W. Cox rose and was received with loud cheering. He entreated them to bear Mr. Justins—(" No, no")—he claimed a hearing for him as a matter of justice and courtesy. He implored them not to follow the bad example of Mr. Justins' friends in other places, but listen to what he had to say upon a question which was a very difficult one—(" No, no")—and on both sides of which a great deal was to be said.—(" No, no," and loud hooting.) Mr. Justins was a stranger, and as such entitled to their courtesy. If his facts were false, and his arguments bad, there were those present who were prepared to answer him. The attempt to still the storm was vain. The crowd, becoming more excited, made a rush towards the table, and a fight would have en sued had not Mr. Justins prudently made his retreat under the escort of a few friends I But he gained the door only to fall into worse hands. The passages and staircase were crowded with women, who, loudly protesting that they were more interested in the Corn-law question than the men, for they and their families were suffering from want of bread, saluted him with a simultaneous yell " Here comes the bread-taxer !"—" No starvation laws !" and such gentle exclamations, which were sp - _ , edily changed into a rush of petticoats,—the consequence of which would have been anything but agreeable to Mr. Justins' face and coat, had not his friends circled round him and repelled the angry wives, not, however, until they had obtained possession of his hat, which they battered to pieces." So the women, as in France, are beginning to mingle in political frays? This Mr. JUSTINS Is an agent of the Pro-Corn-law party, and what will be the result of this rival appeal to the hungry people may be easily predicted. If wheat were at 355. per quarter, we might bet on Mr. JUSTINS, but the price being nearly double that, we think he has no chance. It is not only that bread is dear, but employment is very slack. At a meeting of the hand-Loom weavers at Manchester, on Monday week, they resolved to address the Magistrates, and amongst other things, said, according to the Manchester Times— " We do not wish to disgust you with the details of our present wretchedness. Since the above-mentioned lime our wages have been reduced from 5 to 10 per cent., while provisions have advanced to such a price as atirost to threaten us with annihilation. Potatoes, which consti tute the chief part of our diet, being now beyond our relleh, and our liffcrings ars,sudfias actually to make us erwy a felon's allowance, did act the ignominy attached to it deter us from eardng the degrading qual fication. Humbly hoping that, having done so mach, you will pot petrnit us to perish before Providence shall send us so-re relief in the coming harvest, and humbly thanking you far your exertions in this season of our suffering and calamity, we remain ) ours, on behalf of the hand-loom weavers." " Patrick Flinn, in moving the first resolution, said— The fine weather which brought woik and comfort to so many had only brought more misery to them, as they were thrown on their own resources at a time when provisions were advanced 10 per cent., while their wages had been reduced from 5 to 10 per cent. Fla held in his hand a statement, wherein it could be proved that families of six, eight, sad nine persons were actually existing on 53. or 6s. per week ; the consequence of which was, it was well known, that sickness a:d death bad been very prevalent amongst them. Out of four children he had buried two, and he feared enaher mad shortly fellow in the s'eep of death. Should any sickness visit them, their emaciated state would make them easy vict:rns. Lot them raise their voices fur the only remedy uhich could ensure them that permanent relief which tine desired, and which the repeal of the Corr.-laws—those fatal laws which had caused the ruin cf their trade, the graft.dion of their order,_ and which had sent to a prexatwe grave many an honest and industrious weaver." Tie people have found out that the Corn laws murder them. The wavers accordingly passed resolutions, of which we quote the first and third : " That the distress of the hand-loom weavers is fully as severe as it was list winter, and, owing to the present adv:wiced p: ice of provisi.,:n7, ahnos; insupportable." " That thel miseries we Eave laboured tiner for many years ere attribute to the eperation of the exstii - ,g Corn laws, and we see no prespzct of amendment unless through their total and unconditional repeal." While such distress, which is unhappily very great ii our manufacturing districts, prevails, the landlords cannot enjoy their plunder in peace. They live, and mu - ;t: live, in daily apprehension. A:iether shots hat vest—men now tremble for if— v.;'.l provoke the people past. emluranc, , . Their " almost fanatical -feeling," will become a blind :IA the same cause