' a superior education of the Catholic priests in Ireland an 'lo-
cation of the character of the people would be attained. The
Noble Lord then read at tenth extracts from speeches of Mr.
Grattan, M. Pitt, and Mr. Burke,in wh,cn those distinguished
statesmen expressed themselves as favourable to the
endowment of the Catholic priests in Ireland. He
believed that the opinions of those grew men wee borne out
by the facts, anp that a great improvement in the character of
the priesthood in Irsland had followed from the arrangement
which connected the education of the priefthood with the
Government of the country. He did not wish to oppose the
statements of his Noble Friend opposite (Lor Beaumont) as to
the interpretation which might be put upon certain religious
obligsti a
Lord .:12-AUNIONT explained.
Lord STANLEY said that he had fully accepted the expla-
nation of the Noble Lord, and he was happy to have one raore
occasion of arguing with him.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord
then read at great length from the speeches of Grattan and Burke,
in favour of the endowment of a Catholic College in Ireland.
Their general line of policy now was to afford education to the
people of Ireland, and to add to the improvement of their
clergy. In the measures which they had taken, they were
not prescribing the course of study which was to
be adopted at Maynooth they were only
making a better provision for their comfort, and were
taking care to do away with the filth and indecency, he would
say, to which the students were now exposed. They were
taking into consideration the maintenance, and were wishing
to give them the same station which the clergy of their own
persuasion were placed in.— ((Hear, hear.) And they
wished that the students of that college would not leave it with
a feeling of disgust at the inconvenience and indecency
to which they were exposed, but with a feeling of gratitude
to the Government to which they looked for their subsistence.
With regard to the professors it was said that they were not of
the highest class. Why, if they wanted to obtain the services
of men of high talent, did they expect to get them
for the sum of 1201. per annum ? Under such cir-
cumstances did they expect these professors would give
all their energies to the duties of their calling ?
The sum voted was trifling, and the sum which they were
called upon to pay in comparison to the magnitude of the object
was trifling. There was no new principle contemplated, but a
new system. Some were afraid of ulterior measures ; he did
not deny that he wished this measure to be considered as an
induction of the design, temper, and spirit in which they
meant to administer the Government of Ireland—as a
measure of conciliation and favour. They had been told that
it was said that the measure had been declared in Ireland to
have been extorted from their fears, but the Noble Lord who
said so at the same time admitted that the Government had
the powers of the law to put down agitation. It was in the
same year that they acted rigorously for the preservation of
the peace of the country that they passed the Bequests Bill,
and [when there was no indication of foreign war or national
disturbances.—( Hear. ) Where, then, was the justice of
saying that the measure had been extorted from
their fears. His Right Hon. Friend, Sir R. Peel did not
say in the other House, he was influenced by the threatened
liGstility of America, in bringing forward this measure, but
what he did say was, that it was a happy thing to send a
message of peace to Ireland, on the very day before the
American news arrived. The measure would be received in
Ireland with gratitude and satisfaction, for whatever faults the
Irish people might have, at least they were grateful. The
measure might not conciliate such firebrands of the Church as
Bishop Higgins, nor those whose trade was agita-
tion, but it would, he repeated, be hailed with
satisfaction by all sensible and loyal mcn.—( Hear. )
If they expected that this measure would be the means of pro-
ducing a feeling of immediate gratitude in the breasts of the
Irish people, he found they would be disappointed, at
least, for some time; but let their Lordships
ever bear in mind that wise and holy maxim, while they were
tseght by an unerring authority, which said, " Be not over-
come by evil, but overcome evil by good, and return not railing
for railing."—(Cheers.) If this measure should be received
with what might be called ingratitude—( Hear)—let
them study to remove that feeling by a constant course of kind-
ne-s to the Irish people--( Hear, hear.) It was by this means,
and by this means alone, could they hope to secure the grati-
tude of the Irish people, and secure a place in their hearts.—
( Hear.) Let this country firmly uphold their own Church
in all its spiritual and temporal rights throughout the length
and breadth of the laid in Ireland ; but let them at the same
time take the Roman Catholic people kindly by the hand, and
show thee: that you mean to treat them upon terms of equality.
( Hear.) This measure was now in their Lordships hands; he had
oo fears as to the result of this night's debate in reference to
it ; but he would say. that far better would it be for the coun-
try that it had never been introduced, than that their Lord-
ships should regret it.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") By the
I.as-ing of this measure they would secure that strong hold
b, which the moral and political views of this great
empire was cemented ; and while he would regard with alarm
and dismay the rejection of the Bill, yet he could not imagine
that their Lordships would, by such a step involve this country
in the fearful consequences that would certainly follow such
a view of the debate.

