THE NEW MINISTRY. The following are said to be some of the new ap pointments : President of the Board of Control ... Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE. Chief Secretary for Ireland Sir W. SOMERVILLE. Judge-Advocate ... Mr. CHARLES BULLER. Vice-President of the Board of Trade ........ ..... Mr. WARD. Under-Secretary for Home Department Comptroller of the House hold Secretary tc the Treasury Mr. TUFNELL. /Admiral D UNDAS , Lords of the Admiralty ... Sir T. TROUBRIDGE, Captain BERKELEY. Mr. HAWES. The resignation of the Ministry was on Monday notified to both Houses of Parlian.ent. The Duke of WELLINGTON announced it in the upper House, in his usually terse manner, whilst Sir R. PEEL dis charged the same duty, at considerable length, in the House of Commons. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has re ceived her MAJESTY'S commands to form an Adminis tration. The House of Lords will sit daily to pass the Sugar Duties Bill (which was read a third time on Monday in the Commons), continuing the present duties for one month from the sth July next._ The House of Commons, at the request of Lord J. Rus- SELL, conveyed through Sir R. PEEL, has adjourned till Friday next. In the meanwhile, Committees will sit for the furtherance of railway and other private business. The retiring address of Sir R. PEEL was moderate, dignified, and interesting, in the highest degree. He not only modestly reviewed the past, but, in a candid and generous spirit, indicated, as far as he could, the principles by which his policy, in his capacity of a private Member of Parliament, would in future be governed. Nothing was left unsaid which could tend to diminish a sense of the difficulties that may pervade Lord J. Russzkes mind, in his renewed at tempt to govern the affairs of the empire. He has encouraged his chief political opponent in every way to brace his mind to fulfil the high trust which the SOVEREIGN has summoned him to undertake. Lord J. RUSSELL has gained great credit in the eyes of the country by the honourable manner in which be supported the late Government, and ministered to the success of their comprehensive measures ; and his Lordship must now feel that Sir R. PEEL is fer vently disposed to requite the obligation in the most liberal manner. The nation will ever retain a lively remembrance of the inappreciable public benefits that have been conferred upon it during the last five years by the chief of the late Cabinet. It will not be forgotten by the people that, for their sakes, he propounded his magnificent schemes of commercial reform, though fully aware they would lead to his expulsion from power, and entail upon him, the keenest sacrifices that any man could make for his country's good. The value of office to one of so princely an income as Sir ROBERT PEEL is insignificant enough ; but the loss of private friendship, the severance of many a political tie, proudly cherished, and the disruption of a powerful party, are marks of patriotic devotion rarely witnessed. Yet all of these stand out in bold relief in the character of Sir ROBERT PEEL. He will gain the only reward he can be ambitious of—the present gratitude of the nation, and the admiration of posterity. The hopes so emphatically expressed in his closing sentences of Monday night will be realised to the full. These were his words :—" It may be that I shall retire from office with a name some- times remembered with expressions of good will in those dwellings which are the abodes of men whose lot it is to labour, and to earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brows; that is, a name remembered with expressions of goodwill, when they shall recruit their strength with abundant and untaxed food, the sweeter, because it is no longer leavened by a sense of injustice." It is observable that Sir R. PEEL has strictly acted up to the letter of the constitutional advice he tendered, and the principle he laid down, when he moved, in opposition, in 1841, that the Ministry were no longer entitled to the confidence of the country. He stated then, that a Government ought not to re main in office "upon sufferance," but particularly when they were unable to carry measures which they deemed to be essential to the welfare:of the nation. He explained last night that, being convinced he could not continue to preside over the Government without being reduced to a similar position, both he and his colleagues had unanimously and unhesitatingly determined to resign. It is the manifest intention of the ex-Minister to give the protectionists a locus panitentia. Of the mo nopolists, par excellence, he disposed with- withering contempt—" I shall leave," said Sir ROBERT, " a name execrated by every monopolist, who maintains protection for his own individual ends." But of the greater portion of the protectionists he seems to have better hopes, believing that from no interested motives they have upheld the principle of protection, and believing also, that when, after a short interval, they shall have discovered all the apprehensions, which have scared them from their propriety, to have become practically dissipated—that land has retained its ordinary value, the revenue its vigour, and the country its prosperity—they will do the amende honorable, and return to the political ranks from which they have so mutinously deserted. The views which Sir ROBERT enunciated with respect to Ireland will be hailed with universal delight. He is prepared to establish in Ireland the same political and religious equality enjoyed in England and Scotland, to effectuate a complete re semblance, as far as is practicable, between the franchise, the municipal and other politi cal bodies of the former and those of the latter. This is the