This is the fourth oc casion within the last three mouths' on which the Govern ment has been beaten by its usual supporters; and it be comes a grave question how,it will support these repeated discomfitures. On the - Factory question it contrived to ex tricate itself with considerable loss of credit, both to itself and its friends, by throwin g its own existence into one of the scales. It commanded the House to decide betweeri.accept ing its Bill and losing its somewhat imperious services. Sir Robert Peel would not consent to hold offlei, if a measure were passed destructive, as he declared it to be, to the very existence of British trade. , This answered its purpose for the nonce ; but such a menace, if at all capable of repetition, is plainly inapplicable to the two questions by which he is at present embarrassed. Deeply mistaken as we consider the Premier's views oft he Factory question to have been, they at least had the pretence of being "important if true." With the convictions which' he professed on the question of industrial freedom or slavery, ire can understand, though we grievously lament, his having staked the being of his Government on his ability to enforce them upon the Legislature. :Not so with regard to Welch bishopricks or West Indian duties. We have here a pair of questions, important indeed within their sphere, deeply interesting to those who are immediately concerned in theni, but obviously confined in their effect=-- obviousl y inoperative on the general course of Ministerial policy. To constitute them matters of life and death would be the mere undisguised despotism of office—would proclaim a determination that what is called the Conservative party, and every section of it, shall be allowed no word, or act, or motion, but subject to the summary veto of the Prime-Minis ter. This might be pardonable in a man who had contrived to unite half a nation in defence or development of a great and overpowering principle. Mr. O'Connell may with some plausibility require, as he does in fact obtain, such implicit obedience from those who feel that his words and deeds are the exponent of the one great idea in which their political thoughts and aspirations are one and all centred. But our. present Premier 1133, always cautiously shrunk from committing himself to such a position as this. The great problem which he has most ingeniously solved has, been to weld together a mass of very heteroge neous material, without merging individual preferences, an tipathies, and theories in the absorbing pursuit of any one great and common object. lie has succeeded in creating the opinion that he is himself a good man of business, an inde fatigable, Minister, a respectable dispenser of patronage, a dexterous Parliamentary leader, and' that a Cabinet formed and guided by hitn-would be a valuable check and modifica tion of the tide of innovation which so many apprehend ;-but he has not identified himself—he has never attempted to identify himself—with the feelings or sympathies of his sup porters—he has used no arts of attraction —no efforts at. ap proximation. On almost all points he has cautiously avoided declaring himself; and when lie has any measure to carry, lie shrouds himself in iwenetrable mystery till the moment when he lays it on the table of the House of Commons, and tells his supporters that they must swallow it. From such a position as this he has formed what is called the Conservative party—a party united in the first instance by hostility to the Whig Ministry and their Radical supporters, 'and kept toge ther we don't quite know how. He taught them to use their strength in turning out their enemies. That purpose they accomplished in 1841. lii that triumph the original principle of union was exhausted ; and we find some difficulty in de fining the feeling or principle which, after nearly three years' tenure of office, preserves to the party its present amount of coherency. It does,. however, in some measure cohere; and Sir R. Peel's Ministerial capacities constitute him (at least) its most eminent member. We - do not mean this for praise or blame. We apprehend that with some verbal alte rations, it would be admitted by the Premier himself as a fair account of his own policy. But we say that a Minister who has chosen to himself such a leadership - as this, has no right to claim from his followers that sacrifice of indivi dual feeling and interestwhich is due to one who shares their leading idea, or who has contrived to inspire them with his. •We sacrifice our opinions to those who are more ex perienced, wiser; more influential than ourselves, only when we know ourselves agreed with them in prin ciple, and because we trust their power and judgment more thoroughly than our Own