HAMBURG AND FLANDERS MAIL HAMBURG, JUNE 25.—The latest accounts received from St. Petersburg, dated the 19th of this month, state that on that day the modifications in the tariff, which have been for some time announced from different quarters, were published and immediately carried into effect. It is to be hoped that this breach in the pro hibitive system will soon be followed by further steps in the course of commercial reform, and that Russia too will by degrees relieve itself from restrictions on com merce and industry, which reader any solid improvement of the national welfare impossible. CRICow, JUNE 17.—1 t appears that the fate of the republic of Cracow is decided. The new government is to consist of three directors, of whom each of the three protecting powers appoints one. We are to have, on the part of Austria, as we hear, Mr. John Schindler, for merly president ; from Russia, Mr. John Mieroszewski, formerly director of the police ; from Prussia, the senator Victor Kopff. STOCKHOLM, JUNE 19.—The King will leave this city on the 27th of this month, (to which day Count Posse, Minister of Justice, has leave of absence). His Majesty will appoint a regency, of which Baron Thu, Minister of Foreign Affairs, will be president. Perhaps Count Posse will accompany the King to Schonen, and afterwards to Copenhagen.—Hamburg papers, June 26. BRUSSELS, JUNE 25.—Among the reports presented to the Chamber at the commencement of the sitting to day, there was one brought up by Mr. Zonde on several pe titions relative to the iron railway from Ghent to Brussels by way of Alost. The debate was opened on the report of the Minister of Public Works on the railway from Ghent to Brussels. The discussion was very ani mated. Messrs. Forbecq and Scheyven were against the construction of a railway from Ghent to Brussels, which they affirmed would be prejudicial to the treasury. The Minister of Public Works proposed a commission of inquiry, in which the interests of all parties would be considered, and according to the result of which he might present a project; of law, drawn up with perfect knowledge of the matter, and in which the conflicting pretensions of different localities might be conciliated as far as possible, if the i nq uiry should demonstrate the utility of the proposed railway. After a warm debate, the Minister of Public Works having declared that an inquiry should be instituted, the discussion was closed. Bausszts, JUNE 26.—The Chamber in its sitting to day fixed Tuesday next for the opening of the discussion of the project of law relative to the convention with France, and then proceeded to the debate on the project of law respecting colonial and beetroot sugar, which was agreed to by a majority of 49 to 20. His Majesty has accepted M. do Broucker's resignation of the office of Governor of the Province of Liege. There has been a very serious disturbance in the town of Nieupont, in consequence of some disagreement between the inhabitants and the officers of the garrison, in which some persons were wounded by the soldiers ; a strict investigation will take place. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 10.—According to the latest accounts from Rumelia, the Sultan was on his return to Varna, from which place he is expected at the beginning of next month. There has been another fire at Smyrna, by which about 500 houses and warehouses have been reduced to ashes. ICELAND.—The eruption of Mount Hecla still continued, according to the latest account, of the 15th of April. The pillars of fire arose from three new craters to the height of 14,000 English feet, and were broader than the largest river in the island, the Pierssen. The lava has already formed several high hills ; pieces of pummico stone, or scoroe, weighing 2 cwt., were thrown to the distance of a league and a half. The ice and snow, which covered the mountain for many centuries, are wholly melted, and the river Rangen has in consequence fre quently overflowed its banks. AMERICAN PAPERS. LATEST COMMERCIAL NEWS. NEW Yonrt, JUNE 15.—Although it is but a few days since the sailing of the steamer, yet there is a decided change in the business prospects and feelings of the community, and the moneyed concerns of the city and country. The friendly and pacific overture made through the British Ministry, and the prompt and decided acceptance by the Senate of the same, have put a different complexion on every thing. There is no longer any doubt resting in the commu nity that the negotiations will be prosecuted to a speedy and pacific termination. By this settlement all doubtful and suspended questions with Great Britain are closed up and finished—a state of peace and the most amicable relations, it is believed, will exist and be perpetuated between the two greatest maritime countries for a long period of time. It is believed that the war with Mexico must soon terminate. Singly and alone, without the aid and countenance of any foreign nation, Mexico cannot, in its present weak state, con tinue a contest that must be fatal to its interests. The settlement of this question has had a most favourable influence on stocks of every description ; most of the rail roads have gone up from five to ten per cent., and some even more. State and Government have all improved,and are better—nor is the present rise deemed to be all that will take place; as confidence becomes more restored, and as busi ness increases, they will gradually go up higher. The money market has suddenly become quite easy, and the banks are discounting again with freedom. Four and six months' paper is readils.taken, both in and out of the street. There is good reason for increased facility, and a more abundant state of the money market. For some months all classes of business men have been contracting their debts; all the tendencies of trade have been to draw in, until the banks and capitalists have a large amount of funds on hand remaining idle. As confidence increases, and prospects brighten, there will be a renewed disposition to invest and employ the money. A Large amount of specie has been drawn for to be re mitted south, to meet the large expenditures of the Govern ment; and exchange has been against us in this direction. As, however, the specie still remains in the country, and as the current of trade will soon turn it back again, it has had no influence on the market. Foreigh exchange, particularly that on England, continues to rule in our favour. Sterling bills are most abundant, at 8 to Si per cent., which is at least 1 per cent. in our favour. So long as this state of things continues, specie, instead of going out, will come into the country. That the exchange will