By CHARLES ELME FRANCATELLI, ever, they did not accomplish without having to listen Pupil of the celebrated Careme, and late Maitre d'Hatel to her to many a piteous moan. The first bird attacked Majesty the Queen, and Chief Cook at Coventry House Club. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. was the Duke of BUCKINGHAM. His Grace knew the (Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty), strength of his adversary, and resigned his prey at the first blow. Lord STANHOPE, from an ardent regard to his species, got up a fright ful scream, but:all in vain ; thirty-three " men-of-war frigates" appeared in the field, and the fish was lost for ever. The Earl of WICKLOW was the next to try to reach his nest. His fish was a " fixed duty." The same ill-luck attended him. The "frigates" were on the look-out--another fight, another scream, and off flew the " boobies." How many more similar disasters these unfortunate birds may wish to meet, we cannot divine; but we should recommend them a little repose. The debate upon the fixed duty amendment pre sented nothing new in the shape of argument. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE sought to detract from the high opinion justly entertained of the merits of Sir ROBERT PEET. as a Minister, not only in both Houses of Parliament, but by the country at large. We think the Marquis missed his aim. We are strictly a practical people, and Sir ROBERT is essen tially a practical man. As such he is eminently quali fied to sway the destinies of our great empire, whose lcommercial interests are so extensive, and at the same time so artificially interwoven one with another. The Premier is an apt scholar of the Baconian school. He builds and acts upon experience. The prosperity of this country would be fearfully hazarded if we were governed by statesmen of a mercurial temperament, who would rashly embrace every plausible theory on 1 its first promulgation. One precipitate step, in a com plicated state of society like ours, might engulf us in irretrievable ruin. When great changes are sug gested, it is not impolitic on the part of public men in office to resist their rapid adoption, with the view of securing their being sifted in all their bearings in every possible way, till repeated reflection, as well by the representa tives as by those they represent, and till, in some instances, experiments upon a small scale having first been successfully tried, shall yield us the strongest presumption that national prosperity will be accele rated by developing the principles recommended. Supposing Sir R. PEEL had years ago (and before he had experimented upon their principles, as he has done by his tariff of 1842, his foreign cattle im portation scheme, his Canada Corn Bill, &c.), had sympathised with the opinions of the League, would he then have had the slightest chance of carrying them through the process of legislation ? Certainly not. Nay, had he been conscientiously convinced long ago of what he is now, and propounded his pre sent measures, the probability is he would not, for years to come, hare had the power he now enjoys of effectuating them. The truth flashed out unwittingly from the Marquis of OLANRICARDE when he said, "Every one of Sir R. PEEL'S changes had been with the current of the moment ; and a single instance could not be found on record in which he had changed his opinion in the House of Commons and had been beaten upon that question." This involves no n.ean compliment. It admits a practical sagacity which constitutes a chief desideratum in the mind of a Minister of England. The Earl of WINCHILSEA talked downright nonsense. He contended it was a most unconstitutional course for the House to pledge the next Parliament to any course of policy for the three next years. We are surprised at such twaddle. If the argument, or rather assertion, were a good one, it would follow that every fresh Act should contain a clause limiting its duration to that of the Parliament which passed it. As Mr. Fox said, a Parliament once elected, there is nothing it is not competent to deal with. Lord STANLEY and Lord BROUGHAM are now in their element. They have both of them got into good sparring condition—they both love the science. They are both finished debaters, in the limited sense of the word. We have no doubt their Lordships will be enlivened by frequent exhibitions of their gladiatorial skill. Lord STANLEY w ill be found no match for his adversary where any question demands the exercise of large, broad, and constitutional views. Let Lord STANLEY choose his own ground, and that a narrow one, and then, by the aid of "spicy" personalities, which he and his gifted opponent equally delight to revel in, we augur their oratorical rivalry will be entertaining enough. Lord STANLEY has again pressed for an ap peal to the country. His affected ignorance of all constitutional rule is palpable. He would unnecessarily appeal to the passions of the people, when he knows that one of the funda mental advantages of a legislature is to pass laws divested of those passions which always injuriously affect the deliberations of the multitude. We have all the constitutional requisites in favour of the mea sure. The Commons have passed it by an over whelming majority. Without one exception, every man of weight and long-tried public service, on both sides of the Lower House, swelled the majority. The Lords have already affirmed the principle by a considerable majority; and setting Lords STANLEY and ASHBURTON on one side, every Peer of known public influence has voted in favour of the second read ►ng. The Crown too, we know, is likewise favour able to the measure. Under such circumstances the Protectionists plead for a dissolution I. One word with Lord STANLEY. He observed, upon the division of thirty-three, that it was " small by degrees and beautifully less." This was not honest, and it will not serve to mislead the country. We shall, therefore, repeat what we have before stated. The division on the main question was 47. This number included the " proxies." Deducting the " proxies," it was tauntingly remarked, that Ministers had only a majority of 12 upon the second reading. The division of 33 in Committee was independent of " proxies ;" so that, in point of fact, as far as the Peers present were con cerned, Ministers increased their majority by 21. This must not be lost sight of. The vessel of free trade is sailing gallantly towards us, and will soon be safely moored. RAILWAY SHARES BY PUBLIC SALE. MESSRS.

