NOVELTY in FRENCH CORNICES, at 20s. —A most varied and beautiful assortment of those elegant PARISIAN NOVELTIES, which threaten entirely to supersede all of British manufacture, from 20s: and upwards, complete for any ordinary window (if inlaid with velvet of any colour about 15s. each extra), is now on SALE at WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late MP PON and BURTON'S), 39, Oxford-street, corner of Newman-street. Detailed catalogues, with engravings, as well as of every iron mongery article, sent (per post) free. WILLIAM S. BURTON'S (late RIPPON and BURTON'S) Stock at general Furni s hi n g Ironmongery is literally the largest in the world, and as no language can be employed to give a correct idea of is variety and extent, purchasers are invited to call and inspect it —Established in Well-street, 1820. A A 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determ•ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em loitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, arc the great hindrances to domestic happiness aid social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by uaqualitled authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy."

'hying noticed the ravages of the famine fever, which has in other places spread from the distressed Irish among all classes, we have, since its first ap pearance in this town, devoted to it that attention which a most grievous calamity in embryo deserves. During the past week we have been peculiarly careful in ascertaining its precise character and extent, and the character and extent of the remedies and preven tives which have been suggested and adopted against it. It is known, in technical phrase, as the epidemic gastic fever, and its symptoms are tenderness at the pit of the stomach, accompanied with severe pain in the head, a sympathetic and secondary result of the affection of the stomach. Its origin is starvation. It is anything but malignant, and would rarely prove fatal were the proper medical treatment promptly applied, and a supply of nourishing food afforded. In one in stance which has come under our notice during the past week, it has been accompanied with delirium, and in some three or four others with death. An instance of death from fever of a typhoid character occurred in the person of an Irish inmate of the gaol, on Satur day last, but it is altogether an exception to those of which we are speaking. We were informed yester day by the Rev. Joseph Render, whose zeal in the service of these poor creatures is beyond all praise, that in one of the houses in Smith's-court, between Middle-street and West-street, a poor woman, whilst in this fever, had been prematurely confined, and that when he visited her she was laid in one corner of the room in a dying state, her child dead on the floor at a little distance, and her husband extremely ill in ano ther corner of the room. Both these parties are since dead. Three of their children were subsequently at tacked by the fever, but, under the care of Mr. Day parochial surgeon, are now recovering. Another fe• male has died in it at No. 9, Middle-street. The resident surgeon in the Infirmary informs us that there have been five cases of this fever in that institution during the week, and that they are all going on favourably. The resident surgeon of the Dispensary says, that between twenty and thirty new cases have come under treatment in that institution during the past week, and that all which have been brought under the notice of the medical officers at an early stage are out of danger. There are four cases in the vagrant-office, but none of them are remarkable. We proceed to state the measures which have been adopted in order to limit the spread of the fever, and, if possible, to save the town altogether from its ra vages. And, in the outset, it is requisite to observe that the town is greatly indebted to the worshipful the mayor, and T. W. Palmer, Esq., justice of the peace, for the strenuous efforts they have made in bringing the subject before the proper authorities, and also to those authorities, for the prompt regard they have manifested in their measures for the preser vation of the public health. Messrs. Jalland and Palmer presented to the governor of the poor the earliest information they received concerning the fever, with the request that be would meet it in the most effectual manner practicable: Mr. Drant communicated with the guardians for Sculcoates on the expediency of the joint establish ment of a fever hospital. The latter parties hay ing extended their sick wards and increased the number of their baths, in anticipation of a larger number of sick paupers, thought it prudent to decline co operating with the guardians of the Hull Workhouse in the manner proposed. Mr. Drant then converted the vagrant-office into a temporary fever hospital, and subsequently the commodious building on the Humber bank, formerly occupied by the pauper children. The mayor 'stated in the Police Court, on Saturday and Tuesday last, that he had been informed of these judicious proceedings by the chairmen of the respective boards of guardians. Mr. Palmer wrote to the go vernor and guardians of the poor of Hull, on Monday, stating a case which had that day come under his notice as a magistrate, of a man going from house to house begging, who was the father of a family of five children, all in the fever. In that letter he wisely suggests that " all Irish vagrants, on entering the town should ibe stopped by the police, examined by a medical man, and, if necessary, sent to a fever hospital ;" and that " the walls of each room in Mill street, and all others similarly tenanted, should be washed with lime, the windows made to open at the top, and this done at the parish expense forthwith." The success which has hitherto attended the means exercised on behalf of the afflicted objects of the fever is highly encouraging, and leave us room to regret nothing except that the means could not unfor tunately have been put into operation earlier, and so have saved the lives of those who have become ita victims. In the majority of instances, when the fever has attacked one member of a family, the rest have not escaped, as they doubtless might have done, had the invalid been removed, at the outset of his attack, to such receptacles as are now provided. All needful precautions are now being taken ; those who have taken those precautions, I repeat, are worthy of all praise, and there is now nothing to fear, unless the hot weather, which, along with the season of ripe fruit, may be shortly expected, should alter the na ture of the fever. le JENNY LIND.—The Aftonbled, a Stockholm piper, contains a letter purporting to be from the Swedish Nightingale, and contradicting the statement made by some of the Scandinavian journals, that she is to re ceive bank-notes to the tune of 12,000/. in exchange for the silvery notes she warbles forth during the present season.