in carrying those principles out. Sir Robert Peel does not teach—nay, does not allow, his followers to assume such an agreement. He does not en courage them to rely on his sympathy—he shows none for them—and he therefore must expect them to exercise their own judgment. Men will not serve one who is himself un fettered. They will give him what he gives them—alliance and co-operation, but not service. -The very necessities of human nature require, that he should preserve their union by showing in the details of his administration unusual ten-. derness for their wishes, consideration for their opinions, re spect for their principles, and anxiety for their interests. And now what has taken place in these two late instances of 'Parliamentary mischance ? Ministers, regardless of the nature of their positibn and the composition of their party, have in both attempted to ride over a body of their supporters who had justice on their side. They seem to have supposed that the malcontents were uninfluential, and, right or wrong, could be put down. We cannot, indeed, yet charge upon the Premier the full responsibility of what has passed in the matter of Bangor and St. Asaph. " In discreet" things are, we know, sometimes said and done in the Upper House, which he would scarcely adopt in full. Ob stinacy there has probably been somewhere among the heads of Church or State ; but it cannot well be called consummate till we have seen what happens in that Assembly which is, after all, the moving force -of the nation, and where the Premier will have to take the field in person. But the later case of the sugar duties is embarrassed by no such ambiguity. With this Sir R. Peel has made himself most distinctly chargeable. The case has been brought before him clearly —urgently—dispassionately. Men who may, if such a con sideration be allowed to weigh on a financial question, have been the zealous and unvarying supporters of his party, and (which is a more unimpeachable ground of argument) who have been ruined by the legislation of the last few years, have pleaded for justice to themselves—have petitioned for no very extravagant modification of the blow which he has announced his intention to inflict upon 'Omni ; but Sir . Robert Peel, it seems, unlike Sir John Falstaff, will concede nothing to his supporters, except " upon compulsion"—he thinks it beneath the dignity of a Prime Minister to withdraw'from:any fraction of a purpose which has once been Ministerially promulgated. The dangers to his own party—the dangers of division, alienation, and de• feat—no inconsiderable addition to the fundamental argil• ment from injustice—have been again and again brough before him-- " Sed nulls ille movetur Fletibus aut voces ullas tractabilis audit ; Fata obstant, placidasque viriDeus obstruit aures." Demanding, as he does, everything from them, he will yield nothing to . their wishes. " The fates forbid." But in this instance the fates have been unpropitious in their de crees. The experience of Lord Ashley's case has apparently misled the Premier. He has been mistaken in supposing that if he would not yield, his followers would. He has pushed the question to a Parliamentary trial, and has been beaten— fairly beaten. What may be the effect of this disaster we cannot foretell. But it will not be useless to Sir Robert him self, if it teaches him that ho will sometimes provide better even for his own dignity by consulting the feelings and opinions of those on whom, after all, he is much more depen dent for support, than they on him for guidance. (From the Chronicle.) A great deal of excitement prevailed in political circles througheut Saturday and yesterday, in conssquence of the defeat of Ministers on the Sugar Duties Bill on Friday night. A rumour was very current on Saturday that Sir Robert Peel had determined to resign. And we believe at that time there was some ground for this report. Two of the Minis ters, however—Lord Lyndhurst and the Duke of Buccleuch —were absent, and it was determined that they should be summoned to town to attend a Cabinet Council, appointed for yesterday. The Council met at four o'clock, and shortly after its separation it was known that Ministers had deter mined not to resign. One of two other courses remained for them to adopt. They might either propose to rescind the vote of Friday night, or 'propose to re new the present sugar duties for another year. The former was known to be hopeless. Even the threat of resig nation has lost its effect. ' " Let them resign and be Cob dened," is now the exclamation of the exasperated squire and West India proprietor. There was no mistaking the cheer that greeted Sir J. Rae Reid's honest denunciation at the Downing-street meeting the other day. The