THE NEW MINISTRY IN GREECE. ATHENS, AEG. 20, 1844.—The following proclama tion was issued yesterday by our new Ministry : " Ills Majesty has deigned to honour us with his confidence, in calling us to the direction of the affairs of the State. The circumstances are grave and critical ; but, trusting in Providence who has so many times succoured us,—full of confidence in the patriotism of which you have again given new proofs, your love of order and respect for the laws which characterise the Greek people, not less than your disposition to advance peaceably the social state of society—trusting in these, we have accepted the task. " We propose no thi ng w hi c h shall not be avowed; we announce plainly, and with sincerity, the spirit which shall direct us. We hate exclusiveness. Jus tice and Impartiality !--this is our motto. To exe cute religiously every portion of our valuable Consti tution ;—to apply rigorously our laws ;—to prefer for public offices those who have made sacrifices in the cause a independence, when accompanied by neces sary qualifications ;—to reward the honest, and to punish the guilty ;—to administer the strictest eco nomy which it will be possible to adopt :—these are what we propose. Having for our support in the accomplishment of this task the confidence of the King, and for encouragement your assistance and co-operation ; be assured, fellow-citizens, that with the aid of the Most High, our efforts for the pros perity of the country will be effectual; and that we shall ever have in view the dearest object of our hearts —the glory and the dominion of the constitutional throne of his Majesty Otho, our beloved monarch. " One of the duties which now devolves upon us we hasten to accomplish—that is to open the Chambers. " The President, J. COLETTI. KITSOS TZAVELLAS, A. METAXAS, Z. J. BALBI. " Athens, Aug. 19, 1844." BARONETAGE OF SCOTLAND AND NOVA SCOTIA. The general meeting of the Order took place in Glasgow on Thursday, the Bth August, the lion. Sir John Campbell, Baronet, in the chair, for the purpose, first, of receiving a report from Sir Richard Broun, of the steps taken since the year 1835 for the revival of the rights of the Order in the province of Nova Scotia as anciently bounded (which comprehends New Brunswick, Prince Edward's Island, Cape Breton, Gaspe, &c.), and of the circumstances which have oc curred to suspend these proceedings since October, 1842 ; 2(1, To sanction a renewal of negotiations with Lord Stanley, Colonial Minister, and with Sir W. Colebrooke, Lieutenant- Governor of New Brunswick, for grants of land to the Baronets whose creations are subsequent to 1637, and for new grants in lieu of those originally given for such concurring Baro nets as inherit titles of a prior date ; and 3d, To join in a specific course of action for substantiating the chartered rights of the body, and making them avail able for the national ends for which they were bestowed. After hearing the report read, and con sidering the correspondence opened with the Lieu tenant-Governor of New Brunswick, resolutions were passed to the effect, that the meeting received with satisfaction Sir R. Broun's report, which was ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the members of the Order, preparatory to another general meeting to be held at Edinburgh, for the consideration of a series of resolutions to be grounded upon the same. A vote of thanks was passed to Sir R. Broun for his valuable services to the Order, in raising and advancing the proceedings to their present state ; and also one to the Hon. Baronet who pre sided. Amongst the documents laid before the meeting were copies of Sir R. Broun's " Letter to Lord Stanley, explanatory of the charges made against the late British American Association," and of the petition presented to the House of Commons on the 24th of April last, praying for a Committee to inves tigate the same. There was also laid on the table a copy of Dr. Rolph's recent work on " Systematic Emigration and Colonization," dedicated, by permis sion, to Lord Stanley. The report made set forth, inter alia, that since the recent action, Lake v. the Duke of Argyll, legal proceedings have been adopted by Sir R. Broun against the proprietors of the Globe newspaper for libel, the issue of which, it was stated, would afford to the public an opportunity of judging as to the real character of the attacks upon the asso ciation made by the press. —Glasgow Chronicle. MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. - At Queen- square on Tuesday, Martha Boddington, alias Garrett, Eliza Harris, Eliza Smith, William Lear, and Edward Collins, were charged with being con cerned, with two others not in custody, in stealing a pianoforte, two chests of drawers, and other articles to a considerable amount, the property of the late Alfred Dark. The whole of the Hotel has undergone a thorough repair, and the bed-rooms are in first-rate condition.