BURDETT deprecated these attacks upon the upper classes of society, more particularly as it was under the cir cumstances impossible to reply to them. It was, he con tended, mere delusion to attribute to the corn laws the dis- tress or the manufacturing population. Mr. LABOOCHERE alluded to the former opinions of Sir F. Burdett on the subject of the corn laws, and to the sup -rt which he had given to the measures of Mr. Huskisson, 'id that he had many important changes in the Customs 'ng forward. Indeed, scarcely a year would be al nich some important relief would not have would, however, under existing circum c his hon. friend to withdraw his motion, as it if carried, have the weight which it would have cliff.— 'ent state of things.

Mr. WAKLEY inquired of Lord Ingestre whether some experiments, said to have been witnessed by his lordship, which were performed by Mr. Warner, to demonstrate the power and utility of certain inventions, alleged to be appli cable to naval and military conflicts, were correctly described in a morning journal, and in a pamphlet recently published, XIT 1 • he experiments had taken place, and A* them had been published, for h e . . cquisitionot tins invention of most enor n secured to this country.

Attwood has made his appearance in Birmingham to assist Messrs. Muntz and Scholefield, the whig radical candidates, over tbeir difficul ties, and keep the refractory chartists in check while the game is being played. How far he will be successful in either ob ject remains to be seen, but it argues no great confidence in their own strength, or their influence with the "liberal" por tion of the constituency, when we find our mis-representa tives obliged to trade on the popularity of the great leader of the political union, " the man of the masses," or " King Tom," as he is familiarly styled ia Birmingham. CAMBRIDGE (COUNTY).—Mr. Eaton and Mr. E. Yorke stand as hitherto on the conservative interest, to be joined in all probability by a new candidate on the same side; whilst Mr. Townley will look to the support of the whig party in the county. CIRENCESTER.—Mr. Cripps retires. We believe that it is the intention of William Cripps, Esq., barrister-at-law, to solicit the suffrages of the electors in the place of his esteemed father. CORNWALL (WEST).—Lord Boscawen has commenced a personal canvass, and next week intends visiting the several towns of this division. It is said that Mr. Praed, who has for some time represented St. Ives, will start in conjunction with his lordship ; but the reportlrequires confirmation. A knot of radicals despatched from Redwith, on Friday, a soli citation to a relation-of the Hon. Mrs. Agar to contest the county, conjoined with Mr, Pendarves. DURHAM (SOUTH).—In the room of Mr. Pease, Lord H. Vane comes forward. The conservatives will bring forward Lord Dungannon, at present M.P. for the city of Durham, a requisition to whom has been most numerously signed. ESSEX.—The members for the southern and northern di visions of this county have issued addresses to their constitu ents, and there is not at present any appearance of opposi tion. At Colchester Sir G. H. Smyth and Mr. Sanderson are the only candidates in the field, and at Maldon we do not hear that anything is yet stirring. Harwich, however, promises a warm contest. Mr. Herries has declined pre senting himself again, and has joined Mr. Fitzroy Kelly at Ipswich ; but we have just learned from an authentic source that Mr. Attwood, of Hylands, Widford, will offer himself with another conservative gentleman for the borough Essex Herald. GATESHEAD.—Mr. Hutt will walk over the cot is no chance of a successful opposition. GLOUCESTER (EAST), JUNE 15.—A t►t yesterday GENERAL ELECT -SCOTLAND was, d at the Bell Inn in this city, to consider what course the conservatives should pursue on the present occa sion. Upwards of 300 of the principal gentry and yeomen of the county attended, Sir M. H. Beach, Bart., in the chair, at which it was resolved that the Hon. Francis Charteris should be solicited to allow himself to be placed in nomina tion, in conjunction with Mr. Codrington. Sir John Guise is the liberal candidate. but it is believed he will retire, and allow the two conservatives to walk the course. GLOUCESTER (CITY).—Lord Loftus has accepted an invi tation to be put in nomination in conjunction with Mr. Hope. The liberal candidates are Mr. Phillpotts and Capt. Berkeley, R.N., now in the Mediterranean. HALIFAX.--Sir George Sinclair stands for this borough. It is understood that Mr. Gully, formerly M.P. for Ponte fract, will be put in nomination. IPswicx.