MENAI LIGHT-HOUSE.—A light is now exhibited in the tower at the north-end entrance of Menai Straits, from sun rise tb sun-set. It is visible from N.W. W. seaward to the opposite point of the compass, except where the intervention of Puffin Island eclipses it. It is a stationary light, of a red Colour. THE WESTMINSTER ABBEY FESTIVAL—II is said that the proceeds of the late festival amount to £5OOO. Bochsa has started on a provincial tour, accompanied by Cinti Damareau, Curioni, and Giubilei, as vocalists. He has secured the services of Doebler at 60 guineas per week. Thalberg intends to pay another visit to London next year. He afterwards proposes to go to St. Petersburgh, and then retire from the profession. Another rise of five per cent, in wages has taken place in the iron works throughout Wales, being the third increase, amounting to nearly 25 per cent, within the last 12 months. It is rumoured that a new and distinct uniform will be given to the deputy-lieutenants of counties; the uniform they now wear is entirely military. Mr. William Cotton was elected, on Wednesday, a Direc tor of the Bank of England, in the place of the late Mr. Mellish. Six persons were killed at Coryton, a village about seven miles from Tavistock, by the bursting of a cannon which one of them was firing on the 28th. It is said that the exportation of machinery for flax and woollen manufactures by way of Hull to the Continent is very great, and continually increasing. INSANlTY.—According to Parliamentary returns, says Sir W. Ellis, "there are in England 12,668 pauper lunatics; and the insane alone, including the different classes of society, cannot be estimated at fewer than 10,000;" that is to say, about one person in every twelve hundred! BIRMINGHAM AND LONDON RAILWAY.—We hear that the 10th of September is the day fixed for opening the whole of the railway line between this town and London.—Birming ham Advertiser. PEDESTRIAN ISM.—On Tuesday, a person named John Dicks, a travellina timber merchant, undertook, for a small wager, at Hoyland, near Barnsley, to gather 101 stones, a yard a-part, in fifty minutes, which task he accomplished in forty-six minutes; and on Monday, be ran from Hoyland to Sheffield Old Church, and back again, a distance of twenty miles, in two hours and fifty minutes. SPIRITED CONDUCT OF A. LAD.—As a young lass, about 15 or 16 years of age, was returning home from the corona tion festivities on Thursday evening, it being then about 12 o'clock, on her entering the Ellaud wood, about 250 yards from the toll-bar, she was seized by an elderly, but athletic, Irishman, who was actually tearing her clothes from her per son, and partly by threats—partly by persuasion—was endea vouring to inveigle her to the water-side for the most in famous purpose. Her screams brought to her assistance a. young man about 20 years old, who, without considering the personal disparity between himself and hi s o pp onen t, with a single blow of his fist levelled the brutal ravisher to the ground, where he pummelled him severely, and then taking the lass under his protection, conducted her safely to the re sidence of her parents at Elland Edge. We understand the name of this spirited youth is Hulke, the son of a wood turner, residing at Huddersfield.— Leeds Intelligencer. GLOUCESTER, JULY 4.—A public dinner, on a scale un precedented in this city, was given to Mr. H. I'. Hope, its excellent Conservative representative, yesterday, in order to mark the sense which the electors entertain of the treatment he has experienced from the Gloucester liberals, in vexati ously petitioning against his return, and to prove their at tachment to the principles which he maintains. The festi val was held in an appropriate and picturesque situation near the city, under an immense tent, and the arrangements were most perfect. The reception of Mr. Hope was enthu siastic in the extreme. Nearly 1,000 persons, mostly electors, were present; and a determination was evinced to return two Conservatives at the next election, which can be done with perfect ease. This course the " Liberals" have provoked. W. Cother, Esq., presided; Mr. Hope, Mr. Baker, Mr. Tyre, Mr. Hallewell, and several other gentlemen spoke with much force and effect. The increase of Conservative feeling in this city is scarcely paralleled. SHARSPEARE.—A novelty, we understand, is shortly to be fertheonsing, at the English Opera-house, which is likely to create a great sensation. This novelty is neither more nor less than a dramatic sketch, which is said to be written by a direct descendant of Shakspeare. The period of this drama is in the reign of Elizabeth. 'T he immortal bard is introduced, and the author of the sketch, whose name is stated to be William Shakspeare, is to personate the character of his great ancestor. We understand, that, only a few days ago, Mr. Shakspeare addressed a letter to Mr. Peake, the manager of the English Opera-house, stating the fact of his having written the drama in question, and expressing his desire to perform the principal part himself. Ihe name alone had a charm sufficient to induce Mr. P. to wait upon the stranger, to hear him read his drama, and the result is, that the public will shortly have an opportunity of forming an opinion of its Merits, and of the author, as an actor. Mr. Shakspeare's person is said to be good, and his voice melodious : the form of the brow, and the general features, are also said to bear $ strong resemblance to the various busts of his illustrious ancestos.—London Paper. A PRESENT FROM A KING TO A QUEEN.—We were favoured, yesterday, with a sight of the truly beautiful Vic toria hat, manufactured by Carl King, and intended to he presented to the young Queen of England. It is now com pleted, after a labour of three months, and Mr. King intends to send it out in the return voyage of the Sirius, to show Britannia's Queen what Yankee girls can do. James Gordon Bennett, Esq., is to be specially delegated to present it to her Majesty in person. The hat is made of June grass which grew at Franklin, Massachusetts. This grass springs up about June, in uncultivated fields, and shoots out about four or five top blades. These latter are plucked whilst very young, dried, bleached, and braided as soon as possible, and they form the finest braid in the world. This hat contains 320 yards of braid; there are four stitches to an inch ; con sequently, the hat contains 46,080 stitches : it occupied three months in perfecting, and will be sent to the Queen without trimming.—New York Paper. " SEARCHING THE WlLL."—Lesley, the man whose frauds upon Dulton, an ignorant countryman, living in the neigh. bourbood of Warrington, have already been related under this title, wagon Tuesday tried at Knutsford, for obtaining money under false pretences, and sentenced to transportation for seven years, the full term allowed by the act, PROTESTANT CONFEDERATION.—The anniversary meet ing of the membevs of that loyal and constitutional body of our countrymen—the Grand Protestant Confederation, took place on Monday last at Sheffield, in the Lodge, so ably and respectably presided over by Brother Joseph Holmes. De putations attended from Warrington, Rochdale, Bury, Atherton, Prescot, Ecclesto n , and other towns in the county of Lancaster. The general business of the grand lodge was transacted, and the most satisfactory reports were received from all parts of the kingdom of the prosperity of the institu tion, and the accession of members. The nature and objects of the society being the support of our glorious constitution in church and state, it is not to be wondered at that it should thus be so rapidly and permanently on the increase. The principles which guide, and the feelings that actuate its members in the discharge of their duty, namely, loyalty and attachment to our excellent reformed religion and throne based upon it, con f or m and strengthen those impressions which lead to an unabated attention to their support and pre. serration. "JUSTICE" OF THE DISSENTERS.—The dissenting organs before the House of Com of the newspaper press are already declaiming against the to prevent vestry meetings the Vestries in Churches Bill nosy MORS. The object of this bill is in parishes where the population exceeds one thousand f rom being held in the vestries of churches, and since the bill came from the Lords, clauses have been added to it, auth or i s i ng the inhabitants, if they shall see fit, to erect other places • convenient for the purpose of parochial meetings out of a rate to be laid for that purpose, or out of the poor rates. This measure is complained of as interfering with the scruples of the dissenters; and on what ground does the reader think ? Because, forsootb, this is a measure to obviate the scruples of churchmen, and because the funds to be raised for the pur kese will in some measure have to be paid by dissenters. Why, do these ingrates already forget that churchmen, who pay three times as much in poor rates as the dissenters, have in this ratio to contribute to the relief of the "scruples" of the dissenters in the Registration and Marriage Acts, all the local expenses of which are defrayed out of the poor-rates! Let this fact be borne in mind, and then it will be difficult to affirm that there is any hardship in the proposed plan. Leeds Intelligencer. SEDUCTION.—In the county court yesterday week, an ac tion was brought by a man named Taylor, from Gale, a town ship between Bury and Rochdale, to recover damages from %young man, named Edward Kershaw, for the seduction of ' Sarah Taylor, his daughter.

