The Royal Assent was given by Commission to no lees than fifty-eight Bilis, among which was Viscount HaannGE's Annuity Bill, giving power to the East India Company to grant an annuity of 5,000 t. to the Noble Viscount, independent of his emoluments as Governor-General of India. After the Commission nothing of any particular interest came before their Lord hips. The Sruzza toeli the Chair 3hsrtly after Four crtleek. After the private business had been disposed of, some discussion took place upon the remaining reso lutions of Sir G. CLERK with respect to the broad and narrow gluge. The resolutions were ultimately agreed to. Sir R. PEEL gave notice of his intention, in the course of the debate on the Protection of Life and Property (Ireland) Bill, to enter into an explanation respecting the charges made against him by Lord GEORGE BENTINCK respecting his conduct in re ference to the Catholic Emancipation Bill, in the years 1825, 1827, and 1829. The CHANCELLOR of the ExcREQuEn gave notice of his intention, in consequence of the length of the debate on the Coercion Bill, on Monday next to move that the existing Sugar Duty be continued for one month, in order to give time for the discussion of the various amendments of which notice had been given. Mr. HUME thought this would be a most desirable course to adopt. _ _ The adjourned debate on the Protection of Life and Property (Ireland) Bill was then resumed by Sir A. ARMSTRONG, who, in a most indistinct tone, opposed the Bill. Mr. BENNET thought that after the long delay that had taken place„ there was no necessity for the measure. He had considered the subject long and anxiously, and he was now convinced that he ought not to support the Bill. Captain LATARD opposed the Bill. _ _ _ Mr. HENLEY also opposed the Bill. He would not vote for a Bill like this for England, nor could he vote for such a Bill for Ireland. Sir H. W. BARRON opposed the measure, and ex pressed his firm conviction that the Bill would totally fail in the objects it had in view. All such measures would of necessity fail until Parliament went to the root of the evil—the poverty and the wretched con dition of the people of Ireland. The measure, if carried, would cause great agitation in Ireland. Captain FITZMAUBICE supported the second read ing of the Dill. _ . _... Mr. ilAwEs opposed the Bill. Lord FRANCIS EGERTON supported the second reading of the Bill. On the motion of Mr. S. CRAWFORD, the debate was adjourned till to-morrow. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House:adjourned. Sir C. NAPIER, on Wednesday, in moving the second reading of the Navy Civil Departments Bill, made some very important observations on the state of the administration of the Navy. In a country like our own, whose unexampled prosperity hitherto has been owing, in a great degree, to her naval power and superiority—whose proudest boast has ever been that she needs no other bulwark or protection than that afforded by her wooden walls, and who has never for a single moment had occasion to regret the unbounded confidence she has reposed in her gallant defenders, who have ever faithfully and honestly discharged the duty they owed to their country, anything relating to that service, to the better and more efficient management of its various details, must necessarily be of the deepest interest ; more particularly so, when brought forward by the Hero of Acre, the man who has given a thousand proofs of his unflinching devotion, His zeal, activity, and intelligence that pur suit to which he has dedicated himself from his earliest boyhood, and in which he has achieved for himself a reputation worthy of his time-honoured name, in which it may almost be said of him, as it was of his gallant ancestor by the Scotch King, when conferring on him the name won on the red field of battle, " that he had nae peer, and therefore he should thenceforth be called Napier." W hen seconded by a nobleman, of opposite politics indeed, but who had also distinguished himself in the service of his country, and who had been selected for his gallantry and ability in the conflict to bear home to a grateful nation the pleasing intelligence of the new laurels obtained by her children at Navarino, formerly supported by a Gallant Officer, who has since been most properly selected to fill the high station of one of the naval Lords of the Admiralty, anti by other Gallant Officers in the House, such support, we say, demands the most serious attention, and stamps with authenticity the statements and professional opinions put forth under such auspices. We are now happily at peace with all the world, but it must be recollected that the best gua rantee for the preservation of that peace, so justly and so highly prized, is in ever being prepared for any alternative, in being " ready, aye ready for the field." The nation that is prepared for war will seldom be called upon to test the amount of that preparation, and it is surely in the time of universal tranquillity that full attention should be given to every means by which improvements may be effected in one of the most, if not the most important branches of our service. Sir CHARLES urged