DIsTRESS IN THE Col:Nprzy.

Mr. IL YORKE begged leave to ask a question
which he had given notice. of the Right lion. Baronet
the head of her -.Nlajcsty's Government. The eincf.ticut
he desired to ask Iyas, whether the Government irmie-
tuted or intended to institute—sanction, or intemied to
shuctiou--any public subscription for the relief -of the
destitute districts of the country

Sir ROBERT PEEL said that her Majesty's Go-
vernment haring become acquainted with , thtt,•
distresses which prevailed in the country, did.
intend to it->titut” a public subscription.—(Hear, hear.)
Speaking generally, the patience of the people wa% sor
exemplary, that her Najesty's Goyerrunent (lid intend ics
raise subscriptions by the Queen's letter, and he iru%ted
that the appeal would be generally attended to. —(Hear.)

BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE.
Tile Great Room at the Mart was yesterday nume-
musty crowded by capitalists, many of them in the ex-
pectation of getting great bargain, from the circum-
stances being rumoured that required the sale to be ti -
peremptory one. Mr. George Robins delivered a long .
and very animated exordium, in which he praised very „
highly the measures adopted by Sir Robert Peel for.
setting at rest the differences of opinion regarding the
Corn-laws. He stated that it was impossible for human
wisdom to have allotted a more sensible, just, and honest
arrangement, as between the landowners and the public; •
it was, in fact, a measure altogether worthy of the high
renown of our highly-gifted Minister. In this strain
Mr. Robins went ollibr a lengthened period, and evi--
&nay succeeded in carrying his audience entirely with
him in the view he took of the stability now of landed in. •
vestment as compared with the uncertainty of previoni
years. The rental is 1,000/. a-year, and with a suppo-
sititious value only for the mansion and manors, said to.
be 1,2001. a-year ; but the real annual value was confi-
dently declared to be from 1,000/. to 1,200/. a-yes-r-
He sold the estate for 30,000 guineas, independently of
the timber, which is to be taken at a fair valuation. Mr.
Wood, the solicitor of Woodbridge, was the purchaser
for one of his Suffolk clients. The event of yesterday is
one of importance, inasmuch as it proves the wisdom
displayed by Sir Robert Peel, and demonstrates a fact
which before was doubtful, that his arrangement of the
Corn-laws has not at all deteriorated the value of land-

within the last ten days accounts had been
received which stated that Omar wbo had been
the subject of observation in that House a few
nights before, bad kidnapped and sent to Con-
stantinople five or seven Chit4fs of the. Druseq.,
lie • wished to know if her Majesty's Gorent-
inent had received accounts of such trtuisaTtieert.
He would wish to ask another question, hut he NViZA save
the Right Hon. Baronet would not answer it ;hut stilt
he might expres.s a hope that if this circuruliance had
happened, that the Government would tiud, in the uatnre
of the case, sufficient grounds for assisting anti affording
their'good offices in favour of the perons who had been
apprehended in a treacherous manner, and removed iron;

SUMMARY OF MEWS

AND
Vitifitr 14,0intou.

" Who runs may read."

FOGN.
In the French Chamber REI
of Deputies on Wednesday, N.
Dupin called the attention of the House to the necessity of
enacting severe penalties against railway accidents, it being
absurd and ridiculous to puriish wi'h a mere fine only errors
that may arise from neglect, ignorance, or presumption, when
those en ors lead to such disastrous effects as those that have
filled Paris with grief and horror.
M. Thiers delivered a long speech on the Railway Bill. He
ridiculed the pretensions of Germany to having any great lines
of railroad laid down but in maps, and proposed for France, in-
s:end of the plan laid down in the law project, one single great
line from north to south, frop Lille to Paris, and from thence
to Marseilles through Lyons. He should protest against the
faults about to be committed, first to engage the resources of
the country for a length of time, and next to scatter their
strength, in place of concentrating it on a single point.
The P 1 esse mentions a report that, amongst the articles
seized a few days ago. is the Passage Violet, were thirty-four
bombs of strong sheet iron, filled with bullets and fulminating
powder, and of which even the accidental explosion might have
caused grave accidents in the places where they were deposited.
The Temps rut the following questions to M. Guizot :
" Is it true that a short time after the treaty of 15th July M.
Guizot, in the hopes-of obtaining some concessions from Eng-
land, consented to the "Right of search Treaty, such as it has
been signed on the 20th December, 1841 ? Is it true that M.
Guizot, the Ambassador in London, proposed at that time to
M. Thiers, who was President of the Council, the accession of
France to the latter treaty, on 'condition of certain modifications
to the one of 15th July? Isit,ntit true that M. Thiers peremp-
torily refused?" • '‘
A private latter from Madrid-IA the sth states that Govern-
ment has issued most preremptory orders to the civil and mili-
tary authorities of Barcelona to maintain the public peace.
The late seditious events in that city called forth in the Senate
for some explanations from Ministers, who answered that mea
cures of caution and repression had been adopted to preserve the
tranquillity of the town.
Some questions were put to the Spanish Ministry, and in the
Senate on the 4th, as to the late riots at Barcelona. The
Minister of the ntcrior replied, that there was nothing alarm-
ing in the state of that town, and that this necessary orders
had been issued to prevent a renewal of the disturbances.
The Minister of War, presented in Congress a Bill to fix the
number of the Spanish army for the year 1842, at 90,000 men,

