Potter), Mr. Thomas Bright (brother of the Hon. Member for Durham), Mr. Scholefied, of Rochdale; and ow first movement was to the beautiful vale of Todmorden, or the "Happy Valley" as it has been called. We proceeded by the Manchester and Leeds Railway; and the journey, which is little more than twenty miles, was accomplished in as hour. Mr. Brown was received by a host of friends here, in eluding the following eminent manufacturers :—Wm. Halli w ell, Esq.; Abraham Ormerod, Esq. ; Royston Oliver, Esq.; John Veevers, Esq. ; Greenwood Stones, Esq.; William Bar ker;,Esq. ; W. Ormerod, Esq. ; Peter Ormerod, Esq.; John Greenwood, Esq. ; James Greenwood, Esq. ; John Earnshaw, Esq. (Bacup) ;.'William Ch am b ers , E sq . ; Ch ar l es Ch am b ers , -Esq. ;. Robert Howarth, Esq. (Bacup) ; Robert Greenwood, Esq. ;. William Fielden, Esq. (Clough); .and James Fielder ? Esq., brother of the Hon. Member for Oldham. lam told that. Peregrine Edward Townely, Esq.,- father of the late candidate for the representation of the division (Charles Townely, Esq.), had been here till within a few minutes of our arrival, intending to introduce Mr: Brown to the elec tors,. but the train being behind its time, lie was compelled to leave before it came up. Mr. Brown, on his arrival, at once proceeded to address the large assemblage of people (between -3,000 and 4,000), and was received with most enthusiastic - cheering: Mr. W. Halliwell occupied the chair, and after Mr. Brown.had finished his address,. a list of not less than twenty questions were put to him by a Chartist, and most of Ahem answered apparently to the satisfaction of the meeting. Mr. Cobden followed in one of his most telling speeches, after whiCh a resolution was put, to the effect that Mr. Brown was a fit and proper person to represent the southern division of Lancashire,and carried by a large majority. There are from 170 to 180 voters at Todmorden, and out of these the free traders calculate on a majority of at least 100 1 After the meeting, they adjourned to the hotel. The next place in the route was Rochdale, and as Mr. Brown entered his carriage, the whole neighbourhood seemed to have sent forth its entire population to greet him, and he left umidst 'the cheers of more than 6,000 people. The dislance from Todmorden to Rochdale by the turnpike is „about ten miles, and with the aid of four good horses the first half of this road, which passes through one of the most romantic and picturesque vales in England, was performed in little more than twenty minutes. The journey forward from this point, however, was much slower. 'Parties of gentle men on horseback, and groups of carriages were .in waiting 'at the junction of the different roads with that along which the route lay, and as we neared the town of Rochdale still more, a procession on foot, with bands of music, and colours flying, joined, so that considerable time was consumed. Mr. Brown entered Rochdale about one o'clock. At this time - tteii - Were in the procession not less than one hundred and fifty gentlemen. on horseback, a string of open carriages ,reaching a third of a mile, and there could not be, less than ' from 15,000 to 20,000 people on foot, who greeted the candi date with deafening cheers, until he reached a plot of ground called the Butts, - behind Tweedale's Hotel, Rochdale. Hero . the hustings had been prepared, and Mr. Brown was formally introduced to the electors by John Fenton, Esq., late Mem lier for the borough. The chair was taken by Mr. Fenton, tied Mr. Brown at once proceeded to deliver his sentiments. Ho was afterwards interrogated by some of the extreme Radicals ; arid though not coining exactly up to their "mark" in all his answers, he went through his facings with a success equal to that which had attended his catechising at Todmorden, and was loudly cheered. Mr. LIVESEY, the chief nuestioner, said they had put the same questions to Mr. Brown as they had a few' days before to Mr. Entwisle ; and though Mr. Brown did not go so far as he could e ish, there was a degree of toleration about his sentiments much more deserving of their applause than had been -displayed by the Conservative candidate. Mr. COBDEN was called for afterwards, and was received with great cheering. lie said Mr. Brown did not come up to his point on many questions; but he was a free trader, and he believed him to be an honest free trader. This was a free trade contest; and as the result of the contest went in favar of Entwisle or Brown, so would the rest of the coun try set, the people of Lancashire to be free traders or mono polists.