SpoTTlswoonE, has at lengeth been attained. The Court of Exchequer, on Friday, pro nounced their unanimous judgment through the Lord Chief Baron, and that judgment and the rea sons therefore are perfectly decisive, as to the hitherto re.eata questio, the liability of the allottees of shares to contribute to the expenses of the abortive railway schemes. It will be seen that it fully bears out the anticipations that we have from time put forward with respect thereto, although no decision has yet been given in the other important case of WOOLMBR-.C. TOBY. The judgment of the Court of Exchequer is perfectly decisive as to that case also, and the several provisional committeemen must now prepare themselves to bear the entire ex penses of the abandoned undertakings, to withdraw from the numerous actions so rashly insti tuted paying to the defendants the costs thereof, and to make arrangements for the re turn of the full amount of the deposits to such of the, allottees as had, in pursuance of the demands made on them, paid the same without drawback or deduction of any kind. Few Hill be disposed to pity those who authorised the commencement of actions with the hope of extorting from the fears of the par ties interested that which they could not obtain from their justice. They did not do so without haying been clearly and explicitly warned as to the probable consequences to themselves likely to result from such a reckless course. On Friday, March the 20th; the verdict at Exeter was delivered, in the case of WooLmna c. TOBY. The following Monday we stated in The Sun the difficulties that existed ; and that we could not believe that the verdict could be allowed to stand. Nothwithstanding that caution not a day was lost by the acting managers in availing themselves of the apparent sanction afforded to their claims, and letters innume rable were forwarded to the several allottees, calling their attention to that case, which they said settled the question of their liability, and threatening im mediate proceedings for the full amount of the de posit unless a certain specified sum (and generally ss. additional for the cast of the letter of application) should be paid within a short time. On the 28th March The Sun contained an article clearly shOwing that no decision whatever had been given, that the important points involved in that case had been merely placed in train for an argument before the full Court, that it might receive the calm and de liberate consideration so essentially necessary to a sound conclusion, and we also pointed out the reason why judgment was nominally entered for the plain tiffs on the occasion, viz., that no injury , could be . thereby occasioned to any per son if the plaintiffs were wrong, whereas great hardship would be inflicted on them if right in their demand, and that the points had been ruled at Nisi Prius in favour of the defendant. We also showed why the allottees should not be held responsible fbr any portion of the preliminary expenses, if the un dertaking were not proceeded with, and stated the broad principle, " that where persons set a scheme on t 1 ,44 an d assume to be the managers of it, all the expenses incurred before the scheme is in actual operation must be sustained by them, if that scheme should afterwards be abandoned." It will be seen that the Lord Chef Baron in his judgment, quoted and approved of that principle, and founded an important part of his judgment thereon. We afterwards repeatedly urged the same subject, and called upon the directors and managers, who were lending their names to the commencement of litiga tion, by which their expenses and liabilities must be fearfully increased, to pause ere they plunged into such a difficult and doubtful course, and at least to await the final result of either of the two great cases. But in vain—" Quod Deus volt perdere, primp= dementat"—hundreds of actions were actually commenced; too many, terrified at the effect which such proceedings might have on their future prospects, were induced to effect com promises, and to pay large sums in order to escape from further annoyance; but a vast number, we have been assured, were through our state ments led to resist the unfounded demands, and have thus saved their property. The unseemly haste with which the proceedings were insti tuted, the urgency of the demands, and the threats with which they were attempted to be enforced, were in themselves sufficient to satisfy any one of ordinary sense, that the parties were themselves con scious of the weakness of their cause. The judg ment of the Court establishes that there was no part nership existing, inasmuch as the prospectua having held out that there were to be a certain number of shares, and a certain deposit on each; a smaller number only had been paid • upon, and on the authority of PITCHFORD v. DAVIS, where it was held that a party could not be considered liable as a partner unless he knew and sanctioned the deviation from the terms of the prospectus, and of NORKELLS 'V. CROSBY, already mentioned, no part nership could be said to exist between the parties. The Court also laid down the important rule, " that an allotment of shares in an abortive scheme is not a compliance with the application, which must be taken, of course, to have been for shares in a bona fide railway ; they then stated that there could be no pretence at all to retain any portion of that part of the deposit which was intended to meet the standing orders of Parliament, the ten per cent. on the amount of the shares, and they also stated that the 2s. 6d. per share, which was apparently demanded for the preliminary expenses, must be returned in full. Nothing can be clearer or more decisive on the entire point, We verily believe that there is not a single case of claim against an allottee that will not be governed thereby. W e may now congratulate the pers on ' threatened with p roceedings on a