Fox's speech, exhibited to the meeting an elegant cushion, upon which a most beautiful cornucopia was worked by the y the needle, forwarded by a lady from the country, through the medium of Mr. Burnett, as a contribution towards the Bazaar. The b e auty of this article excited general admiration. Mr. THOMPSON said, he never listened to eloquence such as that which had d e li g hted the present meeting,i without a strong desir e t o be h i mse lf mute. 'o heighten the effect whi c h h a d been produced wa s next to impossible, and he (Mr. Thompson) shoul d dee p l y regret the saying of anythi n g that might diminish it. To him such spectacles as the one before him were not singular. In connexion w ith that sacred cause ( the cause of emancipation) with which his humble name had been coupled by the chairman, he had for many years seen frequent meetings like that both in Engla nd and in America. It was not going beyond the truth to say that the triumph of the abolition cause was greatly ac celerated, ' if not principally achieved, by the untiring efforts_ of the noble-minded women of England.—(Cheers.) To them belonged, in no small measure, the hono ur of having formed that public opinion, which, in the end, iyas_ fund so strong that a Cabinet Minister now opposed to them , impossible to in Parliament that it was to resist its demand.—(Loud cheers.) Well did he remember the time when a petition from the women of England had to be brought into the House of Com mons by half a dozen of the officers of the House, and when one of the most distinguished among the people's representatives exclaimed, "It is time to legislate for the extinction of colonial slavery, when the maids and matrons of England, half a million strong, are thunder ing at our doors for justice."—(Cheers.) His eloquent friend bad not been afraid to speak to the ladies present of the petty persecutions they would have to encounter among their acquaintances, and the probable sneers and misrepresentations of a portion of the public press. He (Mr. Thompson) ;knew too well the courage and forti tude of the women of this country to imagine for a mo ment that any of these things would scare them from the discharge of their duty.—(Cheers.) He had wit nessed the undaunted, the almost heroic bravery of their sisters on the other side of the Atlantic, in a kindred cause. He bad seen them sit calm and unmoved in a meeting like that, while a ruffianly mob - without were breaking the windows, and threatening the destruc • tion of the building ; and, while he gazed upon them, he had felt that he would sooner find his wife, his :sister, or his daughter] among those women, than among the coroneted aristocracy of his native country.—(Cheers.) The truly noble were the truly humane. Not many mighty, not many honour able, had been memorialised in the pages of sacred his tory; but many who we . re poor and despised in th e i r own day had been. It Pharaoh's daughter was men tioned, it was because she took pity on the infant she found sleeping among the bulrushes, and brought it up as her own.—(Cheers.) Little did the poor widow think, when she was dropping her two mites into the treasury, that the eye of the Saviour of the world was upon her, and that she would live for ever on the page " of inspiration, w ith this commendation of her con d uct from the lips of a Divine Being, " She hath done what she could."--,(Cheers.) To do anything to help a cause like that which brought them together, was much; to win the approbation of their-own hearts, was more; but, to obtain the testimony of Him who was greater than our hearts, was best of all ; and that could only be gained by amaking our capacity for doing good the standard of our duty, and losing no opportunity of speaking or acting in the cause of truth and justice.— (Cheers.) Thus far the anti-corn-law cause had been conducted free from sectarianism on the one hand, and party-political bigotry on the other.—(Cheers.) No distinctive differences were compromised by joining the League. No names were written on their standard as the badge of a party. No votes were given in the House of Commons for this man or that, because he was of this or that sect in politics. Never had the motto-, " Measures and not men"—been more consistently acted upon than ,by the League.—(Cheers.) It was earnestly to be hoped that such would always be the case. — (UM.)

