They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished fl•om the originals by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the'extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within reach of the most economical, Ito has flied his charges at the lowest scale possible.

" Sir,—Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic GAIL I procured the best advice possible, but without deriving benefit ; and the doctors recommended me to go to the Stamford Infirmary, where I continued twelve weeks, and left It without obtaining any benefit, and all hope of relief had vanished. " This hopeless state of things continued until a friend advised me to try Elair's Pills.

CROWE Authoress of " Susan Hopley," &c.—" Susan Hopley" made herself great fame, not only as a story of tragic incident in the original form, but when dramatised and set upon the stage. "Lilly Dawson" may, doubtless anticipate a similar success. The characters have the merit of force in their drawing, and the difference between the commission of crime and the immediate consequences among the lower classes and those of a superior station, are delineated with much ta lent.

La st even ing, between six and seven o'clock, a serious fire broke out in the premises 26, Brownlow-street, Drury-lane Mr. -lane conjointly by Mr. Lovell, a coach carver, „ occupied Bickerton, and a woman named Warren. The fire commenced in i a b ac k room on the first floor. The alarm bein g given,the par ties in the first and second stories effected a safe retreat' • Mrs. Warren , h owever, was unable to descend, and finding that all escape was cut off, the poor creature made 14 r :in pearance at the front window, supplicating the crowd to assist her. She had not been in that situationmany minutes before the flames entered her room, when she got upon the window sill and was about to precipitate herself to the ground. The parties cried out to her not to throw herself out, and they would fetch a ladder. Some few minutes elapsed before one could be procured, during which time the female was seen hanging from the ledge of the window. Upon placing the ladder it would reach only to the second floor. A drayman courageously mounted, and caught Mrs. Warren in his arms, and carried her down in safety. In a brief peried several engines arrived, and the firemen set to work, but it was half-past eight before the flames could be conquered. By that time, that portion of the house where the fire begun ' was burned out, and the second and thi d r floors, d o togethf the r with the roof, were destroyed, and what remaine house was extensively damaged.

GRAIN RIOTING IN ROSS-SHIRE. (From the Ross-shirt Advertiser.) We regret that the spirit of opposition to the ship ment of grain in this county, lately manifested, has since our last been continued. On Siturday last, some carts containing a quantity of meal, intended for being shipped at Dingwall, to make up a cam for Lachbroom, were stopped, and the boatman who vas to take the meal to the vessel was threatened with volence, if be would not desist. On Monday a vessel artved in the canal, to take in a cargo of grain, which, haying become known to some men trenching near, thay eft work and hied to the vessel, the master of which they this atened, and warned him against taking the grain on Board. On that day the magistrates, having reason to ler a breach of the public peace, resolved to swear in speial constables, and the inhabitants were summoned secordingly; but few at tended, and another meetiniCaas called for seven o'clock in the evening for the s ame ptrpose. This meeting was attended by a large number .sf persons, but few con stables were sworn. Prey* 'loss and Bailie Rose ex plained to the meeting thelneeessity of.preserving the public peace, and the imProfriety of preventing the shipment of grain. Mr. Colin Munro, who was sending the meal to Lochbroom, stead that be wanted no as sistance from constables or otters to ship the meal, as he wished to avoid disturbance and Wonld not ship any if the people were against it. Seeerfeorsons objected A'o being made constables for the pment of grain, though they were desirous, at j the setae time of.pre serving the peace. They thotglii,tise grain • should not be shipped while there was t searaiSrof meal in the country. While this meetinf was irking held, a great crowd congregated in the sreet, opposite the Court house, who occasioned a gooddeal of noise; and when the meeting dispersed, crowds paradedthe town in all directions, cheering and hootisg. 1 A mob of women and c:llPdata was immediately formed. -some of whom threw stones, and others proceeded to Mr. Munro's house, and the helm -ef Mr. M`Donald, Bridgned,where some panes atglasiwere broken, .A bon - - fire was lighted close to the vessel, which had arrived in the morning, and a party was set to watch in case any grain should be shipped. 'The magistrates went through the town, and did every thing they tould to preserve the peace, and the crowd gradua'ly disappeared. The magistrates again net on Tuesday, to swear in constables, but few chose to come forward, and they were consequently unable to perfect their arrangements. About eight o'clock in the evening the streets' became crowded, and small bodies of people loitered about, whistling and shouting, while a horn was blown by one evidently employed for the purpose of collecting .the mob. Having met at the east end of the High-street, the mob proceeded to Mr. Stewart's granary . ,_ on the Greenhill, where there were about sixty quarters of grain, consisting of wheat, cats, and barley, in order to mix the same, that it might not be taken out of the country. Captain Cameron, who resides in the neigh boerhood, addressed the mob on the folly of their con duct, and advised then tc disperse. They, however, went on to the granary, and soon