and Gallant Officer near him (Mr. Corry) were members, ould not well be censured for its party bias. With re spect to the defence of the dockyards, to which the Noble Lord had alluded—by whom were the dockyards neglected ?—(Hear, hear.) Was this Government chargeable with it ? Why it was the present Govern ment that originated a plan for their defence. There da was no necessity for a Commission—they had had Commission already—and the subject had already under gone the fullest consideration from the highest autho rities in the country. He could assure the Noble Lord that the subject had not escaped the atten tion of the Government, and the result would be seen in the measures which they would propose in the course of the present session. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The censure of the Noble Lord on this head did not apply to the present Government. So much for the particular motion ; but the Noble Lord opposite had considered this a legitimate opportunity for making observations with respect to the foreign policy of the Government, and particularly regarding the right of search. He wished the Noble Lord would bring this matter to the test, and take the vote of the House of Commons on it. The Noble Lord recollected per fectly well the result of his motion relative to the Ashburton Treaty, or as he called it, " Capitu lation," and did not like even to make a motion for the production of papers, the House had on that occa sion shown so little sympathy with the Noble Lord. The treaty made by Lord Ashburton with the United States had keen entirely approved of by Parliament, and whose vote had declared it consistent with the honour and interests of England. The Noble Lord, he repeated, would never forget that unfortunate result of his attempt to depreciate the services of Lord Ashburton. The Noble Lord, fearful of encountering the opinion of the House by making a specific motion, had introduced the discussion on the navy estimates. The Noble Lord talked of concession, but at the same time admitted the propriety of conciliatory language, but he (Sir R. Peel) felt convinced that the Noble Lord had no reason to complain of any undue concession, and the use of tern perate language would not make them less firm and de. termined, though they were certainly anxious to pre serve the peace of Europe. If the Noble Lord objected to the conduct of England with respect to the affairs of France and Morocco, and France and Otaheite, let him bring forward a specific motion on the subject. Ile thought that the most had been made of those op portunities, and if concessions had been made, they had been made with the especial object of preserving the good understanding that had hitherto existed be tween the two countries, and surely it would not be conceived, that the peace between two such countries as these should be risked or destroyed for the sake of the protectorship of two small islands in the Pacific, 8,000 or 10,000 miles from the particular sphere of the French Government ; and he did not think that the good un derstanding which had subsisted between this country. and France shoura be destroyed on account of this differ ence occasioned by the island of Otaheite. With respect to the right of search, he (Sir R. Peel) could not say how soon that might be abolished, nor how far it might be modified, or indeed to what extent it might be inter fered with on the present occasion. The Noble Lord had referred to the effect of those votes upon the slave trade, but he would beg to remind the Noble Lord of the position in which this country and France was placed, with regard to the slave trade. But ha should, at the same time, have referred to the state of public feeling which had existed, in both England and France, with regard to this exceedingly delicate subject, and he (Sir R. Peel) fat assured that the conduct of both the trustees, the Duke de Broglie, and Lord Ashburton, would give full satisfaction to the country, and that it would tend to the promotion of thatcordiality between the two countries which he believed their decision was likely to occasion. —(Hear, hear.) The course which her Ma jesty's present Government had pursued was not one which they had voluntarily taken up, but which had been forced upon them by the conduct of their prede cessors. Up to the time that the present Government came into office there had been a supposition that the understanding between the two countries, England and France, had been both agreeable and permanent. But such was not the case, fur immediately on the fracas which arose out of the affair of Syria there had been a misunderstandings In 1837, 1838, and 1839, there was no diminution of this good understanding, but in 1840 there did occur a difference with respect to the right of search. This difference arose out of a simultaneous de sire to repress the slave trade, but there was a various impreseion as to the mode in which this right should be exercised, and if the Noble Lord was desirous of in quiring into this right he would refer to the act of the late Ministry and prove from their own desire to repress this trade, that the difference whatever it might be be tween the two countries was one which had been in duced by their own endeavours to suppress the slave trade. Was it right that if feel ings had grown up in either of the two coun tries which intimated that the mode adopted was more disagreeable than it would otherwise be, if other measures were adopted, that this country should refuse all assent to an alteration of the plan they had proposed, and determine not to consent to any more efficacious instrument for effecting their own object? With respect to other matters to which the Noble Lord had referred, and in which he seemed to assert that differences had arisen between this country and the United States, he must give the most unqualified denial to any such assertion. He (Sir R Peel) felt that conci liation was the true principle to be observed in the in tercourse of nations, but yet, at the same time, he con ceived that the honour and interest of no country could be rightly preserved, nor that the honour of any country could be consolidated, by any waiving of its rights and dignities. While thinking this, however, h e also thought that all energy should b e used in upholding the dignity of a country with energy and vigour, and, because he thought that this had been done in this coun try, he should resist the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL was astonished at the tone assumed by the Right Hon. Gentleman with respect to the obser vations of his Hon. Friend. He thought there was suffi cient reasons fur making an inquiry respecting the in crease of the naval force upon the coast of Africa, when there was an increase of the navy estimates de manded.—(Hear.) There might be reasons for this in crease of the estimates, but there were also other reasons for the observations of his Hon. Friend ; and it was necessary for the satisfaction not only of the House, but also of the country, that these questions should be ex amined. There was certainly very great excitement respecting the suppression of the slave trade. His Noble Friend (Lord Palmerston) bad stated that Lord Castle• reagh and the l)uke of Wellington had thought the right of search a point of the greatest importance. It had been written, signed, and ratiaed by them ; and was the House now to be told that it should be abandoned and yet Government proposed, at the same time, that the estimates for the navy should be increased in order to suppress the slave trade. Was it not under such circum stances excusable in his Noble Friend to say, " We do not object to this vote, but is it not fair, at least, that we should know the purpose for which this money is wanted —the object to which it is to be applied ere we grant it?" The Right Hon. Baronet, in reply, had taunted the Noble Lord with the course he had taken with respect to what was called the Ashburton treaty. lie did not think the Right Hon. Baronet had any reason to plume himself on the result of that treaty.