I JIK. i -) ()D Pri^.iy bit Mr Whalhy met his consii'uents, by invitation. tt Peterbomirli, fir the pupo3C of discussing thl) leading questions now occupying the attention of pariisrr. Oil li,ing to address the meeting, Mr Whalley said- I thank you fjr inviiing mc tu this meeting- -it affords liD opportunity (»f expressing my views upon the Reform h I 'J 1 P I' qileUIIII which I lonlJ not so appropriately Jo in Par l ia- ment—seeing thiit I cannot pretend to any position in that House which would compensate by any weight of tistinifny that I could give for the dulay !I!.J interrup- tion to the progress of public business, which results • j m members gpcakin.^ to their lonstitucnts through medium. A friend of criue, a liberal member, ex- ^stj to mo his opinion, that if the votes on Rbf.nn V'l'ie taken l>v ballot, lie thought that ten would Le the outside of those in favour of it. If this wete so, I Lti-, ♦fissuro vou that I should be one of (he ten, and I will I10W teil you tho grounds for that feeling, btrerigtheDed as it is bv the discissions which I have listened ti) ill Parliament in the subject, aud mainly ileiived from those interminable arguments of our opponents which, whether so unsigned or not, to> undoubtedly endanger the surcess of tin* mcasuie. I hope that the public, by nicotinsjs like this, and by petition?, will insist on the (j.ivernment and the House doing its duty, and that they will as it deserves, and extho I-ilui%-n tactit"i of the opposition. The main point fl of attack, both in the IIouso out, is that which was tin'most prominently brought forward by Mr Whiteside, and 1 have no doubt that very many good reformer?— mcii who feel as it were a personal duty tti (io something to avert those administrative disa-iU l.i which, whenever the Government operations are disclosed to view, me a dislace to the nation—such as the Crirnenfi War-tiiu navy expellùiturc-thr, army clothing mid rommissati-.t, Blld any and every one oi tflose mure select nooks in which our seventy millions a-yetr i3 absorbed, to so great an extent, for the injuiy, instead of the promotion of the public service. I say that I can well understand that many, who may feel the necessity for some change that shall remedy this growing evil of profuse expendi- ture and corresponding maladministration, may pause and hesitate as to whether matters will be mended by f placing power in the bands of that class, who exhibit in r' their strikes and trade combinations such facility, for being I misled—such error in their views of their own interests, as identified with the trades with which they are con- nected, and such true British obstinacy in accepting ruin, starvation, and death, rather than yield up their undoubtedly wrong opinions in these matters. Now, I will tell you why I think that the Reform Bill is ren- dered more necessary, for the very reason that those who take Mr Whiteside's views oppose, or are doubtful of it. I I will assume that these Irade Unions and the strikes, and I course of proceedings, which they dictate, are all wrong I. —that they are not only injurious to the men engaged in them, but that they strike at the very root of the trade, commerce and manufactures of this country, tending, as I believe they do, to diminish enormously the capital that, but for the risks to which it is thus exposed, would be devoted to trade, building, and manufactures, to the benefit chiefly of these working men, who thus frighten it away and in no slight degree injurious to the national interests, involved as we are, in the keenest possible competition with other countries. I will admit all this to be so, and will go further and say—unpopular as the sentiment may be that there is no more injurious legislation in any country in the world than that in which Parliament, at the instance, in a great degree, of these Trade Unions, is constantly engaged in what ia called protecting workmen against their masters. I am not censuring manufacturers on the one hand, nor am I in- Bonsible to the worth and integrity of character which characterises the working classes of this country; there is no man in England that has a higher opinion of them than I have,or more confidence ia the soundness of their judgment, when fairly.and properly called into action, and to apeak thus candidly to them—conscious as I am myself of meaning well to them, and willing and anxious to have my views corrected, and to change my opinions on fair argument—this is the best proof I can give of the sincerity of my friendship to them. Then how, you ask, does this apply to the Reform Bill P Thlls-hy ad- mitting them to political privileges you give them a po- sition of power (assuming as I do that the Reform Bill will in this respect do what its opponents charge it with) that it will enable them to dispenso with those Trade Unions, which carried on in the holes and corners where the lice air of public opinion cannot enter, will be no ]i'n:'i-: iiecessary, when they can be fairly and fully j ',o open arena of Parliament. Secondly—With ) n. so formidable men of the Trcrlring classcs, who ].aiivnd public meetings like this, with a conscious- ness iiut their power ends with the cheer with which they gieet their favourite sentiment?, would be associ- ated that sense of responsibility which wviill tempcraud moderate their viets on public alf:t.r2, to that calm tone which is alone adapted to the ordinary dispatch of busi- ness. But thirdly and above all, this would be tbe result, that men aspirins; to Parliament, would be compelled to study these great social queeti and master tli.-m, and not only so, but must quality themselves for meeting on an equal platform the keen wits and the practised ex- perience of those men and those classes en whose votes they would have to rely. As it is now, no such > qualifications are required in parliamentary candidates, and far worse than tiny waut of knowledge on their part is the loss which the working classes themselves sustain ) in beiug deprived of the views of men, who, looking at these matters from points of view different to their own, and possessed of leisure and means to acquire for their instruction all that is to be lpaml on the aubju't, would be to them an invaluable substitute for those leaders amongst their own class, who, as a general rule, can nei- ther be so disinterested, so well informed, or so capable of seiving them. This tben, in my opinion, would bethocflVut of the Reform Bill; that in so far as it transferred power to thu workin g classes it would bring tLem out from their Trades' Unions, in which alone they can now find cither sympathy, support, or information, on to the open platform of Parliament, and there, while they would command for all their just rights, full pro- tection, they would be themselves better enabled to ascertain their true interests, as well as to secure that just and necessary protection. I will mention in illus- tration of what I mean an incident which made a great impression on my mind in In that year, the town of Newtown, in Montgomeryshire, a sent of the fttnnel tiade had been nearly ruined by a succession of stiikes and quarrels between masters anI) men, and as the for- mer gradually withdrew their capital the latter seemed wore and more determined not to yield, believing that they were engaged in a contest of right against