In three Tog. • •• " Mr. Mills, both in this and hi his former works, appears in a Very agreeable light:. Me is evidently himself an English gentleman of the best School, and an eminently patriotic writer. 1.11 his taste and predilections seem directed to the beauties and other good quali ties to be met with in` this island. He loves his home with an exclu sive love, possibly because he knows no. better; but •possibly also— and this we would fain believe—because he has made the experiment, and has discovered satisfaction no where else. If 'this be the case, we are glad to have Mr. Mills's testimony in favour of our social system,-for he has evidently a keen relish of enjoyment. He relishes life, such as he finds A here, like one of nature's epicures ; and he would not give two farthings to the inventor of a new pleasure. The English Fire Mile is, indeed; well 'arranged and rapid, and deeply In teresting, nay exciting—in this respect it far supersedes the author's previous priid'actions.

CHING'S WORM DESTROYING LOZENGES have for fifty years held a distinguished repu tation, and.are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names in rank, respectability, and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility in their own families. It is a fact established by the annual Bills of Mortality, that ons. half the children born are cut off before attaining seven years of age grid the fruitful source of this m. rtality is found to exist in that foul state of the stomach and bowels which produces the generation of worms, The symptoms usually are loss of appetite, a paleness of colour of the face, emaciated and irregular, ,state of the bowels, attended with violent pain. They bring on convulsions; they affect the growth of the body; and they prove fatal by ending in a consumption or decay. As the certain restorer of Infantine Health, in this critical stite, "Ching s Worm-Destroying Lozenges" have long been kaown and esteemed ; mild and safe. in Or it operation, suited to everystage of this petiodof life, and infallible iii their effect, their excellence on Le gratefoily totilled tp many fond and anxious mothers who have successfully had recotwie to them. .

Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from Peeble shire against any alteration in the mode of assessing Roman Catholics to the poor. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the county of Ayr, praying for protection to agriculture. Earl FITZWILLIAM wished to know if the peti tioners prayed for further protection, or only a con tinuance of the present protection. • The Duke of RICHMOND—The petition only prays for a continuance of the present protection; but I have no doubt that the petitioners agree with me in thinking that we could do very well with a little more._ . Earl MINTO gave notice of his intention to put a question to her Majesty's Government, after the recess, as to whether they intended to propose any other mea sure for increasing the salaries of schoolmasters in Scot land. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Leeds and Bradford Railway. Earl FORTESCUE moved for certain papers relating to the dismissal of Mr. Gray from the ►magistracy in Ireland. Earl BROWNLOW presented petitions in favour of the Leeds and Bradford Railway. Lord BROUGHAM deprecated the practice which had grown up this year of laying down. a single line of rails on railways, similar to the Leeds and Bradford, and Lancaster and Carlisle Railways. Several other Noble Lords expressed a similar opinion. Lord BROUGHAM laid on the table of the House a Bill to amend the laws relating to imprisonment for debt. FRENCH. INTERFEIiENCE - AT TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT then rose, pursuant to notice, to move for copies of the correspondence which had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Bri tish Consul at Tunis, on the subject of a trial of a Maltese subject fore the crime of murder. His object in submitting this motion to their Lordships was to show that a most unwarrantable interference had been shown by the French at Tunis, and to show that by that interference the treaty which had been entered into between the Sublime Porte, this country, and the Dey of Tunis, had been violated. If such interference as that which had been shown by the French in this case was to be tolerated by this country, he felt that our trade along the Barbary coast would soon be at an end. He thought that this was a case which the Foreign-office ought to take up; and it was in the hope of producing this effect that he had brought forward this motion. Who were the persons who claimed in this manner the protection of the British flag—were they respectable British merchants ? Very few of them. Were they the descendants of British residents ? Very few of them. They were the very dross of the people—persons who perhaps had, on one or two occasions, acted as interpre ters; or who had obtained their protection, and who made use of it to commit with iMpunity robberies and murders of the most atrocious cha racter? He trusted the Noble Earl would devise some means of putting an end to such a disgra"ceful state of things. He was sorry to see from the Maltese papers that the inh,abitants of Malta had taken up the cause of