EAST COWES.

Two cottages near Whippingham Church were destroyed
by fire between twelve and one o'clock yeSterday. It ap-
pears that a person who occupies one of them was in a loft
storing some apples, and had placed his candle in a net
hung to the roof, which it set fire to, and the whole was in
a few minutes in flames. The adjoining one was occu-
pied by Mr. Dashwood, sen., wheelwright, which met the
same fate. Nearly the whole of the furniture was de-
stroyed, as was all their wearing apparel. The stock was
saved by pulling down a building, and thus cutting off tie
communication with the workshop and builder's yard. We
hear Mr: D.'s houses and furniture were insured. It being
in .the middle of the (lay time, many of the workmen and
neighbours were on the spot ; but, unfortunately, when the
engine from Newport was brought, very little water could
be procured._

THAMES OFFICE.

Yesterday Robert Smith, a respectable-looking man, was
charged before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. BRODEHIP, the
Magistrates, upon a peace warrant, with annoying and as-
saulting Mrs. Mary Wynn, a dealer in milk.

Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant must find two good
sureties, in 25/. each, and be bound over himself in 50/., to
keep the peace to al! her Majesty's subjects, but more espe-
cially to the plaintiff; and, in order that he might suffer
some inconvenience for his misconduct, he should be obliged
to give notice of bail.—Smith was then locked up.

IRELAND.

CORK, JULY B.—GREAT MEETING.—There has been a
great meeting of the citizens to ensure the return of two
Liberal Members at the approaching election. It was con-
vened yesterday at the Diorama, fur the purpose of having
submitted the Report of the Committee which had waited on
Dr. Baldwin to their consideration; and also for the purpose
of taking the necessary steps to ensure the return of two
Liberal Members at the ensuing election. The meeting was
most numerously attended. After passing a warm resolution
of thanks to Dr. Baldwin for his former Parliamentary ser-
vices, and appointing a Committee to put two Liberal candi-
dates in nomination, the meeting separated.
The Cork Southern Reporter justly observes, that " the
auspicious commencement made at the meeting of the electors
held at the Diorama, Cook-street, yesterday, in taking the
necessary measures for securing the return of two Members
for this city in support of the Queen's Government, is a sub-
ject of just congratulation. The meeting comprehended the
entire Liberal interest of every political shade—the Committee
which was appointed represents every section and portion of it
—and, should the necessity arise, the entire body of the city
electors friendly to the peace and prosperity of the country
will be brought into the field in one unbroken phalanx. The
Committee appointed at the meeting assembled immediately
afterwards at the Chamber of Commerce, and went to work
without delay in arranging the necessary details, and perfect-
ing such an organization of their strength and resources as
%sill render any opposition to the candidates in support of the
Queen's Government hopeless. Mr. Callaghan will be one
of those candidates. The second candidate will be announced
with as little delay as possible."
The same journal, in reference to the Conservative meeting
convened by Mr. Irvine and Mr. Nettles, which was also held
tint same day, says :—" The paucity of the attendance on this
occasion is remarkable. At the former musters of the party
at the Imperial Hutch from five to six hundred was the average
number, and now, in an emergency " threatenirm the ver-
throw- of Church and State," not one hundred can'be brought
together. A contest for the county, however, being now an-
nounced, every necessary preparation must be made for it. A
more obnoxious 'Tory candidate than Mr. Longtield could not
be offered by the remnant of the Conservative party who put
him forward.

THE QUEEN.

KENSINGTON, JULY 10.—On Sunday afternoon her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited the Queen and
the Duke of Sussex. Her Royal Highness, who looked rather
better, remained with the Queen nearly an hour and a half.
The Duchess of Sutherland (Mistress of the Robes) also
visited her Majesty.
About half-past four o'clock Vicount Melbourne arrived at
the Palace, and immediately had an audience of her Majesty,
w;ficli lasted upwards of an hour and a half.
On no previous day has so large a number of respectably'
dresnd persons collected about the Palace, for the purpose of
seeing her Majesty take her departure for her usual airing, al
nu Sunday—the large area in front of the Palace, and a consi --
ciertOstn portion of the avenue, being completely crowded. At
a quarter p*st fire: o'clock, her Majesty's open landau, drawn
by four horses, vo'nh outriders, drew up in the garden avenue,
where they remained until shortly before the departure of Lord
Melbourne, when they were suddenly countermanded, much to
the :Trot of the crowd.
This forenoon the Queen was visited by Prince Ernest of
Hesse Phillipstital,
Lady Grey and Lady C. Jeukinson also visited the Queen.
At half-past five o'clock her M ,jesty, accompanied by the
Duchess of Kent, the Princess of Leiningen, and Baroness
Lehzen, left the Palace in an open barouche, preceded by two
outriders, and after driving through Kensington, Hammersmith,
and over the suspension-bridge to Wimbledon-common, re-
turned about seven o'clock. Her Majesty looked exceedingly
well, and was much cheered by the persons who witnessed her
departure and return.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, JULY 8.
Our Cstton Market has presented a heavy appearance throughout
the week, though the aggregate sales show a fair extent of business.
In the early part of the week the demand was limited, and the daily
sales rather below an average; yesterday and to-day, however, we
have had more demand, which, being freely met, has augmented
the week's business, without, however, creating an improved feeling
in the market. In prices we make no general alteration, though
the tendency is rather against the holder. Brazils have been in fair
request, and fully support previous quotations. Sea Islands are ne-
glected, and rather lower. Egyptian, though more in demand, has
given way in price, and may be quoted t/d. lower. Surats are in
fair request, but are heavy of sale. 3,000 American have been
taken on speculation, and 2,000 American, 630 Surat, and 400
Egyptian for export.

