The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which tho judicious application of a small saving can secure hrough this Society. ENEFITS 11.

I never look at thee, But various musings occupy my noddle; For thy respected form was known to me, Before my infant pegs bad 'coined to toddle. daddy owned thee, and I think, the ra , her, Thou once belongedst to my father's father. Think not, old chest, that thou shalt e'er be sold, Or chopped awl changed away in foolish barter; To part with furniture so good—so old, Would mike me sorry both before and after ; Long in the family ha.t thou been of value, And never hast thou once changed hands, nor shall you. When but a little fellow, newly breeched, I owned a part of thee to hold my raiment; Dress badly cut, and very badly a itched, And badly purchased for a heavy payment. Oh, when I think upon the times departed, How glad I feel that Moses ever startol. What different garments do-t thou now contain? Thy drawers are now enriched by Messrs. Moses, Who prove that competition i , in vain, In spite of what it vauntingly proposes. All thou containest—Trowsers, Coats, etcetera, Proves Moses' clothing infinitely betteter. LIST OF PRICES.

Such is the aim and scope of ballad poetry Such lines fix themselves in the memory as the first-loved melodies of childhood.

"Two or three obvious facts are, no doubt, closely connected with the remarkable success of the • history of Europe.' It Is the only substantial work that we have with reference to all the period and all the important events of which it treats ; it deals with a section of history in which every living man is almost personally interested ; it grapples with questions whose solution has yet to be recorded ; and it comes before a generation astounded by the din and confusion of a dozen political and s3cial revolutions. explaining the causes and de fining the mixed results of one fearful revolution which, in some respects, may be regarded as the father of them all. . . .

Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, and discolorations fly befcre the application of the Ka lydor, and give place to a healthy smoothness and trans• parency of complexion. In cases of sunburn, or stings of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. As a protector and restorer of the hair, Rowland's Macassar Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from the injurious operation of the sun and dust. It is highly necessary, on purchasing, to sre that the word " Row land's" precedes the name of the article on the wrapper of each, as spurious imitations are abroad.

Business con tinues very inanimate, with only moderate supplies of all arti cles. At to•day's market wheat (foreign) of fine quality was scarce, the little in granary not being at present offered for sale ; only a moderate supply of English wheat, which met free sale at is over last week's prices, and farmers generally asked much more money. Very little business passing in malting barley, but grinding is in fair request. Other descriptions of spring corn are neglected. No arrivals of linseed, and but little passing in landed parcels.

