HOXJHFIE . TH . —Tricks op thk " Pugce " . For some time back a correspondence has beeu earned on between the Chartists of HolmSrth and some of the members belonging to the Anti-Corn-Law Repeal Association of tha ; place respecting a discussion on the question of the repeal of the Corn Laws . The Chartists , after receiving three letters from their opponents , one of them signed by Mr . George Robinson , Secretary to the R- peal Association , and stating his willingness to meet Mr . David Boss , and -with him discuss the qneation at is > ue , ventured to publish a placard fixing the discussion to to take place in the Town Hall , Holmfirth , on Friday , the third instant , where Mr . Ross would attend te maintain , against his
opponentfirst—, That a Repeal of the Corn Laws , so far from improving the condition of the labouring poor , will only confer power upon that class of the community which has already , by the introduction of machinery , abridged the comtorts , and impoverished the condition of the labouring millions . Second , That the parties now seeking for suoh repeal of the corn laws , are not actuated by high and patriotic desireB and intentions towards all classes of the community ; but are rather seeking their own exclusive and especial advantage at the expense of the rest . The discussion being thns before the public , Mr . George Robinson , with a friend or two , met the Chartists on Monday the 1 st ins * ., at the Shoulder of Mutton Inn , Holmfirth , for the purpose of making
proper arrangements for proceeding with the same at the appointed time . It should be remembered that the Chartists had taken the Town Hall on their own respoBsibility in consequence of the Learners haviD / j previously refused to hare any thing to do with the expence . It appears they had now got it into their heads by some means or other , that there was not likely to be any loss attending the expence of the Hall , and they wished to go at one half the expence , and have 300 tickets , and the Chartists the same number . This appears fair enough if unaccompanied with any unfair condition ; but in the true spirit of the faction , their fair offer was rendered odious by the condition with which it was accompanied . The Chartists who had
been at all the toil and trouble of bringing the affair into its present state of forwardness wero to have 300 tickets as well as the Leaguers , and to have the benefit of all the surplus tickets , if any ; but should the Chartists have sold all their three hundred tickets before the Leaguers had sold theirs ; the Chartists were not to be allowed to sell any more , until all the tickets of their opponents had been disposed of . With these conditions , the Chartists refused to comply . The consequence was that no arrangement was agreed on for proceeding with the discussion . The next that was known of tne ittention of tha Leaguers was by placards being posted , stating that no one connected with the committee of the anti-Corn Law Association of Holmfirtb , had
had anything to do with the getting up of the discussion advertised by the Chartists to take place on the 5 : h inst ., in the Town Hall , and no one belonging to that party would attend to take part in the proceedings . They the ( Leaguers ) could' spend their time better ; this placard was > ijrned George Robinson , secretary to the Holmfinb Repeal Association . The Ckartists issued a counter placard stating that they had letters iti their possee-siou signed by Mr . G . Robinson himself ' , wnich would prove that the Leaguers had h&d someihing to do with the getting up of the discussion ; that Mr . Ross would be in the Town Hall it the time appointed ; that the letters of the Leaguers would be read at the meeting , and every working man was emphatically called upon
to be at his post . The meeting took place accordingly , and by eight o ' clock on the 5 ; h inst . the Hall was well filled with an anxious and expectant audience . Mr . William Cunningham was unanimously elected to the chair . Tho chairman , on opening the business of the meeting , entered into a somewoat lengthy detail respecting the correspondence that had taken place between the Leaguers and the Chartists , Afttr which , Mi . Binna read three letters which had been received from the party represeating the Leaguers . Mr . James Birdsell then came forward and made some statements , the intcmien of which appeared to be to vindicate his own party ( the Leaguers ) from the char < e of inconsistency , which he could not but Zed wouJd rest
upon them from the effect , thai the remarks of the Chairman , and the letters which had been read were calculated to have upon the minds of the people . But what he had to say teemed to have so little effect upon the meeting , that he was requested by Mr . Ross , and afterwards by one of his own party to sit down , with which request be at last compjied , and by doing so . gave great satisfaction to all parti , s . The Chairman then introduced Air . David Ross , who was received with the most rapturous applause . Mr . Ross commenced his address with a right good will , like ope who knew his work , and was willing to do it . His work was to give the death blow to fa / ition , and well he played his part . He smashed the hollow arguments of the Leaguers to shreds . He
