Otuptital Variftinittits HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. Masses of petitions were presented against any alteration of the corn laws : for instance, 120 by the Duke of BUCK INGHAM, and 140 by the Duke of RICHMOND. The Earl of CLARENDON presented one from Liverpool, in favour of a revision of the corn laws, signed by persons of all parties, and representing capital to the amount of £30,000,000. It gave rise to a short bat interesting conversation, in which the Duke of RICHMOND and Lord ASHBURTON took part. Lord MELBOURNE, in answer to a question by Lord ABER DEEN, as to the course to be pursued by governaneut regard. ing the intrusion question, returned an answer similar to that which had been previously given in the Commons by Lord J. Russell, namely, that the government is not prepared to come to any decision as to what steps it may be advisable to adopt. The Bishop of EXETER deferred, till Tuesday, his motion regarding an address to her Majesty, not to give the royal assent to the Canada clergy reserves bill. Their lordships afterwards adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—MoNna.Y. Mr. Blissett took the oaths and his seat for Helstone. Immense numbers of petitions against and for the altera tion of the corn laws were presented. Mr. HEATHCOTE gave notice, that on the motion of Mr. Villiers, and Mr. Pryme's amendment thereupon (regarding the corn laws), being put, he should move that both be re jected. Mr. Hurea asked the hon. member for Pembroke whether he was prepared to state the words p f his motion, of which he had given notice with respect to China? Sir J. GRAHAM observed that he had only received the papers that morning, and he understood that it was the in tention of the noble lord to submit some further papers; therefore it would be impossible for him to state precisely what the terms of his motion would be, until he knew the whole case that was to he made by the government ; and, in answer to further inquiry, he added that it was impossible he could state the substance of his motion until he had made up his mind upon the whole case produced-by the govern ment. Lord J. RUSSELL gave notice, that on Thursday se'nnight he would move for leave to bring in two bills for continuing and amending the laws relating to the poor. His lordship added, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. Miles, whether there would be any remedies for cases of seduction and breaches of promises to marry, that the remedial measures would be limited to the objects he had described. Mr. MILES gave notice that he would introduce a bill on the subject. Sir R. PEEL observe,: that it was stated on a former occa sion, that about the middle of this month the Government would be prepared to notify what course it would adopt to wards the settlement of the existing differences between the church of Scotland and the courts of law in that country. He trusted the noble lord was now prepared to state whether the mind of the Government had yet been made up upon the matter, and whether any measure upon the subject would be proposed. Lord J. RUSSELL answered, that, anxious as the Govern ment had been to bring forward a measure that would tend to allay the existing disputes between the church and the courts of law, it was not their intention to propose any measure be fore the meeting of the General Assembly of Scotland. The Government was inclined to the opinion that some legislation would be requisite, but until after the meeting of the Gene ral Assembly there would be no decision in the matter on the part of the Government. Mr. GOULBURN asked whether it was intended to bring in any measure for continuing the composition of the assessed taxes. _ . The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered that it was intended to bring in a bill to continue the assessed taxes composition for another year. Lord J. RUSSELL (in answer to inquiry) said that he in tended to move that the time for the attendance of Mr. Sheriff Evans be enlarged till after Easter. Mr. PAXINGTON asked what was the opinion of the Mi nistry upon the advice of the crown lawyers as to the power of the Legislature of Upper Canada to pass the Clergy Re serves Bill—could they, under the Canadian Constitution Act, alter the appropriation of those reserves, and apply them to other than Protestant purposes ? Lord J. RUSSELL ans*ered, that no doubt had ever been entertained by former Colonial Secretaries that such a mea sure could be adopted. In arranging the business for the evening, Lord J. RUSSELL deferred till Tuesday the further consi deration of the sergeant-at-arms' evidence, regarding actions commenced against officers of the house by Mr. Howard (Stockdale attorney), and intimated that he should move it before anything else. Several of the orders of the day, the committee on the Colonial passengers bill, on the judges and officers (Admi ralty) salaries, &c., were then gone through, and reports or dered to be received on Tuesday. Lord J. RUSSELL moved an address (similar to that which was adopted in the House of Lords) on her Majesty's regard ing Lord Seaton. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (in committee on the public works, Ireland, acts) moved a grant of £1,200,000. in exchequer bills,. to be advanced, on the usual securities, for the buildin , - , of workhouses, and for the encouragement of fisheries, and of industry generally, in Ireland. The resolution, after much desultory conversation, was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (in committee on the excise acts) moved a resolution respecting the regulations of the glass and tobacco duties. The county constabulary bill, after extended discussion, and much opposition, was read the second time. Other orders of the day were forwarded a stage ; (the se cond reading of the sale of beer bill, however, was again de ferred). The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TVESDAY. There were again many petitions presented on the subject of the corn-laws, and which gave rise to much interesting conversation. Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from the General Assembly, Scotland, -representing the state of the church iu that country, in consequence of recent legal decisions, and urging the necessity of legislation on the subject, in order to secure the interests of that church. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that legislation was so impera tively required, in order to restore peace to the church of Scotland, that if the Government did not, he would, after Easter, bring forward sonic measure with the view of effect ing such object. Lord DUNCANNOY moved for papers illustrative of the state of the " Clergy Reserves," Canada, from 1819 to 1829, &c. The Bishop of EXETER said he was rejoiced that the government at last appeared to be alive to the importance of this subject ; and he was only astonished that information had not before been called for, especially after the despatch from Mr. P. Thomson, recently presented to parliament, accompanying the Clergy Reserves Bill. That gentleman in his despatch, and after having fixed himself in Upper Ca nada for about a month only, declared that no one who had not been upon the spot, and witnessed the working of the question, could form an opinion; and yet that said Mr. P. Thomson had ventured to pronounce most decidedly upon the whole question ! His lordship declared that he was at a loss to know by what means he could have arrived at his conclusion, and how he could have felt at liberty to spe:ik so positively. The Bishop of Exeter afterwards moved for such part of a despatch from Sir Peregrine Maitland to Mr. Huskisson, of the 13th of December, 1827, as relates to the clergy reserves in Canada; and also, copy of a despatch to Lord Bathurst, referred to in the above-mentioned despatch, containing the opinions of the legal advisers of the crown in Canada on the right of the clergy of the Church of England in that province to the said reserves. Agreed to, with the exception of the opinions of the law officers.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-TUESDAY. The order for the call of the house, it was understood, was discharged. Many corn law and other petitions were presented, one of which prayed " for the repeal of the corn laws and all other taxes." Mr. GOULBURN stated, that on the 9th April he would move for copies of any communications that may have taken place between the government and the East India Company. as to the arrangements for paying the army in India. Mr. HAWES asked whether the negociation with Naples, relating to the trade in sulphur, had been broken off unex pectedly, and without the chance of a favourable result. Mr. LABOUCHERE answered that despatches had recently been received by the Secretary of State for the Foreign De partment, and that it was not true that that negociation had been broken off. _ - Mr. HUME asked when the returns respecting the corn rnereial treaty with Austria might be expected, as they had been moved for and ordered some time ago? Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he was not able to answer the question without first consulting the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. MIME gave notice that he should on Wednesday make a motion on this subject, as the course now adopted was re ally frightful. Sir E. KNATCHBITLL asked the hon. member for Brid port, if he could inform the house whether it was the inten tion of the hon. member for Wolverhampton (Mr. Villiers) to bring forward his motion on the subject of the corn laws, or not Mr. WAitntrwroN answered that the. hon. member for Wolverhampton regretted exceedingly that, owing to indis position, he had oeen prevented from bringing forward the motion that night, but it was his intention certainly to bring it forward on Wednesday night. Lord SANDON withdrew a notice of motion with respect to China, upon the assurance of her Majesty's ministers that a committee should he appointed on the subject. A notice for the nomination of a committee had been standing on the paper from day to day for some time, and yet the committee was not named. lie wished, therefore, to know when the government intended to name that committee ? Sir J. HOBROUSE said he understood that the committee was to be appointed this day ; but he begged to remind the noble lord that the proposition did not originate with the government, but with the hon. member for London (Mr. Crawford). COL PERCEVAL entered into some explanations as to ap plications to the King of Hanover for the apartments held by his Majesty in St. James's Palace. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the resumption of the question of " privilege," arising out of what the sergeant-at arms stated at the bar, that his assistant and four messengers had been served with fu rther proceedin gs i n th e act i on com menced by Mr. Howard (Stockdale's attorney) for " tres pass," in having entered the said Howard's house, and crea ting a disturbance therein, the damages being laid at £l,OOO. He moved that the parties " p lead" to suc h proceedings.— Motion eventually adopted. Mr. PARINGTON moved the second reading of the Sale of Beer Bill, which led to extended discussion, it having been moved that it be read the second time this day six months. The result of the division thereon was—For the second read ing 110, against it 30—majority SO for the second reading.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY. The House of Lords did not meet to-day. HOUSE OP COMMONS.