TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, 1846. The Coroner's inquest on the unfortunate soldier 'HITE has concluded its labours —the juryhave is- d arged their duty in a manner alike honourable to maselves and beneficial to the community. I t was sir constitutional privilege to declare by their ver .l the cause which led to the death of the person ;Feting whom they were impanelled, and also to press their opinion of the injurious tendency o f y practice which, although not illegal per se, :ght yet lead to injurious and fatal results. They ve spoken out manfully and nobly—they have re •rded their own deliberate and solemn convictions on e subject, and have called upon the British people join heart and hand for the purpose of removing e stain and disgrace inflicted on them by vile a practice being sanctioned in their country. ne following is a copy of the verdict of the jury, Mal should be circulated through all parts of the ogdorn, to which every man of feeling and hu snity should take every possible means of giving 2blieitY in his own immediate neighbourhood, , that there would not, within a few short s _41.6,12 0 s / 0, f: a ..l:br ai e n a sll ionfdivitdhe l individual throughout the and who would 1t be made acquainted with the finding of a con r_ lentious jury; given under the obligation of an oath, I r ( • bay, often'," to him an opportunity of comply - - fig with tha weal thereby made, and recording Si! 3 tir his protest against the atrocious system, and his prayer for its abolition, viz.:— the happiness and prosperity of Ireland, but would stabilitate to an eminent degree the happiness, the prosperity, the security, the tranquility, and the more extended civilisation of the millions who are bound together in allegiance to the sceptre of VICTORIA. Not only is this comprehensive and liberal reform demanded in justice, not only are we called upon to make such a reparation for wrongs heaped upon a confiding and deluded race ever since the act of legislative union passed by the Imperial Parliament at the commencement of the present century—but our own self-interest, our own aggrandizement, our own peace of mind, plead for the alteration in voices that cannot brook a denial. A similar rumour was current on the same day at Rouen. It is generally considered that these rumours, which produced most disastrous effects en the markets, originated in persons connected with the Bourse, who had some stockjobbing purposes to serve by their propagation. - "The jury do say that Frederick John White died on the 11th of July, 1846, from the mortal effects of the severe and cruel flogging which he received on the 15th day of June, in the Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow; that the same flogging was inflicted on him under sentence passed by a district court-martial composed of officers of the Regiment of the 7th Hussars, and duly constituted for the trial of the said Frederick John White, &c. And on returning the verdict, the jury cannot refrain from expressing their horror and disgust at any law among the statutes or regulations of this realm which permits the revolting punish ment of flogging to be inflicted on British soldiers ; and at the same time the jury would call upon every man in this kingdom to join heart and hand in sending petitions to the British Legislature praying for the abolition of every law and regulation which permits the degrading practice of flogging to remain one moment a slur on the humanity ani [ fair name of the people of this country." The jury manifestly could not have returned verdict inculpating any of the military authorities. The law itself which sanctions the frightful barbarit3 I is the target against which the weapon must be directed. Everything was done strictly according to rule and to precedent. The court-martial was regularly constituted, although it is certainly rather a curious circumstance that, being'a district court-mar tial, every single member of it belonged to the same regiment as the prisoner himself, and it might as well have been called a regimental court-martial, but for one little point of difference, viz., that by being dignified, with the title of " district," although really " regimental," they were enabled to order the infliction of fifty lashes more than would otherwise have been within their power to adjudge ; a privilege of which they availed them selves to the utmost extent, and which the merciful Colonel WHYTE took care should be most punctually inflicted without curtailment or diminution. The un fortunate man pleaded guilty to the charges on which I he was arraigned before this court, he attempted not to deny his offence, but he put in a respectful and manly letter, written in a style far beyond that which could have been expected from a private soldier, and which, as well as the letter to his brother, bears the clearest testimony that his education and habits of life belonged to a class