the necessity of having the Admiralty under the control and superintendence of practical naval men, and not of civilians. It would, indeed, appear strange if the office of Commander-in- Chief of the army should be conferred on a person who had never served in that army. and who must necessarily be unacquainted with the details of that service, of the force which it would be necessary to employ for any particular object. It seems still more anomalous that our navy should be placed under the direction of gentlemen who had no experience therein, who were selected for their Par liamentary abilities, and not for their skill and knowledge in that department, over which they were called to preside. He traced much of the evils which he mentioned to the ignorance which neces sarily prevailed in the board, and gave some curious details as to the division of labour at that board. Thus, the First Lord took all the pa tronage, that was his department, and a most wearying and harrassing duty it must be admitted to be. Another had the building of the ships under his control, another the store, and another the victualling department. The proposition of the gallant mover was, that the number of the Lords of the Admiralty should be reduced from six, the present number, to three. He argued " that thereby matters would be more speedily decided on, and that they would be always sure of a majority, but that with six to consult it was difficult to come to any decision, and that the consequence was never ending procrastination and delay, for which no one was to blame, for they could not say who was responsible." There certainly appears much justice in this objection, and anything that would inspire additional activity, and take away the procrastination that notoriously exists in the Admiralty, would be a good service to the country. He proposed that, in place of the three reduced Lords, there should be appointed three controllers, who should each have the head of a particular department in which am e e x ie pe nt ri w en o e rki e n an g d of k w n o h w ie l h ed h g e e, s h a o n u d ld fo b r e r th es e p d o tr u e . and b sible : —na ther e another of sthhould be a controller of the dock yards,of the accounts. The a e ef medical department, and a third in some of the newly belleitsurd dangers stated to exist surprise. Whatever may be the e el e s a will be read with steps will be forthwith taken to remedyuse swuehtrust that errors. On the . division the second reading was large majority. We dee 1 - wa negatived by a p y regret it, as whatever might be the defects of its details, they could easily be amended in Committee ; and we think the discussion would be attended with much b ene fi t, eliciting the opinions and obtaining the suggestions of practical, well-informed naval officers. We trust Sir CH, A RLE S w ill persevere, as he is not a man easily discouraged by opposition; on the contrary, the greater the difficulty in his way, by s o much the more will he exert himself to overcome it. We ven ture to say, that " defeat " is a word which has no place in his vocabulary. Thanks to an innate predisposition towards benevo lence in the multitude, the memories of those indivi duals who have in any manner distinguished them selves as philanthropists are usually perpetuated by the erection of some memento kindred in character with their exertions. It is impossible not to recognise in the public an anxiety to render some testimony of their gratitude to those illustrious personages who have contributed to the happiness of their fellow-creatures. Statesmen, who have mellowed the legislation of their country under the sunnings of wisdom and liberality —pt.cts, who have decorated their native literature, or taught lessons of divine morality in divine and un eying 7 erse—lhil - Q9cphoT, 'ho lure light!md tha THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1846. labours of the artisan by the construction of elaborate machinery—orators, who have advocated the nation ality of justice—and warriors, who have preserved their mother-land from invasion, have: all equally been honoured by posterity by some appropriate monu• ment. From the ancient days, celebrated by the " Lays" of Mr. MACAULAY, when There stood in the Commitium plain, for all folk to see, The figure of Horatius, halting upon one knee ;" down to the commemorative statue to WATT, or the proposed testimonial to ROWLAND HILL and Father MaTREw. It was for the avowed purpose of contri buting one other instance to the long and glorious cata logue of national gratitude to national benefactors that a meeting was convened on Wednesday, by the Lord Mayor, in the Egyptian-hall of the Mansion-house The object of this assembly was simple it is true, but it was to our thinking both beautiful and sublime —namely, the raising of a memorial to the' late Mrs. ELIZABETH Far, as a lasting token of admiration for her character and of affection for her memory ! And it was resolved, moreover, that this memento, to quote the earnest language of the Bishop of NORWICH, should not be "a tablet in a church, with an un meaning inscription—not a sarcophagus, or a mausoleum—but one