EVENING EDITION. THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE QUEEN. No mew facts of any importance have bean brought to light ;int* the assassin was committed to Newgate. There are various conjectures thrown out in the Sunday mad carsqtrY papers, and numerous details of the habits, es,nnexions, and family of the wretched youth, from which we have made ostracts, is addition to the following letter, reastivei from owr Birmingham Correspondent : " Birniingitana, Saturday morning. ` 4 As every particular connected with the history and fapily onnaexton of the individual who has earned for himself 3Q infamous a notoriety by his atrocious attempt en the lice of our youthful Sovereign, roust prove of in terest at the pretent moment, I have been at some pains to ,collect tse following facts, upon the aecuracv of which you may place the utmost reliance. The grandfather of t'he prisoner, Edward Oxford, was a man of colour, and was born in London, but little is known of his history, except what may be gathered from the fact of his hav ing been placed in his old age on the Greenwich Elospital ettablishinont, where it is believed he died. His son, George Oxford (the father of the misguided youth whose guilt was so nigh plunging a nation in mourning,) was bound apprentice to a goldsmith and jeweller in the City, a trade in which he appeasS to have been exceedingly clever, for, on his arrival in Birmleghana, about five-aid-twenty years ago, he was eagerly sought after and employed by the princi- Pat saanitaciarers in the town, and the fruits of his earn ings enabled him in a very short time to commence busi ness on his own account. The trade of a gold chaser, whieh he followed, being then ver3 profitable, he, with the assistance of his apprentices, was known to earn a large sum of nidney, frequently so much as from twenty to thirty pounds per week. Being a man licentious in character and uncontrollable in his passions, he launched out into every vice when he became possessed of the means of gratifyine , his favourite propensities." After giving, an account o f the manner in which the marriage took place between the prisoner's parents, oar Correspondent adds that, " the family having been unsuccessful in Birmingham, came to Loadon, where the father died in 1829. Imme nyeitately after this event, tte widow and her children returned to their native place, and were received by Mr. Markiew into his house. At this period, Edward Ox ford, whose name has become so notorious, was between wren tad eight years of age, and was remarkable for a wayward and passionate temper—quick and lively in ima gination, but of a " tractious" disposition. Ile was sent to school by his grandfather, from whom he received the nude education whisks he possesses. His mother having obtained a situation as housekeeper in the family of Mr. Prescott, hanker, of London, went to live there, leaving her children under the care of her relatives, and, during het absence, two of them died. Finding her circumstances eetaLtled her to support the remainder of her family, they were sent at her request to London, and have continued to live with her ever since." The Birmingham Journal, of Friday, gives the follow isg account of the prisoner's family:— " It appears that some twenty-five years ago, a man ivied George Oxford, a Mulatto, and a gold chaser by trade, came from London to reside in Birmingham. He was accompanied by a man named Plenscoe, and another knows by the name of Harry. All three were of the same trade. At that time gold chasing was very little, if at all known in Birmingham ; and Oxford and his companions haviag been the first to introduce that branch of mann- Eaoture into the taws, they enjoyed a sort of monopoly, and earned very high wages in consequence—as much, it is said, as 10/. per week each. The ressalt was that Oxford was led into a life of extravagance and dissipation ; and from the frivolities and appearance of his manners, he be came suite a known character. He aseel bo drive about the town, and to piny off a variety of eccentricities, and by many was cresiguated the fawner/ beau." " This man married the daughter. of a tavern :keeper in Bi r „,,i gg h am , named Niarklew. Tbey had several chil dren, of whom Edward Oxford was one. The father was implicated wish a gang of coiner!, and afterwards went to London, where he lived wretchedly, and obtained a liveli hood by sellinv, pies, and " from a lower and less credit aide source." Ile once stabbed his wife, and absconded until she recovered. " Edward was sent to London by his grandfather in the year 1833, and has remained in London since that time. tie had when in Birmingham what is termed a teating, fictitious temper : he was passim/ate, bat did not display any symptoms of insanity. lie was sent to school by Mr. Marklew, who paid attention to his education ; and the boy appeased passeesed of great acuteness and capa city for learning. From the time he left Birmingham, he was never eammanioated with any of the family ; nor did any of the relations reocise any letter from him or his mother from drat time till the recent visit. His friends