LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1837. The intelligence from Manchester and Liverpool this morning is very favourable. It is expected that the crisis is now over, and that matters will continue to improve. Sir ANDREW AGNEW ; S Sabbath Bill was read a second time last night in the House of Commons. No doubt it would have been better to have rejected such a Bill at once; but Members are not always allowed to follow their own judgment—they must consult at times the whims and caprices of some of their constituents, and make a show at least of supporting a Bill which they know will never be carried, or if carried, will never be practicable. It is annoying, certainly, to Members to be dragged forward session after session to support such an absurdity against their will ; but they have a remedy: in order to relieve their consciences, and get rid of these vain attempts to accomplish im possibilities, they ought at the next election to start a new candidate for Wigtonshire, raise a fund for de fraying the expenses, and retain Mr. HOLIiIES spe cially for the occasion. They would to a certainty succeed, and we hardly think any other county or town in the United Kingdom, would court the honour cf having Sir ANDREW for their representative. The Honourable Baronet, no doubt, is quite sincere ; but, like most weak-minded persons, he can see objects only in one light. The observance of the Sabbath is rigidly strict in Scotland, and he thinks all that is wanting to make it equally so in England, is an Act of the Le gislature ; but he forgets that the long-established habits and customs of the people are essentially diffe rent. The people of Scotland observe the whole of that day religiously from a sense of duty, and if every law on the subject were abrogated, would continue to observe it. The people of England think and act differently. After performing their religious duties, which they do in a most exemplary manner, they take delight afterwards in decent and orderly recreation ; and this, we are confident, no law can make 'them forego. Any attempt to enforce the provisiort of such a Bill as that before the House, would have an effect directly the reverse of that for w hi c h it i s intended. Mr. IloruucK ably exposed the tyrannical and vexatious character of this hypocritical measure last night. He showed, that while it pressed slightly upon the rich, it bore down with most remorseless severity on the poor. " They were now," said the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, " discussing a proposition for shutting out the citizens from the enjoyment of fresh air on the Sunday. Would Sir ANDREW AGNEW go a little further ? Would he forbid his servant to brush his c( at, to make up his bed-room, or to boil potatoes, so as to give some relish of warmth to his otherwise cold dinner ? Would he prevent his servant from lighting his fire on a Sunday evening, when the thermometer was low ? No, no. Ile would legislate against the poor, worn-out student, who laboured six days in the week in his humble lodging ; he would debar him from the enjoyment, at the same time, of pure air and a warm dinner. No more warm dinners, said the Hon. Member for Wigton ; because we are grown pious, no more cakes and ale. Oh, but there was a re servation for travellers ; but this coula not serve the poor, who must starve, because the Hon. Baronet was pious." This is the jnstest exposition of the Sunday tribulation measure we have yet met with.. It is literally a Bill of Pains and Penalties against the poor Inan. It punU es him for the defects of his pocket. It broadly tells him, " You ate poor ; there ;fore you must perforce be a violator of the LoaD's Day, and being such, von must be looked sharply after." Now is not poverty in itself a sufficient evil, but it must be rendered a still greater curse, by having the brand of irreligion stamped upon it ? Does no good, feeling heart beat beneath the freize jacket ? Is it only to be found underneath the well-padded coat ? Is all piety monopolised by wealth, and all infidelity by poverty ? Does vice belong exclusively to the tea gardens, and virtue to the club-room ? Is CROCK-. FORD'S the resort of Sunday Saints, and the village ale-house of Sunday sinners ? Shame on you, Sir ANDREW, for legislating on the principle of such un generous—such absurd distinctions ; and deeper shame on the House that could sanction their truth, though but fur a night, by a majority of Forty ! When the West-end is wholly converted; when Di VES ceases to parade his servants' last new livery, and his own last new fashion in the Parks during afternoon service ; when gay, dashing crowds no longer throng to suffocation the Zoological Gardens ; when the Clarendon is shut up, and its numerous cooks substistute the Church for the kitchen ; when a devout stillness reigns in the Carlton Club, and not a single dinner party is given in Grosvenor or Bel grave Squares—when all these edifying changes have taken place—then, and not till then, will we allow Sir ANDREW AGNEW to direct his anathemas exclu sively against the tea-gardens, the ale-house, and she baker's