THE MINISTRY. 1 Ministers have not yet n know it, answers echo, ct VIrlandaisc. Ministers will not resign—That we know too, rcspondeth echo. They have other dirty tricks to play. Certain, most cer- tain, is the reply. It wi'l be some time yet before they resort to a dissolution of Parliament; but that time cannot be very long, and to it they must ulti- mately come. Now, therefore, the hour has arrived for all well-wishers to their country to put their hflnd to the plough, :¡r!not turn hacl fn In it, until tho good work be fu"y completed. The/ must pre- pare—net for the forthcoming struggle, si ice struggle in the literal sense of the word there cannot be, but to make the victory as complete and decisive as it is certain. Their preparations for the ciiii- paign ought now to be organised in every district throughout the country, their plans laid down, and a uniformity of action secured by well devised arrange metits. They must not only pull strongly, but pull together. It is not suthcicllt to scotch t Ie snake, illey filust kill it. Therefore, Conservatives, be up an<i doing, and rest not utvJil you have seared the hvdra-headed monster, which you have hitiierto deca- pitated only to see fresh awl more porteutoas growths arise. Apply the actual cautery; that i», he stern and uncompromising in vour honesty. Throw forms to Ihe wind, grapple with substances, and the day is your own, and England saved.—John Bull. The Journal Jcs Dcbats thus notices the latrf defeat or tii(! is one of the gravest checks that the career of the Lnglish Mini-try has presented, fertile as it is in incidents of the kind. A resignation would be exceedingly logical, reasonable, and constitutional, and for that very reason we are convinced that the present Ministry will not tender it. They have not the habit of being disturbed for so slight a matter, and it is to lie supposed that they will support it with that almost Oriental resignation which has enabled them to live on in the midst of so many incessant misadventures. It is not that we attach a first ratei mportancp to the amendment which was carried Oil Monday, nor even to the whole Bill. But the check given to the Ministry consists more in showing the inutility of the advances it has made to the opposition than in the failure of its own resist- ance. The Ministers have had the talent to displease their friends, without contenting their

CHADWICK. Nearly sixty five thousand pounds for the mere official working of the workhouse law in England and Ireland after this Scotland ollght greatly to rejoice that it as yet is not visited with the infliction. There can be no wonder Lord J. RUSSKLL was so anxious for a longer lease of it for ten years, when it affords a govern- ment, boasting its disinterested abnegation of patronage, the opportunity of filling ninety-three places of the total vallie of twenty-seven thousand andforty-seven pounds sixteen shillings and eleven pence per annum, varying from twenty-six to two thousand pounds for individual sa'nry with the control of itrenty-one thousand two hundred and seven ly-one pounds for travelling expenses, for tl e assistant commissioners and. thir clerks. The anxiety his lordship feels for the education of the people in general will be fully appreciated' when reference is made to the item of three hun- dred and seventeen pound; two shillings and etc--c,-i pence, as the ixpense of the instruction of eleven thousand and seven pauper children, which is rather more than eight children for oneper.ny per IDeek. Knowledge would seem to be now running a race for cheapness with water gruel. One of the chief recommendations of the school master abroad will doubtless be the saving in workhouse slops by the less costly process of New Poor Law education, since one of the fruits of the spread of this sort of learning is to train up the poor to endure short commons and workhouse incarceration with greater resigna- tion. Before the new law and the commission are permitted to be perpetrated, it is probable the people may have the opportunity of record- ing their protest against it at a general election. It' the op; ortunity be lost, the people only will have themselves to blame for the harsh provi- sions contained in it let them imitate the example of Nottingham.

