The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. SECOND READINGS. Oa the motion of Lord REDESDALE, the following bills were read a second time :—Rty's Estate ; Balby and Worksop Road ; Alyth Railway ; and Brentiord GAO. Lord PORTMLN presented a petition from 3,500 inhabitants of Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich, in livour of an equalisation of the poor-rates. Earl sr. GER&LAINS called the attention of their lordships to a motion that had f some time stood upon the paper. It involved a number of questions, one of which related to the death o' Mr. Sullivan, at Lima, another reflected very much upon Sir J. Brooke, and went so far as to say that the conduct of that gentleman had been such a, to desecrate the name of England throughout the East. He thought it highly inconvenient such notices should remain on the paper if there was no intention of putting the question. The Earl of MALMESBURY said no doubt such a circumstance was inconvenient, but he did not think there was any remedy. He knew other notices to have remained much longer on the paper than that allt.ded to by the noble earl. Lo EDESDALE was of a similar opinion. The Earl of STANHOPE defended his noble friend (Lord Kingston) from the observations which the ques tion that stood at present in his name had given rise to. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS. Lord LYTTELTON gave notice that on Thursday next he should put a question to her Majesty's Govern meat as to whether it was intended to carry further the princ;p!e of competitive examination of candidates for the Civil Serjice. THE PAROCHIAL REGISTERS BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, this bill was read a second time, - the object of which was to place the registers of dissenting congregations on the same footing as to giving evidence in a court of jut tice as those of the Established Church. The law, as it at present stood, did not admit the right of dissenting registers to give evidence. Vbirb SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. CHANCERY AMENDMENT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading cf this bill, The object of the bill was to im prove the mode of proceeding in certain cases, on an application being made to the Court of Chancery. By tke law as it now stood, on any application for a breach of contract being ma le, the court had power to order a decree to issue, but it had no authority to enforce such order. There were various other amendments which it was proposed to make, in accordance with the Common Law Procedure Act, and, by the present bill, the mode of giving evidence was to be altered, so that instead oi, at now, a party being left in the dark as to the nature .1 the evidence it had to meet he would have a perfect knowledge of all that transpired. He bad hoped that the bill would have passed without opposition, bat ay he found his noble 'and learned friend (Lord St. Leonard's) was opposed to the bill, he should, pro viding it was read a second time, move that it be referred to a select committee. Lord BROUGHAM concurred in the course recom mended by the noble lord on the woolsack. Lord sr. LEONARDS then proceeded to state Lis objections to the bill. Lord CAMPBELL was of opinion that a very Brea' evil would be removed by the present After a few words fro - m Lord CRANWORTH, who approved of the bill, it way read a second time, and veer, d be referred to a select c)mmittee. Their lordships shortly afterwards adjuurned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following private bias were read a third time and passed :—Atlantic Telegraph Company ; Dean Valley Railway ; Eastern Steam Navigation ; Llanelly Har bour ; London and North-Western Railway (A ldi tional Works) ; London and North-Western (Extension from Long.ight) ; Oude Railway Company ; Wallasey Improvement ; Yar Bridge. SEVERN VALLEY RAILWAY BILLS (1855 AND 1856). Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the minutes of the evi fence taken before the committees on the Severn Valley Railway B lls in sessitns 1855 and 1856 be referred to the committee on group 10 of railway bills in reference to the Severn Valley Railway Bal.—Agreed to. HUDSON'S BAY. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that he should when the newly appointed Secretary for the Colonies was e in place bring forward the subject of the territories of tho Hudson's Bay Company. SUEZ CANAL. Mr. GIBSON asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he had any objection to lay on the table of the house the correspondence that had passed between this Government and the British Embassy at Con stantinople, and between this Government and any foreign country with reference to the Suez Canal ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it would be inconvenient to do so, and he must de cline acceding to the request. THE CONTROL OF THE ARMY. Sir J. WALSH asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether