Last 'evening a very numerous meeting of mernly of the Royal College of Surgeons took place at Exet, hall, for the purpose of considering the course to pursued by the Council of the Collego in their refusal , grant an interview to a deputation to present an addr , signed by upwards o f 1,00 0 mem b ers on the present stt o the medical prof • _ nliession. Mr. J. B. Asbury, of Enfield, was at ei PRICE sd. __ght o'cl , called to the chair, and was supported by Mr. Wakl, M.P., Dr. Carpue, Dr. Lamb, Dr. Thompson, Dr. Jot son, Dr. Lynch, and a large number of medical prue tioners of considerable eminence. The CHAIRMAN having explained the object of t' meeting, Dr. LYNCH proposed the first resolution, to the effect " That the refusal of the Council of the College Surgeons of England to receive a deputation with address most respectfully worded, and signed by i, wards of 1,000 members of that College, was a deli, rate insult offered to those members by the Conn/ , which stands without a parallel in the history of men' tine in this country." The Doctor proceeded at grf length to denounce the arbitrary power possessed by I Council of the College of Surgeons under the new cht ter recently granted them by Government, by whi• they were enabled to elect Fellows indiscriminate' without reference to merit or high and distinguished tainments in physiology and anatomy, but solely thron private influence, self-interest, and wealth being exereis. in lieu thereof. At this stage of the proceedings the room became • densely crowded that an adjournment to one of the 'art rooms of the hall was put and carried, and took place cordingly. Dr. LYNCH again resumed, and called upon the Ince ing in the language of the Times newspaper, to whi. journal the profession were deeply indebted for iti ab advocacy—(Loud cheers)—" to fight the battle thei selves and they would be sure to win."—(Cheers.) Mr. MoTT seconded the resolution, which, after sor few observations from Mr. Greville Jones, was put ai carried unanimously. Mr. IloLltEs moved the next resolution— " That the meeting considered, that inasmuch as t' authority of the Council was exercised under the pr visions of charters which had been granted by the Crop the commonalty of the College publicly demanded th. the names of those members of the Council who dete mined that the deputation should not be received shoe be published for the information of the members of tl • College, and the medical profession generally." Mr. Hurciitssox, of Farringdon-street, seconded 11 resolution, which was also put and carried nem. con. Several other resolutions passed, admonishing tl Council of the College of Surgeons that the power creating fellows, an thereby conferring the electi franchise on the members, must permanently expire ( the 14th instant, and that the members of the Collet would hold the Council to be responsible for an illiberi or an invidious exercise of that authority. Dr. Carpue, Mr. Cooper, and other gentlemen havire c addressed the meeting, Mr. WAKLEr M.P., in answer to loud and repeate' calls, came forward, and was received with great sr plause. He said that not only the Council of the Collet. • of Surgeons, but Parliament were watching with anxiei the movements of the profession, and he was delight( at the spirit which had manifested itself that evening.- (Cheers.) Eighteen years ago he had attended one . the largest medical meetings ever held in London, to pc tion that the elective franchise sho u ld b e gran t e d to ti members of the College. Petitions poured in time aft. e time, and at last the Executive Government had thong) , proper to take a most unusual step by granting to tL Council, which had been denounced for the last twent years, the privilege of exercising that very power whici, bad been refused to the general body. The power te, grant that franchise was now vested in the Council, bu on Saturday next it would cease. Up to the presen time they had refused to give men equal in talent an ability to themselves, the power to exercise that whicl , was their undoubted right.—(Hear, hear.) The con duct of the Council had placed the profession in a mos , degrading position before Parliament, for they had la fused, having the power to grant the franchise, to intro, it to the profession. He would ask if they still refuse to meet them as equals in the College of Surgeon would they degrade themselves by meeting those me.. elsewhere ?