shop. But do not, most immaculate of Saints, —do not, as you value the principle of fair-play and , common feeling—do not punish LAZARUS, and per mit DlvEs to go scot-free. Think that pover:y may have its virtues, as wealth may have its vices ; and that to legislate on a different principle, is to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. Let the Sunday-tribulation Bill hut pales in its pre sent shape, and heaven help the poor man ! England will be no home for him after such an inquisitorial Act shall have become law. Spies and infimmcrs will beset Limn in every direction. The vcry air of heaven will be forbidden to him. He will not he able to ride --or drive—or take a refreshing glass of beer at the ale-louse—or a .cup of tea at the tea-gardens—or an hour's row on the water—or an hour's drive on the rail-road—he will be compcled to be wretched and cn nuied in spite of himself, and will have nothing I left for it but to snore in church or in bed through out the Sabbath-day, from " the rising of the sun to the going down of the same." And all these wholesale annoyances arc to be heaped upon because Sir AN DREW -AGN EW is pious ! His countenance is to be a very title-page of tribulation, because the Member for Wigton eschews a happy face on the Sabbath ! But this cannot—must not be. Sir ANDREW must be taught to content himself with his own fanaticism, and to cease to worry others into the same gloomy creed. We are sick of the cant of exclusive sanctity—of all cants - the most detestable, because the most impious. A pamphlet calculated to excite a good deal of at tention among those who are in the habit of congra tulating themselves upon the naval superiority of Great Britain has just been published by the Messrs. RIDG WAY, entitled the " Russian Fleet in the Baltic in 183 G." The author, 11. W. CRAUFURD, commander in the Royal Navy, was present at the annual review of the Russian fleet at Cronstadt in the course of last rear ; and by the personal courtesy of the Emperor was allowed every facility of examining the different ships of war assembled for the inspection of his Im perial Majesty. The results of his inquilies are cm bodied in the tract before tie, from which we propose making a few extracts, with a view to draw the atten tion of Parliament and the Lords of the Admiralty to a question of such vital importance. The confidence we have ever had in the latent energies of the British nation is not in the least diminished by the statements which we are about to submit to the public—not so much because the nation is rich and powerful, as because the great bulk of the people are only stimu lated to heroic achievements by the apprehension of danger. No true Englishman will ever despair of his country ; but our patriotic confidence in the national resources ought not to blind us to the danger of per mitting the right arm of England to become paralyzed through legislative neglect, or a pitiful short-sighted spirit of " penny-wise and pound-foolish" economy on the part of the Government. The following is Mr. CRAUFURD'S account of the Russian fleet lying at Cronstadt in 1836 The fleet, consisting of 26 line of battle ships, besides frigates and smaller craft, was anchored in two lines. There were three three-deckers, rated 110 gun-ships; six two deckers, carrying 84 guns, and eighteen seventy-fours ; one razeed 74, carrying 56 guns as a frigate ; a 52 gun frigate, and seventeen forty-fours ; three large corvettts, and a num ber of smaller vessels. The ships looked neat, and man-of war like, though rather heavy about their rigging, as Russians in general are. As we passed each ship, the Emperor him self, personally, gave a short account of her force, bow long she had been built, what her qualities were, and the condition she was in. He appeared to be aware of every particular con nected with each individual ship—and, with such a number, it showed the constant watchfulness exercised over them, and the great interest taken by him in their state of effectiveness. The comparative superiority of these ships to most of those which I remembered to have seen in the Mediterranean in 1828 and 1829, impressed me at once with a strong idea of the rapid progress they had made in so short a space of time, during which the farce of my own country had remained at least sta tionary. We believe there are, few Englishmen whom this picture of the growing naval power of Russia, as com pared with that of England, will not fill with some degree of anxiety. It would be ridiculously presump tuous to prescribe bounds to a power that in a few years has effected so much in spite of the greatest ob stacles, unless in bounding the naval dominion of Russia we take care to assert our own. The empire of the seas is no hereditary appendage of the British Crown—possession there goes for nothing. Might alone constitutes the only right which any country can claim to the sovereignty of the " high-road of nations." The importance of this fact must occur to every indi vidual interested in maintaining the naval superiority of Great Britain, on perusing the following reflection from the pamphlet above quoted : It was a strange feeling that came over me as an English man and an officer in the British Navy, on finding myself at sea with six-and-twenty Russian line-of-battle ships, with nearly 30,000 men, better soldiers than they are sailors, and four months provisions on board ; knowing as I did that for the protection of the coasts of my own country, of our ports, of our mercantile shipping in the Baltic, the North See, and the Channel, we had but seven line-of-battle ships in a state of preparation, and those I believe not fully manned. I con fess that, confident as I fat in the superior skill and activity of my countrymen, I almost trembled fur the preservation of their ancient sovereignty of the seas. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea consists of no fewer than eighteen line-of-battle ships, with a comple ment of at least 19,000 men, while se have in the smile quarter only two frigates and a sloop of wart manned by about 1,000 men. In fact we had las year only 14,000 men in all parts of the world in acute naval service, and our present co:npletnent is only 19,000—a force by NO means adequate to the protection of the commercial interests of this country. We are aware that there are many persons who will denounce as ridiculous the apprehensions ex pressed by Mr. CRAUFURD in the following supposed extreme case ; but without participating in his fear, to their full extent, we cannot say that we regard them with indifference. On the contrary, the more we re flect upon them—in conjunction with the many over sights of our Government in everything that relates to the designs of Russia—the more are we persuaded of the necessity of making the public mind familiar with them. If we err at ail, let it be on the safe side—on the side of a prudent precaution against a possible evil : Suppose a case, which, from common report, is not likely to occur, that the seizure of the Vixen should lead to a rupture between England and Russia. Foreseeing the consequences of this act of his officers, what would be the conduct of the Emperor of Russia as a wise Monarch ? I should imagine he would diplornatise, until his fleet, as one of the natural conse quences of the arrival of summer, was ready for the annual Cronstadt review, and then declare himself openly. And what, under such circumstances, would be the position of Great Britain ? Have we a fleet to protect our coasts from the at-' tacks of such a force ? What an agreeable mode, for Russia, of paying the expenses of her fleet, to pick up our merchant ships in all directions, before our ships were in readiness for their protection; of ix hat fatal consequence to us would be their non-arrival in our ports; and in what way, or on what point of this inattackable power should We attempt to reven g e such a heavy blow ? I am afraid that if we leave ourselves much longer open to the possibility of such a severe blow being dealt us, it will fall upon us some day with dreadful effect, and if it comes to us from Russia, she offers us neither ships with wealthy cargoes, nor rich possessions, from which we may ex act reparation for our losses, nor would she be foolish enough, when our fleet was prepared, to give us an opportunity of re venging our dishonour upon her men of war. Do we trust, then, for our defence solely to the impression the deeds of our Laval heroes mint have left upon the minds cf those who may think of coming to attack us ? Would the Emperor of Russia leave . the country be governs in such a state of dependence upon the forbearing spirit of any neigh bouring nation ? Does any other country leave its best, its dearest interests unprotected, those interests upon the mainte • 'lance of which its existence as an independent nation hangs, as ours does upon the maintenance of our superiority upon the seas ? I venture to affirm that we have not, at the present moment, the superiority upon the seas, and that it would require some time, and the greatest exertions, to give it to us again ; while a neighbou► ing Power, u ith whom our relations do not always wear the most friendly aspect, has, during three or four months annually, an overwhelming force afloat within a week's sail of our shores. Let it be remembered that these opinions—unpalate able as they must be to the national vanity of English men—are not only those of a British naval officer, but likewise of an officer who would seek to persuade us that the Emperor NICHOLAS is personally as tender of the rights of Englishmen as he is of the most sa cred of his Imperial prerogatives. Mr. CRAUFURD is no alarmist on the score of Russian aggression. He deems the provocation of a just war by a Monarch so enli, , ,htened—so liberal—so conspicuous for his many virtues as the CZAR, as next to impossible. His ob j,:ct in v: riling, therefore, has no immediate relation to an apprehension of danger from any quarter. He merelv seeks to draw the attention of the Admiralty, and the nation generally, to the actual condition of our naval force, as compared with that of a Power which may be said to have only yesterday started into a mari time exiAence. • We go much farther, because we place no reliance whatever upon the peaceable designs of Russia. Were Russia in a condition to cope suc cessfully with Eni_land at sea, what would there be to prevent her from seizing upon Constantinople ? This is the secret of her eagerness to organze an efficient fleet in the Black Sea, and the moment this, her great end, is obtained will the thunder of her cannon be heard le-echoing along the shores of the Bosphorus. She menaces England, only that she may clutch Turkev. The whole of the Paris papers of Tuesday have been received. On that day the French Government received the following telegraphic intelligence : BORDEAUX, JUNE s.