Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Edinburgh.

" The Ballads of Prafeisnr Aytoun have the life-like reality of the
old pictures, and much of the warmth and fulness of their colouring.
They take up an inspiriting event, narrate -it, and by the mere force
of the narrative excite in you ennobling passion and a love of human
greatness, together with deep sympathy in its sufferings. Such is
the aim and scope of ballad poetry Such lines fix
themselves in the memory as the first-loved melodies of childhood.
We have read them with great enjoyment, and now heartily thank
the author for his delightful volume : the prose notes and illustra-
tions of which are as interesting as the ♦erse is admirable." —The

rrHE HISTORY OF EUROPE.
By ARCHIBALD ALFON LL.D., F.R.S.E.
- - • •

This edition 13 printed In decoy Bvo., with a new and elegant pica
type, on superfine paper, and emb:llished with Portraits.
une Hundred Copies have been printed in royal Bvo., with Proof
Impressions of the Portraits, uniform with which an edition of the
Atlas is issued.

Vols. 1., 11., and 111. are published, containing Portraits of Louis
XVI., Maria Antoinette, Mirabean, Danton, Marat, Robespierre,
and Edmund Burke.
"Two or three obvious facts are, no doubt, closely connected with
the remarkable success of the • history of Europe.' It Is the only
substantial work that we have with reference to all the period and
all the important events of which it treats ; it deals with a section
of history in which every living man is almost personally interested ;
it grapples with questions whose solution has yet to be recorded ; and
it comes before a generation astounded by the din and confusion of a
dozen political and s3cial revolutions. explaining the causes and de-
fining the mixed results of one fearful revolution which, in some
respects, may be regarded as the father of them all. . . .
We can honestly recommend the present edition; in all respects, if
such recommendation be needed at all by a publication which con-
trives to take such admirable care of itself."—The Times, May 31.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ASCOT RACES AND THE LA'
DIES.—On the drive, the ride, or the promenade, ladies
should ever be provided with Rowland's Kalydor, which
will be found gratefully refreshing to the complexion,
dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying
all irritability and heat, and immediately affording the
pleasing sensation attendant on restored elasticity and
healthful state of the skin. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples,
and discolorations fly befcre the application of the Ka-
lydor, and give place to a healthy smoothness and trans•
parency of complexion. In cases of sunburn, or stings
of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. As
a protector and restorer of the hair, Rowland's Macassar
Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from the
injurious operation of the sun and dust. It is highly
necessary, on purchasing, to sre that the word " Row-
land's" precedes the name of the article on the wrapper
of each, as spurious imitations are abroad.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—An Extraordinary Case of a
Bilious Attack, of Indigestion, and Flatulency cured by Hollo-
way's Pills.—Khairatee Khan, a native merchant of Patna, in
the East Indies, suffered for years from bile, indigestion, and
flatulenc7, and although he consulted the most eminent sur-
geons of the province, yet he derived no benefit from their
treatment, but gradually became more debilitated. Having
one day a severer attack than usual of these dreaded maladies,
he determined to try Holloway's Pills, and this fine medicine,
which has obtained such high repute throughout the world,
very soon reinstated him in perfect health; and in gratitude
for the benefit he desires this wonderful cure to be made
public.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's
Establishment, 214, Strand, London.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, JUNE 5.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :
The weather during the past week has been most beautiful, and
vegetation makes rapid progress throughottt this district, every-
thing presenting a most luxuriant appearance. Business con-
tinues very inanimate, with only moderate supplies of all arti-
cles. At to•day's market wheat (foreign) of fine quality was
scarce, the little in granary not being at present offered for
sale ; only a moderate supply of English wheat, which met free
sale at is over last week's prices, and farmers generally asked
much more money. Very little business passing in malting
barley, but grinding is in fair request. Other descriptions of
spring corn are neglected. No arrivals of linseed, and but
little passing in landed parcels. More business has been 'lone
in cakes during the week at late prices. Bones are saleable at
our quotations. . . .

