The Members of the Government are exceedingly anxious to throw upon Providence the responsibility of the present distressed state of the country. To get rid of a charge of robbing the poor of the fruits of their honest labour, they have recourse to blasphemy. They charge the benignant, bountiful Creator of the world with the evils resulting from the operation of iniquitous laws, made for the express purpose of enriching the land owners at the expense of the toiling operative and me chanic. Lord STANLEY had the audacity to tell the House of Commons last night, in the course of the de- bate upon Mr. WALLACE'S motion, that there was much in the present distress beyond the reach of human legis- lation ; and he went on to instance the deficient liar- Tests of the two last _years. We ask the Noble Lord was there any deficiency of grain in Bel gium, in the German States, or in America, the list two years ? If we wanted corn, who but "the monopolists, like Lord STANLEY, prevented us Trom being plentifully supplied with it ? If it was the will of GOD to visit this country with a deficient harvest, it:was likewise His will to grant a superabundance to our neighbours, and to dispose them to supply our wants, provided the wicked men , who controlled the kindly operation of the Divine laws by selfish legisla tion would permit them. GOD gave the human race this beautiful world to live in, making it the common property of all. But wicked and cruel men seized upon tracts of it, divided it amongst themselves, and reduced to slavery all who were weaker than they. Lord STAN LEY has himself depopulated some fifteen miles of beau tiful country to form parks and shrubberies for the pro tection of game. The peasants are driven forth to die of hunger, in order that pheasants and other descriptions of game may be protected for the amusement of the aristocracy ! By abolishing the latter system, by which every poor peasant could support his family without becoming a burden to the parish, the poor are drivea into large towns, where thousands of them annu ally fall victims to the starving operation of the Corn laws. And yet the men who pass these laws—the men who refuse the poor labourer the occupation of a rood of ground upon which to grow food for his starving el iildren, —the men whe will not suffer the famishing cutler of Sheffield to exchange his wares for a sack of foreign dour—these men have the blasphemous audacity to charge Providence with the misery of the poor ! No, the great and benign Giver of all Good never imposed a prohibitory duty upon human food, the real cause of all the misery to which the working classes" of this country are now sub jected. The Government declares itself unable to relieve the public distress. Why then maintain any law which the public regards as the cause of that distress ? The landlords pretend that the Corn-laws were passed to protect the poor equally with the rich. Now when it is proved that they starve the poor, by keeping up the price of bread and dimi nishing the demand for our manufactures, why are they not abandoned ? We regard the declaration of the Government as absolving the starving poor from all submission to those iniquitous laws of which they are the victims. GovernMent has failed in its first and most essential duty towards them. It declares that it can neither protect their labour, which is their property, by allowing thou to exchang6 it for food, nor their life which is jeopardied without such protection. What claim then, can such a Government have upon the obedience of the people ? None that we can conceive, net derived from brute force. Madrid Journals of the 28th ult. have reached us. The Chamber of Deputies voted on that day the first article of the project of law, which fixed at 90,000 Inca the active force of the army, by a majority of 60 to 22. Two bargains were concluded in the Three per Cents., with the present Coupon, at 221, at 30 and 45 days; and 24 in the Five per Cents., with the 11 coupons, at 314 for casb;and 32 31i at 60 days, for 21,600,000 reals. The French Journals of Tuesday are all filled with election news. The friends , of Ministers calculate upon a majority, but our impression is that it will be an ex ceedingly small one. M. GUIZOT is very unpopular, though why he is so is not known to one-tenth of his opponents. They follow in the`sake of the Press, which is all-powerful in France. 'rho news of the attempt of the wretch BEAN to frighten the QUEEN excited universal disgust in Paris. The Correspondent of Nuremberg publishes a letter, dated Berlin, the 26th ult., stating that on the 24th ult. an ac- Indent occurred on the Potsdam Railroad which had nearly proved as fatal as that on the road to Versailles. The sparks et fire from a locomotive set fire to one of the waggons. The persons inside perceiving the smoke, endeavoured to open the doors, but they were locked. At length the conductors having hoard the screams of the passengers, succeeded in extinguishing the fire. A letter from Malta, of the 26th of June, says : " Admiral Owen's squadron does nit move ; all the ships are, however, ready to pat to sea. It was at first in contem plation to send some vessels to the Levant, but it was judged that there were fully sufficient there already to balance the farm under Rear-Admiral La Susie. Admiral Owen doubt less, remains here to observe the movements of the squadron ender Admiral Hugon, the destination of which is not known. " The packet-boats are continually in motion ; they are often despatched to Tunis, Tripoli, Constantinople, and Mar seilles, and so suddenly, that the merchants are nut informed, sod cannot send any letters by them."— Commerce.

" WHIPPING THE HOUSE OUT."—Mr. Cripps, alluding last night to the fact of the Government not having made a House on Monday, observed that "many Members who sat on the Opposition. benches, had been in the lobby, anal had actually refused to come in, and had afterwards boasted that they had whipped the House !"—lt is deeply to be lamented that this " whipping," instead of being a mere figure of speech—a metaphorical flagellation—had not been a literal and positive One. Imagination cannot ' conceive a more gratifying and patriotic spectacle, than that of the Oppo sition Members laying the lash on the Tory sup porters of the Income-tax, with all the emphasis and dex terity of one of Lord Cardigan's drummers. Such a wholesome castigation of the fiction would be a positive boon to th e p u bli c ; b u t c o u ld it h ave b een inflicted. just half an hour previous to the division on th a t detestable Tax, it is impossible to overrate the advantages that would have resulted from it. Though no advocates for flogging in the army or navy, yet there are times, we think, when flogging in St. Stephen's is calculated to be of inestimable benefit, for it is just that sort of striking and forcible argument by which Tories are most likely to be convinced. How e l se is Mr. Ferranti to be converted t o a r i ght way of thinking ? By what other process is Si r J ames Graham to be taught to regard the Corn-laws in a rational light? Will anything short of • a sound flogging i n d uce sir Idward linatchbull to give a vote on the right side ? In justice to the superior dignity of the Prouder, we think that the experiment, if tried, should be first tried on him, and that the most sinewy and muscular Liberal in the House—say, Mr. O'Connell—should Le respectfully supplicated to be the operator. NEW INVENTED LTMBRELLA.—The more utilitarian eeienee beoomes, in its adaptations to the ordinary pro ductions of our art and manufactures, in so much the greater degree will society, and the individual in general, be benefited and improved. Mr. Taunton's newly-in 7onted umbrella excellently instances this, in the four fold combination of iustruments and purposes which he has introduced into this simple and common convenience. recommending itself by its portability of carriage, and exquisite uniqueness of appearance : it, of course, an swers the first qualification of its name, in acting as a defence against the weather • but, while servin as a protection f rom the sun ar;d it can, if opporqunity or desire occu r , administer to the pleasures or more ele vated pursuits of tiiescientific or ;Al . -amusing pedes ntlaps, c b o y m r p e a a s s s, reason which eha the tr o e microscope, and mari ner's ished off, and admirably form part of the umbrella i ' tselt.'Thus, the rambler may with the one, viz., the microscope, o exam.ne on the spot, the plant, fungus, insect,a_tomic fragment of gneiss, or any other he may chance to whether m g e e et i geological substance which upon coast or cliff.

