We shall not weary our readers by again going over the arguments and statements by which we have repeatedly established this ominous truth. THERE IS THE FACT. We hate monopolies quite as cordially as the Sun; hut this political lumi nary, however bright may be its usual career, is in , a state of murky eclipse when it maintains that the re peal of the corn laws, or any other alteration or im vement in our legislative system, can ever NOW vide a home, and, at the same time, a profitable unemployed labour.

M., from Nenagh, and a party of sixty-six police, had previously arrived to preserve the peace. The first party which reached the town were met by this gentleman, and the flagman at once arrested and lodged in the police bar rack; but after some time the numbers which poured in from all quarters in military array with banners, sashes, music, &c., became so formidable and evinced such an angry spirit at the arrest of the flagman, that he was delivered up to them, and the police obliged to return to the barracks, where they remained all day. No further breach of the peace occurred. Father Ma thew administered the pledge to a late hour, and re sumed doing so this morning. We wonder much will Lord Ebrington carry out his proclamation against the offenders in this instance ? The authorities cannot plead ignorance of the names of the exhibitors, as they are known to the police, and, we are informed, have been taken down ; but, lest they should plead ignorance, we shall just state t h at any Moment that we may be applied to, we are prepared to furnish them with such information as will insure a conviction of some of the most prominent actors on the TEETOI We expres menting On LI I Ebrington nstitu At an ear ly hour on V lens of Kil occasion THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.

How such a Governmer. t can procure the support of honourable men, is one of those problems which we pretend not ability to solve. I noti (From the Speptator.) Our representatives are disposing of the business before them with railroad speed. The morning sittings work wonderfully well in passing the government bills through their different stages without discussion ; Mr. Brotherton might turn the fact to good account in his arguments against midnight legislation. During the two hours of extra sitting on Saturday last, sixty dif ferent subjects were brought on t h e tapis, and no fewer than nine public bills were, as the votes of the house inform us, duly " considered." The number of matters to which the attention of the house has been directed in less than a week—we quote from the votes before us, beginning with Saturday and ending with Thursday —amounts to 342. Among them, we observe iew entry in the votes, and a new sign of the times. 's ministers, petitions for their dismissal " ds under the date of Wednesday, the 22d, by the names of five places from which peti -3 that prayer have been sent. Next day the entry again occurs, " Queen's ministers, petitions for tiler dismissal"—aad this time the prayer roam from twenty places; a some instances more than one petition being forwarded from the same town. An instance of ministerial manoeuvring occurred in the House of Commons on Tuesday, highly characteristic of the favourite mode of escaping from, instead of facing difficulties. By the present regulations of the house, Tuesday is the only day of the five or six in the working week on which independent members can originate any motion ; the officials of the treasury-bench having precedence on all the rest. Lord Ashley, Mr. Grote, and other members, had precedence of the government on Tuesday, for the discussion of subjects, some of which were of great public importance, but such as the ministers disrelished. To get rid of these, a morning sitting was appointed ; at which the govern ment business was forwarded, out of its order; the house adjourned till the usual hour of meeting; when that time arrived, the ministers and their supporters kept away, and "no house" was the consequence. By this creditable trick, the troublesome business stands among the " dropped," and the evil day has been put off. EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PROVINCIAL MEDICAL AND SURGICAL ASSOCIATION. (Prom the Hampshire Advertiser.) The Eighth Anniversary of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association was held at Southampton, an Wednesday and Thursday last. The first day's proceedings took place in the Town Council Chamber, the Mayor having granted the use of the noble room for that purpose. There were pre sent at the Council Chamber on Wednesday, above one hundred of the most distinguished members of the profession resident in the southern counties, besides many distinguished names from London, Dublin, Glasgow, &c. • The committee were engaged in the preliminary business of the association from twelve till two o'clock. At half-past two the public proceedings of the day commenced. Dr. HASTINGS having moved that the president (Dr. Jeffreys, of Liverpool,) do take the chair, Dr. JEFFREYS took his seat amidst general applause, and having risen, delivered the following address : Gentlemen,—The unprecedented and distinguished position which the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association has now assumed, and the rapid progress it has made, in the comparatively short period of only eight years of its existence, places it high in the scale of importance; stimulating the zeal of its members, so as to prove the value of their labours and the utility of their efforts. It cannot, therefore, be a matter of surprise that each succeeding year ever will fur nish materials for a few passing remarks from those who enjoy the honourable and flattering distinction which 1 am now about to resign into more efficient and able hands. It is not my province to occupy much of your time by entering into detail of the proceedings of