The anti-corn-law advocates asserted that the great num ber of the manufacturers in the country were insolvent, and that the corn-laws were the cause of that insolvency. He (Mr. F.) had inquired into that assertion, and he was sorry to say it was true as far as the insolvency went. The reason was this—they never were solvent in their lives. (Laughter.) He would endeavour to describe to the house the manufac turers in the North of England at the present day. They were but a remnant of the high-minded and honourable class of men who had raised the trade and commerce of the coun try to the highest pitch of respectability—they were the remnant of those men who walked about the streets with ho nesty depicted in their countenances. But there were few of these men left now. There were a few, he admitted, who tried to tread in their steps, but the remainder were men who knew no bounds to their insatiable thirst after wealth, and were gamblers in trade. They were a set of men who bad been set up in trade by the joint-stock banks, and many of these banks were little better than stores for the protection of swindling. They got their names entered on the joint stock bank books, they then went to a woolstapler, and offered to buy a quantity of wool of him—they referred him to the joint-stock bank. The answer was, " Oh, they are highly respectable—they have their names on our books." They purchased the wool at three months' credit, they turned it by their power mills into goods, and by the following week they had it in the market and sold it for ready money. The consequence was, they had to sacrifice a large amount to the merchant who bought, as well as to the manufacturer. They did not pay for it at the end of three months—they had two months further credit, and they had to pay five months' interest to the woolstapler. The consequence was, that these men could go on very prosperously as long as there was a call for the goods in the market ; but when there came the slightest stagnation in trade, they immediately broke : and what a scene there was in the Court of Bank ruptcy. Honest manufacturers and tradespeople, who for years had been amassing their small amount of capital, found themselves ruined by the artful villany and swindling of these men. Nay, it was no unusual thing to find them spend the money which some confiding labourer had left in their hands for the benefit of his family. This was no unusual thing, it was constantly the case, and constantly brought to light in the manufacturing districts. These men had scarcely crossed the threshold of the Bankruptcy Court be fore they started again in trade. They had previously been working the capital of their labourers. They had now some friend to appear as petitioning creditor. One of these men came as the largest creditor, took the 2s. 6d. in the pound and turned the money over. Now came out what the de signs of the Anti-Corn League were three years ago ; they at tempted at first only to try for an alteration in the corn laws. They soon found they had very few supporters in the country. They then held out in favour of the enemies of the church, that if they would join them, as soon as they had carried the repeal of the corn laws, then the established church should be attacked, and after this offer had been made to the country the hon. and learned member for Cork was invited over to t a k e hi s seat at their dinne r . H e th en declared in the presence of these manufacturers that they were possessed of sufficient wealth in Manchester to buy up all the landed estates of the nobility of England. He then asserted that " the landlords' venison was mixed with the widow's tear, and that their claret was died with the orphan's blood"—a rather cool assertion for the hon. member for Cork, when it was remembered that he had existed for many years out of the pence extracted from the poor. But he would ask what had the farmers of England to expect from these cotton lords who were able to purchase up the landed interest ? It was their principle, when they purchased an estate, immediately to have it revalued. They carried the principle of the ledger into their rent-roll—the rents were doubled ; and he had known many families in his part of the country ruined by the oppression of these men. He remem bered an instance which took place many years ago, where a poor farmer had his rent doubled. He struggled on for a few years to try to meet it, when he could not bear to leave the spot. He had even to, pay a few hundreds which he teed saved as increased rental to his landlord, and when the time came that his cattle were seized for rent, he died of a broken heart. His wife was not long before she followed him.— Their eldest son, just bursting into manhood, endeavoured still to keep the family together; but the last which he (Mr. F.) had heard of him was, that reason had lost her empire over his brain, and that be had become the inhabitant of an asylum. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—We regret to state that on the evening of Saturday last, an accident by which four persons (two of them belonging to Glasgow) lost their lives, occurred betwixt Greenock and Helensburgb. The following are the particulars i- r Tbe new brig Caroni was lying off the Tail of the Bank, on the eve - of sailing, on her first trip to Trinidad. In the course of the afternoon, Mr. John Wilson of this city the owner, accompanied by M r. Wigton, of Messrs. Wigton, Gray, & Co., and several other gentlemen, proceeded in a small boat aboard the vessel. At seven o'clock they all left, in two boats, to catch the half-past seven train to Glasgow. