SWANSEA FARMERS' CLUB. A Monthly Meeting: of the above Society was held at the Victoria-rooms, in this town, on Saturday last. The chair was occupied hy J. D. Llewelyn, Esq. Amongst those present, we observed, J. D. Beniiigton, N. V. E. Vaughan., H. Lucas, T. Edw. Thomas, R. A. Mansel, R. Frankien, F. Frt'diicks, and M. Moggiidge, Esqrs., Messrs. White, Gross, and a limited number of farmers.—The at- tendance was not so full as at the former meetings of this Club. 1> The Chairman read a list of persons proposed as members of the Society at the last meeting, which was handed in by the Secretary. They were unanimously elected. The Chairman then read a most inte esting paper on Draining, which was most attentively listened to, and reo ceived with the most cordial marks of approbation from the members present. Mr. N. V. E. Vaughan then read a paper upon the same subject, which had been communicated in a letter, addressed to him, by a gentleman in Yorkshire, who had drained about eight thousand acres of land. The paper, which was a very lengthened one, detailed the best methods of draining adopted in Yorkshire, giving all Particulars relative to the dimensions of various kinds of drains, expense of materials, price of labour, and all the information necessary to be acquired before draining with success, The writer urged the necessity of its extensive adoption, as the first step towards improvement in the cultivation of the soil. The Chairman spoke in very high terms of the paper read by Mr. Vaughan, which was the more valuable, having been wiitten by a practical agriculturist, residing in a part of the country where the soil was in a high state of cultivation. Mr. Vaughan also read some very useful suggestions upon the same subject, written by a relative of his. Mr. V. recommended any gentleman who intended draining on a large scale, to employ an experienced drainer from York- shire, who would be able to introduce the improved methods adopted in that part of the country. Mr. Fredricks expressed his satisfaction that the Society gave that prominence to the subject of draining which it deserved. It was a matter greatly neglected in this part of the country. If any gentleman would walk over any of his farms in this neighbourhood, he would scarcely find a ditch open, much less a regularly-constructed drain. It was by 110 means uncommon, to see horses up to their knees in the soil when ploughing land which required draining. Mr. T. Edw. Thomas recommended to the pernsal of the gentlemen present, and all others interested in the cultiva- tion of land, a little pamphlet on draining, lately published by Mr. Smith, of Deanston, the price of which was only 6d. It could not, in his opinion, be too widely circulated among farmers. The Secretary then read another paper, upon the same subject, written by Mr. Dodds, late of Parklebruce, con- taining very useful hints relative to draining land, and which were highly appreciated by the meeting, as coming from a gentleman who had devoted much time and attention to agriculture. A letter was read from Evan David, Esq., President of the Cardiff Farmers'Society, which was accompanied with a copy of the annual report of that Society.—A vote of thanks to that gentleman was, on the motion of Mr. T. Edw. Thomas, seconded by Mr. F. Fredrick*, unanimously agreed to. Mr. Moggridge wished to know if the subject of planting trees could be introduced for discussion in the Society, as he intended, at some future period, proposing "the plantiug of larch" as a subject to he discussed. He would like to ascertain how far it was desirable to vary successive crops of plants, similar to those of corn. No farmer would sow two successive crops of wheat, or any other grain; and he (Mr. M.) would like to know how far a change of plants would be expedient. The Secretary stated, that the No. on Planting, published by the Useful Knowledge Society, fully treated on the sub. ject alluded to by Mr. Moggridge. Mr. Berrington, referring to what had been said by Mr. Moggridge, observed, that it was rather remarkable that the largest and most luxuriant crops of clover produced, were those growing over land utter larches had been cut. Mr Gross, as a member of the Society, wished to ask the gentlemen composing the meeting, whether the expense of draining should be defrayed by the landlord or by the tenant? One gentleman had spoken of instances in which horses were np to their knees in the soil while ploughing perhaps that, in those instances, the farmers were so very poor as to be totally nnable to layout a penny in draining. The Chairman said, that he could have no hesitation in answering Mr. Gross's question, by saying, that the expense of draining should fall upon the landlord. A Farmer, after apologising to the meeting for speaking English but very imperfectly, observed, that Mr. Dodds, in his paper, made reference to the very backward state of agriculture, and the great necessity for draining which ex- isted in the parish of Llangafelacb. The fact was, and it could not be concealed, that farmers were now too poor to expend any money in the cultivation of the soil. Mr. Dodds was a neighbour of his, and was a very excellent "fancy farmer;" but if his expenses were known-It his debtor and creditor account were seen, they would astonish any man. It would not remunerate a poor man, like himself, to incnr such expenses in cultivation. As several of the principal landlords in the neighbourhood were present, he would take the liberty of telling them, that, unless landlords would take the most prominent part—unless they would take the lead in draining, the country would never be drained. • The Chairman again stated, that he perfectly concurred in the justice of the remarks made, and that the obligation of dcaining rested with landlords. Mr. Berrington said, that, in many parts of England, it was a practice for landlords to drain, and charge tenants at the rate offonr per cent. for the money so expended. Mr. Franklen asked if the meeting did not go beyond the bounds of their legitimate province, in discussing a subject which was clearly a matter of bargain between one man and the other. He thought it rather a delicate subject to introduce into their meetings. The Chairman replied, that differences of opinion might exist relative to the party whose duty it was to drain, but lie was happy to find that all were unanimous in the opinion, that draining was of the greatest importance, and must be attended to Mr. White stated, that he had known frequent instances in which landlords supplied all the materials required in draining, and the farmers the labour. The meeting then entered into a general conversation; and it was subsequently proposed by Mr. Berrington, and agreed to, that "the single, and to this part of the country most important, subject of draining, stands again for discus- sion at the next meeting."—The members then separated.

