EVENING EDITION. he could assure the House that his opinion on this subject were not at all changed. His opinon was that the timber duties were injurious to many most im portant interests in this country. They were not. bene ficial in the measure represented, even to the shipping interests, and he was quite certain they were not bene ficial to the colonists themselves.—( Hear, hear.) At the same time, though he entertained and expressed these opinions, he was not prepared for any violent or sweep ing change in these duties which might ruin existing interests. He thought a ei'ddle term might be intro.. duced with great advantage. His Hon. Friend, +le worthy Alderman, bad again talked an entire trans ference of timber from Canada to the Baltic, if an alteration should take place in the duties. Why, the Hon. Alderman tried to establish that point before the Committee of 1835, but utterly and signally failed. One advantage that would be gained would be that we should have Baltic timber substituted for that bad timber that now came from Canada, and which was not fit for the purposes for which it was used. But the Hon. Alderman had pushed his argument a little fur ther, and he really appeared to be a complete glutton for protection.=( A laugh.) Dile was not satisfied with a premium of twice and a half the first cost of the article, nothing would satisfy him. Then it was said how could they think of destroying the interests of the lumberers and others engaged in felling the timber. He (Mr. P. Thomson) contended that a fair and proper alteration of these duties would not injure their in terests to any considerable extent ; but it would be cheaper to compensate every party engaged in this trade than to continue the duties.—( Hear.) With reference to the motion of his lion. Friend, it must undoubtedly come under the consideration of the House at some other time—(Hear) —for it was a subject of inf?lnite im portance. But they must watch a better opportunity, lest they should add to the grievances of a party which had already too much to complain of. He had no doubt that the subject would soon receive the best attention of the Government. Mr. VILLIERS had heard the assurance of his Hon. Friend with great satisfaction. He regretted, however, to be obliged to say that the present scanty attendance of Hon. Members proved that the House had but little sympathy for the general interests of the country. Notwithstanding this discouragement, he should persevere, Session after Session, until the truth should at length work its way and produce its effect amongst the public.—( Hear, hear.) For the present he withdrew his motion. PUBLIC RECORDS. Mr. HODGSON HINDE moved for a return of all rules and regulations established by the Master of the Rolls for the custody and preservation of the public records under the Act of 1 and 2 Vic., cap. 94. The CHANCELLOR oftbe EXC HEQUER would give every facility to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman. He was happy here to bear testimony to the care and attention which the Master of the Rolls had success fully devoted to this subject. He hoped there would soon be a general central office for public records, and until that were established it was most desirable that they should have an office where a general catalogue of the papers in each office might be consulted.—( Hear.) Mr. C. WYNN was understood to acquiesce in the importance of such a suggestion. The motion was then agreed to. " THE HISTORIANS OF BRITAIN." - - Mr. HODGSON HINDE then rose t o give notice that he should-call the attention of the House to the suspension of the work called " The Historians of Bri tain.," undertaken by the Government in pursuance of an address of -that House to King George the Fourth, in 'tbe year 1822. The Hon. Gentleman proceeded with some details on the subject in a tone which could not be distinctly heard in the gallery, and was come to the words of the notice, when Mr. HIND LEY moved that the House be counted. Mr. HODGSON lIINDE—Ah, don't for another minute.