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Wigton, and Captain Gray, with the ne cessary number of seamen, left in one boat, and the other party of gentlemen in another. The night was very dark and tempestuous, the wind being strong ahead ; and the second boat, which contained Dr. Anderson of Carfin, Capt. Coots, Mr. Gibson, and Mr. Win. Cameron, was compelled by the storm to put in for Helensburg. In this they were foiled, and were at last driven on kpoint near Ardmore, called Clud dach, where. by springing knee-deep into the water, they all got safe ashore. The other boat, however, containing Mr. Wilson and his friends, had a very different fate; it sunk, and Mr Wilson, Mr. Wigton, and two of the seamen, perished. One 9f the seamen belonged to Greenock, and the other was a hand on board the Caroni, but their names we have not. heard. Captain Gray was saved as if by a miracle. The bodies were, after a search, found ; and on Sabbath the re mains of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Wigton were brought to town and delivered to their friends. The sad event has caused a great sensation in Glasgow.—Scottish Guardian. FREE TRADE CONSTELLATIONS.—He had heard to-night a great deal said about the principles of free trade, and that they were to save the country. It happened that, during the recess, the two noble lords—the member for the city of Lon don, and the member for Tiverton—were like the poor in the parish of Bingley, wandering through the country in search of employment. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He had heard of some humane and kind persons at Birmingham who drew them up an address of condolence. He had not the copy of the one presented to the member for the city of London, or his reply. lie well remembered lie had asserted that the prin ciples of tree trade were sound, and that the right hon. baronet had a very easy task. He supposed the noble lord had been trying to prove it within these last few days. But he had the address of the member for Tiverton. It said, ~ We confidently hope that the period will speedily arrive •when it will please her Majesty to res t ore your colleagues to power, "—(a laugh,)—who attempt e d t o app l y to commerce those principles of free trade which mankind have acknow ledged as " the only sure foundation for permanent pro sperity."

Ferranti Speech. moon, in this expansive well - defined social system. (Great ALARMING ACCIDENT, On Friday last, during the sitting of the Rev. Thos. Airey and the Rev. John Sedgwick, magistrates for Sedberg, in the West Riding of the county of York, and on hearing a case of assault closely bordering on rape, committed on a young fe male of the name of Blades, by five young men, the middle portion of the floor of the office gave way, precipitating 150 individuals to a depth of 20 feet. It appears that this brutal case of assault had created the most lively disgust and indig nation in the neighbourhood. and had broughtlogether a large concourse of hearers to listen to the results of the investiga tion. The office during the time was crowded to excess. The office has recently been erected, and WPS of large di- the magitrates, a of ivardi'ans, and other pu.hl purposes, and was considered in every respect substantial and eligible. The crowd, as the her. Thomas Airey was about to pronounce judgment on the delinquents, pushed forward to the centre of the office, when the middle beam of the building gave way with a heavy crash. As might naturally be expected, the greatest terror and alarm prevailed for the self-preservation of those within the falling pile, who, as it was then supposed, were about to be hurried to immediate destruction by falling into the opening chasm below. The shrieks of the vast multitude at this moment were heart rending and appalling in the extreme, every one expecting to be launched into eternity. As soon as the accident became spread the inhabitants of the town were aroused, and the most praiseworthy assistance rendered to rescue the unfortunate individuals from an untimely grave. In the end, however, it was found that human life had not fallen a sacrifice to the sad and melancholy catastrophe, although several were so se verely injured as to leave litle hope of their recovery. Amongst those was a man of the name of Christopher Gosling, whose right thigh was broken in three places, whilst his other leg was dreadfully fractured, and he was taken from the ruins in a state of insensibility. One of the parties also, who was charged vith the assault on the female Blades, had several deadly cuts on his head, and his recovery is at present des paired of ; twenty others were so dreadfully hurt as to cause apprehensions of their ultimate restoration to health and strength. As is generally the case when accidents of this nature occur, there are some who, although placed in the most dangerous predicaments, providentially escape without suffering those casualties which seem to be entailed upon others. A more striking instance of this sort never occurred than in the case of Mr. Smith, of Sedberg, who was sitting close by the magistrates at the time when the melancholy occurrence took place. Two of the feet of the chair upon which he was sitting were on the part of the building which fell, and