The fires were as low as possible, scarcely any at all, in fact the bars were quite bare. I let the fire out, because I was afraid something would happen. I should think that there were better than 60 lbs. of pressure on the square inch on Wednesday. I think there was sufficient water in the boiler. I was Under Mr. Lowe's orders the whole time. I was up about five minutes before the explosion, putting down sacks on the gunge glass to keep the weather off. That would have no effect on the safety-valve. Grimes was on the top placing felt on the steam pipes. The sacks on the gauge glass were placed around it, leaving such an opening that the water in the boiler might be seen. Grimes could net interfere with the safety-valve. I cannot form any conjecture as to the cause of the accident. I am of opinion that it was an over•pressure of steam that caused the explosion. I did not say anything to Mr. 1.43 WC about there being too high a pressure on the boiler.

TEA.—There has been less activity in the market this week, and little business has been transacted by private treaty in black or green Tea ; a larger quantity hay ing been brought forward, a decline in the value of some kinds has occurred. At the public sales held on Tuesday and Wedaesday the trade evinced little inclination to operate, and the biddings were very languid : Hyson went at a decline on the rates of the last public sales of lid to 2d, Young Hyson lid to 2d Imperial, and Gunpowder Id to 2d, Pouchong id tc id, but Congou and Twankay generally sustained the former currency. Souchong kept up its previous worth, and Flowery Pekoe fetched full prices, but Hyson Skin and Caper went a little cheaper: of the 16 784 pks offered, only 3,000 were disposed of, including 700 pkgs Pou chon. Congou, fresh and new kinds fetched 10d, ra coa to raw str is to is 2d, blkh leaf Pekoe kind 2s, superior 2s 4d to 2s 8d; Souchong, fine 2s 8d to 3s 2d, but mid Is to is 21d; Pouchong, low to good 4d to 93; Caper, in 10 catty bxs is to is 6d; Orange Pekoe, fair to fine Is 5d to is 7d, Scented good to fine 3s 3d to 3s 4d; Twan kay, good is 4d; Hyson Skin, coin 9d to 1Id; Hyson, corn 2s 6d, fa r to good 2s 64d to 2s I Id, fine to superfine 3s 8d to 3s 10d.

Gunpowder, Canton and Twankay kind is 8d to 2s Id. Hyson kind 3i 3d to 3s 10d, and superior 4s to 4s 6d per lb. The deliveries, however, have been again large, and the trade are not over-stocked. MoLAssEs.—Although there are sellers of West India upon further reduced terms, still buyers have operated with caution, and very little business has been transacted by private treaty : at public sale 550 puns of old im portation were all taken in—Demerara mid quality at 18s to 18s 6d, Antigua 19s 6d, Trinidad 17s, and Ber b'ee 18s. Of Mauritius 57 tierces were bought in at 15s per cwt. East India is off, red upon low terms by private treaty. SPICES.—To day there was little demand for black Pepper, 300 bags at public sale sold at barely the former value ; good earthy bro‘Nn but dusty Penang, went at nd to and at 20 to 2-ad for sea damaged, Ist, 2d, and 3d class. _ _ . FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. 11 and 3. From Terrace Pier, Gravesend, at 91, 1, and 5 ; on Sundays at GLOBE.—Mr. Joseph Somes was yesterday declared duly elected M.P. for Dartmouth. If there were any who anticipated a different decision, we were not of the number. From the announcement of the constitution of the Committee, through the whole course of the inves tigation, and down to the publication of the final resolu tion of the Committee yesterday, which declared the sit ting Member duly elected, the result was as much a matter of certainty as it was when, 'with the usual forms, the Chairman of the Committee last evening presented the report at the table of the House. Those—if, indeed, such persons can be met with—who attended to the evidence, as adduced by the petitioners, and regarded the Committee as a Court accessible to the force of verified awl, to a great extent, admitted facts, may be astounded at the decision. All