RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.

Lord MELBOURNE then rose amidst profound silence
and said Lords, it is my duty to acquaint your Lord-
ships that in consequence of the vote, which was come to by
the other House of Parliament, on Saturday morning last
-and which was precisely similar in terms to the vote
come to by your Lordships at an earlier period of the
week ; on the part of my colleagues and myself I have
tendered to her Majesty our resignation of the offices
we held, which resignation her Majesty has been gra-
ciously pleased to accept, and we continue to hold those
offices only until our, successors are appointed.

The declaration of the Noble Viscount was receimd
with perfect silence.

DRAINAGE. OF TOWNS.

The Marquis of NORMANBY, in moving the third
reading of the Buildings Regulations . Bill, and the
Borough ImproeMents Bill,. said he had no objection to
accede .to the amendments proposed by the Honourable
and Learned Lord (Lyndhurst) in those. measures. With
regard to the third bill (the Drainage of .Towns' Bill)
which he had presented to their Lordships, subsequent
inquiries had induced him to consider that it would be
more desirable that the Bill should originate in another
place. He would therefore withdraw it.
The Boundaries Regnlation.Bill and the Borough Im-
provements Bill were then respectively read a third time
and passed.
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE BILL.

The LORD CHAXCELLOR said that as the Bill
Which he had preSented to the House the other evening for
the Better Administration of Justice in Englandhad
already passed their Lordships' House, and was pre-
cisely iu the same state in which it had been left by the
House Of Commix's it the close of the last Session,
he trusted their LordshipS would sea no objection .to its
being then read a second. time, in order that it might be
considered in Committee on Monday. next.
Lord BROUGHAM saw no objection to the pro-
position of his Honourable and Learned Friend,
inasmuch as his objections to the Bill would be more
properly considered in Committee. He had no objec-
tion to the principle of the Bill, therefore he should not
oppose the second reading.
The Bill was then read a second time, and
ordered to be committed oi!Monday.

Nottingham, Aug. 24, 1841.
My Dear Anderson,--It will somewhat inconvenience me to
grant your request, but as you say " it is at the desire of the
Public," I cannot, dare not, refuse. My dear friend, let me
therefore advise you to make the most of your " delusive
powers," for be assured I will not longer tolerate delusion to
be practised upon myself or the Public; therefore remember
that you must make your exit in your own peculiar style, " a
la presto," after Saturday, Sept. 4.
Yours very sincerely, F. YATES.
Mr. J. H. Anderson, the notorious deluder.
From the above the Public will observe that Mr. Anderson
has obtained six wore n;ghts' grace from Mr. Yates. Mr. A.
wishes it had been a hundred more ; but the Public will see
that it is impossible, therefore he must say " Farewell" after
the above date, with heartfelt thanks to all whom he has had
the honour of deluding. Novelties shall not be diminished but
increased. The Wizard will be more and more incomprehen-
sible; and the celebrated Lancashire Bell-ringers have been re-
engaged to add additional eclat to the lest six nights of the
season.

most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum ( Is.

On Saturday morning a dreadful accident
pened to lie Hastings mail. It appears that between one
and two o'clock in the morning as the mad was proceeding to
London, shortly after passing through Tonhridge-wells, the
horses became restive, and set off at full speed. They had
not proceeded far when they came to a turn in the road
leading from Toubridge-wells into the Maidstone road,
where, notwithstanding every attempt was made :by the
coackman to keep them in the middle of the road, they ran

At Manchester- . some extensive sales were made last

while the gloom continues. At Leeds the woollen
markets are much more active. At Bury trade is very
dull and languid, and numbers of operatives want work.
At Leicester the demand is improved, and a fair amount
of business doing at low prices. The wool market at
Bradford is also much better.

GUILDHALL.

On Wednesday last, Mr. Yates, and thirteen other
gentlemen, who are shareholders in the Union Flint
Glass Company, appeared at this office before Sir P.
Laurie, in order to make statements of complaint of the
conduct of the Directors of the Company, and to ask
the advice of the Magistrate as to the course they should
pursue, in order to prevent the Directors from causing
them to incur further responsibility.
On Saturday Mr. Morris, the Chairman of the Direc-
tors of the Company ; Mr. Reynolds, the Deputy Chair-
man ;. Mr. Wilson, the Secretary ; Messrs. Glover,
Cheese,' and Reynolds, Directors, attended before Sir
James Duke, with Mr. Horry, the barrister, and Mr. D.
Wire, the solicitor to the Company, to complain of the
statements made against the Directors. After the ordi-
dinary business had been dispatched, the party adjourned
to the private room, when the worthy Alderman statad
that he thought the business upon which the gentlemen
had met was not one for magisterial decision.
Mr. Wilson said that a report of the previous applica-
tion had been published in the Times and other journals,
which was not only untrue in nearly all its parts, but
likely to make an unfavourable impression against the
Directors.

Sir J. DUKE suzgested that it would be better for the
matter to stand over until Monday, when they could meet
Sir Peter Laurie, who had heard the complaint in the
first instance, and who he was certain would give it his
best attention. It would be improper for .him (Sir J.
Duke) to adjudicate upon a matter which had been heard
cxparlc by another Magistrate.
Mr. Wire said the Directors had been maligned un-
justly, for instead of acting in the way stated, every step
they had taken was with the view to the benefit of the
shareholders. One falsehood stated-was, that the princi-
pal Director had left the country, and it was added that
there was only one of the Board of Management who was
a monied man, whercas there was one gentleman now in
the room who could pay more than all the liabilities of
the Company, which was a bona
fide one, and not of the
description represented. The Directors had not ex-
ceeded their estimates, which had beon tested by a
competent gentleman conversant with the glass trade,
and reported to be such as to ensure an ultimate
profit for the money embarked in the apeculation.
The Directors had no wish to bring an action against the
papers, but they thought that the proprietors should ha
called upon to give a negative statement through the
same vehicle as early as possible, and the sooner that was
done the better.

