(LEFT SPEAKING.)

A meeting of the friends of Mr. Richard Hicks,
the much-respected deputy of Castle Bayuard Ward,
was held on Wednesday, at the London Tavern, fur the
purpose of presenting to that gentleman a splendid ser-
vic4 of plate (manufactured by Hunt and Rosktil, of
Bond•street), subscribed by the trade of butchers, sales-
men, and others, as a testimonial of their esteem and
gratitude for the perseverance, ability, and public spirit
with which he has for many years advocated their in-
terests and those of the community at large, more par-
ticularly by obtaining and personally superintending the
enlargement and improvement of Smithfield market.
The company sat down to an excellent dejetiner provided
for the occasion. Mr. William Sharpe in the chair.

It will be seen from the above returns that the
Government has received a first payment of 25 mil-
lions out of the loan of 150 millions lately agreed
to. Of that instalment of 25 millions, only four-
teen now remain in the Bank, to the credit ac-
count of the Treasury, so that out of that money
alone the expenditure of the week has been 11 mil-
lions. The metallic reserve of the Bank has increased
about 3i millions, of which one has been in Paris,
and 21 in the branch banks. The bills becoming due
in Paris have declined about two millions, and in
the branch banks have increased a liitle more than
three. The bills protested in Paris have diminished
one million, and in the branch banks about half a mil-
lion. On the side of the liabilities the amount of notes
issued has increased 104 millions, whilst in the branch
banks it has fallen off about one million. The whole of
the metallic reserve is now 162 millions to 385 millions
of notes in circulation.

THE RIVER PLATE.
The following is an extract from the Diario de Per-
nambuco of the 15th of June, 1848 :
" Mot.= VIDEO, MAY 19.—General Oribe forwarded
to General Riisas a copy of the conditions that had been
proposed to him by Captain Gore and Baron Grog.
This communication was sent by her Majesty's steamer
Harpy, in charge of M. ltturiaga. Oribe's Private Secre-
tary, who was instructed to give every explanation. The
Harpy was expected back immediately, but did not re-
turn for seventeen days.

"The reply of Rosas, received by Oribe, is said to
occupy 27 sheets of paper, and to have greatly disap-
pointed every one, and particularly those who, though
they were prepared to hear of ulcerations and condi-
tions in the proposals, still hoped that they would
not be rejected altogether. It now appears that
General Rusas denies the right of Oribe to enter into
any negotiations, and accuses him of having broken
through the existing agreements by which he (Itosas)
is the principal belligerent and the only one authorised
to make peace or war. Rosas adds, that if, after these
observations, Oribe persists in his intentions, he will cer-
tainly be returning with the basest ingratitude the fa-
vours received, and concludes by declaring that he will
nut consent to the withdrawal of the Argentine forces,
and that the carrying out of the conditions proposed will
put an end to the good understanding between the Ar-
gentine Government, and General Oribe.

'"This is more or less, us we are assured by a letter
before us, the substance of Rosas's dispatch, the contents
of which he desires General Oribe to communicate word
by word to the Ministers, that they may understand that
he will listen to no conditions but those proposed by Mr.
Hood, with the modifications and additions he (Hosas)
made, and which were refused by the French and English
Governments.

" This note appears to have placed Oribe in a fix, fur
up to the 15th of May he had not returned any answer
to the many applications made to him by the mediators
after the return of the Harpy.
" The financial position of the Monte Videan Go-
vernment had experienced some little improvement.
On the 14th of May the French Ministers resolved to
take upon themselves to provide for the families of the
Foreign Legion, which circumstance very much de-
creases the daily expense incurred by the Government
for these troops.
" When the packet Kestrel sailed from Buenos Ayres
it was currently reported that Roses had ordered General
Urquiza to march with his forces to the Banda Oriental.
" The Spanish naval squadron in La Plata had received
orders to return to Europe.
"On the 19th of Muy a conference took place between
the Ministers and Oribe, and it was reported that the
negotiation had been abandoned."

HOP

INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—The past week has been favourable to
the hop plantations; they are getting forward. A few
lice are to be found, but on the whole they look as well
as ever was known. If they were worth 200,0001. duty
last week, they certainly are worth 210,0001. this, being
now beyond the reach of injury from fly. The districts
are estimated as follows:—
Rochester ... ... 75,000
Canterbury ... 45,000•
Sussex ... 60,000
Worcester ... ... 20,000
Farnham ... 8,000
Kingdom ... 2,000

Total ... 210,000
BOXLEV, AYLEsPoRD, BURHAM.--Generally good,
but not the prospect of growing so many hops as a few
weeks back. The duty must be over-rated.
YALDING; FARLEIGIC CHART.—The bine is free from
any disease, but is not strong and vigorous as last year.
From this cause the planters do not expect so large a
growth. Most think we shall fall short two bags per
acre. Much, however, depends on the weather. The
burr is showing itself, and the plant is forward ; we
therefore hope for good quality—we wish we could say
remuneration for our labour; that, however, is out of the
question, as regards the unfortunate and oppressed
farmer.

