GEORGE STEAM PAr' r — COMPANY'S VESSELS SAIL reg. The courtmartial re-assembled yesterday, a 3 usual, on board his Majesty's ship Hastings, at Sheerness. Lieutenant Walker intimated his intention to pro ceed with the seventh charge, which was read over by the Judge-Advocate, and was as follows :--°• For issuing, between the 23d of March and 17th of July, 1832, divers vexatious orders, both verbal and written, not required for the good of the service, but for the purpose of annoyance to myself, officers, and crew of the Alban, more particularly in forbidding the second master and myself to be out of the vessel at the same time, which was frequently requisite on duty, although there were also a mate and two midshipmen on board liar; in ordering me on board whilst watching his officers playing at cricket, though myself and officers had his permission to remain on shore whilst the Alban was painted, and it was the dinner hour; in ordering some of the Alban's crew on board when on duty or leave ; using opprobrious language to them, and for general contumacious and humiliator}' conduct to me whilst under his orders, tending to degrade me in the estimation of the crews of the Alban and Barham." Lieutenant Walker was then examined on oath._ About the completion of the painting of the Alban, Captain Pigott gave me a personal order that the se cond master and myself should never be out of the vessel at the same time, a restriction never placed upon me before or afterwards by any other senior offi cer, under whose command I had been whilst com manding the Alban, including at least three admirals and other officers senior to Captain Pigott, and in my humble opinion was, .as far as my knowledge of the service extends, an order unprecedented, or, at *ll events, unusual, and therefore vexatious. At this pe-• Hod no services of any great emergency were going on ; it was always in my power to get on board if needed, being usually within sight of the vessel when ashore, and having frequently observed Captain Pi gott and several of his officers, including his first lieu tenant, on shore together for hours.

A. AUSTIN, Gray's Inn. May 26, 1834. MEETING of the PARISH of ST. GEORGE, HANOVER-SQUARE, MAY 28. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES, May 28. KING'S THEATRE. The German company at this theatre, under the able direction of Herr Roeckel, performed last night, for the first time in this country, Winter's beautiful r Opera, Das Unterbrochene Opferfest (The Inttr- Hrupted Sacrifice). An adaptation of this delightful work was produced some time since at the English Opera House, but the manner in which it was got up. and the style in which the music was executed, were not likely to give the public the most favourable opi nion of the opera. When performed by a German company the peculiar beauty of Winter's compositions are heard and enjoyed with the best effect; and al though last night there were some disadvantages which might have marred the first representation of so difficult a performance, the singers exerted themselves with a result which could scarcely have been more favourable had they possessed every advantage. Das Unterhrochene Opferfest de serves to be better known in Englarid than it is. The melodies are remarkable for pure feeling and truth of expression, reminding us very forcibly occasionally of Haydn and Mozart; yet they possess sufficient variety; for some of them may as strongly be distinguished for a graceful trifling in the treatment, which renders them pleasing to the many. The harmonies are par ticularly rich, and in many instances singularly felicit ous. The opera appeared to •give universal satisfac tion, and the applause was so loud and long at the fall of the curtain as to induce the principal performers to appear before the audience, and to receive the cus tomary marks of approbation. Attracted by the continued 'fineness of the weather and the favourable commencement of the meeting, the company present to-day was considerably more numerous than on Tuesday • their expectations of good sport were not disap pointed, the stakes comprehended in the bill of fare for the day having afforded seven races, some of which were well contested. In the fashionable part of the attendance there MI6 a decided falling off=a circumstance to be attributed solely to the counter-attractions of his Majesty's birthday and the Review in Hyde-park. The list of visiters in cluded the Duke of Grafton, the Marquis - Graham, Mar quis of Conyngham, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl Verulam, Count Matuscewic, Lord G.

CHAS. B. BALDWIN, Esq., in the Chair. The Chairman, after having stated in detail the object of 5 5 Meeting, proceeded to read a letter from the Baron 'erttloup, of which the following is a copy " Gentlemen,—After ten years of laborious study, and Y dint of numerless experiments, I have succeeded in creating a new art, the object of which is to cure patients "'meted with the stone without having recourse to in eision. " The importance of these studies has been fully con firmed by honourable marks of distinction bestowed three ulfferenttimes upon their author, by the Royal Academy of Science& at Paris, viz. A pecuniary recompense 4 warded to him in the year 1827; 2dly. The first prize Surgery in 1828 ; and, lastly, the first prize of Surgery ° f 1833. " Their value is further established by numerous opera fio asped both in France and in England; and, as should possible, publicly, In order that no doubt whatever 'floold be entertained as to their success. " The results of this mode of operating being there woo fee e so beneficial, claim the attention of the benevolent, l an interest in the propagation of objects of utility. h " With this object in view, gentlemen, and the cause of ti loanity at heart, I have taken the liberty of requesting ,is Meeting, in order to determine the most advisable m eans of establishing a Dispensary for the purpose of ex '`uding the benefits of this operation to the poor.