NATIONAL REPRESENTATION. Motion made, and Question proposed, " That leave be given to bring in a Bill to amend the National Representa tion, by extending the Elective Franchise so as to include all householders, by enacting that votes shall be taken by Ballot, that the duration of Parliaments shall not exceed three years, and that the apportionment of Representatives be rendered more equal to the population." The House divided:— SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TUZSDAY. The general excellence of the racing advertised for the first day, and the interest attached more particularly - to the three leading events, i. e. , the Queen's Vase, the Triennial, and Ascot St a k es , would have been quite enough to secure the attendance of the sporting classes; and, under any cir cumstances, the presence of the Court would have attracted a large and fashionable assemblage. Coming, however, so shortly after the recen t outrage, t h e prom i se d v i s i t of her Majesty was looked forward to with more than ordinary anxiety; and thousands, who might otherwise have reserved themselves for the Cup or " grand " day availed themselves of so favourable a n opportun i ty of testifying their loyalty and attachment. For the gratification of this feeling ample facilities were offered. In addition to the long-established route by the Great Western to Slough, the South-Western Company provided special trains from the Waterloo bridge Station to Staines and Datchett, where numerous well-appointed conveyances were provided to carry pas sengers on, either through Egliam and Englefield-green, or Windsor. By the diversion of the traffic which necessarily arose from this competition, much of the confusion which we have so often witnessed in Windsor was prevented, and the journey was rendered shorter and less fatiguing than of old ; of course the town suffered from it to some extent; the inhabitants must have anticipated that such would be the case, for on no other ground can we account for the Windsor Town Plate having realised the contemptible sum of 35/. The racing yesterday was announced to take place at one o'clock, by which hour the appearance of the course abun dantly indicated that the combined attractions of the royal visit and a great day's sport were appreciated; a more nu merous or a better class of company has not often been seen on a first day, even at this favourite resort of the aristocracy. All were on the qui wive for the arrival of her Majesty; unfortunately a tremendous thunderstorm came on shortly before the royal liveries were visible in the distance, and the enclosure at the grand stand and the course were cleared as if by magic. The rain ceased shortly after her Majesty's arrived at the Royal Stand, but it completely damped those loyal effusions which fine weather, it would seem, are necessary to elicit. The royal cortege consisted of five carriages and four, the char a banc, and a pony Orator]. In the carriage with the Queen were their .Royal High nesses Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, and Prince Henry of the Netherlands ; in the next, his Serene High ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimer, the Duke of Norfolk, and the Duchess of Sutherland. In addition to these illus trious and distinguished personages, we noticed the Dukes of Rutland and Wellington, his Excellency Count Schimmel penninck, the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde and Lady Emily de Burgh, the Marquis and Marchioness of Worcester, Lord Fortescue, Lord Listoweil, Lady Canning, Vice-Admiral Lucas, Lieutenant-Colonel Pigot, Honourable Colonel Phipps, Colonel Bouverie, Mr. Ormsby Gore, Colonel Wylde, &c., &c. We should state that all the royal carriages were open, and that umbrellas were brought into requisition to shelter their occupants from the rain ; even his Royal Highness Prince Albert was com pelled to resort to one for the protection of her Majesty, during her progress up the course. The bell rang for saddling immediately after the Queen's arrival, and the rain having ceased, the sports pro ceeded without any impediment to their full enjoy ment. The Queen's departure took place after the Ascot Derby, amidst cheering that must have convinced her Majesty that the absence of those demonstrations, which have marked her presence upon all previous visits, did not proceed from any want of loyalty or regard. The racing, which was protracted until a late hour, realised all that could have been anticipated; a better, or a more in teresting day's sport, has rarely been witnessed. Of the eight events brought to a decision the three already men tioned, as forming the chief attractions of the list, alone call for any observation. The race for the Queen's Vase was a surprise in more respects than one. Cossack came into the betting at the eleventh hour, and at one moment was actually first favourite. The race, however, resulted in favour of the fielders, the cracks being bowled over by an animal of whom no mention was made in the betting. The Triennial Stakes was another agreeable surprise to the professionals, Hotspur, who did not look by any means fit, Elthiron, in short, all the favourites, succumbing to a horse who, although he ran Elthiron to a head for it last year, was in scarcely any favour this, the "second time of asking." The Ascot Stakes, with which the interest of the racing terminated, fell to the lot of the Duke of Richmond, with the same animal that won it last year. The other races do not call for any remarks be ynd what we have appended to the return. Business com menced shortly after one o'clock with— The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added; for two year olds, 4st 41b ; three, 7st 41b ; four, Bst 71b ; five, 9st ; six and aged, 9st 31b.

A very fine race home terminated in favour of Glenalvon by a lead, Cossack and Canezou making a dead head of it for the second place. Run in 3 min. 52 sec.

Nunnykirk, and Honeycomb. Half way up the distance Vatican was beaten, and Do-the-Boys taking the lead, maintained it to the end, and won cleverly by a length; the same between second and third ; Elthiron a bad fourth. Do-the-Boys is in future to bear his original name of Borneo. The race was run in 1 min. 51 secs.

