The sales comprised 4,500 bales of American at to 9J.; Peruvian and Marin ham at 61, i. to 7 ; 0; and 300 Surats at 4 id. to s'. per lb. —la R.ntway Shares a fair business was done, with but little variation in prices. There has beeu a firmer market far grain this morn ing, and the supplies have fallen ofv. The Coetinental mails have not generally reached in due course, but vse have accoutas from Amsterdam which give the quotation of Dutch Two.and• a-Half per Ceet at 551 to 11-16, of Peruvian at 82, and of Greek at b to 91. Atte mime may be u:-..efully called to a letter addressed by the French Minister of Commerce to the Chambers of Commerce, upon the trade that might be strum . felly prosecuted with the Celebes, and it is asserted Cate Holland and France have a better cbanco in this respect than any other country. At present these islands are inadequately supplied, and certain articles would sell well. Alsace fabrics, fire-arms of a peculiar make, and varying to suit the very different taste of the natives, white and red cotton marked No. 40, and an assortment of silks in handkerchiefs, &c., with a little wire and brandy, and some fancy articles, could be sent advantageously to an extent that would freight three or four ships, and their disposal would be t asy, provided good faith were observed in the description of the merchandise, since the local merchants are now in the habit of relying implicitly upon the factory marks. - The returns could be obtained in bills upon the Java Treasury, but coffee of fine quality, gold dust, tortoise shell, rice, cocoa-nut oil, &c., are to be had. 'The intelligence from Paris is still deemed unsatisfac tory by some parties, although the prices of the Rente continue to advance. The feature most disliked is the alleged spread of Socialism is the provinces, but a shrewd suspicion exists in some quarters that this is magnified by the journals in the in tereet of Louis Napoleon for the purpose of more firmly fixing him in power, and rallying to him the friends of order and established government. It is certain that, d•-spite the improvement in trade, compared with what was doing a few months since, there is not full employment for the capital available in France, and this is best shown, perhaps, by the accumulation of specie in the Bank vaults. The foreign commerce of the Re public, however, must he bringing employment to its artisans, and if confidence be not impaired, the home trade will benefit by the more liberal expenditure that has been commenced among the higher classes. The English Funds have been rather variable, but the approaching settlement of the account is the chief thing that now influences prices. Consols have been 953 to 95i for Transfer fur Tnursday, but with very little doing. The majority of the speculators, it is still asserted, are Bulls, but the belief in other quarters is, that there has re ' cently been a good deal of selling, which will greatly counterbalance the time purchases. Money is a little dearer, say 4 per cent. in the discount market, but a speedy adjustment of the Greek dispute, and a continued improvement in the revenue here, would go far to restore that confidence which was so strong be fore the Russian loan was announced, a loan, by the bye, which indirectly supplies to the Autocrat the means of intriguing against us at Athens.

The supplies cf home-grown Wheat on offer in the leading country markets held on Saturday were bet model ate; nevertheless, the demand for most descrip tions was in a sluggish state. Fine panels were mostly disposed of at full prices; but the value of the middling and inferior kinds gale way is per quarter. In Spring Corn very little business was transacted, at barely pre vious rates. The prices of Grain in the Tear continental ports are relatively high. In the United States Flour is held at somewhat enhanced currencies. The navigation of the Baltic is still closed. Up to our m arket last week, coastwise, the arrivals of Grain were very small. Those from Ireland and Scotland were trifling in the extreme. From abroad we received only 593 quarters of Wheat, 2,800 of Barley, 3,406 of Beans, 47 of Linseed, 258 of lia[eseed, 450 of Indian Corn, and 1,9g9 sacks of Flour. The continuance of strong gales of vvind having pre vented the arrival of several ships laden with Grain, the receipts of English Wheut fresh up to this morning's market was very small, and its quality was by no means good, owing to the prevailing damp weat;aer. The Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands were unnsuailly bare of sam ples of both red and: white; and the demand] for all kinds ruled steady, at prices quite eqr.al to those ob tained on Monday last. Prior to the close of business a good clearance had bcen effected. Sew ,ral offers cans to hand from our various eastern shipping ports to forward Wheats at very low prices; but as there is every prospect of early and large import stions from the continent, scarcely any contracts were entered into. The show of fresh foreign. Wheat was trifling ; but the market was well supplied with granaried samples. Fine qualities sold to a fair extent, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds very few sales of magnitude took place, and late currencies remained unaltered. There was evidently more disposition on the part of the im porters to hold. For the time of yea r the supply of Barley, both English and foreign, was tolerably good. In grinding and distilling qualities rather more business was transacted, at full quotations. ti [tilting parcels were dull, but not cheaper. The quantity of Malt on offer, ready for delivery, was large. early all kinds met a very slow inquiry, and late , rates were with difficulty supported. Very few Oats were on offer from any quarter. On the whole, the Oat trade ruled firm, at full price.; The market was very moderately supplieti with Peas, the demand for which was in a sluggish sttite, at previous quotations. Very few English Beans were brought for ward; but the supply of Foreign was gooel. Most kinds moved off slowly, at late rate?. Indian. Corn and Meal were offering at reduced price?. There was rather more doing in Flour at last week's currencies. The nominal top price of the best town-made was 40s p er 2801bs. CLOSIN PRICE 88!,a 0241 , 1 O'CLOCK.

