A. REPORT having been CIRCULATED
that the STAR HOTEL, MANCHESTER, was
CLOSED, MARY YATES takes th u opportunity of stating
that SUCH HAS NEVER BEEN THE CASE, and that
the business is carried on as usual.
The mistake has doubtless arisen from the circumstance of
the Star Hotel COACH-OFFICE having been closed in con-
sequence of an improvement in the Street projected by the
T°", being about to take place, and requiring the space occu-
pied by that building.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

(Satinga, in Banco.)
FRANKIS V. FRANK'S.

This was a case involving a question of considerable in-
terest as regarded the stamp laws. The case had been
tried at Gloucester at the last assizes.

Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW moved for a rule to show cause
why a new trial should not be granted on the ground of
the rejection of an important document by the learned
Judge. During the course of the trial a document was
sought to be put in.. purporting to be a memorandum that
Jonathan Fraukis held a farm under his brother Thomas
Frantis, at Afeucctf.6Pl, a year. The learned Judge re-
fused to aamtt this document, on the ground that it was
not stamped. The learned Sergeant contended that this
document had been improperly rejected, as it did net require
a stamp. If it required a stamp, what stamp would have
been the proper one ?—a deed stamp, or an agreement
stamp ? It was merely a memorandum tied therefore ought
to hale been received.

The Court held that the document in question was the
counterpart of a lease, and therefore it had been rightly c-
jected.—Rule refused.

IFt. The Chain-pump in action is direct and simple ; but by
friction and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain,
and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain-
pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a
limited sliding principle.
2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant
idea ; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral
principle.
3d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt.
This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder
Pumps, under every name and modification. All Pumps upon
this plan arc of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed
must they be who expect the contrary, because mostly above
two-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their
friction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the
new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines.
Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the
last 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle.
4th►, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing
stocks of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising
water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor
less than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis-
coverable defect or imperfection, it possesses every essential
property for the purpose intended in the highest degree.
AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE.
Dr. Birkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Lon-
don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and
defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect
Hydraulic Machine.
The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq.,
F.L. S., published a work in 1830, and therein makes a rash,
false, foul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited,
and although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages
in some cases, it cannot he used for great elevations. Never-
theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as
below one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known
that flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability.
The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly
gone, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity'when
their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun-
dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun-
tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost
indestructable.

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1840.

A number of highly respectable old women, dis-
guised in the habiliments of the sterner sex, are to
gold a meeting at the Freemasons' Hall, on Friday
next, to take the part of the Chinese against the
" red-bristled barbarians of Downing-street," com-
monly known as her MAJESTY'S Ministers. These
doughty personages have already appointed a Com-
mittee, which Committee has published a series
of " reasons " why the public should declare for
them and the High Commissioner LIN, against the
" Barbarian Eye," ELLIOT, and Lord PALMER.
STON. As an apology, we suppose, for the non-
sense propounded as " reasons," the personages
above alluded to " repudiate all connection with
party politics," and are content to claim for them-
selves the distinction of being a " religious body."
It has been said that religion is often more a matter
.of feeling than of understanding ; and that what
many religions persons advance as arguments upon
the morality of political questions are but the im-
preasiots left upon the mind by a series of foregone
conclusions. This appears true of the Committee,
whose " reasons" why we should submit to the ty-
ranny of the Chinese Commissioner have been
handed to us. We shall take leave to cite them in
detail, putting upon each such a comment as a
llregard for truth, and the honour and interest of the
British empire, may appear to us to require. The
first " reason " for opposing the war runs as fol-
lows :

" Because it is a war in defence of a system of smug-
gling. The Chinese have, since 1796, punished the
opium smokers; and, since 1821, have interdicted the in-
troduction of opium into their empire on moral grounds,"