—On The Ist the Carlists were still t Barbastro, and the Christinos occupied Berbegal, Morilla, Selgua, Castejo del Puente, and Nlonzon. on the two banks of the Cinca, and near to Barbastro. The Carlists were in want of provisions, and the desertion was very consider..blc. A letter from Jaca would lead to the belief that I)on Carlos and Don Sebastian had left Barbastro, without its being known in what direction they bad gone." BAYONNE, JUNE 5 —On the 2d Don Carlos was still at Barbastro. On the Ist General Oraa had written to Esplr tero that he was in a condition to observe and attack Don Carlos when he (Oraa) had formed a junction with Baron de Meer, being in communication with him by Monzon. Es;isrt,ro had received this letter at Patnpluna on the 3d, and had abandoned tke idea of marching on Ritera. It was thought that ho would send reinforcements to Oraa. If this account be correct the position of Don CARLOS is extremely critical. Surrounded on all sides by a strong Christino force, and in the midst of a hostile population, he has scarcely a chance of ex tricating his troops, much less of _marching at their head to Madrid. The Catalans, instead of flocking to his standard, as his partizans led him to expect, eva cuate their dwellings at his approach—carry away or • destroy their provisions—harass his rear, cutting off all stragglers from the main body of his army—.and, in fact, reduce him to the necesity of subsistin g his troops by plunder. What is still worse for the Pre tender, the Christinos have it now in their power to harass him by the species of guerilla warfare which he so successfully adopted in the Basques. By entering Catalonia—quitting his secure mountain fastnesses where be chose his own time for fighting—he has completely turned the tables upon himself. All that is now required to reduce him is vigour and dispatch on the part of the QUEEN'S Generals. Procrastina tion only can rob them of the glory of putting an end to the war before the close of the present season. Advices from San Sebastian of the Ist inst. state that on that day the soldiers of the Legion were paid up all arrears due to the 30th of April. The re mainder of their pay to the 10th inst. they were to re ceive before the expiration of the period of their pre sent engagement. Few of them appeared willing to continue in the Spanish service, without obtaining leave to visit their friends in these kingdoms in the course of the summer. The Spanish Governmelit ought not to accept the proffered services of any soldier upon such a condition. The men would only waste their money in drunkenness and debauchery ; hundreds of them would never return ; and the few that would rejoin the army would have disqualified themselves by their vices for the support of a cause so sacred as that of Constitutional freedom. There is no domestic news in the French journals of Tuesday of any importance. On Monday deputa tions from the Chambers of Peers and Deputi es , headed by their respective Presidents, waited upoa the KING to congratulate him upon the tnartiage of the Duke of ORLEANS. Baron PASQUIER wore the robes of Chancellor of France, and more than two thirds of the Deputies appeared in Court costumes. Some irritation was caused in the Lower Chamber by the promulgation of the Ordinance that all at tending the festivities were expected to come in Court dresses ; but on Monday notices were posted up, to the effect that an exception would be made in favour of Deputies. After the formality of the presentation was over on Monday, the KING him self good-humouredly joked some of the Deputies about the ridiculousness of the etiquette usual on such occasions, and added, with as much prudence as good taste, that his friends were always welcome, no mater in what garments they appeared. The Deputies were well pleased with -their reception. Annexed are extracts from the journals of Tues day : The Lidicatear of Bourdeaux contains the following letter from Oleron, May 1 : Irribarren died rather in consequnce of a fit of passion than of his wound. He did not mean to attack the enemy at Huesca with the half of his force, but having heard himself called a traitor, he caused the action to he commenced with a charge of cavalry, which, having to contend with a superior force, suffered severely. The infantry did not experience any considcralic loss, and the artillery did great havoc in the ranks cf the Carlists. _ _ The following. reports arc in circulation :_Baron de Meer has interrupted a great convoy of provisions which the Cata lonians were conveying to the Ccrea : that General, in con cert with other commanders, completely guards that river. The Carlist expedition is quite destitute of provisions, because the Art agoncse prevent all c..mmunications. The mountaineers have taken a great part of the baggage belonging to the Pre tender, an] made a whole battalion of the insurgents, which had'dispersed, prisoners. General Jauregui returned to Her na ni, after having favoured the movements of General Es partero to Pampeluna. Andouin was therefore evacuated the day following its occul,ation.