stripped off the veil with which they hide their deformity from the public gaz- ? , and left their naked ugliness exposed to the scorn and indignation of an insulted and imiKtverished people . He contrasted the life of the agricultural labourer , and the factory slave , and by the most convincing argument proved that God and nature intended the land as the proper fidd for the labour of man . He taught the people that their interests were distinct from the interests of faction ; that their strength is in the combination of numbers and intellect . No report could do justice to his speech ; near upon two hours did he convince with his reasons and charm with his eloquence . The only interruptions he received were from the cheers of his delighted hearer 3 . He ha 3 won golden
opinions from the democrats of Helmhrth , and long may he live to enjoy them . When he sat down the hall echoed and re-echoed with thunders of applause . The applause having subsided he B&id it would give him pleasure to answer any question that might be asked him by any gentleman except those wno had denied thfir own placards . With such gentlemen he would hold no conversation , lest they should deny to-morrow what they had said to-day . —Mr . Abel Hineheliff who had been taking notes all the time , here stood up and said , as he had nothing to do . either with the letters which had been read or the placards , he hoped the Chairman would give him permission to ask Mr . Ross a few questions . He then began to read from his note book , prefacing
every separate not * with , Mr . Ross says . " But Abel is a man very slow of speech , and he imposed such a tax upon the patience of the meeting , that no assembly in the world could be found long to endure withont being liable to the charge of rebellion . Sometimes he would be a minute or two in making out ' a line of his notes . Then some on ? would cry good hDmouredly , " Now , Abel lad , spell it , get on . " If he happened to give utterance to a sentence , the cry was , " Well done , Abel lad , thou art giving it them now ; go on , lad ; thou does well . " Abel blushed not , he fl-rched not , but hammered away at kis own pace , which made some one cry out , "Thou art the best cast metal orator that evtr I saw in my
life . " This scene lasted half an hour ; and was to the meeting as a rich dessert to a feast . But as such things may . be enjoyed until they lose their relish , so it was with Abel ' s performance ;—the impatience of the meeting began to develops itself in symptoms too strong to be maintained ; and at the request of his fHeads , Abel sat down . —Mr . &eorge Robinson here came forward , and was allowed to retail a little of the League trash . Mr . Koss made a triumphant reply , and sat down amidst the most unbounded applause . A vote of thanks being given to Mr . Ross and one to the chairman , the meeting broke up , highly delighted and edified with the proceedings . Correspondent .
CABXISU 1—Lectures on Electricity , Galtamsm , Electbo-Magsetism asd Fneumatics . —In the course of las ; week , four lectures on the above subjects have been delivered by a Mr . William Ricnardson , of Bradford in Yorkshire , in the lecture room of the AtheEseum . The two first lectures embraced the subjects of Electricity , Galvanism , and Electro-Magnetism ; and the two latter the subject of Pneumatics . Tbe first lecture was not so numerously attended , in consequence , no doubt , of the extraordinary abilities of the lecturer , and bis perfect , beautiful , and extensive apparatus , being in a ? reat measure unknown ia Carlisle ; but Euca was the gratification and satisfaction felt by the auaience on the first evening , that the remaining
lectures were much more numerously attended . Wehave no space for noticing the great variety of subjects connected with the useful and interesting sciences , on which the lecturer treated ; but we cannot too much praise his style of lecturing , and his convincing and beautiful experiments in illustration and demonstration of the great and import ant truths which he uttered . The simplicity of langnage , and originality of thought which he displayed in his observations , rendered them at once agreeable and instructive ; and while he not unfrequently approached the subl'me and beautiful , his quaint and facetious manner of relating striking anecdotes bearing upon his subject , bad a happy
effect on the minds of his audience . It is not sufficient , we conceive , simply to give utterance to truths , however clear they may be to the philosophers ; but it is absolutely necessary to demonstrate those truths beyond the possibility of doubt , to the young and unthinking , so that a taste and desire may be created in their minds , for searching after useful knowledge . Mr . Richardson does this most effectually , for he never fails in a sinele experiment whieh he makes in illustration of his subject . ThiB is what renders abstruse studies agreeable to the y « ung mind , and gives it a relish for the study of those Bciesees which would otherwise appear dull and unprofitable .
" How charming is divine philosophy ; Kot harsh and crabbed as dull fools suppose , But musical , as is Apollo ' s lute . " The presence of such men as Mr . Richardson is especially called for in this age of false philosophy and mesmeric delusion , for it is highly important to tht well-being of society , that the minds of tbe