This latter part of the Invention forms the tube or stick of the umbrella, which varies in diameter from I five-eighth to nearly three-quarters of an inch. Having proved its capacity in this respect, we found it, on gra duating the lenses to sight, to afford a perfectly correct and faithful image of the distantly reflected - object. The brass and ivory fittings of the whole, the nice fixtures of the grooves, the accuracy and truth of the glasses, joined with neatness, respectability, and mode rate price, render it one of the most covetable things of the day ; one, if we mistake not, which will soon be the inseparable accompaniment of every gentleman in his walks and leisure. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY., QUARTER TO THREE. The markets have become heavy, but without any business having been done In consequence.

The Bonds quoted to-day are Colombian, 223 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 213; and the Three per Cents., 211. It is reported that instructions have been given to the various finance agents of the Foreign Governments, as well as to the leveral Companies, to retain the Income-tax from the dividends which may be paid through or by them. Papers from Hobart Town to the bth of March have been received, but contain no public information. Private letters however state that the markets have improved, and the ap pearance of business to be more favourable. A Morning Contemporary has published an article upon the dangers and unprofitableness of sheep-farming in Australia, but accounts all disagree with the view thus taken. It certainly appears difficult to suppose any less can arise from this branch of industry, when the high prices obtained for the wool in this cisuntry, and the rapidly increase in quantity is taken into consideration. The newly located district of Portland Bay is particularly singled out for the attack ; but letters received from thence yesterday from a settler mention that the inhabitants are all doing well, and in high spirits at the prospect of ship ping from 4,000 to 5,000 bales of wool during the present sea son. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of this, although it be completely at variance with the statements put forth this morning. The natives have all along been repre sented as comparatively quiet, and more inclined to retire further into the interior as the colonists advance their settlements, than to dispute possession of the ground. That some murders have taken place by them is doubtless the fact, but that they are of frequent occurrence, or that the aborigines are so decidedly hostile to Europeans, cannot be admitted. At a time when so much distress exists at home, and the accounts from almost every colony state the impedi ments which exist to improvement in the want of European labour, and the advantage to be derived from agricultural pur suits, it is difficult to imagine the precise object to be attained by the misrepresentations so frequently and assiduously pub lished with regard to emigration.

PORTUGAL. FINAL RESULTS OF THE GENERAL ELEC. TIONS. " LISBON, TUEBDA.T, JUNE 21, 3 P.M. " The scrutiny of the elections for Estremadura has this moment concluded, and the result is, that the Go vernment has been defeated by a large majority, there being 16 of the Coalition and only 6 of the Government candidates returned. This is by far the most important election in Portugal, the candidates on both sides being among the most notable poriticians in the kingdom. As a set-off to this triumph of the Coalition, the Govern ment will certainly be victorious in the contested election of Evora, in the Alemtejo, their candidates having been returned (as I have just now ascertained by the tele graphic despatch) by a majority of six to the Bureau which has the management of the electoral scrutiny. There is scarcely a doubt that these candidates will b: finally returned by the same majority. " The names of the 16 Opposition Members returned for the Estremadura district are :—Rodrijo da Fonseca Magalhaes, J. R. de Miranda, A. C. de Vasconcellos, J. G. da S. Sanches, Faintino da Gams, Joaquim Antonio d'Aguiar (late Premier), Avila (late Finance Minister), Vilera de Castro, Garrett, Beirao, M. A. de Campos, Jose Estevao de Magalhaes, Monzinto Albuguergue, C. Castello Branco, 0. Holini, and M. D. Leitao. The Government Members returned are—Costa Cabral, the Ministers of Marine .and Justice, J. J. Falcao, M. B. d'Oliveira Borges, and J. da C. Carvalho. This result is most perilous, and may prove fatal to the existing Ad ministration. Everything is quiet, but the enthusiasm of the Opposition is extreme. :In the Coalition list re turned there is one Miguelite. The defeat of the Go vernment is owing to the ratting of two individuals, and to three others absenting themselves on the plea of ill heaith. They are said to have received 300 milreis each from the Coalition to secure that result. ' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) WORCESTER RACES.—WEDNESDAY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS PAY.) The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals, The Peers present were the Lord-Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cot tenham, Lord Campbell, and the Bishop of Chichester. THE REV. JOHN FERGUSSON'S EXECUTORS V. THE EARL OF XINNOUL.-THE AUCHTERARDER CASE. This case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decree of The Court of Session, confirming the judgment in an action {brought by the respondent. The facts of the case, which have often been before the public, may be thus shortly stated. In 1834 the parish church of Auchterarder having be come vacant by the death of the Rev. Charles Stewart, the Earl of Kinnoul, as patron, presented the Rev. Robert Young to the living, and thereby required the Moderator and the Pres bytery of Auchterarder to make trial of his qualifications to fill the office, and if they found him fit to perform the duties, to admit him to the office. Several meetings of the Presbytery took place, and ultimately on the 7th of July, 1835, they re fused to make trial of the qualifications of Mr. Young; upon this that gentleman instituted proceedings against the Presby tery in the Court of Session, and that Court declared that Mr. Young had been legally presented to the church of Auchter arder, and that the Presbytery were bound to make trial of his qualifications, and that their having refused to do so was an illegal act. Sometime after this a memorial was presented to the Presbytery, stating the judgment that had been pro nounced by the Court of Session, and asking them to make re paration for the injury they had inflicted, by admitting Mr. Young. They still, however persevered in their determina tion not to make trial of his qualifications, stating as their reason for doing so, that the majority of the male heads of families, communicants in the parish, dissented to his appointment. That memorial was presented by the Presbytery of Auchterarder to the Synod of Perth and Stirling, and by that Synod it was transmitted to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. That As sembly upon consideration approved of the course adopted by the Presbytery of Auchterarder, and dismissed the memorial of Mr. Young. The case was then brought on before the House of Lords, and that tribunal affirmed the judgment of the Court of Session, finding that the Presbytery of Auchterar der had acted illegally in not admitting Mr. Young to that church. After this decision another application was made to the Presbytery to admit Mr. Young, but on their still refusing to do so, other legal proceedings were taken, which ended in an order on the Presbytery of Auchterarder to pay to the Earl of Kinnoul the sum of 5,0001., and to the Rev. Mr. Young 10,0001., as da mages • and against that decision the present appeal was brought, on:the behalf of the majority of the Presbytery of Auchterarder. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. PEataxwrox, who were counsel for the appellants, contended that the proceedings that had taken place in the Court below were perfectly novel, not only in the history of Scotch law, but in that of the law of every other nation, and that therefore it was not competent to bring such an action as had been instituted, hut that even if it was, at all events no such action could be maintained unless there was an averment and proof of express malice on the part of the individual members of the Presbytery of Auchterarder, who had refused to take Mr. Young's qualifications into consideration. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Stuart Wortley were counsel for the respondent. The arguments on behalf of the appellants were proceeding when our Evening Edition went to press. SHERIFFS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) FISHER AND OTHERS V. THE EARL OF DUNDONALD. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are the executors of the late Mr. James Fisher, the eminent army clothiers of Duke-street, St. James's, to recover of the defen dant the sum of 145/. 14s. 9d., with interest thereon from the 9th December, 1539. Mr. Clifford, the solicitor for the plaintiffs, being sworn, de posed that he was instructed to apply to thedefendant's solicitor for the settlement of the account; as he could not obtain it he applied to the noble defendant by letter on the 19th of list March, requesting payment should be made with interest be fore the following Wednesday, and received an answer, dated 2, Victoria-square, Pimlico, 22d March, requesting him (the witness) to stay the proceedings until the latter end of April or beginning of May, as he (the defendant) could not sell some stock in the French funds before that time. To the best of his belief the letter is in the noble defendant's handwriting. By Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL—What interest do you charge, 4 or 5 per cent. ? Witness—Five per cent., as the debt has been standing so long. The UNDER-SHERIFF—You cannot do so legally; it is for the Jury to consider whether they will give such a large amount. The Jury deliberated for a few moments, and returned a verdict for the amount claimed, with interest at 5 per cent., making 157/. 10s. 6d. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE CASE or NICHOLAS SUlSSE.—Nicholas Suisse %as again placed at the bar to-day. Previous to the reading of the indictment, Mr. THESIGEP. applied, on the affidavit of Mr. Wm. Whit hall, the attorney, for the defence, to have the case put off in consequence of the serious illness of an important witness, whose evidence was most material ; he alluded to Thomas Foote, who had been a fellow-servant of the prisoner's in the employ of the late most Noble Francis Charles Marquis of Hertford. To the affidavit were annexed certificates from 3lr. T. Watson, aphysician, and Mr. T. Peter Puller, the surgeon and apothecary, who was examined yesterday. He ( M r. Thesiger ) after a consultation with his Learned Friends, had come to the conclusion, very much against his own desire, that he could not safely proceed to trial without the evidence of the said witness. Mr. KELLY opposed the postponement on the ground that the affidavit should have been put in yesterday. Mr. Baron GURNEY granted the application, and the case was postponed till the 24th of August next._. HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.- Thomas Robertson, aged 21, and J. Patterson, aged 24, privates in the Ist bat talion of Scotch Fusilier Guards, were placed at the bar, charged, the termer with stealing from Mr. Edmund Lea one watch, value 151., and the latter with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Messrs. Phillips and Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and the prisoners were undefended. It appeared from the evidence that, as the prosecutor was walking across Hyde- ark, about half-past nine on the 28th June last,- a soldier, whom the prosecutor could not recognise, accosted him, and accused him of having interfered with him whilst with a girl. The prosecutor denied all knowledge of the affair, and after some words a tussle ensued, the prosecutor was thrown on the grcund twice during the scuffle, after which he made his escape. He had not gone far, however, before he ascertained that he had been despoiled of his watch. Robert son was observed to enter the barracks shortly after ten o'clock on the night in question, and appeared to be in a great perspi ration. He showed the watch to several of his comrades and said it had been given to him. Paterson was afterwards seen with the wateh, but there was no evidence to show that he was aware the watch had been stolen, nor was it pretended that he had been near the spot. The prisoners in their defence merely stated that they were not guilty. Captain Seymour, of the Scotch Fusiliers, gave both pri soners an excellent character. Mr. BARON GU RNEY briefly summeef' up, and the Jury after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of "Guilty" against Robertson, and acquitted Paterson. Robertson was sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for the term of 15 years. DISGUSTING CA SE. Thos. William Neatherstreet, de scribed in the calendar as " labourer, 19," but who did not appear to be above 15 years of age, and was anintelligent looking youth, was charged with feloniously assaulting, and carnally knowing Esther Maskell, aged three years, on the 18th of June last. The child's age precluded her from being examined before the Court. but the case was fully made out by the evidence of the child's mother, and Mr. Davenport, a surgeon, who, from an examination of the person of the child and the prisoner, was perfectly convinced, in his own mind, that the prisoner had effected his object. The prisoner, too, when asked whet he had been doing, said that he had been doing that which he ought not to have done ; he was very sorry for it, and if allowed to go would never do the like again. Mr. Juitice WILLIA ms having summed up the evidence, The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported beyond the seas to such place as her Majesty, bi and with the advice of her Privy Council should direct, for the term of his natural life. THE ANTI-CORN-L AW CONFERENCE. (THIS DAY.) The meeting of the Delegates of the Anti-Corn-law Conference was resumed this morning, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. P. A. TAYLOR, Esq., took the chair shortly after eleven o'clock. The CHAIRMAN said, it might be well to announce that the Conference was open to the public, as spec tators and hearers, though not as speakers or voters. He mentioned that in order that, through the press, it might go forth to the public. He had reason to believe that many gentlemen who were absent yesterday would have attended the meeting, had they not thought that some process of ticket getting would be necessary to secure their admission.