FBHOCITY OF TUB CAKKIO.V CROW. On onciay the attention of the visitors in (he oriiametital gardeits of St. Jdmes's Park was called to a large carrion crow hovering over the ake, apparently with the intention of attacking some of the birds. After conterni)la',ii)g an I-yp- lialt goose for "orne time, he soared to a great lieiffht, from whence he descended with great velocity, pouncing upon a flnck which was at the time sepldng- illseclS in the grass, surrounded by a numerous brood of youiig ones. The l*rge yellow bill of the crow penetrated the neck of the duck, but did nit kill it the crow then soared aloft again, and came down rapidly, striking his pi-ey tigain in the hcck, and killinx il. lie then eeizsd the duck in his mou'h, and flew off in the direction of C'rlton Gardens. Subsequently, how- ever, he wheeled round, and retired to a more secluded spot, the rookery at Spring Gardens, to enjoy his prey. -Garde;icrs' Chronichs. On Saturday, the 17th ult., no little sen-ation was created in this place by a report which pre- vailed of an English gentleman having put a period to hi* existence in his room in Leith's Caledonian Hotel. On inql/iry this report was foond to be 100 tr.ie. The deceased, w ho is described to have been about 3J years of aee, of gentlemanly manners and op pea ranee, and suffering considerably from lowness of spirits, had arrived from Orkney by the steamer Sovereign of the previous Tuesday. and had been attended at the hotel by Dr James Henderson, of ttiis place. ii-ifil Thursday, when that gentleman, in consequence of urgent business, was obliged to leave for Edinburgh. Medicines, as also directions for their use, had, it woiild teeiii, been left tvitli the stranger, and it would appear from the result cf the investigation which this melancholy event neces- sitated, that such had been partially made use of. It would seem that the deceased had retired to his bed room about I or 2 o'clock on the forenoon of the day mentioned, and as there was no appearance of his quitting it at .3 in the afternoon, though Mrs Leith had called and knocked twice at the door, an attempt was made to open it, when it was found to be locked inside. On obtaining entrance, a melancholy spectacle presented itself. The de- ceased was extended on the floor, with his throat dreadfully cut, while a white handled razor rested t:) the depth of the handle in the wound! Both arms, at the bends of the elbows, «ere also much cut, and lay stretched by his side. A medical gen- tleman was immediately sent for, and on the examination of the body, I:e staled it as his opinion that the death of the deceased was occasioned by the wounds in his arms and throat, and that he must have ceased to exist for about three or four hours before his arrival. A note, on which the following words were written, was found on the dressing table in the room :—" Write my mother— Mrs Sheppard, Sible, near Halstead, Essex." The authorities have, as a matter of course, seen that all due care is taken of his property and money; of the latter. there was about £ -10. The clergyman of flair-tead, in Essex. ui ,ell as some oi tiie deceased's relations, have, we learn, been written to, with an account of this melancholy event. The funeral took place at 6 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday last, when his remains were followpd 10 the place of interment, in the churchyard of Wick, I by a numerous body of the respectable inhabitants We believe he had been resident for some months in Orkney, and intended to have proceeded south. -John o' Groats Journal. THB BIsnop BHIDGR MIRDER.—The trial of Dootan, Redding, and Hickip, for the iiiurclerofc-reeti one of the gaugers on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, in December last, took place at the Circuit Court here on Friday. The evidence was of the most conclusive description as to the guilt of the prisoners. During the trial, which lasted upwards of 12 hours, the prisoners appeared to pay he greatest attention to what was going on; but a little levity of expres- sion was occasionally observable in the countenance of Doolan and Redding at some points in the evidence. For the last two hours of the triil, HicJo appeared to be very uneasy, making a number of nervous movements on his seat, and notwithstanding the stolid look of attention with which lie regarded the Judges, we learn, so oblivious had lie become, that he was not aware he was recommended to mercy till told -tfter lie w.-s taken back to his cell. Tite SoIicitor General has already written to the Lord Advocate on the subject of a commutation to trallsportntioll for life of the sentence of Hickie and as this, in accor- dance with the recommendation of the Jury, will be supported by the judges who tried the case, we have no doubt but the extreme penalty of the law will not be carried into effect upon this prisoner. But for the other two there can he no hope. The execution of these man at the railway is likely to cause no small sensation ill rhe city and neighbourhood, and is ex- pected to strike terror into the hearts of the raiUvay labourers, whose senses, it may well be supposed, will be strougly impressed by so awful a v IIId ieatioll of the majesty of the law un the very spot where the mur- derers poured out the blood of their victim.