—(Cries of " No, no.") This chartar wa• , in fact, a bill of pains and penalties against the member of the College, for they could never become members . • the Council, because they were not fellows, unless the were made such before the 14th of the present mont) Mr. Wakley, at much length, and in a most hum.. rous manner, described the effect of the new Bill intro • duced by Sir,James Graham, whom he designated as ti " Medicine, or Great Mystery Man," like a similar mt. dical gentleman brought over here by the loway Indian to advance quackery, and concluded by proposing a Tot s of thanks to the Chairman. Dr. CARPUE seconded the motion, which was car ried with loud acclamations, and the meeting separate(' at a late hour, DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE 0 THE INMATES,—This morning, between the hours ( twelve and one o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in th; private dwelling-house belonging to Mrs. Jones, situa No.ll, Bride-terrace, Liverpool-road, Islington. Tw gentlemen in passing along the terrace were the first t make the unwelcome discovery, by perceiving mot , issuing out of the parlour windows. An instant elan •+ was raised, and the inmates were apprised of the greb; danger that awaited them. At that time there were tot tunately only three persons in the building, consisting two female domestics and an infant. After considerabl difficulty- they were all got out, but not before the &nil • had gained a great head. By half-past one o'clock owing to the indefatigable exertions of the firemen, th flames were entirely extinguished. The whole of th furniture as well as the building itself was consumed, The origin of the outbreak is not known. Mrs. Jon‘ is fortunatily partially insured in the Globe Fire-office The premises, which ar e th e p ro p er ty o f Mr. Kale,, Upper-street, Islington, are also insured. The furnitur • in the two adjoining houses is much damaged by watt:. and hasty removal. INUNDATIONS.—Under the heading, "Bois-le-Due,.. we have extracted some particulars touching the awft.' condition of that district of country, Owing to these de structive visitations. From the Constitutionnel of Frida last we take the following singular details of a similar calamity in another part of Europe :—" Russia has also, its share of those inundations which for some weeks pat have been the cause of so many disasters in differero localities. They write from SL Petersburgh, that in the morning of the 4th of August, by reason of a violen wind and a pelting shower (tine pluie battante), the Velika and the Pskova experienced a considerable increase in the volume of their waters ; and the bridge:, over these two rivers wore broken and carried away the, irresistible violence of the current. Tho bridge the Velika was rapidly forced in a direction towards the. lake of Pskoff, and the people had the greatest possibl , , difficulty in stopping it at a point about Ave versts front the city. From thence it is in contemplation to tow it up the stream to her former position, by means of steam-boat belonging to Dorpat, which had arrived ;, few days previously-. The Revue de Paris informs us that " the commer cial relations of France with Morocco began under Louis XIV. Colbert was the first Minister who encouraged French traders established on the coast of Africa, around and at the foot of that barrier which has been called the bastion of France, to penetrate into the empire of Mo rocco. Their first transactions were managed by way of barter. The Moors exchanged their hides, ostrich feathers, cattle, &c., against arms, powder, and shot. At a later period this commerce took a more regular course, and continued in it more than a century, without any serious difficulty arising between the two States. Un der the reign: of Louis XVI., the Emperor, having al lowed himself unwarrantably to confiscate the cargo of a French vessel at Mogadore, M. Cheviers, Consul-Gene ral of France for the Levant, and resident at Constanti nople, received orders to repair in person to the Empe ror, and to make to him the most energetic protesta thins against such an out rage . Th a t ge ntleman's mis sion not having had any sort of success, and the events. which had supervened in France having withdrawn the attention of the Government from the affair, this state of things continued until a period long subsequent, when. on the occasion of the expedition to Egypt, amicable re lations were re-established between the two countries. From that time, until 1830, these relations continued al ways cordial. In the course of this protracted interval, the several agents for France always remained each for several years at his post. This will be evident from the. following list of French Consuls-General :—M. d'Ornaru. continued in this capacity from the earliest days of , the re 1828; do l sv i. n o t o o u t r h te e n y u - E to mpi lB2B to 1829; M. Mecham from 1829 to 1839. Finally, from 1839 to the present time, M. Sourdeau from lbl . ! M. Dora de Neon. Independently of these Consular agents, e x ar fro lB m l4; Colonel Delarne and M. de Mornay have discharged, since 1830, the functions of Envoys. Extraordinary, ac credited to the Court o f Morocco with the object o f urg ing their remonstrances to the reigning Emperor on the saudact he had pursued towards France:" DEATH or SIR PATRIEK MA XWELL , BART., OP S P RINGKELL.