POBTSIL__ _ The Duke of Wellington, 131 guns, screw etc= ship, Captain H. Martin, C. 8., having completed her fit oat, got up steam this morning in harbour to go out to Spithead. The importancz of tho event excited the utmost interest at this port, and caused thousands to assemble at every point of view on the sides of the harbour, to witness the progress of this meitnificrot ship to Sp.thead. High enter was at 'boat 10 skates to 12 o'clock, and some specu lation was miaowed in as to weather there would be a suf ficiency of water on the bar outside the harbour to enable her to cross it is safety , . The public were not generally admitted on board, but those having a reasonable ex cuse for being there were not excluded. Among others, the following were en board :—Tho Right Hon. Earl Spencer, Sir Thumu Byam Martin (Admiral of the Fleet), Vice-Admiral Bowler Rev - Admi ra l Fanshawe (Superin tendent of this Diiekyard), Rear-Admiral Faoshowe Martin, klajor•General Simpson, Lieutenant-Governor Major-General Panshowe, Captains Henderson, Harris, Pelham, Robert Sharpe Mr. Dinner, from Somerset House. Re., its. Several lilies were also on board. Ants 7. , At a quarter to twelve the ship was under weigh, but a hulk being is the way a little delay was thereby occasioned. and she was carried by the tide somewhat astern. She soon got herself into a suitable position by the care and pre sence of mind of Mr. Underwood, the Master-Attendant of this dockyard, aad Mr. Jones, the pilot on board. She then began to make head way, and was soon breasting the strong tide that was running iato harbour at the time. In passing the Victory, flag-ship, the band of the Duke strode up " God save the Queen," and another minute brought is view the crowds of people assembled on the Hard, Ports's, and other places, from which could be obtained a view. There must altogether have been some 10,010 ff 15,000 persons present on the shores of the har bour. The noble ship proceeded through the Channel with Black speed, but with perfect ease, against the tide, and as she neared the bar, which is situate between Hollings worth's Rooms and Suuthsea Castle, right across the hat bout agate!, deep interest, if not ansuety, began to be felt se to whether she would quite clear it. The speed of the ship was diminished, and the utmost attention was paid to the reports of the leadsmen on both sides of the vessel. Every throw of the lead produced a di minished depth of water, till at length their re ports showed that there was only a spate of le to 2 inches between the after part of the keel and the bar. The suspense as to what the nest throw of the lead would indicate was, at least on the part of the non-pro flesiosal persons present, greatly relieved by its showing en increase in place of a decrease of water, and in • few minutes an ample depth was obtained, and all danger was as en end. Full power was then put on when it became obvious that although the ship was much deeper in the' water than on her previous trial, she was nevertheless going at a very high speed. At her first trial she had no guns on board, to-day she had the whole of her main and middle deck guns on board, betides twenty-two of her lower deck guns; these latter were placed forward to bring her down by the head. The total number of guns on board was 97. She had also a large quantity of ship stores, provisions, Ike. on board to-day, beudes her crew of °Mears' and men, at present amounting to 840. These in clude 210 marines, 30 marine artillery, and 66 boys. Her full complement will be 1,100 men. As the vessel approached Spithead she saluted the flag of the Commander in -Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, with It guns, which the Victory retained with 7. The Duke of Wellington then made her way to the measured mile in Stoke's Bay to try her speed, and made two runs there, the results of which were as follow : lolrttreta,with I tide Ilesood nia, • spirt tido. i resel Is kr per beer. A.=• The pressure of steam was nominally 15 lbs., but in reality the engines could not bo worked beyond a pre,- sure of 131ba. to 101bc, owing to the boilers being too small. To-day the ship's draught of water was 21 feet 10 inches ; on her first trial it was 24 feet 3 inches. Tho difference between the averages of the runs made to day sad those made at her previsus going out showed a dif ference of about three-tenths of a knot in favour of the latter. The results of the above trial are obviously of the most satisfsetory character, and were regarded as such on board. After the two runs the ship was put through several evolutions, exercising her expansion par, turning round in a circle, backing astern, &c., all of which she performed with the utmost facility, and in a manner that excited the warmest admiration of all on board. The shake of the ves sel to-day was apparently much less than on the previous trials, owing no doubt to her being deeper in the water, and consequently steadier. At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Duke of Wellington came to an anchor at Bpithead, and her visi tors departed for the shore, but just as she was doing so, there was a cry raised of " A man overboard." It app eare d one of the crew had dropped from the aide of the vessel into the water, but without striking against anything. He was Eirked up unhurt.

