwurded to her Majesty.—l am, Sir, Your 'obedient servant, S. M. PHILLIPFS. T. S. Duncombe, Esq.. M.P., &c., &c. The Albany. The Albany, Oct. 26, 1842. Mr DEAR SIR,—As you are the " individual" who signed the petition to the Queen on behalf of certain electors of the borough of Finsbury, I inclose you " Secretary Sir James Graham's" most courteous re ply to the note I addressed to him upon the occasion of my requesting this most condescending Minister of Police to present the Finsbury petition to her Majesty. Believe me, yours faithfully, THOMAS S. DUNCOMBE. George Rogers, Esq. TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT The humble petition of the electors of the borough of Finsbury, legally assembled by public notice in borough meeting, on Tuesday, the 23d day of August, 1842, at the - White Conduit House in the said borough, Showeth— That your Majesty's petitioners have seen with sorrow and dismay the alarming state of the manu facturing and mining districts of Great Britain, and which, in the opinion of your Majesty's petitioners, threatens effectually to destroy the security of property in every part of your Majesty's kingdom. That your Majesty's petitioners are firmly of opinion that these and other evils which afflict this country are mainly caused by class legislation, which, by promoting the interests of the few at the expense of the many, has at length produced such extreme ex haustion amongst all classes of the people, that general pressure has produced general distress, and that the sectional and individual endeavours to escape from universal suffering has brought about the evils of which your petitioners complain. That your petitioners see in the collisions and loss of life which has taken place only an aggravation of the existing evils, and which, in the opinions of your petitioners, can only be remedied by putting an end to class legislation. We, your Majesty's petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleased immediately to convene your Parliament, and adopt means for securing to the people such a representa tion in Parliament as may be in conformity with the prayers of the petition presented last session to the House of Commons, and which petitions were signed by millions of your Majesty's loyal and industrious subjects. And your Majesty's petitioners will ever pray, &c. G. Rogers, Chairman of the meeting, who has affixed his name in behalf, and by order of the bo rough meeting so assembled. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

ROYAL MARINES.--A Court of Inquiry h as j ust closed, after sitting two days, and Sergeant Brad shaw, of this corps, has been placed in custody, and will be tried by a general Court - martial, on charges embezzlement, or being deficient to th e extent of o l n o l 4 y l. , b or ee n aboutabout fiveth that t monthssu m . in Sergeant Bradsha w h as the situation, which entrusted him with the payment of various articles, which the Court of Inquiry has reason to think has not been faithfully performed. Should the above or a less sum be all that is deficient Government will not lose to a great extent, as the precautionary measure was adopted, on the appointment of Sergeant Brad shaw to the situation, to obtain security to the amount of 1001. _ The 75th regiment is now on its passage from the Cape of Good Hope, and will, on their arrival, land at Gosport, and occupy the 'quarters of the 6th regi ment; the latter corps will then go into garrison at Portsmouth. The 19th depot is ordered to hold it self in readiness to march from Brighton, and will be either quartered at Chichester or Winchester.

SATURDAY.—The extraordinary fineness of the weather during the last two or three days of the meeting roused the almost dormant spirit of match-making, and a list, crammed almost to repletion, furnished a brilliant finale to the season. No less than ten matches, a handicap (and of this description of racing the week afforded seve ral instances of remarkably close measurement), and a rubbish selling stake formed the amount of the day's sport, which commenced at eleven o'clock and termi nated at half-past tour. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Lord G. Bentinck, Marquis of Normanby, Mr. Etwall, Mr. Codrington, and a few others, were num bered amongst the departures up to Friday evening, but the mass of rank and fashion remained for this day's races, and had every reason to be satisfied with their amusement.

At the cords Melior was beaten off, and halfway up them Chilson resigned ; Ma Mie then went up to Revocation and Coranna, and after a fine race beat them by a neck, the other two making a dead heat for second.

