The Coffe r 's wifirzhas inquest on the unfortunate soldier charged their d utycon c luded its labours—the jury have div a manner alike honourable to themselves and benefi cial in c . ial to the community. It was their constitution a l afict the cause which vilege to declare by their ver „metro t . he , death of the person respecting whom they of t e he T . lpanelled, and also to express their opinion injurious tendency of an y practice which, although per se, yet lead to injurious and fata y l l_ re e t s g h u e a l i ts. They might have lo have spoken out manfully and nobl re corded their own deliberate and solemn convictions the subject, and have called upon the British peopl e to to join heart and hand for the purpose of removing the stain and disgrace inflicted on them by g so vile a practice being sanctioned in their country. The following is a copy of the verdict of the jury, which should be circulated through all parts of the kingdom, to which every man of feeling and hu manity should take every possible means of giving publicity in his own immediate neighbourhood, so that there would not, within a few short days, be a single individual throughout the length and breadth of the land who would not be made acquainted with the finding of a con scientious jury, given under the obligation of an oath, and have afforded to him an opportunity of comply rig with the appeal thereby made, and recording his protest against the atrocious system, and his prayer for its abolition, viz.:— " The jury do say that Frederick John White died on the 11th of July, 1846, from the mortal effects of the severe and cruel flogging which he received on the 15th day of June, in the Cavalry . Barracks, Hounslow; that the same flogging was inflicted on him under sentence passed by a district court-martial composed of officers of the Regiment of the 7th Hussars, and duly constituted for the trial of the said Frederick John White, &c. And on returning the verdict, the jury cannot refrain from expressing their horror and disgust at any law among the statutes or regulations of this realm which permits the revolting punish ment of flogging to be inflicted on British soldiers ; and at the same time the jury would call upon every man in this kingdom to join heart and hand in sending petitions to the British Legislature praying for the abolition of every law and regulation which permits the degrading' practice of flogging to remain one moment a slur on the humanity and fair name of the people of this country." The jury manifestly could not have returned a verdict inculpating any of the military authorities. The law itself which sanctions the frightful barbarity is the target against which the weapon must be directed. Everything was done strictly according to rule and to precedent. The court-martial was regularly constituted, although it is certainly rather a curious circumstance that, being a district court-mar tial, every single member of it belonged to the same regiment as the prisoner himself, and it might as well have been called a regimental court-martial, but for one little point of difference, viz., that by being dignified, with the title of "district," although really " regimental," they were enabled to order the infliction of fifty lashes more than would otherwise have been within their power to adjudge, a privilege of which they availed them selves to the utmost extent, and which the merciful Colonel WHYTE took care should be most punctually inflicted without curtailment or diminution. The un• fortunate man pleaded guilty to the charges on which he was arraigned before this court, he attempted not to deny his offence, but he put in a respectful and manly letter, written in a style far beyond that which could have been expected from a private soldier, and which, as well as the letter to his brother, bears the clearest testimony that his education and habits of life belonged to a class far beyond that in which his wretched career was brought to a premature termination. This at tempted extenuation, although we venture to say that it would not have been lost on any of our venerable Judges, was wholly without effect on his judges, who forthwith sentenced him to the very highest punishment within their power, and added to their finding a clause wholly unneces sary, and we believe unusual—one which must have had the effect of preventing any exercise of mercy on the part of the Commander-in-Chief--we mean that part which speaks of the conduct of the unhappy man, in these words :—" And taking into consideration his general bad character, particularly towards his superiors, does now sentence him," &c., &C. We know not what may have been the evidence laid before the court to warrant this addition to their verdict, but it is most undoubtedly at variance with that which was adduced before the Coroner's inquest. Sergeant DA LET himself, the person who had been assaulted by WHITE, gave his opinion that "he was a man that knew himself very well, and in