3URGLARN On Monday last, Richard Whiteside, wheelwright; John I - ^k, sawyer ; Thomas Halton, padmaker ; and George I • mechanic, were brought before the magistrates at " charged with having broken into the house of - Manor House, in Fulwood, and aling 913 in notes, gold, and silver sand at George Moore, furniture broker, -coring a portion of the money, knowing stolen. The manner in which the discovery ~otiery was effected was as follows :—The four men d as the thieves had gone to the Wool Pack public se, on Friday night week, and on their goin g in they took Al themselves to order a man , who acts as brewer at the cruse, out of the room, when he suspected that their motives .or so doing could not be good ones ' and he accordingly had the curiosity to peep through a hole in the door, to watch their actions, and he saw one of the men put h is hand u p the ,nev and scrape down a quantity of soot, which he put in his jacket pocket ; the men soon after left the house. Meanwhile information had been given at the police-office, and Curl and Hanby, two of the officers, proceeded imme diately to Fulwood, to learn if possible a description of the irs, but the disguised state in which they were when ')bery was committed, and the fright and excitement Winch their unseasonable and alarming visit had caused 'to Mrs. Wheeler, prevented them from obtaining much infor icy learned enough, however, to justify them own opinions in at once taking into custody the who have turned out to be the actual perpetra bort search they succeeded ...ae, Birbeck, and Halton. Challoner hue and cry" raised,suddenly absconded, a s to say he was overtaken by his own conscience re he was made the prisoner of his pursuers ; he tra i as far as Woodplumpton, and when there, under areal behaved in a very extraordinary . manner, having once attempted suicide by another time by drowning, and finally he sur aimself, when he became the prisoner of an officer ural police force, and was brought to the county ration-house in this town, where he remained till ay forenoon, until he was taken to the Town-hall. a the inquiry was to be gone into, it was found neces to admit Halton as evidence against his companions, a cumstance somewhat to be regretted, for from all accounts a was most actively concerned in all the criminal prepara ions before, and the proceedings at, the burglary. From this man's statement, then, it seems that, after leaving the Wool Pack public-house (where they had not anything to drink), they went towards the Moor, and on arriving at the serpentine walk in the Moor Park, they exchanged each )ther's clothes, and at the same time blacked their faces with the soot procured at the Wool Pack. .They then went o the house, and after trying all the doors and windows, rid, finding them fast, broke a square in the cellar window id then opened it, and two of them went into the house, -nened the front door and let in the third, the remain -- left - to keep watch outside.

The door was opened and her money demanded, when she handed them her purse. This one of the fellows took, and taking out the money, re turned the purse, but insisted on having more money. Mrs. W. gave them her keys, but she was immediately told she knew much better than they where the property was, and hat it must be immediately forthcoming. • She then un ',ld the drawer, and gave them, as she believes, ninety is in bank notes. These they threw on the bed, say should not take them, but that they must have more Ad ; and on her telling them that they were Bank of Eng and notes, and as good as gold, one of the gang pocketed hem. They next visited the servant's room, and demanded ler money, but on her telling them that she had none, one of the fellows went to overhaul her box ; but he was told to let it alone, for that she was only a poor girl, and it was no use taking her clothes. Their next application was for some thing to eat, and they went down stairs into the pantry, (making the servant accompany them,) and there demo lished a quantity of cold beef and bread, and some eggs, -racking their jokes at the same time they were cracking They then departed, and went into a field near ton, and divided the gold and silver, Halton re - his share twenty-three shillings. The burglary between twelve and one on Saturday morning, -ne same was made well known during the day, in course which one of the men again went to the Wool Pack, and then offered to treat the brewer with a glass of rum, to pay 'or which he took out of his pocket some money, which the sewer observed consisted of both gold and silver ; and he , )n afterwards made known what he had seen, and also suspicions which the conduct of the men excited. We '^.e misguided men cannot urge any extenuation t, inasmuch as they were all fully em at their respective trades, and as to Challoner, his toyer stated that he considered him one of the cleverest ,rkmen in Preston. They were all at the conclusion Jf the hearing committed to the House of Correction to take their trial at the next sessions. On Wednesday a per son named Edmund Metcalf, retail beer - seller, Spittals' Moss, was taken into custody on suspicion of having received some of the stolen money, when he at once acknowledged that he had two £lO. notes in his charge, which he said he got at ouse of Moore's mother, by his directions, ou Monday This Metcalf was brought before the magistrates at Town-hall, on Thursday, and after the enquiry had been ae into, he was allowed to put in bail for his appearance at .e sessions. It seems that a £2O. note was found in a cess -4)01 in the Old Cock Yard, which Challoner admits to hay thrown there, and it has also been ascertained that the t at the Spread Eagle public-house was sent by the with a £lO. note to get changed at Mr. Helmes's, grocer, on Saturday, which note Mr. H. subsequently paid to a commercial traveller from Liverpool. The prisoner Halton also confesses that there were seven sovereigns in gold, and some silver among the property stolen. These sums however only make a total of about £5B. while Mrs. Wheeler is quite confident that she was robbed of nearly £98., viz., in two £2O. notes, five £lO. notes, seven sove reigns, and nearly a pound in silver ; what therefore may have become of the missing £2O. and two £lO. notes is at present a mystery, for the men persist in saying that they only brought away the four notes, and the gold and silver. which they have accounted for. The apprehension of this gang is a most fortunate circumstance, as there is too much reason to believe that they have been connected with the other robberies which have been committed in the neigh bourhood, indeed it has been stated by a person in the House of Correction, under sentence of transportation, that two of them were actively concerned in the highway robbery on Mr. John Wilding, of Hankinson House, in Myerscough, which took place a short time ago, between the Black Bull, in Broughton, and Broughton Church, when he was robbed of early £2o.—Preston Pilot. light hear it— ther—and con I the windo of their guilty coduc prison( COMBINATION. — The Irish labourers employed in the , ks on the Shannon have entered into a regular combina according to rule and under the Ribbon system, to wage lainst the English workmen sent over by the company. ," says Mr. O'Connell, " I am anti-English." shall we be at them, Counsellor ?" ask his follow present time is always the best, responds the Coun• ereupon the Irish peasantry rise in a body, and beat, and nearly murder the unfortunate Sassen is.

