EAST INDIA 110IISt, 10th June, 1846. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the East India Company do hereby give Notice, thata Proprietor of East India Stock has Postponed until the Quarterly General Court of the said Company, appointed to be held at their house in Leadenhall-street, on Wednesday, the lith instant, the motion of which he had previ ously given notice, viz.:— " That, adverting to the charge of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta, on his recent departure from Bengal, and now reprinted in England, and also to the printed statements of the Rev. James Peggs, late a mis sionary in Oressa, it be referred to the Hon. Court of Directors, to consider whether the time is not arrived when such rites and usages as contradict the law of nature, and overthrow the first principles of our common humanity, may not be terminated consistently with the amelioration of the natives, and the security of our Indian empire." That a Proprietor has given notice, that at the said Quarterly Ge neral Court, he proposes "To call the attention of the Court of Proprietors to the advan tages conferred on India by the exertions and perseverance of Lieut. Waghorn, with a view of recommending his services to some fitting remuneration or acknowledgment." . . . That a Proprietor has given notice, that at the said Quarterly General Court he will Call the attention of the Proprietors to the conduct of the Court of Directors, and prefer certain charges against that body in connexion with the case of the deposed Raja of Sattara," and That he will also " present a memorial from Peter Gordon, Esq., a member of this Court, relating to his expulsion from British India, by the authorities of that country." JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. GRAY'S SWAN COMMEfieiAl, AND FAMILY HOTEL, BRIDGE-STREET, BRISTOL. Long continued 111-health had induced the Proprietor a short time since to announce the business of this Hotel for disposal, he having been disabled from paying that ative personal attention to its management, which an extensive patronage by tke public deservedly and indispensably required. It has, therefore, become necessary for the advertiser, W. Gray, that he should with returning health thankfully make known his relinquishment of all intention, for the present, of letting this estab lishment; his usual personal superintendence of which he has the happiness again to be fully able to resume. In addition to this announcement to the public, W. G. has pleasure In advising the frequenters of this house—his commercial friends More particularly—of his having succeeded in obtaining possession of a portion of the adjoining premises, so as to have enlarged the ac commodations of the hotel. Without wishing to assume a credit for past attention to his cus tomers beyond that which they may properly have expecte 1, W. G. cannot help adding an assurance for the future to all his visitors, that it will ever be his wish to merit the patronage he receives, and his ambition to maintain the Swan among the first in the class of Com mercial Hotels. . . _ _ _ Omnibuses to and from every train.

Published in time for the Morning Malls. Whitefriars, June 11th. The Proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS regret to learn that the Paper has not always reached the Subscribers so early or so punctually as might reasonably have been anticipated. Their apology is, that the success of the great experiment so far exceeded all expectation that it was not possible to produce the required numbers, even with the most powerful machinery, in time for the Morning Expresses and Mails ; and the number of Post-office orders which poured in made it difficult, and some days impossible, to distribute them among the Trade—so that delays in executing such orders were unavoidable. They trust, however, that their ar rangements are now so compete as to insure the Subscribers against all chance of delay : yet, as all the respectable News Agents have given to the DAILY NEWS an active support, and many have announced by advertisement their willingness to supply the paper for 16s. 4d. per quarter—payment being made in advance—the Pro prietors ecommend that new Subscribers should order copies direct from a News Agent, and only when there is an apparent difficulty transmit a Post-office order, payable to Joseph Smith, DAILY NEWS Office, Whitefriars, London.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health frill threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of mature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, It Is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we s h o uld know the simple principles of our owu organization, th e l aws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge . , and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

JOHN TAYLOR w ill S e ll by A uc ti on , at the George Inn, at Chipping Sodbury, on FRIDAY, the 19th of June, 1846, at Four o'clock in the afternoon (unless pre viously disposed of by Private Contract, of which due notice will be given), A modern and substantially-built DWELLING HOUSE, situate in the town of Chipping Sodbury, late the residence of Miss Brooke, deceased, comprising entrance hall; dining-room, 20 feet by 15 feet; drawing-room, 20 by 15 ; five good bedrooms, water-closet, three servants' roans, kitchen, scullery, with furnace copper for brewing, and forcing puinps.for supplying a bath and cistern up-stairs, butler's and cook's pantries, larder, a good arched cellar, wine cellar, with all other convenient offices. There is also a stable, yard, greenhouse, and most productive large walled garden, tastefully laid out and well stocked witth fruit trees, the whole standing on nearly an