THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 30, 1862. In the long list of sentences composing the telegram from America to-day, but one has even a favourable aspect towards the Federals—that which reports that the Federal army has retired ten miles towards Richmond. This is stated as a "report,' but since it agrees with some previous information from Richmond itself it is quite probable. What the object is can be only conjectured ; but in the Prima facie view of the case, we should suppose that the Confederates would keep APCLELLAN as far as pos s ibl e f rom Ri c h mon d. Since, however, their strongest post on the river is Fart Darling where the gunboats were repulsed, about eight miles from the city, it is by no means unlikely that they prefer a line of defence flanked by their own fort, and where M.`CLELLAN will be unable to com mand the services of gunboats pitching shells over his own regiments amongst th ose o f t h e Confe derates. Th e other item favourable to the Federals in the telegram of the 19 th, seem s to be contradicted by t hat of the 21st from Cape R ace. The confusion of Gordonsville an d Gordonsburg, is probably due to the telegraph, and the latter communication con tradicts the former, leaving the Confederates still in possession of the important Railway junction of the three Railroads, which General POPE was said to have destroyed, in order to cut off Confederate supplies. On the other other hand the South is, though in small engagements, successful everywhere. In the West, Vicksburg not only holds out, but, in a small way the Confederates there are repeating the exploits of the Merrim c, a Confederate Ram having come from some quarter, made a dash at the Fede ral fleet inflicted considerable damage, and then anchored safely under the cannon of Vicksburg. See—Lord PALMERSTON will exclaim as he reads it—see in this little instance the great value of my fortifications; from under their shelter the iron ship issues forth to damage or destroy even the stronger enemy. Across the Mississippi the Con federates in Arkansas are evidently pressing Gene ral CURTIS very hard, the best reported of him being that he has got safely away ; while we find the Confederate General PRICE crossing the 'Mis sissippi into Arkansas, to co-operate with his piurty there. The Northern report, however, adds that the Federals h ave been successful in several sm all engagements, while again the Confederate General issues his 131.°e4 nlation to the people of Arkansas not to let CURTIS eseape rWarm work evidently there, almost outside the world, in Arkansas. _ _ But in the better known Border Stat es the Fede ral quarters are everywhere beaten up by t i, e con. aREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. lA ALTERATIONS of TRAINS, AUGUST, 1862.

HIGH 1 , ATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. THIS DAY.—Morning, 4h. Im.—Afternoon, 4h. 20m, To-MORROW. -horning, 4b. 37m.—Afternoon, 4h. 56m, = .9 0 . 1:7,, i 4 'A - • =~ '~coi• THE SUN, LONDO-iii, federates. In the very centre and north of Ken tucky, , the Confederates are alive and harrassing, putting them in fear for the capital of the State itself. Kentucky is one of the most important of the Slave States, and has been anxious to play a double game. Its slave population is comparatively small, and it wished to abide by the Union, yet not to quarrel with the Confederates. The Federals in such a State easily acquired the upper hand, and pressed on successfully in the spring, even to Tennessee It would almost seem as if all these spring conquests were about to slip from Federal hands—it is certain that the Con federates are reported to be making captures there in a way which quite alarms the Federals, and will give them warm military work during the warm weather. They appear to have commenced to carry Out JEFFERSON DAVIS'S threat, for we actually find them coming into Indiana, and seizing on a place there of the name of Newbourg. It is true there is a little of the Parthian character in their attacks. Those who captured Murfreesborough in Tennesse, and made two regiments prisoners there, instead of advancing to the frightened capital, Nashville, fell back with their prisoners and booty to their old station of Chatanooga. In Western Virginia, STONE. WALL JACKSON is described as aiming again at Harper's Ferry, the truth is that he is more likely to go anywhere than where report has anticipated him. Mr. LINCOLN thinks POPE the best man to match him ; but though POPE was active in the West under HALLECK, we imagine he is no match for JACKSON. The political news from Washington is hardly more favourable to the Federals than the military news. HALLECR is expected from the west to take the command of the Federal armies, POPE and M'CLELLAN retaining each their r espective posi tions in eastern and western Virginia. But, if a speech in the Senate is to be trusted, the conse quences of M'CLELLAN's mismanagement surpasses anything with which we were too sadly familiar in the Crimea. Mr. CHANDLER affirms that 158,000 men altogether had been sent him. If this be true, he must indeed, as the speaker added, have lost his men by tens of thousands in the swamps before Rich mond. If these charges be facts they quite account for what follows—the difficulty of obtain ing recruits. Bounties of £lO, and of £5 down and