To expect that you will be able t, detend the Naviga-
tion Laws merely as a means of keeping up the defence
of the- empire, is absurd in every point of view. This
must become especially plain to you when you consider
that you will have no empire beyond the United Kingdom
which you will have any interest in going to the expense

of defending' far why should the oppressed population 01
this country be taxed to defend colonists in whose mar.
kets British labour gets no preference over foreign ?
I continue most firmly to believe that free trade wil
reduce us from being an empire with supremacy on the
sea, to being a second-rate power in Europe defended b 3

A BOY AND Two HORSES KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—
On Friday week, a boy and two thorough-bred horses
were killed by lightning at Middleham. The horses were
in the training of Mr. Dawson, and were struck whilst
under exercise in the open air. One of them, we under-
stand, was Little Nell, which ran at the late Catterick
races, and the other was Curiosity, the property of Sir
John Gerard.

BRAZILS.—H.M.B. Penguin. Lieut. Swainson, arrived
on Saturday at Falmouth, with the following passengers,
having sailed on the 18th March :—Mr. and Mrs. Thomp-
son, Mrs. Saputis, Mr. Bunn, Mr. Owen, Mr. Ralli, Mr.
Dodson, Mr. Mansfield, Capt. Wilmot, R.N. Mr. Hitchin,
Dr. Nunes, Dr. Knight, Dr. Dunn, Mr. Lommosoff,
Belgian Minister, Count di Trotti, Dr. Jacomelli, five
children and two servants.
A few days since, a young girl, residing at Durham,
amused herself by locking her wrists in a pair of handcuffs
belonging to her cousin, who was a policeman, and was
absent. She applied for the keys at the police-station,
where she was detained for_several hours as an escaped

prisoner ; and, as they could not be found, the locks were
picked by a smith, after she had worn the handcuffs nearly
twenty-four hours. _ • _ _ _ .

Lord George Manners, third son of the Duke of Rut-
land, is to be a candidate for the county of Cambridge at
the ensuing election. His lordship, in reply to a question
put to him, says, " I believe it to be right, as well as
politic, to tolerate various forms of Religion—to recognize
and uphold but one: and had I had a seat in the House,
I should have asserted that principle by voting in opposi-
tion to Mr. Watson's Bill."
NEW APPLICATION OF VAPOUR OF ETHER.—Dr.

Cazenova, head surgeon of the lunatic asylum at Pau, has
tried the use of vapour of ether on a mad girl. This poor
creature had been unable to obtain sleep for_five months.
She was made to inhale ether, and her agitation soo:3
ceased. After five inhalations, she fell into a complete
state of insensibility, which lasted twenty-five minutes.
at the end of that time the torpor ceased, and no symp-
toms of disorder remained. _ .

CURIOUS COINCIDENCES.—In the election of Guardians
for Cheltenham, the following coincidences deserve men-
tion :—ln the year 1846, Mr. Hollis was returned with
1846 votes—and in the year 1847, by 1847 votes, occurring
in the 46th and 47th years of his age. Still further :

the majority of votes in Mr. Ho favour, over the
second person on the list, in 1846 was 158 ; and this year,
also, he had the same number, 158, over the second on
the list.
MEETING OF MERCHANTS.—A meeting of merchants
and bankers was appointed to take place at the Hall of
Commerce, London, on Friday, on the state of the

TURN-OUT OF FACTORY WOMEN.—The proprietors of
three flax mills in Leeds having signified their intention
of reducing the wages of their reelers to the extent of 25
per cent., the reelers, all of whom are females, have
turned out, and the mills have, in consequence, been
stopped during the present week. The employers who
have offered the reduction are Messrs. W. B. Holdsworth
and Co., Victoria Mills, Hunslet-lane; Messrs. Wilkin-
son and Co., Hunslet Mill; and Messrs. Boyle, Gill, and
Co., Trafalgar Mill, Meadow-lane. On Monday the wo-
men " on strike " met in a field near the North Midland
Railway Station, when several speeches were made, and a
resolution was unanimously adopted against resuming
work except at the old prices.—Leeds Intelligencer.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND MURDER.—For several days

a great deal of excitement has prevailed at Rochford,
Es-
sex, in consequence of the death of an old man named
James Terry, in Rockford union poor-house, who was at-

tacked and robbed by a footpad a few nights since, in a
by-lane between Rochford and Canewdon. About eleven
o'clock on Wednesday, the 31st ult., the unfortunate de-
ceased, who was nearly in his 70th year, was proceeding
down the lane abov&-mentioned, when he was accosted by
a man, a perfect stranger, who asked deceased if he could
tell him the time. He pulled out his watch, and, giving the
hour, proceeded onwards ; but in a few minutes he sud-
denly felt himself struck as if by some sharp instrument,
such as a hoe or a bill, and became insensible. When
found, which was about two hours after the attack, he

was still insensible from the effects of the blow, 'and
bleeding from several wounds about the head. The poor
ed for a few days, and the police suspecting a

MORE POISONING IN ESSEX.-011 Tuesday last, a
woman, named Emma E. Hume, was finally examined
at the Witham petty sessions, on a charge of administering
poison to her husband with intent to cause his death.
The prisoner is only twenty-four years of age, and her
husband, a labourer, is seventy. They lived in the village
of Tollesbury. For some time the husband had suffered
from a liver complaint, and prisoner was latterly inatten-
five to him. She was heard to say to him more than once,
" Mind you are not found dead before long." On the
sth instant she gave him some broth, which he found
strange in taste and refused to take it. A female in the
house saw her empty the broth, and observed a white se-
diment at the bottom of the basin. She afterwards en-
deavoured to persuade him to take two pills she had
made, but he refused. She gave them to her son, who
handed them to the police. She said they were recom-
mended by a man named Warner, but this he denied.
The pills were analysed, and found to contain. twenty-six
grains of sugar of lead—a poison. Mr. Dawson, drug-
gist, heard her say, when getting some medicine for her
husband, that she hoped it would be the last he would
take, for that if he were dead she would be happy. She
was committed for trial at the assizes, and was conveyed
in custody to Chehnsford.
SIR ROBERT REEL'S PICTURES.—On Saturday, Sir
Robert Peel opeifie his mansion in Whitehall-gardens for
the reception of visiters invited to inspect his beautiful
collection of works of art. The principal staircase, the
picture gallery, and, we believe, one or two other rooms,
have recently been re-decorated, whilst the pictures them-
selves have undergone a fresh arrangement, and the com-
pletion of these details was the immediate cause of the re-
union of Saturday. The invitations in this instance were
not regulated by the exclusive spirit which almost uni-
formly prevails on similar occasions. That there should
be present many of the most distinguished members of the
peerage and of the House cf Commons, might naturally
be expected, from the eminent social and political position
which the right hon. baronet occupies ; but it was gratifying