Rayon vin Muria or TIM ROLLS. JINXING. r BROUGHTON. . . The hearing of this awe, which has occuried the court several ..a)5, was brought to a conclusion to-day. The b.ll was flint to compel the directors, who are the managing directors of the Craig • Mwyn Lead Mine in Wales, to repay the plaintiff the calls which he had paid in respect of 719 coerce in the mine and interest thereon, on the ground that he had been induced by false representations of the defendants to take the shares in question. It appeared that in June 18d0 defendants took a lease of the mine for 21 years, having been in possession of it ;under en agreement for saven years, and they projected a joint-stock company on the cost-book principle, the stock of which was to be 1,600 shares, at Si. a share. It was alleged that in Septeinte:r and October, 1510, various reports, and ulti mately a prospectus, appeared in the Muting Journal, I. y which the defendants invited the public to take shares. The caul made by the plaintiff was that, trusting to the glowing representations so published, as well as from state ments made to him by a Mr. Bell Williams, the agent of the defendants, he was induced to take the shares; that the statements and reports in question were false and ex aggerated, and particu!arly that, with reference to level Nu. 1, in which the lode was stated to be two feet it was, in I fact, only eleven inches; and that • statement that a parallel vein had Wen found was not true, inasmuch as it had been worked at all. Anoth, r principal misrepre sentation relied on was that level N 0.4, was stated to contain valuable ore, while, in fact, it was nothing more than an old worked out level, which hid been long since aban doned. On the other band it was contended, on the part of the defendants, that plaintiff, who is a barrister, and well acquainted with mining matters, bad every source of information open to him, and that he was fully qualified to form an accurate opinion as to the value of the mine; and a great body of evidence was adduced to show the bona • sof the defendants.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-YESTERDAY. Emma BANC . O.—BI7OLO LOID SAMPM.L, Ma. Rill= tat — oc;74 iii - 1;;rn - c - s PALI. AM; la. BE BOTCI.-HABLAS COSITE:-•P011111 or COUNTY COVET 'upon TO IMPEIBON. In this cue a rule nisi for the issuing of a writ of habeas aerpu was obtained list week. The facts of the case ase briefly as follows: Mr. Boyce was summoned be lie the Judge of the Brentford County Court upon a plaint mover 31. 13s. Judgment was gives for the plaintiff, Mil ea order made that Boce should pay the amount by erten instalments. He f l ailed in doing this, and, conse quently an order was made by the judge, committing him As prison for seven days. Some time after the ex piration of this term of imprisonment, the debt still remaining unpaid, another summons was issued against Boyce, and upon the hearing he was committed for MI days. This term having expired he had been, summonses laving been duly issued, twice again imprisoned for 40 ddaby order of the judge, and at the present time was in by virtue of the last commitment. The rule obtained was for a writ of habeas corpus to bring up the body of Boyce, in order that he might be discharged. Mr. Francis now moved to make the rule absolute. He relied upon the 103rd and 99th sections of the County Court Act. Under these sections, while it was expressly declared that imprisonment should not put an end to the liability et a defendant, it was clearly stated that the judge should only imprison, after the first time, where some new fraud or other default had taken place. The warrants for committal in this case recited no new default. The statutes ought to be construed strictly, for if the present committal were held good, then the County Court judges had virtually a power of perpetual imprisonment. Mr. Justice Coleridge observed that that was no more than the Commissioners of Bankruptcy poetised. Mr. Francis submitted that it could not be intended by the legislature to vest so important an authority in a court of inferior jurisdiction. Lord Campbell was of opinion that the defendant must be remanded. He saw nothing in the warrants inconsistent with the fact that, upon the issuing of the summons before eaca recommitment to prison, the judge investigated the mattes, and found that since the judgment was pronounced received _ the defendant Boyd had — moneys whereby he might have satisfied the debt, and that, nevertheless, he had neglected to do so. That being so, his lordship was of opinion that, under the 103rd section of the act, the County Court judge bad the power to issue a fresh warrant of im prisonment, for a term not exceeding 