—( Laughter.) Mr. Hindley, however, was unalterable, and strangers having been ordered to withdraw, it was found that there were but 37 Members present. The House was counted out at HALF-PAST SEVEN o'clock. THE BLACKWALL RAILWAY. The Blackwell Railway Bill was opposed last night by the Duke of Wellington. Either his Grace has been misled by the statements made to him by some of the Corporators of the City of London, or else he lends an unworthy resist ance to it, on the ground of some secret understanding of gentle opposition to Ministers, and further support to the Tories, _from the Reforming Corporation of London. This latte;thing his Grace was not likely to do. It is not consistent with the straightforward honesty of his character, for, although a Tory, he is an honest indepen. dent Tory, very unlike the more numerous arid worthless section of that party. His Grace also has seen too much of campa , gning not to be able most accurately to value the support derived from political apostates and from unprincipled mercenaries, who will fight for any cause that will pay them best. The inference thence is that his Grace has been imposed upon by the tilorporatora, whd do not, it seems, fancy a rail. way should ,eat, through the City, but for what reason does not appear, unless it bethat they themselves are slow - coaches, who like Lord Mayors, shows better than the swift motions of commerce and industry. A railway touches the south-eastern end of London Bridge, to the great con venience of the public and especially of the Borough peo , ; but then the Borough people are not afflicted with the'seourge - of a' Corporation. Why should there not be a railway ae the north-eastern and western point of London Bridge ? Just, and for no other earthly reason than because thee, pudding , headed Corporators do not like it, and cannot get any pelf by it. To the citizens, and to the commercial world at large, such a railway would be a great benefit, but -the.Corporators are determined that the City shall remain, as a brilliant writer has observed, " a mass of barbarism, .like the clergy reserves in Canada, while all around is co vered with commercial enterprise and improvement." The Blackwell . Railway people are not wise in their generation ; they should have secured the favour of the Corporators by making it " worth the While" of Aldermen and Deputies of Wards. A few shares and other persua sives judiciously applied among necessitous Aldermen or among the eloquent Liberals of the Corporation would have stopped all opposition to their Bill. They should have learned what dilapidated property of a ward Worthy . was to be destroyed by the Railway, and have come to an understanding about it. Why, Lord Petre has got more than a hundred thousand pounds for less than forty acres of land near Brentwood from the Eastern Counties Rail. way ! When political influence is in the hands of mobs, mobs must be persuaded ; when all the consenting hands of Briareus must be raised before a few yards of useful rail way can be made, each of his hundred hands must be com plimented. This is what makes mob government so ex pensive. AWFUL OCCURRENCE.—On Sunday last, while Mr. Jones, the barrister, was holding the quarter sessions in Hillsborough Court-house, an awful event took place. An old man (of the name of Traynor, we believe) had been processed to the previous Newry sessions for the seduction of a young girl, and had been decreed to pay the sum of 51. 103. The extent of the barrister's jurisdiction was then 101., but, owing to the circumstances of Traynor, the above sum of 51. 10s. only was decreed to the prosecutor, it appearing to be all that he could be expected to pay. It was agreed that a debtor of Traynor's, who owed him this sum Of 5 1 . 10s., should pay it to the prosecutor, according to the decree ; and this person subseqnently paid the amount of his debt, as agreed upon, with the consent of Traynor himself. N o t w i t h stan di ng t hi s arrangement, and although Traynor's debtor did pay over that sum of Si. 10s. pursuant to the decree and agreement, to the father of the girl seduced by Traynor, he (Traynor) afterwards refused to recognise the payment, and actually processed to Hills borough Sessions the man who had owed him this sum of 31. los. The foregoing circumstances were relied upon for the defence, and a w itness produced to prove the ar rangement. When this witness was proving the fact of the agreement, and of Traynor's consent, Traynor stood up, and said, That is false." These were the last words spoken by the unfortunate man, for he was instantly smitten dead, and fell forward on his face. He was carried out, and medical assistance instantly had, but all in vain, life was utterly extinct. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visi tation of God. " The unfortunate man was buried in Hillsborough burial ground on Sunday.— Ulster Times.

Cold and heartless must that person be who does not glory in this triumph of English j ust i ce, and in the success that has accompanied the efforts of a few persons to resist one of the grossest and most abominable acts of tyranny and injustice that has ever been attempted to be committed by English officials.

