The following is an extract from a sermon preached by the Rev. Henry Melville, in accordance with the taneen's letter for the collection of money for the distressed operatives in the manufacturing districts. Mr. Melville's name will at once be a recommendation of the extract ; but its sound merit will perhaps be the more fully appreciated when we say it was quoted for condemnation by Mr. Milner Gibson in his " distress" speech in the House of Commons; and the Morning Chronicle has in consequence of it pronounced Mr. Melville to be "a great pest in the country." The sen timents of Mr. Melville are similar to those we have so often put forward, but what infinitely greater . importance do they assume when clothed in his glowing and earnest language : " It may be allowed even to the preacher to express a deep and painful conviction; that the tendency which of late years has been so largely exhibited in this country—the ten dency to the exchanging an agricultural for a manufacturing population—to the gathering the people into dense masses, for which it were almost hopeless to attempt providing means of Christian instruction (even if the frightful demands upon strengtt and upon time allowed of their being used, suppo sing them provided) — th at this tendency is among the most fatal that was ever 'encou ra g ed, a nd is but likely to continue working out increased and even irremediable disaster. The cry . has been that England ought to be the workshop of the worril;rlll44 4n the "dream of avarice, which for once bor rowed siameTthingolthe imagery of the poet, all nations have been r k efrted as crowding to our shores, entreating that we asasqltdielfithe them, and eagerly proffering the rich pro duct3o4-theirlieldi in exchange for what we could dig from our Mines and throw off from our looms. We left out from our showy calculation that bone and muscle belong to other people as well as to ns ; that industry and ingenuity, how ever they may distinguish the English, are not monopolised by them ; that, in manufacturing for the world, we might perlutifs'Vabh the world to manufacture for itself; and that it was at least possible that, if other countries saw us driving so ad's - Mita - aeons a trade, they might think of their own re sources, and attempt competition. And the fearful evil of being thus once engaged in a struggle with the world—(and a struggle there no* is; if not the struggle of army against army, and fleet againstfleet, as when we tood almost single handed, and in a glorious, because a righteous cause, chal lenged Europe to the combat, yet there is the struggle of mac hine against machine, toil agai ns t t o il, f ac tory a gainst factory)—the evil, we say, of being once engaged in a struggle such as this—it is that human beings have to be more and more crowded together, and more and more tasked." " Why, as a clergyman, would I shrink from seeing in this country the abolition of all corn-laws ? Because lam a po litical partisan ? God forbid that a clergyman should ever be such. Because I wish to uphold the interests of one parti cular class ? God forbid that a clergyman should ever iden tify himself with any class. But I cannot hide from myself that whatever tended still more to drain the people from the fields, tied crowd them into factories—whatever went to en courage the plan of making England the workshop of the world, - would but increase the difficulty of getting any moral hold en a swarming population. And this is what a Christian should deprecate. Parties may jostle for place ; but the measures which a Christian should oppose are those which, whatever their apparent political expediency, menace injury to the riirtiorial piety ; the measures which he should further are thofteetvhich; however they may seem to threaten our greatness as a kingdom, tend to the advancing the cause of Christ and the diffusing his gospel." lI EMPTB- OF RELIGIOUS AND BENEVOLENT IIiI4AII,TUTIONS FOR Ty;; PAST YEAR. - s. d.

(From the Shipping Gazette.) At a very early hour on Thursday morning the metropolis was visited by a tremendo us s t orm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain and hail, which continued with scarcely any intermission till six o'clock. The flashes of lightning were exceedingly vivid, and several of them were followed by terrific peals of thunder resembling the report of a volley of artillery. One of the loudest was at the com mencement, between twelve and one o'clock, which came from S.S.E., and did considerable damage at Vauxhall and Newington. The electric fluid struck a chimney stack on a small house situate at the corner of Clarence-place and Nor folk-street, Vauxhall ; it penetrated through the roof, carry ing with it a great portion of brick-work, destroying the frame-work of a closet in the room beneath, breaking away a great portion of the ceiling, cracking the walls of the chimney, smashing every square of glass in the window, destroying the frame, shivering part of the wood-work of the bedstead, wherein lay three young children, but who were providentially uninjured. After doing this damage the lightning found its way between the joints of the hearth stone into the lower room, where Mr. and Mrs. Moss, the father and mother, were lying in bed with two other children, who also as miraculously escaped injury, notwith standing the mantlepiece was shivered to atoms, portions of which were tossed on to bed, the fire-irons and other articles driven across the room with great violence, as though propelled by fire-arms, the whole of the crockery and glass destroyed, the frames partly torn off some pictures and a looking-glass, and in fact almost every article of furniture broken or damaged, while the room was strewed with soot and pieces of brick, mortar, and plaster. The fluid, after making a complete circuit of the apartment, is supposed to have passed out by the window, as all the squares of glass were broken, the sash much damaged, and the window shutter blown from its hinges into the street. As soon as the poor creatures had partly recovered from their alarm, having ascertained they were all unhurt, Mrs. Moss ran out and called some of the neighbours, several of whom came, but fortunately were only require'd to console and assist in re moving the children from the mass of rubbish with which they were surrounded. Police constable L 22, who was on duty near the house at the time, describes the appearance as awful, adding that the roofs of the above and several adjoin ing houses appeared on fire, and that the shock drove him violently against the wall, and singed his right hand. The above family are wholly supported by the father, a hawker