After dinner, The Lord Mayon commenced his het of toasts with the lealth of Ilkr Majesty the Queen," paying • just tribute to her Majesty's many high qualities, and expressing an warirst hope, in which the company warmly sympathised !sr her Majesty's speedy restoration to health. The toast ins received :with morn than tbe,usual demonstratioks of loyal enthusiasm. Then followed " His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, the l'rince of Wales, and the rest of the !loyal Family ;" " The Army and Navy." Viscount Il•utitou z and Captain MILNE, R.N., severally Tap soled to the last named toasts. The LOUD MAYOU then gave "The Ent of Aberdeen and her Majesty's Ministers." Ile was quite sure that the toast was one which could not but be acceptable to the eitizens of Leaden. (Applause.) They could all testify to the unwearied dilig. nee of the noble lord and his colleague., and hit constant Mid unremitting devotion to the interests and service of the country, and they never entertained a more hearty and 'locos recegnition of those services than at the present moment. Ile had, therefore, great pleasure in preposiag to them the health of "The Earl of Aberdeen and her Majesty's Ministers." (Cheers.) The Earl of Aliehoetx said—Her Majesty's ministers ilia), eat juice in receiving the hospitality of the head of the City ot Locdoo, and they have reason to be doubly grateful tie the present occasion, when their names have been so highly distinguished by your lordship's mode of introduc tion, and so warmly accepted by the company. In their same, therefore, my lords, ladies, and gentlemen, I beg to tender my most sincere and heartfelt acknowledgments. (Cheep.) Your lordship has been pleased to speak in high terms of her Majesty's government—in terms fu too fluttering, at least, in es far aa concerns the individual who has now the honour of addressing you. It is true that our beat endeavours have been devoted to the promotion of tho putlie prosperity, sad it is a pleasure to know that they are appreciated by the distinguished company I sea around me. (Hear, hear.) Still I cannot but feel that if a man wanted a practical les ion of humility, the incidents of the situation which I have the honour to fill would daily amerces it on his mind. No doubt it is attended by honour, power, influence—every thing, in short, that can stimulate ambition ; but then, if, on the other hand, we look to the responsibilities of the ace, the great duties daily required, and the danger of the ilighteet =Woke, then is much that might sometimes tempt even the stoutest bout to despair. (Hear, hear.) This must be, this his been, the cote with the meat eons minding height, and the most untiring zeal ; and hew much more so meat it be in the case of sac who has a deep senile of hie awn deficiencies. (No, no.) My lord, I should feel very deeply the discouragement under which I labour were knot or the bright prospects which at the ereient moment &pion to be opening on every side en this great country—if I did not see the pc uplo surrounded with a prosperity and eantent which is utipaiolleled in their history, and inhibit ing euoieations of progress which might in vain be looked foe in many of the notions of the world. (Hear.) Of course, I am act so presumptuous sato attribute these happy results to the exertions of her Majesty's mic 'sten, but I must claim for them the credit of having acted well and wisely in firmly adhering to that enlightened system of financial and commer cial policy which was firmly established by the great minister whom we have let by an untimely cud. (Cheers.) The present government cannot claim the credit of having ob tained these advantages; but, at least, we may boast that we have eadeavourea to preserve them unimpaired. And this leads me to say a word—and but a word—aa a subject which now engross.' the public mind. My lord, I would gay that the policy, the ineential policy of her Majesty's government is a policy of pesos. (Very partial cheering.) I have no doubt that my:d.stirotuiseed friend near me will echo thst sentiment. (Ilse French ambassador bowed In cokes etas/wag bet it can hardly be necessary in this great centre of iniio try and commerce, that should assure your lordship that no e ff ort s h a ll b I wanting on our parts, compile's% with the honour and the true interests of the country, to_ pre, that first of earthly blessings. The Loan MAYuy, again rise, and said they wen Immured with the presence of tho French Ambassador— cheers)—and he was son he only represented their feel in giving to that distinguished noblemen, in their lame, a hearty welcome to the City of London. (Great cheering.) Although his excellency had not been long among them, he had already won golden opinions, and, aa the representative of his country, had exhibited a frankness, a endear, and a courtesy which had woa the hearts of all with wheat be associated. His coming among them that day was illustrative of that harmony which existed be tween these two great countrie•—• barites, which could lot foil to esstrib.te to the prosperity of both. (Hear, bear.) He had great pleasure in proposing " The health of lie Excellency the French Ambassador, and the other Foreign Ministers pretest." Itheellthey the Count NI - Atmism returned thanks la Frenek. He begged to thank them in his own name and that of his colleagues foe the magnificent hospitality of which they had been the partakers. They