a month's pay in advance, do not seem to render army work palatable, when every place has the record of its sick, killed, or wounded before it. Congress, however, has not been idle. It has just terminated its session, but if it could not vote victory it could vote money, when paper can make it. It has done so Re are told to the extent of appropriating £160,000,000; of this £112,000,000 have been for the army, and £20,000,000 for the navy. It has also compelled the President to sign its confiscation of rebels property bill; it would not accept his proposed modifications, and only conceded that it should not apply to previous acts of rebels. Mr. LINCOLN and his Cabinet are now left in sole command. The Parliamentary changes that have taken place between the present time and the close of the last session, are many of them sufficiently remark- able to be worthy of note here before the now rapidly approaching date of the prorogation. Parliament met this year, it may be remembered, on Thursday, the 6th of February. It will be dis missed from its labours, according to an arrange ment that it is hardly probable will be modified, within less than a week—viz., on Tuesday next, the sth of August. The duration of the session, therefore, is in every way according to rule. That rale setting apart, upon the average, as nearly as possible, one-half of each year to the varying toils of the Legislature. So that—as it happens—the session of 1862 is, really and truly, as nearly the exact six months as could be; in fact, within a single day of it. As maLy as Eleven changes had taken place, however, it should be observed at the very outset of our remarks upon the fluctuations of men and parties, between prorogation and proroga tion—as many as Eleven changes had already taken during the last thirty years, of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Three of the I old seats, so long left unoccupied in consequence of bvgone bribery and corruption, have, moreover, during the present session been filled up once more —one cf them by the election of Sir JOHN HAY, as member for the borough of Wakefield; the re the return of the Hon. C. BEE. maining two by XELEY and Mr. J. POWELL, the barrister, as col leagues in the representation of the city of Glou cester. Five seats are transferred from old to new members, in consequence of the former having I resigned,. Among these resignations the Liberal party must still look back with regret to one, namely, to the withdrawal into private life of Mr. W. J. Fox, late M.P. for Oldham, and in his time one of the most gifted orators of the Anti-Corn Law League. A single vacancy only, out of the Sixteen, is attri butable to tne advancement of the late member from the Commons to the Lords upon the demise of his patrician father—this solitary instance being that of the late M.P. for Great Grimsby, Lord WORSLEY, now the Earl of YARBOROUGH. Imme diately upon his lordship's removal to the House of Peers in succession to his progenitor, then recently deceased, it can hardly yet be forgotten how Mr. ) e. d a s t h e r Lincoln e. placelNl.P(.sfso r h e L i v n a c i o n n y , h d o r O p p e d p HENEAGE, h th is en p t o r e a s s e s n u t m a t e i v of the Great Grimsby constituency. The rival candidate (Mr. CHAPMAN) being, however, elected by preference by the undiscerning Great Grimsbians ! Aud Mr. BRADLEY MooRE having, in the meantime, slipped in quietly to the vacated seat at Lincoln. So that poor Mr. HENEAGE was left as completely in the lurch by his attempt at "a rise" as the present Lord Mayor was last ses sion, when he threw up his constituency to court the favour of the City of London. Mr. CUBITT being consoled, however, for his Parlia mentary disappointment by his re•election not long afterwards to that civic chair which he has filled so admirably well since the date of his first installa tion in it. A similar disappointment to that which befel Mr. HENEAGE, befel also Col. LUKE WHITE (late M.P. for the county of Longford), upon his nomination by the Premier as one of the Lords of the Treasury., After as sharp a contest in its way as any that has been witnessed in Ireland for years past, Major O'REILLY was preferred to Col. WHITE by that excited constituency though Major O'REILLY was no more than the gallant leader of a miserably discomfitted Brigade of Irishmen lately in the service of the Pope, and certainly, to say the least of it all, not of very much use to his HOLINESS—whiIe Colonel WHITE had been until so very recently M.P. for the county of Longford, and actually was then one of the Lords of her MAJESTY'S Treasury! As things fell out, however, as affairs happily chanced for Colonel LUKE WHITE, or —may we venture to say it P—as they were comfortably arranged for him by the powers that be—Colonel WHITE'S name having more favourably and cer tainly very appropriately on the Lapis down at Kid derminster. Mr. BRISTOW, then M.P. for that borough, not unwillingly resigned it to accept the remunerative office of Solicitor to the Admiralty— whereupon the rejected of Longford became the , accepted of Kidderminster. Enough now if we add to the foregoing analysis of these seven-and twenty Parliamentary Changes that have actually occurred since the close of the last session of Parlia , ment, that Captain BUNBURY has but very recently resigned his seat as member