true spirit which should animate our national councils, and, under its guidance, we may inok tsi, goo Irals.r.l. ra y tal y irogonorsitod. Referring to the vast measures that had been passed by his Government towards establishing a clear and unrestricted commercial - intercourse with other countries, Sir ROBERT PEEL assumed that his successor would use every exertion to develope the principles of free trade, and assured him of his most cordial support. We rejoice at this de claration, and shall be disappointed indeed if Lord JOHN should not at once propose to rid our statute book of the differential duties upon sugar. Thecountry, is, at this moment, seriously threatened, as evidenced by the latest accounts from the West India islands, with a scarcity of this necessary of life. Lord JOHN can not fairly plead that his recent accession to power disables him from dealing immediately with this question ; for the notice he recently gave of the reso lutions he intended to move in reference to sugar, is conclusive as to his being already master of the subject. It is one of pressing importance, and, assured of the advantage of Sir R. PEEL'S powerful aid, no time should be lost in recommending to Par liament the early extinction of these injurious duties. At no moment of his important career, at no moment of his greatest triumph, has the late Premier suc ceeded so thoroughly in obtaining for himself the respect and esteem of all good and honest men, the profound admiration of a grateful nation, as at the moment of his secession from power, of delivering over the destinies of the country to his successors in office. He has exhibited the converse of that which was said of the Minister of old-- " Who to party gave up What was meant for mankind." Sir ROBERT PEEL, when thoroughly satisfied that the well-being of the nation at large was necessarily involved in the recognition of the great principles of free trade, that their adoption by the Legislature was essential to the commercial prosperity and to the happiness of his country, hesitated not to sacrifice place and power, to dissolve and disunite a party, probably the most powerful that had existed for Many years, to cast away long cherished private friendships, and to expose himself to the most embittered and rancorous attacks, , the most venomous and malignant hostility, from a factious section of the monopolist party. By his conduct he attained for himself a position probably higher than that ever achieved by a public man, and well and nobly has he sustained that high position, and added 'addi tional laurels to those which already had graced his brow. No one can read the statement of the reasons which led to the resignation of the PEEL Ministry without being rin b ep e i in i g e impressed with a deep sense of the exhibited, the magnanimous and honourable course pursued. Sir ROBERT clearly pointed out his thorough knowledge of the position in which his Government was placed. They felt the impossibility of continuing to administer, with credit to themselves, the affairs of th e nation in the face of such a reckless and factious opposition as that manifested by a portion of their former supporters, and they had recourse to no unworthy means to pro long their tenure of office, to retain to themselves its honours, emoluments, and patronage ; they sought not the chance of a dissolution for the purpose of retain- ing power for themselves, although they would un hesitatingly have appealed to the country for the purpose of carrying, in their integrity, the great measures of commercial policy to which they had pledged themselves. The point, however, on which probably the most interest was felt was the announce ment of the views and feelings of the late Prime Minister with respect to the future policy to be pursued towards Ireland. He had ever stated that it was the great difficulty of his Government. It was on an Irish question that he sustained the defeat which led to his abandonment of office. We deeply regretted, and earnestly deprecated, the pressing on of the measure, when, as we conceived, the painful causes which had evoked it had terminated, and when tranquillised and peaceful Ireland bore the most honourable..testimony to the efficacy of the liberal and conciliatory measures brought forward by the Government. Sir ROBERT, however, we doubt not, conscientiously conceived it to be his duty to persevere, and many consistent and liberal politicians felt it to be their duty to oppose , the granting of the unconstitutional powers to be thereby created, so restrictive to the liberty of the subject, unless the most imperative present necessity existed for their concession. He has spoken out 6 boldly and fairly as to his feelings on the subject. He stated that to the opinions which he avowed at the close of the last session of Parliament, to the opinions which had a practical effect given to them by the Charitable Bequests Act, and by the additional vote for the endowment of Maynooth, he now, when about to relinquish office, entirely subscribed ; he deprecated the inference that, because the Government had proposed measures which had been termed measures of coercion, but which they called measures for the protection of life, their views with regard to the policy to be pursued towards Ireland had undergone any change, and he now stated that, in his opinion, there ought to be established between England and Ireland a complete equality in all civil, municipal, and political rights—a real and substantial equality, and that no person should be enabled to say, " that a different law is enacted for Ireland; and, on account of some jealousy or suspicion, Ireland has curtailed and mutilated rights." This is, indeed, a cheering avowal for the