TIIE PEACE CONGRESS.

A large and regret ibett meeting wan held in tke
Shire Hall of Aylesbury, Bucks, on Fnellay evening last, f r
the parries of ratifying the proceedings of the lota Pate
C.nsteei at Paris. John Lee, Esq., L.L.D., F R.B , one
of the cum magistrates, and delegate to the Congress
from the "Peace of Nations Society," was called to the
chair, and opened the meetirl with a brief sketch of the
history ot the peso, movement, and en introduction to the
audience of the following members of the Centres., each of
whom delivered • short address: hotfoot. Amass Wslker,
Rev. Joseph Alleq, D.D. ; Mr. William Wells Brown
(f rosily a slave); and Mr. Henry Clapp, Jun., of the
kini•ed States ; M. Brant lessen, of Frsnee ;
blows Jam Hamilton and C. J. Shaw, of Ayleir
bury ; and Messes. W. Johns a and James Marsh ot
There. Mr. John Wilson, delegate from Aylesbury;
and Mr. Allert Brown, del. gate from the 'Ceded States, were
Ow on the platform, in company with many Lilies and gen-
tlemen ot the town and vicinity.
Resolivions were unactimoudy posed, in appr3val of
the anti-oar principle, and remesiaeadlog the establishment
ot annual congresses of peace fro. this time "till the sword
shall be beaten into the plosgbatan." The meeting ado
penned about IS o'clock, alter an eloquent and impressive ad-
orer fen* the chairman ,who then invited the Amen an &pu-
tt-see his splendid mans.on, when they were entertained with
distinguished hoepttelitr. Hartwell-beam, the mansion just
allude,* to, is in the parish of Hartwell, shoat two miles
from Aylesbury, and is celebrated as having been formerly
occupied by the Hampden family (with which the Lees were
united by marriage); sad as having been the abode of
Lows XVI!' , e.uring fire yeln of his exile from France—
from 1607 to 1814. The house and grounds were of great
iatereet to the American gentlemen, not only from their
Metric association and their intrinsic beauty, bat se afford.
lag a good Idea of a " fine old English" residence, " all ot
the olden time." In honour of the occasion under notice,
Dr. Lee had disple)sel fr ins his lutist-top Britian, French,
American, end Swedish Sure, all waving together, as a type
end prophesy of the " good time coming."

A MAN STABBED WITH RED-HOT IHOXB.—Yes-
heyday atterooya, at Ardsiek, a blacksmith named Thomas
Richardson, a4ed about 40 year., was stabbed twice through
the groin with • red-hot iron, as es to muse his death almost
immediately, by John Lee, another blacksmith, residing at
Chorlton•can Matlock. o.t miteiving Womack., a pollee-
, mut hai•seed to the spot, and net John Lee, who es seeing
his eried the wan that bag dose It," sad at
once surrendered himself tan custody. Two us,
Ere-s. Birk; and C. J. Rix, ales arrived, and to
bind up the poor follow's wound., bat notwithatentliag all
the assistance rendered Ida, he died in about half an hour.
Is seems UPC, being in liquor, he bed visited Les whilst at
work, and behaved kinsesUin a very troublesome way, whoa
LIM became exasperated and turned hiss out of the smithy.
Ifs repeated his however, tete, agate, and each tints
was turned out aid told to go home • but about Ler o'clock
again presented himself, still worse Intesteited. Just then
Lee was about to weld the hos rod of a pump socket, which
he bid gut red hot, or were correctly speaking, to " a whits
heat," when Doing all control over himselc and aggravated
by the man he rushed at him with one of the heated 1/011.11
is each hand, and stabbed him twice in the groin. Entering
the lek side of the groin, one of the irons went right
through the poor fellow and came out at the haw el his hip,
and the other jenetrated the right thigh, creating A fright-
ful wound. The unfortunate man hes been removed to the
George and Dragon, where hie remain. now await the

With regard to imports the retire eztibi s an amount of
agricultural produce introduced, which is greatly in excise of
the year last past. Altogether this year 2,516,722 quavery of
wheat have been brought in again 4 788.908 quarts. ain 18411.