Our advices from Madrid bring the news from that capital down to the 28th ult. The Queen's arms had sustained a re verse on the 20th at .Amaya, on the confines of Palencia and Burgos, under the orders of Colonel Losada, by the Carlist chieftains Carrion and Modesto. Losada lost the greater part of his cavalry, which consisted of 150 of the soldiers re viewed by her Majesty a short time ago on the Prado. Bal maseda was actively engaged in the latter province in organ ising Carlist recruits. Colonel Rodriguez was still in pursuit of this chief; but no information of his proceedings had reached Madrid. The arbitrary proceedings of Baron de Meer are stated to have disgusted several of the officers serving under him, and Generals Pastor, Ayerbe, and Grases, are reported to have thrown up their commands in consequence of the Baron's proceedings towards the National Guards of Catalonia. A letter from Tolosa of the Ist inst., reports, that the new Carlist Commander-in-chief, General Marotto, had entered on his functions, commencing by effecting an entire re-or ganisation of the army. A large force has been posted in the outskirts of Estella, to observe and check the movements of Espartero. The head-quarters of Don Carlos were still at Elorrio on the Ist inst. The Carlists have again occupied Penacerrada. The villages were full of wounded soldiers of the Christinos army; in three alone were 800, of all ranks. Don Carlos was continually receiving large sums of money by way of Bayonne. DENMARK. Letters from Copenhagen of the 26th June state, that the Emperor of Russia had arrived there that day on board the Hercules steamer; but finding the King absent he started immediately for Elsinore, where the Hereditary Grand Duke was to arrive the same day. PRUSSIA. Letters from Berlin of the 27th ult. state, that the cholera had reappeared there. Other letters, however, attribute to the sudden and violent changes of the weather and temper ature, which always occasions inflammatory diseases, the many sudden deaths that bad positively occurred. SARDINIA. The rumoured insanity of the King of Sardinia is contra dicted, but it is stated, that his Majesty is threatened with a relaxation or a dissolution of the brain. FRANCE. Descriptions of the English coronation ceremonies, trans lated from the London newspapers, with many original let ters from French gentlemen now in this country, occupy the greater part of the Parisian journals received during the present week. The friendly and complimentary reception of Marshal Soult appears to have excited a reciprocal feeling of kindliness in Paris. This, at any rate, is one good effect of the late festival. The usual sums have been voted by the Chamber of De puties for the celebration of the "Three Days of July." The Doctrinaires have declared open war against the mi nistry, in a pamphlet written by Duvergeir de Hauranne; in which it is attempted to prove that Louis Philip's cabinet is made up of men destitute of principle and talent, who maintain themselves in the Chambers by corruption alone. EGYPT. The latest intelligence from Egypt is of a warlike charac ter; but it is said that the European diplomatists have strong hopes of preventing an open rupture between the Sultan and his powerful vassal. HUNGARY. Prince Metternich is said to be much perplexed by strong representations from Hungary against the encroachments of Russia on the Danube. The "freedom of the Danube" was a constant topic of discussion among all ranks in Hungary. PROCEEDINGS OF THE IRISH EXECUTIVE; MILITARY INVESTMENT OF THE NORTH; ILLEGAL ASSEMBLAGES IN THE SOUTH. Is it not an astonishing—a provoking thing, that this petit maitre Marquis of ours will not let the Protestants of Ire land be . quiet ? We have said it again and again that, but for the insolence of his despotic measures there would be no processions in the North—that but for the pretended alarm which insults men with unnecessary precautions which brings military force to bear on a people submissive to the laws, loyal to the Sovereign, and actively engaged in the virtuous pursuits of industry—there would be nothing what ever to justify even the suspicion of assemblages which the authorities condemn. But really when freemen are treated like slaves—when loyal m en are dragooned like rebels— when peaceful men are menaced and constrained as enemies, it is not in human nature tamely to submit to such wanton ill-usage—and we should not wonder if the Protestants of the North, driven to the wall by the injustice of the execu tive, were to band themselves again into Orange Societies, and rashly subject themselves to the penalties of the law, un der the idea of asserting their natural, legal, and constitution al rights. Doubtless, this is the very thing which our rulers desire ; and, sooth to say, they are taking the most effective way of obtaining their wish. The Bth Hussars have already marched to the investment of the north, and reached their quarters. The 17th Lancers leave Dublin for the same pur pose, marching in detachments, the first to-morrow—the se cond on Friday, and the third on Saturday. And all for what?—to put down illegal processions that have no exist ence—to crush the loyal and constitutional celebration of an event, the most glorious in the annals of empires—that event which gave religious freedom and civil rights, and an unrival led constitution to the British Empire—that event of which Mr Holmes, the able, the consistent, the unimpeachable liberal—the consummate lawyer, and the consistent advocate of Roman Catholic Emancipation, has said, and with refer ence to the Lord Lieutenant's Irish policy. : " I am not the advocate fur Gray's political opinions here, and I will say, as far as his demonstrations were not fur the purpose of offending any of the people, but of celebrating the anniversary of 1688—as far as his demonstrations were for showing his veneration for the revolution, I could not condemn them. I condemn these demonstrations as they led to unfortunate results. As to the revolution, I rejoice at it, and I rejoice the more that my Roman Catholic country men have lately, by an act of tardy justice, been enabled to participate with Protestants in the benefits of that revolution. From that revolution has flowed the liberty, the glory, and the prosperity of these countries. By it the resplendent sun of American liberty has been kindled; and I do trust that the revolution will have the effect of diffusing into every portion of the earth, and into all nations, the blessings af free thought, free action, under the empire of reason, of religion, and of law. And Ido say, if it was not for that revolution there would not be in the world such a thing at this day as liberty in its true sense. I say this more, that the editors of public prints who have done anything to depreciate the value of this revolution, assail that which every living being should rejoice in, he be Protestant or be he Catholic." It is, we say, for suppressing the celebration of such an event—and for crushing the principles coucording with it, that the military force of Ireland is annually poured into Ulster, and the powers of the constabulary are strained and abused in subservience to party political purposes. But whilst the Irish Executive is employing all this vigour beyond the law against the loyal and peaceful men of the North—how fares it with the Southern provinces and coun ties—what are their population about—and what precaution ary steps have the government taken for the preservation of the peace—for the security of life and property ? Already have Tipperary, Waterford, and Wexford taken their field days, with assemblages of from 50 to 100,(X)0 people, gathered together spontaneously (or only by orderjof the priests) without the sanction of any legal or recognised authority. Such assemblages, forsooth, the Lord Lieutenant deems to be legal, and Captain Drummond cherishes; and although the whole legal authority of the House of Lords has pronounced such meetings not only illegal, but unconstitu tional and dangerous, no step has been taken for their sup pression—no military demonstration has been made to over awe disaffection; and even the constabulary have had orders (as well as the soldiery present on one occasion), not to in terfere, nor even to use their offensive weapons to repel the attacks actually made on them. We have in the Freeman's Journal of this mot ning the report of "an immense anti-tithe meeting, on Copenagh Mountain," (in the county of Kil kenny,) held on Sunday last, after mass, which is thus de scribed by the special reporter of our cotemporary : "On the very summit were seated some hundreds of spec tators, while the field itself where the proceedings were going forward was completely occupied, at the lowest computation, by at least one hundred and fifty thousand men. A most im posing spectacle was presented by the appearance and de meanour of these people, for the most clad in the peculiar garb of the Kilkenny peasanty—blue cloth coats; here and there the Wexford men were observed by the gray frieze in which they were habited ; Kildare and Carlow were also re presented by hundreds of the hardy peasantry, who had tra velled miles to signalize by their presence an unmitigated hostility and hatred to tit hes, which they had not un frequently denounced in theirown districts. An immense body of horse men flanked the meeting at either side, exhibiting the novel but gratifying spectacle of the small farmer, the wealthy gra zier, and the country gentleman, all in friendly communion, and all unanimous in their determination to do or die' for the total abolition of tithes. Standing on the pinacle of the hill, and sweeping the horizon with a glass, the gaze encoun tered groups of horsemen hastening along the roads, and hun dreds of pedestrians crossing the fields, or descending the mountains, which were rising one over the other within `ken."' Here is an illegal, an unconstitutional, a dangerous assem bly of 150,000 men, horse and foot —sworn, we are told, to "do or die" in opposition to the existing law ofLthe land, or any other which the legislature may choose to substitute for it, if not conformable to the will of the assembly ! What has our Marquis done to save the country from the perils of such an incipient rebellion ? Where be his forces, military or po lice, to act against a sudden outbreak of such bursting in subordination? They are drafted to the North, forsooth, lest the Orangemen should walk to church in bodies on the 12th of July—lest any orange lily should be seen in the windows of a Protestant in Ballibay or Tanderagee, on the day chosen for the celebration of the glorious Revolution ! And who are the persons that figure principally as ringleaders of the Kil kenny meeting ? Mr. Boyse, who was talked of for a peerage, in reward of similar services in 'Wexford; Mr. Peter Purcell, the Government mail-coachman; and Mr. Francis Hawshaw, a Justice of the Peace! We call upon the People and the Press of England to at tend to this state of affairs in Ireland? Will they permit the Irish Protestants to be treated as rebels—dragooned by mili tary—and forced into discontent ? and will they suffer that the disaffection of the Southern peasantry and their leaders, be fostered and cherished by the Government into open re bellion—and magistrates continued in the commission of the peace who head those illegal proceedings, and have afterwards to administer between the Protestant clergy and the disaf fected Papist peasantry, the laws of the land pertaining to church property? This appeal, we trust, will not be made in vain. LADIES' FASHIONS FOR JULY. CARRIAGE DaEss.--Robe of blue you de Soie, the border is trimmed with a single flounce.