for the county of Car low, and that though the writ has been since then duly issued, his successor has not yet been returned. place among the members of the House of Com mons during the lapse of last recess, before Parlia ment assembled on the 6th of February. One of the Eleven new members elected within the interval of that recess, owed his seat to the promotion of its last occupant (Mr. MELLOR) to the judicial bench. Another (Mr. MORRISON) to the advancement of itB last occupant (Viscount VALLETORT) to the Upper House in succession to his father as Earl of MouNT EDGECUMBE. Two others among the Eleven new me mbers elected during the recess were It will not be denied that Earl GREY did well in calling attention to our change of policy in China. Quite apart from all the political squabbles and irritations connected with Chinese wars, we are i❑ constant danger there of serious leaks in our finance. It is but too well verified that the indiscretion of a public servant at that vast distance, may, especi ally by incurring a repulse in some unwise attempt, land us in a war, and a costly one, too, without our knowledge. We very much question whether the profits on our trade with China have paid the expenses of our wars there, even including the so called indemnities paid by the Chinese. And of these profits how small a portion have reached the great body of taxpayers. A contemporary observes that the only thing now requisite to bring on a Chinese war is an attack on Shanghae by the Tae pings. A defeat we should never brook; and although we have unquestionably provoked the attack, yet we should forthwith send an army, from India probably, and a fiEet, to annihilate the Tae pings. doubly noticeable in their way for, inasmuch, as they were new members who had been chosen by new ly oreated constituencies. These were Mr. LAIRD, elected for Birkenhead, and Mr. TURNER for South Lancashire. The remaining Seven (making up with the preceding Four the total number of Eleven already mentioned), owed the opportunity of their election in each instance to the demise of the previous representative. As member for Lincoln, Major SIBTHORP disappeared from the public scene not very long after his well known father the eccentric Colonel—Major SIB THORP being succeeded in his turn by the present member, Mr. SEELEY. Two only of the other half dozen deaths need be here particularised, the other Four deceased members being in no way remark able. Those Two here alluded to we would, how ever, especially mention, as they relate to the disappearance from the House of Commons of public characters, wbo, each after his own fashion, was essentially a Representative Man. One of them, in fact, was no less a person than the Right Hon. Sir JAMES GRAHAM—so long the First Lieu tenant, or in ether words, the Fidus Achates of the late Sir ROBERT PEEL-Sir JAMES leaving behind him the reputation of one of the most skilled de- We have, as Lord GREY observed, made a great change in our policy. It may be a right one, but it is so momentous—since it is so likely, compared with the prior one, to embark us in costly undertak ings—that the country is entitled to understand it, and express its opinion on it. Up to last March we had enjoined on our authorities in China tht strictest neutrality between the Chinese bellige rents. Singe that time the orders have been to de end the treaty ports, and Shanghai especially• Orders which our military and naval authorities, in association with those of France, considered to require our driving the Taepings from a semi circle of thirty miles distance around these ports. It was this determination which necessitated the capture of places from which the allied forces have have had to fall back. Transferring the policy to a civilised country, it would be the same thing as our holding ports for trade in the Northern States of America ,while the Con federates were overrunning adjacent parts, and aiding the Federals to repel the Confederates should they approach. This would surely be pretty effective intervention, how ever disguised under the plea of protecting our trade at the ports. As China is but a semi-civilised country, we bitters, and beyond all doubt of it one of the ablest may deal with her according to an international administrators, of the age.

When members appear before constituents to render an account, let electors bear this un-English private concerted bill in mind. How was it contrived to pass it so very quietly through the Lords (first).

The hospital transport Amazon con t a i ne d only 12 pat i ents suffer ing from yellow fever. Unfortunately, M. Rideau, the principal medical officer, and Surgeon Gaymard, were dead, having fallen victims to their devotion. The aviso Marceau had captured a Mexican cor vette. Despatches from General Lorencez, to the 24th ult., from Orizaba, give detailed accounts of the fight of the 13th and 14th. Great heroism was displayed by two companies of the 90th of the Line, who beat and dispersed the corps of General Ortega, inflicting upon him a loss of 250 men, and taking three mountain howitzers, a flag, three guns, and 200 prisoners. The result of the combat was the withdrawal of the Mexican army from before Orizaba. The health of the force was excellent. The Moniteur also contains a notice of the bravery displayed by the French troops in China. FRANCE.