SUMRIARY OF NEWS Yesterday a meeting of ladies was held at the Hanover square Rooms, being summoned by the Ladies' Committee for promoting the success of the Free-Trade Bazaar, to hear addresses from W. J. Fox, Esq., and George Thomp son, Esq. Before one o'clock, the time appointed for the meeting, the Queen's room was filled. Mr. William Beaver was introduced to the chair by Mr. Saull. The CHAIRMAN said, Ladies, it would be bad taste in me to occupy a single portion of your time, when we have such friends as Mr. Fox and Mr. George Thompson in your presence. I will at once commence the business of the morning by calling upon W. J. Fox, Esq., to address you.---(Applause.) Mr. Fox then came forward, and was received with considerable applause. He said—Such an audience as I behold here assembled, and on such an occasion as that which has led to your coming together this day, renders the present meeting one without precedent or parallel in the history of public speaking. The circumstances give it a peculiarity of character, which, to a certain extent, cannot but depress the feelings of those who have to address you, from the very sense of moral sublimity, which cannot but be suggested to our minds by the scene which we now contemplate.—(Hear, hear.) For—to behold you, the representatives of the women of England, brought together to bear your public and active testimony to the cause of justice and hu manity, involved as it is in the proceedings of the Anti- Corn-law League, is a nobler and a grander sight than any miscellaneous public assemblage, however vast its numbers, and however determined its opinions. It is grander far than— any 'gathering. of any patriots or warriors listening to the leaders whom the y expect to guide them on to battle and to victory. It is grander than any meeting of the ministers of reli gion assembled in their rubes, gowned and mitred, and surrounded by adoring multitudes—because in you, who have so great an object to be realised—an object as great as ever was contemplated by human beings—in you we se. , the women of England met to declare that the laws which refuse to industry its remuneration—which ag gravate the wretchedness of the suffering and restrict the achievements of enterprise—which divide class from class—which swell the bills of mortality and • fill the records, not only of disease, but of 'crime—ought to he abolished. You are met here to bear your testimony that this disease-creating. and poverty-producing law shall not be continued—a law which presses down the powers of the country, and renders this isle the abode -of vice and wretchedness, when it might be one of virtue and of enjoyment—•of honourable and useful progress. But, what can I say to you—can I declare to you more than you yourselves express by your attendance here? What topics can I appeal ro which you have not anticipated? Your presence here is more eloquent than the most strenuous discourse of the most eloquent public speaker.—(The Learned Gentle man was here briefly interrupted by an expression of approbation which we cannot call a cheer or applause, but which was too marked to be left altogether un recorded.) He went on to say that the effect of the corn-laws upon the whole of the British community was such as might be experienced by this great metrepolis, if that proud and stately river which flows through it were to change its course, and instead of mingling its waters with the ocean. were to surround, enclose, and isolate the City and the whole of Middlesex, so that we might speak of this metropolitan county, as the old romancer talked of the isle of Windsor, they . would have the isle of Mid dlesex.

Applications, with the usual references, addressed to H. Box B 80, Post-oftlee, Manchester, will have immediate attention. out, under the present restrictive system, but the imme diate cultivator would not find remuneration. Many would be driven to leave the localities to which they were attaehed, and would be obliged to go forth pilgrims, with heavy hearts, to look for a country which would give them a remuneration for their labour. Kent and Essex and Buckingham would have their retributory codes, and would impose pro hibitory duties on the produce of Middlesex. He told them that which they themselves knew, which they, the women of England, told to the world by gift e d members of their sex—he told them but that which had been put forth in bold and strong language by Mrs. Loudon, in her " Philanthropic Economy," which had been told with such elegance and almost fairy stores of fancy by Mrs. Marcett, and what had been told in such sound Philosophy, and with such varied illustration and infinity of resources, in the elegant and powerful lan guage of Harriet Martineau.—(Hear, hear.) They had given the world instruction, and they came there only to say that they were not inattentive to their lessons. They rejoiced that the women of England came forward there on that day with bllUla otrcarts arnrod. sc.' ut% thna i . Oh no, indeed, there was no need of teachers on a subject on which pens, and eloquent ones, had been found amongst their own sex. They had well done their duty; and if some times the heart of man forgot what was due to such teachers—if there was a tendency to take a dishonour able license with their names—if it a as said that writers of the gentler sex should, instead of discussing such sub jects, remain at home, making puddings and mending stockings, they might retort by saying that they were too honourable for many men otherwise employed at the present moment; and if legislators, peers, and rulers could not imbibe the simple lessons taught by those women, and had not integrity enough to act on them, why they were unworthy not only of their present functions, bat even of making puddings and mending stockings. There should be for them a more charitable feeling, even if they were as ignorant as it was pretended they were--even if they could only set up nurseries for un enlightened Chancellors of the Exchequer, and offer plums and praise to Premiers, who seemed to have some glimmerings, though imperfect, of the truth.—(Laughter.) As it was not necessary to treat this question as a matter of argument before an audience so enlightened on the subject, he would refer to another topic, and would thank them rather for the demonstration cf earnest fcel ing which they had shown, rather than call on them to use greater exertions in the cause, for he knew that was not necessary. They felt earnestly in this matter, be cause the evils of monopoly in their most aggravated form came especially under the notice of woman's kind and observing eye. Many who were present there w ere doubtless witnesses in their own neighbourhoods of the gradual sinkings from the effects of poverty—how di minished employment narrowed the resources derived L'om the weges of labour—how the poor lost one article after another—how their articles of furniture, and even their clothing went to the receptacle of the pawn broker how one., little luxury was given up ATENT BELMONT SPERM CANDLES, ONE SHILLING per lb. ; PATENT BELMONT SPERM UIL, FOUR SHILLINGS per Gallon, burning more brilliantly than the ordinary Sperm Candles and Oil, and differing from them in being nrincipally prepared from a pure vegetable material, Instead of an apure animal one.

