HOUSE OF LORDS-THURSDAY.

THE RECENT ATTEMVT• TO ASSASSLNAIE THE QUEEN.
Viscount MgenounNE rose amidst the most profound
silence, to move an Address of Congratulation to her Ma
jesty, expressive of their lordships' satisfaction at her Ma-
jesty's miraculous escape from the attack of the assassin in
the Park yesterday. noble viscount said that their lord-
ships had doubtless beard with feelings of horror and indii-
nation of the desperate attempt made upon her Majes;ty s
sacred life; yesterila.y.twO pistols were fired at her, and it is
only matter of *math:: that her Majesty was not destroyed.
(Hear.) Upon all former occasions of the same melancholy
nature it has always been the custom to address the Throne
in terms of congratulation. ( Hear.) Their lordships, there-
fore, will not be surprised that the earliest opportunity, and
that without notice, had been taken to call the attention of
the house to the subject. (Hear, hear.) He would not then
expatiate on the probable cause of the daring outrage upon
the Royal person ; it was at present the subject of inquiry,
and would hereafter become the subject of judicial inquiry,
therefore he would be silent on the point. (Cheers.) He
should content himself by moving an address of congratula-
tion to her Majesty.
The address, couched in the usual terms, was then put
from the 'Woolsack and carried.
On the motion of Viscount MELBOURNE, the Duke of
Sussex, the Dnke of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington,
Lord Privy Seal, the Lord President of the Council, the
Bishop of London, Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Nor-
manby, and 'other peer:4, were named as a committee to frame
the address to her Majesty.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—THURSDAY.
THE LATE ATTEMPT UPON HER MAJESTY'S LIFE.
Lord STANLEY said, that having given notice of his in-
tention to move to-day the order of the day for the committee
on the Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill, and as the hour
for public business had arrived, he should have risen now to
make the motion, but as he understood the noble lord, the
Secretary for the Colonies, would have to make an announce-
ment, on which it was desirable there should be unanimity on
both sides of the house (hear, hear), as it seemed to him de-
sirable not to mix up that matter with any other discussion,
he (Lord Stanley) should abstain from moving the order of
the day, presuming that all sides would agree that the motion
of the noble lord ought to have precedence. (Loud cheers.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said he rose only to say that the noble
lord had rightly anticipated that it was his (Lord J. Russell's)

intention to move an Address to her Majesty, on the subject
of tba late atrocious and treasonable attack ; but thinking
it most desirable to follow the precedents on various former
occassions, namely, a joint Address of both houses of 'parlia-
ment, he preferred taking that course than immediately to
propose a-separate address from this house. It was the in-
tention of his hon. friend, the first Lord of the Treasury, to
ask the consent of the other house to agree to an address,
and if that was adopted, he (Lord J. Russell) should then
take measures for adopting that address, and making it the
joint address of both houses of parliament. (Loud cheers.)
The business of proceeding with the orders of the day was
then suspended ; a course of proceeding in strict accordance
with the precedents afforded by the events which happened
in the reign bf his late Majesty, George the Third.
At half-past five o'clock, a message from the House of
Lords desired a present conferenee with this house, on a
subject naturally affecting the safety of her Majesty and the
happiness of her people.
On the motion of Lord Joule RUSSELL, the present con-
ference, as desired, was agteed to : and the following mem-
bers were appointed a committee to conduct the same on the
part of the house :—Lord J. Russell, Sir R. Peel. Lord
Palmerston, Lord Stanley, Sir J. Hobhouse, Lord Howick,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Goulbourne, Mr. La-
bouchere, Sir J. Graham, Sir H. Vivian, Sir E. Sugden,
Mr. Macaulay, Sir G. Grey, Sir F. Burdett, the Attorney-
General, Lord Saudon, the Lord Advocate, Mr. B. Clive,
Lord Mahon, Mr. R. Alston, Mr. Lucas, Mr. T. Free-
mantle, Sir D. Norreys, Mr. F. Maule, Lord G. Somerset,
Lord Ashley, Lord R. Grosvenor, Lord G. Lennox, Sir G.
Clerk, Mr. Elliott, Mr. Lefroy, and Mr. W. S. O'Brien.
The committee then proceeded to the conference, and on
their return at six o'clock,
Lord J. RVSELLL appeared at the bar, and reported that
in consequence of the recent atrocious and treasonable at-
tempt on her Majesty's person, the House of Lords had
agreed to an address to her Majesty, to which address the
House of Lords desired the concurrence of this house.
Lord J. Russ= then moved that the said address be
taken into consideration.

The Address having been read by the clerk at the table,
Lord J. RUSSELL then rose and moved the adoption 01
the Address.

Sir R. PEEL rose to express, on the part of those with
whom he acted, their entire concurrence in the motion of the
noble lord.

In answer to a question put by Mr. James,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he had two hours ago received from
her Majesty's own lips, that her Majesty's health had not
suffered from the late occurrence. (Loud Cheers.)

Mr. PLumPTRE suggested that there should be a day ap.
pointed for a public thanksgiving for her Majesty's escape.
Lord J. RUSSELL could not answer that suggestion at pre,
sent, but it was deserving of deep consideration.
The Address was then agreed to, nem. con.
[Left sitting.]