The name of the second man is Briggs, and he comes from the same neighbourhood as Dickinson. A reward of £lO has been offered for the apprehension of both the men ; and Dickinson is described as dressed in a light coloured round jacket. Briggs, who is taller than the other, has a very red face, and was dressed in dark clothes, his coat being of a brownish colour, and made with pockets on each side. Both the men are said to be desperate characters. DISCOVERY OF AN EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—It will be remembered that at the beginning of last month the house of J. M. Yeeless, Esq. of Bathford, was burglariously entered, and a quantity of valuable property taken away therefrom, consisting of jewellery, a double-barreled gun, clothes, &c., to the amount of nearly £lOO. Mr. Yeeless having been very kind in rendering pecuniary and other assistance to the poor in the parish, a universal feeling of sympathy was aroused, and there was a general anxiety manifested to discover the perpetrator of the robbery. Until Sunday - last, however, the affair remained a mystery, notwithstanding the vigilance and activity of Mr. Hall, the chief officer of Bath. Many circumstances had come to his knowledge which threw a shade of suspicion round several parties, but until the day mentioned, nothing had transpired that would enable him to fix the charge on any individual. From information which he had received of the burglar whom we are about to name offering for sale a portion of the property, it was discovered to be one of Mr. Yeeles's own servants, named James Mizen, who had been engaged as an assistant in his garden. Minn occasionally slept in the house, but he had lodgings at a Mrs. Crow's, in the same village. Great confidence had been placed in the man, and he had been treated with much kind ness by Mr. Yeeles, which renders the act one of greater atrocity. As a proof of this, Mizen, some time ago, told his master, that on his return from Chalfield, where he had been visiting, he had been stopped and robbed of his watch and three sovereigns; and Mr. Yeeles thereupon not only gave him money towards making good his loss, but Mrs. Yeeles also got up a penny subscription amongst his fellow-servants and others of his acquaintance for the same purpose. What makes the matter still worse is, that since the discovery of the robbery, this story turns out to have been a vile fabrication, a duplicate of the watch having been found upon him, he having pledged it for 10s. at Mr. Archard's, in Bath. From having been in the house of Mr. Yeeles a great deal, Mizen had an opportunity of seeing the disposition of the property therein, and,finding that some of the more valuable portions were in Mr. Yeeles's dressing-room, it appears that he selected that as the scene of his unprincipled conduct. It seems that Mizen came over the fields from his lodgings, and gained access into the grounds of Mr. Yeeles through an out-house leading into the green-house, and it was through this window that Mizen effected an entrance. He bored a small hole with a gimlet in the woodwork, and by that means starred the centre pane of glass, so as to enable him to get his hand in and unfasten the hatch. He then had easy access to the iressing-room, which is on the ground, a passage only sepa 'ating it from the dining-room. The more valuable of the tolen property, such as a diamond ring, gold pencil-case, 31d studs, pins, &c., were on the tables in the room, where had been left without the slightest suspicion. On --h.msion, by Mr. II all, early on Monday morn ase was found upon him, and he told Mr. wuald save him any further trouble about the he would find it in a box at his lodgings.

On her recovery, she g ave up the _id Pin, which she said Mizen had given her as one which has ad his hair in it as a proof of his untiring affection. Thus this extensive robbery been unravelled, and the thief cap tured, much to the satisfaction not only of Mr. Yeeles him self, but of his neighbours, who warmly congratula te him on the discovery. Mizen has been committed to the assizes. — Bath Chronicle. to recover it lived DESTRUCTION OF THE SHIP AUSTRALIA The following are extracts from a letter received in Edin burgh, from a cabin passenger of the brig Australia, in which the dreadful hardships' to which the unfortunate crew and passengers were exposed, after the destruction of the vessel, are detailed with but too faithful accuracy. The picture ....,. ......... , drawn is most vividly pourtrayed ; and although the chief incidents in the dreadful story are mentioned, the most har roling details are avoided. The delivery of the great ma jority of these on board is truly remarkable ; and few indeed will peruse the following, without participating in the feeling of thankfulness to the Almighty for their deliverance, so elo quently expressed by the writer. We have not as yet heard of the receipt of Captain Yule's first letter : " I shall endeavour to give you an account of this awful calamity, and the miseries we have endured since ; for pre serving me to be able to do so, I trust I shall ever be grate ful to Almighty God who heard our cry, and has wonderfully guided us and brought us to this land. " The 25th of December being Christmas day, we were becalmed, and from many associations, that day was spent very happily. In the morning we killed a shark : and I pre vailed on the captain to lower the stern boat to get a few hours shooting at the sea birds, which surrounded the ship in great numbers, which he was kind enough to allow. We had an excellent day's sport. I shot four of those lac ge birds the Albatross, they measured from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other, ten feet ; we had them dressed, intending to eat them for our New Year's dinner, hut, alas ! our expec tations were miserably frustrated, and instead of the happi ness we expected, we were on that day a crew of half-starved miserable creatures, our New Year's dinner consisting of a quarter of a biscuit soaked with sea water, about two inches of raw ham, and a table spoonful of water. " From the 25th to the 29th we had very rough weather, the ship rolling tremendously. We had supped at seven o'clock, and went upon deck after, as was our usual custom. On going below to the cabin, a smell of smoke was perceptible. which was thought might proceed from the steward's pantry, or some of the ladies' berths. We soon found on removing the goods from the after-cabin and passengers' berths, that the smoke proceeded from the hold, and was now increasing rapidly. We now hove the ship to, being off the Cape of Good Hope, in lat. 35 30, and long. 8, the Cape being 34 30, and long. 18, so that we were upwards of 500 miles in a direct line from land, and sailing with every sail set the ship could carry. The order was now given to throw the cattle over board, break in the bulkhead to endeavour to get at the fire with water, and to open the main hatches. The confusion on board was now awful. One of the bulls got loose in en deavouring