FARMERS' AND GARDENERS CHRONICLE. REVIEW OF THE CO UN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK. W HEAT.—Small as was the supply at last Monday's market from all the near counties, it was epiite suffi- cient for the demand, and before a clearance could be effect d, a (icclirie of Is. per quarter was submitted to this was owiujr to the very dull accounts from all agri- cultural districts,combined with the favourable state of the weather for the jrrowin^ crops; and although the imports of foreign were not large, only limited sales of the best descriptions were made oil lower ferius. I lie large millers are now receiving from the northern ports of Europe, their winter pun basi s, and ol course they will not buy under the existing depression of the trade, until they have worked up their pn sent stocks, for low as prices are, no one lias confidence to iniivh.-ise more than lor immediate use, and in this wav supplies get worked up pretty closely as they come forward, and our large granaries of the metropolis have not more than one-fourth of what they would hold ill a very moderate calculation, and some of them not "f» to this point, which is a situation this country never ought to be in under any system there should always j be six weeks' consumption on hand in the various ports of the United Kin>t(icm, to be ready against all aeci- dents.—Trie imports at Liverpool were largre, and the attendance oil Tuesday being moderate, trade relaxed again into dulness, and to' etTeet sales, evell to a UIO- derate extent, it was requisite to give way 2d. to ;3.1, per 70 lb. on all descriptions.— '.t Hull the fanners brought forward a good supply, and only picked j samples commanded as much money as was obtniued Oil the previous week. Other qualities were cheaper, and taken very slowly. Rather an increased quantity ol foreign was offering, and this description was in limited request.—The arrivals at Leeds were largij and to effect sales Is. per quarter reduction in price was submitted to.-A very moderate quantity appeared at Ipswich market; the condition was good, Iwd buyers were found for it at nearfy previous rates, though the trade cannot be cotisi(,"ci-ed itjvtliiii, Lut dull -generally.—The delivi-ius at Lynn were only moderate, yet fully up to the demand. The finest qualities realised previous rates but all other sorts were I.«. per quarter cheaper. — There were very small fresh arrivals of English at Wednesday's market in Mark-lane, but good illlports of foreign traue con- tinued in a languid state, fresh qualities alolle com- manding attention, and such were taken in small quantities for immediate use, particularly the white from the north of France and Belgium.—There were moderate deliveries from the fanners at Edinburgh, and not quite so ready a sale was experienced as the previous week, whilst the imports vere large at the port ot Leith, amounting to 11,2G1 quarters, and that market partakes of the general dulness so visible and predominant throughout the trade in nearly all dis- tricts of the United Kingdom. Sales have progressed slowly at a decline of l,i\ to 2.>\ per quarter, and it is doubtful whether the supplies can be g-ot otf eyell at the present reduced rates, without some quantity going to granary, as no buyer will take beyond his iinnie- diate requirements. Holders seem to have shown undue timidity and pressed sales unnecessarily.—Trade at Glasgow ruled slow, though MO irreat change was perceptible the quantity of foreigri reported at Grangemouth destined for that port, was 7,473 quar- ters, with 1,7'21 quarters brought coastwise.—A fair demand todk place at Stockton-on-Tet s and former rates were realised.— 1 he farmers brought forward a good supply at Bury St. Edmund's, and the sale was (full at It. to 2s. per qijarte, uti(le.- I:ist week's tions.—The supply at Ili i-ii, iii was limited from the farmers, notwithstanding which trade ruled very dull at a decline of 1.?. to 2.> per quarter u.i all de- scriptions.—There was a comparatiwiv small quantity of English offering at Bristol, for whLdi the farmers demanded firmly previous rates, ii,(i qualitiescerfainly were taken to a fair extent; V.1 i; demand for foreign was influenced by the dull advices from London and Liverpool, and had business been forced therein it must have been oil lower terms.— There was a large delivery at Devizes, and there the trade was very dull at a reduction of 1". to 2* per quarter, and some quantity was left unsold. — Only a limited delivery took place at Uxbridge, and very little appeared to be wanted, although offered Is. per quar- ter lower.—Itather a larger quantity was brought !or- ward at New-buiy than of late, the inquiry for which was very i,esti-icted, ;in(] )rices gave w;iy ful;v Is. per quarter.—The weekly average was 38-v. Id. on 80,311 quarters, against 37tf. 9(1. oil 8-2,342 quarters the pre- vious week the corresponding one of the past year was 44.v. ad, on 76,172 quarters.