Mr. PL UM PTRE moved the order of the day for the house to resolve itself into committee on this bill. Mr. JEr.vis said, be wished to know from the right hon. gentleman in the chair, whether it would be competent for him to move a clause in committee to prohibit the perform ance of all services on Sundays, this being entitled "A Bill for the Suppression of Sunday Trading." The SFEA K ER did not see why the hon. member should not move an instruction to extend the bill so as to include all la bour rendered for hire, in order that the cases to which he had alluded might be brought under its operation. Mr. H NIE felt bound to move as an amendment, that the bill be taken into consideration this day three months.—The house divided. The number were—For the amendment. 57, against it, 45; majority, 12.—50 the bill was thrown out. SHERIFFS' COURTS (ENGLAND) BILL. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved that this bill be read a third time. Its principal object was to bring within the ju risdiction of these courts all cases in which the amount under litigation did not exceed £5O. Their jurisdiction had been extended by an act passed some time since, and which had been found - to work so well, that it was now thought advisable to have a further extension. Mr. JERVIS opposed the motion. With respect to the work ing of these courts under the present law, which it was in tended to enlarge by this bill, he (Mr. Jervis) knew of his own knowledge, having been engaged in the appeal causes arising out of them, three cases in one county, with which he was acquainted, and the name of which, with all the particu lars, he was ready to mention privately to his hon. and learned friend the Solicitor-General, where an attorney being under sheriff practised under the name of another attorney in the court where he himself presided, and decided his own causes. —(Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned member then moved, that the bill be read a third time on that day three months. Mr. AGLIONBY seconded the motion. Mr. C. 1 I LLIFas and Mr. HARVEY supported the bill. Mr. Serjeant TA I,FOURD said his objection to the bill was, that there was no judge. (Hear.) Who would have sup posed that in the nineteenth century that house would be called upon to give new and additional powers to these courts without a judge? It had been stated, and he con curred in the statement, that of 100,000 cases tried in the courts, 80,000 were for sums under £5O. Now he would beg the attention of the house to another fact equally re markable, and that was, that out of 100,0(X) writs issued, the number of cases brought to trial in all the courts was some where about 3,0(X) in round numbers, the others being settled between the parties themselves, principally through fear of the expense of applying for rules, &c. The actions were. therefore, settled at once; and he believed this balance of cases not brought to trial would be found to be greatly id favour of the suitors. Capt. PECHEI.I. supported the bill. Mr. Serjeant JACKSON opposed the bill, agreeing with his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Serjeant Talfourd) that it would tend to encOurave litigation. If they wanted cheap judicatures, he would prefer such as they had in Ireland— namely, local courts, presided over by competent men. But he knew of no greater evil than the establishment of such a jurisdiction as this bill proposed, with power to try cases to the extent of £5O. The house then divided, when there appeared—For the third reading, 5-1; for the amendment, :23; majority, 31. The bill was the❑ read a third time. The SOLICITOR-GENERA L moved some verbal amendments to the body of the bill. A conversation then ensued on a point of form—namely, whether the Solicitor-General would consent to withdraw his amendments, in order to enable Mr. Jervis to bring up a clause to the effect that all actions for sums exceeding £2O should be tried by a barrister of three years' standing. The result was, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL would not consent to the intro• duction of the clause. The amendments were then agreed to, and the bill was passed. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL moved the committal of the bankruptcy court bill. . . Mr. GRIMSDITCH opposed the bill; the object of which he held to be to create a rovinc , commission. to go through the country for no possible benefit to parties interested in bank rupts' estates. Considering the bill to be so objectionable in its character, its whole machinery so badly contrived, and believing that the measure would work most vexatiously throughout the country, he felt called upon to move, as an amendment, that the bill be further considered this day three months. Mr. CRAWFORD said, that, remembering the benefits which had accrued under the change effected by Lord Brougham's measures with regard to bankruptcy commissions worked in the city of London, he was favourable to the principle of the bill. To some of its details, however, he could not give his assent, and particularly he objected to the expense it would entail upon suitors and creditors. Mr. M. PHILLIPS was of opinion, that the expenses which the bill would create were inadequate to any benefit which would arise to the public at large. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, the great object of the bill was the investigation of bankruptcy proceedings in the coun try. This he conceived necessary, from the fact that even in London, where, before the bill of Lord Brougham was passed, it was supposed the bankrupt laws worked well, it had been found that nearly two millions of money had been got in and made available to bankrupts' estates by the aid of official assignees—a fund which otherwise never would have been collected. By the inducement of the per centage given in town to official assignees, he repeated, that nearly 1:2,000,000 of money had been realized for creditors; and of this, full £16,000 consisted of debts between 40s. and £5. lf, then, the system had worked so well in town, he (the Solici tor General) had a right to assume it would work equally well in the country. Sir W. FOLLETT agreed with his hon. and learned friend in respect to the abuses which existed in London under the old bankrupt law, and the advantages which had resulted from the appointment of official assignees; and that it was desirable that the same system should be extended to the country. But the bill aid not do that. He should support the amendment. Mr. PEA SE said, that a measure of this kind was necessary in the country. As regarded the principle of the bill, and the necessity of inquiry, he concurred in support of it, though he was not prepared to say he approved of the machinery by which it was worked out. Mr. HAIt VE r said, the object of the bill was excellent, but the machinery had. As there was no pressing necessity, it would be better to postpone the bill, that it might undergo revision. Mr. A. YATES trusted that the Solicitor-General would accede to the suggestion of the honourable and learned gentleman who had just sat down, and postpone the bill till next session. He objected to inquiries into bankruptcies which had been wound up and settled 40 or 50 years ago. He objected also to the whole system of centralization contem plated by the bill, and he should certainly vote against it. Mr. BROTHERTON did not object to the hill itself, but was opposed to the discussion of so important a measure at so late an hour, and he therefore moved that the house do adjourn. Mr. H UME hoped that, after the debate had gone on so far, it might be brought to a termination. He hcped the Solici tor-General would attend to the suggestion thrown out by the hon. and learned member for Southwark. He had plenty ot' time to withdraw this bill, and prepare another more sim ple one. (A laugh.) The house then divided on the question that the Speaker do leave the chair:—Ayes, 37; noes, 28; majority for going into committee, 9. _ _ . The bill was then committed pro forma, and the house re sumed. Dr. :sTICHOLL having moved that the Vestries in Churches Bill he committed on Saturday next, Mr. HOME objected to proceeding with the bill on that day, and moved as an amendment that it be committed on the Monday following. After a short and unimportant con versation, the house divided, and the numbers were for the amendment, 32; against it, 23; majority, 9. A short conversation ensued, which terminated in the ques tion being put and carried without a division, that the house should go into committee on the bill on Thursday, pro forma, for the purpose of postponing it to some future day. The house