-G.av- Chronicle, NEW STSAM COMIMNV IN XKWHY. — A most influ- ential meeting was held in the Assembly rooms, Ncwry, on .Monday w eek, for the purpose of forming a company for the purch ase of a steam vessel to ply between Ncwry and Liverpool. A resolution was passed in the affirmative, and another that the capital of the company be XIO,OOJ-A thousand shares of Xlj each. WOMEN SUMMONED TO PARLIAMENT, — It is recorded that among the persons returned to the parliament of 1361 (35th Edward III,), were Ma rie, Coutitesse de Norfi'; A'ienor, Counlesse de Ormond; Philippa, Couute«se de March; AlJes, Countesse de Pembrook; and Catharine, Countes«e de Atholl. In the preceding yuar a'.so, there had been writs tested at Koyiit'm, on the 5th of April, issue to dive.s earls, bisiops, and to four abbesses, requiting their attendance at Westminster on the morrow of the Trinity, for the purpose of treat ing of an aid for the making of the king's eldest son a knim,])f, &-c. lii other and more modern phraseology they were summoned to consider abcut making a money grant." It docs not appear, however, that any ladies ever actually" took their seats" in parliament by virtue of these summonses; but there are nume- rous instances on record of both squill's and knights having sat in the House of Lords in right of the'r wives. Loss OF ANOTHER EMIGRANT SHIP. —Information has been received at Lloyd's of the loss of the s'iip Recovery, Captain Conway, of Dublin, hound for Quebec, with 260 emigrants. The following are the ínrtieuIars She got under weigh from the Oyster Island on the afternoon of Thursday, the 221 ult., but came to an anchor in Pooldoy, inside the bar, to await the owner's coming on board with final de- spatches for the master. It was late when he arrived and it was considered the better way to remain until next morning; but then the wind was westerly, which prevented her getting to sea, and so was obliged to stop for the first favourable opportunity. On Saturday morning, the HII, at 7 o'clock, it rnnie oil to blow a violent gale from the South-west, causing the Reco- very to drive from her anchors, and in the course of a short time she parted one anchor and got on the bank called Currawn bug, where she laboured and struck heavily for several hours. At this time the i-oizet). mast was cut away to ease her; but the vessel being broadside to the sea, and it making a complex breach over her, the other chain was slipped, and it being flood tide, she beat over the bank, and was carried by the gale up the channel of Lissadel, until the shore brought her up close to the residence of Sir Robert Gore Booth, Bart., having previously lost her rudder and become quite unmanageable. The scene on board among nearly 300 passengers, who expected every moment to meet a watery grave, beggars description. Fortunately, with assistance, they were ill safelv landed, and too much praise cannot bejtiven to Sir Robert G. Booth for Ilis unbounded carp. and liberality in supplying them with bedding, food, and everything which they, in their forlorn and heirless state, required. The Recovery is expected to become a total wreck. The oakum is out of the bottom seams and her hooding.ends forward are started. Exertions are being made to save the lu.tg.igo and propertv of the poor unfortunate emigrants, and tie emigration agent has been rendering every assistance. The ill fated vessel makes much water, having niLe feet in her hold. A dreadful and fatal accident ocenrrcd last week o.) the Londoll and Brighton Railroad, near fiodstone Surrey, to two young men, about 18 years of age who wero run over by one of the trains laden with- earth, &c. It appears that they were standing in- cautiously near the rails, and were knocked down one of thein, whose name is unknown, was killed on the spot, the wheels cutting off both his feet, and passing over his body. The o'lier la(l, iitiiie(I Fre. derick Moore, had one of his feet severed, and lies in a hopeless state. BURGLARY WITFI VIOLENCE.— A daring outrage, very similar to that recently committed at Bex hill, which excited so much alarm throughout the whole county of Sussex, was perpetrated on Tuesday week at the residence of a farmer, named Bayman, residing near Tring, on the borders of the Herts, in the county of Bucks. Mr Bayman and his family retired to rest at their usual hour, and about one o'clock in the morning they were alarmed by a noise as of some person being in the house, and immediately after- wards three men, with their faces blackened, lushed into Mr Bayman's bed room. He jumped out of bed, when the first man, who hnd a candle in one hand and a pistol in the other, pointed the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out if he did not be quiet and give up his money. They then forced him on the bed, and with the most dreadful oaths, dcc.U>-o<t ttioy uf/uihl murder him if lie did not give them money. Mr Bayman, finding resistance to be gave