On Thursday this city and neighbourhood were visited by an appalling thunder storm. Partial showers had fallen early in the day, but about noon a mass of clouds,heavy and black, was o b serv id . appro ac hi ng the city, rom S.W., and the portentous vapour apparently gathered density as it sailed along. Vivid flashes of lightning sprung from it in rapid succession, and one of the peals of thunder was terrific. A herald flash rent the cloud, and the peal which followed it instantaneously was so profound—near—horrible—that the stoutest spirit cowered during its prolonged roar. The very houses vibrated with the shock of the warring elements, while a violent and heavy storm of hale that also raged, increased the confused sounds pervading the atmosphere. We regret being obliged to add that the storm did not pass over us harmlessly. The first toll-house•on the Stroud road was struck by the lightning, and considerably damaged. One moment it was safely sheltering a number of per sons who had sought refuge there from the violence of the storm, and the next the front of the house was burst, the upper and lower windows being almost converted• into one, all the windows were blown out and shivered to atoms ; the crockery on the shelves was broken, the window shutters twisted off the hinges and thrown into the field on the opposite side, while the inmates were dashed about the floor. Confused, sense and sight reeling amidst the arrowy, resistless fire of heaven, none of them are capable of giving an intelligible account of the catastrophe. As far as we can learn, it would appear that immediately after the thunder crashed, the gable of the house was dashed in, the mate rials falling in all directions. Three children belonging to Mr. Power, and a servant, who were standing near the stairs, escaped unhurt. The toll-keeper, Paish, and his wife were also untouched, while their baby, only fourteen days old, which was in an old woman's lap, was thrown'out of it, and fell on the floor, but was not hurt. One woman, however, had her clothes set on fire ; before the flames could be extinguished she was burnt very badly ; another woman was burnt about the legs, and a third was also hurt. A boy was also burnt, and is now deaf from the shock, and another boy has lost his hearing. But the severest injury was sustained by a man named George Johnson. At the time the house was struck he was leaning against the door ; his profile was actually burnt on the wood by the lightning. The outline of the head and face is quite perfect, the space within it being charred. Johnson sustained a cut under his eye, his smock-frock was burnt off his back, and he was completely paralysed by the shock. The sufferers were immediately conveyed to the Glocester General In firmary, where their injuries were attended to, and they are all gradually recovering. The lightning apparently was a t h t t e r ahse, eed b s tripped off the bark as it descFnde and it is supposed that the stream of the fluid divided, o t ua y nd an it el m tree 50 feet high, which overhangs one p ortion toll house, while , tree, and was then lost in the earth. Mr. John Knowl es , of Wotton, was also struck down by the e l ec t r i c fl u id , the being oth ers attracted hive red by the the root lam of p a a n t adjoining e ining t near Barnwood Turnpike. He was walking along the road, and it was attracted by a shovel and pick axe, which he was carrying on his shoulder ; the handle of the latter was shattered, Mr. Knowles was prostrated in the road, his clothes shivered into ribbons, and besides being severely burnt in the back, his legs were paralysed; he is, however, recovering.

Id. The report recommended that the committee be empowered to lay out 600/. in the purchase of an eligible plot of ground within five miles of the metropolis, on which it was proposed to com mence the institution by the erection of six houses, to be in creased as their funds permitted. They also recommended the first stone should be laid by Luke James Hansard, Esq. —(Loud cheers.) The report was adopted. The name of the institution was changed to that of the Printers' Provident Retreat, the officers of the institutiou were re-elected, and, thanks were given the chairman. GLASS CUTTERS' A NNIVE R SAR Y.—Yesterday, this ingenious body of workmen formed in procession, and paraded the streets of the metropolis, attended by two military bands of music, and afterwards sat down to an excellent dinner, at the Eyre Arms Tavern. Some years ago their procession consisted of from 500 to 600, but yesterday exhibited a woful falling off in their numbers. DECREASE OF CRIME IN HAMPSHIRE.—There have not been so few prisoners for trial in the county gaol in this city for the last fifteen years as at the present moment. Three only are waiting to be tried at the sessions holden, Monday, 6th July; thirty-five males and six females at tb.e assizes commencing Monday, the 13th of Jaly ; but four of those prisoners are committed for crimes of serious mag nitude. On the civil side so few cases are entered up to this date that many of the long-robe gentlemen must submit to go briefiess. Debtors' sides : There are only four on the master's and five on the country or poor sides. CURIOUS Morro.—The pavement of the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore, at Florence, says a correspondent of The Builder, is curious, and represents the signs of the Zodiac, with the sun in the centre, surrounded by the fol lowing strange line, which can be read either way "En giro torte sol ciclos et rotor igne."

