The paragraphs alluded to were sent to us and in _ as ar ticles of news ; but, our attention having siuce been called to the allegations, we have deemed it our duty to refer for information to a gentlemen whoie antiquarian pursuts, and knowledge, especially of the history of this county, give credit and value to his statements ; and, from this Fentteman, we learn the real facts of the case, which, are, In nNeman, brief, that tbe family of Lord Brougham (originally Burgbam, the co. which is Saxon), was settled at Burgbam before oquest, and continued there till the present time, o re the during the lapse of from 1607 to 1724. That, in 1607, Thomas Brougham died, leaving two co-heiresses, wi n some time afterwards, sold a portion of the estate to the Countess of Pembroke : and a farm called the " The Hos pital," to one James Bird. an attorney, and steward to the Countess. He, Bird, built a house upon that part of the property which he purchased, and that is the house which is called "Bird's Nest."

Westmintlsieir 1,500 milliners and dressmakers carry on business for own e molument. It is calaculated, that besides jo_u em rneays__ w omen, there are 15,000 females employed under th in-door and out-door apprentices. The usual curse o f the trade is for girls to commence, generally in the coontr at 14 years of age, as either in-door or out-door apprentices. That apprenticeship lasts for two or three years. The in door apprentices pay a premium of £ 5O or £6O, an d are boarded and lodged by thei r employers. The out-door ahp prentices pay no Premium, and receive no salary. On te termination of their apprenticeship, when they ar e between 16 and 17 yea r s of age, they enter as "improvers" into the large and fashionable houses in London, where they generally remain one or two years, paying a premium, and receiving is return board and lodging. The journeywomen are the only class paid for their labour ; but their wages are in ge neral very s mall, varying from £l5 to £5O a year. In the best regulated establishments, during the fashionable season, which lasts four months, the regular hours of work each day are 15, and in emergencies 18, out of the 24. In many es tablishments the hours are unlimited, the young women never getting more than six, not often more than four, sometimes only three. and occasionally not more than two, hours for rest and sleep. Nothing is paid for thew extra work, which in these establishments is often continued on t h e sunday. One witness states, that she worked 15 times the whole Sunday during the two years she was an improver. Miss O'Neil, herself an employer of labour in Welbeck street, sta pest that she has known the indentures produced in entices, who have ventured to complain that a"gtaielliabbarth shone no Sabbath day for them ;" and adds, , when remonstrances have been made respectingPsriuncchiPdaelecrations he Sunday, have sometimes Put them down by declaring that the time of the apprentices did not belong to tbem, but to their employers. Miss H. Baker, also an employer, declares th at, in one establishment, where she former l y worked, she had neve r more than fou r hours' rest out of the 24 for three mouths cohn.sectively, 'On the occasion of the general mourning for is Majesty. William IV., she worked without going to bed from four o'clock on Thursday morning till half-past ten on Sunday morning; and in order to keep awake she .stiood nearly the whole of Friday, Saturday, and Saturday ni b ; it, nli, .lows for half an hour for rest." Madame Victoire, a liner, in Baker-street, says, " A young woman told me t h at At night she had often laid down on the rug, because h time for rest was so short it was not worth while going to bed." Well, then, may Miss O'Neil declare that a r thousands estric tion of the hours of labour would be a blessing to ,f girls and young women, who are n ow utterly taxed beyond w ith equal their health and strength." Miss B aker adds, tatice, that "it would be a great boon to a large number of : , ersons, now totally unprovided for, if the hours of labour are shortened, and night work prohibited." Another wit ' as, who declares that nothing short of a legislative enact •,ent will reach the existing evil, feels, that as the young en employed in linendrapers' and other shops have their .art of labour regulated so as not to exceed twelve in the I,y during the busiest time of the year, young women have t till stronger claim to protection, on, accou nt of their hel i , p ie state, and the greater insalubrity of their occupation a ifor our own pirt we can see no reason why " y oung per s' employed in factories should be prohibited w or k from w or s : more than 72 hours in the week, and " young pe rsons?, 'gaged in dressmaking should be permitted to work 120 sari or more during the same period R tsniis ,./isers. . tpor of C 0 only sitting - parttaittateirp HOUSE OP COMMONS-MONDAY Sir J. GRAHAM gave notice that on Monday next he would state the alterations he intended to propose in the educational clauses of the Factories Bill. In reply to questions from Lord J. RUSSELL, respecting the bill which it was proposed to bring in, respecting the importation of Canadian corn, and also respecting the duties imposed by the legislature of Jamaica upon the produce of the country and of Ireland. Lord STANLEY said he was ready to lay upon the table the information which he had received from the Governor- General of Canada respecting the Corn Bill passed by the legislature of that colony, and he hoped in a few days to be able to give notice of the precise day on which he would in troduce a bill upon the subject. With respect to Jamaica, he agreed with the noble lord, that it was most objectionable in principle that the colony of Jamaica should impose taxes on the produce of this country. It was only that morning, however, that he had received a communication from the Board of Trade upon the subject, and he would only then say, that he would shortly give every information on the subject. On the motion of the house resolving itself into a com mittee of supply, Mr. B. COCHRANE said he should not, for reasons unne cessary for him to mention, oppose the vote for the College of Maynooth. Mr. WILLIAMS entered into a long statement, in the course of which he endeavoured to show that our colonies were an enormous expense to the country—particularly our possessions in the West Indies. Mr. BERNAL said that his hon. friend was altogether mis taken if he supposed those colonies were so very expensive to this country. They in fact mainly contributed to their own expenditure, as was evidenced by the fact that for his property in Jamaica, like all other proprietors of property n that colony, he had of late years received nothing. In fact, recently