EDWIN RICHARDS, Agent at MONMOUTH. [ADVERTISEMENT.] SHIP BROKERAGE. S Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. .jr"*?}"* °k?erved in your paper of the 15th instant, a r, addressed to the Editor of the Shipping and Mercan- HffZtv/i' SInned Y- z-" 1 he* 'eave, throufh the medium t ?.ap<ir'10 ?ontradict the only intelligible facts mmnelleA. in rlivVl er 5°.ntiUns' v.'z-' that the ship-brokers are 3 irirv-i nf tK ?lr comm,ssl°" of 2} per cent, with the ™ ,rotn-ma»«« and that it is his opinion th>, th. *js. f KS sif'CA"! atlis:"1 ,o co"«l"»b"k«" •» half their commission. Now, in reply to the above charges, I beg, in the first place, to deny, that the ship-brokers are compelled to allow the shipping agents half their commission, and such charge is not 6nlv with out the least foundation, but grossly false. In the second place. I beg to observe, that the iron-masters of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, who have expended so much capital, and rea lised such princely fortunes, are too well informed to need the advice of common ship-brokers to instiuct them in their busi- ness. The real truth is, that when masters of vessets arrive in this port, they apply to the shipping agents for a freight, statinR the burthen of their vessel, &c., and inquiring what freight the iron-masters or shipping agents will give. They receive an an- swer from the shipping agents, and the business is completed without the interference of the ship-brokers therefore the ship brokers are not the least assistance to the shipping agents or the iron-masters, but, on the contrary, they can do much better without them. I cannot conclude this letter, without stating, that unless I am greatly deceived in the person who is the real author of the letter signed Y. Z." that he is no better than a common swindler, who left his lodgings in this port, without paying his bill; aoritjmt his character is, therefore, so bad, that no re- spectable An will have anything to do with him. t" v I am.

HOUSE OP LORDS. -MONDAY, JUNE 17. End Durham presented a petition from the Deputies of the Protestant Dissenting Congregations resident in and near Lon- don, praying for the abolition of Church Rates, and of the Ec- clesiastical Courts. The Bishop of Exeter presented petitions from the Dioceses of Oxford, Worcester, Peterborough, and Ely, against the Church Discipline Bill. The Borough Courts Bill was read a second time. BEER BILL. On the third reading of this bill being moved, The Marquess of Westminster proposed a direct negative. A long discussion ensued, when there appeared for the amendment, 19; and against it, 36. The bill was afterwnnb ordered to be recom- mitted on Monday, for the consideration of certain fimetidments. TUESDAY, JUNK 18. Lord Brougham and other Noble Lords presented petitions in favour of a Penny Postage. Petitions were also presented both in favour of and against the Government plan of Education.

Lord Brougham postponed the first reading of the Education Bill until Monday, and the third reading of the Beer Bill until ruesday .-Ad journcd.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY,…
HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY, JONE 17. A great number of petitions were presented in favour of a Penny Postage and Vote by Ballot, and for and against the Government plan of Education. BEER BILL. Mr. Sat ford having put a question to Mr. Packington on this subject, Lord John Russell said, before the hon. member an- swered the question, he wished to state that his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer had several clauses to propose of a very important nature, which would not be ready for some days. It was consequently arranged that the bill should be again brought forward on Thursday week. CHURCH-RATES. In answer to a question on this subject, Lord John Russell said that no bill would be brought forward by the Government in the present session. PRIVILEGE. The Committee, to whom it was entrusted to inquire what was the best course to be taken in consequence of the decision of the Queen's Bench in the case of Stockdale v. Hansard, having presented their first report on Saturday, Lord J. Rus- sell proposed, first, that it was the opinion of the house that, under the special circumstances of the case, it was not expe- dient to adopt any further proceedings for the purpose of stay- ing the execution of the writ; and secondly, that the house would consider what measure it might be adviseable to adopt, in consequence of the said judgment of the Queen's Bench, as soon as the committee should have made a full report on the subject to the house.—On the first resolution being put, Mr. Warburton moved as an amendment, that acquiescence in the judgment pronounced in this case will create on the part of the house a great impedIment in the future necessary exercise of Parliamentary authority in vindication of their privileges, and that it is therefore necessary that the house should forthwith de- clare that the further prosecution of the said action, and the attempt to levy any damages on the defendant for a publication in pursuance of the orders of the house, directly impedes the exercise of their Parliamentary functions, and is a high con- tempt of the privileges of the house, and the house will visit with severe displeasure all officers, ministers, and others, who may act or aid in any manner in enforcing the judgment in that matter, or in troubling or molesting the said defendant for such publication, and that a copy of this resolution be served on the sheriff."