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS, (An Essay for 1846.) "Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquir'd. Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." 3. WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of haman disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the liy e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 5f our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. writ ings,uredTh e a a n u d t t h h o e r's a j v us ow ti a fi l c o a f ti t o h n eir fo i r nt t egr his eeitsyomif purpose, eulogy of u o s f t h b is e o m wa s tbooyctshebirroapeehruedsailn—vholivseachiesreledgitietiindqautealsitflucadytioannsd pursuit.giiiar antee that the To be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; CaryAlin) , 147, direct from t the e H A a u n t n h a s y r: 2613; Arundel-street, u x f n o d r d e and in the Ever.- be ad vlsed personally on these matters daily till Three, ngs from Seven till Nine. - s s tr tr e e e e t t ; Strand, Mann who 39 Crhay FOURTEENTH EDITION of the SILENT FRIEND on Human Frailty, with Coloured Engravings.

[ADVERTISEMENT.—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S GREAM—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the bo tanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North Ame rican Indians, would be a sufficient answer. Ross and Sons, 119, and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the ani mals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the changes are their obtaining a spurious article. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than useless.

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S SPEECH. (From the Times.) The event of last night, we venture to predict, will occupy no ordinary place in political history. It was a resignation of power in the moment of a great success, and with other circumstances pre-eminently calculated of themseves to win favour and support to the Government. The Minister who had gradually, and at last thoroughly and unreservedly, identified himself with a popular cause, had just procured for it that final triumph which nothing but such an union of forces could have effected. He had drawn towards himself no small portion of that homage and gratitude which the people had destined, and which he also cheerfully conceded, to other names. With one great exception, too near home to be forgotten—with the exception of Ireland—the palms of peace and the laurels of war, commercial prosperity and unexampled victories, a series of good-fortunes beyond the power of man to secure or even to expect, had given a five years' Government the substance of twenty. Having thus accomplished much and lived long in a short time, the Alinis ter suddenly retires. In a moment his star disappears. How is this ? By-what mysterious law does this country choose its rulers which subjects them to so great an injustice and itself to so great a hurt ? Here, then, is the question which imparts a peculiar interest to the present re signation as explained last night by Sir Robert Peel. The ' Minister resigns not merely because he is beaten on one partieular question, important as it is, but because he has not the general confidence of a ma jority in Parliament. Perhaps, seeing that no-confidence motions are the threat of the session and the gossip of the day, this may seem no very striking account of the matter. A no-confidence vote, to be sure, is the natural death of a Premier. He goes on till his party grows less and less, and and they who dislike or distrust him become a majority. His work is then done, and he is strangled with a resolution declaratory of his unfitness for the post. True. But never, ' we say without h e sts a si sn , wwa tlesie so pure, eo simple, so unembarrassed au example of a no-confidence vote. We have usually seen Ministers slowly s inking under incompetency and failure. Pledges unredeemed, measures abortive or unsuccessful, an exhausted treasury, reverses in war, new and oppressive imposts, general un popularity, are the calamities which one by one diminish the number of Parliamentary supporters. The catastrophe comes with many warnings. Old age is not more gradual . than the decline and fall of a Ministry. It becomes in capable, and ceases to do before it ceases to be. Now, Sir Robert last night was able to proclaim a series of suc cesses which, be they his or any other man's, or only dame Fortune's, yet impart at least a lustre to his period, continually brightening to its very close. Unquestionably with those whose favour is called popularity, he is more popular just now than he has ever been. Notwithstanding all this he falls. Nothing whatever destroys or impairs his power but this want of confidence. He could carry some measures, and he has the entire and almost servile confidence of some men • but he has not a party—that is, a sufficient one. He made it, and he has destroyed it. There are not 340 men in the House who will go along with Sir R. Peel, and take him for their guide. As he explains himself, "It is not for the