the last year, still . there are some points which I feel myself bound to notice, and I can not resist the opportunity now afforded me, of expressing to you the great delight and satisfaction I have in again meet ing you, at this, the eighth anniversary of the association. This gratification is rot a little enhanced by the successful impression which the association has made, not only in the Midland Counties, but from one extremity of the kingdom to the other; and I am led to believe that the reception which we shall now have, by our southern brethren add friends, will keep pace, in warmth and zeal, with the in creased temperature of their genial atmosphere. It would be an unpardonable omission in me. if I did not thus convey my sincere, frank, and grateful feelings to the association, not only for the distinguished honour which has been conferred upon me, but also for the very many instances of kindness, attention, and flattering expressions of approbation both from friends and fellow members, possessed of attainments, such as to make me doubly proud of the position in which I have been placed. It is with great satisfaction that I contemplate the advantages we are likely to derive from this meeting with our southern brethren ; and I venture to hope that before long we shall also visit the eastern, and every part of the dis trict over which our sphere of usefulness extends. Sir Ben jamin Brodie has told us in his retrospective address, at the last anniversary meeting of the Medical and Chirurgical So ciety of London, held February 25th, 1840*, that—" What ever brings a nu mber of men of our profession into friendly intercourse, and scientific conversation, will be useful in ex citing emulation, exercising intellect, and giving additions to their knowledge ; it maintains the zeal of the zealous, while it imparts a spirit of emulation to those previously with out it ; it removes that disgustful feeling so liable to be engendered by professional men, not personally acquainted ; to give us a better knowledge of ourselves, teaches us humility with re spect to our own attainments, and a respect for the opinions of others." These are sentiments so much in accordance with my own feelings, that I think they cannot be too often repeated, and 1 hope require no apology for recording them upon the present occasion. In compliance with the resolu tion passed by the association immediately after our separa tion in Liverpool, the petitions to parliament upon the sub ject of vaccination were signed by myself, in conjunction with Dr. Baron as chairman, and Dr. William Conolly as secre tary, of that section ; and from the manner in which the subject has been taken up, and the invaluable experiments of our diligent associate, Mr. Ceely, now published in our transactions, 1 think we may fairly claim a conspicuous share of merit in forwarding the immortal Jenner's discovery, and further securing its universal good. The able report read at our last meeting at Liverpool by Dr. Baron, and speedily afterwards published in the form of a pamphlet, is now in course of translation into the German language. In the mouth of August last the petition upon the long-looked-for subject of medical reform was sent up to both Houses of Parliament, and was presented in the House of Lords by the Marquis of Lansdowne, and in the Commons by Lord J. Rus sell. Upon no topic, perhaps, is' there a greater discrepancy of opinion amongst the members of the association than upon this all absorbing subject. Each extreme is supported with a warmth and earnestness not for me to dilate upon. It is. however, only by deliberating calmly upon the question that we are likely to arrive at just and profitable conclusions. There are, I think, very few practitioners of the present day who will not admit that some degree of reform and improve ment is loudly called for ; the extent of this, however, requires much calm investigation to determine and arrange, much firmness to carry out, and much legislative experience to adapt to our present necessities. A third petition to the legislature was sent up about the middle of May, for the purpose of obtaining a separate clause in the bill in prepara tion for taking the next census, expected to come out early in the next year, wherein it is thought important to ascertain that portion of the population who may be inefficient indi viduals, from sickness or infirmity distinguishing their sexes, by which means different localities would be marked by the difference and extent of disease, a point of vital importance in a statistical point of view. It appeared to me both fitting and desirable that an address of congratulation should be presented to our most gracious young Queen upon her marriage ; and in accordance with the precedent upon the occasion of the coronation, that a deputation should be appointed for the purpose of laying it before her Majesty— thus exercising our privilege, 'as loyal subjects, to approach the foot of the throne upon all occasions when such homage is called for, whether it be to rejoice with (Air Sovereign upon her own individual happiness, or to express the senti ments of a class of men who are proud to be useful members of society, amongst a great and powerful people. I deeply regret that existing circumstances would not allow me to collect the sense of the members in general ; I was therefore compelled to rest satisfied by appealing to some of the more experienced. Upon laying their opinion before the Council it was agreed that Dr. Forbes, of Chichester, and Mr. James, of Exeter, in addition to Dr. Boisrogon, and myself, should form the deputation. There were three gentlemen named as most suitable for presenting us, viz. Sir Astley Cooper, Sir James Clark, and our noble member for Liverpool, Lord Sandon ; the first of whom (Sir Astley) having previously expressed to me by letter, the " delight " he should have in doing