The Carfare, cid accounts from the United Stites are of a thvaurable eliaaacter as respeets the demand for British nolaufaatures. As to the State debts owing to foreign , r a we fear there is very little chance of a pay m-!.t interest or of principal. Upon this point the Goveraar el the State of Illinois thus comments : As to tha extraordinary debt of the State, contracted for the canal and other internal improvements, no interest has been raid cn it, which has accrued since the Ist of July, 1841; and 00 proSision of law has been made for such p , 3ytnent. The magnitude of this debt, compared with the resources of the state, has been a continual terror to the people. They have lived in expectation of oppressive taxes. The same has been anticipated by all who would etheraiso emigra•e to the State. The popular vote at the la,t election shows that our population has been in creased bat lit!l,, since 1840; and it is a fact, too notorious to be cancealed, that nothing but the utter im possibility of selling real estate, prevents the rapid de (Tease of our ntrebers. The adjacent territories are filling no with khal.itants at our expense. The high and pelmy days have departed, when we doubled our population in a few years ; when, if a eitiaen owned more land than he wanted to cultivate, or if ho wanted !o lease rue country, or remove from one part of the State to another, he could sell his land for cash. What has produced this state of things ? Has it been high taxes? No. It has been the fear of them only. Is it because money has been drawn from our pockets, as a tax upon our industry? No. Not one cent has yet been paid by taxation. On the contrary, our taxes, fot State purposes, are three times less than they are in the great and flourishing State of Ohio. Neverthe !e.-s, Ohio is advancing to greatness with unparalleled rapidity; whilst we are paralyzed with the torpid fear of evil only, when no such evil really exists." What is the rala-f from this state of things? The people of Illinois cannot, nay will not submit to further taxation. The Governor says he would not propose a high or an op pressive taxation. The misfortunes and calamities of t e people have been such as almost to prevent the col lection of the tax already levied. At the last session an increased taxation was impracticable, on account of a total want of money in the country. This is is indeed a bad feature, as respects the claims of British as well as other foreign claimants upon the Stan sof America, for cash absolutely :advanced to en courage public w. airs and give employment to the peop!a of the Union. It is with regret we must mention that the other repudiating Slates are equally disposed to la} . by, and that too most dishonestly. We have before us a letter, dated Rio Janeiro, the 14th Ifeveinber. At that date favourable news had been crived from Rio Grande. The rebels bad been de feated in three or four actions. There is little news of iaterest on commereial matters. 'lle, settlement cf the Otaheitean question, and the grant voted by the Chamber of Deputies of 1,0001. to Mr. Pritchard, our Consul there, has relieved the Bear party of a portion of doubt as to the success of their operations, and Consols for the Account have been done this morning at 100* and 100+.

On Thursday evening the King of the French re ceived Duke Pasquier, Generals Jacqueminot and Cubieres, Baron de Langlade, and the Prefect of the Deputment du Nord. M. Hebert was unable to attend the Chamber on Friday, in consequence of a domestic calamity. His daughter, aged thirteen, died on Thursday. On Thursday reports from several Committees, charged with the examination of various Bills ordered by the Chamber to be resumed, were distributed to the Deputies. One of the most important is M. Thiers's report on Public Instruction. Count de Jarnac, the Secretary of Embassy, has arrived in Paris from London. The Berlin Gazette states that a letter of the 14th inst., from St. Petersburgh, represents the Emperor Nicholas as being indisposed, but so slightly as not to prevent his going out daily in a sledge. A Vienna letter of the 18th, quoted by the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, father of the King of Portugal, is so seriously ill that fears are entertained for his life. Couriers have been dispatched with thfs intelligence to Paris and Lisbon for his sons. His youngest son, Prince Leopold, is the only member of the Duke's family left to watch over his sick bed." The Phare of Bayonne states, on the authority of a letter from Madrid, of the 17th, that the Queen, at the solicitation of the mother of General Prim, and at the re commendation of General Narvaez, has signed letters of pardon for the banished General, and sent off an extra ordinary courier to Cadiz to communicate the pardon, and prevent his departure for the Philippine Islands. We learn by a letter from St. Petersburgh of the 12th, that the Kings of Sweden and Denmark, and the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, had just been elected honorary members of the Academy of Sciences of that city. According to a letter from Locarno, in Tessin°, pub lished by the New Zurich GazetVe, and dated the 16th, a deplorable disturbance has taken place at Mogadino on the Lago Maggiore, which compelled the authorities to have recourse to arms. Two persons were killed. Zurbano was captured at Logrono on the 19th inst., and shot on the 20th. The following account of the Prussian revenue, from the years 1835 to 1842, is given in a Berlin journal -- 1833, 54,740,000 thalers ; 1836, 51,957,000 ; 1837, 52,488,000 ; 1838, 52,681,000 ; 1839, 53,475,000 ; 1840, 54,855,000 ; 1841, 55,867,000 ; 1842, 57,402,000 ; show ing that in seven years the public revenue has increased 5,662,000 thalers.

