A BRILLIANT LIGHT AT HALF-PRICE!
London, England, 1847-01-05

In the table resuming this interesting inquiry, the
prices of home produce are estimated to have men,
I and those of manufactured goods, as well as of
I colonial produce, to have fallen proportionably.
M. lheterici finds this result of his labours in no
way to correspond to the dogmas of Malthus and
Ricardo; he ingenuously confesses that they show no
reason for enforcing a diminution of the population,
nor fur its abasement to a state of agrarian servitude.
The period surveyed by both authors has been one
during which war, from being a rule, has happily
grown to be an exception. The administration of justice
has been simplified and much accelerated. Roads have
been constructed through formerly impervious moue-
, tain tracks and over boundless heatha. A commence-
' ment has been made with steam navigation and railroads.
Above all, national education of a sound kind has
been established and widely diffused. It seems
natural to suppose that both the actual increase in
, the comforts of the people, and the augmented means
of meeting the growing consumption, have been as
much promoted by the improvements we have
named, as by the restrictions of the tariff of the
Zollverein. In this opinion the author of the pamphlet
named at the head of our article evidently coincides,
for he concludes with the warning, "May it not
escape the notice of those who are called upon to pro-
teet our trade and manufactures, and to adopt measures
retaliatimr on foreign countries, that, while we claim as
ourright full independence in legislating, we are bound
to acknowledge the same right as belonging to the
countries we have dealings with ; while the govern-
ment
can only with a bad grace and with little chance
of success demand facilities and concessions from
those whose trade it seeks on every occasion to restrict,
and ultimately to banish from our markets."

BOTLEY, JAN. 4. —The market here is usually fully
supplied with both fat and lean stock, principally to supply
the shippint contractors at Gosport, Portsmouth, Southamp-
ton, &c. To-day the Mersin. Warner had 110.11 e pens of tine
two and fur-'oath pure Downs, which sold readily at ss. 4d.
per stone of Alin. ; some other pens reached 61. Sescral mo-
derately fat Oxen and Cows were for sale, which made from
3s. 4d. to 4s. per stone. We &wrecd some good Lambe full
two mouths old, quite fat. There were several pens of lean
Sheep, si Lich were quickly disposed of. The lean llcifi rs
and Cows were not sold so briskly. Lean Hogs and Pigs
were in considerable quantities, the sale of winch appeared
better, though at a much less price than other stock. Fat
Itacon Hoes sold at 10s. to 10s. 6d. per score ; and small
Tooker', 10s. 6d. to 11$. 6d.

LANCASTER HORSE Snow.—This show commenced
Decembtr 29, and continued till the 2nd instant. It was
well supplied with Hones, which were not much in request,
and this caused a downward tendency is the priers, and
many of them wc•e forwarded to Preston, to be at the fair
which commenced yesterday, and which will be held the
whole of the week, for the sale of Horses.

NORWICH, JAN. 2.—Our market presented a tole-
rable show of store Cattle. Being sa F after Christmas,
little was done, but there is an appearance of store Cattle
I reviving as the spring advances. let Beasts a very large
show, more then equal to the demand, the buyers being
I cautious; nearly all the Beasta were marked unsold for Smith-
field. In Sheep or 'faggots little was done worth notice.
Good store Pigs a very dull sale at from 18.. to 20s. per
head. Fat Pork, 6s. Q. to Gs. 9d. per stone.
WOBURN CATTLE FAIL—The late great supply of
stock et the country lairs made the Cattle trade dull. Mach
Cows, for dairying, sold well; but fat cattle and store stock
remained on band, and the chief portion was turned out
unsold.

ESTERDAT.