the opposite feet on the other part. Mr. Smith felt a giving inclination, and had the presence of mind to lean in a contrary direction, and thus saved himself from the im pending confusion, whilst Mr. Sutton, who sat next to him, was carried away in the common crash. Mr. Kettlewell, innkeeper, of Seldberg, on falling, seized the magistrates' bench with both hands, from which be continued suspended till he was released, after a lapse of three quarters of an hour, and probably through the dread of being buries: in the ruins, held on with an iron grasp that was with the greatest diffi culty loosened by his extricators. That part of the office upon which the magistrates were sitting was supported by other beams, and did not fall, consequently they and those around them did not sustain any injury although dreadfully alarmed. Several other persons escape : l, who were left sit ting upon the window seats. The loss will be very heavy on Mr. Taylor, of the Black Bull inn, Sedberg, who, besides being proprietor of the building, had two carriages, with other minor vehicles, de stroyed. HOW TO GET UP AN ANTI-CORN•LAW PETITION (From Mr. Ferrand's Speech in the House of Commons on Monday.) In his (Mr. Ferrand's) own neighbourhood he had made some inquiries into the state of trade, and he would call the attention of the house to a placard dated the Bth of May, 1841. In the commencement of that month (when her Ma- jesty's late government were tottering to their fall) a circular was issued throughout the country calling on their friends to agitate for a fixed duty on corn. One of these circulars found its way to Bingley, and a meeting of the land and mill-owners, and other persons interested in trade, was held in that town, William Ellis, Esq., in the chair. It was then stated that the stocking and woollen trade carried on in the parish had been in a most depressed state for the last three or four years; that such depression had reduced to poverty and dis tress great numbers of the working classes, who were wander ing through the day in search of work in a state of miserable despondency ; that this was to be attributed to the corn-laws. The petition, which was of considerable length, contained a vast quantity of the phrases of the Anti-Corn-Law League. (Laughter.) There were thirteen signatures attached to this petition, one copy of which was transmitted to the House of Commons, another to the House of Lords, and a third to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, to be used by him in a certain quarter in order to obtain a dissolution of parliament. (Laughter.) The chairman of that meeting had realised a large sum of money, and purchased a mill, as well as considerable landed property ; and during the last three or four years, when the cotton and worsted trade were said to be in such a depressed state, he had erected one of the largest mills in the country and taken another. The second signature was that of a gentleman, a member of a firm which during the last 25 or 30 years had been running four very lsrge cotton-mills ; they had bought estates worth £lB,OOO a year. They were possessed of an income of X 25,000 a year. and were still proceeding in the purchase of property, and the accumulation of wealth. The next signature was that of a person who was a linendraper 30 years ago, but who, during the last three or four years, had purchased one mill and ta ken two more, which were fitted up with power-looms. This 1 1 person was now carrying on what in Yorkshire was called " a rattling trade." (Loud laughter.) The fourth on the list was an operative paper-maker 12 years ago, but he had, du ring the last three or four years, purchased one of the largest mills in the county, some landed estates, kept his carriage and pair, and livecfin " rattling " style. (Continued laugh ter.) The fifth signature was that of a manufacturer, who during 20 years had made £40,000 or £50,000 in the worsted trade, and during the time that trade was so deeply depressed he erected one of the largest cotton mills, and fitted it with power-looms. The sixth was a grocer in the town, who had accumulated a very nice income, and educated his family in first-rate style. This gentleman happened to be a dissenter, and to prove his hatred of the church he had brought up one of his sons to enter it and receive a little of its wool. (Laugh ter.) The next individual on the list three or four years ago purchased a very large mill in the parish, and a conside rable quantity of land surrounding it. The mill was fitted up with power looms, and he also was carrying on a " rattling ' trade. (Laugher.) Then came the signature of a manufac turer who had fitted up his mill with power-looms, and that of a person who had made a large fortune in trade and then retired from it. The remaining signatures were those of per sons in some degree connected with those parties whom he had already mentioned. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He wished this was the only matter connected with the letter to which he had referred. But he would now mention a fact which would prevent hon. members from crying " hear, hear," so readily. The chairman of that meeting, the man who placarded the parish of Bingley with these resolutions, pointing out the landed proprietors as the persons who had brought misery and distress on the workpeople ; this man, at the time he occupied the chair, was on the point of taking a mill. (Loud laughter.) Soon afterwards that mill was fitted up with power-looms. But did that gentleman go into the market-place and say to the people, " Why stand ye idle all the day long ? Why eat ye the bread of idleness ? Why do you not come into my mill and work ?" lie did not do that, but he went into the county of Lancaster, where that infamous conspiracy existed between the poor law com missioners and the cotton spinners for the purpose of equa lising wages, and reducing the 10 per cent. that had been advanced upon the wages of the poor weavers. He went there and picked up a large number of poor families, who had been reduced to such a state of misery and distress by their former employers that they were glad to eat their food from off their dunghills—he brought these poor people down to the town of Bingley there to amass another fortune from their sinews in another mill. (Hear, hear.) He forgot the claims of the working classes of Bingley—he forgot those men whom he had excited to a pitch of desperation—he for got that he along with other manufacturers had reared and bred them in the parish—he cast them off, and they were now in a state of the utmost wretchedness—he had left them to " wander through the day in search of work in a state of miserable despondency." THE COLONIAL BISHOPRICS From an ecclesiastical paper the following particulars are collected relative to the proposed new dioceses :- 1. The first diocese to be formed is for the Mediterranean. Besides the British possessions and dependencies in the Me diterranean, there arc, at nearly every large city on the immense line of coast from Lisbon to Constantinople, either congregations or a sufficient number of persons to form con gregations of English churchmen. In many of these cities English churches have been erected, and chaplains appointed; yet they are altogether without the benefit of episcopal su• perintendence. To remedy this defect, the declaration pro poses that a new see should he established, the bishop of which should reside chiefly at Valetta, in Malta, as the most convenient position for exercising superintendence over the English congregations in the countries of the Mediterranean. But it is supposed that the bishop should bear the title of Bishop of Gibraltar, that city being a possession of the Bri tish crown, where the established religion is that of the Church of England. The circumstance of havitig two cathe dral churches would be an advantage, rather than otherwise, in such a scattered and unconnected diocese. 2. The next diocese to be formed is that of New Bruns wick. This province at present forms part of the diocese of Nova Scotia ; but when it is considered that it 3s nearly as large in extent as Ireland, and that it contains a population of 156,000, though, unfortunately, with hardly more than 30 clergymen, it will be obvious that this colony is entitled to the advantage of a resident bishop. 3. The Cape of Good Hope contains an area of 130,000 square miles, that is, more than the whole of England, Ire land, and Scotland put together. The population is not yet a large one, amounting to no more than 156,000 ; but they are widely scattered. The present number of the clergy is ten. No bishop of our church has visited this colony for the last five years, and, consequently, the rights of confirma tion and consecration have been altogether omitted during that period. There is a remarkable activity among the vari ous Dissenting bodies, as well as among the Romanists, at the Cape, and the affairs of our church greatly require the care and attention of a bishop. 4. Van Dieman's Land at present forms part of the un wieldy diocese of Australia. It contains a territory about as large as ten of our English dioceses, with a population of 50,000. The number of the clergy is 21. It is understood that the present governor has strongly urged the importance of founding a bishopric there. 5. The only other place named in the first list is Ceylon. It is in extent very nearly the same as Van Dieman's Land, both islands being about 24,000 square miles. Its population, however, is much greater—viz., one million and a quarter, the greater part of them heathens. The number of chaplains and missionaries together is 22. Ceylon is at present in the diocese of Madras, but it is evident that no very efficient con trol can be established under such an arrangement, and it is hoped that so important a dependency of the crown will, ere long, be formed into a separate see. there is reason to believe that it is the intention of the Bishop of London to recommend the clergy of his diocese to devote a portion of the collections made at the offertory on Good Friday, in all churches where the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is administered, in aid of the Colonial Bishoprics Fund. His lordship's example will, doubtless, be followed by the other diocesans. STEAM ENGINES IN BELGIUM.-It is estimated that there are now at work in Belgium 1,300 steam engines, with a total power of 33,100 horses. DESTRUCTION OF OKEIIAMPTON CHURCH BY FIRE.