REGENCY BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave notice that on • Monday next he should propose to their Lordships the se ,‘, cond reeding of a Bill which he now begged to introduce, e`which was rendered necessary, in consequence of the ab ,,sence from this country of the presumptive heir to the ''s,:Throne, and which was intended to provide for difficulties '''that might arise in the event of the demise of the Crown. ;- He would only then state that at present it was thought '.advisable to adhere to the provisions of the statute of 'Queen Ann e , made under similar circumstances. Lord BROUGHAM hoped that that was only as far as .0. the circumstances were the same ; for by that Act it was et . made high treason to say any thing in favour of a Spaniard. 4 ,t The Earl of MANSFIELD did not rise for the pur 4. pose of teaking. any observations upon the Bill which the • Noble and L earne d L or d h a d introduced, but was anx i ous to take that opportunity of offering a suggestion to the N 0.4.„ . 4 .„ ble Viscou nt. H e (Viscount Melbourne) had with great t propriety lost no time in proposing a measure which must 'be, in the opinion of all, highly necessary ; he had been , deterred by no false notions of delicacy—by no fears of ex a.:. citing recollections of that fate to which Princes and their ;subjects must alike bow ;be had not relied too confidently upon the an t ic i pations, which, as they were consonant with the wishes and feelings of every one, were likewise just and rea- •edsonable, that the event for which this measure was intended to provide Would in all probability never occur ; but he -(Earl Man s fi eld) would beg to call the attention of the Noble Viscount to that which must take place—he meant , the death of the Sovereign and the demise of the Crown, and the circumstances in which the country would be placed on that demi se ; and he would suggest to him whether it . ( was not expedient that he (Viscount Melbourne) should ~ •take into his cons id era ti on th e a d vantages or di sa d van t ages "arising front the continuance of those provisions which en acted that P arl i ament s h ou ld not b e di sso l ve d b y t h e d ea th 0 1 - of the Sovereign, but that its sitting should be limited to a period of Silt months after that demise, although at the same time the powers ...).3 . , . of the Crown to prorogue or dis solve remalki unaltered. He would ask whether any Le - - advantage to the country was derived from that enact ment ? The inconveniences arising from it he had himself an- ? bserved, d in conversing with many persons on the sub aject they had frequently been pointed out to him. One in stance occurr e d on the occasion of the death of George II 1., ~y when a Parliz tNen , t very recently assembled, was by that event necessa r i ly dissolved. Another inconvenience was ' felt in 1830, arising from this provision ; and generally it r was well know n that when a dissolution was expected it • was impossible t o retain many Members in London, and . t.' thus much p u blic: business was impeded. Whether those 7,: , ,nconveniences w ere counterbalanced by any advantages t i that might be derived was not a question into which he wished then to enter indeed, it was his desire to avoid, at ;:hat time, all discussion on the subject. There was only 14 then, the furth er consideration as to the time at which, , supposing such a l terat i ons to b e t h oug ht expedient, they should be made, Now i t appeare d to him that that time .41 was the present, Parliament was about to be dissolved, x end no objection, therefore, could arise that it was endea 4. vouring to prolong its own existence. It might be said i ., that if they were to pass a law there would be no probabi -4 lity of their ever teeing its effects ; but though that might ~. be the case, he did not ' feel himself precluded from propos ing a measure the el result of which lie might, and probably ~ 'would, never behol d. • Lord MELBOI/ RNE could see no sufficient reasons .. : ,why Parliament s hould determine within six months after ' ,the demise of the Crown ; but he was not, at the same -._ time, prepared to say that be had sufficiently made up 4 .i;his mind to express any decided opinion on the ques • tion, or to say that th - there might not be reasons and ar ". , guments which wcald induce him to view in a different T•light the inconveniences with which the present practice ,now appeared to hint to be attended. The Noble Earl ,had likewise stated several reasons, in some of which ', there was considerable force, for considering the present 'the best time to Propose the alterations which he had :'suggested ; but he (Viscount Melbourne) could not help '':thinking that there were other reasons sufficient to -- - create more than doubt as to the opinion which the ',Noble Lord had expressed on that part of the subject. He --' must beg to suggest to the Noble Earl whether it was -''right or prudent to ietroduce such a proposition at such a time ; it must be ,recellected that this, whether expedient or not, was undoubtedl y a very great constitutional altera tion—it was a great t} an ge. It was in some respects an .:infringement on the p o pular rights and privileges, for it : went to deprive the People of that which certainly appeared e to him a proper opportunity of expressing their views and Yeelings with respect to their Representatives ; and he did ..e therefore, .ehikthat it ,:think, -Was extremely doubtful whether the ',occasion of providing for e particular case by a measure in , troduced under particular circumstances in a Parliament, :the termination of which Ras settled and doomed, was the . ';fitting opportunity to int todnee a great change of this ~ nature. But, further, the propos i t i on wou ld i n terf e re with :'the duration of Parliaments, which was a question involving triuch of popular feeling •ant excitement. He felt that the e question was one of such importance that it ought to receive 4more consideration than could be given to it at the present :time. He would, however, give his best attention to the ... • suggestion of the Noble Earl ; but he could not help ex ' pressing the inclination of itiopinion that that was not the .proper time for proposing a measure of that nature. :e, - POOR LAWS. Earl STANHOPE said tll a t - the petitions to which he , now wished to call their Lordcips, attention came from .1 the east ern di v i s i o n of Durham, but were all of them an , terior to the l a rge meeting from which the petition he had . presented the o th er night had emu la ted. The Noble Lord a then presented four petitions frost places in the parish of Huddersfield, praying for the r e peal of the Poor-law Amendment Bill. That there hat been a great reduction of rates it was impossible to deny ; but- he could show to their Lordships that that reduction was not the result of the successful operation of this Bill, The Noble Lord was here interrupted by a message e from the Commons, which brought t i p the Robbery and Stealing from the Person Bill, the Offences against the 1 Person, the Burglary and Stealing in a Dwelling-House, the Piracy, the Burning or Destroying Buildings and Ships, the Transportation for Life, the Registration • of Mar riages, &c., Amendment, and the Tithes Commutation Act Amendment Bills. Lord DEN 111 A N moved the first reading of the Offences against the Person Bill, and made a similar motion with re -pect to all the other measures, respecting the same general subject of c ivil proceedings, which had just been brought , up.—Agreed to. The Noble and Learned Lord also agave notice that he should move the second reading on !Tuesday next. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the first read ing of the Commutation of Tithes Act Amendment Bill, and gave notice of the second reading for next Tuesday.— Agreed to. Earl STANHOPE resumed. He had been proceed ing to state that in many places where the new Poor Law Bill had not been carried into effect as great a reduction of ra tes had appeared as elsewhere. In the city of Chi hester th e poor rates had been reduced one-third. In a parish in his n eighbourhood, from six shillings in the pound, 1 ~which was the rate in 1833, th ey were re d uce d to t h re e !shillings in Isle of the pound in 1833. I n anot h er par i s h i n the Thanet the rate s h a d b een re d uce d f rom seven s hillings to four shillings in the pound. Then it was per fOtly clear that in all parishe s th ere were very many cause s Which had c o n t r ibuted t o p ro d uce a cons id era bl e re d uc ti o n in the poo r ra t es . A simil ar re d uct i on h a d ta k en p l ace i n i parish i n D er b ys hi r e, where, sinc e 1822, th e poor ra t e s , had bee n di m i n i s h e d near ly one-half, and th a t, as th e inha !b.itants stated, without the aid of the unmerciful Commis eoners or their agents, but from the increased demand for lelabour and the increased rate of wages. There was Also another cause for that reduction to be found in a ,neasure the principle of which was wholly distinct froth '0 `' the new Poor Law Bill — he meant the alteration of the ,- law of settlement.. Upon the retur ns su b m itted to their , Lordships, no just estimate could be formed, because they chid not contain complete statements of all the expenditure 4 the workhouses. He maintaine d that the .new Bill had only led to additional expense ; the p rinci p l e of the h p ,former Poor-law Bill was truly econ omical, but under the I present system the labourer must become a permanent 'earthen to the country. He would reserve tiny further observations on the subject, and would content himself with iireading the prayer of the petition. The petit i on was from ~.., ,0 perish in the county of Durham, and prayed that the VlPoor-law Amendment Act might be totally repea l e d . T he iinext petition was from Tiverton, in D.;vonshire, and it oreyed their Lordships to take their complaints into con .',l,,,,leration, and apply a proper remedy to them. ' - -;4 1 'The