Thomson, in which that gentleman expressed his satisfaction at the triumph of Reform in Kent, but regretted that other engagements would prevent his being present at this dinner. Captain STANHOPE (the other Member for Dover) in returning thanks, observed that he looked upon the Reform Bill as virtually passed, and that it would be their own fault if they were not for the future fully, freely, and fairly represented in Parliament. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The absent Members of the County, who were in favour of Re form," which was drank with three times three, as also the next toast, " The Hon. Mr. Bligh and the noble house of Darnley" fur which Mr. Bligh re turned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of Mr. Ward, and of Sir J. Tylden, the proposer and seconder of Mr. Rider.—(Great cheers.) Sir JOHN TYLDEN was sorry that a man of such years, and such incorruptible political integrity, was not here to return those thanks in person, which he (Sir John Tyiden) was now proud to return for him. "My heart is full," said Sir John, " and my head is full, and the room is full too, thank God for it, of the honestest men I ever saw in my life."— (Cheers and laughter.) All of you know that Mr. Hodges is the man of your hearts, but tritely of you may know Mr. Rider. But I ask you, is there any man who has fought your battle so well as Mr. Rider has done for these many months past ? God help me, gentlemen, when we are to return men of honesty to Parliament, I know not how we could get an honester man than Mr. Rider. In returning Mr. Rider, you have returned yourselves combined into one essence.—(Cheers and laughter.) We have done, gentlemen, as the bees do—we have sent a good and excellent essence into the world. We arc the bees that work—we have thrown from our hives the drones, and though we have not returned a queen bee, we have returned a walking bee, who will obey our orders.—(Cheers.) I arrogate to myself the credit of having freed the county from the thraldom into which it was fast de scending.—(Cheers.) I was the spark which set this county into n flame, which, rising first into notice in Dover, has since penetrated into every county in the empire from the Land's-end to Johnny Groat's house.—(Cheers.) And, so help me God, if 1 had one foot in the grave, I would do it over again, if it were to do.—(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I was brought up in a school where I was taught to know myself, and so to feel for the sufferings of • others. I was taught to know how they were beaten down and trampled on by a base and paltry faction. I thought that by that faction my country was cursed. --(Cheers.) I thought that the proud situation which for some years we occupied was owing, not to the manner in which our statesmen conducted the business of the empire, but to the indomitable courage of Englishmen.—(Cheers.) It was the de termination of Englishmen to proceed to the end with any system, however wrong, which we had once commenced, that carried us on through the last war; but we all know now that we were the set of fools that God ever made, to vote for and go on with that war which William Pitt so madly com menced. (Here a voice called out " Amen." Great laughter.) I say it, and proclaim it,—we were a set of fools.—(Cheers.) There is not one of us who will not feel it, if we were to live on to the end of the next century. But, Gentlemen, it was all your own fault. You have nobody to blame for it but your selves. If you and I, and all of us, had done our duty twenty years ago, we should never had a thousand millions of debt now on our shoulders. Let us, however, recollect our past follies with re gret and abhorrence. Let us thank God that we are last come to our senses, that the schoolmaster is now abroad among us, and that we have the power to get rid of these detestable boroughmongers. I say, give but time for the Reform Bill to get into operation, and you will see it working almost miracles. Then, when you have the power of exercising your suffrages, give them only in support of honest Ad ministrations—whether they are Whigs or Tories, to me it cares not a ----.—(Cheers and laughter.) Sir John Tylden then sat down amid long-continued cheering. Lord SONDES begged to return thanks for the very handsome manner in which they had drank his brother's health, and proposed to them as a toast— " The Independent Freeholders of the county of Kent"—(Drank with three times three.) Sir JOHN TYLDEN said he supposed that they would all agree with him in thinking that running down a fox was the most noble and the most glo rious sport in the world, except running down a borough monger ; and if they did they would not refuse to drink, with three times three—" John Ward and fox-hunting."—(Drank with three dines three.) The CHAIRMAN, after calling for " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill," retired shortly before eleven o'clock, having been in the chair nearly eight hcurs. The whole affair passed off extremely well, and we have no doubt that this celebration of the triumph of Reform will be long remembered by the " Men of Kent." BELL'S Life in London of Sunday, June 12, containing seven folio columns of Conic Prints, price Sevenpence.—The trade, and all persons who sell Sunday Newspapers in town and country, are informed that BELL'S Life in London of June 12, containing the fifty Comic Prints at the selling price of Sevenpence, will be taken back in any quantity, and the full money repaid.

