STATE or TRADE AT KENDAL.—Never since the oldest
man can remember were the working classes of this town
suffering such privations. The fancy and, linsey trades still
continue to be in a very depressed state, and hundreds of
operatives may he seen parading the streets and fields with
dejected looks.—Kendal Mercury.
LEl:l:s.—The continued fine weather has given an im-
proved tone to the market, and has in some measure tended
to improve the demand for domestic consumptiob ; but the
amount of business transacted since our last is not much
greater than during the previous week. Still it is satisfac-
tory to report even a trilling progression.

DIRECTORS' REPORT.

A reference to the report of the engineers, will show that
the works, with a trifling exception, are proceeding in a
moat satisfactory manner, and the directors intend that the
line shall be opened to the public on Monday, the 3d of
August next.
The bill for consolidating this company with the Grand
Junction company, has passed the House of Commons, and
will in a few days be in a committee in the Lords. From
the absence of all opposition, on the part of the shareholders,
to the bill, and the greatly improved value of the stock of
the company, the directors feel convinced that the proprietors
without exception, acquiesce in the arrangement entered into
with the Grand Junction company.
On reference to the accounts of the treasurer laid before
the proprietors at a former meeting, it will be seen that one
item of expenditure was incurred in a survey by Mr. Stephen-
son, of the country for a line of railway from Chester to
Holyhead, and on a survey and report by him of the line
recommended by Mr. Vignoles, from Shrewsbury to
Portdynllaen.
His surveys and reports were laid before the commissioners
appointed by government, to examine the merits of the
different lines of railway, between London and Dublin, and
the directors are happy to say that the result of the corn-
mis-ioners' examination and their report entirely confirm
Mr. Stephenson's opinion of the super i3rily of the line from
Chester to Holyhead. The Holyhead harbour has also been
preferred and recommended by the naval commissioners.
Under these favourable eircurnstonces the directors, in
conjunction with the provisional committee of the Great
Holyhead Railway Company, will use their utmost exertions
to forward this great work, and bring it before the public at
the earliest period that may be advisable.
The importanc: of this line to the interests of the Chester
and Crewe, the Grand J unction, the London and Birmingham,
the Manchester and Birmingham, and Chester and. Birken-
head and other railway companies, is such as to convince the
promoters of it, that it will meet the warmest support of the
proprietors in those companies.
The following directors have been ballotted out under the
provisions of the act, but are eligible to be re-elected :
Mr. Cross and Mr. Follett.

The directors have caused notices to be given for the
forfeiture of the following shares :—Nos. 421 to 4GO,
461 to 465, 1201 to 1220, 2159 to 2160, 3721 to 3725,
4538 to 4550, and 4926 to 4915, and recommend this
meeting to confirm such forfeitures.

CORN LAWS.

Earl FITZWILLIAM said he had a petition to present from
the inhabitants of Sheffield, signed by 10,964 persons, each
of whom not following but perhaps giving the example to the
petitioners whose petition was presented by a noble carl that
evening (Malmesbury) stated his employment and residence.
The petitioners complained that there was an interference
with that free intercourse with foreign nations which it had
been the intention of the Almighty should be kept up by
giving to various countries various productions, and by ena-
bling them to exchange those productions one with the other.
They complained that many obstacles were put in the way of
intercourse with foreign nations by means of those laws ;
they stated that the effect of those obstacles was most inju-
rious to themselves and those who depended upon them—
that they produced great commercial inconveniences, and
that, under particular circumstances, they created great dis-
trust among the great mass of the population in this country.
In the view which the petitioners took of those laws he en-
tirely concurred, and he would take the liberty of laying upon
their lordships' table the first petition, which was from the
inhabitants of Sheffield, and at the head of which were the
signatures of the master cutler, and several of the mgais-
trates of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The noble earl also
presented a petition from Bradford, signed by between 7,000
and 8,000, and about 60 petitions from places in Scotland and
England, about one-half of which were from agricultural pa-
rishes and districts—signed by upwards of 40,000 per-
sons, all to the same effect.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-05-05

