Groom, the official assignee, announced that the first and final divi dend of 2 . 03. in the po un d wou ld b e p a y a bl e next week. Therfiat is dated as far back as the 19th of November, 1825, consequently the creditors (half of whom are dead), hare been kept out of their money upwards of twenty years. The amount spent in expenses has been enor mous, and yet 20s. in the pound is left for the creditors. Warrants for payment may be obtained at, the official assignees' office on Saturday next and two following Saturdays, at which time all securities exhibited at the proof must be produced. Mr. Groom also stated that executors and a dministrators of deceased creditors would be required to produce the probate of will or letters of administration. The final result of this bankruptcy -must prove what severe sufferers the Messrs. Chambers have been in the matter. LONDON QUARTER SESSIONS. Mr. Chlrles Lamb, a solicitor, said to be residing at 19, Earl-street, Blackfriars, was on Saturday indicted for committing a most unprovoked assault on a young man named Mauley. Mr. Parry attended to prosecute. The defendant pleaded Not Guilty, and conducted his own defence. The prosecutor stated, that having seen Mr. James Resell, the landlord of the Angel Inn, America-square, Minories, four or five times, he was induced to cash him an I. 0. U. for 1401., to pay a brewer's account, on the understanding that it was to be repaid in forty-eight hours, Mr. 'lasell never met th e p ayment, an d he im mediately commenced proceedings against him, when an agreement was made to defray the amount bymonthly pay ments of 5/, The first instalment was duly paid, and on the second becoming due only 3/. was handed in. At the suggestion of his solicitor he went to Mr. Hasell's house on Sunday evening the 21st of June, to inform him that if the remaining 2/. was not paid an execution would follow. A conversation arose, in the course of which several observations were made, pro and con, whereupon he was seized by the arms, and thrust out of the house, and as he was going out he was struck violently on the eye by the defendant, and knocked down. The defendant, after cross•examining the prosecutor, addressed the jury, and said he was led to commit the assault, owing to the prosecutor refusing to be quiet,-and continuing to create a disturbance in the house, to the serious injury of Mrs. Hasell, who was ill at the time. The jury instantly found him Guilty. The RECORDER fined the defendant 51., and ordered him to enter into recognixances to keep the peace for the next twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. Moxhay, of the Hall of Commerce in Thread needle-street, appeared before Aldermen Sir C. Mar shall and Moon, upon the complaint of Mr. Mountague, the surveyor of the north district of the City, for unlaw fully taking down and rebuilding a piece of wall in In ner Cushion -court, Old Broad-street, without giving previous notice to the complainant, whereby he had in curred a forfeiture of thrice the amount of the surveyor's fees, and a fine not exceeding 20L Mr. Montague said he made this complaint, not to recover his fees, which in this case he renounced, but to show that the New Building Act must be attended to, and that the consequence of disregarding it might be the incurring of serious penalties. He should press for the infliction of a fine by way of warning to others. This wall was declared to be dangerous, was shored up, and Mr. Moxhay was required to repair it. It had been re paired, and no notice had been given to him. Now the law required him to sign a certificate that the repairs had been made properly, according to the Act, but how was he to do this when he knew nothing about it till the work was covered in and finished ? By the 13th section, no• tice was to be delivered at his office two days before any wall should be altered. In this case, his fee fur attending to survey, &c., was 3/. 3s. Mr. Moxhay asked him how he could pretend to be ignorant of the matter, when he•had himself caused an official notie) from the Court of Aldermen to be served on him, requiring him to repair the wall within fourteen days? Mr. Montague said he had nothing to do with the notice produc.-d. It emanated not from him, but the office of the City Solicitor. Mr. Moxhay proceeded to interrogate Mr. Montagu with some heat, on this point, as he thbught Mr. Mon , tague was knowingly denying a fact. Mr. Montague explained that he received a letter from Mr. Brown, of Cushion-court, ceiling his attention to the dangerous state of this wall, which was rotten, loose, and bulging. lie went and looked at it, end reported to the official refiTees that he considered it to be highly dan gerous. The referees gave notice to the Court of Alder men, who directed the City Surveyor to immediately, by hoarding in and shoring up, secure the wall, and the City S dicitar was instructed to give notice to the owner to begin to repair the same within fourteen days. He knew, therefore, that the wall required to be repaired, and that so - nebody would have notice to repair, but he did not know when the party would begin the re pair, that Le might attend and see what was beiry done. • be party who repaired, the wall was required to give him two days' n lice before they began, in order that he might be present at the proper time. Mr. Moxhay said he did net consider that the wall eel , nged to hi-n, but it had been decided that it did. It had, to the extent of te.ree yards, been loosened, by driving wedges against it, in the course of some repairs going forward at the premises of Mr. Brown, who male the original complaint of the unsoundness of the wall He maintained' that, in fact, there could be no want o kno ededge that the wall was to be immediately repaired, as Mr. gor;tague himself helped to put the law in mo Sion ; and, secondly, that as the City authorities ordered him to make the repair, it dispensed with the necessity on his part of giving notice of his intention to repair. The one notice must override the other. The magistrates called in the City Solicitor to advise on the question, who was of or inion the builder or owner was not relieved from the obligation to give notice to the district surveyor of the precise day of commencing the repair, and th at t h e penalty had been incurred, but Mr. Moxhay had not omitted to give the notice in de fiance of the law, or to evade any lawful fees, and this should be considered in fixing the amount of the fine. Mr. Alderman Moon and Sir Chapman Marshall con curred in the compliment paid to Mr. Moxhay, and miti gated the fine to 40s. At the same time they compli mented the surveyor on his disinterestedness in renounc ing the treble fee of nine guineas. Mr. Montague surrendered the penalty of 40s. to the poor-box. James Boulter, a young man in a workhouse garb, was charged by Mr. Mortlock, the master of the East Lon don Union workhouse for males, with being a rogue and vagabond, and neglecting to maintain himself. Sir C. MARSHALL asked it the prisoner was not ill, as soon as he saw him put to the bar. Mr. Mor;lock said he was not. He always had the same sallow look. Ile had been in the workhouse twelve years, and wished to be lodged and clothed by the union, with liberty to range the streets all day picking pockets, under the pretext of looking for work. He had dis charged himself twenty•two times this year, and when he was discharged at the weekly hoard, at his own re quest, this week, he was told he would not be re-ad mitted till the:next board day, notwithstandin g which he had returned already, and demanded admission. He, therefore gave him into custody as a rogue and vagabond. