It, will be seen, from Mr. Aciand's report on Sussex, that that con dition materially differs from the idea which Sir James Graham's declamations would lead us to en tertain of it. We are sorry to perceive that many of the bad practices in the agricultural districts, which formed some of the strongest inducements for passing the Poor-law Amendment Act, still prevailed in them. The allowance system still exists, it would appear; that is, the labourers are not paid according to the or amount and quality of th e i r l a b our, but ace t 'n o to the number of their children : " It is the custom in Sussex to make a broad distinc tion between the married and the single husbandman ; to pay the former higher wages than the latter, to get husbandry work done at a price r e l a ti ve l y , not to the value of all labour, but to the exigency of the labourer. And this practice may be said to prevail more or leis throughout the agricultural districts of the kingdom. A labourer is paid wages in proportion to his impruden ce rather than with reference to his industry and skill." Tile existence of a practice like this is a suffi cient proof that the labourer is under coercion. If, on any one of the railways or other public works now in progress throughout the country, it were proposed to pay the unmarried one farthing less than the married labouter, the proposition would be resented as an insult. Why is this ? It is because the demand for labour, caused by these undertak ings. has given the workmen a choice. Mr Acland observes that— LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1839. lei o. 14.700. PRICE sd.

PRINCE ALBERT.-THE HOUSE SIR JAMES CLARK'S STATEMENT OF THE CASE OF LADY FLORA HASTINGS. IClark was required to make a communication to that effect to L a dy Flora. And here it may be observed that the Ladies of the Palace have been accused of having required a medical examination. It appears that such an examination never entered their contemplation. Lady Portman declares that she did not even know for what purpose she was called into Lady Flora's room, and that she did not even imagine that such an investigation would be necessary. As to the imputation that Sir James ought to have known Lady Flora's state without an examination, it is hardly worth noticing. Sir Charles Clarke, whose practice lies especially in that department, could not determine the case with out an investigation ; and the whole medical pro fession might be cited to prove that these cases are frequently deceptive and illusory to the last. But and this is not a quest i on f or a popular journal to dis cuss. ctles le . ft to It the universal belongs toscience decision alone, of the profession whom the diffi cu lti es an d em b arrassments attending s such inquiries are m a t ter o f notor i ety. to b h In this particular case the difficulties were of a peculiar, and, probably, unprecedented kind. Sir James Clark observes:— " If anything further were required to establish the difficulties of this very peculiar case, and the heavy responsibility attaching to a decision on it, Sir Charles Clarke knows that there are other facts connected with it which prove, in the most unequi vocal manner, the one and the other—facts which do not throw the slightest shade of doubt on the purity of Lady Flora, nor are matter of blame to any one, but which it is not necessary to bring be fore the public." The tone and temper of this statement are highly creditable to the gentlemanly feelings of the writer; but, we may ask, why does not Sir Charles Clarke make his statement of difficulties which belonged to his province, rather than to that of his colleague ? It has been asserted that the examination was conducted without sufficient regard to delicacy. What are the facts ? It was Sir Charles Clarke, the friend of the family, selected by Lady Flora herself, who conducted the examination, and who urged Sir James to make another examination, which he de clined, considering it unnecessary, and to which he consented only at the special request of Sir Charles. This assertion is of equal weight with that which imputes to Sir James that he required a strict exa mination to satisfy the Ladies of the Court—he never having made any observation of the kind. Another accusation was that Sir James exhibited irritation and coarseness to Lady Flora on the occa sion of his * last interview with her previously to the examination : this charge he successfully repels by a reference to Lady Flora's own notes, written to him within twenty-four hours of the time when the offence was alleged to have been given ; and which instead of betraying any feelings of anger, ar! written rather in a spirit of kindliness and confi dence. But the best