Milner Gibson has attended at the Board of Trade, to collimence his official duties as Vice-President. Lord Lansdowne, the - new Lord Pres:drnt of the Council, was expected to return to town yesterday afternoon, from 80w0 , 4 Park, Wilts. Our anticipations are being realised, and the people, confiding in the integrity of the new Administration, are not only abstaining from all flagitious opposition, but are by every reasonable means affording to its formation their concurrence. Simultaneously with the acceptance of Lord JOHN RU6SELL by the electors of London, candidates of the same liberal policy are returned by tha constituencies of Nottingham and Worcester. A noble triad of testimonies these of popular confidence in the RUSSELL Cabinet! It is gratifying to observe on those three occasions the unanimity which prevailed between the principles advocated by the respective Members, and it is curious to 'remark the diversity of manner by which the announcements were characterised. In the Prime J!dinister's harangue we discover that wholesome ab stinence from detailed Ministerial disclosures which might alone have been anticipatA from one whose mind has ever been co remarkable for its discreetness • and sagacity. From the entire complexion of his declarations we learn the abstract generosity and the practical liberality which may be said to form the connecting girdle of his Cabinet, without being initiated into any precocious knowledge of the reforms, both social, commercial, and municipal, which will be undertaken by that Cabinet. It is but rational that the plan and tactics of the campaign should be di vulged before the cohorts are adjusted and caparisoned. The "talking tree" of the Arabian fable is beautiful, DO doubt, as a botanical allegory; but the tree that germinates in silence, and proclaims its own merits by an abundant fruitage, is iuirueaz:urab!y preferable to beings constituted like oursel°res, Rough fir us therefore, in all conscience, to observe the vigour, both of talent and principle, which is so conspicuous in the present Administration ; enough for us to recur to former seasons for evidence as to the actu ating principles of our newly-proclaimed rulers ; enough for us that a promise of emulation in the fur therance of liberality and judicious reform has been tacitly and directly given by the most eminent statesmen of the age, irrespective of all their former predilections of party ; enough for us that the new First Lord Commissioner of the Treasury has avowed to the citizens of the metropolis the posses sion of such enlarged and inimitable sentiments in respect to mercantile freedom, sanatory precautions, international friendship, civil liberty, and religious toleration. We can afford, after such noble declarations, to await in patience, and confidence, and hopefulness, the Ministerial avowals in the Minis terial measures. We can subdue all the exorbitant dictates of curiosity, and draw very largely upon our aspirations, without much fear of our calcula tions being materially disappointed. The ad dress delivered to the electors of Nottingham by Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSB affords us a direct contrast to the one delivered almost at the same moment, in Guildhall, by his leader. While the PREMIER restricted himself almost exclusively to affording us certain intermittent and encouraging glimpses of the Parliamentary future, Sir J. HOBHOUSE was enlarging upon the administrative past. As the former, however, was judicious, the latter appears to have been imperatively necessary ; the supporters of the rival candidate, Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, having forced some justification of his conduct upon Sir Jowl Casa Hounousz. Such a remonstrance as the following was undoubtedly only wrung from the Right Honourable Baronet by the importunate antagonism of his auditors ; when, after commenting upon the share the Whigs had in passing the Reform Bill, he proceeded— " I should like to know whether, beside that great mea sure, the party with which I have acted did nothing else fir the country? To whom do we mainly owe Catholic Emanci pation? Who was it who repealed the Corperarion and Test Act? Who, I should like to know, gave you the municipal franchise? Who, 1 should like to know, mitigated the criminal code? Who were the beginners of the great com mercial reform, which has now passed into active law by the instrumentality of the late Administration ? Who originated the penny postage, which, although insignificant iu sound, had carried real comfort and consolation into every house throughout the country?" Conscious, no doubt, of the moral stability of those principles, in the advocacy of which his opponent then stood before the enfranchised people of Notting ham, and aware how intimately those principles have interpenetrated the popular mind, Mr. O'CONNOR not ungracefully seceded from the contest, notwithstanding the enthusiasm of his reception. The cause which proved triumphant in the capital of the empire was paramount in the borough of Nottingham, and one amongst the many able and gifted col leagues of Lord Jour; RUSSELL was declared to be its representative. Worcester has likewise ac corded its acquiescence to the recent Ministerial innovations, and its satisfaction with the political tenets of the present Cabinet, by returning without the semblance of opposition a man who has been thoroughly drilled into the knowledge of legislation, not only as Secretary to the Board of Trade, and Secretary to the Treasury, but also as Private Secretary to Lord MELBOURNE. Sir DENIS LB MARCHANT was thus selected as the re presentative of Worcester in consequence of the late representative, Sir Tnomes WILDE having been no minated Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Com mon Pleas, in the room of that eminent and noble character, Chief Justice TINDAL, lately deceased. In these rapid elections of the Ministerial candidates in London, Nottingham, and Worcester, may we not perceive omens of prosperity to Lord Jous RUSSELL'S Administration? The people of England are, at the least, evincing their reliance upon its councils, and by the expedition of their proceedings show their earnest anxiety that " the good work'' should commence. We have on various occasions felt it our duty to direct the attention of our readers to the enormous powers conferred on members of the medical profes sion by the laws regulating Lunatic Asylums. Those laws confer on any two members of that profession the absolute power of imprisoning tbr an indefinite period any one of her MAJESTY'S subjects. In