were always de lighted to accept of the invitations of the city of Lembo, winch was so well represented by the Lord Mayor ; and Ms the present occasion they were still meth graded at laving the oppOrkuoaty of meeting her Majesty% minktin. (Cheers.) As regarded himself, be had tee musk ream so be satisfied with his relation' with them not to seize with eagerness every occasion of expreesitig the sentiments with which he was animated towards them. (Cheers.) Yee, the hordiality which existed in the relotions between England and France, and upon which he had felicitated himself last you in that very hell, reposed at the present moment upon Sew bases, which could not fail to consolidate and assure their permanence. That happy result ought to be hailed With joy by all, for, oboes all things, it assured the peace of Europe for the future, and recta at the present moment —(loud tiro)—and be hoped that very shortly facts would Occur to sanction that assertion. (Applause.) The Loan MAYOR, after expressing his regret at the absence of nearly all the judges upon their official duties, gave the health of the Lord Chancellor and her Majesty'. Judges. Tee LORD Csoexcuttoa responded, observing that if his noble Maud near him (the Earl of Aberdeen) had im pressed upon them the importance of preserving peace, be would Naiad them that their security and prosperity as a Ratios was sillily secured by a due administration ofjus tice. (Hem.) He thought on that account the judges had tome claim upon their attention and consideration, in seeing that justice was fairly and promptly administered. During the time he had presided as one of the judges is West minster Hall, be must lay that be had always been most ably supported by the authorities and citizens of London In upholding the law and the institutions of the state. The next toast given from tho chair was, " Earl Gran ville and the House of Lords." Ertl Ctitaxvltt.e, in responding to this toss% said that notwithstanding the exceedingly kind mann. r in which the Lord Mayor had coupled his name with the House of Lord., he almost regretted the unintentional results of that statute of Hz my VIII., which gave precedence to certain Ofikes--some of which were obsolete, and others had altered their relative position—and in virtue of which he was then called upon to represent the gratitude of the House of Lords for the honour done them by that distinguished assembly. 11 , ., neat toast was Lord John Russell and the House of Cornttons." (Loud cheers.) Lord J. Rvisszu.—My lord, I fe:l highly honoured at being called upon to represent the House of Commons, and trust that the conduct of that boas, during the present sta tion has been such as to entitle it to the confidecce and gra titude of the country. (lieu, hear.) Very important que,C.Ans have been submitted to the house at the com mencement of the present session. They have been asked Whether they thought it wise to persevere in the financial and commercial policy which hail for so many years pre vailed in this country, or whether they would adopt a policy condemnatory of the tenting system. I trust, my lord. And gentlemen, you will be of opinion that the House of I. , matins have acted well end wisely for the interests of the country, when by an overwhelming majority they have decided that that policy had been beneficial, and that they would persevere in carrying it out. (. lien," and cheers.) But that great question has now heen taken out of the CBs of politecal maid. It is no longer a matter which divides political parties, although ft is a proof of how slowly nations learn or prise the great blessings they enjoy; that is only now what was taught for years, and proved by argument, as ad nutted to be one of the greatest *ounce of the wealth, and prosperity, and comfort of the great body of the people. (Hear, bear.) There are other question., which, as they still remain subjects of discussion—as they still remain questions of political heat and dispute—this is not the place to refer to. One observation, however, I shall make, and • that is. that if ever the Muse of Commons or himself de - Keyed well of the City of London, it was in their rev,ion of the tuition of the country, in searching out where it acted unfairly and unequally, and in endeavouring to relieve the ! people at large from the duties and taxes which bore upon articles of the first necessity, and which, according to three principle., ought net properly to become oteects of bevel taxativa. (Hear, hear.) We have so endeavoured to Sr. range the revenue of the country that the public credit should be steadily maintained. We have taken care, in re pealing and revising tax. s, to provide such a reveille° that the public creditor should he duly paid; that the great set vices of the country should be ma intained in full efficiency, and that the revenue should be fully equal to all its de mands. (Cheers.) I hold that in doing so, the House of Commons has well discharged the solemn duty that has been imposed upon them. I agree entirely with what my noble friead at the head of the government has sail with regard to the blessings of peace, and it is one of those bless ings that the public audit is kept high, and that every class of the community partakes of the benefits of un improved commercial policy. It has been my fortune in the House of Commons to contribute to some cheeps ire its constitu tion, which had the effect of