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL B.—The situation of Turkey
now is very different to what it was at the death of Sultan
Mahmoud. Then, though dismayed and panic-struck at the
defeat of her army, and the desertion of her fleet, she had
the desire, and still possessed the means of resistance. Her
losses had been great, but her resources were not exhausted,
and the only boon which she particularly demanded from
foreign intervention was the surrender of her fleet. Since
that time, have the ministers of the Porte profited by the
respite which, if nothing more, the interference of Europe
has procured them ? Have they concentrated the wreck of
their army ? Have they recruited its ranks ? Have they
improved its organisation? Quite the contrary—in the pro-
vinces it has been allowed to disperse, and even in the capi-
tal a portion of it has been disbanded. A few tolerably look-
ing troops, doing duty about the palace of the Sultan, and a
number of ragged tatterdemalions, many of them boys, who
occupy the guard-houses of the capital, and may be seen (at
least in good weather) creeping backwards and forwards on
the dilapidated batteries of the Bosphorus, constitute now
nearly the whole military force of the Ottoman empire. It
has been the constant object of Russia to reduce the Turks
to this helpless state of impotency, and the occurrences of
the last few months have been admirably calculated to second
her views, and to inspire the Porte with a loftier idea of the
'invincible power and consummate wisdom of the Autocrat.
During the diplomatic struggle of the last eight months,
the energies of Turkey have gradually pined away in the
consuming agonies of hope deferred; her patience has been
exhausted by the tantalising indecision of European media-
tors, and the very small number of her public men who were
still faithful to the cause of their country, have been com-
pelled to submit to the ascendant star of Russia. The con-
temptible manoeuvring of the French and English fleets,
during the whole of last summer, before the Straits of the
Dardanelles, without daring to violate the dreaded boundary
which Russia had marked out fur them—here shall ye come
but no farther—tended to rivet the chains which they ought
to have burst asunder, and permitted the Czar to place his
protectorship in Turkey on as secure a foundation as in the
provinces on the Danube.

AN HISTORICAL, FINANCIAL. AND STATISTI-
CAL ACCOUNT OF THE REPUBLIC OF
CHILI, from 1822 to 1839. By the Retired Governpr of the
Island of Juan Fernandez.
Captain Basil Hall, R.N., F.R.S., has jus üblished his
sixth edition, entitled, "Extracts from aJo nal written on
the coasts of Chili, Peru, and Mexico, in t 'ears 1820, 1821,
and 1822." And in the advertisement t is work, after al-
luding to it and the momentous scenes passing at that period,
says as follows :

"A similar work, or one executed in the same plan, at the
present moment, after an interval of nearly twenty years,
would unquestionably afford matter for one of the most in-
teresting, and, perhaps, useful comparisons between promise
and perfonn.ance, that the political'world has ever witnessed."
—London, March, 1840.
This has emboldened me to offer the above information to
my countrymen : the MSS. are ready for the press, and if
encouraged by a sufficient number of subscribers, those who
are interested with the history of that part of South America,
and more especially the bond holders, may soon have a re-
trospective view of what has been the occasion of the non-
payment of their dividends ever since 1826 ; as well as a
faithful and impartial statement of the resources of Chili.
The work will be completed in 2 vols., Bvo., price 205..
illustrated with maps and engravings. Subscriptions received
at the Standard-office, Liverpool ; and by Mr. SUTCLIFFE,
Welbeck-street, Ashton-under-Lyne.

REPRISALS AGAINST NAPLES.

Lord MAHON asked whether any official intelligence had
been received of those measures of reprisal which, as the
house was informed on a previous occasion, had been taken
against the government of Naples.
Lord PALMERSTON answered that on Thursday he received
a deipatch, dated the 17th of April, stating that reprisals had
commenced, and that the Hydra was then in the Bay of
Naples.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-05-05

IRELAND.