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said there was no ground for such a charge. Ile asked Boulter where he had been seeking work?—The prisoner said, faintly, at the docks. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL thought his eyes did not deceive him. The poor fellow was too ill to work in the docks. They would'not employ such a man. Mr. Mortlock said he was not ill. He had been twice committed for misconduct in the workhouse, and muse press for his committal again. Sir CIIAPHAN MARSHALL said, stay : let me see. Young man, are you iil or not ? The poor fellow a'tempted to speak, but sunk in a swoon from exhaustion or illue , s. Sir CHAPALA:sr insistel that he should be immediately re-admitted to the workhouse, and taken proper care of. BOW-STREET. A countryman. named George White, was charged with obstructing the footway in Covent garden Market. A gentleman, who did not give his name, attended to watch the cast, for the primer, as he consPered that he bad been roughly used by the police. F 140 stated that, at half-past one o'clock, he saw the prisoner in an excited state in the market, and he refused to go away; he then took him into custody. He was very abusive to witness. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was sorry for what had occurred. He would have gone away, but the policeman handled him roughly. Mr. JARDINE said he deserved to be roughly handled for his insolence. He ought to have gone away at once, when ordered. He had rendered himself liable to a penalty of 40s. by his misconduct, which, however, he should not inflict, as he said he was sorry. Gentleman—lf you had, I should have paid it. Mr. JARDINE—You have no right to inte r f ere. The gentleman said h e considered gross injustice had been done, and the police were guilty of perjury. Mr. JARDINE—If you interfere again, I shall order you to be put out of the room. Gentleman—l can go out without being put out. Mr. JARDINE (to the prisoner) —I shall order you to be discharged at present ; but I caution you against being found there again. In the middle of Mr. Jardine's address to the prisoner, the gentleman stepped up to the latter and handed him, apparently, a sovereign, as he said, to compensate him for his ill-treatment. Mr. JARDINE—How dare you, Sir, i nterfere when I am addressing a prisoner ? our conduct is most nn- , warrantable. To the usher—Put that person out of the Court. The gentleman said he would save the usher the trouble of using force, and walked out, saying as he went, I shall indict the constables fur perjury. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Messrs. Perry and Lance, who carry on the trade of pawnbrokers in Wardour-street, were summoned before Mr. Hardwick, for having taken more than the legal interest on a pledge. The information was laid by Nl‘Cullem, who brought forward an approver of the name of Johnson, and who stated in evidence that ho pawned a shirt belonging t o Id‘Cullem at the defendant's shop for 45., and after al tliAQ'' AO' :amnia — pledge for one month, he went to eAauk-lited-W was charged one penny interest. d ' " 7 This beiWigtrc against the defendants, , i• WCiallein said WO e Pawnbrokers' Act empowered them to charge 20 p cent. upon all money advanced p d be found to be nine-tenths of a u p p o e n n penny'- 6 1 4 it w s. h t i o . r h a v v 4 th, instead of the sum charged. Now as there was ne.' oin of the realm which repre n sented the tenth of a penny, he had filled in his inform ation as " taking one half of a farthing more than the legal interest." _ Mr. Humphreys, who appeared for the defence, said there was, from the informer's own stateme t, an error in the information, as one-tenth of a peony was the sum stated to be overcharged, and one-eighth was the amount put in the information. M'Cullem, in reply, stated alit the magistrates of Bow-streekhad ruled that half a farthing might be`put in under the circumstances, and also that the Court of Queen's Bench had decided that pawnbrokers were not entitled to take a penny for a month's interest on is. He further said that he acted for the good of the poor, and not for his own interest. Mr. HARDWICK—I dismiss the information. M'Cullem—Will your worship tell me your reasons for dismissing the information? Mr. HARDWICK—I do not think it necessary for me to give my reasons. I state my reasons when I think such a course is requisite, but in this case I do not think it is necessary to give a reason. A second information, on the same grounds, ,was dis • missed without being heard. WORSHIP-STREET. George Bilbrough, a middle-aged and well-dressed man, was charged by Mr. Edward Green, a coal-mer chant in the City-road, under the following circum stances :—lt appeared that the defendant had been in Mr. Green's employment for the last twelve months at a salary of 30s. a week, during which time he had col lected various sums of money for his employer, which it was his duty to pay over daily. About a week since, Mr. Green discharged him, and upon looking over his books, and making inquiries, ho discovered defalcations to the amount of 3001., which the prisoner had received from customers without rendering any account whatever. The prisoner having admitted his guilt to a policeman, and three cases having been clearly proved against him, he was remanded for a week, in order that further proofs might be brought forward. SOUTHWARK. Albert Carl, a gentleman, native of Prussia, was charged with having attempted to jump overboard, on his passage from Hamburgh. Captain iStrannack, of the John Bull steam-vessel, stated that the young man, on the voyage, showed symp toms of insanity by deliberately proceeding to undress, and would have thrown himself overboard into the sea, if he had not been prevented in time, by his orders. On the vessel arriving in the river Thames he again made the attempt, and was a second time prevented. The young man was a perfect stranger to him, and he only knew him by his passport. The Prussian Consul, to whom he had applied, had told him he must dispose of him as well as he could, having brought him out. He now solicited the magistrate's advice. The Magistrate said he could afford him no help, the person having committed no offence. As the young man laboured under mental derangement, and was a foreigner, the captain