DUTY ON SOAP.—It is not generally known that the reduction of the duty on soap will not amount to per pound, which the public would infer from the way it was announced by Lord ALTHORP. At present the aoapmaker is charged a duty of 3d. per lb., but from this he receives an allowance of one-tenth to cover the loss i❑ mantifactuie by waste, scrapings, inlake, &c., and this allowance is to be withdrawn at the reduced rate of duty. The reduction, therefore, barely amounts to lid. per lb., and the public can only benefit by it in that proportion from the Ist day of next month.— Glasgow Herald. IMPORTANT TO SHIP BUILDERS.—B timber and plank are now imported into the Isle of Man upon payment of a duty of ss. per load upon the former, and Ss. per load upon the latter; whereas in every other port of the United Kingdom, the duty per load upon Baltic timber, is 21. 155., and that upon Biltio plank is 41. As all vessels built in the Isle of Man are, under the existing law, entitled to British registry, it is not to he wondered that this inequality of duty has attracted the att-ntion of speculators. Such is the case. A number of Liverpool merchants have formed themselves into a company for the purpose of Wilding ships at the Isle of Man for the English market. In consequence of this, the Liverpool ship-builders have already petitioned the Legislature for an equalization of the duty payable on those articles, and for protection from the undue advantages which the ship-builders in the Isle of Man possess over them: and a petition of the Sunderland shipbuilders, having a similar object, was a few days ago in the course of signature, and has since been sent to Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, the talented Member for Sunderland, for presentation to the House of Commons; and we cannot hut urge upon all those engaged i❑ ship-building, the ❑ecessity there is for activity in petitioning the Legisla ture. If the present rate of duty he continued, the Isle of Man will be one huge ship-building yard, and the other British ship-builders will be ruined.—Newcastle Journal. The conduct of Mr. MACAULAY has given :he highest satisfaction to his constituents, and to all the friends of negro emancipation throughout the country. When our representative had heard the plan of Ministers, and found that it was deformed with the great vice of compelling the slaves to buy their own freedom, as well as with other faults of detail, be frankly informed Lord AL- Timm , that he must both speak and vote against it, and therefore tendered the resignation of his office. At a Ca binet Council held on the same day, his objections awl his resignation were considered ; and the Cabinet wisely de termined to leave their plan open to modification, and tp request Mr. MitcAuLas to retain his offic e until he should see whether such changes might not he adopted as wo u ld • rem ove his objections. We have reason to believe that Mr. MACAULAY received every possible mark of respect and kindness from the members of the Cabinet ; and there is ground to hope that the weight of his talents and cha racter may be eminently useful to the cause of the slaves, as well as to the English public, in inducing Ministers to abandon the objectionable parts of their plan. It will be r,metubered that this is not the first occasion on which Mr. MACAULAY has given the strongest proof a public man could give, of his sincere attachment to cqlonial man, aipation, and of the high place it holds in his regard. In 1831 he tendered to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, the patron of the borough for which he then sat, the resigna. tion of his seat, on the ground that he felt bound to oppose the Government, on Mr. F. BUXTON'S motion. Tin Marquis characteristically told him to act according to the dictates of his conscience. He afterwards voted against Ministers on the same subject, within a week of taking office. Conduct more honourable to all parties has seldom been exhibited ; and our earnest hops is, that the Cabinet rosy now add to its exemplary candour, by going the whi le length of righteous principle, and straight forward, manly p ilicy, and consenting to the unconditional and immediata emancipation of the slaves.....,Leed3 Mercury.