Her Serene Higness the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden is expected to arrive in this country from Mann heim early in the ensuing month. The Countess Dowager of Limerick is expected in London in the course of the ensuing month. Viscount and Lady Marianne Alford arrived in Lowndes-street, Belgrave-square, on Saturday, from Earl Brownlow's, Belton House, which mansion is still full of company. The Noble Viscount and Viscountess will proceed in a few days on a visit to the Marquis of Northampton, at Torquay, Devon. His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire's next diplomatic banquet will take place at Manchester House on Saturday next. The Count and Countess D'Harcourt left the French Embassy on Friday last, on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Harcourt, at St. Leonard's, near Windsor. Lord and Lady Stanley entertained at dinner, on Fri day night, Lord and Lady Wharncliffe, Lord and Lady Haddington, Lord and Lady Mahon, Sir James and. Lady Graham, the Hon. Edward Stanley, the Hon. Co lonel Wilbraham, and Mr. James Stephens. Lord Brougham is expected to arrive at the Noble and Lea:riled Lord's residence in Grafton-street on Saturday next, from the Continent. Letters have been received by Lady Brougham from his Lordship, who had arrived at Paris from Cannes, and intended to stay about ,ten days in that capital previous to his departure direct for London. The Dowager Lady Massey, Lord Massey, Mr. Alex. ander Murray, M.P., and Lady Ann Murray are staying Hastings. Lord and Lady Francis Russell have arrived at the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn's, Barons:Court, county Tyrone, from visiting the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, at Woburn Abbey. Lord and Lady Parker, have returned to their seat Shirbourne Castle, near Watlington, from Eton Hall. The Right Hon. Thomas Grenville entertained a small party at dinner, on Saturday last, at his residence in Hamilton-place. NetitCB24.4l.l/110VIS. Sunday morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Brain, artist and engraver, in Al fred-square, Pentonville, which, besides consuming the premises, damaged those adjoining. A proclamation of reward was issued on Saturday last from the Government authorities, offering the sum of 1001. for the detection and conviction of the party or parties who, a few nights since, set fire to the barn and outbuildings of Mr. Thomas Proud, of Thornville, near Green Ilammerton, in the county of York, on which oc casion much valuable property belonging to that gentle man was destroyed. We regret to state that Mr. Benjamin Wood, M.P. for Southwark, still lies in a most precarious state. The Hon. Gentleman was attacked some time back by a severe stroke of paralysis, from the effects of which, however, he recovered ; but, unfortunately, the dis astrous complaint returned, and although Mr. Wood's friends anticipate that he may linger, there are not the slightest grounds for holding out any hopes of ultimate and complete recovery. The new steam schooner Senator, built of iron, and fitted with the Archimedean screw, which left London on Saturday, the 18th instant, with a full cargo, arrived in Dublin on Thursday morning, having performed the passage in five days, and encountered very severe wea • ther during Sunday and Monday. Another result of the operation of the new Tariff has been seen, the last few days, in the importation of hops from the United States. The samples have been pro nounced, by competent judges, as quite equal in flavour and quality to any produced in this country. The Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and Lord Chief Justice Tindal, sat again on Saturday morn ing in the Lord Chancellor's private-room, Westminster hall, to hear the further arguments of Counsel respect ing the claim of the King of Hanover to a portion of the Cr own jewels. Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, who appears on the same side with Sir Charles Wetherell, in support of tho claim of his Majesty, addressed the Commissioners at great length. The proceedings were, however, strictly private, conse quent ly no report o f t h e L earne d Counsel's argument can be given. We regret to state that a report prevails of the mur rain amongst cattle (which has been productive of such serious losses on the Continent) having reached this country. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this re port, and from the inquiry we have made, on the con trary, we are inclined to believe that the disease now so generally prevailing, particularly amongst horses ex posed to the recent cold and changeable weather, is a species of influenza, the symptoms of which are of a more serious description than ordinary. Many of the hackney proprietors have, we are informed, nearly one-half of their horses laid up, and the deaths during the last few weeks have averaged twenty-five per cent. On Saturday evening a man, named John Walker, 47 years of age, was at work on some new houses in Kennington-lane, near the Horns Tavern, when a por tion of the,scaffolding on which he was standing suddenly gave way, and he was precipitated to the ground from a height of nearly forty feet. He was taken up quite in sensible, and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where it was found that he had dislocated the vertebra) of the neck to such an extent that no assistance could possibly be ren dered, and he expired in a few hours after his admission. FATAL EFFECTS OF DRlNK.—Yesterday (Sunday) morning, at an early hour, an elderly female, named Diana Campbell, who resided at No. 1, Fore-street, Lambeth, was seen between one and two o'clock greatly intoxicated, and quarrelling with her son in the street. The latter was heard by some of the neighbours to tLreatan his parent with personal violence. After some time the female returned to her home, and it was sup posed that she had retired to bed ; however, between three and four o'clock, she was found lying in the pas sage of her house a corpse. Over the right eye there was a cut, and two bruises on her cheek, but whether caused by violent hands, or from falling down stairs, of course it is at present impossible to tell. The son was also found upon the stairs quite insensible from the effects of drink, and nearly suffocated from the position in which he had fallen. Mr. Joffice, surgeon, of Paradise -street, Lambeth, was immediately seat for, but the female was past all means of recovery. The son soon rallied ; but hearing the fate of his mother, he uttered the most pain ful lamentations, and having been left alone for a few minutes ho made the most desperate attempt to destroy his own life. He was, however, discovered by one of the police-officers, and was taken to the High-street station-house. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last, about seven o'clock, as a number of men labouring in the quarry were warming themselves at the lime-kilns on Kendal Fell, previous to commencing work, one of them, John Harrison, inadvertently stepped back, as is supposed, and fell to the bottom of one of the empty kilns. The consequences of the accident were dreadful. The unfortunate man's back was broken, and if he sur vive the injury, which is very doubtful, he will be bed ridden for the remainder of his life. The unfortunate vic tim is the same who about two years and a half ago was so severely injured while engaged in sinking a well at Burneside Hall that he was unable to work for six months afterwards. His companion on that occasion, who was also injured, but less seriously, Anthony Chambers was with the poor fellow on Tuesday morning when the more dreadful accident happened. We regret to say that Harrison's large lamily, consisting of a wife and six children, are in very destitute circumstances, and the aggravation of their distress by the late dreadful occurrence may be imagined.—Lancaster Guardian. AWFUL VISIT ATION. — Saturday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, a young man, a compositor, in the employ of Mr. Saville, the printer, of St. Mar tin's-lane, named John Woodberry, whilst working at his case and talking to a brother workman, suddenly fell down speechless. H e was removed with all speed to Charing-cross Hospital, where he shortly afterwards expired. The medical men attribute his death to apoplexy. ONDA Y EVENIN PROGRESS OF THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION. ON . E DAY LATER FROM AMERICA. The Columbus, Captain Cole, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday. She brings only one day's later news. The revolution in Mexico wa3 progressing. The New York Herald says : " The principal towns, and indeed all the country, have pronounced against Santa Anna, who, with a small force, has fled to Queretaro. The revolution passed off very quietly, no blood having been shed. The former revolutions being carried on by one party of military against another, resulted in much bloodshed—but this movement coming from the people, as well as from the soldiers, made it gene ral, and hence the little commotion of a disagreeable _nature. Santa Anna had but little chance of over coming this movement, and it was a matter of con jecture whether he would attempt to escape or deliver himself up—he very probably