TORY ARITHMETIC AND LOtAC. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Times having first asserted that the Irish majority consisted of the " nominees of O'Connell," and having been upset by the "facts" of the Chronicle, proving that the new Members were anything but Mr. O'Connell's " nomi nees," now " jumps Jim Crow," and finds out, that although Mr. O'Connell's friends are less numerous than before in the body of Irish Members, yet that as part of that body are attached to him, these Members constitute the Minis terial majority of the whole House !!! Upon this ingenious plan, any two-score or so of Mem bers may be proved to be the " majority." We have only to set them apart from the rest, and having arranged the remainder of the House into two equal masses, exclaim— " Thus it is clear, that the Members we have selected are those who constitute the Ministerial majority." Let us borrow a leaf out of our adversaries' book, and maintain, that as we have enough of other Members to balance the Conservatives. Our majority ofthirty-four con sists of the sixteen Metropolitan Members (representing near two millions of people), with the representatives of Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Coventry, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Cork, containing nearly a million and a half more ! ! In logic as in legislation, " what is good for the goose is good for the gander." BALLOON ASCENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF MRS. COCKING. DESCENT OF TWO PARACHUTES. —Yesterday evening Mrs. Graham made an ascent from the gardens of the Mer maid Tavern, Hackney, in her Royal Victoria balloon, for the benefit of the widow of the late Mr. Cocking. Attached to the balloon were two parachutes, which were exact models of those used by M. Garnerin and Mr. Cocking, the descent of which was intended to show the comparative safety of their particular structure. The parachutes were made of cotton, the frame-work of cane. In an apartment of the tavern were exhibited the model of Mr. Cocking's parachute, manufactured by himself ; likewise several models of balloons, and other things con nected with Wrostation, also the work of that unfortunate gentleman. In one corner of the room were placed the remains of the parachute with which Mr. Cocking made his rash experiment. In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather the gardens yi ere not well attended, there not being more than eight hundred people present, and that number, we should think, scarcely sufficient to pay the expenses in curred ; therefore, as far as benefit is concerned, it must be considered a total ;allure. About a quarter past six the inflation of the balloon being completed, a bar of wood was placed across the car, along the upper surface of which ran a cord, passing through holes at each extremity. To the ends of the cords were attached the respective parachutes ; so that by cutting the cord in the centre, they would descend at the same mo ment. All the arrangements being completed, Mrs. Graham entered the car, accompanied by a Mr. John Adams, and the balloon ascended in very beautiful style. Having attained an altitude of six or seven hundred feet, Mrs. Graham cut the cord which supported the parachutes, and they descended at the same moment. It was some seconds before the model of M. Garnerin's parachute opened, and when it did, the oscillation complained of on the occasion of the actual descent of that gentleman took place ; that of Mr. Cocking was somewhat slower in its descent, and very steady. The parachutes fell in the grounds of a gentleman very near the place of ascent, and were shortly after brought back to the gardens. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning the inha bitants of Knightsbridge were thrown into a state of great ' consternation and alarm by the sudden burstinr , forth of a most alarminc , fire upon the premises of Mr. James Clark, potatoe salesman, N 0.2, Middle-row, at the junction of the Fulham with the great Western Road, nearly oppo site Sloane-street. It was discovered by police constable Gough, T 44, who, while on duty near the spot, observed flames issuing through the shutters of the shop front. He instantly gave an alarm, and, within a few minutes after wards, a smell engine belonging t) St. Margaret's, West minster, in which parish that portion of the neighbourhood is situated, was brought to the spot, followed in about ton minutes he Martin, the Kensington beadle, with a very large engine, built about 60 years since for the British Museum. hut, now placed at Brompton during the repair of the Ken,ineten district engine, which was of moat essential ser vie:, hi preventing the destruction of the whole triangle of buildings, consistiog of upwards of thirty houses, escitisi%e of a large range of livery stables, the whole of which were for some