Shortly afterwards an apprentice boy, who had, or fancied he had, cause to complain of undue severity on the part of his master, deliberately murdered that master standing on the threshold of his own door, whither he had gone to give admittance to his assassin. In each of these cases the cause that led to the fatal results may be traced to the facility with which the instrument of death may be procured and retained, the familiarity with its use that results from a continued possession, and the has ing at hand the means of giving effect to the most bloodthirsty feelings in the very moment, or at least in the first heat of anger, without time being permitted to elapse sufficient for the cooling down of the pas sion, and the recollection of the fearful consequences that might result from its indulgence. Within the last few days a trial has taken place at the Central Criminal Court that demands the most earnest attention of parents and others acting as the guardians of youth, and loudly warns against the indulgence of the pernicious wish for the possession of fire-arms. A lad, aged sixteen years, stood at the bar, charged with having deprived an innocent man of life—a per son wholly unknow n t o hi m , w ho was casually passing through the street on his lawful business. There was no evidence that the parties had ever met before, or to induce the suspicion of any feeling of hostility existing in the mind of the prisoner towards the deceased. The prisoner was, therefore, not charged with wilful murder, but with the lesser offence of manslaughter. The law in such case is per fectly clear and distinct. In the words of the Learned Judge, if a person having a deadly weapon in his possession makes use of it in a negligent or careless manner, and death ensues in consequence, the offence would be manslaughter. It appeared that a few mi nutes before the fatal occurrence the prisoner had entered into an altercation with a young woman, who had accidentally pushed against him, and that he pro duced the loaded pistol, making use of threats towards her. Two men saw him pass with the pistol in his hand, the manner in which he carried it may be conceived from the evidence of the witness HAYTI. AWAY, who states that on seeing him the witness stepped aside, being fearful that he might be shot. The witness KIBIBEft saw the prisoner with the pistol in his hand, and shortly afterwards heard the . report of fire-arms; at the time there was no one near enough to the prisoner to touch him ; it appeared to him that the prisoner was in the act of half cocking the pistol at the time it went as. The jury, notwithstanding this evidence, which was not contradicted or impeached in any manner, acquitted the prisoner, and thus practically found that the person who had pulled out a loaded pistol, and with it threatened a female—who walked with it in his hand, so as to alarm a passer-by—and who cocked it in the streets—had not acted in a negli gent or careless manner. We are at all times unwilling to impeach the decision of a jury ; we fully concur in the benign principle of the British law, that it is better that one hundred guilty persons should escape than that one single innocent person should be convicted, and that if a doubt be enter tained, the prisoner should receive the benefit of that doubt ; but we confess that in this case we cannot agree with the jury in the conclusion at which they have arrived. A duty of vast importance devolved upon them—the interest of society demanded at their hands a verdict which would protect the public against the repetition of such recklessness and indiscretion ; and valuable lives here after may be lost—may pay the penalty of their undue leniency. We do not in the slightest degree question the motives of the jury, but persons filling such responsible esituation should not permit any feelings of pity, or idea of the consequences to the accused, to warp their judgment, or induce them to find a verdict contrary to the evidence. Our readers will not have forgotten the extraor dinary number of public demonstrations upon the commercial policy of Government which were simul taneous with the opening of the present Parliament. Nor will they fail to recollect the gradual liminution in the number of these demonstrations in proportion with the development of the diactbsion in the Lower House. The free-traders were so assured of victory that any further persistance in their assemblies and their petitions to the Legislature appeared to be nothing less than a superfluous impertinence. They recognised in the abrupt silence of their mammoth advocate, " the League," the glorious fact that their industry in peaceful agitation had not proved altogether fruitless, that those principles which had been revolving in the popular mind during so many years of apparent apathy had now acquired the requisite impetus, and were rolling with an unerring celerity towards the goal for the attainment of which they had struggled so much, spoken so much, longed so much, been reviled so much. Consequently this sudden declension of anxiety, far from originating in any sentiment of indifference about these wonderful in novations in our system as a mercantile people, arose from the feeling of satisfaction with which the inhabitants of this country per ceived all their dearest anticipations on the eve of being realised. Among the monopolists, on the con trary, public meetings become more and more un frequent, because of the hopelessness of their posi tion, and because of the ridiculous scantiness of their number& when compared with the average popu lation. All interest abandoned the town-halls, and the corporation banquet-rooms, and even Covent -garden Theatre itself, to become concen trated upon the deliberations and divisions of St. Stephen's. Hence his arisen that unexampled tran quillity " out-of-docns" during the debate cf such unprecedented changes in some of the most fun damental principles of the Constitution—a tran quillity which has been foolishly mentioned as a testimony rather of calamitous apathy than of inexpressible earnestness. It is this very tran quillity which we regard with such peculiar gratifi cation both as accordant with the great spirit of this century and as evidence of the wider spread of do mestic civilization. Though of anything but a phlegmatic or atrabilious temperament, the English multitude is proverbially loath to embroil itself in political questions vi et armi.', or by any unne cessary show of insubordination, to partake bodily in the effervescence of party squabbles or legislative cabals. JOHN BULL, though unquestionably a very uproarious and outrageous fellowiwhen " roused," is, nevertheless, extremely scrupulous of " taking up the cudgels," unless he observes either the ne cessity or advisability of such a proceeding. Precisely for these very cogent reasons did the population of this country subside from all the bustle attendant upon acclamations, and orations, and pe titions and assemblies, to that a lmost breathless . nee for which they have been remarkable during presentt e e ....,„ ts se. a ssion.