—The fresh arrivals of English at Mark-lane on Friday were quite moderate, but those of foreign were large, amply making- up for the deficiency of the supply of liouie grown, which commands so miserable a price that our farmers have ne encouragement to thrash the few lots of English at market were held at Monday's currency, but our millers showed 110 unxlety too purchase, aifu iiacl snies been forced, lower rates must liave been accepted this will also apply to foreign samples, although the best qualities were not pressingly offered at any reduc- tion. The opinion is pretty general that loss results from almost every cargo imported, let it come from what quarter of the giobe it may, and unless a change take place a great pressure must be felt sooner or later on the consigners. The fresh arrivals at Liverpool were very limited, and holders refused to submit to any further reduction, but the millers refained from purchasing and few transactions took place in any de- scription.—There we*-e short fresh supplies at Wake- field, and fine qualities just thrashed commanded last week's currency, but other sorts could be obtained on rather easier terms. BAHLEY.—The supply of English has been Tery moderate throughout the week, but sufficient for the requirements of the maltsters, whilst the imports of foreign have been tolerably good, and the low prices accepted for heavy sweet parcels have ctrtainly brought forward more buyers, and there lias apfwHred some Ji.tle disposition to invest in this description, from the certainty that it cannot be grown even in Denmark at its present cost, and must be losing the importer considerably much of the importation has no doubt consisted of winter purchases, and when prices were }¡iher. The oldest factors seemed scarcely to expect this article would go down as it has done, but the limited demand for malt throughout the winter months has allowed the stocks thereof to increase ma- terially, the reasonable prices of barley having in- duced many maltsters to take largely in the hopes of a good trade when hot consuming- weather sets in, fii(i this is still looked for, particularly if all hands are enabled to find work as the spring advances, but as the duty day approaches, some holders are compelled to sell at the ruling rates of the times The weekly j average was 2.38. 2d. on 43,078 quarters, against :3, 6(1. on 47,850 quarters the previous week the cor- responding one of the past year was :2" 9d.

BEAN.S.—There has heen a moderately steady Jo- wiaRd for Ilood Eii,,Ilisti at full fiat liglit and inferior parcels are tak^en slowly and at rather reduced rates. A few cargoes of Egyptian liavo ai-i-ived, itid these are selling »n very low terms, losing the im- porter considerably, but no one has courage to pur- chase for investniVnt, notwithstanding the abundance of unemployed cupital ill the eeuntry, and particularly in London this will cOlltlflue t. be the E'a,, until something gees wrong with craps, and then we may go to tile oPpvsitt' fxtreme, for so /Sure ;.IS this eH'I' should tnke pWe there are no stocks of any grain on hand to meet the emergency. The weekly average was 23*. Sd. on G375 quarters, against 238. lo,i. on 7036 quarters the previous week the corresponding one of the past year was 2Sn. Id. on 3179 quarters. PEAS.—No quotable changa has taken place in the value of good samples; the quantity of such in the various markets is Lilljllll, Witik reduced stocks of in- ferior parcels in this port nnd no great increase at any, the low prices checking importations; the farmers briog as few forward as possible, using them for their own cattle, instead of purchasing linseed cakes, which article is much reduced in value, and diiliejllt to place at a reasonable rate, yet it continues to come fo.wrwd to some extent. The weekly average was 24-v. bd. on 875 quarters, against 25s. :3d. on 1141 quarters tb previous week the corresponding one- of the p"st year \In!> :!8,. (¡d. 011 7 oj 7 quarters, FOBEIGN GRAIN.—The continental advices are r,n the wlwle pretty firm, in spite of the dull ac; ount-i from England. Ai Rotterdam the supplies of wheat were scaraely beyond the quantity required for home consumption, and white Zealand blou;fllt to per quarter lor tine while the show of Rhine wheat W:,S by no means lai-^e, the I:C,t q:i;:Ii!i,,s of which were in demand, ( 24 to 03 lb. commanding 30. to and 01 to G2 lb 34.f. to 3.V. per quarter. — At Antwerp no decline could be quoted. I.ouvain red wheat, 62 lb., was worth 36v. (id. per quarter; (i" iu L,2 ]I,. A!jti,ei-p, f;lieiit, Gti white Zealand, 35*. G< per quarter. — At Hamburgh wheat was somewhat flatter. GO lb. red sold at 33.<. be/, per quarter; G1 lb. was held «t 31*. 0'/ per quar- *er- — At Stettin the supplies have been exceedingly small, in consequence 01 which prices of a11 sorts of grain are fi.-m. 02 lb.