MEREWORTIL—The weather of late being favourable
for the hops, they are looking very well in our parish
and neighbourhood. 'rho bine grows very fast, and they
are coming into burr.

EAST 1-ECKIIAM.—Going on very well ; not very full
of binv.

STAPLEHURST.—FavourabIy progressing, the Geldings
slightly affected by the cold nights.
CRANDNOOK.—the cold nights and wind have checked
the growth of the bine the last fortnight; in consequence
they have made but little progress; some very backward,
others have not been doing well of late.
GOUDHURST.—Our bine is luxuriant and strong, and
displays a brightness of colour far beyond that which
was.at one time anticipated.
ItaLvENDEN.—We are free from vermin, and most of
our grounds are doing well, but some of the uld planta-
tions have symptoms of fire-blast.
SEVENOAKst AND ADJOINING PARISHES.---Bine very
good; every appearance of growing a moderate crop.
The mould has made its appearance in the hedges, but
not at present in the hops.
CANTERSUItY.—Tho weather of the nights and morn-
ings of the past week has been unfavourable for the hops,
and mould has appeared in some grounds. Damage has
likewise been inflicted by the high winds. From the
low prices at present prevailing it is considered that it
would not be wholly disadvantageous if the growers do
not get a great crop.—Maidstone Journal.

HOW TO GET REFORM.
TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—To petition Parliament is vain. The Parlia-
ment does not represent the people. Why then waste
ink and paper in petitioning the " Honourable Honse?"
Reform is entreated, and Reform is denied; the pre-
mier asserting that the people of England do not want
it. And this at a time when the minds of men gene-
rally are determined upon certain great principles; when
Tories, Whigs, and Radicals are agreed, and the mad-
ness of party is a matter of bygone absurdity.
Who does not vote the Income-tax an " abominable
thing which the soul hateth?" Who does not denounce
the payment of iniquitous pensions? Who does not de-
mand the reduction of State salaries? Is an aristocrat
necessarily the best of legislators, and must he necessarily
have an aristocratic salary? Are there not hundreds of
talented men who would gladly do the work—do it in a '
less slovenly manner—tor oue-third the pay?
How then is Reform to be obtained? Nothing is easier!
Let the people be agreed as nearly us possible concern-
ing what they wane—Retrenchment, Income-tax aboli-
tion, Vote by Ballot, Extension of the Suffrage; one,
two, three, or all of these. Concerning the two first,
all will be agreed, and if a few unbelieving loiterers on
the road kick at the two last, no matter—they must
" creep before they gang."
Let the electors of every town and county send a me-
morial to their present " Representatives," saying,
" Sirs, such and such are our opinions, and we hereby
give you notice, and bind ourselves that, whenever 11 n
election shall occur, we will vote for no candidate unless
he shall pledge himself to represent and to support our
views."
I need not tell you, Sir, that the majority of electors, of

three fourths of th,•constiluency of this country, would
sign a memorial of this character, and would obstinately
and honestly stand by their determination. As a natu-
ral consequence, the very next Parliament, would be a
Parliament representing the will of the people.
Your obedient servant,
A NON-CONTENT.
Boston, Lincolnshire.

SUSPENSION- OF THE HABEAS

CORPUS ACT.
FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)
POST.—The measure of the suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act in Ireland will confide to the Lord-Lieute-
nant, or Lords Justices in his absence, the power to
arrest, and detain in imprisonment, till the Ist of March,
1849, all persons suspected of disaffection to the Queen's
person and Government. So urgent did the Minister
consider the situation of Ireland, that he proposed the
suspension of the standing orders pro hue vice, and the
Bill went through all its stages, and was finally passed
by the House Commons, before the sitting was con-
cluded. It is to be brought under the consideration of
the House of Lords this day, when the same eispatch
will no doubt he used, and we may reasonably expect
that to-morrow's post will convey to Dublin the infor-
mation that the Bill has become a portion of the law of
the land. An opposition, so insignificant as by its
weakness to strengthen the hands of the Government,
was offered to the measure on Saturday. Eight Mem-
bers of the House of Commons were happily all that
could be found arrayed against the cause of order. The
debate on this important subject will be read with deep
interest, on account of the gratifying alacrity displayed
to support the Crown against the machinations of
traitors, who have not even the common-place plea of
traitors to urge in their defence. It was as truly as
tersely observed by Mr. Disraeli, " that this was not an
agrarian, nor a religious, movement, nor one arising from
a sentiment of perverted nationality; it was an external,
a continental, a Jacobin movement." That the general
condition of Ireland calls for earnest consideration we
have on very many occasions expressed our firm Con-
viction; but treason must first be put down. Legisla-
tion cannot take place in presence of an armed insurrec-
tion.

