ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. "MIRY 'MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY. VIEW of NAPLES, ERUPTION of VESUVIUS, DESTRUC TION of HERCULANEUM and POMPEII, in the year 79. This Magnificent spectacle is revived in an unprecedented scale of grandeur, the picture being more than twice the size of the former, and represents, as accurately as can possibly be done, the Great Eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79, when the Destruction of Her culaneum and Pompeii took place : produced under the direction of Mr. Damon. A richly ornamented GOTHIC BRIDGE of STATUES has been Constructed, which will be brilliantly Illuminated at Night. The PROMENADE CONCE RTA are again confided to Mr. God frey. The Band is most complete in ail its departments, and includes 'many eminent native and foreign musicians. In - addition to the other attractions of the Gardens. will be exhi bited CALYPSO'S FAIRY GROTTO, approached by the Illumi nated Gothic Bridge, representing in the Interior Telemachus relating his adventures to Calypso. The PYItOTECIINIC I)ISPLA YS, by Mr. Southby, are on the most complete and effective scale. Preceding tho Volcanic Display, a novel exhibition will he intro duced, representing the Descent of Plicebus in the Chariot of the Sun. Mons. larinelli will descend from a Chinese Pagoda, seventy feet in height, to the surface of the lake, where a Naiad's Car will rise to receive him, and bear him to his chrystal home.

Feeding of the arnivora at half-past five; the Pelicans, lice., at Si ; Concert at half-past six ; and the Eruption at dusk. . . Admission, FESTIVITIES AT THE MANsI , N HOUSE —We are in formed that his Royal highness Prince Albert has acce pt e d the Lord Mayor's invitation to the forthcoming banquet to the Presidents of the Royal Society,and other distin g uished literary and scientific institutions in England. The enter tainment is appointed to take place in the E gypt i an -h all, at the Mansion- house, on Friday next, and will d ou b t l ess 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 paella and a large circle of the nobility. THE COBDEN TRIECTE Fr :cp.—The subscriptions up to yesterday eyening amounted to 22,0001. Lord Joins RUSSELL has ) by his subsequent 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 be regarded as so memorable ; and, in doing so, Lord JOHN 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.

TEL SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1A46. him as Solicitor- General, and afterwards as At torney-General, as he now does as Lord Chief Baron. Mr. Pm:yr 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 originally 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. MONAHAN, 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 BRAVO. The object of the intriguers is to give Spain an excuse for send ing an armed force into Portugal, for the purpose event ually of uniting Portugal to Spain. The Spanish Heraldo contains a long article advocating an armed intervention. Madrid papers to the 29th ult. have been received. A grand Te Deum was sung in all the churches on the 28th, in celebration of the election of the new Pope. The 29th being a fete, the Bolsa was closed. 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. The Epoque publishes the following letter from Oran:— " °LAX, JUNE 25. " A boat arrived on the 22d ult. from Djemma-Ghazaouat 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 Ghazaouat 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 in 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 sur render. They refused to lay down their arms, however, and, in consequence, the whole of th em perished ; some killed by our soldiers, all the others were drowned." The Toulonnais of the 2d publishes letters from Algeria of the 26th ult., which represent Ann-EL -LEADER auil But, DIAZA as fugitive 3 deserted and de spised by their countrymen—the Arabs and Kabyles as annihilated—and the French rule in that province as securely established. M. DE 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, Jcz.r 6.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. THE SUN PAPER.—We feel much indebted to the spirited proprietor of The Sun paper for forwarding to this town, through that enterprising news-agent, Mr. Westley, express editions of that paper on Monday night last. We received a copy of Monday's Sun shortly after nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, containing Sir R. Peel's speech, a full report of the entire debate on the Ministerial resignation, and other important news, being nearly ten hours before the arrival of the intelligence by any other channel. Papers were also sent to the various public reading-rooms; and the early information thus given was viewed with much satisfac tion by the great body of the subscribers.—Plymonth •nd Devonport Herald. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE COMMON PLEAS.—We regret to record the sudden and melancholy demise of that most excellent and universally esteemed judge, Sir Nicolas Conyngham Tindal, Knight, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. The melancholy event took place at his seat near Folkestone last night. 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 judament and consideration of the judges was required. The attack was not, however, so serious as to create any alarm, and no apprehension of his recovery was entertained until yesterday afternoon, when the Learned Judge was again attacked with the complaint in so serious a manner that Dr. Penington, who was in attendance on him, was compelled to announce that he could not,entertain any hope. The attack continued, baffling all medical skill, until death put an end to his sufferings., in the presence of his family and 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 appointment his attention to his judical duties have been unremitting. FEARFUL 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 terminate fatally, occurred to a youth named William Parsons, about sixteen years old, groom to Captain Cumming, of the Coldstream Guards. It appears that the unfortunate lad was mounted on a very spirited animal be longing to his master, and just as he got opposite the United Service Club, in Pall Mall, was thrown on the stones with great force, the horse going down at the same time and breaking one of his hind legs. The injured youth was at 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. aTt QUARTER DO THREE. 'the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was &did. Sales 7,000 bales, including 500 bales of American for 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 score 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, if the Lisbon Government applies 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% to 95%. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 14s. to 175., and firm. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 97 1 / s to 97%. Bank Steck has been supported at 208, and East Indian Stock, ex. dividend, has been quoted 26114. 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 85 1 / 2 ; Mexican Bonds have improved to 27 and 27k. 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. BRITISH FUNDS.