which exhausts the treasure of the Bank, of which the D - irect.ors are afraid, will so exasperate the multitude, that they will fear no danger and dread no consequences. When that liwe co:ncs the police may slaughter the people hut will not suppr * ess insurrection. _ _ Oar Correspondent, " A Cheshire Rate-payer," should have transmitted to us the placard he has now sent at an earlier period, if he expected any good to arise from our notice of it. The Weaver Churches Bill is now gone from the House of Com mons into the House of Lords, and that Bishop led assembly is not likely to kick out a Bill, on the score of its injuring the poor, which benefits the parsons. Our clerical legislators have been in every age the great authors of the legal spoliation of the poor to enrich the clergy, and the Ethiopian will not now cast his skin. Already the Bishop of LONDON has been neither good-tempered nor well-mannered in his attack on Lord STANLEY, of Alderley, on account of the Bill, and the most dis tant prospect of losing a fat bit for the Church would make him entirely lose his temper. How - - ever, we will, even now, print the substance of the placard which our Correspondent has sent us, though we look as little for justice from the Lords where the Church is, as where the Corn-laws - are concerned, . According to our Correspondent's statement, the surplus of the river Weaver navigation dues has been solemnly appropriated to the rate-payers of Cheshire for more than one hundred years by seve ral Acts of Parliament.. To take 20,000/. from these dues is to take it from the county-rate, which being paid out of the poor-rate, is in fact to take 20,0001. from .the poor-rates to build churches. But though the churches be built, and patronage and clergymen follow as a matter of course, there are likely to be no congregations. OVER, in, eluding WINSFORD, in -which. it is proposed to build a church, has.now church and chapel accom-; modation for 2,600 persons, and the population is only 2,270. If the crews of all the Fiats which navigate the Weaver were to attend church at one time, they could not fill the vacant seats. Including churches and chapels;' , ,vithin one mile and a quar ter of the navigation, the whole line of the river is equally well provided with spiritual acconmodation: The Fiat-men, instead of being poor, and asking for spiritual help, are a well-paid class of labourers, many of them own small freeholds, and most of them are subscribers to some place of worship, at which they attend as regularly as any other class. Yet, under the pretext of providing religious accommodation for these men, which .they have repudiated by their petitions—though the parsons - will hold that to be the strongest possible proof of their need, the pious promoters of the Weaver Churches Bill propose to take 20,0001. from the funds devoted to the real and starving poor. If those who actually want bread do not suffer from the deduction, it will be because the ratepayers - will be called on to pay that additional sum. In fact, whatever part of the sum cannot be squeezed out of the paupers, must be paid by the rate-payers, who are thus taxed by the pious builders of churches, in order that their itch for a spurious reputation for piety and godli ness may be gratified. If on such a question little is to be expected froni the House of Lords, the Commons seem to be almost as church mad and quite as unjust as their Lordships.. In spite of energetic remon strances the Commons passed the Weaver Churches Bill. The h, o ns we are believe, I e alarmed at b o th L or ds Commons at the tqatc the' working populat ion, and know ingthat they are the authors of the mischief, they expect, I:ke all superstitious and ignorant men, to ward off' the consequences of their sins by being additionally pious. Like Sir BA LAA NI, who, ac cording to POPE, after he :.ad kept the diamond, • went. twice to church where he before went only _ once, to compensate for his roguery, so our legis lators fancy they can hide their own injustice to the people by building more churches, and bribing the Great Disposer of events to ward off from them the evilxonsequenees o f th e i r own con d uc t. i They are to compensat e the people kr' a long series of neglect, and a Toni* series of injustice, by Lnove edriviu" them to clireh. Instead of free trade, they them cold formalpr e a l y e e rg rs yn ; le in n - . in stead of bread, a stone ; instead of independ ence , an additional control in h large army of It is. an old remark, that the very wicked are also very devout, in order to appease by their words the they know their conduct has deserved. Sir BALA A NI, however, according to the story, met his deQcrts--(oing twice to church did not save him! from the gallows ; neither will the present zeal of both Leids and Commons to build churches, and nutes a:ter Three.

