Jaturday last a meeting took place near Gosport, be-
tween one of the hospital Mates, at Hasler, and a medical
practitioner of that town ; they were each attended by a me-
dical man, and after an exchange of shots they quitted the
ground without having been able to bring about a reconcilia-
tion. On the same day a moat melancholy accident occurred
in this harbour. A boat belonging to the Amphitrite, (a
frigate in ordinary), upset, and five out of the six persons in
her met with a watery grave, viz., the boatswain, his wife and
daughter, the cook, and a boy. The bodies have all been
picked up, and the Admiralty Coroner has held his inquest on
them. Verdict accordingly.

E POOR CHURCH OF IRELAND

DIOCESE OF Tuard.—A meeting was held on Thursday
even insli at the Corny fT
magma iitiOrrnnthem a to
principles of the Ms Ift)llShect Ugurn,
in the diocese of Tuam. The Rev. H. Stowell, of Man-
chester, presided. The meeting was addressed by the chair-
man, the Rev. Mr. Poulden, vicar of Westport, and the Rev.
Mr. Nolan, of Liverpool, in furtherance of the object. We
judge the success of the reverend divines was not very great;
the Manchester folks, no doubt, fancying that the Church of
Ireland, and especially the diocese in question, is rich enough,
whatever their flocks in the West of Ireland may be.

LYCEUM.—A few weeks since only, a News-room and L-
brary were opened in Ancoats-street, Manchester, and which
is designed chiefly for the working classes in tEat densely po-
pulated district. The inhabitants appear to think it a great
boon, as nearly 700 subscribers now appear on the list, which
will bring in an annual income of about 3001. The Library
consists of about 1,000 volumes. Most of the daily London, and
all the Manchester Journals, are taken in, as well as many
Monthly Magazines and Reviews. Dr. Epps, of London, is
now gibing a course of lectures on Human Physiology. Al-
though the subscribers are admitted free, still, the tickets
being low (ss. for the course), has induced an extraordinary
number to attend. It is calculated that the receipts will be
sufficient to pay the lecturer, without touching the funds of
the Institution.

I'HE EARL OE SEP TON.—His Lordship has been
removed to Stoke Farm, near Windsor, where he is attended
by Dr. Chambers and Mr. Moore, of Arlington-street, who
accompanied him during his recent tour. The Noble Earl's
youngest son, the Hon. Francis Molyneux, is acting as Charge
d'Affaires at Frankfort-on. the-Maine until the arrival of the
new Minister (the Hon. Henry Edward Fox), now on his
way to England, from Italy.
The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury and
family are expected in Grosvenor-square on Monday next, on
their way to Byam House, Brighton, which the Noble Mar-
quis has taken for the season.
Mr. and Lady Augusta Wentworth and family ar-
rived in town on Saturday from Wentworth Castle, Yorkshire,
and on Thursday proceeded to Paris, where they intend pass-
ing the winter.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Theo-
dosia Spring Rice are expected to remain three weeks at
Hastings for the improvement of her Ladyship's health. The
new private secretary of the Right Hon. Gentleman is Rich-
ard Bourke, Esq., son of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Richard Bourke,
late Governor of New South Wales.
Earl Howe was appointed one of the guardians to
his only son by the late Lord Ribblesdale, and it was with the
consent of the Noble Earl that the young Lord, who was only
five years of age at the period of his noble father's sudden
demise, resided with Lady Ribblesdale after her marriage with
Lord John Russell.
Lord and Lady Belhaven have been placed in
mourning by the demise of their brother, the Hon. William
Hamilton, heir presumptive to the title. The late Hon. Gen-
tleman died at Serampore in July last. He held a captaincy
in the Hon. East India Company's service, and was in his 41st
year.

Stafford House, in the absence of the Duke and
Duchess of Sutherland in Italy, is occupied by various work-
men and artisans, who are endeavouring to complete that noble
mansion by the ensuing spring, when it will be one of the most
splendid residences in the metropolis.
Lord and Lady Southampton, who arrived at Dres-
denur
a short time since, have left in continuation of their tour
accompanied by the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, M. P. for Lewes,
and party. The Noble Lord and Lady, and party, intend vi-
siting Constantinople.
The Earl and Countess of Wicklow and the La-
dies Howard have left town for Brighton, where the noble fa-
mily will pass the winter.
Sir Edward Cust and Lady, it is said, are on the
eve of taking their departure for India, to the regret of their
numerous tenantry, and all who know them.
CANTERBURY.—Lord Brougham, with his lady
and daughter, passed through this city on Tuesday last, on his
way from Dover to London. His Lordship visited the cathe-
dral, attending the afternoon service, with which he expressed
himself highly delighted. His Lordship and family afterwards
proceeded to Sittingbourne, where they were to sleep.—Kent
Herald.
EATON HALL.—The Marquis and Marchioness
of Westminster have returned to this splendid seat, from Hal-
kin Castle, Flintshire. Previous to the Marchioness leaving
the latter seat, her Ladyship bestowed clothing, &c., to the
poor of the neighbourhood. The Marquis has established two
schools for the education of the children of the poor in the
vicinity cf the Castle.
MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING.
THE COTTON TRADE.—The business done on Tuesday, was
extensive, both in hand and power-loom cloths ; and though
the last arrivals from America brought more favourable
accounts of the cotton crops thaii had been previously enter-
tained, and though these accounts have operated a little on the
Cotton Market in Liverpool, still purchasers of grey cloth to
a large extent have since appeared, and at decidedly higher
rates. Many large manufacturers have not a piece on hand ;
they therefore anticipate a good trade. Though the winter
yarns are saleable to a fair extent at a shade above last week's
rates, the advance is not sufficient to induce some spinners
to mark full time.

