Monday a festival was: given at • the '.Hall of the National Association, in Holborn, t o M r . Duncombe, M.P. for the "borough of Finsbury, the: object being to testify to that Honourable Gentle Man the esteem felt for him by his' constituents, and their appreciation of his exertions in the Ho us e o f Commons on behalf of the labouring classes. The hall was well filled by an extremely respectable company of ladies and gen tlemen, and tea having been served, the business of the evening was commenced. Colonel Thompson took' the Chair, and was sup ported by a large body of gentlemen.. We noticed on the platform Mr. T. S. Duncombe, Mr. P. T. Thompson (the son of the Chairman), Dr. Epps, Dr. Black, Mr. Hodgkin, Mr. Lormon, Mr. Parry, Mr. Thomas, Mr. Hetherington, &c. The CHAIRMAN opened the business of the evening. He said that the meeting had assembled at no ordi nary time, nor on any ordinary occasion. Many were looking to the proceedings of that evening with in terest, and he trusted that their assemblage would tend to promote the great object of political reform which they had in view ; that they should go on, fearing nothing ;--intending no ill to any, but deter mined not to give up one atom Of that which they eonsidered to' be their rights, and which it was their : duty to endeavour to pbtain.---.(1-lear.) 'There might be those who had conducted themselves illegally—he was not there tO'npologise for them, but he maintained . that it was • not: because some went beyond the true limits to which their exertions in the cause of freedom should be confined, that all shoul 1 be persecuted.— (Hear, hear.) The Gallant Colonel concluded by proposing " The peoplemay. they speedily possess their political rights, in order to . remedy their social wrongs."—The sentiment was received with loud cheers.

Annual Division of Profits. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. DIVISION OF PROFITS AMONG THE ASSURED. This Company, established by Act Of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since its commence ment in 1134. In le4l the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. The amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment of the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December MO, is as follows : Sum Assured. 'Time Assured. Sums added to Policy. £l,ooo 6 Year. 10 .

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As sured have the security of the Company's income of• upwards of £50,000 per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the kssured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

Miss Martineau% works—be their contents valu able 'or worthless—have - sold well ; yet she is in want, 1 - kcau,se. the proceeds of the public patronage have riot reached her ' • they have in crease d th e w ea lth of publishers, and she •is depriVed of competence thereby; they have - given employment and ... good wages to hundreds, and:. large profits to booksellers; and the hand . that set •so much industry in motion, and created new. sources •of wealth, is enfeebled by disease, and. Miss Martineau languishes 111-health in an obsure sea-side vill4ge in NOrthuniberland, be cause her_ Moderate Wants have not been supplied by the exercise of those powers which has given plenty and the means of enjOyinent to others Had adequate and just protection been' afforded to the harvest of mental culture, ,as it is, we think, wisely under existing circumstances .to the harvest of agricultural cultivation, 'Miss Martineau would have been now enjoying coinpetence, and, in all probability, health. As it has - not been given, she has been compelled to taste of the hardships, though apparently she does not feel the bitterness, of poverty. Something, it is true, has been done to remedy the defects of our law of. copyright. That something is, we fear, but little that will benefit -.authors such as Miss Martineau. The great want ;;thern. is a law of international copyright—a law which will suppress literary piracy in the United States, and put an end to literary smuggling from Belgium and France. Sir Robert Peel aspires to be • the friend—we will degrade neither the Premier nor authors by . writing the patron—of literature. He has now an -opportunity of 'establishing his 'claim to that friendship. Let him urge On foreign States the justice and the necessity of suppressin g the. piracy of letterS, and attempt at least to place the laws of Europe and America, with respect. to publications, on .as. intelligible a 'tooting as those relating to butter and bacon.