UNITED ANCIENT ORDER OF DRUIDS. The Biennial Delegated Meeting of this old-esta- tabliflhed and flourishing society, was held at the Royal Oak Inn, Kirkgate, Bradford, Yorksnire, on Tuesday, the 20th ult., and four following days. Delegates were present from a great many Lodges held in the connty, and from others in Middlesex, Lancashire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Notting- hamshire, &c., as also the officers of the Board of Direction from London, namely; P. A. Burke, President; P. A. Flowers, Vice.President; P. A. Scotten, Treasurer; and P. A. Elliott, Secretary. The accounts were minutely examined, by auditors nominated by the delegates, and found to be in a satisfactory state. The following report was presented by them The auditors appointed by this Meeting, after a due and care- ful examination of the accounts of the Board of Directors, have much pleasure in stating that they have found the Mime to be correct, and kept in an efficient aod satisfactory manner. (Signed) JOHN DOUTHWAITE. CHARLES HOWARTH. JOSEPH WoRMALH." The business transacted was of paramount importance to the welfare of the society, but strictly of a prifate nature it consisted in the alteration of some of the laws by which it is governed, and the adjustment of disputed questions that bad arisen between Lodges and their Members, and between one Lodge and another. It is gratifying to state that the decisions of the Delegates have in numerous instances been productive of much benefit, and the means of preserving that high character the Order has so long maintained. Members who had been nnjustly excluded from their Lodges have been reinstated without producing that irritatijn of ieeling attendant upon the restoration of Members by order of magistrates, under the Act of Parliament for the enrol- ment of benefit societies. The Lodges, if they think proper, can avail themsehes of the privilege of being enrolled, without in any way interfering with the efficient manner in which they are now conducted several have already done so, and others have it in contemplation. The general business of the Meeting was brought to a close on Saturday the officers of the Board of Direction were unanimously re-elected, and the thanks of the Delegates were voted to them. It was considered necessary, in consequence of the extension of the Order, and the increase of business devolving upon the Secretary, to advance his salary. Forty Lodgex have been added since the Delegated Meeting held at Derby in 1841, and there is every prospect of a much greater accession before the next assembly, which is appointed to be held at the Durham Ox, Pelhain-street, Nottingham, in June, 1845. The Order had its origin in 1781; but it was not till the year 1833 that it was designated bv the name of the "United Ancient Order ot Druids," at which time a Delegated Meeting was held in London, and a general system of affording relief to sick and distressed members was established. The following are the objects of the so- ciety, as set forth in the introductory book presented to each member on his initiation- The recognised objects and influencing principles of the United Ancient Order of Druids, are-the diffusion of social and intellectual iotncoorse among all its Members, aDd theettahiish- ment of a system of general Philanthropy and Benevolence, b» providing for the sick and distressed, and tbe interment of its deceased Members, throughout tbe United Order. The United Ancient Order of Druids recognise no Lodge or Lodges, but such as shall conform and agree to establish, or have already established a Fund, to he named the Relief Fund, for the purpose of supporting their Members during Sickness; a!so for toe Relief of the Distressed, and for the Burial of the Dead."

NEW USES OF IRON-SHIP BUILDING. Among the new employments found for iron must be mentioned ship-building. Iron was first nsed about the year 1810 for the construction of vessels employed in canal and river navigation. After this, the next employment of this material occurred in 1820, when a steain-vessel, called the Aaron Manby, was constructed at the Horslev Iron- Works, and made the voyage between the capitals of England and France without unlading any part of her cargo; this vessel is still in good condition, although twenty-two years old, never having required any repairs to her hull. In 1825, a small iron steam-boat was placed on the river Shannon, where she is now employed, in good condition. In 1832, the FAburkah, all iron steam-vessel, built by Messrs. Macgregor. Laird, and Co., in Liverpool, made the voyage from that port to the coast of Af.ica, and twice ascended the liver Niger. Tliis successful experiment led to the construction of many other iron steatn.,e,-Pl, One builder, Ilr. Ioliii Laird, of Birkenhead, near Liverpool, has built forty-five iron vessels, of the aggregate burthen of 12.600 tons. The total number launched since 1830 is said to exceed 150. The largest iron vessel yet finished, and in use, is the Guadeloupe, a ste.iiii-/Viir,,u>. of 78S tons, carrying sixtv-eigbt pounders, and belonging to the Mexican Government but her dimensions are insignificant when compared with those of the Great Britain, now building, and nearly finished, at Bristol. Titeletigillof this vessel, from her fignre head to the feet. lie ure.nun 01 oeam ftl The depth of lier hold 31 Her (It aii!11 01 water, when loaded, is calculated to be IU and Iter burden ,5500 tons. The engines will have a force equal to that of 1000 horses, and will be used to keep in action, as the means of propulsion, an Archimedian screw. The draught <>f water will be seen not to exceed that of a first- class West Indiajnan. At present, this vessel can onlv be considered as an experiment; and, should it fail, an abun- dance of ridicule, will, no doubt, be cast upon the projectors by men whose genius would hardlv have sufficed for the invention ot a wherry. A great part of the steam navy of the East India Company consists of iron vessels, f\venty-five of which are now in use in India, among which are the Nemesis, the Phlegethon, the Ariadne, and the Iledusa- names well known to the Biitish public, fiom the con- spicuous part which the vessels have performed in the war with China. The advantages of iton over timber for naval architecture are—the absence of "wearandtear" in the hull, no ne- cessity for caulking or coppering, no possibility of injury from dry tot, greater lightness and increased capacity; and, what is of even far more importance, greater safety. This last point has sometimes been questioned but not by any one having knowledge on the subject. When a timber- built ship takes the ground with any violent shock, the whole framework of the vessel is strained, and, in a measure dislocated-so that, by the mere bnffeting of the Wnves, she "ill, io all probability, soon be made a complete wreck but, when an iron-built vessel strikes, however violent the blow, it is only the part that is bi-otirrlit into collision with the rocks that will be injured. The plan of building these ships in water-tight compartments, then, proves its efficacy; for, should the injury amount even to the teating away of plates, the resulting mischief will only be to fill with water that pn titular Contpaltment of the vessel to which the injury has occurred, so that the ship will he scarcely less buoyant than before and experience has shown that damage of this kilHI is easily repaired. The first cost of iion vessels is somewhat, but not much, less than that of timber-built vessels; their comparative cheapness results from their greater durability after years of constant employment, they are found to be as sound and as clean as when first built. Their weight, upon which depends the displacement of water, is, as a general rule, three-fifths the weight of wooden vessels of the same capacity. The weight of metal used in proportion to the burden of the ship, varies, of course, witli the size. A sea-going iron steam-vessel will take from 9 to 12 cwt. of iron per ton register. Boats intended for river traffic, which do not require an equal degree of strength, of course take a less weight of metal. The build- ing of iron ships is fast becoming an important branch of national industry it is one in which our mineral riches and our great mechanical skill will secure to us a virtual monopoly.- Porter's Progress of the Nation, Vol. III., section v' "Consumption."

°- IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. FRIDAY, JULY 7—Their Lordships assembled at five o clock; when the Canada Wheat and Salmon Fisheries Bills were read the third time and passed. The Bishop of Salisbury presented a petition from the Archdeaconry of New Sarnm, praying for the establishment of a Bishopric in Manchester. The Archbishop of Dublin presented a petition from cer- tain persons connected with New Zealand against the intro- duction into that colony, on the part of the Government, of individuals who had been transported for felony-Lord Wharncliffe said the only convicts sent thither were boys, and they had given great satisfaction in the settlement. Lord Brougham moved the second reading of a bill for the more effectual prevention of the Traffic in Slaves. The I Noble Lord stated the provisions of the bill, the object of which was to render it penal for a British subject to hold I any prope; ty in slaves in foreign countiies, unless they came into his possession by heirship, or in some other manner having no reference to any voluntary act of his own. There were provisions to prevent the bill from failing on those who might innocently become the possessors of slaves.—Al ter a few remarks from Lord Ashburton, the bill was read a second time. The Limitation of Actions (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee, and the third reading was fixed for Monday. a The Apprehension of Offenders Bill was read the third time and passed.—Their Lordships adjourned at nine o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 5.—The Speaker took the chair at the usual hour, when a number of petitions on various subjects were presented, and several private bills were ad- vanced a stage. On the motion of Dr. Bowring, retnrns were ordered of the names, salaries, and residence of the several function- aries under the East India Company in foreign count, ies east of the Isthmus of Suez; distinguishing those exercising consular functions from those acting merely as residents or agents. Sir G. Grey postponed the Charitable Trusts Bill until next session. The Right Hon. Baronet wished to know however if the Government intended to bring forward some measure on the subject ?--S'!r J. Graham, in leply, said, the subject of Charitable Trusts had been fully considered by the Government, and he hoped to be able to lay a bill on the table relating to them in a few days BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.—Mr. T. S. Duncombe com- plained of a breach of privilege contained in the Standard of last Saturday. The leading article in that paper, in com- menting on Friday night's debate on the last Nottingham election, asserted that Mr. Duncombe had confessed himself in the course of that discussion, to have been, in conjunction with Mr. Gisborne, a suborner of perjury. This libel was so unfounded and so malignant in its character, that he felt it necessary to move that the printer should be called to the bar of the House.—Mr. Gisborne seconded the motion. Sir R. Peel entirely acquitted Mr. Duncombe of having said anything on Friday night which could justify such an assertion; but It was possible that the writer of the article had confused what Mr. Duncombe had said on Friday night with the ample confessions which he had made on a former evening. The libel was most unjustifiable; bnt with re- spect to the motion for calling the printer to the bar, be would recommend the Hon. Member to rest satisfied with what had taken place. If he (Sir R. Peel) were thns to notice similar attacks upon himself, there was not a day upon which lie would not have to make such motions as that of the Hon. Memoer.—Mr. Aglionby urged the Hon. Member to proceed with the inquiry.—Lord J. Russell said that the libel was a false and malicious one but he thought the Hon. Member had already attained his object without calling the printer to the bar—Mr. T. Duncombe considered that Sir R. Peel's speech was almost a justification of the libel, and he therefore felt compelled to persevere with his motion.— Sir R Peel was surprised that what he had said should have been so much misinterpreted. He thought the Honourable Member entitled to his motion, for there was no ground for the assertion contained in the paper; but he still thought it would be more advisable if the Hon. Member would act as he (Sir R. Peel) would do under similar circumstances—rest satisfied with what had just taken place.— Mr. Aglionby considered that Sir R. Peel's explanation was much more satisfactory thon his previous remarks.— Mr. T. S. Dun- combe said, as the Right Hon. Baronet had stated that he considered there was no justification for the libel, he would witlid aw his motion at the same time he must observe, as a Member of that House, he should not have been justified if he had not called attention to the subject.—The motion was accordingly withdrawn. On the motion of Sir R. Peel, it was agreed that the House, at its lising, should be adjourned until Friday. COKONERS' HILL.-Lord Worsley moved that the House should resolve into Committee on the Coroners' Bill.— Mr. Packington moved .an amendment, that the bill should be committed that day six months.—After a short discussion a division took place, and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 134 to 41.—The House then resolved into Committee, and the variousclauses were discussed. flte first discussions were upon the amounts of the fees and allowances to Coroners, Mr. Wakley struggling for all increased, and Mr. Hume for a more limited payment than that proposed by the clause. Another contest arose upon the question whether the coroner should be allowed to appoint a deputy and if so, whether the deputy should be allowed the full fee of the principal. The clause was nttimatety agreed to.—Oil the motion of Mr. Hume seconded by Mr. M. Gibson, the schedules were postponed, and the further discussion of the bill adjourned to Wednesday next, Sir R. Peel having previously expressed his willingness to give the adjourned debate on the Redress of Grievances (Ireland) precedence to the debate on the Arms Bill on Fiiday next. COMMONS' INCLOSURE.— Lord TVorsley (lien moved that the Commons' Inclosure Bill should be referred to a Select Committee; on which Mr. Brotherton moved the adjourn- ment of the debate.—After a short discussion the amendment was negatived by a majority of 37 to 12.—Mr. H. Berkeley again moved the adjournment of the House, which motion was again negatived by a majority of 35 to 11.