THOUGHTS ON TAR BARRELS.

(Vide Description of a late Fête)

What a pleasing contrivance! how aptly devised,
'Twixt tar and magnolias to puzzle folks' noses
And how the tar-barrels were, doubtless, surprised
To find themselves seated, like " Love, among roses I"
What a pity we can't, by precautions like these,
Clear the air of that other, still viler infection,
That Radical pest, that old Whiggish disease,
Of which eases, true blue, are in every direction.
If we had, 'stead of barrels, an Auto da Fe
Of a few good combustible Lords of the Club,
Why, they'd fume, in a trice, the contagion away—
And there's Bucky would burn like a barrel of bub.
How R—den would blaze, and what rubbish throw out!

A volcano of nonsense, in active display;—
While V—ne, as a butt, amidst laughter would spout
The hot nothings he's full of, all night and all day.
And then for a finish, there's 's Duke,
Good Lord, how his chin-tuft would crackle in air!—
Unless (as is shrewdly surmised from his look)
He's already bespoke for combustion elsewhere.—Times.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAT TER SALL' S.

Several bettings were made yesterday on the Goodwood Cup,
which will be one of the heaviest cup-betting races known for

consequence, sprung a little in the odds, Retainer now having
the call against Margrave. Perion is also in favour. We give
the closing prices :

CITY MARKETS.-(TWO O'CLOCK.)

The general lousiness in the City, both as regards Co-
lonial and other descriptions of produce, is much impeded
by the alarm which prevails respecting the prevailing
disease. Merchants and traders appear alike indisposed to
enter largely into any *operations except to meet imme-
diate wants.

SUGAR.-Prices continue heavy, but the sales of the
week ending to-day are nearly 3,000 hhds. The sup-
plies are becoming very abundant, above 7,000 hhds.
having been landed last week. The stock in the West In-
dia Docks is now 24,000 hhds. Foreign Sugar is ri.t
much inquired after. East India Sugars are gen~rallti
from 6d. to ls. per cwt. lower. Refined goods are in ra-
ther brisk demand ; fine lumps fetching 71s. per cwt.
COFFEE.-The prices are mostly all lower, and hair
little doing to-day. Fine Jarnaicas are sold at 90s. 6d.
to 915., and low middling has been sold at 79a. to 82s. 6d.
per cwt. To effect sales of foreign and East India Cof-
fees to any extent a decline beyond that of last week must
be submitted to. The arrivals of foreign Coffees have
been pretty large. .

Rust AND BRANDY.—L ewards are still in demand.
The deliveries for home use are increasing, but for export
are !United. The stock in the West India Docks is now
about 21,000 puns. and 1,900 hhds. In Brandy a feu
shipping orders for low quality have been complet.A, but
the market remains languid.

HOPS AND Sams.—The account. from the plantations
continue very variable. The duty is still called from
155,0001. to 160,0001. In Seed. the crushers are hang-
ing hack for lower prices. The arrivals of Rape-seed are
b-coming pretty large ; some picked samples have realized
241. per last.

INDIGO—Since the conclusion of the Company's sale
deliveries have been pretty large. The prices are un-
altrred.