The three remaining resolutions, founded on the re commendations of the Board of Trade, were on Thurs day agreed to, after some discussion, in the Howe of Commons. The third resolution appears to be in the nature of an instruction to future Committees of the House in the next session, and an encouragement to persons to undertake the construction of new lines. ft is, that in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coast, and to the port of 13ristol, any suitable measures should be promoted to other shortelrob form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Basingstoke, or by any connecting x l3 f r o o r ' d 'te li ne Railway, u y for future iegi,sl:tion with the South-Westernthe proposed go far a attendantn d remove i f a ae:dr:apa the t adopted d considerable break ahere tok of we have re s e ad n , i s a suggestion after, it will part of the inconvenience gauge. It is founded on the Gauge Commissioners. There is little doubt t f h i t at much public benefit would be derived therefrom, and the only question will be for the specul atora. to Say whether the undertaking s are likely tobe remun era and to afford a fair return for the great narrowenditu g ret a u u h ge e incurred. It is probable that the g a companies will assist and become parties to the projects N.l hich will doubtless be formed for the purpose of giving effect to the resolution. We have alrepei , y stated our opinion as to the vast importance of a second continuous line of railway to Ireland, whmil wdl be the medium of communication to the entire of the south of Ireland, and, in all probability, to tLe western hemisphere. This is conclusive ai to which are called on to effect these double lines have no fair cause of complaint against the additional expense thus entailed upon them. They are purchasers with notice, having undertaken, at the time of obtaining the Acts by which they were incorporated, to lay down such additional lines with all convenient speed, if required so to do by the Board of Trade, in con formity with the report of the Gauge Commissioners. But the question of vast importance in the pre sent instance is —Can the twofold gauge exist with perfect safety on the same line ? Some doubts have existed on this subject, and it has been said that there would be great diffi culty and confusion in the working, but we cannot conceive it possible that the Board of Trade should have overlooked so obvious a consideration, should have neglected so important an element in the calcu lation. We therefore must assume that b:fore they acted on the authority conferred on them, and im posed the additional expense of a second line of rails on the two companies, they must have fully satisfied themselves that there would be no additional danger attendant on such a course, and that the difficulties could not be of an insuperable nature. The question then must be answered in the affirmative, that the broad and narrow gauge may be united without danger. The broad gauge being still retained, there is nothing to prevent the Legislature to compel any future companies which may be formed for the construction of new railways in the neighbourhood of existing broad gauge lines, to lay down a double line of rails. By this means, any further break of gauge may be avoided, and the companies can have no cause of complaint at the increased expense to be occasioned thereby, be cause they will have been acquainted with the .addi tional outlay rendered necessary before they had ob tained the sanction of Parliament to their projects. A fair opportunity will now be afforded of testing the sys tem, and should it be found to act well, and to be advan - tageous to the public that it should be further extended, a similar power should be reserved to the Board of Trade, in all nefv projects, of compelling the laying down double rails, should it appear advisable, the Board making a special report to Parliament in every case when about to exercise that power. Of course it will be necessary to have a Bill brought in to give effect to the second resolution, but, from the state.. ment of Sir GEORGE CLERK, it appears that it has not yet been decided whether it shall be a separate Bill, or part of one for the general regulation of railways. We yesterday directed the reader's attention to the prevalence of an anxiety amongst the populace to testify their gratitude to such individuals as have ameliorated the condition of the empire, or promoted its prosperity. Our satisfaction upon this particular might have been appropriately coupled with our dis satisfaction upon another—our joy at the spontaneous and graceful tributes offered by the public to its most meritorious members, with our disgust at the deliberate ingratitude or the niggardly recom pense with which these persons are usually rewarded by Government. And here, be it observed, we em ploy the word Government in its most diffuse and generalised signification, as the failing in this respect is attributable alike to a Whig Admi nistration and a Tory Administration, a Con servative as well as a Liberal. There is scarcely in the register of bygone genius an instance to be adduced in which a national benefactor has not in some measure been officially neglected ; in which he has not encountered on the part of those in autho rity the most discouraging indifference ; or, if at length any acknowledgment of his services has been extorted, that acknowledgment has arrived so tardily as to afford him neither solace nor compensation—being expended either in the alleviation of his decrepitude or of his premature prostration, or yet worse, in the erection of some empty mausoleum of emblazoned granite. Hence we behold a Sir HUGH MIDDLETON, beggaring himself to gratify the palates and to strengthen the constitutions of all future Londoners ; hence we find a CHATTERTON, in a garret near Holborn," perishing gloomily, spurred by contumely," and personally slighted by that fribbling statesman, WsueoLE ; hence, also, in our days we discover such an intellect as that of THOMAS HOOD dwindling down unnoticed under the corrosive influence of over work and disease combined, rewarded by the State only by (that mockery of a re compense !) a pension to his widow ! We could continue this mournful catalogue through many chapters, but the fact of official neglect