introducing intothet assembly many more persons connected with trade and manuiactuees than had sat there in former times; end 1 trust that my • share in these changes will not diminish that kindly ex pressed feeling of approbation for which I have now the h.mour to return thanks. (Loud cheers.) The LORD Meyoa gave the Duke of Newcastle, and the Woe ha." (Cheers.) The Duke of Naive:aims briefly replied. The Earl of Anglin:es gave the "Health of the Lord Mayor." The LOUD MAYOR felt grateful for the comp:iment, and rejoiced to see at his table sea distinguished a company. He had done his beet to sustain the reputation of the Mansion. house for hospitality, but aid not forget how splendidly that hospitality bad been rivalled in a neighbouring country, the distinguished representative of which sat beside him (kind cheers.) It was not long since every dour in Para had been thrown open to the corporation of London, and he felt regret that any political chauge hail deprived the Lard Mayor of London of the opportunity of reciprocating the hospitality of the l'refect of the Seine. However, a time was soon coming when he hoped they would all meet hap pily again. (Hear, hear.) His lordship, in conclusion, gale The Attorney and &inciter Generals." The Summon-Gee vital. felt peculiar pleasure in re sponding to the toast, is having in his professional capacity been frequently entrusted with the interests of the corpora tion of London. Ile could bear witness to the goal mid integrity with which these great revenue s were appropriated to public improvement. (Cheers.) The Luau Maxon announced as the next tout, " Lord Puhnereton, Secretary for the Home Department." The cheering on the announcement of this toast was unusually demonstrative, and was protracted for several minutes. When it had subsided his lordship paid a brief complun. nt to Lord Palmerston's high qualifications and great public services, and expressed a hope that the metropolitan im provements, in which his lordship was known to take so deep an interest, might be carried out successfully to com pletion. (lieu, hear.) Lord PALMIRSTOX rose to respond to the toast, and was received with unmistakeable signs of welcome by the entire company. He said, "My ion!, I beg to return you my sincere mud cordial thanks for the very kind manner in which you have proposed my name, and I beg also, ladies and gentlemen, to thank you cordially for the flattering manner in which you have been pleased to receive it. It is, indeed, a very great satisfaction to me to find that the manner in which I have endeavoured humbly to perform the duties of that situation with which it was bee M.jest)'s plc aaaaa to entrust me, has met with your approbation, and I trust I may not be presumptuous in eon &aiding that that very generally exprtisrd approbation is shared by the country at large. (Loud cheery.) My pre sent office places me more than before in direct and fre- quent communication with . my countrymen at home, and I have great satisfaction in thinking that if I should in the smallest degree deserve the commendation which the L erd Mayor has bestowed on me, my success has been au easy task wherever the City of London was concerned, for there could not be • more able body of men than the municipal representatives of that city, or oce more able to co-operate with any branch of the government with which they might be placed in connexion. (Loud cheers.) We have had recently • most remarkable in stance of their promptitude and cicarsightedness for, acting in the true spirit of the British conetitution— ever open to progress and improvement, but building im provements on the ancient and stable feundetions—they have concurred in the appointment of a commission, not fur the purpose of overturning the institutions of this City, but of inquiriag whether the lame of time, or the change o f circumstances, may have led to the expediency of sour slight modification or expansion. (Hear, hear) The rea diness with which the City of London hes co-operated in the formation of that commission has, I trust, been met in a proper spirit by the government in the selection of com missioners of commensurate ability and integrity. (lieu. hear.) My lord, I may, Perhaps, be permitted, haring been so honoured, and having discharged the pleasant trod( of acknowledging my obligation, to usurp fur a moment your lordship's function, and myself to propose • toast. (Hear, hear.) We have drunk the health, of that great and distinguished body of which I have the honour to he an unworthy member—l mean the House of Commons—and, as in scientific formula the whole in cludes its parts, it might be concluded that sufficient honour had been done to each individual member, but in this as unibly I hope I may be allowed to make an exception to the rule by proposing as a separate toast the health of the metropolitan members. (Loud cheers.) The circumstance and the place point out the fitness of that toast. because that reform to which the municipalities of this country owe so many privilege* is, in • great measure, owing to the ex ertions of the metropolitan members. And amongst those members there is one whom I should wish to distinguish, one not more conspicuous for his parliamentary talent, and the assiduity with which he performs his public duty, than he is for his personal elevation of character, and above all for that chivalrous devotion to the unfortunate and the sills, which Is