the villains li) sovereigns and some silver; and one of them stood guard over him, while (ho two others proceeded to the bed room of Miss Bayman, the daughter of Mr Bayman, of whom they demanded money, and, upon her telling them she had not got any, they used most horrible imprecations, and broke open every box and drawer in the room in the expectation of finding some money. The ruffians then proceeded to the lower part of the premises, and for nearly two hours they were employed in ran sacking the house, and when they had packed up a quantity of valuable property, co- sisting of wearing apparel, silver spoons, watches, &(, they again went lo the bed room of Mr Bayman, and one of the men produced his gun, which he had brought Irom the lower part ofiile house, all:1 loaded it in his presence, and told him they would fire it off as a signal when they bad left the premises; and they toid him that if he went down stairs, or gave any alarm before the morning, they would return and murder him. The villains then decamped but Mr Bayman and the family were so alarmed at their threa s ti.it they did not go do-vit stairs until daylight, when they found every drawer and cupboard had been forced open, and a quantity of valuable properly abstracted. Mr Bay- man then gave information of what had occurred, and Ashby, the constable of Tring, immediately made inquiries in the neighbourhood, and having ascer- tained that ttire(I each carrying a large bundle, had been S'C:I going in a direction from the neigh hourhood where the robbery was committed towards Chesham, he obtained the assistance of another constable and proceeded in pursuit, and upon going into a public house, near Aston Clinton, they found three men answering the description of the thieves, and they took them into custody, and found nearly i.'7 in gold and silver, and several articles of the stolen property in their possession. The next day thev were taken before Sir John King, a magistrate for the countv of Bucks, when tllPY gave their names, David and George Alice and John Reeve, but the latter is well known by the soubriquet of "Gipsy Jack." The ahove facts were then given in evidence, and Mr Bay- man II Iso stated that although the men's laces were blackened and otherwise di'guised, he had a good opportunity of observing their features, and hp swore positively they were the parties who had acted as he described, and he likewise identified the Articles found ill their possession as being part of the stolen property. After a lotl investigation the prisoners, who merely denied the charge, were fully commilted to take their trial. VALUABLE DISCOVERY OF COPPER.—We under- stand that a very valuable vein of copper ha illst been discovered in the 31anor of Ulpha. Report for some time was abroad that the workmen en- gaged a few years ago then made the discovery, but from some selfish motives immediately aban- doned ihe working to try some other place, first taking care to cover lip their treasure. In cotise- quenoe of these repor's, Mr Harrison, the present lord of the manor, lately set workmen to clear away the superincumbent earth, and, after about four weeks' labour, they succeeded in discov2ring, from all appearance, a rich and extensive vein of ore, ihe further pursuit of which, we are glad to hear, he has ordered the workmen to commence. We wish him every success, and we have no doubt the inhabitants of Ulpha will do the same, for the benefit to that part of the country will be incalcu- lable should the worki go on I)rosperously.- Whitehaven Herald. A GooD MORNING'S WORK.—The Singapore papers give the follow ing communication from one of their Borneo c,,rresi)onde,,I!S: -()tl a morning of last October. Mimo, of Sepang, took his hoe and commenced his usual operations. He toiled but a few minutes when his instrument came in contact with something of unusual size and resistance. He took up the rock of offence, and giving it a passing glance, threw it a»ide. But while loilin away his thoughts returned to the dis- carded stone, when a remembrance of its unusual heaviness arrested his attention. He again gave it a more strict scrutiny by washing, rubbing, &c., and having concluded it worth preserving, deli- vered it to the Kungsi. After a fe", days the latier brought it to SAiiibas, and sold it to the Sultan for 2,000 Java rupees. The rock proved a mass of gold, weighing between three and four catties. G FOI,OGY.- I it removing the superstratum,consisting of an upper tijick deposit of sandy gravel, with the clay, sfiile. co;ll, &c, i;i tti(, quarry a little west from the railway tunnel, near Falkirk, the section now exposed, about 2d feet deep, exhibits marks of powerful vol- canic action. Above the rock the stratum in one part is thrown into nearly the form of a circle, for the space of 12 feet, from the centre of which there appears a radiation, until the combustible materials had exhausted their force; to the west the convulsion appears to have also been considerable. The appear- ance was just observed when about seven yards north from the place were the workmen arc now engaged.— Edinburgh paper.

