BRAMBER.-Mr. Harry Dent Goring will resign, and as

DUBLIN, MAY 19.—1 t is reported here on good authority,
that in the event of a dissolution of parliament, Mr. Hutton,
the silent member for the city of Dublin, is to be thrown
overboard by his quondam radical supporters. His studied
absence from his constituents on occasions where his presence
at least, if not his speech, was deemed necessary for the sup-
port of whiggery, has given dire offence.

DIIMFRIES.—Mr. Ewart is spoken of as a probable can-
didate.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, MAY 22.

Since this day se'nnight we have received only about 3.000
quarters of Oats from Ireland, and of all other articles of British
produce the arrivals !have been very light. From abroad the im-
ports include 6,985 quarters of Wheat, 2,620 quarters of Beans.
and 3,300 barrels of Flour. There have been released from bond
4,800 quarters of Wheat, 2,470 quarters of Beans, and 156 barrels
of Flour. The town and neighbouring millers and dealers have,
this week. been buyers, to a tolerably fair extent, of fresh parcels
of free foreign Wheat : a few purchases have also been made for
Ireland, and we quote prices of such descriptions 2d per bushel
higher than at the close of last week ; stale qualities have met little
notice and are unchanged in value. Flour has also been been
better sold, home manufacture realizing an advance of Is per sack,
and free foreign an improvement of lid per barrel : the quantity
of the latter offering is become small. Oats and Oatmeal have
both been in limited request, and are rather cheaper. Sweet
grinding Barley, being scarce and a little more inquired for, has
brought rather more money : 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 601bs for free
foreign. Beaus have sold slowly though offered at Is per quarter
decline : Egyptian, of which, there are several parcels in the
market, may be bought at 34s to 35s per quarter. Peas as last
noted. In the early part of the week a cargo of Odessa Wheat
was sold, in bond, at 4s 6d; and about 3,000 barrels of Flour bave
changed hands at 20s to 23s per barrel : the latter price paid for
prime Western Canal.

HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST NIGHT

At five o'clock, the house was exceedingly crowded with
members on both sides. Several peers occupied the end
seats ; End a general expectation prevailed that some impor-
tant announcement was about to be made to the house. Sir
Robert Peel was early in his place. Lord J. Russell, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and one or two other members
of the cabinet, entered the house a few minutes before five
o'clock.

WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN HER MAJESTY'S MINISTERS.
Shortly after five o'clock the SPEAKER called upon Sir
Robert Peel.

Sir R. PEEL rose amidst tremendous cheering, which
having subsided, the most profound silence reigned through-
out the house. The right hon. baronet said,—l rise, sir, to
give notice that, on Thursday next, I shall submit the fol-
lowing resolution to the house That her Majesty's mi-
nisters do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House
of Commons to enable them to carry through the house
measures which they deem of essential importance to the
public welfare ; and that their continuance in office under
such circumstances is at variance with the spirit of the con-
stitution." (The right hon. baronet sat down amidst the
most tremendous cheers we ever heard, and which were
several times renewed.)

THE POOR-LAWS

In answer to Mr. Walter,

Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not intend to proceed with
the Poor Law Bill during the present session. (Loud cries
of Hear, hear.)

LONDON COMMERCIAL REPORT.

SATURDAY EVENING.—The result of the present week's
transactions in the general produce markets has not been
satisfactory ; for, although the sales have been large and im-
portant, the actual purchases at them have not ecrualled the
expectations of the holders.
The Tea-market was quiet to-day.
Accounts received this afternoon from Liverpooil notice an
inanimate market for Cotton all the week, the trade only
purchasing for immediate wants. Notwithstanding this,
however, prices kept tolerably steady, which wa.s the more
remarkable, as the stock had been immensely increased
within a few days. The stock yesterday at the outport was
494,200 bales, against only 282,500 bales at this time last
year. The imports this year have been upwards of 500,000
bales, and the sales 504,000 bales. The sales this week are
17,020 bales.
In the St. Petersburg markets, during the week ending
the 7th instant, the sales of produce were as fellows :
Casan Potashes, first quality, 3,500 poods, at 19 34 roubles,
with 2 6-7 roubles advance for :May ; 2,500 poods at 19 1-7
rouble, cash ; 7,500 poods at 19 1-7 roubles, cash, half for
May and half for July; and 1,250 poods at 18 6-7 roubles,
cash for July. Straw Ashes,-1,200 poods, at 17 1-7 roubles,
with 2 6-7 roubles advance, for June, all berkowetz, and in