friends of that country—it is all that can be wished for, or required, on its behalf: if fully and efficiently carried into execution, it must remove every well grounded cause of com plaint, and make Ireland happy and contented, the right' arm of Great Britain, a source of strength and power. We trust the intention will be ably followed up by the new Government, now that they are assured of the zealous and cordial co-operation and the powerful support of the Right Honourable Baronet in giving effect to their good in tentions. With respect to the Executive Ad ministration the confidence of the Crown should be bestowed without reference to religious distinc tions. He stated the difficulties which he had expe rienced in giving effect to that principle, and that if his successors should act thereon, they should hear no complaint from him on that ground; and he avowed his readiness to co-operate with those to whom the practical administration of affairs might be entrusted on the vitally important questions of the social condition of the people, with respect to the tenure of land and the relationship between landlord and tenant. These manly and honest declarations were deservedly'receiveci with the most entire approbation by the House. Sir R. PEEL has most assuredly done all in his power to smooth the path of his successors on the Irish questions, and we doubt not that they will receive at his hands a reciprocation of the honourable support which they rendered to him in giving effect to his great measures of commercial policy. According to the Frankfort Gazette, Cracow will henceforth be governed by three directors, SCHINDLER, the ex-president, nominated byAustria,MicaoszEwsm, the ex-director of police, nominated by Russia, and the senator, VICTOR KorFT, nominated by Prussia. Accounts from Switzerland, dated Zurich, June 25, state that the Canton of Tessino has demanded of the Diet a law declaring that military capitulations with foreign states are incompatible with the na tional institutions of Switzerland, and that when the existing capitulations shall have expired, they shall not be renewed. On the suggestion of the Canton of Thurgovia, seven of the cantons have agreed to demand simultaneously of the Diet the dissolution of the alliance of the Catholic cantons. The Direc tory has demanded of the Government of Lucerne a categorical explanation of the nature and object of this alliance. The Lucerne authorities, in reply, transmitted to the Vorort a copy of the programme of the conferences at Lucerne, which has already been published. Madrid papers to the 23d have been received. The Government had received information from Portugal stating that Miguelite bands had appeared in different parts of the country. The Spanish authorities hav ing been informed that an erneute of the ex-National Guard of Madrid was organised for the 24th, had adopted measures for the preservation of the public peace, and the repression of alI attempts at disorder. The Infant Don ENRIQUE left Bayonne for Paris on the 25th June. He was escorted by the whole garrison, and a salute of twee ty-one guns was fired at his departuro. So sora cyr, t‘. 11.1. 5 PHILIPPE, by special invitation. He is to remain some days in Paris, and to proceed from thence to Brussels. to visit his sister, from whence he will re turn to Bayonne. General NARVAEZ will, it is said, leave Bayonne for Paris in a few days. The Three per Cents. were done at 33 1 / 2 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 20 1 / 2 for paper ; the Debt without In terest at 6 1 / 2 for cash ; and the shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 280 ; and those of Isabel at 90. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. They all comment upon the defeat of Sir R. PEEL on the Irish Bill, and the change of Ministry which must take place in consequence. The Journal des Debats says— " The vote which has for the present terminated the Minis terial career of Sir Robert Peel, took place at a quarter past two o'clock on Friday morning. A few hours before that event the Corn Bill was, without going to a division, read a third time by the House of Lords. On the same evening, in the House of Commons, the Conservative Minister played his last game, and had against him a majority of 73 votes. We were certain of his defeat. It was evident for some time past that the majority of 1841 was in a state of complete dis- solution. Nevertheless the result of the vote, or at least the number of the majority, has surprised every one, and can only be attributed to the conviction felt generally, that Sir Robert Peel had resolved to retire at all events. It is a remarkable fact that during the debate that preceded this defeat, Sir Robert Peel obtained a great triumph. Eaoh of his adversaries before voting against him exalted him by his words ; and as it were demanded pardon for the blow he was about giving him. Mr. Charles Buller, Mr. Sheil, Mr. Cobden, three most im portant Members of the House, made it a point to justify their intended vote against the Minister. Nevertheless, not withstanding ail these testimonies of admiration and respect that he received from his adversaries, Sir Robert Peel is not less thrown out of office. The considerable majority which decided the struggle sufficiently proves to him that he can do nothing more in the present House of Commons, and that he must adopt anothlfr course. If it could ever be per mitted to assert that the Legislature did not actually re present the country, it would be most assuredly in the present case. It is certaia that Sir Robert Peel is at this moment the most popular man in Great Britain. The illuminations which are about to hail the final abolition of the tax on bread will display in brilliant