He would, however, procure every particular as soon as possible. Mr. O'CoNNaLL described Use whole as a gross falsehood. Lard J. ttussELL said that after the right hon. baronet, the member for Tainworth. gave notice of his motion fora want of confidence Russell) stated r Niaj y's ministers, he (Lord J Sir R. INGLrs objected to the establishment of a precedent so dangerous as that of printing the register at the expense of the public. That would be to throw on the country an expense which should be excluon,ely borne by the county of Hertford. Sir R. PEEL thought the proposition of the Solicitor- General sufficiently stringent for the vindication of the pri vileges of the house ; and Mr. Duncombe having withdrawn his motion, that of the Solicitor-General was adopted. The clerk of the peace, on being ordered to furnish the copy on Thursday, said, he could not do so in less than three weeks. On being pressed, he admitted that, by putting it in several hands, it might be done, but he would only promise that he would furnish the copy as soon as he could. He was di rected to withdraw, and a peremptory order was issued that Mr. C. W. W YNN moved a resolution, to the effect that the Attorney-General should be directed to prosecute Dr. Webster for bribery at the recent election for St. Albans. Mr. SANDFORD said, that the evidence against Dr. Web ster was given in such a manner as would not warrant the house to direct a prosecution. It was his (Mr. Sandford's) desire to have carried the investigation much further than it was allowed to go. Mr. MILDMAY thought that the house would be guilty of partiality in singling out this case for prosecution, when they passed over so many worse cases. Colonel CONOLLY said that the flagrancy in this case was gross and palpable, and it was not because others might have been allowed to escape, that there was, therefore, to be a general impunity for guilt of this description. The skill with which this sort of iniquity was carried on, always keep- - ing the candidate clear of being, implicated, rendered it ne s i cessary that when a case was brought home, the punishment be certain and exemplary.

Sir It. H. INGLIS thought the evidence was quite strong enough to justify a trial, and if the house wished to maintain its character with the country it would direct a prosecution. Considerable discussion followed, in which Lord SANDON, Sir T. CocuRANE, Mr. HUTT, and other members took part, after which _ _ The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the house would not ex pect him to give an opinion, nor would he vote upon this suti ject, and he only rose to say, that whatever course the house might direct him to pursue, he would cheerfully obey. Mr. C. W. WYNN, in reply, said the case was one which, :when_ fairly brought under the cognisance of the house, it could not pass overwithQut compromising its character with the country. t - ---"'Mr. VA j .no gave notice, that on Friday — next he would call the attention of the house to the reports on the Cambridge and Ludlow petitions. The motion was then agreed to without a division. Sir C. GREY moved fur the appointment of a committee, to consider the fitness of her Majesty's territory of Labrador for a penal settlement. Under recent circumstances, he did not think it necessary to press his ;notion ; but he thought it right to draw the attention of the house to it, in order that it might be taken up hereafter. After a short conversation, the motion was negatived with out a division, Sir C. GREY declaring, that if he should have a seat in the next parliament, he would again bring the sub ject under consideration. Lord MORPETH moved for leave to bring in a bill for mak ing and maintaining railways in Ireland. His object was not to proceed with the bill during the present session, but merely to have the bill printed, in order that it might be understood by the public. Mr. SHAW supported the bill, without pledging himself to all its details. After a few observations from Lord STANLEY, Mr. Ser geant JAexsoN, Mr. W. J. O'BRIEN, and other hon. mem bers, leave was given to bring in the bill. The other orders of the day being disposed of, the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Mr. WARD gave notice, that next Friday he should move that instructions be given to the Attorney-General to prose cute the agent at the late Cambridge election. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON again brought before the house the subject of Mr. O'Connell's having distrained his tenants for rent only one month due, and read a letter from Mr. Robert Twiss, who repeated the whole charge, and named April, 1838 as the period at which it took place. Mr. O'CONNELL said, that the whole charge was an utter falsehood. He believed that Mr. Twiss had been a magis trate, that he had been unfortunate, and had availed himself of the benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act. In Kerry, Mr. Twiss was well known for tne inaccuracy of his state ments, and that he had been known for the last five and twenty years by the appellation of " Lying Bob Twiss." On the motion that the house go into committee on the Dog-cart Bill, Mr. PILYME moved the postponement of the committee to this day six—months. - Mr. WARBURTON seconded the motion, and Sir llonEaT INGLzs and Mr. EAST opposed it, when, a division taking place, the original motion e was carried by 141 against 30, and the bill went through committee. On the motion of Mr. CRESS WELL, that the house resolve itself into a committee to petition her majesty in support of the Danish claims, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL entered into a