L N DON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 18t7

It is gratifying to observe that the Prime
Minister has recently awarded a pension of 501.
per annum to CHARLES S-warli, the eminently
graceful and popular lyrist of Manchester. It is
still more gratifying to remark that 'Viscount
PALMERSTON has accompanied the official intima-
tion to Mr. SWAIN of this substantial, though
inadequate, tribute to his literary industry and to
I his poetical abilities, with a regret that the Fund
at his disposal annually, in his position as First
Lord of the Treasury, precluded him from making
a larger grant than this, to the Author of the
"English Melodies." That Fund, as we all
know pretty well by this time, being restricted to
a niggardly sum of 1,2001., to be yearly awarded
by the First Minister of the Crown to those who
may appear to him at the time most deserving of
consideration, in the way of either recompence or
encouragement, among the living cultivators of
Art, Science, and Literature. Nevertheless, we
must really venture to remark at once that while
we perfectly coincide with Lord PALMERSTON'S
implied regret as to the insufficiency of the
Fund in question, we cannot but think that
even this annual dole of 1,200/. might be
much better applied than it ever has been applied
yet, by the Prime Minister's adopting a wholly
different system in the manner cf its
distribution. To be plain—How infinitely more
rational it would be, surely, if—instead of this
1,2001. yearly at the Prime Minister's disposal
being frittered away, as it has been frittered away
hitherto, as it is still being continually frittered
away, by excessive division and sub-division among
a host of annual recipients—it were portioned out
more reasonably among a comparative few: each
of whom might thus be really "aided" instead of
being (as many literally are, according to the pre-
sent system)actually "insulted" by her MAJESTY'S
Government ! Don't we recollect, all of us, a
very glaring case in point, in the instance of the
late Mr. JOSEPH HAYDN, the laborious compiler of
the well-known " Dictionary of Dates" and of the
almost equally well-known " Book of Dignities r'
Had we been able, indeed, to lose a recollection
of the flagrant manner in which that most de-
serving, but unfortunate man of letters was in-

that appeal was by the generous plea put forth in
her behalf, simultaneously, by our contemporary.
As we ourselves took occasion to intimate, by means
of the simplest arithmetical analysis, at the very
time when that miserable grant was awarded to
the late Mr. JOSEPH HAYDN, it was a grant of one
shilling and fourpence-halfpenny a day—of nine
shillings and sevenpence a week—of two pounds,
one shilling, and eightpence a month—this pit-

REPRESENTATION OF FINSBURY.

Last night an adjourned meeting of electors of the
Borough of Finsbury, friends of the Liberal interest, was
held at Myddelton Hall, Upper-street, Islington.
Mr. C. H. ELT occupied the chair ; and atter referring
to the interview which the deputation appointed at the
meeting held on the 12th inst. had with Mr. Alderman
Challis relative to his intention of again becoming a can-
didate for the representation of Finsbury, read a cornmu
nication from that gentleman, in which he states :—" It
is not possible to speak of our conduct in reference to a
distant occurrence with certainty ; and as there does not
appear to be any probability of a speedy dissolution of the
present Parliament, the statement of my intention on
that event must be in some degree conditional. But I
cannot hesitate to say how highly I estimate the position
of representative of the borough in Parliament: and to
declare my intention to' occupy it while I am so happy
as to elijoy the confidence of the constituency, and
health and strength continue. My purpose and wishes
are to remain your representative until they should fail
me, and, whenever that shall occur, I shall feel it mj
duty to inform those friends who have honoured me with
their support without delay.—l am, &c.,
(Signed) Taos. Casazis."
Mr. M'Elosmar, then moved a resolution to the effect
that the best thanks of the gentlemen present be gins
to Mr. Alderman Challis, M.P., for his prompt and
courteous reception of the deputation, and for the an•
ewer since received.
This was seconded by Mr. lioissE, and unanimously
adopted.
Mr. It. MOOAN then moved s resolution, which was
seconded by Mr. WATSON, for the appointment of a sub-
committee, who should convene a meeting of the friends
of Mr. Duncombe, M.P., whenever they may deem it
advisable to secure his continuance as one of the repre-
sentatives of Finsbury.
This resolution was unanimously adopted ; and, after
some further proceedings, the meeting terminated.

THE PRESENT PARLIAMENT.