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dark said, my husband died, as I am informed, yesterday morning. I have not lived with him for the last eighteen months. He occupied a house at No. 3, York-place, Pentonville, where he resided with a girl named Eliza, whom he had met with in the country shortly after the time he had left me. I frequently saw my husband, who allowed me a sovereign a week for my maintenance, and I have seen the furniture in the house, which was his. I went to the house yesterday morning, but found it locked up. Yesterday evening I saw part of the furniture of my late husband at a beer shop, kept by a man named Boucher. I saw that furni ture safe in his house on Friday last. Cross-examined—l saw my husband last on Thursday afternoon. He said he was going into the country for a month, and gave me four sovereigns in advance of my allowance. My husband went into the country at the time he left me, seventeen months ago, for the benefit of his health, and he brought this girl, with whom he after wards lived, to London with him. I visited him at his house in York-place three times. I never saw the furni ture in his possession before. I saw it at that house six months ago. My hu s b an d was badly off when he left. / understand he was very ill in tile country. He was a baker, sometimes in work, sometimes out of work. I can't say that he has had a day's work for the last twelve months. I believe not. I called at his honse on Friday evening, but he was out. I then saw the pri soner, Eliza Smith, who openid the door to me. George Towel), of 55, Baldwin's-gardens —I knew the late Alfred Dark intimately, and have frequently been to his house in York-place. Yesterday morning I heard that he was brought into Westminster dead, and that he was brought to a house in a very mys terious manner. I immediately apprised his wife, and on finding his house shut up, and that the property had been removed, we went to the Bank and stopped some money that he had there. I went to a house in Orchard-street, where I saw the prisoner Lear and the female with whom Mr. Dark had been living. I told Lear that I understood Dark was dead. Lear told me that it was the body of another man that was in the house, and if I was a friend of Dark's I should say nothing about it, as some person had abused the female he was living with, and Dark bad knocked him on the head, and was keeping out of the way until it was all blown over, which would be in a month or two, when he would come back. In consequence of some suspicions I immediately went, accompanied by the in spector and another officer, to the house in Orchard street, and on going up stairs found the body of Mr. Dark; the prisoner Smith was in the room with it. Thomas Tunstall, a police-constable—l went last evening, in company with Inspector Moran, to No, 15, Orchard-street. In the front room on the first floor we found the body of a man. Prisoaers Lear and Boddington came into the room, and asked by what authority I was there. Collins then joined the party, and they became so boisterous that I sent down stairs for Mr. Moran. By his directions I took Lear to the station-house, and returned to the house. At Mr. Moran's request, Boddington pro duced a bundle of clothing, a gun in a case, and some other articles belonging fo the dec ease d. H arr i s t h en came into the room, and`Kaid that she had come there to see a man that had been shot, and wanted to know who it was. She was with the other prisoners taken into custody. William Boucher, of 4, Pear-street, who described himself as the conductor of a beer-shop, then proved that a roomful of goods had been brought into his house before he was up in the morning ; there was a piano and two chests of drawers, and a sofa, which the room s ould not hold, and which the police had taken possession of. Witness had been asked on Sunday evening by George Boddington (not in custody) to let him the room to pi some furniture in, and he had done so. NOTICE to PASSENGERS.—The QUEEN, D.