which should abide in its effects long after marble had dwindled into dust ;" namely, a temporary reception for repentant females on their release from the metropolitan gaols; and assuredly no more suitable manner of perpetuating the name of that most excellent woman could possibly have been devised ! The promoters of this enter prise, among whom we are gratified to per ceive many influential personages, deserve every commendation for so appreciating the worth of this celebrated Samaritan, whose name must ever stand immeasurably above that of the heartless charity-monger, Josisi HOWARD. And while in this manner rendering a tribute to the cha racter of Mrs. FRY, a great blessing will be bestowed upon the most helpless creatures in the community those unfortunate females who, after undergoing Imprisonment, are thrust forth, homeless and desti tute, into the byeways of this licentious capital, with nothing whatever to preserve them from an irre parable profligacy. Their temptations are more deplor able than those which are customary in society ; the sin to them is not masked by smiles or roses, but is brazened before them amidst starvation, and nakedness, and contumely. They emerge upon the causeway before the prison gates ruined in repu tation; they are driven by poverty to the lowest dens and the foulest rookeries in the metropolis; and what with the contamination by which they are encompassed, and the consciousness of their own im potency, their ruin is inevitable, and they become abased from sinless women into harpies. It is fur the protection of these wretched beings ; it is to swell the number of honest citizens and to diminish the victims of debauchery ; it is to promote virtue, and by that means to assure happiness among hundreds of our fellow-creatures, that the proposed asylum, to be called " The Elizabeth Fry Refuge," is about to be undertaken. And heartily do we conjure the promoters of this noble scheme to persevere in their endeavours, to allow their labours no flagging in terval, but so to combine and so to persist in the ad vocacy of the undertaking, that the asylum shall, before many months have elapsed, flourish in some suitable quarter of London, fructifying the germs of morality which still remain in the bosoms of its in mates, and proving ',itself not wholly unworthy of that distinguished lady from whom it will have received its title. Nearly eleven thousand pounds are still wanting to complete the funds which are deemed requisite for the construction of the "Refuge," fifteen thousand pounds being estimated as the cost of the building, and four thousand being the amount of sovereigns already contributed. That eleven thousand pounds will be collected, or we have mis taken the sympathies of humanity. The report that the courier of the French Em bassy at Rome had been robbed of his dispatches, on his way to France, is confirmed by the German papers. These papers also announce that in Sep tember next the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA will meet at Vienna. We have no intelligence from Lisbon of a later late than that published yesterday. It appears that the Ministers are directing their attention to the sub ject of financial reform, and they have issued a pro gramme, promising extensive retrenchments, and the fulfilment, as far as possible, of the national engage ments. The foreign dividends are to be held invio lable under any circumstances. Advices have been received from Madrid of the 11th of June. All places of_ public amusement were to be closed for nine days in consequence of the death of POPE GREGORY XVI. ; prayers are ordered to be offered up for the election of a good Pontiff. It is reported that Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA has commu nicated to the editor of the Clamor Publico the fol lowing letter addressed, in 1836, by QUEEN MARIA CHRISTINA to her sister CARLOTTA LOUISA, the late consort of the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA. "My dear Louisa—l have received your dear letter, in which you remind me of the conversations that have often taken place between Ferdinand and us as to our some day marrying your sons and my little girls. This project has always pleased my heart, and I wish that time had wings, in order that I might behold the accom plishment of that which has ever been the desire and will of dear Ferdinand, which desire and will I shall always endeaveur to realise, so far as I can, ard the more so as I have always acknowledged the real affection you feel for me and my little gills—an affection which has made you reject all other matches. I also believe that the national repre-entation, instead *opposing those marriages, will approve of them, as being not only advan tageous to our family, but also to' the nation, seeing that Spanish Princes are alone concerned in question. I shall not fad to make the said proposal when the proper time comes for it. Adieu, dear Louisa; accept, I beg you, your sister's sin cerest thanks, and for ever confide in my affection. " Your sister and triend, " MARIA CHRISTINA. " Paris, Jan. 23, 1836." On the festival of Corpus Christi the QUEEN went in grand procession, accompanied by the authorities, to the different churches in Madrid. It was ru moured that the Cortes would be dissolved in July, and that the new Cortes would be summoned to meet in October. The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 11th, owing to the Corpus Christi fetes. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The budget of the expenses relating to the French consulships was voted on Monday, in the Chamber of Deputies, after an endeavour, on the part of MM. DE LAMARTINE, LEON DE MALLEVILLE, and Balt- RYER, to get up a discussion on the subject of Syria. The only reply which M. GUIZOT made to their taunts was, "that he could add nothing to what 'he had already stated. The discussion should certainly take place, though not now; for the present time was not a fitting one. At this moment a reorganisation was being effected in the Lihanus, which tended to re place under the same power all the populations of the mountain. It would he most unwise to run the risk, by any premature discussion, of compromising the arrangement in prospect, which would, he hoped, restore peace and happiness to Syria. The efforts of the French Government in this question might be denied, but they were not questioned in Syria, or at the propaganda of Rome. It would be an easy matter for him to communicate letters to that effect, but he sh ou ld no t d o s o ; ne x t sess i on a ll wou l d be arrang e d, and M. DE MALLEVILLE would then him self perceive the error into which he had fallen."

Nothing certain vas known of the movements of ABD-EL-KADER. The Courrier Francais says— "We are as, , ured that rizivernment has received from Otaheite news of a most serious character. Several warm en gagements bad taken place between our soldiers and the natives of the different islands, which M. Bruat had given orders to occupy. But the mos t serious fact is t h e connivance of the English missionaries, who covertly sent p ow d er and ammunition to the i nsur gents. .Several boxes of cartr i dges concealed under Bibles and religious books were seized ; and the marks of English manuf ' ctories were equally f oun d on the muskets left on the field of battle by the natives. We shall see what steps will be taken by Government in presence of the constant renewal of such incidents.

MONEY and• COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales, 6,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were dull, and not quite so gcod. Much regret has been expressed in mercantile circles this morning at the result of the notice of motion which stood for discussion yesterday at the East India House in favour of a testimonial being made to Lieutenant Waghorn for his unwearied zeal and perseverance in originating and com pleting the overland route to India. It must not, however, be assumed that this circumstance arose from any lukewarm ness on the part of the proprietors in awarding to this gen tleman the full meed of praise—and something more sub stantial to boot—by the notice having been dropped. The fact, we believe to be this, the Honourable Proprietor who gave notice of the motion, as well as many others, anticipated a rather lengthened discussion upon Mr. Poynder's resolution for the immediate abolition of all anti-Christian rites in the East Indies. The Hon. Proprietor, however, did not persevere in addressing the Court at any length, and as Mr. G. Thompson, who had two motions on the paper, could not attend from illness, the Quarterly General Court, which is usually a "field day" for proprietors, who like to see their names in print, was suddenly brought to a termination by the motion of adjournment being proposed and carried. We have reason to believe that the subject will again be revived, and that Lieut. Waghorn's claims will be elaborately and deservedly brought forward in the ball of the East India House. But a few private letters have come to band this morning from the Brazils, brought by her Majesty's steamer Swift. In trade at Rio Janeiro, as well as at Bahia, there does not appear to be any marked features. A demand for bullion for the interior and for the River Plate had sprung up. This may account for the comparatively small amount of specie that has been brought home on freight by the Swift packet. The Consol Market is still flat. For the Account the current value now is 95 1 / 8 rather buyers : for tba RP. th. paitatltii• 1143 receded from 95% to 95%; and the New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. from 971 to 96%. There has been a rally in the premium of Exchequer-bills to 16s. Bank Stock has fallen from 206% to 205 1 / 2 . The only bargains worth notice in the Foreign Bonds to day are those in the Portuguese Four per Cents., at rates fluctuating from 49 to 51, the present price being 50*. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents have been sold at an improvement to 60 and Russian are at 109%, and the Mexican Deferred at 164. A pretty fair amount of business has been transacted in Railway Shares and Scrips this morning ; but in prices the changes since yesterday have been slight indeed. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSINe O'CLOCK.

