To-day the officers of the Queen's Household will be appointed at the Privy Council, at Bucking ham Palace, the present Great Officers of State con tinuing at present to fulfil their respective duties, Earl Fortescue, it is expected, will be the Lord Steward of the Household, vice the Earl of Liver pool ; and Lord Spencer the Lord Chamberlain, in the room of Lord Delawarr. Not only are very excellent auguries discoverable in the avowed principles of the RUSSELL Adminis tration, but the improvement and prosperity of Great Britain is, to our thinking, assured by the aggrega tion of talent and the community of sympathies which characterise the present Cabinet. Since the publication of the Prime Minister's official address to his constituency his colleagues have severally proclaimed their intentions after a similar fashion : Lord PALMERSTON with a delightfully undiplomatic distinctness ; Lord MORPETH with a generous and even chivalrous enthusiasm of tone ; Lord EBBING TON in a manner not unworthy of his progenitor ; Sir THOMAS WILDE with a presumptive allu sion to his Parliamentary future; and Sir Joust CAM HODHOUSE with a confident re ference to his Parliamentary past. Were we indeed to conjecture the political consequences of the new Ministry simply from the avowals and the fore gone behaviour of its different members, we should unquestionably be justified in indulging in a most propitious vaticination. Happily, however, we are not restricted to Inertly hypothetical auguries like these; our prophecies may be based upon something infinitely more substantial ; its foundations are not theoretically auspicious—they are solid golden facts. What, for example, can be uttered in depreciation of the distinguished intellects who will preside over the destinies of our beloved country ? Can the talent of the RusszLL Administration be carped at with even a semblance of propriety ? Is it not singularly prodigal both in natural and acquired abilities ? can it not boast some of our most illustrious states men, many of our most astute diplomatists, several of our brightest orators, and the most accomplished de bater in Parliament? Does not the catalogue of this Administration enumerate men remarkable for forensic genius, rhetorical snergy, and deliberate judgment— men already celebrated for their legislative achieve ments, or for the dignified position they have assumed to themselves in literary or administrative depart ments, as historians or as members of the English Government, as Secretaries of State or as elevated critics ? It would be immeasurably ridiculous to quibble at observations like these when such authorities can be adduced as RUSSELL, PALMERSTON, CAMPBELL, HOBHOUSE, MACAULAY, MORPETH, COTTENHAM, Susan, and their colleagues! In that galaxy of talent we possess a guarantee of the fitness of the new Cabinet to regulate the inter nal and external relations of this gigantic empire, and of the discriminating generosity which will direct the ameliorative measures for the introduction and accomplishment of which the whole population are now so sanguine and so expectant. A guarantee of the Ministerial ability and conscientiousness is af . forded by that galaxy of talent—but not by that ga laxy of talent alone. A still more noble, more em phatic, and more encouraging assurance is given of the wisdom and liberality which will preside over the councils of the RUSSELL Cabinet, and that assurance is none other than the broad and comprehensive sen timents which have influenced the First Lord of the Treasury in the selection of his colleagues. As we have already specified, Lord JOHN RUSSELL evinced his intense aversion to anything like party aggran disement or the instalment of a faction (whether such a faction might be christened Tory, Whig, Radical, or Conservative), and that on the first moment of his summons to form an Administration it was his am bition to accomplish a wholesome fusion or amalga mation of such political sections as had been formerly repellant to each other. Instigated by these aspira tions, overtures were made to insure the official co operation of such Noblemen as the ex-President of the Board of Trade and the ex-Secretary fur Ireland, the rejection of which overtures is already as familiar to the public as, upon reflection, it appears to be judi cious. Nevertheless, though his admirable and general policy was thwarted in that particular direction, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has, by his , übsequent nomina tions to office, placed the liberality of his Government and the generosity of his intentions beyond all possible suspicion. He has disdained the promptings of con ventional prejudice, insular prepossessions, and reli gious partialities; he has acted upon those funda mental principles upon which arose the gloriousßeform and Catholic Emancipation Bills ; he has kept pace with that civil and religious tolerance for which the present generation will in future ages he regarded as so memorable ; and, in doing so, Lord Joust RUSSELL has ensured to him self the earnest and lasting attachment of all classes of people in the British dominions. Amongst the members of his Government it will be especially observed that no invidious dis tinctions are drawn between men of dif ferent religious opinions; and, in accordance with that rational and dignified policy with which the name of the new Prime Minister has been so long and so intimately associated, several eminent men of the Roman Catholic persuasion have not, on that account, been deemed un worthy of becoming his associates and of serving their common country. By acting in this manner Lord JOHN has demonstrated that his Cabinet is con ducted on the grand and humanizing principle of civil and religious liberty; and by so doing he has, more over, rendered the inaugurative act of his Administra tion the medium of performingjustice towards Ireland. For these reasons, and from the noble competition which must now ensue between a man who spoke with reference to that island as Sir R. PEEL did in his retiring oration, and a man who acts as Lord JOHN RUSSELL has acted at the very first instant of his coming into power, we can already recognise the dawn of social reorganization, domestic improvement, agricultural prosperity, manufacturing activity, and agrarian justice to Ireland. " Her star is but rising while others have set!" Nor are the Minis terial arrangements the only testimony of the return of peace and happiness to that hitherto distracted and neglected country. As it is now tolerably certain that our beloved SOVEREIGN will, during the course of a brief period, pay her long deferred visit to Ireland, and that throughout the royal progress that august Lady will be attended by a dignitary of the empire holding a community of faith with its Roman Catholic population, the liberality, and saga city, and wisdom of the present Administration re ceive a material assurance. May the policy of that Government, with reference to the other multiple grievances which still rankle in the social system, equal the benignity and justice which we are so san guine it will display towards Ireland.