Letters from various individuals were also read, express 'lt Ing their regret at not being able to attend the Meeting, acquiescing in opinion as to the importance of the measure, and stating their wish to contribute in every pos sible way to the carrying of it into execution. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting upon the t lvantages which the poor would derive from such an es tablishment as that proposed by the Baron Heurteloup. b _W_ hereupon it was unanimously resolved that measures forthwith adopted for carrying into effect the measure • p r oposed by Baron Heurteloup, by establishing a Dispen ;n for the operation of Lithotripsy, and the following gen omn readily consented to act as a Provisional Committee v r z t h . e purpose of giving effect to the above resolution, tl vc . 17 - erY Rev. the Dean of Jas. liamsbottom, Esq. 3 . eq nster.

DARKNESS AND LIGHT.—I could not help feeling that, of all the beautiful contrasts in nature, there can be no one more vivid than the sudden change between darkness and light. How weary we should be of eternal sunshine,—how gloomy would it be to grope through one's life in utter darkness ; and yet, what loveliness do each of these, by contrast, impart to the other ! On the heights above the village, how magnificent was the darkness after a hot sunshining day ! And then, again, how lovely was the twinkling even of tallow candles, when they suddenly burst upon this darkness Yet it is with these two ingredients that nature works up all her pictures ; and, as Paga nini's tu nes a ll come out of two strings of cat-gut, and two of the entrails of a kitten, so do all the varieties which please our eyes proceed from a mixture in diffe rent proportions of light and shade ; and, indeed, in the moral world, it is the chiaro-'scuro, the brightness and darkness of which alone forms the happiness of our existence.—Bubbles from the Brunnens of Nag sau, A meeting of the rate-payers of this parish took place at, twelve o'clock this day, at the Work-house, Mount-street, HENRI' G. KNIGHT, Esq., Churchwarden, in the Chair. for the purpose of appointing vestrymen and auditors of accounts for the ensuing year. Among those present we observed Earl Amherst,. Earl Harewood, the Earl of Dar lington, Earl of Haddington, Sir W. , Fremantle, Sir Stratford Canning, Sir J. Swinburne, Hon. R. Smith, Hon. R. Clive, &c. &c. • The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting upon its thinness, as it was a proof that the parishiOners generally were satisfied with the manner in which the affairs of the parish were conducted. The object of the meeting was to appoint thirty-six vestrymen and five auditors of accounts. Before that was done he would move the appointment of eight inspectors. The Chairman then moved a resolution to that effect, which was carried unanimously. The Earl of HanniNGToN said he had been one of the committee appointed by the parish to prepare a list, which it. was now his duty, at the request of his colleagues, to lay before them. The gentlemen named had pledged themselves to discharge their duty zealously and efficiently, and it would be found that they were all highly respect able. Some of them had formerly been vestrymen, and others were now nominated for the first time, so that the one would profit by the experience of the other portion, And all, he trusted, would take a share in the labour !if discharging the duties of their office. The noble lord then read the list, and moved its adoption. Mr. IZARD objected to one name, that of Mr. Skeat, as he was employed by the parish. A GENTLEMAN observed that he had been, btit was not now employed by the parish. Sir S. CANNING came forward very willingly to second the motion of his noble friend. The list was highly re spectable, and it would be impossible to procure men more calculated to give satisfaction to the parish. (Hear.) The system of uniting the higher ranks with the middle classes was worthy of imitation by those who were called upon to manage more extensive concerns than those of a parish, as it had been productive of the most beneficial effects. He . begged, on these considerations, to give his cordial sup port to the motion. Mr. HARRIS, of South-street, _ complained that there were but 13 tradesmen in the list. . It was an admitted principle at the time of the adoption of Sir J. Hobhouse's Act, that there should be an equal number of tradesmen and gentlemen. Hs wished, however, to be understood as not moving any amendment. Mr. W. OwEic observed that the first year of the ap pointment of the Committee there had been a greater number of tradesmen than of the other class—if the two lots were put together, it would be found that there were exactly 50 tradesmen and 50 of the other class. (Hear, hear. ) Mr. Iz ARD complained that no hour had been mentioned for holding the meeting, in the notice sent to him, and that mightaccount for the thinness of the meeting. A Gentleman observed, that the notice posted by the churchwardens on the church and chapel doors stated twelve o'clock. They knew of no other notice. Mr. ARBER objected to any of the old vestrymen being now appointed. It would have been better if parishioners left out had been put on, and some of those put on omitted. Many of the noblemen and gentlemen appointed were out of town eight months of the year, and in fact some of them never attended. He had hoped that at least one half of the list would have been tradesmen. He hardly knew whether he felt disposed to move an amendment. (Laughter.) There was, for instance, Mr. Robinson, a very active man, and a tradesman to whom the question of was he willing to serve had never been put. Mr. RoeiNsoN said, as his name had been alluded to, he would take the