Nothing is yet known as to the formation of a new Government beyond the fact that Lord JonN RUSSELL is aCticely engaged in all the preliminary arrangements. Lord MINTO did not accompany Lord Jon to Osborne House. The QUEER returns to Buckingham Palace to- day. Parliament will, in all probability, be again ad journed from Friday to Monday week following, by which time all the elections rendered necessary by the acceptance of office will be completed. It is impossible to estimate sufficiently the import ance of the views put forward with respect to the futtire government of Ireland, by Sir R. PEEL, on Monday evening, wizen announcing the resignation of the Ministry, of which he had been at the head, in consequence of a defeat sustained by them on an Irish question. It has ever been admitted and repeated, fugue ad nauseam, that Ireland has been the great difficuly, the fertile source of trouble and embarrassment to every succeeding Government ; its state and condition has cast a deep stain on various Administrations by which it was governed, and has manifested, beyond the possibility of doubt, the existence of some radical defect either in the laws themselves or in the mode of their administra tion; the removal of which, and the consequent ad vancement of that country in the social scale, must be most ardently desired by every philanthropist, by every one anxious for the continued happiness of Great Britain and Ireland, the welfare and prosperity of every portion whereof is more intimately connected with, and dependent on, that of the residue than is gene rally supposed to be the case. Sir R. PEEL appears )to have solved the difficulty in a great degree. If the bold outline which he has traced should be filled up in a liberal and enlightened spirit—if there be established in Ireland a complete equality in civil, political, and municipal institutions with her sister kingdoms —if complete religious equality be attained, the foundation will un doubtedly be laid for the amelioration and improve ment of all classes of society in that country. We doubt not the good intentions of the new Ministry with respect thereto. We are fully convinced that their greatest anxiety will be to arrive at the happy end, to attain a consummation so devoutly to be wished for, and that for that purpose their earliest attention will be devoted to the means by which it may be effected. The great defect of every attempt hitherto made has been that it did not go to the root of the evil, that it merely attempted a patching up, in place of a total reconstruction and remodelling of the existing laws. Some slight variations may still be rendered neces sary by the differences unhappily existing in the manners and habits of the people, but, as Sir R. PEEL remarked, if it be not possible, for the present, to carry out this complete political and religious equality, according to the letter of the terms, it can be done so according to the spirit. Assimilate, then, as far as possible, the laws relating to both nations as far as it is practicable, and extend to Ireland all the rights and privileges possessed by the inhabitants of this country. Let not the people of Ireland sup pose that we regard them with distrust or sus picion ; that we consider it unsafe to extend to them the blessings we ourselves enjoy, or that a different rule of action should be applied to their country to that which is applied to England. Evince to them a perfect impartiality in the administration of affairs, and in the distribution of patronage, and let it not be sup posed that any man will be considered as disqualified, or as less likely to be selected for the discharge of important public duties, on account of the peculiar religious opinions he may be supposed to entertain. These will be the first steps, and thereby the confi dence of the Irish peasant will be obtained. Hitherto he has had too many reasons to suppose that he may look in vain to the law for the redress of the injuries he may sustain,—that it is an instrument for his oppression and not for his security. Remove this feeling, and teach him that it will be administered with perfect impartiality and equality to every man within these realms, and he will soon learn to appeal to it for protection, and no longer to sympathise with or to shelter the habitual lawbreaker or the midnight dis turber of the peace. Having thus prepared the minds of the people for the reception, in a proper spirit, of measures calculated to improve their social condition, let slip no opportunity of eliciting and drawing forth their latent energies ;—the relationship between landlord and tenant must be improved, the tenure of land must be placed upon a sounder and a better footing. We do not quite agree with the ex- Premier in supposing that it may be impossible to apply an immediate remedy—that the benefit may only be a remote one. We think that the Bill brought in to allow a tenant compensation for the improvements on his holding may be easily so ex tended as to apply as well to those already effected as to those bereafter to be carried into execution. The entire of the recommendations offered by Lord DzvoN's Commission should be given effect to as speedily as possible, and no time should be lost in taking steps to reclaim the waste lands, and thus to afford ample employment to every man able and willing to work throughout the country, and to create a prosperous and happy yeomanry, by making well disposed and industrious labourers and small farmers the proprietors of portions of the lands so reclaimed, suited in quantity to their respective conditions. Should these recommendations be carried into execu tion, Ireland will no longer be the difficulty, but the strength and support of the British nation. Mr. O'CONNELL has just issued, in a letter to the Repeal Association, a concise