Fifty per Cent. to be paid up by Instalments, and a reserved power of enlarging the Capital if required. DIRECTORS. Edward Baines, Esq., M.P. G. B. Matthew, Esq., M.P. Edward S. Cayley, Esq., M.P. Edward Oxenford, Esq. Sir James Gambier. John Ramsbottarn, Esq.. M.P. Thos. Grimsditch, Esq., M.P. George Rennie, Jun., Esq. Mark Gambier, Esq. John Shovell, Esq. John Harvey, Esq. John Taylor, Esq. Thos. Hawkes, Esq., AI. P. A. J. Valpv, Esq. Arthur Todd Holroyd, Esq. B. B. Williams, Esq. Jonathan Hopkinson, Esq. Thomas Wyse, Esq., M.P. Sommost.—Samuel arguments the expediency of establishing this great National Bank. Existing circum stances will suggest the strongest. The object is to unite all . that sound in the system of Joint-stock Banking, with all that is respectable in the system of private Banking, and at the same time to avoid the errors and evils of both. Shares of One Thousand Pounds each, with 500/. to be paid up, will prevent an admixture of speculative adventures with opulent capitalists. The Joint-stock system of Banking to be Sound as a whole should be sound in each o f it s parts. .Th . e Royal Bank of Liverpool hasbeen formed upon the same principle—in brief period of thr ee years its shares have at-li ved at a premium ofaboutsOper cent. London must ben. better field for such a system than Liverpool. The Commercial Bank of London is capable of being the focus of the Joint-stock Banks of the whole kingdom. The Commercial Bank of London combines three important advantages—viz., a larg e cap i tal, permanent responsibility, and uniformity in the system of management ; thus securing 'that acknowledged desideratum, a guarantee that the capital of the Bank shall not be withdrawn, nor its efficient action impaired by the death or retirement of co-partners. The Commercial Bank of London has been founded as a Bank of Deposit for making advances by loan or otherwise, and more especially as a point of concentration for such Provincial Joint-stock and other country Banks as conduct their business on sound banking principles. Three Managers will be appointed. The qualification of each to be a long previous experience in the banking or discounting of London, by w hi c h t h e k nowledge, decision, and secrecy of a private bank will be add e d to t h e super i or solidity of a sound joint-stock system. Interests on deposits will be allowed on special agreement only, no Bank not having the advantage of issuing its own paper can be expected to grant interest on floating deposits or on current accounts; but w hil e recogn i s i ng secur it y as th e legiti mate basis of every banking transaction, the Directors will be desirous at all times, but especially in periods of financial prep sure, to meet the just demands ' of every class of society, com mercial, manufacturing, and agricultural. Ten per cent. will be required to be paid on the allotment of the Shares, and such further calls made as may be necessary, by instalments not exceeding 10 per cent., of which three months' notice will be given by public advertisement, but not more than 50 per cent. of the subscribed capital will be called for without the concurrence of three-fourths in value of the Proprietors at a General Meeting to be held for that purpose. In order to limit the responsibility o f th e S u b scr ib ers , i t is intended to provide by the deed of settlement, that in the event of one-third of the paid up capital being lost, it shall be com pulsory on the Board of Directors to convene a meeting of the Proprietors, and with the concurrence of a majority in value, to dissolve the Company. It is intended to establish a Branch at the West-end of the Metropolis, but at no other place. A General Meeting of Proprietors will be held annually, when a statement of the affairs of the Bank will be laid before them. Applications for Prospectuses, or for Shares, to be made to the Solicitor, at 25, Throgmorton-street ; Messrs. Smith and Kinnear, George-street, Edinburgh ; to Mr. Buchanan and Aitkin, Glasgow; Messrs. Blanchard and Richardson, York; Messrs. J. 11. and G. Ridsdale, and R. B. Watson and Co., Leeds ; William Irlam, Esq., Solicitor, Liverpool ; Messrs. William Reynolds and Sons, Liverpool. Deposits received by the Royal Bank of Liverpool; Messrs. Percival, Union Bank, Northampton; and the National Bank of Scotland, at Edin burgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen, and all its other branches. Applications from the country to be post paid, and to be ac companied by a reference to some party in London. GOOD LOCKS A PREVENTIVE TO CRIME. The Police Reports almost daily show to those who have Property of importance the necessity of procuring a good Lock. Crime to a very serious extent may be traced to the negligence indifference o r shown as to the quality of Locks—bad locks giving no security whatever, but enabling the dishonest and the curious to open and relock to lull suspicion, by means of other ordinary keys. or pick them with the common pick keys ; thus private stock in trade, jewels, plate, documents, and Papers of the most serious nature, are exposed to the prying curiosity of those left in trust in the absence of principals. To avoid these ruinous losses and exposures procure the SEVEN GUARDED LOCK, warranted and made by S. MORDAN and CO. London, that defies the most ingenious burglar, or the most determined meddler, whose love of curiosity overrules every other feature. The Lock may be had by personal appli cation, or by letter, at the following prices :—Till, Cupboard, or Drawer Lock, is. ; Portfolio, ss. ; Travelling Trunk, is. 6d.; Book Edge and private Ledgers, Bs. 6d. ; Plate Chest, Cash Box, or Desk Lock, Bs. 6d. ; Box or Guard for Iron Doors or Chests, Street-door, Dead Locks, and Stock Locks for Granaries, 14s. 6d. ; all with two keys. This description of Lock is patronized at Newgate and Whitecross-street Prison, and in most of the principal Establishments in London. S.

