It says there is no " Paper conducted with more talent or success," and that "it is especially remarkable, not only for the great quantity of news it affords, and the admirable arrangement of its matter,—well illustrated by accompanying observations,—but for the ability and variety of its original articles, in the form of leaders and letters. The advantage of this ability is enhanced by its being displayed on other than mere political questions, so that the range of topics is more large and generally interesting. Thus it Is worth mentioning, that it was the only paper which, during the late controversy be tween the Press and the Bar, took up the case of the latter, in a Series of letters marked by great RAILWAY SHARES BY PUBLIC SALE. MESSRS. LAMOND, SMALE, AND LA-MOND, Railway Share Auctioneers, beg to thank their trim's and the Public for their continued support and patronage, and to announce that their Public Sales of Railway Shares, &c., take place every Tcasomr and FRIDAY, at One o'clock, at the Hill of Commerce, Threadneedle -street, London, to whic e requested ad tressed.

We rejoice that the matter has now been fully investigated before the House of Commons, more particularly because all further misapprehension upon the subject is rendered henceforth impossible. The Earl of LINCOLN stands before Parliament and before the People with all his own assertions reiterated and enforced, and his perfect freedom from the charge of bribery fully vindi cated. Mr. HILDYARD, on the contrary, has openly refracted his accusatory expressions; but having, at the same mo ment, acknowledged his fault in uttering those expressions in the impetuosity of an excitement, consequent upon bis youth and the bustle of his first electioneering campaign, he claims a certain proportion of our applause for thus publicly confessing his error. It was, nevertheless, a preposterous and unworthy subterfuge for the Hon. Member for South Notts to asseverate that he never imputed corruption to his noble an tagonist, the Secretary for Ireland ; it is preposterous, because it is a mere quibble; it is unworthy, because it looks like shuffling out of a dilemma. Mr. HILDYARD plainly "owns the soft impeachment " that he did accuse the Free-trade Committee of Nottingham with bribery, but he indignantly repudiates the notion that be imputed any similar acts to Lord LINCOLN, in corroboration (?) of which the Member for South Notts reads to the House, with the most elaborate dist inctness, a provincial report of a conversation which transpired upon the hustings at the ter mination of the contest, and from which conversation, ac cording to the construction placed upon it by Mr. HILDTAIID, it would appear—so he assumes—that he there exonerated himself from the charge of having questioned the in tegrity of the Noble Earl's electioneering conduct. Now, it distinctly appears in the very report which was read by the Honourable Member, that he was there asked, among other questions, whether he imputed the charge of bribery to the gentlemen who supported Lord LINCOLN, to which inquiry he as distinctly answered "No !" Two minutes before he accuses the Free-trade Committee of Nottingham of corruption, nay, last night he acknowledges having uttered that accusation, and yet upon the hustings at Newark he declares that he does not impute anysueh conduct to the gentlemen supporting his antagonist. Now if the Free-trade Committee were not acting as supporters to the Earl of LINCOLN, wherefore should he, Mr. HIM YARD, when addressing the electors at Sutton, adduce the illegal proceedings of that Committee as an argu ment in favour of his being received by the constituency in preference to his opponent? If the Free-trade Committee of Nottingham were not supporters of Lord LEICOLN, what pos • sible bearing could their conduct have uPen the merits of the contest between himself and that nobleman? But the fact was notorious, not only at Nottingham, but in the metropolis and throughout the kingdom, that the Committee were among the principal persons interested in the return of the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland. And in the imputation of bribery levelled at the members of that Committee, the character of the candidate for whose interest they were thus said to be violating the law, was as a matter of course necessarily implicated. The quibbling upon this point to which Mr. HILDYAMD has resorted, is nothing more than a distinction without a difference; for, as the Noble Lord the Member for Falkirk very justly put it overnight, "I do not see any very great dissimilarity between charging bribery upon an individual, and charging it upon a party by whom he is supported." The imputation upon Lord LINCOLN was therefore not a direct one undoubtedly, but it was most assuredly a broad inferential charge; and in the withdrawal by the Honourable Member for South Notts of the accusation upon the Free-trade Committee, the inferential accusation upon Lord LINCOLN is ipso facto retracted. The words of the Noble Represent ativeof Falkirk are proved good in all essential particulars—the words of the Hon. Representative of South Nottingham shire are eaten. Nevertheless, the affair ends honourably for both parties, the acknowledgment of error in Mr. HILD YARD enduing the very awkwardness of his position with an appearance such as to ensure his being regarded in a favour able light by every person of discrimination. We feel assured, moreover, that on a reconsideration of the matter, the Hon gentleman will perceive that the remarks recently uttered by the Secretary for Ireland in relation to himself, both in the provinces and in Parliament, arose not from any personal pique or cherished rancour, but that those remarks were elicited first by his, Mr. HILDYARD'S, silence, when taxed with the utterance of those charges by the Hon. Member for Nottingham (Mr. GICBORNE), and, secondly, by the unwar rantable personalities of the Noble Member for Lynn. We trust, now that the matter is so satisfactorily settled, that everything like ill-blood will subside, and that this, like so many equally foolish squabbles among our legislators, may be covered by a deserved oblivion. On Saturday we alluded to the extraordinary powers, executive, legislative, and judicial, vested