—(Hear, hear.) The proper merits of that question were not to be lost sight of in the able speech of the Noble Lori. Why, what was the treaty in effect? His Noble Friend the Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs at that time had in fersued the abuse that the American Government had advanced certain claims, and they (the British Govern ment) had made their claims, which, not being acceded to, they gave the question up. The American Government said, if we accede to your propositions, shall you, in return, give us the navigation of, the river St. John's. Many persons might think that a great portion ( f the territory given up to the Ame ' ricans was scarcely to be considered either as a lose or gain ; but then they ought to consider the manner in which that territory was trans ferred ? Was it fair to the Madawaskwa villagers that they, if willing t o a bid e un d er t h e protect i on of her Britannic Majesty, should be transferred to. another country? The Americans had said, "We must have the whole of the right bank of the St. John's. We cannot allow the British to cross the river." The demands of America arose as she found them readily ac ceded to, and they obtained possession of a further terri tory which we granted to their claims. It was certainly his (Lord Jchn Russell's) opinion that in those treaties the interests of this country had not been sufficiently at tended to. This might be thought a partial opinion ; but it was one lie had always maintained, for when in office, in concurrence with his Noble Friend, he had in structed Lord Syslenham as to the negotiations with America; and he had also, in conjunction with the Noble Lord, "fi"eYed. to Lord Sy Benhame their approbation f or having broken o ff those negotiations. The Right Hon. Baronet had said that these were keep up a hostile matters to moderate e dictive feeling, and that a better and more consolidation and preservation tone ofpeace. He (Lord John would tend to the Russell) hoped that could no one accuse him of being insensible to the blessings of beste but h e a l so thoughtthat this was not exact l y th e peace. The language which they miradtecoonrsipderroccuornicnig. liatory other persons might call pusillanimous and weak, and the consideration that the Gov have gained more if they had s h h e o a w r n ) a Govern creased determination.—(Hear, time gave the Government the fullest credit for e same having consented to anything which they ream never con sidered injurious to the interest or derogatory y e oe Haeoulatewthhmatishnt. honour of their country. The Right lion. Baronet had asked his Nobie Friend to specify a case in which the Government had nut rated the honour of England suf ficiently high. He would mention one in which he thought the Government standard had been placed a great deal too low—he meant the case of Spain ; and he complained that in the transactions relative to that country they had not ascribed their submission to the power of France, but to a revolution of opinion in Spain itself. lle would not touch on the other questions as ho intended to bring them forward on a future night. De. Lushington, as far as lie was aware of his opinion, held that the right of search was one of the most effica cious means by which the country could put down the slave trade, and he believed that the formation of this Commission was solely owing to an excitement in France upon the subject, and that it was deemed expedient to give way to that excitement. He did not contend that the leading men in France laid any great stress upon it; hut still this, he thought, led to its formation. Ho was of opinion that, on su - ch a subject, it would have been better for the Government of this country to have at ;vA - ivEitmce, and tlirestly, treated with the Government of ranee, for le thought it too important to be ,-f i ,..:' . .-%,,• : , a t to the decision of two Commissioners. ).-14;: ( 3\71 • Right Hon.

With 1- 7 j VF:.., /4 ,;''' i pect to the vote before the House, he was glad the 1,1 11 r --_:_-_.\ L ''''' overnment had determined to increase the naval force , sof the co untry, and he therefore thought that su ffi cient il reason had been shown for the Committee acceding to the vote. There was, however, anot er subject upon which he wished to make one or two remarks.—(Hear.) He alluded to the employment of steamers for naval purposes. He did not desire to disturb the present power of the Board of Admiralty, with regard to the employment of steamers in a general point of view ; but with regard to their employ ment for carrying on a war, he thought it would be exceedingly useful to have a commission con sisting of scientific persons to inquire into and report upon this branch of the subject. At the same time he wished it to be understood that he had no de sire to disturb the present functions of the Board of Ad miralty, but he thought a report of a body of scientific gentlemen on the subject would assist, instead of embar rass, them. Upon those grounds he was inclined to support the vote. Captain PECHELL was sorry to interpose at that late hour, but it would be seen that he had given notice of an amendment to that vote, and he thought it would be his duty not to omit that opportunity of mentioning it. The case of a class of officers, who had a strong claim upon that House, bad been entrusted to him, but, somehow or other, discussions of a political tendency had prevented him from bringing it forward. He might be told that he could bring it forward upon any other rote ' but unless he could come to some under s ta n di ng with the Gallant Officer opposite, he should feel it his im perative duty to proceed with it at once. He had, how ever, great faith in the humanity and integrity of the Gallant Officer; and he trusted the Gallant Officer would suggest some remedy for the evils of which the parties for whom he pleaded complained.—(Hear, hear.) Sir G. COCKBURN suggested that the Gallant Officer might move his amendment upon the vote relating to wages being brought forward. And, upon the recommendation of Mr. HumE and Sir C. NAPIER, Captain PECHELL said he would adopt the course recommended by the Gallant Admiral. Sir CHARLES NAPIER took that opportunity of giving notice that upon the wages vote being proposed he would bring the condition of the masters before the Committee, and also the propriety of advancing seamen's wages.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HINDLEY was, on the whole, not opposed to the vote, but he protested against the principle which argued that it was necessary to augment the naval force of the country for preserving peace. The vote was then agreed to. The Chairman was ordered to report progress. The House then resumed, and the Chairman reported accordingly, and obtained leave to sit again. The Customs Duties Act, and the Public Museums Act, were severally read a second time. The House then adjourned at ten minutes past Twelve o'Clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The attendance included a considerable number of round betters, but so small a proportion of backers, that although many horses were touched upon, the investments in most cases were so insignificant, that we have some hesitation in making a quotation.

