GENERAL T0M711133111, being upon the eve of quitting England, has been anxious to mark his departure by a grace ful act of gratitude to Mr. W. Batty, the proprietor of Astley's Amphitheatre. On th e lit t l e general ' s arrival in England be was desirous of. having an equipage of pro rOrtions suitable to his own Lilliputian dimensions. There was no difficulty about the carriage—very little t rou bl e i n obtaining boys competent to driving the vehicle ; b u t th ere was a grand obstacle in the ponies. Cinderella's fairy was not at h, n't to manufacture them from lizards—nor could an importatit n from Pegu be accomplished in sufficient time. In this dilemma Mr. Batty stepped forward and kindly sup plied the gen era l w i t h a p a i r o f b eau tif u l littl e animals fr o m hl3 own magnificent stud, which the public have for months had opportunities of admiring; the general, recognizing that mark of attention, by pr,lienting Mr. Batty with a pair of charming white ponies, which lie has lately been using, and we conclude they will often be seen upon that stage where we are accustomed to look for rare specimens of the equine race.

We yesterday traced the proceedings to be taken, in order to make the compulsory improvements a charge upon the inheritance of the lands, which they become when registered with the clerk of the peace ; the amount is limited to three years value of the land. The next important part of the proposed measure is the manner of arranging the compensation for such improvements, to be paid to the outgoing tenant. In this respect we think that the method contemplated by the Bill is a considerable improvement on that sug gested by the Commissioners. They recommended that if the tenant should be ejected, or his rent raised, within thirty years, the landlord should be bound to pay such a sum, not exceeding the maximum fixed, as the work should then be valued at ; in other words, the whole cost of the improvements as registered with the clerk of the peace, making allowance for the diminution in value by the lapse of time. The prin cipal objection to this method would be, that it would create a fertile source of dissension and litigation between the landlord and out-going tenant. Few would be prepared to agree on the present value of improvements which had been effected perhaps twenty years before, and in the great majority of cases recourse would be had to law for the purpose of deciding that value, and the feelings of both parties would be mutually em bittered. The Bill, on the other hand, greatly simplifies this ; there can be no dispute as to the sum payable; it takes the fair average of the wear and tear of the improvements, and it ap portions the sum payable to the tenant accord ing to the time during which he has himself been in the actual enjoyment thereof. Thus, if removed during the first seven years, he shall receive the entire sum he has expended; if at the end of four teen years, three-quarters ; at the end of twenty-one years one-half, and at the end of 28 years one quarter. A further option is afforded to the landlord with the view of inducing him to continue the tenant in the occupation of the land, viz., that where the period of the tenancy had expired antecedently to the twenty-eight years, and the landlord chose to con tinue him in possession until the expiration of the whole twenty-eight years, the tenant should not be entitled to any compensation. This is fair enough as afford ing a premium to the landlord not to disturb the pre sent occupant ; we, however, sincerely trust that long before such a provision could come into operation, the extension of the Ulster tenant right to the whole of Ireland will have taken away the utility of such a provision. The next point is one which will too frequently be required in Ireland, arising from the injurious system of middlemen. It is that when the immediate landlord, who paid the tenant for the im provements, had himself but a terminable interest in the lands, he should be repaid the sum advanced by him by those who succeed him in the estate. This is but equitable and just, and a carrying out of the prin ciple on which the measure is founded, viz., that those benefiting by the improvements should be bound to pay therefor, and should not be exposed to the temptation of seeking to evict their tenants for the mere purpose of enjoying the im provements effected by them. The only remaining provision is, that on the completion of the works by mutual consent, the landlord should be at liberty to pay the tenant the whole cost of the improvements, and thereupon to obtain the allowance provided by the Bill on the outlay. We think that this might with great advantage be extended, and that the landlord should at any time be at liberty to pay the tenant the amount expended by him. It has been considered on all sides most desirable that, if practicable, the improvements should be effected at the cost of the landlord, who, in the increased value of his estate, and its freedom from change or incumbrance of any kind, would find the most bene- ficial result of his expenditure, while the entire capita _ _ _ of the tenant would be devoted with the greatest