time in great danger of falling a prey to the de vouring element. Fortunately there was a most plentiful supply of iv iter from the plugs of the Chelsea Water Works Company, and the above engiucs being got into Immediate operation, centinu d streams was poured on the flames, which I , ad by that time extended to the back promises of Mr. Moore, cutler, at the eastern corner of the Great ;Western-road; Mr. Kershaw, .fruiterer ; and Mr. Carter, tripeman, at the corner of the Fulham road. At • that time, however, the Horns Tavern (Chelsea) engine was brought to the spot, closely followed by an engine be longing to the County Fire Office, which was dragged by Itlnd from the engine-house, at tie hack of the Quadrant, Regent-street, and seven engines helonging to the London Fire Establishment, under the superintendence of Braiulwoed, and the West of England engine, the whole of which were instantly got i.rito operation, and under whose combined influence the flames were, we are happy to say, by seven o'clock sufficiently subdued to allay all fear of their extending further. Several of the houses adjoining have sustained trifling injury. How the fire originated is at present a mystery, but it is reported that a man in the employ of Mr. Clark was observed by the police about three o'clock to enter the premises in a state of intoxication, and it is supposed to have been oeca-ioned through his negligence. The half-yearly meeting of the pronrictote of the General Steam Navigation Company was held yesterday at the office of the Company, No. 0, Lombard-street, wi.ich was numerously attended. The Report from the Direct‘;rs of the proceedings of the half year ending the 30th of June last nos read, and gave general satisfaction. It, is stated that the Neptune, of 650 tons, built by Messrs. Greene and Wigraro r and the Leith, of 780 tons, built by Messrs. Menzies, of Leith, had been added to the fleet of the Company. After declaring the dividend for the half year ending the 30th of June last the unanimous thanks of the proprietors were voted to the Chairman and Directors, and the meeting separated. The depot of the London and Birmingham Railway at Camden Town, on the side opposite the fiAds, is en closed by a high wall, which, after rising to a considerable height, is all at once narrowed, so as to leave a slight ledge on the outer side, about four feet from the top of the wall. On Sunday afternoon, a number of boys were en deavouring so walk along this ledge, holding on by the top of the wall, and among others a boy of about thirteen years of age, named Hurlock, whose parents reside in Somers' Town. After proceeding for a considerable distance, Hurlock, becoming giddy, lost his footing, and fell with great force to the ground. He was taken up insensible, and remained so for a considerable time, but by the appli cation of water to his forehead and face, was at last brought round. In addition to a severe cut under one of his eyes, it was found that he bad hurt one of his legs. By the assistance, however, of one of his companions, he was able, after the lapse of half an hour, to proceed homewards. As this feat is often attempted by the boys and lads who frequent the Chalk Farm fields, it is astnnishing that more serious accidents do not occur. Being outside the depot, the Company's officers who are placed within cannot inter fere to prevent it, while the policemen are necessarily dis persed through the neighbouring fields. If the Company were to station one or more of their officers outside the in closure, they might prevent serious accidents, and certainly would save the walls from the damage which they must sustain from the efforts of persons anxious to get a sight of the interior. ORKNEY.-On Monday morning last there was an important capture of whales, of the bottle-nose species, made in Scapa Bay, near Kirkwall. A hundred and sixty were taken in all, varying in length from six to twenty-two feet each. The massacre was dreadful, and the whole scene had something of the sublime and terrific in it. The Bay was for a time metamorphosed ad literam into a " Red Sea," and the shore presented the spectacle of a hundred and sixty dead carcasses ranged along it. A sale after wards took place of these monsters of the deep. They were disposed of in different lots, and brought upwards of 4001. At Stromness upwards of sixty whales of the same species made their appearance, and a number of them run on shore. We have been informed that a number of the same description are ashore at Stronza. Some hundreds of them were also seen off Scapa Bay since the first capture, but though hotly pursued, they got off.