The prisoner throughout the night slept very soundly. and was frequently visited. by Inspector Partridge. Mr. M`Cann, the surgeon, had a conversation with him this morning, but he still obstinately refuses to give any explanation of the mo tive that let to the attempted committal of so fiendish an act. The police have made a further search of the prisoner's lodgings, but have not discovered anything to throw anymore light upon the subject. It appears that he resided with his sister, Mrs. Phelps, whose husband is a baker, but who made a successful application to the commissioners to be admitted into the police a few days ago, and who is to commence duty on Monday next. The prisoner's mother is at present in Birmingham, staying with some friends, and she has been there for the last month. He left home about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, but the officers have been unable to trace his steps until the time he attempted to take the Queen and Prince Albert's lives, and he maintains a sullen silence in reference to his connec tions, and the manner in which he has been engaged during the last month, when he quitted the Hog and Pound public house in Oxford-street. The letters referring to Hanover and a secret society, ad vising the members to provide themselves with arms, are signed with the name of Smith, but they bear no date either as to time or place, which tends to throw greater suspicion on them, and to confirm the opinion that exists that the prisoner has been made the tool of some secret or unlawful society. The prisoner called upon Mr. Lenton, butcher, of the Waterloo-road, on Tuesday night, and, in a conversation that the reporter had with Mr. L. this morning, he said, in reference to Oxford, that he was a good boy, and his impres sion was that he must have formed a had connection and be come the dupe of some depraved party. This opinion is strengthened by the words of an intelligent officer who re marked, " I have no doubt, when the excitement has passed away, it will turn out that a diabolical conspiracy exists." The police,. under the direction of Mr. Superintendent May, are most active in endeavouring to trace out the author of the treasonable letters, but they refuse to disclose the result of their activity for obvious reasons, and they state their be lief that the signature " Smith"is an assumed name. The prisoner this mcrning partook of a hearty breakfast, consisting of coffee and bread and butter, and he told Inspec tor Partridge that he was very comfortable, adding, " If all your station-houses are as comfortable as this, they are very different from what I have read of them in the newspapers. About ten o'clock his sister, Mrs. Phelps, called at the station-house, for the purpose of seeing her wretched brother, but she was not allowed to do so, as Mr. May had given strict orders that nobody should have an interview with the prisoner. She appeared so be in great distress of mind. Soon after the time stated, Mr. Lowe,' of Copthall-court ; Mr. W. Clayton, of Princes-street, Soho; Mr. J. Clayton. Mr. Perks, Mr. George Skearce, and the police constable, besides a number of other witnesses who volunteered to give evidence, assembled at the station-house in Gardiner's-lane, which was at this time (as well as the Home Office) surround ed by a denSe crowd of persons, anxiously waiting to catch a glimpse of the prisoner. The names of the several witnesses were entered by In spector Partridge on the police charge-sheet, which stated the prisoner to have been brought in at three quarters past six o'clock last evening, charged " with maliciously and unlawfully discharging two loaded pistols at her . Majesty and Prince Albert." The prisoner's name and address were thus recorded—" Edmund Oxford, 6, West-street, West square—lB." A. few minutes before 11 o'clock the prisoner was brought out of his cell. He was dressed in a blue frock-coat and velvet collar and dark trousers ; he smiled as he passed through the station-house, and appeared to be in good health and rather good-looking. Previous to his removal Mr. M`Cann, the surgeon, cut off a lock of his hair. _ _ In consequence of the crowds round the station-house it was arranged that the prisoner should pass out as quick as possible, and turn to the left, and proceed the back way through Downing -street passage to the Home Office, and this was so excellently managed that scarcely those who were admitted inside the station-house saw him pass along. He did not wear handcuffs, and as soon as he got into Gardiner's lane, he took to his heels as fast as he could, and was followed, as preconcerted, by Inspector Pierce and Hughes. These arrangements prevented any confusion in the public streets, and the prisoner reached the Home Office immedi ately before the clock struck 11. At that hour the following noblemen and gentlemen had arrived to conduct the investigation :—Lord Normanby, the Hon. Fox Manic, Mr. Philips, the Under Secretary, Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate of Bow-street, and Mr. Burnaby, the clerk of the same police court. There were also present Lord Uxbridge, Lord Cardigan, and other noble personages, whose names did not transpire. Several reporters to the public press were waiting to be ad mitted into the Council Chamber, but it was understood that the examination, as in Captain Goode's case (who was charged with threatening her Majesty), would be strictly private. It should he mentioned that when the prisoner passed, or rather ran, through the station-house, his sister exclaimed with bitter agony, " Ah! there he is—there he is," and bursting into convulsive sobs nearly fainted away. [The Globe of last night mentions a rumour that the pri soner is a Birmingham chartist, and a member of the Lon don committee.] SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Eleven o'clock. THE DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT ON THE QUEEN'S LIFE. PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY, (From the London Standard of last night.) This morning at daylight the police recommenced an ac tive search for the bullets fired' out of the pistols, but their exertions were not successful. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The Marquis of Normanby, Mr. Fox Maule, Lord Ux bridge, &c. &c., remained in deliberation until past two o'clock on the proper plan to be adopted in conducting the examination of the prisoner, and arranging the evidence to be laid before the Cabinet Council. During this time seve ral witnesses were cal!ed into the room, but they were not examined upon oath, but gave their statements, in order to regulate the course of proceeding in a more formal manner. not forthe prisoner, was at first supposed. At present, we believe, the prisoner has no professional adviser. Shortly after two o'clock Lord Melbourne, Lord J. Rus• s 311, Lord Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and al the other Cabinet Ministers, arrived at the Home-office, when what transpired during the inquiry this morning was laid before them. The Ministers remained in deliberation some time, after which they were joined by several members of the Privy Council, and orders were given to bring the prisoner (who wag in an adjoining room) before them, it being decided forthwith to proceed with the formal examination of witnesses. The prisoner having been conveyed before the Council, the first witness was called in and examined at great length. The examination of this witness was not concluded at the time I sent this copy, but if anything further transpires, I shall for ward it for a later edition. The Duke of Cleveland and a great number of the nobility and principal gentry called at the Home Office during the day, and evinced tl.e greatest anxiety to ascertain if any more facts had transpired, or any further light had been thrown on the horrible and revolting tra nsa ctio n , but no information was given in any case. The greatest possible secrecy in conducting the inquiry is observed We understand that throughout the day the prisoner has preserved the greatest possible coolness and composure of mind, and that when he was taken before the council his self-possession did not for one moment leave him. He is very reserved, and speaks but little. It is said (b u t we d o no t vouc h f o r the fact) that in the course of the morning the prisoner told one of the policemen that be received orders to lire, and he did fire ; but he should not disclose the name of the person who so in structed him, as, if any one was to die, it should be him, and him alone. We give the above as we have heard it ; and we are the more anxious to do so, as it is said to agree with some communication which has been made to the council this morning. -- We believe we can mention with certainty that evidence to the following erte,c nos heel' reeived by Lord Normanby to day, viz. :—that s nne middle-aged person, most respectably dressed, was seen standing near the prisoner when he fired at horlVlajesty and Prince Albert, and gave him (the pri soTafYthe word of command to fire. It is said the individual alluded to can be identified, but he is not at present in custody. If this statement turns out correct, it is most im portant, as it clearly proves that more than one .person was concerned in the diabolical attempt to take away the life of our young and beloved Monarch. COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER FOR HIGH TREASON. • The inquiry concluded this evening about half-past five o'clock. Several witnesses were examined, but their evi dence, we understand, was not taken at any great length. None of the particulars have transpired. The witnesses having signed their signatures, we were in formed that the prisoner was told that he stood fully com mitted to Newgate, on a charge of high treason, and that he heard the result with the greatest composure. Some persons think the prisoner will be brought up again before he is finally committed ; but we understand such is not the case, and that he will be conveyed from the Home Office to Newgate in the course of the evening. The Solicitor-General was summoned to attend the Coun cil, but in consequence of the very dangerous state of Lady Wilde, the honourable and learned gentleman was not able to attend. TII I;,' BULLET FOUND. At about hall-past five two poor boys, one of whom is named James Jennings, found one of the bullets fired at her Majesty. It was buried in the ground directly under the wall, which was marked by it. On finding it, the boy put it in his pocket, and was about to walkaway with it, when he was stopped by Mr. Manning, of 15, Great Portland-street, Cavendish-square, who was standing near at the time, and brought to the Palace. The bullet is flattened on one of its sides, and is marked with red streaks, as though it had struck against a brick. It is in possession of the inspector, at the Palace, who also took charge of the boys. HOUSE OF LORDS-THURSDAY. THE RECENT ATTEMVT• TO ASSASSLNAIE THE QUEEN. Viscount MgenounNE rose amidst the most profound silence, to move an Address of Congratulation to her Ma jesty, expressive of their lordships' satisfaction at her Ma jesty's miraculous escape from the attack of the assassin in the Park yesterday. noble viscount said that their lord ships had doubtless beard with feelings of