Q. - '' - nr,-011 Monday the 27th, in Committee of Sup h—Y, was one of those bye debates, which sometimes p r oduce as much effect as more formal contests. A r ottictionist Member proposed the cutting down of certain_ salaries, upon the ground that the country i' 3 4 % ruined by Free Trade ; and stated that he should 1 , 5 well content to know, that his constituents were r:t. damaged by it at a greater rate than that of the ( _,luction he proposed. Hereupon the Free Trade ,"le did, w h a t th e y ought to have done every time the like o pp o rtunity was offered them,—declare ro undly that if one set of constituents were the worse fs 1 ; 4. Free T ra d e , another were the better for it and to of greater amount, and with the additional satisfaction • i ll knowing that their gain did not arise from inflict ofg an unjust loss on other people, but by the removal their own. Ri lf this system had been followed from the be 'lnning, there would have been little heard now of . 6tectionist revivals.

It appears it is the custom in some locations o , I t is at Bradfield, for the blacksmiths of the place when t l i te of their cra ft marries, to fire a rejoicing salute by eY call "bl ow i nm up t h e anv il." A wedding of the Nv ll3 ,, C Lled for Friaty, and Mr. John Scrivener, in c l omp lance pr 4 ‘.t the custom, had made preparations fur the b all times a dangerous, and almost insane proceeding.

EPSOM RACES.-TUESDAY. If the bill of fare for the commencement of the annud summer gathering on Epsom Downs exhibited no feature cf importance, and was below the mark in the entres for the inferior stakes, it came up to the average in the number of events, and, eked out with beats, to which the stewards adhere with a pertinacity made the more re markable by their abolition at every other meeting of consequence, realised a moderate amount of spore. The two principal events were well filled, but with Coning wood in one and Buckhound in the other, looked so much like "certainties," that, ill-supported as they were the minor priz , s, a large company could not have rea sonably been anticipated; still so exciting hare been the recent fluctuations in the Derby betting, that no :pecu lator with any regard for his " book" could safely abFeat himself; hence the attendance of the sporting community was good, but owing as much no doubt to a wet morning as to the comrarativo want cf attraction in the list, the company in all other respects was I cry considerably below par—to those who were present a favourable change in the weather about one o'clock proved very acceptable. The day's sport was not of a Lento to call for many observations; the Craven Stakes came off as every body anticipaei, but was a very near thing; it is long since th, gallant Collingwood was run so close. The Knight of Gwynne was weighed for this race, and his number suffered to remain until a good deal of money had been laid out on him and Collingwood conjointly—his with drawal at the eleventh hour elicited remarks anything but complimentary to the owner. If the result of the first race was in accordance with the betting, it was otherwise with the Woodcote, the Goodwood flyer being bowled over by an animal of whom so little was thought even by his own party, that 7 to 1 was laid against him at starting. Of the heat races the least said the better; they afforded but indifferent sport. Before we proceed to a detail of the running, a word or two on thu Derby will not be cut of place ; Clincher, against whom it will be recollected 9 to 1 was laid at the corner on Monday afternoon, was in immense force, 5 to 1 taken to several thousand pounds, making him first favourite; Mildew and Bolingbroke were quoted at the slime fig,ure, Bolingbroke decidedly weak in the market. The Nigger was backed for a large sum at 7 to 1, and Pitsford at 15 to 2; Deicooa improved, and the odds quoted cgainst Nutshell and the Knight of Gwynne ,t ere taltc:il at one time with much spirit. We hare un derneath given a list of the probable starters, amount ing to :25; it is more than probable, however, that the ac:ual number at the post will not exceed 22 ; Mayors, Penang, one of Count Batthyany's, and Flare-up, are di looked upon as doubtful; nor would The Italian's non-appearance excite any surprise. Should Mayors be scratched .Marlow will be on Alonzo. The racing commenced shortly after two o'clock, and finished about five. The following is a return: — The Craven Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 40 sous. added; f",r three yrs old, Est Sib; four, Bst 101 b; five, 9it 41b; six and aged, 9st 10:b.

Cora took toe lead immediately after starting, followed by the DarleSusan colt and The Moor, the others lying well up, with the favourite in the rear; this order was unchanged until they reached the T.Y.C. post, where the running was taken up by The Moor, and carried on by him to the distance; here the Dark Susan colt wont to the front, waited on by the favourite and Kathleen. At the stand this trio were together, and a very fine race ensued, Collingwood winning by a head, and Kathleen beating Sir Gilbert Heathcote's colt by a neck; The Moor fourth. Run in 2 min. 20 arc. The Woodcote Stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 100 added; two yrs old colts, Bst 61b; fillies, Bst 31b. The second to receive 25 sovs. out ot the stakej, and the winner to pay 10 sons. tiwards expenses.