A quarrel took place last week between two youth
of Mulhausen, in Alsace, one 15, the other 16 years of age
and ended in a fight, in which the youngest got severely
beaten. Derermined to have his revenge, he filled his hand-
kerchief with stones, and, waiting the approach of his adver-
sary, struck him with such force on the chest, that the poor
fellow immediately dropped down senseless, and, after linger.
ing two days in great pain, expired. The assassin was taken
into custody. To meet the ends of justice, it was necessary
that an autopsy of the deceased should be taken ; but his pa-
rents opposed this with so much obstinacy, that the _Magistrates
were obliged to have recourse to main force before the opera-
tion could be performed.

THE PACKET STATION,

A MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS

which will not be disregarded. The grazing portion of the land is
unsurpassable ; the cattle fed at Payntou are soon recognised at
Smithfield. The produce from the meadow land
EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE,

and barley. It has beside 10 Acres of new orchard and 16 of woods

THE LIGHT OF ALL NATIONS.—The effOrts of 2slr•
Bush last year to construct the " Light of all Nations," it will
be recollected, were frustrated by failure. Conseqnently, his
caisson has been since reconstructed; and about three weeks
ago he succeeded in getting it afloat off Deal Beach. Expecta-
tion was raised to the highest pitch that success this season
would crown his efforts. Unfortunately, however, the other
day the caisson again broke down, but whether this accident is
likely to be fatal to the project, or otherwise, we have notheard.
RETUIINED TRANSPORTS.-Duriug the last few
days a tabular report of the names of convicts who have escaped
while under transportation at. Hobart Town, and which was
printed at the above colonial possession, has been forwarded to
the various police courts of the metropolis. The document is
dated the lst of January, and is subscribed by Mr. Forster, the
chief police Magistrate. There are the naives of 445 convicts,
with the description of their persons, the length of their trans-
portation, and the situations that they have run away from.
The rewards for the secovery of the convicts amounted to
between 2/. and Si., with the exception of three cases, in which
rewards of 150/. and IQO/. were offered.

THOSE WHO DESIRE TO PURCHASE WITHOUT

ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND, WITHIN A RING

TIONABLE TENANTRY.
MR. tiEORGE ROBINS is desired by the
Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the
Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY next, the 28th of July, at
Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot,
A FREEHOLD ESTATE of considerable value, and one that
seems not to have a single alloy to counteract it.
TIIE GRAFTON ESTATE
has long since acquired considerable renoww, which may be traced
in a great degree to the superiority of the soil; although it will
presently be seen that it numbers many other ingredients to enlist
a purchaser into
THIS SOUND INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL.
The property is situate close to some of i he best markets in Eng-
land. It is only 6 miles from Tewkesbury and Evesham; 9 from
Cheltenham; and only
THREE MILES FROM THE RAILWAY STATION.