was bound to take him back to Hamburgh, unless the Prussian Consul undertook the task. As a Magistrate he could not send him to any poor-house, as he could claim no parish in this country. If the captain had permitted the young man to land at the Tower with the other passengers, he would not have been troubled with the case; and if the captain now allowed him to go at large, with a knowledge of his insanity, the respon sibility upon him would be heavy for any act the person might commit. - Captain Strannack said that in Hamburgh a foreigner, under such circumstances, would be differeitly treated. The States would order him into an asylum till he should be ready to be returned to his native country. He com plained of the great hardship he was placed under. The Magistrate , expressed his regret, and Captain Strannack then left the court, accompanied by the alleged insane person, who showed no symptoms of a distem pered mind. S W-4NDSWORTH. Mr. James Chapman Butcher, of the High-street, Wandsworth, pawnbroker, attended, upon an adjourned summons, charging him, under the. Police Act, with exposing goods for sale on the foot-pavement in front of bis shop, and thus creating an obstruction. The summons was taken out by Mr. Robert Newans, living next door to the defendant. Mr. Clarke appeared for the complainant, and said his client's business, as baker and confectioner, had much deteriorated, in consequence of the defendant's placing furniture, hardware, and other articles on the pavement to the depth of six or seven feet, the consequence of which was, his shop was shut out from view, and many ladies would not inconvenience themselves by pushing past a lot of furniture to get to the shop. Mr. Newt ns had complained to the defendant in a friendly way, but the nuisance, instead of being dimini,hed, was increased. Mr. Butcher objected to the form of the summons, but this was overrnled. He then contended that the ground on which the goods were placed was his own private property, and therefore he had a right to 02- CUpy Mr. CLIVE said a portion of the pavement might be the defendant's property, and might have been enclosed formerly, but it was now open, and there was no doubt that the public had a right of way over the whole of ir. Therefore, by exposing these goods for sale, he had com mitted an obstruction, for which he would pay 40s. and costs, or go to prison for a month. The defendant at first 'said he would go topris , n, but he afterward s p a id the money, at the same time de claring it was the vilest cowpiracy ever concocted. Mr. CLIVE recommended the defendants not to use such harsh words in the at4 , .ence of all proof. MYSTERIOUS MURDER' OF A POLICE-CONSTABLE IN ESSEX. A. most myLterious murder, attended with circum ances of grelt brutality, was committed Within the ast few days, in a firm near Dagenham, in Essex. A young man, named George Clarke, of the IC division of the metropolitan police, No. 113, who had been lately Irafted from Mile•end to Dagenham, went out to his beat at three o'clock or. Tuesday morning. Not return ing rt the usual time, cansiderable alarm was occasioned, which increased with every hour of his absence. At length, about half-past eight o'clock, on Friday even. ing, the body of the deceased was found in a corn field belonging to Mr. Co at East Brook-end, Dagenham, in a state of decomposition. About twelve yards from the corps, his truncheon was discovered concealed in a hedge, and his cutlass, which was all smeared with blood, and which doubtless was used in dispatching him, was found about six yards distant. The motive of the murder is at present hidden in the deepest mystery. Had he fallen in with midnight marauders, they would doubtless have added robbery to murder, but such was not the case, for his watch was found safe in his fob, and there was 14s. ld. untouched in his purse ; his hat is the only article missing.. The corn for several yards round the body was all trampled down, showing that a dreadful struggle had taken place. The corpse was removed to an empty house, where it was examined by the medical gentleman who attends Mrs. Collins's family, and who found it dreadfully mangled. There were no less than seven wounds, five of which were so serious that any one of them Must have proved fatal. In addition to this he must have received a heavy blow from some blunt instrument, as his left eye was nearly forced out of the socket. Every effort is being made to ;et some clue to the murderers. The deceased, who was a fine younc , man, twenty-one years of age,• was a native of Bedfordshire, and had not been above eight or ten months in the force. THE INQUEST. On Saturday afternoon Mr. C. C. Lewis, one of the Coroners for the county of Essex, and a respectable jury, assembled at the village of Dagenham, for the pur nose of inquiring into the circumstanc e s attending the death of the unfortunate man, of whose brutal murder the subjoined evidence leaves no clout. On the jury being duly empannellerl, they proceeded to view the re mains of the deceased. They laid in an uninhabited houie about a quarter of a mile distant from where the jury met. The body was in a high state of decomposi tion, and the frightful mutilation of the head showed the brutal violence that had been used. This painful cere mony being gone through, the following witnesses were called , mas Kimpton, police constable K 350, said the de ceased belonged to the same division as himself, and was about 20 years of age; he was stationed at Dagenham. On Monday evening, at nine o'clock I fast saw him alive, when we left the station to go on duty; the deceased proceeded on his beat towards Romford, and that was the last I saw of him. Between two and three o'clock on the following (Tuesday) morning it was his duty to have met me at the cross-roads to take on reports to a village called Chadwell, on the road to Ilford. On my arrival at the cross - roa d s I was surprised at not finding him,and I c a ll e d hi s name and hallooed, but it was of no avail, he was nowhere to be found. On going off duty, I necessarily reported the circumstance, and the absence of the deceased. The neighbouring ponds then, on the same day—an impression being entertained that he might have accidentally fallen in, were dragged—with no better success; the search was continued until between seven and eight o'clock on Friday evening, when, on going through a corn-field belonging to Mr. Collier, near Dagenham, I discovered a staff (the one produced). Meeting with such a discovery, we renewed the search in the same track, and at abut half-way up the field bank a short distance from where the staff laid, saw the deceased's cutlass sticking in the hedge, covered with blood from the hilt to the point. (The weapon was pro duced a n d f u ll y corroborated the evidence of the:witness.) Six yards from the cutlass the body of the deceased was discovered lying in the corn, and near the verge of the field, rot more than three yards from the ditch.