to genius, or ingenuity, or modest worth (when unaccompanied by the glory of prowess in arms), is so far from requiring any demonstration, that it is become one of the proverbial vices of legislation. Our intention, however, at present is, neither to deal with the pittance of the poet, the utter disre gard of the philanthropist, or the unsympa thised struggles of the philosopher —it is simply to commemorate another instance of gratitude in the people, and of ingratitude in the Government, towards one of the foremost of those who are de sirous of beholding the practical improve t of their country and of their ge neration. As if to signalise the displeasure of the population at that unaccountable act of un graciousness to Mr. Rovrasein HILL, by which he was officially discharged from any further connexion with the Post-office department, a tribute of money has been collected amongst all classes of the community to the amount of fifteen thou sand pounds, and on Wednesday last that national testimonial was presented, at Blackwell, to the projector of the Penny Postage. Immeasurably disproportioned as is this subscription when compared with the bene fits accruing from the system of communication for which we are indebted to that gentleman, it is never theless gratifying to find the English people coming forward to acknowledge their obligations to his exertions, and by so doing virtually to discountenance the blundering and ungracious pro ceeding of the Post-office authorities. It must be remembered, moreover, that the tribute in this case is not for some probable or specious advantage, not for any illusory hypothesis of good, not for any pecuniary chimera ; the system has been advanced and adopted, and ever since the really memorable period of its adoption it has f 4/1 WATER AT 1.01)oNA - 7 - ,i ---- --„777 - _ .. 12 321m:tics after 11.

Before we can properly estimate the merits of the Penny Postage scheme, we must behold in it a power labouring for our improvement in three separate directions : the scheme acting beneficently upon our heads, our hearts, and our pockets. It lightens the cost of correspondence to a marvellous degree, it widens and deepens the interchange of sympathies from one extremity of the kingdom to the cther, and it has aroused to an epistolary intercourse hundreds who would otherwise continue unlearned in pencraft, and torpid in the communication of thought.

IVill Government never tire of receiving lessons in justice, in liberality, and in gratitude from the people ? The spirit of antagonism marks every step of the onward movement of the Corn Bill io the Upper House. Whenever a grand illumination is advertised 0 induce the public to resort to any place of entertainment, the great display of the pyrotechnic art is generally reserved to the last. The Pro teetionist Peers have reversed this order of tactics— all their fireworks were blazed off upon the second reading of the Bill. Lord STANLEY was their "feu de joie." Perhaps they miscalculated the strength of their resources. It is clear they have exhausted themselves ; they have no new materiel at command. If they send up a rocket now and then, it as much as they can do. The battle kept up between the Monopolists and Alinisterialists reminds us of What many naturalists and travellers relate of the con tests they have witnessed between certain birds called " boobies" and others called " men-of-war frigates." The latter waylay the former whilst repairing to their nests with the fish they have caught for their young, and, by repeated blows on their back, compel them to disgorge their predatory spoil, which is never done without the utterance of a scream. In the same way the advocates of free trade in the Lords • the point of the construction of the South Wales Rail way on tha broad gauge, as originally sanctioned by Parliament. Indeed, the House practically adopted it on Tuesday night, in adding to the first resolution the words—" and South Wales Railway," in order that short lines ensanating from the South Wales line might be constructed on the broad gauge. This, however, was the only one of the resolutions on which a division was taken, when it was carried by a majority of 53. The last resolution applied to the formation of a double line of rails, thus having the broad and the narrow gauge existing on the same railway. The companies IThe latest accounts from Rome are of the Bth ' June ; at that date the city was perfectly &an. gun. The Censlitutionnel publishes the f o ll ow i ng account of the last moments of GREGORY XVI. : - " On Whit-Sunday the Pontiff determined to have mass said in his chamber, and to ta ke the com munion himself This was opposed, and he was obliged almost to get angry: in order to have his wish complied with; and if he had i not done so, he would have died without the sacrament. His valet-de-chambre said to him, ' But, Holy Father, you will alarm the whole city; they will say that you are very ill." Certainly,' replied he, ' I am very ill. I feel it; and do you want me to appear before God with out having taken the bread of lite? Io voglio rnorire do frate, non da savrano.' (I wish to dip as a monk, and not as a sovereign). The malady made such rapid progress the following night that the Cardinal Confessor, whose fluty THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JitTNE 1846. it is to assist dying Pontiffs, could not be summoned in time ; it was the assistant-cure of the pontificial palace who gave extreme unction to the Pope, the curs not having arrived. Gregory XVI. had expired when Cardinal Bianchi, his con fessor, entered his chamber. The other ecclesiastics, who were summoned according to custom, had only to watch over the mortal remains of their master. The Pope expired in the arms of Cardinal Larnbruschini, who had hurried up with all the speed of his horses, and who assisted him in his last moments with the tenderness of a friend and a son." NEW ZEA LAND. END OF THE WAR, AND PRO CLAMATION OF PEACE. (From the roes.) The following important intelligence is extracted from the Launceston Examiner of the 28th of February : The " war" is at an end, and a general amnesty has been proclaimed. This intelligence has been received by the Water Lily at Hobart Town. We subjoin a summary, prin cipally from the New Zealander : It appears