DOUGLAS supported the nu grand liter of that monarch a grant to the ho had voluntarily sur ered the immense revenues of the crown to the contra tt. parliar, Sir R. Pratt eventually consented to postpone the discus sion until Wednesday. Colonel ItusHukto - otcx then moved a new writ for the bo rough of Sudbury Mr. TUFN EL moved, as an amendment. that leave be given to bring in a bill for effectual inquiry into bribery and corrupt practices said to exist in the horotigh of Sudbury, the inquiry which took place before the liouse of Lords having been wholly inadequate. He contended that it was impossible that the House of Commons could agree to the issue of a writ atter having passed a bill to disfranchise the borough. He proposed that the commissioners of inquiry should be empowered to go down to Sudbury, in order that the hives- tigation might be thoroughly carried out. Mr. C. W. WYNN said that the house would scarcely do would therefore move as an amendment that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the causes which led the House of Lords to throw out the bill for thedisfranchisement of Sudbury. Mr. Tui•NELL withdrew his amendment to make room for that of Mr. Wynn. Colonel RusitBROOKE contended that the evidence did not affect the whole of the constituency, and he would therefore take the sense of the house on his motion. Sir R. PEEL said that after the house had almost unani mously past.cd the Sudbury Disfranchisement bill some in formation was required .in order to explain why such very imperfect evidence had been placed before the House of Lords. This inquiry might perhaps justify the bill of Mr. Tufnell, and should therefore precede it. Colonel RUSUBROOK withdrew his motion, and Mr. Wynn's amendment was agreed to. Mr. TUVNELL then mot ed that the writ for Sudbury should he suspended for one month, which was agreed to. On the motion fur the house resolving itself into a com mittee of ways and means, Lord HowicK moved as an amendment for a committee of the whole house on so much of the act 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 47 as related to the imposition of a duty on the exportation of coals. His object was to obtain a repeal of the duty im posed last year, which could not have been laid on for the purpose of. economising our supply of coals, because it had been estimated that the coal fields of Durham and Northum betland would last for upwards of 1700 years, without taking into account the supplies from Staffordshire and the other inland counties. As there was nu f of exhausting the supply, there was no reason why our shipping interest should he injured to the extent to which they were damnified by that measure. It had caused the trade to fall off one-third, although that trade had for some years previously increased ten-fold under the system of free trade. In Germany and other countries they were increasing the facilities of convey- ance so far that if once they were enabled to supply the de mand which we were by this duty refusing to satisfy, we might vainly seek hereafter to recover the trade by a reduction of that duty to which its loss was to be attributed. As an il lustration of such short-sighted policy as that of attempting to compel our neighbours to submit to taxation for our benefit he quoted the case of Naples, which had sought to compel this country to pay a tax which it levied upon the expor►ation of sulphur. The result was, that our chemists and manufacturers at home Lever rested until they had ac complished the manufacture of sulphur here, and thus after Naples had retraced her policy she found that nevertheless this country had been enabled to maintain competition with her in our own markets, and that a considerable portion of the trade in that article had been consequently lost to that country. The proprietors of the Great Western steam-ship were in the habit of sending out coals to America for the consumption of the 'return voyage. The duty prevented their doing so any longer, and they were now compelled to make the return voyage with American coal. The right hon. baronet had estimated the produce from the coal duty at £140,000, but it had i,olv produced £lOO,OOO, from which was to be deducted .£12,000, the amount of the former duty. This miscalculation, however, was' not the only evil, for he believed that the Treasury was a loser rather than a gainer by a measure which by its indirect opera:ion affected every branch of trade in the kingdom. _ _ _ Mr. GLADSTONE said he should not at that late hour reply to the invectives against the Government, with which the noble lord had interspersed his speech. He admitted that a tax upon one branch of export necessarily had an effect upon all other articles connected with it, and he els.) admitted that to regain a trade once lost was tar more difficult than was its original attainment; but these were general propositions which no one would dispute. The real question was whether the finances of the country were in such a position as'to per mit the opening up of the discussion of the repeal duties. The short experience of nine months was not sufficient to test the policy of this duty, which was not adopted until after the fullest consideration. The tight honourable gentle man contended at some length that the duty ,vas perfectly justifiable under the circumstances of the conntry, and that the estimates upon which Lord liowick bud grounded his opposition to it were fallacious. The falling off in the expor tation of coals, as shown by the noble lord, was only a falling off as compared with the trade of last year; but last year's trade was unnaturally swelled by the enormous exportation which took place in anticipation of the duty. He was notof that the pressure on the shipping interest was to be attributed to thin tax, but rather to itie general depression trade; nor did be think any case had been made out callin for the interference of the bonse. Mr. H. HINDI': said that the defence of the tax by M► Gladstone amounted only to this, that the shipping interest were not so badly otf as they might have been. Ile though that no answer bad been given to the case made out by Lor Howick.