The Sugar Bill is to be brought forward on Friday, the 24th inst., and I call on all Members of the House to give the matter only one moment's reflection, and they will agree with the Chancellor, that it is an important question. The consumers should now have cheaper sugar, parti cularly as the revenue can afford the trial, and the re venue may benefit by the change, which would give us a large amount from the produce of countries which now give nothing. Why should not the poor man have his sugar for fourpence, instead of sixpence or sevenpence per pound? And the sugars of all nations would be required—of course, a foreigner paying a higher duty than our own colonies. Indeed, our own colonies should only pay a nominal duty of Is. or 2s. per cwt., and not make a chief requisite of life the mode of obtaining so large an amount of revenue, for it is felt chiefly by the poor. But to the point. Lord John Russell has given notice of his amend ment on the question, which will not even be listened to. But I warrant him, that if he will read this, and call to his aid all his machinery, he will carry his measure, and receive the support of every interest—colonist, foreigner, the trade, shipowner, and, in fact, every trade. Let him give immediate notice, and there is ample time for all to show if they do not take this view of the measure. He cannot carry his present amendment—it injures too many interests, and will scarcely be noticed. When you wish to carry an important point, let every interest derive advantage from the change—injure none, and you do away with - opposition. I am practically experienced on the point, and never SAW a better opening. Sugar reduced from sixpence to fourpence per pound for the poor man, will increase the consumption of Ireland and Scotland materially, where they scarcely see it now. Even the cattle may be fed on molasses at the duty I propose ; and as the consumption is so great in India and the islands pro ducing it, so will it be here, if they can get three pounds for one shilling, instead of two pounds. The adultera tion would be done away with, which is said to be (in the last price -current) 100 tons per week in London — thus injuring the article it is mixed with and also the revenue. Why is the consumption of sugar only the same now that it was fifteen years ago, and the popula tion 15 per cent. more ? Because the price is the same and adulteration going on to a great extent, and the question of duty always on the lapis. The produce of the British possessions this year will be 200,000 tons, which we should use with no change of duty, and thus the revenue, with all sweets, would be 5,500,0001. Next year the produce of India will be greater, and of Mauritius, owing to the import of hill coolies there. And why cramp our West India colonies and prohibit them being sent there. Demerara, Ja maica, and all our islands, would thrive if free emigra gration was allowed, and why prohibit it any more than from this country to all the world ? Appoint Govern meat Emigration Officers, as in this country, to license and inspect emigration ships, and the people would go into a land of comfort, and be brought in many instances to Christianity ; at any rate, would be more useful members of the community, and likely to improve. See the vast increase in all trades by such a measure. Why grant the boon to one colony, and not to all ? This would be the grand death-blow to slavery and the slave trade. _ _ I propose that Lord John Russell gives notice at once, and thus give timely notice to the country and his friends that the consumer be considered, as the revenue can afford the trial, and may gain instead of lose, if hot in sugar, by the increased consumption of other articles. It is a grand trial, and may be the means of giving future Ministers the power of raising two or three millions of revenue with much ease. We now pay the War duty, and we ought to see it changed. Propose that the duty be reduced on— British plantation to 101. per ton, would give .Z 2,000,000 Foreign do. to 30/. per ton-60,000 to 70,000 tons would be required this year; say 50,000 at 301. ......... .. ........................ 1,500,000 British do.

BRUSSELS, MAY 12.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will stay for about a month in the environs of Bc.rne, with her sister the Grand Duchcss Anne (wife of the late Grand Duke Constantine, from whom s!ie was separated), whom her Royal Highness has not seen since 1818, when she came to England to marry the Duke of Kent. The King, who left the railway station yesterday morning at a quarter past ten, arrived at Namur at half past twelve, and at his scat at Ardenne at five o'clock. - The Theodore sailed on the 15th from St. Thomas's, with 128 passengers and previsions for three months. At the beginning of the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives to-day, the Minister of Finance pre sented a project of law for re-imposing the duty of excise on all employed in the m a n u f ac t ure o f c h eese in tended for exportation. It was sent to the sections for examination. In a preceding sitting the several Members expressed a desire to know what had been the result of the law of the 6th April, 1843, forth) prevention ofsmuggling. The Minister of Finance gave some explanation, from which it appeared that smuggling has become more difficult since the law has been in force. The Chamber, after a long debate, rejected by a ma jority of 51 to 27, the motion of M. Delahaye, to delay the vote on the commercial question till the Government shall have presented some further information respect ing its views, AMSTERDAM, MAY 15.—This morning, at half-past four o'clock, his Majesty the King arrived here by a train from the Hague.