'WRIGHT'S STEAM GENERATOR.—Some experi-
meets were exhibited on Saturday last, at the patentog's fac-
tory, Suffolk-street, Borough, to prove the evap rating
powers of the above-named engine. The principle is not
new; the great evaporating power to be obtained by water
in iron tubes, and then passing these latter through a fur.
nice, having been mentioned lung since by Count Rumford,
and other scientific pinups. But difll. uleies, till now insu-
perable, arose from the •-hape of the tube (an encress spiral),
the numher of joints rendering accidents of frequent oecu-
ream. To /obtain the greater evaporating pow-r, and at
the same time ensure safe and regular working, Mr. Wright
has constructed a sort of framework, or grating, cast in one
piers of what is called mall' .blc cast iron (a new preparation
of the metal), and tubular throughout its entire extent. One
of these grstings is placed over the fire and under the boiler,
and two others within, and they communicate with each
o.lier b means of short connecting tube". These frames,
or "cellular 'week," u they are termed, bring filled
with water, an immense amount of heat Is abet Thad and
tt rown off into the boiler by means of the roonecting tubes,
and the evaporating power propirtionsbly in d Wdh
out entering into scientific details, the object of the fay ration
may be undentool to be economy of heat. The insult d
water in the tubes having no eerees for ev.poratim, rimy b.,
raised to 400 or 500 degrees of Fahrenhi it ; and this Pacers of
heat is communicated to the water in the boiler in deli: ion to
what it obtains from the direct action of the fire underneath.
Anther advantage proposed by the inventor is greater pro-
tection for the bottoms of boilers. He calculates that so
much c f the heat of the fire beicg absorbed by the tubes,
there will be much lees destructive action on the bottoms of
the boilers. The experiments made on Sotarday went to
show that 121 be. and upwards of water may be evaporated
with 11b. of coal, while by the ordinary promos only 131 he.
can be evaporated with the same qaantity of fuel. Such •
result is no doubt highly sttisfactory, and if it can be ob
mined under all circumstances, and without any 'tricots
drawback, will make the invention one of high importance,
paricalarly ILI regards marine engines, where economy of
stowage is the great desideratum. But experiments made
under the most favourable circumstances cannot be taken as
conclusive, for there must be some doubts whether any pre-
paration of iron can be made so strong as to ensure alas lute
impossibility of bursting in tubes fined with fluid heated to
so extraordinary an extent. On this doubt being seargerei
to the gentleman who explained the invention, he d dared
that the great malleability of the metal, and the presence of
• safety valve which he pointed out, would be sufficient
securities against accident.

is a unit abundant ear—oertainly over an average, good in
quality, and large in quantity. The greatest part of tee bar.
ley has boss cut, and a large portion well bound together,

oat crop is partially affected with the rust, but I believe not
to a very great extent. The turnip crop is looking well.
We are still visi.ed with the disease In the potatoes, but by
no means to the extent of the last two or three years. I
think about one-third may be affected. but the remaining
two-thirds I believe to be of very good quality and flavour.

from Calcutta, of which he was the commander. The aurae-
tenet* gentleman saw an account of the murder in a news-
paper a: St. Helena, on the 11th of July. On landing he
was conveyed to his house, in Leveson-street, where the
dreadful crimes were perpetrated. The murderer Wilson,
will be executed on Saturday nest, at noon.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT PENTDARRAN.—On Saturday
the Bth ins' ant, a most fatal and melancholy seetdent oc-
caned at the Lodge PO, near Penydaston Iron Works. The
pit le on the property of Mr. Alderman Thomp-on. On
Saturday as the men were at work a fall of rubbish took
plans in one of the headings by which two men were killed ;
the mem that fell was two or three tone in weight, and it
was only after a vast deal of labour, that the bodies were
extricated, they preemstad a meat fearful spectacle, literally
smashed to pieces, so much so that recognition was rendered
almost impassible. Tee boiies were @weird dewn through
the High-street, Merthyr, followed by about 200 or 300 men
most of whom had been working in the same pit, and
nearly all of them arried their lamps is their hands.

party was loom reed in the water. The people on board the
barge succeeded in rescuing Mr. Brides and one of the fe-
male.; yorvg Lsidlaw saved himself by clinging to the
mooring-chain ; u.i fortunately, the bride, and Mary Ashdown,
one of the bridsrm,i-ls, sank and were drowned. Drags
were used, but the bodies wt re not recovered for some boars.
DESTRUCTION OF FARM PROPERTY ET FIRE.—
About one o'dtck yesterday a firs broke out on Worthen
Farm, the (roperty of Mr. John Panic, within two miles two
of Peterborough, whereby eleven corn stacks (wheat and
oats). with the lab.ur• ea cottage and two hay stacks, were
entirely consumed. From the part where the firs com-
menced there appears no ellubt but it was set on fire
by someone. Mr. Yank is a men greatly respected, and, be-

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY EVII4IIIO.