far beyond that in which his wretched career was brought to a premature termination. This at tempted extenuation, although we venture to say that it would not have been lost on any of our venerable Judges, was wholly without effect on his judges, who forthwith sentenced him to the very highest punishment within their power, and added to their finding a clause wholly unneces sary, and we believe unusual—one which must have had the effect of preventing any exercise of mercy on the part of the Commander-in• Chief—we mean that part which speaks of the conduct of the unhappy man, in these words :—" And taking into consideration his general bad character, particularly towards his superiors, does now sentence him," &c., &c. We know not what may have been the evidence laid before the court to warrant this addition to their verdict, but it is most undoubtedly at variance with that which was adduced before the Coroner's inquest. Sergeant DARLEY himself, the person who had been assaulted by WRITE, gave his opinion that " he was a man that knew himself very well, and in fact, a superior and respectable man, by no means an habi tual drunkard." Now, if this evidence be correct, and we see no reason to doubt its being so to the fullest extent--indeed, it was corroborated by that of all the other witnesses who were interrogated on the point, we think it is due to the surviving relatives of the victim—nay, more, we think it due to the characters of the officers who constituted that court martial—that the grounds which led to that clause in their finding should be fully stated and set forth. The letter of poor, unhappy, heart-broken WrnTE to his brother, written ten days after the flogging, shows that his mind was more lacerated than his body ; it testifies the existence of that . wretched, de sponding, spiritless state which almost every writer has stated to be the result of corporal punishment, leading to the adoption of habits of intoxication lnd recklessness, the total abandonment of every hope —nay, of every desire for advancement in the service ; it speaks trumpet-tongued against a system which could induce such a state of feeling. The most eloquent and powerful denouncer of the practice could not write with half the effect which is pro duced by the few simple sentences of the lashed soldier speaking unconsciously of the sensa tion his confidential communication to his brother was likely to produce at a future period ; he says, " I am very unwell, and feel disgusted with the service, but you need not tell mother so, for she would only fret." Again : " I had formed a reso lution to commit mischief, but, thank GOD, I have for the present altered my mind. I have not that con fidence in myself I used to have. My star of destiny frowns at me, and everything goes wrong. Your letters give me a consolation generally, but I cannot venture to read them always, for I am very near approaching to LUNACY at times. I am an old man now to what I was, and what a few more years will make me I am afraid to guess it. Poor creature ! a few short days had indeed prcduced a fearful change in his feelings and prospects, and the pouring forth of his heart necessarily recorded the - gloomy forebodings which he must have felt. The want of interest, that hopelessness of feeling which nothing can for a moment excite or banish, is well expressed in the following :—" I have not seen Lon don yet, nor shall I, unless I change my mind. Every one there is lost to me now." Again : " I hope you will keep quiet to mother that I am ill, for her sake. You must excuse my faults, and forgive my failings, for I cannot help them ;fate wills my proceedings, and I must go with the tide. My paper is short, and I must cut short my tale of woe, and resume my most horrid and wretched duty of a soldier." Poor fellow 1 his sufferings, both of mind and body, have been, indeed, most frightful; but few, by their deaths, . will have achieved so great a benefit to thousands. It cannot be doubted but that the appeal of the jury will be fully re sponded to ; neither can there be a doubt of the happy issue of the agitation and petitions there indicated; but we sincerely trust that the public will riot restrict themselves to its abolition in the army. Let our naval brethren also have the benefit of their exertions—their prayers ; and let not the unfortunate JAMES SAYER be forgotten, who now pines in anguish, awaiting the infliction of his sentence of death, death certainly in a milder form—the more humane naval court-martial having merely ordered him to be hanged for striking his sergeant, by which his suffer ings will be more speedily terminated than if he were sentenced to the lingering and painful, intensely pain ful, death under the still more degrading lash. The Chancellor of France has convened the Cham ber of Peers for Friday, the 7th August, to take the necessary preliminary steps to forming itself into a Court for the trial of HENRY.