in, or assumed by, the Royal Court of Guernsey. These powers great and un constitutional as they undoubtedly are, are enormously in creased by the practice of the Court and the manner in which they are carried into execution. The greatest protection to the rights of the suitor of any Court is to be found in the inde pendence of the practitioners of that Court, the power of selecting his advocate from a number of able, learned, and fearless gentlemen, who will be ready to denounce any injustice to their client without the possibility of any evil consequences resulting to themselves from the zeal and energy of their advocacy. It is to the knowledge of this fact that many of the privileges of the bar in this country are owing. It is not for the sake of the barrister himself that he is permitted perfect freedom of speech in any case in which he is professionally employed, the power of commenting upon and exposing the conduct of the opponent, of his witnesses—nay, of the Court itself, if he should think it necessary to do so in the discharge of his duty to his client—it is not for his own sake that he enjoys the freedom from arrest, Eundo morando et re deundo, in going to, remaining at, and returning from the Court where his services may be required ; but it is because his possession of these privileges is found to be essen tial to the public welfare, to the protection of the rights of those who may be engaged in litigation. Should the barrister fail in his duty, should he not bring all the powers of an intelligent and cultivated mind to the service of his client, he will speedily sink in the public estimation. His competitors are so numerous, so talented, that his practice may be extin guished without his being missed from the courts. Next to the independence of the Legislature, of the judicial bench, that of the bar is found to be most essential to public liberty. In Guernsey this independence does not exist. The advocates, who alone have the privilege of prac tising, are limited to six; thus little power of selection is afforded to the person seeking justice. The Court has the sole appointment of those six. The situation is a lucrative one, from the limited number, and is consequently much sought after, and only to be obtained by the friends and con nexions of the jurats. In England, any person who goes through certain prescribed forms, whose conduct and character is unimpeachable, is, as a matter of course, admitted to the profession, and when once admitted, can only be removed for improper or disgraceful conduct, contrary to the rules of Lis profession, his duty to his client, or the laws of his country. But, in Guernsey, no matter how zealously, bow efficiently, any one may have pursued his studies, may have followed the course indi cated for those seeking admission to the bar, though his talents may be of the highest order, though his charac ter may be unquestionable, unless he can curry favour with the jurats, and secure their votes, he cannot be admitted, will not be entitled to practice. Again, the Court assume the power of suspending, of disbarring the advocate at their mere will and pleasure—he is wholly and entirely under their control, and dependent upon them. It requires little argument to establish the impropriety of this system, and to exhibit the result attendant upon such a state of facts. The advocate does not impeach the conduct of the Court; no matter what prejudice, what injustice he may see exhibited, he is bound by every tie of interest to those by whom he was selected, and on the continuance of whose favour his pecuniary interests are so deeply involved. The proceedings in this Court are carried on in the French r language, and there is no sworn interpreter to explain to the Englishman the charges, the evidence against him, or to be the medium of communicating his defence to the Court. Law authorities, whether English, French, Norman, or Guern sey, are indiscriminately quoted, and weight is attached to them according to the interests, the feelings, the prejudices, . I or the passions of the individual jurats. The wide discretion exercised by the Court in the sen tences it p r onounces v e i n ti n d ta m rdly be conceived. A few plain utterance. ;ok can o g r w e e to exemplify this than any behind arid A Guernsey assault upon a cases, simply stated, language to which we man committed a violent and un p ro vo ked British soldier in her Al Agri Y's service h ec e t struck the soldier a fearful blow he e r s a t g e e d , dieting a deep wound on the temple. s s a i a tg i l tn a i einedt time, furmw e a ., s atnh n de : t wbhr i ue n nt e a b al r ft i a ea t rt e Ntv d aa . crkd.s N c o o l a l v e c i a c u t N e v s a a e s The as_ i n _ the punishment assignedfor the offence • • was imprisonment for forty-eight hours. An English soldier (when drunk) struck a Guernsey he was forthwith seized and put in irons, treated asac man ; of the worst class, having been (even before trial) rirninal kept for a week in solitary confinement, and on bread and w on conviction was sentenced to three montha' imprisonment, at water, and two of the three months in solitary confinement, and on r and water. Look at this picture and on that, and ead could theuolt d outrage, arrested a a s s see the justice meeted out to Englishmen in one of the British dependencies, close to our very shores. Instances might be multiplied illustrative of this conduct, but one more will be quite sufficient. One of the six advocates stabbed a native of Great Britain. It was said, and we believe truly, not to have Leen his first offence of a similar description. He was found guilty, without extenuating circumstances. One would have thought that this was a crime im peratively demanding a punishment of the weightiest de scription, that public justice would have been vindicated ; the majesty, of the offended law avenged ; but, no, the criminal was one of the favoured body—the friend, the associate of his judges ; his sentence was two months' imprisonment; and as if this mockery of justice, this ridi culously inadequate sentence, was not sufficient to excite the indignation and the disgust of the English inhabitants, the Court condescended to bandy compliments with the criminal, and he is told from what ought to be the bench of justice, " that he would be discharged from his confinement without a stain on his character." Surely proceedings of this class and character cannot be suffered to continue without stringent and efficient means being adopted for their reformation and amendment. 