SOCIETY FOR TIIE PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM
FIRE.—A meeting of the friends of this Society was held on Tues.
day afternoon, in Willis's Rooms, to take into consideration the
best means to be adopted for the further prevention of the loss of
life by fire, the late lamentable occurrence in Dover-street present-
ing the occasion for an appeal to the public generally for support.
W. Pownall, Esq., took the chair. Resolutions were passed de.
claring the urgent necessity for a number of fire-escapes to be
stationed throughout the metropolis, and that they should be
served by a numerous and efficient body of men, well and regularly
trained to the work; that the Members of Parliament for the
City and various metropolitan boroughs be earnestly requested to
support some legislative enactment compelling the parochial autho-
rities to provide a sufficient number of their fire-escapes in their
respective parishes, and that Government be requested to aid the
Society, or altogether to take the administration of its affairs into
their hands. Speeches in support of the resolutions were made by
Messrs. F. Labouchere, M. A. Taylor, Fish, Colonel Chaloner,
Captain Johnson, Mr. H. M. Kemshead, and by several other gen-
tlemen, by one of whom it was stated that the man in charge of
the fire-escape which was used at the late fire had been discharged.
At the conclusion a vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Pownall,
which he acknowledged, and the meeting then broke up.

;) 'e by apologising to their Lordships for adjournin
the dsbete, but as last night no Irish Peer had an op-
portunity of addressing the House, and as only two
Peers had spoken in favour of the amendment. be thought
he might bc excused for moving the adjournment. More-
over he thought that their Lordships ought to have time
to consider the important statements made by the Right
Rev. Prelate (the Bishop of EXETER), and the, if
possible, more important admissions made by the
Noble and Learned Lord (Baouonam)—admis-
sions which were the strongest arguments in favour
of the amendment of his Noble Friend. He admitted,
with the Noble Earl who opened the debate last night,
that this was a most important measure. It involved a
great principle, and he called upon the members of the Go-
vernment to state explicitly how far they intended to go.
He denied the statements made last night by the Noble
Earl as to the number of parishes in Ireland in which
there were no Protestants. Instead of 134, there were
but 41 parishes in Ireland in which there were no Pro-
testants.—(Opposition cheers.) There were 82 parishes
in which there were less than 39 Protestants. Many
of the clergy of those parishes were curates of other
parishes. This was a religious question. He believed
the Scotch Kirk to be a pure Church, and he could wor-
ship in common with them, but he could not join in the
Roman Catholic worship; he could not bow down the knee
to an image or address a prayer to the Virgin. He ap-
proved of the Act of 1829, emancipating the Roman Ca-
tholics, and regretted that it had not been carried at the
time of the Union. He believed that the Church
was not in danger from the Roman Catholics
in Parliament. All the attacks upon the Church had
emanated from Protestants.—(Hear, hear.) The
Roman Catholics followed the excellent example
set them by the Noble Lord opposite, and he thought
the oaths taken by the Catholics afforded a perfect
safeguard to the Protestant Church. He re-
gretted the attack which had been made by the
Noble Marquis upon the Right Reverend Prelate, but he
believed the Noble Marquis had been misled, and al-
though, when the Noble Marquis administered the
affairs of Ireland, he did not give him his confidence,
yet he believed that the Noble Marquis had the
interests of Ireland at heart.—(Hear.) As an Irishman
he felt grateful to the Noble Marquis for the admirable
Church appointments which he had made, irrespective
of party during the time that he bad administered the
affairs of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) With regard to the
measure before the House he would admit that there
were great objections to the education of Roman Catholics
abroad, but the institution in which they were educated
at home should be in unison with the established insti-
tutions of the country, which it was not at present, but
which the inquiry moved for by his Noble Friend
would tend to make it. With regard to the ob-
jection made by the Noble Duke to the fo-
reign education of Roman Catholics, he did not
agree with it. The Noble Duke said that in foreign
universities there was a spirit of inquiry abroad, which
was ill suited to the principles of stanch Roman Catholics.
Now he thought that, as Protestants, they ought not
to object to this spirit of inquiry. As Protestants they
were not called upon to guarantee the unchangeableness
of the Roman Catholic Church, that there ought to be
some inquiry into the nature of the instruction given at
Maynooth, and he should, therefore, support the amend-
ment of his NoMe Friend. Their Lordships were sub-
sequently addressed by the Duke of Cleveland, Earl
Spencer, the Bishop of Norwich, the Earl of
Mornington, Lord Colchester, Lord Monteagle,
the Bishop of St. David's, the Earl of
CHARLEVILLE, and Lord STANLEY, their Lordships
divided, when there appeared, for the Amendment,
59, against it, 155 ; majority against the amend
ment, 96.

