There was a short supply of wheat by land carriage aampleB from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk this morning, and only a limited quantity of barley, beans, and peas from all those counties; a few vessels have arrived with oata from our own coast, Scotland and Ireland, since laat market day, which added to the released stocks of foreign now on sale, formed a good show of this article as to quantity. The freBh importations offorelgn wheat and Hour have been to a fair extent, with a moderate addition to beans nnd oata. The weather was ahowery in the past week up to Friday on that day it set in hot again, and waa oppressively soup to noon yesterday afterwards there was a thunderstorm audltbecomecooleronce more with rain at intervula. The cutlfug of rye has commenced pretty generally in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, and with the recent forcing weather that of wheat will soon ollow as far as regarda the early kinds. Owing to the amalluCBS of the supply of English wheat, it waa takes off by town millers at fully as much monev as last Monday.

Foreign was held firmly on former terms, but no great extent of buai-neaa was transacted therein, distant buyers wanting it ou lower terma than the factors will submit to. Town-made flour was unaltered in value; good brands of American brought previous rates, and were in steady request. Barley realised the rates of thlsdayse'unlght, ith a moderate sale. Choice malt was la. per qr.

Tarquin and the Consulate; a Tragedy in 5 Acts, by Richard Newton Greaves. London: Whittaker and Co. Derby James Storer. We are much gratified in introducing this very promising work, from the pen of our townsman, Mr. Greaves, to the notice of our readers and we, perhaps, owe him and them an apology for not having done it before.

To write a tragedy is a bold attempt generally spealring, rather too bold, when-as we believe is the case the present instance-that attempt is the first poetical efforc of its author which has challenged public criticism. Failure under such circumstances evcrv one must admit, may have in it much ot SET though? as a whole, the high standard by which dramatic composition is tested can scarcely be expected to be reached by many writers, yet it may, and often does happen, that detached scenes and passages counterbalance numerous defects; and, by their poetical beauties, blot out very much that to the critical reader may appear discordant in the general arrangement and development ot the ot. We are far from saying that Tarquin and the Consulate" is not a tragedy written in accordance with received Tules perhaps too literal an accordance with them may, to some extent, be said to render it deficient in force and variety what we mean is, that a dramatic work marked by great poetical power and furnishing ample interest the nature and disposition of its details and the truthfulness of the gha-ructcrspourtrayed, is not an every day occurrence and that the man who may justly acquire a reputation as a skilful versifier, may, after all, have but slight claim to those qualities which constitute, in the highest sense of the word, the dramatic poet. Mr. Gbeaves's tragedy is founded upon a well known passage in Roman history, as the following illustrative note prefixed to it will explain Lucius Tarquinlus, Burnsmed Supurbua, or the Proud, the Seventh and laat King of Rome, having caused his predecessor, Servius Tul-llui, to be murdered, usurped the throne himself.

The King, about four years after his accession, declared war against tho Butull, nnd aent an army to invest their chief city, Ardea, a. the head of which were Sextus Tarquin, the Kiug son, and Lucius Tarqulnius Col-lttlnua. There, whilst the Generals were carousing in their tent, the discourse turned upon their wives, and each, having extolled, invidiously, the beauty and virtue ol his own, a hasty agreement was made amongst them to mount their horses, ride back to Home, and decide the argument by entering, unexpectedly, their separate homes. Lu-cretlo, the wife of Collatinus, was found employed with her wool, amongst her hundmaldene. There, SexuiB Tarquinlus.

Instigated by hrntil lust. formed adeslxuof vlolntinu simrtii, THE NEW BATCH OF BARONETS. The Right Hon. Thomas Frankland Lewis has been long known in public life, and was at, the head of the Poor-law Commission, from its first formation until the year before last. His politics were of the mongrel kind, called liberal Conservative" which means, we believe, anything you please." Mr.

Pakington is the son of William Russell, of Powick Court, Worcestershire, and assumed the name of Pakington on becoming heir to his maternal uncle, Sir John Pakington, Bart. He was elected member for Droitwich (near which borough he resides, and has considerable property) in 1841, on the Conservative interest. Mr. Gladstone, of Fasque, is an eminent merchant, and the father of the late Secretary for the Colonies, with whom he differs in almost all his political opinions, and especially with reference to the Corn-laws, from the entire repeal of which he anticipates serious evils. Mr.

Hogg was educated for the profession of the law. Having been called to the bar, he proceeded to Calcutta, and practised with success. In process of time lie fell into the office of Registrar in the Supreme Court of that city. On his return to England, he mingled in the affairs of the India House, and became a director, in which situation he has displayed industry and ability. Was returned for Beverley in 1841, as a Conservative, and subsequently followed Sir R.

Peel into the very extremes of his free-trade measures, voting with the right lion, baronet for the Corn bill, Mr. William Fcildcn, member for Blackburn, is a manufacturer at that place, for which he was returned in 1832. He is a Whig of the widest range, inclines to the bullot, and declares war (in words) against all monopolies, and of course supported Sir R. Peel in his attack upon the landed interest and this is the only visible reason for making him a baronet, unless another may be found in the fact that he is a Lancashire man, and a cotton-spinner and weaver. Colonel Verner, member for the county of Armagh, is a man of a very different stamp.

