( turinz d ards of pluitatio. ER TO On Wednesday a dinner was given, at the Thatched,house Tavern, St. James's -street, London, to the above distin guished individual, by the Colonial Company. The Right Honourable Lord Mountcashel presided; he was supported on the right by the Sir Allan M`Nab, and on the left by Sir Francis Head ; and among those present were Sir A. D'Este, Dr. Rolph, Sir D. M'Dougall, Major Cadogan, Lieut-Col. P. Taylor, the Chevalier Dillon, Dr. Ifill, Mr. M. Martin, Mr. D. Urquhart, and many other gentlemen either distin guished for their advo cacy o f our co l on i a l i n terests, or hav- ing extensive possessions j in the Canadast Sir Allan M'Nab, on his health being proposed, spoke as follows :—Re said it was a source of great exultation, on his first visit to this country, to receive fi:orn them such an over powering welcome, such a gratifying compliment as the pre sent, the remembrance of which, he gratefully assured them, could never be effaced from his mind. As a Canadian, it had always been his proudest boast to be a British subject— (cheers)—and to receive from so large an assemblage of those who enjoyed the same distinction, so much kindn e ss and cordialiii, was as gratifying as it w a s unexpected. This eom pliment possessed additional value, in his estimation. as it emanated from a society formed for the express purpose of promoting the best interests of the colonies by Etttathing. together the people inhabiting the remotest 'boundaries of the empire, when meeting at the metropolis, their common rendesvous. (Cheers.) For many years he had been a member of a legislative body in one of the most valuable of her majesty's colonies, and he could refer with pride to every vote of his given in that capacity, as an earnest of the deep affection he had ever cherished for the British crown, the British constitution, and the British nation. (Loud cheers.) Born, bred, and educated in Canada, he Could not but feel the deepest in her prosperity. He had witnessed its gra dual development—he had seen the forest yielding to the in dustry of its early settlers, and, as one of its inhabitants, it was natural to rejoice in the prosperity of his native country. But whilst he was proud to call himself a Canadian, he could not forget that he was the son of a British soldier—(cheers)— who died covered with scars from wounds honourably re- ceived in defence of his sovereign and his country, and whose remains now formed a portion of the soil of his (Sir. A. Nl`Nab's) native land. (Cheers.) This was not a fitting oc-: casion to enter upon a lengthened history of the politics of that interesting colony ; but as he felt that he owed this sig nal mark of their approbation to the part he lately took in its defence, he hoped he should be excused for bringing under their notice some of the events which occurred previously to that period, as well as during that important crisis. In 1834, a member of the imperial parliament, he believed for the first time in colonial history, ventured to advise the people re siding in a British colony to dissever their allegiance from the parent state. (Hear, hear.) Deriving the information be possessed from the most corrupt sources, he stated, to the utter astonishment of the colonists, that the crisis had arrived which would terminate in their independence, and, as if eager for the fulfilment of his prophecy, he accordingly advised them to throw off the " baneful domination of the mother country"—(loud cries of hear)—and with a view to encourage them in this rebellion, he recommended them to keep the , conduct of the United States and the results ever in view. Of course, language like this could not fail to produce the most injurious effects ; nevertheless, it requires not great discernment to foresee that such were not the sentiments of the descendants of the loyalists, and of a vast majority of the people of Upper Canada. Astounded at this treasonable doctrine, so audaciously recommended by a member of the British House of Commons, he cheerfully joined his fellow subjects in the district of Gore publicly to repudiate these sentiments, and they had the gratification of proceeding, more than 1000 in number, 45 miles, to Toronto, to lay be fore the lieutenant-governor of the province (now Lord Seaton), in the form of an address, their firm and solemn re solution to uphold the authority of Great Britain—our con nexion with the parent state—or perish in the attempt. (Cheers.) The occasion was too solemn for any hasty mea sure—it was the stern dictate of a faithful duty. They clearly foresaw, then, that if this treasonable advice was no indignantly rejected by the deople of England, that the ne, cessity would very shortly arrive for putting the sincerity o our pledge to the - test. Accordingly . in 1837 this anticipa tion was amply fulfilled, during the absence of all military power in Upper Canada. Mr. Mackenzie, obediently following the advice of Mr. Hume—(hear)—and thinking the crisis he had alluded to had arrived, boldly stepped forward, with the dagger in one hand and Mr. Hume's letter in the other — (hear)—determined to try by force whether he could not throw off' what Mr. Hume had termed " the baneful domi nation of the mother country." He knew that the lower province was then in