—(Hear, hear.) He wished also to announce, that they would that day be occupied ix endeavouring to convey to the public a just though it must be a very faint idea of the sufferings which were now felt in the manufacturing districts of this country. It was doubtless tedious and fatiguing to hear hpur after hour the reiteration of misery from the mouths of the various Deputies, but it was a most im portant part of their duty. Nothing would act upon the public mind and the public sympathy so strongly as the honest representation of deep and unmerited distress.— (Hear, hear.) Many gentlemen had yesterday expressed an anxious desire that the meeting should proceed to the discussion of the remedy to be provided tor the suffer ings of the people ; and as it was desirable that every gentleman should have an opportunity of expressing his opinions on this subject it had been arranged that until two o'clock the meeting should be engaged in hearing general statements of distress, and that atter that time they should proceed to the consideration of remedies, when any gentleman would have an opportu nity of expressing his sentiments.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. Dr. B•unner had received some letters from the country, which he would read to the meeting before the regular business commenced. Before he sat down he begged to suggest to the meeting a topic of congratula tion, namely, that the Times newspaper, whose blame was praise, after being so long silent upon their proceedings, had that morning done them the honour of abusing them. The Rev. Mr. BONNER then read the following let ters : My dear Sir—l have just time before'the post goes, to write you two or three lines. I am just returned from Dudley, and I find they are now getting as bad off as their neighbours ; two tradesmen (both extensive businesses), one a draper, and the other a grocer, have closed to-day, and the Sheriff's-officer told a friend he had eight writs to serve yesterday. While I have been from home, considerable parties of the colliers and miners have called to solicit charity ; they come in bodies of seven or eight, and will not go without relief. The consequence has been a meeting of a few gentlemen, and just now Mr. Richard Thompson end Mr. William Bowen called for my signature to a memorial to the Board of Guardians and Poor-law Commissioners to relax the In-door relief clause, and give more liberal out-door relief immediately I It is signed by about 100 tradesmen already. Mr. Thompson said—" We are in a most alarming state, and if something is not done, the men will take it where they can find it! !' So many have been with Mr. Pratt, the Relieving-officer, and they are so de- tPrmined in their demands, he has to-day been obliged to have three of the constables at his door to protect him, and keep the people quiet. You may tell them in London, if this neighbourhood once rises, the food-tax will come off, and bring everything else with it. Excuse haste ; but twenty-four hours have advanced events in this neighbourhood, and another twenty-four hours may do something more. Yours very truly, R 0 ERT BEW. Bilston, July ts, 1842, Half past eight o'clock, P.M. Dear Friend,—You will be surprised, no doubt at receiving a letter from me, you having left the town so lately, but the distress of this town and neighbourhood is increasing so rapidly, that I thought a few lines would not be thought amiss. Since you left, Mr. Riley's three furnaces are put out of blast, so that the unemployed have much increased, and the town is inundated with starving people. Yesterday they surrounded the Reliev ing -officer's house for help, to such a degree, that it was thought necessary to procure the help of all the constables to keep the peace. lam glad, however, to be able to inform you that. nothing serious has yet occurred, except it be the alarm which such scenes are calculated to inspire. You will see by the enclosed address to the Guardians, that the town is doing all they can to meet the distress and to keep the people from actual starvation ; but this can only be tempo rary. To soothe their minds, they have been informed that a deputation i 3 gone to London to press upon the Government the necessity of repealing ,the Corn and Provision-laws, and to open the ports to free trade. Surely this is not too much to ask when a nation is starving from dear food and scarcity of employment. Hoping you and the Deputation every success, I remain, Dear Sir, your's truly, Bilston, July 6,1842. G. BARRON. The following was the address to the Board of Guar dians : TO THE WOLVERHAMPTON BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Gentlemen, We, the undersigned inhabitants or rate payers of the township of Bilston, truly aware of the very great distress produced among the working classes of the district, by the unparalleled stagnation of trade, especially the coal and iron trades, feel it our duty to urge upon the Board of Guar dians, in the strongest terms we can, the necessity of affording a liberal out-door relief to the unemployed and their families, during the continuance of the present depression. We cannot but feel deeply the lamentable condition into which numberless poor families in the township are at this moment plunged, a condition very cl , isely bordering upon actual starvation ; and we therefore sign this memorial in testimony of our willingness to bear the burden of any extraordinary rates which the liberality we now urge upon the Board may occasion. Bilston, July 5, 1842. This address was signed by the leading Conservatives in the town, gentlemen of the highest respectability, bankers, magistrates, and other persons a weight and influence in the town, Mr. G. BEAcos requested to be informed whether any communication had been received from Sir IL Peel or the Duke of Sussex? Mr. G. THOMPSON replied that no communication had as yet been received either from his Royal Highness or the Prime Minister. The Rev. W. FERGUSON, of Bicester, then rose to ad dress the meeting upon the condition of his own district. From the inquiries which he had made, as well as from his own personal observation, he was convinced that the distress of the country was not confined to Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, or in short, to the whole of the manufacturing districts, but that it extended equally to the rural districts. The best field-labourers in his own neighbourhood received about Gs. per week ; that was the average wages, including lost time. The condition of the poor in general was most painful to witness ; the privations they endured were incredible. On entering the house of a poor man a few days since, he found that all that the family had to sit upon was a stone. There were no beds in the house, and the father of the family was without a shirt. On calling a second time, he found the poor woman, who was the mother of the family, pouring cold water upon mouldy bread, and when he gave them a trifle she thanked him, and said she had been praying all day to God to put it into the heart of some person to give them half a dozen potatoes to keep them from dying. It was his belief, that the distress which prevailed so universally was mainly to be attri buted to the present Corn-laws. He would thus define the onward march of the ruin to which this country seemed to be hastening :—positive, Corn-laws ; compara• Live, starvation ; superlative, death.