—(Loud cheers.) The .Chartists, who had come for ward here, had said first that free trade was humbug, and then they said, " Give us the Charter, and we'll repeal the corn-laws and all other monopolies." But how could they with any honesty call upon him to support the Charter, in the . .hopes of getting free trade through it, when the Chartists professed to be against free trade?—(Cheers.) A resolution, pledging the meeting to support the free trade candidate, was carried unanimously, and . amidst im- Mense cheering. A cold collation had been prepared at Tweedale's 1 1 end to this the candidate and his friends were invited, im mediately on the termination of the meeting. The chair was taken by John Fenton, Esq. (magistrate of the county), the vice-chair by William Chadwick, Esq. (magistrate of the county); and. the following gentlemen were also among those who took seats at the table : [leery Kensall; Esq. (county magistrate), Robert Schofield, Esq., James Schofield, Esq., James Gibson, Esq„ Thomas Turner, Esq„ James Chadwick, Esq., George Ashworth Esq. (county magistrate); Robert Heape, Esq., Robert Taylor Heape, Esq., Thomas Bright, Esq., James Schofield, jun., Esq., Benjamin Schofield, Esq., Robert Pagan, Esq., ,Robert Leach Tweedale, Esq., James Leach, Esq., Robert Tweedale, Esq., R. Kelsall, Esq., James Hoyle, Esq., John Hoyle, Esq., James Hoyle, )un. Lsq., Thomas Hoyle, Esq., James Holt, Esq., Tomas Booth, Esq., Thomas Holland, Esq., W. 'Holt, Esq., John Ashworth, Esq., Thomas Ashworth, Esq., Andrew Steward, Esq., and James Howard, Esq. Refreshments hav ing been partaken of, the health of the candidate was given and responded to with enthusiasm. Rochdale has 1,465 voters on the list (the district of which it is the polling place), and here, in 1837, the Tories polled 510 votes, and the Liberals 509 ; on this occasion there will be a great majority against the Tories. Oldham was the next place of meeting. The free trade candidate left Rochdale as he entered, accompanied by an immense procession, the greater part of which were left be hind at the outskirts of the town, but the horsemen and car riages went on to Oldham, a distance of nearly six milth About midway between the two towns the escort was in creased to nearly 500 horsemen and about fifty open carriages ; and this splendid cavalcade entered Oldham about four o'clock, where it was received by a con course of people lining both sides of the road, amounting to• many thousands, and extending nearly two miles. A. meeting in the spacious Town-hall of this borough was awaiting the arrival of Mr. Brown, and by this meeting, which was densely crowded, he was roceived with loud plaudits. The chair was taken by Horatio Nelson, Esq., (county magistrate) ; and amongst the principal gentlemen present were—Jonathan Mellor, Esq., (county magistrate); Elijah Hibberts, Esq., (magistrate of the county); Josiah Ratcliffe, Esq. ; John Platt, Esq. ; Joseph Platt, Esq. ; John Lees, Esq. ; Samuel Lees, Esq. ; Jesse Ainsworth, Esq, ; Esau Lees, Esq. ; Job Lees, Esq. ; Thomas Robinson, Esq. ; J. Cheetham, Esq. ' • Johathan Hague, --Esq. ; J. Scholes Hague, Esq.—[This list of gentlemen includes none of the escort who accompanied Mr. Brown into the town on horseback and in carriages, these gentlemen being shut out by the meeting having previously assembled.] The candi date addressed the meeting for about half an hour, after which some questions were put, and though the latter were not of much interest, both his answers and speech served to create adeeidedly favourable impression. His sentiments on free trade were received with unanimous and enthusiastic ap plause. After Mr. Cobden had addressed the audience the usual resolution of fitness, &c., was passed, and the meeting adjourned. The party left for Ashton about a quarter to six o'clock, where another meeting had been called to receive the free 'trade candidate. The distance is about four miles, and Mr. Brown was escorted the whole distance by a large body of gentlemen on horseback, who had come over on purpose from Ashton. There were also about a dozen open carriages in the escort here. Almost the whole line of road was lined by people who cheered the party . as it passed. A crowded meeting had already assembled in the Town-hall when' they arrived, and the proceedings were at once commenced, not withstanding loud cries for an adjournment to the open air. Among the principal freeholders present were—John Meet ham, Esq. (county magistrate) ; John Whittaker, Esq.; William Bayley, Esq. ; James Lord, Esq. (county magis trate) ; Samuel Robinson, Esq. ; Oldham Whittaker, Esq. ; Ralph Kershaw, Esq. ; T. B. Potter, Esq. ; Henry Bavley, Esq. ; Nathan Lees, Esq. ; 'George Higginbottom, Esc!. ; Nathaniel Buckley, Esq. (county magistrate) E ; Watkins Lees - , Esq. ; J. H.