From the Annual Report of the Registrar-Genera, it appears that the number of marriages in the year ending June 30, 1838, was 111,481, of which 107,201 were performed according to the rites of the Established Church. The number of births registered in the first quarter was 74,588 ; in the second, 89,528 ; in the third, 113,815 ; in the fourth, 121,781. The re gistration of births increased rapidly, and in the last quarter exceeded the average proportion of re gistered baptisms by 9,000. The registration of births is imperfect, as the parties are not com pelled to give information, except when applied to by the registrar : and the imperfection must remain until the registration of births shall be rendered com pulsory, as it is in other countries, where the interests of the children of the poor, and of science, are not allowed to be sacrificed to the ignorance, the avarice, or the prejudices of the clergy. It appears that under the voluntary system 100 out of 113 births 4 have been re gistered ; eight in nine of the people comply with the Act ; a compulsory clause would consequently only compel the inconsiderable minority—one-ninth of the whole—to confer upon their offspring the advantages of civil registration. An incomplete registration of births is of no statistical value, so we pass to the deaths. The number of deaths that occurred in the first year, and were registered, was 338,660. This implies that the annual mortality was one in 45. It exceeds the esti mated average number of deaths, and exhibits the defi ciencies of the Church registers in a very striking light. The probable number of burials registered by the Esta blished Church the same year was 29:,713. Notwith standing all the obstacles which have been thrown in the way, Mr. Lister has therefore succeeded in procur ing very nearly a complete return of marriages and deaths in the first year. This speaks well for the good sense of the people, and for the measures which have been employed to carry the Act into operation. Abstracts are given of the ages at which the deaths happened in 23 divisions of the country, and in all Eng land. In the appendix elaborate tables exhibited the fatal diseases of different parts of the country. These throw considerable light upon the present state of pub lic health, to which we shall now advert very briefly. It has been ascertained that for one annual death there are two persons constantly sick ; for instance, if out of one hundred soldiers two die annually, four will be on an average upon the sick list. The rate of mor tality in a given population, therefore, expresses the re lative amount of sickness. Now, there is reason to be lieve that the mortality, and consequently the sickness, progressively declined in England down to 1816-20, and that it has increased ever since. This can only be de termined indirectly ; namely, upon the assumption that the parochial registers were equally erroneous in the thirty years, 11101-30. It will then follow that the re lative mortality in periods of five years was— Years. Registered Burials out of 100,000. 1801-5 1806-10 1,958 1811-15 1,844 1816 20 1,823 1821-25 1,864 1826 30 1,944 The epidemics of influenza and cholera have occurred since 18.31 ; and the mortality and sickness have pro bably gone on increasing. The important question then arises, to what is this increase of sickness, to what are these new victories of death, to be ascribed ? The Re gistration of the Causes of Death Act is calculated to afford replies to these questions, and to indicate the cir cumstances by which the mortality is increased. In his letter to the Registrar-general, published in the Appen dix, Mr. Farr remarks : " Diseases are more easily prevented than cured, and the first step to their prevention is the discovery of their exciting causes. The registry will show the agency of these causes by numerical facts, and measure the in tensity of their influence. The annual rate of mor tality in some districts will be found to be four per cent., in others two per cent. ; in other words, the people in one set of circumstances live fifty years, while in an other set of circumstances, which the registration will indicate, they do not live more than twenty-fire years. In these wretched districts nearly eight per cent. are constantly sick, and the energy of the whole population is withered to the roots. Their arms are weak, their bodies wasted, and their sensations embittered by privation and suf fering. Half the entire life is passed in infancy, sick ness, and dependent helplessness. In exhibiting the high mortality, the diseases by which it is occasioned, and the exciting causes of disease, the abstract of the registers will prove, that while a part of the sickness is inevitable—and a part can only be expected to dis appear before progressive social amelioration—a con siderable proportion of the sickness and deaths may be suppressed by the general adoption of hygienic mea sures which are in actual but partial operation. It may be affirmed, without great risk of exaggeration, that it is possible to reduce the annual deaths in Eng land and Wales by 30,000, and to increase the vigour (may I not add the industry and wealth ?) of the population to an equal extent ; for fatal diseases are the iron index of misery, which recedes before strength, health, and happiness, as the mortality declines." The concentration of effluvial emanations in densely populated districts is one of the principal causes of sickness and mortality. Thus, out of a population of 3,500,750, distributed over an area of 17,245 square miles, the deaths in the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1837, amounted to 34,074, out of a p o p u l a ti on o f 3,553,161 , concentrated - in city districts upon 747 square miles, the deaths are 47,953. The mortality of epidemic diseases, such as fever, cholera, small-pox, measles, as well as convulsions and several infantile affections, are doubled, and the prevalence of other diseases is in creased, but in a less proportion. The three following diseases, which principally affect adults between the ages of 15 and 65, show that unhealthy places augment the fatality of diseases in different degrees : - Counties. Cities. Increase in Cities. Population 3,500,750 3,653,161 Deaths by Consumption 5,857 8,125 39 Childbirth 217 372 71 Typhus Fever 1,564 3,456 221 The immense mortality of a dense population is not inevitable. Innumerable facts prove that the sickness in cities may be reduced until it is but a little higher than in the country. The causes of death are now known, and the means of prevention have been discovered. If civilisation have been attended by an increase of dis ease, the arts of civilisation teach us how the indirect evil may be obviated. The annual mortality of the me tropolis was five per cent. down to 1790 ; it has been reduced to 2 8 per cent., and does not now exceed three per cent. The deaths did not exceed 70,000 in the year that cholera prevailed ; if the same rate of mor tality had prevailed as in the plagues of the 16th and 17th centuries, the deaths in the metropolitan district would have exceeded half-a-million : That the high mortality of cities may be diminished is proved by the fact that the rale of mortality is low in some and high in other quarters of the same city. The tables F and G in the appendix show that the mortality and sickness is twice as high in some unions of the me tropolis as it is in others. Table G, calculated upon the deaths and marriages of males and females, exhibits the diseases of the 3-2 metropolitan districts ; but as Table F, calculated upon the females alone, is shorter, it is here subjoined : Of the Relative Mortality in different parts of the Metro polis : exhibiting the Mean Annual Mortality of Fe males in the thirty-two Metropolitan Unions, Ist July to 31st December, 1837.