acre of ground. A close of rich pasture land, containing three acres, two roods, may also be purchased with the house. The premises are well supplied with hard and soft water. The house is in a complete state of repair, fit for the immediate reception of a family, To a gentleman of moderate means, the above offers an opportunity of securing a roomy and comfortable dwelling-house at a small expense. Part of the above is held for a residue of a term of 2,000 years from the Ist day of April, 1675, at the yearly rent of a peppercorn. Chipping Sodbury is 11 miles from B istol, 14 miles from Bath, and within two miles of the Yate station on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway. Besides the parish church, there is a Roman Catholic chapel, and a Baptist meeting lion e in the town. The greater part of the furniture may be taken by the purchaser at a valuation if required. To view the property, apply at the house ; and for further par ticulars, to Messrs. Wilde, Bees, Humphrey, and Wilde, solicitors, College-hill, London; to Messrs. W. and C. Bevan, solicitors, Small stre t; or to J. P. Sturge and Son, land agents and surveyors, Broad street, Bristol. it would appear at first sight that the Garland is the supe rior vessel, her increased speed being nearly a third of a mile per hour beyond that attained by the Violet, or in the ratio, 43 to 42. She also made the quickest passage on record from Ostend to Dover, steaming from port to port in 3 hours 55 minutes. A li:tle closer examination of the merits of the rival boats will, however, lead us to pause before we deter mine the relative superiority of the Garland. The Garland is confessedly a slight boat, built for one object only, speed, and accordingly her draught of water is less than either of the other vessels. The Violet and Onyx, though built for speed, are also built to stand the chopping seas in the Chan nel. We must have better evidence, the test, at least, of six months wear and tear, before we accord the palm to the " oak" over the " iron gnome," or pronounce the Garland to be a better boat than the Violet. The former is, not withstanding, a good boat, and reflects great credit on her constructor. LAW IN TELLIGEN CE. ADMIRALTY COURT, June 12. (Before Dr. LUSHING TON. ) THE SIRI US.-COL LISIO N. The Court was aided in this caseW - Captain Nelson and Captain Farrer, from the Trinity House, nautical skill being required to settle the points of navigation in dispute. The owners of the schooner Deft were the parties proceeding against the Sirius steamer, the former vessel having been run into on the 14th November last, being struck on the larboard quarter, cut down to the water's edge, and soon afterwards sunk in deep water. The collision took place off the Gull Light, and the Deft sank in ten fathoms water, off Walmer Castle. The lost vessel was proceeding to Caen, in France, with coals, and the Sirius, of 412 tons, with two engines of 140-horse power, was bound from Cork to Plymouth, with a general cargo. The case was con ducted by plea and proof. It was pleaded that the Daft was sailing, at the time of the collision, with the wind at N. W. by W. The Sirius had the wind N.E. to N.N.E., and as soon as possibly after the vessels neared each other, the steamer's engines were stopped, and her helm ported. The crew of the lost vessel were saved by a ship called the Mary; the steamer having pursued her course, as there was no appearance of any serious damage having been done to the Deft. The night was bright and the wea- ther moderate. The material averment against the Sirius was, that counter orders were given—first, that the helm was ordered a starboard; next, to port; then to starboard again ; then hard a-port ; and afterwards " hard a-star board," &c. The value of the Deft was stated at 6741. Drs. Addams and Bayford appeared for the owners of the Deft; Drs. Haggard and Twiss supported the case of the owners of the Sirius, and contended that the whole fault of the accident was attributable to the want of skill on the part of those on hoard the Deft. The Learned JUDGE stated the facts, and held if the steamer did not port her helm and stopped her engines, she did that which was right. But the evidence was, that one of the crew of the Sirius saw the Deft when she was full two miles off, steering S.W. half S. The master of the steamer put his helm to port, but not until the collision was inevi table. Whether a steamer or any other vessel came before the Court, as in argument it had been presumed that such powerful vessels had not full justice done to them, he (Dr. Lushington) would only mention that all parties coming before the Court had, as far as practicable, justice done to them. It would be for the gentlemen by whom the Court was assisted to consider if the orders—first, to port the helm —then to starboard—then to port—did not lead to the colli sion in this case. The Trinity Masters retired with the Learned Judge, and after a short interval they returned, and • Dr. LUSHINGTON said the gentlemen whose assistance this Court had had the benefit of were of opinion that both ves sels were to blame. In that opinion he (Dr. Lushington) entirely concurred. The next question was where blame was on both sides both parties must bear the share of the loss and damage. The Court very much regretted it had to speak strongly upon the conduct of the steamer. The persons on board the Sirius, it was proved, heard the hailing after the collision took place, and they ought not to have taken it for granted, or as a matter on trust, that the ship had not suffered injury. It was her bounden duty, and in accordance with the principles of humanity, to stop to render assistance. Much was it to be lamented that such an obvious duty had been neglected. Under all the circum stances, and in conformity with a decision given by Sir John Nichol, the Court felt itself bound to condemn the Sirius in the costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. THE NAVIGATION BYE-LAWS.