—Most active exertions are being made in this borough by the " lib era l s " t o secure the return of Mr. Rigby Wagon. At present he stands "by himself, alone," no other " liberal" candidate having ventured to come forward. If the conservatives exert themselves as they are in duty bound to do, the election of Mr. }terries and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, by considerable majorities, is quite certain. Mr. Herries is so well known as a public man, and his talents are so univer sally acknowledged, that it would be idle to say anything in his favour. It may, however, be observed that his election would do honour to any constituency in the kingdom ; and he is a man of whom the borough of Ipswich may justly feel proud. As for Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, his attention to the inte rests of his constituents, during the few years he has repre sented them, and his consistency as a politician, fully entitle him to a renewal of the trust which Ipswich has reposed in him. There is, we are happy to add, no reason to fear that the good cause will suffer in Ipswich. KENT (WEST).—It is expected that Mr. Hodges will re sign ; but should he not do so, Lord Marsham will certainly be returned in his place., LANCASTER.—Mr. Greene and Mr. Marton are the pre sent conservative candidates and members. On Friday week a Mr. F. Dashwood, cousin of Lord Lauderdale, made his appearance, addressed the electors, and commenced an active canvass of the town. MAIDSTONE.—The aspirant for parliamentary honours, who is so strenuously canvassing the electors of Maidstone, is not Mr. Hope, M.P., nor Mr. Adrian Hope, but Mr. Alexander James Beresford Hope, the youngest son of Lady Beresford. * Mr. Ramsay, of Baruton, ROXi3URGH Mr. H.

Nnightley and Mr. Cartwright will walk over the southern division, and Mr. Maunsell and Mr. Augustus O'Brien for the northern, as it is useless for any one to oppose them. A very high and deserved compliment has been paid to G. Payne, Esq. (of Sulby Hall), in the shape of a requisition, signed by more than 800 conservative electors, soliciting him to come forward for the borough ; and it is to be deeply re gretted that his health will not permit him to accept it, as he is sufficiently popular here, from the interest he has taken in the sporting and other matters in the county, to have secured his election, and would have stood a better chance of success than any other man ; but I am happy to inform you that Sir Henry Willoughby has consented to come for ward, with almost a certainty of success. We trust that Northampton will be the means of adding one more to Sir R. Peel's majority in the new parliament. We have most favour.ble news from Peterborough. PENRYN AND FALMOUTH.—FALMOUTH, June 12.—0 n Friday night the conservatives met at Selley's Hotel, in the latter town, pursuant to a few hours' notice, when were pre sent at least 250 electors. The business was mainly to ap point a committee of the two boroughs to manage the affairs of the ensuing election, and to decide on two candidates to fight the battle of the constitution on their suffrages. It appears that five gentlemen had proffered their services, and of these the committee, who at once began their labours, de termined to introduce to the electors Messrs. Wyat and Gwyn ; the former is the eminent architect in London, and both are every way qualified to come down here. REIGATE.--It is said that Bedford, the tinman, is in doubt whether he shall contest this borough with Lord Eastnor, or whether he shall oppose Sir Robert Peel, at Tamworth.

SALFORD.—The radicals are making desperate efforts here in favour of Mr. Brotherton. A subscription has been opened to defray his expenses, at the head of which is Sir Thomas Potter for £lOO. Money, money, is now the wat ery of the party, for what object may hereafter come to light. SALISBURY, JUNE 14.—A1l three candidates were active again in the field this day—namely, Wadham Wyndham, Esq„ M.P., William Bird Brodie, Esq., M.P., and the Hon. Anthony John Ashley, Esq. Mr. Brodie, one of our present liberal (?!!) members, considered himself so perfectly safe on Saturday last, that he deemed a committee to be per fectly useless ; the result of this day's canvass has, however, taught him a more useful lesson, and unless the state of things take a very different turn he will hardly venture to come to the poll. SHEFFIELD.—Private letters state that it is by no means improbable that Mr. Urquhart and Colonel Taylor, the con servatives, or at least one of them, will be elected. SHREWSBURY. — So far as the canvass of Mr. D'lsraeli and Mr. Tomline has gone, it has been highly satisfactory. Sir Love Jones Parry, the eccentric whig candidate, has not much chance of success, though he and his friends speak confidently of the result of the ensuing contest. It is very probable that both, or at least one of the conservative candi dates, will he elected. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—It is at length finally deter mined not to contest this division of) the county, as, al though a decided progress has been made by the conserva tives since the last election, yet the registry is so equally balanced, that it would be a waste of strength, which can be better employed elsewhere, to run the hazard of a contest. Should the Conservative Registration Association continue to use the efforts which they have hitherto done with so much success, the southern division of the county of Staf ford will speedily be rescued from whig dominion. STROUD.—M. W. Meryweather, Esq., of Norton Couch, has addressed the electors, announcing himself as a candi date in the event of Lord John Russell standing for London. He is in favour of the ballot, a £lO franchise with no restric tions, and a free importation of corn at a low fixed duty. SURREY (EAST).—Mr. Kemble and Mr. Antrobus intend to stand for the county when the dissolution takes place, and there can be no doubt they will both be re-elected. TAMWORTH.—The return of Sir R. Peel is, of course, sure, and Captain A'Court again offers himself as a candi date. Marmion E. Ferrers, Esq., has addressed the electors in behalf of his relative Captain Townshend, who is abroad, and an active canvass, in behalf of Captain Tovenshend, has been commenced. TEWKESBURY.—A very severe contest is expected in this borough. Mr. Martin and Mr. Dowdeswell, the present members, will again seek the suffrages of the electors. The liberals of the town have brought down Mr. Easthope, a son of the member for Leicester, as a candidate along with Mr. Martin, and very strenuous exertions will be made to secure his return in the room of Mr. Dowdeswell. It behoves the conservatives to put their shoulders to the wheel right man fully, or they will assuredly see the representation of the town wrested from them, and placed in the hands of one who is an utter stranger to the town, who is totally unknown as a public man, and whose principal claim to the distinction he seeks, is that of being the son of the hon. member for Leicester. Deep disgrace will be reflected on the conserva tives of Tewkesbury if they allow this young, inexperienced, and unknown man to snatch the representation of the town from the hands of the present member, who has always paid the greatest attention to the local concerns of his constitu ents, and who, on all occasions, has proved himself a con sistent politician. WARWICKSHIRE.—For the northern division of this county no opposition appears to be anticipated. Mr. W. S. Dug dale and Sir J. E. E. Wilmot have addressed their constitu ency. Fur the southern division, Sir John Mordaunt and Mr. E. J. Shirley have announced to their constituents con jointly that they intend again to solicit their suffrages, With regard to the election for the borough of.AWarwick nothing has yet transpired.—Birmingham Gazette. WALSALL.—J. N. Gladstone, Esq. has announced his in tention of again soliciting the suffrages of the electors of this borough. In reference to the question of the corn laws the hon. gentleman observes in his address, published on Satur day :—" The total and immediate repeal of the corn laws would, I believe, have a most injurious effect on the working classes of this country, and instead of increasing the amount of employment, would be much more likely to diminish it and the means of purchasing the necessaries of life. I consider that a fluctuating duty is preferable to a fixed one, and I wish to impress on your attention that had the plan proposed by Lord John Russell been in operation during the last three years, the duties paid on imported wheat would have amounted to nearly one million more than has been paid under the existing laws—the epithet of bread taxer, there fore, belongs more justly to him and his supporters than to those to whom it is frequently applied ; but 1 am by no means opposed to all change in the present corn laws, and I think that foreign corn ought to be admitted at a lower rate of duty than it is at present." Mr. Gladstone, in the concluding part of his address, advocates Mr. Huskisson's views as to free trade, and expresses his opinion ".that fair protection should be the rule, and prohibition only exist as the exception where special and peculiar circumstances may render its adoption necessary.' Mr. Gladstone is expected to pay his respects to the electors, and to enter fully into the great question now at issue, as soon as released from his parliament ary duties. Mr. J. B. Smith, " the rejected," has published au address to the Anti-Corn-Law Circular, declaring his in tention ccifk cation not to solicit the electors again, as he conceives that, in the present state of the register, he cannot do so with any Lord Francis Egerton is about to erect a princely m ans i on : s h u ta ce s,:i e n. ss.

