East India Company's ser vice, assembled at ten o'clock, A.m., yesterday, at Shoeburyness, to witness experiments with seventy rockets made on Mr. Hale's principle, and seventy of the rockets used by the Royal Horse Artillery in her Majesty's service. The experiments commenced by placing one of Lieutenant Boxer's tubes for firing the service rockets, and a trough about ten feet long- for Mr. Hale's rockets, on the beach, close to the preven tive station. The first five rockets of the service kind were fired alternately with five of Mr. Hale's, at arr elevation of twenty degrees, and made excellent prac tice, every one of them being carried upwards of 1,000 yards before they alighted on the sands, and ricochetted in some instances to nearly double that distance. Several of Mr. Hale's rockets reached a distance of from 1,400 to 1,800 yards before they alighted, bat the smoke issuing from them when they fell being apparently less dense than that from the service rockets, it was difficult to ascertain how far they ricochetted after touching the ground. Five of each kind of the rockets were then fired at an elevation of 15 degrees, and made very good practice, being carried to a great distance, and their flight towards the flagstaffs, placed at 500 yards, 1,000 yards, 1,200 yards, 1,400 yards, 1,600 yards, and 1,800 yards, being in very nearly a straight direction. The neat five rockets of each kind were fixed at an elevation of PRICE SD.

On Saturday evening a prisoner named James Smithwick, who had p reviously made an unsuccessful attempt of the same kind, succeeded in making his escape from the city gaol, where he was awaiting the execution of a sentence of seven years' transportation for receiving stolen goods. An unsuccessful search was made after him until night, when it was discontinued. the intention being to resume it next morning. At about midnight, however, the turnkey at the gate hear d a voice requesting admittance, which he pereo3PtarilY re fused, supposing it was some drunken fellow who did not know what he was about. The pe.rson outside however, insisted upon residence," and during " being admitted into his own, the conversation the turnkey re le.t . him in with great cognised Smithwick's voice, en 4 y received by the governor, alacrity. He wo k m ete s for preventing the repetition who, however, kSminitb_wick_ said that from the window of the occereeee tg: of the gaol he saw an orchard, and wishing to have some fruit he went out, eat as much as he wanted, and came back ag ain. lie did not state by what means be effected his escape. A POINT OF ECONOMY. — The Liverpool Albi on of yesterday says—" During the time the case was pro ceeding against Barrett and Quinn for hi g h way ro bb ery, the prosecutor (John Ashworth) in th e case previously tried presented himself before th e J udge and said,— 'My Lord, that coat?' Th e Judg e, in surprise The coat ! what coat ?' Prosecutor—' The coat the prisoner had on, my Lord, was my property, and I want it back. The governor of the gaol said it was a fact the cost be longed to th e p rosecuter. The J u d ge , to t h e pro s ecutor _ Well, do you think, after the manner he has worn it, it is worth the application ? Prosecutor—` Oh, yes, my Lord, it 'll do rarely for my mon.'—(Laughter.) The Judge (soliloquizing)—' Well, it's a shocking bad one. —(Loud laughter.) To the gaoler—' Oh, if it be his coat, and he demands it, give it him by all means.' " RYARSII•— CAUTION TO TOBACCO AND CIGAR SMOKEAS.—On Wednesday last, about two o'clock in the afternoon, a meadow belonging to Mr. Thomas Woodger, of Aldon, in the parish of Ryarsh, was set on fire close to a footpath leading from Aldon Farm to Off ham. A piece of a pipe of tobacco was found lying close to the spot where it first ignited. The fire quickly ran, the grass being hot and dry from the intense heat of the sun, at the moment, to the adjoining hedge, bor dering a most beautiful field of wheat and barley. Had it not quickly been discovered by two men mowing turnips near, the destruction must have been very seri ous ; for had the standing corn caught, no human exertion could have stopped it, as no water was near. An alarm was immediately given, when several of Mr. Woodger's men, to whom great praise is due, with his nephew, Mr. Woodger being himself frsm home, by great perseverance and praiseworthy exertions, soon succeeded in stopping the progress of the fire.—Maid stone Journal. THE ATMOSPHERIC.