a Bishop of Cork. His Lordship had given half-a-crown
to a poor Frenchman, about 70 years of age, who made
the best return he could, by showing his Lordship what
he knew must be a curiosity—two large breasts, with
nipples larger than the Bishop had ever seen in a woman,
and related that, his wife dying when his child was two
months old, he endeavoured to pacify it at night by
putting it to his breast, and at length milk actually came,

suckled a wether, " and brought him to milk, and was

derable teats on his udder, each side whereof was about
the bigness of a hen's egg," and the milk was made to
spurt to a distance of two yards a month after the lamb
was wenned.----7Elliotson Human Physiology,

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.!

FROM THE MORNING TAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE. The saying of Talleyrand, that speech
was given to man to hide his thoughts, was never better
exemplified than by Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday night.
The object of the orator was evidently to put forward
just such a show of argument against the Ministerial
measure as would afford his followers a plausible excuse
for the vote they were about to give, without committing
himself to any one principle or position which could en-
danger a Tory seat at the next election : in a word, to
make such a speech that Lord Sandon may go down to
Liverpool and talk of Sir Robert Peel's attachment to
the principles of Huskisson, while Sir E. Knatchbull
assures the Kentish• farmers of his unalterable attach=
ment to the Corn-laws and the cause of monopoly.
Is this a man to guide the helm of State in times
like these ? A man who, in the mighty interests of this
vast empire, in questions involving the welfare and
happiness of so many millions of his fellow-countrymen,
can see nothing but so many sorry clap-traps to be
played off against each other, in a miserable electioneer-
ing juggle ? Can cunning save the country in the death-
struggle of foreign competition ?—can plausibility find
food for the thousands who will be deprived of their
daily bread if the Brazils treaty be suffered to expire ?
can Parliamentarg jesuitry raise two millions and a
half of money, or stave off the necessity of re-
sorting to new taxes if we refuse to admit foreign corn
and sugar ? No one knows better than Sir R. Peel that the
time has come when circumstances imperatively demand
a decision between the opposing principles of monopoly
and free-trade. The choice cannot possibly be many
months postponed, between breaking with the monopo-
lists and adopting such measures as those which have
been proposed by Ministers, or sacrificing. the foreign
commerce of the country and making good the deficiency
of the revenue by direct taxation. By staving off this
decision, by throwing out plausible, ambiguous state-
ments, to hide from the country the real nature of the
question, no single interest is served except that of the
Tory party. It enables the Tories to go the hustings,
and wear free trade or anti-free trade colours, according
to the complexion of the constituency.
TlMES.—Nothing can be stronger than the contr-ast
between the calm, quiet, and cheerful confidence, with
which the whole Conservative party is lookin,,fr "forward to
the approaching general election, and the f”.othy fidgetty,
.
buzz-and-bubble agitation of their poltieally-expiring
opponents. They remind us of the s:eene which is apt to
terminate a good day's sport at tie dragging of a fish-
pond, when the fish begin to discover themselves pent
up in shallows where they have not sufficient water to
there is a violent spurting
move or live. Inconti-,,eney
and spluttering, an flapping of tails in the mud, which
frightens all the 'ladies and little children, and splashes
them with dit c ; and if some cockney greenhorn happens
to be near,. he opines in his sapient mind that, with so
much tossing and jumping about, some of the finny
tribe must inevitably succeed in finding their way back
into the pond. The event, however, convinces him of
his mistake; the nets keep their place, not a with the
less effectually because they make no noise ; in due time
the spluttering subsides, the fish are quietly taken out
and killed, and the cockney has the pleasure of eating
some of them for dinner. Such, at this moment, is the
position of the Melbourne Cabinet, in Parliament and
in the country. The net of public opinion, having long
since enclosed them round with meshes woven of their
own misdeeds, has at last been drawn to land by strong
