Hit4al W ATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. N!erning...... 36 minutes after 5 f Evening . 5B minutes after 5. ti int LONDON : FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 1842. We shall take advantage of the interest now excited by the conduct of the workmen in the manufacturing districts to lay before our readers a few extracts from Dr. COOKE TA ILOR'S " Notes of a Tour" in those districts, recently published, which may just now be peculiarly attractive. We scarcely need quote any illustrations of the deep misery into which the workpeople are plunged, as many such have of ➢ate been published ; yet, to strengthen them, and to show to what the people have been driven, let us add this piece : " In all I visited at Colne S 3 dwellings, selected at hazard. They were destitute of furniture, save with boxes for tables and stools, and even large stones for ea-airs. The beds were composed of straw and shavings, sometimes with torn pieces of carpet or packing canvas fer a covering., and sometimes without any kind of co vering whatever. The food was oatmeal and water for breakfast, flour and water, with a little skimmed milk, for dinner, oa,meal and water for a third supply with those wha went through the form of eating three meals da.v. I was informed in fifteen families that their children went without the blue midi,' cu. from which the cream had been taken, tr. alternate days. I was an eyewitness to children appeasing the cravings of the stomach by the refuse of 'decayed vegetables in the root market. I saw a woman in the very last stage of extenuation suckling. an infant, which could scarcely draw a tingle drop of nutriment from her exhausted breast. I inquired the child's age ? Fifteen months. Why it was not weaned ?—Another mouth would be added to the number of those for whom the present supply of oatmeal was insufficient. I was told that there had been several instances of death by sheer starvation. On asking why application had not been made to the parish for relief, • I was informed that they were persons from the agricultural districts, who, on committing an act of vagrancy, would be sent to their parishes, and that they had rather endure any thing, in the hope of some manufacturing revival, than return to the condition of farm labourers, from which they had emerged." We have seen several other proofs of the fact last stated, and we doubt not its correctness. A few labourers in a district having no right to relief, or having from some cause an invincible repugnance to receive it, and being at the same time willing and anxious to work, will suffice, by their importunities for work when employment is scarce, to beat down the wages of labour. So the influx of Irish into England has tended to degrade our population to the Irish standard of comfort, and so the immigration of labourers from the agricultural districts has :ton tribitted to beat down wages there, though things are much dearer, to the few shillings per week which is the reward of farm labourers in the southern and western counties of England. Such a circum stance, now in operation for four years, explains the terrible state of destitution to which that population has been reduced, and the patience with which they have submitted to the reducin g process. Th e y h ave been consenting, if not willing, parties to their om n degradation. Now Comes, however, what appears to be an almost general attempt to diminish wages still further. It has been made, almost simultaneously, in the col lieries of Scotland and of Staffordshire, and in the factories of Lancashire. At present, the work people axe as well informed as we arc of whatever happens interesting to them. " intelligence," says Dr. C. Taylor, " seems to be propagated, in this district, with great rapidity. The mail, bringing the account of Mr. Ferrand's pro postal grant, had arrived that morning. I had not seen a paper, but I received a very furl account of the debate, in a bo , bt , at the outskirts of the town, which contained neither bed, chair, nor table ; and I heard it mentioned in a score of other places." • The workmen, therefore, arc well aware of the general reduction of wages, and are at the same time convinced that a further reduction would be starva tion. They are well aware, too, that in such a case they can expect nothing from the Government. They know that Goverturitnt will not interfere, and they see no_ alternative,. sati and erroneous though it be, but to Ley and help thelinselves by refusin g 't o warlz any They. are Pht.rialY aware, too, we believe, that they are very moat depqadent on one another, au4 must stand by mkt other. • We qu o t e a baeahin anecdote frozq 4T . :100 , 13 for the Ba k e of the truth which is deduced from it. Speaking of Marsden, he says : "I must add a noble trait. I went into the house of a widow, who had three children ; she was one of the moat intelligent, naturallypolite, persons I ever saw. She told me that the earnings of herself and two of her chil dren amounted, together, to about eleven shillings per week ; and, that though they had once been b etter o ff , they felt th emse l ves comparat i ve l y happy whea they contrasted their condition with that of their neighbours. I remained with her for some time, and, on parting, of fered her a shilling for the trouble I had given. No, Sir,' she replied, I cannot take your money_ while there are many so much worse off around me. Al low me to send it to a family suffering from sickness as well as want,' and forthwith she sent her daughter with the shilling to the house whose mi sery she had been describing. Throughout the entire of the district, I found the most distressed dwell inva riably on the assistance which they received from their neighbours. We must have penshed, but for the cla rity of our neighbours,' was a phrase whieh met us everywhere, and invariably I found on inquiry that their neighbours were very little better off than themselves." All the working classes, then, have a community of interest and of feeling, and though their manners be rude, they are sensible of it. In Ashton and Manchester they know what has been done in Staffordshire and Scotland; they see, when a similar rule is applied to themselves, the proof of a. gene ral design to crush them, and, already reduced to the last extremity of want, they stand out to resist it. If the feeling amongst them was not general, it would have bee 4 impossible for a few to have turned out tt ie hands of almost every mill in Manchester, A few Chartists, Socialists, and others, have heretofore endeavoured to rouse them with(Vdt effect ; nay, with so little effect that we have heard mill-owners well acquainted with the ma nufacturing districts, assert that, were the masters not to interfere, the orderly, well-disposed workmen would of themselves instantly put down every at tempt to provoke disorder. Now, however, a further general reduction of wages is apprehended, and the bulk of the workmen offer no resistance to the turn-outs. We cannot attribute the reduction of wages, on which undoubtedly the turn-out has begun, to any other cause than sheer necessity. "It is pretty well known," says the Manchester Guardian, "to most parties at all conversant with the trade of this district, that the manufacturers by power, and especially those who were engaged in the fabrica tion of printed cloths have been for some time past carrying on an excee dingly unprofitable business. In fact they have generally sustained serious losses ; and many of the looms have