The publication of BELL'S Life in London, in consequence of the immense number ordered, will commence o❑ Saturday afternoon, at one._. G. GOODGER, 169, Strand. The Rev. HUGH M'NEILE, whose sermon is at present exciting some attention, is son-in-law of his Grace the Archbishop of DUBLIN, and Rector of Albury in Surrey. He has always taken a prominent part in the proceedings of the Reformation Society, and was the foun der of, we believe, a now defunct association called the " Philo-Judean Society." We copy the following from an Evening Paper : ;‘ NEWSPAPERS SENT at POST.—A correspondent says, ' that the Postmaster-General has been engaged for some days past with Sir F. Feeding, making arrangements for having the covers of newspapers sent by post stamped with such rates of postages as may he agreed upon after the sitting of Parliament.' The worst of the proposed plan is, that it will act partially. Most of the country and a great proportion of the London Morning Papers are conveyed in parcels, and not by post, while the Evening Papers go by post almost exclusively. Without, therefore, some due modification of the purposed plan, one kind of newspaper Property will be seriously injured, in comparison with ano ther. It is trite to observe, that when once property is vested under peculiar arrangements, every modification of them requires the nicest consideration." We know nothing of tie matter ourselves; and, with our experience, the knowing nothing and expecting no chan ge are some proofs that no fresh change in the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's last arrangements was requisite, or is likely to be beneficial. It is no slight mischief not to be arran at rest, nor to b e a bl e to repose i n con fid ence i n any gement.— Ti mes.

The Emperor Don PEDRO adds one more to the numerous list of Sovereigns who, within the last year, have been compelled to abdicate their power and set out on their travels. His Imperial MAJESTY has resigned the throne of Brazil in favour of his son, an infant five years of age, whom he has appointed Regent, but who will most probably be compelled, ere long, to give way to a Republic, with a President at its head. The EMPEROR'S abdication will surprise no one in the slightest degree acquainted with the state of parties in Brazil. On ascend ing the throne it was expressly understood that Don PEDRO was to forswear all further connec tion with Portugal, to devote himself wholly and exclusively to the interests of his subjects in the new world. This—at least the former part—seems to have been too hard a task for his Imperial MAJESTY to fulfil. His attention was constantly fixed on Portugal ; he could not stand aloof from the intrigues of parties, in the Cabinet at Lisbon, but embroiled himself with his subjects,and entailed considerable expense on them by his establishment of a Regency in favour of his daughter Donna MARIA at Terceira, and his subsequent reception of her, as acknowledged Queen of PORTUGAL, at Rio Janeiro. To complete the sum total of his offences in the eyes of his Brazilian subjects, the EmPEROR, who commenced his career as a Liberal, bade fair to terminate it as a despot ; he was besides capri cious and uncertain in his temper, though a man naturally of strong sense and much energy, and seemed always to take a perverse pleasure in heaping rewards and honours on his Portuguese favourites, to the neglect of his Brazilian subjects. His Imperial MAJESTY is now, we understand, on his way to France. On the subject of the late partial defeat at Ostrolenka, the Polish Government have ad dressed a formal communication to its foreign agents, by which it appears that though the Poles have obtained a check, and had fallen back on Pultusk, yet that the Commander-in- Chief had attained the aim which he had in view, that of throwing troops into Lithuania. The communication proceeds to state that " one victory would not have been sufficient to con solidate our independence, but a rising en masse in the Polish provinces, and the co-operation of the Poles in the common cause, insures to us more ad vantageous results, in a political as well as a military point of view. The news we have re ceived from Lithuania is highly favourable to the insurgents, and describes the enthusiasm and general devotedness of that country, which accounts for the precipitate march of Marshal DIEBITSCH upon Ostrolenka.— He determined to risk every thing in order to cut off our communication with Lithuania. Podolia has already risen. The insurgents are advancing into Volhynia. Batta and Tulc zyn are in their possession. The ranks of the Volhynian patriots are daily increasing. So general an insurrection cannot but lead to the happiest results. The check we have expe rienced has not caused any change in our mili tary position. The retreat from Ostrolenkat far from discouraging us, gives us new cou rage, for now all the Poles form but one army ; and those who perished on the banks of the Narew will find avengers on the banks of the Niemen and the Dwina." We hope that France and England will at length see the necessity of interfering in behalf of the oppressed Poles. What with the open hostility of Russia, and the insidious in trigues of the Jesuitical hvoeu ndlo s most Cabinets feeya r f ofuble oddsße finallyr t i o u and Vienna, they a c ontend against. disgrace will a tt ac h to E ngland and F vst r ° a r ncedr a e which nothing will have power to wipe away. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning VtENNA, MAY 28.—A courier , who left Constantinople on the 14th, passed through this city yesterday, 0, : way to Paris, with the answer of Count Guillerninot t o t h e letter re-calling him front his post. The Count only waits for the arrival of his successor to return to France. Bul letins were published at Constantinople on occasion of the victories of the Grand Vizier and the defeat of the rebel Pashas. Festivities had been ordered on account of these fortunate events, but nothing had yet been published re- Teeing the rewards which await the Grand Vizier for this important service, Letters from Cracow say, that General Paz has had an .engagement near Zamosc with the corps of General Kreutz, but without any decisive result. The Polish troops in the vicinity of Zamosc are stated at 8,000 men. The taking of Ostrolenka by the Polish main army, which got possession of bopoi taut Russian magazines, and its advance against Bi ilystuel, Lave caused a great scii,a, inn here. It appears that the Lithuanian insurgents were previously informed of the movements of the Polish army, for it is said that about the same time several Cracovites and Lithua nian insurgents advanced 'from the vicinity of Wilna to Grodno, and hover about in the neighbonring forests, with , he view of assisting the troops expected from the kingdom ut* Poland. All these circumstances, it seems, have in duced Count Diehitsch to retreat over the Bug. The ac counts from Lemberg respecting the cholera morbus are far from satisfactory. VIENNA, MAY 2S.—The following bulletin of the de feat of Mustapha, Pacha of Scutari, was published at Con stantinople on the 13th instant : " Conformably to the notice in the last bulletin, the Grand Vizier was pursuing the rebel Paella of Scutari in his flight.—(The Constantinople mail of the 10th is not arrived at Vienna, so that the bulletin containing the pre ceding operations is not known to us.)—By the aid of the Almighty, this rebel is wholly annihilated by the de feats which he has lately sustained from the victoriou s arms of the Sultan. He could not keep his ground either at Kopuli or Uskuh, but fled, beaten and hopeless, accom panied by only three or four rebels, to Scutar i. Deputies from Kopuli and Uskuh were immediately sent to the. Grand Vizier, with petitions imploring pardon, and offer ing to submit to the Sultan's commands. In the same manner all the Begler Beys and other chiefs have deserted Mustapha Pacha, and he is now an object of their impre cations. Nifzi Pacha, in order to atone for his fault, has even occupied with his troops the passes of Katschanik, and others, through which Mustapha might attempt to es cape. Nay, Hussein Pacha of Varna, in order to obtain ' his pardon, engaged to deliver up the said fugitive, alive or dead, and is eagerly pursuing him. The whole populatio n of these districts has began to submit and implore pardon. The Grand Vizier himself has ordered a detachment of his regular and irregular troops to advance towards Uskuh, and has issued orders to the authorities of Scutari, and on the road leading to it, that Mustapha Paella shall no whire be received, but imakdiately seized and delivered up. The Grand Vizier was carrying into effect the farther measures rendered necessary in consequence of his glorious victory. These accounts have just been received here from the camp of the Grand Vizier. The Corfu Gazette of April 30 and May 17 gives more derailed accounts of the defeat of Mustapha Pacha. The reigning Duke of BRUNSWICK is ex pected in Dover to-morrow on a visit to his MAJESTY, and orders are received to pay every mark of respec and attention to the Illustriou s traveller. It is understood that her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess HELEN, of Russia, sailed from Petersburgh, on the 30th of May, in the Russian line of battle ship Cuim, accom panied by the Lionuc corvette, and that they may be daily expected on our coast. Her Im perial Highness proceeds to Sidmouth for the benefit of sea bathing. In another part of The Sun will be found a report of the grand Kent Reform Dinner, at which a vast number of the respectable and in fluential yeomanry of the county attended. It is gratifying to read of the enthusiasm, and the entire and per feet unanimity that prevailed at this meeting, in favour of the all-absorbing question of Reform. There