BOW-STREET. A BEGGING-LETTER IMPOSTOR.—
J. W. Jones was charged with swindlmg Mr. J. W.
Cunningham, secretary to the King's College, Strand,
of 51. The prisoner is the same person respecting
whom the Lord Mayor received a communication, on
the 10th inst., from Mr. Hoyt], secretary to the United
Brethren called Moravians, at Brighton, detailing the suc-
cessful mode adopted to impose upon him and others, by re-
presenting that he (prisoner) was shipwrecked on his plumage
from St. Christopher's, in the West Indies, and that he was
entitled to a handsome property by the will of his late wife.
—Mr. Cunningham stated that about the middle of October
the prisoner came to him with a statement that he had just
been shipwrecked on his way front the Wait Indies, and that
all the property belonging to him which was saved was con-
veyed by a steamer to Southampton, where it was lying, in
consequence of the freight not being paid. He said that he
was the son of a merchant at St. Kitt's, and was well known
to witness's deceased brother, who had been governor of
that island. He also gave various information respecting
paeans residing there, all of whom were known to witness.
Upon these representations he gave him a cheque for 51. to
defray his expenses to Southampton ; but on the 26th of the
same month he received a letter from him, dated Southemp
ton. requesting the loan of a further sum to redeem his
I trunks, which had been sent down there from town, upon
which witness, suspecting a hoax, wrote to the agent of the
Steam-packet Company, at Southampton, and discovered,
I from the answer he received, that he had been grossly im-
posed upon.—Several begging-letters produced were found
in his pouession.—Mr. Jardine ordered him to be remanded.
MARYLEBONE. BURGLARY. —E. Shrimpton was
charged with having committed a robbery at the house
of ear. Flowers, 99, Westboorne-grove, Paddington.
About eleven months ago prosecutrix, who is landlady
of the Prince of Wales, Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, took
the house alluded to, intending to reside therein
es soon as she could dispose of her business. From
time to time she deposited In the various rooms a great
deal of furniture, wine, and other articles, all of which she
saw safe seven weeks ago, when she locked all the doom.
On Friday, the 10th inst., the prisoner was seen in the
Queen's-road, Bayswater, to put down a heavy box which
I he had been carrying, and to run off upon a police sergeant
approaching. The box was taken to the station-house,
where it was opened, and in it were found various articles
! which turned out to be Mrs. Flowers'. The house wu
found to have been broken open, and all the drawers, boxes,
&e., rifled of their contents : there was scarcely anything
remaining on the premises except very heavy goods.—The
prisoner asserted his innocence, and called several witnesses
I to prove an alibi, but their evidence was unsatisfactory.—
Mr. Broughton remar dad the prisoner.

with the proms' ions of the 11th rule, le upon the plaintiff
to show that the defendant had received the summons.—An
attorney. who appeared for the plaintiff, said the summons
had bola 144 with the porter at the club, who had given all

CBNTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
London, England, 1847-10-15

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Half--past One o' Clock.—The operations of this, the
pay-day, commenced with a further depression in the
funds, which may be taken as a further indication of
the difficulties besetting the settlement of the
gigantic account brought to a close yesterday. Consols
soon after the opening were called 801 to 1 only for
money, and 81,1 to for the account fixed for the 26th
of November, say 4 per cent. worse than the last prices
of yesterday ; but they rallied soon after to 82Z for
account, and 81 money. They are now in decline
again, at 801 to 1 money, and 81 to y for
account. The contango of ;1; per cent. for six
weeks at one time was deplorable evidence
both of the want of money and the want
of confidence. It is equal to 10 per cent. per annum.
From the actual quotations it is somewhat moderated,
but still remains about 8 per cent. So far we have
only two failures of dealers in the Stock Exchange to
report, but the parties were of inferior standing, and
the amount of their liabilities is therefore extremely
limited.
We have unfortunately to report a casualty of a
' more important kind in the mercantile world. The re-
epectable house of Messrs. Lawrsnce, Phillips, and
Sons, extensively engaged in general commerce, have
found it necessary to suspend their payments this
morning. The event is generally deplored, for the
parties were highly respected wherever known.
Two o'Clock.—Oar quotations remain without
alteration. Bank Stock, 178 to 182. Reduced Threes,
794 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 80.4 to Z.
Exchequer Bills, 255. to 15s. discount.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EYENING, OCTOBER-15, 1847.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