__ Lord HARRY VANE said that the result of the tax wool be to cause English capitalists to go over to France, to woe the coal mines in that country, of which there were no lea than sixty one open, though not worked. Mr. BELL would support the motion, though be did 111 think it well-timed and had done all he could to ►nduce Lou Hoi;iek not to bring it forward. Sir G. CLERK contended that the tax bad not depreciate the shipping and trading interests as was insisted upon I the noble lord. Mr. LABOUCHERE contended that the coal and spirit di ties, which had been last year laid on, were wholly failures measures of revenue, while they had inflicted great mischi on the shipping and other interests of the country. I should vote against the tax because the evil it was produci► was out of all proportion to the amount of revenue it broug Sir ROBERT PEEL reminded the house that there was still a deficit in the revenue to meet the expenditure, and they were not therefore in a position to listen to propositions for the reduction of taxes. With respect to the diminution of our export of coals to the United States, it was to be accoun ted for by the fact that those states had levied a duty of no less than 8s a ton on the importation of British coal. ,They had not sufficient experience to judge of the operation of the tax, and he therefore hoped the house would support the Go vernment in opposing the motion of the noble lord. Mr. LIDDELL said that although in point of time he thought the motion of Lord llowick injudicious, yet he should give it his support. The motion being lost on division, by 187 to 124, the house went into committee pro forma, and re sumed. _ _ _ The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS—TvEsnAy The Duke of WELLINGTON moved that an address be pre sented to her Majesty, thanking her Majesty for her most gracious tnessage respecting a provision for her Royal Iligh ness the Princess Augn , :ta of Cambridge, and expressing their lordships readiness to take into consideration any proposition which might be submitted to them. _ Earl FORTESCUE quite agreed in the propriety of the tnes ee ; but called attention to the marriages of the Duke: of Sussex, who had left two children unprovided for, and for whom some provision ought to be made.

Mr. GLADSTON ferenee b said there appeared to be but little deration to be extended to existing interests but lie entirely differed , from him as to the propriety of disturbing those interests by proposing a new change in the corn laws before the recent one had had any thing like a fair trial. The noble lord could scarcely tlatter himself that the magic of his oratory woul►l induce the house to agree to his motion, and by so doing reverse decisions which had been so repeatedly affirmed atter lengthened debates during the present session. It was contended that the adoption of a fixed duty would lead to a large extension of our foreign trade; hut this y was destroyed by the practical result of . what had .eady done in the adopt '1 of ft ec trade principle s we adopted those principles we were met by hostile tariffs on the part of foreign nations, who did all that in them lay to enforce a system of restriction the present corn I Fame temptations a 3 a mass at a part cular period of the :ht be proved by a reference to the amc s of delivery. The great fluctuations of price under the old law could not be alleged against the present in there L been no sudden action —the coffers of the Bank were full, while the complaints of the British shipowner hed been removed. Fie was sorry to see, a disposition on the part of Englishmen to represent the corn law as a question of rent, founded upon no other principle than that of the selfishness of the land owners, when, in fact, it was justified on the score of pecu liar burdens pressing on the laud. No reduction of rents could take place without throwing large portions of land out of cultivation, and thereby injuring both farmers and la bourers. Much stress had been laid upon the necessity of settling this question ; but how was it possible to obtain a settlement between the advocates of a fixed duty and the ad vocates of a total and icumzdiate abolition of all duty on on the eurren, would be only unsettling the question. It would be dis honourable on the part of the Government if it disturbed the victual contract entered into with the agriculturist by the passing of the existing law, and he wished it to be distinctly understood throughout the country that. it was not passed with any latent intention of repealing it. Nothing had yet occurred to justify a change, and notwithstanding the active attempts to disturb the minds of the agriculturists he was convinced that a great portion of them were satisfied with the s it now stood Mr. LABOUCHERE supported the motion of Lord John Russell, and regretted that a measure so recently passed as the existing corn law should have given rise, owing to the nnsound principles on which it was based, to incessant agita tion and a probability of indefinite danger. Sir R. PEEL said, that even if the motion of Lord J. Rus sell should be carried, the noble lord could still have no hope that lie could make any proposition in committee which would be agreed to by those who support his motion for going into committee. The differences between the advocates of a total repeal and of a fixed duty would then become at once appa rent; and the whole proceeding, therefore, must necessarily terminate in nothing. Ile had no doubt but that the pro position of the noble lord would be moderate enough, but fixed it could not be according even to his own apprehension of future circumstances. The ri,gl,t hon. baronet replied re riatim to the chief arguments of. the supporters of the mo tion, and said he considered the treasure of the last year a compromise between all the interests concerned, and which was assented to by the agriculturists on the faith of its being Believing that it was most mischievous to be tampering with the corn laws, and believing also f the Question that it w•as impossible that could be arrived at in lord, he should at or determination to tain the la , .v of last session. vplied, and said that hopelessness of access was no ground for not brit Forward If such a r questions of parliamentary reform and of Catholic emancipa tion never would have been carrit.d. He had often divided on the question of reform with far less support than he ex- pected to receive on that occasion After a few words from Sir IL PEEL in explanation, the house divided, and the motion of Lord J. Russell was nega tived by a majority of 24.1 to 145. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDA Mr. ilumE ga notice that on 'Tuesday week he would bring forward his :notion respect►ng the discontinuance of the pension to the King of H anover. Mr. M. GIBsoN asked if it was the intention of the Go- vernment to persevere with thy, Factories siastical Courts Bill, a general feeling being prevalent that the former measure would be abandoned for the present sea- II and the F,eele- sion, in consequence of the frequent postponements which had taken place? Sir R. PEEL said that the postponements were attributa ble to the frequency of adjourned 'debates. His right hon. friend (Sir J. Graham) would however make a statement on the subject of these bills last evening. The house then resolved itself into committee on her Ma, sage. and . jestv's m_ Mr. II um', Objected to the grant of a dowry to the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, although he admitted that the con duct of the Duke of Cambridge in his private as well as pub lic life, as compared with that of the other members of the royal fancily, was deserving of the admiration of, the house. Ile condemned the motion as emanating from the ministers of the crown, and as calculated to render the princes of the blood dependent upon the minister of the day, an evil of itude when it *as considered what influence those great ma sed over a considerable portion of it right to grant pensions to princes of the blood, but he was opposend to extending this to the remote branches of the royal family, for if it were ne cessary to pay all the Princes well and liberally, they ought to be made to provide for their own offspring. He referred to the pension to the Prince Mecklen burg Strelitz, the father of the prince about to be mar ried to the Princess Augusta. That pension was granted on the ground that he was the nephew of the Queen of England, and as the money was borrowed by the country at £5 per cent., the pension had already cost the country £335,000 at compound interest. Where were these timings to end—where was the line to be drawn—or was the country thus to be called upon to pension every branch of the royal family, however remote? According to calculations he had made, assuming that her royal highness should live fmrty five years longer, this pension of £3,000 per annum would curt the country no less than £500,000. If her Mojesty was told that this grant might entail such a charge upon the public, he was convinced she would never sanction it ; and the ministers, therefore, were the parties to blame for not stating the ease fairly to her Majesty. The hon. member necessarily exec several times complained of interruption, and ut length said he would name the parties causing the interruption. There which called itself a party grossing up in that _ . " Young England," and though he might be running counter to the feelings of Young England, he would still persevere in stating his opinions. The payments to the royal family exceeded £700,000 per annum, exclusive of parks, palaces, &c., and this while the country was in almost a state of bankruptcy, for it was unable to meet its engagements with. out- borrowing. The hon. member concluded by moving "That it is the opinion of this committee that the ample allowance granted for a lengthened period to his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge should have enabled him to make provision for his children ; and that it was neither wise nor just, in the present state of distress of the manufacturing and labouring classes of the community, to propose any dowry for her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge." INGLts contended that the crown had lost 47 millions, which sum the. people had gained by the bargain which it had Ult/iie with the crown for the surrender of the crown lands. Having thus lost the means of nothing such grants as the one before the house. the crown had a right to call upon the parliament to enable it to do so. Mr. F. linamo did not think the bargain a had one for the crown, but he did not think that that had anythim; to do with the question. He was of opinion that as the crown had given up its means of making provisions such as the present, it was but reasonable that parliament should be called upon to do so. This grant was no extension of the line to which former grants applied, and he thought it was not un reasonable that parliament should be called upon to do so. This grant was no extension of the line to which former grants applied, and he thought it was not unreasonable to give £3OOO per annum to the granddaughter of a king. li e thought, however, that the grant should not come into ope ration until after the cessation of the pension of th e D u k e o Meek!cube) . - Sir RonEitT PEEL said it was the wish of the Government to make to the house such a proposition as would he deemed reasonable by every honourable member. There could he no doubt but that the income of the Duke of Cambridge was a large one, hut then the demands upon it for charitable pur poses were also very large; and it was for the interests of the public that means should be given to enable royal prin ces to promote by their example the numerous charitable in- ISI t ituttons with which this country abounded. T he line was not this proposition would not be establishing a new precedent.