so, and also as being an honorary member of the association, we considered fully en titled to the preference ; an attack of gout only two days be fore unfortunately prevented his personal attendance as he wished. During the last month my more especial attention has been attracted to two of our district branches—the New ton, or Lancashire and Cheshire, and the Shropshire and North Wales—at the anniversary meetings of which I had the happiness to attend, and I have great pleasure in saying that they are both increasing in numbers and zeal; and I do hope that the time is not far distant when our p ar e n t asso ciation will feel the effects of their exertions in useful prac tical communications, and more especially upon the subject of medical statistics—now placed in the hands of those who, I am confident, will discharge the duties of their office in a manner' which will do honour to themselves, and confer a benefit on the association. I have now, gentlemen, only to beg you will accept my heartfelt thanks for the high honour you have conferred upon me, and if I have failed in affording that satisfaction which the office of president demands, be assured that it has not been for the want of anxiety to do so, nor for want of zeal in your service, but from deficiencies which I feel sure will be favourably considered, and allowed for, by those distinguished members of the profession whom I have the honour to address. It only, therefore, remains for me to say, that it affords me sincere pleasure to transfer the dutiei of an office which has to me been mixed with feel ings of delight I never can forget, and by thus resigning in favour of a distinguished individual, so worthy of it as Dr. Steed, I am sure I do it to one who will ornament and im prove the superstructure of the foundation laid for him, and whose attainments, rank, and standing in this locality, at once secure for us an able and willing advocate, to strengthen the honour, respFtability, and importance of this most use ful, most beneficial, indefatigable, and, I think I may add, singularly successful association. ELECTION OF DR. STEED TO TIIS PRESIDENT'S CHAIR. —Dr. Jeffreys then vacated the chair, and the president elect, Dr. STEED, took the chair amidst universal applause. CONGRATULATORY ADDRESSES TO HER MAJESTY.— Dr. JEFFREYS rose to move that congratulatory addresses be presented to the Queen and her consort, Prince Albert, on their providential escape from assassination.—The PRE SIDENT said it was ,scarcely necessary for him to put the motion in the usual way ; he was sure there could not be a dissentient voice to the motion.—Carried unanimously. ANNUAL REPORT. Dr. HASTINGS then proceeded to read the report of the council, of which the following is an abstract : Every year since the establishment of the association, the council, in making the report, have bad to -congratulate the members on the steady advancement of its affairs in a course of uninterrupted prosperity ; and on the present occasion the sam e agreeable duty devolves upon your council, for on looking back on the past year, and surveying what, has been done, it will be found that no former year has more conspi cuously shown the advantages that result from the combined opt rations of the members than the present. TRANSACTIONS. —The eighth volume of transactions does not contain communications on so great a variety of subjects as those previously published, but the varied information which it contains on the very important subject of vaccina tion will, for a long period of time, ensure for it frequent perusal by all those who are engaged in the scientific and practical pursuit of this department of pathology. The ex perimental essay by Mr. Ceely, containing, as it does, so triumphant a confirmation of the views originally entertained by the immortal discoverer of vaccination, as to the identity of small-pox and cow-pox, very appropriately appears in the transactions of an association of professional men residing principally in the English provinces. The appointment of the vaccination section, two years ago, seems to have been at drawings an ex p e ns a princip a l st i mu l us i n encourag i ng M r . Ceely in his experi mental Inquiry.

Th e council are of opinion, however, that it would be highly im prudent for the committee to relax in their beneficial en dunning. VACCINATION tacTiox.--The report 033 vaccination wu printed immediately after the meeting at Liverpool for general circulation. The petition founded on that report was pre. sented to the House of Lords by the Marquis of Lansdowne, and to the House . of Cornmons by Lord John Russell. As the former nobleman had distinguished himself by his ex ertions when the second parliamentary grant was voted to Dr. Jenner, it was the wish of the council that his lordship should bring forward a bill to restrain small-pox inoculation, and to diffuse vaccination, in conformity with the prayer of the petition. Other duties rendered it impossible, bra at his suggestion the petition was read at length to the house. The result of this proceeding, and of the circulation of the report among several members of both houses, was a motion of Lord Ellenborough for a bill to promote vaccine inoculation, but leaving the practice of small pox inoculation untouched. This omission was iu part removed by a clause proposed by the Marquis of Normanby, with a view to restrain the latter practice. The council experience great satisfaction in per ceiving that the efforts of the association in drawing the at tention of parliament to this important subject had been so far successful. They regret, however, that Lord Ellen •borough's clause tends to throw the whole regulation of the practice of vaccine inoculation among the poor into the hands of the poor law commissioners and guardians. The council sent remonstrances to several members of parliament request ing an enactment might be framed more in accordance with the petition and with the tenor of the report. The bill has passed the legislature without these desirable alterations hav ing been made. The council are happy, however, to be enabled to state, that a clause has been introduced into the bill, which makes it a misdemeanor to inoculate for small pox, and thus, in this respect, the law is carried to the full extent of the expressed wishes of the association, and even beyond what they had dared to hope for. There can be no doubt there will be many thousand lives saved annually by this measure, a result highly gratifying to every humane mind, and especially to the members of this association, connected as it is with the labors of the vaccine section. BENEVOLENT COMMITTEE.