He was born in 1782, and in 1819 married Harriet, only daughter of the Hon, Col. Wing-field, deputy grand master of the Orange Society, and was himself a fearless and honest Orangeman so long as that society continued in existence. He served in Spain and France, and was wounded at Waterloo. Had the honour of being struck off the list of justices of the peace in Ireland by the Marquis of Normtinby, because he was said to have given a political toast in unison with his cherished principles at a private dinner party. Opposed the minister in most of his innovations but there arc few men more worthy of the honour conferred upon him, whatever the motive for granting it.

Sir Moses Montefiore is a worthy and most respectable member of the ewish body. He has often distinguished himself by works evincing great benevolence and public spirit, and the compliment paid him is not only deserved, but will be received by his fraternity with a very grateful feeling. Morning Herald, ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. TWO LIVES LOST. Balcomhe, Tuesday Evening.

An accident of a most lamentable description occurred on "day evening on the London and Brighton Railway, at the Balcombe station, situate about a mile and a half on the Brighton side of the Balcombe tunnel, by which two persons, one a female passenger and the other the station-clerk, lost their lives. The station, it should be stated, is of the worst construction, and offers but trifling security, or even accommodation, to the public. It is what it termed a good second-class station but all it comprises is a kind of sentry-box on the left of the up line, just sufficient to shelter the station-clerk, his desk, It is approached by a deep flight of steps from the main road, which passes over the railway there is no platform or railway to prevent persons wandering on the line, while the pathway is so exceedingly narrow that it is difficult to keep a steady footing on the piissing of trains. Passengers travelling by the down trains are compelled to walk across both lines ot rails to tlie opposite side, and to this dangerous system may the accident in some measure be attributed. It appears that at about ten minutes before three o'clock, among the passengers who came to the station and booked themselves for the half-past three o'clock train from Brighton for London, were Mr.

Arthur Murphy, who holds the situation of a store-keeper in the ordnance department in the Royal Arsenal Woolwich, and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Murphy. One of the clerks had in the morning got leave to go to Brighton on business, consequently the only person to perform all the duties of the station was the station clerk, a man named Shaw. The down two p.m. express train passes a few seconds before the thirty minutes past two o'clock one from Brighton comes up, consequently the greatest precaution should be adopted in passing the passengers over the rails.

According to appearances, however, there is no clock at the station for the guidance of the passengers, or even a notice board, like at most stations, cautioning them as to crossing the line. After taking the tickets Mrs. Murphv, proceeded to cross the rails in the direction of the shed on the up-line, and at the same moment the down express was heard by Shaw approaching at its usual velocity. lie looked out of his door-way and saw that she had apparently slipped or fallen on the down lines of the rails. Seeing her imminent danger he heroically rushed out, caught hold of her, and made a desperate effort to throw the unfortunate lady off the line, when at the same instant the engine struck them botli to the ground, and the whole of the train passed over them, killing them instantaneously.

A more appalling sight was scarcely ever witnessed. The wheels had passed completely over the head of Shaw, thereby rendering the least recognition of his features impossible. The head of Mrs. Murphy was sadly mutilated, it was nearly cut in half and to add to the shocking catastrophe, she was far advanced in pregnancy. The sufferings of Mr.

Murphy, on discovering the dreadful fate of his wife, as may be easily conceived, were of the most heart-rending character. He was the first to raise the mangled bodies off the line, and they were afterwards conveyed to a neighbouring public-house. Not the least fault can be attributed to the engine driver of the train. He saw the dangerous position of the unhappy persons, and used every means in his power to stop the engine by shutting off the steam and applying vigorously the breaks, but the rate of the train, as it does not stop at Balcombe, en- From the LONDON GAZETTE.

Newfoundland, wo Glasgow, reached us on Tuesday, in which are the following details of an awnu anu Destructive fire at that place The first broke out at half-past nine o'clock on the morning of the 1st of June, in the workshop of Mr. Hamlin, cabinet maker, uiuewurui-sireet, and a Slioit nine hpieuu in uu direction with frightful rnnMitv. It soon embraced both sides of Queen-street, and came raging towards Water-street a nery torrent. It now became apparent, from the increased force of the fire and the wind, that nothing could save Water-street, the fire-engines not having the least effect. The stone premises of Messrs.

j. anu w. Stewart, being well bunt and protected with iron shutters, it was thought might have stayed its progress for a time but being surrounded on three sides by wooden buildings, R0gerson and Son, the Victoria Hotel, Messrs. C. F.

Bennett and as well as their own wooden stores in the rear. rl, mre in verv short time sur rounded by fare; and the inmates, cut off from other retreat, had to escape from the wharfs in boats and vessels, after having rolled into the water about one hundred tuns of seal oil, from the warts and stores. The fire now became awfully intense and terrific; the oil-vats of Messrs. C. F.

