Hear, hear.) In the year 1836, when Lord Gre
t the head of the government, Mr. Hume brought for
ward a motion for abolishing the corn laws, and for substi
tuting a fixed duty of 10s. in its stead, with a declining ace
of one shilling per annum till it ended in nothing. 'ft
whole of Lord Grey's cabinet were directly opposed to tl
1- introduction of t

..ae question ; they declared themselves in
favour of the law as it stood at the present moment. (Hear,
hear.) As that was the case with the whole of the cabinet
of Lord Grey, it might be said, was it not extraordinary
that the question should have been made an open one ?
(Hear, hear.) It really was so, but it was made an
open question to accommodate one individual, an one
alone. That individual was certainly a great man, of
whom he would speak with great respect, inasmuch as
he was now no more. He alluded to Mr. Poulett
Thomson, (the late Lord Sydenhatn) who was then
Vice-president of the board of trade and member for Man-
chestor, because he happened to represent that place ; but
then came a question, whether a minister of the crown, who
happened to be a representative of a large constituency, was
to obey the will expressed by a large Majority nf the nation,
or the will expressed by that particular class of the commu-
nity who happened at the time to represent, (hear, hear.)
how, as he had always thought that it was the duty of every
minister of the crown to promote to the utmost of his power,
the interest of the nation at large, and not that of any one
particular class, so he would say that the government of the
day should have given but one option to Mr. Poulett Thum-
son, either to resign his office as the minister of the crown,
or as the representative of the town of Manchester, (hear
and cheers.) That, gentlemen, [continued the noble Lord]
was the only thing that could have been done, but all those
difficulties were fully foreseen by the wisdom of their
ancestors, who established that wholesome and salutary
measure, and constitutional doctrine of compelling every
member of Parliament on accepting office under the crown,
to vacate his seat, and thereby give to his constituents an
opportunity of re-electing him or not as they think fit. But
was it possible to suppose that such a question as the Ballot,
that such a question as universal sufferage, or Triennial
Parliaments, the corn laws, or any such questions as these
were to be left to mere chance, and not to be taken up by
government in some way or the other, as it was imposible
that those questions could be finally settled unless they were
taken up by government, so be, (Lord Darlington) would
say, that it was their duty to take some distinct line of action
or other, and so strongly did he feel on that point that he
would never give his support to any government who should
make open questions of such measures as these (cheers.)
But he confessed he had a higher opinion of the present
Premier than to suppose that he would deviate from that
line of conduct which he felt to be right for the purpose
of hooking a few wavering votes for the purpose of
his own conscience, or at the expense of his own good
and independence (enthusiastic cheering.) He
confessed that lie (Lord Darlington) put greater confidence
in the known integrity of Sir Robert Peel, in his sincerity,
and in that fertile genius with which by nature he was en-
dowed. (Loud and long-continued cheering.) He must
also, at the same time, put great confidence in the composi-
tion of his ministry, for never, he believed, in the history of
the country, did they possess an administration endowed
with more eminant or statesmanlike views than the present
government. (Applause.) Never, he believed, did it fall to
the lots of a statesman to form a stronger cabinet, without
succumbing to political opponents, and at the same time
without making any sacrifice or concession of principle ; and
if any proof were wanting that the country approved of the
choice, it would be found in the circumstance that of the
twenty-seven members who vacated their seats on the ac-
ceptance of office, not only the whole of them had been
re-elected, but not one of them had been opposed. (Great
cheering.) With these observations, and knowing as he did,
how many others there were who equally with himself,
thought it their duty to address them upon the occasion, he
would not trespass further then on their patience ; but he
was anxious to take that opportunity of stating, that it has
long been his intention, (a purpose which was known to
many of his friends,) of not seeking again at their hands
that trust which, for a period of nine years, had been so
kindly entrusted to him. In making this brief announce-
ment, he assured them that it was done with feelings of the
deepest regret. (Hear, hear.) How was it possible for
him to feel otherwise in alluding to a political separation
which had existed so long, and he trusted that they would
believe him that this expression of feeling was not affected
on his part, but that he entertained a lively sense of
the kindness manifested towards him, by every individual
elector of the county from the highest to the lowest, although
however their political connexion might he severed, he hoped
that as long as life lasted he would never be separated from
them in the interchange of their social relations of private
friendship. The noble lord concluded an eloquent and most
effective address amidst enthusiastic and general applause.
George Towline, Esq., M.P. also effectively replied to the
toast.