ADJOURNED GENERAL LICENS IN G MEETING FOR THE CITY. Yesterday the adjourned licensing meeting for the City of London was held at Guildhall, for the granting licenses to new houses. The Lord Mayor in the chair. Aldermen Sir John Pirie, Sir P. Lurie, Farncombe, Hooper, Challis, Hughes, and Moon. Several licenses were renewed to persons who had forfeited them by non attendance in proper time at the last Court, and they were admonished to be more careful in future. The following new licenses were then applied for:— For the White Bear, Bishopsgate street, re-opened-- granted. For the Dark House, Darkhouse-lane, Thames-street, for removal of the license to a house in Thames -street. Mr. Clarkson opposed it on behalf of the rector, church wardens, and inhabitants, on the ground that the Dark House was a night house for the accommodation of the fishermen coming up with the boats and persons at tending the market, and that the removal would create a great nuisance.—Application refused. For Grady's Coffee-house, 34, Btv:klersbury, second application.—Granted. For Careless's Coffee- house, Finch-lane.—Refused. For a new house the corner of New Farringdon-street —Refused, there being twenty-two licensed houses in the.immediate IMPOIITANT CASE.—By Ralph Fellowes, for a license to a new house, the corner of Bride-lane. The acplicant is also the occupier of the Crown, in Fleet street. The application was supported by the parochial au thorities of St. Bride's and several licensed victuallers. Sir PETER LAURIE said he had seen the house, and should support the application, as he considered it was much more to the public interest to have houses in a public place than up courts and alleys. Mr. CLARKSON said that the applicant had been in solvent three times within seven years, and had once been remanded for six months, and agqin for eight months. This being proved, Sir PETER LAURIE said, he should, under such cir cumstances, refuse his consent, and vote against the man, though not against the house. The original license to the Crown, which stands up a eourt„ was granted to the application, but the extension refused. DEATH OF TFIE EARL OF ROMNEY.—The Ear of Romney died on Saturday afternoon, at his Lordship's seat Mote, near Maidstone, in the 68th year of his age. On Thursday evening he was visited by a paralytic stroke, which, from its violence, left little hope of recovery. Dr. Hawkins was immediately sent for from town, and hastened with all dispatch to the relief of his noble patient ; but skill was unavailing ; the Noble Lord gradually sunk and expired, as stated, on Saturday afternoon. The Noble Earl is suc ceeded in his title and estates by Viscount Marsham (now Earl of Romney;, Member for West Kent. In politics the deceased was a moderate constitutional Whig, but of late years he rarely interfered with political matters. The pre sent Earl was elected a Member of the House of Commons for the western division of Kent, at the last election, on the Conservative interest. His Lordship married, in February, 1832, Lady Margaret Harriet Scott, sister of the Duke of Buccleuch, and has issue. THE BLACK EAGLE STEAM-VESSEL.—This fine vessel has been taken alongside the wharf wall of the basin at Woolwich dock. yard, and her leaks temporarily repaired, until she can be taken into one of the docks, which are all at present full. At the time of the accident, on Friday night, it was so dark that the description of vessel which caused the injury could not be correctly ascertained, some being of opinion that the vessel was a brig, and others that she was a ship of a large class, and the latter is the most probable supposition, owing to the height of her bows out of the o water, as s h e nearly ran over the Black Eagle, which had at n period water nearly knee-deep on the stern end of her , te e ck. The officerskn 'cers and crew of the Black Eagle have no o v i e i n a thel vessel or parties on board the ship which caused ttie injury the steam,e4li board her, as Th'alti t i t s in lie supposes, t, .to .ga on bard the ship was frustrated, as sad the attempt of one of the crew of back into the Black i . the rope by which he attempted to stance that the l i l i ie vi i i ii e only way he can account for falling It was a most fortunate circum not take place a few feet more forward ; the en and the parties on board been liable to sustain in jury,accide did net remain to ascer*e vessel ptptlent of the injury sus quired of them. On looking at tii n e herra irprisin g that the which caused the sinking, espe if any aid would be re that object tamed by the Black Eagle, it a • ei,o4nvincing ' officers and crew were able to keep cially in a dark night ; but their accomplZ and navigating her round to Woolwich, affo . r n a g a proof of their excellent knowledge of the coast a as seamen. Some idea may be formed of the force of ab ,, ili n 3 lision when it is stated th a t th e strong oak ribs of her ti fram e were completely broken th roug h , and the strong oak fraZO supporting the cross-beams between the side and chief cabin window were completely separated into two and driven in different directions. The beautiful mahogany panels and gold mouldings inside have been destroyed, and several planks of the floor of the principal cabin considerably sunk. The deck appears to have been put together in a remarkably strong manner, as it is not much displaced, the greatest in jury being where the ship had literally cut through the solid wood. It will take sometime to repair the damage sustained by the Black Eagle, and this is to be regretted, as the vessel was destined to have the honour of embarking her Majesty at the port where the royal yacht is stationed. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND YORK.-LINCOLN COUNTY MEETING. LINCOLN, SATURDAY.—On Friday, at noon, a public meeting was held here, in the Castle-yard, pursuant to a requisition addressed to the High Sheriff; to take into consideration the various railway schemes affecting the county of Lincoln. At twelve o'clock the gates of the Castle-yard were thrown open, and the crowd which thronged the Castle-hill rushed into the yard, spacious hustings being erected in front of the Court-house, formed of several viaggons with heavy timbers laid across. The excitement during the day was consider able. In the course of a few minutes Thomas Coltman, Esq., of Hagnaby Priory, the High Sheriff (with the Under-Sheriff, Henry Williams, Esq.), took the chair. On the hustings appeared Earl Fitzwilliarn, Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham, Lord Viscount Worsley, M.P., the Hon. William Ashley, the Hon. Alexander Leslie Melville, Sir John Trollope, Bart., M.P., Sir M. John Cholmeley, Bart., H. A. Christopher, Esq., M.P., Edward Heneage, Esq., M.P., General Johnson, and a number of the leading gentry of the county. The Cam bridge and Lincoln, with the Direct Northern advocates, arranged themselves on the right hand of the hustings; and the London and York on the left. Not fewer than ten thousand persons were present at the commence ment, and at least fifteen thousand towards the close of the proceedings. The requisition having been read over, the High Sheriff asked a candid and impartial hearing for all parties. General JOHNSON observed that he saw many persons present who had no connexion with the county, and he trusted that no strangers would be allowed to address the meeting.—(Cheers.) The HIGH SHERIFF sanctioned this arrangement. C. J. PACK, Esq., in proposing the first resolution, observed that at present Lincolnshire was without rail- ' ay communication to the metropolis, and to the manu facturing districts, and it often happened, as during the late winter, that they were greatly distressed for coal. During the last twelve months he had been diligently inquiring which would be the best and most useful line of railway communication for Lincolnshire, and he had come to the conclusion that that line which would con nect nearly all the market towns in the county must be the best. The report of the Board of Trade said that the London and York line would probably cost ten mil lions, but he was assured that it might and would be constructed for considerably less than eight. It was not as it regarded the south communication only, but the north and east, and the extensive grazing districts, that they ought to consider this subject. He concluded by reading the first resolution, which was to the effect, " That the meeting approved of the proposed London and York, as the best fur the interests of the county of Lincoln."