It is scarcely necessary to advert to the advantages which, in all transactions of magnitude' a Company possesses over indi viduals but there is perhaps no undertaking to which this re mark ardies with so much force as to Insurance of any desciip tion. Until within the last few years, however, the Law restrained all partnerships (except the Royal Exchange arid the London Assurance Companies) from effecting this sgecies of Assur ance. Since this exclusive right has ceased to exist, a few other Marine Insurance Companies have been established in London, and the aggregate paid-up Capital of the whole amounts to less than a million and a half. Some opinion may be formed of the success therto attended the Marine Insurance Compan tinned, from the following Table, showing ti bears a considerable premium ; viz which has hi ies above men iat their Stock ut Present Capital. 4 %.

The Directors of the Neptune Marine Insurance Company, having received from many influential persons connected with the mercantile and shipping interests of the country the most flattering encouragement, and assurances of support, feel confident that the establishment of this Company will be at tended with advantage to the mercantile world, and with profit combined with security to the Proprietors. It is not anticipated that a larger instalment than 51. per Share will be required; and if a Charter be not obtained, a clause will, as in other Companies recently established, be in troduced into each Policy limiting the liability of each Pro prietor to the amount of his Shares, which, being the express contract of the parties insuring, will be bindincrupon them. Sufficient Capital for the purpose having been already sub scribed, the Directors propose to commence business on or be fore the Ist of July next, and in order to avoid the unre stricted application for such Shares as are yet unappropriated, by persons not intending to become bona fide Proprietors, they have resolved only to entertain applications made in ;the printed form, as below, and accompanied by a deposit of 2/. per Share, and they reserve to themselves the right of returning the de posit if the application be rejected; but if accepted, to be placed to the credit of the applicant in respect of his Shares.

At four o'clock this day Mr. C. Berkeley will move the rejection of the (so called and miscalled) Chel tenham Improvement Bill. The question of principle in volved in this Bill is whether town Commissioners, who levy rates and make by-laws for the government of the borough, should be responsible to the people who pay such rates, and are bound to obey such by-laws. Mr. Craven Berkeley's motion on Tuesday night for the rejection of the Bill was only lost by two, the numbers having been 95 against and 97 for it, and upwards of twenty members who came down to vote against the Bill having been a few minutes too late and shut out. It is to be hoped that the friends of representative principles will be more punctual to-day, and will muster in such strength as to defeat the oligarchical job. —Morning Chronicle. THE LATE FROSTS.—The fine beech woods crowning the hills from Arundell into Hampshire have been so perfectly blasted by the severe frost of the 14th, that, although on the previous day they were glowing in all the beauty of spring, on the subsequent day they pre sented an appearance precisely similar to trees adjoining a house that bad been burnt down, and thus the two elements produce similar effects. Hundreds of acres of woodlands are in this state, and only the very forward beech, whose leaves have gained a little more strength have escaped. — Taunton Courier. • WASPS.-It is not generally known that the large wasps which are seen flying about in the months of April and May are queen Wasps, and that, therefore, the de struction of them is the prevention of the Birth of myriads of wasps, These powerful enemies of the honey bee are eagerly sought alter at this season by persons by whom they are mercilessly destroyed. Earl Fitzwilliam gives a shilling for each wasp brought to him, "dead or alive," in the months of April and May. His Lordship pays more than five or six pounds a year in this way, which he con ciders a very profitable expenditure as regards the protec tion of his fruit and honey bees.—Maidstone .T ourna l. _ _ The Sacred Harmonic Society have announced for their concert this evening Handel's Dettingen Te Deum, a short selection, and Haydn's First Service, for the first time. Miss Cawthorne, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Phil lips, Mr. Harper, and Signor Dragonetti, will render their valuable assistance at this performance, which pro mises to be one of the most successful of the Society's efforts. FANCY FAIR.— On Tuesday, the 4th of June, a Fancy Fair was held upon the grounds of Mrs. Tanswell and Mr. Gates, of the Royal Artillery, at Night ingale Vale, Woolwich, for the purpose of completing the sum of 500/., which is to form a fund whence the wives and children of the privates of the Artillery, who are left behind upon the embarcation of their husbands for foreign service, may derive the means ,of subsistence, until such time as the regulations of the service will permit them to draw upon the pay of their husbands. This very praiseworthy scheme having been so far matured by the indefatigabie exertions of the above-named lady, has now, by her, been resigned into the hands of Lord Bloomfield, who has given the scheme the full weight of bis amiable patronage and efficient influence, and it is gratifying to think that the poor soldier is now no longer harassed at the moment of his departure with the reflection that he leaves his wife and family to the chance of utter destitution. The Fair was most numerously and elegantly attended, and the contribu tions very greatly exceeded the sum required to complete the proposed amount. The band of the Artillery Regi ment played, during the whole afternoon, some of the most popular and difficult music, with the greatest taste and effect. APOTHECARIES' HALL.