The shop s in • business the lin e of procession were all closed, and was totally suspended. Vast crowds were also congregated on each side of the streets through '_ ll o eh the procession was to pass, but, as we have said th e peace not the slightest attempt was made to break 4 7 Peace, and not an accident occurred, if we except ulan u°Y, B being run over in Bedford-square by a gentle- Wo unde g d i g.

P I leprocession then passed on over Westminster b, 'lnge with the intention of waiting for the answer to . „e petition opposite Bethlehem Hospital. On arriving nere, however, the leaders thought (and with good e tton) that the s p ace wou l d be too small, and went , ° , ll to Kenningto n C ommon. The first part of the proc ession arrived th ere a b out h alf-past one o'clock, ; I t ` i ! op till three they were pouring in, in one continued 1, to which there appeared then to be no end. Jey then formed into a quadrangle, and were waiting d_tously for the deputation. There their officers ad tt_ ressed them, advising them to depart peaceably, and oautred that M the course of the evening Lord Mel answer would be transmitted to them. The p authorities have made every arrangement reserving the peace in that neighbourhood. Police of the L division were all ready in the mraterloo-road, to go out at a moment's notice. With Mur raY, the magistrate of Union-Hall office, Was i nea rly one hundred special constables, ok e t r t the P hilanthrophic Institution along with four nieati°f dragoons, who kept up a constant commu with with the troops. Three troops of dragoons, puireral pieces of artillery, and a numerous band th e ' c i e nte; were stationed in the livery stables of nei g h ') ( nlis" at Kennington, and other places in the t a ll y ourhcod ; they were, however, kept most care raolt out a view.

TRADES' UNIONS. 1 41 "a l Co ll , '', Council of what is called " The Grand 4 ide r , ' ha s the°ated Trades' Union of Great Britain and r oil , th e , es lir ght. it fitting in what they justly con ; e,„"! , !or the N critical point in their progesson, to pu con arc of v_einstrnetion and information of the f t r . ades, an t o s pted i n ° ,prehrninary measures which they wish to be ) s h o e . ttr e to rJE.er.to establish their rights and liberties, and I " t r i All " e In!lustrious classes the full reward of their all e u Parties, they observe, are crying out :what kr o _ l ;neqi vo i n . o_ do ? and they can no longer evade giving ICalt"l.loration ans.wer to the question. No permanent taTied h„°! their condition is, they now believe, to be is.pport'oyl subscribing their hard-earned funds for ts, and they, ' n ose who resist the oppression of the eapi therefore propose that other plans should be adopted to accomplish these objects. What, in the opinion of the Council, these plans should be, they enume rate as follows :___. _ _ " I. The best means of creating a new market for the productions of useful industry, by enabling the working classes themselves to be consumers of the necessaries, con veniences, and luxuries of life, as well as producers of them. " This can only be done by their forming arrangements to prevent the profits of their toil from going out of the circle of the productive classes into that of the unproduc tive classes. For this end, each trade society must open shops and offices for dealing with each other, and profitably employing their unemployed : no unionist to lay out his money at any other places than these, for all the articles they can supply. " Provision being the first Viing needful, let the Bakers' Union, in the first instance, open shops where all Unionists can be supplied with bread, to have it baked for them. Butchers' shops might be opened on the same principle ; as also gardeners', cheesemongers', and other provision dealers'. The tailors and shoemakers, and various other Trades' Unions, may also open shops for the sale of their articles in the same manner; and it is to be hoped that the building trades likewise might soon begin to exercise their calling in a manner much more profitable and grati fying to themselves, and much more beneficially for their order, than they have ever yet been enabled to do. "By these means the producers of real wealth will be enabled to keep the greater part of the circulating medium in their own hands ; and thereby become what the political economists have often tauntingly told them to become, that is, capitalists ; and, consequently, they may give what direc tions to industry they shall think proper, and no longer be slavish supplicants to the upper classes for leave to toil at what prices those classes may choose to offer. Besides, the industrious and useful classes will then become what they ought to be, namely, a distinct people from the idle and useless. " Moreover, this fact must not be lost sight of—namely, that any attempts to permanently better ourselves by a ge neral strike for an advance of wages, unless it be in con nection with the above arrangements, must prove fruitless; or if we should succeed in raising the price of labour by such means (which we could only do by a very