then adjourned, at a quarter past one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—THunsonr. BEER. SHOPS. Lord Baord HA NI presented a petition, signed by WOO of the bankers, merchants, and tradesmen of Bristol, complain ing of the ill effects of the late beer act, and of the pernici ous effects produced by the numerous beer shops throughout the country. He stated that so convinced was he of the bane ful influence of the beer shops, and the encouragement they afforded to vice of every description, that he would present to the house a bill to repeal that beer act. The noble lord con cluded by laying on the table his bill, which would put an end to the operation of the beer act after the Ist of April next, and he moiled that the bill he read a first rime. The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was most desirable that an end should be completely put to beer shops. (Loud cheering.) Ile was doubtful whether such a measure could originate with that house. It would be better if it originated with the other house. But wherever it came from he would give it every assistan c e and su pp or t in his power, being thoroughly convinced that no greater evil had been done to this country than by the adoption of that measure. Lord BROUGHANI said he had listened with great delight to the observations of the noble duke. He considered that the sentence of death had gone forth against the beer-shops, and that it was only respited for forms which must be com plied with before it could be finally executed.—(Cheers.) This would be a sufficient notice to persons not to take li enses, and embark their capital in a vessel which was already sinking. Lord PORTMAN said the bill of his noble friend near him, and the avowal of the noble duke opposite, were the most gra tifying circumstances that ever happened.—(Hear, hear.) He should be highly gratified when the day came to get this nui sance to the labouring classes repealed. The Bishop of DURHAM and Lord ROLLE were most glad to hear what had fallen from noble lords on both sides of the house. CANADA. Lord ELLENBOROUGH• put some questions which led to a debate Lord RIPON, Lord BROUGHAM, and other noble lords spoke, after which the Duke of WELLINGTON rose, and was left speaking. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. The Speaker entered the house at four o'clock; but, there being only thirty-two members present ; the house stood ad journed. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. The Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill was read the third time; but on the question that it do pass some discussion arose (after amendments had been proposed,) and the debate thereon was eventually adjourned till Monday next. The Marquis of LoNnoN DERRY gave notice that he should take the sense of their lordships on the passing of this bill. On the motion of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, an address was agreed to for papers relating to the state of Canada. The Sheriffs' Court (Scotland) Bill went through commit tee. The Church Discipline Bill was brought in, and read the first time, after which their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. Mr. FIELDEN presented an immense number of petitions against the Poor Law Amendment Act. Lord DUNGANNON gave notice that, when it came to be moved, he should propose the discontinuance of the grant to Maynooth College. Lord J. RUSSELL (in answer to questions from the Marquis Of CHANDOS and Mr. HEIZItIEs) said that he should have no objection to produce lists of Lord Durham's appointments and the salaries as far as they were known—that Lord Dur ham had the fullest powers to act—that the executive council was appointed by his lordship agreeably to such powers—but that (without disputing the right) it would tend to embarrass his lordship if the forbearance of parliament was not extended to him for the present. The house, it was agreed, on the motion of Lord J. Rus- SELL (though only by 123 to 97, is to meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at twelve o'clock, to accelerate public busi ness. Lord J. RUSSELL deferred the Registration of Voters (Ire land,) Bill " till next session." Mr. HUME moved his resolutions regarding banks for savings, but they were negatived. Mr. GILLON moved an address, for an increase in the al lowances to the Duke of Sussex, so as to make them equal to those enjoyed by other branches of the royal family, Lord J. RUSSELL said, without entering into the merits of the different branches of the royal family, he must oppose this motion. Such a proposition could not originate in that hornie; it must originate with the recommendation of the crown, Sir R. PEEr, concurred in this view. After some discussion, the house divided on it. There were for the motion 48, against it 98, majority against it 50. The house having resolved into committee of supply, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved resolutions on the estimates to meet the " coronation expenses," the miscel laneous services, and for the commissariat, which called forth much desultory discussion, and occupied the remainder of the sitting. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—SATurtnAy. The house met to-day at twelve o'clock. A number of petitions on various subjects were presented by different members. _ _ On the presentation of a petition by Mr. PRING LE against the Scotch Royal Burghs Bill, Mr. F. MA lAA: said he would take that opportunity of giving notice that it was not his intention of proceeding fur ther with the Scotch Royal Burghs Bill during the present session, but next session he should bring in an amended bill on the same subject. SHERIFFS' COURTS (SCOTLAND). Mr. WALLACE inquired if the Lord Advocate had received the report respecting the complaint of Wm. Barr, Esq., alleging delays by the sheriffs of theupper w ar d o f th e countyof Renfrew in administering justice in their courts ; and if he had so received it, whether he had reported thereon to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. The LORD ADVOCATE said he had received a report of the inquiry into the subject referred to by his hon. friend, but he had not as yet made his report to the Secretary for the Home Department. The subject would not be lost sight of. He wished, however, to remind his hon. friend that the Sheriffs' Courts (Scotland) Bill now in progress would have the effect of putting a stop to such complaints in future. bill would prevent unnecessary delay in administering justice in the Sheriffs' Courts. PRISONS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill, com mencing with the 15th clause. Clause 15 was agreed to. On clause 1G being read, appointing a board for the general regulation of prisoners. Mr. Kt NNAIPD said he was of opinion there was no ade quate provision made for the appointment of borough magis trates to the general board. The Lord Lieutenant and sheriffs of counties were members of the board ex (dficio, and he thought borough magistrates ought to be also. Mr. CHA LMERS proposed an amendment to the effect that all lord provosts in Scotland should be ex officio members of the general hoard. Mr. F. M A CLE said he could not consent to the amend ment. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the committee divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 33 Against it Majority .. 2O The original clause was than agreed to. After a desultory conversation, clauses up to. 30 were agreed to. On clause 31 being read, Mr. HAWES objected to the clause on the ground that it gave the judges the power of setting aside the orders of the general board. He should divide the house on the clause. Mr. F. MA LE defended the clause. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place. Mr. HAWES withdrew his amendment, and the clause was agreed to. After a protracted desultory conversation, which lasted up wards of four hours, and related entirely to the alteration of words the various clauses were agreed to, and the house re sumed. Report on Monday. SUPPLY Mr. BERNAL brought up the report of the committees of supply, which was agreed to. The report on the Ashby-de-la-'touch small debts bill was brought up and agreed to. QUALIFICATION OF MEMBERS BILL. Mr. WAiinuitToN moved the order of the day for the further consideration of the report on the qualification of members bill. Sir E. SUG DEN said he was anxious to propose several alter ations in different clauses. Mr. WARBURTON thought the hon. member might with more propriety suggest his alterations on bringing up the the report. Sir E. SUGDEN stated his objections to certain descriptions of property giving a qualification. For instance, a house and furniture in the East Indies he did not think ought to give a qualification, as it would be impossible to ascertain its value before the time expired for petitioning against the return. He (lid not think either that property in the colonies ought to give a qualification. To property in mines or railroads within the United Kingdom the same objection did uot exist. Mr. WARBURTON said he gladly agreed to the alterations proposed by the hon. and learned member. After a few observations from Mr. BERNAL the report was agreed to be engrossed and read a third time on Monday. ARMS (IRELAND) BILL. The arms (Ireland) bill, after a tew observations from Sir R. FERGUSSON, Lord MonpErti, and Mr. Serj. JACKSON, was read a second time and committed. The report on the So uth Austr a lian act amendment bill was brought up and agreed to. COUNTY OF CLARE ADVANCE BILL. Lord MO R PLTII moved t he second r ea ding of the county of Clare advance bill. Mr. Serj. JACKSON said he was at a loss to know the object of the bill; perhaps the noble lord would state it. Lord MORPETH said he would not have moved the second reading of the bill to-day had it not been very pressing. The fact was, the treasurer of the county of Clare had failed to a large amount, and consequently there were no available funds to keep up the repairs of road, prosecutions, and other public business, connected with the county. The object of the bill was to procure the means of rai s i ng funds for public business in the county. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The house adjourned at ten minutes before five o'clock. CAPTURE OF TWO SLAVERS BY HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ROVER. BCO JANEIRO, APRIL 30.—Her Majesty's ship Rover, Captain Charles Eden, leftthis port far England on the 11th instant. It appears from the following extract from the letter of an officer in the above vessel that they were standing out to • clear the land, when the look-out man cried out • " a sail in sight, on the larboard quarter." To a question :from- the captain it was said to be a schooner with raking masts. The captain, on looking at her through his glass, thought her a rather suspicious-looking craft, and gave orderg - tw the first lieutenant to alter the ship's course and speak with the schooner. The schooner perceiving the Rover bearing•down on her, hauld her wind, altered her course, (this movement spoke volnmes,) and then hoisted every inch of canvass she could carry; but the Rover, being one of -the fastest sailing vessels in her Majesty's navy, gained upon her, and it was not long before she was within gun shot. The captain now ordered a gun to be fired to bring her to heave to, of which she took not the sligtest notice, but tried her utmost to get among the islands. Three guns were now fired, one ball passing near her cut-water ; this brought her to, when she hoisted Portuguese colours. A boat was lowered from the Rover, with twelve well -armed men, to board her, when they found, what they expected—she was a slave vessel Shewas from the coast of Africa, and had nearly three hundred slaves on board, in the most miserable condition. These poor wretches appeared much alarmed, but were soon comforted by assuring them we were friends. The crew consisted of eighteen men, the most ferocious-looking fellows imaginable, who were conducted on board the Rover, while twelve men and officers remained on board the prize. Captain Eden seized her papers and other documents, and returned in his gig to Rio, for the purpose of c o nd e mning her. In the course of the succeeding night (the vessels were sixteen miles out at sea) a storm arose, when the Rover parted from her cable and lost her anchor ; during this the two vessels parted company, and at daybreak were out of sight. The men on board the prize were in a very distressing situation, having a " cargo" of slaves, and but little provisions and water on board. The Rover went in search of the schooner, and in so doing fell in with another slaver. She was a small brigantine, with nearly the same number of slaves on board as the first one. Immediately the crew of this vessel espied the Rover, they took to their boats, not, however, until they had lashed the rudder, so that she might run on shore. On boarding her, not a soul was to be found but the poor blacks. It is thought that the crew of this vessel were Englishmen, from the several letters and papers found on board being in English. These rascals (lid well to run, for had they been caught they would have been run up to the yard-arm. The next day the three vessels entered the harbour. The other day we had not a single English man-of-war in the harbour, and now there are not less than eight, viz.: —Alli g ator, 28, Calliope, 28, Samarang, 23, hover, 18, Electra, 18, Brito mart, 10, Spey, 6, and Cockatrice, 6. The commander of the Calliope is Captain Herbert, a relation of the Pembroke family, and is very wealthy; he gives a grand ball this week to the whole of the higher class of persons here. STATE OF TRADE. • Leaps=—The markets since our last have been very good, the sates having been fully as extensive as in any week for some time past, and prices in a high ratio. The merchants' establishments are generally busy, and the workpeople pretty fully employed. BRADFORD MARKET.—The demand for goods, on Thurs day, was very brisk, and there was an average quantity of business done ; indeed, the extension of transactions was checked by the demand of the manufacturers for improved prices, especially in six-quarter merinos, both of figured and inferior qualities. In the yarn market prices were firm, and the demand good; and there was a fair business done in wool at former prices, which, however, manifest a tendency upwards. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, on Tuesday, was again a busy one, and extensive purchases were made, especially when they could be effected at former or slightly advanced prices. Wool was firm, and in fair demand. HALIFAX MARKET, on Saturday, was not quite so brisk as on some recent market-days; but there was a fair demand for goods, and prices were fully maintained. For fine last ings advanced prices were obtained, the supply not being equal to the demand. lIECKNIONDWIKE.—The blanket trade has not been so brisk for the last few market days as previously, and although the price of wool does not decline, blankets do not maintain the prices they ought to do. DEWSBURY BLANKET MARKET.—There was a rather bet ter demand for blankets and druggets at this market on Monday, but though prices were firm there was little or no advance. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET. JULY 6.—The demand keeps good for all combing wools, and the stock at market being light, we are enabled to make a further small advance on last week's prices. No alteration in low carding wools, which are in demand; the better qualities are still neglected. YORK WOOL MARKET, JULY s.—The supply of wool to this day's market has been the largest that has been seen on Peasholm Green for some years past. We have also had a many buyers, but the trade has been very languid indeed, and a large proportion remains over unsold. The conse quence has been, that lower prices have been submitted to, and the transactions of the day may be quoted at—For all hog, 16d to 17d; half hog and ewe, 14d to 151 d; all ewe, 13d to 14d; locks and cots, 7d to 9d per lb. DONCASTER WOOL. MARKET, JUNE 30.—Our wool market this day- presented an abundant supply of that commodity, nor was the attendance of purchasers less than at any,pre vious fair this season. There was a dulness throughout the trade, particularly in low qualities; and at the close some quantity remained unsold. A reduction took place, but of so trifling a nature, that our quotations of last week are sub joined.—Hogs, 19s 6d; hog and ewe, 18s; ewe, 16s; locks, 8s 64 per stone. We understand that Mr. Short, of Martin, sold a lot of very superior hog wool for 22s per stone; and Mr..J. Hutton, of Branton, some two-thirds hog and ewe at 20s 6d. HOPS.—EAST RETFORD, JULY s,—We have uo improve ment to report respecting the growing hops; on the contrary, there is a great accession of filth, and the fly is much mole numerous, besides, the honey-dew in many parishes is acting very injuriously upon the plant, so as to give occasion for fearing the smut. We are informed that the Crown Prince of Bavaria has been for some days incoy. in London. What is the import ant nature of his business ? Why is it that he did not honour the Coronation of our Queen with his presence ? Is he here on a matrimonial speculation, or has an instalment of the Greek Loan more attraction iu his eyes?—Post GREAT STORM AND FLOOD. (From the Manchester Guardian.) During Wednesday afternoon last, an extremely terrific thunder-storm, with an almost unprecedentedly heavy fall of hail and large pieces of ice, several inches in circumference, and followed by torrents of rain, passed over a considerable part of this county, a few miles to the north of this town; but from a number of our correspondents having omitted, in their communications, to notice the time of its commence ment and continuance, we arc unable to state the direction in which the storm passed from one point to another. We are not equally deficient in information as to the disastrous consequences of this conflict of the elements. In one or two places, persons have been struck by lightning. It is said, that at Lancaster one man was killed by it. At Preston, a man who was holding a crowbar received a severe shock, but escaped without serious personal injury; and at several places, cattle and birds were killed by the electric fluid. The hail, and large pieces of ice, of irregular form, had done great damage to gardens, conservatories, and to many facto ries and large works, especially to their sky-lights. In many places, scarcely a whole pane of glass has been left in the upper windows of large mills, &c ; and the damage, from this cause alone, in Rochdale, Bolton, Bury, and their neighbour hoods, will be very considerable. But the most serious loss of life, and the most extensive injuries to property, have been the result of the floods, produced in the small streams and rivers which take their rise in the hills north of Roch dale and Bolton. These seem to have been filled with fear ful rapidity, so that the bridges spanning them were soon swept down; and, in many cases, the great body of waters carrying away, before its resistless torrent, the banks of reservoirs and lodges of wate r , a pp ears t o h ave speedilyin undated the lower lands to a great depth, covering the hay fields, sweeping away the newly-cutgrass, and doing great in jury to buildings, machinery, and property of every descrip tion. It will be seen, from the following accounts from various quarters, that a number of persons have lost their lives ; the flood having overwhelmed them so rapidly ar to cut off all chance of escape. Near Barnsley in Yorkshire, 27 boys and girls were drowned in one coal-pit; three men were, in like manner, overwhelmed by the flood in a coal-pit in the neighbourhood of Rochdale; a boy was swept from a stable at Bradley, and drowned; another lad lost his life at Bolton; and a large number of cattle, sheep, and other ani mals, have perished. We subjoin such accounts as we have been able to collect relating to this disastrous and destruc tive storm.