None so well as the gentler sex knew how all this time the heart was breaking un der tl‘e strtiggie ; how 'the spirit was worn with the ef forts to make an appearance in the world, and in the contention to bear up against approaching poverty. They knew how, under the operation of those impious laws, the working man was transformed ; how those tendencies which hound together human beings to each other, and all the diversified classes of society in one harmonious whole, were broken, till at last he sunk in the struggle if he did not turn to crime and guilt. He need but mention these things to awaken a vivid picture of them in the memories of many who heard him. He knew that they felt those things as they ought, and, therefore, they were there on the present occasion. He would do nothing more than Express his thanks at the moral cou rage displayed by the women of England on this occa sion. To be present there, exhibited moral courage of no small amount, for they were opposed by an unscrupulous party who from their wealth and title gave the tone to fashion ; and not to be daunted by the sneers and in sinuations of such persons from being present there, exhibited the greatest moral courage. He had, however, to congratulate his fair and crowded auditory upon having as powerful advocates in their cause some portion of the public press. But he re gretted to say, that whatever of fidelity, and truth, and honour, they had experienced from that portion of the press faVOurable to their views—and they were not few —still he felt compelled to declare, that there were other public writers who, though they should be at least the faithful recorders of what passed at these meetings, yet did not hesitate to falsify their proceedings, and issue the most brazen contradictions of what had been said and done by those who were present ; but they were not to be surprised to hear on occasions their motives mis construed and impugned, their kind and mild desires to do good falsified, in a manner altogether abhorrent to every feeling of every well regulated mind and member of society. Even in the highest ranges of literature he had known instances of the pen being wielded by powerful hands to the ac complishmeet of the basest purposes, when it appeared that women had the benevolence to snake themselves marked by the use of their pen in exposing the pre vailing corruption daily vended in the market in the sisstninment of bad laws. This he could call nothing less than wielding the tomahawk of political writers by the hands of interested ruffianism.—(Cheers.) But the objects of the solicitude of those he now WAVY around him, felt assured of their continued exertions; and those who made those Exertions might rest assured of bespeaking, through their acts, an envied and envia ble glory and blessedness.—(Cheers.) For what could Le said to stand as equal to that reward which would be certain to crown with success and victory, already anti , ipated, the beneficent and meritorious warfare waged by such hands, conscious that they stood forth as the fair and firm advocates for the well-being of suffering humanity. To enter into a detail of the efforts of his fair auditory in coenexion with the bazaar about to be opened in Covent-garden would be unneces sary, for be lied already seen that in that too his hiehest expectations hail been anticipated, and therefore ho had no need to tell them what was to be done, for they all knew it much better than he could describe it. Fairy fingers had been at work, giving softness, and beauty, and harmony of colour, to:',tlnse productions of art which so clearly ; resembled those bestowed by the Great Creator of the Universe upon nature. The birds of the air had been vividly