LONDON: FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 1842. I,, \ l T e shall take advantage of the interest now excited 4 4 ,.. t he conduct of the workmen in the manufacturing Viets to lay before our readers a few extracts a s.l4 Dr. COO KE TA YLOR ' S " Notes of a Tour" in °s e districts, recently published, which may just be peculiarly attractive. We scarcely need th °t e any illustrations of the deep misery into which l a c Workpeople are plunged,• as many such have of been published; yet, to strengthen them, and to show Ne e , wh at the people have been (Liven, let us add this 1 14 ; In all I visited at Colne 83 dwellings, selected at O ' rd. They were destitute of furniture, save with th's for tables and stools, and even large stones' for Otr s. The beds were composed of straw and shavings, etim es with torn pieces of carpet or packing canvas Covering, and sometimes without any kind of co lit;111g whatever. The food was oatmeal and water for 10; 4 _,wfast, flour and water, with a little skimmed milk, th o qihner, oatmeal and waterfor a third supply with mess who went through the form of eating three 16' 3 a day. , I was informed in fifteen families 4 ' 4 their children went without the blue mil,' t) 11 milk from which the cream had been taken, a lternate days. I was an eye-witness to children teasin g the cravings of the stomach by the refuse of k n .nd vegetabl e s in the root market. 1 saw a woman h. t ".e very last stage of extenuation suckling an infant, fr o l en could scarcely draw a single drop of nutriment qn her exhausted breast. I inquired the child's age ? k Nen months. Why it was not weaned ?—Another Outli, would he added to the number of those : /v bom the present supply of oatmeal was insufficient. 14 48 4 told th a t th e r e had been s e ver a l in s t ances o f d ea th s ot hee r starvation. On asking why application had th, t h°een made to the parish ibr relief; I was informed they were persons from the agricultural districts, k „ on committing an act of vagrancy, would be sent ti l i`"ir parishes, and that they had rather endure any t et 4 g, in the hope of some manufacturing revival; than th„ l4 r4 to the condition of farm labourers, from which Y had emerged." t " l e have seen several other proofs of the fact last 4 0 , 4te d, and we doubt not its correctness. A few 1 14 "oarer s in a district having no right to relief, or : i ng from some cause an invincible repugnance to e ive it, and gat the same time willing and t e , - : ( icilas to work, will suffice, by their importunities ti; work when employment is scarce, to beat down k e Wages of labour. So the influx of Irish into gland has tended to degrade our population to the 1 1 7 h standard of comfort, and so the immigration of t llrer s from the agricultural districts has con itt'ihilted to beat down wages there, though things 14e much dearer, to the few shillings per week which 44 t he reward of farm labourers in the southern ~ tt ,:! Western counties of England. Such a circum ht j . ee, now in operation for four years, explains the C i ble state of destitution to which that population bea: been reduced, and the patience with which they v e submitted to the reducing process. They have - d t ," l Consenting, if not willing, parties to their own b IO W comes, however, what appears to be an almost a'nerttl attempt to diminish wages still further. It li e '. been ma d e , a l mos t s i mu lt aneous l y , i n th e col tilies of Scotland and of Staffordshire, and in the ' e ries of Lancashire. At present, the work people i iat e as well informed as we are of whatever happens cre sting to them. t b r °l itical intelligence," says Dr. C. Taylor, " seems Th e e Propagated, in this district, with great rapidity. Aus qi el ail, bringing the account of Mr. Ferrand's pro -130. grant, had arrived that morning. I had not seen b 1 a but received a very fu.l account of the debate, riei th "se at the outskirts of the town, which contained in bed, chair, nor table ; and I heard it mentioned l i t ere of o th er p l aces ." e workmen, therefore, are well aware of the eori r . al re d uction of wages, and are at the Name time ti ori v ' n eed that a further reduction would be starva the, They are well aware, too, that in such a case T h .' e l an expect nothing from the Government. the 7 . "° I A7 that Government will not interfere, and b e, h se e no alternative, sad and erroneous though it Wor - k ut to tr y and help themselves by refusing to b e n_ 4 ' l .Y more. They are ge nera lly aware , t oo , we ' v e, that t h ey are ver y much dependent on one anoth„ w easin and mus t s t an d by eac h ot h er . A\ e quote a g anecdote, from Dr. TAILOR, for the sake of the truth which is deduced from it. Speaking of Marsden, he says : "I must add a noble trait. I wont into the holism of a widow, who had three children ; she was one of the most 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 better off, they felt themselves comparatively happy when 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 bi - ;en 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 perished, but for the cha rity of our neighbours,' was a phrase which 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 knew 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 been impossible for a few to have turned out the hands of almost every mill in Manchester. A few Chartists, Socialists, and others, have heretofore endeavoured to rouse them without 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 tbe 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 exceedingly 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. We 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. Our intelligence from Manchester is of a gloomy description. In another place we insert the accounts which we find in a second edition of the Manches ter Guardian Our private letters inform us that— " The turmoil seems spreading in all directions, and through all trades ; to-morrow, I should think, says one correspondent, there will not be a single factory or workshop open. Spinners, printers, dyers, machine makers—in fact, from all I can learn, there will not be an engine running in the whole town to-morrow. The report is, that a large party has gone to Bury, and the adjoining towns, to compel the men to follow the example of Manchester. Stirling, and Beck to❑ and Birley's are the only two places