answer to all such accusations HENRY BEER and CO., Bankers, Paris. II FE ANNUITIES, 2.4 CALCULATED on EQUITABLE PRINCIPLES ! ! ! OF SAXE COBURG SAALFELD. With the Authority of his Majesty the EMPEROR •f INDEPENDENT WEST MIDDLESEX ASSURANCE COMPANY, Opposite the Bazaar, Baker-street, Portman-square, London South St. David's -street, Edinburgh ; Ingram-street, Glasgow ; And Sackville-street, Dublin. _ _ _ (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The territory of this Duchy, though prosperous and thriving, and larger than that of Saxe-Meinin gen, the native country of the Dowaiger Queen, is still not of a very considerable extent. The Duchy of Saxe Meiningen contains eighteen square (Ger man) miles, and 55,000 inhabitants ; the Duchy of Saxe Cobur g Saalfeld t wenty - seven an d a h a lf square miles, and 5,000 inhabitants. The public revenue of Saxe Meiningen amounts to 350,000 florins, that of Saxe Coburg Saalfeld to 500,000 florins. Prince Albert is a younger son, and would not suc ceed his father. In establishing the Protestant faith the house of Saxe Coburg took a prominent Fart, and there are only a few Catholics in the small district of Lichtenberg, the remaining popu lation generally professing the Protestant faith. It should be remembered that the ancestors of the Duke of Saxe Coburg Saalfeld were among the leaders of the Saxons, who came over to this coun try, when in the fifth century the Romans quitted Britain, which, being exposed t o th e incursions and devastations of th e Picts and Scots, applied to Saxony for succours. Numerous brave troops were then obtained from the native country of Prince Albert, and their descendants are found in all ranks of the British nation. In 819 the victorious Eg bert, to whom the family of the Duke of Saxe Co burg were related, became King of the provinces, having Saxon settlements, and he then ordered that they should be called England. Nineteen years he reigned over this newly-established kingdom, and was followed by a long series of-SaxurtkiAgs, under whose mild sceptre this country improved and thrived so much that it was generally respected. Considering this, the reigning Duke of Saxe Co burg Saalfeld cannot be considered a stranger in this country, with whose interests his house became early connected. He is, moreover, generally es teemed in Germany, and beloved by his subjects. Several years ago he issued a liberal Constitution, under which the inhabitants of his dominions enjoy perfect religious and political liberty, and they never had any complaint to lodge against him with the German Diet of Francfort. The following is a sketch of the life of his son, Prince Albert, born on August 26, 1819. His earliest education the Prince received at the Castle of Ehrenburg, where eminent profes sors, from the College of Coburg, and other masters, daily attended. When he had hiscom dpaleutgedhter u t. A eleventh s year, Duke u h f i s sa i x n e ot G he u r t , ha Louisa Alten burg, died. This caused the Duke, till he should have contracted another marriage, to put Prince AUSTIfIA - .

" I presume you have read an account in the news• papers of the capture of a French whale-ship at Chatham Island, by the natives, who murdered all the crew and ate them, ran the ship on shore, and burnt her to the wa• ter's edge. We were bound to Chatham Island when we got the news, which made the captain relinquish his design of coming to an anchor there, but we cruised about the island two days. The natives would not venture on board, fearing we should detain them. A short time ago a French man-of-war went there for the purpose of avenging the murder of their countrymen ; but they did not land, and could not see a single native ; they had all fled to the mountains. She then came out, and fell in with an American whale-ship bound in, and the captain formed a plot for taking them. The man of war disguised herself like a whaler, and put 20 ma rines on board the American ; they both stood in and came to anchor. On the third day they saw some na tives ; the American sent a boat in shore to endeavour to entice them on board, but he was a long time before they could succeed ; but at last got the chief and 10 or 12 of his men and two women on board. The captain plied them with liquor ; when be thought they had enough, he gave the signal, and the marines made a rush upon deck, and after a severe struggle they were all secured. with the exception of one woman, who jumped overboard, and was shot dead by one of the ma rines, who mistook her for a man. They were then taken on board the French ship to be conveyed to France. It appears it was their intention to take the American ship and serve her as they had done the other." CORN AVERAGES.