40 days, as it was a new default" in payment consequent upon a fresh proceeding before the County Court. Of course this court must assume that the judge below did his duty. The power was without doubt a formidable one, and it ought always to be used with discretion. It did seem at first sight rather a severe punishment that, for a d.h• of IA. a man should be imprisoned for 127 days; but their lord ship. must suppose, from what appeared in the warrants, that the circumstances justified the judge is the coarse which he had taken. Mr. Justice Coleridge was of the same opinion. If Mr. Francis's view were correct, then a man might, although he had the means of paying a demand, withhold payment, and after once beinf imprisoned, the creditor would „,have no mesas of enforcing his claim. Mr. Justice Erle and Mr. Justice Crompton concurred. Role refund. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YEsTERDAY. Hiram& TEs Carl? Coxxisicatint. IN RE E.

Sho was also instigated' to do so by the rresecutrix amusing her of seducing her husband. Sir Chapman blarstall said this was a most serious case, I for murder was ecty nearly being committed. The Intact to do grievous bodily harm waa perfectly clear, and ha would commit the planter for trial. This insolvent, who had lately returned from Australia, applied to be discharged from prison. Mr. Sargood sup ported. It appeared that the insolvent had been in business in London, and left some time ago. He had lately returned front Australia, and had been arrested for an old debt as about to leave the country. Mr. Sargood told the insolvent to explain how be came to be arrested. The insolvent said he came from Australia to take his wife back, Laying obtained nine menthe leave of absence, which would expire in September next. Some information was given to the party who had arrested him that he had returned to England with a great quantity of gold, but such was not the cue, and he only had 191. when he wee taken to prison. The Chief Commies' inner asked him whether he purposed returning to Australia ? The insolvent replied in the affirmative. It further appeared that the insolvent in 1851 went out as steward of a ship. He was questioned respecting some debts incurred in England before he left. In answer to • question he said he had nothing to give up. The Chief Commissioner, at the conclusion of his exami nation of the insolvent, said no one had come forward to ri l:: him, sad in his opinion he was entitled to be die- The insolvent was accordingly discharged.

Mr. Nichols made an application in this can, which had been several times before the court, for a rule to obtain a revesting order to a Mr. Cook, who had purchased the in solvent's surplus estate.

On the schedule the debts were only NZ., but on exami nation it was elicited that the debts exceeded 3001., arising principally on a mortgage. Him Honour held that he had no jurisdiction to entertain the cue. The insolvent was a trader, and as his debts ex cneded 3001, the petition must be dismissed. The petition was accordingly dismissed. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. WORSHIP-STREET. Wm. Chartrets. an artful looking urchin, about fourteen years of age, was charged with having stolen a gold watch and chain, of the value of ten guineas, from the person of a gentleman named Atherstone, residing at Cambridge-place, Islington. The prosecutor stated that he was passing through Shore ditch between twelve aed one o'clock on that day, when his progress was impeded by the prisoner and two or three other lads, who placed themselves obtrusively in front of him, and, pointing to a female who had just passed him with an infant in her arms, simultaneously exclaimed, in startled accents. " Look at that woman, she is carrying a dead child." On hearing the observation, witness instinc tively turned his head in the direction indicated, but had no sooner done so than he felt a sudden pressure against his chest, and immediately afterwards discovered that his watch and chain had been adroitly abstracted from his waistcoat pocket. At the same moment the prisoner darted across the road with one of his company, to whom witness distinctly saw him pass something, with which he rapidly turned down an adjoining street and effected his escape, but the prisoner was pursued and given into cus tody. In answer to a question from the magistrate, it was inti mated that the prisoner was not known to the pallor ; but it was stated by the officer who took him into custody that ho bad been loitering about with his associates in front of the Eastern Counties Itiilway for some hours previous to the robbery. The prisoner, who loudly protested his innocence, and confidently declared