—Henry George Hudson, the commander of the Bride steam-boat, was summoned be fore Alderman Gibbs, yesterday, by ➢ir. Fellows, of King's Bench-court, Temple, for the violation of one of the bye laws framed for the River Thames navigation by the Court of Aldermen. Mr. Prendergast, the barrister, and Mr. Cattarns, solicitor to the steam-boat company, appeared for the defendant. Alderman Goss said he considered the case proved, and fined the defendant in the penalty of 31. Mr. Cattarns gave notice of appeal against the decision. Mr. Henry Sharpe (of the house of Murray and Sharpe, of Paternoster•row, warehousemen), who some days ago underwent a long examination, upon suspicion of having committed a felony in the house of Messrs. Lewis and James, his former employers, appeared to undergo a final exami nation. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bal. lantine for the defence. Ma prat witztaaa called was Mr. Thomas Lamb Atkinson, who said—l am a ware houseman to Messrs. Lewis and James. On the 13th of last February I sent to Mr. Robertshaw, of Oxford-street, one of the pieces of 7-8 muslins, No. 1,600. On approbation we enter them in a book, and on the return of the cambric I directed Mr. Wood to cancel that entry. On the afternoon of the 14th, in making up my department, I missed this piece of 7-8 muslin. I mentioned this to Mr. Wood, who had cancelled the entry, and I directed Payne, another porter, to make inquiry about it. In consequence of this I communicated my suspicions to Mr. Lewis. I had before that time mentioned my suspicions to a Mr. Evans. Before Sharpe left the service he inquired of me if he could have a cambric-box. Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner—We also do so, and I considered it to be my duty to leave the cambric on the counter till the evening, and then to put it away; and on clearing up, about four o'clock, I missed it. The counter is at the end of the warehouse. There is a door leading to the street. I made my suspicions known to Mr. Lewis about Sharpe not a week after he left. My reason for doing so was, that I had seen Sharpe take linens out of the rack, and put them back again. Sharpe's duty was not with the cambrics. I belltve the cambric produced to be the cam. brie I packed up, from its quality. I carry it in my eye; but I will not swear to it. William Payne, porter to Messrs. Lewis and James, said he heard about the cambrics being missing on the 14th of February in the warehouse. He had seen Mr. Sharpe about one o'clock on that day about two yards from the place in which the cambrics were lying, and had observed him there before on the same day. Cross-examined—. lie remembered that many other per sons had been there as well as Mr. Sharpe. Several witnesses were examined to prove the identity of the pieces of French cambric. Alderman GIBBS stated that it was his intention to com mit the prisoner for trial to the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Ballantine then applied for leave to put in bail, which would be forthcoming to any amount, but The ALDERMAN r e f used to accept bail, and, the parties being bound over to p rosecute, the defendant was committed for trial. There are some fashions which have so little of the enduring principle in them, that they seldom survive the fluctuations of a sin g l e season ; others which, f rom t h e i r in trinsic merit, acquire a firm footing in public esteem, and enjoy a more extensive vogue in proportion as they become known to the public. Of the latter order of fashion is the invaluable Registered Paletot, made by the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, and patronized, we believe, by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. This exceedingly useful and agreeable garment was introduced to the public last year, and, instead of being shelved, with other fashions of an ephemeral character, is now in almost universal use. Nor can this be wondered at, when it is considered that the Paletot--a word, by the way, almost incorporated into the English vocabulary—is manufactured from a Llama woollen cloth, unrivalled for its beautiful and silky quality. Messrs. Nicoll appear to be deeply sensible of the high value of the patronage they enjoy, for we observe they illuminated their house on the occasion of her Majesty's birthday in a most superb and tasteful manner.—Court Journal _ I - ADVERTISEMENT.]-BRUSHES. —NEW INVENTIONS. —The Triple Hair Brush.

THE GREAT BLAST AT DowrmlLL.—The Belfast Chronicle gives the following account of this affair :—" This Much looked-for event came off on Saturday, and was completely success ful. In the early part of the day vast numl>ers flocked to the place from all parts of the neighbourhood and placed themselves in groups on various eminences commanding a view of the operations. Eight steamers, from different places, one the St. Mungo from Belfast, conveyed to the scene of action numbers of scientific men anxious to witness the powerful effects or the heavy charge of gunpowder on the solid rock to be cleared away for the rail way. Three flags were raised on a prominent situation to mark the progress of the operations. The taking 'down of the first was the preparative ; the second indicated that; all was In readi ness, and when the third was struck and a gun fired, the galvanic battery was applied, and immediately, with :t booming noise, the tremendous mass of rock, heaving outwards, hor prostrate tinder the powerful agency skilfully applied to it.