", On Monday evening last; - Mr. Gale made a second and More , successful ascent In"this balloon, the " Prince of Wales," . from tie Pomorit - s Gardens. The balloon was moored by,the side . -of - the !mall lake in these very pic turesque gardens, and ,in small gravelled area, which allowed' the spectators t o ' f orm a l arge ring around it. Tle .balloon from its • great height when inflated, was, a. y9„ry _conspicuous 'Object from the outside of the..gardsiii, and attracted the attention of great Crowds on the Chester .-and the Stretford roads, and ell the elevatd spots and banks in the neighbour hood s 6 desirous were some parties to have ogood view of it, that they . ascended-to the top of a new and very high Chiinuey in the - neighbourhood. The Of dee balloon having been commenced on Saturday, it was quilt! t fUlly-infisted by Monday afternoon, but from the' quality of theigas : which bad been-supplied, Mr. Gale wee nevertheless very doiabtfill whether it would Nl* slitters - lit buoyancy to ' , !eiiable him to 'ascend with.: his Aloublp %ear, - .or take up the supplemental baHoons,'Jkituse of z lahich we shall presently describe. Mr. Gate calcul4e.sflitat,with gas of the- pecific gravity Of •350'fila li - ftlloort albul;tl .have sufficient buoyancy to take lit litl:6 l !!tiff, three other persona; his , supplementary gar - with Apo fait sups) ;hA ckile 1.4.16 air 30 or 40 feet below the upper. The lowering of the lower division of the car stretches out a rope ladder, and the aiironautst then descends (as represented in the illustrated placards announcing Mr. Gale's ascent) through the hole in the bottom of the upper car. The car having been a ffi xed, Mr. Gale and a you ng man, his assistant, entered it, taking with them *wt. of ballast; and having a frame hung to the botto m o f th e ca r o n which were placed the fireworks necessary for firing the royal salute. Mr. Gale then allowed the balloon to ascend a short distance and then descend, it being held by a rope, for the purpose of testing its buoyancy, the proprietor of the gardens being, of course, very urgent that the supplementary balloons should, if possible, be attached, in order to keep faith with the public. This experiment showing &at Mr. Gale had somewhat under-estimated were then i e u ttac a b e e e d lin pse r d he s s t e ate are fro t the buoyancy of the balloon, the supple men t a l b a ll oons from o t small he u p p b e a r l o p o a n r s. t of each side of the balloon, and having a canvas pipe leading to them from the neck of the main balloon. There use is as follows :—When a balloon fully inflated ascends, as the atmosphere becomes more rarefied, the expansion of gas in the balloon renders it necessary to allow a considerable quantity to escape, in order to prevent the balloon from bursting ; this escape (which takes place to such an extent, that Mr. Gale calculates that a balloon in ascending 2,000 feet, loses one-tenth part of the gas which it originally contained), being directed into the supplemental bal loons, by choking the neck of the large balloon, inflates them, causing them of course to stand up from the upper part of the balloon like two wings, as represented on the placards, and enabling the aeronaut to ascend very much higher than he would otherwise be able to do. These balloons, however, though thus ultimately aiding the ascent of the parent balloon, do necessarily at first check it to some extent. The supplemental balloons having been attached, and all the number less little arrangements of ropes, &c., having been completed, Mr. Gale, about half past seven o'clock, libe rated the balloon, which immediately rose rapidly and majestically, amid the cheers of the spectators, and the playing of two bands of music. The balloon passed over the Chester-road, and bore, for a short distance, to the south-eastward, as though it were going in the direction of Stockport,—the direction which it took on the former occasion. As, however, it rose, the upper current of air carried it in a southward, and subsequently in a westward direction. When the balloon had ascended to the height of about 4,000 feet, Mr. Gale flowered the lower car, and shortly after descended the rope ladder with considerable rapidity ; of course, at the distance at which the balloon then was, Mr. Gale appeared to the spectators in the gardens merely as a speck. After he had reached the lower car, he discharged the fireworks attached thereto. These had a rather curious effect, as the explosive substance fell• 200 4 or 300 feet from the balloon befofe they eitploded. Mr Gale having discharged the fireworks, ascended to the upper car, and the balloon then ascended rapidly, having been liberated of a weight of about fifteen pounds by the discharge of the fireworks. The greatest height attained was about a mile and a half. This was without the aid of' the supplementary balloons, as Mr. Gale, having no object in ascending higher, did not inflate these, but permitted the gas to escape in the usual way. Mr. Gale, after a journey of rather more than half an hour, descended at eight minute: past eight o'clock, at Mr. Timperley's farm, at Sinderland, in the parish of Bowdon. The descent, into which was of the ge n tle s t d es cription, was a pasture field; there was a great