satisfactory mind beingtisfactory ter mination being put thereto, and on his relieved from the feverish anxiety he endured while the law was in an unsettled and _doubtful state ; and we do think that nothing more benefi c i a l could have happened to t he provisional committeema n hi mself than th the fallacious and unwarr an t e d h opes by e ix, takinghic away h he has hitherto been sustained, the enabling to procras tinate, he may thus be induced him to view his real positioninnaollioitrsgsetrern realities, may be sufficient to t e i x n t a r t i e c , ate but ii tak e imtoself frsounci certainty of any loss, however g t position. The hhsitseupsnpalesaan p deferred, which sickens the heart ; the habits of .idle ness, his means, will be far better reat than a may a t y he b h e op i e f or perhaps worse, which he may acquire during an an absence on the Continent, and the destruct . his professional business, which must necessarily be occasioned by the want of a master's eye and a master's superintendence. Having considered the precarious position of po litical parties just at the present juncture of the session, it is scarcely possible to resist the inclination to tarry for a moment upon one of the most remark able personalities with which Parliamentary discussion was perhaps ever interrupted ; and we are the more impelled to this course from the manner in which those personalities were met on Friday evening by the Prime Minister. It would be nothing less than impertinence to recapitulate the assertions of the as giant, Lord Clown Bwirizicr, inasmuch as those assertions have already attracted so universal a no tice, but especially inasmuch as they have been so wholly and triumphantly disproved by the illustrious man whose character they were evidently intended to blacken. We do not, indeed, ambition to be regarded as the panegyrists of Sir ROBERT PEEL—as far as he is entitled to pa negyric, his own political acts form his noblest eulogium. Neither do we aspire to the office of becoming the excusers of any statesman ; but, as honourable journalists and as conscientious commen tators upon the great internal and international movements of the age, it becomes our bounden duty to narrate facts in their original nakedness, and to point out the most rational inferences which a consideration of those facts evolve. When, there fore, we recognise the general jeopardy in which legislative matters are placed, and placed principally by the contemptible squabbles of party ; when u e perceive justice, and national benevolence, and mercy travestied, by being employed as masks, for the con cealment and for the realization of a petty revenge ; when we behold the amalgamation of individuals in one unique corps whose sympathies have in reality not the feeblest affinity for each other ; when we see the dig nity of the Senate compromised by recriminations, and the time of the public frittered away in the ut terance of personalities—some direct allusion to these circumstances becomes to us absolutely requisite. Such an allusion, moreover; is not of a barren and un • profitable character, as, from comparing the tone and the arguments of the different speakers upon these occasions, we may readily penetrate the motives which actuate the aggressors, and the integrity to which the aggressed can lay any just claim. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S rebuttal of the charges cast upon him by the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn is the more particularly significant from the fact of its Leing altogether decisive upon the many malig nant and graceless attacks which have been showered upon the Premier throughout the pending session. That the Prime Minister hunted Mr. CANNING to death scarcely required that elaboration of statement in which the former indulged to disprove ; the memorials of history had already settled that interesting episode in modern statesmanship to the satisfaction of every calm and reflective mind. Any reference to that portion of the Premier's defence would therefore be literally super fluous. It is in what is indicated by the subjoined paragraph, howdver, that our chief attention was occupied immediately upon its utterance. " I cannot understand," said Sir ROBERT PEEL, in conclusion, " I cannot understand how the Noble Lord—believing that I 11. d chased and hunted his noble relative to death, and without making any public or private intimation to me of those feelings—c✓nsented to accept me, nevertheless, as a Leader, and to call me his Right Hon. Friend 1" There is something withering in the sarcasm of that sentence—it is opening a window in the bosom of his accuser, such as the ancient philosopher once yearned for. Through the candour, the delicacy, and the simplicity of those unostentatious words the whole flimsiness of the imputation is divulged. One perceives that the origin of the accusation was something totally distinct from that of mere re verence for a departed relative, otherwise so many years would not have elapsed before that accusation was pronounced ; otherwise, the Noble Member for Lynn could scarcely have numbered himself during so many years among the political adherents of the man who had " hunted that same relative to death;" otherwise he could never have called that man, however others ise illustrious, his Right Honourable Friend. And all these things could never have been accomplished without the entire abne • gation of self—a supposition which Lord G. BENTINC with great reason would be the very first to repudiate. The aspersion must consequently have originated from some pressing and exciting senti ment of the moment, in the flush and unpremedita tion of which it must have been pronounced. From these reflections it becomes manifest, that however emphatic may be the declarations of politicians gifted with extreme excitability of temperament, a fair allowance must be made for the