—It is with feelings of the most painful re gret that . we record the sudden and melancholy death of Sir Patrick, Maxwell, Bart., of Springkell, which took place on .fuesd,ty morning, about nine 'o'clock. On rh k oo e a l r l ds e t o h n a dn betweeno e fallen k h i i l i l Ni , Nr, N it l t p he e bh r r e ii Monday_ night Sir Patrick was returning from Spring md e l i ( e t vandhw was s h E r w e cc s e i l d e a f i r e n e c g h; n a:n o . h,rem'enieldhoeinrt hadthhies done a few days previous), or some other cause not ascer tained, h e w as t h rown on the road, and received a severe injury, which rendered him insensible. He was shortly after found, and carried to the farm-house of Caldwell knowe, when medical aid was procured, and every avail able means had recourse to in order to effect his recovery, but all to no avail, as he gradually sank till next morn ing, when he expired.—Dumfries Standard. Several ladies have applied to us for our opinion as to the probability of a war, the reports in the town, from the number of couriers that pass, spreading terror among them for their own safety and th a t of their children. , e beg to assure them that, so soon as we perceive the least indication of even the probability of war, we shall pub lish a Supplement detailing the grounds upon which our opinion is formed, and cautioning them fur the future; but, at present, there is not the slightest appearance of the harmony between the two Governments being dis turbed. We request all, therefore, to remain quiet an calm; we read daily all that is passing at both seats of Government ; we have a most enlightened correspon dent at Paris, who has access to the best and earliest in formation, and our readers may rest assured that what ever we may consider necessary for them to know, shalt, be laid before them at the earliest moment. The num ber of couriers is the result of stock-jobbing, or the en terprise of the London journals : those who kno w Bou logne and its idle inmates will not pay much attention to their gossip.—Boulogne Gazette, Sept. 2.

The present portion of Mr. Hood's domestic novel, entitled " Our Family," opened with a humorous scene of an altercation between two servants respect ing the proper mode of treating their master's infant children. The one is all for the soothing system, the other for compelling the helpless innocents in question to rough it through their nursery career. The quar rel between the two servants is carried on with a dis regard to the proprieties of grammar and com mon-sense exquisitely extravagant and original. " Sonnet," by the late John Keates, is a very poor affair, remarkable rather for verbiage than thought or sentiment. " Uncle Tom in Trouble," is a cleverish sketch of academic life at Oxford.

Yesterday the first general meeting of this Railway Company, which has been just established, was held at the London-bridge terminus, at NI hich Marwood Kelly, Esq., took the chair. The Secretary read the report of the Board of Directors, which stated the steps that had been adopted for the formation of the Society, and obtaining the required Parliamentary powers, by which it appeared that the chief delay and obstruction which had been caused in the progress of the formation of the line was owing to the number of shares required by the Act of Parliament not being yet taken up. The Chairman then said, in reference to the present state and prospects of the Company, that they were una bl e to proceed with the formation of the line as yet, owing to the length of time occupied by the negotiations with the Duke of Norfolk with respect to the right of crossing the river close by the Shoreham terminus. His Grace had erected s ch,in-bridge near that spot, and by a clause in the Act he was entitled to charge a toll upon all persons crossing the river within a mile on either side of his bridge. The Company was consequently compelled to enter into an agreement with his Grace to pay the sum of 42,000/. for the right of running this line direct to the Shoreham station. Mr. James Scott thought this to be a most exorbitant and extravagant sum to demand for the privilege, and afforded another strons proof of the grasping avarice of the aristocracy. the Chair man admitted that the demand was large, but they were compelled by necessity to accede to it. Mr. Henderson, one of the Directors of the London and Brighton Railway Company, contended that, consi dering the large sum expended by the Noble Duke in the erection of the chain-bridge, the sum demanded was an equitable one. After a lengthened discussion the report was adopted, and the Chairman moved a resolution, to carry into effect a proposition, on the part of the Brighton Company, to take up the unap propriated shares, having at the same time an option to take a lease of the line at per cent. ; which was opposed by Mr. Scott, who moved, as an amendment, "That the consideration of the subject should be post poned for a fortnight." Ultimately, however, he consented to withdraw his amendment, and the original motion was carried unanimously. A resolu tion was next passed, by which the Directors were empowered to adopt such steps as would be most be neficial for the extension of the railway from Chi chester to Portsmouth ; after which a vote of thanks was proposed, and adopted unanimously, to the Direc tors for their exertions in passing the Bill through Parliament, and the meeting separated.