will endeavour to gain over the opposite General, by bribery or similar means, but in this it is thought he will not succeed. In case that he is taken prisoner, the people will pro bably demand his execution, as they seem to think his liberty will be dangerous to the Republic. " The markets were in a very bad state, with very little hope of improvement. " The departments of Sonora, Sinalva, Jalisco, Za catecas, and Aquescalientes were in a state of revolu tion, and in the military possession of Gen. Paredes. " General Santa Anna (with Cortszar), had mili tary possession of the departments of Queretaro and Guanajuato. " Canalizo, Santa Anna's President interim, and his ministers, were prisoners in Mexico. " There were at the Island of Sacrificio the British frigate Spartan, just arrived from New Orleans; British frigate Inconstant, and two French brigs of war, but no Americans." The following letter from Vera Cruz appears in the New York Herald:— " VERA Cauz, DEC. 9, 1844.—There is nothing talked of here but the revolution that is going for ward, and it seems to be the opinion of the best in formed persons that Santa Anna's time of destruction has arrived. At this moment he is, with his army of about six thousand men, at Queretaro, about sixty or eighty leagues from Mexico, where he went to meet the revolutionary general, Paredes, who, with a strong force, was watching Santa Anna's movements, and was ready at a momen t t o t a k e advantage of the President's mistakes. Puebla, the capital of the State of that name, and a place celebrated for its manufac tures, with a population of about 15,000 or 20,000, had pronounced against Santa Anna, and it was•daily expected that the city of Mexico would follow. Santa Anna having become annoyed at the interference of Congress, had put that body down, the news of which was proclaimed with great pomp and show in Vera Cruz. However, all this showing off was got up by the military, and it was very evident that the people did not participate in the 'glorious news.' " Mr. Cushing has been robbed of all his books and Chinese papers ; the robbers have taken advan tage of the unsettled state of the country, and have become insupportable. The people here think the United States will not go to war on account of Texas, as they say, by granting licenses to privateers, that the United S ta t es w ill l ose more t h an she possibly can gain. " DEC. 11, 1844.—Since writing on the 9th, in which I described the rejoicings here on account of Santa Anna having put down the Congress, we have had a total change in the appearance of things. Only three days after the guns had been fired in honour of the above disgraceful proceedings, news arrived that Mexico, and nearly all the country, had pronounced against Santa Anna. This information was re ceived at Vera Cruz when a norther was blowing, consequently there was no communication with the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa, and when the re joicings commenced for the downfal of the ' Great Chief,' which consisted of fireworks and in firing salutes from the forts, the castle understood this to be a further declaration in favour of Santa Anna, and they immediately proceeded to elect him Supreme Dictator;' but guess their astonishment when the storm cleared away, and they found the great man no longer existed in the minds of the good people of Vera Cruz. Well, what do you suppose they did ? Why, immediately after receiving the intelligence, they pronounced against the very man for whom but a day before they had voted the Dictatorship. Beautiful consistency, certainly. The feeling against Santa Anna is universal, and I think it would be difficult to find a person who would speak in favour of him. His portrait, which was once so much re spected, has been thrown from the balcony of the palace, and the mob tore it immediately into pieces. The individual who threw it exclaimed, at the same time, ' Here goes the son of aw— Even the famous leg, once belonging to Santa Anna, and which was buried in the city of Mexico with so much pomp, has again been restored to the at mosphere, and insulted in every way imaginable. His bust, which had a conspicuous place in the new and beautiful Theatre of Santa Anna (El Teatro de.Santa Anna), was broken into a thousand pieces. Another large statue of his, at Puebla, was demolished in rather a curious manner; first they hung him by the neck, then they cut off his head and afterwards spat in his face ; and at last left poor Santa Anna in the hands of a charitable Mexican mob. I am very much surprised that this once great man should have attempted to put down the present feeling