so well known as to cause all who hear me to feel at once that I am speaking of Lord Dudley Stuart. (Loud cheers.) Bat, my lords and gentlemen, I am not wholly disinterested in proposing the toast just now, be. cause I hope to obtain the assistance of the metropolitan members in promoting thou material improvements in the city to which I attach • high importance. It is not the in stitutions only of London that require mending; she must also mend her ways. (Cheers and laughter.) The vast human tide that daily passes through them must have wider means of transit. (Hear, hear.) I remember some years since, when the great sculptor Canova was here, he was greatly struck with London. He admired the con- Union footways, the comfort of the separate bosses, the order, sad the patrol security of person and property. Having enumerated ell these advantages, he concluded his panegyric in that strain of hyperbole which is peculiar to southern climes, saying that if London bad only a little mon light and pure water, it would be a paradise. (Cheers and laughter.) I would humbly alto ask the assistance of the metropolitan members in patting an end to the lanillatteall which prevent our attainment of these desiderata. (Hear, bear.) A poet of the last een tory apostropkbeed "The Thames translucent wave"— ' 1 (laughter)—which he described as " Like a broad mirror," but I fear that the influx of the sewers bas dimmed all that mirror's lustre. (Continued laughter.) I therefore call oa the metropolitan members to &mist me in restoring the Thames from • state of liquid mud to • state of translucent wave, so that the greatest commercial city in the world may become also the meat healthy and the most creditable to the architectural taste of its inhabitants. (Cheers.) Lord DUDLzy &Mane said, that in rising to ac knowledge the compliment which had just been paid to the representatives of the metropolitan boroughs, he felt very great difficult y in expressing his surprise, that he should he the subject of such warm eulogium from one who not only filled high office in the councils of his sovereign, but had also filled the whole world with his fame. (Hear, hear.) It was a circumstance of which any man might be proud, but he would not trespass upon the company with any lengthened attempt to express his gratification. He be lieved that the metropolitan members were animated by but one feeling, that of faithfully representing the consti tuencies that had sent them to parliament, and that they would always fallow an independent course, resolved to do whatever their consciences dictated, no matter who, or whet might be the government in power, but that they would always have the greatest pleasure in supporting a govern ment which should make the preservation of that greatest of all possible blessings —peace—consistent with the hon ourable and manly observance of our engagements to our allies. (Hear, hear.) The Duke of ARGYLL briefly proposed " The Court of Aldermen,"and Alcinous FAZSCOYII returned thanks. Count WALZWiIit gave "The Lady Mayoress," and o alter ono or two leas important toasts, the cdmpany ad jaurned to the drawing-loom.

MANAGEMENT OF THE NATIONAL GALLERY. The parliamentary committee on the picture. in the National Gallery sat again on Friday. It consist d tit Colonel Mure (the chairman), Lord Seymour, Lid Etch°, Lord Graham, Mr. Viroon Harcourt, and Mr. Baring Wall. The principal witness examined was Mr. Morris Moore, who meted that he had paid great attention to the purchases of pictures and to the way in which the question had been dealt with by the tru eeee the Nation 0 illery. The gr,tiods of his dissatisfaction were to t h e effect that the majority of purchases were of a very Wirier school of art, and that luau,' of the pictures so Purchased with the national money were not really what they professed to be ; they were s, urious. His oblivions applied to purchases since ISO, Moee which period 'there bed been 18, and ow of that number ouly one, in his opioion, the " Vision of • Knight," by Ra phael, was really unexceptionable. Only six espirid to be productions of the great period of art, and the re maining twelve were all of them Wert. .r. The price tint had been givin tor the first or superior cleat was objection. able whin command with the price that had been given elsewhere for pictures of the same masters, daring the same interval, of gnat, r value and greater excellence, and which had bern sld for half the sums, the trustees ying the same opportunity of purchasing them. The et'e of the , " Boar Hunt" of Velasquez was • disreputable tick on the trustees, wbo purehai d it unit. r the belief that it was *amn to be exported to the King of Holland, and the manoeuvre stimulated the trustees to purchase it, so that it might not be lost t.l the country. It afterwards turned out that the pi , ture had only just returned from the king, who had ' rejected it and rent it beck. The " Boar Hunt" and Lord APhburtou's " Volaqutz " were very clever and agreeable, but he crrtainly would price paid for them, or have lout himself to the deception ,1 practised upon the trustees. Mr. Ferrer, who was sitting in the bodyof the committee,' here roe., and, addressing the metallic, somewhat ex citedly, raid it was a falsehood to assert that he or any one else had practised any imposition on the trustees io the sale of the " Boar Hunt,' and he had no objection at that mo ment to give 2,010 