it was in the contemplation of the Go vernment to take any steps in consequence of the reso lution, which passed the house on Tuesday, in favour cf placing the whole administration and control of the army under the undivided authority of a single Minister ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that, considering the importance of the question that night under discussion, and the comparatively small and bare majority of the house by which the motion was carried, her Majesty's Government did not think it their duty to recommend any measures being taken on that vote. (Ob, oh, and Hear, hear.) Mr. P. O'BRIEN asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer if the house wool l have another opportunity of coming to a vote on the subject of the hon. member for Bodmin's resolution referred to ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could only stite that it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any measures in or out of the house in reference to the decision arrived at on the motion of the hon. member for Bodmin on Tuesday last. INDIA. Mr. ROEBUCK asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer if it was his intention to proceed on Monday with the Indian resolutions as promised I The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it war , . By that time be expected the President of the Board of Control would be in his place in that house. 'CHINA. Mr. KINGLAKE asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether any despatches Lad been received from Lord Elgin, and especially any despatches comtnu ideating the fact of a rupture of the negotiations which had been opened with the Government of the Em peror of China ; and, if so, whether there would be any objection to lay upon the table of the hour-, copies of such despatches, and of any other correspon dence respecting our differences with China : And whe ther, consistently with due regard to the public service, he could now state the in'enttons of her Majesty's Go vernment with respect to the prosecution cf our demands against the Emperor of China ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sai d tl e member was u n d er an erroneous impreerioni n up poe:intehte 'her_tionwas a rupture ( f negotiations in Chi t a had done W E t al ra s ry, what the Empe ro r o f Chii,p to meet Lord i rt to rend a Mi n i ster o f S tate ha bad a at angb&, but to Canton, whereasked g asked E i g i n bits, but Lord E'e Lord n h aw to return and m ' et advanced towards the not With reference to the prosecution of our demands, he nitre:, remind the hon. gentleman her jAI ' aesty ki GO , em inent was acing at present with wil e fore, inconvenient to lay on the table andany i t n w ts a t r s u , c t h tioua that had been given on the sut ject b y their p redecessor; or themst lves subsequently . Under these ci rcumstan c es he must decline making the statement referred to . K EDUCATION —THE PAPER DITTIES. Mr. M. GIBSON gave notice that in consequence supply on the education vote, he should ca ii be attention of the house to the inconsistency ( maiatainipg the paper duties in reference to the efforts made by l'arliament to promote education, and he should move a resolution that the permanent continuance of the paper duty was a source of ;revenue that was impo litic, and that some financial arrangement should be made for dispenßing with it on an early day. (Hear.) BARRACK MASTERS. Mr. WARREN asked the Secretary for War, whether any and what steps were being taken towards improving the condition of Barrack Masters, with reference to the revised scale of pay recently prepared in the Barrack Department I Gen. PEEL said no revised scale of pay had been recently prepared. The heads of the barrack depart ment had the subject under their consideration, but there were so many difficulties in the way that no change could take place daring the present financial year. THE GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENT AT WEEDON. Mr. NICOLL asked the Secretary of State if his atten tion had been called to a report that an officer high in the public service had recently absconded ; and if it were true that the principal books and accounts at the Government establishment at Weedon had for nearly three years been kept oil the principle of single entry, during which period a complete stock-taking of stores had not been effected : And, in the event of there being some foundation for these statements, if it was the in tention of Government to cause an immediate investi gation into the whole of the facts of the case ? General PEEL said it was true that the principal storekeeper at Weedon bad absconded. He left on Wednesday, the 19th of May, to return on the follow ing Saturday to pay the men their wages. He failed to do so, and a telegraphic message was received in London on the Sunday to that effect. A detective was immediately employed, who traced the btorekeeper to Liverpool, and found that he had em barked on the Saturday, and bad sailed for Boston Two gentlemen went on the Monday to Weedon to examine the books. They had done so, and had reported that they had been correctly kept by double entry, and had been duly examined up to the 31st December la , t. The quarter accounts for March were sent in, but as soon as it was found he had absconded, the supply of money was stopped. A new storekeeper had been a..)