LEEDS, JuNE s.—The supply of wheat at market today is
good, and meets a steady sale at last week's prices. Beans and
oats also maintain late rates.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE s.—At this day's market there was only
a modera'e attendance of town and country buyers, and the
business done in wheat and flour was extremely limited, at a
decline of ld per 701bs, on inferior qualities of the former, and
3d per barrel on the latter article. Oats and oatmeal were very
difficult to move, though offered at id per 451b5., and 6d per
load decline. Barley, beans, and peas sold in retail at our quo-
tations. Indian corn met with a slow sale, and prime yellow
must be quoted 6d to is per quarter lower than on this day
week; prime white, however, being comparatively scarce, fully
maintained its value. Indian corn meal brought 16s 6d per
barrel.

DAL/UM' MEAL MARKET, JUNE 4.—At this day's
market there were 98 bags oatmeal, 3of barleymeal, and 0
of pot barley ; sales ready ; oatmeal up is 3d per bag on

PARLIAMJN TARY DIVISIONS.

From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

TUESDAY, JUNE 5.
NATIONAL REPRESENTATION.
Motion made, and Question proposed, " That leave be
given to bring in a Bill to amend the National Representa-
tion, by extending the Elective Franchise so as to include
all householders, by enacting that votes shall be taken by
Ballot, that the duration of Parliaments shall not exceed
three years, and that the apportionment of Representatives
be rendered more equal to the population." The House
divided:—

SPORTING IN TELLIGENCE.
ASCOT HEATH RACES.—TUZSDAY.
The general excellence of the racing advertised for the
first day, and the interest attached more particularly- to the
three leading events, i. e., the Queen's Vase, the Triennial,
and Ascot Stakes, would have been quite enough to secure
the attendance of the sporting classes; and, under any cir-
cumstances, the presence of the Court would have attracted
a large and fashionable assemblage. Coming, however, so
shortly after the recent outrage, the promised visit of her
Majesty was looked forward to with more than ordinary
anxiety; and thousands, who might otherwise have reserved
themselves for the Cup or " grand " day availed themselves
of so favourable an opportunity of testifying their loyalty
and attachment. For the gratification of this feeling ample
facilities were offered. In addition to the long-established
route by the Great Western to Slough, the South-Western
Company provided special trains from the Waterloo-
bridge Station to Staines and Datchett, where numerous
well-appointed conveyances were provided to carry pas-
sengers on, either through Egliam and Englefield-green, or
Windsor.
By the diversion of the traffic which necessarily arose
from this competition, much of the confusion which we have
so often witnessed in Windsor was prevented, and the journey
was rendered shorter and less fatiguing than of old ; of course
the town suffered from it to some extent; the inhabitants
must have anticipated that such would be the case, for on no
other ground can we account for the Windsor Town Plate
having realised the contemptible sum of 35/.
The racing yesterday was announced to take place at one
o'clock, by which hour the appearance of the course abun-
dantly indicated that the combined attractions of the royal
visit and a great day's sport were appreciated; a more nu-
merous or a better class of company has not often been seen
on a first day, even at this favourite resort of the aristocracy.
All were on the qui wive for the arrival of her Majesty;
unfortunately a tremendous thunderstorm came on shortly
before the royal liveries were visible in the distance, and
the enclosure at the grand stand and the course were
cleared as if by magic. The rain ceased shortly after her
Majesty's arrived at the Royal Stand, but it completely
damped those loyal effusions which fine weather, it would
seem, are necessary to elicit. The royal cortege consisted of
five carriages and four, the char a banc, and a pony Orator].
In the carriage with the Queen were their .Royal High-
nesses Prince Albert and the Duchess of Kent, and Prince
Henry of the Netherlands ; in the next, his Serene High-
ness Prince Edward of Saxe Weimer, the Duke of Norfolk,
and the Duchess of Sutherland. In addition to these illus-
trious and distinguished personages, we noticed the Dukes
of Rutland and Wellington, his Excellency Count Schimmel-
penninck, the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, the
Marquis of Abercorn, the Marquis and Marchioness of
Clanricarde and Lady Emily de Burgh, the Marquis and
Marchioness of Worcester, Lord Fortescue, Lord Listoweil,
Lady Canning, Vice-Admiral Lucas, Lieutenant-Colonel
Pigot, Honourable Colonel Phipps, Colonel Bouverie, Mr.
Ormsby Gore, Colonel Wylde, &c., &c. We should state
that all the royal carriages were open, and that umbrellas
were brought into requisition to shelter their occupants from
the rain ; even his Royal Highness Prince Albert was com-
pelled to resort to one for the protection of her Majesty,
during her progress up the course.
The bell rang for saddling immediately after the Queen's
arrival, and the rain having ceased, the sports pro-
ceeded without any impediment to their full enjoy-
ment. The Queen's departure took place after the
Ascot Derby, amidst cheering that must have convinced
her Majesty that the absence of those demonstrations,
which have marked her presence upon all previous visits,
did not proceed from any want of loyalty or regard. The
racing, which was protracted until a late hour, realised
all that could have been anticipated; a better, or a more in-
teresting day's sport, has rarely been witnessed. Of the
eight events brought to a decision the three already men-
tioned, as forming the chief attractions of the list, alone call
for any observation. The race for the Queen's Vase was a
surprise in more respects than one. Cossack came into the
betting at the eleventh hour, and at one moment was actually
first favourite. The race, however, resulted in favour of the
fielders, the cracks being bowled over by an animal of whom
no mention was made in the betting. The Triennial Stakes
was another agreeable surprise to the professionals, Hotspur,
who did not look by any means fit, Elthiron, in short, all the
favourites, succumbing to a horse who, although he ran
Elthiron to a head for it last year, was in scarcely any favour
this, the "second time of asking." The Ascot Stakes, with
which the interest of the racing terminated, fell to the lot of
the Duke of Richmond, with the same animal that won it
last year. The other races do not call for any remarks be-
ynd what we have appended to the return. Business com-
menced shortly after one o'clock with—
The Trial Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added; for two-
year olds, 4st 41b ; three, 7st 41b ; four, Bst 71b ; five,