I A CASE OF Two SISTEKS.—One, with a numerous family, possesses three hundred pounds a year; the other, from a series of misfortunes and losses, has been left wholly dependent, is in bad health, inca pable of helping herself, and is cast upon the kindness of her sister. Yet this comparatively narrow portion is taxed equally with the splendid fortune of the mil lionaire, who scarcely knows that the tax-gatherer has visited his mansion. ANOTHER CASE.—A widow lady, with six children, whom she has to maintain, clothe, educate, and start in life, has an annuity of 2001. Yet out of this seven pence in the pound is subtracted—while no more is taken from the wealthy maiden lady, who, in her re tired style of living, is unable to spend the amount of her large dividends ! ANOTHER CASE.—A naval officer, whose half-pay is under 2501. per year, has no other property or source of income. Ile has, however, five children and a wife in delicate health. Mr. Goulburn will probably ask what business a naval officer has with a sick wife and five children. Heaven knows they are great cares, and the benevo lent Mr. Goulburn augments all the difficulties of sustaining them. THE PRICE Off' -BREAD IN THE METROPOLIS. Yesterday a meeting of the Directors and Guar dians of the poor of St. Marylebone took place at the workhouse, New-road, for the purpose of receiving contracts for the supply of bread for distribution to the out-door poor, in consequence of the total inability of the workhouse bakers to keep up a supply commen surate with the increased demands upon the parish for that article of consumption. Mr. S. GRANGE having been called to the chair. A Deputation of master-bakers resident in the parish of St. Marylebone, waited upon the Board for the purpose of soliciting them not to adopt the usual system of contracting for the article of bread, but prayed them to adopt a similar system to that in use in St. Pancras, namely, that of issuing tickets to the out-door poor, which were taken by bakers in various parts of the parish in exchange for loaves, and who received their accounts monthly from the Directors of the poor. The spokesman of the Deputation argued, that in the event of the Board adopting the usual system of contracting for bread, the contract might fall into the hands of some extensive contractor out of the parish, and thus a deep injury be inflicted on them, inasmuch as many of the poor would otherwise become their customers, but would be taken from them. They therefore asked to be permitted to have it in turns to make four or five hundred loaves per week each for the use of the parish. Mr. W. BYRE desired to know if the Deputation were aware how many bakers there were residin g in the parish of Marylebone ? To which they replied in the negative. The Rev. E. SCoBELL—WouId it be worth while to divide the quantity of bread required weekly to supply the wants of the outdoor poor of this parish amongst so many ? The Deputation replied in the affirmative. Mr. Busum,You have stated that the parish of St. Pancras issue tickets to the outdoor poor. Pray how is the price of bread regulated which you give to them in exchange for those tickets ? The DEPUTATION—The price of bread is always regulated by the top price at which it is sold in the metropolis. Mr. BUSHELL—And pray what do call the top price of bread in the metropolis at the present time ? The DEPUTATION—The top price of bread at the present time in London is Bd. per loaf, and whatever the top price may be we can always afford to supply it at 2d. per loaf under. Mr. Busiim--Then you mean to say that if the price of bread in London were to fall to 6d. a loaf, you could supply it with a profit at 2d. a loaf cheaper ? The DEPUTATION—CertainIy. The Deputation having withdrawn, Mr. BOTTER said he should offer his decided oppo- Sition to the ticket system being introduced in Mary lebone upon the principle adopted in St. Pancras, or any other, as he believed it would open the door to many evils. If they were to adopt the suggestion of the Deputation, of taking:their bread at 2d. per loaf under the top price of Bd., the Board would be no gainers, for in some parts of the metropolis very good bread was selling at sd. the 4 lb. loaf. Mr. Busiim. said unless the Board were prepared to carry out the same principle with regard to butcher s meat, cheesemongery, and all other con tracts, they could not accede to the proposal. The statements made would open the eyes of the public to the system pursued by the bakers, when it was seen that they could, whatever the top price of bread might be, sell it for 2d. per loaf, and get a profit by -(Hear.) After some further discussion it was moved, se conded, and unanimously adopted, " That the appli cation of the Deputation cannot be entertained, as it is contrary to the principle of open competition for the supply of all articles for the use of the poor in the workhouse, to which the Board feel themselves bound to adhere." _ The Board then entered upon the tenders for the supply of bread. They were thirteen in number, and their respective prices as follows :—Tender No. 1, per loaf of 41bs., sd. and of a penny; No. 2,51 d. ; No. 3, sd. ; No. 4,12 s. Bd. per 1121b5., equal per loaf to 54-d. and a fraction ; No. 5, 544.; No. 6, 50.; No. 7, 50.; No. 