The trade in flour continues active, and the demand for
every description is good, coarse qualities especially
being still eagerly sought after. We have no alteration
to notice in price. The business passing in Indian corn
is limited, and pricearemain unchanged, 61103 to 61 15s
being the current value per ton. Indian meal is ne-
glected, coarse flour apparently having superseded the
use of the article. Potatoes, we regret- to say, grow
worse daily, and we much fear that by no means so large
a portion of this crop as was anticipated will keep sound.

MANCHESTER, OCT. 13.—The trade during the week
has maintained a tolerably steady aspect, and a fair
amount of business has been transacted in the best de-
scriptions of flour without material variation from the
previous currency. For inferior and low qualities, how-
ever, the demand has continued exceedingly langqiekand
lower prices have in some instances been accept,eileo
effect sales. Oatmeal has moved off steadily, but it„was
necessary to submit to reduced rates. The suppliescfrOszt
Ireland into Liverpool continue to increase, an 4 ivrecthis
week to a fair extent. From abroad the imports,are.oiily
moderate, probably owing to the prevalence of Wdirerse
winds; and from our own coast the arrivals are very
scanty. At our market this morning a somewhat firmer
feeling was exhibited, and wheat was held for fully the
currency of this day se'nnight. In the value of choice
qualities of flour no change was apparent, but for other
kinds rather less money was taken. Oats supported their
previous value, whilst, oatmeal again declined fully 6d
per load.
GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 11. At OUT
market to-day, the numbers mere—oxen, 707; sheep,
3,697 ; lambs, 478; milch cows, 45. The supply was
larger, and consisted principally of Irish cattle. The
attendance of buyers was numerous, but sales were not
easily effected—the prices being nearly the same as last
week—and at the close of the market a number remained
unsold. Best ox beef 50s per cwt, mid quality from 40s
to 45,, inferior do. 32s to 38a. Sheep a dull market.
Best aged wethers, 54d per lb, mid quality from 4d to
4/d, old ewes from 3d to 3id. Lambs a dull sale, vary-
ing from 44 to 15s, current prices from 6s to 10s. At
the close of the market a few sheep and lambs remained
unsold.

Coat, OCT. 12.—The supplies of home-grown grain
continued liberal, the receipts for the week being—
wheat, 4,964 barrels, at 16s to 203 6d per barrel; barley,
7,880 barrels, at 7s to Ils 64 per barrel; oats, 13,164
barrels, at 6s 6d to 9s 24 per barrel. The samples of
Wheat offering are taken freely at fully the rates of last
week. In the prepared article some business has been
done at prices varying from 19s to 214 per barrel.
Holders however aro firm, and look for higher prices.
Barley firmly maintains its value, while Making samples,
wh-ch are scarce and anxiously looked for, are dearer.
In prepared barley we have no transactions to record.
Oats continue to come to hand freely, and are taken
readily at a slight improvement on the prices of last
week, mealing and feeding samples especially bringing
higher prices. But few transactions have taken place in
prepared oats, buyers seeking to purchase at late rates,
while holders are unwilling to submit to the terms offered.
We quote the free on board prices for black oats 8s 6d to
85 9d per barrel; but these quotations, in the present

altogether from public life, and went to reside at When it was ascertained that Sir Robert Peel was
Tickhill, where his remarkable eccentricities in after to pass through Aberdeen the magistrates resolved
life acquired for him the title of " Admiral Nelson " that a suitable expression of respect should be made
amongst the inhabitants of that locality. to one who stands so high in the estimation of his
fellow-countrymen as a man and a statesman ; and
the Council having unanimously voted the freedom of
the city to the Right Hon. Baronet, it was remitted to
an open committee to make the necessary arrange-
ments for his reception, in such a manner as the credit
of the town required.
An elegant banquet was accordingly prepared in
the Town-hall yesterday, to which a number of the
clergy and principal citizens, to the number of 260,
were invited.
Sir Robert arrived in Aberdeen, from Haddo House,
at about a quarter past twelve, along with the Earl of
Aberdeen. Shortly after, Lady and Miss Peel ar-
rived, and proceeded to visit Marischal College, the
New Market, and other public buil(' ings, conducted
by Mr. Robertson of the Royal Hotel.