Shipments made from barges direct, without being c caned, may be effected at l.v. dd. per quarter less; ill this case the risk of voyage must be much greater, and when it arrives in England the condition will be very lj:id, and weight li»ht.—At Rostock prices fend upwards, aud that weighing 02 to 03 lb. cannot be shipped bplùw 30s. to •!7-v. per quarter. There is no In"rg:il1 for JJrotits ill any of the above quotations if shipped to England. — hell's We tidy Mvtxcuj'cr.

FLOWER GARDEN AND Sni:t;iiu;:I<IES.—Sow con- volvulus major, tropreolum cauarii-nse, and some other half-!¡¡¡I"!Y eJiUJhillg annuals, ill a frame, in such tl manner that they can be easily removed to their p-. r- manent situations at the usual seat-on. The be>t method is to lay some turves into a frame, with the grassy side i down wards. After beating them tiil they are quite flat, the seeds should be pressed into the smooth surface, 2 to 4 inches apart, aud then covered with a little lignt oil. When ready for moving to the borders, cut the turves with an edging iron into small squares, eon- c01Jtaillir. one, two, or more plants in each. 111 this way they will experience little or no check, and will start into the new soil with much greater freedom than if they Inid been confined in pots. Sari flowers may be treated in the same way, as they donot like transporting, audit is desirable to get them into tiower as early as possible. As soon as the primroses and others ot' the i polyanthus family have done blooming they should bu removed from the beds, that the groun ma}' be pre- pared for the summer beauties. Tiie plants which are taken up should be parted and planted in some nice lol-riiv soil in tije and shaded with evergreen branches till their roofs are re-estab- lished in this situation they will prepare themselves for a repetition of their duties next spring. Those who do not possess a stock of these useful plants cannot commence at a better time. Seeds should be sown in the i> serve garden of nollyhocks, dianthus, and other I biennials, arid also ot perennials, especially of those kinus which lfower the first season some of the latter may be sown at once iu suitable situations, where ihev may remain. Iv ITCH EN GARDEN.—Cardoon seed* should now bp sown in 3-iiuli pots, two seeds, in each, and plunged near the glass iu a close coul frame the advantage of this method of raising their:, over sowing the seeds in i the open air, is in the facility whi-h the former affords at planting season, inasmuch as the plants can be ar to their sizes, t all blanks can be avoided. The old method involved ■ consideral.de difficulty in earthing up, as it frequently happened that a very strong plant grew by the side of a very weak one, and to make tiie best of the former, the latter was inevitably buried. P,slev should he I «'-wn in drills, about 12 inches apart, into which a few <> v s.uld be dropped at intervals of 0 inches. The j object iu view is to remove all excepting the best plains in each patch, as soon as trie curl is dis i igusial.de; • as those which are left increa e in size, every alierna.e plant siiould be. removed as they are wanted for use, ar til the ground forked between the remaining plants, to encourage their growth, and so to prevent their run- ning to seed. Soot is a suitable manure for this herb, and is particularly useful in preventing or destroying maggots by which tins plant is so liable to be attacked, j Where there is a large quantity of the spring crop of broccoli stiil unused., the latter heads siiould be selected and lad ill under the shade of a north vail, and to shorten the interval between the last of them and the earliest cauliflowers, the latter should be stimulated oy frequent applications of liquid manure. Il.iitDV FsciT GARDEN.