He was carrying a sack, and I asked him what it contained. He replied, "It was no business of mine. I proceed to take hold of him to inspect the sack, when he dropped it, disentangled himself from me and ran away, at the same time remarking, "That he would do for me some day." As to finding the body, he de posed to the same facts as the first witness. William Parsons, police-sergeent, K division, stated that he placed deceased on duty last Monday, and met him, on going his rounds at one o'clock on the following morning, at the cross-roads. At that period he seemed perfectly collected, and to his questions gave satifactory an3wers. At three o'clock he again went to the cross roads, but could not see the deceased. On the body being found, he discovered a rattle in the deceased's coat pocket. There was a large wound on the back of the head, a cut on the right of the head, and a stab on the right shoulder. Did not examine the stock then minutely. He had since more carefully inspected it, and had traced two corresponding cuts with those in the throat. In two places the stock was severed. The de mised appeared to have been dead some time. To ap pearance he had had a severe scuffle. Near where the d. 0 , 4 0 0 9 THE SUN, LONDON, _MONDAY_ EVENING, JULY 6, 1846. RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

The two long anticipated causes for trial respecting the Blackfriars and Paul's Wharf Piers, stood for trial on Thursday last, in the special jury paper of the Queen's Bench. Upon the application of the Solicitor-General, who led for the City, Saturday was specially appointed, on account of the number of public officers and eminent professional men who were engaged as witnesses on either side. At the opening of the Court, there were presen t great numbers of persons, wbo appeared to take a livel y interest in the result. The jury, who had previonsl y taken a view of the locus in quo, were sworn, and 0 le judge (Lord Denman), and every other person in Cou'et, seemed to have made up their minds ft,r a long trial, when a pause took place, and the Attorney-General and the other Counsel against the City were observed in close confabulation for a few minutes. At length the Attorney-General, addressing the Court, stated he had taken upon himself, in the exercise of his discretion as counsel for the prosecutors, the responsibility of recommending them not to offer any • evidence in support of the prosecution ; the consequent, of which would be, that a verdict of Not Guilty wouli would be entered up for the Lord Mayor, commonalt3 , and citizens of London, the defendants on the recori The Solicitor-General stated that he had the honour I x . represent the Corporation of London, who, in the tour le they had pursued, had acted only in discharge of the Jr duty as conservators of the river, desirous to afford tl ie public all the facilities in their power for the enjoymeJ .st of steam navigation in the river ; and, he must say, 110 thought the Attorney -General had exercised a very - sound discretion in the course he had pursued ; wh*re upon the judge smiled and the jury smiled ; the public looked astonished. A verdict of Not Guilty was dully * recorded ; and thus ended the steam-boat war, which at one time appeared likely to be attended with very serious results. After the trial, we made it our business to inquire amongst persons supposed to be behind the scenes, and to know the springs and wires of City politics, as to the mode in which this casur be& had really been dis posed of, and as to the mode by which the indictment against the proprietors of Paul's Wharf Pier had dis appeared from the cause list. We learned, upon what we considered good authority, that the defendants in the l atter,indictment have pleaded guilty, and undertaken to remove the floating pier, which, it is rumoured, is found to be an unprofitable speculation, being so close to the preferable piers of Blackfriars and Old Swan Piers. The Waterman's Company, whose boats had been ex cluded from the use of Blackfriars Pier for some weeks, on account of their non-conformity with the regulations of the Corporation, have been re-admitted, upon their signing an agreement to observe these regulations in future : and it is generally supposed, if the derendants, who have been convicted in respect of Paul's Wharf Pier, remove all cause of offence, that they wilLnot be called up for judgment. Amongst the members of the Corporation there was a very current report that if the cause of the Blackfriars Pier had been decided against the City, the Lord Mayor would, as conservator of the river Thames, have em ployed a vast number of men to cut away, not only every pier from Yantlet Creek to Staines, but actually every mooring in the middle of the river in his jurisdic tion, so that the public might whistle for river accom modation after Monday. Mr. Collins, surgeon, of Romford, said—l was called between eight and nine o'clock in the evening •in question to the deceased. Found his body lying in the field he was discovered in. I examined his head, and saw a large opening in the skull of six or eight inches, entirely dividing the scalp. On the side of the head I found an extensive wound, and I believe those injuries quite sufficient to have caused death. The truncheon produced might have caused such a wound. The de ceased could not have inflicted them himself. The wounds in his throat extended from the thorax to the spine of the back, and there was a wound under the right ear. Those in the throat must have been done by a sharp instrument. The forefinger of the left hand was cut through at the joint. The divided portion of the scalp was lying close to the body. Examined the ground and found pieces of the skull pressed down in the earth. Sergeant Parson here stated that on searching the body, he found in the pockets 14s. 6d. in silver, and a silver watch, which had stopped at three o'clock. The Coroner here remarked that there could be no doubt that the deceased had been brutally murdered, and therefore he should adjourn the inquiry tbr the collection of further evidence. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned. Nothing can exceed the sensation in the villages ad joining the scene of the murder. It was intimated that Government issued directions for a reward of 2001. being offered for the apprehension of the murderer or murderers. ROCHDALE. THE PASSING OP TIM CORN BlLL.