guint as down fur it—the price that be gave Lord Cowley fur it. Mr. Moore expressed himself indignant at the use of Ditch offensive language, when, to avoid the exchange of mere elevated language, the committee cleared the room, and on our re-admimion. Mr. F was szain.ned, and admitted that the picture had returned from the Palate of the King of Holland, to whom he had sold pictures presiously, and that Mr. Baring Well tilled at his establishment, and with the coricurri nee 1 of the late Sir R. Peel, the picture was purchased to the National Gallery. Ile went to Borland and returned aids it, and hod no doubt he could place the p.cturu with the King of Holland now; but when Mr. Moore saw tEc pic ture it wit prior to its going away. His Majesty would have purchased ir ' but said hu had then laid out as much money as he wished. Mr. Baring Wall, M.P., then left his place at the com mittee table, and volunteered evidence. He said he men tioned the subject matter of the picture to Sir it. Peel, finding that on visiting Mr. Ferrer, accidentally, it was 'packed up in its cue to go, typarently, to the King of Holland, to whom it was directed. He (Ur. Wail) thougl.t it was going, whereas, it wood appear, it bad returned. Sir it. Peel advised that it should not, even if it were going out to the King of Ilollaud, be bought up, as there must be some authority from the House of Cr orrianne, and some acquiescence on the part of the country first. Ile (Mr. Wall) referred to Sir Robert's opinion, but three weeks after Sir Robert said, that " as all L ondon was out of town, and as there would be no meeting of the trusters till the following station, he would take upon himself the pur chase of the picture, and he (Mr. B. Wall) therefore obtained it at the price from Mr. F , in Justice to whom he would state that he varied from his price. He (Mr. Wall) west to Ferrer, told him that negotiations were pending shout the picture, and should be obliged if he would give him (Mr. Wall) the refusal et' it before he sent it elsewhere ; and on Sir It. Peel stating he was willing to do it, he (Mr. Wall) went to Ferrer, told him the circum. 1 stances, and the n stilt was that the picture was purchased ' with the most direct concurrence of opinion ho ever recut ' lected say picture to have been purchased. Mr. Moire said he had only en this part of his cadence to add he wait ready to state upon oath that the converse. tion with I' occurred after the picture had been returned from. the King of Reiland. The witness (in continuation of his main evidence) said that had &001. been given by the trustees fur the " Adoration of the Magi," by Velasquez, instead of 2,0.101 ., it would have been more in character with its value. The trustees had hau many opportunities of purchasing far better pictures The cost to the nation of the last nine pictures, decidedly of an inferior character, had been 13,1431. Some of these were al together inadmissible at the price, others were literally bad. Ile would accept as a gift but would not purchase five of these—the Boar Rust, the portrait of Rembrandt, the Judgment of Paris, and the &Omni. The trustees at the ' same time might have bought the four 'Upbeats for what 'the " Bur Hunt " of Velitsquts and the alleged Guido had cost them. The " Tarquin and Lucretia, by "titian, the property of Joseph Buonsparte, was put up at Uhsistie'a for 7001., hut the trustees made no " bid." The trustees might be legally, if not morally, responsible for the purchases since 1813. Ho had placed confidence in their keeper, who was supposed to be an artist of &mi. nence, and had conferred all the authority on him. Ile regretted to see in the present day how daubs were pre. 1 ferred to masterpieces. The fault was probably in the taste of this country, which preterred a low style of art. The trustees had pandered to a vitiated taste, and, had they purchased better pictures, would have educated the people better in the principles of art. As regarded the question of a " proper site" for the National Gallery, he thought that to remove it elsewhere would destroy its very object—that of centrality. ll* did not think the pieturis suffered in the slightest degree from atmospheric ioflut aces or smoke. The Claades and Titian. wire subject to the same influences as in Italy, and had not suffared either here or there. Would rather have the present gallery en largrd where it is than removed to a distance elsewhere, ' and a great sacrifice of money should be made to retain it where it is. The committee meet today to further consider their eport. BILL FOR TEE SUPPRESSION OF BETTING HO USES. Lord Palmerston's bill with this object has been printed. The following are its most important provisions : No place shall be kept for the purpose of the owner, or occupier, or any person employed by such owner or occu pier, batting with persons rnortieg thereto, or for the put , pose of any money or valuable thing being received as the consideration for any promise, express or implied, to pay thereafter any money anon) event relating to any horse race, or other race, fight, game, sport, or exercise, or as for the consideration for securing the paying or giving by some other person of any money or valaablo thing on any such event or contingency as aforesaid ; and every howls, office, room, or other place opened, kept, or used for the pur poses aforesaid, is hereby declared to be a nuisance and con trary to law.