fact, a superior and respectable man, by no means an habi tual drunkard." Now, if this evidence be correct, and we see no reason to doubt its being so to the fullest extent—indeed, it was corroborated by that of all the other witnesses who were interrogated on the point, we think it is due to the surviving relatives of the victim—nay, more, we think it due to the characters of the officers who constituted that court martial—that the grounds which led to that clause in their finding should be fully stated and set forth. The letter of poor, unhappy, heart-broken WHITE to his brother, written ten days after the flogging, shows that his mind was more lacerated than his body ; it testifies the existence of that_wretched, de sponding, spiritless state which almost every writer has stated to be the result of corporal punishment, leading to the adoption of habits of intoxication and recklessness, the total abandonment of every hope—nay, of every desire for advancement in the service ; it speaks trumpet-tongued against a system which could induce such a state of feeling. The most eloquent and powerful denouncer of the practise could not write with half the effect which is pro duced by the few siraple sentences of the lashed soldier speaking unconsciously of the sensa tion his confidential communication to his brother was likely to produce at a future period ; he says, " I am very unwell, and feel disgusted with the service, but you need not tell mother so, fur she would only fret." Again : " I had formed a reso lution to commit mischief, but, thank Gon, I have for the present altered my mind. I have not that con fidence in myself I used to have. My star of destiny frowns at me, and everything goes wrong. Your letters give me a consolation generally, but I cannot venture to read them always, for I am very near approaching to LUNACY at times. I am an old man now to what I was, and what a few more years will make me I am afraid to guess it?' Poor creature ! a few short days had indeed produced a fearful change in his feelings and prospects, and the pouring forth of his heart necessarily recorded the gloomy forebodings which he must have felt. The want of interest, that hopelessness of feeling which nothing can for a moment excite or banish, is well expressed in the following :—" I have not seen Lon don yet, nor shall I, unless I change my mind. Every one there is lost to me now." Again : " I hope you will keep quiet to mother that I am ill, for her sake. You must excuse my faults, and forgive my failings, for I cannot help them ;fate wills my proceedings, and I must go with the tide. My paper is short, and I must cut short my tale of woe, and resume my most horrid and wretched duty of a soldier." Poor fellow his sufferings, both of mind and body, have been, indeed, most frightful; but few, by their deaths, will have achieved so great a benefit to thousands. It cannot be doubted but that the appeal of the jury will be fully re sponded to; neither can there be a doubt of the happy issue of the agitation and petitions there indicated; but we sincerely trust that the public will not restrict themselves to its abolition in the army. Let our naval brethren also have the benefit of their exertions—their prayers ; and let not the unfortunate JAMES SAYER be forgotten, who now pines in anguish, awaiting the infliction of his sentence of 'death, death certainly in a milder form—the more humane naval court-martial having merely ordered him to be hanged for striking his sergeant, by which his suffer ings will be more speedily terminated than if he were sentenced to the lingering and painful, intensely pain ful, death under the still more degrading lash. Government has explicitly divulged its intentions with reference to Irish legislation. We are sincerely rejoiced at this circumstance, as the explanation of the Premier and the Secretary for Ireland will be productive of very considerable advantage to the population of these islands. It will alleviate that hope deferred which maketh the heart sick among our fellow-countrymen across St. George's Channel ; it will allay a thousand anxieties in their regard among the other inhabitants of Great Britain, and it will impart stability to the new Administration on a matter with which the popularity of the Cabinet is most inextricably associated. If one sentiment is at this moment more prevalent than another throughout this empire, it is a sentiment of cordial sympathy with Irish sufferings, a sentiment of honest indignation at her protracted misrule, a sentiment of ear nest anxiety to co-operate with her leading patriots in the adjustment of her embarrassments and in the organisation of her social and political machinery. That some concessions were requisite in reference to this integral portion of the British dominions has long been manifest. The de. claration made by Sir R. PV.EL on his accession to office, that Ireland would - priwe his greatest difficulty, the precipitation of the five• trade