the internal taxation which he paid on his property was five times greater than the returns he received from it. Lord STANLEY said that the Government were quite agreed in principle with the hon. member, that those colo nies should, as far as possible, be made to support their own expenditure ; but it was a principle which should be gradually applied, and very many of the colonies already contributed largely to that object. Sir H. DOUGLAS called the attention of the government to the insufficiency of funds in the colonies for the purpose of spreading the Gospel. The Church missionary Society not only had not funds to send out additional missionaries, but they were unable to keep faith with those who had been already sent out. In reply to a question from the Lord Mayor respecting the powers of the Government as regarded emigration, Lord STANLEY said he felt great uneasiness at the hard ship to which some emigrants had recently been exposed ; but anticipating a question upon the subject, he was prepared to show that no blame whatever could be attributed to the Government. In fact, in the very case referred to, the in terference of the Government had been carried to the very extent of its powers. In October last they bad received in formation that the ship Barbadoes was loading, and was about to take emigrants to Prince Edward's Island. Having rea sonsuppose that a case of p ro b a bl e d ecep ti on was go i ng o n to , the Government emigration agent was instructed to in quire into the matter, and to give every assistance to the em igrants. It turned out that the vessel was well found— that she had an abundant supply of provisions, and that, in fact, the provisions of the Passengers Act had been fully complied with. It was represented by the British American Colonisation Association that they had purchased 72,000 acres of land in Prince Edward's Island, and as this land was alleged to have been purchased from private individuals and not from the Government, there was no immediate means of ascertaining the fact. The emigration commissioners went even beyond their powers in this case. They remonstrated with the company—represented to them the period of the year, which rendered the attempt extremely hazardous; but they were met by assurances that every possible precaution had been taken. The Government, however, sent informa tion to the governor of the island, with instructions that, if the vessel should arrive, he was to afford every protection to the emigrants, and to compel the company to perform to wards them the obligations it had undertaken. The ship sailed on the Ist of November, and on the 13th of December was driven back to the Cove of Cork. The emigration agent in the port, on inquiry, ascertained that it was the intention of the company to support the emigrants on board until the ship should be again ready for sea, and that she should be once more provisioned for the voyage. It was held out in February that the vessel would sail int. March, and yet at that very time the company was insolvent, and the mortgagee was in possession of the vessel. Here was a distinct fraud. Ap plieation was made to the Treasury for its interference, and the Crown solicitor was employed, but when the dissolution of the company took place it was found impracticable to pro cure a legal remedy. As, however, this company had been sanctioned by gentlemen of high station, whose names must have had considerable influence in enabling the company to inflict this hardship and oppression upon the unhappy suffer ers, though not legally obliged, still he trusted they would feel the moral obligation to remedy the great evil which their high names and character had been a chief means of occa sioning to those unfortunate emigrants. After a few observations, the house went into committee of supply. The votes were of a miscellaneous character, and led to a desultory conversation. The votes having been gone through the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY Sir J. GRAHAM said it was his intention, during the pre sent session, to introduce a bill for the better regulation of the medical profession. .... . . .. Sir R. PEEL, according to his promise on Monday night, entered into an explanation of the negociations respecting a commercial treaty between Portugal and this country. We had proposed to Portugal that the duties imposed upon the importation of the wines, &c., of that country into Great Britain should be reduced, provided the Portuguese govern ment consented to a reduction of the duties on our woollens, cottons, hardware, &c., into Portugal. The negotiations, however, had proved unsuccessful, a public announcement to that effect having been made by the government of Por tugal. The Brazilian government, with whom negotiations had been also in progress with a similar view, had recog nised the construction placed upon the existing treaty by the British government, and that treaty will therefore continue in force until the year 1844. The propositions, however, made by this country for a re-adjustment of the commercial relations between the two countries had been replied to by a demand that the sugar, tobacco, &c., of the Brazils should be allowed to be imported into Great Britain upon the same terms as we admitted onr own colonial produce. Mr. Ellis, the gentleman who was sent to the Brazils by the British government, intimated his inability to agree to such a pro posal, upon which the Brazilian government proposed that we should in no case impose a duty of more than 10 per cent. upon Brazilian produce than that which we imposed upon colonial produce. This Mr. Ellis could not concede, and the negotiations had been in consequence suspended. Mr. RICARDO then moved that an humble address be pre sented to her Majesty, respectfully expressing the opinion of the house, that it was not expedient that any contemplated remission of import duties be postponed, with the view of making such remission the basis of commercial negotiations with foreign countries. The hon. gentleman contended that it was an erroneous policy to higgle about commercial treaties, instead of throwing open our ports at once to the productions of all other countries. We should buy in the cheapest markets we could, and sell in the dearest ; for, according to all political economists since the days of Adam Smith, it was most ab surd to manufacture at home that which could be purchased much cheaper from abroad. Mr. GLADSTONE was by no means prepared to agree to a motion of so sweeping a nature as that proposed. He could not consent to the application of the principles of political economy, without any reference to circumstances, involving the rights of capital as well as of domestic labour. Retalia tion was not always