Buckhound, Bri tannia, a id Brother to Drakelow got away together, and jointly cut out the work to the road, where Buckhound took a decided lead, which he held until half way up the distance, where Marlborough Buck, who did not get through his horses until they were round the turn, took the second place.

South-Westcm Rail, to witness the coup d'essai of young Alfred Walker, third brother of the once-renowned Johnny, and Darby, a sprig from the Walsall school, a hardy looking specimen of the hardware district. The battle was characterised ;by unflinching courage and a credit able amount of pugilistic skill on both sides. The pro vincial's length gave him great advantage over his wore Compact and short•arwed antagonist, which, added to his straight and rapid deliveries, so far•placed the result seemingly in his hands that 3 to 1 was offered on him at the 30th round, and no takers. The " young-un," how ever, who had hitherto tried out-fighting, and jumping away, shortly after, by the advice of Jemmy Welsh, who (with D. Wintyre) acted as his second, took to staying with his man, countering and playing close. Walker thus turned the tables, and in the 48th round hit Darby down with a rapid one, two, which gained the victory after 83 minutes' bustling encounter. Darby was atten tit ely seconded by W. Hayes and Geo. Holden. NORTHERN COAL MINING COMPANY.-0a Mon day the Master in ,Chancery (Blunt) made a call of 10 per share to defray the liabilities of this concern. LONDON, *an); GERMAN Y. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin of the 26th instant has the folloviing news : " llis Majesty has slept well during the greater part of the night. The fever was slight, and the swelling, but not the painful feeling in the arm, is lessened. The wound presents a favourable appear ance, and the suppuration continues. " Von MANTEUFFEL." The Berlin papers of the 25th inst. publish the text of the note which the Governments of the Prussian League have addressed to Austria. It is to the fol lowing purport : " My letter of the 31 inst. informed your Excellency of the invitation which the Austrian Cabinet addressed to all the members of the Germanic Confederation appointing a meeting at Frankfort-on-the-Maine. When we received that invitation I could only say that his Majesty's Government would consider the subject, but that a definitive resolution could only be come to after a consultation with his Majesty's allies : for to act in concert with them is not only the wish but also the duty of his Majesty's Government. That consultation has now taken place, and his Majesty's Government is fully satisfied with the strong sympathies it met with among its allies, and which are a guarantee of a fa vourable progress of an affair in which we are all equally interested and concerned. I am therefore now enabled to empower your Excellency to make the following declaration to the Austrian Cabinet, and I trust that that Cabinet will recognise in this declaration an earnest desire of his Majesty's Go vernment to do all in its power to bring this question now pending in Germany to a favourable issue. In considering the invitation of the Austrian Cabinet, we and all the Garman Governments have but one starting point, viz., our consideration for the welfare and safety of cur common country. The union of all Germany, the regeneration of the old Confederation on a basis which answers to the real wants of the nation, is to us of such vital importance that we think it our duty to try every means by which success can pos sibly be achieved, and our sorrow at the prevailing want of harmony has been so great as to make us joyfully seize every opportunity by which this state of things may possibly be changed. We likewise recognise it as an immediate desideratum to provide at least for a provisional superintendence of our common affairs. All the German States are equally interested in this, and a consultation of all the Governments cannot therefore ap pear in any other light than as the most na tural and indeed federal way of arriving at a general resolution. We are therefore happy that the Austrian Cabinet has taken the first step on this path, and we are prepared to respond to the invite, tion, and to send our Plenipotentiary to Frankfort. We do not think there can be any doubt as to the character of the conferences to be held in that city. We understand them to be free consultations of the Sovereign States of Germany, on an international basis of perfect freedom and independence, and whose meeting and union must therefore result from their own free will. 'We protest against the convocation of a Congress on the basis of the ex tinct presidial functions of the dissolved Federal Council ; and we cannot recognise to this meeting the character of the former ' Plenum' of the late Fede ral Council. We consider this Assembly as a meeting of 35 German Governments for certain and definite purposes. We cannot, therefore, allow that meeting to take resolutions in the name of the Confederation, and such which would be binding on dissentient Governments. No consequences whatever can re sult for the latter from such resolutions, except that the results of the meeting do tot apply to them. We trust that this supposition will not be realised, and that the interchange of views will lead to a har monious co-operation of all Governments. But this very hope makes us the more positive in demanding the perfect independence of all States. We therefore openly protest that we will not consent to any recon stitution of the Federal Council which neglects to secure to all Governments the principle of a free union on the basis of Federalism. We make this statement with the same candour which we expect, &c., " Berlin, May 16. " SCIILEINITZ, " To his Majesty's Ambassador, the Count Bernstorff, at Vienna." SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. By a letter from Rendsburg of the 24th, it appears that that fortress was to be declared in a state of siege on the 25th. General Willi3en had arrived on the previous day.