"Il Barbiere di Siviglia" was substituted; and as Mdlle. Patti sung, and sang deliciously, the music of " Rosina," and the visitors had the opportunity, on this occasion, of hearing and seeing Mario as 11 Conte Almaviva, in Rossini's capo d'opera buffs., the loss was, musically, nil. I 1 Barbiere was capitally played and sung by Della Sedie. Patti was enthusiastically applauded at every point for the soprano, and.Ciampi as 11 Dottore, proved himself the best represents tivi, of the bamboozled Bartolo that the stage has seen since Lablache, STRAND THEATRE. A new farce has been produced here with unqualified suttees. It is entitled "Marriage at any Price," and is written by Mr. J. P. Wooler, whose many excellent pieces have secured for him a wide and deserved popularity. The story, which of course ends happily, is wrought out with abundant elaboration of comic derail; provoking hearty roars of laughter. Nor does the merit of the piece consist solely in its profusion of practical fun ; each of the different personages has a strongly marked indivbluality, and much of the dialogue is exceedingly amusing. The acting was throughout excellent. Miss Marie Wilton was the sauciest and most rattling of tigers. Miss Ma Swanborough makes marked progress, and is rapidly winning her way in the favour of the audience; and Mr. J. W. Ray was, as he ever is, artistic and effective. ST. JAMES S THEATRE. The classical extravaganza of "Endymion ; or, the Naughty Boy who cried for the Moon," has - been revived. The cast is, of course, considerably altered, although Miss Herbert still makes a very beautiful Diana, and a resplen• dent Luna. Mr. Charles, too, maintains his old part of Actaeon, which he acts and dances capitally Mr. Garstin Belmour is also a very humorous Pan, and Mr. Dewar and Mr. Ashley does all tha can be done for the Doctor, who utters the basest commonplaces, and Alpheus wbo is always shouting after his Arethusa (Miss E. Romer). The new performers are Miss St. Casse as Cupid, and Miss Rosina Ranoe as Endymion ; who both sung as well as played their parts with great effect. The entire getting up is very pleasing, and all the ballet business admirably managed. The revival was received with enthusiasm by a crowded house. THE REPRESENTATION OF TRALEE.—The _Kerry Post contains a rumour current in Tralee, to the effect that Mr. Daniel O'Connell, the member for that borough, has been appointed Queen's messenger, and that the Attorney- General for Ireland, Mr. O'Hagan, is a candidate for the representation. THE CARLOW ELECTION. —We understand the election of a representative for the county of Carlow will take place on the 7.h of August.

The venerable lady died on Monday at Hatchfcrd-park, in surrey, the seat of her daughter, the Countess Dowager of Ellesmere. She was the eldest daughter of Wm. Henry Cavendish, third Duke of Portland, and was, consequently, aunt of the present Duke, Lord Henry Bentinck, Lady Howard de Walden, and Lady Charlotte Denison. She was born October, 1775, so that she had nearly attained her 87th year. Her ladyship married March 31, 1793, Mr. charles Greville, youngest son of Mr. Fulke Greville, a collateral member of the noble house of Warwick, by whom, who died in August, 1832, she leaves three sons and a daughter, namely, Mr. Charles Greville, late clerk of the Privy Council ; Mr. Algernon Greville, Bath King at Arms, and formerly private secretary to the great Duke of Wellington ; and Mr. Henry Greville, a Gentleman Usher to the Queen; and the Countess Dowager of Ellesmere. HUN GERFORD SUSPENSION BRlDGE.—Opera tions have at last; been commenced for the removal of this light and graceful bridge, which has been the admiration of visitors to the metropolis for the last few years.