Their Lordships then divided on the original motion,
which was carried by a majority of 157.

Want of room prevents us from doing justice to the
excellent speechAs made in the House of Lords on
Thursday on the Maynooth Bill, but they cannot be
passed over without notice. They displayed a liberal
and humane spirit, just views of government, and,
with one exception, an absence of sectarian feeling
highly honourable to the Upper House. The Arch-
bishop of DUBLIN spoke out like a man who, in
defence of truth and justice, sets calumny and
bigotry at defiance. He rebuked the m Alern
Pharisees, who look upon themselves and their
religion as perfect, and admonished them to take
the beam out of their own eyes that they might see
clearly the beam in their brother's eye. "Rather," said he,
"than resort to violence in turning men from their errors,
I would descend from my station, and earn my bread by
the most menial employment. I would not resort to
violence, but I would endeavour to drive out from our
own Church those who taught falsedoctrines—who held
the doctrines of one Church, and received the emolu
ments of another." The cheers which followed must
have sounded harshly on the ears of certain Prelates
It is a favourable symptom of the feeling
which prevails in the House of Peers, that only one
Member last night- spoke against the measure—the
PusPyito Bishop of EXETER, who, in his usually polite
and Christian language, denominated Maynooth " a
perjury-teaching col ege." Lord BROUGHAM'S speech
may be read with advantage by the most violent op.
ponents of the measure, and especially by certain Dis-
senters and the members of the Free Church of Scotland.
They will find his Lordship's remarks wofully correct
when they have any favours to ask of the Episcopal
Bench. " The Dissenters and Wesleyan Methodists "
said he, " were the loudest and most incessant in their
outcry against it. Well might the bench of Bishops
say, that these religionists had no right to look for an
extension of civil and religious liberty for themselves, since
they had been so violent in their opposition when con-
cessions were made to Roman Catholics. They were
the last, too, who should charge other religionists with
holding persecuting doctrines, for, if he selected a writer
who, of all others, laid down the doctrine of extirpation
with more elaborateness—who even went so far as to
say that the body of the heretic should even be burnt—
who taught not merely the right but the duty of destroy-
ing the body to save the soul—he should say that that
man was JOHN CALVIN."