useless in commercial matters ; and even if he were to admit the principle that our imports and exports would take care of each other, he still would not overlook the proceedings of other countries in judging as to what ought to be the course adopted by this country. The amount of produce affected by the new tariff was not less than twenty millions per annum ; and at the present moment our com mercial regulations were the least restrictive of those of any nation in the universe. Our existing commercial regulations would be destroyed by such a proposition as that of the hon. gentleman's. Even the unsuccessful negotiations set on foot by this country with France and Portugal had, notwithstand ing their failure, given a severe blow to the restrictive system in those countries. He had also to observe that the revenue w as not to be blindly sacrificed to an abstract proposition which practically might be productive of much evil if suddenly carried into execution. Lord HOWICK thought the adoption of the motion would not prevent the government from taking every precaution to protect the interests of the country. Instead of being an abstract proposition it was eminently a practical one. He wa s aware that many advocates of free trade were favourable to the principle of reciprocity, but it was a principle from which he dissented, thinking that in our commercial legisla tion we should pay no attention to what was done by otber countries, but look entirely to the least burdensome mode of raising a revenue for ourselves. The right hon. baronet at the head of the government had that very evening been com pelled to announce the total failure o f two of his p et p ro j ects ; and the truth was that this principle of reciprocity was a remnan t of the absurd old doctrine of the balance of trade , w hich was now altogether exploded. He was of opinion that if this country adopted the manly policy recommended in the motion before the house, our character would be at once raised throughout Europe, and all hostile tariffs must give way• Lord SANDON contended that it by no means followed that if w e gave up all our restrictive duties that foreign countries would follow our example. On the contrary, our reduced tariff of last year had been met on the part of foreign coun tries by no less than six hostile tariffs. He could not con sent at once to throw out of our hands, by such a motion as the Present' all the power we possessed of inducing other countries to adopt the principle of reciprocity towards ns. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the six hostile tariffs might be ow i n g to the fact that we had not selected the best articles upon which to reduce the duties. The question before the house wa s in effect this,—whether it was not better now to make reductions in the duty on certain articles which were left untouched by the tariff last year. When it was proposed to reduce the duties on the importation of foreign sugars, the slave trade was dwelt upon as the grand difficulty in the way, an d yet in the late negotiations with Brazil not one word had been heard upon the subject. It was time to reconsider our commercial policy, and though he admitted that disadvan tages resulted sometimes front the adoption of abstract reso lutions, yet in the present instance the motion before the house only pledged them to consider the most advantageous reduction of duties, without any reference to the course pur sued by other countries. He was inclined to think that the political consequences of adopting such a system of action would prove to be extremely advantageous to this country. Mr. D'lsnaEtt said, that as far as we had relaxed our system of commercial restriction, other countries had pursued precisely the opposite course, and he had no doubt but the adoption of the motion would lead to a total abstraction of the precious metals from this country. He opposed the mo tion as founded upon principles which he believed to be fal lacious, and which be believed would be found disastrous in their application. Sir H. DOUGLAS contended that we had no encouragemen to reduce our tariffs, because we bad been met by hostile to riffs in other countries. Sir R. PEEL said he (lid not think it right to discuss this motion in the details to which it would lead, for in that case he knew the room he would give for misconstruction as to the intentions of the Government, which intentions would be communicated to the house on Monday week. He objected to such an abstract resolution as that of Mr. Ricardo, as cal culated to create great embarrassment, and he was much sur prised at finding that Lord John Russell was prepared to support it. The present Government had resumed the nego ciations with France, with a view to a commercial treaty, and were they to stop short because they had nothing to offer to France in return for the reduction of the duties which they required from the French Government ? There was a con templated reduction of the duties on port wine, with a view to get our cottons, woollens, hardware, &c., admitted into Portugal on reduced duties also; and were we now to perse vere in reducing our duties,•although Portugal refused to meet us by the reduction of the duties imposed upon our exports to that country? He hoped the house would negative the motion, for he thought the interests of the country were ma terially involved in endeavouring to get our manufactures ad mitted into other countries, by holding out to them the ad vantages of allowing their produce to come at reduced duties into this country. Cgpori 5 . 414 w 41,1 not wok fiab ty.atioi salt. Brazils, we only wanted to have tho duties on sugar Keilueo for our own advantage. Mr. Ellis was sent out to repre sent, at the Brazils, the monopolists of Great Britain, and to endeavour to make a bad and mischievous bargain for the people of England, in order to serve the West India mono polists. Mr. Ellis must have exhibited this country in a strange point of view to the Brazilians—he must have held the people up as a set of slaves to the landed oligarchy, and the timber oligarchy, which were studying their own interest only, and not that of the people. It was not in Portugal, but in North and South America, that this country could find a market for its manufactures, but those continents must be closed against us because the right bon. baronet could not stand up against the monopolists who wereinter ested in keeping up these high protecting duties. It was for this reason he was anxious to take from the Government the Power of amusing the people by attempts at negotiations which could be productive of no advantage unless concessions were made to those countries, which concessions the right bon. baronet would not consent to. Mr. RICA RDO