crowd of the country people I assembled, and Mr. Gale having thrown his grappling iron to them, was pulled in by them. They behaved to him with the greatest kindness, and he was brought to the gardens (where he arrived about half past eleven o'clock) by Mr. Wright, of the Bay Malton inn. Mr. Gale's ascent was witnessed in the gardens by a very numerous and respectable company, who after wards promenaded about these really . very pretty grounds, the animation o f the scent being further in• creased by a great number of boats on the river. The up per part of the gardens was very tastefully illuminated, and about half-past ten o'clock a display of fireworks took place ; the rockets were most excellent, but the set pieces were only indifferent, chiefly from having been badly set. The Temple of Henan, which is a large transparency extending nearly across the gardene , and illuminated, with a Chinese temple, was also with a very pleasing e ff ect. Two bands of music and a party of Lancashire bell-ringers enlivened the scene by their performances, . Th e _ o utside -passengers on the omnibus which left' Manchester for Altriechana and Bowdon at seven o'clock, had an excellent. view of the balloon all the way from Stretford to Altrmeham ; they saw its rise and descent, which one gentleman said would be in Sinderland; and they also saw, the flash of flame, on the ignition of each rocket discharged by . the aeronaut (who was distinctly seen to d esc end from and re•aseend into the upper car), followed by a report, and then by a small balloon-shaped dark object, which at first was conjectured to be a small balloon, but it soon resolved itself into a wreath of thin smoke. Six or seven of the dis charges were seen and heard. As the omnibus en tered Altrincham, the balloon being obviously descend ing, many persons were hastening thence along th e Manchester road to be in at " the fall." The clear sky of the lower atmosphere (though higher up there were dark clounds) rendered the balloon an exceedingly beautiful spectacle for miles round the site of its ascent. -Manchester Guardian. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—"BRISTOL, JUNE 29.—A frightful accident occurred to - day a t the facto ry of Messrs. J. and S. Fry, the extensive c hocolate manufac turers, Union-street, in this city. The Messrs. F ry are the manufacturers of Churchman's m ilk chocol ate and B r workedg rindingy by steamand compres sion Bristol ristn of p th at e e c n o t c c o oc a o p a o , w a a n a d ul in tna the ebi ne is used. - - To-day, at about twelve o'clock, as one of the men in the factory, named William Robyn, was employed in oiling some parts of the engine, his shirt sleeve and some other portions of his clothes were caught by a wheel, and his person drawn rapidly into the machinery. The popr man alarmed the factory with his cries, but be fore the engine could be stopped he ex p eri enced injuries of the most dreadful nature ; his ribs were broken and his abdomen torn open, and the intestines drawn out and wound round the wheels and strap of the engine. The machinery was stopped as speedily as possible, and mes sengers were dispatched in search of medical aid. Within a few minutes Dr. O'Brien, one of the physicians of St. Peter's Hospital, and several other members of the medical staff of the hospital, were upon the spot, and having disengaged the body from the wheels, rendered all the assistance in their power. • The poor man, how ever, lies in a hopeless state, and it is evident that death must speedily terminate his sufferings. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL-011 Monday a man entered the Wolverton station of the London and Northern Railway, and took a third-class ticket for Bir mingham, the train started, and had nearly arrived at Blisworth, a distance of ten miles, when a police-officer inquired of the station-master at Wolverton what parties had taken tickets at that station by the last train. On the information being afforded him the officer was led to believe that a person suspected of a robbery that was committed in the neighbourhood the previous evening had proceeded with his booty by that train. The elec tric telegraph from Wolverton to Blisworth was imme diately put into use, and the necessary information sent thither. Ou the arrival of the train at Blisworth, the carriages were inspected, and a person answering the de scription found. He was apprehended, and the stolen Boors were found in his luggage. The prisoner was brought back by the next train to Wolverton, and safely lodged the same evening in the Aylesbury Gaol. SUGARED MEDICINES.---A singular mode of prepar ing medicines appears to have been recently adopted in France, by covering the most nauseous descriptions of them with sugar in a confectioned and highly-finished state so as to represent sugar-plums and comfits, and to deceive any fiehons as to their exact quality and real substance. This is now extended from small kinds of confectionary to articles of a larger description,equalling the size of sugared almonds, as they are called, and containing a verY considerable quantity of the medicinal properties which it'reay be intended to incorporate, or rather conceal therekand in this state are imported into this country for inMediate use.