- pointed before the late storekeeper absconded, and the examination of the store that took place in consequence was probably the cause of his absconding. An examination of the stores, with the ledgers, was being made, and as soon as it was finished the deficiency would be correctly ascertained. SUPPLY. On the bringing up of the report, Mr. lIORSMAN defended himself from the insinua tion thrown out on a former night, by the hon. member for Wexford, relating to the manner in which he (Mr. Horsman) conducted his official business when Secretary for Ireland. Mr. M'MAHON complained of the right hon. gen tleman selecting his remarks on which to found a charge prejudicial to him (Mr. M'Mabon), whilst he had passed over stronger remarks from his friends on the same sub ject. He (Mr. M'Mahon) had intended to have retracted what he had said about the right hon. gentleman being above his office, which was a matter of opinion ; but be now thought be should be able to prove that the right hoe, gentleman, so far from being above his office, and looking down on it, was very much beneath it. The bon. and learned gentleman then referred to his state ments on a former occasion, and to the right hon. gen• tleman's reply and reiterated his charge against him in not having trusted him, as one gentleman ought to trust another, in matters of public business. The aristocratic gentleman had selected him (Mr. M'Mahon) as a vic tim, whilst he had allowed the hon. and learned gentle man the member for Roscommon to make use of stronger language against his official conduct and in his presence without resenting it. The general impression in Ireland was that the right hon. gentleman was the most inefficient Secretary for Ireland they had ever bad. Sir G. GREY regretted the time of the house bad been taken up in a personal difference beween the two hon. gentlemen. He bore testimony to the efficient manner the right hon. gentleman had discharged official duties that came within his (Sir G. Grey's) knowledge relative to Irish affairs. Lord NAAS detailed the duties that devolved on the Chief Secretary for Ireland, and said they were not of that light and unimportant character which the right hon. gentleman the member for Strood considered them to be. Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said the the right hon. gentleman, during► the time they were colleague.i, paid the greatest attention to his official duties, and appeared to be well informed on Irish affairs, He also found him courteous in manner, attenttve to all applications made to him, and most anxious to give every information p )s -posible. He regretted to find the right hon. gentleman (Nfr. Horsman) had disparaged the duties of the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. Mr. VANCE complained of the conduct of the right bon. gentleman whilst he was Chief S,cratary for Ireland. He invariably put Irish balls at the bottom of the list, and it was imposible to get from the right hon. gentleman if he intended to proceed with them ; and Irish members were put to the inconvenience of remaining til: the adjournment of the house to watch the course he intended to pursue with them. After some further discussion, The subject dropped, and the house went into Com mittee of Supply. (LEFT SITTING.

ASCOT RACES,-WEDNESDAY. The " unfashionable day," as usual, presented the prettiest race of the week. The Hunt Cup brought out 28 competitors, and as the horses descended the bill from the New Mile starting post the scene was extremely gay and picturesque. The bookmakers however scarcely enjoyed the race, for it resulted in the success of the favourite, the only animal, with, perhaps, the exception of Coroner, that had been supported with spirit in the ring. The meeting of Fitz Roland and Eclipse was the most interesting event of the day, and the style in which Eclipse defeated the "Two Thousand victor" showed that his Derby partisans had cogent reasons for backing him for the great Surrey event. The attendance was scarcely even up to a Wednes day's average, but the weather was delightfully fine, and the absence of the crowd enabled the spectators to enjoy the proceedings to the top of their bent. The prospect of a great Cup-day is most cheering, and although the Queen will not be present, it was rumoured on the Heath that the Prince of Wales will occupy the Royal Stand. The sport was decided as under : The Coronation Stakes of 100 soya each, h ft ; for three yr old fillies, 83t 71b each ; certain penalties. Old Mile. 15 subs. Mr. J.

