GENTLEMEN, IT is now fifteen years since I first had the honour of being return e d to Parliament as one of the representatives the°l your ancient and important Borough, upon principles wh ich, at t time, w ere regarded by many as visionary and impra cticable ; bat which have since, with f ew exceptions, been adopted by the Government of the country, and have received the sanction of the Legislature. In 1841 Parliament was dissolved upon a vote of no confidence in a Liberal Administration, in order to avoid the change contemplated by it in the corn-laws and other important points. The Immediate result of the el ec ti on w hi ch fo ll owe d was a very large majority in favour of the Protectionist party ; a majority, however, which gra dually decreased until in the year 1845 and 1846, Sir Robert Peel, aided by the representatives of Liberal constituencies, was enabled o carry out the very measures, the advocacy of which had previously overthrown the Government of 1841. Since that period, Sir Robert Peel having declined to carry on the administration, a Liberal Go vernment has once more been restored to power. The paramount duty of the electors at the approaching e'ections will be to return as their represen,tatives the tried pr, rooters of sound Principles of general reform. in order that the advantages which have been already gained by the popular party may be improved and carried out to their legitimate extent for the advantage of the country. Among these I may remind you of your vote by ballot, more frequent Parliaments, a thorough reform in church government, and the repeal of those taxes which press too heavily on the people and Impede the commerce of this great empire. These will all the successively attained; but it will be only by perseverance in return ing those men to Parliament - who have hitherto successfully sup- Ported measures of similar tendency, that these great and important objects can be secured. In offering myself for the fifth time as a Candidate for your suf thges, I venture to solicit your renewed confidence and support on the same principles which have been, and which always will be, the guide of my conduct as a public man, :tad which I believe are cal culated to secure the best interests of the nation. Your local interests wiil continue to have my earnest and energetic support, as I cannot but feel Use warmest interest in everything that concerns the welfare and advantage of the borough of Southwark. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient bumble Servant, JOHN HUMPHERY. Southwark, July 7, 1847.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacnELL.) BROMLEY V. THE EASTERN•COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. The plaintiff in this case sought compensation in da mages for certain injuries sustained whilst a passenger on the Eastern Counties Railway. Judgment had been suffered to go by default, and a writ of inquiry was now executed fur the assessment of damages. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bramwell were for the plaintiff; and the Attorney-General (with whom was Mr. E. James) appeared for the company. The pleadings were opened by Mr. BRAMWELL. The plaintiff in the first count claimed compensation fur in juries sustained, and in the second count for the loss and deprivation of the care and assistance of his wife in his domestic affairs and business, she having been injured at the same time. The plaintiff laid the damages at 5,0001. Mr. Sergeant SHEE stated the case. The plaintiff, Mr. N. Bromley, had for years carried on the business near fmatlo which townbrewer,tster be held a and corn farm of Colchester , acres. On the 18th of J u ly l as t the plaintiff wife took their seats i n th e E astern Counties Railway to come to London from C o l c h es t er . It would seem that upwards andof 2hsios when near the Romford station a train, composed of trucks, was found to be ahead of the train, which train was turned into a siding and the passenger train, in which the plaintiff and hi 3 wife were, passed, on which the driver of the truck train followed. The passenger train was due at the Shoreditch station at a quarter to four o'clock, and the driver of the truck train regulated his speed somespeeil cause or to givethe other, other thetrain time to arrive ; but, from de layed near the Stratford- s t a ti on , and passenger no given to warn the truck t ra i n o f danger, it ran into the passenger train, and smashed to atoms several of the signalstrain was being carriages, causing the loss of one life and considerable destruction of property, The plpintiff's legs were frightfully crushed, in addition to which he received a severe contusion