Ireland. 9 On the whole representation WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST).-Mr. Horace St. Paul and Mr. Barneby have renewed the offer of their valuable ser vices to the electors of the eastern division of the county of Worcester. It is expected that from the present posture of affairs the whigs will not have the hardihood to offer any op position whatever to the re-election of either of these gentle men. • They have made a great talk indeed of a candidate or candidates, who are willing and ready to solicit the suffrages of the electors on " liberal" principles, but at present no one has appeared, neither is it likely that any one will be in duced to come forward. If, however, a liberal should be so foolish as to offer himself, his defeat by an overwhelming majority is inevitable. _ WORCESTER.—After representing the city of Worcester for more than 20 years, Col. Davies, on account of ill health, has intimated his intention not again to seek a renewal of the trust reposed in him. The liberals made an attempt to get Sir Thomas Wilde, the solicitor-general, to come forward, and it was authoratively announced that he had consented to stand. Within the last few days, however, it has been whis pered that the the hon. and learned gentleman has con sidered it right to beat a retreat, The whig-radicals thinking Sir William Molesworth had plenty of money, and was not overburthened with wisdom, thought, perhaps, he might be induced to come forward along with Sir Thomas Wilde. A. requisition to the hon. baronet was accordingly got up, re questing him to allow himself to be put in nomination. The Cornish baronet was, however, rather too. wide awake to be caught by the cunning whigs of Worcester, and he accord ingly declined their earnest invitation, on the ground that he does not wish for a seat in the new parliament. The whigs thus foiled are at their wits' ends. The election of Mr. Bailey is certain, come what may. A. London newspaper stated that Alderman Farebrother had consented to stand as a second conservative candidate with him, but it does not appear that there was any authority for such a statement ; at all events no address has yet appeared from the alderman, neither have exertions been made in his behalf. There is an excellent opening for a conservative, and it is to be hoped that one will come forward without delay. According to the present feature of affairs, it is more than probable that he and Mr. Bailey would be elected without opposition. CANDIDATES DECLARED.

We have carefully gone over the various lists of new can didates for boroughs and counties in England and Scotland, and, as far as we can at present anticipate, the following gains will accrue to the conservatives. We give the list at full length, viz. : Estimated Gain to the Conservatives 3 Seats. 1 London 2 Middlesex 3 Cornwall (East) 4 Coznwall (West) 5 Lads 6 Somerset (East) 7 Exeter 8 Cheshire (North) 9 Cheshire (South) 10 Yorkshire (West Riding) .. 11 Northumberland (North) 12 York 13 Northallerton 14 Worcestershire (West) 15 Dorsetshire 16 Hull 1 17 Lincolnshire (North) 18 Shields (South) 19 Lincolnshire (South) 20 Guildford 21 Sussex (East) 22 Sussex (West) 23 Surrey (West) 24 Plymouth 25 Hertford 26 Herts 1 27 St. Alban' s . ...... _ Total There are, doubtless, as many more seats to be gained b Conservatives ; but these we will allow as a set-off agains the few trifling losses which they may, and probably will sustain. Now for Scotland. The Conservatives will gain in Edinburgh (County) Roxburghshire Stirlingshire Haddington Burghs . Argyllshire . Elgin Total 6 At least six votes, to say nothing of the various other burghs, all of which are now held by the radicals. The gain in Ireland, we estimate, on the whole, at about five or six votes—thus, There will be in England a gain of Scotland Ireland 31 Seats 6 6 Ses. Sir Robert P ee l has already 43 a majority of one vo at te in the present House of Commons. The above gain of 43—say 45 seats, will make a difference of 90 votes on a division. Thus, on the late division, there were— CONSERVATIVES, 312 LIBERALS 311 Deduct, Making a majority of 91 in favour of Sir R. Peel in the new parliament ; and probably it will amount to 100. This is cheering. STATISTICS OF TAR GE NERAL ELECTION.