It is with the deepest regret that we have ob served the extraordinary increase that has taken place within a short time back in murderous assaults, in the unmanly and un-English practices of having re course to deadly weapons on every trifling provoca tion. Already, within this year, two of our fellow creatures have expiated, by a disgraceful death on the scaffold, the grievous offences of which the 3 bad been guilty, and by which the victims of their revengeful feelings were hurried into eternity without a moment's time for preparation for the awful change they were about to undergo. In the first of these cases, that of the man QuENNELL, he had been discharged from the situation he had pre viously held, in consequence of statements made to his brother and employer by another man in the mane THE SUN, LONDON,FTJTESDA. - Y__,,M 0:11 NI N JTr N 28, IM. ment—the Committee in both Howes ; it has pro ceeded, likewise, with similar success through the first and second reading in the Peers : this evening the " Corn Importation Bill" will be in trodUeed to the legi'lative aristocracy for its third and final reading, having pas s ed which, the signature of our beloved and gracious Sovz: .ox . will render free-trade the presiding genius of British commerce.

Should the choice of the Conclave in the election of Pope be unfavour able to the views of Spain, the Spanish Government will, it is rumoured, exercise its right of veto, and nullify the election. The Espanol contradicts a report which had been circulated in Madrid that the cholera had broken out in Andalusia.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Prince. DE La. MOSKOWA, the son of Marshal NEY, protested in the most indignant language against the too• celebrated allusion made by Duke PASQUIER to the circumstances attending the death of the " bravest of the brave." Duke PASQUIER avoided discussion or explanation by raising a technical point of order, and thus the matter ended. The scene, which was most exciting, is thus graphically described by the National— " Th e son of the victim, unable to suppress his indigna tion, excl.-dined, turning half-round towards the President, 'You have dared to talk of his degradation, Monsieur le Due ! Ah, indeed, his enemies killed l:im, but they could never degrade him!' At this burst of the heart an ir resistible impulse produced powerful and almost unani mous cheers from the assembly responsive to the pene trating accents of the Prince. M. Pasquier, at first un shaken, at length dropped his head upon his desk, and, when he raised it, his eye was dimmed, his countenance pale and- flaccid, and his attitude was that of a man listening to his sentence, the wrinkles of his face from time to time flushed with a sanguine hue. The torture he under went must have appeared to him very much lengthened, and the- evident sympathy of the Chamber with the member who inflicted the chastisement must have ren dered it still more cruel. However, M. de Castellane got up from his seat, and the Prince de la Moskowa, fixing his eyes upon him, said aloud, ' I hear some one demanding permission to speak. If there be any one in this Chamber whti wishes to become an accomplice in an infamous judgment, let him rise, and I will give him credit for a singular mark of courage I' M. de Castellane then rose, and, having made one half turn, sat down again. The Prince continued his accusation of M. Pasquier with increasing force. He recalled all that passed in 1834, when Excelmans characterised the execution of Marshal Nev as a judicial murder. This lesson ought to have made the Presi dent reflect, but it seemed to have had no effect. M. de In Moskowa hopes at least that this protest will be the last. In answer to observations made by us, M. de la Moskowa ex plained why he remained silent at the moment when M. Pasquier adduced the degradation of his father as a prece dent for that of Lecomte. The words were so unexpected, that he was struck as by a thunderbolt. and deprived of all power of speech or thought. The affectionate atten tions of his colleagues, who pressed around him, were insufficient to restore . to him his faculties of ex pressing himself. He was, in fact, crushed by this unex pected and odious provocation, which violated the most ordinary consideration for himself; and was not only a deadly outrage upon the heart of a son, but a no less insolent and violent offence against public opinion. Still M. de Castellane moved to the tribune ; but soon felt that all recollections had been revived by the speech of M. de la Moskowa. M. de Castellane bad not ascended the t. ps of the tribune before there arose cries from all sides of the Chamber of `No, no !'—' The order of the day!'— The President declared that M. de Castellane had received permission to speak, but numerous voices exclaimed, 'He shall not have it.' He, however, though pale, was intrepid enough to speak. The storm increased, and raged on every bench. He opened his mouth, but the tumult extinguislaeii his words. He made gestures, showing that he was deter mined to maintain the responsibility he had assumed in bravado. He was seen, but not heard. Nothing could be distinguished but a confused noise, such as the rep,uagenary vanits had never before given out. Amidst the rappings made with the paper knives upon the desks, the stampings of feet on the floor, and the vociferation of ' The order of the day,' three or four generals rose, and cried out in indignant terms, 'lt is infamous.' One said, 'lt is abominable 1 ' Come down from the tribune l" Enough ! enough!" Too much !' General Roguet, who was below us, could not re sist his feelings; his eyes flamed as if he were in battle; his old blood was up, and his voice, as if in the midst of con flicting armies. We more