THE HAGUE, MAY 15.—The Queen, accompanied by Prince Alexander Henry, set out to-day at noon for Soetsdyk. Their Majesties are expected to return about the end of the week. PADERBORN, MAY 10.—Yesterday evening there were deplorable disorders in the town of Gesecke, in our neighbourhood. Between eight and nine a mob col lected and attacked the houses of the Jews residing there, all of which, except one, were, more or less, damaged. It does not appear that any person suffered violence. It is said that the cause of this act of Vandal ism was, that a venerable priest at Gesecke had received an anonymous letter, with the post-mark "Paderborn," which contained, not only the greatest insult to himself, but such scandalous abuse of the Roman Catholic Church, and of everything sacred to the Roman Catho lics, that we refrain from repeating it. The contents were speedily known in Gesecke, and the letter was imme diately ascribed to the Jews. This excited great indig nation against the Jews, when it was resolved to chastise them, and hence deplorable excesses were committed. An investigation into this business is now going on, which, we suppose, will throw some light on it. SALE of MR. JEREMIAH HARMAN'S COLLECTION OF PICTURES. On Saturday the sale of the pictures which formed this valuable collection was resumed and terminated. As on the first day's sale, the 4 -mat room of Messrs. Christie and Man son, in King-street, St. James's, was crowded to suffocation by company, and all ingress at the door was, after the com mencement of the day'sfsale, totally impossible. The most valuable pictures were sold on Saturday and produced very good prices ; indeed, one or two of them brought prices al most unprecedented ; thus proving that a taste for what is really good in art has not deteriorated in this country, and that works of the highest class are almost like bank-notes and will always command a real value in the market. The proceeds of the sale on the first day amounted in round num bers to about 9,0001., the proceeds of the sale on Saturday to about 17,000/. or 18,0001., making the whole produce nearly 27,0001. for 115 pictures.

DUBLIN, Mir opens on Wednesday next. It is considered probable that the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench will deliver judgment on the following day, Thursday, upon the new trial motion. There is no doubt that the Court have determined not to hear counsel on the part of the traversers, in reply to the Attorney-General, on the new cases introduced in the argument by the Crown. It is understood that Chief Justice Pennefather has prepared a very elaborate judgment, stating at length his reasons for re fusing a new trial, and defending those portions of his charge to the jury which have been so strongly animadverted upon by the counsel for the traversers. ' The Conservatives still - assert, very confidently, that the Court will be unanimous in refusing a new trial, unless in the case of the Rev. Mr. Tierney. In that event, the argument on the motion for arrest of judgment would be iu progress at the close of the next week. OAKS. April Noddy and the Moor-Hen filly were backed at 20 to 1 each ; the other favourites as before. PERFORMANCES OF THE FAVOURITES. The UGLY BUCK, b c by Venison, out of Monstrosity; Mr. J. Day's.