Several other admirable speeches were delivered on the

occasion

FUN sr.—By a typographical error in one of our exchanges,
we learn, " that two cows were completely cut into calves by
the railroad train."—Globe.

There is a decrease of no less than 41,924 quarters in the
consumption of malt, between the 10th October, 1840, and
the 10th October, 1841, in London alone.
MEN AND WOMEN.—A woman's head is always influ-
enced by her heart ; but a man's heart is generally influ-
enced by his head.

THE WEATHER.—Nothing can exceed the beauty of the
weather, and as there is every prospect of its continuance,
we may look forward to the best effects being produced upon
the potato and other crops.—Dublin Mail.
EXCHEQUER BILLS.—The number of the exchequer bills
which, up to yesterday, had been received, examined, and
stamped as authentic, and re-issued to parties, was 25,709,
and their value £15,865,300.
Dr. Longfield has resigned, for the present, his views on

Sir Clifford Constable and Sir John Gerard, both Roman

During the exhibition of Wombwell's collection of wild
beasts at Northallerton, a few days ago, one of the young
leopards, in a sportive mood, put its toot out of the cage,
which was immediately seized upon by a panther in the ad-
joining cage, and literally torn from its body. The poor
animal was instantly killed.

Last week two fires broke out in the vicinity of St. Ives—
one at Hemingford, the other at Fen Stanton—in both cases
the acts of incendiaries. A youth not more than 16 years of
age is committed to take his trial at the next Huntingdon
assizes for the former : and for the latter two persons of Fen
Stanton are committed for further examination.—Stamford

Perhaps the best indication of the high merits of the Dub-
lin University Magazine, is the fact, which has recently come
within our knowledge, that an eminent bookseller in New
York has announced his intention to republish it monthly,
within two days after it reaches him.—Salopian Journal.
TRING PARK.—The beautiful and much admired mansion
at Tring Park, built by Charles II for his favourite, Nell
Gwynne, is undergoing the most substantial and complete
repair, with a view to its being let for a term—the present
possessor being a minor. King Charles's bed and some
other pieces of furniture are still remaining.

DREADFUL MURDER.—Robert Charles Walsh, Esquire,
a magistrate of the county of Waterford, who had issued a
habere to dispossess some tenants, was beaten to death on
Saturday last, on his return from Dungarvon petty sessions.
The notice of his servants having having been attracted to his
horse and car returning home alone, they proceeded in
search of him, when they found his body about a mile from
his house, his head beaten into a mummy.—Dublin Evening
Mail, Nov. 8.

A correspondent of one of the morning papers observes,
with much truth, that had a floatiny fortress (ship of war)
been destroyed by fire, a court-martial or a court of naval
inquiry would have instantly followed it, and the character
and commissioners of the ship would have been at stake on
the issue. In the case of the Tower of London there is
nothing but thanks and compliments, and no inquiry at all.
ANOTHER MURDER.—The war " goes bravely on."
Wexford vies with Waterford—the "liberal " lesson receives
another illustration, and the blood of another landlord lies
red upon the earth. The Associators should be satisfied.
Two victims slain upon the same altar ought, for a time at
least, to sate them. In Wexford the sufferer is Mr. Bolton
—we presume of " the Island," though his residence is not
named in the paragraph which announces his assassination.
—Cork Constitution.

The Birmingham manufacturers are now receiving some
large orders from the United States. These orders had been
suspended while the 114`Leml affdir was pending, but were
issued after the trial had concluded. The calamitous tire at
the Tower will also give employment to a considerable num-
ber of hands in the gun trade. Upon the whole, the prospects
of the Birmingham artisans for the winter are more cheeritig
than could have been anticipated a short time since.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT ON THE kiTYRE RAILWAY.—On
Saturday evening last, as the last train was proceeding from
Preston to Fleetwood, an innkeeper of the name of Hornby,
formerly of the Ship Inn, Preston, but latterly of Fleetwood,
fell from one of the carriages on the line, and was so dread-
fully injured by some of the wheels passing over him as to
cause his death on the following day. We have been unable
to learn the full particulars of the accident, but we have
heard that both the legs of the unfortunate man were cut off
by the train. He was a remarkably stout, powerful man,
and in the prime of life.
SWEARING IN OF THE NEW LORD MAYOR.—On Mon-
day Alderman Pirie, the new Lord Mayor, was sword in
with the usual ceremony at Guildhall. There were numbers
of persons present. His lordship was warmly congratulated
by his brother aldermen, the members of the company to
which he belongs, and the principal city officers. The late
Lord Mayor was very heartily applauded upon retiring from
office, the fatigues of which he had borne, and the character
of which he had supported, in a manner that gave great
satisfaction, and showed that, at the advanced age of 77, a
man of energy and resolution can do a great deal. A splen-
did dinner at the Mansion-house followed.

