• under a great obligation—an obligation which they never
could hope to discharge, but if they could not pay them the
debt of gratitude they had laid them under, they could, at
all events, acknowledge the obligation, and do honour to
those to whom honour was due.—(Cheers.) It had been
thought well by the committee to name three Members out
of those who had distinguished themselves in the Commons
House of Parliament. They were, as they stood on the list,
Messrs. Villiers, Cobden, and Bright.—(Loud cheers.) He
was sure that assembly would uniie with him in the senti-
ment, that those whom the sacred cause of free trade had
joined together ought never to be put asunder.—(Cheers.)
He should be sorry if, in that or any other meeting, there
should ever be a dissolution of those names.—(Cheers.)
They deserved to be indissolubly linked together.—
(Cheers.) They deserved to be out of doors what they
had ever been in the House cf Commons—indissolubly
bound together, deserving, in consideration of their ab-
stract virtues, equal gratitude and admiration.—(Cheers.)
It might have fallen to the lot of one of those gentlemen—
so persuasive in his arguments, so conciliatory in his mea-
sures, so prudent and sagacious in all his efforts, so lucid
and transparent in his statements—it might have fallen to
his lot, endowed by Divine Providence above his fellows in
the particulars to which he (Mr. Thompson) had referred,
to become by universal consent the acknowledged leader of
their cause in that House ; but never could they forget that
in this great work there were instruments, which, however
efficient other instruments might have been, could not be
dispensed with, and who were an indispensable and necessary
portion of that great army which had to tight the battle,
the triumph of which they bad achieved.—(Cheers.) Let
it be remembered that ere Mr. Cobden was—he would not
say honoured by a seat in that house, Tor he conferred
honour and lustre on that House by taking a seat in it—let
it be remembered that before he had passed the threshold
of that House, there was a man there who, though allied
with the aristocracy, had identified himself with the people
out of doors—(Cheers)—who, he (Mr. Thompson) would
venture to say, had uttered during the last few years senti-
ments more universal in their character than any other
Member of that House besides.—(Cheers. ) That Member
thus voluntarily allied out of doors with the suffering people,
with the taxed and oppressed portion of their community,
year after year led the forlorn hope in that House.—(Cheers.)
He never was overwhelmed by ridicule—he was never dis-
couraged by opposition—he never was thwarted or cast
down by the smallness of his minorities.—(Cheers.) When no
other man could be found to move for tae consideration of
the corn-laws, with a view to their repeal, the Hon. Charles
Pelham Villiers was in his place.—(Loud cheers.) At last
he was joined by Mr. Cobden—(Cheers)---,and as the soul of
David was knit to the soul of Jonathan, so were the souls of
those men united in a common desire to benefit their
country by a repeal of the corn-laws.—(Cheers.) They were
joined by another illustrious man—illustrious from his
single-heartedness, and from the Trodigal devotion of his
fine and ever-growing powers to this cause—illustrious,
from the warm-hearted appeals which he addressed
throughout the country, than which nothing could be more
efficacious, springing as they did from a heart overflowing
with humanity and zeal—he meant John Bright.—(Loud
cheers.) Those men had severally their work to do in the
House of Commons, and they did it well —(Cheers.) They
wanted the biting sarcasm and bright and polished wit of
Mr. Villiers—they wanted the lucid and statesmanlike ex-
position of this question which session after session on one
branch or other of it was given to the House by Mr. Cobden
—(Cheers)—they wanted the fearlessness, the high-toned
rebuke of John Bright, who, standing in the face of a con-
solidated phalanx of opponents, when be spoke of the
offender against commercial liberty, the right of his fellow-
subjects, was not afraid to point his finger across the House
and say, "Thou art the man."—(Cheers.) Those men were
very properly named iu such an assembly as the present,
and with them they associated every one whO in the days of
discouragement and almost of despondency was not
ashamed of this question, and did not retreat from them, but
took his seat by them and gave them his vote, and when
they wanted an ally cheered them with his assistance and
co- operation.—(Cheers.) Amongst them was his Hon. and
Gallant Friend who bad honoured them by taking the chair.
—(Cheers.) That Hon. and Gallant Gentleman had won