Oh ! sweet are the flowers of early Spring When her budding wreath she weaves ; And bright are the glowing tints that . eling To the last of Autumn leaves. And dear to me was the spring-time once, And bright was the harvest moon ; But mine eye now turns with a kinder glance To the cloudless skies of June. For we met beneath those skies at eve, As the sun in splendour set ; But our souls were dark as the eastern wave, Which the evening rays forget. For Fortune seror'd my love from me, And we wept to part so soon ; But the token she gave for memory Was a blooming rose of June. For that was all of its worshipp'd wealth That the world had given us then ; But, oh I for the wasted hope and health Of those vanish'd years again I And, oh ! for the love so freely given, For life hath no such boon To offer now, as was promised then, By that lovely Rose of June. Long, long was the treasured blossom worn, When its leaves were dead and sere, And far was the frail memorial borne, Through the storms of many a year. For dear to the depths of memory, As the wanderer's household tune, When heard on his far and weary way, Was that wither'd Rose of June. My task was done, and my hopes were crown'd, And I sought my native shore ; - And my home and my kindred's hearts I found As I left their land of yore. I came in the strength of hope and love— In the pride of manhood's noon ; But I came to plant on her early grave The first bright Rose of June. Oh ! many a spring, with its blossoms bright, O'er my lonely path hath swept, But joyless all, as the morning's light • To the eyes that have not slept. Yet the flower in my first affection shrined, Though its beauty perished soon, Still it blooms in the wastes of memory, twined With the lovely Rose of June ! ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED i n ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thersby insuring a TOWN awl COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. ' order to facilitate his movements, he perfected himself in the Arabic language, and assumed the garb and appear ance of a Dervish, by which means he was enabled to visit in safety all parts of the country. He nas employed for some time by Colonel Taylor, the resident at Baghdad, on exploratory missions, one of which was to trace the retreat of the ten thousand Greeks. On this occasion, a native damsel was given to him as a spouse, in return fur his having cared her of ophthalmia ; but he afterwards exchanged her for a donkey, the latter being more useful in following the footsteps of the Greeks. There was great difficulty in getting him to put the re sult of his researches on paper, and ho required constant superintendence —at one moment, the chair was too high; at another, the pen was bad—in fact, the irksomeness of writing was quite inconsistent with his acquired habits of desultoriness. The MS. however exists, and is, with many others, in Colonel Taylor's possession. Mr. .T. Bailie Fraser was permitted access to it, with the Colonel's usual liberality ; and he says, in his work on Mesopotamia (p. 301), that, as Mr. Elliot possessed means of obtaining information which fell to the lot of few, the notes which ho left are of immense value, more especially as they respect the manners and domestic habits of the people. " Mr. Elliot had, at this time, just returned from a mission, composed of the two Messrs. Lynch and Mr. Staunton, which had been sent to the Arabs, on the Euphrates. They had visited the tribes of Waldiya, Gizeh, Bu Sipahi, and others of th 'Anezeh. Their re ception was generally very favourable, but as they were bearers of presents to the different sheikhs, one of the Bedwin tribes, the Bu Lilchi by name, conceived the in telligent project of appropriating the whole to them selves ; and they followed the party for some days withj these amiable intentions, which they carried so far, as to wound one of the servants ; but as this wits explained away as a playful accident, and Captain Lynch's intimate acquaintance with the character of the people enabled him to exhibit great forbearance on the occasion, a colli sion was avoided, and the sheikh was afterwards anxious to compromise the matter by presents, which were not accepted. " Mr. Elliot still wore the Dervish dress ; and hence he always went by the name of Dervish Ali. His man ners were extremely flighty, and never, for a moment to be depended upon. At one time he was praying and dancing with the villagers, at another, he would