THE LATE C. E. HORN.—Some time since we re corded the death of Charles Edward Horn, ono of the moat popular musicians of his day. We are glad to t ee that on Tuesday next a conceit will be given at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the lelefit ( f the sisters of the deceased composer—MN. Sewell and Miss Horn. Mr. Horn is chiefly known to the general publio as hav ing written those very popular songs, " Cherry Ripe," " ire been rooming, " The deep, deep sec," and others of the same class; but his best known musical composi tions were of much higher pretensions, and would have secured him a respectable place among contemporary musicians had he not been otherwise celebrated. Our readers cannot have fergotteu that Mr. Horn was also a tenor singer ( f :no slight pretensions. Among the pieces to be performed on Tuesday is an oratorio (of [horn's composition), entitled .Daniel's Prediction. A number of distinguished vocalists have offered their Kr viceg, and we sincerely hope that the benevolent object of the promoters of this conceit will b e a t ta i ne d . I t i s almost en act of just . cc to raider a service of such very eav performance to the deprived survivors of one who in his time contributed so much to the enjoyment of the public. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY ll, lB5O first part in The Waterman; but they might do so as a matter of courtesy. [Here both his Lordship and the learned Counsel complained of the intense cold which was suddenly felt, occasioned, as it vas believed, by a blast of cold air having been thrown into the court by the party hav ing charge of its ventilation.] Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (adverting to the cold) said, The only thing we regret, my Lord, is that we have not the Reid here to be shaken by his own wind.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. Fenton resumed—Did not knew that Miss Hur land was a laly of considerable personal attractions; he left others to judge of that.—(Laughter.) William Stokes, the cell-boy at the theatre, proved that on the night in queztion, when Miss Harlard refused to play, he c'elivered a message from either Mr. Mal dox or Mr. Fenton to Mi.s Harland that the music was * taken out of the part of Wilhelmina, and that she consequently refused to appear in the part. Miss Julia Murray—l am an actress. I was at Sadler's Wells Theatre on the afternoon cf the 17th April last, and saw the plaintiff there. I had previously seen the name of Miss Harland in the bills of the Princess's Theatre that day to play Wilhelmina. Mr. Hoskins seemed very much astonished at that commu nication. Mr. Frederick Mellon—l am an actor. I saw Mr. Hoskins on the day Miss Harland was to play Wilhelmina at the Princess's, and accompanied him to his house, when Mr. Hoskins told his wife she was to appear in the part at the Princess's that night, the part of Wilhelmina. She was very much surprised, and then wroto a note to Mr. Maddox. Cross—c xamined—The plaintiff's wife is the daughter of Henry Wallack. She some years ago played Kitty in the farce of Shocking Events, at Sadler's Wells. Mr. HUMPHREY thought it a shocking eveLt that she should have done so—(Laughter)—but could not per ceive how that could affect the matter in issue. His LORDSHIP was of the same opinion. Mr. Richard Marsh—l am a performer. My theatrical name is Henry Marston. I call the Waterman a musical farce. I never knew the part of Wilhelmina in it played without music—l mean without Wilhelmina singing in the part. Cross-examined—Believed when a new song was sub stituted for an old one in a piece, such new song was previously submitted to the revision of the Lord Cham berlain. Had known the " Marseillaise" introduced into a piece without the Lord Chamberlain being consulted. Miss Halkett Rafter—l am a prima donna. I have never played Wilhelmina in the Waterman, but it has been played by many prima donnas. I never knew it played without the music; certainly by ne lady of posi tion. lam now prima donna at Drury-lane. Cross-examined—There was no grand opera played at Drury-lane at present. I have played in musical pieces at Drury. lane this season. I have played in Rob Roy three times this season, and the musical part in the Merchant of Venice. Guy Mannering has not been played at the theatre this season, but it has been in re hearsal, and I took the part of Diana Vernon. 