Monday, at one o'clock, was appointed for the distribution of premiums in the medical school, and at that hour a very numerous and most respectable assemblage of visiters had obtained admission, a large portion of whom were ladies. Lord John Russell presided, and on taking the chair his Lord ship briefly announced the object of the meeting, and called upon the Dean of Faculty to read the re port of the proceedings of the Medical School during the session. The following report was then read : " The medical Professors have never proceeded to the performance of their annual duty of presenting a report concerning the state of the school with feelings of greater satisfaction than they experience on the present occasion. "In the Session which has just terminated, the number of the medical students in the University has been 297, a cnnsiderib'e excess over the former session. This increase has arisen from causes which afford a guarantee for the permanence and growing prosperity of the establishment, and the professors are naturally elated with the view of the future which is thus happily opening before them. " The anticipated erection of a Hospital has undoubtedly had its share in producing the increase of numbers in the Medical School, but something is, perhaps, due to the ge neral mode of teaching which has been adopted. The oh jest of the Professors is not only to convey to the students information, but to stimulate them to that continued appli cation and habitual industry, which are the only certain means of obtaining an honourable reputation in the profes sion to which they have dedicated their lives. " The Professors would be chargeable with injustice to wards the students, were they to omit noticing the general good conduct which has unitormly prevailed during she present session in the Medical School, and this circum stance is the more gratifying to the Professors, because it has neither resulted from any unusual indulgence on their part, nor from any relaxation of that discipline which it is their duty to maintain in their respective situations. From the observation of this commendable disposition in the students, and from the many proofs of attachment to themselves which they have received, the Professors are led to anticipate a rooted attachment to the school itself in those students who have completed their educatio❑ within the walls of the Institution. Wheresoever those who are now leaving the University may be destined to reduce to practice the elementary attainments they have acquired here, their affections will ever remain centred i❑ an establishment where they have witnessed daily proofs of a zealous interest in their moral and intellectual improvement. " The addition of the Hospital to the Medical School, by combining practical clinical instruction with the ele mentary lessons delivered in the theatres, will enable the Professors to feel less anxiety and responsibility with re gard to the result of their future exertions. They feel deeply indebted for the liberal support of the friends of the institution, which has justified the Council in granting the land for the erection of the building, and they look for ward with confidence for further aid to render it fit for the important purposes for which it is intended. The re solution of the Professors to appropriate all the fees re ceived from the students to the support of the hospital is a guarantee for the prosperity and permanency of the esta blishment. " During this session the museum attached to the me dical school has been enriched with many additional speci mens, and many volumes have been added to the library. No exertions shall be wanting on the part of the Profes• sors to augment the value of their sources of information, and they will feel grateful for every donation which may be presented to them by the friends of the University. " In conclusi n, the Professors regarded with satisfac tion and pride the testimonies of the substantial improve ment in the various branches of medical education which has been manifested by the students in their recent exami nation. " In stating this, however, they cannot avoid regret ting that the course of medical education is still too much hurried to be productive of complete benefit to the student and the public ; and they feel convinced that were parents and guardians to permit the period of study to be pro tracted, more perfect professional knowledge and a far higher degree of scientific attainment would be insured. By attending also some of the philo,ophical courses, and acquiring an acquaintance with the collWeral sciences taught in the University, the study of medicine would not only be embellished, but aided and advanced in the highest degree." The reading of the report was loudly cheered. The SECRETARY then read a short paper, ex plaining the nature of the examination; and the Professors afterwards read the mottoes of the me dalists, and the names of t hose entitled to certificates of honours in their respective classes. On the motto being read, the Secretary announced the name of the student to whom it belonged, and the student received from the Chairman his prize and certificate of honour amid the loud plaudits of the meeting. The following are the names of the students who were awarded medals in their respective classes. ANA COMY. Gold Medal First Silver ditto Mr. John Taylor, Huddersfield. Second ditto PRACTICAL ANATOMY. Gold Medal Mr. Wm. Baly, Lyme Regis. First Silver ditto Second ditto MA PERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS. Gold Medal Mr. John Taylor, Huddersfield. First Silver ditto Mr. Wm. Moorhead, Dungannon.