replied, after which the house divided, and the motion was negatived by a majority of 135 to 61. HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY. Mr. M. GIBSON asked if there was any objection on the part of the G overmen t t o sta t e th e ex act amount of protec tion to the West Imlis proprietors which Mr. Ellis was in structed to stipulate for in his negotiations with the Govern ment of Brazil. The Brazilian minister had offered to assent to a differential duty of ten per cent. as had been stated by the right hon. baronet; but he thought the house ought to know the amount insisted upon by the West India interests. Sir R. PEEL regretted he could not reward the persevering attempts of the hon. member to obtain this information, which it was not desirable to communicate. In reply to another question from the same hon. member, Sir. R. PEEL said that if the treaty had been brought to a successful conclusion with Portugal, the duty on Port wine would by reduced, unless treaties were also concluded with those countries. Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask if the treat with Brazil Wide, was broken of upon the que s ti on o f t h e s l ave de, or upon the question of protection to the West India interests. Was it in fact broken of upon a question of morals or of finance ? Sir It. PEEL said it was broken off because Mr. Ellis was not authorised to agree to a differential duty of not more than 10 per cent. Lord . J. RUSSELL then moved the second reading of the Municipal Corporations Bill, which he understood was to be opposed, though upon what principle he could hardly con ceive, unless it was proposed to adopt some other mode of correcting the abuses in those smaller corporations to which his bill referred. The noble lord said he proposed to abolish, or remodel, all those contained in schedule A, while the government of those in schedule B might be entrusted to vestries. If any boroughs were considered of sufficient importance to have a constitution, he proposed that the governing body should be elected by persons resident three years in the borough, and paying rates and taxes. If these corporations were to exist, he thought they should not be self.elected. Nor could he see, after dealing with the larger corporations of the kingdom, why they should refuse justice to the smaller ones. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM said his time was too much occupied to enter upon a reform of the corporation of London. He was not prepared to be its assailant, or to enter upon yes defence, but- he was' convinced that the notice of a motin to that effect would unite the corporation of London as one man against it. He was opposed to the bill of the noble lord, for he believed the country was taken by surprise by this bill. He did not think that it had beeu prepared with the care the subject required. It not only abolished 83 charters, but clause 4, by which 34 corporations were abolished, introduced a new principle exceedingly objectionable, for it put au end to representation, and gave the rate-payers power over the vestries. The right hon. baronet stated other objections to the bill, which, with all these objections, he contended, ought not to be allowed to proceed furthet during the pre sent session. He therefore moved that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. The motion was rejected by a majority of 99 to 46 ACCOUCHEMENT OF HER MAJESTY OF A PRINCESS. -BIRTH On Tuesday morning, at four o'clock, the Queen was safely delivered of a princess. In the room with her Majesty were his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilly, the monthly nurse ; and in the rooms adjoining, were the other medical attendants (Sir James Clark and Dr. Ferguson) and the Lord Steward of her Majesty's household. This event, though every one has been anxiously expecting it for the last month, at last took place so suddenly that— coupled with the reluctance unnecessarily to alarm the great officers of the state and the ministers—most of the official persons whose duty it was to have been present did not arrive in time. The first circumstance after the arrival of the court from Claremont on the 22d of March which gave an intimation of the near approach of the event was the summons to Mrs. Lilly, the nurse, who commenced her attendance on her Majesty on the Ist of April. On Tuesday, the 4th, the Queen Dowager dined with her Majesty, who was so unwell during the evening, that Queen Adelaide delayed her de parture for Bushy till the following morning, until by in quiry she ascertained that the indisposition had passed off. On the following Sunday, the 9th, her Majesty took the sacrament in her own apartments; but, although the new chapel in Buckingham Palace had been consecrated on the 26th of March, yet the Queen did not feel well enough to at tend divine service. These circumstances made all the official persons whose duties would be at all affected by her Majesty's accouchement anticipate that it would take place from day to day. Indeed, most of the ministers were so confident that the event would immediately take place, that they made all their arrangements for spending the Easter holydays in the country. Large parties were invited to Drayton, and also at the seat of the Duke of Buccleuch, and so certain was the Lord President, that he had fixed the day of his departure for the 15th. None of these anticipations were, however, realized, for though her Majesty was again indisposed on Friday the 4th, at dinner, in such a manner as to induce a belief that the time was at hand, yet it passed away, and ministers were condemned to remain in town during the ac customed period of relaxation. From the 14th up to Monday the Queen was better in health perhaps than the previous fortnight, with the excep tion of one evening last week, the alarm that arose from the announcement, by some of our contemporaries of Dr. Lo cock's being in attendance at the Palace night and day, be ing quite a mistake, and having no other foundation than the fact of a room in the Palace having been prepared for the doctor's reception in case circumstances should render his close attendance necessary. Such, however, was not the case, for though Dr. Locock slept several nights at the Pa lace previous to the birth of the Prince of Wales, he did not do so on the present occasion. Her Majesty was taken unwell about half-past one o'clock. Dr. Locock, Dr. Ferguson, and Sir James Clark, were im mediately sent ,for ' and after their arrival messengers were despatched to the Duchess of Kent, Sir Robert Petl, the great Officers of State, the Home Secretary, the Lord Chan cellor, and other great functionaries. Owing, however, to the delay, and to the very short time before the birth took