'We trust that the Commissioners appointed will closely investigate into, and fearlessly report upon these, and the other cases which may be brought before them. We doubt not that their conduct will be worthy of members of the honourable profession to which they belong, and that all parties will receive at their hands full and impartial justice. One thing we would im press upon their minds (although we hope and trust there is little necessity for the caution), they are deputed to investi gate into, and sit in judgment upon the conduct of the ad ' ministrators of the law in the Channel Islands; a large num ber of their fellow-countrymen of the natives of the islands, who are not connect edw ith the clique, anxiouslylook for theirreports for the alterations and amendments which they may suggest. Let them not be induced to attend at public banquets given by, or to exchange laudatory speeches with, those on whom they are sitting in judgment. We do not doubt their integrity, or suppose their decision could be biassed by any such paltry considerations, but the public will be better satisfied if no such festive meetings take place, and will think it more seemly on the part both of the Commissioners and members of the Court that they should be avoided. We know such things have been commented on before. We trust there may be no opportunity for similar comments again being made. A Trieste letter of the 30th ult., from nomelia, states that the Turks have attacked the Catholics of that country, torn them from their houses, and dragged them through the streets, because they would not abjure their religion. The Greeks were obliged to interfere to save the victims of fana ticism from being massacred. From this time the invete racy between the Turks and Christians had become so great that it had been found necessary to send detachments of troops to keep the peace between them. According to ac counts from Damascus, dated March 31, the Catholic Melchites have also suffered severely from the Turks, who are encouraged by the authorities, and even by the PACK♦ himself. Madrid papers to the sth instant have been received. The Heraldo states with positiveness that the Cortes will be dis solved, and the new Cortes be convened for the 10th of October. It was reported that a conspiracy had been dis covered at Granada, in which five officers of the garrison were implicated, but it was immediately crushed. The intelli gence from the other provinces was satisfactory. The lie parcial announces that General NARVAEZ had accepted the mission to Naples. _ _ The Three per Cents. closed at 32!../ t for cash ; the Five per Cents. were not quoted ; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 320; and those of Isabel at 185. The French papers of Monday have been received. The Chamber of Deputies opened the discussion on the Bill relative to the supplementary and extraordinary credits for the years 1845 and 1846. In the Chamber of Peers the discussion on the Belgian treaty was continued. Baron CHARLES DUPLN spoke at great length against the treaty, and took the opportunity of opposing the principles of free trade, which several Peers had advocated at the sitting on Saturday. The Moniteur announces that the Lyons and Avignon rail road line, with a branch to Grenoble, will be adjudicated on the 10th of June. The line is to have two points of departure from Lyons, the one at the extremity of the station of the Cours Napoleon (on the Paris and Lyons road), and the other on the left bank of the Rhone, near the bridge of La Guillotiere. The Grenoble branch will commence at or near St. Rambert, and pass through Beaurepaire, Rives, Voiron, and Voreppe. Companies intending to bid for the Lyons and Avignon line must deposit their lists of subscriptions in the hands of the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Public Works, and two copies of their statutes in those of the Secretary-General of the Department of Commerce, on or before the Ist of June. The deposit of the sum required as security (10,000,000 f.) must be effected before four o'clock, P.m., on the 9th of Jur". The Prince DE JouMt.x.x hoisted his flag on board the Soverain three-decker on the morning of the 7th inst., and inspected, in the course of the day, the different ships at anchor in the roads of Toulon. The squadron of evolution was to sail in a few days for Naples. The KING has, it is said, sent a reply in his own hand writing to the address of the Lord Provost and corporation of Edinburgh. A grand review in the Champ de Mars, in honour of IBRAHIM PACHA, is to take place about the 20th of this month. It is the KING'S intention to have troops of all kinds present on this occasion ; and in consequence, not only the regiments of the garrison of Paris and the neighbourhood, but the greater part of the regiments of cavalry of the Ist division, the Ist carbineers, the Ist and 7th cuirassiers, and the batteries of artillery at Vincennes and Lafere, are all to attend. The Moniteur Alyerien of the sth instant states, that perfect tranquility prevailed in the west of the Regency, from the Dahra to the frontier of Morocco. The great league of the southern tribes, organised by AIM-EL-KAMM, was re garded as entirely dissolved. The Duke D'AUMALE had conducted in person a convoy of 1,500 camels to General Joussoiri, together with a column of fresh troops, with which the General was to continuehis operations against the Emir. The Ouled Nayls, who had supplied him during the last three months with the means of carrying on the war, had made their sub mission to the Duke n'Aumm.E. The Marshal-Governor was to leave Algiers on the 6th, to take the command of an expedition destined to reduce to obedience the revolted mountaineers of the Ouarensenis. Business on the Paris Bourse opened on Monday under favourable appearances; but it having become known that an eminent Lyons banker, largely connected with railroad speculations, had committed suicide, and that some failures had taken lace there in consequence, prices receded.