on the right eye. The plaintiff, when extricated from the broken carriages, was taken to th e as Stratford edsi s tt t ei a or t n : tswhohnneperpeoe of the d s h e w t hp i a f a e t s s w me a nr s g. eH I , n v g ea nn i sd n_ , baaeni surgeonnignset hne least injured, he rendered his assistance to the sufferers. Other medical aid was procured by the officers of the company. The plaintiff and his wife were subsequently removed to Colchester. He should prove that the plaintiff was confined to his bed for a period of 24 weeks with this fractured leg, and other injuries ; his leg was still in a bad state, and it was probable that he would be a cripple for life. He (Mr. Sergeant Shee) was of opinion, which opinion, he believed, was entertained by the public, that the frequency of accidents OD this line arose from the parsimony of the company, who wished to put money into the pockets of the share holders ; they had bad engines, driven by boys instead of men. _ _ _ Mr. Havens, surgeon at Colchester ; Mr. Liston, the eminent surgeon ; Mr. Dalrymple, surgeon ; Mr. Par tridge, surgeon, and other medical gentlemen, were ex amined on the injuries sustained by the plaintiff. Other evidence was given, showing that the injuries received had prevented the plaintiff from attending to his business, from which cause it had considerably diminished. The medical and other expenses had amounted to 2501. In the course of the examination it came out that about four years ago the plaintiff was made a bankrupt, and had paid no dividend. His brother, who was one of the witnesses in the present action, was the petitioning creditor to the fiat. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was heard in mitigation of damages. He said the company deplored the occurrence which had given rise to the present action, and by not pleading thy had admitted their liability to make com pensation for the injuries sustained. With that admis sion, however, they did not feel inclined to let any person, although a sufferer, dip his hands into their pockets and take what he pleased as compensation. Ho (the At- torney-General) was instructed to ask the jury to award a liberal sum, but the jury would be guided in their award by the facts which had a pp e ared in evidence. There could be no doubt that the m ost had been made of the accident which had happened to the plaintiff. He had to inform the jury that immediately after the accident the company had sent down Mr. Bransby Cooper to attend the sufferers, and to offer liberal terms of compensation ; and from his report on the present case, they had thought it their duty to contest his claims to compensation. The company had afforded compensation to the other sufferers; and this was the only case in which a jury had been called upon to deter mine the amount. Mr. Sergeant SUEE said his Learned Friend was mistaken; he had been in a case before against the company for one of the passengers on the same oc casion. _ _ ------- The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that they were most anxious in this, as in the other instances, to afford full and fair compensation. his Learned Friend had made a charge in his opening speech against the com pany of employing boys instead of men, and of using de ficient engines. Such, however was not the fact, and its fallacy was quite apparent. It was the interest of the company to protect the public, and they could not expect public support unless they gave confidence to the public in their means of transit. The company were but the representatives of a large body of shareholders, of whose interests they were but the trustees; and it was their duty to see that the plaintiff received nothing beyond what in strict justice he was entitled to. lie was in structed to say, that the company wished that full and liberal damages should be given in this case. The jury would then calculate the losses proved to have been sus tained, and in addition they would afford a reasonable compensation for personal suffering—less was not wished, and more their sense of justice would prevent them from awarding. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF, in his direction to the jury, told them that by law the defendants were clearly liable to make the plaintiff a f u ll and fair comp ensation for the injuries he had re ce i ve d, but they would take care to guard their feeli ngs f rom any They would consider th e degree of neglig ence of the parties, and give a fai r compensation for t he in j uries, both pecuniary and pers ona l, w hi c h the plainti ff had un doubtedly sustained. improper bias. inutes assessed The jury retired, and i n a b ou t t e n m the damages at 6501.