get up a quarrel with them. Having, one day, indulged a little, he became unwell ; upon which, although a dark night, he put a candle into a painr-lantern, which he hung by the bow of his saddle, and took himself off, across the stony and deserted mountain districts, to Aleppo. He was, however, notwithstanding his peculiarities, of great use to the expedition ; and after it broke up, was em ployed by Captain Lynch. His end was melancholy-- having perished on the desert, between Damascus and Baghdad." NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. Among the literary articles in the present Number, the most sensible, if not the most entertaining, are some remarks suggested by the Reports of the Com mittees on Gaming, which seems to be written by one who is thoroughly conversant with the bearings of the subject on which he expatiates. Of the two sporting embellishments, the cleverest is one entitled " September," which represents a sportsman reclining at his ease on a bank, after the fatigue of a day's shooting. UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. There are always, at least, one or two amusing articles in this periodical, and on those themes, too, of which the pensive public most like to read— namely, the exploits of our soldiers-and sailors during the late wars with France and America. The Num ber before us, in addition to several other papers of an amusing character, contains one, headed " Some Passages in the Life of a Sailor," which is full of stirring incident.

The tariff of Sir Robert Peel is beginning to work well for the lower and middle classes. An adver tisement in our yesterday's paper announced that a public sale of hams, pork, ox tongues, smoked beef, family beef, and sausages, with Irish salmon, and undressed turtle, would take place this day, at No. 2, Monument-yard, by Messrs. Keeling and Hunt, the enterprising caterers of those generous viands with which our transatlantic brethren tempt the English appetite. We were tempted, like many of our me tropolitan brethren, to wend our way to the epicurean shades of the " vulgar East," in order to ascertain what "Heaven had in store for us." To the courtesy of "the firm," we are indebted for much informa tion ; but as a mere analysis of it would occupy a greater space than we can possibly afford to give, we must content ourselves by assuring our very good friend, " the public," that its time will not be mis used if it attends at this very important sale.

The embellishments to this Magazine are, as usual, excellent ; among them is a picturesque sylvan scene representing a venerable forest oak stretching its huge branches across a stream, whose waters it throws into deep shadow. There is infinite spirit shown in the execution of this plate. There is some lively dialogue in the " Adventures of a Scamp," but the article is too much spun out. It is amusingly illus trated by Leech, who is no unworthy successor of George Cruikshank. We quote the following sketch of an English farmer from a descriptive article en titled " A Seasonable Gossip :" " Let us now glance for a moment at the farmer, the genuine unsophisticated yeoman of the old school—the broad-backed, strong-limbed, and brawny-handed scion of the ancient stock— what a transformation the autumn works in him ! Much as we respect the many traits of excellence peculiar to his character, we must confess, that he is, in general, a dull and ponderous animal, a slow-spoken, heavy-witted saunterer, patiently watchful of the progress of his crops, and punctually attentive to the periodical satisfaction of his appetites; but at hay sell and at harvest, how marvellous the change ! It is a strife between the laverock and himself, which shall be first abroad; and as with him so with his household. The earliest glance shot by the rising sun, through the sparkling casement of his ample kitchen, shines 'upon every member of the family, old and young, circling a breakfast-table laden with abundance most profuse. Brief space, not idly spent, is thus consumed. Without, a sleek and silken-coated cob, saddled and bridled, awaits tho burden of his master's bulk, and, mounting this, the anxious yeoman hastens to the fields. .The swarthy reapers own the influence of their master's eye, and sickles glance like lightning-flashes through the yielding corn. Sometimes, alighting from his nag, he wields that implement himself, and with a lower, broader sweep, enjoins a greater thrift of straw, dwell ing