lengthened detail of the causes which had given rise to the present claims, and was of opinion that this nation had not the least right to in demnify the claimants. After some further discussion, the house went into com mittee, and the motion of Mr. Cresswell was agreed to, on the understanding that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would oppose the claims on the bringing up of the report. During the discussion on the bribery at elections bill, Co lonel SIBTRORP stigmatised the conduct of government in this instance, as in many others, as being idle, incompetent, and disgraceful ; that ministers were never in their places, even when their own bills were coming before the house. He supposed they were gone to amuse themselves by singing, dancing, and eating ; hut he really thought if they were tired of governing the affairs of the nation, they ought to give it to those men who were willing and perfectly able to conduct them. Mr. F. MAULS said that it was not true that her Majesty's ministers were never in their places, to attend to the business of the house, and that the assertions made by the gallant member opposite were beneath his contempt. Colonel SIBTHORP immediately arose and left the house, when _ _ Mr. W. WYNN rose to order, and moved that Col. Sib thorp be ordered to attend, and take his seat in the house. On the gallant colonel's returning and taking his seat, The SPEAKER said, that he understood that one hon gen tleman had taken offence at some expressions used by ano ther hon. member, which he hoped that hon. member would retract. He always paid ;: mat attention to expressions which might be used, and, at the time, he certainly was of opinion that the remarks of the hon. gentleman were offensive, but that he afterwards thought the hon. gentleman, beginning his speech in other words, had retracted the offensive ex pression. Mr. F. MAULS said, that he was very sorry if any expres sion had fallen from him of a personal nature to the gallant member opposite, but he certainly didintend to express him self strongly on the subject after the observations which had fallen from that hon. gentleman. Colonel SIBTHORP said that, as a public man and a man of honour he had a right to protect himself from insult ; but as the hon. gentleman opposite had retracted the observations, he was perfectly satisfied. On the motion for proceeding with the report of the Ad ministration of Justice (No. 1) Bill, Sir E. SUGDEN moved the insertion of a clause to prevent the operation of the bill coming into effect until October, as it would be highly improper to place so much judicial patronage at the disposal of a government who had not the confidence of the House of Commons. Lord J. RUSSELL said he thought the hon. gentleman had already offered enough of opposition to the bill without bringing forward the present clause, which, if carried, would have the effect of casting a brand upon the Lord Chancellor —(cries of " No, no"—who did not deserve such treatment after the satisfactory manner he had disposed of the patron age under his care. Sir R. PEEL denied any idea of casting a brand upon Lord Cottenham, and said that if her Majesty's government post poned the passing of the bill till the next meeting of parlia ment, he was prepared to enter into such an arrangement. After some discussion the house divided, and Sir E. Sug den's motion was carried by a majority of 101 against 83. Lord J. RUSSELL said he could not think of proceeding with the bill after what had just taken place. Ile should, therefore move the further consideration of the bill to this day three weeks. Sir DE LACY EVANS and Mr. 17'1.1,1E113 contended that the opposition which the bill met with was merely for the sake of patronage. They thought that the gentlemen on the opposite side were blameable to refuse justice to the country, merely for the sake of party feeling. Lord STANLEY and Mr. PEMBERTON defended themselves from the imputation of acting on party grounds. Mr. WAKLET said that the noble lord had acted in the best possible manner under the present circumstances, and that it ought not to be forgot that it was not the radical party who were attacking the prerogatives of the crown, and that if the present course was persisted in the crown would shortly be in the mast imminent danger. Sir R. PEEL said that the present proceeding was only an attempt to carry on the government of the country by an executive not possessing the confidence of the present House of Commons, and that after the late division there were but two courses for the ministers to pursue—either resignation or immediate dissolution. After some further discussion, the motion of Lord John Russell was agreed to. The rest of the business was then disposed of, and the house adjourned until this day, (Friday,) at one o'clock. DREADFUL SUICIDE.—About a quarter before four on Monday afternoon, a policeman on duty outside the yard of Chelsea Church, London, observed a person on the top of the tower, apparently preparing to precipitate himself to the ground, and a second afterwards he threw himself off, and came down with terrific velocity on the west side of the tower. Several persons were immediately on the spot, and lifted the unfortunate man up, but life was found to be quite extinct. The stones all round were covered with blood. The height of the tower of Chelsea New Church is nearly 200 feet. A shell WAS procured, in which the body of the de ceased was placed, and conveyed to the workhouse adjacent, where a medical gentleman examined it, and found the skull fractured, shoulders dislocated, and the legs broken—in fact, the body was literally " smashed ".

