NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.

Sir— The Council of the National Anti-6;;;;;—League
seize the earliest moment for calling- yot.r attention to the
announcement made by Lord John Rus,ell yesterday, of his
intention to move for a Committee of the House, on the 31st
instant, to consider the Corn-law.

As the decision of the House upon the measure will depend
mainly upon the force of public opinion which may be brought
to bear upon the Representatives of the people, the Council
most earnestly entreat you to lose no time in procuring pm i-
tions, holding meetings, and making every possible demon.
st, atiim in favour of the immediate abolition of the Corn and
Provision laws.

It will be seen that Lord John Russell's notice of motion
refers to the Corn-laws exclusively, and the Council recom-
mend that the question be kept distinct from that of the Im-
port Duties.
I have the honour to remain, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
By order of the Council,
11Ianchester,'11lay 1, 1841. GEO. WILSON, Chairman.

DINNER TO E. GIBBON WAKEFIELD, ESQ.—
On Saturday last a grand entertainment was given at the Cla-
rendon Hotel, by the Directors of the New Zealand Company,
to Edward Gibbon Wakefield, Esq., on the occasion of that
gentleman leaving this country for Canada. The Governor of
the Company presided, assisted by Viscount Ingestre,
Lord Petre, t Hon. Francis Baring, M.P., Mr. J. A. Smith,
M. P. , 111 r. A glionby, M.P., Ale.erman Thompson, M.P., Al-
derman Copeland, M. P., Mr. I hitt, M. P., and other Direc-
tors of the Company. Among the guests:invited to meet Mr.
Wakefield were, Viscount Howi ck, 111. P., Lord Eliot, 111. P.,
Lord Fitzallan, M.P., Right Hon. Sir Hussey Vivian, M.P.,
Right Hon. R. L. Sheil, m_p., Mr. Charles Buller, M.P.,
and Mr. Ward, M.P.

We mentioned last week, on the authority of an
occasional correspondent, that Captain Richard Anthony Rey..
nolds was about to be restored to the army ; but having made
inquiries in the proper quarter, we were led to caution our
readers against taking the on dit for more than it appeared to
us to be worth. A military contemporary, however, improved
upon this report, and added that Captain R. A. ,Reynolds
would be gazette(' to the 14th Light Dragoons last night, and
that the announcement of his *having sold out to Capt. 'rouge
would appear in the same Gcczette. We have made further
inquiries on the subject, anti find that these statements are
wholly without foundation. The authorities at the Horse
Guards have never, we lamead to say, for one moment, con-
templated the restoration of Captain R. A. Reynolds to the
serv,ce, nor is such an event at all likely to take place at pre-
sent.— United Service Gazette.

ACCIDENT AT LONDON-BRIDGE.—On Satur-
day a serious accident occurred to:the Royal Mar-
gate-steamer, at London-bridge, which caused much alarm
and excitement on the river. The vessel got up her
steam et her moorings off the Custom-honse, and at nine
o'clock she got under weigh with the intention of going
alongside the upper wharf, next tiro bridge, to take in pas-
sengers f.a. Margate. The tide we a running up very strung
at the time, which drifted her tow. ;Ha the bridge, and the
usual precautions to bring the ye Ise' alongside the quay
ee:e resorted to;. and as she nea.-ed London-bridge the
order was given by Mr. Allen, hr :r pilot, who was on the
paddle-box, for the engines to be reversed, and go e-stern.
The engineer attempted to perform rfiis operation, but
ti the engines being overheated„ they would not
net, and to save her from going athwart nbe bridge, direc-
tions were given to let go her anchor. The anchor was
let go, but the rope got foul, and it wool d not hold. Di-
rectly afterwards the vessel came athwai t hawse of the pier
of the second arch, and swung round stern foremost, which
brought the mainmaq in contact with the crown of the
second arch, and immediately carried it aw ay. The funnel
next fell with a tremendous noise ; and, lastly, the fore-
mast, amid the crashing of spars and tiro bar, came down.
No further obstacle to the progress of the vessel took
place, end she drifted through the arc h, and was soon
afterwards brought up about midway bet ween London and
Southwark bridges. The companions were crushed by
the falling of the masts and funnel, an.d the fragments of
masts and spars were strewed about the d ecks. At eleven
o'clock the dismasted steamer, which has sustained damage
to the amount of 5001., was taken in tow by a steam-tug,
and carried down the River to the e ngi neer's factory, et
Lirnehouse for repairs. None of the era w were injured ;
but bad such an occurrence happeo ted when the decks
were covered with passengers, a fea,f xt loss of lite would
have taken place. The Mercury, C apt,in Turner, pro-
e"edel to Margate with the passenge. rs intended for the
Royal William.
WALSALL.—The recent ate ippage of Messrs.
Barber and Marshall's bank has add ed materially to the
gloom and distress which were before too prevalent in this
town and neighbourhood ; for though. but little commer-
cial business was transacted at this he ate,, there was enough
to affect the interests of some trac',esm en by the failure.
Among the deposits there is, wt belie ye, a consilcraEe
amount belonging to benefit s.o ' eieties • the members of
which as well as many private individuals, had no
doubt placed their money there induced by the higher
rate of interest which they received. It should he
known that benefit societies, hav',ng deposits in the bank,
enrolled according to law, and h avingt previously ap-
pointed Messrs. Barber and Mar. shall their treasurers,
would, by the provisions of the Fri endly Societies' Arta,
be entitled to a preference overt ether creditors. Mr.
Gladstone, the Member for the borough, has engaged to
present to the House of Commons the petition from the
electors for the abolition of the Cor t.a-laws, but says that,
't beli7ving, as he does, that a free t rade in cern would net
conduce to the welfare of this cour, try, he regrets that he
cannot support its prayer." Thi, j mig,ht have been ex-
ce 1 ; but will it s.tisfy the eke tora a. We believe not.
Foca with the present registry th are is good reason to an-
ticipate that, were an election to take place next week,
the electors of the borough woe 1(1 not again return a sup-
pt
ver of the bread-tax. Se
workshops, monev-clubs, and feral (ale r retitions from
other suci t'ee, pra)ing for
total repeal, have b ea this we
e k transmitted to the honour_
able gentleman for presents kic