THE 50TH NIGHT OF BENEDICT'S " CRUSADERS.”-Drury lane Theatre last night was well attended, extra attractions being added to celebrate the fiftieth night of this popular opera, the composer conducting for the occasion. It was very well executed on the whole, and there were four encores, the brilliant rondo finale, of the two Prime Donne, Miss Romer and Miss Rainforth, included as a matter of course. Mr. Harrison was in good voice; when he sings in a subdued style his voice has beautiful qualities. The audience and band cheered Mr. Benedict heartily at the close. It has been remarked that the sure test of an opera's popularity is when the melodies reach the barrel organs. If this be the case, then is the Crusaders one of the most successful productions, for we hear the airs daily in grinding accents. After the opera SignorCastella distinguished himself by a performance on the violoncello, introducing Bellini's " A to o cora," from the Puritani, and the Irisk melody, " The last rose of summer," very beautifully. lie has a nice tone, infinite feeling, and Ma dame D ta u s i te ck . e n A a d n u d e t Morn. Wallace,vwo alt pianofortes, houg h e x i t e executed givenb y i n brilliant style, provoked signs of impatience, because it was much too long, in the first place; and secondly, the themes from Halevy's Eclair are not familiar to an English public. We heard this duet, which is the composition of Mr. Wal lace, at Madame Dulcken's concert, but did not like it on the first hearing, and still less on the second. It is too wild and incoherent, although it has some clever passages. A certain Herr Eisenbauti, a pupil of Spohr, was announced for a violin solo, but he did not show. Madame Montenegro, a Spanish lady, who has been a Prima Donna in Italy, was advertised some days previously, but her name was taken out of the bills of the evening. The pretty ballet of Paquita con cluded the bill of fare, and Carlotta Grisi created quite a furore by her talents as a mime and her unrivalled powers as a danseuse. IBRAHIM PACHA. Yesterday, previous to the Pacha leaving Mivart's for his round of visits, he gave an audience to Mr. Brettell, who was introduced to his Highness by Colonel Bonfort. The carriages were ordered at twelve o'clock to convey the Pacha and party to the Museum of the Society of Arts, in the Adelphi, to witness the annual distribution of prizes. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, the president of the Society, was to have taken the chair on the occasion, but was prevented from a slight accident in the early part of the morning, by which His Royal Highness's ancle was injured. The Pacha, attended by Major Dickson, and accompanied by General Ibrahim Bey, Colonel Bonfort, M. Carabet Effendi, and M. Nubar, interpreter to the Prince, proceeded to the Society's institution shortly after twelve o'clock. On their arrival, the Secretary, Mr. A. Aiken, and the following acting Vice-Presidents—Messrs. P. M. Rojet, D. Pollock, W. H. Bodkin, M.P., J. Ashton Yates, R. Twining, T. Webster, and W. Fothergill Cooke, received his Highness. The Pacha was elected a member of the society. His Highness being proposed by Mr. B. Roche, and seconded by Dr. Rojet. Ad miral Sir E. Codrington presided in the absence of Prince Albert. His Highness returned to his hotel before the business had concluded. At three o'clock, agreeably to appointment, Mr. Daniel O'Connell, M.P., waited on the Pacha to have an interview. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman was introduced to his Highness by General Soliman Pacha. The conference lasted nearly three-quarters of an hour. His Highness did not grant any more audiences yesterday. The Pacha next went to pay return visits. He was ac companied by M. Nubar, and attended by Major Dickson. His Highness called on his Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, at Hertford House, sad his Excellency Count Dietrichstein, at the Austrian Embassy. He also went to visit the Duke Sotomayor, but his Excellency was absent from town. His Highness also visited the Earl of Jersey, Viscount Canning, the Duke of Buccleuch, the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of Haddington, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladetone, the Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Somerset, the Earl Delawarr, and the Earl of Dalhousie, and then repaired to his hotel shortly after five o'clock. The congratulatory visits to the Pacha were very nu merous yesterday, the following having called at the hotel to insert their names in the book kept for that purpose :—Dwarkanauth Tagore, the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquis of Aylesbury, the Marquis of Ormonde, Vis count Palmerston, Earl Grey, Lord Brougham, the arl of Denbigh, the Earl of Sheffield, the Earl of Enniskillen, Ge neral Lord Aylmer, Lord Polworth, Lady Peel, Viscountess llardinge, Chekib Effendi, the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires ; Ad miral Sir E.