atterwarJs to the turn by Ellerda!e; here Cossack and Cane-
z•m, who had been lying fourth and nab, went up, passed
Ellerdale half-way up and caught Glenalvon at the Stand.
A very fine race home terminated in favour of Glenalvon by
a lead, Cossack and Canezou making a dead head of it for
the second place. Run in 3 min. 52 sec.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday the 4th, the Incumbered Estates

(Ireland) Bill was read a third time, and passed. I have
noted on a former occasion the prospect there was, that
the success of this Bill would open the road to improve-
ments in the titles to landed property throughout the
empire.
In the Committee on Supply, opposition was made to
a grant of 1,6951., which, if not the precise thing deno-
minated Regium Donum, was of the same nature; being,.
as was extracted on inquiry, divided among upwards of
a thousand persons purporticg to be Dissenting minis '
te rs, in sums consequently averaging about thirty shil-
lings each, and without any list being kept or required
of the recipients, on the ground that it might be wound-
ing to their feelings that their names should be known.
Last year a stout opposition was made by the mass of
the Dissenting body, through petitions and otherwise, to
the continuance of this most unkind benevolence. But
this year they appear to have been mute, or with such
small exception as to be inconsiderable. A friend of
theirs stated, in conversation along the benches, that
they did not want to keep up a perpetual outcry, and
were keeping silence that words might accumulate. I
must take leave to doubt the goodness of this policy.
Whenever the accumulated remonstrances appear,
the ready intimation from the enemy will be, that
they are the result of an artificial agitation, the proof
being, that there were none before. The tirailleur sys-
tem is better than that of vollies, for a warfare of this
nature. It is the same that was practised against the
Unjust Judge, and acts by a continual dropping, rather
than any attempt to wash away the stone at once. It is
impossible that on the present occasion, the muster of
the Dissenters' friends should not have been weakened
for want of orders; so the grant was finally passed with
a majority of 52 against 33.
The Clergy Relief Bill as amended in Committee, is
printed, and so far as I can judge, is purged of the
" white sheet" and other objectionable matter. There
is perhaps a little unnecessary tonguing over, of the word
"Deprivation." But tho decaying giant must be in-
dulged in his growl. The Bill as amended stands for
consideration on the 13th.

