BLESSING OF THE BREAD TAX I—The price
of wheat advances in the London markets, and all hopes
of abundant crops arc relinquished. The weather hay
been very variable, and in several parts of the country much
injury has been done to the corn. The most unfavourable
accounts come from Ireland. Any deficiency in England
will not be compensated by excess in Ireland. More im.
portations of wheat from abroad there must be; for it
gold will be paid, and so the pressure on the money-mar.
ket—which means, pressure on every description of
business, with a slack demand and low prices for everythine
but corn—will continue. The chief consolation is, that
the real cause of this difficulty and distress, the restrictions
on the trade in wheat, must force itself upon the minds of
men, and necessity may compel them to act on their convic-
tion.—Hull Advertiser.

SCANDALOUS FRAUDS ON ELECTORS.—We
have to notice, amongst the incidents of the election just
concluded, a series of frauds, practised, or attempted to be
practised, by means of forged letters, upon different indivi-
duals who were known to be friendly to the election of
Mr. Greg, with the view of causing their absence from
Manchester yesterday, and consequently of preventing them
from giving their votes. An accountant was summoned
to Leeds on business connected with a bankruptcy. On his
arrival in that town he was speedily informed that the letter
which he had received was a forgery ; and he then, for
the first time, suspected what was evidently the fact,
that the whole was a base and fraudulent scheme for de-
priving him of his vote, and, at the same time, picking
his pocket of the money which a fruitless journey to
Leeds must necessarily cost him. But this case, though
the only successful one that we have heard of, was by no
means the worst in conception and design. In another
case an attempt was made to induce two brothers resident
here to set out to a distant town, under pretence that their
brother had been seized with mortal disease, and was then
upon his death-bed! Fortunately, in this, as well as in
two other cases of a similar kind, owing to purely acci-
dental circumstances, the fraud was suspected, and the
suspicion caused inquiries, which, leading to the disco-
very that letters of a similar character had been received
by other parties, prevented the individuals addressed from
falling into the snare which had been set for them.—
Manchester Guardian. .

The Liberal du Nord announces, that in con-
sequence of the reduction of the import duty on
colonial sugar, the beet-root sugar manufactories
of Douai resolved, on the third inst., to refuse payment of
taxes—a resolution which is now general throughout the
departments of the north, and of the Pas en Calais.
The committee of the Protestant Association
have determined to Address the Queen on the appointment
of Mr. Wyse, Mr. Shiel, and Mr. O'Ferral; and likewise
to issue an address to the public, urgently recommending
similar demonstrations of Protestant feeling to be adopted
in every part of the aountry.—Standard.
• BANQUET IN THE THAMES TUNNEL.—On
Saturday afternoon the Directors of the Thames Tunnel
Company gave an elegant dinner in the Tunnel to the
persons employed in that undertaking, to celebrate their
having reached low water-mark. Mr. Hawes, M.P., was
in the chair, and 280 persons sat down to table. On a
raised platform about 600 visitors—the majority of whom
wPre ladies—were provided with places, to view the grati-
fyilg scene.
" An English sailor," says an Alexandria letter
of the 16th ult., in the Reparaleur de Lyon, " was ill-
treated a few days since, and wounded by a Turkish sailor.
The British Consul and the captain of the ship to which
the man belonged went immediately to the Pacha, and re-
quired that the culprit should be punished. He was
directly taken and subjected to the bastinado ; but the
English sailor having afterwards died of his wounds, the
Turk was tried, condemned, and hung."