—After removing the su- perfluous shoots of apricots, the re ;i iini;).r on-s should be carefully examined in search of the gnen c.iterpil- i lar, which not only injures the young leaves, Lilt, after eating holes in the young fruit, causes it to gum and grow deformed, or to fall off before it i ,u 'v surest method of ON pests is by gently pressing- the leaves in which, they are lodged bet ween '] the thumb and finger, after wfiich'tfie tree!s sboul.J ie I washed with clean water from the engine. After the fruit is set, more is to be feared from the ravages of the caterpillar than either frosts or storms. Carefully at- tend to the destruction of wasps. At this season eve. y • exisiing wasp is about forming ii net, of which she will become the parent; and if th.se parents are de- stroyed before they have had time to rear me iii- of their younj- one-, as a matter of course their innumera- ble prog.! y an destroyed along with them. Muehiosscf fruit w ;• ne prevented by offering a pennv n-iiead for every '■ )»•, caught before a certain date, II wording »o the lora 11r\ -Miiu the 20th cf May, to the 1st o; June. The distance m-ist of course be limited; but as a large fruit garden is a great attraction, a two mile cir- cuit will not: be too much in a general way. CULTIVATION OF HELT-IWOT IIND TOBACCO IN IRELAND.—The Kirrnier of Ulster' gives an outline of some suggestions made bv Mr. Wood house, of :ort- adown, for the promotion of'toKacco and I eet-root cul- tivntioii iu Ireianci. ami urges the necess' -f agita- tion fur the removal Of tile legislative obsta. to the culture and manufacture of stich produce. It appears that the Messrs. Biac.shaw, of Hillsborough, expended in 1835 nearly 20,OhO/. in the establishment 0f works fur the manufacture ot sugar from beef-root, and were on the point of complete success, when they were sad- denly crushed by an act of parliament proh: ,g SUcli | manufacture; and that a years pr.. ,iv the growth of tobacco was tried in Ireland with perfect f succ.ss, but was totally prohibited by a ]aw for the j protection of the co]olli;¡} trade, TIIE WOUL TuAi,s:r.ee Monday l;lsf, a consider- I able increase has taken place ill the impo.ts of wool into London, ther having amounted to 4 bales from Gibraltar, {>2 frcm Uafflburgh, ;30, from Bombay, (j from Jamaica, 504 from Alfro* 170 r'r> Hufnos Avres, 1015 from Ilobart Town, 3388 from Port Philip, 48 from Trieste, 3 from Marseilles, 63 from the Cap, 3 itwern, siip! 5 bags fro.'B Ii't/iaHu.

The merchants offer less money for pieces, but the manufacturers eannot afford to take a lower rate, with wool at its present price. Liverpool.—The sales ef foreign wool have not been extensive, most of the late arrivals not being yet on the market, but there is more inquiry, and what is doing is at full prices. In Scotch very little business has been reported, and prices are almost nominal.