—Every prepara tion was made by the Free Traders of Rochdale to tes tify their joy at the passing of the Corn Bill. On Fri day last, a messenger was sent to Manchester for the purpose of bringing the glad news as soon as it should arrive in that place, by the first train that left for Roch dale. It was well known that the Vicar, who came to his present living fresh from the Queen abusing Brad shaw dinner, would he opposed to the ringing of the bells at the parish church. At two o'clock on Friday afternoon, the churchwardens had a meeting in the vestry, which gave them full possession of the church. On the outside were the ringers, ready for action as soon as the signal should be given from within. By the two o'clock train, the nvssenger arrived with the newspaper, and intimated the news to the wardens, who threw open the doors for the ringers. Wardens, ringers, and a few dauntless friends, who were there in case of need, proceeded to the belfry, and when there, not only locked the door after them, but barricaded it with a large piece of wood, to prevent any one from without entering. This being done, the bells str uc k up a merry pe.sl of rejoicing that the starvation laws were repealed. Ere long, the very thing happened that was expected. The Vicar is heard thumping at the door for admittance; he begs, he prays, he threatens and entreats, but all to no purpose, a deaf ear is turned to both prayer and threats —" the bells go merry as a marriage peal." Finding this unavailing, he departs, but soon returns again, accompanied by his own warden, the clerk, and the grave digger, "grinning horribly a ghastly smile." This time the party had a crow bar with them, which was used in breaking open the door. Seeing the door give way under this mechanical power, Mr. George Prockter, one of the wardens, opened it, and let the party in. The Vicar advanced to the middle of the room, ordered the ringers to cease ringing, and leave the steeple. Then he desired the clerk to take down the names of those he knew. Mr. Prockter entreated the Vicar to subdue his passion, as he had given orders for the ringing of the bells, and would take all responsibility upon himself. He feared no citation to the Ecclesiastical Court on that score, as the bells were under the control of the wardens, and not the vicar. Upon this the Doctor threatened what he would do if they did not cease ringing and leave the place. Mr. Thomas Livesay, one of the outgoing wardens, who was present, said, if he was warden the bells should be rung in spite of anybody; the Doctor had only power of the pulpit, not the belfry. Upon this the clerk took Livesey by the collar, and the latter seized his assailant in his iron grasp, by the breast, saying, " but for the place in which they were, he would mash his frontispiece." The vicar interfered, and deprecated the conduct of his clerk for resorting to physical force. Mr. Prockter then ap pealed to the Vicar on the propriety of ringing the bells on this occasion. He said it was not a party, but a great public question ; the Commons of Engla n d sanc tioned it, the peers ha passed it, and the Queen had given her gracious consent to it. Even the bench of Bishops had supported that measure in their place in Par liament, and he wished to call his attention to the speech delivered by Dr. Wilberforce, Bishop of Oxford, on this subject. It was worthy of perusal, as the Learned Pre late was a centary in advance of his cloth. Every night when he (the speaker), fell upon his knees he had been taught to say—" Give us this day our daily bread ;" and he had frequently heard him (the vicar) make use of the iame form of prayer in the pulpit. Now that prayer had been answered, the law that prohibited the poor man going down to Egypt in a time of scarcity for corn, had baen repealed • and he had ordered the bells to rin g i n celebration of the triumph of freedom over tyranny, for freedom is the original gift of God, and tyranny is the inno vation.—On Monday evening, the friends of free trade held a meeting, which was called by circular, at Mr. Twee dale's hotel, to take into consideration the best means of celebrating the triumph of free trade. Resolutions were passed that Wednesday, the Bth of July, 'should be kept as a holiday, • and that there should be a pro aessien on the occassion, commencing at Cronkey Shaw, near Mr. Bright's factories. It was also recom mended that the factory masters and others should regale their workpeople with a dinner on that day, after the procession. A resolution was passed, that an Address, approving of Sir Robert Peel's free-trade policy, should be got up and presented to him. This resolution lid not pass without opposition from a part of the meet ing, on the ground that Sir Robert did not see the ne iessity of free-trade till its advantages were pointed out by others. When the news arrived in Rochdale, flags with free-trade mottoes were exhibited upon the tops of many of the factories and mills, and the great mass of the people appeared highly pleased with the passing of he Bill.—Leeds Mercury. SOUTH AUSTRALIA, ITS MINING INTERESTS, &c. Our attention has been called during the past week to , his thriving settlement, by the delivery at Crosby Hall , f the first of a series of three lectures en its past and °resent condition, by James Allen, Esq., for several years the editor a n d propr i etor o f the South Australian Register, the leading Adelaide newspaper. Mr. Allen's fitness for the task of lecturing on this subject is as ;mat as it is undeniable. To considerable talents as a public speaker he subjoins an intimate acquaintance Nith all the local interests of the colony, and has been - - or years an attentive observer of all that has been Sassing around him in the whole of our southern de )endenciep. He has, too, the confidence of those whose , nterests he represents, although, as we have reason to know, his advocacy is an unpaid and a disinterested one. 3ut our object is not so much to call attention to Mr. Allen's lectures as to introduce a few facts connected vith the milting interests and general statistics of the edony, which have