and temperate state ment of the policy which he deems necessary, not merely for the realisation of happiness to Ireland, but for ensuring stability to the British Ministry. At any period such an announcement from such a quar ter, would have been listened to with deference; but at the present moment, when a Cabinet emphatically styled the strong Government has fallen to pieces upon that most difficult of all our political questions, the legislation of Ireland, the voice of DANIEL O'CONNELL acquires a peculiar emphasis and an impressive vigour. It is not the factious clamour of a demagogue, or the insolent demands of a revolutionary charletan, which are audible in this remonstrance with English rulers, and this appeal to English justice, uttered by the Honourable and Learned Member fur Cork—it is rather the candid and plain-spoken opinions of a man whose judgment is ripened 133 many years of experience, and whose imagination is now only agitated by the turmoils of his own patriotism. We must declare that Mr. O'CONNELL assumes to us a nobler and more dignified position when writing such a document as this, than when seated on the summit of Tara, or cheered by the auditors of Conciliation Hall. Never to our thinking has the " Liberator" appeared to greater advantage than he does at the present moment, and never possibly has his declarations acquired for them selves such influence and authority. Forty-six years have now elapsed since the legislative union of the two countries, and precisely at this juncture a proverbially powerful administration is destroyed in consequence of the distracted and problematic condition in which the Irish Govern ment has fallen. Here, therefore, is a striking, and, we may term it, an unanswerable evidence, that Ire land is not treated as justice or policy require. Here is a testimony that the utmost caution is demanded in the official treatment of that fruitful but unfortunate island. Ruin, and desolation, and the foulest enormities have been running riot amongst its inhabitants : according to Lord DEVON'S Commis sion, 2,300,000 of those people have been in a state of absolute destitution during the principal portion of a single year; the average nutriment of the labour ing Irish is derived from potatoes and cold water; whole villages are ejected from their tenements at the arbitrary will of their landlords, and driven like ver min into .the byways and ditches; murders of the blackest dye and of the .naost devilish inhumanity are of frequent recurrence in whatever provinces are with out the tenant-right. Is not this a horrible situation for a civilised country in this civilised generation, especially under the free and benignant constitution of Great Britain? Is it not horrible? Does it not demand in a voice that cannot easily be hushed some effort at amelioration ? Men are driven to insanity by an accumulation of misfortunes, they become, as it were, dearth with misery—may not a whole people be so likewise ? When individuals are thus goaded on by lincessant woes, and disappointments, and privations, their anguish not unfrequently terminates in suicide when a whole nation is pressed down by the like sorrows, its agony ultimately finds vent in acts of in subordination and rebellion. It becomes, therefore, the imperative and sacred duty of a Government to observe, at least, the first symptoms under misfortunes in a remove the people, caus e of suffering from among the popul a ti on . Ireland is in e ana to re of m that critical position ; and Mr. O'CoNNELL,the avowed champion of the Irish multitude, steps forward to pro nouLice this solemn warning—" I (who detest any. thing recolutionary, and abhor violent changes, and would not fak,P the best amelioration of public insti tutions At the expeni, - ;" of a single drop of blood) tell you tittzt the people of Ireland cannot much longer en,:iure their present misery !" That is an awful consideration ; but from our hearts we believe it to b 2 literally cor rect. The Hon. Memberfor Cork does not, I:owever, restrict himself to the mere enunciation of a warning, He proceeds further, and pronounces it as his opinion that there is now " an opportunity of considering the Irish question as upon neutral groan& ; there is a glorious opportunity of deciding if the repeale - es be right in believing that no substantial relief can be given to Ireland by the British I#rlaica?.;:lt ; or that they are as wrong to the demonstration which wonii,i suit from practical) otice being afforded by that Jr: THE SUN,_ LONDON', THURSDAY, MORNING, JULY 2, 1846. liament." That is surely a sensible and unanswer able position of the matter. The Ministry maintain that a repeal of the union is an impossibility, and the Irish people implore that if they are not to legislate for themselves, then that the British Cabinet should at least govern them with a paternal solicitude. Sir ROBERT PEEL acknowledged the rationality of this derriand in his noble address on retiring from office. He then asserted that Ireland should possess complete equality in municipal and political institutions. Mr. O'CONNELL, has, however, classi fied the grievances which he conceives ought to be removed, and in so doing simplifies the question of what are the literal demands of Ireland. The fol lowing, says he, are the matters of which the Irish multitude complain : " First—A scandalously defective 'representation_ " Second 7 A grievously limited and defective franchise. "Third—Miserably defective corporate reform. "Fourth—The monstrously oppressive Church Establish ment for the use of the few. "We require the redress of these grievances, and in ad dition— "FifLhly—A literary and religious education for each per suasion, from the power of any other. Justice to all, ascend ancy to none. "Sixthly—An absentee tax sufficient to secure the residence, or