But, believe me. believe mc, I know enough of the English mind to be perfectly convinced that the experiment to grant such equality will miserably fail. It will be easy to hod an excuse for curtailing one right, refusing another, distorting a third, and converting into mischief a fourth, iu the cate gory of civil and municipal rights. Lord Stanley will easily find pretexts for resisting onr rights. Look to the bigotry exhibited at Taunton. Look at the furious fanaticism proclaimed at Edinburgh. I deeply fear and potently believe that the Ministry will be defeated, that the fanatics of England will disgrace themselves again, and that the people of Ireland will be, once more, left to their own resources. It is said that a wise prophet deals in foretelling matters remote and distant; but that he is foolish foreseer who pre dicts facts of immediate or near occurrence. It will be said that I belong to the class of unwise pro phets when I prophecy that within twelve months you, my Lord, will be convinced of the futility of your present expec tations. I will then, my Lord, firmly. but respectfully, call upon your Lordship to head the repeal movement, assuring you that you will be received with the most heartfelt acclama tions, applause, and respect. You will have the happiness Of being one of those who shall assist to restore the nationality of Ireland, and enable the Irish people to do justice for them selves, instead of begging it, at the hands of others.—l have the honour to be, my Lord, with perfect respect and esteem, YOU most faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL.

At the first signal My Mary, Mongrel, and Cranebrook got off in a line, and with the Highwayman, the Conjuror, and As -you -like-it in their wake, cut out the work alternately to the top of the course. My Mary then obtained a clear lead, bit was deprived of it by her two companions at the road, and followed them to the Bridge turn, the Conjuror and highwayman still lying very forward. Here Div Mary re covered the lead, and, sustaining a pace that had been good from the first, held it to the straight running, where Crane brook and Mongrel once more showed ahead. Their chances , however, were out at the distance, and Plaudit to o k the lead, attended closely by Lightning and Yardley, every other horse having cried " enough."

THE SUN, LONDON, SATUADAY EV'ENIIyG JUL' 18, 1846._ she is allowed a champion. She has, however, an interview with Don Rodrigue before the contest—her former love re turns, and she urges him to defend himself to the utmost. Don Rodrig,ue is victorious. There is an alarm given of the ap proach of the Moors, Don Rodrigue defeats them, and on his return is hailed as the saviour of his country. The King ap peals to Chimene to forego her prosecution of him—she yields at length. Don Rodrigue is pardoned, and it is understood that after a proper time shall have elapsed he is to be re warded with the hand of Chimene. The character of Chimene is one of strong contrasts—filial duty and love are in it constantly contending, and finely, very finely, was this combat of the passions (we should rather say the affections) delineated by Mdlle. Rachel. The character of Chimene, to the mere reader of the play, appears inconsistent and unnatural. It was the glory of Mademoiselle Rachel last evening to reduce to unity this apparent inconsistency, and to prove that the character has hitherto appeared unnatural only because it has not been brought out fully, with all its lights and shadows properly worked in. She was called for at the conclusion to receive the rapturous applause of one of the most crowded and fashionable audiences of the season. July 11 Arbroath and Forfar .......

The following is the text of the treaty between her Ma jesty and the United States of America, for the settlement of the Oregon boundary, signed at Washington, June 15th, 1846: "Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the United States of America, deem ing it to be desirable for the future welfare of both countries, that the state of doubt and uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed respecting the sovereignty and government of the territory on the north-west coast of America, lying westward of the Rocky or Stony Mountains, should be finally termi nated by an amicable compromise of the rights mutually asserted by the two parties over the said territory, have re spectively named plenipotentiaries to treat and agree con cerning the terms of such settlement, this is to say : " Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland has, on her part, appointed the Right Hen. Richard Pakenham, a member of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and her Majesty's Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States; and the President of the United States of America has, on his part, furnished with full powers, James Buchanan, Secre tary of State of the United States; who, after having com municated to each other their respective full powers, found in good and due form, have agreed upon and concluded the fol owing articles "Art. I. From the point on the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, where the boundary laid down in existing treaties and conventions between Great Britain and the United States terminates, the line of boundary between the territories of her Britannic Majesty and those of the United States shall be continued westward along the said forty-ninth parallel of north latitude' to the middle of the channel which separates the continent from Vancouver's Island; and thence southerly, through the middle of the said channel, and of Fuca's Straits, to the Pacific Ocean : provided, however, that the navigation of the whole of the said channel and straits, south of the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, remain free and open to both parties. "Art. 11. From the point at which the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude shall be found to intersect the great northern branch of the Columbia river, the navigation of the said branch shall be free and open to the Hudson's Bay Company, and to all British subjects trading with the same, to the point where the said branch meets the main stream of the Co lumbia, and thence down the said main stream to the ocean, with free access into and through the said river or rivers • it being understood, that all the usual portages along the fine thus described shall in like manner be free and open. " In navigating the said river or rivers, British subjects, with their goods and produce, shall be treated on the same footing as citizens of the United States; it being, however, always understood, that nothing in this article shall be con • strued as preventing, or intended to prevent, the Government of the United States from making anyregulations respecting the navigation of the said river or rivers, not inconsistent with the present treaty. " Art. lII.