HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY Morn ng .. di minutes after 2. I Evening .. 8 minutes after 1. rf. l s7a 0 Marian Aint LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 1846. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock, and after the transaction of a great &al of private business, Mr. HAwES rose to msve that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider of an Address to her MAJES TY on the subject of the Danish The CHANCELL OR o f t h e EXCHEQUER felt bound, not withstanding the decision to which the House had come in April, to oppose the motion. He did this under circumstances of peculiar difficulty, for on every occa sion some new argument had been broached ; and on the last occasion the Hon. Gentleman, in his reply, had argued that the convention in September had cured the declaration of war of August, but that argument fell to the ground when it was recollected that only three days after the execution of that convention the Danish Government had issued rules for the con duct of the war with Great Britain. The House had wisely laid down a rule not to vote any grant of money except at the recommendation of the Ministers of the Crown, and he could not consent to the getting rid of this rule by a side wind. It was getting a most dangerous precedent, and if the principle now sought to be established were once acknowledged, it would lead to the indemnification by the nation of every merchant who, during any future war, might suffer loss from captures at sea, which would impose upon every class of the community a heavy burden for the mere benefit of one class. The principle equally applied whether the war was just or unjust. These merchants had suffered from captures made in strict accordance with the law of nations, and it was most unjust to come upon the tax-payers of this country now and ask them to bear the burden which would be imposed upon them if these claims were admitted. The declaration of war on the part of Denmark took place previous to these captures viz., on the 15th of August, 1807. Now, Great Britain never made any declaration of war except by issuing letters of marque—Great Britain never issues a declara tion of war until all the means of pacification are exhausted. In 1812 America declared war in June, and England did not declare war until September, and yet the captures made during that interval were considered as legal cap tures. The Right lion. Gentleman then proceeded to describe the circumstances under which the captures were made, and which have been already frequently described, and concluded by declaring his determination to oppose the motion. 1 Mr. HAwEs denied th at there had been any declyation of w ar prev i ous to:the captures, but even had th ere b een such a declaration, that was rendered entirely nugatory b y the subsequent convene tion by whi c h amicable" relations had been restored. Besides, the Go vernment h a d acknowledged the ex istence of these c l a i ms b y appo i nt i ng a Commission to inquire into their nature and extent, and that Commis sion having reported that claims to the amount of 225,000/. had been made out, it was not right that the Government should repudiate the decision of their own Commissioners. The claims were founded in equity, and he appealed to the justice of that House to make them good. Mr. CARDWELL contended that the existence of war between the two nations at the time the captures were made was proved by the existence of hostilities, and that no declaration of war was necessary. Under these circum stances, the captures were legal captures, and there was no foundation for these claims. Colonel SIBTRORP supported the motion, and reflected on the absence of ,the Attorney-General and of the Solicitor-General, who had, when out of office, voted in favour of the claims, but who now absented themselves from the division. The House then divided, when there appeared- For going into Committee 5B Against it , B5 lisjorify _ 27 Mr. Fox MAULS moied the second reading of the Places of Worship and Sites (Scotland) Bill. Mr. BRINE proposed an adjournment of the debate to that day week, which was agreed te. The Railway Companies Dissolution Bill was read a econd time, and proposed to be read a third time one Friday. Sir JAJIES GRAHAM moved that the House should go into Committee pro forma on the Poor Removal Bill. The House then went into Committee, and imme diately after resumed, when the remaining private busi ness was gone through, and the House adjourned at six o'clock. The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade, have made a minute, under date of the 6th of June (which was yesterday inserted in The Sun), on the report of the Gauge Commissioners. Their Lord ships appear to have given the closest attention to the difficult subject in question, and we confess that we are better satisfied with the result at which they have arrived, the suggestions they have offered, than those adopted by the Commissioners. They have considered the report and observations there made by the Great Western Railway Company, which is the company most deeply interested in the question. And, concurring fully in the opinion " that a break of gauge is a very serious evil," and that none of the mechanical contrivances, :or other methods proposed for miti gating the evil, " are calculated to remedy in any important degree, the inconveniences attending a break of gauge," they come to the real practical question, viz., whether any just means can be found of producing entire uniformity of gauge throughout the country? This truly is the great question, for whatever may be the convenience or ad vantages to the public, were they even as great as the warmest supporters of uniformity have asserted them to be, they would be purchased at too high a price if attained by any but just means, and this is the fitting view to be taken by persons exercising so high an influence over the trade of the country, the basis of which must ever be justice and integrity. The Commissioners recommend,amongst other things, —lst. That equitable means should be found of pro ducing entire uniformity of gauge, by reducing the broad gauge lines to the narrow gauge. 