The Ripon has ninety seven passenger s , amost whom were Lord Elphinstone, Sir Harry and L a d y S mit h Hon. Colonel Ashbumblim, Colonel Reid and lady. . Immediately on the arrival of the Ripon with Sir H. Smith on board, the church bells sent forth a merry peal, and as the vessel entered the docks, a &elute was fired from the platform battery. Thousands of . persons congregated to witness tbe interesting sight, it having been intimated some days pvevi ouhly that the Gallant General would be received with due hotiourby the . aut horities ; the Mayor (W.

PETITION OF - THOMAS BARBER FRIG HT That the partial failUre of the crops has caused an un prec,dented importation of food. That this combination of causes threatens a more serious derangement of the exchanges of the currency than at. any former period. The fact is alSo before your Honourable House, that the enormous increase of monetary obligations conse quent on the development of: industry, the accumulation of wealth, the increased rentals of enlarged cities, the creation of railways, and a thousand other modes requir ing increased monetary facilities, would render any re duction of our monetary means incalculably more disastrous than on any former occasions. The fact is also before your Honourable house, that in the monetary crisis of 1825 and 1836, the Bank of England stiil retained the discretionary powers of regu lating her issues; and when many great establishments had closed, and when the rewait:der of these foundations of our commercial system were about to give way; when we were declared by a Minister of the Crown to be within fortpeight hours of barter; within that brief period when the law of debtor and creditor would have virtualy ceased; the payment of wages, and the exercise of industry would have been impossible; and the means of existence of society would have failed; then the Bank of England, by large and timely issues, stayed the ruin and averted the impending anarchy. But in the session of 1844 y Our Honourable House passed the complement Error Bill of the great Error Bill of 1819. substituting an inelastic cord for tho elastic cord by which the Bill of ,1819 bound the -Bank of England. Under the law of 1844 the Bank hits no power to save. She' can only add to her issues of notes by her command over her gold, which she entirely loses in the hour of need. The ruin must therefore hold on its destructive course. _ .

London : John Churchill, Princee-street, Soho. the.borough of Birmingham, Showeth,--That your petitioners regard with great apprehension the opilirations of an Act passed in the seventh and eighth sears'ef the reign of her pr esent Majesty. intitJed, An Ct to regulate - t he issue of Bank -notes, and fur givin g t o die Governorand Conipany of the 131iik of England certain privileges fo ra certain perieti;" and your peti t i oners are therefore anxious to csll the serious atteotiou of your Honourable li-use to the injurious if:wt. v‘.rcii the carrying out of the Act has already priviticed upon the monetary and mercantile and tradirer interests of the nation, and to the still more injurious effects which ate likely to result from the fur ther continuance of its eperati ns. Your petitioners would. remind your Honourible House, thlit the aforesaid Act. has been stated to he a " complement" of other meriAire„-Eaving for their ob ject the regulation of the currency this country by the Bank of England and the other banks of the country, and was passed by your Honoarsble House, under the plea that it " would mitigate or terminate those evils which have at various times afflicted the country in consequence of rapid fluctuations in the amount and value of the me dium of exchange," and" put a check o n s p eculation, and insure, so far as legislation can insur e, the j ust re ward of industry, a nd the legitimate profit of commereial enterprise, conducted with integrity, and controlled by provident calculation." That the system of which the Bill of 1844 is said to be the complement, prat:sties to regulate the circulating medium of this .country by the influx and efflux of bul lion: when the Bank of England holds a large quantity of bullion it can issue an abundance of credit money; but, in proportion as the bullion decreases, the Bank is compelled to diminish the amount of its credit money. The true uses of credit money are, in the opinions of your petitioners, thus reversed; for when the country is in a position to do without the aid of the Bank credit, then the Bank can furnish it, most abundantly; bet when credit money is realty required, the Bank is compelled Order read for resuming adjourned Debate on Question (17th March)" That the Bill be now rea , i a second titne :" question again proposed ; Debate resumed ; Amendment proposed, to leave out the word "now," and at the en of the _Question to add the words " upon this day six months:"—Question put, " l'hat the word ' now' stand part of the Question :" The House divided :?, )JAJORITY—AYES.