He (Sir possible, and he as surano IL_ Prpl on the present occasion _ _ f such an assurance .was given, he would not oppose any rota necessary for the public service ; but if the noble lord was sot prepared to give that assurance, he should only agree to granting the estimates for three months. He must press upon ministers to give an assurance that no time should be lost in calling the new parliament together. If that assurance was given, he would withdraw all opPOSition to the time the supplies were asked for. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that knowing the opinion of Lord Melbourne he could assure the house that it was the inten tion of ministers to advise her Most' Gracious Majesty to sail the new parliament together as earjy as it was possible. (Hear.) He felt deeply the difficulty of remaining in office after the vets of the ether evening. Sir R. Past felt satisfied with the assurance of the noble lord, and would not make any opposition to the time the supplies might be asked for. (Hear.) Mr. VILLIERS was' glad to find a bold course taken with respect to the corn-laws, and hoped it would awaken the people to a cenuiousness of their supineness, and prove to them howkecessary it was that they should exert all their energies tdrenabla the government to carry out their pro- posed measures. Mr. WAKLET hcptd that, at the approaching elections, neither of the great parties in that house would have a ruling but that the people would return persons like him who aot.d with him, whose only object was to v. rle should like to see a change of mi , and a new parliament every year, until >pie were attended to.

The noble lord said, it was his intention to proceed with the Municipal Corporations Bill, the Ecclesiastical Commission the Bribery at Elections Bill, the New South Wales Bill. 3111, and ti, estern Australia In accordance with an order of the house, the clerk of the •••f the county of Hertford attended at the bar with a 'qter, which, he said, he ought not to be re as it was the property of the magis- copy of the quired to Letiver u crates of •egister I he copy 01 should be laid upon th• table. This led to some discussion, in the course of which, The SQLICITOR-GENERAL remarked, that, by law, the clerk of the peace was bound to furnish a copy of the regis ter, at a reasonable rate, to any one who asked for it. In the case before the house, the clerk had required the extra- vagagant price of £25. He was not, however, willing to act harshly towards the desk, and would move that he be peremptorily directed to furnish the required copy on Thursday. ich E I THE CORN TAWS. FORTY REASONS WHY I WILL NOT. SUPPORT TUE OPPONENTS OF THE PRESENT CORN LAWS 1. Because those wbo have raised the cry of " cheap bread," mean " cheap labour." 2. Because the repeal of these protective laws would lead to a reduction of the wages both of the.mechanic and labourer. 3. Because in the countries w Russia, Poland, and Germany, the scale of wages is so ex ceedingly low, that the labourer never tastes wheaten bread, se off for clothes and lodging, than those ere corn is cheap, such as and is ve same of the m class are in England - 4. Because by their repeal, 1,770,000 agriculturallabourers would be thrown out of work, of which it is probable 350,000 would be a burden to their parishes, the like number starve or emigrate, and the remaining 1,070,000 be forced to com pete with the manufacturing population. 5. Because in England and America, where corn is at a remunerating price, the wages of the working class much greater than in the countries where corn is cheat 6. Because the agricultural labourer advanced in life, would, when thrown out of employ, be banished from home, from the spot he loves, and must go to the workhouse or starve, as he would be unable to follow any nevroccupation. 17. Because, the duty en for ted free t ten years, there has been less fluctuation in the price of corn here than in any other country. 19. Because a fixed tax at all times imposed upon the necessaries of life would be a revenue unblessed by God and abhorred by man, and such as never could be exacted in this or any other country in seasons of scarcity'or famine. 18. Because, for the 1 20. Because the supply of corn under the present system is sufficient for home consumption, and at an average price not exceeding that of our neighbours. 21. Because the farmer and landlord, with their capital diminished, will not have half the money to expend they now lay out amongst us. 22. Because their repeal would place us at the mercy of foreign countries, who, in case of war or bad harvest, may raise corn to any price they please, or stop the supply alto gether. 23. Because, by their repeal, seven or eight millions of acres of land will be thrown out of cultivation. 24. Because three-fourths of the population of this country derive their means of subsistence from agrieaiture. 25. Because the capital invested by agriculturists in the soil exceeds three thousand millions of pounds sterling !! ! 26. Because the amount of taxes annually paid by the agricultural classes is £6,433,575, while manufacturers, trades, and professions only contribute £3,021,187, or less than one-third of the whole amount. 27. Because, on the prosperity of agriculture is mainly dependent the prosperity of this country. 28. Because the agricultural produce now annually raised in this kingdom is valued at two hundred and forty-six mil lions, while the manufacturing is only one hundred and forty eight millions. 29. Because the agricultural interest has as just a right to protection as the manufacturing. 30. Because, during twenty-four years before the corn laws came into operation, the average price of wheat was 78s. per quarter ; and during the succeeding twenty-four years, from 1816 to 1840, only 60s. per quarter on the average. 