2d. That all public railways now under construction, or hereafter to be constructed, in Great Britain, shall be formed on the narrow gauge. Their Lordships do not con cur in the entire extent of these recommendations ; they cannot feel themselves justified in recommending an entire reduction of the broad gauge. Several methods had been proposed for meeting the expense which would be occasioned by the reduction ; the principal plans suggested- were :-1. That the expense should be defrayed from the public moneys. 2. That it should be defrayed by the companies themselves, who I should he compell e d t o re d ue e th e i r gauge at their own expense, or to lay down intermediate rails for narrow gauge traffic. 3. That the expense should be borne by a contribution, to be levied on all the rail way companies in the kingdom. The only one of these methods compatible with equity or justice, is that first named, viz., that the expense should be borne by the public. It would be indeed a monstrous injury to the companies who had adopted that standard which they thought best suited to their traffic, who had made all their works with the sanction and authority of Parliament, at increased expense, and who are satis fied that that expense has been properly incurred, and was fully counterbalanced by the additional speed and other real or fancied ad vantages attendant on the broad gauge if they should now not only be called on to forego all the benefits derivable from that increased outlay, and to expend a further considerable sum in reducing their lines to the narrow gauge. Such a proposition is so utterly repugnant to every feeling of fair play and justice, that it requires no argument to be offered against it—it carries with it its own condemnation. And so it is with the other, of levying a general con tribution on all the railways in the kingdom ; it would indeed be hard if railways, which derived little or no benefit from the proposed change, which are far remote from those about to be altered, should be compelled, nolens voleiss, willing or unwilling, to pay a large sum of money from their own resources. Private rights have ever been respected by our Legislature, and though it has often been necessary to take the property of individuals for the public benefit, yet,the principle has ever been that the public, or parties to be benefited, should pay a full and fair compensa ttihon for the injury inflicted. If, then, the privaterights of fo;l3thr°"(igluge tzeb companies uptuhieie mani fest t e b ar at " e n n o e t fi o t, n tywboeualrd the be entire expense of the, alteration, but make a fair tion for the deteriorated valueofthe railways after the change had been eff ec t e d . The question then re solves itself into this—ls the public benefit hich not, for the they decidedly say that would be derived from an uniformity o f gauge w eaui - think valent to the great expense which would be thereby occasioned ? Their a Lord ships t th ey seem to cannot recommend Legislature to sanction su ch an ex p ense from the pub lie money. They also declare themselves unable to which the desired un iformity of suggest any other equitable or p racticable means by gauge could be ob tained From this decision of their Lordships it becomes manifest that an absolute uniformity of gauge cannot now be attempted, and they turn their attention to the next point of importance, viz., to endeavour to effect such a settlement of the gauges to be used in the several railways already sanctioned, and to lay down such general regulations for the future, as wil prevent the increase and further extension of an evil ;hey cannot altogether remedy, and will reduce the inconvenience inflicted on the passenger and goods traffic of the country within the narrowest attainable limits. We think the suggestions they have offered sound and practical, and such as will afford the most bene ficial result. They adopt generally the narrow gauge :as that on which future railways should be constructed, although they do not wish that it should_ be considered positive and final, wisely 1 SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE: 11, iBl6. considering that the superiority of some oth er an d intermediate of e may yhereafter be proved, an d t h at the advance and course of experience may point out a practicable mode of altering an existing gauge, and of easily effecting a great operation, which is now generally conceived to be so costly and difficult as to be impracticable. Lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol, and short branches of a few miles in length, in im mediate connexion with the Great Western Railway, may still be sanctioned on the broad gauge, but a special report must be made by the Committee on the Bill, setting forth the reasons that have induced them to advise such a gauge. 