ELigitt. In passing through that town 1 found that a certain de- gree of popularity which I had previously enjoyed, had entirely disappeared, and that a speech and vote which I had made in Parliament had exposed me to the charge of ingratitude and I know not what towards those who had, on a recent occasion, manifested great enthusiasm (Jfl my behalf. Instead of professing an indifference, which I really did not ftel, for I entertained very great respect for tho disinterested friendship of these working fflon of Newtown, I determined to Rflht it out, as it were, ana at once called a public meeting, at which, I should think thuie weie present 1,000 people, and having heard the views of those who were my opponents, I replied to them, and the discussion jiroc-eeded, till at length by the mere exercise of a little patience and perseverance, they idl appeared at once to have, as it were, the scales 1 e- tnoved from their eyes, and with the exception of, I ùe- lieve, seven of their leaders, nil unanimously accepted my views—resolved to act upon them, and I would lain believe, that that meeting, so casually convened, and so little premeditated, exercised a permanent influence for good upon the trade of Newtown and all dependent upon H, One of the speakers on that occusion said that the cause of all their disagieemcnt? was that no one took any Interest in the working classes—to guide, instruct, sup- port, or persuade them, and that they of necessity, com- Lining amongst themselves, could only see these questions from their own point of view, and the masters being, or being supposed to be equally prejudiced and keeping aloof by a sense of pride or position, there was no possi- bility of errors being di.sipated or good will restored ex- C pl; by a process of mutual exhaustion. Now, the remedy which I was thug accidentally the means of af- fording in this case would be always at hand in every borough in the kingdom—if, as the opponents of the Ite- ionn Bill assume, the political power will be to anv sen- sible extent in the hands of the working classes, for they vill then have plenty of advisers, such as I was on this Occasion. Another point which the Conservative paity though almost afraid openly to tjtpress, yet evidently Ictair¡ deep in their thoughts is, that in just the degree in political power ia transferred to the workers of the Community, will be the tendency to raise the taxes from realized property—and this too, is so far my belief as to Brake it one of the chief benefits that I anticipate from the Reform Bill. This is the old question between direct and indirect taxation, ill other words, whether all the shopkeepers of the country shall be made use of as tax collectors, by charging to their customers half as touch again for all they have to sell—the one half being more or less the natural price and value of the articles, nd the other a tax which goes only about one-half of It into tbe Exchtquer, fand the other half into their own Pockets, as the fair and necessary cost of this most ini- quitous and ruinous mode of collection. I have so olten °'scussed this question here, that 1 will not now enter at any length into it, but will merely say that as the Strikes and trades unions will be prevented in so far as lOll give real politi Gal power to the working classes, so I am confident that the owners of property, who now as ? etaM, If.uk upon direct taxation as a species of spolia- j. >0n, Wiil, by having their attention enforced to the ? jHct, if ueh should be the effect of tha Reform t1¡ nnd, that of aU the classes that will derive benefit rom huch a change in the mode of raising the taxes they would be tbe most benefited. I never was more con- of any truth political or other in my life. an that property—realised property, would be increased 11 vnlue if all the taxes of the state were raised from it, 0 the entire abolition of those modern instruments ol Rational impoverishment—the customs and excise. Those hu may deride such opinions, would do well to cou- elJer thut their opinions to the contrary cannot be strong- tr than those by which free trade in corn aud the other steps in this great march of national regeneration, was opposed and delayed and feeling as I do so intensely on t us subject, I will ask you to listen to what I have pro- Plscd to myself to do—independently of the Reform .tilll, ,10 promote these views. The piinciple of direct nation has been rendeied—I am afraid I must say, aI- of purpose unpopular, and most grievously oppres- Sive, demoralizing, and unjust by including within its Present operation the profits of trades and professions— schedule D. of the income tax. Now I want to  the piinciple of dirtct taxation freed from this tous blot. I want to see it put on the same footing as e P00r ?te assessment, and with that view I have— %-h the concurrence of many inuuential gentlemen in II Uouse of Commons, giyeu notice of an intention to movt; fAr a committee on the subject. It was not con- I siden cl expedient to for sutl4 committee until the j diaeiisdoin on th;; budget v,-as concluded, but I trust 9 u:i to be in a position to to sn, and I have in antieipn- r tl J Jon prepared a memorandum of thu yiounda on which II prop :so to ask for the support of the HOU5. And I think it i3 not out of phiCo to submit to you. and if poi. j I. to obtain your approval of the general teopc and ubjvot of that motion, end of t}w ML'?us h<; ,Lich I oiopo.o Lo  to rc a,! carry it out, and 1 therefore 8ok permission to read it toyou. I The n')¡lOn of iv?liic" I have siven notice id a? Mows: "f. 1 t 't L n t t .ad a £0 ec C0n:rUl ce appointed to c.msidor end t ¡ n t t' t' n rcpvrt to t?,? Il OUSJ as to tLo present mode ot assessing the p?pcr?y and income t?x, and whether the same might not he advantageously altered with a view to a inoro cqui.able assessment of the various descriptions of piopcity end sources of income, having rt-gnrj to tin) principle that all descriptions of jitupctly shoul.l lie assessed according to the ability rL- presented thereby as in ti.o e.iso of assessment ior the relief of the poor and other local buruccj. The following is the memorandum as to the nature raj J object of the inquiry proposed by the motion. 1st.—Taking I up the inquiry where it ",lis Jeft I y lr Hume's c'-mraittoo I in 18o2, it is proposed to obtain evidence of the opera- tion of the Income Tax since that period, i specially as regards the tax on proiits of (rath; and protlsstuils linl,r shedulo I>. At that period the property and income tax v. iti regarded as temporary, which may account for the tnmnaLtcG,having laid the evidence before the House wiliuut a report, ri I (I the following statement of Mr Okidftone may p^rliapa embody substantially the opinion of that committee—" We sympathise with the feeling, that the income bears more hardly en trade and professions—on industry and skill, than it bears upon property, but we feel at the same time, an entire conviction that this sympathy could not be practically carried out in a reconstruction of the tax, without pro- ducing evils far greater than any good which could be effected by tlio change." To which may bo added the following expressive summary of the whole ease as re- schedule, I),—Alluding to the speech of Sir Ed- ward B. Lytton, Mr Gladstone stated "That the Hon. i Baronet had exhausted all the