The present Parliament does not expire, by efflux of
time, till the 20th August, 1859, so that it cannot yet
be considered as moribund, so long as the Minister of
the day finds it practieable ; and, as Lord Palmerston's
principle of action is to be the Minister of the majority,
it will be hard if he cannot find a working majority on
one side or the other of any question that may arise. The
last Parliament which approached its extreme limits was
that which ended in 1826.
During its existence no fewer than 140 members have
been elected to supply the places of a like number of
vacancies caused by deaths,• promotions to offices under
the Crows, and resignations. At the present moment
there are nine seats vacant for which new elections will
have to be made forthwith, or as Soon as Parliament
re-assembles. They are the following :
Do wnpatrick...vice Lord Hardinge, succeeded to a

peerage.
Dumfriesshire „ Marquis of Queensberry ditto.

TIIE ADULTERAHOY OF FLOUR AND BREAD

The Lancet has just commenced a new series of re-
ports under the old title of the " Analytical Sanitary
Commission on the Adulteration of Food and Medicine."
That contained in the Lancet of the 17th inet. is upon
the adulteration of flour and bread. It appears that there
is an article in common and daily use by bakers deno-
rainated " Cones," or "Cones' flour ;" this when genuine
consi.ts entirely of the flour of a particular kind of
wheat, denominated " Rivit wheat." It is used by
bakers to dust the boards upon which the dough is made
into bread, as well as the dough itself, the object being
to prevent the dough from adhering to the boards, or the
loaves to each other ; hut, as will appear immediately,
it is likewise employed for other purposes. Of 22 tiara.
pies of Cones' flour subjected to examination five only
were genuine, and the other 17 adulterated, consisting
of mixtures of rice, bean, barley, rye flour, and Indian
corn meal, together with, in one or two cases, salt and
alum. Cones' flour is, therefore, subject to an enormous
amount of adulteration, the object of the various addi-
tions made to it being to cheapen the article as well as
to adapt it for adulteration. That Cones' flour is fre.
quently employed in the adulteration of bread is shown
in some cases by the character of some of the adulterations
to which it is subject, as those by admixture with bean
flour, alum, and salt. Now bean flour is actually of a
more glutinous nature than pure wheat flour of good
quality, and therefore its presence in Cones' flour tends
to unfit it for the very purpose for which it is alleged
that it is deigned. Snme bakers have oven
ac know.
e
hedged to the employment of Cones' flour for the purpose
of adulteration. In the article Cones' flour, prepared by
the millers, " bakers, then," states the report, " are
furnished with a material avowedly wheat flour, but
which, consisting of mixtures of different and cheaper'
flours, is in every way suited for the adulteration of
bread, and that it is extensively used for this purpose
cannot be doubted. The public know nothing of this
article ; the master bakers themselves are ignorant of
its real composition, while the journeyman, in most
cases, when he adds, by his master's directions, abushe'l
of Cones' to a sack of flour,' has no idea that he is ad;'
terating the bread."

MANCHESTER COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION.

The annual meeting of this association was held at
Manchester yesterday, Mr. J. A. Turner, presiding.
The Chairman, in commenting upon the annual report,
referred to the proud position which this country held
during the negotiations for the conclusion of peace last
year. He believed we might look back with satisfaction
to the course of trade since peace was established, for a,
no 1 eriod in the annals of our commerce had any ap-
proach been made to the amount of business carried on.
Our exports had exceeded those of any other period by
20.000,0001. for they amounted to the enormous sum of
115,000,0001., and he believed that while the mercantile
interests had been flourishing, the population of the
country had been well employed, that generally con-
tentment had prevJled, and that we might on the whole
consider ourselves in a very prosperous condition. But
there was one cloud in the distance, and that was the
probable distress we were likely to experience before
long from the inadequate supply of the raw material
which gave employment to such vast numbers of the
inhabitants of this disti ict. In ten years, from 1847 to
1856, the imports of cotton into this country had exactly
doubled, for in 1847 they were 1,234,090 bale , while in
1856 they were 2,467,000 bales ; but such had been the
progress of the cotton trade that ,whereas at the end of
1847 the stock in Liverpool was 451,000 bales, or 20
weeks' consumption, at the end of 1856 the stock was
only 332,000 bales, or eight weeks' consumption. That
was the total stock at the end of a year which gave an
American crop of 3,500,000 bales, and all authentic
accounts pretty nearly concurred in the anticipation that
there would only be 3,000,000 bales to meet the require-
ments of the present year. We might depend upon it
that we should he the sufferers by the deficiency, for it
was rather startling to know that the United States and
the Continent were now, unitedly, using about as much
cotton as Great Britain. In looking back, again, on the
past year, there was one cause for feelings of humiliation
among commercial society in the numerous crime-,,
frauds, and infamies that had taken place in the year
1856. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he referred in
terms of deep regret to the death of Mr. Brotherton,
whose loss would be especially felt by all who had had
occasion to communicate with the representatives of that
' community. (Applause.) On the motion of Sir J.
Potter, seconded by Mr. M. Ross, the report was una-
nimously received. The proceedings concluded with
the appointment of directors and auditors and a vote of
thanks to the directors of the past year.