horror and indii nation of the desperate attempt made upon her Majes;ty s sacred life; yesterila.y . twO pistols were fired at her, and it is only matter of *math:: that her Majesty was not destroyed. (Hear.) Upon all former occasions of the same melancholy nature it has always been the custom to address the Throne in terms of congratulation. ( Hear.) Their lordships, there fore, will not be surprised that the earliest opportunity, and that without notice, had been taken to call the attention of the house to the subject. (Hear, hear.) He would not then expatiate on the probable cause of the daring outrage upon the Royal person ; it was at present the subject of inquiry, and would hereafter become the subject of judicial inquiry, therefore he would be silent on the point. (Cheers.) He should content himself by moving an address of congratula tion to her Majesty. The address, couched in the usual terms, was then put from the 'Woolsack and carried. On the motion of Viscount MELBOURNE, the Duke of Sussex, the Dnke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Privy Seal, the Lord President of the Council, the Bishop of London, Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Nor manby, and 'other peer:4, were named as a committee to frame the address to her Majesty. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY. THE LATE ATTEMPT UPON HER MAJESTY'S LIFE. Lord STANLEY said, that having given notice of his in tention to move to-day the order of the day for the committee on the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, and as the hour for public business had arrived, he should have risen now to make the motion, but as he understood the noble lord, the Secretary for the Colonie s , would have to make an announce ment, on which it was desirable there should be unanimity on both sides of the house (hear, hear), as it seemed to him de sirable not to mix up that matter with any other discussion, he (Lord Stanley) should abstain from moving the order of the day, presuming that all sides would agree that the motion of the noble lord ought to have precedence. (Loud cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he rose only to say that the noble lord had rightly anticipated that it was his (Lord J. Russell's) intention to move an Address to her Majesty, on the subject of tba late atrocious and treasonable attack ; but thinking it most desirable to follow the precedents on various former occassions, namely, a joint Address of both houses of 'parlia ment, he preferred taking that course than immediately to propose a-separate address from this house. It was the in tention of his hon. friend, the first Lord of the Treasury, to ask the consent of the other house to agree to an address, and if that was adopted, he (Lord J. Russell) should then take measures for adopting that address, and making it the joint address of both houses of parliament. (Loud cheers.) The business of proceeding with the orders of the day was then suspended ; a course of proceeding in strict accordance with the precedents afforded by the events which happened in the reign bf his late Majesty, George the Third. At half-past five o'clock, a message from the House of Lords desired a present conferenee with this house, on a subject naturally affecting the safety of her Majesty and the happiness of her people. On the motion of Lord Joule RUSSELL, the present con ference, as desired, was agteed to : and the following mem bers were appointed a committee to conduct the same on the part of the house :—Lord J. Russell, Sir R. Peel. Lord Palmerston, Lord Stanley, Sir J. Hobhouse, Lord Howick, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Goulbourne, Mr. La bouchere, Sir J. Graham, Sir H. Vivian, Sir E. Sugden, Mr. Macaulay, Sir G. Grey, Sir F. Burdett, the Attorney- General, Lord Saudon, the Lord Advocate, Mr. B. Clive, Lord Mahon, Mr. R. Alston, Mr. Lucas, Mr. T. Free mantle, Sir D. Norr e y s , M r . F. Maule, Lord G. Somerset, Lord Ashley, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord G. Lennox, Sir G. Clerk, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Lefroy, and Mr. W. S. O'Brien. The committee then proceeded to the conference, and on their return at six o'clock, Lord J. RVSELLL appeared at the bar, and reported that in consequence of the recent atrocious and treasonable at tempt on her Majesty's person, the House of Lords had agreed to an address to her Majesty, to which address the House of Lords desired the concurrence of this house. Lord J. Russ= then moved that the said address be taken into consideration. The Address having been read by the clerk at the table, Lord J. RUSSELL then rose and moved the adoption 01 the Address. Sir R. PEEL rose to express, on the part of those with whom he acted, their entire concurrence in the motion of the noble lord. In answer to a question put by Mr. James, Lord J. RUSSELL said he had two hours ago received from her Majesty's own lips, that her Majesty's health had not suffered from the late occurrence. (Loud Cheers.) Mr. PLumPTRE suggested that there should be a day ap. pointed for a public thanksgiving for her Majesty's escape. Lord J. RUSSELL could not answer that suggestion at pre, sent, but it was deserving of deep consideration. The Address was then agreed to, nem. con. [Left sitting.] Edward Oxford is the son of a - jeweller ; his fa her has been dead about eight years, and his mother subsequently kept a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road, opposite the York Hotel, which she left about three years since. Oxford has received a very decent education, and has, up to the time of this occurrence, borne the character of a