In our last we stated that Zephaniah Williams
and four convicts had run away from Port Arthur. It
appears that Williams, who is a n overseer of the coal-
mines, found in the bush a boat, a; Id the convicts Is ho had
concealed it knew that, unless they forced him away with
ti em, they would be ciiscovered ; so they took him Away
with them, and at the first home he came to after leaviag
the remainder of the men, he ga rt! himself up, and is now
in gaol at Richmond. We a-e gild to hear the conduct
of Wihiams, sinct, his arrival here, has bren extremely
exemplary. We have heard 0
mt some of the Canadians
have escaped from Green P rids, under rather estrr.-
ordinary circuinstances,—Hot art Town Advertiser, Nov.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF TILE

NEW ZEALAND. COMPANY

On Saturday the general annual meeting of this Cornralrr,
took place; Joseph Soatritsi:Esq., in :the chair. A fu
n
attendance of Directors, and a numerous body of the Share-
holders was present.' The report congratulated the shareholders
upon the recognition of New Zealand by the Government Is a
p,rtion of the British empire, and upon the.. accordance; of a
charter by the Crown. It stated that the affairs of the Corn' anY
are extremely flourishing, and that with reference to the -fatiour-
able aecounts from Part Nicholson,—to the extensive: roles of
land in 0.14 second (i rjectc:l) settlement,. t.r the choice and
survey oe the site of which an expedition sait,ed from Gravesend
on the 27th ultimo, and to the general tendency to Seleci 'New
Zealand as the field of em igra:ion, it s frit ure prospects are, cosily
satisfactory. Itproceeded to strte that the Company wars impe-
ratively called upon to demonstrate that its measures were not
merely of a sdtith nature, and that its attention had exeribeep
most lively engaged in an enlarged and gem rous'ilW of the
claimsof the brave men who hadundertaken, under ifs auspices,
the arduous 'task of establishing in -one of : the re-
motest islands of the Sou,hern hemisphere a new and
most important dependency of the British Crown. Taking
this vs a principle, ai,d to give proof of the sincerity of its public
spirit, the Directors.. first proposed to encourage, by means of
a bounty, the establishment of a line of packets for letters arid
pss:engershetween New Zealand and the western coast of the
Lthmus of Darien,. from whence it would he easy to commu-
nicate with Chagres on the eastern coast, to which place a re-
gular lice of steam packets, in connection with the Post-officer
will soon commence running. This route would expedite the
passage from England to New Zealand to about 70 days, thus
rendering those islands the nearest, instead of the most remote,
of the southern colonies of the Crown.

The Directors also proposed by the instrumentality in the
first instal C 3 of the Company (though it was expected that such
an institution would soon pay its oun expenses) to establish
seminary or college for the education of youths intended for
colonial career. Amongst many other important announce-
ments it was stated that an arrangement with the Church
Society of New Zealand had been entered into, and that the
Company had contributed liberally for the endowment: of $
Bishopric in those islands.
A dividend of three per cent. was declared, and of er,
ex-
pressing its satisfation at the state of its affairs, and voting its
cordi3l thanks to the Directors, the meeting was dissolved.
"—A dinner was given, at the Clarendon, in the evecing to
F. G. Wakefield, Esq., at which that gentleman was highly
complimented by Lords Howick and Eliot, and other distice-
guished persons present, upon the great success which had
waited upon every step of the Wakefield sys' ern of colonization.