"It cost us 21 killed (four of whom were officers) of the Spahis, and 99 wounded. If we were to credit the accounts of the Arabs, the Marshal must have greatly underrated the truth in ann ounc i ng th a t th e enemy had only 800 killed. More recent intelligence, exaggerated no doubt by the natives, estimates the number of their killed at 3,000. The field of battle was literally strewed with dead bodies, which were on the folloWing day in a state of putrefaction —so much so, that the Marshal, to avoid the pernicious influence of the miasma produced by a heat of 45 degrees (centigrade), deemed it prudent to transfer his camp to the distance of a league—that is, four leagues to the west of Ouchdah. On the 15th he aban doned the Moorish camp, and ascended the Isly as far as Condiat Abderrahman. It was there Colonel Foy left him to embark in the Oronoque at Djemaa Gha zaouat, a small bay, where 500,000 rations for the army were committed to the keeping of the natives. f We captured upwards of 400 me t r i ca l qu i nta l s o gunpowder, cannon balls, grape-shot canisters, mus ket balls in great quantity, upwards of 1,000 horse shoes, and a large supply of flour. A portion of this article was distributed among the soldiers, and the rest sent to the Hospital of Lalla Magrania, by order of the Marshal. We also found a considerable pro vision of excellent tea, which our men now enjoy in the evening, at their bivouack. Upwards of 2,000 tents remained in our power, 300 of which were for warded to the camp of Lalla Magrania. Our soldiers converted the remainder into drawers. The Marshal was to embark on the 2d at Djemaa Ghazaouat, and return to Algiers, visiting on his way all our establish ments on the coast and Orleanville. He is expected at Algiers between the 15th and 20th." TOTNES. THE REV. J. SHORE. A meeting of a few of the friends of the Rev. James Shore was held on 'Wednesday evening, in the school room behind the Bridgetown Chapel, for the purpose of adopting measures to assist the reverend gentle man in resisting the unprecedented prosecution is sued against him by the Bishop of Exeter. About fifty persons attended, amongst whom were, John Derry, Esq., magistrate of the borough, Mr. Thomas Michelmore, Lieut. Boardman, R.N., Lieut. Lus combe, R.N., Mr. John Windeatt, Mr. F. B. Cuming, Mr. W. F. Windeatt, Mr. James D. Searle, Mr. Edwin Searle, of Longcomb, &c., &c. On the motion of Mr. T. MicnELmoaE, seconded by Mr. J. WINDEATT, Mr. Derry was unanimously called to the chair. He proceeded to state the objects of the meeting, and read a copy of the notice calling the same, which had been affixed at the chapel doors on Sunday last. After a few preliminary remarks from the chairman, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : Moved by Mr. BOARDAIAN, and seconded by Mr. J. IVINDEATT—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to his Grace the Duke of Somerset, for the kind and handsome manner in which he acceded to the wishes of the congregation attending the Bridge town Chapel, by securing to them the ministry of their valued pastor, the Rev. James Shore ; and for permitting his chapel to be opened for Divine service under the Toleration Acts, when he found, in conse quence of the unprecedented opposition of the Rev. Mr. Cousins and the Bishop of Exeter, it was the only means by which he could accomplish the desired objects of the congregation." Moved by Mr. LUSCOMBE, and seconded by Mr. J. SIII7TE—" That this meeting gladly avail them selves of the opportunity of expressing their unabated attachment to the Rev. James Shore, whose zeal in the performance of his ministerial duties, and high moral character, during his long residence among them, have earned for him the respect, gratitude, and affection of all classes of his hearers; and at the same time the meeting think it right to express their opi nion that the opposition offered to Mr. Shore, in a great measure arises from personal feeling, and is an unjust attempt to injure an unoffending man, and a faithful minister of Christ." Devil-to-pay to run for the !eive half the stakes should Jane Boucher, the daughter, was called, and said several people brought the things on Monday morning. Boddington and Lear were among the numbers. Mr. Wontner submitted that nothing whatever had been proved against his clients to justify their detention. There was no evidence to show that the furniture had ever been the property of the deceased ; and because the wife now came forward and pleased to set up a claim to it, everybody found at the house where the lady was had been taken into custody. Mr. BuunELL said the evidence respecting the pro perty was slight. lie wished to know whether anything could be said of the previous character of the prisoners. Mr. Moran said Lear and Bedding►ton were well known. TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY. ST. LEGER. Mr. BURRELL said he should remand the prisoners for a week, and, in the meantime, care must be taken of the property. On the application of Mr. Wontner, the magistrate consented to take bail for the appearance of the accused. In the course of the afternoon the worthy magistrate liberated four out of the five prisoners, on their putting in the necessary securities. 4 to 1 agst Mr. Salvin's The Cure—taken to nearly 3001. 9 to 2 agst Lord Stanley's Ithuriel—take 5 to 1 6 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Red Deer—t. to 1501. 8 to 1 agst Mr. J.