The Senatus of the University and King's:College,
Aberdeen, at their meeting yesterday unanimously
conferred the honorary degree of Doctor in Laws
on the Right Honourable Sir Robert Peel, Bart.,
M.P., and appointed a deputation of their number to
wait on the Right Honourable Baronet on his arrival
at the Royal Hotel. The deputation, consisting of
Dr. Tulloch, Professors Thomson, A. Scott, and
Ferguson, and H. J. Leslie, Esq., of Powis, one of the
assessors to the Lord Rector, were severally intro-
duced by the Earl of Aberdeen, Chancellor of the
University, who intimated to Sir Robert the honour
which had been conferred on him. Dr. Tulloch
stated that the Senatus had conferred this honour as
a mark of the sincere respect entertained by them
for his distinguished character as a statesman, and
expressed a hope that Almighty God would long
spare him to continue to lend his valuable services to
his country. Sir Robert, in reply, said that he felt
deeply grateful for the high honour which had been
conferred upon him by the University and King's
College, an-I for the kind wishes with which it had
been accompanied.
At one o'clock Sir Robert Peel, accompained by
Lord Aberdeen and the other illustrious guests of the
Magistrates, left the Hotel, and proceeded to the
Town-hall, receiving on his way the adulations of a
large crowd of spectators.
Sir Robert, with the Earl of Aberdeen, and the
other illustrious guests, entered the Town-hall a few
minutes after one o'clock, and was received with loud
cheers.
The customary loyal and national toasts having
been drunk,
The CHAIRMAN called for a very full bumper and
said—My Lords and Gentlemen, before partaking of
the bumper which I have now requested you to fill, I
have a duty to perform which, with your permission,
I will endeavour to discharge ; and, in doing so, I
will take the liberty of addressing the Right Hon.
Baronet on my right—Sir Robert Peel—(Loud ap-
plause)—in honour of whom we are all assembled on
this occasion.—(Renewed applause.) [His Lordship
turning te the Right Hon. Baronet, proceeded.] Sir R.
Peel, when the Magistrates of this city heard of your
intention to pass through Aberdeen on your way
southward, there was only one feeling and one
opinion on their part and on that of the Town Council,
that the opportunity should be embraced of paying
some signal mark of respect to one so eminently dis
tinguished.—(Loud applause.) At the same time,
there was expressed on the part of many of the citi
zens a strong desire that, in addition to the presenta-
tion of the freedom of the city, you should be invited
to partake of a public dinner.—(Hear, hear.) I
am sure that we all regret that your time and other
arrangements have prevented your accepting of this
invitation. It is, however, extremely gratifying to
the Town Council of Aberdeen, as I am sure it is to
this large and respectable assembly, to find that you
have honoured us with your presence, for the pur-
pose of receiving the greatest mark of respect which
this community can confer.—(Loud applause.) If it
were in the power of the citizens to confer any
higher honour, I am sure they would most readily
and cheerfully do so.—(Loud applause.) Perhaps it
may not; in your estimation, depreciate from this tri-
bute of regard, to inform you that, in the records of
this city are the names of not a few men celebrated
for their genius, their piety, and their patriotism, and
that the last individual upon whom a similar honour
was conferred was his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
her Majesty's illustrious Consort. lam desirous, Sir
Robert, on this occasion, to convey to you the sense
which is entertained of your great public services, and
of your high eminence as a statesman.—(Cheers.)