Earl of RAD N 0 R—What are their complaints ? •e; :. , .4 Earl sTAN HOPE thought the best way would be to rread the petition. The Noble Earl then read the petition , vlticli stated that the Poor-law Amendment Act bad been no w twelve months in operation in that paris h, and that its rjoperation f . had been attended there with no beneficial result ;.,: clewhatever—that the poor rate had not been diminished, and ' , e that the measure had not given satisfaction either to the ate payers or to the paupers. He moved that these pc , reitions be laid upon the table. The Earlof P ADN OPsaid that the House bad great L„,e, • Vreasots to complain of the conduct which the Noble Earl V had purmed with respect to these petitions. Ile had had tv - many of those petitions his hands in "" for a considerable 4. length of time, and i ns tead of bringing them forward at an '4 , . vc an opportun ; ity for . ;r.qu p l c. - irk. time, that would g. ir • and ), notable the House to wicertain whether the statements in p: 7,,,:v:;:Ar`i'....',:';'2•;.!1-:•:;:.'':!..7.,14-1,2;;;-,..''.- • .4 , 1'4.*;-. _ .7. ~--, the petitions were correct or not, the Noble Earl kept back those petitions to a late period of the session, when, from peculiar circumstances, it was impossible to enter into any inquiry, or be able to correct any of the mis-statements that those petitions might contain. The Noble Earl had told them on a former evening that he was the representa tive in that House of the labouring classes— Earl STANHOPE—I said the acting representative. The Earl of RADNOR would say that the Noble Earl was a most unfaithful representative. Complaints were made against this measure by individuals who did not condescend to inquire into its operation. The Noble Earl had represented this Bill as calculated to produce the ruin of the country, the insecurity of property, and the degrada tion of the people, but if that were the case, why did not the Noble Earl come forward to oppose it ? Instead of this, the Noble Earl chose to go to a country which he bad described as being much better governed awl happier than this. The Noble Earl had spoken of this Bill from what he had read in pamphlets. He (Lord Radnor) certainly admitted that when the Bill was brought forward, it had been stated that there must be an increase of the poor rates if this Bill did not pass, and on that occasion he (Lord R.) stated that one of his chief reasons for supporting this Bill was that it tended to ameliorate the condition of the labouring classes. The question was whether it had produced that good. The Noble Earl had not taken the proper trouble to inquire. If the Noble Earl went and made inquires amongst the vagabonds and the frequenters of the beer-shops, and the proprietors of those beer-shops, he would bear from them that this Bill *as a bad Bill. He might also hear that the people were looking very ill, and that they were not as well clad as they used to be. It was somewhat extraordinary that if this Bill were so oppressive in its operation, there had so few petitions been presented against it. The places where this Act had been longest in operation were Sussex, Hampshire, Northamptonshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, and Berkshire ; and he knew from experience that the opera tion of the Bill had eiven perfect satisfaction both to the labourers and to the farmers. The Noble Earl mentioned Suffolk as one of the places which had suffered. Now with respect to the county of Suffolk it appeared from returns that, for three years previous to the introduction of this Bill, the average expenditure was upwards of 200,0001. per annum. Now it appeared that the expense in 1836 of the two quarters ending on Lady Day, the most expensive half of the year, amounted to only 88,0001., thus effecting, by means of the new law, a saving of upwards of 50 per cent. The Noble Feud had argued that it was impossible but that the rate should go on increasing rather than diminishing, as there would be a considerable expense incurred in the erection of workhouses. Now this anticipation was fal sified by what had taken place in the county of Suffolk, where, notwithstanding the expense incurred by work houses, the rate had diminished, and must of course go on diMinishing still more, as those expenses would not have to be applied again. With respect to what had been said about the number of paupers having been lessened by the employment afforded by the railways, he would state this : —Before the Act came into operation there were in the county of Suffolk thirty-six thousand paupers. Now, since the operation of this Bill, that number had been greatly reduced. The Liverpool and Birmingham Junction Rail way gave employment altogether to only six thousand per sons, so that it was impossible that this species of employ ment could have extensively lessened the number of pau pers. The Noble Earl had declared himself opposed to the unrestricted use of machinery, and objected to this Bill as the product of political