—ln this town and the immediate neighbourhood, but little, comparatively, of the effects of this tremendous storm were experienced Between half-past three and four o'clock, there was a thunder storm, and a very smart shower, which, however, was not ()flung continuance• The effect of the heavy rains pouring down the small streams tributary to the !Ewell was, however, to cause the most rapid rise of that river ever collected. Commencing about six o'clock on Wednesday evening, it continued risiug, till about nine o'clock, and then gradually subsided. It is stated that it rose at the rate of a yard and a half per hour for these three hours, being about four yards and a half above its usual level at nine o'clock. It overspread some fields in Lower Brough ton, and in some places the haymakers were to be seen busily engaged, knee deep in water, raking the green newly mown grass from the flood, which was fast sweeping it away. In other places, it was with difficulty that the cattle could be driven home; and a great quantity of new hay, and some live stock, are said to have been carried away by the flood. A chest of drawers was seen floating down the river. but its progress was arrested at 'l'hrostle Nest. At the old (now the Victoria) bridge, the workmen employed in laying the foundation for the abutments, had some difficulty in making their way good, before the flood came upon them. Near the New Bailey bridge, a body was seen floating, which, from its state of decomposition, is supposed to have been in the water for months, and 4o have been washed from the bed of the river, by the rushing action of the flood. ROCHDALE AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. On Wednesday last, this town was visited by one of the most terrible and destructive thunder storms which ever hap pened in this part of the country. The morning was ex tremely warm, and the atmosphere close and sultry. The stillness of the surrounding scene foreboded a tempest near at hand. About two o'clock in the afternoon, the most vivid flashes of lightning began to dart in quick succession from the dark clouds which obscured the face of the sky. Soon after, the rain began to fall in torrents, mingled with hail and large irregular pieces of ice. Some of the hail stones measured 1,1 inches in diameter, which would be nearly four inches in circumference. The sceptical may have some no tion of their size, when they are informed of the damage done to the factories in the town and neighbourhood. Messrs. Lomax had 8(X) panes of glass broken in their factory, the chief part of which were sky-lights; Mr. Henry Kersall, 1,850 panes in his factory, warehouse, and greenhouse; all the sky-lights, and many windows, in the new mill of Mr. Briefly, were broken; Mr. King, in Oldham-road, who had an extensive loom.shop attached to his factory, had 3000 panes broken; and so on, in proportion to the extent of his property, has every person suffered by this destructive storm. Several buildings were struck by the lightning. Mr. Smith's chimney, Cheetham-street, had an opening about four inches wide cut in it, without displacing the adjoining bricks. The belfry of Mr. Howard's factory, immediately adjoining, was struck by the electric fluid, but without doing any material damage, except displacing a few bricks and stones' A pigeon, when on the wing, was struck by the lightning, and fell life less into the street. The chimney at Messrs. Petrie's iron works received some damage front the lightning. But the worst yet remains behind. The storm had not raked an hour before the river rose to an alarming height. The Spodden, a small rivulet, which takes its rise between Whitworth and Bacup, and meets the river Roach about 2(X) yards below the town, bore every thing down before it by three o'clock. So sudden was its rise, that it enclosed half a dozen children and some men, who had gone into the field to watch it, before they were aware of their perilous situation. Retreat was im possible; the field was surrounded with water, and the ground upon which they stood every moment became narrower and narrower, till, at last, all was one sheet of water. The little urchins had now retreated into a thorn hedge, where their situation became truly painful. Every moment they were expected to be washed by the raging element from this last place of refuge. The most lively interest wasexcited for their fate by hundreds of spectators who witnessed the scene. Though property of every description came floating down the flood—barrels, planks, trees torn up by the roots, wool pieces, carts, skips, timber, &c., yet every one scented ab sorbed in the fate of these children. The water was at its highest a little before four o'clock, when it began to subside. At half-past four, a man plunged in on horseback, and brought the children to land by two at a time. The water, at the deepest part he had to cross, might be about a yard and a half. Every bridge from Whitworth to Rochdale has neen carried away by the flood. Messrs. Tweedale, at Broad ley, have suffered considerably front the destructive effects of the flood Their dye-works are situated on a brook called the Healey Hall Brook, which, shortly before one o'clock on Wednesday, contained scarcely any water. About one o'clock, however, the storm commenced with most terrific claps of thunder, and fearfully vivid lightning. It continued till about half-past two with but little intermission, accom panied by a storm of hail and pieces of ice of extraordinary size, which speedily destroyed all the windows in the upper floors of the works. The weight and pressure of the flood burst the bank of one of the lodges, and the whole force of the swollen stream coming against the. gas-house of the works, which was a small stone building, carried by an arch over the brook, and situated about a hundred yards higher than the dyehouse, actually uplifted it, and bore the building—con taining three retorts, weighing from 24 to 30cyrt. each—down the stream, and upon its surface, till it came in contact with the upper end of the dyehouse, which it struck with such force as to drive in part of the wall, thus giving entrance to the flood. The water speedily covered the lower part of the build ing, carrying all before it; and when it forced it way through the lower end of the building, it swept away before it about 130 bales and packs of wool, some of them weighing seven cwt. each. Mr. John Tweedale, his son, and eight or ten of the hands, were some time in a situation of considerable peril. They were in the drying stove, whence they made their way to a room, and Mr. Tweedale broke the window and called for help. A number of the hands outside at length succeeded, by means of planks, ropes, &c. in bringing them all safe out of the drying stove ; but when they landed them, they were neatly up to the neck in water. Four horses, in a stable, were with difficulty rescued; a man broke a window, and when he entered, he found the animals up to the shoulders in water. In a shippon adjoing this stable, a little boy, son of the cowkeeper, had crept for safety. He was heard scream ing, and some persons who were going to his assistance saw him attempt to catch at a pole ; but he was immediately swept down the stream, and drowned. His body has not yet been found. A large cart at the bottom end of the ware house was swept away ; a large boiler of ten horses' power, which stood outside the warehouse, was also carried away by the flood, and a stack of between 70 and 80 tons of hay, be neath a French barn. In the smithy of the establishment nothing was left but the stithy. A gietill quantity (probably 1;0 tons) of sawn inch and inch and half boards for flooring, which were piled in two large steers, were entirely swept away. Such were the force of the flood that must of the bales and packs of wool were burst ; and we believe only two or three whole bales have been recovered, and a very small quantity of the timber. About a hundred of the hands were engaged during Thursday in collecting the scattered property of their employers, but with little success. A gentleman named Cross, who was fishing in the brook, before the storm arose, was detained five hours before he'could cross it; and he states, that the. water rose at one point not less than four yards in twenty minutes! The old mill at Healey Hall Bottoms, which was used for finishing flannels, is stated to have been entirely carried away, as well as a number of small bridges across the streams in that neighbourhood. At the new mill of Messrs. James Schofield and Sons, at Buckley, near Rochdale, on the Hainerbrook, all the panes in the upper floor of the mill were broken, and a large, long, thick mall was washed down. At Belfield Hall, near Rochdale, at the print-works of Messrs. Benecke & Co. upwards of 200 panes of glass were broken by the hail, and part of the lodge bank was washed away. Several parts of walls were washed down at Makeant Mill, about three miles below Rochdale. At the fulling mill at Meauwood, belonging to Mr. James Gibson, a great quantity of pieces and dyewood were carried away by the flood. At Spotland Bridge, 200 yards lower on the same river, the whole of Mr. Whitaker's premises were swept away within less than two hours from the commencement of the storm. Three men stood for a long time on the steam en gine, surrounded by water. Mr. Whitaker is the greatest sufferer in the neighbourhood : his dyehouse, his warehouse, his stove, or dryhouse (the building where the wet flannels are dried after being dyed), his all, the labour of a life, are a wreck. This is not all ; , I(X) pieces of flannels, some in a finished, others in an unfinished state, together with a quan tity of wool and indigo, and other dye-woods, amounting to £BOO. were borne along by the raging torrent. Some cot tages adjoining these premises had the chairs and other fur niture driven through the windows by the flood. Above Mr. Whittaker's dyelsouse, a large and uncommonly firm bridge, of two arches, was nearly swept away. At this place the mischief was considerably increased by the passage being blockaded tip with large trees, which the water had brought down from Healey Hall Many barrels were washed away from the Spotland Brewery. Messrs. R. and Wm. Turner's mill, at Black Pits, about three miles from Rochdale, has also received considerable damage from the flood. Many others have had the lowest room in the mill or factory laid under water, and the machinery spoiled. In numerous in stances, mill dams and wears have been borne down by the flood, and fields of hay grass laid under water, and covered with sand or mud. Nothing like the extent of the injury is yet ascertained. Several lives have been lost. At a little distance from this place three men were caught in a coal pit, and had not time to escape from a watery grave. They re main yet buried in the pit. By three o'clock on the Thurs day morning, several cart load of pieces, wool, tubs, barrels, trees, and other articles were gathered up in the fields, near the Gas Works, which had been covered with water. Many of the pieces were torn into shreds, and so injured as to be or little value. The damage done within a few unites of Roch dale cannot be estimated at much less than 1;80,000. 