order to effect the arrest and imprisonment of any indi vidual, they have only to sign a certificate, stating that the person to be so arrested and incarcerated is, in their opinion, lunatic, and, without the institution of any investigation—withtsut being afforded an op oortunity of proving his sanity—without even being glade acquainted with the grounds upon which he is declared to be insane, the unfortunate victim of medi cal cupidity is seized and confined in a madhouse. We say the "unfortunate victim of medical cupidity," and we use those words advisedly ; for it is now matter of public notoriety that these medical certifi cates can be purchased at the rate of one guinea, half-a-guinea, nay, some even as low as five shillings each. For a knowledge of this fact the public are indebted to an excellent society, recently instituted for the purpose of affording protection to persons improperly incarcerated as lunatics, and we make the statement on the authority of Mr. LUKE JAMES HANSARD, who, in presiding over the founda tion festival of the " Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society," on Tuesday last, publicly declared that these medical certificates were eo sold. On that occasion there were present many persons who had been thus unjustly incarcerated, and who had been liberated in consequence of the exertions or the society. One of these persons was Mr. WrirrE, whose case certainly calls for a rigid investigation. It appears from the statement made at the meeting, that Mr. WHITE had ineumd the displeasure of some very powerful public body, and that they had caused him. to be incarcerated as a lunatic—that the society had taken up his cause, proved his sanity, and effected his liberation. Now, what public boly was this, and who were the medical men who signed the certificate authorising the incarceration of Mr. WRITE? Some one has been guilty of great ignorance or of great wickedness, and the public safety requires that those who have been so guilty should be brought to justice. But it is not stfficient to free those who have been tbjustly incarcerated ; the society should direct its efforts to the prevention of the possibility of any one being confined on a charge of lunacy without just cause. This can only be. Clone by legislative enactment. We would ;propose that, in every case of suspected lunacy, the coroner of the district and his jury should hold an inquest of lunacy on the person so suspected, who should have an opportunity of being present at the in quiry, of cross-examining the witnesses, of rebutting their testimony by the testimony of other witnesses, and of being assisted by legal or medical advisers-if he should think fit, and that the coroner's warrant, founded upon the finding of a jury after such an investigation, should be the only document authorising the keeper of any lu -1 natic asylum to receive into his custody any suspected lunatic. We throw out this suggesti on for the consideration of the society, and rejoiced we are to find that at length an association has been formed to take up the cause of those friendless and unhappy persons who are unjustly imprisoned as lunatics. We had hoped that the final decision of the Court of Exchequer in the case of WALSTAIS V. SPOTTIS WOODB, by which the question of the non-liability of the allottees of shares in the several extinct railway companies for any portion of the preliminary expenses, was fully and clearly settled, Would have put an end to the attempts made by the provisional committees to obtain a payment of the deposits claimed, or shares allotted, or even a con tribution on account thereof. It will be in the recollection of our readers that, immediately on the report of the proceedings in the case of WOOLAIER V. Tour, we showed that no decision whatever had taken place, and expressed our opinion that the ver dict in that case could not be permitted to stand ; still the apparent sanction afforded to the claim was not lost on the persons interested in such companies, and innumerable applications, accompanied by threats of legal proceedings in the event of non-compliance, were daily made to the several allottees ; and, in many Cases, pro ceedings w ere ac t ua lly i ns tit u t e d f or the re covery of the f u ll amoun t of the deposit. During this period we were no t idl e, but having satisfied oursel ves t h a t th e parties so applied to were neitlag legally not' =rally responsi bl e, nor bound either in law or in honour to make t any such payments, we repeatedly urged the suspension of such threats until the law should be clearly settled on the subject, and the question of liability or non-liability satisfactorily adjudicated upon, and set at rest. We pointed out the fearful consequences which would inevitably be entailed on the committee men if such a course was adopted, more than doubling the amount of their previous liability and losses, and rendering it next to impossible that they could hereafter ex tricate themselves from the difficulties in which they would thus become involved. We also commented upon the indecent haste adopted, and the threats used, which alone would prove the weakness of the cause of the claimants. And although some few persons, terrified by the prospect of actions, and unwilling to have their names brought before the public as railway speculators, which must necessarily have been injurious to their credit, were in duced to pay sums, by way of compro mise, we had the satisfaction of knowing that our exertions were not fruitless, but that vast numbers were thereby induced to oppose the attempted extortion, and to set at defiance the threatened pro ceedings, and thus to save themselves from serious loss. But if such applications were improper in that state of the proceedings, what can be thought of a perseverance in such an unworthy course ? What might p .ssibly be palliated before the judgment of the Court of Exchequer on the 12th June assutnes a very different character and aspect when attempted after the publication of the cases of WALSTAB v. SPOTTISWO ODE, and WONT NER v. SHARP. What before was indecent haste, now becomes grossly dishonest, and little b.tter than an attempt at swindling. No lawyer can now enter tain a doubt as to what must be the result of a suit on such a subject. No matter in which of the Courts it may be instituted, it must signally and entirely fail ; and yet solicitors, ay, and men of respectability, are to be found who will issue such letters, and make such unfounded demands. A correspondent has just forwarded to us such a letter, which, although dated the 27th of June, was not posted