KEW, SATURDAY EVIiNING. - In no part of the United Kingdom could the lets Duke of Cambridge have been more esteemed than in the village of Kew —the home of his boyhood, and his usual abode f o r the lest fourteen t - eers. Here he not only ennuelly clothed some thirty or forty boys attached to the Queen's free school, and about es many girls, but in variably gave them an enieetainmeht cn ( very return of his natal day. To the victims of misfortune he was ever ready to lend his help ; and who can wonder, therefore, that Kew and Richmond now exhibit a mournful silence. In both places the gentry, trades people, and the poor have vied with each other in shooing how much they respected their late bene factor. On Wednesday last a meeting of the inhabi tants took place at the vestry, when the Rev. E. Burgh Byam was unanimously called to the chair, and a resolution was passed that an address deeply de ploring the death of the Duke of Cambridge, should be presented to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. A communication havi g been made to the late duke's private chaplain as to the intention of the inhabitants, a reply was sent, signifying that her Royal Highness would be pleased to receive the address, in the form or a letter, after the funeral. Last evening the mournful preparations for the funeral were completed, under the superintendence of Sir William Martin. The vault is not a new structure, having been erected at the time the existing church at Kew was built. It is directly across the entrance to the sacred edifice, and has not the slightest decoration of any kind. It is intended, however, that this shall • only be a temporary tomb, and that a handsome mau soleum shall be erected on a piece ef ground contigu ous to the church, which hes been purchased, but not yet consecrated. An appropriate tablet and inscrip tion will be fixed upon the wall opposite the vault. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, and his Serene Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenhurgh will be the chief mourners at the funeral, which will take place at ten o'clock on Tues day mornine next. Upon the mournful procession reaching hew-bridge, the labourers of Kew, the tradesmen of that village and Richmond, and the no bility and gentry will meet it, and follow the escort to Cambridge Cottage. Here the coffin will be taken out of the hearse, and carried into the church by twelve non•con-nnissioned officers of the Coldstream Guards, of which regiment the late Duke was colonel. We have been informed, upon good authority, that his Royal Highness's illness arose from a severe cold caught on the 7.h ult., when the Bishop of Man chester preached a sermon at Kew Church on behalf of the school. It appears that after Divine service, the Duke, who appeared in excellent health, took the Bishop of Manchester to the palm-house in Kew Garden?, to see the magnificent water lily called the - Vicioria:Regina, then in a most flourishing state. The temperature maintained in the building was 92 degrees, and the weather at the same time being remarkably warm, his Royal Highness became greatly heated. After this he lunched at the vicar's house with the Bishop, and imprudently sat in a draught, although reminded of the fact by his host. In the afternoon the Duke of Cambridge visited Mortlake Church, which is considered to ha very badly ventilated. He then returned to Cambridge-house, Piccadilly, and there for the first time complained of chilliness. Not withstanding this, the Duke went to the House of Lords in the afternoon of Monday, where he set out the debate until two in the morning, end it is con ceived that these circumstances combined induced the fatal illness from which his Royal Highness died.

THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL On Wednesday morning the deputation appointed at a large and most respectable meeting of the inha bitan!s (,f T:anworth end the neighbourhood on the 5W in:t. proceeded to D,-aton manor for the pur pose of presentirg to Sir ii,ulKrt Peel an address of condolence. Tip, depWation, consisting of Mr. John Butler, mayor of Tamworth ; the Rev. E. Harstou, vicar ; Sr C. M. Clarke, Mr. S. Hanson, ex mayor; Mr. P. Wiilington, Mr. J. Hall, Mr. T. Braman, and Mr. W. Parsons, magistrates; and Mr. R. Neville, arrived at Drayton about ten o'clock, and were received by Sir Robert Peel, Mr. F. Peel, M P., Lord Villiers, and Mr. Lawrence Peel. The MAYOR having stated the object of their visit, called upon the vicar to read the following ad dress : " TO SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART. " Sir,—We beg to address you with feelings of sincere respect and sympathy. " The affliction with which it has pleased Almighty God to visit you is so overwhelming that we are at a loss to express our sense of it. We shrink from intru ding upon privat,3 sorrow, and yet we experience some relief to our elves in assuring you of our profound sympathy with Lady Peel, 3'ourich; and all the Elem. berg of 3 our affl:cted family. "It is beyond our power to estimate the loss to Tam. worth and the neighbourhood occasioned by this mos mournful event. Rot only do we bear our full share in the