—(Loud cries and uproar, mixed with cheers, " Bribery, bribery," " Half-a-crown a day," &c.) WESTON CRACROFT, Esq., in seconding th e reso l u ti on , said, that however adverse the_Board of Trade were to the London and York scheme, still they were compelled to admit that it was a grand and comprehensive scheme. (A Voice : A scheme to hire men, at two shillings a head, to hold up their hands for you.) This railway would connect this extensive agricultural county with the great manufacturing districts, and it was far more important to get a good market for their produce than merely connecting the county with London. The Earl of WINCHILSEA was loudly greeted on step ping forward, and some slight disapprobation was mani fested by the advocates of the Landon and York. In moving a resolution of a counter character to that they had just heard, he assured the meeting that it was with great regret he found himself opposed to so many gen tlemen with whom he was usually in the habit of acting in public matters, but no man felt more deeply than himself the high benefit that railway communication would confer on this county, not only connecting it with the metropolis, but in affording a scheme for all its productions being conveyed to the best markets. He had considered this great question entirely uninfluenced by motives of a private character ; he had no interest in either projected line ; he was no shareholder, and therefore his judgment could not be biassed by any con sideration of gain, and he sincer e ly believed, that the Cambridge and Lincolnshire would afford that desired object. He had been most anxious that a different line to the London and Birmingham should be made, affording a more direct com mun i ca ti on to t h e north ; and he had hitherto been favourable to the London and York line, as affording that communication, but since reading the report of the Board of Trade, he must confess that his views had changed, and he was convinced by that able document that the line by Cambridge was the best for the Eastern Counties ge nerally, and the most desirable for this county in par ticular, especially when it was considered that the gra dients would be the best of any line in England. It was not as it regarded Lincolnshire alone, but the country at large, that he thought this line should be constructed. It would be carried into effect at a much lower rate of cost, and, in the opinion of scientific men, would be made in one-half the time that the other line would. Then there was the new terminus, which was to be made in Farringdon-street ; it was the best for the agricultural interests, being nearest to Smithfield ; it was the most favourably situated for access to the bonding warehouses, to the Custom-house, the Bank, the Post-office, and for every other public office which concerned the interests of agriculture and of commerce. Ile fully coincided in the views taken by the Board of Trade in their report, as most sound and judicious, and therefore, he would move that this meeting do approve of the various railway projects affecting Lincolnshire, which were recommended by the Board of Trade in their report of the 20th of March. General JOHNSON said, that in seconding the motion, lie was quite as disinterested as the Noble Mover, neither project touching an acre of his land, nor had he shares in any railway whatever. If his own private conve nience were consulted, he should give the preference to the London and York, as it passed two miles nearer to his residence than the Cambridge and Lincoln ; but he w..s satisfied that the latter line, with its continuance by the Direct Northern to York, would be the best. He hoped every man would take the trouble to read the re port made by the Board of Trade, anti judge for himself; it might not be very palatable to some of those gentle. men on the other side, who recommended the London and York, but he defied them, with their utmost inge nuity, to prove that it was unfair or partial. He was no friend to monopoly. The London and Birming ham line was a great monopoly : and so would the London and York be if it ever were constructed. He had seen the resolutions of a meeting of the citi zens of Lincoln, where above a thousand of them had, on Wednesday evening, unanimously decided that the Cambridge and Lincoln was the best, and he hoped the country would come to the same decision. He was anxious for cheap travelling, for cheap coals, and for getting their corn to market cheap. Now, if one con cern laid out eight millions, and the other only five, in constructing a series of railways, it was quite clear that those expending the five millions would be best able to ' afford them cheap travelling, cheap coal, and to take their corn cheap. There was another consideration. The cheap line could be made in two years, whilst the other, if ever made at all, could not be made under eight years.—(" Oh, oh !") The London and Birmingham line professed to have everything finished in two years and a half, and at a cost of three millions and a half; but they were five years before ever they started a train, and had expended above seven millions. The same would be the case with the London and York at its southern ex- tretnity, if even it were begun. The terminus of the line from Cambridge to London would be within a quarter of a mile of Smithfield, whilst the other, at King's cross, would be two miles off, and that was of high im.. purtance to the agriculturists. If men would but look candidly into the matter, they would be convinced that the line by Cambridge would be the best for Lincoln shire, and he believed all the county thought so, except those personally interested to the contrary. He con cluded by seconding the amendment moved by the Noble Lord. E. BECKETT DENISON, Esq., M.P., at great length argued in favour of the London and York scheme, which h;said was the shortest by ten miles to York ; it would be constructed in its entirety in 237 miles, whilst the Board of Trade scheme was 359 miles. The correspond ing parts of the Direct Northern and Cambridge would cost 5,380,000!., whilst the. Lincoln and York line would h:‘ made for 4,720,000/. ; they would carry coals at id. per tun per mile, and the others would charge id. So f a r from the Farringdon Junction being made for 800,000!., he was assured it would cost above two millions. Mr. JOHN COUPLAND, of Lincoln, said he was one of a mercantile firm, which consumed as much coal as a dozen parishes, and they paid 15,0001. a year in freights. Cheap coals and carriage were important to them, and he was convinced that th Cambridge was that cheap line the county required. It would be constructed in two years, whilst it would take eight or ten years to make the London and York. Earl FITZWILLIAM again spoke in favour of the Cam bridge line, as the best and cheapest for the conveyance of the agricultural produce from the south of the county to London ; the " loop," as it was called, would not serve the interests of the middle of the county, which would be shut up from the benefits of railways as com pletely as the meeting was enclosed within the Castle walls. The question was put, and the show of hands was taken on either side a second time ; the numbers were so evenly balanced, that the High Sheriff had to call for a division. At length each party having divided, one to the north, and the other to the south, he decided that the majority was in favour of the London and York line. T. G. CORBETT, Esq., moved, and J. C. 11. ANDER soN, Ebq., seconded, a resolution in favour of the Grimsby and Gainsborough Railway, which was carried by a large majority. Sir MONTAOUE JOHN CHOLMELEY, Bart., amidst much tumult, moved a petition, which was seconded by T. GEE, Esq., cf Boston. On the show of hands, they were again so nearly equal that the High Sheriff was doubtful, but declared the motion cart ied. On the motion of Lord WoRSLEY, M.l'., seconded by It. A. CHRISTOPHER, Esq., M.P., thanks were voted to the High Sheriff, who briefly acknowledged the com pliment, and tho meeting broke up. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD. The scientific gentlemen appointed by the Admiralty to report upon the navigation of the Menai Straits, and the probable effect of the erection of a bridge at the Britannia Rock, met on Tuesday last, at the George Hotel, Menai-bridge. Sir John Rennie, Mr. Rendal, *ad Capt a i n Vid a l a pp eare d f or th e Ad m i ra lty ; C a pt a i n II "Tsotio and Mr. R. Stephenson, with Mr. Parker, solicitor, of London, for the Chester and Holyhead ci Rail way coulp- and' and Mr. Thomas H. Evans, Mayor Carno.rvon, Mr. R. A. Poole, solicitor to the trust, accompanied by Mr. Manley, collector of harbour dues, and Mr. Pool, jun., for the Car narvon harbo ur t rust. Mr. Poole, examined several a:asters of ve sse l s , and the Swilly pilots, to show that the navigation of the Straits were at present . very difficult and dangerous, 1%14 that, if an arched bridgo, according to a sketch produced,. were allowed to be built, the danger would be very considerably increased, not only by the contracted head-way, but also by the baffling winds and additional eddies w hich would be occa sioned. It was evident that Sir J. Ronnie, Capt. Vidal, and Mr. Rendal had made themselves perfectly ac quainted with all the local particulars ; and we have hopes that, as the result of their report to Government, everything which possibly can be, will bo done both to obviate the evils which would probably arise from the erection of the proposed railway bridge, and to lessen the dangers that now exist. From the evidence of Mr. James Wyatt, the agent of the Penrhyn Slate Quarry and Port ; Mr. Thomas Griffith, the harbour master, at Port Dinorwic ; Mr. Manley, the harbour dues collector, at Carnarvon, and the pilots, it was shown that mare than 2,000 vessels, carrying 100,000 tons freight, pass the Swillies annually. Mr. Wyatt stated that last month there were 2,307 persons employed in the Penrhyn Slate Works and Port. These and their families he averaged at 11,500 individuals. Last year 440 cargoes were carried westward from Port Penrhyn, amounting to 41,047 tons of slates. One vessel would per haps take three cargoes, and each vessel would average a cre.vof six persons. These and their families, added to the former number, would constitute a population conected with the Penrhyn Quarries alone, of about 15,000 parsons all of them interested in the safe and free navigation of the Menai Straits. The plan of the bridge produced was of two arches, supported in the centre by a pier of 130 feet, the arch springing at a height of 55 feat, and the centre of the arch 105 feet. The arches to be of cast iron, similar to Southwark bridge, over the Thames, in joints of from 0 feet to 10 feet each in length, 5 feet wide, and fastened toge ther by belts. Besides the Gentlemen already named, we noticed the fallowing gentlemen present : —Hon. Colonel Douglas Pennant, M.P., Hon. W. 0. Stanley, M.P., Mr. Bulkeley Hughes, M.P., Mr. Williams, of Bryn, Rev. James Williams, Dr. 0. .Roberts, and Mr. John Haslam.—Carnarvon Herald. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TUB EvILNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We have inserted elsewhere the views of a correspondent favourable to the proposed Maynooth grant ; and we have no intention of excluding from our columns any considerations which can fairly be urged in its favour. At the same time, we must still be of opinion that neither is the proposed mode of pro ceeding such as can be satisfactory to the public opinion of this country, nor its extent satis factory to those it is intended to satisfy. As to the proposed mode of proceeding, we should very much wish to be informed whether there is any pre cedent for a large and permanent public endowment, without reserving to the public any power of inspecting or superintending its application ? The Roman Ca tholic hierarchy may please to assert its independence of any such jurisdiction, while it receives no public aid. But the preponderant sense of the nation is dis• tinctly adverse to every imperium in imperio—to every pretension, on the part of any communion, to borrow the secular arm, or aid, without admitting the secular authority. This was recently proved by the failure of the Scottish Non-Intrusionists in their appeal to the general opinion —so far as regarded their attempt to set themselves above the power of the civil courts. We are now told that the Irish Roman Catholic Churchmen distrust the civil authority so completely, that they will not take any grant at its hands, unless the application of that grant is to be wholly removed from its cognisance. Now these ecclesiastics may dis trust the State on party or general grounds. If they distrust Sir Robert Peel's party so thoroughly that his beaux yeux cannot win them to any other request than Jaques'—" I do desire we may be better strangers" —we can only say it is a pity the chief of such a party should undertake permanent endow ments, though compelled to concede them, without the slightest security for their right employment. If, again, they distrust Government simply as Government —simply because they claim that hierarchical indepen dence no country in Europe admits any longer, and no country in Europe has rejected more signally than our own—then Sir Robert Peel is sacrificing to his new born ardour of conciliation the whole moral conquest of the last three centuries—the e hole decisive distinction between the dark ages and modern times. Will it be said that the Maynooth system has proved, in all points, so unexceptionable as to warrant enlarging and stereo typing it, without any security for improvement, and requiting the most declared distrust with the most unconditional confidence ? Will this be said ? We shall wait to hear it said from the present official benches. We shall wait to hear it said by the former colleagues of the Eldons and Percevals. Our objections to the project are founded on no bigotry against Roman Catholics. We object to it be cause (as hitherto advised) it appears to us based on a false principle. It proposes to place public property beyond public control,—to bestow (pc) Santo) an inde pendent footing, at the public expense, on a body of men who refuse recognition to the authority which en dows them—who reject that control (which indeed it is not made worth their while to acknowledge, but) the acknowledgment of which every other Power in Europe exacts in return for patronage of any body of men en trusted with the disckarge of any public function. STANDARD.—We have copied from yesterday's Examiner an excellent article upon the subject of the trial, conviction, and punishment of the miscreant Tawell. We hope that the reasoning of this article will not be without its just influence upon the minds of all who may be called to act as judges or jurors upon the trial of similar cases. The Examiner has at least satisfied us that the murder of Sarah Hart '• was suggested by the monstrous acquittal of a party prose cuted not very long ago upon a charge in all respects similar•. Let us, however, protest against the Examiner's injustice to an amiable and able man, Mr. Fitzroy Kelly. Mr. Kelly's speech was a weak speech, be cause h's case would afford no better to an honest man—though a dishonest advocate might very easily have made a stronger case, and a more efficient speech. There have beets, we will not say that there are, men at the bar who could have at least raised a doubt, by sug gesting hypotheses, which, however, one instructed in the case must know to be false. It is, however, strange, as it may seem not improbable, that Mr. Kelly believed his client possibly innocent. The most acute minds are often the most apt to mislead themselves, and in the belief that his client might be innocent he would not resort to it line of defence suited only to a desperate case—if indeed such a man as Mr. Kelly could bring himself to the attempt to shield a criminal in a clear case of guilt. An honest lawyer will avail himself of every point of law in favour even of the worst offender ; he will put forward even, in the case of such an offender, all the truth that can seem to bear favourably on his case ; but he will not pervert the truth, or suggest what he knows to be false, even in the case of a man whom he believes to be innocent. An honest lawyer was, how• ever, the advocate for Tawell, and, therefore, Mr. Kelly's was a weak speech. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT—Kingston, March 29. (Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) DOE ON THE DEMISE OF NEWTON AND OTHERS V. littooxs.—This was an action for the purpose of ejecting the defendant from the possession of certain premises, situate in Stoney-Street, Southwark. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Willes were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Charnock fur the defend ant. . _ Mr. Sergeant SHER stated the case, and said the plain tiffs were compelled to adopt the present proceeding, to recover possession of certain property leased to them by the Bishop of Winchester, and which had been taken possession of by the defendant, or by a person named Cox, who acted under him, but neither of whom had any more right to it than the greatest stranger in Court. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that the lease was granted to the plaintiffs by the Bishop of Winchester in 1835, and they made use of the property fur some time, but it became unoccupied and remained so for some time, and at length a person named Cox obtained possession, and without the slightest right-or title whatever persisted in remaining there, and set up a title to the property. The present proceedings, therefore, became necessary to remove him. The lease granted to the plaintiff in 1835 was then put in and formally proved. Lord DENMAN—What have you to say, Mr. Char flock, on behalf of your client ? Mr. CuanNocK—Does your Lordship think that the lease is sufficient proof of the plaintiff's title ? Lard DENaraN—Certainly. Mr. CuanNocK—Thou, my Lord, I have nothing to say.—(A laugh.) Lord DEN3IAN to the jury —Well, gentlemen, the de fendant admits he has no title, and therefore, you will find for the plaintiff. Verdict accordingly. TOOVEY AND ANOTHER V. SWEENEY. Mr. Sergeant Shee was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant SH EE said, that this action arose out of a case of a similar character to the one just disposed of by the jury. The defendant without any right or tit!e had taken possession of a house of considerable value, and he could not be got rid of but by an action of eject ment, which was accordingly brought against him, and at once decided in favour of the plaintiff. The present action was to recover the sum of 251. incurred in that action, and also the amount of rent to which the de fendant was liable during the period he was in posses sion of the house. Mr. PETERSDORFF said he had no answer to the plain. tiff's case, but he wished the costs to be taxed. Serg( ant SUEZ said he had no objection. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff. (Before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) EVELYN V. WORSFOLD. This action was brought by the plaintiff, who is Lord of the Manor of West Cott, near Dorking, to try the liability of the defendant to pay a certain fine upon his coming in as on e o f t h e copyhol d ers o f t h e manor. Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Dawson were for the pla'ntitf. Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Peacock ap peared for the defendant. The ease was one of a purely technical character, and eventually a nominal verdict was taken by consent for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court upon certain points of law. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Hereford, March '2B. CROWN COURT. Joseph Yeomans, aged 23, was charged with having stolen, on the 20th instant, one wether sheep, of the value of IL, the property of Mr. Thomas Morris, Guilty, to be imprisoned twelve months. James Pritchard, aged 30, was charged with breaking into the dwelling -house of George Willim, for whom he worked, and stealing therefrom a quantity of bacon, bread, and cheese. Verdict, Guilty. The prisoner, being called up f ur j udgment, protested that he was in nocent. Imprisoned twelve months. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before the CWEF BARON.) FRETWELL V. BLISSETT, CLERK. This was au action brought by a land surveyor, re siding near Ensham, in Oxfordshire, to recover the\sum of 147/. 4s. for work and labour done for the derendant, the Rev. Mr. Blissett, residing at Lefton, on the banks of the Wye, his estate beinc , surrounded, as it were, by a perfect peninsula, formed by the windings of that river, To obviate this by alterations, cuttings, and improve ments, had long been the wish of the reverend defendant, but several obstacles prevented the accomplilinent of his design, a portion of the property to be cut through . belonging to the Cor:ewall family e state, th e h e i r of which, being a minor, was a ward in Chancery, but having at length obtained the necessary consent, the work was commenced, and the plaintiff was employed to superin tend and direct the operations, remaining at one time as long as 42 days at Lefton, and consequently being un able to attend his own affairs in Oxfordshire, where he has two large farms. The defendant pleaded that he never was indebted beyond the sum of 591., which he paid.into Court, and upon this issue was joined, the pre sent action being brought to recover the remaining items in dispute. It appeared that a portion of the work of the plaintiff had reference to the commutation and valuation of the defendant's tithes. Several letters were put in, and read, which had passed between the parties on the subject, one of which terminated thus—" bell going for church, and a glass of cold grog to-morrow ;" and another from the Rev. Mr. Blissett to plaintiff, concluded—" The old fool is gone down the river, God knows where, to look for two planks and a trestle, not worth a pound." The epistolary evidence having been adduced, the verbal testimony of several witnesses was then given, to the effect that the plaintiff was there from the 22d Sep tember, 1642, until the 23th November following, super intending the works and paying the men, giving his attendance all day, from six in the morning until the same hour in the evening. Mr. WHATELEY addressed the jury for the defendant, contending that the attendance of Mr. Fretwell was ren dered as a return fur kindness he had received from Mr. Blisett's family, and that nothing more than the amount paid into Court was due. Two witnesses, Messrs. Freer and Marsh, civil en gineers, were called on the part of the defence, who stated there was no necessity for the attendance of Mr. Fretwell. The brother of the defendant, Mr. Charles Blissett, a merchant of Bristol, deposed that on several occasions plaintiff told him that he should make no charge to his brother, out of kindness for what he had done for him, as he once got him out of difficulty, and he would not therefore leave Lelton until after the last barrow of earth was thrown on the works. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD having delivered a powerful speech in reply, on behalf of the plaintiff, his Lordship summed up, and the jury retired from the box. On their return into Court in about two hours, the foreman said eight of them were for the plaintiff and four for the defendant. The JUDGE —I wish the Counsel were here, perhaps they would agree to withdraw a juror. The Foreman—My, Lord, eight of us are of opinion Mr. Fretwell should have his wages and four the other way. Mr. SELFE here entered the Court, and said that in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd he did not know how to act. The plaintiff cared nothing about the costs, but he felt it was a just claim, and that his character was at stake. The JUDGE, emphatically—The defendant's is far more so. The plaintiff might have made a mistake, but the defendant cannot, and if he is unjustly defending this action he is doing that which no clergyman or gen tleman ought to do. The defendant, in person—l feel myself exactly in the position your Lordship has described. After some further consultation, the foreman said from the information my Lord has given, we are all agreed to find our verdict for the defendant. _ Verdict for the defendant entered accordingly. NORTHERN ClRCUlT. 