She ran the measured mile fur the Admiralty surveyor's report at the rate of 191 knot. (14 miles) the hour, and in her further progress got up to 1:1.2 knots (15 miles); her engines and paddles working so smoothly that scarcely any motion could he felt. An excellent dinner was provided on board the Pottin ger for the party, and after the cloth was removed Mr. Anderson, M.P., one of the managing directors, who pre. sided, after "the Queen and Jt,sal Family" had been drunk. proposed tae health of the Paella of Egept, to whom, he said, out only the company, but the whole British nation wen• deeply indebted for the liberal manner in which he had improved the means of transit through Ilgypt, which had now become the great thoroughfare of communication between the trotted and western worlds. With reg ard to that most important work—the railway through Egypt—he believed he might state, on the best authority, that, notwithstanding the intrigue+ which had been resorted to in certain quarters to prevent it, every ar rangement was now completed, and it would be proceeded with forthwith. Nubar Bey, who responded to the toast in French, confirmed the statement of Mr. Anderson relative to the railway. In subsequently alluding to the proceedings of the Penin sular and Oriental Company, Mr. Anderson stated that, it being understood that the Admiralty would now no longer insist on the exclusion of iron vessels from the contract packet service, the dire•ctors had given orders for the con struction of the first of a class of iron paddle-wheel steamers which he hoped would surpass both in speed and other qualities any of the existing ocean-going steam-vessels constructed either on this or the other side of the Atlantic. They were to be of WO horse power each, and of a corre sponding tonnage, and were expected to make the passage between Southampton and Alexandria in from nine to ten days. The company were also adopting the screw propulsion ex tensively fur certain branches of their operations. They haul no less than five vesseb, of from 700 up to I,SOO tons each, in progress of ten,truction for screw propellers. The first, called the Shanghai, would leave London in a few days fur China, to ply between llonaliong and Shanghai, and would shortly he followed by another. now constructing at Newcastle, for the same line of service. The Ripon and Bentinch have been !undergoing similar improvements to the Pottinger, and will soon be ready for service. The Pottinger takes out the India mails of the 20th to Alexandria. TILE AMERICAN YACHT. —Sonic excitement has been caused es to the course which will he taken by the owners of the Yankee yacht America. When the America arrived, on the 2nd of August, at Cowes Commodore Stevens issued the following challenge Cowes, New York Y.echt Ciuh, in order to test the relative merits of the alit ferent motels of the s 'Pawners of the Old and the New World, propose, through Commodore Stereo., to the Royal Yacht Itron to run the yacht America tag dust any number of era belonging to any of the yacht squadron, of the kingdom, to be selected by the commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The course to be in some part of the English channel, outside of the Isle of Wight, with at least a six-knot breeze. This trial of speed to be made at an early day, to be selected by the commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The fart whether there be such a breeze as the appointed day to be decided by the commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron. And if . on that day there shall not be at least a six-knot breeze, then on the first day thereafter that such a breeze shall blow." The Royal Yacht Squadron immediately made the Com modore, his brother, who is, 1 believe., owner of the America, and Colonel Hamilton, who had come over in her, honorary members of the club, and in a letter dated the Pith of August, Commodore Stevens thanked the COlll - of the Royal Yacht Squadron far their courtesy, and stated that he would sail in the regatta of the 13th. The greatest interest was of course felt in the forthcoming event; but, ou the 11th of August, Commodore Stevens wrote to Mr. Bate*, secretary to the Royal Yacht Squadron, stating that atter he had signified hi, intention to run on the 13th, he had declared he would start against any cutter, schooner, or vessel of any other rig of the Royal Yacht Squadron, on any day before the 17th ; anal that, therefore, he must beg to be permitted to withdraw from his entry on the 13th. The reason assigned is by no means vrtf eCs, , bat she Americans rest euntident an their challenge., anal declare they will run against any yacht for any stake up to 10,000/. The Americans have rent in a request to the Royal Yacht Squadron's sailing committee to be allowed to " boom out," which is against the rules ; but it is believed the committee will grant the request, the same liberty of course being granted to her com petitors. The reason assigned for making the applica tion is, that the great rake in the America's masts prevents her baring the furl advantage of her sails in a match unless she " booms them out." She has remained gristly at her moorings ever since her arrival, with one