—Morning Herald. THE - BANK PARCEL ROBBERY.-At the Hull Ses sions on Thursday, Francis Fortune, late cashier of the Agricultural B an k at Hull, was found guilty of having stolen a parcel containing 8701., in bank notes, which he had been entrusted to take to the Post-office at Hull to send to York in July last. .He was sen tenced to be transported for seven years. Dr. 'Errs came forward to propose the second re solution or toast. It was as follows - :—" May the Queen remove from. her - councils and offices of state all those who restrict and *Misapply our countrz'sfre sources, and call to her aid those only who will ex tend to the people the full measure of their rights." Having borne testimony to the unceasing exertions of Mr. Duncombe, the guest of the evening, in the cause of the people, he proceeded to say that the resolution which he had to propose recommended itself strongly to the attention of the meeting. He believed, that the present Government had been placed in its present disgraceful position by the still more disgraceful con sequences of the 'proceedings of the late Ministry— (Cheers, and cries of " No")—for he believed th a t th e AdMinistration of Lord Melbourne had done all in their power to prevent the people from obtaining their rights.—(Renewed cries of " No," and cheers.) He believed that Sir 'Robert' Peel's Gaerninent had done more for the people than that which preceded it, and however unwilling they might be to give it support, they must pause before they utterly condemned it.—(Cheers.) They were not the men, it was true, to whom th e y - cou ld g i ve un bounded confidence, and they must look to the result of their exertions to secure Ministers more in accord ance with their views. —(Hear, hear.) The honoured guest of the evening (Mr. DuncOmbe) was, he thought, a great thorn in'the side of the Government. —(Cheers.) He might be a polished thorn,_ but the wounds which he infli c t e d were , therefore, the sharper. —(Hear, hear.) If they wished to realise the results, which the resolution proposed they should gain, it was such representatives as Mr. Duncombe whom they should return to serve in Parliament; and if all boroughs would adopt the course which they had taken, he was - convinced that through the exertions of such men they would not be long before they ob tained the' rights which they now upheld.--(Cheers.) They .had amongst them one' who 'was in every way deserving a seat in "the Commons House of Parlia ment, and, should they have the opportunity, he had no doubt that they would return their worthy Chair man, the author of the Corn-law Catechism. Mr. HODGKIN Spoke in Support. of - the resolution. He said that it embodied a sentiment to which it re quired little from Lim to fix their attention ; and he was onlyafraid that, in eildeivonring to'carry it out, they should- have to look very far before they could find statesmen who should be able and willing to carry the wish which was expressed into effect.— (Hear, hear.) -So far as his own observation taught him, all those who had been entrusted with political power were men more interested . in securing their own aggrandisement and that of their friends, and in promoting their - own views; than in contributing to the promotion of the public pros hear)—and before they could hope to have better statesmen, he believed that they 'must improve the educational syStein of the community at large.—(Hear.) Before they 'could hope to secure their rights they must learn to 'know what they were. It was, therefore, with much pleasure that he saw in stitutions such as those which were rising throughout the country, the great object of which was the pro motion of political knowledge amongst the people. When the people knew what their rights were, they would not be long before they attained them.— (Hear, hear.) • The resolution wa.s received with loud applause. The CHAIRMAN said that' he had now come to the most grateful part of the evening's celebration, which was to speak on 'the immediate cause of. their assem blage.—(Cheers.) They had met ' together to do honour to , a man who had represented the community to which they belonged in Parliament with integrity, with courage, and with energy. —(Loud cheers.) Other 'constituencies might meet together, and might have a lively consciousness of 'future favours, or a recollection . 