working, and each of these has a strong guard of police and soldiers to protect the men. This appears a different turn-out from all that have taken place before. On all former occasions turn-outs have been of some particular trade, but on this occasion the turn-out includes all trades and the whole district." Another correspondent says— " There is no doubt a considerable disposition on the part of a great number of the people to get food if they can, but I doubt if anything of a really serious character has been intended. I have just left Oxford-road, where I should think there are at least 20,000 people assem bled, without any visible object except that of getting out th,e hands. Special constables are being sworn in,-but we ow.i it to the moderation of the people themselves that no serious breach of the peace has ensued, for certainly there is no adequate force to protect property for one hour." " Where this will end," says another Correspondent, "it is impossible to conjecture. As I came to town a little before twelve, the Mayor of Stockport was hurrying into it. lie said the turn-outs were in the vicinity, and were expected in Stockport every moment when he left. He was coming to solicit the authorities for troops. He said they had none at Stockport, and the special con stables who had been sworn in, had refused to act." The whole of that crowded hive is, therefore, in commotion. Other hives will feel and share the im pub e. Such is the condition in which the Par liament is about to leave the country after six months' wearisome toil. Such is the condition of England after ten quiet months of the paternal rule of the Tories. This is not a time, how ever, to bandy accusations, and we regret to see some of the Tory journals, while their own columns bear witness to this; turn-out being caused by an attempt to lower wages, and while the leaders in it abuse the Corn-law repealing masters, ascribe the disturbance, which is ruinous to them, to their manoeuvres. In the Rev. Wm. COOKE TAYLOR'S notes of a tour in the manufacturing districts, he states that nothing but the hope still inspired by the Anti-Corn law League kept the peace ; and now that this hope is at an end, and the masters have begun to lower wages, a large turn.-out ensues. The riot is not.caused by the League, but by those politicians who have obstinately denied justice to the people. Lord PALMERSTON on Wednesday in a brilliant speech, which every person will read, made a series of somewhat bitter comments on the conduct of the Tories, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, with many sly and sareasti hits retorted on the Whigs. He declared that the absence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and other ex- Ministers, implied confidence in his Government. Lord PALMERSTON however is vehemently opposed to him, as if the Noble Lord to different views from his friends, and was much more the rival than the follower of Sir ROBERT. The mutual attacks of the Ins and the Outs cannot be otherwise than very advantageous to the public. The debate was sparkling, and the session expires, dolphin-like, displaying many beauties, not the least remarkable of which were the choice allusions made by Lord PALMERST'ON and Sir R. PEEL to each other's frequent changes of opinion. This was an awkward subject, and required delicate handling, and accord ingly the Whig Lord and the Tory Baronet agreed— instead of abu3ing—to exchange mutual compliments on the subject, just as those two Homeric warriors, GLAuc us and DIOMED, exchanged gifts, in the course of their set-to. His Lordship was perfectly satisfied that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S political changes were prompted by nought but the purest and most conscientious motives:; and the Baronet, in reply, entertained the strongest possible conviction that his opponent's inconsistencies sprang from causes equally spotless and disinterested. Having discussed this difficult branch of their subject, upon the safe and discreet principle thLt the pot should never call the kettle black, the rival chiefs renewed their onslaught with infinite vigour and acrimony. Lord PALMERSTON accused Sir ROBERT PEEL of excessive modesty ; and Sir ROBERT retaliated on his Lordship with a charge of excessive impudence! Of his Lordship's impu dence we say nothing ; he may, or may not, possess the intrepid assurance common to most diplomatists; the accusation, whether true or false, is not of the slightest moment ; but we do feel bound in jultice to come forward, and rescue our "lovely Premier"—as SYDNEY SMITH calls him —from the charge of being embarrassed with modesty. The charge is as false, as it is black. Of all existing statesmen, Sir ROBERT PEEL is the one least likely to labour under the disease of bashfulness. To be sure, he may have caught it of the Irish Members, xvh:li are peerliarly cmceptible of this malady ; but we io not think it at all probable ; and can only account, therefore, for Lord PALMERSTON'S accusation, on the supposition that it was - nieant ironically. These direct sparring-matches between the Ins and the Outs are, we repeat, exceedingly advantageous to the public, whom they will greatly help to enlighten respecting the true character of the, w ,t7o parties.. We are indebted to e tur respectable continental Contemporary, Galignard* Messenger, for the fol lowing interesting letter i'rom China. It is from the pen of a French Officer on board the French corvette, the Danaide. The date Macao, April, 1842" :--' " The result of this campaign has been that the Eng-. lish are at present in possession of five important points, Hong-kong, Amoy t Chusan, Ching-hae, and Ningpo ; that the commerce of forty millions of inhabi tants of the four maritime provinces of the Celestial Em pire are in their hands ; and that these conquests have been made with 4,000 men, and 16 men of war, of which the fitting out has cost considerable sums. The loss of sol diers has been about a sixth, and this loss proceeds from illness, privations, the climate, &c. The arms of the Chi nese have destroyed but few. By their occupation of Hong kong and Bocca Tigris, the English command the province of Kouang-tuung ; by holding Amoy, they are masters of Foukian ; and the occupation of Chusan, Ching-hae, and Ningpo enables them to intercept the commerce of Chekian and Kiansou. When the popu lation of those provinces is considered, as