THE HURHICAVE or SUNDAY.—On Sunday, about four o'clock, the wind blew a perfect hurricane at Blackhenth, Charlton, &c., and very considerable damage has been done to 1 lIP. ornllmclltal trees, shrub- beries, &c., in Sir T. l. Wilson's park, and otli; r gentlemen's seats. So severe was the gale that nine of the most splendid elin trees in the park, and not exceeded for size and beauty in the county of Kent, were blown up in tl:e space of two minutes, anil were in that short period laid by their heads in the same direction, tearing up the ground to the depth of at least five feet. The gale rose to an immense height very suddenty.and appears to have done no mischief, except ill the linc which it took from WSW, but in that particu)ar line, for a certain (listai)c-p. it was irre- sistible. A person named TufTnell had a narrow escape, a large tree having been bio wn down upon him in the Woolwich Common Road, leading to the Dover Road, the upper branches brushing him as it fell. SAnK SII.VF.R MINEs.-The existence of a silver mine, like'y to be productive, in the island of Sark, appears to be no longer a matter of doubt. Very satisfactory and encouraging accounts of the undertaking have lately been published, and these have t'ince been confirmed by the discovery of silver ore in the 40.fathorn level (life zrf-;i,et depth jet attained), producing 639 oz. of fine silver to the ton of ore. It appears the ore improves both in quality and quantity as the works descend, and although the greatest depth at present attained compared to other m:neil is but very tr'fling, upwards of 15,000 oz. of silver have been raised, besides many tons of lead. There is a silver mine now working in Brittany, which has been producing a profit of £50,000 per annum for some time past, the characters of which are known to resemble that of Sark and, from the direction it bears, is not unlikely ro be a continuation of the same vein, as mineral veins have been traced to n much greater distance than that between Sark and Brittany.

TIORII JACK -Wo cipv the following interesting tale from the London East India Telegraph and Co- lonial Observer, a weekly newspaper, published on Thursday, and conducted in an admirable maimer, not only giving valuable accounts of every thing- of interest that persons in our Fast and West Indian possessions and the other colonies of Great Britain; but carefully recording every event of importance occurring at home that can have any relation to our transmarine territories, find we think it is a periodical that when sufficiently known will be eagerly sought after, not ollly at home but in the many places which Brii is!i spirit, industry, and capital have made like so mallV little "When encamped some years since in the lower part of Bengal,we often amused ourselves in tiger hunt- ing; the tijers being so numerous and daring, that we were invariably obliged to post double sentries round our camp, as single ones were sometimes rudelv sur- prised. Among tho many keen and fearless hunters in our regiment, Was one, pre-eminently so. and at tlk- same time one of the merriest,most entertaining fellows in the mess, who could tell a traveller's story, with embellishments, in such a masterly style, that even. if ou doubted some few of the particulars, the facts were so heautiful'y b'ended with fiction, you were even willing to give him credit for the whole His loss, therefore, we should have deeply felt, as well for these, as for his many other good qualities; and yet it was an occurrence we daily expected, knowing his passionate love of adventure.

It was immediately proposed to form a party and surprise her. Breakfast being soon des- patched, each officer (off dutv) retired to his tent, to prepare for the anticipated sport. flifles loaded, powder horns and bullet bags filled, elephants ready we all assembled at the time appointed, but he, who was generally the foremost in such incursions, wiis 'absent without leave.' Inquiries wore made, and to our consternation we found, that on leaving the mrs- teiit he had armed himself with a br-ecof pisto's, his rifle, and a Goorkah knife, and attended by one of villagers, had gone on foot in the direction of the tiger's ifeii. Dreading the consequences of his bold imprudence, we hastened to the spot, and there found our worst fears realised; he was lying, apparently lifeless, under the body of the dead tigress, the two cubs ttie meanwhile licking the blood from a ghastlv wound in the tore part of the thigh, the flesh of which was almost torn away from the bono as far as the knee; on being removed into camp, the surgeon, to our extreme joy, told us that he still lived, although he should deem his recovery a complete miracle; but under his unremitting care and skill he did recover; and shortly after gave us a thrilling account of his desperate fight. 'On leaving the camp, my guide told me he could Place me behind a tree, frotn which I could hive a fair shot if she was in her lair; but unfortunately her ladyship, as we approached the place, was about commencing a cruise, and we met rather mal-a-propos; she stood for a few seconds, and then commenced the crouching position, with her eyes flashing flre, evidently making tip her mind for an attack. I felt my situation, but there was no retreat —up rifle—bang—and down she dropped. I sprung forward with a shout of joy. and was much delighted with the idea of the laugh I should have against you all, as I was with my narrow escape I then com- menced examining her head, as I knew a wound there from the position she was in when I fired, could alone have brought tier so suddenly to the earth, but never a bole could I find. On her forehead there was a small mark, and the skin slightly broken; strange, thought I; but to tell the tru,ii, I lia(i no much time for reflection, for the beast jumped up and caught me by the thigh, and trotted off very composedly. The excruciating pain of being dragged in this uncere. monious manner was rather unplerlsant, so I begged the assistance of one of her ears with my left hand, which relieved my thigh of my weight, and with the other I drew a pistol and shot her in the body, but it seemed to have no other effect than to make her grip more savagely. By this time wo arrived at home, and she hid me in an admirable position to make her own meal off my body, whilst her twolittle pets could play away at my legs, a mode of proceeding I did not feci at all inclined to sanction; but becoming very weak and faint, and fearing that I might lose time by attempting anything with my knife, I grasped my other pistol, and placing the muzzle under her breast, where I perceived a heaving, occasioned no doubt by the wound I had previously given her, I hred, and here I ain, thanks to an ever kind Providence, and good friends." Jack still lives in the enjoyment of a staff appo ntment, shouts tigers, but only from an elephant, and tells as good a story as ever.