ADVERTISER.—The proceedings of the House of
Commons, on Saturday, in reference to the Ministerial
measure, will be read with profound interest on both
sides of the Channel. They will produce a powerful
moral effect in Ireland. Out of a House consisting of
215, only. 8 could be found to vote against the Govern-
ment motion. And not only so, but no opposition was
offered to the Ministerial proposal, that the standing or-
ders of the House should be suspended, in order that the
Bill might pass that day. This is a most significant cir-
eutnatance. It will appal the traitors in Ireland. It will
strike terror into the minds of the rebel leaders. They will
stand aghast at the unanimity of the House of Commons,
in dooming them so speedily to durance vile. They
never dreamt of being dealt with after this fashion. Those
who last week were playing the braggart, and with an
unparalleled audtwity defying the Government, will, in
scores of eases, find themselves, before the close of this
week, safely enclosed within the walls of the felon's cell.
Before many weeks have elapsed, we expect to witness
the complete restoration of tranquillity in Ireland. The
vigour and energy which Ministers are now displaying,
in their determination to crush the incipient insurrection
which prevails in Ireland, almost reconciles us to the
past forbearance of the Lord-Lieutenant of that country,

THE SOUTH FORELAND LIGHTHOUSES.—These new
edifices are now completed, and from their beauty and
unique appearance reflect the greatest credit on all par-
ties concerned. There are two—the one called the
tipper, and the other the Lower South Foreland Light-
house. The headland on which they stand is the nearest
point in England to the coast of France, being barely a
distance of 21 miles across the Channel. The upper
lighthouse consists of a massive tower (externally octa-
gon, internally circular), the lantern of which is about 375
feet above high-water mark, leaving a perpendicular
height of the cliff on which it is situated of about 290
feet. The lantern is constructed on a novel principle.
It is furnished with 264 mirrors, which are enclosed on
the side opposite the sea by six lenses. These mirrors,
casting a multitudinous reflection on each other, afford a
strong and brilliant light, being clearly visible on the
opposite coast, throughout the Downs, Ramsgate, and
even Margate and the greatest portion of the Isle of
Thanet. The lamp, which is in the centre of the lan-
tern, consists of one large socket, containing four burners;
and it supplies itself with oil by means of a kind of clock-
work machinery, which, while it pumps up the oil to the
wick, also returns the surplus quantity to the reservoir;
and in case of any defect, or want of supply, by a small
hydraulic balance, strikes a sharp tinkling bell, as a
warning to the keeper. The machinery is very simple,
at the same time curious. The lantern consists of
cupola, the roof and sides of which are composed of
neatly wrought iron frames, apparently light, but suf-
ficiently strong to stand against the most ordinarily violent
tempest. It is enclosed by 48 oblong panes of plate glass,
from two and a half feet to four feet long. Around the
cupola, on the exterior, is a balcony, rendered safe by a
castellated parapet, from which, in clear weather, one of
the most splendid views is to be obtained; giving scope
to the eye a considerable distance beyond the bare out-
line of the opposite coast, and far both up and down the
Channel. Passing from the upper lighthouse, about a
quarter of a mile easterly, is the lower one, standing on
the verge of the cliff. The tower is not so high as the
former, neither is it lighted on the same principle.
Within the lantern are suspended from copper branches
13 Argand lamps, each having a burner of rather large
dimensions, with a concave reflector of the greatest
brilliancy, and about 20 inches in diameter. It appears
that it is yet a matter of doubt which system of lighting
is preferable, the honourable Corporation of Trinity are
giving each a fair trial. The framework and exterior of
the lantern are about the same as at the upper light,
this also having a balcony from which an extensive view
is obtained.—Cunterbury Journal.
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—The 62(.1 Regiment in
garrison at Portsmouth received orders on Thursday last
to hold themselves in readiness to leave those quarters
at a moment's notice; and a similar order was issued on
Frithty to the 17th Regiment in the same garrison. The
62d were inspected on Friday by the Major-General
commanding the district (Lord Frederick Fitaclarence),
and on Saturday morning, at half-past four o'clock, four
companies of that regiment took their departure from
Portsmouth for London by the South-Western Railway,
and on arriving at the Waterloo Station, marched thence
to the terminus of the London and North-Western Rail•
way, by which they proceeded to Bury, in Lancashire,
(and not to Ireland, as was stated on Saturday), to relieve
the 60th Regiment ordered to Ireland. The remainder
of the 62d arrived in town and followed the head-quar-
ters to Bury, this morning. The 77th Regiment, in
quarters at Winchester, will take the place of the 62d in
Portsmouth.