the guilty man, and had presented an address to the French Consul, praising him for his interference, and blaming Sir Th omas Reade for 'abandoning the murderer to justice. He could 'understand how the Maltese might have a fellow-feelinifor a coun tryman, but they ought to have been actuated by a feeling of horror and disgust for the murderer. The Noble Lord concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for extracts from the correspondence between the Foreign office and Sir Thomas Meade, Consul at Tunis, respecgug the trial of the Maltese Xulbet, and the interference of the French Consul-General Nfonsietir de Lagan. Lord ABERDEEN said that the difficulties con nected with the jurisdiction of the Levant were Very great indeed, and no man -knew theni better than 'The Noble Lord opposite: He (Lord Aberdeen) had hiniself introduced a Bill which bad beCome the law of the land, A na which he thought would apply a remedy which would remove those difficulties. He had no objection to lay the 'correspon dence which the Noble Lord moved for on the table of the House. The case to which those papers referred Was that Qf a cold-blooded murder, executed in broad day ; and the eours e which had been pursued by her Majesty's Government in.this matter was consistent With existing treaties, and was under the sanction of the highest legal authority. With tvspect to the conduct of certain functionaries at Tunis in this • proceeding, it did pot in the slightest degree affect the , decision and the conduit e i f the (lovevnment ; hut he did ,not think it a proper "subject of discussion in that Rouse. 4** was more suited for the interference of Go vernment, by whom due . notice had been taken of the conduct to which , the Noble Lord had referred bat although •the Goyerument had uv wißli to protect crimos committed by British subjects, they were by no means indiffer e nt to t h e rights of the Christians in. the East ; and he wished to take that op portunity of stating to . their Lordships that Uoverujilent )10 14e 1 y; 440 e 0(10d. with the Porte in preventing the revival of an obsolete practice by which Christians who had embraced Mo hammedanism and . returned to Clyristianity , were put to death, The papers connected with tilt t-ransaction having been moved ter in the House , ,Commons, he now, by her Majesty's command,, laid theei !on the table of their Lordships, .and the other papers to ',whieh the Noble Lord had referred should be prepared ,immediately, qnd also laid on the table of. the Boost;. . Lord WTTARNOLIFFE inquired of Lord Carapbel whether he thought it probable that his Noble and 'Learned Friend (Lord Cottenham) would postpone .the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debts Bill? Lord CAMPBELL said be had no authority for say ing that his Noble and Lealwd'Friefid would postpone it ; he thought it highly probable that he would not ac cede to any such prOpOifili Their LordAhips then adjourned, HOUSE OF COMMONS, May : 2l. The SPEAKEK took the Chair at the usual hour. PARLIAMENTARY MISTAKE. Mr. ESTCOURT moved that the Bill, intituled "An Act to notify a mistake as to the proceedings in the Eastern CountieS Railway Bill and the Eastern Counties Railway (Brandon and Peterborough Extension) Bill," shall be read the second time, be com mitted, engrossed, and read the third time this day. The object of the Bill was to rectify a mistake which , had occurred in the House of Lords, whereby one Bill had been substituted for another in the last Royal Commission,a Bill whioh had onlypassed the House of Commons having -behn inserted in the Commission. After a few words from Mr., LABOUCHERE, the Bill went through the various stages, and was passed. The Reporton the South-Eastern Railway was further considered, and ordered to be engrossed. On the motion of Mr. M. PHILIPS the Manchester Police Bill was read a third time. Mr. BOYD presented several 'petitions from Coleraine and various other places in the north of Ireland against the.Dissenters' Chapels Bill.; also 16 petitions from the north of Ireland, complaining of the law relating to PreS byterian marriages in Ireland. Colonel CONOLLY presented petitions from Milford and other places against the Dissenters' Chapel Bill ; also a petition from the distillers of Ballyshannon, com plaining that the present duty on spirits increased illicit distillation, and praying for a reduction of the duty. Mr. CORBALLY presented a petition from Meath, complaining of the law relating to Presbyterian marriages. Mr. HURST presented a petition from Horsham, in favour of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. Mr. VESEY presented a petition from the Queen's County, against the. Dissenters' Chapels Bill ; also a petition from Kilkenny, praying that the standing order might be suspended, so as to allow the Dublin and Cashel Railway Bill to pass this session. Sir W. BARRON presented a petition to the same effect. 4110 . Lord RENDLtSTIAM presented,a petition, from a Wesleyan congregation in Sussex, against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. Mr. 0. DUNCOMBE presented 102 petitions against the proceedings-of the Anti-Corn-law League. Mr. E. TENNENT presented several petitions against the law respecting Presbyterian marriages. Sir E.

