BRADFORD (YORKSHIRE) AD-
DRESS TO SIR R. PEEL, BART.
The following address, with 1,100 signatures attached

" Sir,—We, the undersigned merchants, bankers, and
professional gentlemen, worsted-spinners, manufacturers,
wool-staplers, and other tradesmen of the town of Brad-
ford, in the west riding of the county of York, beg to
express to you our deep regret that in passing through
Parliament your great measures of commercial reform,
you should have been assailed in the most virulent man-
ner, even to the disregard of the decencies of life, and
beg especially to mark our strong disapprobation of the
wanton, malicious, and slanderous attack made upon
your character with respect to the late Mr. Canning,
but which you so ably repelled, to the satisfaction of
every thinking man in the country.
" We be 4 to assure you that the measures you have
brought forward for the relief of trade and the comfort
of the industrial classes, are considered by men of all
parties here as among the greatest and most beneficial
ever proposed by any Minister of the Crown, and tend-
ing to increase the stability of the empire and the hap-
piness of the people.
" We present you with our heartfelt thanks for the
manifold sacrifices, both private and public, which you
have made in carrying through Parliament, with un-
wearied zeal, and in spite of the most formidable opposi-
tion, the great schemes of commercial policy which you
conscientiously believed would be for the general benefit
of our country and the welfare of the many.
" It is our fervent hope that your valuable life
long, in health and happiness, be spared, to carry out
other great objects for the amelioration of the condition
of your grateful countrymen, and advancing the pros-
perity and well-being of the great empire over whose,
destinies you have so ably presided as first Minister of
the Crown.

SCIENCE.—The discovery of a stream of electricil rA
a jet of steam has attracted many in the endeavour to detect
its presence and influence elsewhere. In several experimal
recently gone into upon a variety of woollens, the fisbn"
made from the Alpaca exhibited the presence of electrical
in a remarkable degree. The healthful nature of the Llama
cloth, beiug partly hair and partly wool, may thus be a,c:
counted for, and the strong recommendations issued by ,
introducers and manufacturers. the Messrs. Nicoll, of Begat'.
street, may be the more relied upon.
BATH.—CAUTION TO BATHERS. —A man, Darned
John Abbott, who lodges in Kingsmead-square, was bathing'
a few days ago, in the river Avon, when he received twl"
wounds, one in the sole of the foot, the other over the lance'
joint, from some fragments of glass, which happened to
at the bottom if the water. So much inflammation ensue."
that he is now an in-patient of the United Hospital, where'
however, he is doing well.—Bath Herald.
A PROBLEM FOR THE AMERICAN CHURCHES.
During 50 years of missionary labour, 400,000 pagans ho/
been gathered into the fold orChristianity under the preset;
ing of American missionaries. The average increase of slag
in this country is about 70,000 a year, whom to teach to ret
the Bible is a penal offence. Now. if 40,000 pagans or;
annually evangelised abroad, and 70,000 native Americo!
heathemsed at home, required the time when ,4 the 1010„:
ledge of God shall cover the earth as the waters the sea."

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.—The
men will be interested in hearing that the prospects of"On
ensuing grouse season are of the most flattering kind• eh
e,
Drummaelidair-hill on the confines of Athol, and
highest and latest muir in the Highlands, the young gr_..°P.
were last week strong enough to find their way to the ba"—ri
under the guidance of the parent birds, and covien °e
started, with from eight to twelve in each, every We a.l 0
forty yards, On more sheltered grounds the birds are Iltis
forward, and are likely to be strong on the wing by the
of August. As the weather during the period of incubats°,
was extremely favourable the covies are everywhere nulfe
rous, and the showers which have fallen within the Wt. sg•
days on the hills have fallen as seasonsbly for the grous"tbe-
the corn crops. On the whole, present prospects are
md
moat favourable of any season, at the same period, for
years, although the last four or STo have beta uslif:o4 •
good.—Perthshire aUrittir,