MUSIC AND DANCING Licansge.—This being the day
appointed for the renewal and granting of licenses for music
and dancing (as provided by the act 25 Geo. 11., c. 36),
there was an unusually full attendance of magistrates in
court. There were 60 applications for renewals, the msjor
part of which were granted without any opposition being
offered. Amongst the applications granted were those of
the proprietors of the following places Music Hall,
Store-street ; the White Conduit House; the Eagle Tavern,
City-road; Lord's Cricket Ground; Exeter Hall, Strand
(proprietors Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., H. Pownall, Esq.,
chairman of this court, and Archdall Palmer, Esq.) ; the
Assembly House, Kentish Town; National Bathe, 218,
High Holborn; the Princess's Concert Rooms, Caatle-street,
Oxford-street; Cremorne Gardens; the Honorer-square
Rooms; the Brecknock Arms Tavern; and Lard Dover's
Hotel and Swan Tavern, Hungerford. The others were
of minor note. On the name of John Braham being called, to
whom a licease was last year grantedfor the Prince's Theatre,
there was no answer, and the license was suspended.
There were 12 fresh applications, of which 11 were refused;
and amongst them were the Hall of Rome; the Colosseum,
Regent's-park ; and the York and Albany. The committee
of the Beaumont Literary and Philosophical Institution,
Beaumont. square, applied, but their license was refused, on,
the ground that the notice of application had not been
served the full period. No answer was given when the
names of Gomersall and Bennet were called, as the holders
last year of a license for the Garrick Theatre. When
Lord's Cricket Ground, and the Grapes Tavern, Compton-
street, Soho, were before the notice of the court, some com-
plaints were made that the noise proceeding from each of
those places was an annoyance to the religions establish-
ments to which they were contiguous. In each case, how-
ever, the charge was denied, and the licenses were granted,
with a caution as to the manner in which the With
were con-
ducted during acrvice hours and burials. With reference
to the Hall of Rome, the applicant, John Dubourg,
stated in his petition that he intended to open the hall
for the exhibition of mechanical figures, but he considered,
withal, that a license for music and dancing would be a pub-
lic accommodation. The petition bore 51 signatures. The
application was opposed by Mr. Clarkson on behalf of the
rector, two curates, four overseers, and the trustees of the
schools attached to the Bavarian chapel. The chief point of
the opposition was that if music and dancing were carried on
in an establishment situated so near to their schools, the
effect would be that the female pupils would become demo-
ralised. The case was warmly adrocatml pro and con, the
mutt being as before mentioned—the refusal of the license.

THE PETERBOROUGH FARMERS' CLUB.

TO TUE DOITOK Or THE .EXPREAS.*

Sir,—At a meeting of the Peterborough Farmers' Club,
held on Saturday last, the subject for discussion being " Why
has not agriculture made the same progress so commerce and
manufactures, and what are the great impediments which
still remain to practical sericulture ?" the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
"That the non advancement of agriculture, in pro tion
to that of commerce and manufactures, is attributabl.garin a
great measure to the inefficient security given to capital em-
ployed in the improvement of the land. And that, ere the acres
of England con meet the demands of the population, iu main-
li taining the whole and employing the greater portion of it,
the alined restrictions as to cropping (imposed too frequently
by unpractical land-agents), with the unjustifiable prejudices
to the ploughing of inferior grass-land, must not only be re-
laxed but abolishid, and a reasonable and equitable security
given to the prof er employment of capital in the cultivation
and improvement of the soil."— Yours, &c.,

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.—We (the Drddin Erenin.
Pod) deeply grieve to state that further accounts of insub-
ordination have been received since our last, and from dis-
tricts heretofore comparatively free from agrarian crime.
We have repeatedly stated it u our opinion that the parties
engaged in the perpetration of the frightful outrages that
disgrace the country are, in almost all cases, idle vagabonds,
altogether regardless of the sufferings of the poor, bat who
take advantage of the prevailing destitution to organise
, secret confederacies. Up to this time we have not heard of
a single cue where persona really distressed have been con-
cerned in this system of atrocious crime. Some of the beet
landlords in the country have become obnoxious to those
miscreants, and threatening notices have been served upon
them.