Bennett and and Messrs. Stewart, with their contents, together with many other combustible materials, awl about 150 puncheons oi molasses, being all on fire at once, the effect may be conceived, but cannot be described and to add to the danger, at tins moment three vessels were discovered to be on fire, the Elizabeth Margaret, Rozelle, and Royal William, winch, with exertions, was got under before the flames arrived at any height. The scene, as now witnessed from the water, was awfully terrific masses of raging fire ascending high in the air, then stretching forth and seizing everything within its reacli but, still unshackled, rushing on with destructive energy. The military and town engines kept in front of the fire, raking up positions where they thought a stand might be made, but it was all vain, nothing could withstand its awful advances stone stores, wooden stores, slated and covered with sheet iron, seemed not to make the least difference, and, apparently, did not a moment stay its progress and at six o'clock the whole oi the town, with the exception of the lanes and parts of bower-street, were prostrate in ashes. The custom-house, gaol, various public offices, banking-house, the theatre, a church, and a nunnery, are araonc the imblie buildinns destroyed.

What the acttiul nilimmf nrmrni-lv lncf. Ml- niimU houses consumed, may be, it is difficult at once to estimate out taking the one at a million sterling (including value of houses), and the latter at 1 or 2,0001. may not be much out of the way. The number of inhabitants at once rendered houseless and totally destitute, cannot be much under 10,000, a great proportion of whom are women and children, the male part of the population being at present absent at the fishing and how they are to subsist, or be lodged and clothed, tor the present, God only knows. FUHTilltR PARTICULARS.

(From the Watchman.) The general secretaries of the Wesleynn Missionary Society have just received from the Rev. Richard Williams the following account of this calamitous occurrence Wesleyan Missiun House, St. John's, Newfoundland, June 12, 1840. Rev. and dear Sirs About hall'-nast eisrht o'clock nn Tuesday morning last, a fire broke out in the shop of a cabinet-maker, towards the upper part of this town, the wind blowing at the time from the north-west quite fresh.

There had been no rain of any consequence for a long time, so that the roofs of the houses were remarkably dry. The ringing of bells gave the alarm, and the military of the garrison and all the fire-engines in the town were soon in requisition, but the flames spread with fearful rapidity, houses were pulled down in great numbers, and everything that human ingenuity and strength could do was done with promptitude aiid perseverance and for about an hour and a half after the commencement of this awful catastrophe some hope was entertained that a stop would be put to the progress of the destroying element but having passed a given point all hope was given up the body of fire, including the houses on both sides of the streets, was now immense, and the burning embers were driven by the increased violence of the wind, and resting upon the dry shingles of the houses, all human effort was entirely unavailing. People had endeavoured at least to save some of their furniture, and every place that seemed to offer security for this purpose was filled with it. The Roman Catholic school-house, a large new and unfinished building, standing directly opposite the new nunnery, and only a few yards space between them, these buildings, standing on the highest points of land, and quite out of the range of the fire, were thought to be perfectly secure from harm but it appears that articles of furniture had been placed in the school-house in which some sparks or embers had been unobservedly bound up, and about half-past one or two o'clock, the building, two stories in height, nnd all of wood, was all on fire, the wind blew the flames upon the nunnery, and two other buildings. This was an awful moment.

Hitherto the ruin was confined to the two lower streets of the town, and the flames there running with unstayable speed, now reached the Protestant Episcopal Church, a wooden building also, and very old. Our position now became truly dreadful. The Chapel and Mission House stand a little above the upper burning street of the two, and the fire was fast nearing us. On our back and a little to the westward of us, were the burning convent, school-house, and two other houses, and in our front, but a few yards, was the flaming church. Oh what a moment to me was this The flaming embers fell upon us in all directions, and several times our Chapel and Mission House were ignited but, by the blessing of Almighty Cod upon the efforts of a few friends and noble-minded soldiers who came to our assistance, uncalled for, our sanctuary and mission premises are all preserved and uninjured, except the fences around the graveyard.

But our people our beloved people many of them have lost their all houses, furniture, clothes, money, and all are gone. At this moment it is supposed and believed that not less than 10,000 persons are houseless. Every mercantile establishment in the port is destroyed, but one only so that, with this exception, there is not a store or wharf "remaining on the north side of the port. For the space of one mite and a half, including the two main streets of the town, nothing remains but a forest of chimneys, the melancholy proof's of the awful desolation. This dispensation of Almighty God surpasses anything of the kind that I ever saw, and 1 witnessed both the fires of St.

John's. New Brunswick, and terrible as they were, the fire of St. John's Newfoundland, far exceeds them. We shall, however, go on in our work, trusting in the Lord for the sanctified use of this inscrutable dispensation of his wisdom and power, knowing that lie will not always chide, neither will lie keep his anirer for ever. Yours very affectionately, Williams.

I must apologise for this hasty espistle, as I can scarcely get time to write a sentence without being interrupted by persons calling for tickets to get bread for their starving and homeless children. Ibrahim Pacha at Home. The territorial possessions of Ibrahim Pacha are immense. He has introduced into Egypt sugar cultivation on a large scale. Besides cotton the benefit of whose production Egypt owes to Mehemet Ali the vine and the olive have been especial objects of bis attention.