The expense of its preparation has been very great, but that expense has been well bestowed, because it has se cured accuracy of delineation, and elegance of execution Of the first, the name of Mr. Wyld, whose maps are appealed to as authorities in every part •f the world, is a sufficient guarantee, while as regards the last, the map itself is its own best witness. The manner in which the map has been got up reflects the greatest credit on Mr. Wyld's taste, know. ledge, and genius. AMERICAN NEWTS. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, MAY 12. Important accounts from Washington to the 21st ult., and from New York to the 23d inclusive, have been received this day by the packet ship Liverpool, Capt. Eldridge. We learn by these advices that the Oregon notice passed by the Senate had been amended by the House of Represen tatives. The amended form was rejected by the Senate, then insisted upon by the House, and, ultimately, committees of conference were appointed by the two Houses to compromise the dispute. The members of the Senate Committee were Messrs. Berien, Hayward, and Corwin ; those of the House, Messrs. Ingersoll, Owen, and Hilliard. The amendments of the House of Representatives were as follow : Where, in the Senate resolution, one object of giving the notice was declared to be, " that the attention of the two Governments may be more earnestly and immediately de voted to renewed efforts for the amicable adjustment of all their differences and disputes in respect to said territory," the House substituted—" be the more earnestly directed to the importance of a speedy adjustment of all their differences and disputes in respect to said territory." The word "amicable," it will be observed, is here stricken out. The second section of the Senate resolution authorises the President, at his dis cretion, to give the notice; the House proposes to authorise and request the President to give the notice—the phrase " at his discretion," being stricken out. Should the Committee of Conference fail to arrive at an understanding, and the Senate still refuse to " recede" from its disagreement, the notice will entirely fail. On the 18th ult. the Oregon Occupation Bill passed the House of Representatives in the following amended shape_ ayes, :03 ; nays, 46 ; " A Bill to protect the rights of American settlers in the ter ritory of Oregon until the termination of the joint occu pation of the same. " Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the territory of lowa, and the laws of said territory, so far as the same may be applicable, as they now exist, are hereby extended over all that portion of the territory of the United States which lies west of the Rocky Mountains; and also over all that portion of the intermediate country west of the Missouri river, and between the 40th and 43d parallels of north lati tude. Provided, that this Act shall not be construed nor exe cuted in such a manner as to deprive the subjects of Great Britain of any of the rights and privileges secured by the treaty signed in London, October 20, 1818, and continued in force by the treaty of August 6, 1827. " Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, that all the country described in the first section of this Act shall constitute one judicial district, and a district court shall be held therein by the judge to be appointed under this Act, at such tines and places as he shall designate; and the said court shall possess all the powers and authority vested in the present district courts of the said territory of lowa. An additional justice of the supreme court of the territory of lowa shall be appointed, who shall hold his office by the same tenure, receive the same compensation, and possess the same powers and authority as are conferred by law upon the other justices of the said court, and who shall hold the district courts iu the said district as aforesaid. " Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, that the President be r t th e e t jus tices of the peace an the 1 b e e ws arrested hereby authorised to d ap su p c o h mt ii t n h i e ste r r e i ci a i l lis o it ffi e c n er u s m as ber soh f alite any subject of Great for crime alleged to have been com mittedprovisions of this Act, lownhushall of the United States west of the within the territorywhile subjects of the United States and of citizens, and necessary for the due ß e r x it e a c i a n the vessels, between the two to stipulations Great Britain, pursuantcd up the same remains free and open to for trial, on proof of his being pßoolcvkeymblo shallun Mountains, n d s, eliv Such J3ritish subject/ to the 211 C delivered • e dearest and DOA COnYenitut authorities having cognisance of such offence by the laws of Great Britain. " Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, that provision shall hereafter be made by law to secure:and grant to every white person, male or female, over the age of 18 years, 320 acres of land; and to every white person, male or female, under the age of 18 years, 160 acres of land, who shall have resided in the said territory described in the fitit section of this Act for five consecutive years-, to commence within three years from the passage of this Act; provided, the said land shall be located in said territory. "Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, that there shall be ap. pointed, in the manner provided by law for similar officers, a superintendent of Indian affairs, and such Indian agents and sub- agents as shall be necessary for the public interests, to whom may be entrusted, under the direction of the Presi dent, and in accordance with the existing laws, so far as they may be consistent with the purport of this Act, the regula tion of trade and intercourse with the Indian tribes, and the execution of the laws herein extended over the country de scribed in the first section of this Act. "Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, that the President be, and he is hereby