This is a very dull morning. We have no arrivals of the

consequently
there :s a great scarcity of information in the city at the pre-

The Funds were buoyant during yesterday, in consequence
of the payment of the divizinds, and the purchasing of stock.
Although small in separate amounts, they amounted together

CESTERSIIIkE

Upon his HONOUR taking his seat this morning, a gentleman
appeared on the floor cf the Court, stating that by virtue of
the oath he had taken to the King in the commission of the
peace for the county of Gloucester, he claimed from the Court
an answer to the petition he had presented to the Lord Chan-
cellor, relative to the King's Manorial Courts in the Eastern
Division of the County of Gloucester.

The VICE- CHANCELLOR said that he had not seen the pe-
tition.

The applicant observed that be came before the Court in
consequence of the oath he had taken, and bad brought with
him a certificate of having taken office.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR again stated that not having seen
the petition he could not give any reply to the applicant; if
it were sent to his Honour Le would probably be able to give
an answer.

The applicant said that it was delivered to the officer of
the Lord Chancellor the day before the last day of term ; he
had only done his duty in appearing before the Court. The
applicant then retired after pointing to a brass rod which he
had laid on the table of the Court, which he said was the sym-
bol of the Court's Leet.

MACCLESFIELD FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL.

This case came before the Court upon the petition of the
Governors of the Free Grammar School at Macclesfield, pray-
ing the confirmation of the Master's report, approving of an
application for an Act of Parliament for the establishment of
four exhibitions to Oxford and Cambridge, and also the build-
ing of a new school for teaching the lower branches of edu-
cation. The Free Grammar School of Macclesfield was
founded by Edward the Sixth, who gave it considerable pro-
perty for its support. At the present moment the income of
the charity was upwards of 1,1001. a-year, and its expenditure
only 7001. Upon a reference to the Master, he had reported
that the remaining 4001. should be appropriated to four exhi-
bitions to Oxford or Cambridge, and to the building of a new
school, and the confirmation of that Report was the object of
the preient petition.
His HONOUR granted the prayer of the petition.

PETER NICHOLSON'S ALGEBRA FOR SCHOOLS.
Just published, in 12m0., the Third Edition, very greatly Improved,
and Stereotyped, price 55., bound and lettered,
A PRACTICAL SYSTEM of ALGEBRA,
11 designed for the Use of Schools and for Private Tuition.
By PETER NICHOLSON and J. ROWBOTHA3I.
Third Edition.

**'" In this Edition the authors have not only introduced some
important original matter, particularly on Proportion, Imaginary
Quantities, the Higher Equations, Binomial Theorem, Series, &c.,
but have also endeavoured to illustrate many parts of the work by
such alterations as will make it still more acceptable to the public.
" Mr. Nicholson, by a combination of the methods of Holdred
and Horner, has greatly simplified them both, and reduced them to
the form of practical rules, which are not much more complicated
than those which are commonly given for the extraction of the
cube, and higher roots of numbers. '—Rev. George Peacock, Tutor
of Trinity College.