to get him overboard ; the deck was covered with spars and sails, and the smoke had now increased to such a degree, that no person could work or remain below for any time, and was bursting through every crevice of the ship fore and aft • it was impossible to get off the hatches to get at the fire with water. We now saw it was impossible to save the ship, and our exertions were therefore directed to get the boats launched and save our lives from fire ; the sea was running so high we thought it impossible the boats could live in it. After much difficulty we succeeded at last in getting the long boat that the bulls occupied overboard, and towed at the stern, into which we threw a few bags of biscuits, half a cask of water, some hams, a few cheeses, and a small jar of brandy. I was now almost exhausted working upon deck, and ran down below to get a drink. I had scarely finished, and on looking through the crevice we had broke out at the bulk -head in the after-cabin, I perceived the whole hold was like a furnace, and that the sooner we got into the boats the better. I ran to my berth, seized the only thing I cared much about, the Bible I got from Anne the day I left Scotland and her dear self; previous to this I threw in my portmanteau and hat-box into the long-boat ; the rest of the passengers could save nothing. The darkness was dispelled by the flames now bursting from the forehatches, which increased our exertions to get all our three boats launched ; at last this was accom plished in the midst of flames, and we all got safe into the boats ; we had scarcely got the boats cut from the ship, when the mainmast fell overboard with a tremendous crash, the ship and rigging being all in one volume of flame, and light ing the whole heavens and the surrounding atmosphere for miles round. It was now one o'clock : and thus, in a few short hours, were we launched upon the wide ocean, without mast or sail. Fortunately we had a compass ; and the sea, although running heavy, yet the wind was favourable ; and the boats, being all towed together, were allowed to drift be fore the wind until the morning light appeared, when we succeeded in erecting two blankets for sails, with two oars for masts, having cut away our third boat, and divided the crew into two—nineteen being in the long boat and nine in the small. We now steered in an easterly direction, endea vouring to make the Cape of Good Hope. For eight days and nine nights were we driven about on the mighty deep. To describe to you or to give to you an idea of the miseries we endured would be impossible. During the whole time not a dry rag was upon one of us. We had no seats even to sit upon, but lay like a parcel of pigs in the bottom of the boat, which, being used on board the ship as a house for the cattle, was in a moat filthy state with dung; and the waves, breaking in over the boat, washed the filth into our clothes, and the few blankets we had preserved. Day and night we were constantly obliged to be bailing . out the water, which we did with one of Gillon's soup canisters, it being the only vessel we had, which alternately served for this purpose and for mixing up our allowance of water three times a-day, with a quarter of a biscuit, and occasionally about half an ounce of raw ham or cheese. Thus, half-starved with hunger, thirst, and cold, on the morning of Wednesday, the 6th day of January, we came in sight of land in a most miserable con dition ; three of the men were lying in the bottom of the boat insensible, one deranged, and one dead from cold and the effects of drinking the sea-water : had our miseries been prolonged longer, I am sure few of us could have survived other twenty four hours. I despaired of ever seeing you again in this world, and wished, if I was to perish, that death might not be tardy in its execution ; but morning, noon, and night, our earnest prayers were sent up to God, who has wonderfully delivered us and brought us into a land of plenty. On Wednesday morning, then, our spirits were raised by seeing the land. Oars were put to the boats, and we pulled for it as hard as our strength would permit, and landed on a barren coast, about two hundred miles to the north of the Cape of Good Hope, and about ten to the north of Oliphant River. Here, after hauling up our boats, we rested during the heat of the meridian sun, which was ex cessive ; and in the evening erected a tent and kindled a fire. We here dug a grave for the poor boy who died, whose name was John Chisholm, from Inverkeithing, a steerage passen ger ; he has a brother and two sisters with us. We had next day the same melancholy office to perform to the lad who went mad ; his name is George Peat, likewise a steerage passenger, from Perth. This day we got all our blankets and clothes dried ' • and having our tent erected, we lighted a fire, and having divided our crew into four watches, we went to sleep. The next day we endeavoured to explore the country, and find some fresh water; but we could see nothing as far as the eye could reach but bush growing upon hot sand ; in short, all barren, and no trace of being inhabited. We therefore determined to get everything in order to prepare to march next morning as far as we could along the sea coast in search of a river, the mouths of seve ral being marked in the chart, and the captain was certain we could not be far from one. Accordingly, by day break, each with his burden of clothes, shoes, bread, or water, we commenced our weary journey over burning sands and under a scorching sun. It would have been of no availsuppose we had saved anything from the ship, as we were obliged to throw everything away except the clothes on our backs. The few things I saved in my portmanteau I divided amongst part of the crew who had lost their own clothes. The portmanteau and hat box were completely destroyed by salt water. My splendid wardrobe now consists of one pair of torn trousers, one coat, one vest, one pairs of, shoes and socks, one shirt, and one hat. With walking and resting alternately, we ac complished to walk about seven miles, and rested, wearied, hungry, and fainting from thirst; this was on Friday. On Saturday morning, having slept in the bush, we again re sumed our march, and about eight o'clock our drooping spi rits were aroused by the sight of a river, and going further up in quest of fresh water, discovered a fisherman's hut, and saw people walking about. Our despair was now turned to joy, and sincerely did we humble ourselves before our hea venly father and poured out our thanksgivings for leading us to our much longed-for haven ; and hoisting our colours, which, fortunately, we preserved, we were glad to see a boat with three men put off, and, on coming to land, one of them proved to be an Englishman, who happened to be on a visit to the Dutch fisherman's house, and who acted as interpreter between us and Mynheer Low, the boor's name. We told them of our heavy calamity and miserable situation, and in a few hours after we werc enjoying ourselves over a haunch of venison and rice, and, what in our eyes, was as precious as a glass of spring water. We were assured we were now among Christian people, and that we would want for nothing. We have indeed found it so. I could not have believed there was such kindness and hospitality in the world as these Dutch people have shown to us ever since we have been here •, the kindness we have experienced from these people is incredible. One storekeeper and farmer, on our arrival, sent us a present of six sheep, two bags of rice, coffee, tea, sugar, meal, brandy, and raisins ; othe r s sent us bread, fruit, &c. We remained at Oliphant's River until Monday last, in order that the governor of the colony might make arrange ments to transport us to Cape Town. We are now travel ling through the country, at government's expense, in three waggons drawn by fourteen oxen each. I have written you from here for the pur " pose of sending it forward to Cape Town by the waggons. ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE On the truth of the following narrative, or romance in real life, our readers may rely :—Oa the evening of the 7th of March last a young man, meanly attired, apparently about twenty years of age, knocked at the door of Mr. Madden, the relieving officer of the Kensington Union for the parish of Kensington, residing in Charles-street, and entreated he would afford him shelter for the night, as he was in a state of utter destitution, " having not where to lay his head." Mr. Madden, seeing that the unfortunate individual looked pale and weakly, asked him if he was not also unwell in health ; to which he replied, in a very mild voice, that he was suffer ing from a severe attack of influenza, and was very ill. Mr. Madden accordingly gave him an order for admission into the union workhouse for males, in Gloucester-road, Kensing ton, where he remained for eight days, and was attended during that time by Mr. Wright, the district surgeon of the union. On the 15th of March, having given the usual notice to leave, he discharged himself from the workhouse saying that he was going to Yepton, in Sussex, to which place he stated he belonged, although it has since been ascertained that on his entering the workhouse, and his name, &c., being, as is customary, entered in a book by the porter, he gave them as follows :—" George White, aged 16 years, came from Chelmsford, and going to Southampton." From the 15th of March, nothing further was heard of the individual in question by the workhouse authorities until Wednesdey last, when one of the turnkeys belonging to the Westminster New Bridewell, Tothill-fields, applied at the workhouse for information as to whether such a person had been an inmate there, and on being informed in the affirmative, he acquainted Mr. Madden that the party, although dressed as a man, and calling himself George White, was a female, and at present an inmate of the bridewell. From the statement of the turnkey it appeared that she had been committed last week from one of the police courts of the metropolis to imprison ment for seven days for an act of vagrancy she had been convicted of. On Tuesday last, on one of the officers of the prison visiting her cell, he noticed a remarkable fulness of her chest, and on desiring her to open her shirt, discovered, to his great surprise, that the prisoner was a female, and not a man. He immediately communicated this discovery to Lieutenant Tracey, the governor, who instantly sent for the supposed young man, and questioned her as to the cause of her adopting the present disguise. For some time she re fused to answer his questions, and all attempts to ascertain her real name or the address of her connexions were unavail ing ; but ultimately he elicited from her that she was not a married woman, and that her father and mother were both dead. Subsequently to their demise she had been residing with her uncle, by whose footman she had been seduced, which being discovered by her relation, she had left his resi dence about four months ago, since which time she had adopted the disguise of a man, in the hope of abiding dis covery, and had ever since been wandering about the coun try, until taken into custody as a vagrant. She obstinately refused to give any clue by means of which her name, or the residence of her friends can be discovered, beyond stating that she has a brother, who is a student in one of the col leges of Cambridge University. She is described as a re markably fine looking young woman, rather above the mid dle stature, an d her conduct, while both in the workhouse and in the superior edPuricsaotinon a . ff H o rd er s e x e t v r i a d o e r n d c i e n a o r f y I s f t e o r r having r e received e d a by the fact of her being enciente, and since the discovery she has been kindly placed by Li eut enant Tracey in the infirmary of the prison, and the proper authorities are at present en gaged in writing to the places before named, in endeavouring to obtain correct information respecting her, with a view to her restoration to her friends. On Wednesday last a public dinner was given to Commo dore Napier in Manchester, at which the Mayor presided, and many gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood were present. After the Commodore's health bad been proposed, he spoke as follows :—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, when I last had the honour of being in Manchester, some three or four years ago, with that distinguished warrior, Marshal Soult,—to whom you, in common with Liverpool and Bir mingham, paid that attention so worthy of the English cha racter, I little thought, that, in a few years afterwards, I should be here myself, and be received by you and others iu the very kind and handsome manner in which I have now been received, both in Liverpool and here this day. (Cheers.) Your mayor, gentlemen, has complimented me very much— I might almost say undeservedly—(cries of " No, no")—on the services which I have performed. Gentlemen, I found myself in Syria under very peculiar circumstances. The general officer who came out to Syria to take the command was on his arrival, in such extremely bad health, that he was obliged to return ; and Admiral Sir Robert Stopford (I sup pose for a want of a better) offered me the command of the Turkish troops entrusted to his charge. Certainly it was a new command to me, to find myself entrusted with that of a Turkish army—(hear)—and the Turks had not only an Eng lishman commanding their army; but they had also an Eng lishman commanding their navy [Rear-Admiral Walker.] — (Hear.) It is well known, that it was of the utmost import ance to affairs in Syria, that the war should be settled as soon as possible. We were threatened with a war by France ; we did not know but that at any moment the French fleet might appear off Alexandria, and combine with the Egyptian fleet there to attack us. We landed 5000 troops ; and we found ourselves surrounded by 20,000 Egyptian troops, who were north, south, east, and west of us. We thought it was ne cessary at