LONDON!
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 2, 1842.

We have to regret that the other demands on our co-
lumns will not allow us to insert in extenso an account,
which has been forwarded to us from the office of the
Leeds Times, of a meeting of the shopkeepers held in
that borough on Wednesday last. It is, however, much
too important for us wholly to omit it in the present
state of the country, and we therefore lay an abridge-
ment of it in this place before our readers.

The requisition for calling the meeting was signed by
upwards of 200 respectable tradesmen of all parties and
politics, and all sects in religion. The meeting was held
under the auspices of the Mayor, and is said to have con-
sisted of not less than 800 persons. Not a murmur of
dissent was uttered at any of the statements, and not a
hand was held up in opposition to any of the resolutions.
What was said, therefore, and what was done, may be con-
sidered as an index to public opinion at Leeds, to which
the respectable middle classes testify.
The first resolution expressed alarm, the alarm of the
balk of the inhabitants of Leeds, at " the present un-
paralleled distress and suffering," particularly "in the
township of Leeds, where not less 04411 4,00 &rallies
are receiving parochial reliefi and all the other town-
borough are in an equally distressed con-
dition." It also affirms that the number of paupers is
alarmingly on the increase. The second resolution sets
forth, that while rates are on the lemasa„ property
is diminishing ; that mans persons have been degraded
from affitenq to poverty; and that unless some remedy
be tbund, they entertain the most serious apprehensions
for the continuance of public peace and 01-deA They
beseech the Legislature to male a searching inquiry
into the cause of this state of things, for which they
vouch; and they agree to memorialise her Majesty and
petition-the Parlitunont.
If by accident a railway carriage is upses, or a great
fire burns down a sre4 Iwinber of hawses, the
ready sympathy our people feel for the sufferers,

Among the excursions made by many of the members and
visitors of the British Association of Science, was one made on
Monday by a party of about 60 or 70, who started by train to
see the remarkable fossil trees exhumed by the excavations for
the Bolton line of railway. There are five or six of them, all
preserved with every care, covered under a penthouse, walled
round like a well, fur those below the level of the rail, and
wooden trap-doors. They consist of huge monocotyledonst,
sigillana, in character like to the equideter, or merestail, and
other enormous trees of thousands of years gone by.

THURSDAY, June 16th,

AN ELEO ANT VILLA IN THE SWISS STYLE,
delightfully situated at the entrance to the village of Farnham
Royal, and commanding a magnificent view of Windsor Castle,
and the adjacent country. The Villa has been recently built in
the most, complete manner, and wholly regardless of expense. The
balconies and verandah, and all the ornamental parts, are in singu.
lar good taste, and chiefly of carved oak. The principal windows
are decorated with paintings of elegant design ; and the furnishings
throdgl•out will, on examination, be found to exhibit the order
and symmetry of an elaborate taste, yet strength and durability are
every where conspicuous; and the mixture of solidity and ele.
gance is a prominent feature in this Villa, when compared with most
others of recent erection. It is

A SINGULARLY ELEGANT -LITTLE BIJOU,
one of a character to suit a moderate-sized family; though, from
its extreme order and compactness, it is, perhaps, more distinctly,

. _
UNE MAISON DE BACHELIER.
The lawn and flower garden are on a gentle slope, most tastefully
laid out, and planted with the choicest flowering shrubs. The
kitchen garden, in the rear, is very productive. The orchard is
well stocked with fruit trees.

Mr. Robins feels an irresistible impulse, to call the attention of
the elite in good taste to this delightful toy. Ills two miles from
Windsor, and two from the Great Western Station.

LIFE DEPAR IMENT.

The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.