measures in con sequence of the potato fl amine of November and De ceimtatr,th and e pertinacity of the repeal c r y , the cala mparoxysm wholesale r ejectments of tenantry , the commercial apathy and commercial excitement which have alternated with such alarm ing rapidity in that comma .nits — have all demonstrated the existence of more ,an o ne monster grievance, and have clamoured lorab and imperatively for the amelioration of Hibernia n distress. Anything that would tend to consolidate the vigour of our sister island, that would insure the happiness of her chil dren, that would promot4 mercantile and agricultural activity among her unen iployed labourers, and render them satisfied of the sincere good-will and fraternal affection of England, w ould not merely conduce to THE SUN, LONDON, the happiness and prosperity of Ireland, but would stabilitate to an eminent degree the happiness, the prosperity, the security, the tranquility, and the more extended civilisation of the millions who are bound together in allegiance to the sceptre of VICTORIA. Not only is this comprehensive and liberal reform , demanded in justice, not only are we called upon to make such a reparation for wrongs heaped upon a confiding and deluded race ever since the act of legislative union passed by the Imperial Parliament at the commencement of the present century—but our own self-interest, our own aggrandizement, our own peace of mind, plead for the alteration in voices that cannot brook a denial. Never since the revolt of the Roman Plebeians did the ancient fable of the body and its members afford such an analogous application to the government of a country than at this juncture, and in reference to Ireland. What was applied to the illustration of the necessity of unanimity among the various classes in the eternal city might, with a similar appositeness, be applied to the illustration of the necessity for the unanimity among the various divisions of the British dominions, the limbs of the British empire. Without a cordial reciprocity between those limbs, without the most impartial regard to the moral and corporeal health of all, the entire constitution cannot avoid falling into a lamentable state of disorganization. The func tions would become deranged, and either an unnatural sluggishness, or an unnatural excitement, be the con sequence. To the source of the vitality and the seat of the presiding sentience of the con stitution—in other words, to the Parliamentary and Government officers we look for the removal of whatever maladies have already appeared, and for the accurate adjustment of all differences. Ireland still continues to be the great Ministerial difficulty, but under the guidance of an enlightened policy. and impelled forward by the accordance of popular opinion, we are sanguine that this great diffi culty is now on the eve of being definitely and per manently vanquished. Thanks to Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, we are enabled to form some estimate of the intentions of the present Administration with reference to Ireland. In answer to the inquiries of the Hon. Member for Rochdale, Lord JOHN RUSSELL has revealed the resolutions on this most important subject at which he has arrived, after mature deliberation. Con sidering the miseries which will transpire meanwhile, through the postponement of any Parliamentary measure for the protection of the interests of the Irish tenantry, we . are deeply grieved to find that the Premier objects to the intro duction of some temporary measures ; but we are re joiced at the delay, considering the yet greater evils which might possibly arise from the precipitate adop tion of any assuaging enactments. " Why, fly from ills we have, To others we know not of?" Nevertheless, for our solace during this requisite in terval, the Prime Minister has pledged himself to in troduce a Bill relating to the landlord and tenant interests of Ireland "at the very commencement of the next session." And, according to the announce ment of Mr. LABOUCIIERE, it was likewise the inten tion of her MAJESTY'S Ministers to struggle for the adoption of six other Bills, relating to the exclusive privilege of trading, to the rating of property, to ejectments, fisheries, district lunatic asylums, and the encouragement of public baths and washhouses in Ireland. Nothing, of course, can be expected in the miserable remnant (of scarcely three weeks) which yet remains of the eventful session of 1846. With such a programme, however, as the foregoing, we may safely anticipate the arrival of brighter days for Ireland, and the prevention of all further squabbles among the adherents of her veteran Liberator. The King of the Two SICILIES, accompanied by the Royal Family and a numerous suite, and guarded by a squadron of eleven ships-of-war, arrived at Palermo on the Morning of the 11th ult., to be present at the fete of St. Rosalie. His MAJESTY, following the ex ample of the PoPE, has dissolved the Military Com mission