In the Lords last night several Bi:Is ;vele forwarded n stage, and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE brought in a Bill to continue the Bill of Exchange Act. Lord WISAHNCLIITE Was anxious to oppose it, but reserved . Ics fire for the second reading. The Ordsr of the tidy for the third reading of the Irish Municipal Corporations all was postpined till Monday, after a few observations from the- Duke of WELLINGTON, who sems to find in the present cir cumstances of Ireland some additional reasons for with holding his assent to the Lill. From the observations, however, of Lord LYZiDIIURST and Vi count DUN CANNON, we should infer that the parties had agreed as to the Bill, and compromised all their differences. Tae County Constabulary Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committea. Their Lr)rdships immediately adjourned. In the Commons the Farnham Rectory all occa sioned a consider4b!e discussion. Our readers arc aware that the principle of this 8.11 is to make a new appropriation of the property belonging to the Rectory of Farnham, to the advantage, as is said and supposed, of the Church, :making a better distribution of ►ts pro perty for spiritual purposes. About that we • say eo thiog, because we consider all that a species of hum- Viva intended merely to make the public believe that the Church is a useful and a reforming corporation ; but the scheme involves the resumption of all the pro perty of the Rectory non, let on lease, as the leases come to an end. Against this the lessees, who have a permanent interestin Church property, the Church being accustomed to renew its leases on certain conditions, have protested and demanded compensation. In the Committee clauses were introduced to give them com pensation, but Sir R. INGLIS, on Friday, moved to omit those clauses, the debate was then adjourned; and alter some observations from Mr. EASTHOPE, on pre seaming a petition, and Mr. STEUART, was renewed fast night. It does not sesm to have been exactly a party dispute, for Lord STANLEY voted for the Compensa `77tion with Mr. EASTHOPE, and Sir S. LUSHINGTON voted against it with Sir R. INGLIS. On a division the Compensation claust;s were retained by Si to 79. The third reading of the Bill was fixed for Thursday. The Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill—a Bill to patch up the worn-out Church, and prevent it tumbling to pieces—was read a third time with several additional clauses, and after some had been rejected on division, was passed. The further corsideratien of the Report pn the Clergy Reserves Canada Bill occupied the House. chitily during the remainder of the evening. Mr. GOULBURN moved, as an amendment, to pay the produce of the reserves iaio the hands of an Wieer of the Crown, but his amendment was lost by 58 to 8 Befcra the discussion closed tl:c conduct of the Bishop of TonoNTo was spoken of with more boldness than will IE3 pleasing to that Right Rev.

Just as the landlords have supposellsl tattleir wa pirate bark, w th its eargo . 9f plunder,getting safe into harbour, they hear, and are filled with alarm, the wild it y of the plundered people.

Sir BALAAM did not commit any additional in justice by going twice to church ; but our Legisla ture cannot build more churches, and endow more clergy, without abstracting something more from the substance of the people, and without commit ting additional injustice. The Weaver Churches Bill, for example, takes away from the poor, or from the rate-payers, to soothe the consciences of Parliamentary sinners. We mentioned on Saturday, that a considerable quantity of slave-labour sugar was refined in bond here, and afterwards exported to different parts of the world, including our own colonies, where this slave-labour sugar is consumed at a less price than the sugar grown in the colony can be sold for. Every pound of the growth of our colonies con sumed in them deprives the colonists of a share of the tax levied on us. Like a halfpenny for which a boy is to have another if he do not spend it, every pound of sugar which our colonies can send hither is a means pf getting another pound, or the value of a pound, from the taxes, and they would lose that if they consumed it at home. They import slave-grown and refined sugar, there fore, for their own use, and send us, making us pay double price for it, all the sugar they grow them selves. Very soon, we apprehend, the colonists will find means—as the supply falls off, as the price rises, and as foreign sugar is taken out of bond here—to smuggle slave-grown sugar into the colo nies, and send it hither, receiving the 'additional price which our colonial sugar attracts from the taxes. We do not know, indeed, that this is not now practised. The Coast-guard and the Cus tom-house officers are not very rigid in Jamaica, Cuba is not far off, and a great temptation must exist to bny sugar at Cuba for 15s. or 18s., smuggle it into