respectable, sober, honest, decent lad. He has never at any time exhibited the least traces of insanity, but on Monday evening those who had known him before thought he appeared more thoughtful and reserved than usual. When his mother left the coffee shop in the Waterloo-road, he went to reside with his aunt, who keeps a tavern at Hounslow, in the capacity of pot-boy. He has subsequently lived as barman at two different public houses in London, and his employers all give him an excel lent character. His mother is at present at Birmingham, of which place the prisoner is a native. She left London about three weeks since. The prisoner has latterly been out of place, and has been by no means well provided with money. It is therefore exceedingly improbable that he purchased the pistols from his own resources. It seems to be the opinion of all those who are acquainted with Oxford that he is a mere tool in the hands of some designing villain. He is a member of the Church of England, but has never exhibited any symp toms of religious enthusiasm. BRITISH GUIANA. EXTRACT FROM A LETTER DATED DEMERARA, MARCH STH, 1840, " I am sorry to say our prospects in this once flourishing colony still continue very gloomy ; insomuch that many peo ple are trying to realize what little property they have in order to quit it for good and all. This, however, is only what was to be expected ; as, for the last fifteen years, we have been so harassed and oppressed by the legislative enact ments of the mother country, that the spirits of the colonists have quite broken down, hundreds of respectable families and individuals have been consigned to ruin and beggary, and the hopes of almost all completely and for ever blasted. " It has been said that British Guiana remains a real terra incognita ; and with shame we must confess that we know little indeed of the internal, resources of this splendid colony, which, unless some decisive measures be instantly adopted, is, we have great reason to fear, doomed in no long time, to become a second Africa, and its present inhabitants will be ultimately exterminated altogether, or I have to fall back like the North American Indians, to give place to their new masters, the blacks, who amount to 80,000 ; and who, it is not improbable, will be joined by those of Surinam ; in which case, what would one, two, or three thousand militia, and it may be six or seven hundred regular troops avail us? " We know that in this warm relaxing climate, indolence, like drunkenness, and all such pernicious habits, grows upon those who unfortunately give way to it ; and although so many slaves have been freed within this colony in the course of the last ten or twelve years, there have been, compara tisely, only very few instances of free negroes, male or fe male, working in the field for hire. They consider it a dis grace to be so employed. Every river and creek now swarms with idle and worthless free people, many of them very bad characters. In this district alone (Christianburg) there are upwards of two hundred, not one in ten of whom has any settled place of abode, or visible means of subsistence, inde pendent of hunting and fishing ; so that with this example before our eyes, and with such an immense tract of unoccu pied country around us, to which the negroes may retire and indulge in sloth and idleness, what can we expect but that before many years shall elapse they will sink into savage life, instead of rising to the condition of' a respectable, happy, and industrious peasantry. samy Lc a a cructly, cvcr, fur suclx a E•tatq Of things, I do not mean to deny ; and that remedy, if any where, is to be found in immigration. But even as to this the planters' hopes are gone • nor, as you may well suppose, have the terms on which her majesty's government have offered them a bill to promote it, tended in the slightest degree, to give them encouragement. " At present, as I have already observed, we are acquainted with only a very small' portion of the interior of Guiana. Inexhaustible in its natural treasures, it has been hitherto most strangely neglected ; although a few thousand pounds, judiciously expended in exploring it, would, there is every reason to believe, be productive of incalculable benefit, not only to science, but to the British nation. But, if such con siderations be insufficient, there is yet another and a higher one. Are not the souls of the native Indians equally pre cious in the sight of God with those of the African race ? And why, I would further ask, has so much money been la• wished, and so many valuable lives sacrificed in a fruitless attempt to Christianise the blacks on the coast of Africa, and in endeavouring to establish a trade with the savages of the interior of that pestilential country, whilst the poor be nighted, but mild and inoffensive Indians, inhabiting one of the fairest portions of the globe, have been neglected and left to perish, uncheered by one ray of hope or glimpse of future happiness? For, until last year, not one missionary has been sent amongst them, nor a single attempt made to instruct them in the right knowledge of God, or to extricate them from their lamentable state of ignorance. I have been protector of the Indians for Demerara river more than 21 years, and have frequently brought the subject forward ; but, I regret to say, it was of no manner of use; and I now almost despair of ever being able to benefit them, or to draw attention to the resources of a country which could alone furnish more than a sufficient quantity of the finest and most durable timber in the• world, for the use of all the ship-build ing establishments in Great Britain and Ireland."