SOLONIONS' newl invented SPECTACLE LENSES and INVISIBLE OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR for DEAF PERSONS. From James Blundell, Esq , M.D. : " I have now tried for some time the Messrs. Folcmons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens ; the relief is very great, in particular by candle light, and in course of use for a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like myself, may stand in need of them. " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D. 1 . No 1, Great George-street, Westminster." " We, the undersigned, have been for some tune making use o Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute particle with perfect accuracy. These Lenses are par ticularly pleas int by candle light, being cooling to the sight, and softening the bright and brilliant lights. George G. Sigmond, Esq. M.D , 24, Dover-street. J.

NATURAL ADVANTAGES. TO the real importance of Improving the Ad vantages bestowed by Nature, may unquestionably be referred the origin of the TOILET, having always for a prin cipal object continued Delicacy of the Complexion, the accom plishment of it has been for nearly a CENTURY past con fided to a preparation in which singular elegance is combined with perfect safety. GOWL AND'S LOTION removes every species •f local Irritability of the Skin with a facility extremely gratifying, subdues DISCOLORATIONS of long standing, effectually prevents those, accruing from Summer Heat, and its refreshing properties contribute largely to establish and sustain the " animated tint" which ranks so highly in the list of per sonal recommendations.

RESIGNATION OF MR. GIBSON EAST INDIA ROUSE. A Special Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday, at the Company's House in Leadenhall street, to take into consideration the propriety of petition ing both Houses of Parliament, praying the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the commercial re lations between Great Britain and India, especially with reference to the reduction of the duties levied in the ports of the United Kingdom, on arti c l es t h e products and •ma nufactures of British India. The Court was further made special for the purpose cf submitting to the Proprietors the draft of a Bill now before Parliament, entitled an Act to confirm certain rules and orders of the Supreme Courts of Judicature at Fortwilliam and Madras; to empo.ver the same Courts, and the Supreme Court of Judicatur e of Bombay to make rules and orders concerning pleadings. Sir ROBERT JENKINS in the chair. The Minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. Certain accounts were ordered to be laid on the Pro prietors' table. Mr. MONTGOMERY MARTIN then rose for the pur pose of proposing a petition from that Court to Par liament for a Committee of Inquiry into the whole scale of duties imposed upon all imports from the East Indies. It must be a matter of congratulation to all parties who were much interested in the welfare of the people of India, that the requisition which had been the means of assem bling that meeting, was as numerously signed as any which had ever been presented to the Court of Directors. That meeting had not been called for a selfish purpose, for with the prosperity or decay of India must England prosper or suffer. Ile quite agreed in the trite remark which h ad been frequently made, that next to a good Constituti ona l G overnment an enlightened despotism was the best, but he could not agree with what Mr. Macaulay said in India, that that country .now pos sessed an enlightened despotism. England had always acted on a selfish and most erroneous policy with regard to India. There had not been one act of wise commercial policy during the last two hundred years, and he was afraid that what had so begun in injustice might end in ruin. The natives of India had petitioned Parliament ten years ago for the very same boon which the East India Company were now called upon to demand, but that petition had been treated as if it had come from a distant land, indeed, it did not receive that attention which it would have done had it been from persons having no connection with Eng land at all. The whole produce of India was so loaded with taxation, that it was virtually prohibited, and the operation of those laws was, that the manufacturing industry of England was cramped, because we would not take any of their products. The millions of India were suffering great hardships from the selfish and un wise prohibitory duties, which were placed upon their pro ducts. It was however as much an English question as an Indian one. If a wise policy were pursued towards India the advantage would accrue as much to England as to that country. It was stated by some persons that la dle must cease to become a manufacturing country, but why should that be the case? He must protest against the doctrine that one hundred millions of people should be come mere hewers of wood and drawers of water for this country. England, with her most beautiful machinery, should compete in a fair manner with the natives of Indis, and the natives of India ought to be allowed to compete with England. The imports into this country annually ave raged 34,720,000/, while