TO MERCHANTS, BROKERS, AND OTHERS The largely increased and most respectable circulation which the Tuesday's Edition of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has now obtained aniongst the mercantile body in Manchester °fords its proprietors the gratify- iny power of 'urging this, amongst the other undeniable claims which it possesses, upon the favor of that portion of the mercantile community of Liverpool who desire to bring their advertisements before the notice of buyers in the neighbouring manufacturing districts. In most of the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Mancheste however, the centre of the manufac taring district, our publication of Tuesday—occurring upon the most im portant market day of the Cotton Trade, wizen its Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country mann- faeturers, spinners, and calico printers— is firmly es- tablisiged in circulation, and is perused with increased and increasing interest Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to receive an increased measure of support from the mer- chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it qfirords us great pleasure to assure those of our friends amongst those classes, who have hitherto bestcwed their adver- tisiny favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability to do justice to the interests committed to their care Cbe kilmrpool 't ii FRIDA Y 1110 MING, JUNI 16, 1843 We insert elsewhere some further announcements of the " progress of repeal," and amongst them will be found a few particulars of a " formidable demonstra tion" at Mallow, in county Cork, on Sunday last, at which, according to the statement of the Cork Exa miner, upwards of four hundred thousand persons were present. Such enormous assemblages of misguided men are not the only alarming symptoms connected with the repeal agitation, though these are sufficiently dangerous ; and yet, if we are to credit the London correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail," no step is to be taken to repri•ss the Irish agitation." Our readers are already aware, from a paragraph in our last paper, that a cabinet council was . held on Sunday last, very unexpectedly, and this fatal determination was then, according to the authority we have men tioned, resolved upon. We will, however, give this extraordinary statement in the language of our contemporary " LONDON, NIONDAV.—No step is to be taken to repress the Irish agitation. A cabinet council was held yesterday (Sunday), and after a very stormy debate the fatal decision was resolved upon. Sir R. Peel's vapouring in the House of Commons was, it is now manifest, properly characterised by Mr. O'Connell as a mere &alum fulmen. At the very moment that her Majesty's ministers were sitting in delibe ration, the leaders of her Majesty's opposition were, by a curious coincidence, also assembled in conclave at. Lord John Russell's residence. Ireland was there, too, the subject of deliberation. Several assaults are to be made in the present month on ministers ; and the result, it is anticipated, will be further concessions to the Irish party !" "LONDON TUESDAY.-.-The rumours to-day in the differ ent political clubs were more numerous than usual, and all of a conciliatory tendency. The result of the councils held lately by the. ministers is said to be this—that a series of mo tions will be submitted to the House of Commons, which, it is anticipated, will extort fort her concessions from the go vernment in favour of the so called liberal party in Ireland. Ay that Sir Robert Peel is prepared to sacrifice what remains of the established church, in the hope of propitiating Mr. O'Connell and the priests. Others, that a federal union is to be conceded, and the rumour to-clay at Brook's and the Reform Club is, that the Queen will be advised to hold a parliament occasionally in College-green. Be these rumours true or false, it is now agreed on all hands that the conser vative party in Ireland has nothing to hope from the govern- ment." We know not what truth there may be in these rumours, or in any of the other statements of this gen tleman ; but we have had frequent occasion of noticing his accuracy, and he has given many proofs of the opportunities he possesses of arriving at important in- formation. On the supposition that his correspondent Dublin Mail of Wednesday makes the is correct, th. following remarks on his letter upon it It is not fur want of knowledge of the true