—In the future appropriation of the territory south of the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, as pro vided in the first article of this treaty, the possessory rights of the Hudson's Bay Company, and of all British subjects, who may be already in the occupation of land or other pro perty lawfully acquired within the said territory, shall be respected. " Art. IV. The farms, lands, and other property of every description, belonging to the Puget's Sound Agricultural Company, on the north side of the Columbia River, shall be confirmed to the said company. In case, however, the situa tion of those farms and lands should be considered by the United States to be of public and political importance, and the United States' Government should signify a desire to obtain possession of the whole or of any part thereof, the property so required shall be transferred to the said Govern ment at a proper valuation, to be agreed upon between the parties. " Art. V. The present treaty shall be ratified by her Britannic Majesty, and by the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate thereof; and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London at the expiration of six months from the date hereof, or sooner if possible. " In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. " Done at Washington, the 15th day of June, in the year Of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-six. " RICHARD PAKENHAM. (L.S.) " JAMES BUCHANAN." (L.S.) WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JULY 17.—We have a good supply of wheats, and moderate of other grain. The trade is extremely dull, and a limited business done in best samples of wheat, at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter; com mon qualities unsaleable, unless at a further reduction. Beans sell freely at Is. advance. Oats are id. per stone, and shelling 6d. to Is. per load cheaper. Malt firm. The grow ing crops have improved very much the last week, and with fine weather, harvest will commence in this neighbourhood in a fortnight. PARISH OF KENSINGTON.—Yesterday a crowded meeting of the inhabitant ratepayers of the parish of Ken sington, was held in the vestry-room of the old church, to receive a report from the committee appointed by the rate payers, on the 19th June last, to draw up a letter to be sent to the guardians, and to the Poor-law Commissioners, to stay proceedings, and to take such measures as may be advisable to prevent the building the workhouses. Mr. Churchwarden Sheppard having been called to the chair, the report was brought up and read. It stated that the efforts of the com mittee had been futile. The report baying been received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes, a petition to both Houses of Parliament, praying for their interference to pre vent the order of the Poor-law Commissioners respecting the building of a new workhouse being further proceeded with, was moved, and unanimously adopted. Thanks having been moved to the committee, the meeting separated. CLERICAL NON-RESIDENCE.—The Bishop of Ely, in the course of his charge, which he is now engaged in deli vering at his visitations, states that more than one-fourth— indeed, nearly one-third--of the beneficed clergy in his diocese are non-resident on their cures. Three causes, he adds, mainly contribute to their absence : Ist, ill health ; 2d, the non-existence of proper parsonage houses; and, 3d, the holding of more than one living. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. JOSEPH MARTIN.—A meeting of a few influential inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without took place on Wednesday evening, at the White Hart, Giltspur-street. Mr. William Rogers, past church warden of St. Sepulchre's, was appointed chairman, and after an impressive speech, presented a handsome watch and gold key to Mr. Joseph Martin, in token of his long valuable ser vices as an inspector of the City police. The following in scription is engraved on the watch :—" Presented to Mr. Joseph Martin, Inspector of City Police, as a token of respect by a few inhabitants of the Ward of Farringdon Without, on his removal from West Smithfield to Cripplegate, and for his great assiduity and faithful discharge of the duties imposed on him by that office. 1846." CELEBRATION OF THE PASSING OF THE CORN BILL IN MANCHESTER.—In compliance with two numerously signed requisitions to the Mayor, Mr. W. B. Watkins, his worship has recommended that onday, August 31, should be observed in Manchester as a holiday, in celebration of the passing of the Corn-law Repeal Act. No particular course of proceeding is dictated by the Mayor. but there is no doubt that the day will be observed as one of general rejoicing, and that a splendid procession of the trades, &c., of the town will be arranged. WIND-SOWN GRAIN.—Last year, just on the eve of the barley harvest, a very high wind occurred in the neigh bourhood of Liverpool, which swept off from a ripe crop of barley enough seed to sow an adjoining field that lay fallow. The occupier of the land, observing the seed so freely scat tered upon the soil, caused it to be harrowed in ; it stood the winter, shot up in the spring, and last week was cut down, and a sample of it shown in the market, the same being of the finest description.—Manchester Guardian.

"Cross-examined—There was not much trails from Ayr shire to the south at present, but that he thought arose from the want of travelling accommodation. With a line he considered a supply of coal would go south, but he could not say to what extent. No doubt a great proportion of the coal would continue to be used for the making of iron, still a portion might go south, notwithstanding the existence of the Sanquhar and Canobie coal-fields. He did not think, with regard to Ayrshire that the Caledonian line would be a competing one with the present. They ran through en tirely different districts of country. Mr. Alexander, of Ballackmyle, examined—His estate was near Mauchliue, on the extension line from Kil marnock to Cuninuck. He had heard the evidence of Mr. Crawford yesterday, and generally agreed with it. The inhabitants of the district were generally in favour of the present line, as it would form an excellent communication with the south, give them additional markets, and bring them in connexion with extensive lime-works south of Cumnock. A large amount of dairy produce was raised in Ayrshire, especially cheese, and tile drainifg was carried on to a great extent. There were from forty to fifty tile works in the country, and the tiles cost from 18s. to 20s. a thousand. A considerable demand for those he had no doubt would take place in Dunfriesshire. Public meetings of both Renfrewshirc and Ayshire had decided in favour of the present line. He was lord of the manor of Latrine, which was extensively engaged in weaving and spinning cotton, and contained 2,600 inhabitants. Au extensive coal-field existed all around here. _ Cress-examined—He felt considerable interest in the line. He was a holder of 150 shares, and a director. He was a director of the line last year in opposition to the Caledonian. He did not think the present line would take any traffic from the Caledonian that naturally belonged to it. He did not think the difference in gradients would enable the Nithsdale scheme to carry passengers from Glasgow to Carlisle as quick as the Caledonian. He was not aware that Mr. Miller had given such evidence last year. The Ayrshire cheese was the best made in Scotland, but it was not so good as the Cheshire cheese. He thought the Ayrshire cheese would find the southern market, as the price obtained there was better than the price obtained in Glasgow. He knew a portion of cheese was now sent, but he could not say how much. He could not say whether there was clay along the valley of the Nith or not. The cotton works at Catrine belonged to a large house in Glasgow. James Finlay and Colonel Ferier Hamilton, a