than once thought he would rush forward as if mounting to the assault, and make a breach in the dress of his colleague. This extraordinary scene lasted more than ten minutes ; all the dignity of the Chamber was lost. During this time M."Pasquier stood be hind M. de Castellane, now addressing himself to him, now appearing to be struck dumb by the tremendous explosion. He endeavoured to obtain silence, but all his authority was gone—t he Chamber would not allow any one of its Members to exhibit the scandalous attempt to show an adhesion, how ever remote, to the infamous deed of which it had been re minded. When M. de Castellane came down from the tri bune there was silence for a moment, the Peers evidently wishing to afford its President an opportunity fin- giving an explaLation. But what explanation could he give? What could he say for himself? M. Pasquier endeavoured to get out of his difficulty by making a pititut tirade agairst the vio lation of secrecy I I s et hint ponder upon the lesson he has received; and it in doing so he recalls the course of his lite, and the part he has taken -in history, be, perhaps, will feel that the time is come for him to retire and seek in soli tude, or in the leisure of private life, reflection and repent- 1~.... _ ...... sonlogne and Amien.s r . ° . l": • l .

Speaking of the scene presented by the Chamber iltn - 4ig the attempt made by M. DE CASTELLANE to obtain a hearing, it says:—" This scene was not Wit/AMU, its COUNTIES RAILWAY. grandeur. It was a homage paid to the memor) of Martshat:Br ; a revision of his sentence by acelaml- ion." The Ministerial Journal des Debate contents itself with the following observatkns:— "We Shall merely mention that explanations took place yesterday, before the Chamber t;f Peers, between the l'iince de la Moskowa and Cuar,cellor Pasquier. They referred to an incident which, it is said, took place in the secret com mittee of the Court of Peers, after the condemnation of the regicide Lecomte. The Prince de is Moakowa, yielding to a sentiment, natural and honourable in its source, but perhaps exaggerated under the circumstances, protested in moderate and suitable terms, which the Chamber listened to with favour. On his side, Duke Pasquier used the incontestible right, which the regulations gave him, of refusing to enter on a discussion foreign to the order of the day and to the legis lative deliberations of the Chamber. The explanations of the President met with universal assent." The Courrier Francais has an article on the refusal of the Government to authorise the formation of a free trade league in Paris, in imitation of the one which has been formed in Bordeaux. The Courrier considers that the . application for the authorisation ought not to have been made at all, inasmuch as al though the Ministry could not identify itself with the League by granting it authorisation, yet it the League had been once formed without authorisation, the Ministry would hardly have ventured on such a hazardous display of authority as an attempt to put it down by force, The proposition of M. DE ST. PRIEST, for the in• troduction of a uniform rate, of postage of 20 centimes, was on Thursday rejected by the Chamber of Deputies.

Shares were dull. An intense degree of interest 13 shown in the City this morning to have the result of the division in the House of Commons this evening or to-morrow morning on the MAI Coercion Bill, as there appears to be some grounds for the presumption that the lengthened debate upon it will not longer be procrasinatcd, but if so, the factious opposition must daily be of :esa effect than at the present miment. Tile Corn Bill is held to be safe among merchants and capitalists, and the royal assent being given to those vital changes in the tariff, little is cared fir amongst commercial men at the fate of the Coercion Bill, as the intention of Government in introducing it has already had almost the intended effect, by reducing the amount of crime in those districts whe-e the most horrid scenes were witnessed of late. There are accounts from Ceylon this morning, but little of importance is conveyed in them. It is said upon autho rity, that were the protective duties removed, the best lands alone would yield a remunerative profit. This is the constant theme of the protectionists in this country, not a scintilla of allowance being made for improvements that must be made under a more liberal order of things. By the aid of scientific exertions, there is no doubt that lands at home, as well as in the colonies, will be brought into pro fitable cultivation, where now there may be a temporary loss. _ The grain markets are looking up, notwithstanding the prevalence of the most magnificent weather for maturing the crops. In the last week, the sales in the markets enu- merated by Act of Parliament, the average prices paid in which regulate the duty on foreign corn released from bond, were, of wheat, 87,508 quarters ; . of barley, 7,6.0 quarters; of oats, 23,231 quarters; and of beans, 5,851 quarters. Consuls for the Account have been very steady this morn ing, at 9.5% i ; end precisely the' same values have ruled for the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities. The New Three and -a-Quarter per Cents. have been heavy, at 963. -Ex chequer-bills have been sold at the very low premium , 4 55., both for the 1,0001. and the 500/. bills. India Bonds are lower also, fetching but 20s. premium. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been sold at 49 8 4, Spanish at 24%, Mexican at 27 3 A, the Deferred at 16, the Three per Cetit. Spanish at 37 1 / x , the Dutch Two-and-a half per Cents. at 6018, and the Four per Cents. at 9218. • In the Share Market the business done to -day has not been of much importance.