here are deeply atfectrd at his conduct, and utterly at a kes to conceive the motives which could have impelled him. Hls motier when is Birmingham statal, after she bad heard of the eccurrence, that her son had presented a pistol at her some time ago. ihc also remembered that her son had been in the habit of attending a shooting-gallery in 1,- - snelon, and that he was deemed a very goo(' marksman. The cpi:;i:m of his uncle is, that the youth has been the tool of some designing viliains. As every thing oonaected with this youth is, at the present moment, interesting, the followiaz incident way not be deemed unworthy of notice, About txo years ago, his Rust was in London, and went to visit him at the King's Read, Hounslow, where he was then engaged as besman for his aunt, Mrs. Fowell, who ewned-tlar house. While there, a boy about the same age as Oxford was amusing himself in the house orith a 14'47i aria a-row, firing at a mark ; Oxford asked the boy ass Jell out his hand as a mark, but the other refused; acon which Oxford said he wouki bold out his hand if the other would ire at it; he did so, but the boy fired an:l missed ; Oxford thou said; Now let ale fire at your i , :a.nd;" the bov, ashamed to refuse, held up his hand at a c - o .,Laiderable distance, and Oxford took aini, and instantly swiek th_: boy's hand violently in the centre, evidently . abowing his superiority in that species of a clusament, and th.a oarrectnese of his aim." Osiord'e great grandfather was a black man, he came to Englarsel none of the family can tall." The follewingparticnlars we select from the Observer :- Iv t faultily of Oxford appears to be well known in the rouieboutl . ; , ,sod of Lamhrth, they having resided for a considerable pctiod at Miss Pigot'a, corner of Garden road, 8% Gstor;:e's-road. The house in which they now reside is not aituated in `Vest -strut, \Vest-square, Lam beth, but in West-place, running out of West-square, to. wards the rear •f Bethlehem Hospital. It is a small nar r,aw turning, and the house in question is the one nearest the equate. It has on the front, over the window, a board, en which is painted the words Packman, house-painter and glazier.' The inmates, we understand, consist of Mrs. Rickman, who rapt+ the house, but occupies only the par lours ; Mr. and Mrs. Phelps, the brother-in-law and sister of Oxford. oacupying the front room oi the first floor, and in she back room Mrs Oxford. the mother of the prisoner, resider, until she left for Birmingham, when her son occu pied icesstead. On the second floor, in the front roam, reaisted Mr Wegropp, a person living upon his income; and in file hack room, Mr. Sutherland, who holds a situa tion as land's: waiver in the Customs. The former is a middle aged man, and a native of the sinter country ; and the latter is apparently twenty-five or twenty-six years of age. These were the only inmates of the Lowe, with the exeeption of an old lady named F,vans, who has been de scribed as the housekeeper,' but who is another sister of Mrs Packvc-an, the landlady. The police have directed their attention more particu. laxly to the habits and connexioas of the inmates of the lustier, and the intimacy that subsisted between them and she prisoner. In ardor to furnish our readers with a faithful outline of their movements, we cannot do better than de csibe what took place after the prisoner's committal to Nategate ou the charge of hign treason. The prisoner's sister, Mrs 'Phelps, accompanied by her busiband and the son of Mrs. Packman, their landlady, whose name is Jones, and who is a waiter at a *Tern in Lambeth, proceeded to West-place, and upon arriving there they found two constables in possession of the house. The officers regarded them with a scrutinizing look, mad at tatervala were engaged in earnoet conversation. They said, in answer to Mrs. Packman's remarks, that they were plaited there merely to notice any person who might call .sod enk for Oxford. The sister Sciog in a very distressed and exha.oated state, her husband said he would go up stairs mad get some tea and sugar. upon which one of the consta bles whispered to the (viler ass Phelps was leaving the roam, "Go after him." Mrs. Packmatea son immediately observed, " For God's sake, don't let ns throw any impedi ment is their way," and thereupon the effictir accompanied Mr. Phelps to get them. At this time Inspectors Pearce and Hughes wire at Mr. Tlownrd'a, the City Arms public-house, at the corner of We4-street, West-square, those officers having delivered their prisoner to the custody of the Govern:Jr of Newgate. Jones Ras sent for by them, and closely questioned as to the habits sod resources of Mr. —, and the result was tnatthat party was po i nte d out to the Inspectors, and he proffered them p erm i ss i on to search his room. A minute search wit; accordingly made but without any important roeutt. Th habits and haunts of the individual alluded to are " .17 i 11‘ , ohlect of scrutiny by the police. It has been "ascertained that it is hie n f cast °m hour in the m orn i ng, and notretutronquunittihlo a me lat a c t a h n ou e r ar i l n y the evenieg.