After other facts have been adduced, showing that the density of the districts is generally proportional to the mortality, and that where the density and affluence are the same, that the rate of mortality depends upon the efficiency of the venti —_ lati__ _____on , and of the means which The two unions are counted7as one. t The mortality of the City of London has been aug mented 10 per cent. ; and as many families in the west end were out of town in the half year (July to December) no correction has been made for the deaths (females 17) in St. George's Hospital. The total deaths in hospitals amounted to 1,309 ; males, 991 ; females 398. The 991 males include 22 in Chelsea Hospital, 126 in Greenwich Hospital, and 82 in the Dreadnought. are employed for the removal of impurities, it is re marked : The necessary deduction from the double series of facts is, that the mortality has a tendency to in crease as the density of the population increases, hut that the unhealthful tendency can be counteracted by artificial agencies. In other terms, the mortality of cities in England and Wales is high, but it may be immeasurably reduced. A good, general system of sewers ; the intersection of the dense, crowded unions of the metropolis by a few spacious streets ; and a park in the east end of London would probably dimi nisi, the annual deaths by several thousands, prevent many years of sickness, and add several years to the lives of the entire population. Similar improvements would have the same effects in other cities of the em pire. The poorer classes would be benefited by these measures, and the poor-rates wo uld b e re duc e d ; b u t a ll classes of the community are directly interested in their adoption for the epidemics, whether influenza, typhus, or cholera—small-pox, scarlatina, or measles, which arise in the east end of the town, do not stay there ; they travel to the west end, and there prove fatal in wide streets and squares. The registers show this ; they trace dis eases from unhealthy to healthy quarters, and follow them from the centres of cities to the surrounding vil lages and remote dwellings." It has been justly observed that, " If Governments can do little by direct enactments for the diminution of sickness, it is nevertheless their duty to determine, by statistical enumeration, the actual state of public health, and the extent to which it is de teriorated in different circumstances. . . . This would improve public health, by showing so distinctly the con nection between diseases and their natural causes, that men would either avoid or obviate the evils destructive of health by some invention." Lord John Russell's Registration Act will effectually answer this purpose by securing the publication of the abstracts in Mr. Lister's Annual Report.-2forning Paper. NE kl 4 THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1839. FREE LABOUR IN THE WEST INDIES. We are asked by our friends in England if there be any truth in the statements advanced by the Planters, that " the negroes will do no work except for the moat exorbitant wages ?" We have no hesitation in giving the statement the most unqualified contradiction. The first point to be settled in such a discussion is, what may be considered a fair standard of wages. We will let the question be decided on evidence supplied by the planters themselves. Let us first ask what was the market price of labour fixed by the planters during the existence of the ap prenticeship. The Parliamentary papers furnish us with abundant materials for a reply. We find for example that when a man named Nelson Harris, a common field labourer on Caswell Hill Estate, in Vere, applied for his release from the remaining term of his apprenticeship, the overseer Mr. C. Harley, and the attorney Mr. William Dowell, swore that his services to the estate as an apprentice, were worth no less tha❑ eighty pounds a year—that is about six shillings and ten pence per day ! Mr. Mac- Pherson valued the services of the same man at forty-five pounds per annum, about three shillings and fourpence per day, and Mr. M'Clemont at thirty five pounds per annum. We find that on the same day, the same Mr. William Dowall, valued a boy of sixteen years of age, at thirty pounds per annum ; that is 2s. 6d. per day. Mr. G. P. Burrell, another Magistrate of Vere, valued one Mary Ann Donaldson, an estate washer-woman, at 451. per annum. On the valuation of Mary Williams, a field labourer on Woodstock, in St. George's, Mr. William Hossack, the proprietor, declared on oath that the value of the woman's services to the estate, though burdened with two young children, under five years of age, was one hundred pounds per annum ; making about eight shillings and six-pence per day of nine hours ! These are but a few of the specimens that may be culled out of the Parliamentary Papers, to show what were the opinions —ratified by the sanctity of an oath, of certain planters—all highly respectable—all honour able men, as to the actual value of the services of a labourer engaged in field cultivation! If we were to take these opinions as our guide, we might fairly fix the standard of