desperate and dangerous struggle) the demand for labour will directly decrease, and the profit-mongers' prices will increase in proportion as our labour becomes more valuable ; conse quently the labourers would not be benefitted one tittle, as, though they got better wages, they would have to pay a higher price for all they consumed through the hands of the profit-monger. They, indeed, might probably become losers by high prices, under such circumstances, as the aristocracy would most likely fly to other countries for a supply of those articles which they now get in England. " The adoption of the plan proposed would undoubtedly force the shopocracy into other and more useful occupa tions, and to cry to government for a reduction of taxation, as their profits would soon dwindle into comparative insig nificance. But that is their business. We must look now to ourselves. It is quite evident that they care very little about us ; nor will they, till they see it their interest to do so. " 2. The next point worthy of our attentive considera tion is as to what are the best means of convincing the government that it can no longer keep us in subjection to their tyrannical system of legislating by brutal force. " It appears to this Council that something might be done for that end in this way. Let every mechanic from this time refuse, under any condition, to manufacture articles known to be for the use of the army or the police : because, in the first place, it is not just, nor longer expe dient, that a few men in power should have the control of these forces in order to carry things their own way against the interests of many ; secondly, because their maintenance is a grievous tax upon the wealth producers, which ought not to be endured ; thirdly, because a standing army is not requisite now to protect us against foreign aggression, as local militias might be substituted for that purpose at very little expense ; and, fourthly, because they ought not to be maintained for the sake of carrying on wars against other nations, as all such wars are downright inhuman folly, robbery, and murder. " It may be said, that Government would supply these forces with what they needed from other countries, if we refused. Then let them. The productive classes would, at least, have the gratification of proving to the world their abhorrence of tyranny ; and the forces themselves would be made sensible of the disrepute in which they were held by their fellowmen of that order from which most of them sprung ; and results favourable to liberty would unques tionably be effected. " As auxiliary to this determination, the building trades should in future refuse to build or repair any more barracks, gaols, prisons, or workhouses ; because a good government will do without all such places of abomination. "3. Means must be devised for raising the self-respect of the labouring population, by instituting lectures and schools ; mechanics' club-houses, coffee-houses, &c. ; to be under their own sole control. "4. The means must be secured for making the public correctly acquainted with the errors, or rather gross igno rance, of the nonproductive classes, by establishing periodi cals for that purpose, and by supporting those newspapers only which advocate the cause of those who produce all the wealth and knowledge of society. " For our own parts, we are fully conscious of our want of experience to do full justice to the great cause which has been intrusted to us : but as none others were supposed, at the time of the election by the delegates, to be better pre pared for this difficult task, we accept it, and have done the best in our power according to our knowledge and abilities, and we will continue thus to act as long as we re main in office. "For the Executive, "JOHN BROWNE, " Member of the Council." Without dwelling on the absurdity of the refusal to ma nufacture the articles consumed by policemen, or remark ing on the naivete of the withholding all assistance towards the erection of prisons, it may be sufficient to observe, that this statement discloses one fact which must be highly satisfactory to all those who wish the present ruinous delu sions of the workmen to be dissipated as speedily as pos sible. The subscription system is a failure, and, whatever may be their numbers, or their influence, they admit that their war against capital, through the means of their ca pital, is at an end. We understand, indeed, that the pay ments even to the Derby unionists have diminished to a trifle, and that in all the great manufacturing districts the system is on the point of being abandoned. The Hall at Birmingham is no longer talked of, for their builder is a bankrupt ; and even the delegates are found wanting, from the lack of funds for the expenses of their journey. Every thing, in fact, indicates that the mania of Unionism is on the wane. We trust, therefore, that no attempt will be made by the Government to prohibit the meetings of those who still cling to the system. Oppressed, or opposed, they might recover strength—neglected, they will perish, from their own weakness. PERTHSHIRE ELECTION. The