ARRIVAL of the GREAT BRITAIN. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. CAPTURE OF LIATAMORAS, AND BLOCKADE OF VEIfA CRUZ, BY THE AMERICANS. (From our Liverpool Correspondent.) • - . LIVERPOOL, MoteriAT. The steam. ship Great Britain, Captain Hosken, arrived here this morning, after a rapid passage of thirteen days and a quarter from New She sailed from that city at three o'clock on the Bth, passed Sandy Honk in two hours, and arrived off the N.W. Lightship, at Liverpool , this morning, at . four o'clock. She brings forty-five passengers, all of whom were delighted with the easy and beautiful:voyage of this noble ship. Captain Hoslten, when of Liverpeol, was presented with a complimentary actirs.7, signed by all his passengers. Just' before the Gr. ie. Britain got away from New York, a special messenger arrived there with dispatches from Mr. Packeoham, at Washineten, Shortly after the Great Britain arrived,'Captein linsken started for London with these dispatches, which are said to be of an important. character. Our advices by this arrival contain accounts from Mexico down to the- Nth, •from Vera Cruz to the 20th, and from Nevi Orleans to the 31st; and the principal feature of interest which this arrival e.rferdesis that the Americans had, wiz hout resistance, invested Matamoros, and that the port of Vera Cruz was under a rigid blockade by the American squadron. The accounts by this arrival state that on the 17th ult. a large portion of General Taylor's army moved up the rtver for the purpose of crossing, General Taylor remaining at the fortification with about 300 men. As the army were seen by the Mexicans on the opposite side to leave the encamp ment and approach the ford, Arista sent a flag of truce to General Taylor, requesting an armistice for six weeks; giving as a reason for - his request, that he desired to communicate with his Government. General Taylor answered that he would give him till eight o'clock the next morning to evacuate the city of Mate mores, and would permit him to take the public property under his charge. The flag then returned. On the next day, the 18th ult., the army crossed on flats of their own construction, and the bodies of wagons caulked. - The passage was made about four miles above Fort Brown. On arriving at the city it was discovered that Arista with his forces had departed,leaving only the mounted batteries. All the mortars and such of the military apparatus as could not be moved, in their haste to escaps, were thrown into the wells. A party from the American army went out to recon noitre immediately after the entrance into Matamoras, and overtook a party of the retreating Mexicans, twenty-two of whom were made prisoners. It is understood that Arieta's head• quarters were at San FeTnado, about ninety miles distant - from Matamoras. Of the United States squadron, lately off the Rio Grande, the Cumberland flag=ship, Baritan, St. Mary's, Lawrence, and Somers had gone to Pensacola to refit. The Mexican soldiers, it is said, refused to defend Matamoras against the American army, having had no rations served out to them for five days. Commander Conner, as the report went at the seat of war, intended to take down with him, in his contem plated attack on San Juan de Ulloa, two or three line-of battle ships with the squadron he is refitting at Pensacola. According to the accounts thus received, it appears that the Mexicans are straining every nerve to carry on the war, and Paredes will probably continue to do so, till perhaps he hears of the severe defeats his troops -have suffered at the bends of the Americans, in order to sustain his administra tion. To do this, he has resorted to extraordinary measures to replenish the National treasury, by extorting front the people and the clergy. Peredee reached leis . present poiltion by inflaming the minds of the Mexicans against the United States; and as he acquired power by promising to enter into a war, for the purpos;, , of recovering the depart ment of Texas, there is no doubt that he will. do his utmost to protract it as long as he can, or until a new revolution shall break out, which places some other man in his place. - Our advices from New Orleans are to the 30th, giVee in the Commer ciai Tines. The barque Thnlens, Captain Murrell, from Vera Cruz, arrived in New Orleans on the 30th ult., with papers from the city of Mexico to the 15th, and from Vera Cruz to the 20th ult. We learn that the United States steam frigate Mississippi arrived at Vera Cruz on the 18th, with the news of the bril liant. battles of the Bth and 9th ult. The greatest care was taken to keep it from the Mexi cans, yet the fact leaked out. The port of Vera Cruz has been rigidly blockaded by the eteam frigate Mississippi and sloop of war Falmouth. The 'frigate Raritan was hourly expected to join the Mississippi and Falmouth. The Mexican Government had annulled the powers of the American Consuls, Ordes had been received from the city of Mexico, directing all Americans to leave - Vera Cruz by the 24th ult. Mr. Dimond, the American consul, was preparing to go on board one of the United States vessels of war. It was generally thought that the American vessels left in port, the barque Louisiana and the brig Helen McLeod ; would be seized by the Mex'cans. The contractor of supplies for the American squadron had been forbidden, by the Vera Cruz authorities to furnish th , m. The Thalius was boarded off the harbour of Vera Cruz by the United States sloop Falmouth, and a letter bag sent by her. The brig St. Peteraburgh sailed on the 19111 for New York. The &pat/Venn°, of the city of Mexico, of the 13th, says that the intention of the Governmentswas to send their war steamers Guadeloupe arid Montezuma to Havannah to be sold at auction. On arriving at the latter port, the steamers were to hoist the Mexican flag and tire a salute. The Mexican sailors refused to sail under these conditions, and the steamers were to leave the river Alvarado, where they had been laid up in