Except that Strych nine took the second place at the Swinley Mile Post, there was no material change in the order of running until they came to the last turn, where Vampyre and Essedarius, who had been lying in the rear up to the Old Mile Post, became third and fourth.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday the 4th, the Incumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill was read a third time, and passed. I have noted on a former occasion the prospect there was, that the success of this Bill would open the road to improve ments in the titles to landed property throughout the empire. In the Committee on Supply, opposition was made to a grant of 1,6951., which, if not the precise thing deno minated Regium Donum, was of the same nature; being,. as was extracted on i nqu iry, divided among upwards of a thousand persons purporti cg to be Dissenting minis ' te rs, in sums conseq uen tly averag i ng a b ou t thirty shil lings each, and without any list being kept or required of the recipients, on the ground that it might be wound ing to their feelings that their names should be known. Last year a stout opposition was made by the mass of the Dissenting body, through petitions and otherwise, to the continuance of this most unkind benevolence. But this year they appear to have been mute, or with such small exception as to be inconsiderable. A friend of theirs stated, in conversation along the benches, that they did not want to keep up a perpetual outcry, and were keeping silence that words might accumulate. I must take leave to doubt the goodness of this policy. Whenever the accumulated remonstrances appear, the ready intimation from the enemy will be, that they are the result of an artificial agitation, the proof being, that there were none before. The tirailleur sys tem is better than that of vollies, for a warfare of this nature. It is the same that was practised against the Unjust Judge, and acts by a continual dropping, rather than any attempt to wash away the stone at once. It is impossible that on the present occasion, the muster of the Dissenters' friends should not have been weakened for want of orders; so the grant was finally passed with a majority of 52 against 33. The Clergy Relief Bill as amended in Committee, is printed, and so far as I can judge, is purged of the " white sheet" and other objectionable matter. There is perhaps a little unnecessary tonguing over, of the word "Deprivation." But tho decaying giant must be in dulged in his growl. The Bill as amended stands for consideration on the 13th. On Tuesday Mr. Hume made his motion to bring in a Bill for Extension of the Suffrage, Voting by Ballot, Shortening the duration of Parliaments, and diminishing the inequality in the Electoral Divisions. The question was not altogether fortunate in its mode of introduction; for it is not policy to begin by representing the sup porters of a measure as entirely at variance among themselves, nor to place a Government in the position ot enemies, by assuming their hostility before they have had time to declare themselves. Under these circumstances there is perhaps some excuse for the manner in which the Government replied ; but that will not prevent the con sequences which probably will ensue. It is not unlikely that the declaration of this night, will be quoted as having produced the same effect as the well-known de claration of a Noble Duke against Reform in an earlier stage. A consummation not to be lamented in the end; though regret may be inevitable, that the end could nut have been obtained by other means. The old eighty seem to appear faithfully upon the scene ; the motion having been negatived by 268 against 82. _ . I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, June 6, 1849. IRELA ND. THE STATE PRISONERS. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—This afternoon a deputation, consisting of the Lord Mayor, the Mayors of Cork, Waterford, and Limerick, and several clergymen, Roman Catholic and Protestant, Mr. Butt, Q C., &c., proceeded,: by appointment to the Vice-Regal Lodge, to lay before the Lord Lieutenant memorials on behalf of the state prisoners. The result of the interview cannot transpire until long after post hour, but the nature of the answer may be guessed from the fact of the prison authorities having re ceived orders t hold the prisoners in readiness for em barkation this evening. Mr. Crayon Duffy and several other friends took leave of Mr. O'Brien this morning. A deputation from one of the Dublin Relief Corn mittes is about to visit London forthwith. SUDDEN DEATH OF LADY BLESSINGTON.—OUT Paris correspondent, in his letter dated Monday, five in the , afternoon, announces this distressing event as follows :—" We have all been much shocked this afternoon by the sudden death of Lady Blessington. Her Ladyship dined yesterday wPIi the Duchess de Grammont, and returned home late in her usual health and spirits. In the course of this morning she felt unwell, and her homoeopathic medical adviser, Dr. S mon, was sent for. After a short consultation the doctor announced that his patient was dying of apoplexy, and his prediction was unhappily verified but too rapidly, as her Ladyship expired in his arms about an hour and a half ago. Poor Lilly Blessington ! She was loved and admired by all who had the happy privilege of knowing her, and of joining in those social circles of the worthy and the wise who congre gated around her hospitable board. It was but the day be fore yesterday that she got into her new house in the Rue de Cercle, where her delightful reunions were eagerly looked for as an oasis in this republican desert, where the few good and great men who yet linger in this distracted country hoped to find a brief respite from the turmoil of party strife. It was but last week that Lady Blessington was dining at the Elys6e, and remarked to Prince Louis Napoleon with how much pleasure she looked forward to her residence in Paris, and now Mors sola fatetur quantula cunt hominum corpuscula. Every one will attribute this sad occurrence to cholera, but Lady Blessington died of apoplexy. Cholera has had enough laid to its charge, and even now at the pre sent moment it has affected poor Carlotta Grisi, who is seriously ill, but it is hoped that she may recover, as she is better than she was last night. Last night it killed ten Deputies and Madam Vi,conti. Poor Lord Wallscourt was carried off rapidly last week, as he did not send for advice in time. Lady Nortnanby is also very unwell, and is going to Chantilly to-morrow, to escape from the intolerable heat which is now raging.—illorning Post. Two FIRES AT LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Yester day morning a fire broke out in the Farnham Castle Tavern, 29, Little Trinity-lane, City, the property of Mr. Joseph Kitchin. It appears that about an hour after the occupants had retired to rest, the police-constable on the beat per ceived an unusual glare of light in the bar, and at once raised an alarm. Upon the inmates coming down stairs they found the lockers in front of the bar, containing fire wood, oil, and turpentine, in a body of flame, the heat from which had melted the liquor-pipes, and about twenty gal lons of spirits escaping, also became ignited. The inmates, with the assistance of the brigade, succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the premises in which they origi nated. About the same hour a fire occurred upon the pre mises of Mr. E. Hall, known as the George Tavern, Gravel lane, Southwark. It commenced in the flooring of the skittle-ground, but the damage done was trifling. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER.-00 account of Whitsuntide hclidays there was but little business trans acted during the whole of last week. The market, however, presented its usual scene of activity yesterday. There was a good attendance on Change, and a decidedly firm feeling prevailed. Yarns were more inquired for, and most sales were effected at quite as high a rate, and in some cases at a higher rate than last week. Buyers for the Indian and Chinese markets were very active, and a better trade than is usual for this season is being carried en in all descriptions of light fabrics. Domestics and heavy goods are not so de pressed as they have been for some time past. The advance in the lighter materials suited to the Indian markets was yesterday very considerable, and there is a prevailing im pression that trade with that market and with China is likely to be considerable. THE RIVER PLATE.—By the arrival of the packet we have received advices from Moate Video to the 22d March. They bring no political news, except a contradic tion of the report that Admiral Lepredour had signed a convention with Rosas. He was still at Buenos Ayres. The half-yearly meeting of the Grand Junction Canal Company was held yesterday, at which a dividend was declared at the rate of ö per cent. per annum, leaving a surplus of 2,3031. to be carried to the reserve fund. The re port stated that the experiment adopted by the company in becoming carriers continued to yield satisfactory results. In July last they carried 2,126 tons, the receipts in connexion with which were 2,9381., while in March the number of tons had risen to 9,930, and the receipts to 11,0871.