- - -
RESWEARING OF SPECIAL CONSTABLES.—In con-
sequence of a communication received from Sir George
Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
the magistrates of the Kensington division of Middlesex
have been engaged since Wednesday last in re-swearing
the special constables appointed previous and subsequent
to the 10th of April last. The division comprises the
parishes of Chelsea, Kensington, Fulham, Hammersmith,
Chiswick, Ealing, Acton, and Willesden. All who
have presented themselves have been re-sworn for six
months. Many have, however, absented themselves, and
the greater part have ❑ot undertaken the duty with the
willingness they did at first, most of them considering it
at prvsent unnecessary.—Observer.
A QUAKER EXPELLED FOR PAYING TITHES.—Mr.
Jelico, a Quaker, having, as agent for a number of per-
sons m Kilkenny and Tipperary, paid the tithe rent
charge to the various incumbents on the properties under
his control, has been expelled by the society. Mr. Jelico
caused application to be made to the Court of Queen's
Bench last week for a mandamus to compel the Society
of Friends to restore him to their body. The Court
held that it had no jurisdiction.

• Major-General W. Rowan, C. 8., has been ap-
pointed to the Staff of the Army in Canada, in succession
to Major-General Sir R. Armstrong who has resiened.
Major-General Rowan served with the 52nd Regiment
in Sicily, in the years 1806 and 1807. He subsequently
Proceeded on the expedition to Sweden in 1808 ; went
again to the Peninsula, under Sir John Moore, in
1808 and 1809, and was also at Walcheren in 1809,
including the bombardment and surrender of Flushing.
During the first half-year of 1811 the Major-General
was in Portugal, and was present at the action of
Sabugal. From the begining of January 1813, to the
close of the war in .1814, ha served in the Peninsula
and the South of rrance, sharing in the battles of
Vittoria, the Bidassoa, the Nivelle, Nive, Ortheus, and
Toulouse. He concluded an active career at Waterloo,
where he received the Brevet Rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.

LIEUTE;A;TTGOVERNORSHIP OF JAMAICA.—Major-
General McDonald, e. 13., is not to proceed to that island
in command of the troops, and, therefore, the appoint-
ment of Lieutenant-Governor has again become vacant.—
Ibid.

.CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.-011 Friday an in-
quiry, adjourned from Monday last, was resumed and
concluded before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, on
view of the body of Christopher Broderick, aged 28, a
journeyman tailor,
who is alleged to have died of in.
juries inflicted by a man named John Donovan. It ap-
peared that on the night of the 26th of June, deceased,
who was in liquor; was going along the East India
Dock-road, Poplar, when a man, named John Donovan,
came out of a court and knocked his hat off. Deceased
went up to Donovan and tried to kick him, Donovan
then gave deceased a violent blow on his forehead with
a brick-bat, or stone, which knocked him down, and in-
flicted a deep gash over the left eye. He was taken up
in a state of insensibility, and, after having been seen
by a medical gentleman, was removed to the London
Hospital. He went on favourably till the 6th instant,
when erysipelas came in the wound, and led to his death
on Friday last. Deceased resided at a c:,mmou lodging
house in George-street; Whitechapel. Verdict "Man-
slaughter against John Donovan," who left his lodgings
immediately after the assault, and who; has not been
heard of since.
AN ACTIVE WomAN.—On Wednesday last, a
woman named Foley, who had only arrived from Ireland
on the preceding day, was brought to the police-office on
the charge of pocket-picking. She was liberated on
Thursday forenoon, however, for want of suffi-
cient evidence, and within an hour afterwards
gave birth to an infant, in a court off Bell-street,
from which she was removed to a place of
shelter. On Saturday morning the woman, accompanied
by her child, called at the police office to make inquiry
regarding a relation, and on the same evening she was
again lodged in the office, on three separate charges of
picking pockets, which had been committed during the
day. This indefatigable personage and her infant re-
main, of course, in custody till liberated in due course of
law.—Glasgow !Jerald.
The Chairman of the Customs had an interview with
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Harvest operations have already commenced in this
neighbourhood. Several fields of winter-sown barley
have been cut and carried in prime conditou,
and the fine warm weather which we have had
without interruption for the last ten days, is ra-
pidly ripening all hinds of grain. The wheat harvest
may be expected to begin within a fortnight, and,
should we be favoured with a continuance of this
glorious sunshine, we may confidently anticipate an
average though not an extraordinary yield. Circum-
stances were unfavourable to the crop during the spring,
but these are being rapidly counterbalanced by the
present auspicious season. There can be no doubt that
indications of the potato disease have appeared in
several places, but the best information we have-been
able to procure induces us to believe that the tubers are
not affected to any extent that need excite alarm.—
Western Lum:nary.
The weather throughout the past week has beea
highly favourable for hay-making and a large quantity
of grass has been cut and secured in pritue condition.
Another week of fine weather would enable the farmers
in this part of the country to place the chief part, it not
the whole, of their hay under cover. Cumberland
Pasquet.
The weather still continues propitbus. The hay har-
vest is almost over, and good supplies will be laid in for
the winter. Wheat looks healthy and strong, the heads
being large and full, and the reeds tall and firm. Barley
end oats have sprung up amazingly, and look very heavy.
The turnip crops are expected to be fine in proportion as
they were bad last year. The potato plant, we are happy
to say, looks healthy, and large crops are expected.
The accounts throughout the country are very promising.
—Derby Mercury.
PERTII, JULY 15.—During the week now nearly con-
cluded, the weather has been most splendid, warm,:,and
genial, and in every way fitted to bring the crops to
maturity. The crop of grain in this quarter promises
generally to be good, and in particular the oats will be
one of the heaviest crops we have had tor many years,
should the season continue favourable. There was a
slight appearance of rain last night, but to-day the
clouds have been almost entirely dispersed, and there is
every appearance at present of a continuance of warm,
settled weather.
The sudden change which has taken place in the
weather during the last week has been of the most ex-
tensive benefit to the agriculturist, and enabled him to
proceed with carrying his hay in tolerable condition.
The wheat is fast ripening under such favourable aus-
pices, and the increased value a week of such brilliant
sunshine adds to the crop, and consequently to the
wealth of the country, is almost incalculable, besides
its advantage in bringing harvest time forward. There
are as usual very conflicting accounts as to the pro-
bable yield, and even the best authorities differ; some
pronounce it to be far below, otrs a fair average
one. We are inclined to beliei6 that it will be a
fair crop, and, if the present weather holds, of ex-
cellent quality. There are few complaints of sum-
mer corn, but the crop of barley is not equal to that
of last year. Reaping is expected to commence on
the forward land in this neighbourhood on Monday
week, but this must of course depend upon the weather
which may intervene. We hear various reports about
the potato disease, and there can be no doubt of its
existence, bat not in many cases. A letter in the limes,
by Mr. Hewitt Davis, and which had an alarming ten-
dency, has called forth many replies, the majority of
which deny that there are any grounds for apprehension.
—Berkshire Chronicle.