Since the discovery of the dead body of Dark, in Or chard-street, Westminster, under circumstances of a sus picious character, a report has got abroad, and ob tained general belief in the neighbourhood, that a crime resembling in its leading features the case of Mr. Weare, who was murdered by John Thur. tell, had been committed, and this impression has by no means subsided, although the case has undergone an investigation. The opinion of that portion of the detective police, who have looked into some cir cumstances connected with the case, and who are well acquainted with the characters, and of those who are unquestionably mixed up most intimately in the whole affair, points strongly to the conclusion that a deed of violence has been committed, and that a most searching investigation will only be able to draw the truth to light. A correspondent has sent us a number of particulars of Dark's life and proceedings, which go to justify the worst suspicions, but we forbear to publish them till they are narrated, if there be any foundation for them, in a court of justice, as they involve serious charges not only against the late Mr. Dark, but against his associates. Moved by Mr. F. B. CURSING, and seconded by Mr. E. SEARLE—" That, in addition to the injustice of the unprecedented persecution to which the Rev. James Shore is personally exposed by the Bishop of Exeter, this meeting cannot but view the course adopted by the Bishop as a fearful encroachment on the religious liberty of Englishmen, and an attempt to render use less the Toleration Acts, passed expressly to protect persons conscientiously seceding from the Established Church ; and that it is, therefore, the opinion of this meeting that the Rev. J. Shore, in resisting the at tack of the Bishop, is supporting the cause of reli gious liberty, and, consequently, is entitled to the aid of every one opposed to intolerance and persecution ; and that this meeting pledges itself to render him every legitimate support and assistance." Moved by Mr. J. E. SEARLE, and seconded by Mr: T. PARROTT—" That a committee be now formed, for the purpose of receiving and soliciting subscrip tions, and to determine as to the future plans to be adopted to carry out the opinion expressed in the last resolution ; and that such committee be empowered to correspond with any friends of civil and religious freedom in other towns and cities in England and elsewhere to solicit their co-operation for the same purpose ; and that such committee do consist of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their num bers : HINTS TO VISITING AND RELIEF SOCIETIES.— Having entered a poor person's dwelling, behave as if it were your own. 110 not wait to be asked to sit down. If you are a gentlemal, keep your hat on. Address the male occupant of the house as " My Good Man," and his wife as " My Good Woman ;" or if you find it necessary to assert your dignity, omit the " Good" altogether.

Insist en knowing exactly how much they give fur coals ; what quantity they burn ; and what becomes of the cinders? Find out their exact consump tion of potatoes, and whether they are economical in Faring them. Interrogate them with similar minuteness with respect to meat, Dread, cheese, butter, tea, coffee, vinegar, and pepper. Ask if their sugar is sixpenny or sever - Tem - I , y ; whether my of them take tobacco or snuff; and, especially, if they ever indulge in beer or spirituous liquors. Reprehend, sternly, the slightest excess or waste that you may detect in any of the above respects, and if the expenditure has not been limited to the merest necessaries, lecture them on it well. Ask when they go to bed ; at what time they get up ; at what hour they breakfast, dine, and sup Request to be allowed to look into their drawers and cupboards, to see what there is in them. Smell every bottle you find. Take notes of every pot, pan, kettle, cup, saucer, phial, and gallipot, in the house.

