The remains of General Harrison had been removed from
the Congressional Burial-ground to the banks of the Ohio.
The strongest demonstrations of respect were paid to the
relics in every district through which they passed.
No alteration of consequence took place in the New York
money or stock-market in the interval between the sailing of
the Garrick and the Columbia. In exchange the business
done for the packets had not been extensive. The bills on
London ranged from 108,1 to 104. The shares in the Bank
of the United States were quoted at at New York on the 30th
at 181; and at Philadelphia, on the 29th, at 19, and at 194-

for the payment of the interest on their bonds. Negotiations
were in progress for the amount to be paid for the interest
on those of the State of Indiana, and it was believed an ar-
rangement would be completed in time. The State of
Georgia had promptly met its interest, and had even paid off
a part of the principal in specie.
A house largely concerned in the French trade had failed
in Philadelphia.
The cotton-market had become firmer, and extensive sales
had been made.

The general conviction of the immediate advent of a con-
servative government has naturally occasioned a good deal of
speculation amongst the quid nuncs ; those amateur states-
men and politicians whom the universal circulation of news-
papers has generated. Many lists of the probable members
of the conservative administration have been handed about,
of course no reliance can be placed upon such statements ;
but a London correspondent of the Edinburgh Evening Post
puts forth the following as the personnel of Sir Robert Peel's
administration with a great degree of confidence :
First Lord of the Treasury and
Sir Robert Peel.
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Secretary for the Home Department, Earl of Aberdeen.
Foreign Department, Duke of Wellington.