POST-OFFICE GRIEVANCES.—A general meeting of the employes of the Post -office was held last evening at the British School-room, Cowper-street, City-road, for the purpose of considering the present position of the question affecting their grievances consquent upon the discussion in the House of Commons on the 22d inst. Mr. Padfield was called to the chair, and several ;peakers having addressed the meeting, resolutions were adopted to the effect that every exertion should be used to bring the grievances complained of more fully and effectually befogs the house in the ensuing session ; and that in consequence of a proposed mediation by a committee of gentlemen betwees the Post-office employes and the Lerds of the Treasury, i; should be left to the dis cretion of the committee to act upm. it if they think fit, but that they are now open, as they always had been, to any honourable settlement of their griivances. A vote of thanks was passed by acclamation to Sir George Bowyer, Mr. Cox, and Sir S. Northcote, for their advocacy of the letter- 1 carriers' cause in the House of CH:among. COPYRIGHT IN A DANCE —.The Civil Tribunal of the Seine was called upon last wok to give judgment in a suit respecting the artistic properly of a new pas de dame. The plaintiff was M. Perrot, th 3 author of " Gazelda," a ballet performed some time sine with great success at St. Petersburg, and the defeaaant M. Petipa, of the Grand Opera of Paris. It alpeared from the state ment of counsel that in the above-tumid ballet M. Perrot had introduced a new date called the " Costnopo litana," which became a great avourite in Russia. On his return to Paris last year, M.Perrot was requested to allow his dance to be performed it the Opera, but he de clined the proposals made. No long after, however, he learned that his " Cosmopolitan," had been introduced into a ballet brought out by M. Jetipa, and received with great applause at the Opera. On laving ascertained beyond all doubt that the dance in questini was really his own, he commenced proceedinps for the defence of his copywright, and demanded 10,000 f. damages. For the defence it was argued that the dance was not a new one, being a mere com bination of eeveral national dances, which every artist had a right to adapt and modify as hi pleased. Tne tribunal, however, decided that, althougl the different national dances were public property, anycombination of them be longed to its author, and gave him an exclusive right to its use, that M. Perrot's work lad been introduced into Petipa's ballet without the autt a es consent, and that he therefore had a just claim for lamages. Petipa was, in consequence, ordered to pay Perrot 300 f, damages, with costs of suit. TEE TELEGRAPR IN FRA N CE.—It may be re membered that a reduced and unform tariff for telegraphic despatches in the interior of Fran c e came into operation on the let of January last. Duringthe three months follow ing that date 124,797 messages re,re than in the same period of 1861 were sent, bein an incr e ase of 'BO per cent. ; the additional receipts for that periot in 1862 was 47,401 if., or 8 per cent. over the correspondi tg period of the previous year. The increase in internatiaml communicate n for the same months was 10,206' despatches, producing 27,669 t. As no alteration in the tariff fo• foreign despatches to , k place, that augmentation must b e attribu ed to the con= tie ued development of the relations of France with foreign nations. Americans in Paris (of lhe Confederate party) who profess to have an inkling of official iniormation from Richmond, say that Beauregard't latest plan was to feign an attack upon Washington, in order to draw M'Clellan away from the basis of his operations, and then by a r a p id countermarch to get possession of the bulk of his stores of ammunition. food and These gentlemen are now so confi dent of success that they would rattler not have any Euro • pean mediation, feeling sure that they shall soon be able without assistance to establish their claim to European re. cognitien, THE VENEZUELAN LOAN. The new Venezuelan loan of X 1,000,000 is to be introduced by Messrs. Baring to-morrow, It will Consist of a 6 per cent. stock at 63, with dividend from the Ist of May, and an annual and accumula tive sinking fund of 2 per cent., calculated to re deem the debt in a per-od of less than 20 years. The interest and sinking fund, requiring £BO,OOO, are to be specially secured by the hypothecation of 55 per cent. of the Customs receipts of the ports of La Guayra and Puerto Cabello, which are relied upon to produce a minimum sum of £164,000 per annum, and Mr. Orme, the British Charge d'Affaires, is by permission of Lord Russell to act as receiver of these dues, in conjunction with Mr. Mocatta, as agent of Messrs. Baring_ The balance of the duties not required for the new loan is to be appropriated to the old debt, which carries 2 per cent. interest for the next three years, and thus requires an annual sum of only £70,000. After 1865 the in terest is to be raised to 3 per cent. The arrears of dividend on the old debt are £6 on each £lOO bond, and these, making an aggregate of £214,000, are to be capitalised in a 6 per cent. stock, requiring £12,840 per annum. The estimated amount of the hypothecated Customs dues will therefore just clear all present charges, and their gradual increase with the progress of the country may, it is hoped, in 1865 yield the additional £35,000 that will then be required when the interest on the old bonds is raised to 3 per cent. For the dividend due on the latter for the half-year ended on the let inst., at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, £1 is to be paid in cash. With regard to the prospects of Vene zuela, the following note, addressed by Lord Russell to Mr. Orme, at Caraccas, has just been prints d "Foreign-office, London, Feb. 4, 1862. " Sir,—Her Majesty's Government has learnt with plea sure from your last d. spatches that, under the existing Government of Venezuela, Ihe situa , ion of the country has very considerably improved, and appreciates in the fullest extent the efforts which, amid grave fiscal embarrassments, the Government of Venezuela is making to meet the claims of foreign subjects against the Republic. " The natural r. sources of Venezuela, and especially the Capacity of its soil for the pr( duction of cotton, may be the means of developing commerce between Great Britain and that republic with great advantage for both. " Protection to life and property is, before all things, what is wanted in Vene,uela, as in all other parts of South Ameriva. Without that, the country can neither prosper nor can foreigners be expected to employ their capital in commerce or agriculture, nor that immigrants should pro vide the necessary labour for the development of the culti vation of cotton. " You are authorised to communicate these ideas to the Government of Venezuela.