Oa proceeding to the post King William and Vrow were restive and repeatedly broke away. The horses, however, were at length hrought under proper command, and Mr. Hibburd seizing the right opportunity, despatched the 28 competitors from the post incompact order. They rose above the bill in a line, stretching right across the course, and de scended it like a charge of cavalry, the " two reds," Cotswold and Mitraille, only, showing in the rear. As nearly as we were enabled to determine, the front rank comprised Tricolor, Scribbler, Rosa Bonheur, Hesperi thusa, Kestrel, King William, Hydromel, Saunterer, and Glenmasson, the others, with the exception of Blue Jacket, Cotswold, and Mitraille, running in a body at their heels. Soon after passing the road King William and Hydromel disappeared from the front, and at the distance Hesperithusa become second, Tricolor going on with a slight lead, with Scribbler and Kestrel well laid up. Halt way in the distance Tricolor dropped back and Hesperithusa came out, Scribbler, lying se cond to the enclosure opposite the R iyal Stand, where Kestrel headed him, but failed in her effort to reach the favourite, who won easily by two lengths, half a length between the second and third, and a neck between the ' third and fourth, Little C A), King William, Frederick, Greenwich Fair, Blue Jacket, and Hydromel beaded the next lot.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1858, IRELAND. DUBLIN, JUNE 1. O'CONNELL'S ASSETS. A curious motion which came before the Court of Chancery yesterday brought to light for the first time the pecuniary position of the late Daniel O'Connell at the time of his death, 11 years ago. It would seem strange that the recipient of almost countless tributes—commencing at 50,0001., and scarcely ever falling below 10,0001. annually— should have died in straitened circumstances. The gro3s amount of the assets is not equal to two years of Mr. O'Connell's income while a practitioner at the bar. These facts transpired in the following brief arguments in the case of " O'Connor v. O'Connell :" " Mr. Hickson, Q.C., for the petitioner, whose demand was that of an owner of a life annuity of 601., payable out of the property of the deceased, stated the facts of the case, and the result of the accounts as taken before the Master. The annuity payable to Mr. O'Connor, the petitioner, a nephew of the late Mr. O'Connell, had been given for value, and, having been allowed to fall into arrear, 5451. was now the amount due ; and the report also found that portions of the estate had devolved upon the late Mr. Maurice O'Connell, who, although he had paid oft some of the liabilities, had in other re spects misapplied the property. Other funds had been also transferred to Mr. John O'Connell, whose death occurred within the last few days ; and now the position of the assets was that a sum of 5,3001. stock represented the value of a leasehold property formerly the estate of the de ceased, as since sold in the Encumbered Estates Court ; while 1,5001. Government Stock, with 30 shares in the National Bank, and sums of 6001. and 1,1001., had been previously disposed of. Upon the . frame of the decree which now was to be pronounced by the Court, a question arose as to whether it ought to provide that a SUM should be set apart sufficient to produce upon investment an annual income equivalent to the petitioner's annuity, as, when the prior incumbrancers wet% paid in the Encumbered Estates Court, an applica tion would be made to have the fund then trans ferred to this court to be administered in accordance with its decree in the present suit, which ought, therefore, to follow the usual precedent, as the petitioner had no wish to part with the life annuity, and bad refused to accept a sum of money by way of purchase. " Mr. D. Sherlock, Q.C., appeared upon the other side, and mentioned that although different questions had arisen upon the settlement of the notes of the decree, now, however, in consequence of the death of the 1 kte Mr. John O'Connell, the position of whose circumstances parties were aware of, the only matter to be decided was as to the petitioner's annuity. The Encumbered Estates Court, if the case were disposed of there, would follow their ordinary practice, and make the party ascertain the value of the annuity, and take a sum in gross, or else they would purchase a Government annuity, and thus the balance of the fund might be set at liberty to be allocated among puisne j udi, es. " Leahy, for a legatee, also argued that if the decree were as now sought by the petitioner, much inconvenience would arise, his client having been paid a legacy of 1,5001., which, in the event of the fund now realised not being distributed, might be required to be brought in if unpaid cre ditors so insisted. " The Lord Chancellor, observing that the question was one of practice, which it was de sirable he should consider further, reserved his decision." Whitbread, gardener to H. Colyer, Esq., for six Cape heaths ; Mr. 0. Rhodes, gardener to J. Phil pott, Esq., for eight Cape heaths ; Mr. 0. Rhodes, gardener to J. Philpotts, Esq., for eight green house azaleas ; Mr. J.