others regard the result as having occurred in the ordinary course of events. The majority of the Committee were of the sitting Member's political party. The Chairman having, for tunately for Mr. Joseph Souies, been selected in the order of rotation from the Tory benches, the question in issue was as good as settled before the inquiry commenced. The question to be decided was whether at the time of the election Mr. Joseph Somes was, or had then ceased to be. the holder of, or was in anywise in terested in, any contract with Government ? To show that Mr. Joseph Somes was a contractor with the Go. sernmsnt for the supply of upwards of twenty thousand tons of shpping, and held that contract up to the very verge of the election, the following facts were established in evidence before the Committee. The Speaker's notice ,f the late Member for Dartmouth's death appeared in the Lnndon Gazele on the 3d of December. Mr. Somes' address to the electors of Dartmouth, announcing him self a candidate for the vacant seat, was circulated in the borough on the same day. In that ad cress Mr. Somes' pretensions were enforced on the grounds of his being " a great ship-owner"—the " owner of upwards of 22,000 tons of shipping, end largely connected with trade, commerce, and the colonies." The electors were, therefore, urged, on the plea of advancing their " own interests," to give Mr. Somes " such a reception and support as would secure so useful a Member - for their seaport town." Mr. Somes therefore went down to Dartmouth as a great ship-owner—" the owner of 22,000 tons of shipping," &c., when, if the case set up by him -in answer to that of the petitioners against his return is to be credited, he had retired from business, parted with his ships, and transferred his contracts with Government to other hands. In short, Mr. Somes no longer possessed any, the least, interest in the property. his possession of which was to confer such vast advantages on the seaport town of Dart mouth ! We must request attention to the dates we have already given. On the 17th of December Mr. Somes appears to have been made aware that the quali• fications which were to be his recommendations to the Dartmouth voters, were, in the eye of the law, destruce tive of his hopes. His slips were in the pay of Govern ment. His contracts with the Admiralty operated as a positive barrier to his entering Parliament. What was to be done ? Mr. Somes would have the public to be lieve—and did, through his counsel, induce the Tory majority of the Election Committee to believe, at least, to decide—that he, on the 17th of December, sponta neously, and as a free gift—not covertly, and for the purpose of evad:ng the prohibition of the law—made over by a deed, which is attested by two Lords of the Admiralty (Sir W. Hall Gage and the Right Hon. H. L. Corry), a debt of rather more than 51,000/. due to him from the Admiralty, to his two nephews, Joseph Somes the younger, and Frederick Somes. On the same day this most generous neck made over to these doubt less highly-meritorious, and therefore munificently endowed youths, ships of about 22,000 tons and 120,0001. value. Having thus cast overboard the impediments to his safe passage into the House of Commons, or. the 27th .of December Mr. Somes was elected Member for Dart mouth. What adds to the eccentric generosity of Mr. Somes is the admitted fact that his nephews, a hom he freely and absolutely invested with this large quantity of shipping, were innocent of all previous knowledge of the business in which they were now to embark. They had no previous knowledge essential to the acquirement of the experience and tact to which commercial men are usually indebted for success. They had no place of business. The name of one of them, it is true, appears, for the first time, in the " Commercial Directory" for the present year ; but his place of business is the same as that of his uncle, who has supplied him with " a local habitation and a name." Inexperience is wont to produce blunders. And the haite