It comprehends nearly
THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF GRAFTON.

which, unainore fanil,ar acquaintance, will strongly bring to re-
collection thr, beautiful 'delineation given to

"OUR VILLAGE," BY MISS MITFORD.
The tenantry are all congregated here, and a more complete
picture of contentment and happiness is nowhere to be found.
There are
THREE MOST CAPITAL DAIRY FARMS,
ENTIRELY EXEMPT FROM TITHES, AND VERY
MODERATE OUTGOINGS.
It has been observed they are dairy farms, inasmuch as some of the
best Gloucester cheese is yearly traced to Grafton; but at purchaser
may at this present writing see some of the most
PRODUCTIVE CROPS OF CORN THROUGHOUT
ENGLAND,

a circumstance not very difficult of comprehension when it is
called to mind that
THE ESTATE IS IN THE GOLDEN VALE
of Evesham. A turnpike-road passei through it to Tewkesbury
and Cheltenham, and the roads around it in every direction are
capital, with

THE ORCHARDING IS ABUNDANT,
and gives premise of so much Cyder and Perry this season, that it
may fairly be inferred it will Improve " THE WAYS AND
MEANS" of the honest trio who compose the happy tenantry
upon Grafton, and who (with ancestors of ancient date) have for
many a long year reposed in profitable delight in our village. It
would be quite impossible for a purchaser to select three more re-
spectable or more talented yeomen than Messrs. Izard, Crump, ansi
Martin. The estate consists of
FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES
of first-rate Land, and no Tithe, including Plantations enough to
diversify and improve the picture; the country around it present-
ing a landscape that is almost comparable to the Num.t beauties of
Devonshire. The tenantry have never had leases, and from their
high respectability and good management, have been so fortunate
as to continue, a very long period, at an inadequate rent of 8001.

MANUFACTURE OF STARCH, &c.—Amidst the dis-
mal state of business which has long existed here, and she
gloomy forebodings which are hourly poured forth as to the fu-
ture prospects of the town, it has afforded us very great pleasure
indeed to witness this week the various processes of a new ma-
nufacture which has been introduced, and to all appearance
with meat success, while almost every other branch around us
is languishing under depression. By some discoveries made a
few mouths back by Messrs. Brown and Poison, they were in-
duced to attempt themanufacture of starch and arrow-root, en a
principle new to themselves. It being an important part of their
business to use a considerable quantity of starch themselves, they
hail ample opportunities of testing the quality of ass article of
that description, which they commenced making, and the de-
cided sspersority which they soon discovered it to possess, in-
duced them to offer it in the market. Like every other new
article, some little difficulty was at first felt in obtaining cus-
tomers, but these gradually and speedily diminished, and al-
though riot more than three months have elapsed since the first
preparation of the article for sale, we were gratified and sur-
prised, on our inspection of the work, to find upwards of 20
persons employed in the department of making up the packages
alone. By referring to an advertisement on the subject, it will
be observed that both the starch and al.:ow-root of Mersrs.

THROUGHOUT EUROPE,

KNOWN AS SLAB3ERT'S POORT, AND CONTAINING
43,304 ACRES OF FINE PASTURAGE.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce to
those who are inclined to improve their fortunes in another
and very favoured country, and in a climate THAT HAS NO
CONTEMPORARY IN EUROPE, that he is instructed to
OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on
THURSDAY, August 18, at Twelve,
A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY,
ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATE AT
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

offering attractions and advantages. of the utmost moment to
the emigrant Farmer with capital, or the great Capitalist,
who wil: know well how to appreciate the benefits which
his capital, with labour and exertions, will command, in
a cotaitry where the soil and climate are the most genial, and cer-
tain, at all periods of the year, to facilitate the laudable endea-
vour to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold
and praiseworthy efforts will so justly entitle him; next in inipor.
tance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by this
country to Settlers,

THE TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM

GOVERNMENT, AND UNQUESTIONABE;
and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as
SLABBERT'S POORT,
one of the most valuable and extensive estates throughout the Cape
of Good Elope. It is situated in the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in
the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33.15 to 20, and
east longitude 23.13 to 15, near thelraka River. It is
A SHEEP FARM,
and unquestionably may be ranked as decidedly one of the best in
the Cape. The bill pastures are covered with sweet grass from
the baie to the summit. On the plains will be found plenty of
grass and succulent herbage, on which sheep and cattle get fat
very rapidly. In this district the Estate comprehends
43,304 ACRE;,; OF RICH PASTURAGE,
which must always be the source of immense pecuniary gain.
THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE

WHOLE YEAR,
which, under able management, it is needless to remark, will afford
the most ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the
profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe.
rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small
house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it ; a garden planted
with fruit trees and 3,000 vines; also five permanent springs,
giving a never.failing supply of water.
The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates
as follows:—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com-
mands the best pastUrage on the River Iraka ; and as the high
road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the
farm, it presents a very favourable position for _ _ _

