Mr. J. MARTIN, the banker, push-but this man of the regions of ed the matter farthest; for, "he botheration and bombast knows "wished the House to reject the petition altogether; or, if they "did not do that, never to sepa"rate until they had come to a specific RESOLUTION "NEVER TO REDUCE THE "INTEREST OF THE "DEBT!" nothing of what is passing here. Here men's brains are not in such an "intense" state. We can look coolly at things here; and, whatever Mr. LAWLESS may think of the matter, William Cobbett's fame and influence will go on increasing, until, at last, they will be completed by the Government proposing measures for reducing the interest of the Debt. This will bring us all up to our proper mark; it will put each of us in his proper place; and this will come, or a dreadful convulsion will The come. It is impossible to recollect these things, without seeing what a magnificent triumph the Cobbetts have yet to enjoy over the Lord Charleses and their base newspapers. Ah! it is in vain for the stupid and maliguant reptiles to hope any longer. fact is, they scarcely do hope now. The newspapers can hardly muster up an expression of triumph at my non-return for Preston. There is, to be sure, that "super-human" farrago of bombast and servility, the IRISHMAN, owned by Mr. Joux LAWLESS in Dublin (lately in Belfast); there is that half-gloomy and half-mad vehicle, which puts forth heaps of half venomous and half drunken lies " FROM PRESTON," and points them out to its readers as very curious; "there is this collection of chance-medley morals and politics, whose author will, perhaps, merit a place in the forthcoming Comedy, to be called "THE ORDER OF LIBRATORS;" there is this mass of miscellaneous effusions of intense folly, very near a-kin to intense malice; there is this "best public instructor," under date of 5th July, 1826, telling its readers: "Thus ends the Preston election, "and here must terminate for ever William Cobbett's chance "of entering the House of Com mons; "there is this, to be sure; WM. COBBETT. THE POOR MAN'S FRIEND. I SHALL, in a few days, have for sale, at my shop in Fleetstreet, the first Number of a little work under the above title. I intend it to contain about six Numbers, at Two-pence a Number, to be published Monthly. I intend it to be the Companion of the Working Classes, giving them useful INFORMATION and ADVICE, adapted to their present difficult situation; and especially I intend it as the means of teaching them how TO AVOID SUFFERING FROM HUNGER! I intend to explain clearly to them their rights and their duties. Applications from the country should be made without delay. I shall give one copy of each Number to every working family in Preston, as a mark of my gratitude for their great kindness towards me, and also as a mark of my admiration of their sense and their public spirit. LYING NEWSPAPERS. THESE ruffians have hatched a thousand lies, relative to Preston. LAWLESS has published the most called barefaced in his newspaper, the IRISHMAN. One of the papers said, that, when the Mayor told me, that the Duke of MONTEBELLO "I am was in the Court, I said, as great a man as he." Base liar! I never uttered any such words. My words were these: what "I really do not see, Sir, I have to do with that: I want "to know nothing of Buona"parte's generals." The lying HERALD said, that Dr. CROMPTON answered an appeal of mine by saying, that I was no gentleman, and that he would not answer me." a word uttered. 66 Never was such The Doctor was a constant auditor atmy speeches, from the inn window. The base Herald suppressed my answer to Stanley of the 19th of June (while the Duke of Montebello was in court!); but I shall take care to preserve that in the first Number of " POOR MAN'S FRIEND." I will take care that that lashing shall be remembered in Preston, as long as STANLEY shall dare to show his face there; and, if he be half as well provided with sense, as I saw him provided with SPITTLE, he will never show his face there again.

Wheat sells very languidly at the terms last quoted. Barley, Beans, Pease, and Oats, find few buyers, even at the City, 12th July, 1826. The demand for this article has a little slackened, and the holders are now inclined to sell at a lower price. Perhaps this alteration would have induced the holders to give a little credit, but for the circumstance of a failure which has just taken place, and which has greatly alarmed the trade. The house alluded to is of twenty or thirty years standing, and heretofore of the first respectability.) The state of this house gives rise to apprehensions that there are others in a not much better state. Landed, 60s. to 61s. for the best. invariably ends in loss and ruin to CHEESE.