'of past gifts—of feasti, or more solid re muneration 'for suppOrt, but in this case there was nothing of the kind. In this instance they had met to do honour to a man, merely because he had served them faithfully and honestly.—.(Cheers.) There was no 'scene of fashion or of greatness to which his honour able friend might not aspire ; but he had taken a more liberal course-4e had' faithfully served his country men in their battles for freedom.—(Cheers.) It would would' be, going over that Which . they all knew, unnecessarily, if he . attempted to - give th,em a history of all . the occasions .on which their respected representative had served them' in Parliament.—(Lbud cheers.) When, he would ask, was the' popular cause uuserved when he was present ?—(Hear, hear.) When was it that a man who suffered oppression did no t receive his' support when he 'possessed the power to•e - xert himself on his behalf ?—(Hear, hear.) HiS Hon. Friend was an aristocrat by birth—he 'looked like One— (Hear, and a laugh)—but he had shown them that that was no reason why those of lOwlyhirth should not receive his cordial comfort and support.—(Cheers.) He (Col. ThompS6n) would not rest longer on his good deeds, but he would bring forward Mr. Dun combe—an honest man and a brave ; and he called upon them 'all—men and women too-- 7 -for Mr. Dun combe , was a gallant gentleman—(Loud cheers)—bo give him' such a reception as in their hearts' they thought he deserved.- . --(Lond cheers.) The chair man concluded by proposing the following resolution: —" Our invited guest, T. S..Duncombe, Esq., a le gislator regardless of party or faction, who, having espoused just principles, has honestly stood forward in Parliament the advocate • of his oppressed, and Of fering countrymen. May he continue to pursue the same manly, just, and p ru de n t c o urse , till the rights' of the millions are won, And their wrongs redressed." Mr: DUNCOMBE having presented' himself at the front of the platform, was received with loud and long continued cheering. He said—The 'high and distin guished compliment which you have this evening been pleased to pay to the humble parliamentary services of the individual who has now the honour of addressing you, calls' for the utterance of 'grateful sentiments which I very much fear I am . not able to, express, at all events in that style . of language which your kind ness demands,. and my 'own feelings lead me ' to ern ploy.—(Cheers.) have often heard it said that popular favour and public esteem" are, after all, but transitory and capricious ; and that those whom it pleaseth the people to honour to-day, they turn their backs on to-morrow ; but I believe such to be' a libel on the people.—(Hear, hear.) It will be invariably ,found that, whenever the people have withdrawn their confidence from a public man, such Conduct has been jiistified, 'and the desertion has been merited by the man having, 'for his own private purposes, and for personal objects, - given up the cause. of the people.—(Cheers.) At all events, I can Say, that since I have had the honour of a. seat. - in' Parlia ment, public confidence and popular esteem haVe 'uni formly been mv 'lot; *Old I believe that . so tong asl perseverein that course which I marked out for My , self on my first entrance into public life, that esteem and that confidenCe will not be denied me.-:-(d al ., hear.) I must confess that I am proud to stand here beholden to no Minister for protection—indebted to no Court for its favourCheers)—conscious that though I have not merited your kindness thiS even ing, I have never done anything to , forfeit your con fidence and este em .—(Ch ee r s .) impossible for any one to look at the prOsent stale of political feel ing.in this - country,' aid of political parties in this country, without some feeling of QUID() and of regret. I know that much of it - is to be attributed to the dis appointment which has been occasioned to the people by the inefficiency of, the measure of Reform, carried in 1832—an inefficiency which has been - proved by the facility with.whiele the present Tory Government has forced itself into a power, which they seern•to glory in exercising over the few remaining rights and privileges of the people.