An adjourned monthly meeting of the Dock Commis sioners of Birkenhead was held at their rooms, HaMilton square,: on Monday, morning. There was a- full attendance of Commissioners. The CHAIRMAN (Joseph Mallaby, E 59) said, that at the 'last meeting he took occasion to remark; from the ' information which he then had, that they were, as a body of commissioners, in this deplorable condition— that they had no funds whatever in hand to conduct the works or to pay even the current wages, or to answer the obligations of several contracts which were partly agreed to, but which were not yet begun. You are aware of the position in which we were. You are aware that it was intended, if possible, to accomplish something which might have. the :effect. of placing funds in our hands until we could compel the payment of - moneys that - were due to us, so as to enable us to go on with 'our works. You came to a resolution which directed a certain application, to be Made, to one large debtor of. the 'tryst, in the hope that a compliance with it would have enabled you to have carried on the works —probably oh a more moderate scale—until a more comprehensive relief could be obtained. I , dare. say you: are: ow e '.1114t that application totally failed, and that the , large debtor to . the trust to whom. I haVe . adverted 'did not respond to the call which was madd; from what motives; under what in dUcements,. I do :mit Oretend to say i but the :effect of . was to place you in a position of-serions ember nt. I viva_ to. London with Mr. Potter. We • ,I am gad to - say, met shortly atter , our arrival t . by Mt. Brownrigg. We concurn*in mging a w cer in application, in the hope . that,•for t ' - roton or the redemption of their interest, they would have made istill further 'advances, and have enabled ustto have made ,still figeber progress with tie works. Thoie two gen tienattilave resisted that appliCation, altheijgh it was xlisder3n all _frankness, sadwith a full ..and explicit statement of our position, and of what must be the result of our position, when our bills fall due on the 30th. of this month. You all know, from that position alone, what must be the consequence of our not being enabled to comply with the necessity of the 30th of June. How- • ever, the application failed. I saw, afterwards, one of the Crown officers, and after that I had a very long discus sion with Mr. Potter and Mr. Brownrigg, and the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, and explained our affairs and the advantages which I considered would result from a determination on the part of the Crown, not merely to assist us in a pecuniary way, but to help and inspirit ua with their countenance. Having done that, lam glad to say that we should have had their countenance, and we should have received the sum of 50,000/. Upon that pro mise I made a communication to the committee here to enable them to obtain that which was necessary for the purpose of going on with the works, and protect you from the evil consequences of stopping them. In a couple of days, unfortunately, it turned out, notwithstanding the anticipations of the Crown officers, that the main source from which that fund was expected promptly to be paid, the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, had not the means for supplying it, and therefore the Crown were in this position, that, being willing . to do all they could for us, they could only do it by raising upon their property in connexion with the trust, and that they were prepared to do, by going into the market, and obtaining it upon such arrangements as I submitted to them. You are aware that the first Bill, that which relates to the new dock, had a clause in it, which came through the Com mons, confirming the title of the Crown and the Commis. sioners, not merely to the property that was granted to you, but to the property which it was necessary to have granted to you, in order to release the works which had been made, and which are described under the second act under the Bill. For you will see that, without the Crown's title, the works might have been made without the authority of the first Act of Parliament. This Bill for the new dock would then be utterly use less, because it would give you a right to nothing. Not withstanding that, we were met in the House of Lords by petitions from various parties for the purpose of denying the right of either the Commissioners or the Crown to the land, and of thus placing in jeopardy the whole of what we had dose, and the whole of what we proposed to do. The petitioners were the dock company, the Corpo ration of Liverpool, Mr. Price, and others ; but those were all who finally appeared. Now, it is clear, that the Commissioners can expend do more money until these questions are decided, and all I want you to deliberate upon is, what, under the circumstances, is the best course to pursue. The Crown Solicitor told Mr. Potter and myself, that the proper course was at once to withdraw both the Bills, as they 'could be of no practical advantage to:the Commissioners, and only •prevent such arrangements' being finally made as %redid be entered' into if thosoiAlls were not passle. The second-Bill I,plage nolies;"upon, because I donVbelieve any one thinksakorffill would be of an value. We will pledge ourselves not to do more wish th docks until our title to the site of' the whole can be con firmed. My reason for putting it in that way is this—and I am obliged to state it publicly, in order to show the nature of the advantage that will accrue from it—that suppose somebody elee than the Crown should be en titled to the land, we might induce them to confirm our title to what the Crown had proposed, if we propose to go on with the works; so that in the end, if we can only get these things 50 settled, we may, whether the Crown have the title or not, get our rights con firmed. If we have to pay for the sight of the works, for the site of the area of these docks, I need not say to you that it would be one of the most insane acts that any of us could think of committing, to go on with works that must necessarily resolve themselves into not merely a profitless speculation, but a great loss to the bondholders; for we never could receive one fraction if we had to pay for the area of the docks as well as the solid structure and masonry, as they have to do in