utility to its proper and legitimate object—the due and proper stocking and cultivation of his farm. Such ,s the first of the three measures introduced for the improvement of the relationship of landlord and tenant, and we do think that, in the words of Lord DEVON'S report, no single measure can be better calculated to allay discontent and to promote sub stantial improvement throughout the country. Its principal defects may be easily remedied in Com mittee, Its benefits will, however, be principally for the future generation. Unfortunately, there is no compensation afforded to tenants for improvements already effected. We had hoped that there would no longer be a possibility of the recurrence of such a scene at that which was recently enacted at Bird-hill, where a tenant, who had within a few years expended his entire capital in permanent and valuable improve ments, by which the value of his holding was ma terially increased, was driven out with hi s f am ily on he wide world to destitution and ruin, without one farthing's allowance for his large outlay, which amounted to at least six times the rent in arrear. We cannot see any difficulty which there would be in giving full effect to such a provision. Arbitrators might be appointed in a similar manner to that provided by the Bill, and they might adjudicate not merely on the propriety of the improvements which had taken place, but on the cost actually incurred and the time when it was expended. The provisions of the Bill might then be extended thereto, and a vast boon would thus be conferred on a large portion of the tenant-farmers of Ireland, and an immediate be nefit to the country. The friends of the Irish farmer je, at the *proper a_Tdthey are numerous and intelligent in the H ouse , w ill doubtless'. seek to . insert a provision with such an ohet stage. The other Bills, th oug h already spoke n will still eir that of which w e h ave d r is t t he improvement efl less cons ecluence than Bien f o et a material improve ment. The first is a, of the law with respe c t ment. This appears almost entirely fo ss und an e d d eject- n Commissioners' rep ort. The right of distroa l ...the g rowing crops is a lto g ether taken a way. Thi s gets g rid of a most vexatious power, and one very a bused. The notice to t h e likely to be tenant of the amount claimed,, and permitti ng the distress only to be made by virtue of a warrant or order to distrain in writing, signed by the land lord or his agent, will be most valuable. The first shows the tenant exactly the demand which he is called on to liquidate, and the second takes the power from a class of all others the last to which it could properly be entrusted. We mean the bailiffi and drivers, who were frequently guilty of the greatest cruelty and oppression, in order to impress their em ployers with an idea of their own activity. It is fitting that the responsibility attached to such a pro ceeding should be cast on the proper party, the landlord or his agent. There is, unfortunately, no clause carrying out the recommendation of the Commissioners, " that the occupying tenant, under a middleman or mesne land lord, should be protected by statute from the danger of a double process of distress, to which he is at pre sent exposed." It appears that Lord LINCOLN wished to have a provision on this subject introduced, but that it had been struck out under the advice of an eminent lawyer connected with Ireland : his Lord ship promises to be prepared with the grounds for this course against the next discussion. We doubt if THE SUN, LONDO they will be found sufficiently cogent to set aside the strongly expressed opinion of the Commissioners, we have known some fearful cases of hardship to the :occupying tenant, in fact ruin entailed on him by the existence of such a power. The remainder of the Bill relates to ejectment : the civil bill ejectment has been retained ; it has been a vexata questio amongst the best informed persons on the subject, whether this power is beneficial to the tenant or otherwise. The Commissioners reported in favour of its continuance. It has certainly an advantage in its great cheapness, compared with a similar proceeding in the superior courts. The landlord will be bound to serve a notice on the tenant of the amount claimed, and an increased facility is given to the tenant to redeem before actual possession is taken. We think this might advanta geously be extended to the six months after the execution of the habere, within which time the tenant has power to redeem by filing a bill in a court cf equity, the heavy costs of which might easily be dispensed with. A power might also be given (perhaps with advantage) to enable an under-tenant :to pay the proportion of rent fairly due for his particular holding, and thereby to stay proceedings, so far as he was concerned. In many cases he may at present, through the default of others, be evicted, although able and willing to pay the entire sum due in respect of his own tenement. The most valuable provision, however, is that which enables the middleman's interest to be evicted with out serving any notice on or disturbing the under tenants, who will stand precisely as before. Much difficulty will by this means be removed from the land lord, and it will prevent the recurrence of many of the fearful and heartrending scenes which have recently taken place in Ireland. The last is for the reduction of the stamp duty on leases where the rental does not ex ceed 501. per annum. We have already stated the benefit which will thereby be rendered not merely to the people at large, but also to the revenue. Much still remains to be done, but we gladly accept the present measures as large and valuable instalments to the tenants of Ireland. 