landed proprietor and Deputy-Lieutenant of Ayrshire, gave evidence to the same effect as the previous witness. He considered the line would be a great benefit to all the property between Kilmarnock and Cumnock. He generally concurred in the evidence of Mr. Alexander. Cross-examined—He only held twenty five shares in the present line. He had taken them in order to support the line as a public benefit. If Mr. Lead bitter had stated, at a recent meeting, " that the late decision of the House of Commons had broken the back of the Caledonian Company, and that Glasgow would largely participate in the benefits of having two lines of railway communication with the south," he (the witness) could not understand what was meant; he could not, therefore, give an opinion on it. Sir David Hunter Blair thought the line would be of great benefit to Ayrshire. The proprietors of land and inhabitants generally were strongly in its favour. It would be the means of granting great accommodation to both agricultural and manufacturing products. Cross-examined—He did not think the present line would affect the Caledonian much. He thought that no Glasgow through traffic would come upon the present line. Mr. Wood, factor to the Marquis of Bute, gave evidence on behalf of his Lordship, and in favour of the line. The line passed through his Lordship's estate for several miles, and there were minerals, coal, and iron underneath. Were the railway formed a great accommodation would be given for the transit of coal, lime, and agricultural produce. Beside coal and iron found on the estates plumbago was also found and wrought ; likewise sulphuret of antimony. If the latter were wrought the ore would all go south. A house in Birmingham had offered to contract for as much as they could send. Large clay beds existed on the estate, and tiles were extensively made. He had been told there was no clay in Dunfermline for the mak ing of tiles. Cross-examined—No doubt a large amount of the coal in the district would be consumed when the proposed fur naces were in operation. He thought still there would be coal sent to the south as far as Thornhill, notwithstanding _ _ the existence of the Sanquhar coal- field. At present the plumbago raised was sent to Glasgow, but the price was not remunerative. No doubt if the line from Cumnock to Glas gow were constructed, the price of carriage would be reduced. Mr. J. Geddes, mining engineer, examined—He had had extensive experience in the coal-fields of Scotland. He was engineer to the Marquis of Bute and Sir Charles Monteith. He had traversed the route of the line along with Mr, Wright and Mr. Christie, with the object of as certaining its mineral capabilities. The Sanquhar coal field was a very extensive one, and extended, with the ex ception of a slight break to Cumnock. Limestone was also found in the same district, both in the Sanquhar coal-field, and at Closeburn as well as at Kellhead, near Annan. He had found blackband iron-stone in the New Cum nock field, not very thick, but very good. Black band iron-stone was at present got and worked in the vicinity of Old Cumnock, and several furnaces were in opera tion. The Dumfries people, and those along the valley of the Nith between that town and Sanquhar at present carted their coals from Sanquhar and Mansfield, which was very tedious and expensive. The aggregate thickness of the Mansfield coal seams was about forty feet. The coal was of very good quality, both gas and household coal. The price of coal here at the pit's mouth varied from 4s. 2d. to ss. 101 a ton. At Sanquhar the price was ss. 4d. The price of Scotch coal at the same time was 13s. 6d., and English coal 18s. 6d. a ton. If the railway were made a large reduction would no doubt take place in price. Dumfries and Maxwell contained a population of about 16,000, and he knew no place from whence they could be supplied so cheaply as Sanquhar and Mansfield. He thought the Dumfries district would consume about 28,000 tons, the half of which would come from the former coal-fields and the other half from Canobie. About 18,003 tons more would be consumed by the other districts along the line—making a consumption of 32,000 tons in all. A great deal of lime would also be carried, and he had assumed that 30,000 tons would pass on an average six miles along the line. He estimated that 1,860 tons gas coal would pass along the line for 'use at various points, and that 10,000 tons would be shipped from the ports of Ayrshire. The line he considered would be a great public benefit. Cross-examined—lie was employed by the various pro prietors to make the explorations he had done. He had also been employed by the Company to give his impressions of the mineral capacities of the district, and had so in co:'sequence gone over the district. At present the coals from Sanquhar -Ind Mansfield were all carted, the expense of which he esti mated at 33. per ton per mile. With regard to the Mansfield and Sanquhar coal-fields he did not think much coal would go north except the gas coal. He believed Dumfries was at present supplied to a great extent with Cumberland coal. His estimate of the consumption of coal was at one and a half tons per head. The witness was here examined at some length on the details of his table of the coal con sumed in the several parishes which skirted the the lime, with the object of showing tat he had over-esti mated the tonnage of coal that would pass along it. The pre sent consumption of coal at Dumfries was mostly English coal, but if the line were formed he did not think English coal would be then used. The difference in price, he thought, would be so great as to drive the English coal out of the market. The present price of Scotch coal was 16s. 6d., and English 18s. 6d., but the railway would make a much greater difference in price. He did not think English coal would be reduced in proportion. Were a line formed from Dumfries to Canobie, the coal of the latter would equally drive out the English coal. He did not say that 30,000 tons of lime would pass along the line on an average of six miles ; he said 13,000. The way he had calculated the coal and lime traffic was, by taking sta tions at intervals along the line, and then taking the popula tion surrounding them which would require supplies. He would supply in a table all the details that arenecessary to illustrate the amount of traffic he considered would be taken by the line. To Mr. Sergeant MURPIIY—He had on a former occasion reported that iron was on the route of the Slamannan Rail way, but though that line had been in existence for several years, no iron had yet been found. -It had recently amal gamated with two other lines, because it had failed as a mineral line. He was mistaken: by appearances in re porting on the Slamannan line, but in regard to the present line, he bad made a greater examination, and did not think he had made any mistake. He had not, however, cal culated on iron going along the line. He had not examined into the plumbago and sulphuret of antimony; he only spoke of coal and lime. He could not say that coal might be laid down in Dumfries from Maryport for 10s. _ _ _ The Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock on Monday. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The statement of our Cork correspondent, that Vice- Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., had declined the offer of the Government, of the post of first naval lord of the new Board of Admiralty, is correct. We are sorry to hear of this decision of Sir William, for we think the country will be the loser by it. At the same time, no one can blame the Gallant Admiral for pre ferring the comparatively smooth and quiei employment as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean to the ex tremely responsible, laborious, harassing, and, in many respects, most unsatisfactory duties, as First Naval Lord of the Admiralty. As Commander-in-Chief of a sta tion his income is above 1,0001. a year, more, strange to say, than he would receive at the Admiralty, us Commander-in-Chief not only of all the naval stations, but of all the dockyards, too, under the Crown. In the former position, important and responsible as it is, soma relaxation can be enjoyed at times by delegating the chief authority to the flag captain and the indefatigable and always able secretary ; but at the Admiralty there can be no cessation from continuous labour—even Sunday brings no relief. Our correspondent added— " The gallant admiral arrived on Monday in his flag ship, the Hibernia, 104, eommanded by Captain Peter Richards, C.B. He received his orders for coming to Cork from the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Notl, whi c h s hip , from Plymouth, fell in with him on the 9th instant, and accompunied the Hibernia to this port. Sir William Parker will wait further dispatches from the Govern ment, and will then proceed to sea in command of the Channel fleet." It is probable that when Sir William Parker communicated his decision to the admiralty he had not received those pressing invitations to accent a seat at the Admiralty, which is said to have been writ ten him by more than one Cabinet Minister, and it is not improbable that, upon second consideration, the gal. lant officer will be induced to alter his mind. Bo this as it may, however, dispatches have been sent off to Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, in Scotland, offering him the vacant seat in the event of Sir William's ultt mate refusal. Captain Houston Stewart, C.B. (1817), has been ap pointed acting superintended pro tern, of Woolwich Dockyard, vice Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., appointed a Lord of the Admiralty, vice Commodore Sir F. A. Collier, K.C.H., Commander in Chief pro tem, of the Channel fleet. Captain Houston Stewart was made a Lieutenant in 1811, and commander in 1814. He was midshipman of the Imperieuse, and served in her boats in many of the gallant and daring exploits of Lord. Cochrane on the southern coast of France, and at Rosas in 1807-8. During the operations on the coast of Syria, and at the capture of Acre in 1840, he commanded the Benbow, 72. The gallant Captain arrived at Woolwich yesterday afternoon. Commodore Sir James J. Gordon Bremer, K.C.8., on leave of absence from the Channel fleet, has left town for Cork, to re-hoist his pendant on board the Queen. He left Portsmouth for Plymouth en route last evening. Captain Sir Watkin Owen Pell, Knight (1813), who lost his leg while midshipman of La Loire, at the cap ture of the French frigate Pallas, in 1800, who was ap pointed, in February, 1145, from the superintendentship . of Pembroke dockyard to Greenwich hospital, will have itthe vacant Commisaionership. . Sir Watkin's brother, the late Lord Pell, Esq., who inherited the fortune of the late Sergeant Pell, brought into Parliament the late Lord Althorp for Northampton. The pay of a Commis sioner is 6004 per annum, exclusive of perquisites. Capt. W. B. Dashwood (1818), who was senior lieutenant of the Active, and lost his arm at the capture of the French frigate Pomone, in 1811, commanded the Snap brig, and fought a gallant action with five luggers, capturing one, off St. Valery ' commanded the Prometh eus a t Al g i ers ; and Capt. F. Burgoyne (1815), have been named as likely to succeed Sir W. 0. Pell. THE PROMOTION AND RETIREMENT.--ArariOUS ru mours have been eirculated with respect to the consum mation of this much-to-be-desired measure of promotion and retirement, and anxious have been the hopes of the old officers that they will speedily receive that justice from the present Government so cruelly denied them by the late Administration, but to which refusal, however, we are assured their Board of Admiralty was no party. It has been extensively reported that the scheme is to be promulgated on Monday next, but there cannot be any grounds for expecting such an event so soon to take place. As a matter of course, the Admiralty must revise the proposed measure of their predecessors, and we believe in this work they are now sedulously engaged ; but as yet there is no senior naval Lord at the board, and whether it be Sir William Parker or Sir Charles Adam wo accepts the office it must undergo hi s revision and have his sanction. it cannot, therefore, be promulgated on Monday, but we have faith in the good intentions of the present board with re spect to the measure and in the weight of their recommendation to the Treasury, that it will be com pleted as soon as possible, and will not fall below that of the late board in liberality and extent. We have heard that Sir Charles Napier has recovered from his lethargy, and latterly has been most industriously employed in pushing on the adoption of some scheme of retirement and promotion in fact, that he will, on the naval estimates being brought for ward, raise a discussion on every vote, and divide the house on every item. We confidently believe that there will be no necessity for the execution of this threat, which, under the circumstances, may be deemed somewhat gratuitous. STEAMERS' BOATS.—The recent wreck of the Maiden City, near the Mull of Galloway, from which 110 per sons were providentially saved by the captain being enabled to run the ship on shore after she had struck on a rock, affords another proof of the necessity of adopting the recommendation of the committee on shipwrecks, that " all sea-going steamers should be provided with paddle-box safety-boats." To the fineness of the weather, and the assistance from the shore (which the steamer was fortunately enabled to reach in her sinking state), the passengers and crew, more than 100, owe their lives. In the Steam Navigation Bill now before Parliament, the boats to be carried by steamers are par ticularly alluded to, _ CHURCH FOR THE SEAMEN AT THE ISLE OF MAN.— The authorities having determined to erect a place of worship on shore for the seamen belonging to and fre quenting the Isle of man, the Admiralty, who some years since lent an old ship called the Industry for a floating chapel there, have most liberally given the vessel to them. The Industry will now be broken up, and the materials will be converted towards the con struction of the new church. THE ALBION'S SPARS AGAIN.—On the night of the 9th of June, after leaving Cork for Lisbon, the Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer, C. 8., from a shift of wind, was obliged to bow a head-sea, when she pitched so tremendously heavy (bowsprit completely under), that she sprung her maintopmast, which, however, she did not dare to shift until she arrived at Lisbon. Although the rent is from the trussel trees to the cap, they have bound it together with iron hoops, and have thus made the defective spar to serve. We shall have some little more to say about this ship shortly, and the manoeuvres on board.—Herald. BANK OF ENGLAND.