for the trial of State prisoners. The Assembly of States of Holstein, in their sit ting of the 24th of July, adopted by a majority of 44 to 2 an address to the King of DENMARK protesting against his letter patent of the Bth July on the sub ject of the succession to the Throne. The Govern ment, in opening the States, forbade them to receive petitions on this subject, and the States also protest against this interference with the right of petition. Letters from Vienna of the 20th of July state that the Austrian Government intends forming a line of railway from Milan through the Tyrol to the Danube, which will be continued across the valleys of the Etch and the Inn, and will terminate at Braunau. This will give the advantage of railway communication to the three principal towns of the Tyrol—Trent, Botzen, and Innspruck. Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have been received. The Eco del Comercio of the preceding day had been seized by the authorities. According to the _Herald°, IBRAHIM PACHA was expected to visit Malaga. The Governor of Gibraltar and his suite paid a visit to Ceuta on the 17th. There was a report in Madrid that, in conse quence of the representations of the Portuguese Government, GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled from Lisbon. MADRID BOMA, JULY 28.—The Three per Cents. 34 :34V 8 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 21% 3 % for cash; Debt without Interest at 6%. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. _ _ They are filled with the details of the preliminary operations of the elections, such as the choosing scru tineers, assessors, &c., which took place on Saturday. The elections took place on Sunday, and, as far as can be hitherto ascertained, the result has been favourable to the Ministry. The Opposition made strenuous effbrts to carry the first electoral college in Paris. Their candidate was General LAMORICIERE, whose successes in Algiers have rendered him exceedingly popular. He is about to be connected by marriage with the family of M. TRIERS ; and M. ODILLON BARROT published an address to the electors, strongly recommending them to choose General LAMORICIERE. Notwithstanding all the influence thus used notwithstanding the pres tige attached to his name, General L it- MORICIERB has been defeated by M. Cast- MIR EERIER, the Ministerial candidate. In Paris the Ministers have gained one seat from the Op position, and in the country, as far as the results are known, they have been equally successful. M. GRAS DE NEVILLE, the Father of the Chamber, a Legitimist has been ousted at Tarrascon by M. GASPARIN, a Ministerialist. At Nismes, M. BICHARD, a Legitimist, is replaced by General FEUCHERES, a Ministerialist. Both these are Ministerial gains. The Ministry gains two votes at Toulouse. In the third college of that city a Ministerialist replaces an opposition Deputy without a contest, and the first college the mayor of the town, a Minis terialist, has beat M. JOLY, one of the leaders of the Republican party, who was the former Deputy. At Cherbourg, General MESLIS, a Ministerialist, replaces the old Opposition Deputy, and in the third college of Lille a Ministerialist has gained the seat, which for merly belonged to the Opposition. The Ministers also gain a vote at Douay and another at Dieppe, while at Orsen, M. SALYANDY, the Minister of Public Instruc tion, has defeated M.DUPON T DE L'EuRE, the celebrated Opposition leader. The results of 74 elections were known in Paris when the latest accounts left. In these elections the Ministerial gain has been nine seats. Ministerialists have replaced Opposition De puties in ten instances, while in one instance only (at Rouen) has an Opposition candidate ousted the former Ministerial Member. The re-elections have been 36 Ministerialists and 27 Deputies of the Opposition. On Saturday considerable alarm was created in Paris by rumours of the death of the KING. Accord ing to one account his MAJESTY had had a fit of apoplexy ; according to another he had been fired at and wounded, and the Due n'AustA.Ln had been killed at his side. A delay in the publica tion of the Ministerial evening paper, the Messager, contributed to increase the excite ment, as it was considered confirmatory of the truth of the rumours. th peared, and contained eAf following l lowi length, ng however, te legr api i ict dis patch, -- delayedpa tch , for : , , t h A e a t r e r l i e v g a r l a of ph i w e li d i i c s h p a i t t e h h afdroprobmEaub,lydbaeteedn this day, half-past two o'clock, announces that the KING was in perfect health.

It is generally considered that these rumours, which produced most disastrous effects on the markets, originated in persons connected with the Bourse, who had some stockjobbing purposes to serve by their propagation. The Chancellor of France has convened the Cham ber of Peers for Friday, the 7th August, to take the necessary preliminary steps to forming itself into a Court for the trial of HENRY.