Now, here is a result taken from known andcorrefealtidaeaytao, of the as to amount, ( the, very reverse of declamatory affording irrefragile evidence of the egregious assertions, that corn-laws have been a tax on the community, and have made corn dear. On the one side is a statement £600,000 gained , on the other side is a stateme nt of £600,000 lost, to the community !—a p rett y p rominent difference ," and if we proceed on the s ub j ect, we shall find a cont inuation, also, similarly promin ent. The asserters of loss ca n never have investigated the subject on its own merits : they must have been quite satisfied with imagination. And even Mr. Villiers, in his prepared speeches, only gives the opinion of men whom he calls authorities against the corn-laws, and that no man of any consequence has given an opinion in their favour. Does he consider the Queen's prime minister as one of those men of no consequence, who, as his reason, (the only thing useful in opinion), in a few words Rye the ques tion the most suitable and correct definition,—in substance, I believe, " that the man who would place the country in a state of dependence on foreir cou ntries for the necessaries of life, must be a madman ?' ' It is true he has a number of colleagues, who, in that re spect, are either madmen, or feign to be so, to keep up their popularity with their supporters. The minister and they, however, know that there are enough of sane men in the .. house to Prevent them from doing injury. Again, Mr. Villiers says, there are eight hundred thousand men in the manufacturing districts, who point to the corn laws as the cause of their sufferings, and to the repeal as their cure. If they imagine that the corn-laws are the cause, and the only cause of bad business, and flat the repeal of them is only necessary to give them a great business, they will find their imagination has taken a very Superficial and a very in correct view of the subject. The nations of Europe, availing the m s e l ves o f the advan tage of knowledge which the results of the crusades of Bona parte afforded them, are proceeding in peace and security in fostering and protecting their own industry and their own independence. We have no power —we have no right, if we had—to prevent them. We have not prevented them from obtaining our machinery and our skilful workmen, and they will not give up one inch of their markets to us. We have already furnished them with some six millions of gold. Where is the great trade ?—still in the imagination. And as to our competition being regulated by the price of corn, it is mere babbling. Why, if our skilful workmen had bread for nothing, it would not save above Is. 6d. per week. And what bread does machinery eat? The following statements as to the population, commerce, and currency of the British Colonies in the year 1836, are gathered from Mr. Porter's 'Fables, just published, and may be very acceptable to our readers generally:— LowEn CANADA.—The population was 572,227 ; the im ports, £1,941,053 ; the exports, £1,034,514 ; the paper cur rency in circulation, £343,972 ; however, the population is really supposed to exceed 600,000.

DIRECTORS' POWER TO SUE FOR CALLS.—An im portant decision was on Monday given by Lord Abinger in the Court of Exchequer, in the case of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Newhaven company against Hibblewhite, with respect to the power of directors to sue for arrears of calls. His lord ship held that after a declaration of forfeiture of shares had been made by the directors, they had no power to sue for calls on them until that declaration bad been 'negatived at a general meeting. But of course the defaulter could be only freed from his liability by the confirmation of the forfeiture at the meeting. If the meeting should not Sanction the de claration of the directors, he was liable, and might be sued directly after.—Railway Times.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 9. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) . . Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, coastways, and from foreign ports, have been to a moderate extent, and the continuance of very favourable weather, with a depression in the London, and in most of our influential country Corn markets during the past week, have caused a very moderate and limited demand here for Wheat at a turther decline of 2d to 3d per 711 b. for Oats, at a decline of Id per 451 b. and for almost every other article in the Corn trade at a small depression, though in their general quotations of Tuesday we could make no alteration. The only change in the duties on Grain from foreign ports, since Friday last, is an increase of Is 6d per qr. on Barley : it is expecteu that there will be an increase of 2s per qr. on Wheat, and If id per barrel on Flour, and a decrease on Oats and Peas of Is 6d per qr. next Friday. Several parcels of Flour, in bond, have found sales during the pa3t week at 21s rid to 25s 6d per barrel, and of Oats, in bond, at 3s 8d to 33 9d per 451 b. At this day's market there was a very fair demand for Wheat. Oats, and Flour, at about the decline above-quoted, and for other articles at about the rates of this day week. STATE OP TRADE. MAiNes-ren..7--As usual during the Whitsuntide holidays; and the annual stoppage of the canals, there was very little business done yesterday ' • but that little, we are sorry to say, was at declini ng p r i ces for almost all descriptions of goods and yarn, and the market wore a very heavy appearance. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE, B. The market to-day has not been so brisk as it was on the last three or four Mondays, but prices have undergone little or no change. During this last month, while the demand has been good, and the manufacturers for the Blackwater market have met with a ready sale for their flannels, in the warehouses there have been no extra orders given, or any improvement in the demand worth mentioning. It is supposed that the merchants have bought more freely of late, under an impres sion that wool was at its lowest • prices. We have no altera tion in the wool market to-day. Prices yet continue firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, TUESDAY, JUNE 9.—There was less business done at this market to-day than for sonic time past; and as is usual on holiday market days, very few fresh goods were brought in. Great complaints obtain as to the up-hill nature of business----:the want of that buoyancy and elasticity which characterizes a profitable trade. Goods are sold, and in tolerable large quantities ; but generally at little, if auy, profit. The woolstaplers especially have had hard work of it for a long time, and have suffered great losses ; and yet the price of the raw material is considered too high. We have no change to note in prices, which are generally very firm ; great caution being observed on all hands. Business in the warehouses is not quite so brisk.