MR. JOHN LAWLESS. This gentleman; who for many years has occupied so large a space in the public view as connected with the poli tics of Ireland, has terminated his earthly career. He was taken ill on Saturday last, and died yesterday, at twenty minutes past twelve, at his lodgings in Cecil-street. Mr. Lawless was at all times a most energetic and uncompro mining advocate of his principles, which were of a de cidedly Liberal character. Having received a liberal education, Lis inclination led Trim to seek the legal profession, but his early connexion with Robert Ertmitt, Thomas Moore, &e., induced Lord Clare, the then Chancellor of Ireland, to reject him. lle.then became a partner with his father, a brewer in Dublin ; but that pursuit not answering his expectations, and his attach ment to literature and politics still holding -the ascendancy, he was induced to take a share in the Ulster Recorder, published at Newry. Mr. Lawless, as a political writer. was held in the highest estimation in that town ; by his writings he contributed to infuse a new and enlightened Spirit into the province of Ulster. He was soon afterwards invited to Belfast, the Athens of Ireland, as he used to call it ; 1e there published a periodical, the Ulster Rejste and afterwards the Irishman, which had a very extensive cir culation. He was during many years a leading political character with the Liberal party in Belfast ; his public spirit, consistency, eloquence, and patriotism, rendered most essen tial service to the cause of independence. Even the Orange party gave him credit for unflinching integrity, and he was consequently honoured by all with the title of " Honest. Jack Lawless." During the sittings of the Catholic As sociation, Mr. Lawless was a leading member, always contending for the liberties of the people. His admirable defence of the rights of the forty-shilling freeholders, and his denunciation of the pensioning of the clergy in 1825 and 1826, raised him high in the estimation of the English and Irish Radicals. His excursion to Ballibay in 1828, ac companied by two hundred thousand men determined to be free, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel admitted was the first feature in their expediency q uestion of Catholic emancipation, and was most instrumental in ensuring its success. When justice was afterwards refused to Ireland by the Tory Lords, Mr. Lawless was one of the most ac tive agitators of the National Association, and he made his last speech at the Crown and Anchor Tavern on Monday eight days, in support of Mr. Hume's claims to the represen tation of Middlesex. His remains will, no doubt, be re moved to Ireland for interment. The people of Dublin, nay, of all Ireland, will show their gratitude by giving him the honour di Public funeral, which his virtues and patriotism so well merii..---Morning Advertiser.

COMMISSION OF LUNACY• Yesterday a commission of lunacy was held at the Crown and Anchor, in the Strand, before Commissioners Philli more, C. K. Murray, and Blount, to inquire into the state of mind of Miss Elizabeth Salomons, an elderly maiden lady of the Jewish persuasion, possessed of considerable property, and residing for many years at No. 7, Vinegar-yard, Drury lane. From the evidence adduced in support of the commis sion, which was unopposed, it appeared that the unfortu nate object of the inquiry had laboured under some very extraordjnary delusions of mind. She was now verging on 74 years of age, and for the last four years had exhibited symptoms of derangement of mind. She fancied that a Mr. Jarrett, wi;o lived in her house, and occupied the upper part of it, Pras Lord John Russell, and, under that delusion of mind, mai to call out to him when Shen she heard his foot on the stairs, " Come forth. Lord John Russell, and show yourself this morning." She also ima gined that she had occasioned the King's death, and that she did it for the purpose of having the Prin cess Victoria called to the Throne. Although pos sessed of considerable property in the funds she had a notion that she was completely penniless, and frequently expressed the horror she felt at being compelled in her old age to become the inmate of a workhouse. Within the last two days she imbibed a notion that she had sacrificed chil dren to her appetite ; and when told of the absurdity of it she would would not listen to the force of the reasoning against such delusion, but exclaimed that she had swal lowed half a dozen children ; and then putting her hand to her mouth, draw ferth some saliva between her fingers, saying, " There they are ; see what beautiful diamonds and brilliants I have the power of bringing forth." When told that morning by:one of the witnesses, that a commission of lunacy was about to be held at the Crown and Anchor, to inquire into the state of her mind, her reply was, that the commissioners might go and be d—d for what she cared, adding that she should not leave her " flea-box" (bed) for all the commissioners, and there were plenty of them in England. A verdict was returned " That she was of un sound mind since November, 1834." --- -- - ---- In a small town in the State of New Jersey, called Ellisboro, containing about seventy-five inhabitants, they have neither tavern, store, lawyer, physicians, justice of the peace, or any thing else to disturb the quiet of the place. At Lambeth-street Police office, information was yesterday received of two valuable mares and a horse having been stolen ou the night before from off the premises of Mr. W.