The First Part, price 3s. 6d., of this cheap and elegant series of copyright works, just issued by Mr. Bentley, comprises the far-famed "Letters of Horace Walpole" ( to be completed in six volumes), embellished with fine portraits of Sir Robert Walpole, and Catherine Shorter, his first wife, and Dorothey, Viscountess Townshend. "We have seen no more acceptable series of cheap literature than that which Mr. Bentley has commenced, for it gives us cheap.. ness without any sacrifice of convenience or comfort. The works appear with such elegance of paper and print as to fit them for the most luxurious library, and at a price which places them within the range of persons of moderate fortune. The e3e is not wearied by small print and crowded pages Instead of imperfect wood-cuts, we have steel plates ex ecuted in the best style of art. We are glad that the pub lisher has commenced the series with the inimitable letters of Horace Walpole, a correspondence which, for lively wit, shrewd appreciation of character and thorough knowledge of English parties at an important period of history, has no rival is the whole range of the world's literature."—The League.

Oltrnin_ti LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1846. THE NEW MINISTRY. The members of the new Ministry are entering on their official duties at all the Government offices. Lord Palmerston and the Hon. E. J. Stanley have commenced their duties at the Foreign-office, as Secretary and Under-Secretary; Lord Auckland and the Hon. William Cowper have assumed office at the Admiralty, the former as First, and the latter as one of the Junior Lords. The O'Conor Don has at tended at the Treasury as one of the Junior Lords. Lord Edward Howard, son of the Duke of Norfolk, acts as Lord John Russell's Private Secretary. Mr. Arbuthnot, Private Secretary to Sir Robert Peel, has been appointed to the same office under Mr. Charles Wood, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. To-morrow the officers of the Queen's Household will he appointed at the Privy Council, at Bucking ham Palace, the present Great Officers of State con- tinning 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 MOEPETH 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 JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE 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 fire 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 merely 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 RUSSELL 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 energy, 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, HODUOUSE, MACAULAY, MORPETIf, COTTENHAM, SHEIL, 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 for 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 Wm thwarted in that particular direction, 4 1), - ' ~i r • ~ itt, . . 1 -- - -z 4 ~,,,,,...,...,„...„ . !e ,• 4 , 4. , ' -.z••A n , " i , , t b , OIT . , ' - --A -".....

GENTLEMAN also moved for a new writ for the city of Edinburgh, in the room of W. G.

EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW UNION CANAL, AND EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY, AND FORTH AND CLYDE JUNCTION BILLS. Mr. BAINE moved that it be an instruction to the Com mittee upon the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal, and the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, and Forth and Clyde Navigation Junction Bills, to entertain the petition of the Commissioners of the Harbour and Docks of Leith, against these Bills, notwithstanding that the said petition was not presented three clear days before the sitting of the said Committee. After a short discussion the motion was withdrawn. REPORTS. Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junction Railway. Leeds Central Railway station.