that the prosecutor had taken the wrong " man," was ordered to be remanded for a week. idARLEOROCOH-STREET. Thomas Prota and Willians Priest, two men having the appearance et journeymen carpenters, were brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with havirg wantonly damaged a lime tree in Hyde-park. Police-constable Cox said be saw the Prisoners about 4 o'clock that morning in company together. Front got upon the walk near the Bayswater.road, and with a saw which be had with him deliberately cut two large branches from one of the lime trees in Hyde-park. The prisoner was walking away with the largest branch on his shoulder, when witness followed and took him into custody. The other prisoner came up, and said that witness should not take his Mead into custody. Witness, however, obtained the assistance of another constable, and both prisoners were conveyed to the station-house. The defence of the prisoners was, they were not aware of there being any harm in what they did. The park constable said the 'Waage done amounted to two shillings. Mr. Hardwick said the conduct of the prisoners in wan tonly destroying trees in Hyde-park was without excuse. The park was for the general recreation of the public at large, and as they were kept up at a great expense, it was monstrous that any injury should be done to them by persons like the prisoners, who from their age and position in life ought to know better. Had the damage been placed at a higher amount he would have been empowered to treat the case as one of felony. As it was he should inflict the highest penalty allowed by law, by imposing a fine of N. on each of the prisoners, and two shillings damage, or one month imprisonment. Charles Cooper, a boy only 11 years of age, was charged with robbing his mother. The prosecutrix, a respectable looking widow woman, complained with tears in her eyes, that she was reluctantly compelled to bring her son before the magistrates. It was impossible to keep hint at home, or anything that could be disposed of. She had no snoner turned her back than he made away with every article he could lay his hands upon, and having disposed of every other portable thing, had ab solutely disposed of the saucepans in which she cooked food for her family. The accused, who heard his unhappy mother's statement without exhibiting the slightest concern, was remanded. An Irishwoman and her daughter, a !girl of about 14 or 15 years of age, were charged with begging. It wu clearly proved by a plain clothes constable that the woman sent her daughter after different persons to beg of them in the streets. The old woman in reply mid that her daughter was seri ously injured in the hand by a burn, and was moreover subject to fits. "It was not begging that she was, she was sure," for she was on her way to Fulham on private busi ness. Father Ferguson having kindly promised to " read over " her child. The magistrate inquired the object of the " reading" in question ? The old woman replied—" To core the fits," there haying been a little boy that she knew cured by the same specific. The magistrate wanted to know why the worthy father's " reading" would not be equally efficacious with respect to the burns u to the fits? The old woman gave no reply. Mr. Arnold considered the case, which had been clearly proved against the old woman, a very bad one, as she was clearly bringing up her daughter to street begging. The magistrate did not believe a word of the story Vathor Pawl..., moo CUZIIMI{4XI use mouser tor it days, but dis charged the daughter. Cornelius Murphy, aged 60, and Patrick Murphy. his sou, 28, of No. 1, Matilda-plc, North Eut-paeaage, Wellclese square, were charged with assaulting and wounding Daniel Macarthy, a labourer, of No. 3, Lady Lock-court, Rose mary-lane, Whitmehapel, and several others. The prosecutor Macarthy, an Irish Cockney, had been ' terribly cut and wounded. Hie clothes were saturated with blood, his face was much bruised, and his head, which was half covered with surgical bandages, had' been laid open, and there was a swelling upon it where he had been kicked as large as an egg. It appeared from the evidence of numerous witnesses that there had been some quarrelling and fighting among the Irish in the neighbourhood of Rosemary-lane, on Sun day night, and some of the police of the H division were maltreated. Mnearthy, a peaceable and industrious fellow, assisted the police in the execution of their duty, and the rioters were driven into their dwellings. The prisoners, who are two noisy, ill conducted fellows, did not forget Macarthy's interference in the MUM of law and order, and were determined to be revenged. On Monday night they went to &raffle at a public house in