place, being only three hours and a half from the moment the medical men were sent for, all the official personages were too late, with the exception of the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Steward of the Household. The rest remained at the Palace until the bulletin was issued, and then took their de parture. _ _ The only difference in the medical attendance on this occa sion from that at the birth of the Prince of Wales was, that the services of Mr. Blagden were dispensed with. At half-past two o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Al bert left Buckingham Palace for the Council-office, White hall, to attend a Privy Council. At the Council a form of prayer and thanksgiving for the safe delivery of the Queen was ordered in churches and cha. pels throughout England and Wales on Sunday next, the 30th instant. The bulletin issued on Wednesday says, that the Queen had passed an excellent night, and on Wednesday evening, her Majesty and the infant princess were both extremely well. The following is the form of prayer and thanksgiving to ALMIGHTY Goo issued on this occasion : " 0 Merciful LORD and heavenly FATHER, by whose gracious gift mankind is increased, we most humbly offer unto Thee our hearty thanks for Thy great goodness vouch. safed to Thy people, in delivering Thy servant our Sovereign Lady the Queen from the perils of childbirth, and giving her the blessing of a daughter. Continue, we beseech Thee, Thy fatherly care over her : support and comfort her in the hours of weakness, and day by day renew her strength. Preserve the infant Princess from whatever is hurtful either to body or soul, and adorn her, as she advances in years, with every Christian virtue. Regard with Thine especial favour our Queen and her Royal Consort, that they may long live together in the enjoyment of all earthly happiness, and may finally be made partakers of everlasting glory. Implant in the hearts of Thy people a deep sense of Thy manifold mer cies, and give us grace to show forth our thankfulness by dutiful affection to our Sovereign, by brotherly love one towards another, and by constant obedience to Thy com mandments; so that passing through this life in Thy faith and fear, we may in the lite to come be received into Thy heavenly kingdom, through the merits and mediation of Thy Blessed Son JEsus CHRIST OUR LORD. Amen." EXCEEDINGLY GOOD, It will be remembered that the London Atlas newspaper has all along been the authority from whom the other jour nals throughout the nation derived their information regard ing "Benson's Patent Aerial Machine," about which so much has been recently written, and that in a strain which induced us to believe that some of the authors had very little doubt of the practicability of whisking through the clouds at double the rate of carrier pigeons. For ourselves, never having the slightest hope of getting skyward " on Henson's principle," we were doggedly sceptical on the subject all along, and very readily gave a place, in our paper of the 15th current, to the jeu d'esprit of our friend " MIRGE GEOLIS of Mittlelill," iu ridicule of the aerial romance. Our readers may judge of our surprise, and may laugh as heartily as we did, if they can, when we discovered that the Atlas of Saturday last treated the ascent from Dumbuck Hill as a bona fide affair, giving all the details of the " Regius Professor," with a solemnity of countenance inexpressibly amusing. In introducing the account of the flight, our metropolitan contemporary, with lamb-like simplicity, writes as follows : " EXPRRIMENTAL TRIP OF THI.: AERIAL MACHIN'? " An account has been forwarded to us from Scotland of an experiment tried a few days ago, near Glasgow, with a machine constructed on the same principle as that of Mr. Henson. The experiment was made by a Professor Geolls, a foreigner, and but for an accident, it appears that it would have established the principle contended for, viz., the capa bility of navigating the air. Not wishing, however, to make any misrepresentation upon the point, we give the particulars rota a narrative drawn up by Professor Geolls himself. The Professor, after stating that he constructed his machine in exact accordance with Mr. Henson's specification, and that he had paid great attention to all the circumstances connected with the flight of birds, says he fixed upon the hill of Dumbuck, near Glasgow, for the trial. He then proceeds thus :—" The Atlas here quotes the greater part of the account of the voyage, not forgetting the exact description of the launch mg of the machine from Dumbuck Hill, on the Ist of April when the car was entered, and the dagger struck 3 h. 38 m J 9 secs." As our contemporary proceeds with the accoun of the "foreign professor," the matter becomes irresistibl] ludicrous. Nothing is omitted which could interfere will the most perfect understanding of the whole details, such foi example as the " depressing of the tail," " the stopping of :he fanners," and " the shattering of the bamboo stretchers," while "bang went three of the steam-pipes at the same nstant." Then came the critical moment, when the machine feeling its equilibrium altered " by this untoward event, 'surged considerably, and the remaining pipes necessarily 'ollowing the example of the others; fizz,—bizz—whizz— may they went one after the other, while she toppled over nd over into the sea!" The Atlas concludes as follows : " It appears that the Commander of the steamer [Tartar nd Nl`Commodore's Admiral] had sent a boat to the assist nce of the intripid experimenter, and saved him, but the machine was lost." Since the above was in type, we perceive that the Morning Herald, taking the Atlas as the great authority for flying, gravely copies, at full length, its account of the aerial voyage of our correspondent, Professor Geolls. Such a parcel of April fools we have never before heard of. The Littlemill &avan may laugh at the gotuks.7 7 Glasgow Paper. DOMESTio THE IliocoET.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice that on the Bth of May he would make the financial statement. Loss OF AN OYSTER DREDGING BOAT AND FOUR LlVES.—Extract of a letter from Mumbles, dated Saturday, April 22:—A. lamentable oecurren,e has just taken place here. One of the oyster fishing boats, in proceeding to the ground in the offing, for the purpose of dredging for oysters, was overtaken by a sudden squall of hail, which hove the boat down to the water's edge and filled her with water. The crew (four in number) were all drowned. Two were married, and have left widows and fourteen young children to bewail their sad fate. _ _ ------ SowsAmntmism.—A young man, named Reeves, engaged a bed at the Punchbowl Inn, Horsham, and after taking his supper retired to rest.