new writ for the election of a representative for the county of Perth, was received, here, by Mr. Sheriff Mac Neil, last night, who, we believe, is to appoint Tues day the 28th inst. as the day of nomination, and the fol lowing Thursday and Friday, the Ist and 2d May, as the polling days. The canvass has been going on, during the last week, with great spirit, on the part of both candidates. In the course of a few days, Mr. Graham, it is expected, will have finished his circuit of the county, and Sir George Murray, having been a week behind his opponent in starting, will be proportionably later of concluding. So far as their reception by the populace of the country towns is concerned, both candidates seem to be about a par in public favour. The effects of the canvass upon the minds of the actual constituency are not so easily ascertained.— Both parties, of course, speak confidently : the Whi gs, on the ground of their former success, and the inde pendent interest, from the great accession of strength they have received from the ranks of their former op ponents without the loss of one of their old supporters. The latter changes are chiefly among the tenantry, whose good sense and intelligence enable them to divest their minds of prejudices, to which other classes of the constituency are more liable. Among that class of the electors, there is, we understand, a prevalent, but quite erroneous impression, that any exertions on their part would be thrown away, as, even although united, they could be swamped by the village electors. This is a mistake, in which we ourselves once partook ; but the analytical table of the last election, published by Lord Ormelie's party on 24th January, 1833, set the point at rest, as from that document it appears, that while the feuars in that county are stated at 762, the tenants amounted to no less than 1,562, fully double the number of the former.—Perth Courier.) The following case, illustrative of the tyranny of trades' unions, has been communicated to us, with the names of all the parties ; and our readers may rely upon the facts. It affords a striking illustration of the despotic and cruel operation of these irresponsible ochlocrasies :—A. 8., an excellent working shoe maker, from conscientious motives never would join the UniOn. He worked for some time at a house in Fetter-lane, till all the workmen struck, because he was employed and would not combine with them. He then went to another house in the trade, who consented to give him work, if he would keep the knowledge of it from the Union. They found it out, however, and he was consequently deprived of his employ. llele gates from the Union have been sent to him toinduce him to join, as he is known to be a first-rate workman; and they have condescended so far as to inquire of him whether there was anything in the oath which they could alter to meet his views? He still persists, how ever, in his conscientious refusal to join the illicit combination ; and the consequence is, that, although he has been living with his father-in-law, who is a shoemaker, and who employs a few hands, he has not been able to obtain a day's work ; and is now com pelled to leave his father-in-law's roof, as all the men employed by him would otherwise leave Ought such a system as this to be allowed to exist 2-.. Patriot. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of Cumberland left town on Saturday, for his residence at Kew.

A deputation of the salesmen at Smithfield had an interview with Viscount Althorp on Saturday, and presented the resolutions passed at a meeting of their body against the bill now before Parliament " To establish a Cattle Market at Islington." WINDSOR, APRIL 19. His Majesty, after enjoying several hours' ride inhis pony phaeton this day, returned to the Castle through the town, at six o'clock. Her Majesty, on horseback, accompanied by Prince George of Cambridge and her suite, rode out for some time this afternoon. On Wednesday next their Majesties will again leave the Castle and proceed to St. James's, where his Ma jesty will give a banquet to the Knights and Officers of the Most Noble Order of the Garter ; and Thurs day, the Bth of May, is appointed for the dinner given to the Knights of the Orders of the Thistle and St. Patrick. At these banquets the Knights will appear in the splendid collars arid stars of their respective orders. A splendid juvenile ball (as we have before an nounced) will be given by their Majesties on the 24th of May, at St. James's Palace, in honour of the Prin • cess Victoria's birthday.— Windsor Express. APRIL 20. —Their Majesties arrived here about seven o'clock on Friday evening to dinner from town. Prince George of Cambridge and his Preceptor, the Rev. Mr. Wood, also arrived from town. . . His Majesty spent some time yesterday morning with Sir J. Wyatville, viewing the improvements of the entrance from the town to the Castle, and afterwards rode out in his pony phaeton in the Great Park for some hours. The Queen on horseback took an airing through the Great Park to Virginia Waters, accom panied by Prince George of Cambridge.