liberty of saying a few words. He would not adopt the last speaker's sentiments, but would actfrom the best of his own judgment. He objected strongly to the proceedings of the committee, and he thought the old sys tem less objectionable, as there was greater responsibility. (Oh.) He had been like Daniel in the lion's den, where all were attacking him. The committee had got into a system of jobbing which they should have been ashamed of. They first nominated themselves, and then their patrons and customers. (Hear and laughter.) He begged it might be understood that he brought no charge against any one. The present, he contended, was no public elec tion ; it was merely a nomination. He thought the yes-_l try might have done much more than they had done. If' the poor laws were about to be amended—( Order. ) Mr. R. apologized for being out of order. Lord HAREWOOD begged to say a few words. The hon. gentleman who had last addressed them appeared to cast some imputation upon the Committee that had been ap pointed, but he (Lord H.) denied that there had been any thing done clandestinely; every thing was done in the most public roomer, and every rate payer in the parish had full opportunity of declaring his sentiments upon that occasion. That gentleman had a perfect right to declare his sentiments at that meeting, and as by his absence or silence he had acquiesced in their proceedings he had no right now to come forward and complain. (Hear, hear.) . He thought the great object should. be to preserve the peace of the parish, and that this Act was one of the best means of erecting it. (Cheers.) Mr. READ thought that the gentleman who had ad dressed them (Mr. Robinson) should have confined him self to objections upon principle, instead of making a per sonal attack upon the committee. Mr. ROBINSON said his observation was applied to the Committee of 1833. Mr. READ—Then the gentleman was completely out of order, as he should not have made any allusion to the committee of 1833. So far as the assertion that the former committee had appointed their patrons and cus tomers applied to him, it was a perfect falsity, and he be lieved, so far as it applied to others, it completely fell to the ground. Mr. Reed then proceeded to detail the proceed ings of the former meeting, and contended that the asser tion that the list had been a packed one was ut terly unfounded. (Hear, hear.) He was surprized that, after gentlemen had devoted their time for the benefit of the parish, they should now be met by such unfounded charges. In the selection of the list it would be seen that there were men of all parties and politics, and some who, although of adverse opinions to gentlemen present, he was satisfied would discharge their duties ably and efficiently. The Earl of HADDINOTON thought that what had just been said was a complete answer and refutation of the charges preferred against the committee by Mr. Robinson. The noble lord proceeded to argue upon the beneficial ef fects of Sir J. Hobhouse's act, in putting an end to the strife and contention that had previously prevailed in the management of parochial affairs. He was a good deal sur prised when he heard a charge of nomination made, as the committee had been appointed at a public meeting, at which all the ratepayers of the parish were at liberty to at tend. He trusted the same system would be persevered in, as it had been productive of concord and good manage ment in the parish. Mr. OWEN explained that several of the names were added at the meeting, andis to the former committee having named their patrons and customers,he told Mr. Robinson tohis face that it was false. If ever he would devote himself to the affairs of the parish more particularly, it would be to exclude so objectionable a person as Mr. Robinson from any share in the management of its affairs. (Hear, and laughter.) A Parishioner bore testimony to the efficiency and re spectability of the list that had been read. Mr. GUTIIRIE defended the manner in which the com mittee had been appointed, and assured the meeting that they had used their best endeavours to have an efficient and honest list prepared, and he was glad to find that the parishioners generally were of that opinion. Mr. Moitais said that instances had occurred in which persons had solicited the committee to place them on the lit. (Cries of "No, no.") Mr. ROBINSON explained. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, that the list be adopted, which was carried unanimously. Mr. IZARD said that, after the explanations which had been given, he begged to withdraw his objections, and to express his hearty concurrence in the list that had; been just adopted. A vote of thanks to the committee was then proposed and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the chairman was then moved and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in a very handsome and appropriate manner, after which the meeting dispersed. " I have passed whole nights sitting in my tent up to my aneles in water, and holding an umbrella over my head. In the morning, when the sun shone out, the camp was enveloped in a cloud of steam. Our living in such damp brought on various fatal dis eases, which in a few months reduced strong regi ments to skeletons. Sudden deaths also happened occasionally ; I recollect one instance in particular : I was invited to dine one day by Lieut. R t of the 32d, and at the hour appointed I walked to his tent, and asked the servant who stood at the door of it, if dinner was not ready ? The answer was, Master is dead, sir.' It was too true ; for the hospital-cart was brought up for the corpse of him who, in the morning, had asked me to dine, little thinking then he had eaten his last meal."—Lffe f a Soldier.