—A long discussion ensued.-Sir R. Peel supported the resolution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilde the amendment; and the house having divided, the resolution was carried by a ma- jority of 18, there being 184 for, and 166 against. The second resolution was carried by a majority 97, there being 133 for and 36 against. The Jamaica Bill was postponed till Wednesday, and the Windsor Castle Stables Bill was read a third time and passed. TUESDAY, JUNE 18. A large number of petitions in favour of the Ballot, were presented; one of which, by Mr. H. Berkeley, from Bristol, had 8628 signatures, obtained in four days. A petition against the Ballot was presented from Anglesea. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Lord Granville Somerset presented a petition from Monmouth, against the Government plan of Education. Mr. Blewitt presented a petition from Monmouth against the grant of any public money for the purposes of education, except upon a footing of perfect religious equality. MERCHANT SEAMEN. Sir E. Codrington presented a petition, signed by a number of merchant seamen, complaining of the deduction now made from their monthly wages for the support of Greenwich Hos- pital, under certain acts of Parliament, and praying for inquiry. THE CHURCH. Mr. Ilume presented a petition from the landholder? in the county of Kilkenny, complaining of the grievance of the estab- lished church of England in that country, and stated that of all the evils suffered by the people of Ireland, the existence of the established church was the most intolerable. It was supported by the force of British bayonets, and inculcated doctrines of the worst and most uncharitable nature, while it lorded over the Irish government and over the Irish people. (Order, order.) THE BUDGET. Mr. flume enquired whether the Chancellor of the Exche- quer was able to state to the house the precise time when he would bring forward his financial statement for the year ? The Chancellor of Ihe Exchequer said that on Friday the 5th Julv, he proposed to move the resolution of which he had given notice, as to postages of letters; and that at the same time he would make his financial statement for the present year. THE BALLOT. Mr. Grotc, after presenting several petitions in favour of the Ballot, said, that after the many discussions which the subject had undergone, he could scarcely hope to add anything new but he congratulated the house that it was not longer formally opposed by the Cabinet. He did not recommend the Ballot as a measure which would cure all that was defective in our in- stitutions yet it is a remedy for one of the greatest and most serious evils—intimidation. It will also put an end to corrup- tion. Many who oppose the Ballot, admit and deplore the existence of corruption and intimidation, and likewise admit the necessity of devising some remedy to combat them. Yet those persons say the Reform Bill was a final measure he would ask them if intimidation and corruption were to be final too. He denied that, at the passing of the Reform Bill, it was intended that it should be a final measure. A franchise so limited as the present cannot be considered permanent. Pro- tection in the exercise even of the present franchise is necessary, because whether it be determined to enlarge it or not, it is ne- cessary to its proper use to give it protection. But then the Ballot is in no sense an enlargement or disturbance of the boundary which had been fixed by the Reform Act; and this is an argument often alledged against it by the Radical papers; it is perfectly congruous with the Reform Act; and on that ground he would recommend it. Considering the vehemency with winch it had been opposed, he did expect that some remedy would have been before now proposed to meet the evils which all admitted but none has been proposed, and therefore he would persevere in his proposition of the Ballot. There is no third course the house must either adopt the Ballot or sanc. tion the present corrupt and evil system. Those who repudiate the Ballot, are, in effect, supporting the present system of corruption and intimidation. The hon. gent. then proceeded to urge the same arguments in favour of the measure which he has used upon occasion of similar motions made by him in the house, and which are familiar to the public by their constant use at every meeting wheie the subject has been discussed in the country. He concluded by moving that elections for Members of Parliament be taken by Ballot. Lord Worsley rose to second the motion, and in doing so, said that unless they protected the voters in the exercise of their franchise, they would not long preserve the confidence of the country but there was one point in which he differed with the hon. member, and that was the necessity of extending the