of vegetables, and the loss by this calamity will be severely felt. The house is so much shattered that it appears unsafe for the inmates to remain in it. In addition to the above, and about the same time, a thun derbolt, probably the_ same, penetrated the clock turret of the chapel at the Fishmongers Almshouses, near the Ele phant and Castle, Newington, and after melting and rending the greater part of the works is the clock, so as wholly to s uspend the movement, which_is fully indicated by the hands having remained stationary since twenty-five minutes past twelve ; thence the electric fluid broke through and damaged the roof, causing the northern wall of the tower to bulge, and present a very dangerous appearance, and passing out of the upper part of the tine old Gothic window, at the east end of the chapel, smashed several panes of glass, and damaged the stone frame-work ; it then proceeded along the lead which covers the cornice of the adjoining low buildings occupied by some of the inmates, and descended through the interior of a leaden rain water pipe, perforating an orifice near the lower part of about three inches in diameter, whence it proceeded into a cask used to catch the rain water which descends from the roof, and, after splintering several of the staves, drove out the metal tap at the bottom, tearing away a large piece of stave with it ; and, finally, appearing to have buried itself beneath a quantity of garden pots, seval of which, with the plants therein, are broken and damaged. The buildings, which are the property of the Hon. F. Thynne, are insured in the Union ; the contents in the West minster. The houses of Mr. Howell, 1, Vincent-square, and of Mr. Cooper, No. 2, next door, were set on fire by lightning at six o'clock on Thursday morning, but which was extinguished through the joint exertions of the firemen connected with the Fire Brigade and West of England, and the parties at tending with the parish engine. The only damage done to the buildings was a partial destruction of a chimney stack and the scorching of the paint and paper. A great portion of the furniture was much injured by the fire and removal. DREADFUL STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSIONS. [We gave in our last a brief statement of two steam-boat explosions, which we gathered from the papers brought by the Caledonia. We now subjoin more full particulars of those melancholy occurrences.] EXPLOSION ON BOARD THE EDNA. The following particulars are from the St. Louis Bulletin and Republican of the 4th instant. The Edna reached the mouth of the Missouri river about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning, and landed on the outside of the steam-boat latan, which was lying at the mouth. At daylight both boats made preparations to start, but the Edna lay in such a position that it was difficult for the latan to get away from the shore. After waiting nearly or quite half an hour, the latan, with some difficulty, got away and proceeded onward. The Edna shoved off immediately afterward, and the bow was about 100 feet from the shore when both flues of her larboard boiler collapsed, scalding 63 persons, and blowing overboard some two or three. The flues collapsed, one at the forward and the other at the after end of the boiler, sweeping the decks fore and aft. The latan immediately dropped back to the Edna and towed her to the Illinois shore, when the Annawan took her in tow, and the latan came to the city with 26 of the wounded in the cabin. The Edna had been working her engine out of gear, full half an hour pre vious to shipping her wheels, and it had not been stopped more than ten minutes at the outside, when the accident happened. The conclusion is irresistable that the water was obstructed in the supply-pipe, or that the force-pump was out of order, so that the boilers became short of water. Cap tain Eaton states that he is fully of opinion that the steam was not unnecessarily high, as he heard it escape from the safety-valve, and it did not make that appalling noise which invariably attends the escape of high steam. Captain Eaton is disposed to think that the accident is mainly attributable to the unfitness of the iron of which the flues were made. He says that an engineer, a good judge of the quality of iron, had given it as his opinion that the iron was much too brittle for flues. As the latan and Edna were lying together, and both bound up the river, it might be supposed that the accident resulted from a desire on the part of the Edna to beat the latan up. Captain Eaton informs us that it was the express instructions of the captain of the Edna not to race with the latan, and for that purpose suffered the latan to go out ahead of her—and as the latan was light, or in good running trim, and the Edna heavily loaded, it is not to be supposed that the Edna would have selected a time for a trial of speed when she laboured under such disadvantages. Whatever blame (if it was the result of carelessness) is to be attached to this unfortunate disaster should be attributable, in our opinion, to the engineer on duty—who, in neglecting to try the guage-cocks, was solely culpable. He h as paid the forfeit of his life for his neglect, if it was an act of care lessness. P.S. 11 o'clock, P.M.—We understand that 33 of the scalded have since died. The unfortunate sufferers by this accident were chiefly German emigrants ; a few of the crew of the Ed9a were scalded, among them the second engineer, who is badly wounded ; many jumped overboard, and from the confusion and distress which prevailed yesterday, it is difficult , yet to IN tell how many were lost, or who they were. one of the cabin passengers were injured. The number ascertained to be badly scalded were 36 men, 13 women, and 14 cluid!en— one boy killed. It is the opinion of some of the physicians that a majority of them will die. They were chiefly from near Dusseldorf, on the Rhine, and what renders their case one of peculiar hardship is, that this accident, so fatal and serious to all, should have occurred when they had braved the hour of separation from their friends and kindred, passed the ocean and its storms, and were upon the last boat, within about 150 miles of their new homes. THE CANADA DISASTER. (From the Montreal Herald of Tuesday.) We have little to add to our yesterday's account of the sad disaster on the lake above Lachine. The coroner empan nelled a jury yesterday forenoon, when a full investigation of every matter connected with the accident took place. The result was, that a verdict was returned of "accidental death," and no blame was attached to the proprietors or crew of the