2ndly. Unless by the consent of the Legislature, it shall not be permitted to the directors of any com pany to alter the gauge of their railway. The other suggestions are, that any suitable mea sures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and from Oxford to Basing stoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South-Western Railway. The object of this is to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coasts and to the port of Bristol. The South Wales line and its branches, to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by the Act ; by this means a second continous line of rail- way to Ireland, a matter of much public importance, will be secured. It may, possibly, hereafter much facilitate our intercourse with America. Lastly the Rugby and Oxford lines, and Oxford and Wolverhampton, are to be still on the broad gauge ; but additional narrow gauge rails are to be forthwith laid down from Rugby to Oxford, and from Wolver hampton to the junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester line. And, if it should appear that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire dis ricts to the southern coast, every suitable: measure shall be promoted by Parliament to foOn a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. We trust that this report will be acquiesced in and adopted, and that thus the battle of the gauges, so fiercely con tended, may be brought to a peaceful termination. On the 3d inst. the Council of Berne adopted the three first clauses of the new Constitution without any amendment. Madrid papers of the 3d inst. have arrived. They contain no intelligence of importance. The Three per Cents. sold at 33f for cash, the Five per Cents. at 20, the Coupons at 191, the shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 386, and those of Isabel at 196. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. At six o'clock in the morning of that day the regicide LxCOMTE was guillotined at the Barrier St. Jacques. The Chamber of Peers on Monday passed the Wes tern Railway Bill and the St. Dizier and Gray Rail way Bill without discussion. In the Chamber of Deputies the discussion on the budges of Algeria had commenced. The Minister of War, who pronounced a high eulogium on Marshal BUG EAUD, was speaking when the post left. These papers contain some additional particulars on the subject of the illness and death of the POPE. " Cardinal de la Tour d'Auvergne received on the 4th of June, from Rome, the following communication:— " Eminence Reverendissime,—Aware of the lively interest your Eminence takes in the valuable health of the Sovereign Pontiff, I eagerly seize the opportunity of certifying in the most positive manner, that the slight indisposition, accom panied with a little fever, which prevented his Holiness from being present at the solemn high mass at Chiesa-Verova, for the fete of Saint Philip Nevi, has produced no ill conse quences, and that his Holiness may be considered as entirely recovered. I receive this information from the Pope's phy sician, my particular friend, whose declaration will allay the anxiety of your Eminence as to the alarming reports circu lated on the subject. " P.S. I am enabled, my Lord, to confirm, at the moment of closing my letter, the happy news of the restoration to health of the Sovereign Pontiff. It is quite positive, and I have it from the Austnan Ambassador himself. (Signed) " The Commander CAMILLE LOUIS DE ROSSI, " French Ambassador. " Rome, May 28." The Presse mentions having received a letteffrom Rome of the 30th ult., stating that " a surgical ope ration performed on one of the POPE'S legs produced a violent inflammation in that limb on the evening of the 26th; it made such progress during the follow ing da3s, that on the 30th the physicians lost all hopes of saving the august patient. GREGORY XVI. had long laboured under a chronic affection in the legs, in consequence of his habit of remaining during the greatest part of the day, seated at his desk." "We cannot undertake to-day," says the Univers, " the history of the long career and the difficult and glorious pon tificate of Gregory XVI. The last events which illustrated it are still present in the memory of Europe and the world. We find an immense consolation in recollecting the noble words which Gregory XVI. so courageously addressed some months ago to the Emperor Nicholas in favour of the perse cuted Catholics of his empire. He said, considering his great age, that the time approached when he should render an ac count to God, and it was under the inspiration of his piety as well as of his heart that he defended, on that solemn occa sion, justice and religion oppressed. His soul, full of faith, was not surprised by death. According to the ordinary rules the Cardinals are to meet in a conclave ten days after the death of the Pope, to proceed to elect his successor. The mass of the Holy Ghost, which precedes the conclave, will be celebrated accordingly on the 11th inst., in the church of the Priests of the Mission, on Mount Quirinal." Cardinal DR LA. TOUR D'AUVRRGNE proceeds imme diately to Rome to attend the Sacred College, which must be immediately assembled to elect a new Pope. Ile will, on the part of France, exercise a right which that power possesses, in common with Austria and Spain, of annulling the first election, should it prove disagree able to them. Spain, it is said, acts in concert with France on this occasion. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS arrived in Paris on Saturday. The railway from Paris to Sceanx was opened on Sunday. Mr. Tuosiss, a notary, has been arrested at Dijon, charged with being the author of the letters threaten ing incendiarism, which were addressed to the Mayor of St. Usage and Echenon on the 30th of April. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce had published the returns of the corn trade of France during the month of April last, from which it ap pears that the imports were—wheat, 85,946 metrical quintals; other grain, 4,066 ; flour, 414: exports, wheat, 776 metrical quintals; other grain, 22,512; flour, 2,241: and the quantities lying in the Go- vernment bonding stores, wheat, 144,183 metrical quintals; other grain, 23,334; and flour, 7,662.