When he had com pleted his 17th year he entered the University of Bonn on the Rhine, and attended lectures on the classics, mental philosophy, history, statistics, ma thematics, politics, and political economy. Among the numerous distinguished Professors of that cele brated seat of learning is Augustus William Von Schlegel. Thus a most favourable opportunity presented to Prince Albert of perfecting himself in English, the correct accent of which he had before acquired at Kensington and Claremont. When he had finished his studies at Bonn and returned to Coburg, the inhabitants of the Duchy vied with one another in demonstrations of the heartfelt inte rest they took in the prosperity of the Ducal house. Deputations were sent to the Duke to congratulate him on the consummation of the education of the Prince ; poems were presented to Prince Albert welcoming him on his entrance into public life ; and there were all over the country illuminations, balls, and dinners in commemoration of this im portant period in the life of Prince Albert. In 1838 he came over with his father to this country, to witness the coronation of her Majesty. They stayed longer at the Palace of Buckingham than all other guests, and the Duke ofShaexdebyChoebrurg Majesty, Saafeld was particularly distin guisparture, conferred on him, w with greatho,previoucselyremtonlniyis and d in presence of a numerous attendance of Noble Lords, the Order of the Garter.

To the Bavarian capital, then, the Duke accompanied the Prince, and the most marked ho nours were paid to them there, the public consider ing the brilliant expectations of Prince Albert well founded, alid rumours to that effect having been generally circulated b y t h e j ourna l s o f G ermany. A letter in the Hamburg Correspondent of Dec. 1838 says :—" No sooner had the illustrious visitors arrived at Munich than his Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Bavaria waited on them in person and invited them to dinner at the palace. His Royal Highness next day accompanied them to view the most remarkable institutions, museums, libraries, and erections. The following day was devoted to field sports near Germering." Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Leuchtenberg then gave, on the 13th of December, a splendid dinner in honour of the Duke and Prince Albert, to which the whole diplomatic corps had been also invited.. A round of diplomatic entertainments next followeq• The English Ambassador, Lord Erskine. gave a.. splendid concert and supper ; the Hanoverian Am bassador, Count Kielmansegge, a soiree; the French Ambassador, Baron de Bourgoin, a grand dinner ; the Russian Ambassador, Privy Conncillor Von Severin, a dinner, followed by a bai payee ; and the front of the hotel being in the evening splen didly illuminated. But for the departure. of the Duke, the festivities wad for many more days have continued. The remaining part of the winter, Prince Albert passed in Italy, and, on. his return, visited Vienna. When he entered his apartments at the Castle of Coburg, the first object which struck his eyes was the full length portrait of her Majesty, which had been sent him as a present. It is the portrait which, by A. E.

STATE O F TRADE.—There was an e xcee di ng l y gloomy mar k et yes t er day, and goods an d yarns of almost all descriptions were quoted lower than on the preceding Tuesday. In consequence of the un'avourable p ros p ec t s for th e com i ng w i nter , a number of individual spinners and manufacturers in various parts of th e ne i gh b ourhood have already ce a s ed to light up their factories. We have not heard of any general agreement to th a t e ff ect ; b ut under s t an d t h at severa l meetings, f or t h e purpose of consideri ng th e su bject, are in contemplation, Man. cheater Guardian. (From the Atlas.) The future historian, when he conies to write the annals of the present times, will probably introduce some such paragraph as the following in his narra tive of public events : " The efforts of the Tories to supplant the Whig Ministry in the favour of the Court were almost in credible. They left no means untried to bring them into disgrace with the Queen ; private intrigue, public vituperation, accusations of incapacity and corruption, and every description of calumny that malice could invent were put into motion in Par liament, and at the press, to effect this grand object. They bought up all the venal newspapers to pro pagate their scandals, and subscribed large sums of money in secret to sustain the agitation. In want of real topics for abuse, they resorted to invention, and at last finding their situation desperate, they turned round and calumniated the Queen herself. An unmarried lady in attendance on the Queen's mother being afflicted with a m a lady which mate rtally enl arge d the contour of her figure, her ap pearance naturally excited suspicions in the Royal circle. The circumstance led to an inquiry which completely cleared the lady's reputation ; but the Tory party seized upon the case in the hope of producing an impression'on the public mind against her Majesty and her advisers ; and, sacrificing to coarse discussion and vulgar curiosity the lady whom they affected to defend, they made her name