—John 0' Groat's Journal. The consumption of gold for gilding at the various potteries is said to amount to upwards of 6001. a week, and the consumption of coals in the same period is about 800 tons. Some time before the death of his late Majesty, he was informed of the great necessity which existed at St. Bude, in Cornwall, for the establishment of a life-boat. He immediately gave orders for one to be constructed at his own expense, and presented to the inhabitants. It arrive to d here yesterday, on board the brig Rosina, belging Messrs. Winlnw and Son, and will be forwarded to Bude as soon as possible. It was built at Sunderland, and cost one hundred guineas. It is a gift well worthy the benevolent heart of England's sailor ding.—Deveriport Independent. PitlCEs OF si CKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. sank Stock.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 30, 183' Lord PALMERSTON'S address to his constituents appears to have given great dissatisfaction to the if we may judge from the tone of their public organs The Times, according to its wont, vents its anger it abusive language ; the Standard is very solemn, and would be very argumentative if it could, but mis takes dulness for gravity, and ponderosity for weight while the Morning Post is absolutely in hysterics at the cheering prospect which the Noble Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs holds out to the Liberal party. We do not blame the Tory Journa lists for this. They are acting according to that natural impulse which makes men hate those whom they have injured. There is no Member of the Ad minis'ration so obnoxious to the Tories—none against whom they have poured out so great a quantity of abuse—as Lord PALMERSTON. And why? Because the Noble Lord possesses commanding talents, and has employed them energetically in the service of his country, to the great discomfiture of the enemies of liberty, both at home and abroad. He can never be forgiven for baffling the rebellious schemes of Don CARLOS, the pet of Russia, and of the Anglo-Hano verian faction in this country. The passage in Lord PALMERSTON'S address which has stung the faction most sensibly, is the fol lowing ;--‘, The result of the general election has been, to give to the Reformers a decided and sure ma jority in the House of Commons, fully sufficient to secure the ascendancy of those principles of Govern ment which you profess, and according to which you desire to see the affairs of the country administered." This is a very bitter cud for Toryism to chew. The professors of that political creed had anticipated a re sult somewhat different from this. They cannot, therefore, brook to hear or think of " a decided anit sure majority," in favour of those and which,Libera principlesl which they hold in a bhorrence ; n follow ing the example of their Hanoverian Chief, they have laboured with all their might to trample under foot and destroy. To admit the important fact stated by Lord PALMERSTON, although they are convinced of it in their own minds, is a stretch of honesty not to be expected from those who Ede by the perversion of fact, and in the habitual viola. tion of truth. They therefore perk up their ears, and a udaciously deny that there is such a majority as that stated by the Noble Lord. But when we look for the grounds of their denial—when we come to examine the foundation of their fanciful hypothesis — what do our readers suppose they rely upon as a convincing proof of the inaccuracy of Lord PAL MERSTON'S statement ? Why this—that the Noble Lord inculcates upon the Liberal party the neces sity of union, in order to secure success I If there had not been some misgivings, argue these wiseacres, why talk about union; as if union were not indispen sable to any party, however strong in other respects. 'ones, Due HE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY , AUG UST 30, 1837. Ministerial list, and once more commit the reins of the Government to the uncontrolled direction of CA LAT RA VA and his late colleagues. New to this ar rangement ESPARTERO cannot, consistently with any regard to his personal safety, consent. He is too deeply implicated in a plot, of which he knows M DIZABAL is acquainted with the minutest details. The farce of throwing the blame of ousting the late Cabinet on his officers was put an end to on the 20th, by the public entry into Madrid of several of the officers, whom the Commander-in-Chief ordered to be arrested for a treasonable coercion of the SOVEREIGN. These traitors probably fearing that ESPARTERO, failing in his ambitious designs, might sacrifice them to screen himself, or, what would be equally fatal, leave them to glut the vengeance of the populace, adopted this sufficiently significant mode of giving the nation to un derstand that they had really nothing to fear from the threats of the Government. But will the Cortes allow themselves to be thus bearded with impunity ? We think not. They will threaten, and strike too if time be allowed them. But ESPARTERO is just now all powerful at Court, and the Royal mantle