lights the name or initials of the great Minister who endowed his country with that popular reform, and in a few days we may expect to find the fallen statesman overwhelmed with addresses of congratulation, and all the commercial towns voting him their thanks. An artist whose great talent could not prevent him from misfortune, and who com mitted suicide a few days past—liaydon—had previously to his death appealed to the liberality of several persons of rank. Sir Robert Peel alone answered the application and when overwhelmed with affairs and worried on every side, he had, nevertheless, an ear for the last cry of the unfortunate artist, and a generous hand to relieve it. The few lines which the unhappy painter traced previously to his committing the fatal act have created as much sensation in England as the occurrence of a political event." The Epoque avows that it looks with misgivings at the advent of the Whigs to power, and fears that it may jeopardise the entente cordiale which forms tie basis of the policy of M. GUIzOT and Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Siicle draws a comparison between Sir R. PEEL and M. GUIZOT, insinuating that the fall of the latter will be a consequence of that of the former. The National considers a coalition Ministry, of which both Sir R. PEEL and Lord J. RUSSELL shall be members, as sooner or later inevitable, and regards Mr. COBDEN'S speech as most important, inasmuch as it proves that such an alliance would meet with the approval of the League. The price of bread was increasing in the French provinces in consequence of a deficient supply of corn. The Government were adopting means to mitigate the pressure; of the apprehended scarcity and to keep down the price. At Metz a large quantity of corn belonging to the War Department has been delivered to the local authorities, on condition of being replaced after the harvest. The Chamber of Peers passed several Bills on Saturday. The Moniteur contains the returns of the imports into France during the month of May, 1846, from which it results that the duties received upon them amounted to 13,117,984 f. They have been in May, 1844, 12,575,250 f. ; and in 1845, 14,017,647 f. Those duties produced, however, during the five first months of 1846, 62,064,171 f., showing an increase of 769,383 f. as compared with 1845, and of 2,587,903 f. over 1844. The Apostolical Nuncio presented to the Km on Saturday a letter from Pope Pius IX., notifying his election to the Holy See. The announcement of the ap pointment of Cardinal GIZZY to the office of Secretary of State by the new Pope is premature. His Holiness has not yet made any appointments. Accounts from Algiers of the 19th of June an nounce the satisfactory state of the provinces of Al giers and Oran. Of the movements of ABD-EL FADER nothing is known with certainty. Marshal BUGEAUD, writing from Algiers on the 19th of June, says--" ABD-EL-KADER. was at Assela on the Ist inst., on his way westward to Sefisila, where he was said to have arrived on the 10th. Then he would be close to the Moorish Desert ;" while General THIERRY, in a letter from Oran of the same date, states—" that on the lath he had heard from Ge neral CAVAIGNAC that ABD-EL-KADER was about to rejoin his deira, at El Korl, on the Upper Molonia." A French soldier, named BEAUPRETE, who was a prisoner in the deira of ABD-EL-KADER at the time of the massacre, arrived, on the 12th June, at Tiaret, having escaped almost by a miracle. It is hoped that others may likewise have escaped, and may even tually be restored to their country. The following intelligence from Rio de la Plata is published in the Journal du Havre of Saturday : " The postscripts of several commercial letters from Buenos Ayres, dated May 8, brought by the Coriolan, mer chant vessel, which arrived here yesterday, state that two Sardinian brigs and an English vessel having succeeded during the night in forcing the blockade of the combined squadron, the English and French commanders immediately dispatched armed boats in pursuit of them. They were soon overtaken. The two Sardinians having run aground, were set on fire, and the English vessel was brought off and placed at the disposal of the British Commander. An Eng lish officer, sent with a flag of truce to Buenos Ayres, had been massacred by the mob. That event had caused a deep sensation, and the commanders of the combined forces were making preparations to revenge that murder." e Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera, on Sunday, at 82f. 85c.; and Northern shares at 715 f.

That this simple announcement will be alone sufficient to produce, and to produce speedily too, the necessary funds we cannot for a moment doubt. This is a matter in which all aro equally interested. The Committee appeal to the generosity of the public—they might have appealed to their interest. Filth generates fever, and if fever breaks out in a poor district it extends its ravages into the richer districts bordering on it. Now the only prophylactic against fever is cleanliness, and by promot ing habits of cleanliness among all classes of the com munity, by affording to the poor every facility and en couragement to make use of frequent bathings and ablu tions ; the rich are, in fact, conferring nearly as great a be • nefi t upon themselves as they are upon their poorer neigh bours, for they are preventing the generation of contagi ous and dangerous diseases, which, when once generated, are no respecters of persons. The establishment of baths and wash-houses is a most important measure of public Hygiene ; and we hope soon to see them es tablished throughout the length and breadth of the land, not only for the labouring classes, but for all classes of the community. In England cheap baths are a national want which must and ought to be supplied. THE SUN, LONDON, *VVEDNESDAy MORNING, JTJLY 1, 1846. THE NEW MINISTRY. As Lord John Russell has-riot yet formally accepted office, and has accordingly bad but little communication with his political friends, no accurate 'list of the appointments under the new Government can, of' couTse, be yet expected. We believe, however, that, so far as it goes, the following will be found for the most part correct First Lord of the Treasury-Z-Lord J. Russell. Chancellor of the Exchequer—Mr. C. Wood. Lord Chancellor—Lord Cottenbam. 