commenced to break open the doors. Au entrance having been effected by pulling the easter doer of tle barn asunder, h te crowd ims on an upper flat, entered rushed in, but as the grana r y from the barn, by means of a ladder, the invaders were for a time prevented from getting at the grain. At this time Bellies Rose and Wirer, and the Procurator. Fiscal arrived, and Mr. R ose tt great length addressed the crowd, amounting to several hundreds, cautioning them against acts of violence, and assuring them that meal would be provided. This would have had a good effect, but some rather notorious brawlers here inflamed the rabble, and some female orators having added their mite, by no means inconsiderable, the impression of the Baillie's advice was not long felt. The barn having been taken possession of by the Fiscal and officer; he crowd was cleared out; and the doors 'nailed up. The magistrates had no sooner gone away, than the crowd' renewed their attack on the barn, and forced themselves in in spite of all the exertions of the officers to prevent them. Having got possession of the premises, they proceeded to break open the door of the granary, which was soon effected, and the corn was immediately mixed, and of course a very great deterioration occa sioned. Having accomplished this disgraceful outrage, and maltreated the officers, the crowd went, in a highly excited state and making prodigious noise, to the vessel at the canal, to which we have already alluded, and having awakened the master and crew, some went on board, and the rest towed the vessel to the bottom of the canal, where the tide having left her, the vessel grounded, and so they could not put her to sea. The crowd then paraded the streets towards Strathpeffer toll-bar, intending, it is said, to destroy Mr. Al:Donald', granary at Bridgend, but it being near four o'clock in the morning, and being aware that they well watched they, after quantities of cheering and hooting, retired. Vice think it right to state that these riotous and out rageous proceedings were perpetrated principally by females and boys, under the more cautious leadership 01 a few whose names are well known. and who will most likely meet the punishment of their offences. On Wednesday the magistrates had an early consillta tints, and they again summoned persons to be sworn as constabl, s, and at last succeeded. In the evening nearly 100 took the oath ; the town was divided into three dis tricts, and the constabulary went to thi.ir diff , rent sta tions, each of the magistrates heading a division. Pre vious to this, Provost Reiss 'announced, that with the view of satisfying the people, the magistrates had ar ranged, that oatmeal a n d b ar l e ymeal should be provided at the prices of Is. Bd, and ls. 4d. per peck, till the county, store was opened. Upon this .a vote of thanks was given by acclamation to the Provost and magistrates, and Mr. Colin Munro having given an ord, r for 20 bolls of oat meal and some barleymeal at' prime cost, to the magis trates, thanks were also tendeted-to him. There was a good deal of noise during the'fiirtit, but nothing serious. Three p,‘rsons were apprehended • for disorderly conduct, and one of those implicated in.breaking open the barn and granary, was also apprehended. On Thursday, two of these women were sentenced to short imprisonments, but were rescued on their way to the prison, by some of the people trenching near it.. The others were lodged in prison last night, one for three days, and the other for further examination. The men who rescued the women have been this d a y apprehended. We are glad to say that last night the town was as quiet as usual; and though the special constables were on duty, there was no occasion for their interference. About three o'clock this afternoon, 100 men of the 27th, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Goodman, arrived here from Invergordon. Accommodation has been provided for them in a large house belonging to Mr. Colin Stewart. They brought 13 prisoners from Invergordon, amongst whom were e i g ht females. Having said so much as to the violent proceedings here, we have little room to notice what took place at other places in the county. Shipping of grain com menced at Invergordon on Tuesday, under military pro tection. On that day the Sheriffs Me t at Inverg ordon, with whom were Sir ,Temes Mackenzie, Tulloch, Ord, General Munro of Teaninieb, Mr. Fowler of RadderY, &e. &c., and a large detachment of the 27th having come, a few carts of grain were shipped, and the carts on return were smashed to pieces. On Wednesday the soldiers had to escort .the carts from a distance, and the people having pressed on the soldiers at Invergordon,oron, four persons were wounded, but not severely, bayonet. A great deal of excitement naturally existed, but we are glad to say, that yesterday all was quiet, and that a great deal orgrain was shipped without the interposition of the military, which was also continued to-day. The district from Alnes to Fowlis Point has been noisy during the week, and a good deal of violence weredisplay ed. The granaries akthe Point, Balcony, and Assynt, broken into and the grain mixed. The quantity so dete riorated cannot be less than 300 quarters at Fowlis, where, we are informed, the corn was also mixed with some refuse of coal and lime. We trust that we now see the end of these riotous proceedings, which we be lieve were prompted by the fear of famine and the h i g h p rices of food. Supplies were promised, and depots were to be opened, but these steps were staved off from time to time, till the people lost confidence and brooded over disappointment. How ever, this cannot excuse the breaking into granaries, and mixing of the grain therein, which makes the mer cies of Providence nugatory, and so far narrows the sup ply of food. HAMBURGR MAIL.