The ramifications of this system extend to various counties, and new disclosures are made almost daily. The inquiries re specting the police villanies in the Queen's County is still in progress at Dublin Castle, and more policemen are said to be implicated. The Tipperary Vindicate , ' of this day contains the following :—" urther evidence is forthcoming of the nefarious plot concocted to entrap the unsuspecting people in the meshes of crime. The charges are not confined to Ogle, Lyndon, and Parker—others are said to be deeply implicated in the foul and hideous conspiracy, to get up prosecutions, and trade on the liberties and lives of the innocent. It is confidently stated that since the accession of the present Go vernment to office, a great portion of the police force has be come tainted with the morbid appetite of transporting and hanging inoffensive men for rewards. That this is the fault of the Executive would plainly appear from the observations made in the House of Lords by the Marquis of Normanby, on Tuesday night, when calling for an investigation into Stipen diary Grey's case. Be this as it may, we have now to inform our readers that two other police constables, named O'Leary and Cantrill, have been brought up to Dublin within the last few days, and that they are undergoing an examination into a series of charges preferred against them by Revington, who seems to have rejoiced in the peculiar confidence of the con coctors of plots against the people." NEW STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE. Mr. H. Pollock has been appointed stipendiary magistrate at Thurles, in the room of Mr. Grey, whose dismissal formed the subject of debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday.

ME ALBERT DOCK AT LIVERPOOL.—The work at and surrounding this dock, under the able superintendence of the dock surveyor, is now proceeding with almost incre dible rapidity. The warehouses are several stories high, and the form of the dock itself can now be distinctly seen. THE FINALE OF PRE i',,IcTORY DEBATE. (From the _examiner ) The defeat of Lord Ashley's amendment by the large ma jority of 158 is no triumph of principle, no sign that on un proved knowledge and reflection the error of the former votes on the same question has been discovered and corrected ; it is merely the result of subserviency to the Ministry, whose existence is preferred to all other objects and considerations. There is a majority for imposing restrictions on labour, and for confiscating a portion of the capital invested in mills ; but those who would not scruple to overthrow our manufac turing system are restrained by the fear of upsetting an Ad ministration. The principles, if the name be given to them, are under suppression, but their bias will probably appear before this Parliament is dissolved, and in that case the great Conservative rally and triumph will have given the first representative to doctrines worthy of Jack Cade, and breaking in at once on the rights both of industry and pro perty. - The division of Monday night will not remedy any of the mischief that has been done by the preceding votes; it will not put down or discourage the Short Wages agitation. The delusion is now fixed in the minds of a large portion of the work-people, and the cruelty is done which cannot be undone, of adding an unreal cause of discontent to a lot which is hard enough without imaginary grievances. The notion has been sanctioned that Parliament can regulate wages, that it can abridge labear without diminishing the remuneration for it, and this insane idea will spread through all the provinces of industry. Sir Robert Peel, in his masterly speech on Monday night, produced an example of the working of the delusion— " Here is a circular issued by a body as important as the workers in cotton factories, The Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland.'—(Hear, hear.) They make these demands.—e Hear, hear,' from Mr. Ferrand.) To which, it appears the Hon. Gentleman, of course consistently upon his principles, is prepared to yield, but to which I am not. They are urged, however, upon the same principles as those on which we are now appealed to ; and, if the presumption be that those who are employed know best their own inte rests, of course our yielding in the present case would but provide a precedent for repeated concessions to all similar demands in future periods.—(Hear, hear.) This, then, is the address of the turned-out miners; they enumerate their grievances, and thus enunciate their proposed reme dies We ask, yea, we would say, demand, first, these boons, as the redress of those grievances —first, we wish to work eight hours per day and no more—(Assenting cheers) —secondly, we wish to receive 4s. a-day wages—(Laughter, andllear, hear)—thirdly, we wish to be,paid weekly—(Hear, hear)—fourtkly, we wish to be united for our security.' Friends and fellow-countrymen, we now appeal to your sympathy, and ask you, in the name of justice, whether to be buried in the caverns of the earth, inhaling the most noxious air for eight hours a-day, be not enough ?'