Property of the stewards of the Ruby, was stolen from

The English labourer toils continually, and the cases
are few in which there is not some job to attend to
even on the Sabbath. We give up the old boast
that an Englishman can beat two Frenchmen ;
but we maintain that he will grow more wheat
than six Tuscans. What nonsense then to talk

about the necessity of a reduction of wages.
" But then," cry the monopolists, " you forget
our enormous national debt, the interest of which

swallows up annually so many millions of revenue.
How are we to pay that without protection ?" Now,
we remember all this very well. Let as ask in re-
turn how does Richard Cobden and the manufac-
turers contrive to compete with other nations, and yet
pay their share of the debt ? They want no protection;
and vet in a country which produces no raw silk,
it is a thousand times a greater miracle to produce a
cheap silk dress than a cheap bushel of wheat. We want
no protection for our manufactures, yet they pay
largely towards defraying the interest of the national
debt. We, seek no protection for our commerce,
and yet our ships pay more towards the interest of
our debt than our acres. But the whole system of
monopoly is a fallaCy—a systern for the plunder of
the De-Everythings to maintain for ever in hahrithis'
idleness the ,Do-Nothings.,--ilull-Advertiser.
EXTRAORDINARY. RESOLUTION AND PERSEVERANC3L
—We have this week , to record a, feat of extra-
ordinary perseverance, so rare indeed, that we much
doubt whether its parallel can be found. On the
19th of November last, a person of the name of
Themias Wressel, aged 63, died at Wisbeach, in the
county of Cambridge, and previous to his demise
he expressed a wish to his only sister, who resided
with him, that his remains should be interred in the
churchyard at Clarborough, near Retford, at which
place he had formerly lived, and where his mother
and some of his family had been interred. With
astonishing resolution the sister resolved upon
fulfilling his last injunctions, and set forth with
the remains of her brother in a donkey cart.
The distance between Wisbeach and Clarborough
is ninety-seven miles. During the journey the coffin,
which projected from behind the cart, was covered
with a ragged coverlet, upon which the dejected sister
sat. At length, after being eleven days on the road,
the funeral procession reached Clarborough on the 2d
of December, and the body lay, as it had travelled in
the cart, in an outhouse of one of the village inns,
until Sunday, December 4, when the last rites of the
church were performed over it by the Rev. W. R.
Sharpe, curate ; and after its long transit, it was com-
mitted to its last earthly resting-place. The woman
herself was not attired in decent mourning., but readily
paid the funeral expenses, and expressed her determi-
nation to return to Wisbeach by the conveyance in
which she had come, in order to dispose of some little
property there, preparatory to residing at Clarbo-
rough ; so that she may be sure of laying her bones
beside his bones, and that the kindred dust of the
family may commingle together, until the trump of
the Archangel shall summon them to meet the Lord
in the air. The woman is sixty years of age, and
the remains of her brother were only placed in a
single coffiin, although he had been dead for the long
period of fifteen days ere the earth received back its
own.—Nottingham Journal.
The Rhone, a Lyons journal, relates that a rich
and avaricious widow, named Gayet, living in a house
of her own, at the Guillotiere, and who was a great
coquette, although of the ripe age of 55, committed
suicide a few days ago, in consequenCe of having lost
her lover, and, at the same time, from disappointment
at not receiving a large inheritance which she had

long been expecting. She had destroyed herself by
suffocation, and was not discovered for several days.
Her cat also lay dead by her side, but had previously
devoured a part of her mistress's face.
LEEDS SAVINGS BANK.—We have much pleasure
in requesting public attention to the continued pros-
perity of the Leeds, Skyrac, and Morley Savings'
Bank. At the forty-ninth half-yearly meeting of
the Trustees and Directors, held on the 19th instant,
it was ascertained by the accounts that since the com-
mencement of that valuable Institution 19,534 persons
have paid into the bank the sum of 743,9181.155. 3d.,
and have, as their occasions required, withdrawn the
sum of 622,8451. 3s. The interest money withdrawn
bears a very small proportion to the interest accu-
mulated, and, including such accumulation, there re-
mains the sum of 232,2681. 1 ls. 10d. at the disposal
of the present depositors.—Leeds Mercury.
CHRISTMAS GAIETY. The gaiety • that reigns
supreme at this jocund period of the year, when
friends and lovers congregate at the social board, or
whirl in the giddy mazes of the dance, renders a
strict attention to the toilet more desirable than at

other periods. It is, at this gay time that the
virtues and singularly happy properties of Rowland's
Kalydor and Rowland's Macassar Oil shine pre-
eminent in their powers, and the white and swan-like
neck, no less than the rich luxuriant tress, form happy
. .