with which hastily. con coct( (1 transfers, made for collusive and corrupt puposes, are got up, are also frequently productive of blunders which exhibit their true character, and thus betray and defeat the intentions of the parties. T which ef these causes a ludicrous blunder of Mr. Fr, derick Senses is to be referred, we leave to others. The circumstance is worthy of record. This young gentleman joined wit h his brother in a joint tender to the Admiralty of a ship, which a reference to the registry-hook at. the Cus tom-house shows to have been transferred by Mr. Somes to Mr. Joseph Somes, jun., and not to the brothers jointly. Whether the transfer of Mr. Joseph Somes' property was bohd fide, or collusive—whether it was by deed of gift, or by bargain and sale—whether for the purpose of ridding himself of a legal disqualification for a seat in the House of Commons, or fur any other object— was not, however, the question with which the Com miitee had to deal, and were called upon to decide. The question placed in issue was, whether the terms of the statute which regulates the transfer and registration of ships had been complied with in Mr. Some? case? The Act (3 and 4 Wm. IV. c. 55), the object of which, according to its preamble, is to consolidate the laws relating to the registration of ships, expressly enacts (sec. 34) that no bill of sale shall be valid to pass property in a ship, until such bill of sale shall have been registers d in the re gistry-book of some port. The bills of sale of Mr. Somes' ships to kis nephews are all dated on the 17th of Dec. But there is no registry of a date previous to the elec tion; the earliest date of any such registration 'tteing December 28—the day after the election. Mr. Somes had not, therefore, when ho was elected to serve in Parlia went, complied with the terms of the statute. He still had an interest in ships serving the Government under contracts not voided before the day of election. A clearer case of disqualification was never established. A more palpable proof that a House of Commons' elec tion Committee is incapable of divesting itself of party irfluences, when rt quired to pronounce a just decision which involves the .eating or unseating of a political partisan, aas never supplied. Whether the Committee consist of 13, 7, 5. or 3, is a matter of trifling moment. The majority will, in nine cases out of ten, decide in fa vour of the party which favours the political views of that majority. This has grown into a proverb by the long experience of its truth. Hence no confidence in their in tegrity is placed in the legal or moral decisions of such a tribunal. 9; and 5. Fares to or from London. Fore Cabin and Second Class Carriage, Ninepence.

He begged of them to dismiss altogether from their minds All• judices which might be present to their minds.-on this occasion, and he wculd request their undivided atten tion while he laid the facts of the case before them. These facts were contained in a very narrow compass. Mr. Samuda, they were aware, was engaged in some very extensive works, and the boiler to which their inquiries had been directed was required in the process of his wcrks. The boiler itself was, with a solitary exception, stated to be in good working order, of good workman ship, and altogether, if kept within its own proper compass, as unexceptionable as it was required to be. He (the Coroner) could not help thinking that in this ease there had been an undue pressure upon that boiler. On the last occasion of this kind on which Le had met them, they might perhaps remember that he had in stanced the case of a cannon which had been sent to the maker in order to be repaired, which on its being tested burst ; and a verdict of man slaughter was brought in. The Learned Coroner then exp!a;ned to the jury the limit at which man slaughter stopped and murder began. But he did not think that' Mr. Lowe could have had any personal motive as required in the ease of murder, for it w ould be clearly his interest to carry on the work without acci dent.