all-protective. We shall by and by have another of those moral and political whitewashes—an amnesty. We greatly fear that the news of the upsetting of the Madrid Cabinet by military violence will be fol lowed by scenes of fearful outrage in the provincial capitals of Spain, and in all the large towns where political juntas are established. The massacre of the Governor of Vittoria, Don LABORIO GONZALES, the commander of the National Guards, and twelve other officers, coupled with the almost simultaneous massacre of General ESCALERA at Miranda dill Ebro, and four officers of his staff, seems only the prelude to scenes of bloodshed and crime which we shudder to contem plate. Spain is fast losing her reason—as we always predicted she would do unless France and England combined to put an end to the civil war ; and our readers may rely upon it, that if she plunge into the abyss, on the brink of which she is now reeling in the first paroxysm of delirium, blood will flow in rivers through every city, town, and village, in the Penin sula. The Spaniards begin to despair of Spain ; they have no longer confidence in the army or in them selves ; and we all know that excessive terror begets excessive cruelty. From what dreadful calamities — from what horrible crimes—from what a load of shame, sorrow, and remorse, would not the intervention of France and England even now deliver the Peninsula! The following extract from a letter, from the Cor respondent of the Chronicle at San Sebastian, dated the 24th instant, will give our readers an idea of the feeling produced in the capital of Guipuzcoa by the news of ESPARTERO'S appointment to the Presidency of the Council. It may be as well to state that ESPA LITER° was as popular in the Basques before s event as in any other part of Spain—indeed But let us hear Lord PALMERSTON'S own words " It will undoubtedly be necessary for the Re formers to remain united ; for by union among themselves, by perseverance against difficulties, and by patience under temporary delays, the Refor mers of the three United Kingdoms will ensure the steady progress of Legislative improvement." There it is. There is the portentous sentence upon which the organs of the faction build their hopes:of Ministerial weakness and of Tory triumph. Well may the more rational of the set adopt the lan guage of Job, and exclaim " miserable comforters are ye all," if this be all the consolation you have to give. That the Tories should dislike the hint about union, we can very easily believe. It can never be associated in their minds with any pleasurable reflections, for they can never forget that it was on the disunion of the Reformers that Sir ROBERT PEEL founded hi s sole hope of being able to carry on his Government, when the irruption of the Tories took place in 1834 ; and that it was their union which upset all his hopes, and drove him ignominiouSly from the helm. After this, can we wonder at the hostility of the Hanoverians to those who recommend union to the Liberals? We should as soon expect rats to be in love with poison. We have read with great pleasure the speech which Mr. WAKLEY delivered yesterday at an entertainment to'which he was invited by his friends and supporters in Finsbury. It is throughout characterized by sound sense, and a manly, uncompromising spirit of liberality. The Hon. Gentleman is no mere visionary in politics ; he does not trouble himself with crotchets and vague theories ; but argues the question of Reform in a prac tical, straight-forward, and statesman-like spirit. " He admired that man," observed Mr. WAKLEY, " who whenever the opportunity offered of bettering the condition of his fellow-men, gladly embraced it. They were favourable to an extension of the Suffrage, and to the shortening of the duration of Parliaments; but would they take nothing short of the fullest extension of the suffrage, or would they reject any shortening of the duration of Parliaments which did not fully accom plish their wishes ? He was for making any progress to-day that would strengthen his position to-morrow ; and, in his judgment, any man who refused to go along with him on that principle, did not desire to go along with him at all." This is just the spirit in which all genuine Reformers should act. They should not refuse much, because they cannot, at the moment, get all that they feel they are entitled to ; but accept every • instalment that is offered them, as an acknowledgment of the whole debt. Accept one measure of Reform, no matter how far short it may fall of your just ex pectations, and you pave the way for obtaining ano ther far more enlarged one. It is thus Mr. O'CoN NELL is acting as respects Ireland. He proceeds on the principle of gradually ameliorating her condition by a series of temperate and enlightened measures of Reform ; for which none %s ill blame him but those who, like SHARMAN