Your name has been inseparably interwoven with the
history of your country, and during a long period
of your public life you have filled many important
offices in the state, and more recently the highest
civil office to which any subject can aspire.—(Loud
applause.) In all these positions you have dis-
charged your duty in `an admirable manner, with
great industry, singular prudence—(Applause)—and
consummate ability—(Loud applause)—and you have
earned for yourself a reputation which has long since
placed you in the first rank of British statesmen.—
(Loud applause.) It would he presumptuous on my
part to attempt to delineate your career, or even to
trace the course of your public services. I have no
intention of doing so ; but I may be permitted to
refer to your early and successful efforts to restore
the currency of this country to a sound and heathful
condition—your unwearied and benevolent exertions
to ameliorate the civil and criminal code—your pro-
motion of education—your patronage of the fine arts
—and your generous and liberal encouragement of
charitable institutions—(Loud applause)--efforts and
exertions which have all had a tendency, in no ordi-
nary manner, to advance the prosperity, and to im-
prove, elevate, and refine the character and condition
of your countrymen.—(Loud applause.) Nor must
I omit reference, although in a single sentence,
to the great and important measures which
marked the period of your last occupancy of
office—(Loud and continued cheering)—measures
which, I have no hesitation in saying,
have placed the trade and commerce of
this country on a solid and permanent foundation,
and which will be found in every succeeding year
more and more to improve the comfort and happiness
of the people of this country.—(Cheers.) Whatever
diversity of opinion may exist as to the ultimate effect
of these measures, there can only be one sentiment as
to the purity of your motives in advancing them, and
of the profound conviction which animated you in
proposing them.—(Loud cheers.) Impartial posterity
will be more able to appreciate than your own times
and your contemporaries, the great benefit you have
conferred upon the nation, and I feel assured that
your reputation will grow brighter and brighter, and
that your name will descend encircled with renown to
distant generations.—(Loud cheers.) lam not here,
Sir Robert, to offer insincere adulation, but I may be
permitted to express what I conscientiously believe to
bo a truth, that a deep feeling pervades the mind of
the public, that in whatever circumstances you
may be placed, in office or out of office, as a member
of the Cabinet or of the Senate, your lofty powers,
your varied attainments, and your great experience,
will continue to be devoted to the interests of your
countrymen, and to the welfare and happiness of
mankind.—(Loud cheering.) gshall not detain you
longer, nor this assemhlage, but I shall at once proceed
to present to you to the freedom of this ancient burgh.
The diploma conferring 'the freedom was imme-
diately presented to the Right Hon. Baronet, who
tied it on the front of his hat by the scarlet ribands
attached to it. Placing the hat thus adorned on his
head, Sir Robert rose, and was received with raptu-
rous cheering.
The LORD PROVOST then said—You are now a
burgess of the ancient city of Aberdeen, and I think
that I may congratulate my fellow-citizens that so
distinguished a name has been added to our roll of
burgesses. lam sure that you will one and all join
in a cordial bumper to the Right Hon. Sir Robert
Peel, the youngest burgess of. Aberdeen.--(The toast
was received with the greatest enthusiasm.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL, on rising, was received with
rapturous and continued cheering. He said—My
Lord Provost and gentlemen—l wish that I could
find any terms in which I might adequately express
my grateful acknowledgement, not merely for the
municipal distinction which has just been conferred
upon me, but for the most kind and cordial reception
which has been given to me on my first visit to this
ancient city. That visit must necessarily be of short
duration, but ii, will leave impressions upon my mind
of lasting satisfaction.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I
came to Scotland in a purely private capacity, for
the purpose of enjoying the pleasures of seclusion
and retirement from the busy scenes of public life
—of enjoying a happy oblivion, for a time, of all
topics which are the objects of political contention,
and of avoiding—you must excuse me for saying it—
that exciting interest which is inseparable from publio
meetings, even of the most friendly character. I came
to this particular part of Scotland for the purpose of
marking my respect for the honourable Lord of whom
I have been the guest—(Loud and continued cheer-
ing)—whose feelings, as he is present, I will not
wound by describing in the only terms in which I
could adequately describe them, my warm attach-
ment to him as a personal friend—(Applause)—my
admiration of his conduct in every relation of private
life—(Renewed applause)—my gratitude for the in-

THE OBSERVANCE of the TRUTH.
" Audacter calumniare, semper aliquid bieret."
In our last number we remarked on the breach of
one of the Commandments—that against false witness
—through which the zeal for another is displayed in
the agitation' against the new arrangement in the
Post office. The Bishop of London has since pre-
sented the very worst example of misrepresentation
that has yet appeared. He does not content himself
with statements of fact for which there is no ground,
but deals besides in aspersions carrying popular
odium with them. This prelate's religion should
teach him the charity that thinketh no evil ; but see
his practice to the contrary, in this sweeping and
venomous imputation.
" The proposition of the Government seemed to
warrant the supposition that little feeling (for the proper
observance of the Sabbath) was entertained on the sub-
ject by those in authority."