continue, for at least a short time, in our favour, is probable. There has not been much disposi tion to order any large supplies from abroad. Our political relations have been so unsettled with England—together with the war with Mexico and the unsettled state of the tariff—it will still be some weeks before the determination of Congress can be known in reference to the latter ; and it is not probable that many goods will be ordered before all these matters are in a better train than at present. Produce of all descriptions has fallen very low, but parti cularly flour and wheat—the two last have touched a point seldom reached. The demand for flour for the European market has become very limited. But the demand for corn and rye has not diminished. Both these, of a suitable description for the market, are taken readily for export to England. Freights have improved, and vessels are in request. All British and other vessels arriving here with passengers meet with ready demand and quick dispatch. It is very early in the season to determine what the con dition of the crops will be. In some sections of the south some complaints are made of injury done to wheat ; but the accounts from the great wheat-growing districts of the west are most cheering and favourable. The crop of cotton last season has proved, although large. to be short of that of the previous year. The culture of this great staple has kept pace with the increased consumption in Europe. For merly a million of bales, and even a less quantity, was con sidered a great yield. Now two millions of bales are required to meet the demand' the plants are now started, and it is altogether too early to make any prediction. There is an abundant time yet for the insect, drought, or freshets, to affect the growth. The weather, generally, se far through our extensive country, has been favtairable for all other crops, and from present appearances there will be an abun dant yield. Operators in flour have been kept in suspense, to learn the fate of the Corn question in the British Parliament. The admission of our bread stuffs at a nominal duty would tend materially to sustain prices, and probably to increase our exports. The sales of cotton on Saturday summed up 4,000 bales. To-day the market is quiet, dealers not yet having had an opportunity to digest the news per the Great Western. TLe market on Saturday evening closed firm at 4 dole. 12i cents. for Michigan, and 4 dole. 25 cents. for Genessee flour. Since the arrival of the steamer the market is un settled, and holders are looking for higher prices. No sales are reported. Mess pork is held at 10 dols. 7.5 cents., and prime at 8 dole. Beef at 6 dole. 50 cents. to 7 dols. for city and country mess; prime 4 dole. 75 cents. There is rather a good feeling in the market, but we hear of no sales of importance. CANADA. On the loth instant the two Houses of the Provincial Parliament wer e prorogued by his Excellency the hi s Excellency's sp eeoii,_ral in the usual form. Th e foll ow ing is Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Gentlemen of the Legislativ, 3 Council, and "At this advanced period t x h e „,, a4o u n k I could scarcely rt, have entertained any reasonable e_ ii)eenction that the presente Al" session of Parliament could be sittlic tiy pr0i0n . . 4 ,, t0 you to dispose of the various measuressuhrntt he duet th e deliberation with the attentive consideration highly-important interests which manyoef thleehmoriinovmsolvdedulies Your indefatigable attention to th which have been imposed upon you has, however, enabled you to consider and to perfect the business w ith which you have been occupied in a mauncr that, while it affords gr fying evidence of the cordial and united efforts of the several branches of the Legislature, will, I have no doubt , pro" highly beneficial to the best interests of the province. " Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly, " I thank you in the name of her Majesty for the liberality with which you have provided the necessary supplies, which shall be expended with the utmost economy consistent with the efficiency of the public service. " I shall immediately take the necessary measures for raising the loans authorised by you, for the prosecution and speedy completion of the public works. " Honourable Gentlemen of the Legislative Council, and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly, " The truly loyal and patriotic spirit in which you have passed the Militia Bill claims my warmest acknowledgments, and proves how confidently our gracious Sovereign may al ways rely upon the attachment of her Canadian subjects, and the promptitude and energy with which they would at all times be ready, should circumstances require it, to come for ward in defence of their country, and in support of their con nexion with the parent state. " I have had the satisfaction of assenting, in the Queen's name, to the greater part of the enactments which you have passed. " In regard to the Bills which have been reserved for the decision of her Majesty's Government, that course has in each case been required by imperative reasons, over which I could exercise no control. " The several addresses which you have voted to the Queen have been duly forwarded through the proper department to be isid at the foot of the throne. "In returning to your homes, where your presence is so much required, Gentlemen, I doubt not that you will use your utmost iattuence to inspire confidence in your respective districts by encouraging that spirit of loyalty for which the Canadian people have always been distinguished, and by promoting as far as may be in your power those branches of useful and protective industry, as well as of commercial en terprise, upon which the welfare of the colony so mainly depends, For they may be assured that however unfavour able the aspect of affairs may have appeared to them, there exists sufficient power and energy in this noble province, if well directed, to make the most of the resources it 1/11QUOS. tionably possesses; that will, under the blessing of Divine Providence, create new sources of wealth and prosperity, should those upon which they have hitherto relied be found ultimately to fail them." The Hon. the Speaker of the Legislative Council then declared that it was the pleasure of his Excellency the Governor-General that the Parliament should stand prorogued to Saturday, the 18th day of July next. CANADIAN COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MorrakAL, JUNE 12.-AsnEs.-There is very little de mand for either sort ; pots are worth 225. 6d. to 225. 