state of things that ministers thus falter. They know what has gone for ward in public already—they know what is meditated for the They hnow that the tnayment of rents is even now systematically withheld, and that the non-payment which is now partial, will soon be ordered for universal practice. They know that the assizes are approaching when the intitni. datiun of juries, and the cc.rruption of witnesses will render the admiikistratiou of justice a farcc—they know that so ciety is resolved to its barbarous elements, and become once morea;chaos ; that the gentry arc flying the country—that the magistracy, Protestant and Roman Catholic, are on the point of destruction—that capital has been withdrawn from busi- ness—that except to the coffers of the Corn-Exchange, and out of them again, the currency of money has entirely stopped —that the hand of industry has been paralysed—that even the agricultural pursuits of the peasant and the labourer are abandoned, and that of all the works, public or private, going on some weeks ago, there is hardly one in progress but the new temporary Parliamentary House ou Burgh Quay. These are portentous signs of the times; and they are all known to mi nisters, or they ought to be. We will tell them something more. We will let them into a secret, which, if they k now not, they are not only the more culpable, but perhaps the only pet sons in the kingdom ignorant of the fact. The loyal and peaceable inhabitants of this country—mark it, Sir Robert Peel—the friends of the British connexion in this country are beginning to ask one or two significant questions : First—Why are they thus abandoned ; and, secondly, w h en t h us abandoned, there no reasons why, or no means by which, they could provide for their own safety and interests? We can assure Sir Robert Peel, that many sober and honest men begin to question whether such terms could not be made with the repeaters as would render a parliament in College-green— .vith a House of Lords :Is it was constituted before the Union not only a glorious thing fur Ireland, but very safe also for all her inhabitants. They argue from the supposed enlight enment of the times for the safety of their religion, if not for the toleration of their church; and seeing the interest which Etonian Catholic landlords have in the permanence of thriir titles, they infer that their properties might be made secure enough." ♦Ve feel that we ought to he under no necessity of Ipologising to our read s for the somewhat unusual space which we have devoted in our present publica tion to the proceedings of . our excellent Collegiate In stitution. Setting aside the fact that this institution has, so far, proved its capability of conferring vast benefits upon the young, whilst, by its valuable lec tures, it affords large sources of instruction and delight to the adult, there is something in an examination such as that which has just taken place, which will not permit us to resist the temptation of recording its eventful results. There is a pleasure, even to men wearied with the toil of literary exertion, in witnessing the dawning scholarship of those, who may perhaps be destined to fill higher and nobler paths in life than their own—t o w i n trop hi es and honours forbidd en t o themselves. I n t h e young candidates for scholarships at such institutions, we may he gazing upon the poets, the statesmen, the divines, of another age; and where even the claim to the possession of eminent talent may not exist, there is certain to be an amount . of merits in the candidates which, even in the columns of a thing so ephemeral as a newspal)er, some fond parents eye may dwell with satisfaction, and the future man, as he takes it occasionally from its sanctum, may gaze with a pride which is Sill ely not to be brought against him as an unpardonable offence We have, therefor iven the results of this exami nati on , so b oa ,„ r o,,i, to man y of the young aspirants, and w e may add, to their teachers as well, at as much length as we could airord ; and we shall on future oc- cesions do so, in the conviction that even the humble meet! of fame within our power to atibrd may not be _ _ without its uses, in i nc i t i r pf to new exertions and fresh , in a field where the trophieh are inexhaustible. victolies And here we limy, not un appropriately, record our admiration of the maniticen t spirit in which some of the Conservative gentlemen of our town, and one ex emplary nohleman—we refer to Messrs.