only course that remained was to propose the renewal of the present dit ties for another year. Against this Mr. Gladstone is said to have warmly protested. It was only on Friday night he said in his speech—" The Government might have ventured to propose to Parliament again the renewal of the sugar duties as they stood in the Bill of last year. Now, he did not think• they could, in justice to the consumer, have made that pro position, and if they had done so, they would have taken a very short-sighted view of colonial interests." In the face of such a declaration, how could he support the proposition ? We can easily fancy the derisive laugh with which his objec tion was met. It was unceremoniously overruled, and at the Council last evening it was resolved to propose the renewal of the duties for another year, and to accompany the proposi tion by a Ministerial explanation. (From the Post.) During the last eight-arid-forty hours the town has been agitated with all sorts of rumours, for which we feel justified in saying there is, up to the present moment, no other ground work than the fertile imagination of those who originated the reports. Not only has it-been confidentially stated that Sir Robert Peel has tendered his resignation to the Queen, but that her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept it, and to open communications with the nobleman destined to suc ceed the present Premier. Indeed, the imaginative portion of the political world have been so industrious that we have ourselves received more than one list of the new Cabinet. We need hardly say that these stories are mere inventions-- mere experiments upon public credulity. We believe we may state with some confidence that, at the late hour this morning at which we now write, the Minister has not tendered his resignation. The hostile division of Friday night of course rendered Ministerial consultation neces sary ; and a Cabinet Council was therefore .held on Satur day at the Foreign-office, and remained in deliberation for -a period of three hours. The Members present were Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Wharneliffe, 7 Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Haddiugton, Earl of Ripon, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Sir Edward Knatchbull, and Lord Granville Somerset. It will not be expected that we should be enabled to say what passed in the Council; but we have reason to believe that during the evening of Saturday, a Cabinet Minister de clared the position of the Government to be " very serious." That nothing definite was re - solved on up to that time may not only be inferred from the declaration Just mentioned, but 1 from the fact that another meeting of the Ministers took place yesterday at the house of the Earl of Aberdeen. It would have been obviously premature to take decisive mea sures on Saturday or Sunday, when the whole of this day, till the House of Commons shall meet, is still available for consultation. The probability is, that the final determination of the Cabinet will not be adopted until new deliberations shall have taken place this forenoon, or after it shall have been seen what course may be pursued in Parliament this" evening upon t he discussion of Mr. Miles's motion. ` (From the Advertiser.) . Ministers seem destined to defeals;and What is ektriordf nary, in every case of discomfiture, the opposition' proceeds from their ova side of the House. The victory of Saturday morning, which the supporters of Mr. Miles's motion achieved over Sir Robert Peel, is one of very great import ance. The question was virtually made a Ministerial ques tion ; but the combined forces of the Liberals and of the West India Planters—the latter influenced solely by per sonal considerations—proved more than a match fOr the Government troops. It is supposed that Sir Robert Peel will endeavour to persuade the Ilouse to rescind the vote of Saturday meriting, and thus again stultify itself as it did OH the Factory question. •Sir Robert had better not try this game too often ; and above all, not in this ease. The present is a question which touches the pockets of the entire country. The result of the vote of Saturday morning will he to make sugar a penny per pound cheaPer—which to the labouring classes is a boon of -no inconsiderable magnitude. .To attempt, therefore, to rescind the vote which the house has come to, and thereby snatch that boon from their hands, the Moment it was given them, would be one of the most inju dicious things which could be imagined. We are surprised to find in the list of the minority the names of several free traders. Every reduction of duty is a move in the right direction, and consequently ought to be encouraged by the free