wages at five 'or six shillings per day. But we will cast them aside ; we Will admit for argument's sake, that the value of the labourer's services as sworn to, by these honourable men, was absurdly extravagant, and merely intended either to defraud the helpless la bourer, or keep him in a state of slavery. We pass on to other, and more reasonable evidence, In the great bulk of the valuations taken, the sum decided on as a fair estimate of the value of praadial service, was 251. per annum, making the day's labour worth 2s. 2id. ; this, exclusive of the cost of mainte nance as to the clothing, medical attendance, the " cus tomary allowances," and house and ground, which would raise the value of tbe day's labour to 2s. 6d. or 2s. 11 d. per day.. _ _ Such was tile . planter's—statement of the value of labOui ; and what did the planter actually pay for labour, when his necessities required him to seek more than what the law allowed him to extort from his own gang ? Jobbing gangs during the latter part of the apprenticeship never were hired out for less than 2s. 6d. per day —very commonly 3s. 4d., and sometimes 4s. 2d. Cane hole digging was sometimes taken by the piece, at 8/. per acre, in average land ; seventy cane holes were regularly extorted from each labourer ; at this rate the jobber received rather better than the sum of ss. sd. for the labour of each of his gang per day ; when the labourer was hired in his own time, he was paid at the rate of from ls. Bd. to 3s. 4d. per day ; but in the great ma- jority of cases at 2s. 6d. per day. Now, arguing from these data, and their accuracy will assuredly not be disputed, we would fix the stan dard of a reasonable rate of wages at two shillings and sixpence per day of nine hours. What, then, was the amount of wages offered by the planters at the begin ning of the system ?—what was the amount demanded by the labourers ?—and what is the amount now ac tually paid ? In St. Thomas in the East, just before the termina tion of the apprenticeship, the high-minded gentry of the parish took it into their heads, to have it all their own way ; they magnanimously agreed among themselves, not to give more than ten pence currency, (6d. sterling) per day, for a day's labour, the length of which they also laid down with as much self-complacency as though the despotism of the old system were to continue in full ope tion ; their egregious folly and ignorance, speedily be came apparent, and many are doubless now suffering from their innocent mistake. In St. Thomas in the Vale, we heard of a similar combination, not to pay more than three shillings and four pence (two shillings sterling) per week, with the occupation of house and grounds, nominally free of rent. In Trelawny and St. James's, the plan was to pay only one shilling and a halt-penny currency (that is 7i -d. sterling per day). One or other of these rates was adopted by the generality of managers throughout the island ; the labourers, as might be expected, rejected these inequitable—these iniquitou s terms ; they were not quite so ignorant of the value of their labour, as the planters had calculated on. But were they any way unreasonable in their de mands ? Let the facts speak for themselves.—ln nine teen cases out of twenty, the labourers demanded the lowest sum that had for many years previously been given for a day's labour, that is, is. Bd. currency per day ; and we have not heard of a single instance of a gang standing out for higher wages than 2s. Gd. per day, subject to a heavy deduction for rent of houses and grounds Some few of the planters at once acquiesced with these terms, and thereby established that sort of feeling of confidence and good will, between themselves and their people, as enabled them to carry on the cultivation of their estates, with little or no interruption. But in a great many cases, we believe the majority, the planters persisted in their endeavours to thrust their own terms upon the la bourers ; the struggle which ensued cau se d a t emporary suspension of labour, and hence the outcry that the negroes had refused to work, except for the most exor bitant wages. W e will take this opportunity of observing, that there are some estates in the island which cannot afford to pay the rate of wages we have pointed out as reasonable— estates situated far in the interior—of inferior produc tiveness—and overwhelmed with the difficulties and ex penses of getting the produce conveyed along the rugged and lengthy roads down to the Barqucdier.—Such Es tates cannot afford to pay 2s. Gd. per day, nor even Is. Bd. ; in fact, they cannot afford to pay any wages at I all!—they ought to be totally abandoned as regards Sugar cultivation—it is struggling against nature, to persist in carrying them on. Sugar cultivation, we imagine, must eventually be limited to those localities where no natural impediments exist. From what we have herein explained, our English re'ders will be quite competent to judge whether there be any reasonable foundation for the hue and cry raised by the planters and their partisans, as to the extrava gant wages demanded by the labourers.—Colonial Reformer.