—WEDNESDA Y ' Lord ELIOT presented the report of the Ipswich Election Committee, declaring that Sir T. Cochrane had been duly elected and returned, and that Mr. T. Gibson had not been duly elected. Masses of petitions were again presented' for and against the corn laws. Captain A'CounT inquired whether despatches had yet been received relative to th e attac k on t h e V o l age , & c ., in China ; andif so, whether there would be any objection to produce them? Admiral ADAM answered that they had been received, and that there would be no objection t o present them. The second reading of the Vaccination Bill was deferred till Thursday, .several members expressing their determina tion to oppose it, on the ground of its containing objection able provisions. Sir. J. GKAaaAM , . in a nswer to Mr. Hume' s i nqu i ry , sa id that the terms of his motion regarding . Chi na wou ld b e to the effect, " That, upon considering the papers relating to the affairs of China, presented to the house, it app ears t h at the interruption in our commercial and friendly intercou rse with that country, and the hostilities that have since taken place, are mainly to be attributed to the want of foresight and precaution on the part of her Majesty's present advisers, in respect to our relations with China, and especially to their neglect in not furnishing the superintendent at Canton with proper instructions as to the contraband traffic in opium, and liaptod to the 4it)vot and dint 4itmtion in which ite o u pariuternient was placed," Mr. VILLIERS (after apologising for the delay that his in disposition had caused) brought forward his motion on the subject of the corn laws, and , after a long spefch , m oved, " That the house resolve itself into a committee of the whole house, to take into consideration the act of 9 George IV., regulating the importation of foreign grain." Sir G. STRICKLAND seconded the motion, submitting that it was most desirable that there should be an end to agitation on this subject. Mr. GROTE, Mr. D'ISRAELI, and Mr. LABOUCHERE took part in the debate, after whom the debate was adjourned un til Thursday. ADDRESS OF THE CONSERVATIVES OF WAR RINGTON TO THE KING OF PRUSSIA. We have much pleasure in inserting a copy of this docu ment, with his Majesty's reply, which will be read with in terest. " TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA. " May it please your Majesty, " We, the undersigned, being subjects of her Maj es ty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood of Warrington, in the county of Lan caster, and members of the Protestant Association of that place, beg most respectfully to approach your Majesty with feelings of sincere and heartfelt gratitude for the firm and Christian part which your Majesty has lately taken in up holding, within your Majesty's dominions, the sacred cause of Protestantism. " It is delightful to us, in common with all lovers of truth, to see those, who, with your Majesty, have been called by Almighty God to be the rulers of nations. exercising the power so entrusted to them in the cause of the Lord, in up holding his blessed word, and in opposing the machinations of an apostate church, which is again putting forth all her strength to subject Christendom once more to her temporal and spiritual bondage. " The Christian solicitude evinced by your Majesty to succour the persecuted inhabitants of the 'tiller Valleys, the promptitude with which your majesty acted in their behalf, when the cry of oppression and distress entered your ma jesty's royal ear, and the happy homes provided for those who were rendered outcasts and destitute for their attach ment to God's word, demanded from us expressions of un measured praise and thankfulness. " Experiencing, as we now do, even in this protestant country, the pressure of the fearful power of Rome, we are the more sensible of the difficulties with which your majesty is surrounded, and can the more fully appreciate the heroic and Christian firmness with which your majesty has opposed her encroachments. _ _ _ " Having observed, with intense interest, the noble stand which your majesty has made in resisting the usurpations of the papal see, and believing that the strength, with which such a formidable power can be effectually resisted, must come from above, we beg leave, most respectfully, to assure your majesty that our prayers shall be offered up to God, that your majesty may long be spared to throw the shield of your majesty's protect►on around his truth and his people; and that your majesty may not only be a father to your ma jesty's faithful subjects, but a father in Israel among those who honour and adore that name at which every name shall bow." • THE XING OF PRUSSIA'S ANSWER. " I have received, through my Minister for Foreign Af fairs, the address forwarded to me by the Protestant Associa tion of Warrington, expressing their thanks for my protection of the evangelical faith against the arrogance of those who, disregarding the laws and constitution, endeavour to disturb established peace and Christian unity. "The praiseworthy sentiments and wishes expressed in that address cannot but be in the highest degree acceptable to me, as they can be suggested only by a sense of justice, and have their origin in genuine Christian feeling. "To the Protestant Association I hereby present my thanks and best wishes. It is to he hoped that the minds of all will soon be restored to that peaceful state, which, not withstanding a difference of opinion on certain subjects, amongst the professors of different modes of faith, may be looked for in all those who follow the precepts of the gospel as the fruit of Christian love. (Signed) " FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Berlin, March 12, 1840. " To the Protestant .. Association of Warrington, in the county of Lancaster, England." FASHIONS FOR APRIL. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) The materials fordress, at this fashionable moment, are glacees silks in shots, pearl-gray satins relieved by embroidery of green, red, or paille silk, reps, foulards, poult de soie, gros d'Afrique watered, plain and broches satins and crepes mous selines ; gold and silver are much introduced in every article of dress; silks are brochees with them, whilst coiffures, pseuds of ribbon or velvet, fringes, feuiilages, and fruits, are enriched either with gold or silver, and turbans are formed of denteile d'argent or d'or. Many organdy dresSes have appeared at the Parisian balls, embroidered in laine cachmere and gold ; the tunic dresses havine , the corners rounded continue in favour ; the double tulle dresses are also worn; and the same style of trimming being repeated on each, has the effect of a double trimming, and the weight is relieved by being separate. Black continues fashionable ; and besides velvet and satin, black lace dresses are worn over coloured satins. . Several redingotes