public interest that a Government should res main in power unable to give practical effect to the measures which they consider necessary for the public welfare." The Premier may sometimes have occasion to ask a certain dic tatorial power—viz., to see that no harm comes to the com monwealth; and, without going to extreme cases, he is always making demands upon the faith and goodwill pf the Legislature. For such purposes the Government must enjoy absolute confidence. The want of this general confidence, therefore, is fatal ; such is the fatality under which Sir Robert has fallen. He is able to show many special claims to confidence. Grant them all. They only demonstrate in this instance the general deficiency. Sir Robert is trusted by many for many purposes, but not by a majority generally. We say not this in order to re-open any personal or moral inquiries. We only call attention to a most'conspicuous incident in our constitutional history. No future De Lolme will consider his work complete without a chapter on this crisis. He may have his own views of it. He may laboriously mete out the honours and dishonours of the fatal rupture; or he may forbear entirely from the moral question; but he will certainly dwell at some length on the fate of a man who rose to power by forming a party, and fell from power by destroying it, and who, at the moment when his own opinions had become emancipated, found him self entangled and finally overthrown by the obstinacy of that party which he himself had made. Already, if we mistake not, a fact so remarkable is impressing some useful lessons. Are we to be always governed by parties ? Hitherto we have been taught that an honest man must also be a party man. They who stood apart were "wavering," "crotchetty," and "unpractical." We will not relate how long, how often, and how much we have suffered for venturing to think that Sir Robert might be wrong, and that his party did not comprehend all truth ; nor will we now enumerate the points on which we have had the misfortune to differ from him. It is enough to say that it was always Bet as so much treason to the sacred cause cs Conservatism. " The party" could tolerate no such sin gularity of opinion. " The party," as a whole, was right, and, right' or wrong, it was at least expedient to maintain the theory of infallibility. Thus did the creed of Conservat ism grow into sanctity, and " the party" rise to power. Now behold a strange reverse. The statesman eschews the errors of his creed. .His " party" remains unconverted. He attains the utmost point of his ambition; he succeeds beyond his hopes. There is one onlLd!'aivback which countervails Ilia enst v itinftsiss-A t iVitrktikir-agfiirri l i to t t l i s 3 e" ground. The country was to be saved by the Conservative party. If Sir Robert Peel is right in his great mea sure, as we believe him to be, by that same party the country is now in the way to be ruined. The statesman and the party are now both doing what they think to be right. The misfortune is that the head is grown wiser than the tail. The tail, if it has no wisdom, has at least a sting, and the fable of the scorpion is realised in the downfal of Sir Robert through the suicidal attacks of his indignant party. All must feel what an im mense quantity both of recantation and of obstinacy would have been saved if people had only been allowed to have an opinion of their own ten or even five years since. How long was it urged as a solemn obligation on all devout Conserva tives to abhor the League, and anathematise Cobden? Po pular movements of all kinds were denounced as injurious to good order. Good men were positively deterred from ex pressing the least concurrence with the views of the Covent garden orators. Nay, it was said that Royalty itself was instructed to deprive of her countenance the very locality of that abomination. How changed the scene Now from the lips of the Premier, we are t o ld that the name of Richard Cobden is associated with one of the greatest measures of social reform known to modern times. If such is the fallibility of party, surely it is time to check its sway. (From the Chronicle.) The public will gladly recognise, in Sir Robert Peel's speech of last night, an earnest of the fulfilment of those anticipations which we yesterday expressed, relative to the Right Hon. Baronet's course as a leader of the Parliamentary Opposition. He gives the country to understand, in lan guage of unusual force and explicitness, and which derives peculiar emphasis from his own evident impression of the " solemnity" of the occasion, that that superiority to personal and party considerations which has so signally characterised the closing portion of his official career will continue to manifest itself in his ex-official acts and declarations. The retiring Premier professes, it will' be seen, in the strongest terms, a steady and unwavering fidelity to those great prin ciples of commercial and Irish policy, of which a five years experience of Ministerial responsibility has irresistibly taught him to feel the truth, and appreciate the