STATE OF PAISLEY.—The number of persons on the sup-
ply list of the relief committee is unhappily still on the in-
crease. The number is now 1,170, with 3,000 dependents.
The number supplied with soup yesterday, a separate class,
amounts to 694 ; some of whom got two, or three, or four
quarts of soup, according to the extent of their families ; a
half-penny scone is given with each quart of soup. The
iotal number of quarts issued, would be about 1,300. It is
a most cheering feature in society to see those who are able
showing themselves equally willing to extend their aid in re-
lieving the existing distress. We trust one and all of the
kind donors will experience the truth of the axiom, that it is
more blessed to give than to receive. Total number re-
quiring aid, s,9o2.—Paisley Advertiser.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.—At Bevercotes, near
Retford, resides a cottager of the name of the name of Mark
Whittington, who has had a large family, and amongst the
rest an idiot girl. On Sunday morning Mrs. Whittington
left the house to serve the pig, when, melancholy to relate, by
some means, the child's clothes caught fire, and on the mo-
ther's return she found her enveloped in flames. Her first
thought was to go into the parlour for a blanket to wrap the
child in, in order to subdue the flames, but on her way thi-
ther, the child,. who was about fifteen years old, suddenly
seized and clung to her, and held her so firm that she could
not disentangle herself. The child held her hold until she
fell a blackened a lifeless corpse. Previous to this the mo-
ther's clothes. had caught fire, and she was considerably
burnt before she got the mastery of the flames. Death, how-
ever, had done his worst. Terror seized upon the unfortu
nate parent, which, coupled with the injuries she had re-
ceived, had such an effect upon her nervous sensibilities that
at ten o'clock the same evening she breathed her last. An
inquest was held on the bodies of the unfortunate sufferers

(From Last Night's London Standard.)

EXECUTION OF ROBERT BLAKESLEY

This unhappy man underwent the sentence of the law at
the usual hour this morning' at Newgate. An immense
crowd was assembled, and many persons waited near the
scaffold tha whole of the night, in order that they might
be enabled to get a view of the awful ceremony. Some
particulars have already been given of the culprit's con-
duct since his condemnation, and of his violence towards
some of the persons who were employed in watching him ; but
although that violence was extreme and his appearance be-
tokened great excitement, still the opinion of the authorities
of the gaol, supposed also by that of the medical officers, was,
that lie was only acting an assumed madness, in the hope
that it might assist the defence made for him at his
trial. This violence continued up to Sunday, and it was
deemed advisable, in consequence, that he should not be
present with the other prisoners in the chapel. During
the early part of Sunday, he appeared in a very sullen
temper, and would not answer any questions that were
put to him ; and, after the service was concluded, the
Rev. Mr. Carver, who, since the unhappy man's confine-
ment in Newgate has paid him the most unremitting atten-
tion, proceeded to his cell, where he found the culprit i❑ the
same mood. The rev. gentleman addressed him, and re-
minding him of the near approach of his last moment, be-
sought him to refrain from persevering in his present con-
duct, assuring him it could have no good effect, for that
competent persons were satisfied it was assumed. The blood
rushed into the culprit's face, and it was evident that he was
perfectly conscious of what the rev, gentleman said to him,
and almost immediately afterwards he entirely changed his
tone and demeanour, and admitted that he had been assum-
ing the violent conduct, and that his only object for so doing
was the hope of preventing his being made a public gaze of
in the chapel on Sunday. From this time the conduct of
the unhappy man was entirely becoming his situation ; he
expressed himself resigned to his fate, and conversed with
calmness with the rev. chaplain. During the night two
turnkeys sat up with him in his cell. He did not retire to
bed the whole night, but spent the time in reading occasion•
ally, and also in writing two letters,. one to the Rev. Mr.
Carver, and another to his wife.