— Manchester Guardian. COLONIAL STATISTICS. PETT Y TIM MISER. On the 2d of June, 1803, died Thomas Pett, a native of Warwickshire. At ten years old he came to London with a solitary shilling in his pocket. As he had neither friends nor relations in the capital, he was indebted to the humanity of an old woman, who sold pies, for a morsel of bread, till he could procure himself a crust. In the course of a tew days he was engaged as an errand-boy by a tallow-chandler, whose wife could not reconcile herself to his awkward man ners and rustic gait; she dismissed him one cold winter's evening, with this observation :—" Your master hired you in my absence, and I'll pack you off in his." Her good hus band did not desert Tom ; he found him out, and bound hint apprentice to a butcher, in the borough of Southwark, where he behaved so well during his apprenticeship, that his master recommended him, when be was out of his time, as a jour neyman to another of the trade in Clare market, For the first five years he was engaged at twenty-five pounds a-year, meat and drink. The accumulation and keeping of money were the two sole objects of his thoughts. His expenses were reduced to three heads—lodging, clothing, and washing. He took a back room on the second floor, with one window, which occasionally admitted a straggling sunbeam. Every article of his dress was second-hand, nor was he choice in the colour or quality ; he jocosely observed, when twitted on his garb, that, according to Solomon, there was nothing new under the sun ; the colour was a mere matter of fancy ; and that the best was that which stuck longest to its integrity. On washing, he used to say a man did not deserve a shirt that would not wash it himself; and that the only fault he had to find with Lord North was the duty he imposed upon soap. One expense, however, lay heavy on his mind, and robbed him of many a night's sleeep ; this was shaving; he often lamented that he had not learned to shave himself ; but he desired consolation from hoping that beards would one day be in fashion, and the Bond-street loungers would be driven to wear artificial ones. He made a rash vow one night, when lie was very thirsty, that as soon as he had accumulated a thousand pounds he would treat himself to a pint of porter every Saturday : this he was soon enabled to perform : but when an additional duty was laid on beer, he sunk to half a pint, which he said was sufficient for any man that did not wish to get drunk, and die in a workhouse. If he heard of an auction in the neighbourhood, he was sure to run for a catalogue, and, when he had collected a number of these together, he used to sell them for waste paper. When he was first told that the bank was restricted from paying in specie, he shook loudly, as Klopstock says, took to his bed, and could not be prevailed on to take a morsel, or met his lips, till he was assured that all was right. On Sundays, after dinner, be used to lock himself up in his room, and amuse himself with reading an old newspaper, or writing rhymes, many of which he left behind him on slips of paper. The following is a specimen of his talents in this way . ON HEARING THAT SMALL SEER WAS RAISED. They've rais'd the price of table drink ;- What is the reason, do you think ? The tax on malt, the cause I hear; But what has malt to do with table beer? He was never known, even in the depthof the coldest winter to light a fire in his room, or to go to bed by candle light. - He was a great friend to good cheer at the expense of another. Every man, said he, ought to eat when he can get it—au empty sack cannot stand. If his thirst at any time got the better of his avarice, and water was not at hand, he would venture sometimes to sten into a public-house, and call for a penny-worth of beer. On those trying occasions he always sat in the darkest corner of the tap-room, in order that he might drink in every thing that was said with thirsty ear. He was seldom or ever known to utter a word, unless Bonaparte or a parish dinner were mentioned, and then he would draw a short contrast between kickshaws and the roast beef and plum-pudding of Old England, which he called the staple commodity of life. He once purchased a pint of small beer; but, the moment he locked it up in his closet, he repented, tore the hair out of his wig, and threw the key out of the window, lest he should be tempted, in some unlucky moment, to make too free with it. Pett's pulse, for the last twenty years of his life, rose and fell with the funds. He never lay down or rose that he did not bless the first inventor of compound interest. His constant saying was, that gold was the clouded cane of youth, and the crutch of old age. For forty-two years he lived in Clare Market as journey man butcher ; and lodged thirty years in one gloomy apart ment, which was never brightened up with coal, candlelight, or the countenance of a visitant. He never treated man, woman, or child, to a glass of any kind of liquor —never lent or borrowed a penny—never spoke ill or well of any one—and never ate a morsel at his own expense. About three days before his dissolution, he was pressed by his employer to make his will. He reluctantly assented, but observed, as he signed his name, that it was a hard thing that a man should sign away all his property with a stroke of a pen. He left £2,475 in the three per cents. to distant rela tions, not one of whom he had ever seen or corresponded with. About half an hour before he died he wanted to bargain for a coffin. The following inventory of Pett's oods and chattels was taken aft er hi s d eath:— g An old bald wig. A Two a i s r h o i r f t s s t that i s g h e t m p b a r s o s i d fo e r r efids threads of di freren t A pair of shoes, or rather sandals. A bedstead instead of a bed. A toothless comb. An almanack out of all date. A ricketty chair. A leafless table. A looking-glass that survived the power of reflection. A leathern bag with a captive guinea.

A PATRIOTIC BAKER.—" A baker of Constance," says the Cherbourg paper, " was pulled up the other day for selling bread under weight. He alleged as an excuse that he intended this bread for his English customers, and that he would not have cheated his French customers for all the world ! The rogue was fined according to law." Cash.