31. Because we have the example of Rome before us, which; though it had subdued the world, yet its decay was accelerated by its dependance on foreigners for food. • 32. Because, by a repeal, foreigners would drain us of our precious metals in payment for their corn. 33. Because in 1839, when corn was scarce in France and Italy and other European countries through a bad harvest, these powers prohibited its exportation, which, in a similar case, they would do again. 3-1. Because a great proportion of the money paid to the home grower of corn will be expended in purchasing the pro duce of the manufacturer, while it must be admitted that from the foreign grower the most you can expect back is only part. 35. Because the capital of this country, paid to the foreign corn states, has already enabled them to compete with us in the production of many important branches of manufacture, whereas, till lately, their supply was wholly derived from England. . 36. Because, whatever fluctuation in price there has been under the present system, it has risen from the uncertainty of the seasons, equally uncertain in other countries as this. 37. Because the greatest supply of foreign corn that has ever been obtained during the greatest scarcity has never been equal to one-tenth of the consumption. 38. Because in the year succeeding that in which there has been a great influx of foreign grain, corn has always been at higher prices. 39. Because the repeal would turn our corn-fields into bar ren wastes, and our villages into union workhouses.. 40. Because protection against the importation of foreign corn is necessary to balance the excess of duties, borne almost exclusively by the agriculturists, and only remotely affecting the capitalist, annuitant, or fundholder ; such as the mainte nance of the Established Church, the poor, the highways, &c., &c., all of which are essential to our national happiness and security. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE (From the Railway Times.) GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OPENING.—This weelc has been one big with the happiest hopes to the shareholders of the Great Western railway company, no le than three openings having been made on the lines connect-, with this splendid line. Great have been the exertions of all parties engaged in thin undertaking, and heavy the ca made upon the shareholders, but we trust that there is n one of them who, with the prospects now before them, won ' willingly have diminished his stake by a single farthine% With parties acquainted with the statistics of travelling, th Great Western railway has ever been a favourite, and we b ye been informed that so much more disposition is there in h west country people to travel, that the present truffle aster tained by the number of coaches licensed, is, in comparison to that on the Birmingham road. as three to two, or fifty per cent more, although we should certainly have expected that the preponderance of population to the north would have produced a difference the other way. In a short time the Box Tunnel will be completed, and in the meanwhile we con gratulate the shareholders on Monday's proceedings, the har binger, as we firmly believe, of many years of prosperity, and increasing dividends. The traffic on Monday was very large, and although that day was a holiday, we have no doubt that even the receipts on that occasion will soon be daily sur passed. BRISTOL AYD EXETER RAILWAY OPENING.—In ano ther part of our paper will be found a full account of the in teresting proceedings at the excursion made by the directors and shareholders along the Bristol and Exeter railway, pre paratory to the general opening. The greatest satisfaction was expressed by all parties, and although no day has yet been fixed for the commencement of the public traffic, yet it is evident that the state of the road is such as to allow us to anticipate an early date,---we are informed within a week. When the company assembled they were unanimous in ex pressing the obligations of the shareholders and the public to the chairman, directors, engineer, and secretary, for their exertions in carrying out this magnificent undertaking, which will be equally productive of benefit to the district through which it passes, and the parties who have invested their ca pital for its formation. The west of England has now seen the beginning of the railway system, and it is our most an xious wish that it may derive as much advantage from it as has already accrued to the northern districts ; we hope to see it extending through the fertile agricultural county of Devon to the mining riches of Cornwall, and to see the Bristol and Exeter the parent of as many divergent branches as the Great Western itself. The merits of the Bristol and Exeter rail way we have sometimes had occasion to impress upon our readers : for the future we confidently believe that they will speak for themselves, in the most gratifying of all language, good dividends, and that the lease will be found as beneficial to the lessors as to the lessees. There is a large amount of population and wealth in the country through which the rail way passes, and a wide field for the extension of feeders and the supply of traffic. The thirty-four miles now ready will soon tell their tale, and in the meanwhile the company are makiwg every effort to carry out their line to its full extent. The shares will not be long before they feel the effects of the present impulse, and both the original holders and recent purchasers will find reason to congratulate themselves on the nature of their investment, for even the present dull state of the market will not be able to depress securities of such intrinsic value. The line from Bristol co Bridgewater, 34 miles, excited the admiration of all present on the occa sion—nearly four hundred persons, who were loud in their praises of the extreme smoothness of the road, and rich and beautiful country through which it passes. In the opinion of railway men it was the best 31 miles they had ever travel led upon. We dismiss the subject of the Bristol and Exeter railway for the moment, with great delight at seeing how fully the directors have been able to redeem their promise to the shareholders, of getting the permanent way laid before the first of June.