Liverpool. If anything like a rate is to be paid by us, such as is paid by the corporation on the other side, you can hardly measure the amount that you will finally have to pay. The proposal, therefore, I would submit is, that we enter into a resolution authoris• ing a proposal to be made to the Crown, that if they will allow the new dock Bill to pass, that you will not expend further sums upon the works, or use the existing docks until your title be confirmed ; and if you enter into a resolution to that effect, I will do all in my power to get an asse nt . to the Bill in the propetplace ; and I think if we can accomplish that wie shall have the means in our Inn& - of inducing other parties, besides the Crown, to join in procuring us - the title for our works. The chairman concluded by proposing a resolution to the above effect. Mr. War. LAIRD then entered into a statement to show that there was no necessity for pledging themselves not to use the present docks, and proposed an amendment to the effect that that portion of the resolution be with drawn. The Liverpool Corporation could have littlo to do with any of the works there, and he thought they would be safe in proceeding with the works on the security which they had at present. Mr. BRYAN objected to any motion which would close the docks for a considerable period. The CHAIRMAN having entered into some explana tions in reply, and some further discussion having taken place, the amendment was seconded by Mr. Pritchard, and put to the meeting. It was lost by a large majority. Mr. WILLIAM LAIRD then proposed, as an amend ment, that Baron Goldsmid, Mr. Bailey, and Mr. Upton, three of the largest bondholders, should be consulted before such a resolution as that proposed by the chair man were passed, and requested application be made to Lord Morpeth, to see if he would not pass the Bill with out any such pledge. There were only four hands held up for the amendment. The original motion of the chairman was then put and carried by a majority of eight to three, and the pro ceedings terminated, with an assurance from Mr. Mallaby that he would do all in his power to forward the passing of the Bill.—Liverpool Times. COMMITTEE ON THE NAVIGA TION-L AWS. The Select Committee appointed by the House of Corn mons to inquire into the operation of the navigation-laws met on Tuesday. The following members wero pre sent :—Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Liddell, Sir George Clerk, Sir H. Douglas, Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Lyall. Mr. Milner Gibsoa was in the chair. Mr. Lockett was examined By Sir H. Douglas—l am a shipowner, a merchant, and an underwriter at the port of Liverpool, and I am chairman of the Shipowners' Association at that port. lam in the habit of supplying wines, spirits, and provisions for ships' stores. lam generally ac quainted with the provisions of the navigation-laws, and have never experienced any practical incon venience in my trade from their operation. I have read the evidence of the witnesses before this Committee in reference to the importation of copper . and guano from Chili and Peru; but I do not cop•,:;/ . their opi nions as to the inconvenience which the 'on laws are said to cause to those trades. I do , ' ink that the quantity of B is at all d by the operation of t f+.2e.t , t: ws. I cowl , er that ~ rl the injury said to , ' ", , ,the East India trade by the non-admiss . British seamen is caused by a pant u and not by the navigation laws. I think ll' s ': be shipowners gene rally would not object to the repeal of that particular Act. The price of Peruvian guano varies at present from SE. 15s. to 91. per ton, and the price of Chilian guano varies between 51. and 51. 10s. per ton. I have for many years been in the habit of coming in contact with the masters and mates of the ships of almost every country in the world, and I consider that those who are engaged in the British mercantile marine are equal, in point of honesty, intelligence, integrity, and temperance, to the masters and mates in any other service; and that they are as good navigators. If the navigation-laws were repealed I would not, as a British shipowner, increase the amount of my tonnage. I believe that if those laws were abolished the shipwrights and other artisans en gaged in the trades connected with British shipping would be completely ruined, because ship- building in Great Britain must, in such an event, inevitably fall off. I am acquainted with the United States trade, and I know that the British ships engaged in that trade have not for some years past afforded the owners a fair remu nerating profit. The Americans have an advantage over • British ships in the carrying trade. At preeeatvikeY PRICE SD. have the great bulk of the trade to the northern ports in their hands. By Sir G. Clerk—The reason of that is, that the goods are generally insured in America, and the terms of the insurance are that they shall be shipped by the American packets; and those ships have likewise the advantage of filling up with goods of every description. I admit that the removal of some of the restrictions im posed by the navigation-laws might prove beneficial; but I should always be afraid of infringing upon the prin ciple of those laws—of opening the market at all, lest the alteration should be carried to an extent which would injure British shipping. By Mr. Ricardo—l do not think that the navigation laws have raised the rates of freights; if they had it was to a very trifling extent. If the navigation laws were repealed foreign ships might carry cheaper for a time, but I believe that when they had driven the English ships out of the market they would raise their rates again. The British shipowners have had little or no profit for the last 20 years, and that is a proof that the navigation•laws had not raised the rates of freight. Mr. Ricardo—Then the navigation-laws have not answered your views. Mr. Lockett—lt has answered them to the extent that they gave confidence to the shipowners. By Mr. Villiers—Freights have been higher since December last, although the navigation-laws have been suspended, but that was caused by an increased demand for shipping to bring breadstuffs to this country. An increase in the trade of this country must necessarily create an increased demand for shipping. I have no' doubt that the