rising generation phoui'd be properly directed , so that they may not only see , and daJy appreciate ibe great truths of philosc ^ v . but be thu-i led " from Nature up to Nature ' s h ' ^ : " leaving far behind tho 3 e low and grovelling follies , which unhappily characterise the present agC-11 AU rature is bat art unknown to tbeO > All chance direction which thou canst not see ; AH discord , harmony not understood ; All partial evil , universal good ; Ia spite of pride in erring reason ' s spite ; One truth is clear , whatever is is right "
The immortal Pope wrote those beautiful troths , but it has been left for such men as our friend , Mr . Richardson , to demonstrate them , and to bring them home to men ' s business and bosoms . In the course of the first lecture , Mr . Richardson threw out a suggestion for the consideration of the owners of coal mines , where life was so frequently destroyed from the serious effects of fire damp . Nothing more would be required , he said , than a galvanic battery , placed at the top of the pit , and a communication kept up by a piece of apparatus like that exhibited , in which was secured » piece of platina , which being subjected to the action of the battery , would be heated to whiteness , and would at once detect the presence of fire-damp by exploding it . The means were so simple , that there could be no excuse for not having them put into operation every morning previous to the descent of the miners , whose lives were so often endangered by the want of this precaution .

Destructive Fire at Brighton . —The inhabitants of North-Btreet and the neighbourhood were alarmed on Sunday morning , soon atWr Saturday's midnight , by a cry of" fire , " and on proceeding in the direction indicated by the Ji ' sht , Mr . Broad ' s candJemanufactory in Spring-Gardens was found enveloped in flames . Au engine was soon on the spot , bu ' , some time elapsed before a supply of wat ** r could be obtained , and when at length it was procured , the engine was found to be uselsss . Two other engines were , therefore , sent for from Western-road and Upper St . JamesVstreet , and , in the meantime a large btock of candles , amounting to about S . OOO doz n , was removed from from the lower part of the premises into the sireet . Pjesently the other engines arrived , and their hos ? being added to that already on the fire-plug , a copiou 3 supply of water was
obtained , and in a quarter of an kourthefUmes were subdued to such an i xtent as to place tbe rest of the premises , and the adjjining houses , out of dauger . Neither the furniture nor the stock was insured . The house , which belongs to Mr . Turpen , has been injured to tbe extent of about £ 300 , and the total loss may perhaps be estimated a » £ l . C 00 . In the house at the time there was about , £ 30 in gold and silver , and the coins were melted by the heat sufficiently to cause the whole to unite in a mass , but they still bear more or less distinctly the impression of the die . About £ 40 worth of bills were also destroyed ; but with regard to these no loss will accrue , as the parties , there is no doubt , will renew their acceptances . A large quantity of the candles removed from the store during the progress of the fire , as well as furniture from the adjoining houses , was , we regret to say , carried off by the crowd .
Baron Gcrney . —In a memoir of the late Dr .