—The South Devon line, from this city to Teignmouth, has this day been worked throughout with the most complete success. The dis tance from this city to Teignmouth, including stoppages at Stareross and Dawlish, was performed in 42 minutes, with the utmost ease and precision. It is expected that all the transit will be made by the atmospheric in the course of a day or two ! So much for the croakers ! Bes/ey's Exeter News. 10 degrees, and struck the ground, some at 250 yards, others at 400, and, in one case 500 yards dis tance, ricochetting to a considerable distance further, Mr. Hale's, at the same elevation, were carried to a much greater distance. At an elevation of 5 degrees the range of the service-rocket was 100, 300, 400, 200 and 150 yards ; Mr. Hale's five, at that eleva tion, being 200, 500, 500, 600, and 500 yards. At ,stra6 2l. itegre toe ground esele a va t ti a,u. , elevation, the five service-rockets . distance, Mr. Hate's being-450, 300;1 tx.V.:4 yards rounds of- each kind were then fir: * sam rlet level as the ground, and the tube for ,s t m he o th y se e rvic t " e 4 - 1: rockets and the trough for Mr. Hale lower part of the beach. Several of the service rockets touched touched the ground at 20 yards' distance, and two of them buried themselves in the sand at that range ; the others struck the ground at from 30 to 100 yards' distance, and ricochetted to upwards of 1,000 yards. Three of Mr. Hale's struck the ground at about 15 yards' distance, and the others at from 100 to 350 yards distance, ricochetting to aconsider able distance. A second series of experiments took place with a similar number of each kind of rockets as the former at the same elevations and from the level of the ground with the same number of rockets as on the first trial, and the result at 20, 15, 10, 5 and 2f degrees, was nearly similar to those previously experimented with. In the second series Lieutenant Boxer's tube was continued for the service-rockets, but Mr. Hale sub stituted a tube formed in nearly a similar shape to a Jew's-harp, that plan being adopted to prevent the chance of injury to a vessel when fired on board of ships or war-steamers. The plan appeared to act re markably well, and projected the rockets to a very tpwards of great distance ; in numerous instances, 2,000 yards. When the last ten of r. rockets were tried on a level, he substituted another rocket-stand, which supported the rocket beneath it; and, on being fired, a spring caused the support to open and the rocket to proceed onward, but, owing to the greater degree of uncertainty of its direction, that plan of firing was discontinued after the third rocket had been tried with it, the remainder being fired from the stand for use on board of vessels of war. The last three of the service-rockets were fired from the ground without being placed in the tube, a n d they could not have given greater satisfaction than they did, and would have proved most destructive to cavalry, having skimmed a distance of upwards of 1,200 yards, within a few feet of the ground, with very great velocity. Mr. Hale's rockets were decidedly better on this than on any former occasion, and the whole of the practice was remarkably good, and afforded a great treat to a number of the gentry of Southend and the surrounding country who had assembled to wit ness the experiments. The firing of the whole 140 singly only occupied about two hours, the range being uninterrupted by any of the causes which so often create a great delay at Woolwich. Mr. Hale's rockets, although only 91b. weight, are of the same diameter as the service 12-pounder rockets, and re quire about one-third less composition to charge them. as they ave shorter ' and fired without any rocket -staff bring attached to them. The whole of the rockets fired to-day were charged with the composition at the Royal Arsenal, and were all in excellent condition. Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer and Lieutenant-Colonel Hardinge superintended the experiments, and the whole was effected with the strictest impartiality. Three of the last fired by Mr. Hale were not so good as any of the others, but there were exactly three of the service rockets in a similar state, having entered the sand and remained there at thirty yards' range. Captain Mends and Lieutenant Goose, of the Coast Guard, were present, and, with the men under their command, rendered every assistance. AUGUST 19, 1847. 0. 17,135.