The next house nearl oined, and from the marks on the wall it appeared as if he had descended a short distance with his bands and knees, and then fell. The poor fellow, who was subject to walking in his sleep, had not the slightest recollection of the occurrence until he found him self in the yard.

NON-INTRUSION.—No man laboured with a purer mind, and a more unclouded intellect, and a greater devotion of his pecuniary resources, after what was considered n perfect mo del of Church government, than the late Mr. Robert Hal dane. Few men had more deep insight into, and experience of, the working of the popular and religious mind in such matters, deprived of effectual check, than that eminent indi vidual. The Church of Scotland has known him for many years as her intelligent and able supporter, as many of her sons knew him as the chosen friend and adviser of her late accomplished champion, Dr. Andrew Thomson; and we think the fact should be generally known, that this able and disinterested man, lying on his death bed, within these few months, calmly waiting his glorious change, stated, " I wish it to be known that I am no NON-INTRUSIONIST.”—Lon don Paper. SHOCKING DEATH. — On Saturday, a woman, named Steward, wife of a clerk in the bleaching establishment of Messrs. Nicholson, at Donaghclony, went to the mills tc get some clothes beetled._ She was accompanied by het daughter, a child about five years old. The child incau tiously left her mother to look at some of the wheels attached to the beetles, when, on approaching too near the machinery, she was drawn in and literally beaten to pieces. Both her arms were cut oft. Her death was instantaneous. The dis tracted mother, on seeing the condition of her child, ran to her assistance, when she would have shared the same fate but for the timely assistance afforded by some workmen. She was drawn from the wheel, her dress having been torn off; her thigh was shockingly lacerated, and she received some sever?, bruises on the body. The puor creature lies dangerously ill.—Belfast Whig. SHOCKING OUTRAGE.—On Thursday last an industrious poor mail named Lyons, and his wife, residing near Bally hooley, were dragged, out of bed by a set of miscreants who beat them into a state of insensibility, and then like demons poured vitriol on their faces and other parts of their bodies, the effects of which were a restoration to consciousness, and the most agonizing torments. They left their unfortunate victims in this deplorable state, after rifling the house of £3, all the poor people possessed in the world. The poor wo man's eyes being totally burned away by the vitriol, and her skull fractured—there is no hope.of her recovery. The man is not quite so bad, although shockingly injured. Two fel lows are taken on suspicion. It appears that poor Lyons was a skilful person in the management of some process in milling or combing of wool, and was about to be employed by a gentleman who has got up some such mill in Ballyhoolev ; hence proceeded the dreadful malevolence of those human demons for his destruction.—Cork Constitution. EXECUTION.—At Monmouth, on Monday last, Edward Rees underwent the last punishment of the law for the mur der of the daughter of a respectable cottager at Chepstow. At eleven o'clock the culprit partook of the sacrament, when he acknowledged the justice of his sentence. He was then pinioned and conducted to the scaffold, on his way to which he shook hands with the few persons assembled in the gaol, saying, " Good bye, God bless you ; I shall soon be in glory." He passed through the lodge, and ascended the stairs leading to the roof, where the drop was constructed, and stepped lightly on to the scaffold. When the rope had been adjusted, he addressed the multitude at great length, urging them to take warning by his fate and to shun evil company. He then again shook hands with the governor of the gaol and the ex ecutioner. The cap was pulled over his face, and as he heard the bolt withdrawn he made a grasp at the rope with both hands, which the executioner was obliged to remove. He struggled for a considerable time, and the crowd, who from the moment of his appearance had conducted themselves with seeming propriety, and listened attentively to his ad dress, began quietly to disperse. After hanging the usual time, the body was cut down, and is'to be interred this even ing within the walls of the prison. litisti CENSUS FOR 18.11—The following is a return of the population in Ireland in 1841 : Leinster..

This extremely reduced rate of increase is s very remarkable and extraordinary fact. It is evident that during the last 10 years there has been a very decided check to the progress of poptilation in Ireland. The increase in England during the 10 years from 1831 to 1811 was 2,004,794, which was more than 1-17th upon the population of 1831.