of drap cachmere have recently been made in Paris ; the bodies and sleeves quite tight, and orna mented with Bradenburghs ; they form pretty promenade toilettes. Trimmings of biais are much worn on dresses ; they sometimes give them the effect of a redingote ; and after going round the bottom, rise up the side to the ceinture ; at other times they form five or seven waves round the bottom of the skirt. Gloves are still worn much ornamented at the top with lace flowers, ruches-marabouts ; some are made to lace on the arm, whilst others are so short as scarcely to cover the wrist, show ing the bracelet of thick gold chain. Bracelets are very fashionable at this moment, and are worn in every style of toilette ; they are made in great variety, cameos, pearls, coral ; attaches or ornaments of the brooch kind are much used to ornament ball dresses, and confine the draperies en tablier, sleeves and body. Coral cameos are very pretty for this purpose. The-hair is worn very low iu a thou supported by a comb, in the centre of which the toques are arranged, the front hair in bandeaux, platted at the ends, and neatly raised at the side ; ringlets are also worn ; epingles Tyroli ennes crossing the back hair. Turbans are much in favour. Turkish; Grecian, Arabian, Persian, or Israelite—the Anda lusian and Mexican coiffures have also their admirers, and the turban of white lace, ornamented with carnations in velvet, or bunches of double lillies of the valley. Caps are worn with narrow head pieces, and very low. Some very pretty dress bonnets have been made of gauze bouillonnee, and ornamented with marabouts ; they continue to be made small. • SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Three o'clock. We have been favoured with copies of the St. John's (N. B.) Herald and Weekly Observer, to the 20th of February. They state that all sorts of rumours pre vailed respecting the protracted boundary dispute. The Maine papers state positively, on the authority of a General Vernum, and other persons who had recently arrived from the disputed territory, that the British had at the head of the lake a force Of about 200 men, when there was formerly but one company, and that there had been erected for their accommodation two large blockhouses, capable of containing from 400 to 600 men, and six or seven small blockhouses; and that a stockade had been erected around these build ings. The legislature of Maine had deputed two per sons to proceed to the point in question, to examine and report upon these preparations. It is evident that great exertions are being made by the Americans to get up another excitement on the boundary question. Accounts have reached London from New York, to the 3d ult. Thare is, however, no news of importance. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY. Within the last three days the arrivals into this port, coastwise, from Ireland, and abroad inclusive, embrace a good supply of Wheat, Barley and Oats, with a fair quantity of Malt roundland, but of other articles we have little fresh in to notice. During the same period the trade altogether has been dull and very uninteresting, indicating generally a tendency in prices rather to decline than to improve. The only duty on foreign Grain this week, is a reduction in that of Barley to 3s. 4d. per qr. The millers and dealers, still anticipating lower duties on Wheat, have been extremely inactive to-day, and having very few country buyers in attendance, all descriptions of this Grain continued to meet an exceedingly limited demand, at a decline of 2d. per 701bs. from the current rates of Tues day last ; and had sales been practicable beyond a merely retail amount, a further abatement must have been con ceded. In English and Irish Flour little or no business was per ceptible, and foreign, duty-paid, moved off sparingly at a reduction of 6d. per barrel. Bonded States Flour was mostly held at 295. 6d. ; for two or three parcels, however, 295. per barrel was accepted, comprising the only transactions in this description since Tuesday. Fine Malting Barley, upon a short supply, fully supported late prices ; but grinding samples, being more plentiful, was in slow request, and the turn cheaper. In Malt and Peas we have no change to note. Beans, on the contrary, sold rather freely, at a slight amendment in value. Oats and Oatmeal, being nearly without inquiry, must be considered rather lower. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 31st March to the 2nd Aprg, 1940, inclusioe EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF THE BRIG MARTHA HARRISON. The brig Martha Harrison. Captain John Green, bound from Newfoundland to Liverpool, with a cargo of oils, bales, &c., atter encountering the storms of the sth and 6th of February, was on the 7th ult. driven amongst the shoals and breakers to the east of Bunowen Bay, and within a mile of the rocks on which the schooner Orion, from the same country, and same description of cargo, had had gone to pieces a few days before—crew and cargo lost. During the night the brig Harrison passed a large barque in distress; intel ligence of the total loss of which (crew included) has since been received. At about 4a. m., after doing all that seamen's skill and courage could effect in the midst of darkness and tempest, the ves sel having struck several times, and the sea breaking constantly over them, the crew determined to abandon her, and trust to the boat, and the captain, feeling that all hope was over, at last con sented. By manifest Divine interposition they were, at about seven a. in., driven on shore (on a part of the estate of J. A. O'Neill, Esq. J. P., of Bunowen Castle) atter having rowed and scudded among the reakers, where no boat had ever before been seen in stormy weather; though the boatmen of Bunowen coast are notoriously overbold. The vessel also drifted before the wind still farther amongst the rocks and shoals, where it was never imagined that a vessel of her tonnage could have gone in the mildest weather. Her course can be traced at low water some hundred -yards. In one place she broke a large projecting piece from an immense rock, leaving apart