7%d., and pearls 21s. 6d. to 21s. 9d., with few buyers. The stock is light, and there is a material decrease in the receipts this season, which on June 1, 1846, were only 8,471 brls. of both sorts, against 10,296 brls. to same date last year. FLOC R.-After the departure of the last steamer the mar ket continued in a very depressed state for some days ; the only sales worthy of notice being 1,500 of superfine at 295., and 1,200 of extra fine at 275. 6d. The advices received by the Great Britain caused a farther extreme depression -1,500 barrels of a good brand of " fine" were placed at 265. The Hibernia's news confirmed the decline. For the . last two days there has been a good deal doing, at low pr!ces, holders having met the views of shippers, as far as possible. 8,000 to 10,000 barrels of " fine" have changed hands at 235. 6d. to 245. Id., according to brand, and this afternoon, a parcel of " extra fine" at 21s. 6d. The mart is rather firm, and the best brands may be qu9ted at 245. ke to 245. 3d. GRAIN.-We have to quote a decline of fully Is. per 60Ibs. in wheat during the last ten days. A parcel of 6,000 bushels of very prime white Upper Canada was sold, this afternoon, at ss. 4id. per 601bs. ex barge. Inferior samples ~ h a ve been sold at 4 s. 10d. to ss. transactions to note in other grains. Paovismies.-400 barrels of mess pork changed hands yesterday, at 14- dols.-the only sale we hear of. FuEIGHT 3 . - There is no great want of shipping, and freights have advanced rapidly this week. For flour to Liverpool and London, ss. 6d. per barrel has been paid in several cases, and 9s. 3d. per quarter for wheat. To Glas gow, flour was taken to-day at ss. We hear of no engage ments for ashes. EXCHANGL-There is a good deal offering, and the de cline, since last steamer, is 1 to h, per cent. Private, 90 days on London, are, to-day, worth 9i to 94. The banks are drawing at 11. !FROM MEXICO. An American paper gives the particulars of the murder of a party of fifteen Americans, including two women and a child, between Point Isabel and Corpus Christi, by a party of Mexicans, exceeding in cold-blooded cruelty any of the previous atrocities of these people. It appears that a party of fifteen, of whom Mr. Rogers, spoken of above, was one, left Corpus Christi for Point Isabel, on the 2d or 3d instant. They arrived at the Little Colorado just previous to the battle of the Bth ult., where they were surprised by a com pany of Mancheros, and being overpowered by numbers, were induced by Mexican promises to surrender as prisoners of war. No sooner had these blood-thirsty dogs obtained possession of their arms, than they stripped and robbed their victims, bound them be yond the power of resistance, and having ravished the women before their faces, cut all their throats, one fiend performing the horrible butchery. Rogers saw his father and brother butchered before him in this terrible manner before his own turn came, and his own escape was owing to the fact that while the wound upon his throat was not fatal, he had the presence of mind to feign himself dead, and was accordingly, with all the balance, thrown into the Colorado,:where he managed to escape unseen, and swans to the other side of the river, Thence he subsequently made his escape to the Rio Grande, was taken prisoner, sent to the hospital in Matamoras, and, after the battle ex *hanged. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1R46 FROM ST. DOMINGO. We learn from Captain Tew, of the schooner Velasco, from Port-au-Prince, which place he left on the 20th May, that it was reported that the Haytien army had been de feated near the mountains south of Port-au-Prince, by the insurgents from the mountains called the Pignalts. Several hundreds of the defeated army had been killed. The Hay tien fleet, consisting of two barques, one steam-ship, and three schooners, sailed on the morning of the 28th—destina tion unknown. The barque Hector, Hoyt, for New York, having on board as passenger J. C. Luther, Esq., American consul, sailed in company with Captain Tew. FROM HAVANNAH. By an arrival at New Orleans, from Havanna', we have advices from the latter place to the 9th inst. The Mexican steamers Montezuma and Guadaloupe had arrived at Havannah, and were delivered up to their builders in default of payment for the vessels. English officers had announced that Commodore Conner had notified the United States Government that it was use less to attempt the taking of the Castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa, as it was impregnable. Several failures took place in Baltimore on Saturday, in consequence of the tightness of the money market. THE LATE B. R. HAYDON, THE HISTORICAL PAINTER. (From the Plymouth Times.) It is with feelings of regret we record the death of Mr. Benjamin Robert Haydon, the historical painter, whose mortal career was brought to a sudden termination at his late residence in Burwood-place, London, on Monday last, under particularly melancholy and distressing cir cumstances, the nature of which we give appended to the following historical details relating to the deceased, which, through the kindness of some of his friends and admirers in his native town, we have been enabled to compile and place before our readers for their gratifica tion, and, perchance, for their information also. Mr. Haydon was a native of Plymouth. His father, at the time of his birth, kept a bookseller's and book binder's shop, on the premises in Whimple-street, now occupied by Messrs. Cornish and Lewin, chemists and druggists. He was a lineal descendant of the Haydons, of Cadhay, in the parish of Ottery St. Mary, in this county, which estate was in the possession of the pain ter's progenitors for several generations ; but was sold by order of Chancery some time early in the last cen tury. Cadhay House was built by John Haydon in ' the reign of Elizabeth, and shows that an artistic taste has been possessed by the family for several generations. Robert Haydon, the great-grandfather of the deceased artist, died in Ottery in 1757, and was buried in the vault of the Haydons at Cadhay. By the sale of the estate, the family became reduced, and the son of the above, Robert, was bound to the late Mr. Savery, of Slade, the pre sent residence of the Pode family, near Ply mpton, with whom he conducted himself with so much propriety that he became steward to the family, in which capacity he saved money, and about a century ago came into Ply mouth and opened a bookseller's shop. Benjamin, his son, and father of the painter, succeeded in the busi ness of bookseller, &c., in the premises in Whimple street, as before stated, and here the great historical painter was born in January, 1786. The remark made above about the John Haydon, of Queen