COPENHAGEN, JULY 29.—1 t is long since any f i!ure here has produced so much sensation as that of H. P. Hansen, the wine-merchant, whose personal ability and un lim'ted credit had long enabled him to hold a most prominent station. He was a Member of the States, a Director of the Bank, of the Asiatic Company, &c. Lord John Russell passed through this city on Sa turday, on his way from Stroud to Devonshire. His Lord ship, accompanied by Lady Russell and an 'interesting little child in arms, travelled in a carriage and four. His intended arrival having been announced by the public prints, he was welcomed with the applause of a large body of the populace, who detached the horses from the carriage, and drew the party in triumph through the streets to the Bush, where they alighted. His Lordship was received by Mr. Davis, Mr. Herapath, end Mr. G. E. Sanders, and shortly afterwards he appeared at the window, and in a few words addressed the assembly. He said he could not but thank them for a recep tion which was alike gratifying and unexpected ; he was most glad to see many of il'em there, and to congratulate them on the great triumph they had achieved for the cause of Reform. He did not know of any election which had done so much for that cause as the one in Bristol, and which had been carried with so much spirit. He could have wished that Gloucester and some other places had done as well, but, let that be as it might, ho could not but congratulate them on the result of the election in their city. His Lordship then bowed and with drew, and shortly afterwards took his leave amidst the most rapturous applause. Lord J. Russell reached the house of his friend, the Rev. Sydney Smith, at Combo Florey, in the neighbourhood of Taunton. in the evening ; and on Monday his Lordship dined with Sir T. B. Lethbridge, at Sawlhill-park. —Bristol Mirror. In 1722, Sir Richard Steele, who had formerly re presented the town of Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, was de sirous of trying to come in for Wenduver, in Buckingham shire, but his finances not enabling him to bear the expense of opening a variety of public-houses, he devised an expedient which had the desired ( ffect. Instead of treating indiscrimi nately at every tap-room, as had been the custom, he caused a handsome entertainment to be provided at the principal inn, to which he invited all the married electors and their wires. Having diverted them with his wit, and circulated the glass sufficiently to,bring them all into good humour, he took occa sion to address them, and concluded an amusing speech by telling the ladies that he was about to make a promise, which, if it was agreeable to them, he hoped fur their influence with their husbands in his favour. The women were all impatient to hear what he had to say, when Sir Richard smiling round him, said :—" Ladies, Wendover is famed for its excellent wives, and as good wives always make excellent mothers, the offspring from so valuable a stock cannot be too much multi plied :—as an encouragement, therefore, I promise each of you fifty guineas that has a child within ten months from this day, and a hundred for every one that has twins." The time of saying this, and the happy manner in which it was said, produced, as may be imagined, shouts of laughter among the men, and infinite good humour among the women. The re sult was, that female influence was exerted so successfully that Sir Richard gained his election by a great majority, against a powerful opposition.—Gthelener's Gazette. About half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr. R. Gilbert, chemist and deugs.v,ist, Raven-row, Spitalfields. The shop was almost entirely involved in flames when the first alarm was given. At that time it was reported that there were some children in the upper part. Upon this being ascertained by police constable H 104, at the risk of his own life he forced his way in, when, is t'se two pair front room, he found three children in bed, %%hose lives he saved. Information having been sent to the Station-house, Sergeant WWilliams, of the II division, sent t' the different engine-houses in the neighbourhood, while Mr. Superintendont Peidre, of the II division, attended at the fire with a strong body of police, and rendered most effectual service. The Norton Folgate and Spitalfields parish engines were promptly on the Ersot, followed by the St. Mary Axe and W.:iteeross-street, and several other engines of the London fire establishment, when, in a short time, being provided with an abundant supply of water, they succeeded in confining the ravages of the devouring element to the above house, the tene ment on each side being but slightly damaged. How the fire originated is not known, as Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were away from home when the flames were first discovered. No lives pare lost, as far as we were informed. Last night, between eight and nine o'clock, a fire, attended with considerable alarm to the surrounding neigh bourhood, broke out in the house of a man of the name o f Bridger, Whito-street, Bermondsey, occasioned by a foul . chimney. The police were in great numbers on the spot el ViThekkikeirgithin a few minutes after the alarm had been given, and the ::.,_...