- 7 -Phare. A letter received from Vera of May 30, says that five or six Carlist battalions had assembled the day before- at Goy meta and Leiza. It was _thought that an action might take place at one of these points on the following day, between the Carlists and Espartero, who proceeded from Pampeluna, leaving Lecumberri on the right. The same letter says that these battalions came frcm the Cinco Villas, and plundered everything on their way.—La Commerce. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Duke and Duchess of Or leans received Marshal Lobau and General Jacqueminot, who came to invite them to the ball to be given next week in their honour by the National Guard, at the Opera-house. At eight o'clock her Royal Highness appeared at the balcony of the centre pavilion of the Tuileries, to which she was handed by the King. There was an immense crowd in the garden, whose greetings were loud and loyal. Immediately afterwards the Prince and Princess Royal received the diplornative corps ; at half-past eight o'clock the ladies of the Foreign Ministers, and at nine in succession the Council of State. the officers of the Civil List, and of the Royal private domains, and the commandants and adjutants of the Royal Palaces. The Duke of Orleans replied to the various addresses with the utmost affability, mixed with noble and dignified sentiments. The answers of the Duchess were replete with grace and warm expressions of gratitude for the re. ceptien she had met with in France. To-day, at ten o'clock, their Royal Highnesses received the Aides-de-Camp, 'Equerries, and orderly officers of the King and Princes, and afterwards, in succession, the Marshals of France, the AdMi rals, deputations from the two Chambers, the several Law Courts, the Municipality, and the Consistorics of the Reformed Church and of the Confession of Augsburg, and the Jcwieh Synagogue. To-morrow, at 12, they will receive the com mandant, staff, and officers of the National Guards of Paris, and the Banlieue, and afterwards the officers of the Hotel des Invalides, who will be succeeded by the staff and officers of the regiments composing the garrison of Paris, such other Gene rals and superior officers as arc in the capital, and the different civil officers. At eight in the evening there will be a general reception of all ladies and gentlemen who are admitted at Court. All the receptions have Aitken place, and will ta k e place, in the apartments of the Duke and Duchess of Orleans. FRENCH FUNDS —Pattie. June 6. Five per Cents., 1(U 75c. 10c. Sec. 85c.

The LORD CIIANCELLCR was occupied the whole morning with the case of Isaacs v. Gumpertz, which was an application for a new trial. VICE-CLIANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE PICK WICK CLUB. CHAPMAN AND HALL LLOYD. Mr. KNIGHT, with whom Was 111 r. BACON, applied this morning in this case for an injunction to restrain the defendant from publishing a work called the " Penny Pickwick," not on the ground of invasion of copyright, but fraudulent imitation. As all our readers are aware, the plaintiffs have for some time published a work, the circulation of o hich is very cx. tcnsive, called the " Posthumous Papers of the Piekwiek Club." The defendants had latterly published a work cu t:tied " The Penny Pickwick", the form of ii hie!' was likely to deceive the ignorant and unwary into the belief that it was the same work as that published by the plaintiffs, is Lich was of a highly meritorious character. They had adopted nearly similar names as those used in the original work, instezd of " Boz" they used the name of " Bos"; for " Snodgrass" " Snodgreen" ; for " Tupman" " Tupnall"; and for " Winkle" " Winkletop ;" and the illustrations of the work instead of being by " Phiz" were stated to be by " Phis." The form of the letters on the outer cover of the work was also copied. Under these circumstances the Learned Counsel trusted the Court would grant the injunction, as the work of the defendant was evidently intended to injure that of the Alr. BACON appeared on the same side. Ilis HONOUR, without hearing the other side, immediately gave judgment. He did cot think there was any case that called for the interference of the Court, inasmuch as it was impcssible.the work of the defendant could injure that of the plaintiff, as one was but a meagre copy of the other. He would therefore order the motion to stand over, reserving the question of costs, giving the plaintiff liberty to bring such action as he might be advised. SITTINGS. His IfoNoun stated for the information of the Bar, that the first Seal after Term would be on Wednesday, the 21st of June, and the last on the 29th of July ; that the Court would nut sit after the 11th of August. His Honour also stated that he ended to sit at Lincoln's Inn from the last day of Term to the first Seal, to hear motions. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.-MUDD V. lUCKERMORK. This was an action of ejectment tried before Mr. Justice Vaughan, and at the trial the attesting witness to a will, named Strivelling, was called by the defendants to prove his own signature, and also the signature of the testator. The witness having proved these facts, was handed a number of his own signatures, pasted on a sheet of paper, which he identified ; and on the second day of the trial a witness was called by the plaintiff, for the purpose of proving, by the knowledge of Strivelling's handwriting which he had obtained by the in spection of the signatures on the sheet of paper, that the sig nature to the will was not in the handwriting of Strivelling. The Learned Judge objected to the reception of such evidence, and a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of such evidence having been improperly rejected, was subsequently obtained. The four Judges now delivered their judgment at great length—Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Patteson being of opinion that the evidence had been properly rejected, and that the rule ought to be discharged; and Lord Denman aril Mr. Justice Williams being of opinion that the evidence was admissible ; Lord Denman adding, that two of the Learned Judges being of a d;fferent opinion, the rule for a new trial cmld not be made absolute.

" HULL, JUNE 7.—This morning at six o'clock, as the Union was ready to leave here for Gainsboreugh, crowded with passengers, the boiler exploded, the vessel was blown into a thousand pieces, tad sunk in the Dock Basin. Many of the passengers were killed, a considerable number seriously injured, and I am afraid many more drowned. " In baste, &c. &c. " W. MOON." The Castor, laden with tobacco, is lost near St. Malo. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) Cl7'Y, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Accounts received from Manchester this morning state there was very little business doing yesterday either in goods or yarns ; the market seemed, in consequence of the great American failures, for the moment paralyzed ; but notwith standing an opinion seemed to be prevalent that a weight had been taken off the market, and that they would soon find prices more steady, and sales more easy to be effected. During the whole of yesterday there was a much better feeling among the commercial and monied interests than has bee❑ for some days past. The letters received from Liver pool late in the afternoon were more favourable than those re ceived by the regular post in the morning. No additional fAilures were announced, and speculations had again com menced in the Cotton Market. THE FUNDS. which closed yesterday at 911 for the Account, opened this morning rather heavy at 914 sellers, owing to the indisposition of thu Kino.; Exchequer Bills, 35 to 37; India Bonds, 33 to 37 ; Bank ° Stock, 2041. Spanish Active maintains the price they closed at, 221 221, done (Ex-Coupons)—at present, 231, without Coupons ; Portuguese, 434- ; Three per Cents., 28a ; Dutch Two-and at Half per Cents., 53k. We understand that all the China Bills drawn upon the thi%e great American Ilouses, recently failed, will be pro vided for. Up to the present hour all is tranquil 41 the City in respec to commercial affairs. HALF-PAST OAK All continues perfectly tranquil in the City to the present It:Air—not even a failure is reported. A second letter from Liverpool has been received by the coach ; it does not bring any tidings of the American packet ship of the 16th being off that port, no doubt owing to the easterly winds. It is anxiously looked for, Consols continue rather heavy. In the early part of the morning they were at 91f , since which they have receded to 91A- for the Account. His Majesty's illness throws a damper on the market. Excl:equer Bills, 35 37 prem. ; India Bonds, 35 37, ; Bank Steck, 205. There is ♦ery little business doing in either of the Heus••s. Spanish Active, 23 i i ex .Courons ; Passive, ; Portuguese, 431 ; Three per Cents, 28 ; Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents, 53i ; Brazilian, 83. ; American Bank Stock, 931—little doing. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, 91i. The country-gentlemen, in losing their rank and condition, lost the higher and more delicate part of their prin ciples. There decayed at once in them that robustness and that nobility of character, which men, like trees, acquire from standing separately. Deprived of their former occupations and amusements, and impatient of inactivity, they condescended to be members of gaming clubs in the fashionable cities, in curred new and worst expenses. and eagerly sought, from among the friendships which they had contracted those who might obtain for themselves, or for their families, some atom from the public dilapidation. hence nearly all were subservient to the minister; those who were not so, were marked out as disaffected to the constitution, or at best as single men rho courted celebrity from retirement.