Stirling, at present with Sir Charles Napier's squadron, is ordered to this port to fit for the recep tion of her Majesty the Queen Dowager and suite, whom she conveys to the island of Madeira for the benefit of her Majesty's health. The 10th of Sep tember is the day named for the embarkation. The fittings of the Hastings, 72, which conveyed her Majesty to Germany, will, if suitable to the in creased dimensions of the ship, be adapted to the Howe. An Act having been recently passed for the estab lishment of naval prisons and for the prevention of desertion from her Majesty's navy, the provisions of which have for their object the abolition of flogging, A lmiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in- Chief at this port (the originator of the plan, and to whom, we believe, is due the credit of having got this humane project established), accompanied by Captain Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent, and other officers, visited the borough gaol this afternoon, to ascertain if there was accommodation sufficient for the reception therein of such offenders as are com prised in the provisions of the Act until the perma nent establishment of naval prisons. The Gallant Admiral was fully satisfied with the accommodation shoWn him by Mr. Hunt," the governor of the gaol, and prisoners sentenced by court-martial to punish ments enumerated in this Act may now, therefore, be sent to confinement forthwith, and flogging will be no more heard of here for such offences as may better be punished by imprisonment, mulct pay, and, forfeit of time. At the same time, no man can be imprisoned without the sanction and order of the Commander-in-Chief. The Cambrian, 36, Captain Plymtidge, was docked last night to have her copper examined, which resulted in her having new copper nearly up to her bends this day put on. Men do not come forward with alacrity for her, in consequence, it is rumoured, of the inten tion to establish the Ellenborough anti-smoking mania on board universally. If she is not speedily ready to receive Sir H arry Smith's family and suite, and convey them to the cape of Good Hope, either the Fury steam-sloop, Commander Willcox, or the Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown (both nearly ready for sea), will have that honour. The Geyser is ordered to have a mizenmast fitted. Anew steam-sloop, to be called the Plumper, is ordered to be laid down in this dockyard. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, sailed from Val paraiso for England on the 29 th of May, with a freight of 800,000 dollars in specie on merchants' account, consigned to Shaw, Maxwell, and Co., of London. She is expected at Spithead next week or the first week in September. Whether she conveys any freight on account of the Chilian loan in addition to the above amount, is not yet satisfactorily known. The Fury steam-sloop, Commander James Willco x was last evening removed from the basin, and is now alongside the jetty. The Amphitrite, 26, Captain T. R. Eden, hauled alongside the jetty this morning to take on board stores. This vessel will be ready to leave the harbour in a few days, and has got a crack crew, composed of the best of the seamen paid off from the Conway, Helena, and Lily. She has been in commission only 33 days. It is highly creditable to the zeal and activity of Captain R. L. Warren, of the Trincomalee, 26, and his officers, that with a crew, numbering not half her complement, and commissioned only 24 days, they have managed to get her in such a very forward state, yards across,, topgallant masts pointed, and rigging rattled down. The Phcenix steani-sloop, Commander J. S. A. Dennis, was undocked last night and removed froth the basin. She sailed to day directly from the har bour for Woolwich to have her defects made good, which have been found upon examination to be too serious to be rectified here without occupying more time than can conveniently be spared. The Fire Queen steam-yacht, Lieutenant Comman der C. R. Johnson, is in readiness to convey dis patches of importance out to Rear-Admiral Sir _Thomas Cochrane on his heaving in sight in the Agincourt, 72, hourly expected from the East Indies. HOP INTELLIGENCE. BATTLE.—Looking towards thehoppTantations from an eminence above the Brooks gives great pleasure, es their luxuriant appearance and green colour indicate that there will he, in the most fertile grounds, a satis factory crop ; but there is not a prospect of so many being grown in Battle parish as there were last year, god size ; though the burr is making goo d progre s s and looks as if the bloom would expand t o a g it also Appears very thick on the bine. BRIGHTLING.—The hops i n thi s p ar i s h have not made much progress since thi s d ay wee k ; h ar i n g bad eold winds, burr is kept back on th e grape. M os t people are of opinion that the gr a p e h op w ill not b e so thick as the Jones's are, in our district. The Jones's are nearly all in full hop, and are looking very well in most gardens. Fauxusat.—Our hops are not looking so well as last week; the falling off is in the best grounds. Very few are found to back the duty, which is still called 5,000/. GOUDHURST.—The bops are suffering for want of rain; the shower we had the other day has benefited them but little. The crop will be very short in some gardens where there has been much vermin. There is but little fruit; we shall be considerably short compared with last year. HIIRSTOREEN.—The hop bines in this neighbourhood are looking very thriving, and show for a good average crop, nearly equal to last year. The harvest is fast pro gressing, and every appearance of a very heavy crop, excepting beans, which are rather blighted. The early potatoes are dug up, and a good crop appears without the least sign of blight. NORTHIABL—The grounds which were most infested with vermin have much improved during the last few days, and the whole are getting pretty generally into hops, which are looking healthy and likely to grOW to a good size ; and although for the most part it must be a top crop, we have reason to believe it will be a fair one. MAYFIELD.