The father of her husband had Idin, residing at L'Atac, in St. 'Jersey, presented her husband tri four were stilt-born, and the The father of her husband had vey Stur. twenty-one children.—Guern.i CURIOUS FACT.—At a recent meeting at the Royal Inst tution, London, Mr. Faraday directed attention to a shot which he had received from Woolwich. Experiment had shown, that, by tilling a hollow iron shot with lead, its speed and force, when fired, were greatly increased ; but a singular effect on the heavier lead was observed. The lead was found to have receded—to have been compressed into one half the space it occupied previously to being discharged from the gun. In the case exhibited, the iron case or shell had been filled with leaden bullets, round of course ; but, after being tired, and the iron shell broken, it was seen that all the balls had coalesced, each sphere had become a polyhedron, and complete aggregation had ensue d. Thi s e ff ec t i s , doubtless, attributable to the difference of inertia in the two metals, and to the instant of time that elapses before the inner metal is acted upon by the enormous force of the explosion. ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHANCERY PRACTICE.—A family of the name of H—t. The father was a highly respectable clergyman, possessing some valuable freehold estates—on his deatli the fainily was involved in law ; the Court of Chancery was the scene of action—the suit or suits continued, I think, upwards of forty years ; and every branch of the family was eventually reduced to extreme wretchedness and poverty. About fourteen or sixteen years ago, a number of attorneys, the sons and grandsons of their departed parents who had been engaged in the suits before them, met at a certain inn in S—shire, which might be named. They examined their bills ; they had ascertained before they met the amount of money in the accountant-general's hands, and found it just sufficient to satisfy them, and they then determined (the parties in the case being all, reduced to pauperism) the suit ought no longer to be persevered in! This was generous.— Woolsack. ANECDOTE OF A DOG.—There is a Scotchwoman who travels about our neighbourhood with a basket, of the name of Jane Stirzaker, or Jenny Tysick, as she is commonly called. She owns a small dog that generally accompanies her. A few years ago she had a young child, which the dog was very fond of, being in the habit of lying with it in the cradle. But it so happened that the child took an illness and died. Jenny was at that time living at llawkshead, but her infant was buried at Stavely. From the mother's distress of mind at the time, little notice was taken of the dog ; but, soon after the funeral, it was found to be missing, nor could any tidings be heard of it for a fortnight. But the poor mo ther, passing through Stavely, thought she would visit the church-yard where the infant was interred ' • when, behold ! there was the little dog lying in a deep hole which it had scratched over the child's grave ! It was in a most emaciated state of hunger and privation. It had been 'seen occasionally for some days in the streets of the village.—Kendal Mer cury. A FRIEND IN NEED.—A few days ago, a little boy, driv ing a donkey on the turnpike-road from - Redruth to Cam borne, came to the gate, and being unable to pay the toll, was obliged to retrace his steps to obtain the means, if he knew where to find them. On his way back, he fell in with a sailor, who seeing the poor little fellow in tears, asked what he was crying for. On being told, he desired the boy to follow him ; and on reaching the gate, the toll being again demanded for the ass, Jack asked in a careless manner if a man might carry anything through without paying. He was answered in the affirmative; when suddenly turning round and seizing the ass, he carried it through the gate in triumph, to the great delight of the driver.—Woolmer's Exeter Ga zette. PROSPECTS OF GAME.—The prospects of a very large brood of moor game was never snore cheering than it has been this spring on the moors near Blackstone Edge until within a few weeks, when numbers of the railway men have been in the habit of going in the moors in pursuit of and destroying game. On Sundry last, a game keeper under James llearden, Esq., of Rochdale, went in pursuit of seven of the railway men, who abused him in a shameful manner, and destroyed in his presence 15 nests of grouse eggs. The keeper was glad to get off the moors with his lite. BEDFORDSHIRE CUCUMBERS.—In the southern counties of England, pickling cucumbers are easily raised withoutany artificial heat, being sown in drills in the open ground. The earth is made fine and level, and shallow circular hollows are formed with the hand, a foot wide, and half an inch deep in the middle. The distance between each hollow is three feet and a half, and the distance between the rows five or six feet. Eight or ten seeds are deposited in each cavity. This is done in the beginning of June. When the plants appear, they are thinned out to three or four, the weakest or less healthy be ing rejected. They are watered occasionally, according to the state of the weather. The cucumbers are gathered chiefly from the middle to the end of August. Vast quantities of these open-ground gherkins are taken to the London market. The village of Sandy, in Bedfordshire, has been known to furnish 10,000 bushels of drill cucumbers in one week. The heart of Boieldieu, the composer, which was presented by his widow to the city of Rouen, has been removed with great ceremony from the chapel in the cemetery, where it was deposited in November 1834, to the monument which has been erected for its final reception at the expense of the municipality. THE SEA SERPENT ONCE MORE.