EVANS AND OTHERS. _ The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the decree of Sir Edward Sugden, the late Lord Chancellor of Ireland, occupied their Lordships the whole day. The case has already taken up several days in argument, and appears likely to last a day or two more. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BEIRCIIELI..) PARKER V. SPELLER. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 111. 03. Gd., for work done by the plaintiff as a surveyor. It appeared by the evidence that the defendant had entered into a contract to build a crescent at Westbourne-.green, and the plaintiff was engaged to draw out the plans, but it was alleged that Mr. Wood, who was the owner of the land, had promised to make a present of the plans, but after some time, defendant finding himself unable to carry out the speculation, he forfeited 2001., and gave it up, and he now denied having employed the plaintiff. Mr. Wood, however, positively swore that he introduced the parties, and after the action was brought he told defendant that he thought him very foolish to go on, as his (witness's) evidence would put him out of Court, and defendant replied that he had told his attorney to stop the proceedings; but they said the greater part of the costs had been incurred, and they would go on on their own responsibility. The UNDER-SHERIFF said, that if they believed Mr. Wood the case was clearly made out. The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.). Michael Dempsey, an Irishman, was charged by police sergeant Matthews, F 10, with being drunk and di,orderly in Holborn. The sergeant stated that he found the prisoner drunk on his beat in Holborn, and proceeded to take him into custody. The prisoner resisted violently, but with the assistance of another constable he took him to the station. The prisoner said he could bring conclusive evidence to show that he "didn't assault or insult the policeman at all, at all," but that the latter attacked him most unwarrantably, and that he did not make any resistance. The witness who was to give this "conclusive evidence" then came forward, and said that he saw the prisoner and his wife fighting a day or two ago, and that he thought the wife was altogether in the wrong. Mr. JARDINE—But what do you know about what occurred last night ? Witness—Last night, is it, sir ? Faith, I know nothing at all about it, sir, not the laste ! But I was present when the row was with him and his wife. The inspector here explained to the magistrate that there was a warrant against the prisoner for an assault on his wife, and that it was in reference to this statement the wit ness was prepared to give evidence. Mr. JARDINE—Your conclusive evidence does not much avail you. However, as this is your first offence, and the assault is not a very serious one, I will discharge you this time; if you do anything of the same kind again I will fine you. The prisoner's wife then appeared in Court and withdrew the warrant, on his paying the costs, and promising " not to whop her any more."

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.— It is now the general opinion that Parliament will be prorogued on Tues day, the 25th instant, or Thursday, the 27th, but, of course, the precise day cannot at present be known. THE BATHS AND WASHHOUSES IN THE HAmPsTEAD aoan.—The " North-West District Baths and Wash houses for the Labouring Classes," which have lately been erected at the base of the Reservoir, in the Hampstead road, were yesterday opened to the public. They were opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and were full from that time till 9at night, when they were closed. A crowd of men and boys were in waiting the whole of the day at the men's entrance in George-street, it being found impossible to give them all accommodation as they arrived. Upwards of 600 persons had use of the men's baths. The women's baths and washhouses were also filled, but not to the same extent as the men's baths. The plunging baths would have been in use but for a leakage, which was not discovered in time to be repaired. They will be in use as soon as they can be re paired. The baths were opened this morning at 5 o'clock, and from that time up to the time our informant left the spot they were crowded, and a number of persons remained outside, waiting till room should be made for them. The washhouses were also in full operation. It was necessary yesterday, in order to accommodate the crowds that at tended, to use some of the second-class baths as third-class. MIDDLE-ROW, HOLBORN.—Several correspondents nEtbcelredesiding at have addressed letters to us on the very bad condition of all the houses of Middle- row, as well as of the two that fell down the night before lest. They state that for a considerable period it bas been expected that all Middle-row would be pulled down, as it stands much in the way, and that conse quently needful repairs have not been executed. The two houses fell from decay, and the other houses, we are told, are likely soon to follow. Our correspondents complain much of the improvement commissioners for not having before now purchased and removed the whole unsightly row. EAST LONDON WATERWORKS COMPANL—The Directors of this Company have given orders to allow water from their pipes to flow for the present through close and confined alleys and courts, for the purpose of cleansing them, between the hours of eleven P.m., and four A. u., and have, through their secretary, informed the parish authorities of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Norton Folgate, Mile-end Old Town, St. George in the East, Limehouse, Napping. Mile end New Town, Ratcliffe, Shadwell, Poplar, Ilacknev, Bow, Bromley, Bethnal-green, and Shoreditch, of this arrange ment, stating at the same time that the Company's officers have been instructed to afford all practicable facilities in furtherance of the object in view—promoting cleanliness, and assisting to prevent disease. This arrangement has been made without any application having been addressed to the Board on the subject, and affords an example which we trust will be followed by all the other great metropolitan companies. EASTERN FORFARSHIRE FARMING ASSOCIATION. — The autumn show of this society took place at Glesterlaw on Tuesday last, and was attended by a number of the pro prietorsed and tenantry of the county.