—The council regret that this fund is not supported as it deserves to be. MEDICAL REFORM.—The question of medical reform has bee❑ much advocated, from the last meeting to the present, by members of the profession in all parts of the United King dom, It was generally understood that Mr. Warburton would have aroused from the inactivity which has of late characterised him in dealing with this subject, and would not have allowed the present session to pass without bringing his views before the House of Commons. , EMPIRICISM —The existence of quackery is so intimately connected with the organisation of the medical profession, that the council are not disposed to consider that auy means will be effectual in restraining the former until the latter is improved. MEDICAL ToPOGRAPEIT.—The council have arranged that the advancement of medical topography shall beapeedily un dertaken by a few of the members residing in different parts of the kingdom, and the result of these observations be re ported to the annual meetings. THE COUNCIL'S CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN, on the occasion of her marriage, had been presented by Dr. Jeffreys and other associates. CoNcursloN.—The council forcibly appeal at this juncture to all the members of the association to urge them to re newed exertions for the prosecution of the noble objects for which the society is formed. The endeavours of the asso ciation have been crowned with success, as great as the most ardent mind could have anticipated ; but much remains to be done, not more, however, than may be fully effected by the patient and untiring perseverence of a body of en lightened men, united together by the bond of peace and harmony, animated by the desire of improving the profession which they cultivate, and thus daily becoming more signally useful in alleviating the sickness and suffering of the human race. Dr. MACARTNEY, of Dublin, moved— " That the report of the council, now read, be adopted." Dr. LE FEUVRE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The thanks of the meeting were afterwards severally voted to Mr. Wakley, Dr. Jeffreys, Dr. Hastings, Mr. Sheppard, and the members of the council. The Thackeray prize of £5O was then Awarded to Dr. Da vidson, of Glasgow. A series of resolutions, on the subjects of the Poor Law Committee's Report, and Vaccination, was then submitted to the meeting, after which the " Report of the Committee appointed to watch over the Interests of the Profession " was read. SECOND DAY. On Thursday morning the members of the association as sembled at a public breakfast at the Victoria Assembly Rooms. RETROSPECTIVE ADDRESS.—At twelve o'clock the mem bers of the association assembled again at the Council Chamber to hear the retrospective address delivered by Dr. Scott, of Liverpool.—The report was exceedingly voluminous, embracing a vast mass of medical and sur gical matter. We can only find room for the concluding remarks, which were thus given by the doctor :—ln the foregoing part of my address, I have been compelled to take a very cursory and imperfect survey of subjects de serving more extensive and careful consideration. I cannot, however, come to a conclusion without adverting to some matters of a more general nature. Tbere seems to me a brighter day dawning upon our profession than has hitherto illumined our path. I speak not as regards us individually, but as a collective body. We are evidently more united for general purposes than we have ever yet been, and have be come more important in the community and in the state. We had hitherto been too disunited—far.too individualised — in our objects and our hopes. We had no real bond of union for mutual advantage. There is no other profession, humanly speaking, more important than our own. There is no other profession which confers so great an extent of gratuitous service. Why, then, should we not be of more importance as a public body ? Why should we not be consulted on all matters regarding the general health and safety of the na tion ? Why should we remain without any recognised repre sentatives, even in the minor subdivisions of public autho rity ? How can a due regard be shown to the real interests of the poor, whilst the salutary influence of our profession is excluded from participation in the regulations which affect them ? In other professions there are situations of compara tive ease, where emoluments are afforded to enable individu als to apply themselves to abstract study, and the science and literature of their profession. Where can we find this en couragement to exertion in our own ? What has the indivi dual to hope for, who, despising the meanness and cajoleries of his art, devotes his energies to its improvement ? Why should there not be offices of a public nature most beneficial in their effects to the community to be occupied by members of our profession? One great advantage, however, has al ready been gained ;—the attention of the country generally is becoming more directed to the causes of disease and the means of prevention and cure. Several other resolutions were then proceeded with, after which the meeting dissolved. VOttry.