until last Friday. We give this precious document verbatim, merely withholding the name of the company and of the solicitor attached. We believe that it is one of the companies that should be the last to prefer such a claim, even if there was a possibility of its being sustained ; that the plans were found to be so defective, the entire of the engineering de partment conducted in such a slovenly and improper manner, the execution of it so impracticable from the number and height of the viaducts, the severity of the gradients, and the extent of the tunnelling, as to make it perfectly clear that it could not possibly be pro ceeded with, and that it was in consequence brought to an immediate conclusion, even without the plans having been deposited ; and yet they have the modesty to demand a contribution of ss. per share, which would amount to no less a sum than 25,000/. sterling for their preliminary expenses—which ought to be sufficient for its entire progress through Par liament, if the project had been well devised or pro perly planned. For the present we content ourselves with begging the parties who may receive such letters not to be influenced thereby, or induced to sa crifice their money. A few weak-minded persons, yielding to such unprincipled demands, will only have the effect of their being pressed on with greater vigour and determination. As well might they ac knowledge the justice of the highwayman's demand, who asks for their money or their life ; one has as much legal claim to enforce it as the other. One word more, should similar applications be continued, we will unhesitatingly lay them before the public, without keeping back the names of the parties by whom they are made. We feel it a duty we owe to the public, by whom we are supported, and our exertions are appreciated, to denounce and expose all such unprincipled and imptoper attempts at extortion. The following is a copy of the letter to which we have referred:— June 27, 1646. Sir,—ln consequenee of your inattention to the repeated applications of the Seeretary of this Company fur the pay ment of a small contribution as an allottee, I am directed to issue a writ against you immediately for the recovery of 421., the whole amourt of the deposit upon the shares al lotted to you in the above undertaking, and due upon your ' contract, unless I receive from vou a payment of ss. per ~`tare, and 3s. 6(.1., the cost of this application, on or befori, the Bth July. I trust you will at once see the justice and propriety 01 complying with this request, and thus prevent the unples • santness and expense winch will otherwise be the result of proceedings against you. I am sir, your most obedient servant. Letters from Rome etmtirm the news that the Chiet Magistrates, the Muoicipal Councillors, and the princi pal inhabitants of the el - def Roman cities have signed petitions to the new POPE, Pupplicatilig him, in the interest of his people, to have executed the memoran dum of 1831, addressed to the Sovereign Pontiff by France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia. M. GUARINI, Chief Magistrate of Ferli ; M. MASTAI, brother of the POPE, and Chief Magistrate of Sinigaglia, are amongst the signers of these petitions, which demand municipal institutions. The members of a great number of tri bunals have followed the example thus given by the municipal bodies. Independently of M. MASTAI FE. RETTI, chief magistrate of Sinigaglia, well known for his political moderation, Pope Pius IX. has another brother, who was captain of carbineers, and whom several persons remember to have seen at Marseilles amongst the political refugees from the Roman States. The POPE has appointed a Commission of Cardinals to consider and report upon the measures to be adopted by the new Government. The Commission is composed as follows :—There are three Cardinal Bishops, viz., Maccur, Sub-dean of the Sacred College ; LAMBRUS CMINI, who was Secretary of State to GREGORY XVI. ; MATTEI, iho was Secretary of State to the same Pope, for the Interiqr ; two Cardinal Priests, viz., A3IAT-DE SAN-FILIPO-E-SORSO and Grzzr ; and .Cardinal BER. NETTI, Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church. Madrid papers to the Ist inst. have arrived. A grand entertainment had been given by the French Ambassador to the Archbishop of BORDEAUX, who was about to proceed to Toledo. It is suspected that the object of his visit is to endeavour to bring about a marriage between the QUEEN and the son of Don CARLOS. The Gaceta publishes a decree for the suppression of the battalions of provincial militia, the maintenance of which was reckoned to cost about 60,000,000 reals. One of these papers contains a letter from the fron tiers of Portugal, dated June 28, which states that the Miguelite movement was at an end. On the other hand, the Heraldo states that it was rapidly extending through the province of Tras.os-Montes, and a letter from Vigo of the 25th, published by the Popular, an nounces that a body of 7,000 Aliguelites had gained possession of the place of Monzon, and that the insurrec tion bad ramifications in other towns along the banks of the Minho. Don ENRIQUE, it appears, made but a short stay in Paris. Be arrived at Brussels on rriday. Count BRESSON, the French Ambassador, has, in con• sequence of the receipt of dispatches from Paris, post poned his intended visit to France. The Three per Cents. were done at 32-i for cash, ex div. ; the Five per Cents. at 20-i- for paper ; the Debt without Interest, at 6i for cash; the Shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 280; and those of Isabel at 198. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The National and the Courrier Francais are indignant with Sir CHARLES NAPIER and Lord PALMERSTON for the speeches made by them at the dinner given by the Reform Club to Ibrahim Pacha. The minds of the writers of these articles are in some respects curiously constituted; they seem to think that enmities sheuld be eternal, and that it is impossible for those who have once met as enemies in war ever to become cordial friends in peace. The Journal de Lille says that Mademoiselle RACHEL, who was attacked recently by sporadic cholera, is im proving, and that her rapii convalescence may be ex pected. Some alarm was produced on the Paris Bourse, on Tuesday, by the statement in the London papers of the preceding day, that the returns of the quarter's revenue ending the sth instant, :lowed a comparative decline, Stock and shares felt the effect of this im pression, but recovered in some degree when it became known that Consols rose in London on Monday.