In consequence of the deficiency in the produce of the harvests of this country, food has to beirup,rted from abroad, and this food. the demand for it being sud'en, has to he paid for in g 'ld: the result of this is, that the basis of the credit money of the country is taken away—that is, the bullion upon which the credit money is issued —and the paper money, which constitutes the active currency of the country, is consequently diminished. The operation of the system is already rendered painfully evident in the money mar ket. The Three per Cent. Consols, which were above par at the latter r n , l of 1844 and beginning of 1845, and which, even no further back than June, 1846, were at 97/., are now (April 10, 1847) at 861. The unfunded debt, railway shires, canal shares, and other property, have been in like manner operated upon. The quantity of labour finding active employment has aleeady then sei ioudy lessened; the labiairer will, therefore, have to pay higher prices for food out of diminished wages. The. amount of his labour is lessened at the very time he should, if possible, have fuller employment. The paying of higher prices for food is an evil which, under the cir cumstances of a deficient harvest, cannot be avoided; power , w IDOL means of exist at tbeit oee et n i, de t e , on the lotted ,ountY) Jae the a G b ,i e vegi o m us e e n , t di p s e r r e ct. gaidirig :p. warning of your humble petitioner, neglect -adopting. timely measures to prevent, the oreurnrucie of a rqunetaryl: crisis, now impending,—a sudden and general auspen-il sion of the employment of labour and pa) inetirof wageal must occur ; this only means of the enistence of a dense populetion must cease, and,the Government will have to ; deal at once.with Irish and English destitution' at the; very time that it loses all financial power to relieve. One of the most profound thinkers on this subject England has produced, gave the Government, a quarter of a century ago, this emphatic warning :—" If the Go-. 1 vernment should delay rectifying the great errors of its monetary system until a scarcity of food and a scarcity; , of money should occur at the saine..time, then it will be ruin to advance, ruin to retreat; ruin to stand still." Your humble petitioner, has shown your Honourable' House, that this double and irrem , diable danger now threatens: the country; and he earnestly prays your Honourable House, that it would, without delay, appoint a Coinmittee, to inquire into the means of averting . it, and that such Committee should be direct , d to examine yourpetitioner, and such other persons as they may deem competent; and he prays that your Honourable House may, in its wisdom, escape the guilt and danger of reducing, by its management, the most powerful, wealthy, and industrious people in the world' to a condition of misery and anarchy passing all records or And your petitioner will ever pray, &c.

If the credit money were not destroyed, tiee diminution of employment would be stroll in amount; and, in many cases, would scarcely be 'sit. Your pptitioners would entreat the attention of your lionow ant- Huse to the fact, that the 'amount of legal tender money ts very small in comparison with the large business transactions of the nation, and that a slight diminution of the legal-tender money destroys large masses of credit. The active circulation of the Bank of England, for the week ending August 29. 1846, when it held 16,366,0681. of bullion, wa3 21,311,810/ ; the active circulation tor the week ending the 3d day of April; 1847, with bullion amounting to only 10,246.4101., is 20f1i5,2341, miking a differende in the aTual circula Lion of 496,576 L This diminution, t•mall as it is, acting conjointly wi..h th' distrust which the rapid diminution of the bullion has created, op:-raies upon more than one un d red millips of credit in !In - Owe of mp entttale kritc and upon cialit in other shapes to an . enormous amount. It is thus evident that, as the trade and commerce of the nation are carried on and sustained by credit, steadiness of quantity in the.kgal-tender money of the country is of vital importance to the trading einnuattnity. Under the present system of currency, the fluctuations of t he exchanges acting upon the immense inns es of credit transactions, render " prudent calculation" impossible. Had the directors of the Hank of England acted strictly in accordance with the principles of the late enactment, the fluctuation of the pr e s e rit time would be much greater than it now is ; for whilst there has been a fluc tuation of bullion amounting to 6,119,658 t, there is only a difference in the active circulation amounting to 496,5761., on comparison of the two