(From the Daily News.) There is something exquisitely ludicrous in the actual state of political parties. We have a Conser vative Government, a Government supported by the blessed army of Tory martyrs who have clung to their faith, and refused to follow first Canning and then Peel in their schismatical courses. And what is this last hope of orthodox Toryism doing for the true political faith ? In the House of Lords it has acquiesced in the proposal that Lord Lynd hurst shall introduce a bill to admit the Jews into Parliament. In the Commons it has acquiesced in the proposal to send up a Church-rate Abolition Bill to the House of Lords, and has, by a majority of its members, declared the property qualification a sham that ought to be abolished. The work of reform goes on, if anything, rather more smoothly and rapidly under Lord Derby than it did under Lord Palmerston. Le roi refine et ne gouverne pas. A. Tory Ministry draw the quarterly salaries, but reformers dictate the course that is to be pursued both by the Legidlisture and the Executive. Now, we confess that we are no admirers in the abstract of an "organised hypocrisy." If reforming work is to be done, we should prefer it being done by avowed reformers. Neither we, however, nor the great body of reformers, have any choice. The case stands thus : There are in the political world two great patties—the party that would advance and the party that would stand still. The stand still party are divided among themselves ; one sec tion (the supporters of the present Government), would make their stand upon ground that has al ready been out away from beneath their feet • the other (who would gladly rally round Lord Palmer ston it he would consent to lead them) are contented to retain such old abuses as have been leftthem. This latter section has, with jusuitical dexterity, broken apparently with its less praCtical fellow-believers in the stand-still creed, and mingled in the ranks of the party of Progress. It has contrived to gain such an influence over some of the leaders of the party, that it has of late years been able to arrest every onward movement. The delay is felt, though its cause is not distinctly seen, and the cinsequence is an amount of mutual distrust and irritation among Reformers that has effectually neutralised the efforts of the party. " A house divided against itself cannot stand." The divided party called Liberal has bean obliged to make way for the united party called Conservative. The divided party called Liberal must be content to remain in the background until it can agree upon a policy; and it cannot agree upon a policy until the Conservatives who have intruded into its ranks betake themselves to their natural allies. Meanwhile, the section of the stand-still party in power, having a whole nation of Reformers to deal with, are reluctantly compelled to acquiesce in many measures of reform. Of this necessity earnest and active members of the Party of Pro gress are taking advantage, and the work of reform goes on, riotwi. hstanding the inability of Reformers to organise themselves for the support of a really reforming Government. We accept the position, and will do our best to make the most of it. Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to see such a re-organisation of the Party of Progress as would ensure the per manei.t instalment of a Government of Reformers in office. But such a desirable state of affairsi s not to be brought about by the agreement of a few pro minent politicians to forego their mutual piques and jealousies. The great Party of Progress through out the nation must have satisfactory guarantees that the prominent politicians who agree to forego their piques are sincerely and earnestly bent upon carrying out a policy which will entitle them to its support. Such guarantees it is not likely to get to day, or perhaps to-morrow; but, as sooner or later they will be given, it can afford to wait. And, in the meantime, if it will only support Mr. Locke King, Sir John Trelawney, and others like them, it may get a gt od deal out of our present most squeez able rulers. No further gone than yesterdayit was determined, in the House of COIIIII2OIIR, by a majority of 222 to 109—of more than two to one—to proceed imme diately with the bill for abolishing the property qualification of members of Parliament. And after this vote the bill passed through committee, with no opposition worthy of the name. We have no desire to exaggerate this victory. It is little more than a declaration on the part of the House of Com mons that it will no longer tolerate shams. This, however, is indicative of a healthy state of mind ; and it is not probable that the House of Lords will attempt to maintain an untenable position in the face of so large a majority. A remarkable admission was made by Mr. New dega. ein the course of the debate. He admitted that he opposed the bill, not on its own merits, but because he regarded it as part of a wide measure of reform. From the same view of the question, Lord J. Russell drew a diametrically opposite practical inference. He expressed a hope that those members of the Government who had supported Mr. L. King's measure for the abolition of the property qualifica tion would also support that boo. member'smeasure for the extension of the county franchise. The two measures, as Mr. Newdegate acutely observed, are parts of one great comprehensive measure of reform. Their aim and their tendency are one. Those who sincerely give their support to one connot honestly withold it from the other. The readiness evinced by Government to ensure an early day for the dis cussion of the bill for extending the county franchise warrants a hope that they will deal with it in