—(Hear, hear.) Let them reverse this present system, and they might then adopt the following motto :—positive, free-trade ; com parative, comtnercial prosperity ; su p er l at i ve, un i versa l peace. The monopolists could not say that the distress was partial, for it extended 0 every part of the country, —to die agricultural, no less than to the manufacturing, districts. Mr. SYDNEY SMITH begged leave to int er p ose f or a moment, for the purpose of reading a Report which had been communicated to him by a friend, and which he had been particularly struck with. It was a Report which had been put into his hands by the Secretary of the Uxbridge Anti-Corn-law Association. It had been drawn up by an individual who did not wish to give his name, so complete was the reign of terror in that neigh bourhood ; but it was well calculated to show that deep distress prevailed in an agricultural district, even in the vicinity of the metropolis. Mr. Smith then proceeded to read the following communication :--- Uxbridge, Middlesex. Generally speaking, the trade is exceedingly depressed, all loudly complaining, more or less, of the alarming prospects, but a very small proportion may be said to be doing even tolerably well. One grocer, on being questioned said—" Where I used to take 20!., Ido not take 5/." Another said—" I used to be able to make a comfortable living for my family, but now I cannot make ends meet." The Metropolitan police not having been extended to Uxbridge above a year or two, no return can be made. 1835, bricklayers' wages, 1/. 2s. ; 1842, 1/. 2s. In the former year good employ and many at work. Where sixteen found full employ in 1835, not more than four or five scantily in 1842 ; average earnings less by 3s. or 43. 1 835, tailors from 11. 1/. weekly, to 11. 4s. 6d. ; full work for many hands. 1842, wages same ; not the same employ ; not more than one-third of the hands employed ; and those, through not having full work, have a difference in their incomes of from 4s. 6d. to 6s. or 7s. weekly. 1833, carpenters' wages, 11. 2s. 184 same when in full work. Average employment as compared with 1835 about the same as brickl a y e r s . 'N um ber of hands employed in buildings, as carp en t ers , b r i c kl ayers, & c ., in 1836, 177 ; in 1842, 76 ; showing a falling off of 101 individuals. Every other kind of employ is proportionally diminished. 1835, Shoemakers and cobblers from 1 Is. to 15s. weekly ; in 1842 from 9s. to 15s. The latter sum is, however, rarely earned, through lack of employ. The average may be taken at from is. to 135., the nature of the employ making the differ ence. Very few have anything to do at the beginning of the week. _ . Airicu'tural labourers from 9s. to 12s. ; during hay-time and harvest from 15s. to 18s., but this is only for a short time, and it seldom reaches the full amount because of deductions for rainy days. S ome wee k s they are glad to earn 45., and this has to su pp or t a w if e w i t h th r ee or four children. This class of p eop l e su ff er extreme l y; n o class more so in Engl an d. Durin g th e w i n t er , i n i ts mos t extreme state, some are for days with ou t ti re . I nstances h ave been known last winter where families h ave b een w i t h out fi re for three weeks together, and many go without food for days. If it had not been for the charit a bl y -di sposed last winter many must have been starvtd ts, death. The peasant seems to look at it as a matter of course, and resigns himself to it accordingly. He is frequently driven to poaching, plundering hen-roosts, gardens, and orchards. His first child is brought into the w orld b y charit y , its first clothes are g i ven by charity ; as it grows u p , and is able to run about, lie is ta ug h t to go out an d beg the remains of the tea and coffee-pot ; an d , i f a girl, is freq uen tly driven to prostitution in order to g e t a morsel of bread. It is no uncommon thing for parents to p erm i t their daughters to be guilty of unchastity for hire —nay, t o sanction it, and receive the p roceeds of their children's sh ame. Ile dare not comP laih* The farmer and the owner of the soil have him entirely in their power. Should he speak, there is either the tread-mill or the union. In 1835 the quartcrn loaf of 41b. 6oz. sold for 6d. and 7il. ; in 1842, 9d. for the 41b. loaf. In 1835, beef from sd. to 7d. ; mutton, 4d. to 6id. In 1842, beef from Bd. to 11d . ; mutton, 7d. to 9u. An intelligent joiner, in contrasting his earnings and the price of provisions in 18:05 with the present year, states, that to make up the difference it requires 14s. or 155., placing everything on au equality. Mr. G. TuomrsoN said that lie wished to read a por tion of a letter he ha.d received from Wales, which -would knd to confirm the statements of the Rev. Mr. Fergu- , son, and Mr. S. Smith. Mr. Thompson then read the following communication:— _ Maisypandy. July 4, 1842. The state of tho poor is certainly in this part getting worse weekly. The markets are rising, particularly corn. Barley sells now for 2/. 2s. per quarter; wheat, 31. 15s. ; oatineal, 41. ; and the highest average wages now, in the harvest, amongst the agriculturists is 9s. 6d. per week, upon their own victuals. Poor-rates are increasing in a frightful manner, and the country is fast falling. On the other side I send you a statement which was laid be fore us in the Dolgelley Board of Guardians later, concerning the parish of Dolgelley. It contains about 4,200 inhabitants. A parish vestry was lately held to hear appeals against paying poor-rates on rateable premises. Such vestry uedto be held every year. The appellants all pleaded their inability, on ac.• count of poverty. So many applied this year. The books for the last four years were inspected, and the following was the result sent to the Board In 1838 was excused to the amount £42 0 0 1839 . 57 0 0 1840 14 1841 « 1842 Such statement plainly proves that this part, as well as others, is fast sinking. Wool is almost unsaleable here, and the mountain farmers are fast falling, as they almost all are obliged to buy corn, above half the quantity they consume; and thus tithe (being commuted for) is rising, because the corn is rising; the wool and lambs are falling in price and the tithe rising ; and the corn they buy fur their own consumption also rising, which you plainly see falls doubly on the poor hard-working farmer. What? Oh, what will become of us, if the present inhuman laws continue to exist. G. EVANS. W. NELSTHORPE, Esq. Mayor of the borough of Stockport, was then called upon by the Chairman, and addressed the meeting. as follows :—ln endeavouring to lay before this meeting a statement of the distressed condition of our borough, I must say that I feel myself quite inadequate to the task. But this meeting may rest assured of one thing, that it is impossible for me or any other individual, to paint it in too black colours. I will endeavour, as briefly as possible, to give you a general statement of our condition, and then leave to the hands of Mr. Foster, the Chairman of the Board of Guardians, a more minute account. At the latter end of last year the distress of our borough had arrived at such a pitch that the charitable, and those that had it in their power, could no longer stand still and look on without making!an effort, at least, to mitigate the distress that sur rounded them; a public meeting was held, and a subscrip tion entered into, and we raised amongst ourselves, and from gentlemen at a distance, a sum exceeding 4,0001. I ought to state that we received a considerable sum from the Manufacturers' Relief Committee in London ; a short Report of the condition we were ; then in will be found in the following circular : Stozkport, December, 1841. The borough of