well as the little resistance that they have made to the English, the question arises—is the war at an end ? The greater part of the English officers are of opinion that it is not, but all unprejudiced persons - must see that England cannot continue it, for the expenses are incalculable, and the profit as yet has been nothing whatever. The sums taken from the Chinese, although considerable, are very far . from indemnifying the East India Company for their outlay ; they are, in fact, already absorb ed. The silk trade of China is what the English will prefer to all the other branches of trade. The Ameri cans, also, will transport Chinese silks to their markets, and it is to be feared that French silks will suffer con siderably in the American markets. There will be, it is stated, a difference of 40 or 50 per cent. in favour of Chinese silks. It would be important- if French com merce would pay some attention to that of China. Numerous commercial connexions are about to be esta blished between China, Europe, and America, and several cargoes have already been sent to the United States. The climate-of Ningpo, Ching-hae, and Chusan, is cold and moist, and woollen goods are quite unknown there. To de fend themselves against the temperature the Chinese wear silk stuffs well wadded. There can be no doubt that if they could have woollen goods they would adopt them, and therefore it is supposed that if the French traders, who go as far as Canton and Macao, were to ad vance to the latitude of Ningpo, they would have an excellent chance of disposing of their cloths. The Danaide is the first vessel of war which has appeared in the north of China. This vessel, which has been for four years in those latitudes, has shown the French flag to many nations unknown to Europeans, and has opened an easy road for French commerce in the north of the Celestial Empire. French shipowners ought not to let the opportunity thus offered escape. The Danaide is on her way home, and her crew has only one regret in quitting China—that of seeing so few vessels in com parison with those of the United States and other European nations. The French officers have gone through all the Chinese towns without ever having suffered the slightest insult from the Chinese ; the natives made a wide difference between the French and English, and the former were in all cases the object of much attention and kindly feeling. They could have brought away very considerable presents offered in the way of friendship, did they not fear to excite the jealousy of the English, and give them reason to think that they desired to profit by the late occurrences, and establish a connexion with the Chinese prejudicial to English interests. The best intelligence has always subsisted between our sailors and the English, and whe ther on shore or on board the officers of the two nations were on the most amicable terms." rata.— We have received the French journals. The debate in the French Chamber, up to the hour of post, is of great interest. There was, first, the nomination of the Committee of Address in reply to the KING'S Speech ; secondly, the presentation of the Regency Bill; and thirdly, the carrying of M. ODILLON BARROT'S motion for' a Parliamentary in quiry into the elections. This iast affair was regarded as a serious defeat of the Ministry. The Committee of Address consists of the following members :—MM. BERVILLE, LAVALETTE, AMILHAN, Viscount DEJEAN, JACQUES LEFEBVRE, DUMONT (Lot et Garonne), DENIS, DE LAMARTINE, and BIG EON. MM. BEEVILLE and LAVALETTE are of the TRIERS Opposition (Left Centre) and the others are Conservatives. The Moniteur of this morning announces in its official part the receipt of letters of condolence from the Rings of Sardinia, Naples, Saxony, Hanover, and Denmark, and the Duke of Lucca, on the death of the Duke of Orleans. Yestc:rday at noon the King came to the Tuileries, and soon atter held a Council of Ministers. After the Cornell his Majesty gave private audiences to Marshal Sebastiani, the Count de Montalivet, and Count Mole. The Duke de Nemours also came to Paris, and held con ferences at the Padillon Marsan with several Generals and superior officers appointed to commands at the camps of St. Omer and Chalons. At four o'clock his Majesty and the Duke de Nemours returned to Neuilly. The Monifeur publishes the Quarterly Report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, from which it ap pears that during the months of April, May, and June, they have purchased 232,333 f. Three per Cent. Rentes, which cost 6,270,250 E 40c., the average pike being 80E 90c. per cent. A letter from Munich, of the 2d instant, states that, new post-office regulations were agreed upon, and settled between Austria and Bavaria, by a treaty signed on the 27th ult., from which great advantages to both countries are anticipated. It only wants the ratifications of the two Courts to be carried into execution. A uniform rate of postage, equal to twopence English per letter, has been established throughout the Austrian dominions, and came into operation on the Ist inst. We have news from Constantinople of the 20th of July, by way of Vienna. The two private Secretaries of the Sultan, Izzet Bey and Tewlik Bey, wc re deprived of their offices on the 19th, and have lost the titles and privileges attached to them. The Madrid Journals of the 2d instant state that thanks to the good understanding between the Spanish mid Portuguese civil and military authorities on the fron tier, the band of the Chief Sermental, which infested the country on the frontiers of Estremadura, has been overtaken. Sermental and his companion Mata were killed. _ _ The two Governments had set many troops in motion for this operation. The Iberia sa:,.s---" The Minister of War is busily en gaged in the levy of 25,000 men voted by the Chambers. The class of 1836, consisting of the same number of 25,000 men, will be sent to their homes as soon as the recruits arrive, unless some extraordinary circumstance should reader it necessary for those veterans to !remain with their regiments. The Minister of Marine is taking measures to equip for service the Sovereign of the line, and the Pearl and Bilbao frigates. He intends also to re-establish the yards for ship-building at Cadiz. " A frigate, commanded by Captain Daral, is going , from Cadiz to Monte Video, for the purpose of pro tecting Spanish commerce in that country.