—l am, &c., " RUSSELL. " To Mr. F. D Orme, C. 8." THE MURDER OF MR. FITZGERALD. THE TRIAL OF WALSH. LIMERICK, Monday Night. Shortly before the court rose, James Walsh was placed at the bar, when Mr. Justice Keegh said he had received a letter written on behalf the prisoner, and he desired to know if tTle prisoner wished to have counsel and attorney assigned to him. The prisoner said he would w i s h t o h ave Mr. Blackall assigned to him as attorney. Mr. Blackall observed that he would rather de cline to act in the case. Three other professional gentlemen were then named by the prisoner, but they each declined to act. Mr. Blaekall said, under the circumstances, he would undertake the defence rather than allow the prisoner to remain undefended. - After a consultation an application was made . , t o have Mr. J. C. Coffey assigned to the prisr,ner as counsel. Mr. Justice Keogh said he would assign Mr. Coffey, and as he had power t o assign a second sounsel, he would, in the morning assign another member of the bar as counsel for the defence, if th e i prisoner desired t. The prisoner was then r emove d . As yet no bills have been found against the Delanes. LIMERICK, Tuesday. On the application of the Crown, the trial of Walsh has been fixed for to-morrow morning. The grand jury to-day found true bills against the two Delanes for being accessories to the murder of Mr. Fitzgerald. MARKETS-THIS DAY. MARK LANE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with English wheat, for which the demand ruled very inactive, at barely Monday's currency. There was a fair show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. For all descriptions the trade was in a sluggish state, and the quotations were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at late rates. The trade for barley was toleraLly firm, and prices ex hibit very little change from Monday, pr In malt, a f a i r average businebs was transacted, at full prices. Oats, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off freely, at an advance of Gd per quarter. Beans and peas fully suppot ted. Monday's currency.

JOURNEYMEN BAF,LERS. Mr. Tremenheere was instructed last year, by the Home Secretary, to investigate the nature of the complaints made by the journeymen bakers of the metropolis concerning the circumstances adverse to health under which. their labour is carried on, and to report whether their grievances might be re moved or mitigated by legislation ; and he has now made his report. That there is ground for the com plaints is well known. The bread of London is generally made in what is in most houses the kitchen and the coalhole ; the temperature ranges from 75 deg. to 90 deg. ; here the journeyman baker has to work nearly all night, and many hours of day- work in the shop or abroad. In a large proportion ot the bakehouses the ventilation is very defective, and many are in an extremely dirty state. Some are infested with vermin. The space between the rafters will often be found almost covered with masses of cobwebs weighed down with accumula tions of flour dust, and frequently falling into the dough. 'these places are often se close to the drains that they smell very badly. The bread must during the process of fermentation get impregnated with the noxious gates surrounding it. The public have a right to insist that their bread shall not be made in such filthy places, and that means be taken to put a stop to the injury that must be caused to the health of the men. Night-work in such a tem perature is especially unsuitable for young persons, and Mr. Tremenheere recommends that no youth under 18 years of age be allowed by law to be em ployed in a bakehouse later than 9 p.m. or earlier than 5 a.m. This would be little more than extend ing to them the protection which magistrates would give them if they were apprenticed and required to work both in the night and a considerable part of the day. It is further proposed that the Legis lature should give the sanitary inspector some power over the condition of the premises in regard to ventilation and cleanliness, and that the Act for preventing the adulteration of articlesQf food should be made more effectual. The use of alum prevails very extensively in the lower branches of the trade, and is highly injurious; and flour is made less nutritious by an admixture ot barley-meal, rice, and Indian corn. The prevention of these adulterations would put an end to the trade of those undersellers who now live by defrauding the public and by get ting 18 hours' work out of their men. These mea sures would do much, and it may be much also will be done by the introduction of machinery. Even under the most favourable conditions the process of bread-making is such that no one would wish to witness it a second time. •' Even on a cold day in November," says Mr. Tremenheere, •' in a large and cool bakehouse on the level in an open yard, I saw the perspiration dropping from the face of the men into the dough ; what must it be in warm weather in the small, ciose, hot bakehouses under ground? There is probably no art which in a civilised coun try has remained so long in a primitive state as that of bread-making. Machinery is now being intro duced for mixing the dough without manipulation ; and in Dr. R.uglish's process for making unfer mented bread the whole of the work is done by machinery, without the hands coming into contact with the bread at all. The whole process is per formed in a quarter of the time at present required ; there is no flour dust for the men to inhale; the bread is more nutritious, and the saving by preven tion of waste is most enormous. The time may come when this handicraft may be turned into a manufacture. VARIETIES. (From Fun.) YANKEE NOTIONS. NEW WORDS TO AN OLD AIR.