ASSOCIATION on the ground till a late hour of the ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING CLEANLINESS AMONG Ord Panm (o u n re si e d v b THE Poost.—Yesterday the Committee of the above Asso ciation made their fi rs t annual report. T his establishment is situate in Glass-house-yard, East Smithfield, consisting of free baths and washhouse for the poor. During the past year the bathers were 27,662 • washers, 35,480 ; ironers, 4,522 ; total, 67,664. Fur 63,142 bathers and washer', the cost was 337/. l7s. 9d., being less than three halfpence each individual; for the 4,522 ironers, 4/. 55., being less than one farthing a head. The bathing arrangements are unexcep• tionable as regards privacy. and decorum. This is a most gratifying portion of the institution, as the very poorest may now bathe with as much self-respect, and as effectually, AI those in more affluent circumstances. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS: CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was active, the principal sales being to the trade. Sales, about 10,C00 bales.—Shares were steady. So serious have been the losses sustained by the market gardeners and florists by the late storm, that, without some extraneous aid, hundreds of industrious, and in their pro fession, able men, must be consigned to ruin. Not only have a large number of the parties so situated lost glass, but their valuable plants have, in the great majority . of in stances, been entirely destroyed. A number of influential persons in the southern parts of London (where the storm proved most disastrous) have taken the subject up, and a meeting has been convened to consider the best course to be pursued to relieve the sufferers, which is appointed to be held this evening at the Swan Hotel, at Stockwell. There has been some attention directed in the Bankers' Maga zinc to the convenience of bankers' drafts as substitutes for Post-officeorders. Jealous, and not, perhaps, without reason, of the extraordinary increase in the amount of Post-office orders granted, the private bankers have been, in some cases, turn ing their attention to the matter with a view to ascertain if they cannot participate in the profits. At best, however, the public could never by such means possess tie same faci lities as under the almost universal system brought to bear under the peculiar agency of the Post-office. For particular localities, however, and for amounts above those which the Post-office will grant in one order, no doubt the provincial bankers can make themselves very useful, and perhaps at the same time enhance their their own profits a little. It is suggested that a party wishing to send 151. 2s. 6d. from Derby to Beccles, might be accommodated in the subjoined form, which could be used as a re. • tance by the Beccles bask to Glyn and Co., who would V p the draught : " No. erhy, July 18, 1846. "Messrs. Smith, Payne and Smith, London." " Gentlemen,—Please to credit Messrs. Glyn and Co. with fifteen pounds two shillings and sixpence, which charge to account of your obedient servants, " £l5 2s. 6d. " W. and S. EVANS. (Crossed) " Messrs. Lacon and Co., Beccles." " No. " London, July 23, 1846. " Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith. " Pay bearer fifteen pounds two shillings and sixpence, as per credit from Evans and Co. " £l5 2s. Cd. " GLYN and CO." The charge of % per cent. for the letter, and 1 / 8 for cashing, the credit would, it is said, be sufficient remuneration to the banker, and to their customers no charge need be made. The Stock Market, although rather dull, continues very firm, and the only security which at present exhibits any weakness is Exchequer-bills, the premium being down to lls. and 7s. Money is in some request, but the main cause of the decline is the better rate of interest obtainable from other in vestments. Consols for present transfer have realised 95% to 96.