economy. Surely the Noble Earl did not refuse to enjoy the comfort of eating his din ner with a knife and fork instead of with his fingers, mid and unless be was prepared to go back to savage life he could use no argument against the use of machinery, for if a knife and fork, or a plough, or a spade, was an improve ment, by a parity of reasoning the same must be admitted of the most perfect and complicated machinery. The Noble Earl ought to recollect that it was to the use of machinery that the populous and prosperous district (the West Riding of Yorkshire) from which the Noble Earl had on a former evening presented a petition owed all its prosperity. .The Duke of RICHMOND was well acquainted with the operations of this law. He was in the habit of attend ing the Board of Guardians, and examining the different. statements sent in to them, and he had an opportunity of forming, from experience, an opinion of the working of this Act. He could not accept the challenge which the Noble Earl had given him, because he would he sorry that an op portunity would be afforded to the people of that county to see the Noble Earl come forward to excite them, and he would be obliged to tell them that the Noble E srl was abroad in another country, when he ought to be attending to his duty here. He would be obliged to tell them that the Noble Earl had abandoned his duty ; but he would ac cept the challenge, if the Noble Earl would accompany him, to view the different workhouses and the Boards of Guar dians ; and if, instead of the palaces of Germany, he would be content to visit the cottages of the poor, he would there find that the people were much better off than under the old system. He admitted the petition presented from Chi chester had been respectably signed, and amongst the signa tures he saw the names of individuals who would not, he felt satisfied, wish to entrust their petition to any Noble - Lord if they thought that he would make it the means of declamation for the purpose of exciting the people. It ap peared that the Noble Earl had read the report of the evi dence of Mr. Staveley, but he had evidently omitted to read the last return which had been made to the House of Com mons with reference to the parish of Chichester. He re gretted that the Noble Earl had not read that return. Now, what did the clerk of the Board of Guardians of that parish say ? He was asked, "Do you give outdoor relief in your parish ?" and his answer was " Oh, no." He was then asked when they had ceased to give outdoor relief ? and his reply was, " About two years before the new Poor-law Act came into operation." Everything, therefore, which the Noble Earl had stated with respect to Chichester had been met by the most complete refutation.—(Hear.) The Noble Earl had thought fit to bring down a petition to their Lordships' House against the new Poor-laws, and what was the result ? Why, even according to his own showing, that in the parish of Chichester at least, the spirit of those laws had been acted up to long before the new Poor-law Act was passed.—(Hear.) He was at all times unwilling to occupy their Lordships' time by reading documents, but he thought he would be excused in placing before them a com parison between the workhouse at Chichester and that at Westhampnett union, in respect of the poor of those dis tricts. The statement to which he alluded was as follows : Chichester. Westhampnett. Population Average number in the Average number in the workhouse Expenses Expenses calculated on ou f s o e r the year ending March, 1837 £2,216 the expenses of the last quarter £5,300 If, then,. 146 was a fair amount of persons to be taken into the workhouse of Chichester in a population of 9,000, the Westhampnett Union would have been justified in an ave rage of 243 inmates of their workhouse ; whereas, the average had been 165, being a balance in their favour of 78. If, again, 2,216/. was a fair amount of relief in a population of 9,000, then 3,963/. would have been a fair expenditure in respect of a population of 15,000. Allowing, therefore, for argument only, that the ex penses of the machinery at Westhampnett exceeded that of Chichester by even 4G01., then that union had expended in relief 9371. more in proportion than Chichester.—(Hear, hear.) He did think that this statement and these facts, that a debate in their Lordships' House was more likely to brine out the whole truth than a discussion on any hust ings which the Noble Earl might recommend. The Noble Earl had said that the crime 01' infanticide was on the in crease, but where the Noble Earl hail got that information he (the Duke of 'Richmond) was wholly at a loss to con ceive. He had seen a return lately made to the House of Commons, in which it was stated that the crime of infanti cide was on the decrease rather than on the increase, and he must say that the Noble Earl was bound, before he put forward such assertions, to make inquiry as to the truth of his statements.