DEATH OF MR. W. J. Fox.—Our readers will
share our regret in learning the death, on Friday
Friday afternoon, cf Mr Wit Horn Johnson Fox, for many
years M.P. for Oldham. He died in his 78th year, after a
very short illness. Mr. Fox was born in Suffolk in the year
1786. His father, who was, in the first instance, a small
farmer, afterwards became a weaver at Norwich. In early
lite the lamented deceased enteted the Congregational
ministry, but afterwards became a Unitarian, which body
ho left, and for many years attracted enormous congrega"
tions to the chapel in South-place, Finsbury. He was one
of the ablest and most eloquent of the lecturers of the Anti"
Corn-Law League, a writer in the Westminster Review arid
various other publications. He was elected M.P. for Old-
ham in 1817, and this position he occupied, with the ex-
ception of two brief intervals, until the period of his retire-
ment from public life.—Dispatch.

MR. COBDEN ON THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S

---
COUNTY COURTS BILL —ln reply to a letterfroln the
Secretary of the Rochdale Tradesman's Association pressing
for a distinct explanation of ;his opinions upon the Lau
Chancellor's County Courts Act Amendment Bill, and
asking whether they might expect his support to the objet"
tions against the measure, Mr. Cobden has written the
following letter House of Commons, June 3.—Sir, "
In reply to your letter asking for a more specific expression
of my views respecting the County Courts Act Amendment
Bill, which bus been introduced into the House of Lords, I
beg to say I approve the principle of the measure, but Pre'
fer to postpone my judgment on i's details until it is intro'
duced into the Commons. IA this view I think the nc'ell;
dale Tradesmen's Association will agree wi.,11 me, when
remind them thit until a bill reaches the Lower Houste sv"
remain in ignorance of its provisions, as it is liable t°
alteration at every stage. Already the measure in quosti°ll
has undergone amendments, which are now being printed.
To-day a deputation of the Trades Protection Society has
had an interview with the Lord Chancellor to express their
concurrence in the principle of his bill, but to ask for sot°
amendments. He agrees, upon certain conditions, to
tend the limitation to which your body is opposed from
year to three, and ho promises to take other suggestrono
into consideration. I may add that on the subject of
prisonment the deputation requested that it might be r!
stiicted to one commitment. It you will allow me to realty
the suggestion, I recommend your association to lose ll°
time in petitioning the Lords fur such all.endments as Y°4
wish to have introduced into the bill, and to postpone a!1
action with the Commons until we know in what foam it
.
comes down to us. I can guarantee you ample time during
passage of the measure through the Commons for giving
full expression to your views by petition. I shall feel
obliged by your allowing this letter to be published in tilj
and 1 remain very truly yours, RicuARD CO BDEN. Jar°
Fletcher, Esq., Secretary, .Rochdale Tradesmen's Assccia
lion."

Ioci,•VEAR OF LORD PALMERSTON. —I remember an
,lent which occurred some years ago at the Bagni d
4-Alcoa. An English Stranger at one of the hotels, after
basinful of soap and water
~,)14 of the window just as the Grand Duke was passing,
'luging his Imperial Highness from head to foot. The
stranger hurried at once to the street, and, throwing him- before the dripping Sovereign, made the most humble
:t4fl apologetic excuses for his act; but the Grand Duke
k-'°l'N,l him sTlort at once, saying, " There, there I say no
ku°tl.! of it • don't mention the matter to any one, or I shall
T
t° cone to correspowlence with Palmerston, and be co •
in Pay a round sum to you for damages !"—Cornflcus
Blackwood' Magazine.

y
MARKET

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Indications of enaier feeling have been manifested
t°'dlY in discount circles. The transactions to-day
have been very moderate, and as money is now
being absorbed on account of the revenue payments
the quietude of business has occasioned some sur-
Prise among bankers and others. The rates are a
'ittift lower, but notwithstanding the concessions
discounters are willing to make the mercantile com-
onunity seem to be holding back their bills as much
as their current demands will permit.
A further sum of £12,000 in gold was taken into
the Bank on Saturday.
The Harriet Pinckney has arrived from Bermuda
With £70,000 in gold.
In the manufacturing districts dining the past
Week there has not been any great deal of anima-
!ion witnessed. At Manchester there was a decline
in the quotation of cotton, with a dull market for
cloths and yarn. Operations in woollen cloths at
Leeds and Huddersfield, and in worsted goods at
.4aiifax, have been carried on to a rather large ex-
?lit, but at Bradford little business was negotiated.
In the hardware districts also of Birmingham and
Slitffield, there was a slight falling off in the de-
uland both for country and foreign orders.
We see in our advertising columns the prospectus
of a new company, comprising the flourishing pro-
Perty known as " Princes Club," distinctive for
its English speciality and the high rank of its
moembers. This is a noticeable instance, though
of now daily occurrence, of ineividual enterprise
and ownership merging into the powerful principle
of optional participation and self-governance, and
telds to show the marked and yet growing favour
With which corporate associations are regarded by
even our very highest class.