Balls, a gentleman residing at Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from tiarlestone Market to Wey bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horseeh period his, as to bring o hairn an ill seas of of several months' duration, during which c *lotted to come off, till he became, to use his o wn terms, " E. Jas perfectly bald as if his head had be en shaved ;" and term s, . Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, lie was induced to try the effeet of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy resu lts. As soon as part of a was Ivied the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, wh ich p resents this peculia, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency too to curl, the new growth is early and strong.

THE KATHIES.—The Calcutta Christian Observer for January gives a notice of a singular race of people called the Kathies, who inhabit a part of Guzerat. 4. These people are supposed by some to be the ancient Cathie, who in the time of Alexander's in vasion occupied a portion of the Punjaub, near the confluence of the five rivers. Among the Kathies there are no distinctions of caste. Besides priests, they have an official class of persons called bards, who possess authority almost equal to that of the Druids. They become security for the payment of debts, the conduct of individuals who have misbehaved, and the appearance of persons in pending actions, either civil or criminal. On the same terms they conduct travellers and caravans through districts infested with robbers, or in a state of war. If a troop of predatory horse appear, the bard commands them to retire, and, brandishing his dagger, takes a solemn oath that if they plunder the persons under his protection, he will stab himself to the heart, and bring upon their heads the guilt of shedding his blood. Such is the veneration in which he is held as a person of celestial origin, and such the horror at being the cause of his death, that the threat in almost every instance deters them from making the med tated attack, and the party is allowed to pass on unmo lested. The religion of these people consists of little else than adoration of the sun. They invoke this object of their worship before commencing any great under taking, and if a plundering expedition be successful, a portion of the money stolen is consecrated to the service of religion. The only functions of the priests are to celebrate marriages and funeral selemnities. They have but one sacred building—a temple—situated near Thuam, dedicated to the sun, and containing an image of that luminary. The size of the Kathies is above the average, often exceeding six feet. The women are tall and often handsome ; generally speaking, modest, and faithful to their lords. The Kathies have no restrictions of any sort regarding food or drink." CONSUMPTION OF COAL IN FRANCE. Some statistics received connected with the consump tion of coal in France and the production of her col lieries will furnish a partial clue to the industrial progress of that country during rather more than the last fifty years. It is stated that coal had been em ployed in France before the fourteenth century, but it was not till the year 1787 that the consumption reached an important point. In that year the quantity of coal consumed was 4,053,919. / metrical quintalb, and the consumption went on steadily Increasing till in 1815 it amounted to 11,121,942 metrical quintals. Considerable as this increase was in comparison with former periods, a much greater augmentation took place in the course of the next ten years, and then it appears that the quantity consumed had gra dually advanced to 19,943,853 metrical quintals. The next important stage that occurred was between that date and 1834, when we find that from 19,943,853 metrical quintails, the quantity had again augmented to 34,144,059 quintals, each year of tin intervening period showing a further and progressive increase. From that time forward an increase has annually taken place in consumption, and the later' return for 1844 gives the amount for that year at 54,861,501. Of this quantity of coal consumed the pro production of the interior during 1843 was 37,827,395 metrical quintals; and the difference between consump tion and production was made up of importations from the colleries of Belgium, Great Britain, and the Rhenish prOvinces joining Prussia and Bavaria. During the year 1843 Belgium alone imported into France 11,157,949 metrical quintals, and the importation from Great Bram, represented 4,276,936. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MARen_9.

FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The anniversary festival of this excellent charity was celebrated last evening at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge occupied the chair. About 100 friends and patrons of the society sat down to dinner, among whom were the Lord Mayor, Mr. Kemble, M.l'., Sir Claudius Hunter, Alderman Farebrother, &c., &c. After dinner a number of the juvenile proteges of the asylum were introduced into the gallery, and their voices mingled with the chorus of the national anthem. The customary loyal toasts having been duly proposed and responded to, the Duke of Cambridge rose to give the toast of the evening, " Success and prosperity to the Infant Orphan Asylum.' His Royal Highness, in the course of a brief speech, stated that he had accepted the presidency of the society at the special request of its cordial patroness, the late Queen Charlotte, and for a period of forty-two years had . been a constant supporter of the charity, from whose anniversary festivals he had hardly on any single occasion been-absent. The Duke of Cambridge concluded by an earnest appeal to the company present and the public generally to aid in sup porting the institution. The evening's entertainment passed off in the most satisfactory manner, 1,015/. having been subscribed in the room._ • ~~ PRICE SD. IRELAND. DITBLiN; MARCH B. The following resolutions have emanated from the grand jury of the county of Limerick;— "That England is greatly indebted for - her prosperity to the in'imate knowledge possessed by her rulers of - her - wants and interests, .and to the close connexion which subsists be tween - the interests of those Governing and those Governed, rendering thereby false moves in legislation events of not frequent occurrence, and affording, when they do occur, secnrWeapproaching to certainty, that they will be,of' short dulation. _ _ "That, in ohr opinion, bad England been unhappily afflicted.with the same calamity with which - it 'has' pleased ProVidence to visit us,-such an Act as the Labour-rate Act would never have been devised for the relief of that calamity; and if unfortunately it had been enacted, that as soon as its mischiefs had developed - themselves - , and were made known. to our rulers by the frequent and urgent remon strances of all parties affected by its evils, Parliament would have b beericalletl together, and some measure more beneficial to the poor, and less exPensive to the State and to the country would have been immediately enacted 'in its stead. ; That by that Act the Irr - perial Treasury has been dimi nished, and the lands of Ireland heavily encumbered by ex travagant expenditure on useless and unproductive works ; self-reliance on the part of the owners and occupiers of the soil has in most districts been rendered impossible ; our pea santry have been demoralised; our entire social system has been disorganized ; our fields have been left uncultivated ; our prospects for the ensuing year have been darkened ; la bour has been diverted from the produCtion of food • and the transition to a better system rendered doubtful and' clan :`that its enactments, by adopting in the first in stance too large an area for taxation, and then refusing to allot to productive labour on each property its proportion of the taxation of each barony in which it was situate, operated as a bounty to the proprietor who neglected his duty, at the cost of the one who performed it. " That we do not attribute these failures in legislation to a want of the best intentions in the Government, but to a want ofknowledge on the part of the most influential of our rulers of the peculiarities of our social condition, and to the too limited proportion of responsibility and confidence placed in those who, by their residence in Ireland and amongst us, are conversant with our position. " That we express our fixed conviction that the deep rooted social evils of this country can never be removed in their causes until such changes are made as will place a greater control, as well over the making the laws by which we are to be _governed, as over the administration of those laws when made, in the hands of those who are conversant with the social, moral, and political circumstances" of this country. "That, having expressed these opinions, we feel it the more incumbent upon us to express our deep and heartfelt gratitude for the truly Christian exertions and sacrifices made by the people of England for the relief of the famish ing poor of th 4 country. " 2. That thls present rate of expenditure for the relief of the poor in this country far exceeds 20s. is the pound of its entire value. That, unless a large amount of labour be given by pri vate enterprise, we see no reason to hope that this expendi ture will be reduced within any reasonable limits. " That, if it continue, each levy for the poor will reduce a large number of the ratepayers to pauperism ; gradually the land—the proceeds of which will be absorbed by taxation— will go out of cultivation, and while property will be confis cated, it will soon be found impossible to collect a suffi cient amount on rates to preserve the destitute