Elizabeth's time, shows that a love of art was in herent in the familiy ; and this is further shown by the recollections of deceased, who remembered his grand father's painting, and mentioned more especially an old head of his. He used also to relate the following inte resting reminiscence :—" Northcote told me my grand father consulted his father as to the colour of elephants' ears, and he told him they were pinkish ; my grandfa ther painted them a fine brilliant vermillion." The North cote alluded to in the above recollection was the distin galshed:Academician, who was also a Plymouth man. The love of art was very early manifested in Hayden. Amongst his early recollections, he used to mention the fact of his being placed by the nurse in a chair to the table, with a brush and some colours for his playthings ; but what more effectually contributed to develop and strengthen this love of art was, that whilst yet a child, his father had for an apprentice Thomas Williams, who afterwards attained considerable reputation as a painter. Williams had, with a great love of art, sound taste and feeling, and, when an apprentice, he used to draw on the walls of the binding-room, and, amongst other figures,drew that of the embryo historical painter. These efforts were never forgotten by Haydon; but being conducted on sound principles, and being afterwards confirmed by the study of the great works of the masters of the art, may be reasonably supposed to have had great influence in the young artist's early perception of the leading points of objects. In consequence of his perpetual devotion to drawing rather than to book-binding the O l der Haydon gave up to his apprentice, Williams, his time ; who then went to London, and drew at the Academy, and re urned to Plymouth, and set up a drawing-school. Among his first scholars were Hay don, S. Trout, and the lamented William Gaudy, who, according to Hayden, drew the best of the whole. Under the tuition of Williams, his scholars made some progress; and Haydon made copies from some small casts from the antique belonging to his tutor—among which were llercules, Actaeon, and a series on the pas sions. On showing these drawings to Mr. Samuel Northcote,. the brother of the Academician, who lived a few doors from the shop of the elder Haydon, Mr. Nortcote observed to the youthful artist, " My dear boy, you do not know the construction of the figure ; have you no book on anatomy ?" This was an important, and, as it appears:to us, the grand turning point in the history of the artist, and we shall, therefore, give this portion of his experience as much as may be in his own language. To a correspondent in this town, in a letter now before us, referring to the remark of Mr. Northcote, he observes :—" I immediately went home and hunted my father's shop, and found an Encyclo rla, with plates of the muscles ; studied them cano'lnstLiaraunedts made another drawing of the figures ; Y patron said, 'Now you know more of the is a word"isc.ifehthee fiure ; for do you not see anatomy yoak ,: w sis t„ ,:; n 4 .t y i yi ii,in u d n e d r e i r t s : tan T d h a e h b i a n s t is a o b f o e ve l m th y e in English art, as shown may be permitted to f s u k t i u n re if practice say, the basis of the rapieireas.

He was intimately acquainted remembered b many of the older inhabitants of Ply y branches of Natural Philosophy, and possessed a com prehensive mind, a vast fund of inform ation, and a happy mode of communicating it to others : but although eminently fitted for a much wider sphere of operation, he never quitted the small circle of friends by whom his society and valuable qualities were appreciated and honoured. Ilaydon went to school to Dr. Bidlake, who was then master of the Grammar School. Dr. Bidlake was a man of considerable talent, not only as a divine, but also as a poet, painter, and musician. " He was," says his dis tinguished pupil, " fond of painting; but he had not the ballast of Northcote; he was a sort of miniature Lorenzo— Williams, Northcote,Johns, and Rogers, were always with him ; ho inculcated a love of nature and idle habits—he hated labour, the price of everything valuable on earth." The following was also told by Haydon of Dr. Bidlake:- -" On the Doctor's painting days, Elias Dunstervple and I were his attendants : Dunsterville was once sent to cut off the skirt of an old black coat to clean( the palette with ; without the least care he cut off the skirt of the Doctor's Sunday coat ; so that when he caine to Stonehouse Chapel on Sunday and took offsis rest coat, the clerk exclaimed, " Good gracious, Sir, some body has cut off your skirt. Oh ! said Dr. Bid lake, it must be those wretches Punster vide and Hay-don ; and I, who was perfectly innocent, was kept on Monday, as well as my friend, at a severe task." It does not appear that Haydon made much progress in the Classics under Dr. Bidlake ; but this deficiency was afterwards supplied by the Rev. W. Hayne, of Honiton, who came to Plympton, and where Haydon and Eastlake completed their studies ; sad, curious enough, in the very building which has the honour of being the birth-place of Sir Joshua Reynolds. With all his pupils Dr. Bidlake did much to give them a love of nature : he used to take them to Bickleigh Vale and to other lovely spots in the neighbourhood to sketch. Mr. Johns and Mr. Prout contributed to the instruc- tion of Haydon in painting. Prout used to tell him he did not touch with sufficient spirit—at the same time givinc , him some of his remarkably vigorous examples in the use of the brush. It was through Mr. Johns that Haydon became more intimately acquainted with the Antique, who in 1802 brought to Plymouth some small casts, and to purchase two of which the youthful enthusiast exchanged a two guinea piece given by his godfather before his remembrance. Mr. Johns set up a library, which was used by the young men; and here it was that the deceased artist first met with the Discourses of Sir Joshua Reynolds. These were read through by him in one night, and the next morning he cams to his breakfast with new feelings and new ideas — in his own language, it was "as if a fury had seized me: my mind had expanded ; my nature was altered ; I bore down all opposition by the bitterest sarcasms." His father and mother became alarmed with respect to his state, and not a few of the parties with whom he was brought into contact thought he was going mad. The father sent his friends to reason with him, but with out calming the uproarious state of his feelings ; and his mother sent for Mr. Northcote and Mr. Eastlake, as men of intellect, to converse with her son. To these gentlemen Haydon at once explained