Peacock, Esq. ; James Dean, Esq. • Henry tees, Esq. ;' Edward Davies, Esq. ; Samuel Peacock; Esq. ; John Woolley, Esq. ; and Dr. Strange. John Cheetham, Esq., was called to the chair, and intro duced Mr. Brown, who spoke for .about forty minutes and was loudly cheered. Mr. Cobden followed, and the usual vote, pledging the meeting to support the free trade candi date, was carried unanimously. Mr. Brown and his friends returned to Manchester at a late hour; and he is to address a meeting of freeholders' here to-morrow. Mr. Entwisle, the Conservative candidate, has been at Bury and Bolton to-day, where, the spirit manifested on his behalf was very tame, and the proceedings of little interest. TILE DESTRUCTION of NAWO TH CASTLE. • i T ° ll d b i e n au o ti u f r ul co e ni tis in tle ni i; cat lf io rO n " of A S l a '' t M ur A da Y y 2° ar .-- e ai'llhceofnaticrttsnmede.nt a ruin, and all its relics of antiquity are destroyed. • By the untiring exertions of Mr. Ramshay, the Earl of Carlisle's steward, and some of the principal tenantry in the vicinity, the family papers and mtmimente were rescued, and some unimportant parts of the furniture are preserved, but from its extreme antiquity the greater part • of it could not bear removal, and what the fire spared has been hope lessly damaged. The books, furniture, &c., in lord William Howard's apartments were thrown from the window, and of course destroyed ; but the apartments themselves have escaped, although the lower part of the tower is much burnt. The lire, it appears, was first discovered about _half-past three o'clock, and not at noon, as before stated, by a son of Mr. Orridge, the governor of C ar li s l e gaol, who happened accidentally to be present, and it was owing to his presence of mind that assistance was procured in time to save any of the property. There were none but women in the Castle when the fire was discovered, and the young gentleman ran not less than two miles to Kirkhaus, where there are some collieries belongi ng t o t h e E arl of Carlisle, to procure as sistance, and also dispatched messengers to Carlisle and Brampton. The fire is supposed to have originated in the Porter's • lodge, in consequence of the flues being out of order or too much intersected with wood ; and although there was an impression at first that it was the act of an incendiary, this is certainly not the impression now. The Castle is said to have been insured to the amount of 10,0001., and it is gratifying to be able to add that there was neither life nor limb endangered by the fire, although there were thousands present. .• LORD TDANEIL'S Fox.—The late Earl of Thanet was in the habit of removing every year, with his hunters and hounds, from Ilotlitield; near Ashford, in Kent, to an other seat he had iu Westmoreland. A short time previous to one of these removals, a fox had been run to eart h near Ilothfield; and, upon being dug out, he proved to be so ex traordinary large and line a one, that Lord Thanet directed into be convoyed to Westmoreland.. In the course of the next season a fox was run to earth again_ at llothfield ; .and, upon . being dug out, the huntsmao, whippers-in, and the , eartli 7 stoppers,, all declared that it was the same fox which had been taken into Westmoreland,. as. it had an unusually Use. white blaze on its forehead. Lord :Mallet was exceed krigly_epergetic in his expressions of disbelief .0f the state ment. of his people, but they persisted in,their assertiors; and,: having ear-marked the fox, he was again takery into place, which. proved. to b WPstipereland, and turned loose in the neighbourhood of Appleby Castle.