An address has already emanated from the Committee, which states that the amount hitherto contributed towards the liquidation of the debts incurred by the reverend gentle man, in his philanthropic labours, amounted to 6,8401., and that only barely sufficed for the object then contemplated. NOVEL MODE, OF INTERMENT.—Mr. T. Brookhouve, Ramon cement manufacturer, of Derby, having died was interred in All Saint,' Churchyard on Tuesday week. A thick layer of cement was spread at the bottom of the grave just before the coffin was lowered ; the sides and ends were then Riled, and another layer of f r e e , i v i d in e r i e , u i t t e s a itro- the-ti t e ..

FORTIFICATIONS AT GRAVESEND.—The new f cations on the site of the burial-ground of the chantry, erected by I Amer de Valence, arc rapidly proceeding. The men, whilst exca vating, a few weeks since, for the foundations of the magazine in the centre of the fort, discovered man} of the skeletons of its former oc cupants. The original chapel, though cased over with modern brick- ; work, is still standing. It is now converted into the military hos pital. In the recent alterations necessary to such conversion, Patti" 1 , tions, &c., were removed, which then developed its original shape ; it was 59 fe t long and 17 feet 7 inches in breadth, within the walls, and was covered with a cove root, probably originally lined with it boards. The height of the edifice from the floor to the highest point of the cove was about 16 feet.

BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The Pacha, after his manufacturing visits last night, remained at Ids hotel, and did not. as on the previous evening, visit, with his suite, the street attractions of the borough. This morning be proceeded to the School of King Edward VI., in New-street, where he was received with due honour by Mr. Tindal (oue of the governors, and a brother of the Chief j us ti c -) sea ch. 12...5, J. D. Tkn visit was one of considerable interest. His inquiries evinced his usual acuteness. Bing accompanied through every apartment, his Highness inquired as to the age at which pu•ils were admitted, the system of education adopted, and whether or not, according to the provisio is of the charter, foreigners could he admitted for tuition int) the establish ment. The reply of the Principal was to the effect, that foreign pupils (boys residing within the confines defined by the Act of Parliament passed in confirmation of King Ed ward's charter, not applying for vacancies) could, upon the payment of 201., be admitted. The Pacha appeared to be highly delighted with the school, and the pupils, between 400 and 500 of them, reciprocated the feeling. After leaving King Edward's Free Grammar School. the party proceeded to the Soho Works, the tamed establish ment of Messrs. Bolton and Watt, at Handsworth. From the Soho Works the party proceeded to the establishment of the Messrs. Hunt, at the Braides, near Olbury, thence to the glta.s manufactory of the Messrs. Chance, at Spon-lane. This mo--t splendid and extensive concern appeared to attract the particular attention of the Pacha. The party returned to Dee'- Royal Hotd, Birmingham. The Prince left this town to-night by the ordinary express train for Manchester. The inhabitants of that town appear disposed to provide his Highness, at least, with amusements, for Mr. Sloane, the manager of the Manchester Theatre, was in Birmingham this afternoon, with IA view t make arrange. ments for tht Pacha's gratification on his arrival in the ma nufacturing metropolis. It may be mentioned that, during his Highness's visit to Birmingham, he has shown the greatest liberality to all per , sons with whom he has come in contact. His pu, chases cf manufactures have been to a great amount, and his pecu niary acknowledgments to attendants far exceed these of any previous royal visitor. THE QUEEN v. DEW and OTHERS . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. exp anation of your report of this trial, I heg you will do ive the justice to stat+ , , that although I intro duct d Mr. Rallett to the parties, I, no more than any of them, had the slightest idea of fraud in the transaction. This was first discovered by mysk-lf and Captain Spry ; immeJiately on which my solicitors were instructed to inves , igete the matter, for our own as well as Mr. Cop pard's protection. Unfortunately for us, the writer of the forged le ter, though a man of hereditary title, has hitherto eluded apprehension, bit a full statement of the whole case from m% self and Captain Spry, is in poses sion of the East India Comvanv, and, as full proofs, col. lected by us, against the real offender, are in the pushes sion of my solicitors. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. London, June 18, 1846. W. TROTTER. THE COUNTRY PART Y. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—Knowing, as I do, some of the "c .untry party" now forming a portion of the House o! - Commons, I am not at all astonished that those most disappointed per sons should exercise an almost unlimited license of lan guage. But I must con•'ess my astonishment that the Speaker does not use his authority, and put a stop to the " badgering" so dFgraeefully carried on. The "country party," by their unhlih-lung condut.t, are fast destroying themselves as a party. So good comes ou of evil. Yours resin , etfully, COMMON DECENCY. June 17, 1846 DUTCH ANI) FLANDERS MAIL.

AMSTERDAM, JUNE 16. —We understand that her Majesty will come to-morrow morning, at five o'clock, by a special tram to Amsterdam, and afterwards by the Rhtnish Railway to the Lon, there to keep the birthday of her Royal flightless the Princess of 0-inge. We I+ arn, from good authority, that the Company of the N , rth Brabant Railway, not having fulfilled the condition of depositing 500.000 florins by the 11th of June. the plan of ex , cuting thst railway may be consi sidered as given up fir the present. Bois LE Duc, JUNE 15 —lt is said that the Govern ment int nds to build in this town a cellular prison, and that the spacious and handsome edifice which has hitherto served as a prison will be converted into barracks for the garrison. COLOGNE, JUNE 14.—The musical festival has COM menced with great splendour, and with every appear ance of a favourable result. BRUSSELS, JUNE 15.—The King and Queen. who left Neuilly on Saturday morning, arrived at ten o'clock in the evening. The papers have very long accounts of the fetes on 'the opening of the railways. More than 50,000 persons went through the Cologne gate of Brussels to witness the arrival of the French Princess. Everything passed ~fl' in the most satisfactory manner both at Lille and Brussels. The Cardinal Archbishop of Malines will cert inly set out very shortly for Rome, to be present at the conclave. The Bishop of Namur is to accompany him. His Eminence had a long con fererice with the Apostolic Nuncio, after receiving the official news of the death of Cope Gregory XVI. . . The Count d'Arschot died onSaturday nig ht, or rather Sunday morning, at half-past two o'clock. The disorder of wh'ch he died was manic discs- e of ti v. heart, com bin' d latterly with perpneunic,ny. He was in the 75th year of his age, having been born on the 12th of December, 1771. The news of the vote of the Chamber adopting the project of law relative to the railway from Luxemburg, was received in the provinces on the 10th ofJut,e, and gave great satisfaction to the inhabitants, woo exp.-ct great advantages to ac,Tue to the agriculture and com merce of Ardennes. THE BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, JUNE 17.—The Swift packet, Lieutenant Douglas, commander, arrived this morning with the Brazil mails, having sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 25th of April ; Bahia, on the sth ; and Pernambuco on the 12th of May She brings on freight about 8,0001. in gold and diamonds, and the following passergers, viz.: Messrs. Archibald, Prince, Branscombe, Wilson, Melly, Cox, Hogg, and family, Felippa, and servant, Yeyler, Brachado, and Mrs. Brady. This packet brings no news of any importance from Rio, ten days having only elapsed Between her sailing and that of the Penguin. The accounts from the River Plate are rot so re • cent as those brought by the Pnilomel, which arrived here on the 7th inst., direct from that quarter. Prior to the Swift's departure from Pernambuco, information had reached that pace, by the steamer, of the Emperor's arrival at. Rio from Santos, on the 26th of April, the day after the sailing of the packet. Exehange at Rio was 26M to 26% 2 ; and Stock, 76M to 76%; Provincial ditto, 73. The Swift left at Rio tlu, Crescent and Crane packets. The American frigate Columbus arrived on the 21st of April from the River Plate, with dispatches fur the British Minister. Freight as follows :—London, 405.; Antwerp, 20s. to 30s. ; Channel, 271. 