franchise. He begged.leave to second the motion. Mr. Macauley, at considerable length, entered into a vin- dication of Government for making the Ballot an open ques. tion, and was certain that by doing so they had increased their strength and raised their character. He concluded by saying, "Sir I am convinced that the tine is not far remote when this great nation, with a voice as imperial as that with which they demanded the Reform Bill, will demand that the Reform Bill shall be practically carried out in its noblest principles, and be made a truth. (Cheers.) And when that just demand is conceded, as surely it will be conccded-whtn the franchise of every elector shall be a franchise indeed—I am firmly con- vinced that the achievement of this great national object, in- stead of preparing the way forreckkss change, spoliation, and commotion, will strengthen the law, secure the just right of property, draw closer together the legitimate ties between one order in society and another, and cement the affections of all parties in the state to the law, the Parliament, and the throne. (Loud and protracted cheering.) Lord John Russell felt a repugnance to the Ballot, because it would put the electors of the United Kingdom in a different position from any other class of pers. ns whatevtr. The judges, the Houses of Parliament, even the Sovereign, are subject to public opinion, and are the electors to be exempted from it.- lie admitted intimidation, but the Ballot was not a remedy for it: nor would it put an end to bribery. But it should be recol- lected that the Ballot would aggravate the discontent of those who have no vote<. He thought that the free and independent feeling of the people was sufficient to put an end to intimida- tion, without the intervention of the Ballot, Mr. Shiel supported the measure, and Sii James Graham, and Lord Howick, opposed it. Sir R. Peel said that as on the last occasion when this ques- tion was before the house he had fully expressed his opinion, he would not trespass on them he would state that his opinions were unchanged. Ihe hon. boronet then proceeded to com- ment on the system of open questions adopted by the present Government, and censured it as tending to destroy the force of parties, and to abate the confidence which ought to exist be. iween members of the Government. Mr. Grate replied. After which the house divided- rormemotton.. 216 Against IT 333 Majority. 117

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Paris papers of Friday bring the termination of the debate in the Chamber of Peers on the proposition to re form and prevent future abuses in the Legion of Honour. The discussion on the articles being closed, the Chamber on Thursday evening divided on the ensemble of the mea- sure, when there were, for the Bill, 63; against tt, 53- majority 10. This defeat of the Court produced consider- able sensation in Paris, as Ministers had notoriously used every possible means to influence the Chamber to reject the proposition. The Bill binds up the hands of the King completely, and the adoption of it appears to have diffused rather general satisfaction among the public, who disap- proved, we are told, the indiscriminate and profuse be- stowal of the Order of the late years." The Service Money Bill was carried by 91 to 6. Two passages from the speech of Marshal Soult are very inte- resting:—"As regards the East, we shall follow the policy we have ever followed, but I must be excused from enter- ing into any details respecting it!" As regards England, to which country I am indebted for a reception so flatter- ing, I am happy to say that no cloud rests upon the con- nexion of the British nation and France, and we have, moreover, a certainty that none will arise for yet a long time to come." Saturday's papers contain no domestic news of interest. SPAIN. Madrid papers and letters of the 6th inst. reached Paris on Friday. The Madrid Gazette contains a circular letter from the Minister of the Interior to the Potitica) Chiefs of the provinces, in which, after professing great respect for the liberty of the Press, he calls upon those functionaries to take measures for obviating and preventing the recurrence of abuses of that liberty until the Government should be able to obtain from the Cortes some legislative enactment with that object. Much dissatisfaction is said to have been occasioned by this proceeding. Letters from Bayonneofthe 12th inst. state, that nothing new had occurred in Durango down to the 8lh inst. The Carlists appeared determined on defending Balmaseda to the last extremity, and the command of the place had been intrusted to Count Negri. BRUSSELS. JUNE 8.Politics at this moment are all forgotten, or at all events, absorbed by the disastrous effects of the storm of wind and rain which raged with extraordinary fury on the night of the 5th—effects more rapid and so disastrous can scarcely be conceived. A waterspout, borne upon the wings of a violent north west wind, fell in this neighbourhood between 9 and 12 on the above night, and caused the canals, rivulets, mill-streams, and reservoirs, to swell so rapidly that they burst the locks and embank- ments, and carried desolation and death with them in every direction. The small hamlet of Burght near VII- vorde, has suffered the most; 42 dead bodies have already been taken from the ruins of the houses which were over- whelmed by the torrent, and about 30 persons of both sexes are missing, and supposed to be buried in a sort of gulf formed by the waters. The crops are destroyed, houses demolished, cattle and flocks of sheep drowned in some places, and in others several persons have also been swept away and perished before assistance could be sent to them. It is said that the loss of life will fallliUle short of 100 persons, and 300 head of cattle and sheep. HANOVER. JUNE 6.