7= Liverpool,March 29. CROWN COUR —(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Benjamin Anderson, 21, stood charged with an attempt to administer poison, namely, sugar of lead, to his wife, Sarah Anderson, and her two infant children, at Manchester. was hAeir.plrloosnecku,taionnd Mr. pcoonlidocukcteddefebnydedMtrh.eAprrmissotnreorn.g he observed, was of a very serious character, that of an and T T d he case was opened by Mr. ANDERSON. The charge, attempt to administer a certain deadly poison, known by the name of sugar of lead, to his own wife and children, by introducing it into the sugar which they were about to use for sweetening their tea. The prisoner, so far as his instructions went, had not been in the habit of act ing towards his wife with cruelty ; he was, however, when in liquor, cross and abusive. The prisoner fol lowed the trade of a millwright, and was in the employ of Messrs. Fairbairn, who carried on business in Canal street, Manchester. For some time previously to the 6th of January last, which was the day on which the occurrence took place, he had been drinking for several days, having only worked half a day since the previous Tuesday. About three in the afternoon he came home, and said he wanted some tea. His wife replied, " the tea will be ready presently," upon which the prisoner took the kettle off the fire, which at that time contained the water for tea, and after making use of some offensive expressions, turned his little boy and wife into the street, with the sugar basin in his hand, at which time, it is theyand locked perceived or. e him doing d 0 0n i ng lookingsomething thr a o t ug th h t e hie cu w pb in o d a o rd w , supposed, he was mingling the poison with the sugar. One of them went to the window, and he put his hand up to prevent them seeing. In a short time he came and unfastened the door and let them in. The little girl then came home, and prisoner's wife began to make the tea for herself and children, and sweetened it with the sugar from the cupboard. After the tea was sweetened she found it a very bad taste, in consequence of which it was thrown away. The tea was made a second time, and the sugar again used, but the same bad taste prevailed. Having some of the same quality of sugar in a piper, the prisoner's wife put it into some coffee which she then made, and found it quite palatable, and she and the children partook of it. The sugar which was in the basin had been used at breakfast the same morning. A portion of the bad sugar which had been preserved in a small bottle, was handed over to Mr. Davis, chemist, of Manchester, which, on being examined by him, was found to con maintain sugar of lead. The Learned Counsel argued that the conduct of the prisoner at the time of the occur rence showed he was aware of the consequences of such an atrocious act. The prisoner left the house about four o'clock, previously to the tea being made, and proceeded to a beer-house, where he stayed a short time, after which he got up suddenly and went to the door, observ ing to the person who kept the house, " You will hear of a row." He afterwards returned home very drunk, and said, "If there was meal in the house he would do it again." Shortly after this the police having become acquainted with the circumstances went to the house and took the prisoner in charge. At that time he was asleep, and on his being awoke he said " They are not still yet, but they soon shall be." At that time no charge had been made. Afterwards, on being taken to the police offic; and told what the charge was a g ainst him, h e sa id , "It is a bail job it has nof been done." The police twice told him he was accused of putting sugar of lead in the sugar basin, and he replied, " I suppose you wish to know where I got it, but I shall not tell you." About three days before, namely, the Friday, the prisoner, bought an ounce of sugar of lead, at a chemist's in Man chester. Some of the same kind of poison was found in some meal which had been got into the house for the use of the family. The Learned Counsel concluded by observing that he should call witnesses to bear out the statements he had made, and leave the result in the hands of the jury. _ _ A great number of witnesses were called, the principal being the wife and child of the prisoner. Mr. John Davis, chemist, of Manchester, depofled to testing the portion of sugar sent to him, and found it contained a quantity of sugar of lead. lie declined giv ing an opinion as to its operation on the human system, and the quantity required to produce death. Mr. Walker Golland, surgeon, had examined the con tents of the basin, but was of opinion that there was not sufficient to cause death, if taken all at once or in small quantities. Mr. J. POLLOCK, in defence, called the att en ti on o f the Bench to the Act un d er hich indictments for of fences of that nature were laid, the worth of which were, " shall administer poison or any other destructive thing." It had been shown by the evidence of the medical men that the whole quantity of sugar of lead found in the sugar basin would not be sufficient to produce death, either in one dose or repeated doses, and consequently could not be a destructive thing, although it was un doubtedly obnoxious. The charge, therefore, he held, would fall to the ground. His LORDSHIP said, that if the verdict went against the prisoner, he should reserve the point for the consi deration of the twelve Judges. Mr. POLLOCK then addressed the jury upon the evi dence at considerable length ; and his Lordship having summed up, the jury, after a short consultation, re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. The trial lasted eleven hours. John Burgess, aged 22, was indicted for the offence of manslaughter in killing William Swindles, at Staley bridge, on the 20th of Februury. Mr. Brandt appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wilkins for the prisoner. The deceased was a lad who worked at a mill in Sta leybridge, and on the evening of the day in question he was leaving the mill along with some other lads there, when they saw the prisoner at the bar sitting against the gates of the mill. He appeared to be asleep or intoxi cated. One of the lads kicked his clog, and desired him to get up, and another shook him. He then rose up and ran after the deceased into another shed. The deceased then fell; but what it was that caused him to fall, could not, it appeared, be at all explained. One of the wit nesses, however, said that the prisoner kicked him on the heel ; but another said that he fell from catching the kerb-stone with his toe; and a third thought that he fell down without either of those causes. He uttered a cry as he fell, and while he lay on the ground it would appear that he had been struck by the prisoner, either with his fists or his feet, if not with both. This also seemed quite uncertain. After the fall the deceased was not observed to stir at all, until the prisoner left him. Ile then stretched out his arms, as if in a convulsive state, and remained on the ground for some minutes, till the prisoner himself began to be alarmed, and raised him. Finding that there were no signs of life, the prisoner asked the people standing by to fetch him some water, and said he thought the lad was iu a fit ; but it was soon ascertained that he was dead. He was examined by two medical men, who could not tecount for the death, and who found no marks of violence, while another medical man stated that the brain was in such a state that he could say the lad had not died of apoplexy. There was no effusion, and no symptoms of disease about the body. It was said, however, that there might have been blows on the abdomen without their being perceptible, and that these might have caused a shock to the nervous system sufficient to occasion death. Mr. Pearson, who first examined the body, was of opinion that the lad's death was to be attributed to apoplexy, and considered that such might have been the case without any effusion. Verjict—G why of a common assault. Sentence—To be imprisoned for one month. THE TRADES' DELEGATES CONFERENCE.