exultingly the while (how mournful is the yearly retrocession of the world !) upon the superior mode of reaping and of binding sheaves, which generally ob tained when he was young ; while elder men, who were his rustic tutors in the labours of the field, bury their brown faces in the wheat, and with difficulty suppress a smothered laugh. Presently he is among the busiest of the carters in a neighbouring field, pitching the sheaves, or driving team, or portioning out supplies of beer, or ruminating on the quality and prospective value of his well-housed oats. And so he flits from field to field, busy as the busiest, and manifesting a ♦olubility of speech and suppleness of limbs peculiar to the occasion, rather than the individual. Dinner supplies him with a timely respite, but the customary nap which used to follow like an epilogue, is now foregone, and afternoon, and even night (if the sky be threatening); find him lingering in the fields with the adhesive pertinacity of the worthy in the old ballad, who Oft fitted the halter, oft traversed the cart, And often took leave, but seem'd loath to depart.' Nor is it merely in the harvest-field and in the home stead that the most delightful characteristics of the sea son are observable. Orchards and garden•grounds are rich with their abundant fruitage ; and creaking branches heavy with luscious burdens, droop to the very ground, which they so richly chequer with their restless shadows. AINSIT'ORTH'S MAGAZINE. In the present chapters of his "St. James's, or the Court of Queen Anne," the editor introduces us to that notorious French political adventurer .the Mar quis de Guiscard, and describes that memorable scene in the Council Chamber—to which Swift has made such frequent allusions in his Journal to Stella — when the Marquis openly attempted the assassination of Harley. The whole scene is wrought up in Mr. Ainsworth's most careful and effective manner. The " Husband Malgre Lui" is a story which evinces descriptive talent of no ordinary character.- The " Gipsey's Tragedy" is from the pen of the author of the Mountain Decameron. The scene of the nar rative is laid in South Wales, and the incidents— more particularly the denouement—are impressive, though not devoid of exaggeration, which is the be setting sin of all Mr. Downes's fictions. " Wanted a Governness" details the humiliations and annoyances to which those are subjected whose hard lot it is to earn a livelihood by undertaking the education of children. The " Lady Lucille and her Wedding Brooch" is a lively piece of versification, whose danc ing measure and ingenious rhymes will recal the Ingoldsby Legends to the reader's recollection. " Every Man has his Doctor Johnson" is an essay illustrative of a social truth that all must feel, though not all will acknowledge. There is much sagacity in this observation :—" If there be a tendency to dis parage, there is an equal tendency to admire and exalt, in the humanity that moves about us con tinually. The ordinary world is full of extraordi nary humours. The enemy of idol-worship likes to keep a little pet-god or pocket-divinity of his o If we muoit have something to vent our spleen upon, we must also have something to puff and venerate. Hero-worship is everywhere. It is a vital principle in the religion of social life. There is no such thing as a consistent leveller." " John Manesty, the Liverpool Merchant," is here brought to a close. It is a clever tale, but its author, the late Dr. Maginn, does not exhibit to such advantage in it as in thoSe worldly sketches, essays, and criticisms, which for years he was so continually in the habit of contribut, ing to the monthly periodicals. " Kate Crosby's Polka Party" is a story scarce one degree removed from common-place. The " Termination of the Transport" is a narrative by Mr. F. Ainsworth, of his recent travels in Syria. He thus speaks of a re markable character with whom he comes in contact in the neighbourhood of Antioch : " Here we found Mr. Elliot, commonly called Dervish Ali, whose services as an interpreter had been obtained since our arrival in the country, and w ho had provided two empty houses for our use, one of which was con verted into an hospital, and the other kept for the offi cers, Fitzjames and Bell being at the time among the invalids. This Mr. Elliot was a very remarkable cha racter. He had received a good education, was a tole rable classical scholar, and had been a medical student at one of the London hospitals, but