THE WAR WITH PERSIA AND CHINA

BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY NIGHT.
A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town was
held in the New Music-hall, Broad-street, this evening,
on the subject of the present wars with Persia and
China. There was only a moderate attendance, the re-
served seats in the stalls being only thinly occupied.
Mr. Alderman BALDWIN, in the unavoidable absence
of the Mayor, presided ; and among the gentlemen pre-
sent we observed Mr. %V. Morgan, Mr. Joseph Sturge,
the Rev. C. Vince, Mr. C. Sturge, Mr. J. S, Wright,
the Rev. A. O'Neil, and numerous other influential gen-
tlemen. A letter from Lord Lyttelton, apologising fur
his absence, but partly agreeing with the objects of the
meeting, was rea i at the commencement of the proceed-
ings.

Mr. W. MORGAN, in a long address, referred to the
history of ths opium trade in China, the differences which
had long existed between Great Britain and that country,
the manner in which we had occasionally acceded to Chi-
nese demands, and ultimately urged the inexpediency of
proceeding by force against China. He concluded by mov-
ing a resolution to the effect that the bombardment of
Canton was unjustifiable, and was repugnant to Chris-
tianity, and calculated to dishonour the British name.
(Cheers.)

The Rev. C. VINCE seconded the resolution, which
was carried unanimously.
Other resolutions, together with petitions to Parliament
were then adopted, and the meeting separated.

SURREY SESSIONS.

SECOND COURT.
(Before P. E. Johnson, Esq.)

. ,
CONVICTION OF ANOTHER TICKET-OF-LEAVE CONVICT.
Richard Burke, 26, a ticket-of-leave convict, was in-
dicted for unlawfully attempting to break into the dwel-
ling-house of Frederick Alloway, No. 16, Queen's-square,
Horsern onger-lane.
Alfred Duncombe, a very intelligent lad, residing
with his parents at 19, Queen's-4quare, said that on
Saturday evening, the 10th inst., at 10 o'clock, he was
standing at one end of the square, when he saw the pri-
soner, two other men, and a female, go up to the door
of No. 16. The latter stood before him with a view of

At that time Sergeant Raymond

entered the square, when two of the risen and the female
ran off and the prisoner was about to go in another
direction, when the sergeant seized hold of him and took
him into custody.

Mrs. Alloway said that on Saturday evening at five
o'clock she left home, hav;rig locked the door and secured
the house. She returned at 10 o'clock, and found that
not only had the lock been tampered with, but the box

but be and his companion must have watched her out,
and no doubt they were the parties who robbed her
house.

Sergeant Raymond, 22 M, said that owing to many
robberies being committed in the neighbourhood of
Queen's-square a strict watch was kept by the police,
and on Saturday evening, about 10 o'clock he was passing
through, when he saw some men and a woman standing in
the doorway of No. 16. He immediately pursued them,
when two men and the female ran off at the end of the
square and the prisoner over towards her, and he secured
him and took him into custody.
I❑ defence, the prisoner said that a female asked him
the way to the Surrey Theatre, and after he told her be
was going about his business when the oonstable stopped
him.