exception, when she tooa a stretch towards Spithead under easy saii, and crept away nevertheless from several yachts on the same course. It is rumoured that on her way front Havre she literally ran away, hand over hand, from a new cutter of 60 tons, and that she "sailed round another." Iler challenge has not yet been taken up, and all yesterday morning she was lying quietly at Cowes, lent it is affirmed that a subscription has been opened among the ntendwrs of the clubs to raise a rum of 1,0001. to stake agatinat her, and the Alarm and another yacht are named as her competitors. The boatmen are in great dudgeon at the Yankee being allowed " to crow over the gentlemen," and if the match is not made yaehtmen will not be very popular—at all events, about Cowes. Ryde, and Portsmouth. CoUNTY COURT, AND THE BAIL—At the firYnd Court•' of the Northern Circuit, holden at Lam. caster on Monday evening last, a very important rewolution, affeeting the etiquette of the bar with rt fen nee to the County Courts, wa, carried by a large majority. It has hitherto, since the institution of these courts, been consi dered doubtful whether a barrister could, consistently with the old-established etiquette of the profession, accept a brief `m any of these courts without a special fee, i.e. with a fee less than two guineas. This question was brought under the consideration of the Grand Court on Monday evening, and at a very full court it was decided that it was not con trary to etiquette for a barrister to bold a brief in a County Court without a special fee ; but that any barrister might accept and hold a brief in any of these courts with a fee of one guinea only, if he thought fit to do so. It was nut de nied that the etiquette of the profession bad been otherwise up to that time, but it was declared by the court that the Count). Courts were likely to introduce so great a change in a c insiderable part of the practice of the profession, and that they formed a case so very different from that of the courts in which the ancient practice had been observed, that it had become necessary to abandon the old rule, so far as the County Courts were concerned. It was also decided at the same grand court that it was quite iu accordance with the etiquette of the profession for barristers to attend, and to sit iu the County Courts, and to form a bar ther.:, if they thought fit to do so. THE NATIONAL CATTLE 8110 W OF TIIE ROYAL AG ■ICt-LTCRAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY Or IRELAND was . . ened on Wednesday. The grounds and yards of the Royal Dublin Society were appropriated to the exhibition. As it L generally understood that the first day is principally de voted to the adjudication of prizes, the attendance of the , public is not as numerous on that as upon succeeding occa , mons ; therefore, and owing also to heavy rain which fell towards the close of the day, accompanied by light . *tug and thunder, ilia attendance was not as produc tive in a pecuniary point of view as may rationally be ex pected upon the other days. when the exhibition will re main open. The list of prizes would not be ready for pub • lication until they were declared at the banquet last evening (Thursday). Amongst the cattle there are several highly commendable—the swine and sheep are excellent =easy of the horses are of a high order of merit—the poultry are mane, but there are few very good birds amongst the lots. In class A, short horned, for which prizes will be given varying from thirty to floe guineas, there are 93 com petitors. Ia Class B, long-horned, Destine, Herefords, Ayrshire*, Polled Angus and Galloways, there arc 36. In Class C, West Highlands, Kerrie' and other mountain breeds, there aro 2.1. In Cla us D, fat stock, there , are 8. In Class E, hones, 49. In Class I' , Leices ' ten, 137. In Class G, any other long.woolled sheep, 23. In Class H, 11. Ia Class I, Cheviots, 17. In Class K, 16.

In Class It, implements, there are 49 lots, containing a vast variety of most useful , implements, many of which are new. The banquet was to , take place last evening, in the Theatre Royal, Hawkins'- stmt. The council of the society have arranged that it shall not be confined to the members of the society ; the public will be athnissible, and amongst the personages pre sent will be the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, and several members of the corporation. STOPPAGE IN lANCHESTEB.—It wan rumoured a day or two ago that the old and respectable house of Richard Gould and Co. in the fustian trade, at Manchester, had stopped payment, and a private meeting of creditors was summoned, it appears, for 'Wednesday. The balanoe sheet was then found to be not quite ready, and the meet ing was postpoaed to this day (Friday.) The liabilities are estimated at 48,000/., and the assets at about 30,0001. The losses will fall principally upon the bankers and upon relatives. Mr. Gould is connected with the firm of Gould and Cooper, spinners, of Oldham, but this firm is understood to be perfectly solvent. It is expected that a very respecta ble composition will be offered to the creditors. Trai,,elesre Make Sw:an, Lades Wirpool kamdsdioter _ Arn•e ......___ __ P.m Stirling Irerth Vserke 4 43 p.s.