Itiscotiiflletitly stated this morning at the west end of the town that ministers themselves tire convinced ihey shall hrddeated on Lord Sandon's resolution relating to the sugar duties on Friday next, anil it is supposed the object of Lord Melbourne's visit to iudsor is to prepare her Majesty tor the expected result. M.tnv persons are decidedly of opinion that parliament will be d issol ved in the course of next week. —Standard, Wednesday. The following is an analysis of the division on tile second clause of Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill, the question being, "That this clr.use do stand parl of tlw hill For the clause (tellers included) 291 Against the clause (tellers included).302 Paired off 23 on each side 40 Ministerialists absent 14 Conser*ativt s absent 8 Spea ker and Chairman 2 Total 658 The vote of the \vorking majority," which was last week in jeopardy, has been cut off and added lo j the opposition: Nottingham has elected Mr Walter in the room of Sir Ronald Ferguson. Within the half year the very small majority (if it may still be termed a majority) has lost five votes — Walsall, Can- terbury, Monmouthshire, Carlow county, and Not- tingham, The last blow was the least expected. For 30 rears Nottingham had been in the hands of the Whigs. At the last election the .Ministerial can- didates. Sir Joint Hobhouse and General Ferguson, were returned by a majority of more than 490 over the two opposition candidates: now the oppositionist is returned by a majority of 238. But here there is not only the blow ti) ilic strength, but to their great measure, the New Poor Law. Though Mr Walter is a Tory to all intents and purposes, and his votes will tell for the Toiies in the house, it is as the bitter enemy of the New Poor Law that he is returned. The ministerial journals derive what consolation they can from that f;ict, tii(i deduce from it tiiat it wa's no party triumph at Nottingham; but it. was a party defeat; and, taken in conjunction with the recent defeats in tiie House of Commons, it cannot be denied that it has contributed to place ministers in a position much worse than they have before occupied et-eii worse 111'111 they themselves — who must all along have been most conscious of their o-ni feebleness, want of purpose, and want of courage—could have foreboded. I'fiey may go on. as Lord llowick anticipates, for "another session;" but in order to do thai, they must enforce better rii.idj'tiiii: among ihelr Radical retainers, and lay a strict injunction on their Whig voters not to die and subject them to another half dozen elect ions.—Spectator. A correspondent, adverting to the effort of the Scotch bankers to protect their own interests from encroacllllltnts lIy any act of the committee of the House of Commons points out as one of the conse- quences of their small note circulation, the advantage given to the Scotch manufacturers over those ol Kngland, all evil which has generally been kept out of view in all former discussions on the subject. The eflect is. as he rem irks, "that production and overtrading are stimulated in Scotland to a fearful extent, and the English markets are deluged with their commodities, to the injury of tlleir English competitors, who arc necessarily denied, under the hard money system, those facilities by their bankers, which are readily aflnrded by the Scotch bankers issuing £ 1 notes." Certainly, amnng the mischiefs inflicted, through the subserviency of a weak Ministry lo what is termed Parliamentary influence," tiiere are few to be compared with that submitted to in sanctioning one kind of paper circulalion for Scot- laud, differing from that prescribed for lingland, and manifestly prejudicial to the commercial interests 01 the latttr, the more important section of the united 11 kingdom. It is to be hoped that the committee, whatever el-e they may do, will at least remove this stigma, for bad measures become doubly bad when they are also tainted with partiality.