REGULATIONS OF THE NEW POOR LAW

COMMISSIONERS.
Voluminous instructions have been lotted to the
various parishes and unions.
The election of guardians is in future to take place between
the 15th and 26th of March, and the polling papers are to
commence being cast up on the 9th of April and succeeding
days, while the first meeting is not to take place until after
the 15th of April. In ail cues where the permanent
pauper obtains medical relief, the guardians shall ones et
least in every year cause to be prepared by the clerk or re-
lieving officer a list of all such aged and infirm persons and
person' permanently sick or disabled as may be actually
receiving relief, and such list to be furnished from time to
time to each district medical officer. The clerk is twice a
year—namely, four weeks at least before the 25th of Murk
and the 29th of September respectively in each year, to
ascertain the costof the relief of the poor, for the parpose of
laying before the overseers the amount of money that will
be required for the relief and maintenance of the poor.
With respect to the admission of paupers into the work-
house, he shall, as soon as he is admitted, be placed in the
reception-room and examined by the medical officers. If
ill or diseased in mind to be plactd in the sick ward. While,
if free from any disease, he shall be placed in the part of the
workhouse assigned to the class to which he may belong. On
the pauper's admission he is to be searched, and all articles
prohibited by any act of parliament or by this order, which
may be found on his person, shall be taken from him and,
so far as may be proper, restored to Unfit his departure from
the workhouse.
The paupers, as far u the workhouse admits, are to be

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Clock.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ripon, which, in ordinary course, should have
arrived some days since, only reached the Mother-
bank this morning, at three o clock. She brings the
Southampton portion of the India mail before the
last. The Tiber, with the Peninsular mail, which
was due on the 25th ult., has not been heard of; so that
it is presumed she has met with some accident, or she
may possibly have been detained at Oporto, for the pro-
tection of British interests. This is not improbable,
as the Ripon reports having heard a heavy cannonade
in the direction of that city on the Ist instant. The
Medway, with the Mexican and West India mail, is
hourly looked for. The 'Ripon reports having seen
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Oriental, running to the S.E. at 5.30 p.m., on the li
26th ult., Cape St. Vincent, W.N.W., 114 miles;
also, that the same company's steamer Pekin left
Gibraltar on the 24th ult., :but put into Algeziras
Roads in the evening, and next morning proceeded on
her voyage to the Cape of Good Hope and the East
Indi.

We understand that an arrival at Liverpool has
brought letters from Vigo to the 19th ult., which
mention a: report current in that port, to the effect
that %a Antas bad obtained an important success
W the Queen's forces under Canal.

Such is the scandal, says the Gazette de Cologne,
which the conduct er the follies of King Louis has
provoked in all Bavaria, with regard to Lola Monte*,
the celebrated Spanish darkstuse, that they speak
openly at Munich of forcing him to abdicate, or re-
sign power to the Prince Royal, who should be
appointed regent.
The King of Prussia, according to the same autho-
rity, has advanced the sum necessary to meet its en-
gagements to one of the chief houses of Breslau,
which had been compelled to suspend payments on
account of the Cracow affair. The monarch is, more-
over, said to have placed considerable same at the dis-
posal of 'the president of the province of Silesia, in
order to e prevent, as much as possible, misfortunes of
the sam kind.

ETON MONTEIL—The Provost and Head Mutter of
Eton feel it incumbent upon' them to apprise Etonian.,
and those interested in the welfare of Eton, than
the abolition of Mostem has been erroneously re-
presented to be Mill an open question. That =nom
was abolished in January last, by the provost of Eton,
in entire toneurrenee with the head master, when her Ma-
tlY the Queen had graciously left to their sole responsibi-
tha decision of a question upon which they had fully
made up their minds, after the strongest conviction that
the evils attendant upon Montem wers_irremediable, and
mach too serious to admit of a continuance of that customs.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.