'the is somewhat remarkable that, at two miles distant, on the southern side of the town, scarcely any rain fell; though the streets were six or seven inches deep in water, and had all , the appearance of a river for nearly an hour. 'l 'he greatest part of the rain fell between Whitworth and Rochdale. At Lit tleborough, Heywood, and Middleton, there was a scarcely a shower. ROSSENDALE. The mill of Mr. Richard Ashworth, of Coupe, near New church, was almost wholly destroyed by the flood; only the gable end, it is said, being left standing. In the mill were about twenty bales of unfinished goods, ready made up, which were all swept away by the flood. BURY AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. On Wednesday last, the town and neighbourhood of Bury were visited with a tremendous storm of thunder and lighten ing, accompanied by - such heavy showers of rain and.bßil, that the brooks and rivers of the district rose to the hei4bt of six or eight feet above their usual Jevel, in the short s i eace of from thirty to forty minutes . . Tice !urctlrirger; Floy f Q§ hung unusually low in the atmosphere, immediately over the town, and the vivid flashes of lightning, and the heavy peals of thunder followed each other in rapid succession. Great da mage has been done to the property in the immediate vicinity of the rivers Roach and Irwell, as well as to that on the banks of their numerous tributary mountain streams, and great quantities of wreck were borne on their surface under the arches of Heap Bridge, Blackford Bridge, and Bury Bridge. At Ramsbottom, in the immediate vicinity of Messrs. Ashton's extensive works, a box of candles, a chest, of drawers, a table, and various other articles of furniture and timber were taken out of the stream. Several mills higher up the stream sustained very considerable injury from the sudden overflowing of the torrents, which rolled along with a force and rapidity that threatened destruction to every thing within their reach. We are informed that at the mills at Dearden Clough, great damage was sustained, as well as at Mr. Parkinmar's Mill at Ewood Bridge. All the lawn and meadow land (upwards of 50 acres) in front of the residence of John Grant, Esq., o f .Nutton Hall, was completely . inun dated, as well as a porti on o f th e l an d on w hi c h th e wor k s o f E. Hardman, Esq., of Bury, are situated. The body of a cart, divested of its axletree and wheels, was dragged out of the stream by some of Mr. Hardman's men, but in a very shattered condition. When the cart was washed away, we are informed, it was loaded with coals, and the violence with which it had been driven by the current against the various objects opposing it in its progress, had broken the iron bolts of the axle, and thus severed them from the cart. Both axle tree and wheels were carried down the stream as far as Ring ley. A quantity of planks and other timber were torn from Mr. Hardman's weir, which was under repair, and carried away. A valuable cow, the property of Mr. James Kay, grocer, of Bury, was struck with electric fluid, in a field near the Bolton road, and killed on the spot ; and we are informed that the chimney of a house near Park Hills was struck, but not materially damaged. Two of the inmates fortunately escaped with but slight injury. At a place called Black Pitts, the mills of Messrs. 'Turner and Co. were so much damaged by the overflowing and rapid current, that some time must elapse before they can Ire put into operation. The heavy stone wall of the large loom shed, near the brook, was washed completely down, and the looms and machinery in the lower rooms of the mill, were immersed in water, and much valuable property washed away; but, we are happy to say, no lives were lost. We are informed that three draw-boys were blocked up in a coal mine, by the water in that neighbourhood, and had not been got out at the time we received the intelligence, on the following morning; but hopes were entertained that the poor little fellows were in some higher portion of the mine than the waters would reach, and they would be rescued from their perilous situation. The mine is entered by a horizontal passage in the lower part of the side of a hill. Part of the bleaching works at Hampson Mills, and the land about Goshen and the Gig Mills, were inundated; but less damage was done than was expected. In the neighbourhood of Rawtenstall, large tracts of meadow and pasture land were laid under water, and from the quantity of wreck that has floated down the streams it is feared that the damage sustained has been very great. The large steam engine chimnies have escaped without injury, we believe, notwithstanding the clouds hung so low in the atmosphere, these chimnies being generally protected by con ductors. A strong pencil of light was several times seen during the storm at the tipper part of the rod affixed to the large chimney at the Moor-side vitriol works, but no damage was done. At. Messrs. Walker and Lomax's mills, upwards of three hundred squares of glass were broken in the sky lights by the heavy had stones. At the works of Messrs. R. and M. Smith and Co., calico printers, Baxendale, damage was sustained by the flood to the extent of about £6OO. The storm at Edenfield is stated in a letter we have seen to have lasted about six hours, commencing about noon. The brook there was swollen to an enormous extent, and the flood did much damage to every establishment on its banks. The lodge banks and troughs at the print works of Messrs. Watson and Greig in that neighbourhood, were swept down, and the chimney was struck by lightning, but not much in jured, The bank of a new lodge at the establishment of Mr. John It ostron, jun., was completely swept away, and a steam pan from his works was brought down the stream, and carried over the new wheel. One field of hay-grass was covered to the depth of a yard and a half. Two cows belonging to Mr. George Ramsbottom, having taken shelter at the foot of a large chimney, were killed by the electric fluid, which did not injure the chimney. BOLTON. On Wednesday afternoon last, this town and neighbour hood were visited by one of the most violent thunder storms witnessed here for some years past. The rain fell in torrents, accompanied by violent peals of thunder, and what was rather singular, the rain was interspersed with hailstones, as large as horse beans. The streets and lanes were immediately covered with streams of water, and in places where the sewers had become choked, the cellars and houses were immediately flooded. At the wharf, owing to the stoppage of the soughs, the water flowed through the canal warehouse to such an ex tent, that a boat load of flour was sunk. The electric fluid killed a horse, belonging to Mr. Hargreaves, which was pasturing in a field on Bolton Moor. It also struck the Wesleyan Methodist school, in Ridgway Gates, and displaced a number of slates and bricks, and passed through an adjacent house, occupied by Mr. John Hall, filling the place with a sulphurious smell, and breaking a few pots, but doing no personal damage. It also passed th roug h M r. George Sharpie's house, in Smith-street, Little Bolton, splitting, the mantle piece, and breaking the ornaments, and a number of windows. No sooner had the storm abated, than crowds of persons flocked towards the river, on which might be seen floating timber, skips, and different articles. At Turner Bridge, a lad of about fourteen years of age, named Noble, whilst endeavouring to catch some timber, accidentally tell into the river, and was carried away. Search has since been made for the body, but it had not been found up to yesterday. noon. At Darcy Lever, two fine horses got into the water, but they were extricated in safety. A cart filled.with gravel near Eagley Mills was swept away by the current, and an ass was seen floating down the stream. Every foot bridge, with one exception, between Bolton snd Birtenshaw, was carried away. The throstle-room at Mr. Crompton's mill at Farnworth was speedily coveted by about a foot of water, and the electric fluid struck a house at liingley, but no material damage was done. The" neighbourhood of Little Bolton, Turton, Longworth, and Sharpies, adjoining the river Eagley, a branch of the I rwell, lying north-west of Bolton, was visited by the storm in a manner the most awful ever witnessed by the oldest in habitants. The rain fell in torrents, and in about two hours the river was swollen to a height much beyond what had ever been remembered, and did extensive damage in passing the various works and manufactories—of which the most exagge rated