Boardman, R.N., Mr. Frans. B. Cuming, Lieut. Luscombe, R.N., Mr. Thos. Parrott, Captain Finch, Mr. James D. Searle, Mr. Sampson, Mr. Edwin Searle, Mr. Derry, Mr. J. D. Moysey." Mr. Derry having left the chair, Mr. T. MICHELMORE moved, and Mr. BOARDMAN seconded—" That the thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Derry, for his straightforward and wanly con duet In the chair;" which ryas briefly responded to by Mr. Derry. A subscription was immediately entered into, and before the meeting separated upwards of 501. was subscribed.— Western Times. A CONTRAST.—Rather more than fifty years ago, the sinking sun shone bright, one fine afternoon, on the stately tenements of Dumfries, and threw its slant rule of light athwart the principal street of the town. The shadows of the houses on the western side were stretched half-way across the pavement, while on the side oppo site the red beam seemed as if sleeping on jutting irre gular fronts and tall gables. There was a world of well dressed company that evening in Dumfries ; for the aristocracy of the adjacent country for twenty miles round had poured in to attend a county ball, and were fluttering in groups along the sunny side of the street, gay as butterflies. On the other side, in the shade, a soli tary individual paced slowly along the pavement. Of the hundreds who fluttered past no one took notice of him—no one seemed to recognise him. He was known to them all as the exciseman and poet, Robert Burns ; b`ut he had offended the stately Toryism of the district by the freedom of his political creed ; and so—tainted by the plague of Liberalism—he lay under strict qua rantine. He was shunned and neglected ; for it was with the man Burns that these his contemporaries had to deal. Let the reader contrast with this truly melan choly scene, the scene of his fe s ti va l a f or t n i g h t s i nce. Here are the speeches of the Earl of Eglinton and of Sir John and hero the toast of the Lord Justice General. Let us just imagine these gentlemen, with all their high aristocratic notions about them, carried back half a century into tho past, and dropped down, on the sad evening to which we refer, in the main street of Dumfries. Which side does the reader think they would have chosen to walk upon ? Would they have addressed the one solitary individual in the shade, or net rather joined themselves to the gay groups in the sunshine who neglected and contemned him ? They find it an easy matter to deal with the phantom idea of Burns now ; how would they have dealt with the man then ? How are they dealing with his poorer relatives, or how with men of kindred genius, their contemporaries ? Alas! a moment's glance at such matters is sufficient to show how very unreal a thing a commemorative feast may be.—Edinburgh IVitness. DEATH FROM CIIOKING.—Mr. Wakley, M.P., on Tuesday held an inquest at the Freemasons' Arms, Suf folk-street, King's-cross, on the body of Mary Ann Searle, aged 49. It appeared that the deceased, who had an asthmatic complaint, on Thursday last was sitting up in bed, when her husband offered her a cup of tea. She had drank some, and whilst drinking the remainder she was seized with a cough, became black in the face, and exhibited other symptoms of strangulation. A medical man was at once sent for, but before his arrival life was extinct. Verdict—" Natural death." s EXPERIMENTS ON SALMON.

FREEMASONRY. On Wednesday last the Grand Lodge of England was held in the small temple, under the presidency of the Earl Howe, the Deputy Grand Master, who officiated in the absence of the Earl •f Zetland, Grand Master. The attendance was unusually numerous, probably in consequence of a notice of motion to transfer the power of appropriating the fund of benevolence, at present vested by the constitutions in the Masters of Lodges, to a select Committee. After a very animated debate, the motion was negatived by an immense ma jority, there being, in fact, scarcely half a dozen in favour of it. An address to his Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, the protector of freemasonry in that kingdom, was unanimously carried. Much inconvenience was felt by so numerous an attendance in the small temple, and it was suggested that, at the December meeting, the Grand Lodge should always meet in the large hall. The Grand Lodge did not close until near twelve. HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. The first meeting for the autumn season was held on Tuesday afternoon, at the rooms in Regent-street, Colonel Fielding in the chair. Several new members were elected, amongst whom were the Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Saltoun, Sir F. Goodricke, and Sir W. Guise. The most prominent collection in the room was that of pine apples, one of which, from Mr. Mills, gardener to the Baroness de Rothschild, of Gunnersbury Park, weighed 1411b5., being the largest ever before exhibited ; a Providence pine was exhi bited from Mr. List, of East Barnet, which weighed 811bs., and another of 7lbs. from the same party; and the Marquis of Bath exhibited three globe pines, weighing Gibs. each. From the gardens of A. George, Esq., of Enfield, were some fine Muscat of Alex andria grape, w bunch of which weighed lib. 12oz. and there were some peaches and nectarines of good quality, notwithstanding the unfavourable nature of the season for this description of fruit. From the gardens of the Hon. Mr. Clive, at Oakley, were some new sorts of apples, amongst which was a Russian variety, called " the yellow transparent," and which in that country can be seen through like ice, a peculiarity which it does not possess here; and there was also exhibited from the gardens of a cottager at Platting, in Norfolk, a new seedling russet apple, which ap peared to have the desideratum of being a good keeper. From Lieut. Tilley there was shown a very interesting series of demonstrations in vegetable ana tomy, which excited much commendation. The exhibition of flowers, although small, contained a good many specimens of considerable interest, amongst which were some orchidaceous plants from Sir P. G. Egerton, Mr. Rollison, Mr. Hen derson (of Pine Apple-place), Mrs. Marryatt, &c. Amongst the miscellaneous collections were some admired specimens of fuchsia from Mr. Lane, of Great Berkhampstead, and a series of the same plants in the cultivation of which ten different manures were applied, the effects of which were at once per ceptible. The prizes awarded were the large silver medal to Mr. Mills, for his pine apple ; Banksian medals to Mr. Henderson, gardener to the Marquis of Bath, for globe pine apples ; Mr. Corbyn, for a fine specimen of Lilium aucifolium with white flowers ; and Mr. Parsons, for Muscat of Alexandria grapes; and certificates of merit to Mr. Jones, for peaches ; the cottager at Platting, for apples ; Mr. Don, for a fire specimen of achitnenes ; and Mr. Redding, for gusmania tri-colour. The extract from the Meteorolo gical Register kept at the gardens, from 6th August to 3d September, gave—barometer, highest, Septem ber 1, 30 376 inch.; lowest, August 14, 29.331.

NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.—The preparations for the construction of that part of the line adjoining Ber wick have been going on rapidly for some time. Since our last, the Beehive and other two vessels have arrived from Stockton, with cargoes of implements for the work, consisting of barrows, trucks, iron rails, &e., the conveyance of which through the town to the dif ferent parts of the line, has excited considerable interest. We understand that about 100 men will be set to work upon Lamberton Moor immediately, and stables for the accommodation of the horses are commenced to be built at Marshall Meadows, about three miles from Berwick, —Berwick Warder, BETTS'S PATENT CAPSULED BRANDY.

With lovers of game we have long had a Name, For Shooting-coats famously made; And to none will we y field, in Coats for the Field, Whose worth is so choicely display'd. A sportsman with these has exquisite ease, And fashion becoming his station; And the Coats may be worn, any evening or morn (At: excellent recommendation). Then please to remember the First of September (As thousands of sportsmen bave done); And quickly resort (as every one ought), To the Warehouse of MO SES and SON. N.B. For E. Moses and Son's Chronicles of Costumes, from 1645 to 1844, see " Railway Bell"of Saturday, Aug. 31, 1844.

' GIME CERTIFICATES. —W' are given to under stand that parties are in the !shit of not paying the duty upon game certificates wlen they obtain receipts from collectors, but retain the money until payment of their first half-year's assessed axes. For this we learn they are liable to a penalty e 51., and a second penalty of 20/. for every day they spot where the duty has not been paid to the collector ; a ante at the foot of the re ceipt will show, so far as respets the latter penalty. We understand too, that collectors run a risk in conse quence of this practice ; as, if 1 party who had not paid the duty should become insolent, the collector has no remedy, becuse he ,had no I%al right to give credit, and, therefore, would be holm to pay the duty himself.