once to do something. They allowed me to form my own plans, and I followed the example of the illustrious Duke of Wellington, under whose banner I had the honour of serving. (Great cheering.) We were opposed in Syria, by Ibrahim Pacha, and a large army. In four days we were ready to receive their forces. The pacha bad always been noted as a very great general, as well as Suleiman Pacha ; and we therefore thought it necessary to act with the great est circumspection. We were perfectly unacquainted with the roads of that country, and the first ten days were em ployed in acquainting ourselves with the different positions where Ibrahim Pacha 's army was stationed. He had then upon our right 4000 or SCOO men under Suleiman Pacha ; and after looking for them to attack us, for eight or ten days, it may naturally be supposed that we began to get impatient ; and as he would not come to us, why, as was the natural result, we went to him. (Loud cheers and laughter.) It was our first affair ; and having with us 500 marines, and not knowing how the Turkish troops would fight ; knowing that the marines were accustomed to war, we sent the ma rines forward to attack him ; but, long before we could get near the Egyptian troops, the pacha marched them off in double quick time, and we had the pleasure of taking 600 or 700 prisoners in the course of about half an hour. (Cheers and laughter.) Our position we saw was a dangerous one, and we were obliged to come back again, double quick, and we returned to our former position at D'Jouni ' where we arrived safe that night. This took place on the 24th Sep tember. On the 26th, it was determined to attack some of their fortified places ; we went by sea to Sidon, and took that city in 24 hours, and brought back with us 3,000 pri soners. (Loud cheers.) It was a very new thing for our Turkish troops to fight with a regular army ; the old Turkish troops, the Janissaries, having been destroyed by the late sultan. These new troops were, for the second time, brought into action on the heights of Syria; and I must do them the justice of saying, that I never saw men behave better than those young soldiers. After the capture of Sidon, it was ne cessary to do something with the fleet. Beyrout was not yet taken ; there was a strong force in it ; the place was doubt ful, for the inhabitants were the sultan's subjects, but it still remained doubtful which side they would espouse ; when we determined to attack it. We marched from D'Jouni upon the heights of , with the intention of joining the prince of the mountains, and so to descend upon Beyrout ; but we found ourselves opposed to such a large force of the Egyp tians, under Ibrahim Pacha, that it became necessary to at tack them. I made myself acquainted with the tactics of Ibrahim Pacha, which were always to turn to the enemy's left; at night, I passed over some troops into his rear, and the next night we attacked him both front and rear • and after half an hour's hard fighting, we destroyed nearly the whole of its forse. (Hear.) The consequence of that was the evacuation of Beyrout and the whole of the mountains of Lebanon, and the total liberation of the peasantry of the country. (Cheers.) After that it was necessary to do something further; and it was determined by the com mander-in-chief to take the whole naval force, together with three thousand or four thousand troops, to Acre, the result of which you know. (Cheers.) That result was owing en tirely to the skill of British seamen. In former wars many actions were of course fought by our seamen with ships ; but it had been very rare for them to fight batteries. One exception was the taking of Algiers under Admiral Lord Exmouth, and Acre was the next. There they showed such skill, that, from the superiority and excellence of their firing, the place was taken in three hours with hardly any loss at all. (Hear.) I now come to a subject which you have complimented me a great deal upon—my negotiations with Mehemet Ali. I was sent off to Alexandria. It was then towards the end of the season, and the beginning of winter. We had only 10,000 Turks in Syria for the defence of Sidon, Bey rout, Jerusalem, Joppa, and Acre. Ibrahim Pacha had collected 50,000 men; and, knowing the vicissitudes of war, and that delays are dangerous, rtook upon myself the responsibility of propos ing to Mehemet Ali peace. (Most enthusiastic cheering.) I was quite aware that I was treading on delicate and dan gerous ground, because I was poaching on the province of the diplomatists ; nevertheless I attempted it, and accom plished it. The diplomatists thought their trade was at an end ; they protested against my convention, and upset it ; the chiefs in Syria upset it also ; so that there was fearful odds ; the Turkish admiral, four ambassadors, and a com mander-in-chief against me—(hear. hear)—still I was satis fied I had taken a clear view of the subject ; and I felt satis fied, that, by the time the despatches reached this country, they would be better understood ; and I am happy to say, that I received most complimentary letters from both Lord Palmerston and Lord Minto, highly approving of the con vention which I had entered into. (Great cheering.) I bad the satisfaction of being sent to Alexandria to see that condi tion carried out ; and I must do Mehemet Ali the justice of saying, that, from the beginning to the end of the business, he acted in a fair, open, straightforward manner. He gave orders for the immediate evacuation of Syria ; he gave up Turkish fleet ; he paid that fleet—not to the whole extent, for he had not the money—but still he paid them what he could ; he victualled them, and sent them back, with his own officers, to Constantinople. lam excessively sorry to say (perhaps it may not please at all points, but it is best to tell the truth), that the Turkish government did not act with good faith in this business ; they sent orders to their officers in Syria to examine into the state of Ibrahim Pacha's army, and, if it was found to be weak, to attack him, but, if strong, to let him alone. They even went so far as—[we could not hear the few following words J—contrary to the protest of that gallant brother officer of mine, Sir C. Stuart, and Col, Mitchell, both of whom protested very strongly against the shedding of more blood. I will go further and say, that the officer who was employed, by the interest of Lord Ponsonby, was protested against by the Turkish government for taking this course. The dragoman of the porte, sent by Lord Ponson by, ourambassador, handed his protest to the Turkish officer, for not breaking the convention, and acting against the Pacha. I am sorry to say, gentlemen, that the Eastern question is still unsettled. After Mehemet Ali had acted in the best manner possible ; after the sultan had got the fleet out of his hands, he then sent him conditions which it was morally im possible that he could accept. He accepted the liberal part of them ; he accepted the hatti scheriff to abolish slavery and give up his monopolies ; hut it was impossible for him to let the porte appoint which of his sons they thought proper to rule Egypt after his death. Another condition which the porte wished to impose upon him was what he could never accede to—that of taking away from him the power of ap pointing his officers to command his troops. Mehemet Ali did me the honour of consulting me on the subject ; it was a tender and delicate one ; but I certainly could not advise him to accept the terms offered. (" Hear," and a voice, " certainiy not.") Gentlemen, the very instructions that we had from home were to carry on the war in Syria with as little loss of life as possible—hear, and cheers) ;—but, though we endevoured to observe this as much as possible, the Eng lish army sent to the other world not less than ten thousand human beings. (Hear.) Gentlemen, I will not further de tain you, but again, thanking you, wish all prosperity to the town of Manchester. (Great applause.) AWFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION.-THIRTY-TWO LIVES LOST. An explosion, attended by a deplorable sacrifice of human life, and involving an almost inconceivable amount of suffer ing, occurred at Willington, four miles east of Newcastle, a few minutes after one in the afternoon of Monday last. " Bigge Pit"—for so the scene of the catastrophe is named—is one of the several series of workings at Willington colliery, the pro perty of Matthew Bell, Esq., and Co., and was for a con siderable time closed, having been brought into active opera tion only a very short time ago. The workings are, there fore, comparatively, not extensive, the east headway running 220 yards, and the west headway 280 yards, while that to the north is even much shorter. The shaft is sunk to the depth of 140 fathoms, the High Main Seam being passed through, and the working of the Bensham seam fairly carried on. There were employed in the pit at the time of the explosion 35 men and boys, and the first intimation which those at the bank received of their fellows' danger, was a tremendous re port, accompanied by a dense volume of smoke. The effect upon the earth for a considerable distance round, is said, in some degree, to have resembled that produced by the shock of an earthquake, the whole surface appearing, as it were, to quiver. The noise was heard far in every direction, more especially eastward, the wind at the time blowing strong towards that quarter ; and the melancholy, tidings were thus proclaimed throughout the whole neighbourhood by the very agency which wrought the mischief. Relatives, and all in any way connected or sympathizing with those engaged in the work were drawn to the spot, manifest ing in every look And action the dismal anxiety, the gloomy forebodin, or the intense sorrow, with which the occur rence had overwhelmed them. Two men—Michael Ranson and Henry Dunn—and George Charlton, a boy, all sinkers, were employed at some distance in the east headway, and were made sensible of their danger by the dust and wind which came upon them. Fortunately the after-damp was spent, and they reached the shaft without being injured : there they found that stones and wood-work at the bottom were torn from their places and had fastened the " cage," but, after much labour, they were rescued from their perilous position and conveyed to the top in safety. Without loss of time, and with a readiness which, while it bespoke their feel ing, displayed their courage, a body of workmen descended and forthwith commenced their melancholy work. The la bour, exhausting though it was, was continued unremittingly, until the bodies of the 32 sufferers were recovered. Two horses, in the northern division, were found quite d ea d ; and in the same direction where the three sur v iv ors were , w as found an old pony, which, though nearly starved, was unhurt. The stable was burnt down, and an unknown amount of other injury was effected.—Durham Advertiser. THE ARMY.—A general order has been issued from the Horse Guards on the subject of the puni s h men t o f a so ldi er of the 1 1 th Hussars in the Riding House at Hounslow on Sunday fortnight, under the direction of the Earl of Cardi gan.

The attention of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Committee has been seriously directed to the measure which is now understood to be under the consideration of the gov ernment, by which the British market would be opened to foreign, and therefore to slave-grown sugars. A memorial to Lord Melbourne on this subject, which is most deeply inter esting to humanity, has been adopted by that body, and was presented to his lordship on Friday, by a deputation consist ing of the following gentlemen :—Messrs. Samuel Gurney, Josiah Forster, George Bennet, - John Beaumont, Edward Gurney, John O'Connell, M.P., E. N. Buxton, and Henry Sterry. The noble premier received the deputation courte ously, and assured them that the memorial should receive the serious attention of the government. The following is the memorial : To the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Melbourne, &c. My Lord,—The rumoured intention of her majesty's gov ernment to lower the duties on the staple productions of the British colonies, and to make such other arrangements as shall admit the produce of slave as well as free labour into the British market, having come under the consideration of the British and Foreign Anti- Slavery Society, they venture respectfully to lay the result of their deliberations on the sub ject before your lordship. That the question of the reduction of duties is deemed one of vital importance, may be inferred from the amount of pub lic attention which has for some time past been given to it, bothin and out of parliament. On the one hand it is asserted that the welfare of the country at large, but especially of the labouring classes, and of the mercantile and manufacturing interests, peremptorily requires the reduction ; whilst on the other hand it is contended, that any such reduction would be destructive of an immense amount of capital in vested in the colonies, that their cultivation, as a conse quence, must be abandoned, and the important market they now afford to the manufacturer and the merchant be altoge ther closed. To the government, therefore, the subject must have been one of difficulty, if not of embarrassment ; pressed as it has been on their attention by parties of opposite views and con flicting claims. The committee conceive, however, that, whilst the expectations of those who advocate the reduction of duties as to the anticipated results of the measure are un duly raised, the fears of these who oppose it are as unduly exaggerated. No doubt, the immediate effect of the con templated reduction would be to lower the price of colonial produce in the British market, as it would bring the cheaper produce of Cuba and Brazil into competition with it ; but that it would materially increase the exports of manufac tured goods to either of those countries may be fairly ques tioned, since that, the committee apprehend, must depend upon