to compensate for the absence of the lanled proprietor. - "Seventhlv—The establishment of the tenant right. " Eightly-:-Compensation for valuable improvements made by the occupying tenant. " Ninthly—Abolition of ejectment for non-payment of rent, unless under a lease of 31 years at the least. " Tenthly—Abo ition of the power of distraint, unless there be a lease of 21 years at least. " Eleventhly—Total abolition of the power of distraining growing crops. " Twelfthly—The institution of county boards instead of the present inadequate and blundering county grand jury system." Such, according to "the Liberator," are the perform ances which will be expected from Lord J. RUSSELL'S Administration. We shall hope for a fulfilment of O'CONNELL'S dearest aspirations for the welfare of Ire land, and we shall base our hopes upon the co-opera tion almost promised by Sir ROBERT PEEL to his suc cessor. The Weser and Cologne Gazelle states that the projected constitution for Prussia is at last framed, and would shortly be published. States-General are to be established, and the provincial States are about to obtain some new prerogatives. The States-General are to meet every three years. They will have a right to vote the budget of ex penditures and receipts, and to control all finan cial matters. Their action will in nowise interfere with that of the provincial states, which will con tinue to assemble ai usual. They are not, however, to possess the legislative power, properly ,speaking. The eight provincial assemblies are to retain the right of examining every legislative proposition respecting persons and property. Those assemblies will. also alone enjoy the right of petition. The following intelligence from Kurdistan appears, under the date of June 2, in the All,gsburgh Ga zette : " According to a letter from Erzeroum, the state of affairs has not champ(' in the Kurdistan. Mahmoud Khan still retains the Pacha of Van shut up, and the former dares not leave his fortress, although he has received artillery from Erzeroum. The powerful chief of the Kurdes now receives the tribute from all the localities, both Armenian and Turkish, on the Lake of Van, and which formerly entered the scoffers of the Pacha. The Pacha of Mossul is also held in check by Beder Khan, but the latter is too old to be actuated by any feelings of ambition. The Pacha of Mossul endeavours to cultivate the favour of the Prince of the Kureles. and only a short time since sent him - a magnificent Nischan in diamonds. It is thought at Erzeroum, that after the death of Beder Khan there will be a great movement in Asiatic Turkey, and that the war like tribes of Buhdan will invade Mesopotamia. Thl diplo matic negotiations concerning the differences between Turkey and Persia are at an end, but it does not appear that the affair is wholly settled. Neither power will yield. The European diplomatists have remained neutral, except Sir Stratford Canning, who has ordered the British Ambassador at Teheran to use a menacing tone in the event of the Grand Vizier not giving way. This advice, however, does not appear to have been followed, Mr. Shiel contenting him self to oppose the Russian influence." Madrid papers of the 24th have arrived. The emeute which had been apprehended on that day had not taken place, and the procession of St. John's Passed off peaceably. The Marquis of PENAFLORIDA has resigned his office of Alcalde of Madrid. The Gazette publishes the ratifications of the treaty be tween Spain and Venezuela, which were exchanged on the 22d. The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 24th. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They all speculate on the probable results of the change of Ministry in England, but we find nothing in their observations worth extracting. The France publishes the following on the subject of the marriage of the QUEEN of Spain : " When in February last the Marquis de Miraflores came into power, he learnt that the Court of Naples was on the point of instructing its Ambassador at Madrid, Prince de Ca rini, to demand officially the hand of Queen Isabella for the Count de Trapani. The Marquis de Miraflores sent for the Prince de Carini, and declared to him that if he made such an official demand in the then state of affairs, the Spanish Cabinet would find itself under the necessity of giving a for mal refusal. M. Bresson, Minister of Louis Philippe, had held all the threads of this intrigue. and great was his dis• appointment when he knew how the project, so long ma tured according to the orders received from Paris, had com pletely failed. The Neapolitan Ambassador therefore found himself forced to abstain from all demand in marriage, and referred the matter to his Court, which was itself the victim of its too great confidence in the astute politicians who had prepared this combination, and who found them selves at last caught in their own snare. From the day that the Marquis de Miraflores had energetically rejected M. Bresson's candidate, all kinds of intrigue were put in move ment to bring about hip overthrow. On his side, M. de Mi raflores proposed to the English Cabinet to accord to the English Minister at Madrid the title of ambassador, in order that he might have his free entrées to the Queen's presence, a circumstance which had hitherto given great facilities to the proceedings of M. Bresson in favour of the Trapani marriage." Letters have teen received in Paris from Rome, which state that there is reason to hope that the new POPE will grant a Constitution to his subjects. The Duke of SOTOMAYOR and Lord COWLEY ar rived in Paris on Sunday from London. The alarm caused on the Paris Bourse by the ap prehended change of Ministry in England is subsid ing. The funds and shares generally—those of the Great Northern Company in particular —rose on Monday.