TO THE WORKING MEN OF NORWICH. Permit me to address a few lines to you on the sub ject of machinery. They come from one who has to contend with it; one influenced by the same hopes and the same fears as yourselves ; in short, a working man, but one who has devoted the whole of his leisure, for the last seven years, to the attentive study of wages, and the causes which influence them, one way or another. I assure you, men of Norwich, that my feelings towards you, at present, are of a strange nature ; I cannot find language to describe them— deep regret, almost giving way to indignation and contempt, to think that thousands of my fellow workmen should congregate, for the purp ose of yelling----brutally, savagely yelling —at what ? a corpse! Fit result from such leaders as you have believed and trusted in ; one who misled the true hearted, but hot-headed Welsh exiles, calumniating and denouncing, as moral force humbugs and cowards, those who foresaw and tried to prevent the fatal ten dencies of his exciting language ; and the same per son, now leading you astray, has the impudence to tell you that he always advocated moral force alone ! The second of your advisers was imprisoned as a debtor. The third was voted by the House of Com mons, a calumniator ! Truly, are you choice in your advisers, and the tree bears appropriate fruit. Howl ing at dead men ! Not only is this a disgrace to the working men of England, but a foul stain upon humanity. Such conduct recoils with a fatal force upon ourselves. It gives our opponents a lever which they know full well how to use, while, at the same time, it damps the ardour of our best and most effec tive friends. I have told you, that the leisure of the last seven years has been devoted to the study of wages. I en treat your attention and reflection to a few remarks, regarding the influence of machinery upon them. The question might he asked, what constitutes machinery ? Without stopping to exardile this point, I beg: to explain that I adopt the pOpular idea (although an erroneous one), namely, steam power. It would not be possible to come to a sound conclusion, in such a case, without e x a m i n i ng i nto t h e rate of _wages, previously to the i n t ro d uc ti on o f the steam- engine as a great producing power. Should wages have been greater at the period anterior to this, and as the powers of steam became developed had wages proportionably declined, such events would have been strong presumptive evidence that machinery did ac tually reduce wages. But if it could be proved that, for a long time previous to the introduction of steam power, and up to the very season of it coming into existence, the wages were at the lowest ebb; and that, as the wonderful engine extended its capabilities, so, in like proportion did wages increase; surely, then, machinery could not be regarded as the cause of de clining wages. Rather, the same principles which reduced our forefathers to toil and penury, is now at work; pulling us down to the same degrading level; while we, by our fatal delusions and ferocious pre judices, are doing all we can to strengthen this deadly enemy. The first proof I shall offer to your consideration will be from an author who is looked upon with respect by every enlightened mind in the civilized world; he is known to be, with regard to facts, .most scrupulously correct. It i s f rom Smith's celebrated work on the " Wealth of Nations." Here is , the ex tract :—" Eighteenpence a day may be reckoned -the common price of labour in London and its neighbour hood. At a few miles distance it falls to fourteen and fifteenpence. Tenpence may be reckoned its price in Edinburgh. At a few miles distance it falls to eight pence, the usual price of common labour through the low country of Scotland, where it varies a good deal ess than in England."—(Book 1., chap. viii.) I would anxiously entreat my fellow 'workmen's attention to the above extract. Let them be aware, that this was the rate of wages just previously to the steam- engine coming into operation, as a great pro ducing power. My father, who is now alive, has a perfect recollection of this state of things. 'When he was a boy the weavers received, if possible, less wages than they do at present ; and other trades most de cidedly less ; in many cases, not above one-half the present rate. - I dwell upon this, being desirous, above all things, that the suffering artisan should be attracted from the false scent which he now pursues. Yes, my coun trymen, the t wo l eec h-lik e powers sucked from the labouring classes, in those days of no machinery, all that should have rendered life desirable, leavitig nought but toil, and wherewith to continue the miserable race. The same principles are new at work, and we, by every stumble we make, or erroneous conclusion we come to, tend but to increase their strength. how anxiously, then, ought every working man to devote a little of his leisure to a calm and temperate reflec tion as to what is and what is not an agent of oppres- sion on his class. You may imagine, in those days, that food and clothing, &c., were proportionably cheap. Such, however, was not the case; the quar ter of wheat, which fetches now about 50s. then ave raged upward s o f 4 