been entirely stopped." " When capital," says Dr. C. Taylor, "is involved, and the cotton manufacture demands a vast amount of investment, it must be worked or must be destroyed." " The wealth invested in a factory is utterly inapplicable to any other purpose ; it must be worked for the special manu facture for which it was originally devoted or be wholly lost. The machinery of a cotton mill cannot be applied to grinding corn, cutting nails, or sawing timber ; it will spin yarn, and it will do nothing else. The manu facturers must continue to produce, or cease to exist ; they will go on to the very last, hoping against hope, forcing a sale here, and making a sacrifice there, till their capitals are exhausted." Thus the factory owner is clearly and palpably de pendent on his workmen, and he will rarely or never run the risk of stopping his mill by any reduction of wages which is not forced on him. \Ve look, there fore, on the proposed reduction as the consequence of a necessity ; business has lately been unprofitable, the Income-tax will make it still worse, and, therefore, the masters try to save themselves by reducing wages. That the reduction of wages is not the result of the machinations of the Anti-Corn-law League, as has been wantonly asserted, is clear, for it was begun by the coal-owners, over whom the League has no influ ence, and was first carried into effect by those who are closely connected with the landed interest. The sup position in truth is absurd, as well as wanton, for the mill-owners of the League would lose 10/ by a quarrel with their workmen for every 1/. they could gain by the total abolition of the Corn-laws. ‘;‘,7. c" ' F3 . ..fr o t-N7/0 0, 41T j a.v0ic..74-1", COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, and the Hereditary Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, arrived at Buckingham Palace in an open carriage and four, escorted by a party of Hussars, at ten minutes before two o'clock yesterday afternoon, from the terminus of the Great Western Railway, at Paddington. The Royal Suite followed in two carriages and four, and consisted of the Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting, Hon. Miss Murray, and Hon. Miss Paget, Maids of Honour in Waiting; Lord Byron, Lord in Waiting; Captain Hood, Groom in Waiting; Colonel Buckley, Equerry in Wait ing; and Colonel Wylde, Equerry to Prince Albert. Her Majesty and the Prince were received at the Pa lace by the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, and the Vice-Chamberlain. The Queen held A Privy Council at half past three o'clock. It was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Lord President, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Duke of Wellington, the Secretaries of State for the Home and Foreign Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the President of the Board of Trade, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the President of the Board of Control, the Secretary at War, the Paymaster of the Forces, the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, and the ➢faster of the Horse. Her Majesty having been pleased to appoint Sir John Walsh, Bart., to be Lord Lieutenant of the County of Radnor, Sir John took the oaths appointed to be taken thereupon. The Queen's Speech on closing the Session of Parlia ment this day was arranged and agreed upon. Mr. C. Greville was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. Her Majesty gave audience to Sir Robert Peel, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President, and the Earl of Haddingtoa. The Court was attended by the Treasurer of the Household, the Vice-Chamberlain, the Comptroller of the Household, Viscount Combermere, Gold Stick in Waiting ; Colonel Buckley, Equerry in Waiting ; and Colonel Wylde, Equerry in Waiting on Prince Albert. Lord Byron and Captain Hood were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived in town yesterday from his residence at Kew. The Duke of Wellington had a dinner party yesterday evening, at Apsley House. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. London, Aug. 12, 1842. The Gazette of this evening will announce the following as the average prices of British Brown and Muscovado sugars:— s. d. West India East India 3B 6 Mauritius Total average 375. 3id. per cwt. The actual quantities sold on amount of the importers in the week ending the 9th inst., according to the returns made upon oath by the sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantities the above prices are computed, consisted of :- 25,240 cwt. of West India Sugar. 15,589 cwt. of East India Sugar. 1,677 cwt. of Mauritius Sugar. The same Sugars, if sold in foreign markets, would, from their qualities, fetch only 16s. per cwt. for the West India, 18s. per cwt. for the East India, and 16s. 6d. per cwt. for the Mauritius, because they would be sold side by side with foreign Sugars, which, taking quality for quality, may be purchased at the like rates. The British consumers are, consequently, paying the monopolists 20s. per cwt. more for all the Sugar they use, than the real value of it. The consumption per annum being, iu round numbers, four million cvvts., shows that the sacrifice on one article to class interests, amounts to about 4,000,0001. If this enormous sum had gone to fortify the revenue instead of going into the pockets of Sugar plantation proprietors, the community at large would not now experience the annoyance of fill ing up the papers relating to the obnoxious Income-tax, anti ot, by and by, having the collectors rapping at their doors for the hard cash. Let each individual bear in mind, as he hands over his money, that it is so much paid for the maintenance of the Sugar monopoly, for it is quite clear, that had the above-mentioned 4,000,000/. been added to the general revenue, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not have needed the proceeds of an In come-tax for the legitimate disbursements of the State. A short time since an application was made on behalf of the people to the Legislature, for a Committee to in quire into the causes of their alarming distress ; the in tensity of misery occasioned by this distress was acknow ledged, but the inquiry was denied. The appeal was stifled, it is fair to conclude, because the landed interest feared the development of truths which would point out that a further alteration of the Corn-laws was the only remedy which could alleviate the existing suffering ; ui fact, that bread was the most fitting cure for star vation. We now change the character of the appli cants. Another class of landed proprietors, the West India body, ask for a Committee to investigate the causes of their ditticulties—diffleulties entirely arising from their own mismanagement--;this favoured party no sooner signify their wishes than tt Committee is forthwith nomi • limed, with powers to examine into the causes of diftix c rice between employers and labourers in the 'West Indies. This Committee, after a laborious investigation, has just published a report ; whether their views are correct or incorrect is not now the question, we merely point to the fact that an inquiry into the causes of distress was denied to the many, w bile it was readily gamed to a petted few. Is this justice ? The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch went to the General Steam Navigation Company's wharf at Poplar, on Wednesday evening, to witness the departure of the younger branches of their family in the Company's splendid new ship Princess Royal, Captain T.