The Ministerial arrangements as to the legal ap pointments in Ireland will be exceedingly popular throughout that country. The new Lord Chancellor, during the time he filled the important situation of Chief Baron of the Exchequer, gained for himself golden opinions from all classes, shades, and varieties .., 4 --- of politicians. His brethren of the bar, many of whom felt offended at his promotion to the high judicial station he was selected to fill, conceiving that he had not attained so high a position as an advocate as to warrant his appointmentoverespaeneddileo, ) induced to arrive at a different conclusion, JUL yield their warmest approbation to the sound judg. .', Y 8, ment, eminent legal acquirements, close and zealous application to keep up that legal knowledge, and the THE NEW MINISTRY, kind and patient urbanity to the junior bar, evinced The members of the new Ministry are entering on by him on every occasion. It was soon discovered that their official duties at all the Government offices. the Chief Baron had been sadly underrated, that few hail given him credit for the extraordinary talents Lord Palmerston and the Hon. E. J. Stanley have he was found to possess, that he gave every promise commenced their duties at the Foreign-office, as of becoming one of the most able and learned judges Secretary and Under-Secretary; Lord Auckland and that ever graced the judicial bench—a promise which the Hon. William Cowper have assumed office at the it may be said he has fulfilled to the utmost extent. Admiralty, the former as First, and the l a tt er as one Hi s case was i n some degree the converse of that of of the Junior Lords. The O'Conor Dc. n h as at , the celebrated Irish judge mentioned by Sir JONAH tended at the Treasury as one of the Junior Lords..

Horning .. 49 minutes after 12. I Evening .. 17 minutes after 1 42 5 1 " • IP fip, w r h F, had succeeded to the ermine that he exhibited his extraordinary powers, or was justly estimated by his professional brethren. The Lord Chancellor entered Trinity College, Dublin, in the year 1811, and while there gave evidence rather 'of a sound general know ledge than of extraordinary brilliancy ; he, however, passed through with much credit to himself, having obtained several honours during his career. He was called to the bar in the year 1818, and it being unusual at that time for Irish students to study at chambers in this country, he was so fortunate as to obtain the entrée into the chambers of the present Judge PERRIN, than which it would be impossible to find a school more calculated to teach a sound and thorough knowledge of law. Mr. BRADY exhibited the utmost perseverance, and soon obtained the cha racter of a hardworking and rising young man. His brother ; Sir NICHOLAS WILLIAM BRADY, was one of the Dublin Corporation, then the hotbed of Orangeism, where none but Tories and sticklers for Protestant ascendancy could have a chance of ad mission. It might, therefore, have been supposed that Mr. BRADY would have professed similar political principles, but, fortunately for himself and the public, he took a more liberal and enlightened view of affairs. On the breaking up of the short-lived PEEL Minis try, in 1834, Mr. PERRIN was appointed Attorney- General, and through his recommendation Mr. BRADY was appointed law adviser at the Castle, in the place of the late Attorney- General, Mr. GREENE, who had just re signed the office. In the discharge of his official duties he gave the greatest satisfaction, being remark able for the promptitude and decision with which he gave his opinions. Never doubting or hesitating as to the course to be adopted, he gave plain directions, which could not be •mistaken or misunderstood. On the death of the late Sir WILLIAM M‘Mauort, Sir MICHAEL O'LOCHLIN was appointed Master of the Rolls, and the Attorney-General (RrcHAuns) to the vacant Barony of the Exchequer. The Soli citor-General (WOLFE) became Attorney-General, and it being a part of the policy of the then Irish Go• vernment to have, as far as practicable, a Protestant and a Roman Catholic filling the situations of the two principal Law Officers of the Crown, the Solicitor- Generalship was offered to Mr. BRADY, with the un derstanding that he would yield to the claims of Mr. BALL, andconsent to wave his privilege of promotion in his favour. Accordingly Mr. BALL was soon afterwards appointed Attorney-General over his head, arid shortly afterwards a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, on which occasion Mr. BRADY became Attorney-General, with Mr. PIGOT, who had formerly succeeded him as law adviser at the Castle, as Solicitor-General. On the death of the Chief Baron WOLFE, the claims of Baron RICIIARDS and Judge BALL to the vacant office were strongly urged and considered very evenly balanced—so nearly so, that it is said that the Lord-Lieutenant declined giving one the preference over the other, and, con sequently, the Attorney-General was promoted to the Chief Barony. As we have already stated, this appointment at first created considerable dissatisfac tion to the bar in general, but the feeling was speedily changed for the most perfect approbation, and there is now a universal feeling of delight at the well merited promotion wnich has so justly placed an eminent Irish lawyer in his proper position at the head of the Irish bar—a place, be it remembered, that was gained by no political intrigue, Parliamentary influence, or underhand work, but simply from the just appreciation of his talents, undoubted integrity, and impartiality. There is no other appointment which could be hailed with such unanimity by men of all varieties of political feeling. The new Chief Baron, Mr. PIGOT, was called to the bar in the year 1826. Before being called he had studied for many years at chambers, in Lon don, being one of the first students for the Irish bar who adopted that course, which, partly owing to his great success, has now become almost universal. His talents and legal ac quirements procured him immediate practice, and in a very short time he was looked on as one of the most rising men at the junior bar, and his at tainment of the highest ranks