It is said that Oxford at times showed an irritability of temper and want of control over his actions, and that he Was at other times exceedingly indolent. He frequently confined himself to his room for a whole week, merely quitting it to take his meals ; during such periods he stu diously applied himself to nautical works, going to sea, and a desire to distinguioh himself in the navy, being his greatest Ambition.

With the greatest feelings of pride and pleasure, we have to thank you, in the name of our excellent friend Mr. Dowton, and our (min, for the good house you gave him on Monday night. Nothing could surpass the sym pathy he met with, both before the curtain and behind it, and from all descriptions of persons concerned, foreign as well as native. It was truly the public crowning of his days. At the same time you will look upon it as no sordid in timation, but only such as is due to your own wishes, for the entire working out of whatsoever may still be necessary and generous, if we remind you, that the best benefit was not expected to complete the fund requisite to Mr. Dow ton's tranquillity, without a like fulness on part of the subscription; and that the subscription accordingly is still going on, as will be seen by its advertisement. Be pleased once more to accept the heartfelt thanks of THE COMMITTEE FOR MR. DOWTON. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—From all parts of the country we have most cheering accounts respecting the weather and the appearance of the growing cro p s . el various parts of Lincolnshire whole fields of wheat are shot into ear, and have every appearance of producing a very heavy yield. Harvest is expected to commence generally in the North of Lincolnshire and East-Riding of Yorkshire, not later than the middle of August. The hay harvest has already commenced and will be general in about a fortnight. —H e n _p acket. ,ik e l e r t . ng, whi c h J.

On Saturday a general meeting of the proprietors and debenture holders of this Society was held at their Chambers, No. 10, Buckingham-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving from the Trustees their first annual report of the proceedings of the Institution. Mr. CORNELIUS O'BRIEN, M.P., took the Chair at half past three o'clock. He said that he felt it a great honour to preside at that meeting, and he was happy to contribute towards promoting the objects of a Society calculated so much to benefit the public at large, as he thought that Institution was. As far as he was able to judge from the accounts he had read—and he had read them very attentively—the objects of the Society were of very great importance to trade.—(Hear.) The Society had rendered much assistance to the working classes, by taking them out of the hands of the pawn brokers, and be thought, from the attention that was yet likely to be given to it, that it would be able to effect much more in future.--( Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman then called on the Secretary, Mr. Simpson, to read the notice by which the meeting was convened, after which Mr. S. read the following Report : The Directors of the Westminster Discount Loan and Investment Society, enrolled pursuant to Act of Parliament, sth and Gth W. IV. cap. 23, in meeting the Proprietors and Debenture holders for the first time, have much pleasure in laying before them the following Report of the transactions of this institution, since its first operations in July 1839. "The Directors have much satisfaction in stating that the intentions of the promoters have been realised beyond their most sanguine expectation, and that they have been enabled to assist, by the funds of this So ciety, upwards of 3,000 of the industrious classes of the community to the extent of 20,000/. in loans and discounts. The individuals who have participated in the advantages afforded by this Society, consist of the following trades and professions., viz., Government Of ficers and Clerks, Mechanics, General Dealers, Butch ers, Shoemakers, Tailors, and Drapers, and numerous other persons, many of whom are females engaged in pursuits of honest industry. In this respect this insti tution differs from most others who refuse aid to these individuals. . _ _ " The Directors have further satisfaction in stating that the profits arising from this establishment have been considerable, and that they have hitherto sus tained no losses, a circumstance which they attribute to the great caution exercised by the Managers of this institution, in ascertaining the moral character, as well as the responsibility of the respective borrowers. It is with much pleasure the Directors observe that after defraying all expenses, fitting up offices, books, and stationery, salaries, and advertising, (the latter forming a very heavy item in the expenditure) they are enabled, independently of the interest of 5 per cent to add a bonus of 2 per cent. to the capital of those de benture holders whose deposits have been in the hands of