PORTi. U GA L.
FALMOUTH, MAY 27.—The accompanying despatch was re-
ceived, per Lady Mary Wood steamer, arrived this afternoon
with Peninsular mails, having left Gibraltar on the 19th inst. ;
Cadiz, 20th ; Lisbon, 23d ; Oporto, 24th ; and from Vigo, •25th.
Lisnox, MAY 23.—The occurrences of the past week have
been wholly devoid of interest. The Government has Conti-
nued to occupy itself in procuring every means likely to en-
sure a triumph in the approaching elections, and to baffle by
every. assiduity the arduous exertions made use of by the Op-
position to obtain the same. Its financial, resources are at the
lowest ebb and•the ruinous arrangements it is still compelled to
make, to raise funds to meet the interest doe on the different
loans it has contracted, render it wholly out of its power to
defray the current expenses of the State. It is next to an
impossibility to calculate upon what plan or new invention it
will have recourse to to relieve it from the embarrassments
which are daily increasing and threatening the country, as I
mentioned befo•e, with an inevitable insolvency.
Another loan is currently affirmed to be already negotiating,
for the character or nature of which, whatever it may be, can
only tend to involve the place in deeper ruin, and hasten the
calamity universally predicted. The commercial treaty with
England was submitted for discussion to a Council of State,
held a few days ago. Its final conclusion is the subject of
general anxiety and interest, and bn Thursday last, the 19th, a
sumptuous dinner was given by Lord Howard de Walden, at
which were present the whole of the Ministers : Count Villa
Real, Count Bomfim, Count Lavradio, Jose da Silva Carvallio,
Rodrigo da Fonseca Magalhaes, Chevalier Deitz, Comfnandador
Almeida, and Florido Rodrigues Pereira Ferraz. On Friday;.;
the Danish frigate, Thetis, and corvette, Flora, arrived in thi;
Tagus with a passage twenty days from Copenhagen;
the former having on boatil his Royal Highness Prince Frede-
rick d'Hesse, nephew to the King of Denmark.
Letters from Oporto continue to be received, fraught with
the most distressing intelligence of the state of the Upper a u
The treaty is most clamorously called for, and representations
have been made from all quarters, petitioning dispatch in the
termination of the same.

BQ th Sir R. PEEL and Lord STANLEY, On Friday
eve; sing, explicitly stated that the inquiry into the
Brielport case was not for the purpose of criminating
any person: 'Of course, it cannot, therefore, have
for Its object the dispossessing any Member. -of
his seat. From the whole course of the proceedings,
it plain that the inquiries to be entered into
by Mr. ROEBUCK can have no •such effect. It
wou Id be monstrous for the House of. Commons
to tingle out, on the representation of Mr. ROE-
suc r, or any other Member, five or six Members,
NM a tstitute an inquiry into their mode of getting
their ;seats, when it is notorious that scores of HOD.
Memi ,ers have got into Parliament by similar means.
On fiat .se reasons it seems certain that Mr. Itonnucies
inqu'kriescan have no other effect than to establish the
exist nue of bribery and compromise to.serve as a basis
of legislation. They will bring the matter clearly and
with iwidence before ti to public, and they will damage the
char acter of the nous of Commons. That and that

After ihey.have been rk ;ported to the House by Mr.

GREECE.

ATHENS, MAY 10.—Political news is quite confined to the
movements of ships of war. The Monarch and Medea are
gone to Rhodes, to embark from the opposite coast some
splendid remains of antiquity for the British Museum. The
Vernon, 50, Captain Walpole, has relieved the Monarch on
this station, and is now at Sglamis. The French Admiral
Lasusse is on board the Inflexible, 90, which vessel, as also
the Acheron war-steamer, Bougainville brig, and Licurge
steam-packet, are in the Pirwus harbour. The Cornaline, 32,
is gone to Candia ; the Santi Petri, 80, to Beyrout ; and the
Cal)yHo, 60, to Toulon. The English squadron is expected at
Corfu.