TO be SOLD by P1:1VAXE441 , 7,43:.Y, by. order of the Assignees, the whole of the PLANT In and about the above Brewery, consisting of steam-engine, copper, machinery, mash tun, malt mill, refrigerator, fermenting squares, fermenting tuns, vats, piping, casks, tubs, drays, horses, &c. Also, the STOCK of Hops, Beer, and Porter, now on the premises. Any person desirous of entering Into the business of an Ale and Porter Brewer will find the present a most advantageous opportunity. The Plant is in excellent order, and constructed on the most approved modern principles. The connexion and business attached to the Brewery are considerable. The purchaser ;trill have no difficulty in arranging terms of tenancy of the Brewery with the owner. For orders to view the premises, and for further particulars, apply to Mr. George Morgan, official assignee, No. 12, Cook-street, Liver pool ; or to Mr. W. W. Simpson, Bucklersbury, London ; or to Mr. Bees, at the Brewery; or to Messrs. Harvey and Falcon, Solicitors, 9, Lower Castle-street, Liverpool. that alLhough there was no intent to kill, vet if the act were manifestly improper, and resulted in death, then the person so acting was guilty of man slaughter. (Several cases in point were cited) It would be for the jury to say whether Mr. Loa e had used ordinary caution on this occasion, or whether he had• exercised a recklessness that brought him within the operation of this law. Ile (the Coroner) entreated them to look to the trying and embarrassing situation of Mr. George Lowo in reference to this ermine. It would appc-ar, from the evidence, that the engine would not go freely, and he was, in common par lance, " trying it on," as far as he could, to overcome the difficulty. They were not to condemn the man because, in one particular instance, he had been unfortunate, if it was shown that, generally, he had acted with a proper degree of skill and of cau tion. They must consider that in this case Mr. Lowe himself had been a sufferer; and if a man were present and using a reasonable degree of skill and caution, it would remove from him a criminal responsibility arising from a _ loss of life. (The Learned Coroner then read over the evidence in detail.) He was sure that they would give their fullest attention to this subject, and that while they gave every protection required for the preservation of her Majesty's subjects, they would not, at the same time, crush, by an ill considered verdict, the prospects of any individual, and perhaps by so doing be in some measure retarding the progress of the arts in this country. The jury retired to consider their verdict at a quarter to four, and again returned into Court at six o'clock. The Foreman then annouced that the jury had unani mously found a verdict of " Manslaughter against . George Lowe," and they added their opinion that the machinery generally on Mr. Samuda's establishment Was of a most defective character. r.

Definitive arrangements having been made for the construction of a Railway by the Great Western Railway Company from Corsham to Yeovil, and of another important line under the direction of the London and South-Western Railway Company from Southampton to Dorchester; the object of the Exeter, Yeovil and Dorchester Railway Company is, a Line of Railway from Yeovil, with a Branch from Dorchester, to direct these two large streams of traffic by one main channel, through a populous and thriving district to Exeter. This Railway will effect a more direct communication between the West of England and the Metropolis, and supply Railway communi cation to a country hitherto unoccupied, and form an uninterrupted chain of Railway by the Coast, from Dover to the Land's End. In addition to these immediate advantages, application is in tended to be made in the ensuing Session, for a Line front Basing stoke to Salisbury and Yeovil, which will still further very consider ably diminish the distance between Exeter and London. It will connect Yeovil and Dorchester with Exeter, and pass through, or near to, the Towns of Ilminster, Crewkerne, Chard, Beamiuster, Bridport, Axminster, Honiton, and Ottery St. Mary, and will afford a Railway accommodation to the watering-places of Lyme Regis, Seaton, Beer, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, and the adjoining districts. The Committee, confident that this important undertaking will hear strict investigation, issue their Prospectus thus early ; a nd will at once proceed to complete the Surveys, enter into such arrange ments as they may think expedient, and take all the necessary steps for obtaining an Act in the ensuing Session. Power will be taken in the Bill to allow Interest at Four per Cent. per annum on all Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the Line ; and no liability will be incurred by any Subscriber beyond the amount of his subscription. It is intended to proceed to an early allotment of Shares, giving pro ference to local applicants ; but the Committee think it unadvisable that the whole of the deposit should be now called for. An instal ment, therefore, of ss. per Share only will be required on allotment, according to the provisions of 7 and 8 Vict. , c. 110, applicable by„ the Committee