—The hops have improved but very little in the last week, except in the gardens where the bine is good. Where they have been injured by the vermin, they are nearly at.a stand-still; the two last nights have been verreold for the season, with a strong north=east wind prevailing coneequently, the burr is' some time coming into hop, and to all appearance the picking will be late. ROTHERFIELD.—The hops in this neighbourhood, through the cold nights which succeed e d the late ra i ns, have been rather in a stag na t e d con diti on , b u t theim provement of the temperature has caused them to regain their state of vigour and healthy appearance. The pre vailing opinion is, the average crop will equal that of last year, WADHURST.—The hops have improved greatly since the late congenial showers, and are fast coming into fruit, but their appearance at present indicates that they will be decidedly in two crops. Large hops are to be seen and the burr also on the same poles. Some slight im provement has taken pl ac e i n th e blighted grounds. Should we be f avoure d w i t h a f ew more s h owers , we hope to report Advertiser. more favourably next week.—Sussex MAIDSTONE:— The hops are improving very fast. The weather is in favour of them. The duty must be very large, and there is every prospect of their being very good. BRENCHLEY.—Owing to the cold nights of the past week our hops have in appearance somewhat fluctuated. They now again assume a very favourable prospect of a good crop.- We are told by various travellers that our plantations are very superior to many parishes in Kent. —Maidstone Gazette. P HAMBURGH MAIL. TRIALS. BERLIN, Aug. 10.—It was generally expected that sentence would be pronounced this day upon the three chief offenders, Mieroslowski, Konuski, and Drom• browski. The Court was consequently more densely crowded this day than on any preceding part of the week, and the report which had been circulated the day before yesterday that Mieroslowski and Konuski had effected their escape from prison caused a great number of persons to press into the Court. Both re ports were, however, without foundation. It has been decided that the publication of the sentence will not take place till after thorough investigation and completion of the process against the accused, and, further, that not one of the prisoners, if the possibi lity of flight were presented, would dream of attempt ing an escape. The investigation was beset with the greatest difficulties, demanding an intimate know ledge of the prescriptive laws of Poland, and a most patient, deliberate, and sound judgment. No person could have been selected for the responsible situation of president more admirably 'qualified for it than M. Kosk, whose presence of mind and calm dignified deportment have greatly impressed every hearer in the Court with the benevolent de signs of the law. The conflicting and contradictory statements of the accused render it impossible to arrive at a conviction of the truth of the facts. It is, to be desired that those who insist upon finding in this investigation the germ of a criminal process could be present on this occasion. A main difficulty is found on the following point :—The counsel for the Crown, in bringing his accusation against the three chief criminals, included in it the accusation which had been already in a measure set aside by the Act of the 17th of July. This included the previous pri vate Police Di rec t or , M. Dunke, which examination accused Konuski. A great sensation, was produced in Court, when h e heldho however, e with i e b t rh y , t the h c Konuski, in his defence, declared that the con versation with M. Dunke had lasted four hours, and, no witnesses whatever being present, that he had at first denied all the charges, but upon it being affirmed that the Government desired in formation upon the subject, he had thought it best to acquiesce in all the cges. Much, however, as the Court was for the moment interested in him, and inclined to believe all he said, this favourable impression was immediately obliterated by the reading of a letter of Konuski, and hi s prevarication in Court. A very great impressi on a l so was made by a letter o f Mieroslowski to M. D un k e, in which he said, in order " - to justify himself, T I. it is always and everywhere of such great importance to arrive at the truth, you ought not to forget that in political processes there are two kinds of truth. For us the opposite of that is true which is true f or the Government, an d we must, like besieged m en , lie for the interests of our own truth, than be upright for the interests of yours." After such a declaration it was not difficult to form some judgment what and how much may be credited of the assertions of the accused, and whose counsel concluded by saying that his client still adhered by all that he had alleged, and was ready to take the consequences upon hi mse l f. The defence, as we h ave stated, turned mainly upon this, that the un d erta ki ng w as not directed against the Russian part of Poland, and consequently the accused could not be subjected to Prussian punishment. llth.—To• day the Court pronounced the first sen tence of acquittal. The priest Zielsdorf was accused of having know ledge of the fact. His appearance was extremely imposing. He was dressed, in full canonicals, carry ing the Act of the Accusation and the Bible under his arm ; he walked with a firm step, and addressed the Court in the tone which he would have adopted in speaking to his congregation. His knowledge of the hcould render him amenable to the laws. He was nec essarily acquitted. long term of his fact was under seal of confession, yet even then he For his knowledge of the fact, the half—was perhaps deemed sufficient punishment. who are We learn from this circumstance that all subject to a longer incarceration during the investigation— . a year and a not immediately acquitted will be etrial o of that name are among Verinski.