BELGIUM.
MUSSELS, SATURDAY, MAY I.—By the quarterly official
return of the produce of the public Revenue of Belgium. it
appears that the first three months of 1841 have yielded a
trifle more than the like period in 1840. In the taxes on beer,
vinegar, foreign vines, salt, &c., and in the post-office, and
stamps, there has been a small decrease ; which however is
more than compensated by the increase in the customs, and
especially in the receipts of the railways, which now present s
regular and most satisfactory progression in a financial view.
The quarter ending 31st March produced 1,174,000 fr.-; . being
225,000 fr. beyond the amount in the correspondicg three
months of 1840.

We have not the advantage of knowing what sort of'm Sion
the present King of Sardinia is ; but we confess that we lave
formed a very favourable opinion of his Majesty's taste and
esprit, simply from reading an account of his first visit 'tbe
other day to Sardinia, where, upon landing in state, amidst the
firing of cannon at Cagliari, he " begged the authorities not t°
make the harangues usual on such occasion." How many 101.
fortunate dignitaries must ha-ze felt a similar desire, without
having the courage to express it !
A (eplor abl e accident, of which the details are not yet fully
known, happened on Thursday morning in the coalmine of the
Societe des Charbonnages et Hauts-fovrneaux d'Ougree, near
Liege. About nine o'clock an explosion of gas took place in the
mine, in the must of the unfortunate workmen. The cause is
unknown, for the usual precautionary examination had been
made in the morning, before the miners went down • and tb°
ventilation was found to be in a proper state. An alarm was,
immediately given, and assistance promptly rendered from all
the neighbouring establishments, the authorities, and the me-
dical men. The extent of the calamity was not known, but
in the afternoon twenty workmen were still missing, and seve-
ral had been taken out of the mine more or less injured.
On Wednesday Lord Combermere and family. who have,
been Tending some time in this country, returned to England
on board the Princess Victoria steamer, from Antwerp to
London.

The General Steam Navigation Compant's vessel Solo
reached Antwerp from London last evening before five o'clock,
with 46 passengers, among whom whre Sir P. BeDew, Mr-
Walter and family.
Robberies have been rather frequent lately in the file'
bourgs of Brussels ; and some are effected with a dying
violence which greatly aggravates the offence. The sulael
ring at houses where they have reason to know there is only
one person at home at the time (between nine and ten o'clocg-
at night), and as soon as the door is opened rush irs, over-
power the servant, whom they gag or terrify into silence, and
then rob the house. The other evening an attempt of this roe
ture was made on the house of an English gentleman in the
Rue Royale Exterieure; but the servant, although attacked
by three men the instant he opened the door, called out
vigorously ; and his master, who by good fortune had (value
home eat tier than usual, hastened to his aid. After a severe
contest, in which the master and servant received some violeslt
bruises, the rascals were put to flight, and the police is it,
quest of them. A door-chain of iron, which would ena'ole
the door to be partially opened without admitting intrudes*,
might be a useful precaution in houses somethnes left in the
charge cf one man or of females only.—Brilish Gazette,. s
Brussels paper.

KING'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—EarI Howe
has consented to take the Chair at the ensuing anniversary disk'
ner of this excellent charity on the 14th of this month. The
Hospital has proved a great blessing to the poor of the pore
bus neighbourhood in which it is situated, as well as to the
metropolis at large, as may indeed be gathered from the fact+
that within the last eleven months 1,060 in-patients and 5,624
out-patients have participated in its benefits.

COPENHAGEN, APRIL 26.—The bulletin
Wednesday says that the Crown Prince is so far recovered that
no more bulletins will be issued.