the nature o his feelings—laid open his soul before them, telling them he had made up his mind to introduce a better method of study. Mr. Eastlake said, "My dear boy, you are right ; I say to you as Horace says, Habet and God bless ye with success." Northcote was calmer, but decidedly approved of the plans of the young enthusiast. These friends having talked the matter over with them, the parents became calmer, and it was eventually agreed to send their son to London with 201. in his pocket, at the same time predicting that he would be glad to come back again. This was during the May of 1804. We have at present neither time nor space to follow Mr. Haydon's metropolitan progress in detail ; but to this subject we purpose to return in a future paper. It must suffice for the present to say, that among his earliest pictures were some quite equal, if not surpas sing, anything of their kind accomplished by either his competitors or predecessors among English painters ; as a proof, we will now merely mention the " Judgment of Solomon," than which it is almost impossible to find, in the range of English art, anything conceived in a finer or more correct taste, or execu •d with a more vigorous or masterly touch. This picture ought at the present moment to have graced the walls of one of the public buildings of the town which had the honour of being the birth-place of him who produced it ; but, alas ! while Plymouth con tributes painters of the highest talent, she has been little disposed to patronise either high art or her own gifted sons. Mainly through the influence of Mr. Johns, Sir W. Elford and Mr. Tingcombe were induced to pur chase this picture, we believe at a cost of 800/. This purchase was made in London, and the picture was brought to Plymouth; but instead of two-thirds of its cost being raised to reimburse its purchasers, who had gene rously offered to subscribe the remaining third, only about 501. was subscribed, and the picture was conse quently sold again, and so removed from Plymouth—much to the discredit of the good taste and public spirit of the inhabitants. It would seem as though the inhabitants were then, and we fear they still are, most miserably in insensible to the honour which the productions of such men as Haydon, Northcote, Prout, Eastlake, and Rey nolds, bestow upon them, or they certainly would be desirous of possessing some of the matchless works as sociated with these distinguished names, and of showing them to visitors, and of handing them down to posterity as mementos of what Plymouth men had done. We do venture to hope, that we shall soon find that at least some effort is being made to remove this stigma, by the establishment of something like a public collection of pictures in Plymouth. For more than forty years Mr. Haydon followed his profession as an historical painter, in London, with an amount of enthusiasm and industry seldom equalled— produced pictures which were an honour to his country and to the age; and yet he was not fortunate, but, on the contrary, was ever struggling with difficulty. This. no doubt, arose partly from the fact, that during the greater part of his artistic life he was at variance with the leaders in the art, and more especially with the Royal Academy. His zeal early excited prejudices in the authorities, and this exasperated him (who was, as Dr. Johnson would say, " a good hater"), and he revenged it, and unfortunately, when one party was disposed to conciliate, the other re sisted, and thus the contention has ended only with Hay dons's death, if indeed it be permitted to end ❑ow. Like most men of strong and original minds, Mr. Haydon had his eccentricities, and these were, by some, regarded as faults so grave as to obscure the brilliance of his genius—but this was assuredly a narrow and most unworthy view, for his eccentricities principally lay in the sterling honesty, and in the force of his most energetic character. Oppo sition but urged him to surpass and repel his opponent, and thus the mere fact of his being opposed by the Academy, gave him an isolated reputation, which in other circumstances he never could have attained ; it urged him to give the country a school of art which will not be " willingly let die." As a husband, father, and friend, Haydon was tender, affectionate, and faithful ; his loss is therefore most acutely felt by his family, and in his immediate circle of friends. He ever retained his love for Plymouth and the neigh bourhood, and when on a visit to the scenes and friends of his youth last summer, he exhibited the warmth, constancy, and depth of his affection in a way that the few favoured with his friendship will not forget. Had he lived, it was his intention to visit Plymouth during the present summer, and to this effect he wrote a letter to Mr. Johns, towards whom he always entertained a friendship the most glowing. He rated, with his usual good taste, Mr. Johns's ability as an artist, much higher than he has hitherto had credit for, and would frequently chide him for his timid and retiring disposition. In a further paper we hope to give a list of Mr. Haydon's works, both in art and literature—among the latter, we believe the most distinguished are the article on Painting in the Encyclopcedia Brittanica, and his Lec tures on the Art of Design and on Painting. The deceased has left to mourn their painful bereave ment an amiable and affectionate widow and four chil dren, on the behalf of whom we trust an immediate sub scription will be commenced in Plymouth. As the na tive place of the artist, Plymouth owes it to his memory to be foremost in the exercise of liberality towards his mourning family. We shall be happy to receive any pro position or hint as to the best way of carrying this ob ject into effect. RETURN OF SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE. The following was the prayer and thanksgiving offered up in the Great Synagogue, Duwe's-place, on the occa sion of Sir M. Montetiore's return from Russia:— TRANSLATION. " Shepherd of Israel ! Verily, like a scattered flock was thy people in the far north ; there was none to bring back the missing sheep, none to restore the strayed lamb, until thou didst raise a help from amidst our brethren in this country, to the succour of an afflicted mad dejected people. Even as on a former occasion, so did thy chosen one, Sir Moses Montefiore, again stand boldly forward to speak to the heart of royalty, to the Czar, to his ministers, and to the governors of the land, and his words have fructified ! Wherever he turned his steps, the serene countenance of Moses enlightened the dark abodes of antiquated prejudices, and mitigated hos tile feelings.