3(The case was proceeding when our report left.) TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORNI ASSOCIATION. Sir,—O., Wednesday the Gth two votes connected with one and the same subject took place, which pos sess importance, and may usefully be explained. On a motion for a Select Committee to inquire into grievances in Ceylon, Mr. D'lsraeli moved an Amend ment by which the House should "express its disap. probation of the manner in which her Majesty's Government have evaded the understanding of last session" for the pr o d uc ti on o f w itnesses. Mr. Bright took the lead in stating, that the question had not been brought to a point where it was proper to ask for a vote of censure on the Government; and the Liberals in general followed him, leaving the Amend ment in a minority c f 68 against 140. Immediately afterwards, Mr. Hume proposed to add to the original question a summons to witnesses from Ceylon to attend the said Committee, and the motion was only lost by 100 against 109. A sufficiently significant warning that there is a feeling on the general subject which it is wisdom to attend to. On Thursday motion was made by Mr. M'Gregor for forming the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham ' and Hammersmith, int o a P ar li amen t ar y borough, to return two Members to Parliament, to fill up the vacancy caused by the disfranchisement of Sudbury. Nobody can tell whether the opposition to it was serious, or meant for a sportive imitation of a classical composition known under the title of the "Noodle's Oration." If Kensington, &c., why not Knightsbridge; and if Knightsbridge were admitted, why not Turnham Green ? And were the people of Kensington, &c., such as it was most desirable to ad mit into the representation ; were they of the caste of man, a hundred and twenty thousand of whom ought to be admitted to the same power in Parliament as three hundred in an agricultural borough ? Were they not notoriously men given to " pribbles and prabbles," much in the habit of discussing in parish meetings, and presenting anything but a guarantee for the preservation of " order " and good govern ment ? There is no answering such reasons but by falling back upon the general question. The time cannot be far off, when it will Le discovered that a man is a man, and as such has a right to be represented, with• out leaving to some mysterious tribunal to decide whether twenty Members of his sending shall count for one, or fifty, or ten. The question may, if chosen, be separated from that of the extension of the suffrage. Assume any criterion of suffrage that may be named; and the question is, whether after that, the representatives are to be classed by twenties, or fifties, or tens, to balance one of some favoured kind. In all this, who is to be Grand Regulator ? Perhaps we shall be told, it must be those who at present have the power. It may be so ; but this is only a reason why means should be used to make those who have the power, reform. On Friday Lord John Russell made his declaration on the intended colonial policy of the Government. If words are things, it is impossible that such a speech should not have weighty results ; for even if they were not intended to be true, no man could get out of such words and their consequences. It was not possible to hear such an address, without at all events a lively feeling of the distance to which we have got from the old days of cant and prejudice, when nations were governed by the tinkling cymbals . of party cries and national sillinesses. Not a word of British Supremacy, nor Colonial Dependency, nor the Anglo-Saxon race. " Mr. MAher-Country " must have been in despair, at hearing a discourse from a Minister so stripped of all he had held dear. It is not too much to believe, that we may have here the commencement or the marked advance of a system, ending in making this country the source and origin of free communities, which shall hold its name in re spect, though time and change should even obliterate the soil men called the father-land. The colonies are to have representative constitu tions, with limitations and deductions in some few instances, which it is difficult to quarrel with when there is such a great disengagement of good upon the whole. And they are, moreover, to have the power of altering their constitutions under certain rules, if the present do not work. One point which will be highly interesting to many within this country is, that it is to be constitutional law in all the colonies, that the aborigines are to be " True born Englishmen," as fast as they comply with cer tain provisions, the principal of which are understood to be, that they shall read and write English and have a house. The declaration of the Government on this subject, in reply to question asked, was made with clearness and good-will. There is some thing more magnificent in this than ordinarily illu mines the