Sharily after seven o'clock this morning the Sheriffs,
Messrs. Magney and Rogers, arrived at the gaol, and were
immediately accompanied by Mr. Cope, the governor, to the
prisoner's cell in the Chapel Yard, where they found him
in earnest conversation with the chaplain. Upon the Sheriffs
entering the cell, Blakesley turned round and shook hands
with them, and wished them a good morning, and soon after-
wards the executioner and his assistants entered the cell for
the purpose of pinioning the culprit. Before this operation
was performed the Rev. Mr. Carver, addressing the unhappy
man, asked him whether there was anything more that he
wished to say ? Blakesley replied, " I wish to say this—l
assure you that I had no intention to kill James Burdon. I
intended to have killed my wife, and I expected to be appre-
hended immediately and brought here (Newgate) to suffer
for the deed ; but as I was making the blow (motioning at the
same time how he intended he should be understood,) Burdon
rose up with his handkerchief upon his head, and he re-
ceived the blow intended for my wife, but I solemnly declare
I did not intend to kill HIM." The Rev. Mr. Carver said
that the great Searcher of all Hearts could alone be aware
whether this was true, and Blakesley repeated his solemn as-
surance that it was nothing but the truth which he bad stat-
ed. Blakesley then thanked the sheriffs for the kindness he
had received from them, and expressed his readiness to an-
swer any questio❑ they might put to him. Some question
was then put to him in reference to his violence in the gaol,
when he said that he had assumed it in the hope that his life
might be saved, from the impression that it would create that
he was not of sane mind. The Rev. Mr. Carver then asked
the culprit whether he thought God would pardon his sins,
and he replied that he hoped he had made his peace with
God, and that his soul would be saved, and he placed his
cnief reliance on that hope.

At eight o'clock the culprit, accompanied by the sheriffs,
the governor, and Mr. Cope, proceeded from the cell. The
culprit walked with a firm step, and appeared perfectly com-
posed ; indeed, it was remarked, that he seemed to be the
most unconcerned of all who were present. He walked up
the ladder with equal firmness, and his appearance upon the
scaffold wrs the signal for a tremendous yell, which issued
from the mob, and which lasted during the whole of the time
the unhappy man was upon the scaffold, and until the bolt
was withdrawn ; indeed, it might also be said that he drew
his last gasp with the execrations of the multitude ringing in
his ears. The culprit, as has been before stated, was a re-
markably strong muscular man, and he appeared to struggle
severely for two or three minutes before he ceased to exist.
It should, perhaps, be stated that since the prisoner's con-
finement in Newgate he has been visited by his father on
two or three occasions, and who saw him on Wednesday for
the last time.

At nine o'clock the body was cut 'down and 'taken to the
interior of the gaol, and it will be buried to-night by the side
of Curvoisier.

HER MAJESTY.
The following:is alcopy of the bulletin issued this morning :
" Buckingham Palace, Nov. 15, 1841,
Half-past 9 o'clock, a.m.
" Her Majesty's recovery goes on without interruption.
" The Infant Princelcontinues well.
" JAMES CLARK, M.D.
" CHARLES LOCOCK, M.D.
" ROBERT FERGUSON, M.D.
" RICHARD BLAGDEN."

The inquiries at Buckingham Palace this morning were ex-
ceedingly numerous. Her Majesty and the Duke of Corn-
wall. we rejoice to state, are going on so very favourably that
it is not expected bulletins will be published beyond a few
daysllonger.

ANOTHER tATTEMPT TO .GET INTO BUCKING-

HAM PALACE

We understand thaea respectable looking individual, with
a box under his arm, attempted to-day to force an entrance
into Buckingham Palace. When asked his object, he said he
wanted to obtain the head of the Queen, as he thought he
was as much entitled to her head as she was to his.

It was evident that the man was insane, and he was, there-
fore, immediately given into the custody of the police, and
we understand conveyed to Bow-street, when it is under-
stood, from the nature and incoherent manner in which he
conducted himself, that no doubt was entertained of the man's
insanity. In fact, so evident was it that the individual was
not in possession of his right faculties, that Mr. Hall,
the chief magistrate, without hesitation, considered it to be
his duty to sign a warrant for his immediate committal to
Bethlehem ; which warrant having been countersigned by Sir
James Graham, the Home Secretary, the unfortunate man
was conveyed, in custody of the police, to that safe abode
for the detention of lunatics.

We did not hear the above until past six o'clock this even-
ing ; and consequently, at so late an hour, we are unable to
collect any details, or to vouch for the general accuracy of
the vatement, as the greatest possible secrecy is observed at
the Home Office. We may state, however, with certainty,
that some unfortunate individual has been committed to
Bethlehem for attempting to force his way into the Palace.
It is said that the individual above alluded to was in the
service of Lord Hood.