About 15,000 persons were present. The Protestant party, to the number of about 3,000, also assembled, apart from the former body, in order to show to the English public that the Protestants of the North have not joined the priests. Resolutions proposed by the principal inhabitants of the district were then passed at the meeting of Protestants, and the repeal meeting shortly broke up. Soon after a riot took place at the grave-yard, into which a body of Repealers had thrown themselves, and attacked a body of Protestants, who were passing through Abbey-lane, with stones, which were provided in heaps for the purpose. The Protestants now got the worst of it, as the Repealers resorted to stones, with which they pelted their opponents without mercy. Here much serious injury was done on both sides, and in a few minutes the apothecaries' shops were filled with bleeding patients. One unfortunate man, named M'Caffrev, a shoe maker, was stabbed in the belly, or rather had his bowels ripped up with a knife; the poor wretch fell, and was tram pled over by the combatants. Two of the Protestant party had their skulls fractured, and several were severely wounded. M'Caffrey was carried into a house, and received the prompt aid of Dr. Thompson, who most humanely ac com p an i e d Mr. Smith, a magistrate, to the house in whi c h h e was l a id .

The report stated that the subscriptions for the year amounted to £12,338. Touching the legality of the Art-Union of London, the report said, " no one will venture to say it infringes, in any degree, the spirit of the laws passed ' to protect the unwary against fraudulent schemes of gambling, set on foot by interested persons'—of laws wisely interposed between artful adven turers, who had unjustly and fraudulently gotten to them selves great sums of money' (such are the words of the act, 12th Geo. II.) • and unwary victims, who, by yi e ldi ng t o t h e temptations offered, had been ' the utter ruin and impover ishment of their families.' As regards the letter of the laws, the question has been set at rest by those well qualified to give au opinion." The report further stated, that " last year 269 pictures and one piece of sculpture (a list of which was printed) were purchased at the cost of £10,036 95., being £1,136 9s. more than the amount apportioned for that purpose by the society. In the whole, it is supposed that nearly 100,000 persons visited the rooms. The amount set apart, after payment of the necessary expenses and sufficient reservation for the preparation of engravings and medals, was £B,OOO, and would be allotted as follows :—Fifty works of art, value £lO each ; thirty of £l5 ; forty of £2O ; twenty eight of 1:25 ; twenty-three of £3O ; eighteen of .£4O; twelve of £5O; ten of £6O; eight of £7O; six of £80; five of £100; two of £150; two of £200; one of £300; and one of £4OO. To these were added twenty bronzes of Sir Richard Westmacott's Nymph and Child, and thirty medals of Chantrey, making in the whole 286 works of fine art. To save time, the medals were allotted to the first thirty names di awn consecutively at the close of the distribution. IMPORTANT CASE.—An information laid by the officers of Customs against William Darling Hay, of Newcastle, was heard last week by the Mayor. The information was laid under the 5 and 6 Victoria, c. 92, entitled "An Act to per mit, until the 31st of August, 1845, wheat to be delivered from the warehouse, or any vessel, duty free, upon the previous deposit of flour or biscuit." By this act the officers of customs having charge of any warehouse in which wheat may be warehoused are empowered to deliver any quantity of wheat, duty free, upon the previous deposit of flour or biscuit; that is, for every 961 b. of kiln-dried wheat, or 1001 b. of wheat that is not kiln dried, there shall be substituted not less than 961 b. of fine flour, or 681 b. of captain's biscuit, or 801 b. of navy biscuit, or 1181 b. of common ship biscuit, and so in proportion for a less quantity. The biscuit or flour so deposited is not allowed to be taken out again for home con sumption, but may be exported, or used for ships' stores. The act provides. that if any parcel or package tendered to be so deposited, and purporting to contain such flour, shall thereupon or thereafter be found to contain flour other than the best wheat flour, or purporting to contain biscuit of any of the several qualities b eforementioned, shall coutain biscuit of inferior quality, or be found to contain any other article than ship biscuit, every such package shall be forfeited, and a penalty of 5/. may be recovered for every quarter of wheat for which the same was intended to be substituted. In regard to the defendant, Mr. flay, it appeared that in Janu ary last he had tendered a certain quantity of biscuit to be deposited under the act, and asked for the delivery from the warehouse of a given number of quarters of wheat duty free. He had previously, since An gust, when the act came into operation, availed him se lf of its provisions, and the quality of his biscuits had never been called in q uestion. But some of the biscuits, which had b een sent to London for ships' stores, having been seized in the Thames as inferior, the Board of Customs issued strict injunctions to the officers here to be more particular as to the quality of the article deposited with them in future. When Mr. Hay gave the proper notice in January fur obtaining wheat in exchange for biscuit deposited, th e article tendered was carefully examined by the officers, and the quality of the biscuit was compared with certain samples sent down by the Board of Customs. The officers considered both the Captain's biscuit Ind the navy biscuit inferior, and reported the circumstance o the Board, who ordered the present prosecution. The tontradictory nature of the evidence caused considerable loubt on the minds of the magistrates, and the defendant , eing entitled to the benefit of that doubt, the bench decided .1 his favour, thus acquiting him of the charges brought - • t figams h im. fh kiatorclay 14st the Mil 0044 0114 rims bttwan Tinto and Southampton was upset about two miles from this latter town, and the coachman, bailiff undermost, was killed on the spot, his head being literally split in two. MRS. WOOD, ALIAS LADY WILLIAM LENNOX.