6d. ; Haintvali, 20s. to 305.; Havre, 40f. to 45f. ; United States, 40c. to 50e. ALARMING ILLNESS OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL•— We regret to learn that the Duke of Bedford and Lord John Russell have received accounts from Genoa, announcing the painful iiitelli pence of the serious illness cif General Lord William Russell. But faint hopes are entertained of his recovery, and the tenor of the let ters from his Lordship's medical attendants have prepared the mem bers of his family for the worst. On Monday last further advices were receive', and the reports were then more favourable. It was the cause of the postponement of the Dowager Duchess of Bedford's intended series of fetes at Campden Hall. Lord Wm. Russel ,it will be recollected, was many years the British Minister to the Court of Prussia. NORTHERN RAILROAD.- The number of persons in vited to the inauguration of the Northern Railroad who left Paris ti amounted to about 1,500.

The scene created yesterday on Moulsey Hurst, so frequently described as to be stripped of every ! article of novelty, agreed ~so essentially with all that have pre et.ded it under the present regime, that we shall make no apology For leavieg it to the itnagination of our readers. We need only briefly observe that the attendance. although compared with some years showing a marked falling off—a consequence, no doubt, of the overpower ing heat of the weather, was very large. embracing all those gradations of rank, from royalty downwards, inva riably to be found at these meetings. The stands, how ever, were but indifferently filled for such an occasion, and the proprietors, we fear, mtpt have found small can solation for the first day's deficiencies. To keep so numerous, and free and easy an assemblage in anything like subjection was not, an easy task ; the greater credit therefore is due to the managers of the course for the precautions taken to prevent a recurrence of those in terruptions that at no v-ry remote period were apt to set all control at defiance, and not unfrequently to lead to serious accidents. The arrangements were perhaps not quire perfect, but the disposition to render them sc was evident, and it is but jusiree to add that, in our ex perience, the course was never so well kept. To give a list of the fas ionable visitors would only be to add the name of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge to those incladed in our report of the firs% day's sport. We shall, therefore, wind up out brief preliminary by stating that the racing commenced at half-past two, and, from au excusable indulgence between the heats, was protracted until half-past six I The Hurst Cup of 30 Sovs., added to a Sweepstakes of 5 Sovs. each—three vrs old, 7-t 41b ; four.

EXE'I ER and EX , lOUTH RAILWAY COMPANY. A special meeting of the proprietors and sha-eholders of this G.mpany took place yesterday at the —ondon Tavern, in compliance with the ses<ional oroers, to consider the pro prioy of pr..)c, eding with their Ilil, at present before Parlia ment fir the purpose of making a railway from Exeter to Exmoutl-.. _ _ _ _ . The meeting was adverti=ed for t.n o'clock, but it did not commence until eleven, in consequence of the uon•attendance of the proprietor , , at length !h,ee or f.ur shareholders having assenioled, E. ‘Voulmer, E-q., was called to the chair. The , ;ECILETARY having read the advertisement convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that the non• attendance of the pro prietors arose, he considered, from the gr.-at confidence they vested in the directors. Their Bill had passed the House of C.mmons Committee, and had received the sanction of that House. It had also passed the Committee on Merits, and stood now awaiting the derision of that meeting. before it could rect.ive its third reading and become the law f the land. The directors had received a sufficient quantity of scrip to c constitute a meeting, and he would, theref;Te, pro pose a resolution to the effect—" That it was the opinion of the meeting that the Bill shou!d be proceeded with." 1. he resolution was put, and declared to be unanimously carried. - - - -.