At Liverpool yesterday the sales of Cotton were 7,000 to 8,000 bales, including 500 American on speculation; 1,000 Pernams and Maranhams, at 4%d. to 5401. ; 200 Bahia, at 6d. to 64d. ; 100 Egyptian, at 5%d. to 6d.; and 300 Surat, at 3d. to 3. 1 4 d. per lb. The rest was American, at 4d. to 5 1 / 2 d. The market closed very firmly, and American was rather dearer to buy. Shares were firmer. It is with much pleasure that we have to note the fact that a Committee has been appointed for the purpose of ac tively promoting the " Penny Subscription" for the " Peel Testimonial." And in the most influential circles here, it is thought no one could have been selected better than Colonel Thoiapson, the talented author of the " Anti-Corn law Rhymes," as President, nor a more judicious selection as the Deputy, than Captain Polhill, to the " old friend of free trade." No doubt can therefore exist but that a most ample fund will be realised to carry out the great object, originally, and still advocated, by " Alfred," the talented Correspondent of our Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser. There have not been any later Colonial arrivals announced in the City this morning. The expectations entertained in some quarters that the directors of the Bank of England would at their early meet ing to-day announce a change in the rate of interest has not yet been confirmed, nor do we expect that any alteration will at present be announced. The Public Securities have been ratherheavy this morning. Consols for Money ex. dividend have receded from 96 1 to 115%, and precisely the same change has taken place in the quotations for the next settling day. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has receded rather considerably,: notwith standing a very considerable proportion of the surplus reve nue put at the disposal of the Sinking Fund Commissioners is to be laid out in purchasing such securities np.

Cubitt's evidence before the Select Committee of the House of Lords:— Would there not be some difficulty in case of having two gauges. Should there not be one uniform gauge in that ease ?—I think there should be one uniform gauge in any case. Can you make any sort of estimate of what the ex pense of the alteration would be ?—Not a decided esti mate, what it would cost to alter the gauges; but I could state a minimum and a maximum. I would say it would cost from 5001. to 1,0001. per mile to alter the gauges. That is not a large sum. The alteration, at all events, of the permanent way, could be made without stopping the traffic 2—Certainly. I am now going to relay a line entirely ; a new set of rails and fixtures altogether, and I shall not stop the traffic ; yet there are 80 trains a-day on that line, or 40 each way. Where is that ?—From London to Croydon. You have no doubt that it would be of considerable advantage to the country, in many points of view, that there should be one uniform gauge ?—There can be no iloubt about that. Both for traffic and for the military defences of the country ?—Yes, in every respect • I ail; not make ;lice exception, because I do not think one can be made. But I should be sorry to see other narrow gauge lines granted if there is likely to be an alteration, because there will be many miles of new railway ; many more than are made ; I think twice as many. You think this is a good opportunay for making the alteration?—l think if the thing is ever to be done there should not be a season lost, certainly. I think the thing may be easily done, and economically done, and done without loss to the public, and without loss t ,, the companies, and in a very short time, and at it Net.y moderate expense. CARDIFF.—OiI Sunday this town was visited with most terrific thun ter-storm. About nine o'clock it com menced, and continued with unabated fury, until about half past ten o'clock. The lightning was of a peculiar forked character. A small cottage was struck at Canton, a hamlet about a mile distant, and the chimney destroyed ; a man and woman, who were sitting near the fireplace at the time, were prostrated to the earth, and remained insensible for a length of time. They are, however, happily recovering. Mr. Napier of Glasgow, is at present building a steamer, of 800 tons and 420 horse-power, to ply between this port and Dundalk. She is to be called "The Pride of Erin." Her power is greater than that of any other steamer engaged in the Channel trade. —Liverpool Courier. It has been ascertained that all the bills of exchange, railway shares, and other documents, which were stolen from the Royal Bank, Liverpool, in May last, have been re stored to Mr. Hobler. The thieves have kept the money contained in the box which they carried off, but the docu ments have been restored in the same state as when taken. FIRE IN ALDGATE.