MEMOIR OF BARON Do INit; ' JEAN LAtiREY. SURGEON OF THE ARMIES OF FRANCE. He then spoke of Larrey. "Larrey," said Napoleln, " was the most honest man, and the best friend to the soldier that I ever knew. Vigilant and indefatigable in his exertions for the wounded, Larrey was soen on the field of battle, after an action with a train of young surgeons, endeavouring to discover if any signs of life remained in the bodies. In the must inclement weather, and at all times of the night and the dt9 , Larrey was to be found amongst the wounded."— Burly O'Meara's Con • virsations with Napoleon, or A Voice from St. Helena. Vol. 11., p. 251. To the life of this great man, whose departure has just been announced as having taken place at Paris, attaches no small part of the glory of the French armies, and their actual pieservation. M. Larrey was a native of the south of Franc( . At the age of thirteen he began the study of his profession at Toulouse, and went from thence to Paris in 1787. Appointed to be surgeon in the army *of the Rhine in 1792, and being present at the taking of Spire, under General Custin, he then had an opportunity of observing for the first time the defects of the existing French system of field surgery. Here he observed that the wounded were left to be collected after battle, .so that from twenty-four to thirty-six hours often transpired before surgical assistance could be supplied them. LARREY'II NEW SYSTEM OP " AMBULANCES VOLANTES."—His active and methodic mind soon suggested the system denominated by him as above, and of which he subsequently made such extensive application. The first time that he reduced his plan to practice was when the French were compelled to abandon their wounded at Limbourg, and he shortly after made a larger trial of his invention , in a battle which quickly occurred. These ambulances, in their most perfect form, consist of a mounted corps of surgeons and inferior assistants, regularly taught and practised in the manoeuvres necessary to enable them to dress the wounded on the field of battle, and to remove them with expedition to other ambulances, or temporary hospitals, which were always prepared in the vicinity, on the approach of an action—to be transferred from thence, at leisure, to more permanent establish ments. For the conveyance of the wounded light carriages of a peculiar construction were provided, which rendered the transport so easy and expeditious, that the ambulances-volantes could follow the most rapid movements of the advanced guard. Larrey in 1794 returned to Paris. Soon after he was introduced to Bonaparte, at that time General of Artillery in an expedition intended for Corsica, which eventually did not sail. In 1797 he was ordered to join the army of Italy at Milan, and in the. course of the campaign was directed by Napoleon himself' to organise a com plete corps of ambulances-volantes ; the very sight of which, at the advanced posts, Larrey himself informs us (Memoires de Chirurgerie Militaii'e) gave confidence to the soldiers, who now telt assured that in case of injury, relief was always at hand. EXPEDITION TO EGYPT,.—The next enterprize that M. Larrey was engaged in was the memor able expedition to Egypt. The surgical depart ment consisted of a numerous corps of exceilent officers, all the young men of the schools being eager to join in this romantic expedition, but the vessel that contained their stock of instru ments and apparatus, which was very complete, was taken by the English. Upon the more pro minent events of that campaign we do not intend to dwell, except upon the affair of Jaffa, which has only been fairly cleared up by O'Meara, and which others have considered to throw great odium upon Larrey. THE ALLEGED JAFFA MASSACRE.—It is by many said, in spite of the known humanity of Larrey's nature, that Larrey at Jaffa advised the dispatch of the sick and wounded. He did so. Napoleon affirmed it to O'Meara. Larrey was of opinion that these poor wretches could not exist many hours, and rather than have them to be horribly tormented by the Turks, it would be an act of mercy to accelerate their end. Des genelles dissented—" his province," he said, "was to cure the sick, not to kill them." Napoleon said, perhaps he was right. Larrey then recommended a rear-guard of cavalry to be left to protect, which was done, though they all expired shortly after. • • PRESENTATION OF A SWORD TO M. LARREY. —At the battle of Aboukir, General Fugieres was being operated upon under a dangerous wound, which he had received in the shoulder, from a cannon-ball of the eneMy, and believing that the time of his death drew nigh, he presented his sword to General Bonaparte, saying, " General, one day, perhaps, you will envy my fate." Bonaparte afterwards made this sword a present to M. Larrey, after having caused to be engraved on it the name of " Larrey," and that of the battle " Aboukir." Fugieres, however, did not die. He was saved by the skilful opera tion to which he had submitted, and during a period of seventeen years, he commanded the in valids at Avignon. Throughout the campaign in Egypt, indeed, the services of Larrey were inestimable. The plague which broke out at Danietta was greatly checked by him, and in the numbers of the best soldiers who perished, " as it were by extinction," in the retreat across the Desert—in the scorching airs of the Kampsin, and the infestments of the plague, Larrey was ever present with his kind hand and soothing anodynes, to relieve, alleviate, and throw a gentleness into death. Having arrived in France at the close of 1801, he re ceived both from the army of Egypt and the Government, the most honourable testimonies of gratitude for his services. In 1802, he published his " Account of the Egyptian Campaign," and began to lecture at Paris on military surgery. As soon as Napolean, after being crowned by the Pope, repaired to his army in December, 1804, "to avenge the nation upon the English, for their violation of the treaty of Amiens," M. Larrey once more joined the army at Boulogne, but the speedy disembarkation of these troops for Ulm and Austerlitz, soon led him into the midst of those campaigns. AUSTERLITZ.