The gardens of Ibrahim Pacha, especially that of Rhoda, on the Nile, are eminently beautiful. They are under the care of Scotch gardeners they are enriched with a boundless variety of fruits and flowers and the Pacha has spared no expense in collecting from remote regions the rare, the magnificent, the useful, and the ornamental. There are no properties in Egypt so well administered, none so profitable, as those of Ibrahim Pacha. They afford an example of successful administration, and lead to a confident hope that the same spirit of order and enterprise may preside over the political future destinies of Egypt.

Now as we were the first to announce the intention of the West Norfolk agriculturists on this head, we may state, that we did so on the best authority, and we can further add, that there certainly will be a public demonstration to this effect, and of such character, too, as was never before witnessed in Lynn. It will be worthy the man, the county, and the cause. Tuesday, the 4th of August, is the day appointed forthe dinner, and the Earl of Orford, the Lord High Steward of Lynn, has consented to preside.

It is confidently expected that the Duke of Richmond, LoTd Eglinton, Sir John Trollope, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Christopher, and a host of other distinguished peers and commoners, will honour his lordship by their presence. Lynn Advertiser. Important to Insurers.

A case was heard in the Exchequer Chamber, which came before the court on a writ of error, to try the eil'eet of a clause, usually inserted in life assurance policies, to the effect that the policy became void if the insurer committed suicide. The insurer in the present case had effected five policies in the Argus-ofiice, for 9991. each, and last year, while suffering from insanity, committed suicide. A decision in favour of his widow had been given by Mr. Justice Cresswell, on the ground that suicide under such circumstances, did not come within the direct meaning of a felonious act.

After the case had been fully argued, the court held that if a man voluntarily killed himself, it was of no consequence whether be was sane or not, and reversed the judgment of the court below. Expectations of. Free Trade, -The Liverpool Standard says The bakers of bread have ruu their stocks of flour so fine that it was difficult to obtain bread in some of the villages in this county at the beginning of last week. Even in this town some of them are so completely out of stock as to reqaire-thattbe flour bought by them shall be sent home the same afternoon for immediate use." Charitable Trusts. A bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr, Hume and Dr.

Bowring, for procuring accounts of receipt and expenditure by all persons administering charitable trusts in England, was printed last week. It contains four sections to procure regular accounts of all property secured for all charitable purposes in England. It is proposed that accounts shall be kept of charitable trusts, in books, of all monies received and paid, and of the several matters for which sums shall have been received and paid. That on or before the 1st of March next, and yearly from that period, accounts of such trusts shall be sent to the Secretary of State, and an abstract of such statements and accounts, shall be laid before Parliament. Passports in Belgium.

The following notice has been issued by the police department at Brussels:" An erroneous opinion prevailing nmongst travellers proceeding to Belgium that passports are not required, it is deemed necessary to point out the error, and to state that every foreigner passing through or travelling in Belgium must be provided with a regular passport. The greatest facilities, however, are afforded for the examination of passports, and it is seldom, in fact, that travellers are required to give them up or even to show them," The Ice Trade. This is one of the most curious branches of modern commerce. A portion of the foreign ice consumed in London is imported from the north of Europe, but much of it comes from the United States of America. The principal locality for cutting ice in that country is the Wenham Lake, near Boston, and there are in Boston sixteen companies engaged in transporting ice to the East and West Indies, New Orleans, South America, nnd Europe.

The quantity exported from Boston in February, 1845, was 3,815 tons, and the total export of the previous eight months tons, making the whole quantity exported, from June, 1844, to February, 1845, 25,007 tons. Since that time the quantity has been greatly increased. Diligence in Business, English men of business have thriven by application. By application they must continue to thrive. When a partner in a steady firm rather, when the whole firm, bodily begins to slacken in its attendance at the counting-house, to appear in the park during business hours, to be smart and negligent in theirhabits sinkingtheplorldingmercliantintheeasy gentleman at large we begin to augur ev il.

There is a certain steady attention and vigilance a determination to overdo rather than underdo to be on the right side in all emergencies to lose no labour in watching for opportunities by making the most of a holiday, which is the condition of commercial success in an individual. Perhaps our national supremacy in this respect is founded on similar national habits, and we look, therefore, with some jealousy at an inroad upon customs on which, as a whole, so much depends. O'CONNELL'S MISSIVE TO THE WHIGS. The Liberator has published a letter, in which, after demanding an Irish Parliament, by which, he says, the monstrous grievance of an enormous wealthy establishment for the Church of a minority, of something less than one-tenth of its inhabitants, would be redressed and reduced to suitable dimensions," he thus continues Let no Minister dream of bidding for the people of Ireland against me and the Repealers, unless lie be ready to redress all these grievances effectually and expeditiously. The next class of grievances which an incoming Minister would have to redress, if he bids for the people of Ireland, include among other things 1.

An improved charter for the Board of National Education, taking special care to leave the dominion of each persuasion of Christians to the ecclesiastical superiors of that denomination. There should not lie any power or influence, either direct or indirect, given over anv one persuasion to persons of another. This principle should apply to the Protestant and the Presbyterian as well as the Dissenter and the Catholic. Perfect fair play for all religion; no charter schools' for any. 2.