against him by the sword; but what shows his confidence in his fancied power, is in marching to Queretaro, leaving Mexico, Puebla, Vera Cruz, and so many other towns in his rear ; his he must now regret, as they have all unani mously pronounced against him. What will be the end of this movement I cannot positively say, although I am inclined to believe that if he cannot bribe over some of the other generals and their soldiers, that he will endeavour to escape, and I think, in the event of his being taken prisoner, that he will most assuredly suffer death. The immense property that he has will certainly be confiscated, which, if he escapes, will not affect him i 'much, as he must have considerable funds in Europe. " The character of Santa Anna, both political and moral, is so black, that his present situation is lost to view when his crimes are considered. His friend, General Canalizo, late Vice-President, is now a pri soner in his own palace. Mr. Tuquenos, formerly Minister of Finance, still cannot leave the bounds of the city; and when his trial comes on he undoubtedly will be severely punished, as he and his friends have plundered the people to a very great extent, and which plunder will have to be restored. All the acts of this person for some time past are to be inquired into, and I suspect that many negotiations that he has had with some patticular merchants will be declared null and void. The house of Mr. Tuquenos, just now alluded to, was pulled to the ground by the mob. " The late Minister of War has been sentenced to some fifteen years' imprisonment for his partiality to Santa Anna, particularly for creating him Com mander-in-chief of the Forces. " The New York Morning Express contains the following extract from a letter of a highly respect able gentleman in the city of Mexico, to a merchant in this city, under date of the 4th of December, 1844 : " We are in the midst of a revolution, the result of which no one can foretell, because both parties are very powerful. The departments of Jalisco, Aguas calientes, and Zacatecas, have pronounced against Santa Anna with General Paredes as their'leader, who, by the bye, is a brave man and pretty good general, but not gifted with so much talent and shrewdness as General Santa Anna. It is believed generally here that other depart ments will follow the example of those already re volted, and in such a case it is difficult to tell where it may end. In the meanwhile General Santa Anna is advancing from Queretaro to meet General Pa redes, who, at the last accounts, was at Lagos. The former has under his command from 12,000 to 15,000 of the best troops in the Republic, and 25 pi eces o f cannon, all veterans and well disciplined; and the latter can dispose of all the resources of the Custom-houses of Jalisco, San Bias, Mazatlan, and the rich mining department of Zacatecas—but the military force is less numerous and less effective It is true, if we believe what we hear in general, that public opinion is rather against Santa Anna, but these people do not know what they wish, because it appears that all parties resent the treatment they have recei v ed from the Government of the United States, and all t o a man talk of waging war against Texas and against the United States, if the annexation takes place, but I do not know who will be the man capable of carry ing on such an enterprise, if by any chance Santa Anna should be deprived of his authority. However, we must not deceive ourselves. If this revolution is of long duration, the United States may do in the meanwhile what they please, but I have no doubt that if matters come to a prompt settlement, whichever be the victorious party will send to Texas an army of 25,000 or 30,000 men, and war against the United States is certain, in case the annexation should be effected." We have seen a letter addressed by a colonist i n South Australia to his father, a banker in Oxford, from which it appears that the cultivation of the vine and the olive is making considerable progress there, and that the sub-soil plough has been adopted with great advantage in preparing the ground fer that purpose. No ploughs of that description have been introduced as yet, but the young colonist referred to had sufficient ingenuity to construct one from a description contained in a work by a Scotch agriculturist. In breaking up new ground, especially for gardening purposes, this plough is stated to possess a very great superiority over the common plough. From the nature of the climate it is hoped that the orange and almond tree, as well as the vino and the olive, may soon be generally introduced into this colony. —Times.