' • After dinner several toasts were proposed and responded to, and the meeting separated highly delighted with all the proceedings. HIGH PRICE OF WEST INDIA, PRODUCE TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD SlR,—The pressure of important matter on your notice, which uo reader of your journal could fail to observe, has hitherto prevented my addressing a few remarks to you on a question in which I feel a deep interest. I should have con tinued silent had I not observed that the public attention has been several times within these last few months called to the subject—l' mean the present state of the West Indies, the consequent effect on the prices of colonial produce, and the remedies which may be applied. I am fully aware that, un less I am very brief, I can hold out to myself no hope that you will insert these remarks, and 1 therefore confine myself to a few lines. The almost unprecedented high price of sugar has been the main cause of the public directing their attention to the pre sent state of the West Indies; and when it is considered that the stock of that article stands thus, as compared with last year— Ilhds. B.P. Bags, Mauritius. Bags, East Indies 1839 .... 31,258 133,094 44,130 1840 .... 13,762 32,252 18,459 Deficiency 17,496 100,842 25,671 and the absolute certainty of a continued comparatively small supply, I think you will feel that, if the cry be loud now, it will be much louder in a few months. We have not, at this moment, in this port sufficient sugar to supply more than one month's ordinary consumption, so that, unless an important change Soon takes place, we hall be left almost without sugar produced by free, labour. I am so fully con vinced that the people of this country hold slavery in such detestation, that I am sure the large majority would pay al most any price for sugar rather than encourage that traffic which is causing such daily and hourly misery to so large a number of their fellow-creatures. All that the West Indians ask for is, that the Government would encourage immigra tion to the colonies. After a full consideration of the sub ject, the East Indies appear to me to afford a wide field for the experiment; and, I can conscientiously say, that I be lieve the coolie himself would derive a greater advantage from the change than he who hired him. The chief ob jections to this plan seem to be the idea that, if the coolie were to go to the West Indies, he would be subject to a second slavery—that he would have a difficulty in returning to his native country, and that it would not be fair to the negroes to raise so formidable a rival. To this I should say, that the Government would exercise their minds to little purpose were they unable to form such regulations which, at the same time as they did not amount to a prohibi tion to immigration, still afforded ample protection to the emigrant. The voyage between the East and West Indies is performed in about 100 days (a shorter voyage than from this country to Sydney, New South Wales,) and the West India planter might be compelled to engage to return the coolie after a stated time, should it be his wish to leave the West Indies. The greater the expense of returning the coolie, the more it would be for the interest of the West Indian to con ciliate the labourer, so that he might wish to remain with him. In a late debate on the subject in the House of Commons, a member of the Government quoted from a despatch of the Governor-General of India, in which he said that, in travel ling through the country, he was obliged to turn his head aside to prevent his seeing the people dying in numbers on the road side from mere want. The negro, in the fertile co lonies of British Guiana and Trinidad, may earn enough by two or three days' labour to support himself for a month, so that the coolie, by performing a fair portion of labour, would not only be able to procure for himself and family the com forts, but even the luxuries of life. The wages in the East Indies are but 2d per diem, and the negro in the West may earn a dollar (4s 2d sterling,) or even more. Whilst the coolie remains in his native country he stands,. I fear, no chanc e o f h ear i ng t h e G ospe l preac h e d, or o f even Worship ping any other deity but that of wood or stone ; but, if he were to go to the West Indies, he would mix with those who o e receiving g have daily ev e instruction n t r y o n o i f b Christian g a m m hl e i s m t e b r e s r , a w n e d re h h e of our church. However much the temporal comfort of the coolie may be considered, his eternal interests must ever be considered as of paramount importance. If active employ ment be better than idleness, civilisation than barbarism, re ligion than irreligion, the negro, instead of being prejudiced by the East India labourer being located in the West Indies, will be much benefited. Experience has proved to us that the negro will only work to support his necessities ; but if an industrious class of labourers were to be placed on the plan tations, the negro would see that the planter was not entirely dependent on him, and by observing the comforts which steady labour enabled the new corner to procure for himself and family, he would be stimulated to exertion. Could such be the case the gloom which now hangs over our West India possessions would at once give. place to the bright sunshine of prosperity, and the anti-slavery party might consider their ,philanthropic work accomplished, and baenddietnutrnhuthmebirle servant, London, other quarters.—l am, sir, your London, July 22, 1840.

ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 27TH. We have had rather more doing in the market to-day ; yet the business has been limited, and prices very low. In the wool market there is nothing new to report ; prices are giving way, and manufacturers buy for immediate use only. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 28.—There were more buyers in this market to-day than last week ; but the amount of business done was comparatively trifling-. What may be the effect of fine weather cannot of course be ascertained ; but hopes are entertained that a good harvest will greatly improve the withered state of trade ; and, as all prospect of a foreign demand is at an end for the present,. this seems to be the- only ground of hope. Prices are nominal.—Man cheater Guardian. POLITICAL CHARACTERS (From the Oxford Herald.) Many a time and oft have, the troubles and sorrows of the poor unhappy journalist been detailed ; many a time has he had occasion to complain of his hard, miserable fate, and of the strange people with whom he has necessarily had to deal ; but his miseries are nothing, his torments are trifling, com pared with those of that pitiable wretch who has taken upon himself to give sketches of the " Political Characters" of the day. Good heavens ! how we have been plagued and harrassed since we commenced our task ! Messages and letters without number have been sent to us to ascertain when a sketch of Mr. So-and-so would appear. Invitations to dinners, balls, and routs have literally poured upon us, their senders taking care to intimate that a "favourable notice" would be expected in the Oxford Herald as a return. Truth obliges us to confess that as a dinner at all is a luxury of which we are seldom able to partake, and as a good dinner is a thing which we have not seen for so long a time that we have almost forgotten what it is, it is possile that we should have accepted some of invitations, even on the condition of giving a favourable sketch of our entertainers, but it so happened that about three weeks ago we sent our solitary pair of boots, which were in a vofully dilapidated condition, to be repaired, and although we have made fre quent pressing applications to Mr. Shoelast to restore them, he, like an uncouth barbarian, positively refuses to deliver them to us, or to our agent duly authorised by writing under hand and seal to receive them, without first having paid to Lim in lawful coin of Great Britain and Ireland, the sum of three shillings and sixpence, the amount of the cost of the said repairs. Now, this is a very harsh proceeding, as we had no intention of defrauding Mr. Shoelast of the money due to him for his labour, in prppf of which we offered him our note of hand, promising to pay the amount at six months' date. This note was accepted and indorsed by three of our most intimate friends, but Shoelast refused to accept it, alleging that the security was insufficient. As it is impossi ble we can walk along the streets without shoes, we have to notify to all and every one that it is no use sending us any more invitations, for we cannot accept them. We shall, therefore, preserve our independence and shew that we scorn to be bribed, that we are not to be purchased, but that we intend, without fear or favour to any one, to continue to say what we conscientiously think right of any " political character" whom we shall do the honour to place in our collection. If there be one thing more than another that we detest, it is the conduct of that man who for the sake of his appetite will sell his conscience to any one who will purchase it by a dinner. We abhor such people, and look down upon them from our garret on the fourth floor back, with the most dignified scorn, the most unmitigated contempt. Among those . who have pestered us the most incessantly are several of those worthies who have the honour to be joints in O'Connell's tail. These men are so anxious to see them selves in the columns of that " inthellectual and pathriotic journal the Oxford Herald," as they call it, that they have taken every possible means to attract our attention. Cards have been left, enquiries have beeen made, letters have been written, invitations have been sent, and all for the purpose of obtaining a notice before the end of the session. The fact is, that an article in this journal will give these poor fellows something to talk about when they get back to their native bogs and swamps, and it will make them appear in the eyes of their countrymen persons of no mean consequence. Now as we are anxious to oblige, wherever we possibly can, we have resolved for this week to become " more Irish and less nice," by giving a few brief notices of the Irish members ; but before proceeding with our task, let us detail one or two of the invitations with which we have been favoured. Names, of course, will be held sacred. Well, then, we have to state that one hon. member asked us to what he called a " Fate Jam Peter," which was to take place some where in the neighbourhood of Saffron-hill, and at which " biled beef, potatoes and porter," were to be provided " free of cost." The hon. member went on to say,—" N.B. Plase to send an answer. P.S. If you bring it yerself, plase to ring the attic 'bell." Anothei hon. member asked me to a ball, where, as it was intended to keep the company particularly select, " no lady or gentleman without shoes or stockings could be admitted." This invitation, it is needless to say, after what is stated above, we are obliged to decline. Ano ther representative of the united Avisdom of some place in that "first gem of the ocean and flower of the sea," sent us the following epistle : " Dear Sur,—May it plase your Rivirince,—This comes hopping it may find you well, as it leaves me at present, and thank God for it. Och ! sure me darlint, and i s nt it meself me jewel, that has ofir