The infidel as they are called, should be placed on a similar principle of perfect fairness to the religion of each persuasion. The ecclesiastical superiors of the Catholic to have the regulation of Catholic education in each college, so the Protestant authorities over Protestant education, and, in like manner, the Presbyterian and the Dissenter over their respective persuasions. For my part, I am thoroughly convinced that each Christian persuasion should educate its own religionists as in my conscience, firmly believe that what is called mixed education' has a direct tendency to unmixed infidelity, or to apathetic indifferentism. The next class of grievances is of infinite importance. The state of the Irish Peasantry the real cause of all crimes and hideous murders, must be investigated, and those grievances must be redressed.

Would that I could repeat to the people of England, trumpet-tongued, the report of Lord Devon's commission. Was there ever yet the condition of any people demanding relief so imperatively as that truly described by Lord Devon I demand coercion for the landlords, by compelling a new system of landlordism. I say distinctly the new Ministry must be prepared 1. To carry out the tenant-right, as it exists in Ulster, to all the other provices. This is the true preservation of life' measure.

It is proved to demonstration that, wherever the tenant right' exists, there arc no agrarian disturbances or murders. Can any honest or conscientious man resist the inference from this undoubted fact? 2. Compensation must be given, not onlv nvrrnieerivolv but retrospectively, for all solid and lasting improvements made upon their lands by the occupying tenants this compensation principally to consist in its details of a system tending to continue the occupation, which may be done without prejudice to the landlord especially by mixing it up with the tenant-right, and introducinc both into tho same hill. 3. The power of distraining growing crops must be taken away entirely and for ever.

"4. No right to distrain at all should be allowed to exist, except a lease of twenty-one years be accepted by or tendered to the tenant. That no power of eiectment for non-mvment. of rent be allowed to exist, except a lease of at least thirty-one ue aucepieu uy leuuerea to me tenant. 6.

The system of grand jury presentments should be en tirely clone away with, and county boards instituted, instead or the present system. The late pamphlet of Lord William Fitzgerald contains I here are other matters ot minor detail, which I may pass over for the present. I have already pointed out. sufficient matter to prove that a duty of no small importance devolves on me incoming ministry. "Let no Enitlishmnn, therefore, ask what we rnnmlnin nf We have already declared, and declare again, that we com- 1'iuin ui A scandalously defective representation.

ftuch are the measures ot relief for Ireland which the new ministry win oe required to carry out. THE CORN TRADE. The following are extracts from the Corn Circular of Messrs. oLui'ge, issued on Wednesday last. Birmingham, 7th month.

1st. 1846. During the carlv nart of the rast mnnth w.t nt weather was almost beyond precedent for the early period of euiunrci, unti nuicn oi tne spring gram was suttering tor the want of rain of which, the last ten days, we have had quite sufficient to prevent any further iniurv from droucht. between this time and harvest. In some instances the wheat nus oeen mucn laiu try the wet, but with moderately dry weather from the present time until it is ready for reaping, we think it will sustain little injury from this cause.

In many cases the crop is in an unusually forward state, and had the temperature continued as high as it generally ranged up to the 18th or 19th the harvest in some districts would have been earlier than it has been since 1826. The temperature has, however, been very much lower latterly, and if it continues to be the case, the ripening of the ear will be comparatively slow. Though the millers continue to buy with great caution, and only to supply their immediate wants, we have a consiueraDie sale lor foreign wheats, especially Polish Odessa, since its liberation from bond and unless the weather shall be unusually favourable for brinaintr the new wheats pnvlv to market, it will probably be found that there is not more of loreign in the kingdom, especially of the best description of wneui, man win dc wanteu ior consumption during the summer and autumn. Though the barley crop was at one period greatly in want of ruin wn if A wmr in suiucienu nine to l'enuer tne present prospects favour of a full average crop but it will be late compared with wheat, and the quality probably various, here is an increased demand for grinding qualities, with very little on sale. Oats are reported to look tolerably well on the ground.

Though our imports from Ireland have been light, they have been fully equal to our present demand, and they have rather given way in price. Beans have met an increased demand at rather advancing prices. Although there has been less disposition to purchase since the change in the weather, we think that they have sus-tained quite an irreparable injury from the drought, and that the rain in most cases came too late to be of essential benefit to tnem. The crop of peas is not likely to prove below an average one. India corn is now the cheapest article for feeding pigs, for which purpose we expect a large demand.

Potatoes are in some places complained of, but as yet we think they have suffered very little from the disease which was so general last year. THE NEW C0I1N DUTIES. For the information of our readers generally we reprint the scale of duties of the New Corn Bill, which has now become law fm- tt Parl'ament'having been passed providing of the Corn-laws in February, 1849, it is PnJv i. ex1l)eulet t0 suspend the active operations of the Anti-Bue' and the Executive Council in Manchester is niloi, lqUeirKu t0 the necessary seps for making up and n'i'e affairs of the League with as little delay as possible, --inn the accounts of the receipts and expenditure of tho eagtie, now presented, be passed.