The first line of the very first " reason" is a
downright falsehood—a gross libel upon the Go-
vernment, the House of Commons, and the British
nation. It is not a war in " defence of a system
of smuggling," but a war against a system of en-
forcing Custom-house laws by the starvation of
innocent communities of helpless merchants, and
the imprisonment of Ambassadors. The punish-
ment of the opium smokers by the Chinese is about
as cogent a reason against op
ium dealing, as the
punishment in En land of
gl a man who attempts to
cut his throat is against knife-grinding, or the fining
a drunkard five shillings by a Police IVlagistrate is against gin distillation. The concluding statement I about the moral prohibition of opium in China ris proved to be false by the memorial of _
IN Eu 70. A ET-SE,
presented to the EMPEROR in
1836 .
,
which" it is affirmed that the poppy was exten-
sively cuLltivated in six extensive provinces of the
empire, and that it was the " leakage of the Sycee"

THE MARKETS—(THIs DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There have been small fresh arrivals of English Corn since
Monday, but a good quantity of Foreign Wheat. There has
not been much business transacted, but Monday's prices were
firmly maintained for every article. Flour unaltered.
NEWGATE AND LEADENIIALL MARKETS.
Supply moderate, but equal to the demand. Prices much as
lad quoted, but where altered rather lower. Trade for Poultry
very heavy, and only for good things ; and a great quantity of
Wild Fowl at market. Capons, Gs. to Bs. ; Fowls, 4s. to ss. ;
Chickens, 33. to 4s. ; Pigeons, 4d. to 6d. ; Goslings, ss. to

siderable attendance. B. P. Sugar sold slowly at previous
rates. The stock is now small, and the show of samples scanty.
220 bags h. P. Cocoa fetched about 50s. for fair red. There
were two small parcels of Coffee, but they were second-hand

THE DERBY AND OAKS.

The settling for these races took place on Tuesday, and
passed off quietly, the losses having been distributed amongst a
large number of speculators. We do not mean to imply that
all was paid up, far from it, but enough was forthcoming to
keep the winners in tolerable good humour, which is quite as
much as can be expected in the present state of the market.
One party, we understand (and we heard of no other who was
altogether " wanting"), made a one-sided settlement by receiv-
ing all he could, and walking off with it; as it was probably an
oversight, we shall spare his name for the present. The only
bets we heard were 400 to 100 and 450 to 100 agst Crucifix for
the St. Leger.

GREAT CRICKET MATCH BETWEEN THE COUNTY
OF SUSSEX AND ALL ENGLAND, AT LORD'S.
Yesterday evening this celeln.ated match between eleven
picked players from the county of Sussex, and eleven players
selected from the several counties and clubs of England, ter-
minated, after two days' flay, in favour of the former, by a ma-
jority of twenty-two runs. For some time past this contest
has been the principal topic of conversation in the sporting
world, and bets to an immense amount have been pending thy
result. On Monday, as well as yesterday, the weather proving
propitious' a concourse of some thousands of spectators, includ-
ing several persons of distinction, assembled at Lord's cricket-
ground, St. John's-wood, for the purpose of witnessing the
match. and, from the beautiful play exhibited on both sides,
it must have proved a great treat to the admirers of this truly
noble and national game. The turf was in line order, which
greatly assisted the bowlers, and the bowling of Lillywhite
and Dean had tremendous effect upon the wickets of their op-
ponents. 'l' he batting of Pilch, A. Mynn, Esq., and Broad-
bridge, was generally admired. Preseott, a very good player,
occupied the place of G. Langdon, Esq., who a few days since,
while rid ng along the Steine at Brighton, was thrown front
' his horse, and his knee sustained considerable injury.

The report on the frontier is that the Queen is to arrive
at Barcelona on the 6th ; and Segarra, as well as other
Members of the Junta of Bergara, intend to send in their
submission.