importance. He will heartily co-operate with his successors in every measure tending to the relaxation or abolition of the yet re maining restrictions on trade and industry, and to the more complete realisation of that commercial and in dustrial enfranchisement which .events have enabled him so happily to commence. And he will likewise assist, to the utmost of his personal ability and Parliamentary in fluence, the efforts of a Liberal Administration to subdue that hitherto undiminished difficulty which he has made eo many well-intended but unavailing attempts to reduce. Every earnest and well-considered endeavour, either to improve the social condition of the Irish people, by ameliorating the rela tions of the peasantry and farmers to the landed proprietary class—or to heal their political and religious discontents, by a system of government, legislative and executive, based on the principle and conceived in the spirit of complete political and religious equality between Catholic and Protestant, and between Irishmen and Englishmen—will receive Sir Robert Peel's disinterested and zealous support. Of his opposition, as of his successors' administration, the programme will be free-trade and justic e t o Ireland. We feel the liveliest satis faction in recording declarations so creditable to Sir Robert Peel individually, and so favourable to the best hopes of the country. In tendering these pledges of fidelity to the respon sibilities of Opposition—as likewise in so handsomely acquit ting himself of the long-neglected debt of justice to - Mr. Cob den—theilate Premier has truly and wisely interpreted the de mands of public opinion and feeling.. After all that had hap pened, the country felt itself entitled to expect some definite intimation as to the relations in which Sir Robert Peel con ceived himself to stand to his official successors, and to public interests as administered by them; and we rejoice that the disclosures of last night are so well calculated to remove those anxieties which had been more or less entertained by many of the warmest admirers of his recent policy. As it is impossible to entertain a doubt but that pledges given with so emphatic a distinctness, and under circumstances implying the utmost deliberateness of choice, will be honourably re deemed, not merely in the letter, but in the spirit, we gladly accept the guarantee now given, that a Liberal Administra tion, charged with the onerous trust of completing the eman cipation of industry, and re-commencing the pacification and contentment of Ireland, will encounter no other difficulties than those necessarily incident to the work itself. It is honourable to Sir Robert Peel—as it must be in the highest degree gratifying to the public—that he has manifested this solicitudes to convince his Parliamen tary opponents, that he intends to deal by them as they have uniformly dealt by him—and that the intrinsic difficulties of the task which now awaits them will not be needlessly aggravated by unfair or factious courses on the part of a statesman whose real convictions of public policy and duty are, in the main, coincident with their own. To "ourselves, in particular, it is matter of agreeable reflection, that the readiness which we have evinced, throughout the closing passages of Sir Robert Peel's recent official career, to put the most favourable construction in our power on a cha racter whose indications are so frequently equivocal or con tradictory, is likely to be justified by the event. It is plea sant to receive this early and authentic assurance, that the moral aspects of that new epoch of the late Premier's life which is to explain or redeem everything, will be such as to place him finally right with his country. We sincerely trust that it will always be in our power to speak of the Free trade Minister of 1846 as one would wish to speak of a states man who, whatever his former miadoings, has been the in strument of a vast and enduring public good, and that the recollection of that substantial debt of gratitude which he has undoubtedly imposed on us by his services to our national commerce and industry, may never be painfully qualified by yet fresher reminiscences of offences against political mo rality. (From the Herald.) The resignation of the Peel Ministry and the acceptance of that resignation by the Queen were last night announced in the House of Lords by the Duke of Wellington, and in the House of Commons by Sir Robert Peel. It was also stated by the Noble Duke and by the Right Hon. Baronet that the Queen, acting, of course, as before, under Sir Robert Peel's advise, had commanded a Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) to form an administration. So far all is plain enough; but what if Lord ! John Russell should be driven to declare in June or July—as he was driven to declare in De cember—that he cannot form an Administration possessing the elements of stability? The advanced age of the Duke of Wellington—now in his seventy-eighth years—precludes the possibility that his Grace an again engage in the toils of PUBLICATIONS.