8,6 d. ; No. 9, sd. and 3-7ths ; No. 10, 6d. ; No. 11, 511; No. 12, 58d. ; and No. 13, 50. The Board accepted the lowest tender, No. 5, at sid. the 41b. loaf. Her Majesty th e Q ueen D owager has been gra ciously pleased to present to the Sanatorium 201., as an expression of her approbation of the objects of that benevolent and highly useful institution. It is with sincere sorrow that we some time since heard of an occurrence in the highest circles, that has plunged into poignant grief some of the most exalted personages in the realm. Far be it from us to ex ' cuse vice, especially amid that class who, from the ad vantages of education, should be .made more responsi ble than humbler individuals ; but the levities, nay the crimes of youth, should not be visited with the punish ' ment that would attend the matured vices of age. He who has done the wrong is willing, at all hazards, to make the only reparation in his power—but a harsh, cruel, and crime-causing law, forbids it. This fact, if it does not wholly extenuate the offence, naturally arouses sympathy. He may not marry where he loves. Law can restrain him from the one, but what power shall control him in the other ? Human hearts know nothing of Acts of Parliament. How is the misery that so many parties now endure to be alleviated ? There is but one course for the lover to follow, and that is the example set him by one of his Noble relatives ; and, as the con stitution forbids to marry by the political l aw of Eng land, to marry by the revealed law of God. Great Heaven ! what an enormous amount of ag ony has that execrable enactment of George the Third 's caused. It has plunged those into vice that were really the vo taries of virtue, and forced the people to palliate an apparent crime, because they knew it was an en forced one. An important question may be one day asked i n Holland, but ere that day arrives, we sincerely trust the wisdom and policy of our count ry . will settle a still more momentops one in Great 13ntean.—Stinday Times. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The memorial signed by the Jury engaged in the investigation of the circumstances attending the death of Charles Beale is confir matory of the opinion which has been expressed, that the case to which the inquiry immediately referred is not a solitary instance of the fatal ef fects that have resulted from the system adopted in Northleach prison. The language of the me morial asserts the belief of those by whom it is signed that the treatment adopted in the House of Correction has been " in many cases attended with the loss of life, and in most of them with loss ofhealth." A statement that is not lightly put forth, but is fbunded on facts that came under the observation of the Jury at the recent inquest. In the letter of the foreman, which accompanies the memorial alluded to, it is alleged that the dete rioration of health in some cases, and premature death in others, have arisen from " damp cells, scanty fcor.l, and over work," all of wllich are evils that a decent degree of proper feeli ng among those who have had the control of the prison would have prompted them to , remedy. It is not as if the mortality and sickness had been occasioned by causes connected with the unhealthiness of the site, or any other circum stance that it might have been difficult to detect or provide against; but here it is evident that life has been sacrificed, and health destroyed, by the grossest neglect of the commonest duties of humanity. It appears from the state ment of the Jury that there is reason to believe many deaths have been occasioned by the system pursued in Northleach prison ; and it follows, therefore, as a matter of course, that offences to which the law has appended certain minor pun ishments have been visited frequently with the penalty of death, when committed within the jurisdiction of some of the Gloucestershire Ma gistrates. It must be startling to some of those ultra-philanthropistswho cannot bear the removal of even a murderer by the hangman's hand, when they read the memorial to which we have referred, and in which it is distinctly stated that in many cases loss of life has been the conse quence of the Northleach system of prison disci pline. It is also the opinion of the memorialists that the other gaols in Gloucestershire have been the scenes of similar atrocities to those committed at Northleach, and an inquiry is therefore suggest ed into the whole of the county prisons. Such an inquiry must be extended to the whole of the prisons throughout the kingdom; for there can be no doubt, from the correspondence inserted in the public journals, that the entire system of prison discipline requires a general and thorough revision. We are too apt to judge of secondary punishments by their immediate rather than their ultimate effects; and a maximum of work, as well as a minimum of food, which may not be insupportable or insufficient for an individual during a short period of incarceration, may be undermining his health and strength, leav ing him to suffer a combination of misery when there is an end to the period of his legal punishment. That the [memorialists were not in error when they attributed mismanagement to the other prisons of the county, is proved by a statement made on Thursday at the meeting of the Cheltenham Board -of Guardians. A man who had previously worked for his livelihood was sent into Gloucester Gaol, where the system pursued at Northleach, of turning the prisoners hot and perspiring from the treadmill into cold damp cells, is also prevalent. Since his release, himself and his family have become a burden to the parish. If economy be one of the reasons for insufficient food in the gaols, it defeats its own object when it incapacitates a man from earning his bread after his release, and thus throws himself; and all who depend upon him, as a burden on the public pocket. STAN DARD.