Edward Oxford is the son of a-jeweller ; his fa her has
been dead about eight years, and his mother subsequently
kept a coffee-shop in the Waterloo-road, opposite the York
Hotel, which she left about three years since. Oxford has
received a very decent education, and has, up to the time of
this occurrence, borne the character of a respectable, sober,
honest, decent lad. He has never at any time exhibited the
least traces of insanity, but on Monday evening those who
had known him before thought he appeared more thoughtful
and reserved than usual. When his mother left the coffee-
shop in the Waterloo-road, he went to reside with his aunt,
who keeps a tavern at Hounslow, in the capacity of pot-boy.
He has subsequently lived as barman at two different public-
houses in London, and his employers all give him an excel-
lent character. His mother is at present at Birmingham, of
which place the prisoner is a native. She left London about
three weeks since. The prisoner has latterly been out of
place, and has been by no means well provided with money.
It is therefore exceedingly improbable that he purchased the
pistols from his own resources. It seems to be the opinion
of all those who are acquainted with Oxford that he is a mere
tool in the hands of some designing villain. He is a member
of the Church of England, but has never exhibited any symp-
toms of religious enthusiasm.

BRITISH GUIANA.

EXTRACT FROM A LETTER DATED DEMERARA, MARCH

STH, 1840,

" I am sorry to say our prospects in this once flourishing
colony still continue very gloomy ; insomuch that many peo-
ple are trying to realize what little property they have in
order to quit it for good and all. This, however, is only
what was to be expected ; as, for the last fifteen years, we
have been so harassed and oppressed by the legislative enact-
ments of the mother country, that the spirits of the colonists
have quite broken down, hundreds of respectable families and
individuals have been consigned to ruin and beggary, and the
hopes of almost all completely and for ever blasted.
" It has been said that British Guiana remains a real terra
incognita ; and with shame we must confess that we know
little indeed of the internal, resources of this splendid colony,
which, unless some decisive measures be instantly adopted,
is, we have great reason to fear, doomed in no long time, to
become a second Africa, and its present inhabitants will be
ultimately exterminated altogether, or I have to fall back like
the North American Indians, to give place to their new
masters, the blacks, who amount to 80,000 ; and who, it is
not improbable, will be joined by those of Surinam ; in which
case, what would one, two, or three thousand militia, and it
may be six or seven hundred regular troops avail us?
" We know that in this warm relaxing climate, indolence,
like drunkenness, and all such pernicious habits, grows upon
those who unfortunately give way to it ; and although so
many slaves have been freed within this colony in the course
of the last ten or twelve years, there have been, compara-
tisely, only very few instances of free negroes, male or fe-
male, working in the field for hire. They consider it a dis-
grace to be so employed. Every river and creek now swarms
with idle and worthless free people, many of them very bad
characters. In this district alone (Christianburg) there are
upwards of two hundred, not one in ten of whom has any
settled place of abode, or visible means of subsistence, inde-
pendent of hunting and fishing ; so that with this example
before our eyes, and with such an immense tract of unoccu-
pied country around us, to which the negroes may retire and
indulge in sloth and idleness, what can we expect but that
before many years shall elapse they will sink into savage life,
instead of rising to the condition of' a respectable, happy, and
industrious peasantry.
samy Lc a a cructly, cvcr, fur suclx a E•tatq
Of things, I do not mean to deny ; and that remedy, if any-
where, is to be found in immigration. But even as to this
the planters' hopes are gone • nor, as you may well suppose,
have the terms on which her majesty's government have
offered them a bill to promote it, tended in the slightest
degree, to give them encouragement.
" At present, as I have already observed, we are acquainted
with only a very small' portion of the interior of Guiana.
Inexhaustible in its natural treasures, it has been hitherto
most strangely neglected ; although a few thousand pounds,
judiciously expended in exploring it, would, there is every
reason to believe, be productive of incalculable benefit, not
only to science, but to the British nation. But, if such con-
siderations be insufficient, there is yet another and a higher
one. Are not the souls of the native Indians equally pre-
cious in the sight of God with those of the African race ?
And why, I would further ask, has so much money been la•
wished, and so many valuable lives sacrificed in a fruitless
attempt to Christianise the blacks on the coast of Africa,
and in endeavouring to establish a trade with the savages of
the interior of that pestilential country, whilst the poor be-
nighted, but mild and inoffensive Indians, inhabiting one of
the fairest portions of the globe, have been neglected and
left to perish, uncheered by one ray of hope or glimpse of
future happiness? For, until last year, not one missionary
has been sent amongst them, nor a single attempt made to
instruct them in the right knowledge of God, or to extricate
them from their lamentable state of ignorance. I have been
protector of the Indians for Demerara river more than 21
years, and have frequently brought the subject forward ; but,
I regret to say, it was of no manner of use; and I now
almost despair of ever being able to benefit them, or to draw
attention to the resources of a country which could alone
furnish more than a sufficient quantity of the finest and most
durable timber in the• world, for the use of all the ship-build-
ing establishments in Great Britain and Ireland."