In giving Conolly as the jockey for Pleni potentiary we are guided by public opinion, as nothing is known on the subject from authority ; some people still in sist that Arnull will be put up. Guardian's starting is not considered quite certain; nor does Forth speak positively of his riding Viator. THE OAKS. So little is known of what will start or who will ride, that we are unable to make out any list. Scott rides Cotillon; Boyce, May-day ; and Chifney, Zulima. The field is not likely to be so large as was anticipated three or four days since. A man of the name of Wright having died in the Middlesex Hospital, two women, each with a coffin, attended on Thursday evening to claim his body—the one asserting that she was his wife, and had been married to him twenty-six years ; the other that she had been married to him ten years, and was living with him up to the time of his death. The question was decided in favour of the latter, who carried away the body in triumph to her residence in Camden Town. GENTLE COMPULSION.—The Duke of Buccleuch has thrown a tub to the whale at Newhaven, by remitting in favour of the Society of Newhaven Fishermen, the arrears of rent owing by them this year for the oyster scalps belonging to his Grace. No person can doubt the intention of his Grace's liberality at this time, but it remains to be seen how many of these hardy sons of toil will swallow the bait thrown out, and sell their independence for an oyster We are informed that some of them, we hope not many, will disgrace their jackets, by voting against their consciences at the ensuing election. This report is perhaps a calumny, and we shall not believe it until the event proves that there is selfishness, timidity, and renegade principles among a class of men who have been long complimented for their bravery and unbend ing patriotism.—Scotsman. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday an inquisition was taken_ before Mr. PAYNE, at the sign of the Duke of Clarence, in the London-road, Southwark, on the body of Mrs. Re. becca Benson Garth, aged 26. Miss Ann Standish was cousin to the deceased, who was married to an ornamental painter, carrying on business at No. 5, Borough-road. Witness was residing at the deceased's house on Saturday and Sunday last. On the latter day, about half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, the deceased went up stairs, as witness then supposed with the intention of going into the parlour, where her husband was sitting. In a few minutes afterwards witness saw her from the window crossing the back yard. On going up stairs, finding she had not returned from the yard, she went out to look for her, and found her suspended by a rope from a beam which crossed a shed. The deceased had one child, which was about a year and a half old. She had latterly been poorly, and had complained, particu larly during the last week, of pains in her head. As long back as witness can remember, the deceased was in the habit of saying she would make away with her self, when anything happened to cross her. Witness attributed these expressions to the violence of her temper. Her husband and she agreed pretty well in general ; sometimes they had a few words, but it was generally over in a minute or two. On the Saturday night, after her husband had gone out, the deceased said she was tired of her life, and alluding to several modes of self-destruction, said she should prefer a mode that was slow in its operation. Witness thinks the deceased was at times jealous. Mrs. Maria Taylor, of 3, Temple-street, South wark, deposed that the deceased was her daughter, and had been married to Mr. Garth about seven years. For the last two years she has appeared unhappy in mind, but although witness had frequently questioned her on the subject, she could never ascertain the cause. She had from infancy been of a passionate temper, and gave way to it. Her husband has frequently stopped out of nights, and even sometimes for two entire nights and days together. They would part on the best of terms, he promising to be home soon, but yet not re turn, and no one knew where he was gone to. She called on her daughter on Sunday last, about noon, and found her in tears, and on asking what was the matter, her daughter replied, that she could not bear to be so ill treated. Her husband stopping out as he did would naturally make a wife suspicious. The jury, after a short consultation, returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased destroyed herself being in a state of temporary derangement, arising from the ill-treatment of her husband." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH. The Hygeia, from Jamaica to Liverpool, was spoken with on the 4th inst., in lat. 39., long. 56., leaking 16 inches per hour.