Mein lELD, FRIDAY. The nomination and re-election of the Hon. Colonel Anson, on his appointment as Clerk of the Ordnance, took place to-day. R.W. Hands, Esq., under-sheriff of the county, officiated as returning .officer. No opposition to the re-election of the Hon. and Gallant Colonel was offered. The nomination of the Hon. Member was pro posed by the lion. Eiward Littleton, who, after compli menting the Gallant Officer for his past services as a re presentative, proceeded to say, that though the all exciting and absorbing question of the corn-laws had now been, as was hoped, set at rest for ever, there was much that yet remained to be done, not only in regard to the sugar duties, but also in reference to the policy to be pursued by the Govern ment towards Ireland. The state of that country was described by the Hun. Gentleman as being a disgrace to the people of any country, more especially those of England, who looked upon it as a part of their own civilised nation. As to the people as a mass, they were ignorant, and sunk in poverty, while the external ap pearance of the abodes of the peasantry showed the squalor and wretchedness which prevailed within them. The crime of murder, too, he was sorry to say, in seine parts ut the country was not considered such a heinous elfenee as it should be, but what otherwise could be ex pected when the people were butlittlebetter than brutes ? Al ter expressing his confidence that the present Government would bring forward measures which would benefit the people of Ireland, and would also look with attention to the state of education, and the sanatory condition of the towns and villages of this country, the Lion. Gentleman concluded by proposing the Hon. Colonel George Anson as a fit and proper person, &c., anci retired amid loud applause. The Rev. T. 0. B. FLOYER seconded the nomination in a speech of some length, and remarkable for the latitudinarianism displayed by the speaker in reference to the question of national education. There being no other candidate nominated, the Hon. Colonel .Anson was declared duly elected. The Hon. Member was then about to address the electors, when C. J. Foster, Esq., late High Sheriff of the county, came forward and said it was not his inten• tion to offer any opposition on the present occasion ; on the contrary as a Conservative—a Conservative more in the literal than the party sense of the term—he begged to say that he rejoiced at the unanimity which had marked the proceedings of the day. Ho felt that any opposition to the Government at the r resent moment would be unfair to the ministry and injurious to the country.—(Loud cheers.) He rejoiced to see the unopposed elections throughout the kingdom, and he did hope, that now the opportunity was afforded them, they would think fit to bring forward measures that would tend to improve the social and moral condition of the people, and at the same time avoid any dangerous and anarchical measures.—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Col. Anson then addressed the electors at great length, and having thanked the electors for the honour they had again conferred on him, observed that by doing that they had not only sanctioned his indivi dual conduct, but also the coarse pursued by Lord John Russell during the last five years; and as well they had thus sanctioned the line of future policy so recently laid down.—(Hear, hear.) When they looked at the unopposed elections throughout the kingdom, it did appear that there was a general feeling that good principles and good measures were the basis upon which the present Government would act. After alluding to the course pursued by the Whigs while out of office, and the triumphant acknow ledgement of the soundness of their policy by Sir. R. Peel, the Hon. Gentleman proceeded to observe that no danger need be apprehended from the course that would be pursued by the Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government, as his past efforts had ever been to repair and amend existing insti tutions, not to destroy, them.—(Hear and cheers.) After thanking Sir Robert Peel for the great boon he had conferred upon this country by the measures of commercial policy, the Hon. Member proceeded to justify his course of conduct in voting against the Irish Coercion Bill—a measure which he denounced as unconstitutional, and for which no necessity had been shown, inasmuch as it had not been pretended. that the present laws had been carried to their full extent. After stating his opinion that no coercive measures, however stringent, would reconcile a people to bad govern ment, the Hon. Member maintained that the more effectual mode of destroying agitation, of quel ling bloodshed, and elevating the people of Ire land, would be to grant them the same political and municipal rights as were exercised by the people of Eng land, and by improving their social condition. The Hon. Member then briefly alluded to his intention of supporting a more liberal system of national education, as well as a due provision for the better regulation of the sanatory condition of towns and villages. On con ducing, the Hon. Member was asked whether, in the event of a Bill being proposed, qualifying parties to vote in borough elections where they paid a rental of 101., he would support it, and having answered in the affirmative, the Hon. Gentleman retired amid loud cheers. A vote of thanks to the Under-Sheriff was subsequently carried, and the proceedings terminated. HA YMARKET THEATRE. The Wonderful Water Cure—such is the title of a one act burlesque opera in which Madame Anna Thillon is drawing crowds every night to the Haymarket. The Wonderful Water Cure ! Ay, an admirable cure it is too for the blue devils—not that the water does much, for were it not for the spirit infused into it by the artists (including in the term author, composer, musicians, and actors), it would be as vapid as the