India, that vast, immense country, contributed little more than four millions out of that vast amount, and even the greater part of that small amount was not a legitimate trade. It was a mere trade of remittance. That country which was most excellently adapted for the growth of sugar, did not contribute to the consumption of this country more than the small island of St. Vincent. Supposing even that India were to be kept as a farm for this country, there would be millions of pro duce ready to be sent to these markets, which, if taken, would give a vast increase to our manufacturing industry. Was it not strange that India, with its millions of inhabitants, did not consume to the amount of 6i. per head of our ma• nufactures, while the negoes in the West Indies consumed to the amount of 5/. p: e• head and even the new set tlements in Australia consumed to the amount of Si. per head, and the populaton of Honduras, which had a wide surrounding territory, actually consumed of our manufac tures to the amount of 50/. a head. That proved that the question was an English one, and that we wanted no more new colonies for the purpose of employing our artisans; we had only to cultivate those which we had already got. Where now were the great East India merchants, who were expected to rise to fill the place of the East India Company ? We had none with capital fitted for such an enterprise, and the cause was our prohibitory and unjust laws. In 1812 the imports from India into England of manufacted goods amounted to two millions, while in the year . 1836 they amounted only to 572/. 12s. 63. We had acted with less justice towards India than any portion of the continent. —( Hear, hear.) The treaty con cluded on the 3d of July last year at Vienna was tenfold more to the advantage of Austria than anything which had ever been done for India.—( Hear, hear.) By the de bate on the Sugar Duties last week it would be seen that every facility was likely to be given to Brazil, where fifty thousand slaves were imported annually, whilst our fellow subjects in India were considered to be of no importance —( Shame. )!. An immense deal of inj u ry h a d b een d one to England by acting on false principles of economy, by despising the markets at our own doors, while we sought to cultivate relations with those who did not want us. England had gained nothing by injustice to India ; it would have been better if she never bad acted with injus tice to India, for she was now reaping some of the retri butive effects which always flowed from the commission of evil, in the depressed state of our manufactures. In asking for a reduction of the duties on East India produce, he wished to demonstrate that it would be to the interest of England, commercially and financially. He would take the article of sugar. In 1800 the quantity consumed in England was 30 lbs. per head, but now it was not more than 161bs. This great reduction was owing to the ex cessive duty. The inhabitants of England, about 28,000,000, consumed annually 4,000,000 cwt,, about four ounces weekly for each individual, yielding a revenue to the state of 4,600,0001. By re ducing the duty, the consumption would be extended to Ilb. for each individual, which was less than was consumed in France. This would require 13,000,000 cwt. which at 103. duty would yield 7,500,0001. revenue, and give an immense stimulus to the interests of British commerce and industry at home and abroad.—( Hear, hear.) If it were said this was too large a reduction to make at once, let a reduction take place of Is. annually until it settled at los. He would now mention the article of coffee, which India could yield to an illimitable extent, and of the finest quality. The 28,000,000 of inhabitants of the country consumed less than Ilb. a year for each person • whilst in the United States, where the duty was only ld. per lb., the consump tion was five times more than that of England, with nearly a double quantity'of tea.--(Hear, hear.) The duty in England amounted to 600,0001. a year. If the duty were reduced from 6d. to 3d., the consumption would be in creased to at least Sibs. a year for each person, yielding a revenue of 1,750,000/.—( Hear, hear.) When he consi dered that there were in India 100,000,000 of British sub jects yielding a revenue of 20,000,000/. to the general pur poses of the empire, maintaining an army unequalled in the world for its discipline and good conduct—when these facts were passed over unheeded, and less attention was paid to that country than almost any other, it grieved him to be compelled to make statements which derogated from the honour and justice of England, and seek redress rather by appeals to self-interest than the great principles of universal justice.—( Hear, hear.) He looked at India in a large and comprehensive sense, and wished to unite with us in the bonds of good feeling those distant communities which only knew us by name. There was not a servant of the Company who had not deplored our conduct towards:lndia, and endeavoured to effect a change. Their efforts, how ever, had been vain ; but he trusted that now only one de sire would be shown to benefit India as well as England. This was a solemn duty which we had to perform towards those millions of people.