—Wednrslay, shortly before ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the establishment of Messrs. Davis and Hart, job drapers, hosiers, &c., 19, Somerset-street, Aldgate. The discovery was made by the inmates, who, while about to retire to rest, observed a strong smell of smoke in the lower part of the premises, at the rear of the shop. On further examination it was found that the stock in the back part of the shop was on fire. Without delay informa tion was forwarded to the stations, and a body of the men were soon in attendance. The children of the family had a Narrow escape from suffocation, the dames being fierce, and the smoke from the burning material exceedingly dense. They were, however, s afely removed to a. neighbouring house. The engines having been got to work. the fire was safely extinguished within half an hour. It is not known how the fire was caused ;it is thought, however, that it originated from an escape of gas. The Aldgate escape of the Royal Society fur the Protection of Life from Fire, was with the conductor very speedily on the spot, but happily it was not GRAND BANQUET TO IBRAHIM PACIIA. On Wednesday the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of the East India Company and the Court of Directors entertained his Highness Ibrahim Paeha and a large party at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. The hour appointed was seven o'clock, and shortly after Ibrahim Pacha, attended by his suite, arrived, and was received by Sir James Weir Hogg, the chairman, and Mr. St. George Tucker, the de puty- chairman. The Chairman of the East India Company presided. On his right sat Ibrahim Pacha and the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires, and amongst the other distinguished guests we noticed IM. Nubar, the Earl of Minto, the Earl of Jersey, the Earl of Dalhousie Mr. Baring, Earl Grey, Mr. Astell, Viscount Morpeth, Viscount Jocelyn, Lord R. Grosvenor, the Vice-Chancellor, the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, the Lord Chief Baron, the Right Hon. Sir H. Pottinger, Mr. Muspratt, the Hon. Admiral Mackay, Edib Effendi, M. Zohrab, the De puty-Chairman, the Lord Mayor, the Marquis of Chandos, the Earl Delawarr, the Earl of Ripon, Mr. Wigram, Viscount Mahon, Lord C. Hamilton, Lord Camp- bell, Right Hon. S. Herbert, Right Hon. H. Goulburn, Right Hon. Sir G. Grey, Mr. Mills, Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie, Right Hon. Sir E. Ryan, Sir R. Campbell, Sir R. Inglis, Sir J. L. Lushington, Right Hon. J. W.

The banquet was of the most splendid description, the wines of the finest quality, and the tout ensemble in the very best style of Messrs. Bathe and Breach. A military band was in attendance, and Mr. Toole, as toast-master, displayed his usual ability. On the cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN gave "The health of her Majesty the Queen," with all the honours. The next toast was " The health of the Queen Dowager," which was followed by that of his " Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family." The CNAIRMAN then proposed "The health of Ibrahim Pacha," which was given with all the honours. His IlnatmEss returned thanks through his interpreter, who addressed the meeting in French. He said, that since his arrival in this country he had received nothing but at tention, nothing but honour, from all classes; but the flat tering sentiments expressed by the chairman conferred the highest gratification upon him, and rendered it impossible for him to acknowledge in terms sufficiently grateful the feelings by which he was actuated. The next toast was " The health of Mehemet Ali, Vice roy of Egypt," which was given with all the honours. His HtcaurEss, through his interpreter, again returned thanks, and said, that in every place, in every meeting, which he had visited since his arrival in England, he had heard nothing but praise and the most flattering testimonials bestowed upon his father. On his arrival in Egypt he should riot fail to make him acquainted with all that had been said of him, and on his behalf he returned his warmest thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Navy and Army." the former was responded to by Admiral Mackay, the latter by General Pas ley. The next toast was " The Earl of Ripon," who returned thanks; and on the health of " Her Majesty's Ministers" being given. Lord Minto returned thanks.