calamity which has befallen the nation in the removal of a most exalted statesman from the councils of our beloved Monarch—not only do we mingle our grief with science, literature, and art, over the grave of their most generous patron, but there M added to our share in the common deprivation the loss of a represen t tive in the ::'enate, whose cure for our interests was only equAled by his diligence in his Parliamentary duties ; and to this we must add the still greater loss of one from among us whom long-tried experience had taught us all, both rich and poor, to love and respect in the closer relations k f neighbour and friend. "In so great a trial as that which has now befallen you, we know that human consolation must be unavail ing, hut we venture to offer you this tribute of our re peet ful sympathy, both as a means of evincing our hearty attachment to yourself and your family, and as some alleviation of our common sorrow. _ _ _ " Above all, we heartily pray that He who ht.th dealt the blow may administer the balm, and enable you to de rive comfort from la fleeting upon the honourable and patriotic public career and the private worth and distin guishing excellences which won general respect and admiration for your illustrious parent. " Signed on behalf of a public meeting of the inhabi tants of the borough of Tamworth and the neigh b.;urhood, this sth day of July, 1850. "JOHN BUTLER, Mayor e.f Tamworth." To this address Sir Robert Peel replied as fol lows " Gentlemen,—Bowed down under the heavy ufiliction with which it pleased Almighty God to visit so sud denly my family and myself, we gratefully acknowledge all expressions of sympathy, especially when so feelingly coupled, as in the present instance, with assuraoces of respect and admiration fer the memory of that great and good man, our father; and while such expressionp, almost universal throughout the country, cannot alleviate the mental aufferings of our dear mother and ourselves, they tend at least to animate us with a consciousness that his services have met with that appreciation from his fellaw-countrymen which it was his pride to aspire to. "In truth, gentlamen, in the father we lament you have lost not only a z aloes representative in the House of Commons, but a friend and neighbour; for while it was his delight, when relaxation from Parliamentary duties afforded him the opportunity, to cultivate the so ciety- and frit ndsbip of those whose acquaintance and esocm—tilroost, indeed, from childhood, it had been his good fortune to enjoy, he had ever at heart what be ap prehended wou:d most contribute to the prosperity of Tam worth and the neighburhood, and to the interests ethic!: in Parliament had so long been confided to his charge, "In my own nano, oentleinen, and in that of my fa mily, I bstg to thank Sou matt sincerely for the sery kind cxpie,sioes made use of in this address of condo le-tea which you now present me on behalf of a meeting of the inhabitants of Tamworth and the neighbourhood; and I pray you to convey my earnest acknowledgments to those whom you here represent, assuring you that, with the same desire to continuo those friendly rilations which so long existed between yourselves, gentlemen, and my late father, it will ever be my constant endea vour to render myself in public estimation nut un• worthy of his great name." The following address of condolence from the Town Council of Huli wes forwarded on Saturday to Mr. F. Peel, M.P., by the Right Hon. M. T. Baihe3, M.P. for that borough:— " At a special meeting of the Town Council of the Borough of Kingston-upon-Hull, July 11, 1850 : Rcbolted,—That this Council, representing the opi nions of ail classes of the inhabitants of Hull, desires to express its dei-p sorrow for the loss which the British empire has sustained by the sudden death of that emineat statesman the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, who for the long period t,f forty years devoted his great talents, his hign persuasive eloquence, his untiring industry, and his woneei fal administrative capacity, to the advane e:new, of the prosperity of his native country in the House of Commons. " That, as a tribute of respect to the memory of the deceased statesman, and of sympathy for the inestimable loss which has been sustained by the family of oue not less distinguished for the purity of his private than for the patriotism of his public life, this council begs to be allowed to convey to Lady Peel, and to the other mem bers of the deceased Right Honourable Baronet's fa mily, this most sincere expression of the general sorrow with which the Town Council and the whole people of Hull have received the intelligence of a bereavement in which (reverently submitting to the wisdom and power of God) they recognise a great and irreparable loss to this country and to the civilized world." (Signed) " THOMAS THOMPSON, Town Clerk." THE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF SIR R. FEEL. Last week it was our painful duty to describe the injuries received by the late universally lamented Sir Robert Peel at the time of his fatal accident, as far as they were ascertained by his professional attendants. After reading