Tin meeting was an extremely thin one, confined solely to those peculiarly interested in horse racing. The stakes run for were of small value, and void of excitement, atd the betting on them scarcely worth recording. A favourable change in the weather was perceptible in tht morning. The north wind, that blew so keenly for he last three or four days, was superseded by a mild sough-eastern breeze. A few early showers fell, and towards noon the clouds cleared away, and then succeeded a sunny and genial afternoon; the rain was barely sufficieit to lay the dust, and the course remained as hard as weed pavement. The great feature of the day was tie notice from the Police Commissioners that the gainblig booths were to be put down, and the persons connected with them, or playing in them, taken into custody. In consequence of this notice, so suddenly issued, and which, certainly, ought to have been promulgated before parties had taken and paid for the ground on which they were erected, the utmost dissatisfaction vas manifested by the members of the gambling fraternity. This deter. mination to put down gambling on race-courses will, according to some, considerably diminish racing funds, and, in conse quence, p l ates and prizes to be run for must decrease in number and value. There are others who think that its suppression will not eventually prove injurious to the true interests of the Turf, inasmuch as the parties who manage these funds never can have wished to see them augmented from such impure sources ; and there is a prevalent feeling among the right-minded that the cleaner the course is swept of all impurities, the more liberally will its sports be supported by the honour able patrons of horse-racing. The booths were closed yesterday, aad no play carried on in them, but it is re. ported, we are pretty, confident ss erroaeously, that they will be opened this day (Wednesday), and that resist ance on the part of those connected with them will be offered to the police. To prevent any foolish attempt of the sort, in addition to the police already on the ground, there will be sent to-day a reinforcement of 500 con stables. The arrangements on the course were the same as usual, with the exception of a new mode adopted for denominating the first and second horses. The telegraph declares the winning horse by exhibiting the figure placed before his name in the printed list, and the second horse by showing the letter similarly placed in the list. The method is simple, but the letters yes 'terday were too small to be visible at any reasonable dis tance. We hope this slight drawback to the immediate satisfying of the anxiety of the crowd will be remedied in the exciting contests for the Derbyand Oaks. The attendance of fashionables was so meagre, that a list of the names of the few present is not worth giving. They are, no doubt, reserving themselves for the Derby drama and the interesting afterpiece that will be played on Friday.

Without any material change they ran to the distance, where Chapow tried for the front, but swerved and was beaten. Nereus at the same time having had enough of it. Full sail then challenged, defeated the Flight colt at the end of the Stand, and won rather cleverly by half a length; Nereus half a length from the second, and nothing else up. Sir S. Spry's filly was weighed for and mounted by Crouch, but contrived to dislodge him immediately, and, after rolling over a complete summerset, broke away up the course ; she cleared hedges and ditches in tolerable style, but ultimately fell into one, and was se cured.

In our paper of Monday last we announced that a protest had been entered against Running Rein, on the ground that he is not the horse described in the nomi nation ; the objectors were Lord Glasgow, Lord G. Bentinck, Mr. Bowes, Mr. Ford, Mr. Cookes, Mr. Crock ford, and John Scott. On Monday Lord Maidstone en tered a protest against him and Leander, and it was fully expected that both cases would be gone into on their merits yesterday morning. Such, however, was not the fact; only the parties connected with the two horses were called upon, and sufficient evi dence adduced by them to warrant the Stewards to permit them to start. Should either of them win, the stakes will be withheld, and the stewards will be prepared to hear evidence on both sides. The objectors are anxious that Running Rein should be examined by a respectable and competent veterinary surgeon, to be selected by the Stewards, and they are willing that every horse they may start for either Derby or Oaks should be submitted to a similar test. Of betting, we never heard so little on the eve of a great race ; we can only state, that. Ratan retained a slight call of the Ugly Buck, and that Running Reis, on its being made public that he would be allowed to start, sprung to 12 to 1. The general market prices at the close of the racing, were as under :- 9 to 4 agst Ratan—taken. , 20 to 1 agst lonian. sto 2 agst Ugly Buck —t. 25 to 1 agst Qui Tam. 12 to 1 agst Orlando —t. 20 to 1 agst Akbar—taken. 16 to 1 agst Bay Momus— 10 to 1 agst Loadstone—t.

The Assembly took up a petition and complaint from Dr. Ferrie against a decision of the Presbytery of St. Andrews. The petition was to the effect that at a meet ing of the Presbytery, held on Monday last, it proceeded to the consideration of a libel against Sir David Brew ster, and found the same relevant. Against this decision Dr. Ferrie entered his dissent and complaint, and ap pealed to the Assembly ; but as the Meeting of the Assembly was so near, there was no time to have the papers prepared, and the appellant was compelled to come before the court without having a copy of the libel or the other documents to lay on the table. - Dr. FERRI.E stated that what he thought ought to be done was this : that the Assembly should direct the Presbytery Clerk to send up the libel, and the accom panying papers, by Thursday next. There was no time for extracts, seeing the libel itself occupied from forty to fifty pages. Dr. HALDANE and Mr. MERSER, who appeared for the Presbytery, stated that they had no objections whatever to the papers being ordered ; hut they contended that copies, not the orginal . papers, should be brought up, in case of accident. It might become a serious matter, for example, if the libel were lost. _ PAraox—His Royal Highnesss PRINCE ALBERT. PRESIDENT—The Right Hon. the EARL of DEVON: BRITISH " AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.