All the requisite arrangements were completed yesterday by Major Dickson for the illustrious Pacha's departure for the manufacturing districts and Scotland. His Highness, at tended by Major Dickson, and M. Nubar, leaves Mivart's at 5 o'clock this afternoon by railway for Birmingham. We learn that the Pacha intends to occupy ten days or a fort night in going over England and Scotland, and then returns to London, to remain about three weeks. Several of the leading nobility have sent invitations to the Pacha, all of which he has been obliged to decline until after he returns from the north. General Soliman Pacha and the other members of his Highness's suite are to sojourn in town during the absence of the Pacha. The General will most likely leave for France en route to Egypt at the close of the ensuing week. THE GRAND DUKE CONSTAN TINE OF RUSSIA. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY .—This morning at ten, his Imperial Highness, accompanied by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Flag-Lieutenant H. G. Morris, Baron Brunnow, Colonel Wylde, the Russian Admiral, and the other officers of his suite, left the Admiralty House for the King's Stairs, em barked in the Admiralty barge and went on board the Fanny, Master Commander Allen, the yacht of the Commander-in- Chief, which beautiful vessel his Highness appeared much pleased with ; from the Fanny the imperial party proceeded on board the Wyvern schooner yacht, the property of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough. From the Wyvern, his Highness and party proceeded on board the Lightning steam-vessel, which, with Sir Charles Ogle's flag at her main, and the Russian ensign at the fore, then proceeded out to Spithead, and down the Solent to Mede's Hole, where the royal party disem barked at noon, and went to inspect the palace at Os borne. From thence the Grand Duke and party proceeded to Cowes harbour, to inspect the yacht built for the Emperor Nicholas by Mr. Joseph White, which was launched on Wednesday. After this the august visitors re .embarked on board the Lightning, and made the circuit of the Isle of Wight, landing at Alum Bay for refreshment. The imperial party returned into harbour about six o'clock. A grand banquet and ball takes place this evening at the Admiralty House, to which the elite of these towns and neighbourhood are invited. The ball-room is most tastefully fitted up:with flags and festooned with evergreens and beautiful flowers, the Russian Imperial Eagle supporting on either side the Russian ensign at one end of the room, and the Royal Standard of England at the other, the whole presenting a coup-d'ail of the most pleasing character. Colonel Wylde returned to town this afternoon. Much dissatisfaction is expressed among the inhabitants here, at the circumstance of a number of the metropolitan police being sent down to patrol the streets in plain clothes, and watch and scrutinise every one who passes them, to see if he is a Pole; even the Admiralty House shares in the general suspicion of conspiracy, all its avenues being guarded by " detectives." The intended hospitality of the officers of the navy at this port has been checked by the Grand Duke's refusal to partake of it ; thus Sir Charles Ogle will also be prevented from accepting the invitation of the committee, as he must remain at home to entertain the Prince. The proceedings of the committee are suspended i n consequence of these unexpected drawbacks; but on th e re t urn of the Lightning this evening a deputation will wait upon the Russian ad miral, to know if he will h onour them with his company, together with the other officers of the Russian squadron, to whom also a deputati on w ill b e sent, when,if they ac quiesce, the entertainment will proceed ; if not, it will be abandoned. It is expected the Russian fleet will not remain many days longer, an order having come down from the Treasury to-day to work extra hours to. morrow night to get GOO bags of bread from the Clarence-yard for the Russian fleet (now the sole occupants of Spithead), from which it is inferred the ships will sail in a day or two. The police force from London was augmented to-day by extra members, on account of the ball this evening. We understand that the names fixed upon by her Majesty for the youthful Princess are " Helena Augusta Victoria," the sponsors being her Royal Highness the Dachas of Orleans, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, Rad his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz. The Duchess of Orleans is a near relative of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and, as a Protestant, is the only member of the French Royal Family who could perform the duties of sponsor to an offspring of our Royal House.—Times. OFFENCES IN THE PARKS.—Yesterday, the usual statement of offences in the Parks committed during the past month was posted at all the principal park entrances,: from which it appears that during the past month of May ten persons have been convicted of plucking flowers and damaging trees and shrubs ; n amely, seven in at. James's, and three in the Green Park, all of whom were tined in sums varying from 2s. 6d. to 10s., or sentenced to be lmprisonodt with hard labour, from three to seven days each. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. M. Jullien has taken this theatre for a short series of Concerts D'Ete, which commenced last evening. The theatre is elegantly fitted up, and M. Jullien has not neglected to introduce those magnificent vases, fi lled with the choicest flowers, which have hitherto been the prevailing characteristic of the Concerts D'Ete. M. Jullien has, however, made an innovation upon the usual programme of promenade concerts; he gives us vocal as well as instrumental music, and his vocalists are, like his instrumentalists, in the very first rank of the profession. Miss Birch and Herr Pischek are engaged for these concerts, and these artistes last night gave us the beautiful duet " 0 du Gliebile" in exquisite style. Monsieur and Mademoiselle Goldberg are likewise engaged, and in the duet " I Gondolieri," they were rapturously applauded. Herr Hoelzil gave the German song "Der Schmerz," in admirable style; and, altogether, the experiment of the introduction of vocal music into these concerts may be pronounced to have been most successful. The instrumental music consisted of a selection of favourite overtures, selections, quadrilles, and waltzes, performed as Jullien's band alone can perform them. The house was crowded to suffocation, and we may safely promise to M. Jullien a prosperous career for his Concerts D'Ete. ASCOT HEATH RACES FRIDAY. The favourable anticipation which we indulged in at the beginning of the meeting, have been, we are happy to say, fully verified by the results. The sport on the first three days was abundant, and the most fastidious have pronounced it first rate. The conclusion of the meeting, which, apart from the regretted absence of her Majesty, took place under the most felicitous circum stances, did not detract from its promising announce ment. The great feature yesterday was the rich prize offered for corspetition by the Directors of the Great Western Railway. Though " tarde venit et post long intervallo," it must be received with becoming gratitude. The Public Press, that ever takes the initiative in all that is useful or amusing, deserves popular thanks upon this head, for we do not hesitate to say that, had it not been for its representations, the great probability is that the directors would not have thought of setting apart any portion of the large profits annually derived from the races to the improvement of them. As is generally the case at the wind-up of a long meet ing, the attendance yesterday was confined to the keen minority, who are always determined to be in at the finish ; who, after the bustle, jostling, and excitement of the cup day, looked for a good quiet day's racing, without annoyance or interruption, and they were not disap pointed. Before we conclude, we should not forget to compliment Lord Rosslyn and his staff on the efficient manner in which their arduous functions were performed. The starting, judging, weighing and keeping of the course, were all that might have been expected from parties who on all occasions have proved themselves eminently qualified for the duties assigned to them. The only contretemps worth speaking of were the exhibition of the wrong number in Jericho's race on Wednesday, and the omission of two of Sir Gilbert lleathcote's horses from the cards on the first day. With regard to the latter we should mention that Lord Exeter, whose horse ran second for one of them, the Ascot Derby, claimed the race on the ground that Brother to Valentissimo had been scratched. It turned out on investigation that omission arose from a misconception, and the judge's decision was confirmed. The racing yesterday came off as follows : Match, 100 h ft, Bst 71b each. T.Y.C. Duke of Bedford's Taurina received forfeit from Mr. Death's Camelia. Match, 300, h ft. Two miles. Lord Waterford's Wolfdog, Bst 71b (F. Butler) beat Lord G.

GRASS UNDER TREES.—By sowing nitrate of soda in small quantities in showery weather under trees, a most beautiful verdure will be obtained. I have used it under the beech tress in my grounds, and the grass always looks green. Having succeeded so well on a small scale, I have now sown nitrate of soda amongst the long grass in the plantations, which the cattle could never eat. I now find that the herbage is preferred to the other parts of the field, which have been snarled, and is very good pasture.—p'ardener's CY:ronick. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, JUNE 3.—Her Majesty's steamer Locust left port on Friday evening last, having on board Commander Graves, of her Majesty's surveying service, and the daughter of Rear- Admiral Curtis. The Locust proceeds to Girgenti, whence Captain Graves will proceed to visit Graham's Shoal, and ascertain, by soundings, if the late shocks of earthquake felt here have affected in any manner that curious volcanic bank. The Locust will also go to Salerno, and there ascertain the difference of longitude between that place and Malta, for which purposes she has been provided with tan chronometers by orderof Government. The brig Harlequin will proceed tomorrow to Corfu, where she is ordered to relieve the Orestes. The different packets and mail-boats have all arrived, and continued their several voyages to the places of their ilia mate destination. Two officers of this garrison, Lieut. Cockburn, of the 42d Regiment, and Lieut. Power, R.A., have been sentenced by Mr. Charles Harper, the sitting magistrate, to five days' imprisonment, for an assault committed by them on the Ist instant on a young man named Gergani, on leaving the Opera House on Monday last. The assault was most un called for and unjustifiable, and seems to have been caused by an old pique against the prosecutor. It is, however, pleasing to reflect that such events are of rare occurrence. On the arrival here yesterday of her Majesty's steamer Acheron from Marseilles, news of her Majesty's having given birth to a Princess reached us. His Excellency the Governor immediately ordered the royal standard to be hoisted at the Palace and the public offices, rand a royal salute was fired from Fort St. Angelo, the receiving-ship Ceylon, and her Majeaty's brig Harlequin. Dr. Vella, one of the magistrates of the judicial police, died on Sunday last, deeply and universally regretted. The death of Vice-Admiral Sir R. W. Otway, K.C.8., raises his heir, Mr. G. G. Otway, commanding her Majesty's steam-frigate Virago, to the baronetage. This gentlemen, who left Malta with the Admiral on the 24th ult., had not then received intelligence of his parent's decease. By reference to the naval intelligence received from London, we observe he has been superseded in the command of that beautiful steamer by Commander John Lunn, late of the Locust, and make no doubt but he has had his ! post rank given to him.

PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 11.—The Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, sailed this day at noon, to join the squadron of evolution, for which she carries dispatches ; also supernu meraries for the Hibernia, with Sir W. Parker on board, whom she expects to find off Cape St. Vincent. The Alfred, 50 ; Eurydice, 26, Captain Elliot; and the Contest, 12, were removed from the basin to-day to make room for the Nelson, 120, advanced ship, which will be undocked to-morrow. The Penelope, 22, steam frigate, will be docked on Mon day, to repair defects prior to re-commission. The Goodwill, navy lighter, Pledge, master, arrived yes terday, with stores from the eastern yards. Lieutenant John Imrie (1811) died this morning at his re sidence at Portsea. This gallant veteran was midshipman of the Robust, at Toulon, in 1793, Bridport's action, 1795, operations in Quiberon.bay, and defeat of Buortaparte's squa dron in Donegal-bay, in 1798 ; was mate of the Courageaux, in the action off Ferrel, and capture of the Marengo and Belle Poule ; and lieutenant of the Egmont, at the destruc tion of the French squadron, in the Gironde, in 1813. WooLwecH, JUNE 11.—The Recruit, a very handsome iron brig, was towed down the river yesterday by the Monkey steam-vessel from Blackwall to Woolwich, to be fitted for sea. The Porcupine steam-vessel, Captain Bullock, is expected to leave Woolwich on Monday next, to resume her surveying duties at Ramsgate. The Trinity tug-steam-vessel, which was on fire in the river last week, has been taken to the East India Company's dock at Blackwall to be repaired, and the whole of the in terior is quite charred. The preservation of any part of the vessel from the devouring element is attributed to the use of marine glue in paying her decks, while pitch would have melted, and added fuel to the flames, owing to its highly com bustible nature. Fifty-nine large guns have been ordered to be made ready at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, for Tilbury Fort; and it is in contemplation to enlarge that extensive depository for gunpowder to a considerable extent. Fifteen large guns have also been ordered to be got ready for Gravesend. These and other additions about to be made to fortify the river and various places on the coast will require a great number of artillerymen, and it is the general belief in this quarter that two additional companies will be added to the ten battalions in October next, to afford a sufficient number to be detached for service at these fortified places. Captain Lethbridge's company, sth battalion, embarked at 5 o'clock A.m. this morning, at Rofe's Wharf, Woolwich, for Nine-elms, en route to Portsmouth, to add to the strength of the Royal Artillery at that station. Captain Torrens had the command of the company.

THREE BROTHERS POISONED BY A SISTER.—The Wexford Independent of Wednesday states that an Friday last three brothers, named James, John, and Michael Cullen, residing at Kyle, died from the effects of arsenic which they had taken that morning in their breakfast. An inquest was held, and the jury returned the following verdict;—•' We find the deceased came by their deaths in consequence of having taken poison in stirabout, but how or by what means administered we are unable to say." On Tuesday, however, the mystery was cleared up by the confession of Mary Cullen, the unmarried sister of the unfortunate young men deceased, that she was the person who put the poison into the food by which they came by their deaths. Suspicion of her guilt having arisen, head constable Nicholson, and some of the police under his direction, proceeded from Wexford to make inquiry. In the mean time, George Le Hunt, Esq., J.P., and Samuel Tench, Esq., J P., were brought to the house to examine her. In reply to the questions put to her by the magis trates, in the presence of head constable Nicholson, she confessed that she had put the poison into the water in the pot, befbre the meal was put on to make the stirabout. She did so, she said, at a time when her mother had her back turned. She stated that she had procured poison twice for the purpose—first in last March, and again more recently. She had procured it on both occasions by saying she wanted it for the destruction of rata. The magistrates, having re ceived her confession, immediately made out her committal, and she was tbrthwith brought in custody to Wexford gaol, and fully com mitted to abide her trial at the nex assizes.

It was agreed that a communication should be made to the dock Committee, and also to Sir G. Clerk, who is about to bring in a Bill as to the regulation of steam-vessels.

ARRIVAL OF TROOPS FROM INDlA.—Yesterday even ing the following detachments of regiments serving in India arrived at the Invalid Depot, Fort Pitt, from Gravesend, where they dis embarked at the Custom-house-quay from the ship Neptune, 750 tons, Captain F err i s, consisting of 2 corporals and 14 privates of the 2d Queen's Royals; and 1 sergeant-major, seven sergeants, 3 cor porals, 2 drummers, 47 privates, with 3 women and 2 children, of the 17th Foot (the Royal Tigers); and i quartermaster-sergeant, 2 ser geants, and 16 privates of the 28th, with 2 women and 3 children; and 3 sergeants, 2 corporals, 1 drummer, and 40 privates of the 78th Highlanders, and 1 child. The troops were in command of Captain James Stirling of the 28th, and Lieutenant William Roberts and Lieutenant G. D. Robertson, both of the 28th. The latter officer is insane : he arrived in India last year with a detachment from Chatham, and the climate had such an effect on him that he went out of his mind. Lieutenant D. Hastings, of the 78th, came home with the troops.