The hotels of Athens are so full of English travellers that
some were compelled to go on by the last Austrian steamer,
not having been able to find accommodation in the capital of
Greece. Among our last arrivals is Lady Davy, widow of the
celebrated philosopher.
Accounts jest received from Patras state that the proprietors
of the currant plantations there, and in other parts of the
Alorea, had become excessively alarmed on account of the ap-
pearance of immense quantities of locusts, which had already
nearly destroyed the wheat crops, and would undoubtedly be
equally fatal to the currant vines, should they take wing. The
local Government of Patras had caused nearly the entire popu-
lation to go out into the vineyards and adjacent country, in the
hope of exterminating these obnoxious insects, and thus avert-
ing the impending evil, which, it appears, has heea an in-
creasing one ever since the year 1838.

and the adjacent country. The Villa has been recently built in
the most complete manner, and wholly regardless of expense. The
balconies and verandah, and all the ornamental parts, are in singu.
lar good taste, and chiefly of carved oak. The principal windows
are decorated with paintings of elegant design ; and the furnishings
throogl'out will, on examination, be found to exhibit the order
and symmetry of an elaborate taste, yet strength and durability are
every where conspicuous; and the mixture of solidity and ele.
gance is a prominent feature in this Villa, when compared with most
others of recent erection. It is

A SINGULARLY ELEGANT LITTLE BIJOU,
one of a character to suit a moderate-sized family; though, from
its extreme order and compactness, it is, perhaps, snore distinctly,

UNE MAISON DE BACHELIER.
The lawn and flower garden are on a gentle slope, most tastefully
laid out, and planted with the choicest flowering shrubs. The
kitchen garden, in the rear, is very productive. The orchard is
well stocked with fruit trees.

Mr. Robins feels an irresistible impulse, to call the attention of
the elite in good taste to this delightful toy. It it: two miles from
Windsor, and two floor the Great Western Station.

FOREST OF VILLAS,

of the most picturesque class, with lovely grounds, and each seem-
ing to contend for the ascendancy in public opinion. These appear
all to be embosomed in the rich, the luxuriant prospect of the
woodland scenery, and the enchanting valley that separates it from
the town; but it is in vain to do it justice, it must be seen to be
appreciated. There are about
FOURTEEN ACRES OF PARKISII GROUNDS,
ALL RICH FREEHOLD LAND,

throughout which meanders
A NEVER-FAILING TROUT STREAM.

The sea road from Dawlish to Brizham, unrivalled for its beauty
throughout England, it in communication with this property; in
fine, it may be fearlessly asserted, that it is one of the prettiest and
most classical habitations that can be conceived.

There are plans to show the extent of the accommodation within
and without, and a drawing, which is lithographed, displaying the
beauty of its architectural form, to be had (at 6d. each) one month
antecedent to the sale, at the principal Libraries in the adjacent

of American plants and flowering shrubs without ond; in the

THE PURE ELIZABETHAN ORDER,

IN THE TUDOR STYLE OF DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE,
and it was only a few short years before the lamented decease of
the Worthy Divine, that it was renovated throughout, and re.
stored to something extending beyond its pristine vigour, and all
that art could do to increase the charms of a spot so rich in nature's
loveliness is lime achieved. It is seated on

AN EXTENDED VELVET LAWN,
OF EXCEEDINGLY GREAT BEAUTY,
which is in communication with the
PRETTILY WOODED PARK.

The Pleasure Grounds are adorned by a delightful array of every
thing that is rare and beautiful, in American Plants, which, beside,
estrange winter and its disagreeables from being perceptible at
Hattori Hall. Around this lovely Landscape, are plantations and
Shrubberies of very considerable extent, and within the interme-
diate space, the beauteous Lawn enamelled with flowering Shrubs,
in never-ending variety, appear in masses everywhere, contending
for the superiority.
" If distant hills be wanting, yet our eye
Forgets the want, and with delighted gaze

Gives that harmonious force of shade and light,
Which makes the landscape perfect."

and without include all that can be desired : in the courtyard will
be fotind every appendage to comfort in its literal sense. The kit.
chen garden exceeds an acre of prolific ground, walled round and
clothed with choice fruit trees. The Dutch garden is disposed in
excellent taste, and the American border (as it is denominated) is
extensive and full of luxuriant plants, with
A RHODODENDRON FENCE,
the effect of which should be seen at the proper season to be under-
stood or• appreciated. The buildings essential to agricultural pur.
suits are ranged around the farm-yard, which is warm and shel-
tered. There are six cottages, dispersedly placed, of which four
are vis-a-vis to the two entrees to Chalfcint Park. Such is a very
moderate outline of a most enviable property in a neighbourhood