ordinary under the British flag, and commanded by a British officer. They have since arrived at Havannab. We have been permitted to make the following extract from a letter received' &Om - a highly respectable Mexican house in this city A circular has been issued by the Government, stating that alt American Consuls cease immediately from being recognise , and ordering all American citizens to embark for the interior within eight. days. The steamer Mississippi yesterday ordered cff a vest el from the poi t. but she came in during the night—thus proving the port to be blockaded, at least to national ve.scels, a step which has generally compromised the American ves sels in the harbour, and we are very much afraid, that we shall not be allowed to dispatch the Thalens. The Government is making every effort to carry out the war with success, and has replenished the treasury by carry ing through some very strong measures. The castle of San Juan d'Ulloa and the city are in an ex cellent state 'of defence, and would require a very strong three to be succe.;sfully attacked. The Repullicano of the city of Mexico contains an article against the Government, in which it. animadverts upon the actual state of the country, attacked as it is by a strong enemy and with a prospect of a local revolution, it avers that in case of a revolution, the troops engaged in repelling the enemy would be ordered to act in support of either one party or the other, claiming a local supremacy as a proof of the discipline and manner in which the Mexican troops are trained by their officers. Jon Jose, Maria has been named as the Governor of Chi huahua in the defeat of Sonora, The Apach Indians have attacked the town of Arlo, where they killed thirty. two 11Ixicans, the Indians stealing. evervthin; :lo could lay their hands upon. Tr)e. Ap s .re uniformed in a broadcloth frcck covered with red taf and pantalocns of the same stuff with caps, and they are tit Led with. rides. The whole department is in a dreadful state of misery and consternation. Several robberies on a large scale have been lately com mitted in the city of Mexico and its neighbourhood. In speaking of the American army, a dispatAt from the Mexican commandant of the engineers at Matamoras says— "- The American :any iA not more than 4,001) strong, arid is in a state of demoralisation; that there is no union among them, without any desire thr glory ; the' its officers are good, hut then there are many of them who have come to fight against their will, If we have no local revolution, the Ame rican army will either capitulate, 6r be entirely defeated in twil:tv days." The eXportsfrom Vera Cruz in the mo:lth of April amounted :o 241,35t3 (lois., of which 195,127 &Is. AN.ps is specie. A numerous private tw-eting of Preteetionist Peers was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Earl of Eglintoun's apartments, at the Clarendon Hotel. Their Lordships were in deliberation for nearly two hours in reference to the third reading of the Corn Bill, to-morrow evening, in the House of Lg. Os. TUE HORSE -CHARMER.—D. - mbtless, our readers must have heard of the extraordinary gift said to be pos ses,ed by an Irishman named Sullivan, who exercised a power over horses that no other horse-breaker in the United Kingdom ever obtained by means of whisperinq. He is, therefore, better known in the sporting circles by the sobri quet of " the Whisperer." It may not be known that the grandson of this extraordinary man (George Church), who practises the art of horse-breaking and training in Sydney, possesses the secret of charming this noble animal which gained for his grandsire so much celebrity. We have had frequent opportunities lately of witnessing his per formances, and can confidently vouch for his skill. He will take a wild, unbroken colt, from the bush, and in twenty four hours make him so docile and obedient, without severe treatment, that the animal, at command, will lie down under him, feigning death, remain until roused from the apparent stupor in which he has been thrown, by ines• meric passes and slight manipulation (as it appears to us) on the nervous system, by a slight touch of a rattan. The animal will then iick the face of the operator, put his tongue in his mouth, and whisr.er in his ear at a signal. Church will then lie down on the broad of his back, and place the animal's fore-foot on the pit of his stomach, Aso his hind-foot in his teeth, without danger of being pressed too hard. When the horse is relieved from the stupor into which he appears to have been thrown, he resists a repetition of the operation as long as he can, until, subdued by the irresistible charm of the extraordinary man, he relapses into the mes meric state, and is then passively obedient to his will.— * Sydney Sentinel. SCUOLASTIC REFORM.—On Saturday, a preliminary meeting of about forty schoolmasters was held at the Free mmon., Tavern, for the purpose of forming a Society, or College, to impose a test of qualification upon all individuals who should hereafter enter into the scholastic profess ion. There were present, Messrs. Turrell, Parker, Butler, and Lee, of Brighton ; Hall, of the King's-road ; and Stok , s, of Ongar. Mr. Terrell, was called to the chair. After the first i r . e5 , , , ,h , t , - 1 tion was proposed and seconded, Mr. Harris, P . a a strain of bitter sarcasm. exposed the fallacies the sel:eine argu ments of the preceding speakers, and condemned Ifni:cas being utterly impracticable. He then ptrhoep ::Vial,,,, would be to the effect, that any attempt of „ p d r , o l n ie fi r s e in a g d a tax upon the intellection e young man; and to confirm t was published thirty years c b 3 en c 't f er a t i a l in . h e n (i v? e " ,:v in s an extract rom a letter . which n by a distinguished li»guist, who, eight languages, in Oiler to age, and which was d w s r e a v t ,:h or after he had acquired seven of schoolmaster, appli e d hi m. they office Exercises, and improved qualify himself tor t self to the study of.