" Who r u ns may ,read." _ - • onsiGN. The election of Secretaries to .the Chamber of Depu ties took place on Monday, 'and 'three out of the four were chosen from the Conservativel'ltrikS. The Quotidienne gives the following extract of a letter addressed by the Duke de Bordeaux to the Marquis de Pastoret. . It is dated T-ceplitz, July 28 :—" On receiv ing the news of the sad event which you announce to me in your last letter, my - first impulse was to pay for and have prayers put up for the unfortunate victim. I was more favoured last year, and I am the more thankful to Providence, as I hope my life has only been preserved in order that it may be one day useful to my country. Whatever may be the course of events, they will always find me ready to devote myself to France, and to sacrifice every thing for her." Tile Journal des Debats has an article on the prospects of England, which is by no means flattering ; although not.qutte so virulent as the Presse, its tendency, we fear, will be to increase the Anglophobia, the French reign ing epidemic. The Debats states that Count de Sainte Aulaire, the French .Ambassador at London, has, fur the last, week, had an attack of bilious fever, which, though not of an alarming description, confines him to his bed and delays his return to England. As a proof of the distress of the lower orders of the people in Paris, the National states that there are up wards of 50,000 mattresses now in pawn at the Mont de Piete. We feel it right, however, to observe that the accounts from other sources seem to disprove the state ment of the National as to the existence of great distress amongst the industrious classes of the capital. A letter from the Electoral Prince • and Co-Regent of Hesse-Cassel, announcing the marriage o f his daughter; the Princess Louisa of Hesse, w i th Prince Christian of Sles wick- Holstein- Sonderbur g _G lucksburg, has been presented to the King by Bar on d e Schacnten, the Hes sian Minister. A letter of July 20, in the Augsburgh Gazette, states that a considerable re•inforcenlent to the Turkish troops intended to act against Bagdad left Smyrna on the 19th, under the command of Mustapha Pacha, for Da mascus, where further re-inforcements would arrive pre paratory to the commencement of hostile proceedings. A paper war has commenced between the Minister of the Interior and M. de la Touche, the late sous-prefect of Piormel, the former denying and the latter asserting that the Government intimated to him that as regarded the election of M. de la Rochejaquelin or M. de Sivry, it would prefer the return of two Legitimates - to that of one Liberal. The Spanish papers of the 2d contain no news what ever. Air. Washington Irving was presented to the Regent. PARWAIKEIFTAXIi% The Lords forwarded several Bills a stage last night. On the motion to read the Newfoundland Bill a third rime, Mr. Burge was called in and heard against the Bill. His eloquence had no effect on their Lordships, and his clients might have saved the fees they gave him. He spoke, in fact to judges who had made up their minds. The Bill, in spite of what he said, and in spite of a few observations of Lord Campbell, was read a third time and passed. Lord Brougham withdrew his Bill for the amendment of the Bankrupt Laws, and explained, at some length, why he withdrew it. The Noble Lord also said that Lord Denman's Bill for the Improvement of Evidence had been lost in the other House. Their Lordships then adjourn( d till this day. MONEY—WZADE—COMMERCE. At the meeting of the Proprietors of the Birmingham and Derby Junction Railway, on Tuesday, in the former town, it appeared from the Report that, from January to last June, 82,682 passengers had been carried by the railway, making since the opening of the line a total of 494,072. The amount received for traffic and carriage for the half-year had been a total of 29,3001., showing an increase of 1241. on the preceding half-year. ECCLESIASTICAL. About 32 inhabitants of St. Dunstan's, Fleet-street, appeared at Guildhall on Wednesday, on summonses for refusing to pay their respective shares of the Church-rate. The objections were stated, but over-ruled, and orders made for payment. ELECTIONEERING. Mr. Lane Fox, it is said, and not Viscount Villiers, stands'forward with Mr. Gladstone as Conservative can didate for Ipswich. The nomination for Belfast is appointed for Saturday next. LAW AND POLICE. The trial of Miss Crellin's case was resumed at Liver pool on Tuesday, before Lnrd Denman, when, after a lengthened investigation, a verdict of not guilty was re turned as to Rogerson and Mrs. Jones ; the other pri soners were found guilty, and sentenced as under, with the exception of Copeland alias Martin, on whom sen tence is deferred :—John Orr M‘Gill to be imprisoned eighteen calendar months, and kept to hard labour; John Osburn Quick to be imprisoned fifteen calendar months, and kept to hard labour ; and Mrs. Clayton and Richard Jones to be imprisoned twelve calendar months, and kept to hard labour. All the prisoners to be imprisoned in Lancaster Castle. The Foreman also added, on the delivery of the verdict—" We wish, my Lord, to add to the verdict the expression of our opinion that Miss Crellin b hus -been- highly culpable in the business." A young man, named Herman Geiger, apprehended by Forrester, the officer. at Manchester, was charged at the Mansion-house on Wednesday with having committed forgeries to a large amount. One bill for 2091. 1 Is. 3d., purporting to be drawn by Mr. Hall a woollen-merchant of Travis-street, upon Messrs. Dickenson and Co. ; and another for 80/. 3s. 6d., also drawn by the latter parties, were brought against him ; and he was finally remanded till next Wednesday. The case of Shaeklesford, who stands accused of hav ing defrauded several tradesmen of large quantities of goods, has been also postponed till the same day.

The match between the Sussex and Marylebone Club terminated on Tuesday, in favour of the latter, by four wickets. Sussex has lost thr ee matc h es out of four this season. The grand match between the gentlemen of Kent and the gentlemen of England, played last week at the Beverley-ground, Canterbury, was d ec ided in favour of Kent, after three days' play, by a ma j or ity of 173 runs. MISCELLANEouS. St. Paul's Cathedral, the int er i or o f which has accu mulated the dust and carbon of the atmosphere for the last half century, is now undergoing a thorough cleans ing and repainting. 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; olonel 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, t h e Chancellor of th e 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 Master 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 P ee l, the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President, and the E a rl of Haddington. The Court was attended by the Treasurer of the Household, the Viscount theVice-Ch cmbe Vice-Chamberlain , the Compt ro ll er o f Household,the r ere, G o ld S t i ck i n Waiting ; Colonel Buckley , Equ e rry 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. A person named Tarier, returning, on t h e 19th, from Thizy, on horseback, with considerable property in o hi ff or a s t e 'great money and notes, belonging to M. Bedin, a notary, was fired at from the side of a little wood, and hit in ' the h ti e le ad a . nim li a e l, f f e r l i l g i h rn te m n e e di dan d immediately the lifel ess shot. g f a r l o l o m p p h e i d s speed. A carman, who heard the rep ort , i mmediately began cracking his whip, and the assassin took to flight, leaving behind him a double- b arrelled gun, of which one of the barrels was still loaded, and it woman's dress, dress, with which he intended to disguise himself. S ome other persons coming up, it was determined to surround the wood and seek for the murderer. This was done, and a man named Gardet, only three months out of prison, was arrested. The Duke and Duchess of Buceleuch Went to the General Steam Navigation Company's wharf at Poplar, on Wednesday evening, to witness th e depart ure o f t h e younger branches of their familyin the Company's splendid new ship Princess Royal, Captain T. W. Morris, for Edinburgh. The Duke and Duchess ex pressed their unqualified approbation of the magnificent vessel, and also of the entire arrangements on b oar d. Among the passengers,. in addition to the Duke's family, were the Hon. Captain Stuart, Captain Ramsay, and Lady Macdonald. Sir B. Macnamara, the Rev. E. Jenkins, and the Rev. C.. 1. H. Millman, left Blackwall On Tuesday, in the Soho steam-ship, for Antwerp. The Hon. Gerald Noel, and Mr. Hughes Hughes, were among the passengers that left London on Tuesday, in the steam-packet Sir Edward Banks, for Ostend, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The rczounts from the manufacturing 4istrict9 which appeared in The Sun of tc-day, liave 'caused deep regret in the City, and to a certain extent have suspended business both in the money .and produce market. The effect upon the • prices of the funds has not been material, and though sufficient to have induced ,purchases at Ilia decline, scarcely one of consequence has been made, or a sale effected. The rate nominally was 91i 92 for Money and for the Account. Bank Stock, 1701 1711 ; India Stock, 2491 2501 ; Exchequer Bills, 014 50 52, New 4S 50 prem.