veriest hydropathist could desire. This spirit—and it is indeed the spirit of fun—is administered in most anti-homeeopathic_doses, and it tittilates the midriff', producing a by no means unplea san t semi-conelusive action of the muscles, moving the ribs, and explodes in a roar of laughter, by which explosion the blue devils are blown to their namesake. The won derful water-cure is the most effective remedy extant for the spleen, and thus it is administered. The patient is supposed to be seated in a box at the Haymarket Thea tre. He is to keep his eyes fixed on the stage. The scene represents a country fair at night. There are two booths opposite each other—the one, the property of Dr. Tartaglia, the proprietor of the celebrated water cure ; the other, belonging to a certain Signor Belloni, his rival in every sense of the word. Our patient will then see a well-dressed young man, advancing upon tiptoe from the back of the stage, carrying an umbrella. He sings a serenade—that is Mr. Hudson, who acts the part of Signor Belloni. He is soon joined by one of the most lovely, fascinating creatures in the world, dressed in the most becoming costume, looking La Leese de l'Espieglerie, and singing in the most sparkling, dazzling, and coquettish style imaginable. That is Madame Anna Thillon, who acts the part of Argentine. It is soon evident that Argentine and Belloni are in love with each other ; but alas Argentine is the ward of the old quack doctor, Tartaglia, who is determined to make his ward his wife. Day breaks, and the lovers are interrupted. Tartaglia, the pompous quack enters and questions his ward. And who enacts Tartaglia ? No less a personage than the im mortal Paul Bedford, who, having had the good sense to prune down some of his Adelphian exuberances, makes the most glorious Quack Doctor in the world. The rustics assemble, Tartaglia mounts his stage, Argentine blows the trumpet, and the Doctor makes an oration, and the rustics buy the medicine. But behold an oppo sition. Belloni im the other side of the way, sports an equally wonderful water cure ; and if Tartaglia has Argentine and a trumpet, Belloni has Scare mouch and a gong. The scene is a rich one. The fair trumpeter is admirable, the quarrel is a very pretty quarrel; but at length Belloni is fairly driven out of the field. Like many a great hero, however, Tar taglia falls in the hour of his triumph, Cedant arma togce, and the victor in the fight becomes the victim of diplomacy. Argentine, his trusted minister has a secret understanding with the enemy. Belloni is seized with sudden illness. He has poisoned himself because his suit has been rejected by Argentine. Yet still he would fain leave her his whole property, consisting of 30,000 crowns. His danger is so im minent that there is no time to make a will. The Podesta, who has been sent for to unite her to Tartaglia, has a marriage-contract ready prepared. What can be easier than to insert the name of Belloni in the contract instead of that of Tartaglia, and then, as his widow, she will inherit the fortune which Tartaglia, as her second husband, will share with her? It is done, and, lot a miracle of hydropathy. Belloni drinks of the wonderful water, and is cured. Tartaglia—the Guizot of private life—at once accepts the fact, and by so accepting, effects sales of his medicine to an enormous extent. Is not this a wonderful water cure ? And has not our patient, who we have supposed seated in the boxes, been cured of the blue devils ? No doubt he has, and let all who are afflicted in the same manner try the wonderful water cure. Probatunz est. The music of this most amusing opera buffo is by Mr. Grisar, and is admirably characterestic. Every situation and every sen timent is accurately translated into the universal language; and so completely expressive is the music that it seems almost a work of supererogation to add words to it. As to the Argentine of Madame Anna Thillon it is perfect. Nothing could be more brilliant or expressive than her singing, nothing more arch than her acting. She was a female Figaro. The applause throughout was most enthusiastic, and at the fall of the curtain, when in obedience to the call of the audience, she was led forward by Hudson and Paul Bedford, wreaths and bouquets innumerable were showered upon her. Among these floral offerings were two exquisitely formed crowns; a most fitting tribute to her who is the living representative of two of the muses. The one was for Thalia—the other for Polyhymnia. FRENCH PLAYS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The third of the performances of Mademoiselle Rachel took place last evening. The play chosen was The Cid of Corneille—that tragedy which, condemned by Cardinal Richelieu, was yet approved of by the whole of Prance, and the production of which secured to the great Corneille an immortality. The story of the play is taken from the Spanish, and, albeit, it is treated) classically, the plot itself is essentially of the romantic school. From the time of the production of Le Cid, Corneille tended more and more towards classicism a most fortunate thing for the Viscount Victor Hugo, for had the tendency of the great Corneille been towards romanticism the learned Viscount would have been forestalled, in which case, perhaps, he would have come out as the reviver of the classical drama, and have given us a " Cinna" instead of an " Hernani." Mademoiselle Rachel acted the part of Chimene, the diughter of Don Gomez, who is betrothed to Don Rodrigue, the Cid. The father of the Cid is an old man, and Don Gomez pointedly offers him the most deadly in sult. Called on to protect the honour of his house, Don Rodrigue challenges the insulter of his father to mortal com bat, and Don Gomez falls. The love of Chimene for the Cid is turned to hatred—she loudly demands the death of him why slew he; father According to gie laws of chiTalry RAILWAY RETURNS.