STEAM C034111 - NICATION ItErWEEN ENGLAND AND TR) MAritittr..—The special commitrei• of the council of geveraient having had under their coneideration the pro position of the lieneral Screw Steam Shipping Company or extending to the Mauritius the communication with the Cape of flood Hope, have reported that the proposed arraneement world not meet the vielf4 of the inhabitants of the Mauritius. The S.row Steam Company were prepared, in the event of their offer for the establishment of the line to the Cape heinr au...elite& to extend a branch to the Mauri tius, touching at A 17.04 Bay and l'nrt Natal—the voyage to be performed in .kr days. For this service they would de mand rerun: ration at the rate of tA. 10d. a mile for the distance traversed. At this rate the annual cost for the monthly conveyance of the mail between the Nlauritius and the Cape would he 11,013.Y.,:calculating the di,tauee at 2,410 miles; and the further cost for the extension from the Mau ritius to Ceylon, 2,1e42 mike, would be 9,5117., making a total of 211,602.1 per annum. The committee are of opinion that this sum is wholly disproportionate to the means of the colony. The committee report that regular and .toady communication with India is of nearly as much importasee as communication with England—the imports from India being eqii..l to I t per cent. of the whole merchandise im y The committee are strongly iu d into avour r oth t' e h es . ent of steam communication, at 141,1. a mile, between Ceylon and the Mauritius, and urge upon the S. cretory of State the essential importance of coinhitlim: with any scheme for steam communication be tween the Mauritius and England, a similar communication with India. THE Hun SHERIFF OF SUFFOLK AG tIN IN A DILCSISIa.—The High Sheriff. it will no doubt be remem bered, was in March last placed in rather Jul awkward position, consequent upon a hangman not being obtainable to carry into execution the last sentence of the law upon Maria Clarke, fur the munler of her illegitimate child, by burying it alive. Fortunately for the Sheriff, on that occa sion, a reprieve Caine down ter the unfortunate woman two days before that which her execution was to have taken place. At the assizes, held tit Ipswich on the inst., Maria Emily Cage was eentemed to undergo the penalty of death for the murder of her huebano, James Cage, by ad ministering arsenic to hint. Iler execution IFS% ordered to take plate at Ipswich on Saturday next, in front of the County Gaol, but the ',Me difficulty presented itself as in March. Caleraft, the hangman, on being applied to, could not attend, as he had promised to perform a similar office at Norwich. Application was then made to the hangman at Warwick gaol, but that functionary replied that hr was unable to give his attendance in conse quence of his having engaged himself to perform a like office at Shtewsbury on Saturday. Application was next made to the Secretary of State, setting forth the unpleasant position in which the high Sheriff of Sof ilk was placed, and requesting that the execution of Maria Emily Cage might he postponed. The answer from the Secretary of State was , to the effect that the application could not be entertained, thus leaving the High Sheriff to get out of the • difficulty as he best could. The result is, that he has on his own responsibility ordered the execut oa to be delayed until an early day next week, to suit the convenience of Calcraft. The unhappy culprit appears to be resigned to her fate, hut protests her innocence. Her sons and daughters had a final interview with her pstenlay.—John Mickle burah, of Ihnuideatone, who is now in the same gaol, awaiting his trial at the forthcoming assizes ou u charge of murdering Mary Eaker, his servant girl, by stabbing her with a knife, is in a very low and desponding state, and able to take but little food. It is not improbable before the time arrives for Lis trial, he will have ceased to live. THE OLD IlorsE or COMMONS. This ancient fabric is about to he pulled down and the materials dis pmed of. The furniture and fittings are in the course of being removed, and when the house is fairly gutted out the shell is to be diapuseil of in lots by public auction. The chamber was at first, and for a long period of time, used as the House of Lords, and after the chapel of St. Stephen was destroyed by fire. the Lords removed to what was called the painted chamber, and the Commons took posses- Moo. For sixteen or seventeen years the deliberations of the representatives of the people were carried on in the condemned building, which externally looks more like a large stable or riding school than a senate house. When the Lords were ejected from the chamber they took refuge in the painted chamber, and when the new House of Lords was completed. they flitted, leavirg behind them a bare and unsightly room. In the house just about so be pulled down, several of the greatest parliamentary battles of the last half century have been fought, and several of the lead ing combatants have plumed from the busy scene—some after a ling life of public activity and usefulness, to the retire ment of private life ; and others to that bourne from whence no traveller returns. The rising generation of le gislators have made their exit from the old house, where lat terly they felt at home, end the ancients of the gallery became familiarised to the face and appearance of the house, in which they dotted down so many speeches, and sat for so many years. To those who sat in the body of the house, ! as well as Glow who sat eke tolsear and record the debates, the clearing sway of their old familiar seats must bring back many reminiscences. DE.Vill FROM FIGHTING, NEAR DRIFYILLD.—Two men, strangers to the locality, but known as Thomas Brock leehy, alias " Shepherd Tom," and "Ginger," had been worbng some time among the farmers in the neighbourhood , of Langtoft, in the East Riding of York. Ginger, it appears, " was of a very quarrelsome disposition, and Broeklesby and he met at a public-house on the 4th inst., where they quar relled, but were parted. Some days afterwards they met' in the same place, and Ginger said he would fight anybody in the room. Broeklesby accepted the challenge, fought several rounds, and in the last was thrown by Ginger, who fell upon him. He then refused to fight any more, and, having washed himself, sat down and fell asleep. About' . two hours afterwards he was observed to be frothing at the mouth, and quite insensible, and he died on the following ' evening. An inquest was held upon the body on Friday last, before Mr. L. D. Conyers, when the surgeon who at tended the deceased stated that there were marks of bruises upon his forehead and temples, and that, on making a post rialtos examination, he found a considerable quantity of 'emanated blood corresponding with these external in juries, together with appearances indicating the rupture of a large vessel in the head, which would be quite sufilcieut to account for death. A verdict of manslaughter was re turned against Ginger, who made his escape on learning Om fatal result of the fight, sad is still at large. Deceased was nearly 50 years old, while Ginger was not more than 2d. AND CLERICAL.