of her keel in a clift ; this threw her rather on her side, and in this position a heavy roll of the sea must have carried her over a rock 46 feet long, not much below the level of high water mark ; the pitch off her hull is to be seen on the top of this rock. Again she was surrounded by rocks, several of which she broke large pieces off, and wherever her keel furrowed the bottom she broke single stones as if they had been prepared for putting on a road. The tremendous roll of the Atlantic in its fury now lifted and carried her from that shoal towards a short deep channel, not twice her own breadth, and having at the distance of abpfit fifty yards from the entrance, a large and high ledge of rockstight aerdsa, but leaving a passage by turning at almost a right angle. At that very mo ment, just when the gallant brig must Have been shattered to atoms ag iust the high ledge above described, her only remaining anchor, which she was dragging aft, caught in a rock, and though it broke off at the flue, which was found there, yet it so checked the head long career of the vessel, as to make her actually turn the angle, and being then thrown probably on her side, she was by the next conflicting rush of wave and tide in the Sound lifted over a low part of the rocky ledge and settled down on the remains of her keel on a sandbank, the sea breaking against her. In this position she was at daylight seen by Mr. O'Neill, who proceeded to the shore, and swore in 0 or 40 of his tenantry to protect at the risk of their lives the vessel and property. It was not impossible, though un likely, that the vessel contained some living persons. Mr. O'Neill called out eight brave fellows, two for each oar, to accompany him, and in the midst of rocks and breakers, during one of the most ter rific hail-storms known since the great storm in January, 183 g—the sea rolling in furiously, and the wind right, ahead—these gallant men, encouraged by their landlord's presence, tried to reach the vessel; but after having been driven about at the will of the storm, and the waves repeatedly breaking quite over the boat, they were compelled to give in, though Mr. O'Neill several times said, " Five pounds a man, if you reach the brig." The exhausted party at last reached some rocks whence they were enabled to wade on shore. — fly this time the tide had fallen, and by passing over a chain of rocks and swimming some sounds, it becaihe possible to reach the brig by another way. Of this Mr. O'Neill took advantage, and col lectingla rocks,il e l d tl e t party vsahyo eh:r:enaaciciacdp current,tl o h s e t. b r i but,Ag several horses, he mcunted his men two on each horse, and . hsetir O jo, n gn e ga m pa a gr t ot i yo w do a f s s washed off and car_ left by y ap A p l Mr. O'Neill Whenehar t g li e e o t f id t e h f e e a l ie t s h s e el v — e r ss e swornwlilemwfpa was aaernsrtiieectsug andwei nderetedootyhttehehriee! rocks by winding chains round them, and was watched day and t n h i eg brought hmt, more and et d ov the alaua c bd a l. ireagcoenportiont islanddischarged i,roNuv ts riggings, a t c h r e os weathers Bruosv p . cenrßi sails,tat ed.

The rowers strained every nerve, yet several times the brig luffed up in the wind, and spinning her pigmy conductors round, seemed determined again to cope with the breakers which surround ed her on every side, and to draw into ruin her friendly allies. At length, through the mercy of Providence, the last rock was passed and the bow of the vessel pointed right for Bunowen Harbour. A shout then rose from brig and boats which echoed amongst the neighbouring hills, and was answered from the shore by hundreds of all ages and sexes, and at the same moment the harbour blazed with tar-barrel fires, prepared in case of seceess. The now pale moonlight, the streak of morning, s e a w nd fo t u h n e di lu a ri n dg r l s ea a m nd s o c f o t n h n e e shote fires, produced a strange ef fect.

MANCHESTER.—There continues to he a very fair demand for yarn, and a considerable amount of business was done yesterday, but without any advance of prices. For goods the demand was not quite so good, and, with the exception of shirtings suitable for the India markets, in which there is still a fair business doing, the market did not exhibit much animation. Still there is a more cheerful feeling in the market than existed a few weeks ago, and a pretty eneral impression that both goods and yarn have seen their lowest point. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MARCH 30. The flannel trade still remains in a languid state; and the demand for goods, as usual, has been very limited. Prices are so low as to yield a very poor remuneration to the manu facturer. Work is scarce, and empty cottages are on the increase. The wool market continues dull, with prices stationary. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, MARCH 31.—We have no change to notice in the state of this market. It was in the same dull, listless, indefinite position as for many months past. All classes look forward with fear lest the legislature should blast the only chance of relief in opposing a repeal or a great modification of the corn laws. Prices are nearly nominal.—Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN.—The improved feeling which was percepti ble in our trade last week, has also continued through the week just ended ; and though no actual improvement in prices may have taken place, a greater amount of business has been transacted, both in yarns and cloth, with a dispo sition to operate still more largely.—Blackburn Standard. SHEFFIELD.—We are sorry to state that the condition of the working classes still continues to be very bad, and that the prospect is as gloomy as it was twelve months ago. Many of the large houses have been for some time past re stricting their men to half time, and lately they have been obliged to curtail even that. Several establishments would be shut up entirely, but for the injury the machinery would sustain by standing still.—Shegield Iris. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER,-TUESDAY EVENING. THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.