dimming haze of passion, that allowance must be subtracted, and the remainder placed only to the account of reality. Again, if so much must be conceded upon the matter of Mr. CANNING'S demise, may not just so much he conceded upon the matter of coercive measures towards Ireland ? May not this antagonism to the Ministerial policy be just as attributable to some mo mentary impulse of feeling rather than to any deep-rooted anxiety for the lenient legisla tion of the inhabitants of that island—the more so as upon the first reading of the Curfew Bill during this identical session many of its present fiercest op ponents were numbered amongst its supporters ? There was then a glimmer—a chance—a possibility of throwing out the obnoxious commercial measures : that possibility no longer exists, and on that account they may not unreasonably be charged with having fastened upon the Irish Bill as the readiest means of revenging themselves on the Ministry. Were we not justified in calling their behaviour a ruse ? A Berlin letter, in the Cologne Gazette, states in positive terms that the independence of Cracow is to be annihilated, even in name. The town is to be incor porated with Austria, but the other conditions agreed upon between the three Powers are not yet known. The writer adds—" It is incontestable that Prussia enters into the views of the two other Powers with great re gret ; hut, to induce her to concur, they cited a secret article in the Convention of Munchengratz, whereby Prussia, Austria, and Russia agreed to destroy the independence of this small state, if it continued to form the focus of Polish propagandism." The Augsburg Gazette states that the Government of Russian Poland has, in consequence of the recent insurrection, sent out of that country all the Prussian artisans and journeymen, even those who had regular passports. The prosecution commenced against the Com mandant of Ham and two of the gate-keepers, in con sequence of the escape of Prince Louts NAPOLEON, has been discontinued, and the only person to be brought to trial is Dr. CONNEAU. He will be tried by the Court of Assize of Amiens. The Commerce says, General MONTBOLON has just been pardoned, notwithstanding what the journals say to the contrary. He was to be set at liberty on Thursday night. The Ahbar, of Algiers, of the ith, informs us that the Governor- General left that place on the preceding day for Oran, in the Cameleon steamer. The Duke D'AUMALE left on the sth, for Tenez, in his way to France, in the Titan. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has a letter of the 31st ult. from Cracow, stating that M. KYBALSKI had been attacked and robbed on the high road in Galicia, and left with his arms and legs broken with flails ; that near Bochnea three landowners have been murdered by the peasants; and that, near Turnou, the wife of another land-owner was murdered as she was returning from Cracow, where her husband had died in prison. Prince WALDEMAR of Prussia, who was present at the Seikh war, arrived, with his suite, on the 4th instant, at Trieste. He was to proceed immediately to Berlin. Madrid papers of the 7th and Bth instant have been received. The news of the POPE'S death had created a great sensation in Madrid, as it would affect mate rially the negotiations now going on with the Court of Rome. Accounts from Portugal to the 3d state that the PALMELLA Cabinet had issued an annesty to political offenders, a decree for organising the National Guard, and an other for the dissolution of the Council of State. The PALMELLA Ministry was gradually ac quiring the confidence of the people. MADRID BOLSA, JUNE B.—The official bulletin quotes neither the Three 37. nor F ive per C ents. Ex change on London, Wehave received the Paris papers of F r id ay and Sat urdajr. On Thursday, i the Dijon a n d M ulhausen Railway Bill was passed n the Chamb er o f Peers; and in the Chamber of De p uties all the artic les e the budget of Algeria were voted; and on Fr iday the project of law itself , r elative to the extraordinar y credits for Algeria, was ad o p ted by a majority o f 215 to 17. Letters from Marseilles, of the 13th, state that serious troubles had occurred at Rome; that bodies f insurgents had paraded the streets, demanding a Constitution, and crying "Down with the priests ;" "No Papal Government." Collisions are stated to have taken place between the people and the troops both at Rome and at Ancona, and throughout Italy commotions were apprehended. The Duke DE FITZJAMES died at on Thurs day. The preparations for opening the Great North2rn Railway from Paris to Lisle, on Sunday, are repre sented by these papers as being on the most magni ficent scale. The Journal des Dibats publishes the following intelligence from Lisbon, dated June 2 : " Since the last collision between the garrison and popu lation of Lisbon, public tranquillity had not been disturbed. The provincial insurgents, who had marched upon Lisbon, appeared disposed to retrace their steps and return to their homes. Several measures had been agreed upon in the Council of Ministers, presided over by the Queen. A general and entire amnesty had been granted to all the insurgents of Torres Novas who had risen in 1842 against the Costa Cabral Ministry, after the reestablishment of the charter of Don Pedro. They had been reinstated in their property and offices, the decree authorising the Government to re move from their residence the public functionaries whose opposition it apprehended had been revoked. This decree had excited a great animosity throughout the country against the Costa Cabral Ministry. The law on the Council ef State, which converted that body into an administrative council, had been suspended until the decision of the new Cortes. Several juntas had sent in their adhesion to the new Cabinet, which, having confirmed in their offices most of the civil governors appointed by the insurgents, lied