— We are sorry to have to announce the all but total destruc tion of this ancient and venerable fabric, on Sunday, the 13th instant. The church is situate on a hill, little more than half a mile from the town ; and in less than a quarter of an hour after the congregation had left the church in the forenoon, it w as discoverecrto be in a blaze, near the organ loft. The roof soon tell in with a tremendous crash. No thing but the bare walls and the tower remain. The fire is attributed to a stove which has lately been erected in the church, the flue of which passed under and near the organ gallery. We regret to state that every monument is de stroyed ; and although great fears were at one tim e enter tained that th e bells would be displaced, and perhaps broken by the fall a mong the ruins, b ytlte exertions of the people and the application of the engines, the tower was preserved from the general wreck.—Devonshire Chronicle. STRANGE DOINGS IN ICILWORTH, COUNTY OF CORK (From the London Times of IfTedneNday. On 'Tuesday, the 25th of January last, a man named Moroney, who was born a Protestant, but who, ft otn neglect and inattention on the part of those who undertake, and are paid for, the cure of souls, had for some years gone to mass, expressed great desire that his infant child might receive Protestant baptism. The case was pressing, for the infant was very ill, and great doubts existed that it could survive the night. A message was sent in all haste to the curate, but he was at that moment not at home. A note was then forwarded to the rector, who returned a verbal answer that he would attend. Sure enough, in the evening he arrived at the poor man's humble cabin, but rather after time, as the worthy parson first deemed it his duty to call on the Rev. Mr. Daly, the priest, to obtain his consent. Arm-in-arm both the reverends entered the hut together (an example of true Christian unity and concord); hut what pen can describe their surprise and mortification at learning that their visit was too late—that the Protestant curate had arrived, had already done the needful, and was returned home ! An indescribable scene followed. Rector and priest stared with amazement. What was to be now done? At length silence was broken by the minister inquiring why he had been sent for in place of the priest. Moroney's reply was, that he wished to have nothing ,to do with the latter. " Sure, " added he, " has not has reverence christened my child already.? " " What? " rejoined the astonished -rector, " has he christened your child before, and do you send for me now to christen it a second time ?" " Faix, and he has, and me also, and all my family too," was the reply. " Sure he christened us all at the last station by giving us bad names." Surprise at this moment vanished from the features of the rector, and, turning to the priest, he inquired could the charge just made be true ? " Indeed, I called them only by a few names," was the answer returned. "Oh fie, sir," exclaimed the minister, " I little thought you would act so indiscreetly." But the priest had made his confession to the parson, and he had nothing to say in his defence. In deep dudgeon, sulky, discontented, and morti fied, both quitted the cabin, ruminating on the past, and re solving for the future. We have just heard that the rector has ordered it to be made public in his parishes, that hence forth any written message from those of his parishioners who do not regularly attend his church, requesting him to bap tise their child, shall forthwith' be forwarded to the priest, who, in his opinion, ought to take the trouble upon his own shoulders. The following edict has also since issued from the rectory—" The Rev. Mr. Grant (the curate) is in attend ance at the vestry-room of Kilworth Church every Thursday and Saturday, at one o'clock, to give religious instruction to such as require it, and to .receive requisitions for the dis charge of occasional services." It is also currently whispered in the neighbourhood that the great storm that raged with such violence on the follow ing night was produced by the curses of the priest when re , turning home. Strange Is-It that his own habitation is a sufferer as well as those of . his neighbours ! But many of his votaries religiously believe the story, and think he can do mightier things than raising a storm." WILL OF THE LATE MR. ANDREW DUCROW The will of this extraordinary man was prepared by Messrs. Mayhew and Johnson, of Carew-street. The testator ap pointed Mr. Oscar Byrne, Mr. Serle, (boat-builder,) and Mr. Anderton, (councilman,) his executors, bequeathing to each £lOO. Amongst the legacies are—to Mr. D. W. Broadfoot, his brother-in-law, £3OOO ; to Mr. Joseph Hil lier, £3OO ; to Margaret and Louisa, his sisters, £2OO each ; to Master Chafe, (commonly called Le Petit Ducrow,) £2OO ; there are a few other and smaller bequests. The residue of his property, consisting of £47,560, three-and-a-half per cents., his household furniture, pictures, aiticles of vertu, and his stud and paraphernalia, to Mrs. Ducrow for life ; after her death, to his son and daughter Peter Andrew and Louisa. The will makes no provision for the possibility of posthumous issue ; but as all is left in the power of Mrs. Ducrow, the omission is immaterial. The sum of £81)(9 is left for the decoration of the family tomb at Kensall Green ; £2OO in the three-and-a-half per tents. is to remain; the in terest being dedicated to the purpose of purchasing flowers to adorn his monument. It is a singular fact that Mr. Du crow has not mentioned his mother, to whom he was devo tedly attached, in his will. He has, in fact, relied upon the affection of his widow. The elder Mrs. Ducrow received a handsome annuity from her son, and that will be continued. The Stud is now at the Amphitheatre, Liverpool; it is un derstood that Messrs. Grisell and Peto