—Austerlitz gave great scope to Larrey for the exercise of his talents. It was at this battle on the preceding night that, as Na poleon rode through the lines, the soldiers, amounting to more than 80,000, suddenly lighted up as many torches, and celebrated aloud the anniversary of his coronation. The result of the battle is known; but a more dreadful picture of destruction than presented by this field was never witnessed, says Larrey. BAUTZEN AND LUTZEN.—M. Larrey was also present at the memorable battles of Lutzen, Bautzen, and Wurschen, at which atrocious ca• bunny found the means of insinuating to the Emperor, that there had been practised a volun tary mutilation by the young conscripts who had been wounded on those memorable days. Lar rey assembled a jury of the superior surgeons, when it was proved that these young men had all been wounded on the field of honour. After hearing the report of the jury, Napoleon said to Larrey, " It were to be desired that I was sur rounded by only such men as you." Larrey re ceived on this occasi:an a present of jewellery, and a pension of 3,000 francs, which the law on, finances deprived him of in 1817, but which the special law of the Chamber restored to him in 1818. In 1802, M. Larrey was named Surgeon-in- Chief of the guard and hospital of Consuls. In 1804, he received, among the first, the cross of officer of the Legion of Honour, at the Hotel des Invalides, from the hand of the First Consul himself; who said on delivering it to him— " Larrey, it is a recompense well deserved." THE WOUNDED AT EYLAU.—At this battle the troops bivouacked under a temperature of 32 degrees below freezing point. "I had." says Larrey in his own account, "early in the morning of tl.e battle, established an ambulance in some barns, to the left of the road at the entrance of the town ; but unfortunately they were open on every side, the straw roofs having been taken for the horses, so that we were obliged to place our wounded on what was left of the straw, half covered with snow. The cold was so severe, that the instruments frequently dropped from the hands of my assistants, during our operations ; and it was night before we could take any refreshment. When all was quiet,•and the men had been attended to, a sudden movement of the enemy bore down immediately upon the ambulances—such _of the wounded men as had the power of motion, immediately took to flight. M. Larrey hastened to finish the amputation of a leg which he had begun ; and the surgeons, with their attendants, as a last resource, were preparing for defence, when a charge of the French cavalry, in the midst of a whirlwind of snow relieved 38.40. The extreme exhaustion of the country, and the severity of the weather, determined Larrey to send them back to Inowracklaw, a distance of fifty-five French leagues, through miserable roads and every sort of privation, yet they arrived in good condition. BATTLE OF ESsLlNC.l.—During the Austrian a campaigns e v o l u B r o l d9e,dand ,ver e e tte c r ro tle :de s d eve i i i • l e t( b ) at i t h l t e , The Island of Lobau,on the bare ground. days where they lay , for thred w a d y ci s, without , . were sultry—the nights cold; the high winds covered them with dust, and the destruction of the . hri4ges having cut off their supplies, M. laiFey,*u§, to, make soup tbr them of whic% he seasoned with gun p iLaving accowpanl.6 Donaparte Liu the pro. gra=ss of his elevation. he was &stun d to take a part in still more extraor.linar, occurrences of his fall. On the expedition into Russia, Larrey was appointed Surgeon-in-Chief to this vast army, and completed -his medical and stir• gical department at Berlin. At Smoleusko, the French loss was more than 7,200 hors-de-combat. " And here, having for several days been io want of linen, we were oblt,.,ed to, dress the wounded with the records, filch we found in the archives where we bad established our hos pital. The parchments served instead of splints; tow, and the down of the beech -tree, for lint; and even the beds of the wounded men were made of the papers." LARREY A PUPIL OF SABATIER.—OII his re- turn to Paris in 1811, he printed three volumes of his campaigns, in which he has written a just eulogium on his master, Doctor Sabatier. The same year, in the public anniversary of the School of Medicine, he received from Baron Percy a striking manifestation of the manner in which his noble conduct, while among the armies, had been regarded, and also of the par ticular acknowledgment which he entertained for M. Sabatier. " You, Sir," said Baron Percy, ." whom I need not name—you, who are the ho nour and example of all military surgeons, who in all the regions where Napoleon has carried his triumphant arms, have joined to the usefith ness of talent the zeal of philanthropy, you have acquired while yet young the eternally glorious title of the disciple of Sabatier, and the inappre ciable advantage of being counted among his dearest children." . THE BATTLE OF MOJOSK On BORODINO.—Of the two armies in this case, one fought absolutely for existence, a,nd the other made the last stand in defence of their metropolis : " It would be impossible," says M. Larrey, "to describe the field, where between five and six hundred thousand men had fought, for more than fifteen hours, within the space of a square league. The surgeons laboured with out ceasing among the wounded in despite of the cold, and of northerly winds, so strong, that the torch of the surgeons could scarcely be kept in. The wounds, too, of this battle, were unusually severe, being principally from the artillery, and M. Larrey himself, during the first • twenty-four hours, amputated about two hundred limbs !" ESCAPE 'AT THE PASSAGE OF THE BERESINA. —At Doroghoboi, the hospital of the 'Wounded took fire, and M. Larrey only just escaped through the midst of the flames, . while numbers of the wounded were burned to death. At the memor able passage of the Beresina, Larrey again es caped with considerable difficulty. He re turned to the east bank of the river, to secure some cases ofsurgical instruments, and must have perished, if he had not been recognised by the soldiers, who lifted him over their heads from one to the other, and thus enabled him to gain the bridge, a few hours before it broke down. THE GREAT RETREAT.