a most fearful condition, and that hosts of armed American sympathisers were prepared to pour in from the United States to make Canada a second Texas. He knew that the province, both in front and rear, was sorely pressed; but happily for the country its destinies were then confided to a governor who justly appreciated the sterling character of the people, and who, being left without a sol dier, threw himself for protection on the militia of the pro vince ; and the result of his confidence thus reposed, afforded to the people of Great Britain a solid proof that their fellow subjects in Upper Canada were prepared to maintain their connexion with them, and resist with their lives every at tempt made to dissolve it. (Loud cheers.) It was not his intention to fatigue them with a narrative of events which then occurred, nor the part which (thanks to the gallant men that supported him) it was his good fortune to have taken with regard to them. They secured him the approbation of his most gracious sovereign, of her majesty's representatives in both provinces, as well as the approval of all the legislative bodies in British North America. (Cheers.) These he pre sumed were the introductions and the credentials which had procured for him this mark of their regard, and he trusted he estimated them as he ought on this his first visit to the British isles. Having been daring four successive parlia- ments a member of the Commons House of Assembly — having been elected speaker of that house with but one dis senting voice (the individual who gave that vote being now an outlawed traitor,) it would not, he hoped, be considered egotistical in him to claim the right of speaking of that pro vince with something like authority. He did so particularly on this occasion, because it was in the presence of those who bad always felt a warm interest in the colonies, and a sincere regard for their fellow-subjects residing therein. When Upper Canada was first settled, in 1780, by the late la mented General Simcoe, he was accompanied to the province by several of his gallant companions in arms, who had fought many a hard battle in favour of the British crown during th e revolutionary contest. The names of some of thoseindividuals could not but be familiar to their ears, as they bad frequently been stigmatised before the -world as " the Family Compact." He must confess that, previous to the unfortunate report of the late Lord Durham, he did not comprehend who were the "family compact." He re garded it as a common-place term, applied by the outs against the ins; but in that report they were particularly described as "native-born Canadians, and those who emi grated to Canada previous to the last American war ;" they were then, in fact, the decendants of those veteran soldiers who gave up extensive and valuable possessions in the United States rather than forfeit their allegiance to the British crown—(hear, hear,)—and those who emigrated to that colony previous to the year 1812. They were, in fact, those men and their descendants who rallied round General Brock, and accompanied him to Detroit, and captured that fort with General Hull and his army, and, in conjunction with the British troops and the warriors of the six tribes of native Indians, fought the battle of Queenston, and drove the army of Americans in the Niagara river. They were, in fact, the men who (in a great measure) defended the province during the last American war, when this country was occupied in a most momentous struggle. They were the men who, in conjunction with the king's troops, took the whole line of frontier from the Americans, and who had ever displayed the warmest affection to the British constitution, and who, if they were a " family compact," it could not be denied, were greatly attached to their parent, for whom they have ever displayed the warmest, the fondest, and most inviolable attachment. lf, then, this were the " family compact," he must here publicly declare that he gloried in being a member of such a family. (Cheers.) But this cry against the " family compact" was raised—by whom? Why, by Mr. Mackenzie and other needy and greedy adventurers, who sought to deprive the old public servants of the country of all participation in the patronage of the crown they had de fended ; and so successful had been this cry, that at the pre sent moment, he regretted to say, but one native Canadian was in the executive council of the province, while some honourable gentlemen (who, under the new form of govern ment, introduced into the colony by the late governor-gene ral, now assisted in administering the government of that province),. had not been i n th a t co untry half a dozen years. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Lord Glenelg's dispatch was founded on principles of justice, the Canadians required nothing more ; but how far the faith of govetnment pledged to the people of Canada in that dispatch had been carried out, reference to the dispatch, the appointments made in the colony since, and the journals of parliament, would distinctly show. (Loud and continued cheering.) During the admi nistration of the late Lord Sydenham, for the first time in his life, he (Sir A. M`Nab) found himself in opposition to the policy of the executive government. He did, he openly acknowledged, differ materially from the government on se veral important questions, viz., the concessions made by the government through its officers in the house, and now re corded on the journals of parliament, in favour of what was termed " responsible government," but he should offer no remark upon this eventful concession, because as the govern ment had conceded the point, the people of course would now act upon it—the awful responsibility of this mighty change in colonial government would rest upon those who made the con cession, and not upon the man who, like himself, opposed it in every . stage. He also, he freely acknowledged, opposed the district council bill in all its stages. He opposed the general naturalisation bill. and he gave his hearty and best assistance to investigate the grave and serious charges connected with the freedom of election in both provinces. His opposition to those measures arose from an honest conviction that they were cal culated to weaken that connexion of the colony with the mother country which it had ever been his desire to strengthen. With these general observations, which, in justice to the part he took, be bad felt it requisite to make, he left this subject, and should proceed to what was much more agreeable to his feelings, as he thought it would prove to theirs, by showing what the province of Canada really was, and how, in his humble opinion, it should be estimated by the people of this country. Their constitution was similar to that of England, the civil and criminal code was nearly the same in England and Western Canada. Their soil was not surpassed by any portion of America. Their climate was certainly equal to that of England. Their debt was about £1.300,000, not one sovereign per head of the population. Their revenue was chiefly derived from duties on imports, the legislature had made ample provision for the interest, and they had the pledge of her Majesty's government for £1,500,000 to complete their public improvements which, when finished, would greatly augment the provincial revenues. Their debt bad been con tracted in the prosecution of public works of great utility, and, when completed, would not be surpassed on the conti nent of America. Their population in Western Canada had increased in 40 years from 60,000 to 500,000. Within the last few years the Rideau Canal had been completed, the cost of which had been upwards of £1,000,000 sterling; the Welland Canal about half the amount; the St. Lawrence Canal was in progress, and would soon be c om p leted ; the Burlington Bay Canal had cost £45,000, and when the Great Western -road, from the head of Lake Ontario to the foot of Lake Huron, and from Burlington Bay to Port Dover, on Lake Erie, was completed, the trade of the great western world would be thrown into the St. Lawrence by a canal of sixty jno miles .

The debt of the state of New York, after all thei;improvements were completed, was four "into greater than that of Canada ; and those who examine making res pec tive securities would not hesitate to prefer foreign stat investments in a British province rather than in a DREADFUL CASE OF INFANTICIDE.-At Everton, near Bawtry, an inquest was held on the 22nd instant, on the deceased was the illegitimate body of a new horn male infant child.

THE MATRICIDE AT MERTHYR TYDVIL.—The jury on the coroner's inquest have returned a verdict of wilful mur der against the son of the murdered woman, and he has since been apprehended. No less than three whig chancellors, thrown entirely out of work, are observed to sit side by side every `night in the House of Lords, namely, Lords Brougham, Cottenham, and Campbell. - It has beeen resolved to raise a subscription for the purpose of raising a professorship of machinery and manufactures in the London University, to be called the "Birkbeck Profes sorship," in honour of the late Dr. Birkbeck.

INCREASE OF ODD FELLOWS. - At a meeting of the Man chester Unity of Odd Fellows, held in Wakefield, last week, Mr. Richmond stated that theoaccession to their numbers during the last ten months bad been about 28,000, and that the society now possessed between 230,000 and 240,000 members. Parliamentary and Municipal voters in Boroughs will do well to see that their names are duly entered in the Poor Rates now in course of collection, and where there is any mistake to pay the rate and claim to have it corrected. A claim to be rated without having paid or tendered all the rates due, will not avail to remedy the mistake. The English armies are not the first Europeans that have appeared as invaders in Affghanistan ; more than two thou sand years ago Alexander the Great opened through these lands a highway for commerce and civilization, which was broken up by his premature death, and has ever since conti nued closed. ASSOCIATIONS FOR THE CIRCULATION OF THE BIBLE. — The number of associations established in Great Britain at present for the circulation of the Scriptures is 2,228 ; in Ire land, 550 ; Continental Europe, 1,500 ; Asia, 83 ; Africa, 16; America, 2,800; Australia, 17; and the West' Indies, 226, sixty-nine of the latter being conductediby freed negroes. The Lord Bishop of Lichfield, being still too unwell to transact business, has executed a commission appointing the Lord Bishop of Hereford, the Archdeacons of Stafford, Derby, and Salop, and the Rev. Henry Calthrop, his lord ship's domestic chaplain, commissioners for the administra• tion of the diocese. DISFRANCHISEMENT OF SUDBURY. - Mr. Redington, the :hairman of the late Sudbury Election Committee, has given notice that on Tuesday, the 10th of May, he will move for Leave to bring in a bill to disfranchise the borough of Sudbury, on account of the bribery which prevailed at the late election there. TEN HOURS' BILL.