The mail steamer from Palma de Slajorca, which was detained a day and a half beyond its time, has just arrived, bringing the intelligence that the French squad ron, consisting of seven ships of the line and three war steamers, commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Joinville, had anchored in the Bay of Palma on the even ing of the 12th. The following is the list of vessels which compose this squadron : Flag-ship, Souverain, 120 guns, Captain Charner. The Gemmapes, 100 guns, Captain Laquerce. The Inflexible, 90 guns, Captain Chanfray. The Neptune, 80 guns, Captain Penaud. The Alger, 74 guns, Captain Dubordier, The Marengo, 74 guns, Captain Pellion. The steamer Descartes, 450-horse power and 16 guns, Commander Vernince. The Asmodee, 450-horse, and 12 guns, Commander Le Blanc. The Coubien, 320-horse power and 8 guns, Com mander Aubry. The customary salutes were fired as well by the fortress as the squadron. The Prince went ashore incognito a few hours after his arrival, and walked about the city, returning on board at 12 o'clock at night. On the 13th, at 11 o'clock, the Captain-General and Political Chief went in state to visit his Royal Highness on bowed. They were received with all due honours and the utmost urbanity and attention. At 2 o'cb ck his Royal Highness came on shore in state. The Captain- General's carriage was waiting for him, accompanied by an escort of honour ; and he proceeded to the palace of his Excellency, where he remained two or three hours. Royal honours were paid to his Highness by all the guards. After visiting the Political Chief and the French Consul, the Prince returned on board at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, under a Royal salute cf 21 guns from the fortress. On the 14th the Prince came on shore incognito in the afternoon, and went to the theatre, returning on board for the night. He accepted an invitation to a ball to be given by the town on the 18th. The French Consul gives another grand soirée afterwards. When the steamer left it was understood the squadron would not weigh anchor for this port (Barcelona) until the after noon of the 20th. It cannot come on us unawares here, as from the Castle of Monjuich it can be discovered almost from the moment it leaves Palm, Bay. Great preparations are making here to give his Royal Highness a truly princely reception.

L/LW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 27. (Sittings in Banco.) LAWTON r. HICKMAN. This was an action in the form of an action for goods sold and delivered to recover the value of some scrip certificates and shares in the Grand Union Railway Company, a com pany which had only been provisionally registered when the shares were sold. The defendant pleaded that this was a company com menced after the Ist of November, 1844: that it had not been completely registered under the 7th and Bth Viet., c. 110 ; and that the sale of the shares was therefore illegal. This objection to the legality of the sale of shares was founded on the 2d and 26th sections of that statute. The second section provided " That this Act shall apply to every joint-stock company as hereinafter defined established for any commercial purpose, &c. (except banking com panies, schools, and scientific and literary institu tions), and also friendly societies, loan societies, and benefit building societies duly certified," &c., under pre• vious Acts. This section contained the following proviso : " Provided, nevertheless, that except as hereinafter specially provided, that this Act shall not extend to any company for executing any bridge, road, cut, canal, reservoir, aqueduct, waterwork, navigation, tunnel, archway, railway, pier, port, harbour, ferry, or dock, which cannot be carried into execu tion without obtaining the authority of Parliament." The 26th section enacted, that "with regard to subscribers, and every person entitled or claiming to be entitled to any share in any joint-stock company, the formation of which shall be commenced after the Ist of November, 1844, that until suck joint-stock company shall have obtained a certificate of complete registration, and until any such subscriber or per son shall have been duly registered as a shareholder in the said registry-office, it shall not be lawful for such person to dispose, by sale or mortgage, of such share, or of any interest therein, and that every contract for the disposal of such share or interest, shall be void, and that every person entering into such contract shall forfeit a sum not exceed ing 101." The plaintiff replied that this was a railway company, established for the purpose of maintaining a rail way under the authority of an Act of Parliament, to be obtained for that purpose, and that its works could not be carried into execution without obtaining such an Act. The defeadant demurred to this replication, and raised by his demurrer the several points noticed in the judgment. The case was argued some time since by Mr. Pashley for the defendant, and Mr. Cole for the plaintiff, and the Court took time to consider. Lord DINMAN now delivered judgment. This was an action for goods sold and delivered. The defendant pleaded that the goods and chattels were shares in a joint-stock com pany, illegally sold after the Ist of November, 1844. The plea set forth all the facts necessary to show that the com pany was a company of the kind described in the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110, and was not completely registered within that Act. The plaintiff replied that the company was a company for the purpose of making a railway to be called the Grand Union Railway, under the authority of an Act of Parliament to be obtained for that purpose, and that the sale of the shares was therefore not illegal. The defen dant demurred to this replication, and the question raised was whether the facts stated in the replication made the sale of shares legal. One of the causes of demurrer was that the power required from Parliament for the execution of the works of the company was not specified, and that the appli cation was, therefore, too general. The answer to that was, that the description following the words of the Act was sufficient. Another objection was, that the replication did not say that the execution of a railway was the sole purpose of the company, but that was not necessary. The proviso in the statute did not require in terms that it should be so, and the Court would not of itself assume that the company had any object in view. To make that question available, it ought to have been specially averred that the company had some other purpose in view, besides the execution of a railway. Then it was objected that the railway shares were not goods and chattels. But the Court did not con sider this objection to be tenable. The Courts bad already recognised them to be goods and chattels in several in etances. The great question raised for decision here was, whether the circumstance that the company was established for the execution of a railway, requiring the authority of Parliament, prevented the 26th section of the statute from rendering the sale of the shares illegal. The proviso in the second section was most remarkable in its terms which di rectly prevented the application of the statute. (His Lord ship read the words of the proviso.) In the opinion of the Court, the Act did not operate upon a railway company at all, unless there was some special provision to direct its ap plication to such a company, and then it would only apply as specially provided. The