ELLIS'S LATIN EXERCISES, AND KEY.
Just published-, the Fifteenth Edition, price 3s. 6d. bound,
ACOLLECTION of ENGLISH EXER-
CISE:3; Translated from the writings of Cicero, for
school boys to re-translate into Latin, and adapted to the principal
rules in the Eton Syntax, with occasional references to other gram-
mars. By WILLIAM ELLIS, M.A.
Fifteenth Edition. In this edition the translation has been care-
fully compared with the original, and. corrected, and to which are
prefixed RULES for the USE of the SUBJUNCTIVE MOOD.
A KEY to the SECOND and THIRD PARTS of ELLIS'S
EXERCISES. New Edition, I2mo. price 3s. bound.
*„,* The value of the Key to Ellis 's Exercises, as giving the
original Latin of Cicero, is not to be estimated only by its imme-
diate and original purpose, to guide the teacher in correcting the
tasks of his pupils.
To the student, also, who wishes to acquire a command of Cicero-
nian Latin, more or less by private application, the assistance it
offers has been found very effective, and highly profitable.
A still greatef benefit may be derived from its pages, if it be con-
sidered at once as a complete and copious Syntax's Ciceroniana.
Teken in that light, and in aid of the very poor and imperfect rules
of Syntax which Grammars contain, it should be made the object
of constant reference and study ; wherever a prose Latin style is
cultivated, on a consistent model, as preparatory to the Universities.
In one school of some distinctions, the experiment, we know, has
been tried with decided success.

The show of stock was very good, and considerably ex-
ceeded the demand, especially of Sheep and Lambs. Prime
Mutton and Lamb were fully d. per lb. below last week's
currency; and beef was fully -1-1. per lb. lower. The §how
of Pigs was but small, but still equal to the demand—prices
the same as last week. In Veal no alteration in value—a

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From th© Gardener's Gazelle.)

Sow Winter and Spring Onions, and to provide against
the worst winter, sow also Welsh onions, which, although
they never bulb, are useful in sauces, salads, or when 'all
other kinds are killed by frost.
Sow also Carrots—Radishes for autumn crops—the sal-
mon or scarlet kind.
Brocoli—Plant out for winter and spring supply.
Finish planting Savoys.
Transplant Celery for the main crop—earth up all that
already require it.
Sow Lettuce Seed to supply the table in September.
Keep all crops clean by hoeing or hand weeding.
Transplant Endive. Sow for succession crop.
Gather all sorts of herbs, for drying in bunches for win-
ter use.

Gather all sorts of seeds as they perfect themselves, taking
care not to let them remain until the pods split, or the seed
escape in any other way.
Vines must be cleared of useless shoots, continue to exa-
mine and shift all plants in pots, when the roots are requiring
more room.

Transplant all seeding Perennials, and other flowers
which stand the winter.

Preparations may now be made for shifting Aurieulas—
clean now pots are decidedly best for the job. Take away
all the decayed leaves, and do not keep them too wet for
the next few days before shifting.

NIIt. COLIN DuNuw.—Mr. Colin Dunlop, for-
merly Member for this city, expired this morning. at seven
o'clock. His intellect was clear, searching, and highly culti-
vated. His disposition, cheerful and kindly, was energetic and
honourable. He knew but one path to his purpose, and that
was the straightforward one. He may be said to have been the
martyr of his devotion to the cause of Reform. His infirm
frame sunk beneath the anxious concern he took in the im-
pending election. The sense of his loss saddens even triumph.

THE FUNDS.-7(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE, O'CLOCK
New Brunswick Papers to July 2, state that the Prc-
vindal Legislature would meet for the dispatch of business
in a few days. The principal measure to be laid before
the representatives, would be the Civil List Bill, which,
in all probability, would pass without opposition from any
quarter. The weather for some time past had been very
propitious for the labourers and husbandmen, and the re-
ports from the various parts of the province agreed in re-
presenting the crop to be very encouraging. His Ex-
cellency Charles Fitzroy, the new Governor of Prince
Edward's Island, had arrived at Charlottetown.

Sir E. Head had tailed the Upper Gmada Le isiature
to meet on the 19th June. It appears by the 'Toronto
papers of the 7th inst., that the banks ;till paid in specie.

by his death casually andi by misfortune, in consequence of
several severe injuries received by a fall from a balloon in a
parachute of his own invention and construction ; and we
further declare that the said parachute, as moving to his
death, is therefore a deodand to the Queen."
The CORONER then expressed on the part of the jury their
perfect satisfaction at all that had appeared relative to the
conduct of Messrs. Gye and Green in the melancholy affair,
and concluded, with a serious reprimand to the landlord
Sieres for his careless and heartless conduct in exposing the
parachute and the body to the curiosity of multitudes at six-
pence per head, which it appears he announced was " for
the benefit of the widow." The landlord exhibited a great
soreness on this subject, and replied very stiffly that he con-
sidered the parachute was his property ; that he had as good
a right to make money of it as the proprietors of Vauxhall
Gardens ; supposed he had received about 101. in sixpences,
and demanded 1.5/. for the use of his rooms. It appeared
that he had refused to give up the parachute when called
on by the head gardener of Vauxhall, and the Coroner de-
clared he had behaved with such bad feeling throughout
that he could not recommend the payment of his very ex-
orbitant demand ; but recommended him, as some atone-
ment, to fulfil his promise, and hand over his collection to
the widow. The jury were then discharged from further
• attendance.