routine of public business. England stretches cut her hand, to be the guide to the less favoured portions of the human kind, without distinc tion of complexion, form, or race, in moving from the ills of barbarous to the blessings of civilized life, as herself was led when her tattooed and painted sons were taught to emulate the sciences and arts of Rome. It may be that more hangs by this than meets the eye. What if the struggle for and against the permission of Slavery, should within the life-time of our children be the turning-point of England's politi cal existence ? Are we not daily outraging the insti stutions of a strong and growing country, which knows no good but Slavery, and feels the " Slaves cannot breathe in England" a standing inva sion of its hearths and homes ? And have not the descendants of our negro-drivers promised, within the duration of existing lives, to have fifty thousand men drawn up behind the Horse Guards, and shift the flag at Windsor Castle ? Of course the first stipulation for peace would be, the legalisation of Slavery in England, :and particularly in Ireland, where the peasantry are getting ready for the latest born of modern philosophy the " beneficent whip." Greater things have grown out of less cause. In the meantime, go we on ; and God be with the right. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 11th Feb., 1850. "NO." (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) Would ye learn the bravest thing That man can ever do? Would 30 be an uncrowned king, Absolute and true? Would ye seek t) emulate All we learn in story, Of the moral, just, and great, Rich in real glor) ? Would ye lose much bitter care In your lot Lelow ? Bravely speak out when and where 'Tis right to utter "No." Learn to speak this little wcrd In its proper plcce— Let no timid doubt be heard, Clothed with sceptic grace. Let thy lips, without disguise, Boldly pour it out; Though a thousand dulcet lies Keep hovering about. For be suto our hearts would lose Future years cf . woe, If our courage could refuse The present hour with " No." When Temptation's form would leAd To some plc a ant wrong— When she tunes her hollow reed 'ru the syren's song— When she oilers bribe, and smile, And our conscience feels There is nought but shining guile In the gifs she deals, Then, oh! then, let courage rise To its strongest flow; Show that ye are brave as wise, And firmly answer "No." Ht arts that are too eften given, Like street merchandise— Hearts that like bought slaves are driven In fair freedom's guise.

The imports of Wool into London since Monday last have amounted to 60 bales fratxt.. the Cape ; 536 ditto from Sydney ; 8 ditto from Naples ; 100 bags from Buenos Ayres, and a few parcels-90 bales—from Ire land. Public sales have at length been announced to commence on the 18th inst. The quantity as yet dc clared is small, but several catalogues are expected to be issued this week. By private cuntract the demand is inactive. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. The supply of English Wool on offer is small. TALLOW..

DAGSHAWE V. MACNEIL.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, v‘ hich came before him upon apr ell from the decision of the Vice Chancellor Wigram. The ar guments were concluded on Saturday. The bill was tiled fJr the specific performance of a contract to dispose of the intercit e f certain parties In land, to be reclaimed from the sea, at Lough Swilly, in the north of Ireland. A reference was directel to the Master to inquire whe ther the vendors had a good title under the Act of Par liament which authorissd the undertaking. The Master held that there was not a good title, and the Vice-Chan cellor that there was. Tho Lord Chancellor held that there Ras a good title to the lands that had been drained, and directed the party to he put in possession of them, but ordered a further reference to the Master in other respects. PADEURY V. CLAIRE. The further arguments in this 'part-heard appeal were then resumed and occupied the Court the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls did not sit in his Court in the Rolls'-yard, Chancery-lane, to-day, in consequence of having to a:tend the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, His Lordship, it is understood, will not sit again in his Court for nearly a fortnight, with the ex ception of Saturday next and the Thursday following. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE- CIIANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) Causes sad motions cf no general interest occupied the Court the whole morning, (Before the Vice-Chancellor lirtaorrr BRUCE.) His Honour beard bankrupt petitions and causes to day, but no ease calling for a special report came before his Honour during the morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) His Honour sat to-day at eleven o'clock. BEECHING V. MORPHEN. His Horrona this morning gave judgment in this case in which the bill was filed for the recovery of a debt in curred many years ago. His Honour dismissed the bill with costs, on the ground that the debt was barred by tho operation of the statute of limitations. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Jus tice WIGHTMAN and a Common Jury.) HOSKINS V. AIADDOX. This was an action brought by Mr. William Hoskins, the husband of Mrs. Hoskins, formerly known as Miss Harland More her marriage, an actress at the Princess's Theatre, to ie.:over a certain amount of salary alleged to be due to his wife from Mr. Maddox, the lessee of the theatre, for theatrical services under an agreement made between the parties. Hundrey and Mr. Macaulay wore counsel for the plaintiff; and . the defendant was represented by Mr. Se l rg i c a a p n p t e W are il d la t n h s at an in d Mr. sep by her name th ti fr b s u iefseq,u September, from W em il ber m° 7 l . B4B, an agreement was made heteyeen , the plaintiff and the defendant, under which ll o arl l a B n 4 d B , was . engaged `` as prima d onna to play in all musical teces, n h o e t p b la e l i n n p g e of M autu is m s n f during the then tot thcoming season ending in May 1849, at a salary of five guineas a week. To the plaintiff's wife the defendant ass i gned the part of Wilhehnina in The Waterman, which she played for some time, when the de defendant thought fi t to take that part f rom her and to assign it to Miss Emma Stanley. A breach, there fore, took place between th e plaintiff and the defendant, tiee plaintiff swife refusin g t o p l ay at th e th ea t re i n cer tain parts which Mr. Maddox wished her to take. The present action was brought to recover six weeks of un paid salary, at 5/. a week. Miss Emma Stanley was called for the plaintiff. She said—l was engaged last ye ar at the Princess's Theatre. Mrs. Hoskins wa s a l so eneaged at the theatre . I k now the musical farce of The Waterman, of which Wilhel mina is the principal part. I have pet formed t',a; part myself. Miss Harland, the p!aintiff's wife, took the part of Wilhelmine, when she became the prima donna at the theatre. After Miss Harland had played for some time ia that part last Beaton, it was taken from her, and as signed to me. Mr. Maddox is the proprietor of the theatre. I rem em b er on one occas i on , in April, being asked to give up the past. When a part is taken from a performer, and h o i s a f terwar d s as k e d to take it again. it is usua' to give him notice of his being reinstated. On the 17th April I saw Miss Harland advertised to play Wilhelmina in the bills of the day; and I was to perform at th e th eatre t h a t evening in an after-piece. I was requested by the defendant to be at the theatre early, but I was not told for whet purpose. I was there previous to The Waterman beginning to he played. I saw Miss Harland there, dressed to play the part ef Willielmiett. I was afterwards requested by Mr. Mad dox to perform the part. In consequence of the singing beir g taken out of the part Miss Harland had refused to play the part, and Mr. Maddox wired me to play the pint at the last moment. (Shown the agreement be tween the parties.) That is signed by the plaintiff and the defendant. it was not a part which a prima donna ought to play, when the music is cut out. I performed this part with the music, when I was asked by Mr. Mad dox to play in it. Cross-examined—l sang one song in the part; but I once played it at tha theatre for Mr. Te mpleton's bene fit, introducing the original song. On the night in ques tion, when I played it for Mr. Maddox, I sang th e song , " I'll be no submissive wife "—(Laughter)—which was originally written for a farce for Madame Vest r i s . I believe Miss Harland is tow playing at the Gr ec i an Sa loon. On th e n i g ht in question, I had a very l ong an d laborious part in another piece besides The Waterman. I don't know what is to be played on a particular day except by the bills of the day.' Re-examined—lt is always the etiquette of th e i theatres that when once a part s taken from an actor and afterwards restored to him, that ho has notice of the fact. Mr. James Fenton—ln- 1849 I w as prompt e r a t th e Princess's. I remember when Miss Harland's name was put in the bills to play the past of Wilhelmina. There was no notice sent to Miss Harland that s h e was to be advertised for Wilhelmina. On the 17th o f A