Tunbridge Wells Improvement. York and North Midland Railway (Widening and Enlarge ment). SECOND READINGS. Eastern Counties Railway (Wisbeach to Spalding). Ludlow Charity Estate Bill. BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. 3IUNTZ moved the consideration of the report on this Bill. Mr. E. DENISON moved that the consideration of this report be postponed, in order that the House should take into its consideration those clauses which should have been revised by the Committee to which the line had originally been referred. • Mr. C. RUSSELL said that as this line had been designed to amalgamate with the Great Western Railway, how was it possible for the Committee upon it to consider the tolls of a railway—the Great Western Railway—which was not before them ? The question of tolls had been carefully considered by the Committee as far as they had been able to go. The Birmingham Company were, no doubt, at the bottom of this opposition, as in case of the views of the Oxford Company not meeting theirs they wished to overthrow them in the House. After a few words from Sir ROBERT FERGUSON and Mr. MAYGLEs, Mr. F. T. BARING said he could not consent to the pass ing of the Bill under existing circumstances. He thought it would be well if the Bill was re-committed to the Cimmittee, in order to re-consider the question of tolls. Either this ought to be done, or else the power of amalgamation in the Bill should be struck out. Were that done, the objection to its passing would be removed. It was an object of the Amalgamation Committee that no amalgamation should be without a revision of the charges of both companies that sought to be united. Mr. BERNAL did not think any Committee sitting up stairs could make a satisfactory revision of the tolls of esta blished companies, which had been incorporated under so lemn Acts of Parliament, and certain rates of tolls therein allowed. He could not assent to the doctrine laid down by the lion. Member for Portsmouth. MESSAGE FROM THE. LORDS. Messengers from the House of Lords brought up several Bills, which were ordered to be laid on the table. The discussion on the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway was then resumed. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the only object of the present motion was to delay the Bill from passing, and he could not support it. He was glad the Great Western Company had got possession of the country in question, as he belived the public would be greatly benefited by the line proposed to be made. Lord HARRY VANE thought it much better the Bill should be delayed than that it should be passed with the toll clauses in their present shape. Mr. PAKINGTON entirely agreed with the doctrine laid down by the Hon. Member for Portsmouth. He did not think the Hon. Member for Weymouth had given good reasons why the Bill should be allowed to pass in its present shape. lie was sorry that the Bill should be delayed, but justice to the public required it. Mr. HAY TER supported the re-consideration of the report. Mr. E. DENISON thought that the suggestion thrown out by the Hon. Gentleman, that they had been brought for ward at the instance of the London and Birmingham Com pany, ought not •to have been made. For his own part, he was not connected either with the London and Birmingham or the Great Western Company, and he viewed the matter quite irrespective of the interests of either. After a few words from Captain FITZMAUBICE and Mr. RICARDO, Sir GEORGE CLERK regretted that no previous notice of this subject had been given, for if this had been done he was quite sure the House would be better prepared to come to a more accurate judgment on the merits of the question. Hethought, if the consideration of the report was postponed till Thursday or Friday, the interests of the public would be promoted by the delay. Mr. MUNTZ said that it was in vain to dissemble that the opposition to this line came from the London mid Bir mingham Company. That company had never evinced any desire to meet the wishes of the public until they were forced to do so by the competition of the Great Western Company. They had met every application which had been made to , them for a reduction of tolls with a positive refusal until the competition he had referred to took place. Mr. ESTCOURT thought the Committee had the power of looking into the tolls. Sir J. EASTHOPE said that he never held a share either in the Great Western or London and Birmingham Companies, but he thought the present question was very important, and one deserving the attention of the House. He thought it impossible for them to proceed unless the question was more attentively considered, and he was sure the interests of the public would be served if this were done. Sir T. ACLAND .thought it was not fair at this, the eleventh, hour to introduce, without notice, a motion of so vague a nature, which would have the effect of endangering the interests of the shareholders. Mr. BARING thought it was a perfectly voluntary act on the part of the company to lease this line, arid they must, therefore, submit to the condition, which was a revision of the existing tolls. Sir G. CLERK would move, as an amendment, that th e further consideration of the debate be adjourned till Thurs day next. Mr. MUNTZ would object to any postponement, as it would promote the very object of the opposition, which was delay. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET supported the amend ment. After some little 'discussion, in which Mr. Muntz, Mr. Greene, and Mr. Denison, took part, Mr. MUNTZ consented to withdraw the original motion, and moved thi t the Bill be recommitted to-morrow. OXFORL AND CAMBRIDGE RAILWAY. Mr. A UDSON presented a petition from a landowner upon a line of railway, which left this House seventy-three miles in length, and which a Committee of the House of Lords had reduced to thirteen miles, praying the House not to pass the Bill in its mutilated state. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE knew that the persons residing on this thirteen miles of railway were quite content with the Bill in its present shape. Some landowner, whom the Hon. Member had picked up, was it appeared the only dissatisfied person. Mr. B. DENISON thought it a recommendation to have these sixty miles cut out of the Bill, considering the present state of railway business. Mr. HUDSON consented to withdraw his opposition. The following Bills were further considered on their re ports : Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Railway. Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railway (Birmiegham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley Lines). Brighouse Sewering, Drainage, and Lighting. Bristol and Birmingham and Midland Railways.