unfortunate vessel. We subjoin the portion of the evidence which was material. Several passengers were examined, but nothing was elicited from them beyond the fact of the sobriety of the captain and crew. Mr. Henry Roebuck, of Coteau du Lac, who has an intimate experience in lake navigation, bore testimony to the soundness of the Shamrock, and the good working of her engine, so far as an unprofessional per son like himself could judge. Thomas Halliman, captain of the steamer Shamrock, being duly sworn, saith,—l have been captain of the Shamrock since the 9th of June. She left Lachine between 6 and 7 o'clock on Saturday morning last, with three barges in tow, one of which was laden, and the other two were empty. The wind blew freshly. Two of the barges were alongside of the steamer, and the third behind. We were in the habit of having more barges in tow than three, and we have had as many as six. The crew consisted of myself, four sailors, two engineers, two firemen, and two pilots. There was no more than the usual quantity of steam on the engine, which is estimated by two weights which rise when the steam escapes. I had not left the deck until within ten or fifteen minutes before the accident took place, when I went to the cabin. I saw the boiler tried about ten minutes before the acci dent occurred. The first intimation I had of it was the breaking of the skylight window and the rushing in of the water. I rushed on deck and saw the barge with the pas sengers full of water, and I then assisted so far as I could in saving the passengers. The Shamrock was a new boat, built in Upper Canada, and the engine was in good order to the best of my belief. The boiler leaked a little when the steam was off, but not to any extent. The engine was new, and I never heard that it was condemned. It was built at Niagara, and the leaking of the boiler in no way affected its safety. lam of opinion that the bursting of the boiler was the cause of the accident. The engine was on the high pres sure principle, and was of 32-horse power. The first engi neer was on the watch at the time the accident occurred. He is a sober man, and I have never seen him intoxicated, but have found him very attentive and careful about his business. I certainly cannot attach the imputation of negligence to any person on board. I cannot account for the bursting of the boiler. I saved only my vest, shirt, and trousers, which I happened to have on, and could not preserve even my shoes and stockings. The engineer was always at his post to obey the bells. Thomas B. Benedict, the engineer, gave a similar testi mony. He had a young man under him, whom he was in structing as an engineer, but he never intrusted him to any extent with the working of the engine. On the first trip which the boat made , he perceived a defect in the guide of the safety valve lever, which he remedied. About two mi nutes before the accident took place, he examined the boiler and found the water to be above the third cock, at which time the engine was working satisfactorily. He was stand ing near the cylinder when the accident took place, with his back toward the boiler. When the ex p losion took place he turned round, and saw smoke and fragments of the vessel, which began to settle at the bows, whereupon he rushed to the promenade deck. He has been an engineer for four years. and considered that the engine of the Shamrock was a good one. It was purely accidental, in his opinion. Ac cording to the directions of the builders of the engine, he was allowed to carry 851bs. of steam, and at the period of the accident there was not more than 701bs. of steam.

We take the following abstract of the first report of the Commissioners for inquiry into the collection and inanage'- inent of the revenue from the Albion of yesterday. It re lates exclusively to the Liverpool Customs !louse : DAY PAY OF TIDE-WAITERS, WEIGHTS, AND LOCKERS. The Commissioners suggest a slight alteration in the mode of paying the officers above-named. At present they have a certain proportion of fixed salary and of pay for the days on which they are employed. The object of this arrangement is to provide a check on idleness, and on the disposition to yield to trifling ailments. As the day pay now forms a larger portion of the annual emolument than the fixed salary, the Commissioners were of opinion that some hardships are in flicted on the officers in cases of trifling indisposition. They recommend the reduction of the day pay of the lockers and tide-waiters from 3s. per day to 2s. Gd. per day, and of the weighers from 2s. to ls. 6d., giving them a commensurate increase of their fixed salaries. IN-DOOR DEPARTMENT : ATTENDANCE OF CLERKS. The Commissioners, after expressing their opinion that the extension of the attendance of the clerks from three to four o'clock in the afternoon was properly made, state their belief, that employment may be found for the present num ber of clerks, so that, by proper management and precaution, the employment of supernumerary clerks need never be re sorted to. The attendance book. which is left on a desk in the long-room, is not, at present, a practical check on the too early departure of the clerks, and they suggest that the messenger should carry it round in the afternoon, at the pro per hour, as he does in the morning. The Commissioners also remark, that the general discipline of the establishment would be improved, if the junior clerks of each branch of it were placed more directly under the control of their respec tive senior clerks, who should be deemed responsible for their due attendance and for the proper execution of their duties. The Collector concurs with them in this view. " The magnitude of the Custom-house." say the Commis sioners, " is justly put forward as one of the motives for this proposition, for it is assuredly of such a size as to make the personal superintendence of the Collector much less easy than if, in the construction of the building, adaptation to what was required rather than to magnificence in appearance had been more attentively considered." The Commissioners conclude this part of the subject as follows :—" We must now call your lordship's attention to the salary and emoluments of the present collector ; but, in so doing, we neither desire to interfere with his enjoyment of them, nor to throw any slur upon a most valuable public officer. But we do wish to record our opinion, that the total sum (2,900 per annum) which he receives, exceeds the proper amount of remuneration for any collector who may ' be hereafter appointed." THE COLLECTOR. The Commissioners give a short history of this office from the period immediately