pr il (the night in question) I received a letter from Miss Harland, about half an hour before the theatre opened, which I gave to Mr. Maddox. Mise Harland, I was in formed, came to the theatre that evening dressed for the part of Wilhelmina. I saw Mr. M a dd ox a t the theatre that evening. Miss Harland did not perform in the part, and I entered the fact in a book, (stied the time-book. The entry was as follows: "Miss Julia refused to go on in The Waterman unless she sang, and left the the atre. ' I never knew the p a rt of Wilhelmina played without music, and I have known the piece for the last forty years. Cross-examined —Unfortunately, I was b orn i n th e theatrical profession. The prima donna is the lady who plays the first part in the grand opera. Any prima donna could not be called on as a matter of right to play the BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A respectably attired young liar, whose name did not transpire, was charged with creating a disturbance in Parliament-street. The police-constable who had him in custody stated that between one and two o'clock this morning he was on duty in Parliament-street, when he observed the prisoner knocking violently at a public-house door, and upon asking him what he wanted, the prisoner replied, " a night's lodging." He made a great noise, and lacing rather the worse for liquor, he was taken to the station, having refused to go home. At the station he broke the lock off the cell door. Mr. HALL—What are you? Prisoner—l am no trade. lam independent. Mr. HALL—What have you to say to the charge? Pri soner—l was knocking for a friend with whom I had been drinking, but I was not drunk. Mr. HALL fined him 40s. or eight days' imprisonment. The fine was paid. A lad named Williams was cl arged with picking a gentleman's poekct of a silk hankerchi( f. The offence was committed on Sunday, between one and two, in the Strard. The prisoner was, however, not caught in the act, but he was teen to drop the hand kerchief, and before he could escape he was in the cus tody of a policeman. At the station he gave his age as 10 years. Mr. HALL now asked him how old he was, and he re plied 15. When ho said he was 10 years he had for gotten that he was older. The officer stated that he had been in custody before for stealing a jar ( f pickles. He was then sentenced to three days' imprisonment with a private whipping. Mr. HALL observed that the latter part of the sentence accounted for his now changing his age. Whipping was a punishment inflicted on offonders under 12 3 ears. The prisoner admitted the offence, but said he would not do it again if he was let off this time. He was fully committed for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET I -(THIS DAY.) - POT STEALING.—Henry Clark was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing two pint pots, the property of Mr. John Wyatt, landlord of the Marquis of Granby, Brick-street. Saunders, 70 C, stated that yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, he was on duty in Park-lane, when he saw the prisoner, whom he knew to be a notorious pot stealer, coming towards him with something bulky sticking from his breeches pocket. On catching sight of witness the prisoner ran away into St. James's-park. Witness followed him and took him into custody, and on searching him ho found the two pots produced in his coat pocket. lie subsequently went to Mr. Wyatt, who identified the pots as his property. The prisoner, in defence, said he saw the pots lying in the middle of the road, and he picked them up for the purpose cf conveying them to the owner. Mr. BINGHA.ISI, who doubted the prisoner's tale, com mitted him for trial. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SATURDAY. The Queen walked this morning in the Slopes and Windsor Park.

LIFE, the MIRROR for the MILLION. Two numbers have appeared of this new and spirited candidate for public favour, and they fully bear out its title. The brochures are full of " life," and constitute an agreeable milave of wit, and frolic, and sentiment. The engravings are full of spirit and expression, and it is seldom that we have seen woodcuts so clean and clear in their outlines. The engraving in Ne. 2, " Childhood, the first page of Life," is of exceeding beauty, both as regards de sign and execution. Life also contains some exqui site lyrics of a much higher order of poetry than is usually found in publications of this character. Yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the union of her Most Gracious Majesty with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on the that of February, 1840. THE NORTHERN WHALE AND SEAL FISIIERY.