The jury, without the least hesitation, returned a ver-
dict of guilty.
Wm. Bellamy, 95 B, here informed the Court that
the prisoner was tried and sentenced to 10 years' trans-
pox'.ation about four years ago, and he had recently
been liberated with a ticket-of-leave.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH RANK. -AUDIT MEETING,

To-day was appointed for an audit meeting under this
bankruptcy, hut as no proofs can be tendered at an audit
meeting, the proceedings were pro forma.
It was stated that there is about 35,0001. in the hands
of the official assignee available for the proposed dividend,
which will be declared on Saturday, of ss. 6d. in the
pound to those who proved befTa the last dividend, and
6d. additional to those who have already been paid the
former dividend of 53. in the pound, but in cansequence
of the difficulties which have been thrown in the way of
the official assignee, in collecting the call of 501. per
share, it is feared that it will be some weeks before a
further dividend can be declared. 12s. per pound less
the paid dividend has been offered by an agency office in
the City.

FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTS.-OUTLAWRY,
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)

IN RE WOODS.
This bankrupt was described as of Peckham, builder,
and to-day was appointed for his last examination.
Mr. Murrough, M.P,, appeared for the assignees, and
stated that the bankrupt bad absconded, and although
several witnesses bad bee❑ examined very little had been
elicited as to the affairs, but it was said that the debts
were about 1,2001. ; assets uncertain.
The bankrupt not surrendering, was declared out-
lawed in the usual form.

MARYLEBONE.

Last evening a meeting of. electors of the borough
of Marylebone resident in Camden-town and ifs
vicinity was held at the Eagle Tavern, for the pur-
pose of taking steps for securing the re-election of
Sir B. Hall—Mr. T. Smith, of Haverstock hill, in
the chair.

Mr. FURNISS proposed the first resolution :
" That, taking into consideration the tried and faith-
ful services of Sir B. Hall during Vie 20 years he has re-
presented the borough in Parliament, this meeting of
electors hereby expresiies ils continued confidence in the
right hon. hart.' aud- pledges itself to usa its best endea-
vours to secure his triumphant re-election."

Mr. MORGAN seconded the resolution, and, on
its being put, it was carried unanimously amid loud
applause.
Sir B. HALL, on presenting himself, was received
with loud cheering. He proceeded to explain his
Parliamentary conduct. He could assure them that
the position of a representative of Marylebone was
:no sinecure. When first elected for that borough
'the constituency of Marylebone was but B,soo—it
:now numbered something like 22,000 electors. He
;believed that their_ local interests had never been
:neglected by him—(hear)—and no man in the
borough who had ever written a letter to him could
may that he had it left for 48 hours unanswered.
After referring to the communications offering him
'supports even from opponents, from every part of
:the borough, he said he felt it his duty to read a
:letter he had received from Mr. Jacob Bell, which
did honour and credit to him. [Mr. Bell's letter
stated that he had received a letter from Lord For-
tescue acknowledging his forbearance in not oppos-
ing his.son's re-election. It was not his (Mr. Bell's)
intention to become his lordship's opponent again,
:more especially to take advantage of the present
state of his lordship's health. Me therefore hoped
for the unopposed return of Sir B. Hair and the
-noble lord ; but if at the last moment, or after the
tlection, his lordship's, state of health should oblige
him to retire, then he should be prepared at any
-time to come forward as a supporter of the Liberal
principle's of Lord Palmerston's Administration.]
He (Sir B. Hall) thought it, in justice to Mr. Bell,
his duty to read his letter. After giving his reasons
for supporting Lord Palmerston on the late vote on
the Chinese question' Sir B. Hall concluded by
stating,that when he found his position as a Minis-
ter incompatible with his duty as a representative
he would retire from that position. The right hon.
baronet resumed his seat amid loud applause.

Mr. HOOPER made some observations on behalf
of Lord Ebrington, and moved the appointment
of a committee to co-operate in securing the return-
of Sir B.

Mr. W. C. MARLEY seconded the resolution, and
Sir B. Hall having explained his opinions with re-
ference to the Sunday bands, in answer to a ques-
tion put to him upon the subject, which were re-
ceived in a satisfactory manner,
The resolution was carried, and, a committee
having been appointed, thanks to the chairman
terminated the proceedings.

LkMBETIT.