Sic —Would you be so kind as to allow me, through the medium of your valuable paper, to make known an evil which ought long ago to have occupied the attention of the proper author. ies ? It is with respect to the Penitentiary. The patrons of your journal have no doubt read several cases of death that have occurred from time to time in the above mentioned prison, which was said to he caused from its prox imity to the river. Now let any prson tak 4an airing, as it might be styled, to Vauxhall-bridge, atici immediately oppo site this vast pig -stye their noses will be assailed with the most disgusting effluvia, evidently proceeding from one of two causes —either from dead carcases which are allowed to accumulate on the bank of the river,* or very . deficient drainage within the prison walls; in either of which cases the most malignant disorders are liable to accrue, and not less dangerous to the inhabitants of the vicinity than to the prisoners themselves. I [ l ` The sten: in the Rehalgli: Sir, your obedient servant , BON SENT. Wharf ir i e believe, arises from a to manure bourbood, oil the Lainbetl3 side of the jiver,—gD. Sun.i BANK OF AUSTRALASIA. The twelfth annual meeting of the Proprietors of the Bank of Australasia was held yesterday, at their office, 8, Austin friars, Alderman Sir George Carroll in the chair. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, The SECRETARY proceeded to read the following report:— " 1. The directors regret, that in presenting their twelfth annual report to the proprietors, they are unable t o make any satisfactory statement of their proceedings for the past year. " 2. Although the agricultural interests of the Australasian colonies, fr .m the increased prices of land and stock, hats very much improved, trade generally has been limited in ex tent; the amount of unemployed capital has still further re duced the value of money; and the profit arising from Ex change operations, hitherto productive of much advantage, has, from untoward causes in the past year, been greatly diminished. " 3 The Proprietors are aware that, during the past year, the debt owing by the Bank of Australia has been the sub ject of two most irksome and expensive trials. On the 1 first trial, the jury were discharged, from being unable to agree on a verdict. On the second trial (which was a trial at bar), the justice of our claim was completely established, -so fas as such object could be obtained by the verdict of a jury : the Court, at the same time, expressing . their opinion. that the entire sum claimed by us, had gone in reduction of the debts of the Bank of Australia; and that the conduct of 1 our superintendent, Mr. Har►, had, throughout his transac ttions with that bank, been straightforward and creditable to him. "4. The legal objection taken nn the first trial, namely, that the directors of the Bank of Australia had no power to borrow, was again urged on the second trial, and the ma jority of the 'Court agreeing in that objection, the verdict was taken in such a way, that the question might be raised on soppe d before the Privy Council. " 5. The directors, on hearing the result of the new trial, took immedi , te steps for hastening the appeal proceedings before the Privy Council; and the proprietors may be as sured that every exertion will be made to bring the matter to the earliest possible termination. The directors are con firmed in their hopes of ultimate success by the honest view taken of their case by the jury, and by the renewed opinions of the eminent counsel consulted by them in this country as to their right to recover. " 6. The directors now present, as usual, a statement of the accounts for the year ending the 13th of October, 1845 The Balance of Bad-debt Fund, on the 14th of October, 1844 £15,312 13 6 Received since, on Debts considered irre- 444 13 2 coverable The Rest, or Undivided Profit on the 14th of October, 1844, amounted to.. - 102,966 7 10 To which are now to be added the profits realised both in the colonies and itt'Lon-; don, to the 13th of October, 1845, after de fraying all expenses of management in curred 31,083 £149,807 0 7 Deduct therefrom the following payments to the proprietors, viz.:- - April dividend, 1845... £27,000 0 0 October dividll2, 1845 13,500 0 0 40,500 0 0 Leaving the sum of applicable to the payment of dividends, and to meet had debts. But when the directors look to the diminished profits .for the past year, to the further development of losses, and to the heavy additional expenditure incurred by the legal proceedings in the suit against the Bank of Australia, they feel that they are best consulting the future prosperity and standing of the corporation, by 'declaring their intention to suspend for the present the payment of dividends. " 7. The directors have come to this conclusion after much consideration, and with feelings of deep regret ; at the same time they are convinced, that under the circumstances above detailed, and more especially with reference to tl,e restric tions of the charter, the proprietors will be sat'sfied that no other course was open to them, and they may rest assured that it will be a matter of sincere congratulation to the di rectors to find, that such suspension should be of short duration.