NertP since the revolt of the Roman Plebeians did the ancient fable of the body and its members afford such an analogous application to the government of a country than at this juncture, and in reference to Ireland. What was applied to the illustration of the necessity of unanimity among the various classes in the eternal city might, with a similar appositeness, be applied to the illustration of the necessity for the unanimity, among the various divisions of the British dominions, the limbs of the British empire. Without a cordial reciprocity between those limbs, without the most impartial regard to the moral and corporeal health of all, the entire constitution cannot avoid falling into a lamentable state of disorganization. The func tions would become deranged, and either an unnatural sluggishness, or an unnatural excitement, be the con sequence. To the source of the vitality and the seat of the presiding sentience of the con stitution—in other words, to the Parliamentary and Government officers we look for the removal of whatever maladies have already appeared, and for the accurate adjustment of all differences. Ireland still continues to be the great Ministerial difficulty, but under the guidance of an enlightened policy. and impelled forward by the accordance of popular opinion, we are sanguine that this great diffi culty is now on the eve of being definitely and per manently vanquished. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO DRURY-LANE THEATRE.— We understand that it is the intention of her Majesty to honour the performances of the Brussels operatic company, at Drury-lane Theatre, with her presence this evening. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Earl of SUFFOLK, and the Bishop of Dunaux.) BOWEN V. EVANS AND OTHERS. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the decree of Sir Edward Sugden, the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, occupied their Lordships the whole day. The case has already taken up several days in argument, and appears likely to last a day or two more. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacHELL.) PARKER V. SPELLER. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 11/. 03. 6d., for work done by the plaintiff as a surveyor. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant had entered into a contract to build a crescent at Westbourne-green, and the plaintiff was engaged to draw out the plans, but it was alleged that Mr. Wood, who was the owner of the land, had promised to make a present of the plans, but after some time, defendant finding himself unable to carry out the speculation, he forfeited 2001., and gave it up, and he now denied having employed the plaintiff. Mr. Woad, however, positively swore that he introduced the parties, and after the action was brought he told defendant that he thought him very foolish to go on, as his (witness's) evidence would put him out of Court, and defendant replied that he had told his attorney to stop the proceedings; but they said the greater part of the costs had been incurred, and they would go on on their own responsibility. The UNDER-SHERIFF said, that if they believed Mr. Wood the case was clearly made out. The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Thanks to Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, we are enabled to form some estimate of the intentions of the present Administration with reference to Ireland. In answer to the inquiries of the Hon. Member for Rochdale, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has revealed the resolutions on this most important subject at which he has arrived, after mature deliberation. Con sidering the miseries which will transpire meanwhile, through the postponement of any Parliamentary measure for the protection of the interests of the Irish tenantry, we are deeply grieved to find that the Premier objects to the intro duction of some temporary measures; but we are re joiced at the delay, considering the yet greater evils which might possibly arise from the precipitate adop tion of any assuaging enactments. " Why fly front ills we hare, To others we know not of ?" Nevertheless, for our solace during this requisite in terval, the Prime Minister has pledged himself to in troduce a Bill relating to the landlord and tenant interests of Ireland "at the very commencement of the next session." And, according to the announce ment of Mr. LABOUCHERE, it was likewise the inten tion of her MAJESTY'S Ministers to struggle for the adoption of six other Bills, relating to the exclusive privilege of trading, to the rating of property, to ejectments, fisheries, district lunatic asylums, and the encouragement of public baths and washhouses in Ireland. Nothing, of course, can be expected in the miserable remnant (of scarcely three weeks) which yet remains of the eventful session of 1846. With such a programme, however, as the foregoing, we may safely anticipate the arrival of brighter days fur Ireland, and the prevention of all further squabbles among the adherents of her veteran Liberator. The King of the Two SICILIES, accompanied by the Royal Family and a numerous suite, and guarded by a squadron of eleven ships-of- war, arrived at Palermo on the morning of the 11th ult., to be present at the fete of St. Rosalie. His MAJESTY, following the ex ample of the PoPE, has dissolved the Military Com mission for the trial of State prisoners. The Assembly of States of Holstein, in their sit ting of the 24th of July, adopted by a majority of 44 to 2 an address to the King of DENMARK protesting against his letter patent of the Bth July on the sub ject of the succession to the Throne. The Govern ment, in opening the States, forbade them to receive petitions on this subject, and the States also protest against this interference with the right of petition. Letters from Vienna of the 20th of July state that the Austrian Government intends forming a line of railway from Milan through the Tyrol to the Danube, which will be continued across the valleys of the Etch and the Inn, and will terminate at Braunau. This will give the advantage of railway communication to the three principal towns of the Tyrol—Trent, Botzen, and Innspruck. North British Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have been received. The .co del Comercio of the preceding day had been seized by the authorities. According to the _Herald°, IBRAHIM PACUA was expected to visit Malaga. The Governor of Gibraltar and his suite paid a visit to Ceuta on the 17th. There was a report in Madrid that, in conse quence of the representations of the Portuguese Government, GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled from Lisbon. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 28.—The Three per Cents. 34 34 1 , for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 21% 3 / 4 for cash; Debt without Interest at 6%. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. They are filled with the details of the preliminary operations of the elections, such as the choosing scru tineers, assessors, &c., which took place on Saturday. The elections took place on Sunday, and, as far as can be hitherto ascertained, the result has been favourable to the Ministry. The Opposition made strenuous efforts to carry the first electoral college in Paris. Their candidate was General LAMORICIERE, whose successes in Algiers have rendered him exceedingly popular. He is about to be connected by marriage with the family of M. THIERS ; and M. ODILLON BARROT published an address to the electors, strongly recommending them to choose General LAMORICIERE. Notwithstanding all the influence thus used notwithstanding the pres tige attached to his name, General LA MORICIERE has been defeated by M. CASI MIR PERIER, the Ministerial candidate. In Paris the Ministers have gained one seat from the Op position, and in the country, as far as the results are known, they have been equally successful. M. GRAS DE NEVILLE, the Father of the Chamber, a Legitimist has been ousted at Tarrascon by M. GASPARIN, a Ministerialist. At Nismes, M. BICHARD, a Legitimist, is replaced by General FEUCILERES, a Ministerialist. Both these are Ministerial gains. The Ministry gains two votes at Toulouse. In the third college of that city a Ministerialist replaces an opposition Deputy without a contest, and the first college the mayor of the town, a Minis terialist, has beat M. JOLT, one of the leaders of the Republican party, who was the former Deputy. At Cherbourg, General MESLIN, a Ministerialist, replaces the old Opposition Deputy, and in the third college of Lille a Ministerialist has gained the seat, which for merly belonged to the Opposition. The Ministers also gain a vote at Douay and another at Dieppe, while at Orsen, M. SALVANDY, the Minister of Public Instruc tion, has defeated M.D upois T DE L'EURE, the celebrated Opposition leader. The results of 74 elections were known in Paris when the latest accounts left. In these elections the Ministerial gain has been nine seats. Ministerialists have replaced Opposition De puties in ten instances, while in one instance only (at Rouen) has an Opposition candidate ousted the former Ministerial Member. The re-elections have been 36 Ministerialists and 27 Deputies of the Opposition. On Saturday considerable alarm was created in Paris by rumours of the death of the lima. Accord ing to one account his MAJESTY had had a fit of apoplexy ; according to another he had been fired at and wounded, and the Due D'AUMALE had been killed at his side. A delay in the publica tion of the Ministerial evening paper, the Messager, contributed to increase the excite ment, as it was considered confirmatory of the truth of the rumours. At length, however, it ap peared, and contained the following telegraphic dis patch, for the arrival of which it bad probably been delayed :—" A telegraphic dispatch from Eu, dated this day, half-past two o'clock, announces that the KING was in perfect health. His MAJESTY expected the visit of the Prince Royal of BAYASIA at three o'clticic.' Government has explicitly divulged its intentions with reference to Irish legislation. We are sincerely rejoiced at this circumstance, as the explanation of the Premier and the Secretary for Ireland will be productive of very considerable advantage to the population of these islands. It will alleviate that hope deferred which maketh the heart sick among our fellow-countrymen across St. George's Channel ; it will allay a thousand anxieties in their regard among the other inhabitants of Great Britain, and it will impart stability to the new Administration on a matter with which the popularity of the Cabinet is most inextricably associated. If one sentiment is at this moment more prevalent than another throughout this empire, it is a sentiment of cordial sympathy with Irish sufferings, a sentiment of honest indignation at her protracted misrule, a sentiment of earnest anxiety to co- operate with her leading patriots in the adjustment of her embarrassments and in the organisation of her social and political machinery.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. __ _ The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was active, the principal sales being to the trade. Sales, about 10,000 bales.—Shares were steady. So serious have been the losses sustained by the market gardeners and florists by the late storm, that, without some extraneous aid, hundreds of industrious, and in their pro fession, able men, must be consigned to ruin. Not only have a large number of the parties so situated lost glass, but their valuable plants have, in the great majority of in stances, been entirely destroyed. A number of influential persons in the southern parts of London (where the storm proved most disastrous) have taken the subject up, and a meeting has been convened to consider the best course to be pursued to relieve the sufferers, which is appointed to be held this evening at the Swan Hotel, at Stockwell. There has been some attention directed in theßankers'Aliaga aiiie to the convenience of bankers' drafts as substitutes for Post-office orders. Jealous, and not, perhaps, without reason, of the extraordinary increase in the amount of Post-office orders granted, the private bankers have been, in some cases, turn ing their attention to the matter with a view to ascertain if they cannot participate in the profits. At best, however, the public could never by such means possess a e same faci lities as under the almost universal system brought to bear under the peculiar agency of the Post-office. For particular localities, however, and for amounts above those which the Post-office will grant in one order, no doubt the provincial bankers can make themselves very useful, and perhaps at the same time enhance their their own profits a little. It is suggested that a party wishing to send 15/. 2s. 6d. from Derby to Beccles, might be accommcdated in the subjoined form, which could be used as a remittance by the Beccles ba , k to Glyn and Co., who would fill up the draught : " No. "Derby, July 18, 1846.