—(Hear.) The Noble Earl had censured the Poor-law Commissioners, but he did not think it neces sary to answer that part of the speech of the Noble Earl, or to say whether he agreed or disagreed with him as to the merits of these commissions. The Noble Earl had offered no excuse for himself, and therefore he would, by way of ex cuse for the Noble Earl, say that he had been so much abroad that he had forgotten good old English customs.— ( Hear, hear.) There was ouly one other sub:p:.:t which he felt called on to notice, and that related t o medical relief. He disapproved of the practice of paying for each indivi dual case, but in the parishes with which he - was acquainted this was not the practice, and the medical men employed received liberal remuneration. It had been the practice under the old as well as under the new system, in som e in stances, to pay by the case, but he did not believe that on the whole the poor had better medical treatment than they now obtained.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of H ARDW ICK thought that the Noble Earl ought not to have gone into a discussion on this sub ject without showing in the course of his argument the state of society as it existed before and since the passing of the new Poor-law Act. Now what was the feeling of ti.ose in whose hands the a dministration of the Poor-la.as was placed prior to the passing of the present measure Why, they said they were borne down by the arrogance of the poor, by their style and address, and above all, they complained of the labour rate. On ail hands they declared that they knew not what to do, and said that the evil was such that something must be done to remedy it. Now he must say that he did not believe human ingenuity had ever passed a law which had so completely answered the purpose for which it was intended as this. If the Noble Earl would next session move for a Committee to inquire into the nature of his object, and were to ascertain what the real operation of the new poor laws was, and would adopt that obvious course, all he could say was, that the I Noll! Earl should have his assistance and support. Lord HATHERTON was intimately acquainted with the manufacturing districts in that part of the country with which he was connected, and he could assure the Noble Earl that he had, up to the present moment, never heard a complaint uttered as to the efficiency of the poor laws to accomplish all that was intended by them. Earl STANHOPE denied that he had ever endeavoured to excite the people to petition on the subject of the poor laws. On the contrary, although he had signified his in tention not to return to the House of Lords, ho had been pressed to present the petition. After a few further ob servations in defence of the line of conduct he had pursued upon this subject, the Noble Earl concluded by thanking their Lordships for the attention with which they had honoured him. The other Orders were then disposed of, and their Lord ships adjourned. A commercial gentleman, a traveller for a cut-nail manufacturing house in Rochdale, Lancashire, terminated his existence in an inn in this town, on the morning of Wednesday last, by severing the windpipe with his penknife. The unfor tunate gentleman—who was much liked and respected on "the road"—had been in an unsettled state of mind, resulting from the effects of previous indulgence ; and, though the inmates kept an eye upon him, he took the opportunity of their temporary absence to commit the dreadful &ct. We under stand, in fact, that not the slightest degree of blame, in point of negligence or otherwise, can attach to the highly respecta ble establishment in which the occurrence took place.—Dunt fries Courier. TIIE WAR IN SPAIN .—Mr. tolburn has just published two new works which will be found exceedingly in teresting at the present moment, when the public attention is so strongly directed towards the affairs of Spain. One is the " Memoirs of Colonel Charles Shaw," late Brigadier-General in the Spanish Auxiliary Legion, which comprises a narrative of the war in Portugal as well as Spain, and contains a great body of the most interesting correspondence; the• other is Captain Byng " Spain, and the Seat of War in Spain." To those who wish to obtaiii accurate information respecting the present contest we strongly recommend these two works as deserving of an attentive and careful perusal. AFrA TR OF Ho NOUR.—Yesterdav morning, at half-past four o'clock, a duel was fought near the Red House, Battersea, between Charles B —m, Esq., resident at the above place, and Henry P —e, Esq., of Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Mr. B. was accompanied by the Hon. Robert V. P —s, and Mr. P. by Robert I—, Esq. On the signal 13.,ing given, both gentlemen fired, Mr. B. firing in the air. The Hen. Mr. P. demanded on behalf of the latter gentleman if the injured party had received the satisfaction required ; but upon the question being answered in the negative each gentle man fired a second time, Mr. P.'s coat receiving the contents of his opponent's pistol. The parties then separated without coming to any satisfactory explanation. The misunderstand ing arose in consequence of Mr. B. having inflicted corporal punishment on the other gentleman for a personal insult. SOUVENIRS OF A SUMMER IN GERMANY.