CRAWFORD, think that no. thing is worth struggling for, but that which, under existing circumstances, is unattainable. Such imprac ticable Reformers, who stand coldly aloof from a great cause unless it is advocated after their own fashion ; who mistake a crotchet for a principle ; and despondingly cry out that the battle is lost, because it is not fought according to their own theory of war—such Reformers, however sincere and well-intentioned they may be, do a world of mischief, for they not only dishearten their friends, but actually play the game of the Tories. If he desire to become an available public servant, a Re former should dismiss all dreamy theories of constitu tional perfection, and abide resolutely by those im provements only which arc intelligible and practical in their character. To act otherwise, is to grasp at the shadow, and let go the substance. The Paris Journals of Monday bring some inte resting intelligence from Spain, though not of a later date than the accounts received in London direct from Madrid. The following official dispatches, commu- nicated by telegraph to the French Government, are copied from the columns of the Moniteur : " NARBONNE, AuG.26, 5 o'CLocr, A.M. " PERPIGNAN, AUG. 2.,5. " THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 21ST MILITARY DIV SION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " It was known in Valencia on the 20th, that the Pre tender, after having advanced to Cella, had again fallen back on the mountains of Cantavieja. Tl:e rebels are in creasing in the kingdom of Valencia, of which General Lo renzo has been appointed Captain-General ad interim. " Oraa had hi; head-quarters at Teruel. The provin cial junta forwarded on the 15th a violent address to the Queen Regent. " According to advices from Barcelona of the 23d, Cadiz, Malaga, and Barcelona have addressed the most energetic remonstrances to the Queen, complaining in un measured terms of the partiality of Mendizabal towards British trade. Baron de Meet's resignation of the post of Captain- Gc ne..al of Catalonia has been accepted. Generals Pastors and Puig had likewise tendered theirs. " On the 20th o' her re-elections of officers of the Na tional-Guard commenced in Barcelona ; the Bullanguero (Republican) party obtained a complete triumph. The Cariists took possession of Llora on the Ebro, by capitu lation. The Baron de Meer was marching upon theses, which is occupied by the insurgents." " BAYONNE, AUG. 26, lIALZ?I'AST 5 O'CLOCK, P.M. " THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The Carlist expedition (Zeriategui's) continued to re treat, and had reached Belorado on the 23d. " The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 24th inst. states, that General Jauregui (El Pastor) had fallen into disgrace, and was to be sent on half-pay to Vittoria. The military Governor of St. Sebastian was said to be much dissatisfied with the disorders committed by the British Legion, not withstanding that the soldiers of it are now regularly paid. Three Carlist battalions and 60 cavalry left Sesma, on the 18th, under the command of General Garcia, and marched towards Cascar, in the Ribera. The Christino column of that district, quartered near Pampeluna, set out on the same day, with three additional battalions, in pursuit of General Garcia. On the 19th, three other Carlist bat talions proceeded from Mondragon, towards the Incarta ciones, under the order of General Uranga: Advices from Vittoria announce that a rising had taken place in that town, in which the commander of the Na tional Guard, the military governor, and 13 other persons, had been killed. Don Martin Zarbano had been appointed governor of the city. It was also rumoured that another movement had occurred at Miranda de Ebro, and that Ge neral Escalera, two colonels, and two officers, had been butchered by the troops." In Spain matters are fast driving on from bad to worse. The social aspect of the Peninsula was fright fully gloomy before the downfall of the late Cabinet ; but now the blackness of night shrouds every feature in which we could hope to read a revelation of the fu ture. It was reported on the 20th in Madrid, that ESPARTERO, finding he could not organise a Cabinet— for Senors CNACON, SALVATO, VADILLO, SAINZ, and ARMENDARIZ had severally refused to join him —had informed the QUEEN that he would retain the war department, and leave to her MAJESTY the choice of a President of the Council I If this intelligence be correct—and it is extremely probable—what step can her MAJESTY take ? To think of recalling CA LATRAVA and MENDIZABAL, and at the same time keep ESPARTERO in the Cabinet, would be ridicu lous. Were these Ministers to admit of such a col league, they would deservedly be branded as the most unprincipled political scoundrels in Europe. MAR.. TINEZ DE LA ROSA, Count TORENO, and ISTU RIZ, are politically defunct. Their re-appearance upon the stage would be the signal for a general mas sacre, in which the sanctity of the Palace would, unquestionably, be violated. NARVAEZ has no influence, and Count ALMODOVAR is a hypo condriacal invalid. Her MAJESTY is therefore reduced to the necessity of perilling the throne of her daughter by continuing to cling to ESPARTERO and the army; or she must strike his name opt of the more so 7.