Jamaica, send it hither, and sell it 'or 58s. or 60s. _ _ By Returns just laid before. the House of Corn mons, on the motion of Mr. CRESWELL,we are en *dried to state what quantity of sugar is refined in bond and exported. The total is 193,354 cwts., and of this 63,070 cwts. arc exported to British posses sions, noless than 17,557 cwts. going to the British West Indies. Now, most of the sugar so refined in bond, and so exported to the-West Indies, to Jersey, to Canada, &c., is slave-grown sugar ; and why should not the people at home have the privilege of eating this cheap slave-grown sugar as well as the West Indian planters and the Ca nadians ? The policy of keeping out slave pro duce, advocated so strenuously by Mr. O'CoN NELL and Sir S. LUSHINGTON, greatly to the disadvantage of the people of England, leads these legislators to strange results. They give encou ragement to grow sugar by slaves to be consumed in our colonies, and keep every particle of it from our own starving people. Mr. O'CONNELL'S justice for Ireland does not extend to giving his countrymen sugar on equal terms with the inhabit ants of Canada and Jersey. The country is much indebted to Mr. THORNELY for having, in his speech on Mr. EwA RT'S motion, pointed out the fact which has led to these remarks, that slave-grown sugar is largely refined in bond, and exported to our own West Indian colonies. It is curious to trace the extraval.,,ancics into which this system of protecting and exorbitant duties lead 3 cur !egslato;s. The reader will pro bably recollect that an Act was passed a few years ago, for putting a stop to the growth of tobacco in Ireland, which caused several acres of that plant to be grubbed up. It is cultivated, we believe, in nearly all the countries in Europe, but it must not he cultivated here, lest the revenue raised on to bacco should be injured. The tax and the prohi bition give a bounty on the growth of tobacco in the United States, while at the same time we prohibit the importation of their corn. Consistently with this policy, Mr. "Livaou cll ERE has induced the House of Commons to las' as large a tax on all sugar made from potatoes or any other vegetable as is levied on beet-root sugar. Not many days have passed since Mr. HERCULES BRADSHAW demanded compensation for the ruin which levying a tax on beet-root sugar had cawed him, and now the manufacturers of pctatoe sugar wig be placed under a similar ban. Our Sugar Market Correspondent lately stated that every family might manufacture its own sugar ; but if it do it will be liable to the visits of the exciseman. While our people are .destitute of employment, while they want sugar very much, while the price is high, and while they might manufacture it in their pots or kettles from the growth of every field or garden, they are not allowed, and must not only be taxed for the behoof of the planters, but must submit to have their industry and their energies restrained, lest they evade the tax. We are inclined to think that if the system of protecting duties were followed out to all its consequences, and that system were logically acted on in every branch of industry, society would not only'come to a still stand—it would be starved out of existence, if, before submitting to so painful a process of annihilation, men did not lay violent hands on each other. The Morning Advertiser has backed out of the controversy which he fastened upon us, under the pretence that we do not treat km with sufficient respect. We are . not conscious of deserving the charge ; but when we consider the figure that our Contemporary has made since he began to tilt at us, we are not surprised at the act which it is brought forward to cover. If he has been discon certed and discomfited by the hard knocks he has received in 'an encounter provoked by himself, be must remember that he has deprived himself of all right to complain. We have treated him with the utmost fairness, whereas he has acted most unfairly toward us. We should have taken no notice of this farewell article, had it not been, if possible, more full of deliberate misrepresentation than any of those that went before it. Our Contemporary reminds us of the cuttle-fish, which, when pursued and unable-to effect its escape by its swimming powers, resorts to the stratagem of emptying its ink-bag, by which the water around it is so discoloured that it cannot be distinguished, and thus it evades its pursuer. Our Contemporary has already found that this sort of mystification will not do with us. As often as he attempts to evade the force of our arguments by quirks and shifts, by confounding together things which have no connection, and separating those which have, so often shall we expose his trickery, and bring him back to the question at issue. Our readers will bear us witness that our posi tion has all along been, that the men who got up and have kept up the Non-Intrusion humbug, were not