that on the Ist of January the British forces established themselves in a strong stockade, about 400 yards from the pah of Kawiti, and in which were mounted two 32 -pounders, and four small si-inch mortars. Ou the 2d, Kawiti made a sortie from his pall, for the purpose of turning the flank of this stockade, and destroying it before it was finished; but Nene and our allies drove them back, killing four and wounding several of the enemy. On Saturday, the 10th, all the batteries being completed, a general fire was commenced for the purpose of erecting a breach, and rockets were likewise discharged, in order to annoy the enemy within the pah. Towards evening three breaches were made. An assault was then contemplated by the commanding-officer, and 200 of the troops were told off to lead the atlack. The chief Mohi Ta.wai remonstrated with the commanding-officer, asserting that it would be sacrificieg the lives of brave men to attempt the assault on that evening; and that by continuing the breaching, the object would be accomplished in a few days. The troops were then ordered back to the camp. On the following morning, Sunday, the 11th, about twelve of Nerve's natives, with 'William Waka, his brother, ap proached the breaches to reconnoitre, and not perceiving or hearing any natives within the outer stockades of the pah, they entered, and, as soon as they found they were unop posed, conveyed signal to our forces in the batteries, when the sailors and troops rushed forward into the pah, before Kawiti's natives, who were outside the pah engaged at their karakia (worship), could re-enter. As soon as they ascer tained that they had thus, by negligence, lost possession of their stronghold, they commenced a heavy fire on our troops from the woods, and from the back part of the pah; but the numerical strength of the European forces and native allies, in addition to the protection afforded by the internal defences of the pall, rendered all attempts unavailing; and after continuing the fire, in order to carry off their killed and wounded, the natives retired into the woods to a pah, about three miles distant, recently erected by Heki (who joined Kawiti) as a place of refuge for Kawiti, in case he should be expelled from Ruapekapeka. The loss of the European forces was 12 killed, and of which number 9 were seamen and marines, and 30 wounded, in clusiye of 17 seamen and marines. The native rebels suf fered a loss of 25 killed, as correctly as it could be as certained. Within the pah no ammunition or provisions were found. The former bad been divided among them on Saturday even ing, anticipating the attack; and they had been subsisting on fern root alone for some time previously. His Excellency Governor Grey was present during the whole of the operations, and was eye-witness to the assault. A proclamation had been issued by the Governor grant ing free pardons to all concerned in the late rebellion, the chiefs having made complete submission by letter, through Tomata Waka Nene. We have received additional accounts from New Zealand 14 days later than the news brought by the Water Lily, from which we learn that a pah, more strongly fortified than that which had been lately stormed and to ken by the British forces, had been purposely set on fire and d estroyed by Heki, who had resolved to take to the bush, as affording better ' means of protracting the w arfare than fortified places, which. whatever the amount of resistance offered, must eventually fall into the power of disciplined forces provided with artil ery. L' And de la Religion publishes the following ac count of the testamentary bequestsof the late POPE : ° Pope Gregory XVI. has made two of his nephews his residuary legatees, and appointed Cardinal Matei his execu tor. The Pontiff has left several legacies to the Propaganda, the convent of St. Gregory, the monks of the Camaldules, and some of his household. The fortune which he has left has been greatly exaggerated. A more just idea of it may be formed when it is considered that the civil list of the popedom does not amount to more than 80,000 f. a year. A rich library, some valuable paintings, jewellery, and works of art, with other property of unimportant amount, form the whole of the inheritance left for his nephews in the Ve netian States, instead of the trillions at which it has been estimated." A letter from Ostrowo, in Poland, states thit on Whit-Monday a number of persons collected in the market-place of Miloslaw, and two of them, with the purpose of creating a disturbance, proceeded to the church, and rang the tocsin, which increased the crowd. The burgomaster not having any troops at his command, and finding himself unable to restore order, sent off to Wreschen for aid, and the next morning a squadron of hussars arrived. Several persons were arrested and removed to Wresehen. Madrid papers of the 6th have been received ; their Portuguese news has been anticipated by the steamer which arrived the day before yesterday, and their contents are utterly devoid of interest. We have received the Paris papers or Wednesday. The estimates were passed on Tuesday in the Cham ber of Deputies by a majority of 210 to 27, after an in effectual attempt on the partof the Legitimatist -Mem bers to draw out M. Guizoz on the affairs of Syria. Both Chambers sat on Wednesday, hut their proceedings were uninteresting. The Deputies assemble for the last time on Saturday. The Peers will sit a short time longer to dispose of the various Bills sent up to them from the Deputies. "It is on the occasion of the credit of the fetes of July," says the Constitutionnel, "that the Prince DE MoSKowA is to speak in the Chamber of Peers, rela tive to the incident in the deliberation respecting the verdict upon LECOMTE." The papers contain accounts of the brilliant fetes given at Brussels and Lille on the opening of the Northern Railway. The Princes returned to Paris from Brussels by rail in twelve hours, and the fetes passed off without the slightest accident. The courier du Havre says that all the American ships in that port hoisted their flags on the arrival of the news of General TAYLOR'S victory. It adds : " Our underwriters seem to be so little alarmed by the risk the American ships have to run from the war, that the premiums are tending to fall down to the ordinary rate."