stores of his rhetoric, in setting forth tne hardships—what hardships ? the bard- ships of the landed interests, nu, but the hardships of those whose enterprise, aud whose intelligence, and whose skill constitute as the lion. hart. said, their only | property, and whose continued good health is their only j guarantee." Hansard vol. — page 8—And the fol- lowing from the rmue Li^h authority in the debate on the 9th of May, 1S53, confirms the conclusions that it was the temporary character of the tax, which pre- vented its revision in 1853-11 1 will not talk about its termination in lSGO, I have given my own opinion that it ought to be considered as a temporary tax and ought not to form part of the permanent and ordinary system of finance of this country." In addition, therefore, to obtaining evidence of the operation of the tax since 1852, it has become necessary to consider this property and income tax as a permanent instead of a temporary source of revenue. The following extracts from the evidence, confirm the supposition, that it was on aecjunt of its supposed temporary nature that the committee abstained from reporting upon the evidence—and also point to the necessity of a complete revision of toe tax in the existing event of its becoming permanent. Mr Hyde, a collector whose experience extended back to 180-1, states—ques- tion 2402. The longer the tax continues the more ac- quainted and instructed people will got how to evade it, and more evasions will probably take place. The evasions under schedule C. are equally extensive as under schedule A.—the evasions under schedule D. are very numerous. The law under schedule D. is wron" in its foundation," and question 2" The evasions and frauds now commuted are much greater than in 1801 and lS05,and, again, 2d37. The law is excessively difficult, which charges property in the hands of owners under schedule A. aud he quotes in- j stances, and adds 'Being upon schedule A, I would observe, the frauds are excessively e?eMive," and quotes an item from an accountant's bill against some landowner in Hertfordshire, as follows" To enable you to evade income tax payment,1 a laborious and In- tricate work—0 guineas,"—and 2393 in answer to the question of the chairman—" Can any means in your opinion be adopted to prevent these frauds and evasions," he replies, I have thought of it and tried to work it, and have travelled thousands of miles thinking of it, but I think it impossible." If the law is to continue," he states, The whole country should be assessed by districts instead of boroughs." Mr Pressley, probably the highest existing authority on the subj ect, states in reference to schedule D. I think the longer the tax exists, the evasions will go on under schedule D." and Mr Henleva member of the committee having stated, as a question, ''The longer the tlx coutinuc3 the more acquainted and instructed people will get how to evade it, arid more evasions will take place." The reply is No question." And this is strilciugiy confirmed in the case of schedule D. by the fact that the revenue under that schedule h-vs grcaily declined in comparison with the other schedules. r Welsh states now it is quite impossible in its present state to suggest any means by which evasions or frauds can be prevented and Mr Walker (1317) speaks to the same cfiect. Tho above quotations which be multiplied to almost any extent sufficiently explain, why, so long as this tax was supposed to be of a temporary nature, no practical object would bo attained by reportiog upon such cvi- dence, inasmuch as such report could only have increas- ed dissatisfaction at the injustice to which,as a temporary tax, it is evident that the committee deemed it the least evil to submit. The practical quesiion, however, that presents itself in proposiug a renewed inquiry is this, assuming that the tax is now to be regarded as a permanent source of revenue—is there any special remedy to which sucii inquiry may bo usefully directed? and if so, what is it—and the [ following observations by Mr Ricardo.oneof the mom* bers of the comnnttde, In tL? delicto "n April 2?tij, )S?; ] lansart', vol. — p. — is a satisfactory answer to liie question" stripped of ail extraneous matter, the whole evidence went to prove that if there Were any way of chu-sitying the income tax, it was only by means of a piopertv tax," and the main object on the pait of iho mover of the resolution, is to adduce evidence to prove 1iIHt, that the injustice as regards individuals, aud ihe injury social, moral, and commercial as affecting the whole community, does imperatively demand a remedy. Second—That even assuming that Mr Jlieardo's is the only reuiedy which the case admits that it should forth- with be adopted. ith respect to the first proposition very little further evidence beyond that adduced in ] 8-52, it ia presumed will be necessary. In support of the second proposition, evidence it is believed will be forth- coming, that tho ouiiers of property j who by the propos- ed change, will be subjected to an increase of charge, will be fully compensated by the increased value which property of all kinds will receive by the freedom tflus given to labour, skill, and trading capital, on the abun- dance of which the value of teal property depends. In aid of the genolal principles of political economy, bear- ing upon this subject wry important evidence can be adduced from our own legislation in these matters. By the supply act of 4, William and Mary, a tax was levied of four shillings in the pound on goods, wares i.nd chatties or personal estates whatsoever, and tbe operatiou of this: Act will he shown to have been ofsouihicult and impme- ticablc a nature as to have in efleet repealed itself. The income tax acts of Mr Pit of 1803, and subse- quently of Mr Addington, and Lord Ileury Petty, in 1806, and tbe subsequent Acts up to 1810, will, it ia be- lieved be shown to have exhausted every means for making personal property, either a legitimate ur profit- able source of revenue. While in England, however, personal property continued until the close of the war, to contribute to the national taxes, being regarded through- out as a temporary tax, evidence can be adduced that whenever this system of direct taxation has been recog- nized as permanent-all the efforts and experiments for bringing into charge personal property, corresponding with" that included in the present income tax, under schedulde D have resulted in the adoption of Mr Kicardo's remedy, a property tax, and that too, with the general assent of the party immediately affected thereby, viz., the owners of real property. TiVidence will bo ad- duced from Holland, the Channel Islands, and various sources showing that it ia imptaeticabje to nii-e aditect revenue from ijersoDal property or proiits. Ihe case of tbe English poor into is the mot-t striking instance in point. By the Act, of 45 of Elizabeth, it is provided that inhabitants should be taxed according to their ability. And under this Act inhabitants as such were in respect of their ability derived from the profits of stock in trade and other property. That this was done common consent, and that the owners of real property throughout the kingdom freely and voluntary reeo-uised the expediency of accepting the entire charge of titeae local burthens, and of exonerating therefrom