from starva tion. a That private employment will not be given in any amount sufficient to avert those calamities, unless the area of taxation be made smaller than the present electoral divi sions' which were laid out by persons evidently, by their acts, hostile to the principle of electoral division rating. "For, if large electoral divisions be preserved, individual ratepayers will feel that they can but • little diminish their rates by giving increased employment, and .an inducement will be held out to them to employ as few labourers as pos sible, and to get for the poor in their own neighbourhood as large a proportion of the public funds as they can; while in 1 small electoral divisions, the exertions of every proprietor will sensibly diminish the amount of his taxation, and when the only choice left to him is, whether he shall pay for the support of the poor in his neighbourhood, or employ them productively, he will, of course, do the latter. "That the employment of additional labour would be greatly encouraged by giving tenants compensation for per manent improvements on fair and equitable terms. " That, in order to prevent the possibility of the rate of any electoral division being so high as to inflict an unjust and dispiriting burden upon towns and villages, a limit should be fixed, beyond which no division should be taxed for its own poor, and the surplus rate required for such dis trict should be paid by a national rate, to be levied from all descriptions of property, as well personal as real. "3. That the affliction with which it has pleased the Almighty to visit us, if not an imperial must at least be con sidered a national calamity, and therefore the burden of it should be borne by all interests in the nation, whether they be moneyed, mercantile, or agricultural, and that all funded property, productive capital, and income arising from land, should bear a just proportion of the burden. "That the placing of this burden exclusively upon one class, that class being itself the greatest sufferer by the calamity, would be an act of manifest injustice and oppres sion. Adopted unanimously. "WILLIAM MONSELL, Foreman." NAVIGATION-LAWS. The committee on these laws re-assembled yesterday in Room No. 2. There were present—Mr. M. Gibson (chair man), Mr. Ricardo Mr. Liddell, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Lye,ll, Sir Robert Peel, Mr.i Hume, Sir G. Clerk, Admiral Dundas, Mr. Alderman Thompson, Sir Howard Douglas, Mr. C. P. Villiers, Mr. Thomas Baring, and Mr. Mactirth}.. On the commencement of the business the room was cleared for some time, and on the readmission of the reporters, Mr. Hume was urging on the committee the necessity of confining the examination of the witnesses to mere facts, and not asking for opinions. Mr. Al•Grregor was then called, and examined by the Chairman—ln 1815 there were higher tonnage duties on British ships in the United States than on American ships, and in England the duties on American ships were higher than on British ships. The reciprocity treaty put an end to the differences of the duty, but did not affect the navigation laws of either country, it merely placed equal charges on tha ships and the cargoes of both countries. According to the English navigation laws an American ship must be built, owned, manned, and commanded in a particular way to en title it to the privileges or the reciprocity treaty. The 16th clause of Victoria 8 and 9 provided that no American ship should be deemed national unless built in America, owned, manned, and commanded by Americans. Unless this clause were complied with, the ships would not be considered Ame rican; they might, however, claim to be admitted under the treaty. The British navigation laws prevented foreign coun tries from competing with the United States in bringing American produce to England. If the English navigation laws, by providing that English ships should be manned and owned by English sailors, give an encouragement to British shipping, they also give encouragement to American ship ping, by providing that the American ships should be manned and owned by Americans. By Mr. Liddell—Our intercourse with the United. States was based upon the strict footing of reciprocity by treaties, and it was necessary to define by such clauses and regu lations what should constitute reciprocity between the two countries. There was an article in the Treaty of Hol land which defined what a national ship was. Questions certainly did arise with regard to the nationality of South American republic ships, after the declaration of indepen dence on the part of the Spanish American provinces. By Mr. Ricardo—The object of the navigation laws with America was to obtain, in conjunction with America, a monopoly of the trade between. the two countries; it ex cluded all other vessels from the carrying trade between the two countries except for the purpose of warehousing. By Mr. Villiers—The object of the navigation-laws was in part defeated by the Warehousing Bill. Articles warehoused were not for home consumption. By Mr. Ricardo—The bulk of the articles warehoused was imported in British ships. Mr. M'Gregor, in continuation—Very great