—Yesterday evening, after the grand parade in honour of the King's binhday, a tumult took place. As a great number of people were in the streets, it is no won- der that the Burghasse was crowded stones were thrown at the doors and windows of the palace-office; some mounted gens d'arms came up and soon dispersed the crowd. TURKEY. A mass of journals and letters from Turkey, Egypt, and Malta have come to hand, the impression suggested by a perusal of which is, that the great Eastern question has not made a step in advance since the first account; that on the one hand Hafiz Pasha had crossed the Euphrates and taken up a position at Bir, and on the other that Mehemet Ali, when made aware of that muvement, wrote to his son Ibra- him to take care not to be the aggressor, but if attacked to place his trust in God and act with energy."—Advices from Alexandria, dated the 25th ult., received from Con- stantinople, state that at the instance of the French Ambas- sador the Sultan has forwarded positive otders to Ilafiz Pa- sha to withdraw from the confines of Syria, and to desist from any hostile movement. SOUTH AMERICA. By account received from the river Plate by the American brig of war Dolphin, it appears that two American merchant brigs had proceeded from Mount Video to Babia Blaron, on the coast of Patagonia, about fifty leagues south of Cape Antonia, where they landed their cargoes, and after taking in part of their return, were captured by the French sloop of war La Perle, brought out and taken into Mount Video without any colours flying, under the pretext of having violated the blockade. The American Commodore Ni. cholson had protested against this act of aggression, and demanded that the vessels should be given up; but nei- ther answer nor the intention of the French Admiral had transpired, and the Dolphin sailed for the United States. By an extract from the Newfoundland Public Ledger of 24th May, it appears that strong dissensions prevail be- tween the Governor and the House of Assembly, and thai lhe Governor had refused to receive an address sent up (om that body. MARRIAGES IN IIIGU LIFE.—In addition to the mar- riage of Mr. Gladstone to Miss Glynne, which we an nounced yesterday, we understand that Lord Lyttelton will at the same time lead to the hymeneal altar her youngei sister, Miss Mary Glynne.— Morning Post. THE MARRIAGE ACT.-An uncertainty has for somf time prevailed with regard to the interpretation of the 12th clause of the new Marriage Act, viz., whether Superin- tendent Registrars were authorised by it to issue a licence or certificate for the solemnization of marriages within their several districts, in cases in which neither of the parties in- tending marriage had resided within the said district for the space of 15 days immediately before the granting of such licence or certificate. The question has lately been the subject of a correspondence between the Registrar-Ge- neral and Mr. Thomason, the Superintendent Registrar of the Worcester union, in the course of which the former gave it as his opinion that such a residence was not re quired. Since then, however, the Registrar-General has addressed circulars to the Superintendent Registiars gene- rally, a copy of which is now before us, and in which he says—" In consequence of an opinion which I have re- ceived from the Law Officer to the Crown, I hereby direc' that from this time forward you do not issue a certificate for any marriage to be solemnized in a district in which neither of the parties intending marriage resided at the time of giving notice." THE VOLUNTARY SVSTEM.—As a contrast to the volun- tary Offerings," wrung from Dissenters by Clergy and Proctors of the Established Church, it is gratifying to re- mark the readiness wherewith free-will offerings are made by the Dissenting body, where they consider the promo- tion of vital Christianity at stake. On Tuesday, the 11th inst., after sermons preached subsequent to the enlargemellt of a small Baptist Meeting-House in Mill-street Evesham, the sum of £.51. 15s. 6d. was collected. This, with £204 4s. 6d. previously contributed by the stated congregation, completes a total of £256. raised there within a very few months, over and above the usual current expenses atten- dant upon the maintenance of public worship: the whole being given, "not by restraint, but willingly," in accordance with the precepts of the New Testament.— Worcestershire Chronicle. Joseph Bailey, Esq., M.P. for this city, has presented a donation of £25. towards the fund for providing a new site for St. Michael's Church, in addition to the £25. before given towards rebuilding the church.