1 Secretaries Home Depaitment—Sir G. Grey. of State Foreign Affairs—Lord Palmerston. for the Colonial Affairs—Lord Clarendon. President of the Council—The Marquis of Lansdowne. First Lord of the Adrnirab;y—Lord Auckland. Chancellor' of the Duchy of Lancaster—Lord Campbell. First Commissioner of Woods and Forests—Lord Morpeth. Board of Trade—Mr. Labouchere. Postmaster-General—The. Marquis of Clanricarde. Attorney General—Sir Y. Wilde. Solicitor-General—Mr. Jervis. Lord Chamberlain—Lord Granville. IRELAND. . Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland—Lord Besborough. Lord Chancellor of Ireland—Mr. Brady. Attorney-General—Mr. Moore. Solicitor-General—Mr. Monahan..' It is also reported that the Marquis of Normanby will proceed to Paris as Ambassador to the Court of France, and Lord Minto to Vienna, lin the room of Sir IL Gordon. Another report, however, gives Lord Minto the Privy Seal —Times. _A MONSTER TRAIN. The Eastern Counties Railway Company had an excursion train from Yarmouth and Norwich on Mon day last. Upon the arrival of the train at Shoreditch station it consisted of fifty-one carriages—all quite full —drawn by two of the most powerful engines of the Company . The number of passengers (exclusive of children under three years of age, amounting to about 200, who travelled free) was 1,871, making a total of more than 2,000 persons. The cheapness of the fare, and the option allowed all persons of returning any day during the present week, were the indncements that led so many to avail themselves of it. PALLISER'S PATENT PROTEAN RUMBLE. This is one of the neatest and most useful of modern improvements in the construction of carriages. Hitherto the rumble of a carriage has been a fixture, and a fix ture of the most clumsy and awkward nature, and even the turn-over seat was not a vast improvement on it. The Protean Rumble, however, may be entirely de tached and folded up into the compass of a footman's stand in one minute; or, when folded, being laid down at the back of the carriage, it forms a safe and con ♦enient footman's stand; or, being placed erect, and at tached to the back of the carriage by springs, it becomes an opera board, and forms a most effectual protection to the back panel. When open, it is a rumble in the ordi nary sense of the word, forming a strong, comfortable, and safe seat for two persons. It can be fixed to any four-wheeled carriage, and detached when necessary, so that persons keeping more than one carriage can have one rumble which will fit the whole of them. The mechanism is exceedingly simple, and we saw the in ventor attach one of them to a carriage as a footman's board, change it into an opera board, unfold it, and change it into an ordinary rumble, fold it up again, and detach it from the carriage, in somewhat less time than one minute. It is simple, elegant, and useful, and must be popular. THE QUEEN'S THEATRE.--it appears that the legiti mate drama, which for a time, at least, has ceased to reign at Sadler's Wells, has taken refuge at the little Queen's Theatre, in Tottenham-street. Mr. Abington, a gentleman and a scholar, who has for some years past endeavoured to revive a taste for the drama in the provinces, and whose spirited management of the Southampton and Norwich Theatres will be long remembered, has taken the Queen's Theatre for a short period, with the intention, as we under stand, of representing the plays of Shakspere and our older dramatists as they ought to be represented—that is, as a whole, and not, as is too often the case, as monodramas, in which the play is cut up and carved and sacrificed for the sake of giving undue prominence to one particular character. As yet, we know not the composition of his corps dramatique, but we understand that it will number among its members Miss Clara Seyton, whose lectures on the drama have recently created such a sensation. This is an excellent beginning, and if this accomplished artiste is properly supported there cannot be a doubt of Mr. Abington's success. His stage manager is Mr. John Lee, Kean's John Lee, au excellent light comedian, and one whose th oroug h knowledge of stage business is a sufficient guarantee that, every play represented will be "mounted" in the beat possible style. From the judgment shown in making these engagements we are in clined to augur favourably of Mr. Abington's talents as a caterer for the public amusement, and as enthusiastic lovers of the British drama we hope his efforts will be crowned with muss. VAUXHALL -GARDENS.—The first masquerade of the season took place a t th ese gar d ens on Mon d a y, an d was attended by an imm ense num b er of persons, a great number of whom wore fan c y d resses o f a l most every imag i na bl e cos • tume," of every age and clime," for we had knights in ar mour, Don Juans in dozens, Greeks, Highlanders, sweeps, dustmen, and dissipated gentlemen of the last century. The gardens were brilliantly illuminated. Dancing in the new ball-room, which was thrown open for the first time last evening, on the platform, and before the orchestra, was kept up long after the break of day. The refreshments were of a superior description, and were liberally patronised by the masquers. Altogether the entertainment was a bumper. A CHILD SUFFOCATED IN ITS MOTHER'S ARMS.