Knight, Lord Ashley, and Mr. Villiers, Mr. GIBSON presented a petition against the under the new poor-law, Dr. BOW RING presented a petition to the same effect.

INGLIS presented a petition in favour of $4l)- bath observance. Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he would that day fortnight call the attention of tho House to the state of the public accounts, and the necessity of reforming them. Mr. VILLIERS gave notice that he would that day fortnight bring forward his motion on the subject of the corn-laws. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE pottponed for a fortnight his motion with respect to the petition of Charles Prioo and William White Thompson. THE STATE TRIA.LB.—IRELAND. Mr. WYSE moved for a return of copies • of all the affidavits and other documents in the case of the Queen against O'Connell. CUSTOMHOUSE FRAUDS. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE begged to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the Custom-house frauds would be ready to be delivered to Hon, Members. He per ceived by the Times, that that journal was in possession of the report, as it commented upon it in terms not very complimentary to the Custoni-house, but quite as com plimentary as the Custom-house deserved. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had no knowledge of how that journal got possession of the report. HO was aware that it was in type, and as soon as ready for delivery it would be laid on the table. ANATOMY ACT. Mr. BORTFIWICK rose to bring forward his motion for a Committee of Inquiry into the, operation of the Anatomy Act, and into the allegations contained in the petition of — Mr. Roberts, presented. on the 25th of March last. He should spare the time of the House 'and the sensibilities of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State, by abstaining from having the petition read at the table; and he should only recur to such portions of those allegations as ..he considered the House werecalled on by public principle to notice. The question was whether the Bill which the lion. Gen tleman had brought before the House, and which was now the law of the land, had effected those great objects at which it aimed, or whether it was required, as the numerous petitions laid ,on the table of the Howse showed, to be remodelled, for the purpose of really carrying out those objects ?"lie was of ()Onion that the Bill required careful remodelling: Its principle was to prevent the traffic in . dead bodies, but there was nothing in it to pre vent the traffic in parts of dead bodies, and according to the statements in the petitions, there were' numerous instances in which that 'traffic was still followed. He believed* that the Right IfonOurable Gentleman would state that such an allegation was not capable of proof. If such were the case, there was the greater reason for granting the Committee ? in Order to set the Matter at rest. Had he been in tbe.House in 1832 he should have paused a long time before he con sented to the passing of the Bill. He thought that the Bill created even greater evils than those which it was intended to remedy. The law was entitled to the ut most consideration of the House, because it affected . the interests of the humblest portion ofher Majesty's subjects. It was calculated . that about-600 bodies were now annually used for dissection in the different schools ; but if the antiseptic priicess disc,,vered by Mr. Roberts were intro duced, '2OO bodies would be sufficient. If he got the COmmittee he asked for, he would be able to prove that Mr. Roberts had been grossly ill used. Mr. Roberts had received certificates from ten of the most eminent professora of surgery, approving.of his plan, An HON. MEMBER here moved that the House be counted, and there only being 31 Members present, the House adjourned at Half-past Five till this day, Bell's Lift in London of Sunday, May 26, will give the most correct account of the four days' sport at Epsom, with a portrait of the winner of the Derby.

It falls to our lot to record an account of one of the most woeful and destructive fires that, perhaps, ever occurred in the county of Cumberland. About two o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, a most violent fire broke out at Naworth Castle, one of the seats of the Earl of Carlisle, when an ex press was immediately sent Off to Carlisle for the fire - engines and, other assistance. The engines were almost instantly sent off by the railway, and arrived at the scene of destruction about six o'clock. The progress and devastation of the fire in the meantime had proved so rapid and violent, that ow the arrival of the engines the roofs of the principal building had fallen in, with the exception of the large tower, which the uncontrollable element had not reached. The exertions of the firemen were directed to the preservation of this tower, which, after the most venturesome and