---, _ }., fines from Leman-street and Watling-street station", 3s 7 , . : ~ ,- Ar s the West of England, arrived in quick succession, by -----..-- 7 % r• ' - - --.:?aels time a quantity of birch in an adjoining broom-maker's sd ignited, but we arc glad to state, that at the mo- In excellent supply of water was obtained, and by the ns of all present the alarm of the neighbourhood soon ted. , • *- , ( 5 ,24, - 7 "im ‘ r efert r- Aka a s 1 `,'~.~i The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. . • !: un+ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1637. " Out of evil," says the old adage, " cometh good," and the result of the North Wilts election—deeply as it is to be deplored in every other respect—will at least have this good effect—namely, that it will give an impetus to the question of the Ballot, similar to that which the Duke of WELLINGTON'S famous de claration in the House of Lords gave to the question of Reform. There is no gainsaying the fact, that. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has been returned by dint of a long purse, and intimidation of the most flagrant cha racter. Every species of factitious, unconstitutional influence has been arrayed in his favour. The pre judices of some, and the interests of others, of the electors have been appealed to ; here a promise, there a menace, has been held out ; parsons have been tampering with the ignorant and servile ; landlords denouncing the refractory; and the result of all this iniquitous conduct is, that the Apostate has achieved an unenviable triumph over the Reformer. Henceforth, let no man who calls himself a Liberal, and professes to have the real interests of the community at heart, say aught to the disparagement of the Ballot ; but remembering North -Wilts, fling to the winds whatever doubts he may have till now entertained on the question. The Ballot is our only secure protection against the inces sant and insidious encroachments of Toryism. To say that it is " un-English" is mere cant, when bribery and corruption are everywhere practised, without in the slightest degree shocking the sensibility of the community. Unhealthy indeed must be that sense of morality which revolts at the idea of conscientious se cret voting, yet can see nothing indecorous—no thing immoral—nothing " un-English"—in electors being publicly bribed to vote for the very men whose political principles, in heart, they wholly repudiate. Is it for an instant to be imagined that the Rejected of Westminster would have got in for North Wilts, if it had not been for such practices as those which we have just alluded to ? Not lie. He would have been kicked out with every mark of contumely, instead of being allowed to parade in triumphant procession through Devizes, with some twenty or thirty pounds worth of mob, yelping out hired huzzas at his heels. However, if one apos tate Baronet has been returned for North Wilts, it is consoling to know that ano:her is on the eve of being rejected for East Cumberland. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, it gratifies us to state, is, like the Irishman's race-horse, " driving all before him," on the poll. The constituency of the Division are nobly doing their duty, despite the herculean exertions of the Tory Magnates, who are stilling heaven and earth in favour of their pet-candidate. We suspect the faction will more regret the defeat of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, than they will rejoice in the victory of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, for in the capacity to do mis chief " Westminster's pride and England's glory" is far exceeded by the Guard of the Derby Dilly. We must remind the friends of Reform throughout the kingdom that the 25th of this present month of August is the last day on which objections can be made to the qualifications of voters about to be en tered on the new register. The time is therefore short which remains for the performance of a most important duty, to the neglect of which on the part of the Libe rals may be attributed, in a considerable degree, the unsuccessful result of many of the elections which have just been concluded. Bribery and intimidation are, unquestionably, thus two great instruments—the two main props—of the 1 ones ; without which they would soon cease to exist as a party : but it ought not to be dissembled that they do not rely wholly on these. They are very skilful tacticians, and allow no chance to escape them that can be made available to the cause, either by force or fraud. The advice which Sir ROBERT PEEL gave them after the passing of the Reform Bill—and very good advice it was—was to " look to the register, for there must the battle be fought in future." They have followed the counsel of the Right Hon. Baronet. They have been silently but perseveringly working at the register, until they have displaced a great many reformers, and added considerably to the number of their own supporters. Let any one look at the number of the constituency in the county of Middlesex, for ex ample, in 1834 and in 1837. At the former period the number of electors little exceeded B,ooo—at the latter, it was more than 12,000 ; and the increase consisted principally of partisans, many of whom had no other 'qualification than that which was supplied by the negligence of the Reformers. The unqualified elec tor, who felt no scruples of conscience in making his claim, was not objected to at the proper time, and therefore became entitled to be registered, and to give a _fraudulent vote to serve the interest of a corrupt fac tion. This was one of the causes of Mr. HUME'S de feat, But there is another way in which the Tory agents " work the register," as they very significantly express it. They not only place upon it those who hare no business there, but they exclude those who hav'e. This they do by making objections to liberal voters. They know at the time they make them, that these ob jections are not tenable ; but what does that signify ? If, out of 500 such cases, they succeed in 100, they have good reason to be satisfied. They calculate in this way: " Let us object to our opponents indiscriminately; if we succeed, well and good ; if we fail, there is no harm done—we suffer no loss—we incur no penalty—and the chances are that some of our objections will be sustained by the mere non-appearance, from various causes, in the Registration Court, of the parties con cerned to substantiate their claims." Such are the base expedients to which the petti- Fogging tools of the faction have resorted to attain those ends, which they feel to be unattainable by ho- nourable means. We now warn the Reformers to be on their guard against all such practices at the regis tration which is now in progress. Let them scrutinize the lists with a jealous eye, and purge the election roll of those names which have been improperly entered there on former occasions, or which shall be attempted to be so entered on the present. Far be it from us to ad vise a course of proceeding similar to that of our un principled opponents. They act on the jesuitical maxim that the end justifies the means. The Re formers hold such a doctrine in abhorrence, and readily forego the advantages—:hey can be but tem porary however great—which it brings. But what we say is this, that wherever a Reformer, on exa mining a list, sees a name which he thinks objectionable on fair grounds, it is his sacred duty to record his objection. We must not, in the bustle and excitement of the presen., forget the interests of the future. On the contrary, every thing that is passing around us proclaims the necessity of unremitting exertion, if we wish to proceed in the path of improvement, or even to maintain the position we have gained. A fashionable Morning Contemporary, whose -in fluence is chiefly confined to such red-hot political Dowagers as Lady CATHERINE BARNARD—whose subscription of a hundred pounds to the Conservative Fund of Kerry, was, doubtless, the result of an inti mation from some quarter equally well acquainted with the straits to which Toryism is reduced--exhibits this morning strong symptoms of alarm at the Liberal course public events are taking in Ireland. After enu merating the many difficulties the Tories have had to encounter, in all their past attempts to:oust the Whig Cabinet, our Contemporary dolefully continues : " So far as we can judge of election results, this state of peril is likely to become worse and worse, unless something very decided be clone by the British people in addition to what they have done at the elec tions. They have at the elections acted nobly, and with reason they may have thought that they were doing enough ; but they did not take into account the kind of enemy with which they have to deal in the O'CONNELL connection of her MAJESTY'S Ministers. They did not think that when they drove fools and blasphemers from the field of candidates, and rejoiced that theßritish House of Commons would no more be polluted by their pre sence, they were merely sending them to theO'CONNELL smithy, where they are to be forged into links of the infernal chain wherewith the Irish Romanists hind down certain Ministers of the British Crown to their service. In vain are virtue and honesty to triumph in England—in vain are English electors to free the con ductors of British Government from the pressure of the Calibans of the political world— - Abhorred slaves, Which any print of goodness will not take, Being capable of all ill." The Irish Romanists are at hand to place these mon sters of political vice in that legislative assembly from which the indignation of honest men had driven them. The O'Connell seats, The villains' general home—' are held open for their reception." The simple mean ing of all this trash and twaddling tirade against the Catholics of Ireland is that honest JOSEPH HOME, to the eternal disgrace of the bribed voters of Middle sex, has been returned for Kilkenny. The Tories, as the Hon. Gentleman himself told them on the hust ings at Brentfotd, have not, with all their bribery, been able to get rid of him ; and hence, in a fit of imbecile rage, more befitting a jilted Dowager than a public Journalist, the Post calls for a Bill for the disfranchisement of the patriotic electors of the Sister Kingdom. Can the bigotted clique to - whom the Post appeals in so great an emergency render him any service ? Dare