of the profession was confidently prophecied, a prediction which has been fully verified by his subsequent career. Mr. PIGOT was appointed law adviser at the Castle, on the pro motion of Mr. BRADY, and subsequently succeeded him as Solicitor-General, and afterwards as At torney- General, as he now does as Lord Chief Baron. Mr. PIGOT entered the House of Commons as Member for Clonmel. He favour ably distinguished himself in Parliament, his elo quence being very great and his manner most per suasive. After vacating the office of Attorney- General, he adopted the rather unusual course of re turning to his circuit. Such a proceeding might have been opposed, but Mr. PIGOT was universally , popular with his circuit brethren ; his kind and conci liating manner, and the friendly regard he manifested on all occasions for the junior members, having gained him the cordial esteem and respect of all the bar, many of whom, although opposed to him in politics, would have gladly hailed his elevation to the bench, which he was so well qualified to adorn. His promo tion will be extremely popular both at the bar and through the country. Mr. MooRE, the new Attorney-General, is a man of large private fortune; he had been originilly of Tory principles, but having yielded to the signs of the times, and arrived at sounder political views, he was appointed Solicitor-General shortly before the advent of the PEEL Ministry to office in 1841. He has long been looked on as one of the principal Chancery barristers, but unlike his great rival (Sergeant WARREN), who alone equalled him in extent of business, did not confine himself to equity practice. He has repeatedly received the highest compliments from the late Lord Chancellor SUGDEN, who, it must, be admitted, was by no means inclined to pay them, if not fully deserved. The Solicitor-General, Mr. MONAIIAN, obtained the science gold medal in Trinity College, Dublin, where he had obtained the highest honours all through his undergraduate course. He also got into immediate practice at the bar, where he has since highly distinguished himself. He succeeded Mr. PIGOT as law adviser at the Castle, which has generally proved the stepping stone to the bench. His appointment, like the others, will be hailed with much approbation, and no one can say that he is not eminently qualified for the discharge of the duties of the important office for which he has been selected. Accounts from Rome, of the 28th, state that Cardinal Gizzi has been appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Cardinal AMATI Minister of the Interior. Both these Ministers are moderate Liberals, and these Appointments are considered by the Constitutionalists as the forerunner of a temperate reform. Intelligence from Lisbon of the 30th ult. has arrived. The Miguelites who had made their appearance at Chaves had dispersed on the appearance of the troops which had been sent against them. The 7th Regiment of Infantry had been sent to Oporto, and the Govern ment was quite prepared to put down any further at tempts that might be made by the Miguelites. The Miguelite rising is attributed to the intrigues of the Cabrals, acting in, collusion with the Court of Spain, and with its representative at Lisbon, GONZALES BaAvo. The object of the intriguers is to give Spain an excuse for sending an armed force in to Portugal, for tb e purpose event ually of uniting Portugal to Spain. The Spanish Heraldo contains a long article advocating an armed intervention. in consequence, the whole of them perished; some killed by our soldiers, all the others were drowned." The Tettknnetit of the. 24 publishes letters from Algeria of the 26th ult., which represent AnD-EL KADER and Bou MAZI as fugitives deserted and de spised by their countrymen—the Arabs and Kabyles as annihilated—and the French rule in that province as securely established. M. DZ SALVANDY embarked on the 30th for Algiers. There was nothing done in the Funds on Sunday. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 6.

Sales 7,000 bales, including 500 bales of Am er i can f or ex portation, and 500 on speculation.. Shares continued quiet for the most part, but the favourite scrips and shares were maintained in value. _ _ There are no arrivals to-day with late intelligence of any particular interest, and electioneering matters cause the chief bustle at present observable. The state of affairs in the Peninsular is such as to excite still scme doubt of the future position of that country, especially as regards its " financial difficulties," for, undoubtedly, such it has now to encounter. In this position it is curious to hear of an intended application by the Bank of Lisbon to the Bank of'England, for the loan of a large sum, said to be as much as a million sterling, although as to the chance of the appli cation being successful we are not at present advised. Even now, it the Lisbon Government ip pl ies itself vigorously to the task, there is some hope of the national treasury being re plenished, though the preservation of public tranquillity is indispensable to the collection of a direct revenue. The market for English Investments has been very steady; the advance of yesterday being fully maintained. Consols for the Account, as well as for special transfer, have been 95 5 g to 95'g. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 14s. to 175., and firm. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% to 97%. Bank Stock has been supported at 208, and East Indian Stock, ex. dividend, has been quoted 2614. There is very little passing in the Foreign Market, and the quotations, though firmer, are almost nominal. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 47 1 4 to 48, ex dividend. Brazil Stock is 854 ; Mexican Bonds have improved to 27 and 27 Shares are not very active, but they continue firm. We understand that the Richmond Railway Company has been taken up by the South-Western, and that its stock will rank as South-Western Stock, without any distinction. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The change of Ministry in England and the approaching general election in France are the only topics com mented on. BRITISH FUNDS.