Rosemary-lane. Mac arthy was also there and subscribed his 6d. for the relief of a sick man, and went home in the early part of the evening. The prisoners remained at the house where the raffle was held until a late hour, when they sallied out determined on mischief. Cornelius Murphy a powerful old man was armed with a long and thick stick, which he concealed behind him as he was going down Rosemary-lane, and was heard to say be would serve Ma earthy out. They rushed into the court where Macarthy lives, and unfortunately for him he had just come down stairs, and seated himself at his own door, when the pri soner and others rushed upon him. Cornelius Murphy felled hint* the earth by a tremendous blow with his stick, and his son kicked and jumped upon the man, while others took up stones and bricks, and pelted him as hard as they were able, as if they werp determined to kill him outright. Maearthy's mother went to the assistance of her eon, and she was knocked down and kicked and trampled upon. A police-constable named White, 210 H, who had previously seen the prisoner in Rosemary-lane, hearing the streams and cries of the people, rushed into Lady Lock-court and found 7 or 8 Irish men either kicking or trampling on Macarthy and his mother, who were on the ground weltering in their blood. The Irish "scattered themselves away" on seeing the police-constable, who seised Cornelius Murphy and at tempted to take his stick from him, on which Patrick Murphy rescued his father, obtained possession of the stick, and knocked down the constable. A man named Donovan, who exhibited marks of ill usage, went to the assistance of White, and was severely beaten by hie countrymen, who all got away. blacea thy was found in an insensible condition, and bleeding profusely from the wounds on his head, and he woe removed to the London Hospital without delay, and his wounds were dressed there, but he would not remain theie although requested to do so by the house surgeon. A sharp knife stained with blood was picked up in the court where the affray occurred, and it was believed that the principal wound on his head was inflicted with the knife. The witneu described the assault on Macarthy by the Marphys to be of the most savage and unprovoked descrip tion. Cornelius Murphy struck him three times wits his stick, his sin kicked him on the head and body, and others flung heavy stones upon him. Mr. Yardley said this was not a case to be decided hastily or summarily, and there was something like a felonious wounding. He should adjourn the further investigation of the matter till Friday. Ann Mack was brought up, charged with cutting and wounding Mary Ann Hits with a raver, with intent to do her some grievous bodily harm. The prosecutriz said that about half-past 9 o'clock on Monday evening, she was at the corner of Ozford Arras passage, in Warwick-lane, when the prisoner came up and asked if she had anything to say to ker. Proseentriz replied that she had not, and the prisoner then said she (prosecutria) was wanted down the passage. She asked who wanted her, but the prisoner refused to tell her,upon which the prosteutrix declined to go. The prisoner immediately drew one hand front under her shawl, and threw a quantity of pepper at witness's eyes, and then with the other hand she produced an open razor, with which she endeavoured to cut proeccutrias throat. She, however, succeeded in parrying the blow with her hand, which got frightfully lacerated, and several of the fingers were cut nearly off, but notwithstanding, the razor wounded her slightly in the neck and on the breast, and cut the clothing that covered her shoulders. Proiecutriz bled very much, and she was taken to the hospital, where she had her wounds dressed. Ski had had no quarrel with the prisoner beyond having seen her in her own room on Sunday night, and told her to quit it Immediately. Thomas Bailey said he saw the prisoner and prosccutriz struggling together in the street, and observing an open razor in the prisoner's hand, and the prosezutriz bleeding, he interfered, and the prisoner allowed him to take the razor from her, and he afterwards gave it up to the officer at the station. Susan Marshall, the housekeeper at the Smithfield station, , said she searched the prisoner, and found oa her a door key and a razor case. The prisoner told her sho bought the razor in the morning for the elves, purpose of cutting the prosecutriz's throat, and that she purchased it in et. Paul's-churchyard. The prisoner, ia her defence, said that the proseentria followed ha about on Muggy 'ming, sad celled best DEATH OF A CENTENARIAN.—IAst week, died in the Oreenwich Union-hence, a man named Clark, at the age of 100 years and 7 months.