returns before alluded to. Your petitioners are' aware that the directors of the Bank of England have been touch blamed for not acting up more strictly to the intention of the Act of 1844. But your petitioners consider - that it must be evident to your Honourable House, fr o m the facts here detailed , that the dire c t ors of the Bank of England have done the utmost that a bad system would allow them to do, to keep free from " alternations and vicissitudes in that medium of exchange which regulates the value of every article in the country." Your Honourable House must at once perceive that if the directors of the Batik of Eng land had reduced their active circulation in the same proportion as the bullion has been dithinished, the de , struction of credit that must have ensued would, berme than the pani c o f 1825. Such, this, have bro ug h t about apanic much more disa s tr ous however, is the restrictive nature of the A ct o f 1844, that, in the opinion of your petitioners, the Bank cast no longer contend against its operations. With a much lerger a mount of bullion' in its possession at the present time, compared with tonner seasons of money pressures, t'.e directors have less power to help the trading community; and have been compelled not only greatly to increase the rate of interest upon loans, but have also found it necessary, for the safety of the Bank, to abk.oletely refuse paper of a very high class, such- us a -short time ago would have been freely nis .counted. Your petitioners would also submit, that the evil effects of the fluctuations of the exchanges are greatly aggrae vated by the immense fixed monetary engagements of the nation, and that. these aid the foregoing causes ope rating together, reT der the I present system of currency aleogethertinjuet aud impolitic, and call for the imme diete interference of your Honourable House. The fore going s t a tements clearly chow that the system of cur ency, which it was said the Act of 1844 would render complete, has not and cannot "prevent alternations arid vicissitudes in that medium of exchange which regulates the vultt of every ar fele i n the country ;"on • the contrary, your Honourable House wilt perceive that it has very much aggra vAt,i theta, • and has rendered them more disastrous to the e,,eamereiet-and trading interests of the community; the peotinetive classes g enerally, than heretofore r.:,s been the ewe. Your peitieners are of (pinion, that the best means by which the evils re-ultilg from the late deficient harvests can be mitigated, willbe by the issue of peps r na,mey sufficient to sustain the trade of the country during the 'absence Of the gold currency; and' that a system of ,paper-money. established with proper.checks, would at all times be best adapted to the wants of the country. Your petitioners observe that, a ccording to the l a st of England, th e amount hold by the r ii • a ttTs t: f the its busine ss transactions is only 4,391,4701. carr ß y a t Your petitioners therefore pray your honourable House to take the state of the Bank and the currency into immediate .consideration, an d , b y the t i me ly exercise of the . au t h ority o f your Honourable House, protract - the ppulatioll of this ceuntry from those evils with e hich they are now threatened, and which cannot fail to visit them if the Act of 1844 is allowed to c,ntinite: iu op.ratiort.

RE NEAR ExETER, Amu. 28.—0 n Tuesday 4,ernoon a messenger• arrived at the fire-offices in this tith e giving information of a most alarming fire having,bibieir - out in the village of Stoke. Canon, which sin aiiincted about four miles distant, close to the Bristol d. Exeter' Railway. The firemen and engines iminedia•oltta.steliteathe scene, to render all the assistance in theirli **Vend- besides the very efficient corps of the Westait , and Sun Offices, the engine of Sir T. D. Acland, Bart,', 111. P., of Killerton Park, scarcely two miles from Stoke; slat ,In attendance. From inquiries made on the spot, we vid . that thirty two houses haye been completely gutted. teke`Canon is a small village, contain• ing (in-the parish) Wont 500 inhabitants, and sixty dwel- hugs; the destruction, therefore, of more than half the dw,ellingsi.and the making houseless the majority of the pbt;.r end" fininsursd tesidents, is a calamity ' which we are justified in designattng •ais. awful in the extreme. The train which leaves PaddingtdAPA,half-Tast seven in the morning passes at the back of . Stoke about ten minutes after three ht the `afternoon, and reaches Exeter at twenty minutes past three. A cinder from the engine propelling this train was, ,it is generally supposed, the cause of this - Aire*everit, for, soon atter the