what we may call schedule D. will clearly appear by what took place in Parliament 1810. About that time tbe change in the property of tithes by commutation into rent-charge placed the clergy in a position of disadvantage in respect of tins mode of assessment to local burthens, and hav- ing no longer a common interest in the progress of the agriculture or trade of their rcspectcd districts, they in- sisted that the profits of stock in trade, should be brought into the assessment, and the courts of law re- cognized the legality of their claim. In the year IS 10, an Act was :passel 3 and 4 Vict., chap. 89, repealing tho liability to taxation, in respect of profits of stock-in- trade, kc., and the following is the recital of that Act:— "Whereas it has been held that the inhabitants of parishes, townships aud villages as such inhabitants are liable in respect of theit ability derived from the profits of stock-in-trade, and of other properties to be taxed for, and towards the relief of the poor, aud it is expedient to repeal the liability of inhabitants, as such to be so tax- ed. And Sir John Campbell, (then attorney general) by whom the bill was introduced, after stating that it had been found utterly impossible, that a; rate on stock- in-trade could be so remodelled as to be free from legal objections, added, "That in fact the law had become quite odious, and except in very few instances, no attempt had been made to enfore it. Then the bill made that law which was at present usage." This Act was passed for one year only, and it is a further confnmatmn of the general assent to the principle recognized therein, and which it is now sought to apply to the equally perman- ent system of direct taxation for national purposes, that this Act has from time to time been renewed with searce. ly an objection from any party or person in the House of Commons. In anticipation of objection, however, on the part of owners of land as distinguished from House and other property, indicating ability to bear taxation on the part of the occupiers, beyond the rental value of such property. There can be little doubt that the trading and protessional interests of the country would readily pur- chase exoneration from the intolerable inquisition aud injustice of schedule D. by an increased rate on House and other property of that description, if the result of this investigation should demand it, either as just or ex- pedIent. There is one other point on which the mover of the resolution anticipates that important evidence will j I be fVtlicoming—namely, tho demoralizing influences on trade n'-i eorhmerre, of a sys'em which oiffirs so unim- Si: and d'rect prenuirn to frr.inl and ovs-suns, a point which W-.9 dwelt upon in the debates of ] ;;j3 r.y the nv-ver ¡¡.Ii hy o-hcis.

The inquiry took place at lhrnian House Asylum, Ilenley ia Ardeu, in whicii estiblisli.nent Mr Rowley has been under restraint for about nine months. The evidence of the medical witnesses showed tnat he was sunj^ct to a number of cxtraoidinary delu- sions. lie frequently asserted that he was Chiist, tut was more commonly under the imptessini that tho (Ineen was his sister and Prince Albert his brother, lie said the place in which he then to him, and that he had given two millions and seventy- five pounds for it; that he was fond of hunting, nnd had caught iu London thirty foxes in a d-iy end that ho had a remarkable horse, seventy-five hands in height, which he used t') mount by means of a ladder; that he was a great walkor, and could any time walk one hundred miles a day, that he could manage that distance in twenty-five hours, and continue the opera; ion for twenty years. He was under the delusion that lie was the richest man in England, and that he JJa,1 .£7 ;i,OOO,{J(}O in the Bank of England, sixty in a bank at Glasgow, arid as much nt Spo iner and ittwood's.

Tho questions put to Mr Rowley by the coirmissioner elicit- ed confirmation of all the delusions spoken to by the medical men. Mr Rowley, however, added that he had property at Henley in A rden, consisting of some three hundred acres of land, which he had bought cheap, hav- ing only given six milllions for it; and that he knew the commissioner perfectly well, and that he was Mr Spooner, tne mcm oer lor IV arwicksllire, and one ot tne gentlemen at whose bank he had his money. When Mr Rowley mentioned that the Queen was his sister, be evidently appeared much puzzled at the query of the commissioner, if that was so, how it was that he was not King. The commissioner signed the necessary forms declaring Mr I Rowley of unsound mind, and incapable of maua-in- his alfiirs.—Manchester Taper. F.EIILFUL PIT EXPLOSION NEAR WEIINESBUUY.—On 11 Saturday morning another of those colliery accidents fraught with peril to life and limb, for which the mining district is notorious, occurred at Gospel Oak, near Wedues. bury. Messrs. Aston and Grazebrook have some pits ad- joining the works of Phillip Williams, Esq., and it has been known for some time past that one portion of the workings was filled with that explosive gaseous compound, known among miners as "fire damp." Under such circum- stances more than ordinary care ha3 been used, and all went on safely till Saturday morning; about seven o'clock when one of the men down in another part of the workings observed that the water, which had run along a sort of valley, and separated the safe from the unsafe portion of tho pit, was rapidly draining off, and knowing full well that as the water diminished the "fire damp" would rush in, he, with one or two others, put the candles out they had with them. lie also ran along the workings some 20 or 30 yards to shout out to another miner named Ward, who also had a candle alight, but the latter appears to have been so paralysed with fear that he was unable to move to extinguish his light. Before John Caùmall-for that is the name of the man who shouted to Ward—had time to put the candle out himself, a terrible explosion occurred, whiqh knocked all the men down and burnt them more i or less severely. Fortunately there were only four men in the pit at the time, or the conseq uences must have been far more serious. As it is, Thos. Cadman, the butty, was burnt so frightfully, both externally and internally, that he expired next morning. This unfortunate man was so con.j.i^eU' t'h.im o a head to waist that he was almost unrecognisable. His ornther, JohD Cadman, a fine robust mail, Was severely burnt about the head and face but will doubtless recover. Joseph Owen was seriously injured in various parts of the body, and but little hope is eutertaiucd of his recovery. Ward had all his clothes on, aud there- fore escaped with slighter irliariet3 than his companiono. Some idea of the terrific force of the explosion may be formed from the fact that a man named Edward Evan?, find a girl, who were standing at the top of the shaft—1 GO yards deep—were blown up into the ai;, but fortunately d d not fail do-vn the pit in their defeat. The girl, wbo was assisting the lianksaian, received a compound fracture of the leg and other injuries aud Evans, who was prepariag to go down to the pit, was seriously if not fatally hnrt. Tilt: waggou at the top of the shaft was blown away, and i ;to framevvoik of the pit Was shaken from its seat.—llir- i minjham Tost. lloiiBEttY OF £ 11,000 IN BANK.