authorised to cause to be erected such block houses, stockades, or military posts, as shall be necessary to protect emigrants, settlers, and traders, on the route to and in the territory of Oregon, against Indian depredations and aggressions, and to furnish such ammunition and supplies as shall be necessary to their defence. " Sec. 7. Be it further enacted, that a post route he esta blished from Fort Leavenworth, via' Grand Island, on the Platte river, Fort Laramie, the South Pass of the Rocky Mountains, Fort hall, Fort Boise, Fort Wallawalla, and Oregon city, on the Willamette river, to Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia river, on the Pacific Ocean. " Sec. 8. And he it further enacted, that it shall be the duty of the Postmaster General to cause the United States mail to be transported on the said route from Fort Leaven worth to Astoria and back, at least once a month, by such means of conveyance as he may deem most advantageous to the public service, and on the best terms that can be obtained by contract, in the mode now provided by law for the trans portation of the United States mail. Provided, that if, in the opinion of the President of the United States, it be expe dient to cause the mail on the route aforesaid to be carried by detachments of mounted men in the service of the United States, he may order the said mail to be carried in that way, instead of having it transported by contract, as above provided. " Sec. 9. And be it further enacted, that the sum of 100,000 dolls. be, and the same is hereby, appropriated to carry the provisions of this Act into effect." The charges against Mr. Webster had fallen into universal discredit, and had recoiled upon Mr. Ingersoll with most damaging effect. On the 20th ult. a message was received from the President, in the Hous;, in response to the resolution calling for the accounts of the disbursements of the secret service fund, which Mr. Webster was accused of having appropriated in part to his own use, and in part applied to improper purposes. The President refused to send the accounts' vouchers, and replied that by a law of 1810 this fund had been used by the President, upon his certificate only, without any account or statement of the object ; that the amount used during Mr. Webster's administration of the State Depart ment was only 5,169 dolls.; that he could send President Tyler's certificates, upon which the money was drawn, but that they would furnish no means whatever of judging of the propriety of the expenditure, or even of its objects. In a case of impeachment a Committee could examine the con fidential papers, but the executive would not, upon any light occasion, allow them to be published, for it would destroy the object of the fund. He had not yet used any of the fund. but should not hesitate to do it if occasion required. No President would use the fund except in extreme cases. Mr. Ingersoll then alleged that Mr. Webster proposed a special mission to settle the Oregon question and make a commercial treaty. Mr. Webster had denied this, and Mr. Adams, being appealed to declared as chairman at that time of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, that Mr. Ingersoll's allegations were utterly untrue and unfounded. The affair ended in the President's message establishing the failure of Mr. Ingersoll's charges being printed. The President, in a message communicated to the House of Representatives on the 20th, had declined to furnish the information in relation to the Secret Service Fund called for by Mr. Ingersoll. The prospects of the Sub- Treasury Bill in the Senate had assumed a doubtful aspect ; and it was thought that, should it pass that body, it would be in an amended and ame liorated form. The New York Chamber of Commerce had petitioned against it. No advance had been made with the Tariff Bill. The Americanjournals publish, in extenso, the correspond ence which has passed between the Mexican Executive and Mr. Slidell. The documents add nothing to material to the information we already possess. "By the latest accounts from the army of Occupation," says the New York Herald of the 23d ult.:— - - - " We learn that the Mexican army is now 8,000 strong and continually increasing. To oppose this large force we have about 3,000 men, who, by daily desertion and sickness, are decreasing fast. To increase our difficulties, the Mexican authorities have committed an act which, in all probability, will lead to a general engagement between the two armies. It appears that two men, who were the videttes thrown out by the advanced guard of dragoons, have been captured by the Mexicans ; and, on being demanded by General Worth, who proceeded with a flag of truce for the purpose, the Mexican officers who answered him declined to convey any propositions to their commander until the American army should withdraw from its present position. This, of course, was not done. Meanwhile the greatest activity appeared to prevail in the Mexican camp. Four redoubts were thrown up in one day and one night, in expectation, no doubt, of a general engagement." The New Orleans papers mention a rumour that General Taylor, in an action with the Mexican forces, had sustained a defeat. The statement was entirely discredited. The Caldedonia had arrived at Boston on the 20th ult. The Unicorn had left that port for Halifax on the preceding day. Lake Champlain was clear of ice, and navigation will shortly be resumed. Our accounts from Canada are of much importance, and bring reports of a probable resignation of the Ministry, in consequence of an adverse majority in the House of Assembly. The House was in Committee on the proposed repeal of the duty of 3s. per quarter now levied on wheat from the United States, such repeal having been suggested in a dispatch from the home Government. The Ministry advocated the repeal. A postponement of the subject, moved by Mr. Merritt, was opposed by the Ministry, but carried by a majority of 7 ; whereupon Mr. Draper, the Attorney- General, moved that the House adjourn, in order that he might have time to consult with his colleagues as to the course they should pursue. The papers anticipate a resig nation, as we have said, but those which support the Ministry express their belief that it will not be accepted by Lord Cathcart. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES REGATTA.—The Oxford Uni versity Boat-Club have presented 501., and Lords Lyndhurst and Camoys five guineas each, towards this festival in June next. SOLDIERS IN THE EAST INDIES.—A return has just been printed by order of the Parliament, from which it is shown that the following numbers of men have volunteered to regiments in India from the last five regiments that have been ordered home from that country :—From the 13th Foot, 447 men ; the 2d 313 ; the 40th, 421 ; the 57th, 327 ; and from the 39th, 500 ; making a total of 2,007 men. The last two named regiments had not yet arrived from India at the date of the return being prepared (April 30.) The ice of the Neva broke up in the night of the 10th alt., and in the afternoon of the 11th had become so far cleared away, that the governor of the fortress of St. Petersburgh crossed the river in a boat under a salvo of artillery, announcing that the navigation was again open. The river has this season been impassable for only 117 days, being not more than 14 days longer than the shortest period Within the last 127 years. FIRES IN LONDON.—The number of fires that have taken place Li the metropolis and its suburbs since the commence ment of the year, according to the records kept by the brigade authorities, amount to more than 300. The loss of life is happily net so great as formerly, which is attributed to the judicious course pur sued by the superintendent of the force, in providing every con stable of the metropolitan police with printed instructions for his guidance on discovering fire. The most important injunction is that of keeping all doors and windows closed until the arrival of the brigademen and engines. The number of visitors at the Horticultural Gardens at Chiswick, on Saturday, was 5,022 SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH l; UNPOWDER.—On Tuesday afternoon a distressing accident occurred to a lad named Janice Cooper, aged ten years, the son of respectable parents, residing at 17, Jane-terrace, Isabdla•street, Waterloo-road. It appeared that.- he was making fireworks, and, while mixing np the combustibles In a mortar, the whole contents suddenly ignited with a loud report, forcing out the windows of the room, and frightfully disfiguring the poor boy, who was taken up quite insensible from the effect of the explosion. DEATH OF BENJAMIN WALKER, THE LUDDITE.— Benjamin Walker was one of the four persons concerned in the murder of Mr. Ilorsfall, of Marsden, on the 28th of April, 1812. The other three, viz., Smith, Mellor, and Thorpe, were hanged, and Walker escaped, by turning King's evidence in the case. Its died at Cop in 3leltham, on Thursday week, aged 55 years.—Leeds Mercury, PRICE OF GOLD..--The premium on gold at Paris is 16% per mine, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10%d. per oz. for standard gold gives an exchange of 25 56 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 70, it follows that gold is 0.54 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Ham burgh, the price of gold is 435% per mark, which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10%d. per oz. for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13s. toga. ; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13s. 11%c1., it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Ilamburgh. THE RIVER NIBBLE.—We understand that on Mon day next a Government engineer will inspect the estuary of the river Ribble, to report whether a lighthouse or a iightship would be more suitable for the entrance to our river. The erectio n of either would be a great boo n t o coast i ng an d other shippers. and would , no doubt, prevent many of those disastrous ocenrymees, the frequent recur rence of which h as ren d ere d the Horse Bank and other sa nd banks off Lytham so muc h f eare d .

The intelligence received of a schism having arisen between the Senate and the house of Representatives of the Federal Republic, upon the important question of the occupancy of Oregon, has been the matter of much conversation among the mercantile interests this morning. It is considered that a blow is thus struck at the Polk policy, which must tend to advance the great principles of amity and of commerce between the two countries. Indeed several men well acquainted with the real state of feeling in the United States have very confident assurances from the other side of the Atlantic that a ruse has been played on' to get President Polk out of the somewhat dangerous position he has placed himself in with the whole of the St..tes, excepting the western, in urging on measures which, if fully carried out, would render war inevitable. The bulk of the mercantile interest here, as well as in America, are, of course, averse to any interruption with the regular course of trade, as ruin would attend such an event to hundreds of persons. There fore it is that this division, strange as it is it comparison with the warlike tone previously expressed in former accounts from the United States that both Ilouses of the Legislature were determined to assert their right to the whole of Oregon, is held to be a sign that the rela tions with the Republic will not be disturbed. _ . . The mercantile:markets are rather dull just now, and trade in general does not seem to be brisk. At a special meeting of the East India proprietors held• this morning, annuities were voted unanimously to Sir H. Ilardinge and General Gough. _ _ . The Stock - Market is flat again this *morning, and there has been very little doing even at the reduced quotations. Consols have been 9634 :;;; for present transfer, and % for time.