We understand that the inspection of this noble
ship has been brought to a close, and that all the
scientific men who have been engaged ia the examina-
tion agree in the opinion that she is quite sound, and
free from all material damage in her hull. She is still on the
Prince's Dock-gridiron • but owing to the application made
on Thursday last to the dock committee, and the disposition
evinced by that body to accommodate any other large
steamer which might require to be repaired on the
gridiron, the company are at present only proceeding
with such necessary repairs, at her bottom, r
enable them to float her any moment. We (Liver-
pool Journal) visited her yesterday, and found, as we
anticipated, that her bottom was but slightly injured, the
only dings of any consequence being one of about ten feet
long, right under her bilge, amid ships. The men on board
my that this was caused by the working of the vessel during
the heavy gales which she encountered in November last.
This, however, will be easily repaired, and, with the excep.
dr of some few holes and loose rivets, is the only damage
demo to leer bottom—a fact which, considering the exposed
, Maiden in which she was stranded, reflects the utmost
credit on all the hands connected with her.

The upper works and cabins of this noble specimen of
naval are.Wtecture, u may be anticipated, are much in-
jured; as is the stern, outside stern post, and all the after
end of the vessel, which was more particularly exposed to
the roll of the sea, as she lay ashore in Dtutdrum. As yet
nothing positive is known as to the intentions of the pro-
prietors with respect to her further and final repairs. In the
opinion of many the great difficulty will be the engine ; for it
is well known that it has never et fairly answered the ex-
pectations of its constructors. We may, however, state, en
ZsTthat it has bun most minutely inspected, and it
ai posemamool to be quite u good as it ever was.
Mat of tsar readies aro swan that it woe built to work
1000-hares power ; but the general inaproolan is, that
even with the improved boars, mobil led summer, it
never worked more than MO-horse power, sun at its best
speed. In addition to this drawback, the indisputable in-
efficiency of the chain belt, by which the screw was worked,
must itself lead to serious alterations in the engine, if it
should again be placed in her. It was a notorious fact, •to
all who ever crossed the Atlantic in her, that she had to be
stopped nearly every day, in order to adjust this complicated
chain. In fact, we believe, if she had returned safely from
her last trip, that two new cog wheels would have been !sub-
stituted for it, by which it was anticipated that the screw
could be more effectively worked. Speculation is busy re-
lative to her future destination, and the trade she is to be
put into, but as no authentic information has been obtained
on this point, we refrain from giving rumours.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 6.
Wexford harbour has been long in want of im-
provement No harbour on the eastern shores could
surpass it in profitable commerce were it made com-
monly Rafe and accessible. Its bar has transferred
the entire trade to Waterford ; bat with the South
Wales line to Fishguard, and the "three W's,"
when it is completed, a new existence will be opened
up to Wexford. All, however, must begin with the
port, and no time should be lost. Dredging machines
have been for some time ordered at the Neath Abbey
iron-works, and one is about to be immediately
launched, with which the commissioners will at once
commence the work of improvement Another will
follow in a short time.

The Sligo Champion, in its fit of fisticuffs with the
honourable member for the borough, charges him
with all sorts of causes and consequences; among
others, the total dissolution of society in that ancient
town. Robberies, it is said, are nightly committed,
and assaults are things quite of course. With more
particularity it states, that " on Saturday night last "
two men were forced to " death's door,"—rather an
awkward neighbourhood—by " a party of Ribbon-
men!" I never heard of any distinctive badges to
mark the exclusive outward bearing of the Ribbon-
man,
so that it is likely the informant of the Chan.-
pion thrust in the first and hardest word he could find
to designate one of the friends of Mr. Somers.