withdrawal of protection from the West India colonies caused a greater amount of sugar to be imported into this country, and, consequently, a greater demand for shipping. The more cargoes a ship brings of course the better for the owner. By Mr. Ricardo—The freight for sugar at present from the West Indies varies from 4s. to ss. per cwt. ; at this time last year the rates varied between 3s. 6d. and 3s. 9d. per cwt. If the navigation-laws were repealed we could not compete with Amttican ships ; they would have a great advantage over trA in being allowed the carrying trade to our West India colonies. But the principal competition I apprehend would be with the Baltic ships. In fact I believe that if the market was thrown open British ships would be driven out of the trade. English shipping had already suffered much in consequence of our entering into treaties of reciprocity with foreign ship-building nations. By Mr. Liddell—The shipping of those countries with which we have entered into treaties of reciprocity has invariably increased, while our shipping has diminished. This is a proof that throwing open the trade cannot fail to annihilate British shipping, for it is impossible for us to compete with the foreign cheap ship-building nations. Mr. William Imrie was the next witness examined. By Sir 11. Douglas—He was a shipowner and ship broker at Liverpool, and was acquainted with the principle and the operation of the navigation-laws. If the navigation-laws were repealed he believed that freights would be lowered for a short time. But when British ships were displaced, which must inevitably be the case if those laws were abolished, he thought that the foreigners would return to their old rates. He had no doubt whatever that the shipping of this country would fall off, and that the trade which our shipowners at present possessed would emerge into the hands of foreigners. lie saw by the accounts brought by the Halifax steamer, which arrived at Liverpool yes terday morning, that the Americans had, during the last ten months, exported twenty-eight millions sterling of bread-stuffs to England, including freights, and they had chiefly been sent in American ships. The West India trade, he thought, would suffer very much, for the Americans would bring to this country the sugar of the West Indies, which was the only advantages the ship ping interest derived at present from the West India trade. He did not consider that cheap ships produced cheap freights. He thought that the admission of slave , grown sugar into this market was the greatest boon that was ever conferred on British shipping. Mr. Ricardo—Cannot the Brazilian ships bring Brazi lian sugar, and Spanish ships bring Cuban sugar? Mr. Imrie—Yes; but they have no ships to bring it. The Americans have ships that could bring it if they were allowed to do so. He thought that there would be more fluctuations in freights under a free trade in shipping than under the present system, because the foreign tonnage would be very much increased, and the greater the amount of tonnage the greater would be the fluctuations in the rates of freight. The Committee adjourned till Thursigy. RUSSIAN MINISTERIAL COR RUPTION. _ _ . We find the following in the Union Monvchique : " A letter from Warsaw, of the €th, informs us that the Emperor Nicholas was expected in that city, but the precise date of his arrival could not be fixed, both on acco 'of the slate of. his,health, and on account of • „tiforpseeni alFai s, tbe.,‘ solution of, which will ,„ aps dettlniiitn for some /Imo longer at St. Peters.% rgh. It appears that by circumstances, owirntirely $ chance, the Emperor has discovered the trace of a host of mal-practices committed by several high func tionaries, who enjoyed, till now, all the confidence of his Imperial Majesty. The indignation caused to the Etoreror by this discovery exercised the most 3ericus influence on his health, which seemed almost entirely r,•estah , ishcii. Among the persons said to be corn promised in this affair is cited General Levacheff, one of the principal judges of the conspiracy of 1825, and the Minister of War, Prince Tchernicheff, the same who in 181 1 was sent to Paris by the Emperor Alexander with the secret mission to gain over some employes of the Ministry of War, to obtain possession of documents re lative to the state of the French army. Already a most severe investigation has been ordered by the Emperor, who, without regarding for a moment the elevated rank of the guilty parties, has energetically declared his firm intention of exposing all the truth, whatever it may be, to the face of day. Unfortunately it is to be feared that the Emperor will not be seconded as he could desire to be in the interest of the country, in the rude task of justice that he has imposed on himself. The new penal code which is to come into operation on the Ist of January next, has been received at Warsaw. The general principles on which the code is based arc, it is known, entirely opposed to those of the French legislation, which at present is in operation in Poland. This event, however, has produced very little sensation, and for the moment nothing seems to menace the per fect tranquillity which reigns in Poland, all the inha bitants of which, without exceptions of classes, ap pear profoundly discouraged from the recollection of the political convulsions of the last year. There reigns at present a little disquietude among the people of Little Russia, in consequence of the sudden arrest, at Cracow, of four professors and some students of the University. The motives of this proceeding were kept a secret, but it was generally attributed to the clandestine publication of some works in which the Rus sian Government was severely attacked with reference to the question of Polish nationality. At the commence ment of the month a writer, M. Kulesza, who passed for one of the authors of this work, has also been arrested at the moment at which he passed through Warsaw on his way to a foreign country, and he was immediately sent to St. Petersburgh. THE ROMAN-DUTCH LAW. The Zuid- Afrikaan, of the 19th of April, publishes reports of proceedings instituted against Lieutenant- Colonel Lindsay, for flogging the boy Smith, a youth who refused to obey some direction given by the Lieutenant-Colonel, and prefaced the reports, which we also subjoin, with the