Russell's Marriage Bill will be abandoned : and that a more satisfactory measure will be intro duced, under sanction of the Government. We have, likewise, the gratification of stating that the other claims of the Dissenters, exclusive of the separation of church and state, will be conceded.—Colchester Gazette. Lord Althorp's bill for the abolition of church rates will be introduced this day. It is intended to keep the churches in substantial repair at the national expense, and to leave all that is ornamental, or not absolutely necessary for the maintenance of the build ings, to be supplied by voluntary contribution from those who frequent the churches. The sum requisite to keep up the buildings will not, it is supposed, ex ceed 200,0001. per annum. A number of the Privy Council have been summoned to attend a committee of their Lordships on the 24th instant, to hear counsel in support of the pe tition of the London University for a charter. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishop of London, the Cabinet Ministers, the Lord Chief Justices of the King's Bench and Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron, and the Chief Secretary for Ire land, have received summonses. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF KILLALA.— This venerable prelate expired on Tuesday last, full of years and honour, to the inconsolable affliction of his family and friends, and to the irreparable loss of an extensive district, which will be deprived of the spi ritual advantages of his precepts and example, and of the many temporal benefits accruing from his constant residence in his diocese, and the outlay of his income in works of benevolence and charity amongst a needy and necessitous population. A serious accident occurred yesterday to a lady in Whitehall, in crossing to Downing-street, by a lady riding at a rapid rate, followed by her groom, by which both ladies were precipitated with the greatest violence, and received, in their,fall, the most serious injuries. They were both taken to the surgery of Mr. M' Carrie, of Parliament-street, by whose prompt and skilful treatment they were enabled to be removed, but one of the ladies continues in considerable danger. THE PARKS.—The Parks were much more numerously attended yesterday than they have been any day during the present season. The General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, the Ramona, from Hamburg, arrived off the Custom House yesterday afternoon, April 20. FUNERAL OF TWO TRADES' UNIONISTS. —Yesterday afternoon William Armstrong, a member of the " Trades' Confederated Union," was buried in Lambeth old churchyard, having been carried thereto from his residence near St. Paul's Cathedral. He was followed by nearly two hundred of the unionists be longing to his lodge, walking two abreast, and each having on his left breast a rosette formed of black and white crape, tastefully disposed. The men were for the most part well dressed, and behaved with a decorum becoming the solemn occasion. The deceased was a carpenter by trade. Another deceased " brother," belonging to the Builders' Union, was removed from Blackfriars-road for burial in Spafields ground. The procession was similarly conducted to the previous one, but the attendance was more numerous, consisting, besides his own lodge, of "brothers" belonging to se veral others. A few (lays ago a sow, the property of Mr. J. Thomason, of Bridgnorth, furrowed a most singu lar living animal, after ten fine pigs. Its body re sembles that of a pig, although the feet are cloven considerably higher; but the most remarkable part is the head, which is completely an elephant's in minia ture, except having no eyes nor the vestige of any. The trunk is about two inches and a half long, with an aperture at the end, and its mouth immediately underneath. Two very broad ears grow out from near the bottom of the neck. There is not the least sign of hair upon any part of the body, it being quite smooth. The animal lived only a few minutes._ Shrewsbury Chronicle, LITERATURE. OXI 01? D IN 1834.—London, 1834. We have just perused the first part of a little poem under this title. It is written with spirit, point, and elegance, after the fashion of Pope's Epistles. Perhaps there is too frequent a recurrence of antithesis in the lines, and here and there too much stilted versification ; but as a whole, the poem does credit to the writer's abilities. The couplet marked in italics has all the satiric point of Pope : Oxford beware ! thy tears will come too late— The bear's embrace is deadly as his hate. Oh ! monstrous union !—could not Arms and Arts By sep'rate paths pursue their destin'd parts— Must the weak maid with fatal fondness bow, And play the harlot to incestuous vow? Like 111essalina in her charms decline With pleasures sated, yet inflam'd with wine : Could no soft passion tickle her dead ear, No suitor rouse her,—but a grenadier? Art thou so fall'n, proud beauty ? was there none Of all thy race esteem'd a worthy son O'er thy decrepit dotage to preside, And veil thy wrinkles with a filial pride ? Not one thy care maternal to repay Now thy step totters, and thy hair is grey!