em powered them to dissolve the Administrative Council in the provinces, and to replace them by temporary commissioners until others be chosen by the electors. M. da Silva Passos, former Minister of Finance, and a very popular man among the insurgents, had been invested with the command of the strong place of Santarem. The Colonel of the Municipal Guard of Lisbon has been superseded in his post, as well as several other officers and functionaries known for their de votion to the Costa Cabral Administration. All the mea sures of the new Government appeared to have given satis faction to public opinion, and considerably allayed the popular effervescence. .Nevertheless, the insurgents continue to de mand the re-organisation of the National Guard, which the Ministry was well disposed to accord. It was then actually occupied in revising the existing law, which had occasioned many abuses. The financial crisis continued, money was exceedingly scarce, and the Ministry will only find re sources when the Cortes have met. It had authorised the company called Confianea National, as well as the bank, to suspend payments during three months. That company had been instituted for the purpose of bidding for the Govern ment loans." The Constitutionnel gives the following relative to the mission confided to Mr. HOOD at La Plata " Mr. Hood has received from the French and English Governments a special mission and full powers to arrange the affairs of La Plata. At first M. Guizot refused to con sent to the power demanded for Mr. Hood, but after a long correspondence he at last yielded. From the plan adopted it is much to be feared that the only persons who will derive any profit from this mission will be Rosas, Oribe, and Mr. Hood himself. Mr. Hood rem a ined at onte Video, first as Consul of England, and afterwards as Consul-General. He was obliged to withdraw immediately after the treaty of October 29, 1840. He went to England, where he did not cease intriguing for six years in favour of his protegee. His incessant endeavours in favour of a man who has become the right arm of Rosas, and like him sullied with crimes and blood, ought to have opened the eyes of the Cabinet of St. James's. Let any one who can explain the sympathy of M. Guizot for this bitter enemy of our country. Will M. Guizot deny the facts imputed to Mr. Hood ? If necessary, all the city of Monte Video corid bear witness to them. M. de Ma reuil, whose conduct we have pointed out, has received orders to proceed to Buenos Ayres to assist Mr. Hood. It is even said, that the two Governments have authorised Mr. Hood, if necessary, for the accomplishment of his mission, to disavow the acts of their present agents, particularly in what concerns the navigation of the Parana," The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Saturday at 83f. sc. ; the Five per Cents., at 120 f. 25c. ; the Orleans Railroad shares, 1,248 f. 75c.; Rouen, 1,016 f 25e. ; ilavre,74a.; Great Northern, 731. 50e. ; A vignon, 8771.50 c. ; Vierzon, 6221. 50c.; Bordeaux, 600 f, ; Boulogne, 485 f. ; Paris and Str,isburg, 503 f. 75c. ; Tours and Nantes, 516 f. 25c; Pails and Lyons, 540 f.; Lyons and Avignon Definitive, 515 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette Derinitives, 5091. 15c. ; SpauLth Actives, 31 ; Spanish Three per Cents. 37 4f.

DUTCH MAIL. WEDIAR, JUNE s.—The presence of his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, gives great pleasure to the inhabitants of Weimar, who crowded about the palace in order to zee the august father of the Prin cess, whose affability has gained all their hearts. There is a constant succession of fetes, and yesterday we were most agreeably surprised by the unexpected arrival of the King of Prussia. In the evening their Majesties and the whole of their ' (=r and ducal family went to th e theatre, when Schiller's William Tell was performed by the King's desire. To-day the King of Prussia and the Netherlands, with the Grand Duke, and the Hereditary Grand Duke went to Weissenfels, to be present at the opening of the railway from Thuringa , to GRONINGEN, JITIVE B.—WP -rveci ve from all quar ters the most favourable accounts of the state of the crops ; the fears that were entertained respecting the disease in the potatoes, are much diminished, and this fine weather will, perhaps, wholly put an end to all signs of an evil which has caused so much apprehension. THE HAGUE, JUNE 10.—His Majesty is expected to return to the Hague on Friday or Saturday next, from his visit to Weimar. _ --- ROTTERDAM, JUNE 10.—The Rotterdam journal gives very long and detailed accounts of the regatta of the Royal Netherlands Yacht Club, which took place to-day on the Maas. The weather being extremely fine vast numbers of spectators assembled to witness the animated scene, the interest of which was heightened by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Orange, and Princes Alexander and Henry, the latter of a horn distributed the prizes. THE HAGUE, JUNE 11.—The Government of the Dutch possessions in India is preparing a grand expedi tion against Bali. At the departure of the last packet boat from China, a body- of 3,000 men of all arms were assembling at Batavia, Sourabaya, and Samarang, and was to sail on the 15th of March, on board a numerous flotilla of transports, gun boats, and steamers, among which was the steam frigate Bruno, Capt. Smit Vanden Broecke. A melancholy disaster has just occurred at Flush ing. One Roe! Stales, a labouring man, and his wife had gene from home to their work, leaving five children under the care of the mother of Stales, a woman of great age. This woman went out to fetch some milk, leaving the five children by themselves. Sud denly the house was seen to be in flames, which spread with such rapidity, that notwithstanding the prompt aid of the neighbours, it was impossible to save the poor children, and all five perished in the flames.

