THE BUDGET.
On Friday evening, prior to the opening of the Bud-
get, Lord John Russell gave in that be would, early
in June, move, " That the Howe resolve itself into a
Ccman'tee of the whole House to can-ider of the Acts
rels'ine to the Trade in Corn." The Tories will. there-
fare, shortly be called upon to logislate on their darling
Corn-law. Now, " the quest,.'m is made to turn
upon the interests of the laro or farmers ;
whereat," says their oracle, and it says truly,
" the only safe and rational way of dealing with
the subject is to ask, What arc the interests of the
millions?" If we may judge by the howls .anti the groans
which the announcement of the inteation of the Ministers
ettorted from the Times' " scoundrels," we should think
that they are not yet prepared to legislate ote the Corn-
law, or, indeed, on any question involving the rights and
the happiness of the "millions," in "the only sa. re and ra-
tional way" of dealing with it.. What are " the im•erests of
the millions," when plarNed in the scale against the " inte-
rests" of the hundreds ? Nothing. absolutely no
not even " the small dust iv the balance.' The ho wling
and the groaning with which the Tories rent the a ir of
the House of Commons, on F(..day evening, were, luny-
ever, symptomatic of the fears with which they sere
seized .Lett the success of the 'VW:aerial modificati
an
of the Corn-)aw should deprive them of
Lion of the pull, or, rather, of the ,mouth .tax which
they now levy on the millions." _Let the Minis-
ters bring forward
a bold, a well-c3ns.idered altera-
tionf in the Corn-law ; let them,' having onco brought it
eorwael, take their stand firmly upon it, ee:ther giving
way to the solicitations of their friends nor t o the thre it-
enings of the enemies—let them, in short, in dealing
with the Corn-,. IW, consult " the interest; of th.amillionsa",
and they will take the only course which, while it insures
their own conj.:lune.* in office, can enable them
____.: To
.scattor plenty o'er a smiling land,
And read their hiotory in a nation's eyes."

WELLINGTON FESTIVAL.—A meeting oC the
Mayors and Town Clerks of the Cinque Ports, to try and
raise the wind to pay off the remaining unpaid score of this
concern, was held at Hythe .last week, and on Friday the
Dover Managing Committee ( which includes no fewer than ,
four-and-twenty Tory parsons !) held meetings with the same
end in view, but still the bills remain outstanding; and it is
the conviction that they will remain so until a few of these de-
faulters are pufled up neck and crop in right earnest.
TEETOTALISNL—Three meetings are regularly ,
held now every week .in Belfast, for discussing this important
subject, and taking nanses to the pledge. Already, several
thousand persons, chiefly tr.adesmen, have joined. Above 200,
drunkards have been reform.'d by its agency ; and •no fewer'
sluing the last four years, front
than 160 public-houses closed,
this and from other causes. St-ili ;here are 634 pc-housee
in Belfast, while there are only abOUt thirty places ofubli worship.

POPULARITY.—One of the
larity was felt by Fox on his visit to Paris, K, the applications
of the French artists to take his likeness. lir,idelists, sculp-
tors, and painters haunted him with all the odd s„
ehemence of
the national character. One sculptor peculiarly p.,ersecuted
him to sit for a statue. Fox at last inquired whe.her „the sit-
ling would put him to any inconvenience. "None whatever,

WANT OF RESIDENT S'ZIRGEONS IN TH%
Lownew Hosrri:ALs.—Mr. Baker helioin inquest yesterday
at the Duke of Susses:. Rosemary-lane, on Phillip Meyer, aged'
36, a dock labourer. ..)i;.'ie Meyer., of No. 7, Star-court, Rose-
wry-lane, said deceased wag her husband, and that on Tuesday
morning last, about six o'cloc,!s, whilst chopping wood with a
hatchet, he chopped off the fore finger of his left ;sand at the
top joint. He directly went to S. lhomas's Hospital, where
he said lie was kept waiting an hour betvre he saw a medical
officer, and when he did his finger was.merely dressesi with
common strapping, and he was told to call again on the foßovr-
ing morning._ He again went, and the same species of dressing
was repeated, and nothing more done. Next( The.rsday) morn.
ing he was seized with violent and rapid internal psi,' 5, and soots
after his jaws became firmly locked. Mr. Jenkins, aneighbour-
ing surgeon, was called in. who tried all he could unavailingly
for the recovery of deceased, as he died at noon the sense day.
Mr. Jenkins, surgeon, said that deceased died of tetanus, or
lock-jaw, caused by the injury to the finger. If deceased had
consulted him in the first instance he should have poultice,ithe
wound and not strapped it with adhesive plaster. The Jory
considered that hospitals were left too much to the care of how*
pupils, and they hoped soon to see a legislative enactment
passed that would enforce the residence in our hospitals of
well-qualified and experienced practitioners. They then re-
turned the fallowing verdict—" Accidental death, and that it-
was to be exceedingly regretted that deceased had not received
prompter surgical assistance at. St. Thomas's Hospital."
THE HURRICANE OF SUNDAY.—On ,Sunday
about four o'clock, the wind blew a ,eerfect hurricane at Black-
heath, Charlton, &c., and very cons:derable damage-has beet*
done to the ornamental trees, shrubberies, outhouses, &c., its
Sir T. Maryon Wilson's Park, the Countess of Buckinglians-
shire's, and other gentleman's seats. So severe was the gale
that nine of the most splendid elm trees in the park, and
not exceeded for size and beauty in the county of Kent,
were blown up in the space of two minutes, and were
in that short period laid by their heads in the same direc-
tion, tearing up the ground to the depth of at least
five feet. The gale rose to an immense 1 teight very
suddenly, and appears to have done no mischief, ex cept in the
line which it took from W. S. W., but in that parti,sular line,
for a certain distance, it was irresistible. A person named
Tuffnell had a narrow escape, a large tree havingbeon blown
down upon him in the Woolwich Common-road, leading to the
Dover-road, the upper branches brushing him as it fell. At
the Countess of Buckinghsmshire's a piece of consent coping,
weighing 301b5., was carried fifteen yards from the top of the
eoachhouse, the outhouses, &e., being destroyed. At Henry
Longlands, Esq., a remarkable fine cedar, two elms., and other
valuable trees, were torn up 'by the roots. No damage wss
done in the river, nor have we heard of any life be ing sacri-
ficed during this terrific but, fortunately, shortly e ontinued
hurricane.

gistrar and Relieving Officer, whose painful end we recorded,
entered his own death in the register before he left his hone

DANGER OF PREMATURE INT ERMENT'!"
A few days ago the wife of a man employed at the Lyceu in sy
Mannheim having, as it was believed, expired, and her death
been duly certified by a surgeon, who at the same time,
practises as a barber, was ordered to be buried; but at the
moment of screwing down the coffin, she opened her eyes
and smiled. She has since remained in a weak state, but is
graduallj getting better.