Yet in the same speech (at Willis's Rooms) he
afterwards expressed his belief that if Lord John
Russell were cognisant of the effects of the proposed
change, he would at once put his veto on it. In the
first passage, the Bishop
imputes to the Government
et the least indifference as to the observance of the
Sabbath; in the second, he declares his convic-
tion that the head of the Government is so far from
indifferent as to the observance, that if he were
aware of any danger to it from the meditated
arrangement he would forbid the alteration. As the
Bishop then knew the first imputation to be false, he
must consciously have flung out a foul calumny.
Now for truth :
"No one pretended to believe that this measure, if
introduced, would not lead to further changes."
This is flagrantly false. The Post-office authori-
ties, and all who have defended the new arrangement,
have maintained that no further change is involved in
the one proposed. Bishop Blomfield may believe
them insincere; against the rule of Christian charity
he believes the worst of all men from whom he differs ;
but in that case he would be bound, by his own un-
charitable notion of the truth, to aver that they pre-
tended to think what he more falsely asserts no one
pretends to think.
More truth :
" The innovation was, it was true, very slight, but
still, the principle being once introduced, they were quite
sure that an extension of it would follow."
The innovation very slight ! The innovation is
none at all. There is no innovation in the case. The
practice of Sunday employment in the London Post-
office has, long existed. So long ago as when Bishop
Blomfield‘passed a,Sunday, as he publicly stated, in
counting the boats going through Putney-bridge, the
sorters and messengers were at work in the Post-
office. The Bishop talks of the consequences which,
must follow " the principle being once introduced';"
the principle being already introduced, and having
long been established,= of partial occupation in the
Post-office on Sunday.
When we read such speeches as this, and the worst
of the class it certainly is, we feel how wofully wanted
is a stricter observance of the truth. With a strict
observance of the truth, the plea against the arrange-
ment in the Post-offioe, as involving desecration of
the Sabbath, would fall to the ground ; and in place'
of it would appear the fact that the . change will
operate the other way, to diminish most considerably
the amount of Sunday occupation in the Post-office
service throughout the country. But pharisaical zeal
is ever prone to fiction, making mountains of mole
hills, to swell the odium of whatever it rages against,
and to enlist the levy en masse of the antipathies upon
false pretences.
At the meeting. at Willis's Rooms, Mr. Garrett
honestly stated, in bar, to a condemnatory resolu-
tion— •
"He bad that day seen Mr. Hill, and had questioned
him on the. subject, stating that he would use his answers
at the meeting that day. Mr. Hill had stated that there
were on Sundays posts callefl cross-road posts, which not
being able to go to London on Sundays, took circuitous'
routes before arriving at their destination, and by taking
these routes kept a great many clerks employed at the
different stations. The abolition of these posts would
also do away with the second Sunday delivery in the
country, and as to the employment of these clerks on
Sundays, it was always necessary that some should be
employed; Ho had at first entertained apprehensions
that this innovation was a downward step. but after Mr.
Hill's statement, he was led to hope that it was going up
a step. Mr. Hill had stated that he was anxious to avoid
the desecration of the Sabbath, and that, in fact, he had
relieved many from the pressure of the old system by re-
moving the necessity of the reception of Post-office orders
on Sundays."
This explanation had not, however, the slightest
effect on the meeting. The truths of the question
have nothing to do with the judgment on it.—
Examiner.

THI PoST•OPPICH.—The new arrangements pro-
posed for the Post-office have been deferred for a fort-
night—that is, from to-day (the 14Lh) to the 28th inst.