The circumstances of the explosion are somewhat singular, and may be attributed to the effects of the h urr i cane o f T ues d a y n i g ht. The pit is 120 y ar d s d eep, an d b e l ow t h e coa l i s an iron mine, one eng i ne work i ng b oth m i nes, there being a separate shaft f or eac h, t h oug h t h ey are connected with each o th er b e l ow t h e sur f ace. A skip was descending the coal shaft at the time of the explosion, and was hurled out to an ex t raor di nar y height in the air by the explosion, some portions of it falling at a di s t ance of one ' hundred yards from the mouth of the pit. In consequence of the rush of the foul air f rom the pit itwas some time before any person could descend into the mine. It should be explained that the two mines are ventilated in connexion, an openi ng b e i ng made between them by which the fresh air was passed from the coal mine into the iron mi ne , and then passed outward. The explosion had by some un accountable process of nature reversed these cur rents of air, and this being discovered, an intrepid fellow, named John Webb, descended the iron shaft, and climbing into the coal mine, with a safety lamp in his hand, was the instrument of saving several unfortunate miners who were in a state of exhaustion in the pit. Others followed Webb, and the miners were got out before midnight, though tour of them—named Joseph Warwick, $ youth named Griffiths (son of the superintendent, who was also in the mine, and was blown some dis tance), and two brothers named Webster—were killed. Most of the men (fourteen in number) who survived were burnt ; Griffith?, the superm• tendent, has received some very serious injuries, and is in a precarious state. The cause of the acci dent can only be surmised, though it is pretty clearly traceable to the effect of the high south-west wind of Tuesday evening. The workings of the mine extend in a southerly direction from the shaft, and it is thought that the fire commenced about midway be tween the shaft and the head of the workings, near a " bolt hole" leading to an old working now dammed off, where an inequality in the roof of the mine would allow of some little accumulation of the vapour undetected. The pit is occasionally liable to be charged with sulphur ; some four or five years ago eleven men were killed in it by a similar explosion. It appears that when the wind is in a southerly direction, or shortly before a fall of rain, sulphur accumulates in the pit, and then safety lamps are used, though at other times the miners work with naked lights, and this was the case when the explosion took place. It is supposed that the high wind disturbed the foul air from some branches of old workings, supposed to be securely dammed up, and thus escaping to the place were the men were at work with naked candles the explosion took place. BALLOONS FOR THE CONVEY ANCE OF INTNLLIGZNCE. TO THE EDITOR OF 711 E SUN. SlR,—Can you furnish such of your readers in terested in the recent balloon experiments with some particulars as to the size of the balloons, the material of which they were made, and kind of varnish used ; the weight of a balloon in its flaccid state, and its available buoyancy when inflated ; the means of in flation, and weight of gas : also the means of infla den proposed to be adopted in the Arctic regions, the sort of slow match used, its weight per yard, and rate of burning ? Would it not be well to set the balloona free from an open field, and under a condition of a strong breeze of a velocity of at least fif.een miles per hour ? The balloons in a flaccid state could be taken to a conve nient station and there be inflated under the lee cf a canvass screen; the gas for their inflation could be conveyed in a gas-holder, a large bag of some two hundred cubic feet, rendered air tight by a suitable varnish (perhaps gutta percha would be found to answer well); the gas can be condensed, so that a large quantity may be conveyed in a compact form I am, Sir, &c.

SUICIDE OF A Courourou.—Yesterday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, a man named John Walker, a compositor, who for some time past h as b een l o d g i ng at the Ange l Crown, Haddon-street, Regent-street, committed a most determined act of suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. It appears that the deceased was separated from his wife, and latterly had given way to drinking. Yesterday, while labouring under delirium tremens, he seized hold of a razor, and before Mr. Davis, the landlord of the house, could prevent him, drew it across his throat from ear to ear, inflicting a frightful gasb. Assistance was immediately procured, and the unfortunate man was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospi tal, where he died shortly after his admission. NoRTII-WESTERN HAILIVAL—The directors of this company have just issued their half-yearly re port, which will be ambmitted to the shareholders at the general half-yearly meeting, at Skipton, on Wednesday next. This document states that thirty nine miles of the line are now open for traffic, and that the directors have every reason to believe that the en tire line from Skipton to Lancaster will be opened in the first week in Juue next. The ern ars on calls have teen :reduced since the last half-yearly meeting Ly 16,000/. The 'surplus land of the company is to be offered for sale at the earliest opportunity. The traffic on this line being in a great measure dependent on two trunk limo., punctuality and certainty in the working are moat essential, and to ensure this the directors strongly recommend the laying down of a double line of rails from Skipton to Clapham, at a further outlay of 45,0001. It is proposed to borrow this amount, the di! ec,.zors being prepared to do so on their own personal security, provided the shareholders will empower them to make further calls on the old shares, should it 1.0?.01100 necessary to do so, in order to repay their loans. Only 8,446 shares of the preference stock have been taken, and as the directors hope to borrow money at a lower rate, it is now proposed to restrict the issue to this number of preference sharer. The capital account shows an expenditure, up to the 31st December, 1849, of 760,910. 18s. ld. The traffic returns show the receipts for the half-year ending 31st December, 1849, to have been 5,8781.45. 5d , which, with the receipts for a part of the year, up toJuee3o,lB49, amounting to 1,4854105. 10(1., makes a total of 7,3631. 15r. 3d.