—At the Court of Examiners last night at Apothecaries' Hall, the following gentlemen were granted their certificates of qualification : Mr. Edward Robert Lock, Debenham. Mr. George Betts, Watford. Mr. John Roycroft. Mr. Robert M'Lownam. Mr. William Shuttleworth, Manchester. Mr. John James Wright, Stamford•bridge, near York. Mr. James Tomlinson, York. BRUSSELS, JUNE s.—The average prices of wheat and rye in the last week were 24 francs 28 cents, and 15 francs 70 cents ; the regulations for importation and exportation remain unchanged. The number of travellers on the railroad, in the month of May, was 105,520, and the receipt, 240,045 francs. Juno 4.—A Cabinet mes senger was despatched to-day from the Foreign Office to London, with a considerable mass of papers supposed to be the duplicates of the treaties of the 19th of April. Several of these papers were signed by the King this morning. A letter from Odessa says, that a great number of merchantmen of different nations have been freighted in all the ports of the Bak Sea, by order of the Russian Go vetnment, on very high terms. A letter from Bougie of May 9th, in the Seraphore de Marseilles says, " I have this moment learned from a vessel that has arrived from Djizelli, that Capt. Brun, who with his whole crew had fallen into the hands of the Bedouins, had been set at liberty with his people, and is now at Constantine. The military authorities who exerted themselves to rescue them from the hands of the natives, have received them with the utmost kindness. —Courrier Francais. EXTENSION OF THE FRANCHISE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—l am one of those who consider that the electoral franchise ought to be extended to every honest man in the kingdom, of mature age and sound mind, and I have come to this conclusion after a calm and careful consideration of all that has been urged on both sides of the question. The system of representation is an invention for the purpose of enabling the people to be present at the discussion of every measure ; so that no law shall be made affecting the property of any indi vidual, without his having an opportunity of expressing his assent or dissent." All the people, not a mere class or portion, ought to be represented ; and the election should be equal and proportionate— that is to say, every ten thousand, or some other given number, ought to return one member to the great council. If a few arrogate to themselves the exclusive right of electing representatives to govern the whole community, that must be a usurpation in direct viola tion of the inherent rights of msn. With regard to the argument that men cannot claim a right of voting because women and children are not expected to do so, it is too preposterous to require any comment. As well might it be said that those men who now exercise the right, have for the same reason no good claim. The language of Mr. Grote in the late debate on Household Suffrage, exactly expresses my sentiments. That high-minded and talented man—the chief orna ment of the Radical party—said he " saw no reason For withholding the elective franchise from any man, unless it could be proved, or a strong presumption could be raised, that he was unfit to exercise it. That view he conceived to be in accordance with the theory of Representative Government in every nation which had possessed one. He believed the principle universally assumed was, that it was desirable to have the representative body coincident, as nearly as possible, with the body of males of mature age in the community.' Even those who are of opinion that the time is not yet come for the enfranchisement of the working classes, will, I trust, look with an eye of sympathy upon their peaceful endeavours to raise themselves in the scale of society ; and possess the name and privileges of freemen. Various favoured towns had from time to time had the boon of liberty conferred upon them ; and the masses are surely justified in striving to attain the same blessing. In the towns alluded to individuals enjoy the right of voting in the election of Members of Par liament, although not householders, nor possessed of any property. These men are dignified by the title of freemen, to distinguish them from those who have nothing to do with the making the laws by which they are governed. Now, Sir, I contend that all men in Great Britain ought to be freemen—there should be no slave class. Mark, too, the inconsistency of the present system ! Why should the mechanic in one town have a vote, and his brother workman in another town have none ? According to Mr. Hume, " taxation and representa tion ought to be coexistent and coextensive. This is sufficient for my purpose, because all consumers are tax-payers ; but even if that were not so, they ought by their Representatives to express their assent or dissent from laws affecting their property, liberty, and lives. It is quite true that there are many of the working classes who would not use their freedom with discretion ; but the same remark applies to the present constituency. And a little reflection and calculation will clearly show that any rule excluding a large portion of the people from their birthright, will shut out two fit and proper persons for every one who would abuse his political rights. The question resolves itself into this, Ought we to ex clude three individuals from the franchise, because one would prostitute his vote to base purposes ? You look upon the vicious and destitute prowlinc , about the streets, and excl a i m —" Wh a t use w ould they make of political power ?" But then you should take into con sideration that these are but few in number compared with the rest of the community, and that the rule which puts them beyond the pale, also proscribes three times their number of respectable and intelligent work ing men, whose votes would far more than countervail their influence. The purchased votes under a system of universal suffrage would have far less weight than at present, for in nearly all the small towns the elections are turned by the direct influence of money. This is owing to the fewness of the electors. • The effect of Universal Suffrage would be to create a lively sympathy on the part of the Government in favour of the working classes, and to confer vast politi cal power on our great manufacturers and