arduous work, was at last with great difficulty saved. There are various rumours afloat as to the origin of the fire. Some say that it was from one of the chimney flues; other'- that paintings, nings years. it broke out in a room where had bee in n .n _n f nt and valuable fur ruins of n N b V yit e uthr u ee n , d b e lesy r o s tre ta ra n ane d st t ae h ri a lwy t , t ana h l e ld v da al es iab oty Le :d c u o . Ileeciet The smoking Naworth Castle are all now that remain of the baronial man sion of the great Barony of Gilsiand, situate in a verdant park, embosonted among lofty trees on the south margin of the river Irthing. This specimen of a feudal residence. con sisted of two lurty towers, connected by other masses of ma sonry, inclusing & quadrangular court. Up to the time of its destruction by fire, on Saturday last, it was kept up in the style in which it appeared when occupiedby Lord William, Howard, the "Belted Will " of " The Lay of the Last Min strel." Fortunate, however, it is for the sake of antiquity, that the tower which is saved is that which contains the private apartments and nirniture; his library, oratory, and armoury, which " convey a strong impression of the soli tary grandeur and inconveni en t magnificence of the border `feudal Lord." The private apartments communicate by secret passages with the dungeons; • - thus, whilst reading in his library, or engaged in his confessional, his eyes might still be - directed towards his prisoners and their guards, so that it may he truly said of Naworth Castle. " that sus picion was Its architect and fear its founder." Large concourses of people from Carlisle, Brampton, and the sur rounding districts, hastened to the spot to lend every assist ance in endeavouring to extinguish the fire, but without effect, except the ,preservation of " Belted Will's" tower. Much credit Is due to the firemen, and more especially to i onsw ereironmonger, of of th Carlisle, r m l o s mast ea, arduous th u o san er d tdraardiensg cintherir,ancwitcheirosi.arde T e s i n e:rt fi fire was distinctly seen on the Botcherby road at Carlisle, a distance of about ten miles, and being Saturday evening, thousands of people congregated there, to view the distant mighty flames, which illumined the whole canopy of the sky for miles around with a brightness and effect most wonderfully astonishing and sublime. The loss sustained by this fire cannot as yet be actually ascertained, but it will be enormous. No lives were lost. DESTRUCTIyE FIRE . NEAR FOLKMTONT-41 On Monday, shortly after 11 '.‘rie o'clock, much excitement was occasioned at FolkeSlAr: e by press, with intelligen• the arrival of a mounted ex that a fire of a most alarming charac ter had lust brP , - - • x r • ...en out in the extensive homestead occupied b y. 1 ../r• and known as Enbrook Farm. situated about 111 '.` 1 „ way between Folkestone and Cheriton. The inhabitants were immediately on the alert to render the necessary assist ance, and a pair of horses, belonging to Mr. Valyer, the postmaster of Sandgate, which were awaiting the arrival of a carriage at the railway station, having been attached to the fire-engine belonging to the parish of Folkestone, it was im mediately dispatced with an efficient body of men. On ar riving at the spot the fire was found to be raging furiously in the stack-yard belonging to the farm. Two wheat ricks were already destro_yed, and the flames were rapidly extending themselves. Before water could be procured in any sufficient quantity to be of service, several adjoining stacks were on fire ; and, as a strong north-easterly wind was blowing at the time, small hope was entertained of saving any portion from the general; wreck. The inhabitants of Sandgate and the adjoining villages soon - assembled in great numbers, attracted by the dense volumes of smoke which arose from the burning maps; and it is only right to say that each vied with the other in endeavouring, by the inost active exertions, to stay the progress of the fire. Unfortunately, however, from the dry and combustible nature of the stock and premises their efforts were of no avail, and within little more than half an hour of the outbreak a large barn full of wheat, all the ricks in the stack-yard, and various lesser out-buildings, Were one complete burning mass. So rapid was the progress of the flames, that all those at work on the farm where the fire broke out could do was to remove the horses and other live stock out of danger. All hope of saving the farm-buildings having ceased, the efforts of the workmen were directed to the residence of Mr. Taylor, which fortunately stands rather removed from the home stead. Notwithstanding this circumstance, however, it was several times in imminent danger, and escaped only by keeping the walls constantly cool. The fire in the stackyard and homestead continued to rage with undiminished violence, and only ceased when it had literally