rebuild the theatre in Westminster-road, and that Mr. Batty becomes the lessee ; but the rumour that the stud of the deceased equestrian will be sold is wholly unfounded. On the contrary, it may be confidently relied upon that the horses and company, under the direction of Messrs. Hillier and Broadfoot, will appear in the rnetropcdis on Easter Monday. Every groom has been given a suit of mourning ; and Mrs. Ducrow has pre sented each executor with a splendid diamond ring. There is a melancholy anecdote connected with the parting between Mr. Ducrow and Le Petit Andrew ; the boy bade him good bye last October, ere he started to join the company at Li verpool. Mr. Ducrow gave the child a crown, kissed him, and said, " Attend to your duty, be a good boy ; you'll never see your papa again ;" the prophecy was verified, the. adopted son was summoned to town to attend the funeral. The number of individuals employed in the Amphitheatre, including actors, musicians, scene-painters, equestrians, grooms, helpers, &c., exceeded £l5O ; the weekly expenses were seldom less than X5OO. How enormous, then, must have been the receipts that, in a few years, enabled the de ceased to accumulate a property to the value of nearly £60,000. The situation of Mrs. Ducrow renders it probable that her accouchement will take place in June. It is under stood to be her intention not to resume her professional ex ertions. The Amphitheatre has, therefore, lost at one blow its two brightest ornaments. A few days before his death, Mr. Ducrow's health appeared re-established ; he determined to visit Liverpool to play for the performers' benefit, and an nounced his intention of representing The Dumb Man of Manchester." He was persuaded to abandon this idea and appear in the grand Russian entree. The 7th instant was fized for ids debut ; his dresses were packed, and everything prepared for the journey, but a few hours before the fatal blow came. On the day which he had selected, he was a corpse and a tenant of the tomb. THE DISTRESS-MANUFACTURERS. (From Mr. Ferrand's (M.P.) speech.) During the recess of Parliament he thought it his duty to mark the progress of the a nti-corn-law league, who were agitating the country with the most violent and infamous placards, headed with the words " the base, bloody, and brutal landlords, that were keeping the bread of life from the poor," while they were sending forth agitators who were uttering falsehoods still more infamous than what were on those placards, and to pay the expense of which they were during the past week exp3sing their , wives and daughters at Manchester. (Cries of " Oh , oh,' and laughter.) Whilst they were agitating the country, he (Mr. Ferrand), made an inquiry into the truth connected with their movements. They found that since the establishment of the corn laws, within the last twenty years, the Messrs. Marshall, great manufacturers of Leeds. had accumulated a fortune of £2,000,000, and had purchased immense landed estates. (Hear, hear.) This firm appeared not to be satisfied with the carrying out of the principle of free trade in this coun try, but they were erecting large mills in Belgium. On the 29th of January, 1842, there appeared an advertisement in the Leeds Advertiser which stated that there was a person of great commercial experience in Brussels who was de sirous of meeting a partner. The advertiser had a splendid estate of 100 acres of land, which was situated upon the banks of the Dedel, and in one of the most picturesque parts of the country, situated within about three miles from the railway at Louvaine, that he would like a partner to join him in the workitig of a flax and tow mill. There was also a corn mill upon the estate. Aye (said Mr. Ferrand) there was a secret about this corn mill. The advertisement went on to say, that there were nume rous populous villages in the neighbourhood—that wages were considerably lower than in any other part of the coun try—that an exact estimate had been made of the number of operatives necessary to be employed in a flax-mill of 10,000 or 14,000 spindles, at a saving of £2,000 annually. (Hear, hear.) There was the great secret, the saving in the amount of wages. He would now mention a few instances, to show the injurious effect of the corn laws on the manufacturers. The honourable member for Manchester (Mr. M. Philips) stood as high as ever in credit on the Exchange at Manchester. He was a man possessed of immense wealth. (" Hear," and a laugh). Then there was the honorable member for Sal ford (Mr. Brotherton), who had long since retired from trade, having amassed an enormous fortune ; but so horror struck was he with the cruelty and oppression of the factory .system, that he had determined to spend the remainder of his life in trying to remove it. (Laughter). The honourable member for Stockport (Mr. Cobden) had spent his life in accumulating money, and when night after night he was as serting that the corn laws had ruined the manufacturers in Lancashire, he was running his mill night and day. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member for Bolton (Dr. Bowring) was remarkably urgent for a repeal of the corn laws. He carried out free trade principles to such an extent against the public purse, that he had a right to be considered a freebooter. (Loud laughter, and cries of `• order ").. He begged pardon if he had said a word too much, but he was quite certain that the working classes were much surprised that he should have accepted £l,OOO of the public money. (Laughter). THE ANTI-CORN.