—In the retreat from Russia the disastrous state of the soldiers is well known. At their entry into Osmiana, Larrey's thermometer fell to even 47 below the freeziog point; and the bivouac was terrible. He him-, self, who, it will be recollected, was a Baron of the Empire, and at the head of the surgiCal staff, was only fortunate enough to pass that fatal tii;tht in a warm chamber, and upon a little straw. At 11Pednicki the thermometer at his button hole was 63 (leg. below freezing, and though one of the most robust men in the army, it Was with the greatest difficulty that he arrived at \Vilna ; hisstrength and courage were almost totally gone; he was just ready to fall, like the multitudes Of unfortunate beings who had already perished be fore his eyes. The subsequent campaigns in France, in which his master fell and lost all that his sword bad won, were also shared in by Larrey, till the peace, concluded on the affair of Waterloo, afforded him at last the prospect of repose, after 30 years of service, during which he had taken a part in four-and-twenty different campaigns. From that time to 'his death he enjoyed the honours ofa well-earned and highly-merited fame. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. SUN.—The accounts from the manufacturing districts which appeared in The Suh of to-day, have caused deep regret in the City, and to a certain extent have suspended basin, ss both in the money and produce market. The effect upon the prices of the ' funds has not been material, and al though sufficient to have induced purchases at tha decline, scarcely one of consequence has been made, or a sale effected. The rate nominally was 91 92 for Money and for the Account. Bank Stock, 170 1711 ; India Stock, 2491 2501 ; Exchequer Bills, Old 50 52, New 48 50 prem. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 1011 1021 ;_ Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51 4 52 ; the Five per Cents., 1014 102 ; Danish, 82 83 ; Brazilian, 64 66. The quotations for Mexican were, 351- 35i.

The quotations of the Bonds were--Colombian, 201 21; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 334 34 ; the Three per Cents., 191 201 ; Spanish Five per Cents , 201 204 ; the Three per Cents., 19i 194. These Call be considered but as nominal ; a single bargain in Colom bian and Spanish Five per Cents. comprising all the business done to-day. A careful perusal of the evidence, given before the Commissioners in the " Exchequer Bills forgeries," leads to the conclusion that their report savours somewhat of harshness towards the principal holders. At the same time a degree of excuse is to be found for it, in the fact that more extraordinary disclosures were perhaps never made, and the truth of them could only be understood by parties hav ing a practical knowledge of the routine of such trans actions. A foreigner without credit, and completely unknown, except from what he himself was pleased to state, and subsequently his agent, of whom no information beyond doubtful reports could be ascertained, contrived, through " two agents of third-rate credit," as stated by one of the witnesses, to put into circulation forged documents representing nearly three millions sterling, of which, at the time of the discovery, about 420,0011 were in the hands of parties who had made ad vances upon them on the faith that they were genuine. No possible suspicion could be entertained of the fact, when some of those having been presented at the office from which they were issued, were pronounced to be cor rect, some proceeding; having led to doubt if they were so. The bulk of the holders having completely cleared themselves of the most remote participation of the fraud, it is thOught to be rather hard upon them, that their cases have not been adjudicated on before the prorogation of Parliament, since they are not only suffering from pecu niary difficulties, consequent upon their funds being impounded, but also in credit and in loss of titre ; being, as the Chairman of Committee of tLe Stock Exchange declared, " under suspension." A perusal of the evidence is recommended to all the monied interest, and the country will have cheaply purchased the expo sure at the price of the claims made on the Treasury. The proceeds were chiefly employed in gambling in fo reign bonds, some details of which, as collected from the evidence, will be noticed. DECEASE OF LORD BERWICK.—We have the me lancholy duty to announce in our obituary this day the decease of the Right Hon. William Noel Lord Berwick, of Attingham Hall, which event took place at his estate, in Hampshire, on Thursday. His Lordship was the se cond son of Noel the first Lord Berwick, by Anne, daughter of Henry Vernon, Esq., of Hilton, in the county of Stafford. He was born in 1773, in London, educated at Cambridge, and succeeded his eldest brother, the Right Hon. Thomas Noel Lord Berwick, in the peerage, Nov. 3, 1832. The late Lord Berwick was elected one of the representatives for the town of Shrewsbury on the 12th of July, 1796, having sustained a contest against his re lative, John Hill, Esq., of Frees, a brother to Sir Richard Hill, Bart., of Hawkstone, which stands perhaps un paralleled in the annals of electioneering for spirit and expenditure, having, it is supposed, cost the parties little short of one hundred thousand pounds—and is still mentioned as the memorable 96 election. He was subsequently re-elected on the 16th of November, 1802—December 15th, IFo6—and again, June 22d, 1807. He was afterwardi chosen Envoy at Naples, and was a member of the Corporation of Shrewsbury until the passing of the Municipal Act, in 1835. Soon after the decease of his brother he returned to the ancestral mansion at Attingham-hall, near Shrews bury, where he has since continued to reside. He was, from early life, attached to antiquities, para. cularly to those connected with Shropshire, and had formed a large collection of manuscripts, drawings, and other works relating to its topograpil. ilis Lordship was unmarried, ar.d is succeeded in his title and estates by his youngest brother, the -Hon. and Rev. Richard Noel Hill, M.A., Rector of Berrington, in this county ; and it may be remarked as a somewhat uncommon oc currence, for three brothers in succession to take the title of their father. The late Lord will be interred in the family vault at Atchatu, near Shrewsbury.