'We hope the next instalment will comprise the extension of the Ulster tenant right, and the cultivation of the waste lands through out the kingdom. Ireland continues to be the Parliamentary Sphynx, and promises to continue yet awhile the inscrutable problem, the solution of which has baffled the astute ness of so many statesmen. Eventful and extraordinary as was the present session upon its commencement, the position of the Commons and the Ministry at this moment is, perhaps, altogether without a parallel. There are simultaneously before that House two legislative measures relating to our sister island— both introduced by Government, and yet of an essen tially and 'diametrically opposite tendency—the one coercive, the of her conciliatory. Upon the Curfew Bill the Irish representatives cannot pronounce an opinion without giving utterance to the most acrid in vective, or without evincing the most resolute and unanimous antagonism to the Cabinet from which has proceeded. Their reception, on the contrary, of the three Bills propounded by that same Cabinet, and the explication of which was uttered on Thursday by Lord LINCOLN, has been cordial and generous in the ex - tremest signification of those adjectives. On one hand there are indications of resentment, ani- mosity, and indignation ; on the other, of gratitude and satisfaction. Those amongst our legislators who are desirous of benefiting Great Britain generally—independent of all conventional par tialities, and of all constituential predilections, will assuredly never dream of ousting a Ministry pre cisely at the very moment when the greatest social and commercial boon that ever fell to the lot of Englishmen to possess is on the eve of being assured to them for ever ! Assuredly they will not be pre posterously intermeddling enough to annihilate the tree just as the pear is ripe, and quivering over our mouths ! Assuredly they will not render the whole of this prolonged and arduous session null and ineffective at the identical instant when our statesmen are preparing to garner up the harvest of their labours I They can preserve the liberties of Irishmen intact, they can sustain their own in dividual consistency unsullied, and yet permit us to obtain free trade. They can do this ! And again Trc aak, aaa Wc arc not expecting from the Irish Members any resignation of their rights to interfere when the happiness of their countrymen and constituents is in any way threatened by a measure— it would be madness and cruelty to anticipate such a concession. Nor do we desire the acquisition of free trade, if it must be purchased with anything de rogatory to the comfort or convenience of any division of the United Kingdoms. But we do anticipate, and we do desire, that no superfluous am bition to be regarded as patriotic and unflinching will induce any sections of our Legislative Assembly, so to coalesce in the earnestness of their opposition to the reading of a certain Bill as to abruptly circum vent the good intentions of the Ministry, and by so doing wantonly retard the possession of a glorious policy. Can they not recognise in the assumed fervour of their temporary associates the vindictiveness of personal pique to the Premier rather than a spontaneous goodwill towards Ireland ? Can they not perceive that the irrigation of Terra del Fuego, or the assessment of local taxes upon the hedgers and ditchers of Paramata, would just as readily excite the eloquence and arouse the enthu siasm of their qua si-colleagues if such matters could as fully tend to the destruction of the present Government ? Do they not, in fine, perceive that the whole affair, from beginning to end, is a ruse for their entrapment, very artfully designed upon the surface, but very shallow notwithstanding? San guine that they have discovered thus much, we shall look anxiously for the consequences in dicative of that discovery. Upon the ba lance of votes upon the obnoxious measure depends the final assurance of free trade to Great Britain. Upon that balance of those votes does not depend the final rejection of a feudal policy towards Ireland. The preference, therefore, to employ a homely comparison, is one of chalk and cheese. It is the exemplification of Esor's dog—dropping ,he substantial meal to seize the shadow in the water. Before any rash decision be arrived at, let another matter be taken into conside ration. Let all those legislators who declare them selves so explicitly as having the welfare of Ireland at heart and who simultaneously evince so much antagonism to the Ministry, let them, we say, meditate seriously and dispassionately upon the effect