— These are two pleasing volumes, the production of a recent tourist. They are the souvenirs of a lady who has made good use of her eyes and her judgment in looking about her and de ducing just inferences from what she saw. The volumes are exempt from the common-place catalogue-like method of de scription ; they may be read without being wearied by mono tony or teazed with impertinence. The charm of the book is, that it conveys the impressions of a cultivated and ingenuous iniad, fresh from the pen of the writer, to the sensations and capacities of the reader. It pleases by the absence of pretence, and is the more valuable, as it is the more free front effort and affectation. "-- Times. THE QUEEN'S DECLARATION.—The following is an extract of a letter from a member of the Privy Conned to a gentleman in Edinburgh, dated the 20th of June, 1837 : " I have just returned from the Privy Council which as sembled at Kensington at eleven. Nothing could be more graceful or in better taste than the manner and action of the young Queen. Iler voice and delivery are particularly good, which gave great effect to the declaration, which, I think, is remarkably well composed. It was altogether a most touching and affecting, as well as interesting sight, and we were all afraid that the Queen might be overcome on so sudden and trying an occasion, until we saw that she could command herself, and that she was able to go through all the duty of the day with self-possession and calmness."— .illoriting Post. "SNARLEY YOW ; OR, THE DOG FIEND," BY TIIE AUTHOR OF " PETER SIMPLE."-There are features in this, new novel of Captain Marryat, Nvhich give it a higher claim to public admiration than any other than that we have yet re ceived from his pen. In point of invention—that highest and rarest of ail the faculties necessary to a successful writer of fiction—the tale of " Suarley 'Vow," is quite extraordinary. The profuse way in which the author pours forth his pleasant and exquisitely natural creations—whether of incident, of cha racter, of humour, or of the minor details in which all these are attired—can scarcely be imagined without a perusal, and have rarely, if ever, been surpassed. In this respect his work is more entirely a creation than almost any other that we could name, even among his own numerous productions.—Naval and Military Gazette. DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.—It IS 110 W cal culated that the business of Parliament—at least all that will be pressed this session—will be gone through by the 14th or 15th of July ; the prorogation will take place a day or two afterward.; ; at all events, it is stated in well-informed quarters, that the dissolution will take place on the 20th cf July. It is also very confidently stated that the new Parliament will be re assembled, agreeably to the date of the writ, namely, forty days after the dissolution of the Parliament and the issuing of the requisite writs. A scene of an extraordinary description took place on Tuesday le,st in Wilton -street, Belgrave-square, about noon. A lady, in a loose French roquelaire, jumped out of an open ear. riage and rang with great violence the bell of one of the houses in the street. A servant answered the appeal from a window ; the lady demanded admittance, but was refused. She then applied to the knocker, and repeated the attack so often that it alarmed the whole neightourhood. The door was then opened as far as the chain would admit, but ingress was still unattainable. The alarm brought the police, who entreated the lady to retire; she refused unless her four children, which she said were there, were delivered up, and she again com menced her attacks on the knocker. A messenger was then sent by the inhabitants to the station-house, and that brought the superintendent, who plainly told the lady that she would be removed by force, if necessary, fur the preservation of the public peace, for a great mob had collected together who were taking part with the lady. The remonstrance had the effect intended; she entered her carriage and departed. We have heard that, a day or two preceding that on which the late King breathed his last, lie inquired of the Earl of Munster, who is Constable of Windsor Castle, whe ther he had the baton of that office in his possession? And, upon being answered in the negative, his Majesty instantly, although very considerably enfeebled, directed that it should be brought from the jewel-room into that in which he then was. As soon as the baton was produced his Majesty directed that it should be deposited upon his bed, which having been done, he with his own hands, notwithstanding all muscular power had nearly left the royal sufferer, placed it in the hands of his son. The exertion caused by this act of parental affection is said for a time to have produced great exhaustion. Loss OF THE BANNERMAN.