—Sulopian Journal. A p erson named Tarier, returning, on the 19th, from person on horseback, with considerable property in money and notes, belonging to M. Bedin, a notary, was fired at from the side of a little wood, and hit in the head. lie fell immediately lifeless from his horse, and the animal, frightened at the shot. gallopped off at great si•eed.

The half yearly general meeting of the Proprietors of this line was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, John Raskell, Esq., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings of the day, stated that the differences between the Eastern Counties Railway and themselves as to the traffic of goods and passengers had been all arranged that morning. Mr. BOCRNE, the Secretary to the Company, then read the Report, from which we extract the following passages : " The Directors have now to congratulate the Share holders of the Northern and Eastern Railway upon the completion and opening of the line to Bishop's Stortford, being to the northern extent of the Company's Parlia mentary powers ; and also upon the result of such com pletion. . _ " The receipts of the Railway for the last six months, ending 30th June, 1842, although including only seven weeks of the through-traffic, are nearly double those of the corresponding six months ending 30th June, 1841. " The gross receipts of the past six months, ending 30th June last, amount to 28,9851. 13s. 5d., which, with the balance of 1624 16s. Bd. left undivided last half year, gives 29,148/. 10s. Id. The expenses, including toll to the Eastern Counties Company, amount to 15,6261. 4s. 2d., leaving a balance of 13,522/. ss. 11d., and your Di rectors venture to recommend that 20s. per share, amounting to 9,0721., be divided upon the last half year, leaving 4,4504 ss. lid. applicable to the payment of rent to the Eastern Counties Railway Company, which, though not due, has been incurred, and ought to be laid out by the earnings of the present half year. " Your Directors, in calling your attention to the ge neral account, have only to state, that they, in common with all Railway Directors, have been, to a certain ex tent, disappointed in the original representations of their officers as to the ultimate cost of the line; but when they state that, according to the general accounts up to the 30th of June, and by a reference to the present unpaid liabilities of the Company, it appears that the railway will not exceed the cost of 30,0001. per mile, including engines, carriages, and traffic material, they do not feel that the Shareholders have much cause of dissatisfaction in the excess of the cost beyond the original estimate. " With reference to the further extension of the Rail way northwards, your Directors are more than ever im pressed with the certainty that the most advantageous results would ensue from its being continued to Cambridge." Mr. VIZARD thought the shareholders might receive a larger dividend than 20s. a share. Last year when they had a balance of only 6,0001. a dividend of 15s. was paid, and now they had a balance of 13,0001 in hand, the dividend was only ss. more, instead of being more than double that of last year, which it should be if paid in the same proportion. The CHAIRMAN explained, that the balance of this year included the rent which had to be paid to the Eastern Counties line ; whereas the 6,000/. mentioned as the balance last year, was the balance after deduct • ing the rent due to the Eastern Counties Railway. Mr. BIDDER, the engineer of the line, entered into a statement with the view of showing that no part of the excess in the cost of the line over the original esti mate mentioned in the report, attached to the engineer's estimate. A rather angry discussion on a variety of subjects ensued, in the course of which a slight dispute sprang up between Mr. Vizard, the late Solicitor, and Mr. Crawshay, the late Chairman to the Company, in consequence of Mr. Vi zard applying the term " humbug" to some proceedings of the Directors ; to this Mr. Crawshay replied with great warmth that there had been no humbug. If there had been any imposition practised upon the Company, it had been by the late Solicitor. What was the meaning of 69,8001. for parliamentary expenses and law charges ? Several Directors proposed that Mr. Vizard withdraw the word " humbug." Mr. BELL moved that the discussion on bye-gone sub jects cease. Mr. LEVY moved that the Report of the Directors be received and adopted, and Mr. SHUTER seconded this motion. Mr. VIZARD then moved, that the following para graph which occurs in the Report be expunged:—" With reference to the further extension of the Railway north wards, your Directors are more than ever impressed with the certainty, that the most advantageous result would ensue from its being continued to Cambridge, and with this view, and the impediment which still ex ists to the making the Branch to Ware and Hertford, they have not yet taken any steps in the latter project." Mr.. BELL seconded this motion ; but afterwards re commended its withdrawal, which was assented to by Mr. Vizard. Mr. LEvy's motion for the adoption of he Report was agreed to unanimously. Mr. HARVEY then moved that a dividend of 20s. a share be declared to become payable on Thursday, she 25th