a pretext for a fresh crusade against the Adminis tion. By such unworthy and revolting means the Tories of this period laboured to subvert the Go vernment, but the good sense of the country was in the ascendant, and their bolts only recoiled with tenfold force against themselves." Thus will history describe and dismiss the case of Lady Flora Hastings. We believe that the journals of this country, from the earliest period to the present hour, might be searched in vain for such an example of dis graceful and heartless profligacy as the Tory news papers hare exhibited in reference to this affair. In the worst times of party animosity, the delicacy of women has been held sacred, and the sanctity of private misfortunes has never been invaded to imp the wings of political malignity. But in this instance, all considerations of the respect that was due to the Queen, to the Ladies who form her Ma jesty's domestic circle, to the morals of the country which must suffer, more or less, from controversies of this peculiar kind, and, above all, to the Lady Flora Hastings herself, have been utterly trampled upon to subserve the most contemptible purposes of a baffled faction. If the family of the Marquis of Hastings have been deeply wounded by these exposures, who, let us ask, are to blame ? Those most dangerous and unprincipled allies who first made this painful topic a subject of common scan dal and universal gossip, and who, reckless of the feelings of the family whose honour they so un necessarily espoused, dragged the name of Lady Flora before the public, and clamoured, day after day, for explanations which could have no other effect than that of spreading the knowledge of a calamity upon which the most ordinary delicacy would have suggested the propriety of silence. The whole pro • ceeding reflects indelible disgrace upon that very li mited portion of the press which originated and kept up the excitement ; and those who are best qualified to judge of the oourse that ought to have been taken were, from the first, opposed to the publicity into which their pretended friends plunged every person concerned. The Duke of Wellington, when he was consulted by the Marquis of Hastings, advised him "to be quiet." But the Marquis appears to have been compelled into print by the rash and hot brained zeal that insisted upon making the fame of his sister a subject of daily investigation. What is the result? A statement from Sir James Clark which, if any such evidence were wanted, only serves to prove that the inquiry ought never to have been brought before the public at all. Jo that statement, which will be found in a preceding column, we refer the reader for the authoritative details of Lady Flora's case, and shall merely re quest attention to a few observations that obviously grow out of its perusal. Sir James Clark states that he would never have come forward to answer anonymous accusations, feeling that the implied confidence of professional intercourse ought not to be violated by any pro vocations of that kind ; but that the publication of the i\larquis of Hastings appeared to render it a matter of justice to the profession, as well as to him self, that he should lay an account of the case before the public. In so far as Sir James . Clark is per sonally concerned, his statement is in the highest degree honourable to his character, relieving him at once from any doubts that could have been enter tained respecting his conduct, and showing that, if blame is to be attached to any one, it is not appli cable to those who were in habits of intercourse with Lady Flora. We recur to the particulars of the case with reluctance, but they lie in a small compass, and may be briefly recapitulated. The peculiar appearance of Lady Flora Hastings had, it appears, for some time become a subject of remark in the Palace. In this fact the spring of all the subsequent accusations is contained. It has been made a distinct charge against the Ladies of the Court that they " suspected" something, and out of this suspicion they have been accused of getting up a conspiracy against Lady Flora. Now, we ima gine that, if any unmarried lady in private life pre sented a similar appearance, similar suspicions would inevitably exist, and similar remarks would inevita bly be made. It is in the very nature of society to make such remarks, to connect certain appearances with the causes from which they usually proceed; and these remarks naturally and unavoidably gain greater strength in proportion as the evidence of time seems to sanction and confirm them. But if in private society suspicions of this kind would be entertained, and even acted upon in a more extended circle, how much more reasonable and justifiable was it to exercise a prudent vigilance in the Court of a young Queen, whose honour was sacred in the eyes of her people ? But these suspicions are converted by the malice of party into a conspiracy, and that, which would be inevitable anywhere else, is, in the Palace, regarded as a cabal. The absur dity of this assertion is really ludicrous. For what purpose is it supposed this conspiracy was hatched against Lady Flora Hastings? What object had the Ladies of the Palace'to gain? Why should they conspire against Lady Flora ?