Muir , Palmer , acd Skirvmg , at the hulk 3 at Woolwich , and was instrumental in obtaining for them a small library before leaving this country for Botany Bay—martyrs
to opinions which are now recognized by the great majority of the people of this country , and which form the basis of many of our existing Jaw 9 and political institutions . " This incident of * ' the day 3 of his younger assurance" had no doubt escaped the learned Baron ' s recollection when he was lately trying the youth Jones for an offence somewhat similar to that Jor which his own early friends suffered more severe y , by a government which he would not now deem it becoming to btigmatiza as " tyrannical .

Lord Cardigan in Dublin . —The Mercantile Advertiser contains the following curious statement : — The ofiieers of the 4 th Dragoon Guards , stationed iu this city , with a view , as we learn from a correspondent , to take Lord Cardigan ( recently arrived in command of the 11 th iisssars ) out of the awkward position in which he is placed in general military Bociety , invited him to a dinner , it being arranged that several other guests were to dine at the mess on the same evening . At the appointed hour—seven o ' clock—a Bplendid banquet was prepared ; and , as his Lordship has the reputation of extreme punctuality , the company were in waiting at 7 sharp . But
Lord Cardigan was not there ; and , accordingly , the dinner was delayed in momentary expectation of his coming . However , time wore on . The eloek Btrack 8 , and the company , surprised at first , became impatient . 9 o ' clock arrived , and 10 was approaching , when , according to our informant , moob indignation was excited by the arrival of an wrderly dragoon , with a verbal message from the nofcle Earl , apologizing for its inability to dine at the B > esB , in consequence of the awkwardness of the stable regulation j .

Middle-Class Sympathy . — We take the following from a Jato number of the . Nottingham Review : — " A Pozbr . —The steward of a nobleman , in the centre of this county , recommended a redaction in the labourers' wages , to meet the income tax ; ' then , ' said tho nobleman , ' if wages are to come down , I must begin at the head first , aud that person is you ' The steward , it is almost needless to add , was instantly mute . The wages were not reduced , but the labourers owe no tbanka to the steward . ' We suspect there are few operatives in factories and manuf actories of all kinds who could not bear similar testimony to the readiness of the lickspittles of all grades-overlookers , foremen , &o . to sympathize wjth their'low wages and many privations .