BRUSSELS, JULY 7.—The corn market was but scan tily supplied this morning. There were only about 300 sacks, which were sold with slight variations from last market prices. There is reason to be astonished at such a result, as there is everywhere a general tendency to decline. The diminution in the price of potatoes gives general satisfaction. The lowest price to-day was 9f. 50c. per 100 kilogrammes, in retail they s.ll at from 9 to 10 centimes per kilo gramme. It is difficult to form an idea of the magni ficent aspect of the harvest, which holds out the most promising results. In the environs of Brussels they have already commenced cutting the rye and barley ; corn, in general, of all kinds pro mises to be infinitely superior to preceding years ; the stubble, likewise, has never been stronger or finer. There have been abundant crops of hay, and the vegetables have been more than usually abundant throughout Brabant, while the general appearance of the potato fields has dispelled every fear. MUNICH, JULY 3.—The more favourable state of the weather during the past week has prevented the antici pated rise in our market this day, and again contra dicted, as has often been the case, the supposition that the markets of Erding and Landshat were to regulate the prices of ours. There were 3,311 bushels of wheat and 2,362 of rye in the market. The demand was very considerable, not in the way of trade, but of consumption, for throughout the country, with the exception of Lower Bavaria, there is a great want of flour corn,especially of rye. The considerable and continued delivery, at reduced prices, on the part of the Government and the civil intitutions of Wurtemberg, has put a stop to the buying up in this department, and hence we have reason to hope that this will be the last market before the approaching harvest—that is to say, if this fine weather continues — at which such high prices will be paid. ANTWERP, JULY B.—The state of the market was more favourable to-day ; but very little business was transacted, in consequence of the want of means of trans port.—Brussels Papers, July 9. COTTON MANUFACTURES IN MEXICO.—The Giornal lede Llobd Austriaeo states, that the cotton trade of Mexico is increasing in importance every day. There exist at present, in the province of Mexico, twelve spin ning factories, with 30,156 spindles in full operation ; in that of Pueblo twenty-one, with 35,672 spindles in ope ration, and 12,240 in course of construction ; in that of Vera Cruz seven, with 17,860 in operation, and 5,200 in course of construction ; in that of Guadulajara five, with 11,312 in operation, and 6,500 in course of construction ; in that of Queretaro two, with 7,620 ; in that of Du rango four, with 6,520 ; in that of Guaninato one, with 1,200 ; and in that of Sonora one, with 1,000 ; in all, 53 spinning factories, with 135,280 spindles, of which 23,940 are in course of construction. The daily con- sumption of cotton (continues our Italian contemporary), is at present 39,7551 b., and it will increase to 48.6221 b., when all the projected spindles are constructed ; the daily production of yarn now amounts to 35,780, of the value of 39,353 reals. The number of spinning estab lishments in operation amounts to 8,753, employing al together 17,000 persons. The annual consumption amounts to 14,586,6661 b., and as the indigenous pro• duction only amounts to 50,000 quintals, it follows that there is a deficiency of about 95,666 quintals. In order partly to cover this deficiency the importation of 60,000 quintals has been allowed at a duty of six reals per quintal. The carriage from Vera Cruz to Mexico—a distance of about 94 leagues, which is traversed by muleteers (carrieros) in 18 to 20 days—is from 18 to 22 reals per load of four animals and upwards. The im portation of cotton yarn and cotton tissues of not more than 30 threads woof in a square of a quarter of an inch, is prohibited. Smuggling is carried on exten sively, especially on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. TilE Jon AND POST MASTERS, &C., PROVIDENT FUND.—On Saturday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, s i t n h s e tit g u e t n io e n ral was annual meeting held atlies o ir f the members Messrs. s o u f y t d h e i park-corner, Mr. Richard Tattersall in the chair. The chairman proceeded to read over the report of the directors, which congratulated the members on the increasing success of the institution, and showed that from its commencement, July 1839, to the present time (eight years), no less a sum than 6,7401., was invested in Consols. Also that many persons in the trade who had hitherto withheld their support were now as anxious to become members of the institution. The treasurer's account was also read, which being quite sstisfactory, Mr. Dickinson moved, " That the report now read be adopted, and printed for circulation Mr. `tyke seconded the resolution, which was put, and carried unanimously. Mr. Deacon and Mr. Mallalue, two of the retiring direc tors, were then re-elected, and Mr. J. Shenton and Mr. Dewsbury were elected directors in the stead of the other two who retired, and after the other business of the meeting was concluded, the usual vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and also to the directors and auditors for their respective active and effi cient services. Mr. Deacon then rose and said he thought the meeting ought not to separate without mentioning the services rendered by Mr. Clarke, the secretary. He should therefore move, " That the best thanks of the meeting be given to the secretary, and that the like gratuity which was given to him last year be offered to him this, for his great exertions in the be half of the institution." This resolution was seconded by Mr. Tattersall, and carried unanimously. The chair man then said the business of the meeting was now concluded. He hoped that every member would strive to add to the numbers of the institution, as they must be convinced of its favourable results. AMERICAN PnovistoNs.—The American line of packet-ship Switzerland, arrived in the London Docks from New York, has brought 11, 310 bushels of wheat, 4,342 bushels of oats, 68 barrels of pork, 16 packages of hams and tongues, 76 hogsheads and 101 boxes of bacon, 804 packages of lard, 1,211 barrels of flour, 150 barrels and 540 boxes of bread and biscuits, several packages of beef and other articles, the produce of the United States of America. This is another instance illustrative of the fact, that the American line of packet passenger ships trading to and from New York, bring large quantities of grain as part of their cargoes at the present time, in preference to the usual description of Ameri can merchandise, which had hitherto formed the greater proportion of the whole. A peculiar description of meat, which is brought from the United States in large quantities, especially at the port of Liverpool, has lately been the subject of notice, in consequence of its detention by the officers of the revenue for duty.