--(Hear, .hear.) We are now .reaping the fruits of that change of Government. Much blame is due, and justly due, to the Whigs for their conduct. They were told, when they were in the.zenith of their power, that they were not then malting the best of their time—that the re form which had been - effected was incomplete; and that it was their duty to render it at once a complete and useful measure. They heeded not the warning which was given to them ; but they talked of finality, and hung on the skirts of the Court, instead of sup porting themselves on the. strong arms of the people. —(Hear, hear.) And what was the consequence? Corruption and intimidation were brought to bear against them, and • at the eleventh hour they .brought forward measures which were good, perhaps, but which came too late. They called on the people for aid —upon the people whom they had neglected; bat amidst the universal corruption and intimidation used at the last general election, their cries were unheeded in the hour of need. They fell ; and I am sorry to be almost compelled to say they deserved the fall-, (Cheers)—unpitied and despised by all.—(Cheers.)• 'Well, then, I say, ' we - arese-noiV 'bitterly reaping the fruits of their misconduct . in -the ' popular cause.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") I ask you to look at the last session of Parliament—take it with re. gard to any party. There never was a session so dis creditable to the Tories, so inglorious'to the "Whigs, and I may say so unsatisfactory to the people. I was looking this morning at the return of the n um b er o f burs during , which Parliament sat in the course of the last session, and I find that, from February to August, they sat 1,008 hours, and 125 of those hours were after midnight.. Now, what did w e d o d ur i ng those hours ? s They were passed in crimination and recrimination, between this agriculturist and that manufacturer—between High'Church and Low Church, between my Lord John This and Sir Robert That— (Cheers)—my Lord John reproaching Sir Robert, and saying, ," You are not satisfied with turning us out, but you take our measures."—(Cheers.) And what are those measures, now they have taken them ? -e--(Hear.) We have got a trumpery Corn Bill, a delue sive Tariff, and we have got an inquisitorial Income-tax. —(Cheers.) These are.the great measures which Sir Robert Peel required five months , to ponder upon, before • .he proclaimed them to: the world—(Hear, hear, hear.) But then, what was done with regard .to the. • people ? Did we not, night after night, make . representations to the _ ,Go vernment, and. to the House which. calls . it self the representative of the people, :. that the people of this' country. were starving—were,dying by hundreds in, the manufacturing districts, and that it was necessary to afford them some relief, or at- all events to institute someinquiry , into their condition, ' and the causes of that condition ? Every inquiry was resisted. We told them that if they persisted .in this course, they drive the people to desperation—. that the working and industrious classes were not prepared to starve and toelie in ditches—that they ought not and would not submit so to terminate their existence. ' They heeded not this warning —they prorogued Parliament,- • and the moment the Q ueen had closed our doors; she w as co mpelled . to go h ome and sign a proclamation calling on the Magistracy, and calling out the military; to pat down the people, because as, Parliament would not help them, they threatened to help 'themselves. . Some of 'these people' said, "we had better die at- the point of - the bayonet or on the 'scaffold; than be famished and die in ditches."---(Hea r' hear, hear .) Many thousands were out of employment, and those who, were em ployed ' worked' from sunrise to sunset; they were overworked, but they were under paid, and ' they could not, get that which the working classes were quite right to demand—a fair day's wages .for a fair day's work.-e-(Cheers.) •All the outbreak and insur rection 'which neeurred has been attributed to various causes. Every one tries to shift it from his own shoulders. One day it is the result of Chartism;' an other it is produced by the Anti-Corn-law League. I believe, however, that neithet was to blame. - Dis tress is not the•off'spring of Chartism or of the Anti- Corn-law League ; but Chartism is the offspring of the oppression of the poor —the Anti-Corn-law League is the offspring of - a- base and sordid monopoly ; but es Chartisin is'the offspring of the oppression of the poor; the poor have a right' to donand that they at least should have that voice and that power in the Le gislature that they may obtain. some relief.--(Hear, hear.) Well, then, what is the result ? What is the conduct of Government with regard to this insurrec tion ? The police and the military are put in mo tion. The Magistrates, whom Sir James Graham— . the renegade Graham !