The solemni ties are to commence in the beginning of next month, and to terminate towards the middle of October. The Archduke, attended by Baron Vay, will accordingly make a circuit through every part of the country ; he will start from Ofen on the Ist of September, making a circuit through Erlau, Karlstadt, &c., will reach Vienna on the Ist of October, where he purposes re- i maining till the sth, whence he will commence the tour through Raah, Chennitz, &c., and arrive at Ofen on the evening of the lath, when the festivities will commence at that place. Such is the plan laid down; but since this was done we regret to state that the most painful reports are in circulation respecting the health of our much-loved Archduke. He is said to have been attacked by an inflammation of the lungs, and the account, yesterday, said that his medical ad visers entertain not the slightest hope of his recovery. As yet, however, we have received no official bulletin, and, therefore, ardently hope the accounts may be ex aggerated. .riitit HAGUE, Ann. da y _ the Minister of the Interior, in the name o f the King, closed the legislative session of 1846 and .1847. In the closing speech of Count de Randwyk, bespoke in defenee of the project of law destined to give effect to the sixth article of the fundamental law on the right of voting at elections. The Minister refuted the unconstitu tional motive which has dictated more than a negative vote, stating at the same time, with a frankness which the feelings of his duty prompted, the pernicious influence which the rejection of Government propo sitions necessarily exercised on the development of our political institutions. There is not a man, who, after this discourse of the Minister, will not be bound honestly to confess that in this affair the Chamber, by its veto, has left in abeyance the execu tion of an imperative disposition of the constitution, and has strengthened the progress which the Govern ment had in view. The Minister concluded by say ing—" And you, gentlemen, who have refused your aid to the Government in rejecting this law, let me beg of you to reflect once more, whether, when you return to your own homes, and recall your acts of this session, you will be able to give yourselves this testimony, I have observed and maintained the fundamental law, and have not deviated from it in any manner whatever.'