(1,760.) , JANUARY 27 JAMES MATHESON, ESQ.. M.P. FOR ASEBURTON. AN ADDRESS PRESENTED TO JAMES MATHESON, ESQ., M.P., WITH A SILVER SNUFF-BOX, BY THE WORKING CLASSES OF THAT BOROUGH, JAN. 23, 1845. Sir, —As the representative of the working classes in this town, we hail with pleasure your appearance among us on this occasion. It affords us c , nsiderable satisfaction to find that you and your estimable partner are in the enjoyment of health. We avail ourselves of this opportunity of assuring you how very highly we appreciate your noble and generous conduct, especially in reference to the inhabitants of this borough. Probably, Sir, you are aware that when your respected friend, our late valued Member, was introduced to us, it was a period of unexampled com mercial distress. For many dreary months we and our fellow operatives were entirely without employ. In pass ine• ti e door of the weaver no cheerful sound of the shuttle was heard, and in our factories and workshops no joyous tongue gladdened our ears—gloom brooded over the horizon, and despair spread its blighting in fluence over ourselves and our families. At this de pressing juncture our late representative was unex pectedly removed by death, and then, Sir, an auspi cious Providence directed us to you as his successor ; and we cannot advert to this circumstance, without giving utterance to the unmingled pleasurable emotions which have been excited. Your introduction to us resembled the rising of the sun in all its brilliance, after a lengthened stormy night ;your liberal interference on our behalf, and your kind and seasonable attention to our interest, have dispelled our sadness, and substituted cheerfulness and comfort. Constrained Sir, by a sense of obligation, we, the working classes, have wished to offer some small, yet lasting token of the genuineness and ardour of our gratitude. We exult in the prompt and willing effort that has been made by upwards of 2,000 persons from among us, by subscribing a penny each to procure for you a silver snuffbox; which we now humbly tender for your acceptance. Receive it Sir, as the thankful tribute of numbers whose poverty and suffering have been alleviated by your seasonable kindness; our wives and families share with us in the gratification of expressing to you our warmest thank fulness. May the Great Supreme Being long spare your valuable life to repeat your personal visits among us, which will always delight us, and may you prove the happy instrument in reviving the trade of our town. We cannot, Sir, close our address without alluding to your annual gifts to the public institutions of this place ; and also to the liberal sums which you have so generously caused to be distributed among the poor. Our ardent wish is, that Heaven may grant you real happiness below, and everlasting glory hereafter. We consider ourselves honoured in having you for our representative in Parliament; and without venturing to dictate, allow us humbly and earnestly to solicit you to sanction all measures bearing on " free trade," persuaded as we are, that it is only by completely unfettering our commerce that the indus trious classes will have sufficient employment, and a pro per remuneration for their labour, whilst the prosperity of our country is promoted, and the welfare of man - kind established. In conclusion, permit us to state, that with the presentation of this humble testimonial of our unfeigned respect, we would add our fervent wishes, that the Divine Providence who has so long shielded your life in distant climes, may spare you and your amiable partner many, many years. Be assured, Sir, in your personal and social happi ness we shall always feel most deeply interested. The grateful working classes and others, with their children, will ever rejoice in alluding to the name of Matheson.—We are, Sir, yours most gratefully, (Signed on behalf of the Committee) HENRY MEERS, Chairman. Ashburton, Jan. 23, 1845. MR. MATHESON'S ANSWER. Mr. Meers, Chairman, Mr. Fitze, Secretary, and all my kind and warm-hearted Friends,— How or where can I find language sufficiently expressive to convey to you the fervour of my gratitude for the too flattering address and testimonial which you are pleased to offer me. To deserve and to enjoy the good opinion of his constituents, ought to be the aim, and may well be considered the honest ambition of every representative of the people. How gratified then must I feel to be thus honoured by no less than two thousand of your number, men whom I know to be distinguished equally by the independence of their political principles, as by their intelligence, industry, and highly respectable bearing in every relation of life ; for to say the truth, there is no body of men whom I have seen so much reason to esteem, and with whom my intercourse has been productive of so much satisfaction, as those I have now the pride and pleasure to address. This testimony of your goodwill towards me is the more gratifying from the manner in which it has been arranged ; for, first, it is a source of