These can 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 420,0001 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 proceedings 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 time ; being, as the Chairman of Committee of the 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. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The acccunts from Manchester have created a great degree of uneasiness in the Money Market, and ren dered it extremely flat. Consols are 913 92 for Money, and for the Account ; Three per Cents.

Transactions in Shares have been—South Western, 62:1; Brighton, 343; and Eastern Counties, New, 61.95. 2d. Spanish Five per Cents. at 20i are the only Bonds quoted to-day. The remainder of the India mail has arrived, but the contents have been anticipated. Private letters from the West Indies give very satisfactory information as to the condition and improving prospects of some of the colonies. The crop of sugar had turned out quite as good and as large as h a d een anticipated, and the pro ceeds of this year's produce would, it was expected, go far towards removing the depression caused by the late par tial failures. The great drawback was, however, the want of labour, but the improved condition of the neero population, coupled with a supply of of emigrants, would, it was believed, in the course of a short period, remedy this. Many had by their exertions rendered themselves independent, and become proprietors of small plots of ground, upon which they were living, and it was thought that the prospect of still further advancing themselves would be a sufficient incentive to increased exertions on the estates. Altogether the letters by this mail are the most cheering which have been received for a long period.

Thomas Koppel," recently published by Col burn, the following amusing incident is told, of the Admiral being duped by George the Third, when his Majesty was about to dissolve the " Coalition" Ad ministration :—" The same night Keppel had an audi ence of the King. lie had previously appointed Mr. Adair to sup with him at ten o'clock. It was past twelve before Keppel returned home. Why, Admiral,' said Adair, where have you been ? Here have I been waiting for my supper these two hours.' Keppel replied, I have been with the King ; I thought I should never have got away. His Majesty has been most kind to me ; he inquired about our prospects and plans, and treated me with so much openness and honesty, that I entered fully into the state of affairs, with which he seemed highly pleased.' And you believe him ?' drily asked Mr. Adair. Keppel felt hurt at the doubt. Adair contented himself with saying, Well, we shall see.' Before they parted, a note arrived from Lord Temple, to inform Lord Keppel that his Majesty had no further occasion for his services. This was one of those appa rent marks of kindness which the King knew so well how to practice." We Collect the following accounts of the harvest in several parts of France from the provincial journals. In the department of the Aisne the rye and wheat will be of superior quality, but in small quantity ; oats will scarcely give a quarter of the usual crop in poor lands, but in rich ground the return will be an ordinary crop. In the Yonne, rye and wheat are equally fine. In the Cher, wheat will be abundant both for ear and straw, and oats will give a fair crop. In the Isere, rye and wheat will be abundant, and of par ticularly fine quality ; maize, potatoes, and other vegetables promise well. In the Vosges the crop is scanty, and a great quantity of wheat had been scorched up, and in the mountainous parts barley, oats, and buck wheat have failed. In the Meuse the wheat will be fine, oats promise badly, barley thin but fine, hay almost a total failure. In the Somme the harvest will be fine ; wheat in good lands has not suffered from the drought, and leaves nothing to be de sired either for quality or quantity, but the late wheat has been scorched up. The second crop of vetches and lucern have failed.—ln the Seine-et-Oise the rye is abundant and of good quality ; the wheat is good, but in small quantity. Forage will be exceedingly scarce. In the Aube the rye is magnificent, the wheat has little straw, but fine ears, oats and barley are very poor, and buck wheat in small quantity. THE COTTON MARKET.—The sales of cotton during the week ending oa Friday were unusually extensive, having amounted to no less than 54,090 bales. Of these 13,000 were taken by speculators, who, by the bye, have not bought so many by 18,000 bales as they had bought up to the same period in the lest year. On Saturday the sales were also very extensive, 10,000 bags having changed hands, 2,000 on speculation. The market was, throughout the week, freely supplied ; still, with so active and extensive a demand for the staple, prices could not but advance. The advance has been l id. to id. per pound on the prices of the preceding week, and the market closed on Saturday very firm. The computed stock now on hand in Liverpool is less by 20,000 bales than it was at the corresponding period in last year. But the stocks now held by manufacturers must, from the recent extensive purchases, be heavier.—Liverpool Albion. FRESH EGGS.—We beg to offer a plain piece of advice to cottagers on this subject, which, if properly acted upon, will give them the means of at all times com manding the highest price for fresh eggs, although situated a hundred miles or more from the place of sale. Smear all your eggs with good fresh butter the moment you get hold of them. Do not load the shell with grease, but merely give it a slight varnish. By this simple pro cess the egg is placed as fresh on the breakfast table when three months' old as if just laid.