According to intelligence from Mexico, of the Ist of
May, it was understood, in well-informed quarters, that
the Government were disposed to recognise the inde-
pendence of Texas, on the condition that it should not
be incorporated with the United States. Propositions
to this effect had been made by Texas, and it had been
communicated to the Mexican Congress by the New Pre-
sidPrit and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The fol-
lowing resolution of the President in Council had been
submitted to the Chambers :

The Government is authorised to give hearing to the
propositions which have been made to it respecting Texas,
and proceed to an arrangement or celebration of a treaty use-
ful and honourable to the republic, keeping the Congress ac-
quainted with what is done for its examination and approval."
Should the Congress reply in the affirmative, the tots
separation of Texas from Mexico will be completed, and,
in two or three years, it will be installed, with due
solemnity, as one of the States of the American Union.

According to accounts from Madrid of the 27th ult.,
the despotic conduct of NARVAEE towards the editors of
the Clamor Public°, as well as other proceedings of an
equally arbitrary character, had caused great public
excitement, and de pressed the funds nearly one per
cent. All the papers, with the exception of the
Heraldo, which is under the influence of the Govern-
ment, condemned in the strongest terms the arrest and
deportation, without trial, of CORRADI and CALVO; and
the Castellano and Globo cautioned the Ministry against
pursuing a eourse which might lead to most deplorable
results. By a new law, it appears all journals are to be
submitted to the censorship of the Political Chief three
hours before publication, and for a breach of
this law, which we certainly never heard of,
the editor of the Espectador had been sub-
jected to a fine of 3,000 reals (300 It was said
that news had been received of other arbitrary pro-
ceedings in the provinces, and that three respectable
merchants, named GUARDIOLA, VERGES, and BALDRICK,
had been arrested at Barcelona. According to the Eco
del Comercio fourteen persons altogether had been ar•
rested at that place, and thirty more were destined for
the same fate. NARVAEZ, having got rid of the Cortes,
seems determined to rule the country entirely by mili-
tary law, and provoke another reaction in that unfor-
tunate country.

The Bourse was greatly agitated by the intelligence,
and the Funds declined considerably on the 27th, the
Three per Cents. closing at 33 for cash, and 331 at 60
days; the Five per Cents. at 23J for cash, and at 60
days; and the Coupons at 271 for cash.

The Paris papers are occupied with the new treaty
for the suppression of the slave-trade, the arrest of the
Madrid editors, and the abdication of lion CArmos. All
of them condemn the conduct of the ,Spanish Cabinet
towards the press. The Journal des Debuts descriies it
as an act of arbitrary power, and as totally incompre-
hensible, when it is recollected that it took place only
the day after the promulgation of a constitution, embo-
dying clauses which especially provide against such an
abuse of authority; and the other Government journal,
the Globe, expresses utter astonishment at the strange
proceeding. The other papers, almost without exception,
concur in regarding the arrest, trader the circumstances
stated, as despotic and illegal in the highest degree. The
Opposition journals seem not at all satisfied with the

