AN EARLY HAWVE£II..—On Friday several men were
employed in a field of rye, the pn,perty of Mr. Talbot, farmer,
.if Tottenham, in gathering in the same, it having been during
the last few days ready for the sickle. It is in excellent con-
dition, and the crop is expected to be abundant. There is a
large growth of vf heat in that neighbourhood, which is in a
very fOrward state, and should there be a continuance of warm
weather, in the course of a fortnight it will be ready for
cutting.

FREE TRADE FESTIVAL.
tp
."..IRMINCIFIA3i, FRIDAY NIGHT.—Last night a public
dinner, in commemoration of the repeal of the cornAaws
and the m•)dification of thetariff, was held at the 13,111.nn,
in this town. Mr. William Seholefield, late candidate
for the borough, presided, and Mr. Jo.,:eph Noll officiated
as vice.ch&rmqn. A mong,t the company. prest nt ssrt t.
Mr. Goddard, Mr. 813 the, Mr. George Edmonds, Mr.,
Jerkins, and other known advocates of free trade. The
room. as usual upon such occasions, was tastefulTy deco-
rated with appropriate emblems ; but as the party con-
sisted of what may be termed a mere section of the free
traders of the town, the attendance was not so nu-
merous as might have been expected had it been undt,r-_
stood to be a general assemblage of burgesses favourable
to the late Government measures

The usual toasts " The Queen," " Prince Albert and
the Royal Family," having been drunk with great
enthusiasm,

The CHAIRMAN rose to propose " Sir R. Peel, and the
Members of the House i.f-Cemmons who have aided
im in eservi, g his free trade measure."—(Louti cheers.)
Ile (the chairman) wat4 haplfy to say that the princi-
ples of free trade had beer. carried beyond the reach *f
injury—be) and revocation, They had laboured for this
ei.tter adverse as well as cave-ratable circumstances.
They had laboured for it sing erely and earnestly, and
shame upon the=n if they were not prep:yr-ea to triuterli
as loudly and sincerely.—(Cheers.) They had, how-
ever, further diffi -u,t'es in the way of free trade to
encounter. Sir Robert Peel had carried the vessel
over the bar, but the shin's course was still beset
with rocks and shoals. He should not pursue that
poit,t turther,. but would call their attention to the
distinguished individual to whom the toast referred. In
doing so, they ought to divest their minds of all differ-
ences which might exist between them on other points.
Let them, for a innment, consider Sir Robert Peel only-
Jr the able, unflinching at3yoe9te of the most momentous
measure which ever emanated from any Government.
In that respect he was entitled to their warmest erati-
tude, and in their Hanle he thanked the Right Hon.
Gentleman for the distinguished services he had ren-
dered to his country.—(Cheers.) He must, homever,
guard himself against a blind and boundless confidence
in Sir Robert Peel as a statesman. He was a clever
Minister, but not a statesman. He believed him to be
as honest as he was courageous.—(Cheers.) He was a
man for the day, but not for all time. After some fur-
ther observations, the Chairman concluded by proposing
the toast already given. It was received with load ac-
clamations.

The following were amongst the toasts proposed:--
"The Duke of Wellington and the majority of the
[louse of Lords, to whom the country is indebted for
their support of the free trade policy of the late Govern-
ment!'

" Mr. Richard Cobden, M.P., the able and untiring
advocate of commercial freedom, and may be live to
receive from a grateful nation those honours to which
the late admirable tribute of praise from the lips of the
Prime Minister declared him to be justly entitled."
" Free trade, and may the principle be fully carried
out by the new Ministry, with th© same praiseworthy
firmness as that which characterised the conduct of Sir
Robert Peel."

The toast " The Members for the Borough" was ex-
cluded from the list.

AWFUL CONFLAGRATION AT
SOHAM.
(Abridged from the Cambridge Chronicle of Saturday.)
About half-past one o'clock yesterday morning the town
of Soham was again aroused by the dreadful cry of fire,
which commenced on the premises of Mrs. Peachev, widow,
in Hall-street, and near the spot where two other fires have
happened within the last fortnight. We have not time to
state full particulars, haying now left the spot where the
tire is still raging, although somewhat abated. The follow-
ing will give a brief sketch of tits extent of this awful ca-
lamity. Thirteen houses have been burned to the ground.
viz., the Globe public-house ; house at the back, in the occu-
pation of William King, shoemaker ; shop, &c., of Mr.
Robert Collen, wheelwright ; house. &c., of Mr. Edward
Muns, blacksmith ; house, shop, and goods of Mr. liar•
yey, grocer and draper; house, &c., of Mr. Hicks, carpen-
ter; the whole of the extensive farming premises of Mr.
Edward Staples, together with a newly-erected mill of five
stones; the house, &c., of Job Payson, wheelwright; the
house and shop of Mr. Horsley, blacksmith ; the house, &v.. -
of Robert Ginn, shoemaker; all the extensive premises and
farm-buildings (with the exception of the dwelling holm)
of Mrs. John Malden ; house and premises of Mrs. Sarah
Peachey Mr. John Pettit, &c. &c.
There can be no doubt but that this is the diabolical act
of incendtarism, as it evidently broke out in various
places at the same time.