for himself laurels on the ocean and on the land.—(Cheers.)
He (Mr. Thompson) need not refer to his achievements else-
where, but of this he ( Mr. Thompson) felt confident, that he
was prepared to admit that he did not reflect with less satis-
faction or. the bloodless triumph in which he took part for the
last few months, than when he was risking in his country's
cause his precious life under the walls of Acre.—(Cheers.)
It was not, he was sure, the less gratifying to him that, in
achieving this triumph, no one had been maimed or made
fatherless, but that this had been a triumph unstained by one
sanguinary spot.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, be proposed the
" Healths of Mr. Villiers, Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, and their
coadjutors in the House of Commons."
The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN, who, on presenting himself, was received
with the most enthusiastic acclainations, said that he could
have wished it had fallen to some more worthy person to
have returned thanks for the toast, for lie was bound in can-
dour to confess that he had not always been as he now was,
a practical free trader. But he never had been an advocate
of the sliding-scale.—(Hear, hear.) He had for a long time
been of opinion that it was better to advocate a fixed duty
on corn to free trade; but though such were his feelirgs, he
had never failed in voting with his Hon. Friend Mr. Villiers
for free trade in preference to that most vicious of all sys-
tems, the sliding-scale.—(Hear, hear.) The reason why
he preferred to vote for a fixed duty rather than to advo-
cate absolute free trade was simply this, that it appeared
to him that it was very much easier and more feasible to
accomplish a fixed duty than free trade.—(Bear, hear.)
Nor was he alone in this sentiment, for he believed that
until the meeting of Parliament, at the commencement of
the present session, almost every man in Parliament was of
opinion that it would be incomparably easier to achieve the
one than the other.-(Hear, hear.) This was the opinion of
every man in theouse until they saw Sir Robert Peel
coming out with his grand p!an for establishing free trade, I
and then every man of liberal and enlightened mind in the
House saw how it would be.—( Hear, hear.) The moment
that he (Sir C. Napier) saw the Noble Lord the Member for
London souring his subscription to the League, and address-
ing his celebrated letter to that body, he immediately saw
that the measure was one which was practicable, and might
be carried, and he accordingly supported it as cordially and
as strenuously as he had ever supported a fixed duty.—
(Cheers.) Nor did he regret having done so, for he was sa-
tisfied that, thrown upon their own resources and their own
energies, Englishmen might enter into any competition with
any nation on the earth, and would be enabled to cultivate
their soil more effectually and with greater skill than when
the protective system was maintained• inviolate.—(Hear,'
hear.) He said this deliberately, for he was himself
farmer, though on a entail ecale, and :he might be per-
mitted to say that he pursued a system which bad been
attended by results much more successful than those which
had attended the efforts of many of his neighbours
around him.—(Hear, bear.) Ile did not wonder
that many of his neighbours had not pod crops,
for they did not take any pains to get them. They
appeared to think that nothing was necessary to be done but
to put the seed into the earth, and that it would grow with-
out any cultivation whatever. Such men deserve neither
pity nor " protection."--( Hear, hear.) But free trade would
call forth every man to exert himself to the utmost, and
farmers all over the country would be made sensible of this
fact, that good crops could not be obtained without the ex•
penditure of capital, and without draining the land and clear-
ing it with the utmost precision.—( Hear.) With respect to
the gentlemen mentioned in the toast, it was unnecessary
that he (Sir C. Napier) should say enything in their praise.
Their transcendent claims on the gratitude of the English
public were admitted on all bands, and even Sir R. Peel and
Lord J. Russell bad admitted that it was not to them but to
Richard Cobden that the praise was due of procuring the re-
peal of the corn-laws. This honest admission on the part of
these two rival statesmen was alike honourable to them both.
With respect to Sir R. Peel, he must be pertnitted to say that
lie thought that Minister had, by the disinterested course he
had pursued in reference to this great measure, fully en-
titled himself to the gratitude and respect of Englishmen.
With a majority- at his back of ninety two, by whom he
might have carried any measure, he had, notwithstanding,
perilled his power, and as the event proved ultimately, for-
feited it, and at the same time- left himself open to the
obloquy and calumny of those who were once his friends and
followers, in order thet be might advocate what he consi-
dered the cause of truth and justice. He did not like Sir
Robert Peel's policy as much as the more straightforward
policy of Lord John Russell, but he was bound to give the
ex-Premier credit for the best motives, and most sincerely
did he hope that the great measure he had been instrumental
in carrying, would be eminently beneficial to the country.
The next toast proposed was "The Champions of Free
Trade outside the walls of Parliament." -
Mr. R. MoORE replied in eloquent terms.
Several other toasts were proposed, and enthusiastically
responded to, and at eleven o'clock the company separated,
highly pleased with the evening's entertainment.