J. L. EeLrorr, Esq., having taken the chair, stated that ~ the object of the Society was mainly to procure for the poor " the humane administration of the law, an object which was benevolent and most wo r th y o f the gentlemen who had taken it up. He said the right of the poor to relief was as well founded and clearly discerned as the rich man's right in _ property, and that a poor man when plunged into needy cir cumstances ought not to be left to beg as an alms what nature had given him a right to. For it to be otherwise . than this would be a disgrace to the country. If the iobject of the Society should be followed out with earnest perseverance, taking care that the poor received what he had a right to on the one hand, and on the other ttAs p aiu r onnc o ndch v eo i ho d t:b i t n jhite g i ihece o a tchs g ui, rg a scw% i h,u n aotm s s ttitslhutdt circumstances e poor man in any case overratin g his claims, the Society itflo i ca ‘ re ' o unfortunately exercise uu societylc i ( f a l tt eh b g le e yrc great alog3 m e a blessing to the nation. touroiopurli growing influence c and eb eint lesseningus. theet r e u n struggling g mt th l hei the the ameliora tion ri f i a o s. o f . great classes of the community, the rich and the poor. As for Westminster, he should not expect that the Society would require to exert its functions very severely in reference to the administration of the poor -law in that city, for he wished that an equal care at least were taken of the poor in other parishes. In that he spoke from his own experience as chairman of those who had the administration of the poor-law in Westminster in their hands, and at the same time he heartily concurred with the nature and objects of the Society. Mr. COCHRANE was then called on, and recounted the operations of the Society, an account of which has already t eel the t tivaotr workhouse there, but was refused unless his wife and daughter also .n i e n s t ta o in appeared la ry ie i b n o t n h e e a c p o p l l u i e m a n t s o o g f er admissionie.S' ztn came in. This he would not consent to, and after renewing his application without success,horrified at the idea of at length this time old a n d i n fi rm , wen t an d h an ged himself. Mr. C. becoming a burden on his wife and daughter as he was by then referred to the case of the woman Gardiner, who was ill used by Ann Lynch, and to that of Mary Jones and Mary Smith, who were assaulted by the officers in the union workhouse at Peckham. He added that seven or eight days ago a policeman and Mary Smith called on him and gave him a full statement of all that had occurred. She said that a relieving officer of the name of Evans gave her 3s. 6d., and said, "Now you leave London, and if you ever return you will be taken up and imprisoned three months for taking a bribe." This was stated at the Lambeth Police court. The case came onfnr re-hearing : go :the ..9tkinstantiii.: - __. and the result was, that it was remitted for trial - at the Sei- - -- - sions, the Society meaning to prosecute the case to the utmost. ' It gratified him to state further, that the officers of the Cam berwell workhouse, somewhat beyond their rules and regu lations, kindly offered to take the woman in and protect her till the ends of justice should be obtained. Lord DUDLEY STUART then rose to move the first resolu-. tion. His acquaintance with the Society was very slight, but he thought that, without any very laboured study or long cogitation, its objects would commend themselves as worthy of public attention. But its great object was to enable the poor man to obtain his rights, and that he thought was one of the noblest that could be offered to a meeting of English men. The new poor-law was, no doubt, an improvement on the old one, but under it he had too good reason to believe that many grievances existed. It was gratifying on that account that a , society of individuals should unite, not so much to support the poor by contributions of money, as to enable them to gain those rights which were acknowledged by the law of the land. There were good points, he thought, in the present poor-law, many good ' points but he was aware that it was avo id e d i n many instances by mal-administration and by the ignorance and cruelty of officers. To protect the poor then against these unjust deprivations of their rights this Society existed, and therefore he was happy to give it all the aid he could ; and knowing that it could not be carried on without means, espe cially at first, he would very gladly subscribe N. His Lord ship added 21., a donation fruits Mr. Frederick Pigou, and stated that Mr. Pigou, a great friend of humanity and the poor, was only p revente d b y il l health frem being personally present at the meeting, for be had warmly commended it to his Lordship's attention. His Lordship concluded with moving— " That this meeting agrees with the resolution passed at a public meeting of our fellow-citizens, that the poor ought to be relieved in the spirit of kindness, more especially when they have for years been usefully employed in the parish to which they are compelled, from infirmity or old age, to apply in the hour of necessity." Mr. J. S. BUCKINGHAM seconded the resolution, which was put to the rnecting, ,and carried unanimously. Mr. GEORGE WILSON, one of the governors of the poor in Westminster, moved the second resolution. He said he sup ported the Society because he thought the deserving but neglected poor should have a refuge and an opportunity of appeal. He hoped the Society would not confine its exer tions to cases in which the relief allowed by the law was re fused, but extend them to those in which part of the popula tion were lowered in the scale of being by the neglect and improper conduct of those who ought to exalt them. He concluded by moving— " That, from the impossibility of the poor and destitute obtaining for themselves any redress against neglect or wil fulness from the officers or others appointed to dispense the existing laws, this meeting deems the establishment of the Poor Man's Guardian Society a benevolent and useful work in the cause of humanity, and worthy of our co-operation and individual support." Mr. BURNS seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Lord RANELAGH moved— " That all persons present disposed to unite and subscribe in aid of the objects of this Society enrol their names as members this evening." Some other gentleman addressed the meeting, which, after passing a vote of thanks to the chairman, broke up.