merchants. A manufacturer employing, say 500 men, would usually have at least 350 of them concur with him in general politics. This is the sort of man in whom large political power ought to exist ; the influence of a great manufac turer ought to be much beyond that of a landlord hav ing only 20 or 30 men on his estate. The mighty inte rests of commerce would then stand a better chance of being properly attended to. Universal Suffrage would give .the predominance to the intelligence of the empire ; for as two thirds of the population are employed in manufactures and trade, and only one-third in agricuhure, the ignorant country peo ple would be represented by a small minority ; whereas the booby squires and bigoted parsons are completely paramount under the r. ient system. The county should be divided into electoral districts. each containing a given numbk,r of electors ; and in e ach district there should be numerous polling places, to Prevent the uproar and confusion caused by large as semblies of p'eople. To say with Mr. Thomas Attwood that every man ought to have a vote, but that in one part of the country a Member should be returned by fewer constituents than in another part, is inconsistent and absurd. Suppose a town, containing one hundred electors, returns two Members to Parliament, whilst another town, with ten thousand, sends no more ; upon what principle or reasoning can the disparity be defended? We should want but a small standing army if the people were really governed through their own repre sentatives ; for every man might then be entrusted with military knowledge and a sword for the defence of his country, without fear or jealousy on the part of the Government, and as an armed nation we should be quite safe from foreign invasion. I may say, with Mr. O'Connell " Is it in accordance with common sense that the present system shall en dure—the master classes of the people having votes, the slave classes none ? Talk of property being represented! What property is more valuable than physical strength, and the possession of intellect, which God and nature have given to man ?" I am not, Sir, of a sanguine temperament, but I feel a deeply rooted conviction that, before many years, there will be Universal Suffrage. That mighty engine the Press, is thoroughly arousing the people from the lethargy of ages, and nothing can resist the just and reasonable demands of the millions. The objectly will probably be attained by progressive steps, but nothing will henceforth lull the multitude ; every additional post taken will only be used for the advancement of the great cause. But what benefit would be derived by the working classes from Universal Suffrage? Those who ask this question believe that the condition of the people cannot at all be affected either the one way or the other, by bad or good government. On the contrary, I maintain that a series of judicious measures would make food and all kinds of necessaries more plentiful, vastly increase the employment of the people, and greatly improve their mental and bodily condition in a hundred different ways. In fact, I want Universal Suffrage, because I want a Repeal of the Corn-laws and the New Poor-law—be cause I want a totally different system of taxation, and a liberal and universal system of education—a thorough Reform of the Church, and equalization of its revenues, cheap and good Government, and the abolition of the law of primogeniture, cheap, speedy, and equal justice. In fine, I want this great principle to be acted upon " the greatest happiness to the greatest number ;" and I see no hope of that until " the greatest number" are represented. A PHILANTHROPIST. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.--A jury of the inhabitants of the city of Exeter were called upon on Monday to assess damages in the case of Hutchins v. Much, grocer, for breach of promise of marriage. The defendant is a grocer in the city, and had promised to marry the plaintiff, a young woman of respectable family, who carried on the business of a dress-maker and milliner. After paying attention to her for three years, during which time ho had repeatedly promised to marry her, the first intimation of his intention to alter his mind was seeing his marriage to another person in the Devonshire papers. Several persons proved the promise by the defendant, and evidence was given that he turned 100/. weekly in his business. The jury returned a verdict 2001. damages.— Exerter Flying Post.

A NOVEL RELIC OF ANCIENT TIMES.—A quantity of butter, about ten pounds weight, was found in Oumley Bog, near Muff, county Donegal, last week, by a labourer of Mr. E. Johnson's, of Drumshellan. It lay in the lowest cut of the bog, in a solid mass ; and, althou g h it must have l a i n i n that situation for a great many years, perhaps centuries, it was in a state of good preservation. It is of a pure white colour, somewhat resembling tallow, and, when reduced to a liquid state, seems to have tho ap pearance and p ropert i es of butter o f a superior quality.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT —A lady in crossing Regent street, on Tuesday, was knocked down by an om nibus, and her leg so lacerated that amputation was re. sorted to. 1 MODERN PRIIESTCRAFT• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Scut—ln these days, when priestly domination is threatening to plunge us back again into mental night, it is the clear duty of all who value the liberty of rea son to examine into the solidity of the foundations on which modern priestcraft rests, that so we may either discover the root of the evil, and strike there, or failing to discover any rottenness in the foundations, we may gather reason for thinking that priestcraft is a super structure which can never be legitimately raised from a basis to opposite so itself. Such being my opinion of the indispensableness of free inquiry, I was gratified by the acute critique of your correspondent " Rusticus," on the much-vexed question of the first chapters of Genesis, though I feel bound to say that I differ from him, in tote, in holding that there is a divineness in every iota of the Books of Moses ; and as I conceive that I