The Tuscan Monitore of the 21st publishes a decree of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, announcing his intention of leaving the country for some time, and directing that the Council of Ministers shall be entrusted with the management of affaire, and that the presence of five Ministers shall be sufficient for the validity of their resolutions. The Grand Duke and his family set out for Vienna on the 20th. The Municipal Council of Florence has decided, in its sitting of the 18th, that the present political cir cumstances of the country are not of a nature to allow of the celebration of the usual public festivities on Midsummer-day. _ A letter from Arezzo of the 20th, quoted by the Genoa Gazette, states that a stone having been thrown from a window at an Austrian soldier, this occur rence caused a collision between some townspeople and the military, which became so serious that the latter made use of their firearms, in consequence of which three persons were wounded. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The hardening tendency of the yarn market has been strengthened by the Ca nada's advices,sho wing that the falling off in the receipts of cotton at the American ports is more than 600,000 bales; and that extensive tracts of cotton-growing lands are inundated by the overflow of the rivers— although the latter statement is received with a good deal of caution, while against it is placed the fact that a much greater breadth of land than before has been planted. Seeing no probability of doing better, for a time at any rate, our home manufacturers have bought a fair supply of twist and weft at the re quired rates, which have ranged about id. per lb. above those that were current before the holidays. The Indian merchants have also operated to a mode rate extent, at a like advance. Much caution has still marked the proceedings of the Germans; yet, though for the most part they have done but little, the transactions of some of their body have been considerable. The yarns they take, whether mule or water, may be considered to have gained Ad. per lb., and in some kinds J. In 20's and 30's water the improvement is particularly to be noted; in the numbers from 12's downwards, there appears to be an increased firmness and nothing more. The cloth market has partaken of the tendency just noticed in that of yarns, so far at least as to have .exhibited greater firmness than might otherwise have been the case in such articles as are least in request, with a disposition still to harden in those which are most wanted, particularly the lower qualities of 7-Bth printing cloth, and the lower descriptions of 40. inch shittings. For the latter, there has been more in quiry to-day, on India account. There is no call for 40-inch 66's and 72's, and some accumulations are appearing ; but the reeds below a 66 are yet consi derably under contract. The makers of domestics, T's, and long cloths, are gradually though .slowly gaining a little ground. Some of the buyers see it prudent to be now laying in a stock of these fabrics. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The past, being Whitsun week, fewer pieces were brought to the market, and they would necessarily meet with a better sale under the usual demand. The wool market is yet dull, and prices, especially for English wool, may be quoted rather easier. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Since our last the sales of manufactured goods have been on a small scale, and prices are said to be. unsatisfactory. The thrown silk market remains in the same quiescent state it has done for some weeks ,past; whilst raw silks are reported firm, with considerable business doing. The dyers complain of slack trade; but, at this season of the year, this is not unusual. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market has been rather fiat, considering the fineness of the weather, with the exception of the low fancy and tweed por tions ; the manufacturers of those articles are as busy as possible for the American market. There has not been much business doing in the warehouses this week. The wool market keeps firm. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There is no new feature in the aspect of the worsted trade, which is steady but not brisk. Lastings, of low quality, are still much. inquired for, but are not readily met with. A quantity of " amens" was dispatched from the Hall to-day, showing a more than ordinary demand for that old-fashioned article. The spinners are fully employed, and there is ro change in the quotations. There is not a great deal doing in wool, as the spin ners are working up their stocks, and waiting for the new clip ; but there is a pretty strong impression that wool has seen its lowest figure. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There is no change of impor tance to notice in the cloth trade since last week. The markets have been pretty well attended, and a fair business has been done. Stocks are lower i❑ the makers' hands than they usually are at this season of the year, and prices keep firm.