He seemed very much to feel his situa- tion, and cried the whole of Tuesday night. He "ow and then protests that he is innocent, and that F-liza Tarrant, the mother of the infant, committed th(1 murder. Should no respite be received, this convict will be executed at tlorsetnonger-lane, on Monday morning;, the S2nd instant. NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE BUBCH-IIALL EICPEMENT.—Another hearing of the case between Durie v. Norris came an in the Eccleiiastical Court of York, 811 the 4th inst. It seems tnat Norris had refused several articles proposed by the complainant. On the hearing, however, these articles were admitted by the judge in total opposition to his former deci- SIons, and he condemned Norm; in the costs of the day. It remains now for the plaintIff to prove that Mrs. Norris was not in a fit state of mind at the time of her second marriage.— Preston Pilot. THE ST. HELENS SAVINGS-BASK CASE.—Th« dissatisfaction of the inhabitants of the town of St. Helens at the decision in the case of John and Wil- liam Johnson appears to be on the increase. Men of every station in Lfe consider that anything but justice has been done to the outraged laws o( the |» country, and the depositors are endeavouring to or- ganize a meeting to consider the propriety of pre- ferring other charges against them.— Wigan Times.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES AT NIMIPUD.—In ad- dition to what we stated on a former occasion, we are glad to hear that additional advices have recently ] been received from Mr. I.ayar 1, at Niniroud, by i which it appears that in apart of the building not far distant from that containing the throne, the whole of i the culmarv apparatus of the Mrnarch of Assyria has been discovered.

ACCIDENT IN THE TUUNDER STOIlM-The stotm of Friday was extremely destructive. A man, un- known, was struck dead by the electric fluid near the Nightingale, I.isson-grove, and removed to the Bad- dnigtori dead house. 0 A biliy-boy, 80 tons burthen, was also struck near to Hunuertord Suspension- bridge, and instantly sunk, the crew, three in number, escaping almost by a miracle. 1 he enormous had- stones that fell have destroyed property to a cotisi- derable amount in the suburbs, particularly III the nursery giounds at Kilburn, Fulham, Dt ptfoid, Cum, I)eli,veli, &e. CURIOUS SUICIPF. OF A BRIDEGROOM.—On the morning of Wednesday week George Red fern, em- ployed in a publi-chouse, at Stockport, committed suicide under most singular circumstances. He was to have been married at church that morning, but in- stead of keeping his appointment, he proceeded to various public houses, where lie drank several glasses ef brand y, and at one of these houses lie asked a fe- male servant if she would marrv him. He then re- turned to his lodgings, wrote a letter to a cousin in Manchester, stating his fatal in eittioti, and shortly after telling his landlady he would never be a married m in, blew out his brains with a pistol. The pistOl, which burst by the explosion, set five to the bed on which he was lying, and frightfully mutilated his per- sot). No motive could be usslgned for the commission of the rash act. BRUTAL CONDUCT.—On Monday last, two men named Edwaid Craine and Thomas Gill, proceeded to a lull side on the estate of Henabb, parish of Mai igliold. for the purpose of procuring a bundle of heather for the making of brooms; while thus engaged the proprietor of the premises observed them, and remarked that he should quickly make them remove their quarters. fit accordance with this determination, lie at once set fire to the dry furze and heather, di- rectly ucder the place where the poor men were en- gaged as above stated. The fire spread with great fury, and it was only by rolling himself down the brow of the hill, and falling over the edge of the preci- pice into the river underneath, that Gill escaped, whilst his unfortunate companion, whw was a pen- sioner, aged 80 years, and quite a cripple, was left in his helpless state a prey to the devouring element. After the Hume had subsided, Gill went in search of Craine, whom he found burnt to a cindr, The pro- prietor of the heath has been apprehended,— Manx JJberul. .NEWSPAPERS.