towards the expenses cf the proposed undertaking. The residue of the deposit will be payable in November next (un less any future order of Parliament should render it otherwise neces sary), and the Shareholders will be required to execute a Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, the lime and place of exe cuting which, and also for the payment of the residue of the deposit,' will be notified in the " Times," the " Herald," the " Exeter and Plymouth Gazette," the " Western Times," the " Taunton Courier," the " West Briton," and the " Railway Times," newspapers ; and in case either of non-payment of the residue of such deposit as afore said, or the non-execution of the Subscribers' Agreement and Parlia mentary Contract when required as aforesaid, the said instahnent of ss. will be absolutely forfeited, and the Shares appropriated to other parties without further notice. Further particulars may be obtained from, and Application for Shares made to, the Solicitors, the Secretary, or Messrs. F. and W. Atkinson, 61i, Threadneedle-street ; Messrs. Charles and Henry Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street; Messrs. Field, Son, and Co., 9, Warnford court, London; Mr. Thomas Sanford, Messrs. Beaumont and Lang worthy, Mr. G. It. Glidden, Exeter; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bristol ; John Hall, Esq., Liverpool ; Messrs. John Raliton and Son, Manchester; Wade, Esq., Temple-street, Birmingham; or to Messrs. J. H. and G. Ridsdale, Leeds. The Committee will be desirous to allot the Shares to unexception able parties in the order in which the applications are received ; in all cases where the parties are unknown, references will be required.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSIOIV-HOVSE. Day and Johnson, who have undergone several ex aminations upon suspicion of having robbed a lady of the name of Logan, who resides in Hanover- street, Hanover-square, of a purse containing bank-notes and other property, were again brought up. Mr. Robinson, who appeared as solicitor for-the pri soners' and contended all through the investigation that they had nothing to do with the robbery, produced two witnesses of good character who deposed that they were present in a house in ttmithfield when Day received two 5/. Bank of England notes and four sovereigns, in pay ment for a chesnut horse, en the morning of the day on which he passed the two notes which he was. charged with having stolen. The Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie very closely sift( d the case, w hich was ingeniously defended by the solicitor for the prisoners, and decided, evidently with reluctance, upon discharging them. The LORD 'MAYOR observed that the case was one of a very suspicious character indeed—that due diligence did not appear to have been exercised in eliciting facts, and that in all probability the list of the property which the lady had either merely lost, or been robbed of, would be heard of, and might lead to future proceedings. It was directed that the bank Rote which had been taken by Mr. Morrison,- of Cheapside. from Day, for clothes purchased by that prisoner, should be returned to Mr. Morrison. The Lord Mayor gave no direction with respect to the second 5/. which Day had requested Mr. Morrison to get changed for him. The prisoners appeared to be rejoiced at being dis charged, and hurried i.svay without saving a word. - GLERK.EIV WELL. SPA-FIELDS' BURIAL GROUND.—Tv:elve o'clock yes terday was fixed upon as the time at which the inquiry into the practices carried on in Spa-fields Burial-ground was to be rezaimed. At that time the poor widow Nelson, whose melancholy statement was published in this paper of yesterday, was in attendance. Mr. Wake ling, the vestry-clerk, the police inspectors, and several of the most respectable tradesmen in Clerkenwell were also present. Much to the disappointment of those present, it was understood that the magistrate (Mr. Greenwood) who presided refused to entertain the matter, having no jurisdiction whatever in the shape in ehieh -it was brought before him. The poor woman, with tears in her eyes, informed the repsrter that she had been to the burial-ground again on that (Thursday) morning, and in the meet earnest manner besought of the manager to open the grave that she might behold her husband's remains, but he declined to do so, and with a sorrowing heart she was obliged to leave without any hope of having her wish gratified. The reporter visited the grave yard yesterday, and thinks it right to state that he was treated with civility by Mr. Bird, the manager, and that several men were emplos ed in filling up those graves which had been opened, and in opening others to satisfy the relatives of persons interred there. Mr. Bird said, the reason he could not open Nelson's grave was because she could not point cart the exact spot; but a gentleman who was then present, and who was al:o present at the interview between the woman and Bird, said the woman had pointed out the place. The ground seems quite full, and. the smell proceeding from such graves as ivere still open was most unpleasant. P, 9 ° ' ~.,, 4 1 Bonus Banns in P2 .. i NI ,0 , - ~7 , ?' g Prem i um. 4 added. Cash.