this Society for a period of six months and upwards. " To the Proprietors a considerable dividend is avail able, and the Directors are enabled to make a reserve fund for contingencies to be invested in Government Securities. " In conclusion, the Directors beg to state, in order to show the beneficial effects of this Society, that three fourths of the borrowers have had their loans renewed. Mr. `ALTERS then said he had been requested to move the first resolution, which was to the effect— " That the Report now read be received, adopted, and that the Meeting records its high gratification at the satisfactory nature of that Report, and also that the same be printed with the proceedings of this day, for general circulation." He regretted that the task of moving the Resolution had not devolved upon some one more competent than himself. But still, though he felt unequal to the task, he could not refrain from congratulating the meeting on the satisfactory nature of the Report, as it was very properly expressed in the Resolution which he had just read.—(Hear, hear.) When institutions of this description were first brought forward, and claimed the confidence and support of the public, many doubts arose as to how far it was prudent to encourage them. But when the result had proved to be such as the meeting had this day learned from the Report, there could no longer be any hesitation as to the degree of support which the Institution deserved at the handset the Members and of the public at large. He might be allowed to observe, in reference to institutions of that description, that they appeared originally to have arisen from motives of benevolence. They were originally proposed by kind persons, to afford to struggling trades men the means of keeping on their business, and of overcoming the difficulties by which they were sur rounded. Benevolent associations were established, subscriptions forming the capital, and loans were made. But it was soon discovered that the same benevolence which led to the formation of those associations pre vented the lenders from enforcing the payment of the loans ; and it was found that all was going out, and that there was nothing coming in. —(Hear, hear)—.sa that at length the voluntary system was abandoned, and the commercial system of giving and receiving was adopted in its stead.—(Hear, hear.) But the better system was not altogether unmixed with evil ; and an Act of Parliatneat was passed for the purpose of giving facility to those institutions, and of compelling them to adopt regulations for their government. But he re gretted to say that one of the greatest evils that could creep into such societies was not guarded against by the Act of Parliament ; and they were, therefore found to be too closely connected with beer-shops and public houses.—(Hear, hear.) It was not by any means his wish to disparage other societies ; but yet it was right to observe that this was the first Society of the kind which separated its important objects from so discre ditable and injurious a connection.—(Hear.) How highly beneficial such institutions could be must be evi dent to every person who would merely observe one feature which had been set forth in the Report, namely, that upward of three thousand loans had been made. Mr. NICHOLLS—No ; it is more than that. The statement of the Report is that three thousand persons have been benefited.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. WALTERS continued—True ; he had committed an oversight. The fact was that 3,000 persons had been benefited, and 20,000/. had been put into circula tion, which would not have been circulated if it had not been for that Society —(Hear.) There was another circumstance connected with the proceedings of the Society which showed how well its principles were car ried out, and how well they worked. There had not been a single loss j; we the first loan that was made to the present day.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Thus it would be seen that by connecting men's inte rest with their duty much more good was done than ever had been effected by heedless benevolence, in subscrib ing to similar institutions.—( Hear, hear.) The Re. port contained also a statement of those expenses without which the business of the Society could not be carried on, and upon which it was not necessary for him to trouble the meeting with any observations. He had now only to move the resolution which he had read, and he had no doubt it would be cordially agreed to by every one who felt any interest in the Institution. Mr. MILTON seconded the resolution. he must state he looked upon thi s as a mereancit'l es ion The CHAIRMAN said that before he put the u t• were better. car fl rie e d th o o u u t, gh a t nd the th ir e m n o e s x t t im w p a o s rta to nt s b ee u m sn . e cern. If the public were benefit e d by it so to look that the provisions of th e A c t of Par'li proper means, according t o th e A c t o f Parliament, could make money.