—The Manchester short time commit tee forwarded to Lord Ashley, on Thursday last, for presen tation to parliament, petitions in favour of that measure, to which 62,773 signatures were attached, and containing the ❑ame, residence, and occupation of every individual whose signature it bears. A CALLOUS CONSCIENCE.—The Mobile Mercantile Ad vertiser bestows a just meed of virtuous indignation upon one of his " patrons," of whom the editor heard that he had been seen laughing heartily over a paragraph in the paper of the previous morning, but who had not paid his subscription for two years. How could any man enjoy a joke with such a weight upon his conscience ? WINDOW DUTY.—Return of the duty on windows as sessed for the year ending April 5, 1841, for the twelve towns in England which contribute the largest amount. The return is as follows Towns Bath Amount of duty 22,408 10,952 14,753 ... 15,377 6,972 ... 7,816 7,518 .... 30,226 .... 12,343 .... 6,892 .... 5,630 .... 12,348 Birmingham Brighton Bristol Cheltenham Clifton Leeds Liverpool Manchester Norwich Newcastle-on-Tyne Plymouth LOVE OF BI&OTHER. AND Surrna.--Ilow beautiful the link which binds the young members of a family. together I On the one side, confidence—on the other, guardianship with out authority ;on neither, selfishness. It is, perhaps, the only species of affection entirely peculiar to the human race. Parental love is a law as strong and almost more universal with the brute creation than with us ; and animals are capable of, nay, they are prone to, contracting friend ship ; but fraternal affection is unknown to them. The nearest approach to it is possibly, the herding together of young broods of birds ; yet that again is, in all probability, an instinct bearing a closer relation to the common rest ing place, the nest, or the mother's wing, than to mutual de pendence or attachment. BRISTOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—In reply to the communication from John Vining, Esq., the President of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce, Sir Robert Peel says,— " The petition (from the directors) adopted without a dis senting voice, cordially approves of the general principle and purpose of the financial and commercial measures, which it has been my duty, on the part of her Majesty's Government, to propose to parliament. It sets forth the necessity of making a vigorous effort for supplying the deficiency in the revenue, and for supporting the public credit of the country; and it expresses the confident anticipation of the petitioners, that should parliament sanction the measures I have pro posed, great advantages will result to the trading and com mercial interests of this country. Such testimony in favour of those measures, and such assurances of cordial support, are most gratifying and encouraging to her Majesty's advisers. It was my reliance on the public spirit—of which this peti tion is an example—that has always induced me to entertain the sanguine expectation of ultimate success, and the con fident belief that this great country would cheerfully submit to an impost, unusual and, under ordinary circumstances, unpopular, rather than incur the evil and disgrace of con tinued and increasing deficiency in the public revenue, after 25 years of general peace in Europe." TURNPIKE ROADS.—By the new Turnpike Bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Manners Sutton and Sir James Graham, it is proposed to continue all Turnpike Road Acts until the Ist of October, 1883. Mortgagees are restrained from taking possession of the tolls, or to sue for, recover, or receive any principal sums lent by them, or any interest, except such as directed by the bill. Mortgagees in possession are to deliver up possession and account to the trustees. The future applications of the tolls to be-Ist, in payment of all interest owing on the Ist of October next, if there be not more than six months in arrear ; 2d, in payment to the mortgagees, pari passu, half-yearly, of the yearly sum of £3 for every £lOO owing to such mortgagees; 3d, in de fraing the expenses of repairing and improving the respective turnpike roads ; and 4th, in payment of the arrears of the said yearly sum of £5 left unpaid in any preceding half-years. In all cases whore there shall be a surplus of tolls, after answering those purposes, it shall be divided amongst the mortgagees rateably. All payments to the respective mort gagees to cease, and the respective mortgagee debts held to be satisfied so soon as such mortgagees shall have received out of such surplus the following amounts in successive pe riods of five years from the first of October, 1842. First period—the full amount of their mortgage debts. Second period—after the rate of £94 11 8 for every £lOO Third period Fourth period. Fifth period..