(From The Sun of Last Night.) There was not much demand for Cotton at Liverpool yes-. terday. Sales about 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were dull. There are numerous letters in town this morning from all the West India Islands, brought by the Forth steamer, and their contents are in full confirmation of the statements made in the journals of the Colonies, as to the continued ex istence of severe and long continued droughts. The sugar plantations had been damaged in consequence to a great ex tent in all quarters. Still we are led to the conclusion, from some of the letters that have reached us, that the injury already done has been very greatly exaggerated, and to such a truly " protectionist" pm-pose, namely, a sort of ruse to be made use of when the Sugar Duties Bill is dis cussed, with the presumed intention of a section of the Legis lature to relax, if possible, the duty upon free grown sugars, and to show that, great as are the ills to which the planters are subjected by reason of un certain seasons, there may be a strong ground taken up, why Parliament should not by relaxation of duties, com pel the West India proprietors to accept other changes, the result of which they assert with earnestness, " they kn ow not of." The statements of the Chancellor f the Exche quer last night in the House of Commons, that he would ask the continuance of the present duties for a month after the expiry of the present law, is not thought much of here. as the intention evidently is to give breathing time after the Irish Life Preservation Bill has been advanced or rejected, for a fair debate upon the Sugar question, now yearly becoming of more and more mercantile importance. At Demerara, there had been further arrivals of Coolies, and the reports state that they did their field work very well in deed, especially where the lighter duties of the plantation were required. There are no later accounts by the Forth steamer from Mexico. In the Consol Market the changes have been slight to day, and business very limited indeed. The quotations looked rather heavy, Consols for the opening having just been done at 95 ; the Three-per- Cents. Reduced, at the same value, while the Three-and-a-Quarter-per- Cents. dropped from 97 to 9634. A very low Egure has been marked for Ex chequer-bills —say Bs. The last price yesterday was 16s. premium. It is said that there save been many sales on account of the Bank of England and the Accountant-General. Bank Stock advanced about 1 per cent. A considerable amount of busine-s has been done in the Portuguese Bonds today at irices from 40i to 50i, showing a downward tendency as compared with yesterday's prices. It is the opinion of many here that the accounts from Lisbon are very much gar bled to suit stock-jobbing operations. The public ought, therefore, to be shy in risking their cash in time bar gains. The present price is 50 for Account. Old Spanish Bonds are at 24, and the Three per Cents. at 37%. Mexican Deferred are called 16%. Brazil Bonds have risen from 80! to 82. Ihe Railway investments have not been in general de mand this morning. A few of the scrip have advanced. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK.

The Lords present were, the Lord President, the Master of the Rolls, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The favourite ballet of The Devil to Pay was revived last evening for the purpose of giving the patrons of this theatre an opportunity of seeing Carlotta Grisi in her original cha racter of Mazourka, the Basket-maker's wife. Having seen her in it, we are not surprised at the furore which she created in Paris during the whole of the last winter. H er act i ng is the most espieyle imaginable—witness the basket -making scene in the first and the dressing-rcom scene in the second act; and as for her dancing, who shall d escr ib e t h e wonders of the pas des femmes, in which it is a l most i mpossible for the eve to fellow the rapidity of her twinkli ng f eet, which move with a more than Elssler i que rapidity and neatness; or the Mazourka pas suel in the second act, commencing with a serie. , , of gaucheries most fascinating for th e i r coquettishness, and ending with a series of bounding steps, whi c h astonish by their force and delight by their grace, or the concluding pas de deux with Silvain, the great triumph of the ballet. Each of these was a perfect triumph, and each drew down the enthusiastic applause of the audience. She was ad mirably supported by lladlle. Louisa, Madame Giubilei, Les Scours St. Looin, Mr. W. H. Payne, and Mr. Wieland, whose dancing master was the very b eau id ea l of the grotesque. WNW FOREIGN FUNDS. Brazilian Bonds, 5 per Cent ..