There was a fair demand for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur day. Sales, 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were steady. The private accounts received from the United States in a commercial point of view are of an unfavourable na ture. The trade and commerce of the country had been much impeded by the war with Mexico, as shipments of produce were made with hesitation, and at a risk that very few parties appeared disposed to encounter, to sag nothing of the increased rates of insurance. The exports o. Cottoa to Europe continued to exhibit a further falling otl as compared with what they were at the correspondink period of last year. It appears 'by the accounts from Canada, that the Go vernor-General had taken the most active steps to call out and embody the militia to its full effective force. Other mi litary preparations were in progress at the date of our pros, nt advices, so that it is pretty apparent that should a collision arise with the United States upon the Oregon, or upon any other Question, the colonial frontier will be well guarded. Volunteers, in the first place, are to be solicited to make up the quota of force required. It not a sufficient number offer, then unmarried men under forty are first to be ballotted for, then un married men above 40, and if then a sufficient corps be not raised, married men of the first-class. The weather had taken a favourable change after the continuance of rains and colds, which had impeded very considerably vegetation; the temperature had become summer-like. Quebec was in a most bustling state, not less than 281 vessels having arrived in port, being an excess of 102 over the number en tered inwards at the corresponding period of last year. The Consol Market opened rather flatly this morning, but still the sales have not been by any means extonsive, although money has continued to be in increased request, owing to the requirements of parties having large amounts to pay, in the shape of duties, as the financial quarter arrives more nearly to a termination. After being done at 95 1 ,i, the price for the next settlement is now 9Pa ex. div. A few sales < f the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been made, at 96 3 / 4 to 97 ; of the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities at 95 1 ,A, and of 011 South Sea An nuities at 93 1 ,5. The premium upon Exchequer. bills has ruled from lie. to 15s. A good deal of business has been transacted in the Foreign Funds this morning, this being the settling-day for the halt= monthly account. The price of Portuguese Four per Cents. has rallied from 45' to 461%, and for the account to 47. Not a bargain was made to-day in Spanish Actives, but the Three per Cents. were quoted at 36.4. The Dutch Four per Cents. were at. 91%; the Brazilian Five per Cents. at 82. The Mexican Five per Cents. have fluctuated from 27 1 / 2 to 28 1 /, ; Grenada Bonds from 20 1 / 2 to 21, the former rate being now the market value. The North Staffordshire Railway scrip has fallen to-day from 4 1 ,4 to Pi premium, but the Welsh Midland is up a shade. In the other scrip and shares the variations have been very trifling; indeed to-day a more than ordinary amount of dealings has taken place in the shares of foreign lines. Boulogne and Amiens have been done at 11 1 / 2 ; Central of Spain at 1%; Dutch Rhenish at 7%; Northern of France at 14%; and Paris and Orleans at 4i 34. BRITISH FUNDS, 'UNE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

A gentleman In the neighbour hood who hal a pint and half bottle of castor oil, asked his servant to bring It to him, when he told him it had all been used at table for steads, he having from time to time filled the dinner castor: with it, believing. it, from the label, to be intended for that purpose.—Yar mouth Adrertiser. CURIMIS CIRCUMSTANCE.—For some months pre vtous to this week, Mr. Worsley, butler to George Sowerby, Esq., of Ketton, felt considerable pain in different parts of his body without being able to ascertain the cause. A short time ago he was playing at cricket, and on account of the pain he experienced when the game was finished he fancied he had sprained his right arm. The remedies usually adopted in such cases were accordingly applied, but without any beneficial effect. The pain hi the arm increased until at length the sufferer could use neither his arm nor his fingers. In this state he called one elsy this week upon Mr. Jackson, surgeon, of this town ;who, after minutely examining the arm, discovered some thing unusual under the skin a short way below the elbow. He then 'aid open the skin and took from beneath it a common needle. Imme diately the needle was removed the patient was relieved, and had the full use of his arm and fingers. In what way the unwelcome intruder got into his arm ho knows not, but the medical gentleman is of opinion that he must at some time or other have swallowed it.

