THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGHS IN-
CORPORATION ASSOCIATION.

TO TILE .EDITOR OF TUE SUN'.
Sru,—Tne necessary arrange:mints are nearly corn-
plete for the formation and efficient working of an
extensive and influential association, having for its
ot-ject the immediate incorporation, under distinct
charters or' acts, as may be necessary, as well of the
different metropolitan boroughs already returning
Members to Parliament, as also of the populous and
wealthy district, comprising Kensington, Chelsea,
&c., et present so inadequately represented.
The founders of this association venture to hope
that your powerful assistance, and that of the press
generally, will be rendered towards the carrying out
of this most important measure ; without which it is
impossible to obtain any definite or available expres-
sion of the public opinion of the metropolis upon
any given subject, municipal, local, or political, or
to create any united public action based upon that
opinion.

The creation of these municipal corporations will,
moreover, furnish a simple and complete solution of
the vexata qu(Estio of Government interference in
matters of purely municipal interest, such as the water
supply, sewerage, &c., the control of which, by the
ratepayers of the metropolis, is rendered difficult, if
not impossible, under the defective and anomalous
organization f the existing multitudinous parochial
vestries and boards. You will al:4), I think, Sir,
agree with me that it will be no slight recommenda-
tion of the proposed measure that it will obviate the
future possibility of the existing City corporation
being again mistaken for the representatives of the
metropolis of this vast empire.
It is intended to hold a preliminary meeting next
week of such parties as may be willing or desirous to
aid this movement, as well for the purpose of collect-
ing necessary statistical and other information, relat-
ing to the several districts proposed to be incorporated,
as al3o of organizing
the nuclei of the general and dis-
trict committees. Such gentlemen as may intimate
to me by letter their desire to attend will receive no-
tice of the time and the place of the meeting.
I am, Sir, &c.,

"Be assured that the feelings with which we hail

enterprises which your love of freedom and truth so
eminently contributed to originate, for the Purpose of
maintaining the ancient independence and free consti-

disinterested energies for so long a time served to pro-

solicitude.
" We forbear alluding to the various causes which
have hitherto interfered with your z• 411 and self-duvo-

you have sought is only postponed, and that there is
an era to arrive in the history of Europe when the prin-
ciples for which you have contended will bra recognized
and established on a firm and enduring basis in that
great and glorious nation of which you are the ornament
and the boast.

" We thank the Almighty disposer of human events
for preserving you amiklst innt:na2rahle peril", and we
pray that wherever you sojourn you may enjoy that best
of earthly portions which is set before the great and
good of oilr race—the honest admiration of enlightened
minds and the sincere affection of upright hearts; and

of your enemies shall be furnished in the characteristic

ROYAL INSTITUTION.

On Saturday last Professor Faraday delivered the first
of a series of six lectures, in the lecture-room of tho
Royal Institution, on the subject of attractive forces.
Although these lectures and the mode of dealing with
them are designedly adapted for a juvenile auditory,
the majority of the audience on Saturday eonsisted of
persons who had advanced considerably beyond their
teens. The two front seats opposite the lecturer were
reserved for juveniles, and were completely filled. Inch ed
the entire theatre was crowded, and if the learned pro-
fessor's modesty permitted it, he might have derived a
very forcible illustration of attractive power from the
numbers who came to listen to his interesting lbcture on
this occasion. After a few remarks on the active and
inquisitive mind of youth, the learned professor said that
he would become on the present occasion " once more a
boy," and would bring nnder their notice instances with
which they were all well acquainted, but which in their
remote application were full of interest and wonder. He
then proceeded to explain and illustrate the nature of
attraction and of specifie gravity. He showed how the
earth was a great centre of attraction; that its attraction
was equally great for all bodies, whatever their weight;
that the atmosphere alone was the cause why a piece of
paper did not fall to the ground equally soon with a
penny; that this atmosphere was itself subject to the
same law of attraction as all other bodies, nay, that but
for this same law of attraction this earth itself would fall
away from its centre of attraction, the sun, and roll into
cold regions of space, where neither heat, nor light, nor life
could exist. The lecturer in this way led his youthful
hearers by gradual and easy steps from examples of at-
tractive force in its most obvious forms to others which
illustrated the motions of the most distant bodies, and
showed how the same law which made a weight fall to the
earth kept, when combined with a given circulating mo-
tion, the earth, sun, and planets in their respective orbits.
The easy familiar style of Professar Faraday on this
occasion, and the simplicity of his illustrations, evidently
placed his young auditors on a level with his theme,
fur they gave to his "Philosophy in sport made science
in earnest" a devoted attention which scarcely any other
Christmas attraction in the metropolis could have ob-
tained.