which must inevitably flow from the proposed measures relating to landlord and tenant in that country, such as those measures were shown to be by Lord LINCOLN, and from such deductions let them judge of the principles and sentiments by which the present Cabinet is actuated—whether for good or evil ? Before they drive matters to an issue, let them, we repeat, scrutinize the commencement of the scheme about to be introduced by the Noble Member for Falkirk, and see if they cannot estimate its entire dimensions as ex pede Herculem. A great responsi bility reposes in their hands ; the people will not allow their confidence to be abused with impunity. Irrespective of locality and personality—not confining their notions t yci o unba a lr itecoercionloaf o m ß o_r i 1 1 twhoietrh snoreo t u o t any looking neyar early separate infraction of pillow —our l eg i slators must take retirement a t o capacious a t p h a e ci outs o untaxed atnh de comprehensive survey of the various questions now awaiting their decision, or which have already received their approbation; and, desiring only the general pros perity, and peace, and happiness of society, they must ac t upon the dictates of their deductions. It is not so much whether the Irishman consents to become amenable to the laws, and to abstain from rioting, and tumult, and murder, or that, like FALSTAFF, he refuses his acquiescence "on compulsion !" But it is whether Parliament is to be dissolved, the Ministry disba nded, the g round towar ds the acquisi tion of free trade retraced, and the p rotecti ve system excitementthrown f into e general the r a l t teeth election—these f the people, amidstarethe the excitement of a general election—these are the con con- sequences which must be earnestly do we commendtakethn into eirconascicdoeurnattio; consideration to o English and Irish representatives indiscriminately. They are considerations of infinite moment. A letter from Lucerne, in the New Zurich Gazette, states that the almost simultaneous p resence of the three Ministers of Austria, France, and Prussia, in that capital, had for object to deter the FOPE'S Nuncio from publishing the interdict against Argau, which is I said to be in his hands. Madrid letters and papers to the 6th have arrived The Spanish Government had received dispatches from Lisbon, dated the Ist. At that date, the PAL.. twEr.LA Ministry was in existence, and there appeared to be every probability of its obtaining support. Lisbon and Oporto both held out for the Govern ment, and several juntas had sent in their adhesion to it. In relation to Portugal, the Herald() re affirms a rumour which it had mentioned on the preceding day, viz., that a revolutionary junta had been established at Coimbra, which was fully or ganised in every department, and which had issued a circular, declaring that they would accept of nothing ,hort of perfect liberty for the people, a reduction in the army, and the assemblage of a constituent Cortes. The excursion of the Queen of SPAIN to the sea•side has been countermanded. Don HENRY remains at Bayonne, in consequence of having been deprived of the services of Lieutenant VELARDE, his aide-de camp, who has been ordered by the Minister of Marine to return to Ferrol. The Trapani marriage is, it is said, no longer possible ; the Prince of Coburg it is now considered Kill be the succcssful candidate for her MAJESTY'S hand. It is reported that a band of robbers have seized General SERANO, near Costa del Rio, and that they demand a large sum of money for his ransom.

The debate on Algeria had occupied the attention of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, and had been distinguished by two remarkable orations, one by M. DE LAMARTINE attacking the Govern ment, and the other by M. GUIZOT in its defence. These speeches are commented on in all the Paris papers. M. DE LAMARTINE denounced the cruelties perpetrated by BUGEAUD in Africa, and M. GUIZOT, in reply, read a letter, not from Marshal BUGEAUD, but from Gen. LAMORICIERE, stating that he had restrained his men from taking summary vengeance on the Arabs. With regard to the future, M. GUIZOT considers that France should rule in Algiers as the Dutch rule in Java. He admits that no assimilation of race can be made between Arabs and Europeans, but he declared emphatically that neither the extermination nor the banishment of the natives should form part of his policy. The general discussion closed on Wednesday, and on Thursday several of the items of the Budget were voted. In the Chamber of Peers the Dijon and Mulhouse Railway Bill was under discussion. It is feared that of the three French Cardinals one only will be able to attend the conclave for the elec tion of Pope. The Cardinal Archbishop of Aix is seriously ill, and the Cardinal Archbishop of ARRAS is of so advanced an age that it is thought it will be im possible for him to undertake a journey to Rome. The Cardinal Archbishop of LYONS will, it is feared, be the only French Cardinal in the conclave.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE l3, 1846. SMITH V. KING. The plaintiff in this action is a builder in Took's-court, Carey-street, and the defendant is a baker in Marlborough road, Chelsea. The plaintiff's demand was for 131. IGs. for work and labour. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that an agreement had been entered into between the parties that the plaintiff should do certain work for the sum of 501., but that the de fendant wished alterations to be made from the original plan, for which the plaintiff charged 9/. 18s. It was admitted that 46/. 2s. had been paid on ac count, and that a small portion of the work was left unfinished, the defendant having set other persons on the job ; this portion of the work, however, was estimated at eight villy. tho toorttwarzs.) it was contended that the defendant was bound to lay out 50/. on the house, and plaintiff knew it, and agreed to do the whole of the work for that sum; and, in fact, it was not worth more, and that, having been paid a part, plaintiff agreed to take the rest out in goods. Nineteen shillings was paid for the work left unfinished, and money was advanced to plaintiff to pay:the surveyor, and bread supplied to his men beyond the amount of 501. The Learned JUDGE said the case depended almost en tirely on the memory of the witnesses on each side. It was a great pity that tradesmen entering into such agreemen t s did not reduce them into writing. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. BANKRUPTCY.---(THIS DAY.) Before Mr. Commissioner FONBIANQUE), IN RE ITARLOW. This bankrupt, who had carried on an extensive business as a tobacconist and cigar dealer, came up to pass his last examination. He was supported by Mr. Lawrence. It ap peared from his evidence that he had formerly been in business, and was insolvent at that time, owing a Mr. Fryer a sum f about 1,500 1 . Mr. Fryer afterwards opened the shop and put in the bankrupt as his agent, and he continued so from 1841 to September last, when Mr. Fryer said that he had lost so much that the bankrupt must take the business on his own hands, and he required him to sign a warrant of attorney to pay Si. a week to pay off the 1,5001., a new debt, and said unless he did so lie must go out. Bankrupt had ordered goods before he took to the business to the amount of 100/., but finding he could not go on, he countermanded that and other orders. The Learned COMMISSIONER said Mr. Fryer must know that he could not prove for the former debt. Mr. NicnoLLs said he should submit that Mr. Fryer was not a creditor at all. He had allowed goods to be ordered and sent in in his name and to his shop, although the bank rupt's name was afterwards put up on the license board. The COMMISSIONER said that nothing appeared to prevent bankrupt passing his last examination ; his accounts were reported perfectly satisfactory. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.)

We perceive by an advertisement that that elegant and commodious hotel, " the Royal Waterloo," at Waterloo, has been opened for the season by Mr. H. S. Hewitt, for merly of the Adelphl, Manchester.

The decision in the case of Walstab v. Spottiswoode, re ported in yesterday's Sun, has formed the topic of very gene ral conversation in most circles here to-day. It is considered a matter most consistent with justice that the plaintiff should have the remedy she prayed for, and to have her money back, the Company never having gone into existence. The question, decided definitively, as we believe it now is, must be of vast importance in many other points of view, as not a few other individuals are placed in precisely the same situ ation as the plaintiff in the case under review. It appears from the Bank returns made public last night in the Gazette, that the circulation of notes has been increased to 28,325,0004 or by 331,120/. The " Rest" has increased 166/., or to 3,379,0441. The Public Deposits have increased by 524,8721., or to 5,753,5121. The other deposits have decreased 238,6071., or to 15,927,013/. In the seven-day and other bills there is a decrease to 852,0081. In the notes in the banking department there is an in crease of 424,620/., or to 8,468,180/. In the bullion there is an increase of 313,5991., or. to 15,011,6911. There are not any colonial arrivals of a late date an nounced from the colonies to-day. The market for the Public Securities has, just now, been rather fiat, though an hour or so ago as much as 95% was paid for Consols for the Account. The resent price is 95%; for the Three per Cent. Reduced 95 1 / s 1 %, while the Three and-a-Quarter per Cents., after having fallen to 96%, have rallied to 97 • The premium upon Exchequer-bills has just been down as low as lls. East India Bonds are steady at 20s. premium. In the Portuguese Four per Cents. there is a very heavy market this morning, the re-action having been to the ex tent of per cent. since yesterday, sales having just been made at 4512. Spanish Actives are at :244, the Passives at 51, the Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates at 91%, Chilian Deferred at 50, and Peruvian 371,4. The Railway Shares and Scrip are rather firm this morn ing. North Stafford Scrip has advanced to 4 premium. In the French lines there is scarcely anything doing. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Three per Cent.