MURDER.—The Kilkenny Moderator of Saturday morning contains the following account of a deliberate assassination, in the presence of four persons, two of them men, companions of the victim, yet neither attempted to arrest the perpetrator of the foul deed. It is some gratification' to believe he is in custody :—" At about eleven o'clock on the night of Thursday last, as a farmer, named James Fennell, residing near CaStlecomer, was returning home from the fair of Kilkenny, he was shot dead by a low-sized man, wearing a dark frock coat, who immediately crossed the ditch and ran away in the direction of Castlecomer.

MITCHAM, WITH A. .Mvxx, Eset.—On Thursday an'l Friday this match was played at the Oval, and a finer exhibition of the science of the game has seldom been witnessed. The ground was crowded on each day, and the only drawback to the gratifi cation produced by the ..proceeding was that, towirds the latter part of the second day;' When it was found it would be impossible to finish the match that evening, it was ascer tained that, in consequence of previous arrangement, and the following day being Saturday, there was no chance of the match being played out. The result is, that all bets Oil v-11) - ••141104 these upon the first innings are in favour of the Mitcham harken:. The hotting, of which there was a great deal, varied, as will readily be supposed, very much. At one point of the ,game 25 to 5 was taken on Mitcham, but at the moment when the last of the Sur rey wickets fell, the odds had turned round to 3 to 1 in their favour, that is, against Mitcham obtaining the 121. The score was as follows :—Surrey Club—First innings, 96; se cond innings, 168. Mitcham—First innnings. 144. Gravesend Town, with Pilch, Adams, and Redgate v. Islington Albion, with Dean, Dorrington, Hillyear, and Lillywhite.—This match was played at the Copenhagen ground on Thursday and Friday, and after much good play terminated in favour of the Albion, with seven wickets standing. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE MATCH, FRIDAY..--The game was resumed this morning, when the Cantabs, who had scored sixty-one on Thursday in their second hands, ran it up to 116, leaving the Oxonians eighty-nine to win. This number they succeeded in obtaining, and eventually won the match with three wickets to go down. The batting of Mr. Long, on the part of the Cambridge, was deserving the highest praise; after scoring thirty-nine, he triumphantly brought out his bat. Mr. C. Ridding's batting, also, on the part of the Oxonians, told well on the score. The play of both sides throughout the day was capital, but the latter ex • celled in that great and requisite point, viz., the fielding. In other respects they were equally matched. THE GRAND DUKE CONSTAN TINE AT PORTSMOUTH. SUNDAY, Juice 14.—The grand Party at the Admiralty house, given by the Gallant Admiral in, honour of his illus trious visitor, broke up at about half-past one o'clock. Hi. Royal Highness the Grand Duke danced the first quadrille with the beautiful Miss Byng. daughter of the Hon. H. D. Byng, R.N.; he afterwards danced two other quadrilles, and retired to his sleeping apartment at twelve o'clock. His Highness the Grand Duke, Vice Admiral Lulka, Baron Kender, and Captain Ajensenap, who have all since their arrival been the guests of the gallant Sir Charles Ogle, con cluded their visit on Saturday, their domestics, trunks, and luggage being sent off to the Ingermanland. The Grand Duke and the Vice-Admiral will, however, dine again at the Admiralty-house on Monday. On Saturday morning the Grand Duke, with Mr. de Berg ami several officers of the Russian squadron, went over, in the Admiral's barge, to the Rol at Clarence Yard, and pro ceeded by the half-past nine train to Southampton, for whicl, place, to meet the illustrious foreigners, the Lightning had proceeded. _ _ At eleven his Excellency the Baron de Brunnow, accom panied by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Captain Chads, ant Mr. George Morris, went out in the Comet steamer, and pro- ceeded to Cowes, where the Grand Duke and party joined in the Lightning. At half-past five, the Lightning, with Sir Charles Ogle and several Russian officers on board, returned into Portsmouth, ieaving his Royal Highness the Grand Duke, Vice-Admiral Lulka, and several officers to make a tour of the island, visiting Carisbrook. Appuldurcomb, and Ventnor, sleeping at the latter plzce, and returning by Ryde on Sunday (this morning) to the Ing,rmanlend, The Grand Duke has declined the invitation of th, " naval officers in commission" to dine on board the Victory on Monday next. He and Admiral Lulka will honour S r Charles Ogle with their company on that day; but the cap tains of the ships forming the Russian squadron, and a number of officers, will dine on board the Victory, where a large party is expected, Captain Pasco and Captain Chads presiding. On Tuesday the squalron will, it is said, sail for Cron stadt, where the presence of the Grand Duke is required at the marriage of his sister, the Grand Duchess Olga. We understand that his Royal Highness the Grand Duke has been highly delighted with his visit to the gallant admi ral, Sir Charles Ogle, and that he "has expressed himself much pleased with the attention and courtesy with which he has been treated by the officials and every person with whom he has come in contact. He has seen everything in this superb arsenal, and has frequently taken excursions on horse, visiting Nelson's monument, on Pertsdown Hill, and other places. _ . During the time his Highness has been staying at Ports mouth it has been thought necessary to have two officers an :I three men belonging to the Loudon detective police force down, who, dressed in plain clothes, have, have been continually on duty when his Highness was moving about. We conclude this precaution was taken in consequence of the residence of some few Poles in this locality. We think this precaution was totally unnecessary, more especially as the Grand Duke had a :art of body guard in his domestics, and the Poles residing here are a quiet and most respectable set of people.