Last evening a crowded meeting was held at the
Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of
hearing an address from Mr. W. Williams, M.P.
for Lambeth. Mr. F. Doniton occupied the chair.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS rose amid cheers mingled with
hisses, and, after thanking the electors for coming
forward in such large numbers to meet him, gave
a history of his past political career, and said that
the most important point was relative to his vote
upon the question_of the Chinese,war. (Hear, hear,
and hisses.) Much had been said about a coalition,
but he could honestly say that lie never told any
man how he intended to vote. If by the vote be
had recorded upori that important question he Ind
given offence to any one of his supporters, he could
only say that it was an error of the Lad, and
not of the heart. - When he gave his vote he did
not think anything about Lorti,Palmerston or my
one else, but merely gave •it according to his con-
viction. (Cheers 'and uproar.)
Several gentlemen ;having addressell some ques-
tions to Mr. Williams relative to his vote upon the
Chinese war, • •

Mr. E. GROVES moved the following reaolu-
Lon :--

"This meeting, having heard the statements of Mr.
W. Williams respecting his; pulitical conduct during the
present session of Parliament, are of opinion that his in-
defatigable and faithful services in the Commons' House
of Parliament eminently merit the thanks of this meet•
ing, which are hereby most cordially tendered ; and at
the same time express their determination to return him
to the new Parliament."

Mr. ELLINGTON seconded the resolution.

Mr. WADE, amid great uproar, moved an amend-
ment to the effect that the explanations given by
the hon. member relative to his vote on the Chi-
nese war were unsatisfactory, and had deprived him
of the confidence of the electors.
Mr. BEARD seconded the amendment.
The chairman having put the amendment and
the original resolution, the latter was carried by
an immense majority.

A new candidate -for the representation of the
borough of Lambeth was yesterday named in the
person of Mr. Roupell, a gentleman of considerable
property in the parish of Lambeth, and who pur-
poses, it is said, to start on thoroughly Liberal
principles.

VALE TA, MA.RCH 5.
The European and Australian steam-ship Etna
arrived from Southampton yesterday morning, hav-
ing been only seven days and four hours on the
voyage. This is icaugurating the new line with.
rapidity 'indeed. It is stated that the captain ex-
pects to be 12 hours shorter in his next run. The
Cambria came in this morning from Marseilles,
bringing a London mail of the 28th ult. ; and the
Etna proceeded for Alexandria.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Colombo arrived on Saturday from South-
ampton, with the heavy portion of the India mail;
and the Eux;ne, with the overland mail of the 26th
ult., came in on the 3d inst. Both vessels proceeded
a. few hours afterwards to Alexandria.

H.M. steam-ships Spiteful, Magicienne, and Des-
perate arrived during the week from the East. The
corvette Miranda arrived on Friday from Corfu, on
her way home to bs paid off. The Recruit left on
Sunday for Corfu and Patras with a mail. She is
ordered to remain on the Patras station and look
out for pirates.
Amongst the passengers by the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-sbip Ripon, which left
on Friday last for England, is the youthful Marquis
of Hastings, who has been staying a few months
in Malta with his step-father, Captain Yelverton,
commanding H.M.S. Conqueror. The Duke ,and.
Duchen of Norfolk are expected here shortly on a

I regret to state that an accident has occurred
to Mr. Charles M'lver, one of the principal pro-
prietors in the Cunard Steam-shipping Company.
A pony kicked Lim on the arm, fracturing his
elbow, aid causing a severe contusion. A serious
accident also occurred on Friday last to Captain
Goodenough, R.A., aide-de-camp to his Excellency
the Governor. Whilst siding, his horse stumbled,
and falling upon the rider's leg, caused a fracture
of the small bone. Both golf lemen are doing well.
By the arrival of her Majesty's ship Miranda,
from Corfu, on the 27th ult., I learn that the 91st
Regiment was daily expected there from the Piraeus,
as also a regiment from Malta. Sir A. Damaschino,
K.C.M.G., has been nominated President of the
Senate of the lonian Islands, vice Count Roma,
G. C. M. G.

A resolution of the Senate has been published,
giving the cruisers of his Hellenic Majesty the right
to search suspected vessels under the Greek flag,
when anchored
in any port of the lonian. States, or
on any part of the lonian coats. A reciprocal act
is granted by the Greek Government to British
cruisers to search lonian vessels in the harbours
and coasts of Greece. Ms. Zervo and Monferrato,
who have been suffering exile for several years,
have be3n generously pardoned by Sir J. Young,
and they can now return to Cephalonia without
condition. The ten electors of that island peti-
tioned the Governor on the subject immediately
after their election, and have expressed themselves
very sensible of their prayer having been listened
to. Nothing more Of any importance.