was not even a shadow of difference in the whole assembly ; all were equally determined on the success of their favourite mea sure ; and all were equally of opinion that it was to all intents and purposes already carried. There were few or no allusions made to the House of Lords ; few or no speculations in dulged in, as to their probable conduct when the great question came before them for discus cussion ; the whole assembly seemed to have fully made up their minds on the subject, to the effect that it was highly absurd to suppose that the House of Lords would venture on opposing or emasculating a Bill which the whole kingdom, from one extremity to the other, had pronounced necessary to the welfare of the Constitution, and which it was firmly bent on seeing carried. Yet, notwithstanding this general determination on the part of the country, a few Ultra Journals, we perceive, still cling to the opinion that the House of Lords will throw out the Bill, or at least so cripple it in its essential principles, as to make it a useless and inefficient boon to the people. These opinions the Journals in question disse minate, under the idea that they are thereby serving the cause of the Ultras, and defending the rights and privileges of the Upper House. A more mistaken notion than this never entered the mind of man. The best friends to the Aris tocracy are those who point out to them the dangers that must infallibly accrue to their order, should they be frantic and fool- , hardy enough to persevere in their unconsti tutional opposition to Reform—to that measure which the SOVEREIGN has sanctioned, the Go vernment have brought forward, and the people have warmly and unequivocally approved. The best, indeed the only friends to the Aristocracy are those who advise them courteously to submit to what cannot be avoided ; to conciliate rather , than to provoke ; to win b ac k th e estranged ' affections of the country, rather than to render it still more distrustful, sensitive, and inimical to the Patrician order. The House of Peers has it still in its power to redeem its character with the people ; but the opportunity of doing so is h urrying swiftly on, and when once the fitting sea son is past, another equally favourable one may never occur again. With regard to the episcopal bench, we do not anticipate that the Rev. Pre lates will offer even a shadow of opposition to the Bill. They will have too much respect for their high calling—too much sagacity to venture to run counter, at a crisis like the present, to the declared will of the KING, the Ministry, and the people. This morning an accident occurred in Oxford street, which, it is feared, will prove fatal in its effects. A woman, with a child in her arms, was crossing the road, and, when about the centre, the pole of a hackney-coach, which came up at the time, knocked her down. The poor woman shrieked out, and, with an instinct that surprised every person, she threw the infant from her, by which its life was saved : before, however, the coachman could pull up his horses, the animals trampled upon her chest and head, by which the latter was most frightfully lacerated and several of her ribs were broken. A shutter was pro cured and she was carried to the hospital, the coachman assisting, and to whom no blame could attach, es he did all in his power to prevent the accident. The poor wo man now remains in a very deplorable condition. INTELLIGENCE-THIS DAY). COURT OF KING'S BENCIL The Court was occupied the whole of the morning with caus,s from the special paper, none of which presented anything of interest to the public up to the time of our reporter leaving. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice PATTESON sat in this Court at Prius. None kit undefended causes came before him up to the time of our going to press. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. raiar TIIE CORPORATION OF DOVER. Mr. JARVIS, on the part of the Corporation of Dover, applied for a rule to allow thtir town clerk to pay the amount of two estreats, into the office of the King's Trea urer's Deputy Heinembrancer, pending the trial of a ques tion of Irw as to the right of the Corpora:ion to all forfeited reco7,nizances. The L arned Gentleman said, the question wzr• one of a very important nature. It would be necessary to have the charter, or a copy of it enrolled, so as to make the Attor ney-General a party to the cane. The affidavits in sup port of the motion were made by the Town-clerk to the Corporation, who deposed that he I:::dartletreengraainvtiest in the advised, that the Corporation of the town and port of Dever, a s one o f !lati•settliatelsityv'se;CtrinofqueCl Port s, tarh tl ; bYte a Second, were entitled to take for their own use all recognizances that should be forfeited within the -said town and port ; that he had caused a se trch to be made at the Lord Treasurer's Re tnembrancer's Office for the enrolment of the said