—( Hear, hear.) He had long sought to procure commercial justice for India, which would be the means of increasing the revenues consequent on the expense of extending civilization ; which would be the means of raising England from the present desponding state of her commerce, by offering in India an incalculable mart on which our manufacturing power might rest tri umphantly.—( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Proprietor con cluded by moving that the following petition be adopted by the meeting : The petition of the lion. East India Company to the Imperial Parliament, showeth— Ist. That the subjects of the British Crown in Asia, under the Government of the Hon. East India Company, amount to about 100,000,000 of industrious and intelligent people, who possess strong claims on the consideration of the Imperial Parliament. " 21. That British India is not aburthen on the finances of England, but, on the contrary, yields an annual revenue of nearly 20,000,0001. sterling ; by which an army of 30,000 Europeans, and 170,000 native troops is main tained, and honourable and useful employment furnished to many of our countrymen as civil functionaries at borne and abroad ; and that, by reason of its great extent of territory, vast population, and immense resources,:it materially con tributes to the political power, maritime strength, and general prosperity of the British empire. 4 " 3d. That British India being possessed of a fertile soil, great variety of climate, and abundance of skilful labour, is capable of supplying Europe with almost every species of tropical produce of the best quality, at the cheapest rate ; but that at present England enjoys a very small portion of the commercial advantages which British India offers to the merchants, manufacturers, and artizans of the United Kingdom. " 4th. That for a quarter of a century British goods have been admitted, by a law of the Imperial Parliament, into all the ports of British India free of duty as regards woollens, metals, wrought and unwrought, marine stores, &c., and at a duty not exceeding 2-4 per cent. on cotton and all other goods ; but the raw products on manufactures prepared in India by our fellow-subjects during the same period, have had onerous, and in some instances prohibi tory duties imposed on them on their introduction into the ports of the United Kingdom, while the productions of Foreign states in amity with us have been freely admitted under the reciprocity system. " sth. That the consequence of such a course of pro ceeding has been the destruction to an immense extent of the manufactures of British India, whereby several hun dred thousand of our subjects have been ruined ; whilst the endeavours to introduce the new products of the soil into the United Kingdom have not met with such encourage ment as to alleviate the privation and distress produced by partial legislation, or to enable the people of India to become extensive purchasers of British manufactures. " 6:h. That it is the opinion of your petitioners that the PRICE sd. Imperial Parliament, by acting on a system of wise and generous policy towards India, might enable this country to become independent of all foreign nations for the re gular supply of those staple articles on which her manu factures depend; and at the same time obtain a large and certain mart for her own commerce ; whereby the people of England and of India would be united by the strong tie of mutual advantage, and our dominion in the East would rest on the broad and sure foundation of justice. " 7th. That your petitioners, being entrusted with the responsible duty of governing British India, and being anxiously solicitous for the welfare and happiness of the millions of their fellow.subjects committed to their care, earnestly desire the appointment of a Select Committee of your Hon. House to investigate the commercial rela- I tions between England and India, with a view to the speedy and effectual adoption of such measures-as may secure to our fellow subjects in India that mercantile reci procity to which they are so fully entitled, but which has hitherto been withheld, and which, in the opinion of your petitioners, would equally promote the commercial, finan cial, and political interests of both countries." Sir C. FORBES seconded the motion with much plea sure, and as it had been introduced in such a clear, and plain, and eloquent manner, it would he unnecessary for him to detain the Court for more than a few moments. He would merely suggest that the petition ought to be sent to both Houses of Parliament, and that they ought to be sent in as early as possible, in order that they might re ceive consideration before the next Session. It was a strange yet a true fact, that coffee, the produce of Brazil, carried from Brazil to the Cape, was allowed to come into this country as the produce of a British colony, yet' that coffee, the produce of Mysore, was not allowed to come into ft.is country unless at an extravagant duty, yet that province was as much a part of our Indian pos sessions as any other.