antecedent to Mr. Arnaud's appoint ment, showing the mode in which his present emoluments accrue. His predecessors received, from various sources, between £5,000 and £6,000 per annum. The office was put on a new footing, and a salary of £1,200 per annum annexed to it, Mr. Arnaud being likewise appointed collector of light dues, for which he was guaranteed £l,OOO per annum, making an official income of £2,200, which has, by increase of the light dues collectiJus, amounted to £2,000 per annum. As the case is not to be immediately decided upon, the Com missioners only express their opinions generally. INTERVIEWS WITS! DEPUTATIONS. The Commissioners next advert to interviews which they had with the deputations from the commercial bodies of this port, proceeding seriatim through their principal proposi tions. PAYMENT OF LANDING-WAITERS ' AND WEIGHERS' FEES. The Commissioners set out by stating the practice hitherto. The system of paying landing-waiters, partly by fees on work done, was introduced in 1818, and continued till 1829. In 1829 the landing-waiters were divided into classes, receiving salaries of £3OO, £250, £2OO, and £l5O per annum. The total number in the establishment is 110. The Com missioners repeat the arguments urged by the merchants in favour of the fee system, and those brought forward against it. They then state their own views, with their conclusion that it would be advisable to adopt it. INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF LANDING SURVEYORS AND LANDING WAITERS. With the demand for an augmentation of Landing Sur veyors, the Commissioners do not recommend compliance. The merchants required facilities equal to those enjoyed in London for taking tares, &c., under the direction of the Surveyors, but the Commissioners urge the different circum stances of the two ports, and express their opinion, that the revenue should not be subjected to the cost of supplying de ficiencies in the arrangements of the docks and warehouses at this port. " When," say they, "the new docks which are in contemplation, shall be perfected, and in full use, it is not unlikely that an increase of this class of officers, on , whose vigilence and activity so much depen d s , ma y be 1 re quisite; but, at present, we cannot give our sanction to the proposed augmentation of the present numbers. Nor are we prepared to encourage the request made for an additional number of Landing Waiters. We have little doubt that our suggestion respecting the future mode of their conducting the landing business will fully obviate the necessity of such incsease, and at the same time afford the merchants that increased facility and despatch which they so anxiously and so naturally desire." HOURS OF WORK IN THE OUT-DOOR DEPARTMENT. The Commissioners recommend a longer time of real work by the officers in the out-door department, though not to the extent demanded. They advise that the officers should reach the dock where their attendance is necessary, so as to enter their names in a book at the Landing Surveyor's office at such dock, at eight o'clock in summer, and half-past eieht in winter, the book to be closed at a given time and regularly submitted to the Inspector-General. The Commissioners approve of the custom of allowing officers to work at extra hours on special application setting forth sufficient reasons. THE EXPEDIENCY OF EMPLOYING ONE SET OF PORTERS ON THE QUAYS AND WAREHOUSES. The Commissioners are alive to the advantages which would result from a system of this description; assimilating the practice to that of the port of London, " but," say they, " it must not be forgotten, that there is this important dis• tinction between the circumstances of the two ports ; for, in London, the several docks and the warehouses, for the most part, are within the same walls, belong to the same proprie tors, and are under their management ; whereas, at Liverpool, the docks are distinct from the warehouses, and the ware houses are distinct from each other, and belong to an infinite number of proprietors. It would be highly inexpedient to interfere, by parliamentary enactment, with the freedom of all parties to carry on their trade in such manner as they themselves choose. We would leave the adoption of the change to the slow and gradual, but, we trust, the growing conviction in the merchants of Liverpool, that such an alteration is not merely desirable, but that it can be beat and most justly effected by their own efforts and by their indi vidual and private arrangements." BONDING COTTON WOOL. The proposition originally submitted on this subject was, " that the duty on cotton wool should be paid invariably on its import, and that the law permitting the importer to enter it in bond should be repealed ; and in Liverpool, in cases of export of cotton, debentures for the amount of the duty originally paid should be granted, available only for payment of the duties." The principal points of this proposition the Commissioners declined to entertain, for a variety of reasons given in the report. The alteration which they suggest, and which they recommend should be submitted to parliament for legislative sanction, is restricted to the permission that duty may be paid on cotton wool on its import, and that a drawback of the duty so paid should be allowed on its ex portatian in the original packages. They submit the objec tions offered against this proposition by the Commissioners of Customs, with their own replies thereunto, and their reasons for making the recommendation. AVERAGE WEIGHTS. _ . The next relief from unnecessary delay is proposed to be effected by extending to goods of a certain character, and which are contained in somewhat similar packages, of like weight and dimensions, the privilege of taking an account of such packages, weighing 'an indefinite number of them, and, by striking an average of such weight, calculating the gross quantity, and the duty to which they shall be liable, but leaving to the officer or the merchant the option of weighing every package as at present. Either on account of the in equality of the size and weight of the nackages in which the goods are imported, or on account of the amount of duty, they feel obliged to restrict the proposed privilege to the fol lowing articles at present, subject, however, to any extension which experience may point out as desirable for the importer without risk to the revenue. The following articles which they suggest for this experiment are :—Quicksilver, duty ld. per lb. ; beef, (salted,) 12s. per cwt. ; pork, (salted,) ditto ; sheep's wool, ld. per lb. it of Is. value, if less ld. ; saf flower, ls. per cwt. ; turpentine, 