train had rasSifl . , the thatch of a linhav, belonging to a person narrcd . Barris, not a land yard from the rails, was discovered to be in flames. It WilS soon extinguished, but not soon enough to prevent its communicating with a house occupied by a Mr. Hunt, who was confined to his bed, and was with difficulty eavec fr,in a paintill and horrible death. The wind was blowing hard from the south-west, and the fire extensied in two directions, the one being easterly towards the main street, and the other northerly towards the Brampton' Spike road, which crosses the line of railway a little nearer to the Hale station. At the corner of that road stands a house occupied by Mr. Greenslade, a cattle dealer, which seems to have e s caped in a most singular manner, encompassed as it must have been by the destroying element, which, spreading diagonally, reached the main street, and caught the houses on the opposite side. The New Inn, the tithe barn, school-house, and other buildings, extending to the church, were soon in a blaze, including the dwelling-house of Mr. Haycroft. In Mr. Hay croft's house 100 packs of wool were totally consumed. In the easterly direction simultaneously, the flames were doing . equal damage, destroying most rapidly the King's Arms, ten or a dozen cottages, the house of the Rev. Mr. Knight ; that of a lady named Craig, who keeps a seminary ; the vicarage occupied by the Rev. W. T. Naple ton Penoyre (whose turniture was consumed, together with the communion plate, which had only been removed there from the church the previous evening, " for safety,") and finally the outhouse of the rector, the Rev. Mr. Bond, where they were at length subdued. N o twithstanding the vast amount of misery wh i c h must inevitably attend this severe visitation. there is one abundant source of thankfulness and congratulation in the fact, that not one life has fallen a sacrifice to the conflagration, which, breaking out at so early an hour, found the inhabitants more prepared than if it bad come upon them in the waste and dead of night.' Half-past three o'clock in the afternoon is said to be the time when it commenced, and it was not got under till nine in the evening. This morning, when we saw the ruins, they were still smoking, and in some parts burn ing, and every now and then the fall of a wall, from the violence of the wind, showed the temerity of venturing too near their unsupported, gaunt, and threatening heights. The engines were on the apt, and playing on the fire within an hour of the outbreak,: with a plentiful supply of water from the river Esse, which runs close by; but the roofs being with out exceptitin of thatch, and the wind very high and gusty, the check was only slight, and their influence for a very long time unperceivable. The damage is estimated at 1,5001. The property in fee belongs chiefly to the Dean and Chapter, and was mostly insured by the lessees, though a heavy loss will unquestionably fall on the poor people whose goods have been either damaged or burnt.

Sargrove, rector of St. Mary Somerset, Upper Thames street ; and upon the' left by the Rev: Dr. Carlile. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, • The CHAIRMAN gave the toast of the evening—m Suc cess to the praiseworthy and philanthropic labours of the Accident Relief Society," which was of course received with all the honours. The SECRETARY (Mr. R. Croxton) then read the re port, from which it appeared that the society had originated in the year 1838, amongst the workmen of Mr. T. Cox Savory, of Cornbill, Mr. Savory himself subscribing 20L, and his workmen making up the sum of 641., for the purpose of affording relief to the families of labouring men who might chance to be ren dered incapable of supporting their families by the oc currence of such accidents as falls from scaffoldings and others, to which the labouring classes are hourly liable. I From that time to the present the society has slowly' but progressively increased iu funds and power, although it still falls so far short of the requirements of those classes for which its foundation was effected, that of the 45,000 cases of accident that are estimated to occur in London annually, not one in thirty can receive any, or the sl.ghtest assistance from its funds. Amongst the subscriptions announced to have been received were "the following:—Lord Faversham, 101.; Earl Fitzwilliam. 10L; Viscountess Milton, la; Lord Ravensworth, 10/ ; Miss Burdett Coutts, annual. 201.; Mrs. Duff, annual, 201.; Earl Onslow, 101.; Lord Castle reaeh, annual, 51; Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., sundry donatious 1001., annual donation, 5/.; Charles Hoare, E N ., second donation, 101.; H.