CORNWALL.—WEST CORNWALL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Elliot, a chemist, druggist, and wholesale grocer at Liskeard, gave evidence as to the requirements of the district traversed by the line, and as to the benefits to be expected from the formation of the line. On the conclusion of this witness's evidence a conversation of a discursive character took place between Mr. Austin and Mr. Rowe, who appeared for the petitioners. After this, Mr. Fox, a merchant carrying on business at Plymouth, gave evidence as to the great existing traffic, which, he said, would be much increased by the forma tion of the line. He also spoke to the general feeling in favour of the line. Being a member of the Town Council of Plymouth, he was well acquainted with the opinions of the members of that body, and he could say they were decidedly in favour of this line. The witness was cress-examined by Mr. Rowe at great length, and in the course of his cross-examination admitted that he was a shareholder in the South Devon, and as such was interested in the formation of this line, which would cause a great increase in the traffic of the South Devon. Mr. Fortescue, a landed proprietor between Liskeard and Lostwithiel, was next called. His evidence also was of a ge neral character. Here a desultory argument took place between Mr. Rowe and Mr. Talbot as to the propriety of certain questions re ferring to the " central traffic," that is, the traffic in the interior of the country. The Committee, after hearing both counsel talking together for about half an hour, deter mined to leave the central communication an open question for the present. Mr. Brunel gave evidence with respect to the renewed survey of the line made by himself after the original Bill had been thrown out in the session of 1845, and also as to the general merits of the line. Notwithstanding the steep ness of some of the gradients, the line could very well be worked, and would most certainly pay. The line was in most respects the same as that of last year, and he thought any line that might be made through this district must oc cupy very nearly the same ground as this would. The curves and gradients were much more favourable on this line than on that originally proposed. The curves were such as not only could be worked, but in fact were worked every day on many existing lines. The gradients on the old line were in some cases as steep as 1 in 40, but on this there were none steeper than 1 in 60. He thought both curves and gradients were such as might very well be worked consistently with the interests of the Company in a commercial point of view, and con sistently with the safety and convenience of the public. The total length of the main line was 63 miles. That of the Bodmin and Padstow branch was 16 miles. The total esti mate was 160,0001. This was the estimate submitted to the House of Commons, and had been maintained, notwith standing the reduction of the probable cost by the throwing out of a branch called the Launceston or Double Boys Branch. The crossing of the Hamoaze, which was objected to by Lord Ellenborough's Committee of last year, had been avoided. Cross-examined by Mr. COCKBußN—Recommended the Launceston branches to the Commons' Committee as highly important, as the best th at coul d be made to that place, and which great advantages would e following list of gradients opinion, re as sA o ul n l rt e .. c‘ from oNvci s t ug h tu e i motfahktehi then read making ea of amd e on the Launceston branch, which Mr. Brunel admitted to be correct :—Level, 3 miles, 9 chains ; 1 in 120, 1 furlong, 8 chains ; one in 100, 7 furlongs, 1 chain ; 1 in 80, 4 furlongs, 8 chains; . 1 67 , 5 furlongs 4 chains; lin 63, 2 miles, 7 chains ; 1 in 62, 1 mile, 7 furlongs 6 chains ; 1 in 60, 9 :miles, 2 furlongs—making, altogether, 18 miles, 4 furlongs, 7 chains. The Learned Counsel also read a statement of the curves on the Launceston branch. There were on the part of the Bodmin and Padstow bran c h, b e t ween Clynn-bridge (where it leaves the main line) an d B o dmin—the length of which was three miles and three quarters—gradients of lin 60, lin 57, and lin 50. The Learned Counsel then gradients en the main line (whi c h are f a r too lengthy f or carriedin sertion our coluthroughmns). N a series of details of the otwithstanding the steepness of the gradients and steepness of the curves, a speed of 40 or 50 miles an hour could easily be obtained. That was the speed at which it was intended to work the line. The height at which the line crossed the river Tamar, at Saltash, was according to the sections, 80 or 85 feet above high water mean mark, but he thought it more likely that it would be made at about 95 feet. That could very well be done, as the landowners were all assenting. The Admiralty had agreed to the making of the bridge at 85 feet; but it was more likely that it would be made at 95. Even if some of the landowners should object there was nothing to prevent the Company from making the arch at ninety or ninety-five feet above high-water mark. There were no piers. At this point the CHAIRMAN announced that it was past four o'clock, and the Committee must therefore rise. They accordingly rose and adjourned till Monday, to which day the further cross-examination of Mr. Brunel is postponed. 1 Room D. GLASGOW, numminzzs, AND CARLISLE.