TALLOW-CHANDLERS' BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—The
third annual meeting of the members of this Society, having
for its object the relief of distressed tallow-chandlers, was
held yesterday at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-
street ; John Catley, Esq., in the chair. The report, read by
Mt. North, the secretary, stated that the directors had de-
termined on holding an election of four pensioners in Octo-
ber next, in addition to the twenty-one now receiving the
benefits of the institution, thus making the amount of pen-
sions nearly 1901. per annum. At this time last year the
total amount received was 1,868/, and it was now 2,6241.
The funded property was 2,000/. During the year the re-
ceipts had been 1,5234, and, deducting the expenditure and
the stim invested, a balance remained of 3321. The report
was adopted. Thanks having been voted to the various
officers, the meeting separated.
UNITED MEXICAN MINING AssocwrioN.--:-Yester-
day at one o'clock the half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at the London Tavern, Sir John Easthope, Bart., in
the chair. Mr. Mather, the secretary, read the report of the
directors, from which it appeared that the total returns from
the mines to the 31st of December last amounted to
12,667/. 16s. 5d., and that the total available property of
the company in Mexico was estimated at 255,000/. The debt
due by the Mexican Government, amounting to 289,000 dolls.,
had been recently acknowledged by the Mexican executive,
although from the present aspect of affairs no immediate set-
tlement could be expected. The available assets in London
were 13,777/., subject to unclaimed demands to the extent of
6,727/. 7s. 6d., and leaving a surplus of 7,049/. towards the
next dividend. The report was received unanimously, when
Sir John Easthope, Bart.. and Charles Morris, Esq., were re-
elected directors. John Hibbert, jun., Esq., was also elected
an auditor. The usual vote of thanks was passed to the
directors, and the meeting adjourned.
CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS FROM SCOTLAND.
—A striking instance of the absurdity of the existing coun-
tervailing duties upon spirits entering England from Scotland,
and the annoyance caused by them to travellers, many of
whom are ignorant of their existence, occurred on Monday
morning, when the special train, conveying the pleasure
parties from Edinburgh arrived at Berwick terminus. A lady
and gentleman, on alighting from one of the carriages,
brought out a small basket with them, when they were ac-
costed by one of the Excise officers belonging to Berwick,
who seized, and searched it. A small bottle, containing
about a pint of whiskey, was found in it, which he seized,
when the gentleman remonstrated with him, saying it was
only a small portion he had brought with him for his own re-
freshment, and he was not aware there was anything im-
proper in so doing. The officer however, was inexorable,
and seized also the basket, but this he returned on receiving
the gentleman's name. This case, we trust, will operate as a
caution to travellers, and may prevent many from being sub-
jected to a similar annoyance.—Berwick W arder.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND 818,

MINGIIAIII RAILWAY. —On Tuesday evening an accident of
a most frightful character occurred to a man named William
Hanes, aged 53, a gentleman's coachman, who was coming
up front Wolverton in the train. Having alighted at the
Harrow station, he was about to resume his seat in the car-
riage, and in so doing he missed his footing, fell down, and
had well nigh gone under the wheels of the train, which was
just about to start. The poor fellow was picked up quite
insensible, bleeding from the forehead, and was placed in the
carriage and brought on to the terminus at Euston-equare.
He was conveyed to the University College Hospital, where
it was discovered that he had sustained, besides a broken
leg, a fracture of the left clavicle, and other extensive
injuries, so as to render Isis ultimate recovery extremely
dubious.

WILFUL MURDER OF A CHILD
BY POISONING.

Yesterday morning and inquiry was opened before W.
Carter, Esq., the Coroner, at the Feathers, Wandsworth, re-
specting the death of Mary Anne Barker, an infant, aged
ten months and a half, who died on the 26th instant from
the effects of poison, administered to it by Mary North, a
servant in the employ of the parents of the deceased.
The subject had previously undergone a magisterial in-
vestigation, the result of which was, that the young woman
was committed for trial.