LORD-LIEUTENANCY OF GLOUCESTER. — We are assured on good authority that two petitions to her Majesty, one emanating from the electors, and the other from the women of the county of Gloucester, are in the course of signature, praying for the removal of the Earl Fitzhardinge from the Lord-Lieutenancy. The grounds of the prayer are, the Noble Earl's unconstitutional and arbitrary interference in the late election for the wee ere division; his alleged attempt, by oppressive measures, to disband one troop of the yeomanry cavalry of the county, and other reasons, principally of a personal character, which render him, in the opinion of the petitioners, unfit for the high office of chief magistrate of the county. — Bristol Mirror. NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—WhiIe tl.O steam-boat Premier was leaving Dumbarton pier yester day at midnight, a boat, containing three men, pushed off from the dock-yard to ship some goods, and the man at the stem having caught hold of the rope thrown from the steamer, in fastening it to the seat the boat got such a jerk that a young man, named James Thomson, sea man, who was sitting at the stern, was thrown overboard. He was carried under the stern of the steamer, as he himself afterwards affirmed that he saw the rudder above him ; and not being able to swim, be was struggling with the watery element, and was just on the point of sinking, when his companion, David Paton, of the smack Argyle, having daringly, yet praiseworthily, leaped from the boat; caught hold of him and allowed him to get breath; but Paton not being able to hold on any longer, let go to save his own life. By this time a person in one of the boats that had come to their assistance shoved down his oar, when the half-drowned youth seized hold of it, and was safely got on board. The usual restoratives having been applied, he completely recovered from his unexpected dip, and resolved now to learn to swim, having seen the necessity of doing so by experience. Greater caution should be observed by the persons who use these little boats, as they are dangerous on account of the sudden jerk which they receive when they come in contact with the steamers. The captain deserves praise for his humane exertions on the occasion ; and particularly David Paton, who, in fact, saved the life of the youth.—North British Mail. DEPARTURE OF THE GUADALQUITER. — On Satur day afternoon this fine new steam-ship, of whose trial trip we gave some account last Monday, took her de. parture for Cuba, via New York, under the command of Captain Hosken, carrying out upwards of twenty pas sengers and sixty tons of fine goods on freight, but no specie. The Guadalquiver left the Coburg-dock about one o'clock, and proceeded rapidly down the river in fine style, notwithstanding that she had on board, in addition to her cargo, upwards of 300 tons of coal ; and, should the weather prove favourable, there is little doubt that the replies she carries to the letters received by the Britannia will arrive out sufficiently early to anticipate those by the Boston steamer, which leaves on Thursday next. She draws, we are informed, seven feet of water only ; and on the whole, as she steamed down the river, presented a handsome appearance. Her insurance for the run to Cuba, via New York. was effected at Lloyd's, we believe at a very low figure, namely, 40a., with liberty to make a stay of six weeks at New York to receive her flush decks. This fact is peculiarly gratifying to the commander of the Guadal quiver. The following is a list of her passengers : Mr. Sittig, Mr. Murray, Mr. Mlienzie, Mr. Mowatt, Mr. Brodie, Mr. Blount, Mr. Anthony, Mr. Mercer, Mr. Dunlop, Lieutenant Pechell, Mr. Draper, Mr. Draper, jun., Captain Robinson, Mr. Wilson, Mr. bun combe, nurse, and two servants ; Mr. Ewart, wife, ser vant, and two children ; Dr. Carson, Miss Harbottle, and Mr. Charles F. Shaw.—Liverpool - -OPENING OF THE HADLEIGH LlNE.—This interest ing event is fixed for Friday next, the.2oth inst. Active preparations are being made in the vicinity of the Had- Leigh station. The goods and coal sheds are nearly completed, and the station is rapidly progressing. On Friday the shops will be closed at Hadleigh, and a gene ral holiday will be given. From the preparations that are in progress, there is no doubt the directors will meet with a warm and hearty reception. Ipswich Express.

BARON OF RENFREW. The Court journals some short time ago contained an account of an interesting little joke played off upon his Royal High ness t h e Prince Consort. One morning after breakfast, at Windsor Castle, the lord in waiting brought in a card to the Prince, having upon it neatly engraved " The Baron of Renfrew," and at the same time delivered a polite message on the part of the baron, craving the honour of an audience. Immediately " Burke's Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage" was put in requisition to ascertain who this dignitary should be ; but, after much search, no such title could be found in that great record of the British nobility. Neither could his Royal Highness recollect that he had ever heard the baron's name mentioned in the high circles on the Continent. However, to make a long story short, after the Prince had puzzled himself in vain to find some clue to " The Baron of Renfrew," ho de sired