The following Bills were read a third time and passed : Blackburn and Preston and East Lancashire Railway Amal gamation. Bury Improvement (No. 2). Cockermouth and Workington Extension Railway. Dudley Canal and Birmingham Canal Amalgamation. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the Bristol and Exeter Railway (Crewkerne Branch), Bristol Waterworks, and Stockton Gas Bills, were considered, and agreed to, and the Bills ordered to be engrossed. NE WV CASTLE-UPON-TYNE AND CARLISLE BRANCH RAILWAY. On the motion being put for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. J. A. SMITH wished the motion to be postponed, in order that time might be given to the trustees of the public infirmary in Newcastle-upon •Tyne, which the railway inter fered with by pagslpg within 60 yards of its front, to get a clause inserted in the Bill for the protection of their rights lie moved, therefore, that the Bill be postponed for a week, Mr. HVTT was sure the motion for the postponement wai not made for the purpose of delay, but knowing that the Bill was a measure looked forward to with great interest by those who resided on the route of the proposed railway, and knowing also that, at this period of the session, even a day's delay might prove fatal to a measure, he could not consent to the amendment for postponing the third reading for a week.— (Hen-, hear.) But he could not see the necessity for it, in• sofar as the Corporation of Newcastle, who were the trustees of the infirmary, were most anxious that the Bill should pass.—(Hear, hear.)

A Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the above Bills met for the first time in Room A (New Houses of Parliament), at eleven this morning. The members are, the Marquis of Winchester (chairman), the Duke of Grafton, and Lords Montfort, Manners, and Bexley. The two Bills, though referred to the same Committee, do not compete with one another. The Committee first took the case of the CALEDONIAN (MID-LOTHIAN BRANCHES). Mr. Austin and Sir Thomas Phillips appeared for the pro moters of the Bill ; Mr. Wakely and Mr. Sandons for Mr. Ramsay, a petitioner against the Bill. Mr. AUSTIN opened the case for the promoters of the Bill. Room B. GLASGOW, AIRDRIE, AND MONICLANDS JUNCTION. CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRANCHES).

Their Lordships were occupied nearly the whole morning with the remaining clauses of the former of the two Bills, forming their list. Several clauses were inserted for the satisfaction of the petitioners against the Bill. After disposing of the business the Committee proceeded to hear the case of the Won by a length.

MAR KET NEWS. -(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL. SUGAR.—OnIy about 150 hhds British Plantation have been sold, and again at lower prices. The public sales have only offered 175 bags Madras, which sold at 42s to 43s for good brown, being also is to 2s cheaper. The demand for foreign has rather increased, but owing chiefly to the want of parcels offering, and the high prices asked by holders, the only transactions which have transpired are confined to two small cargoes of Porto Rico (in British vessels), which have been sold on speculation, one afloat at 22s 6d, deliverable over the ship's side, in Loudon, the buyers paying the landing charges, and the other on the spot at 235, to be taken at the landing weights, which prices fully establish an advance. The quantity of British Plantation landed last week at the East and West India Docks was 2,057 hhds, 284 tierces, 226 barrels; there were taken for home consumption, 1,092 hhds, 220 tierces, 594 barrels.