On Tuesday Mr. Hume made his motion to bring in a
Bill for Extension of the Suffrage, Voting by Ballot,
Shortening the duration of Parliaments, and diminishing
the inequality in the Electoral Divisions. The question
was not altogether fortunate in its mode of introduction;
for it is not policy to begin by representing the sup-
porters of a measure as entirely at variance among
themselves, nor to place a Government in the position ot
enemies, by assuming their hostility before they have had
time to declare themselves. Under these circumstances
there is perhaps some excuse for the manner in which the
Government replied ; but that will not prevent the con-
sequences which probably will ensue. It is not unlikely
that the declaration of this night, will be quoted as
having produced the same effect as the well-known de-
claration of a Noble Duke against Reform in an earlier
stage. A consummation not to be lamented in the end;
though regret may be inevitable, that the end could nut
have been obtained by other means.
The old eighty seem to appear faithfully upon the
scene ; the motion having been negatived by 268
against 82. _ .

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
AN OLD REFORMER.

London, June 6, 1849.

IRELA ND.
THE STATE PRISONERS.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—This afternoon a
deputation, consisting of the Lord Mayor, the Mayors of
Cork, Waterford, and Limerick, and several clergymen,
Roman Catholic and Protestant, Mr. Butt, Q C., &c.,
proceeded,: by appointment to the Vice-Regal Lodge, to
lay before the Lord Lieutenant memorials on behalf of
the state prisoners.
The result of the interview cannot transpire until long
after post hour, but the nature of the answer may be
guessed from the fact of the prison authorities having re-
ceived orders t hold the prisoners in readiness for em-
barkation this evening.
Mr. Crayon Duffy and several other friends took leave
of Mr. O'Brien this morning.
A deputation from one of the Dublin Relief Corn-
mittes is about to visit London forthwith.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LADY BLESSINGTON.—OUT
Paris correspondent, in his letter dated Monday, five in the ,
afternoon, announces this distressing event as follows :—" We
have all been much shocked this afternoon by the sudden
death of Lady Blessington. Her Ladyship dined yesterday
wPIi the Duchess de Grammont, and returned home late in
her usual health and spirits. In the course of this morning
she felt unwell, and her homoeopathic medical adviser, Dr.
S mon, was sent for. After a short consultation the doctor
announced that his patient was dying of apoplexy, and his
prediction was unhappily verified but too rapidly, as her
Ladyship expired in his arms about an hour and a half ago.
Poor Lilly Blessington ! She was loved and admired by all
who had the happy privilege of knowing her, and of joining
in those social circles of the worthy and the wise who congre-
gated around her hospitable board. It was but the day be-
fore yesterday that she got into her new house in the Rue de
Cercle, where her delightful reunions were eagerly looked
for as an oasis in this republican desert, where the few good
and great men who yet linger in this distracted country
hoped to find a brief respite from the turmoil of party strife.
It was but last week that Lady Blessington was dining at
the Elys6e, and remarked to Prince Louis Napoleon with
how much pleasure she looked forward to her residence in
Paris, and now Mors sola fatetur quantula cunt hominum
corpuscula. Every one will attribute this sad occurrence to
cholera, but Lady Blessington died of apoplexy. Cholera
has had enough laid to its charge, and even now at the pre-
sent moment it has affected poor Carlotta Grisi, who is
seriously ill, but it is hoped that she may recover, as she is
better than she was last night. Last night it killed ten
Deputies and Madam Vi,conti. Poor Lord Wallscourt was
carried off rapidly last week, as he did not send for advice
in time. Lady Nortnanby is also very unwell, and is going
to Chantilly to-morrow, to escape from the intolerable heat
which is now raging.—illorning Post.
Two FIRES AT LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Yester-
day morning a fire broke out in the Farnham Castle Tavern,
29, Little Trinity-lane, City, the property of Mr. Joseph
Kitchin. It appears that about an hour after the occupants