A Director said that the traducers knew, before they
left Bromley, that the Magistrate had no power to act,
but they said they would apply, in order that their
statement should appear in the public newspapers. The
Directors were Sir Peter Laurie should see all
their transactions, and arbitrate between them and the
shareholders; they did not wish to conceal a single trans-
action. 'The gentlemen then withdrew, upon an under-
standing that they were to have an interview with Sir
Peter Laurie in the early part of the week.

Chantrey's monument to the Bishop Ryder, was
erected last week in Lichfield Cathedral. As a work of
art it is much admired.
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.
At a meeting of the Asiatic Society held on Saturday,
a paper which was read, related the advance of the
British into the Ghaut country. It appears that in the
Orissa region the people were in the habit of propitiating
the Earth-god, with considerable human sacrifices, and
in a valley not two miles in length, the bodies of no less
than seven victims were found. Children are preferred
for the sacrifice, and slaughtered by the Priest or Pa-
triarch of the village, who cleaves their sculls with an axe.

tighten it. The process will go on until the farmer feels
the pinch. The rents, even at their reduced amount,
cannot be paid, when the rate becomes enormous. If
things should come to this, never will the wicked be
more thoroughly and more speedily punished. It may
be too late then to talk of the Sliding Scale, or of any
scale. Hunger will demand the total and unqualified
repeal of the Corn-laws."

The following is from the Leeds Times :—" People nre
perishing of hunger ; deaths from starvation' are in-
cre4s4,lg.in
,frequency. The demand for bread every day
becomes louder and more menacing. Every week the
pressure on the means of subsistence is increasing.
Whatever the lawmakers may suppose, this state of
thinga.cannot last. The people must be fed ;if they are
deprived of the means of earning their bread by their
own honest labour, they will assuredly, sooner or later,
attempt to wring a sufficiency for themselves by some
other means ; and who knows what will content them in
the hour of desperation and revenge ?"

MONEY—TRADE—COMVIERCE.
The distress of the Spitalfields weavers and the poor of
the metropolis, will be considered at a meeting to be
held at the London Tavern, on Friday next.
At Bradford spinners do not work after dark, and
prices do not decline. At Bolton prospects are more
cheering. The trade of Holmfirth gets worse, and the
number of unemployed increases. At Leicester the de-
mand for goods is slacker, but prices remain the same.
At Manchester the cloth-market has greatly declined,
prices are fearfully low, and the gloom increases. At
Middleton not one-half of the silk-weavers and dyers are
at work, and, indeed, in every, direction twenty miles '
round Manchester, distress and starvation prevails.
At Rochdale • this last week a manufacturer has as-
signed over his effects for the benefit of his creditorS ;
his engagements it is supposed will amount' to a few+
thousand pounds.

COMMLIZCIIIL IZMFORINT.
At the meeting of the Anti-Corn law Delegates, held
in Manchester on Wednesday last, a proposal was made
for preparing a complete statistical survey of the inju-
rious effects of the Corn-laws on morality, health, and
the various branches of industry. Committees were
proposed to be formed in every district in the kingdom,
and each branch was to be under the control of those
best fitted to conduct the inquiries—viz., the religious
bearings under the cognizance of the clergy and dissent-
ing ministers ; the medical line by the members of that
profession ; and an united committee of masters ar.d
workmen, to collect materials as to food and wages. It
received the unanimous sanction of the meeting.

ECCLESIASTICAL.
On the 31st ult. the three hundredth anniversary of
the festival of the Reformation was celebrated at Witten-
burg. The inhabitants on the occasion formed a proces-
sion, and walked to the statue of the great Reformer,
where they sang their hymns.

The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, which
the world are severally anxious to fulfil, are the inherent privi-
leges of mankind, and but for the accidents of mortality would
be awarded equally to all. To such, among others, this essay
addresses itself; and, by its perusal, many questions may be
satisfactorily adjusted, that admit of no appeal, even to the
most confidential friend. To fan the spark- of hope, to dissi-
pate groundless alarm, to restore failing confidence, and point
to the means of securing a happy old age, is no trifling recom-
mendation of an effort directly tending to the social and moral
welfare of all classes of the community.

A farmer of, Chapelle, ('Ruin, in the Doubs, having
some days rgoe.lert a field a quantity of vitriolated
torn' hen' tended for Sowing, his daughter found it, and
knowingnot the preparation it had undergone, gave it
to a pig she had the care of. The animal, after eating
it, became so much out orcandition that the farmer de
termined to sell it before it was too ififieh reduced. An
inhabitant of the place bought and killed it, and 17 per-
sons who partook of the pork were attacked with violent
cholics. Some became so ill that, believing they were
about to die, they had the last sacrament administered
to them, but fortunately all recovered.. it was remarked
that those who partook of the black puddings made with
the blood were those who suffered the most severely.

In this case a rule had been obtained calling upon the
defendant to show by what authority he claims to fill the
office of a burgess of the borough of Ludlow, and the
ground on which the rule was obtained was that he was
not the occupier of any house within the borough during
the year 1840, or the two preceding years—that he was
not an inhabitant householder, and not entitled to be
rated as such.

Mr. J Eavis now appeared to show cause against the
rule, which he said was one of a vast number obtained
at the instance of Mr. Lechmere Charlton, of Ludlow.
Mr. Charlton had previously attempted to raise the ques-
tion which was now before the Court by a man-
damus which he had obtained, and which he had after-
wards refused to try. Now, in the first place, he sub-