—This import ant race was only destined for a very slight notice at the usual hour of meeting this morning. No party came forward in support of LOrd Orford's colt ; he was consequently offered against at sto 2. The odds of 16 to 3 were, on two or three occasions, pencilled down against Wardan ; 12 to 8 was the price accepted last night between Wardan and Ottoman ; 10 to 1 was in vain asked about Crucifix ; 8 to 1 appeared the extreme proposal. THE CHESTED, Cur.-7:1- to 1 was offered in one quarter against Cowboy (8 to 1 was accepted last night); 9 to 1 would have been taken in a good quarter on Lanercost, however, a point less was the extreme offer ; 10 to 1 was given out to a score, against any horse, "bar two;" 50 to 40 would have been laid between Gilbert Gurney and the feather weight. The closing prices appeared to be 10 to 1 against Gurney, and 100 to 8 against the feather, in one instance rather repeatedly given; 13 to 1 was offered versus the mare; King Cole was not named so as to enable us to give his real price, we imagine 17 to 1 wou ld b e w illi ng ly l a id ; M e lb ourne has been rather largely backed at 20 to 1, and Wirrestrew at 100 to 3, as often as parties would come out ; Tubalcain does not lack friends at 30 to 1, however 200 to 8 was] repeatedly offered at noon ; Aimwell was backed at 100 to 3 ; George was not named, although backed, since Friday, at 200 to 7 ; Percy was in no request, but his previoui estimate of 25 to 1 will be close upon his present position. THE DERBY.-12 to 1 was in vain offered on the field ; 14 to 1 against Confederate ; 25 to 1 was taken on Ottoman ; and 1000 to 20, and other sums, on Prince Albert, and 100 to 3 was afterwards offered freely ; 25 to 1 was offered against Bokhara ; Black Bess was backed at 500 to 15, and good parties would have " gone on ;" 400 to 10 offered v. Assas sin (take 500 to 10); 400 to 10 against Amurath (offered.) MISCELLANEOUS. A marriage is on the tapir, between Mr. Grey, and d nn s e i c s t t e e d r with the family of the Earl Grey, and Lady Eli za H oward, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Carlisle, of the Duchess of Sutherland and Lord Morpetli. "t fn o sh tl i i ° er flube l The German Opera is likely to be the II: entertainment of the seas on ; and, in ad dition to dis tinguished patrons , h er Ma j est y the Queen D owager has ordered a private box to be prepared for her reception. ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH. —Carpenters are busily engaged in erecting wood-work to represent the side of a ship, and containing five port-holes, for the purpose of en abling sailors to practice firing at a target on a new princi ple ; it has the motion of a ship at sea. During the last week, the price of tea, which had risen with extraordinary rapidity on the announcement of hostilities with China, has fallen with equal rapidity. Some qualities have declined from thirty to thirty-five per cent. A matrimonial alliance is said to be on the tapis between Mr. Fulke Greville, late of the First Life Guards , and Lad y Rosa 'Nugent, only 'daughter of the Marquis of Westmeath, and neice to the Marquis of Salisbury. The bridegroom elect is cousin to the Earl of Warwick, and inherits the bulk of the large fortune of the late Colonel Greville. Earl Fipenoet Oates that Macs lid WI, played Imps of rook Olt iri tho paoture 'lands, he has not had an inotanoo o pre• mature calving amongst his cows. Mr. Kempster, jun., of South Weald, E'sscx, for a wager, recently shot eighteen farthings at twenty penny-pieces, one of which only he missed ; and, on repeating the task, com pleted it without once missing the coin. In one of the shots he tired the farthing through the penny-piece. The Emperor of Russia has ordered a new steamer to be built at the city of Jersey. of the same dimensions as the Great Western ; and when completed, the keel of another steamer is to be laid for the service of the Russian govern ment. We understand it is the intention of the devisees in trust under the will of the Rev. Charles Simeon, and who are patrons of the rectory of Bath, acting with the consent of the present incumbent, to divide the present lucrative rec tory of Bath into live distinct parishes.—Bristol Journal. Twenty-two horses, many of them the most celebrated steeplechasers, are entered for the Cheltenham Steeple- Chase, which is to come off on Friday (this day). The stakes are 25 sovs. each competitor, with 100 sovs. - added by the town, and a cup value 100 sovs. given by Lord Segrave. POST CON vErANcE.—A clergyman resident in Bath had lately sent to him, through the medium of the Post-office, a flannel waistcoat from Ireland ; the cost was ls. 10d. In stances such as this, of which there are no doubt many, must prove a serious injury to the coach-proprietors, and vindicate their claim to the consideration of government.— Devizes Gazette. SAFETY VALVES.—M. Sorel has announced to the Aca demy of Sciences the invention of a safety valve, which, at the moment the pressure has passed a certain limit, an nounces the fact by a whistle, and stops the combustion of the fire by shutting a register or damper. A second but dif ferent sound tells when the boiler is growing short of water. MORALITY OF VIENNA. — The total population of Vienna is estimated at 300,000. The following statement includes in it those children born in the Foundling-house :7_ Born during 1839. Boys. Girls. Legitimate Illegitimate 8361 8102 MILITARY INQUIRY.—An inquiry, by order of Lord Hill, is going on at Wigan, Lancashire, into the conduct of the Hon. Mr. Plunket, the Hon. Mr. Fraser, and several other officers of the regiment stationed in that town, relating to certain outrages alleged to have been committed by them in resisting the execution of a civil process for the arrest of Mr. Frazer for debt. The inquiry is strictly private. LONGEVITY.—Died on the morning of the 11th inst., at Tarnbrook, in Over Wyersdale, Mr. William Hodgson, aged 97 years; and in the evening of the same day, Mr. William Simpson, of Quernmore, aged 95 years ; and on Wednesday last, Mr. William Gifford, of Lodge, in Quern more, aged 87 years. All were near neighbours, and their united ages amount to 279 years.