Spittai, n de- tective officer belonging to t:!e city of London police force, who was down here on business, looking after a ,eu lecntit who is wanted" for a robbery of £ 3000, went to Scott's assistance when apprehending the prisoners, and at once recognised them as well-knoiva members of the London well-mob. ile knew both their names and residences, and was not surprised at all to find that they had been iloing a little bus.iiic.is in Liverpool. Spittl at once proceeded to London in company with Mr llaigh, and ou Monday morning watched the delivery of the letters in the locality in which th-, prisom-rs resided. As the officer anticipated, a registered letter was duly delivered to oue of the prison- er's wives; aud no sooner was the precious packet placed in her hands, aud before she hud time to congraluhtte her- self upon the receipt of such unexpected wealth, than she found herself ill tho hands of the police, who conveyed her to prison. During the morning a a telegram was received from SpitUl by the LLiver- pool police informing them of the capture of the worn all and the recoverv of the whole of the stolen bills of exchange. The prisoneis were rem inded until Wednesday, fur the attendance of Spittal and the woman from Loudon. Great credit is due to Detective-ofiieer Scott far the intelligence he displayed in the capture of the prisoners. There is no doubt that if he Had not ap- prehended them as he did the fellows would have got clear ufr widl their THE PHANTOMWIIECK.— Lieutenant Jullien'S book, which has just appeared, lies caused a ^reut sensation arnougst the magnetising and spirit-seejng portion of the community, whose belief was dying out for want of aliment. The yountr lieutenant, of unimpeachable honour and un- doubted veracity, relates the story of the mirage witnessed by the crew and officers of his ship after the loss of their consort, the Berceau, which surpasses any nautical ro- mance ever invented. The phenomenon was not witnessed by one, nor by a few, but by the whole crew the sinking ship, the crew upon the raft fainting with exhaustion and despair. The small steamer belonging to tho great ship was sent out, and drew so near to thephmtom wreck that faces of old comrades were recognised, and well-remembcr- ed voices hailed with joy; two small boats were letdown and manned to row among the breakers and pick the wretched sufferers off the raft, when, lo, as they drew near all had vanished—raft and spars and torn sail, nnd hag- gard faces, all had disappeared, and nought remained but a few twigs, trunks, and branches, which had been blown from the shore and lay rocking on the billows. The boats and steamer returned totheshiphenrtstruck and dispirited. But the phenomenon of the change had been visible to the crew left on board, who had followed the messengers with their telescopes, at the very moment at which it had taken place. A lecture was given on Saturday night at the Science Universale on the subject, for no one seems to doubt but that the phantom beheld thereby the crew was reality somewhere, and therefore science seeks to explain by natural causes what imagination seeks to attribute to spiritual influence. DEATH OF LIllt CHARLES BAKKT.—It is with sincere regret that we have to announce the death of this emin- ent architect, which took place very suddenly a little before twelve o'clock on Saturday night last, at his resi- dence near Clapbam Common. This bereavement falls in the most unexpected manner on the family, as up to within two or three hours of his lamented decease Sir Charles con tinned in the enjoyment of as sound health as often tails to the lot of men who are approaching their 70th year. On Friday he was at the neW Palace West- minster, and transacted business as usual, and on Satur- day so little did any change betoken his approaching cia- solution that he appeared even better than usual and passed the greater part of the day at the Crystal Palace. Between 8 and 9 in the evening, however, he was seized with a fit of what appeared to be paralysis, the worst symptoms of whieh progreissed with such fatal rapidity that in little more (Laa two hours Sir Charles ceased to exist.