—(Loud cries of 'Hear, hear.') Whatever is morally wrong, cannot be pelitically right.—(Laughter from the supporters of the Ministry, cheers from others.) We ask you is 4s. a-day too much for digging out of the bowels of the earth so useful a commodity as coal, our lives all the while in the most immi nent peril—(Hear very moment threatening us with the most honllble death—(Hear)—and no provision for our wives and children?'" It is remarkable that, throughout the debates on the Fac tory question, not a syllable has been said in defence of the millowners' rights against the proposed confiscation of a sixth of their properties. It seems as if it had been agreed that if reducing the hours of work would improve the condition of the operatives, the improvement should be effected at the cost of the capitalists. No one protested against robbing Paul if it could be made certain that Peter could get twelve hours' pay for his ten hours' work. _ _ _ For nights the discussion was, whether wages would or would not fall with diminished production, as if upon a con clusion in the negative a clear case would have been made out for taking from the millowners a sixth of their profits, or for ruining many of them altogether. Mr. M. Milnes, indeed, remarked with infinite coolness that, if Lord Ashley's amendment were carried, the manu facturers would make up for the shortened time by improved machinery, as if the millowner could afford to provide him self with now machinery as an idle gentleman purchases a trinket or piece of furniture of a new fashion. The machi nery in many factories has cost more than a hundred thou sand pounds, and would require as large an outlay to substi tute improved machinery for that which legislative restric tions had made unequal to the remunerating production. Manufacturers cannot all afford to be in the newest fashion of machinery; their means of refurnishing their mills do not keep pace with mechanical improvement ; and hence the greater number of factories are now worked with inferior machinery, which would be utterly inadequate if there were a further reduction of the working hours. To tell these pro prietors that they must make up for shorter time by im proved machinery would be much the same as advising a man who complained of the sacking of his house that he could set it all right by employing a fashionable upholsterer. If some of these fine gentlemen who talk so glibly of fac tories would take the trouble to go and look at one, they would find that its machinery was not to be thrown aside and renewed as easily as a toothpick. Lord Howick advocates the Short Wages project as a check to the too eager pursuit of wealth : "If a too eager pursuit of wealth put to hazard the moral condition of the people and impeded their moral improve ment, that pursuit it was the duty of Government to mode rate. The people should not be allowed to follow the pursuit of wealth to the neglect of still higher objects." He would impoverish spinners, weavers, and millowners f or their moral advantage. Ile is shocked that people in earning ten shillings a week neglect higher objects than money-get ting, and accordingly he would mulct them of a sixteeth of their little incomes, to give them leisure for moral cultiva tion, which it is absolutely certain will occupy the time hitherto devoted to work. We are quite ready to admit that there is too eager a pur suit of wealth in this country, but the factories are not more forward in the chase than the shop, the counting-house, the bar, and every profession and vocation that can be named ; and we cannot think it within the province of thejLegislature to contrive checks to this propensity, as, amongst other ob jections, there will always be danger of its destroying the livelihood of people in the attempt to control the excess of industry. There are lawyers who work their brains and lungs for sixteen hours a day, and who kill themselves by so doing ; but the Legislature would hardly pass a Bill appoint ing inspectors of chambers and courts, and prohibiting at tendance in them for more than ten or twelve hours a day. The correction of the pursuit of Mammon to the neglect of higher objects is the proper business of the Church, whose heads so forcibly illustrate the scriptural precept that riches are the root of all evil, by insisting that bishops cannot main tain their respectability without incomes of many thousands a-year, and that 150,000/. a• year is an inadequate sum for twenty six prelates.