By Samuel Sharpe. As the author of this noble volume very judiciously of s ryes in his prerace, after the histories of the Jews, of Greece, and of Rome, the next in importance among c the ancient empires of the globe is, without any ques• Lion, that of Egypt. From that wonderful and myste rious land we have derived our chemical and mathema tical knowledge ; from the emulation excited by its primitive inhabitants first emerged the arts of architec ture and of sculpture ; to its political systems we can almost trace the root of our legislative learning ; and the original texture of our philosophy, our poetry, and (or practical studies have derived their colouring from parsing to us originally from the country , of the Nile. When we reflect, moreover, that the obelisk of Hello ro!is was in existence at the remote date of Abrahaaen migration—that the colossal figures and tumuli which still excite our awe amidst the sands of Africa have braved destruction during four thousand years—when we remember that Plato strayed among its acacia boughs, and that Pythagoras has strode upon its beach —that Thebes was in such glory before the birth of Homer, and is in such ruin now—that the Pharaohs battled with the prophets, and that Alexander there purposed the erection of a city which should continue for ever and for ever the capital of the world, bearing his name to the most remote posterity—when we t urn, , moreover, to the deeds of prowess achieved by the ET peror Napoleon, under the shadow of the Pyrsinu s ' and then bel.old the stability, and prosperity, and g2 ( V ., of the prrsent government, under the jurisdiction of Wet illustrious oid man, Mahomet Ali—it is impos,ible not to rtgaid with an exceeding interest the narration of the History of Egypt. Mr. Sharpe has seized upon a noble subject for the employment of his historical learn ing and of his literary powers ; and nobly has he accom polished his endeavour. THE MILITARY STRENGTI-1 OF THE UNITED STATES. The military strength tit the United States is usua f far overrated ; we are blinded by her immense natural resources, and do not consider that these resources, from want of a sufficient population, are only to a small ex tent developed, and from the weakness of the Central Government can be but imperfectly employed. We rather estimate America by what she may possibly be at some future distant period, than by what she actually is at this moment. The most exaggerated ideas are entertained of her naval power ; we fancy her a rival of the English. The American navy in 1845 consisted of the follow ing vessels t—eleven ships of the line, viz., one of 120 guns, seven of 80, and three of 74 ; seventeen frigates, mostly of 44 guns, with a total of 73 8 guns ; thirty four smaller vessels, of 30 to 6 guns ; two steam-boats of 500 horse-power, one of 220 horse-powers and one of 120 horse-power, total 1,360 horse-power. The American fleet in 1845 was manned with 6,1 00 T' men, of which only 960 were American born, the z llfl J9 -- "" of the remainder being English. In this statement, are comprised the unseaworthy - vessels. The greatest o the Americans could send to sea within one month be in g five ships of the line and six first-class frigates. n°l" ever, ever, America has important sources for her navy in h 000 er numerous merchant-ships and steamers, employing rce 63,000 men, of which, however, above 40,000 are born Engishmen. The English royal and merchant tool employs 288,630 men. A great merchant navy can ow,' he:of importance when backed by a strong war navy, which the seamen brought up in the former can be wal e available. The American army in 1844 consi s t e d of 8,616 me n e ; this, in proportion to the t o tal p o p u l a ti on , i s but 1 -22 , 7 - the French army, and 1-26 of the Bavarian army though the Americans have done much, by their miissart. school at Westsoint, to diffuse military science; and though they have, even in time of peace, a dispron: tionately large number of o ffi cers, yet are these in suhl eient to give the necessary readiness esti skill to ito army suddenly and largely increased in time of sol r l ' Of a sufficiency for the militia, rated at 1,7 BQ' or 9.2 per cent. of the population of 1844, 18.9 84 1,.., inhabitants, or of any supply of available i des or artillery fer even the greatest necessity, 11° n i r d, can be entertained. Without these, in open g r° e -- like the whole coast land of the States is througuoug Napoleon's guard itself could have done nothing, 113° ,,, c less a militia, with only a sprink ing of military kr __l ledge and forms. The prepon lerance of sg.rie lli u fi r e % population will, however, cause this militia to here any :us s ph) sical appearance, containing many strong , r b men, and also, what cannot be too highly prize d. 113 t h e of them will be practised marksmen. Still, the usore physical condition of the army is set forth, t he /Dore the total want of organic homogeneity felt, as als principal quality of a regular army—subord ination ' _ This will also be increased by the unrestrained freest:en of the Americans in their civil life. t, rrsi gard No illusions ought, however, to be allowed wit to the number of militia that can be brought toget._lees Male labour is there scarce. At harvsst-time the mill !