What, then, if Lord John Russell shall be compelled to renounce the attempt to form an Administration upon those stringent conditions upon which only, as Sir Robert Peel explained last night, a Ministry can be properly formed, or can properly ex ist—namely, the support of a powerful party, pre , pared to support the Ministry upon all important questions? Sir* Robert Peel has promised to support the new Russell Ministry in prosecuting his own free trade policy, and has hinted a disposition to support that Ministry in its Romanist measures for Ireland. But Sir R. Peel has no personal party—he is now but one man, and if, as he says, he cannot repossess office, he must count upon remaining but one man, and that one one of the smallest men in the empire. He will not bring with him to support a Russell Ministry any of the wretched 112—the larger and less culpable division of whom followed him merely in order to keep out a Russell Ministry. Still less can he hand over to his free-trade and pro-Romanist successor the noble Coun try party, numbering 250. It is, therefore, not at all im possible, though we admit it to be unlikely, that Lord John Russell may decline to execute the commission imposed upon him. His Lordship's declining it, however, or his attempt ing to execute it, cannot change the relative strength of parties in Parliament and through the country. The Coun try party of 250—sure to be greatly augmented by a general election—will remain ; the 112, too, will remain (no longer urged by the scourge of an official "whipper-in") to follow their original bias ; and Lord John must prepare to confront a great majority in the House of Com mons, probably a greater majority in the House of Lords. What, then, are Lord John Russell's prospects ? He, Whig as he is, may carry on the Government upon the principles of the " Country party," but he can carry on the Government upon no other principles. As far as the "Coun try party" is concerned Lord John will have no difficulty in this mcpeot. They have already " generottsl . y" supported Sir Robert Peel (the world " generousTY" is his own, and it is well chosen) for five years, while he laiished upon the opponents of their principles whatever of public patronage he did not find it necessary to give to his own relations and personal dependents. Lord John Russell may, therefore, be quite at ease upon this head. The Country party will not quarrel about patronage; but let Lord John bethink him in time of the danger of touchin the British and Protestant principles of this great. natio 1 1 . Let him carry on the Go vernment of the country upon the principles of " the Coun try party," and he may remain Minister as long as it shall please him; but if not—Sir Robert Peel is his example. The present is not the time to discuss the reasoning of Sir Ro bert Peel's farewell speech, or to express our opinion of the good or bad taste of his eulogium upon Mr. Richard Cobden, whose whole merit, even as we can extract it from the panegyric of the Conservative ! Premier, is a successful imitation of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's seditious conspiracy (lately prosecuted by the same Premier) as it exists in Ire land. The present is not, we say, the time for such cri . _ • ticisms, but ire think that whoever reads Sir Robert Peel's speech of last night, must with us rejoice in knowing that he is never after the present week to open his lips as' a Minister of the Crown. His offence is an offence not merely against party but against morals, and the interests of mo rality would be compromised should it be visited with any less penalty than a perpetual disqualification. As to Lord John Russell's prospects, we have already hinted at them ; but we must add that he takes office with some advantage as the successor of him who pronounced the Cobden toadying speech, to which we must refer. To read such disgusting things is really enough to make one quarrel with his species, at least to blush for a party and a country so long cheated as our country and party have been. Lord Pal merston spoke his mind rather freely, and we honour his Lordship for it • and Mr. Joseph Hume put his seal upon Sir Robert Peel's character by eulogising it. There was no going beyond that. (From the Post.) It is, we think, not likely that those who sympathise with our views of public men, or public affairs, will find anything satisfactory in the speech of Sir Robert Peel of yesterday evening, beyond the announcement that he ceases to be Mi nister. That, indeed, is a satisfactory statement. No man, we believe, loves power more than he does, and the loss of it is no doubt to him a punishment. That punishment he most richly deserves. The most remarkable passage of this dis honest politician's statement is that in which