BENEFIT OF THE CORN-LAWS TO IRE LAN D.—The high price of provisions in our market is at this moment the cause of excessive distress to the numerous poor of the city, and the wants of this class are aggravated by the scarcity of employment, an evil unfortunately preva lent in the early part of the summer, when the export merchants have exhausted their granaries, and await the supply of the growing harvest, which then occupies so many hands in the stores and at the quays.—limerick Chronicle.

" Dear Captain Hill—l am particularly anxious to communicate through you with my Protestant tenants and neighbours at this important period of the year ; and as the Committeee on Crime in Ireland has for the present concluded the examination of witnesses, and is preparing to make a Report on the evidence received, I avail myself of the breathing time allowed me by this cessation of labour to acquaint our friends that information of the utmost value has been received, that the conspiracy which has been working ruin in Ireland has had a light thrown upon it which I trust will be found eminently beneficial. The important evidence which sets forth the fearful objects of the Ribbon conspiracy, together with other matter of no less interest, which have been examined into, will soon be known to the public—and this is a cause for much thankfulness. " We have reason also to rejoice that the loyalty and good feeling of the Irish Protestants are now beginning to be understood, and that the present Lord Lieutenant is, as I believe, anxious to administer the law with jus tice, and in a spirit of kindness. I allude particularly to the proclamation which he has lately issued referring to the 12th of July. Its temper and design will, I have no doubt, ensure to it from the loyal inhabitants of Ulster, not only that cheerful obedience to which it is entitled, but thankfulness . to his Excellency for the spirit by which it is dictated. " I trust better days are at hand. Let the patience which has hitherto characterised the loyal inhabitants of Ireland remain unbroken—let them continue to show that their respect for the law is of that pure kind which ensures obedience to it even when it demands much self-denial. Above all, let us remember that in whatever condition we may be placed, we have the pro tecting hand of that Almighty Deliverer whose cause, I trust, is ours, and for every renewed blessing let Him have the praise. f.

Mr. THESIGER then objected to the vote on the ground that Barry had parted with his qualification. The examination of the first witness had not been con cluded at Four o'clock, the usual hour of adjournment. THE NATIONAL EDUCATION SCHEME. PAGTEST AGAINST AGREEING TO THE ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY ON THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY'S RISO. TIONS ON EDUCATION. Dissentient, 1. Because the Church of England, ashy law established, has been for three centuries in possession of great wealth, and, being intrusted with the education of the people have not performed their duty in that respect, as has been proved by the gross ignorance of the peasantry, more particularly in the vicinity of Canterbury. 2. Because the Church of England established in Ireland infinitely more wealthy than the Church in England, had, for 70 years and upwards, the disposal of enormous Parlia mentary grants, and of other vast funds fOr the support of charter and other schools, into which a catechism was in troduced, teaching the Roman Catholic children that their parents were wicked and damnable heretics, thereby de stroying the most endearing duties of social life, and the charter schools were ultimately and of necessity closed in consequence of their proved immorality, and the pollution in some instances of the infant scholars by the masters. July 5. CLONCURRY. TALAPES" OR CLUB-FOOT.—We all know how the whole current of By,ron's existence was embittered, even as it were at the fountain-head, by the malformation of a limb, which, though not a positive deformity in him, was nevertheless the source of eternal self-reviling and irrational humiliation. We know, too, the life-long wretchedness that many parents have endured in conse quence of those accidents of birth which are most unrea sonably regarded as " monstrosities" in their offspring, in the catalogue of which none appears to them more griev ous than the Talapes or club-foot. And yet, strange to say, all the experiments of surgical skill, and all the re searches - of professional men, however eminent, proved alike unsuccessful in devising a perfect and permanent re. medy for such defects till within the last few bears ; when a perilous but successful effort was made by an operation on the tendon Achilles to relieve the muscles of the leg and foot from the undue tension in which the seemingly natu ral and incurable deformity had its origin. The