SECOND EDITION. • Standard•ofce, Eleven o'clock. THE DIABOLICAL ATFEMPT 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. 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 afternpon, 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 be has been engaged during the last month, when he quitted the Hog and Pound public house in Oxford-street. The letters referring to llanover 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 morOing --- partook - Of a hearty breakfast, consisting of coffee and bread and butter, and he told Inspec tor Partridge that he was very comfortable, adding, " It all your station-houses are as comfortable as this, they are very different from what I have r ea d o f 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..Clavton. 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-18." 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 us 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 •Downin,g-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 lie could, and was followed, as preconcerted, by Inspector Pierce and Hughes. These arrangements prevented any confusion hi 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 Maule, 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 be mentioned that when the prisoner passed, or rather ran, through the station-house, his sister exclaimed with bitter agony, " Au ! 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.] FURTHER. PARTICULARS. The Marquis of Normanby, Mr. Fox Massie, 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 called into the room, but they were not examined upon oath, but gave their statements, in order to regulate the course of proceeding in a snore formal manner. Mr. Hobler is retained as solicitor for the prosecution, and not for the 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 - sell, Lord Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and all 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 was 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 transaction, 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, anti speaks but little. It is said (but we do not vouch for the fact) that in the course of the morning the prisoner told one of the policemen that he received orders to tire, 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 lave 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 belic'e we can mention with certainty that evidence to the following effect has been reeived by Lord Normanby to day, viz. :—that some middle-aged person, most respectably dressed, was seen standing near the prisoner when he tired at her Majesty and Prince Albert, and gave him (the pri soner) the 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 roost im portant, as it clearly proves that more than one person wits concerned in the diabolic•:d attempt to take away the life of our young and beloved Monarch. COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER FOR HIGH TREASON. The inquiry conc.luded 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 he brought up again before he is finally committed ; but we understand such is not the case, and that he w►ll be conveyed from the Home Office to Newgatr 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. TIIE BULLET FOUND. At about half-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 walk away 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 ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE QUEEN• --•- - Viscount MELDOUB.NE, 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. The noble viscount said that their lord ships had doubtless heard with feelings of horror and indig nation of the, desperate attempt made upon her Majesty's . sacred life ; yesterday two pistols were tired at her, and it is only matter of wonder 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 ho 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 Duke 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 peers, were named as a committee to frame the address to her Majesty. HOUSE OF- COMMONS.-THURSDAY. THE LATE ATTEMPT UPON TIER 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 Registraticn of Voters (Ireland) Bill, and as the hour for public business had arrived, he should have risen now to make the motion, hut as he understood the noble lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, 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) 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 Enother country, that the spirits of the colonists have quite brolen 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, compass 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. " That there may be a remedy, however, for such a state of things, 1 do not mean to deny ; and that remedy, it 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 hr 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 vet 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 vished, 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."

The asserters of loss c an t" ' never have investigated the subject on its own • merits • • they m ust have been quite satisfied with imagination. And even Mr. Villiers, in his prepared sp eeches, onl y g ives the o p inio n 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 gave 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 foreign countries 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 manufacturin g 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 bail business, and that the repeal of them is only necessary to g i ve t h em a great b us i ness, they w ill f i n d their imagination has taken a very superficial and a very in correct view of the subject. The nations of Europe, availi ng th emse l ves o f th e 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. e 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 millio ns o f gold. Where is the great trade ?—still in the im ag i nat i on . And as to our competition being regulated by the price of corn, it is mere babbling. Why, if our skilful wo r k men h ad bread for nothing, it would not save above Is. Gd. per week. And what bread does machinery eat? STATE OF TRADE. MANcnEsTER.—As usual during the Whitsuntide holidays, and the annual stoppage of the canals, there was very little business done yesterday ; bat that little, we are sorry to say, was at declining prices for almost all descriptions of goods and yarn, and the market wore a very heavy appearance. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE, S. — 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 some 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 any, 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. intention to move an Address to her Majesty, on the subject of the 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. ussell) should then take measures for adopting that address, and making it the joint addresS of both houses of parliament. (Loud cheers.) The bustness 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 of his late Majesty, George the Third. At half-past five o'clock, a message from the House of Lords desired a present conference with this house, on a subject naturally affecting the safety of her Majesty and the happiness of her people. On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the present con ference, as desired, was agreed 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 Sandon, the Lord Advocate, Mr. B. Clive, Lord Mahon, Mr. R. Alston, Mr. Lucas, Mr. T. Free mantle, Sir D. Norreys, 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. RUSEaLL 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. RUSSELL 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 of 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. I'a;t4IPTRI: 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.