Glyn and Co. with fifteen pounds two shillings and sixpence, which charge to account of your obedient servants, " £l5 2s. 6d. " W. and S. EVANS. (Crossed) " Messrs. Lacon and Co., Beccles."

The charge of % per cent, for the letter, and % for castling, the credit would, it is said, be sufficient remuneration to the banker, and to their customers no charge need be made. The Stock Market, although rather dull, continues very firm, and the only security which at present exhibits any weakness is Exchequer-bills, the premium being down to lls. and is.

Michael Dempsey, an Irishman, was charged by, police sergeant Matthews, F 10, with being drunk and dkorderly in Holborn. The sergeant stated that he found the prisoner drunk on his beat in Holborn, and proceeded to take him into custody. The prisoner resisted violently, but with the assistance of another constable he took him to the station. The prisoner said he could bring conclusive evidence to show that he "didn't assault or insult the policeman at all, at all," but that the latter attacked him most unwarrantably, and that he did not make any resistance. The witness who was to give this "conclusive evidence" then came forward, and said that he saw the prisoner and his wife fighting a day or two ago, and that he thought the wife was altogether in the wrong. Mr. JARDINE—But what do you know about what occurred last night ? Witness—Last night, is it, sir ? Faith, I know nothing at all about it, sir, not the laste! But I was present when the row was with him and his wife. The inspector here explained to the magistrate that then - . was a warrant against the prisoner for an assault on his wife, and that it was in reference to this statement the wit ness was prepared to give evidence. Mr. JARDOTE—Your conclusive evidence does not much avail you. However, as this is your first offence, and the assault is not a very serious one, I will discharge you this time; if you do anything of the same kind again I will fine you. The prisoner's wife then appeared in Court and withdrew the warrant, on his paying the costs, and promising " not to whop her any more." - - - - - - - PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS (From the Votcs and Proceedings of the House of Common MONDAY, AUGUST 3.

THE BATHS AND WASIIHOUSES IN THE HAMPSTEAD ROAD.—Th e " North-West District Baths and Wash houses for the Labouring Classes," which have lately been erected at the base of the Reservoir, in the Hampstead road, were yesterday opened to the public. They were opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and were full from that time till 9at night, when they were closed. A crowd of men and boys were in waiting the whole of 'the day at the men's entrance in George-street, it being found impossible to give them all accommodation as they arrived. Upwards of 600 persons had use of the men's baths. The women's baths and washhouses were also filled, but not to the same extent as the men's baths. The plunging baths would have been in use but for a leakage, which was not discovered in time to be repaired. They will be in use as soon as they can be re p iired. The baths were opened this morning at 5 o'clock, and from that time up to the time our informant left the spot they were crowded, and a number of persons remained outside, waiting till room should be made for them. The washhouses were also in full operation. It was necessary yesterday, in order to accommodate the crowds that at tended, to use some of the second-class baths as third-class. MIDDLE-ROW, Homionx.—Several correspondents have addressed letters to U 3 on the very bad condition of all the houses of Middle-row, as well as of the two that fell down the night before last. They state that for a considerable period it has been expected that all Middle-row would be pulled down, as it stands much in the way, and that conse quently needful repairs have not been executed. The two houses fell from decay, and the other houses, we are told, are likely soon to follow. Our correspondents complain much of the improvement commissioners for not having bef , re now purchased and removed the whole unsightly row. EAST LONDON WATERWORKS COMPANY.—The Directors of this Company have given orders to allow water from their pipes to flow for the present through close and confined alleys and courts, for the purpose of cleansing them, between the hours of eleven P.M. and four A.M., and have, through their secretary, informed the parish authorities of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Norton Folgate, Mile.eud Old Town, St. George in the East, Limehouse, Wapping. Mile end New Town, Ratcliffe, Shadwell, Poplar, Hackney, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal-green, and Shoreditch, of this arrange ment, stating at the same time that the Company's officers have been instructed to afford all practicable facilities in furtherance of the object in view—promoting cleanliness, and assisting to prevent disease. This arrangement has been made without any application having been addressed to the Board on the subject, and affords an example which we trust will be followed by all the other great metropolitan companies.