The melancholy event took place at his seat near Folkestone on M onday. For the last three or four days the Learned Judge had been suffering under a severe attack of constipation of the bowels, with which he was first seized in the House of Lords on the occasion of his attendance being required on the hearing of some important appeals, upon which the judgment and considerati on o f the judges was required. The attack was not, h o wever, so serious as t o create any alarm , and no apprehension of hi s recovery was en tertained until Monday afternoon, whe n th e L earne d J u d ge w again attacked with the complaint i n so ser i ous a manner t hat Dr. Penington, who was in attendance on him, was compelled to an nounce that as he could not entertain any hope. The attack continued, baffling all medi ca l sk il l, un til death put an e n d to his sufferings., in th e presence of his family an d medical atten dants. The Learned Judge held the office of Solicitor-General in 1829, in which year he was created Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, on the retirement of Lord Wynford, then Sir William Draper Best, Knight. Since his a pp ointment his attention to his judical duties have been unremitting. FEARFEL ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN CUMMING'S GROOM. —This morning between the hours of ten and eleven, an accident of a most fearful character, and which it is ex pected will termi nate fatally, occurre d to a youth named William Parsons, a b out sixteen years old, groom to Captain Cumming, of th e Coldstream Guards. It appears that the unfortunate lad w as mounte d on a ve ry spirited animal be longing to his master, and just as he got opposite the United Service Club, i n P a ll Mall, was throw n on the stones with great force, the h orse going down a t the same time and breaking one of hi s hind legs. The i n jured youth wa s a t once conveyed to the Charing Cross hospital, where it was ascertained by Mr George Cheeseman, the house surgeon, that he had sustained very serious injuries about the head, besides a fracture of the left arm ; and it was considered that amputation must be resorted to. He remains is a most pre carious condition. " °RAW, Julia 25. A boat arrived on the 22d ult. from lljenima-Gbazaouat with important dispatches from General Cavaignac, which brings news of great interest. Some Arabs, for the most part belonging to the tribes which have actively participated in the butchery of Sidi-Brahim, had taken advantage of the mo mentary absence of the General, who had gone in the direc tion of Morocco to attack the detachments occupied in the works of the road from Gbazaouat to the frontier. Our troops immediately discontinued their works, and, concen trating themselves, sent off couriers to General Cavaignac. The latter, with the column under his command, succeeded iu making a counter. march in such a manner that the enemy found it impossible to avoid a combat, which they had them selves been the first to provoke. More than 500 Arabs were driven towards the sea, and there were called upon to mar- They refused to lay down their arms, however, and, render, AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIDGE. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The packet-ship Cambridge, Captain Barstow, arrived in the Mersey this morning, with intelligence from New York of the 17th ult. inclusive. The presentation of the Oregon treaty to the Senate had been delayed, in consequence of the resignation, by Mr. Allen, of the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Mi. Allen, it appears, desired to discuss the original communication of the President upon the subject with open doors. An unsuccessful attempt had been made in the lower branch of Congress to excite public feeling against the terms of the compromise. The New Tariff Bill had at length come before Congress for discussion, backed by a message from the President, urging the necessity of revising the commercial system of the Union, in order to meet the increased expenditure result ing from the Mexican war. The President also recommended an additional issue of Treasury notes. We have no further accounts from the seat of hostilities. Exchange on London, 108 to 1084, three months. (From the correspondence of the New York Sun.) WASHINGTON, JUNE 16.—The treaty was not sent into the Senate yesterday, owing to the resignation of the Chair man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The vacancy will be supplied by an election to-day, when this document will be transmitted. It will be necessary to refer it to that committee for their reasons for recommending its adoption, which will be embodied in a formal report. Mr. Walker, having recovered from his illness, will lay his communication before the Senate to-day on the tariff and the finances. It will recommend an increase of duty on tea, coffee, and other articles, from 20 to 30 per cent., which he estimates will afford an increase of three or four millions of dollars in the revenue. An issue of 12,000,000 dollars in Treasury notes will also be recommended in preference to a loan. in Mang LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1846. SENATE. A Message from the President was sent in this morning with Secretary Walker's report on the finances and the tariff. The President gates, that the increase of revenue rendered necessary by the war with Mexico can be met by reducing the tariff to a revenue standard, imposing duties on free articles, and modifying the duties on others. Additional authority is asked for the issue of 1 reasury notes. The Secretary's report was also read. He estimates the deficiency in the revenue for the next fiscal year at 19,620,000 dolls., but anticipates receipts from various sources, which will reduce this to 15,000,000 dolls., leaving 4,000,000 dolls. deficit. This deficit will also be reduced if the tariff is modified according to the provisions of the House Bill introduced by the Committee of 'Ways and Means. The entire receipts, with this modification, are estimated at 30,000,000 dolls., but leaving still the deficiency mentioned of 15,000,000 dolls. The warehouse system proposed, it is estimated, will fur ther reduce this amount, and the graduation of the sales of public lands half a million more, leaving still over 12,000,000 dolls. deficit. To meet t his the Secretary recommends a resort to loans, or issue of Treasury notes, or both, as circumstances may render it most desirable, and at the earliest dates, and at such rates of interest as may be agreed upon. The message and report were referred to the Committee on Finance, and ordered to be printed. An Executive message was also received, which was understood to be concerning the treaty. The southern mail did not connect at• Washin gton to-day. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. M'Dowell, of Ohio, moved a suspension of the rules, in order to introduce a resolution, embodying a protest against the treaty in progress for a settlement of the Oregon question. The resolution and preamble assume that this is a question proper for the action of the whole Legislative power; for the attempt secretly to adjust the matter, while the people and their representatives are ignorant of the terms, would be doing injustice to the rights of the people, and" consum mated " no obligatory force upon them ; therefore, Resolved, that in the opinion of the House, it is the duty of the Senate to postpone further consideration and action upon the same, and submit it to the people for their action and consideration. The remaining resolutions censure die President and Senate for executive and senatorial supremacy and for secret conclave, by which to hide their proceedings from the public under the midnight veil. On the motion to send the rules, the yeas were 35 ; nays, 156. So the motion was lost. The House then went into Committee, and proceeded with the Indian Appropriation Bill. Mr. Pilsbury, from Texas, defended the Act of annexation, and the movement leading thereto, from the assault of Mr. Culver made yesterday. Mr. Stevens made an eloquent speech, reviewing the cause of the Mexican war, in the course of which he paid a high tribute to the exalted genius and statesmanship of Daniel Webster, and his recent triumphant vindication from his slanderers. Mr. Leake was left speaking. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, JULY 7.—Wind W., light breeze, and cloudy. DEAL, JULY 6.—Wind W.S. W., strong and squally.— Arrd.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE ♦T A GENTLEMAN'S RE SIDENCE.—On Monday Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the London University College Hospital, on view of the body of Sarah Whitehead, aged 60. Robert Lovell Evans, Esq., 7, Mornington-crescent, stated that the deceased had been in his employ as housekeeper, and, notwithstanding her age, she enjoyed excellent health. On the morning of the 27th ult., about nine o'clock, witness was sitting in the front parlour with a gentleman on a visit at his establish ment, when they were suddenly alarmed by the screams of deceased, who having got near the kitchen fire, a lighted cinder fell from the grate and ignited her dress. Before wit ness or any other person could get to her assistance, she was so frightfully burned as to render her removal to the hospital necessary. The house surgeon said that death was the re sult of the injuries; she expired on the 3d inst., and. the body presented a most appalling spectacle. Other evidence having been adduced, the jury returned a verdict of "Acci dental Death." Monday night Mr. J. Payne, the Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at the Stump and Magpie, Feter-lane, touching the death of John Stafford, aged 44, coachman, in the em ploy of Mr. Chancellor. the large omnibus proprietor. John Hubbard, 3, Wells-street, Falconer-square, said that about nine o'clock on Saturday night, he was passing along Hol born, and saw a Chelsea omnibus, numbered 2,298, travelling down the hill towards Newgate-street, and when about mid way the deceased fell from the box into the road, with his feet toward.; the horses' heads. He was driving at the time, and there were several other pers .ns on the outside of th• vehicle. He was removed to Mr. Gibs•n's, the surgeon, where life was pron•unced to be extinct. The deceased had complained of the hot weather, which induced a supposition that he had been attacked by some pain in the head, which resulted in an apoplectic fit, and thus the accident. Verdict— " Natural death." RELEASE OF BONDED CORN.—The deliveries of the various descriptions of corn lying in bond at the warehouses and granaries on the banks of the river and other parts of the port of London, were of a very extensive nature on the first day of the new Corn Act coming into operation. As the average price in the market on that day was at the maximum number of shillings, it necessarily admitted the article at the lowest rate of duty named in the scale, viz., that of 45., and consequently great anxiety was expressed to obtain delive ries of the corn in bond and required to be delivered on that day. Several hundreds of duty entries were passed for the article, and in order to expedite matters, and afford every possible facility to the parties interested, the clerks, &c., in the particular department In question were detained until a late hour issuing delivery orders for the release of the corn on which duty had been paid during the day. On the next• day, the price having fallen, the duty rose to 55., and although the pressure had i❑ a great measure been disposed of on the first day, the deliveries which took place were of an extensive character. THE TEXPLE.—On Monday the 6th inst., deputations composed of some of the members of the bench of Lincoln's Inn, the Middle Temple, and Gray's Inn, and several Learned Lords &c., who are interested, and have been active in for warding, considering, and discussing the subject of an im proved system of legal education in students qualifying themselves for the bar, assembled in the Parliament chamber of the Inner Temple to partake of a grand banquet given to the deputations, and other heads of the above-mentioned inns of court ; amongst the compiny were Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Sir C.

VAGRANTS, ENGLAND AND WALES.—From a return just laid upon the table of the House of Commons, relative to the number of vagrants received into union workhouses of England and Wales, during the years 1841, 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1843, it appears that the total number of unions in the counties of England and Wales, amounts to 480. In 1841, there were received into them 93,985 men, 24,095 women, 43,577 of the males being between 18 and 40. In 1842, males 162,163 (78,995 between 18 and 40), and 33,889 females.