success of that operation has been followed by the most beneficial effects in every instance in which an adequate degree of ability, science, and skill has been brought to the attempt. —Salisbury Herald. TII E WELLINGTON TANDEM —The Tories formerly were the proprietors of the State Coach, but by mismanagement, carelessness and extravagance, they became bankrupt in character and reputation, were de clared insolvent, went into the Gazette, and have never been able to get whitewashed. They next attempted to ride as passengers in the Derby Dilly, but the springs of that crazy vehicle soon gave way under the dead weight of so much lumber, and it was deserted by, all except .the fiery Jehu and his long-legged cad, Graham: At last, they have nothing left but the Wellington Tandem with old Waterloo for the leader and Bobby for the Wheeler in it, and even that seems in danger of being overturned into the first ditch, inasmuch as a teapot storm rebellion has broken out amongst the ostlers and stable boys and grooms —grooms in waiting, poor fellows I they have been long enough—of the concern, who swear that if the driver does not whip up his tits and make them "go the pace," they will damage the harness, cut the traces, break the shafts, take out the linchpins, or perpetrate some mischief or other which shall condemn the carriage and its team to be laid up in ordinary for ever. In plain words, the honeymoon of Toryism, which they told us was to last to the end of the world, has suddenly terminated. —Liverpool Albion. The Somerset County Gazette, though convey ing the same gratifying intelligence relative to the state of the crops generally, as is contained in all the other coun try papers, states, that " the orchards are almost bare of fruit. Here and there we find a tree with a fair sprinkling on the boughs, but on the greater portion of the trees, there is not an apple to be seen. The frosts of May de stroyed the abundant blossom from which so much was anticipated. Last Monday week, Vincent was removed to London by habeas corpus, to appeel to the Court of Queen's Bench on the subject of his bail. On Tuesday he was brought up before Mr. Justice Patteson, at cham bers, on which occasion Mr. Whateley appeared as counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Roebuck for the prisoner. Mr. Roebuck having stated for whom he appeared, pro ceeded to state that the examining magistrates had been frightened, and in their terror had acted most outrageously in requiring bail, which was most enormous for a journey man printer. Mr. Whateley said that two sureties only should be accepted ; but that 5001. bail might be made up by four or fire persons. Mr. Justice Patteson said he did not think it unreasonable bail. Mr. Roebuck then applied to his Lordship to take bail for the appearance of the defendant, without imposing the condition—" to be of be good behaviour for twelve months," His Lordship said that he would require the defendant and his bail to be bound for his good behaviour until the assizes, but did not think it necessary to extend the sureties beyond the as assizes. Mr. Whateley said the prosecutors would be quite satisfied with the bail ; whereupon the matter termi nated, and Vincent having been bound in the sum of 5001., one of his bail in the sum of 250/., another in the sum of 1501., and another in the sum of 100/ , a supersedcas was given to the gaoler, and Vincent was set at large.—Bristol Mirror. DREADFUL OCCURRENCE —Yesterday evening, a woman was so dreadfully burned, as to obliterate almost every trace and feature of humanity, and to leave not a hope of life. The clothes of the poor creature caught fire while lilting a kettle from the grate, but no one being in the house at the moment of the dreadful occurrence but herselr; she screamed with the energy of one exposed to so horrible a fate, and a person having arrived who ex tinguished the flames, found the poor creature the pitiable spectacle above stated. The sufferer has expired.—Merlin.

No travellers are employed. The copious and successive s howers with which the country was favoured a week or two since, combined with a fair proportion of hot and seasonable weather, has given an appearance and imparted a forwardness to the crops of hay ar.d grass in this neighbourhood , unsurpassed, we should think, within recollection. Nothing can ex ceed the beauty and fertility of the landscape in every di rection. Portions of grass we observe cut in a great many places; and the wheat is displaying the ear prepara tory to the golden ripening which waits to crown the farmer's toil. It is, however, thought that the drought experienced in May will prove unfavourable to abundance as regards the hay crops. A few days more, however, of such dry and hot weather as now prevails, and hay-making will be the order of the day in every point of the compass. _Derbyshire Advertiser.