sincere in the professions which they held out to the public. On Wednesday last we stated, that while they—the Non-Intrusion leaders—professed to extend the rights of the people, their real object was to extend the power of the Church 1 and we added that the "whole tenor of their conduct, from the moment when the Non-Intrusion deception was first launched upon the stage in 1834, in the shape of the Veto Act, to the publication of Dr. CHALM E RS'S lLst letter in the Witness, amply bears out this charge." In corroboration of the charge we adduced the strong fact that this Veto Act—that Act which embodied the Non-Intrusion " principle," and which is the root of all the evil which has befallen the Church of Scotland since, while it gave the " people"—so to speak—the right of vetoing the presentee of the lay patron a certain number of times in succession, and then transferred the right of presentation to the Presbytery, posi tively debarred the said " people" from offering a single objection to any person whom the Presbytery —then become the, pan on—might choose to thrust upon them. How did the Morning Advertiser reply to us Ithe next day ? How did he explain a tact so im portant to the elucidation of the intentions of the i Non-Intrusion leaders? He absolutely had the hardihood to tell his readers that we adduced " no circumstance or fact whatever in substantiation of the charge," and he repeats the assertion in three or four different forms I Was it any wonder that we applied the term " falsehood" to this statement ?

But Lord PALMER ' those alluded to were.

And it' is gratifying to know that in the additional signatures so procured, as it is in Persia and the A ffoli o anistan States his Lordship is proving how unscrupulously the getters up of the represented by diplomatists equally distinguishdil by petitions acted. If they could resort to such means patriotism, zeal, keen penetration, great moral to swell the number of signatures, what would they courage, and admirable readiness and presence of stick at ? But .our Contemporary seems to think • Dmd under circumstances the most unexpected and there was no harm in M °. akin children sign, and 1 0 the most difficult. draws from the circumstance an inference in favour of the " extreme popularity of the Non-Intrusion principle in Scotland I" We wish him joy of his discovery. Again, it is to be considered that the Non-In t trusionist petitioners were more active, and under better discipline, than their opponents, who, as we before stated, being satisfied with the law as it is, had not the same stimulus to uree them on to peti tion for a new law. Our Contemporary says that their petitions were not in all cases uninfluenced, but that undue means w • ere used to get sianatures, , t he fact. adds that we have taken fact. The reason that we did not notice it was because we had never seen it stated anywhere but in the Advertiser, and therefore we were dubious as to the accuracy of the fact. But, if it be true, it only strengthens our argument that petitions are not the best criterion of popularity in this case. We are still of opinion, in sp i te o f a ll t h e fli ppancy which our Contemporary has displayed on this sub ject, that a much better criterion is to be found in the newspaper press, which must be supposed to speak the sense of the country on a.question which he himself has hannwledged " convulses " it. He would make out, if he could, that the question is entirely a religious otte, and that therefore none but strictly religious publications ought to be consulted. He also' rnisrepresents us in making us say that it is a political, not a religious question, when he knows that we said no such thing. What we said was—that it had fully as much a civil, or politi cal, as a religious bearing. ,This we never heard any person deny for whose opinion we had the least respect ; and, we therefore, still maintain that the newspaper press is a fairer criterion than that pro posed by our Contemporary.': . The Non-Intiusion principle is now inseparably 'associated with a struggle between the temporal and the spiritual powers. It divides the supporters of the laws from those who set the laws at defiance, and who would erect a spiritual tyranny on their ruins. ' -' - We come now to our Contemporary's " parting word" as to the spirit in which we have carried on this controver s y ; and begto assure him that we h ave used no expression which we do not think fully justified by the occasion which called it forth, now; that we wish to retract. ' If we have not alwais treated him so courteously as :lie could have wished, lie must recollect that he was the unprovoked aa greseor. He twice went out of his way to attack us in a very abusive manner, before we replied. If, therefore, he has been a little roughly handled, he has himself a l one t o blame. - As to our joke about certain me asures , which he : s eems to have taken in • I it?