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 one half the children born are cut off before attaining'seven years of age, and the fruitful source of this mi 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 Infantinc Health, in this critical state, "Ching s Worm-Destroying Lozenges" have long been known and esteemed; mild and safe in their operation, suited to every stage of this period of life, and infallible in their effect, their excellence can be gratefully testified to many fond and anxious mothers who have successfhlly had recourse to them. As an Opening Medicine in Spring and Summer, for Adults as well as for Children, and for foulness of the Stomach and Bowels, and Convulsions, although Worms may not exist, it is allowed to be superior to every other. CHING'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZENGES are peculiarly pdapted and recommended for Exportation to the East and West Indies and warm climates generally, as their virtue remains unina. paired by time.

FIRE AT BRADFIELD.—On Sunday afternoon, be tween four and five o'clock, afire broke out in some straw on the premises of Mr. Joseph Everson, of Bradfield, the same farm (the property of the Rev. Robert Davers) on which a fire took place last year ; but by the very commendable exertions of the labourers, the Suffolk and Norwich engines being also promptly on the spot, though their services were scarcely needed, the damage was confined to the destruction of a harvest waggon and about six loads of straw.

Some per sons who were taking young rooks in Mr. Tongue's rookery, found a bundle which contained a dead child, and one of the men most unfeelingly kicked it into some ivy. Tho affair, however, caused a good deal of con versation ; it was mentioned to Ann Robinson, Mil Tongue's housekeeper, and she was observed to evince confusion, though at the moment she passed the matter off with a mere expression of surprise. In the course of the evening the dead child disappeared from the ivy bush, and could not 'then be found, and the samo, night. Robinson destroyed herself by taking a large dose of laudanum. The child:was he's ; but nothing transpired tending to show wltether it had been put to death or died in the birth through neglect. Inquests were held on both bodies. In the case of the woman a verdict of felo de se was returned; in that of the child the jury re • turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the de ceased Ann Robinson.

Wicx, MAY 15.—During the last fourteen days about 100 boats and their crews left here and the La- . theron coast, for the early fishing in the Lewis. There haVe not been much accoudts from them since as to suc cess, but several small cargoes of herrings have come to Wick from the LeWis, and have all been immediately shipped again for Hamburgh. The %\9ck fish-curers are all making the usual preparations for the fishing. The el boat-builders have this year built more than double the number of boats which were built last year, and more that have been built in any one year for a number of years. This view wa:s concurred in by the Court, and instruc tions were given that the Clerk of Presbytery should send up copies of the libel and other papers by Thursday next. The Assembly next took up an overture from the Presbytery of Abertarff, setting forth that, as the "num ber of parochial and other spiritual charges, now vacant, in which religious instruction is necessarily communi cated through the medium of the Gaelic language, is still very considerable ; and whereas the number of licentiates at present in 014 e Church, qualified by their knowledge of that language to discharge the duties of these cures, is not such as to meet the demand made for them, great injury to the cause of religion and the Church must unavoidably ensue from such a state of mat ters. It is, therefore, humbly overtured by the Presbytery of Abertarff to the venerable General Assembly, that they take measures to remedy this crying evil as speedily as possible, by expediting the training and li- , censing of probationers speaking the Gaelic language ; and that, for this purpose, if it seem meet to them, the venerable Assembly will be pleased to direct that one or more of the divinity halls and other schools of theology shall be opened for a session, some time in course of the summer or autumn of this year ; or to do otherwise in the circumstances as to them may seem most proper." Mr. CLARK, of Inverness, supported the overture. He said the number of preachers was entirely insufficient to supply the wants of the Highlands ; but it would be well before the Assembly - adopted any resolution on the subject, that it should be aware of the f a ct s o f th e case . It. had been said that the cause of the want of preachers now felt in the Highlands was the divi sion which took place last year in the Church; but that , was not the fact. He had been observing; for the last eight or nine years, that the number of Gaelic preachers had been gradually decreasing., and that the number of students who entered the Universities, with a view to the ministry, were also on the decrease during that period. This was the fact ; and the cause was, that during the last eight or nine ye ars , th e expense of theo logical education had been annually augmented by the new enactments which had been passed by the Assem bly. Had the expenses of a theological education been as great 20 or 30 years ago as it was