THE HOLBORN BATH SWIMMING CLUB ANNUAL DINNER. The annual dinner of this truly excellent and invalu able institution took place at the Freemason's Tavern, yesterday, when they was an exceedingly numerous at tendance of the members. The object of the dinner was not to obtain subscriptions to the funds of the society, but for the purpose of distributing medals and prizes to the successful competitors, and by a re-union, to promote amongst the members a social and friendly feeling. It is not our intention to enter into the merits of such an institution, as we are sufficiently aware that most people cordially coincide with the opinion of Locke, that swim ming forms R necessary part of the education of a man, but it may not be uninteresting to state, that according to the report of the Registrar-General in 1844, no fewer than 1,976 persons were accidentally drowned in that year, all of whom would be yet preserved to society and their friends had they known the art of swimming. Passing over the other advantages derived from the art, such as health and recreation, we will merely advert to the proceedings of the evening. Mr. Hedgman presided, and after the honorary secretary, Mr. Horacelienworthy, read the report, which stated the gratifying progress of the society, several large silver medals, beauti fully engraved, were handed to Messrs. Poltoun and Robinson of Oxford, who were the suc cessful competitors of the season. The usual loyal and national toasts were given, and drunk with enthu- siasm, and after spending a pleasant evening, the com pany broke up at an early hour. During the entertainment, the CHAIRMAN adverted to the performance of one of the successful candidates of the last season, a Mr. Pewter s, who accomplishes with ease one hundred yards. Letters from Mr Sergeant Talfourd and Mr.Wahley were read, expressing their regret at not being able to attend the meeting of the soci‘-ty. CREAM OF EGYPT A L'IBRAHIM PACHA, The novelty of the bill of fare which appeared in our columns of Saturday last, relating to the banquet given to his ilighnessibrahim Pacha, by the members of the Re form Club, the day previous, having since been the topic of general conversation, our readers will perhaps feel in terested in the description of two of the most novel and original dishes served on that ecca , ion. The first, entitled, "Cream of Egypt a l'lbra him Pacha," and composed exp. essly for the occasion by M. Sayer, the chef de cosine of the club, was the admiration of the whole company, and especially so of the Pacha, who as soon as it was placed before him, quickly perceived the honour intended to be conferred upon him. This dish consisted of a pyramid about two feet and a half high, made of light meringues cake, in imitation of solid stones, surrounded with immense grapes and other fruit', but repre senting only the four angles of the pyramid through sheets of waved sugar, to show to the greatest advantage an elegant cream a l'Ananas, on the top of which was resting a highly-finished portrait of the illustrious stranger's father, Mehemet Ali, carefully drawn on a round shape satin carton, the exact size of the top of the cream. The portrait was immediately ob served by his llighness, who carefully took it up, and after showing it to several of his suite, placed it in his bosom. What was his Highness's astonishment, however, on again looking at the spot, to observe in the cream, as under a glass, a highly-finished portrait of himself surrounded by a very carefully exe cuted frame. M. Soyer having been sent for by the party, was highly complimented by his Highness, through his interpreter. The l'acha desired to know where and how he could procure such a likeness of his father, and how his own was so correctly drawn in the cream ? Please tell his Highness, says M. Soyer to the interpreter) " that both were executed from the original sketches drawn by our celebrated artist, Horace Vernet, whilst in Alexandria. The portrait in the cream is drawn on wafer paper, which being placed on the damp jelly, representing the glass, dissolves, and nothing remains of the wafer paper but the appearance of the portrait painted in light water colours. The imitation of the gilt frame is made with the eau-de-vie of Danteic and gold water mixed with the jelly, the gold leaf of which forms the frame." After having been thanked by the Pacha, the pyramidal cream of Egypt was ordered to be shown to each guest by sliding it from one to the other round the table. Though everything was eatable in it, this magnificent dish was respected, and remained untouched until the end of the banquet, though everybody tried to partake of the fruit which surrounded it. The next dish which much amused the company was the one entitled the " Gateau Britanique a I'amirtll," being the representation of an old man - of-war , bearing the English and Egyptian flags, drawn on rice paper, the ship being filled with ice mousseuse aux re the, and loaded with large strawberries, cherries, grapes, and bunches of currants, It was so placed on the table that Commodore Napier had to help from this cargo the Illustrious Stranger, who appeared much amused at the incident. The moisture and liquor of the ice gradually melted and imbibed the carcase of the vessel, which was made of a kind of delicate sponge cake. While the Gallant Commodore was in the act of helping the re inainder of the ice, the ship gave way, and formed a complete wreck, which caused great hilarity among the company who were close enough to witness the scene. HERTFORD Fem.—This fair was opened on Monday for the sale of stock, free of all tolls: Cattle brought in was limited, and the prices rather on the decline. The business was chiefly confined to lean cattle and horses. Beasts for grazing ranged from 101. to 13/. a head, and some Scotch runts sold at 71. and 91. each. Cows to calve down went as low as 91. and 11/. a head, and heifers U. and 91. Good milch cows, large framed, fetched from 12 to 15 guineas, the small calf inclusive. In the horse-field. good sound cart horses sold at prices varying from 16 to IS and 20 guineas each, and nags of the best description fetched from 16 to 18 guineas. The pig pens were scantily filled. RAILWAY SIGNALS.