—The millowners' conspiracy, which has assumed the titlp of " The Great League," had on Thursday a meeting at head quarters described by its organs as one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings of the League that has been held in Manchester since the commencement of the agitation. We should be ungrateful to refuse our thankful acknowledg ments for this display offered so seasonably in this dullest of dull seasons, when a sober and vigilant Government has left us almost without a topic; the greatest possible affliction to us newspaper people, condemned as we are to il lustrate the truth of Lord Bacon's observation —the easiest times to live in are the most diffi cult to write about. The League exhibition does not command our gratitude, however, solely on the ground of supplying topics—it is in itself an extremely lively and diverting piece —we sup pose we must not call it a farce. The performers on the occasion were Mr. Walker, Dr. Bowring, Mr. George Thompson, and Mr. Richard Cobden. Mr. Walker's speech was the most tame, or the least irrational (to speak strictly), as, according to the laws of the drama, a first scene speech ought to be, and, in conformity to these laws, it gave an outline of the state of the parties in the drama, and an intimation of the plot. The business of the meeting was to collect money, neither more nor less, and Mr. Walker explained, as follows, that money is wanted for domestic .use no less than for foreign enterprise. Even Lancashire itself is, it seems, in the dark ness of contentment, notwithstanding its liberal share of the 2,000 lectures and 5,000,000 of tracts. Dr. Bowring followed Mr. Walker. Dr. Bow wring is a clever, and a we}l.disposed man—but, as often happens to such men, he has wholly mistaken his vocation. Dr. Bowring, as well as the other speakers, affected to treat Sir Robert Peel's amended Corn Bill and Tariff as conces sions to. " the League ;" but if so why not treat the reduction of the scale in 1827 as a concession also? From the nature of things laws regu lating imports and exports must demand frequent revision, and such revision cannot be called con cessions, except they abandon a principle or make very violent changes. It is the cry of all the free traders, that Sir R. Peel is carrying out the plans of the late Ministers; but this cry has just this much foundation, that as the late Ministers were for revolutionising every thing, whoever modifies anything must so far proceed in their track; though, as we have often before said, the mean may be really more exposed to the extreme, which in line it follows, than the two extremes are opposed between themselves. Just as the man who walks half a circle is farther from the starting point than he who completes the circumference. Mr. George Thompson fol lowed Dr. Bowring, and informed the meeting that he is about to depart for, India in the train of Dwarganauth Tagore, we suppose to lecture about the Corn-laws, as these and the parochial affairs of Clerkenwen have constituted the only subject.of this person's life's studies. Mr. Thomp. son is surely qualified to teach the natives of In dia that there is a bombast in the west to mock the inflations of Oriental oratory. Mr. Cobden denied that any part of the missing 85,0001. of the great League fund went to defray the ex pense of his election for Stockport. Where then did it go ? MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. OR ciIFRROO3NI T ic HE LE M : N w IN e G i n p e E u ß r S w O i F t h i 3 A t T h U e lt D A spirit o. some suggestions in the columns of a Contemporary, regarding the formation of a metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, to be governed by a Committee, to su perintend the general interests of trade, and form the accredited organ of communication with the Execu tive. A Chamber of Commerce is to be found in almost every town of importance throughout the United Kingdom. London is the exception. It stands almost alone in its glory, without a legitimate organization of the great mercantile interests to afford the individual members of those interests the benefit of concentrated united action. London is behind the provinces in many things ; and one of its worst instances of lagging behind is in the want of a well constituted Chamber of Commerce. There are many powerful arguments in favour of such a society of merchants, and none of a public nature that occur to us at present against its adoption. The leading mer chants have a club of their own, at which they meet occasionally, and talk over their common interests; and there are special coffee-houses, frequented more particularly