BIRMINGHAM, JULY B.—This evening (Wednesday) a meeting ;wit place at the public effice, convened for toe pur pose of presenting an address to Sir Robert Peel, expresAve of the gratitude felt by that part of the inhabitants of Bir mingham who approved of his conduct in general, and more esnecially as related to his last great and grand measure-- the abolition of the corn-laws. At half-past seven a pretty strong muster were assembled, which muster, by the way, would have been corriderably larger had the thing been more generally known. Among those preseitt were William Schofield, Esq. ; Joseph Sturge. Esq.; William Chance, Esq.; Eyre Lee, E.,q. • G. Edmonds, Esq. ; Kelly Douglass, Esq.; Councillors Palmer and Martineau, and many other influential gentlemen. William Schofield, Esq., was called to the chair, arid an excellent address, highly complimentary to the late Minister's political proceedings, was read by Mr. Douglass, the same gentleman who wrote the People's C'iarter some years ago, and who was stated to be the writer of the address in quest ien. Mr. CHANCES spoke in terms of the highest eulogiurn of the measure carried, and observed, that watching narrowly the measures of Parliament, he could fearlessly say that the measures taken within the last five years far exceeded in importance and utility any measures passed within any five years of his business career, and he most warmly praised Sir Robert for his conduct throughout the arduous task he had so daringly undertaken and so gloriously accomplished. Mr. STURGE objected to one passage in the address, namely, that which alluded to our Indian affairs, stating that with that passage in he could not conscientiously sign it. A similar view of it was also taken by Mr. Councillor PALMER, but after a somewhat rather brisk and spirited controversy, in which Mr. Martineau. Mr. Eyre Lee, Mr. Edmonds, Mr. Chance, and Mr. Middlemore were the prin cipal speakers, the address was adopted unanimously. Mr. Chance was then called to the chair, and a vote of thanks, proposed by Mr. Councillor Martineau and seconded by Mr. Middlemore, was then given to Mr. Schofield, who briefly returned thanks. A subscription was entered into to cover the expenses of advertising, Bte., to which several gentlemen largely contri buted. and the meeting then separated. ' The address will be presented for the signing of the inha bitants to-morrow, and from the feeling of admiration exhi bited throughout the town, no doubt it will be very numer ously and influentially signed. NEWSVEN DERS' • BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT INSTITUTION. The annual aquatic festival in aid of the funds of this truly excellent institution, which is supported chiefly by the news trade and the proprietors of the public journals, was cele brated on Wednesday, when a large party of subscribers and their friends embarked in the Laurel steamer, from the Temple-pier, and proceeded to Rose Cottage, Richmond. The company arrived at about one o'clock, and after joining in various rustic sports and other amusements, sat down to a capital dinner. Mr. Merrett was unanimously called on to preside, and on his taking the chair, briefly opened the busi ness of the day by making a few preliminary remarks expla • natory of the nature of the meeting. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been drunk with the greatest enthu siasm, several gentlemen addressed the company, and it ap peared from their speeches that the institution was established in 1839, for the granting of pensior.s and temporary relief to masters and servants engaged in the sale of news papers, who, from age, infirmity, or distress, may rtquire assistance. The committee had stated in their report that, in addition to the liberal donations already received from the proprietors of the London press, many of their more affluent brethren had cheerfully subscribed, and readily afforded the assistance sought for. The steady progress the society had made was a convincing proof of its utility. The funded capital of the institution amounted to nearly 80(1. The Chairman then gave "Prospetity to the Institution," a toast which was received with loud and long-continued ap plau.se. Mr. Wild proposed the healths of the" Patrons and Subscribe , a of the Fund," and Mr. Everett gave the "Ladies," both of which toasts were drunk with the customary honours. The healths of the Chairman, the Committee, and other active officer , of the institution were also proposed, likewise many other toasts, all of which were duly responded to. Thy company, after quitting the dinner-tahle, p:oceeded to amuse themselves after their own tastes. Dancing to the strains of a lively band was kept up with great spirit till the party arrived in town at night, highly delighted with a day well spent. It is understood that another aquatic trip, or seine other social festival, for the benefit of the institution, will take place: ere the summer expires. FRENCH PLAYS.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Leiningen, and attended by the Viscountess Canning, the Hon. Miss Devereux, Lord Ha warden, Colonel Seymour, and Colonel Arbuthnot, honoured Mr. Mitchell's benefit on Wednesday with their presence.