HONEY and CO MM_ fICIAL NEWS; (From The .Sun of last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, including 500 on speculation. Prices were steady, but the market was not animated.-Shares were flat again. The general depression was felt at our sale to-day, and prices are rather worse. Many of the companies do not dis solve so well as was anticipated, and parties will not purchase in such a state of uncertainty.

Most of the ship arrivals to-day are with old dates. It is stated in accounts per West India mail from Belize, that the season's cutting of wood in Honduras will be short, owing to the want of labour and capital, and that an ad vance of 20 per cent. had occurred there in the price of ma hogany. The balance of trade between England, and America has been in favour of the former recently, as the following par ticulars will show :- " Quotations for sterling exchange rule much higher now than at the same date last year, which can be attriouted al most entirely to the position of our foreign trade; the tight ness in the Money-market, doubtless, has some influence. " It appears, by the most recent official returns, that up to the Ist of May, 1846, the importations were larger by several millions of dollars than they were for the corresponding pe riod in 1845; and it also appears, that in the same period, the exports this year have been more limited than last. This change in the foreign trade of New York is very good evidence that it has been the same throughout the country." The first importation of Pines has excited some interest. and a numerous party of gentlemen atttended this morning at Messrs. Keeling and Hunt's, in Monument- yard, for the purpose of-inspecting the fruit, which was in luxuriant con dition, and did credit both to the parties who have grown them, and the enterprising brokers who have so carefully at tended to the landing and conveyance e,f them from South ampton to London. The facilities offered by the dock and railway companies of that port are also of great important/ to the 'fruit trade, and indeed every branch of importation connected with perishable articles.

The Staats Courrant publishes the resolution of the 26th of May, 1846, containing regula tions connected with the law of the 9th of May, 1846, relative to advantages to be granted to the French commerce.

The rye, though it was affected by mildew, has reco vered within these few days , and is now finer than it has been for ma n y years. The linseed turns out well; the potatoes are very promising, and we do not see any signs of disease in appearance. TERSCHEN, MAY 30.—Her majesty the Empress of Russia arrived here this afternoon, at four o'clock, tra velling under the name of Countess Znaninski, accom panied by Priucess Olga, and the Crown Prince of Prus sia. Count Schueralow, Count Apixin, and Dr. Marans, physician to the Court, arrived at the same time. Dr. Mandt, the Emperor's physician, rode before to Micha lorice, near Cracow, where the Emperor of Russia expects to meet the Empress and his daughter. The Empress will pass the night at Bielitz, so that their Majesties will probably meet to-morrow. The accounts from Galicia are tolerably satisfactory. The corn is all sown, and there is every appearance of a remarkably fine harvest. The prices of cora have every where fallen.

MEANS OF RESUSCITATION AFTER IMIERSION.—At an inquest held. on Tuc 5 lay before William Carter, Esq., on the body of a man who died from drowning, several important directions were mentioned by Mr. Joseph Franklin Rose, surgeon, residing at No. 60, Stamford-street, Blackfriars-read, in reference to the means to be adopted in certain cases of droivning. lie stated that he had been appointed surgeon for that district several years by the Royal Hu mane Society, which daty he had that day resigned in consequence of the absurd and improper directions issued by the society. Ile would mention one rule wherein is stated that on no account whatever is the body of a person taken out of the water to be placed in an in verted position. He assured the Coroner and jury that he was able to prove that where a person is taken out of the water ap parently lifeless, it is absolutely necessary to place the head down wards, as the only means cf allowing the water to discharge itself and ease the inflation of the lungs. Although he had had very extensive practice in various cases of drowning since he had been in office, and found the above means prove successful, he was almost fearful of using certain remedies in consequence of the placards issued na whom he by the Royal Humane Society as the friends of Perso might be called to see would ' think that he had accelerated their . death, by adopting such remedies against the society's rules and directions. He was only anxious that the public should b e m a ade acquainted with his suggestion, as he felt satisfied that much good This is a question respect' would result, and the lives of man individuals would be saved. ldit give is to be hoped that medical risen of unquestioned authority g their opinlens 94 the pubject. medical which there should be no doubt,. at COURT CIRCULAR ( itoYal Highne;A Prince Albert honoured the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn with his company at dinner yesterday evening at their new Hall lii; Royal High• ness was attended by the Marquis orAbercorn, Lord G.