by merchants engaged in particular branches of commerce. We have the Baltic Coffee house, the New England, the Jamaica, and the Jeru salem; all cases in point. But these pla ces of ren dezious do not supersede in any way the expediencyh The of forming a Chamber of Comme rce, b y. a g eneral amalgamation of the mercantile communflotyr . stirringT present time is particularly well. chosen in the matter. The Committee appointed at the re cent meeting for carrying into effect the resolutions regarding the earlier hours for 'Change, and other matters connected therewith, is, in fact, a nucleus al. ready made, and only requiring due extension and proper materials to become the foundation of the pro posed institution. The appointment of that Com mittee proves, in fact, the want of a duly constituted Chamber of Commerce, whose Committee of Manage ment would possess adequate power and authority to enforce such rules and regulations as might from time is ab ite led f t o o r establish the commonorder good. d They imweo would d e b f e ou a nd one r e eq e u n regularity, as well as better dispatch, not only in the manner of conducting business upon 'Change, but, where it is much more wanted, namely, in the pro duce markets—and in such m a tt ers as the recent defal cations in coffee and the Custom -house frauds. TlMES.—Owing to the supineness of those par o to protect the public against such frauds, trade lotteries, like that of the London Friendly Union, are multiplying all over the metro polis. One of these "distributions," as they are 1120- destly termed, has just taken place in the heart of th City. The nominal value of the goods " distributed" was 1,250/. ; the number of tickets 9,000, at 2s. ed. each; the prizes—one of 15/. value, three of 101., eight of 51., twelve of 41., twenty of 31., 100 of 11., 150 of 10s., 1,000 of 55., 2,000 of 35., 5,681 of ls. The articles, Sheffield and Birmingham ware, of which the prizes consisted, are stated to have been of the most inferior kind, probably not worth one-third of the value affixed to them ; and assuming, therefore, that the lottery was fairly drawn (a very questionable point) the gain to the projectors must have been about 8001., while at least 8,000 of the tickets must have been returned to the dupes by whom they hay been purchased, in the shape of sixpenny or fourpenn articles, of no use. The civic authorities, apparently do not deem these matters within their province, but the Government does possess the means, and ou6h.t to possess the inclination, to check practices which injure the honest tradesman, encourage 'a vicious spirit of gambling-in the weak and thoughtless, and enrich the designing knave. A Correspondent who has re quested that public attention may be again directed to this subject says, that four other such lotteries are now in progress in different parts of the City. POST.—Letters from Berlin mention that it is proposed . by the Government there to d e f ra y th e cos t of the railroads projected for the various parts of the Prussian dominions by an issue of paper money to cover the entire amou n t. Th e sum that will be re quired for the purpose is estimated at about 80000000 Prussian thalers. No p ar ti cu l ars are given of, the probable character of the paper issue in question, but it will, it is assumed, consist of Treasury notes, and therefore be limitpd to a local circulation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT; 0c toiler 28. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat as early as eight o'clock in the private room attached to his Court in Lincoln's Inn, for the purpose of hearing an application for an injunction in the case of Elliott v. Frideberg. The plaintiff is a button manu facturer, carrying on his business at Birmingham, and the defendant is in the same business at Hull. The plaintiff some time since obtained a patent for making Imittons with a centre patern, and the validity of that patent had been established by a trial in the Court of Common Pleas. A short time since the plaintiff discovered that the defendant was having similar buttons manufactured abroad, and imported into this country, very much to the detriment of the plaintiff. The object, therefore, of the present appli cation was to restrain the defendant from importing or selling the articles in question. His HONOUR, thinking the case a gross infringement of the plaintiff's patent, granted the injunction on the terms prayed. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 29. IN RE FRANCIS GAUTIER. The bankrupt was described as a merchant, carry ing on business in Gould-square. He had also specu lated largely in buying up corn, and eventually failed in last February; shortly before which he offered a compensation of 12i per cent. to his creditors. All agreed to accede to this proposition except Mr. Petitt, the petitioning creditor, to whom a sum of 3,5001. was due. Soon after the fiat was issued at the in stance of Mr. Petitt, the bankrupt left his place of business, - where he traded under the firm of Gautier, Woods, and Company, and failed to appear on his last examination. In his schedule a number of debts described as " Foreign debts," appeared, which amounted in the aggregate to upwards of 15,0001. This day was appointed for a proof of debts, in the admission of which no point of general interest was elicited. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Eas KINE and Mr. Justice lauLE.) MURDER.—Jane Bowler, aged 26, was indicted for the wilful murder of her husband, Joseph Bowler, by administering a certain deadly poison called arsenic to him. The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty. The pri soner, who was attired in widow's weeds, and whose appearance was anything but prepossessing, did not appear at all affected by her situation. Mr. Payne conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner. Mr. PAYNE, in opening the case, told the Jury that with regard to the fact that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by arsenic there could be no doubt. The circumstances of the case all went to show that he had not administered it to himself for the purpose of self-destruction, and the Jury would have to say whether the circumstances of the case were such as to lead them to conclude that the pri soner must have been the person who administered it to him. It might be asked what was her motive ? She had been married to her husband, who was 28 years of age, for about five years, and he should show that she had long entertained a partiality for a young man named Tunstall. Having shown that she had a motive for poisoning her husband, he should show that she had ample opportunity of administering the poison, and that she had endeavoured, shortly before the murder, to purchase arsenic—that the prisoner had actually purchased arsenic. The Learned Coun sel then minutely detailed the facts of the case as they afterwards appeared in evidence, and called the fol lowing- witnesses : James Colthead—l am a surgeon. I attended the deceased several times. I knew his wife. I was called in on the 17th of September, at ten o'clock on Saturday night. The man was then dead. There were pieces of mucus on the floor. He was on the bed. I had confined Mrs. Bowler three months before. I opened the body of the deceased and found a portion of white powder about two inches in length and an inch in breadth in it. The intestines were empty, the kidneys were larger then they should be. The rest of the viscera were healthy. I took home the con- • tents of the stomach, and on examination they turned : out to_be arsenic. I should think there must have I been about 20 grains of white arsenic, commonly • called arsenious acid. The deceased must have suf fered very much indeed. I should think the poison must- have been taken six or seven hours. It could ' not have been taken more than 12 hours. I found some castor oil in the stomach. I attribute the death of the deceased to the arsenic. The prisoner ex pressed a wish to have the deceased opened. She said he had been eating apple pudding on the Wednesday previous, and that he went to the yard and imme diately cast it up again. We analysed the rest of the pudding. There was no arsenic in that. If there had been arsenic in the pudding I should think it must have been all cast up again. I was told he was ill from the Wednesday to the Saturday. I was in my shop on the Thursday morning at nine o'clock, but did not see the prisoner, nor sell her any tincture of rhubarb. I had not seen her from the time of her confinement until after deceased died. Cross-examined by Mr. BODICI/S—l am not a mem ber of . the Royal College of Surgeons. I attended the prisoner in both her confinements. She paid me my fee, but she has not paid my bill for medicines. I have sent it in. Ireduced the arsenic to the metallic form by the black flux and by Marsh's apparatus. My assistant, Wheeler, assisted me ; he is not here ; he was examined before the Coroner. He always at tends in my shop. The pudding that was given me was not given as a part of that which had been re jected from deceased's stomach. I had no opportu nity,of examining what had, been rejected from de-_ ceased's stomach. One of. the first symptoms of poison by arsenic is sickness. Castor oil is a .counter irritant. It would be likely, by its purgstiveßqulNalleir ties, to carry arsenic out of the system.

" O n th e morning of the day after his death. found a long half-pint mug in his room. I took it from the drawers of the room where deceased died. I was cleaning the room. I took it to the kitchen. There was tea in it. I emptied it in the yard. I saw a white sediment in the bottom of the mug. It looked a dirty white, like magnesi a . I took the mug to the kitchen. I did not wash it out. I did not see it after. I know a man named Punster. Mrs. Bowler said it would destroy her hapPiness, if he got married to the young woman he was paying his addresses to. This was just before Mr. Bowler's death. She had told me before, that Dunster had told her he would wait five years for her. Dunster lodged in the house. I never saw him and Mrs. Bowler go out together. cross-examined--The prisoner is a woman of a cheerful lively disposition. I did not attach any im portance to her observations about Dunster, wigis she made them. It was part of the prisoner's duty to attend to the lodgers in the house. Dunster was one of them. I have had no conversation with any person about this matter. 'When I told the prisoner about the lady and gentleman being poisoned with