—lnformation for the People. THE WILL OF THE LATE MAR QUIS OF HERTFORD. It was our intention to have laid before our readers a copy of the various codicils executed at different times by the late Marquis of Hertford ;. but the terms made use of by the defunct, in speaking of certain in dividuals, will not allow us, in all cases, even to lay an abstract before our readers. In one case, for in stance, the Marquis, speaking of two persons, says, "Aware of the infamy of the character of one of them, he wishes the other to be as little in the power of that person as possible, and regulates certain payments, in order that the one person may have no occasion to shorten the life of the other." A curious question occurs here. A person writing a letter reflecting on another, by delivering that letter to the party to whom it is addressed, eithe r p ersona ll y , through a messenger, or through the Post-office, is held to have published it, and is liable for the con tents. Sir Francis Burdett was punished for a libel contained in a letter delivered into the Leicester Post office. But the publication by letter is as nothing compared with the publication in Doctors' Corn mons. A newspaper would, of course, become liable to the party injured by publishing a libellous bequest; but supposing merely the publication in Doctors' Commons itself, to which every person can have access, on the payment of a small fee, to what extent is posthumous libelling allowable ? May A couple with a provision to B accusations of the most revolt ing nature against C as a motive for the peculiar terms in which the bequest is conceived ? In the will his Lordship gives a bust and writing box of King Charles, among other things, to his wife ; and a picture by Vandyke, of himself, as pairs to George IV. 5,0001. to each of his executors, to purchase some thing in remembrance of him. They are, for the most part, munificently remembered by him in codicils : Tlir names are—Lord Lowther, J. Wilson Croker, Edmund Hopkinson, Spenser Horsay de Horsay, Captain Henry Meynell, R.N. Codicil 1 bequeaths 5001. a year to Anne Sessons (passing at Aldhorough as Anne Steele) to be raised from the interest on the money derived from the sale or mortgage of his Birmingham property, part of which he likewise gives to George Seymour. " I also bequeath her," says the testator, "my di amon d badge of the Order of St. Anne of Russia." " To Elizabeth Dupuis, of the Star Inn, Oxford, 2,000/. for her own sole use, independent of her hus band. To each of the hospitals, of which I may be governor at the time o f m y death, 100/." In Codicil 2, 50,0001. are bequeathed to Sir Robert Peel, and, in case of his death, to John Wilson Cro ker, to be laid out for the benefit of Lady Dillon Strachan, wife of Admiral Sir Richard Strachan, 13art., according to directions contained in a sealed letter which will be delivered to her, and he trusts to the honour of either entirely for its application, ac cording to the wish expressed in that letter. After which is the following:— "Dear Peel,—By a codicil this day I have given 50,0001. absolutely to you, on honour, to be applied in pursuance of the directions contained in a letter to be delivered to you, or in case of your death, with the same legacy, to John W. Croker, with same in structions, that this may be for her own separate trust and use, in the names of Earl Elgin and Edward Marjoribanks, already her executors in other matters; and of course you will do it with such precautions of secrecy as may prevent unfounded and ill-natured re marks on this act of friendship and respect. God bless you, &c. "To the Right Honourable Sir 'Robert Peel." Codicil 3. The villa in the Regent's Park is be queathed, with all that it contains, together with the grounds, &c., to Louisa, wife of Admiral Sir Richard Strachan, and 10,0001. To Sir Richard Strachan, 5,0001. To Sir Robert Peel, his diamond star of George and Garter, "convinced that he will soon be entitled to wear them ; or, if he would rather, to be laid out to purchase something for Lady Peel, to keep in remembrance of an old friend." At the end of this codicil, he says—" Of course the pecuniary legacies above given are to be paid out of my personals and stock, and my executors will be good enough to inquire about my Five per Cent. French Stock, which is now a large sum in the Grand Livre de France." Elsewhere he gives to the poor of the parishes of Aldborough and Lisburn 1001. each. The yearly in terest of certain real estates in Birmingham to be in vested for an annual sum of 1,0001. for Anne Sessons. Codicil 6. 1,000/. is bequeathed to his valet, Ni cholas Suisse, if living at his death, over and above any other bequests. All his wines (those in the house in Regent's Park excepted), to J. W. Croker. Codicil 7. " Whereas I have given in a former codicil certain lands and tenements and other property in and about Birmingham to Captain G. Seymour, R.N., or to his sons ; I hereby revoke and annul it in favour of Captain Seymour and his sons, and give them to Anne Sessons, alias Spencer, alias Sheldon, finding my relations only like to plague me." Codicil 8. Bequeaths 7001. yearly rent-charge upon his settled estates in the county of Suffolk, and pa rishes of Lambeg and Glenevy, in the county of An trim, in Ireland, to Lady Strachan, which he had given in his will to his wife the Marchioness. "In consequence of my wife having received very large sums from the estates of the late Duke of Queens bury, I revoke the above annuity of 7001. a year over and above the jointure of 3,0001. a year under family settlements." Codicil 9. 