The Marquis of it' ESTMEATH wished to ask the noble
viscount (Melbourne) opposite a question. A new and in-
tense system of agitation had commenced in Ireland for the
purpose of severing that country from Great Britain. The
noble viscount must of course be aware of the motives as-
signed for that agitation, which were that the other house-of
the legislature had thought fit to entertain a bill brought in
by the noble lord the member for North Lancashire. The
Irish public were informed that, unless the legislature ceased
to entertain that bill, the union between the two countries
was to be repealed. The gentleman to whom he referred
had many times professed his object of repealing the union,
and since he bad publicly avowed that object, the noble
viscount opposite had been accused, in that house, and had
not denied the charge, of offering to that gentleman a very
high legal office. Ile felt called upon to ask the noble
viscount whether he would avow the confederation which
existed between him and the honourable gentleman, and
whether, in conformity with the oath which he, in common
with every other peer of that house, bad taken, he bad told
his Sovereign what would be the effects of the refusal upon
the empire at large, and what would be the effects of the
present agitation upon Ireland itself ?
Viscount MELBOURNE was quite aware of the system of
agitation which the noble marquis had said had lately com-
menced in Ireland. That agitation was certainly not new ;
it was an old system of agitation newly revived, and it was
not quite so intense as it had been on former occasions.
With respect to the question, whether he disapproved of it
or not, he had only to say, that he had always disapproved
of proceedings of a similar nature. With respect to the
advice that had been given to her Majesty on the subject,
that was a question on which he could not give a specific or
precise answer. (Hear.)
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, that it was only ne-
cessary to refer to the newspapers to see that such confede-
ration did exist.

Lord HOLLAND rose to order. It was a most disorderly
proceeding, to refer to newspapers when questions were put
in that house.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH said, that if he was a mem-
ber of her Majesty's government, he should be exceedingly
sorry to get rid of questions such as he had put in such a
manner.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

The Mary has brought out 236 (Marshall's) emigrants in
a very healthy state, having lost but one woman above sixty
years of age, and three children under twelve months. They
principally consist of farming men and mechanics, a great
number of whom have paid their passage.—Sidney Gazette.

EXTENSIVE AND VALUABLE THEATRICAL

PROPERTY.
THE SOUTHAMPTON, PORTSMOUTH, AND
WINCHESTER CIRCUIT.
By Mr. PEATY,
On THURSDAY, the 21st instant, at One o'clock, at the
Auction Mart, near the Bank of England, subject to such
conditions as will be produced at the time of sale,
IN ONE LOT,
rrHE whole of those important THEATRICAL PRO-
PERTIES, known as the SOUTHERN CIRCUIT,
and comprising
THE SOUTHAMPTON ROYAL THEATRE,
(a substantial Freehold,) with the extensive Fixtures, Fit-
tings, Scenery, Dresses, Decorations, &c. &c., originally
purchased, and lately greatly increased at an enormous
expense, together with the Valuable Scores of Popular and
Useful Music, Copies of Plays, Parts, &c., with every thing
appertaining to a well-appointed Theatre. Also, a substantial
DWELLING-HOUSE, adjoining the Theatre, (held under
the Corporation of Southampton, on lease of forty years,
renewable every fourteen on payment of a fine—has been just
renewed) which may be occupied by the Manager or Let
advantageously, as attached to it is a good Saloon, commu-
nicating with the Upper Boxes of the Theatre. The whole
is eligibly placed in the most populous part of the gay and
thriving town of Southampton, near to the Railway Terminus,
the extensive Docks now forming, and to the Fashionable
Promenade—the New Pier.

The next Property of importance is
THE WINCHESTER THEATRE,

annum. With all the Fixtures, Fittings, Scenery, &c. This
Property is also neatly fitted, and is most eligibly situated in
the heart of the city—is an easy distance from Southampton,
and from the facility of transit afforded by the Railway, may
be conducted at a very trifling expense.

of the western world—and the latter also by its Railway and.
Docks, and it being the great naval port of the kingdom—
confer peculiar and important advantages on these properties,
and insure to an active purchaser the certainty of considerable
return upon the outlay of capital, and of realizing, in a short
time, a comfortable independence.
7hp whole is let at a good rent, and is in the possession of
Mr. Sh dders. tenant-at-will.

CHESTER RACES.