THE « TRUE SUN" IS NOW
INCORI-OHATED.

LONDON:
SATURDAY EVENTY,:3, NOVEMBER io, le3B,

We have one word to say in reply to the exquisite
twaddle of the Herali, The Act of 1819, and the
other Acts of which our Contemporary complains as
favourable to the mo:iied classes, were not passed by
them for their advantage, but by the landlords for the
supposed public welfare. The landlords had, and have
still, unfortunately, the great preponderance in the
Legislature. One House of Parliament is entirely
composed of them, the Ministers are almost always
selected from them, a,:cl the other House in 1819 was
almost exclusively the:r creatures. They might have
been stupidly ignorant of the effect of their own
laws, but they, and not the monied classes, were the
authors of the Act of 1819. It was not passed,there-
fore, like the Corn-laws, by the men who are to pro-
fit by it, and for their profit, but by another class. The
worst that can be said against the monied classes is,
that they profit by the stupidity or ignorance of the
country gentlemen.
We do not reply to our Contemporary's remarks on
Free Trade, because he has no more conception of the
thing than the blind have of colours. Our Contem-
porary allows it to slip out that he is the enemy of
profit ; and opposes the Repeal of the Corn-laws on
the principle of those who " object to a class of indi-
viduals who live on profits while the producers are con-
demned to live on wages." In some persons this may
be consistent and proper, but the Herald contradicts
its own doctrines. Every day, almost, it vapours of its
attachment to the farmers, and on their behalf opposes
the Repeal of the Corn-laws. But the farmers, when
not landlords, but only tenants, live on profits, and
thus it writes against the very class it pretends to love.
Daily, too, almost, does it rail against idle consumers ;
and yet the Corn-law, which our Contemporary supports,
taxes the industrious classes for behoof of the landlords,
who are the most idle and worthless consumers in the
prnn;rp_ nilie.et neither to profit nen- rent, as they
the free bargains and sales be-
tween man and man, but we object to either
being augmented by taxation ; and if our Contemporary
will point out any laws which, like the Corn-laws,
designedly tax the other classes for the exclusive bene-
fit of those who live on profits, we will aid him in pro-
curing their repeal. We are as much opposed to the
sugar monopoly—the coal monopoly—the coffee mo
nopoly—which are constituted by such laws, as we are
to the bread monopoly. Our Contemporary glories in
the inconsistency of defending one and condemning
the others.

We publish to-day the narrative of WILLIAms,
whom Mr. EVORS committed to prison in Mont-
gomery. If true, as we are assured it is, to the
tyranny which was at first manifested we must add
still more disgraceful meanness. Mr. Evons re-
laxed his grasp when he found himself resisted, and
appears to have attempted to bribe the poor man whom
he had injured to make a false confession of his guilt.
The manner in which the population of the country
is corrupted by the petty tyranny of the local magis-
tracy is made evident by the degradation inflicted on

WILLIAMS, and the pauperism to which his wife and
family were reduced. The man must have uncommon
firmness to surmount the evils of being thus made a
public character of, and uncommon diligence and
prudence, without help and only such small wages,
ever to get out of the slough of poverty and degrada-
tion in which the Rev. Mr. Evoas has plunged him
and his family. His case is unfortunately only a
sample of the manner in which the poor are treated in
most of the rural districts of the kingdom, and the
consequences are deeply imprinted in their character.
The narrative will he read with more interest when
we announce that the case will lead to further pro-
ceedings.

In our columns of this day will be found, extracted
from the London Gazelle of last night, the official text
of the Commercial Treaty between Great Britain and
Austria. Taken in conjunction with the Treaty be-
tween England and Turkey, this document will enable
our merchants to laugh at the three years' labour of
Prussia, to consolidate her anti-British Commercial
League. We know rmt to which of our Ministers
more especially is the country indebted for Treaties
agreed upon at so fortunate a juncture, and based upon
such sound commercial principles ; but this we know,
that to their framers, and to the Ambassadors who so
well supported them, is Lord MELBOURNE indebted
for two of the most popular acts in the history of his
past administration.

Every arrival from the West Indies but strengthens
our conviction that there never will be happiness,
security, or peace for the emancipated Negroes, so long
as the administration of 0-lc:laws, and the management
of the plantations are continued in the hands of those
white officials whose occupation, previous to the passing
of the Emancipation Act, consisted in torturing and
tormenting them with impunity. They cannot endure to
witness the elevation to the rank of free, intelligent, and
well-behaved fellow-citizens, of a class of beings whom
they were accustomed to treat a myriad of times worse
than they did the " beasts that perish." Having pro-
nounced them incapable of civilization, and strangers
to all the better feelings of cur nature, they deem it a
sort of duty to themselves to employ every artifice toneu-
tralize or retard every measure calculated to ameliorate
the moral and social condition of the Negro race. Several
of the Colonial agents have powerful inducements to
the provocation of some insurrectionary outbreak on