charter, but that, on such search taking place, it was found that all the enrolments and charters of that reign were de stroyed by fire, except those of the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and a few of the 29th years ; but that he had found a counterpart of the charter in the Rolls' Chapel, and had applied for a copy of it, so as to have it enrolled in this Court, but as yet there had not been time to obtain it. Mr. Baron BAYLEv asked to whom would the entreats he paid over if not to the Corporation ? Mr. .Imtvls said to the Crown, in support of this ap plication he cited the celebrated case of the Duchess of York iu the 9th of Henry the Sixth. Mr. Baron VAtfcHAN enquired if the Corporation had hitherto paid the entreats to the Crown. _ _ Mr. JARVIS siaid that from the year 1610 to 1650 the Corporation received them, and applied them to their own use ; but ever since the latter period they had been paid over to the Crown. The Court granted the rule, and directed notice to be given to the Attorney-General. PALACE-COURT. CROFT V. FOUND. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a gentle man residing in the Kent-road, against the defendant, who is the driver of one of the Paddington coaches, to recover the sum of Al. I 95., the amount of damage done to some household furniture by the negligent driving of the de fendant. Mr. WALLINGER stated the case to the Jury, from which it appeared that the plaintiff, on the 31st of March last, was removing from his house in Pentouville, near the Belvidere Tavern, to the Kent-road. A caravan was standing at the door, loading the furniture ; it was partly loaded, when the defendant, who was driving his coach down Pentonville-bill at a very furious rate, and on the wrong side of the road, ran foul of the van with 50 much violence, that by the concussion the two men who were in the van loading the furniture were thrown out and much injured, and two elegant wardrobes belonging to the plaintiff were broken to pieces. The defendant on seeing the mischief he had occasioned, drove on as fist as he could towards Padding ton, and never attempted to pull up his horses. The wardrobes were subsequently repaired by Mr. Barnes, the cabinet-maker at Battle-bridge, and the expences now sought to be recovered, were paid for the repairs of the furniture. Witnesses were called, who proved that the de fendant wilfully drove the pole of his carriage into the van, by which it was upset, and the men and fur niture thrown out. He was called to before he struck the van, but he took no notice and drove on. He was on the wrong aide of the road at the time, and there being no carriage passing at the moment he could have easily avoided the contact. Mr. Cantos, for the defendant, endeavoured to show that the affair was the result of accident, but called no witnesses. The JLoGE summed up the ease to the Jury, who re• turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, di. 19s. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. Yesterday we bad an account of a revolution at Rio Janeiro, to day we have accounts of one at Bahia. The following letter has been posted at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning;-- " By the arrival of the Ann at Liverpool, from Bahia, from whence she sailed on the 9th April, accounts have been received of a very serious disturbance having taken place in that town ; the military had joined the populace, who had drawn up seven propaitions, the first of whi c h was the expulsion of the Portuguese from power, and the deposing of the President. All the shops were closed, and the inhabitants walking the streets armed ; there was no ship of war in port at the above date." New York Papers to the 11th May, Charleston to the 10th May, and Calcutta to the 28th January, have also been received at the above Coff ee -h ouse , b ut t h e i r contents are not of the least interest. The Calcutta Paper of the 28th January states that a fire broke out at Singapore, which consumed the Cadjan huts of several of the natives and one of the Company's houses, but it is believed that little property has been de stroyed. THE FUNDS. The estafette this morning from Paris brings the French prices lower : Three per Cents. 64f. 50c. ex-div. A report prevailed on the 'Change at Paris of the defeat of a Polish corps, which has left Warsaw uncovered, and adds that Diebitsch had passed the Vistula at Pultusk, and was rapidly advancing on the capital. We understand that Count Villa Flor has arrived in thi s country from Terceira ; the cause of his mission is not yet known. The private letters from Bahia state that the Portu. guese have been embarked and sent off. It is also said that some lives have been lost. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83i for the account, opened at the same price this morning, and continue so at present. Brazil Stock has been done at 53 ; at present, 53} 4. HALF-P-4ST ONE.