difficulties had been represented and reported to the Congress of the United States by the Committees of Commerce and Navigation, as existing in the colonial intercourse, that the ships of the United States were not on the same footing in the British colonies as British ships arriving from the colonies in any United States port. Complaints had also been made by English merchants from the Canadas and at different periods from the other colonies. They complained of the restrictions that were put upon the intercourse between the colonies and the United States. The great whale fisheries in the South Seas had certainly fallen almost entirely into American hands; but he believed that the majority of th e vesse l s em ployed in the South Sea whale fishery were employed at a loss, especially in the sperm fishery. The black-finned whale fishing was profitable. The Americans had above 700 vessels employed in the whale fishery. He did not think that the decline of the British fishery was owing to the removal of the protection ; certainly that would have been the case if the Americans retained all the oil for home consumption, but they looked more to its exportation than to home consump tion for a return. By the Chairman—The object of the 16th clause of the Navigation Act was the encouragement of British trade and navigation. It might appear at the time to have been the policy of England that every foreign country should have , a mercantile marine of its own, but its policy was quite dif ferent. He was not prepared to say that the effect of the 16th clause would be the encouragement of foreign mercantile ma rines. There was not the least difference in the principle, why it should not encourage other ships in the same manner as our own. With respect to the tariff of 1842, be could say, having had much correspondence on the subject, that a simi lar reduction of duties had been immediately made in the United States' tariff, and that in every case where relaxa tions had been made in England, a corresponding reduction had taken place in the United States. Reduction had re cently been made in many articles on which a very high duty was levied, mainly for the purpose of revenue, which he was certain had been done in consequence of the measures past last session. The cause of the decline of the British whale fishery he attributed to the much more formidable competition with the chemical discoveries, and with vegetable oils now in use. By Mr. Hume—Lord Cathcart, in a dispatch to Mr. Glad stone, dated 12th May, 1846, said that t he p ros p erit y of the British colonies on the fit. Lawrence depended mainly on an alteration of the regulations of the inland trade. Mr. M'Gregor, at Mr. Hume's desire, quoted several para graphs. from a memorial presented by the Montreal Free Trade Association against the navigation laws (the memo rial being a paper printed by order of the Housd of Com mons). Mr. M'Gregor was proceeding with the memorial, when air. Liddell objected to the evidence. The committee-room was cleared, and on our re-admission Mr. Hume said that he should not continue the examination ... on the memorial. By Mr. Ricardo —Complaints of the stringency of the ilvigation laws had been made from Russia, Prussia, Den.. mark, a the Hanse Towns, till 1842, and by the United States ) though not to this country, but in the report of the com mittees of Congress. The United States complained, in the first instance, that a British ship could go from any British port to any port in the United States, discharge part of its cargo there, and with the remainder, after filling up the room, continue her voyage from the United States to 'any British possession. They also complained of our steam ships going direct to Halifax, and from there to any port in the United States. Russia complained that we limited her trade to the direct trade between Russia and this country. Prussia's complaint was similar to that of Russia; but Prussia also complahied of the privilege granted"to the ~-~_~ United States of carrying British produce to India. Den mark complained recently of our not extending to the ships of Denmark the same privileges as to these of the Zollverein• They demanded of us the privilege of coming from certain ports in Europe, between the Meuse and the Elbe, upon the same, footing as if they came direct from Denmark. The Hanse Towns complaints had been settled by extend ing to them the same privileges as to the Zollverein. The United States complained that they might not touch at Halifax and then proceed to this country. In fact, it was the loss of the indirect trade that all these countries com plained of. By ' Mr. Liddell—Was aware that British - traders and merchants had made complaints against Russia on certain points. They complained of the port charges, of the duties levied on British ships. New Russian ships were exempted from all duty until they were three years old. Did not know that there was any hindrance to a British merchant,. able to find the requisite security, taking the Prussian con tract for salt. The salt was generally carried in Prussian ships. It might, he believed, be carried in a British ship. He was not prepared