the authentic statement which we were enabled to publish, there could be but one opinion as to the extraordinary and unusual nature of those in juries. We believe that the lesions caused by the accident present a case in surgery without a precedent. Dissatisfaction has been expressed in some quarters because a decisive examination of the patient was not insisted upon within a few hours after the accident, so that the extent of the injuries might have been ascertained. Remarks, too, have been Made respect ing the slight amount of medical and surgical treat ment resorted to by his medical advisers. * These observations could only be made from misapprehen sion respecting the powers of endurance, and the constitutional peculiarities of the great statesman whose loss is so profoundly deplored. We believe his two principal attendants— Sir Benjamin Brodie an .l Mr. Hodgson, than whom the world could not produce more able and judicious surgeons—enter tained from the first but little hopes of his recovery. Their apprehensions were based on a long and inti mate knowledge of the physical organization and ner vous temperament of the patient. Mr. Hodgson, we know, had attended Sir Robert Peel, at Tamworth, for upwards of thirty years, and Sir Benjamin Brodie had also enjoyed a long professional intercourse with him. It will be remembered that after the fatal acci dent Sir Robert Peel fainted several times before he reached his hcu e in Whitehall-gardens, and again upon his seeing Lady Peel. His estcessive sensibility to pain had always been most romarkable. Like Cicero, Demosthenes, and other renowned orators, his nervous system was so finely and delicately wrought as to render him singularly impati ant and sensitive under suffering. It is probable that a more striking example of this physical and mental peculiarity was never witnessed: Oaly three weeks before his death, he was visiting the Zoological Gardens in the Regent's perk, with one of his daughters, when a small monkey jumped suddenly upon his hand; he im mediately fainted, and remained much affected by the incident during two or three hours. On another occasion his thumb was injured by being squeezed through the shutting of a door, and the pain, though not more than is oc mmon in such cases, caused him to faint several times in succession. With such a condition of the nervosis and systems, we need not wonder that serious results should have been apprehended on the late unfortunide occasion. It is not surprising that Sir Robert Peel should have been unable to bear the ordinary bandages, or that a minute manipulation of the injured parts was not thought advisable. The question is suggested, whether the result would have been diffe rent if the sufferer had been treated like an ordinary patient in a public hospital ? But to this a second question may be added. If a thorough surgical ex amination had been insisted upon, it is quite possible, nay, even probable, that Sir Robert Peel might have died under the operation ; or, if he bad not died, that the gravest complications might have arisen from the suffering and distress caused by the- necessary mani pulations. Of these dangers Sir Benjamin Brodie and Mr. Hodgson must have been thoroughly con scious, and we are inclined to give of tr full and entire concurrence to the judicious caution. they observed. With one of the most valuable lives 'in the kingdom under their hands, they were not justeified in incurring such additional risk and danger. It would have been and held as aare sure, di sgrace. utopotnhe due e ofe c s o s n io s rat through ion, a l t time suo h ; would be th e op i n i on o f all surgeons lilie .ofjudgment, and experience. —Lancet. 7.7"-Z w ECCLESIASTICAL APPOINTMENTS —The Rey.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE suir: SlB,—Will you permit one ho his made a long srijourn in Spain, whether in a private czipacity, or as correspondent of a morning journal in London, to say a f,-;w words in reference to an article %hid) op pear€4l some time since in The Sun, the veracity of which is questioned by thut most slav:sh ant; vitopu mtive of all bureaucratic prints, the modest Remick, of Madrid. It is not a little droll that the journal which gives the lie with a pomposity so tru!y characteristic of the Spanish Home-office to the statement of The Sun in reference to the brusquerie of the Dac de Vs.- lenci3, and which vouches its stainless honour for the "courtesy and urbanity" ("la cortesia y de urbani dad !") of the rough soldier of Ardoz is Xa.T' ' EEOXY / 7, the most lying of all the journals pub lished at Madrid ; that, moreover, it is the property of Senor SartoriouP, the Minister for Home Affairs, the most pliant and obsequious tool of the Spanish dictator ! It will be recollected that the immaculate organ of General Narvaez was, during the regime of M. Guizot, the paid Gazette of the French Cabinet, and the Moniteur where the voices of M. de Bresson and the Due de Glucksberg spoke daily. Still more recently, it fanned the flsmes of discontent between the Spanish and British Go vernments, and fed the French press with falsehoods, in its mendacious persecution of Sir Henry Bulwer. So much for the " honour and urbanity" of the Herald° ! The statement that appeared in The Sun is substantially correct ; and the brusque chieftain, who has introduced into the bureau and the salon the manners of the drill-room, may thank his stars that he growled his rudeness in a speech which is un known to the Envoy of the United Sates. How different from the insolent maniere and fierte of the former exile and detrnu of Gibraltar, and of his mean valet, M. de Sartorius, the puissant champion of the Heraldo, are the bon hommie and the graceful courtesy of Don Francisco Xaxier de Isturiz, the Ambassador of Spain in this country, in his intercourse with diplomatists and litterateurs, whether native or foreign. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, HENRI GERALD SPILLAN. 19, Cecil. street, Strand, July 13, 1850. [We consider the article in the Herald() as an official retractation and apology on the part of Nar vaez, made in consequence of the demand of the American Minister. Fortunately for that Minister there are not to be found in the United Stat s any royal refugees who abuse the hospitality of the country by intriguing against her Government ; neither has she in her Senate, or her Congress, any "dear and excellent person" willing to sacrifice the honour of Lis country to obtain the smiles of a despot, or to gratify a personal pique. Narvai:z knew this, and, therefore, did nut attempt to Bulwerise the American Minister, but made the apology demanded. Had America possessed an Aberdeen or a Stanley, the article in the Heraldo would not have appeared.—ED. Sun.] CRICKET. I ZINGARI v. BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Car ter, coroner for Surrey, held an invest at the Duke of Gloucester public-house, Union-row, New Kent-road, on the body of a poor bonnet-maker, named Susan Ansel!, aged 59 years, who, it was alleged, had died from starvation. The evidence adduced went to prove that the deceased had suf fered great privations from her incapability of earning a sufficiency to get a pr.•per quantity of food for her support. She had been known to go without victuals for days to gether, and then would beg of some of the neighbours. She had been aivised to apply to the Newington workhouse for relief, but informed the witness that "she would rather die in a ditch." Au order was obtained for the assistance of the parish surgeon, who came and prescribed for the de ceased, whom he described as dying from disease of the heart and lungs, no doubt brought on by the want of proper nourishing food. She died on the morning of Thursday from exhaustion. The jury returned the following verdict— " Died from disease of the heart and lungs, accelerated by the want of proper nourishing food." The Mayor of Southampton has invited the Lord Mayor of London to a grand banquet, in return for his Lord ship's hospitable entertainment a few weeks ago at the Man sion-house to encourage the great Industrial Exhibition.

STRIKE AMONG THE HACKNEY COACH PROPRIE TORS AT EDINBURGII—The strike among the hackney coach proprietors still constinues, and to the great incon venience of the public all the cab stands, except one, re main deserted. An attempt was made on Thursday, by a deputation of the coach proprietors, to induce the ma giatrates to rescind their resolution, and to accept a plan based cn that previously in operation, but with a 61 fare for distances not exceeding half a mile. The magistrates refused to acquiesce in this proposition, and insisted on a trial being made of the uniform scheme. The co.. ference conse quently ended in nothing whatever being done. ImmEnsios.—On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Williams, of Cornbourne, Goudhurst, had come from thence to Yalding, to witness the ceremony of immersion performed by Mr. Pryer, farmer, of this place, who is a Latter-day Sin; t, or Plymouth Brother. The company were preparing to start for the river in Northwood, where the business was to be transacted, and a Mr. Slade, of Goudhurst, was the person who was to Le immersed; but the ceremony was p evented by a most serious accident. Mr. and Mrs. Williams had concluded to ride down to the river, and had just got into a cart for that purpose when the horse ran back into a very deep pond in Mr. Pryer's yar.l, and horse, cart, - and Mr. and Mrs. Williams, were quickly ut of sight, and under the water. The persons present, with great presence of mind, threw into the pond a sheep-gate, and Mrs. Williams came up first and caught hold of it, and then grasped her husband by one arm, the party dragging the sheep-gate toward, the yard, and Mrs. Wi!liams and her husband, and thus both were saved from their perilous situation. The horse was drowned and the cart broken to pieces. - Rochester Gazette.