transferred to their works, and t h e „„ a „ had HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL RIVER YACHT FAIRY. This beautiful little vessel, built of iron in the strcngest manner, by Ditchburn and Mare, 145 feet in length and 21 feet breadth of beam, and 250 tons hurthen, fitted with oscillating engines, by John Penn and Son, was tried down the river yesterday for the fourth time. The Fairy left Deptford about nine o'clock A.M., under the charge of Commander Smith of the Woolwich Dockyard, with an officer and crew of the Black Eagle, mid the Royal Marines of the William and Mary yacht. Mr. John Penn, engineer, and Ms assistants, went on board at Deptford, and Mr. Lloyd, chief engineer at Woolwich Dockyard, embarked at that port to ascertain the speed of the vessel and the working of the machinery. This handsome vessel, which distanced all the other steamers on the progress down the river, is propelled with an astonishing degree of speed de cidedly far exceeding the greatest ever previously obtained by the screw propeller, with which she had been fitted on Mr. F. P. Smith's plan. The great speed of this vessel has been obtained by a very ingenious adaptation of the double slides to Mr. John Penn and Son's engines, which renders them more eligible than any other description of engines for screw propellers. When op. posite the measured nautical mile in Long Reach, the speed of the royal river yacht Fairy was calculated by Mr. Lloyd, and found to be, after ten trials, above thirteen knots on the average reckoning, and against wind and with the tide, upwards of fifteen statute miles per hour. The vessel rides in the water remarkably easy, notwithstanding her great velocity, and is sa stiff and upright in a breeze, or when the whole have moved to one side, as to show scarcely any perceptible difference in her perpendicular position. The engines, by Messrs. John Penn and Son, are two of 64-horse power, each making 48 strokes per minute, and causing, by the aid of the cog-wheel attached to them, 240 revolutions of the screw propeller in the same period of time, The engines are very com pact, and, owing to their oscillating movements, only occupy a very small space in the vessel, 14 feet by 4 feet ten inches, and the connecting axle of the screw is entirely under the cabin floor, near the keel of the vessel. The beauty of the workmanship, and perfect adaptation of every part of the engines to each other, was clearly shown during the trial, as not the slightest degree of heat.. ing took place, but every part worked with the greatest smoothness. It is expected the vessel will be completed in a few weeks, and ex. ceed in speed the fastest paddle-wheel steamer in any service. When opposite Charlton-pier en her return, the Fairy allowed No. 11 Waterman, fast boat, to get ahead, and, putting on her speed, distanced that vessel before she got to Blackwell. The draught of the Fairy is 4 feet 4 inches forward, and 5 feet 4 inches aft, and the height of the principal cabin, 6 feet 2 inches, and altogether very commodious and suitable for the purpose for which she has been built, THE MURDER IN ST.

PRINCESS'S CONCERT Rooms.—Miss Galbraith had a concert at the abo:e rooms on Wednesday evening last ; and she was aided by a variety of vocalists (in cluding Madlle.

Perhaps the best thing among the vocal efforts was the performance of Rossini's " Qttis est homo," rwhich Miss Galbraith and Madame Albertazzi gave in a most excellent and effective style. A little lady, .about twelve or thirteen years of age, rrjoiciii in the suggestive - flume of Dulcken, played a grand fantasia on the . pianoforte, and with such vast cx.!eution and evidel;ce of muscle as to greatly astonish the room.