Mary Barker, of North-street, Wandsworth, the mother
of the deceased, deposed, that on the Ist of July she was
engaged in making some blacking, and for that purpose sent
her servant, Mary North, for some vitriol. In the evening.
the servant applied to the witness for some aniseed, which
was to be given to the baby, which was very irritable. A
quantity was given to her for the purpose, and in a few
minutes afterwards she heard the child screaming violently.
The servant, in apparent alarm, informed her that there
was something the matter with the baby. At that time the
child's tongue was swollen very much, the lips an.l mouth
were much inflamed, and the eyes distorted. A medical man
came in, and he discovered that vitriol had been given to the
child. For some days the child appeared to be recovering,
but suddenly it became worse, and on the 26th it died.
Suspicion attached to the servant, and she was given into
custody the day after the poison was administered.
For the servant it was contended that the vitriol was
given in mistake, being similar in colour to the aniseed. It
was proved that the girl had been uniformly kind to the de-
ceased child.
The jury deliberated for half an hour, at the close of which
they declared a verdict of " Wilful murder against Mary
North;" and a warrant for her committal was made out.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT A PAPER MILL—WHIT-
mum!, WEDNESDAY.—This morning the inhabitants of
this district were roused from their beds by the cry oi
" Fire," and it was soon found that the extensive paper
mills occupied by and belonging to Mr. Charles Fuller, in
the parish of Hurstbourne Priors, two miles from Whit-
church, were in one mass of flame. The buildings being
principally of wood accounts for the speed with which the
filmes spread from floor to floor. At this period the en-
gine belonging to the Norwich 'Union from Whitchurch
arrived, and which rendered effective aid ; yet we are sorry
to have to record that the whole of the extensive mills, with
all the complicated machinery and apparatus for making
writing and blotting paper on an extensive scale, with
nearly the whole of the stock finished, and that in the pro-
gress of manufacture, were totally consumed, together with
four dwelling-houses or cottages adjoining the mill, and
occupied by the workmen. One large air drying- room or
house on the opposite side of the stream was saved. The
calamity is attributable to the overheating or derangement
of the flue connected with the copper in the vat-house. The
damage is roughly estimated to amount to from 2,0001. to
3,0001., to which sum Mr. Fuller is insured in the London
County Fire-office. The fire was first discovered about twelve
o'clock, and continued raging till nearly half-past five in the
morning. This property was recently purchased of the Earl
of Portsmouth by Mr. Fuller's father, and had been put into
active operation but a few months.
ANTI-CORN-LAw LEAGUE.—SALE OF EFFECTS.—The
great end of the League having been achieved, the goods and
chattels in the office of the executive were on Tuesday dis-
posed of by public auction, on the premises in Fleet-street.
Much competition was expected, from the circumstance of
the various articles submitted to the public for sale baying
been in the use of the indefatigable leaders of the League ;
oafucsatiloet
this, however, was not the case; for many of
thethe
uvcatliounable
pieces of furniture went under. the.ha hammer

men. Among the articles which called forth the warmest
bidding were, the model of a printing press, presented to the
League Bazaar, held at Covent-garden Theatre; after a
somewhat sharp contest, the model was sold to the highest
bidder for 465. A set of Spanish mahogany dining-tables,
which had been used as a Council table by the Board, were
sold for 13 guineas. An ancient carved oak chair, and
several office-stools, for 235. The chair is beautifully carved,
and is upwards of a century old, and was sent from Scotland
as a present to the League; it bears upon its richly carved
panel the initials "J. R.," and the date" 1743." The hand-
some wherry " Leander," made at Newcastle for the Bazaar,
was put up for competition, and after having reached the
price of ten guineas was knocked down, when the bidder was
non est inventus. The sale commenced at twelve o'clock, and
terminated shortly after four.
THE MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.—The adjourned
in-
quest on the body of Robert Lowthin was held on Monday
night, and adjourned for a week, there being no evidence of
a satisfactory character elicited. The man who was appre-
hended has been discbarged, as the superintendent of police
was unable positively to identify him as being the person be
saw with deceased at two o'clock on Saturday morning, and
the man sufficiently accounting for himself elsewhere. No
trace of the deceased's watch has yet been discovered, but
as he was intoxicated at the time, it is thought he may have
been robbed of it by loose women, and afterwards fallen into
the water accidentally. At present the case is involved in
mystery, but the police are actively pursuing inquiries re-
specting it, and an adjournment for one week was deemed
necessary to afford them time.
THE HOPS, YESTERDAY.--From the Sussex planta-
tions we learn that generally the bine is short, that the hops
are coming into burr, and it seems the prevalent opinion
that there will be a full crop, although the late winds have
slightly damaged the tips of those branches which bear the
most hops. From Kent the accounts are of a similar cha-
racter, the hops having improved considerably since the last
week, and promising more than an average good crop. The
only complaint is tardiness of coming into bine in some few
quarters.
TREATMENT OF THE POOR IN EDINBURGH.—An aged
couple disabled by disease from supporting themselves, re-
ceiving 3s. a month for their support, applied for an in-
crease; their case being recommended by a clergyman in the
district well acquainted with the destitute condition of the
people. On next pay day the petitioners were surprised to
find that, in place of getting any addition to their money, a
reduction was made of ls. On getting the diminished sum.
they expreesed a fear that some mistake had been com-
mitted. But they were given to understand that there was
no mistake, and that if they made any complaint on the sub-
ject their pittance would perhaps be wholly withdrawn. In
this way the poor are deterred from complaining of the in-
adequacy of their allowances, and the inspectors of some
parishes do as they please with the miserable creatures on
the roll; for whom. alas! the new law affords so small re-
dress.—Edinburgh Scottish Herald.
A correspondent, who has returned from a tour
through a considerable portion of West Cumberland, informs
us that he is confident the orchards do not contaffanz