the Tories, with all their effrontery, propose the coercion of Ireland in a Bri tish Parliament ? No, no ! The Tories have done all that it was in the power of corruption to effect, both in England and Ireland : and yet the Post distinctly states that the faction cannot, notwithstand ing the bribery and intimidation practised by its leaders, defeat the Whig Ministry in the House of Cominons. Now, admitting this to be the fact, we may take it for granted that Toryism is at its last gasp— for never again will it have such another chance of success out of that House, as it has had during the pre sent election. That chance was afforded it by Mi nisters themselves, whose too conciliatory and compro mising policy during the last Session of Parliament alarmed the fears and cooled the ardour of their friends—while it strengthened the hands, by apparently justifying the hostility of their enemies. Had Mi nisters fearlessly redeemed those pledges which by implication they gave the country when they car ried the Reform Bill—had they, as consistent re presentatives of the great Whig party •of 1715, supported Triennial Parliaments, the Ballot, and the still further extension of the elective Franchise, they would have now as overwhelming a majority of liberal supporters in England and Scotland as they have in Ireland. They are themselves become aware of this fact ; and we have .reason to believe that it will not be without is in fluence upon them when they next make their appearance in Parliament. They are now convinced of the extreme folly as well as of the immense danger of all attempts to conciliate the Tories; and we arc much mistaken if they will ever again place the country in jeopardy to try the effect of so foolish an experiment. We have uniformly held but one opinion respecting the true, as well as the safe and honourable policy, which it behoved Ministers to adopt. We always deemed the Tories incorrigible ; and therefore we al ways repudiated, as equally impolitic and unwise, eve!) , attempt to conciliate them. The opposition made to the passing of the Reform Bill ought to have con vinced the 'Whigs that the Tories were, and ever would remain their implacable enemies, and there fore that their true and safe policy consisted in making a common cause with the people against their common enemy. We are not now com plaining of the conduct of the Government—we are not unmindful of, nor ungrateful for, the valuable boons conferred on this country by the Whigs : we are simply accounting for the apathy with which several Liberal English county constituencies have received Whig candidates. As far as regards public opinion no re-action has taken place ; but it must be admitted that in sonic places the trimming policy of certain members of the Cabinet has diminished the popular confidence in the sincerity of the Radical pro? fessions of Ministers. But they now tee their error, and we have no doubt but that a perfect knowledge of it, under existing circumstances, will lead them to adopt a line of conduct in the New Pat liament which will afford the organs of Ultra-Toryism counilco /41 pOrtunities - of appealing to the charity of the Dowager BARNARDS, and to the zeal of the O.SULLIVANS and the INPGLIEEs, to save the faction from utter poli tical annihilation. Amid all the vapouring and boasting of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL at the Tamworth dinner, about the suc cess of Conservative principles, it is a melancholy fact for Lord STORMONT, and men of his stamp, that the Right Honoutable Baronet held out no hope of a re turn to office. Not a word was said about " shoals and quicksands," or " the vessel of the State being deserted by her crew." No ; these words were used when lie enjoyed the favour of the• Court, and cer tainly, if he never enjoy it again, it will not be for any want on his part, of praise, or rather falsoine flatter v. It was thought by some of his friends that he cx ceeded the bounds of moderation, when he paid such high compliments to the Sovereign on her first appear ance in public ; but on the late occasion he went a great deal further, and despairing of improving on his first essay, was obliged to select phrases from the wild hyperboles. of BURKE about the Queen of FRANCE. If by such means he expects to recover Court favour, the time for his return to office is far distruit ; and taking even his own account of the number of Conservative Mem bers in the new Parliament, he can have as little hope from the House of Commons. He reckons upwards of 300 Conservatives, or about the same number he had in his own Parliament when he was unable to carry or reject any one motion ;but he - reckons without his host, and seems to trust only to the men sent by the rotten constituency of English boroughs, and by the un fortunate tenants at will. He reckons without taking into account the spirit of that people whom he assisted so long in oppressing, and who by the most prudent, but determined conduct, are now taking the most effectual means to prevent his return to power. In Scotland he will have no gains—in Ireland many losses ; and any increase of Conservative Members in England he will owe to a system of which every up right statesman must