BOTANY. Gold Medal Silver ditto Mr. It. Harris, London. It was stated that great difficulty was experienced in many cases, in awarding the premiums, and that in several of them certificates of honour were given, It was al-o announced that the B , itanical 51edul annually given by the Apothecaries' Hall, has been obtained for the last three years by students of the University—an announcement which was loudly cheered. The distribution of the prizes being concluded— Lord J. RUSSELL rose, and said that he had ex perienced much gratification in presiding on an oc casion of such interest and importance, and he sin cerely hoped that the public approbation which the successful students had this day received would not only be a means of ushering them with cred;t and fair prospects into the several branches of active professional employe eut to which they had attached themselves, but also of inducing other stu dents who had not been so fortunate as to obtain public honours to emulate their fellows 07,1 a future occasion. His Lordship alluded to the important duties which the members of the medical profession were especially called upon to fulfil ; and he trusted chat t he gentlemen wino might be prepared At this University, would be distinguished 'oy their atten tion and their zeal tcwr4ds mitigating those diseases to which their fellow creatures were subject. The Noble Lord then passed a high panegyric upon a distinguished individual (Lord Brougham), who had aided so powerfully in the establishment of this I n stitution, and he concl u d e d by ex p ress i ng a con viction, that notwithstanding the paltry calumnies by which the University had been at first assailed, it would yet be as eminent as any other in the world, for its . endeavou rs t o di ssem i nate k now l e dge arid virtue among mankind. The Noble Lord (who was repeatedly cheered during the delivery of his address), having con- A discussion then ensued, and several amendmen's were proposed to be made for adjourning the question, printing the Bill, &c., which were overruled, as tending to annul the Resolutions of the previous Courts; and, after a very lengthened debate, the first clause of the Bill was read, and upon the question being put, that the same should stand part of the measure, the Lord Mayor declared the same carried. A division was thereupon demanded, and the tellers re— ported the numbers to be :—For the clause 6 Aldermen, 62 commoners, 2 tellers-70 ; against it 75 commoners, 2 tellers-77 ; making a majority of 7 against the clause, whereupon the Bill was lost. RANTERS. The sect calling themselves Primitive Methodists, on Sunday last held a camp meet ing, in a meadow at Nobler Hill, near Reading. An as semblage of between 2,000 and 3,000 persons was col lected, and while these deluded enthusiasts were professing to preach the gospel, a most tumultuous and disgusting scene presented itself. The meadow was completely covered with human beings, who were soon divided by some fellows quarrelling, who commenced a pitched fight; and during the remainder of the afternoon, the company amused themselves in this manner. There was preaching, fighting, yelling, and shouting, all at the same moment. It proved a good harvest to the public-houses and beer shops near the place ; a small beer-shop, called the Crown, actually drew four hogsheads of beer, during the afternoon, and the New Inn nearly the whole of the beer and liquors they had in the house.—Berkshire Chronicle. The recent warm weather has done wonders for the nurseries in the neighbourhood of the metropolis. At Fulham the show of azaleas is extremely beautiful, for the variety is extraordinary, and the buds are now just bursting into bloom. It has, indeed, been generally re marked that notwithstanding the great prevalence of sick ness in animal life, the vegetable world never looked more flourishing than at the present season. Great complaints are made by the merchants of Buenos Ayres against the present mode of conveying the mails, between that country and Great Britain, as being attended with much inconvenience, from the up. certain communication which now exists in consequence of the mail being taken by the Brazil packet. A petition, most respectably signed, nas been sent up from this town, for presentation to the House of Commons, on the subject of the loss of five ten-gun brigs employed as packets on this station since the transfer from the Post-office to the Admiralty in 1822, and praying that these vessels be changed for another description, com bining the advantages of superior accommodation for pas sengers, more extensive stowage, and greater safety...— Falmouth Packet. THE RECENT DUEL.--EXETER, SATUR DAY NIGHT, MAY 18.