Tal,Low—The new Tallowy are beginning to come in
freely—last week 3,620 barrels arrived, and since the Ist
of June 8,400 casks have been announced. The stock is
now about 8,000 casks against 32,878 at the same perio,l
of last year. Prices have given way—and 41s. 6d. per
ctvt. is the nearest quotation this morning. Town Tallow
is full Is. 6d. per cwt. lower than on this day last year.
The delivery last week was 935 casks.
COTTON—The Market looks firm, with pretty good
business doing.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—This morning, about
a quarter before one o'clock, a most distressing accident
occurred by the falling down of a considerable portion of
the Ship and Shovel public-house in Hungerford Market.
At the above-mentioned time the landlord and his family
were greatly alarmed by the noise of the fall, when tht
former flew down stairs, crying out, " For God's sake
come out of my house for it is falling." His next door
neighbour, Mr. J. DOBSON, surveyor, No. 35, Craven.
street, on heating the dreadful noise, immediately flew
to the spot, wheie he beheld the appalling spectacle of one
alf of a five-story house levelled with tl:e ground, an
was informed that three human beings were buried in th•
ruins. He was at that moment joined by WEBB, a po-
liceman, and two men named GRAVES and VINCENT, and
another, who, regardless of the danger of being buried alive
in the threatened ruins, commenced removing the rubbis).
in order to extricate the unfortunate sufferers, and by dint
of extreme exertion they removed a considerable portion,
and by a quarter past two succeeded in getting two pf
them out alive,. but much bruised and lacerated. Thr
other was dead, being struck by one of the beams. The,
were conveyed into the remaining part of the Ship and
Shovel. Mr. HAYES, of May's-buildings, was sent for to
cup one of the sufferers, but, to his disgrace be it said, Is
refused to perform the operation till he was paid 70.,
the amount of his fee. The name of the deceased is JOHN
PARKINS, a carman ; and the two sufferers were the pot-bo)
and another carman.

qIE.ETING of the INHABITANTS 01
GILES and ST GEORGE, BLOOMSBURY.

Yesterday a public meeting of these two parisbc3
t.,ok place in Messrs. Bennett and Co.'s Timber-
y ,rd, Little Queen-street. HENRY WILLIAMS, Esq.
of Lincoln's Inn-fields, was voted into the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting was called for
the purpose of choosinr, and instructing a Com-
nittee in behalf of the ;hove parishes, which Com-
mittee should co-operate with those of the other
ralistres of the borough of Finsbury, on the subject
if Parliamentary pledges. The Committee, when
vhen formed, was to r, ceive special instruc-
tions from the parishioners as to its ulterior pro-
ceedings.

Mr. ROGERS proposed the first resolution, to the
effect, that a Committee of 24 householders, half
om each parish, be appointed to consult with the
o-her Committees of the Borough, as to fit pledges
he proposed to persons willing to become can-
didates.

Mr. SIVATMAN seconded the resolution. Upon
which,

Mr. TEMPLE came to explain the &rcumstances
under which they were met. M.,ny persons may
object to the way by which they were assembled ;
but it was their own fault, for they were not sufli-
ciently unanimous in their Opposition to a select.
body. He had been nominated one of the Vestry,
and accepted the nomination in order to do good,
but did, he was sorry to confess, very little, for there
was too great a majority against him. Mr. Rogers
had said that it was impossible for the public: ►
know what was done in the Vestry. This was not
exactly correcr, since the books were open to public
inspection, and the names of proposers and seconders
of motions could be in that manner known. He
concluded by reminding the meeting that th?re was
such a thing as an annual election of parish-officers,
and that it would, therefore, rest with the pa-
tishioners whether the Vestry now in power should
be enabled a second time to treat their requisition
with contempt.
The fir-t resolution was read from the chair, and
unanimously adopted.
Mr. HANsLIAW 'rad over the list of names of the
peons who were to form the Committee.