TUE LATE) MARQUIS OF linaroßD.--A.mong the numerous suits, actions, and other legal proceedings arising out of the will of the late Marquis of Hertford, with its numerous codicils, those of the executors against Nicholas Suisse, the valet of the testator, have stood prominent One of these was for the restitution of inscriptions for French Rentes, amounting in value to 700,000 f., which belonged to the Marqub , and Which his executors asserteii Suisse had surreptitiously taken out of his drawer, after the death of his master. For this imputed act of robbery they prose cuted Suisse criminally in England; but on the trial at the 01,1 Bailey he was acquitted. Notwithstanding this acquittal, the executors, as the inscriptions were deposited in France, instituted a suit against Suisse, in the Tribunal do Premiers Instance, for their restitution. Th e T r ib una l decided in favour of the executors, and the inscriptions were ordered to be restored to them. This, however, was not the final termination of the claims of the executors. They afterwards discovered that, while the inscriptions were in his hands, Suisse had received dividends to the amount of 77,710 f., and for the restitution of this sum another action was brought by the executors, but, in the first instance, they were defeated. Against this decision an appeal was brought before the Cour Royale, and it came to a hearing yesterday. Atter a repetition of all the circumstances, and of the argu ments of counsel on both sides, the Cour Royale quashed the judgment of the court below, and desired Suisse to repay the 77,710 f. to the executors. There was also an appeal by Suisse against another part of the same judgment of the infe rior tribunal, ordering him to restore other dividends received by him to the amount of 44,000 f., but this the Cour Royale contirmed.—Galignani of Tuesday. General Iriarte, with some friends, went over Windsor Castle two or three days ago, and expressed them selves much pleased with the splendour of that ancient royal residence. CANADIAN AFFAIRS.—LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.— Ily an arrival from Halifax we have advices from that port to the 10th inst. inclusive. We copy from one of the journals the following paragraph :—" Lord Elgin has made overtures to the leaders of the French party to join him in forming a Ministry of a Conservative character, but they declined re plying to his Lordship until they had consulted their friends in the Upper Province." • COMMISSION OF LUNACY oN A CLERGYMAN'S SON. —Wedin.sday, the proceedings under a writ de innate° intim rendo, which had been adjourned from Saturday last, were resumed and concluded, at the White Hart Inn Upper Clap ton, before Mr. Commissioner Barlow and sixteen special jurors, relative to the state of mind of John Charles Huline, Esq, aged 25, one of'ten children of the late Rev. W. Hulme, of Shirfield, Barks, who at his death bequeathed, in addition to a valuable freehold estate to his eldest son, the sum of 14,0001. to each of the other nine children, the whole value of the property so bequeathed being nearly 120,000/. Thera •was no important evidence in addition to that which we have already given on a recent occasion, and, after nearly an hour's deliberation, twelve out of sixteen jurors were unanimously of opinion, " That John Charles Hulme was of unsound mind, and incapable of managing himself and his affairs, and had been so since the 28th of October,lB46, and we wi'h to observe that we think he °tight to be confined in X lunatic asylum." The brothers, the Rev. G. and W. Ilulme. said they had every desire to attend to the recommendation of the jury. M. JULLIEN AND SUNDAY TRAVELLING ON TUE Erminunon AKD Grt..asciow RAILWAY.—We are credibly informed that last Saturday night M. Jullien and his corn piny of musicians, after performing in the City Hall, left this city in a special train for Edinburgh, which had been previously hired by him for that purpose from the railway directors or their manager ; that M. lullien and hit; company left Glasgow for Edinburgh towards midnight of last Satiur day in this special train ; and that it arrived in Edinburgh early on Sabbath morning, and we challenge contradiction of this fact from any quarter.—Reformer's Gazette. Hor PLANTATIONS.—The polling about Farnham, Alton, and Odiham, Hants, into Sussex, is now completed, The last week's sun has improved the shooting plants, the poles protecting the tender bine from the cold frosty nights ; the rain, several times within the last few days, tended also much to improve their appearance. It can scarcely be re collected when there was so delightflil a spring as the present for the clearing the ground of weeds, and removing every thing obnoxious from around the hillocks containing the roots of this valuable plant. In some open situations they appear sickly and yellow, but warm weather will soon change that appearance. Thoue.,ll the season is backward, yet many look upon such as being rather more favourable than injurious to the growing shoots, as the rapidity with which hey grow soon surmounts the check the hop plant receives from a slight blight. If the hops had no worse enem ies to contend with than a few frosty nights in the spring, g rowers would not feel great alarm ; it is th e midsummer bl ights which change all, the hop-growers' prospects and destroy the hoped-for crop in the autumn, which they sedulousl anxious look for to reimburse them (the g ro wers) for all their y toils, expense, and trouble. • A SPARE DIET.