STATE PROSECUTIONS.

A public meeting, called by advertisement, was held
in the Hall of Science, Sheffield, on Wednesday evening
last, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament
to release Hetherington from prison. The meeting was
numerously attended, and at eight o'clock Mr. haw Iron-
side was c,lled to the chair. A number of speeches were
made on the occasion, inveighing in strong terms against
the attemj.t to smother public opinion by prosecutions.
The fallowing resolutions were unanimously passed :
Res,lved—l. That persecution, fur opinions' sake, is
incompatible with the spirit of the British Constitution ;
is subversive of the bases upon which the Church of Eng-
land is founded : viz., the right of private judgment; and
is absurd, inasmuch as experience proves that it invariably
defeats its own end, by cleating a sympathy with the per-
secuted; and consequently a reaction in the public mind.

" Humbly s;howeth—That your petitioners have lei:ramd with
surprise and regret, that in the nineteenth century prosecuttons
are deemed necessary for the support of received opinions.
" Your petitioners are firmly persuaded that truth will stand
alone, without the aid of the Attorney-General or any other
extrinsic support ; they, therefore, humbly submit that the
prosecution of Henry Hetherington. bookseller and publisher,
of the Strand, London, now a prisoner in the Marshalsea, for
the publication of " Haslam's Letters to the Clergy of all De-
nominations," under the assumption of its being a blasphemous
libel, is harsh and uncalled for in the prevent age, and humbly
pray that your Honourable House will adopt such measures as
will procure his immediate release ; and further that you will
introduce such a change in the law as will prevent the recur-
rence of such an evil in future.

A NEW NOVELIST.—We have reason to be-
lieve that the reading public are on the point of being
called upon to greet a new aspirant in the realms of to.
mantic fiction, whose pretensions will, at once, place him
in the very highest rank of that most popular branch of
modern literature. If what we bear of the forthcoming
novel entitled " The Engagement" be true, we have had
nothing since " Tremaine" and " Pelham" that has bests
calculated to call forth half so much curiosity concerning
its anonymous author, or half so intense an int,nest
to-
wards itself, as will this forthcoming work. Indeed we
are told that it combines, in a very remarkable manner,
the leading characteristics of the two accomplished writers
above referred to—that it unites to all the force and fervor
of imagination and the strength of passion, which ao en-
chant us in Bulwcr, all the exqui ite moral grace and
beauty, as weal as the truth and delicacy in the delinea-
tion of the female cbaractor in all its phases, which so
eminently distinguish the writings cf Mr. Plumer Ward.

Very Rev. the Dean of Chichester, in the Chair. It ap-

CLEARED OUTWARDS.

Year ending sth of January, 1840 :—ships, 142,895 ; tonnage,
11,266,073. Year ending sth of January, 1841 :—ships, 146,127;
tonnage, 11,417,991.

We have not been able to afford space to give the contents of
these very useful tables, particularly the table distinguishing the
countries to which the vessels employed in the foreign trade re-
spectively belong. The greatest tonnage so engaged, we observe,
is that of the United States, which last year was 432,486 tons in.
wards, and 396,366 outwards. Prussia is next in rank, and Nor.
way follows.

This was settling day in the Foreign House, but from the limiled
extent to which speculation has been entered into in the Foreign
Securities of late, the differences to be paid were unusually small.
In Spanish Actives the extreme fluctuations during the Account
have not amounted to more than % per cent., and in the other
securities the same apathy has existed. Spanish Actives opened
this morning at 23% to 4; at the close of business, however,
prices were not quite so firms, the quotation for the Account being
231 to 4. Dutch Stock improved fully per cent, on the closing
quotations of )esterday; but in the other Foreign Securities there
was no material alteration.

TIMES.--Money in all the markets was in demand to-day, and
the current rate on Consols was about 5 per cent. This, in the
absence of any news to give an impulse to business, necessarily de.
pressed prices, and the English stocks closed with rather a heavy
tendency.

The accommodation required for the settlement in the Foreign
Funds was trifling, as speculation has not taken an active lead in
them, but nevertheless from 7 to 8 per cent. was paid by those who
required it. The fluctuations in the various descriptions of stock
have altogether been of light character, with the exception of the
decline in Chilian from 64 to 60, the last advices from Chili re-
presenting the settlement of the arrears of interest to the satisfac-
tion of the bondholders as extremely doubtful, and therefore the
account has been little else than a nominal proceeding.
There was rather a better supply of bills offering on 'Change to-
day, and it having exceeded the demand on Paris, Hamburgh, and
Amsterdam, there was consequently an improvement in the rates
of exchange on those places. Bills upon Antwerp, Brussels, and
Legll.-.,rn, were rather in request, and the rates on thesis. places re.
mained the same as last post.