GAME CERTIFICATES.—The Collectors of Assessed
Taxes have received official notices not to issue a receipt
fur game certificates for any party whose residence is not
in the parish where the collector resides This is quite
right, fur.obvious reasons.
Tan SUBTERRANEAN FIRE NEAR SHEFFIELD..--
Some account of this fire appeared in our paper lately.
A correspondent of the ,Nkellield Independent gives some
further particulars. He says, " Old people whom I have
known well, remembered a fire which was burning under
the Red Hill and adjacent fields near a century siece.
Some of them, who were living since the modern outbreak,
fully believed this fire to be nothing but a continuation of
the former one. Be this as it may, it is certain that for
about 80 years past the fire has been undermining the
ground ori which many of the habitations stand. Some-
times, for the space of a year or more, various indi-
vidual houses have been so dreadfully filled with
black or choke damp, that it has been impossible
to breathe unless the door was kept wide open.
Many of the cellars have been closed for years.
About twenty years since a portion of the streets
sunk immediately after a loaded waggon had
passed over the spot, exposing the hollow on which the
people walked and dwelt. During one considerable
period the water drawn from the principal well of the
village came up, not warm merely, but positively hot.
From 15 to 25 years ago, both in winter and summer, as
soon as the evening closed in, flame was seen to issue
from various fissures in particular fields and gardens.
A few years since an old farm-house and outbuildings
had suffered so much by being undermined, that it was
deemed advisable to take them quite down, and the ma-
terials were made use of in the building of two neat
cottages. These were erected on ground where it was
thought the fire had long done its worst, and where the
new buildings would stand safely. Though not more than
six or eight years since the cottages are tumbling down,
one of them having been already prudently aban-
doned by its inhabitants. Some of your readers
may recollect that during the recent prevalence
of typhus fever, Nether Ilaugh was more than
once named in your paper, in connexion with that
dreadful scourge. There was not, perhaps, one village
in the whole country which, for the number of its inha-
bitants, suffe.red more. Ido not recollect to have seen
the opinion expressed in print, but I never doubted that
the chief cause of the prevalence of fever in Nether
Haugh was the bad air engendered in the houses by the
subterranean fire."
A FEMALE SaiLoa.—Yesterday a good-looking
sailor youth (as all in court took the prisoner to be),
attired in a blue jacket, striped blue shirt, &e., was
placed at the bar of the police-court, charged by a
stout whiskered seaman, named James Kitson, with
having robbed him in a lodging-house of 8!. Mr.
Parkinson, the Bridewell-keeper, intimated before
the case was gone into, that the prisoner turned
out to be a young woman. The complainant then
said that prisoner had accosted him on Saturday in the
street, asking his assistance, as he was in distress, and
wanted a ship. Witness took him and gave him his
breakfast, and afterwards his dinner, at Mr. Parker's
cookshvp, Wapping. It appeared that complainant had
afterwards introduced prisoner to some of his ship-
mates, and that the whole had been drinking together
rather cheerfully during the day. At night Jack in-
vited his young companion to accept of part of his bed,
and they slept together. He had previously given the
prisoner a jacket, so as to appear more tidy than before.
In the morning, the sailor somehow suspected the sex of
his partner, and missing his money went down stairs to
the landlord, and told him there was, he believed, a
woman in his room, who had robbed him. The land-
lord laughed, and said he must be mistaken, and had
perhaps bad " the horrors." The prisoner was not,
it appears, really discovered to be a female until
taken into custody. Seven shillings were found on
the prisoner, and she said the jacket was given to
her by the complainant, and she had found the
money in it. Mr. Parkinson said he had learned that
prisoner's mother bad gone from Manchester by a packet
ship from this port to New York, that they had some-
how missed each other in coming here, and that the pri-
soner had come in disguise, in hopes of working her way
out as a sailor. Mr. Rushton remanded her. She gave
her name as Mary Ann Martin.—Liverpool Standard.
AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.—A most extraordi-
nary scene occurred at Nant turnpike-gate, near Llan-
getni. on Friday, the 30th ult. On that day Hylton's
collection of wild beasts, in caravans drawn by several
horses, came from Llangefni to the turnpike-gate, and 6d.
for each collar was demanded as toll. When this
claim was paid, the gate-keeper refused to let the
collection go through unless 2d. more for each collar was
paid, upon the ground that only 4d. had been paid for
each when they passed on their way to Llanerchymedd.
The person in custody alleged that whatever bad been
demanded had been paid at that time, and that if a fur-
ther charge had been then made it would have
been paid ; but that the property had since
that time changed hands by being• sold to another
party when at .Llanerchymedd. The gate-keeper was
determined not to open the gate, and the keeper of
the wild beasts was fully as determined to pass
onward; and each party loudly insisted upon the cor-
rectness of his own view of the cam: A respectable
farmer who happened to be in the adjoining field
was referred to as to the respective rights of the
parties. The clause in the Turnpike Act was clear
as to 6d. a collar being chargeable where the carriage
drawn was upon springs, but the wild beast man insisted
there was nothing in the Act to compel him to pay toll for
another man's property or beasts. The pikeman called to
his assistance the lime- burnersand carters from the adjoin-
ing quarries, and the caravan man summoned his trusty
keepers. Words grew louder and blows fell faster,
until at
length the battle became general ; bloody hands and
broken heads were seen and felt ; staves and butt ends
of the carter's whips were met with long poles
and short truncheons. The issue of the battle was
for a considerable time doubtful. The pikeman's
wife and children were crying and roaring in the
house, whilst the wild beasts in their respective dens
were sending forth terrific yells. The elephant, after
removing the gate, was unchained, camp to the rescue,
decided the day, and caused the discomfited Monaites to
fly in great disorder towards Glynhwrfa, leaving the
pikeman and his gate at the mercy of the victors, who
subsequently passed onwards with lighted pipes and
flying colours.—Chester Courant.
THE REMOVAL OF THE COLONNADE IN THE
REGENT'S QUADRANT.—Lord Morpeth and Mr. Parker
have prepared and brought in a Bill to empower the
Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests to
remove the unpopular colonnade in the Regent's Qua-
drant. The preamble sets forth that whereas the colon-
nade, commonly called the Quadrant, in Regent-street,
is inconvenient and injurious to the trade of the inhabi-
tants and occupiers of the houses and shops therein, and
it is therefore expedient that the Commissioners of her
lajesty's Woods and Forests shall be empowered to re-
move the same, and also to make such architectural
alteration and additions in and to the front elevations of

the houses as shall be desirable, it may be lawful for the
said Commissioners to take down the whole of the
columns, with the entablatures and balustrades above
the same, and the beams, roof, ceiling, and skylights
over the toot-pavements, and all the materials forming
the colonnade, and to dispose of the same. The Bill
further provides that balconies may be erected in front
of the houses, and that a suitable pavement shall be laid
down. The expense is not to exceed 8,5001., the same
to levied by a rate not to exceed eight per cent. on the
total cost. All the houses in the Quadrant are to be
assessed to the rate, and credit is to be given for the suet
realised by the sale of the old materials,