Stockport, the working population of vk hich is engaged almost exclusively in this manufacture, has suffered in common with other towns, from its general and long-conti nued depression. . . . .. . The distress so occasioned has been increased to an extent, it is believed, beyond that of any other town, by special and pe culiar circumstances of a local influence. We allude to the entire stoppage of some of the largest esta blishments in the town and neighbourhood, by which several thousand persons have been thrown out of employment, who still remain without any prospect of being able to return to it. Of the establishments at work, a great part are so only par tially; and the working of short time (that is of four days per week) has been continued to a greater or less extent since May last. Upwards of one-third of the horse-power in the town and neighbourhood is unemployed, which, if at work, would give employment to more than 4,000 persons. It is believed that there are, altogether, about 5,000 operatives of various trades unable to.obtain employment. The consequences of this suspension of labour are extensive loss and suffering among all classes dependent upon trade, and un exampled distress and privation among the working population. This distress, heightened as it now is by tLe- sevet ity of the weather, has arrived at a pitch of which it is impo.sible to convey any adequate idea by mere statistical information. The Poor-rates have regularly increased, and are now become a serious drain upon the diminished resources of the compara tively few who are able to pay them. Families, two or three together, are crowding into one house, or leaving their cottages for cellars; some are quitting their native land ; numbers, having exchanged all but the last ar ticles of their wearing apparel for the means of sustaining life, are on the verge of destitution ; honest men, willing to work, are compelled with their entire families to become street men dicants, or to live, day by day, on the precarious charity of their neighbours ; and besides an increase of disease arising in a great measure from a deficiency of food, many, it is to be feared, are literally starving to death. Of 15,823 individuals inhabiting 2,965 houses, lately visited under the direction of a Committee appointed for the purpese, 1,204 only were found to be fully employed, 2,866 partially emyloyed, and 4,148, able to work, were wholly without em ployment. The average weekly income of the above 15,823 persons was Is. 4 3 / 4 d. each. The average weekly wages of those fully employed were 7s. 6 1 / t d. each. The average weekly wages of those partially employed were 4s, 7 1 4 d. each. On behalf of the Committee, we are, yours most respectfully, WILLIAM NELSTROP, Mayor, Treasurer. SAML. R. CARRINGTON JOHN D. FERNLEY, Hqn. Secretaries. And since then the distress has increased, and none of the mills then standing have been set to work ; in fact, Gentlemen, there is not the (I had almost said) least pos sibility, for our poor-rates have gone on increasing to such an extent that no man with capital and with a grain of common sense, would come to a town like ours where the rates are likely to be this year, eight shillings in the pouud almost on the rack rent. In April last, after being in operation thirteen weeks, and the funds were almost ex hausted, it was found that we have distributed relief as follows : AVERAGE OF THE ENTIRE OPERATION OF THE RELIEF COMMITTEE. Families relieved, 3,143 ; individuals, 73,314 ; average weekly income per head, 9d. 2 -10ths ; relief given in provisions, 2081. Bs. 10d. ; average relief per family, Is. 3d. 2-3ds average relief per head, 3d. 2-3ds; income and relief per head, Is. 26-30ths. That Committee have ceased their opera ions for want of funds, and left their books 13,161 individuals urgently requiring relief. Since 1836, our poor-rate has gone on increasing to an alarming amount ; and, ex cept there be a speedy alteration in things, not only will the working class be all paupers, but the middle class, whom they are mainly dependent upon, will be paupers also. The reduction of rents of all kinds of property is very considerable. Public-house property was once considered almost the best—if not the very best— u person could have, but what is the case nuw : Public-houses in the borough of Stockport, 136. Of this number nine are at present empty, and many of the tenants of those yet inhabited are offering their stocks and fixtures at enormous losses, in order to free themselves from the rents and taxes, which all the money they draw will not enable them to pay ; and yet the rents of a great portion of inns and public houses in Stockport have been reduced in many instances more than 30 per cent., in some instances 50 per cent. ; but great as are the reductions above stated te nants cannot be procured. In 1839 there were in Stock port 233 beer-houses, and at present there are 104. Of pro vision, and other description of shops v‘ith:n the borough, there are, untenanted, 149, and 14 closed as shops, though still in habited. It is supposed that there are nearly 300 houses and shoi.s empty of one description or other. In consequence of the distressed state of trade a reduction of wages is taking place almost unparalleled, and I fear must go on till the manufacturing population in the cotton districts are reduced to a condition from which they can never recover themselves. Gentle men, is this a state of things that ought to exist ? I am sure yod will all say no. I thought it my duty to come here and make these statements. I wish the country to know, I wish Sir R. Peel to know, I wish her Majesty's Ministers to know, that the inha bitants of our borough have endured their unparalleled distress with unparalleled patience. Whether that is to be attributed to a sense of the kindly feelings which their fellow-citizens have mani fested toward them and to their efforts to miti gate their distress ; or whether it is to be attributed to the interposition of Divine Providence ; or whether it is to be attributed to the fact, that the poor are so de pressed physically that they have silently endured their sufferings, it is not for me to say. There is, however, a point beyond which human endurance cannot go ; and unless some means are taken to relieve the dis tress of the poor of Stockport, I wish the country to know, I wish Sir Robert Peel to know, I wish the Government to know, that I cannot, and will not, be responsible for the consequences which may follow from the present state of things.—(Cheers.) 