Wokdebful Escape of a Miner . —On Saturday week three men went down an old pit at Pen-y-Ball , with a view to recommence the workings ; two of them came safe up : but as the third had put his foot into the bucket for the purpose of being wound up , the whole fell in and closed upon htm . This happened a little before noon . Men from all quarters flocked about the place to offer every assistanee . From tbe insecure state of the ground , operations could not be commenced until two o'clock . An awful silence prevailed , and the systematic management adopted was beyond all praise , —the men being
relieved every hour . About eight o ' clock at night they heard the poor fellow praying them speedily to release him , and about one o'clock on the morning of Sunday , he was heard praying most fervently to his Maker . His friends renewed their labours with redoubled energy , and , at half-past four in the morning , he was rescued from his living sepulchre , after being buried near seventeen hours . He was immediately conveyed home , without bodily injury , but nearly petrified by cold ; had he been left a little longer , he must have perished . Strong hopes are fen ' tertained of his ultimate recovery . —Carnarvon Herald .
Marriage of the Siamese Twins . —There are few of our readers in this city or in any of the principal towns in the country who have not seen th « famous united brothers , the Siamese twins . They have been residing for several year ? past in North Carolina , where they purchased a plantation . We had not heard of them for a long time , when we received a letter yesterday from a correspondent in North Carolina , informing us that they had entered into a state of double blessedness . Our correspondent says— "On Thursday , April 13 th , were married at Wilkes county , North Carolina , by Eider Colby Sparks , of the Baptist church , Messrs . Chang and Eng , the Siamese twin brothers , to Mtssos Sarah and Adelaide , daughters of Mr . David Yeates , of Wilks county , North Carolina . " Whethpr the happy quadruple started bn a journey to pass off the honeymoon , or remained at home , we are not informed . — American paper .
Another alarming Fire in Fobmby Street , Liverpool . —About one o ' clock on Saturday morning , the policeman on duty in the neighbourhood discovered a fire on the premises belonging , we believe , to Messrs . Ashton and Ginn , boatbuilders on the south sido of Formby-street , and adjoining the west wall of the fire-proof warehouses that were preserved from destruction by the great fire in Spptember last . The intelligence was conveyed with all possible speed to tho Fire-police atation , to Mr . Maxwell and other gentlemen whose presence was desirable ; and Mr . Hewitt , Mr . Quick , and other superintendents , with an adequate force of the Firepolice , fire-engines , and water-carts , were quickly on the spot . Several other gentlemen were also in
attendance , and rendered all possible assistance . The greatest activity was displayed by all parties , and the utmost exertions employed ; but from the start the fire had obtained , and from the nature of the premises , being the smithy , carpenters' shops , Jcc , surrounded by piles of dry planks , the fire had assumed an alarming appearance , and had nigh completed the destructiou of the premises wherein it originated before the engines could be got effectually into play . The windows and doors were burnt out , the interior apparently gutted , and a quantity of wood destroyed , before a sufficiency of water could be obtained . However , some hoses were passed through through ( he dock wall , and planted in the dock with great alacrity ; and in a few minutes <» fter the engines got into full play , its
fury was considerably abated . By two o ' clock there was no longer any fear that it would extend beyond the premises it had at first taken pobsession of , and which were now nearly demolis-hrd . The engines however , were kept vigorously at work for nearly an hour afterwards , and a little before three o'clock the fire was extinguished . It affords us much pleasure to notice auain the efficiency and zeal of our Firepolice establishment , under the direction of Mr . Hewitt , the superintendent of tho establishment , assisted by Mr . Dowlinj { , Commis'sionerof ' the Police in the absence of Mr . Whitty , who ia at present on business in London . Had there been a supply of water in the mains , they would have put the fire out in a few minutes . Tne premises , we understand , are insured .
The New Governor-General ov Canada . —Sir Charles Metcalfe , the new Governor-General of Canada , has arrived at Kingston , the seat of Government . The Chronicle of that place contains a long account of his reception , which was in a high degree flattering . The corporation of Kingston , with the Vice-Mayor ( the Mayor having accompanied Sir Charles from England ) , crossed over to Watertown to meet him . and on his landing an address was presented . His Excellency crossed on the ice from Long Island , and on arriving at the wharf in Kingston , entered a beautiful four-horse sleigh that had been provided , and passed through a double line of soldiers , escorted by numerous societies , &c , to the house prepared for his reception . The following is from the