new treaty. M. TRIERS' jcurnal infers that it has been
purchased at a high price, namely, by France en-
gaging to take part with England against America
in the affair of Texas ; and the National says, " The
treaty may be sufficiently convenient fur the British Ca-
binet, but it appears to be rather insolent towards our
Chambers. Consider the situation in which it will be
placed. No doubt a demand will be made for supplies to
fit out twenty-seven ships of war, and the motive for de-
manding those supplies must be discussed. But to what
purposecan there be a debate on the subject ? We admit
the right with which the KING is invested by the charter to
sign treaties, but the right of refusing the supplies con-
sequent on such treaties cannot be denied to the Cham-
ber of Deputies." The Globs thus turns into ridicule
the dismal forebodings of certain journalists respecting
any alteration in the former treaties :
" The grand affair of the right of search, which, according
to the patriotic journals of London and Paris was to end ab-
solutely in a general conflagration, has at last been concluded.
The Duke de Broglie, after some days' conferences, has ter-
minated his mission; he is at this moment bidding adieu to
the illustrious hosts who by turns feted so graciously in his
person the envoy of France, and is about to return to Paris.
All that takes place naturally, without any particular sign
appearing in the heavens, without any redresser of griev-
ances covering his face, or crying out 'treason!' Still
better, the press, so susceptible and so jealous of our na-
tional honour, Is also silent, and appears indifferent. Wait
awhile, and you will see that, like the Times, it will
demonstrate victoriously that there is no merit on the
part of the two Governments to have found the means of
smoothing down all the factitious difficulties that it
had itself called into existence. Let it not be for-
gotten that the press has at its fingers' ends the fable
of the floating sticks. As long as it can possibly keep
them away from the eyes of its readers, it unceasingly
agitates them, giving them the most frightful proportions,
but as soon as the current brings them closer, it at once ceases
to see them, and considers it very improper that any one
should see them. As long as the French or English opposition
could imagine that the clouds spoken of by M. Guizot affec-
ted the right of search, it made the matter an inextricable
question, but when it saw that persevering and determined
statesmen had resolved to blow away these nebulosities, mat-
ters at once became changed; mountains suddenly disap-
peared, and the path so impracticable yesterday, became in a
moment smooth and easy. Let it not be supposed that we
exaggerate. The silence of our virtuous brothers of the press
would sufficiently bear out our words, even did we not see
them confirmed by the Times. This journal, whose contra-
dictions we do not intend demonstrating, but which, on the
contrary, we quote to our patriotic journals, as a useful
example of frankness, was, it may be remembered, one of
the strongest detractors of the negotiation of the French
and English Commissioners, which it looked on as altogether
useless."

per Cents. closed at 86f. 10c. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f.

GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND ASSOCIATION.—The
monthly meeting of the Directors of this Association took place in
the saloon of the English Opera house this day, Tuesday, June 3,
Mr. J. B. Buckstone in the chair. Present, Messrs. Worrell,
Lewis, Saker, E. F. Saville, Cowl; Morrelli, Attwood, Cullen.
ford, &c. Mr. Cullenford read the financial statement, from which
it appeared that the funds of the Association amounted to 2,8001.
The secretary reported he had received donations from Dr. Marsden
and Mr. E. Cullenford, which donations were intended to be annual.
The secretary was authorised to pay to the widow of the late Mr.
Strickland one-half the amount of his subscription to the fund.
After the transaction of the routine business of the Association,
and the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, the Directors
adjourned.

rliE MYSTERIOUS DEATHS OF A MOTHER AND
INFANT ►T H►MPSTEAD.—On Tuesday Mr. Wakley resumed the
thrice-adjourned inquiry touching the deaths of Caroline Hillman
and her male infant. The medical evidence of Mr. Taylor and
others, which was given at considerable length, went clearly to
show that the deceased died in consequence of having swallowed a
quantity of savin, a drug calculated to procure abortion. Matthews,
the brother-in-law of deceased, said he had been down to From; So.
mersetshite,and ascertained; hat deceased had been living in that town
for three or four years in a family named Gains. He believed Mr.
Gains, her master, was a doctor. Mrs. Matthews, the wife of last
witness, and sister of deceased, said the latter told her that her
master, Mr. Gains, was the father of her child. She did not
complain of ill-usage. She had no conversation with her on
the subject of procuring abortion, nor did she say that any one ad-
vised her to try and do so. Deceased came to my house on the
2d of May from tier father's, who resides at Road, near Frome.
By the Coroner—l have four or five pills in a box, which I have
left at home, and which I think deceased brought from the country.
I will take care of them, and produce them. A gentleman, the
agent of a country solicitor, here said that he had received a letter
that morning, stating that Mr. Gains, if his presence were required
at the inquest, would be very glad to attend. The Coroner—The
matter has become very serious, and it is absolutely necessary that
a person about whom so much has been said, should come before us.
lam very sorry for it, but we cannot go on as we are. The in.
quiry was then adjourned to the 25th instant.

- THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 3. The
Oriental Company's steamer the Pasha, Captain Burney, arrived
here last night from Gibraltar, and landed mails of the following
dates, viz. :—Gibraltar, 26th of May; Cadiz, 27th ; Lisbon, 29th;
Oporto and Vigo, 30th ; and Corrunna, 31st. She brings 61 pas-
sengers, 33 packages of specie, and a cargo of oranges, leeches, and
silks. The mails were forwarded up by the 2 A. 51. train this day.
The royal West India mail the Thamas arrived at her mooring
at half past 11 to-day, and landed the South American and %Vest
India mails, which were forwarded to London by the half.past
12 express train. Her dates are—Tampico, April 21st ; Vera
Crus, May Ist ; Havannah, 10th ; Honduras, 20th of April ;
Jamaica, 9th May; Demerara, sth; Trinidad, 6th; Barbadoes, 9th ;
Grenada, 1 Ith ; St. Thomas's 15th; La Guayra, 4tA; and
Bermuda, 20th. The Thames has 93 passengers; 352,206 dollars,
1,1401. British coin, 1,1290 z. gold dust, 14,7620 z. of silver,
13960 z. of platina, 179 serons of cochineal, 10 bales of jalap, and
five bales of gum. The Thames was not due until the 7th inst.
The Oriental Company's steam-ship the Tagus, Captain Brooks,
left the docks this day at three p.st. for Malta, en route for Con.
stantinople. She takes out the,East India and China mails, which
will be forwarded to Alexandria by the Company's steamer Iberia.
She has 30 passengers, and a very full cargo of bale goods. The
Royal mail packet the Trent left yesterday for the %Vest Indies and
South America with the mails, 28 passengers, 8,000/., and 600
bottles of quicksilver.

ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.—Tuesday much disap-
pointment took place to several respectable families at the non.
attendance of the various charity schools within the bills of mor-
tality at St. Paul's Cathedral for the purpose of their annual
rehearsal day. The first Tuesday in June has, during upwards
of a quarter of a century, been appointed for that purpose; but
it appeared that a notice had been forwarded to some parochial
authorities that the rehearsal and grand days will not take
place this year till next week, when, it has been intimated that
her Majesty, with several:of the Royal Family, and a numerous suite,
will honour that interesting meeting with their presence.
GRECIAN SALooN.—We perceive, by the bills of
this establishment, that a sumptuous bill of fare has been provided
for Friday, the 6th of June, upon an occasion of the most inte-
resting nature—one which will no doubt call together a vast
number of the trade, and ensure the patronage of the public. The
evening is to be devoted to a benefit in aid of the funds of the
Licensed Victuallers' Asylum. To oiler anything in praise of such
a cause would be superogatory. We will, however, observe that
the attractions of the night are such as to warrant the expectation
of a crowded house, which all who are admirers of the principles
of charity and benevolence will, with ourselves, anxiously desire
to see.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—On Saturday
the second annual meeting of the members of the Institute took
place at their rooms in George-street. The attendance was unusually
large. The Earl of Devon took the chair at half-past two, and was
supported by Lord James Sivart, M.P., Sir George Staunton, M.P.,
Mr. George Wilbraham, Sir John Yarde Buller, M.P., Mr. Pen-
darves, M.P., Brigadier-General Sir Henry Pynn, Capt. Maconochie,
R.N., Mr. Wynn Ellis, M.P., Colonel Leicester Stanhope, Lord
Brougham, and many others of the vice-presidents of the society. The
annual report and balance-sheet showed that the income of the year
had covered the actual expenditure, and left a balance or surplus of
41. 19s. 3d., while the assets included 5,0001. in property, and 3,6001. in
Government securities, against which the only liability was a loan of
2,0001. The resolutions, which were passed unanimously, expressed
the entire satisfaction of the members with the direction and manage-
ment, and with the judicious administration of the funds; and votes
of thanks were tendered to the Noble President, trustees, vice-presi-
dents, and committee, for their valuable co-operation and support, as
well as to the resident directors and the secretary, for their faithful
and courteous discharge of their duties. The only matter of regret
was that Mr. Buckingham's valuable services for the past year could not
be requited out of the only source set apart for that purpose—namely,
the surplus of income over expenditure, which in this case amounted
fo 41. 19s. 3d. only for the whole year. It was unanimously resolved,
therefore, to present him with a substantial testimonial from the body
of the members, as a mark of their respect and entire satisfaction with
his management. I t had been thought by many, not acquainted with
the facts of the case, that his connexion with the institute was a
source of considerable pecuniary benefit ; but it transpired, in the
course of the meeting, that besides receiving nothing whatever in the
shape of salary, or other emolument, he had given for the use of the
members of the institute, in property and payments, with a view to
increase its attractions, upwards of a thousand pounds from his OWII
private means, so that his liberality and zeal were duly appreciated.
THE NATIONAL GALLERT.—A new Holbein, a
portrait, has lately been added to the gallery. It was formerly the
property of Mr. Rochard, and has been purchased by the trustees for
the sum of 8001. It is apparently the portrait of a professor of ana-
tomy, from the furred doctor's gown and the skull on which the hand
rests As there is a coat of arms in the left baud corner of the canvas
the identity of the portrait may be traced.