— On Saturday a Parliamentary paper was printed (obtained by Mr. BrOlhertoll) contalltllJg returns of the number of stamps issued for newspapers in the year 1849, and of the number of newspapers and advertisement duty paid in the )ear. From the first branch or the return II appears that in the year ending the 5ih of January last, theie were 89,145,010 stamps issued for newspapers. In England and Wales there were 66,159,502 stamps at one penny, and 10,309.233 at one halfpenny. In Scotland the number at one penny was 6,238,205, and 205.000 at one halfpenny. In Ireland there were 6,345.227 at Olle)ellny, and 38,843 at one halfpenny; making the total 89.145,010. In 603 newspapers in tile United Kingdom, as appears from the second branch, there were 2,182,262 advertisements inserted, the duty on which in the year amounted to 158,164/. 16s. The duty in England anil Scotland is Is 6< and m Ireland Is, on each advertisemer.t. THE WINDOW DUTi-Sir George Pecfiel! has olltalned hl annual teturn, which was printed on Saturday,connected with the window duty. The amount assessed in the year ending the 5th April was 1,893,9881., and the net amount received was 1,-813,629/. The number of houses charged was 487,411. In Manchester there were 7,754 houses charged, the duty on which ussessed was 21,925/, and the amount received 20,575/. In Liverpool the number of houses was 11,342, and the amount as- sessed 32,4G I t, and the amount received 28,8561.. whilst at Birmingham the number of houses charged with duty was 5,423, the duty assessed was 16, 1611., and the amnunt received 14,9861 RAILWAY AcciDFNT NEAR St. IIFLENS.-Oil Tuesday se'nriinht, as it luggage train was traversing the branch line of rails from St. Helens Junction to the town of St. lltiens, one of the tnes of the wheels of the Swan, entfine, which was atticiied to the traii) gave way, and drove the engine from tlelitie. This was immediately previous to the twenty-five Kiinutes past three passenger train from St. Helens proceeding up the line which, fortunately, was prevented from coming into collision by the quickness and percep- tion of th men in whose charge the passenger tram was left. The passengers were cbiiged to get out and walk a mile to the main line, and the tram which was to carry them forward was defined near t IIty mintites. Several Indies were so fatigued at tiie jour- ncf, that a railway truck war, sent to them, and they w, re propelled by one of the policemen upon the lire. THE POLICE RETURNS OF THE MFTROP&LIS — Fiom the returns of the Metropolitan Police Com- ni ssiotiers for 1849, it appears that the number of persons taken into custody during the past year exhibits a marl ed increase over the arrests for 1847 and 1848; 62,100 were arrested in 1847, 64 500 in 1'848, find 70,600 in 1849; while the number of committals for trial has undergone a marked diminu- tion, 5 900 persons having been cotnmitlsd in 1847, 5.500 in 1848, and only 4.500 in 1849 The number of convictions, also, was 4.500 in 1847, 4,300 in 1848, and only 3,600 in 1849. Hence it is ev.dent that the arrests made by the metropolitan police are for very petty offer:ces. Out of the 70 600 persons taken into custody, 34,700, or i>eaily half, were discharged by the magistrates, and nearly 32,000 were held to bail or summarily dealt with. A SKETCH OF KOSSUTH. —On the following day, in pursuing my business of the passport, I went 10 Kossuth, among others, to see whether, by his inter- ference, I might obtain my wish. I found 14ie go- vernor of Hungary not more splendidly lodged then his ministers. I was struck by the care-worn coun- tenance of the once brilliantly beautiful num. But his manners were gentle and kind as ever, his necenls pure and transparent, so as as to give a particular charm to the most common expression. It is im- possible t. converse with Kossuth, and not to be con- vinced that nature framed him to influence his nation. But it is not the dazzling brilliancy of his pcisonal attractions which mainly constitute his power over the people. It is his faith in his peoplj, a faith firm and iwesi3tible as the glowing conviction of the an- cient prophets, who were the impersonation of the religious and political feeling of theif nation, and ap- peared before the throne of the Kings of Israel as of- ten as these despised the law.— Memoirs of the I Count de Fulzsky. EXHIBITION OF 1851.