the air. lot, however, a kind of motion
that is by any means to be desired at sea. But
we suppose that her being light will in a great
measure account for it. When . she is heavy
laden, and all right for an Atlantic voyage, it
will probably be very different.
They have already begun to recover some of
the gold with which the Royal Charter Was
freighted. A bar has been discovered in the
wreck, and the remainder is supposed to be some-
where in the same situation. This is very en-
couraging for 'the efforts that are about to be made
to recover the treasure, and will, no doubt, stimu-
late to extraordinary exertions. We publish to-
day a further report of the coroner's inquest at
Moelfra, the proceedings at which, however; have
not thrown much more light upon the dreadful
catastrophe of a. wreck which will stand out with
such painful prominency among the public cala-
mities of the year that is now so rapidly drawing
to a close.

A trade outrage of an alarming and dangerous,
as well as most dastardly character, was perpe-
trated on Friday morning, at the house of Mr.
James Wilson, saw manufacturer, Sheffield. A
tin pot or can, filled with gunpowder or some
other explosive matter, had been introduced into
Mr. Wilson's cellar and fired off. The lid having
been well secured, in order to give greater force
to the expansive power of the material, a fusee
was placed in the lid, which, being. ignited, the
explosion took place about six o'clock in the
morning, doing great damage to the premises;
but, fortunately, not injuring any of the inmates.
That it was a "trade outrage " is rendered indis-
putable, from the circumstance that some weeks
previous Mr. Wilson received a threatening letter
in consequence of his employing men who are
not members of the " Trade Union."

At the monthly meeting of the Birmingham
Landlords' As lociation' held on Thursday night,
a communication from Mr. John Bright was read.
It professed to be an answer to a request that he
would assist in the agitation made in that town
for the abolition of the Income Tax. The oppor-
tunity was seized on by Mr. Bright for repeating
his often-stated assertion, that the governing
classes of this country, particularly the landed
interest, impose heavy taxes on the working classes
from which the land and its owners are carefully
protected through corrupt influences at elections.
His panacea for this evil is, as he phrases it, to
be found only in "a change in the authority by
which taxes are levied and the public funds ex-
pended." Of course, according to his view, this
change means the extension of the franchise to
the design he has propounded various modifica-
tions of. A cure which the general voice of the
country has condemned as worse th&.n the evil
which he seeks to remedy, and the sophistry and
truthlessness of the theory on which it is based,
have been so often demonstrated, as hardly to
leave room for further exposure.
Saturday was a great day at Southampton.
On that day the Mayor, the Aldermen, and the
other members of the Town Council, in their robes
of office, went on board the Great Eastern, and
presented an address to the Directors of the great
ship. An immense interest has been created in
Southampton and its neighbourhood by the actual
presence of the "leviathan," which, has already
been visited and inspected by great numbers of
people from the town and surrounding districts.

Now that our local elections are decided, and the

contending parties are lingering over the memo-
ries of the sl rife and the broad fact of the results,
with what gratulations, or with what condole-

ments they may, it is still opportune to suggest
a few lessons for future guidance as well as
present warning. Neither hare we yet done
with elections for the present year. This week
will be marked by a highly important contest.

for which last week's was the preparation ; nay,
if we are to judge from the earnest exhortations
of our Likral contemporaries, from the prospect
of which it derived its own importance. The
whole Radical artillery was brought out in most