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. At the laie anniversary meeting of the Royal graphical S - ;ciety, the president, Capt. W. 1.1. Smyth, R.N., gave the following interesting summary of the measures, p•ist and present, which have been taken for the relief of S:r John F:l:nklin's expedition. He said: From Rtri , ,is we cannot but extend our glance towards the .Aretic Regions, under - feelings of the most painful embarrassment. There is still a hope glimmering through the gloomy uncertainty whizii hangs over tha fate of the enterprising Sir John Franklin and hi :gallant companions, although they have beer. Sr) years absent in those inhospitable seas.. I :the high excitement of the public mind, it may Den'cessary for me to state the present know ledge . ae possess of the case, and the actual means now in hand fur their deliverance. " The efforts of Sir James Ross, though limited by adverse circumstances to a much smaller portion of the Arctic seas than was expected, yet prove that the miss ing expedition must have succeeded in attaining a westerly longitude but little short of Melville Island, if they are safe. For, as Sir James was stationed for several months at the junction of the four great channels—Barrow Strait, Lancaster Sound, Regent Inlet, and Wellington Channel—it is extremely im probable that Sir John Franklin's ships can have been near the opening to those straits, without ef fecting a communication with those who anxiously sought him. The dispatches recently received from Commander Pullen, who has achieved the adven turous voyage from Wainwright Inlet to the Mac kenzie, in open boats, inform us that no traces of the expedition were met with on the American coast between those two places, nor had the Esquimaux, with whom our people communicated, seen anythieg of ships of war. • " A dispatch from Dr. Rae, which accompanies that from Commander Pullen, is equally barren of intelligence. Dr. Rae, as you may remember, was ordered to proceed from his winter quarters at Fort Confidence, on Great Bear Lake, to Cape Krusenstern, and crossing from thence to Wollaston Land, he was instructed to penetrate to the north-east of Banks's Land. He accomplished the journey to Cape Kru senstern; but all his attempts—and they were nume rous and daring—to effect the traverse to Wollaston Land, were baffled by the heavy pack of ice which entirely barred the progress of his boat. Having waited in hopes of a change as long as he could, taking into consideration the imperative necessity of returning before the closing up of the Coppermine river, he was reluctantly compelled to abandon the enter prise. During his sojourn at Cape Krusenstern, the Esquimaux interpreter who accompanied him fell in with several parties of naives, who all agreed in de claring that they had not seen any white men. We may, therefore, take it for granted that none of Sir J. Franklin's party have struck the North American coast, because the entire extent between Cspe Kru senstern and Behring's Strait has been diligently examined by the strenuous and enduring exertions of Sir John Richardson, Commander Pullen, and Dr. Rae. Although the Behring'a Strait expedition, con sisting of her Majesty's ships Herald and Plover, Captain Kellett and Commander Moore, procured no tidings of the missing, yet the details of their endea vours are highly interesting. On the 15th of lest August, the Herald had attained the latitude of 71.12 N., and long. 170.10 W. ; and on the 16th discovered an almost inaccessible island of granite, rising 1,400 feet above the sea, beyond which a range of high land was seen. It becomes a nervous thing,' says Captain Kellett, 'to report a discovery of land in thee regions without actually landing o❑ it, after the unfortunate mistake to the southward ; but, as far es a man can be certain who has 130 pair of eyes to assist him, and all agreeing, I am certain we have discovered an ext.( nsive land.' They contrived, though with great difficulty, to get upon the island, hoist the union jack, and take posset•sion of it in her Ma jesty's name; but constant snow storms compelled thc m to quit the neighbourhood, and insure (leering the ice pack. Now, it w ill be recollected that Sergean► Andreyev, the active Russian who conducted an ex pedition of discovery in the Icy Sea, in 1762, affirmed that he had reached a country callea Tikigen, having a coast- line trending nearly pa rallel to that of Northern Siberia, and inhabited by a race named Kraihai. This account was held tc be apocryphal by mot geographers, and imputed to an optical delusion by 13aron von Wrangel; yet the narrative of Captain Kellett goes to corroborate Andreyev's statement. Even the high land de scribed by Von Wrangel himself from Lilian, may, it is not too much to say, have formed some portion of the disputed region : and besides the discoveries of Captain Kellett, 'elevated peaks, which may resonably be conluded to be a part of the same land, were observed by Commander Mcore, whose track lay further eastward than that of the Herald. Now, putting these circumstances in con junction, it is far from improbable that a continuous coast-line may extend from the vicinity ofNew Siberia in the west, to the vicinity of Bank's Land in the east. In the event of such an hypothesis proving cor rect, it will be obvious that, should Franklin have succeeded in penetrating through, and to the west of Wellington Channel, the interpcsition of this tract would preclude all possibility of his bringing his ships again so far south as to reach Behring's Strait, unless the course were greatly prolonged