This was no more than was due to the numbers sod re-
spectability of the remonstrants against the proposed
change; although there is no doubt whatever that never
was there such a storm raised about so trifling a matter,
and never certainly was there so much apprehension
Lbroad upon any given subject. We took cccasion, at
the very commencement of these proceedings, to say
that there was no intention whatever to propose either a
Sunday delivery in London or a Sunday dispatch of
letters from London. It was merely to send on some
pressing letters, known as " forward letters," which
coming from one part of England to another, and mostly
arriving,.frora abroad, ,would otherwise remain in the
London Post-office from periods varrying from twenty-
, four to thirty-six hours. This was the "be all and the
end all, of the change which has caused such excitement
through all the realm of interested prejudice against a
plan, which we verily believe to have bees most usefully
devised for the public service, and which has been de-
nounced without being at all understood. As far as re-
lates to the keeping of the Sabbath, we believe that the
leading features of the plan, whilst it only demanded the
voluntary attendance of twenty-five clerks, to be remu-
nerated within doors at the London Post-office, relieved
no less than 1,500 from public duties at the country
offices, during a greater part of the Sundays, where
they are now employed. This is the " head
and front of the offending." It is all very well
to talk of the fine end of the wedge, and of ulterior
intentions, and such other uncharitable accusations,
in which none are BD apt to indulge as those who lay
claim (for themselves) to the greatest amount of Chris-
tian virtues. " All looks yellow to the jaundiced eye;"
but to us the whole thing seems, when properly under-
stood, to be scarce worth contending for. Mr. Rowland
Hill was placed in the General Post-office to carry out
those improvements which to so great an extent he had
sa auspiciously begun. In the course of his experience
and the progress of his investigation he rinds a state of
this gs producing the greatest amount of inconvenience,
for which he suggests a simple and what to us appears
a most inoffensive remedy. Had the Government not
exhibited a willingness to hear, and if approved of to
adopt, the suggestions which his acquaintance with the
whole subject had led him to recommend, they would
unquestionably have laid themselves open to the charge
of obstructing a rational and well-considered reform.
We are not disposed to overrate the advantages of the
change proposed by Mr. Rowland Hill; indeed we be-
lieve that, for good or for evil, it has been overrated
more than any question with which the opinions or the
prejudices of the public have had to deal. Whatever
may come of it, it has seldom fallen to our lot to encoun-
ter so large an amount of misrepresentation as is over-
thrown by the authorised statement of the mil facts of
the case.—Observer.

WHOLESALE MURDERS OF INFANTS.—HANDS-
WORTH, Sa:runDa.Y.—For the last four or five years this
town and neighbourhood has obtained unenviable noto-
riety for the number of newly-born children bearing
marks of their having been deprived of life by violent
means soon after being brought into the world, that
have boen found in the by-lanes and other remote places.
To such an extent has the atrocious system been prac-
tised, that.the local magistrates have laid the whole facts
before the Secretary of State, and her Majesty's Govern-
ment have offered such a reward as will be likely to
suppress the revolting acts. During the past week a
farmer's labourer, named Ellis,.was proceeding along
Cramp-411e, near the Birmingham-road, when he
observed a brown paper parcel in a holly bush in the
hedgerow. On opening it the contents were discovered
t) be the bodies of two newly-born children. The
Coroner of the district, Mr. Hinchcliffe, held an inquiry
upon them, and Mr. Hammond, a surgeon, who had
carefully examined them, expressed an opinion that
they were born alive, and that strangulation was evi-
dently the mode by which they had come by their deaths.
Other facts showed that the innocents bad been mur-
dere.' as soon as iLey were born, and the Coroner's jury
bound as their verdict—" Wilful Murder against some
person or persons unknown." The Coroner, however,
eith a view of doing all he could in the matter, waited
upon tho Hon. F. Gough and Mr. Plercy, county
magistrates, and it was at length determined to seek the
aid of the Secretary State. The result has been that
S;r G. Gray has authorised a reward of 50/. being
offered for the capture of the perpetrators of this atro-
cious crime, and a free pardon to any one giving infor-
mation, provided they be not the actual offenders.
Mr. John Mackenzie, son of the late G. F.
Mackenzie, Esq., of Allangrange, was mortally wounded
on Tuesday, by the accidental explosion of a gun which
he was loading, and died on Wednesday. The melan-
choly event has caused general and profound regret.--

valuable aid which I received from him as a minister
of this country—(Loud cheers)—in carrying on the
public service. I say, gentlemen, I came to Scotland
in a purely private capacity, and determined to main-
tain that character, but your kindness has compelled
me so far to depart from my resolution, as to be pre-
sent on this occasion, in order that I may receive, in
the most respectful manner in which I could receive
it, the freedom of the city of Aberdeen.—(Cheers.)