— An inquest was held on Monday, at the White Dog, Widegate street, Bishopsgate, before Mr. Payne, on the body of John Smithers, a child aged three weeks. On Sunday sight the child was put to bed in good health, and lay till morning by the side of its mother. It was then found dead and cold. Mr. Wells, surgeon, said he had no doubt, from the appear ance of the child's body, that death had arisen from suffoca tion. One of the arms was flattened, as though the child had been hugged with great force to its mother's breast. Verdict, " Accidental death from suffocation." MR. GASKILL.—We perceive that an attempt has been made to make a bankrupt of Mr. L. T. Gaskill, by Mr. Barry, of the Shipping Gazette, but without success. Mr. Gaskill was our advertising agent in London and Liverpool, and at the close of the railway mania found on his books 18,0001.—his liabilities 13,0001. Ile placed his affairs in the hands of Mr. Dobie, the solicitor to the Times, and so satis fied were all his creditors with his statement, that, with the exception of Mr. Barry, they willingly left the management of the affair in the banes of Mr. Dobie. Already 10s. in the pound has been paid, and ss. more will speedily be forth coming. The proprietors of all the morning papers have borne willing testimony to Mr. Gaskill's honourable conduct, and we have every reason to join them in this tribute to our t9l7 ll4lll Al3e.4iVerPfiel AVM al. ' MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was dull. Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales, at fully previous rates. Shares were steady. There are no arrivals to-day with later colonial, or foreign intelligence, but the ex t raor di nary events in home politics during the last few days absolutely engross almost un divided attention, while already we observe symptoms of a disposition to test practically the advantages of the new tariff. The decisions in favour of the legality of Railway Scrip Transfers excite much satisfaction in the City, because what ever might have been the intention of Parliament to unsettle the immense business done hitherto, and open the door to litigation, would be of the most serious consequences for brokers and clients. The Funds are looking very firm again to-day, and there is more inclination to transact business, the dividends being due in the course of a few days. Consols are 93% 1 / 2 for the opening. New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have touched 97. Bank Stock has been quiet at 205. Exchequer-bills have not been quite so well supported. The premium is 9s. to 11s. The Foreign Market is looking well. Spanish Three per Cents. are 37 to 14, Venezuela Bonds have been done at 42 1 / 2 , Portuguese Four per Cents. realise 4912 to 50, and Mexican have declined to 27% 1 / s . Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been quoted 61. Shares have been generally in more favour; and, with the breaking up of so many of the new schemes, an improve ment in prices is likely to be the result. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES.

WICXFORD, JUNE 28.—The Torrance, Hunter, from Que bec, arrived in this bay yesterday, leaky, having been on shore at St. Paul's. in the St. Lawrence. PASSING OF THE CORN BILL, DERBY.—The fact of the passing of the Corn and Customs' Bills, and the defeat of the Ministry on the Irish question, was telegraphed from Rugby and Derby, and thence to Leeds and York. The news arrived at Derby at nine o'clock on Friday morning (market-day), and on the appearance of the second edition of the Reporter immediately afterwards, the news spread through the town with great rapidity. The fact that the Corn and Customs' Bills were secure was the theme of re joicing, and the bells struck np merry peals in celebration of the triumph. With regard to the defeat of the Ministry, the people rejoiced that the Coercion Bill was defeated, but they seemed to regret that Sir Robert Peel should have persisted in running his head against this " Irish difficulty." We are all " agog" to see what sort of Government Lord John will form ; there must be an infusion of new blood into the Whig councils, or the country won't have a Whig Government. We are to have grand rejoicings on account of the passing of the Corn and Customs' Bills. No illumination—that is a sorry way of rejoicing, and is attended with considerable trouble and risk. A preliminary meeting will be held this morning (Monday) to consider the best thing to be done, and in all probability a requisition will be signed to the Mayor, requesting his worship to call a public meeting, in order that the plan (whatever it may be) may be carried out successfully. On Monday, one of the handles of the coffin of Mary Queen of Scots was sold among the late Mr. Upcott's cvl- Isstiou of ourioAitis tr tIPO i 1341.1. COURT CIRCULAR. Lord John Russell visitt d Sir Robert Peel yester day morning at his residence in Whitehall Gardens. At twelve o'clock his Lordship left his residence in Chesham place, accompanied by the Earl of Minto, for Osborne House, Isle of Wight, on a visit to the Queen. The Noble Lords travelled by the South Western Rail way. His Serene Highness the Prince of Leinengen arrived at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, on Monday afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty, from Frogmore House, near Windsor, the residence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. Her Majesty having been pleased to appoint - the Right Hon. Ge; , rge Earl of Aber& ea to be Lord-Lieu tenant of the county of Aberdeen (in the room of the late Earl of Erroll) his Lordship was sworn into office yesterday before a Committee of the Queen's Most Honourable Privy Council, in the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were •the Duke of Buccleuch, Lcrd President ; Lord Langdale, Master of the Rolls ; the Right Hon. T. Pemb( rton Leigh. Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall ; the Right Hon. Stephen Lushington, Judge of the Admiralty Court; Sir Edward East and Sir E. Ryan. The Hon. William Bathurst, officiated as Clerk of the Council. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of .Cambridge, at tended by Lady Augusta Cadogan, and Baron Knese beck, honoured the Duke and Duchess of Northumber land with her company yesterday at Sion House. Lord Courtenay had an interview with Mr. Secretary Gladstone yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Paymaster-General of the Forces had an inter view with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday, anti resumed the hearing of the Vasareelely case, from Madras. Mr. Parker, Queen's Counsel, was heard during the whole of the sitting. The Lords present were the Lord President, the Master of the Rolls, the Chaneellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court IBRAHIIVI PACHA. His Highness Ibrahim Pacha did not loom his hotel until shortly before eleven o'clock on Mondat morning, at which hour he proceeded, accompanied by bis suite, to Hyde park, to attend the review of the household troops. On returning from the review, his Highness retired to his apartment, where he enjoyed slight repose during the af ternoon. His Highness dined with the members of his suite at five o'clock, and subsequently drove to Cremorne House, Chelsea, for the purpose of witnessing the ascent of Mr. Charles Green's Nassau balloon. It is much to be regretted that his Highness was advised to visit this establishment, for owing to the defective ar rangements Which prevailed, the Pacha, as well as his at tendants, suffered greatly from the rudeness and indecorous conduct of the mob. On leaving the gardens, which the Pacha did with much difficulty, his Highness drove to his hotel, and did not again ride out during the evening. His Highness attended the Thames regatta yesterday, the Lord Mayor having granted him the use of the civic state barge. After inspecting the aquatic amusements, his Highness honoured the Duchess of Northumberland's fete, at Sion House, with his presence. THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDERS. Horse Guards, June 6, 1846. At a general court-martial, held at Auckland, New Zealand, on the 7th of August, 1845, and subsequent days, Lieutenant Edward Barclay, of the 96th Regi ment, was arraigned upon the under-mentioned charges, VIZ.:-- 1. For in that he, Lieutenant Edward Barclay, of the 96 'h I3egtment, did, at Russell, Bay of Islands, on the !. Ith o f March, 1845, when engaged with the marines in defence of that settlement, and whilst engaged with Ill s men on a platform, where were posted a party of c ivilians and others in charge of certain guns, shelter hiniself under an embankment for the purpose of screen his person from the fire of the enemy. 2. For in that he, Lieutenant Edward Barclay, of the 96th Regiment, did, at Russell, Bay of Islands, on the 11th of March, 1845, when it had been determined to evacuate that settlement, embark his detachment with undue precipitation, and before he had ascertained that the safety of the inhabitants and others, under the military protection of his detachment, had been duly cared for. 3. For conduct highly unbecoming a British officer, in that he, Lieutenant Edward Barclay, of the 96th Re giment, did not, at the time and place afore-mentioned, when in command of the detachment to which the mili tary protection of the settlement at Russell, in the Bay of Islands, was committed, display that zeal and energy in defence of the lives and properties of her Majesty's subjects which was required to support the honour of her Majesty's arms. Upon which charge the Court came to the following decision : " The Court having maturely considered the evidence in support of the prosecution against the prisonyr, Lieut. Edward Barclay, of the 96th Regiment, his defence, and the evidence adduced in support of it, is of opinion that, with regard to the first charge, he, the prisoner, Lieut. Edward Barclay, of the 96th Regiment, is Not Guilty, and does most fully and most honourably acquit him thereof. " With regard to the second charge the Court is of opinion, that the prisoner, Lieutenant Edward Barclay, of the 96th Regiment, is Not Guilty, and does most fully and most honourably acquit him thereof." Which acquittal has been approved of and confirmed by Lieutenant-General Sir Maurice O'Connell, com manding in New South Wiles. The Commander-in-Chief- directs that the foregoing charges preferred againq Lieutenant Edward Barclay. of the 96th Regiment, together with the finding of the O 1 9 be mitered to the aenerat ora,r hoot=, and ru.a qr the head of every regiment in her Majesty's service. By command of Field Marshall the Duke of Welling ton, Commander in-Chief. JOHN M'DONALD, Adjutant-General. MUNICIPAL BOROUGHS. An abstract of the annual accounts of the municipal boroughs in England and Wales, presented to Par liament for the year ended the 31st of August last, was yesterday printed in a document of 49 folio pages.