—Lancaster Gazette. On Wednesday last, some malicious person or persons set fire to the plantations of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, situate near the New Mills, in the parish of Trellick, in this county ; the fire was discovered about ten o'clock in the morning, and continued burning till three in the afternoon, consuming near 200 acres of wood plantation, the value of which is estimated at £l,6oo.—Hereford Times. THE SEASON.—The continued dryness of the season is particularly favourable to the agriculturist. The crops will this spring be got in in better condition, and larger quanti ties than they have been fur several years past. Doubtless the clouds of March dust, which we see on all sides, will fetch its usual price of a guinea per peck in the increased quantity and quality of the crops. The orchards in this part bear promise for abundant crops, the blossom buds being nu merous and healthy, while the late keen air has had the best effect in checking the too early opening of the buds.—Lan caster Gazette. PRUSSIAN EMIGRANTS.—Last year many Prussian emi grants proceeded to America by way of Newcastle and Hull; more are expected this year. Those who landed at Hull crossed the country to Liverpool by the canals which seve rally run through the vallies of the Aire and Calder. They are Lutherans, and are unwilling to conform to the national church. They are very poor, and seldom have more than passage money and provisions to voyage with. Some come from Saxony, some from Pomerania, and their first destina tion is New York. Baron von Rohl went before them to make contracts in land. They are well supplied with Bibles, and the old men strongly resemble the pilgrim fathers. CORNISH LITERATURE.—The Rev. Robert Williams, of Llangadwalladr, Denbighshire, has been for some years en gaged in compiling a Dictionary of the Cornish Dialect of the Cymraeg, or Ancient British Language, in which words are elucidated by numerous examples from the Cornish works now remaining, with translations in English ; the Syn onyms will also be given in the Dialects of the Welsh, Armoric, Irish, Gaelic, and Manx. A copious comparative Grammar will be prefixed, and a Dissertation on the con nection of the Celtic with the other languages of Europe. The Cornish name of the work is Geirlyfr Cernewac, it is ready for the press, and is intended to be published in three parts, by subscription. Several very respectable persons, eminent for their researches in Celtic literature have sent their names to the author, as patrons of the work ; and it is hoped that he will receive a sufficient number to induce him to proceed, and complete his undertaking.—Chester Courant. LEAP EXTRAORDINARY.—On Wednesday, Col. Thessier was riding a high-spirited horse along the carriage -drive on the south side of Hyde-park, when near the bridge, by the ale brewery, the horse became suddenly restive ; Colonel Thessier applied his spurs. when the horse sprang forward furiously, and on the bridge plunged violently, endeavouring to throw his rider, but without effect. At length the animal made a sudden spring, and actually leaped over the parapet of the bridge on to the greensward beneath, a height of 20 feet. The gallant colonel, however, retained his seat, and the horse alighted on his feet, neither the colonel nor his horse receiving the slightest injury. A similar circumstance occurred to a private of the Life Guards, a few months since, proceedin g from the Knightsbridge barracks to the Horse Guards, but he also escaped in a similar manner.—Morning Herald. CUSTOM HOUSE REGISTRY. — The shipowners and others interested in the registry of vessels from the ports of Car" narvon, Pwllheli, and Barmouth, will learn with pleasure tha the Board of Customs have granted the privilege of register ing vessels to the ports of Carnarvon and and that the shipowners of Barmouth will in future register their ves sels in Carnarvon, instead of, as heretofore, being obliged to go for that purpose to Beaumaris. This boon, we learn, has been granted on the application of the shipowners of Pwllheli. How long it would have been withheld, had it been left to the parties interested in Carnarvon, it is impossible to say ; one thing, however, is certain, the good people of the port are never in a very great hurry, either to procure the removal of known abuses, or to obtain those improvements which they admit to be imperatively called for.—Chester Courant, DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATIONS AT FORDINGTON.— FIFTY-FOUR HOUSES BURNT. — On Monday and Tuesday week, the village of Fordington, adjoining Dorchester, was the scene of two devastating tires, which raged with astonish ing rapidity, 4nd were attended with very great destruction of property, particularly amongst the poor. These occur rences fortunately took place in the day time. That •on Monday broke out in the chimney of the brewhouse, attached to the residence of Mr. Elliot, which soon extended to six other houses, covered with thatch; all of which were speedily consumed. That on Tuesday broke out in the chimney of a house occupied by Mr. Short, a carpenter ; before the flames could be subdued, 46 thatched houses caught fire ; all of which were destroyed. These calamities have rendered about 100 families, comprising more than 250 individuals entirely homeless. A subscription has been opened for the suflerers.—Abridged from the Dorset Chronicle. PRIVILEGE versus LAW.—As we anticipated at the outset of the quarrel between the Commons and the Queen's Bench, the former have been forced to yield. A little more histori cal reading might have saved Lord John Russell the humility of his. defeat ; fcr he would have found that, in all previous quarrels, the courts of law came off victorious. Whether the attempt to legislate will succeed any better than the attempt to brow-beat, is exceedingly doubtful. It is not likely that the House of Lords will be inclined to give any aid to the Commons in extricating themselves from the false position in which they stand. At all events, the predicament in which the whigs have placed themselves is miserable. They are forced to appeal to that Louse which, only a few years ago, they declared a nuisance, by every organ they possessed; for protection against Stockdale; in the perfect knowledge that Stockdale is stimulated and aided in his pro ceedings by many eminent members of that body to whose shield they appeal for protection against the common law.