4s. 4d., and upwards ; flour, in barrels; cotton, from East Indies, 4d. per cwt.; rough rice, varies from 2s. 6d. to Id. ; pot and pearl ashes, 6s. the cwt. ; jute, Id. per cwt. The Baltic and other sorts of hemp are brought in two unequal packages to justify the attempt to estimate them by an average. VOUCHERS FOR PAYMENT OF DUTIES. Touching the application from the merchants on this sub ject, the Commissioners are of opinion, that the proposed arrangement should be carried into effect, but without the charge of one penny payable on each of the documents. They conceive that the system would diminish fraud, ensure regularity, and be beneficial to the revenue. JERQUER TO REPORT OVERPAYMENTS. The commissioners suggest, that, when an overpayment by a merchant be discoveied, he should have regular intima tion made to him to that effect by the Jerouer, in the same manner in which the mistake is now signified to a party who has underpaid the dutie. SURETIES ON WAREHOUSING GOODS. In reference to the applications to alter the present regu lation of requiring two sureties to join the importer of goods in bond for import duties on warehousing goods, in cases where their value greatly exceeds the duty the commissioners state their belief, that it is advisable to continue the practice of requiring some proper person to enter into a bond for this purpose, in addition to the party entering the goods; but they recommend, ;hat one only, instead of two sureties, shall be in future required, together with the importer of goods to enter into bond for the eventual payment of duty in all cases of warehousing goods in bond. INSPECTOR-GENERAL. Complaints have been made by the Liverpool merchants of the frequent changes which have taken place of the per son exercising the functions of Inspector-General of the out door department of this port. The Commissioners are of opinion, that it is for the interest of the merchants, as well as for the interest of the revenue, that, in the course of a certain period, an officer, selected from the most experienced of the higher classes of officers in the port of London, should be appointed to this situation, and that uniformity in practice is likely to be thus insured, and improvements in the conduct of the service, if any arise in London, will he thus communicated in the best manner to the department at Liverpool. They do not, however, advocate a continuance of such frequent changes in the office as have, from the death of an Inspector-General and this advancement of another, taken place in the last few years. In the Appendix the Commissioners laid before the Lords of the Treasury the complaints made by the merchants of this port regarding several matters of minor importance touching such regulations as appear to interfere unfavourably with the trade of the port. Among these subjects are the discretionary powers of the Collector and Comptroller to amend entries, which the Commissioners think, may, to a certain extent, be enlarged, the taking of tares, the discharge of timber ships, and the licensing of ships THE NEW COINAGE.—It was stated in the House of Commons on Monday, that 337,120 new sovereigns, 419,000 o t :d s ea t ol h l feB.o , tP h hr a ei d half-sovereigns, 86,403 half-crowns, and 334 ,00,3 shilling s th t e o l e f s s oe regret, government, thatthe voted been lately issu rne e eq d vu . eer GRANT TO NIAYNOOTII.--Though we are not at Com mons,secl, night the usual sum of nearly . nine thousand pounds to assist r w we at the ust Maynooth College in training up and sending forth shoals of men to practise and teach the popish idolitry, and other wise wise to oppose the ancient and original .

This is the plain and true state of the case ; and we regret that no member of the House of Commons viewed the u matter in this light, and opposed the grant on these gronds.— Church Intelliyencer. CHEAP TRIP TO LONDON AND BACK, BY RAILWAY. For some weeks past, the announcement, by Messrs. Franklin and Ashcroft, of a trip from this town to " the great city" and back, for twenty-eight shillings,—affording passengers a stay of three days to visit the " lions" of the latter,—has excited considerable interest in the public mind ; and, notwithstanding the circulation of numerous unfounded reports within the last fortnight, to the effect that the special train would not start on the day appointed, and that some advantage would be taken of those who had availed themselves of the liberal offer, by purchasing tickets, the speculation will doubtless be profitable to the " contractors," and the " out " most agreeable to the journeying parties. By Friday morning, the whole, or nearly the whole, of the dispo sable tickets were sold. To avoid the inconvenience of receiving and " packing" so large a concourse of persons at the Lime-street terminus of the line, and passing them through the tunnel under the eastern part of the town, it was resolved that the trains should proceed from the Edge hill station ; and on Saturday, and even Sunday, many of the intended passengers, in anticipation of the coming treat, sur veyed the ground at that suburb; or, as was remarked in other words " the running horses surveyed the starting post." It was at first announced, that the train would leave Edge hill at half-past six in the morning, but it was afterwards decided, for greater convenience, that it should be divided — the first part to leave at that hour, and the second at half past seven ; and this new arrangement was announced by placards and advertisements, published on Saturday. Some delay, however, perhaps unavoidable, took place before all was ready for the "grand movement." Yesterday being the appointed day, some impatient stragglers were observed wending their way, each with a small quantity of a luggage, to the point of departure ; and, as the stated time approached the throng continued to increase, including a great number of spectators. The whole congregated on and near the roads, on each side the railway, opposite Mr. Vidler's hotel, at the top of the tunnel, and leading to the two entrance gates ; and these long inclined , planes, as well as the immediate lanes and fields, soon pre sented a dense mass of persons of both sexes, and of the several grades, from the wealthy and fashionably-clad lady and gentleman (who were not above accepting of a cheap ride) to the less showy hut neatly-attired tradesman and artisan. There was also a considerable number of young persons. The venders of g i ng erbread and ginger-beer, fruit, newspapers, and penny trash, were also rife, and the scene not a little resembled the neighbourhood of the grand stand at the races. Many of those