trophies of their inestimable powers. As appropriate
presents, therefore, to the ladies, they claim peculiar
attention.
ST. JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER. Mr. Peter Le
Quainter, formerly of Piccadilly, who died in the
year 1783, left the residue of his personal estate, since
invested in the purchase of 8,7851.55. 9d. Old South
Sea Annuities, to the Rector and Churchwardens of
this parish for the time being, upon trust that the in-
terest, dividends, and proceeds thereof be yearly and
every year for ever at Christmas equally divided, dis-
tributed, and given unto and amongst 20 poor per-
sons, who were or had been housekeepers in the said
parish of St. James, Westminster, and such as the
Rector and Churchwardens, and the other gentlemen
for the time being composing the vestry of the said
parish, should deem to be proper objects, and the most
deserving to partake of the same. According to annual
custom, the distribution of this munificent bequest,
amounting to 2631. 11s. 2d., was made by the Rector,
Churchwardens, and Vestrymen, on the 21st instant,
when twenty persons coming within the terms of the
testator's will, some of whom were once in affluent
circumstances and possessed large houses in the parish
received their shares of the bounty, being 131. 3s. 6d.
each.
FILIAL PIETY.—In the Insolvent Debtcrs' Court,
at Cork, last week, Andrew Coughlan, a very old and
infirm man, applied for his discharge. One Michael
Coughlan was sworn, and deposed that he had arrested
the insolvent and brought him to Cork. The Com-
missioner—What relation are you to the insolvent ?
Witness—He is my father. And did you arrest your
own father ?—I did, when I was paid for it.—The
witness retired amid a murmer of execration. The
insolvent was discharged.—Dublin Journal.

CORPORATION REFORM.

Mr. JOHN FROST rose to bring forward a motion to
the wardmote, which he had previously proposed on
the Wednesday, but which, on the recommendation
of the Lord Mayor, he had agreed to postpone until
this day. It was not his intention to impute blame
to any particular person, but be contended that there
was gross mismanagement in conducting its affairs.
lie held in his hand the report of the City funds for
1839, from which it would appear that in that year a
sum of no less than 170,0001. was expended. No such
sum, he contended, should be expended, without con-
siderable advantages resulting. He had selected a
few of the items, at the head of which he would
name the sum of 4,0001. spent in the conservancy of
the Thames. Mr. Frost then specified the items of
the expense. He concluded by proposing a resolu-
tion to the effect that it was the opinion of the ward-
mote that the exception of the City of London from
the operation of the Municipal Reform Act was much
to be regretted, as it permitted an extravagant outlay
and unnecessary imposts, and deprived many citizens
of their most important privileges.
Mr. MooRE proposed the following amendment :
" That the wardmote request the members of the
ward to promote, by all means in their power, all
practical reforms and economy connected with the
Corporation, consistent with upholding the dignity of
the Chief Magistrate, and becoming the ancient in-
stitutions of the City, and which may conduce to the
interests and benefit of the inhabitants at large."
Mr. LEONARD seconded the amendment, which, on
being put by the Lord Mayor, was carried by a con-
siderable majority.
The usual votes of thanks were passed to Sir M.
Wood, Bart., Alderman of the ward, the members of
the Common Council, and the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor, after which the wardmote dissolved.
C ORD WAINER S;

Yesterday, at three o'clock, the election of Common
Councilmen of this ward terminated as follows :

Mr. Muddell
Mr. Croucher
Mr. Lett . 62 Mr. Taylor 26
Mr. Joyce ...... .... 60
Mr. Alderman WOOD declared the first six to be
duly elected.