To the inhabitants of that district this is matter of congratulation, but still more to the shareholders of the company who have had great difficulties to contend with, an d who must now feel inspired with the hope of at last reaping the fruits of their arduous exertions. We know nothin g more h arrass i ng t h an the anxious interval between the passing of a railway bill and the period of the completion of the line ; so that we appre ciate the influence which this event is calculated to have in encouraging the shareholders, and restoring the marketable value of their property. We do not, however, look to the result of this opening as a measure of the traffic on the line, because it is not until its com p letion to C heltenham that its full value will be seen, as the grand connecting link between the northern and midland counties and the west of England. equally as the high road from the metropoli s t o th e act i ve p o p u lation around the railway. Seven trains d a il y run f rom Paddington, and eight return, while two intermediate stations provide for the local traffic. A good beginning has thus been made, and it must lead to a long era of prosperity, such as will well repay its staunch supporters. R AILW AY TRAFFIC , &c.—The particulars of traffic upon the various railroads in England and Scotland, twenty-nine in number, for the last week, that is to say, up to the date to which the respective re turns are made, show the f o ll ow i ng results :—The total receipts were A. 74,42 8! of which there were £60,961 for passengers, par . uls, carriages, horses and mails, and 13,466 for merchandise. The jJondon and Bir mingham Railway took £17,396; Great V estern, £8,630; South Western, £7,005 Grand Junction, £7, 881 ; Liver pool and Manchester,£4,34o ; Manchester and Leeds, £3,225 • Midland Counties, 2,625; North Milland, £ . 3,702 ; London ' and Greenwich, £2,284 ; York and North Midland, £1,368, &c. On Friday, the Queen held a Privy Council at Bucking • ham Palace, when the five pound gold piece was submitted to the Queen and approved of. It is very generally rumoured that Lord Melbourne has been for some time averse to the measures pursued by Lis colleagues, and among other things that he would have re signed a month ago could he have brought a majority of the quarter-day men over to his way of thinking. But taking this to be so, what must be thought of a prime minister who allows himself to be thus overruled, and thus to become, in stead of the leader, the fag-end of his party ? MUNIFICENT DONATION.—Sonic benevolent individual has forwarded to the Rev. J. S. M. Anderson, chaplain to the Queen Dowager, and minister of St. George's Chapel, ' Brighton the munificent donation of £l,OOO, to be distri buted by him for :he benefit of the town and county. The Rev. W. H. Woodward, minister of the Independent Chapel, Eign Brook, Hereford, delivered a farewell address to his congregation on Thursday evening last. It is under stood that he is about to be ordained a clergyman of the Church of England. In addition to great talents as a pub lic speaker, Mr. Woodward is devoted to scientific and lite rary pursuits. No fewer than ninety petitions from this county against the ministerial proposition for altering the Corn-laws have up to this time been presented to the House of Commons. — Worcester Journal. THE GROWING CROPS.—In most of the southern coun ties the Wheat plant is already in ear, and present appear ances give ample promise of an early harvest. Respecting the probable yield, it is of course much too early'to form an opinion; a full average breadth of land having, however, been sown, we may, with moderately favourable weather, calculate on at least au average produce. Notwithstanding the drought which has prevailed during the greater part of the last fortnight, the crops of barley and oats are described as wearing a healthy aspect. Beans and Pecs, we are in formed, are likewise looking uncommonly well, and should we now be favoured with a few days of showery weather, the slight injury which may in some instances have been sus- tained for Want of rain, will soon give place to increased luxuriance.—Mark Lane Express. SHAMEFUL CONDUCT OF MINISTERS.—Let us not be taxed with inhumanity in rejoicing at the approaching disso lution of the ministry. Their death will be the life of the country ; and as to inhumanity, follow the atrocity of their conduct in leaving no possible resource untried to escape from the coup de grace of last night, or rather this morning, by bringing down Lord D. Hallyburton, M.P. for Forfarshire, more dead than alive, to vote for them, if you can ; save, indeedi from their own annals, which are full of such revolt ing expedients. His lordship, who has been for some time in a most precarious state of health, was inhumanly brought down to the house, to-be carried by attendants into an ante room, and then wheeled in an easy chair to divide, and then carried back to his carriage —perfectly helpless, and seemingly unconscious and unwitting of what was going forward—with an utter disregard of all the common feelings of decency on the part of the—in very truth—de'structives. Loud marks of disgust followed this graceful exhibition ; but fully to explain the depth of disgrace in which ministers steeped themselves by this most revolting act, would be to offend as much against delicacy, and feeling, and manhood, as themselves. — Morning Post. The Duke of Cleveland has subscribed no less a sum than £lOO,OOO to the Coppoek fund for the ministerial candidates. His grace's dukedom was given for his support of the reform bill, but so great an act of ministerial favour seems also to give the whigs a strong claim upon his long purse, more es pecially considering his advanced age and the opposite poli tics of his conservative son and heir, Lord Darlington, who is thus ;mulcted by his father's liberality.