FALL OF A BUILDING AT POL LOKSHAWS-FIVE LIVES LOST. Early yesterday (Friday) Morning, a most melancholy accident occurred at Pollokshaws, distant about three miles from Glasgow, which has created a great sensation, and thrown the inhabitants of that dis trict into deep and heartfelt mourning. Some time ago it was proposed by the Old Trades' Society of Pollokshaws to erect a building in the Main street of that town. This building was commenced, and on Thursday last the maso work of it was finished, and the scaffolding remov e d the same even ing;. Close to this building stood a thatch house of one story high, occupied by Poor but respectable tenants. The occupants of this humble dwelling, seven in number, had, it appears, considerable doubts as to the stability of the building erecting adjacent to them, and, during the course of this week, remained two nights in a lodging-house, being afraid that the building would fall upon them. On Thursday even ing, while the wind was blowing a hurricane, the inmates entered their habitation, still under the same fears. They congregated themselve s around the hearth, and sat there listening to the storm raging without, until far in the morning. Thinking, then, their fears were groundless, and danger dis tant, they all retired to rest ; but, as stated to us, they were not ten minutes stretched upon their beds, to close their eyes in sleep, than down fell upwards of twenty feet of the gable and chimney-stack, which was very high, of the building, crushing beneath it the hu m m e domicile of these unfortunate beings. The crash was heard in an adjoining house, the inmates of which instantly rose and procured every assistance in their powe r to have the sufferers removed from the awful situa. tion in which they were placed. Two of the seven were speedily got out, and found to be little injured, viz„ Mrs. Rann, or Catherine Muter, a young widow, and her child, a little girl about ten years of age. It required upwards of two hours, however, of great exertion, before the remainder of the sufferers could be reached. After being dis covered, they were all found to be lying in their beds, with life totally extinct. One of the five, named Betty Brown, a young woman aged nineteen years, had her head mangled in a most dreadful man ner ; and a little boy named William Rann, about twelve years of age, was severely injured about the breast, having several bones broken there. The other three, who thus met with an untimely and melancholy end, were John Muter, an old man, aged 79 years, and his wife, who was upwards of 75, along with Catherine Rann, daughter of the young widow, Mrs. Rann, above alluded to. All of these unfortunate suf ferers were much respected in Pollokshaws, particularly the old man and his wife.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

CORN EXCHANGE, Dating the past week large arrivals of English Wheat coastwise as well as by land-carriage, and samples were re' ported for our market, while of Irish Oats upwards of 55,0 4 quarters came to hand. Of other kinds of grain the receipt] were by no means extensive. From Essex and Lincolnshire a fair average quantity of Wheat came to hand, hence the ,N stands were rather heavily filled with parcels of both Kea and White. Notwithstanding we had a large number 01 , buyers in attendance, the demand for all descriptions 0 ' Wheat of home growth was extremely dull, at a,decline iU the currencies paid on Monday last, of Is per quarter, and a large quantity was left unsold at the close of businetto• The accounts which have leached us this morning+ from various parts of the country, relative to the P . pearance of the wheat plants, are very satisfactory . The show of free Foreign Wheat was on the increase; hence the trade for that article was much depressed, and previou s rates were with difficulty maintained. Bonded Grain alnlo 4 t nominal in value. Of Barley, the supply was rather limited , yet the demand for all except the best Malting parcels, which were quite as dear, was in a very sluggish state, at last wee o figui es. Superfine Malt supported previous rates. In other kinds next to nothing was doing. The supply of Oats being unusually large, that article was a mere drug, and quite l e per quarter lower than on Monday last. Beans and resto ware in slow inquiry, at unaltered currencies. The Floor trade was again dull. Most kinds of Seeds were in sluggis h request, at about stationary prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with those of several previous weeks, the int" ports of live stock for our markets, since Monday last, hs ve been somewhat limited, they not having exceeded 37 ox en and 12 cows, all from Holland. The number on sale con sisted of only 15 oxen and cows, but the whole of them wer e of full average quality ; indeed, we may observe, tbil scarcely any of them were out of condition. The deman d for them ruled steady, at prices varying from 14110 s to 1 ' lOs per head, at which figures the whole found buyers, The supply of Beasts from our own grazing counties was less, 11 nearly 300, than that exhibited on this day se'nnight, and we are happy to observe that that description of stock was les s afflicted with the so-long-complained-of epidemic than vir re ' the case on that day. Still, several losses have again oc curred on the roads. On the whole, there was a slight lor provement in the demand for the prirnest Scots and Howe:, breds, which sold at from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs ; but 3 ° other kinds were extremely inactive, at barely late rates, while a general clearance was not effected. The bullor lt droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshir e ' were composed of 1,800 Scots and Homebreds. From th e northern grazing districts we received about 200 short horns ; from the western and midland counties, 400 Deve ,o l Runts, Herefords, &c. ; from other parts of England, 2,10 0 ' various kinds ; and, from Scotland, 110 horned and polled' 84:00, The numbers of Sheep were somewhat on the increase, O r' titularly those out of the wool. Prime Old Downs mostly sold at previous currencies ; but all other kinds had a cloW" ward tendency. A large portion of the Bents and Leicestel were in demand. From the Isle of Wight were received 13 Lambs per railway ; while the receipts from Essex, Ken t Hampshire, and other quarters were seasonably go°` j The Lamb trade was rather inactive at Friday's reduc e .' currencies. The supply of Calves was small, yet the Ve r trade ruled heavy, at a decline of from 2d to 4d per 8 lb. last Monday's figures. The Pork trade was very dull, an the prices were 2d per 8 lb lower.