who arrived early partook of coffee, &c., at the hotel, but the greater part sauntered about, or stood by their portmanteaux , boxes, baskets, or bundles. An announcement (welcome to a considerable number) was exhibited at various parts of the ground, to the effect that a few seats in first-class carriages might be secured, by the pay ment of 10s. additional ; and printed notices for the guidance of passengers on the route, so as to secure their comfort and safety, were posted and distributed. At six o'clock, a small portion of the expectant crowd were admitted by one of the gates; and, to prevent con fusion, others obtained entrance from time to time. Several police inspectors and officers were present; yet, the crush at the north gate was for some time so great, as the stated hour drew near—many of the portion being apprehensive that they would be left behind—that it was feared some accident might take place. Happily, however, no one was hurt, though not a fow were subjected to the inconvenience of a desperate squeeze. About half-past six, the first train of carriages was brought up, and was shortly afterwards headed by two powerful new engines, the " Sunbeam " and the " Tartarus," both of which were decorated with small flags, including a royal standard. The impatience to obtain places was very great, and parties who wished to ride together were some time in finding all their friends, and accommodating themselves respectively in the same machine. Luggage was knocked about and stowed with great celerity ; and, what with the shaking of hands and the " good byes" of spectators, the scene was one of much interest and animation, the greatest good humour prevailing throughout. A great part of the train, from its great length, was backed down the branch line leading to the tunnel to Wapping, where mos t of the parties took their seats. All being at length ready, the whole moved off, at first slowly, at seven minutes before seven o'clock, the delay of twenty minutes being apparently unavoidable. Amongst those congregated at the station to witness " the departure," we observed a great number of gentlemen belonging to the town, and including several of the directors. The number of carriages in this first train was twenty-two, namely, twenty second-class of the Manchester and Liver pool Company, and two first-class carriages in the rear. The whole of them were filled, and as each carries (in its three divisions) twenty-four persons, the number of passen gers, in all, was 528. As the engines increased in speed, they . were soon lost to sight amongst the trees. The walls, fencing the fields, and the banks on both sides the railway, for upwards of a quarter of a mile in length to the eastward, were lined with spectators, and several hundreds were also assembled at the crossing in Wavertree-lane. The second train came up about a quarter past seven o'clock—the remainder of the passengers who were outside the gates having all been previously admitted into the yard. These trains consisted of thirty-two carriages, including five of the first-class description. All the second-class carriages in this train, with the exception of two or three, were those of the Grand Junction Company, which are more close and commodious than the same class (in the first train) of the Manchester and Liverpool Company, so that the parties who Iwere delayed an hour beyond those in the first train, though losers of a short space of time, would not be losers of comfort. We observed several of these carriages (apparently four or five) that were either empty or had not their complement, as they had to take up some passengers a short distance from the town. Reckoning, therefore, that they were .all filled, the train would take 768 persons, which, with the 528 by the first train, gives an aggregate of 1296 in all. The train started at seventeen minutes before eight o'clock, drawn by the engines " Tantalus" and " Lynx ;" the last, one of the oldest but best engines on the line. It moved off in good style, amidst the acclamations of those present. It was expected that these trains would be joined at Park side by additional carriages from Manchester, and others from Preston (by the North Union), containing about 200 passengers from each place, availing themselves of the " cheap trip,"—thus increasing the whole number proceeding from this county to the metropolis to about 1,700. The pre cise number is not yet known at the Grand Junction Com pany's Office, Mr. Ashcroft, the contractor, not having had time to make up his books prior to his accompanying the last train ; but the statement given will, we doubtnot, be found which affords a ra to be pretty near the truth. The trip , tional recreation to those in moderate circumstances, appears to be highly popular; and a second will, we have reason to believe, be projected before the end of the autumn. That the speculation will be a profitable one to the parties who projected it, as well as to the railway proprietors, we enter tain no doubt. The difference in price will be fully made up by the great number of passengers, and the proportionately small additional steam-power required. What profit will accrue to the contractors we know not, as the price charged by the railway directors has not transpired, nor are we in. formed of the subsidiary expenses. Some conjecture may be formed from the fact that the whole receipts, at 28s. a head, amount to £2,380. The present cost of a seat hence to London, by a second class train, is £1 18s, or X 3 16s. there andso that less than one-half will clear the trip. Seeing, a therefore, that many parties would go to London, who never went before, were the price reduced, it may, we think, be fairly inferred, that were the Railway Company materially to reduce their fares, the increased travelling on the line would, in all pro bability, produce a greater income to the proprietors than that at present realised. This is a question certainly worthy of the grave consideration of the directors, who have them selves shown, by their contract for the present trip, that a large reduction may be made. The trains would stop at Crewe, and again at the Ro a d s Station, at which latter place refreshments w ere to be p rovi ded We heard some few parties, who were about to proceed with the trains, complaining of the delay and the arrange ments; but we must in justice say, that, considering the large number of persons to be accommodated in so short a time, we do not think these complaints were well founded ; and we may add that the railway officers appeared through out to be as anxious to serve every one present as they are on every other occasion.