— Ibid. FACTS.—A joiner, who is one of the far-famed and meritorious 186 Ludlow Liberals, who had been employed several months by a Mr. Evans, of Herefordshire, on le- turning from the late election to his work, was discharged by the said employer, because forsooth, he had dared to fulfil the duly requited of him by the laws of his country. Can this be called English, or Russian liberty?—It is a fact also, that a Tory of fox-hunting notoriety, has, since the late election, discarded his Radical baker, of whom he every day (except Sunday) purchased one halfpenny cake. This is destroying Radicalism with a vengeance. TORY CORRUPTION.—It is currently reported that a carte blanche for £15,000. was forwarded from Northum- berland House to Ludlow, to be expended in carrying the election, as to which there is little doubt Billy Holmes will be able to give a good account to his constituents. THE CARLOW ELECTION. Taking the average of the expense of each party at £125. a day—which is an esti- mate greatly under the mark the inquiry has already cost the parties engaged in it about £10,000.-so that contest- ing an Irish borough is rather a questionable piece of financial policy.— Morning Post. PRESENTATION OF PLATE. On Wednesday sc'nnight, it being the birthday of Colonel Tynte, a splendid piece of plate, made by Payne and Sons, Bath, was presented to him by the non-commissioned officers and privates of the West Somerset Regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, "as a testimony of their attachment, respect and esteem for him, as their commanding officer"—a similar tribute of regard having been presented to the gallant Colonel on a former occasion by the officers of the corps. WORCESTER Hop MARKET, JUNE 15.—There was no alteration to notice in our maiket to-day, business con- tinuing very slack, and nothing but the very finest descrip lions of hops were at all in request. Scarcely a transac- tion took place on the maiket 2G pockets were weighed, the greater part of which were sold the previous market day. Prices same as last week. Shrewsbury Fair, on Tuesday, was plentifully supplied with sheep, which sold at O^d. to 7d. per lb.; good ewes and lambs readily brought 45s. to 55s. a couple, and lambs 7d. per lb. The prices of pigs advanced fully 2s. a head over last fair.—The number of prime fat cattle offered on Wednesday was so small, that at least one-hall the purchasers went away unable to supply themselves.— The general prices for fat cattle were 6:\d. to 7d. per lh Cows and calves, which were offered very plentifully, were reduced in price at least 30s. from last fair, but good store bullocks and barrens were in great demand. The supply of cheese was small, but the prices did not vary. Eatl Arnhurst is about to featf to the hymeneal attar ttr& Dowager Countess of Plymouth. His lordship's first wife (tlie late Laily Anihtrrst) was the mother of the late Earll of Plymouth (the bride elect's first husband,) the Marquess of Downshire, and Lady Harriet Clive. In what relation the noble pair now stand towards each other, independently of their present engsgement, we leave om readery:to dis- cover, for to us it is much too puzzling. A SINGULAR INSTANCE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—An inquest was held on Wednesday at the Ship Inn, War- rington, touching the death of a man found drownpd in the river Mersey. John Toden deposed to having found deceased in the water, with a carpet bag tied to his neck- erchief and a piece of string round his neck. Mary Bevatt said that she had seen the body, and could swear positively that it was John Cole, of Chester, who was in the habit of indulging in drunken sprees, and leaving home for two or three weeks at a time, Jones, the deputy constable was quite sure that the body was that of John Cole. Mr. Cole, the governor of the House of Industry, had no doubt but the body was that of his brother John, but it was in such a state of decomposition that he would not undertake to swear to it. At this stage of the business a very unex- pected witness made his appearance, being no less a per- son than the said John Cole, upon whose remains art inquest was then holding. John Cole said that he had heard that an enquiry was then going on to ascertain how he had come by his death, and, therefore, he thought it was but right he should show himself, in order that the coroner and jury might be satisfied that he was alive.— The dismay of the witnesses, the surprise of Jones, the deputy constable, and the amazement of the coroner cud jury, may be easily imagined. The proceedings were again commenced, the jury being sworn to inquire touch- ing the death of a man (name not ascertained), when a verdict of Found drowned was returned. John Cole's brothers, who are highly respectable men, were so satisfied of the deceased belonging to the family, that they had made the necessary arrangements for his intermrnt at St. Paul's church. John Cole accounted for his absence from Warrington by stating that his money was all gone, and he had wandered about the fields in the hope of find- ing employment, being ashamed to return to his family. A MAN'S HEAD BLOWN OFF !