RIIOSLLANERCIIRUGOG. BUNVEYOR OP MOUETOX ADovi.la our report of Ruabon Petty Sessions, which appeared in our impres- sion of Saturday last, we inadvertently inserted tho name of William Edwards, Rhos, 'mstead of Thomas Owens, Talbot Inn, Rhos, in connection with the passing of the accounts of the highway surveyors. Mr Owens —not Mr Edwards—was surveyor of the highways last year, the report, therefore, should have read thus-" Mr Thomas Owens, of the Talbot Inn, Rhoallanerchrugog, brought his accounts as surveyor of the township of Moreton Above, for the purpose of having them passed. He also applied to the bench to be appointed surveyor of the highways for the ensuing year, as the vestry had failed to make any appointment. Mr W. Jones, butcher, objected to the final passing of the accounts, averring that Mr Owens had not shewn what he had done with the money, and that there was a portion of the rate still uncollected. He also stated that he (Mr. Jones) had been appointed surveyor for the emuing year. In reply to the hst statement, Mr Owens said that the appoint- ment was made at a vestry held on the lltli of April, and consequently was void. As for the accounts, they had been passed in vestry, and the books were there now for any one to examine." We regret that this error should have occurred as we are led to believe that Mr Edwards has been subjected to some annoyance and un- pleasant remarks in consequence. ELLESMERE. I LOCAL GOVERNMENT LOAHD.—A meeting of the Board was held on Monday last. Present—Messrs Stanton, Parry, Colemere, Cooley, Lowe, Wright, and Salter; W. H. Randies, Clerk, and William l'av, Surveyor. Mr Stanton was unanimously voted to the chair. The min- utes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The Surveyor presented his quarterly accounts, which were examined and passed. lie repeated that the fire engines were ia an efficient state, with this exception, that one of them required a new suction pipe, which was accordingly ordered; the chairman ouseiving llui the fire engines should always be kept in proper order, with- out wailing for the sanction of the BJurJ tor trivial :e- j) a! ,,s The Clerk said he had advised the Surveyor that it was not necessary for him to by his accounts before the magistrates. He had received a aiimmons to do so, and was now threatened with proceedings for not attending to it. The Clerk read the section of the act (37) relating to the accounts, which clearly proved that the surveyor was not required to submit them to the magistrates. The surveyor also reported that he had laid 3 stench traps out of 6; the others would be obtained and put down immediately. lie was ordered to lay down Ul additional G, as they were likely to answer the purpose exceedingly well. Mr Gough, assistant overseer, and collector of gas rates, made a dailll upon the board for the sum of £ 22 money advanced by him to the treasurer prior to the adoption of the Local Government Act. Tiie claim ao- pear'-d to be perfectly correct, hut the clerk was directed to write to the late Inspector lequesting him to furnish the lloatd with a detailed account of tho expenditure of the money, with a view to th" rep.HVruent t,) Mr (.ikiiigti, f;3 well its the discharge of other bills sent in. An extraordinary meeting will be held on tho 24th, for the purpose ot going through these accounts. THE STONK DEl'OT.

Upivai-di of 2,200 depositors have already availed themselves cf the accommodation thus offered, and it is now thought due not 1e3:3 to tho Jepoitorcl than to Mr Silt himself thus the institution should be placed in the hands of the public, and that he should be relieved of personal re- sponsibility.—CJicukr Couranl.

On arriving there, Mr Edward Watkin, on behalf of hia sister-in- law (Mrs Alired Watkin), presented to the company a handsome silver bugle. Licutentant Ciinlilfe accepted the bugle on behalf of the Company, and briefly acknow- ledged the handsome gift. Tho Company afterwaids sat down to a cold collation provided by Mr Watkin, OSWESTRY. IXIPI/B Lours.—TUCJ members of the Oswestry Riq., Corps met for parade practise on Monday, as usuil. Tiie majority of the men appeared in uniform, which consists of a short tunic and pegtop trousers of light grey, with black cross-belt and csp, and cartouche box. The evolu- tions were gone through, for the most pint, with corro"t- ness. aud, we believe, gave the officers (Lieutenant Ha- d n' 1') n mer and Ensign Williams) every satisfaction, Tiie number ol enrolled members is rapidly increiisin-r- amounting at present to moro than forty, and it is hoped that in a few weeks' time a company wiil be formed. DENBIGH. FAIIL.-Our fair on Monday was very well attended. There was a very large nun ber of cattle of all kinds, which cleared off well. Of horses there was a very fair show. Mr Reginald RatcIitTe, who has occupied so prominent a part in connection with the recent religious revivals in Scotland and England, has announced his intention of visiting our town shortly. Previous to doing so he in. tends paying a visit to Wrexham. THE EISLEDDFQD.—We much regret to announce that with but isw exceptions all the gentlemen of iufluence in this neighbourhood whose names were announced as forming tiie committee for the forthcoming Eisteddfod have had them withdrawn, and the inhabitants,tt of this town and neighbourhood keep aloof, not being willing that they should have their names mixed up with, what is here believed to be but the private affair of three or four individuals. It is reported that-Sir W W Wynu has been induced to allow his name to appear as president; but the report is not credited here, where it is known that not one private gentleman and no tradesman of intelligence (we believe three only iu all, and two of them printers!) will consent to aut on the committee this is the more striking when it is under. stood that the people of Denbigh are enthusiastic in sup. port of liiisteddfodau general ly, but it is no great wonder after all, for when one man by his tools engrosses the whole management, it ceases to be a public undertaking. u-

Having remained 'till this case was finish- ed, they left tho court, auj that too, not without Mr Manrieo being acquainted with at least some of their opinions. Mrowetenham goes on ta say, "Y{f1 ran know noth- ing of other matters referred to iil Mr Lloyd's letter fllr- ther tiiati tii it tin ce (if nut fuur) magistrates remained to take part in the decision." It was for the very purpose that the public might know the truth of. what is cUled 1, the other matters" that I wrote my letter. It' they could not bu known through one medium, they might be known by another, and therefore I take this opportunity of repeating that the majority of the magistrates present, t. c., all who heard the case except Mr Maurice and Mr Johnson, were unanimous in their opinion that there was no case against Mr Barnwell: and if Mr Swetcnham wishes to obtain confirmation of my assertion from the gentlemen themselves, I me no doubt they will willingly give him tne miormauon reqlllrcu. But adds Mr Swetenham, "three if not four of the magistrates took a part in the decision." I take the liberty of informing him what part two of them took. One gentleman only came into court at the end of the day, and could not have ventured to form any opinion from what he heard. The other gentleman who had sat throughout the proceedings, did state to Mr Maurice, that he thought no case was made out against Mr B arnwell, so that if I cannot hope to satisfy Mr Swetenham, I trust I shall the public, that the sentence was the sentence of Messrs. -Maurice and Johnson only, and of no one else. Mr Louis, who represented me on that day, has en. dorsed Mr Swetenham's letter. As I read my letter to that gentleman in the hearing of one of my clerks, and as he expressed his full satisfaction and approbation of it, I confess I cannot understand by what process he has arrived so speedily at the opposite conclusion. The same gentleman a lso stated in court to Mr Barnwell, if not 10 others, his opinion that no assault by Mr Barnwell was proveù-although he appears now to have altered his mind. One word regarding Mr Adams, who is the clerk of the Couely Magistrates, as well as a kind of deputy of the Town Clerk, who I presume is the proper clerk of the justices of the borough. What lie wishes to prove in his letter is not very evident. The public probably did not want to bo informed that wnsn there was no ex-mayor, it was indispensable to get the assistance of a magistrate to form the tribunal. He probably consults the mayor whom he is to ask. He applies to three, who decline. There are still others to whom he might apply, old enough to be Mr Johnson's grandfathers; but he or the mayor-and it makes little dincreacc which of the two, (for the mayor is answerabl e for his servant), docs so- lect the juvenile magistrate, who is in spite of Mr Adams' statement, the youngest acting magistrate in this divi- sion. Mr Adams concludes with stating that my asser- "r- clcct¡.on"l's' 1 t "I tion of Me Maurice's sel ection "is simply untrue." It ] t unlike a quibble to7ar that air Maurice did j o,g Po, U:l"e :1 ,1L .1.,1' ,lll¡'J(:e Uta not select because Lis clerk uid but unfortunately Jdr Adams who was in court, seems to have forgotten tho actual words of Mr Mamice, to the effect that he (and not his clerk) had selected a colleague. His mere asser- tion cannot convert my uncontradicted statements into what h ■ is pleased to call simply untrue." Yours obediently, WILLIAM. LLOYD, Solicitor. Ruthin, lath May, ISflO. MR.