Sir George Clerk has given notice of motion, that on Tuesday, the 16th of June, he will move the adoption of the recommendations contained in the minute of the Board of Trade of the 6th day of June, 1846, on report of Commis sioners for inquiring into the Gauge of Railways :- 1. That no line shall hereafter be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, excepting lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol, and excepting small branches of a few miles in length, in immediate connexion with the Great Western Railway; but that no such line as above excepted shall be sanctioned by Parliament, unless a special report shall have been made by the Committee on the Bill, setting forth the reasons which have led the Committee to advise that such line should be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge. 2. That, unless by the consent of the Legislature, it shall not be permitted to the directors of any railway company to alter the gauge of such railway. 3. That, in order to complete the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coasts, and to the port of Bristol, any suitable measures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Basing stoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South. Western Railway. 4. That the South Wales line, and its branches to Mon mouth and Hereford, should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Act. 5. That the Rugby and Oxford line, and the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton line, should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Acts : that the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade shall exercise the powers conferred upon them by the several Acts, and shall require that additional narrow gauge rails shall forthwith be laid down from Rugby to Oxford, and from Wolverhampton to the junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester line; and that if it should hereafter appear that there is a traffic requiring accommodation on the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire districts to the southern coast, any suitable measure shall be promoted by Parliament to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway.

The conflagration originated in some extensive premises at Counterslip, which run back to the wall of the flowing harbour, and are occupied by Messrs. Finzell and Son as a sugar re finery. The fire was first discovered at about a quarter-past two o'clock. As soon as the flames were observed an alarm was given, and the city engine and those of the West of England, Norwich Union, Crown, and other public companies, as well as several from private warehouses and manufactories, were speedily brought to the spot, and began playing upon the flames. The combustible nature of the materials, however, imparted such fury to the conflagration that all efforts to extinguish it proved unavailing, and the entire premises, with the valuable machinery and immense stock of sugars, were de stroyed. In the immediate neighbourhood of the refinery are sever al warehouses, as also Counterslip Chapel and newly-built day and Sabbath schools, and on the opposite side of the water Is the exten sive city poor-house known as St. Peter's Hospital; and for these buildings cent, erable alarm was at times felt. The books of the firm were fortunately secured, and one small store of sugar was not entirely destroyed, but it is expected that the loss will not fail short of 3•,0001., a Dart only of which is insured. What makes the matter more distressing is, that about eighty persons will be deprived of their means of livelihood. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT GREENOCIC.—On Sa turday evening, about ten o'clock, one of the most distressing acci dents we have had to record for a long time occurred on the river, about half way between the red lamp at the foot of Mar;aret-street ' and the powder-houses, by which two highly respectable gentle men have lost their lives. Mr. Edward G. Ilbery, the superin tendent of locomotives on the Greenock Railway, and his cousin, Mr. Henry Howell, the ' treasurer and secretary to Messrs. Stephenson, Mackenzie, and Brassy, the contractors for the new harbours now constructing here, went in a small pleasure-boat in their slippers to smoke their cigars and to enjoy the cool breeze on the river. They had not been long opt when a steamer upon a trial trip, having been recently built by Messrs. Bar and M'Nab, at their establish ment at Renfrew, came up the river at a rapid pace, and notwith standing the loud and piercing shrieks of the unfortunate gentle men to these on board to keep her off, she came right on the boat, cutting her as with a knife down to the keel, and killing both those in her. Mr. Howell was taken immediately out of the water by the people in the steamer, and though then alive, yet, from the violence of the blow he had received on his breast, he died almost Instantly. Mr. Ilbery was not seen after the collision, but it was evident he must have been also struck at the same instant with Mr. Howell, as in all likelihood he would, if uninjured, have saved him self, as he was all excellent swimmer. His body was not recovered till twelve o'clock on Sunday, when it was found that he had also been struck on the side of his head. Both gentlemen were English men, and unmarried.—Greenock Adrertirer. AN ANTIQUATED EXCAVATOR.—A few days since, as some labourers were digging trenches for the purpose of laying down the gas-light mains in Church-street, All Saints, an old woman named Chambers, who has attained the 106th year of her age, stepped out of her apartment, and facetiously hinted to the men that they did not appear to her sufficiently to understand the use of the pick-axe with which they were labouring, and by their leave she would just show them how it ought to be done. Upon being handed into the trench, the venerable dame dexterously gave sundry blows with the instrument, and sovigorously withal, that she was at length a unable to remove it from the earth into which she hd se strenuously forced it, without assistance. ghe the after wards returned to her domicile, well pleased with en, and instruction she had practically given to the work m en, which m she betook herself to her knitting, an occupation usually beguiles away the day, when not employ ed This truly wonderful remnant of anti i the year 1740, arid is affairs, which she performs with her own handusitrnd without assist ance.understand, of Brecon, in Wales, was history nory of h er long life is full I n i : her anauv native, household N,e consequently 106 years of age 1 The re t a ins her faculties in an extra with the exception of hearing, which sense has to date and circumstance.