—had been so active in ape . pointing during the previous winter, were let loose for the. purpose of committing the' unfortunate of fenders. I do not mean to say that there were not many of them guilty of criminal acts, but when you look to their condition—their impoverished and starving condition—l say .that some allowance ought to have been made for the misdeeds in which they'svere unfor tunately engaged.—(Hear, hear.) To be sure we . have had a Judge sent down to' try these men, stating from the judgmenteseat• that the ' distresses of the people were vastly exaggerated, ._(" Shame.") 'I want to know how they can possibly be exaggerated. —(Cheers.) ' • It showed either -great ignorance or great indifference on the part of the Judge to make be earihear.) thousands ..of hum an b e i ngs i n h a bi t i ng How, I ask, could ng diStricte, w ere glad to appropr i ate, 'exaggerated, when we know that hundreds t t th h h e e a i t r m a d a s i s n st e u r r f e t ao i s c o f s :e n . ri. (H aye, even carrion, if they could fi n d i t !— t h a t many of them were glad to cull . the nettles from the fields, and to put them into Net 'water, to'make something like broth ! ' Their houses were without furniture— their hearths without fuel—their bodies without rai ment—and yetv these are the p ersons w i t h re f erence to whom . m y Lord' Abinger—(c r i es of " Sh ame ") :---has thought proper to say' the judgment-seat at Liverpool, that; so far as be was a judge—and a . pretty judge .he is — their . distresses were greatly ex aggerated:—(Hear, hear.) Men not mixing with ociety, or with the people, might 'possibly make such a blunder ; 'but Lord Abingee appeared not only as a judge, but he assumed ~. the . characters- of a politician and' a legislator, and ' as such it is im possible that he could be ignorant of the :sad- and lamentable distresses of the poor _ in the manufacturing districts. — (Cheers.) Not satisfied with this; however, he makes a most indecent and , unconstitutional charge to the Grand Jury. He de scribes those of whom he speaks' as " a kind of men . called Chartists"—(Cheers, hisses, and cries of " He was a Jacobin") —and he says that this' kind of men desire that the working classes, who' possess no pro perty, should have- the power of voting at the elec tions for Members of Parliament, and, in point effect, that they 'should have fi voice to legislate for those who have property.--(Hear, ' hear.) Now, that is the charge which he makes. . FrOM what I have seen of the Chartists in England, I believe that the body e is far More numerous than .either. Lord Abinger er the Government, or many members of the upper classes really . imagine.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that the - opinion in faveur of the document called the Charter is daily gaining strength in the public mind. —(Cheers.) ' Every party is calling for reform 'in some particular branch of the law, and as each finds the impracticability of carrying out its views, they I become coneinCed of the necessity of a change, by the effect of which the House of Commons shall be en tirely 'remodelled.-(Cheers.) Lord . Abinger, how ever, though he may not have 'possessed the same 'personal acquaintance with the extent of the powers of the Chartists which I possess, muithave'recollected the petitions which have beeifpresented.to Parliament in the course of last year, and the present, year. He must have recollected the petition of last year, signed by 1,300,000 persons ; and that of the present year bearing the signatures of three millions and a-half; and yet he has the assurance and impudence, I must say, to say that there are "a kind of men called Chartists," who wish to subvert the aristocracy,- to divide pro perty, and to overthrow the monarchy.—(Cheers.)- I have lobked at the' Charter again and again ; but I can find nothing in it which would sanction an inter ference with the rights of the aristocracy—(Cheers)— nor could I find a .line which indicates a. desir e t o overthrowthe - monarchy.--(Cheers.)'What the people ask is, not that they should have the exclusive right of legislating, but an equal ehare in the legisla tion of the' country,---that their liherties should be equally protected with those of my - Lord Abinger (Cheers)—and that the Government of the country should he placed upon a broad, popular, and secure basis.(Hear, hear.) 