—On Saturday last, an inquest was held on the body of a man, who was killed at one of the shafts belonging to the Manchester and Leeds railway, at Sum- mit, near Rochdale. It appeared that the deceased was look. ing down the shaft at the precise time they were blasting below, and his head was literally blown off. A verdict of accidental death was returned.— Halifax Guardian. The following is an extiact from the last" Circular to Bank- ers —"Some of our subscribers may be expecting that we should say something relating to the present posture of political affairs. We have this to say, viz.:—that circumstances Me known to us, which carry perfect conviction, that Incuts Mel- bourne, Lansdowne, and John Russell, with other members J the Cabinet, are now acting with a degree of integrity, firmness, and judgment, which entitles them to the deep gratitude of the public-becausc their efforts are directed to save the Crown from a position of danger and possible degradation. If these honourable men succeed in their efforts, a Dissolution of Par- liament may be averted—if the Queen reject their advice, and he will of the Court prevail against them, a dissolution may ho regarded as a certain consequence. The time may come when we shall be able to explain this more circumstantiallv-but what we have now thrown out may be relied on." THE BIRMINGHAM CIIAHTISTS.— On Tuesday, a meeting was he'd in support of the Birmingham Town Mission, at which. various influential Churchmen and Dissenters were present, and advocated the cause of the society. A band of Chartists, about 1200 in number, got into the hall, and completely put a stop to the proceedings by their clamour, declaring that no public meet- ing should be held in Birmingham unmolested, unless it be to promote Chartist principles. There have been 60,300 hogsheads of flax sowed this year in Ireland. DISTRESS IN IREI.AND.— lho distress in Galway, Boyle, and other places, is so great, that committees are forming to guard ■ gainst a return of that distress, which has so frequently afflicted the west of Ireland. Very serious apprehension appears to prevail, not only in the west, but in many parts of the south of Ireland. Tho oat crop looks bad. It was stated at a recent meeting of the Society for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, that the government had agreed to appoint a bishop for Newfoundland and Ber- mudas, in the placc of the two aichdeacons of those islands. The editor of an American paper observes he dislikes seeing young ladies kiss each other—it is such a dreadful waste of the raw mateiial.

READING ALOUD.—One of the accomplishments which we wish to see cultivated among females, and which is greatly neglected or wholly overlooked, is the art of reading aloud. It is a most healthy employment when used discreetly, since exercise is as advantageous to the lungs as to all other parts of the human frame. The ability to read aloud agreeably is also d truly domestic acquirement; it will be another link in the chain which binds men to 'heir hearths it will amuse the young, cheer the old, and instruct the ignorant.—Journal of Education, art. Female Education." There is a great deal of poetry in the butter trade, as we learn from a Providence grocer, who advertises a lot" of a pre- possessing colour, and sweet as morning roses newly washed with dew." A QUESTION ANSWERED.—A Yankee and Irishman hap- pening to be riding together, passed a gallows. Where would you be," said Jonathan, If the gallows had its due V Riding alone, to be sure." said Pat. NCISANCFS.—The idle levy a very heavy tax upon the in- dustrious, when, by fiivolous visitations, they rob them of their time. Such persons beg their daily happiness from door to door, as beggars their daily bread, and. like them, sometimes meet with a rebuff. A mere gossip ought not to wonder if we evince signs that we are tired of him, seeing that we are indebted for the honour of his visit solely to the circumstance of his being tired of himself. He sits at home until he has accumulated an intolerable load of ennui, and he sallies forth to distribute it amongst all his acquaintance.—Colton's Lacon. ORIGIN OF VKOETABI.ES.—Vegetables were imported from the Netherlands in 1500, there being no kitchen gardens in England. Before thIs tIme sugar was eaten with meat to cor- rect its putrescency. Turnips and carrots are thought to be indigenous roots of France. Our cauliflowers came from Cyprus, our artichokes from Sicily, lettuce from Cos, a name vulgarly corrupted into Gos. Shallots or eshallots from Ascalon.

PRICE OF A FRIGIIT.—A tradesman in London, not 300 miles from Regent-street, recently presented the following btll to one of his lodgers :—"Three Nites Frightnin My Wife By Loud Nois Of Shuling The Dore In lUidelOf Nite Wich is very Unexcusable In Her Present Situation, At per Nite 7s. 6d. -£1. 2s. 6d." We should conceive this individual to be bet- ter versed in the ancient law of the land, than its orthography. There was formerly a price for killing a man. The principle, somewhat modified, is now revived in favour of the fair sex.