satis faction to me to know that none of the contributors have been put to inconvenience by the share they have borne in it; and, secondly, the large number of those who have joined in presenting me this gift i 3 the best possible proof of the unanimity of feeling which suggested it, and the harmony of opinion which it is designed and intended to convey. I thank you all most cordially and sincerely for the gift itself, and assure you that I shall preserve it with great care, as one of the most agreeable me mentos I could have of a period of my life spent in a position to which I was elected by the constituency of Ashburton, and in which, while I have endea voured to discharge my duties, my conduct has hap pily been honoured with your unqualified appro bation. After the manner in which you have expressed yourselves, however, on several topics of public inte rest in the flattering address accompanying your highly valued gift, I cannot content myself with merely offering my thanks, but will embrace the op portunity which the occasion so appropriately offers, to advert, very briefly, to one or two of the questions of public policy which it will be the duty of the Le gislature to consider; and which it will be the inte rest of all the constituencies of the kingdom rightly to appreciate, and temperately, yet firmly and vigo rously, to support. First in the order of necessity and importance, is that which you have touched upon in your ad dress, namely, Free Trade, meaning thereby the abolition of all merely protective duties; and I consider your advocacy of it as the strongest proof of your enlightenment; seeing that, although long since inculcated by philosophers and men of learning, it is cnly very recently and tardily that it has been able to overcome the old interest-begotten prejudices that have unfortunately so long swayed the bulk of mankind. So prejudiced against free trade were the artisans of this' country at a very recent period, that it was impossible for the Minister to pro pose the minutest abatement of protection on the most insignificant article without exciting such a violent clamour and resistance as it was for a time impossible to withstand. When we consider how powerful is the influence of large pecuniary interests to obscure the reason and cloud the judgments of men, we can hardly wonder that there should be some parties alarmed at what seems likely to injure their local and peculiar sources of profit. But to all other minds not so fettered, the question of free trade must seem one of the easiest to understand, and one of the most advantageous to the world at large (but to England in particular) to carry out as speedily and extensively as possible. When it pleased the great Creator in his wisdom to produce for the habitation of man a globe marked by diver sities of climate and yielding an infinite variety of products, each in excess beyond the wants of the par ticular provinces in which they are found, he saw fit also in his benevolence to provide the means of barter and exchange between all the varied regions of the earth, by the noble rivers which form the chan nels of conveyance for the produce of the interior to the sea coast, and then the vast ocean as the high way between nations the most remote. If the inhabitants of each of these nations were re stricted to the use of their own products only, and could not interchange them with others for articles differing from their own, it is clear that all countries would remain in a state of comparative barbarism, as each would be lamentably deficient in many things essential to their happiness, at the same time that they would be encumbered and burdened with far more than they needed of their own peculiar products. But if free trade be important to the world in general, it may be called the life-blood of England especially. In no other country of the world have there yet been made the same advances in the arts and sciences as applicable to manufacturing power. In no other country are there the same inexhaustible beds of iron and coal, in none the same amount of skill and indus try, or the same extent of capital and energy to combine all these for the production of wealth. From all which there results the daily and hourly manufacture of such a vast mass of commodities as to be beyond measure superabundant for the consumption of our own popu lation. And it is impossible these immense manu factories and the millions of our fellow-countrymen depending upon them can be maintained ; far less can they advance as they ought, without a constant and progressively expanding demand for their com modities, among the other nations of the globe. For these reasons, and a hundred others which might be added, I respond most cordially to your wssh that I should sanction all measures in favour of free trade, to which I shall always give my constant and earnest support.) There is another topic of the highest importance in which I am sure your sympathies will be as warmly enlisted as mine—l mean the extension and promo tion of education.