HIS HIGHNESS IBRAHIM PACHA. We understand that his Highness, accompanied by Major Dickson, and several members of his suite, went out late on Monday evening for a car r i age d r i ve, O n l eav i ng Mivart ' s, the carriage took , the direction of Regent-street, and went by Waterloo -place, along 'Whitehall, as far as Westminster Abbey, and then returned by Regent -street to the Regent's park. The Pacha there got out of his carriage and walked some distance in the enjoyment of a cigar. His Highness and party were absent from the hotel nearly three hours. Agreeably to his invariable custom, the Pacha rose early on Tuesday morning, a n & breakfasted at eight o'clock. His Highness and suite then prepared for being present at the inspection of the Guards at St. James's -park. Precisely at ten minutes past nine the Pacha, attended by Major Dickson, and accompanied by the officers of his suite, left Mivart's Hotel for Buckingham Palace. His Highness the Pacha was, immediately on his arrival, introduced to his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; and the Duke of Wellington, and his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, who had also reached the Palace, were also introduced to the Egyptian Prince. The Queen's saddle horses were, by the royal command, ordered from the mews for Ibrahim Pacha and his aides -de • camp and suite. At a quarter to ten o'clock the cavalcade left the Palace for the Horse Guards, where the inspection took place. A description of the proceedings appears in another column. Ibrahim Pacha was the great object of attraction, and no doubt the public announcement of his proposed presence was instrumental in drawing a vast number of the curious. His Highness wore the superb military costume of his country, a uniform of deep scarlet velvet, sumptuously embroidered in gold, with a cap of scarlet velvet. The left side of his breast was covered by several decorations, and he wore the ribbon and decoration of the Legion of Honour, recently presented to him by Louis Philippe while in Paris. The hilt and scab bard of the scymitar he wore were encircled by a profusion of diamonds and other precious stones. The other parts of his equipments were equally splendid. The members of his Highness's retinue ware all in rich military uniforms, with the exception of his secretary and interpreter. It transpired from a gentleman holding a high position in the army, that Ibrahim Pacha expressed his admiration of the infantry corps to the Duke of Wellington and Prince Albert, his Highness concluding his observations by saying that they were the finest troops he had ever seen, as a body and for their general equipment. His Highness seemed to participate in the spirit of the inspection, for he watched the movements of the troops with a keen eye, as might be ex pected from such a redoubtable commander. While on the parade Prince Albert called the Pacha's attention to the telegraph which was working at the Admiralty. The Pacha, on retiring from the parade, was cordially cheered by the populace. We had nearly omitted to state that his Excellency Sidi Ahmed, the Envoy Extraordinary from the Pacha of Tunis, and his attaches, were among the spectators, and were in several instances mistaken for the Pacha and suite, from the similarity in the eastern costume. The Pacha, on his arrival at Buckingham Palace, almost immediately took leave of his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington, to repair to his hotel with his suite. His Highness, after partaking of luncheon, granted interviews. A deputation of the Peninsularand Oriental Steam-Packet Company, consisting of Mr. P. M. Stewart, M.P., Sir John Pixie, Sir John Campbell, Mr. Wilcox, Captain Nairne, Mr. C. Ewart, Captain Bourne, R.N., Captain Thornton, R.N., and Mr. James Allan, secretary, waited upon the Pacha, at half-past two o'clock, by appointment, to present an address. Major C. Dickson had the honour to introduce the members of the deputation to his Highness, who received them most affably. Dwarkanauth Tagore, Sheriffs Chaplin and Laurie, Lord Dudley Stuart, and Dr. Bowring, M.P. were granted interviews with th e P ac h a i n the course of the' afternoon. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge caPed on the Pacha on Tuesday afternoon, and inserted his auto graph in his Highness's book of visits. His Highness, attended by Major C. Dickson, and the principal members of his suite, left Mivart's Hotel shortly after timr o'clock, to pay visits. His Highness called first on the Queen Dowager, at Marlborough House, and then went to their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, .the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince George of Cambridge, and subsequently the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, the Earl of Ellenborough, the Earl of St. Germans, and the Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons. The Pacha and party returned to Mivart's at a quarter past six o'clock to dinner. We understand his Highness and suite intend to leave for a tour in the provinces and in the Highlands of Scotland towards the close of the ensuing week, unless any unforeseen circumstances should arise to alter the contemplated move ments. The visitors to his Highness on Tuesday were extremely numerous. His Highness and suite went to Lady Peel's assembly shortly after ten o'clock. ARRIVAL OF THE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. PORTSMOUTH TUESDAY EVENING.