- The CHAIRMAN observed that, although the expenses would be exceedingly moderate in carrying out the line, the directors considered that the proprietors would be much better satisfied with the arrangement which had been effected with tl South-Western Company, who had guaranteed them 5 1 / 2 per cent.—( Hear.) The Bill was then read to the meeting, which declared that the , tapitat of the company should be 160,0001., in 16,000 shares at 101 per share, and that the calls sh.,uld not ex eed 21. per share, and that interest of tour per cent. should be paid upon the calls. There wa , a clause of sale also in serted, where.,v the company were authorised to sell the line to the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Company, and a pro vision which enacts that the Bill is t i nt to come into opera tion until the Exeter and Yeovil, or some such other com pany, obiain an Act. for the construction of an Exeter and Yeovil line within the s,ssions of l'arlatnent of 1846 and [847. The meeting then separated. NEW ZEALAND. Extract of a letter, dated Wellington, Feb. 7, 1846 : . "It seems extraordinary that Captain Grey has been nearly three months in the colony without deigning fo an nounce his advent to us southerns. Either he is playing the general officer at the Bay of Islands, or else he has been indoctrinated by the Auckland people that this is only a fishing village,' &c. We are now without official intelli gence and mail from Auckland since the Ist of November. " The New Zealand debates have excited our neighbours in Australia and Van Diemen's Land. A vessel arrived from the latter, brings news tit the resignation, in a bthly, of all the non-official members of council, and the c mmencement of an agitation for representative legislation; and in New &nut h Wales and Port Philip they have determined t• - ) send agents to Landon, like those of Canada and the \Vest Indies. Van Diemen's Land seems going aux aboix in consequence of Lord Stanley's system there, and I believe if we had things better establishvd here we should have an extensive immigration from it and its neighbours." Nothing was known at the Cook's Straits settlement of what Captain Grey's intentions were as no carrying on the war Kith the natives at the Bay of Island-; indeed, the dis tance of the sea: of Govertuncry front tines. se , tlements is so great a drawback that the settlers know nothing of what is doing by the Government, excepting through the Sydney newspapers.

The Lords' amendments on this Bill were read and agri ed to. bIIEFFIELD, ASHTON.UNDER-LYNE, AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. Mr. WARD moved, on the consideration of the report on the S etli.ld, Ashton-uhder-Lyne, and Minchester Railway (Birt , sle) Branch) BA that the Bill be re commiit, d to the formtr Committee ; that the Cowl:nit tce have leave to sit and proceed on Monday, at twelve o'clock. The promoters of the Bill felt they had been hardly dealt with, as they had not been permitted to proceed with ..vidence before the Committee. Mr. E ELLICE, jun., thought if the House was to decide on re committing Bills after they had alreadf been disposed of in Committee, Hon. Gentlemen who servea on those Committees had better at once refuse to attend. It would be useless to legislate at all if the re gular business of the House was to be interrupted hi the :.uvgestionsot it, terested pa rties.anda sy stem ofcaxivas e permat , d which was highly discreditable to the House. i‘ wa- but two nights ago that a similar motion was ma.er and Hon. Membets •. ere actually dragged from the str , ets to vote in the I souse. Upon these grounds, b e should most decidedly oppose the re committal of the Bill, as it would be impugning the decision of the Con' mitte . Art HoN.

It was cruel to r.fer back the Bill to Aie Cool: mitt. e in the pres. ilt hot weather, whit sot the slight!!! prospect of the Committee coming at any other oplele u than that to which they had alreaoy agreed. Lord G. SOMERSET opposed the motion. Mr. bPO: NER and M. CAVENDISH supported the motion. Mr. G.

'I ht, Committee had cone their decision after a most careful examination of the evidence brought before them, and he would therefor e support them and vote against the re-committal.

More than one - half of the in• habitants of Lancashire were in favour of such a Pr' ceeding, and there was a very strong impresston on the winds of the promoters of the B i l l, that thq had an irresistible case.