burnt itself out. When the last up-train left last night nothing remained but a heap of smouldering ruins. It is said that the accident originated from a spark supposed to have been blown from the locomotive engine of the eleven o'clock down-train into the stack-yard, and from a personal inspection of the spot, such an occurrence appears extremely probable. Under ordinary circumstances it appears sufficiently far removed from danger • but, yesterday the wind blew at some p er i o d s with such fearful violence near the coast, that it is impos sible to say where security might exist. It is said that the stoker was attending to the fire as the engine passed over the embankment, beneath which the farm is situate, and that a large number of red hot einders fell from the fire near the spot. If this really be the case, the accident is easily accounted fir. Mr. Taylor is a young man very highly respected, and, unfortunately, is stated to be un insured. THE RECENT. GALES. Since Saturday last the weather has been more like that generally prevailing in March and November than at the latter end of May. The effects of the north-easterly gales have been most severely felt at various pointi along the coast, and accounts from more distant quarters are looked for with the greatest anxiety. On Sunday the wind blew a perfect hurricane, and the shipping detained by the easterly gales in the Downs suffered much damage, many of them being driven from their anchorage out to sea,, and others cast , ashore. During the afternoon a schooner was observed by the Dover boat-men rounding the South Foreland in groat distress. She was evidently at the mercy of the waves, and attempts were made to render some assistance from the shore. The sea, however, ran so high that the efforts of the boatmen were entirely fruitless, and the vessel shortly after went down in deep water, when all hands perished. At an earlier pe ' riod of the day a large brig had driven ashore underthe cliffs eastward of Dover, -but, being lightened, she fortunately floated•off with the next tide. Another brig got ashore near the South Foreland Lighthouse, and has sustained much in 'ury. Yesterday morning a large barque, which had ridden out the gale of Sunday in the Dover roads, parted both anchors, and was driven out into the Channel, but, the wind shortly after moderating slightly, assistance was sent off to her, and she was brought to an anchorage again during the afternoon. Margate, Dover, and Folkestone harbours aro crowded with vessels driven in bymany stress of weather, i of them with loss of topmasts and spars, and . an g Bay yesterday afternoon there were no less than thirty-five vessels at anchor waiting more moderate weather to proceed up Channel. The steam communication with the Continent has been very materially interrupted by th e eleahenpn Saturday the vessels had considerable ditliu It v . t y getting across, and on Sunday the Charon Government mail-packet, bound for Calais, after beating about in the Channel for some hours, was compelled to give up all hope of making that port, and put into Boulogne, where first e r s hlanded her mails an d passengers. The Charon wasboat to leave Boulogne yesterday, and during her passage the sea rose so high that one of her passengers, who was seated on deck Rear the helmsman, was washed overboard when the vessel was about mid-channel. Fortunately the gentleman was a most expert swimmer, and. notwithstanding the buffeting- of the waves he kept himself afloat until the packet was put about and rope bad been thrown to him, which he grasped firmly hold of, and was then rescued fro m hi s perilous situation.- The Folkestone boat did,not go out on Sunday night, and her passengers remained at the South-Eastern Pavilion. The wind greatly moderat e d d ur i ng the latter part of yesterday . afternoon, and the B ou l ogne boat wart within sight of Folke stone when the seven o'clock traiu left., • ,ONGREVB llocKETs.--One of the most formidable engines of destruction which any vessel, 'particularly a steamer, can make use of, is the Congreve rocket, a most terrible weapon, when judiciously applied, especially where there are combustible materials to act upon. The very first rocket fired from the Nemesis was seen to enter the large junk , against which it was directed, near that of the admiral, and almost the instant afterwardsit blew up with a terrible explosion, launching into eternity every soul on board, and pouring forth its blaze like the mighty rush offirefrom a volcano. The instantaneous destruction of the huge body seemed appalling to both sides engaged. The smoke, the flamer and thunder of the explosion, with the broken frag ments falling round, and even portions of dissevered bodies scattering as they fell, Were enough to strike with awe, if not with fear ' 'the' stoutest heart that looked 'upon it.— i Voyage of the Nemesis. • CONCLUSION OF THE SALE OF THE LATE MR.