and skilful hands. They lie gasping out of water, shut
out from the confidence of the House of Commons, the
vital element of their official existence, and are now
making desperate but futile efforts to overleap the
barrier.
ADVERTISER.—So far as matters have proceeded,
they certainly auguur well for the eventual triumph of
anti-monopoly movement. The Ministry and the people
go hand-in-hand. We do not doubt that the announce-
ment of the Cabinet's intention to appeal to the general
sense of the nation upon the important change which
they have undertaken in our commercial policy, will be
received everywhere with enthusiasm. Now that the
die is cast, and all indecision as to a dissolution of Par-
liament is at an end, the efforts of the people will be re-
doubled to reinforce Ministers. The great Westminster
meeting gives cheering augury of devotion and unanimity
in all classes of Reformers, and proves that Lord ohn
Russell has at last hit upon the magical chord treat is to
soothe their jarrings, and allay their differences.
With such a rallying word he, cannot fail.
We rejoice to see that, as the 4'oolitionist diversion
in favour of the Tories was stifled, so is the Tory pros-
pect of help from the Chartists. It has said much for
the Chartists, and although some infatuated persons have
endeavoured to neutralise the effects of Anti-Corn-law
meetings, by moving amendments in favour of the Char-
ter, yet not a man has been found willing to stand up in
support of the bread tax. One man, it is said, -was heard
of by Mr. Cobden, of Manchester, bold enough to do
so, and we recommend that he should be cherished as a
curiosity, and sent to the congenial society of the last of
the pigtails. But apart from this worthy (Dix is the
name of him), east, west, north, and south, the people
have the sagacity to perceive that cheap sugar, cheap
timber, cheap coffee, and cheap bread, are more sub-
stantial and indispensable benefits than the " five points,"
nay, that their opposites are so combined with the power
of their oppressors, that if they succeed in getting these
they stand a better chance than before of getting en-
larged liberties. Cheap bread is indeed like the kin"--
dom of righteousness—seek it first, and all the rest will
be given to us.
POST.—The Ministerial Journals, in a most ranting
and ridiculous strain, give the country to understand
that a dissolution of Parliament is fully resolved upon.
If it be, it is an unconstitutional and unprecedented
course. The Government is beaten in a Parliament
Chosen under its own auspices, and then it resolves to
dissolve the Parliament instead of dissolving itself ! This,
indeed, is something new, and furnishes a charming indi-
cation of the views of national freedom and constitutional
practice which the Whig-Radicals have drawn from their
Palace experience. But, notwithstanding all the fantastical
flourishes of the Ministerial Journals—notwithstanding
the palpitation and convulsive hurry and earnestness
with which they exhort the people to agitate for the
coming election—we do not at present believe that a
dissolution has been resolved upon. We consider that all
this is a mere trick to turn away public attention from
the disgraceful circumstance of Ministers remaining in
office without support from any quarter but that of the
Court. Both Houses of Parliament are now decidedly
against the Ministers, and the single elections which
have now and then taken place within the last three
months indicate with unmistakeable force and distinct-
ness that the country also is against the Ministers.
And yet they stay in office ! What wonder is it that
any sort of stratagem should be resorted to—any source
of public excitement—to divert public attention from
a state of things so dangerous to the working of our
free Constitution, and so utterly disgraceful to the mean
persons who, spurned and spit upon as they are, still
cling to official advantage and emolument ? What Mi-
nisters may be driven to in the further course of their
desperation, it would be in vain to attempt to conjecture,
but we believe they are too well aware of the probable
result to attempt a dissolution, so long as any other ex-
pedient remains possible. A dissolution ! The news is
solve, at least so far as it may
we fear too good to be true. We y.dsh they would dis-
thing which we consider t be a dangerous innovation
upon precedent and joe lawful to wish for any-
+
onstitutional practice. But as to
the party interes
of the Conservatives, we have no he-
s
thiteatiron in se- •
i
sail that a dissolution would be greatly for
ad- '
antage.

.MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS PAY.

TIMES.—The Exchequer Bill Market was in a more
active state to-day than at any preceding period of the
week, with a corresponding increase in the premium, in
consequence of the still easier state of money at the
'Stock Exchange, while out of doors for commercial pur-
poses it appears to be as scarce as ever. The large, or
1,0001. bills, bearing 21d. interest, were last quoted Bs.
to 10s. premium ; the 5001. bills, Bs. to I Is. premium ;
and the small bills were done at I ls. premium, but Bs.
to 11 s. premium was the last price. In the English
Stocks the business was comparatively unimportant, with
very little variation in prices.
POST.—The permanent funds continue free from agi-
tation, and the Money Market proving less under the
influence of pressure than it had been, Exchequer Bills
and India Bonds have both realised higher prices. The
defeat of the Ministerial schemes connected with the
commerce of the country by the imposing majority wit-
nessed, seems, in fact, to have produced a general revival
of confidence. It cannot be denied, however, that the
most intense anxiety is expressed by men of business to
ascertain what ulterior measures will be resorted to by
Lord Melbourne and his friends, as a means of extricat-
ing themselves from the position in which their rashness
has placed them.
The failure noticed by us yesterday, as having oc-
curred in connection with the Brazil trade, is of more
consequence than was in the first instance generally ima-
gined, and the event is one that few persons were at all
prepared for. We understand, upon more minute in-
quiry, that the operations of the firm alluded to, were
less with Brazil than with Columbia and Mexico. It is
said, indeed, that they were almost exclusively with the
latter countries.
We learn with much satisfaction, by letters received
this morning from Paris, that the French Government
have come to an understanding with our own, respect-
ing the affairs of the River Plate, which will be equally
useful to Buenos Ayres and the neighbouring republic
of Paraguay. Both nations (France and England) have
an extensive commerce in that quarter, and it is of the
utmost importance to the subjects of each, that the
complete pacification of the rival States should
if possible, be effected, and we certainly con-
sider that it is so. We are assured, on what we deem to
be go-od authority, that, as the result of several diplo-
matic communications which have passed upon the sub-
ject, instructions have been sent out to the British
representative, Mr. Mandeville, to the effect that he
shall use his good offices with General Rosas, and that
he should co-operate with the French Charge d'Affaires
in his efforts to bring about a reconciliation. The Euro-
pean Governments (French and English) have done no
more than circumstances fully warrant, so far as they
have been permitted to transpire, in suggesting, as we
believe them to have done, to their respective Ministers
that they consider the war between the two republics to
have ceased.

The public will probably hear but little more of the
fitting out of ships-of-war and privateers in this part of
the world for the present.
SUN:.---The approach of the settling day in the English
markets, conjoined with the peculiar position of politi-
cal affairs, has of course a tendency to check speculation
in the funds, and even to retard, in some measure, the
investments of the public, who cannot be certain: bow
long it may be profitable for them to leave theii!:monez
in stocks, even if they put it there. On the other hand
the present dullness of trade catises u_sufficient number
of temporary purchases to prevent any particular move-
ment m prices. The supply and demand are, in fact,
pretty well balanced. We understand that the failure

which has occurred in the South American trade has no
reference to the Brazils, with which the firm in question
was not connected, but principally with the Republic of
Columbia. The amount of its liabilities are said to be
very heavy. We may remark that a stoppage in the
Brazil trade has not occurred for many years past.
The fact of orders being in the market to purchase
amounts of the floating debt has served again to buoy up
the premium, which to-day went as high as 6s. and 10s.
Of East India Bonds the current value was par to 2s.
premium. Consols for immediate transfer were at 90 to
891, closing at 898 sellers, and for the Account at IN
to 90. At one period of the day there were slight symp-
toms of a baccadation. Bank Stock was worth 168,
East India Stock fluctuated from 2501 to 2514, the New
Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 984 to 984, and the
Three per Cent. Annuities at 88.1 to 4.
A sale or two in Spanish Bonds in the early part of
the day had the effect of depressing the price of the Ac-
tives ik per cent., viz., from 234 4 23 but the re-
trograde movement was occasioned as much from want
of business as any thing else. Portuguese Old Five
per Cents. were done at 62, and the New at 334. Rus-
sian Bonds were at 1124, and French Three per Cent.
Rentes at 80f. to 79c. 75f. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. were flat at 524 to 4.
A limited business only was transacted in Railway
Shares, and at barely the previous rates. Great Western
were 281, the New 14, the Fifths 7, the London and
Birmingham New 214, the Croydon 4, and the South
Western 174 premium. Brighton Shares were 34, Man-
chester and Leeds 19, North Midland 29, and South
Eastern 174 discount. London and Westminster Bank
New Shares were at 2, National Provincial Bank of
England at 4, and Union of Australia at 9 prem.
The Foreign Exchanges were. wlthout any particular
alteration to-day, but appear'A to have a downward
tendency. On Paris, bill
1-.
s at three months' date, were
taken at 25f. 60c. to r,2
2,, on Amsterdam at 12 31,4 on
Antwerp at 12 3 on Hamburgh at 13 104 to on
Frankfort at '1494 to 4, and on Trieste 9 59 to 10.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
4 FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Thomas Blake, brewer,
and Mr. Thomas White, ship-builder, were returning
from Yarmouth on Tuesday evening, in a phaeton, the
horse gibbed, and upset the carriage, throwing the gen-
tlemen out with great violence, and so seriously injuring
them that they have been since confined to their beds,
but we are happy to say no bones were broken, and that
they are proceeding favourably..
The churcwardens of the parish of Northwood, as in
duty bound, have been exerting themselves to obtain
signatures to petitions in favour of the present Corn-
laws ; the one resident in Cowes succeeded in obtaining
17 names in three days ; but in that time one against
these prohibitive laws was got up, and 100 signatures
soon affixed to it, not only with the names but the resi-
dences added.