--Mr. Gregory, the engineer of the Croydon Railway, has erected a set of signals at the junction of the Bricklayers' Arms Branch, which are simple and intelligible. They consist of two semaphores, which are worked by the feet of the attendant, whose hands are left free to work the switches, the handles of which are con veniently placed for that purpose. In the absence of the attendant no trains will pass, as the signals are so contrived that they will then indicate "danger" and "stop.' It would be imprudent, we think, to lay too much stress upon this last peculiarity, since there would be nothing to prevent a man, when he had reason to expect. the approach of a par ticular train from fixing the handles in the particular posi tion suitable for that train, and then absenting himself for a time. The main security must lie in a vigilant supervision, a w.ll-arranged system of management, and the employment of steady and trustworthy men. If automatic signals and similar contrivances be used as auxiliaries, they will prove very useful • if intended to dispense with th e more i mportant requisites, they will only lead to a fallacious dependance and to inevitable disaster. — Patent Journal. FESTIVITIES AT THE MANSION -HOUSE —We are in formed that his Royal Highness Prince Albert has accepted the Lord Mayor's invitation to the forthcoming banquet to the Presidents of the Royal Society and other distinguished literary and scientific institutions in England. The enter tainment is appointed to take place in the Egyptian-hall, at the Mansion-house, on Friday next, and will doubtless prove one of the most magnificent character. On the preceding day (Thursday) the Lord Mayor entertains the members of the Court of Common Council, and on Saturday his Lord ship gives a grand entertainment to his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and a large circle of the nobility. THE COBDEN TRIBUTE FUND.—The subscriptions up to yesterday evening am•un .ed to 22,000/. Does.—We believe it to be true that not one-half of the (logs which are kept by working classes are paid for. And it is a notorious fact, that nearly, if not entirely, one half of those persons (though their dog-mania must be in dulged) have enough to do, not to live, but exist. This " surpulus" quantity of dogs produces, in a great measure, hydrophobia. Taxes-officers ought to look strictly after all who keep dogs. ALLEGED LUNATICS FRIENDS SOCIETY. The foundation festival of this Institution, which has been established for the protection of British subjects from unjust imprisonment on the ground of mental derangement, and for the protection of all persons con fined as lunatics from cruel and improper restraint, was celebrated yesterday, at the Lonion Tavern, Biihopsgate•street, Luke James Harsard, fn., in the chair. Shortly after six o'clock, about sixty gentlemNl sat down to an excellent dinner, which was placed on tbe table in the best style by those excellent caterers Messrs. Bathe and I3reache. Among the gentlemen present we observed B. B. Cabbell, Esq. F.R.S.. &c., J. W. Gil bert, Esq., Co). Bruen, J. T. Percival, Esq., Henry F. Richardson (honorary secretary), Henry Percival, Esq., Bailey, Esq., and several other gentlemen. The band of the Coldstream Guards was in attend ance, and during the course of the evening played se veral popular airs. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Turner, who was assisted by Miss Thornton, and Messrs. Genge, Edeny and Farqu. harson Smith. The usual loyal and national toasts having been drunk with all the usual lionours, The CHAIRMAN rose and said, that having drunk the healths of those who fought the battles of war, he now called upon them to drink to those who fought the bat tles of peace—of those who, although They shed not their blood in the battle-field, yet spent day,‘ of toil and nights of anxiety to benefit their fellow.creatuifl — wh o educated the community, whose labours were not a: yet sufficiently appreciated, but who would eventually bd . properly appreciated and properly honoured—to whom would be awarded that station which they ought bY, right to occupy. He proposed " The British Press.' Drunk with three times three. Mr. JERDAN, in returning thanks on behalf of the press, took occasion to allude to the circumstances which had led to the formation of this Society. That such a society was needed was abundantly evident. Let them look to the situation in which any person was placed against whom an accusation of lunacy was brought; There was in the very accusation itself enough to aped,' the strongest-minded man in the world. If an indivy dual were accused of theft, or robbery, or murder, of any other atrocious crime, he would be tried at the Old Bailey, in the open Court, in the face of the public, by Judge of law and a jury of twelve of his countrymen , sworn to administer justice ;_but if it was alleged that he was a lunatic, the cer tifi ca t e o f two men, without any publiM trial or investigation would be sufficient to legalise hi , incarceration. Now under such circumstances what could be more natural than that a man should feel in' dignant at the unfounded accusation of insanity than brought against him? But if he put himself in a passion it would he said, " Oh! undoubtedly the man is mad: ' Then suppose the alleged lunatic determined to act with prudence, to subdue his anger, to show no outwerd sig/ of the indignation which he must naturally feel. "Oh they would say, "he is sulky— a sure sign that he i 0 mad." But suppose that he spoke calmly and rationally , and reasoned with them, and that no flaw could be found in his argument ; what would they say thee r Why, that he had a lucid interval, but that still he wet ' mad. A man might be as sensible as a secretary a state, yet still if he once was sent, by a medical gen' tleman to a private asylum, he could not get released. --- (Hear.) The great evil of the system was the confine' relent