COURT CIRCULAR. • His Serene Highness the Prince of Leinincren and Lord John Russell joined the royal dinner circle at Osborne House on Tuesday evening. Yesterday morning at half-past eight o'cloc ., , Lord John Russell left - Osborne House, crossed from the Isle of Wight in the Fairy steam-packet, and proceeded to town, returning by route of Y Wimbledon, where Lady John Russell has been staying._ The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday morning in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne House. The Royal children rode out on ponies yesterday The Court will, it is expected, leave Osborne House at two o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon, for Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge visited the botanical garden in the Regent's Park yesterday. Lord John Russell returned to his residence in Chesbam place at half past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, from Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The Duke of Bedford visited his Lordship immediately after his arrival. Sir Robert and Lady Peel left their residence in Whitehall Gardens yesterday morning, for Drayton Manor, Stafford shire. Mr. William Smith had an interview with Mr. Secretary Gladstone yesterday, at the Colonial-office. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England bad a general meeting yesterday. There were present, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Durham, Bangor, Chichester, Gloucester and Bristol, Oxford, Roches ter, Salisbury, and Worcester, and the Right lion. 11. Hobbouse. _ Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governors of the West India Colonies. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Coun c il sa t Yester day, and resumed the hearing of the Vasareelely case, from Madras. Mr. Kindersley, Queen's . Counsel,"was heard. The Lords present were the Lord President, the Master of the Rolls, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was well sup pprted generally. Sales, 6,000 bales. Shares were dull. At Messrs. Lamond's sale of Railway Shares and scrip there was rather an improved demand. There have been several most excellent letters in our Con temporary, the Morning Advertiser, signed " Alfred," urging a subscription of a penny each from "the millions" of this country, to raise a statue to the honour of Sir Robert Peel for his Corn and Tariff Bills, and for his devotion t o th e cause he has tak en u p, o f giving freedom to trade and commerce, so far as is at present consistent with reference to the revenue, and the due fulfilment of the national obligations, and the efficient maintenance of the various departments of the public service. There is but one opinion in the City now that such a testimonial ought to be vigorously supported. Our respected Contemporary is right in urging this subject forward ; and we only trust that the object in view will be most fully carried out. The following interesting statistics relative to the London dried fruit trade are by an experienced broker in the trade:— "The consumption of currants sensibly increases. The clearances here from the 234 of May to the 23d of June, have been 715 tons against 640 tons in 1845, and at Liverpool. during the four weoks ending June IC, 403 tons against 350 tons in 1845. From the official accounts of the Board of Trade, those of the United Kingdom during the first four months of this year were 4,341 tons, against 3,614 tons, and 3 . 590 tons during the same period of 1845 and 1844. I,CO) tons The stock herein bond on the 23d was estimated at The imparts have since been 1,045 butts, 805 carroteels, and 1,194 barrels The deliveries in that period for home consumption, tons For shipment 1,150 „ Leaving a stock in bond on 23d inst. of about 1,350 „ against 1,750 tons at the same period of 1845, and 300 tons on the 30th June, 1844. We require no less than 100 tons to equalise our imports with those of the whole oflast season." The Ministerial movements appear now to excite very little interest in the City, as it is considered all but certain that, as far as the present session of Parliament is concerned, (the Sugar Duties excepted) scarcely anything but routine business will be transacted. _ . The accounts from — the Cape of Good Hope received this morning have occasioned considerable anxiety as to the re sult of the warfare between the British and Colonial forces, and the insurrectionary native chiefs. The private accounts d 9 not contain so many details, as are made public by the second editions of our morning contemporaries. It is expected in the Corn Market, that all the foreign grain now under lock will be released at the latest to-morrow.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--SPLENDID ARRANGEMENT OF L O OKING-GLASS, producing the effect of a long arcade, and of bewildering as to cause a doubt whether you are in London or in old Rome. "Arch follows arch, and pile neeeeds to pile." This unique apartment is devoted to cutting and arranging the hair in, and with another having a beautiful view of Naples, are on the ground-floor. In calling attention to their establish. ment, Ross and SON beg to notice the advantages of their system—viz., they never take apprentices nor young men from the country, nor object to customers asking for the same man to wait upon them, every person has clean brushes, they never being used twice, without being washed ; and parties are not pressed to buy things they do not want.