—Lander. A farmer, from Sparkbottom, Derbyshire, named William Sampson, who bad lately been attending the market, narrowly escaped a most horrible death under the following circu:nstanees was setting his cart in a shed in the Royal Oak-yard, Little Underbank, when accidentally placing his, feet upon some decayed boards, which proved the only cover to an old pump well, the boards gave way under his weight, and ho ivas precipitated to a depth of about thirty feet, and, in all probability, would have been drowned if his descent had not been interrupted by a beam across the well, to which he clung for support. Ile was soon extricated from his dan gerous situation, and fortunately the only injury he sustained, in addition to being thoroughly drenched, was a few bruises.— Manchester Times._ Mr. Francis Hunt at the Ballast-h]ls, near this town, has a hen which lately deposited an egg weighing up wards of four ounces, and of the extraordinary longitudinal circumference of eight inches.—Sunderland Herald. In spite of the jibes and jests of our Tory Con temporaries the requisition to Mr. Elphinstone has been for warded to London, and after passing safely through the ordeal of the examination with which they threatened it, has been accepted. 'We shall be strangely disappointed if Toryism is net put down for ever in this town at the next election.— Liverpool Chronicle. FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. The guard of the Hull and Lincoln mail brought intelligence to town till.; morning of a fatal explosion ha., ing tak , en place yes terday on board one of the Hull and Gainsborou2h Steam packets—the boiler having burst. The extent of the loss of life could not be ascertained until low water. We have thel mekrif holy duty, however, to state that eleven bodies were found blown to a consider:llle d::tailce—dead ; ani n.any others in a dreadful state of mutilation. Six dead bodies were taken out of the cabin ; and it is feared there arc several others in the lower part of the packet, as a great many per sons are missing. The details of this appalling accident are looked for v:ith the most painful anxiety. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, as the Union steamer was ready to leave Hull for Gainsborough, crowded with pas sengers, the boiler explAc d. The vessel was b!own into thousands of pieces, and the. wreckwreck sunk in the Dock basin ; and it is truly melancholy to report that out of 160 on board, •only six have been saved. WINDSOR-WEDNESDAY. His Majesty, we regret to say, has not had so good a night. The Duke of 11 , illand, Lord Albemarle, and the Dul.e of Grafton visited Ascot Races.

LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—It ap pears by a statement issued by the Directors of this Company, that to complete the whole line to Greenwich it will require 80,0001.—that a dividend will shortly be declared out of the r.ett profits of the Company, which by the end of th:s month it is expected will amount to 25,0001. ; and after deducting for expenses 10,000/. for the half year, will pay a dividend on the old shares of upwards of 5 per cent. per annum. BRIGHTON RAILIi'AY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN., Sin—ls not the curse of over-legislation fu ll y manifested. by the vote on the Brighton Railway o n the 30th of May last ; or what sophistry can annihilate the fact, that be tween :.00,000/. and 230,0001. of private individuals' money has been sunk in a contest, which, if Rcnnic's had been really the most cestiy, Ivh_tiaer the Lest or not, had certainly not been consliL:red the most costly to anythimr like the extent of that sum ? And as but for this super-legislation, 50. per cent. of the outlay would have been lane - ere this usefully expended, and propartionably sooner have produced returns. WThat an act of hardship must it not prove to the share' i 1 olders—this late instance of the exercise of pa rt y spirit n a question that sh.la have been solely between the Com p ny and the rave Ing public ? Under the specious and parental assu mption of guarding the public weal - are these iniquitous disinterestednesses perpetrated. Of course the sue porters a the indirect Brighton line people had no interests—no friends to be bes t served by opposition to the direct 13;-iebton line beyond the mere Company's people (Stephenson's)—of course no Ilre judices or undue influences actuated the members of the Government in departing from the ordinary course in vet ing at all. Your able critique on the subject on Tues da y evening leaves me, however, no more to say, than that as an enemy to such absolutism respecting the interests of a Company of private individuals, I trust you will make. further comment on this business, and if these batty re marks are at all to the point you will make use of thee:- _ I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, June 2.