-LAW BAZAAR.—The bazaar closed on Thursday evening, and a sale by auction of the remaining articles took place on Friday. We understand that the " league" expect to realize something like £lO,OOO by the bazaar, after payment of expenses—a result which will no doubt gladden the hearts of the Smiths, Aclands, Finigans, and the rest of the agitators in the pay of that body. The electors of the borough of King's Lynn have clone themselves thelonour of unanimously eluting as their re presentative in parliament that popular nobleman the Viscount Jocelyn, son and heir of the inestimable and patri otic Earl of Roden. From the spirit and talent evinced by the noble Viscount on several occasions, we hail his election as a valuable acquisition to the conservative phalanx in Sir Robert Peel's parliament. SINGULAR DEATH.—The fallowing particulars of an in quest held on the two children of Mr. Baum, of Demerara, are given in the papers just received from the colony. The cause of death was ascertained with all the certainty which such cases admit. It was produced by a violent attack of cholera, occasioned by having eaten, on Sunday last, of a turkey, in the flesh of which an animal poison had been ge nerated. This turkey, it appeared, was killed and cooked on Saturday. The only thing remarkable about it was its ex cessive fatness, which was so great as almost to incapacitate it from walking. The family ate of it on Sunday for dinner without feeling any ill effects from it. The same turkey was eaten cold on Sunday, and in the interval an imperceptible change appears to have taken place, by which it was rendered unwholesome, since all the persons who ate of it on Sunday —including all the family of Mr. Baum, and the servants, and their families—were attacked, about six or eight hours after, with cholera. The same thing happened to some rela tions of the butler, among whom, on the Monday following, he had distributed the remains of the turkey. All these pa tients were convalescent. Drs. Smith, Fraser, and Blair, all agreed in stating, that in some cases, the nature of which is not well understood, an animal poison is generated in meat both cured and fresh and especially in the fatty. Besides many cases recorded in books similar in all respects to those under investigation, they had known in their practice, cases similar in every respect, except the fatal result. This subject of animal poison is very obscure, but it would appear that the poisonous matter is generated before any putrefaction takes place, the meat retaining a sound appearance, and its taste and smell being unchanged. After the apparent putrefaction commences, the poison loses its virulence ; tainted meat, as in the case of game that is high, and among nations who ha bitually eat meat in that state, not being attended with dele terious effects. The poison would appear to reside principally in the fatty portions of the meat. In the case of death occa sioned by German sausages, bacon, and cheese, it is the fatty part of those substances in which the poisonous matter has been found to reside ; and the excessive fatness of the turkey had very probably pre-disposed it for the generation of an animal poison. In consequence of reports which were cur rent, that the turkey had been poisoned by eating arsenic, a portion of the turkey was obtained, and was submitted by Mr. Stutckbury to several very delicate chemical tests, for the purpose of ascertaining the presence of arsenic, corrosive sublimate, or copper. There was not the slightest indication of the presence of any of these substances. Mr. Stutchbury stated that he did not feel himself competent to discover, by chemical tests, the presence of animal poison, nor did he sup pose that any chemist in the colony, and few anywhere, pos sessed that skill. NEGLIGENCE OF SHERIDAN.—AIIuding to the want of poetry to which he had to compose music, he adds, " But if this were a puzzling situation for a composer, what will my readers think of that in which the actors were left when I state the fact, that, at the time the house was overflowing on the first night's performance, all that was written of the play was actually rehearsing, and that, in credible as it may appear, until the end of the fourth act neither Mrs. Siddons, nor Charles Kemble, nor Barry more had all their speeches for the fifth! Mr. Sheridan was up stairs in the prompter's room, where he was writ ing the last act of the play, while the earlier parts were acting; and every ten minutes he brought down as much of the dialogue as he bad done piecemeal into the green room, abusing himself find his negligence, and making a thousand soothing and winning apologies for having kept the performers so long in such painful suspense. Mrs. Siddons told me she was in an agony of fright ; but She ridan perfectly knew that Mrs. Siddons, C. Kemble, and Barrymore were quicker in study that any other per formers concerned, and that he could trust them to be perfect in what they had to say, even at half an hour's notice. And the event proved that lie was right : the play was received with the greatest approbation ; and, though brought out so late in the season, was played 31 nights."—Kelly's Musical Reminiscences. HINT TO A HOST.