MADEMOISELLE PLESSY.—This charming actress was, on Friday, condemned to pay 100,000 francs (4,0001.), with loss of her pension as a societai7e, for having quitted the Thatre Francais, Paris, contrary to the articles of agree• went between her and the director. Our readers will recol lect that, some months ago, this lady married a literary gentleman, N. Arnould, and immediately left France for St. I'etersburgh, where she was engaged at a high salary. We gather from the trial that, in reply to a letter from her country residence, stating that she was ill, she received a harsh communication, telling her that the director would not send a physician seven leagues to certify her illness, and ordering her to return. This very ungallant note so shocked theladi h , a t t h ahtashe beenat oncema made elosferdo from with St. the i3eters b tempting urah over turesandabandoned the director of the French theatre. THE LATE Mn. BLEWITT.—In consequence of the lapse of time that took place between the infliction of the gun-shot wound and the death of the unfortunate man Blewitt, considerable interest was excited amongst the medical profession, respecting the course thst the ball tra versed, and the precise cause that superinduced the fatal result. This interest arose from an impression amongst many of the faculty : that the ball passed through the lungs, whilst others imagined that it was the shock which the system sustained that occasioned death. Last night a post mortem examination was instituted, Mr. Partridge acting as chief operator, of which the following is an accurate analy sis :—The ball traversed in a circuitous direction, extending from between the sixth and seventh ribs below the right shoulder-blade, and from thence partially around the chest, between the pleura covering of the lungs and the walls of the chest, through the substance of the inferior lobe of the right lung. On removing the interior part of the thorax, a large quantity of purulent matter escaped, which was ob served to occupy the right pleural cavity, pressing upon the lungs, and thus rendering it impermeable to the air. The large amount of fluid of a purulent character, with the shock the system had sustained, was the paramount cause in the production of death. COALS, &c.—A return has been issued by order of the House of Commons, relative to the quantities of coals, cinders, and culm, shipped, &c., from the United Kingdom. It thence appears that in 1844 there were 7,377,862 tons of coals, cinders, and culm shipped at the several ports of the United Kingdom coastwise to other ports thereof ; and that in 1845 the quantity was 8,723,468. In the year 1844, the quantity exported from the United Kingdom was 1,754,171 tons, of which the declared value was 672,056/. In the course of: the last year the exports amounted to 2,531,282 tons, and the declared value thereof to 987,635/ In 1846, the quantities of coals brought coastwise, and by inland navigation and land-carriage, into the port of London, amounted to 2,563,166 tons; and in 1845, to 3,461,19 9 tons.

NORWICH A PORT.—It seems that the Railway Com pany will have the cre dit of demonstrating, practically, that Norwich can be made a port of importance. Durin . g . the last week, as many as eighteen sea-borne vessels, vza Lowestoft, many of them o f considerable burthen, h av i ng been lying near Foundry-bridge, laden with coals, coke, and other materials, for delivery at the railway station. This proves how excellent and how practicable was the plan of our late esteemed fellow-citizen, Crisp Brown, Esq.; and must cause universal regret that it then failed. It becomes a question, whether, as the Haven and Pier Commissioners and the Yarmouth people, throw so many impediments in the way of effecting a communication between Norwich and the sea via that port, it would not be well for the committee for im proving the navigation to turn their attention to Lowestoft, where a commodious and spacious harbour is forming ; a n d by which, it is now abundantly proved, sea-borne vessels can obtain access to our wharfs P—Nolrfoh Chronicle.

The frontispiece to this number is an admirable serio comic etching of the interior of the Ragged School, West-street, Smithfield. From a descriptive paper on ragged schools, we extract the following observations, which are worthy the study of all who take an interest in the advancement of real education : "Despite the cheering symptoms observable amidst the noise, confusion, and ignorance of the ' Ragged Schools,' we left the place impressed with a conviction that their founders were courageous and zealous, warm-hearted and enthusiastic, but feeble pioneers. Their conduct deserves all encourage ment, all praise. It is lack of aid and backing, not of heart and good-will, which prevents them from doing more than indicating the path, to tread which we must have skilful organisation and a formable power. Moreover, the con ductors of the' Ragged Schools' are too sectarian, and not suffiziently practical. It is not enough to teach neglected children chapters from the New Testament end hymns from Dr. Watts. Many of them cannot afford to be honest. They must steal, or if they would rather not starve, become inma.es of our workhouses. What we should recommend, and like to see established, would be practical work-schools. We should teach the children trades as well as indoctrinate them with dogmas. We should make them good carpenters or blacksmiths as well as attempt to render them zealous Methodists or strict Episcopalians. We should have a child taught honesty, and then enabled to pursue it. What is the use of telling an urchin that theft is wrong, when he will starve if he does not thieve ? No : tell him certainly that to steal is a crime, but teach him hew to live without stealing. To do all this, we know, demands great resources and power ful influence. Why cannot we have both? Hundreds of thousands are annually subscribed for educational and mis sionary purposes. "Let it be the merit and the praise of the ' Ragged Schools' that they have indicated a class; that they have pointed out an outcast grade of helots—of home savages—at once our terror and our disgrace—a class, than on the reclaiming and educating of which money could not be more beneficially or more wisely bestowed—a class for the accommodation of which the more schools we build we shall simply have to erect the fewer prisons." _ _ One of the most humourous papers in the present number is " The British Lion," by Alfred Crow quill, the illustrations to which are very good ; and George Cruikshank's illustration to the paper on Spoons is one of the most quaint specimens of pictorial fun we have seen for