Gentlemen, I was well aware before the Lord Pro-
vost referred to the fact, that that freedom
had been conferred upon men of the highest
eminence in literature and in the walks of
public life. I was aware that it is a high honour to
have one's name associated with them. I believe it
was observed by one—almost the most eminent of the
distinguished men who have received this same
distinction —I think, if I recollect aright, it was
observed by Samuel Johnson, in speaking of the
freedom of Aberdeen, that the honour had been con-
ferred on him " with all the decorations which
politeness could add."—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, in
witnessing the kind feeling which has been manifested
towards me, not only within these walls, but, allow
me to say, without these walls—(Cheers)—and
which I will, with your permission, now acknowledge
in grateful terms—l say, after witnessing that feel-
ing, I can now say with truth, that this distinction
has been conferred upon me not only " with all the
decorations which politeness could add," but that it
has received that stamp of substantial and intrinsic
value which it could only receive as a token of your
cordial goodwill towards one who is personally a stran-
ger to you.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, 1 shall not abuse
your generosity in giving me this cordial reception.
The freedom of the city of Aberdeen has been voted
to me by the unanimous voice of the magistrates
and Council of the burgh, and I can readily believe
that some who have joined in that unanimous vote
have been prepared to pay a compliment to one who
has held high offices under the Crown, and has for
many years taken an active partin Parliamentary life,
and yet who may differ in opinion—(Hear, hear)—as
to the policy of the great measures which it has been
my duty to recommend. I will not presume that their
approbation of the motives by which I have been ac-
tuated necessarily implies concurrence in approbation
of these particular measures; it is sufficient for me
that you have given a decisive proof, by this act, that
you do believe that, in advising the Crown at critical
periods, and in recommending to Parliament certain
measures, I had no other object in view than to avert
public danger and promote the public welfare.—
(Great cheering.) I will not incur the risk of dis-

Curbing the unanimity and harmony of this meeting
by introducing any topic which has been the object of
fierce contention. You shall hear nothing from me
that can provoke dissent with regard to particular
measures. lam too much overpowered by feelings
of gratitude for the kind construction which you have
put on the motives of a public man—(Applause) —in
publicly showing that you disbelieve and disregard
the calumnies by which—(Tremendous cheering,
amid which the remainder of the sentiment was lost.)
I feel too grateful to you for these marks of public
esteem and confidence, at least in the integrity of the
motives by which I have been guided, to offend any
one of you by introducing matters upon which there
might be a difference of opinion—(Hear)—and al-
though you have compelled me to depart from this
resolution which I had formed to take no part in any
public meeting, you will allow me to adhere to my
resolution to avoid any reference to topics of a con-
troversial nature. Gentlemen, there is one point on
which I might dilate with the certainty of uninter-
rupted harmony and perfect concord. The Lord
Provost has referred to the fact that I am the
youngest of the burgesses of Aberdeen ; but, al-
though I am the youngest burgess, I yield to
none—not to the oldest inhabitant—not to
him who has the warmest personal interest in the
prosperity of this ancient city—l yield to none in
the earnest desire that Aberdeen may long pre-
serve the illustrious name which it has borne in the
annals of this country.—(Cheers). I yield to none
in the earnest wish that she may maintain her double
title to respect, as the seat of academic learning and
the seat of commercial enterprise—in the earnest wish
that the Universities of this city may long continue
to dispense to the generous youth of Scotland the in-
estimable benefits of sound learning and pure religious
doctrine—(Cheers)--that this great city, in its com-
mercial capacity—by its enterprise—by its ingenuity
—.by its industry and by its skill—may, through the
free and unrestricted intercourse in the products
with which Nature has blessed the county—(Cheers)
—contribute at the same time to the prosperity of
her own citizens, and to the enjoyment and comfort
of other parts of the world with which she carries on
her commercial intercourse. Gentlemen, I will, with
your permission, embody this sentiment in that brief
expression which is best suited to a convivial meeting,
by calling upon you to join with me in drinking, with
the utmost sincerity and enthusiasm, "Prosperity to
the City of Aberdeen."—(Cheers.)