THE PRESTON AND WYRE RAILWAY.—This line was opened on Wednesday last with great rejoicings. The concourse of persons assembled to witness the start was very numerous, particularly about the neigh bourhood of Freston and Wyre station, and especially at the viaduct of Tulketh, where some thousands had assembled to witness the train pass over. The train arrived at the Kirkham station in twenty-five minutes from the time of leaving Preston, at which place there was a halt of four minutes' duration. Here the num ber of persons assembled was very great ; in short, the town of Kirkham and the surrrounding district must evidently have emptied themselves of their whole popu lation. The train then passed on to Poulton, and reached the station there in fifteen m'nutes and a few seconds. Here again the procession was received with deafening cheers from a vast multitude of wondering and admiring spectators, and after a pause of three minutes the signal for a start was given, and the train continued an unterrupted course to Fleetwood, its final destination, which place it reached exactly at ten mi nutes to one o'clock, just an hour from leaving Preston, but as there were seven minutes lost in the stoppages at Kirkham and Poulton stations, the whole period occupied in going the nearly twenty miles wasbut fifty-three minutes. The party afterwards sat down to an elegant dejeuner, laid oat in the beautiful hotel lately built at Fleetwood, and left soon after for Preston, where they arrived at half-past eight. Fleetwood-on-Wyre is situated at the Southern horn of the entrance to Morcambe-bay, and Rampside and Bardsea, near Ulverton, arc on the opposite side of the bay ; the port of Fleetwood is therefore the natural place to embark for the lakes. The steam-boats convey carriages and horses across. the bay daily, so that any one leaving London per mail train at night, may, by coming through Preston to Fleetwood-on-Wyre, and crossing Morcambe-bay per steam-boat from Fleetwood, be at Coniston Waters, the first of the lakes, under fourteen hours, from London. The capabilities of the Fleetwood harbour for a harbour of refuge, and as the best harbour for depth of water and facility and safety of entrance, have been borne witness to by Sir Edward Parry, Mr. Cubitt, engineer, Mr. Walker, ditto, Mr. Locke, ditto, as well as the Stephensons, who are now en gineers to the Company. ALTON TOWERS.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, with the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, Earl Den bigh. and suite, will arrive on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, on the 29th instant. The Princess Augusta, whose dangerous illness excites so much alarm, is the oldest member of the Royal Family now alive. She was born on the Bth of November, 1765, and consequently is in her 72d year. At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday, articles of the peace were exhibited on the part of Mr. Blewitt, secretary to the " Literary Fund," against a foreigner of the name of Ferstandig, charged with circulating abusive hand bills against the members, and otherwise annoying them, in order to compel them to grant him relief. He was ordered to enter into his own recognisance for 401., and find two sureties in 201. each, to keep the peace for six weeks, and in default, to be Mi -1 prisoned for that term. The sureties not being forthcoming, ho was removed in custody of the gaoler. FACTORY LAW.—Mi. Ashworth, a mill pro prietor, in his evidence before the Committee, estimates the total expense entailed on the country by the Factory Act at 100,0001. per annum. About one-fourth of this is for educa tion. The salaries of the inspectors, amounting to 9,000/., is the only part of it paid by Government. The number of per sons employed in the mills subject to inspection is 394,400. Our readers, particularly our sporting friends, may not be aware, and will perhaps be surprised to find, that by the addition lately made to the assesssed taxes of the kingdom the duty on game certificates is increased. In future it will be charged as follows :—Duty, 31. 