If the public were benefited by the pr o p e r management of that and similar institutions so much th e better, but that must be regarded after all as a secondary consi deration.—( Hear, hear.) tut a e s hi tsm, wte o hbina n eyst - The resolution was then put and carried with applause. Mr. WALTERS was sorry to be called upon to more the next resolution. He hoped he should not be the servant-of-all-work to the m eeting—(A laugh)—but he must confess that the work which he had to perform was one of pleasure.—(Hear.) He had been requested to move—" That the thanks of the meeting be pre sented to the Trustees for their services ; and in parti eu!ar to the Managing Trustee, Charles Kerry Ni cholls, Esq., for his very able and prudent conduct in carrying on the affairs of this Society." In that reso alust greati on e pl had eas a n r o e de t in moving meeting ( H e o e n a c r u , r v‘•hear.)ith They, who were themselves men of business, need scarcely be informed, that however admirable in princi ple or theory any institution or any particular body, undertaking, or system might be, unless those principles were carried out in a proper manner, its objects never would succeed. To carry on a society of this kind with advantage, it was necessary that the mana ging trustee should poss ess a sound and penetrating judgment—a practical knowledge of human nature---a perfect power of discriminating, as it were, instinctively, the honest from the dishonest—above all things, that he should possess honour and integrity—(Hear, hear.) Without these qu a liti es h e wou ld no t give them a week's purchase for thei r i n t erest i n th e institution. But they had a manager who possessed these qualifications, and brought there i n t o exerc i se d a ily a nd hourly for the advan tage of the S oc i e t y —(A pp l ause ) --and he was sure they would pa ss th e rero l u ti on with perfect acquiescence— (Hear, h ear .) Alr J. TAYLOR seconded the resolution, and most cordially concurred in every word that had fallen from the g en tl eman who last a dd ress ed the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said he fully concurred in the senti ments expressed in the resolution, and in the speech of the g en tl eman who move d i t , an d he had no doubt that , every gentleman in the room would hold up his hand in its favour. The resolution was accordingly carried unanimously. Mr. NICHOLLS begged leave to return thanks for himself and his colleagues. The objects of the insti tution had been so well stated by Mr. Walters and the Hon. Chairman, that he would not trouble the meeting by hny further observations re pi sting them , but would oii!y add thlt the Society CIA not confine it; benefits to Westminster, but extended thew to twenty milea around the Metropolis.—(Hear.) As Mr. Walters had justly observed, that the Manager ought to have an interest in the Society, he (Mr. Nicholls) would only observe that he was a large proprietor, and that in the course of the last ten years he had had five millions sterling in his hands.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped he should meet the proprietors next year, in the same capacity of their trustee and manager. —(Hear.) He assured them that he devoted all his time to the business of the Society, from morning to night, and he hoped to continue to do so until the day of his death.—( Applause.) Mr. O'Brien having left the chair, and Mr. Frederick Augustus \ hitaker having been voted thereto, Mr. NICHOLLS moved, and Mr. SHELL seconded, a vote of thanks to Cornelius O'Brien, Esq., for his dig nified conduct in the chair. The motion was agreed to amidst applause. Mr. O'BRIEN, in acknowledging his sense of the ho nour done him i❑ the vote which had been so hand somely agreed to, said that he was a very inexperienced chairman. He had expressed, as he always was accus tomed to do, what he felt, and no more.—(Hear.) He was a man of business and no more, and he could not think that he was an ornament to any chair.—(Yes, yes.) a was now his duty to state that this meeting, which had passed in so satisfactory a manner, was ad journed, and the parties who were concerned had every reason to expect next year to receive from their trus tees a still more gratifying Report.—(Applause.) The meeting then adjourned. OPENING OF THE GREAT WEST ERN RAILWAY TO STEVENTON. For some time past attention has been drawn to this great work, from its near approach to this city and the neighbourhood, and on Saturday last, it having been completed as far as Steventon, it was the scene of much animation and bustle, and from the intention of the Directors to visit it preparatory to its being opened for the public accommodation on Monday having got currency in Abingdon and the neighbourhood, a considerable concourse of people flocked to wit ness, to them, the novel mode of locomotive convey ance. At half-past twelve o'clock the Directors and a large party of ladies, amongst whom was Lady Bar rington, arrived at the station in the first-class train of carriages, which were preceded by a splendid engine, the Charon. Amongst the Directors we noticed C. Russell, Esq., late M.P. for Reading, the Chairman of the Board of Directors ; Viscount Barrington, M.P., H. Symonds, Riversdale, Greenfell, F. Gower, Esqrs., and Mr. Brunel, the engineer, Mr. Saunders, Secretary, &c. The Directors having inspected the works, with which they appeared highly satisfied, retired with their friends to the station, where they partook of a cold collation prepared for the occasion, after which they returned by the same train to their respective places of destination. The journey from London to Steventon was performed in the almost incredible period of one hour and ten minutes! Sunday being remarkably fine, a great number of persons were attracted to the line, who, as well as the men employed on the works, we were glad to observe behaved themselves with the most be coming decorum and propriety. On Monday (the day fixed for the opening of the Railway) it was fortunately fine, and at an early hour crowds flocked to witness the departure of the first train. Steventon is only ten miles from Oxford, and four from Abingdon. Numberless were the vehicles, filled with passengers of all descriptions, that flocked to the station, to say nothing of the pedestrians, who were very numerous. A quar ter past eight was the time fixed for the departure of the first train from Steventon. A new engine, the Tiger, was put on the rails, decorated with flags of many colours, and