—+ " The intelligence I communicated to you the day before yesterday respecting the appointment of Espartero to the Ministry, has been confirmed by the arrivals of to-day. It is impossible to describe the surprise and disgust this affair occasioned. The late Ministry is universally blamed fog: the event. They could not be ignorant of the plot which has been many months preparing by the Estatutist party ; and had they at the outset acted manfully and energetically, it must have tumbled to pieces. As to the Luchana admi nistration lasting a week, the idea is scouted ; but it is more than feared that the results of even its birth may prove subversive of the Constitutional cause in many parts of the country. The only hope which the events of the last few days tend to raise is the consignment to perpetual ignominy, if not worse, of the traitor—the doubly traitor—Espartero. May it be so ; but Spain's evil genius seems so mixed up with the fortunes of this man that I almost despair of so much good springing from an event so bad." There is no domestic news in the French journals. The advices from Madrid, contained in the annexed ex tract, are so serious that we are only prevented from giving them a more prominent place in our columns by a consideration of the impure channel through which they come. The French Carlist organs arc too notorious for their Madrid fabrications to obtain the implicit confidence of any English journal with proper opportunities of ascertaining the correctness of thou sands of rumours to which they are daily in the habit of giving currency. It is barely possible that some of the alleged occurrences are stated correctly : The following letter from Madrid, dated the 20th, pub lished by a journal of that city, shows the state of confusion and trouble in which that capital now is : The streets of San Barnardo, Fuencarrae, San Luis and the quarter Dos Consejos have been crowded since three o'clock in the afternoon with people who are incessantly crying " Down with the Ministry ; down with the cowardly Of ; down with the Retrogrades ; down with the French Ambassador." Far from being arrested, they are encouraged even by the women. I think that the night will not pass without blood flowing in the streets of the capital. The National Militia and the popular authorities oppose the confirmation of the new Ministers. Besides, there are only two of them concurring. San Miguel and Bardaxi fur Espartero, have been at two leagues distance ever since the evening before yesterday, and Pio-Pito Pizarro has to day sent word to her Majesty that he cannot accept the office. Nobody is willing to incur the responsibility of this department. It is indispensably necessary that the Queen should de clare herself. To-day, at ten o'clock, there have been placed about the Palace two battalions, and cannon at every corner, and at every gate. All the houses are closed. At the Puerta del Sol two cannon have likewise been placed ; the number of men at the principal corps de garde, which is usually thirty, was increased this morning to two companies of 140 men. The Infant Don Francisco de Paula, this morning, ad vised the Queen -Regent to reinstate the late Ministers. May the Ordinance appear to-day, otherwise the revolution will not be checked. General Espartero is disgraced for his whole life ; it is affirmed that he has fled this morning in disguise, and that he has abandoned his troops at Mezzas and Torrelodones." La Gazette de Francs. The expedition against Constantine is resolved upon. The order to undertake it must have left Paris to-day. It was not till after he had tried in vain all means ef nego tiation, that General Damremont, provoked to the utmost by the haughty refusal of Achmet, thought it necessary to apply to the Government for fresh orders, and to solicit reinforcements in case it should decide upon war. This request for reinforcements is founded on the great number of sick, by which the ranks of the army is reduced. It is in these terms that the question has been laid before the council of Ministers, and decided in the affirmative. As we have just said, at the sane time that General Damremont was authorised to undertake the expedition, orders were sent to Admirals Gallois and Lalande, to go with their squadrons to blockade Tanis, where, according to positive information, persons coming from Constantinople were to be landed, being intended for Constantina.—Le Commerce.