— That thou wast forced in stranger ranks to seek A soldier champion for thy faded cheek, To face the lists in panoply, and dare The world to gainsay that thy form is fair ? DESTINIES OF MAN. London, 1834. Mr. Millhouse, to whom we are indebted for the present poem, has taken lofty ground to stand on, but his genius contrives to main tain its footing. The " Destinies of Man," is, in truth, about the loftiest and most compre hensive theme that could have been selected for . the uses of poetry. Its ramifications are endless ; and Mr. Millhouse has accordingly availed himself to the fullest extent of the de sultory nature of his subject. He expatiates over a vast field of thought, in a style and with a spirit that shows him to be well-versed in his art. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. Saturday morning. The heavy sums at issue on the Port Stakes, and the great interest excited by it in all quarters, will warrant our addinc , a few particulars to the short account sent from the heath. ° Sir Robert was first off, and made running for a short distance, when he was headed by Catalonian, behind whom lay Si r Robert, Revenge, and the Whale; the others also well up. The pace was not very good at starting, but as they neared the ditch Revenge, Revelry, Chantilly, and Muley Moloch, then ran together in front, the latter pulling hard, and ready to go whenever called upon. At the end of the T. Y. C. Chifney brought him out, was never caught, and won in a canter by five lengths. The second place was closely contested between Mussulman and Revenge, the latter obtaining it by half a length, and thereby saving his stake. His friends were not a little surprised to see him so forward. Large sums changed pockets on this occasion, the Mussulman and Muley Moloch parties having backed them freely. It is obvious from this, that had Muley Mo loch been in racing condition when he ran for the St. Leger, he must have won, or very near it. Connecting his running with Shillelah, it makes the latter look well for the Derby ; while Mussulman's defeat (he having been second to Rock ingham) does not tend to make Bubastes's chance any the better. _ _ For the sweepstakes walked over for by the Duke of Grafton's Olympic, Mr. Mills's Brother to Kate withdrew his stake, and received two of the three forfeits. Large sums have been offered for Plenipotentiary, but Mr. Batson refuses to part with him on any terms till after the Derby.

Scarcely a single individual of anything like resiiectability of appearance escaped their attacks ; and it is stated that no less than one hundred com plaints of robberies have been made to the police. Among the sufferers Sir S. Whalley lost a watch of the value of sixty guineas and a purse containing forty sovereigns.. It is also stated that Colonel Evans was robbed. TIIE RUSSIAN PEASANT AND lIIS HORSE.—The Russian is scarcely ever seen to strike the animal over which he has power ; his horse is sel dom propelled by any other influence than a few cheer ing and encouraging sounds, and if this increases not his pace, he does not, heated with savage fury, dissect the wretched beast with a scourge, beat out an eye, or tear out his tongue. The Russian proverb is, " It is not the horse, but the oats that carry you." As long a s the horse will eat, he feeds him ; and his appearance generally honours the humanity of his master. An anecdote has been communicated to us re specting a red-breast, which deserves to be recorded by such a naturalist as White, of Selborne. During the mating season last year, a robin, encouraged, doubtless, by the hospitality of the mistress of the house to its tribe, made familiar entrance into Mrs. Anderson's seed-shop, at Gainsborough, and built a nest in an open drawer. In this domicile a family of songsters attained full feather, and, with a view to ascertain whether they would - preserve any recollection of their birth-place, the tail of one of them was pretty closely cropped before its departure for the fields and hedge-rows. Some short time ago, the bird thus cur tailed revisited the scene of its nativity, and, to the surprise of its old friends, built a nest in the self-same drawer which its parent had tenanted. In that drawer it was, within the last few days, sitting upon its eggs, and so tame has it become, that it not only seems per fectly at ease while strangers enter and depart, but accepts, very readily, the crumbs offered it by the children, and shows its acknowledgments of the en dearing name of " Bobby," which they have bestowed upon it, by discarding all signs of alarm or reserve at their L approaches. In fact, it appears to be, in every particular, " quit e a t h ome ," i n t h e f am il y drawer.— Hull Advertiser, SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY. (FROM LLOYD'S.)