The healths of the Earl of Aberdeen, the Lord
Provost, and Lord Claude Hamilton, having been
drunk,
Sir ROBERT PEEL again rose, and was again re-
ceived with vociferous cheering. He said—Gentle-
men, as the period is fast approaching when I must
sincerely bid you farewell, I cannot reconcile it to
my feelings to do so, without again expressing to you
what cordial satisfaction I have derived from the
meeting of this day—(Loud applause)—how deeply
I regret that I have made arrangements which compel
my immediate departure—how firm is my resolution,
whenever I return to Scotland, to make compensa-
tion—(Loud cheering)—for this very brief visit, so
unworthy of the interest which I feel in this city, in
its antiquities, and in its name—and how firm his my
resolution never again to come to Scotland without
repairing to the city of Aberdeen, and exercising the
privileges of a citizen. —(Loud and continued
cheering.) lam afraid that, in thus addressing you,
I am breaking through the ordinary rules—(No, no,
and applause)—but I wish to return my grateful
ackowledgments to those of the citizens who are
not present, and who signified a wish that they
might do me the honour of receiving me as a guest
at a public dinner. Gentlemen, lam deeply grateful
for the intention which they thus manifested. I
shall have no opportunity of meeting with many who
joined in an expression of that wish, but I shall trust
to your kindness to do me the favour of informing
them of my gratitude for their intention.—(Cheers.)
Gentlemen, I must also express my acknowledgments
to the Lord Provost, for the great kindness which I
have experienced from him. lam afraid he spoke
of my public services in much too flattering terms.
—(No, no, and cheers) But if I have gained
the esteem of so truly respectable a man, I will for-
give the exaggeration.—(Cheers.) I now feel myself
bound to you all by the ties of common citizenship,
and I shall feel with you a warm interest in all that
concerns the welfare of Aberdeen. I came here and
met you as a stranger, but I shall depart and re-
member you as friends.—(Loud cheers.)
The LORD PROVOST said—lt is always extremely
painful to terminate so pleasing and so comfortable
a meeting as the present. I have never seen any as-
sembly within this hall at which it was not ex-
tremely disagreeable to pronounce the parting word
" Bon-Acord." And if I have always felt so be-
fore, I am sure that on this occasion I feel it most
deeply—(Hear, hear.) But I trust that on another
occasion we may have the pleasure and happiness of
meeting again, when we may enjoy a longer period of
the Right Honourable Baronet's time. I beg leave,
with your permission—though I know it is disagree-
able—to say good bye; but, as Sir Robert Peel must
be in Edinburgh early to-morrow morning, it has
been announced to me that the proceedings must
necessarily be abridged. I therefore give the parting
word—" Bon-Accord."

The company then broke up, and Sir Robert returned
to the Royal Hotel, wearing his burgess diploma►
round his hat, and taking the arm of the Earl of
Aberdeen. On making his appearance on the street,
Sir Robert was loudly cheered. Sir Robert, with
his lady and daughter, left Aberdeen immediately,
for Brechin, where they were to dine with Lord Pan-
mure, and pass the night, leaving early this morning
for Edinburgh.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE PAIII6II OF ST.
PANCRAS.—On Saturday, at Bow-street-office, Mr. Jar-
dine rose shortly before the time appointed for giving
his decision in the case, and addressing a member of
the authorities of St. Pancras, who was present, said
that he did not intend giving his decision in the case
between the Board oi Health and the parish of St. Pan,
eras for the present, and it was subsequently ascertained
that a communication had been forwarded by the ma-
gistrate to the clerk to the Board of Directors, and to
Mr. Heath, the solicitor of the parish. to that effect.
Thus terminated,. in this extraordinary manner, the
proceedings, which are viewed by the members of the
Board of Directors of St. Pancras, who were in attend-
ance, as a triumph over the Board of Health.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On SatUrchy, Mr. H.
M. Wakley held an inquest at the Thornhill Arms,
Chalk Farin-road, on Elizabeth Lewes, a washerwoman,
aged 50. For a length of time deceased complained
that she could not work, and said that she was tired of
life. She also hinted that she would destroy herself
On Thursday morning she was found, half dressed,
standings in the water butt of the house, her body half
bent, so as to put her head under the water. Verdict—

VERY UNSEASONA➢LE DRESS IN TILE NATT.-011
Friday last, when the Court removed from Osborne
to London, the Superb and Encounter, at Spithead,
and the ships in harbour, excepting the Victory, manned
yards, and although the weather was excessively cold,
and a keen N.E. wind blowing, the men were dressed
in white trowsers. This is according to Admiralty
orders ; but with due deference we are of opinion that
in ti.e matter of dress the arrangement should be left
to the discretion of the Commander-in-Chief or
officer, commanding. White trousers on such a day
were a punishment to the men, and in many cases
(where flannel drawers were not in their possession)
very injurious to health. The Victory, on account of
being short-handed, did not man yards ; but her crew
manned the rigging in white trousers, and cheered as
enthus. aitically as ever.