A variety of village sports were then started, the success ful competitors in which were rewarded with prizes: the spectators were very numerous, and the scene, owing to the interest excited, very enlivening.

(FROM OUR CORRESEONDENT, RECEIVED THIS MuRNINL; TREDEGAR IRON-WORKS, all; ,; 9 I have to inform you that the tints at Merthyr originated rn Mr. Crawshay's attempting to lower the men's wage,, he having given notice to that effect. It would be quite inpossible for me to give ycu a description of the scene of terror, tumult, and bloodshed of Thursday and Friday ist. The majority of the respectable inhabitants of alerther expected nothing else but murder and plunder te, take place throughout the whole town, and it was not intil the arrival of the military that one could be found bold ;tanndd being irigc m i t n er; t l i l g e , c it t e l sough to look At the &linger. I shall now proceed to give t Y r n i gue the Piitn giureals t r by several in .n of had character (some of whom have had their goods seized for debts contracted, awl for which they :e aca t r n ' um Th b e er rn s o en n ‘ ri b h ° l2r w sd e a re y, s and were sued by the Cnuvt of Requests), they proceeded in 'arge bodies to the house of Mr. Coffin, who is an officer of that Court. and demanded the hooka belonging to it, which being refused, they became very riotous and tumula talons, threatening to murder Mr. Coffin and others. It a-as at this period that the Magistrates got upon eotra "lairs, but were very cruelly insulted by the mob, ants kvere obliged to desist. They then broke into Coffin'e Souse, smashed all his windows, and gutted the place of very article of furniture, which they burnt in a heap in he middle of the street. This took place about nine i'cleck in the evening,. The Magistrates then thought it necessary to send for the aid of the mllitary stationed at Brecon, which I believe are the 921 Highlanders. Tney arrived at Merthyr, which is a distance of eighteen miles, on Friday, about twelve o'clock, and marched, ht number about seventy, through the principal street to the Castle Inn, which is situate in the centre of the town, and w!iesa the Magistrates were assembled. A party of the High landers were ordered inside the house, and the remainder ;iept guard outside, and were supplied with ref:sell:nen:a. It was at this time that the mob began to show some &- will towards the soldiery, and they threatened the Magi stracy, that unless they were allowed something to eat as well as the military, that in one hour they would destroy every individual in the inn, and the ringleader, " Le tie, the huntsman," actually took out his watch to mark the time. When the time had elapsed within ten minute , , Lewis again threatened that if within the time his denim& were not complied with, they were ready and determined to destroy both the tn:litary and the Magistrate's. The mob then began to press upon the soldiers on every side, and had actually at last poised them against the wail, and jammed them so closely that their arms were useless, and the men were unable to defend themselves. The mob then began to deprive the soldiers of their pieces and side arms, and during the severe struggle which ensued many were wounded. At this moment the soldiers stationed in ' the Castle were ordered to fire, when the mob speedily took to flight, but not until thee had taken about thirty stand of arms from the Highlanders. I have not heard that any of the soldiers were killed ; but of the rrrob it is said that least twenty-three were either killed on the spot, or have since died. The number of the wounded is uneertrin, hut several linve suffered amputation. There have been no inquests held upon the bodies, therefore I am unable to inform you the names of the slain. They were buried on Wednesday last. On Saturday the mob had dispersed, and sent messages to the surrounding works to meet on Monday at Merthyr, but by this time the mili tary had been reinforc,d by a detachment of dragoons and yeomanry, and marched out to meet them. The Riot Act was read by a Magistrate who accompanied the soldiers, and they were ordered to present their pieces, at the sight of which every man took to his heels and re - turned home. From this time we have been quiet. Mr. Crawshay has complied with the demands of his men , and every thing begins to go on as usual in these parts; but I am sorry to inform you that rumours have reached us this evening from Aber,ychan and Pontipool, that the Vartey workmen are standing out for an increase of wages. The colliers emplcyed on the litre of road be tween this place and Newport were also in a very rustles:. state; but, thanks to our worthy Magistrate, Samuel Homfray, Esq., the inhabitants of this place rest in great security, such is their confidence in his wi•dom and dis cretion. I have now told you all tire particulars which I can collect, but shall write again should any further dis turbance occur. MEETING OF SHIPPING INTEREST. A very numerous meeting of ship-owners, merchants, and others connected with the trade of the country, way held yesterday, at the city of London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the propriety of forming an associa tion of the ship-owners of the United Kingdom, for pro tecting their interests. Mr. BUCKLE, in moving that Mr. Geo. Palmer do talc the chair, regretted the absence of Mr. Alderman Thumq son, who was to have presided. Mr. PALMEH. having been elected to fill the chair, rt.