* But throughout the Short Wages argument there is the assumption that the factory work-people are in a worse mental and bodily condition than persons of the same classes in other employments, which is utterly false. They are better fed, better clothed, better lodged, better educated, and more moral than the rural labourers ; and if they have not the advantage of working in the open air, they are, on the other hand, spared the rheumatisms and other ailments re sulting from exposure to wet and the vicissitudes of weather. Mr. Charles Buller, indeed, asks— " Could any Hon. Member deny that labour protracted to the period of twelve hours a-day did not greatly interfere, and was inconsistent with the moral improvement, education, and well-being of the people who were subjected to it?" The condition of the factory population is the practical denial of the question; and if the labour which is proved to be accompanied with the greatest demoralisation, the densest ignorance, and the worst diet and lodging, is to be put under Parliamentary regulation, it is that of the rural population that the landowners in Parliament should commence-their experiments upon, by some Bill for improving the labourer's state by the confiscation of a sixth of the landlord's estates. If the factory work- people are deficient in morality, educa tion, and the comforts of the poor, let us be told in what other province of labour the advantages wanting in their case are to be found. Are we living in the midst of a moral, educated, and prosperous populace ? What is it that we see all around us ? As Mr. C. Wood remarks, " the greatest amount of depravity and vice is displayed in the haunts of the greatest poverty," and to make the poor poorer is the proposal of Lord Howick, by the arbitrary confiscation of a sixth of their property in their industry. The truth is almost confessed that there is no peculiar oc casion for interference with factory labour, except that it is so easy—that they present so inviting an opportunity for meddling. As an idle boy throws a stone at a bird or beast, not from any provocation or but simply because it had the ill luck to offer so fair a mark, legislators have their fling at factories because they are such broad objects for interference. We must except, however, one special argument of Mr. C. Buller— pd e o e l ln etdme a r o e • r " He referred to the necessity—the absolute importance, of keeping the two sexes to their own distinct and proper pro vinces. —(Cheers.) A master manufacturer had put forth a statement on this subject. What was that statement with regard to the proportion of men and women employed in the manufacturing districts ? Why, in the large town of Manchester it was stated that of the labouring portion of the population employed in the factories three-fifths were females and two-fifths were males ; as three to two.—(Hear, hear.) That was a great evil, requiring certainly legislative interference." This logic is borrowed from the Duke of 'Wellington. The absolute importance of keeping the two sexes in their proper provinces is asserted, it being assumed at the same time that spinning and weaving and piecing slender threads are in the indisputable province of male labour, and that women are as much out of place in such employments as at the forge or plough. This point being so summarily settled, it is next found that the women in factories are to the men in the pro portion of three to two, and that, declares Mr. C. Buller, ex cathedra, is a great Al. But how, in what respect a great evil ? If Mr. C. Buller will look about him he will find that the women employed in rubbing and scrubbing, in private houses, are in more than the proportion of six to one males, and to his polite horror he will find that in the immense majority of houses no man is employed, women blacking shoes, brushing clothes, cleaning knives, besides sweeping, bed-making, roast ing and boiling, and all the rest of a household drudgery.

If Mr. C. Buller could, as he wishes, turn the women out of the factories, where would they find those " proper pro vinces" to which he is so anxious to confine them 7 Some might get into the domestic drudgery, which they are so glad to quit for factory employment; more would be thrown into the workhouse, and many would fall to prostitution. Is the workhouse or the brothel a more suitable province than the factory ? Mr. Hawes is too intelligent and too honest to deny that short wages must be the consequence of short work ; but he is for imposing the restrictions as a way in his view of get ting rid of the corn restrictions. But how? There is but one way in which such an effect can be produced, namely, , by so damaging the manufacturing interests that for deliver : employment improvedered factory,a nd ance from sheer ruin they must snake a struggle of des- • Ecclesiastical Report of 1835. Aeration for the abolition of the corn-laws. To do this evil that good may come of it seems to us as little corism zit with prudence as with sound morality. The mischief Nfohid 1)e certain, but not so sure the expected remedy. And what right has a legislator to take from the poor operatives a sixth of their littl e incomes, and from the mill-- owners the same portion of their profits, that through their sufferings a certain reform may be brought about ? Other supporters of Lord Ashley's proposal believe, or pretend, that the work-people would not be the losers by it, that wages would not be reduced ; but Mr. Ilawes does not countenance the delusion