A hundred people may obs erve th e same t hi ng at the same moment, and rec e i ve th e same i mpress i on ; and the attempt to est a bli s h a case aga i nst t h e fi rst observer _s is about as rational as to attempt to determine the first breath of gas that entered a balloon. One day it was the Baroness Lehzen, another day the Mar chioness of Tavistock, a third day Lady Portman ; —such are the expedients to which the explorers of an accusation that never was made are driven in their desperate efforts at propping up a vague and dishonourable calumny. The first intimation received by Sir James Clark on the subject was a summons from Lord Mel. bourne, who communicated to him, on the authority of the Marchioness of Tavistock, the remarks that prevailed in the Palace. Sir James, without mo:e ample means of professional observation, could not venture to give an opinion, and recommended that no further step should then he taken. Yet Sir James has occasionally been obliquely hinted at as the " accuser ;” and no doubt he would have been all along held up in that character, but that there was an old grudge against the Ladies of the Pa lace which this affair afforded a convenient oppor tunity of gratifying. And to this ancient grudge t h e whole of the subsequent vituperation may be clearly traced. It was at last determined that the state of Lady Flora's health should be ascertained, and Sir James Upon a dispassionate review of the whole, we can only arrive at this conclusion--that, from the first to the last, there is not one individual to whom a particle of blame can be attached. The Ladies of the Court were justified in the very slight part they took in the affair : the grounds of suspicion were strong and obvious : they made no actusation : the remarks upon Lady Flora were general, natu ral, and, in the Court of an unmarried Queen, not only excusable, but arising from a deep sense of duty. Nobody was actuated by any personal feeling against Lady Flora, and the source and progress of the incidents were such as must have occurred under similar circum stances any where else, although it is very doubt ful whether a similar discretion would have been observed in other circles. S:r James Clark acted throughout with a circumspection that cannot be too strongly commended ; he was placed in a si tuation of unparalleled embarrassment ; he had, too, a duty to perform, but it was one which the public at large cannot fairly appreciate, and which can be understood in all its bearings only by his own profession ; in the performance of that duty he could not have done less than was demanded at his hands by his position ; and, had he turned aside from the personally painful part of it, he must have betrayed the high and sacred interests which were confided to his skill and his integrity. We now take our leave of this case we hope for ever. Enough has been said upon all sides to develop its history, and nothing further can be added to it with advantage to any party. AU that can be known is known. The Marquis of Hast ings h'as abundantly vindicated the honour of his sister—if, indeed, such a vindication was neces sary ; and, with the explanations that have been submitted to the public by Sir James Clark, the discussion ought to terminate finally. ORONER'S INQUEST.—AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATll.—Yesterday morning an inquest was held in the Board-room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before Thomas Wakley, Esq., on the body of William Lucas. aged 4.2. The deceased gained his living by doing por ters' work, and on Monday evening last, as he was pro ceeding along Portland-place, he was noticed to stagger forward as if seized with giddiness, and after an ineffec tual attempt to support himself by catching hold of the area railings, he fell heavily on the footway pavemeet, and on his being raised up was found to be insensible. He was removed to the hospital, and being placed on a bed, he s:ghed heavily and instantly expired. Ver dict—Died by the visitation of God. CHI LD - DROPPING.—On Tuesday atternoon an inqae:-.t was held b e f ore M r. Higgs, at the Coach and Horses, Flood-street, Westminster, on the body of a fall-grown and new-born female infant, which was found on Sunday morning last, sown up in two pieces of car petting, and exposed, laid on a bit of plank, in some waste ground in the possession of Mr. Mann, of the Vauxhall Bridge-road. Police constable 158 B, proved the finding of the body, but said he could obtain no clue to its parents, or to the persons who had exposed it. Mr. J. Wright, surgeon, was of opinion the child had breathed for a few minutes, but he was unable to say whether it had died from natural causes or not. The Coroner expressed his horror at the frequent exposure of children under the same circumstances, and said that if the parish would print and placard notices, he would himself offer five pounds for the detection of the guilty parties. He requested the beadle to mention his offer to the proper authorities. Verdict—Found dead." SERIOUS COACH ACCIDENT.