traders. .The more the amount of duties is diminished, the nearer we approach the gaol of their entire extinction. The debate and division of Saturday have given another heavy blow to monopoly. THE SPY *SYS' T En. ( From the Times.) The conversation which took place on Friday evening, re lative to a petition presented by the Member for Finsbury, has been described by some of our contemporaries as most damaging to the character of the Ministry. It was so. It was damaging to their character; and, as things have now turned oitt, It maS'ilisole . ruirions to their 'Stability. If they have determined on dissolving Parliament, this occurrence is the most unfavourable by which their appeal to the hustings could be preceded. When other taunts have been exhausted, other accusations answered, and other recriminations ex changed, this reproach will still be urged against them, and urged with effect—that they *ere the first Ministry of late years that bad resorted to themeanness ofespionage, and con descended to pursue a policy at once unconstitutional, un-Eng lish, and ungenerous. Sir 1. Graham—the Minister solely im plicated in the transaction = did not affect to deny that he bad issued a warrant by which the letters of a Mr. Mazzini were detained at the Post-office. He pleaded guilty to this charge. He avowed the issue of the warrant, but justified it by the necessities of State policy and two statutes. His adherents then attempted to suppress any further discussion of the matter; but the House proceeded to express its general and severe condemnation of such a system. And, truly, there was cause for indignation. The Home-office was arraigned for a treacherous breach of faith,which it was hardly credible could be charged upon the English Executive. Hitherto, it has been the peculiar boast of England that she is not as other countries, that her citizens are not liable to the same petty persecutions, the same rigorous police, the same insidi ous and incessant watching, the same dogging of their foot steps, opening of their letters, and prying into cabinets as harass the subjects of continental States. But this boast cannot now be uttered with justice. The _national prestige has gone. The Home Secretary has not scrupled to order that the letters of certain persons should be detained and opened at the General Post-office. No man's correspon dence is safe. No man's confidence can be deemed secure ; the secrets of no family, of no individual, can be guaranteed from reaching the ear of a Cabinet Minis ter, and, worse than that, of a Minister's officials. The apprehensions of commercial failures, the impending losses in the share market, the anticipations of a rise or full in prices—everything which to a mercantile community ren ders security, no less than facility ,of correspondence, a matter of grave import—all these may at stated times be no tified to a Minister, and published to the world. But it is said that great 'emergencies demand - the occasional exercise of a power which, however despotic when carried to excess, is nevertheless acknowledged by the statute law of the land. True. It may happen that such emergencies require The tension of executive authority. No one doubts it. And when • such emergencies do arise, and are recognised by public opinion, they justify the application of harsh mea sures. But this constitutes the very gist of our complaint.. No such emergency has been demonstrated. No case has been stated. . The Home Secretary contented himself with declaring, in general terms, that there were reasons for his conduct. But the' House was not satisfied with this, nor will the country be' so. We want facts and circumstances. ' We want such evidence as would' satisfy any reasonable man or any set of men that the Home Secretary was morally justified in the course which he pursued. The whole question is' one of consitutional rights, and nothing else. Mr. Mazzini's chlracter and habits and society are nothing to the point, unless connected with some certain or probable evidence of evil intentions or treasonable plots. We know nothing, and care nothing about him. Ile may be the most worthless and the most vicious creature in the world. But this is no reason of itself why his letters should be detained and opened. The only reason by which such a harsh proceeding could be explained and defended—the be lief of some criminal design on .his part—was not assigned. The Minister deprived Mazzini of his letters and his character at once; but offered neither reparation nor explanation. The world, therefore, is left to imagine every - Conceivable ground of suspicion against a man who has been subjected to treat ment which nothing but the most extraordinary circum stances could palliate; and the most