garlands of flowers and evergreens. There were four carriages, two of the first class and two of the second, each containing 72 passengers. The train left Steventon, amidst the cheers of the assembled crowd, at ten minutes past eight, reached the Moulsford station at 24 minutes past eight, stayed there 2:c minutes, reached Pangbourne at 37A- minutes past eight, stayed two minutes, reached Reading at 50 minutes past eight, stayed ten minutes for the pur pose of putting on two second and one first class carriages, reached Twyford at 12 minutes past nine, stayed 1a minute, reached Maidenhead at 281 mi nutes past nine, stayed 3i minutes, reached Slough at 46 minutes past nine, stayed 3, 1 , minutes, and then, passing ali the intermediate stations, arrived at Paddington, its final destination, at 21 minutes past ten, completing the journey of 57 miles in two hours and 11 minutes ; or, deducting the 23 minutes for stoppages, in the short space of one hour and 48 minutes. The speed of travelling is of course unequal, from the stoppages at the different stations, but one mile, between Steventon and Pangbourne, was done at the terrific rate of 60 miles an hour. This was merely to show the power of the engine, the average speed being 31 or 32 miles an hour. The sce nery on different parts of the road is splendid, more especially near the Pangbourne station ; you catch a glimpse of Reading as you pass the station, which seems to be building on a grand scale : the other parts of the road are no doubt familiar to our readers. The first train on the Tuesday morning, by the Evening Star, reached Steventon, from Paddington, in two hours ten minutes and a half. (The journey from Oxford to London may now be performed easily MI three hours and a half, so that per sons (as several to our knowledge did on Monday) may leave Oxford early in the morning, spend eight Lours in London, and return to Oxford the same evening. Whether this will operate to the injury of the many or only of the few, remains yet to be seen ; one instance of its facility has been sent us as follows : " FACILITY OF RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—The im portant advantages attending this mode of travelling was put to the test by Mr. Hedges, a butcher, residing in this city, who, being in want of a supply of beasts, repaired on Monday last, by the mail train from the Steventon station to Smithfield market, where he purchased four fine oxen, and had them eon ; veyed the same day by the Railway to Steventon, and snugly deposited in his slaughter-house the follow ing day, as free from fatigue as when he purchased them ; they were killed and sold in Oxford market on Wednesday. How this may operate to the injury of the graziers we will not hazard a conjecture, but merely state that it is confidently anticipated by those better versed in such matters than we profess to be, that by this means of communication advan tage will be taken of the overstocked London markets, which will have the effect of very materially reducing the price of beef; and consequently decreasing the graziers' profits in this and other parts of the country where railroads are in operation." Monday at Steventon was a complete holiday. Booths and shows of every description were present, and thousands of persons arrived from Oxford, Abing don, and the neighbourhood, to join in the festivities. We are happy to say we have not heard that a single accident of any kind took place. Speculations on the good or evil to result from this great revolution, whether it be for the one or the other, it would be useless to enter into at present with any hope of success as to extricating ourselves from the mazes of the labyrinth it must necessarily lead us into. Certain it is that it will be the ruin to a great extent of much property ; by what good that is to be balanced remains to be seen. For instance, the trustees of St. Clement's turnpike will lose something like 5001. a-year ! Persons also who do not like travelling by the railroads will find great difficulty in getting up to town any other way, as we understand that all the coaches, with the exception of about one, will be transferred to the Great Western Railway. The London papers will be down here by eleven o'clock in the day. Such are a few of the changes that will take place. We perceive that a line of road is marked out for a Government railway from the Great Western at Ste venton through this city to Banbury and Worcester to Rugby, but hear that there is little chance of its being executed,—Orford Herald, Saturday. AN UNSEEMLY AND DISTRESSING SCENE. —We regret to have to record another of those painful and re volting exhibitions caused by the conflict of Protestant bigotry with Catholic conscientiousness, which have so often of late disgraced the district of Furness. On Monday last, a poi)" woman of the name of Elizabeth M'Carry, aged 50, died at Ulverston, and, being a Roman Catholic, her friends were of course anxious that she should have the funeral rites performed over her remains in accordance with the ceremonial of her Church. Notice was accordingly given for Thursday, the day of interment, to the parish clerk to have the bier and pall in readiness by eight o'clock to go to the Catholic Chapel. No attention was paid to the summons, and accordingly, as that functionary was not to be found, though a special messenger was despatched, the only alternative was to lift the corpse on the shoulders of four men, covered with a sheet lent by a kind neighbour. It was in this way conveyed to the Catholic Cha pel, where the Rev. B. M'llugh performed the usual ser vice. It was thence removed to the gates of the parish .church, which were c l ose d . I n the yard was standing the offi ciating minister, who informed the sorrowing relatives that it was before the usual time, but he would nevertheless proceed to the ceremonial, if they would bring the body into the church, that the burial service might be read. This could not be ac ceded to, and the minister cons equent l y re f use d th e m admi ss i on into the church-yard, and alleged that he was acting in ac cordance with instructions he had received from the Bishop. The b o d y was t h en l eft i n charge of the Rev. G ent l eman, the friends of the deceased telling him that if it must be forced into the church he should carry it there himself. It was accordingly lifted within the precincts of the sacred edifice, the words of the prayer-book were muttered over it, and it was then consigned to the (lust.