he acknow ledges that the merit (?) of the corn-law repeal measure rests with Mr. Richard Cobden. This had been frequently said before in different terms. We ourselves, no further off than yesterday morning, adverted to the fact that Cobden it was who had frightened Sir Robert Peel into the adoption of the corn-law repeal measure. The novelty is in such a man as Peel acknowledging that to be true which really is true. This, probably, would not have happened, but for the com plimentary speech of Cobden regarding Peel on Thursday night. To the tradesmanlike mind of Peel it had probably oc curred that some payment was due for this, and before he abso lutely ceased to be Minister he thought it decent to settle the baiance of his account with his friend and ally Cobden. It is ruethat not very long ago he described the said Richard C 11A t en to the House of Commons as something not ex tremriv . 1 1 ersen tom an assassin, but in these days such " changes of opinion ' are so common as to have ceased to excite any violent emotion or surprise. As might have been expected, the coolest impudence, and the extremest folly of the speech of the Right Hon. Betrayer of his party are to be found in his allusions to free trade. His jargon about fo reignth i n h a l t h m e n s buying hst ifonrtehi foreign dearestmarke markets, markets,hihis r remarks sw mighte buy i o n ,. e t i h g e n c n h a e t a i p o e n s s t , boughtis not h nng thebe better dearest n t fo a r j e u ign ggle markets, ofw rather than have some reason in them. A.it is, such remarks are once foolish and deceptive.. Foreign nations pay dearer to their own producers than they need pay to the producers of other nations. This is merely a contribution from the owners of capital in foreign nations to the support of the industry of their own people. It is a very proper price for the owners of capital to pay for the privileges they enjoy—for the safety of their possessions, and for the ease and tranquil lity of which they are in the enjoyment, while others labour for them. It is the policy of such men as Sir Robert Peel to secure every advantage they can for the owners of capital, while the producers et their own country are to be subjected to every disadvantage, and more especially to that of com petition with foreign producers, whose taxation is compara tively light, and who do not live in the neighbourhood of enormously rich people, that insult poverty by their ostenta tious contempt of its helplessness. We find in the speech of Sir Robert Peel very little—we may almost say nothing— worthy of an eminent statesman. It appears to us to be rather the farewell address of a cold-hearted, in sincere, and baffled intriguer. We may, perhaps, err, and judge with less charity than we ought, but we certainly cannot but hold the opinion that one of the most disappointed men this morning in the Queen's do minions is Sir Robert Peel, and, for the sake of public jus tice, we are glad that he is a disappointed, and a punished, man. We believe that he calculated on something very different; we are well pleased that his calculation has been erroneous. It is for the honour of England that he should be dishonoured. Waiving the question of the national effects of his policy, we hold that his cold deceit—his treachery to those who trusted him—is far too palpable to be denied by any honest and observing man ; and this offence, now com mitted for the second time, deserves every public reproach and public disgrace that can befal him. His position in history, if he hold any position at all, ought, in our judg ment, to be among the infamous. If yesterday evening he had made anything like a fitting apology, we might have thought it our duty to refrain from language so harsh as this; but as it is, we see no reason why we should not say as we think, that the conduct of Sir Robert Peel is the greatest disgrace to England which has occurred in the nine teenth century.

The first day of the Thames Regatta, like the first day of every other meeting which is to be succeeded by two others, is but the prelude to something greater. There were, however, no less than ten races upon the list yesterday, and of these were six which, from the nature of the selection, could not fail of being attractive. The pair oar race, by gentlemen amateurs, was the first of these, and as members of the Universities and London clubs were en gaged in the contests, the interest created was proportion ately great. To this was added, as a great feature, the con test with ten picked scullers, for 501., and the other races which are below detailed. The racing commenced at half-put three, and was con tinued during the afternoon and evening with the etmtt regularity and precision. AMATEUR PAIR-OAR MATCH FOR TWO PRESZNTATION SILVER CUPS.