'e CHAIItMAN here recommended that gentlemen who might address the meeting would point out, as far as might be in their power, the beneficial re sults which they had reason to know would follow from a repeal of the Corn-laws. He believed that im mense effect had been produced by the statement made yesterday by Mr. Ibbotson, of Sheffield, that if the Corn-laws were now repealed he would instantly take on 500 new hands, and that he would pledge himself in fourteen days there should not be a workman in Sheffield out of employment. Such statements„ . as these were most valuable, because they intended to show that a repeal of the Corn-laws would revive British industry. Mr. FOSTER, the chairman of the Board of Guardians of Stockport, then proceeded to address the meeting as follows:—I have been fur some time the chairman of the Board of Guardians in Stockport, and I have collected certain facts in connection with the administration of the relief of the poor . in that borough, a por tion of which I shall lay before the meeting In 1839 a rate of ls. Bd. in the pound realized upwards of 5,000/. In 1842 a rate of 2s. in the pound realised only about 3,6001. If we say that in 1839 the rate had been laid for 25., there would have been received 6,0001. We at once perceive that there has been a defalcation in 2,4001. I have before stated ono rate only of that the average of the expenditure of the poor for Stockport, ending March, 1841, was 3,1241. ; ;the deficiency of one rate only for the present vear is equal to the whole expenditure, excepting 7241. The amount of expenditure on behalf of the poor in 1841, as before stated, was 3,124/. The amount expended in the quarter ending March 25, 1842, was 2,4371. Os. sd. ; this will, if that scale of expenditure continues, make an expenditure equal to 9,748/. Is. Bd. ; being an increase in one year of 6,624/. Is. Bd., besides the amount raised by private subscription. In the year 1839 a rate of ls. Bd. in the pound was sufficient to meet all the demands on the overseers as regards the poor and other rates. The expenditure of the present year will, if' the present lamentable circumstances continue to prevail, re quire rates of Bs. in the pound, being nearly fivefold. It has been pretty accurately ascertained that the amount of reduction in wages has amounted to 6,000/ a week, or a total of upwards of 312,0001. This effect alone is sufficient to show the extreme depression that must exist among the shopkeepers ; 6,000/. a week wholly with drawn from circulation. Building property. has fearfully depreciated in value. A few instances may suffice : A property which was sold a few years ago, say three or four, for 2,400/., was resold a few weeks since for 1,0051. Three shops, whose rents amounted together to 1451. with au incumbrance of about 351., , leaving nett rent 115/. per ann. w as sold'fbr 1,305/. Icould multiply proofs of this de.. P * reciation I have before stated that destitution and distress , • , i$ exteriaing in Stockport at the present time. It 11,s also much increased in other parts of oar Union. In Hyde district, it has extended; in Hazelgrare district, where the cases to the Board averaged about six or eight a- week, in the freteiit week - it amounted to seventy cases, I ow . ng to the depression of the silk trade. The send ments of the Board of Guardians may be gathered from the following document—it is of a recent date: — Ordered—That this Board has made provision to the utmost of its power to meet the extraordinary pressure resulting from the distressed state of the trade in this district. That the Board can meet the caigencies of the next quarter, but, unless some early and efficient relief be afforded, either by the revival of trade, or the finding employment for able-bodied paupers, or the removal of the surplus population from this district, or by some other means, this Board will not and cannot be answerable for the future raisieg of the ' rates necessary to meet the demands on the union. Every rate reauces the number of rate. payers able to pay, and the pres sure on the employers of labour in the cotton trade continually increasing, has a constant tendency, by breaking such em ployers, to lessen the employment in the market, and increase the number of paupers. What the result may be this Board cannot tell, but its anticipations of the future, should no early relief be afforded, are anything but favourable.: The sentiments of our Board as to the cause of distress have been submitted to the Poor-law Commissioners. They are attributed to the high price of food and the growing decline in our manufactures. In that opinion I entirely coincide ; and I believe that the only remedy that can be suggested is a total repeal of all laws of monopoly—of all class legislation.—s(Cheers.) lie had heard it asked how long it would be, supposing the Corn-laws to be repealed, before any relief would be produced ? An intelligent individual of the borough to which he belonged had said to him, " Repeal the Corn laws, and the town will be prosperous in a month." Mr. L. HAYWARD (of Liverpool) said they had heard many important statements of the distress prevailing in the ma nulact tiring districts, and of the poverty, wretchedness, and destitution which might be found there, arising from the Corn-laws. They had also heard accounts of similar distress from the agricultural districts ; but he had to tell them that the same evils pervaded the largest and most affluent commercial districts of the country. Liverpool itself, wherever they might go, was full of evils, which were identically the same. Mr. H. then read extracts from letters on the subject, the first being from a Mr. Benjamin Parry, residing, in Liverpool, describing the dreadful want of employment that prevailed in that town. Some had been out of work ever since Christmas last, and had been compelled to paWn and sell every thing, being now in a state of com plete destitution, hoping for and expecting a remedy. This letter (continued Mr. H.) conveyed a correct idea of the distress that prevailed—it was terrific. He had felt it is his own bosom, and his own daughter had sympa thised and visited those who were in this state of suffer ing. She had visited one of the wards of Liverpool, con taining 20,000 inhabitants, and had seen greater misery and destitution than had been here described. Another letter was from a shopkeeper in the Vauxhall road, dated July Ist, and it stated that his receipts were only one- third of what they were, while the pour-rates were fast increasing. The effixt of this distress among the people was, that as they could not buy food it was impossible they could purchase much clothing ; and he only wished that they would re flect on the importance of this fact. How much must the sum thus withdrawn a nount to ?---(1 - lear.) Why, if each individual family among the poor — and they amounted to five trillions—if each family only expended 2s. a-week less in manufactured articles than they usually did (and they must have withdrawn more than this) it would amount to 25,000,0001. per annum. — (Hear, hear.) 'That was the amount withdrawn from the consumption of manufactured goody in England ; And just let them reflect on this, for it refuted a fal lacy that had frequently been put forward by no less a person than the Premier of England—the head of the Government. He had told them that the repeal of the Corn-laws would not remedy • the evil—that the Corn laws were not the cause of the evil. But if those laws caused a decrease in the consumption of manufactures to the amount of 25,000,00 t 1. a year, let him ask them if they were not a sufficient and adequate cause of the distress.— (Cheers.) He wanted these plain facts to go forth to the public. Some might say that he had assumed the sum of 2s. for each family as the amount they had ceased to expend, but he would ask their common sense, whether it was not clear as the snn at noon-day, that they could not have withdrawn a less sum than that for consumption. He would appeal to the shop keepers throughout England, whether in the agricultu ral or manufacturing districts, and the reports they would give in, all over the kingdom, would be that their business had fallen off in some cases one-third, in many one-half, and in some two-thirds.