entirely owing to his exertions, and the representa-
tions made by him to the Board of Trade, that it was
not then carried into effect. The operatives, being
truly grateful to Mr. Tynte for the benefit conferred
on them by his exertions, presented him with a splendid
piece of plate, whilst some of the manufacturers, forget-
ing his services, and with a degree of ingratitude un-
paralleled, opposed him at the election in 1837, and as-
sisted in returning Mr.Acland in his stead. We rather
think that Mr.Tynte's services will now be much missed,
and we hope that some little compunction will be
felt by those who acted in the manner above stated.
With respect to the reduction of the duty, we cannot
consider that it will operate so very unfavourably to
the trade as many might imagine, as there can be no
doubt that it will lessen the inducement to smuggle
French gloves into this kingdom, and we are confi-
dent (and we are well aware that many of the manu-
facturers are of the same opinion) that were the
Corn and Provision-laws totally abolished, or even if
a low fixed duty was put on corn instead of Sir Ro-
bert Peel's beautiful sliding scale, that the British
manufacturer would be able to compete with the
foreigner, and that no protecting duty, as it is called,
would be required ; though we cannot see why Sir
Robert. Peel and the present Government, who appear
to be so much attached to a sliding scale, should riot
carry it a little further, and put a sliding scale duty
on the importation of French gloves and other foreign
articles, and thus tar all with the same brush.—So-
merset County Gazette.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
T A TT ERSALV S—Yissrit aney.
The Derby betting was of infinitely greater impor-
tance than on any public day this season. Its interest
was derivable from the exrtaordinary animation with
which some of Scott's powerful lot were backed, viz. :
Attila, the Lord of Holderness, Meteor, and the Joanna
colt ; this quartette, in fact, engrossed the attention of a
full room, during a considerable portion of the afternoon,
and from the confidence with which their respective par-
tisans laid out their money, he would be a bold man who
would venture to say which had received the right
" office." Attila was backed for upwards of 10001., at
9 to 1, 25 to 3, and 41 to 5, the layers at first being un-
commonly hot ; they cooled, however, towards the close,
and the last offers on the field did not exceed 8 to 1. Me-
teor was backed at odds, commencing at 40, rising to 25,
and finishing at 30 to 1 ; the Joanna c was backed eagerly
at 1,000 to 35, and 25 to 1; and the Lord of Holderness
with equal spirit at 25, 23, and 22 to 1 ; and at the
lower of the prices against the two last named horses,
their friends would have gone on. Auckland, Chatham,
and Wiseacre were slightly on the decline, and Palinu-
rus and Defier seriously so ; in other respects the bet-
ting was not of importance.
For the 2,000 Guinea Stakes, Wiseacre was backed at
2 to 1 (afterwards offered), and Meteor at 7 to 2.
The Oaks and Chester Cup were scarcely mentioned.

RELEASE OF HOGAN.
THE CAROLINE AFFAIR,'
(FROM OUR- CITY CORRE 'PONDENT.)
At the sailing of the Patrick Henry, the New York
Correspondent of the Proprietor of the North and South
American Coffee-house, put a letter on board
which contains intelligence some hours later,
it is believed, than any in London, and which
has been posted in the Subscription-room of that
establishment ; it states, " You will see, by the papers,
that another person has been arrested at Lockport, on
the charge of having been on board the Caroline when
she was burnt. I am happy to be able to inform you
that Judge Ransom, before whom Mr. Hogan was taken,
ordered his discharge on the ground of the insufficiency
of the warrant for his arrest.'

KEEPING-UP APPEARANCES !—Much as the read-
ing world, and through it, the community in general,
were indebted to the genius and acquirements of the
accomplished and lamented writer, so long known to all
Europe as L. E. L., perhaps none of the works published
during her life time, furnishes such indisputable evi-
dence of her desire and power to benefit her countrymen,
and particularly her country women, as the admirable
posthumous lessons she has left them, on that curse and
ridicule of modern England, the passion for " Keeping-
up Appearances." It will come home like a household
truth to every class and description of readers. Mrs.
Maclean's new novel is, in fact, a keen satire on one of
the most crying and mischievous follies of our time and
country; and if the " Lady Anne Granards" of every
grade of the community—and there is no grade without
them—do not feel and benefit by it, they are even more
callous than they are cruel to themselves and, all about
them. Every one of the characters in this novel is a
portrait, so individualised, that it is difficult to suppose it
not drawn from actual life ; and the whole are so skil-
fully and compactly connected together, that the book
reads like a piece of real domestichistory—indited, how-
ever, by a pen that seems to move
_into epigrams of its
own accord—as the mouth of the Fairy only opened to
emit flowers.

BRUSSELS, MArtcit 26.—The Court of Assize
passed sentence yesterday on the persons cused of a
plot against the State. The question relative to Madame
Vandersmissen and Messrs. Parys, J. IL Vandersmissen
and Parent, having been answered In the negative, the
Court ordered the acquittal of these persons, who were
immediately set at liberty. The questions relative to
De Crehen were answered in the affirmative, but
the jury likewise answered in the affirmative
the question whether Article 108 (this Article exempts
accomplices who give information to the authorities) of
the penal code is applicable to him. In consequence
M De Crehen was acquitted and set at liberty. The
questions rels.ltive to A. L. N. Vandermeine, J. D. Van-
dersmissens Pa Virpract, and J. C. R. Van Laethens
were answered in the affirmative. The Court condemned
them to death and payment of the costs.
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—WO are
glad to learn that the pre-eminent facilities afforded to
travellers by the above splendid undertaking, are already
triumphing over the unjustifiable combination formed
against it. A Reverend Gentleman from the West, who
signed the obligation to discourage the undertaking,
found it expedient to avail himself of its facilities on
Tuesday last ; and so delighted was he with his trip,
that he returned to Edinburgh by the same mode of
conveyance the same day. We could mention many
other instances of persons taking advantage of the -rail-
way, notwithstanding their having previously signed the
declaration.—Seetsman.

We learn from Boulogne, 22d inst, that the weather
at sea had been dreadful for some days past. A fishing.
boat of that port had been wrecked on the English coast,
and nine of the crew out of ten were drowned. The
Ulysse of Nantes, laden with corn, had gone ashore to
the east of Boulogne, and been knocked to pieces by the
waves, but the captain and crew had been saved by
means of the lifeboat.
The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry has had
another severe attack of illness. His Lordship was In
great danger for some time, and still remains extremely