which induces the operatives to pray for re strictions, and he would find few indeed of the youngest and least reflecting among them to consent to his scheme for bringing about the abolition of the corn-laws by cutting off a sixth of their wages. Lord Howick, who is always consistent, as he proposes to diminish the production of our cotton mills, endeavours to reconcile us to such a result by showing that it would not materially affect our foreign trade. The rise in the price of the article his Lordship thinks of little consequence, as " Any practical merchant would tell them that, if a cargo of cotton goods was sent to Ric, it was not the price which, determined whether the speculation would be a profitable or a losing one. if he was forced to pay a heavy premium for a bill of exchange, the consignment might be a losing business ; whereas, if he paid a lees premium, and received only the same price for his goods, the speculation might be a profitable one." It would.be well for Lord Howick to bring this doctrine to the test of experiment. Let him, for example, send a cargo of British brandy to Bordeaux, or a consignment of velvet to Lyons, and upon such ventures he will ascertain whether the premium of exchange is the main element or a very secondary one in the profits of foreign trade. If we send a dearer article to a foreign mai.% it is the same thing as sending one not in demand, and our coti.xt, raised in price, would be as much aasdoruurg mitbran dy,N p ve e l t g i r o , n or Vi ca lt m it i he c ill chea th p o e F r r Ai onc n i e i r m ic a a r n ke ii i. rticle Lord Howick instructs us to look to imports only as the essential of foreign trade. In Swift's advice to servants the same economy is taught, all the servants being admonished to swell the bills in their respective departments for their master's honour, the butler to order in as much wine as possible, the cook as much meat, the coachman the greatest possible quantity of hay and corn, without troubling their heads about the payment. A spendthrift, who must have had a glimpse of the same principles, used to say that he reckoned his yearly . income by casting up his bills. These were the imports, in his view, payment for them the export, which he thought quite im material. Carrying out the doctrine of Lord Howick to its extreme conclusion, if, instead of reducing manufacturing production a sixth, it were destroyed altogether, the foreign trade would be nearly as prosperous as ever, or, to use his own word, the inconvenience would be small. We confess that we rather incline to the opinion of Sir R. Peel, that importation and exportation are of equal import ance, and that we cannot receive commodities in our ports without sending out something in payment of them, unless, indeed, we adopt the economy of Swift's servants or the spendthrift. FATAL OCCURRENCE.-THREE LIVES LOST. Last night, between eight and nine o'clock, the most painful excitement was produced in the neighbourhood of London bridge and Fresh-wharf; in consequence of a distressing acci dent, involving the loss of three lives, occurring on the river at the foot of London-bridge steps. It appears that at about half past eight o'clock a boat under the charge of the son of a waterman, named Williamson, a young man about eighteen years of age, pushed off from the stairs on the City side of London-bridge, with about eleven boys (under the age of twelve years) and three girls, intending to take them to the Custom-house. The boat had not reached ten or a dozen yards from the stairs, before she came athwart the tide, which was running down very fast, and she was carried with great vio lence against the bows of the Diamond steamer, moored off Fresh wharf. Had they kept their seats, in all probability nothing further would have happened, but unfortunately the whole got up, and instantly the boat went down stern fore most, precipitating all of them into the water. The acci dent being observed by many hundreds of persons assembled on the bridge, and on the different steam-boat piers, the ex citement that ensued was of a character easily conceived. Fortunately a man having charge of the dumb-lighters in front of Fresh-wharf was standing at the bow of the Diamond steamer at the time. He threw overboard ropes and other floatable articles for the children to lay hold of. Most of them rose to the surface, and eleven, including the waterman, were with great difficulty saved ; but the remainder (some say three, and others six) were drowned. Among them are known to be two girls (one 16 and the other 18 years of age), and also a boy eight years of age, whose parents are living in Milton-street. Those saved were in a most exhausted state. They were all immediately conveyed to the Royal Humane Society-house—the New Castle, in Lower Thames street—where they received all possible assistance. Drags were directly put into requisition, and search was made for the bodies of those drowned, but, up to eleven o'clock, none of them had been discovered. THE FACTORIES BILL.