—Record. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY — We are much pleased, and we think the public will have great reason for gratulation, to find that our respected townsman, Braithwaite Poole. Esq., has been appointed to the management of the goods' department in the carrying concern of the Grand Junction Railway Company. Mr. Poole is generally known as a gen tleman of high standing in society, and very much esteemed by all classes ; and his selection for the discharge of this im portant and responsible office, in the due execution of which the inhabitants of the great commercial cntrepot of Liverpool are so deeply intepested, will be admitted to reflect great cre dit upon the discrimination and judgment of the directors. ATTEMPT AT MURDER, AND SUICIDE.—On Thursday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, a man of the name of William Sears, labourer, residing at 42, Richmond-street, Paddington, London, came home, and sent the little girl who acted as servant out with the baby. The little girl had not gone far before she heard cries of murder in the house, and on the police gaining an entrance they found the wife lying appa rently lifeless on the floor, and .the husband with his head nearly severed from his body. There are not the slightest hopes of the woman's recovery. Edward Clubbe, the murderer, is not recovering, as stated in our last, but still continues to have those frightful fits to which he has been subject since his conviction, some of which last from six to nine hours. He is evidently deranged.— Carnarvon Herald. MARRIAGE 0? LORD JOHN RUSSELL.—The noble Secre tary for the Colonies will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar Lady Fanny Elliott, second daughter of the Larl and Countess of Minto. The ceremony will be performed at the close of the present season. The noble lord is in his 49th ) ear, and is a widower, hav ing married in 1835 Lady Ribblesdale, who died in November, 1838, leaving a son and daughter by his lordship. Lady Fanny Elliott is in her 26th year.—Morning paper. AFFAIR or HONOUR IN GALWAY.—The duel fought between Mr. Lynch and Mr. Kelly, of Ballinasloe, has ter minated fatally. Mr. Kelly, after severe suffering, expired on Thursday night. One of his seconds, a gentleman named Dillon, promptly surrendered himself to the authorities, to abide the issue of the inquest. FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—Mr. Van Amburgh, who has arrived in this town, for the race week, with his splendid collection of trained animals, had a very lucky escape from an attack of the lion at the time he was exhibiting in the den with the lion and tiger yesterday morn ing. These two animals, a short time before the exhibition commenced, had an angry scuffle with each other; but all animosity between them appeared afterwards to have ceased. While Mr. Van Awburgh was lying down by the side of the lion, with his head close to its mouth, the animal's enormous tusk inflicted a wound upon his forehead, just above the eye, from which the blood flowed pretty copiously down his face. PROBABLE Loss OF THE SHIP GOLCONDA.—On the 20th of August last, the 37th regiment Madras native infantry sailed for China from 'Madras, in the ships Golconda, Thetis, Minerva, and Sophia. The Golconda was the head quarter ship of the regiment. Lieutenant-Colonel William Isacks commanded the troops, and Captain John Bonnor Neeve was second in command. There were twelve other officers in the Golconda, and 355 soldiers, including camp followers. The regiment consisted of 1100 men, all of whom arrived safely in China (except the detachment on board the Golconda), and have lately distinguished themselves in the capture of the Bocca Tigris forts, &c., hut no tidings whatever have been received of the fate of the Golconda. A letter from Madras says, there remains not a doubt that she foundered in a typhoon which occurred about the time that she must have been in the China seas. Dreadful as the loss of the President will be, how much more lamentable, in point of numbers, is this frightful calamity. BAPTISM BY IMMERSION.—This very i nteresting ordinance was performed in the Parish Church of Bradford, on Tuesday last, by the Vicar. The case was that of a young woman of 19 years of age, whose parents were Baptists. She being attached to the Church, bat participating in the feelings of her parents as to the desirableness, if not necessity, of im mersion. had stated her wish to Dr. Scoresby, some weeks before, to be baptized in the church, if she could have the sacred ordinance administered in that manner. The church wardens, with their accustomed attention to the scriptural injunction to have all things done "decently and in order, provided for this, an d s i m il ar occas i ons, a f ont, on : t h e model somewhat of an ancient Egyptian bath, cut out of a solid block of stone, and amply sufficient for the convenient im mersion of an adult person. The young woman being pre pared by some female friends who attended her, as witnesses, in the vestry, in a dress fitting for the occasion, over which was thrown an amp l e c l oa k , was con d ucte d b y her friends to the font, where (the circumstance not having transpired) a small select congregation of persons' piously interested in the impressive sacrament were assembled. The font was as cended by temporary steps, whilst the descent into the water was by stone steps within. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF ASTLEY'S THEATRE BY FIRE. —We regret to state, that shortly after four o'clock,on Tues day morning the southern portion of the metropolis was aroused to a state of excitement beyond description, by the outbreak of a fire most awful in its ravages—the total de struction of the above place of amusement. Astley's Theatre is now reduced- to a heap of ruins, while the destruction of property amounts to several thousand pounds. It appears* from the best sourcts of information, that the fire originated in the stables, which joined the north end of the theatre facing Stangate-street, and which is supposed to have been occasioned by some defect in the gas. There were three watchmen employed in the interior of the theatre, besides a fireman; the duties of these men, it is said, were to attend to the interior of the theatre. It seems they were first alarmed as to the existence of the fire by it breaking in a vast mass into the body of the theatre. Although engines that were connected with the theatre were brought into play, such hold had the fire obtained, that it defied the utmost efforts of human power to stop it. They instantly rushed out of the place and alarmed the inhabitants. As may be imagined, indescribable confusion took place. Messengers were sent in all directions for the fire engines, which arrived in quick succession; however, by the time they got to work the entire building presented one body of fire. At six o'clock the destruction was completed, only the bare walls being left. We could have wished that it had been in our power to say that every individual escaped, but unfortunately such was not the case. Shortly after the fire had in some degree been subdued, one of the female servants was missing. She was, however, seen to jump out of one of the back windows over the stables, and it was supposed that she had been taken into one of the neighbour's houses, but as no tidings could he obtained, a painful anxiety was manifested, and all doubts of the poor creature's fate were removed by the discovery of her remains at half-past nine o'clock, which were placed in a she'll, and removed from the spot of her death. Out of the great number of horses belonging to Mr. Ducrow, three only have been destroyed, besides a " lear ned donkey." The number of persons who are reduced by this unfortunate ca lamity to poverty are about 200, 80 of whowasm were in the re ceipt of a weekly salary. The treasury saved as far as concerned the receipts of the previous night. The fire is supposed to have originated in the stables from an excess of gas. About two months since the theatre had a very narrow escape from destruction by a similar accident. Mr. Ducrow is insured, we understand, in the Royal Exchange, Phcenix, and British fire offices. This the third time the theatre has been destroyed by a similar calamity. The first time in the life of Mr. Philip Astley, the second time about thirty-five years ago, when Mrs. Davies, the wife of the partner of Mr. Astley jun. fell a prey to the flames. Several of the houses in the Westminster-road and Amphitheatre -row are damaged at the back. The amount of the property destroyed is seve ral thousands. Great praise is due to the police of the L division for the service they rendered on the occasion. On entering what was the circle, fragments of the scenery and machinery were observable, also a portion of the superb chandelier which occupied the centre of the ceiling, originally presented by his late royal highness the Duke of York to the late P. Astley, valued at that period at five hundred guineas. A number of small houses and tenements in the rear of the theatre were burnt, together with the prop ert y they con tained. The estimated loss is considered to be upwards of £20,000. PRICES OF TIMBER AT LIVERPOOL ' l 'W 0013, Deals, 120 stand. m. duty paid Duty.

"You must," said he,. "the names on this sheet write, Of all who slept beneath your roof last night— For I am one of those who've got a station, To take the census of the population; And as at every dWelling we must call, I hope without delay you'll write down all." Quoth I, " If what you tell me, friend, be true, You overrate the task you have to do ; To take the senses of the people ! truly, You need not call on half to do that duly • Pass by each door of lib'rul, tchig, and ra,— One half are fools, and t'other half stark mad ; From such, who seek by vile pretences, You cannot take, for they have lost—their senses.

MIDDLEWICH CORN *MARKET, JVN 8, New Wheat ga 4d to 9s 6d per 751b5., new Oats 38 4d to as 6d per 501bs. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 9. The Wheat trade is firm, but there is no difference in value :ince Monday, and other articles are unaltered. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 8 The sales of Wheat and Oats this day were to a very limited cx. tent, and, in some instances, holders of both submitted to a re duction of 6d per barrel. Oatmeal stood firm for the last day's rates, at which very little business was done. Bakers' Flour is without alteration since our last ; inferiors and thirds were dull, except for prime samples. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JuNE Prices of Butter have still a downward tendency ;—the insane acts of our agricultural destroying ministry much conducing to such a result. Fine Carlow &c., we cannot correctly quote higher than 94s—other kinds 86s hi 90. Pickled Butter offered ineffctually at 86s for seconds. Beef and Pork unaltered in price. The Murrain, (unfortunately too prevalent a disease amongst horned cattle,) has caused an increased consumption of Bacon.—we advance our quotations is to 28 for the best, Belfast meat being worth 56s to 57s per cwt.