The following has been posted at Lloyd's : " I am directed by the committee fix managing the affairs of Lloyd's to request your attention to the annexed letter from the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Bombay, on a subject which has been for some time under the con sideration of this committee. ..... " It is unnecessary to urge upon you the great importance of being able to retain at the port of Loudon, and if possible to secure an increase of so important a branch of trade as the importation of cotton from India will evidently be come. The adoption of the Liverpool system with refer ence to damaged cotton being essential for such purpose, I am directed to suggest, for your consideration, whether, by mutual consent of the assured and underwriter., a practice might net be adopted of inserting a clause in policies on cotton, agreeing that in c tae of sea damage the cotton sh ill, when practicable, be picked and made merchantable. This arrangement has ken adopted already by some merchants, who thereby effect their insurances on more favourable terms, and it is suggested that this practice might be gene rally carried out without prejudice to any interest. The rizumit.ec have ascertained from tke several dock companies that instructions fur such purpose must originate with the importers, and, in inviting the co.operation of the mertantile community of this city, this committee would be happy to receive any suggestions or observations which may tend to promote an object of such great importance to the trade of London. . I am, your obedient servant, Geo. A. IiAL , IED. Secret. 7 " (Copy.) TO TILE COMMITTEE OP MANAGEMENT FO TILE 141140 V LLOYD'S, LONDON. " ' Gentlemen,—l am desired by the members of the Chamber of Commerce at this port to bring under your espeei it notice the tact that a system of business exists in London which does not obtain at Liverpool, and which has not only b.eu found to he deeply injurious to the interests of underwriter!, but threatens at no distant period to dimi nish the business of the port of London, and to withdraw front it mch trade as can be more advantagemusly trausacted ' at the rival port :averted to. . ' I refer to the system practised in your docks, of mak ing the smallest appearance of seawater ou packages " first elms sea damaged,' and, save at special request, avoiding to its that which is rationally and fairly douo at the port of Liverpool, i. e., causing such packages as can without any diminution of the principle of just dealing be " made merchantable," to be so prepared tor sale. '" I would call your attention to the staple of this port in particular, viz., cotton, the slightest stain on which is desig nated as before referred to, and causes id. per lb., equal to' as. 2d. per bale to be deducted, as a matter of course, even at public sales, while front the hard screwing of the article at this port the fair allowance to the buyers would be Map preciable. The system prevails all through dock transac lions, and I am instructed to say that large profits have been made by the buyers of so called " damages. ' The system, no doubt, originated under the Ea.t. India Company's and duck companies monopoly, and should with thew be cowl tiered equally obsolete. " ' It is so clearly to the interest both of merchants and insurers that a practice such as is herein complained of should be protested against, and if possible be abrogated, that this chamber rely with confidence on the earl/ and zealous exertions of your committee to put a stop to Clts toms *kith arc alike unjustified by equity, interest, and 1 Common sense. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your mo,t obe dient servant, 4' • 14/11:4 CONNUIt, Secretary•. Bombay Chamber of Commerce.' " A CHINESE FAMILY.—The list of foreign visitors to this country who have been attracted hither by the Great Exhibition hus just received a very novel addition by the arrival of a Chinese family of rank, per the Lady Peel, direct from Canton. These interesting personages consist of a Chinese gentleman of the name of Chung-Attai and his wife Ahap, accompanied hj her two sisters, and attended by a female domestic. The three ladies possess the genuine small teet constituting the peculiar characteristic of the higher elms females in the Celestial empire. These denizens of the " flowery land" had hoped to hive reached England is time to be present at the opening of the Great Eillilli• lion, but their arrival has been much retarded by contrary winds. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to convey her royal commands to the ladies, through Colonel Phipps, that they will take an early opportunity of procee ling to Osborne far the purpose of being introduced to her Majesty, and they leave London for that purpose in a day or two. Tile NEW CHANCERY Aer.—Yesterday . the new ' act (It & 15 Vie. cap. 63 ) to improve the admunstration of justice in the Cou rt of Chancery and in the Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council was issued.