SALE AT AIGBURTH.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-05-25

" Another waiter, who amused us much, was an active,
lissom, little man, who endeavoured to persuade us that
everything in the house was the best that could be obtained
in " all Ireland." The inn was a wayside one in Kerry,
where we were detained two days by illness and bad weather.
" Well, is there any chance of the weather changing ?"
" I'm sorry it's not pleasing to you, ma'am, but we've the
best weather in all Ireland."
" These eggs are done too much."—" The finest eggs in
all Ireland, ma'm ; but I'll make an alteration in them."
" Is your mutton good ?"—" The best in all Ireland."
" And your cook ?"—" The best in all Ireland." The
mutton, however, was so very underdone, that we pointed it
out to our good-natured waiter. " Yes, sir—l see, ma'am ;
the mutton in these parts, as I tould yer honours, is the
best in all Ireland ; and so juicy, that its the natur of it—
that's it—it's the juciness of the mutton makes it so. I give
ye my honour it's that—ye understand—the quality of the
meat, nothing else—the goodness of it ; but maybe ye'd like
the cook to take some of that out of it—l see—she'll do so
in five minutes—the finest cook in all Ireland ;" and he bore
of the mutton as triumphantly as if we had chimed in with
his praise. It returned to us after the cutlet fashion. He
exclaimed, while laying the dish on the table, with the inva-
riable flourish, " I tould yer honours"—" the finest cook in
all Ireland—two ways, ay tin ways, with the same thing—it
goes down one thing, and comes up another. Ay, faith, the
lady would never forget it if she saw her toss a pancake ;
she'll send it up the chimney out of sight, and down it'll
come finished—all but the aiting."

The number concludes with the introductory portion of the
description of Limerick, chiefly historical, and of much in-
terest. We shall look with anxiety for the concluding
sketches of that celebrated country and city. The work, we

rejoice to say, is commanding an extensive sale

MISCELLANEOUS

WORSE AND WORSE.—It is said that the new census will
cost the country about £300,000.
At a late breaking up of a Dudley teetotal party, they are
described as retiring from the temperance festival full of
spirits !

A woman of the name of Laycock came to her death at
Keighley on Sunday week, through taking a large quantity
of arsenic, which had been given her, by her daughter, in-
stead of carbonate of soda. She only survived the draught a
few hours.

Sir Robert Peel was honoured by her Majesty with an in-
vitation to be present at the grand concert, at Buckingham
Palace, on Monday bight.

BIRTH ON A RAILWAY.—On Thursday last, as the six
o'clock down train to Hull was on its way between Castle-
ford and Selby, a poor woman, a third class passenger, was
safely delivered of a child. She was lett at Selby, where, we
understand, herself and child are doing well.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has stated to Mr. Bell,
M.P. for Northumberland, that he intends to give up the
present passenger tax on railways, and to substitute a tax
on the gross annual receipts on passengers, at the rate of five
per cent.

ALARMING DECLINE IN WOOLLEN EXPORTS.—The
quantity of cloths exported last year was 215,746 pieces ; now
the export the year previous was 392,854 pieces ; showing a
falling off of 177,101 pieces, or 45 per cent.! This is a
striking proof of the extreme depression under which the
Yorkshire trade has been and is still labouring.—.Leeds Mer-
cury.

The North Midland and other connected railways are mak-

sengers from London to Edinburgh in about two hours less
time than they can go by the western routes. They will also

past five in the morning, to take passengers from that town
to London in a single day.

THE HALIFAX AND BOSTON STEAMERS

(From the London Journal of Commerce.)
While referring to the extension of steam navigation, we
may mention one most encouraging fact. Under the old
packet system, between Falmouth and Halifax, by the gun-
brigs, the expense to government was about £40,000 annually
more than the receipts of postage. By the line of Cunard's
steam-ships, a balance of £20,000 appears already to the side
of the Atlantic mails.

(The indomitable spirit of British enterprise never had a
better or more patriotic representative than Mr. Cunard.
He is not only boldly and simply entered into a contract with
the government to build four steam-ships of 1200 tons, and
with engines of 300 horse power each, to run across the At-
lantic to British North America once a fortnight, but he has
more than fulfilled his hazardous engagement. His fine ves-
sels have brought one of our most valuable dependencies
within twelve days' distance from the mother country, and
that with unerring regularity. The punctual success of the
Cunard steam-ships is owing, in a great measure, to their
construction, being far stronger, in respect to timber, planks
and fastening, than is usual in ships of equal size. The
strength of construction renders the working of the powerful
engines perfectly safe in combating the resistance of the
most tempestuous weather. Not only are these vessels built
much stronger than the usually required strength, but the
engines placed in them exceed the power contracted for,
being not 300, but 440 horse power.
The fiscal success of these packets ought, we think, to in-
duce the Government to extend the communication, by en-
larging Mr. Cunard's contract, so that he could increase his
steam float and despatch a packet from Liverpool to Halifax
and Boston once a week during the eight spring, summer,
and autumnal months, and once a fortnight during the winter
months. By such an arrangement not only would the Post-
office gain in revenue and Mr. Cunard be amply remunera-
ted, but this frequent intercourse would form a rapid line of
communication between the whole of Europe and all North
America, including every country from the Gulf of Mexico
to Lake Superior.
We mention these facts, because, in our admiration of the
success of the vessels, we are apt to forget the merit due to
the contractor and speculator, Mr. Cunard. If he who
makes a blade of grass grow where barrenness previously
was, is a benefactor of his species, scarcely less grateful
ought we to be to him who diminishes distance between two
fairly separated but intimately connected countries, and who
subdues the tempests and dangers of the ocean for the pur-
poses of facile and speedy intercourse between mankind.