instant. Mr. BELL seconded this motion, which was also car ried unanimously. A short discussion ensued upon the mode of disposing of the forfeited shares, but nothing definitive was agreed on with regard to them. Mr. BAGSHAW, a Director, in a complimentary address, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Crawshay, the late Chairman of the Court, for his untiring zeal and un wearied exertions in their service. The motion was carried, and Mr. CRAWSEIAY acknowledged the compliment ; at the same time, he submitted to the meeting a proposition which he had received from a party offering to farm the line at such a rent as should secure to the Company 5 per cent. upon the outlay. Mr. LEVY hoped the Directors would not let the line without competition, for he was prepared to say that he would give more than 5 per cent. himself. lie thought it should realise 8 per cent. The matter then dropped. A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to the pre sent Chairman and Board of Directors, who briefly ac knowledged it, and the meeting separated. Loss OF THE CALEDOW STEAMER ON LOUGH NEAGH.—On Thursday, about 30 of the most respectable inhabitants of Portadown and its vicinity embarked on board the Caledon in order to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the river and lake. The voyagers had arrived opposite Shane's Castle, and were desirous to partake of a dejeuner a la frurehette beneath its ruined and embattled walls. They accordingly made for the shore, but the boat en countering in her progress a ledge of rocks, at first grazed them with her bottom, then her bow dipping, she struck with such force that the water gushed in in torrents. The shock was so violent that Mr. Richley and the master were thrown from the paddle-box,and received severe contusions. A scene of terror and confusion now ensued ; but a fishing boat, observing the danger of the unhappy sufferers, bore down to relieve them. All were now eager to escape from the sinking steamer, and to rush into the boat, but were withheld from this fatal movement by the exertions of Mr. Wolsey Atkinson. After the passengers were safely landed, the steamer was seen to go down.—Newry Tele graph. On Wednesday last, the Chanonry fishers captured a very large old seal, which weighed within a few pounds of 2 cwt., and was 5 feet 9 inches long. It got entangled in one of the bag-nets. • The boat's crew, having only the small felling -stickF, had great difficulty in killing the monster, who made a desperate struggle, after being in the eoble, to attack the men, and make his escape. — Ross Advertiser. '1 he following melancholy affair has excited con siderable attention at Ostend and Bruges :—M. Dietz, chief of the railway station at Ostend, received an ano nymous letter, charging his wife with criminal inter course with a young sailor of the Belgian navy, named Libben. M. Inetz having no reason, however to sus pect his wife's fidelity, took at first no heed of this infor mation, but subsequently grounds of suspicion led him to be on the alert, and he soon was convinced of the cri minality of the parties, and intercepted various letters. M. Dietz, therefore, determined to take every possible means of surprising his rival en flagrant delis. For this purpose he often told his wife that business called him to Bruges, to which place he frequently went, always return ing when he believed he should be least expected, but he never found Libben with his wife. On Saturday last, however, he went again to Bruges, purchased two pis tols with powder and balls, and returned to Ostend by the last train. It appears on this occasion he told his wife he was going to Brussels, and should not return till the following day. When the train arrived at Ostend he did not get out of the carriage, but remained concealed. It must be observed that frora this place of concealment the unhappy husband could see into his wife's apartment, and that about ten o'clock he was satisfied that more than one was therein. His exasperation was now at its height. He went home, and with terrible violence forced open the door of the chamber, where he found the young sailor with his guilty companion. Giving way to let full vengeance, he shot the young man dead upon the spot, and then locking his wife up in the room with the corpse, gave orders to send for the police, and went him self to bring witnesses. On Sunday, M. Dietz and his wife delivered themselves up to the authorities at Bruges, and the affair i s now in t h e h an d s o f t h e l aw .— Bruyes Paper, • LEEDS AND SELBY RAILWAY COMYANr.—On Saturday last, the annual general meeting of the Share holders in the Leeds and Selby Itailway took place at Scarborough's Hotel, John Gott, Esq., in the Chair. From the statement of the accounts submitted to the meeting, it appeared that the balance on the Company's , income was 3,2501., and the reserve fund 13.3161, 17s. 7d. The Chairman remarked that there was nothing in the accounts requiring observation, but connected with tht re there was a new feature which it might be necessary to allude to—namely, that the Directors had considered to recommend the Shareholders to pay the Income-tax out of the reserve fund, still making the dividend five per cent., or, in other words, to raise the dividend by the amount of the tax. The succeeding proposition was then moved and carried unanimously :—" That the dividend be two-and-a-half per cent. for the past half year." After the passing of this motion, the Chairman said that ac cording to the regulationi of the Act 'of Parliament, four Directors should retire annually, and that those who would on this occasion have to vacate office were Messrs. Audus, Gatlin', Whitehead, and John Gott. A motion was submitted by Mr. William Williams Brown, and seconded by Mr. James Brooke, to the effect—" That the four gentlemen just named be re-elected, and that they have the thanks of the meeting awarded to thew for their past services," which was carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated.