During the past year the business of the Back, though comparatively of small amount, has been of a safe and legiti mate character, the deposits have materially increased, and the properties held in secnrity for debts have improved in value, but the field for banking, at present open in the Colo nies, not lying sufficient to afford full employment for the capital, a large portion of it has accumulated in London, which the directors feel it their duty to reserve under their own control, at immediate call, in order to enable them to take advantage of any opportunity which may occur, for the enlargement of their• operations in Australasia. .

Sin,—At Newcastle next week, if the tine weather con tinues, a large attendance may confidently be expected both of men and horses. I will en passant make a few remarks on the principal stakes, leaving the analysis of the entire meet ing until Monday next. The North Derby will bring to the post Fancy Boy, Dolo, the Brother to Sir Henry, Peri colt, Malcolm, Banana, and Sir Tatton Sykes; at present fortune favours Dolo and Sir Tatton, both in high fettle, but Fancy Boy, if recovered from his shaking at Epsom, will be my fancy. For the Northumberland Plate Glossy, Wineour, and Pagan seem most favourably weighted, and with Curio sity and Tour de Force may-be expected to manage the stale among them. The nomination for the Orange Prize and the Goodwood Cup have recently appeared; for the former forty-seven, for the latter forty-eight. For the Oran , e Prize Wolfdog, Grimston, Jericho, Sweetmeat, Lo thario, and Alarm, must be taken care of; so must Alarm, Lothario, Mendicant, Grimston, Faugh-a-Ballagh, and Woil dog for the Goodwood Cup.. I fancy Burgundy will let the ring into a secret with respect to the Goodwood Stakes, t out of 147 nominations; minus weights, it is not- the castes task in the world to select the winner. The St. Leger is now, anal will be for some time to come, to all 1 " tell very open race. The Newcastle Derby m bl a re St al will• a tale; if it. should not the Great Yo o rk f . al3Ca ,i r ‘ a , ince, a sate St. Leger arrivals is my intention to analyse the merits o th o those m p n e a r r s k o s 7 , who 0 early in the season, for the prophet'scouveni::esoce are guided in their bets by the those who take me for their VltoiNt,oinwtth)re_:; stormy waters" of d, firstly, that not the ring, I have to say one of the dozen prophets are o more correct than I C: , e s x e : c et e t r e t r ain information animare t han I meatable • condly, not one ca n ,s h , , , i , v h e en b Las surpas• - ed me in the number cept in rare instanc , , • , thirdly, but one prophet li of his s uccessful progno.;tications during the lust twelve mon ths.

CO NFL, 'ma aTION AT THE BARRACKS OF lIORFIELD, NEAR BRist;,L,—On Saturday night, at about tut o'clock, a most alarming conflagration was discovered to nave broken out in the saw mill and timber stores of the new barracks for Bristol, the distance from Bristol being upwards of two miles, and it having been there supposed that the light in the horizon, which was most clearly seen from every part of the city, was the Aurora Borealis, a considerable time elapsed before the engines arrived, 'nnd by that time the whole of the engine-homie, th.• catimaktrs' Jral v.sc quantities of timber which lay around, were completely enveloped in flames.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.--His Highness Ibra him Paella, accompanied by his attendants, arrived here last night by special train from Manchester, and immediately drove to the Adelphi Hotel, where apartments had been pre viously prepared for his reception. He was up at an early hour this morning, set out shortly after seven o'clock; and drove along the docks for the purpose of seeing the shipping on the river. He also inspected in his progress one of th e British find North American snail steam. ships, and. othe vessels. His worship the Mayor joined his Highness in his state carriage at the Princess Tier, and accompanied him to the Adelphi, whither they returned about ten o'clock to take refreshments. During the day he drove out and visited some of the leading establishments in town, and sailed for Belfast at eight r.sa. in the uew steam-sbi. Windsor. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Pontrsafouret, SuarDaY.—Yesterday. being,the anniversary - of her Majesty's accession to the throne, all the ships in• - : commission at this port dressed in colours, and the royal standard was hoisted on all the Government establiehments in honour of the occasion. At noon a royal salute was fired from the Platform Battery, and the ships in harbour and at Spithead. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Commander-in-Chief a t this pore, struck his flag onboard the Victory, 104, Captain Pasco, at sunset last evening, and shifted it to the Excellent gunnery ship, Captain Chads. Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C.D., superintendent of this dockyard, returns to his duties on Tuesday at the expiration of his extended leave. During the Gallant Admiral's absence the duties of the dockyard have been conducted by Mr. Fincham, the master shipwright, and not by the master attendant, as heretofore. Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., proceeded to Cowes yesterday in the Lightning to pay his respects to her Majesty. The Gallant Admiral returned about four o'clock, P 35., but vie regret to say, very unwell, and- went- to bed immediately after arriving at the Admiralty House. The Gallant Admi ral has been considerably fatigued of late in his constant attendance upon the illustrious visitors who have recently arrived at this port. The Fly, 18, Captain F. P. Blackwood, arrived a t Spit ; head, on - Friday evening, from the East India station, where she has been engaged during the greater part of the last four years and upwards in surveying the Torres Straits and the coasts of the islands in that quarter. She left Sydney on the 19th of December last, touched at Swan River on the 19th of February • Adelaide on the 22d of January ; the Cape, April 15, an d St. Helena, the 30th.. She has brought no news, the Prince of Wales, Indiaman (which sailed with her trom the Cape) having arrived upwards of a week since and landed her mails. The Fly fell in with the squadron of evolution, sixty miles west by north of Scily. She brought li-tier-bags from the following vessels on the Cape station —The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Sear-Admiral Dacres, Commander-in Chief ; the Hingdove, 16, Commander Sir W. Hoste, Bart. ; the Mutine, 12, Commander Craw ford ; and the Thunderbolt steamer, Commander Boyle, having., been in commission since November, 1841, she mil now be paid Off, andsailed this evening for Plymouth for that purpose. The Kamschatka Russian war-steamer, Captain Fun chaand, which arrived at Southampton on Sunday last from the Mediterranean, left last night for Cronstadt and Sr- Petersburgh. • Whilst at Southampton the caters and crew made purchases among the outfitters and others to the amount of nearly 2,000/., much to the. benefit and eutis faction of the shopkeepers. She paid a visit to the seine place in September last to coal and re. store, also her officers and crew spent large sums of Morley stn ;z the inhabitants. She is a most formidable war steamer, and appears to combine all the fighting and sea-worthy qualities of one. She mounts 12 long 32-pounders on the maindeck, and then where she is pierced for 16, the dismounted lout 'she stiArs fit her hold, two iron 10-inch, and two brasS 8-itich calib re g ales on traversing'circles ein the upper deck, besidee Weis, guns, and field-pieces. - She is of 2,300 tons, and is propelled b y two engines of 306-horse power each. Her draught of water, when fully equipped for a long voyage, is 1? feet inches only. Sne has only one funnel, is a- f u ll-rigged sh i p , and her complement 290. She was built id Am erica in 1841, and has been at the service of the Empress of Russia during her late visit to hely. She is consequen tl y most superbly fitted up, and would doubtless give a ve r y g oo 4 account of any other war steamer in the world wi th which she came in hostile collision. She is undoubtedly th e largest and heaviest mounted steamer afloat. The Entlyrnion, 44, Captain Lambert, was at Bar badoee, en route for St. Vincent's, on the 12th ult. The Daring, 12,.

The Black Eagle. steam-vessel, Maf.ter,Commiin6r S. B. Cook, returned from Woolwich to Ostend on Wediiesda.!-, having landed her Majesty the Queen Dowager at that port. The Father Mattiew, hired freight ship, embarked thir teen mei; of the Royal Artillery, under the charge of Cam Ormsby, at the Royal Arsenal this morning, for a passage t° Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Bull Dog stearri- vessel will proceed to Chatham early next week, to be made ready for sea. The Adventure transport-ship is loading at Woolwich for D,:vonport. The Trident steam-vessel is expected to be commissioned immediately. Lieut.-Colonel Vaughan Arbuckle, of the Royal Artillery, returned to England in the Forth mail steam-packet. The Fairy and Nymph st, am-packets proceeded this morn ing from the Woolwich company's station to the terminus of the Southampton Railway at Vauxhall, to bring the men of the Woolwich division lately serving in Ireland under Lieut.- Colonel Burton to head-quarters. THE SIIIIIEVALTY.—We understaed that a requiej lion, signed by upwards of 500 of the most respectable in ens be.s of the Livery, has been presented to Rsbert Kennard, Esq., of Upper Thames-street, the wealthy iron; merchant, requestieg him to allow himself to be placed i. nomination for the office of Sheriff for the ensuing year and that Mr. Kennard has signified his consent. u FRIEND TO TEE POOR.—The gentleman who has been instrumental in exposing the harsh and cruel conduct exercised towards the agricultural labourers by their Ines: tern, in Wilts, Hants, and other counties, having given grea t offence to some who are guilty of what he charged Ahem_ with, they therefore sought every means to be revenged the reporter.

His income being very limited, and had ing a motherless family of six children, he is unable to (Ill; charge the debt. We trust the generous and feeling pu blic will not suffer one with so noble a spirit, and who has d on much good to the poor and oppressed, to remain long lees"' cerated for so comparatively small a sum.--(From a Corres pondent.) THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF TRADV.--- The Society of Guardians fur the Protection of Trade cele brated their anniversary festival in the usual manner on Saturday, at the Loudon Tavern, Bishopsgate-street.