PEMBROKE YARD, JULY 22.—Last evening a serious mishap occurred in the dockyard. Early and lats have workmen been employed in completing the magnifi cent vessel the Caner. At hall-past five yesterday ehc was ready for launching. The Lady Georgians Balfour (.laughter of the Earl Camden), named her, and then severed the old which suspended two pigs of iron destined to descend and liberate the vessel. The noble fabric glided down the clip with.every appearance of success, but just on reaching the water without any known cause, she came to a dead stand still, and notwithstanding every possible at tempt to move her, there she stuck hard and fast. To shore her up iu that position was then resorted to as the tide fell, at which ' the whole force of the dockyard was employed all night and little or no injury has as yet occurred. On the strictest examination at low water no imaginable cause fur the dis c aster could be discover d, and whether checked too soon in her progress, a want of sufficient water, or whatever else it may have been, all remains conjecture. Built an the solid rock, there is not the slightest sinking of the launching apparatus. nor any blame attributable to the shipwright officers. This morning another unsuccessful attempt was made to move her, and every means will be again tried this evening, the more so as now the Itbadamenthus has arrived with riggers and seamen to aid in the endeavour. Woy they had not been here some days prior is astonishing, for with but a handful of seamen attached to the port their service!. were absolutely necessary a week or more agn. They were despatched from Portsmouth, but not near early enough. Should she not be got off to-night it will become necessary to block her up and take to pieces for examining the whole of the launch. The disappointment was great to the thou sands of visitors, and every bosons seemed to sympathize with those in office who had any connexion with the pro ceedings. Great credit is due to the workmen of the es tablishment for their unhesitating exertions throughout the night, one and all worked with a spirit that 'hewed the iuterest they individually seemed to take in the affair, and which no doubt will meet with its due reward. Poursuount, JULY 24.—The Spithead fleet re mains at anchor in the order that has already been re ported. It was yesterday afternoon augmented by tke arrival of the Terrible, 20, paddle-wheel steam frigate,' Captain M'Cleverty, from Woolwich. The Agamemnon, 91, *crew steam ship, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C. 8., will alto rejoin the fleet in a few days. She was taken out of dock yesterday, having had 14 inches of false keel added to her alt. She was taken into the dock on Thursday to have this addition of false keel, and exertions were made, in cootequenee of the present state of affiirs abroad, te get her out again yesterday, as, had she not gone out then, the tide would not have suited for a week or ten days hence. The dockyard officials deserve credit for the expedition displayed in this ease. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw steamship, Captain H. B. Martin, CB., has not yet returned to Spithead from her trial cruise ; she is expected daily. The Nelson, 120, advanced ship, was brought down the harbour yester day to be docked on Mon:lay to have her bottom examined. The Fire Queen, steam-vessel, Master Commander Paul has been put into requisition as an addi tional despatch vessel, to attend on the court at Osborne. None of the members of the royal family have, however, been afloat during their present visit to o.borne, the weather having been very unfavourable. At this hour (3.30 p.m.) it rains heavily, and the wind is gradually working up to a gale, with every appearance of a rough night setting in. The Owen Glendower India um, arrived at Spithead on Saturday night Glendower, the 'themes, en route to Calcutta. In working down Channel she got on the Goodwin sands on Thursday, but got off :gain without damage. DEVONPORT, JULY 24.—The COMUS, 14, Com mander M. A. Fellowes, sailed on Wednesday for the East India station. The Sprightly, steam tender at Portsmouth, Muter 0. Allen, arrived un Wednesday, and sailed on Thursday fur Portsmouth, with superrumerariea.

Once more we find miracle, s upon the eve of this brilliant meeting, where rank, hellion, and beauty combine to lend their influence to the promotion of our most popular national sport. Goodwood INMSCISrII all the attractions which every other race meeting possesses separately— beautiful scenery, a splendid course, select company, and sport not to be excelled anywhere. The first meeting at Goodwood took place in April, 1802; on that occasion there were three ',styli' running, and sixteen races, the aggregate value of the stakes being about 1,0001. Notwithstanding the support it received from the aristocratic patrons of the turf, Goodwood meeting did not progress, and in 1810 the races hod dwindled dawn to two days' sport. In 1812 a successful effort was made to give renewed vitality to the recta by the es tablishment of the Goodwood Cup, since which time the meeting has been gradually inere:sing in dignity and importance until it is second to no other reunion of the kind throughout the length and breadth of the land. To the high and honourable character of the noble owner of Goodwood, and to his princely patronage and hospitality, the public are indebted for the maintenance of a meeting which is justly designated " The Turfite'a Model Meeting"—tor the r swell. nee of the arrangements, tl.e abundance of the sport provided, an I the attingent !Teem adored for preserving the meeting from the intru sion of the black sheep of the turf. Such characters find