„ will disband itself, and for such periods the enemy wil l reserve their chief attacks. One of the greatest obstacles to a good and especially' long-enduring conduct of a war. is the want of a strong central Governmei , t, which can dispose unrestrictedly of the military resources cf the confederation. The diffe rent states of the Union will feel the burden of the war in very various proportions, especially the states on the sea board, as navigation and trade will be at a stand still. Among these in particular,• whither the war will be ac tracted by the thicker population, the number of large, rieh towns, and perhaps also by a commercial jealousy of its flourishing manufactures. The sudden fall of all sorts of paper in consequence of a war, as well as the change in the . . also ofthaprecions metals and all other articles, will cause a change in the money-market and state of credit, that would be felt throughout the Union, but most in New . England, as the seat of the greatest trading capitals- The Western States, on the contrary, will only feel the war in its effects of a stoppage of the sale of their ,P 11 )" duce, and increase in the price of manufactured gemr• The successes of the Americans in the war of inde , pendence, as also in the war of 1812-15, have caused the Americans greatly to overrate their own military strength. They ascribe these successes to their strength, while, in fact, they only resulted from a rare combination of fortunate circumstances. In the war of independence the capitulation of Burgoyne at Saratoga was the foundation of all subsequent successes, by giving occasion to the alliance with France. The disparity in the talents of the respective commanders, the French alliance, and the then pending war, in which England was engage(' with France, Spain and Holland, were all causes of the success of the American arms. The war in 1815 showed repeatedly in the highest degree the little dependence to be . placed on the militis, and proved that quadruple superiority cannot compee" sate for radical deficiencies in a military power. Bow' they seldom speak in America of the numberless defeats sustained by the Americans in their own states and in Canada ; they only sp( ak of Jackson's victory ill New Orleans. General Jackson would not, however, have been so successful before New Orleans but for the delay and errors of the English commanders. The chief stratagetie ide - a of England v in - 1812 waif to attack the la , gest and most popular cities that could ontribute most to the war-taxes, and to waste the sur ounding inhabited country. As the prevailing winds .n the American coast are favourable to voyages from north to south, and vice versa, these expeditions would :ollow quick upon one another, before the Americans, , •oncentrated on one point, could be again dispersed. These tactics will serve for another war, as troops would be quickly transported from one part of the ,oust to another with ease and speed, and on the other side, the importance of the coast towns has enormously :ncreased since that period. New York in 1844 had 431,000, Philadelphia 310,000, Baltimore 161,000, and Boston 118,000 inhabitants. The United States have certainly a great number of seam-ships, but compared to England but few large sea going steam-ships ; they are also wanting in means of nrmam-nt and practised men for the marine and-ar -ttlery service. Nor are those procurable endowed with hat obedience and endurance in danger peculiar to die etplinsd troops. The American river boats might cer ainly be fitted for sea by widening the keels, and other wise strengthening them, but their mode of construction, Ind the weakness of tht it machines, would unfit them for ,earl ke purposes, or speed in a heavy sea. , In spite of their disproportionately small means of re. , istance, the Americans, blinded by their cheaply gained 41ory in the wars of 1776 and 1812-15, persist in chal lenging the English by their cbichanery and rhodomon- What wouldeb'e) pbpecoormteed when the tade of all kinds.

The real causes of quarrel do not lie in Oregon, nor in Texas, nor in Mexico, tor in Canada, but in'the ever increasing demands of the Americans. But if England must strike the blow, it will be boldly and.deciswely struck, that all may -be over between one cotton especially England refuses merchant and another. Some fine morning we shall read in the papers that an English " experimental squadron" has destroyed the American fleet or bom barded New York. The south and east will clamour for peace ; the west, whom no red=coats can hint, will not yield, but will probably refuse to pay. The notion of America's present military strength will then burst like a soap-bubble.—Augsburg Gazette. SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY AT GREENWICH.--0/1 Saturday an inquest was held at the residence of Captain Fowle, of Myrtle-place, Greenwich, to take into consideration the death of Miss Jane Grant Wilkinson, aged 30 years, who committed suicide.