that the baron might be shown up, when the once solved of Wales. bythe marching in of his eldest my 5 t e son—the ry wa sa t Prince As the Baron of Renfrew is to accompany our Grseious Queen on her visit to her ancient and loyal kingdom on this occasion—and further, as the royal party, for the first time, is to pass those districts of Scot land which give titles of dignity to the heirs apparent of the Scottish throne—it will not prove unsuitable if we take this opportunity of reminding our readers that the styles and titles of the baron are (according to our ancient formularies) 63 follow: The Right Excellent, High, and Magnanimous Albert Edward, Knight and Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, Earl of Carrick, Duke of Rothsay, Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. Amongst these titles, it will be observed that baronet, viscount, and marquis do not occur, because these three last are modern names of rank. Further, it is worthy of remark, that baronet is an hereditary dignity between baron and lord; viscount between lord and earl; and marquis between earl and duke. The title of baron in Scotland, and the title of baron in England, are not one and the same; the latter and our Scottish title of lord being equivalent. Baron in Scotland is inferior to baronet. Baron in England is superinr to baronet. The titles of the Great Steward of Scotland illustrate this distinction in a very cleat way for Baron- of Renfrew is just as distinct from Lord of the Isles, as Earl of Carrick is distinct from Duke of Roth say. Yet there are, perhaps, not five men in the whole peerage or baronetage of the United Empire who know these distinctions between baron and lord; or are aware that baron is a titulum honorem et statum, which has been conferred by charter on many of our baronets and peers before they were raised to higher honours. It is a very remarkable circumstance, too, that the title baron, as contradistinguished from lord, should only now exist in Scotland as a secondary or subordinate name of dignity. For, after all, in an old and proud monarchy, what are the titles of honour that are chiefly to be prized? The Baron of Renfrew is a right noble title, almost as ancient as our hills. So are the titles Baron of Polok, Baron of Colstoun, Baron of Riddell, Baron of Ancrum, Baron of Mochrum, Baron of Den nistoun, the heads of which houses are, we believe, the only six men in Scotland whose ancestors witnessed the instrument of inquisition respecting the possessions of the see of Glasgow, made by Prince David in 1116. Yet five of these titles—titles 731 years old—are merged in baronetcies conferred not two centuries back, whilst the owner of the sixth, the late Member for Glasgow, has long dropped it for that of esquire—sic transit gloria , mundi!—North British Mail. DINNER TO THE HON. GRANTLEY BERKELEY. A public dinner was given on Monday last at Dursley, West Gloucester, to celebrate the return of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, who made a speech on the occasion, in which he entered into lengthened details of the different measures taken by his adver saries to oppose his return. It was no use to say (said the Hon. Gentleman) that the Duke ofßeaufort did not direct his tenants to vote against me, for I saw the order.—(Hear, hear, and shame.) Lord Ducie did the same. An elector wrote to me and said— " When you write to me again disguise your hand, for the post-master here is in Grenville Berkeley's interest, and will report your correspondence with me to Lord Ducie."—(Shame.) On hearing this I wrote to Lord Ducie, and received a reply from Lady Ducie, stating that her lord was ill, and declined in terfering in election matters. I replied to her Lady ship, telling her that if the Earl was ill he could say, aye or nay, would he leave his tenants free to vote for Grantley Berkeley if they pleased. The only answer I got to this straightforward question waF a most insolent letter from Mr. Morton, the Earl's steward. The Lord-Lieutenant--you all know what he has done. He brought down my brother Augustus, who had not been at his castle for fourteen years, to vote against me. He attempted to induce my brother Henry to take the same course, but he remained neutral, and Craven plumped against me, his brother. —(Shame.) You all kn w that the most disgusting scenes of debauchery, corruption, and bribery ever witnessed characterised the late election. We never shall have purity of election so long as the golden sceptre of the peer can make poor men subservient to the point of its own indication. The time, however, is coming when lords will be compelled to lay aside the pressure of the coronet, and act for the good of the people.—(Loud cheers.) Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire have taught the three lords a lesson. Gentlemen (concluded the Hon. Gentleman), allow me to thank you again for our proud position. Gra titude will cause me to take a more prominent part in all that concerns your interest and the country at large than I have heretofore done. Trust me, I will do everything that is free in principle and correct in purpose. Give me a fair trial, and you will not find me wanting.—(Great cheering.) MILITARY LEVEE.—Tuesday Lord Fitzroy So merset, as Military Secretary to the Commander-in- Chief, held a levee at the Horse Guards. Among the officers present were—Major-General Ewart, Major P. Campbell, Lieut.