convi der it as a main part of my duty, on this occasion, to
aid your judgment to tho best of ray ability, by the
ie:ateiricut or my own views on the principal qu .
affecting the Church which have recently cucupic
trAtic attention. But before I enter on this le=ger field,
I feel it nccu6sary to advert io some topics of more im-
ine,:!iate local interest, cJucerning condition and
prospects of the diocese, which is the sphere of our
common ministerial labours."
The first clause of this; mysterious 'paragraph in-
vites alike clerical hearers and lay readers to exercise
their ingenuity in discovering what the Bishop may
mean by the viords
" n° slight immediate moment ;"
but, gladly, accepting his promise of "practical
guidance 'to clear notions," we acquiesce in his
postponement of theoretical questions, and yield our
undivided attention to his Lordship's exposition of
the present condition of his diocese. Dr. Thirlwall
proceeds to congratulate his clergy upon the im•
provement which has recently taken place in the con-
dition of ecclesiastical buildings, and the increase of
church accommodation. Ho alludes to his visits to
"very nearly all the most secluded and least easily
accessible parts of the diocese," visits which he
seems to think, after all their meritorious toils, Were
but of dubious benefit, in consequence of his clergy's
unprompted zeal. In a foot-note to page 7, the
Bishop gives the most pleasing piece of information
afforded by this Charge. He says—
" I have consecrated fourteen churches, and expect to
consecrate another within a very few weeks. The num-
ber of churches which have been rebuilt from the foun-
dation, or completely renovated, is between thirty and
forty; and when those which aro now in progress are
completed, will, I believe, exceed the latter number."
We are not aware that the parochial statistics and
notes of the Commissioners of Education of 1847
have ever been invalidated, although the prejudiced
opinions of those Commissioners on the social state of
the principality are now justly regarded as
ill-
grounded and fallacious. The following particulars,
quoted from the reports by Sir Tnomas Phillips (vide
" Wales," pp. 400.1), are deemed to have been un-
questionable facts, and it is but tco probable that such
they still remain. They belong to certain districts
in the diocese of St. David's, and county of 'Pem-

LORD GEORGE BENTINCK.—In its notice of Mr.
Disraeli's biography of Lord George Bentinck, the Morning
Herald observes—" Mr. Disraeli's tribute to the memory of
his departed friend is as graceful and as toddling as tit is
accurate and impartial. No one of Lord George Bentinck's
colleagues could have been selected, who, from his high.
literary attainments, his personal intimacy and party asso,-
ciations, would have done such complete justice to the
memory of a friend and Parliamentary associate. Mr. -Dig.
raeli has hero presented us with the very type and er.abodi.
ment of what history should be. His sketch of tl'Ae condi-
tion of parties is seasoned with some of thosepiquant
personal episodes of party manoeuvres and priva:ce intrigue,
in the author's happiest and most captivating; vein, which
convert the dry details of polities into a sparkling and agree-
able narrative. But the portrait which will stamp the book
as one of the most extraordinary productirms of the time is
that of Sir Robert Peel. It is written wi'ah wonderful force
and extraordinary impartiality."
' SOUTEIAMPTON, MONDAY, DEC. 9.--The Penin-

a large and valuable cargo for t,'Lle Levant markets, and a
small quantity of specie for Constantinople. The Euxine,
..Captain El. W. Evans, from. the same ports, will be due at
Southampton about the 6`.,11 or 7th proximo. The Penisular

Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, on Saturday. She had
a fair number of passengers, a good cargo, but took out no
specie. The next ,homeward mails from the same ports
will be brought by the Moatrose, Captain John Bowen,
expected to reach Southampton about Saturday or Sunday
next. The Royal Mail steam-ship Amazon, Captain
Symonds, is appointed to take out the West India and Gulf
of Mexico snails of the 2d proximo, and the Trent will be
due at Southampton, with the next homeward mails, about

EXTRAORDINARY MURDER.