lately been brought under our iotice. In this, the youngest of our Australian 3olonies, there are at this moment, it seems, six copper and three lead mines, in full work, and that others are about to be opened, For the purchase of public lands, in which these mines are situated, there has been paid into the hands of the Commissioners and into the Colonial Treasury, during the past year, a sum of not less than 75,0001., and a great part of this is now being expended ' ,a sending out miners, and other free emigrants, to the colony. It s export of copper ore to this country, during that period, under all the disadvantages attendant upon he first opening of mines, has amounted to nearly 50,0001., and its export of lead has been considerable. The value of this ore, as appears from the r e t urns o f t h e Tr ! j e t gales s a h t Swansea, orF ore Foreign n ismuch greater than th a t o f any other mines, if we except Chili, and hence 'he ore is sent home, for the most part, not in its raw, gut in a calcined state. The returns of the South Australian ores have been from 13Z Ils. 2d. to 24/. 153.3 d. per ton. Of course, the opening of these mines have been, and must be, a great, source of wealth to the colony, and are now attracting a large amount of capital towards it. At the end of 1845 the population of this colony was 22,000 souls, and of these about 9,000 resided in Adelaide, the capital of the province, the rest being engaged in mining and agricultural pursuits. Adelaide is a large and well-built town, and is daily in creasing in its size and comfort. The port is a free port to ships of all nations, the Colonial Legislature having lately abolished all I-arbour and pilotage dues ; and the / Colonial Government being now dependent for its sup ',port upon the customs duties, is hich are found to be ' - ample. The imports of the colony for 1845 were 156,2401., and its experts 134,1241. Its exports of wool !.,.lone amounted to 1,231,9201 b., valued at 56,463/. Of f sheep it has at present between 700,000 and 800.000 ; of i :horned cattle between 30,000 and 40,000 ; and of horses about 1,500. A large export in grain is carried in to the . other colonies, and some of it h as b een b roug h t h ome , t Ind has f e tch e d the highest prices in Mark-lane. Alto ! _Tether, the colony is in a most thriving condition, and is 1 ikely to continue so, if the mines hold as well as they at - Present afford promise. Mr. Allen, we hear, is about to deliver a separate lecture en the mines of South Aus tralia shortly somewhere in the City. 114' 164 27% Price, AN ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN FRIENDLY COMMUNI CATION WITH TIIUNDER-STORMS.--A very extraordinary phenomenon was observed on the electric telegraph between New York and Baltimore, on Thursday afternoon, the like of which was neve r b e f ore known to man. Three thunder storms, each some thirty or sixty miles froni the other, were all coming east on the telegraph route about the same time, and every discharge of electricity from either was duly re i orded, by lighting itself, in the telegraph office, at Jersey c ity, Philadelphia, Wil m i ng t on , or Baltimore. The wires a ?together became unmanageable, and the operators being bliged to withdraw the batteries used for writing, the risitor from the clouds had the field to itself. The letters of Morse's telegraphic alphabet which this natural lightning seemed to be most partial to, were L and T, but occasionally it went at the numerals, and dashed off Ps, 50's, 55's, 500's, and 5,000's in its own rapid style. We learn, that when two or more thunder clouds get in the same vicinity, and dis charge their electricity at each other, or receive the fluid from the earth and return it again, or when ground light ning prevails, the effects on the telegraphic wires is to pro duce a strange and original language, which may yet be made intelligible. In fact, each kind of lightning speaks for itself, and writes what it says.—New York Sun. THE LORD MAYOR AND THE SPECTACLE MAKERS' CoatraNY.--The Lord Mayor has fallen into awful disgrace with the Spectacle Makers' Company, of which he is a mem lazr, in consequence of his Lordship's non-appearance at their ( dinner at Bl ac k well on Friday_ last. It appeared that his Lordship h a d some time ago enaged to dine with his Com pany on th at day, but that the A sso ciation of Licensed Victuallers' Scho o l h av i ng waited upon him with a powerful tppeal in fa vour of their charity, urged by M r. David Wil- I lams Wi re and other eloquent friends, he consented to violate e tiquette in f avour of so unanswerable a claim, and took the c hair of th e Li censed Victuallers' Association at White Con d nit House on the day of their annual festival. The apology v 'hich his Lordship sent to the Spectacle Makers' Company as -as treated with contempt by the great body of the Com p any assembled at dinner; and Sir George Carroll and Mr C larkson the barrister made ineffectual attempts to reconcile ti ae malcontents to his Lordship's absence, in consideration o f the occasion on which the chief magistrate had made his e' !ection against the invitation, which was merely one of o rtentation and conviviality, and in favour of one which ir 7 tst inevitably t end to render service to a great charity, al to l as surely draw money from his purse. It was in vain ex- a t y effort w as made by several other gentlemen to make all op -mice for the motive Which the Lord Mayor had shown for RI ving the preference; the moment his name was men tio net I the r oom echoed with groans and hisses, and the in dig nal ion of the com pany vented itself in a variety of ways i n the course of th e evening interfering most seriously with the col iviviality of th e party.

" Mr. Richard Cobden, M.P., the able and untiring advocate of commercial freedom, and may he live to receive from a grateful nation those honours to which the late admirable tribute of praise . from the lips of the Prime Minister declared him to be justly entitled." " Free trade, and may the principle be fully carried out by the new Ministry, with the same praiseworthy firmness as that which characterised the conduct of Sir Robert Peel." The toast " The Members for the Borough" was ex cluded from the list. WILLS.