There is a queer story from Newport, in 77w Sun of
the 18th inst., of the Radical Members for Newport op-
posing the disfranchisement of 40 or 50 Conservative
electors of that borough, when their return to Parlia-
ment would be secured thereby. We are of opinion that
the declaration, or decision, of a score of Revising Bar-
risters, that part of Cowes was in the borough of New-
port (curious thought it is), would not go far to prove that
the houses occupied by the electors were the property of
the Corporation of Newport : if it did, how is it that all
the houses in Newport that giie votes do not belong to
the Corporation ? The whole paragraph is a very lame
affair ; no attempt is made to contradict the statement
which appeared in The Sun of the 13th inst. ; indeed
that could not be contradicted, as it was only a descrip-
tion of the different clauses as they stood in the Medina
Company's Bill. As to the inhabitants of Newport
wishing (the Company wishing) to alter their river, they
have the same right they have to alter any of their roads
not at the expense of their neighbours ; and if there
is any monopoly, it must be that of the Company, who
wish to put a perpetual toll on all the goods landed at
Newport, &c„ say on potatoes 3s. per ton, cranberries
3s. per barrel, other articles in proportion, being six-
!ii?ae4 what is charged in other ports. How the poorer
)linabitants are to be benefited by this tax remains to be
seen—the trade is not likely to be improved certainly by it.
This country never looked more beautiful ; the white-

thorn, now in full blOssom:clothes the woods and hedge-
rows in one sheet of white, and fills the air with its
fragrance. The town is particularly healthy ; with a
population of 5,000 we have had but three deaths in the
last three months, and our medical practitioners, for want
of better employment, are absent on visits to their friends.

LAUNCH OF THE THAMES.

Thursday was a day of bustle at the quiet village of North-
fleet, it being the day fixed for the launch of the Thames, the
first of four large steamers in course of building for the " Royal
Mail Steam-packet Company," by the contractor, Mr. Pitcher.
The morning waslowering, with a stiff breeze from the south-
west and heavy showers, but at the moment appointed for the
noble ship to take her native element, the sun shone forth
with great splendour, and the " Thames," receiving her name
from Mrs. Longland, the amiable lady of the Secretary to the
Company, glided with matchless grace into the flowing stream,
amidst the cheers of congregated thousands. It would appear
that the Directors of the Company had intended to be present
on this important occasion, but by some mismanagement, which
we trust is not always their rule, they did not arrive at the
scene until the gallant ship had been some time afloat. We
could not have thought so great a company would have taken
a little Greenwich boat for their excursion, when there are so
many fine . vessels plying to Gravesend close to the scene of
action.

The following are the dimensions of the Thames :

The burthen is 1,285 10-94 tons; builder's measurement,
1,300 tons old measurement.
The ship is now at Blackwall to receive her engines and
fittings. We have yet to learn her power. The sister ships
Aledway, Iris, and:Trent, building by the same enterprising
contractor, are progressing. The Medway will be launched in
about a month. Two ships intended for the Company have
been launched in the Clyde, and another will float on the waters
of Leith in the course of a few days, but we doubt if either of
them are equal in beauty to the Thames. We could not help
remarking that there was not one lady in the Company of the
Directors, nor did we hear of any entertainment being given
given in honour of the christening of this their first ship
launched on the Thames.

THE REVOLT IN EUROPEAN
A TURKEY.