A " field " of pedestrians quickly set foot for reynard, who hurried towards the church and crossed the high road, taking refuge near a stack of bay. ' The field ;,ow op with " hounds," composed of the Newfoundland breed :Jowl . ) to the king's sp:miel. A ring was formed to take reynard vi et armis, but he slyly stole away and tied from his enetnie . to Water-lane, Camberwell. The " game" now was in full view, and the chase ber.ame very animated, tile order of hunting being reversed, by the hun ters miming, first and the peck following at their heels. Revnard skirted the tidds towar Is Dulwich. hut evidently had lost his tra k, amid. ;,f:er a do•igiag chase of abeir two hours, poor reynard submitted to be taken. He is supposed' to have strayed fretn Penge-wooti. SUSPECT:.:I) FROM lil-NORSE OF CONDUCT.— Wedne,dav attero,en Mr. liedf , rd held an inquest at the White Hart, Mi Ali:ink-row, Westminster, respecting the &Atli of Racietel Lewis, aged 29 years. who was f'ut:d in the riNer. The deceased was the wife ;:f a paper maker, but for some time past sl , e had been coliabititz with a young man named Thomas Morriss, a tailor, with whom she was constantly quarrelling and fighting. She called recently at the house of Morriss for money, for which she was given into custody, and taken before a magistrate at Queen. square Police-court, who floed her for causing a disturbance. De ceased had been in a low and desponding state for several weeks, and bad been heard to say she would commit suicide. She called on her sister, in the Vauxhall-bridge road, at a late hour on Tu3sday night, in a disturbed state of mind. Her sister asked her the cause of her excitement, when shim answered in a low tone, " I have more on my ntind than I can divulge," anti added, as she left the house, " God above knows all." About a quarter to four e'clock Yesterday morning her body was found in the water. There was no evidence how the deceased came into the water. The jury, therefore, returned a verdict of" Found drowned." The proprietors of the Colomiial Bank held a meeting yesterday, when a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital was declared. Considering time heavy losses which this company sustained a few years ago, and which until very lately compelled them to abstain from the declaration of a dividend altogether, this result may be consic:ered highly satisfactory. FItANCE.—THE ESCAPE OF PRINCE Louis NA.POLEOW. —The trial of the accomplices of Prince Louis Napoleon, on the occasion of his escape from the citadel of Ham, is fixed for this day, before the Correctional Court of Peronne. DEATH OF AI. HALL'TTE.—A letter from Arras announces the death of M. liallette, head of the firm of that name, and inventor of the atmospheric railway system, which is called after him. He had lately gone to England to superintend the application of his plan, and it is supposed that excess of exertion was the immediate cause of his death. On landing at Boulogne, on his return, he was taken ill, and though transported to his nephew's residence at Hesdim, where every possible attention was paid him, he never rallied, but expired without being conscious of where he had been removed ON ELECTION MOVEMENTS. • WORCESTER. WEDNESDAY MORNING.—The nomination took place this day. Mr. Sheriff Elgie having formally opened the business of the election, and the writ, /co., having been read, The MAYOR came forward, and said that he now appeared before them under very different circumstances ,from those which he had but recently expected. He thee wait on to speak of the regret which the city must feel at the Iheslof so excellent a representative as Sir Thomas Wilde, mixed with pleasure at his merited elevation. After a few more observe• place, tions, the Mayor proceeded to nominate Sir Denis Le Mar inlthheeCOcilltllytyof o f lv Surrey,Worces t er er in to e cahnda n proper ;er person Comm o n to repr e sent Par liament.—(Cheers.) F. E. WILLIAMS, Esq., seconded the nomination, and spoke of the necessity of a commercial city like Worcester securing a man of business capacity for its representative. The question having been thrice put as to whether any other elector had a candidate to propose, and no one appearing, the Sheriff declared Sir Denis to be duly electeds Sir THOMAS WILDE then came forward, and said it was his desire to perform a task which some would deem an easy one, but which to him was far from being such—namely, to thank them for the many acts of kindness they had bestowed on him since he first appeared before them asa candidate, and almost a stranger. He had, however, professed certain prin ciple:4, and they (the constituency) were attached more to principles than to persons. They had been pleased to g ive him credit for honesty and sincerity, and had returned him in a manner which had seldom occurred to an individual so little known to a large constituency like that of the faithful city of Worcester. They had estimated his merits rather by the sincerity of his intentions than by the efficiency of his efforts.—(No, no.) This final farewell could not but be at tended with pain to him. The treatment he had received, not from one party alone, not from gentlemen professing one set of principles, but from all, merited his grateful acknow ledgments. For the zeal and unbounded support which those who coincided with him bad exhibited on his behalf, he begged to return his heartfelt thanks; while to the Con servative party, and those with whom it was not his good fortune to agree on many subjects, he owed large acknewe ledgments for the liberal manner in which the last election had been conducted. He assured them that when he quitted Worcester as a political character he should carry with him a deep sense of gratitude to his friends and of respectful thankfulness towards those gentlemen who had been opposed to him.-s (Cheers.) His regret in leaving the constituency" would, however, have been much greater, considering the circumstances under which it occurred, had it not been for the timely appearance of his Hon. Friend, Sir Denis I. Marchant.