—Mr. C. Berkeley then moved the adjournment of the debate, which, after some discussion, was agreed to and the debate was accordingly adjourned unfit Monday next. The other orders of the day were then agreed to, and the House was adjourned shortly before two o'clock. FRIDAY, JULY 7—The Townshend Peerage Bill was read the thirll time and passed. To a question from Mr. Wyse, asking why two Magistrates only out of nine who attended a repeal dinner in the county of Clare had been dismissed, Sir J. Graham replied, that these two had attended a repeal meeting as well as a repeal dinner. In all cases of this nature, the question whether or not the Magistrate should be superseded was decided in reference to all the attending ciicumstances by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, on the responsibility of the Govern- ment. i The Attorney General, to a question from Mr. Christie, said he hoped to proceed with the Law of Evidence Bill daring this session. In reply to Sir R. Fergusson, who asked when the Irish Poor Law and the Irish Corporation Amendment Bills would be proceeded with, Sir R. Peel answered that the Govern- ment knew no power they had to expedite public business, or to prevent the suspension of legislation that was nightly persevered in, and that, therefore, he could not fix a time certain for those or any other hills, Sir J. Graham, in reply to Sir G. Gi ev, repeated that he was determined to press both the Ecclesiastical Courts and the Cotlnv Courts Bills this session. STATE OF IRELAND.—The adjourned debate on Mr. S. O'Brien's moiion with regard to the state of Ireland, was resumed by Mi-. Cochrane, who replied seriatim to many of the arguments of the Hon. Mover, and contended that no sufficient cause of complaint for alleged injuries arising out of the Union had been shewn to warrant the House in agreeing to the motion.—A lengthened discussion ensued, in the course of which many Hon. Members addressed the House in favour of and against the motion. — Mr. Macaulay said, that all the e\i\s they had to contend with arose since the accession of the present Government, and that Govern- ment had not met them by such measures of reason and (Hid justice as were demanded. He contrasted the state of Ireland under the Marquis of Normanby with its (-.resent condition, and said that the latter was to be attributed to the tact that the party of the Right Hon. Baronet comprised every one who had rendered himself odious to the people oO Ireland. By their course, while in opposition, they bad ge- ■ iterated deep disgust towards themselves in the minds of the people of Ireland, and for his own part he was onlv stir- piised that this feeling had not displayed itself mnch sooner than it had done after the Ri<»ht Hon. Baronet had become Head ot the Government. Still for tverv shame the present Ministry had governed Ireland as well as they had it in their power to do, tramelfed as they were by their support- ers. It was admitted by all parties that a great crisis had arisen in Ireland, and no one would pretend to say that that matters could remain as they were. One of two courses must be taken. The Government, must conciliate, or it must pnt on a bold front and put down the agitation. The Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department (Sir J. Graham) must be considered as the Minister for Ireland, and he had already declared that conciliation conlll go no further, from which it was to be in/erred, that when the Government thought proper to abandon its present inactivity, it would do so on the side of severity. He must say that he differed in opinion as to the fact that concession had been tried to the utmost. He thonght there was still a wide ifeld for con- cession, but that concession should not go to the length of granting the repeal of the Union, which would be equivalent to a war between the two count) ies. He should by his vote that night declare, that the discontent of the people of Ire- land, though partly the result of the unjustifiable, arts of de- magogues,was still inflamed by grievances which there was no attempt to redress, but the redress of which would tend to ca:m the excitement which now prevailed in that country. -Sit. J. Graham complained of the tone and temper of the speech of the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh (Mr. Ma- cauley), which formed a strong contrast to the previous course of the debate, which was calin and dispassionate. In reference to the dismissal of the magistrates for attending repeal meetings, he defended the Irish Government on the ground that even if the meetings in Ireland were legal, they were, from the multitudes which attended them, calculated to engender the public peace; and after an intimation had been conveyed to the Magistrates of the inexpediency of attending them, the Government was justified in dismissing them fof subsequently attending-such meetings. It was said that the voice of the Irish Members was not heard in that House, and the assertion surprised him, when he remem- bered how many Irishmen had been rhe ornanwnrs of that House—when he remembered the names of Burke, Can. ning, Grattan, Sheridan, and in latter times O'Connell and Sileil-Dames, every one of which, though to some of them he was politically opposed, he would say must go down to posterity as having been distinguished ornaments of that House. It might be said, however, that their voice had no influence in the House; but this could not be the case, for the Hon. Member for Cork (Mr. O'Connell) had repeatedly declared that by means of the majority of Irish Members the Government of Earl Grey had been enabled to carry the English Reform Bill. If Government had forfeited the con. fidence of the House, the motion was perfectly legitimate, but as a mere motion for inquiry it was absurd, for it could lead to no practical result. The Government was prepared to act towards Ireland in the most impartial spirit; its pa- tronage should be fairly extended to the Catholics in pro- portion to their merits, and every attention should be paid to remove all just grounds of complaint; but they could Dot consent to appropriate any portion of the revenues of the Established Church to other than Ecclesiastical purposes, and no hesitation muft be exhibited by the Government in 'his extraordinary crisis, in its determination to maintain the Union inviolate. If they hesitated in repressing the rebel- lious spirit which now prevailed in Ireland, the glory of Eng- latitt would be departed, and the most deplorable conse- quences must be the inevitable restilt. -Captain Bernal then moved the adjournment of the debate, which was agreed to. The Machinery Bill passed through Committee, the debate to he taken on a future stage. The Court of Exchequer (Ireland) Bill went through com- mittee as far as the 22d clause. The Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the House adjourned at one o'clock.