'Well, indeed, may my Lord Abinger wish that the people should have no greater power in the House of Commons than they now possess, for if recently they had possessed that power which they claim, the House as it would have been constituted would not have sanction e d that which is now called the " Scarlett joi),' and the House ' of Commons thus constituted would have no hesitation in addressing the Crown for the removal from the judgment seat of any Judge--who had so disgraced that high position as Lord Abinger has done in this in stance.—(Loud cheers.) I have no doubt that the . charge delivered by him is well received, that it is greatly .admired and highly approved of by his brother renegade, Sir James Graham—(Cheers)—but when Parliament does meet it is impossible that this charge, if .made—and I am; .of course, pre suming that the charge. is correctly reported in the public newspapers, and I have not heard the ac curacy of the report doubted—but I say that it is impossible that this charge, whether'in the wordg or in the spirit in which it is reported, can pass unno ticed in the House of Commons. It is impossible that Parliament can permit a charge, dangerous ,to the liberties of the people, to, pass uncensured and un noticed—(Cheers)—and I can only say, that if no other individual calls the attention of the House to the subject on its meeting, T feel that I should baselY betray the trust reposed in me, not only by my own constituency, but by the working classes, if I did not call the attention of the House to it.—(Loud cheers.) Such at all events is the lamentable position in which public affairs now, stand : ---in which that question, which is the question of questions, I mean the fran chise, stands before the public. It stands before the public thns—that if a man call' himself a Chartist he to be condemned from the judgment seat but it rests with-the-people how long this state of . things shall continue.—(Hear, hear.) Much will depend on the energy, prudence, forbearance, but, above all, the cordial union of all classes. Let us have no more quarrelling and quibbling about names.—(Hear, hear.) Let us meet the foe openly. I say that the question of the day is the franchise, and until that is settled it is in vain, constituted as the House of Commons is, to look for any other reforms. —(Cheers.) I know the woi king classes have much to bear 7 -they have much to exasperate them, but still,. with union and energy, they must not despair. lam well aware that it is possible for the Government, be hind the back of Parliament, to strain the law—to confer upon their police new powers—to appoint hosts of Magistrates to commit—to hire traitors to betray, and spies to deceive the unwary. They may also find pliant Juries to convict, and, they may retain corrupt political partisans as Judges to, condemn; but if the people are true to themselves—if they will but stand within the four corners of the law—Sir James Graham .and the whole of his renegade crew may yet find united people who are too strong for them.—(Cheers.) It is said that the " darkest hour is nearest the dawn." And, so it is; there is that. elasticity about British freedom that on all past occasions, when darkness has most prevailed, it has always emerged from it with increased splendour and renown.—(Great Cheering.) • I know that .you will llot ..surrender any portion of those privileges which,belong to you, and which the Government seek to take away.. If there is anything to which, abOve all other things, you are entitled, it is the right to hold public meet 'ings ; when that is taken away, be sure - despotism is in the ascendant. BUt I know' the million would be prepared, in the 'words addressed to Sir. R. Walpole, "to die the last of British freemen, rather than live the first of British slaves.."—(Cheers.) I fear that, amidst the wrongiunder which this country is suffer ing, I have 'wandered too far from the compliment which you have honoured me by paying me.— . (Cheers.) Believe me that your kindness this evening will be remembered to the last hour of my existence ; and if any reliance can be placed on the word of man, as you have been pleased to approve of the course which I have taken, and as by continuing in that course - I shall continue to merit your approbation, I beg to assure you, that so long as . it shall please God to give me health and strength, I.will never swerve , • from that course.