dangerous precedent has been established of a Cabinet Minister stretching the prero gatives of his office even to the violation of honour and of liberty, and then sheltering himself under an arbitrary con struction of a constitutional act. Such are the uses to which responsible government may be turned. Sir J. Graham must have been studying Vidocq and Fouche. (From the Advertiser.) The country is under no ordinary obligations to Mr. Dun combe for the spirited manner in which, on Friday night, he brought the conduct of Sir James Graham, in authorising the opening of private letters at the Post-office, under the notice of the House of Commons. The parties complaining of the opening and detention of their letters were only four in number ; but it is not improbable that other similar cases have occurred. The admission was wrung from the Home Secretary, that in the case of Mr. Mazzini he had issued a warrant to the Post-office authorities to open his letters.. Now, this individual being a foreigner, that circumstance constitutes a material aggravation of the offence committed' by the above-named functionary. It places this 'country in the degrading position of playing the part of a spy and in former to a foreign Power. In this individual case the Home Secretary appears in the enviable character of a police agent to the Emperor of Russia. It is not pretended that the letters of Mr. Mazzini were opened at the Post office in con sequence of a suspicion that something treasonable towards this country would be found in them. The supposition was, that they would be found to contain • treasonable matter in reference to the Government of Russia. Sir James Graham thus becomes the spy of Nicholas. It may be doubted whe: timer Europe could produce .two more kindred spirits. For the credit of our, country—for the honour of the English name, let it be everywhere known that there is not another man in her Majesty's dominions who would be guilty of what Mr. Hume called the "disgraceful," and Mr. Duncombe the "dirty" work, which the Home Secretary has thus performed to the Emperor of Russia. It has always been the boast of England, that the friends of freedom, when driven from other countries by the bloodhounds of despotism have ever found a refuge in England. Hence the exiles of all countries flock in crowds to our shores. It the espionage system introduced by Sir James Graham were to be sanc tioned or winked at by Parliament, this would be so no more. We should no longer be able to boast of offering an asylum to the proscribed patriots of other lauds. The only vindica tion which that functionary offered of his conduct was, that lie had the authority of an Act of Parliament for what he has done. The assertion is unfounded. No Act of Par liament Confers any such authority on the Home Secretary or on any body else. It is true that, in the reign of Queen Anne, an 'Act received the sanction of the Legis lature, empowering Government to cause any particular letter to be opened by the Post-office authorities, pro vided Government were in possession of specific in formation which justified the belief that such letter contained treasonable matter. But the present is not a case in point. Sir James Graham did not, and could not, pretend that he had in his possession any information respecting the letter of Mr. Mazzini. It appears to have been a case of purely gratuitous suspicion, and, consequently, an act of wanton tyranny. To open any letter in the Post-office, is declared by express statute to be, except in the particular circum stances to which we have alluded, a misdemeanour. It would be a novel spectacle, and one as gratifying in this in stance as novel, to see a Home Secretary standing at the bar of the Old Bailey. We should then have a practical proof that Ministerial responsibility is something more than a name—that it is not, as has hitherto been supposed, a mere fiction, but an actual positive fact. That Sir James G senora should have acte4 as he has done, can surprise no one who has watched his career. There is not within the confines of Europe a man in whose composition there is more of the genuine despot. Our free institutions have prevented the full development of -his real character. In Russia he would have eclipsed Nicholas himself. He would have been the prince of despots. As it is, he has gone great lengths. What has his administration of affairs in the Home Department been, but an uninterrupted series of ty rannical acts ? This last is the boldest of the series. It is so gross and glaring, that not one solitary individual in the House of Commons ventured a word in his favour. There he stood like a criminal in the pillory, exposed to the pitiless peltings of every Member who spoke. Nor is