Mr. Baker, the Coroner for East Middlesex, and the jurymen appointed to conduct the inquiry into the deaths of the men Chapman, Grimes, Smith, and Wright, who were killed by an explosion at the works of Mr. Samuda, at Bow , creek, Blackwell, re-assembled yesterday at the Town-hall, Poplar. Mr. Ballantine, as usual, attended for Mr. Samuda, and Mr. Floe er fur Mr. Lowe, the engineer. The CORONER informed the jury that another unfor tunate man, named Neale, had died on board the Dread nought hospital ship, and the jury having viewed the body, Mr. BAKER informed them that he had received a me dical certificate, stating that the important witness, Whitcombe, was in too dangerous a state to be removed, and it would be necessary, therefore, that his evidence should be taken at the London hospital. Conveyances were ordered to be in readin:ss to carsey the jurymen there. The evidence of Joseph Chalk, engineer, was read over, at the request of Mr. Flower. The witness was then examined by Mr. Flower—l am an engineer, and have been at the trade for about eight years. During that time I was in the employ of Mr. Samuda. I recollect that on the day of the accident Grimes, a labourer, was engaged on the top of the boiler. It was necessary that he should use a ladder to get to the top. Supposing that the ladder had slipped, the effort he would make to save himself would be to catch the lever. The effect of that would be, in the one case, sup posing the lever to break, to cause the steam to iseape, or if it did not break, it•would.keep the valve shut, and so cause an explosion. By the Foreman—The only part he could possibly lay hold of would be the main lever, which would compress the steam by shutting the safety-valve. Thomas Meriton, 4, Hall-street, Poplar—l am an en gineer, and have been so for 15 or 1G years. The boiler in question was sold to a gentleman in Greenwich for 30 guineas, and afterwards purchased by . Mr. Samuda, but for what sum I know not. Thirty guineas is not a third of its real value. It was a very good boiler. It was made for a low pressure. There was a steam chest in it, and that must necessarily cause part of the original boiler to be cut away. That would render the iler weaker in that part. By Mr. Flower—l am aware that the boiler had been proved. It was tested by myself at not less than 501bs. to the square inch. By the CORONER—It was proved by the hydraulic pressure. It would be a mistaken notion to say that a pressure of 181. was all it could bear. It was only in tended, I believe, for a pressure of 12 or 151bs. I have no doubt it is the same boiler. By the Foreman—l tried it at 501bs. with cold water, but should not like to try above %Abs. with steam. By the CORONER-1 think that it would be possible to prove boilers without endangering the lives of persons. By Mr. Flower—The boiler was town made, and of the first-rate construction.

(From the London New Price Current of March 20.) SUGAR.—To-day there was a good demand for every description of West India Sugar, and the quantity dis posed of amounted to 400 hhds and tierces, rather higher rates were paid, malting the advance for the week 6d on brown, grey and common yellow, and I s per cwt on good and fine ness transacted had the market been better supplied with bright Grocery sorts. The total purchases for the week amounted to 1580 hhds and tierces. The market closes with a healthy appearance for all sorts of Sugar sulject to 14s per cwt duty. Business will be suspended in the Sugar market until Wednesday, on account of the Easter holidays. At the Custom House, to-day, some parcels of Dobah, No. 1, and Kobah, were stopped by the Custom house officers, who insisted upon a duty of 16s 4d per owl, in consequence of their being Claycd, or equal to White Claycd, and not Refined. REFINED.—TO-day several parcels of Refined Sugar were taken by the home trade at 65s for brown, and at 66s 6d to 67s per cwt for standard lumps. In Bastards there was more business done at the rates quoted above. Bonded Crushed Sugar selling more freely at 31s for best sort. MAURITIUS—This afternoon there was no public sale, but privately some parcels were sold, and the rates paid were generally rather above previously quoted. EAST INDIA This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with attention, 2,266 bags, duty paid, were of fered- at public sale and sold at firm rates, viz. good white at 525, middling 50s 6d, low 498 6d, damp 413 to 54, ma-shed 46s 6d to 51s, yellow damp and washed 35s to 38s 6d, better quality 42s to 455, damp brown 345, very low 275. 