and ofir said to Dinnis O'Callaghan— that same Dinnis sure is the broth of a boy ; perhaps you know him? he keeps the shop at the corner of Seven-dials, and sells potatoes, and turnips, and carrots, and other liquids, and keeps a donkey and cart and other living specimens of the biped genius; and I says; says I to Dinnis O'Callaghan, Faith, Dinnis, ye blackguard, haven't ye seen the pictur s of busy polithical characthers says I, busy legislators says I, busy lawgivers says I, busy boys says I at the House ov the Parliament, them same, I says, says I that's printhed in that illigant newspaper the Orford Herald says I—eh, Dinnis, ye grate big blackguard, says I?" And Dinnis,at that same did lift up the whites ov the black of his eyes, and he roul'd them and roul'd them about, jest for all the world like a duck in a shower of thunder and lightnin', and he clapped his hand to his forehead, like the Marcus ov Normanby afore he swallows the pisoned dagger in the play, and his eye was all the while a Fouling in a fine frensy, exac'ly as his lord ship's excellency's eye roul'd when he discivered (of course in the play) that his lady-love' had run away and eloped with a tall captain of dragoons, and left him alone and solitary in the company of his own thoughts, and when his honour's lordship goes off to cut his own throat, or to drown hisself, or to hang hisself, or to get his supper,-1 aint sure which. And Dinnis he says, says he, And isn't it meself,' says he, quite offended like, ' and isn't it meself that's a bit of a feelosofer, and have'nt I read the writhings of the grate Lord Normanby—heaven bless his purty face, an' his rosy cheeks, an' his illigant curls ! ' Yes,' says he, ' I've read his lordship's purty books, and faith,' he says, isn't it meself that rades a bit of them every night, for sure it is darlint that my thrunk is lined with, the leaves o' them, an' my bretthe an' cheese is always wrapped up in them, and isn't it meself that has studied the science of zoology and the other heavenly bodies a shinin' and a shinin' in the starry firmamint ; and och ! didn't I lam to play on the Garman flute and the big drum, an' dy'e ask me if I've rade the polithical characthers ?' Faith, says he, quite solemnly, and isn't it reflecting on my laming and my education to put such a ques tion, sure then:an as hasn't read the polithical characthers' is not fit company for us and . other'genteel gintlemen.' And then Dinnis went on to say, said he, Do you sir, get yerself made a polithical characther, and it will make you immortal as long as you live.' And faith, sure that's the thing lam afther wantin' yer honour to do for me. Jest be kind enough to clap me name in the Oxford Herald, and if so be that ye draw it mild,' as we say in good society, and not attack me, as ye did the Hon. Member for Kilkenny, I don't mind stand ing a pot of half-and-half—honour bright. So no more at present. From your humbel Servant To Command, , Mimber of Parliament for - After these pressing solicitations from the Irish Members, it would be uncourteous to refuse to give them a place in, our gallery of Political Characters ; but as it is impossible that we should devote a column, or even•half a column to each, we shall string them together like gardeners string onions, aid from time to time, as may suit our convenience, place a few of them before out readers. N.B. None of the gentlemen whose names appear below have written the letter, or invitations to which we have re- ferred above, " More Irish' and less nice." NO. 14. MR. N. A. vmons. This gentleman is a tolerably respectable " joint of the tail." He is a member of several of the scientific societies in this metropolis. As a political character he is nothing. He never ventures to open his mouth in Parliament, except to say " ay" or " no," at 'the bidding of his master, O'Connell. He has the impudence to profess himself a repealer. NO. -15 MR. DILLON BROWNE Is a pig-headed fellow, without two ideas on any one sub ject. He is evidently a man who likes a good dinner, and one, too, who would partake of it at any person's expense rather than his own. The living at the Reform Club, although " cheap and nasty," seems to agree well with him, for he is getting very fat. He looks like a lazy hound. We have fre quently seen him lounging on the benches in the House of Commons, but us we never had the misfortune to hear him open his mouth, we cau say nothing further of him as a " Po litical Character," than that he is one of the most insignifi cant and most contemptible of the very insignificant and very contemptible squad of Irish O'Ccsimellites. NO. 1-6 SMITH O'BRIEN This gentleman is blessed with no small share of genuine, unadulterated, Irish impudence. 'He is, indeed, a man of brass. Not long since he had the modest assurance to in quire of the Speaker of the House of Commons which of three members was to take precedence, when they all hap pened to be at the table at the same moment to put down their names for notices of motions. O'Brien evidently wanted to have a scuffle for it. lie had .no idea of courtesy, he had no idea of alloWing his superiors' in rank, fortune, or ability, to perform the simple task of writing his name before that of the illustrious O'Brien. Civilized being! Worthy representative of an Irish gentleman ! Three Irish Radical Members at •one time are enough in all conscience. The rest of the gang must remain quiet.for a few weeks. A. T. T. Y. The deliveries of tea last week were again rather larger, being 483,6001 b. The trade is, on the whole, in a steady position. A LANDSCAPE AND KINGFISHERS. — The woods are re suming their green mantle, and ilittle birds chanting their summer songs. From afar comes the murmur of the water fall, swelling and dying away at intervals, as the air becomes still, or the warm breezes sweep along the birchen thickets, and ruffle the