the matter ended. He has but received a portion of his punishment. Mr. Duncombe is to drag him a second time before the bar of the House and the public, when the school-boy remark, " Hit him hard—be has no friends," will, we doubt not, be again strikingly illustrated. lie must be taught that the espionage system of France and Russia cannot with impunity be at tempted to be introduced into this country. He must be made to feel that the bare endeavour to engraft any of the more odious features of the despotic systems which prevail in foreign countries, on the free institutions of England, will be to incur a responsibility of the gravest kind. FATAL TERMINATION OF THE ACCIDENT AT THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, WAKEFIELD.—OR Sunday morning last, Mrs. Haselgrave, the sister-in-law of the proprietor of the gardens, whose injuries from the attack of a bear were de scribed in last week's Mercury, terminated her miseries in death. The unfortunate female's recovery was thought all but impossible from the first. Verdiet—Accidental death. Mrs. Haselgrave, the wife of the proprietor, is recovering.—Leeds Mercury. SUDDEN DEATH.—On Saturday last, between eleven and twelve o'clock, Mr. Webb, an independent gen tleman, residing at Langley, Bucks, entered the Uxbridge Bank. He appeared in go o d he a lth an d sp i r i ts, an d was con versing cheerfully with the cashier, when he suddenly fell to the ground without an exclamation or groan. Mr. * Collins, the cashier, was, unfortunately alone in the Bank at the time. He immediately went round and endeavoured to raise and re-animate the unfortunate gentleman, calling loudly for assistance, but before he could get round the pay-table the breath had departed. An inquest was held in the evening. The deceased has left a widow and four or live children to lament their sudden bereavement. The widow has been in a most awfully frantic state ever since she heard of the lamentable occurrence. She had walked a mile on her way to meet Mr. Webb, who had promised to return in an hour, when they were, in company, to proceed to Windsor to fetch their sons from - nhool. -Every preparation had been made, for a family festival on the occasion ; and after the unfortu nate lady had waited until her fears were becoming over whelming, the messengers of woe at last fell in with her. THE MINISTERS. MEETING AT THE CARLTON. H• A meeting of Membe r s of P ar liament, who ordinarily vote on the Ministerial side of the House, was held in the drawing room of the Carlton Club, at four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, pursuant to a requisition signed by five Members. Between CO and 70 Members of Parliament were present, Sir John Yarde Buller taking the chair. Mr. D'IsRAEla inquired by what authority and for what pox pose the meeting had beets convened ? Lord Isor.srnE replied that he, in conjunction with Mr- Forbes Mackenzie and the other requisitionists, had thought it advisable, after the vote of Friday night, that there should he. a meeting, and had, accordingly, issued a notice '. convening it. - Mr. MACKENZIE added, that he was authorised to state. that if the meeting then assembled would unanimously sign a declaration of confidence in Sir R. Peel's Government,. ha ' would not resign office, but continue to conduct the affairs: of • 1 the country. , • Mr. FERIIAND asked by whom the statement had .been authorised, and whether it was expected .that the sixty lConservatives who voted with Mr. Miles in opposition to the 1 Government on Friday night were expected to rescind their - votes ? , Mr. MACKENZIE declined to answer these questions. Mr. CuRISTOPHER, however, said that he was one of those - • who had voted against Sir R. Peel on Friday; but hewas still prepared to sign a declaration of confidence in the Govern.- ment, rather than let in the Whigs. Lord SANOON. prtifessed himself willing to simi a general declaration of confidence, reserving to ,himself, 'however, a right of private judgment. [ Such we presume as he exercised on Friday.] • it HowAr.n DorGLAs was prepared to vote unlimited con- • . fidence. _ Mr. I)I.ACKSTONM declined to support so extensive a.de clarstion. Mr. Itt.AKENtonE said that the meeting was one of Con— sets'atives, and he was surprised therefore at Mr. Perrang's presence. Mr. D'lstt.tmt challenged Mr. Blalemore to of Conservatism, but Mr. Inakemore declined so embarrassing a task. _. - Several members expressed their dread of a declaration of " unlimited confidence,' as they were quite in the dark as to the Minister's future measures, and knew not which inte rest might be next assailed. The meeting, which was very noisy, and evidently, far from unanimous, closed without coming to any decision, and