Treasurer to retain moneys for half-yearly payments to mortgagees. Other regulations and duties of trustees, clerks, and treasurers are continued. Roads on which Exchequer Bill Commissions have made advances, and some under particular acts are excepted from the operation of this measure.

During the whole day of Monday the streets were thronged by large numbers of people, who mobbed and threw stones at several individuals who were obnoxious from their connexion with the grievances of the poor; many shop-windows were broken (though, it is believed, notintentionally) during these transactions; the shopkeepers at length closed their shops, and at an early hour all business was suspended. The mob next went to " the bastile" and broke a number of win dows there ; upon which, the magistrates reinforced the con stabulary with a large body of the Midland Counties Railway police, the firemen of the borough, and a number of special constables. An express was likewise sent off to Loughbo rough for the troop of Dragoons quartered there, which ar rived in the course of the night. Eleven of the leading rioters were arrested, and these prompt means on the part of the authorities crushed the rising anarchy in the bud, al though the town continued in a most disturbed state the whole of Tuesday, and on Wednesday, when the rioters were brought before th e mag i s t ra tes, a rescue was feared ; after a long hearing, two of the pr i soner s were discharged , and the re maining nine com m itt e d f or trial.

FOREIGN CHEESE.—It appears, by a parliamentary re turn, moved for by Sir Philip G. Egerton, Bart., M.P., that the total quantity of foreign cheese imported in the year 1840 was 226,462 cwt., and that the total quantity imported in the year 1841 was 279,149 cwt.

After the curtain had dropped at the conclusion of the first act of the first piece, a quarrel ensued behind the scenes between a Mr. Ewing, and Miss Hamblin, both attached to the theatre, in which the latter plunged a dagger to the heart of Mr. Ewing, which caused almost immediate death. After the perpetration of the awful deed, Miss Hamblin made her escape by jumping out at the window, and at tvielve o'clock that night had not been arrested.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 29. The trade has improved both in Beef and Mutton since last market day, and more partiularly in Lamb, which is quoted at tis to 7s, being almost 8d• per stone higher. In other articles there is little change in prices, but there is more demand, and a slight ten dency to further improvement. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 29. The arrivals are tolerably large of English Wheat; Barley' and Oats, with 6000 qrs. of Irish Oats, anti about 12,00 qrs. of foreign Wheat. The Wheat trade is very dull at Monday's prices. Bar ley, Oats, Beans and Pease are without alteration, but are a slow sale, unless for best qualities. The Grass Seed trade is in a very depressed state, and Tares are nearly unsaleable. Flour unaltered. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, APRIL 29. We have this week to report large arrivals of all articles in the trade. Fine samples of new Wheat were in fair request at a re duction of Is per quarter, inferior parcels of old foreign were neglected, although offered at a decline of 1 s to 2s per quarter. The season for Malting being nearly over, Barley must be noted slow of sale, and is per quarter cheaper. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Shellings were rather more inquired for than of late, and fully sup ported the rates of last week. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, MAY 2, For old Butter it is difficult to give a correct quotation ;—the trifling business doing, may almost be stated to bat the pur chasers own figure. New grass Butter comes to market slowly ; and its notice will a good deal depend upon the weather. At the close of the past week 100 s was got for Waterford ; and if the rain keeps off—much higher rates will be obtained. Beef and Pork of the finest quality are supported both in price and demand. Bacon brisk at 47s to 48s. A good deal going into South \Vales. Ura - titm.64l Wheat the duty hi redwood to 27a, ad. pet g_uarter, on Flour to lea, 7f,d, par barrel, and lnareased on Pease to 24g. 3d. per quarter, being the only change in the import rates from those last noted. Of English, Irish, and Foreign produce, the arrivals fresh in for to-day are altogether inconsiderable, as will be ob.. served on reference to the particulars subjoined. The New Corn Bill, requiring the royal assent , continues to hold the trade in suspense, and tending to delay all active business, no transactions, at all deserving remark, have oc curred during the intermediate period from our report of Tuesday last up to the present date. The general character of the trade this morning was main ly a counterpart of that contained in the preceding report ; all descriptions of free Wheats being very difficult to sell ; even the best qualities scarcely retaining our last quotations, whilst other kinds were the turn cheaper. English, Irish and foreign duty paid Flour likewise continued to meet a slow lingering sale, but without any material change in value. The bonded market being equally dull, a few hundred bar rels of States Flour at 28s. per brl. ' and about 200 qrs. of Ancona Wheat at 6s. lld. per 70Ibs. on the spot, forming the only transactions in this branch of the trade since Tuesday. . Upon a limited supply of Barley at hand, that article, as well as Malt, supported late prices. Beans and Pease, attracting very little notice, barely main tained our last currency. Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand, were taken off very sparingly, and had sales been pressed, rather lower terms must have been conceded.