-We regret exceed ingly to announce the loss of this vessel, with that of her first officer and many of her crew. We subjoin the full account received from one of the officers, who miraculously escaped : —" The vessel left Lintin on the morning of the 17th of De cember, and on the 19th, when blowing a hard gale from the north east she carried away her main and mizen topmasts, and suddenly struck on a shoal. The course of the vessel wils S. S.W. Upon the loss of her topmast she hauled up half a point, fearing, in her crippled state, of falling, in with the land. All the hands were on deck when the ship struck, and pt none were aware of the danger in which they were so spee dily dashed. Five minutes after this the sea broke over the ship, and she filled rapidly. Personal safety was at this mo ment the prevailing feature. She had broken her back, and there was no chance of saving her. After the most laborious exertion, and at a time when the Captain and officers had all the work to themselves, the three boats were got out. The fist broke adrift with only four men in her, and passed the breakers upon the shoal into smooth water. The second boat, with an officer and eighteen men, then pushed oft to bring the first boat back, if possible, to the vessel, as there were upwards of a hundred left on board the ship, which was going down fast, but this was found utterly impracticable. The long-boat next left the ship, with the Commander, the Ist Officer, and the whole of the crew, and in their endeavour swamped her bows, being stove against the rocks, and Mr. Shakspcare, the . - Ist officer and four of the men were lost. The boat was at length cast up on the shoal, but the water was not deep enough to float her. So despairing were they that they undertook the arduous task of carrying and dragging, by main force, the long-boat across the shoal fur upwards of a mile in distance. he exer tion on the part of both officers and men was wonderful : it had appeared, in the first instance, almost insurmountable, but still was effected.. She put to sea with all she possessed, a few old oars, with three blankets sewed together, as a sail hoisted before a strong gale. The most persevering activity was necessary on the part of the officers to prevent the boat foundering, and they were incessantly engaged baling her out. They were in the most dreadful condition. There was no thing in the boat but a small basket of oranges—they had neither bread nor fresh water, and during the whole of the four days and nights the poor fellows had but the quarter of an orange each per day. Some of the mariners quenched their thirst with salt water, and immediately became insane. The state of both officers and men was truly dreadful. The crew were dying one after the other from insanity and actual ex haustion. On the 23rd of December they succeeded in effect ing a landing a landing at Lung May, in the territory of the King of Cochin China. His Majesty dispatched two of his own ships from Turon to convey the unfortunate crew to Sin gapore. The conduct of Captain Wilson, the unfortunate Mr. Shakspeare, the first-mate, who perished, Mr. Bayne, Mr. T. Chipcbace, and Mr. Leslie, the officers, deserves the highest compliment, as does the behaviour of the mariners, with tome Lw exceptions." According to the last aclvices from Egypt, published by the AugsbUry Gazette, it would appear that the situation of that country is extremely alarming. In Alexandria and Cairo provkioes are so scarce that the population is literally starving. Mehemet Ali's stores continue to be overstocked w:th cotton, which he is unable to sell, and, being sadly in want of money, he has decreed a forced loan of 1,000,030 of talatii, to be levied on ail civil and military functionaries, from the rank of Pasha to that of CLlonel. The administration, army, and navy, have received no pay for several months. Journal du Commerce. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, MT NE 30. 137. MONEY MARKET. THURSDAY EVENING.—The following notice was issued at the Bank this afternoon : " The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby give notice, that the advances, in pursuance of their notice of the Ist inst., on bills of exchange not having more than 95 days to run, will be extended to bills of exchange not having more than six months to run ; such advances to be re paid on or before the 15th of July next, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, and to be for sums of not less than 2,0001. each. " Bank of England, June 29, 1837." As this will afford an accommodation of fifteen days only, it would appear to be hardly worth the trouble of making it a special announcement. It is understood to be meant for the relief of those p.irties who hold bills At very long dates, such as are drawn for the trade with India and China, in which the recent fall of prices has brought on an increased pressure for money. The very structure