The con tinued movement of the operatives for higher wages, by increasing the cost of goods and threatening to curtail the production of them through turn-outs, tends to keep the rates in the market firmer than they otherwise would be. At Stockport the masters are said to have re solved upon refusing an advance, so that a turn-out is im minent. At Bolton the weavers have now followed the example of the spinners there, and have demanded 10 per cent. advance. One of the employers offered an immediate compromise of 5 per cent., but it could not be taken. At Gloseop the operatives have carried out their resolution of Saturday, and begun to work short time. For home trade yarns and cloths the market is firm, and a fair business is doing. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lzavo, JUNE 7.—There has again been a very flat and quiet market to-day. The busi ness dune in the Cloth-halls has been very limited. Medium white cloth seemed to be the principal goods in demand. WOOL.-111 June 7.—As Wools are now coming in pretty freely, and thus affording more choice, we have consequently more business doing, but manufacturers, from the scattiness of their orders, are not buying heavily. MANUFACTI;RES.-11vDoznanint.n, June 7.—We have no improvement to report in the demand for manu factured goods. From the fl 3t tone of the market generally, and the appearance of stocks, it is quite evident there is • falling off in the demand, but more particularly in fancy goods of the middle and lower qualities. CORN.—Hc4I., June 7.—We have now liberal arrival. sf Wheat, chiefly Dantzig and other white Wheats, which are met by a good demand, principally from consumers, tbnugh some portion has been taken by speculaton ; with red Wheat we aro only indifferently supplied, and for such we have a great demand. It is now seen that York shire and Lancashire, through the full employment of their manufketuring population, heat (as we ventured to predict) the long continued dulness and inertia of Mark lane, which to regain its "old fashioned influence" has had to advance pretty smartly during the past three weeks. To-day we had a fair supply of Wheat from our own growers, and for which there was a brisk sale at fully 2s. over the prices of last Tuesday, 50s. to 525. being the cur rent rates for our good runs of red Wheat. For Foreign there was an improved demand, and the sales made estab lished an advance of Is. to 21. per qr. upon the prices of last Tuesday. Barley is well cleared off the market by a goad consumptive demand at le. advance. Oats scarce, and in request at full rates. Beans are again fully Is. dearer, and Egyptians held at 365.; Hamburgh selling at 395. both 631bs. Peas very scarce indeed. There is more firm ness in the Linseed market than of late, and Cakes continue to advance : a parcel of flue Swedish have fetched 71. 12s. 6d. per ton. In Rapeseed nothing doing, and Cakes are only dull. Arrivals rather short of Bones, but the market is quiet. Imports from May 28 to June 3.—Wheat, 7011 qrs. ; Barley, 348; Oats, 275; Beans, 2547; Peas, 104; Linseed, 2880 ; Rapeseed, 362; Oil Cakes, 294 tow ; Bones, 1281; Guano, 320. • LIVIIIPOOL, June 7.—The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise during the put week have been lair of oats, but insignificant of other articles. From foreign ports we have received 9,381 quarters wheat, 4,730 quarters In dian corn, 1,145 sacks and 13,305 barrels flour. The ex ports in the same time comprise 829 quarters wheat, 7,484 quarters Indian corn, 857 barrels Indian mea1,731 sacks and 4,714 barrels flour. The trade has been brisk for wheat and flour during the past week, and a large business has been done for consumption and on speculation, at an advance of 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. on the former and Gd. to ls. per sack and barrel on the latter articles. In other articles, how ever, there hu been little doing, and no material improve ' ment in prices. Floating cargoes of wheat have been for the most part withdrawn from sale, and where sales have been made an advance of Is. to s. per