THE LAW- OF MARRIAGE.
It will be remembered by our readers that en the 28th
of June, 1847, lo r Majesty was pleased to appoint a
Special Commission " to inquire into the state and opera-
tion of the law of marriage, as relating to the prohibited
degrees of affinity, and to marriages solemnized abroad,
and in the British colonies." The Commissioners so
appointed consisted of the Lord Bishop of Lichfield, the
Hon. James Stuart Wortley, M.P., Sir Stephen Lush-
ington, D.C.L., Mr. Anthony Richard Blake, Sir Edward
Vaughan Williams, and Mr. Andrew Rutherford.
The first report to the Queen's most excellent Ma-
jesty is embodied in the shape of a blue book, including
the evidence of the witnesses examined, the appendices,
&c. The report itself occupies a space of 10 pages.
The commissioners first directed their attention to the
question of marriages within the prohibited degrees of
affinity, and to the law affecting such marriages, pi inei-
pally confining themselves to the case of marriage with
the eister of a deceased wife. The legality of such mar-
riage is notoriously the essence of the question at issue.
The Commissioners find, from their minute investiga-
tion of the laws of foreign countries, that marriages of
this kind are permitted, by " dispensation" or otherwise,
in nearly all the continental states of Europe.
It appears that in the Romish Church they are pro-
hibited as matters of discipline, but that such prohibition
may be, and fri quently is, dispensed with by the Pope,
or by others acting under his authority; the'principle of
this dispensation being that the prohibition has been im-
posed by the church, and not by the law of God; and
that, consequently, the church is as free to remove as it
was to ordain the prohibition.
In Protestant countries such marriages are likewise
permitted, and solemnized by dispensation or license,
under ecclesiastical or civil authority.
I lin the United States of America alliances between a
a man and the sister of a former wife are not only
deemed lawful, in a civil sense, but also in a moral,
religious, and Christian sense ; and, moreover, as ex-
ceedingly praiseworthy. A great judicial authority in
that country—we allude to Judge Story—declares,
" Nothing is more common in all the states of America
than second marriages of this sort, and, so far
from being doubtful as to their moral tendency, they
are, amongst us, deemed the very best sort of marriages.
In my whole life I have never heard the slightest sug-
gestion against them, ;founded on moral or domestic
considerations."
Turning to the Greek church, we find these mar-
riages stigmatized as incestuous, and of course disal-
lowed as utterly unlawful. It seems, however, that
such marriages are not illegal in Russia, if the con-
tracting parties be without the pale of the Greek
church.
The opinion prevalent amongst the Jews is favourable
to these unions, and, so far from condemning such con-
nexions, the usual time prescribed for remaining in a
state of widowhood is abbreviated in cases where there
are children.
The various bodies of English Dissenters do not ap-
pear to hold any opinion based on the assumption that
these marriages are interdicted by Holy Writ, the sole
authority which these respectable classes of the
Christian community admit.
The Commissioners were naturally anxious to ascer-
tain the opinions of the clergy of the Established Church
in England on the two questions of principle and expe •
diency-1. Whether the marriage with the sister of a
deceased wife is prohibited by the Divine law ; or, 2, if
not, whether it ought to be interdicted on any other
ground ?
The result of this inquiry was unsatisfactory. The
clergy are so divided in opinion on both questions that
it is impossible to put forth any judicial dictum as the
expression of the sentiments entertained by so numerous,
It may be remembered that the Act of sth and 6th of
William IV. had a twofold bearing—the one retro-
spective, the other prospective. The effect of the former
was to legalise the marriages already contracted, as
faits accomplis, whereas the latter provision declared all
such marriages for the future to be null and void, thus
giving ample notice of the illegality and the attendant
consequences to all parties interested.
important, and authoritative a body. The majority,
especially in Ireland, appear to object to the marriages
in question, but on various grounds; and in Scotland the
opinion of the Presbyterian ministers is decidedly ad-
verse to them.
The Commissioners regret the utter failure of this
prospective enactment. It has not prevented numerous
marriages with the sisters or nieces of deceased wives.
" On a low computation," says the report, " such mar-
riages must amount to thousands, although, from the
nature of the connexion and the secrecy observed, their
number cannot be accurately ascertained. The evil is
great, and it appears to be increasing."
The commissioners proceed to analyze the cause of the
failure of the statute to prevent these marriages. Some
of those who object to them rely less upon Scriptural or
ecclesiastical authority (which would at once decide the
question at issue) than upon certain arguments of expe-
diency very commonly urged in familiar arguments on the
subject. These refer to the delicate relations which exist
between the sister of the wife and her brother-in law,
considered tantamount by some to a tie of consanguinity,
and, consequently, branding any future congenial con-
nexion as incestuous. Others, again, with less delicacy,
suggest that " if a possibility exist that hereafter the
husband and the sister-in-law might become husband
and wife, room would be allowed for the excitement of
carnal passions tending to criminal intercourse."
The supporters of such marriages, on the other hand,
contend that the marriage with a wile's sister, so fur
from being prohibited, is inferentially and analogically
permitted by the law of God (vide xviii. Leviticus, 18;
xxv. Deuteronomy, 5), and. on the ground of expediency,
they urge that such marriages ought to be permitted for
the advantage of the motherless children, whose maternal
aunt is naturally more adapted to fill the part of an
affectionate stepmother than a stranger.
The commissioners, however, as philosophers and men
of the world, reject these arguments as the cause of the
production ,or prevention of the marriages in question.
The common foundation of such alliance is stated to be
the familiar intercourse necessarily prevailing between
a man and his sister-in-law, when, on the decease of his
wife, she assumes her sister's place as the guardian of
her bereaved children. And here the grand argument
of natural impulse urges itself upon our notice. Upon
this interesting question the commissioners offer the
following observations and opinions, with which they
conclude their report :—;
"It may be advisable to consider this part of the
subject with reference to the community, as divided into
three classes—the most elevated in rank and fortune ;
.the next class ; and the rest of the community.
" Few of these marriages are found to have taken
place among persons of a bight station. But we do not
attribute this to any stronger sense of religious or
moral obligation than in other classes. On the contrary,
the evidence shows that where circumstances have
placed persons of elevated rank in situations likely
to create such attachments, connexions of this kind
do take place, as amonk other ranks. Probably the
true reason why such marriages are rare lin the
highest class are,—l, that the number of such class
are small; 2, that in such class a sister less often
occupies the place of a deceased wife. Wealth pro-