The accounts from Paris indicate that the Bank of France
is exposed to difficulties with which we are here perfectly

members. Thus. the sense of the great seminaries of British learn-
ing and piety was manifested against the Ministerial project—not
by any more relative quantity of votes, but by the unanimous voice
of their ten Representatives. The feeling of the landed interest
—the prime commoners, owning and cultivating the soil, gi%ing
life to agriculture, and affording the best market for the consump-
tion of the manufactures produced by the industrial capital and
community of the United Kingdom—was declared to be hostile to
the Bill by a majority of 96, the proportion of this body who voted
against, over those who voted for the measure, being about 62 per
cent. (137 to 41); and, including the University Representatives,
hostile by a majority of 106, or about 68 per cent. against.

AGRICULTURAL.

The next meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society
is appointed to take place in Bristol.
The tenant pauperising system is again in full
vogue. It is announced, for example, that the Earl of
Lonsdale, at his last audit day, remitted from 20 to 25
per nt. to his tenants on their rent. Has he demanded
more yom them than is just, or is the remittance the
price; of their votes ? The Leibeigners of Germany,
are so named, we believe, as owning nothing but their
bodies. Lord Lonsdale's tenants seem worse than the
German Leibeigners, for they seem to own in integrity
and independence neither body nor soul.

Her Majesty has presented a donation of one hun.
Bred pounds to the City of London General Pension
Society.
In the excavations making near Notting-hill for
the erection of houses and the formation of a park, to be
called " Victoria Park," an ancient tumulus has revealed
itself. A stone coffin and two wooden sarcophagi, along
with the remains of several human bodies, that crum-
bled on exposure to the air, have been discovered en-
crusted with lime.

The Judges of the Home Circuit will be enter-
tained at Addington Park, by the Archbishop of Canter
bury on Thursday.
The late colliery explosion at Thorniey is believed
to have been occasioned by the negligence of the boy
Gardner, who perished, in leaving the trap-door open,
which caused an accumulation of gas in the waste, that
ignited by the candle of the boy.
At a late meeting of .the Dublin Repeal Associa-

it is with deep regret that the Wizard puts forth the above
announcement, but as preparations are about to be made on
an extensive scale for the opening of the Adelphi Theatre for
its Theatrical Season, the Wizard is compelled prematurely to
finish his season of wonderment ; therefore those who wish to
see the Wizard and his mighty doings, must not new " stand
on the order of going," but "go at onee." During the con-
cluding twelve nights the Wizard will display all his peculiar
powers, mortal and superhuman, which are without parallel in
this or any other country.

TOLL FREE.—The overburdened traffic of the Free Bridges,
and along the leading thoroughfares from Charing-cross to
Gracechurch-street, coupled with the repeated closing o f
those Bridges—the wretched state of property along the Toll-
bridge Roads--the disgraceful condition of the Waterloo-road
—and the oppressive operation of the Tolls on the poor man
and all classes in trade, amounting to a heavy and exclusive
tax on labour and industry—fully evince the necessity of extin-
guishing these imposts. PETITIONS for such object are
still in course of SIGNATURE.

DEATH OF A VERY OLD MAID.— A woman,
Or the name of Mary Macleod, who passed all her dais
in a state of single blessedness, died at Morefield, in
the parish of Ullapool, ora the 23d ultimo, ut the ad-
vanced age of 105. When upon her death-bed, she
called iu one of the neighbours, a piper, and obliged
him to promise her, under pain of being haunted by her
ghost, to play the tune of " Caberfeigh" at her funeral.
The lad being somewhat superstitious, and fearing, in
case of non-compliance, that the old lady's manes would
take vengeance upon him, actually kept his word, and
played the wished for tune merrily, in the rear of the
procession, from the place at which the corpse was taken
up till it came to a river, within half a mile of the bury-
in, ground. When he got over the river he disconti-
ruled, perhaps recollecting the popular belief—" a runnin
stream they daurna cross."—lnverness Courier.
THE WEATHER.—During the last four days
we have again unfortunately had a preponderance of
moisture over dry sunshine ; but the temperature has
been mild and growing.—Glasgow Herald. •

SPORTING,

The contest for the silver sculls—a sort of floating
Prize—took place yestGrday evening. These silver sculls
are only retained by the winner one year, and he who
holds them at the expiration of that time is obliged to
resign the sculls or again take his chance of being victor.
Mt. Jenkins, the last year's winner, contested it this with
Mr. Chapman, who had before been victor. Mr. Jen-
kins won by half a minute, or more than three lengths
a-head.

The cricket match between the county of Hants and
the Marylebone Club was played on the sth, 6th, and
7th, at the Southampton Cricket-ground, and terminated
in favour of the Hampshire men.

STRANGE SUICIDE.

Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at
the Crown, John-street, Spitalfields, on the body of
Emma Butfoy, aged 18, who poisoned herself with ar-
senic, under circumstances not clearly to be accounted
for. The deceased was the daughter of the landlord of
the Weavers' Arms, Brown-lane, Spitalfields. On Sun-
day evening last, after a hard day's work, she sent the
pot-boy for a pennyworth of arsenic, telling him she
wanted it to destroy vermin. The lad brought the arsenic
and gave it to her in the kitchen, and told her how Mr.
Morton, the chemist from whom he had boughtit, said she
was to use it. She received it, and sent him to her mo-
ther for half a pint of beer, giving him the money to
pay for it. Her father was in the kitchen at the time,
but he was near-sighted and deaf. .4fe then absented
himself. from the kitchen for about twenty minutes, and
he believed that in the mean time the deceased mixed
the poison with the beer and drank it. A female friend
and the aunt of the deceased came in shortly after she
had taken the poison, when she simply complained of
sickness, and they administered to her ipecacuana and
castor oil. When the house was shut up, at twelve
o'clock, the mother went to bed without going to see
after her daughter, who, between three and four
o'clock next morning, came and knocked at her bed-
room door, saying that she was very ill. The mother
took her into her bed, and, seeing that sho got worse,
sent for a doctor, but before he arrived the poor girl had
expired. Mr. Birch, the doctor, was of opinion that de-
ceased had died from having taken arsenic, and it ap-
peared she was pregnant. It was stated that deceased
had been attached to a widower, named Savage, who
was very fond of her, but that she had broken off her
connection with him, and fell in love with a married man
named Kay. Though these circumstances might have
affected her mind, it was very clearly proved that ever
since a fall she had met with five years ago, her head
was aftected. The Coroner said, that the probability was
that the injury formerly done to deceased's head had
produced, under all the circumstances, delirium, during
which she had destroyed herself. The Jury eventually
came to that conclusion, and returned a verdict of " Tem-
porary insanity."

EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH.—On Monday
a party, who had been to spend the day at
-court, were on their return from that place,
Hevaemnipntgon
in a pleasure van, when on arriving near town, one of
them, a married woman, named Robins, residing in
Chapel-street, Long-lane, Bermondsey, was suddenly
taken in labour, and before she could be removed from
the van was delivered of a fine boy. Assistance was
rendered her, and after a delay of an hour or two, she
was .in the van to her own residence. The

„li Indeed, the wheat crop is very- much injured, and with-
out an immediate improvement in the weather, the con-
sequences must be serious in the extreme. Whatever
Comes, the crop will be a very short one, and we must
have large importations. I look for a very low, if not a
Is. duty in a few weeks, which will release about 800,000
quarters of wheat and flour. This will be immediately
absorbed, for I never knew the country so bare of wheat.

HATTOIV-GARDEN.

CASE OF MARY ANN KEATES.-It will be recollected
that a few days ago a young woman, who gave her name
Mary Ann lieates, was brought before Mr. Combe, by
police-constable 58, E division, charged with begging,
when she denied having begged for money, but-broken
victuals, and stated, with tears in her eyes, that her hus-
band and three children were at home in a kitchen, at
No. 8, Portpool-lane, Gray's Inn-lane, in a state of star-
vation, and that, on the day before, she had been obliged
to pledge her husband's coat for 6d. for the purpose of pro-
curing food. On a visit being paid at her residence,
the man whom she then described as being her
husband was found in the kitchen without his
coat, with three fine children, the eldest a boy
of seven years of age, the other two, two and three
years. of age, were crawling on the floor, crying. The
Place was destitute of either furniture or food, and they
were evidently in a most deplorable condition. Their
case having been fully reported in the Newspapers,
charitable persons have visited their residence and given
them money, clothes, and food ; and on the day subse-
quent to the case appearing in the Newspapers, Mr.
Combe received an anonymous letter containing a 51.
note, and other sums, fur the relief ref the family, which
he handed over to them ; and he has since received other
moneys for them, which he retained until the result of
the investigation was made known, and, we regret to add,
that it turned out unfavourable. That investigation has
taken place, and we have now to add that they turn out
to be practised impostors ; and Mr. Combe, in discharg-
ing them, refused to hand over to them the remainder of
the money in his hands, but said he should retain it for
those who sent it him.

THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY.
COLONIAL MARKET.
The market was inactive, but holders were firm, and in
prices little variation took place for any article. _
TEA MARKET.
The prices were very firmly supported at the public sales •,
notwithstandinr, the large quantity brought forward, the bulk
was sold, with fair competition, the trade being mostly out of
stock. Company's Congou in demand at 2s. 7id. per lb. cash.
The general opinion is that prices will advance considerably
ere long, there being now but few good useful Teas left in
stock.

MONEY-TRADE-COMIVIERCE.

The silver mines in the island of Sark are now said
to be yielding a lucrative return to the shareholders.
Eighty tons of silver were shipped off last week.
The Leeds Times observes that the decrease in our
woollen exports is most marked and striking in those
countries which may be characterized as corn-growing
countries, and whose most abundant produce our absurd
and ruinous restrictions prevent us taking in exchange for
our manufactures.