---(Hear.) Let them look at the situation of Java. In 1816, when it was given up to the Dutch by Sir S. Raffles, the revenue did not amount to more than 100,0001., while now it yielded upwards of a million. Compare that with the situation of India, where there was an actual deficiency in the revenue. He for one did not see hew the Proprietors could expect to receive the'.r dividends unless there was a g"eat improvement in the revenues of India, and that could only be obtained by a full reciprocity between the two nations. They must agi tate the question in order to bring it fairly before the country. He trusted that his lion. Friend would so far modify as to move his petition in the shape of resolutions Mr. M. MARTIN had no objection to adopt the sugges tion of the Hon. Baronet. An HON. PROPRIETOR said that at the time alluded to by the Hon. Mover of the resolution there was a duty of sixty-seven per cent. upon the manufactured goods of India brought into this country. That duty bad now been reduced to ten per cent., yet the trade had fallen off—a proof that India could not compete with England. There were some really practical evils which might h' complained of. For insttnce, East India spirits paid a duty of 153., while the spirits from the West Indies paid only 9s. 6d. There was an actual grievance with which they might go to Parliament, with a strong case in their favour. Again, in the article of tobacco, they had a good ground of complaint -_a reduction of 31. upon two shil lings had been made upon tobacco in favour of Canada, where tobacco could not be grown. She had not been able to take advantage of the proffered boon, but let that boon be given to India, and let her be put upon the foot ing of all our other Colonies, and she would do well India could never become a manufacturing rival of this country. Ail she wanted was the introduction of British capital for the production of the three staple ar ticles of cotton, tobacco, and indigo; let those articles be cultivated most sedulously, let them Le introduced into this country upon terms that India ought to command, and she wanted no more. Sir ROBERT CAMPBELL, after entering into a variety of details relative to the amount of the imports and exports of India and this country, said that it would have a very beneficial operation on the minds of the people of India if they found themselves treated with that degree of justice which the interests of humanity demanded.—( Hear, hear.) lie thought it the duty of the country to give every en couragement to the manufactures and produce of India, and cheerfully supported the resolutions which had been moved by Mr. Martin. COI. SYKES also briefly supported the resolutions. Mr. MARTIN replied, expressing his hope that the reso lutions would pass unanimously, and tint the opposition of the Hon. Proprietor would be withdrawn. Mr. PIERCE suggested that it would be better to refer the petition to the Court of Directors.—(No, us.) IL? thought the proper plan was to encourage the growth of produce, especially sugar, cotton, and tobacco. M. WEEDING said there were two propositions, which he thought would obtain all they wanted. Let them pe tition that the produce and manufactures oflndia should be admitted at the same duty as those of other colonies, and the other, that no further taxation be laid on her ma nufactures than was laid on those of England ou their in troduction into India. These two points, if adopted, would carry out all they wished. The CHAIRMAN said the Court of Directors had not bees idle for they had obtained an equalization of the Sugar Duties—no doubt they were trammelled in some degree, and that was a subject for further exertions. They had also pressed upon the attention of Government the injustice of not allowing Mysore coffee to be imported. He agreed generally in the resolutions, but he would suggest that it would be better that they should be referred to the Direc tors, who might be instructed to draw up a petition which they would submit to the Court. Ile moved accordingly. Mr. MARRIOTT seconded the motion with pleasure. He saw many on the other side of the Bar who had grown grey in the service of India, and he was sure the whole matter would be safe in their hands. Mr. WARDEN, a Director, entered into a long statement of figures, in order to show that the trade of India had greatly increased !ince 1806, and that the commercial po licy of the Court of Directors bad had the contrary effect of having ruined India. He trusted the Court would concur in the motion of the Hon. Chairman. Mr. A. CHAPNIAN thought that all the produce of India, as well as her manufzetures, should be admitted as freely as from any other part of the dominions of her Majesty. Sir C. FORBES said there seemed to be a general feel ing in favour of the motion of the Hon. Chairman, but he must congratulate that side of the Bar for having awoke the Directors even at that late hour of the day; they had never heard of the petition before, and probably they never would have heard of it had it not been for that meeting. The motion was then unanimously agreed to. The COURT then agreed to the Bill for allowing the rules and regulations of the Courts in India, and adjourned. BANK OF IRELAND MONOPOLY (From the Pilot.) We must not be lulled into security by the