maintain this opinion on a rational ground, I shall, I trust, be answering all the questions of " Rusticus," if I endeavour to state, with great brevity, what that ground is. The views I our about to propound, are those which I (at one time, like your correspondent, " in search of a religion") have found in the clear, cool, and reasoning pages of the much celebrated, but much-unknown Emanuel Swedenborg. I hold, then, that the holiness and divine trueness of the word of God consists in the spirit, or spiritual sense, which resides within it, and which is composed of spi ritual ideas, correspondent to the material ideas which appear in the sense of the letter. In this manner, therefore, the true value of the first chapters of Genesis does not consist in their giving any account whatever of the first creation of the world of nature, or of the body of man ; these being subjects which come to be con-' sidered by the sciences of geology and physiology, and not by the life-influence and inward consciousness, which is alone religion. But it does consist in their pourtray ing, under the images and symbols of a creation of visible nature, the successive formation, by a Divine hand, of intelligence, wisdom, and love, in the dark, primeval chaos of the natural man. The first account of th e creation carries the work of man's regeneration up to that state in which he becomes obedient to the truths which are revealed to his reason, and from his reason, fights against the corrupt desires of the natural will ; this operation in man being effected by the Divine Truth, fo r which, in the word, the name God is a representative symbol. But the second account of man's creation is a higher evolution of the Divine Pro cess, or the creatio n of a still higher form of man, in which man, afte r being under a constrained obe dience to the Truth of Reason, comes at length to yield a willing obedience to them, or to act from the love of a newly created will. And this change is the operation of the divine goodness, which is signified by the word Jehovah ; and which, when united with God, as Jehovah-God, signifies the oneness of the Divine goodness and truth, in effecting this high process in the souls of men. The true exposi tion of the Books of Genesis and Exodus may be seen, by your truth-seeking Correspondent, in the great work of Swedenborg, entitled " Arcana Coe lestia," in which every word of those Books is shown to have a spiritual sense within it, treating solely of that which is the sole subject and object of religion, namely, the soul of man, and the laws of the Divine operation upon it. Here are no apostolic successions, or belief of books on the human authority of fathers, grandfathers, or well-fed heads of stone churches, but mere appeals to the reason and best affections of the inner man. Here, in the pages of this great work, are the energetic truths, before which Protestantism, Catholicism, Tory ism, and all other partial or perverted views of truth, must melt away, like mists from the presence of the sun. Here, in a word, is " the truth which makes men free," and the real freedom of thought which is the re sult of truth. A SWEDENBORGIAN. THE CHARTISTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—An erroneous opinion being prevalent that the Chartists are holding their meetings at my house and which is calculated to prove hi g hly i n j ur i ous t o me , I beg the favour of your allowing me to explain away the error through the medium of your columns. At the time the Corn-law question occupied so much attention, a meeting of the Chartists was advertised " to take place at Brown's Hotel," which was done without my sanction, and, indeed, without my knowledge. Some members of that body, after the announcement, applied for the accommodation of rooms for the purpose of holding their meetings, but I distinctly declined receiving them, and they engaged apartments at some other hotel. The announcement that their meetings were to be held here obtained great publicity, and, as I took no public step to make known my refusal to receive them, the impression has gone abroad that their meetings take place here, which is not only unpleasant to my feelings, but, as I before ob served, calculated to be of serious injury to me, I trust, therefore, to your well known candour to insert this expla nation, And remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A. BROWN. Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, June 1, 1839. Wednesday was the birthday of his Majesty Ernest the First, King of Hanover, heir-presumptive to the throne of these realms, who completed his GBth year, having been born in 1771. PARIS, ,31.---This morning a young man, I ,,, inp• a name rendered illustriflns by ono of tLe brave Marshals of die empire, M. Auguste S—, was arrested at home, in pursuance of a warrant of the police prefect. The unfortunate youth, led away by a fatal passion for play, had yesterday abstracted some articles of plate from a house where he had diined. He had immediately pawned them at the Mont de Piete, and some minutes after the small sum yielded by his ignominious action had vanished in one of the abject gambling rooms whose existence we have de- nounced, and which the police is unable to watch effectually, tolerated as they are, by the silence or inefficiency of the law. Auguste S— has been delivered over to the law officers of the crown, in spite of the steps taken by his fa mily, who have interceded in his behalf, after indemnifying the owner of the plate. —Paris Paper. SINGULAR WILL.—A person lately deceased in Bradford, after providing for the apprenticeship of his three sons, bequeathed 5001. to his widow, but on the con dition that she marry before six months after his decease. She is very good looking, and will have no difficulty in complying with his injunction. TIIE LINEN TRADE IN FRANCE.