THE CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND.-The superintending committee have just issued the following address to the landed interest of the United King- dom, which was adopted at a special meeting, held at 34, Man- chester-street, Manchester-square, London, on the 6th of June, the Hon. Henry W. Wilson in the chair;- This committee, representing the only society of a national charac- ter in the united kingdom, for the protection and encouragement of British agriculture, deem themselves called upon by a strong sense of public duty to address the landed community at this critical juncture of affairs, with a view to making the Ccntral Agricultural Soeiety more effective for thc objects for which it was founded in 1835, a prineipal one hcing to meet, as oceasions arise, overy attack tllat threatens the intcrests of agrieulture.-The anti-corn law delegates, preparatory to the debates upon Mr. Villiers' and Earl Fitzwilliam's motions on the corn laws, demanded on ÙIC part of their constituents a total repeal of those laws. On the other hand, this society, at its last gcncral meet- ing unanimously declared its conviction of thc necessity of preserving entire those laws, and protecting native productions in general.-Im- mediately following the debates in both Houses of Parliament on the corn laws, the anti-corn law and the free trade parties formed a per- manent union, called the Anti-Corn Law League, the object of whieh is to agitate the country on the question of the corn laws, preparatory to a simultaneous national ellort next, session for their total abolition. For this purpose they have rcsolved that, in addition to the funds already subscribed, the sum of £.5000. at least, shall be forthwith raised for the expenses of the present year, to enable the league, during that time, to securc the support of the publie press, to circulate frce trade and anti-corn law pamphlets, to engage lecturers, to print, for cheap distribution, circulars, to disseminate periodically their opinions, and to effect otherwise the objects of the league.—The three first numbers of the Anti-Corn Law Circular have already been published, and dis- tributed respectively to the extent of 10,000,12,000, and 15,000 copies. From the reports which these numbers contain, it appears that the work of agitation is begun, and is being vigorously carried on by hired agents, who have already delivered lectures in about fifty dierent towns and villages. An immense quantity of anti-corn law pamphlets have been distributed, more especially in the rural district. The lead- ing article of the second circular congratulates the friends of the free- trade principle upon the great success of the lecturers, and states that henceforth the repeal of the corn laws will no longer be exclusively a manufacturers' question, as associations for their repeal are forming in the very centre of the corn-growing districts.' Whilst the leading article of the third number, after commenting on the rejection by the Housc of Commons of the praycr of more than half a million of peti- tioners for the repeal of those laws, adverts to thc important duty whieh will shortly devolve upon the clectors of the kingdom, and impresses upon the liberal constitueney that it is indispensable that each candi. date should pledge himself to vote for the total and unconditional re- peal of the eorn designs of thc Anti-Corn-Law League be- ing now fully before the country, the committee of this society are de- sirous of calling attention to means which are required to counteract these designs, as there can no longer be a doubt that it is the aim of the free-trade party to destroy agriculture in the British islands, and to throw this great nation upon the precarious supply of foreign and hostile markets. Private interest and publie duty, therefore, alike stringently conspire to demand that the members of thc landed interest In the United Kingdom should now effectually exert themselve8 to support this society in its anxious endeavours to repel the attacks which, notwith- standing thc recent decision of the legislature, are abont to be made upon the whole agricultural interests of the country.-The primary ob- jects of the Central Agricultural Socicty have hitherto been greatly circumscribed by want of adequate funds. Its committee, however, can- not believe that the agricultural community will allow the only society existing in the scat of government, whose objcct is to watch over their general interests, to remain at such a crisis in a state of inactivity. They thcreforc eonfidcntly trust that a sufficient fund will be raised hy subscriptions among the landed interests generally, to fulfil the inten- lions of the society, and make it instrumental to the great ends pro- posed by its institution.-Upon these grounds this committee urgently call upon all connected with agriculture in the United Kingdom to strengthen the Central Agricultural Society by a contribution, however small, to its common fund; they confidently trust that every person attached to the soil, into whose hands this address shall come, will feel it a primary duty to co-operate with this committee—the whole course anù tendency of events rendering it manifest that the prcsent emergency requires that the most prompt, united, energetic, and continuOUI means should be used for the protection and encouragement of British apiculture."