The reports from Manchester, Dudley, Glasgow, and other manufacturing and mining districts, con tinue to be of a very gloomy description. From South Staffordshire, we read that a body of colliers, swelled by other large bodies as they advanced, marched into Dudley on Wednesday. " The utmost anxiety," says the Correspondent of a Morning Paper, " was felt as they approached the town, and to meet any emergency that might arise, a troop of the Yeomanry Cavalry, and of the Third Dragoons, were put in immediate readiness to act. There was, however, no necessity for their interference. The men walked into the town, to the number of fourteen thousand, and proceeded through High-street, in a sort of dead but sulky silence. The hum and buz of their • conversation was the only indication of their presence, and they were repeatedly charged by their leader to observe order and silence. In this manner they proceeded through the town and to the road leading to Wednesbury, where the meeting was to be held. On the road they were joined by thousands. On arriving at the ground, there could not have been less than '25,000 men, women, and children, all of whom were interested in the proceedings. The in terest was increased by delegates from the Scotch mines, who have now turned out. After several speeches had been made, the meeting separated in the most orderly manner. There can now be no doubt of the fact, that a most extensive organisation has been effected between the miners in England and Scotland." In the above simple, and apparently unexaggerated description, there are one or two significant facts that must arrest the attention of even the most unreflecting. The " dead but sulky silence" of fourteen thousand as sembled individuals, and their determination to pre serve order, as if impressed with a deep and fervent conviction of the inherent justice of the cause that had brought them together ;—these facts, unimportant as they may appear at first sight, are in reality of the utmost moment, and indicate a spirit far different to that which influenced the great majority of the work ing classes in the days of HUNT and Peterloo. 'I he pre sent movements would seem to be anything but superficial ; they are not the outbreaks of mere bruta ignorance, to be put down by the reading of a Riot Act and the flourish of a few cavalry swords, but bear evident tokens of design and premeditation. Truly, Parliament breaks up under most auspicious circumstances ! The very day which brings tidings to the metropolis that the greater part of the North of England is in commotion, and that the minirk districts of Scotland also are on the move—that day is the one selected by Sir ROBERT PEEL to send the People's Representatives about their business ! What a significant comment are the present and manufacturing outbreaks on The efficacy of the remedial measures which the Tory Ministers promised the country, on their first taking office. It is the working classes that are now foremost in dis ' playing their discontent with the present state of things ; but the Income-tax, we suspect, will ere long, produce a similar ferment among the middle classes. We have just seen a letter from a manufacturer of the highest standing, to a friend in London, written yesterday, from which we make the following ex tract : " The turn-out forces reached our premises at eleven this morning, stopped everything, and let the water out of the boilers to prevent our starting again. • " They held a large meeting close to my gates. Their speeches were not very violent. They want the wages of. 1840, with ten hours labour per day. They have no political knowledge, appa rently, and are ignorant of what they should strive for. All mills are at a stand in Rochdale—the shops are shut—and the whole neighbourhood is sud denly plunged into alarm and confusion." " Peel, Graham, Famine, and Co., are respon sible for this; the end is hidden from us ; a few days will bring better or worse events to pass. We are at a stand, and so I am writing to my friends to let them know our position. It is said Yorkshire is also dis turbed; if so, I fear we shall have bad days, for a time at least." The Paris papers of Wednesday have reached us, but they contain no news of importance. The fol lowing are the only extracts worthy of notice : The Moniteur of the 10th of August has nu official part. There was a meeting of the Family Council yesterday at Neuilly, at which the Chancellor, President of the Chamber of Peers, presided. It consisted of the Duke de Nemours and the Prince de Joinville, the President of the Court of Cassation, and the President of the Court of Accounts, and of M. Carchy, Secretary. keeper of the Registers of the Chamber of Peers. • The Regency Bill will be examined to-morrow in the bureaux of the Chamber. It is generally believed that the Chamber will have finished all the business before thein before the end of this month, and that the Council Geutmil of the Department may meet between the sth and. the 10th of September. Lt all probability. M. unpin will be appointed Reporter on the Regency Constitutionnel, Aug. 10.

We find the following paragraph in the Memorial Bordelais of the Bth :--" As a proof of the favourable sentiments which the Court of Madrid at present enter tain with respect to the French alliance, we learn from Madrid that M. de Olozaga, Plenipotentiary of her Catholic Majesty at Paris, who was going on leave of absence to Andalusia, had delayed his departure, it is said by order of the Government, that he may shortly return to his post, which he quitted last year in conse quence of diplomatic differences between the two Courts." `the Toulon Journal says that " the departure of Admiral Hugon is again put off, it is said till Monday next."