Th.! accounts from Perpignan, of 2d June, say that the
Carlibts in Catalonia are in a state of confusion, which is
increased by the announcement of the speedy arrival of the
army of the Duke of Victory. The greatest fermenta-
tion prevails at Berga, the teat of the Juntas. Part of
the inhabitants are preparing to leave town as soon as
possible.
Segsr:a, who consented to rrsumo the command of the
Carlist troops only on the earnest intreaties of the Junta,
after the death of Llarch de Copons, Lever leaves his
house, and it is thought he is ill; others say he pretends

A. LDERMAN HARMER AND THE 'Prates.—Sucha
series of bitter articles have appeared in the Times lately,
against Alderman Harmer—the bitterest of all appeared
yesterday—that the public begin to suppose some other
relation has existed between that Journal and the Al-
derman than appears on the face of the articles. They
say that nothing but personal motives could dictate
such continued rancour ; they remark that tho Alder-
man is 4n attorney, and they infer, that on some occa-
sion the writer in the Times has been his client ; and as
clients have generally a great dislike of their attorneys,
particularly if unsuccessful, they infer that Mr.
Alderman Harmer has not succeeded for his client of
the Times. We entertain no such suspicion ourselves,
but we must caution our Contemporary, lest his exces-
sive and untiring rancour should be generally referred
to some such unworthy personal motive. Surely, too,
his bitter severity against another individual cannot I

spring from a feeling of personal riv4lry aol jeaousy

HOME COLON ZATION.

- ~-

(rno7.* A CONIESTONDENT.)
Debate eller debate has taken place, hud will yet
take place, upon the subject of emigration, end it is net
improbable that, as hitherto, nothing will ever be done
in this point materially to advance the interests of the
masses. There is one most important consideration
generally neglected in the discussion, namely, that over-
Population is not real (for there is room in England
for every Englishman within it), but virtual, arising
atom vicious, social, or legislative arrangements. One
of these in itself, the Corn-kw restriction, it might
be shown, takes elbow room from millions.
We would not overlook the truth, that colonization,
conducted as it has been of late upon the improved
Principles developed by Mr. Gibbon Wakefield, has
done much and will do mote ; but the Wakefield sys,
tern must itself be materially modified before it can
feet any lasting or extensive benefit except to capita-
lists ; and we believe, -moreover, that it would not be
difficult, and it would be more profitable, to make the
Application of these principles at home.
There are, it has been calculated, .5,000,000 of waste
acres in this country, capable of bearing grain. Here,
it might be said, there is room for colonies where there
Would be no dearth of labour. Were the Government
tir a Company to expend some capital in rendering these
'lands fit for ready cultivation, by furrow draining, &c.,
and forming them, as is done in the New Zealand
scheme, into town and country f•ections, to be sold to
capitalists and others, they would find it for their own
profit, and for the wide advantage of the community.
To assist the smaller capitalists and men whose main
capital is in their head and hands, such a plan as the
following might be adopted, to one somewhat resembling
which, pursued among:the Hindoos, in taxation, has been
attributed much of the great productiveness of that
country.
Make advances of land, of money, and of other aid to
analall incorporations, say of five or six individuals, men
ief known character and skill, and industry, the value
to be repaid by instalments upon their mutual guaran-
tee. The repayment might be made t y means of
annuities, deferred for a few years, calculated on their
joint lives, so as to leave their property unburdened to
their heirs. Encouraged and assisted in this manner,
'and acting in a fair field vr.rh concert and co-operation,
the increasing value of their hind or good will, would
become to the Government or the Company an addi-
tional security ; nor would it be deemed Utopian to an-
ticipate the regular payment of the annuities from the
united labours of men as to whose ability and inte-
grity the lenders had previously satisfied themselves.

GUIDE CARDS TO THE BRITISH

It is the intention of the present Series of Illustrated Guide
Cards to direct particular attention to such objects as may most
interest the young, and are best suited for their inspection ; thus
enabling them to visit these collections with a purpose of last-
ing improvement. The plan here adopted, of printing a repre-
sentation and description of particular things to be examined,
upon separate cards, is one, it is presumed, of great convenience,
for it will enable parents and others to classify and arrange be-
forehand, with reference to the number of their party, and to
direct the attention of all, in turn, to the more remarkable ob-
jects presented in in the whole Pack, to be studied upon the
spot, at successive visits.