the same spirit as they have dealt with that for the abo lition of the property qualification. At all events, their obvious anxiety to enter into the discussion is au encouragement to earnest reformers to proceed. There is another topic that falls under this dis cussion of the House of Commons next week—the Ballot. On the question of tne abolition of the property qualification and the extension of the county suffrage, We may assume that all reformers are now agreed. These two points may safely be made part of the programme upon which the party of progress is to be reconstructed. The question of the ballot—in our eyes'a far more important ques tion than either of the other two—stands, we are free to admit, in a somewhat difficult position. That the principle of s cret voting will be affirmed by a majority of the House of Commons there can be no doubt. But whether this majority will in clude so large a proportion of the Partyot Progress in the house, and names of such weight, as to en title its supporters to insist upon the ballot being made an article of the programme of the reoon structed party remains to be seen. This ought to act as a spur to the balloteers. Every parliamen tary advocate of the ballot ought to be at his post. Every constituency in which the supporters of the ballot constitute a majority ought to give their re presentatives frankly to understand that their seats at the next election will depend upon the votes they give on this question. Every individual sup porter of the ballot, and every knot of supporters, ought to pour in petitions for it upon the House of Commons. A regular and relentless " whip" ought to be forthwith instituted by the supporters of the ballot throu2,hout the three kingdoms. The present is an opportunity for having it recognised as an article of the creed of the Party of Progress that may not soon return if it is not now turned to account. GOOD NEWS FOR OUR CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS —The Greek Government, by a recent decision, has reduced the export duty on currants from 18 drachmas (near:y a franc each) to 6 the 1,0001b.5.

I boldly assert that the pleasure of Continental tra velling is not only not overrated, bat that it is one of the greatest and purest pleasures which this world can give. It is not the travelling, but the travellers who are in fault. Otir friends in the dusty voiture had been doing had been doing too much. Having perhaps but two or three weeks to spare, they thought that the best way of enjoying them was to get over as mach ground as possible. Accordingly, they rushed in a few hours from London to Bale or Geneva, their impressions of foreign countries being thus far limited to sea-sicknese, gesticulation, jabber, gendarmes, passports, billets de bagages, and salles d'attente. They probably rose in a state of utter bewilderment at two or three o'clock in the morning tringaion,f the day on which it was your privilege to see them ; s i nce w hi c h t h ey h ave b een in an ornnibu,, a railway a steamer, over a mountain pass, and five or six hours with a voiturier.

Fraser's Magazine. HARVEST IN THE SOUTH OF EUROPE.'— The accounts re ceived from the south of Europe relative to the ci rn crops are rig t very satisfactory. The prolonged drought of the month of April militated against the earirg of wheat, and it is thought there will be an undue quantity cf straw. The yield will, it is believed, be but moderate in Lombardy, Konnagna, and the ki:gdoen of Naples. In Algeria the wheat harvet will commence about the middle of the present month. It is generally affirmed that in the provinces of Algiers, Oran, and Constantino the harvest_witl b e- i at i s f actory for wheat and barley, and indifferent foe oats. From Spain the accounts are contradictory. Two Miles. THE NEW ENGLISH JUDGE. The Cork Constitution says : " Mr. Hugh um, Q.C., who is to succeed Mr. Justice Coleridge as one of ►he judges of the Queen's Bench in England, is son of the late Mr. James Hill, of Graig, in this county, and brother in-law of Mr. George ChatUrton, of Ballynamote. Mr. Hill has been fur several years a distinguished and leading member of the English Northern Cir cult, and carries with him to the judicial bench, not only the weight of the greatest egal talent and knowledge, but also that of the highest general character. Cork may justly be proud that two of her sons (Sir J. Willes and Mr. Hill) have been selected to fill the high and honourable position of judges on the English Bench." To the list of fortunate Irishmen who have at tained to the same high position should bo added the name of Mr. Baron Martin, a native of the county of Londonderry. STATE OF BELFAST. The brutal rioting on Sunday was renewed on the following evening, anoth►-r funk ral procession to the burial-ground at Friar's Bush affording the oppor tunity for the recommencement of hostilities be tween the two ferocious factions. There was the same stone throwing, the same smashing of win dows, as took place on the first cliy ; but noth . ng very serious has as yet come of these brawls. The town, however, is in a state of great excitement ; and it will require no small amount of magisterial energy to keep the disturbers from committing more serious excemes tha❑ they have so far perpetrated. BELFAST, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, 11 P.M. Riots were renewed this evening with increased violence. The rioters visited the more populous parrs of the town, several places of worship of different denominations and private houses were attacked, and a considerable amount of property destroyed. All the disposable military and police are now parading the streets, and peace is some what restored. ROYAL BOT ANIU SOCIETY.