The Fortieth Anniversary Dinner of the friends and pstrons of this institution was held yesterday, at the White Conduit Tavern, Pentonville. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided. The cloth having been removed, the " Non Nobis " Wai sung. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR proposed the first toast, which was one which he said he needed but to state to ensure the mest cordial reception ; it was the health of her Majesty Queen Victoria, the patroness of the institution. The toast was drunk with the usual honours. • • The next toasts were " The Queen Dowager," " Prince Albert, the patron of the institution," " The Prince of Wales, the vice patron of the institution," "The Princess Royal, and the other branches of the Royal Family," " The Army and Navy." The children of the school, boarded, clothed, and lodged by this institution, were then introduced to the company. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR then proposed the next toast. He said—Ladies aid Gentlemen—l am satisfied that you are all acquainted with the objects for which we have met together this day, and seeing the interesting sight which we have before us in the youths of those whom you have thought fit to introduce into this Establishment, I am convinced that you have met upon this occasion to promote the object of this school, which I must say is one of the greatest importance in this large metropolis. It is a school managed, I must -ay, with the smallest amount of funds of anv of such noble institutions in the country. And when I say so, I do not say so without having made the most minute and particular inquiries into the circumstances of this *eh° )I, and the mode upon which it is conducted, but I do say so from information which I have myself received. Before I came to the chair to-day I found this to be the case, and I find that every year it is going on with still greater economy of management, and with greater benefit to those whom you have sent to this institution. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I congratulate this noble as semblage brought here to day on the objects and designs of this Institution, which is to have these children brought up in the way they are, and put out to an honest and industrious means - of obtaining their livelihood. It is also worthy of this assembly to know what are the means by which this Institution is supported. When I come to look over the large amount raised by the in fluential persons connected with this Society, I think it Would be perfectly astonishing to a foreigner, were he to be told of the amount. I think he could not believe such enormous sums could be collected together. When I read at page 120 of your report, I find that the amount, enormous as it is, is stated to be " for weekly al. lowances," 132,2461. 19s. Bd.—(Loud cheers.) Gentle !lien, what would that noble-minded foreigner, in whose company I was yesterday, say to this sum. if he were here at the present time ?—(Hear, hear.) He is one of those inquiring minas, who would not rest till he had made himself acquainted with the foundation of the institution. His object in making these inquiries is for the good of his country and his people.— (Cheers.) Gentlemen, when I look at this report, I find the subscriptions to amount to the enortn , ells sum of 130,6401. 7s. sd. When you see the good works you have already accomplishel by the esta blishment of these schools, you will not, I am sure, efuse your assistance to support them. There is only one thing whioh I can comment upon with anything like feelings of lamentation, that is, that your schools are capable of affording accommodation to WO children more than you now have, but that the funds will not admit of t.iat increase. You are met here to -night for the purpose of hearing these statements, end you will, I am sure, be ready to do your utmost to make up this deficiency. There is one further sum, and rather an important item in the account, which comes under the designation of " Charity-box subscriptions." Ibis amount is derived from persons whose names are not known—who do not participate in the benefits de rived from these schools. I see the sum of 4,3071. 4s. 6d. placed to this account. When I consider that that sum made up from small contributions from persons who ire not inclined to make their names known, I must say that those are persons whom I most admire.—(Cheers.) I will now speak of the total amount of the funds raised last year, which I find to ba 250,596/. 1 ls. Id. When will you find an institution of this kind supported with the same degree of liberality—a schtail supported by those whom I know take a deep interest in the school designated the Licensed Victuallers' School ?—(Loud cheers.) An institution supported by an excellent and .gracious Queen. She gives us encouragement to sup part it, and when she finds that you will put your hands into your pockets to support it, she will, I am sure, be ready to assist you when called upon to do so. Gentlemen, I am satisfied you will hear from the children if these schools to-day that which will delight your ear, Ind which I am sure you will wish to hear ; and while you may be gratifiel with the scene you have witnessed to-day, I can assure you that no person will be more ;ratified than myself.—(Cheers.) It is true that I was :ailed upon at a lats period ; but when I found that your excellent friend Sir Felix Booth, who takes so JnrilCh interest eVented, by illness, the proceedings ess,fromattend attending, this S I at once nc t e ic r ity w responded nde a d s io the call of your Committee to take the chair, however feebly it may have been sustained.