Oxford has received ii very decent education, and has, up to the time of this Occtirtence, bbrne the character of a respectable, sober, honest, decent lad.

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.

Since our report of Tuesday last, a few small parcels of Wheat and Beans and a fair quantity of Malt have been re ceived here coastwise, but from Ireland we have nothing fresh in worth naming; and, without any arrivals from the United States, the supplies from the continental ports of Europe consist merely of 4,250 qrs. Wheat, 86 qrs. Barley, and 100 qrs. of Beans. From the close of bUsiness on Tuesday until to-day, we experienced a moderate demand for Wheat and American free Flour, with rather more firmness in each at previous rates; and of bonded Flour a few thousand barrels changed hands at 245. 3d. to 245. 6d., principally at the latter price.— Grinding Barley also met some inquiry, while other articles of the trade appeared to excite little interest. The duty on Barley and Indian Corn is raised to Gs. 4d., reduced on Oats to Gs. 3d., on Beans to 3s. Gd., on Pease to 6s. 6d. per quarter ; and remains the same as last week on Wheat, Rye, and Flour. Having several country millers at our Corn Exchange to day, with some demand from local buyers and for Ireland, added to: a few sales on speculation, most kinds of Wheat were in good steady request on the full terms last noted, and the lower qualities of foreign, which had been unduly depressed before, commanded rather higher prices. Sack Flour appeared to meet little or no attention, but American, free, continued to move off readily to consumers, and superior brand were held at rather higher prices; and, although in bonded samples we had not much passing to-day, such were more diff►cult to purchase at 245. 6d. per barrel. Grinding Barley, upon a moderate demand, fully supported our last quotations. Malt, Beans and Pease, being in slow request, were the turn cheaper. Having little or no Indian Corn left on sale, and this arti cle being still wanted for Ireland, may be considered quite as high as last noted. Oats were nearly without inquiry, and rather depressed in value.—ln Oatmeal we babe no change to note.

The rogue was fined according to law." NAME. Passen- Cash. • , gers. pr.wlc.' p. day.' per day. -C. X. I X.

The father of I t L'Atac, in St. ited her husband ill-born, and the her husband had twenty-one children.—Guernsey Star. CURIOUS FACT.—At a recent meeting at the Royal Insti tution, London, Mr. Faraday directed attention to a shot which he had received from Woolwich. Experiment had shown, that, by filling 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 tilled with leaden bullets, round of course ; hut, after being fired, and the iron shell broken, it was seen that all the balls had coalesced, each sphere had become a polyhedron, and complete aggregation had ensu e d. This effect is, 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 death the family 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 or Doc.—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 Hawkshead, 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 Zedruth 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 know 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' Exetei- PROSPECTS OF GAME.—The prospects of a very large brood of moor game was never more 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 Dearden,Esq., of Rochdale, went in pursuit of seven of the railway men, who abused him in a shameful manner, and destroyed in his presence ]5 nests of grouse eggs. The keeper was glad to get off the moors with his life. BEDFORDSHIRE CIJCUMBERS.—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 Manahawk, 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 he 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 snuffed the secret, and hurried himself away.—New York paper. EPIDEMIC AMONGST CATTLE.—At the recent meetir b pr of the Royal Agricultural So c iety, D r . Whitl aw d ec l are d 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 all former attacks 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 r s - 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 was to found his reasonings. —Worces 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, occasioned 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 &years, while the hair, whiskers, voice, and physical lineainents, are those of a man of 30. THE NEW CONSERVATORY AT CIIATSWORTH.—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 au 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. EARTLIQUAKe.—A letterfrom 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 Wien 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-hous e 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. Awoman 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. He said that Captain Denham's report of the harbour works would ba 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 £130,0007 . 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, anda very handsome testimony to the zeal and ability of the secretary was given by Mr. Elwin.—Railway Magazine. 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 had 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.

(From the Circular of Messrs. Jermes Scott and Son.) Since Tuesday last the E;irivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, from Ireland, eoastways, and from foreign ports, have been to a moderate extent, and the continnancc 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 further decline of ad to 3d per 70th. 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 expected that.tliere will be an increase of 25 per qr. on Wheat, and I4id 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 past week at 24s 64 to 25s 64 per barrel, and of Oats, in bond, at 3s 8d to 3s 94 per 451 b •as a very fair demand for Wlicat, ecline above•quoted, and fur other day week.