proviso in the second section was not of the ordinary kind, namely, something engrafted on a preceding enactment. It was an enactment prevent ing the operation of the statute, except in particular in stances. The proviso must be taken to have been repealed at the end of each enactment, and must be considered as a statutory declaration, overruling the whole statute and exempting companies not falling within its special provi sions. The 4th, the 7th, and the 9th sections of the statute were not brought under the notice of the Court of Exchequer in the argument in the case of Young a. Smith, but this Court had considered them, and was of opinion that they were not sections, which by necessary inference rendered the 26th section of the statute applicable to railwa- , companies. The 25th section did not make the 26th section applicable, and the Court observing that the 26th section made it penal to deal in shares of companies not completely registered, could not but remark that it did not extend to railway com panies, unless it was so specially provided by the Act. When the Court searched for this special provision, it found none. The intention of the Legislature most pro bably was to deal differently with railway companies from other joint-stock companies, and the special provision in tended to apply to railways might have been omitted by accident. It certainly was not to be found in the Act, upon the words of which alone the Court had authority to proceed, and therefore the plaintiff was entitled to the judgment of the Court. L•ONIE V. OLDFIELD. This was an action for work and labour in purchasing shares and scrip certificates in certain railway undertakings. The defendant pleaded that the shares were in a joint-stock railway company commenced after the Ist of November, 1844, and not completely registered under the 7th and Bth Vict., c. 110. The plea set out all the particulars, and com pletely nq atived the exceptions contained in the second section of that Act. The replication was, that this was a company the works of which could not be carried into execu tion without the authority of Parliament. There was a de- murrer to this plea, on the ground that it did not show in what way the works could not be executed without the au thority of Parliament. The COURT did not think that this demurrer was sustain able. Enough appeared to show that the company was a railway company, and the Court would take notice that a railway company was one the execution of the works of which could not be carried on without the authority of Par liament. The judgment must, therefore, be given for the plaintiff. RAY V. HIRST. Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this case, which was exactly the same as the last case, except that the plea did not negative the exceptions contained in the proviso of the second section of the statute. There had been a demurrer for this cause, and the Court held the objection to be fatal. Judgment for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. CUSTOM IN THE PRINTING TRADE.-011 Saturday the complaint of George Bartlett, a pressman, against his master, Mr. Stevens, a printer, in Philpot-lane, was heard before Mr. Alderman Sidney. It was a complaint for non-payment of a fortnight's wages, alleged to be due by reason of a peculiar custom of the trade—that when a master takes an apprentice to work at the press, and has selected a skilful journeyman to instruct him, he shall give the journeyman a premium of two guineas and a portion of the boy's earnings, or an increase of wages equivalent thereto, for one year. A contract of service for one year certain is, therefore, tacitly raised, during which the journeyman cannot discharge himself, nor can he be discharged by his master, without good cause. In this case Bartlett had received the premium, but giving offence a few days afterwards, he received a fortnight's notice to quit, which he refused to pay any regard to, alleging that he was hired for a year. At the previous hearing of the case, the evidence of several respectable journeymen was brought forward to prove the custom of the trade. Mr. John Killingback, secretary to the Pressman's Union Society, gave evidence to the same effect. Mr. Justins, for the defendant, said he came prepared to prove that there was no such monstrous and absurd custom in the trade. Some masters were in attendance for that purpose, and he had been kindly favoured with letters from eight others. But he had evidence on ano ther point which would preclude the necessity of troub ling the magistrate with such a mass of evidence. It was admitted that, notwithstanding the implied contract for a year, a master might discharge the man for miscon• duct at any time, and he should show that Barlett had been guilty of misconduct. Besides knocking down the overseer, he had used gross and insulting language to his master. Mr. Wooler, on behalf of the Pressmen's Union, said he thought the custom was admitted at the last hearing, but he had now, as he had then, some of the oldest men in the trade to prove that it was an old custom, practised generally throughout the trade. He would establish the custom beyond the possibility of dispute. Mr. Justins said, that custom was not law, but this even was not a custom; it was at best a bad usage. Mr. Wooler observed, that our most valuable privileges had been established by custom rather than by law. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY admitted that he thought the custom was established, but he was open to hear evi dence against it. It was shown that two journeymen, who were instructing apprentices, and who left in the course of the year, were compelled to return by their masters because they had received a premium to bring up the apprentice for one year. There must be a reci procity of obligation in the contract ; if the man was bound to serve for a year, the master was bound to em ploy. The contract, of course, was subject to be deter mined by the death of parties or the act of the law in certain cases. Mr. William Stevens, the brother of the defendant, was then examined as to the complainant having at various times used gross, insulting language to his master, and that on one occasion he had either by negligence or wilfulness removed some type and caused it to tumble to pieces, and thereby rendered useless all the labour be stowed upon it. _ _ Mr. Wooler cross-examined him as to not having him self been an apprentice in the printing trade, and other matters, but left untouched the fact of the man having used the gross language. An errand-boy was called to prove the using of the of fensive expression. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY said he had paid great attention to the case, and he had no doubt that he had jurisdiction to enterta in it, and to receive parole evidence of a cus tom in this trade as to general hiring for a year. The weight of evidence, as to the custom, stood at present in favour of the complainant. During fhe fi rst y ear of a boy's apprenticeship the man he was placed to work with received 3s. extra per week. As this was part of the remuneration for initiating the a pprentice, it was due only to him who had al l the trouble at the beginning, and inferred a contract to hire the journeyman for a year. However, he did not mean to decide the question had f been d. of custom. When a servant treated his em such disrespect, and used was su su c r h ely lamg: at lt s s e proved in this case, it w ithout a brea w ch hen of a th ia e rg c e u r storn or .