PROPOSED PAINTED WINDOW IN ST. JAMES'S
Cnuacn.—A meeting of noblemen and influential gentlemen of the
parish of St. .James's, Westmit.ster, was held on Tuesday in the
♦estry of the church for the purpose of carrying Into effect the plan
of placing a richly-painted window at the end of the church over
the communion table. The cost is estimated at 1,5001. Among the
donations were the following :—The Duke of Cleveland, 501. ; the
Archbishop of Armagh, 501. ; Mr. G. Byng, 251. ; the Rev. J. G.
Ward, 251.

RAILWAY GAMBLING.—The Committee on the
London, Chatham, and North Kent Railway having stopped Mr.
sergeant Wrangham in his reply on behalf of the Company, by
saying that "there appeared to the Committee to be no objection
to the line," a gentleman, who had been for some days
observed as an eager member of the antagonist group,
said hastily to a friend, "We lose 100,0001. by that."
The announcement of the chairman was followed by rather in..
temperate manifestations of triumph on the part of the supporters
of the Bill; and in the hearing of our reporter, it was stated with
great exultation that the shares of the North Kent would rise to
three per cent. by morning.
STATE or TRADE.—The demand for yarn con-
tinues exceedingly good, and prices are maintained with great
firmness. For goods, the market is not quite so active as
last week, but there is little or no change in prices. Some sen-
sation was caused on Saturday morning, by the announcement of
the failure of an extensive calico-printing house in Salford.
We are glad to learn, however, that this event will not cause
any loss, or indeed any serious inconvenience, as satisfactory ar-
rangements have been made to pay 20s. in thepound, with interest.
ROCIIDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 2.—We have
had a ♦ery good market to-day, and though the amount of bust.
ness transacted was not equal to that of last Monday, yet better
prices have been obtained for flannels. Wool remains firm, and
higher rates have been asked, but not generally given.-211anchesler
Guardian of this day.

---
NEW FAIR AT STOCKWELL.—Tuesday several.
clergymen and other inhabitants of Stockwell applied to Mr. Traill,
the Magistrate of the Southwark Police-court, for his assistance to
remove the nuisance of a new fair which commenced on Monday in a
private field at Stockwell. The Magistrate informed them he could
give no assistance, and that thc mods of Pfoceding 1"8 by