The weather, during the past week, has been very unset-
tled, and the hay harvest has in consequence been consider-
ably retarded ; still there has been a good deal of hay housed
in excellent condition.
A savage mob, on Tuesday, entered the apartment of an
elderly and infirm gentleman, in Meath-street, Dublin,
named Craddock, a retired officer of the 41st regiment. This
gentleman, who is upwards of seventy years old, they found
on a bed of sickness, and having commanded him to rise
forthwith and proceed to the hustings, they, upon his pleading
inability to move, fractured his skull in two places with brick-
bats, and the unfortunate sufferer is now in hospital, where
his death is every moment expected.—The above gentleman
has since died.—Packet.
APPROACHING ROYAL VISITS.—We understand her Ma-
jesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert are likely to
honour the Earl and Countess Cowper with their company,
at Passenger, as early as next week, and it is said the Queen
and her illustrious consort have been pleased to accept an
invitation from the Duke and Duchess of Bedford to pass a
few days at Woburn Abbey, Beds, where preparations have
already commenced for the reception of a distinguished and
numerous circle. It is rumoured that the 'Marquis and Mar •
chioness of Westminster will, in all probability, be honoured
by the presence of the Queen and his Royal Highness at
Moor Park, the noble marquis's delightful residence at Rick-
mansworth.—Record.
The Earl of Cardigan was ballotted for as a member of
the Senior United Service Club on Tuesday. There were 28
white and 166 black halls ; in all, 194 ballotted. The noble
earl was therefore rejected, and the consequence is, that he
cannot be again proposed a member for ten years. It so hap-
pens that the other candidates—among them the major of
the eleventh hussars—were all admitted.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—We under-
stand that the note of suspension and interdict presented by
or pre-
the Edinburgh committee of directors, against certain reso-
_ o ERS is peculiar to lutions of the general meeting of shareholders of the Ed-
cientific skill with great accu- inburgh and Glasgow Railway Company held in February
-nsenuainted with last, was some time ago passed by Lord Ivory ; and that in
a note to the interlocutor his lordship expressed a decided
opinion, that these resolutions were a clear evasion of the act
of parliament incorporating the company. The board of di-
rectors having reclaimed to the second division of the court,
their lordships, on Thursday, after hearing counsel on four t
different days, pronounced an unanimous judgment, adher-
ing to Lord Ivory's interlocutor, and refusing the reclaiming
note.—Edinburgh Evening Post.
It is confidently stated that the conservatives mean still to
try to oust Lord John Russell and Alderman Wood from the
city, on the ground that the polling books of some particular
ward were wholly kept back at the election for party pur-
poses. It is moreover rumoured that Lord John Russell is
to be pitchforked into the House of Peers.
THE CORN LAWS.—Who has spoken in favour of the
ministerial measure for the repeal of the corn laws anywhere
in Ireland ? We shall be answered that Mr. Daniel O'Con-
nell has, in Dublin, given the full value of his grand reputa-
tion to the abuse of those laws in his most venerable of Bil-
lingsgate; but that will not count for much. Has anybody
else dared to do it elsewhere than in the foul purlieus in
which that foul animal is allowed to grunt and wallow ? No-
body, from the top of Lough Swilly to the bottom of Cape
Clear. The Irish elections will be almost over before these
observations of ours arrive in their land, and what we can
say on the subject of the corn laws cannot have any elec-
tioneering effect, if our power of persuasion were ten thou-
sand fold the force of what we can flatter ourselves that we
possess ; but we may request that those who next canvass a
liberal Irish constituency, will be so good as to infot in those
whose votes they are desirous of obtaining, what is to be the
effect of a repeal of the English corn laws on a corn-export-
ing country like Ireland, whose best, or in fact only customer
is England, should foreign corn be admitted into the English
market? We can answer in one word—BEGGARY !
ON DIT.—We understand the marriage of Lord John
Russell, and the beautiful daughter of the Earl of Minto,
takes place at Minto House, about the 20th of the present
month.
CANVASSING ON THE MOORS.—"Feyther," said a far-
mer's strapping wench, on his return last week from Roch-
dale market to his sheep farm in the moors of Spotland,
" Feyther, there's bin a felley beer sin' yo' wen'n off this
mornin'." " Well, an' wot did he want ?" asked the
farmer. " Want !—he sed he wanted yo'r suff'rin's for a
member o' Parliament." " The dule he did?—but yo' gan
him none I gewse?" " Nowe, mi mother sed we hadno'
one i'th' heawse, for yo'd'n ta'en 'em o'to Roby Bank, at
Ratchda'." " Well, an' wot sed he then ?" " Sed !—he
set up a gurd o' laighin' az iv he'd ha' brasted, till I leet th'
dogg lose, an' then he ran like owd Nick ; but he laafc bwoth
cwot laps be'ind him."—Manchester Chronicle.
DRUNK AND SOBER.—We saw a hog lying in the gutter
the other day ; and in the opposite one was a well-dressed
man (.1) The first had a ring in his nose—the latter a ring
on his finger. The man was drunk—the hog was sober.
" A. hog is known by the company he keeps," thought we—
and so is a man—and so off we went.—Scotch Paper.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.—On Monday evening, a party of
gentlemen met at Watson's Hotel, for the purpose of pre-
senting Mr. William Robinson, of this town, with a silver
snuff-box, as a testimonial of their regard and esteem. The
box is a very massive one, and bears the following inscrip-
tion :—" Presented to Mr. William Robinson, Professor of
Music, as a tribute of respect by a few friends, on the com-
pletion of his first years's serviees as organist of the Parish
Church. Blackburn, July 1, 1841."—Blackburn Gazette.
MESSRS. MACAVLAY AND GIBSON-CRAIG IN DANGER.
—The question is generally discussed whether these gentle-
men are the duly elected members for Edinburgh, or whether
Messrs. Thompson and Lowery, the chartists, are not legally
entitled to that honour. It is clear from the terms of the
Reform act that, in the event of the show of hands being
taken, and a poll demanded by the candidates in the minority,
the poll is imperatively enjoined—" it shall take place," as
the act says. In this case, however, one of the chartist can-
didates, and the proposer and seconder of the other expressed
their desire that no poll should take place : but it was then
too late. The Sheriff had only one duty to performto