--(Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I have witnessed many scenes during m . , .mar of office, but I have not yet witnessed any scene - .vhich has gratified me like this, or one that has g.ven ne greater s iatisraction. I redalect contrhuting to the iociety at a former period, and I shall be happy to lend iou my aid at any time you may think fit to call upon :ne for that purpose. Gentlemen, lam satisfied that the oast which is now put into my hand, will be received ty volt with the greatest enthusiasm. It is " Prosperity to he Licensed Victualltrs' School, and rosy it prosper and sourish for ever." The toast having been most cordially responded to, to address was delivered by one of toe bop or the ichnol,.a hymn was also sung by the children bebnvig the institution. D. W. WIRE, Esq., then rose to T ropose a toast, with ,hich he was entrusted by the Committee. It was the .lealth of the Right llon. the Lord Nll.yor. who, at a -hurt notice, had condescended to take the chair at this nagnificafit meeting. "How," said th:, Hon. Gentleman, -11 e hai acquitted himself you all can bear testimony, for :t has been in a manna-r which few could have done with :urge study and much preparation.—(Cheer,) But I inow his Lordship 'well; and when the heart is right :he mouth will speak; and I kn,tw that, during his year of office, the whole of his time has been taken up in promoting works of charity, and he could not, there `bre, refuse the request of your committee to be present At this meeting. I am sure, that if there is an y p o i nt a which his Lordship will be distinguished above his ,medecessors, it will be that there has not been a single charity which he has not either supported himself or cheered by his presence.—(Cheers.) It is his great honour, not that he holds the highest munici pal situation in this country, but that his hand oas ever been open, and his heart has been enlarged in advocating, the cause of universal charity.—(Cheers.) And I am sure that when he comes to part from his office, and lay down the pomp, and itate, and ceremony by which he is surrounded, it will ne with the grateful recollections, which will serve to :hoer him in after life, that he held his office, not ;or the purpose of self aggrandisement, but for the purpose of alleviating the miseries, of ad vocating the rights, of protecting the lierbties, and advancing the cause of charity, and doing good to man kind. I shall conclude with proposing the health of the Right Hoe. the Lord Mayor, and thanking him at the 'ame time for his kindness in attending this meeting, and for the ability which he has:displayed, and for his munificence to this charity, of which you will hear hereafter. I hope also that the ladies present will join in that toast, and show, by their approval, that such conduct is deserving of their smiles." The health was then disposed of with the customary honours. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks for the very hand iomo manner in which they bad drank his health, and took occasion to state that the secretary had informed him that there were upwards of 2,000 persons present, and that considerably more than 2,0001. had been re ceived towards the funds of the institution that day. Lie was sorry that he was compelled to leave them at so early a period ; he had, however, an engagement of long standing, which it was necessary for him to - attend to. In leaving, he would give them his most sincere thanks for the manner in which they had drank his health, and wished them many happy returns of thsir festive scene. The chair was then taken by Mr. Williams, the Go vernor of the institution. The SECRETARY read the report. Among the sub subscribers we noticed those of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, 10/. 10s.• the Right lion. the L or d Mayor, 21/.; Sir Felix Booth's 24th annual subscription, 21/ ; also a donation of oae shilling each to each of the children of the school, amounting to 5/. 11s., per the same gentleman. The health of " the Governor of the Institution," " Prosperity to the Morning Advertiser and the Press," " The Ladies," and several ocher toasts, were proposed and drunk, and the company separated. _ The musical ov ertainmentswere under the direction of Mr, Moody; the duties of toastmaster were performed by Mr. Toole, jun.; and the dinner was served up so ; s to reflect credit on the arrangements of Mr. Rouse, the proprietor of the White Conduit Tavern. " Upon the grounds belonging to the tavern several large banners were floating, on which were inscribed " Prosperity to the Licensed Victuallers' School," and other appropriate mottoes. THE HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCHPoLE. BY THE REY. R. COBBOLD.—A fourth edition of this remarkable work has just appeared, complete in one volume. The story of Margaret Catchpole is one of so extraordinary and ro mantic a characte r, that the reader w ill a l most consider it as animprobability instead of a reality. But truth is stranger than fiction, and of this fact the career of Margaret Catch pole affords one of the most striki ng , an d, i n i ts close, one of the most pleasing, as well as interesting and instructive, examples. The volume before us narrates the wh o l e o f h er a dventures with emphatic simpl icity and graphic truth. Throughout may be traced an inherent love of truth and singleness of purpose— t ogether with a natural abh orrence o f every mean or sordid vice—which form the real link of iym i iathy, and render Margaret's fortunes interesting to all classes of readers. Mr. Cobbold has done his romantic sub ject ample justice, and produced one of the most truly inte resting biographies in the language. The work is dese rv i ng of a wide circulation, and will assuredly take a permanent place in the libraries of the people.—Edinburgh Evening Post. FATAL OCCURRENCE NEAR ERlTlL—Tuesday fore noon the following loss of life took place:—lt appeared that a lighterman, named Newman,. had charge of a heavjjy, laden barge of chalk, and was proceeding up the river for the purpose of discharging his cargo At one of the City lime wharfs. Having met a young man on shore, the latter asked Newman to give him a cast up to London, but they had not proceeded far up the river when the vessel instantly filled with water, and, having no boat, they were tpth ot.ligsl to trust to swimming ashore, which val,s sumo distance. The barge, of cours e = and 14tewman and his c ompan i on made; for land, which the former was enabled to rely but the latter WU lost. • .DELPHI THEATRE. A new 11 - ml O-dramatic romance, entitled The Devil of Mar seilles, or The Spirit of Avarice, from the practised pen of Mr. Peake, was produced here last evening. It would appear, from the legend on which the drama is founded, that the Spirit of Avarice has taken up his