THE WEATHER.—The spring is now over---
to-day we commence with summer, and if the season before U
prove as favourable as the one we have left behind, we shall hive
a right beautiful season. Vegetation is in an unusually ad-
vanced state, and it could not fail to be so, for the spring
which is just over, has not been excelled by any withina the
memory of man. The seeds have been committed to the
ground in the most favourable circumstances, and the braird
of wheat and corn is looking very healthy. The grass fields,.
also, are in an advanced state; the blossom is on the fruit,
trees, and if no ungenial blasts occur soon we may anticipate'
a plentiful harvest, both in the field and in the orchard. The'
past week has been the warmest of the season, and there is no'
appearance of a change of weather.—Leeds Times.
LAUNCH AT GREENOCK.—On Saturday, the
Tweed steam frigate, of 1,838 tons new measurement, was,
launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Thomson and
Speirs, ship-builders. Greenock. This being the second vessel
of the West Indian line of steam-packets built at Greenock,
considerable interest was excited as to the successful issue of the
launch. At half-past one o'clock every situation that could
command a view of the launch was crowded to excess. At
two o'clock, while the men were clearing every thins'
the dagger snapped, and away went the Tweed In
beautiful style, into her destined element, amid the
cheers of thousands. In the hurry, one of the shores at
the stem had got fastened by a rope to a timber of the vessel'
and was carried along through a crowd of the people, and We
are sorry to say that five men and a boy were dangerously'
wounded and bruised, and had to be carried home on boards
and in noddies. The boy has since died, and fears are.entet,
tamed that one or two of the men will not recover. The
Tweed was taken in tow by two powerful tug steamers, but
she was too many for them, and drifted down on a schooner
lying at the tail of the bank, and did considerable damage to
the vessel. Another powerful steamer had to go to the rescue,
and by seven o'clock she was safely moored alongside of the
East India Quay, where she is to get is her machinery.
WEALTHY VP-GRANT.—On Monday night an
old Highlander arrived in Cupar from Dundee, on his routele
Edinburgh. After obtaining liberty to get lodgings, and
having received charity to pay the same, no person would
take poor Donald in. He then applied to the police, who ac-
commodated him with a bed. Upon being searched, as is etts-
tomary, Donald declared that lie had "no mole but one Denny.
my dear." However, Donald's word was not taken, and after
being divested of his upper garments, meal bags, sc., he wag
found to be worth more than he intended should be known,
In the inside of the cuff of one of the sleeves of his old eves
was fund three pound notes, neatly stitched there, and in the'
other two in the same manner—in a small purse attached to'
his garter 193. 6d. in slyer—and in a concealed pocket in his;
trousers, Is. 24d., which, with the penny, amounted altogether
to 6/. Os. 94d. When the discovery was male poor Dorntld'iP
" Oigh ! Otglt !" was truly pitiable—his whole covering was;
not worth the 94d. Next morning Donald was elevated on the'
top of the coach for Edinburgh at his own expense.—Edin-
burgh Paper.

_
PICTURE OF A SAVAGE.--I observed a iv...titre
on the opposite bank, and, without being seen by Kim, I
stood awhile to watch the habits of a savage man at Lome,
His bands were ready to st ize, his teeth to eat, any living
thing ; his step, light and soundless as that of a -Indoor
gave no intimation of his approach ; his walk sagges:vd
the idea of the prowling of a beast of prey; eT cry little
track or impression left on the earth by the losleetenittiala
caught his keen eye, but the trees overhelAd .chiefly en-
gaged his attention Deep in the hollov, heart of some
of the upper branches wai still bidden, as it seemed, the
opossum on which he was to dine. TV,e wind blew cold
and keenly through the lofty trees Ott the river margin.
Set that brawny savage was entirely raked. Had I ball
unarmed, I had much rather met a 'licit., than that sinew),
biped; but I was on horseback,.
pistols in my bol-
sters, and the broad river was Bowing between us. 4 I
overlooked him front a high ban's, and I ventured to dis-
turb his meditations with a hal/ 00. Ho thee stood still,
looked at me for about a mini Ate, and then returned, with
that easy bounding kind of step which may be termed a
running walk, exhibiting unrestrained facility of movr-
ment, apparently inconnistible with dress of any kind. It
it in bounding lighth at such a pace, that, with the ad-
ditional aid of the watramerab (a short notched stick),
the native. can thre,w his spear with sufficient force and ve•
locity to kill the emu or kangaroo, even when at its speed.
—Major Mito'nell's Third Lxpedition into the Interior of
Eastern Awit

Since writing %hat appears elsewhere on the
subject of Lord Cardigan, we have- heard, and we are in-
clined to consider the report as authentic, that the Secretary
at War has so far overcome the scruples of the authorities at
the. Horsta Guards, in regard to his Lordship, that they have
,
reluctantly decided that he must take the earliest convenient
opportunity of « selling out." Mr. Macaulay is said to have
convinced Lord Hill, that any further protection of his Lord-
ship by the military administration of the country, cannot
fail of being productive a the worst consequences to the dis-
cipline and well-being of the Army ; and that unless 11 I
Lordship, at length, consents to the step, which circumstances
have so long rendered necessary, a change in the manage-
ment of the affairs of the Army will inevitably be called fort
in a tone so imperative as to make a further resistance to pub-
lic opinion dangerous, if not impos ih!e. The Noble Earl
has consequently received notice to quit ; but is to be allowed
the grace of having himself orip:riated his retirement. The
Sunday flogging affair has proved the last drop to the cup fdl
of official endurance.— United Service Gazette.
STOCKROLM, APRIL 23.—After a warm de-
bate of three. days the Chamber of Nobles had resisted, by

for at least. ten yeazs.—llamburgh .Borsenhaile, April 30.