My Lord,—lt is reported in The Sun that, in the debate on the Sugar Duties on Friday last, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer made the following statement : " The request made to him" (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) "by the West Indians was, that as all protection was to be withdrawn from them, there ought not to be any protection against them. On this he, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, asked them to draw up a statement of what re strictions there were opposed to their interests that they wished removed, and the grounds on which such removal should take place." Now, this has been the first intimation of such a request having been made, that I have received, and 1 at once close with so reasonable a proposition. As far as British Guiana is concerned, I joyfully accept the invitation ! Be it my duty, then, to draw up the statement, craving but enough time to enable me to wade through extraneous matter surrounding the few clear points, sufficing to develope the cruel and unjust, and publicly and religiously oppressive po sition of our present industrial restrictions. With a redoubled sense of gratification do I grapple with my task, because when advocating facts in the strictest ac cordance with the liberal principles of free-trade, now so widely established by the Government, I am in my heart convinced that I propose for adoption the sole untried and certain means of effectually crushing the traffic in hunjan flesh and blood ! That which I will suggest as absolutely necessary to be done in " removal of restrictions opposed to the West Indian interest," I pledge myself shall be well within the rules of reformation, and by it the Government will have an oppor tunity of applying some correction at least to the poisonous boon, however circumstantially imperious, bestowed upon the slaver by the free admission into our market of his stolen goods. Your Government, my Lord, has yet the path before them in which to place the honest, obedient, and conscientious planter, or British subject, on a footing as equal in the market of the world as his moral station is superior to that of the irreligious thief, or rifler of human energies. With as little delay as possible, I undertake to lay before the Government and the country a "statement of the re• strictions opposed to the West India interests" in British Guiana, upon the removal of which the life of the colony depends. I have the honour to be Your most obedient, humble servant, GRANTLEY F. BERKELEY. Berkeley House, Aug. 2,1846. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Last evening Halevy's comic opera, Les Mousquetaires de la Heine, was produced by the Brussels company. The music is light and agreeable, although not very striking, and is what much of Halevy's music is not—dramatic. The plot is taken from the well-known. tale by Alexander Dumas. The opera was well but not enthusiastically received. ST. JAMES'S Mademoiselle Rachel re-appeared here last evening, for the first time since her recent indisposition, as Roxane, in Rapine's tragedy of Bajazet. This character has always struck ns as the most revolting and unnatural that Rapine ever drew. The superb acting of Rachel, however, over comes all difficulties, and every other feeling is lost in that of intense admiration of her genius. The house was crowded • ROYAL VISIT TO VAUXHALL. The royal property was last evening honoured with the presence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Cambridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, attended by Baron Knesebeck, Baroness A lilefeldt, Baron Hugel, Lady A. Cadogan, Miss Milford, Miss Fane, &c. The royal party arrived in three carriages shortly after ten o'clock, and were received by the proprietors of the gardens, the band playing the national anthem. The august visitors were immediately conducted to the Rotunda Theatre, the stage of which was fitted up as a royal box, with fluted columns in pink and white drapery. After witnessing the equestrianism by Tourniaire's troupe, the royal party promenaded the gardens, admiring the brilliancy of the illuminations and the new and appropriate devices displayed on the occasion. They after wards retired to the Waterloo-ground, where a magnificent display of fireworks were exhibited by the celebrated Darby, artiste to the gardens, the pice de resistance being an em blematical design, in the centre of which was the motto, " God bless the Royal Family of England," in brilliant co loured fires. The royal visitors, after expressing their admiration of the entire arrangements (prepared at a few hours' notice), retired from the gardens at about half-past twelve o'clock. BENEFIT OF MADEMOISELLE ERNESTA GRIsI.— This accomplished artiste takes her benefit at the St. James's Theatre this evening, and the performances advertised are of the most varied character. We have the comedy of " tine Femme a Quarante Ans ' " then Carlotta Grisi in two of her most celebrated pas, her last appearance for the season ; then the Ethiopian Serenaders, and then a Grand Concert, in which the fair beneficiare herself will appear, supported by many of the artistes of her Majesty's Theatre and by Ma demoiselle Issaurat Leroux. Such varied attractions cannot fail to draw a crowded house. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—MR. J. M. STEPHENS'S BENEFIT —The superintendent of the free-list, Mr. J. M.