Great Westerns have been transacted at 811 to 82, and London and South-Westerns at 801, both with the dividend off. Lancaiaire and Yorkshires have receded to 471. The dividend for the last half year on this stock has been fixed at 2 per cent., which, it is stated, will leave 10,3151. to be carried on to the current half-year. This being pay-day, the liquidation of the balances arising out of the fortnight's account has been in rczz ). st, r and appears to have been attended with no i MAUS AIM STOCKS MONEY MARKET. IHIS DAY. Two o'CLoeic. The English stock market has again shown some degree of heaviness to-day. More demand for money is felt in connection with several branches of busi ness, and sales of Consols for cash have continued to offer, exercising, as a matter of course, a depressing influence on the security markets gene rally. An impression is prevalent, that the Bank returns to be published to-night will be less favour able than of late, as showing a reduction in the stock of bullion; and this renders the market more sensitive, although the purchases of the government broker continue, and must in the aggregate absorb a large amount of stock. Of speculative opera tions for a fall, there do not appear to be any at present; the time bargains concluded in Consols this morning have been rather in an opposite sense. Consols are now quoted 3 lower than they closed yesterday, at 937 to 3 for money, and 96! to 4,, for the Ilth September. The prices of the day's busi ness are as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, iNil ; do. for account, 961, ; .Ihrec per Cent. ItedZed, 94,:t. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 99, 991. Long Annuities, 'MO, 7!. The unfunded securities have been more offered to-day, and a downward tendency is evinced. Ex chequer Bills were at first quoted 475. to 4535. pron., but now rule Is. lower, at 4th. to 495. prem. India Bonds mark 555. to 58s. prem. The foreign investments continue to attract only a very limited share of business, and no attention ap pears to be directed to any description but Mexican Bonds. The price of this stuck shows little tendency to rally . from its recent severe depression, in view of the entire absence of any consideration calculated to raise the hopes of the bondholders. A very un favourable view of Mexican credit is taken, and parties are not slow at expressing apprehensions as to the payment of any future dividend, for which . purpose the paltry amounts as yet received are cer tainlv quite inadequate. Bargains are officially marked as follows: Brazilian Old Five per Cents., 911. Dutch Two-and-a-1411f per Cents., tilt; ditto Four per Cent. Certificates, 93,1. Mexican Bands, 29, 1, 29; ditto for account, 29th Aug.,9L. Peruvian Five per Cents., 184'J, 901. Sardinian Scrip, par, dis, par. The following shows the extreme rates at which bargains have been concluded in the more speculative descriptions of foreign bonds during the account now closing : Mexican Bonds 3l: 281 Peruvian Five p r Cents. Spanish Active Five per Cent. 211 201 1)o., Pieoive 6l Jry { Sardinian Scrip A prem. dis. It will be seen that the fluctuations of Mexican bonds have been very heavy. The American stock market remains quiet, with only a limited business offering. Messrs. D.

The number of miles open was, in 1851, 3,8761, and in 1830, 3,6341, showing an increase of 242 miles, or 6 per cent. The average return per mile per week was, in 1851, 681. 166. 9d., and in 1830, 591. 4s. 4d., so that the difference is in fa vour of the present year to the extent of 91. 12s. 3d. per mile. There is thus no diminution in the extraordinary movement which has now for two months and upwards been observed upon the metropolitan lines, and by which the dividends of the current half-year will certainly be consider ably augmented. The most favourable comparison is presented by the London and North-Western, South-Western, Great Western, South-Eastern, Great Northern, and Brighton lines; whilst the Midland continues to show a falling off. The Brighton receipts are swelled in both years by the Brighton Races, and those of the York, Newcastle and Ber wick by the Ripon Races. This ,year's return on the Midland embraces the Leominster Races, and the last scar's the Worcester Meeting. The week under review has been marked by a general reduc tion of fares, with a view to induce the increased excursion movement usually noticeable at this period.