(Hear, hear.) Was not this a sufficient proof that the consumption that went on when they were in a flourishing condition, no longer con tinued. Surely it was. He would now allude to another fallacy which had been put forth by Sir R. Peel—he might almost call it the base assertion—that the Curn-laws were not the cause of the distress and depression. He says that there are other causes at work, and that machinery was among them. In asserting this, he believed Sir R. Peel was stating what he knew to be false.—(Cheers.) He knew it to bo a perfect fallacy which the public at large had given in to ; if the facts of the case were pro perly stated, it was impossible to say that machi nery was the cause of the evils. Let them fairly grapple with this fallacy, for it was time to dissi. pate it. Lancashire in 1801, contained only 600,000 inhabitants ; by the ordinary increase of 14 per cent. it would now have been 1,100,000, but it was actually 1,600,000. To what could be ascribed this accession of 500,000 inhabitants, but to the fact that wages had been higher in Lancashire than in any other part of the kingdom. They found in Lancashire, inhabitants from Scotland, Ireland, and the most fruitful counties of England. Why have they come from distant parts of the kingdom to sojourn in Lanca shire—was it not the greater amount of wages that were given there?—(Hear, hear.) And how had they been enabled to give these higher wages, simply from the amount of employment afforded, for that was the question.—(Hear, hear.) The increase of the inhabitants could only be ascribed to their having the best machinery in the world. To say that ma chinery was the cause of distress was a libel on the benevolence of Providence, who had given man the power to clothe the people at the cheapest rate. Machinery nut only increased em ployment in the immediate locality where it was si tuated, it gave every man something to spare to expend in something else ; and, if he could state the amount of this indirect increase of employ ment arising from this cause, he believed it would be greater than the direct amount he had alluded to. No longer, then, let this fallacy, which Sir R. Peel, in his abominable wickedness, had set forth, deceive mankind. Let us assert, and let it go forth, that machinery is one of the greatest blessings that God Almighty ever vouchsafed to the world.—(Loud cheers.) He wished particularly to impress these views on their minds, because he knew that the aristocracy had sent out emissaries from one part of the kingdom to the other to denounce machinery. He knew they had not spared their purses in this respect ; they said, " let us divide the workmen from their employers, and then we shall come off victorious." But as it had been said, even " the wrath of God shall praise him," so would the wicked dealings of these malignant men bring destruction upon their own heads. —(ilear, hear.) They had sent out their emissaries 'to denounce machinery, to speak against capital, to endeavour to encourage the labourer against the employer ; but, in doing so, they had also countenanced them in promulgating the principle that every man had a right to the suffrage, and that was a truth which would never die.—(Loud cheers.) They would find this, that it would strike at the very rout of class legislation, which was the misery of the country.

The greater part of the morning was occupied in disposing of cases connec ted with the Mint. POLICE INTELLIGENCE BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Robert Benson, a genteel looking young man, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, charged with having stabbed, with a penknife, Gearge Harrington. The prosecutor stated that he was passing through Tavistcck street this morning, between two and three o'clock, with a friend, when he saw the prisoner arid another young man talking to two females. As the prosecutor passed, he made some remark, and the prisoner run after him, and said, you are one of the right sort, come and have something to drink. He laid hold of the prosecutor by the arm and appeared to be very drunk. The young man who was with the pri soner came up and took hold of the prisoner. They tried to get into the Sheridan Knowles' Tavern, in Bridge's-street, but they werenot admitted. The prisoner then took out a penknife and flourished it in the air. Witness thinking this was mere brava vado, took no notice of it. The companion of the prisoner took hold of him by the hand. The prisoner still flourished the knife, and the witness, thinking that something serious might result, inter fered, and the prisoner immediately stabbed him in the breast. The prisoner was given into custody, and witness went to the hospital, where his wound was dressed. The wound was not serious. A witness was called, who corroborated this evidence. The prisoner denied the charge, and said that he had no knife in his possession, and called a young man who was with him, who stated that the prisoner had no knife in his possession. Witness went with the prisoner to the station house, but the officer would not admit him to see his friend. He was walking away when a person called Deaf Burke came up to him and said that the person who had been stabbed was his friend, and if the witness would pay 5/. the matter would be made up. Witness replied that if the prisoner thought proper he might pay the money, and he ( witness) would go and see him about it, but the officer would not admit him to the sta tion-house. The former witness was then recalled, who persisted in swearing that there was a knife in the hand of the prisoner when the blow was struck. Mr. HA LL fined the prisoner 51., or in default of payment to be committed to prison for one month. The fine was paid. UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.) ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. OF AN ACTRESS.— Catherine Stanley, an actress, was charged with attempting to drown herself in the Thames. A waterman stated that between two and thtee o'clock that morning the defendant hired his boat, and wanted to be rowed up to Battersea. As they were going alone the defendant cx. claimed that she would drown herself, and was proceeding to throw herself into the river, when the witness seized her by the arm, and held her until he got ashore. He then gave her into custody. She said that she did not intend to destroy herself, and accounted for her being out so late by saying that she was at a supper party. She further stated that she was a married woman, that she was an actress, but was not living with her husband. The Magistrate held her to bail, and in default she was locked up, Margaret Jones, the woman charged on the preceding day with stabbing her husband, was brought up, he being sufficiently' recovered to give his evidence. In th e course of the examina tion he sa id th a t the wound in his side was much better, and he added that he gave his wife great provocation. The prisoner was held to bail. —=— Viscount and Viscountess Camden are expected to-day A t Gainsborough House from the Continent. AVERAGES OF THE LAST SIX WEEKS. Week ending WHEAT. BARLEY.'

A meeting of the preprietors of the Rose Down Mining Company was also held at the same office, when, in consequence of the unfavour able report of Mr. Johnson, who stated that on examining the work, no SUCC2FS could be expected without new machinery, an outlay which could not be expected from the Company, resole. tions for dissolving the Company and disposing of its property were come to. The expenditure from November, 1839, to May, 1842, amounted to 1,9251. 3s. lid., during which time the ore sold amounted to 490/. 3s. 10d., and there was a ba tance of 681. 15s. 2d. against the Company.