—The York Courant of Thursday contains the following:—" A paragraph is at present going the round of the London and provincial papers stating that Mrs. Wood has returned to her husband's residence at Woolley-moor. This we are en abled and authorised to say is not correct. Mrs. Wood has left the convent near Micklegate-bar, in this city ; but, in stead of returning to her husband, she has retired to a small secluded cottage near Barnsley, where she intends to pass the remainder of her life, free from the cares and anxieties of the world, in order that she may have more leisure to devote he: self to the duties of religion. We are also informed, on the best possible authority, that since Mrs. Wood's conver sion to the Roman Catholic tenets, she has not acknowledged, and cannot recognise or consider Mr. Wood as her husband, the church to which she has allied herself not allowing of any divorce ; and, therefore, that she at the present moment considers herself in strict equity as Lady William Lennox ; and under these circumstances, as we have just stated, she never can again associate with Mr. Wood. She would not have left our convent, but she could not be allowed to join the sisterhood so long as her husband survives. What she may do in the event of Lord William Lennox's death, of course we are not in a position to say." With reference to the above the following letter appears in the Wakefield Journal:—" Sir,—ln answer to a paragraph in the York Courant of this day, I beg to state that Mrs. Wood is now at her home at W oo ll ey -moor. In thus troubling you I a actuated by two mo ti ves — first, a desire to bury in silen e the painful circumstances to which that paragraph alludes ; and next, to assure my friends that my wife is now at home, I hope in the enjoyment of that happiness which I feel it to be not less my duty than my pleasure to afford her.—l am, sir, yours truly, JOSEPH WOOD.—Woolley-moor, April 20, 1843." THE TARIFF AND FOREIGN MEAT.-At the meeting of the Dumfries agricultural association last week, Mr. Pagan, who is described as an extensive cattle dealer in Liverpool, made the following somewhat humorous remarks on the new tariff beef. " He was sorry times had been so bad for the farmer, There were several causes for this. Among others, was the depression of the manufacturing interest, which led to a diminution of consumption ; and the great supply of stock, stimulated by a series of good years. But he was not one of those who despaired. As for the operation of the tariff, he had seen no reason to change his mind. He never could believe it would seriously hurt our farmers ; though it had done them some hurt in the first instance by the panic it had caused. Only look at the importation of cattle for the last six months. Why, it had been injurious to all who had tried the trade : and absolutely ruinous to some of them No such trade could be carried on, unless we were at famine prices ; and if we had really reached such prices, why then we might well be glad that we could import. John Bull was not easily pleased in his meat ' • and there were some things he would not ea t, however cheap they might be. Spanish cattle seemed to be a commodity of this kind. He would just tell the company the history of a cargo of cattle from Spain :—He knew a person in Liverpool who imported seven of them. He killed two of them, and lost £3 a head. This would riot do. So he sent the other five on to Manchester, and his loss was two pounds less. They were bought by a water-drinking, and therefore clear-beaded, tee-totaller. who had them killed. The thing would not do —it was a dead loss. Mortified and vexed, our worthy tee totaller burst through his pledge ; and ten days thereafter was found out by his friends in some place or other, broken down with dissipation, and—with Spanish cattle ! (Laugh ter,) As the quality of the commodity, try your grinders on a piece of bend leather, then speak of Spanish bullocks! Nor had he (Mr. Pagan) any fears from the importation of Salted meat. They might bring it from the Brazil, or they might bring it from Canada ; but he could bring it from Ireland just as cheap, and five or six times better. No, no; he was not afraid of that sort of thing. He believed more could be gained by exporting from this country, than ever could be gained by importing into it. He trusted they would all live to see he was a true prophet : and that this Society would all help the fulfilment of his phrophecy." gPbtpplllg illttlltgalre. TUESDAY, Aram 28.—Wind W.S.W.

Market quiet, but steady. COTTON MARKET, APRIL Tne C tton market has relapsed into a dull and tame state, yet the dttft amount of business is considerable, averaging 45 00 to soon ha es a day, at prices on a par with last week, but the minket is too ell supplied to give any improved tone at present. L VERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 25. Sin .e Tuesday last the arrivals into this port, coastwise and f om Ireland, are on the whole comparatively very mo dera e, except Malt, of which the supply is rather liberal •, whi t 800 qrs. of Oats comprise the only fresh import of Gr in from abroad: reaction in the course of last week in several of the lead it • markets of the interior, which, receiving their supplies ainly direct from the growers, appear to interpose a barrier gainst any extensive intercourse between them and the places of importation ; this, combined with the decline in London yesterday, imparted a further depressing effect upon the trade here this morning: we have consequently to repeat extreme difficulty in the disposal of any kind of Wheat beyond a very limited amount, and even that to needy buyers alone, at an abatement upon all qualities of 2d. per 701bs. from the currency of this day se'nnight. Flour was taken off sparingly ; and English and Irish, as well as States and Canadian, were the turn cheaper. The Malting season having closed, and Barley of all de scriptions nearly without enquiry, remained nominal in value ; prime Malt, on the contrary, was saleable at former prices. Beans and Pease continued to be neglected, and barely sustained our last quotations. The Oat trade was languid, but fine qualities of this grain being scarce, the terms of last week were supported. For Oatmeal the holders appeared unwilling to accept lower prices, but were eventually obliged to Submit to a de cline of from 3d. to 6d. per load, at which sales to a mode rate extent were effected.