to say that the reason why it was not carried in British ships was that the Prussian ships could underbid the British ships in the freight. The great griev ance of the United States was not being permitted to trade between this country and the colonies. The colonial trade was regarded by us as a coasting trade. The privilege granted by England to the United States to trade between England and British India was rendered nugatory almost by the directors.of . the Eazt India. Company, who, in con formity with the powers entrusted to them, had imposed an additional duty of WO per cent. on goods brought in American ships. By Mr. Mitchell—The effect of the repeal of the navigation laws, so far as intercourse between Great Britain and foreign countries was concerned, would be, he' believed. that instead of a Dutch ship coining iroin the coast of Holland with the produce of Holland, or with such articles as were allowed to be imported frcm any port of Europe into thestlpited King dom,_ she might come, from any port i n F rance, o r Germany, or Belgium, or the 'other work, without' any declaration being required as to the origin of the cargo. Ships were con structed cheaper in Norway and Sweden than in England. United States ships cost evidently more than British ships„ and so did Russian. The Norwegian and Swedish vessels were also sailed cheaper than our own ; if, however, Norwegian ships were constructed for hot climates in the same solid manner as our own, they woald be dearer.—Adjourned to Thursday uext. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT at RAPE. Dpring the night between Saturday and Sunday last an occurrence of the most atrocious character took place close to the Bath Hotel, Lockwood, and which, but for timely assistance, might have ended in murder. Between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock on the above night Mr. John Ellam ' landlord of the Bath Hotel, and hi s son , John Oxley Ellam, were in their stables attending to a horse which had been brought in late that night,. when they_ were alarmed by loud shrieks of " Murder," and cries for help, proceeding from the turnpike-road nearly in front of the hotel. They instantly ran round to the front, and, when within a few yards of the spot from which the sounds proceeded, they saw three ruffians forcibly holding a female up against the wall surround ing the quoit ground, and a fourth standing at a short distance, apparently keeping a look-out or watch; there were also two " navvies" standing by, but they did not appear to touch the woman. The night being fine, and the moon shining brightly, Mr. Ella& and his son had a distinct view of the villains, and saiv one of them (who was also holding the woman) kick her a most tremendous blow on the abdomen, malting use at the same time of the most violent threats against her for not suffering him to effect his abominable purpose. One of the ruffians also held her by the throat, and the imprints of his finger nails were clearly visible for hours afterwards. On perceiving succour at hand, the ruffians let go their hold of their victim and fled, taking the road to Hu& dersfield. The poor woman then sank down from sheer exhaustion and fright, and was taken into the hotel more dead than alive ; in fact, for some time after her life was despaired of. More assistance arriving, the villains were pursued, and young Ellam, outstripping the rest by at least fifty yards, came up with the hindermost near Spring-gardens, with whom he fearlessly grappled and secured till the rest of the pursuers came up, when he was given into the custody of Horsfall, the constable. In the scuffle young Ellam was severely bit by the mis creant he had captured, but still kept hold of him with the utmost tenacity. The fellow was conveyed to th e lock-up, and proved to be one James Wood, a noto riously bad character. Horsfall, with [the assistance of the watchmen, succeeded in capturing th e o th er t wo fellows before four o'clock the same morning, and whose names are James Parkinson and Booth Sugden, dicsi " Raggy," both equally notorious bad characters, the latter in particular, who has been several times in prison at Wakefield, and all three were the most callous-looking ruffians we ever beheld. The woman having been carried into the hotel, had every attention paid to her by Mr. and Mrs. Ellam. Mr. Dow, surgeon, was sent for, who, on examining the patient, found she had received a tremendous blow on the face, closing up and blacking an eye—her neck and breasts severely bruised and scratched by the fingers and nails of the desperadoes—her sides much bruised and lacerated, and she was otherwise most dreadfully injured. On Monday morning the prisoners; were placed at the bar before 'Messrs. W. W. Bettye and J. Sutcliffe, on the charge of violently assaulting with intent, &c. The poor woman was too much injured and too ill to walk, aed was, therefore, brought in a cab to . the office to give her evidence. She stated her name to be Eliza Mathews, the wife of a miner, and that she came to Huddersfield on the previous rednesday with her husband, who was in search of work at the Lock wood tunnel. On Saturday