-229 plans have been re- ceived at the Palace of Westminster for the building proposed to be erected in Hyde-park. Of these de- signs, 34 have been contributed by foreigners; 128 by lesidents in London and its environs; 50 by iesi- tlents in provincial lowus of 6 by resi, dents in Scotland 3 by residents m Ireland and 7 aie anonymous. QUEEN'S Cc LLIGE, BIRMINGHAM—The local officeis.and finance committee of the Biiiisli Associa tion for the Advancement of Scierne, lield last year at Birmingham, having determined to return to the subscribers to trie loc.,i fund the whole of the ful d., in hand, which will amount to one-half of the sub scriptic.ns, the Earl of D-nirnouih, the Bui at IJar- rowhy, Viscount L fford, the Hon. die Dean of Lich- field, Mr. J Taylor, Mr. J E eicy. tiid other in- fluential sui.scnbtis, have consented to transfer thei1 tila ety to complete the new buildings, museum, library, modf Uroom, engineering workshops. &c, 0' Queen's College, towaids the erection of which, and the purchase of ihe freehold site, the Rev. Dr. ar- nefoid has contributed the muti.ficent sum of 3,000/. Singular AFFAIR. —During the past week the carriages of the genliy in and around the neighbour- hood of Yeado:; have been driven thiough the streets and, sioppmii first at one house and then at another, the inmates o! the carnages anxiously seeking used postnge stamps. In a short time many hundreds were collected. Humour, with lie, hundred tongues, assigned various reasons for the collecting, and also for the use of her Majesty's adhesive likenesses. The following statement, however, may be relied on for its accuracy — A clergyman in London, who shall I he namehss, lately became a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, nnd having an only daughter, he was dt s rous of placing her in a nunneiy ill France, much against her inclination. After many entreaties on the part of the lady, the father consented to foreuo his intention, provided 180,000 stamps could be pro- cured by her within ten days. Her relatives beillg made acquintcd wilh the facts of the case, eagerly sought amongst their acquaintances for the necessary papers. How far they have been successful we have Dot the means of knowing. We are reminded by the above of another like farcial proceeding, weich took place three years since, a gentleman claiming a mil. lion postage stamps before he ptrtlillted III to marry — Leeds Inlctli^eitcer. LIEUTENANT GRAHAM AND INI R. ELLIOTT.— Lieutenant Graham has been unexpectedly discharged from prison, without any pel iLolI or solicitation fiom himself or his friends, ar.d only after it became known that the armourer and a seaman of the Childtrs had "Olle before Mr. Justice Coleridge and m:¡de affidavit of many of the cruelties they had witnessed on board, and also that the treatment received by Lieutenant Graham and Mr Elliott was of such a natuie that the ship's company wondered how they could have borne it so IOllg" These affidavits were first tendered before the Lord Mayor, who, with expressions of sympathy towaids the prisoners, regretted that he had no jurisdiction fit the matter. [ r, addition to these affidavits, a certificate has been received from tlnee petty officers of the Childers, dated March 25, 1850, and declaring that whde serving off board II M.S. Childers, Captain Pitman, they witnessed many nets of crudty, ill their oprnion disgraceful and injurious to the British nnvy. I r. Elliott, who was declared the least guilty, has been allowed to suffer his whole term of imprisonment. THE Allcnc EXPEDITION.—It is said that Capt- Penny is to sail with his two fine vessels from Aber deen, on the 12th or 13th at the latest. He proceeds to Davis Slrails, and touches at DïeveJy, where he hopes to procure the services of two Danish gentle men as interpreters. Thence the ships sail for Jones' Sound, which it is believed leads into Wellington Channel, and by this means they will endeavour to push to the north-west of the Parry Islands, and, follow the most northern of lire two routes to he taken by Franklin.—The four ships forming Captain Austin's Arctic squadron are expected to be ready for sea by Satuiday, the 27th inst.