WINCHESTER.—Mr. Pas* Mildmay does not intend again to contest the representation of Winchester. Mr. East and Mr. Bicklam Escott have commenced their canvass. WINDSOR, TUESDAY. — Notwithstanding the influence which has been exerted by the whig faction connected with the court to thrust upon the electors of this borough one nominee, at least, of the castle, (what Mr. Ramsbottom really is, just now, no one knows,) there is no doubt of the return of the conservative candidate. TRADE The existing system—designed, as we have said, with the double view of securing an average return for his industry to the farmer on the one hand, and an average supply of food for the community on the other—not brought forward for any factious purpose, devised after mature consideration, and open only to one class of abuses, easily remided—accom modates itself to all states of the market, protecting the agri cultural interest in seasons when it needs protection, and relaxing that protection in favour of the public whenever its enforcement would press upon the comfort of the commu nity, 'the proposed system—designed to effect a permanent de crease in the returns of the farmer's industry, brought for ward as a bid for popular favour by a beaten and desperate faction — accommodates itself to no one assignable condition of the most fluctuating premises in the world, but one; and, in accommodating itself to that one unfrequent and transitory conjuncture, violates the very principle of free trade, of which its advocates have the impudence to call themselves the supporters ; places the British or Irish farmer, in years when he requires protection, on a par with those who, in such seasons, can undersell and beggar him ; and, in seasons when he does not require protection, protects him at the cost of a famishing community. Both systems equally violate the abstract idea of free trade. But the one is honest in its origin, applicable in its provisions, and efficacious in its working ; the other originates in faction, applies but to one case in the whole category of changes in cident to wind and weathe r , an d wou id i nev it a bl y wor k ex- , _ ..... cessive injury to the agricultural classes in Great Britain,and absolute ruin to all classes in Ireland. The originators and advocates of this dishonest device must not, we repeat, be allowed to arrogate to themselves the cre dit with the vulgar of advocating free trade. It is not free trade to keep foreign grain out, unless it pays a duty of a shilling bushel. It is not a free trade to keep Norwegian timber out, unless it pays a duty. It is not free trade to keep Brazilian sugar out, unless it pays a duty of— In all these proposals of ministers, the principle of free trade is violated. We do not blame them for that; but we blame them because they have violated this principle only in that inadequate degree which is calculated to work a great amount of injury to the community. We think that the ab stract idea of a perfectly unrestricted interchange of coin modities, except among subjects of the same state, can never be realised in p rac ti ce ; an d we advocate the violation of it whenver its violation may be conducive to the national hide pendence, the encouragement of our friends and allies abroad, or the stability of society at home. What they propose will conduce to none of these ; and yet it flies in the face of free trade in the abstract, just as absolutely as all that they pro pose to do away with on this very plea of advocating free trade principles. ADDRESS OF THE PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION TO THE ELECTORS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. The time has now arrived when it is necessary to decide on what principles this great empire shall henceforth be go verned—whether on the pure and sound protestant principles of our forefathers, which formerly secured to Great Britain God's blessing, and under which she attained unequalled national prosperity and renown, or by the new system of modern liberalism, under which truth and error are to be alike sanctioned or alike disregarded ? By you, fellow-countrymen ! by your votes at the election of your representatives must an answer be given to this im• portant, this vital question. Let each man then remember, that in exercising the elective franchise, he discharges a great public trust, and either fulfils or abandons his duty. Consider, we beseech you, the real state of affairs; be not led away by idle words, but look, and look carefully to facts. Popery, the former scourge and bane of the conntry—popery, the curse of Ireland, and Italy, and Spain —popery, the pro phesied " mystery of iniquity," is again making progress among us. In 1837 forty-one papists were returned to par liament ; by these mei' on nearly every division since has the scale been turned. By papists, therefore, you have of late been virtually governed. Think not, brother electors, that Popery has neglected to use the enormous power thus possessed. In three short years Popery has placed her votaries in the palace, in the council, and on the bench. A Papist is the treasurer of the Queen's household, four of the Queen's privy councillors, three of the Irish judges, one of the lords of the treasury, the Irish solicitor-general, the vice-president of the board of trade, the secretary of the admiralty—these and many minor officers of state at home and abroad, are now Papists. Very much of this progress has been made since 1837. Return such another parliament ; and what then ? Will Popery be contented with what she has ? Far from it. She is am - bitious, and craves supremacy ; she is despotic, and will turn power into tyranny ! And what is this popery ; some new or some amended reli gion ? No ! Popery is unchanged and unchangeable ; she is the author of the inquisition, the ancient persecutor of the church