— Times. On Saturday afternoon a very alarming occurrence ,11, I)v :1 s took place iu lid ward Street, Brighton, by a spirited horse belonging to a gentleman named Craven having broken away from a stable in that street and placed the lives of several persons iu the greatest peril. On dashing out of the "table yard tlie animal came in contact with a funeral procession wliii li was passing at the moment, an 1 knocked down the coliiu bearers and corpse, and the men were sligntly injured. Sumo females who were following itS mourners fainted. The greatest excitement existed at the painful ocur- reuce, and it was some time before tlie teeliogs of ihe relatives were sufficiently eompos-d for the body to be conveyed to its last resting pla e The horse pur sued its impetuous course for some distance, but was ultimately stopped without doing further injury, although several persons narrowly escaped being knocked down. We understand that for three or four months past two men, armed with guns, have been prowling about amongst the hills on the borders of Lancashire and Yorkshire, committing a number of jobberies and outrages of the most audacious kind. They are believed to be two notorious poachers named Briggs and Dickenson from the neighbourhood of Bolton by Bowland, near Clitheroe. These men are suspected to have committed the robberies and outrages near Bacup described in recent newspapers; and more recently they appear to be carrying on their atrocious proceedings in the northern part of the We»t Riding of Yorkshire. It appears from the Kendal Mercury of Saturday last, that on the preceding Tuesday, as Mr J. Wignall, butter buyer, was on his road to Hawes market, about 0 or 7 o'clock in the morning, he came in company, when crossing the Stake, a very It 11 -Ti I solitary and mountainous district, with a man on foot, who went with him some distance, although Mr Wignall was on horseback; and when they came to a certain part of the road, a gun was fired at him from behind a wall, but fortunately the contents did not effect the murderous intention. The picce had been loaded with hail shot, about half a dozen of which had penetrated Mr Wigoall's head and face, hut without doing him much injury. He immediately put bis animal to full speed, and left the villains to ruminate on what they would no doubt consider their bad fortune. TI.ere were carts not more than a quarter of a mile I-ehl "I I at the time, and some people were not very far btfore, whom Mr Wignall soon overtook, and related to them what had happened. The circumstance scon became generally known in the neighbourhood, and several young men volun- teered their services lo go in pursuit of the villains. It fell to the lot of one party, consisting of a constable and another man, to t'ack them towards Horton, near Settle, where, steppirg into a farm house to make inquires concerning :he men, they beheld the very persons of whom thfy were in quest, quietly drying their stockings by the fire; they instantly seized hold of them, when a scufle took place, and they all four rolled Oil the fluor together, in which pnsition oue of the men (the constable) had his hand and cheek dreadfully lacerated by the teeth of his antagonist. One of the villains succeeded in drawing a pistol, when the constable ind his man, put to the flight, and totally worsted, retreated to Settle. Hitherto, we are sorry to Say, these desperadoes have not been appre- hended but as their names and persons are known, they canm t longescipe the pursuit which is now mak- ing after them in a,'f di.ections. -Preston C^roriids,

L.,ITI:Si' INTEL LI GENC E. HOUSE OF COMMONS, —WEDNESDAY, MAY;), The House proceeded with Ihe committee on the COflllfy Coroners' Bill, on which 'here were several divisions. The most material of them were on Ihe clauses touching the right of elec- tion. It was decided that iiii4 right should belong only to residents; and then, oil the question for confining it to the present L'arlia mentary electors, an amendment was proposed by Mr Hume for allowing it to ail resident fiee- holders assessed lo the poor's rate. This being negatived, another amendment was proposed by Mr Jerv:», for leaving the franchise in all tlie resident freeholders of the county and this was adopted- The other clauses of this bill were of no gene- ral interest, though they occupied the whole of the evening. The question of the Danish claims, on which it was expected tha' Ministers would have sus- tained another defeat, was thus prevented from receiving the cOllsiùeration or lhe HOUiiC ulltil a flllure day. THURSDAY E\T.\INO, MAY 6. Cabinet Council was I (I at the Foreign Office, to-day at two o'clock. All the ministers were present. Lord Melbourne came express from Windsor Castle to attend the Council.