the increase of population, and the general distribu tion of wealth amongst the community—a thing which can never take place where the great mass of the labouring popu lation are slaves. That the ultimate result would be to advance the price of the productions of those countries in the continental market, and also in this, must be obvious, inasmuch as every ton subtracted from the present supply of the foreign market to meet the demand of the consumers in this, must necessarily affect it; and, to whatever extent the reduction in the duties may diminish cultivation in the British colonies, it must, sooner or later, affect the exports to them. Cuba and Brazil will undoubtedly be benefited. The British colonies may, and most probably will, be injured by the measure. But, my lord, there are some who cannot look on the question as one of mere fiscal arrangement. They regard it as involving great principles and solemn responsibilies. In the relation which it bears to slavery and the slave-trade—in the strength it will give the one, and the impulse it will yield the other—the committee find an argument which ap peals with irresistible force to their convictions and feelings against it. It is not, and cannot be, a question with them, how far the political interests and commercial policy of this country may seem to require the measure; but whether the great prin ciples of universal justice and benevolence may not be com promised thereby. That in Cuba and Brazil, the great slave-markets of the western world, the cupidity of slave-dealers will be stimu lated to increase the number of their victims, and that the cart whip of the slave-drivers will be plied with redoubled energy to extort labour from reluctant bondsmen, should the reduction take place, there can be no doubt ; the committee would therefore earnestly deprecate the measure, as involv ing a criminal disregard of the liberty and welfare of mil lions of their fellow men, and of the sacred obligations of duty to the Most High. . . The committee are far from being opposed to the princi ples of free trade, in their fair and legitimate application. They are not in favour of monopolies. Hence they are de sirous of seeing the produce of other countries, raised by free labour, introduced into this. But they conceive that, to ad mit the produce of slave-labour into the British market on such favourable terms as these, which, it is understood, have been proposed, would, under present circumstances, give a bonus to slave-holders, supply a fearful impetus to the ne farious traffic in human beings, and consolidate a system of iniquity, which has been branded with deserved infamy by the people, the legislature, and the government of this coun try. Whereas it may be confidently expected, that the tem- porary pressure of high prices, already in process of re moval, will entirely give way, if the free system, which has happily been established in the British colonies, be not em barrassed in its infancy with difficulties with which it may not be able to contend. The documents laid before Parliament clearly prove, that the deficiency in the supply of produce from the British colo nies during the last two years, has arisen partly from the great change which has taken place in the condition of the labouring population, considerable numbers of them having, either wholly or in part, withdrawn from agricultural employ ments; partly from the unjust and severe laws which have been allowed to, go into operation, to coerce labour under a state of freedom ; partly from the injudicious arrangements of some, and the dishonourable proceedings of other planters, in the management of properties confided to their care; and partly from providential dispensations, such as the long con tinued and heavy rains in some colonies, and the length and severity of the drought in others. But these causes, the committee sincerely trust, will not be permanent in their continuance. To the Government they would confidently look to remove every unequal andi unrighteous law, and to purify and strengthen the administration of justice. To the proprietary body they would look to adopt such wise mea sures as shall promote the cheerful labour, and the full de velopment of the industrial energies of the liberated bonds men; and, above all, they would look to the Divine blessing to crown the great work of emancipation, which they are anxious everywhere to promote, with abundant success. The committee are much gratified on being able to state that, in the judgment of practical men, founded upon.accu rate information, no fears of a short supply of produce for the present year need be apprehended ; that the prospect of an increased quantity from the British colonies may b e rea sonably anticipated in 1842 ; and that there is every reason to believe that each succeeding year will yield still larger supplies than have hitherto been imported from them into this country. The late complete assimilation of the duties between East and West India sugar, will also greatly add to the stock of that necessary article for home consumption. In conclusion, the committee would respectfully , but ear nestly, entreat your lordship, and your lordship's colleagues in office, that, in the contemplated alterations in the tariff of customs duties, provision may be made for the exclusion of the produce of slave labour from the British market, and for the greater encouragement of free labour, by all practicable and legitimate means, th roug h ou t the world. On behalf of the committee, HENRY TUCKETT, Chairman. London, March 26th, 1841.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tits DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) The small arrivals noticed on Friday have been increased by a moderate supply of Wheat, chiefly from the North of Europe, and a liberal quantity of Flour from the United States and British America ; but of other produce the im ports fresh in for to-day are still rather inconsiderable. Although'a complete change from cold, harsh winds, to fine, mild, growing weather, has taken place since the close of last week, our market to-day was tolerably well attended by country millers, and the best sorts of English and foreign Wheats were in moderately fair demand, at nearly the rates of this day se'nnight ; all inferior descriptions, however, continued to meet a very difficult sale, and were further de pressed in value. _ _ English and Foreign free Flour, moving off slowly, hardly maintained our last currency, and Irish was nominally cheaper. In bonded Flour also very little business was done, and for such we reduce our quotations; New Orleans, from its liability to become stale, being offered on low terms. Barley, from the short supply at hand, was the turn dearer ; and fine Malt ruled quite as high as last week. — Beans and Peas were extremely dull, and the former is per qr. cheaper. _ . . _ • Oats, owing to the limited supply at hand, realised an ad vance of ld per 451bs ; and Oatmeal, being in fair request, commanded rather higher prices.