This inciease is not however solely derived from sources of ordinary revenue, even if the Property Tax be treated as such. In the return of this quarter, under the head Miscellaneous, u; a sum of 803,0001., the produce of money received from China, and there was, it must be re- collected, in the last quarter's account under the same head, the sum of 511,406l. derived from the like source. Deduct- ing then the total of these two sums, 1,314 406t. from the actual increase on the year, 2,442,9421., the increase arising from taxation is only 1,128,5361.; and deducting the sum of 803,0001. from the quarter's increase, J ,701 ,532l., the in. crease arising from taxation during that period is only 898,532/ a sum exceeding the quarter's receipts from the Property Tax by linle more than 30,000/.—This statement, says the Morning Herald, would be extremely unsitisfac- tory had the total amount of the year's Properly Tax been collected but such is not the case. The amount of Pro- perty Tax available for revenue purposes is 5,100,0001. the amount already go.* in is only 3,311,9971 so that there is still a sum of 1,782,0031. outstanding to be hereafter cariied to the credit of the year's Property Tax, and as that sum greatly exceeds the receipts from China, the increase from taxation in the year would, had the Property Tax been collected, as it certainly might, had Ministers applied any pressure to the collection-have reached nearly 3,000 000/. and with the addition of the China silver receipts, the total increase from all sources would have almost been 4,400,0001. -The returns are, we repeat, on the whole satisfactory; the Customs receipts indicate the success of the new Tariff not in the augmentation of the revenue, but in what is mnch better, increased facilities of consumption the Excise shows diminished pressure on industry; and the Property Tax already collected is only 400,0001. beneath the sum total of its annual produce, relied on by Sir Robert Peel when pro- posing it, leaving a sum of 1,700,000/. to be still got in. This condition of tne public finances is, it may be anticipated a certain foierunner of their further and permanent improve- ment." The Sun says-" The Revenne Returns for the year and the quarter are given in another pa t of the paper, and we state with deep regret that they exhibit for the year a great falling-off in every department, with Ihe exception of the Post-office. For the quarter there is even a fallinjr-off under that head. Without the Chinese silver and the Pio- perty-tax the country would have been in a sad predica- ment but at the same time it is consolatory to see that for the quarter there are in some departments symptoms of improvement, there being an increase in the Customs and Excise of 275,02' I., and, including other items, a total in- ciease of 1,989,0041. The country, on the whole, has no reason to despair. It abounds with wealth, and, what is more, with energy fit for any enterprise, and able to com- pete with every other nation; and though stagnation of trade may occasionally take place, it has always been found that in a short time the spitit of the people and their vast wealth have surmounted every difficulty." The Glube likewise says-" The actual increase upon the regular branches of the revenue is, in round numbers, abot-t 50,0001. —an amounl which, though small and scarcely worthy of notice under ordinary circumstances, becomes important as an indication of buoyancy in those branches of revenue dependent on out, internal and foreign trade, which have been so long depressed. We hail this appearance of di- minished pi essure of distress upon the labouring classes with undissembled satisfaction, and trust that the favourable symptoms will not be evanescent."

MISCELLANEOUS. HER MAJESTY'S BIRTHDAY -Thursday having been appointed for the celebration of her Majesty's birthday, the morning was ushered in by the ringing of merry peals, and the hoisting of the Royal Standard on the principal church steeples and public buildings of the metropolis. At ten o'clock the annual inspection of the Household Troops took place on the parade in St. James's Park the flank companies of the Grenadier Guards, preceded hy the drum major of each regi- ment in state clothing1, as also two troop* of the Second Life Guards, arrived in the area in front of the Horse Guards, accompanied by the Staff and other Officers, and the bands (four in number) struck op "God save the Queen." Prince Albert, the King of the Belgians, the Duke and Prince George of Cambridge, the Duke of Wellington,and other distinguished officers, were present and inspected the ranks.—At Woolwich, the whole of the troops in garrison off duty assembled on the Common in review order, under the command of Colonel Turner,C.B Lord Bloomfield, the Commandant, having pro- ceeded to town to pay his respects to her Majesty at the Drawing Hooro. At twelve o'clock the Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Rlackley, fired a royal salute, which was immediately followed by a feu de j ie by the battalions of Foot Artillery, the corps of Royal Sappers and Miners, and a large body of Royal Marines: and a royal salute was repeated by the field batteries on the left, com- manded by Major Wood. The whole of the troops on the ground then gave three hearty cheers, and afterwards returned to their barracks. The day being tine, a great numberof persons were present from the metropolis and surrounding parts of the country, and although the exercises occupied but a short time, they appeared delighted with the scene.-Sta.te dinner parties in honour of the day were given by the Minis- ters and Officers of State, the Earl of Liverpool, as Lord Steward, to tbe noblemen and gentlemen of the Board of Green Clolh the Lord Chamberlain to a distinguished party Sir James Graham, to the Lord Chancellor, the Judges, the Speaker of the House of Commons, Attorney and Solicitor- Generals, the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Members for the Generals, the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, the Members for the City, &c.; the Earl of Aberdeen, to the Foreign Ministers; and Sir Robert Peel, to Prince Ebersdorf, and a large party of the nobHity.