adjourned uutil 12 o'clock to-day. The question, how 4 cant we meet our constituents ? was frequently and anxiously repeated. ::_ ~- • The principal Members of the corps operatique of . Drury-lane Theatre—Miss Rainforth, Harrison, and Stretton —proceed on a provincial tour early in the ensuing week, commencing at Dublin. THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. AND THE POLISH BALL. —A misstatement on this subject having appeared last week in the Standard, and been copied by several other papers, we think proper to contradict it. It has been stated that the Emperor of Russia offered a donation of 500/. to the Committee of the Polish Ball, and that this donation was declined. Upon inquiry we find that the story is without foundation. The simple truth is, that the Russian Minister took tickets from the Ladies Patronesses, as any other private individual might have done, considering the Polish Ball as given merely for a charitable purpose.—Post. FRANCE AND Monocco.—Orders were received at Woolwich Dockyard from the Admiralty, on the night of Friday, requiring the Firefly steam. vessel, Captain Beech y, to be got ready for immediate particular service. The Fircely had not been reported ready for sea, and in the ordinary course would not have been ready for a week ; but by dint of great exertions of the officers, crew, and the dockyard men, she was stored, provisioned, and actually sailed out of port on Saturday noon. She is ordered to Spithead, at Which place she will receive on board dispatches omitted to be sent by the last mail-packet, instructing the British Consul at. Tangiers what course to pursue in the rupture between France and Morocco. After conveying them to Tangiers she is to return home, or be otherwise disposed of, according to cir cumstances. Great credit is due to the Commodore Superin tendent of Woolwich Dockyard, Sir F. Collier, K.C.8., who was on board the Firefly at four a.m. on Saturday, and per sonally superintended her preparations for sea. Punuc PETITIONS.—The 29th Report of the Com mittee on Public Petitions has just made its appearance. We find the gross total number of petitions to the House of Commons on various important public measures to be as follow, viz.:—Against the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, 2,403 petitions,- signed by no less than 290, 4 96 persons ; in favour of the same Bill, 601 petitions, signed by 136,644 persons; for an alteration of the measure, 864 petitioners; legalizing marriages in Ireland by Presbyterian ministers, 412 peti tions, signed by 159,245 persons; against the union of the episcopal dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph, 274 peti tions, signed by 15,613 persons; against a repeal of the corn-laws, 1,878 petitions, signed by 128,093 persons; for a repeal of the differential duties on sugar, four petitions, signed by 66,434 persons; for the encouragement of art unions, 13 petitions, signed by 704 persons; in favour of the County Courts Bills, 13 petitions, signed by 1,049 persona; for an alteration of the l'oor-law Amendment Act, 70 peti tions, signed by 3,218 persons; for an alteration of the Poor-law Amendment Bill, 30 petitions, signed by 10,392 persons.

FIRE AT RICHMOND.—SundAy morning, between the hours of two and three, the neighbourhood of Richmond, Surrey, was thrown into . a state of considerable excitement and confusion, in consequence of a fire of a very destructive character breaking out in the premises belonging to Mr. Ed wards, a pawnbroker, carrying on an extensive business in George-street, Richmond. The police constable in going his rounds, perceived a great body of smoke break thiough one of the upper windows in the eastern portion of the building. He raised an alarm, and succeeded in arousing the inmates, consisting of Mr. Edwards and his shopboy. On the former getting up, he found that the door of his bed-room was in flames, and had but a few more minutes elapsed Mr. Ed wards would probably have perished. Engines of the neigh bouring parishes were early at the scene of conflagration, and afterwards from London. The flames were eventually so far subdued as to allay r.ll apprehension of further exten sion. The (image done is considerable. Nothing remains of Mr. Edwards' premises save the bare outer walls, and they are in a very dangerdus state. The premises of Mr. Tolley, harness-maker to her Majesty, were partially injured. THE M EE TING OF TWOPENNY P OSTMEN.