INTREPID CONDUCT OF A FEMALE.—At Troy town, Rochester, on Friday last, a child, ten months old, in the absence of its parents, crept into the garden, and approaching a deep well, slipped in. The girl who had charge, missing it, ran to the well immediately, and seeing the infant at tl , e bottom, without hesitating, lowered the bucket, and descended by the rope the depth of 63 feet, when she succeeded in grasping the child. The neighbours arrived, and the child was pulled up, nearly dead. Dr. Adam Martin rendered every assist ance to the infant, which is much bruised about the body, and the girl, in descending by the rope, suffered fieNiuus injury jp her hands.

The light on the Post-office shows white to the back alone, to give light to the guard to adjust the bags. When we got to the bridge the driver blew his whistle. It was about 30 or 40 yards off the bridge. Ile shut off the steam too. It was rather sooner than usual. I saw a white light. I felt a jerk as we passed the points, but I did not know we were in the siding. I only knew something was wrong. The whistle was sounded again. I screwed the breaks down. I did not see any ono at the points, for I was thrown from the break by the jerk for an instant. I recovered myself di rectly, and in a few seconds the collision took place, and I was knocked down. Cross-examined—There are two breaks. There might be more, of course, and then the train might have been stopped sooner. There was a continuous whistle. There are two points, but I do not know that there are three on the side. Mr. F. Smith—l am inspector of police from Rhode to Wolverton, 15 miles. Fossey joined December 13, 1846. He had been placed on probation for a fortnight, under another constable, at the Blue-bridge. He had been left to himself since January. A white buffer light denotes a passenger train. It is then his duty to signal green to the station, when that is answered by a green hand-light. He is aware then that the station is clear, and he shows a white light to the train. If any thing is in the way, they answer him with red, and he ought to show red to the train, and it would stop. A white light coming can be seen three-quarters of a mile from that station. If a luggage-train arrives he shows no light to the station, but a green one to the train, after which he shows the green hand-light to the train, and goes down to the points. If a passenger train, he has no business to leave the signal—he would show his white hand-light to the train. When the ac cident happened I was at home. I went to the station and ran up the cutting to the bridge to stop the York mail. I found it had stopped. I looked for Fossey, who had been sent back to stop any train which might be coming. I found him at the rear of the train, and said, "Good God, Fossey! what could have made you tarn the train into the siding?" He made no answer at first, and I thought he was drunk. I turned my light on his face, and found he was sober. He then said, " I dun't know; my watch deceived me; she's 12 minutes before the mail." I took his watch, and on examination it turned out to be four minutes slow. I took him into custody. He said, " Very well, sir. Are there any lives lost?" I said, " I don't know." He answered, "If there are not, you may transport ma at once. Send me out of the country; that's just what I want." I asked him if ho had shown the red light to the guard, as he passed? He said "No; that the lights had deceived him." He thought it had been the goods train. Cross-examined—l hare seen the Post-office light; it may be seen for 200 yards. I have been 18 months on this railway. Joseph Hudson—l am a policeman at Wolverton. My duty is to ring a bell when a train is signalled by a green light. I answer the signal first by waving my white light, to show that the way is clear. If it is not I show a red light. I saw a green light shown by Fossey that night, and rang the bell at once, without waiting for the signal to me from the other man. He was then engaged in moving an engine, and could not convey the signal to me, so I took the signal from Fossey direct, and rang my bell to prepare the station. Cross-examined—The prisoner bad charge of two signals. and ought to have kept up his green light till it was answered. If they don't answer, he ought to show a green light to the train. Re-examined—Duncan is the man at the signal-station near the station. He is not here to-day. He was engaged in moving an engine at another point under his care. James E. M'Connell—l am superintendent of the lo comotive department. The points are worked by a handle attached to a weight, which keeps the points open. When the handle is pressed the weight is raised, and the points close on the main rails and direct the train. This machinery may get out of order by accident, but it is most improbable that such was the case here. By the JUDGE—On the Great Western the sidings are entered on a different principle. The train must stop and then go back. It is a balance of evils, and ours is considered by many to be the safer of the two principles. Mr. Parker—l examined the carriages after the acci dent. The fourth carriage had mounted the third and lifted the top off. The fore wheels were off and the hind wheels on the rails. The fourth carriage had carried all the passengers to the end of the fifth carriage. There were ten altogether, and seven were dead. The bodies were jambed in under the axle. Thomas Ogden—l saw Fostey give the signal. lie seemed to do it coolly and properly. Cross-examined—l afterwards saw him with his red light on the line, to warn the next lines. The last train was composed of empty cattle trucks. They stopped in the siding. Fossey turned them in, and I turned them off at the middle