0s. ; while clothing oievery deft scription was much more expensive than now. The first thing which materially disturbed this shocking deadness —which for a time loosened the bloodsuckers from the industry of the nation —was the application of steam power to the spinning -of cotton. This at once reduced the price of yarn, so that goods could be produced at an amazingly lees cost; while, at the same time, the wages of the fabri cators of those goods were four, five, six, and, in many cases, ten times the amount previously earned by them. Ultimately, all trades were affected and bet tered by this same cause; rent and money powers were for a time confused; they could not fix upon us ; but by cool watching, and legislative influences, at last they got hold, and now, providing we wake not from our fatal delusions, the same principles which reduced our forefathers to pauperism, will absorb every advantage which the beneficent steam-engine has given to us. I had intended to have shown how the introduction of machinery, at first, had a tendency to hurt us, and that the remedy rested with ourselves, and ourselves alone ; but I find my space filled up. Should this meet favour, I may yet endeavour to do so. In conclusion, then, I compare machinery to a grand river; in spring tide overflowing its banks, enriching and beautifying the soil, while on its mag nificent bosom float the barques which spread nature's blessings over the wide, extended earth. This same river, yielding so many benefits, reviving a fainting and weary nation, may still, at, times, burst through its boundaries, committing havoc and devastation. This is not to be avoided by drying it up or shun ning it, but by a cool, calculating examination into its weak parts, with a resolute determination, at the same time, to strengthen them when they are discovered. Most respectfully, A TIN-PLAIE WORKER. _ _ 3,1 E _ .OST.XTRAORDINAT TASTE. A bricklayers' iabourer, at Norwich, some time ago, took a strong liking to black beetles, or cockroaches, which he eats with great gusto. His usual breakfast is a penny loaf and some twenty Or thirty cockroaches, if he can catch as many, which he eats as he would shrimps, but with out being cooked or shelled ! He says they aro a great dainty, and the flavour excellent. DEA TIE FROM 0 FER-EXERTION. , --On Tuesday, Mr. William Baker, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Black Horse, in the Kingsland-road, on the body of Joseph Peachy, forty-nine years of age. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was a coal porter but had for some time past been in very distressed cir cumstances, arising from the want of employment, and unable to procure the common necessaries of life. Oi Monday morning he obtained a job of unloading some coals in John-street, Hoxton, and, whilst carrying a sack into the house, he suddenly fell down, and before medi cal assistance could be obtained he expired. The sur geon attributed death to the rupture of aeabrlisliooietydy vessel, caused by over-exertion in his debilitated state and want of strength. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.

Mr. Quain, house surgeon, stated that the deceased was brought to the hospital on Wednesday last in a cab. She complained of a pain in her back, which she said had seized her on the previous day. At that time she had symptoms of fever different from that of ordinary fever, and such as were not generally observed in that disease. Her body was covered with a rupture similar to small-pox. She died in thirty-six hours after her admission. Her dis ease baffled him and the other physicians. In conse quence of a report that she had been poisoned he opened the body, but could not detect the cause of death. It was quite a new form of disease. In his opinion death ensued from the diseased condition of her blood. Mr. Wakley severely censured the sister for having circu lated a report that deceased had been poisoned, but for which report no inquest would have been held. The sister said that, as the deceased's disease had baffled the skill of I)rs. Quain and Williams, she suspected that the deceased might have been poisoned. Verdict—" Natural death." ELOPEMEET FROM NEW YORK.—Quite a sensation incidents in real life, now and then sprin g u p t o was created yesterday afternoon by one of those rormattie which relieve the monotony of this somewhat dull world of ours, it having been discovered that a daught er of a, baker bad eloped with a s t ur d y Dutch tahl);iateur of loaves and l a di es ; t h e i ntelli ,. genrein certain a n l a v w a r s eeaa p li olitely communicated to the police by the lady's father, and a pursuit was p rompt l y commenced, but how it will terminate is yet in a state of uncertainty. The bereaved parent is inconsolable for the loss of his daughter, and vows that h e w ill never take the " flying Dutchman," but th e p o li ce will, and looks u p on t h e whole affair as the most notable that has occurred since the arrival of the news that the Dutch had taken Hol land. The incident is so rich and rare, the result will bo looked for with interest.—New York Herald, Aug. 9. , 1.11/1.1.1, COllll,l Ul ,Ullllllll. --..........------. VICTORIA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.