FEROCIOUS ATTACK BY A BOAR.--011 Sa turday, the 24th ult., as Mr. Robert Pering, of Attaleigh, was returning home from Cornworthy Church, on horseback, he met near his residence a boar of his, which had escaped f rom the yard; on t urn i ng it hack, Mr. P. rode by its side quietly for a considerable distance, when he altered his pac e a li ttle, in orde r t o k eep th e an imal in the right path ; on this the en raged creature sprang to the horse with such fury, that both it and tha rider were in an instant laid prostrate on th e ground. The hors e , w hi c h a pp e ared to be the object of attack, received a wound in the shoulder, about four inches in length, from the boar's tusk, but Air. P. escaped unhurt. From th e qu i et ap pearance of the boar sometime previous, Mr. H. offered t o l a y a wager that, he would safely thrust his hand td its mouth, but we doubt `.dialler 'au has Lim milli( ctiLiultim iu hi now. ..Plymouth Journal. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) A most important piec. of Church preferment has just become vacant, and is now at the disposal of the Crown ; we refer to the Wardenship of the Collegiate Church of Manchestc. We trust that Ministers, in filling this up, wiil be careful to select a person of active Liberal prin ciples. It should be borne in mind that Manchester is the head-quarters of the M'Neile and Stowell party. There they are in the habit of holding their anti- Irish meetings, and their " Protestant Associations" (so called). The few Liberal Protestant Clergymen in and about Manchester are, we believe, quite out-numbered, and rendered powerless for good, by the bigots and intolerants of their own body. Mani festly, then, it behoves the Government to send to this important post a person capable of acting as a counter poise to the bad and unwholesome influence exercised by Mr. M'Neile and his coadjo , ors in the unholy office of stirring up religious and political discord. It strikes us, that in order to do this effectually, it would be expedient that the appointment in question should be given to some person conversant with the questions these ecclesiastical agitators so grossly pervert ; who might thus have it in his power to expose the misrepresentations and calumnies which are so continually put forward by the M'Neiles and O'Sullivans against the Irish people. (From the ,taildard.) As we anticipated, the Irish Grand Jury Cess Bill was rejected last night in the House of Lords. As we also anticipated, its rejection has caused the postponement of the Irish Municipal Bill. We would hope that this postponement means adjournment sine die. Were it not, we confess that we confidently expect that when it does come before the House, the Bill may be rejected—at least in its worst provisions—on prin ciple a course which by every means we would infinitely prefer to the temporary defeat of it by any question of detail. We observe with feelings full of con fidence and pleasure, that while urging the postponement of the Bill on the unanswerable grounds laid for it in the state of the attendaNt measure, neither the Duke of Wel lington nor Lord Lyndhurst expressed the slightest opinion on the mode in which the leading provisions of the Bill when before them should be dealt with. The Bill has been postponed because it is not yet in its entirety before the Lords; and when; it is so before them (if it ever is) it is open to the Lords to deal with it as their duty may oblige them.