—The Mi nister of Commerce received yesterday a deputation of the manufacturers and other persons interested in the linen trade, to make representations to him on the question of duties. The Minister demanded a delay of a week to give the subject further consideration. A commission of the Council of Commerce has been inquiring into the state of the linen trade and manufactures, and has heard a great mass of evidence collected from various quarters. hisT commission recommends that the tariff of 1826 should be re-established exactly as it was, and styles the tariff of 1836 malencontreuse. It also demands that the difference of the duties on flax thread (fils de lin) and tow thread (fils d'etoupes) shall be abolished ; and that the protecting duty, which is now only from three to four per cent., shall be rAi3ed to seven or eight per cent. ; as also that the duty on machinery for the linen manufacture imported from Eng land shall be reduced 15 per cent. Some of the principal manufacturers are anxious for a protecting duty of eight per cent. on limn yarns, and 26 per cent. on linen cloths.— Galignani. T:HE CHURCIL-Here we have a cathedral establishment which brings the facts to which we have al luded before the eyes of the most careless. We say nothing of the income of the Bishop : his labour in at tending the House of Lords (to vote for every Tory mea sure), in superihtending the clergy of his diocese, and preaching some three or four sermons every year, may be worth the five thousand some odd hundreds per annum, which the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have awarded him ; but can the same thing be said of the Dean and Pre bends--five worthy gentlemen who last year divided amongst them upwards of 7,0001. out of the revenues at their disposal ? And for what was this received ? What labour did they perform in return ? Were they busily en ;aged in instructing the youth of the neighbourhood ? Were they visiting the sick—sheltering the houseless— comforting the widow and the fatherless? Alas, the dio cese saw little of them beyond the time required for coun ting the cash and writing out their respective receipts for the money. Archbishop Cranmer, in his famous letter to Cromwell, speaks of the canons and prebendaries of those days, as a " superfluous condition," and says a prebendary is neither a " learner nor teacher, but a good viander, who wastes his substance in superfluous belly-cheer." Whether they be as good vianders now, we cannot under. take to say ; but that they are neither " learners nor teachers" in the place whence they derive so much wealth, it does not require the ghost of Cranmer to inform us. It is not of the men we speak, but of the system ; and it is of the upholders of that system we complain, when we hear them denouncing grants of public money for the instruc tion of those whom that system has neglected and left in utter ignorance. Shame ought, at least, to do their tongues, if fear of public indignation at their own neglect of duty, did not make them hide their heads.—Carlisle Journal. GLASGOW, JUNE I.—Yesterday evening Mr. Paulton, Lecturer to the Anti-Corn-law League, delivered his first lecture in the Baronial Hall of Gorbals. Al though the lecture had only been announced by placards in the course of the forenoon, and although Mr. Paulton's arrival was far from being generally known, the building was crowded. For two hours the eloquent and accurate lecturer was listened to with earnest attention. The pre dominant characteristic of the lecturer was that grim sa gacity peculiar to Scotsmen, but Mr. Paulton': appeal to their feelings occasionally produced responses of vehement cheering from the silent attention which prevailed. The Committee of the Local Anti-Corn-law Association are busy making arrangements for Mr. Paulton's lecturing in the other districts of the city. On Wednesday and Thursday first he is to address the central district in a ca pacious Church, and after that the suburbs. These Glas gow lectures are the commencement of a lecturing tour through Scotland. It is not so much the opinion of Scot land that needs to be formed on the subject of the Corn laws as the feelings of Scotsmen which need to be strung to action. In this task Mr. Paulton promises obe emi nently successful. STATE OF TRADE.—There was some Improve merit in the demand for yarn yesterday, and a considerable amount of business was done, but without any advance in prices. In goods the improvement was not quite so mani fest as in yarn, though, on the whole, the market was better rather than worse.—Manchester Guardian, Wed nesday. DUTCH MAIL. TIIR HAGUE, JUNE 3.—lt is reported here that the men of the levees of 1834 and 1835, will likewise be sent to their homes with unlimited furloughs. The Russian Crown Prince has given a handsome gold enamelled snuff-box to M. F. C. F. Deminiere, dancing master of the Court, as a proof of his satisfaction with the manner in which M. Deminiere directed the Balls which were given at Court during his Imperial Highness's visit. NIMEGUEN, JUNE 3. —His Imperial Highness, the Grand Duke Alexander, having been expected here yes terday afternoon, every preparation was made to receive him with the due honours. His Imperial Highness did not arrive till half-past one this morning, and set out again eight o'clock. The Grand Duke was much grieved at the death of Prince William, of Saxe Wiemar. When his Imperial Highness arrived on his way to the Hague, the Prince was among those who waited to receive him, and was immediately recognized, who cor dially invited him to spend the evening with him. His Highness was afterwards present at many of the festi vities at the Hague, in honour of the Grand Duke, and now he lies in the grave. His Imperial Highness much wished to visit the spot where he is buried, but fearing that it would too long delay his journey, he very unwil lingly gave up the idea. HANOVER, MA Y 31.—Up to this moment there is not a sufficient number of members arrived to constitute the Second Chamber. On the 28th, when the session was to be opened, there were only 22 of the old deputies, and 11 newly elected members, or 33 in all. Though several others will probably arrive in the sequel, the Government is greatly disappointed by this first check in its efforts to unite a sufficient number of members to proceed to busi ness. At the beginning, when it seemed that the Govern ment would gain its object, several deputies, on whom it thought it could depend, either resigned, or agreed toge ther to take no part in the sittings till the number should be complete without them. The Government has pub. flatted nothing respecting the failure of its endeavours to complete the Chamber.