SIR,— As you have thought it right to comment, in no very measured terms, on my political conduct, you will prob%bly think it right to allow me to say a few words in myown behalf. I will not stop here to inquire hew far it is judicious in a public writer to set up such a standard of party 89 you have done—a standard to which none can come up who are not ready on all occasions to yield their own deliberate judg ment to that of their political friends; nor will I ask if it is fair thus to denounce and proscribe those on whose mo tives no man dares to cast a shadow of suspicion. You tell the world that lam a political cheat. These are hard words, and I have a right to ask on what grounds your assertion rests ? I did not come forward as a candidate fur East Cornwall till I had received a requisition signed by nearly half the constituent body. I had voted while in Parliament in fa vour of Roman Catholic Emancipation. They who urged me to come forward were, therefore, aware that I was de sirous of admitting the Roman Catholics to a full and equal participation in all civil rights. In all my speeches and addresses I declared myself to be a moderate Conser vative, and as a moderate Conservative I have always endeavoured to act. At all events I say, and I say it without fear of contra. diction, that I kept no Conservative, moderate, or other wise, out of the seat which I occupy, for no other Conser vative could then be found ready to fight the battle which I fought. When a dissolution takes place it will be for the electors of East Cornwall to say whether I gave pledges which I have failed to redeem, and whether they are satisfied or not with my political conduct. And now, Sir, permit me to make one or two observa tions respecting the vote which has drawn your censure upon me. The principle of the Irish Corporation Bill has been ad mitted by all parties in Parliament. The supporters of the clause and those of the amendment differ only as to the qualification for voting, and that to the extent of no more than a few shillings. A day or two before that on which the debate took place a volume, submitted to the " dispassionate consideration of the Imperial Legislature," was placed in my hands. It contains the speeches delivered at a Protestant meeting held in Dublin in the spring of this year. At this meeting, a meeting at which the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, Queen's Counsel, &c., were present, speeches were made breathing a spirit so hostile to all com promise, and, as it appears to me, so intolerant and un. charitable, that I could not retrain from expressing the feeling of regret with which I had read them. The question now pending is, how far we shall enlarge the municipal franchise and assimilate it to that which exists in England and Scotland. In Parliament, at least, no man contends for the exclusion of Roman Catholics as such, from the corporation, It cannot, therefore, . . I think, be advisable, in discussing this question, to condemn the religious errors of a large body of our fellow-subjects, in language snch as that which I find in those speeches--to call them " worshippers of I3elial" and " followers of Antichrist," and to ask what right have they, " idolaters, to demand equality with us Christians." Still less can I think it right to call on the Protestants of Ireland to be ready to arm and take the field if the Popish, idolatrous, and iniquitous Bill which the House of Lords passed last year become the law of the land. This language strengthened the conviction which I last year entertained and expressed, that it is very desirable to settle this question : and I could not, there fore, vote against a clause which appeared to me to be fair and reasonable. I will 'nly add that taunts and menaces will neither de ter me from doing that which I believe to be my duty, nor will they alienate me in the slightest degree from the party of which I have ever been a conscientious though an humble supporter. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ELIOT. INTERESTIN G TO LADIES.—The preservation of the Complexion from the burning, pernicious influence of the solar beam, was for ages a desideratum in science. Half a century back Ladies suffered most severely from the effects produced by excessive heat. The rapid progress of science has happily brought to light a discovery of the highest importance to the Female Fashionable World. We allude to Rowland's celebrated Kalydor, the auxiliary friend, guardian, and protector of female beauty. In pro. menading and aquatic parties, our lovely countrywomen are shielded by Rowland's Kalydor from injury ; and their complexions remain as seductively charming and blooming as the most florid writer could portray and for which they are renowned throughout the world. A WOR DTO THE UnIVISE.—OR Sunday last, there were upwards of twenty vessels from Goole, at Gravesend, laden with coals. " Coals 1" exclaims some " combinative" champion : " you mean Gook slates r " Very well : " Goole slates" be it. At any rate, they find their way to market. —Gateshead Observer.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. KENTISH Hors._Honey•dew is now to be seen in some of the very best Maidstone grounds, and in the weaker grounds the bine is not nearly in so favourable a state as at our last report. Many of the bines are getting black and fire blasted, and the leaves are curling and turning yellow, The storm scarcely appears to have diminished the number of insects, as might have been expected. For miles round Maidstone, and particularly on the hills, there are a great quantity of lice, but very few fly, and there appears a great portion of weak bine which cannot recover for a crop. At Headcorn, Staplehurst, Goudhurst, and Lamberhurst, the hops are in a growing state, but followed by fly and lice, and honey-dew, which causes the grounds to have a sickly appearance. At Ticehurst, Burwash, and Etchingham, the hop plantations are in a thriving state, with a decrease of fly, but in some grounds there is an increase of lice and a little honey-dew. CAN TERBURY Hops._ In many grounds the hops are looking decidedly bad, the wind and cold having greatly affected them. The bine is strong, but the leaves and later shoots are of an unkindly hue.