now, not one-half of the ministers in the Highlands would have been able to enter the ministry at all. He proposed that the over ture be sent to a Committee to inquire into the whole matter, and to report. Dr. Hill Concurred in the proposal of a Committee to take into consideration the subject of Gaelic preachers. He thought the Committee should also be directed to take into consideration the state of the Church in gene ral on this subject. He was satisfied there was much room for inquiry, and perhaps room also for their taking certain steps in order to meet the difficulties in which they would yet be placed. He had occasion, during the last six weeks, to carry on a large correspondence with friends throughout the Church ; and he had now to express his gratitsde to them for the kindness with which they had met his inquiries. This correspondence would enable him to lay before a Committee, which was to be appointed, a mass of information respecting eighty parishes in the Highlands and Lowlands. After some further conversation, a Committee was then adopted to take the subject of the overture into consideration, and to report. ' The PROCURATOR gave in a report from the Law Com mittee. Since the last Assembly not fewer than 146 cases had been before the Committee. They had arisen for the most part out of the disruption of the Church, - and were partly connected with the position of quoad sacra churches—the principal difficulty being in con nection with the deeds and constitution of those chapels. One of those cases, considered by the Com mittee to he the most favourable, was selected for trial, but jdiat Ettaisaiours. It forward had been foiled. The seceding party had brought forward a case, which was one of the most favourable for them, and in all probability this case would take the lead. There were some cases in which interdicts had been ap plied for and obtained ; but there others where the par ties remained undisturbed, and the churches were still retained by them. He referred to the importance of this matter being considered at an early stage. The Com mittee had very properly been instructed to give advice in matters of law in all cases that might arise ; and they had also been enjoined to give —legal protec tion in cases where it might be requisite. In this latter injunction, however, the Assembly passed out of its province, as the Committee had not a single farthing at it t w hei rads ec ispnos necessary fo and r when thenlee parties galmeas to find theureswereto means beado forpted themselves. He then impressed upon the Assembly the propriety of funds being procured to relieve those Pres byteries which had been heavily burdened with ex penses, for 'some Presbyteries had not been burdened at all, whileothers were led into great expense. The Procurator then moved that the Assembly should appoint a Com mittee to- advise with the Procurator, when necessary, on any question which might have arisen, or might arise, with regard to the civic rights of Presbyteries in parishes and chapels at ease within their bounds. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The Assembly adjourned at half-past two. THE " MORNING STAR."—This is the title of a forthcoming weekly journal, and the words will probably excite no agreeable feeling in the mind of a certain no bleman. The prospectus, which is in keeping with the title, begins thus:—" The Morning Star will urge upon these nations the immediate re-acknowledgment of the judicial laws written down to divine dictation by Moses, as being the purest and most comprehensive in principle, and the most economical in practice, of all laws that have ever existed, or can, by man, be invented : de manding of the people not merely obedience, on their own part, to these laws for the fhture, but the full execu tion of retributive justice for the past, upon every class and individual now trampling down or failing to obey these divine statutes; with the consequent annihilation of all systems, instituti•ns, and interests not absolutely consistent with the pure principle of equal justice upon which these laws are founded." After reading this awful announcement, we had not courage to look at another word of the prospectus. - STATE OF THE CROPS IN WEST KENT.—There has not been experienced, at a corresponding season •of the year, such a continued and (it may be said) so serious a drought. The land has often been in a drier state, but this has been at a later period of the year, when the crops had taken deeper root, and therefore enabled to keep alive, if not , to make growth ; but now many crops are completely scorched, down, " root and rind," to the bottom. The wheats seldorri suffer from want of mois ture in this district, -but they are now hoisting the yellow flag of distress; and the yield must be short, both in grain and. straw. The barleys are suffering severely. Where sown late they have had no chance to vege tate. Oats the same ; and in many instances the sowing has been posponed, from the stubborn state of the land, and must be abandoned for this season alto gether. The clovers, which at the beginning of March were unusually good, are in many instances com pletely scorched and destroyed ; even on the strong clay soils the land is so cracked in all directions that the crops cannot stand. The grass, both in the meadows and pastures, is looking very unpromising, and the crops of hay must be short. The hop bine is growing fast, and looking well. Fruit is also showing a good blossom, espeCially cherries and apples; there is here and there appearance of blight, bill this is by no means general or extensive. The lambiug season has proved the most prosperous ever remembered by the oldest shep herds; the fall is Romney-marsh, and, indeed, through out th whole district, has been numerous, and the wee= ther.continues so fine that they have thrived rapidly on a comparatively small portion of food. The meat mar kets remain dull, and the prices are not satisfactory nor 'remunerating to the graziers. The corn markets are steady, with a slight inclination ukwerds. Labour is scarce and many hands unemployed, ler even the weeds have ceased to grow. TAUNTON.