—Oa Sunday afternoon a meeting of the twopenny 'post • men took place in the Assembly-rooms, Turnagain-lane, Snow-hill, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioning the Postmaster-General with respect to the losses sustained since the alteration of the " extra" duty, as also an increase in the amount of superannuation money. There were nearly 400 persons present. Mr. Rich mond was called to the chair. Several of the body addressed the meeting at great length, and a petition, it was agreed, should be presented to the Earl of Lonsdale, to which will be attached an abstract, showing the actual amount of pay received by each person, before and since the extra deliveries. REMOVAL OF DALMAS, THE CONVICTED MITE'. DERER.—On Saturday, Mr; Cope, the Governor of Newgate, accompanied by one of the principal turnkeys, conveyed 's Dalmas, the convicted murderer, in a cab from Newgate to Hors.emonger-lane goal, in pursuance of the directions re ceived by the Governor from Mr. Baron Gurney. • He was delivered over to the custody of Mr. Keene. His execution on the flat roof of Horsemonger-lane gaol will take place, it is understood, on Monday fortnight. THE GOWN OF PORTSOKEN WARD.—The name of Thomas Johnson, Alderman of Portsoken Ward, having ap peared in the Gazette, in the list of bankrupts, the citizens of London expect that the gown will be immediately resigned into the hands of the constituency. They are led to this ex pectation by the fact that at the last election Alderman Thomas Johnson promised, in the event of a failure in busi ness, or other incapacity, to retire from the duties of Alder man. The worthy old gentleman labours now, we regret to say, under a double incapacity, for his bank at Romford will not only be unable to pay two shillings in the pound of the liabilities of the concern, but lie is unable himself, inconse quence of hardness of hearing, to perform the duties of Alder man with anything like efficiency. Already the following gentlemen have declared their intention to offer themselves for the office, in the event of the resignation of Alderman Thomas Johnson :—Mr. David Salomon, Mr. Sheriff Moon, Mr. Pitcher (one of the late Sheriffs), Mr. Bishop, of America square, and Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey, the Commissioner of the City police. SYMFATHY FOR IRELAND. —ln the course of three days thirty-three Aldermen and Councillors of the borough of 'Birmingham signed a requisition to the Mayor, along with acout 700 burgesses and other inhabitants, to call a town meeting, to address the Crown in reference to the sentence of Mr. O'Connell and his fellow martyrs in Ireland. This spirited example will, we trust, be speedily followedthrongh out England. The meeting is to be held this day, under the presidency of the Mayor. THE MAILS.— SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 16.—The Oriental Company's steam-ship, the Pacha, Captain Wilson, arrived in the docks, from Gibraltar, yesterday, at noon, and landed the Peninsula and Mediterranean mails, which were transmitted to the General Post-office by train, so as to enable those for the north of England to be forwarded by the last night's mail from London. Her dates are—Gibraltar. 7th; Cadiz, Bth; Lisbon, 10th ; Oporto, 1 lth ; and Vigo, 12th. The Pacha has thirty-eight passengers, among whom were the Duchess of Manchester and family, who proceeded last evening to London by the six o'clock train. The Royal West India mail-packet, the Tweed, Captain Sharp, will sail on her outward voyage with the mails for the West Indies, to-morrow, at three o'clock. She has about twenty-three passengers, and an average number of parcels. The Avon, Captain Sturtt, is due on the 20th, with the West India mails ; she is expected to have a full cargo of passengers. INAUGURATION OF THE WELLINGTON STATUE. In consequence of the arrival of the splendid granite blocks, some weighing upwards of two tons, and the marble base ment, for the equestrian statue of Field-Marshal his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the chef d'reurre of our late tele brated sculptor Chantrey, a great number of men were hard at work yesterday in preparing the pedestal to receive the ee bronze cast of the Hero of Waterloo. It was very doubtful whether it would be possible to have it erected by to-day, the 29th anniversary of that glorious battle, which was e the downfall of the ambitious and. immortal Napoleon, and eeeee restored peace and commerce to Europe; but by the greatest ' eee) exertions the statue will be placed up to-day, on the site s . opposite the portico of the New Royal Ekehange, whe re once stodd old Bank-buildings; end will be inaugurated with doe ceremony, on Tuesday, the 18th institnt, by the Lord Ma,-or k 7 and-Corporation of the City of London, in - honour of the Feat warrior of the age, who is the only one of the Holy Alliance who now survives the scythe that has sent monarchs and heroes to the tomb since June, 1815.—Sunday Times. . . f ti ' t. ~~i M ~; lt`/~ . •:. i !-• PUBLICATIONS.