The bill of fare is a good one, but even were it less excellent the friends of Mr. Stephens (and every one who knows him is his friend) would rally round him on this occa sion.

THE NEW PLANET. When Galileo had laid down the free prbielphs of iff‘• chanics, and traced, by his admirable labours, the metho the of observation that ought to be pursued in physics, e. application of analysis to the investigation of n atural causes became possible, and a new path was opened to the human et nd. Huygens and Newton engaged them selves in it, and the developments which mechanics re ceived, in the discovery of the laws of universal attrac- Sloe, still bear testimony to the power of their geniu s ' Then the world learned how the boundaries Of ob servation and experience may be overleaped" how, without their aid, the certain knowledge of several series of (yet) unperceived Oen () ; mena may be acquired. The example of Huygen s and Newton did not remain unfruitful, and on every side less importance wes attached to the seeking out of new Ole' noinena, than the laws of the phenomena formerly known. Scientific men no loner waited for chanc e to throw discoveries in their way; they were led to them by rigorous analogies. Involuntarily, and as it wer e ' in spite of ourselves, the mare we meditate M. Lever - / rier's work on the motions of Uranus (Herschel), the snore our mind reverts to that celebrated period in the annals of science and civilisation. Now, as then, analysis transports us to the regions of the unknown ; and (a certain guide) brings us back laden with the most splendid discoveries. On the 13th of May, 178 1 i Herschel was examining the little stars in the vicinity of (11) Gemini ; one of these stars appeared to him to hav e an unaccustomed diameter ; he made it out a COa 3et. Scarcely was the discovery of Mr. Herschel made knoealt when the savans hastened to compare the position of t he new star with that of th e fixed stars surrounding '" They sought, thus, to determine the curve according which its displacement was effected. Vain efforts Useless trouble ! Although the star moved they never succeeded in representing the ensemble of its positions. The observations of one month upset 0,1 top to bottom those of the preceding month. '7 d length it was perceived that a circular orbit Wl'. sufficiently satisfy all the observations recorded. 'l': most difficult step was then passed, and Uranus beca me a planet. But the miscalculations expected by the astronomers were not to stop here ; and, in spite 0 „, the persevering researches of M. Bouvard, Uranus ell?, day strays more and more from the route traced out him in the ephemerides. Instead of stopping, on proaching this problem, at the hypotheses, more or les ingenious, which have hitherto been suggested to exPlf: l , these singular anomalies, M. Leverrier p e rceived ths' there was no chance of attaining a satisfactory solution except by resuming the theory of the planet in all “ 4 elements; he therefore determined anew the pertert ll ,:, tions exercised upon it by Jupiter and Saturn, carryon ; the approximations as far as the square and the pro ducts of the masses, and reduced nearly 300 meridia n observations of Uranus. It was only after this labotirt as repulsive from the length of the calculations as it ° L I difficult from the invention of the methods, t rri p a , M. Leverrier was able to tell the Academy, -L e r , irregularities of Uranus are due to the action Cu.ii planet as yet unknown, which, in January 1, 1847, In, pass by the 325th degree of heliocentric longitude:o No one will, we fancy, entertain the idea of wishing reduce our solar system to narrow limits, and thenc e to • draw a conclusion against the existence of the new sle.g "In this case, however," adds M. Leverrier, I Ili a reply, that the same reasons might have been al le gL for affirming in 1781 that Saturn was the last of planets, safe to be contradicted the next day by th e a! st covery of Uranus." The hypothesis that there et a planets more remote from the sun than those we si res ! know, is not new. In 1758, the illustrious geometr u , Clairaut, declared, at the public sitting of the AcadLyeey of Sciences, on the subject of the perturbations of."V e ley's comet, "that a body which traverses such rea l° h regions might be subject to forces totally unknown, such as the action of planets too distant to be ever perceiv e 11 Let us hope that the stars of which Clairaut speaks t not all remain invisible, and that if chance disco ve co r`; Uranus, we shall soon succeed in seeing the planet v/ 11 . position has been ascertained by M.