A court-martial assembled this morning on board the Victory, at nine o'clock, to try Mr. Thomas Coutts, boatswain of the Blenheim, on a charge of drunkenness while on duty on board the Birkenhead, employed in the conveyance of troops, on the 16th instant. Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim, proved the case. The prisoner said, in defence, he had been unwell on the previous day, and was up late that night on duty, and the next morning was up early ; had not time to get any breakfast on the 16tb, and took a little spirits instead, which upon his empty stomach overcame him. He had been thirty years in the service, and had always borne a good character. He therefore threw himself upon the mercy of the court. Testimonials of a highly satis factory character were put in from officers under whom he, had served, among them Captain Quin, of the Ajax, one of the members of the court. The charge was declared fully proved, and the prisoner was sentenced to be dismissed her Majesty's service, but in consideration of his long servitude and previous good character the court notified they would recom mend the Lords of the Admiralty not to deprive him of his pension. The Russian frigate Pallas, from Madeira fdr Cronstadt, with the Imperial Due de Leuchtenberg on board, is expected here daily, and the Commander in-Chief has received orders to salute and pay every respect to his Highness, who will probably land and visit her Majesty at Osborne.

To-day being appointed for launching her, a number of spectators assembled to witness the ceremony, which took place at three r.ax., amidst the cheers of those present. Captain Sir John Hill, with Miss Darley, who christened the vessel, arrived a few minutes before the launch took place, and a bottle of wine being opened, Miss Darley then drank success to the Wasp ; the bottle was then sus pended at the bow of the vessel, and immediately after it was broken the last dog shore was removed, and the Wasp was launched into the basin, having been in the inner dock.

A SOCIAL STRIKE. A convention of women is reported to have taken place in the state of Ohio, which lasted two days, and resulted in the following declaration of inde pendence : " They wish to participate in making the laws by which they are to be governed. "They wish the same rights, laws, and protection for one sex as for the other. " They state that the servile submission of the women of this country to the unequal and oppressive laws by which they are governed is the fruit of de gradation and ignorance. " They resolve, that their own welfare and the highest good of the sex demand that they should se cure to themselves the elective franchise. " They resolve that the laws in favour of man, to control the persons and property of women, are merely a modified code of the slave plantation, and that is the reason why women sympathise with the suffering slave. " They declare that, as human beings, women are entitled to all the rights that belong by nature to any member of the human family. " They protest that all distinctions between men and women, social, literary, pecuniary, religious, or political, based on distinction of sex, Sze., ought to be abolished at once. " They also say that the practice of holding women to a different standard of morality and propriety is unnatural and highly detrimental to domestic fun and happiness. "They are perfectly satisfied that a republican government is just as much down upon the women as any hereditary despotism. " They say that ' all things work in a circle ;' woman must put forth her hands courageously, dis regard public sentiment on many matters, and grasp them in disregard of the usages which have hitherto withheld them from her. " They regard such women as step forth into the world, in the face of sneers and scoffs of the public, to fill large spheres of labour, as the truest preachers of woman's rights." And, last of all, they have passed unanimously the following " whereas" with the " resolutions :" " Whereas one class of s •ciety dooms woman to a life of drudgery, and another to one of dependence and fri volity; and whereas the education she generally receives is calculated to cultivate vanity and dependence, therefore— " Resolved—That the prevalent ideas of female edu cation are in perfect harmony with the position allotted her by the laws and usages of society. " Resolved—That as woman is not permitted to hold office, nor have any voice in the government, she should not be compelled to pay taxes out of her scanty wages to support men who get eight dollars a day , for taking the right to themselves to enact laws for her. ' HERRING TRADE.—WICK, MAT 15.—A few her rings have been caught this week, at Sarclet, on the hooks. No trial will be made here with nets for a few weeks yet. Offers have been made within the past few days at Wick of Bs. per barrel, for full crown-brands, of last season's take, but refused, and 10s. demanded, which bad not been ob tained. No accounts, so far as we can hear, have been received from either home or continental markets show ing any revival in the trade. Very little stir is being created by the preparations for the coming season, and en gagements are only entered into upon " general terms,' where r used e h a to s be this firsty toyear r cone hebeen n to which is believed will b e 7 s. per emu at Wick. Ou the Banf f with the fishermen, coast, nothing done, and sev era l o f t h eir number are going out of the trade. It is b e li eve d that many boats' crews will be little or srm forced to stay on shore this season, for want of engage ments. Last week a few herrings were caught in nets at Sandside, and along this coast. From Stornoway we learn that, owing to the severity of the weather very little has as yet been done in the herring fishing there. The boats were out two nights last week and were partially successful. Several small parcels of herrings have been during this and last week brought from the Lewis to this place, and re-ship ped per steam to L e ith, destined, no doubt, for the con tinental market. About sixty barrels arrived, and were dis patched by sail smack.—John 0' Groat Journa l .