The cotton hosiery trade can scarcely be considered worse ; the hands have in general some, though in many cases not full employment. In some few instances there is a slight demand for extremely fine eyelet-hole or lace hose ; but, upon the whole, this fancy branch is but in a very dull state, both in silk and cotton, scarce a third of the former and not more than a half of the latter being in full work. The cotton drawer, pantaloon, and shirt branch, is yet in rather a depressed state ; but, upon the whole, a sort of calm prevails as to the rate of wages in most branches, nor do we hear of those har rassing encroachments being practised to the extent to which it has been our painful duty so often to allude. The passing of the Ticket Bill has not been without its results, since it has made many of the hosiers rather cautious lest the Legislature should interfere with slimmer and more efficient measure. However low the present state of the English hosiery trade, we must again repeat that a very slight change, either in fashion or in the restrictions put upon hosiery when imported into any foreign state, would make this extensive manufactur,thne a flourishing condition, as the moment the labour of workmen came into demand, so as they co ld u least control over the market, theyh a nd w detest ; and, war upon cutups, which they loat ew e a s nlower extendedthe d m h ah av e e op th en e by so . doing d , e t quantity ma demand. in every instance independentahefyullwfoouurldth,inaf mhoanvotifhn fI condition, the hands The silk glove branch • The cotton glove trade is still . in rather agfic:tiiri4stitnkg • Is not in some quarter • it ) , has a shade The same remark applies to this branch. foreign ( d 2l , iea a cv t ee i d rf;pn t ir h itioy a uri t elit ote mitts,hnp thoughwerse and,at w a n w y a t h g i e t s , , ith improved.

The silk sticking trade is now scarcely ever men tioned, and is this week worse than ever; this: once ex tensive manufacture in almost every part of Europe being on the decline. It i 5 best in Paris, Madrid. and Rome; in the latter city it is rather upon the increase, making Tyrian purple silk hose for the clergy. The number of frames of all kinds in the once mistress of the world exceeds 1,000. The exportation of frames to the United States is not abated; this has caused some description of frames in Leicester to advance in price. The fancy bobbi,ig net trade is yet very dull. All appears gloomy, even among the best informed, as we are assured that London is now filled with French machine-wrought laces, got up in a manner• quite supe rior, in every respect, to the Legliell productions. At Manchester, so strong is the feeling upon this point that they do not hesitate to say that the free-trade tariff will act as a sponge upon Nottingham, and will wipe it out of the list of manufacturing towns. Upon this matter we advise them to look to themselves, as the extensive export of spinning and power-loom machinery by the ea, ern ports will be, ere long, felt by them, and they will I , ewail in dust and ashes their lide infatuation. The machinery of Nottingham require.. skilful and inge hiwas wo. kmen to manage it, in addition to its heavy cost; but very few clever men can keep a spinning factory going, the greater part of the process requiring only enildreti's and unskilled labour. There was a time when it required more skill than it does at present to spin by machinery, and they must look for the day when Russia will prohibit cotton twist as rigorously as she now pro hibits cotton stockings and cotton lace. Manchester now having most ports open to receive her cotton thieads has been long laughing at Nottingham, whose pro ductions are blocked from almost every shore. But her time will come next, and the name of the League will be held by them in execration, as they have been made the dupes of Russian diplomacy. The warp-lace trade in Nottingham and Stapleford is not by any means amended ; it is, however, rather upon the increase in London. In Leicester the lace trade is extinct, though it once employed 200 frames. Still the looms, as they are called are not idle, being turned to coarser gauges, they are making Berlin web for gloves, and by various modifications many other farpy articles ; amongst the most prominent in demand is s he worsted jacquard shawls. MARKET NE WS-(YESTERDAY)- CORN-EXCHANGE. The past week's arrivals of English Wheat, though by no meting large, were somewhat on the inc. ease, and of very superior quality. Of all other kinds of Grain of home produce the receipts were on a very limited scale. From Ireland and Scotland next to nothing came to hand ; but from abroad very large supplies of Wheat, Oats, and Flour were received. Fresh-up, a moderate supply of Wheat was received from Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, and the stands exhibited a fair number of samples. The new Corn-law being now in operation, and the importers of Foreign busy in clearing their Grain, the demand for Wheat of home produce was excessively dull, at a decline in the quota tions obtained on Monday last of from FOCA tO FIVE SHILLITIOS per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected. The ac counts which have come to hand from all parts of the coantry rela tive to the growing crops are very favourable. The show of foreign Wheat was not to say large, yet the millers purchased that article with extreme caution. However, we can notice no actual al teration in value, although prices were with difficulty supported. The best malting Barley was quite as dear, but all other kinds had a downward tendency. The quantity on offer was comparatively small. Superfine white Malt was in fair request, and last week's currencies were well supported. In all other kinds very few sales took place. The show of English, Irish, and Scotch Oats was limited, but that of foreign was on the increase. The Oat trade was very dull, at a de cline of from Is to 2s per quarter. Although very few Beans were on offer, the demand tor them was heavy at late rates. In Peas next to nothing was doing, at last week's quotations. The Flour trade was extremely dull, and to sell lower prices must have been accepted.