THE LATE QUEEN CAROLINE.—It is already • known to many that the unfortunate Consort of Geor g e the Fourth, during her res idence abroad, adopted and received into her establishment a young Greek lady of noble birth—a native of Scio, and took a most lively interest in her future fate and fortunes. This lady, it appears, on leaving the Queen was married to a Scottish gentleman, and proceeded on her travels in almost every quarter of the globe. Since her return home, we understand she has written an account of her residence with the Queen, and of the adventures she met with on her travels. The work is announced for itnme diate publication under the title of " Adventures of a Greek Lady," and will doubtless excite much interest. THE WEATHER.—The weather continues highly favourable. The crops begin to make a splendid ap pearance. There Lever was a finer prospect of an Cal lisle P u t t iot. abundant harvest.— UXBRIDGE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.-This corps, under the command of Captain de Burgh, met for five days' training and exercise on the 29th, finishing with a review on Saturday, after which an excellent dinner was given to the men by the officers.

Vice Admiral Lucas, Colonel Wylde, and Dr. Meyer, followed in another landau. At twelve o'clock the Royal procession was formed, and quitted the Castle in the following order: — An open carriage and four, conveying her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and his Roy al Highness Prince Henry of the Netherlands. An open carriage and four, conveying his Serene High ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Viscountess Canning, and the Duke of Norfolk.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent afterwards retnrned to Frogmore House. The Duke of Wellington arrived at the Castle this afternoon on a visit to the Queen.