And at the same time we must appeal to the leading conservative ladies and gentry of our to co-operate with them more heartily than they done hitherto. In particular, we refer to the lec which have been given. These have been, thus f a very superior character for talent and interest They have been presented with every aid to the com fort and convenience of the audiences. And yet, on more than one occasion, we regret to have observed a somewhat s. lender attendance of those classes whose presence would most conduce to the welfare of the In stitution. We hope this will not continue to occur, as by that means the sterling value of the lectures—their talent—must for the future be very sensibly deteriorated We may remark that the attendance of, the pupils and members has on all occasions been excellent; and, fur their sakes, we hope that nothing will intervene to lesson the value of a boon which is sought after with such avidity We have this day the painful task of recording ano ther of those disastrous conflagrations, which have of late conferred so injurious a notoriety upon our toivn. Another extensive and valuable property, affording employment to a considerable number of our indu trious population, has fallen a sacrifice ; and theie is too . much reason to suspect that the caiatnity is attri butable, alone ; to the act of an incendiary ence to our report, elsewhere, will afford evidence little short of conclusive, that no mere carelessness k refer no spontaneous combustion—no accident of predis posing causes—has occasioned the destruction of the premises of the Messrs. Crofts. The buildings them seli•es were of the most perfect construction. Their management was 'of the most careful description. They were safe up to the last moment at which they could be examined by the servants of , their . owners ; and, most striking fact of all, the locality, in which combustion appears to have commenced, was one en tirely removed from any reasonable probability of acci dental ignition. Coupling these facts with the very strong suspicion which has attached to the origin of the recent fires at the Duke of Bridgewater's warehouses, and indeed of other recent fires in Liverpool, it cannot but strike any reflecting man that it is time, and full time, that a Bewitching examination should be entered upon, and resolutely followed up, for the purpose of arriving, if possible, 'at the sources of destruction of property so deplora le—destruction, too, so injurious to the welfare of the ton tself. Incendiarism the most wicked and weekly occasioning the sacrifice of valuable property — not that only which the devouring element consumes, but of the very reputation of the port, as one safe for the warehousing within its limits of produce of any description. We have been told of loose management. maniacal practices of warehouse owners and ware housemen, porters, and others, employed in this de partment of our trade. These, howe nothing to do with the existence of incendiarism. Ti eus is not that of a warehouse at all ! And we must, therefore, cast our eye much beyond such snd spilt:cid paltering it i question at issue, and endeavour to reach, what is the only material subject for inquiry, the cause and the it struments of this demoniacal crii case before mere paltering —with the Wherever we have hitherto traced the career of the incendiary, we have ever found hits some moody, sullen maniac, or some brutalised and senseless being, worked up to the commission of his deeds of destruc tion by private injury, or fancied injury, or by some political delusion. The outrages of Ribbonism, or Whiteboyism, in Ireland, are distinctly traceable to a distinct cause. We can conceive readily the inducing motives of a " Swing." We can as readily conceive the motives which have induced the turn-out workmen in our manufacturing districts to burn the very factories in which they were earning their bread. But where have we the same ground of reasoning to go upon in the cases before us, and in many recent cases which have occurred in Liverpool ? How can we trace to any of these inducements or im pulses the cases of the Duke's Wt Crofts' Soapery ? We have no evidence, and none, we believe, exist, that there is any misunderstanding be tween either of these parties and their workmen Passion, then, or misg Me character of the act, can have had no portion in culty of attaining even a guess at the persons or de- gree of the perpetrators. We must go, therefore, beyond this beaten track of investigation ; and humiliating to . human nature it is to have to do so! We must ask are there no classes in this country, and in this town, sufficiently debased to rush upon even the crime of incendiarism, for the profit, for the additional employment, which the oc currence of calamity affords ? And, more than this, are there not employed in some departments of our multifarious industry, men so bitterly hostile to every thing which bears the name, or upholds the strength, of England—so fatally in the power of secret treason, lurking in the very heart of our large towns—that they would scarcely pause at the precipitation of a calamity however certain to be widely spread, to ask themselves any more than the question whether or not they could do so with impunity ! We feel imperatively called upon to throw out these few hints, for the consideration of our local magistracy, who will no doubt be induced by this new instance of the spread of incendiary crime amongst us, to use in creased activity and vigilance for the detection of the perpetrators. We would not for a moment fasten a stigma such as this upon any class of our fellow -towns men, or fellow -countrymen. But when we look at the miserably ignorant, and degraded, and, we may add, excited and inflamed men, who are to be found occu pying, in this great town, departments of labour which bring them into the position to do the very mischief which is going on around us, we may surely ask, is that proper precaution used in that selection, which is consistent with the magnitude of the power to injure placed in their hands? At the nest council ,meeting Mr. Parker intends !o bring forward a motion for rescinding a resolution re cently adopted for the erection of the new gaol on the site of Wavertree Hall. As a general principle we are opposed to the re-opening of questions which have been discussed, and upon which a vote has been taken ; but there may be, and, sometimes are, occasions when it is advisable no: to. adhere too closely to such a rule, and as there is a strong feeling out of doors against the appropriation of this land for the intended build ing, grounded upon several forcible reasons which we need not enumerate, an opportunity will be afforded to those who are desirous of carrying out the resolutio of the council, of answering the various arguments which will be brought forward against carrying it into effect. Of course we are bound to defer to the strongly expressed opinions of the scientific men who have been consulted, that the situation can be thorougly drained ; but it is confidently affirmed that sufficient cannot be accomplished in this way to secure the health of the inmates. We publish in another column a full report of the speech of Sir Howard Douglas in the House of Com mons on the 15th May last, as we find it in Hansard's Reports. We are induced to do this, as affording our gallant representative an opportunity of explaining fully his reasons for recording the vote against which exception has been taken by the Anti-Monopoly Asso ciation of this town, and which that factious and med dling body has so modestly " denounced."