statement in the last Evening Post, that " nothing definite has yet been decided" respecting the Bank monopoly. Mr. O'Conn ill assumed, and in the presence of Mr. Spring Rice, and without contradiction, that whatever the length of the period, the breadth of the monopoly would infest fifty miles extent. But people should not suppose it is confined to the fifty miles. The existence of a monopoly which go verns at will, the price of every commodity, and which only refreshes, when it does refresh, one party, is an injury to all. It affects the remotest parts of the country as well as the more proximate, being everywhere detrimental to that equality of supply, and to the legitimate facilities, without which trade can never be prosperous. All Ireland is called upon, and within the proscribed circle particularly called upon, to bestir itse!f, and put an end to one of our most immediate operative grievances, an interested mo nopoly, in the making and issuing of money. So extensive is the conspiracy against the liberty of the people of this country—bound and entwined as that liberty is with her commercial freedom and independence—that even the ordinary requisition, calling for an expression of public opinion, which Mr. Dixon left on Friday in the Commercial Buildings for signature, had been removed from the table and locked up, lest even a solitary signature should chance to be attached to it. However, even this will not save the expiring monopoly which public indigna tion has marked for destruction. The meeting will forth with be held, and the public voice will be expressed, not withstanding. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (LLOYD'S.)

On Friday last, a meeting of the ley-payers of the parish of Rochdale was held in the parish church, pur suant to notice, for the purpose of making a Church rate for the current year; the Rev. William Robert Hay in the Chair. As the parishioners had refused to grant a rate only fourteen days previously, considerable excitement was occasioned at being so soon called toge ther again for the same purpose. The day before the meeting, a placard was extensively posted in the town, calling upon the ley -payers to remember " who it was that plundered them for a Church-rate, which even the partiality of the Ecclesiastical Courts was compelled to pronounce illegal, and who robbed the dying man of his Bible, which was publicly sold in the streets of Roch dale." Mr. ABRAHAM BRIERLEY, the Vicar's Warden, read the estimates for the coming year, which, amongst other items, contained 201. for the- rent of the new burial-ground ; organist, 20/. ; singers, 20/. ; sacra mental wine, 121. ; clerk, 10/. ; organ-blower, 2/. ; beadle, 2/. ; cleaning church, 71. 108. ; washing sur plice, 5/, ; cleaning church plate, 30s. ; repairing church, 40/. ; coals, 41.—in all 2031. To meet this expense he asked for a rate of id. in the pound, which, having been moved and seconded, Mr. Barton said, he wished to make a few observations upon the motion before it was put. He commenced by observing, that, as he had been four years a suitor in the Ecclesiastical Courts, the meeting would attach some authority to his opi nion of what was a legal, and what was an illegal item of a Church-rate. He had been dragged from Chester to York, and from York to Chester, for, as he supposed, the benefit of his soul ; and, if persecuti on f or con science sake could purge him from the errors of schism, he stood before them as immaculate that day. The first item, 201. for the rent o f t h e new burial ground, was bad in point of law, as th e Vi car was well aware ; and ringers', singers', organ player and blower's salary was equally ob j e ctionable. All these items, together with many more of a Lik e nature, had been struck out by their own partial Ecclesiastical Courts as untenable in the late law -suits in which he had been involved. The forty pounds for the repairs of the Church was the only legal item in the whole two hundred and three pounds. The Vicar said he cared very little about the twenty pounds for the rent of the new burial ground ; but as Mr. .Barton acknowl e d ge d that the forty pounds for the re pairs of the church was a legal item, he (Mr. Barton) was in d u t y b oun d to move for a smaller sum, in orde r t o cover such expense. In answer to this, Mr. Barton said he ob. jetted upon principle to any rate, however sma ll, whether one shilling or one fa r thing in the pound. An amendment was moved, that the meeting adjourn to that day twelve months but the Chairman refused to put the amendmeut, saying, they must e ith er move f or a rate or no rate. In the midst of the tumult occa moved that a new appointed, wh en M r . B arton c si h o a n i e r d ma b n y refusal, s t h h o i u s labe some one stepped forward and succeeded in quelling the uproar, saying, that the Vicar was the legal chairman, and he knew that an Englishman wanted nothing but a clear stage and no favour A perso n in th e f ron t o f the Vicar bawled out—" Mr. Chair man, what is your salary a year ?" to which the Vicar mildly answered that "the meeting was not called for such an inquiry." At last another amendment was proposed, that there be no rate, which was carried by an overwhelming majority, when Mr. Abraham Brierley demanded a poll, which will commence on Monday next, and continue open for five days. The meeting then separated.