no harbour in Goodwood, and a iliaelumed daw mickt as well hope to perch in the Stock Exchange as a notorious defaulter to obtain admittance to the duke's park during the race week—a regulation that should he carried out strictly at every race meeting in the kingdom. The programme for the four days is the most abundant that has ever been put forth on a similar occasion. Not only are the events more numerous, but they are also more important in character than usual. One novel and in teresting feature has been added to the sport by the estab liahment of the Great North and South of England Bien. nial Stakes, to be run for the lint time this year at Good wood by two-y r-olds, and next year at York when they are three.yr-olds ; an interesting competition will he there by induced between the north and south country horses. Should the weather prove fine, this will doubtless be a most brilliant meeting ; all the sporting celebrities of Eng land muy be expected to asse mble, and we understand that extensive arrangements are being made at Goodwood Rouse, for the reception of a large circle of distinguished visitors, The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com. pany have made every necessary arrangement to meet the requirements of the public during the week. Of course everybody will go by rai!—the road is now nearlya tradition? The communication with those plrasant sea-bathing ptices Worthing and Bognor—with the picturesque town of Arun del—the old city of Chichester and Portsmouth, famous for its fortifications, harbour, dockyard, &c., will be fee quern, rapid, and certain, so that visitors to Go odwood may without difficulty locate themselves according to their in clination at any of these places daring the meeting. The programme fur to-morrow (rttEsuar) comprises the C Stakes, which closes this day ; a Sweepstakes of 300 FOY/. each, for 41r-olds; the Ham Stakes, the Oratwicke Stakes, the Lavant Stakes, four matches, and a selling stake, which closes this day. On ‘VEDNESDAY these will be the Goodwood Stakes, the Drawing Room Stakes, a sweepstakes of 300 son. each for fillies, a similar stake for colts, the Great North cad South of England Biennial Stakes ( first year), the Stewards' Cup, two selling stakes, and a handicap plate of 501.; the last four close to-day. THURI.DAY . ti attractions will consist of the Cup, a series of Bentinck Memorial Stakes (oae of them being for 2-yr olds, one fur 3.yr-oida, and one for 4-yr.olds), a Sweepstakes of 100 NM. each for 3.yr-olds, the Racing Stake., the Sussex Stakes, a Sweepstakes of 200 son. each for 2-yr-old fillies, a Sweepstakes of 50 NM each for three yn old colts and fillies, the Mulecomb Stakes, the Duke of Richmond's Plate, and the Anglesey l'late. The last two close to-day. FRIDAY will wind up the meeting with the Chesterfield Cup, the Nursery Stakes, the Nassau Stakes, a Sweepstakes of 100 son each for 4 yrs old; the liens Biennial Stakes (first year), two matches ; the March Stakes,which closes on Wednesday ; the Queen's Plate and the Cowdray Stakes, which are to be entered for to-day.

Oa Saturday tic members of this committee, Mr. G. A. Hamilton, chairman, Sir T Herbert, Sir J. Duke, Mr. Butt, and Mr. S. Leine, proceeded to take evidence to establish treating against the sigma of Mr. Aspinal!, the sitting tau miter. James Budd, a publican, the first witness examined, de posed that he delivered a bill for refreshments supplied to voters to Mr. Dewerden, an active member of Mr. Asni nail's committee, and that he subsequently applied to Mr. Hartley Baldwin for the amount of it, but Mr. Baldwin. who was also a inembet of Mr. Aepinall's committee, told him that ho had no money, and that they were not going to pay the bills yet. That was before the inquiry into the previous election in 1802. Mr. Dewerden, who had Mr, Bailey with him, mitered breakfast for about 40 person., at witness's house, on the last nomination day, mud wit ness also supplied Avinall's committee with convey ances. Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Baldwin canvassed him at the election in 1802, but not at the last electioe. Had about 50 or Go watchers stationed at his house ou the day of nomination ' and had the pleasure of seeing his windows smashed in by the crowd. The windoo • were those of the commercial room, wherein sot Mr. Aspinall and his friend., and during this occurrence voters were getting " glasses " in the diff.rent rooms. These "watcher." were sent by Mr. Starkey, and bivouacked in the stables and outyards, and Luxherry, Mr. Starkey's build, gave orders fur their supplies of forage, consisting of bread and cheese end ale. Mary Arnold, wife of John Arnold, a voter of Clitheroe, stated that Mr. Dewhurst introduced Mr. Aspinall to her on coming to solicit her husbend's vote, and Mr. Aspinall gave her his card, and Mr. Devrhurst told her to tell her husband to go on to the Calf's Head, at Worliston, a abort distance on, and get some supper. This was said in Mr. Aspivall's presence. 