—Journal de la Hale, June 1. WARSAW, MAY 28. —His Serene Highness the Duke of Leuchtenburg arrived here yesterday evening, and after paying a visit to Prince Paskevritch, Governor of the king dom, proceeded without stopping on his journey to St. Petersburg. Another lamentable accident has happened on the Danube. A letter from Vienna announces the loss of a sailing packet, with 64 passengers on board, the greater part of whom were drowned, but the spot where this sad occurrence took place is not specified.—Galignani's Mes senger. ATTENTIVE WAITERS.—The following laugh able trick was played off at a dinner of the Melodist's Club, by a gentleman who could not get any of the waiters to pay attention to what he said to them. He called one of the principal ones to him, and asked him if he knew Mr. T. Cooke. He replied in the affirmative—" Go, and tell him that the Duke of Buccleuch will be happy to take wine with him," said the wag. Away ran the waiter to Mr. Cooke, who was up to the joke in an instant, and who rose tip and bowed respectfully to the " mock Duke ;" meantime the waiter informed his master and his fellow-ser vants that the dinner was honoured with the presence of the great Scottish nobleman ; the consequence was, that most of the waiters, and mine host, too, crowded around his Grace (as they thought), nor would any of them budge from his chair if they could avoid it. The joke did not end with the dinner; but, when the company took their departure, the moment his Grace was seen descending the stairs, half a dozen waiters began to cry out to the porters, " Call the Duke of Buccleuch's carriage ;" away ran the latter shouting about the streets, until his Grace informed them he would walk home ; but, in order not to dishonour the title, he gave them a douceur, and then rode home in an omnibus for sixpence.—Cheltenham Looker-on. AN UNKNOWN Loss.—Just previously (as we are informed) to the Queen's departure yesterday (Friday) from the Castle, Mr. Brown, surgeon, of Sheet street, was sent for to attend her Majesty. Upon leaving the Castle a Bank-note in an envelope was put into Mr. Brown's hands, which, without opening, he safely, as he imagined, deposited in his waistcoat pocket. On his arrival at his residence he discovered that the " royal fee" had vanished. STATE OF TRADE.—We have no improve ment to report in the state of trade. There has been a fall this week in the prices of yarn of Id. per lb. on carded sort, and id on combed, which of course will not have a tendency to increase the confidence of buyers of either yarns or manufactured goods. We do not, however, apprehend any further decline. The demand for shipping goods is now rapidly drawing to a close, and we arc not sanguine as to any extensive demand for the home market. On the whole we think that the prospects as it respects the staple trade of Leicester for the remainder of the year, are very moderate.—Leicester Mercury. An epidemic malady is said to be prevalent in some of the small towns round Paris, and in various parts of the Seine-et-Marne. It affects the stomach, and is attended by vomitings ; but as yet no deaths have been proved to have resulted from it near the capital, although we hear of a slight increase of mortality in the direction of La Ferte-sous-Jouarre. Maladies of this kind, it should be observed, are of very common occurrence at the beginning of the warm weather.— Galignani. IRON STEAMERS. - The compactness and lightness of iron vessels—the lessened danger in striking a rock, arising from the flexibility of the material—the freedom from dry rot—and other " ills that timber is heir to," render them preferable in the eyes of many who are conversant with marine affairs. These facts almost jus tify the prophecy that a day is not far distant when, in speaking of the maritime glories of Britain, we shall be constrained to say, the " metallic" instead of the " wood en" walls of England. PENNY POSTAGE PETITIOY.-- (1 ..: T,7C,lnes- ay ..yening, June 5, upwards of 250 postage petitions, praying for Mr. Rowland Hill's plan, were presented, making a total exceeding 1.400 petitions presented during the present 4t,ssio: the house of Commons alone. The copious rains which fell on Saturday night and Sunday morning last, have imparted a delightful fresh ness to the earth, which in all directions presents a health ful, verdurous and luxuriant aspect. Haymaking will com mence in about ten days. The wheat and other crops are recovering their impaired condition, and a prolific summer and bounteous autumn, may not unreasonably be anticipated. —Taunton Courier. RIOTS AT LIVERPOOL.—There have been some severe affrays between the carpenters of Liverpool and the low Irish in the south end of the town. The former, it appeared, aggravated the previously existing bad feeling between the English and Irish, by the carpen ters carrying obnoxious banners in their procession last Wednesday. The Liverpool Chronicle of Saturday con cludes some remarks on the subject by saying :—" It is impossible to form an opinion of the fatal effects which this serious riot may produce. Patrick Rice, a feeble old man, who lives in Pine-court, Crosby-street, was struck by a carpenter with an adze, with such force, that his recovery is out of the question. Several others are in a dangerous state. It is worthy of remark not a single police officer has been injured—the best compliment to their excellent organization. Nothing, indeed, could be better than the manner in which they were marshalled. The force was broken into six divisions of fifty each, and if the rioters had not been early arrested in their movements, the conse quences would have been most calamitous. During the \Thole of yesterday afternoon, St. James's-street and all the streets leading from it to the southern docks bore the appearance of a town in a state of siege. The shops and houses were closed, business was suspended, and great numbers of persons were to be seen in all directions, wait ing in feverish anxiety the result. At a late hour last night everything remained quiet." ALLEGED MURDER.