The Theodosia, of Newcastle, bound tb the Mauri tius, on the Bth inst., in lat. 39., long. 14., by the Mary, arrived off Dover. Yesterday Leicester-square was crowded to excess to witness the extraordinary and unparalleled sagacity of a goose, just imported from the Scilly Islands, which, out of the common course of nature, proved that an animal, however stupid, can be brought to possess intelligence. Several ladies and gentlemen of distinction put divers curious and scientific questions to the goose, and they were answered by referring to a watch, the alphabet, multiplication table, dice, and cards. Instinct and reason appear blended in this ani mal's wonderful performances ; and the curious, who were highly amused and entertained, were astonished that a goose, always imagined beyond the capacity of human art to be made sharp and intelligent, had been brought to assume another aspect by tuition. For the great inconvenience of a bald pate, our ancestors found a very simple remedy ; it con sisted of garden snails, taken from their shell, and pounded together with horse leeches, bees, wasps, and some salt. These ingredients were mixed up, put into a hot-bed for eight days, and then smeared over the bald head, on which they soon brought an ample harvest of hair. When the reverse of this process was required, as in the case of a lady whose hair grew too low on her neck, the rebel growth was soon dispersed by the application of the following lotion :—Take twenty green frogs and a pint of wine, put both into a pot, which keep forty days in the sun ; the residue is the lotion.— The Doctor. In a book bearing the title of " Egypt and Mohammed Ali," just published, by a Mr. St. John, Mohammed gives the following account of himself:— " I will tell you a story. I was born in a village in Albania, and my father had ten children, besides me, who are all dead ; but while living, not one of them ever contradicted me. Although I left my native mountains before I attained to manhood, the principal people in the place never took any step in the business of the commune without previously inquiring what was my pleasure. I came to this country an obscure ad venturer, and when I was yet but a Bimbashi (captain) it happened one day that the commissary had to give each of the Bimbashis a tent. They were all my se niors, and naturally pretended to a preference over me; but the officer said, Stand you all by; this youth, Mohammed Ali, shall be served first.' And I was served first ; and 1 advanced step by step, as it pleased God to ordain ; and now here I am (rising a little on his seat and looking out of the window which was at his elbow, and commanded a view of the Lake Mareotis)—and now here I am. I never had a master (glancing his eye at the roll containing the Imperial firmans)." LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, MAI A temporary depression has appeared in our cottcn market, although we can hardly note an actual decline in prices. Sales 2,000 bales, as follows :-120 Per.. nams, 124 ; 40 Bahias, 10id. ; 100 M aran h ams , I lAd. ; 70 Boweds, 9i ; 500 Boweds, Bd. t o 9d ; 500 Orleans, rid. to 90. Sir JAMES CORDON-4 think this irrelevant: Lieutenant Walker then detailed at great )engtfr the annoyance of Captain Pigott, ordering hirt. board his vessel whilst he was observing the offic&i4 of the Barham playing at cricket, when there was not the slightest necessity for his being on board; Captain Pigott's forbidding the conveyance of passengers on board the Alban; and upon his uncourteous and humi liating conduct to him generally. Lieutenant Walker, the first lieutenant of the Bar ham, was then cailed and examined by Lieutenant Walker, the prosecutor Lieutenant Walker—You have been present with Captain Pigott on several occasions when he has spoken to me, either or board the Alban or Barham. What was his general demeanour to me on those occa sions? Witness—l was present on several occasions, and, in my humble opinion, Captain Pigott's con duct to Lieutenant Walker was that of an officer and a gentleman. Lieutenant Walker—Were his conduct and de meanour towards me similar to what he was in the habit of employing towards yourself, and the officers of the Barham? Witness—l have not had an oppor-. tunity of judging ; it was at first, but not afterwards. Lieutenant Walker—How long was it before the change appeared to take place ? Witness—To the best of my recollection, after the first inspection of the Alban. As an officer, he was more strict in seeing the orders for the service attended to. Lieutenant Walker—ln what tone and manner were those orders conveyed? Witness—The tone of a superior officer to a junior. . Lieutenant Walker—Was it loud or mild, or ac companied by gestures ? Witness—Generally speak ing, his tone to Lieutenant Walker was mild, but as he frequently foiind fault with Lieutenant Walker. Captain Pigott appeared annoyed, and his tone and manner more enraged, more properly I should have said that he became angry, because