From the statement of Mr. Ellis, surgeon, and the appear ance of the boy, it appeased that he had been very severely beaten with a cane, and had had a narrow escape of being lamed for life. The magistrates, after expressing their opi nion that the conviction of the defendant would materially injure the defendant in his profession, and therefore it was not necessary to inflict :1 heavy penalty, .ordered him to pay a fine of 10s., the expenses of the medical attendant 155., THE \% st.vrn E tt.—The weather has now undergone a most beneficial change, and we entertain the hope that it is at lengt h decidedly settled. Ait h u' up to Tuesday fires had been used by most persons in their sitting rooms, we are glad to say that they are now generally discontinued ; indeed yesterday and on Wednesday the sun shone brilliantly, and the two days possessed all the characteristics of midsummer. We perceive, however, that the weather is very different in the south ; in London, on Tuesday the rain poured down in tor rents the whole day, and Wednesday according to the me tropolitan papers was a cold, damp, " sloppy" day. The weather has, however, undergone generally throughout the country a "blessed and seasonable" change. the election of a representative for this ward in the Town Council took place on Tuesday,before the alderman (Mr. Turner) and the two assessors of the ward, at the Horse and Jockey Tavern, Seel-street. The polling • booth opened exactly at 9 o'clock, and a few minutes after wards, Mr. John Smith (the late member for West Derby Ward) tendered the first vote for Mr.. John Stewart, the gentleman put in nomination by the Conservatives. Several other votes were afterwards received, but no other candidate was proposed. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock, no vote having been tendered for an hour, the alderman declared the election closed, and that Mr. Stewart had been duly returned.

ADDAMS'S LECTURES AT THE COLLEGIATE INsTr rrloN.—On Tuesday evening, Mr. Addams delivered, at the theatre of the institution, the, concluding lecture of his series of seven, on voltaic and magnetic electricity, before a highly-gratified audience, amongst ►which were many ladies. He commenced by stating, that he had now to submit an interesting portion of his subject, namely, Thermo-tnagnetic Electricity, which implied that heat had an influence in pro ducing electric currents; and thence he would deduce the fact that currents of electricity must be passing over the earth itself from east to west—the sun being a primary cause, anti the motion of the earth another—and these currents The magnetism of a bar of steel was effectually destroyed by submitting it to a red heat, as in that state it lost its power of maintaining the order of electric currents, and this alone proved that heat prevailed over electricity. Air. Barlow and others had com pared the influence of heat upon the magnetic condition of various kinds of iron, and found this fact. The magnetic :d 30Q of iron, was very different. Cold beaten iron posses murrnptir nnvvor null react iron nnlv 91C' A enlei and a cast former attracted the needle 4 iron one only 21°; when heated to a white temperature they had no effect, but when at that heat called by smiths " heat," cast iron had a power of 62° and malleable of When the bars were about to mel no power over :NI, but as they the magnetic needle, however near it. began to cool magnetism 'b me evic at its maximum when the iron had cook( heat in directing electricity in metals, he produced a small quadrangle or square, resembling a picture-frame, two of the opposite sides of which were of bismuth and the two others of antimony, mitred together and soldered at the corners. The electricity in either metal had no particular direc- tion. But by heating one of the metals at one of the corners or joints, and leaving the . rest in a cold state, the electricity began to circulate. He placed a small and delicate magnetic needle within the frame, and applying the flame of a small lamp under one of the joints, the electric current passed from the bismuth into the copper, and moved the needle round in one direction : hut when he heated the opposite corner (of the other metal) the effect was reversed, and it turned in the opposite direction. So long tempreature of the joint was greater than the reet of the metal, there would* be a current of electricity: When the frame contained a number of elements the power would be increased, but there was a limit to this, for if they were in creased in proportionate size to the frame, nothing was gamed. The same effect was shown by a great nuinner of metals, and tables of them, in the order in which they stood as conductors of electricity (as we understood him), bad been arranged. Be called attention to these, the first of which was in the following order:—bismuth, platinum, tin, lead, brass, copper, zinc, iron, antimony. Electricity set out from the bismoth down. The copper was here the recipient from the bismuth, and the deliverer of it back. He then showed a very beautiful thermo-electric experiment, by means of a very small but sensitive instrument, which, fin being but breathed upon at one end, had, through two pieces of copper wire, so great an effect upon a fine magnetic needle within a glass case that it drew it in a different direc tion, and when slightly heated in a like manner at the other end produced