In inovingand seconding these resolutions the meeting was addressed by 1. Cobden, M.P., R.

Bright, M.P., Joseph Brotherton, M.P., Messrs. R. II. Greg, Edward Baines, P. A.

Taylor, Win. Brown, J. Cheethom, F. R. Atkinson, and J.

B. Smith, and other gentlemen. A meeting was subsequently held in the Town Hall, to originate a tribute to Richard Cobden, and which was attended by some of the most wealthy men of Manchester, irrespective of party. The mayor of Manchester presided and a resolution that a testimonial be raised was moved by Mr. R.

H. Greg, and seconded by Mr. Brown, of Liverpool, and unanimously agreed to. A committee to carry the resolution into effect was then appointed, but no sum was named as the amount. Several letters read however expressed a hope that it would not be less than 100,0001.

and Mr. John Brookes, in a letter naming that sum, requested to have his name put down for 5001. Alderman Potter announced a donation towards the testimonial from Messrs. J. and L.

Phillips and of 1,0001. The announcement of this sum was received with great cheering, and it was followed by several other sums of equal amount, and varying down to Dl. The total amount subscribed in the room, in the course of half an hour, or little more, was upwards of 18,0001. FREE TRADE. (From the Leeds Intelligencer.

We annex a letter from one of our mpmhrva Beckett, addressed to the merchants and maniifaptmvmi 'fi, borough of Leeds. It is a remarkable document. It is full judicious, and, as coming from a free-trader, of startling advice. At the very moment that we have stripped ourselves naked to wrestle with the competition of the world, in the easy confidence of our superiority, we are earnestly admonished the growing skill, and rapidly increasing resources of the loreigner. I his, indeed, is a tremendous satire upon recent events.

It shows the cruel delusion which has been practised the people of this country, solicited to give their verdict favour ot free trade, on the supposition of the immense uurivuueu superiority or our domestic skill. Instead of sweeping foreigners from our own markets, we are likely to be bearded by them in our own. TO THE MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS OF THE BOROUGH OF LEEDS. 18, Upper Brook-street, July 1, 184G. Gentlemen The political events which have recently occurred, and which have led to the resignation of Sir Robert Peel's government, may possibly awaken in your minds some doubts as to whether, under a new administration, there will be a perseverance in that policy of commercial reform which has been brought into operation by her Majesty's late government.

I have therefore felt it my duty to make every inquiry for your information, and from what I can collect 1 am led to believe that the government now forming will not be desirous to make any alteration in those regulations which have secured the sanction of parliament, and upon the faith of which I imagine your commercial calculations are now being formed. During the late parliamentary discussions you will have perceived that the main opposition to the withdrawal of the system of protection has been raised by the agricultural interest, under the apprehension that in our home markets, when they are freely opened to the produce of the foreign corn growers, competition in price will arise, injurious to the prosperity of our domestic agriculturist. Opinions greatly differ upon this subject but whether these apprehensions be well or ill founded, I rejoice to see a determination on the part of the agricultural body to make every exertion to meet an emergency of this nature, by the application of increased capital to those nowers of nrnrlnctinn which are inherent in our native soil, and by every union of uu science wmcu can oe orougni to Dear upon the practical operations of husbandry. But let us recollect that foreign competition will not be confined to the produce of agriculture and my object in addressing you is to call your attention to a consideration of our own case, and to the competition to which our manufacturing interests will be necessarily exnosed this mav be thought of lit tle moment by many, because it has been long proclaimed from our manufacturing districts that we disregard protection, and that we are ready to challenge all the world to competition, provided a free import of corn be established yet I am anxious, as we are now upon the eve of encountering this competition, that we should not be over-confident in the security of our manufacturing superiority. The patterns and specimens of continental cloth which I have lately seen very much surprise me in their quality as well as in price and knowing as I do from yourselves that you have long felt the severity of competition in neutral markets it cannot be expected that under the free trade policy you can escape from the same competition in the markets of our own country.

It appears to me thatthesamemeans which must be applied to the preservation of our agricultural prosperity must be applied to that of our manufactures. We must give a minute atten tion to every element of our manufacturing processes, and a paiienr, investigation to tuose particular parts in which foreigners may have obtained a superiority, all our energies must be called into requisition, and trifles must not be overlooked. If we are to excel in quality our woolstaplers must seize every opportunity of laying in the raw material upon the lowest possible terms; if we are to vie successfully in colours, our dyers must consent to devote themselves to chemical study, in order to obtain a thorough knowledge of chemical combination and if the superiority of our manufactures is to prevail, every advantage must be taken of any improvement which mechanical ingenuity can devise. Such arc the means which will be necessary, and which I believe will be found effectual in the preservation and extension of our trade and taking this view of the necessity of these precautions, I have felt the more desirous of stating it to you, because I am fully sensible of the great responsibility which attaches tome as one of your representatives, in having given my support to the system of commercial reform. At the same time, I confess to you that I have no fear as to the issue of this conflict with foreign competition, be it agricultural or manufacturing, so long as we are all made fully aware that the conflict will be severe, and provided we call into play all those means which we so happily possess within ourselves to meet it.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful friend and servant, William Beckett. Mr. Serjeant Tnlfourd was sworn in yesterday asQueen's Serjeant, before Lord Lyndhurst.