It appears that about half-past ten o'clock on the morning in question, four masons' labourers had ascended the scaffolding erected over the east door of the building. On their arrival on the platform they threw down their loads of stone on the planks, which, from some cause or other, was not equal to the weight, and gave way. The mason who was working there, and the labourers , were immediately precipitated to the ground-20 feet below. On assistance being rendered, one poor man, John Allen, an Irishman, was found dead, and others materially injured.—Carde Advertiser. - - - THE MYSTERIOUS CASE AT DUBLIN.—The adjourned inquest as to the manner in which William O'Brien, Esq., of that city, came by his death, was held on Wednesday last. At the close of the inquiry the jury returned the following verdict :—" That the deceased died from natural c a use s , and not from poison ; and that they cannot separate without ex pressing their disapprobation of the conduct of Mr. William O'Brien, the nephew of the deceased, whose grounds for instituting the above proceedings appear to us to have been instigated by malice, and without the slightest foundation to justii:y the extraordinary and disgusting process of exhuming a body three months buried." Mr. Walsh stated that it was his client's intention to prosecute Mr. W. O'Brien for DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—We have this week to record the almost miraculous escape from assassination of Mr. F. Miles, of Wrington, who is well known in this part _ of the country, and held in deservedly high estimation by an extensive circle of friends. It appears that on Friday se'n night Mr. Miles had been on a visit to Bath, where he had spent the day. In the evening he returned home ; he was in his gig, and proceeded safely on his journey till near Perry bridge—this was between seven_ and eight o'clock in the evening; he there saw a man walking hastily over an adjoin ing field, with a gun in his hand. When the fellow reached the high road he made an attempt to stop the horse, but Mr. Miles, perceiving his intent, applied his whip pretty freely, and the animal, being a spirited one, plunged a little, and thus freed itself from the grasp of the robber, and proceeded at a rapid rate. His design being so far frustrated, the vil lain coolly levelled his piece at Mr. Miles, and fired, but for tunately without producing fatal results, though that gentle man was very much wounded in his head, neck, and shoul ders.—Bristol Journal. DREADFUL DEPRAVITY.—Edward Ellis, wool-comber, of Jewrywall-street, was yesterday committed for trial at the assizes, on a charge of having committed a rape on his own two daughters, one of whom is 13 years of age, and the other 10. He has been carrying on his brutal practice for nearly three years upon the eldest child, and threatened to murder her if she at any time exposed him. On Sunday last, the poor little creatures were overheard by some of the neighbours, while conversing together in the yard on the sub ject. The neighbours have for some time suspected the fa ther, and they immediately informed the mother of the cir cumstance. Mrs. Ellis instantly questioned her children, when they communicated to her the whole of this horrible and disgusting affair. Information having reached the ears of Mr. Charters, the superintendent of police, he gave direc tions for the man to be apprehended, and a policeman dis covered him in bed at a brothel on Sunday.—Leicester paper.