M ERTilYR TYDVTL, AND RRECON, May S, 1S4 1. I- Before the present number of the Gazelle and Guardian reaches the hands of our readers, a large proportion of them will have heard from public report and the London priss, of the poli- tical storms and incipient political revolutions of the close of last and comnn ncement of the present week, with astonishmi nt if not alarm. hir parliamentary summary will necessarily disclose to view sortie of the features, if not the causes, of the present altered and altering con- dition of public alfiirs, to which it will be our business to supply the key by a few brief mar- ginal notes. Upon the final defeat and withdrawal of Lf)ril dishonest proposition for the perpetuation of electioneering frauds in Ireland. under pretence of a Registration and Qualifi- cation Bill, so framed in prlllciple as 10 facilitate and extend them, rumours were rife about ministerial resignations, but unprofitable of Irllth as they have been before on many similar occasions of late years. Adhesive of place, and undismayed by (lefea s, to which Ilahi- tuated as much and as often as the great ISLINGTON to victories, the Ministry sought only by some device, rqually bold, cunning and unprincipled as the Irish Bill, but more effec- tive to its end, not to retrieve disgrace, for to that they were insensible, but to avert its consequences not to vindicate their honour and honesty, for that could be achieved by their resignation only but to retain their official position and regain their slender majority. In pursuan e of foregone conclusions, accordingly, 011 the presentation of the Budget by the CllAN- CELI.Olt of the EXCHEQUER, on Friday evening, the last day of April (a budget such should have been opened on the first, or, All Foo!s' Day), that right honourable gentleman an- nounced a deficit on the income of the financial estimate for 1811-2, as compared with expendi- ture, of C2,421,000, The Expenditure being. 950,731,000 Income 48,310,000 The deficit upon the last year's budget has been already verified at £ 1,842,000 expenditure over income, whereas the CII.WCELI.OR of the Ex- CHEQUER estimated it only at £ 858,000. An attempt was made to show that from the forth- coming deficit for 1841-2 should be deducted £ 591,000, for the charges of the war against China and the Navy debt, but unless these charges are borne by the East India Company, or exacted from the Chinese, it is clear thev must come out of the Treasury, as they will have to come, wi'h every prospect, according to the advices front China just received, of prov- ing a more permanent source of expenditure than was allowed for. With such a Budget, such a deficit, and such defeats, all productive of exasperation, it was deemed expedient to work by counter process of irritation on the public mind in behalf of a Ministry in plight so desperate; that is, it was resolved if possible to rcT"ieve; to rub off, long score of former misdeeds, allullwisc an rf unpatriotic, and some unpopular, by a suddet muster of intended measures, some of which lird been agitated for partially by busy sections cf the manufacturing interests, a'.lof which werer i questionable or destructive policy, and some had been so denounced and decried by themselves. S:) Mr BAKING wound up his Budget, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL clinched it, by announcing to II e astonished legislature that Ministers proposed to reduce the duty on foreign sugar; to raise tl:r I duly on Canadian timber, but to reduce it tn BaUic and finally to repeal the Corn Laws, I and let in fureign corn at a small duty. litre then is the ministerial clapirap for popularity Corn Law repeal is to be run against New Poor Law aholition, and to console the poor for short commons in workhouse gaols, they are mocked with the chance of a cheap loaf when out; as if the low price a loaf ivculd not necessirily produce lower wages, without which, if the manufac Jiiriug agitators may themselves be believed, they cannot stand the competition of Germany. Switzerland, Belgium, and generally the Conti- nent of Europe. Let our operative and indus- trious friends of the mining and mallufacturirg classes take heed to the effect of a repeal of tl e Corn Laws. According to tlie Tables of Reve- nile and Population (in which the number o! tlie agricultural population is mischievously and falsely underrated) the number of fautilie.- directly employed in agriculture in the Unit" d Kingdom is stated at. 1,825,473 Or say of souls 9,100,(00 Now suppose one half the land now so used to be thrown out of tillage, and the reality would be still greater, by the repeal of the Corn L;tw, the result would be that assuredly more t!.an half a million of rural labourers would be thrown out of work, and exposed to utter starvation, unless by offering for, and getting work at, wages reduced by one half or two thirds, they colild displace the miners or other manufacturing operatives, who in turn would be cast beggars upon the world. Hear nnd ponder on this inevitable result of Corn Law repeal ye honest and industrious excavators and workers of those precious minerals with which the mounlains of Wales are pregnant; those mountains, ever, as it were, in the throes of labour as ye bring forth and fashion their inva- deposits it-iiidst tike fierce blaze of eteriial fires, the deafening dim of a thousand Vulcanic hammers, and the thundering roar of steam fed bellows We shall return to this "deeply interesting subject next week, perhaps again and again.