THE CASE OF JOHN L. BROWN. The following letter will give universal satisfaction, not only to the inhabitants of Edinburgh, but to those numerous parties over the country who took an interest in the case of John L. Brown, condemned originally to death for aiding in the escape of a slave, in South Caro lina, tnited States:— . " British Consulate, Charleston, April 26, 1844. " have the honour to acknowledge the receipt, by this morning's mail, of your letter of the 30th ult., trans , milting a copy-of resolutions adopted at a public meeting held in your city on the preceding day ; and 1 have the most lively gratification in being able to inform you that John L., Brown, the individual who was condemned to death at Winns borough, in this State, for aiding the escape of a female slave from her master's service, has been pardoned by his Excel lency the Governor of South Carolina, and released from con finement. " I understand that a letter, explanatory of the case, has recently been published by the Judge who presided on the trial; and if I can procure a copy of it, I s hall do myself the honour of forwarding it t o you by the first opportunit. " I am, &c. " WILLIA M OGILBY, y " Her Majesty's Consul for North and South Carolina. -" To John Urquhart, Esq., Acting Chief Magistrate of the city of Edinburgh." —Scotsman. - [ADVIIITIBEMENT.] - - THE SUGAR .QUESTI ON. iror The Sugar Bill is to be brought forward on Fridity, the 24th inst.., and I call on a ll M embers of 'the lipase to give the matter only one moment's reflection, and they will agree with the Chancellor, that it is an important question. The consumers should now have cheaper sugar, parti cularly es the revenue can afford the trial, and the re venue may benefit by the change, which would give us a large amount from the produce of countries which now give nothing. Why should not the poor man have his sugar for fourpence, instead of sixpence or sevenpence per pound? And the . sugars of all nations wo u ld b e requ i red—of a course, foreigner paying a higher duty than our own colonies. Indeed, our own colonies should only pay a nominal duty of Is. or 2s. per cwt., and not make a chief requisite of life the mode of obtaining so large an amount of revenue, for it is felt chiefly by the poor. But to the point. Lord John Russell has given notice of his amend ment on the question, which will not even be listened to. But I warrant him, that if he will re a d thi s, an d call to his aid all his mac hinery, he will carry his measure, and receive the support of every interest—colonist, foreigner, the trade, -shipowner, and, in fact, every trade. Let him give Immediate notice, and there is ample time for all to show if they do not take this view of the measure. lie cannot carry his present amendment—it injures too many interests, and will s carce ly b e not i ced. s When you wish to carry an important point, let every interest derive advantage from, the change—injure none, and you do away with opposition. I am practically experienced on the point, and never saw a better opening. Sugar reduced from sixpence to fourperice per pound for the poor man, will increase the consumption of Ireland and Scotland materially, where they scarcely see it now. Even the cattle may be fed on molasses at the duty I propose ; and as the ' consumption is so great in India and the islands pro ducing it, so will it be here, if they can get three pounds for one shilling, instead of two pounds. The adultera tion would be done away with, which is said to be (in the last price -current) 100 tons per week in London— thus injuring the article it is mixed with and also the revenue. Why is the consumption of sugar only the same now that it was fifteen years ago, and the popula tion 15 per cent. more ? Because the price is the same and adulteration going on to a great extent, and this question of duty always on the tapir. • The produce of the British possessions - this year will be 200,000 tons, which we should use with no change of duty, and thus the revenue, with all sweets, would be 5,500,0001. Next year the produce of India will be greater, and of Mauritius, owing to the import of hill coolies there. And why cramp our West India colonies and prohibit them being sent there. Demerara, Ja maica, and all our islands, would thrive if free emigre gration was allowed, and why prohibit it any more than from this country to all the world Appoint Govern meat Emigration Officers, as in this country, to license and inspect emigration ships, and the people would go into a land of comf or t, an d be brought s m many instances to Christianity ; itt any rate; would be more useful members of the community, and likely to improve. See the vast increase in all trades by such a measure. Why grant the boon to one colony, and not to all ? This would be the grand death-blow to slavery and the blare trade. I propose that Lord John Russell gives notice at once, and thus give timely notice to the country and his friends that the consumer be considered, as the revenue can afford the trial, and may gain instead of lose, if not in sugar, by the increased consumption of other articles. It is a grand trial, and may be the means of giving future Ministers the power of raising two or three millions of revenue with much ease.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LONDON Docts.-- Monday morning, about half-past twelve o'clock, an acci dent of a peculiarly frightful character happened in the East ern Basin of the London Dock, to a man named Thompson, belonging to the Sylph, a vessel trading to the West Indies, and which is now unloading at that quay. He was aloft doing something to the rigging, when, from some unex plained cause (being perfectly sober at the time), his foot slipped, and he fell from the main-topsail yard, a height of perhaps 30 feet, head-foremost on to the deck, striking, in his descent, against the handle of the winch used for hoisting out the sugar hogsheads, which the men had left hardly three minutes before. His skull was literally dashed to pieces by the fall; and the deck strewed with .his brains. When taken up he was quite dead, and presented a shocking spectacle, the face being smashed to a mummy, and the arms and ribs completely broken. The horribly-mangled remains were conveyed on a stretcher to the dead-house of St. Oeorge's-in-the-East, where they await a Coroner's inque s t. which will be held at the Wellington public-house, adjonint the church, this day. What renders the occurrence the mores lamentable is, that the poor man had rejoined his wife and. family only two days before, after returning safely fro m a voyage to the West Indies.