PROPOSED DISMEMBERMENT OF THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—We have just received information that it has been decided to separate Yorkshire from the Northern Cir cuit, and to join it with the Midland Circuit. In our seventh page will be found a memorial of the West -Riding magistrates assembled in quarter sessions to the Queen in council, against this proposed change, and we had hoped that the very strong and decided feeling in opposition to the innova tion would have been respected ; but it now appears that such is not to be the case. How the various conflicting interests which this change will produce are to be reconciled ; and how the great public concerns that will be affected by it are to be saved, it passes our comprehension to conjecture. Are all the clients, professional and extra-professional, of this vast and wealthy county to be thrown upon a body of legal advo cates, personally strangers, and by practice unexperienced in all the local pecularities of the district, and that too with a far more limited choice of counsel, the number of members on the Midland Circuit being necessarily smaller and com prising fewer eminent men than that body which has been attracted to the Northern Circuit by the much more ample field it offers for successful practice ? Then, again, are the members of the Northern Circuit Bar to be deprived of the most lucrative portion of their practice without compensa tion ? Or, being at liberty to retain their Yorkshire practice by migrating to the Midland Circuit, are they to relinquish Lancashire, Durham, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland, for the chances of what they may pick up as strangers on the Midland Circuit ? These are grave questions, involving the adjustment of extensive popular predilections, and private interests which may fairly be regarded as vested rights, and exciting dissatisfaction and difficulties more easily raised than allayed. If the Northern Circuit is too large, it has arisen out of contempt in the first instance, when its dis tance from the central powers caused it to be less favoured in the‘visitation of legal tribunals than other parts of Eng land; much in the same spirit as Horace would have banished war and pestilence from Rome to Persia and Britain ;—and now that the ancient slight has produced effects which make the Northern Circuit the most enviable for its wealth and importance, it is too bad to attack it on the opposite side. — Leeds Intelligencer. COUNTY CONSTABULARY MEETING OP MAGISTRATES. — On Thursday a meeting of the magistrates, acting within the petty sessional division of Manchester, was held at the New Bailey Court-house, Salford, at eleven o'clock, for the pur pose of carrying into effect the resolution passed at the an nual session at Preston, on 31st March, and for considering what number of officers and men will in future be sufficient for the petty sessional division of Manchester. The first re solution was, " That the monthly accounts for contingencies be laid before the magistrates on the first Thursday after the 3d of each month, at the New Bailey Court-house, at twelve o'clock." This resolution, which has simply for its object the management of the money transactions connected with the division, instead of leaving them to the annual sessions at Preston, was carried without opposition. In the course of a long conversation afterwards, as to the propriety of con tinuing the present expensive constabulary force, it was moved, " That upon a careful review of the exigencies of the district called the petty sessional division of Manchester, it appears to this meeting, that the constabulary force cannot with propriety be reduced below the existing number assigned to that district, being at the rate of about one constable for each 1700 inhabitants." To this proposition Sir Thomas Potter moved an amendment, that the number of constables be reduced from 58 to 50. It was urged against the amend ment that the saving would amount to only one-fifth of a farthing in the assessment, and that it was a sum too insigni ficant to be worth carrying into effect. The original motion was carried. The only other business connected with the force was in relation to details, and not of public interest. The London Morning Post in its summary of the contents of the French papers, says,—" Sunday's Paris papers are quite destitute of news, and as dull as are their leading arti cles. All the world had gone, in the afternoon, under a broil ing sun, to the races on the Champs de Mars, the desecration of the Sabbath for such a purpose being thought nothing of. A hurdle race, in addition to some good entries, had added to the attraction of the military race course."—We have not yet come to this in England. We may be equally indifferent to the right observance of the Sabbath ; but we do not carry our " Christian liberty" quite so far as to admit horse-racing within its circle. What we may be by-and-by, when " phi losophised" and " continentalised" out of our Christianity, time will tell. It would, no doubt, be delightful could we be induced to adopt the maxims and to imitate the examples held in admiration by such multitudes of " the wise ones of the earth." What a number of inconvenient incumbrances and unreasonable restraints we should get rid of, and how plea sant it would be to see, as in Paris, the shops open and the theatres crowded, and to hear the chink of the trowel and the sound of the hammer as the mason and the carpenter progressed in their work ! Oh ! but we need not go so far ; we don't want to abolish the Sabbath altogether. And why not ? If you abolish three-fourths, or one-half, on what prin ciple is the remainder to be spared? If you are not bound to the observance of the whole of the day, how are you bound to the observance of a part ? But no matter. Our philoso phists will have their way : but let those who are happily furnished with a better guide, walk "in the old paths." They will find them safer in the end than those " innocent recrea tions" by which the mind is insensibly initiated into indiffer ence and disrespect. THE ESTABLISHED Ciruncir.