—The strange monster that has regularly, once a year, made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Nahant, has this season taken up its resi dence on the coast of New Jersey. The United States Ga zette publishes a letter from Mr. Job Salmon, of Cranmer Town, near Manalaawk, dated April 9, saying that four or five persons saw his majesty of the great deep on the 28th of March, quietly sunning himself on the surface of the waters in Dinner Point Creek. It is a snug sort of hiding-place for his snakeship, just large enough to allow him to sport at his ease, which lie seemed to be doing, when Mr. Job Salmon and several others suddenly came upon him one day proceed ing down the creek. He appeared of a black colour, 50 feet long, eight inches in diameter, and holding his head five or six feet above the water. A posse of villagers, to whom the news of this extraordinary arrival had been communicated, with arms, ammunition, harpoons, stakes, seines, lines, and divers other instruments, proceeded to the beach to give a warm welcome to the stranger, but he had snuff e d th e secre t, and hurried himself away.—N ew York paper. - - EPIDEMIC AMONGST CATTLE.—At the recent meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, Dr. Whitlaw declared his full persuasion of the deleterious nature of butter cups, and other species of ranunculus in pastures, to the cattle feeding on them—attributing to the poisonous properties of these plants not only the recent epidemic, but a ll former a tt ac k s of the kind, rendering the animals poor and unwholesome as food. • He would, therefore, recommend to the society and the public to try the experiment of ploughing up the old pas tures, saturated as they were already with the poisonous exu dation of deleterious weeds. He would also refer to the evil effects of bringing animals to such a degree of obesity that their fat might be literally termed neither more nor less than the " essential oil of dung."—The Duke of Richmond said that butter cups were no novelties in our pastures, and there fore, that if they were indeed the cause of the distemper in question, why, he would ask, had we not had it before? Be sides, it would be presumptuous in any man to assert the cause of a disease before gleaning from every quarter the ex perience on which he w as t o f oun d hi s reasonings.—Worcea ter Journal. THE GREAT Boy.---In the Albany Evening Journal there is an account of a young Vermonter, the son of a Mr. Den slow Barber, of Richmond, Chittenden county, who, though but 3 years and 11 months old, is 4 feet in height, weighs about 1001bs., and with the exception of a slight curve of the legs below the knee, occ.agroned by walking too early, and the great weight of the body, is in every respect propor tioned like a man, and has the muscular strength of a boy of 16. ' The general expression of the face exhibits the spright liness and prying curiosity of the child of 6 or 8 years, while the hair, whiskers, voice, and physical lineaments, are those of a man of 30. TIIE NEW CONSERVATORY AT CHATSWORTII.—By the summer of 1840 (says the author of Sketches in Derbyshire), this will prove another attraction. It is on an immense scale, extending over an acre of ground ; and, when replete with choice exotics—some of nature's rarest gifts—cannot fail to become a novelty of general interest, and to have many claims on the attention of our more learned horticulturists. Some idea of its magnitude may be formed on knowing that the centre arch of the roof is 76 feet high, with a span of 70 feet ! affording ample room for the stupendous growth of the American aloe (Agave Americana); or, indeed, the loftiest green-house plant ever fostered in these islands. EARTHQUAKE.—A letter from the Carpathian Mountains, received at Vienna, says —" On April 26, we had a violent shock of earthquake, attended with a frightful storm ; and on the 30th, between ten and eleven at night, the shock was re peated with such force that at Altendorf, the frontier town between Galicia and Hungary, many chimneys were thrown down, and the church-bells were set a ringing. Large cracks are to be seen in house walls, and fissures have been made in the banks of the rivers. Soon afterwards we had a return of winter, and the mountains are again covered with snow, which has also fallen on the plains and in the valleys. From the 7th, however, the weather has become rather mild, but vegetation comes on slowly." DEATH OF AN OPIUM EATER.—A man, who played the pianoforte at a public-house . in Ratcliffe Highway, killed himself on Wednesday, by chewing a large quantity of opium. He was in the habit of taking laudanum ; but not having his phial with him on that evening, he sent for a pennyworth of opium to a druggist's shop. A woman in the shop sold the quantity asked for, and the pianoforte-player put it in his mouth and kept it there till he fell down in a stupor. The stomach-pump was applied in vain.

The chairman stated that there would be a steamer put on to run between Fleetwood town and Ulverstone, and another between Fleetwood and Belfast. The secretary mentioned that the former would run twice, or at least, once a day. lie said that Captain Denham's report of the harbour works would be sent to the shareholders with the director's report, and adverted to the Patent Screw Light House, erected by Messrs. Mitchell and Son, of which a diagram and specification were given by us in our number for April 25th, and said that it had answered its expectations most admirably. Others, he said, were erecting on the same principle. He observed that there could be no doubt but that the railway would be opened the first week in July. To a question by Mr. Philpots, he re plied that of the £5O shares the issues had been to the amount of £130,000, and of the new, or £25, to the amount of £90,000. On the motion of : Mr. Philpots, the six retiring directors were re-elected. Thanks were voted to the direc tors, secretary, and engineer, and a very handsome testimony to the zeal and ability of the secretary was given by Mr. Elwin.—Railway Magazine.