--THE LATE MURDERS.—We are in formed that those abandoned women, Mary and, Faith Sealy, who left Wilton Gaol a few days ago acconv panied by the governor, to proceed to one of our sed pOrts, whence they have since embarked f or Australia, confessed .to him that they had committed the murders With which they severally stood charged:* Faith stated that she poisoned her father, and that her confession made before the coroner (and in which she, declared that she had 'seen her sister mix the arsenic I , 6qt the food given him) was false, she (Faith) having herself prepared the food for him, and mixed the poison with it. Mary Sealy, too, confessed to having murdered her aunt under the circumstanees described at the trial. More horrible cases OF depravity have, perhaps, seldom bcen heard. [And twenty-four greater blockheads than the two juries who acquitted these Women have seldom been .sworn in a.cburt of justioe. The evidence in each ease' left no reasonable ground of any doubt W`hatever as to the guilt of the prisoners.]—Somerset County' Gateite. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Miss Clara Sexton, last evening gave, at this room,' a lecture on comedy, showi ng it s r i se an d progress, and its influence on the human mind, interspersed with songs and recitations. The attempt was a bold- one, bUt it was completely successful. We some time since had occasion to • speak of the great versatility of talent exhibited by this young lady, on her appearance at one of the theatres. To this we have to add that not only did she bring great ver satility of talent to bear in illustrating her lecture, but that the lecture itself bore proofs of great research, refined taste, and correct appreciation of comic character. After rapidly tracing the rise and progress of comedy, from the earliest ages to the days of Shakspeare, she alluded to the sensibility- of the im mortal bard to the charms of music, and illustrated this portiOn of the lectur e by singing the beautiful song, ," Bid me discourse." After briefly alluding to the comediei of Ben Jonson and Chapman, she proceeded to one, of Shakspeare's earlieSt, but, at the same time, one of his roost. perfect comedies, Much Ado about Nothing: From this admirable comedy she recited various . passages—in which she exhibited histrionic power of a very high order. Her conception of the character of Beatrice is admirable, and we hope the day. is not far distant when we shall have the- pleasure of seeing her embody this delightful Shaksperian creation on the boards of one of our national theatres. The delightful., _play of the Tempest was illustrated by the two songs, "Oh L bid your faithful Ariel fly," and " Where the Bee sucks," the latter of which was deservedly encored. The second part opened with a critical notice of the Taming of the Shrew, and a most interesting com parison, illustrated by the recitation of parallel passages, was instituted, between this play and Tobin's exquisite comedy of the Honey Moon. The Merry Wives of Windsor, and A Midsummer Night's Dream were then briefly touched upon ; the latter beautiful fairy creation being illustrated by the song, " Love in Idleness," and " Over Hill, over Dale,"after which, followed an analysis of. Twelfth Night and Th e M erc h an t of Venice. The comic writers, successors of Shakspcare, down to the time of Sheridan, were then briefly passed in review, and returning to Shakspeare, as the basis of comparison, the fair lecturer concluded by an analysis of that most delightful of comedies As You Like It, illustrating it by extracts from the beautiful poetry which the bard has put into the mouth of Rosalind, which was delivered with effect, and at the same time so much ; beauty, and which exhibited such a thorough appreciation of all the lights and shadows and delicate tints with which Shakspeare has worked out that truly beautiful creation of feminine character, that we long to see Miss Clara Seyton delineating it as a whole, " with all appliances and means to boot, " that can be furnished forth by stage effect, scenery, &c. Her Rosalind we are convinced must succeed. She was much applauded throughout, and announced another lecture for this day week. Between the parts of the lecture- Miss Emily Hudson, a young lady only seven years of age, performed upon the piano -forte a series of variations on the air " Alexis Send Ich Dich," in the most brilliant manner. She exhibited a firmness of touch, and a bril liancy of execution truly wonderful, and she does great credit to her talented instructress. The room was crowded. FRENCH"and ENGLISH COOKERY. The metropolis of England exceeds that of France in extent and population ; it commands a greater supply of all articles of consumption, and