LAMBETH.

On Tuesday Crispin George Fe,:illacle, a singular-looking.
young man, was charged before Mr. Henry, with annoying his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his Grace', ,t,i_
mystics at Lambeth Palace, by forwarding by po,t aud als
calling with various letters, and parcels for his Grace, and
deavoAting to effect an entrance into Lambeth Palior,. The
prisoner, who is small in stature, wore a thick pilot coat, whirl,
was buttoned close to the chin. His Vatures are sin
sharp, with dark piercing eyes, and altogether he pres, tiled a
singular appearance.
George Lipscombe, porter to his Grace the Archbkhoo of
Canterbury, deposed that about ten o'clock on that forenoon
the prisoner presented himself at the prioripal entrance to Lam-
beth Palace and &mantled an interview with his Grace the
Archbishop of Canterbury. Having been in. the habit of
frequently calling at the palace with letters and -rteitages for
his Grace the Archbishop, and also having retest," to give any
account or explanation of his object in addressing his Grace,
witness stopped him, and in order to put a stop to his fur-
ther annoyances, and fearing also that some time or other
he might avail himself of an opportunity of getting access to
the palace, he ( witness) sent for a policeman and gave him
into custody. In reply to tke question of Mr. Henry the
witness said the prisoner had been in the habit, for upwards
of a month, of endeavouring to get an interview with his
Grace the Archbishop, and also endeavouring to tor-
ward letters and parcels to his Grace ; but, as he had always
refused to disclose his object or the purport of the letters,
(witness) had received instructions from the steward not to
forward them to his Grace. Having particularly noticed his
writing, witness stopped two of the prisoner's notes, addressed
to his right rev, master, but he had no doubt, from what he

PERCUSSION LOCKS AND TUBES APPLIED TO THE
SERVICE or FIELD GUNS.—At the general muster of the
Hon. Artillery Company, which took place at their ground in
Finsbury-square, to celebrate the birth-day of his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, the double royal salute was thus fired for
the first time by the Artillery division, commanded by Captain
Iselin, when the superiority of this me:hod, and the precision
and rapidity of the explosions, as compared with the effect of
the old port fires and tubes, were very manifect to all who wit-
nessed the service. The brass guns of the Artillery Com-
pany were cast about the year 1804, and have been recently
examined, bouched, and fitted with percussion locks at the
Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.

We are informed that no railway in the country
exhibits so large an increase of traffic as the Manchester and
Birmingham line. The receipts of the last two weeks, as com-
pared with the corresponding period of last year, are as fol-

CHESTER and MANCHESTER DIRECT
RAILWAY.
At a meeting of the Committee of Management of this under-
taking, held this day, it was resolved that, in order to comply with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, as recently altered, it is
expedient to reduce the amount of each share to 201., and to extend
the number to 50,000, and that the deposit required be 21. 2s. on each
share, and that, in consequence of this alteration in the amount and
number of shares and the deposit required, the period within which
shares must be applied for be extended to the 28th instant for the
London applications, and to the 30th instant for country application.

LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1845.

In these times of Colonial mismanagement, the hard
fate of our distant, but noble transmarine possessions,
at all times harshly used, if not absolutely neg-
lected, is peculiarly cruel. It seems to be the
condition of Lord STANLEY'S continuance in office
that such of those dominions as, prior to his in-
cumbency of the Colonial Secretaryship, had made
large and rapid advances in commercial, and conse-
quently in financial, prosperity, should retrograde in
both respects from the moment of his Lordship's in-
auspicious advent to power. The West Indies, the
Canadas, the Australian Colonies, New Zealand, all
seem to be on the same tale. Vexatious imposts are
levied (like the pasturing licences for New South Wales)
on the domestic community of the Colonists, or their
trade is harassed and diminished to a fearful extent by
injudicious duties on all imported commodities. In
every case the complaints of the colonists resolve them-
selves into this allegation, that the interference of Down-
ing-street is exercised to their absolute prejudice, and
under circumstances of obtrusiveness and annoyance,
for the most part as distasteful to the local authorities as
to the people placed under their charge. Some day, it is
to be expected, the country will be informed, in the
usual course of Parliamentary disclosures, how it can have
happened that results so discouraging and so little cre-
ditable to the administrative talents of the chief, within
whose official jurisdiction, as it were, they have occurred,
can have been produced. Here we have the graziers—
there the sugar-growers,—in one island the coffee
planters,—in another the hide-curers,—to-day the
fishers of Newfoundland, to-morrow the producers of

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY

CORN-EXCHANGE.
Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat of home produce
for our market have been very moderate, get we had a large
number of samples on sale this morning left over from that
day. The accounts from the provinces being of a more fa-
vourable character, and the attendance of buyers limited, the
demand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state. without
any alteration in prices. The show of fine Foreign Wheat
was comparatively small. Selected qualities were held
at full rates of currency. In all other kinds next
to nothing was doing. Corn under lock was a
mere drug, and almost nominal in value. Scarcely
any English Barley was on offer, and the supply of
that of foreign produce was, comparatively speaking, limited.
Grinding and distilling sorts moved off steadily, at full
prices, but malting parcels were a slow sale. Superfine
season-made Malt was in request. In other qualities, very
few sales were reported, The Oat trade was heavy, at barely
last week's figures. Beans and Peas supported late rates,
but Flour was very dull.

SPAIN.

By the slave-trade treaty with Spain, of the 231 of
September, 1817, Great Britain engages to pay Spain
400.0001., on the 20th of February, 1818, as compensa-
tion for all losses sustained by Spanish subjects in con-
sequence of the abolition of the traffic.

notice. It is a return of the expences of liberated Afri-
cans, and of the liberated African'department, in each year,
from Dec. 1838, to Dec. 1844, including buildings and all
contingent expenses, so far as the same can be made out

THIRD EDITION OF « THE SUN."

,z~r

We have received many complaintsfrom Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (ti..; Post-
office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seven—The " Gamlles" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Official
Prices of Shares in Railways, (to. .lc.—The Betting at Tattersall's on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Ra:lway Committees up to the close—and all other
news arriving in London after three o'clock in the afternoon, when the
Second or Evening Edition goes to press.
In distant parts of the cossii'ry, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
nouns in Anvencg,‘a•matter of importance to those who want early
intelligence.
In those places where the eveiiing mail arrives in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN,7containing ALL the Debates, tic. &c., will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.
Respectable Agents will a'woys supply the proper paper; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The
Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their
representations.

THE HISTORY OF

MAR GA11:1;ST CATO lIPOLE,
A SUFFOLK GIRL.
" This extraordinary female underwent some of the most singular
vicissitudes that perhaps ever marked the career of woman. She
was tried and condemned to death at Bury Assizes in 1797, broke
out of prison at Ipswich, was retaken, sentenced again to death, and
her punishraant changed to transportation for life. Retrieving her
character in Australia, she distinguished herself in many new ad-
ventures, obtained a free pardon, and married a wealthy settler, wdo
left her sole mistress of an immense fortune."

To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills.
Sirs,—Having used Parr's Life Pills on several occasions when at-

their efficacy, I beg leave, in justice to you, as proprietors of the me-
dicine, to testify as much.—Yours, respectfully,

pletely cure any disease, and are living witnesses of the benefit re-
ceived from this invaluable medicine. Sheets of testimonials and the