13s. 6d. ; 10 per cent. increase 7s. 4d. ; collector's fee, Is. ; total, 41. Is. 101—B risto Mirror. _ Madrid Journals of the 12th inst. have arrived. Their contents are utterly unimportant. Rumours of a change of Ministry were in circulation, and a number of lists were handed about, no two of withal agree in the names of the candidates for office. ESPARTERO figures at the head of one list, AGNELLES at another, and so on, with hardly a limitation of conjecture. The capital was, however, tranquil, and everything indicated a return to a pacific and improving system. The Prince de Canino (Lucien Bonaparte) is said to have died of the same complaint as his brother the Em peror Napoleon—cancer in the stomach. The project of making gardens and planting shrubs in the Green-park is said to have been abandoned. •• EXTRAORDINARY TROUT. —O❑ Thursday morning a trout of 'the extraordinary weight of 2411b5. was caught in Sandstell fishery, at the mouth of the Tweed, belong ing to John Wilson, Esq., of Tweed House. Its length from the snout to the tip of the tail, was 3 feet 1 inch, and it mea.- i cured in girth 1 foot 10i inches. It was in every respect a beautiful fish, marked by all the peculiarities of the pure and undoubted trout kind, and is the largest remembered by any in this place to have been caught in the Tweed.—Berwick Warder. The Monitcur of Sunday, which we have received, together with the other Paris Journals of the same date, contains a long article on the number and treat ment of the Spanish refugees who have sought an asy lum in France. On the 18th of July the number of Carlist refugees in France was 27,700. The French Government has treated them with great humanity. The naked have been clothed at the expense of the na tion, and all their pressing wants have been relieved without the necessity of an appeal to individual charity: As it is impossible to continue the support of such a host of idle foreigners, the Government has proposed to form them into a legion to serve in Africa on the same footing as the French troops in that country. Every Carlist Officer, who enjoyed the rank of C.tp tain under the Pretender, is to retain it, provided he come forward with 120 men. The period of service in Africa i 3 limited to three years. The conquest of Africa continues the great hobby of the French nation. However inexpedient M. THIERS_ may judge the continuance of a contest in which hard blows are the only return for an outlay of public money, so immense as to operate as a constant drain upon the French Treasury, he dare no more think of proposing a peace with Apo-EL-KADER, than of offering the French Crown to the young Duke of BORDEAUX. The Go vernment has no choice. It must continue the war, be the result what it may. Of the way in which it is pro posed to continuo it, we find the following account in the Commerce of Sunday : It seems at length to be comprehended that there must be neither peace nor truce with Abd-el-Kader. Prepara tions are already making for an autumnal campaign. The battalion of tirailleurs of Vincennes is going to be orga nised ; the two companies which remained in Franco are to be sent to join it, and it is to be reinforced with 200 men, taken from the several regiments of Light Infantry. The regiment of the Zausves is also to receive 400 men of the 2J, 3d and 17th Regiments of Light Infantry. 600 volunteers, taken from the regiments in France, will be distributed among the several corps of the army of occupation, and two new regiments will be sent to Africa. In all the military establishments the workmen are busy in preparing provisions, ammunition, clothing, &c f or Algeria. Four corvetes of burden are to be employed in the conveyance of all these effects. It is a pity that the hot season does not allow us to undertake a new campaign, now that the Arabs are demo ralized and the Emir's regular troops disorganized. Abd el-Katier, with whose activity we arc well acquainted, will undoubtedly profit by three months' suspension of arms to prepare for the new campaign, to reorganize his regular troops, to collect supplies, and to excite the zeal and fana ticism of his partizans. We, however, hope that General L'Amoriciere will interrupt his preparations in the province of Oran, and that he will brave the heat, in order to bring al.tout the submission cf the tribes next to Oran, or to de cloy them.