—During the last year eight Methodist preachers of Bolton, Lancashire, have re nounced their errors, and obtained admission to the Church of England. The Rev. James Slade, M.A., the vicar, preached a sermon on the opening of Christ Church, (for merly a dissenting place of worship, and known as Ebenezer Chapel,) from which the following interesting particulars re lative to the circumstance alluded to above are collected : " The congregation at Ebenezer Chapel," said Mr. Slade, " belonged to what is called the Methodist New Connexion. The Rev. Thomas Berry, minister of t he cha p el, had long been greatly dissatisfied with the system of dissent, a fact which he neve r concealed. Last :year an opening presented itself for the disposal of the chapel, and it appeared that his desire to join the established church was shared by some of the leading members of his congregation. Upon this he communicated with me, and as his character was well known to me, I directly laid the case before the bishop, who at once consented to ordain Mr. Berry, provided that the congrega tion and chapel, with all its appurtenances, were transferred to the church. With the exception of a very small portion of the people, this entire transfer was agreed to be made. The bishop accepted the promise held out, and Mr. Berry was ordained accordingly. It was now found that his coad jutor in the ministry of the chapel had previously formed an intention of leaving it, and of going to the University. Six of the local preachers also came over to the church, as did all the trustees, who had long been, like the minister, much dissatisfied. The greater portion of the schools connected with the chapel, both teachers and scholars, followed the ex ample of Mr. Berry. The building is licensed till the con secration can take place, and the service i s n ow conducted according to the rubric of the established church." This is very encouraging. Some converts from Romanism have lately been received into our communion. Three Romanist ladies, resident at Saltash, Cornwall, having abjured the errors of the Romish Church, were admitted as recognised members of th e Ch urch of E ng l an d by the Rev. G. H. Pedlar, M.A., curate of that place. —Correspondent of the Morning Post. Coromandel: Ryan, from China, off Penzance Albert, Keith, from Demerara, off Cove, in 39 days.

The supply of Sheep was larger, but no alteration in prices. There were also several lots of Lambs, of which the price varied according to quality, from 205 to 30s.

The trade throughout the past week has continued very inactive , supplies of all articles rather exceed the current demand, which has been confined to select samples of each, at prices scarcely so good as on this day week. The weather Continues dry and parch ing; hot sun accompanied by cold East wind, and the want of rain is beginning to be felt. The new law will probably come into operation during neNt week—when, through payment of duty will not be generally made. it will probably take place to some extent upon such qualities of Wheat as are suited to the present neces sities of the market. At our Corn Exchange to-day, fine new Wheats can scarcely be quoted lower than on this day week, but old, and all secondary qualities are purchaseable on rather lower terms. Flour is the turn cheaper, with little demand for anything but choice fresh qualities. Oats and Oatmeal, with a very limited inquiry, tend downwards in value. Beans, Malt, and other articles without variation. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, May 2 Adverse winds have materially operated in checking the arrival of vessels to this port during the past .week,-although we have to report a moderate extent of Potatoes to hand, both from the Isle of Man, Scotland, Ireland, and also from Guernsey and Jersey. For these few past days there has been a very animated business doing in all descriptions of the root, at the full currency of our last report. Pinkeyes Is sod to 25 Id ; Guernsey and Jersey Blues Is gd to 2s Id per gi)lb.

Only a very moderate enquiry for Cotton in our market to-day. The sales are not likely to exceed 3,000 bales of all descriptions. The sales of the week are comparatively small, say 19,990 bales, of which speculators have taken 2,000 American, and exporters 1700 of various descriptions. As regards prices, we consider the lower descriptions of Ameri can Cotton id. down since this day week, whilst the better classes, and also Brazils, are more enquired for, and fully maintain previous rates. The public sale of Sea Islands was thinly attended, and few sold, at a decline upon previous business by private. COTTON MARKET, MAY 2. Our Cotton market has fallen back into its wonted quiet and spiritless state ; the demand on Saturday was to the extent of 3 000 bales, and to-day about 3500 have been sold at last week's prices. 400 American for export. The late heavy arrivals are not yet landed. Holders do not press their stocks on the market, or mani fest any anxiety to effect sales, which has a salutary effect in keep ing the market perfeetly steady, even with the tame feeling that pervades it. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. The disposition to speculate has almost subsided, and the Trade have likewise been less desirous to purchase. The extensive sales, however, of the preceding fortnight having in some degree relieved the market, holders have not been anxious to press sales, and, sxcept for the middling and lower qualities of American, which have given way id per lb, the quotations remain as last week. At public sale to-day 1320 Sea Island, 200 Stained and 360 Madras were offered, but only 200 Sea Island and 100 Stained were sold, at a decline of id per lb on the lower qualities ; 130 Madras were also disposed of. Speculators have taken 2000 American, and EXporters 1000 American, 350 Pernambuco, 270 Surat and 70 Madras. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 22nd to the 28th instant, inclusive.