Almost immediately after this, the Messrs Fellows rowed themselves right into the bight on the Surrey shore, and as a consequence were doomed to the unpleasantness of a stern chase. Yellow took it up at the upper part of Finch's grounds, and kept it throughout, and won by three ar four lengths. WATERMEN BM:MUMS' MATCH, FOR 50 GUINEAS.

The two first were unable to continue the pace, and Missam went ahead of the whole party. Leach then challenged hie. Cooke was at this time closely pressed by M'Kinney, and the rowing on all sides, excepting Phelps's, was of the most spirited character. Cooke went gradually and beautifully in advance, and then a severe, and, if possible, a more desperate struggle occurred between Leach, Missam, and APlCinnev, for the second position, and after rowing half a mile so closely that a blanket would have covered the three at any part of the distance, Leach was successful by a length.

Yellow took the lead a little above Springate's, light blue being close upon them, and they were stroke and stroke for some distance, making a most beautiful race. At the Crab Tree purple made up to yellow, and kept them at very smart work. Light blue also neared the two leading boats, and the whole formed a very pretty picture. Won by two lengths.

There is a singdar combination of the circumstances which ennoble a political fall, in the event which Sir Robert Peel last night announced to the House of Commons. The sacri fice of life or power for a great end ; that sacrifice made, more. over, in the plenitude of life and power, and made with strong foresight and firm will ;—all these ennoble. They leave no room for party, none for contempt. They silence hatred, and redeem many faults. We do not say that Sir Robert Peel's political character has been perfect, or that consistency and an undeviating course is not a most desirable and lofty virtue. But as Liberals, we have little right to dwell upon and exag gerate the one defect, by which, besides, we profit, whilst we know, toe, that this one fault would be damnatory, were it aim no e, t r b e y de w em isd ed om b , ybeyvidboenidtnlyesih,igbhy epa and thy for popular disinterested rights and wants, and by that knowledge, which alone is power, and can fulfil its convictions. The expression of opi nion, the development of principle, with which Sir Robert Peel accompanied the announcement of his resignation, evince that he has no reason to regret the course which he has taken. He evidently is not inclined to crave pardon for his liberal leanings; to excuse the boldness of his financial and economical innovations; or to lure back to his standard those who have deserted him, by whispering that his aberration has been but temporary. On the contrary, Sir Robert glories, like the dying hero, in his prowess. He has caught the wide applause, the far and distant sounds of universal approbation, which have hailed his measures. He has found such applause and such support, more inspiriting than the cheers of mere Parliamentary partizans. And the Mi. nister :though uttering the words of resignation, addresses himself' to the country as well as to the House, with the tone, not of a dismissed servant, but of a very authoritative though parting friend.

SCARCITY OY AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS.--The cutting of the grass has, in many instances, been impeded by the difiSculty of obtaining mowers. Although the price of labour has been advanced, still men could not be obtained. We have heard of a case where mowers have refused ss. 6d. per acre for cutting grass, which is a great in crease of wages over those paid at other seasons.—.Ayleabury News. THE LATE MR. HAYDON. To THE EDITOR 07 THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir, —The lamentable death of the late B. R. Haydon, and the painful embarrassments in which the family are placed, seem to have awakened deep sympathy in the public mind, and a desire to manifest the same in any way that would be agreeable to the feelingsof the family, and a means of extri cating them from their present difficulties. I would suggest as a means of effecting this object, that the gratuitous use of one of the picture galleries be sought (perhaps the Royal Academy would embrace the opportunity of acting upon the principle of " forget and forgive," by granting the use of their rooms at the close of the season), and the owners of the works of the late eminent artist be solicited for the loan of the same for a public exhibition, the proceeds to be for the benefit of the widow and family. Some such plan, I think, would be well supported. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, Oxford-street, June 29, 1846. J. H. B. HAIL STORM.—On Thursday afternoon the country between Mailing and Rochester was visited by a severe thunder storm, during which there was a heavy fall of hail, which did considerable damage to the crops and vegetation generally in the neighbourhood ; in many instances strip :ping the trees of their leaves ; the corn, hops, and fruit plantations having all received damage, more or less, from this awful visitation. • RETTZWB or TII2 WORK.