-111anchester Paper. Monday the 24th alt., an entente broke out among the Crown prisoners in Lancaster Castle, which, but for the spirit and promptness with which it was met, might have been attended with very serious conse quences, if not with loss of life. We learn that one or two desperate characters, now in the Castle for long terms of imprisonment, having cast about for some method of escape, adopted, as the plan having the fairest prospect of success, that of inflaming the minds of their fellow-prisoners by representation of hard treatment, and of the ease with which the two or three turnkeys, having in charge three hundred men, could be overpowered. Although many of the pri soners fell in with the plan of opening their prison doors by this means, there is no reason to believe in the existence of any general organised plan. It ap pears that, on Monday morning last, when the men were rung out to wash, &c., in the yards, scme of the pri soners in the No. 3 (misdemeanant) ward followed as sistant task-master Clegg into the time yard, and were ordered by him to go back. A rush was made upon him, headed by two powerful men of desperate character ; C!cgg was seized, and his eyes were covered ; a hand kerchief was also held to his mouth, and he was seized by the throat, so as to prevent him making any noise. He succeeded, however, by his cries in alumina the other turnkeys, and one •of them promptly and fortu nately succeeded in slamming to the door of the barrier, and thus rendering it impossible for them to reach the keya which hung up within the barrier. At this junc ture the monitors of the wards—those prisoners who, from good behaviour are entrusted to keep good order among their fellows—came to the rescue of the task -master, and liberated him from the hands of his assailants. By this time many of the prisoners of the other wards, to the number of 150 or 200, had been drawn to the spot ; and the great excitement prevailing among those on the spot who witnessed the attack, quickly spread and became general. The prisoners were entreated to return. to their work by the principal turn key, but they refused. Captain Hansbrow, the gaoler, was quickl~v on the spot, and would havegone in the yard alone - among the excited crowd, but was earnestly dis suaded by the turnkeys, wbo feared, from the temper of some of the ringleaders, that the worst results might have occurred. Captain Hansbrow accordingly addressed the men from the terrace over the yard, and asked the cause of all this disturbance. One of the ringleaders stepped forward to explain ; but Cap tain Hansbrow refused to hear him, telling him he was a bad subject. Another man at last said that they wanted the new regulations repealed. The regulations referred to were adopted by the Visiting Justices last winter, and restricted the prisoners from the use of pen and paper, and from the privileges heretofore en joyed of exchanging presents received from their friends far some portions of the gaol allowance. Capt. Hans brow replied, that their request could not be complied with, and told them to return immediately to their work. The men refused, upon which the captain threatened to have out the ringleaders and punish them, and further said, that not au ounce of food sh , uld be brought to them until they returned to their work. At this some of them were staggered ; and the request then made was, that two men who had been put into solitary confinement a day or two before should be liberated. Captain Hansbrow told them that this also could not be complied with, hut promised them that their complaints should be exa mined by the Magistrates. Finding that they had taken nothing by their motion, the men returned to their work ; and so matters stood until twelve o'clock, when, the ringleaders being still among them, a sullen and mutinous spirit again displayed itse:f. About fifty or sixty men of the felons' ward refused to go to work until their grievances were redressed, when Captain Hansbrow went into the ward, and, seizing one man, pulled him on his legs, and told hi m if b e did not go to work, he should be flogged. The threat had the desired effect, and the man walked out, followed by the others. At night, precautions were taken to pre vent the men of the different wards from being let out at the same time, and all was quiet. Three or four of the ringleaders were then apprehended, who con fessed their desire was to escape from the castle. On the following day and on Wednesday, the Visiting Jus tices sat at the Castle, and sentenced Thomas Barlow, alias James Brierley, James Dickenson, and Thomas Scanlon, the first of whom was the origin of the disturb ance, and the two others having seized Clegg, to one month's close solitary confinement each, on the second class diet, from which animal food is excluded. Had the rioters succeeded in obtaining possession of the keys, they could only have forced their way to the debtors' yard, where, instead of receiving assistance, they would have encountered a determined opposition. There would still have been the inner iron gate to force ; and had they attempted this, the officers of the gaol would have been compelled to use their fire-arms, and much loss of life must have been the result. It is on many accounts a subject of congratulation, that, by the vigour aed firmness of Captain Hansbrow, this has been pre vented.