THE REPEAL AASOCIATION.—The usual weekly meeting
of this body was held to-day at Coociliation-halL Mr. John
Reynolds, M.P., presided. The proceedings were of • very
ordinary character. The Right RPT. Dr. Keating, R. C.
Bishop of Ferns, transmitted 28!., the subscriptions of the
same number of his clergy, in addition to 211. sent from other
members of the same body a few weeks since. The repeal
rent for the week amounted to over 701.

AUSTRALIA.

We have recervedjuunta;froni this eolony to the
litth of July. The first session of the legislative council since
the arrival of the new governor met on the 3rd of June.
There was little of especial mark in his excellency's inaugu-
ral address. ilk assertion that a majority of the settlers
were opposed to the introductica of convicts alone appears to
have given rise to discussion. Little confidence is reposed
by the colonists in the body, which is composed of five official
and three unofficial members, the latter not being elective.
It so happened that during the previous erasion there was
only one unofficial member. On the 10th of June the
Advocate-General gave notice of a motion for a c ,mmittee
to inquire and report on what steps can be taken to induce
and facilitate the immigration of Germans. If pervenament
will do nothing to facilitate the immigration of Englishmen
we can conceive the colonists looking out for German la-
bourers rather than want: but such a step on the part of go-
vernment is wanton mockery of our own unemployed
labourers.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, DEC. 17.
Many northerns are eyeing the progress of the
Hampden controversy with grim interest. It has
several features in common with our own recent non-
intrusion agitation. The Queen recommendi•lg a
given party to be elected to the vacant diocese by
the clergy, is very much like a patron in the scotch
church presenting a party to a benefice, one technical
title to which was supposed to consist in the call of
the people. As the Free Church party found no
favour at the hands of the state when they preferred
I their claims for spiritual independence, they are
pleased to find that Lord John Russell is acting with
even-handed justice in meting out to the bishops
the same treatment that was administered to the
Presbyterian judicatories. The adherents of the
established church again dislike all coercion used to-
wards the Anglican church, because being allied to
the state, it is showing indignity to the order, but as
prelacy always regards presbytery as occupying a
lower platform, there is little sincere sympathy.

SEVER PRISONERS ESCAPED from Huntingdon-gaol
on Wednesday night. It appears that they bad been con-
fined in the trial ward, and, on Mr. Smith, the governor,
going round the gaol, to his no small amaz,ment he disco-
vered that the whole seven were gone. Upon making an
examinatioa it was ascertained that the several locks had
been forcibly opened, the straw beds bad been emptied on
the fl or, and the ticks converted into portable ladders, by
the means of which the parties succeeded in scaling the
boundary wall. To accomplish their object they had in the
first instance broken an iron bar, nearly two inches thick
and ten feet long.

commodation is charged higher, so also the values of
all public and railway securities decline. This is the
case in all the great money markets of the Continent;
Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfort, Berlin, and Hamburg
are all the same in these respects. The rates of money
are on the ascending, the values of public and rail-
elay securities on the descending, stale. The
•
result should be that capital to a certain extent would
be withdrawr. from this country for more advantage-
ous employment abroad, but that the higher values of
money here still, as measured by the Bank rate, are
the impediment. Lower the Bank rate the money
goes out. Should the nitre of money abroad come to'
exceed the B ink rate, metallic money must flow out.
But so long as the Bank rate remains as at present,
and the value of money abroad does not exceed mate-
rially its present charge, capital can only be exported
in specie by paying a dear price for it at the Bank.

concluded on Saturday. The charge against the accused was
that of perjury, committed in giving his evidence on the trial
of his friend, Id.d'Ecquevilley, for a like offence, of whicb.the
latter was then found guilty. M. Beauvallon has also been
convicted of perjury with extenuating circumstances. He
has been sentenced to 8 years' imprisonment.
BELGIUM.—BRUSSELS, OCT. 9.—The Indren-