REDUCTION IN THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD.—It is not to be concealed that there is growing up a feeling of un easiness, if not discontent, about the reductions that are constantly taking place in the Royal household. We allude to the subject reluctantly, but, we hope, with a proper sense of the delicacy with which it should be treated. The whole case, reduced to figures, seems to resolve itself into the fol lowing particulars :—lndependently of the personal income of the Sovereign and her Consort, of the augmentation of Prince Albert's allowance by about 10,0001. a-year, derivable from places and appointments conferred upon him by the Queen, and of the large revenue drawn from the Duchy of Cornwall for the use of the Prince of Wales, an annual sum of 375,000/. is granted by Parliament for the maintenance of the customary splendour of the Court. We have never heard a single objection taken to the amount of that grant. On the con trary, we believe, if it were required, Parliament would at any moment be prepared to increase it—the special purposes for which it was originally designed being, of course, always kept in view. Now, of that sum of 375,000/. per annum, reductions have been effected to the amount of 25,000/. The rage for retrench ment which appears to have set in with the income-tax has reached the Palace itself, and equerries, riding -misty Pe°P l e!is, chamber-pages, and all sorts of gold and silver waiting have been cut down to meet the eczon?rp been spirit of the times. If a saving to the country o_ha2ds,ooo positively accomplished by this reduction r ' vance of the country to complain ; but the popular gr ie vance con sists in the somewhat anomalous fact, that this very reduc tion will absolutely entail an increased burden upon the public. The persons whose services are thus dropped out of a o t u present se such 1. the Royal household must be pensioned ; but the pensions per annum, it would be very ungracious on the part are not to be paid out of the amount saved by their reduc tion, but are to constitute a fresh charge upon the national t e he pos ad s o e p ss ti Treasury. The consequence will be that the public expen diture, instead of being diminished by this 25,0001. a-year, will, in fact, be augmented by the amount of the pensions. on the subject distinctly points. Perhaps it is intended to return the surplus to Parliament ; but, as no indication of o a n n c o l t u h s e i r o , n d th o e n i o n t fo a r i m lt a ic t i i p on ate w such an intention has been made, and as Royal economy in we one department is generally directed with a view to enlar g ed a course.— Court Journal. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT TATTERSALL'S FARM, WILLES DEN-PADDOCKS, MED DLESEX. - -Yeaterdav (S morn ing, shortly after nine o'clock, the • - (Sunday) o r :l o t:e h :M c turesque village of Willesden, inhabitants of the pie* about five miles . from Hyde• park corner, were aroused from their usual quietude by the . outbreak of a fire upon belonging to Edmund Tattersall, Esq., who is universally known for his connexion with the sporting world, situate at the Paddocks, Willesden. The fire originated in the rick yard, contiguous to which stands a line of stabling chiefly built of wood. In the yard there were at the time of the out break two immense stacks of hay, containing (our reporter was informed) 140 loads. It appears that a boy employed upon the premises was amusing himself by cleaning out a kettle which had contained a quantity of pitch, used the day before for farming purposes. 10 do this the more effectually he heated the vessel by kindling a fire near to a hedge close by the ricks. By some accident, at present unexplained, ho upset the pot of pitch, and the wind blowing very fresh at the time, the flames communicated to the body of bar. Alarmed by the circumstance, the boy ran away into the Adds to seek for help, and in a few moments several labourers were upon the spot attempting to subdue the violence of the raging ele ment. Finding it impossible to check the flames, information was sent off to NVillesden and London, and several engines were promptly in attendance, but although great efforts were made by the firemen, aided by at least 200 countrymen, the flames could not be subdued, and the whole of the hay would have been consumed had not the expedient of cutting the unburnt from the burning mass been resorted to ; but the operation was performed with great difficulty, , and some By danger to those engaged in it. two o clock the smoulder ing ashes of the stacks were quenched, but up to half-past five o'clock men were employed in cutting and trussing the hay which remained uninjured : unfortunately, this is not more than one-fourth of the original quantity. Mr. Tatter sail's snug little box is uninjured, and the great quantity o f young horses and brood mares were not hurt. The property is insured in the Royal Exchange Fire-office. DUNDEE TRADE, MAY 14.—Our without change. The demand for fl ax, yarns, and linens keeps steady, and prices are without alteration. In hemp and hemp codilla there is still nothing doing, and prices of both articles are quite nominal. Indian jute is still wanted, and fetches from 15/. to 161. per ton, according to quality. The advance in f re i g h ts at Calcutta should affect the value of jute in this market. i' -I