of single patients in single houses. The large asylums were, in some measure, under the superintend' ence of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy, wh°, occasionally corrected seine abuses, but the grow evil was the confinement of single patients in single houses ; and there were upwards of 1,000 such in the neighbourhood of London. The medical to who had charge of the patient had a direct interest it / keeping him in confinement, for he derived an annuity varying from 501. to 3001. or more a year for so d o ing. The owner of the cottage had likewise a similar interest" for he would naturally desire to keep a good tenant' All the tradesmen in the neighbourhood had a simil' interest, for if the patient were set at liberty the est e° blishment would be broken up, and they would lose th e custom of the house. Now how was it possible for 01 unfortunate person thus circumstanced to overcome a ll these obstacles without assistance? This institution pr o ' mised to afford that assistance, and therefore was tloo institution v, orthy of the support of every philanthr o ' pist.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of " Churc h and State," in so doing he said, that the society hoped „ have the assistance of ministers of religion of all denf e minations ; and that of the great reforms which society was labouring to introduce into the laws for t he regulation of lunatic asylums, one of the principal 0, 5 ' to afford ministers of religion at all times free access persons confined as lunatics, to listen to their complaint,' and to afford them spiritual consolation.--(Cheers). Drunk with three times three. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose the toast of Of evening, which was " Prosperity to the humane in?", tions and Christian objects of the alleged Lunat ie9 o Friend Society."—(Cheers.) The society had only be % in existence one year. The founders of it had felt th a t great injustice had been perpetrated by the confinetn e fa of some persons on false allegations of insanity. 0 : 1 , 4 that thelaw was insufficient to protect the liberty of Abe subject. At that time a Bill was before the House ' l _ Commons, which,had been drawn up by the Metrogor, litan Cemmissi , ners of Lunacy, for the better tee tion of tunatkAsyltims. It certainly introduced bet" aer rules for the regulation of the confinement of the yhe but it left untouched the evil which it was the object of this society to put down, viz., ns confinement of the sane upon false alkr, p it of of insanity. Those accused of ins an ity we r e dePr": 6 l of any trial ; without any investigation, without the t rl ,a a jury, upon a mere certificate of two medical m e ' fo r certificate which might be bought for a guinea, or or half a guinea—(A voice, " Five shillings.")—aY e ' 4o l for five shillings a fellow. creature might be incarceraco in one of those asylums. Already had this society h the means of freeing several persons from an un.10_19., imprisonment. There was one case of a trae .ic man whose wife, in consequence of doings differences which had driven Min to seek for oblivionL the use of intoxicating liquors, had caused him to confined in a madhouse. He was kept there for yea rs In order to get possession of some portion of his PO; perty, she wished him to execute a deed of assigninlio He refused, and she tempted him with wine, but h is was proof against temptation. So convinced were 0 sons of his sanity, that they told him when t,';', h ' e came of age they would procure his release. .-".„,„ wife died—the sons came of age—he got pons sion of the property, but still the fault was in 0 . 1 ' 4 asylum. The society heard of the case, they to up—they not only procured the release of the fat but they brought about a reconciliation between ! e a father and the son ; and the property would be restc!, to the father, who was present among them that even In an 'tiler case. a person who had offended a povvrtlic, public body had been by them incarcerated as a lhe r n , oe d The society had, however, taken up his cause, and " o p him from imprisonment, and he too was Preti c h The Chairman concluded by proposing the toast, yr was drunk with all honours. s e n° Mr. GOLD, in returning thanks, said that he W. s ll e tirely indebted to the exertions of the society 'g o o that he enjoyed. Had it not been for them, he 5 o oh still have been Nor and friendless. He had heard h'ilito of the humanity of Lord Ashley, and had applied t° to take up his cause. Lord Ashley, lo' ve he had not done so ; fortunately, however, had been found out by Mr. Hansard—(Loud ehe er i 3 o and in consequence of the benevolent exert ions 0 1 e to gentleman, he should now return to Bath reconcilev,A his son, to resume his station as an active and, he tr esv a useful citizen.—(Cheers.) Mr. WHITE also thanked the society for their e%er. l tions, by which he had been restored to liberty. P had been incarcerated by a powerful public body, afl but for the assistance afforded him by this society " must have remained a prisoner life.—(Cheers.) rf Mr. BAILY, who styles himself " the rational patient then rose to respond to the toast. He had bees 6 % times incarcerated in a lunatic asylum on the certifin of Dr. Haslam, a nd eac h t i me h e b ad been as sens i f as he was at that moment. The medical attendalnti. the asylum, when he was first incarcerated, bad, tu's he had resided there ten days, told him, that there 01 , nothing the matter with him, and that he cou ld not co ny hof of cieve why his friends had placed him there ; he add that the Metropolitan Commissioners of Lunacy who " r il not visited the asylum for three months, were expe e e e there daily, and that theywould no doubt set hies at libe r fo r The Commissioners came not for three months • that, and then he was placed in the pauper's yard punishment for having written letters to his Men merely stating that he was confined in an asylum, ° P o asking them to come and see him. The C omm i ss ion e r t o asked if he had any complaint to make? He said he 4 to complain of many grievan ces .