many a long day. THE PATRICIAN. No. I. Edited by John Burke Esq., Author of the " Peerage.' This is the first number of a periodical devoted ti genealogy, antiquities, heraldry, and general literature. One of the most novel features of the Patrician is at , annotated obituary of the month. The Patrician is well got up, and the name of Mr. Burke is a sufficient voucher for its scrupulous accuracy in all matters relat ing to genealogy or titles of honour. It will henceforth be the authority on the subjects on which it treats. COLBCRIV'S UNITED SERVICE. We must protest against the spirit of disgustingly ser vile adulation in which the article entitled the Emperor Nicholas is written. So innately servile is the writer that he can tolerate, nay admire, cunning, dishonesty, and dishonour, provided they - are accompanied by un reasoning obedience to the autocratic will. " The love of ruse and cunning, the fact of extended corrup tion, and the absence of high sense of honour, are features which have always marred the character of the Russian nation,—else so beautiful." The opinions of beauty entertained by this gentleman must be very peculiar. LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS' AS SOCIATION.—This cifaritable association for the relief of reduced coffee and eating-house keepers, their wives and fa milies, celebrated its ninth anniversary on Tuesday, by a dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. Between two and three hundred persons sat down to dinner. Toe chair was taken by General Sir de Lacy Evans, M.P. Immediately on the cloth being removed, and after the usual loyal toasts, the Chairman proposed " the health and prosperity of the London Coffee and Eating-house Keepers' Association," in a short and appropriate speech expressive of its benefits, stating. that the whole body of coffee and eating-house keepers in the metropolis amounted to about 2,000; of these one thou sand were members of the association, but, he regretted to say, that only 250 were annual subscribers. The society had, however, from its commencement been steadily progress ing. The toast was received with the utmost enthusiasm, and drunk with three times three. Other toasts, including the health of the chairman, were given in the course of the evening. Some excellent comic and other singing contri buted to the general hilarity* The salmon fisheries in Sutherlandshire have been more productive this season than for some years back, and while we noticed numbers caught by the net, we are equally delighted with the success of the angiers. On some of the Sutherland rivers seven salmon have been killed in one day with the same road, some of which were very large. One gentleman when fishing for salmon, hooked a very rare fish, not known to be an inhabitant of the rivers, and, from its strange a ppearance, some of the old fishers have named it colonel." —floss-shire Advertiser. THE MAMMOTH LOG OF MAHOGANY.-13y the last West India mail, we learn that our fellow-subjects at Hon duras were rejoicing in the possession of what they had christened the "Mammoth Log." h e schooner Vigilant had towed up, from Glover's Reef, the largest log seen in the settlement for many years. It was to be shipped to England in the St. Croix. The full measurement was :—Length, 19 feet six inches ; breadth, 5 feet; depth, 4 feet 2 inches; and set down at 4,750 feet; exceeding 12 tons in weight. This log was cut about three years ago, at the Rio Cuero; but in consequence of its great draught of water, could not be got over the bar till recently, when advantage was taken of a great freshet in the river. The colony was doing well. By the Supetiatendent's message to his Parliament, it appears that the balance of revenue over expenditure for the past year was 4,070!. e Ambrose Hussey, Salisbury, f dg has s r b e e se e a n t session, havi ngseliSS been ro obliged to les visit Naplei or the healt p h . of a unavoatlyabntteYinEnsisqLt M.P.

Two suns, each undergoing an eclipse, were pro• duced at the same time, by the myst;c lens on the metallic plate, with this remarkable difference, however, between the two, that the one showed an opaque, the other a luminous surface; the former being encircled by silvery clouds , the l Ater standing out like a ra diant speck on the ethereal va ult. What ma y be the explanation of this beautiful prodigy, the joint production of art and nature, we are ' unable to conjecture.—Belfast Banner. MELANCHOLY CASE.-011 Monday evening about nine o'clock, a man rung the bell at the door of Mr. Probyn, of Lower Belarave street, and on its being opened by the servant, she was told that her mother had died very suddenly. The announcement had such an effect on the poor y iris mind, that she ran up stairs, and was heard to exclaim, that " She world soom be with her mother." Im mediately a loud crash was heard in the area of the house, into which site had thrown herself from the attic window. Mr. Griffith was sent for, and was on the spot in an instant, when he found she had I fractured her arm and her leg, and met with other injuries.

Rolfe, Lsq. of aleot-house, Ship-lane, St. Mary's-square, Lambeth, was thrown W into a state of great excitement in consequence of the body of a new-born child being found in the garden by one of the female servants. It was tied up in a pieces of merino, and appeared to have been born but a few hours only. The body was that of a fell-sized infant, and had no doubt been born alive. It was conveyed to Mr. Wagstaff, the surgeon, but he could not give any opinion as to the cause of death without a post morons examination. Dunn, the beadle of the dis trict, immediately took charge of the body, and removed it in a shell to the dead-room at Liunbeth Church, where it awaits the in- SIMA LATEST PRICES OF SHARD- N BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COX• I'ANIES' STOCK.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have not been extensive, we had a large number of that day's unsold sate pies on offer. The attendance of buyers being small, the demand ruled necessarily heavy, at barely the late depression in the quotations. The show of free foreign Wheat was trifling, yet the sale for that article was dull, and prices had, in some instances, a downward ten dency. In Corn under lock we heard of no transactions. With Barley we were but moderately supplied ; still, however, the inrituirY for that description of grain was dull, at barely stationary prices. In Malt very little business was transacted, yet the currencies were mostly supported. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour very dull, at barely late rates, ARRIVALS. Barley. 1,310 qrA. Wheat. 1,370 qrs.