be ashamed—to a system of bribery, intimidation, and deception, more extensive than any ever practised even by the Tories. The whole of the Paris Journals of Monday have been received. With the exception of the annexed extracts, they contain no news of any importance. A reciprocal Treaty of Commerce has been agreed upon between Prussia and Holland, the provisions of which are as extensive as they can possibly be made. This Treaty reflects the greatest credit upon the Statesmen by whom it was framed, and the Sovereigns by whom it was adopted. The following are the extracts from the French Papers referred to above : The Sentinelle des Pyreners of the 3d has the following paragraphs : A letter from St. Sebastian of the 2d August, tells us that the troops which were to leave for Santander have re fused to go on board the steam boat. The soldiers require to be paid, and pretend to know that funds have been sent from Madrid for that purpose. I believe, in fact, that the troops are going to receive part of their arrears. Our letters also inform us that a certain sum which was at first believed to be intended for the Legion, was sent from Bayonne to St. Sebastian for the Spanish troops and for the city. " These funds, however, arrive very seasonably to hasten thelleparture for Santander of the corps of troops which is to act in Old Castille in concert with Generals Alcala and Castaneda." We are assured that the road from Santander to Burgos is intercepted by the band of Castor. General Seoane, Brigadier-General Tena, and Colonel Wylde, have not been able to leave Santander. A letter from Toulon of the 2d August, contains the fol lowing news : " We have received letters from Genoa of a recent date ; they are full of details relative to the measures taken by the Sardinian Government to hinder the importation of the Spanish journals. Some event appears to be feared. There are movements of troops ; the garrisons of the towns have been increased. A. levy of seamen is spoken of, whence it might be supposed that Charles Albert intends to arm his fleet. The letters which give us these particulars say that the Sardinian Government and the agents of Don Carlos have no doubts of the speedy triumph of the latter. It is known that Sardinia has shut its ports against Spanish ves sels, and still expeditions are preparing for the Pretender. It is, however, certain that the people begin to murmur, and that the Government is not without fears. If, on the approach of Don Carlos, a revolutionary movement should take place at Madrid, the effect will be felt in Sardinia."— Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.-Psitte, Am. 7.

The Spanish Government, at the instance of Mr VILLIERS, the British Ambassador at Madrid, has suspended the Royal Order of the 13th July, 1830, which imposed exceptional duties upon vessels pro ceeding from Gibraltar to Spanish ports ; and like wise suspended in favour of English and French steamers the Royal Order of the 9th of April, 1837, which prohibited the importation of foreign coals into any port of the Peninsula. Until the Cortes shall otherwise determine, British and French Steam Com panies arc allowed to have depots of coals for the use of their vessels at Barcelona, Alicant, Cadiz, and Co runna. These concessions are of some importance to us-; but in truth they are of an hundred times more value to Spain than they can ever be to England or France. The vessels for whose con sumption coals are required at the above ports are principally engaged in guarding - the Spanish coast, and in that capacity have already rendered most valu able services to the ConstitUtional cause. It is, there fore-, unworthy of the Spanish Government to parade the temporary suspension of two ridiculous, suicidal decrees, as a liquidation of any part of the debt of gra titude which Spain owes to England. But, unfortu nately for both countries, it is next to impossible to make Spain and Portugal comprehend any part of their true commercial interests. It appears never to have entered the heads of their Ministers and repre sentatives that, while neither cif them could possibly lose, they would of necessity gain by an extensive in tercourse with a nation wealthier and more enlightened than themselves. The Gazette of last night contains an Order in Council, exonerating the servants in ordinary, with fee, of her Majesty, from public offices, from serving on juries or in quests, watch or ward, arid from any mulct or fine for not submitting thereto ; also an Order in Council approving the recommendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners that the sum of 850/. per annum be paid to the Bishop of Lichfield from tha funds in their possession, in order to raise the annual income of the Bishop to the sum of 4,500/. per annum, subject to the postponement of payment of the said 8501. from defi ciency of funds ; also an Order in Council approving. the re commendations of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners with res pect to the appropriation of the Castle of Durham, and certain precincts thereof, to the University of Durham, saving cer tain rights and privileges now appertaining to the Bishop of Durham, and to the officers of the see.