-General Wright, Colonel Rowland, Colonel Harding, Major-General Macneill, Lieutenant- Colonel Schswonsor, Lieutenant-Colonel Davies, Major Neville (Paymaster Royal), Captain Hon. J. Keane, Rev. C. Davies, Captain Kincaid, Captain J. H. Grey, and about forty other gentlemen. SUDDEN DEATH.—We have to record the sudden death of Thomas Andrews, Esq., of Blagden's farm, Hempstead, which took place on the 9th inst. Deceased, who was in the 78th year of his age, had been at the polling district at Saffron Walden, for the election of the Members of Parliament, and returned home to tea, when, soon after his arrival, he felt indisposed, and died in less than two hours, deeply regretted. The celebrated Hempstead foxhounds were kept and hunted by Mr. Andrews for more than twenty years.—Essex Paper. STEAM VERSUS PROTECTION.—A free-trade elector of North Ddrham, whom the Protectionists had booked as " absent in France," unexpectedly dropped in upon them at Morpeth, shortly after the opening of the poll on Tuesday, and plumped for Sir G. Grey. He was at Boulogne at eight o'clock on Monday morning, steamed across the Channel to Folkestone, spent two agreeable hours at that place, proceeded by railway to London, devoted five hours to business, and then came forward to Morpeth, arriving in time to be among the foremost voters on Tuesday morning. How can " protection," , or, in other words, the isolation of classes and nations, ' exist in such a world of steam ?—Gateshead Observer. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.—Tuesday, shortly before twelve o'clock, a fire, involving a serious destruc tion of property, broke out in the premises belonging to Mr. Morgan, a builder, in the Old Kent-road. The flames originated from some unknown cause in the manufac tory, a range of premises about 80 or 100 feet long, and of proportionate width. At the time the discovery was made the fire had obtained a strong hold of the place, and, owing to the inflammable nature of the stock de posited therein, the flames extended with more than ustui ridity, so that in less than ten minutes the en h ta i rosPro perty presented one immense sheet of 1! ei. telligence of the bourhood. This circumstance caused to the engine sta disaster to be speedily communicat ed _ 1 18 4 the spot was that tions.

POST-OFFICE ROBBERY. — On the evening of Thursday last, M r . H ar t, postmaster, Paisley, left the office in the usual state, and on his return, about a quar ter-past one on Friday morning, he found that_ some parties had entered and broken open various lock -fact places, and stolen cash and postag e sta mps to the valu e t entered of about six pounds. It is supposed that l t . h t a was they the same by means of skeleton keys , and that party who entered the Renfrewshire tilivertiser office on half a the same morning, and w ithin han hou uf r o the same false Y sed at the time. The circumstance of the y _ exactly the post-office door, Advertiser office suiting strengthens the saspicion.—Glasgoto Arg us. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17.—There was no important change in the market to day. Perhaps, on the whole, a little more inquiry for yarn on Rus sian account ; and some extent of business would probably have been done for that market, if spinners would have made a single concession in price. The firmness of the Liverpool cotton market, however, tends to keep up prices here ; and the business done was generally at the rates current last week. The goods market was without change. The demand continues on the very lowest scale; but prices are pretty firmly maintained for almost all descriptions of cloth. We understand that the closing of mills, and the working of short time, are extending at Pres ton ; but we have not heard of the example being followed in other quarters. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, AUGUST 16.--There has been a better demand for pieces to-day, and consider ably more business transected than on the previous Monday. Prices have undergone no change since last week. The wool market continues inactive, and prices are firm. HALIFAX, SATURDAY, AUG. 14.—The attendance in the piece hall continues very slack, and but few goods change hands, the derangement in the money market having had a decided tendency to prevent the improvement which had been expected. The same cause had checked the demand for yarn, which had been improving ; and there is no variation in price. The market is better supplied with long wool, but the short stock in the consumers hands leads to a tolerably ready sale, though the price demanded scarcely rules as high as was looked fur. In short wools there is no alteration to notice. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, AUG. 17.—There is but little alteration from last week's report. There are a few foreign buyers in the market, but on the whole there is but little disposition to purchase until the result of wool sales is known. For fine qualities of wool there is a tendency upwards. LEEDS, TUESDAY, AUG. 17.—Our market to-day wore the usual appearance. There was rather more inquiry for low black cloth, and cloakings also con tinue in good request. In prices no variation what ever has taken place.—Manchester Guardian.