—Dr. DENNIS, the victim in the duel which has made so much noise here, died this after noon, at about ten niinutea before five. His melancholy fate is sincerely lamented by all who knew him. A coro ner's jury was empannelled at half-past seven, and the inquest was opened by S. WALKEY, Esq., coroner, assisted by JOHN GIDLEY, Esq., the deputy town-clerk. The inquest was held at the Half Mean Inn, and was adjourned till Monday morning, as soon as the jury bad viewed the body. The body will he examined by the medical gentle men to-morrow, in order that evidence might be pro duced of the nature of the injury and the cause of death. The jury is highly respectable, and its organisation has given great satisfaction ; it is composed of some of the most influential tradesmen, and it is concluded that jus tice will be done to all parties. All parties lament the untimely fate of the deceased; but there is one, the gentle and accomplished daughter of the Rector of Moreton hanspatead, and a near relative of the Earl of DEVON, over whose views of happiness the storm affliction has darkened. It is a melancholy tale—they were to have been married in the first week in June. An inquest was held at the Fountain public hcuse, illadkfriars-road, on the body of GEORGE CLX• NiENTS, aged 5. The deceased, who resided with his f ther at 11, Mansell. street, was severely scalded by a kettle of hot water, on Tuesday last. The child's grand mother rubbed a quantity of salt into the parts affected, which inflicted such pain that the mother called in Mr. KITCHIN, a surgeo,n, who found the poor little fellow in a high fever, and his flesh where the salt had been applied qui,te raw, and in a dangerous state of inflammation. Not .ithstanding everything was done for him, he expired in great torture on the following day. The Coroner com mented on the gross ignorance of the grandmother.— Verdict—Accidental Death. REMARKABLE SUICIDE.-JOHN KERCHIN, aged 22, of Quen;borough, about a month ago married a Girl of the same village, aged 18. On Sundny last, after dinner, they both went to their bed room, and, whilst he dressed himself in his best suit, she laid down on the bed, where he left her, saying be should go to church, and meet her after service at her father's. She fell asleep, but awoLo in about a half or three-quarters of as hour, and on looking out of the room door tloveght she saw her husband standing on the stairs, about four feet distant from her. She spoke, but receiving no answer, she ap proached him, and intense was her agony when site found that he was suspended by the neck from the guard ban nister at the head of the staircase, to which he bad fas tened himself by his handkerchief whilst she slept. She alarmed her neighbours, who procured surgical aid, but to no purpose—life was quite extinct, On the following afternoon, an inquest was bald, and no evidence beim: , ad duced to prove aberration of intellect, a verdict of " Felo de se" was returned, in consequence of which he was buried at eleven o'clock thg save night, without the rites of the church ; but on the body approaching the c hurch-yard, several members of the sect commonly called Ranters sung a hymn, and the corpse was lowered into the grave amid the shrieks of the caily, distracted widow. No cause can be assigned for the dreadful act. He had been in work all winter, and (with the exception of a day or two) during the month of his marriage ; and, for anything that is known to the contrary, he lived happily with his bride... Leicester Chronicle. Mr. INGHAM presented a petition from a number of shipowners from Shields, complaining of the distress to which the shipping interest was reduced by the competi tion of other nations, and the restrictions upon the trade of this country. The Hon. Member said the shipowners on thk- Tyne had been greatly injured for a series of years, until they found their capital much deteriorated, and they feared if no relief was afforded them that in a short time their fortunes would be completely exhausted. Some of the treaties with foreign countries which worked a great evil to the shipping trade of this country would expire next rummer, and he hoped his Majesty's Ministers would pause before they were renewed. Mr. HODGSON cordially supported the prayer of the petition, and expressed his regret that the complaints of the shipping interest had been intrusted to a Committee which bad so many other matters of great importance. He thought it amounted to a mockery of the complaints which had been made on that subject in that House. He trusted that gentlemen would still adopt some effectual means of granting the necessary relief during the present session. Mr. BRISCOE presented a petition from a person named Thomas Ghee, complaining of the grievances he had suffered in consequence of the present state of the law, as it relates to the solem❑ affirmation of Quakers not being considered equivalent to an oath. Also a petition from Union Chapel, Brixton-hill, for the abolition of slavery ; also one to the same effect from the inhabitants of Bermondsey. Colonel WOOD presented a petition from Crickhowell. against the Beer Houses. - Mr. GLADSTONE presented a petition from the city of Edinburgh, for the gradual abolition of slavr.try. Sir W. INGILBY presented a petition from Gainsbo rough relative to corporation abuses, which was referred to the Committee on that subject. Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from Hanington, in the county of Cumberland, relative to the distress of the shipping interests, and praying for a free trade to India► and China. Mr. HUME, presented a petition from the tithe payers and freehoUers of Grange, County Antrim, against tithes, churcla cess, and bishops' courts. The HoN. MEMBER. also presented a petition from In verbervie, against the Scotch Borough Bill, and from Hope town, for the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. H. GRATTAN said, with respect to the first petition which had been presented by the Hon. Member, he had intended to ask the Secretary at War a question, had he been present, with reference to the employment of the military in the collection of tithes. That was a proceeding which had increased very much in Ireland, and should be put a stop to. Lord ALTHORP said that the Secretary at War was in his place only a few minutes previously; ihat he had been making inquiries respecting the subjects adverted to by the Hon. Member, and had no doubt he would have been able to give him an &nowtr at once., LAMBETH PETITION. Mr. TENNYSON, in rising to present a petition from large number of his constituents, the parishioners of St. Mary, Lambeth, agreed to at a meeting held in the vestry hall of that parish, observed, that before he stated the substance of the petition, he thought it his duty to the House to state that the language of it was strong ; but as it had been sent to him by so large and respectable a body of his constitu,nts, he considered it his duty to submit it to the House, at the same time taking care to inform the House fwly of its contents, that they might form their own judgment upon it. The language of the petition, as he had stated, was strong, but at the sane time he trusted the House would make a full allowance to the petitioners, considering the great disappointment they 114 d met with, in having their hopes for the r”paal of he house and window duties blighted. The pe titioners state that .‘ We have heard with surprise and regret the conduct of your Honourable House io votiwr against the motion of Sir John Key for the repeal of the house and window taxes, which, in consequence of the number of houses unrated and uninhabited, press most heavily on your petitioners, and which burdens they are totally unable to continue to pay. The petitioners cannGt find language strong enough to reprobate this unfeeling decision." The SPEAKER was perfectly satisfied that the Hon. Member had stated quite sufficient to convince the House that the petition could not be received. Mr. TENNYSON bad considered it his duty to take the opinion of the House on the petition, and hoped he should be excused for having done so. Mr. HU&iR could hardly coincide with the opinion that individuals, in petitioning that House, had not aright to call one of its proceedings an unfeeling measure. The SPEAKER said, a greater liberty could not be given to persons petitioning in the words they made use of, than would bF given to a Member of that House. Mr. HUME was not aware that the language of peti tions could come within that principle, but as he had hem told so by the Chair, he would give way. SHIPPING INTEREST. Al. G. YOUNG, in rising to bring forward his motion r,lative to the shipping interest, hoped he should al trays continue more sensible of the respect due to the ii„u s e, than ever officiously to intrude on its attention. The suliiect was of too ranch magnitude to justify his withdrawing it, unless he could receive an assurance from ti , e Vice-President of the Board of Trade, that the course which had been pursued by his Majesty's Ministers, in ap pointing a Committee to inquire into the trailing, manufac turing, and shipping interests generally would not delay tie inquiry into the shipping interest alone. He wished_ that the subject should not be d e l a y e d an d protracte, tad be wished to know whether th e Right Honourable Gentleman (Mr. C. P. Thomson) would binsgi.veeeshould an assurance that the first inquiry by the that C°ln int:Commit re should report on that separate. 1,0. relative to the shipping interest, a If the Right Hon. Gentleman o ,itrance, he (M Li r. o y ng ) would lee} it his duty to pro eed with the mo tion ofwhich he bad given notice.... c ' Hear, hear.) Mr. P. THOMSON siid, as far as it rested with him he was extremely anxi o us th a t th e su bj ect of the could not t give him that as c the other subjects.