Equally remarkable is it that the Conservative Go• vernment feels itself (as the only mode of retaining power) compelled to dole out piecemeal, and against the wishes of its adherents, portions of he very mea sures on which they had ousted their predecessors from power. Thus it is a consolation to reflect that the force of public opinion is able to extract some in stalments of liberal measures even from Conservatives and Tories. Cherish then these liberal principles, and continue to set an example to other constituencies of independence, of industry, and of orderly conduct, and be assured that they can never fail to produce goods fruits, both to yourselves and to your country. I will not farther prolong my observations, except to assure you, in conclusion, that I value most highly the testimonial you have been pleased to present to me, and shall never cease to feel grateful for the flat tering terms in which you are pleased to advert in your address to my past services in Parliament, and in promoting the trade and welfare of your borough, and that I shall do my utmost, in future, to continue to deserve your good opinion and enjoy your confi• deuce. DREADFUL ATTEMPT at MURDER AND SUICIDE, BY AN INSANE MAN. On Friday morning, between five and six o'clock, the inhabitants of Deritend and Bordesley, Birmingham, were thrown into a state of great excitement, in con sequence of an attempt made by Mr. Bunny, a carpenter, to kill his wife and afterwards destroy himself. In the summer of 1843 he conceived the notion that he had been poisoned by some person, and could not live. The result of this idea was a constant apprehension of death, terminating in paroxysms, which rendered restraint necessary, and he was accordingly removed to the Lunatic Asylum at Sutton. After a few months he came out apparently quite recovered, and resumed his avocation. About three months ago, Mr. C. Walker, of Round Hills, Aston, became possessed of the Rainbow public-house. Some alterations being deemed neces sary in the premises, Mr. Bunny was employed to make them: he became acquainted with the barmaid, an interesting-looking and agreeable woman, named Sarah Turner. He made an offer of marriage to Miss Turner, and on Tuesday last they repaired, with their friends, to Aston church, where they were married. They returned to the Rainbow, and in the course of the following day he was observed to be particularly gloomy. On Thursday he complained of his head, and he and Mrs. Bunny re tired to bed after supper, about twelve o'clock. About half-past five in the morning, the servants and the per sons living in the adjoining houses were alarmed by the most awful shrieks and cries of murder. The servant man rushed up stairs, and hearing Mrs. Bunny screaming for help, tried in vain to force open the door. He then ran into the street, and pre sently Mrs. Bunny was seen at the bedroom window calling for assistance. A ladder was immediately placed against the window, and Mr. Bunny made his appear ance, and descended into the street, half dressed, with his throat eut and his person literally covered with blood. He was conducted into the shop of Mr. Fletcher, within a few doors of the Rainbow. Here his appearance and conduct left no doubt of the state of his mind, and Mr. Fletcher had him well secured, and then proceeded to the house and upstairs to the bedroom door. This he found securely fastened inside. When they got in, a scene of the most horrifying description presented itself. Mrs. Bunny was leaning against a side wall in her night dress, which was saturated from top to bottom in blood, flowing from a number of wounds in various parts of her body. The bedclothes, curtains, and floor I equally presented a most frightful appearance. She was immediately put into bed, and in a few minutes , Mr. Archer, surgeon, was in attendance, and on examin ing her person, he found not less than seven severe wounds, which had been inflicted with a knife. The poor woman's throat was dangerously cut. He imme diately rendered the necessary attendance. He then visited the unfortunate husband, and found a wound upon his throat, which he secured, and also some other cuts of minor importance. He was then removed to the workhouse. During the drive the men had great diffi culty in keeping him in the car, and preventing him from further injuring himself. In the course of the day Mrs. Bunny was so far recovered as to be able to state some particulah of the unfortunate occurrence. It appears that about five o'clock in the morning her husband gut out of bed hastily, and locked the door. By his doing so she was awakened, and presently heard him say, " My dear, we have lived together, we have loved together, and we shall die together." He had no sooner uttered these words, than he seized hold of her in the bed, cut her in the throat, and began to stab her with a large clasp pocket-knife in various parts of the body. She jumped out of bed, screaming for help, and the impression on her mind is that the unfortunate man became terrified, and attempted to cut his own throat. It would seem, however, that to the bluntness of the knife the salvation of both their lives is attributable. NAVAL-- INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 26.—Rear-Admiral Bowles and the Right Hon. 11. T.