—A LITTLE FABLE.—(For the King of Prussia.) —A good father had long promised his children a treat, so one day he called them together, and said, You have been very good children, and I think I can trust you now; for the future you may dine with me ; and we will talk at dinner over your future prospects." The dinner at last took place, and the good father rose and said, " My dear boys, there is a lot of dry bread, which you m a y divide amongst you ; you will also find on the sideboa rd some pump-water. I know it will do you good, f or a spare diet is the best for a strong constitution. I have put a little sugar on your bread, because, on the WhOle, you are good children, and:l don't mind giving you plenty of butter, as long as yeti, behave yonrselves ; but if you ask for anythin g better—if you murmur about cheese i f you hint at fish, if you even whisper about roast beef , or dare grumble about n .n o e t hatin g again."iliTiittiosftreplaut was m -pudding, you shall never dine with repeated once or twice, and , two n• three of the -elder btis w ' hu grlnnbled, were locked up c; • and - one strong, rebelli ons fellow, who had., the impuden to ask for a drop of beer, wa*.whipned tLaent to bed; till at last all the childr en rose an d said, " Father your dinners don't suit us ; you talk very beautifully, but you give us nothing to eat.

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGI ISTEERS. APRIL. 20, Sir JOIN RF.4.iNIE, President, in the chair. - The paoerires-+wad -by Att. Fait bairn, of Menc)iester, On the Defects in the Principle and Construction of Fin pr .of Building." It comtneuced by insisting strongly on the dangerous cons, (pence.; of making use of cast iron beams of large span, without intermediate support, unless the dirnens;on of the beams were very large. and pointing out the treacherous nature of a chrystaltine metallic body, such as cast iron, when ap plied to support heavy weights in the construction of buildings. After some further remarks upon the importance of a thorough knowledge of the laws which govern the use and application of cast iron as a material for building under the various strains to which it may be subjected, the author proceeded to investigate the circumstances connected with the fall of Messrs. Gray's cotton-mill, at Manchester. This building was stated to be about 40 feet long and 31 feet 8 inches wide, and to consist of two stories in height, containing the boilers below and the machinery above, over which, instead of a roof, was a water cistern, covering the whole extent of the building. The first floor was composed of large iron beams, of 31 feet 8 inches span, without intermediate support ; on these beams brick arches were turned, sustaining the whole weight of the upper part of the building. The author then demonstrated that these large large beams were totally inadequate to support the weight of the superiacumbent mass, especially as the whole pressure was- upon the centre of the beams, which were of a form ill calculated to bear the pres sure, added to which the wrought-iron trussing was so badly applied, that the breaking strain was arrived at butore the trussrods were brought into a state of tension. The consequence of this was, that one of the lower beams broke in the centre under a less weight than it had previously supported, both undsir preliminary trial and when the cistern was fuller than at the time of the accident. The paper closed with some remarks on the delicate and invidious duty of reporting on such ac cidents as those in which the reputation of gentlemen of high professional acquirements may be involved, and the author expressed his reluctance in condemning the con struction of the building in question. In the discussion which ensued, it was argued, that if prop :.-r proportions of material had been observed, the accident ought not to have occurred. It appeared evident that the wrought iron trussrods had been so put on, that they allowed more than the breaking strain of the cast iron to be arrived at before they came into operation. The instances of the trussed beam bridges. so extensively ased by Mr. Stephenson and other engineers on railways, were quoted to show that , by s judicious employment of wrought iron trus,es upon cast iron beams, large spans might be crossed with safety; and even in some cases where, from unseen defects in the metal, a beam had fractured, the truss rods had sufficed to support the structure, and enabled the traffic to be continued across the bridge until the repairs could be effected. In all eases a strength of not less than four to one should be employed, and for such uses as the iron beams of pump ing engines, which were exposed to great vibration and sudden shocks, from the sudden influx of steam below the piston, or the accidental breaking of a pump rod, the proportions of seven or eight to one should be ob served. The paper announced to be r ad at the meeting on Tuesday, April 27, was " On the Laws of Isochronism of the C.E.snd Chronometers."