The Chester meeting, the favourite resort of the admirers of
British horse racing of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Cheshire,
second only to Doncaster, took place yesterday. The weather
proved very auspicious for the sport, and an immense con-
course of persons were drawn together. The steam-boats
from the Eastham and Birkenhead Ferries, were crowded
by anxious sportsmen from an early hour until two, and at
three o'clock, the Roodee, the city walls, the grand stand,
and the minor stands were filled to excess. The at-
tendance of fashionables was very great, and the stands
were crowded with some of the principal betting men of
the kingdom, among whom were a considerable sprinkling
of the Manchester gentry. The chief contest of the day
was the cup, or tradesmen's plate, of £2OO in specie, on
which immense amounts were pending in bets. Our readers
are already aware that the betting pn the cup was stationary
for several days, Cowboy being the favourite at from 4 to 3
to 1, parties however, taking odds against the particular
horses, according to their fancy. Among these horses, which
may be termed outsiders, Lanercost and Cruiskeen had the
pull, either of which would have won considerable sums for
many of our betting men. Towards the commencement of
the race the odds naturally altered, and the mare Bellina,
which previously had not been much thought of, was backed
at Bto 1. 3 to 1 against Cowboy, Bto 1 Lanercost, Bto 1
Gilbert Gurney, 9 to 1 Cruiskeen, 12 to 1 King Cole,
12 to 1 against the Dey of Algiers, 20 to 1 Captain Pops.
25 to 1 against Tubalcain. None others named. Twenty-
one horses started for the race at a few minutes before five
o'clock, at a rapid pace, all well together. The Dey led,
Bellona second, Pops third, Tubalcain and Cowboy lying
close up. Lanercost was last hut two, being followed by
Aimwell and the Feather. It was a beautiful race. The
Dey never was headed, and won by about a neck.
The contest is considered to be one of the best that has
taken place in Chester for many years.
The first race of the day was for the Trial Stakes, which
was won easy by Sir Thomas Stanley's Apothecary, beating
Mr. Allen's Quid, and Mr. Critchley's Dunstan. The
betting was 2 to 1 in favour of Sir Thomas.
The Produce Sweepstakes, of 50 sous each, were won
by Sir Thomas Stanley's ch c, by Battledore, beating
Lord Westminster's Secander and Daphne, and Mr. Price's
Maid of Maelor. The betting was 2to 1 against the winner,
and
.3 to 1 against Secander.

The sports of the day concluded with the contest for the
Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each for horses that never won before
the day of entry for the Plates, which was won by Mr. Mos-
tyn's Bedalian, beating Nightshade.
The Dey of Algiers was ridden by Natt, and Melbourne
by Marsou.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL B.—The situation of Turkey
now is very different to what it was at the death of Sultan
Mahmoud. Then, though dismayed and panic-struck at the
defeat of her army, and the desertion of her fleet, she had
the desire, and still possessed the means of resistance. Her
losses had been great, but her resources were not exhausted,
and the only boon which she particularly demanded from
foreign intervention was the surrender of her fleet. Since
that time, have the ministers of the Porte profited by the
respite which, if nothing more, the interference of Europe
has procured them ? Have they concentrated the wreck of
their army ? Have they recruited its ranks ? Have they
improved its organisation? Quite the contrary—in the pro-
vinces it has been allowed to disperse, and even in the capi-
tal a portion of it has been disbanded. A few tolerably look-
ing troops, doing duty about the palace of the Sultan, and a
number of ragged tatterdemalions, many of them boys, who
occupy the guard-houses of the capital, and maybe seen (at
least in good weather) creeping backwards and forwards on
the dilapidated batteries of the Bosphorus, constitute now
nearly the whole military force of the Ottoman empire. It
has been the constant object of Russia to reduce the Turks
to this helpless state of impotency, and the occurrences of
the last few months have been admirably.calculated to second
her views, and to inspire the Porte with a loftier idea of the
invincible power and consummate wisdom of the Autocrat.
During the diplomatic struggle of the last eight months,
the energies of Turkey have gradually pined away in the
consuming agonies of hope deferred; her patience has been
exhausted by the tantalising indecision of European media-
tors, and the very small number of ber public men who were
still faithful to the cause of their country, have been com-
pelled to submit to the ascendant star of Russia. The con-
temptible manoeuvring of the French and English fleets,
during the whole of last summer, before the Straits of the
Dardanelles, without daring to violate the dreaded boundary
which Russia had marked out for them—here shall ye come
but no farther—tended to rivet the chains which they ought
to have burst asunder, and permitted the Czar to place his
protectorship in Turkey on as secure a foundation as in the
provinces on the Danube.

BENDABLE STONE.—In the museum of the Asiatic So-
ciety at Calcutta, one object of curiosity is a bending or
elastic stone. This stone is apparently of granite; is about
two and a half feet by six inches in length and breadth, and
about an inch thick. This atone, being lifted at one end,
yields to the pressure, and from the hall begins to bend as it
is lifted : and, as the lifted end is raised, the bend appro;ches
nearer to the further extremity. thi be lifting power
being relaxed, the stone reverts to its former level.—Calcutta