WA L SA L L.—A report has obtained very general currency, that Mr. Godson, the Member for Kidderminster, appeared as a counsel for a body of Tory prosecutors, in a la'e politico-criminal trial at Walsall, on the express stipulation that, in the event of his winning the case, he should be supported by the faction as a candidate for the representation of that borough. Now, we know nothing of the truth of this statement, further than that it is current in this district, and very generally credited. Whether it is true or false makes very little difference to us, for we have too much reliance on the good sense of the men of Walsall to suppose that Mr. Godson or any other Tory would ever be elected for that borough. We allude to it, however, for the sake of a very numerous and a highly honourable class, before whom it seems to us that Mr. Godson ought to clear his character from the imputation thus cast upon it. Mr. Godson is a member of the English bar, and that bar ought not to number one among its members of whom it is even said that he has acted with political designs in a criminal prosecution. Mr. Godson owes it to himself and the bar of England to declare publicly that he entered upon the case we refer to with no political design, but in the usual course o f hi s profession.—Stafford Examiner. VISIT OF PRINCE GEORGE OF CAMBRIDGE TO LIVERPOOL.—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridge left London on Tuesday night and arrived in this town on Wednesday morning, when he took up his lodgings at the Queen's Arms, where several officers of his regiment, the 12th Lancers, where previously staying. On the same day, his Royal Highness accompanied Thomas Clifton, Esq. of Lytham-hall, to the race-course, wherehis apparance amongFt the nobility on the Steward's stand excited no little interest amocgst such of the crowd on the course as happened to be aware of his presence. In the evening his Royal Highness, with several of the -officers of his regiment, were entertained at dinner by Mr. Clifton, at the Adelphi Hotel. On Friday morning his Royal Highness with the Colonel and several officers of the regiment, visited the Oriental steamer, now fitting out in the Trafalgar Dock, for Alexandria. Mr.. Shaw accompanied them throughout the entire vessel, and when the Prince left her he expressed himself as much .asto nished as delighted with her accommodations and general ar rangements. He was loudly cheered as he passed along the gangway to the shore, by the numerous individuals who thronged the deck of the vessel and the pier. Soon afterwards his Royal Highness took his departure for Dublin, in the Earl of Roden steamer. The captain of the latter, we are in formed, apologized to the Prince, that he was not able bet.er to accommodate him. The reply of his Royal Highness was, that the accommodation which suited other people would suit him.—Liverpool Albion. ARRIVAL OF PRINCE GEORGE OF CAM BRIDGE.—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge arrived at the North Wall this morning, in the Lord Roden steamer, with his detachment of the 12th Lancers. After the disembarkation of the horses, his Royal Highness, accompanied by our gallant countrymen, Colonel Stawell, the commanding officer of the - regiment, proceeded to the Royal Barracks, where they arrived about one o'clock. The men in the employment of the City of Dublin Steam Company manned the paddle boxes of two or three of their vessels, and loudly cheered as his Royal Highness rode past; and as the band passed the end of Sackville-street, they struck up " Rory O'More." In the course of the day Prince George rode along the Quays. Duld;n - ErSniny Post. Distress prevails to a melancholy extent through - out the Queen's County. Many of the poor people are ac tually endeavouring to subsist on weeds.—Leinster Express. REPRESENTATION OF WARWICKSIIIRE.—A report is abroad that Sir E. Wilrnot has let Berkeswell Hall to Lord Cinterbury, and that, in the event of a dissolution, he be will not offer himself for the northern division. We ear nestly 'ent reat those Warwickshire Liberals, with whom we have any influence, to take advantage of this opportunity in favour of that excellent reformer, Mr. Bracebridge. A little atten tion to the registration may secure the vacant seat for the Reformers.— Stafford Examiner. HAIL STORM.—OR the afternoon of Friday last an unusually heavy fall of hail took place near Crailing. In a field immediately to the westward of the farm offices at Crailing Tefts the hail-stones accumulated to a great depth, and after they began to melt, the water rushed down the decli vity with the violence of. a torrent, carrying along with it a considerable quantity of the . soil across the turnpike-road into a field of barley ma the opposite side, whereby' a considerable por tion of the grain was pressed down and covered with clay to a considerable depth. For some time great difficulty was expe rienced by foot.passengers passng the place from the accumula tion of ha&stones, which covered the road at one part to the depth of at least 18 inches.—Kelso Chronicle. Three reverend gentlemen, Messrs. D. James, J. Hughes, and J. Richards, have been appointed a deputation to wait upon Lord Melbourne, and urge on him the propriety of takin , the opportunity afforded by the death of the late Bishop of St. David's, to appoint a good Welch scholar to the vacant see. The revueend gentlemen have also been placed in authorized communication on the same subject with Lord Ro• bert Grosvenor and the Hon. Mr. Mostyn. The matter has excited much interest throughout the Principality, and other meetings to urge it f orwar d with success are contemplated. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. --A most pain- CLOSING PRICES.