abode in Marseilles, and that once in a century he appears as the Devil of Marseilles, and of course plays the devil with every one with whom he comes in contact. The concluding year of the century has expired at the time at which the drama com mences, and the Spirit of Avarice is by a cer tain M. Brissac (Mr. Cullenford) unconsciously set loose. Brissac is the guardian of Clementine (Madame Celeste) a rich Brazilian heiress, with whom he is about to take his departure for Rio Janeiro. She is in love with De Launay, the surgeon to the Bagne, at Marseilles, whose suit is rejected by Brissac, because he is poor. There is in the Bagne a .foreat, Pierre Cranon (Mr. O'Smith), who has sixty times endeavoured to make his escape. He pretends to be dead, but De Launay finds out the imposition; how ever, he tries to bribe De Launay to connive at his escape, and tells him w h ere an i mmense treasure is hidden. Overcome by the Spirit of Avarice (most 'grotesquely represented by Mr. Mitchinson), De Launay, having acquired a knowledge of his secre', calls the guard to arrest Pierre, who escapes by the window, and then pro ceeds to the spot pointed out by the foreat, disinters the trea sure, and becomes rich. Cranon, who has escaped, arrives just after, and finds the treasure gone. The Spirit of Avarice, however, supplies him with a disguise, and he works his passage out to Brazil on board the same ship with Clementine, Brissac, and Jean de l'Oye and his wife, the two comic characters of the piece, whose sayings and doings, although they defy description, may be imagined when we say. that Wright was the husband, and MisiWoolgar the wife. Arrived in Brazil, the Spirit of Avarice soon works upon all of them. Brissac endeavours to cheat Clemen tine out of her property. Cranon' induces certain slaves to decamp with him into the woods, and to rob the house of Brissac, while the comic part of the plot is strengthened by the advent of Paul Bed ford, who; as Captain Beausobre, the harbour-master, falls desperately in love with Madame de l'Oye, and roars out serenades in a tone that would drown a speaking trumpet. In the third act two arrivals take place. De Launav (Mr. C. Boyce), the heretofore poor surgeon, as a rich Signior, demands the hand of the now poor Clementine • and Aveira, (Mr. C. Perkins), her father, w h o h as f or years been supposed to be dead, also arrives, having been released from a'longim prisonment in the dungeons of the Inquisition at Lisbon. He recognises a bracelet on the arm of his daughter as a jewel of which he had been robbed molly years before. That bracelet was a present from De Launav, who is immediately suspected as the robber. It is a bracelet which he had fnuid in the casket. He returns the whole of the stolen property to Aveira, who thus recovers his fortune. In the meantime Cranon and his associates, Scipio, a negro (Mr. Munyard), and Maquas, an Indian (Mr. C. J. Smith), have broken into the Quinta of l3rissac, and carried off a casket of jewels. As they are escaping they inert Clementine, bedecked with jewels. Cranon recognises the bracelet, and, to avoid dis covery, they take Clementine, who has fainted, to their re treat, sending Maquas on before with the casket. Maquas, to secure the whole of the plunder, poisons the wine which he knows his coin panionst will drink, and they, to cheat him of his share of the plunder, assassinate him. In the meantime Brissac and De Launay, who have put blood-hounds on the trail, arrive as Cranon is breathing his last. The Spirit of Avarice sets tire to the forest; and the innocent escape, and De Launay and Clementine are unit. d. The piece is full of incident and startling effects. The scenery is beautiful, and the actors, comic, tragic, and choerographic—(Mitchinson proved himself no unworthy rival of Wieland)—exerted themselves to the utmost. The Devil of Marseilles, taken per se, is• the funniest of devils. He has collected around him a most interesting, and a most amusing groupe, and there can be no. donfwbut that the Spirit of Avarice—(it is th,, first time that ever Webster pa tronised such a spirit)—will prove a most profitable spirit to the Adelphi.

We give the following additional particulars and current rumours, for which we have only the authority of those cor respondents who usually supply the morning papers with news of a similar description. It is needless to add, that as Lord John Russell has not yet returned to town, no official appointment can have yet been made. Lord John Russell granted an interview on Monday to Mr. Tufnell, M.P., who remained with the Noble Lord up to ten o'clock. At a few moments subsequent to that time the Noble Lord was waited upon by the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Clarendon, Lord Cottenham, the Earl of Minto, and Viscount yalmerston. The meeting lasted until past eleven o'clock. 'Tuesday morning, at ten o'clock, Lord John Russell pro ceeded in his private carriage to the residence of Sir Robert Peel in Whitehall Gardens, where the two statesmen had an interview of three-quarters of an hour's length. Mr. C. Wood called on Lord John Russell shortly after his return from Whitehall Gardens, at a few minutes past eleven o'clock. Dar. C. Wood subsequently had a long interview with Earl Grey, at his mansion in Beigrave-square. The Earl of Minto had a long interview with Lord John Russell yesterday forenoon. Lord John Russell left Chesham-place at twelve o'clock for Nine Elms, and proceeded to Osborne House via the South- Western Railway. The Noble Lord travelled alone, and was not accompanied by the Earl of Minto (his father-in-law), as stated by the evening papers. Sir George Grey was engaged fur some time on Tuesday with his noble relative, Earl Grey. Earl Grey dined with Mr. C. Wood on Tuesday evening, at his mansion in Eaton•place. The Earl of Clarendon had an interview with Viscount Palmerston on Tuesday at the latter Noble Lord's mansion in Carlson House-terrace. The Noble Earl had also an inter view with the Marquis of Lansdowne on Tuesday. The Earl of Minto called on the Marquis of Lansdowne on Tiv,lay afternoon, and was closeted some time with his Lordship. A very numerous meeting of the Liberal party was held at Brookes's Club on Monday night.