—Nothing could persuade Mrs. Thrale not to have the cloth laid and Dr. Johnson was so facetious that he challenged Mr. Thrale to get drunk ! " I wish," said he, " my master would say to me, Johnson, if you will oblige me, you will call for a bottle of Toulon, and then we will set to it, glass for glass till it is done; and, after that, 1 will say, Thrale, if you will oblige me, you will call for ano ther bottle of Toulon, and then we will set to it, glass for glass, till that is done; and, by the time we should have drunk the two bottles, we should be so happy, and such good friends, that we should fly into each other's arms, and both together call for the third !"—Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay (Miss Burney.) FONT.—The commentator Wheatley says the Font.is so called because baptism, at the beginning of Christianity, was performed in springs or fountains. They were at first built near the church, then in the church porch, and after wards (as it is now usual amongst us) placed in the church itself, but still keeping the lower end, to intimate that bap tism is the entrance into the mystical church. It is still re quired that there be a font in every church, made of stone, because, saith Durand, the water that typified baptism in the wilderness flowed from a rock, and because Christ, who gave forth the living water, is in Scripture called the corner-stone and the rock.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 16 The show of Beasts and Sheep to-day was fully an average one, the quality also very fair. Both Beef and Mutton maintained last week's rates, and, if any change, rather worse to buy. Little left unsold. Beef 6id to bid, middling :lid to did, prime Mutton did to 7d, Ewes, &c. 6d to 63d. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, FEB. 16. The price of heavy Hides has declined, and all above 801bs per lb, under 60 lbs 12s each.

FEB. 15 The demand for Cotton to-day has been exceedingly limited, as is generally the case on Tuesday's, yet the feeling is not more discouraging than yesterday. About 1,500 bales have been sold at steady prices; COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 17. The same languor and inactivity pervades our Cotton market, and though we had yesterday a better attendance of buyers, the day's business did not exceed 3GOO bales, and to-day not more than 3500 at prices much the same as last week. The market is not a well supplied one, and particular for Cotton ranging from 5d to 5-ad, on which class the demand chiefly runs neither. Transatlantic intelligence or gloomy accounts froM the manufac turing districts seem to have any influence upon it, and we may sum up our remarks by adding that we are " without change " SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 1.4 Supply of Beasts not quite so large as last Monday. Trade very heavy, a few prime Scots made 4s 6d : Sheep did not sell so well, first quality with difficulty maintaining 4s 10d. There was a few clipped Sheep at market, which made from 3s 8d to 48. The supply of Calves unusually short, which were sold slowly at the following quotations :—Beef as 2d to 4s (id, Mutton 35 10d to 4s 10d, Veal 5s to 6s, Pork 4s 4d to Ss 4d per Sibs. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 1-1 Fine English Wheat met a free sale at an advance of Is per qr, but there was no improvement in the value of , ordinary samples. The demand was steady for good foreign Wheat; at rather higher rates ; the holders generally refusing former rates, somewhat checking business therein. For bonded little inquiry was ex perienced, and no change in value can be quoted. Flour brought last week's prices, with a fair demand for prime marks ex ship. The best descriptions of malting Barley realised former rates with a:steady sale; and choice qualities, tit for seed, were the turn dearer. Malt was dull at last week's currency. Beans and Peas were in moderate request, at full as much money. The Oat trade was dull, but good Corn could not be bought lower. Inferior Irish samples were full 6d per qr cheaper. Linseed and Rapeseed were taken slowly on rather lower rates. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 15. Subsequently to Tuesday last, the arrivals of English and Irish produce into this place have been generally unimpor tant ; but, having several foreign vessels in since Friday, we have to note a liberal supply of Wheat and Flour from the American States and the southern ports of Europe, which will of course be withheld in bond for the present. Our Corn Exchange this morning was moderately well attended by local and country millers, who exercising more than usual forbearance, Wheat of all Lieseriptions met a slow limited demand • and holders being generally rather eager to sell, a decline oild. to 2d. per 701bs. was conceded for good runs of English and Foreign, and the damp ordinary sorts of Irish very unsaleable. Bonded Wheat also being nearly without inquiry no actual sales transpired to-day. Barrel Flour, duty paid, was in moderate request at late prices, and the sale of 700 brls. of States, - ander lock,- was reported at 275. ; whilst in English or Irish very little busi ness was apparent. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas continued to rule dull in the extreme, and were nominally rather lower in value. Oats, experiencing the same degree of languor as most other articles of the trade, receded Id. per 451bs. ; and Oat meal, being nearly without inquiry, was offered with very little effect, at an abatement of 6d. per 2401b5. from the rates of this day se'nnight. iirtports.