5,000/. to the Honourable John 11. King, who witnessed the above yesterday, as a mark of regard and friendship. Dowager-Countess liawar den, 8,000/. Codicil 11. " I revoke any benefit or advantage by any former codicil to G. Seymour, or his son or heirs, his family having displeased me, and I reduce the legacy to Horace Seymour one-half, from 10,0001. to 5,0001. I revoke my appointment of SU= Robert Peel and Henry Cooke as my executors, and every legacy left to either, and appoint Spencer Horsay de Horsay, to whom I give 3,0001. for his trouble." Codicil 12 bequeaths to his three wards, the daugh ters of Sir Robert and Lady Strachan, 20,0001. each, and to Lady Strachan all stock he may die possessed of in the Neapolitan Funds. Codicil 14 bequeaths to his valet, Suisse, 2,0001. To Charlotte L. Strachan, one of the above wards, " over and above other bequests, 15,000/." Codicil 15 gives Lord Lowther, Sir Edmund An trobus, and Edward Marjoribanks, 10,000/. over and above legacy-tax, in tru s t t o b e laid out for the sole benefit of his ward, Matilda Strachan, now Countess of Bertholt. Codicil 16. " I bequeath, over and above all other legacies, the sum of 20,0001. to each of my three wards, Matilda L., Countess of Bertholt, Charlotte and Louisa Strachan, out of my personal estate or funded property." Codicil 17. Lady Strachan having formed a con nexion that is displeasing to him, he orders the name of Lady Strachan to be erased, and that of Anne Sessons to be substituted in a document, wherein he bequeathed to her, besides his plate at Coutts's, 20,000 francs and 50,000 dollars Louisiana Bonds, in two, parcels, on condition that she destroys a picture in one of the parcels before one of his executors. The house in the Regent's Park he now bequeathes to Charlotte L. Strachan, on condition that she marries an Englishman, and that she lets her mother (should she become a widow, or live apart from her husband, Philip Pisollillis) reside in it during her life. Codicil 18 revokes all bequests to Louisa Strachan, now Marchioness of Salsa. Codicil 19 gives Anne Sessons, calling herself Spencer, 5,0001. ready money " to begin with before she gets to Birmingham." Codicil 23. To Charlotte L. Strachan, if she mar ries an English subject, his mother's diamond neck lace, buckle, and earrings, on condition that she offers them to Lord Yarmouth, in case he likes to pay 10,0001. to her trustees, to be laid out for her use, in dependent of her husband. In one codicil he says that "he leaves his bequests to all the women to be like those of the Duke of Queensbery, not subject in any way to the co n t ro l o f th e i r h us b an d s. " Codicil 22. " In case my ward, Charlotte Strachan, should decline passing the remainder of her nonage with either her mother or her young husband, I be queath to either my cousin Elizabeth Weymouth, or to Lady Louisa Kilderbeck Horsay, with whichever she chooses to place herself and is willing to take charge of her, as many times 500/. as calendar months may remain between my death and Char lotte's full age; but it is my wish and opinion that the time would be better passed under her mother's roof, but I fear reasons and intentions which Lady Strachan's infatuation render her blind to, might make such residence very unadvisable." If Lady Strachan agrees to this arrangement, he gives her 5,0001. over and above all other bequests; but if she contests and disputes it for the space of one week, then this codicil revokes all former legacies to her one-half. Codicil 24 bequeaths to Charlotte L. Strachan all stock or money that he should die possessed of in the funds called Monte de Milano, which is between 20,0001. or 30,0001. sterling. To Countess - 7,0001. To John W. Croker, 5,000/. To the medi cal attendant at th e ti me o f hi s d eat h , 3,0001 To Suisse, the valet, 2,0001. Codicil 26. He gives 16,0001. in certain bequests to servants. Half, in the first place, namely, 8,000/., he bequeaths to his head valet, Suisse (in addition to all the other legacies), whom he styles " an excellent man." 1,0001. to his cook, notbecause he thinks he is not deserving of more, but because he has made a good deal in his service. His coachman and another servant are then mentioned for a handsome gift, and the remainder is to be divided at the executors' plea sure to others who may have claims, and next to those who have slept under his roof, or been abroad with him, 2001. he gives to his housekeeper at Dorchester house, with an annuity of 601. To Rebecca Cole, in charge of the villa in the Regent's-park, the same. He also gives the servants who were with him as S 1/ .:7... gt.../..,/ -7.- ..-,,' N t (11 . 1 - 74 ; :iN st c) ;11Ircel-r - 1,1 , 2 : i Z Lord Yarmouth three years' wages, and those whn a t tx itsAR have been with him. t. Codicil 27. He had formerly given two parcels, containing 104 Austrian bonds of 1,000 florins cash to Countess Bertholt, he confirms said disposition. and adds 20,0001. To Charlotte L. stracinin, 11,000/. ; to J. W. Croker, 9,000/., besides all other legacies; to Suisse, 2,600/. Codicil 29. To all his servants indiscriminately, one year's wages and board wages, over and a b ove what he may owe th em . T o his courier, 1,500/. ; to Suisse (again), 2,0001.; to Charlotte Countess of Zichy Ferraris, 15,0001.; to Matilda Countess Bertholt, 5,000/. ; to Countess Emanuel de Zichy, over and above all other bequests and legacies, all goods and chattels, plate, linen, and money at his bahker's, horses, carriages, &c., that he may die pos sessed of at Mila n or i n L om b ar d y, on condition that she gives 3,0001. to the Casa d'A— to make an annuity for Angelina Borel. In the last codicil, " wishing to give as much as possible to Lady Strachan, now he withdraws all except a pension of 7001. a year and 10,0001. To Dowager Countess Hawarden, at different times, he gives 8,0001. and 15,000/. To Captain Meynell, R.N., 3,000/. and 2,0004 for the respect he entertains for his feeling and assiduous services to his "the deceased) mother's executors' business. The executors appeared personally in the Preroga tive Court of Canterbury, and declared that they had made diligent search and inquiry of Messrs. Coutts, and are enabled to depose that, at the time of the death of the testator, there were no parcels de scribed in a codicil as containing 20,000 francs and 50,000 dollars Louisiana bonds, and a picture, in that firm, of deceased, nor any in their possession directed to Lady Strachan or Anne Sessons, and they verily believe that at the time of his death there were none.