Chronicle . — "Sir C Metcalfe on his arrival was instantly waited upon by Capcain Bagofc , and Sir C . Bagot ' s sleigh was placed at the disposal of the new Governor-General . Sir C . Metcalfe stood at the window of his drawing-room and bowed to the different companies who came up in procession , and after giving his Excellency three cheers each , turned and retired . At 4 p . m . his Excellency went to Alwingtonhouse to visit Sir Charles Bagot . On the following day , Thursday , the 30 ih ultimo , his Excellency met the Executive Council and the Judges at Alwingtonhouse , and in presence of the naval and military authorities and headB of departments , was sworn into office , after having the Royal commissions appointing him Governor-General , &c , opened and read . It was , we have understood , the anxious wish of Sir Charles Baget to be present at this ceremony , and to transfer to his successor the great seal with
his own hands . The Executive Council were also sworn in . Much of the display usual upon such occasions was dispensed with out of deference to Sir Charles B 3 # ot , in his state of health , which would not admit of his presence at the installation of his successor . His Excellenoy was not permitted by his medical attendant to leave his bed . At a later hour , the whole of the members of the Executive Council had an interview with Sir Charles Bagot , in compliance with his special desire , at which Sir Charles took an impressive and affeotionate leave of his late advisers . The scene at the moment was calculated to affect all minds , and we have been assured that all present were deeply moved . The issue of bulletins of his Excellency Sir Charles Bagoi ' s health has been discontinued , but the accounts state that his Excellensy is in some degree better . "— Canadian Paper .
Alarming Accident . —On Tuesday last , the town crier here announced that a public meeting would then take place , and that Mrs . Fryer would deliver a lecture on the principles of total abstinence from spirituous liquors . The place selected for the meeting wa 3 a large attic loft , built about fifty years since for the purpose of drying serges , Bituate at the back premises of Mr . John Eales , draper , Eaststreet . At eight o ' clock it is supposed there were about 4100 persons assembled to hear the lecture , consisting of men , women , and children ; and while a gentleman from Torquay was delivering an introductory address , and expatiating on his own inability of imparting powerful impression on the subject to the audience—he emphatically told them
( there being a slight confusion amongss the party in the meeting at the time , and the chairman repeatedly calling order ) that there was a giant just behind ( meaning , it is presumed , Mrs . Fryer ) , who would speedily step forward and quell all' interruptionwhen in a moment , as if by magic , a large portion of the flooring suddenly gave way , precipitating a great part of the audience to the middle floor , which contained several hundreds of bushels of oats , and fortunately prevented the breaking of many necks , a 3 numbers of persons came down head foremost on the grain ; and their additional weight coming so rapidly on this floor , caused it also to give way , and a great amny persons were literally buried in oats and rubbish on the
ground floor , having fallen from three stories high . The ehrciks of the females , the cries of the childres , and the groans of the maimed and wounded , were at this time truly heart-rending . Tbe pressure of the falling beams , and the number of parsons , burst out a window about ten feet in length on the ground floor , which formed an egress for those who were able to get out , and admitted maay who came to the rescue of those who were injured . Fortunately , no lives have been lost , and the " hair-breadth ' scapes " which many experienced rendar their preservation truly miraculous . After the accident the ground floor was literally etrewed with hats , caps , bonnets , shoes , and a Tariety of other artioles of dress , mostly
belonging to females . Many persons were obliged to be carried to their homes , and are now Buffering from wouads , bruises , &o . As maay were sitting on forms and chairs when the accident occurred , they fell backwards , and some went through the opening and performed complete summersets before they reached terra firma . Singular to relate , that portion of the attio floor appropriated for the station of the lecturer , chairman , &c , did not give way , and they remained affrighted spectators of the awful cataatrophe , which afforded them a striking picture or an earthquake in miniature . It is hoped this circumstance will be a caution in future against parties selecting feeble fabrics for the assembling of large andienoea . — Western Times ,