The bridge at Kirbythore is extremely narrow, there being scarcely room for a horse to pass by a coach while crossing. This bridge has been long complained of. When the mail arrived at the bridge on Friday night, one of the leaders very slightly swerved ; the coachman attempted to draw up, but it was too late, the wheels grated against the low parapet of the bridge, and in an instant the coach (full inside and out) went right over into the river, dragging the horses after it. The night was very dark, and there were two women and two children among those outside. One of the women scrambled out of her own accord—the other was assisted out by a fellow.pas senger, and the children were also saved—one by the mother, and the other by the same gentleman who had assisted the woman. Fortunately, in consequence of the late heavy rains, there was a depth of about two-and-a-half feet of water in the river where the coach fell, and every one, in con sequence, escaped without the slightest hurt, except the coachman and guard. The former received a very ugly, though not dangerous, cut in the bead, and the guard com plained much of a hurt in his leg. This, however, did not prevent his riding to Appleby, six miles and a half, with the mail-bags, from whence he got a gig to Brough. He was doomed, however, to prove the truth of the adage, that mis fortunes never come singly, for before reaching Bruugh one of the wheels of the rig came o ff, an d h e onc e more fell to the ground. We believe, h owever, t h at he again escaped without serious damage. Th e l ea d er t h at caused the accident broke its back in the fall, an d was soon after killed, in order to put it out of pain. Th e near w h eeler was drowned. The other horses were, a ft er some diffi cu l ty, got safe l y to l an d . I t is a circumstance not a little strange, that four of the northern mails should have been upset on that same luckless Friday night. A stockbroker, who died about two mouths ago, had laid .a-,wager-on parole with a rich capitalist at Paris. The latter male his appearance a few days since a t the resi dence of the widow, informed her that her late husband had lost a bet of 16,000 francs, and asked her if she could rely solely on her informant's assurance that the transanction had taken place, and fulfil the engagement contracted by the de ceased? The widow, without hesitntion, produced a pocket book from her secretary, and proceeded to count bank notes to the amount of 16,009 francs, when she was immediately in terrupted by the capitalist :--" Madame," said he, "as you give such convincing proof that you consider the wager binding, I have to pay you 16,000 francs. Here is the sum, for /am the loser, and not your late husband. —Freeman's Journal.

GREENWICH REGATTA.—This matA amongst the watermen at these stairs was very sell contested, but it is much to be regretted that there were not more men to compete. Six seullers in five beats is an absolute infliction, nor is it calculated to increase the beauty of rowine.. It is a match invariably well attended, and that too by the most respectable res'Alents of Blackheath and its vicinity.

In the grand heat, which was between Read and Wilson, there Was but little difference until rounding with the tide, when ;Wilson came up. The second 'man was impeded by some craft, and the victory was won by Wilson. COOMBEI AND CAMPBELL.—There was an immense atten dance of the leading clubs on the River yesterday, alth ou gh there was wind enough out t o h ave made a repetition of the accidents which occurred a few days since, when Mr. Col quhoun and Mr. Jones attempted to row. The attraction w as great, and independent of the merits of the two men, the purse for which they contended had been filled by the gentle men of the Leander and other clubs the night the Funny Club wager was decided, which, it will be remembered, was won by Coombes and Kelly. Coombes, when out of condition, suc ceeded in defeating George Campbell, but the gentlemen were of opinion that the latter had improved, and might stand a reasonable chance of success. They are both little men, neither weighing ten stone, and, as far as regarded personal appearance, looked nearly matched. Coombes rowed in the beautiful wherry of Mr. Layton, and Campbell had the black boat belonging to another gentleman. At half-past five the men were at their stations at Westminster Bridge. Campbell won the toss for station, and took that on the north shore ; Coombes was at the next pier to the southward. At twenty minutes to six they started ; Coombes made the stroke first. but there was hardly a shade of difference, a:nd they were scull and scull until they reached the road above Chandler's. H e re Coombes went to work with power which surprised many, and grit two lengths a head in about twenty strokes. He had im- Foved his advantage to four lengths at Vauxhall Bridge. He continued leading, and at the Red House was at least eight lengths before his opponent. The fate of the day was decided. Cuombes won by a quarter of a mile, and jumped out of his boat nearly as fresh as when he had entered it.