point after they had watered. Reexamined—l did not expect a goods train then, and it was not my duty to hold a middle point there, but on the opposite side, whero I gave a signal to the driver. Alfred Blott—l am a station• master at Wolverton. I saw the York train pass the points safely after the acci dent. They were all right then. William Clifton identified the body of John Lambert Clifton.at the station on the 7th of June. Mr. Gent—l am a surgeon at Stoney Stratford, and was also a passenger by this train in the first second class carriage. I heard the whistle, and felt the jerk on passing the points. Next came the collision, which threw me forward on my face. After the ccllision I got out, and saw the dead bodies. Among them was that of John Lambert Clifton. I saw Mr. Clifton recognise one of the bodies as that of his son. The death was caused by suffocation by congestion of the lungs. The breast bone was fractured and the ribs, which caused his death, and those injuries arose from the collision. This being the case for the prosecution. Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. lie said, the question for them was, whether this lamentable accident had originated in the careless ness of the prisoner. Now, the superintendent had given him a character for good conduct; he was sober and at his post at the time, so that he was clearly not neglecting his duty, which had been fully explained by the witnesses for the prosecution. When the signal was made by him he did his duty; and his account of the matter was, that that signal was not announced properly. No doubt he was perplexed at the absence of an answer, and having very little time to go back to the up signal before the train came past, he might easily have mistaken it for a goods train, which might be knot;in by the purple lights at the tail. Now it was proved that this train carried an extra light for the Post-office carriage, which was painted crimson. It had once occurred that a goods train came in with a white light; so that being possible again, in human arrangements it might well be conceived that the prisoner should come to the conclusion that he had mistaken the character of the train, and that it was his duty to open the siding. This he accordingly did, and as he must have held the points open while the train passed, he must have become aware of his mistake. Had he taken fright at that] moment and released the handle, it is impossible to conceive what consequences would have followed. He, however, held on, and showed won derful presence of mind in so doing, and it would be for the jury to say whether on the whole the prisoner had done more than make a mistake, to which all men are liable—and as he had been shown to have conducted him self carefully and considerately before the accident, he (Mr. Prendergast) felt sure that the jury would take that circumstance into their consideration, and acquit him of any carelessness in the discharge of his duty on this unfortunate occasion. Mr. Baron ALDERSON then briefly summed up the whole evidence as explaining the duty of the man sta tioned at the Blue-bridge, and the particular line of con duct adopted by the prisoner. The result of this was, that, there being three courses to pursue, the prisoner had not correctly followed either the one or the other; and the main question for the jury was, whether the pri soner, who must be taken to have turned the mail train into the siding, had done so in neglect of his duty. Jf without reasonable, proper, and ordinary care the pri soner had committed such a breach of his plain duty, as had been proved, he was liable to this charge. If by care lessness he mistook the mail train for a goods train, and by carelessness diverted it into the siding where it ought not to go, the jury ought to find him guilty; but if they had any reasonable doubt whether he turned the train into the siding, or mistook the train with any reasonable and fair excuse for so doing, then he was entitled to an acquittal. The jury having deliberated for a short time returned this verdict:—" We find the prisoner Guilty, but we blame the company for not keeping two men at the posts." The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner, who, he said, had been most properly convicted by the jury of carelessness in the discharge of his duty. He ought to have waited for an answer to his signal, and to have exercised more caution and eare in distinguishing between a goods train and one carrying passengers. It might be that he had too much to attend to ; but still he ought, therefore, to exercise the more caution and care before taking so decided a step as to turn a train which he had signaled as a mail train into the siding. If he had too much to do, it was his duty t himself, and the public too, to decline the duty himself, e ; but if a man accepted such a place, he ought n t c o e b of doubly careful, diligent, and attentive. The abse those qualities had here been mar ked by the most pain ful loss of life. Seven people h ad been killed from this simple neglect of duty ; and though the prisoner had borne an excellent character , he (Mr. B ver Alderson ) dict on this thought it incumbent on him to visit the occasion with a heavy sentence, in order that people in his situation might be informed that neglect of . duty which led to loss of life would be most se l ver y punished. This was necessary for the protection of the public, and the sentence upon the prisoner, therefore, was, that be should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. With this case terminated the Buck Assizes. The court was most excessively hot and crowded during the trial of this case, which was watched throughout by many officials connected with this railway.