—t Cheers.) He claimed no merit to himself for the appearance of that gentleman, for indeed he had hed.oo opportunity of communicating with him on the subject until he Denis) made his personal appearance in Wore cester. He should have rejoiced in being enabled to contrie bate to Sir Denis's success, and lie heartily rej ,, iced that they had accepted of his services. He had known that gentle man for many years, and had seen his manner of dischaegio Fr his public duties; he knew his principles and integrity, 3 1111 mild vouch for him as a man of honour, a faithful pubros servant, and a supporter of those political principles upone which he (Sir Thomas Wilde) had founded his successful claims to the approbation of the electors.—(Cheers.) however short had been their opportunity of forming sla opinion, they would find his recommendation to have be& perfectly correct and just, and that they had secured ate able an efficient representative.—(Cbeers.) They would readily coeceive that in the situation to which her Majesty had called hint (Sir Thomas Wilde) politics would: no more be his study.—(hear, hear.) It was the glory 1 this country that at least the judicial bench was free from the consideration of politics; and he trusted that he should. carry to that bench that singleness of heart and honesty o f purpose which had long formed one (.1 the best securities for the permanent well-being of the country, the lives, eearace ter}, anal liberties of the people, and everything which ga ve a value to s o cial life.—(Cheers.) It would now, thi:retOr e r be improper in hint to comment on various topics to whic h he had intended to refer, and lie concluded by again elr pre-,sing his warm feelings of attachment to the City of Vi rlll , 4 - cester, and his confidence in the successor whom they "ha appointed iu his Mead. A . ~,- Dr. HASTJNI;S rose and said that he would, in the name 0 ';'e the citizens •t W M orcester, call upon Sir Denis Le archool to support those necessary and important measures affecting the sanitory welfare of towns, and the moral and social int' • provement of the p.:ople at large, which weuld be introduced into Perna men t. Sir DENIS Le MARCHANT then came forward, and received with loud cheers. The Honourable Gentlenser i tl after alluding to the great loss the city had sustained the services of Sir Thomas Wilde, by his elevation to t ; . rank of Lord Chief Justice, passed a high eulogium on that gentleman, and said that he (Sir Denis) had not had t h e advantage of being known to them as a neighbour, tette': ventured to hope that his future services for the welP;', of the city would 'gain their good opinion. His princiee's; were those of Sir Thomas Wilde, and he was proud of tkos' principles. He advocated free trade in its widest aneanilse; and lie bad always been a staunch adherent of those whce l o s five years, had been agitating the question. In 1841 he sc . , a candidate far the representation of a borough, and came f o . ward as a strenuous supporter of free trade; but the measl ir s ; was at that time unpopular, and he was unsuccessful. Oqin artic'es besides corn required ,to have the restrictions lished, and he would give his cordial support to any rnessu t `; brought forward for that purpose. Great honour was due_e, the Minister who had succeeded in carrying the Corn InsP1;1 tation Bill, but greater to those who had for years stns fie for the adoption of tree commerce, and who had kept e' es question continually before the public mind. He was grt o , ful to the League, and grateful to Mr. Cobden , fo r his 'ifs wearied exertions in the cause • and he was proud, valet!" the House of Commons, to hear his great merit eulogieed. those who were some years ago his most inveterate oppeeet ie e The struggle was not yet over, and he would at all eSnee exert his humble abilities in promoting the cause, and extending the interests of the peoele• -e z ee Hon. Gentleman said the state of Ireland was ,4Seee present moment exciting the greatest sympathy throVot out the kingdom ; it was his opinion that IrefAtli was entitled to equal rights and equal legislation ourselves. Sir Robert Peel Lad declared that eentilne' c i in the House, and no doubt it was from mature r a t serious consideration. In Ireland, centuries of inisrst: ee n e ti produced their usual miseries, and it was the dutee,'` ) ," e ee lthf be the endeavour, of the present •GovernmeM4 ma estro legislation, to alleviate those miseries; and every esrenu breuht forward fur that urpose would find in him ous su pporter .—( Cheers. ) Another subject—educes sae a source of anxiety in the minds of the pee• ri • e bt ' eese e by meats on that question were the same as those exPi " " oal•l' ea ' his late Majesty George No good could be till every child in his dominions could read the Bib c og (Cheers) In every word Dr. Hastings had said reselesill the social and moral improvement of the people he hie , s ot concurred, and he had reason to believe that the Gov-eras- pd were giving their attention to the subject, and he pige° himself to assist all that he could in so good a work. . Hon. Gentleman then said that the question of railroads eye occupied a great portion of the publi c m i n d in this c' Railroads would ere long become the general highwaY er f commerce, and it would be his endeavour to support los • one brought forward that would tend to the benefit of ye• inliibitants of this city. The Severn Navigation ImP ro p• meat had also been mentioned to him; he was more versant with that question than the other. Some tiMe `Ter when the Bill was before the Hou-e, he had the hcnoll ne e meet a party of eentlemen on the subject, and he 11 0 j rbe his views at chat thus had given satisfaction. It wolou ei ste his study to support every turther impmeement of the r e : o e that might be ironlitated. The Hon. Gentleman, iu _ s e elusion, thanked the citizens for the reception he had S e with, and for the high honour they had conferred u t :.', - 0 5 him, and said that when he hod to surrender up his e,el• into their bande, he hoped that if his exertions for theirel ba fare had not given them entire satisfaction, they wousittei able to give him credit for good intentions, for it weceri be his endeavour to promote, as far;as lay in his power. C 7 e el local object brought before his notice that he thought 1 "41. benefit, not only the city generally, but the citizens lelej vidually. The - Hon. Baronet sat down amidst loud prolonged cheering. st E.