had retired to rest, the police-constable on the beat per-
ceived an unusual glare of light in the bar, and at once
raised an alarm. Upon the inmates coming down stairs
they found the lockers in front of the bar, containing fire-
wood, oil, and turpentine, in a body of flame, the heat from
which had melted the liquor-pipes, and about twenty gal-
lons of spirits escaping, also became ignited. The inmates,
with the assistance of the brigade, succeeded in confining the
flames to that portion of the premises in which they origi-
nated. About the same hour a fire occurred upon the pre-
mises of Mr. E. Hall, known as the George Tavern, Gravel-
lane, Southwark. It commenced in the flooring of the
skittle-ground, but the damage done was trifling.
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER.-00 account of
Whitsuntide hclidays there was but little business trans-
acted during the whole of last week. The market, however,
presented its usual scene of activity yesterday. There was a
good attendance on Change, and a decidedly firm feeling
prevailed. Yarns were more inquired for, and most sales
were effected at quite as high a rate, and in some cases at a
higher rate than last week. Buyers for the Indian and
Chinese markets were very active, and a better trade than is
usual for this season is being carried en in all descriptions of
light fabrics. Domestics and heavy goods are not so de-
pressed as they have been for some time past. The advance
in the lighter materials suited to the Indian markets was
yesterday very considerable, and there is a prevailing im-
pression that trade with that market and with China is
likely to be considerable.
THE RIVER PLATE.—By the arrival of the packet
we have received advices from Moate Video to the 22d
March. They bring no political news, except a contradic-
tion of the report that Admiral Lepredour had signed a
convention with Rosas. He was still at Buenos Ayres.
The half-yearly meeting of the Grand Junction
Canal Company was held yesterday, at which a dividend
was declared at the rate of ö per cent. per annum, leaving a
surplus of 2,3031. to be carried to the reserve fund. The re-
port stated that the experiment adopted by the company in
becoming carriers continued to yield satisfactory results. In
July last they carried 2,126 tons, the receipts in connexion
with which were 2,9381., while in March the number of tons
had risen to 9,930, and the receipts to 11,0871. It was also
added that the competition between the North-Western
Railway Company and the Canal had, "by recent arrange-
ment, been confined within legitimate bounds."
THE WEATHER. —During yesterday morning the
weather was intensely hot, the thermometer rising to up-
wards of eighty in the shade, with clear bright sunshine. up
to half-past two P.m., when suddenly the sky become over-
cast,f
and the metropolis was visited by a heavy
hail. Some of the hailstones were of an shower. o

was torn to pieces, and the van, with its

THE LATE QUEEN CAROLINE.—It is already
•
known to many that the unfortunate Consort of George the
Fourth, during her residence abroad, adopted and received
into her establishment a young Greek lady of noble birth—a
native of Scio, and took a most lively interest in her future
fate and fortunes. This lady, it appears, on leaving the
Queen was married to a Scottish gentleman, and proceeded
on her travels in almost every quarter of the globe. Since
her return home, we understand she has written an account
of her residence with the Queen, and of the adventures she
met with on her travels. The work is announced for itnme
diate publication under the title of " Adventures of a Greek
Lady," and will doubtless excite much interest.
THE WEATHER.—The weather continues highly
favourable. The crops begin to make a splendid ap-
pearance. There Lever was a finer prospect of an
Cal lisle Putt iot.
abundant harvest.—

UXBRIDGE YEOMANRY CAVALRY.-This corps,
under the command of Captain de Burgh, met for five
days' training and exercise on the 29th, finishing with a
review on Saturday, after which an excellent dinner was
given to the men by the officers. Cornet Sleigh, who
has just joined, and was formerly in her Majesty's
77th Regiment, passed a high compliment on the corps
for its general efficiency. The races in conjunction
with this corps, we understand, will take place early in
August!