Another arrival from the Cape of Good Her has put us in possession of news from the frontier, of several days later date, at which period the Kaffirs and the British continued hostilities, without the most remote appearance of their termination, unless military succour were promptly rendered. The colony is in a most de plorable condition, left as it is to a handful' of troops, against hordes of daring barbarians. Indeed, if we may place reliance upon the statement of a Fingoe, who had escaped from the bush, it was the fixed intention of the Kaffirs to make an attack upon Graham's Town. Several engagements had taken place, in the most of which the Kaffirs had been successful. A little gallant affair however, cccurred at Salem, where the enemy (300 in number) were soundly beaten by the inhabitants, con- • sisting of a few young men, who exhibited the most - determined bravery. The details subjoined will be read with interest. To enter into treaties with these faith less tribes is worse than useless, and until a strong mi litary force be placed at the disposal of his Excellency the Governor, to keep these barbarian bands in check, neither property, nor quiet, nor life will be secure in the colony. (Supplement to the South African Commercial Advert ser of May 2.) The frontier post arrived in town this day, May 3. It brings intelligence from Graham's Town to the 28th of April, four days later than the advices received on Thursday last. The sum of the intelligence is that the Kaffirs have en tered the colony in great numbers, and have succeeded in carrying off numerous droves of cattle, in the defence of which and their homes and families, several of the colonists have fallen. The following is the latest intelligence from Block Drift :-- An express came in from Fort Beaufort this (Tuesday) afternoon about one o'clock, bringing information from Block Drift to the 25th April (Saturday). The troops con tinued inactive, and nothing, it appears, was known of the inroad of the Katiirs into the colony, for Colonel Johnstone has been directed to send as large a force as he can muster to strengthen Fort Peddle, a step which, having been ordered in total ignorance of the events which have lately occurred, will of course not be t aken..—Frontier Times, April 28. Levies from all the districts have been ordered up as fast as they can be assembled and m,!rched, and it iA evident that the whole force of the colony i; instantly required to meet this enemy. Not an hour, not a moment shout! be lost, anti the word for all i.e silent and unlicA!ating obedience to oreers. . The whole colony must move upon this enemy, as one body, animated by one , ojl. All ranks and classes of men have now to fight for their own safety, as well as for, rescue ci the frontier districts: • The holy of Mr. J. Norden was recovered by a party thati gallantly moved from Graham's Town to the place where hei fell, for that purpose. No Kaffirs slt, wed themselves, theA party being nearly 200 strong. Col.,!!(;! Johnstone, with al party of the Cape Corps, joined them. .On Sunday last some farmers and a few of the Cape Corps fell in with some Kaffirs on the Ecca heights, and a smart skirmish commenced, in which five Kaffirs were shot dead, and sevei al wounded. None of the biters were hurt. Mr. O'Brien's party returned to town yesterday (Monday) from Committees. They report that the bush is literally swarming with Kaffirs. They were opposed by dense bodies, upon whom they kept up a continuous fire—at last taking up a position in a bush, which they maintained for three hours against overwhelming numbers. One of the party was accidentally shot through the head whilst raising his gun, for the purpose of firing ; this, and the loss of 9 horse shot by the Kaffirs were the only c asua l t i es. But fol. the unskilful firing of the Kaffirs, none of th e party conic; have escaped. Imme..ise herds of colonial cattle were being driven through, the Fish River on Sund a y an d M onday, by large bodies 01 Kaffirs. They passed close under the guns of the post, and suffered much loss from the grape and canister shot thrown in amongst them. The dead and wounded were instantly placed on pick bullocks and carried off. No heavy firing had been heard at Trompetter's up to yer terdav morning. Had Fort Peddie been attacked it must have been 'known at Trompetter's. A large herd of cattle reached town yesterday for the con- tractor Cawood from Somerset. A party of Botman's Kaffir who had fled from their chief with the missionary Dirt. escorted them. They fell in with no Kaffirs. Heavy firing was heard yesterday by the party whebrought in Captain .Nor4en's body; it was supp-sed by them to be ie the direction of Graham's Town.—F. Times. These events have all occurred in the neighlyourbood of Graham's Town, from which nearly all the twits had bee () withdrawn, or in Lower Albany, whieb was protected i tt front by a small force at Fort Peddle, &c. The Kaffirs' therefore, have avoided the troo;,s, and by interceptia.; _messengers, &c., have so far 'succeeded in keeping t h ,c Governor in ignorance of th e i r movements on his right 90" in his The burgher force was only beginning to arrive a t thifr scene of danger. The union of the troops and burghel! from the districts will soon change the scene, and with t"' favour of the Almighty the colony will be cleared of this d ed structive foe.