—(Cheering.) Honoured with your . approbation, encouraged , by your honest, and disinte rested cheers, no exertion shall be spared on my part until, in the words of the first resOlUtion, the'just rights of the - million are won and their manifold wrongs redressed.—(lmmense cheering.) The following resolutions were proposed and se conded respectively by Mr. Hetherington, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Cleave ; and by Mr. Parry and 1 Mr. Thomas : "illay'Reformers of all shades of opinion speedily perceive the necessity for cordiality and union in fa vour of the People's Charter--U measure framed to con fer..equal political rights, without which there are no hopes of over obtaining equal political justice." " May inquiry in pursuit of truth be freed from all legal trammels ; may the Press beu,nshackled from its restrictions ; may despotic Judges be deposed, and, unjust Magistrates be deprived of their arbitrary power; and May every obstacle to 'the purifying in fluences of knbwledge be speedily removed." The meetirig then broke up at a late hour. EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH. At half-past one o'clock on Monday, Colonel R. J. J. Lacy, Colonel G. Turner, C. 8., Major Strangways, Captain Palliser, Captain Grant, and a number of officers of the Royal Artillery, assembled in the' marshes to witness experiments with a new descrip tion of brass gun, invented by Captain Grant, of the Royal Artillery. This handsome piece of ordnance has been con structed on a different principle from any hitherto Used, and the result of the six rounds fired to-day have shown that it is admirably adapted for field-service. From the diameter of the bore being four inches and one-sixteenth of an inch, the gun has been denomi nated a light 9-pounder. It is so well-proportioned, however, that it weighs only 10 cwt. lqr. 81b., while the other 9-pounder guns at present in use weigh 13 cwt., at least, on the average. This is an advantage of some consideration, and will effect a great saving in metal, valued at 1831. per ton. But the most import ant saving will be attained when used in exercise, and in field warfare, as there - is a difference of fully four cwt. less in favour of Captain Grant's brass gun and carriage; three-and-a-half cwt.. nearly on the gun, one-half cwt. on the carriage and limber, and 341bs. less weight of powder when supplied with 48 rounds of shot and ammunition. The firing took place on Monday from a range of 1,200 yards, and the first shot was fired at an eleva tion of 3 degrees, and 'the recoil was 8 feet 9 inches, about tho usual distance. The second shot was fired at an elevation of 3* degrees, and the recoil was then only 7 feet 9 inches. None of the remaining shots exceeded in recoil 8 feet 2 inches, and number four only recoiled 7 feet 2 inches, while the whole of the balls, with one exception, reached the target, the other hav ing fallen about 100 yards short, probably owing to the taking of the elevation. The saving in powder by Captain Grant's invention will be very considerable, being lb. on each time it is fired, his charges being 211bs.,.and the present charge 31bs. for guns of the same calibre. It was thought by many that the in vention would be most likely to fail from too great and b t kie t lc h fe e al recoil, but Captain Grant thas so proportioned the will metal, and with such correct judgment, that no fears j f il t t h o e t m ho o ef de st l ielie. l v i i g ec h aerr t: i e aa s igl s d , e are . now entertained in that respect ; and . from the likely at easiermo e b e t i i m no e -f draught for the horses. _ t e r le o ample g d a u n c c e strength d e o THE NEW MAYOR Of . ..MANCHESTER:If rumour 'is correct. and -no doubt it is, Alexander - Kay and Jaines Kershaw, Esqrs., will be put 'in nomination for the office of Mayor for ' the ',enough 'of Man che3ter for the ensuing year.

CHINESE KITE-FLYING. — Of out-door games aiiiimg the Chinese, kite-flying is the most popular. • In this the Celestials excel ; they show their superiority, as well in the curious construction of their kites, as in the height to. which they make them mount. By means .of round holes, supplied with vibrating cords, their kites are made to produce a loud hummingnoise, like that of atop. • The ninth day of the moon is a hOliday especially devoted to this national pastime, on which day numbers may be seen repairing to the hills for the purpose (A . ..kite:flying. . . , Letters from Italy state that Rossini has placed i the hands of a notary at Boulogne a sealed packet, which is only to be opened after his death.