PRICE OF SUGAR. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, the pro.. duce of the British possessions in America, computed from the returns made in the week ending July 14, 1846, is 345. 6% d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of July 17.) SUGAR.—To-day there was an increased disinclination manifested by Grocers and Refiners to operate in West India Sugar, in consequence of what transpired in the House of Commons last evening with respect to the Sugar Duties. The business transacted in all kinds was extremely limited, and the quantity sold did not exceed 200 hhds and tree. Refining kinds have generally brought prices equal to those of last Friday, but grocery sorts must be quoted at 6d per cwt cheaper. REFINED.—To. day Refined Sugar was in good demand for home consumption ; standard lumps could not be obtained under 68s, and low brown lumps under 60s 6d, and the re finers show more firmness. The market for bonded Crushed Sugar is quiet. DlAuarnus.—There has been little desire evinced to ope rate privately in any description, and 5,287 bags 2 casks at public sale this afternoon went at prices is to 2s per cwt under those of the last auction, but the whole sold. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 917 bags of Madras Sugar brought to public sale, and nearly all taken in at about the former value. In Bengal there is little done, and former rates are not to be obtained. FOREIGN.—For yellow and brown Havannah there has been a falling off in the demand, but holders evince firmness, and insist upon fully previous rates. White is held for the former currency, but the purchases made have not been of much consequence, MOLASSES.—West India have met with little attention, and 154 puns 17 hhds 23 casks of Barbadoes at auction were taken in at 27s Gd, and 21 puns of St. Lucia at 23s 6d. COFFEE.—To- day there was more desire evinced to buy Mocha Coffee, and .535 bales 251% bales at auction were all sold at full market rates; 347 bags of Plantation Ceylon were nearly all taken in at stiffer rates. CocoA.—The best descriptions of West India have been purchased with more freedom, and in consequence of the small supply previous rates are well supported; but for the low sorts reduced prices have been accepted. TE.4..-1n consequence of lower rates having been submit ted to for all kinds of Gunpowder, buyers have been induced to operate with more freedom, and large parcels were dis posed of. Imperial has declined in value, but several par cels have been sold. Twankay has met with little attention, and prices are looking down. Hyson has met with little attention, but holders generally are unwilling to reduce their prices. There are few orders for Young Hyson, and prices are drooping. Hyson Skin is little wanted. Scented Orange Pekoe is dull of sale, and holders experience difficulty in getting more than 2s per lb for fine. Holders of Black are reluctant to reduce their prices, and supply the market spar ingly, but the trade have shown little desire to operate. Cociumn.—Arrivals having commenced to come in more freely have caused merchants to be desirous to realise this week, and they having supplied the market largely, has pro duced a decline on former rates of 3d to 6d on silvers, and 4d to 8d on black. IlicE.—The demand has fallen off for Bengal, and the market coatinuing to be freely supplied, prices have slightly given way. Madras, however, has met with attention, and the parcels sold privately were at previous rates. Of Java there is yet little in the market. Prices do not improve for Cleaned Rice, but the demand has been good. SPICES.—To-day Malabar Pepper was purchased with caution, and 4,000 bags at auction were all taken in at the full worth. For Cinnamon the demand is brisker and prices are firmer. Syntrrs.—There has been less demand for Leeward Island, but holders remain firm. In Calcutta little business has been done. For Jamaica of all kinds the market has been in an active state this week, but in the value little variation baa occurred. Demerara is held with firmness. Brandy has been purchased with increased freedom, and prices are advancing for all descriptions. Geneva has been less in demand, and lower rates are taken. For British Corn Spirits prices remain. the same. humGo.—To-day during the progress of the sale 727 chests were withdrawn. The quantity which passed the sale this day is 898 chests. There is no material alteration to notice in the prices of consuming and middling to good shipping qualities, which are in good demand, but very tine sorts are decidedly cheaper. Oils. —A reduction on previous rates of 10s per tun having been submitted to for Seal Oil, tempted buyers to operate with more freedom. Cod is little wanted; there are sellers at 281. Southern been purchased with caution, notwithstanding the cheapness of all descriptions. Sperm at present cannot be quoted cheaper. For Rape Seed Oil reduced rates have been taken, and the supply is large. Linseed Oil has met with little attention on the spot, and crushers experience difficulty in supporting prices. TALLow.—This afternoon at public sale 128 casks of Aus tralian Tallow were sold, 30 casks South American, 37 casks 65 barrels North, 97 casks first sort P.Y.C. taken in, and 32 casks Italian sold at lower prices. sTATUE of SIR R. PEEL THE EDITOR OF THE SUN . sra,—As I believe you are as much the organ of the free traders in the country as the M orn i ng Ad vertiser is in London, I wish to state through y ou , th at my house will be NATIONAL open for penny subscriptions to the statue of Sir Robert Peel, and that my customers in the army are anxious to show that they have their obligations as citizens as well as their duties as soldiers.—l am, Sir, &c., 'ALEXANDER SPENCE, Earl of Chatham's Arms, Thomas-street, Woolwich. July 16, 1846. DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER SAILOR GIRL IN LIVERPOOL. —Cases of this description are are now becoming so general that they cease to excite much interest. Yesterday a very beautiful female, about seventeen years of age, was detected in the act of passing herself off as a sailor on board one of our merchant vessels. It appears she came here from Omagh, in Ireland, and that having habited herself in sailor's attire, she went upon the G eorge ' s Pi er. H ere she met with a person in the garb of a captain, who said that he was willing to engage her upon the instant. With the cap tain she slept two nights, without his ever discovering her sex ; but upon Tuesday evening last, herself and the captain walked into the Police- office, High. street, to inquire after the name of a person residing in Bolton-street, and the n th e pre tended female sailor was immediately recognised by M r . Leicester, the head clerk in the office. He inst an tl y sa id t h at she was a female, and it turned out that he was right; for, upon being questioned, she acknowledged that she was a farmer's daughter from Tyrone, and that she came here in sailor's attire, with the intention of going to sea. She is at present in a lodging-house at the top of Dale-street, and will be sent back to her parents without delay.—Gore's Liverpool Advertiser. Mn. " WYNDIIAM " AGAlN.—lntelligence has just bean received of some further " doings," of Mr. "Wyndham," whose swindling operations were successful in 'Windsor some weeks ago. It appears that shortly after he left Slough he proceed to the Royal Sussex Hotel, at Tonbridge Wells, where he mixed in all the fashionable gaieties of the place for between four and five weeks, assuming the name of Wel lesley. On the eve of his departure he called for his bill. which amounted to about 301. He then very coolly drew a cheque on a Gloucestershire bank for 501., and requested Mr. Dowsing, the superintendent of the establishment, to give him the difference in cash. Some little delay, however, having taken place before the waiter returned to his room with the expected change, it is supposed that the swindler's suspicions were excited, for he immediately left the hotel. and no tidings have since been heard of him. The 501. cheque, which remains in the hands of Mr. Dowsing, upon being compared with the two cheques held by Mr. Dotesio, appeared clearly to be in the handwriting of the party who assumed the name of '• Wyndham" at Windsor and Slough. He, made his exit from the Royal Sussex Hotel so rapidly that he left behind him his portmanteau, and took nothing with him but the clothes which he wore. It is supposed that he immediately left Tonbridge Wells by the railway fot toWit•