following remarks :—Th• session of the Circuit Court at Graham's Town, held on the sth instant, has been exceedingly important. The criminal calendar was unusually heavy, and con tained a variety of offences, but the interest of a par ticular case appears to have surpassed that of all the rest. The unfortunate Albany youth, Smith, so shamefully ill-treated duringthe first act of the Kafir war, by order of Lieutenant-Colonel Lindsay, had— assisted by the sympathy of the community—insti tuted an action at his own instance, criminal as well as civil, in order by that process to obtain that re. dress to which, as a British subject, he had such an indubitable right. The result of those actions is set forth in the subjoined report, and we regret to say, that it is all but calculated to allay the public anxiety on the subject. The public—that is, in this instance, the whole colony from one extremity to the other — had, since the occurrence of the painful event, been seized by the greatest indignation, and naturally watched with more than ordinary vigilance the pro ceedings connected therewith. Those present in the immediate vicinity of the place where the heartrend ing scene occurred, immediately came forward laud. ably to support the poor injured person—the son of a needy widow—sensible that, separated even from that consideration, the limitation even of such wilful excess of authority was a matter affecting the entire community. They have, by adopting that course, made W I case their own ; and nothing can nor ought to crew less surprise than the great interest displayed on every hand with respect to this prosecution ; an interest not a little augmented by the fact that this is the first casein which, if we mistake not, an indivi dual has been compelled to secure the protection of the law at his own instance and expense. It is not our intention at present to enter into any detailed discussion of the refusal on the part of the public prosecutor to afford redress to the injured party in the usual course of law. He is not bound, we believe, to give any explanation on that head; nor is it, we presume, of any im portance, to be made acquainted with it just now. The public have nobly taken the case into their own hands, and we are satisfied that nothing is or can be calculated to divert them from this honour able task. They have the greatest interest in the decision of the matter, involving a guarantee against such wanton abuse of power, as is said to have been committed in the case at issue. It is a known fact that the most respectable classes of our burghers have been in the Zeld during the present war, and as no one is able to penetrate the dark veil of futurity, and to give an assurance that such service will never again be required, it is naturally of importance that the point respecting the exercise of military authority in such times be for ever properly decided, Any doubt in that respect cannot fail to have a highly pre judicial effect upon the dispositions of the most able defenders the colony ever had. The fate of the two actions is, as already stated, fully set forth in the subjoined report of the trial— the one having failed on account of a technical ex-: ception of which the defendant ingeniously availed himself; and the other referred to the Supreme Court by the judge himself, We expressly refrain for the present from making any remarks on these proceedings, fully concurring in those made by thg local paper, and which, as will be seen, emphatically allude to the hardship imposed upon the plaintiff to send his witnesses to Cape Town—a distance of 600 miles and upwards. But one remark we beg to add in conclusion, and this is embraced in the question, what could have prevented the judge to hear the wit nesses in the civil suit, leaving the arguments and the decision thereon to the Supreme Court ? If I mistake not, this course has been followed in more than one instance. CRIMINAL CASE. Lieut.-Colonel Lindsay, 21st Regiment, for assault on John Smith: This was a proscution instituted by the aggrieved party against the officer named, for having, while in command of Fort Peddie, in the middle of last year, caused him, without trial, to be stripped, tied up, and flogged, for refusing , to go out and cut firewood for the post, at a time when the country round was in fested with Kafirs. This case, it will be seen, broke out at the very outs - et. The Attorney-General had declined to bring the action, and the case had, at the request of the parties been removed from the Supreme Court to the Circuit Court at Graham's Town. The Court was crowded and the proceedings were listened to with great interest. Mr. Attorney Jarvis proceeded to state his ex ception to the proceedings, namely, the non-com pliance with the 20th section of the 40th ordinance,. and 69th section of rules of the Supreme -Court, making it imperative on parties who should prosecute any case after being declined by the prosecutor to enter into: cognisances and find sureties for the costs of such f• r ecution. Mr.. 'en contended with great warmth against this ion, arguing that the required security had be ..ered to the acting clerk of the peace, who had net considered it of importance, and which, there fore, had not been given ; but that he then tendered the required recognisances. He trusted that a case of this high importance would not be got rid of by a frivolous objection. Counsel was proceeding to make some strong remarks upon the merits of the case, but was stopped by the Court, his Lordship remarking that he could not permit him to indulge in any , personalities in addressing the Court on a tech nical point ; that the Court knew nothing of the case except what appeared on the face of the in dictment—namely, that it was a simple assault on a person named John Smith; but that if, as had been stated, the case involved matters arising out of the late proclamation of martial law, then it was a sub ject which could only be fairly and advantageously discussed before the Supreme Court, where her Majesty's Attorney-General would be present to defend, if they admitted of defence, the acts of the the Government. Counsel must be aware that he had no argument here when the rules of the Supreme Court and these had not been complied with, hence the case could not be entertained. It was absurd to argue that the observance of those