— Tait' s Magazine for April. LOCAL DEPRA.VITY.—In Middleton and the vicinity there is stated to be upwards of 150 hash shops, or houses where ale and spirits are sold without license. The keepers and frequenters of many of these places have lately instituted as sociations, under the name of gully clubs, for encouraging disorderly and immoral sports. The members meet on Sun day mornings, and contribute small sums, such as 3d. or 6d. weekly, which arc allowed to accumulate till the arrival of some holyday, when the money is expended upon such bru talising sports as they may determine upon. The members, however, are often deluded, and perhaps deservedly so, by the parties employed as treasurer. Last week the members of one club were swindled to the tune of £B, and, at no dis tant period, another body was defrauded of upwards of £2O, by the mistress of an unlicensed beer-shop. The local con stables, who ought to interfere to check these irregularities (but who are mostly chartists), not only manifest a total in difference to the evil, but, in many instances, actually join the gully clubs. It is to be hoped, however, that the intro duction of the county constabulary, which is close at hand, will very soon work a reform in the neighbourhood.—Man chester Guardian. IMPORTANT ARRIVAL !—AS we expected, the remarks which we made last week upon the report, that a certain fo reign lady had arrived in this country, have excited strong attention. We would not unnecessarily rouse public curio sity to watch the proceedings of individuals, but when public interests demand to be satisfied that such proceedings are not connected with matters which seriously affect the empire—we deem it most necessary to continue our observations. It is certain that the countess, half-an-hour after her arrival at an hotel in Bond-street, sent by the porter a letter to an illus trious personage, and also another to a noble lord, who seems to act as puppy of all work. His lordship soon afterwards waited upon her in a state of considerable anxiety—upon what business must be left to conjecture. It is also certain, that the French authorities endeavoured to detain the Coun tess in France, and that the English steam packet directors had a hint to keep her arrival a secret. The proprietor of the hotel where she stayed released the-lady's carriage and bag gage from the custom house, and she now resides at Wind sor. We can state also, that a monied wan has since waited upon a party interested, offering £40,000 on loan in case the matter required it. Does this account for the silence observed upon the subject? Be this as it may, we shall deem it our duty to make the strictest inquiries, and our readers may rely upon it that the parties in this untoward affair shall be perseveringly hunted out and exposed.—Argus. AVERAGE PRICES or CORN.—As " facts are stubborn things," we think that a consideration of the following list of the average prices of corn, which is taken from an official source, may be made very profitable at the present time, when so many foolish attempts are being made to deceive the public on the subject of the corn-laws : Prices per qr. Average price of corn for the ten years ending 1838, s. d. since the present graduated scale commenced, from 1829 to 1838 Average of ten years previous, from 1819 to 1828, both inclusive, before the present corn-laws were enacted .................. . ...................

There has been a steady demand from the trade since last week. Ex porters, also, have been censiderable purchasers Prices of all descriptions remain without alteration. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 2. The Butter market continues in an extremely dull state and prices entirely nominal. A continuance of the favourable weather which we now experience will cause consumers to look for a serious declension in prices. New Grass Butter which is shortly expected to make its appearance, will probably open at is per lb. and the first arrivals will doubtless sell readily.—The high rates noticed in our last for Beef are well supported, and the demand both for this article and Pork is fair.—There is not any alteration in the value of Bacon. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MARCH 31. • (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coastways, and from foreign ports, have been to a moderate extent, but fully equal to our very limited demand for every article in the corn trade, and prices last quoted have been barely supported. In Manchester, on Saturday, some very large parcels of French Beans found sales at about 42s per quarter of 4801bs. but there was very little demand for any other article from this port. The duty on Wheat trom foreign ports has decreased 2s per quarter, and is, since Friday last, 18s 8d per quarter, and on Flour 118 2ld per brl. it had also decreased Is 6d per quarter on Oats and Peas; and on Wheat and Flour, from British colonies, it is now at the lowest duty. 6d per quarter, and 3id per barrel. It is very likely that on this day fortnight we may state a further decline of 2s per quarter in the duty on Wheat. Several parcels of Flour in bond have found sales during the past week at 29s to 29s lid per barrel ; but the holders are now rather more firm, and it is easier to sell than to buy at 26s Gd ; in bonded Grain we can note no alteration, prices arc in proportion to the duties. The weather has continued very favourable for all agricultural operations, now, however, too cold and dry, little or no rain having fallen throughout this district for nearly two months. At this day's market there was a fair attendance, and sales to a limited extent were effected of almost every article in the trade at about the prices of this day week. HEAT, per 701bs s. d. s. d.