'I here were three other gentlemen with them, and they took her by surprise at the time, as she was r itgaged in " milking the cows." Arnold, the husband, on being called, corroborated this, and described the supper at the Call's Head. The supper eaters cheered for Aspinall lustily. Mr. Devrhuret was there, and asked him for his " vote and interest " fur As pinall. Mr. Hartley Baldwin and Mr. Southern, the land steward et Mr. Aspinall, ant many voters and non-voters from Clitheroe, were there. There was a "goodish " table, with good cheer, and all sitting round. When asked for his vote and interest, as the entertain ment was going on, he said "he would nut *make any promise until he had seen and beard both sides." Ile did not see Mr. Baldwin elder the liquor, or see anything paid for. The voters had brandy, and the non-electors heir. They were a very jolly party, and Mr. Baldwin said to him, " I'll set your name down." There were about '2O vutera from Clitheroe, and Mr. Aspinall left on horseback. He had had notice to quit his cow farm, but it had been with drawn since he voted for Aspinall. Ile did not get abso lutely drunk, but we sit away " staggering like." Oae of the peculiarities of this supper contested in what was culled " coupling," that was to say, pledging one another in glasses round; but the "coupling" had another stenificodiun attached to it, namely, that those who " coupled" would, it was under stood, vote for Aspinall ; and when it came to his turn, after beginning at the top of the table and going down wards, witness, wishing to be neutral, took up hie cap and cut. (Laughter.) The committee then, at two o'clock, adjourned to this day at ten. 'The witness committed to the custody of the Sergeant at-Arms, for prevarication, has not yet been released, but eapresees great penitence to the hon. chairman, who has paid him two or three benevolent visits. There is some talk of keeping him confined until the close of the inquiry, as a warning to other witnesses - , and tine, perhaps, be will not regret, as hie quarters, provided by the Sergeant-at- Arms, under the clock tower, are by no means uncomfort able, were it not for the reflection that he will have to pay that functionary's " fees." PETERBOROUGH ELECTION.—The members appointed ►y the general committee of tlecti , ..us to inquire into the in terference of Earl Fitz william in the elections fur the borough are—Mr. Stuart Wortley (chairman), Mr. Locke King. Mr. T. Greene, Mr. Ingham, Mr. Adderley, .Ir. H. T. Liddell, and Mr. Hutt. It is understood that parties will be permitted to appear by themselves, their counsel, or agents. CHATHAIt ELECTION.—Captain Vernon has forwarded a formal intimation to the Speaker that it is not his intention to defend his election or return. LONDONDERRY AND ENNIERILLEN.-0a Friday, this bill, No. 2, passed the Committee of the House of Lords. THE CASE OF PHILLIPS, THE CABMAN. TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPEEBS. SlR,—The veracity of my short report of the above ease, in Wednesday's papers, having been impeached in the most startling manner, through the medium of the Home Secretary, it becomes my unpleasant duty to address you upon the subject. Lord Palmerston, in givirg what purports to be the, re- Milt of his promised inquiry, distiretly stated that " the cab ana* declined the measurement of the distance—not assign bars' a reason the want of .51., but generally refusing that mode of settling the matter;" thus leasing the house to infer that my report of the cabman's plea of poverty, and of Mr. Henry's own words in deciding the case, was a complete invention. And for what purpose ? With what possible motive ? Wilfully to annoy or malign a gentle man from whom I have experienced the utmost courtesy and attention during all the years he has presided at Bow street—who has ten me access to every source of informa tion whenever I ave needed it, and whose public useful ness, as a magistrate, .1 feel I may add, without presump tion I have repeatedly enabled the public to appreciate as well myself. I am sure, sir, you will not think me capable of anything so base or foolish as this. Neither cur, I be, reasonably, charged with wishing to excite a false sympathy on behalf of cabmen, after my long Bow-street experience of the fra ternity, and after being engaged all the previous week, as I had been, in exposing their extortionate demands upon the public. I reported this cue, because I felt that Mr. Henry, in hie ardour to enforce obedience to the provisions of the new act, had made a grave mistake, and had not acted with kie usual discrimination. I was struck, as the complainant the - was, with the unjust punishment inflic , ed upon and when Mr. Henn declined to liaten to Mr. Bond's appeal for a reversal or postponement of the decision, I had se alternative but to send the facts for publication. And the cue had not been before the public many hours before a number of benevolent people (including several ladies) had called at the court in the hope of being permitteu to pay the man's fine and expenses. Now, sir, I am as confident as I am of my own existence that the following words were uttered by Mr. Henry, in giving his decision—" Then, as you cwanot pay the Is. de posit I shall take Mr. Bond's statement (of the distance) as evidence of the fact, end convict you of the overcharge, for which you must pay the penalty of 4fis., or go to prison for a mouth." _ I took down these words at the moment, and I gave therm as they were uttered—in the fi rst person — to prevent mis apprehension. No part of that report has ever been ques tioned by any one of the persor.s connected wish the court, or by saybody else who heard the cue. Mr. Henry sat upon the bench on the day when it appeared iu the newspapers, and did not breathe a word of disapproval. On Friday morning, when I saw that the malts r had been taken up in the house, I drew his attention to the subject. Mr. Henry said, " It is a pity you did not nuke it appear, in your report, that I decided the Cabe upon my own know ledge that the distance was under the three miles." Not a word about the man's alleged refusal to hove the ground measured was then hinted, and I waJ never more asto nished in my life than to find that this extraordinary suer:ion was eventually put forth in justification of the decision. I am, air, your obedient pervant. Itowtatreet, Saturday, July 23. THE REPORTER.