—On 'Wednesday even ing, at half-past ten o'clock, a man named James Crowl, a carpenter, expired, in consequence of severe injuries he received in a fracas, which occurred on Saturday night last.- It appeared that the unfortunate deceased had been out 'to supper at Somers' -town, when, on re turning home through King-street, Holborn, a party of " gentlemen" rushed out from a billiard-room, and after a few words the deceased was knocked down. One of the party then fetched a large granite stone which he threw with great violence on the deceased, and broke his ribs. The deceased was taken to the hospital, where he lingered till the above time. A clue has been obtained as to the perpetrator of the cowardly and brutal act. NUMBER OF OAKS NECESSARY TO BUILD ONE SHIP. —When we consider the number of trees that are required to build a single ship, and the length of time necessary to bring them to maturity, it becomes the duty of every landed proprietor to plant for the sake of prospe rity. " Any oak in a good soil and situation," says South, a practical planter, " will, in seventy-five years from the acorn, contain a ton of timber, or a load and a half of square timber." By the report of the Commissioners of Land Revenue, respecting timber, printed by order of the House of Commons, it appears that a 74-gun ship contains about 2,000 tons, which, at the rate of a load and a half a ton, would give 3,000 loads of timber; and would consequently require 2,000 trees of seventy-five years growth. It has also been calculated that as not more than forty oaks, con taining a load and a half of timber in each, can stand upon an acre, fifty acres are required to produce the oaks neces sary for every 74-gun ship. " How in the world does it happen ?" said a gentleman to Wilkes, " that your brother Alderman, Brook Watson, who never sides with opposition on any other occasion, should join you in your late attack upon us poor attornies ?" " I should think the reason was plain enough ; don't you know how be was bit by one of you when he was young ?"—(he had lost his leg by a shark. ) Gentleman's Magazine. SING UL A 11.Cli A RGE.—A.:barrister,cwhose name did not transpire, applied on Monday atiGuildhall fora war rant against a solicitor under singular circumstances. From his statement it appeared that the clerk of another solicitor had called upon the accused to pay 1201., the amount due under a verdict, and had so paid it, and taken a receipt, when the accused and his clerks compelled him, by threats of violence, to drink three glasses of wine, which he be lieved had been drugged, for immediately afterwards he became stupified, whereupon the accused charged him with not having paid, or with having taken back the money, and gave him into the custody of a policeman, by whom he was taken to the station-house. but afterwards liberated. Sir John Key (the sitting Magistrate) thought a summons would be sufficient to secure the attendance of the accused, and refused to grant a warrant. The barrister said the solicitor was a man of bad repute in the profession, an , d ne if he did not attend the summons his &lent would have the trouble of making two applications instead of one. If he could not have a warrant he would not have anything.

The following Address was presented to the Queen at the Levee, on Wednesday, by Lord Kensington:— To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty,— We, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful suljects, the inha bitats of the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Hammer smith, and Fulham, in public meeting assembled, are desi rous of expressing our gratitude to your Majesty, for the de cidid manner in which you have been pleased to resist the recent attempts made by the Tories to impose conditions upon your Majesty—derogatory to your dignity—an in fringement upon your prerogative, and disrespectful as re gards your Majesty's personal comforts. For we are of opi nion that had not your Majesty thus resisted these unprece dented attempts—the rights of the people, as well as the prerogative of the Crown would have been alike trampled under foot, and the nation, in all probability, precipitated into the horrors of anarchy and civil commotion. We, therefore, for the tranquillity of the country, the prosperity of the people, and the safety of the Throne, most earnestly implore, that your Majesty will not place your confidence in any Ministers who do not pos sess the confidence of your people, and who are not deter mined to provide against these evils by a speedy removal of all the remaining obstructions to a full and fair representa tion of the people in the Commons House of Parliament. ( Signed) KENSINGTON, Chairman. THE CZAREVITSCH AND THE WELSH MSS. SOCIETY. We have to record one of the last munificent actions of his Imperial Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia, which took place only a few hours before his de parture from Mivart's hotel on Friday last, on occasion of an application from the Rev. Mr. Evans (the Secretary of the Welsh MSS. Society, in behalf of the Committee, for permission to place his Imperial Highfleas's name as a patron of the above Society, and explaining the laudable object it has in view —viz., the translating and publishing numerous Welsh MSS. which yet exist, containing matter both poetical and historical of great value and interest — and we subjoin an extract from the letter with which the honorary secretary was favoured, written by the Coon seillor Joukovsky by the command of the Czarevitsch Sir—His Imperial Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia has directed me to acquaint you that he accedes with much pleasure to the wish, expressed by the Society for the Translation an d Publication of Welsh MSS. that his name should be placed as a patron of the said Society, to whose la bours he wishes all the success which from their very in teresting nature they may fairly anticipate. His Imperial Highness has further directed me to inform you that he has ordered one hundred pounds to be placed at the dispo sition of the Society, to be employed by them for the ad vancement of their objects. For myself, Sir, I can only express my deep sense of the honour the Society would confer upon me, and I shall be proud of being associated with a body of gentlemen united for so laudable a purpose as that which the Royal Welsh Literary So ciety have in view.