—On Saturday evening a serious accident happened on the Uxbridge road, between Hanwell and Southall, to Nash's Ux bridge coach. As it was returning from town, between seven and eight o'clock, it was most wantonly run against by a broad-wheeled waggon, which was coming along at a rapid rate, by which the axtletree of the coach was broken and the wheel torn off. Mr. Nash, who was driving, and an outside passenger, were thrown with great violence to the ground, and were much hurt. The horses immediately took fright, and the co ac h f or a di stance o f upwar d s o f a m ile before they w ere stoppe d ; b ut t h e i ns id e passenger s, although alarm e d, esca p e d i n j ury , an d t h e w h o l e u ltimately reached r Uxbrid g e i n p os t c h a i ses . gallopped off with _ . 1 THE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK UPON THE POLICE AT WALTHAMSTOW.---At the Word Petty Sesions on Tuesday Frederick ILigger, aged 20, attired in the garb of a labourer, and Wm n . ai H c a la g r g g e e r, o a t. sailor, were brought up for final examination under a strong escort of police from Ilford Gaol, o committing a murderous assault upon the police of that neighbourhood, by which the lives of James Reynolds and William Laurence were in imminent danger, the particulars relating to which appeared in this journal o f the 3. 4 . inst.

In the one case, the farmers lose their best men ; in the other, they make premature provision for a pauper population !" The practice, we suspect, both deprives the farmers of their best men and adds to the pauper population. We have heard it frequently remarked that the best labourers have every where availed themselves of the advantages held out by rail-roads and public works, and that the difference in appear ance between the labourers left in the villages and those employed on public works is so great that they hardly appear to belong to the same country. At the same time, the numbers remaining at home are still sufficient to produce the results which enable the farmers to dictate their terms to the labourers. One can easily understand from Mr. Acland how Sussex, and the part of Kent bordering on it, should have been the native country of Swing. Some of the details furnished by Mr. Acland re specting the items which constitute the expenditure of a labourer's family will serve to show what a deep interest he has in those high prices of food, which we are exultingly told, at the agricultural meetings, enable the farmer to remunerate him in an adequate manner. Out of the total expenditure of a man, his wife, and three children, in the neighbourhood of Uckfleld, amouLting, including rent, to 12s. weekly, the flour alone ( seconds), five gallons at Is. 5:1., or I Is. 4d. the bushel, forms an item of no less than 7s. ld. The poor wretch who receives in all only 12s. (more than the average of wages) has not a farthing remaining to expend on clothing or butcher's m ea t. N ow , l et us suppose the flour at 10d. the gallon, lie would reduce his expense for this article to 4s. 2d., giving him 3s. a week for clothing and butcher's meat. The labourer, however, is not such a fool as the Duke of Buckingham and Sir James Graham take him to be. He remembers well that it was during the period of ag r i cu lt ura l di stress, as i t was called (though it was only the distress of the 'squire), that the bones of his children's cheeks be gan to be well covered with flesh. Agricultural prosperity is always associated in his mind with the idea of pinched bellies. In fact, the poor creature must be little elevated above the condition of the brutes that perish, if he do not mark that the seasons which fill the mansion of the 'squire with festivity, are to him seasons of suffering and privation. With the exception of the hand-loom weavers, all classes of workmen in towns are unquestionably much better off with respect to subsistent* than the agricultural labourers. It is no doubt true that the agricultural labourer has compensation in the pure air he breathes, and the cheerful objects by which he is surrounded, and that he can exist in a state of health on a much poorer diet than is re quired by the inhabitants of a crowded city. But he is far from satisfied with his lot, and has . the feeling that he is wronged. Whenever the struggle between the towns and the country fairly com mences, the Duke of Buckingham will discover that the agricultural labourers are as much opposed to the corn monopoly as are the inhabitants of towns. Again, we repeat the expression of the satisfac tion we feel at the appearance of these reports. It is alway s well to be in possession of the facts, and Mr. Arland seems to be thoroughly aware of the importance of the most minute accuracy in such matters.