Mr. ADAMS rose to propose the second resolution
on the sh,,rtening of the duration of Parliament.
Members were elected to serve in Parliament, con-
sequently the grand question was to know well the
character—the private and public charicter—of tho• e
who professedly went to serve. For this reason
they should come forward on the hustings, and
challenge all questions that the electors—those whom
they are going to serve—may put tc them. Ti e
same method that was employed in the hiring of
servants should be adopted in the choice of repro,
presetutatives. Their masters and mistresses should
be consulted about their previous character.—.-
(Laughter.) As to the propriety of promptly dis-
missing representatives, he thought too much pre-
cipitation should not be adopted. But on this point
there could not be much danger if the duration of
Parliament was limited to three years, as the reso-
lution he held in his hand proposed. Respecting the
matter of pledges, he was not of the opinion of
Mr. Rogers, who seemed to think too highly of die
disinterestedness and virtue of mankind. His ex-
perience did not allow him to entertain any such opi-
nion—if it did, he would not be very exact on the
question of pledges. Then he would have no ob-
jection to see pledges put in the gross without enter;
trig into the minutia'. But as the world was, he was
decidedly of opinion that pledges should be required,
and in the most binding form.—(Cheers.)
The second resolution was then put and carried.
Mr. DOUGLAS proposed the third resolution, to
the purport " That all sinecures, unmerited pen-
4ions, and unnecessary places, should be done away
with." He was one of the individuals who, backed
by a requisition very numerously signed, had waited
upon the parish functionaries. Among those func-
tionaries was the parson; he being the best paid of
them, and paid of course by the parish, ought to have
shown a greater wish to consent to its desires.
'Twas quite the contrary, for he refused his sanction
to the meeting, and would not allow it to take place
in the Vestry-room. The resolution he held in his
hand did not go far enough; 'twas too general; it
should have alluded to the Batik Establishment,
which was the chief source of pensions and sine-
cures. No sooner had it got its charter in 1688,
than a standing army was the immediate conse-
quence. The invention was one of protection for
its wholesale legitimate plundering of the people's
pockets.—(Cheers.) No candidate should be
elected unless that he proved that he understood
the monetary system of this country, and was able
and willing to effect a change in it. This was a
grand point—'twas hitting the nail upon the head.
—(Cheers.) He was far from being inclined to
,ob the fund-holders, but the boroughmengers, who
had saddled the country with such a debt, ought
atOncilasavie losras._ddle(dcoheentrhs7 all the discharged soldiers
The third resolution was carried unanimougly.

Mr. SWATIVIAN proposed the fourth resolution,
touching the total abolition of Tithes, Assessed
Taxes, the Duties on imported corn, and on all ne-
cessaries and comforts of the labouring classes.
Mr. CLARY begged the meeting to permit him to
propose Mr. Lawless as seconder of this motion.

Mr. LAWLESS (who was received enthusiasti-
cally) regretted that among the resolutions he did
not see the vote by ballot mentioned. The house
of Commons, 'twas true, did vote by secret scrutiny,
but that was very proper ; voting as they did, viva
voce, the country knew how they consulted the pub-
lic interest. With respect to the electors the
matter was quite different ; ballot was the only pro-
tection for the voter who was not independent of
the world. The people were ripe for the ballot—
they were ripe even for universal suffrage.
The fourth resolution was put and carried.
Mr. SMITH proposed the filth Resolution, to the
effect that stamps and all other taxes ot► knowledge
should be abolished —Carried.

Mr. SAVAGE (being loudly called for) proposed
the sixth I-t-solution, stipulating a complete revision
of the civil, criminal, municipal, parochial laws.
The sixth Resolution was then put and carrtel
Mr. POWELL rose to propose the seventh Reso-
lution, or test, to the effect, that every Member
should be pledged to resign if he voted in opposi-
tion to the known wishes of the majority of his
constituents; arid also when called upon so to do
by a majority of his constituents in public meeting
assembled. The most important of all principles
was involved in this Resolution—the principle of
•e(,irity.—The Resolution was carried amid hearty
cheers.

M. SIMPKINS moved the eighth Resolution—
" That the Committee be further instructed to
inquire into the particular intereqs and characters
of candidates, so that the pledges may be redeemed
as well as given."
_ _ _

Mr. MURPHY seconded the Resolution. Any
man who did not intend to play false would not re-
fuse pledges. Mr. Murphy concluded an eloquent
speech, by warning electors to avoid all persons who
had aristocratical connections. If they did not, the
Pension List would never be reduced. Ladies of
rank would seduce the best intentioned Members.
He then alluded to the pension of 1,300/. granted
by the Duke of Wellington to Mrs. Arbuthnot, for,
he supposed, certain favours conferred. Well,
ladies would always confer those favours, and their
society should be avoided.
The Resolution was adopted unanimously.
This very animated and numerous Meeting ad-
journed, after voting thanks to the Chairman; three.
cheers to Mr. Lawless; and the same number to
Mr. Murphy.

The Right Hon. WILLIAM NOEL HILL,
the British Minister at the Court of the KING of the Two
Sieilies, is the fifth representative of the present Govern-
ment at Foreign Courts recalled by Lord PALMERSTON,