westwards or the Wellington Channel were again traversed. I may here remark how cautious, as well as delicate, closet inquiry ought to be in meddling with the di rect assertions of explorers : indeed, the signal in stance of Baffin's Bay having been formally expunged from our charts, and branded as wholly suppositi tious,' ought not to be forgotten by imaginative theorists. " The negative information hitherto obtained renders it the more probable that our unfortunate countrymen—if still in being —are frozen up in the neighbourhood of Melville Island ; and a hope is thereby warranted, that one of the numerous expedi• tions sent out this year may succeed in succour ing them. Two have already sailed to Lancaster Sound, under the orders of Captain Horatio Austin, and Captain Penny, who lately commanded the Advice whal. r. The Exertions of the former will be mainly directed to penetra'e to Cape Walker and Melville Island; while the latter will proceed direet to the entrance of Jones's Sound, up which he will sail and explore it as far as possible. These expeditions are Equipped in the most complete manner; and that of Captain Austin is provided with highly ef fective auxiliary steam-power. In fact, I was sa- tisfied on visiting the Resolute before her departure, in company with Sir George Beck, who has had such full experience in the Polar Seas, that human inge nuity was never more fully displayed than in the strengthening, stowage, and equipment of this ship. , "Under the patronage of the Hudson's Bay Com pany, aided by a public subscription, a small expedi tien, headed by the veteran Sir John Ross, will pro ceed in the same direction as that of Captain Austin ; and as none of these plans provide for the search of Regent's Inlet, exertions are nuking to organize a private outfit, to be conducted by Commander For syth, for this special purpose. These expeditions, numbering eight ships, exclusive of the North Star— already there, will effectually explore the channels and passages east of Melville blend : ar.d it is to be hoped that the Behring's Straits exploration with the other ships under Captain Collinson will arrive at its destination sufficiently early this year, to reach a large portion of the sea between those straits and Melville Island, before the winter sets in again. " Such, briefly, are the measures adopted to save cur hapless countrymen; and it were ungr.tutbl not to men tion the warm f,eling of the Am , limn Government in the same cause—a feeling for which I had the honour tot xpress your thanks to their President. Individual sympathy and munificence have also been strongly awi.kenel in that country; and even now two ships, the Advance and the It-scue, are being fitted out for the Polar Seas at the expense of Mr, Henry Grinnell, of New Yolk, which, conducted by officers of the United States navy, will brave every danger for that Lenevolent purpose. The British nation has a right to (spent that the Government of this great mari time country will do all in its power to carry succour to those so especially r(quirius , it; and nobly bas it met that expectation, as well i n th e ou tfi t o f ex peditions, as in proclaiming a munificent reward for those who find sail relieve the sufferers. What ever may be the result of these measures, as well as of the admirabl e an d exemplary efforts cf Lady Franklin— with whom every heart must sympathise—one useful moral will be elieitrd ; it will be shown, that when Englishmen are ready and willing to hazard their lives for their country's honour, they will not be neglected in the hour of peril." NGTTINGIIA,II TRADF.—Lace—Houses engaged in finishing goods for the London trade are very flat, and will now probably remain so until the autumnal change of fashion takes place. The export trade also, both to America and Germany, is very languid. Germans could purchase more goods it they could obtain the rchnive advance on goods that we require, in consequence of the increased price of the ma terial used, lut which they complain they cannot. Silk is again a little higher, as is also cotson, with a prospect of a further advance, especially on all numbers up to 120. Ilosiery—The demand for fashioned hose continues pretty fair, as well as for the better sort of cut-ups. Cloves of most descriptions re not in such active demand as they have been. A new kind ef glove is about to be made from cotton, of a description that excels in point of comfort any we have yet seen; the inside has a raised nap, which, to the feel, is quite as comfortable as that of wool, while the outward ap pearance has that of a beautifully fine thread. Cotton yarn is still advancing in vice, and will doubtless be still higher. —NottinghamJournal. - . _ MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Wed nesday evening last as Mr. James M'Queen, inspector of the poor for the parish of St. Quivox, was proceeding on horseback with a friend to Monkton, when just on reaching the village Mr. M Queen was observed to fall suddenly and heavily to the ground. external injury was apparent, and the unfortunate gentleman was able to walk home, when, having been in bed If next day, he turned towards the evening of Thursday rapii.ly worse, and lingered until Monday evening about half-past. six, when he expired.