The Austrian Observer contains the following official ar-
ticle upon the origin of the revolt which has broken out in
Bulgaria, and upon the events which succeeded it :
" ALexasassa, MAY s.—Two months before the revolt
of the Rajas of the districts of Nissa, Kowacz, Pirot,
Vranja, Prokopaczka, and Berkowacz, the most distinguished
Bulgarians, namely, Miloje and Gavras, presented them-
selves several times at the quarantine of Alexanissa to com-
plain to the authorities of the acts of oppression perpetrated
by the Turkish Governors, and to declare that they could no
longer pay the taxes, which, notwithstanding the promulga-
tion of the hatti-scheriff of Gulhane, had been increased in-
stead of diminished. As the Bulgarians are a peaceable
and industrious people, they employed the assistance of the Ser-
vian Government against the excesses of the Turkish Governors,
and the licentiousness of the Arnaut troops. They were refused.
They then procured arms and ammunition, and determined to re-
lt, and to send a deputation to Constantinople to lay a statement
of their grievances before the Sultan. Miloje and Gavras were
their leaders. They were determined not to use their arms unless
their application failed, or that they were attacked by the Ar
nauts. They sent deputations twice to the Pacha of Nissa to
reclaim their rights, but they never could gain access to him.
Unfortunately, the second day of the revolt, the Bulgarians
seized a block-house -on the frontiers of Servia, and captured
the fort of Akapalanka. In consequence of this movement
the Pacha of Nissa set out in pursuit of Miloje, who had
taken the road to Constantinople, together with thirty or
forty persons. Miloje threw himself into the fort of Ka-
menitza. The Pacha of Nissa sent the Archdeacon of
Bulgaria to him with several Christians and Turks, to
invite him to surrender. Miloje not only refused, but shot
two of the Turks who accompanied the Archdeacon. On the
25th ult. the Pacha marched towards Kamenitza with 10
pieces of cannon and some hundred Arnauts. He surrounded
the fort and attacked it. Miloje having been wounded in the
foot by a ball, drew a pistol from his belt and killed himself. A
part of his escort surrendered, the remainder fled into the fo-
rest. The Pacha gave orders to the Arnauts whom he had
brought ;tom Piron and Les-Kowacz to burn all the villages
in the revolted districts, and to put the inhabitants to the
sword, or bring them prisoners to Nissa. This order was exe-
cuted in the most cruel manner. The Pacba, who fears the
Sultan's anger, in consequence of the atrositets manner in which
he treated the Christian population of Bulgaria, threw 17 of the
principal merchants into prison, in order to force them
to declare that the Pacha was not to blame for the re-
volt which had broken out. It is probable that the Divan,
when it is informed of the facts which occurred, hasten to
adopt the necessary measures for restoring order and tranquil-

The Leipsic Gazette of the lErth instant states that the last
letters from Belgrade announce that the utmost excitement
and discontent prevailed in the towns of Sophia, Philippipol,
Servez, Salonica, Britoglia, Janina, and Avlana. A new tariff,
impsing a duty of two per cent. on all export., had enraged
tlys Rajahs beyond measure. Accounts from Niikmentioned
that out of 150 villages only 20 had escaped destgtorion. , The
Pasha had refused to allow any deputation to proceed to Con-
stantinople. It was considered unfortunate that there was not
any European Consul residing at Nissa, or in any of the Bulga-
rian towns. '

THE SHOREHAM ROAD.— The Shoreham
Road Bill went into a Committee of the House of Lords on
Tuesday, when, after Council had been heard at great length,
it was determined to introduce a clause enabling the Railway
Company to lay down rails and cross the read on a level, and
also to strike out the clause prohibiting the erection of a gate
neares Br,ghton than Hove. As the latter is a money. clause,
it is neesssary that the Bill should go back to the Commons ;
and as the trustees will not do this, the result is that the Bill
will be abando.led, and the road will be left in its present'
wretched state. Thouh it was a somewhat unusual course
for the Lords to introduce the clausegiving the Company
power to lay rails across the road, it serves the trustees per..
fectly right. They were offered the most liberal terms by the
Railroad Company for the use of the road-no less than id. on
every ton of goods, with the
find understanding that the carriages
should be drawn by horse-power, and never make the transit
before sun-rise or after sun-set. - These terms the :trustees
refused. Why ? Because they wanted a• round sum to...be