— Ihe Felix, belonging to the Northern Yacht Club, has been appropriated for the service of Sir John Ross. In connection with this last expedition, we publish the follow ing charac- teristic extract from a letter from the Earl of Hard- wicke to Sir John Ross, dated April 9111, 1850 A man at your time of life, undertaking on his own means, so severe and aiduous a service, is a rare and splendid example of devotion to friendship and seivice. If my refusal to subscribe towards it would slup yo II, I would act on this selfish and stingy sug- gestion but as I see by the subscription list you are likely to gain the required sum, I shall give my mite to so good a cause; you will, therefore, find 50l. at your disposal at Messrs lock's and Co's, Clianng- e oss. Wishing you from my heart, all possible success, believe me, my dear Ross, ever most sincerely yours, HAKDWICKE." MR. MACREADY'S FAREWELL AT BIRMINGHAM. — Tins distinguished tragedian,whose first appearance oil the stage look place at Birmingham in the year 1810, made his farewell visit there during five nights of the past week. The characters sustained were Iago, Vjrgitnus, Brutus, Werner, and King Lear. On each occasion the house was filled in every P"It. At the fall of the curtain on Friday evening Mr. Macreadv was called for; and on his appearance shortly after,'he entiie audience rose to receive him. e,; He ihen delivered the following address Ladies ,tii(I ge[illeiiieii- I"or the last time I have appeared before you in a theatrical character. An event like this in my professional life I could not pass by in sdeuce, for it was here that I first ventured, in the very dawn of youth, on an essay in that art which the liberal reception bestowed on me, and the fnendly pred etions attending n; encouraged me to pursue. It WoJs heie, too, that 1 proposed, and indeed had arranged, to make my last farewell on a provincial stage but what man proposes he cannot always answer for accomplishing, and my intention and de- site has been so far frustrated by circumstances that Will prevent this being my hist performance in the plovilices before my concluding series of nights in London. Let me ifcnll the probably forgotten cir- cumstance, tuat I made the choice of the threatre here as the scene of that you hful experiment which was* to determine my life's destiny, for I anticipated f.om the many friends my tonnecticiis had drawn around me, a most indulgent judgment and a welcome en- couragemeit- I nee. scarcely repeat to you, that in so confident an expectation and trust I was not disappointed My reason, too, for desiring to close my provincial engagements here was to mark, by such a token of respect—trivial though it might be — the sense I entettain of that kindness with which you have uniformly greeted me. Since the date of wy first perforrnance-smce the lime when it was announced as the first appeirance of a young gen- tleman on any st;e-iieai ly forty years have elapsed, and during that long period my professional visits here have certainly been frequent enough to satiate you ( C, ies <d no, no, fmm all putts of the house). Still the troops of friends that so partially crowded round me in the May of I.fe have not, I think, been thinned or suffered diminution now, when I have fallen into the sere — the yellow lea! (applause). Many and most extraordinary have been the external changes to attract my notice here; but no ilterat-ioll has occurred in the constancy that favour with which my more inexperimced efforts were received, and with winch you have continued to honour my more matured impeisonations Few, alas of the many friends who joined in the cheers of encouragement which greeted there eaily essavs now remain; bat I feel their genial, geneious spirits seem to breathe strongly still, and that the old lieait still beats the same, uncooltd and unchanged by time (opplaust). For all these pleasing memories, and all these sub- stantial benefits, I am here to render you my parting thanks. By ungrudging labour, and the desire to uphold my art-by seeking to cultivate if it the purest taste, and by preserving in trW study of cha- lacters, coherency,so that each should be a consistent whele, and that each should be successively an im- piovement on the last-I have striven to appear not altogether unworthy of that pat-onage with which you have so liberally, so heartily, and constantly be. friended me (cheers). I have little more to say. J take my leave of you in my professional character with feelings of the deepest gratitude—of the most profound respect. It seems to rife, in taking leave of you, that 1 am parting from friends whose ready help and encouragement were always at hand to cheer me onward through the wanderings of life's journey. Let me assure you that my attachment to my boyhood's lesideuce has never ceased, and will never end. And now—and in the familiar but ex- pressive and significant phrase, in which I embody ,7 every heartfelt wish for the increasing properity of this gieat community, I bid yon-agftin with senti- ments of the deepest gratitude, the profouiulwst re- spect-a last farewell