637 bags in bond were with drawn, the trade re fusinc , to encourage the system of selling at aloft price. Of Mulras 2,870 bags in bond were offered at auction, but withdrawn from the same FREE-TRADE BAZAAR. MEETING OF LADIES. A morning meeting of ladies resident in Camberwell and Peckham, was held yesterday in the Lecture Room, Hill-street, Peckham, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. George Thompson, in explanation of the objects of the Free-trade Bazaar, to be held in Covent garden Theatre in May next. The meeting was, most respectably composed. On the motion of Mr. FARRIND, a member of the Society of Friends, Mr. J. A. Lyon, of Camberwell, . took the chair. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then presented himself, and delivered an eloquent and impressive address on the great national objects which the League have in view, in promulgating the principles of free-trade with the nations of the world. He dwelt forcibly on the skill and industry of the productive classes of this country, and on the itopolicy and injustice of those legishnive enactments which prevent them from ex changing the preducts of their labour for those of other countries. He congratulated the country that the ques tion' which he was ten adv-Ocating—the abolition Of all monopolies—was not a question o f sect., party, or politics, but one of pure humanity and justice, in the advance meut of which persons of the most opposite polities, an d of all sects of religion, were uniting. He showed that the opponents of free trade were every day lessening, and that vast numbers of its hitherto greatest an tagonists arc now to be found in the ranks of its warmest supporters. Ile expressed his gratification at seeing so many ladies present, and his belief, that the ladies of Camberwell and Peckham would, in unison. with the ladies resident in the..various other parts of the metro polis, do all in their power to contribute, by the works of their own hands, their influence, and exer flow, towards the success of the Great Leagunßazaar. He impressed upon Ids fair auditory, that es . the time for holding the Bazaar was fast approaching, and that as the intervening space was short, the necessity for active co operation on their part was, in proportion, great. He urged them to importune their friends , by the exercise of their pens, Seca for money contribu tions; and predicted that the Bazaar, according to the indications from all parts of the et,untry, would be one of the grandest spectacles of' the kind ever wit nessed in any country. The Learned Gentleman, whose address was listened to with the profoundest attention, was followed by Mr. A. L. Saul, of 'the League, who further elucidated the advantages which would arise to , the country from the adoption of free trade, whose prin ciples he explained. A Ladies' Committee for the districts of Camberwell and Peckham was then formed, with power to add to their number; after which the meeting separated, the ladies expressing much conver sational sataaetien with the proceer:lrgs. _ _L__ ICHWEPPE and Co., Wine-merchant s, respect _ fldly invite attention to their fine STOCK of FOREIGN WINES ; comprising the whole range of those usually In demand, but particularly refer to their Ports and Sherries.

LINES to the " CLERK of the WEATHER." Mr. " Clerk of the Weather," don't take it amiss, That we trouble your honour with rhyme such as this, We were tempted to string a few verses together, On account of the singular state of the weather. Father Winter, for such a long time has been King, That we almost begin to despair of the Spring. Don't you think, " Mr. Clerk," if you tried the right strain, You could cause Father Winter to give up Ills reign ? If this were effected, much good would be done, And you'd greatly oblige Messrs. MOSES and SON. Then let us persuade you to make the endeavour, You know, Mr." Clerk," you're remarkably clever. Tell Winter, the next time you meet In the sky, That thousands are longing to bid him " good bye." And pray don't forget, Sir, to lay a great stress On MOSES and SON, and their present Spring dress. Explain, while the various facts you are stating, That the dresses for Spring are In readiness waiting. And while you descant on the dresses of MOSES, Tell Whiter we all shall be glad when he closes. Of course, Mr. " Clerk," you are fully aware,. That MOSES' Spring suits arc remarkably rare, Yet none can assume, till the Winter is done, The charming Spring Garments of MOSES and SON.