enraged implies a more violent manner than Captain Pigott had been using to Lieutenant Walker. Lieutenant Walker—Was I in the habit of visiting your mess frequently, or the reverse ? Witness— Certainly not frequently ; I only recollect seeing you twice at the mess table. Lieutenant Walker—Can you give any reason for that ? Witnest-pnly his own conduct. Lieutenant Walker—Now state what was the tenor of that conduct ? The witness answered this question in various ways, but not in such a manner as could be received by the Court. Lieutenant Walker--Don't spare me, I beg. I ask what was there improper or ungentlemanly in my conduct? I wish to know " the very head and front of my offending." Sir JAMES GORDON—It may subject him to a civil prosecution. Lieutenant Walker assured the Court that, let the answer be what it might, he would not prosecute him. The witness did not fear any consequence that might result from the answer. The JUDGE-ADVOCATE explained, and, after some discussion, a minute was made, that the question, as the witness had answered it, was, " That the reason of the mess not inviting Lieutenant Walker was the opinion they had formed of his conduct." The COURT then stated that the opinion of the mess could not be received in evidence. - - Lieutenant Walker—Was it my conduct in taking the earliest opportunity of showing an act of courtesy towards your mess that caused them to make this grateful return ? Witness—No. Mr. William Cotsell, the late clerk of the Alban, in charge, and now a purser on half-pay, was next exa mined. Lieut. Walker—What was Captain Pigott's manner towards me generally ? Witness—His mode of speak ing to you was harsh. I feel most painfully situated ; lam speaking as to my superior officer. His gestures were violent and threatening. Lieut. Walker—Was it such as you have usually seen observed in the service between an inferior and superior officer? Witness—No, except in two or three instances. Lieut. Walker—What degree of harshness was it ? Witness—On one occasion excessive. I did not ob serve it at other times. Lieut. Walker—Upon these occasions of harshness, did you observe any thing in my conduct that merited harshness ? Witness—No ; your manner was most re spectful Lieut. Walker—On any occasion was Capt. Pigott's manner courteous to me ? Witness—l never observed any mark of courtesy by Captain Pigott to Lieut. Walker. The usual hour having arrived, the Court adjourned. It transpired in the city this afternoon ( Wednesday), and caused great surprise, so far as the fact became known, that the dissentients to the reduc tion of the 4 per cents. exceed 3,000,000/., the total amount of stock of that denomination not being more than 11,000,000/. This is the declaration of dissent for the United Kingdom alone, the holders residing out of it being allowed a further time for that purpose, and a considerable increase, therefore, to the sum men tioned, unless circumstances change materially, may be anticipated. This is the consequence, without doubt, of those differences in the Ministry which now occupy the public attention, and which have led the holders of the 4 per cents. to expect such an injury to public credit as will make it more to their advantage to accept payment of their stock at par, than to take the 33- per cent. stock offered in exchange for it. Other circum stances were so decidedly in favour of the operation that there can be little error in assigning the above as the main cause of what has just occurred. There will be no difficulty, however, in a financial point of . view, in meeting the exigency, provided the present difficul ties pass over, and public affairs resume their usual course ; but it may, otherwise , be productive of some embarrassment. It is understood that the Bank direc tors will do all in their power to assist in the liquida tion of this part of the debt, by facilitating money operations generally, and that among other measures they intend to anticipate the usual pe r i o d o f ma ki ng advances at 3 per cent. till the paym en t o f t h e divi dends. This, howeTer, will but incre ase t h e mischief, unless the public mind is tranquillized on the subject now pending. The anxiety respecting it is general in the money-market, an d w ill cont i nue t i ll the ques tion is disposed of.—. Times. TRADES' UNIONS.—Two persons, named George Peter and David Thomas, representing them selves as delegates from the Grand Consolidated • Union, arrived in Stamford on Tuesday, and on the same evening summoned a meeting of the tailors at the Horse Shoe Inn, where several members were en rolled. On the following evening the shoemakers were assembled for a similar purpose ; several other trades also were sworn in. The magistrates, it is said, have determined to withhold the licenses to the offend_ ing publicans at whose houses these illegal proceedinp took place, and to pursue other steps against them. The delegates make a charge of 6d. or Is. cn the swearing in of each mechanic.--Boston Herald.