AVERAGE PRICE OF WHEAT FOR FORTY YEARS

Notwithstanding the increase of population, when we take
an average price of wheat for forty years, a list of which now
lies before me, said to be a copy from the London Morning
Chronicle, and which I take for granted is official, we shall
find that the last ten years have been much the lowest :-

Taking the ten years from 1805 to 1814, inclusive, the
average price annually was 90s. Bd. ; and from 1815 to 1824,
inclusive, after establishment of corn-laws, 675. Bd.,—lower
235. per ►quarter annually. And taking in the twenty years
from 1795 to 1814, inclusive, before the corn-laws, the an-
nual average was 81s. 10d. ; and from 1815 to 1834, after the
establishment of corn-laws, G3s. 6d., or 18s. 4d. lower annu-
ally.

we have only to multiply by 20, which willl
statements.)
Now, here is a result taken from known andcorrefealtidaeaytao,
of the
as to amount, (the, very reverse of declamatory
affording irrefragile evidence of the egregious
assertions, that corn-laws have been a tax on the community,
and have made corn dear. On the one side is a statement
£600,000 gained, on the other side is a statement of £600,000
lost, to the community !—a pretty prominent difference ," and
if we proceed on the subject, we shall find a continuation,
also, similarly prominent. The asserters of loss can never
have investigated the subject on its own merits : they must
have been quite satisfied with imagination. And even Mr.
Villiers, in his prepared speeches, only gives the opinion of
men whom he calls authorities against the corn-laws, and
that no man of any consequence has given an opinion in their
favour. Does he consider the Queen's prime minister as one
of those men of no consequence, who, as his reason, (the
only thing useful in opinion), in a few words Rye the ques-
tion the most suitable and correct definition,—in substance,
I believe, " that the man who would place the country in a
state of dependence on foreir countries for the necessaries
of life, must be a madman ?' '
It is true he has a number of colleagues, who, in that re-
spect, are either madmen, or feign to be so, to keep up their
popularity with their supporters. The minister and they,
however, know that there are enough of sane men in the
..
house to Prevent them from doing injury.
Again, Mr. Villiers says, there are eight hundred thousand
men in the manufacturing districts, who point to the corn-
laws as the cause of their sufferings, and to the repeal as their
cure.

If they imagine that the corn-laws are the cause, and the
only cause of bad business, and flat the repeal of them is
only necessary to give them a great business, they will find
their imagination has taken a very Superficial and a very in-
correct view of the subject.
The nations of Europe, availing themselves of the advan-
tage of knowledge which the results of the crusades of Bona-
parte afforded them, are proceeding in peace and security in
fostering and protecting their own industry and their own
independence. We have no power—we have no right, if we
had—to prevent them. We have not prevented them from
obtaining our machinery and our skilful workmen, and they
will not give up one inch of their markets to us.
We have already furnished them with some six millions of
gold. Where is the great trade ?—still in the imagination.
And as to our competition being regulated by the price of
corn, it is mere babbling. Why, if our skilful workmen had
bread for nothing, it would not save above Is. 6d. per week.
And what bread does machinery eat?

WARWICKSHIRE UN-WORTHIES.

DIRECTORS' POWER TO SUE FOR CALLS.—An im-
portant decision was on Monday given by Lord Abinger in
the Court of Exchequer, in the case of the Edinburgh, Leith,
and Newhaven company against Hibblewhite, with respect to
the power of directors to sue for arrears of calls. His lord-
ship held that after a declaration of forfeiture of shares had
been made by the directors, they had no power to sue for
calls on them until that declaration bad been 'negatived at a
general meeting. But of course the defaulter could be only
freed from his liability by the confirmation of the forfeiture
at the meeting. If the meeting should not Sanction the de-
claration of the directors, he was liable, and might be sued
directly after.—Railway Times.

The Manchester and Birmingham railway was opened to
Stockport, nearly six miles, on Thursday week.—Manchester

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JUNE 9.
(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.)
. .

Since Tuesday last the arrivals of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal,
from Ireland, coastways, and from foreign ports, have been to a
moderate extent, and the continuance of very favourable weather,
with a depression in the London, and in most of our influential
country Corn markets during the past week, have caused a very
moderate and limited demand here for Wheat at a turther decline
of 2d to 3d per 711 b. for Oats, at a decline of Id per 451 b. and for
almost every other article in the Corn trade at a small depression,
though in their general quotations of Tuesday we could make no
alteration.

The only change in the duties on Grain from foreign ports, since
Friday last, is an increase of Is 6d per qr. on Barley : it is expecteu
that there will be an increase of 2s per qr. on Wheat, and If id per
barrel on Flour, and a decrease on Oats and Peas of Is 6d per qr.
next Friday. Several parcels of Flour, in bond, have found sales
during the pa3t week at 21s rid to 25s 6d per barrel, and of Oats, in
bond, at 3s 8d to 33 9d per 451 b.
At this day's market there was a very fair demand for Wheat.
Oats, and Flour, at about the decline above-quoted, and for other
articles at about the rates of this day week.