PIMLICO AND CHELSEA UNITY ROWING CLUB. TRADESIIEN'S FOUR -OARED RACE. The members of the above club rowed their second race of the season last evening from Putney-bridge to Chelsea for silver cups. The following were the crews : PINK. Mr. 11. Lidyard. Mr. F. Lidyard. Mr. J. Cooper. Mr. G. Blythe. Mr. H. Holmes, coxswain. BLUE. Mr. C. Watts. I Mr. W. Cossack. Mr. A. Betts. 1 Mr. E. Baker. Mr. A.

After a good start altogether Blue went ahead and remained so all the way down, winning by two lengths ; a close race between White and Pink resulted in Pink being tails.'. WELLINGTON YACHT CLUB. The first match of this recently established yachting club, under the immed►ate patronage and presi'tenoy of the Duke of Well►ngton, came off on Tuesday. His grace and Lord de Ros were present at the race, with a party of gentlemen, on board a boa: provided for their accom modation ; and it is many years since the reach of water between Battersea and Putney presented so animated and gay - an appearance. The following were the compet ing yachts, presenting, as it will be seen, a fine fleet : Yachts. Tons. Owners. Anglesey Wellington Blue Bell President Zonave Cremorne 3 ....,. „J. B. Barney. Belle Emily 8 The course was from Battersea-bride up to a boat off Wandsworth meadows, twice round the entire distance. The race was very fine and very exciting throughout. The wind was light from the westward, and ever and anon the boats were partially becalmed, but light airs sprang up, and the race was resumed with spirit and ardour. The lesser boats were conveniently placed, so that they might freely can't on a hundred yards or more above the larger ; and all being in readiness, with; ac companying cutters and shallops, a fine start was effected just before three o'clock. All were in trim almost in a ululate, when the Cremorne gallantly led the way up the reach, followed by the Anglesey, Bell, and Z suave, the latter fetching up well. They had to go about Spiller's, at which time the larger boats were beginning to overhaul the smaller, and were coming up fast in front. Off Salter's the picture was exceedingly fine. The Z wave was on the waterbeam of the Cremorne passing her ; the Belle was close astern of her ; and then came the Anglesey, and not more than ha:f a dozen yards off ; and next the Emily. The wind died off, and they had scarcely enough way upon them to go round well ; but at the moment they first turned there was a cat's-paw in their favour, and they rounded as f 'lows :—Z.tuave, Ore. more, Belle, Anglesey, Easily, President, and Biue Bell. In the run down the Emily hoisted an enormous calico square sail, and, after being put out of her course and driven foul of a boat by the Z ouave, slipped into the first place, turning the lowtr boat for the first time a minute and a half in advance of the Blue Bell, which bad become second, the Cremorne being third, the Welling ton fourth, and the Z suave next. From this point it was deemed by all present certain that the Emily, with her advantage of size, would win ; bet it turned out otherwise, for, with a lead of half a mile or nearly so, and within the same distance of the winning boat, the Emily became as much becalmed as though dead at anchor, aLd the Anglesey, quietly working the lee shore, suddenly put in an appearance, and won by half a minute, the Emily being second. Mr. Gamberdella, the commodore, presented the priat —a handsome silver cup—and the toasts of " The Queen,' "The Prrsident," &c., were duly honoured. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The entries for the first match of the season of the above popuLer club closed last night, and ara as follow : Fir•t el is?, exceeding 20 and not exceeding 30 tons. Yachts. T mas. Owners.