SHREWSBURY FAIR In our fair, on Tuesday the Sth instant, the suppply of Sheep was not great, scarcely equal to the demand, but fat weathers sold readily at Sid per lb. out of the wool. The supply of weather Sheep for store was very small, and consequently good prices were obtained. Ewes and Lambs were scarce, and the quality not of the best description fat Lambs sold well, averaging 7d per lb. The number of Sheep penned at this fair was very limited, for the time of year. Pigs were selling well. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 7 Although our market to-day was on the whole fairly supplied with beasts as to numbers, the Beef trade, owing to the numerous attendance of dealers, and the favourable state of the weather. was brisk, at an advance in the currencies noted on Monday last of from , 2d to 4d per Blbs, and a good clearance was speedily effected. From Scotland we received 300 horned'and polled Scots by steamers. With Sheep we were largely supplied, yet the de mand for them was steady, at full last week's prices. Lambs came freely to hand, whilst the sale for them was animated at late rates. The Veal trade was dull. In Pigs little was doing. HULL CORN MARKET, JUNE 8 The duty on Wheat advanced last week to 24s Sd per qr. pre viously to which, duty was paid on about 10,000 qrs., leaving under lock in this port about 6,000 qrs. The arrivals during the past week are trifling, and the great bulk we may consider already here; prices of Wheat in Hamburg assimilate so closely to the prices here, that all inducement to purchase is taken away for the present ; the weather has latterly been very harsh and cold, and the business passing, either in free or bonded Wheat, has been of 'the most limited nature, so trilling that wedonotalterthequotations, but nothing doing in them. Cakes of both sorts without alteration. Bones very scarce, and 2s 6d to Is per ton dearer. This day's market has been met with a very short supply of farmers' Wheat, so much so that there was barely enough for the millers, and they were obliged to pay Is per qr. advance on last week's rates. Scarcely anything offering in spring corn; and the prices of Oats, Barley, Beans, &c., unaltered. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 9 The show of beasts was good in quality, but in number rather limited. Of sheep and lambs the supply was fair. Beef in good demand and id per lb. dearer. Mutton and lamb without change in value, but both met with ready sale. Nearly all sold. Beef, 61d to 7id per lb. Mutton, 6d to 7d. Lamb, Sd to gd. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JuNg 8 The improvement in the demand for Cotton, which we noticed yesterday, has not been followed up to-day; the trade having operated more moderately, and exporters only purchased to the extent of 150 bags Surats. The total sales are 1500 bags, consist ing of 100 Brazils, at 74d to 80; 30 Egyptians at Did to led; 303 Surats 3gd to sid, and the rest Americans, chiefly from Sid to nil. Prices remain without the least alteration. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 9, We have to report only a moderate extent of b:isiness in Cotton to-day, and the sales which are all to the trade, are from 2000 to to 2500 bags, without any change from the current rates of Friday last. The particulars consist of 'lOO Pernams and Cearas at 8d to Sid, 50 Bahias nd to Sd ; SO Maranhams did to 7id ; 30 Egytians pid to 10d ; 200 Surats 32d to sd, and the remainder Americans. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 10 The business done by the trade to-day has again been only to a moderate extent, but speculators having purchased 500 bags Americans and Soo Surats, has swelled the total sales up to 3500 bags. Prices are without material change, althougo in some in stances they are rather easier than in the beginning of the week. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 8. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 5. Son.) The imports of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Wheat, Flour, and Beans, from foreign ports, have been to a fair extent since Tuesday last, and the demand has continued very moderate for every article in the Corn Trade here, and in our country mar kets, at barely the prices then quoted, and in some instances a re duction of Id to 2d per respective bushel has been submitted to on Baltic Wheat and on Irish Oats. The duty on Wheat, from foreign ports, increased on Friday last Is per quarter; on Flour, about 72d per barrel; an on Peas, Is 6d per quarter; on other Grain no alteration : duty 23s 86 had been previously paid here during the week on about 16,400 quarters of Wheat, and on about 2000 barrels of Flour, and on about 1000 quarters of Barley ; doubtful of seeing any speedy reduction in the duties, or any alteration in the Corn laws before the next harvest be ascertained, the prospects for which, though generally noticed in the public papers as very favourable, and already very variously and dubiously reported, by compitent observers, throughout this district, particularly for Wheat, but it is as yet too early to form any decided opinion on this subject : very few transactions have occurred in bonded Grain or Flour, except two cargoes of Egyptian Beans, reported to have changed hands on the passage at about 215 6d, and prices thereof continue as quoted below. The stocks now in this port, free for home use, are estimated at about 70,000 quarters of Wheat, and at about 8,000 barrels of Flour, and about 5,000 quarters of Beans, including the foreign recently released; and about 60,000 quarters of Wheat, about 104,000 barrels of Flour, and about 11,530 quarters of Beans, in bond; of all other Graiu, free or in bond, they are very small. Hay harvest in the south of England is reported to have com menced under very fabourable circumstances. At this day's market there appeared a little more confidence in, the - trade, and sake were effected to a limited extent of Wheat and Flour at the prices of this day week the demand for all other ar ticles was very moderate at barely the prices quoted.