quarter has been readily obtained. Indian corn afloat has been quite neg lected, and not any dearer. The weather continues ex tremely fine. At this day's market there was a fair at tendance of the town and country trade, sad several buyers from a distance, and a good demand was experienced for wheat and flour, chiefly for consumption, at an advance of 2d, to 3d. per 701bs. on the former and Is. per barrel on the latter article. French flour was held for Is. per sack more money, which, however, checked sales. Oats, with a fair sale, were firm at late rates, but oatmeal was neglected, and barely as dear. Barley and peal were held for extreme prices ; and beans, being extremely scarce, brought Is. per quarter more money. Indian corn, both afloat and on tin spot, was scarcely inquired for, and without any im provement in value. LLEDB. June 7.—The reported arrival of wheat is fair, but the Chow of fresh *umpire of red io einal to the demand, and all descriptions of such meet a ready sale at la. per qr. over Friday's rates ; fine whites fetch a similar advance. Barley as before. Beans scarce and fully as dear. Oats and other articles maintain their value. Arrivals this week: Wheat 6,914 qrs. ; Oats, 76; Barley, 106 ; Beans, 474 ; Malt, 63 ; Rapeseed, 635 ; Linseed, 283. LYNN, June 7.—Our supply of Wisest continues small, and today is 2s. per qr. dearer. Beans also Is. to 2s. per qr. in advance. Wheat, hot runs, 581bs. to 591 he., 40s. to 425.; inferior, 631bs. to 571b5., 371. to 395. Beans, 365. to 40e. per qr. to the growers. NIWCABTLE, June 7.—With the exception of a slight shower on Sunday, and again yesterday, the weather has been dry, the rain that has fallen being scarcely perceptible from the aridity of the soil. The temperature, however, has risen considerably, although it looks as if the wind were going to return to the old quarter, north-east. At our market this morning, we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and having nothing fresh in since Satur day, fresh thrashed samples were taken with avidity at a further improvement of Is. to 21. per qr. ; extra red making 555. to 565. ; and white up to 685. per qr., whilst a similar advance was made upon the limited quantity of foreign offereing, choice Uckermarke red commanding 651., and Silesian white 58s. per qr. weighed 631b5., the latter figure at the same time being refused for Dantzie. Flour must be written Is. per sack dearer, with a fair inquiry, a total elemance having been effected of the warehoused stocks, which may be deemed a very healthy symptom. Rye is wanted. Grinding Barley, Malt, Beans, and Peas without change ; but Oats attract more attention, and may be written a shade dearer, the dry weather being mach against spring corn. CANTLE.—SALISBURY, June 7.—At our market we bad a full attendance, and good beasts were in demand, there being a very short supply, consequently the business wu animated, and the best things were held at a trifling advance, and had there been double the number of Dilute on offer, ready purchasers would have been found. The supply of Sheep was more plentiful than for many weeks put, and at the commencement of business late quotatiens were pressed for, but there being evidently a drug on the market, some sales were effected at &slight decline its prices, but notwithstand ing several pens were driven away . unsold. Considering the time of year the transactions in Lambs were limited, although there was a plentiful supply, and with out altering the quotation, prices must be considered lower. In the Pig market there was a fair supply, and stores commanded considerab!e attention, and were sold late rates. We had also a considerable supply of fine Calves, which changed hands at about . former prices. A very li mited supply of dead Pies. The following are the present quotations:—Best ex Beef, 10s. to lls. per score; Heifers and middling breeds, 9s. to 10s. ; Down Mutton, out of the wool, 6id. to 7d. per lb.; long- woolled and inferior, 6d. to 61d. Lamb, 84. per lb. Veal, 6d. to 7d. Pork, fresh and salt, 7d. to Bd. per lb., and 9s. 6d. to 10s. per score.