BOARD OF AnminALTy.—The following additional appointments have been made :—Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, Captain the lion. F. Berkeley, Captain Lord John Hay, the Hon. Wm. Cowper (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) 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 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 appointment, were speedily induced to arrive at a different conclusion, and to yield their warmest approbation to the sound judg ment, eminent legal acquirements, close and zealous application to keep up that legal knowledge, and the kind and patient urbanity to the junior bar, evinced by him on every occasion. It was soon discovered that the Chief Baron had been sadly underrated, that few had given him credit for the extraordinary talents he was found to possess, that he gave every promise of becoming one of the most able and learned judges that ever graced the judicial bench—a promise which it may be said he has fulfilled to the utmost extent. His case was in some degree the converse of that of the celebrated Irish judge mentioned by Sir JONAH BARRINGTON, who, in conversation with his registrar, was accustomed to congratulate himself that it was not until after he had been elevated to the bench that the public had discovered that he was totally ignorant of law. It was not until after the late Chief Baron 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, una whip 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 chamber s 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. BRADT exhibited the utmost perseverance, and soon obtained the cha racter of a hardworking and rising young man. His brother ; Sir NICHOLAS WILLIAM BRADT, 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. BEADY 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 IWMALION, Sir MICHAEL O'Locatasi was appointed Master of the Rolls, and the Attorney-General (Racnartps) 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, and consent to wave his privilege of promotion in his favour. Accordingly Mr. BALL was soon afterwards appointed Attorney-General over his head, and 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 aslaw adviser at the Castle, as Solicitor-General. On the death of the Chief Baron WOLFE, the claims of Baron RICHARDS 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 which 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 Nen 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 CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRANCHES). Mr. HOPE opened the case for the promoters of the Bill at great lergth. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON, AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED.. BRIDGE BRANCH). The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock, the Hon. E. I.' - o7ke in the chair. Mr. ALEXANDER said the promoters of the Manchester and Southampton Bill given the suggestions thrown out yesterday by the Hon. AL::!nber for Macclesfield (Mr. Brocklehurst), with respect to tilc line from Romsey to Southampton being made jointly by both companies, and used in common by them, the most serious attention, and he begged to state that they were willing to carry Out that suggestion with the sanction of the Committee. A :4111ilar practice to the one suggested prevailed on various railway e— on the Glasgow and Ayr, and the Glasgow and Greenock, both of which in entering Glasgow used one line ; the Brighton and South-Eastern, from Croydon to Reigate, and 'the Shropshire and; Birmingham and Shropshire Union, also had agreed to execute one line to be used in common on entering Wellington. Thera were a number of other instances of lines being under a joint sovereignty. It was for the Committee to say whether this plan should be adopted on the lines before them. Mr. HILL regretted that this offer had not been communi cated to the South-Western Company in time for them to give it their consideration, and to either accept or decline the offer this morning. He could give no reply on the sub ject, and must, therefore, leave it in the hands of the Committee. Mr. BROCKI.EITURST said he was only anxious to protect the interests of the South• Western Company, because he thought they were entitled to consideration, and that was his only object in throwing out the suggestions referred to. Mr. HILL, having referred to various objections which he said could not fail to result from such an amalgamation, pro ceeded to address the Committee on behalf of the South- Western against the Manchester and Southampton. He complained of misrepresentations in the prospectus of the company with respect to the distance between Manchester and Southampton by London, which they stated was the only communication, whereas lines had been sanctioned by Parliament, from Reading by Oxford to Rugby, which would form a better mode of communication, and would, in addition, be completed beftre the Manchester and Southampton. They set forth that the existing railway was 64 miles longer than by their line, but by the lines authorised would give a better and shorter communication, as their length was 2311 as contrasted with the length of the proposed line, 2161 miles by way of Birmingham, and by way of Wolverhampton, 212 i miles, which he held did not justify the conatructiozi of a new line of railway. Then the Board of Trade, the House of Commons, and the Gauge Commissioners reported against the construction of a new line from the south to the north, through Bristol or Swindon, and recommended, if such 11 line were required, that it should be made by way of Oxford.

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 bad 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." Last night Mr. J. Payne, the Deputy Coroner, held an inquest at the Stump and Magpie, Fetter-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 towards the horses' heads. He was driving at the time, and there were several other pers,ns on the outside of the vehicle. He was removed to Mr. Gibson's, the surgeon, where life was pronounced 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. Verilict-- " 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 cora iu 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, lee., 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 in a great measure been disposed of on the first day, the deliveries which took place were of an extensive character. RAILWAY AMUSEMENT.--The youngsters who haunt about the railway crossings in and near Canterbury, amuse thetnselves, when the policeman's back is turned, with lay ing small articles on the iron to be crushed by the train passing over. Pins placed lengthways are thus curiously flattened to an extreme degree of thinness, and bear a pre' mium in the charity-school exchange far above the original value. A juvenile speculator having submitted a fourpentsl piece to the process, found that he could pass it for sispencej elated with the discovery, he placed another, which ha had received in change for the first, on the newly-discovere d mint, but to his astonishment the wheels of the carriage car" ried it entirely away, and he thus remained minus twopence_ by this luckless exercise of his ingenuity...