Lieutenant Jame§ Sabben (1810) died on Wednes-
day last, aged 62. This officer (who had been in
the merchant service, and had witnessed the destruc-

tion of the Queen Charlotte, 100, in Leghorn Rolds,
March 17, 1800), entered the navy March 16, 103,
as first-class volunteer, on board the Dreadnought,
98. Shortly after he had joined he was se-
verely injured by a blow from a storm-staysail-
sheet. In August, 1805, he was present off
Cadiz when the Dreadnought, with two other
ships of the line, was pursued by the com-
bined squadrons of France and Spain, on their return
from the West Indies, whence they had been driven
by Lord Nelson, and was signal midshipman, and
was wounded at the battle of Trafalgar. On Dec.
17, 1806, being at the time a supernumerary in the
Netley schooner, he was taken captive by the French
frigate Thetis and brig Sylphe, and carried into
Guadaloupe. He was soon, however, restored to
liberty, and on again joining the Wolverine was
awarded the rating of master's mate. When subse-
quently in pursuit of an enemy he was a second time
accidentally hurt. Was received by Sir Alexander
Cochrane, on promotion, on board his flag-ship the
Neptune, 98, part of the force engaged in February,
1809, at the reduction of Martinique. Was acting
lieutenant of the Julia, 16, when she put to sea, at a
moment's notice, in pursuit of a large French letter-of-
marque brig, whom she succeeded in capturing.
When in the same sloop, at the blockade of Guada-
loupe, Mr. Sabben was almost daily in action, either
in cutting out vessels, in storming batteries, or in
intercepting the coasting trade. He also partici-
pated in three attempts to capture or destroy the
French frigates Furieuse and Fdlicite in the road-
stead of Basseterre. As acting first lieutenant,
afterwards, of the Ringdove, he passed through
scenes of great mortality—was wounded Dec. 18,
1809, at the destruction, in L'Ance la Barque, of the
40 gun frigates Loire and Seine, laden with stores
and protected by numerous batteries—and contributed
to the reduction of the island of Guadaloupe, where,
during the absence of his captain on shore, he held
command of the ship. Lieut. Sabben was possessed
of a scientific turn of mind.

LIEUT. GRAUAM AND Ma. ELLIOTT.—We can,
from undoubted authority, contradict the statement
which has been going the round of the papers respecting
the suppoasd mistake in passing sentence on Lieut.
Graham and Mr. Elliott, master in the Royal navy.
The imprisonment was distinctly placed in the wording
of the sentence, prior to the dismissal from her
Majesty's service.—Exeter Gazette.

Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Sir Baldwin
Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, with Captain
Ramsay, late commander of the Trrritile si-catn-
frigate, and Mr. Lloyd, Chief Engineer at the
Admiralty, arrived at Woolwich Dockyard shortly
after one e'clock r.M. to-day, and their Lordships
were received by Commodore Henry Eden, Lieute-
nant Robertson, Flag-Lieutenant Gore, and the heads
of the various departments. Their Lordships pro-
ceeded to inspect the Terrible, and remained upwards
of half an hour on board that vessel. The taking out
of the two boilers in the fore part of the vessel will
be completed this afternoon, and when their funnels
are also taken out, the darerence will be about 64
tons in favour of the accommodation in this fine
frigate. The vessel having beep found so efficient
when working with only two boilers, it is intended
to get her ready again as soon as possible. The
two aft funnels and boilers left in her having been
but seldom used, they are nearly as good 83 new,
and will not occupy much time in getting ready for
service.

From the Terrible their Lordships proceeded to the
Royal Albert, NO, and went on board that ves.el
with Mr. Lang, master shipwright, when they ex-
pressed themselves much pleased with her excellent
and substantial appearance. After inspecting the
Royal Albert their Lordships,' with Captain Sir Bald-
win Walker and Commodore Henry Eden went on