Sugar, —A sweet business was transacted in this market to-day, Nobody was done brown; but, candidly speaking, sales were effected by 'he lump. There were no loafers about. Coffee.—There were no grounds for complaint in this department, for there seems to have been an advance of Is. per cwt., and 4,000 bags got the sack; Miller, Grinde, and Co., being the principal buyers. Rice.—At the early part of the day a great deal of deri sive chaff was blown about among buyers, which rather went against the grain; towards the close of the market rice gradually rose and remained firm. Tallow.—The imports from Greece and Wicklow were considerable; the demand, however, was quiet, scarcely realising prices of last, candlemas. The market snuffed out at 47-9 to 48 on tte spot.

I LAW-THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. , 'onamissioner Holroyd ) THE PATENT PIPE COMPANY. An adjourrild motion stood on the paper for to-day for the purpose of windin2; up the affairs of this company, but was further adj urned sub silent o, it being understood .hat an arrangement w• a likely to be effecte 1. IN RE DESBOROUGH. This bankrupt was described as of Lower Staunton, Bedfordshire, farmer, &c., and this was a m eeting for last examination. Mr. Doria opposed on behalf of the assignee, on the gr and that the accounts were totally insufficient and un tz ue. The bankrupt's first account was that his estate would pay 20s. in the pound, and leave a large surplus. The statement, however, w.ts perfectly fabulous, and there were great inconsistencies between the statement of ac counts—there were only 22 or 23 creditors, but in the balance-sheet 11 or 12 creditors appeared and proved, whose names did net appear in either, and others proved for amounts differing with those set down in the balance-sheet. The bankrupt's statement was therefore fabulous. The principal creditor was a Mr. Atkinson, who claimed £2,000 for money lent to the bankrupt, part of which was to pay a composition of 15s. in the pound to his (bankrupt's) creditors. The bankrupt's solicitor said the assignee was the bank rupt's brother• in-law. Mr. Doria said that Mr. Atkinson had two daughters one of whom married the assignee and the other the bank rupt. The solicitor said that the bankrupt had been prosecuted by his father-in. -law. The omissions were only of trifling amount. His Honour— Mr. Doria is for the assignee and a large creditor. You are for the bankrupt, but the case is not in a stage to form any opinion on it, Further accounts must be filed. Mr. Doria said that so far from the omissions being for small amounts, one creditor for £l5B was omitted. Adjourned. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) BILL DIS COUNTINO-GUTUCILY V. TUCKER. Mr. Buchanan applied that an order of commitment ordered on a previous day should be rescinded, and the case heard. He said that the defendant was in court only a few minutes before the cause was called on, and only left to run across the street to him (Mr. Buchanan), but in the inter val a commitment for ten days was ordered. He hoped she Court would grant the application, for the merits of the case were much in favour of the defendant. The plaktiff's solicitor objected, a , the action was on a judgment on a bill of exchange, but his Honour considered the application and the card was gone into. It appeared that, last year the defendant was in an hospital, where he was laid up for eight months, whilst proceedings were taken in this Court, but an arrangement was come to, and Mr. Buchanan said that 118 had been paid for overholdit.g bil of Xl2, and, iu tact, the bankrupt had received more than doubli, the amount of the bill, but the payments not being kept up, plaintiff brought an action in one of the: superior courts, and obtained judgment, on which a judg ment summons was taken in this court. His Honour--What is the plaintiff? Mr. Buchanan—He is a bill discounter. Defendant—And he has an extensive milk business in a very populous and fashionable district. His Honour—Did he not formerly live in Cavendish square ? Mr. Buchanan—l can't say, but the " cream" of his business is in the City. His Honour rescinded the commitment, and ordered payment of the debt at 10s. per month. POLICE-THIS DAY. BO W-STREET. VIOLENT ASSAULT.