bosom of the pebble-paved pool, margined with alders and willows. On the flowery bank of the stream, be side his hole, the water-rat nibbles the tender blades ; and on that round white stone in the rapid is perched the dipper, ever welcome to the sight, with his dusky mantle and snowy breast. Slowly along the pale blue sky sail the white fleecy clouds ; as the lark, springing from the field, flutters in ecstacy over his happy mate crouched upon her eggs under the shade of the long grass, assured that no rambling urchin shall invade her sanctuary. But see , perched upon the stu m p of a decayed willow, jutting out from the bank, stands a king fisher, still and silent, and ever watchful. Let us creep a little nearer, that we may observe him to more advantage. Be cautious, for he is shy, and seeks not the admiration which his beauty naturally excites. There he is, grasping the splint with his tiny red feet, his bright blue back glistening in the sunshine, his ruady breast reflected from the pool beneath. his long dagger-like bill pointed downwards, and his eve in tent on the minnows that swarm among the roots of the old trees that project into the water from the crumbling bank. He stoops, opens his wings a little, shoots downwards, plunges headlong into the water, reappears in a moment, flutters, sweeps off in a curved line, wheels round, and re turns to his post. The minnow in his bill he beats against the decayed stump till it is dead, then, tossing up his head, swallows it, and resumes his ordinary posture, as if nothing had happened. Swarms of insects flutter and gambol around; but he heeds them not. A painted butterfly at length hovers over the hyacinths, unsuspicious of dunger, the kingfisher springs from his perch and pursues him, but without success. There, swift as a barbed arrow, darting straight forward on rapidly-moving pinions, gleams his mate, who alights on a stone far up the stream ; for she has seen us, and is not de sirous of our company. He presently follows ; and our watch being ended, we may saunter awhile along the grassy slopes, inhaling the fragrance of the primrose, and listening to the joyous notes of the blackbird, that from the summit of yon tall tree pours forth his soul in music.—Macgillivray's History of British Birds.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 30 , There has been a fair demand for Cotton to-day, the sales are 4000 bags including 500 for export, and SOO on speculation, the market steady. LIVERPOOL yßovl§lorr MARKET, JULY 30 , Our Butter trade is extremely dull, and to effect sales, a decline of 2s. per cwt. is submitted to. Pickled Butter not being over abundant, supports our late quotations. Bacon is in good de mand, and prices look up. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JULY 28, (From the Circular of News. James Scott and Son.) _ _ Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, have again been very trivial, indeed, they have for some time past been almost exceeded by the exports thither; of Wheat - and Flour, from Foreign ports and from Canada, the arrivals have also been to a very small extent. The weather'. during the past week, has been almost as rainy as in the four preceding ones, and nearly equally deficient of sunshine and summer heat, so that, although favourable for Potatoes, Turnips, the pastures, and second crops of Grass, it must be becom ing injurious to no small portion of the Hay still unsecured, and the crops of Grain are progressing very slowly to proper maturity, but further than protecting the commencement of harvest, no serious injury has recently been done ; and this account is applicable to a great portion of the northern districts of England, and likewise of Scotland and Ireland, but reports are much more favourable of the weather and of the crops in almost all the influential southern districts. . . . . • The demand has been very steady here and in all our surround ing markets of the past week, for every article in the Corn trade, at fully last Tuesday's prices, which, in some instances, for Wheat and Flour, Oats and Meal, have been a little exceeded; and in con sequence of the prospect of a reduction in the duties, Wheat and Flour, in bond, have been objects of active speculation recently, at a small advance; duty having been paid on most of the Oats in bond, their value, bonded or free, has varied very little. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was decreased on Friday last to 16s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to lOs 04d per barrel, as expected, on all other Grain it remains unaltered; it is confidently anticipated that on Friday, the 7th of August, the duty will be further reduced on Wheat to 13s 8d per quarter, and on Flour to Bs 2id per barrel; and on Friday, the 14th of August, that it will be still further reduced to Ins Bd per quarter; and to 6s 5d per barrel. Yesterday the weather was very fine and warm with every ap pearance of being settled, which stagnated sales, and although it is again cloudy and overcast, the languid account from Mark Lane market, of yesterday, caused a very slack demand here at this day's market fcir every article in the Corn trade, at about the prices of this day week.

Of sheep and lambs the supply was scarcely so, but still more than equal to the demand. All kinds of meat were again lower, and a fair number of each left unsold. Beef, 34 to 6fd. ; mutton,. 53d. to 6fd., and lamb zfd. to did. per lb. sinking the offal. P.S. The lessees of the market, and who are also considerable dealers, for reasons which the public, and especially the graziers, will feel no difficulty in ascertaining, have this week ordered the market-looker not to furnish in the usual way the exact numbers of the cattle, sheep, and lambs, at market. Measures, however, are in progress to obviate this difficulty, should the market-looker again refuse.