My Lord,—lt is reported in The Sun that, in the debate on the 'Sugar Duties on Friday last, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer made the following statement : "The request made to him" (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) "by the West Indians was, that as all protection was to be withdrawn from them, there ought not to be any protection against them. On this he, the Chancellor elite Exchequer, asked them to draw up a statement of what re strictions there were opposed to their interests that they wished removed, and the grounds ou which such removal should take place." Now, this has been the first intimation of such a request having been made, that I have received, and I at once close with so reasonable a proposition. As far as British Guiana is concerned, I joyfully accept the invitation ! Be it my duty, then, to draw up the statement, craving but enough time to enable me to wade through extraneous matter surrounding the few clear points, sufficing to develope the cruel and unjust, and publicly and religiously oppressive po sition of our present industrial restrictions. With a redoubled sense of gratification do I grapple with my task, because when advocating facts in the strictest ac cordance with the liberal principles of free-trade, now so widely established by the Government, I am in my heart convinced that I propose for adoption the sole untried and certain means of effectually crushing the traffic in human flesh and blood ! That which I will suggest as absolutely necessary to be done in " removal of restrictions opposed to the West Indian interest," I pledge myself shall be well within the rules of reformation, and by it the Government will have an oppor tunity of applying some correction at least to the poisonous boon, however circumstantially imperious, bestowed upon the slaver by the free admission into our market of his stolen goods. Your Government, my Lord, has yet the path before them in which to place the honest, obedient, and conscientious planter, or British subject, on a footing as equal in the market of the world as his moral station is superior to that of the irreligious thief, or rifler of human energies. With as little delay as possible, I undertake to lay before the Government and the country a " statement of the re strictions opposed to the West India interests" in British Guiana, upon the removal of which the life of the colony depends. I have the honour to be Your most obedient, humble servant, GRANTLEY F. BERKELEY. Bet keley House, Aug. 2,1846. COURT CIRC U LAR.

THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Last evening lialevy's comic opera, Les Mousquetaires de la Reine, was produced by the Brussels company. The music is light and agreeable, although not very striking, and is what much of Halevy's music is not—dramatic. The plot is taken from the well-known tale by Alexander Dumas. The opera was well but not enthusiastically received. ST. JAMES'S Mademoiselle Rachel re-appeared here last evening, for the first time since her recent indisposition, as Roxane, rn Ravine's tragedy of Bajazet. This character has always struck us as the most revolting and unnatural that Ravine ever drew. The supub acting of Rachel, however, over comes all difficulties, and every other feeling is lost in that of intense admiration of her genius. The house was crowded ROYAL VISIT TO VAUXHALL.

Alter witnessing the equestrianism by Tourniaire s troupe, the royal party promenaded the gardens, admiring the brilliancy of the illuminations and the new and appn , priate devices displayed on the occasion. They after wards retired to the Waterloo•ground, where a magnificent display of fireworks were exhibited by the celebrated Darby, artiste to the gardens, the piece de resistance being an em blematical design, in the centre of which was the motto, " God bless the Royal Family of England," in brilliant co loured fires The royal visitors, after expressing their admiration of the entire arrangements (prepared at a few hours' notice), retired front the gardens at about half-past twelve o'clock.

Such varied attractions cannot fail to draw a crowded house. HAYMARRET THEATRE.—MR. J. M. STEPHENS'S BENEFIT —The superintendent of the free-list, Mr. J. M. Stephens, takes his benefit at the Haymarket on Wednesday evening. The bill of fare is a good one, but even were it less excellent the friends of Mr. Stephens (and every one who knows him is his friend) would rally round him on this occa sion. If a strict attention to duty, combined with uniform civility and kind-heartedness, are worthy of the public pa tronage, then will Mr. Stephens have a bumper house.

Now, as then, a. (a transports us to the regions of the unknown ; v est certain guide) brines us back laden with the splendid discoveries. On the 13th of WY , 1 Herschel was examining the little stars in the vicinitY (. i) Gemini ; one of these stars appeared to him to hav t . an unaccustomed diameter ; he made it out a comet. Scarcely was the discovery of Mr. Herschel made know f t he when the sevens h as t ene d t o co mp a re the positfon n new star with that of the fixed stars surroure iing . to They sought, thus, to determine the curve according I, which its displacement was effected.

The hypothesis that there ex of planets more remote from the sun than those we sir e , know, is not new.