ANXtETY . —Anxiety usually produces a misanthropic selfishness , in which we wrap ourselves as in a mantle : thus we become dark , gloomy , and repulsive ; and the amiable self-rsepect that in our better days sustains and keeps us far above the reach of sordid thoughts and actions , becomes in the darker hour of our destiny the source of heavy afflictions : henco result an unhealthy action of the Stomach , Liver , and other Viscera , causing Indigestion , and its well known consequences . For the correction of these distressing complaints , FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH affords a simple and effective remedy .

The Unknown Tongue . —A facetious gentleman

Take care of the Vidders . —Quite a mistake lately took place in a love affair at the north . A couple of young fools agreed to elope together , and by some mistake in the preliminary arrangements , the male lover put his ladder to the window next to that in which her anxious mamma , a handsome widow , reposed . She turned the mistake to her own advantage , got into his arms , returned his affectionate embraces , was borne by him to the carriage , and by preserving a becoming silence until day-light , kept him blind to his error , and then , by the potent power of her blandishments , actually charmed him into matrimony with herself . —New York paper .
Payment op Members an Old Usage . —Thrifty boroughs and economical corporations appear to have been in the habit of driving hard bargains with their would-be members . There has been preserved a curious indenture of agreement between John Strange , member for Dunwwh , and his constituents , so far back as a d . 14 b 3 , by which it is witnessed that " John Strange granteth by these presents to be one of the burgesses for Dunwich , at the parliament to be holden at Westminster , for which , whether it hold for longer time or short , or whether it fortune to be prorogued , tho said John Strange granteth no more to be taken for his wages than a cade full of herrings , and a half barrell full of herrings , to be delivered on Christmas next coming . " Still better terms
were insisted on , with the progress of refinement , by the cunning corporation of Westbury . " One ThomavLong , a very simple man , and unfit to serve , had crept into Queen Elizabeth's parliament of 1571 . When questioned how he came to be elected , he confessed ' that he gave the mayor of Westbury and another £ 4 for his place . '" The house was greatly shocked , in those primitive days , at the notion of their member paying , instead of being paid , for a seat ; and immediately ordered the mayor and town council to disgorge the money , to appear to answer such things as should be objected against them , and tosuffera penalty of £ 20 for their scandalous attempt . In the reign of Edward II . and long afterwards , the wages of a knight of the shire was four shillings a
day , and of a burgess two shillings . To this was added a charge fur going and returning , which appeared the most reasonable , when parliaments were held capriciously at Windsor , Carlisle , or York . The smaller boroughs and poorer couaties grumbled loudly at these burdens , and often would fain have renounced the honours of representation to keep their shillings in their purses . Upon the more opulent eon . stituencies various statutes ( one of the 32 th Henry VIII . ) confirmed this imposition . The members of the Rump received four pounds a week each . The custom continued after the restoration ; but , in 1617 , Sir Harbottle Grimston brought in a bill to repeal
the statute of wages ; there was a strong opposition to it , but it obtained a second reading in a singular manner . Andrew Marvel was tho last who exdeted the provisions of the statute ; for he preferred honest poverty to a courtier ' s corrupt wealth , and the cold meat of yesterday to luxurious viands at the expense of his country ' s freedom . The patriot who spurned Dan by ' s bribe of a note for £ 1 , 000 , when that corrupt minister scaled his garrat , might well demand bis shillings from the constituents to whoBe interests he devoted his time , and whose public interests he would not sell or barter . —A thenesum Review ofTownsend ' s History of the House of Commons .
Terrible Affair . —The Mobile Herald , of the 4 th ult ., says— " Captain Post , of the schooner Augusta , from Havannah , has communicated to us the following particulars of an affair which happened before he left : —On the night of the 21 st ul \ , the cars of the Havannah railroad , when distant about 6 ' 0 miles from the city , were attacked by a party of brigands , numbering about 150 to 200 men , who robbed the passengers ( numbering some 75 ) of their money , watches , and other valuables , wounding those who reflisted , and outraging the females . They effected the robbery by piling across the rails the
a quantity of rocks and trees , which , upsetting cars , threw the passengers out in a state of confusion , and prevented their making a timely resistance . After acting as we have stated , the villains escaped , the passengers , making their way back to the oity , spread the alarm . 500 soldiers were dispatched to the place where the robbery had been committed , and after marching round some days , discovered the retreat of the villains ; an engage * ment took place on both sides , and a score of the banditti were taken prisoners and carried to the city , bound hand aud foot .

Murdbk . —A man named William Lawson , a farmer , and lessee of tbe Dean and Chapter of Durham , living at Longshield , on Muggleswickcoamon , was barbarously murdered on Sunday morniag last . It appears , that the deceased , an unmarried man , had allowed his house-keeper to leave the house on the Saturday night , to visit her friends . His house is in a lonely part of the country . On the Sunday moraing he had apparently gone to milk the cow , whea it appears that some villain had approached him from behind , and with a stick inflicted very serious injuries on his head . On coaeciousness in some measure returning he had crawled about 400 . yards from the byre on the common , where he was found between four aad five o ' clock on Monday morniDg in a state of insensibility . lathis state be lingered—being all the time unabte to speak—uatil ired abaat twelve olek