of God ; and even now, in the 19th century, teaches in her colleges the doctrines that so long degraded Christen dom, and deluged nation after nation with blood. To pa pists the bible without comments is still a forbidden book ; they are still deluded with the mummeries of the mass. And what has been her treatment of protestants ? Let the atro cities of the inquisition, the gunpowder plot, the fires of Smithfield, the massacre of St. Bartholemew, the slaughters in Ireland and the Low Countries, and the recent banish ment of nearly five hundred protestants from the Tyrol, reply to this thrilling question ; Brother Protestants ! this very Popery is now supported by grants from the public treasury. £50,000 a year is paid for a system of education conducted almost entirely by Ro mish priests in Ireland—a system in which the Bible is mu tilated, and therefore Gon is dishonoured. £9,000 is annu ally paid to the College of Maynooth, where Popish priests are trained to disseminate her baneful principles throughout Ireland. £2,350 was paid in 1838 to build Popish chapels in Ireland. £14,764 is annually paid to Popish priests in the colonies. These are facts. Do you approve of them ? If Popery be true, why is so little done for her—if false, why anything at all ? Remember, our present gracious Queen, when she ascended the throne, was required solemnly to declare that Popery was superstituous and idolatrous. And is she, almost as soon as seated there, to be surrounded with Popish coun cillors ? Fellow countrymen, be not deceived. We do not ask you to vote for this party or for that: but we implore you to pause before you vote for any one who directly or indirectly favours popery or infidelity. Vote, then, for true Protestants, and for such men only. Oppose all who oppose them, and once more give to Great Britain a Protestant House of Commons, and restore to her the character of a Protestant nation. This, at the present crisis, when Jesuits and infidels, when chartists and social ists, are banded together with revolutionary designs—this, fellow countrymen, is your great political duty. For the blessings you now enjoy martyrs have perished at the stake, and the blood of your ancestors has been profusely shed. Oh ! let it not be in vain ! Let not the blood of your fathers reproach you with treachery to the good old cause they loved, and with indifference to their glorious examples. Return God-fearing men to parliament ; and then the light of the Lord's countenance will shine on our senate—his spirit will guide their deliberations—and the righteousness which " exalteth a nation" will again bring down his bless ings upon us. ` Pi - Ovideout of all the people able men ; such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness." — Exodas xviii. 21. (From the Dublin Evening Mail) Ministers and their candidates must not be permitted to have the credit (if credit it be) which they have the impu dence to claim, of advocating the principles of free trade. Free trade means the unrestricted import of the commodities of other countries in exchange for the productions of this. But it is not an unrestricted import of foreign corn to let it in at a duty of a shilling a bushel, or in other words to keep it out, unless it pays that duty. That is not done on the prin ciple of free trade ; it is done on the principle of protection —on the principle of restriction, prohibition—if you will, monopoly. It is, to the extent of a bushel, a corn-law—a bread-tax—just as clearly at variance with, and in deroga tion of, the principles of free trade, as the present sliding scale so much denounced by the advocates of unrestricted commerce. The only difference is, that, on an average of years, it would let foreign corn in, perhaps one-fourth cheaper than the present system (and thereby lower the value of all agricultural produce in these countries in a pro portionate degree ;) -while in years of scarcity it would keep it out, unless it paid that eight shillings a quarter duty, where the much decried sliding scale now admits it duty free. Thus, in good years the country would suffer from the admission of foreign grain so cheap, that the farmers at home would be ruined in striving to compete with it; and in bad years, the country would suffer from the exclusion of the needful supply, unless at a price so horribly dear—for it would always be Bs. a quarter above the current market price, that current price being then at famine pitch—(there is the beauty of a fixed duty)—that nobody could afford, without ruin, to purchase it A fixed duty on foreign corn is, in fact, the most absurd thing in the world. The only ground on which a duty of any sort, whether fixed or sliding, can be imposed, is as by way of protection. It is by the way of protection Ministers proposed their fixed duty of a shilling a bushel. See, then, the sort of pr o t ect i on i t a ff or d s. I n very good years it will be no protection at all ; for, the better the year, and the more abundant the commodity at home, the less need will the farmer have for protection from an article with which he can nearly compete as it, is. In the majority of middling years it will not be protection enough ; and the British farmer, notwithstanding this advantage of eight shil lings a quarter, will be undersold and ruined. In bad years it eance, but w h en p u bli c po li cy will be protection with a veng and state necessity would make it most desirable that the protective system should be pro tempore suspended, as by the present law it is, whenever prices reach the point of undue pressure on the national means of subsistence. In a word, there is but one condition of the market to which a duty ofBs. a-quarter is applicable —namely, where that amount of protection will secure the farmer an average return for his crop on the one hand, and the public an average supply of food on the other; and that point the present sliding scale ascertain, perhaps as nearly as human ingenuity could devise. Thus, out of all the variety of conditions in which the crop may be, a variety of conditions resulting from the combina tion of the most fluctuating and unstable agencies in nature, there is but one to which the ministerial plan is applicable— and even that upon a principle of protection and in deroga tion of the pure theory of free trade ; while the sliding scale aeconirnodatesitselfto all, from a state of the most redundant and overflowing fruitfulness, to that of the most pinching— or to that which, but for its liberal provisions would be one L i of the most pinching—scarcity. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, JUNE 15.—Th e re has been a fair amount of business done during the last week, both in goods and yarn ; the effect o f w hi c h h as b een to ren der prices some what more steady than before, but without causing any ad vance. The improvement would probably have been more marked, had it not been checked by an extensive failure in the spinning business, which took place at the latter end of last week, and has caused a good deal of regret and appre hension. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET J UN E 14.—There h as been another dull and listl ess market, with very little busi ness transacted, and that little at ruinous prices to the ma nufacturer. The wool market has been upon a par with the piece market. HUDDERSFIELD, JUNE 15.—This market was rather more animated than for several weeks past. Buyers were more numerons, who purchased rather extensively ; but prices have not improved. In wools there was a little more de mand, and prices rather firmer. The warehouses exhibit a slight improvement ; and some large American houses very brisk. Still, trade may be considered as being at a ruinous ebb. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On the evening of Satur day last, a fatal accid en t occurre d a t Inverness, which has deprived the town of one of its most worthy and respected tradesmen, and inflicted upon another an injury from which he will not speedily recover. A new three-story-house has lately been in course of erection at the upper end of Cas tle-street. The mason -work is finished ; and, on the even ing in question, Mr. Gordon, mason, and Mr. Macphail, carpenter, ascended to the top of the building, to survey the preparations for the roof. The plank on which they stood had, it appears, been partly sawn through, and incautiously used for the scaffolding. They had no sooner walked on to it than the plank gave way, and both were precipitated from a height of thirty feet. Mr. Macphail fell on his back and was so severely fractured and bruised, that he died in about four hours. Mr. Gordon alighted on his feet, but the knee joint of one of his legs was dislocated. A third party, Nicol Ferguson, who had also ascended to the top of the building, on seeing the others fall, got hold of a beam, to which he clung, and was saved.—Scottish Standard.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 15. We had a very dull market for all descriptions of grain to-day, whicn sold dull at Friday's rates. Oats sold at a reduction of 6cl per barrel. Oatmeal also sold dull at the reduction of last week. Bakers' Flour moves off slowly at our quotations, and inferiors and thirds met a decline of tid per cwt. on the former, and is on the latter. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 14. From the whole of our grazing districts the arrival of beasts up to our market to-day was on the increase, owing to which, and the moderate attendance of country buyers, the Becf trade ruled heavy, and in order to effect a clearance, a decline of from 2d to 4d per Sibs was submitted to in the currencies. Although we were on the whole heavily supplied with Sheep, the sale for them was tolerably steady, at the currencies noted on this day se'nnight. The primest old Downs produced ss. Lambs were in good supply, and havy de mand, at a decline of 2d to 4d per Sibs. The Calves a limited amount of business was passing, at drooping rates. Pigs moved off slowly, at their quotations. HULL CORN MARKET, JUNE 1.5 During the past week the weather has been cold and ungenial, which has checked the rapid progress vegetation was previously making. This circumstance, added to the general advance in prices, both in Mark-lane, and the West of Yorkshire and the Lan cashire markets, has caused more demand here for bonded Wheat, and several parcels have changed hands at an advance of fully is qer qr., while some holders, anticipating a further advance, are demanding higher prices than buyers are at present inclined to give. The import from abroad is again only moderate, and all landing under bond. In rapeseed nothing. Linseed is in more demand, and firm at the quotations. Both Rape and Linseed cakes are in demand, the above quoted prices fully paid. Beans continue scarce, and a further advance of as per ton is paid on them. There are but few buyers down to this day's market; . but having only a very limited show of Wheat from the farmers, and a good demand from the millers, they paid an advance of Is to 2s per qr. on last week's currency ; there is very little' free foreign Wheat offering, and earcely ony of our growth left in granery here. On the sales made, fully Is per qr. more money is paid, but they are limited. Beans are dull. Oats fully support late prices. Nothing passing in Barley beyond an occasional sale for grinding. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 15. The business in our Cotton market to-day has only been mode rate ; the total sales not exceeding 2500 bags, all to the trade, except 200 bags Americans purchased for exportation. Prices are without any perceivable alteration. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 16. We have to report a fair demand for Cotton today from the trade, which has had the effect of causing the market to assume a more healthy appearanee than it has exhibited for some week's past ; the sales to-day amount to 3600 bales, all to the trade, except 100 vales Americans taken for exportation. Prices are very steady at the quotations of Friday last. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 17. We have again to notice a further improvement in the demand fur Cotton; the attendance of the trade in the market to-day hav ing been very good, and the business transacted is also to a very fair extent--the sales amounting to fully 4000 bales. Prices remain very firm, and are without change from yesterday. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 17. There is a very general belief that the conservatives will be shortly in power. The bare idea has created an extraordinary degree of confidence among holders of Butter, and indeed generally in the Provision trade. We notice no desire to accept of lower prices for Butter bearing a respectable brand ; and heavy and good Beef and Pork, steadily support our last quotations. Bacon is in demand, and 57s for prime meat is to be had. We understand that a few hundred barrels of American Beef have been returned to t h States ; the quality and colour rendering it unsaleable in th country. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 15. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6- Son.) Since this day week the imports of Wheat from foreign ports have again been pretty considerable, but of this article and of all other Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland and Coastways, they have been trivial; the scarcity of fine fresh Wheat, and Flour has caused a little improvement in the demand at an an advance of 2d to 3d per 701 b on the former, and of is to Is 6d per barrel and per sack on the the latter; but for all other articles sales have been very limited'at about last quotations. The only alteration in the duties since Friday last is an increase of Is 6d per qr. on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat ; a cargo of Vismar and another of Odessa Wheat are reported to have changed hands, in bond, the former at about 6s 2d, the latter at about 5s per 70 lb, and a cargo of fine fresh Wheat just arrived from Odessa has been sold, duty paid, at about 8s 8d per 70 lb. prime parcels of Flour have also found buyers, in bond, at 22s 6d to 23s per barrel; in all other articles, in bond, there has been very little done. The weather for some weeks past has been too cold and dry for the crops of Grain and the pastures, but favourable for securing the hay harvest, now generally commencing, At this day's market we haye had a very good attendance of town and country millers and dealers, who bought more freely of Wheat and Flour at the above-named advance, and of other articles also to a limited extent at about our last quotations.

On the 2nd November, 1840, on board the Margaret, on his pas - sage from Callao to Mazatlan, JOHN, youngest son of the late R. YEOWA RD, Esq., of this town, in the 25th year of his age, deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. On the 29th ultimo, at his residence, in Holyhead, Commander JAMES DUNCAN, R.N., aged 69 years. The lamented deceased was father of Mr. C. R. R. Duncan, formerly of the "Liverpool," now of the " Britannia," Mail Steam Ship, and who has frequently so honourably distinguished himself, in the preservation of human 1 fe. He entered the service at an early age, and was present at the capture of the Cape of Gocd Hope in 1795. In 1798, he was on board the " Culloden." at the Nile, and on that vessel grounding was sent on board the " Mutine" brig. In 180 he was master's mate of the " Amazon" frigate, Capt. Rion. at the tattle of Copenhagen. In ISM he was Lieutenant of the " Cxsar," 84, one of the squadron under the command of Sir It. Strachan, which engaged and cap tured the four French line of battle ships, that had escaped from the battle of Trafalgar, under the command of Rear-Admiral Dumanoir. He subsequently served in command of the " Idas" cutter in the expedition to Walcheren, and had the honor of en gaging and silencing a redoubt on that island. During the French and American wars he was constantly employed, and was engaged in many encounters with the enemy both at sea and on shore. In 1825 lie was appointed to the command of a Post-office Packet on the Holyhead station, which he retained until 1838, when his increasing infirmaties compelled him to retire with the rank of Commander. On the loth instant, the Rev. THEOPHILUS LESSEY, aged 54, and in the thirty-third year of his ministry. lie was a minister of great talents, and his ministry was exceedingly popular and very useful. He was chosen President of the Conferrence in the Centenary year; and, during the time the Conference held their meetings in Liverpool, he performed the duties of his distinguished office with great ability. He had scarcely entered upon hls labours in the Sixth London Circuit, to which he was appointed, when his health suddenly failed, and, except in a very few instances, for nearly two years, he was unable to preach or perform any public ministerial service. He returned to his residence in Albany-street, Regent's -park, from the Isle of Wight, three weeks ago, his health worse than it had been through the winter, and with the impression that he was returning home to die. But he anticipated death with Christian calmness, and even with desire, for he felt assured of his interest with his Saviour; and he expressed a wish to be snored pro tracted suffering, an d t o b e f avoured with a sudden deat h . Hi s n e . desire was gra n t e d . A l arge blood-vessel in the lungs gave way, and, in thr ee or f our minutes he breathed his last.