--Joseph Bristow, Frederick Howe, George Gardiner, and James Barrow, the first-mentioned person being in the service of Neville's Bread Manufactory, were placed at the bar, charged with assaulting Inspector West and Sergeant Holmes, of the F division of police. It appeared that the complaie ants were on duty in plain clothes, shortly before 10 o'clock last night, in the Strand, when their attention was drawn to I the four de fendants, who ap eared to be intoxicated, and were " larking," to the extreme annoyance of the passengers. The officers went up to them as they had pushed against n number of females in a most offensive manner, one of whom, they had nearly forced under the wheels of an omnibus, and told them to dssist from such disorderly conduct, but Bris tow clenched his fist and held it up in a very threatening manner in Inspector West's face, when Sergesnt Holmes interfered. Bristow then said to Holmes, " Oh, you are his friend, are you ?" and immediately struck him` a violent blow in the right eye, and knocked hint down. Inspector West then told the prisoners that they were police officers, and eventually, after some skirmishing, during which both officers were kicked and. struck, the defendants went quietly to the station-house. Mr. Corrie asked Bristow what he had to say in answer to the charge. Bristow said they were doing no harm when the officers interfered with them. They had been "• doing the Inter national", and were a little " spreeisb,'' but they had not been drinking to any great extent. They were not drunk, and theydid not know that the persons interfering with them were police officers until after the blows had been struck, tht-y were both in private clothes. Inspector West said he told all defendants, that they were police officers whilst Holmes wr,s on the ground. Inspei tor Mackenzie believed that all the defendants were drunk when they were brought to the station-house. Mr. Carrie said it was possible that the defendants did not know the persons "thom they had assaulted were police ~f ficers, and theref le he would not send them to prison. They must, however, pay a fine of .£2, each, and 4s. e‘ch tor the damage done to the officer's uniform. In default of paying the line, he should order them to be imprisoned for six weeks. MARL B 0 RO U GH- STRE ET. SHOPLIFTING IN REGENT -STREET —Susan Jackson and Bridget Sadler, both well-dressed women, and the latter with a child in her arms, were cb.arged with steal:ng three shawls and some poplin, of the value of £7, the property of Mr. Wi liam King, silk mercer, 243, Regent-street. Thomas Pratt, 311 A, said that while at the corner of Princes -street, Regent-street, the previous afternoon, he saw Sadler leave the shop of Mr. King, 243, Regent-street, and as she did so she dropped a shawl from under her dress. She then picked up the shawl, and ran into the Princess Charlotte public-house in Princess -street. He followed her in, and asked her where she got the shawl, and she said sh.s, had bought it. While speaking to her he saw her drop a piece of paper and two more shawls, and he took her back to Mr. King's shop, and she was afterwards searched, but nothing found on her. She gave a correct address. John Constantine, shonman to Mr. King, said the pri soners came in together, and purchased a small quantity of sarsnet, and then asked to see some shawls. He showed them several, and they bought one at lls. 6d., and went down stairs with him, and Sadler left the shop, leaving Jackson behind to pay. Sadler was directly after brought back by the officer. The shawl and poplin were the pro perty of Mr. King, and of the value of £7. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said there were 13 yards of poplin, and the shawls were grenadine shawls. Pratt said Sadler had been two or three times convicted. They were remanded. CHARGE OF ARSON. Johanna Jones, of 30, Stephen street, Tottenham -court-road, a married woman, was charged with wilfully setting fire to her room. Andrew Frew, a carpenter, said that last night, about 11 o'clock, while in his room, above that occupied by the prisoner and her husband, he smelt a strong smell of smoke from burning wood. He went down to the room, in. which there was only the prisoner, and found that she had piled a quantity of things on the fire—shirts, knife-boy, &c., and the place was full of fire and smoke. He observed the prisoner walking about the room, r ,virg as if she wag either mad or drunk. He put out the fire as well as he could, and then called for help. In answer to questions, the witness said the Woman wag walking about the room with a pair of tongs in her hand and some other articles, which ha had no doubt she was going to add to the fire. __ _ Samuel Drake, 122 E, said he was called to the house in Stephen-str et by the cry of " Fire," and on go i ng u p to the prisoner's room on the second floor, found a large body of fire, and the prisoner going a b out the room raving mad, he believed, from drink. The prisoner was also saying something about loyalty. mr. Knox said the woman, was clearly not fit to be at large , and he should remand her for a week. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.