For Bengal there is a fair inquiry, but at low rates, and 2200 bags have been taken, chiefly at 67s 6d to 71s 6d per cwt. 400 bags Mauritius have also been disposed of,, at 68s to 73s per cwt. Foreign.—The sales this week are about 270 cases and 150 brig. Brazil, to the Refiners, chiefly at 22s for white, and os for brown Bahia, old, but of fair quality. 370 boxes white Havana taken for export, at 300 6d, and 108 brls. Porto Rico, for stores, at 23s per cwt. Bonded Refined.—This market remains quiet. Nothing re ported in Molasses. Coffee.—The transactions in Plantation have been very limited, comprising 70 casks Jamaica and 40 bags Demerara, at the quotations, 700 bags East India (gd duty) were sold at 35s to 38s for Pedang, up to 56s 6d for , middling Java. No sales of Foreign of any moment. 80 brls. ordinary Jamaica Ginger sold at 60s per cwt., 70 bags Pimento at 3d, and 1000 bags black Pepper at 3,1 d to 4id per lb, Nothing done in Cocoa. Rice.- 60 tces. Carolina, in bond, sold at 22s and 200 bags Bengal at the quotations. Rum.—No transactions to report. Tea.—Throughout the week there has been a fair demand for Congous and Twankays, at an advance of id to Id per lb on last week's prices; in the good and fine descriptions nothing doing. There has been some demand for Indigo since the close of the London sales, but this market is bare of suitable descriptions ; 20 serous sold at 5s Id to 5s 2d per lb. Nearly 200 chests of Shell Lac brought at auction 35s to 455, which is a little lower ; 63 chests of Camphor £lO to .4'lo 25 6d, 560 bags Catch 15s to 15s 3d, and 20 boxes of Borax 50s per cwt. Saltpetre and Nitrate of Soda remain dull; the sales have been moderate, and at lower rates, Dyewoods.—The sales reported are part of a cargo of Campeachy Logwood (damaged) at £8 17s 6d to sXg, 80 tons Jamaica at £6 2s 6d to £6 les ; 70 tons Savanilla Fustic at .e 3, and a small parcel of Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l3 per tou. There are no salas of Turpentine or Tar to report on the spot, but to arrive a parcel of Turpentine has been sold, the price of which has not been allowed publicly to transpire. The market both for pot and Pearl Ashes continue dnll, but the stock is gradually diminishing. The sales of Hides are not extensive, but full rates have been realized; 500 salted Lima are reported at 4d. 500 Buenos Ayres Ox at 4d, 100 good Monte Video Cow at 43d, 300 New York at aid per lb; and 783 Monte. Video Horse at ps 2d each. Tobacco.—There hasbeen no improvent in the demand, and the sales are consequently very trifling. The market for Brimstone remains in the same state of inactivity which has prevailed for a log time past, nor has the further reduc tion of 25s to 305 per ton announced this week at all tended, as yet, to increase the demand; the reduced scale of prices is given in the quotations of the day. No demand worthy of notice has taken place in Sumac. For the finer descriptions of Argols there has been more ready sale, and about 60 cases Florence and Bologna have been taken from 47s to 48s per cwt. ; with a few red Oporto at 335 per cwt. Brown Tartar and Cream of Tartar have been in fair request, without change in prices. No sales reported in Berries or flag Annatto. Madders and Roots continue in very limited demand. No sales reported in Quercitron Bark. After the large business in Olive Oil done last week, little remained here for dis posal, and the transactions this week have consequently been on a limited scale, at full prices. Notwithstanding the recent unfavour able report from Newfoundland of the prospects of the Seal Fishery, Fish Oils still sell but slowly, pale seal at £32 10s to .e 33 from store ; some inquiry appears, however, for the continental markets, considerably under the rates, but at the same time at much better prices than were paid for the new Oil last season, and a good de. 'nand is anticipated; the little advance required for Cod Oil has checked the improved demand noticed last week, and few sales have been made; £26 is the highest price yet paid. Pale Rrape and Linseed Oils are again in limited demand, and prices a shade easier. Oil of Turpentine is reported to have been sold lower this week ; but although the inquiry is by no means, brisk, the Dis tillers generally refuse to give way, and we make no alteration in the annexed quotations. Palm Oil.—The recent large purchases have contributed a good deal to reduce the stock, and thereby give firmness to the market; inciuding, a sale of 450 tons for export, the transactions this week amount to upwards of 600 tons, at fully last week's prices, and small lots have realized £34 15s to .€35 per ton. No business has transpired in Baltic Hemp or Flax; 100 bales Jute have been sold at £l3 Iss, and a small parcel of Sunn at .t'lB lOs per ton. Tallow.—A fair demand is still experienced; 49s is generally required for Petersburg yellow Candle, but, except for some retail lots, not more than 48s 6d has been realized, and 47s 6d to 48s for Odessa ; in South American no rales are reported, chiefly for want of supplies. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 23 Our market presents the same appearance of insipidity to day as for the last week—very little demand—and the busi ness does not exceed 2,500 bales.—The sales of the week are 14,620 bales, all to the trade. COTTON MARKET, APRIL _23 The demand has been very limited, and the market much de pressed throughout the week, the business being confined to the immediate wants of the Trade : prices of low and middling American have declined fully id per lb, whilst the better qualities are without change. Surat is id lower, and other kinds are heavy of sale at previous rates. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, Ffont the 16th to the 22nd instant, inclusive.

A rumour has been current to-day that it is the intention of the Ashton and Stayley-bridge spinners to resort to short time, which if generally adopted, will cause a continuance for some time of the present stagnation. The sales to-day are 2500 bales, at last Friday's prices. Several inef fectual attempts have been made to purchase at id down, but without any success. LIVERPOOL PRICES CURRENT. MADDER, Ip.

The imports from abroad are comprised in 1490 quarters of Oats, 1306 quarters of Beans, and 6350 barrels of Flour. From the 15th to the 21st inclusive, duty was paid upon 2934 quarters of Foreign Wheat. The importers of Baltic Wheat that arrived last week being anxious to clear of what remained for Tuesday's market, ex ship, submitted to a decline of 3d per bushel; 9s 8d to 9s 9d per 7011) having been taken, and that reduction had to be ceded on all the finer descriptions. The inferior qualities were offering at Id to 2d below the price quoted on this se'nnight. There has been no further change in the value of the former, but the latter were yesterday again id per bushel cheaper. The week's business of moderate amount. At an abatement of (ki per barrel there has been rather a better sale for free Foreign Flour ; United States ranging from 35s to 36s ; British North American from 33s 6d to 35s per barrel.