In the past week the arrivals of Wheat and Flour were moderate, and of Oats inconsiderable. There was an in dication of Oats being dearer, but other grain remained as on the preceding Wednesday. This morning there was a small fresh supply of most kinds of grain, and a tolerably good attendance of buyers. Fine Wheat sold readily at last quotations, and other sorts maintain the terms of last. Monday, with a slow sale, for such samples as are tender. Barley, for malting, is unvaried, but grind ing parcels are Is. per quarter dearer. Beans have obtained rather more money than of late ; Pease also a little dearer. The quantity of Oats now for sale being limited, the factors have been enabled to obtain a further advance of Is. per quarter on the terms of this day se'n night, and not many are left on hand unsold. The Flour trade is rather more free than of late at former prices. PRICES ON BOARD 01 , SHIP. Wheat, fled (old) -e. -s.

THE INFLUENZA IN PARIS.—For the last ten or twelve days an epidemical complaint has attacked most of the patients in Salpetriere. From the strik ing resemblance it bears to the influenza which pre ceded the cholera in 1832, its intensity, the number of persons attacked, and its extension to some individuals in the town and in the department of Seine et Oise (Arpajon, Montlheri, &c.), it merits the attention of practitioners. It commenced in Salpetriere among some of the incurable patients in St. Leon Ward, the least healthy division of the establishment. Since that time it has extended through most of the wards, and and has in many cases terminated fatally. It com mences, in general, by pain in the throat, shivering, and cephalalgta ; in slight cases the symptoms subside at the end of three days, but sometimes far different is the result, the disease becoming rapidly aggravated, attacking the head, chest, or abdomen, and frequently terminating fatally in 24 hours , -21fedical and Sur gical Gazette, GRAIN IN Li TUMULTUOUS PETITIONING. (From the Cabinet Lawyer.) " The offence against the public peace by tumultu ous petitioning was carried to a great height in the times preceding the civil war, and it was to prevent the recurrence of the evil that the 13th Car. 11., st. 1, c. 5, was passed. . . " By this statute it is enacted, that the soliciting or procuring the names of above 20 persons to any peti tion, complaint, or declaration to the King, or either House of Parliament, for any alteration in church or state, unless the contents thereof be approved by three justices of the peace of the county, or the majority of the grand jury either of the assize or quarter sessions; 9r, if in London, by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council ; or presenting any petition by more. than ten persons at a time, incurs, in either case, a penalty of 1001. and three months' imprisonment. " It is under this statute that the corporation of London, since the restoration, have usually taken the lead in petitions to Parliament for the alteration of my established law or grievance ; but it seems not to warrant a petition froin the Common Hall. " In the trial of Lord George Gordon it was con tended that the article in the Bill of Rights which de clares that it is the right of the subject to petition had virtually repealed the Act of Charles 11. This, how ever, was denied by Lord Mansfield, Douglas, 57 1. " To the above extract it may be useful to add, at the present moment, that an unlawful assembly is any meeting whatever under such circumstances of terror, arising either from large numbers or manner of assem bling, as may endanger the public peace, and raise fear and apprehension in the community. The general rule of law is, that numbers constitute force, force terror, and terror illegality. In such case the justices are warranted in swearing in constables, and adopting the precautions prescribed by 1 and 2 of William I V., chap. 4. PRICES OF FOREIGN WHEAT. The highest price of wheaten flour of the first qua lity at Paris is 43f. the 159 kilogrammes, which an swers to 275. the English sack of 2801 b. ; and the highest price of wheaten flour in London being 48s. the sack, it follows that flour is 77i per cent. dearer in London than at Paris, and that with the sum of 2/. Bs. a man may buy 4981 b. of fine flour at Paris, whereas with the same sum he can only buy 2801 b. in London. The following is the state of things in other parts of France : At Cognac the mean price of wheat is 13f. 57c. the hectolitre, which answers to 31s. the English quarter of 8 bushels imperial measure. At Sables d'Olonne the price of wheat is from 28fif. to 290 f. per 20 hecto litres, which is from 325. Bd.. to 335. the quarter. At Haguenau, wheat rules from 12f. 50c. to 131. 60c. the hectolitre, which is from 28s. Bd. to 31s. 2d. the quarter. At Chartres, the price of wheat is from 121. 75c. to 14f. 75c. the hectolitre, which is from 295. 3d. to 335. 10d. the quarter. At Marans, the price of wheat of the first quality is 131. 33c., and the price of wheat of the second quality is 12f. 33c., which gives a mean price of 12f. 83c. the hectolitre, and which an swers to 295. sd. the quarter. At Chalons-sur- At per 1 is sf from m ea 2 t 6iss.frtoom27ls7.l. the to quarter. 181. Aria?, the price of white wheat is from 12f. to 131.