A CONSCIENTIOUS CLERGYMAN.—The Sabbath schools of Wattisham Baptist chapel have lately received several additions to their numbers. Not many days since, one little fellow offered himself, and begged to be admitted. The su perintendent asked him if he had attended any other school, and The reason he left; the boy answered he had just left the Church school, near by, but the curate turned him out, telling him, " He was not a Christian, and should not go again, as he was not christened." Several of these little heretics have been weeded thefr c o e mazo o n f g thep apostles.—lpswich tara by this liberal-minded successor Express. A Die. LIPSCOIYIBE. - The monument to th e . .211er E L y of the late bishop has at length been erected in St. Andrew's churchyard. It consists of a square pedestal of marble, surmounted by a cross of the same material, facing east and west. The grave adjoins that of his first wife, and both tombs are enclosed in one railing. The inscription on the south face of the pedestal runs thus :—" In respectful and affectionate memory of Christopher, th e fi rs t Bi s h o p o f Jamaica, and in the hope of a re-union through the Cross and Passion of the Lord Jesus Christ, this Monument is erected by the Clergy of the Island." The inscription on the west side runs thus :—"Obiit prid. non., April iv., Anno Dom. MDCCCXLIII. JEtat. Lx.t. Episcopat. /cur." In the centre of the east face are the arms of the see, quartered with the private arms of the bishop. The north face is blank. The inscription committee consisted of the venerable the Arch deacon and the Rev. A. Campbell—Jamaica Times, May 6. ALLIGATOR OIL.—A letter from St. Augustine, dated April 12, says :—" I suppose that you may not have heard that we have discovered the utility of alligators. An alligator is found to be as valuable in his way as a spermaceti whale. An expedition has left this place for the river of St. John's, and the dark tributary stream of Black Creek, swarming with these hideous creatures, with the view of killing them to obtain their oil. The oil of the alligator is said to be better for lamps than even whale oil, and it is extracted from the animal in considerable quantity, and without any great difficulty. For this dis covery we are indebted to the Indians, who have been in the habit of extracting the oil of the alligator and using it for various purposes. It makes a fine transparent fluid, and burns admirably, You know how many of these enormous animals are shot out of wantonness from the decks of the steam- boats that plough our waters. I ex pect hereafter to hear of laws passed for their protection. Every time an alligator of eighteen feet long is shot in the long grass of the river banks, or while he is swimming, a barrel, or half a barrel of oil, as the case may be, is wasted. This should not be. We must allow them to be killed only at a proper season, when they are fattest, and not permit their destruction at the season when they lay their eggs. The alligator is a formidable-looking creature, it is true, but he is generally harmless. His office is to prowl in the sluggish waters of this southern region, pick up what he can and digest it into excellent oil for the illumination of our houses. Alligators will be hereafter esteemed as useful ani ntals as pigs —perhaps more so, for their keeping costs nothing. rhe danger is, that now that the world has discovered what they are good for, their race will be exterminated.—Montreal 7 inset.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENTS —THREE MEN KILLED. —Between two and three o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, Jackson Wilkinson, of Penrith, labourer, aged twenty alit years, and Bernard Dean, aged fifteen, were killed in a most shocking manner on the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail' way, near Plumpton Hall, about three miles north of Pen- rith. It appears that Wilkinson was the brakesman of the waggons which were taken down by the steam-engine front the ballast-pit near Kettleside, to the filling up of a boggy place in Plumpton Back-street, and he was conducting a train of loaded waggons down the incline- to the tip end, the engine having just before been disconnected from them, when two of the foremost waggons run off the rails and upset with a most dreadful crash, and the two men were thrown off with great violence. The waggons ran over them and literally smashed them to atoms. Wilkinson's head was nearly split in two, and he was otherwise most dreadfully crushed. Dean was sitting on one of the fore most waggons when the accident happened, and was killed in a most s h oc ki n g manner, his head being all but severed from his body, and his arms and legs smashed to pieces. The brains of these two unfortunate individuals were scattered on the spot. The bodies were soon afterwards removed to Mr. James Heskett's, Plumpton Hall, and afterwards they were conveyed in a cart to their respective homes at Penrith, to await the-Coroner's inquest. Another man, it was rumoured , the same afternoon, was killed on the same line between Hee' ket and Carlisle, but the particulars of whose death had not • come to the knowledge of our correspondent. FREE TRADE.—The intelligence of the " Corn portation Bill" having passed and received the Royal assent , consequently naw forming part and parcel of the law of the land, was received by the farmers at market on Saturday with anything but discomfiture. The feeling prevalent amongst them appeared to be, that as the Bill is now become law, the best way to treat it is to wait and see its effects before they express any further opinion with regard to its operation. Although the accounts of the London markets on Friday were rather discouraging, they had very little elfeet upon the wheat market h ere , as th e d ec li ne did no t exceed 19. per quarter, except for the inf er i or qua liti es . This clear ly shows that the farmers who have corn to sell are far fF,° . • being alarmed at the change, a n d en t er tai n no fear tiri there is risk in holding the remaining part of their otoOg EO a few weekL.lpowicish'irprem. £223,070 15 4i I