rules in that case ' had been waived by Mr. Wienand, the acting clerk of the peace, who had no such authority, and any such plea could not be listened to for a moment. [The Acting Clerk of the Peace explained to the Court that he had not given his assent to any such informality as that in question ; it was a matter in which he had nothing to do, and he had stated so, having told the attorney in the case, Mr. Roberts, that he had no authority as clerk to the resident magistrate to issue a summons for the attendance of Colonel Lindsay ; but he urged him to do so and he complied, Mr. Roberts saying he would take upon himself all the responsibility.] His Lordship inquired in what manner otho par ties were brought into Court? The Acting Clerk of the Peace replied, by writ of the Supreme Court. Mr. Ebden then requested that the case might be re turned to the Supreme Court. His Lordship replied he had no power to make any order whatever upon the subject, the case was not before him ; had it been, he trusted Counsel had seen sufficient of him to know that he should have treated it upon its own merits, without any reference to the rank or station of the parties. His Lordship added, that all docu nwits in the Circuit Court were returned to the Su "lie Court, and the indictment in that case, and •which was the only document sent up, would be so re turned in due course. Exception allowed and case dismissed. The ques tion of costs referred to the Supreme Court. Mr. Advocate Ebden gave notice that the process would be carried on in the Supreme Court. 4 . CIVIL CASE.-J. SMITH V. MAtTIN LINDSAY. On' 111 : ursdply' the action 111 0 :iin;‘,t Lieut.-Colonel Lindsay,•at the suit of John Smith, for damagkiaid at 1,0001., for having caused him to be flogged at Fort Peddle, &c., came on for hearin g , Mr. Advocate Ebden appearing for plai n tiff, and Mr. Attorney Jarvis for defendant. The Court suggested that the case shoUld be removed by consent to the Supreme Court in Cape Town. This the counsel for the plaintiff stated he could not consent to, dwelling very forcibly upon the hardship to which plaintiff would be subjected by such removal. The Judge, on the other hand, contended that the case was one which involved questions connected with the promulgation of martial law, and which he felt it his duty, with or without consent, to remove to the Supreme Court, where alone it could be properly determined. The counsel for the prosecution then moved that costs might be given him, and on the court demurring to this, en tered into a lengthened and warm argument, the ob ject of which was to show that the course of justice in this case had been improperly turned aside. The judge, with eloquence and dignity, rebuked counsel for the intemperance of his language, and again pointed out forcibly the impropriety of his determin ing singly a case involving matters of such vital mo ment, and which was connected with the acts of the Government while defending the colony. He had consulted his brother judges, and they were of opinion that it would be improper to entertain a question of such moment on circuit. Case removed accordingly, and the question of costs referred also for the con sideration of Supreme Court. This decision of the court seems to bear ex tremely hard upon the plaintiff, who is clearly entitled to redress for hiiiing been treated with indignity and cruelty by order of the de fendant. The judge has givqn his reasons for im posing on the injured party, a poor youth, the neces sity of taking his witnesses to Care Town, a distance of 600 miles, and in which, it must be admitted, there is considerable force. Without prejudging the case, we may say that we have al , Altys viewed the act of Col. Lindsay as a wanton stretch of arbitrary power, not warranted by the rules of the military . service, still less by martial or any other law then in force. Still we are quite willing that Co'onel Lindsay should be dealt with fairly, and that everything should be said in his defence that can be urged; but on the other hand his rank in the service must not screen him from the consequences of the commission of an illegal act. Standing, however, as the judges of this eolony do, high in the estimation of the public for fearless independency, it may be confidently assumed that the whole matter will in their hands be so disposed of as shall fully meel.ll2._city222.2_iblic justice.

During the last year a considerable and profitable business has been transacted by the bank. The nett profits of the year's business at Adelaide showed an increase over last year. The nett total of profits at Adelaide and L( idon for 1846-7, after every deduction, including the 1,0001. voted to the directors at the last meeting, was 9,3831. 14s. 2d., the balance of undivided profits on the 31st of May, 1147, was 11,6001. 19s.

The directors recommended that from this balance the sum of 1,6001. be applied in reduc tion of preliminary expenses, and that 1,000/. be added to the reserve fund, leaving a sum more than sufficient for a dividend at the rate of five per cent. per annum. After some discussion the report was adopted. J. B. White, Esq., was elected a director in the place of the late G. Davenport, Esq., and Sir J. Pixie, Bart., was also re elected. A vote of thanks was passed to th e directors, to Mr. Wheeler, the London manager, and to the board and manager at Adelaide, when the meeting separated. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON RAILWAY. —Tuesday an inquest was held by Mr. W. Carter, at the Crooked Billet, Penge-common, as to the death of Mr. George Joseph Buckmaster, the sc n of the landlord of the Annerley Arms Tavern, who was killed by an engine on the Croydon Railway on Thursday evening last. The particulars of this case have so re cently appeared that it is unnecessary to go into the evi dence, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." RUMOURED DESIGN ON THE LIFE OF THE KING OP DENNIARR.—Letters and journals from Copenhagen of the 20th and 21st do not say a syllable to induce us to attach credit to the statement of the Cologne Gazette, of a man having been found in the ante-chamber of the King armed with loaded pistols and a poniard. The statement must therefore be considered devoid of truth. —Galignani. CORK, JUNE 27.—Wind S.W.—Arrd. Peru, thuiiNot, folk Island; Jona, Wilkie, Philadelphia.