"Cymtu" says that I have "omitted to notice the most mateiial feature in tiie lecture—which is to show the habitual misquotation and perversion of the authen- tic facts of British history," X'iiis I altogether deny.

POLICEMEN ALND DOGS. To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. Sir,—On Monday morning last I was called to see a man of the name of Samuel Jones, of Coed Talon, whoso iip had been biiten off by another man, in an affray at the Hand Public House, on the night previous. The messenger who came for me, reached Mold about half- past one, a.m. It was between 2 and 3 when I arrived at Samuel Jones's. On my way between the railway crossing and Pontybodkin (the turnpike road where P.C. Frazer and his dog committed the agravated assault upon Mr George Evans) I met P.C. Russell, the Tryddyn policeman, who made a stand, and asked me ,i* T L x 1 i T i whetner i was going to tuai man Jones, my reply was what business have you to ask me where I am going to ?" I then went on until I arrived at the house where Samuel Jones lived. I now saw that Russell, who was following me up the road, was accompanied by a dog. I asked him whether Lhe dog was his. He said no; he had no dog. I replied" Well, he is following you." He replied, I know nothing about him." I then asked two men who were present whether they knew the dog. They said, no, and that it did not belong to any one of the cottagers. I then told Russell that I thought police officers ought to sccuro strayed dogs in the night. Rus- sell answered that he did not want to be sharpened. I then asked the men to catch the dog, for me, The dog then ran to Russell, for protection, but was at last se- cured. I then said, I shall keep this dog and try to find out who owns him," and as one of the men and I were looking for a handkerchief, to tie hiin-Russell pushed between us with his back to me, lifted his arm up twico and said to the man, Loose that dog—loose that dog. It is not Mr Parry's dog, and he has nothing to do with him." The dog got oif, and liusgell stoned him away—I remarking to the policeman" If you know the dog is mt mine, you must know whose it ig. It is, I think, high time that policemen should be taught that dogs are not legal or proper companions of police offi. cers, when upon duty. I have laid the matter before the proper authorities, and shall wait to see what notice s taken of it. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Mold, May 1G, 1S00. ROBEKT PARBT. THE BIBLE AND CHURCH-RATES. To the Editor of the Denbighshire Advertiser. Sir,—I strayed into the church on Monday morning last for the purpose of hearing what the Archdeacon had to say to his subordinates. One part of his address consisted of a defence of church-rates, but in trying to defend this odious tax, he never once appealed to the Bible, or drew one single argument from scripture in its favour. One would think that men who spend a life lime in studying ihe scriptures, would ?o far have them at command as to ii, able to quote them at all times in support of such important, disputed questions. The bur- tienof the Archdeacon's argument was "we have got church-rates, and we intend to keep them as long as we I can." JUSTICB. SALE Of POTATOES. I To ihe Editor cf the Denbighshire Advertiser. Sir,—There are great complaints altogether, that the bulk of the potatoes that come into Wrexham market are immediately upon their arrival bought up by two or three itidividiuls who deal ia them. They are placed upon the machine, calculated at OOibd to the measure, then resold from the carts by the half-measure; and it is stated that this half-measure will hull about thirty pounds weight, consequently the measure as bought hy weight, makes nearly a measure and a half as sold to the poor IT these retailers. I believe the Town Council some time ago ordered that all potatoes should be sold by weight, whereas it is very certain that several cart loads were bought onil sold last Thursday in the way I have described. What is the market Inspector doim* ? C. w. [fhe authorities cannot compel people to buy by weight. The choice rests with tllC buyer. If the buyer requires the potatoes to be weighed, the teller is bound to obey.—E. A ]

EMTGI:ATIOS.—The Irish provincial papers continue to report tiie emigration of large masses of the peasantry. A Roscommon journal, for example; says :—" The num- bers at present emigrating from our county exceed any that has taken place for years. Nearly every day groups of comfortable, well-dressed people of the small-farming class, with tiieir great 1 irgo red boxes, may be seen at our i ait way stiiuons, elt roll,- fur GaINY-ay ,010i)ck." CATTLE KILLED m LICKING I'AIST.—Last week two short-horned but; about sixteen months old, in a iot of 2-3, the property of Mr Thomas Clarke, upon New 1\1 UJr Farm, Sou'timinister, were seized with frothing at the mouth, affection ed' the brain, and other symptoms, from whieh one died the next day, and the other was necessarily killed. Mr IIowe, veterinary surgeon, on hearing from the shepherd that the anni. mais had licked some lead-colouring paint from oil a put of the buildings, immediately pronounced it to have occasioned the attack, and on a post mortem exninillation the mortal effects of the poison were cleai- ly ('evetoped. THE BUAVB VOLUNTERIIS,—The local authorities have seen it their duty to issue the following circular to officers commanding volunteer corjis In Glasgow. It must bo a mattt:r of deep regret to every friend of the volunteer movement that such a step should have been deemed necessary. Volunteers guilty o! the conduct reprobated in the cireuinr ought not nly to be scn-ereiy punished hy the magistrates, but they should at once be reported to their commanding officers, who we arc sure, il: every case would, with the consent of their companies turn, the guilty parties out of the volunteer raiilir,; "City Clumbers, Glssgoiv, May I I, lSGO,-Sir, --The attention of the magistrates h:is been called to several serious disturbances whieh have occuru-d in the city Juring whieh volunteer-, when off duty, have drawu their bayonets and flourished them about in a very iiri. seemly and reckless manner, a!:d threatened to use them indiscriminately against the lieges. As serious and possibly latil results may arise during Bitch disturbances should the parties engaged in them be in the possesion of arms, the magi_ strates think it would he well if you could arrange that arms should not bo carried by any of the volunteers, unless when on duty and under the comma.id of their officers, and they desire me tu request your Particular attention to this matter.