—The Duke of Wellington gave a full dress 't hall in the evening at Apsley House, which was attended by 1200 individuals of distinction. The Officers of the House- hold Regiments and Coldstream Guards were honoured with invitations, those of the Grenadier Guards all wearing mourn- ing for the late gallant Colonel Ellison. At nine o'clock the gallery, arranged as the ball-room, and the five connecting saloons, were brilliantly lighted up, and in the ordinary dining- room the supper was laid out. All the rooms were profusely ornamented with the choicest flowers. At the south end of the gallery a temporary orchestra was erected, hung with amber satin drapery to correspond with the hangings" The party were in full dress, and the ball costumes of the ladies were of the most splendid description. The Foreign Ministers appeared in full uniform, and from the variety of their na- tional costumes, and the various ribands and decorations which they wore, added greatly to the effect of the scene. The party invited by the Noble Duke comprised most of the nobility, without the slightest distinction to party politics; Viscount Palmerston, Viscount Morpeth, and Lord J. Russell, were among the guests.—The illuminations in celebration of the day were principally confined to the various Club-houses, and the residences of the Royal tradespeople. From dusk until long after midnight the principal thoroughfares at the west end were thronged by respectable persons on foot and in carriages and vehicles of every description. THE PoPULATtoN.—By Returns made to the House of Commons relative to the population of the United Kingdom, as ascertained by the last census, it appears that the total pop ulatiou of England and Wales amounts to 15,911,646, and of Scotland to 2,620,207 the number of persons travel- ling by railways and canals, on the night of the 6th of June, 1841, being 4896. It further appears that the total popula- tion of Ireland amounts to 8,175,238, of whom 852,064 were ascertained to be members of the Established Church, 6,427,712 to be Roman Catholics, 642,356 Presbyterians, and 21,808 Protestant Dissenters INCOME-TAX. — NEW ENACTMENTS -In an Act passed a few days back, respecting assessed taxes, two provisioDi appear to simplify some difficulties in the Income-tax Act. It is declared that the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes are to direct where parties shall be assessed to the income- tax, in cases where they are liable to be assessed in more than one place. The second enactment is to relieve parties who may be doubly charged in part or whole respecting any occupation in one or more districts. The Commissioners are authorised to direct that the whole or part of such as- sessments shall be vacated and discharged. TRADE OF BRISTOL. The export of coal from Bristol tas fallen from 3,614 tons in the year 1841, to 2481 tons in 1842, or nearly one. half! How thankful (says the Meicury) ought we to be for a Conservative Government." It was to put everything right. So far, we have only'got less trade and more taxes. Most persons would prefer fewer taxes and inore trade. SMUGGLING IN THE ENGLISH CHANNf.L.-The round- fterned ^sloop John Bosworth, 52 tons register, of Bridg- water, Gould, master, was seized mid-channel on the 30th lilt., by the Ariow tender to the Harpy, having on board 25 casks, with It cwt. of tobacco in each, covered on the head with red herrings. The sloop is in Sntten Pool. The master and three hands are in the Plymouth borough prison. The master has lately completed a six months' confinement for a similar offence. Puncheons of potatoes and bones have been recently stopped by the Customs authorities at Guernsey and Jersey, it having been discove.ed that the pnncheons staves were each composed of two flit pieces, between which at the bilge of the cask tobacco was lodged; by this means 16 puncheons were made to conceal 25 cwt. NEW COINAGE.-For the last week the employts at the Royal Mint have been busily engaged in striking a large quantity of sovereigns and half-sovereigns, and a new silver coinage, on account of the Bank of England, as tbe July dividends are now in the course of payment in the Rotunda, Although the amount of bullion at the Bank is upwards of ] 1,500,0001. sterling, there is a general deficiency throughout the country of small silver, particularly in the great manu- facturing and agricultural districts, and it is with some difficulty that the branch banks can furnish the demand. There is also a want of more copper coinage, and a con- siderable quantity is about to be struck at the Mint, to obviate the difficulty thus experienced bv the public in obtaming change.-By the statement of the acconnt between the Master of the Mint and the Lords of the Treasury relative to the Sycee silver remitted from China, it appears that the total value is 1,334,485/. ]2s. 8d., the freight and other expenses connected with which is 19,2911. 18s. 2d., leaving a balance of ],315,1881. 9s.5d.; the above-named sum being equal in Chinese value to 6,000,000 dollars, the first instalment under the treaty of Nankin. Of ibis amount, 1I281,406/. 13s. lOd. has been paid into the Exchequer, and 53,073/. 13s. 9d. reserved for defraying freight, charges of pieparation, contingent expenses, and allowances, subject to the approbation of the Lords of the Treasury. COLOMBIAN MINING ASSOCIATION.—On Thursday the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held at the office in Ausiin-'narg, J. D. Powles, Esq., in the chair. From the report, it appeared that the operations at the mines had been greatly hindered during a portion of the last year, from the want of the necessary supply of water, which caused the workings to be carried on to a loss till October, from which date an improvement took place, and a profit had been realised every month, np to the last advices, -^Tliere did not appear to have been at any time any falling off in the supply of ore. During 1842 about 1,578 square fathoms of ground had been excavated, from which 9.115 tons of dry ore, averaging about 700 tons per month had been obtained. From January to October the cost was 77,829 dollars, and the returns 66,168 dollars, shewing a loss of 11,661 dollars. In November, the cost was 7,700, and the returns 11,651, leaving 3,911 dollars of profit. In De- cember 'he cost was 6,607, and the returns 9,784, leaving a profit of 3,177 dollars. In January the profit was 850, and and in February 4,500 dollars. The Directors hoped this prosperity would continue throughout the present year, when a satiifactory dividend might be expected. The re- ceipts were 3,7101. 12s. 5d., which, after the expenditure, left a balance of 2571. 