—l have the honour to' be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " JOUKOVSKY. _ " Mivart's Hotel, M a y 31, 1839." _ ___ The eminent writer of this letter is well known to be the Byron of Russia, as far as poetical genius is concerned , and is selected by the Emperor, for his superior learning and moral qualities, as the companion of the Grand Duke on his travels, and whose name will henceforth be enrolled among the Honorary Members of the Welsh Manuscripts' Society. POST-HORSE DUTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Will you permit me to state my hope, through your invaluable medium, that the Chancellor of the Ex' chequer will redeem his promise of benefiting the public by a reduction of the duty on post-horses, as well as of the postage, in his financial statement? It will be the only means of offering to the public any longer that most useful species of transit, as well as of saving a body of tradesmen , which has always been considered respectable, from utter ruin. The fact simply is, that the large establishments on the different lines of road throughout this country have for merly been erected, as every one knows, for the purpose of supplying the public with post-horses and tavern ac commodation. The Government most essentially availed itself of the capacious accommodations of the innkeeper, while it required them, in quartering soldiers on him during the war, to his imminent danger of being continually ruined, from his obligation to render such service to the State. A fiscal impost of 3d. a mile has for fifty years past been collected upon every pair of post-horses let for travelling; and until the competition sprung up in the steam-packets, a sufficient trade circulated to enable the innkeeper to satisfy his customer and the revenue ; but now, since rail roads have joined with the packets in cutting up his trade in toto, it is in my opinion cruel in the extreme that a re spectable class of men, with premises and establishments on a large and necessarily expensive scale, " who have borne the burden and heat of the day," as they have done, should now be doomed to the same melancholy prospect, which the incessant quartering of soldiers once threatened them with, on the account of their trade being loaded with such a ratio of Government impost, which not only does not in any such degree pervade any other mode of convey ance, but the exorbitant rate of which quite prevents Them from being able to afford that economical competition to the public which alone would insure them the possibility of" saving the remnant of their property from annihilation. I am, Sir, your very humble servant, May 31. A COUNTRY POSTMASTER. MI SERIOUS RIOT AT BURY. (From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday.) At n. very late JlD:iTlasr night, a fneaiefiger frAra—Bury arrived in this town, with a requisition from the magis trates of that town for a military force; the trumpet at the Cavalry Barracks sounded to horse about two o'clock. in the morning ; and a troo p of the 6th Dragoons ( Carabi .., - ncers) proceeded to Bury about three. Our Reporter states : " Last evening a riot of a disgraceful description oc curred in Bury. The circumstances under which it origi nated are, so far as we have been able to ascertain, as fol low :—ln consequence of the disturbed state of the district, ten of the A division of the metropolitan police, under the superintendence of Mr. Woodhouse, a sergeant of the M division, were sent down to Bury, to assist in pre serving the peace, at which place they arrived on Friday evening last. Their arrival soon became generally know" On Monday evening a great nnmber of persons congre, gated round their quarters, a house adjoining the Red Lion Inn, in the Wynd, near the Old Church ; but no disturbance then occurred. Last evening a similar crowd collected, and a little before eight o'clock three o f the policemen, who had been taking a walk round the town , were attacked as they passed through the crowd on their return by the mob, some of whons pushed from behind and the others in front kicked them. The policemen endea voured to persuade them to be quiet, when one of that kicked policeman Jonathan Ravenscroft, and the snob surrounded them all. The three policemen then took out their staves and endeavoured to snake their vol through, and took one man prisoner; but he was imree diately rescued. In the meantime the other policemen, who were in the house, seeing the disturbance, ran out to rescue their companions. They succeeded in reach ing Ravenscroft and Charles Wilson, but the other, J - Carnen, was obliged to take shelter in the shop of Sutcliffe, chemist and d rugg i s t, w h ence h e made his escape two hours afterwards, during all which tisne companions were app re h ens i ve t h at h e was kill e d. The mob collected and closed round them ; and the police, wi th their staves, drove them o ff t h ree or four times, and took two prisoners, who were conveyed into the house in whic h the police were themselves eventually obliged to take shelter. The mob used stones, which were thrown abou t very thickly, and several of the policemen were severely, but we are happy to say not dangerously, hurt. When the police got into the house, they fastened the door; but a number of men tried to push it open, and finding they could not succeed in that attempt, they threw stones et it, some of them of great size and weight, and nearly gained admittance. Four of the policemen stationed themselves at the door, and each fired a pistol ove r the heads of the people, which appeared to produce 1 10 effect whatever in checking the rioters. They then went up stairs, being apprehensiv e th a t th e d oor wou ld be forced in. Six of them fired again over the heads of the people, but still no effect was produc e d, an d th e stones came, if possible, faster than ever.