The dog (which was a most courageous animal of the Spanish bull breed) was evidently alarmed, and skulked off to the hedge. It Is very probable that the eagles would have attacked either the Rev. Gentleman. or the dog, had they not b een d e t erre d b y the for-, midable appearance of nine large beasts which were near them in the same field. The birds took an easterly direction, and flew towards Farming Woods. There is, we understand, a tame eagle on the grounds of Stafford O'Brien, Esq., of Biatherwycke Park, which was visited some years ago by a wild bird of the same species. It is not improbable that the latter may have thought proper, along with some of its majestic fellows, to repeat this " royal visit."—Leicester shire Chronic e.

STATE OF TRADE.—The demand is slack for the home trade. Some orders have been received for the Continent, and the stocks on hand of useful goods are not very heavy. English wool yarns are more difficult to buy, and show a tendency to ad vitnce.--hicelterehire Mowry. FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL. BRUSSELS JUNE 9.—The average price of wheat for the week ending on Saturday June 6, was 23f. 42c., and that of Rye 17f. 98c. The Chamber of Representati v e s , i n it s s itti n g to-day, agreed to the project of law relative to the Luxemburg Railway, by a majority of 56 to 3. It then discussed the project of law relative to a vote of 28,000,000 f. for the war department for 1846. After a rather warm discussion, the question being put, it was found that there was not a sufficient number of members present. The Senate closed the general debate on the budget of the department of the interior, and that on the canal from Deynze to Schipdonck. WARSAW, May 25.—The police in Warsaw, which on former visits of the Emperor took all imaginable pains to excite the people to express their joy, by huzzaing, waving hats, 8.c., has in this remained in the background. It is said that this has been done by order of the Emperor himself. A groat sensation has been caused by a visit which the Emperor has paid to Countess Rosalie Nzenaska, Maid of Honour to the Empress. As this lady, whose husband 13 still in the struggle for the independence of Poland, whose brother, the celebrated General Duriter Chodkienioz, atoned for his love of liberty i n th e d ungeon of St. Petersburgh, is disclaimed by the Polish pat r i o t s as an apostate, t hi s i m perial favour, which is granted to very few persons, does not serve to regain the best respects of his countrymen. This honour is most strikingly contrasted with the treatment, still believed by many persons to be true, experienced by Countess Ka lisgi, for having saved the rash Dombrouski from death on the gallows; neither her beauty, nor her sex, nor the inter vention of her otherwise so influential uncle, the Minister Count Nesselrode, could do anything in her favour. She has been obliged to leave Warsaw with her father, Count Nessel rode, nephew of the Minister.—Brussels Gazette. [lt i s to be observed that the story of the treatment said to have been suffered by the Countess Balisgi, has been declared in several journals to be entirely without foundation.] CRACOW, MAY 27.—Since Colonel Szweikowski received the note from Warsaw. the preliminary investigation pro ceeds rapidly. It seems as if it were intended to implicate only a few persons—twelve or sixteen are discharged every day. WARSAW, JUNE 3.—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clo ck, the Emperor and Empress, with Princess Olga, ac companied by his Royal Highness the P r i nce o f P russ i a, arr ived heve , and were received in the Lazionsk P a l ace b y th e prince uo vernor and the principal c i v il an d m ilit ary au th or ities.