The brother of the unfortunate deceased has been taken into custody and examined before the » &jpstrates at Stotley-bridge on suspicion of being the murderer , and ha was yesterday remanded for further examination . The oiroumBtanoes of suspicion against him we understand are , that he had been heard ta threaten his brother in consequence of some dispute about the property ; that a person similarly dressed to the prisoner hid boon seen in the neighboutdood by a shepherd , but at snoh a distance aa not to allow him to be recognised ; and that on being asked what time he left the house on the Sunday morning , contradictory stories were given by the prisoner and his wife—the latter stating , that he left at six and returning at eight o ' clook ; whilst the prisoner himself stated , that be did not leave the house till nine and returned at tv ? ch « o ' olock . —Durham Advertiser .

Ho has made several experiments as to the fuel of the districts through which the road will pass , and has found that which the Germans call brown coal , but which is probably a kiud of peat in an advanced stage , may be used for the locomotives with as good effect as regular black coal . He has also tested at Glocknitz a new process forfthei manufacture of iron by M . de Kestorff , aa Aulic Councillor .

Monument to Old Parr . —We hear that preliminary steps have been taken to erect & monument to tho memory of Old Parr . It will be placed in a commanding situation near Shrewsbury on the summit of the far-famed Wrekin , and thus overlook the birth-place of this remarkable man . The subscribers , who are very numerous , consist of those who have reaped benefit to their health through the tSleacy of Parr's Life Pills ; they have determined on adopting the design offered by Mr . Carver : viz .
a base seven leet square placed on a plinth of twelve feet square ; three sides of the base will be sculptured in relief , and will present allegorical designs , representing , in various aspects , the joy and comfort which succeeds a restoration from disease and pain . The remaining square will be devoted to a brief eulogy on his merits , date of his birth , death , k . o . This will be surmounted by a full-sized statue of Parr , supported by emblematical figures of strength and health in the act of placing a chaplet of evergreen on the old Patriarch ' s brows .
Winter Gaol Delivery . —We believe we are correct in asserting that there is every probability that for the future a general gaol delivery will take place throughout England early in the winter .

Liverpool Cork Market , Monday , May 15 . — During the past week the arrivals of Oatmeal to this port have been moderate , and those of other articles of the Corn trade very small . We have not experienced any active demand for Wheat , but holders have shown more firmness , and on a moderate business have obtained an advance of Id to 2 d per bushel on the prices quoted at the close of last week . The importers of the fresh Danzig have held for Is 2 d to Is 3 d per 711 bs ; these prices , however , have beeu paid only for retail parcels ; the general runs of Mediteranean , in which the transactions
have occurred , have' sold at 6 s 2 d to 6 s 6 d ; best Irish red at 63 6 d to 6 s 9 d per 701 bs . Fiour , both foreign and home manufacture , has met rather a better sale . Oats have become scarce , and though few have been wanted , we have to quote them Id per 45 ! bs dearer ; best mealing samples have brought 23 3 d . Oatmeal has been more inquired for , but no change can be noted as to its value ; a parcel or two of good quality changed hands on Friday on speculation at 19 s 3 d per 240 ibs .

Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Mat 13 . —A steady demand throughout the week has enabled factors to effect ready sales on arrival of the varions qualities of English manufactured Flour ; but the inquiry has- run cniefly on the low and middling descriptions , for which a slight improvement in price has been realized ; all descriptions , however , fully supporting the previous currency . For
Oats and Oatmeal there has appeared rather more confidence in prises , and a fair extent of business was done in those articles at full rates . Tha arrivals , via Liverpool and Runcorn , are unimportant , 5589 loads of Oatmeal forming the chief article . No change in the value of Wheat can be noted , and the transactions reported at our market this morning : were on a most limited scale . In the sales made of Flour the improvement already named was firmly maintained , and on some descriptions we advance quotations 6 d to Is per sack . Choice heavy . Oftts are scarce and command full prices , and for Oatmeal rather higher rates are demanded : some of extra suitable cut realized 21 s per load .
