HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We have no change to report

this week in any department of trade. Everything
continues to manifest the same depression, and there
does not appear to be any prospect of a speedy im-
provement.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We are sorry to report
that there is no improvement to-day. All parties re-
gret the present disturbed aspect of the country, feeling
assured that business would improve, and the operatives
be benefited, could the excitement be calmed that now so
generally prevails.
LEEDS, TIIESDAY.—There has been scarcely anything
doing to-day at our cloth halls, which were thinly attended,
owing to the holidays. Wool is falling in value, and
many operations aro suspended until something like
stability in prices is again established.--Manchester

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 1848.

The expected dissolution of the Repeal Association
has not taken place) and nothing has as yet been de-
finitively settled as to the contemplated coalition be-
tween Old and Young Irelanders. The terms for the
proposed reunion were submitted to the meeting at
Conciliation Hall on Monday, but no decision was
arrived at. Mr. O'CoNNELL has manifest doubts as
to the practicability of any arrangement, and he de-
s'isea to try the effect of one more appeal to the
country, before he resigns the leadership of even a
peztion of the repeal body, and consents to the aban-
donment of the moral-force principle, which had
been so successfully acted on for a long series of
years by the departed Liberator, whose maxims
wand opinions he, at least, is bound to respect
and most religiously to observe. Every thought and
feeling of his lamented father was opposed to the
physical force doctrines. He regarded, and justly,
as the worst enemies of his country all those who
ould endeavour to inflame the too easily excited
pa:lsions of the people to acts of violence and illegality.
hlis agitation was strictly a peaceful one, and he ever
declared that he would not accept the realisation' of
Isis most sanguine aspirations if that realisation was
to be stained and defiled by the blood of a
single one
of his countrymen shed in its attainment. Alas! he
310 longer remains to guide and control the fierce
Nosions that have been awakened, the sanguinary
di (position that has been aroused by reckless and evil
dill used men, who, prompted by their own mischievous
prop& 'nsitie; and actuated by an insane thirst for
notoriety, would fain persuade the people to abandon
the con rse by which they achieved so many bloodless
triumph s, and to adopt a line of conduct which
can only _lead to bloodshed and misery. Can the son

of such a father ally himself to those whose doctrine;

The Indipendenza e Lega of Palermo of the 26th

day, of 800 volunteers for the Neapolitan coast, for
the purpose of aiding the insurrectionary movement
against FERDINAND. This chosen band first assembled
in the cathedral to receive the divine blessing, and
afterwards embarked, preceded by a military band
and amid the enthusiastic cheers of an immense
multitude. Many individuals were with difficulty
prevented from joining them, though unprovided
with arms.

Advices have been received from Naples, via Leg-

state of insurrection, that the insurgents are literally
pouring in from the provinces, and that the KING is

EAST INDIA COMPANY.
(THIS DAY.)
A Special Court of the Proprietors was held to-day
at the East India House, on the requisition of Mr. J. A.
Smith, M.P., and Mr. D, C. Guthrie, Mr. Arburthnot,
Mr. Alexander Grant, Mr. W. A. flunkey, Mr. G. H.
Chapman, Mr. J. Deacon, Mr. J. Arbuthnot, Mr.
T. Smith, and Mr. F. Green. The object of
the requisitionists was to obtain the adoption of
a 'petition to Parliament for the imposition of a
differential duty of ten shillings a cwt. on slave-grown
sugar for thy term of six years. Sir James Lushiug
ton, the chairman of the company, took the chair.
The minutes of the last Court having been read and
confirmed, and the requisition and advertisement con-
vening the court having been read,
Mr. ARBUTHNOT rose to move a resolution for the
adoption of a petition, in accordance with the requisition.
Mr.W.A.
lIANKEY seconded the resolution.

The CHAIRNAN said that he hoped he should be ex-
cused if, at that early time, he interrupted the debate by
stating that the directors had resolved to adopt the pe-
tition for which the resolution had been moved.

Mr. SALomoNs supported the resolution.
Several other proprietors having followed on the same
side, the resolution was unanimously adopted, and the
Court broke up.

alleged to Fussell, Williams, and Jones, is with unlaw-

Lady the Queen, uttering, pronouncing, and publishing
certain scandalous, wicked, and seditious words against

against Vernon is of unlawfully, with others, attending

THE WRECK OF THE STEAM-SHIP
fine ship, considered the fastest of the whole fleet of
steamers belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, cannot, we regret to learn,
be got off. The last accounts from Leghorn, dated
June 3, state the vessel to be fast fixed on the reef, with
nearly six feet of water in her hold. Nearly the whole
of the specie, and a considerable quantity of her valuable
cargo had been got out, the latter very much damaged,
and landed at Vada. The shoal where she lies is the
Mal-de-Vetro, situate between four and five miles west
from the town of Vada, on the Tuscany coast, and
thirteen from Leghorn lighthouse. The Ariel was an
iron-built vessel, nearly 900 tons burden, and was
launched at Blackwell about two years since. Her en-
gines were 300-horse power, the manufacture of Messrs.
Penn and Co., at Greenwich. One of her Majesty's
war stt atners and a private steamer have been dispatched
from Leghorn and Genoa to the Ariel's assistance. The
Ariel was very heavily insured at Lloyd's.
ROBBING A JUDGE.—On Saturday night, the resi-