Public Pensions. One of the last Ministerial acts of Sir Robert Peel was the recommendation of Mr. M'Cul loch to Her Majesty for a pension of 2001. for the services he has rendered by hia writings on political economy. act of kindness was entirely spontaneous, and it is the more creditable to Sir Robert Peel, as on various occasions Mr.

M'Culloch has openly censured some of those measures brought forward by the right hon, baronet." Munificent Bequest. Mrs. Magee, of Dublin, lately deceased, has left 20,0001. to trustees for the erection of a Presbyterian College in Ireland. The deceased was relict of the Rev.

Amongst Sir Robert Peel's new batch of baronets is a Presbyterian, a Jew, and an Orangeman. The tact that Sir James Graham is not to be called to the Upper House is considered symptomatic of Sir Robert Peel's not intending. to retire from public life just as Lord Stanley's premature elevation is now understood to have been preparatory to the repeal of the Corn-laws.

Pbobuction or Coal in England. England possesses the richest veins of coal, both as regards quality and quantity they form a line from the south-west to northeast.

In Northumberland and Durham, from the Tweed to the Tees, coal abounds at Whitehaven, in the hills of Cumberland, in Yorkshire, and in Lancashire. The most abundant mines are in Wales. The consumption of coal in England and in exportation is so great, that it has often been asked if the mines would not be exhausted under 1500 vears the venrlv nmicitmTitinn 20,000,000 to 2 1,000,000 tons.

This, in the presence of Brutus, a reputed idiot, she told to CollatlnuB, and stabbed herself.

Upon this, Brutus threw off his as-sumption of Idiocy, drew the dagger from her body, end swore to avenge her death, and hla country's wrongs. The army joined him, and expelled the Tarqulns. Afterwards, his own sons, Titus and Tiberius, influenced by love for the daughters of Tarquin, conspired against him. The conspirators bound themselves by an oath (rendered inviolate by the sacrifice of a man, whose blood they drunk), to banish the Consuls and restore the King. The conspiracy was discovered, the conspirators condemned, and Brutus, according to the Roman law, was forced to be present at their execution.

Meanwhile, Tarquin raised an army In Etrurla, returned, nnd was defeated In a desperate battle near to Rome, in which, Aruns, his son, and Brutus fought in single combot and died upon the field together. Sextus Tarquin wjs slain at Gabil, to which city he bad fled. Col. latlnus, in consequence of being named Tarqulnlus, was banished.

We had no words for nature The fairest blossom of the early spring, That once had won the language from thy lip And lured thy hand to pluck it from the stem, Un-noted gave its beauty to the day And shed its ripened foliage unseen.

The right lion, baronet requested that, in the event of a subscription being determined upon, bis name might be put down for 1001. as a contribution from his private purse.

It was stated that Lady Peel had assigned a pension of 251. a-year to Mrs. Haydon out of a fund over which, from her position, she has contrnul and that Sir Robert Peel, having found that a son of Mr. Haydon, who held a situation in the Customs, was of sufficient standing to receive promotion, immediately gave him a step in rank. The prompt generosity evinced by Sir R.

Peel in promoting the welfare of this unfortunate family was warmly eulogised. Keswick. The local papers state that all through the lake district tourists are now congregating from all parts, and at Keswick in particular the numbers are unusually great for this season. The floating island on Dcrwent water, which was last seen in 1842, now appears again above the surface to a considerable extent and forms a very attractive object. The island has attained its present position within a few days, although the lake is a foot higher than it was, and the island has lately been so much under water that boats could pass over it with ease.

Public Ovens. The establishment of public washing-houses has led to the consideration of other measures advantageous to the poor. A Paris paper states that a public oven, at which the poorer inhabitants of the quarter may bake any quantity of bread and other victuals at a very trifling expense has beeu established in the Rue Jean-Pain-Mollet, near the Hotel de Ville. The hot weather has had a wonderful effect on several of the London papers within the last two or three weeks. The Beacon, The Forester, The Sentinel, The London Journal, and two or three others, have been melted down, and have disappeared.

A Novel Mail. The Charlbury letters are conveyed to and from Enstone by a mail drawn by two dogs, which travel with incredible swiftness, running a distance of three miles and a quarter, when haste is required, in about 10 minutes. jsunuwy uuarauin. Value of Racing Stakes. In no other countrv in the world exists the same encouragement for breeding and running race horses, in the number and value of the prizes which tempt the amateur or follower of the pursuits of the turf, and on every side in constant succession, as in England.

In three starts it is possible for a three-year old filly to win 11,0001., and a colt of the same age 9,0001., and this too, in the course of a few months. The fact of colts not being allowed to start for the Oaks, while fillies may run for both Derby and Oaks, explains the difference in the above amounts. The total amount of money run for in Great Britain and Ireland over 153 ditrerent race-courses the year 1839 exceeded in value the enormous sum of 143,2041. Pill-Boxes and Lucifer Matches. In the committee on the Oldham District Railway Bill on Wednesday, Mr.