The continuance of fine weather, large arrivals of foreign and colonial Wheat and Flour, and favourable reports of the crops in all parts of the kingdom, have had their uatural effect upon the trade, which, throughout the week, has been much depressed; no sale beyond what was induced by the urgent necessities of pur chasers being practicable in any article, unless great reductions in prices were submitted to. At our market this morning, Wheats of all qualities are offered 4d to 6d per bushel lower than on this day week, and, though little business is done, these is not quite so much anxiety to effect sales as was evinced during last and the early part of this week. The low price at which Canadian and States' Flour is offering, attracs purchasers, and there is a good demand for it at a reduction of is to 2s per barrel on the rates of our last. This interferes with the sale of home manufacture, which is full is per sack lower. Oats very flat; best qualities Id per bushel lower, whilst the value of secondary and inferior is quite nominal. The demand for Meal is confined to retail purchases of the best descriptions, at a reduc tion of 6d to is per load. Beans and Peas slow of sale, and is per quarter cheaper. Malt hardly supports late prices. CONDITION OF THE WEST INDIES. We have been favoured with the following from a respecta ble party in this town. The evidence which it affords of the ruinous state of our W est Indian colonies is distressingin deed, and ought to excite the serious attention of the con!- mittee which is now sitting on \Vest Indian affairs. 0 commend the picture presented of the prosperous condition of the Ilill-Coolies to those pseudo philanthropists who are accustomed to designate the employment of those poor In dians in sugar cultivation as only a remove from slavery itself " Plantation River, Berbice. " Saturday. May 29, 1842. "MY DEAR —, * * * * * * I also stated in that letter, that I had many difficulties to surmount, and much hard labour to encounter, and many heart-burnings and bickerings with this ill-disposed gang, ere I could hope to make any progress towards improving the estate ; still I did hope ultimately to overcome all those obstacles, and to be as successful here as I was last year at ; but all hope seems now to be vanished, and it grieves me much to say that I am making no progress whatever towards improving the condition of the estate. In fact, there is a long dark vista before me, and I can see no crevice through which I may hope to perceive a glimmer of better days. The labourers, instead of getting better, are daily becoming more and more indolent. In fact, the greater part of them are freeholders, having small patches of land on which they locate and spend their time in idleness. The cultivation of this estate has been and still is kept up by Hill Coolies, of which there are ninety males ; and to make matters worse, the term of servitude (five years) of those Coolies expires at the end of this year, and I believe they are all determined to return to Calcutta. What an unenvi able predicament I shall then be in ; in fact, unless, in the mean time, we can procure sufficient emigrants from Sierra Leon, St. Helena, or elsewhere, to replace those Coolies, the valuable cultivation of this estate must be abandoned, for to keep it up with our present negroes would be labour in vain. You now perceive that I have sufficient cause for being uneasy, and in truth I am fretting very much : indeed it is grievous to have the management of a valuable property, on which there is an outlay of many thousands, and not to be able to make sufficient returns even to pay in terest on the outlay, and all for want of labour. In January last we received 20 emigrants, or rather captured Africans, from St. Ilelena, and we shortly expect more; but what are two or three hundred, or even a thousand, labourers to do ? They are but like a drop of water to the ocean. We require several thousands before any good effects c an b e f e lt by emi gration; and I am sure if any of our disinterested statesmen could see the improved condition, both morally and physi cally, of both Coolies and Africans, there would be no bar rier to their coming here. I myself, on Good Friday last, drove a Coolie to town in my gy for the purpose of deposit ing 200 dollars in the Savings Bank, the whole of which (except 18 dollars, which he had borrowed from his brother to make up the amount) he had saved since his arrival here four years ago ! Now let me ask you in what other country any labourer would save ZlO in four years. .Yet by some short-sighted policy, those people whose constitutions are so well adapted to this climate, are prevented from coining here; and I may also here remark, that for upwards of twelve months there has not been one death among them either here or at —; and I believe on the aggregate there are upwards of 150 persons on the two estates.' This can not be too widely known, and if you think any good may be derived from it by its being made known to the committee now sitting to inquire into our condition. I will vouch for its correctness. While on the subject of emigration, I may here observe, that we are expecting some good from Lord Stanley's committee of enquiry on West India :ratters. In fact, things here are at their lowest ebb, and, like drowning men, we grasp at straws. We have so often had our fondest hopes dashed to the ground, that we are almost become incredulous. We have been miserably disappointed in Sierra Leone ; but hearing there are from two to three thousand captured Africans at St. Helena, there have been several vessels sent there for them ; and I trust we shall not be disappointed in that quarter. Does not the falling off of West India produce materially effect your business ? In fact, not only your business, but almost every branch of British manufacture—the effects of negro emanci pation—are severely felt here by all but quashie, who is now becoming lord of the soil. Situations both for managers and overseers are now very scarce and precious. Estates that formerly kept three overseers have now but one, and in two instances one manager manages two estates ; and among them I must painfully name and —, two first class estates, the former of which, in 1836, alone made 750 hhds. of sugar, 42-inch truss, and which are now managed by one manager. Is not this a bad state of affairs ?" 4)l)tpptug Entelltarna.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JULY 29. There was a larger supply of Sheep to-day than on last Friday, but trade was equally as good as on that day, at similar priees. The demand, however, was not solely by the butchers, but in con sequence of the rain a demand sprung up for Sheep for stock, as there will now be an increase of " keep" by the rain. Beef was a dull sale at about 3s 2d to as 4d per stone. Some few head of Calves fetched as, but the more general rate for the finest quality cannot be quoted more than 4s 6d, and 3s Bsd for inferior. Lamb and Pork were both lower in price. (Per stone of filb, sinking the offal.) PRICES OF S HARES AUGUST 1. Prices within the last seven days. This days RAILWAYS, &c. Per Share. Prices.