And amongst the agremens connected with Grafton, it being with.
out the annoyance of an overgr,w n house upon it, is one of some
import. To conclude, It may ta well to observe, that the rents arc
paid most punctually ; and Lavater has marked conspicuously on
their countenances that the word abatement never entered into
their imagination,
The Estate can be seen, by the kind peanissiou of these intel-

it cannot be too highly appreciated. Its outward form, by means
of the stone galleries and balconies in two directions, are of an im-
posing character, and the Lawn and Pleasure Grounds, extending
to the little Park, form a landscape of no small attraction—indeed
the property is so prettily timbered, that it seems to claim a rank
bey and its natural pretensions. Fite principal rooms on the ground.
floor are aq in communication with the galleries, thence to the
Lawn and paddocks. The Bed-room department is abundant, and
ther, are all tha offices essential to render it most desirable for oc-
cupation. There is a snug little Farm connected, extending to
THE NEW FOREST, WHICH IS THE BOUNDARY.

A Kitchen-garden, walledround, and all the offices that are essen.
tial will be found in the Courtyard. The situation is really in-
ccmparably fine, the scenery is picturesque and lovely; and those
who would sojourn in quietude, and repose in comfort, away from
the noise and turmoil of business, yet surrounded by a vicinage
prone to sociability, and of the best society in England, will find,
this little purchase an absolute " Godsend." The Railway has
reduced the journey from London to 31/2 hours; to Southampton
it is a drive of 40 minutes; Lyndhurst is within two miles; and a
visit to THE ISLE OF WIGHT

is now an affair of little more than one short hour. Such is a
brief but imperfect outline of Bartley House, which Is strongly re-
commended by Mr. Robins as a purchas of rare occurrenci-.

LONDON:
TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1842.

Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends boast very much
of the effect of the new tariff., During the first week
it came into operation, the qustom-houses of London
and the outports were crowded with people clearing
goods—extra clerks were required, it was said—and
more business was done in that week, than had been
done before for six months. Its beneficial effects are
visible in an importation of horned cattle from Rot-
terdam and pigs from Sweden. Already, the grocers
of the Metropolis have placarded their windows with
Effects of the Tariff. Prime Java Coffee, Is. Bd.
per lb," and so on. Potatoes may soon be expected
from the Ems and the Weser, and, conjoined with a
good harvest at home, We are told to expect universal
cheapness.
Far be it from us to deny the advantages of ever
so small a reduction of duty, or of the removal
of ever so trifling a restriction on trade ; but
we may
.be allowed to ask,,.. such great
benefits are to flow from reducing certain extrava-
gant duties, and lightening cert onerous
,regric=
tions, what would he the effect. of the, fetal abolition-
'of sueh fiscal regulations? If the grocer, instead of
placarding his Windows with Coffee, lsr Bd, could
put up Best COffee, ls. ; .Best Refined' Loaf Sugar,
; Best Rice, Id. ;—if the butcher, too, instead of ex-
hibiting no bill at all, by the total abolition of all duties
on foreign cattle of all descriptions, could announce
the glorious news of Prime Joints at 4d., Necks and
Scrags, id. ;—if the baker, also, by the total abolition
of Corn-laws, could put up bills, statingßest Bread sold
here, four pounds for 3d. ;—and if the green grocer
could gladden the hearts of all the eaters of potatoes
with an announcement that he would willingly sell
six pounds for a penny—would there not be a jubilee
throughout the land? Men would be frantic with hap-
piness. Would not the hearts of thousands be imme-
diately gladdened, and their eyes, be dried ? Would
not mothers again claq their little ones to their
bosoms with affection, and piously and gratefully
thank Goy the dreadful famine was at an end ? Would
not the flown-stricken father, too, immediately hasten
to his old employer, and willingly offer his services on
the master's terms, sure to receive the employment
which had been denied him for weeks ? Would not
all the green-grocers, bakers, butchers, and grocers
immediately hold up their heads, and feel certain that
their trade would again revive? All these things
would occur; and the rejoicing of the Monopolists or
Peelites over the benefits of some paltry reduction of
duties, and some substitution of high, duties for prohi-
bitions, is their testimony to the immensely larger be-
nefits which would accrue from the total abolition of
all discriminating duties.

And who would be injured by the universal cheap.