Nightingale, a manufacturer of lucifer matches and pill-boxes, at Newton-heath, states that he uses COO tons of timber, and that he employs 300 persons on an average throughout the year that he exports to all parts of Europe and North America and Australia, besides sending large quantities to every part of England, Scotland, and Ireland. Times. Extraordinary Feat. We last week noticed that one of the men employed on the Scottish Central Railway, near Forteviot, was possessed of such extraordinary strength as to be able to lift two rails, weighing 3J cwt. each, and carry them a distance of 40 yards.

Wo have this week to record a feat of a similar character, which, though not quite so hurculean, is still worth noticing. A respectable inkeeper near the head of the town had heard lately of a case, which was mentioned in this paper at the time, of a person who had wagered to carry 7 cwt, on his back, but failed. The innkeeper, felt surprised at the failure, and offered a bet that he would not only perform the feat, but would add cwt, to the 7, and carry the whole six yards. A bet was immediately made up, and it was decided on Thursday last. Three sacks of flour, roped together, weighing 7 with another 6ack containing a were presented to him.

He took them on his back, and not only carried tliein the stipulated distance, but turned a most difficult, if not dangerous, venture and replaced them on the spot from which he had lifted them. He accomplished the task without any apparent exertion, his step being perfectly steady and his balance well sustained. It was declared by tbose present to be a feat which few men in the county could be found equal to. Perth paper. Suicide ofJa Midshipman of the Dido.

Shf.erness, Thursday-. A very melancholy case of suicide has taken place here in the person of a young midshipman of the Dido, Mr. R. Greig, whose appointment to the Dido appeared in the Standard tiie other day. He joined, however, three weeks ago, but immediately asked for leave, which was granted to him, and from which he returned on Monday last.

He was therefore almost wholly unknown to the officers of the Dido all that was known of him was, that he was some time in the Samarang, in the East Indies. On Tuesday, he dined at a tavern in Blue Town, with one or two of his messmates, when he 6howcd no symptoms of a depression of spirits, one of whom accompanied him to the Royal Hotel, in Mile Town, where he slept that night; and on being called next morning, as he requested, answered "all right." As he did not make his appearance, however, he was called a second time, about nine o'clock, when he answered as before. On being called a third time, at noon, he made no answer. An alarm was raised, the door was broken open, and a melancholy spectacle presented itself. The voung man was found stretched and lifeless on the floor, with a pistol in his right hand, and his upper extremities saturated with blood.

He had shot himself through the bead, inserting the pistol in his mouth. No report, strange to say, had been heard. An inquest was held on view of the body to-day, when a verdict was returned That the deceased had shot himself while in a state of temporary insanity." Selby. Fatal Railway Accident. On Tuesday last, as the twenty minutes past three o'clock train from Hull was approaching the railway bridge at Selby, a fatal and melancholy accident occurred to one of the engineers, named Daniel Ledder.

This train being usually accompanied by two engines, it appears that it was customary for the deceased or his fireman to detach one of them within a short distance of the Selby Railway bridge, and it is supposed that in doing so deceased had slipped from the buffer, and got entangled with the wheels of the engine, as he was found jammed between one of the wheels and the fire box, in which situation it appears he must have been dragged for upwards of 250 yards before he was discovered. He was not missed or observed until within a few yards of the station the upper part of his head, brains, and teeth being found some distance on the line. An inquest was held on the same day at the house of Mr. Capes, the Jutty Tavern, by Matthew Pearson, and a respectable jury, when a verdict of Accidental death was returned. Ledder had beeu in the company's service ever since the opening of the Hull and Selby line, and is stated to have been a very skilful and attentive man, and it is to be hoped the company will favourably consider the case of his widow and three children.

Dancuster Chronicle. A Magic Cure by Holloway'3 Pills and Ointment: Jane Forsyth, residing in the Calton, Glasgow, had been a cripple from her youth with a contraction in the knee, occasioned by a fall, which produced fifteen abscesses in different parts of the leg and thigh it need scarcely be said that she bad bad the advice of medical men of the greatest eminence, but failed to afford the least relief, but she may now be seen walking about Glasgow, perfectly cured, the abscessses healed and the limb quite sound, and this after every other means had failed, by only using these wonderful medicines.

(Tuesday Evening.) The Brighton workhouse has this day been the scene of a most dreadful murder, committed on an infant six months old by its own mother, who afterwards cut her own throat, and died almost instantly. The infant survived till four o'clock this afternoon, when it expired. The name of the murderer was Norman, and she was about 30 years of age, and was the wife of a man named Norman, who is now in the House of Correction, undergoing a sentence for felony. The unfortunate woman had lately complained of pains in her head, and uui-iug me last wees naa weaned the mtant, and owing in nei- oeing poony 6Ue am not get up witn the otner women, one sent tor the child, which was brought to her, and immediately afterwards she committed the shocking act, running out of the room with her own throat cut.

She had previously requested that her other two children might be brought to her, but fortunately they were not in the way. The Bankrupt Law.