—Morning Chronicle. AGRICULTURAL MEETINGS.-Our readers, we are persuaded, do not desidcrate all the details of all these meetings that occur daily in different parts of the country, and will be well content simply to know that such meetings are frequent. They will of course con clude that the landlords are active—not exclusively in promoting the growth of corn, but in aiding that of Toryism too. THE MAIDEN QUEEN.—No female, perhaps, ever studied variety and richness of costume more than Elizabeth. She appeared almost every day in a dif ferent dress, and was so fond of clothes that she could never part with them ; at her death she had in her wardrobe all the different habits she had es er worn, amounting to upwards of three thousand. Paul Hent zer, a German, who travelled in England in 159 E, thus speaks of Queen Elizabeth :—" Next came the Queen, in the With year of her age, as we were told, very ma jestic ; her face oblong, fair, but wrinkled. She had in her cars two pearls, with drops ; she wore false hair, and that red, and upon her head she had a small crown. She was dressed in white silk, bordered with pearls of the size of beans, and over it a mantle of black silk, shot with silver threads. Her train was very long, the end of it borne by a Marchioness. Instead of a chain she had a collar of gold and jewels. Whoever speaks to her, it is kneeling; now and then she raises some with her hand. While we were there she gave William Siawator her hand to kiss, sparkling with rings and jewels, a mark of particular favour. Wherever she turned her face as she was going along, everybody fell down on his knees. In the antechamber petitions were presented to her and she received them most graciously,'which occasioned the exclamation, God save the Queen Elizabeth.' She answered it with,' I thancke youe, myne good peupel.'" —lnce': Outlines of English History. On Monday last the 14th instant, a numerous meeting of the pocket-book and leather case maker's trade was held in the theatre of the Mechanics' Insti tution, Southampton-buildings, for the purpose of re ceiving the Rep o rt o f a Committee appointed at a pre vious meeti ng , t o dr a w up a code of laws for the go vernment of a Pension Society in the above trad es , the Committee C G e e m or m ge itteehad Conen in thechair. the A meetin g been read dressed in support of the objects of the So c i ety b y Messrs. Clapham, Church, Edwards, Sharp, George, Crouch, W. H. Watson , &c. &c. The necessity of instituting and supporting such Societies, which by small weekly or quarterly payments enable the work man to provide a pension for his old age, or for his widow in the event of his 'v ire surviving him, was forcibly dwelt upon by the several speakers, particularly that now, owing to the infamous enactments of the New Poor•law Bill there is no recourse for the aged and infirm but the tender mercies of a workhouse bastille, and the call thus made was most nobly responded to by the meeting, and we are happy to state that the sub scription lists are filling up in a very satisfactory manner. Mr. George was elected to the office of Treasurer, Messrs. Lutwycke, Edward,,, and Crouch as Trustees, and Mr, H. Palmer, Hon. Secretary. The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Committee and Chairman, who acknowlee ged the vote in a powerful and argumentative speech., and the meeting dissolved. SUICIDE—CORN-LAWS.—A Contemporary as serts that there is not, a cause more fruitful of self destruction than the *ignoble vanity which places in worldly appearances its shame or its honour. And there is warrant for the assertion. But a cause equally productive of suicide exists in the want and misery to which so many men are reduced by the diminished de mand of labour occasioned: by the Corn-laws. How many hundreds daily seek in vain for that employment which is essential to the subsistence of themselves and families—and finding they cannot live in the world,' madden, and resolve to I •emove out of it. Suicide, and almost every crime i acideat to our unhealthy so cial state, may, in many in stances, be laid to the accoua' t of the Corn-laws. Thus. crime and Corn-laws stars in the connexion of cau'ie and effect.