- I am, liif. your obedient servant, Alexander Monro, Town Clerk." —2\orlh British Daily Mail LIRI: CHARGES AGAINST TIIE REY illit BONWELL.— On Suaday last the Hev Mr Bonwell was served in the \estrv cf the church witii a prohibitation from the Ihsjop of London, ordering him not to continue to minister to the congregation of St Philip's, Stepney, duilog the proceedings now pending against him con- cerning the birth of a child in the school-room of the schools belonging to that church. The articles de- livered to him called upon the reverend gentleman to appear and answer certain charges contained in the articles before Dr Lushington, in the Ecclesiastical Court, at the instance of the llldhop of London.

List weeks supplies were moderate, excepting a good irrival nt'Kiy.itiau be.im. There was no corn exported. Of Eiiglisn wheat there were [j 371> qi-3, of foreign 6.212 qrs. The show of samples from Kent and Essex this '!llJllliill!: 'as rather improved, both in quantity and qual- ify. Sales were made more readily than on last Monday, oti fully as g"f)d ter;nc. Foreign, though not extensively in ù,¡.<lu..J, f,J\lnd rl:1il buyers, at rather more money. There were 1C.330 sacks of country flour, with 2,500 sacks. 3od barrels iGtvign. Noifolks foond a steady trade, it fully the previous rates, and occasionally brought more. Foreign were firm ia value, and town prices unchaneed. Of Briiish barley there arrived 1,083 qrs, of foreign 4,243 qrs. There wai a moderate business in all descriptions, at th3 quotations of last week. In malt the trade was slow, and though for very select qualities in small lots our quo- tations are exceeded, we rati make no change. The whole supply of oats was 15,271 qrs, viz 883 qrs English, 6 qis Scotch, US qri Irish, and 14,285 qrs foreign the limited supplies and exhaustion of stocks in granary made a firm market for all sorts, at fully 0d per qr advance. Of home- grown beans there were 1,098 qrs, of foreign 4,507 qrs. Prices have lately been gradually improving, and more money was asked for fine foreign. The quantity of native peas was 112 qrs, with 757 qrs foreign. The supply of hog peas was being very limited, and prices moderate when compared with barley, they went off quickly, at Is to 2.. per qr advance, but boilers were no dearer. MARK LANE CORN MARKET.—'WEDMSDAT. Both from Essex and Kent, only limited supply of wheat was on offer in to-day's market. The attendance of buyery was very moderate; nevertheless, both red aad white qualities changed hands somewhat steadily, at Mon- day's currencies. The demand for foreign was by no means active. Importers, however, were very firm, and extreme rates were realised in every instance. Floating cargoes were a dull sale. For barley, the inquiry was much lest active; nevertheless, the quotations were supported. GLA.SGOW CORN MARKET.—MONDAY The market was steady for all articles at Wednesday • prices. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—TUBSDAT. We have had only a small attendance of buyers at our corn exchange this morning, and the demand for both. wheat and flour has been on the most retail scale, at the rates of last market day. Indian corn was neglected, and all descriptions might have been bought 6d per quarter cheaper. Oats and oatmeal dull sale, and the torn. lower. Beans were scarcely enquired after, and prices are some- what irregular. Peas and barley remain without alteration. Notwithstanding the dull inactive character of the marketi prices of both wheat and flour shewed a tolerable degree of ifrmness at the close. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET.—MOWDAT. The supply of cattle and sheep at this day's market was unusually small, and the demand was slow, at very high prices for each; cattle, 7d to 8|d per lb.; lambs, SOs to 428 each. 89 beasts and 4,780 sheep at market. I LONDON CATTLE MARKET.—MONDAY. The show ot foreign sheep in to-day's market was rather extensive, of beasts and calves only moderate. Sales pro- gressed steady, on higher terms. From our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts, owing to a large increase in the su ply of grass in the pastures, were limited, bat, for the most part, in fair condition. Buyers having made their appearance from the north of England, as well as Ireland, the beef trade rnled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of fully 2d per 81b, the best Scots and crosses having sold at 5s 2d per 81b. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge- shire amounted to about 2000 Scots, Shorthorns, and cros- ses from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds. No stock reached us from Ireland, and only two bulla came to hand from Scotland. For the time of year the show of English sheep was very limited. All breeds oom- mended a brisk sale, at from 2d to4d per 81b above last Monday's currency. The best downs realised as 6d per 81b. There wetc ecarei-ly any woolled sheep on offer. Lambs were in moderate supply, and steady inquiry, at ea- treme rates. Isle of White and Dorset breeds sold at from os 8d to Os qd. Down qualities 6a 8d to 7s 4d per 8lb. We had a steady, though not to say very active, de- maud for calves, at extreme rates. The pork trade ruled firm, at very full prices.