a reverse motion. By thus beating a piece of metal more in one place than another a sort of telegraph could be made, or it !night be indicated the temperature Was going on in a stove:hbuse, or in a furnace. This thermo electric ►machine, consisting of alternate little bars of bismuth and antimony, eacl► 14 inches 1 an inch the one metal communicating with the other at the ends by . copper wires. After showing some further experiments, he explained voltaic electric induction or the effects of currents of electri c ity com i ng against eacli other. Metals had an electric effect if moved to and fro, or in any direction. He showed that by putting a small plate of zinc and another of copper into acid and water, and applyins: them to a fine magnet, the direct km of the electric current could be ascertained. One a nmenet placed on each side, but rof touching it. If the wheel be placed with its axis east and west, and turned round, the earth's magnetism will act upon it, and occasion currents of electricity to run from the circumferences into the axis, and vice versa according as it is rotated, one way or the other, as was manifested by the galvanometer. This was an import ant experiment, for the wheel being of matter riot ordinarily magnetized it might he considered an epitome of the rotation of the earth itself. B tricky came out o f it s equator, and entered its poles. By ey tur n i ng i t as t h e eart h turns the elec tricity it in th e contrary direction, that is from east to wes the electricity wou ld come out. of the axis of the w h e el and t enter the equator. Here the current of electricity was very rreat in quantity, as he would show by another similar appa ratus, used in a difFerent mode. He took a circular copper plate, placed on a vertical axis, and which might be turned round by a wheel connected with it. All iron was avoided in its construction. Ile suspended a bar of iron about an inch over the wheel, by a thread and a little stirrup of paper, and the wheel b e i ng rap id ly turned the magnet also turned round rapidly, in eith er direction, though not touchi ng . i t ; b u t a bar of iron, not magnetized, placed in the same position, re mained quiescent, however quickly the wheel was turned. He next showed a magnet revolving on its own axis, and afterwards the extraordinary, but only momentary, electric effect of suddenly thrusting a bar magnet into a wooden cylin, der, wrapped round with a coil of copper wire, and communi cating by wires with a fine needle. The instant it was put in with the poles in one direction the needle moved round, and when put in on the other it moved in the opposite direction. This apppeared to be caused by an instantaneous wave or shock, which as instantly died away. The lecturer then showed some beautiful experiments with a magneto-electric machine, working with a wheel, the construction and action of which he fully explained. It was, however, ton complex (in large magnets, &c.) to be described here. By this a con tinuity of electric sparks was kept up, similar to those pro. duced by an electrical machine, and capable of giving electric shocks, sufficiently powerful even for those of mother strong nerves. By this he ignited paper dipped in spirits of wine, and other combustibles, and also warmed wire to a visibly red heat. It showed, too, the influence, by means of coils of wire one within the other, of one current of electri city upon another, and the wonderful effect (demonstrated by the sparks) of making and breaking their conduction. 'He also decomposed water by the apparatus. Towards the close he adverted to the various sources from which we might ad. duce the magneti sm o f t h e earth and its motion, one-half heated ata time, and the other not; the minor influence of light upon it ; its stratification and components of rocks, granite, slate, and the water lodged in its cavities, operating as plates of a voltaic pile, and so producing electricity. It was be. sides to be observed that the veins of metal found in this country run from east to west, and that was the direction in which the currents of electricity themselves went round the globe. These things would have a tendency to move the earth on its axis, and there was reason therefore to believe that electricity was one of those mighty agencies, fundamen tally beyond human comprehension, by which the Divine Architect regulated the revolving world of matter, the motion of which being made upon its axis ceeal he perpetuated even though it had to pass through a reef-tiny medium. He had now brought the subject to a close, and included every im portant illustratio n available within the limits of these lec tures, and thereby redeemed the promise be had made in the outset. He cordially thanked his auditors for the marked attention with which they had listened to his instructions, and the kind feeling manifested throughout amongst them. And he could not retire without expressing the great plea sure he had felt in addressing so highly respectable a body in that magnificent institution, and the gratification he should feel, if they, on a future occasion, required his services in ex plaining that branch of science to which he had addressed himself.—He was loudly applauded in his several interesting experiments, and was repeatedly cheered front all parts of gentlemen after of shock s f rom the magneto•electric era_ the house at'the clo se .