relations
have much greater facility of seeing the children, and
superintending their education, without actual resi-
dence under the father's roof. Even under the roof
the society is less closely domestic and private, and the
desire of not offending the opinions or scruples of the
world, be they right or wrong, is stronger. These con-
siderations, we think, account for the small number of
marriages of this kind in high life, without supposing
that the feelings would be different, or differently go-
verned, if the circumstances were the same.
.• In the next rank of life, the evidence shows that
these attachments and marriages are frequent ; and
we believe frequent in proportion to the occur-
rence of the circumstance which would naturally
give rise to them ; that is, in proportion to the
number of cases where the sister of a deceased wile
takes up her residence under the husband's roof,
the parties not having passed the middle age. We find
that the relations and friends of both parties have in some
cases readily assented to the contraction Of such mar-
marriages ; and in other cases, where a contrary feeling
may have originally existed, they have not hesitated,
upon a consideration of the subject, to sanction, with their
approval the connexion already formed.
" We do not find that the persons who contract these
marriages, and the relations and friends who approve
them, have a less strong sense than others of religious
and moral obligation, or are marked by laxity of conduct.
" Among the poorer classes of society, we believe that
in a great majority of cases where the sister of the
deceased wife becomes on inmate of the house, and
the parties are not advanced in age, the end of
such a stuto of things is marriage or concu-
binage. The constant and familiar ineercourse,
the want of separate aocommodation, and the entire
privacy, give rise to feelings which, in tho ordinary
course of things, naturally will produce the conse-
quences which we have stated. When a poor
man with' a family has the misfortune
_to lose his

wife, some assistance for his domestic concerns

becomes indispensable; assistance, too, for which
he cannot afford to pay, and which must be rendered im-
mediately. All circumstances and all feelings point to
the sister of the deceased wife ; and when once she be-
comes a permanent inmate, the result, in this class, is
almost inevitable ; cohabitation with, or without, the
form of marrige.
" On a review of the subject, in all these its different
bearings, and effects, we are constrained, not only to
express our belief stat the statute 5 and 6 William IV.
has failed to attain its object, but also to express our
doubt whether any measure of a prohibitory character
would be effectual. These marriages will take place
when a concurrence of circumstances give rise to mu-
tual attachment; they are not dependent on legislation.
" We are not inclined to think that such attachments
and marriages would be extensively increased in number
were the law to permit them ; because, as we have said,
it is not the state of the law, prohibitory or persuasive,
which has governed, or, as we think, ever will effectually'
endeavoured, faithfully and impartially, go.v,e‘rlii_ethheamve.
set forth the result of our investigation ; to
or what measure should be introduced for a change Orbfaitih'ye
law, either on the side of relaxation, or stricti:lrzurroe.:,bi-
tion, we must leave to the wisdom of the Lei.