Ravenshaw and Edward C. Ravenshaw, brothers, residing at Suffield-house, Richmond, and de scribed on the charge sheet as gentlemen, were brought before Sir J. Baker, Bart., Sir Thomas Reeve, Knight, and Mr. E. Penryn, to answer the following serious charges : Daniel Hunt, a police-constable, of the V division, stated that a quarter before one o'clock that morning he was on duty on Richmond-hill, when he saw two gen tlemen coming; one of them whom he bad since ascer tained to be the defendant Thomas Ravensham, climbed up a lamp post, broke the glass with his fist, and extin guished the light. He followed them to the next lamp post, when the other defendant, Edward Ravenshaw, got up that, and extinguished its light also. He then took them both into custody. He secured the defendant Thomas, but his brother got away. On the way to the station witness met with Sergeant Edwards, who as sisted him in conveying the defendant Thomas to the station. He was very violent all the way. His brother Edward met them in Church-lane, and witness took him again into custody. He went very quietly. Defendant Thomas struck witness after he had got into the station, and drew from his pocket a large Spanish clasp knife, which he brandished about, and swore that he would run into any policeman that came near him. Witness and the other policeman had great difficulty in disarm ing the defendant of this murderous weapon, the blade of which was more than six inches in length, and when opened fixed with a spring. Sergeant Edwards stated that hearing a noise on Richmond-hill he went up and found the defendant Thomas struggling with the last witness. Recognizing the defendant, he begged him to go quietly, but he said he would not for all the police in Richmond. At the bottom of the hill he became exceedingly violent, and they fell down together. He then said, "If he could get at his knife he would rip his out, there was not such a set of in the world as the police of Richmond." Defendant went on pretty quietly till he got to Long-lane, a narrow passage with two high walls, when he tried to knock his head against the wall, say ing, " I'll knock your brains out against the wall." They struggled and fell several times, thence through Church-passage and George-street, to the station. The defendant resisted violently, and witness was so ex hausted by being repeatedly thrown that he could hardly drag the defendant into the station. The defendant was not drunk, but he had been drinking. He saw the de fendant brandish the knife in the station-house, and assisted in taking it from him. Police-constable Fullbrook, 235 V, proved that the defendant Thomas Ravenshaw, when in the station house deliberately jumped up from his seat, and struck him a tremendous blow on the eye. George Smith, an inspector of lamps, proved that four lamps were broken that night. Mr. PENRYN, the chairman, said there were no less than three offences against the defendants—viz., break ing the street lamps, extinguishing the lights, and as saulting the police. With respect to the last charge, that affected the defendant, Thomas Ravenshaw, only, and he must say, that he had never had to adjudicate upon a more ruffianly and violent outrage. had it not been that Dr. Julius had declared that he was not master of his own actions when excited, by reason of an affection of the heart, he should have sent him for trial; as it was, he would pay 51. for the assault. 21 . for extinguishing the lamp, and 17s. 6d. damages and costs. The other de fendant would pay 21. for extinguishing the light, and 7s. 6d. costs.—The fines were paid. THE FATAL 'DUEL AT CAMDEN. TOWN FOUR YEARS AGO. SURRENDER OF LIEUTENANT MUNRO. Yesterday, at about eleven o'clock, while Mr. Long, the sitting magistrate at Marlborough Police-court, was engaged in the disposal of some charges of trifling im portance, a person of military appearance entered the court, accompanied by another gentleman. He stated that he was Lieutenant Munro, and that he had come to surrender himself, in order that he might take his trial for the unfortunate duel in which Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett fell. It will be fresh in the recollection of the public, that the duel which resulted so fatally took place four years ago in a field adjacent to the Brecknock Arms, Camden town, when Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, owing to a wound which he received, lingered for a short time and then died. An inquest was held by Mr. Wakley upon the body, and after two or three adjournments, the jury returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against Lieut. Munro, as the principal, and against three other gen tlemen as accessories ; the latter ultimately gave themselves up, and after being tried at the Central Criminal Court were acquitted. Lieutenant Munro absconded, and a warrant for .his apprehension was at one period in the hands of Hooker, a warrant officer of this court. said he .would the s Mr. Chambers, an inspector present , endeavour to ascertain, if possible, w hose liana warrant remained. He retired, and in the course of an hour returned, having been una ble to obtain the neces sary information. only o n reducednecessary haMveriiLeuontegnewn'atsmofuouproin,lovnoltuhuattairtywoadsmoinels writing and signed. he al t a a w te s m o en f t Mr. tuhnercol,erwkh,ot,hen took down w th n e from the lips throughout_.brief proceedings, warrant was out o f Phillips, Lieutenant seemed mush dejected, ue t r h smt e oyo f sd o e l l l f o t w h in t following my country, ag:'inlstammehhafevorrienkgtiolling Colonel Fawcett in a duel, and I have come forward voluntarily from Dresden to surrender Ind take my trial.

It appears that three young gentlemen, while walking through a field belonging to Mr. R. Clarke, farmer and maltster, adjoining the Bilton-road, went into a shed to enjoy a cigar, when a spark set fire to some loose straw, which rapidly communicated with the I shed, and the whole was soon in flames.

" Gentlemen—l sincerely regret that I cannot conAall, to you in my own language the expression of my thiennt for this hospitable reception. I wish I could utter &Is the gratitude I feel towards the president, in Aug first place, for the too favourable terms in which he be g proposed the toast of my health, and t i' . all for the cordial manner in which it has been - re . ceived. If I were better acquainted with Frenchea_e_ would be appropriate to address you in a language wb seeres destined to become the medium of comenunicae N !' throughout the civilised world, for I am speaking to as . al! tives of almost every nation in Europe. T his meeting seems to realise, on a small scale, my ideas of aim stilt of free trade—fcr here are indiridaals from allawr all collieries, assembled round one table partakinia': a r t friendship of the bounties of neaure ; and alt I desire. as • le fauedr to see the same amicable feeling pervade the vi of mankind. I never feel inure pleasure, or Onel rsPa self more at home, than when in the middle of re COW • . pany of merch an t s , a d orne d like the present, by La n " science. I was bred a man of business myself. Lt, m. my public career, I have possessed some small aptita la9 for those questions of a p in a ractical kind Are now the orde r o f t h e d ay i n En land .f.speeches' I have relied more o ~ n facts than oeclamation ; more ou figures of arithmetic than on fi of speecb--1. gures hate it to my having begun my life in a cetentinga house. If our league against the corn-laws watts car ried on with perseverance an d w i t h confidence and good faith were presesivestdeml;elte implicit the subscribers of the vast fund which was expended e itt our agitation, I attribute it very much to the fact that the prominent members of the league were all men of business, who carried the order and industry of euerchants and manufacturers into the management of a p u blic contest;—for the league was, I believe, the first political movement in English history which was not led by aristocratic chiefs. But I feel especial gratifica tion in meeting the merchants of Leghorn, because your city affords the best possible illustration of the advantages of the principle which I advocate. Two centuries and a half ago, the ground on which Leghorn is built was, I believe, pronounced an uninhabitable swamp. The sovereign of this country resolved to apply a charm which should render this spot healthful and popnloue ;—he gave it liberty—not only of commerce. but of conscience. Ho bestowed free trade and a perfect religious tolerance upon Leghorn, and this, too, at s time when the fires of the Inquisition were still burning its some neighbouring countries. The result is before us in the splendid city whose commerce extends to every part of the globe. But the present time affords striking arguments in favour of our principles everywhere. In the middle of the scarcity which afflicts so to nations, what is the universal remedy resorted to by aoveraments ? Free trade. If, in the crisis of a malady, our medicine is found to be the only remedy, why not resort to a dose before the disease has