CITY, The sales of Cotton atQ LUiAveßrpToEolßyesTteOrdaTyHaßmEouEn.ted to 10,000 bales, including 4,000 on speculation and ex port. The transactions consisted of 9,000 A • merman at .`sel. to aid., 200 Bahia at 44e1 to sd, 100 Egyptian at 510. to 6d, 700 Surat at 3d. to 3id., and 40 Sea Island at 90. to 11d. per lb. The market was animated, and American sorts were id. per lb. higher.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was d one, and in some instances higher prices were paid. The market closed firmly. The arrivals of Grain reported at Mark-lane to-day comprise 1,970 qrs. of Foreign Wheat, and 11,400 qrs. of Oats. There are conflicting opinions concerning the future course of the grain trade, as well as other branches affecting our agriculturists, and without adopting the opinions of others, we may usefully give some remarks by a practical party, who states that— " Beef is likely to advance further as we get along the summer, for the supplies will be found short about August; but mutton will be plentiful, which may check the rise in beef. Lean bullocks will not get cheap enough, for we can't get supplies enough in Norfolk. The system of grazing has altered, for all the Midland aid northern breeding districts used to send their pro duce lean into the grazing districts, but latterly these breeding counties have found out that they can grow squally good beet and turnips, and fatten bullocks equally well with the Norfolk and Suffolk men, and now they send away only the cattle 1% hich they do nut need fur themselves, and as they keep the best, it is but seldom we see such well bred cattle here as we used, unless some enterprising men go to the breedirg districts and buy for themselves. Sheep, on the contrary, we grow plenty of, and some as fine, pure, and good, as anywhere in England." It is satisfactory to find in the American letters delivered yesterday afternoon, that the prospects of trade in the United States are encouraging; but at Montreal business was dull in Flour and must other articles. The business of the Weliand canal this year exceeds that of previous years; a good deal of American craft, taking advantage of the route to reach Albany, via., Oswego. The number of passengers advised, as being on the voyage out to Quebec from England and Ireland, was 8,550. It is a matter of complaint that the mercantile classes in British North America have no share in the Government, and have had none for twenty years, and a remodelling of the franchise is imperatively for. We were certainly gratified, in attending yester day, a meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of British North America, to find that the profits of the past year were 51,8001., after allowinglor all bad and doubt ful debts; that a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum was declared, and that the directors anticipated some improvement in the trade of the colony. Under date of March 28, from Valparaiso, we have the following : The arrivals of registry tonnage in the aggregate falls short this month in comparison with that of the preceding one, by about 12,000 tons, there having en tered only 8,486 t ons i n a ll, o f which 834 are British; namely, about 400 with coal, 400 in transit for Europe, and none with assorted cargoes, about 2,000 tons United States, chiefly whalers and transports, with provisions, for California, and one assorted cargo, only 3,200 tons Chilian coasters, 632 tons Peruvian, and about 1,900 tons of Danish and other continental flags. All these latter have found for the most part ready employment at former good rates on this coast, but chiefly for San Fran cisco, to which destination about 5,000 tons have sailed, comprising what was reported last month as being on the berth loading. Most of the vessels which were left unchartered at the departure of the last steamer, both in this and in Coquimbo bay (say about 3,000 tons), have successively been taken up for carry ing guano, principally, and saltpetre, and copper ores, partially, to ports - in England direct. There are still about 1,200 tons, of various flags, loading to sail shortly ;or California. Generally speaking, there is a slight tendency towards rise in freight rates, which will be de termined by the greater or lesser number of arrivals be fore the sailing of this steamer ; of British there remain about 600 tons in this bay for charter, and about 600 tons of continental flags. Bar silver having accu mulated fur want of purchasers, it not having any otht r destination but that of simply being exported in bars. and the Copiapo mines continuing abundant, has fallen ,o dollars 9.7 marck. There are orders for purchasing guano (Chilian) at limited price!.; but holders thereof pr,fer sending it to Europe on their own account at our actual low rates, rather than sell it at the current price of 14 dollars the ton on board.

The Money Market in London is in a very easy state, but there is fair employment in many branches of trade for surplus funds. In sugar and other articles of foreign and colonial growth there has been more activity, and the manufacturing districts must need a greater circula tion of cash. Still there is nothing to indicate the least tightening in the rates of discount for the present. The English Funds have been flatter this morning, as the advance of yesterday has induced the realisation of profits by many who bought in at lower prices, and the Paris Bourse has exhibited weakness again.