Civil war has commenced in Switzerland, by an attack on Lucerne, in which, it is said, from 800 to 1,000 were killed. The particulars are given elsewhere. The French Government have presented to the Chamber of Deputies a Bill, demanding a credit of 28,700,000 f, for the improvement of the ports of Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, F - camp, Granville, and others. In the Chamber of Peers the discussion en the Colonial Administration Bill had commenced. The Minister of the Marine detailed at some length the object of the Government, which was to introduce into the colonies elements to promote the welfare of the slaves, to give them moral instruction, an encouragement to legitimate mai riages, and an efficacious repression of abuses. On all these points the Government and the Committee were perfectly agreed in their opinions. There was, however, he said, one important point on which they differed: The Committee wished the reforms to be all effected immediately, whereas the Government were of opinion that it should be done by degrees. The Bill excites great interest. Miss Louisa Bingham, eldest daughter of W. Bingham, Esq., of Philadelphia, niece of Lady Ashburton, and grand. daughter of the late Hon. Allin Chartier de Lothiniere, was married at Paris, on Wednesday, to Count Olivier de Bois guilbert. The France Meridionale of the 29th ult. gives some addi tional details of the insubordination of the law pupils at Toulouse. " The lectures," says this journal, " which were interrupted by the Easter holidays, were to continue on the Friday. after. The students arrived in great numbers to hear the lecture of M. Massal, but when they beheld that the measure which they complained of was maintained, they withdrew, notwithstanding the friendly representations of the rector, who was pleased to be present at the first sitting. The students continued to assemble, and used riotous lan • guage, until the arrival of the troops. They then dispersed in great agitation." Accounts from Rome state that further political arrests have been effected at Ravenna, by order of the military commission. The number of persons now in the prisons of that city for political offences amounts to upwards of 100, about twenty of whom belong to the first families in the pro vince. Among them are Counts Cappi, Gamba, Vicarj, MM. Dellavalle, Camerano, &c. Considerable sensation was created last evening in the neigbourhood of Great Queen-street, Holborn, by the announcement that the murderer of the unfortunate woman, Mary Brothers, had been captured in a court leading off the above street. We made inquiry on the subject, and found that the information we had received was correct. It appears that Superintendent Pearce, having received some communications on the subject, paid a visit to the lodgings of the party charged with this diabolical murder, and was fortunate enough to ap prehend the individual in question. His name is under stood to be William Cannon, his age is about 19, he is a smith, working with his father in the Haymarket. Superintendent Pearce, on taking the prisoner into custody, informed him of the nature of the charge against him. It is not stated in what way the prisoner met the imputation. He was immediately conveyed to the Bow-street station house, and messengers were at once sent off to Mr. Old ham, the cutler, of High-street, St. Giles, and to the w oman Palmer, the servant to th e brothel, who attended very soon afterwards. Both of them, without hesita tion, identified the prisoner; the former as knowing him to be the purchaser of the knife found in the wound in the unfortunate woman's neck, and the latter as bt ing the person who accompanied the deceased and engaged the room where the murder was committed. We are not aware that the prisoner was in any way influenced by the recognition by these parties, but, as stated by Mr. Oldham at the ingdest, the prisoner is a young man not more than twenty years of age, very sallow in com plexion, and nothing very remarkable in his appear ance. These are all the accredited facts that have trans , p i re d to this time respecting the prisoner. , TO SCHOOL ASSISTANTS, WTANTED immediately, an ASSISTANT V MATHEMATICAL and WRITING-MASTER, in a highly respectable Est2blishment.

Richard Dunn, the quondam suiter of iss Burdett Coutts, applied to the Court of Bankruptcy to be released from the Queen's Bench Prison as a preliminary step to obtaining his interim order. He had been incarcerated four years upon a judgment debt for costs of 801. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd refused the application. At Warwick James Crowley was indicted for the wilful murder of William Tilsly, in 1842. The circumstances of the case will be fresh in the recollection of our readers. The father of the prisoner being apprehensive of danger from his violence, had employed; Tilsly to watch him. On Christ mas-day, 1842. the prisoner asked admittance to his father's, and on being refused by Tilsly, shot him dead, and then made his escape to America, from whence he returned in 1844, and was captured. He was found'guilty and sentenced to death, without hope of mercy. Mr. Philip Henry Cooper, the steward of Sir W. Massy Stanley, was found guilty at Liverpool, of publishing a libel on the Rev. Joshua King. The libel arose out of a dispute on the subject of preserving foxes. At the Guildhall, Mr. Allum informed the sitting alder man that he had received a letter from the notorious Joseph Ady, couched in the usual terms. Thomas Henry Robinson, a young man of gentlemanlike appearance, who recently held the appointment of cashier at the Reading station of the Great Western