of these bills, which has greatly added to the inconvenience of the parties who hold them, ex cludes them from all advantage of discount under the rigid system which the Bank Directors and Private discount ers have lately been compelled to adopt, and much appre hension has been entertained, consequently, that a crisis would soon be brought on affecting the whole of that trade. To the extent to which the Bank has gene there will be, under the circumstances, some relief, and the East India Company are d'sposed to give their assistance also to their merchants, so far as their non-trading functions will now permit. They are placed in some respects in a position analogous to that of the Bank, in holding securities supposed to have been equal in value, but which turn out, by the re verse the trade has suffered, to be inferior to the amount of the bills drawn against them. The usual latitude taken in the transactions between the Company and the merchants has been to advance - on credit for two-thirds of the value of the goods imported, but the fall in some articles has been greater than the remaining third, and it has become the interest of the Company not to press harshly and strict for the payment of the acceptances they hold. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. THE ADDRESSES TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN AND THE QUEEN DOWAGER. • The Remembrancer informed the Court that her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen had been pleased to appoint the 12th day of July to receive the addresses of the Court of Common Council, and that the Queen Dowager had appointed the 13th of July to receive the address of con dolence. The Remembrancer also intimated to the Court that it was the Queen Dowager's wish that the deputation should be as limited as possible. Mr. FLETCHER moved that the deputation to the Queen Dowager should be limited to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen Sir C. S. Hunter and Scholey, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, the mover and seconder of the address, and the Remem brancer.—Unanimously agreed to.

The following singular mode of deciding a dis puted fact (which, if adopted by our superior Courts, would put an end to much special pleading,) took place at the Ceistor Court. •On Monday John Thompson sued Joe Fletcher - for the price of two flitches of bacon—plea, that the bacon was bad and not eatable. After a long argument the Commissioners came to a decision that the bacon should be boiled and brought before them for their judgment. In three quarters of an hour, a part of the flitch smoking hot, accom panied by knives, forks, plates, &c., was placed before the learned Judges, who, having each carved a portion, solemnly ate, and decided that the bacon was boar's flesh, hard, and not good for food. Since wager of battle, wager of law, and fiery ordeal have been abolished, and the whole weight of the judicial decision falls on Judge and Jury, it is but fair that they should overcome their repugnance to such an experiment, and adopt it in future.—Lincolnshire Chronicle. The New South Wales Colonist has the following : Great excitement has prevailed in the town for the last few days, in consequence of the intelligence that the female emigrant ship Lady Macnaylann. which entered the Head on Sunday, was infested with the fearful disease of typhus fever, having, during the short spare of five weeks, lost 56 of the un fortunate passengers; and 90, including Dr. Hawkins, the surgeon of the vessel; being on the . sick list. The Lady Mac nayhton, when within a very few days' sail of this port, fell in with his Majesty's ship Raillesnalle, the assistant-surgeon of which vessel, hearing that the poor emigrants were without medical assistance, volunteered his services to go on board in the capacity of surgeon. Government have given directions for every requisite assistance to be afforded them while under going the necessary quarantine ; and we have no doubt that pure and wholesCrne food will soon put a stop to the disease. The exciting causes of typhus fever are to be traced to low living, or its opposite extreme, debaachery and the indulgence of intoxicating liquors, anxiety. fear, and depression of mind, and a close and tainted atmosphere : hence we cannot wonder at its breaking out in a vessel where a number of poor Irish, who have been previously debilitated by bad living, are crowded together with no occupation to divert their minds from dwell ing on the sad recollections of the homes and families from which they have parted for ever. These poor creatures will, we hope, call forth the sympathies of the public on their release from quarantine; and it will, we should imagine, be a pleasing inducement to many to hold forth the band of charity to the poor oxen, to think, Olt while relieving their necessities, by • giving them a share of the luxuries bestowed by Providence, • they are lessening their own chance of suffering by the same dire complaint."