3s. After some discussion, the report was adopted, and the meeting adjourned. ANTI-CORN-LAW AGITATION. — Mr. Cobden having announced his intention to visit Colchester and address the farmers "on the agricultural working of the Corn-laws and on the depressed condition of the farm tenantry," a nil. merous meeting took place in the field at the back of the tanvard, East Bridge, where a platform was erected oil waggons. Mr. Cobden was accompanied by Mr.Villiers,M.P., Mr. Moore and several friends; and among others on the platform were, Sir John Tyrell, M.P., Sir G. Smilh, M.P., Mr. C. G. Round, M.P., Mr. Ferrand, M.P., SirJ. Maclean, Messrs. G. Round, J. Bawtree, J. G. Rebou, O. Hanhury, H. Hanbury, T. L'E>trange Ewen, J. J. Tuffnell, jun., T. Nimn, H. White, C. Nunn, O. Parker, the Rev. Messrs. C. Tyrell, and B. Staine, P. Honeywood, Major Sperling, W. E. Greene, W. F. Hobbs, O. Copland, F. Bawtree, S. Langley, J. Beadel, W. Hutley, R. Baker, &c.—The total nnmber of persons whoattended were estimated at between 3000 and 4000, and on the motion of Mr. Rebou, seconded by Mr. Hurnard, the chair was taken amidst general accla- mation by Mr; J. Bawtree. The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said, he wished it to be understood that he totally disapproved of the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League, and that he was placed in the position he then filled because lie held all office of some imponance to the faimers of that county—he meant his office of" President of the Essex Agricultural Society," which had mixed him up a good deal with agricultural pursuits; at the same time he requested that every speaker might be permitted to deliver his senti- ments uninterruptedly.—The Chairman then introduced Mr. Cobden, at whose instance they had then assembled and that gentleman addressed the meeting at considerable length, going over the same arguments lie had used at the several meetings he had attended, maintaining that the Corn-laws were upheld by the landlords, under the pre- tence of serving the people, but in reality only for their own iiiierest-it was a general system of plunder, extortion, and starvation, and his object in coining among them that day was to learn their sentiments, whether such a system was carried on merely for the benefit of the farmer, and the farmer tenant, and labourer. If the farmers thought it for their benefit to have that state of things maintained, then undoubtedly, he should be bound to think that they woe responsible for the continuance of the system; hut lie could not believe it nntil he heard them make declarations to that effect, and he might then say, incidentally, that lie. had never attended a meeting to consider the Corn-laws at which there were not five to one against them.-At the CIIIIChl- sion of his address, Mr. Cobden proposed a resolution con. demnatory of the Corn-laws.—Sir J. Tyrell then moved as an amendment "that in the opinion of this meeting, while the present charges upon land remained, the home grower of corn could not compete with the foreign grower without a protection." The Hon. Member replied at great length to the various points urged by Mr. Cobden, and was fol- lowed by Mr. Villiers in favour of the resolution; whilst Mr. Ferrand condemned it as leading to anarchy, confusion, and ft'IJe/lion.-The Chairman then put the amendment, which was supported by a large number both in the crowd and on the platform, and, on putting the original proposition declared it to be carried by a great majodty. IRISH MARRtAGES.-In the Judicial Committee of the Honse of Lords on Friday, in the case of The Queen v. Mellis, Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Justices Williams, Cole. ridge, Erskille, and Cresswell, and Barons Parke, Alderson, and Rolfe, attended the house to give their answers on the subject of the validity of the Irish Marriages. The Law Lords ptesent were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Devon Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell.— Lord Chief Justice Tindal, in a very long and elaborate argument, declared that the opinions of the consulted Judges were against the validity of any marriage, by the old law of England, when such marriage was not celebrated by a n iest in holy orders. The contract per verba de prasenti was lookett upon by the Judges as a contract of marriage, not as a marriage itself. The law of inarmge in this country was no (Iotii)t founded upon the principle of the canon law"; but it was not the canon taw-it was the King's ecclesiastical law, and had iTs own peculiarities. It differed from the Tl'?!1, W seveial respects, and in lint among tbe rest. H eaiiied Judge went into a full examination of all the aut IOI ities, of all the statutes, and of a great variety of opinions expressed by judges and by text writers, and reo enec the opinion that marriage in England per verba de prcesenti bad been valid, to what lie described as a mis con- ception ot a dictum of Lord Holt's. As to the case of Dal- i> in pie v. Dalryniple," the judges thought that the ex- piesMon of Lord Stowell in that case, as to what that learned • iu ge there declared to be the law of England, was mere 0 1 er dictum, not being requited for the decision of the case, and either without warrant of previous authority or founded', like those of Lord Ellenborough and some other very lealueft persons, on a misconception of the opinion of Lord Holt. u the whole therefore the Judges pronounced their opinion •hat the marriage, which in this case had taken place be- ween Iwo persons per verba de prcesenti, in the presence of Presbyteiian minister "at Banbridge, in the county of own, was illegaL-The opinions of the learned Judges were ordeied to be printed and on the suggestion Gf the Lord Chancellor, it was determined that no observations should be made on the case now; but that their Lordships should arrange among themselves the course they would adopt as to its final consideration.—Judgment postponed. REPEAL DEMONSTRATION IN DUBLIN. —An extraordi- nary and popular demonstration was made in Dublin on Monday, at a meeting of the tradesmen of that city, to petition for a repeal of the Union. The place of meeting was the ground on which Donnybrook fair is held, and the place ot rendezvous for the different trades wax the village of Phibsborough, in the northern suburbs. Immense mul- titudes assembled to witness the procession throughout its progress, and each of the trades was accompanied by bands of music playing popular airs, and not unfrequenily God save the Queen." Vaiious banners were displayed, and among others one bearing a representation of the Bank of Ireland, formerly the House of Commons, under which were the words Our old house at home." In passing through Merrioii-square, they stopped opposite the house of 1\1 r. O'Connell, who appeared on the balcony with some ladies and Dr. Hughes, the Roman Catholic Bishop of New York. ol' The Liberator was received with most enthusiastic cheers and at three o'clock the whole of the trades, amounting it was computed, to 17,280 persons, arrived on the appointed spot, and at this time considerably more than 100,000 per- sons were collected. Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., was called to the chair, and, adverting to the orderly manner in which the assemblage conducted themselves, congratulated himself upon the scene of peaceful triumph which was presented. Mr. Peter Hughes moved the first resolution, which was as follows:—" Resolved, that the malignity evinced towards Ireland by the present Cabinet who direct our August So- vereign, and who have coupled her Royal name with threats against our beloved country, has not, not- shall not shake onr confidence in our beloved Queen Victoria; and should that Kojai Lady require the services ot her Irish subjects on any I,» jCy w',aIever* none amongst that loyal people would nenl« read* shed the last drop of their blood, if necessary, in defence of her Royal Pelson and Throne, than Mr HITC the ancient a,ld lo>'al c'ty of Dublin."— Henry Grattan seconded the resolution. He asked were the Englishmen to put a brand on their foreheads as well as upon their arms? Never! A union could exist only on a footing of equality; but the English and Scotch alone were iavoured under the existing arrangement The Queen's name had been used by a Minister who had no authority for it. It was time to show the Queen that they were loyal, but on the condition that they were free. The resolution was adopted.—Mr. Harrison proposed the next resolution, calling for a Repeal of the Union. After some further observations, Mr. O'Connell presented himself and was received with enthusiastic cheering. He said never had happened 10 him to see such all assemblage as had been congregated that day. It was impossible for him to have more power—of power he had more than enough the only question was how he should wield it. He had more strength —more physical force than ever Monarch commanded Or General led. He had abundant physical force. All Ireland was lising as one mass—the mighty movement had com- menced from Cape Clear, and was extending itself to the Giant's Catiseway-Howtii would re-echo the shout to Con- narnera, and on the wild winds of heaven was borne the cry of Repeal of the Union and Liberty Lor Ireland. Old Ireland and liberty !—Yes, there was never such a national uprising —such a simultaneous declaration of opinion—such a mani- festation of peaceable determination—such a national re- solve, recorded in the presence of Heaven, announcing to the nations around that Iretandwontd be free, and the Union be repealed. All that was requisite was, that they should manage their strength. There must be no riot, no violence, no tumult. They would have the country to them- selves. The English were beginning to perceive that. The British Ministers were quailing before them. Wellington threatened to go to war with tiiem—ah Peel came down to the House of Commons, and lied about the Qiteen-ah Was there ever anything in the history of the woild so audacious as the conduct of these Ministers? When the people of Ireland were lookinc for the repeal of an Act of Parliattient-atid their enemies themselves admitted that they were looking for it quietly and peaceably-a British Ministry, a Constitutional Ministry—not the Ministry of a Despot to be appointed at the will of a Sovereign, but at least bearing the name of a popular Ministry, dared to talk of such a thing as civil war The people of Ireland, how. ever, had declared that they would not go to war-I hat they would observe the law-that they would be peaceable-that they would attack nobody but they hurled defiance against those who declared that they would attack them. The Hon. Gentleman then alluded to the repeal movement in America. He said he had received on the previous day for the Repeal Association 11251. from the Repealers in the United States— a splendid manifestation of sympathy for the sufferings and constitution of the Irish people; and in closing he said, the Star of Freedom was risitig-it was on the hOI iZQn-sonn would it shine over them, and, whilst they pitied the fate of other nations, they would rejoice in the glorv of their own beloved land. This speech was cheered throughout by the vast assemblage. After several speeches, the immense mul- titude separated in good order and quietness. SUSPECTKD MURDFR.— A small lonely mountain cot- tage at Moel Trefew, about three miles from Llanwrst, Den- bighshire, was tenanted by a labouring man, named Evan Jones, and an elderly female, Jane Thomas, who did the household work, and had, in that capacity, resided with Jones for nearly two years. About seven weeks ago Jane Thomas disappeared, but at that time the circumstance caused no alarm, as Evan Jones asserted that she had departed from the cottage with the professed intention of visiting some relatives who resided in Holywell; however, this intelligence being subsequently disproved by information from Holywell to the effect that Jane Thomas had not been seen by any one in that neighbourhood, a suspicion was engendered that something fatal might have befallen her, and a general excitement was produced throughout the population in that part where she had resided. The whole now, in conjunction with the police, engaged in a most vigilant search, which terminated unsuc- cessfully; still a general feeling of distrust was entertained and expressed against Evan Jones, and the police-officer con- tinued on the alert. On Friday last, the brother of Evan Jones being at work in a potato-field, accompanied by some bo)s, his sons, one of the lads observed, "Father, I wonder where those are going to (meaning some dogs that were then passing): I have frequently seen them take that same way I will step and see what they can be after;" which intention, with another lad, he carried into execution, and thereby, her. rible to relate, discovered them in a deep wet ditch, gnawing at the remains of the late Jane Thomas, from which they had torn away all the calf of the right leg, eaten a large portion of one side, and the whole of the intestines. The body, which was quite naked, and in a state of rapid decomposition, was taken to the house of Jones, who was soon after apprehended, and on Saturday taken before Capt. Watlin, R.N., and Mr. Wm. Hanmer, Magistrates, who sat for the investigation of the case at the TownhalI, Llanwrst, when such facts were de- posed to by the sister of deceased and other ivitnesses, as to induce the Magistrates to remand Evan Jones for a few days. At present the prisoner is in custody of the police, at the lock- up-bouse in Llanwrst.