We have reason to know that the merchants of St. Petersburgh have thought for some time that the exam ple of England would be followed soon ; but they did not expect the movement to occur at so early a date. We have only to repeat the language which we used in March, in substance, namely, although the intelligence we afford from St. Petersburgh proves the correctness of Sir Robert Peel's declaration, that he had no doubt the liberal example set by England would be gradually fol lowed by foreign powers, yet we question whether the Premier himself, at the time he developed his commer cial policy, anticipated that there would be, at so early a period as the present season, an announcement pro nouncing a reciprocal sentiment on the part of Russia. Ma. F. BARING, M.P.—lt will be snort in the new Ministerial arrangements that our Member, Mr. Baring, does not take office; he has declined doing so mainly in con sideration of the declining health of his revered father, Sir Thomas Baring, and also of Lady Baring, and his conse quent wish to spend much of his time at Stratton. We can state, however, the actual fact that he does not abandon any part of his political creed, but will most cordially support the new Government, and expresses in a letter to a friend the highest opinion of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, in whose abilities be has great confidence. Mr. Baring sits behind his leader, Lord John Russell, instead of, as before, sitting by the side of him. Mr. Baring's desire for of f ice has been much abated by the successful march of the Anti- Corn law Bill, for aid in the carrying out of which was his only aim when he took office for 24 hours in November last.— Hampshire Telegraph. . _ _ Dispatches were received on Saturday at the Colonial office, from the Governor of Cape Coat Castle. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY NIGHT.—Last night a public dinner, in commemoration of the repeal of the corn-laws and the modification of the tariff, was held at the Bell Inn, in this town. Mr. William Scholefield, late candidate for the borough, presided, and Mr. Joseph Holt officiated as vice-chairman. Amongst the company present were Mr. Goddard, Mr. Blythe, Mr. George Edmonds, Mr. Jenkins, and other known advocates of free trade. The room, as usual upon such occasions, was tastefully deco rated with appropriate emblems ; but as the party con sisted of what may be termed a mere section of the free traders of the town, the attendance was not so nu merous as might have been expected had it been under stood to be a general assemblage of burgesses favourable to the late Government measures. The usual toasts " The Queen," "Prince Albert and the Royal Family," having beon drunk with great enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose "Sir R. Peel, and he Members of the House of Commons who have aided him in carrying his free trade measure."—(Loud cheers.) He (the chairman) was happy to say that the princi ples of free trade had been carried beyond the reach of injury—beyond revocation, They had laboured for this under adverse as well as favourable circumstances. They had laboured for it sincerely and earnestly, and shame upon them if they were not prepared to triumph as loudly and sincerely.—(Cheers.) They had, how ever, further difficulties in the way of free trade to encounter. Sir Robert Peel had carried the vessel over the bar, but the ship's course was still beset with rocks and shoals. He should not pursue that point further, but would call their attention to the distinguished individual to whom the toast referred. In doing so, they ought to divest their minds of all differ ences which might exist between them on other points. Let them, for a moment, consid e r Si r R o b er t P ee l only in the able, unflinching advocate of the most momentous measure which ever emanated from any Government. In that respect he was entitled to their warmest grati tude, and in their name he thanked the Right Hon. Gentleman for the distinguished services he had ren dered to his country.—(Cheers.) He must, however, guard himself against a blind and boundless confidence in Sir Robert Peel as a statesman. He was a clever Minister, but not a statesman. He believed him to be as honest as he was courageous.—(Cheers.) He was a man for the day, but not for all time, After some fur ther observations, the Chairman concluded by proposing the toast already given. It was received with loud ac clamations. ' GEOLOGICAL SURVEY of CANADA (From the Montreal Courier.) Subjoined we give Mr. Logan's narrative of the ope rations in Gaspe and the neighbourhood. The whole report is too lengthy for us to republish, and we must content ourselves with giving the results arrived at. After a patient and thorough examination of the strata of this district, the provincial geologist found no beds of coal, although a seam of half an inch thickness was dis covered. It is the opinion of Mr. Logan that the narrow margin of the north shore of the Bay of Chaleurs is the limit in that direction of the great eastern coal field of North America. Bituminous shales, some of which yield a bright flame on being burned are abundant, and these have led to the erroneous belief that coal was in the vicinity. Bitumi nous limestones were also found. Blood red and .other coloured jaspers in masses of some pounds weight were found in considerable quanti ties, and also a variety of beautiful agates. Two petroleum or naphtha springs were exa mined ; one is situated on the south side of the St. John's River, one mile and a half above Douglass Town, and issues through a sub-stratum of clay, and a super stratum of vegetable remains, and becomes apparent among the mud and shingle of the beach, and appears to be connected with a bituminous deposit of a solid nature found in small nodules embedded in the rock, at the distance of 20 miles. Pits being dug in the beach, the naphtha collects upon the surface of the water. The quantity, however, is not considerable, from 12 pits only half a pint was obtained with difficulty, in four hours. It is not said whether any means might not be taken, such as the sinking of the pits to a greater depth, to increase the product to such a degree as to make it of commercial advantage. The second spring is situated about 200 yards up a small fork of the Silver Brook, a tributary of the South West Arm falling into it six or seven miles above Gaspe Basin. Two sulphur springs of the same charac ter as those which exist in many parts of the province were also noticed. Many fossils were discovered, and among them, one supposed to be new, of th e or d er B rontes , to which it is proposed to apply the term Canadensis. Two veins of galena were discovered ; the one is situated in Little Gaspe Cove, and measures in the thick est part one inch width, but gradually terminates both ways in a few yards, from a fault; the other is in the Indian Cove, close to the fishing stage of Messrs. Pierre and Antoine Simon, consisting of a lode 12 yards wide, in which the principal vein measures two inches in width. Upon assay the galena crystals were found to consist of more antimony than lead, existing in combina tion with sulphur. It is not probable that either of these veins are worth the working. Argillaceous iron ore distributed through a rock of very hard structure exists in a greater or less degree, over the whole district, but in no locality was it found in sufficiently large quantities for mining purposes. Upon assay the ore yielded 26 per cent. of pure iron. There was also found, upon lot 37, in New Carlisle, belonging to a Mr. Thompson, a small vein of micaceous iron ore, coming up to the surface, so that the plough turned up lumps of it. The extent of capability of this vein was not investigated. This is the sum of the discoveries made, and it must be admitted that they are of a negative character. The question of the immense mineral resources of Gaspe is, however, set at rest for ever, by the establishment of the fact that such do not exist; and the Legislature will he saved the trouble of incorporating any more mining com panies in that direction. We trust that Mr. Logan's next tour will be through the copper region of Lake Superior; his observations on that locality will be of great service to the country. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE. We aro requested to insert the following as a correct transcript of the inscription about to be cut in a panel in the merchants' area of the New Royal Exchange, that which was given a few days ago being incorrect in some particulars : On this Site Sir Thomas Gresham, Knt., • Citizen and Mercer of London, Erected the first Building, for the general Meeting of Merchants, which was named by Queen Elizabeth, On the 23d of January, in the 14th Year of Her Reign, A.D. MDLXXI., The Royal Exchange. It was destroyed, in the Great Fire of London, On the 14th of September, 1666: Rebuilt And opened on the 28th of September, 1669, in the 21st Tear of the Reign of King Charles IL: Again destroyed by fire on the 10111 of January, 1838; and On the 17th of January, 1842, The First Stone of this Building was laid by Her Majesty's Consort, His Royal Highness Prince Albert, and The Present Edifice was opened by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, who was graciously pleased to proclaim it The Royal Exchange, Go the xxvintb day of October, in the vutth Your of ric.r Reign, A.D. MDCCCXLIV. Williatii Tite, F.R.S, Architect. DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, JULY 2.—The New Rotterdam Courant publishes, in its number of this day, a letter addressed to Mr. Turings, Consul of Great Britain, Rotterdam. This letter was written in consequence of a statement in the French journal La Presse, that the eldest son of Sir Robert Peel, First Secretary of the British Legation in Switzerland, had been lately arrested and cast into prison in London, for the non-payment of bills of Ex change, given for debts incurred at the gaming table. Mr. Turing, in refutation of so odious an imputation, states that he has a letter from Mr. Peel, dated Reine, 20th June last. Mr. Peel, far from being in prison at London for bills, was in the exercise of his functions as Secretary to the Legation formed a th t a ß t e i i t ne is . i intended to extend We have been n the Dutch Railway, by making a branch to the port of Schiedan, though we have reason to believe that this report needs confirmation. We shall await the confirma tion of it, only observing at present the importance which will accrue to the merchants of Amsterdam, especially those who are in the trade with England. With respect to the commercial trade with Belgium, we learn that the principal points have been agreed upon for some time, the extensive and laborious work of drawing up the treaty has been pursued with all dili gence, and there is every reason to hope that no diffi culties will intervene. But even should nothing occur to impede the course of the negotiations, it is possible that weeks or even months may pass before the treaty can be carried into execution. His Majesty the King, their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Orange, a n d P r i nce Alexander,- his Serene Highness the Duke of Nassau, and the Minister of Marine have returned to the Hague from Flushing, where they went to witness the departure of the squadron com manded by his Rot al Highness Prince Henry. The squadron consisted of the frigates Prince of Orange, Jacon, and Sambre ; the Nehalennia, the Juno corvettes; the Echo.brig, and the Adder schooner. ST PETEasßunotr, JUNE 22.—News has been re ceived to-day from the interior, of a tremendous hurri cane along the banks of the Wolga., which destroyed between 100,000 and 150,000 chetwerts of flour, rye, &c. which were destined for this place. The loss is very great. 1 SWANSEA.--COPPER ORE FROM AUSTRALIA.--The staple trade of our town is now certain of receiving large ad ditions of the raw material from the antipodes. Ti; first cargo direct arrived on Saturday, in the brig Amelia, of Kirkcaldv, Reid, master, having made her passage in 150 days, calling at the Cape, &c. She has 200 tons of ore from the Burra Burra mines, and 50 tons of bark, likewise an Emeu, the ostrich of the country. Parcels of copper ore have been sent as dead weight in the wool ships trading to London and Liverpool, for nearly three years past. The ores are very rich, some of them essaying as high as 40 per cent. of pure copper.—Carabriart. ST. ASAPH AND BANGOR AND MANCHESTER• DlO cEsEs.—The followingis an outline of the Bill intituled " An Act to enable her Majesty to make certain provisions for pre venting the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and for the appointment of a Bishop of Manchester" (just intro duced into the House of Lords by the Earl of Powis):— " Whereas an Act of Parliament was passed in the seventh year of the reign of his late Majesty King William the IV., intituled 4 An Act for carrying into effect the reports of the commissioners appointed to consider the state of the Esta blished Church in England and Wales, with reference to the ecclesiastical duties, revenues, and patronage.' And whereas after the passing of the said Act, and under and by virtue of the provisions thereof, a c,ertain order was made by the Queen's most Excellent Majosty in council, bearing date on or about the twelfth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty eight, for the purpose (amongst other things) of uniting the sees'of St. Asaph and Bangor, and con stituting the same one diocese. And whereas it is expedient to enable her Majesty, if she shall see fit, to revoke and annul so much of the said order as relates to the union of the said. sees, and to make and substi tute other orders instead_ thereof, and further to act in the manner hereinafter mentioned. Be it therefore enacted," &c. Clause 1 enacts that her Majesty may revoke Order in Council as to the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, and revocation shall be published and registered. Clause 2 provides that in case of such revocation, her Majesty may nominate to the Bishoprics when vacant. Clause 3 enacts that Ecclesiastical Commissioners may propose other plans relating to the said dioceses, or that of Manchester, and her Majesty may make Orders in Council thereupon. The fourth (and last) clause prop:3es that no Act or Order in Council shall be affected, except, as to the purposes in the said Act mentioned. _ [ADVERTISEMENT.] -- IDICAL TESTIMONIALS.