POLI - ag INTELLIGENCE.—June 2. MANSION-HOUSE.—Mr. Thomas Jones, a respectably-dressed man, of about 40 years of age, was charged before the Lord Mayor with having assaulted Ann, his wife. The prosecutrix, who exhibited a black eye, and was accommodated with a chair whilst giving her evidence, said—Yesterday I accidentally met the defendant, who has deserted me for a twelvemonth, in a confectionet's shop in Old Broad-street. I asked a friend of his who was with him to lend me a few shillings to pay my lodgings, but he declined doing so. I then asked the defendant whether he intended to let me starve in the streets, as I had not received any money from him for my support for nearly a twelvemonth. He made no reply, but attemp' ed to rush past me, upon which I told him that he should not go like that, and that Iliad been looking for him for 12 months in order to compel him to maintain me. lie put up his hand, and I struck him on the hat with my parasol. He took from hi pocket a knife, and said be should like to stab me with it, but I do not think he in tended anything of the sort. We then went to a pudic house in Bisbopsgate-street, where he per suaded me to give him my wedding-ring and keeper. He called for soma port wine for me, and drank several glasses of gin and wat e r himself, when he suddenly gave me a blow in th e flee and darted out of the 'house.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday. ) Business has scarcely yet resumed its course after the holidays. The attendance on 'Change has in deed been comparatively small. The prices offered for the middle and lower counts of yarns are rather below those a week back, and buyers are able to do a little better for themselves than they were then. Thisis more par ticularly the case with 16's to 28's warps, and 32's cop twist, as well as with wefts of corresponding numbers, and 40's twist in the bundle. In some of these, the practical difference is now id. per lb., in others Id. as compared with this day fortnight. On the other hand, Nos. 4to 12, in both mule and water remain steady. The dearness of Surat cotton contributes to this steadiness. The spinners of 60's and upwards are obliged to decline the very inade quate terms submitted to them. Double yarns are still neglected, and weaker in price. Forty-inch shirtings for the East may be had at a decline of 14d. to 3d. per piece from the late full quotations. The commercial and political advices from both India and China tend to restrict bu9i ness, yet offers are made by merchants, but they are mostly such as manufacturers are not prepared to accept. Domestics, T's, longcloths, and printers are not affected in an equal degree, but they are inanimate, and whatever rates may be offered• are slightly in the wrong direction ; producers, how ever, continue to bo remarkably firm. The state of the raw material at the present mo. ment is evidently affecting our market in some de gree, as is also the unsatisfactory aspect of political affairs. It is needful to direct attention to some circum stances in the struggle now going on between the power-loom-weavers of Great Harwood and their employers. The former sent a very respectful letter the other day to the latter, requesting a conference, by deputation, for the purpose of attempting an agreement. Accordingly a meeting took place en Saturday last. The representatives of the weavers heard what the masters had to say,. and caudidlY admitted that the grounds for the reduction for wages were valid. Various terms of compromise wars named and discussed ; and, at last, conditions were agreed to on both sides, subject, however, to ratification or otherwise on the Monday: - The par ties met again on Monday, when the representa tives of the hands stated the regret they felt at not being allowed to confirm the previous provisional agreement. Mr. Whittle, said they, with certain delegates, had come over from Blackburn, and told them that they had no power to settle matters ; that it was the province of the committee to accept or reject terms ; and that, on the part of that body, he (Mr. Whittle) forbade them to resume work on any abatement whatever from the old wages. So these poor people are forbidden to earn their dsilY bread by a knotof despots who could not pocket the subscriptions of their dupes if they permitted theta to manage their own affairs. But this is not the worst result of the tyranny. It is attempted to frighten the manuf ac t urers i n t o submission.. we see that a reward of 501. is oflered for " such infor mation as will lead to the apprehension and con' viction of some person or persons who, on Satur day night last, or early on Sunday morning, killed a valuable cow, and cut and wounded in a most dan gerous manner an in-foal mare, both the propertY, ofMr. R.

It is to be hoped that conduct so wicked, viewed in con' nect.on with the intolerable dictation above de' scribed, will open the eyes of all well-disposed and thoughtful weavers at Harwood to the degrading and ruinous character of the despotism which r ules them with an iron hand.