SENEGAL.—The latest arrivals bring melancholy
intelligence from Senegal, over which important colony an
epidemic has lately passed. The governor, lieutenant-
governor, and the chief judge have all fallen victims to the
fever within a few days of each other. Count Itoudet Gram-
mont, naval captain. and governor of the colony, was an
officer of considerable runt, and devoted to his duties of
administrator. He was seized with the fever while making
an official circuit at Galan, and died in three days. Lieut.-
Col. Caille, lieutenant-governor, was a veteran officer, long
since inured to a climate by which be has hitherto been
unharmed. He was specially charged with the affairs of
the interior, and his death is a great loss to the colony. M.
Bertin de Chateau, chief of the Marines, as the officer of '
the highest rank, assumes the government of the colony.
M. Larcher, H. de Persia, procureur du roi, now elevated
to the chief judgeship, and M. de Rutty Belles, were all
attacked by the fever, but escaped. The visit of this fever
to the colony need cause no further apprehension, it having
now quitted Senegal. The deaths of MM, de Grammont
and Caille were owing to the journey they made up the
river, in defiance of all clietates of prudence, at the moat
dangerous part of the season.

THE CABINET COUNCIL.

-•------
In compliance with the summons issued the week
before last, for a Cabinet Council at the Foreign-office this
afternoon, at two o'clock, the several Cabinet Ministers I
began to assemble shortly before the appointed hour.—Lord
John Russell and Viscount Palmerston came to town soon
after one o'clock, from Windsor Castle, where their lordships ,
had been visiting the Queen.—The Marquis of Lansdowne, I
the Lord President of the Council, also came to London 1
from Bowood.park, Wilts.—The Lord Chancellor arrived
to attend the meeting of his colleagues, from Copse-hill.
The following are the members of the Cabinet present on
the occasion:—Lord John Russell, First Lord of the Tree-
Bury; the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord President; the Lord
Chancellor ; the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer ; Earl Grey, Secretary for the Colonies ; Via
count Palmerston, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs ;
the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Secretary for
the Home Department ; the Earl of Auckland, First Lord
of the Admiralty ; the Marquis of Clanricarde, Postmaster-
General; the Right Hon. Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Presi-
dent of the Board of Control • the Right Hon. Henry
Libouchere, President of the Beard of Trade ; Viscount
Morpeth, Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests ; and
the Right Hon. Thos. B. Macaulay, Paymaster of the
Forces.
The ministers remained in deliberation up to the hour when
we were compelled to go to press. It was the first Cabinet
Council since the dissolution of parliament, and, as all the
ministers have made arrangementa to remain some five or
six weeks in town, it is generally thought that there will be
a succession of councils this month.

THE OLDHAM BANKING COMPANY lB understood to
have made a proposal for winding up its affairs, on Saturday,
to one of the larger concerns in the neighbourhood ; and yes-
terday, at Manchester, the news was current that it had
stopped p►yment. The statement did not create much sen-
sation, it being known to base done but a limited business.
The company was formed in 1836, when there were about
60 partners ; but, according to the return, published in Feb.
last, the list contained but 33 names. The bank had no
branches, and the capital is said not to base exceeded 20,0001.
The immediate cause of stoppage is understood to have been
that they held bills to some considerable amount of De
Jersey and Co.'s upon John Thomas, son, and Lettere.
From the number and respectability of the partners it is con-
jectured that the public will leso nothing by the stoppage,

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—
As one of the porters attached to the Reading station was ow
Friday crossing the line with a box heavily laden on his
back, he observed a train coming up, which be endeavoured
to escape, by passing, as he imagined, to the line different
from the one the train was traversing; but, instead of so
doing, be took the line on which the train was, and was
struck, it is supposed, by the buffer of the engine, which
came in contact with the box he was carrying. The box was
driven forward upwards of thirty yards, and the train passed
over both his legs. The unfortunate man was carried to the
Reading Infirmary, where it wan found necessary to ampu-
tate both his feet above the ankles. Although he is in a very
precarious state, hopes are entertained of his recovery.