MONUMENT TO SIR ISAAC NEWTON.—The town council of Grantham have granted a site on St. Peter's-hill fox the erection of a statue to the memory of this great phi. losopher, and 1001. for the preparation of tho ground for its reception, and have authorised Mr. Winter, the ex mayor, to lay the resolutions before the Royal Society, with the request that it will take such measures as its council may deem fit. It was stated at a special meeting of the town council that the present time was most appropriate for the object, as the inauguration of the statue could not take place until 18.31, whicn would be exactly 200 years after Sir Isaac Newton had entered a free boy on the foundation of the Grantham Grammar School. This will be the first national monument erected to the memory of Sir Isaac, the one at Westminster having been put u;s by his family, and that at Cambridge at the expense of an individual. Mr. Winter stated that Lord Rosse, the Duke of Rutland, Lord Brougham, sod Lord liarrowby had expressed their apprCo val of the proposal. ADMIRALTY AGENTS.—Lieutenants O'Brien and Darby, R.N., have been appointed Admiralty agents at the Southampton station in the room of Lieutenants Veitcb and Rainier, the former appointed Bret lieutenant to the St. George, at Plymouth, and the latter superseded at his awn request.

MACHINE FO3 TV-VNEI.LING THROUGH THE ALPS. I stated that I hoped to obtain information from the Chevalier Mans concerning his plan for forming a tunnel through the Alps. Having since been favoured b him with full particulars relating to his project, I now send you a statement of the manner in which he proposes to effect the great object he has in view. The excavating machine cuts the channels in the rock, by means of several aeries of chisels placed one beside the other, in straight lines ; these lines of cutting tools are so arranged as to be capable of a slight lateral motion in the direction of the grooves after every stroke ; the object of this is to bring the chisels to bear upon all the spaces lying between the several cutting tools situate in the same line, so as to pro duce not a succession of holes, but a continuous channel similar to a very wide saw-cut. This lateral I shifting of the lines of chisels, which takes place i alternately from right to left, and from left to right, is I I caused by a corresponding motion given to the frames in which they are fixed. Each chisel is driven against the rock by a spiral spring coiled round it, and which produces an effect similar to that caused by the muscles of a man is the act of throwing a javelin. This spring, driving the chisel forcibly against the rock, obliges it to act c flicaciously, not withstanding the slight inequalities at the bottom of the channel, arising from a want of uniformity in the resistance of the stone. When the machine is in operation, the several lines of chisels are all drawn back simultaneously, by mesas of a species of cam, or moveable bar, which sets against projections formed on the cutting instruments. The appa ratus is arranged so as to enable the chisels to strike 150 blows in a minute. The machine, at the same time, sets in motion a pump, which forces a constant supply of water into a reservoir, the upper part of which is filled with com pressed air. By this means the water is driven out in jets, through small pipes placed between the chisels, and is thus made to play upon the grooves, whete it performs the double office of preventing the cutting instruments from getting heated, and removing the dust and chips of broken stone, which would otherwise accumulate in the grooves, and thereby prevent the effective working of the ( :castor. Since writing the above, I have learned that Mr. Robert Stephenson, the eminent English engineer, when passing through Turin, on his way to Egypt, in the month o. Sep- tember, Ilkio, went to see the experimental machine, then in operation at Velduc, and M. Maus says he recals with much pleasure the approbation and encouragement given him by our distinguished 'ellow-countryman, who, in a letter addressed to the Sardinian Minister for Public Works, stated it as his opinion that it would be advisable for the government to make a trial of the excavating machine en an extensive scale. The exhausted state of the Piedmon ts's exchequer, consequent upon the war with Austria, and the expenses of the great works connected with the line of railway between Genoa and Turin, have hitherto precluded the possibility of putting the invention to the test of practice in the actual execution of the works proposed.--Corre spoiling of The Builder. titiliPlN INTRLLIfi Sch.

THE DIOCESE OF BATH AND WELL6.—A con* rpondence has been published between Ardideacon Denison and the Bishop of Bath and Wells, in which the former tenders the resignation of his office as examining chaplain pending a formal and public inquiry for the purpose of as certaining, " whether, in requiring the assent of the candi dates for holy orders to the doctrine of the Hely Commu nion to which Bishop Spencer has taken exception, I have required their assent to anything which is not the doctrine of the Church of England." His lordship, in reply, accepts the resignation thus tendered, but explicitly declines the liability of providing the costs which may be incident to the inquiry.