But for the active and persevering efforts of the inha-
bitants of the town generally, one end of the town must
have been a complete ruin.
Of course it is impossible to estimate accurately the
amount of damage done by this shocking occurrence, but we
apprehend it cannot be less than 5,000/., nearly the whole of
which is insured in the Suffolk, and some in the Norwich
Union Office.

The number of persons rendered homeless by this cala-
mity is 79, and the condition of some of them is very deplor-
able. But they will be cared for by their neighbours is
the best way that circumstances will allow.

. Gladstone on Friday, at the Colonial-office.

IiCHoES FllO3l THE BACKWoODS ; OR, SKETCHES. OF
TRANSATLANTIC LIFE. Br CAPTAIN LEVINGE.-.-11116 let
one of the pleasantest books of travels we have read for many
a day—full of curious facts, vivid impressions, judicious re-
marks, and well-told stories; the style clear and animated;
the tone, liberal, frank, and unreserved as if the writer felt
that, with gentlemanlike habits and a cultivated taste, he
might fearlessly tell all he thought on any subject. Captain
Levinge (the son of a wealthy Baronet) sees everything that
is to be seen, and shoots at, or angles for everything that is
to be killed or caught (from a moose or salmon to a colonial
beauty); in or about the Canadas; races (to use his own ex.
pressiot,) through the United States, rifle, rod, sketch-book,
or note-book, in hand ; tries most kinds of transatlantic his,
including a fortnight in the bush ; and seems to seize Intui-
tively on the traits or incidents best fitted to throw light on
manners or convey a lively
impression of a scene.—.E2 (unifier
A NEw STYPTIC.—At the sitting of the Parts Aca-
demy of Sciences, on June 22, a paper was received from
M. Bonjean, a chemist, of Chambery, on the medicinal pro-
perties of the ergot of rye, particularly as a remedy in the
case of external hemorrhage. M. Bonjean does not pretend
to have made the discovery of this application of the ergot.
It, was, in fact, discovered long since, and tried by Dr.
%N right and M, Muller. M. Bonjean, however, claims cre-
dit for having carried his experiments to a greater extent
than either of those gentlemen, and gives a number of cases
which scarcely leave a doubt of the efficacy of the remedy.
We give one of his cases :—" On the sth inst. (says
Bonjean), a strong woman, aged 40, in uncorking a bottle.
which broke in her hands, received a dreadful wound in the
palm of the left hand. A. portion of the artery was cut, and
the blood rushed out with such force as to cause a jet of
nearly four inches in height. After all the ordinary means
of stopping the effusion of blood had been tried without effect,
the wound was tightly bandaged and the women proceeded
to the house of a physician, who immediately sent for M.
Bonjean to administer his remedy. The latter gentleman
uncovered the wound and laid upon it a piece of lint saturated
with a solution of the ergot of rye, at the same time using
only gentle pressure. In two minutes the blood ceased
.to
flow ; in five minutes the pressure was removed, and the lint
left unon the wound, and in twelve minutes even that was
removed. The wound was now found to be self-closed by a
mass of coagulated blood, and another piece of saturated
lint being laid ever it and the hand gently bound up, in two
days the wound had cicatrised."— Galigneni's Messenger.
STIAM-80-4.T PIER.—On Friday, a new steam-ho
pier was opened at Coles Child's Wharf, at the eastern end
of the town of Greenwich, near the whitebait houses, for the
accommodation of passengers by the Waterman's Company's
steamers. Simultaneously with the opening of the new
pier, the Waterman's Steam Packet Company have com-
menced running their boats every quarter of an hour fro
Westminster Bridge, Adelphi, and City piers, and to se-
c omplish this they have purchased the steamers of the Old
Greenwich Company, five in number, which are now called
Waterman. The fleet of steam Watermen is augmented to
seventeen. The Adelphi Pier Company of Watrrenen have
improved their floating pier to meet the increasing, traffic.
A new floating steamboat pier, at Lavender Dock, Rother-
hithe, will be opened on Tuesday. It has been thrown out,
at an expense of 1,0001. by Mr. Sedger, jun., ship-broker, .
r
Rotherbithe, the inhabitants of which place have hitherto
received very little benefit from steam navigation, for the
want of a convenient landing place. The Lavender
Back
will be frequented by the Waterman's Company's
sad
Gravesend steam-yeses.