Marriage requires the fulfilment of several, conditions. in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source ia every instance disclosed, in bow many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused. the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the natare and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the ksman frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation •f the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfertimately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering'
front their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of
iisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
!neklical man who can show by hi.; posse sion of the requisite legal
lualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes-
iional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diPlm
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many Years is a
zuarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
A very moderate supply of English Wheat has come
fresh to hand during the present week ; and the show
of samples here to-day was very small. Selected parcels
of both red and white were in steady request, at full
prices. In all other kinds exceedingly little business
was (toing, at barely late rates. With Foreign Wheat
we were very moderately supplied, and the total imports
this week have not exceeded 450 quarters. There was
rather more doing in most descriptions, and Monday's
currencies were fairly supported. No English Barley at
market. Foreign, qualities, the supply of which was
good, were a slow inquiry, at last week's quotations.
The sale for Malt was far from active, nevertheless
priers were fairly supported. With Oats we were scan-
tily supplied. On the whole, the Oat trade was firm,
at fully previous quotations. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Meal, were much neglected. Flour was a slow in-
quiry, but nut cheaper.

AloNEy-MaitKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 18 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.
17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.60; and the exchange at Paris on Loni+on
at short being 25.57 i-, it follows that gold is 0.10 percent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burgh the price of gold is 438 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.111 ; and the
exchange at Humburgh on London at short being 13.101,
it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent.
_dearer. in Ham-
burgh than in London.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Whitsuntide is always a
period of little activity in business here, and the present
week certainly does not appear to form an exception to
the general rule. Even the little business which might
have been looked for has been injuriously affected by
the failures that have taken place ; and the demand
has been exceedingly trifling, with lower prices for
some descriptions of goods and yarn. The failures
above !referred to are those of Messrs. Kelsall and
Co. of Manchester and London, and Mr. Speir, of
London, who were, to a considerable extent, connected
in business. Messrs. Kelsall and Co., who were largely
engaged in the Indian trade, were well known, during
the lAA aututan;to have been much inconvenienced by
receiving their remittances from that country chiefly
in the paper of suspended firms; and, though it is
understood that a considerable'proportion of these bills
will eventually be paid in full, in the meantime they
cannot be made available for the purposes
of the firm, who are also understood to be considerable
holders of East India sugar, by which considerable losses
must necessarily have been sustained. A meeting of the
creditors has been held this afternoon; and we are glad
to learn that the statement submitted to their inspec-

tion was highly favourable. The debts, which have been
represented as large, do not, in fact, exceed 40,0001.;
and, from the amount and character of the assets, there
was no doubt that they would be amply sufficient to
meet every demand upon the firm. The statement
gave great satisfaction to the meeting, which resolved
unanimously that Messrs.:Kelsall and Co. should re-
tain the management of their affairs, in order to
realise the assets for the benefit of the creditors. In-
deed, we believe it is not improbable that arrange-
ments will be speedily made to enable the firm to
resume their business on an advantageous footing. The
report of the failure of Mr. Speir has arisen from the
death of that gentleman, and the refusal of the executors
to meet certain contingent liabilities which he had in-
curred; but there is no doubt that he died posssessed of
ample property to meet every claim upon his estate.
Another failure in Manchester has been talked of; but,
as we believe that the interruption of its business has
arisen entirely from misunderstandings between the
partners, we shall not particularly refer to it.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There has been very little
change in the flannel market to-day, the demand having
been much the same as for the two past weeks. The
wool market has been extremely dull; the business done
has been very limited, and prices may be quoted a shade
lower.

3IARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
A very moderate supply of English Wheat has come
fresh to hand during the present week ' • and the show
of samples here to-day was very small. Selected parcels
of both red and white were in steady request, at full
prices. In all other kinds exceedingly little business
was doing, at barely late rates. With Foreign. Wheat
we were very moderately supplied, and the total imports
this week have not exceeded 450 quarters. There was
rather more doing in most descriptions, and Monday's
currencies were fairly supported. No English Barley at
market. Foreign] qualities, the supply of which was
good, were a slow inquiry, at last week's quotations.
The sale for Malt was far from active, nevertheless
prises were fairly supported. With Oats we were scan-
tily supplied. On the whole, the Oat trade was firm,
at fully previous quotations. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
7710t5. nonr. A
and Meal, were much neglected. Flour was a slow in•
quiry, but not cheaper.