The bona fide transactions in the English funds to-
day were, u they latterly have been, of small im-
port, and the slight decline which the home funds un-
derwent is generally accounted for by the arrange-
ments which have already commenced f,r the settle-
ment on Tuesday. Judging, then, from the effect
upon the market, the accnant must evidently be far
more "bullish " than was generally expected only a
few days ago. Console opened at 927 to 1 for money
and account, from which they declined in the curse
of the morning to 92/ to 1, and were so quoted at the
clue, bolt for money and the 11th inst. The
Three per Cents. Reduced were done at 921
1, and List at 921. The Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. were first marked 94, from which
they gave way and fell to 931 3, bat towards the
afternoon they rallied and were last again done
at 94.
Exchequer Bills have continued without alteration
during the week ; thy were again done at 395. and
142 e. premium. Bank Stock maintained 200. India
Bonds, 73.. premium.
The foreign market was altogether a dead letter
only three trat.sictions were noted. Mexican ex
cospore at 273 and I. Peruvian Bonds, 1849, at
641. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 641,
excharge 12 guilders.
The money market pursues an uninterrupted even
course, the events of the week presenting no feature
of novelty to vary the value of money or the rates of
discount, which continue the same as last week;
money, however, is rather more easily placed on call
at 2 per cent., and discount of first-rate paper has
become more steadily fixed at 21 to 3 per cent. The
approaching settlement in the English stock market,'
which tikes place on the 11th, may occasion a tem-
porary demand for money, and the lowest rate,
of " canter go " are already stated to be
3-16 to 3, with every prospect of even
higher rates for the continuation as the day ap-
roaches. Although the bullion in the Bank is only
' mewed this week by 16,3471., it is nevertheless an
increase, and it must not be overlooked that the total
increase of bullion during the last four weeks amounts
to 343,3934

The f llowing remarks, from the Economist of this
day, on the subject of railway shares, and their pre- ,
ern., probably ..• my temporary, depreciation in the I
market, appear a) very just and apposite, that we do
not hesitate to give them a place is our columns :
Tee railway market has been sinking all the week; bet it
began to improve towards the close of business to day. Con-
' fidence in the kind of property is very much diminished ;
but the shareholders are themeelves very much to blame for
this, se •hey very generally auctioned all the proposals at
former pertods for paying high and unwarrantable dividends,
and as generally discountenanced every person who pre-
sumed to question the accuracy of the most flourishing ac-
counts. No gentlemen have any right to expect dividends
on capital laid nut in architectural ornaments and em.
bellishmenta, any more than a nobleman or gentleman
has a right to look for an income from the splendid
peace he inhabits; and there is not one of the
companies which has not laid out a very considerable portion
of its capital on such unprofdahle work. To suppom that
goat mutest can protect property Irons depreciation, which is
misapplied, by appciating auditors sad getting a more cor-
rect account of what has been dons with the money—even
if that be the best means,is certainly the most unbutinees-
like supposition that we have heard of for a lorg time, and
yet that is baud an urgent recommendation to demand
the government the appointment of auditors to rail-
ways. That railways will be an enduring and valuable pro-
perty we have no doubt whatever, hat they are not like the
funds, of which the interest is guaranteed by the state: they
are oc.ive undertakirgs, of which the dividends depend on
the profits they mike, and the profits depend on the mode in
which the capital is laid out and the operation conducted.
To get good dividends, therefore, it is indispensable that the
shareholders I ok after the menegerneix of their owncapitel.
If the made ie which railway corapani • be constituted be
incompatible with that, large dividends, we are afraid, can
hardly he cap cted.