accounts have been propagated; but the following may be relied upon :—At the works of Messrs. H. and E. Ash worth, the Egerton Mill, and the New Eagley Mills, the lowest rooms, which are used as mechanics' shops, were tilled with water, and the warehouse of the latter mill, con taining cotton and yarn, was filled about four feet deep; none of this property was carried away, but will have sus tained more or less injury from wetting. A large heap of coals, probably 50 or 60 tons, a bundle of empty yarn skips, and several walls and fences adjoining the river, as well as two wooden foot bridges, were swept down. The damage done at the Egerton Mill will not much exceed £35; that at the Eagley Mills mac probably amount to £BO or £9O. The latter were stopped working till the following morning ; other works sustained more or less injury, particularly Messrs. Chadwick's, especially in the lower rooms, and tile drying and bleaching premises. PRESTON, This town and neighbourhood was visited on Wednesday by an awful thunder-storm, which commenced about two o'clock. The rain fell in torrents. One man was killed by the lightning ; another, who is in the employ of Messrs. Horrocks, Jackson, and Co., who had, a crowbar in his hand, received a very severe shock, but suffered no serious personal injury. There is reason to fear that considerable damage would be sustained by various factories, and other large establishments in the neighbourhood. BARNSLEY. The storm of hail and rain in this neighbourhood was of extraordinary violence. At the coal-mine of Robert Clarke, Esq., of Silkstone, near this town, we regret to state, owing to the rapid rising of the flood, the coal•pit being entered by an inclined plane, a number of colliers were suddenly over whelmed, and no fewer than twenty-seven individuals, eleven girls and sixteen boys, are stated to have been drowned. An inquest has since been held on the bodies of some of the unfortunate sufferers, and a verdict of "accidental death" returned. In Barnsley, it is supposed that no fewer than ten thousand panes of glass were broken by the hail-stones. ( From the Leeds Intelligencer.) The neighbourhood of Stainbro', Dodworth, and Silkstone, was on Wednesday visited by a tremendous hail storm, which did considerable damage in the gardens, as well as a great number of windows. The rain fell in torrents, and the vales from Dodworth to Worsbiough Dale, w ere flooded to such an extent as has not been witnessed for several years, and several cattle were taken down by the stream. Many walls, also, were laid waste by the force of the current. Besides these and other effects, we are sorry to say that a great num ber of lives have been lost. In the valley on the south west side of Dodworth, the water rose to such a height that it. reached the entrance of a coal pit in the bill side, belonging to It. Clarke, Esq., called the Moor Side Pit ; the water rushed in, so that iu a short time the pit was filled. A number Of colliers were at work in the pit, and many of them perished in the water. It is stated that twenty-seven persons have been taken out dead. Since the above was in type, we have received a confirmatory account, with the names of the twenty-seven unfortunate persons who have fallen victims, and who are all from ten to eighteen years of age; eleven of them are females. The damage done to the windows alone at Wentworth Castle is estimated at £S(X). We further learn, that at Wentworth Castle the destruction is truly lamentable. All the glass of the green and hot-houses is wholly destroyed, as well as their valuable contents. The pineries, frames, flowers, shrubs, &c. are all s we pt awa y ; and 4000 yards of walling laid prostrate. The whole presents an appearance worse than a mere waste—it is a scene of perfect destruction and devastation. Another correspondent says that the hail stones measured 41 inches round. The water swept away timber, trees, walls, bridges, and a quan tity of furniture from the houses, coals, tubs, pigs, and clothes from the hedges, and ten beasts from Mr. John Archer, of Saville Hall, near Barnsley. It has done about £3OO worth of damage at Silkstone to different individuals, and the roads are all blown up in a dreadful manner. The entire village presented time appearance of . a complete sheet of wa ter; from one end of the village to the other it was impassa ble for a few hours. A private letter from Rochdale, dated in the afternoon of Wednesday, states that the storm raged there to a fearful extent; mills and houses were washed down, and property destroyed to the amount of upwards of £50,000. There were also rumours of loss of life. No rain fell at Leeds. THE THUNDER STORM NEAR LONDON. (From the Standard of Saturday) The neighbourhood of the metropolis was yesterday morn-' ing, about seven o'clock, visited by a most dreadful storm of thunder and lightning, which lasted for a considerable time, and during which, we regret to state, an awful and fatal ca lamity occurred at Kensington. In Leonard-place, on the left-hand side of the high road, the electric fluid struck the premises of a gentleman named Crickett, residing at No. 12. At the moment of the visitation a boy named Thomas Green, - about 14 years of a , e, was enraged in the stables attached to •Mr. Crickett's coagh-houses, which are situate at the bottom of that gentleman's gard en when he was alarmed by a loud and deafening explosion, and at the same moment the horses becoming unmanageable, and endeavouring to break from their stalls, he ran up stairs to the room above, in which the coachman, named Charles Webb, and his wife, was sleeping. On reaching their door,'. he observed smoke issuing through the crevices, and on looking he saw Webb and his wife lying on the bed enveloped in flames i = which were fast extending themselves round the room. He immediately rushed down stairs, and out of the back gate into Pembroke-place, scream ing "fire." A person named Reeve, residing at No. 3, hear ing the alarm, instantly ran in. but in his flurry shut the outer gate after him. That, although about nine feet high, was by the assistance of a female named Collins soon scaled by a man of the name of Tertian, residing in Earl-street, whose hands and clothes have been much torn by the spikes on the top, when the three entered the premises. On reaching the door of the room they found it fastened on the inside; it was, how ever, soon broken open, when on entering they were nearly forced back by the dense both, of smoke and fire with which the room was filled. Their first exertions were directed to the extinguishment of the flames, in which, by the help of police-constable Swain, T 130, and other persons who had come to their assistance, they were soon successful. An awful sight then presented itself, Webb being discovered on the bed quite dead, and by his side his wife in apparently. a dying state. They were immediately removed into klarge loft.ad joining, and surgical assistance sent for. In a fow tnipptas Mr, Pqrrick prooon of 13012-place, otrived, when pp 1:1N, , k: r • • • • • amining the body of Webb, he pronounced bis death to have been instantaneous. The right arm down to the wrist was.,',l, much scorched and contracted, and the lingers drawn in towards the hand. Tha right side of the body . from the hip to the chest and neck was also very much exconarated. The face, although of a livid hue, appeared uninjured, and . , the features were perfectly calm, as if in sleep. His unfortunate wife, however, presented a far different and heart-rending appearance. The upper part of her person was frightfully burnt and disfigured. Over her eye was a wound, more resembling a pistol shut than any thing else, and the ear on that side was completely. shrivelled up. Her features were much distorted, and her face, neck, breast, and arms dreadfully burnt, it is supposed while endeavouring to put out the burning bed clothes. She • - was perfectly insensible, but Mr. Carrick finding she was • still alive, recommended her being,ianediatelycatried to St. • George' s Hospital. A fly was accordingly procured, in which, accompanied by Swain and one of Mr. Crickett's female • servants, she was conveyed to the hospital, when the sur- • geons, on examining the injuries she had received, gave it as their opinion that she could not long survive. Shortly after being brought to the hospital she became sensible, and in _ endeavouring to raise herself said, as if speaking to her husband, and totally unconscious of the awful occurrence, • ; " Charles, why do you hold me down—why don't you let me get up ?" Her vision appeared to be totally gone, and the ; surgeons ordered her on no account t o be 'disturbed. The . • unfortunate couple, who were about 31 years of age, had not • • been married above twelve months. The effects of the storm had nearly been attended with fatal . , • . consequences at the residence of Mr. Tabout, a cabinet-tnaker. in East-street, Manchester-square. The family were at breakfast at the time, and the electric fluid descended the - chimney, and knocked down Mr. and Mrs. Tabout, who for some moments lay on the floor in a state of insensibility, but shortly afterwards recovered, not much injured. 'The electric fluid escaped by the bellwires, which it melted. THE COURT. On Wednesday, her Majesty graced with her presence ilti.7' ceremony of christening the infant dau g ht er o f th e Duk e o f Sutherland. The Queen stood as godmother to the child, the first time she has personally honoured any of her sub jects in that way. After the christening, the Queen paid a short visit to the Queen Dowager atßushey Park. There was a dinner-party in the evening at the Palace; including the Duke De Neinours, the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Louisa Jenkinson, Lady Mary Talbot, Lady Ann Fitzwii liam, Lady Fanny Cowper, the Duke of Argyle,,and the Earl of Ilchester. On Thursday the Queen held a Privy Council. Procla mations were issued for a new coinage of gold and silver.