BELIEF, SUNDAY EVENING.—It is our painful
duty to record one of the most cold-blooded and
daring murders that have ever taken place in the
county of Derby. The scene of the foul deed is
Belper, about eight miles from Derby, and near the
extensive cotton manufactories of the Messrs. Strutt.
The facts of the case are as follows :—lt appears that
a man named Anthony Turner, who resides at Lane-
end, and about half a mile from Belper, has been for
some years in the habit of collecting rents for a wil.ow
lady named Barnes, who lives with a relative named
Bannister, a clergyman of the Church of England, at
Field-house, Belper. Turner having been a defaulter
to a considerable amount, Mrs. Barnes sent him a
note to say that he would not be allowed to collect any
more rents, and that he was to consider himself dis-
charged from his situation. On Saturday evening
last he went to a provision shop, kept by a Mr. llus-
land, and borrowed a large carving• knife, used for cut-
ting bacon. After they gave it to him he said he was
going to kill Mrs. Barnes with it, for not letting him
collect the rents. This was about eight o'clock in
the evening, and it appeared that he went direct from
Mr. Husland's shop to Field-house, deceased's resi-
dence, and asked to see Mrs. Barnes. The servant
went up stairs, and told Mrs. Barnes that Turner
wished to speak to her, but she refused to grant bins
an interview. The servant returned with a messago
to that effect. Turner said he would not go away•
without seeing her, and, entering the house, pushed
the girl on one side and rushed up stairs. The sere
vent girl was very much alarmed, and ran to fetch
the Rev. J. Bannister, who was in the adjoining
house. Mr. Bannister immediately ran into the
house, and on proceeding up stairs met Turner coming
down with a large knife in his hand, which was co-
vered with blood. Turner made a blow at Mr. Ban-
nister with the knife, and after a struggle between
them Turner was precipitated to the bottom
of the stairs. Mr. Bannister then went into thr'
unfortunate lady's room, and found her lyin&.

CAPTAIN CORRY, THE ADMIRALTY SupERTNT-N.
DENT OF THE SOUTHAMPTON MAIL PACEET STATION,
will shortly obtain his flag, and vacate the office of superin-
tendent in consequence. Naval men are on the qui rive all
to who will succeed Captain Corry at Southampton. The
name of his successor has not yet transpired beyond the
sanctum of the Adrairal
Admiralty. The salary of the superintendent
is 6001. a-year. Captain Corry is the fourth who has filled
the oflice since the transfer of the mail picket station from
Falmouth to Southampton. The first was Captain Alex-
ander Ellice, brother of the Eight Hon. Edward Ellice and
General Ellice, and who vacated the office on receiving a
high official aspointment at the Board of Admiralty. Cap-
tain Ellice was succeeded by Captain, now Admiral Sir
John Gordon Sinclair, Bart., a relative of the Earl of Yar-
borough. Sir John vacated the office on obtaining his flag,
and was succeede#l by Captain Smith, the distinguished in-
vent r of the paddle-box life boat, the naval gunnery tar
get, &c., and who died while filling the office. Captain
Corrv, the present superintendent, is related to the Earl of
Belmore.

EIRE AT THE CLARENCE HOTEL, ALDERSOATE.,
STREET.— Yesterday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, an alarming fire broke out on the premi,es of Mr.

CANTON MARKET REPORT.