contains a greater number and variety of markets, which are better supplied. There are also some articles of meat, and some articles of cookery in which Eng land exceeds France. Though we are undoubtedly inferior to the Gauls in the articles of veal and fowl, yet we greatly surpass them in mutton, produce better beef, lamb, and pork, and are immeasurably superior both in the quantity and quality of our fish, our venison and our game. It is in fish, however, that we have been always most pre-eminent. The turbot brought to Billingsgate in the last month (March) in large quantities from the sand-banks, on the coast of Holland and St. George's Channel, sufficiently attest our energy and enterprise. The coasts of Holland and the sea beyond our western coast are as open to the French as to the British, yet when has any Paris market disclosed such a supply of fish as may be seen daily at Billingsgate, even after the hundreds of thou sands of retail fishmongers have been supplied? In a few soups, such as turtle, which we possess in the greatest perfection, owing to our colonial trade r and ox tail, mock turtle, giblet, hare, pea, and mutton broth, we also surpass the French—but in the making of the latter admirable broth for invalids, there is still much to desire at coffee-houses and clubs. We scarcely know a public establishment where it may be eatea in perfection, excepting at Brookes's, in St. JaMES'S • street. It were most desirable that we should learn how to make a French bouillon or a Lit de ponle, for here indeed we are ignorant and at fault. In the boiling of all plain fish we surpass our neighbours. There is nothing in Paris equal to a first-rate English turbot, codfish, haddock, John Dorey, or Southampton water; or Severn salmon; but we think the sauces used for these fishes in France infinitely preferable. The French certainly beat us in sturgeon cutlets, filets de sole, and Bechamels of fish. The oysters of Cancale, •of Etretat, of Ostend, and Marenne, are, we freely admit, superior to the generality of English oysters, because they are less artificially fed, and have not their flavour washed away. But if the London tradesmen would spare their oatmeal and frosh water, we have no doubt the Milton native oyster would be found fully equal to its Gallic brother. The Carlingford and Burren oysters are fully as good. In other shell fish also we have a decided superiority. The corpulent, respectable, full-fed crab is almost unknown to the Gauls, and they have but a small quantity of lobsters and• prawns, but they cultivate the smaller cray fish in great quantities, which is not common in England. Nor is there anything in French cookery equal to our barons of beef, our noble sirloins, our exquisite haunches, and saddles, legs, and loins of Southdown mutton ; °sir noble roands of boiled beef, and those prime five-guinea haunches •of venison which one sees from June, till September, at the establishment of Messrs. Groves, at Charing-cross and in Bond-street. In cutlets of all kinds, in fricasees, ragouts, salmis, quenelles, purees filets, and more especially in the dressing of vegetables, our neighbours surpass us; but we roast our game more perfectly, and can hash mutton and venison better than any one of the myriads of French cooks. In bread, cream, butter, eggs, whether with reference to size or freshness, England is not to compare with France; and a French pou larde of La Bresse or du Mani is worth all the Dorking fowl hatched since the time of the deluge. Though, there fore, we admit:that the French cuisine be more luxurious, more varied, more palateable, more fair and dainty to look on rather, than our ruder, more simple, more frugal, and less luxurious kitchen, yet we apprehend our ali ments (with the single exception of our vegetables) are infinitely more nutritious, and, to English stomachs at Jeast, just as easy of digestion—perhaps, indeed, easier, than the more refined and recherche fare of our livelier neighbours.—Foreign Quarterly Review. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THB MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 111 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at shori being 25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31 17s. lOld. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13101; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10*, it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1081 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must - be dedu cted from the above difference.

THE ENGLISH FIRESIDE : a Tale of the 1 Past. By JOHN MILLS, Esq., Author of the " Old English Gentleman," " The Stage Coach, or the Road of Life," &c. In three vols. " Mr. Mills, both in this and in his former works, appears in a very agreeable light. He is evidently himself an English gentleman of the best school, and an eminently patriotic writer. All his taste, and predilettions 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 it here, like one of nature's epicures, and he *Would not give two farthings to the inventor of a new pleasure. The English Fireside is, indeed, well arranged and rapid, and deeply in teresting, nay exciting—in this respect it far supersedes the author's previous productions. No.one who loves a manly, vigorous, healthy style of writing should fall to read this Tale of the Past."—Sunday Times. Saunders and Otley, Conduit-street, Regent-street, Communion Services, &c. C.