having come to the East, his passion for wandering became so great, as to lead him to sacrifice everything iu order to gratify it. In BRITISH MAGAZINE. The most generally interesting article in the pre sent Number, is that which is very fitly placed first. It is headed " Some Notices of the Early Colonial Church," and gives details, short, but 'animated, respecting the labours of the early missionaries in America. In addition to this article, there is a chap ter on religious antiquities, which is worth reading, together with a copious monthly register of eccle siastical information. SPURTING MAGAZINE. We have here two engravings, each, of course, illustrative of a sporting subj ec t—th e one represents two men setting out with their guns, and dogs, and ponies, on a shooting excursion to some neighbouring moors; and the other, an angler fishing for salmon in a broad, shallow, mountain stream, jnst below a bridge which span s the water, and has a picturesque back-ground of wood and mountain. Both plates are skilfully executed. Among the literary contents, appears a lively article, descriptive of a visit paid by the writer to the Marquis of Waterford's and the Earl of Shannon's hounds. THE THEOLOGIAN, This periodical professes to be a chronicle of ancient and modern Divinity, and universal Christian litera ture, and contains this month a well-digested essay on the " Cabalistic Writers," to say nothing of some ingenious speculations on " The Fall." FARMER'S MAGAZINE. This is a journal, as its title imports, exclusively devoted to the consideration of subjects con nected with the agricultural interests, and in the Number before us, we find, inter cilia, some common sense remarks on " Irrigation." EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT IPSWICH. (Abridged from the Suffolk Chronicle.) EAnsx CLOSING.—During the week the town of Ipswich, after eight o'clock in the evening, has been the scene of considerable excitement, in consequence of a large and disorderly crowd of persons assembling opposite the shop of Mr. Bloxsome, in Brook-street, upon the plea that it was kept open after the time agreed upon by the proprietor. It appears that, when the arrangement was made among the drapers, - to close their establishments at eight in the summer, Mr. Bloxsome was one of those who signed a paper to adhere to that rule, and he continued to keep the terms imposed until Monday last, when, a few hours before the time of closing, he gave notice of his intention to return to the practice of later hours. This determination soon became known, and whether by instigation, or mere knowledge, a crowd of people, disgraceful in their general behaviour, con gregated outside the premises, and besides disturb ing the neighbourhood, proceeded to throw stones, by which several valuable panes of glass have been much injured. All attempts to soothe the excited feelings of those outside were of no avail, and the police were dispatched to the place to prevent further obstruction. The presence of these authorities, however, did no -good beyond repressing mischievous pranks, and though the mayor, town clerk, and other official persons also presented themselves night after night, the crowd has continued to increase. Much sympathy has been evinced by the inhabitants in favour of the assistants, and although they condemn the open annoyance and disturbance, as not being the proper means of obtain ing the object sought, yet most anxiously desire that all tradesmen who had, after proper deliberation, signed the agreement to close at eight o'clock, should continue to keep it. Mr. Bloxsome says he regrets he is obliged to revert to late hours, but he finds his re ceipts fallen off so considerably by the change, that in justice to himself he could not continue the system without entailing a loss he did not consider himself justified to bear. In the meantime, no increase of custom appears to flow to his establishment, for while the crowd remain outside no person will, of course, attempt to enter the premises. Yesterday a large number of special constables we re sworn in to keep the peace, and the crowd wa s l ess , en dl e ss annoyance offered. a passage We read in Le Pilate, Guernsey paper , otwithout Its wh l s ch a i s s fi n m o ws :—" The relative to the Channel Islands, interest at the present moment. f works and or i ca ton. for f t'fi t . , t templating the erection notion is (hilly gaining ground that Government is con °onsiderable scale.