reached its height ? See, with what marvellous force the prmcip • • le of liberty operates for the salvation of nations threatened with famine No sooner is the trade is corn declared free, than ships are seen exploring every port, however remote, to brin' t. ¢ food to the starring Irish, and other nations of Europe. I have heard of a thou sand ships, of every flag, passing into the Black Sea in four days. What power on earth but that of liberated commerce could undertake tti‘e task of finding food for millions of people ? Governm,,nts have ac knowledged their powerlessness—charity s hrunk aghast k from the task. But free trade has accomplished that hich statesmen and philanthropists despaired t accom pr.'sh. The energies which commerce puts forth for the benefit of humanity are not suffieli nay appre ciated by society. It is the fashion to regard it only as the pursuit of private gain. We are told that the merchant who is occupied solely in buying in the cheapest market and selling in the dearest, is consulting an ex clusive and selfish interest. What is the meaning of buying cheap and selling dear ? The merchant goes to a place where an article is cheap, because it is abundant, and he carries it to another where it i 3 dear, because it is scarce; he is thus engaged in Jistributing equally to all men the bounties of the Creator. True, it may be profitable to him to do so. But what does this prove. but that Providence has wisely made it con sistent with our interest to carry out the rerposes of nature, and that we consult our own Welfare by con sulting the interests of humanity? Gentlemen, can not take my departure from the soil of Tuscany without expressing the gratification I have experienced in Isla I have seen, and in the men I have known, since I have been in this country, so famous for its contributions to the arts, sciences, and literature. I may add, how much I have been delighted and surprised to find so great a sympat hy, not only in Tuscany, but throughout Italy, for the refo:lns which we have accomplished in Eng land. I have .`leard the eloquent allusions made by the president to the present awakening of public opinion in this peninsula. It not within my province to allude more particularly to your domestic concerns. I have made it a rule to abstain from all such allusions everywhere I have a strong conviction that foreigners cannot with advantage mix themselves up with the concerns of other countries. I should wish to see every nation left to manage its own affairs. There has been a great deal too much of foreign inter ference in many countries. I do not allude to uuy Government in particular, nor do I except my own, for I think that England has interfered abroad more than has been advantageous to herself or other nations. There is an excellent proverb, which says, A fool knows more of what is passing in • his own house, than the wise man does of that which passes in the house of his neighbour.' In my opinion, the only duty which an independent community owes to the rest of the world is to set a rood example. But whilst I say this, I may be allowed to add that I shall always feel the strongest sympathy in all that concerns the prosperity of Italy ; and what I have seen convinces me that the country which has twice given the impress of its civilis ation to the world, contains within itself the means of its own renovation. Let me, in conclusion, ask to be al lowed to propose a toast to the health of the worthy descendant of Peter Leopold, the present Grand Duke Leopold 11. REFORM DINNER IN PARIS. The National says, " 1,200 electors of Paris assembled yesterday (Friday) afternoon, at the Château Rouge, to make a remarkable demonstration in favour of electoral reform. The spectacle was magnificent. The most perfect order did not prevent the expression of the warmest sentiments. We confine ourselves, at present, to a description of the general impression. It was most excellent. _ _ " The assembly was constituted after the model of the central committee of electors, which organized and directed it with as much zeal as intelligence. The great majority of the Opposition deputies figured there beside the representatives of the Paris press and of that of the departments. The Marseillaise hymn was executed by a full band, and was loudly applauded. We shall after to-morrow give a detailed account of the orators and their speeches. They were all applauded by an assembly animated by a patriotic fire such as will ever animate any meeting invoked in recol lection of the principles of the French revolution. M.