We direct attention to an able article from the Na tional—so well known to the admirers of the Liberal daily press of France—on the present social and poli tical state of Sicily, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The absurd prejudices of the Na tional against England, which have led to such foul misrepresentations of the motives by which we have been influenced with respect to the Spanish contest, peep out even here ; though we will not take upon us to affirm that England might not have taken a more de cided part in favour of the liberties of the Sicilians. But may we not proudly ask, what other nation has done so much, or made so many voluntary sacrifices to preserve the liberties of Europe ? And may we not as proudly answer—NONE I France has yet to make any national sacrifice for such a purpose, of which she herself was not the agent and the object. If England have failed in establishing freedom on the continent, on a basis so firm as to bid defiance to faithless Sovereigns, her con science does not smite her with the recollection of uniting with tyrants to put, down Constitutions—with playing the executioner at the command of despots. THE MARKETS--(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies of all Grain this week are small. The wea ther having been extremely wet for many hours, has occasioned the factors to demand considerably higher prices for Wheat ; and though most of the millers hesitated to comply with the terms, yet such sales as were made obtained 2s. to 3s. per quarter advance en Monday's prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease are each held for more money than last market day. Oats are also rather dearer. The arrival of Flour is inconsi derable, and shop prices are 2s. per sack higher then Monday.

CITY: T W ELTE O'CLOCK. Cape of Good Hope papers received to the 18th June give , the following from the frontier :—" The post from the frontier having been again delayed by the rain, we have only time to state that all remains tranquil on the border and in Cafferland. rive head of Government cattle have been missed from Double Drift ; the spoil was traced into Cafferland, and notice given to Stock, the nearest Pallati. Stock, when met by the messengers, was engaged in hunt ing ; lie immediately stopped the hunting, and sent some of his people to search for the cattle, which he recovered, and proposed at the same time to give up to the colonial authorities the two thieves, according to the treaty—so much for the savage Stock." With the exception of the Spanish news, we have no intelligence of any consequence in the city to the present hour, which may be attributed to the few arrivals. THE FUNDS.

A very considerable and painful excitement has taken place at Ruislip, Hillingdon, Eastcote, and other villages in Middlesex, in consequence of a lamentable catastrophe having taken place in the family of Mr. Bignell, a farmer residing at Eastcoto, on Saturday last. Between 12 and I o'clock on Saturday the storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, raged at the above-named villages. In a field at Hil lingdon several trees and o uthouses were struck by noldlight ning, and two fine cows, the property of r. Reys, were killed. At Ruislip the roof of the George Inn was struck by the electric fluid and seriously injured, and many farms in the vicinity sustained by the violence of the storm damage to a considerable amount. About two o'clock the family of Mr. Bignell, a farmer resident at Eastcote, as above stated, were assembled at dinner, when the electric fluid descending the chimney struck most of those assem bled at table, and laid them prostrate. Two of the chil dren, very fine boys, named James and John, were killed on the spot. Mrs. Bignell and two of the other children were struck senseless and scorched severely, Mrs. Bignell had her right ancle dislocated, and was otherwise much in jured. Mr. Bignell and a servant who were in the room escaped. The Rev. Mr. Harvey, the rector of Ruislip, the churchwardens, and other officers of the parish, as also a number of the gentry of the neighbourhood, visited Mr. Bignell's house on Saturday evening, and during the whole of Sunday 4uu Monday, and afforded every consolation to the afflicted father.

We regret to announce the death of the only sur viving child of the late Countess Walewski, formerly LatlY Emily Montagu, second daughter of the Countess of Sand-. wich, and sister of the present Earl. It w ill probably be in the recollection of most of our readers that the unfortu nate Countess Walewski died very suddenly in Paris shortly after her accouchement, under extremely melancholy cir cumstances. Some carpeting being thrown from the upper story of an opposite dwelling, her ladyship imagined it was a person fallen out of the window, and her fright was so great that she expired shortly afterwards, being previously in a delicate state of health. Her Ladyship left an interest ing infant daughter, who became the object of the most de voted affection and care of Lady Sandwich. This interesting little girl, who had attained the fifth year of her age, ex pired a few days since in Paris, and her remains have ar rived in town, on their way for interment in the family' vault at Hinchinbrook, Huntingdonshire, The Countess of Sandwich and Count Walewski, her son-in-law, have left Paris for the South of France.