A .NOTHER BLOW AT THE CORN-LAW.--We under stand that machinery is now ready, and about to be forthwith sent out by the Admiralty to Malta, for the purpose of making there the supply of biscuit necessary for the Mediterranean fleet. This will be an immense advantage to the sailors, as, at present, a three-years' stock of bread is taken from this country, and much of it becomes quite unfit for use before the expiration of that time. Ships in the Mediterranean will now be able to procure their supplies as needed. This arrangement will also have an important effect in diminishing the demand for corn for export from this country, and in conjunction with the measure for permitting merchant vessels to take their supplies duty free from bond, will virtually leave the entire home growth for home consumption.—Liver pool Paper. THE WEATUER.—TIIUNDER STORM.—The weather during the last three or four days has been exceedingly hot, more particularly on Wednesday, when the thermometer at noon reached 90 degrees. In the morning the wind was south, and soon after daybreak clouds appeared gathering from the south-east, notwithstanding which, however, the sun continued to shine brilliantly until the afternoon, and towards four o'clock the gathering clouds betokened an approaching storm. Shortly before five o'clock a gentle shower of rain commenced, and the wind suddenly shifted and blew up fresh from the west, and soon :afterwards the metropolis, and for miles round, particularly the south and western suburbs, were visited by a storm of thunder and lightning, but not of so terrific a character as that which occasioned so much damage a few days since. The storm lasted about half an hour, during which it rained heavily, but about six o'clock the rain abated. Towards seven o'clock the heavens again became overcast, and more rain fell, accompanied by distant thunder, and at dusk the appearance of the sky indicated a return of the storm, which occurred about midnight, and continued with great violence for above two hours. CATECHISM OF A DIE VERNON.--A young lady in Yorkshire one day happened to fall into conversation with a not very young gentleman of that county—a some what slow and patent safety—when the following laconic and pithy dialogue took place :—Lady—Do you hunt ? Gent.—No. Lady—Do you shoot ? Gent.—No. Lady —Do you fish? Gent.—No. Lady (rather provoked and somewhat energetic)—Do you farm, then? Gent.— No. Lady (out of all patience)—l wonder you don't hang yourself —The lady was right; for, as Paley observes, " Engagement is everything." In my humble opinion, every lady should take the field, because, if she do not become what is called " a crack shot," she must always be " A pretty fair one."— The Modern Shooter, by Capt. Lacy The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have ordered the sale of the materials of the Old Thatched House Tavern and the adjoining houses and shops, at the Pall Mall end of St. James's-street, preparatory to the new improvements projected in that quarter. On the site of the Thatched House, which has been closed, it is in contemplation to erect a splendid new club house, the ground having been taken of the Crown for that purpose. THE EDINBURGH CHAIRS OF PHYSIC AND PA.' THOLOGY.—Dr. Home has resigned the Chair of Prac tice of Physic, on condition of receiving a retiring allow ance of 3001. a year, and is succeeded by Dr. Alison. Dr- Craigie has been elected to the vacant Chair of Pa. tb ology. THE HARVEST AND THE VINTAGE.—FRANKFORT, Auc. G.—Letters from mercantile houses at Maintz say that the corn trade in that market has been very dull this week. The accounts from Berlin of the failure of several great corn-merchants, had discouraged pur chasers. The prospects of a good and abundant vintage are everywhere favourable. White and black grapes, perfectly ripe, and of excellent quality, have already been offered for sale in many markets of our wine countries. CRITICAL POSITION OP THE DUKE OF SAXE CO BURG.—AU Ostend Journal gives an account of a critical position in which the Duke of Saxe Coburg was placed on the 2d inst., whilst shooting sea-gulls. It appear& that the Prince set out at four in the evening in his car riage, to proceed along the strand towards Blacken berghe. Whenever a sea-gull appeared the carriage stopped and the Prince fired. The tide was coming in fast, and consequently the carriage was frequently in the water. After one stoppage, a little longer than usual, it was impossible for the horses to move the carriage, which had sunk up to the axletrees in the sand. The Prince was obliged to get out, and reach terra firma on the shoulders of the postilion. Additional horses were pro cured after some time, and the carriage was dragged out. The Duke returned to Ostend the same evening at a late hour. A SON OLDER THAN HIS PAPA.—At Fremwalde, near Berlin, a woman of 103 years of age, has just con tracted a fourth marriage with a man of 70. Amongst the children which the bride brought to her new husband was a "boy" of 83! WICK, Auo. 4.—The herring fishing at this place has been tolerably, successful during the week ; but is considerably under an average fishing. The average for each boat, up to this date, may be stated at twenty-two crans, whereas we find, on looking over our files, at the same period last year, the average was fifty. In 1840, it was twenty-five ; and, in 1339, seventy-five crans per boat. If the weather keeps moderate, there is still plenty of time and good prospects of making a fair fish ing. Three cargoes of Norway timber, for barrel staves, arrived here this week. The price is 8-kd. per foot. We find on inquiry, that forty-eight cargoes of this a: - tiele have been landed here this season, ,and twelve at Helmsdale ; which is about a third more than the whole importations of last year. Several more cargoes are still expected.—John o' Groat's Journal. THE INFLUENZA.—We have seen lately in the newspapers that purging is condemned by one Doctor when the i n fl uenza prevails. Other medical men say that purgin g is necessary,—which of the two is correct, reader ? W e say that purging by Morison's Vegetable Medicines is the proper treatment, not only as regards the influenza, but also every other complaint. Why is not this important question settled by . a fair investiga tion, so that doubt may no longer exist in the public mind ?—British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road, London, Aug. 9, 1842.