MONEY- INIARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 18 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.
17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.60; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.571, it follows that gold is 0.10 percent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burgh the price of gold is 438 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.111 ; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.101,
it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent. Ldearer. in Ham-

resources, by inspiring confidence in cases where
confidence was essential to the proper treatment
of disease. He (Sir R. Peel) did not •know what
Mr. Hodgson's intentions were with respect to his-
continued pursuit of practice in Birmingham ; but he
hoped that the community generally would not lose the
bent fit of his labours ; that if he did contemplate retire-
ment, that the light of knowledge which the experi-
ence of thirty years bad conferred upon him would
not be extinguished. (Sir Robert here read a letter
from Sir C. Clarke, of whom Sir Robert stated that,
although he had retired from the practise of his pro-
fession, he was in his own neighbourhood, when ne-
cessity required, always at the call of rich or poor.)
In conclusion, the Right Hon. Baronet expressed the
high gratification he felt in attending the present
meeting. In the course of his life he had had many
interviews with the medical profession, and no pro-
fession possessed more dignified sentiment or prac-
tised more active or disinterested benevolence. That
familiarity with affliction which braced the nerves to
the performance of professional duties appeared at the
same time to soften their minds. After some further
observations, Sir Robert resumed his seat amidst ve-
hement cheering.
Mr. RUSSELL, the secretary, next gave a short
sketch of the manner in which the present testi-
monial originated with Mr. Hodgson's professional
brethren.

The first resolution, which was proposed by Mr.
W. S. Dugdale, and seconded by Mr. Soden, was
declaratory that the meeting was desirous of some
testimonial to express its deep sense of Mr. Hodgson's
private virtues and distinguished professional know-
ledge and talent, and the value of his long and zealous
services:to the public institutions of the town. This
was, as were all the others, carried unanimously.
The remaining resolutions were moved, seconded,
and spoken to by Mr. Spooner, M.P., Dr. Bell
Fletcher, J. T. Lawrence, Esq., T. E. LcQ, Esq.,
Dr. Conolly, &c. &c.
It is intended to request Mr. Hodgson to sit for his
portrait to some eminent artist, to be placed in the
General Hospital, and the money subscribed above
the amount required for the purpose to be applied as
a Hodgson testimonial, in the manner the committee
may deem most befitting.
A vote of thanks was subsequently, on the motion
of the Hon. and Rev. Grantham York, passed to Sir
Robert Peel, for his conduct in the chair.
A large amount was raised, but we did not hear the
exact sum.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA,

We have received files of papers from South Aus.
tralia to the 10th November inclusive.

The following vessels had arrived at Adelaide :
The Duchess of Northumberland, the Competitor,
from England, and the Antilla, which left London on
the Bth July. -
The Adelaide Observer gives the following account
of the voyage of the Competitor :
" The Competitor, owing to a succession of contrary
winds, some of which beset her even before she cleared
the British Channel, made the unusually long passage of
134 days, having left Gravesend on the 17th June. On
the night of Saturday, the 2d October, when the Com-
petitor had reached the longitude of St. Paul's, that
island being distant about 200 miles, the ship encoun-
tered a terrific thunder storm, and was twice struck with
lightning. The alarming occurrence is thus described
by one of the passengers:—
" On the first occasion a ball of fire, apparently double
the size of a man's head, came down the main rigging,
and passing over from the larboard to the starboard
side of the vessel, disappeared in the water. At the
first appearance of the appalling meteor some of the
crew were working at the pumps, the first and second
mate standing by, and the wind blowing what is called
' half a gale.' The deck was strewed with sparks, as if
scattered from a firebrand, and many persons below as
well as on deck felt the shock. The two mates and
four men at the pumps were not only struck down, but
felt the effects for some time after. A portion of the
pump lead was actually melted, as was also the leaden
" apron' which encompasses the mast just above the
deck ; in fact, a portion of the latter, in a molten state,
was carried a distance of some yards, and found em-
bedded in the deck. On the second occasion, within
a quarter of an hour afterwards, the shock'was still more
terrific. The electric fluid struck the foremast and ran
down the rigging, nod simultaneously it struck the
iron tanks in the half-decl,, producing an explosive
noise resembling the heavy discharge of ordnance,
and leaving between decks a thick sulphureous
smoke, like that arising from exploded gunpowder. A
seaman who had just uurigged a pump, and Wag remov•
ing the pump gear, was precipitated to the foot of a
hatchway ladder, and leaping up unciimr,ciously, struck
his head against the deck ceiling, but without being
seriously hurt. It does not appear that any injury,
beyond that described, has been sustained by the vessel,
cargo, or anybody on board."
We read in the South. Australian Register of the
20th of October :
" At a general meeting of shareholders in the Princess
Royal Mines Company, held on the 6th instant, at the
comi-,any's office, the second half-yearly report of the
direwors was read. from whie4 may be gathered the f,d