We have nothing of a satisfactory nature to comment
upon as regards imports. Even on the low quotations
given in our last Overland we have now to notice a fall-
ing off in the prices of most articles. Notwithstanding
this, however, transactions in shirtings have been on au
extended scale. Holders have shown considerable
anxiety to realise stocks on band, dreading that further
supplies would cause lower rates than those nowcurrent.
By the late mails we have learned that goods rule low
in the manufacturing districts of England. This would
induce additional shipments, which would operate to the
prejudice of stocks in this market. Although it is
extremely difficult to obtain correct information of
the disturbances in Kwang-se—the number or capa-
bilities of the disaffected—their power and importance,
still, as their movements are now engaging the serious
attention of the Imperial Government, it may be ima-
gined that these malcontents, in disturbing the general
peace of a large consuming district, exercise a very bad
effect on the general trade. That they ever will com-
mand any marked power in the district to which they
belong, or prove " a thorn" to any extent, to the
reigning dynasty, we have no belief. China is seldom
without a petty disturbance of this nature on its sea-
board or in its interior. If the Government does not see
it to be politic to crush such with force of arms, it can
readily, and this has been its general line of policy, pur-
chase or pension off the insurrectionists. This Kwangs
se rebellion, as it is denominated, has excited attention
for some fifteen or eighteen months. Its results—what
are they? We can only see in them a bugbear to trade.
In the political part of our paper we give what informa-
tion we have been enabled to collect on this subject.
But even this, coming from high authority, ese take
with caution, if not with distrust. The making or un-
making of a government in Continental Europe may be
executed in a week, but things move slower in this
quarter of the world. Paris, may be, as it is said to be,
Prance—but Kwang-se is not China. It is said that the
disturbances in this province have an injurious effect
upon the foreign commerce, and being unable in our-
selves to give a better res.,on, we must, per force, fall in
with the popular one. Vie make these remarks in our
market report, es we deem it proper to state hero that
we consider the Kwang.se rebellion has usurped a posi-
tion in the foreign political plies° of which it is entirely
unworthy. Leaving it, we proceed to our general r
marks upon the trade of last month.
London, England, 1851-09-18

GERMANY.

Several of the German journals again state that
the Governments of the north have sent a collective
note to that of England, complaining of the facilities
afforded in that country to political refugees to form
plans of insurrection on the continent.
We find the following in the Independance of
Brussels :—" A valet of the King of 'HANovEit was
in the habit of performing the duty of Cabinet cou-
rier between Hanover and London, under the Munch-
hausen Ministry. A few days since this royal
messenger was arrested at Cologne. The escape
from the State prison of Hanover of M. STECHAN,
who had been implicated in some political proceed-
ings, led to the discovery that the Cabinet courier bad
been charged to carry to London, at the same time
with the correspondence of the KING and his Mi-
nisters, letters and money, which the Hanoverian
Democrats wished to send to their confederates in
London. The valet of the KING was a radical in dis-
guise. This affair has,caused much excitement in the
Hanoverian journals.,
Some of the German journals state that in the
northern parts of Germany the potato disease had
made its appearance with great intensity. From
Cologne to Berlin the tubercle is represented as unfit
for food, and as sending forth a most offensive odour.
It is feared that the poorer classes will suffer severely
this year from the calamity.

INSURRECTION.

The rebellion of the two liwangs seems to be
spreading and assuming a more formidable appear-
ance than we were disposed to anticipate a short time
ago. The latest news we have is that the rebels have
captured Kw el-lin, the capital of Kwang-se. They
took- the Commissary-General's military chest, which
was said to contain about three-quarters of a million
taels. They also sacked all the Yamuns of the au-
thorities, but did no damage to any private buildings,
and seem to have conducted themselves with modera-
tion in respect to private property, except in the exac-
tion of a loan from the bankers and merchants of
nearly 50,000 taels, to be repaid, we suppose, " when
the King shall enjoy his own again."
The urgency of the matter is shown by an an-
nouncement in the supplement to the Official Re-
porter of the 12th inst., that his Excellency the
Governor-General Sett will start on the 22d, taking
with him the Adjutant-General of the Governor's
division for Kaou-chow and Leen-chow. These are
the southern departments of Kwang-tung, and are
on the borders of Kwang-se and Cochin China.
Seil takes with him three thousand regular soldiers,
from which it is apparent that he goes to make head
against the rebellion in that quarter. The prime
minister, Sae-shang-ah, had been sent to Iloonan to
remain on the defensive, and prevent the spread of
the rebellion in that quarter. Since then the news of
the death of Lesing-yuen, the imperial commissioner,
has reached the Emperor, and he bas ordered Sae-
shang-ah to advance into Kwang-se. lleu-tseang-
Kwang, one of the principal Canton gentry, has been
appointed his assistant, doubtless from his " barbarian
quelling" powers, as he was one of the principal op-
ponents to our admission to Canton, and for which
good and patriotic deed he received high honours.