MANCHESTER, THU RSDAY.—ilis Highness Ibrahim Pacha arrived in this town by the express train from Birmingham, at about eleven o'clock last evening. He rode in the state carriage usually appropriated to the.QueenDowager, and accom panied by the members of his suite. There was a large as semblage of people at the station, who were much gratified with the appearance of the illustrious foreigner. As the arrival of his highness had been anticipated, a smite of apartments was engaged for his accommodation at the Queen's Hotel, and the party were at once taken there, but his Highness stated that he should not remain there, and the whole party at once set off for the Royal Hotel, where they now remain. It is understood that the reason why Ibrahim Pacha quitted the Queen's Hotel was, that the apart ments were not all on the same floor. At an early hour this morning his Highness arose, and was seen leisurely puffing his meerschaum in the delightful wa!k in front of the Royal Infirmary, where he remained some time. His appearance attracted general attention, and he seemed in no way annoyed by the crowd of persons who were gazing at. him. At about ten o'clock the Mayor of Manchest er , M r . B. Watkins, had the h onour of an Y introduction to the Pacha, and a carriage and four having been provided, his worship and Ibrahim Paella proceeded to the extensive machine works of Messrs. Fairbairn and Co., where he appeared much gratified with the stupendous nature of the machinery. After remaining for some time the party returned to the Royal Hotel, whence, at one o'clock, they proceeded to the works of Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, the mill of Messrs. Birley and Co., and several other places of interest. We have not at present heard what stay the Pacha in tends to make in this town, but to-morrow morning he will be entertained at a public breakfast by the Mayor, at the Town-hall. 16% 32% 227 334 65 22 78 28N 2 4 p rOREIGN POULTRY. —Yesterday Leadenhali-mark( t presented a very Interesting appearance from the quantity of foreign poultry offered for sale ; a speculation which, from the prices they malised, is likely to turn out very successful.

HENLEY. This was an action brought to recover some uncertain sum of money, less than 571. 4s. Mr. Bramwell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lush for defendant. It appeared that the defendant carried on business at Che, tenhaiii, in stationery and other articles of a miscellaneous kind, and that he had had numerous transactions with the plaintiff in this case, who supplied him occasionally with goods, which were sent from Warwick lane to the Bull and Mouth, and forwarded from thence to his address in the country. The correspondence commenced in the year 1840; and, after being interrupted in the two succeeding years, was again renewed in 1843, and has continued down to the present time. It was admitted, on the part of the plaintiff, that his books were in such a state as not to show the exact sum which the defendant was in debted to him. Mr. Lussi, for the defendant, put in several post-office orders paid at Cheltenham in favour of the plaintiff; and the defendant being the only correspondent which he had in that town, these orders had of necessity been remitted by the defendant. They amounted together to upwards of 391., and this sum, with a W. note, which the defendant had paid, and two disputed items of the account being struck out, left no balance which the plaintiff could now claim. The Loup CHIEF BARON said that the case was one which should have been decided by an arbitrator; and it was extremely wrong to consume the public time by ex amining long and confused accounts which, after all, in such a case as the present, could not lead to a satisfactory de • _ _ The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner GoutnuaN.) IN RE JOHNSON AND MANN. To-day was appointed for declaring a final dividend under the estate of these bankrupts, who were bankers at Romford, and .Aldgate, Whitechapel. Mr. lis.s.-ripE, of the firm of Bathe and Bingley, appeared to prove for an account for engraving notes, and cheques for the bank. He said that when the failure took place, the bankrupts wrote for the account, but it appeared they had not inserted it in the balance-sheet. The COMMISSIONER—HOW came you to drive it up to the last hour? The fiat was issued two years ago. There has been a dividend of 6s. in the pound, and the present one is to be final.—Mr. BATHE said they had had so many other things. The COMMISSIONER—Such things as these ought not to be driven °IL The bankrupts not being present to explain, the Learned Comalassioxxn said he could pot admit the proof uncorro borated, nor did ho feel disposed to asiist persons who left such matters to the last, and he must reject the proof. Proof to about 701. was admitted. The dividend will not be more than 214 d. in the pound, and will be payable in a few days. SECONDARIES' COURT, June 19. (Before Mr. Secondary Jamas.) DAWES V. FAGG. The plaintiff in this action sued by her next friend to re cover the sum of 51. 55., for services rendered. The de fendant is patentee of carpets, and has a manufactory at Holloway—he denied his liability. From the facts it appeared that the plaintiff was the grand daughter of one of the workmen in the factory, named Jen nings, who in 1842 introduced her into the place, where she continued for about two years; but, according to Jennings's evidence, he then took her away because he could not get anv money, but, one of th e f oremen sent h i m a guinea - on account ; after seven weeks she went back again, under an agreement to be paid 9s. 6d. a week, which she received ap to the time she finally left, in March, 1846. Nothing was then said as to any arrears, and one of defendant's foremen swore that he told Jennings the girl was not there on de fendant's account, but might stay to assist Jennings, and she should be taken on as soon as the patent was in work, and she was wanted. She had, however, been occasionally set to light the fire and other little jobs. The SECONDARY said it was a rule laid down in law, that when wages were paid regularly every week up to the termination of the agreement, the presumption should be that everything had been paid. In this case, however, there did not appear to ha ve b een any di st i nc t hiring,ral uTntyd. probably the g u i n e a s p o k en o f was g i ven by way of iptarwtiaess lcuerfito,usatnhdat alsono se t t h t a le t me fi n f t t e e w n a s monthsdem anded shouldwheng sincethe have elapsed before law proceedings were brought._e would, however, say w h e ther there had b ment, and what were the value of the servi ces.