At Cambray, the price of wheat is from 9f. 50c. to 131.50 e. the hectolitre, which is-from 21s. 9d. to 31s. the quarter. The price of wheaten flou r o f t h e fi rst quality is 21f. the 101 kilogrammes, which answers to 20s. 9d. the English sack of 2801 b., and the price of wheaten flour of the first quality i n L on d on b eing 48s. the sack, it follows that flour is 1311 per cent. dearer in London than at Cambray, and with the sum of 21. Bs. a man may bay 6481 b. of fine flour at Cambray, whereas with the same sum he can only buy 5801 b. in London. BRUTAL MURDER IN IRELAND. A most premeditated and barbarous murder was committed about eleven o'clock in the morning of Thursday, the 10th instant, in the townland of Maghiralongford, county of Tyrone, seven miles from Dungannon. The following are the correct particulars :—ln the month of November last a man named James Tormar was dispossessed of his land, being unable to pay the arrears of rent due on it ; another person, named Bernard O'Neill, paid the amount, and was regularly put in possession. Tormar several times told O'Neill that he would shoot him, or the first person he should employ to cultivate the farm. O'Neill, however, on the day before mentioned, went on the land with his horse and plough, together with a man named Hugh Neill, whom he had hired for the occasion. On Tor.. mar observing them coming towards the field, he pro.. ceeded to a house two fields off, from which he took a gun and came back to the field. O'Neill and his man were about to enter, they were then standing on the road, when O'Neill, said he would plough the land_ Tormar advanced, and in the most deliberate manner took regular aim at him and missed fire. At this mo ment Neill advanced, whom he covered in like manner, and shot him through the heart, not being more than eight paces from him when Neill fell. O'Neill seized Tormar, and although the deceased was weltering in his blood, there were four persons barbarous enough to rescue the murderer and let him off! Mr. Duff, chief constable of police, having received intimation of the murder from Mr. Caulfield, a magis trate, he turned out a sergeant and five cavalry and proceeded to the spot, where, on his arrival, instead ol' meeting with any assistance, by information or other wise, from the persons assembled, one and all of them entered into a justification on Tormar's behalf. The chief constable thinking it likely the murderer would shelter himself in a large and thick wood called Killacolpy, about three miles further on, made for it, and, having dismounted some of his men, in a few minutes apprehended the murderer, concealed in a large thicket. _ Crowds of persons assembled and followed, all of whom expressed much more sympathy for the mur derer than for the deceased, his widow, and five (now) helpless children ; and, on their being reasoned with on their want of feeling, several of the crowd said, " Tormar did quite right to shoot him ; no man here would not do the same to any man who would take land over our heads." A woman named Mary Devlin, one of those who rescued Tormar in the first instance, was afterward 9. apprehended. The coroner's inquest returned a verdict of " Murder" against Tormar, who, with Mary Devlin, is now in Dungannon-gaol. It appears from the property tax returns, that the agricultural classes contribute to the state more than three times as much as the manufacturing and commercial classes of every description united. On Thursday night the valuable and exten sive woollen manufactory of Mr. Shofield, at Hay brook, near Rochdale, was totally destroyed by fire. It is not known how the fire originated, nor is the damage yet ascertained ; it must, however, be to a. very serious amount.