The Select Committee appointed to consider and suggest insane of removing obstacles and giving faci li ins to safe investments fur the savings of the middle and working classes, and who were ern powered to report the minutes of evidence taken before them, have investigated carefully the subject referred to them, have received evidence, and agre:el to the following report : Your Committee think the importance of removing obstructions to the secure investment of their savings to the middle and woi king classes can scarcely be overstated, because this is a consideration upon which the industry, enterprise, and forethought of the classes in question greatly depend. Your Committee have proceeded to examine exist ing obstacles to such investments, and to consider how far it may be practicable to remove them, and in what manner this may be accomplished. Investments in land or landed securities your Com mittee have much reason to believe are much desired by the middle and working classes ; but the uncer tainty and complexity of titles and the length and ex pense of conveyance, together with the costs of stamps place this species of investment generally beyond the reach of those parties. Mortgages on land are liable to the same sort of difficulties and often also prove in secure investments. Your Committee think that the greatest benefit would be conferred both upon the owners of land and upon the smaller capitalists desirous of purchasing land in small portions, or of lending money in small amounts upon landed securities, by the simplification of titles and the shortening of conveyances ; but as the evils in the present law of real property are under the consideration of Commissioners appointed by her Majesty for that purpopse, and as a measure for di minishing the duties on stamps for small conveyances and mortgages is now before the House, they do not think it necessary to enter into further detail upon this subject. The Crown is empowered by Act of Parliament, in certain cases, by charter, to limit the liability of partners. This power, however, has seldom been ex ercised, does not seem guided by any clear rule, and involves expense greater even than that of obtaining an Act of Parliament. Your Committee has in:evi dence, that the benevolent propjectors of a useful un dertaking (the Metropolitan Model Lodging Houses for Workmen) obtained a charter from the Crown, which put them to great delay, and cost them op. wards of 1,0001. In like manner many enterprises for similar objects are stated to have been prevented by the trouble and expense of such a charter. Your Committee suggest, therefore, that such charters should be granted with the greatest caution, but at a far more reasonable cost. Another subject of complaint before your Com mittee has been the law of partnership, that plac a obstacles in the way of any body of workmen who de sire to combine their money and labour in industrial undertakings. In some cases several industrious men work to gether under regulations of their own with a small capital ; they are directed by managers whom they choose, the goods produced are sold for their com mon benefit, and the profits are divided among the ontributors of capital and labour, in certain proper - ons agreed to. At present the law affords no effectual remedy against the fraud of any one dishonest contributor or partner; and no summary mode of enforcing the rules agreed to for mutual government. Your Committee are of opinion that the difficulties nhich affect the law of partnership operate with in el-eased severity in proportion to the smallness of the , um subscribed and the number of persons included to the association. They think that any measure for he removal of these difficulties would be peculiarly acceptable to the middle and working classes, and would tend to satisfy them that they are not excluded 'rem fair competition by laws throwing obstacles in the H ay of men with small capitals. Your Committee are of opinion that in ordinary ••ises individual energy and larger capital will prevail ig,rinst the necessarily inferior advantages which " h,se associations must possess ; but this is a consi deration which the parties desirous to associate are justified in deciding for themselves. And the Com mittee do not doubt that ultimate benefit will ensue er om any measures which the Legislature may be enabled to devise fur simplifying the operation of the law and unfettering the energies of trade. In concluding the report which is now submitted '0 the House, your Committee cannot but express their strong opinion of the pressing necessity of the subject now referred to them being speedily attended to by the Legislature. The rapid increase in population and in wealth of the middle and industrious classes within the last half zentury, renders this of great consequence. The great change in the social position of multi tudes, from the growth of large towns and crowded districts, renders it more necessary that corresponding changes in the law should take place, both to im prove their condition and contentment, and to give additional facilities to investments of capital which their industry and enterprise are constantly increasing and augmenting. It is the conviction of your Committee that if such measures were carried into effect a stimulus would be given to the industry of the country, likely to cause additional employment and contentment, with out itljury to any class, and with added security to the welfare of all. ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.--This morning the quarterly general court of this institution, esta blished for the support of the widows and orphans of naval officers in indigent circumstances, was held in the ball-room of the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street, St. James's. The president, Lord Radstock, occupied the chair. The secretary, Commander Dickson, proceeded to lay before the board the quarterly report, from which it appeared that the receipts during the quarter amounted to 1,715/. 13s. 9d., and the disbursements to 513/. 12e., leaving a balance in the hands of the treasurer of 1,20:1.10s. The total amount of stock now belonging to the society is upwards of 34,94Q1. The report was agreed to, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the Noble Chain= the meeting svarated. • ANTI. SUNDAY POSTAGE RESTRICTION ASSOCIA'• TION.—We are informed that an association is about to bi formed for the purpose of taking the necessary steps to or ganize a great national movement for the purpose of effec tually eliciting and supporting the opinion of the public, so unequivocally expressed at var►ous public meetings, against the recent interference with the delivery of letters and news papers in the country on Sunday, and with the view of ob taining the rescinding of the recent postal regulation. It is intended, we believe, to invite the co-operation. advice, and assistance of all classes, and if necessary immediately to hold public meetings at some of the London theatres,'and to or ganize meetings in all the large towns. A CLASS OT LETTERS TO BE DELIVERED ON SUN.. DAYS —The following rot ice has been issued:—"By com mand of the Postmester-General.—To all postmasters, sub pcstmasters, and letter receivers.—General Post-office, July, lEso.—With ri.ference to instructions No. 21, 1850, relative to the discontinuance of the collection and delivery of letters on Sunday, it niu-t be clearly understood that the regulations therein laid down do not apply to the letters addressed to Cabinet Ministers or to the officers of Government mentioned in sec. 18, part 16, of the book of general instructions to post masters. These letters must still be forwarded on Sunday by the ordinary dispatch." THE EFFECTS OF SABBATABIANISM.—The suffering that has been caused to private individuals—the trouble and pain that has been infl►cted upon families—by the cessation of Sunday deliveries is be3ond comprehension. From every quarter are the complaints of the sfiiicted heard. So that the measure is as harsh as it is mistaken. In a moral sense also has injury been begotten. The great aim of the Sali batarians was to prevent the reading of Sunday newspapers on the Sunday. They hoped that newspaper proprietors would cease to satisfy the public appetite for the latest hews, and would publish on Friday. The proprietors have found that to do so is to ensure the destruction of their property. The Papers must have the latest inrormation, and must ba delivered at a tirre when the great mass can afford to read— on the Sunday. The extra expense of delivering has either stopped the sale of the paper altogether, or has forced men into the public-hcuse. The tap=room has been exchanged for the domestic hearth, and family reading given place to the immorality and temptations of the beer-shop. Welshman. IRON MASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETINGS —DUD.. LEY, SATURDAY.--The concluding quarterly meeting of iron masters was held, as usual, in this town to-day. Prices were declared firm at about the following rates :—Bar iron, 61. per ton ; rod and sheet, 8/. ; pig, from about 2/. 15s. to 8/. 10s., the last being best grey forge. Looking at the present condition of the iron districts, and the tone expressed at the late meetings, there does not appear any probability of an immediate reduction. It is stated that within the last three weeks or month not fewer than twenty furnaces have been blown out in South Staffordshire and East Worcester shire, the weekly make of which could not be less than 2,000 tons. This immense decrease of the manufacfure can not fail to produce an effect upon prices, although the opera tives must for the present feel the restriction of their labour. The masters are unwilling to propose a reduction of wages, and it is only by . a considerable reduction of stock that they can maintain their present position. It is remarkable that in Birmingham, intimately as the manufactures of the town are connected with that of the iron districts, trade is improving. The manner in which the quarterly accounts were settled is one proof amongst many others of this gratifying fact, apd recent advices lead to the belief that the next American mails will bring in additional important orders from that country.