—Lancaster Guardian. AGBICULTURAL REPORT FOR JUNE. Previously to about the 10L11 of this month, the crops of wheat, in all parts of England, did not ex hibit that promising appearance, either as relates to their colour or growth, as has been generally noticed in most favourable corresponding periods of the year —the former being, 'particularly on poor soils, of a sickly hue : the latter unusually stunted. However, the roots of the wheat plants, on examination, were found to be well grown, wide -spreading, and to have thrown out a greater number of strong shoots than often before witnessed. In these respects the accounts which reached us from the whole of our corn growing counties, were not at variance in scarcely a single in stance. But we do not mean to assert that failures have not occurred ; still they have, doubtless, been fewer than scarcely ever before remembered. Since the abovementioned period, the weather has been all that the most industrious farmer could possibly have desired or anticipated —we having been favoured with some fine refreshing rains which, aided by warm intervening sunshine, have worked wonders in the vegetable crea tion ; indeed the impetus given to the growing corn las been almost without parallel in any former sea. Although the harvest will, possibly, be what is ,ermed a late one, still it is not considered, from pre sent appearances, that it will be so backward as that of last year. Nothing can be more promising than the barley, oats, beans, and peas, now rapidly ap proaching maturity, yet the oats appear to have suffered somewhat from the grub : but these are casualties ex perienced, invariably, in a greater or less degree, in the months of May and June. In some parts of Essex, Kent, and Lincolnshire, the wireworm has been com mitting extensive ravages upon the young wheat : but the rapidity of the growth has formed a strong barrier 'o any general devastation. Haymaking was partially commenced on the 20th, since which time numerous stacks of well made hay have sprung up throughout the kingdom. The crop will, it is supposed, prove a heavy one, especially in those parts situated in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis. Depastured fattening stock have fared extremely well, whilst the supply of green fodder has been very plentiful and good. Turnips and potatoes have come up well, and pro mise abundantly ; yet the former have suffered con siderably from the fly, but we arc happy to say not to that extent as to endanger the crop. From Scotland, we have intimation of the crops looking very promising. It is admitted on all hands, that the stocks of wheat, in the granaries and on arms, are fast diminishing, and that the dealers are short of stock ; nevertheless, it is considered that prices cannot rise much beyond those at present ob tained, at least whilst the present prospects continue. On the borders, wheat is rapidly coming into ear, and some portion of it will have fallen beneath the sickle, ere another fortnight has elapsed. All the principal grain markets have been scantily supplied with every description of grain, yet the trade has been in a sluggish state, at drooping currencies. In Ireland, the early sown barley does not appear so favourable as could be desired, the pl ants having become somewhat spindly • ; but the cr o p s o f wheat, oats, (poenas,aoacroeugnotitoii the av a il a bl e supply,sgve i on favou ra bl y. I n since the exports have been v ery exten to Eng land, from the commencement o f t h e year not being so some beans,parts,oats and extensive as in some former seasons) are commanding high prices, and the shipments are on the decrease. Very hale has been Passing in wheat and barley. The growth of potatoes is fully anticipated to he great.— Farmer's 1 r bu,_•inc ss d o i ng yesterday STATE OP T RADE.—There wa rather m ore than on the pr ece di ng T uesday, s bath in yarn and goods; but the prices of both were some what lower —yarn about a farthing per pound, and power. loom printing cloth from lid. to 3d. Fer piece. Good 7-Bth printing cloth, which s o ld a t B s . 6d. i n t h e month of April, could be bought at 7s. yesterday, a fact quite sufficient to account for the extension of short time amongst the manu facturers by power, which is going on to a considerable extent, as well as amongst the spinners of yarn for ex. port. We understand that, at a meeting of spinners in Bolton and the neighbourhood, held on Monday last, it was unanimously resolved that their mills should not, for the pre work more than four 'days a week. At Wigan, we understand, there are now ten, or, as some parties state, eleven factories, some of them of considerable size, entirely standing; and all the rest, with the exception of one, are working short time. Indeed with the exception of som e large isolated establishments, it is now all but universal.--, Manchester Guardian.