SUSPECTED MURDER.—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Bridge .House beer-shop, in the Old Kent-road, on 'a young woman (name unknown), whose, body, with marks of violence upon it, was found in the Surrey . Canal. After a brief inquiry, a juryman remarked that as there was so much suspicion about the case he thought it would be advisable to postpone the inquiry, in order, if possible, to procure further evidence. The body 'of the deceased, with severe Marks of injury about the face, had been found, and' it appeared to them (the `jurymen) that before coming to a decision respecting Ithe causes of her death, which there were strong grounds for *supposing to have proceeded from violence, there onght, if possible, to be further testimony brought forward. In this .Viiiriirthe case llie CORONER Coincided, and the inquest was accordingly adjourned until Wednesday,. (to-morrow.) As no persons have yet come forward to identify the body of the deceased, and as it appears she is totally unknown in the vicinity of the Surrey Canal, a description of her dress may lead to a discovery of who her friends are, and probably tend to bring other matters to light, bearing .on the future investigation into the circumstances of her death. When taken out of the canal her dress was as follows :—A straw bon net with plait; trimmed with white riband, and flowers underneath on each side; a challis gown with green and white stripes on a buff ground ; nankeen stays, bosomn agi in her f er t pit. p l e h kre t t y h t sh had initials t pair ia o n feet, e t e h t e , of " S n ' e herl S ;s ' ho in e a s rk o e n i wereand • o ledge f d ou a n t d t s h e e ye s ra ho l p d o u f pl L ic . a L tes ley re d - , Stratton-ground, .Westminster. The articles were pledged: in the name of " A Mayling." Last evening an inquest, adjourned from Friday last, was resumed before Mr. Moos, at the One Tun, Perkins-rents, Gieat Peter-street, Westminster, on the body of stry Fleary, aged 65. Mr. Eohn Wright, M.D., of Princes-court, West minster, said he had examined the body, but could pot detect any opium, or appearances of that poison. The brain was in a very congested state, which might arise from the action of the poison, mental excite ment, or simple apoplexy. , From the morbid appear ' ances of the other parts of the body he thought the deceased had taken laudanum, but he could not speak positively. John Holland, of No. 36, Bowling-green-lane, Clerkenwell, the' son-in-law, detailed at great length the delinquencies of the deceased, and produced 22 duplicates relating to his property, which the de ceased had pledged. On Tuesday week last he spoke to her about it, and the day following, unknown to him, she left his house, after thrusting a number of tally bills, duplicates, &c., into the fire, and he had not seen her since. After her departure he ascer tained that she had had tally bills in his name, and by some means had become security for the loan of Si. from a Loan Society, 41., of which she had ret a i n ed herself. The Secretary of the Society had told him that if she ever came back he would prosecute her for a fraud. On Friday. last, he . received the following letter from the deceased :—" I have ruined myself by becoming answerable for so many people, and to drown reflection I have taken to drink to great excess. —Mary Fleary." He had heard that she had followed it up by drinking great quantities of brandy and ale. She was a woman of strong mind, but 'after she left his house had nothing bat a workhouse or a prison before her eves. 146 had not the least doubt but she suffered great mental excitement. After a long deliberation the Jury returned a ver dict—" That the deceased died from congestion of the brain, hut Whether produced by taking laudanum, Mental excitement,. or natural causes, there was not sufficient evidence to show." A WEALTIIT DEBTOII.—Mr. Payne, the City Co roner, held an inquest yesterday afternoon in the Queen'S,. Bench prison, upon the body of John G. Hawkins, awed - 43, who had been an inmate of the Bench for the last twelve years. PrOrn the evidence of his brother, it appeared that deceased had led a most dissolute and-idle life, and was at last arrested for a trifling debt of 301., which he ob stinately refused to pay, although perfectly able to do so. During the twelve years of his confinement, he had spent upwards of 3,0001. in the most reckless manner. He (the witness) had no doubt that his death was caused by dissipation. He had requested Mr. Laws, his family surgeon, to wait upon deceased, which he did from the 16th till last Saturday, when he died. Mr. Laws was present, if the Coroner would examine him. • A surgeon, who had been, previous to Mr. Law's attendance, called in to see the deceased, : stood up, and requested to explain his course of treatment to the Coroner, as aspersions had been thrown out' by de ceased's brother, which, as a professional man, he woUld not tolerate. Mr. PAYNE said that Mr. Law's opinion as to the cause of death would be evidence sufficient to satisfy the Jury, and. he should therefore feel obliged if the gentleman would make no further observations. Mr: Laws gave as; his opinion _ that deceased died from consumption, brought on by his previous habits of living. Verdict—" Natural Death."