- ferred to resolutions passe in April, 1828, at a general meeting of ship-owners, which stated the necessity that then existed for the adoption of a code of regulations for the fortnatiron of an extended Ship.owners' Society. He considered that the formation of such a Suciety was of the highest importance. The SECRETARY then read the report of the Provisional Committee. It stated that, since the meeting in 1828, the Committee had had correspondence with the ship_ owners of the out-ports, and after much deliberation had formed the outline of a plan fora General Association of Ship.owners—that a strong feeling in favour of such Society prevailed , but that the failure of the attempts which have been made to maintain in the Legislature the principles, asul to protect the interests of the British navi gation, and the continued depression of shipping property, had produced a general despondency, with the dissolu tion of the former Society. The Committee now hoped that the time had arrived when it was necessary, by the interposition of a well-brganized association, to prevent the infliction of further evils on the shipping in terest, if even the removal of present difficulties he unat tainable. The attempt recently made to alter the scale of duties on foreign and colonial timber, which, had it suc ceeded, must have annihilated the carrying trade, and have aggravated the distress of the remainder of the shipping interest, aroused the ship-owners, anti the defeat of the mea sure proved the necessity of the formation of a Society. The subscriptions necessary to support an association would b e trifling when s, , t against the enormous depreciation and loss which the ship-owner has so frequently suffered from legislative enactments and other regulations affecting his property. The outline of the plan for forming the Society was also read. The CHAIRMAN wished to call attention to two points. The shipping interest had been attacked declaredly to pro - mote other great interests ; but he could not see that agri culture, the colonies, or the manufactures, had derived ad vantage by the measures adopted. The other point was, that the political economists, when they instanced the re turns made respecting shipping, and stated that persons in the trade were fattening, mide no mention of the in crease in the population, which bad augmented of late years one-tenth, whilst the tonnage of the country had de creased. He hoped the time was come when the people would return to common sense, and not be led away by theories.—(hear.) Mr. A. CIIAFMAN moved the first resolution, to the effect that the resolutions passed in April, 1828, be adopted, and that it was considered more than ever essential that a society of ship-owners should be formed to support their interestq. Mr. F. S. YOUNG, in seconding the motion, said it was highly necessary to form an association, and by such means to endeavour to protect the trade, which, from many causes, had been much depressed. After a few remarks from Mr. URQUHART, in which he deprecated the abolition of the slave trade as tending to injure the shipping interest, the resolution seas carried. Mr. J. D. POWLES felt happy the old Society of ship owners was about to be re-organized. It had done much good. Experience had shown that circumstances were constantly occurring to render a society necessary in order that the interests of the trade might be protected. lie con ("hided by moving a resolution to the effect that the report read be acted upon. Mr. GoeLn seconded the resolution. The distresses of the ship-owners were increasing ; since 1814 the tonnage of the country had decreased 400,000 tons. It was nut yet so poor as to be neglected, the tonnage now employed being 1,800,000 tons, and employing 90,000 peaceable men. He alluded to the policy of the late Mr. Huskisson, which had caused so much distress; but th a t H on . Gen . . tleman before his death, be bad reason to believe, had al. tered some of his opinions. The resolution was carried. Mr. 11. BLANSHARD moved that a Committee be ap pointed to carry into effect the objects of the meeting. The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously, as well as another for raising subscriptions. Mr. Buss exhorted the shipping interest to be firm, otherwise their property would be destroyed, as well as the colonial interests. Thanks trd.ne m were returned to the Chaimui, and the ineeti.. - ad joi It is supposed that the son of the Knight ►of Kitanr trill offer himself for the representation of Li d native county the next vacancy...4)olin Paper.
