We rejoice to find that the seamen who have lately
been detained in the service, on their ships having been
put out of commission, havelpeen offered their discharges
wi .1 all wages due to theni ; several have availed them-
selves of the offer, and have. promised to return after a
short run ashore to their ships, retaining their ratings;
the seainen of the Asia, the North Star, the Serpent, the
Fair 'RoSamond, and others, are thus released according
t 9 the, old custom of the service, the necessity for com-
pelling continued service having passed away. We
trust that the seamen of the. Donegal, about seventy of
whom did not return, are included in this order, and
that their arrears of wages will be paid them, and that
the letter 11 will be taken from their names, for having
run from a ship, the Britannia, on board of which they
had never put their feet.

MANCHESTER.—FitinAv EVENING.
The attendance this morning was very limited, and "bespoke"
anything but a good Derby settling. Coronation does not
seem to have suited the little men's books. The numerous
followers of Scott's stable look very blue upon their luck. A
few offers were mado on the Oaks,—say 50 to
.20 against
Lampeon (t) ; 5 to 1 bar one; 7 to I bar the Marqu's (off.)
The Manchester Cup was not named. As far as we could
gli an, the nominal prices are :--5 to 1 agst Kingston Robin ;
13 to 2 agst Clinker; 7 to 1 agst Cornuto ; boar agst the
field.
THE ST. LEGER.—We have not heard a bet laid since
Coronation's victory on Epsom Downs.

The adjourned meeting of the Town Council of
Nottingham, on Monday last, gave to Mr. Wakefield
the opportunity of moving a petition. to. the House of
Commons for the removal of the heavy import duties,
and especially of the unjust and impolitic Corn-laws.
Mr. W. introduced his- motion by some observations,
which at once do honour to his head and his heart, and
they were ably supported by Mr. Cullen, by Alderman
Wilson, and Alderman Hart. A show of opposition
was made by Mr. T. H. Smith, but he, stood almost
alone, •and on a division the petition was carried nearly
unanimon4,.only the mover and seconder of the amend-
ment voting against it. This is a specimen of the feel-
ing in .Nottit*ham, and, indeed, throughout the manu-
facturing , districts, against the Corn-laws.—Nottingham

those who could read only, or read and write imi:lrfeetly, were