afterncOn he went to Lock wood, but not returning at night, she set out to look for hitn, and after searching most of the public-houses in the town, she went on to Lockwood, about twelve o'clock, and was followed by the prisoners, who ill used her as before stated. The prisoners were committed to York Cststle for trial at the assize;, bail being refused. Their Worships were now somewhat at a loss how to dispose of the woman; from this dilemma they Were, however, relieved by Mr. Ellam off,rieg to provide for her at his house for Is. a day, until the assizes, and, to prevent the husband from going away, he would (being a surveyor) employ him upon the roads. The magistrates thanked Mr. Ellam for the kindness and humanity which he had displayed throughout the entire case. Too much praise cannot be given to yount , Ellam for the persevering courage he displayed in the capture of Wood; and but for the accident of he and his father being in the stables, . and- their prompt assistance at the rescue, the poor woman would, in all probability, been left dead on the road. DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN FROM POISON.—Last evening Mr. William Carter held an inquest at the Prince Regent Inn, Dulwich, respecting the death of Christopher Graham, Esq., aged 82 years, who died at his mansion, Dulwich, on Monday morning last. The deceased gentleman was for many years chief partner in the firm of Graham, Simpson, North, and Co., New Bridge-street, Blackfriars., Henry Keniance, the deceased's late footman, deposed that his master had been very ill latterly with lumbago, for which complaint he had been under the care of Mr. English, sur. geon. On Monday morning last a female servant came, and -said, " Master is very bad, and the stuff they have sent him. to take almost choked him, as be was twenty minutes in taking it." Witness then told her that she must have given him the wrong medicine. Witness ran up to the bedrOom, and found that she bad given the deceased embrocation in• stead of the draught. Mrs. Graham was instantly made acquainted with the fact, and ordered Mr. English to be sent for. lie attended with the stomach pump, but the deceased became insensible, and died in four hours afterwards. Thu lotion was labelled with directions for use. The fethale who administered the same was in the habit of being called into their bed-chamber at all times of the night, and on the pre.. sent unfortunate occasion she had in haste taken up the wrong bottle.—Arthur William English, of Foresthill, Dulwich, surgeon, stated that he was called in on the morn ing in question to see the deceased. He found the deceased gentleman lying in a partial state of coma. Witness easily detected what he had taken, and deemed it necessary to withdraw the contents of the stomach. He had swallowed a large quantity of the embrocation or liniment, which con sisted of laudanum, camphor, and ammonia. NV itnees m a d e him acquainted with -the Melancholy fact, but he soon be came insensible after the use of the stomach pump. Irri tation came on, which was followed by inflammation of the stomach, which resulted from the ammonia. He continued to sink, and died about noon from the effects of poison.

SUICIDE AT WATERLOO BRIDGE.—OR Wednesday night Mr. Payne held an adjourned inquest at the Vestry hall, Horsleydown, on the body of Mary Ann Simmonds, aged thirty-four„ who committed suicide, by throwing her self off Waterloo-bridge. Laura Jones said she had known the deceased several years, by having been formerly under the protection of Mr. Plummer, the late Mayor of Canter bury. The last time she saw the deceased alive was about half-past one on Tuesday morning, Jan. 5, when she told ; witness that she had got a favourite bird and a writing desk belonging to Mr. Plummer, and she was very glad. i She then seemed very much excited about it. Witness r knowing that since the death of Mr. Plummer she was very mu ch reduced in circumstances, asked her if she would come on the morrow and take tea, but she only smiled and shook her head. She was not seen after that by any of her relations alive. The deceased, who lived with Mr. Plummet thirteen years, always passed as his wife, and on his death s , about a year and a-half back, she fretted very much. After his death his family gave the deceased forty pounds, and'got possession of all Mr. Plummer's papers. Eliza Russell, of 36, Crown-street, Soho, the deceased's sister, gave corrobo rative evidence; and, in addition, said the deceased, owing to her altered circumstances , was much depressed in mind, and had threatened to drown herself. On being missed witness went to the station at Bow-street, and there ascer tained that a female, whom, from the description she gave as to her clothing, she bad no doubt was her sister who was seen on the morning she left Mrs. Jones's to jump off Water. 100-bridge. Efforts to save her were ineffectual. From other evidence it appeared that the body was found in the river,off Cotton's wharf, on the morning of the 2d Inst. In the absence of positive proof of the deceased being the person who jutitped off the bridge, the jury returned an open verdict of " Edund drowned."