-At s i x o ' c l oc k thi s morning three ;hips of war were seen rounding Bembridge Ledge, and BOOR after the Russian colours were distinctly made out. The squadron, congesting of the Ingermanland, 74, with the flag of Vice-Admiral Lulka ; the Manalay, 26 ; and the Prince of Warsaw, corvette, anchored at Spithead, about seven, saluting the garrison with 21 guns, which the platform battery returned. In the meantime the Com mander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, proceeded to Spithead, in the Lightning yacht steamer, his barge being towed out by her, and went on board the Ingermanland to pay his respects to the Grand Duke. He was received on board by Admiral Lulka and the Grand Duke, who is a lieutenant on board her, under a salute of 17 guns, which the Victory returned with a similar number. M. de Berg, First Secretary to the Russian Embassy, who has been wait ing at Portsmouth for the last ten days for the arrival of the Grand Duke, in company with the Russian Consul, Mr. March, also went off to the Ingermanland. On the Russian flag first being made out in the morning, the electric telegraph was put in requisition to convey the intelligence of the Duke's arrival to Baron de Brunnow, in London. The semaphore t e l egrap h a l so communicated the same to the Admiralty. Admiral Sir Charles Ogle remained but a short time on board the Ingermanland, returning on shore in his barge, leaving the Lightning, steam-yacht, to attend on his Royal Highness at Spithead. At eight o'clock the Russian ships were dressed in colours, following the example of the English ships, who, in consequence of its being the day appropriated for the keeping of her roost graciou3 Majesty's birthday, were all gaily decorated with flags; the Russian ships all doing us the honour of hoisting a British ensign at their maintop-gallant -mast-heads, with the Russian colours at the fore. At twelve o'clock they all fired a royal salute in accof d ance with our own ships. The Grand Duke, we understand, will land at half-past five o'clock, and, although no Russian standard is or will be hoisted, and, consequently, all public demonstration will be, by request, avoided, yet he will be received with all due cour tesy and attention. We understand he will remain at the Governor's house, but a suite of aparttn?nts have been or dered at the George Hotel, for the use of three or four of the officers. His Highness Ibrahim Paella left with the authorities at Portsmouth 301. to be given to the poor. THE JUBILEE OF THE CRUSADERS.—The Mica) re presentation of Benedict's Crusaders is to be commemmorated on Friday evening, by the additional talents of Monteriego, Cassello, Dulken, Wallace, Richards, and though last, not least, the favourite Carlotta. LONDON COFFEE AND EATING HOUSE KEEPER'S ASsocIATI , N.—At a Committee meeting held at Anderton's Hotel last night, Mr. Binmere, the President, in the chair, it was resolved to have an excursion to the fashionable and fe4roured watering place, Brighton, in July next, in aid of the funds of that excellent institution, when an opportunity will be presented to their friends of enjoying that delightful trip at a very moderate charge, at the same time, through the extreme liberality of the railway Company, yielding a surplus to the funds. 'The magistrates of Newcastle last week imposed a fine upon a female in that town for throwing orange peel on the causeway. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Our readers will recol lect a few weeks since we briefly alluded to a marriage in high life, which was on the moment of being solemnised, the interested parties being Lady Anne Elizabeth Mary Grenville, only daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham, and Mr. W. IL Gore Langton, grandson and heir of Colonel Gore Langton. In evident answer to a paragraph which was inserted in our columns that the marriage i was only deferred for a short period, a counter-statement was made by a respected contemporary. The assertion on our part is fully borne out, and therefore we need not make further remark. Yester day morning, at the unusually early hour of eight, the nuptial cere mony was solemnised at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, between her Ladyship and the Hon. Gentleman, the Rev. Henry Howarth, the rector of St. George's, officiating at the solemn rite. The fair bride was taken to the church by Lady Braybrooke, who in this delicate family matter has considerately acted the maternal part. The marriage was private, and singular to state the Duke and Duchess of Buckingham and the Marquis of Chandos were absent. AN HONEST PROPOSAL.—TiIe following appears in a Yankee paper of May 18 :—" State Loan of 300,000 Dollars.—lt will be seen by the notice of the Commissioners of the Canal Fund that iof proposals will be received until the 2d of June next , for a loan three hundred thousand dollars at 5 per cent., redeemable after , 1864, for arrearages to contractors and others on the p ublic works. The newspaper evidently makes one mistake in the above paragraph. We perceive It was intended that the bonds should not be redeemed at any time. PRIMIOSE-HILL PARK.