Railway, was charged at Worship-street with having feloniously appropri ated a 501. note, the property of Mr. Blanchett, a licensed victualler, in Tottenham-court-road. It appeared that the alleged offence had been committed at Reading, and he was accordingly sent to that place for examination. At the Thames Police Court, Edward Farwey, the master of a school for the education of poor Irish children, in Princes square, Ratcliff Highway, and which is under the control of the Roman Catholic priests in the district, appeared before Mr. Ballantine, on a summons to answer a charge of assault ing John Utickly, a boy only seven years of age. The brutal schoolmaster, who had flogged the boy most inhumanly, was fined 20s. COVET-FASHIONABLE. Among the fair debutantes in high life, says the Herald, : who are to be presented at her Majesty's Drawing-room, on Thursday next, will be Lady Adele Villiers, the youngest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Jersey ; Miss Hogg, daughter of Mr. Hogg, M.P. ; the Hon. Miss F. Scarlett, second daughter of Lord and Lady Abinger ; Miss Lister, niece of Lord John Russell. We hear that Lady Blanche Somerset, eldest daughter of the Duchess of Beaufort, and Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, third daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, are to make their debid in society this season ; but it is understood will not be presented at the first Drawing-room. The Duchess of Grafton and Lady Louisa Fitzroy have arrived at Grafton House, Piccadilly, from Wakefield Lodge, ^ - 'Ph ;‘, f, his of Jersey, on her coming to the Countess Flahault and the Hon. Misses Elphinstone Flahault/ have arrived in Chesham-street, from Hastings. His Excellency Count Flahault is still fulfilling his diplo matic functions as French Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Austria, and the precise period of his expected de parture from Vienna for this country is not yet definitively settled. The Earl and Countess of Wilton have returned to Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray, from visiting the Duke of Rutland, at Belvoir Castle. The Noble Earl and Countess are ex pected to arrive in town for the season at the latter end of the ensuing week. The Earl of Harrowby (whose state of health for some time past has not been satisfactory) is at present very seri ously indisposed at his mansion - in Grosvenor-square. Vis count Sandon remains in attendance on his noble parent. The Duke of Devonshire has been suffering for some days past from an affection of the eyes. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde and the Ladies De Burgh, after passing some weeks in Naples, left that capital three weeks since, on their return to this country. MISCEZ.ZAILNEWITS. The meteorological observations made at the gardens of the Horticultural Society, at Chiswick, show the late winter to have been the most protracted and severe for many years past. From the Ist of December the mean temperature was 34 degrees, being lower than that of any similar period in the present century, with the exception of that of 1813-14, when it was one and a half degrees lower. March exhibited a lower mean than any similar month since 1797 ; and the mean of February was lower than that of any in the present century, being 33 deg. 12 min., or 8 deg. below the average. The mean temperature of December was 33 deg. 4 min., or nearly 7 deg. below the average. On Thursday night, between the hours of nine and ten, some persons passing along the Hackney-road discovered that a fire was raging in one of the rooms on the first fleor front of the Refuge for the Female Destitute. The neces sary alarm having been given, the matron hastened to the room, when she found the bed and furniture in a general blaze. Without loss of time the whole of the inmates, to the number of nearly eighty, were aroused, it being feared at one period that the fire would extend throughout the spacious range of premises; but, owing to the exertions of the residents, they succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the establishment wherein they originated, and the services of the engines were not required. The damage is exclusively confined to the destruction of the bed and furniture. A few days ago an English vessel from China went ashore near Etaples (Pas de Calais). The crew, consisting of 17 persons, were saved, and hopes were entertained that this would be the case also with the vessel and cargo, which were estimated at nearly 100,000/. ; but it appears, by an account of some of the journals, that they have been wholly lost. A great number of vessels cleared from the port of New castle, on Tuesday last, for Quebec, it being the first day of the season on which vessels of the United Kingdom can, in accordance with their insurance policies, sail for America. On the following day a still greater number took their de parture, the wind blowing briskly from the west. Very extensive and long-required improvements are about being made at the Guildhall police-court, during which time the examination of prisoners will be heard in one of the chambers in the hall.

RAILWAY COLLlSTON.—Yesterday morning, while the Ayr mineral train for Paisley was leaving off coal wag gons at the King-street depot, a goods train from Ayrshire came up; the engine driver of which not paying attention to the regular signal given at the station, his engine came in contact with tine waggons in the rear of the coal train. The consequence was, that three of these waggons, as also the luggage train engine, received slight injury,.but little or no interruption was experienced by the passenger trains.— ' Grolow Arra of Timidly.