One of the suggestions of Sir Robert Peel, which most requires, as we:doubt not it will receive, the anxious attention of Ministers, relates to some change in the franchise, or in the machinery of exercising it, by which the mercantile in terests of Lower Canada would be more adequately repre sented in the Legislature. " He fairly owned to the Noble Lord that he thought the majority of the Representatives in the new Assembly influenced by British feelings and into terests and in favour of British connexion would be a very narrow one. He did not think that the mercantile commu nity and interests would be sufficiently represented under this Bill, and it would be a very great improvement if, IA ithout doing injustice to any party, or disturbing the territorial settlement, a full representation could be secured to the mercantile population connected with the trade to the mother country." We have at various times hereto fore endeavoured to impress the same views, but unless the elective franchise itself be materially altered and elevated in respect of the qualification, we cannot see how the ob ject can be adequately accomplished. The mere admission of the rights of copartners to separate votes, where a suffi cient value exists in the premises to cover the legal claim which each would have from separate occupation of tene ments of the amount of value entitling, will go a very little way to remedy the evil complained of. MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From the London New Price Current of June 12.) SUGAR. —This afternoon there was less life in the West India market, and only a limited demand existed for either Grocery or Refining purposes ; the sales did not exceed 500 hhds and trs : the merchants generally remained firm, and refused to sell except at former rates ; in some cases, however, they submitted to a reduction of 6d as compared with the rates of yesterday. The operations for the week amount to 1,700 hhds and tierces. REFINED —There has been an excellent demand for Refined goods since we last wrote to supply the wants of the home trade, and the supply being small, they have been compelled to pay a further advance of 6d to is per ewt ; standard lumps have fetched 90s, good and fine Titters 90a to 95s ; Hambro Loaves 91s to 995, and low to fine brown lumps Sss 6d to 89s per cwt. In Treacle a large business has been done, and at rather higher rates; patent and the best old make selling cur rently at 38s to 403, and common 36s 6d per cwt ; the supply still not sufficient for the demand. Pieces have been in good request, and former rates fully supported, low to fine qualities have been sold currently at 67s to 755. Bastards have found a free sale at last Friday's prices, common sorts are not to be had under 603 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar has been disposed of to a fair extent, first quality at 34s 6d to 34s 9d. Loaves have been in steady demand, !Olbs at 37s 61 to 383, and 141bs 375.

The arrivals have been on a more extended scale since we last wrote; and have amounted to 12,100 bags : the stock is not equal to that of last year at this period by 50,000 bags. The deliveries last week were very large, exceeding those during the same time by 3,180 bags. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon, 3,486 bags Bengal at public sale were all disposed of, upon the whole, at former prices in some instances however they went a shade cheaper; good white sold at 72s 61 to 73s 6d, middling to good middling 70s to 72a, strong bright yellow 69s to 70s 6d, damps and washed 68; 6d to 71s 64 per cwt.

The ma ket for Com pany's Congous has been very unsteady this week ; in the early part of Monday they were done at 2s 4A-d for cash, but towards the close of the day they, however, declined to 2s 3d, on Tuesday to 2s Id to 2s. and in the early part of Wednesday to 2s OAd ; they have since rallied to 2s Id a 2s lid per lb for cash, but there are tint many buyers. The stock of Tea here on the Ist was 1,177,888 lbs of Black Tea, and of Green 362,354 lbs less than it was last year at the same time.

This afternoon the market closed very dull for all sorts ,of Tea. Company's Congou on 'Change was 2s Old to 2s 0d cash. COFFEE.—The arrivals of all kinds of Coffee admis sible for home use having been large since we last wrote, together with the heavy stocks here, have produced an in creased dulness in the West India market, and have caused the merchants to be more desirous to realize ; but, al. though they have been willing to submit to a reduction on previous rates of 2s to 3s on all clean, and 3s to 4s for unclean sorts, still the trade evinced little desire to pur chase at the public sales, which have consisted of 112 casks, 386 barrels and bags, chiefly Jamaica, nearly the whole of which was taken in at the reduction noticed above. This afternoon there was very little business done in Coffee for home consumption, and the ooerations were confined to the public sales, consisting of 24 bales Mocha, and 934 bags Ceylon ; the former sold at 120sto 121 s 6d for good greenish clean garbled, being its full value, the whole of the latter was taken in, fine ordinary green at 83s to 83a 61, good ordinary pale 82s per cwt ; there were no buyers within 2s of those rates ; the market closed with a very flat appearance.