The publiC, hating reserved themselves for the Cup and Ibrahim Pacha, a brilliant day's racing Wai left to the ex elusive enjoyment of the epicures of the turf, and was got through with a cl )ser attention to time than was observed on the first day. It is known that the Queen will not be present this day, and it is doubtful it the Prince Consort will attend. It will be some consolation, however, to her Majesty's loving subjects, that orders have been received at the Royal Stand to provide for the reception of Ibrahim Pacha. His Highness is expected to arrive about one o'clock.

Nickle, of Glasgow, came off at the Old Hat. After a very fair start, the men r u n to ge th er a short dist ance , w h en it became clear that the Londoner had the turn of speed, and he ultimately went in a gallant winner by six or seven yards. Betting, before the start, 6 to 4 on Patterson, it being generally said that Nickle, in addition to being overmatched, was not in tip-top con dition. JouN SMITH AND D. CUNNINGHAM—The Regent-street Pet and Dan. Cunningham, the Irish lad, tried their pace in a spin of half a mile, for 25/. a-side. It was a one-sided affair, owing to the unfitness of Smith to run the distance; at about 700 yards, Cunningham then having a strong lead, Smith reeled and gave in; indeed he seemed to have had enough at a quarter of a mile. There were some frivolous objections made as to the Irish lad not running the distance, which may serve for discussion among the litigious and dis- putatious, but there can be no doubt as to the winner of the race, both according to the spirit and the letter of sport ing law. MAtzATIRATT AND WESTHALL—We have already hinted, that Mallatratt demurred to the appointment of the day and place made by the stakeholder; this objection he bore out by not appearing at the spot and time named by that per• sonage. Westhall went over the ground, with what result we shall hereafter announce. ISIALLATRATT AND /011 N. SMITIL—In this affair Malla tratt has forfeited the deposit made; the match is, there. fore, off. MATCH AGAINST TlME.—James Tierney (in time by past, a soldier in the 61st Regiment), and well known to race goers as a roadside runner, is backed for 20/. to run to Ascot Heath and back again in seven hours, starting at nine o'clock from Houghton-street, Clare-market; the distance is 56 miles.

In passing under the Chiltern Hills the other day, our atten tion was pleasingly attracted to scores of blazing fires, composed of dried turf cut off the sides of the hills, prepa ratory to its being brought under the influence of the plough, with a view to its immediate cultivation. So little do our excellent farmers in this neighbourhood dread the affrighting bugbear of free trade, that some of them, parti cularly our esteemed townsman Mr. Banwell, are now adopting an expensive process to cultivate that part of Wat lington hill attached to his extensive farm, almost to its summit. We are firmly persuaded that if sufficient energy and capital were expendeel on the land, in connexion with other measures, the British farmer will be able to cope with any cmpetiti94 the wstrldew-RerAo and Ruche Qa,;ette, penses. •q- 4 A B Mr. RICHARDSON asked whether they could not pert .„. the Direct Manchester line to join them in prosecu their object?

As to a e other question, he had to answer, that they had tried to effec t a union with several of the direct lines to Manchester, but a s yet without success.

They were carried home while one of their companions ran to Gignac, the nearest place, for a medical man named Monge; but he refused to stir unless he was paid 60f. in ad vance. The poor man who came to him had no more than 5f., wilL er ! Monge received as earnest and went to Rebuty. On coming to the house where the sufferers lay, he again refused to enter without being paid his 60f. in hand. M. Scrigna, for whom the men had been work ing, not having so much immediately at command, promised that it should be paid. Monge persisted In his exaction, and, in spite of the entreaties and promises of all around him, and even the cries and - moans of the wounded men, gave ru d e an d p erem pt o ry denials, 010 mately walking off with the sf. in his pocket. This conduct was re' presented to M. Crouzet, the special commissary of police for the railroad, who immediately sent to Monge a written demand for rest!' , tution of the sf. ; but the doctor not only refhsed to comply, but shut his door in the face of the officer who presented the summons. to the morning M. Martin, Mayor of Parmes, who is a medical Man, arrived at Rebuty ; but, the state of the wounded was so much aggro". vated by the delay that he founded them both in danger, and one them so bad as to leave no hope of his outliving the day. Justice. says the Semaphore," will no doubt be done, not Only On the rtepteetii Out PA.; es the 'nuttily Drag 249 PP!! ............. y LEIC , ESTER AND BEDFORD WAY.