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 29 There is only a moderate demand for Cotton to-day, at least not so great as earlier in the week ; the sales amount to about 4000 bales,—those of the week exceed 34,000 bales ; and the market closes steadily, without any change in prices. fftarittts. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET. JULY 29 We have again to report a large arrival of Wheat for this day's market. The weather during the week has'been showery. but on the whole favourable for the crops, and harvest will be general in two or three weeks in this district. A small extent of business was done in Wheat to-day at a decline on last week's rates of 2s to 3s per quarter, at this rednction the holders were not disposed to press sales to the same extent as last week. Beans and Peas Is per quarter cheaper with a moderate demand. Oats id per stone and shellings 6d per load lower. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. JULY 29. The arrivals were good of English Grain, and again abundant of Foreign Wheat and Oats. The trade for all kinds of grain is quite inactive on Monday's terms. One new sample of Essex Wheat was shown at market, the quality fine. Harvest is progressing rapidly, and the crops in the West of England and some other parts are said to be abundant. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, AVG. 1. We have had a fair supply of Beasts and Sheep, but generally speaking of an inferior quality. Prime things fully maintained last week's prices. Inferior a shade lower. Prime Beef 63d ; middling 5d to 50 ; prime Wethers 60; Ewes and middling Sheep 50 ; Lambs from sad to ;d, sinking the offal. Beast 987 ; Sheep 8747. ---- — -- LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AuG. 1. Our Irish Butter trade continues in the most stagnant state, and the finest qualities are nominally as last quoted, viz. Belfast 808 to 84s; Carlow 76s to 83s; Waterford 748 to 82s. The make of home Butter is immense, and the prices so moderate, that the market is much affected thereby. Pickled Butter though rather lower (768) is in tolerable request. The American Provisions, hitherto im ported, are not very highly prized by our ship owners, the prefer ence being given to Irish, though at a higher rate. There is not however, much business doing in any kind at present. Prime Bacon a ready sale at 475. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, JULY 29. There has been only a moderate demand for Sugikr. and the sales of B.P. are 400 hhds., at former prices. 1510 bags Bengal and 100 bags Mauritius have also been sold at the quotations.—Foreign.

The sales of Plantation consist of 150 casks of Jamaiea ; clean ordinary to fine ordinary qualities sold at previous rates, middling and good mid dling at a decline, in most instances, of fine, and 98s for pearl berry ; 3200 bags Costa Rice were also sold, chiefly with all faults, at 47s to 555, 45 bags Mysore at Sus, and 50 bags Padang and 30 bales Mocha at previous rates.-50 bags Trinidad Cocoa brought 358 to 365, 50 bags Jamaica Ginger £5 per cwt., and 300 bags• black Pepper 3d to 4d p lb.—Rtce. 4000 bags Bengal sold, chiefly from lOs 6d to Its 6d, and a small lot of fine Canadian at 30s per cwt.—B.P. Rum. The demand is very limited, and the small sales effected have been at rather easier rates; 60 puns. East India, with certificates, about 25 O.Y. brought 2s 8d per gallon. COTTON MARKET, AucvsT 1. The market opened this morning with a very general and good demand, exhibiting more bustle and animation than for some time past. Consumers were the principal buyers, having taken above 6,000 bales, which with 1,000 to speculators, and 500 for export, snakes a total of near 8,000 bales at the full prices of last week. On Saturday, the market was quiet, and less business doing, but the tone is decidedly healthy, and carries a degree of buoyancy, to which it has been a stranger for some time past. COTTON MARKET. 7 WEEKLY . REPORT. The trade have again purchased freely,' and the supply of Ameri can upon the market being now rather reduced, full prices have been obtained; other descriptions remain steady at the quotations of Friday last. Speculators have taken 3700 American, and ex porters 700 American and 120 Fermin. 1000 Sea Island and 350 Stained are declared for auction on Friday next.

The only change in the duties this week is a reduction on Foreign Rye and Pease to 8s 6d, and on both these articles from British possessions to 6d per quarter. The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last consist chiefly of about 9000 quarters Wheat, most of which is from the Baltic, 3503 barrels Flour from the United States, with 8287 barrels Flour and 3323 quarters Pease from Canada, the fresh supply from all other quarters being still very limited. With the exception of some light showers in the course of yesterday, the weather has continued fine ; the proceedings, therefore, during the interval between Tuesday last and to day, were altogether very unimportant, affording little occa sion to remark upon any branch of the trade within that period. We may briefly observe, however, that in the few transactions which took place in Wheat, the tendency was still rather towards a decline, although from the trivial nature of the sales - no general definite alteration could be stated. Of foreign Wheats the display of samples was again large this morning, and, having but a very limited attendance of country buyers, the best qualities scarcely maintained our last quotations, while the general runs of Mediterra nean were pressed upon the market at a reduction of fully 2d. per 70 lbs., and some low descriptions at a still greater depression : in such cases only were any sales prac ticable, and upon the whole we have only a moderate amount of business to report. Of English or Irish Wheats there is now very little remaining, and their value is more nominal than otherwise. • Flour has partially recovered from the late fall ;n prices, an improved demand for consumption, to-day, having taken off several thousand barrels, and increased the value of States 6d. per barrel ; Canadian, at the same time, remaining firm, at the rates of Tuesday last. In Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, little or nothing was done to warrant a change in the currency previously noted. Oats and Oatmeal continued much neglected, and bad sales been feasible to any extent, lower terms must have been conceded. LONDON GAZETTE.-FRIDAY, JULY 29. PARTNERSHIPS DISSOLVED. T. Parsons and G.