Mr. Crowder and Mr. Sergeant Allen appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Phinn for the defendants. Mr. CROWDIR stated the case for the plaintiff, who, he said, was the well-known and highly respectable engraver of Charing.cross; and the object of the action was to recover from the defendants, who were engi neers, residing in Dublin, the sum of 5161. 19s. sd. bein , _ the balance upon an account of 1,2004, incurred ' for the completion of the plans and sections of the Great Munster Railway. The order was given last summer, and an under standing was come to as to the cost of the work, but from the delays that took place on the part of the defendants in supplying the plans and sections to be engraved, and the fact that the greater portion of them had to be executed within a very short time prior to the 30th of November last year, when the prices paid to operative engravers was enormously high, the expense was much increased be yond the original amount specified. 700/. had been paid on account during the progress of the work, and this the de fendants alleged was quite enough to satisfy the reasonable claims of the plaintiff; and further that the sum he sought to recover was excessive, and a violation of the original understanding come to between the parties. The Learned Gentleman said he would be prepared to show that this de fence was invalid, bothfrom correspondence between the parties. in which Mr. Wyld distinctly intimated that the delays of the defendants throwing the execution of the work near to the 30th of September, would much enhance the expense, and also by witnesses he would call. The work was well ex ecuted—no fault had ever been found with it; and, consi dering the demand for labour at the time, and the fact of engravers being obliged to work night and day, it was done at a reasonable price. The company had failed in going forward with their scheme, not from any fault in the plans and sections, but from other causes, and now they sought to lighten themselves of the liabilities they had incurred. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to call his wit nesses. A number of witnesses were called on behalf of the plain tiff, who proved that the plans had been altered or delayed, and the plates altered; and that the wages paid to the parties engaged in getting the plans and sections up as it approached towards the 30th November were from 6 to 10 guineas a week, and in some instances five shillings an hour. It was also alleged that a great deal of the extra expense arose from the conduct of the plaintiffs in not supplyieg the copies to be engraved ia a proper time and manner. Mr. MARTIN replied at some length, maintaining that as the plaintiff had entered into a contract to execute the work at a certain price, he was forced to do so, and that the alterations complained of arose from the incompetency of some work men engaged in getting up the plates. He also put in some documents to prove the contract, and correspondence, to show that subsequently the plaintiff admitted the prices originally agreed upon to be correct for the work he was executing. The Learned Gentleman denied that: any delay, such as that complained of, had taken plac,e or that the defendant's conduct had been the cause of the extra expense incurred. He submitted, in conclusion, that sufficient had been paid to meet all reasonable charge. Mr. CnowrAmt replied in reference to the documents. Lord DarazAN summed up at some length. The jury, after a short consultation, returned verdictfor the plaintiff 2001., in addition to 31. paid in , o Court, and 40s. costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. COURT.

The COURT ordered Mr. Dolan to enter into his own re eoguisances in 1001., and two sureties in 50/. each, to appear at the next sessions. POST OFFICE,— John Tarnur was placed at the bar on four charges of robbery committed on the Post-office carriages On the South-Eastern and London and Birminghamßailways, and another for robbing the Post-office at Grave-end. The pri,o er pleaded Guilty on the first tour charges. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL, who appeared to prosecute, said that, unwilling to occupy unnecessarily the public time, he would not press the remaining charge. As there is a woman implicated in the same charges, who will be tried next sessions, the Court' deferred sentence till the particulars were then laid before it. John Charles Young, described as a chemist, was placed at the bar, indicted for stealing a post letter, containing a half !.overeign and a shilling, the property of the Postmaster. General. Mr. W. Scalthorpe, one of the presidents of the London District Post-office, said, in consequence of some suspicions he poste(' two letters at the Aldgate receiving -office, one of them directed lo "Mary Donoughue, Mr. Doolan's public-house , Sack ,vell-st ree t, D u bli n, Ireland," and containing a half sovereign and a s hilli ng, marked. Another of the leers was addressed to "Miss Coventry, North Brixton." If th ese had been posted at the Aldgate receiving-office before 8 o'clock in the morning of the 20th, they ought to have reached the General Post. office about 25 minutes past S. Witness was at the Ger.eral Post-office that morning, and examined the letters sent from the Aldgate receiving-offices and found Miss Coventry's letter on th e top of the bundle of paid letters; to the Irish letter two stamps bad been af fixed, and that letter was not found at all. The bill ac companying the letters should give an account of t he stamped letters, an d t h at was found to correspond with the letters sent. The witness, taking with him the letter in spector who posted the two letters, and a constable, went to the Aldgate receiving -office, where he found the prisoner, to whom the witness discove - el himself, and said that there was a r letter which had not b een sent. "O h yes, " h e sa id, " sent it; Miss Coventry's was sent." He was asked what had become of the Dublin letter, which had been dropped into the box, but made no reply. He was immediately searched, and the marked half-sovereign and shilling, together with the letter, the seal of which c was broken, were found upon the prisoner. Other witnesses were celled, who confirmed the testimony already given. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Ballan tyne was retained for the defence. A technical point of law was raised on the wording of the indictment, and the circumstances of the case, as compared with the terms of the Act of Parliament. The question raised was, whether the letter in question was a post-letter , in the terms of the Act, the address being fictitious. Baron &ALPE reserved the point for the opinion of the Judges, and directed the jury to find a general verdict against the prisoner of stealing half-a-sovereign, which, Ito' cording as the Jud ges d ec id e w ill b e, o f s t ea li ng from a post. letter, or of stealing a half-sovereign, the property of Ur. W. Scalthorpe. The jury found accordingly, and sentence was deferred. NE IF COURT. BIGAIVIT.---Joseph Mortimer, indicted on two differ ent charges of bigamy, a n d one of larceny, was placed at the bar, and pleaded not guilty on all. On the first charge of bi gam y, it a p pear ed, by the usua l evidence from the parish register, that the prisoner, in 1839, married Josephine Langhorne, who was proved to have been alive in New York on the 25th of March of the present year: But it was also proved that, on the 7th of June, 1944, he married Caroline Wright, his first wife, Josephine Mordants being at the time alive. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, handed in a written paper, alleging that according to the law of the United States, where he had become a citizen, he was le gally separated from his wife—both mutually agreeing to this on the consideration of giving her a power of attorney to collect certain money for her own support. Tee Learned RECORDER, in addressing the jury, said that the prisoner, a native of Ireland, was a British-born subject, and whether he had become a citizen in the States of o _ Ame rica, or whether anythi ng h a d b een d one i n the matter f sY divorce by any Court there competent for the purpose, of which, however, th ere was not a tittle of evidence before the jury, he neverth e le ss s till owe d a ll eg i a nce to the British Crown, and was amenable to British laws. The jury, after consulting a few minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty. The second indictment charged the prisoner with marry ingi Mary Susanna L ove j oy , at S t. P h illi p ' s Ch urc h, LiverP° his loriner wife, Mrs. Wright, being at the time alive. b Mr. Shutwood, b rot h er- i n -l aw to Mrs. W r i g ht, was led' questions put by the prisoner, to make some rather unplea sant revelations.

The case of larceny, on which the prisoner was further indicted, has al rea dy appeare d i n a ll the papers in all tho o details ao peculiar to the case. Mrs. Loyer, who lived at 7, Chapel-court, Unlon-s. as Whitechapel, stated that she advertised for a situation cook and housekeeper, and that in consequence she had re. ceived a letter from the prisoner effering marriage, and repre senting himself as a New York merchant , wi t h an income in thecomeof columns of The Sun. An agreement to marry was mutually resolved on. From the Rainbow Coffee-house, Commercial-road, to another residence in Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, and thence to Paris, went the New York merchant and his future spouse, who, with a liberality quite amazing, defrayed all the expen es, and kept Mr. Mortimer well in pocket. They returned from Paris after a fortnight's' sojourn there, and took up their residence at the Omnibus Coffee house. The poor woman's funds were by this time far reduced, for after one large payment, she had given him an other of 271, and now proceeded to pawn her wearing ap parel to keep Mortimer in money. All was pawned, excep t a few articles in a box, which were the subject of the present _ e. o inquiry. Mrs. Loyer removed from the Omnibus C house to the Rainbow Coffee-house, her consort theconsheonx to and also begging to be allowed to bring along their new lodgings. She gave him permission, and never saw him again till the 18th of May. On the 15th of that month another advertisement caught Mortimer, though an old stager. It was given in evidence that the box was found at the Duke's head public-house, Queen-street, Chelsea. There too was Mr. Mortimer, and on his person the key of the box, which contained the articles belonging to Mrs. Loyer. The prisoner was most indefatigable in giving every an noyance he possibly could to the Court and the witnesses itt the course of the inquiry. The Learned RECORDER sent the case to the jury, and' told them if they had no doubt that the prisoner had used stratagem for the purpose of obtaining possession of the box, which he afterwards carried away, they would find him guilty of a larceny as set forth in the indictment. The jury in a short time returned a verdict of Guilty as indicted. The Learned RECORDER, in pronouncing sentence on th• prisoner, expressed in the strongest terms his detestation of the unexampled baseness of the prisoner, who, not content with having bereft the poor woman of all her money, obtained from her under promise of marriage, had allowed her to pledge her clothes to supply him with more, and took base measures to get possession of the few articles of apparel which remained, and then deserted his victim. He sen tenced him to transportation for seven years. The Learned RECORDER reserved sentence on the tyro charges of bigamy. MARKET NE WS- ( Y TE RD A Y.) CORZT-EXCSANGE. We have to report the arrival of a very limited supply of Ellfll ol Wheat up to our market this week. The fine parcels that have V' peered on sale have mostly found buyers, at Monday's quotations ; yet the amount of business passing was small. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond, was in moderate request, at very full prices. Owing to the continuance of dry weather, the sale for Barley was firm, and previous rates were well supported. Superfine Malt wBJ quite as dear ; but other kinds were neglected. The Oat trade was steady, and the currencies had an upward tendency. The same may be said of Beans and Peas. ARRIVALS.