To effect this it was an obj e ct with the ConfPae% to form a junction with the comp an i es a t both ends of It t; line—with the London and Yo r k i n th e so eith, and with "" Midland Counties in the north. The dh-ectors' therefore ! put themselves in communication with ta."'e Lon d on and e York at an early period, and he was g l a d t o bay that tha t had met with the most friendly ,aid an d assisten,,e' • 4 l,„,, a : k while this friendly aid and assistance was rent:se"' both companies had maintained their indepe.,eeacet; (Hear, hear.) He said that the direct communicatiese vn , t the metropolis had already been achieved in that great of the Loudon and York, on which he hack the greatest pleasure in congratulating those gentlemen.. N't, withstanding the s uc cess they had achieved,' it peas sti the intention of this Company to preserve their intogritye and only make use of ehe London and York line in, their approach to the metropolis.—(Hear, hear.) It bac' been also the intention of the CoDwany to effect a conne.i , i oll with the Midland Counties, and by their line to =spiels' a direct communication with Manchester and the ether Larg, ll towns of the north. At an early period after the forma tioa of the Company the Chairman opened A correspondence with that Company, and the result was an invita til l ) 3 11 to meet with their board at - IX.7bY ; but , was sorry to say that, notwithstanding ther frietKof disposition, they had not met with that attention and ft: couragement from that Company which they :tad been 1:: i to expect. When they arrived at Derby they Tore told the part of the other company, that they m us t fo." (11a "m i . A. ante with the South -Midland, and that afte r that .tua 7 ar e. land would be ready to treat with them on the subjeael,_ eQ e e t h alliance.

He asked whether gentlemen : 97 ` . 4 - thiuk it right to accept these terms?—(Hear, hear. ) w „'";a r. Stephenson was the gentleman deputed from the F l: t h i ; hands to communicate with them ; to him, then,., e " • first thing that they had said was, that object was not to stop short with a commanicit between Leicester and liitchin ; it was their object to pronn o on to London, and with this :Lew they had put thensselY 4i . e correspondence with the London and York. What convel".; ence would the Midland s o ff er ? It wa s no t their intenti on to use the London and York line excel!. between Hitchin London. Mr. Stephenson said, " Name not the London, t 111,1,, York, for between th e L on d on an d York and t i',„ • London and Birmingham th ere was war--War to ' the" knife." He said they a s k e d M r . St e phenson ~ "tts the Midlands would agree to their employissg the engineer on the London and York, but he answer wee they could not consent to any engineer f r om a hostile being employed in connexion with theirs. Such ive.q the .rjd. terview that had taken place between them a n d the .19..'":., 6 Company. They still hoped, however, to effect an aliv — to with that Company, and with this view asked tant, h is consider the terms before they gave an answer ; oos having been agreed upon, they drew up a worded with every care to avoid offence, to the effect, 11 .`:,„ that no terms could be accepted compromising the indee't e 7 . dance of this company; or second, inconsistent with its pet tion with the London and York ; and third, that they offortr::: to the Midlands an interest equal to that offered to the Lo b e don and York.—(Hear, hear.) He thougb h ad that he au by ' this time shown that the directors, a ft e r comple&g aenti e l c s o , with the London and York, but failing with thsf' d u ct pc.r their failure was in consequence of the course of coeeTotwiwie sued by the Midland Counties.—(Hear, hear-) standing these difficulties, he saw nothing top .revent th 2.12., prosecuting their original object. But there was on e ae portant feature which lie wished to explain. At the tm that this line commenced, the ses s io na l orders had not beseu isnied requiring 10 per cent. deposit, and they lead °WI required of the shareholders a deposit of 5 per certt : but the directors, having the fullest confidence in this line that it would be profitable to the shareholders, and p rev a great advantage to the public, had taken it upon their cent responsibility to pay 10 per cent. into the hands of the . Ac countant-Generas—( Hear, hear.) He was sure that t would meet with their entire approval. The directors also would take care, in respect of all the deposits made by the shareholders and other sums yet to be paid, that thej should receive five per cent. on all such money.—(Hear, hear.) 13 e had no other expectation than that the meeting 7ou:ld unanimously apprave of proceeding with the Bill. The solicitor then read the Bill. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution, approving of the '... 511 and giving the directors power to proceed. Mr. LINDSELL seconded it. Mr. D. W.
