The complacency with which he looked upon the present Government was suffici ently encouraging, and the acceptation of office under Lord JOHN RUSSELL by a distinguished mem ber of the League was adduced as a reasonable gua rantee that the cause had not fallen into incompetent, or indifferent, or insincere bands since the secession of Sir ROBERT PEEL from power.

ASILEY'* ROYAL A.MPHITIIEATRE. Proprietor, Mr. W. Batty. Patronised by her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and !lie Peaces Royal. The Public are respectfully apprised, that the present Week will ter millets the succes , ful career of the Grand Military Spectacle of our Indian Victories. Twenty-five refugees having availed themselves of the amnesty, have returned to Sinigaglia from Corfu. They were welcomed in the warmest manner by the populace, and they immediately waited on Count ALISTAT, the brother of the POPE, and requested him to express to his Holiness their gratitude. The KING of the FRENCH has written an autograph letter to the Pore, expressive of the high esteem which he enter tains for his Holiness. According to the Cologne Ga zette the Austrian Government has, at the desire of the Sovereigns of some of the petty states of Italy, remonstrated with the Court of Rome against the adoption of the liberal measures proposed by Pius IX. We hope his Holiness will turn a deaf ear to these remonstrances, but we fear, from the fallowing passage, which we find in the Commerce, that there has been some intrigue going on to circumvent the beneficent intentions of Pius IX. : " The Esprit Public says—' We learn from a certain source that the Apostolic Nuncio has received orders not to deliver passports to the Italian refugees who belong to the Pontifical States, and who desire to profit by the amnesty to return to their homes.' Our own information confirms this news. It is now three days since the Nuncio informed the refugees of the order not to deliver them passports. We shall add here an observation which gravely interests our duties of hospitality. Since the notification of Pius IX. the French Government has ceased to accord the refugees of the Roman States the allowance which no longer seemed necessary. If the effects of the amnesty are suspended, these refugees will be in a cruel position. It is important that our Government abould, as soon as possible, ascertain the tenor of th e or d er which has arrested in the ands of the Nuncio the deliver ance of the passports." The question of military flogging was on Wednesday subjected to the consideration of a numerous public meeting in Exeter Hall, where the chair was talc_.n by Mr. WAKLET, M.P. All the sentiments uttered, the facts collated, the incidents that occurred, and the resolutions adopted, pointed but in one direction, and evinced an unflinching determination on the part of the public never to rest quiet till the demoniacal power of the lash shall have been wrested from the hands of our naval and military authorities. It is of itself a national stigma to feel, that in this civi lised, enlightened, and humanely disposed community, any necessity should exist for attending meetings where the object is to prevent the English soldier and sailor from the hazard of being brand, d as a slave. Truly painful as is the bare reflection that our great services of national defence have been, and are still subject to be tarnished by the frequent, and, oftentimes, the most uncalled-for infliction of the most horrible cruelty, yet t o b e presen t, from a sense of duty, at such meetings as took place on Wednesday, and have to listen to such re volting details as were there enumerated, is enough to make one's blood boil, and harrow the feelings to their lowest depths. The public movement has commenced—the national mind is aroused. The scene of Wednesday will be repeated in • every part of the kingdom, and the Government and the Commander-in-Chief will soon be convinced, the, much as they have conceded by reducing the number of lashes, and the enforcement of other regulations, in older to mitigate the atrocity of military flogging, the British nation will indignantly demand the abso lute and unconditional extinction of lashing our patriotic defenders like beasts of the field. We have got our " Cruelty to Animals' Act," we shall soon have our " Cruelty to Soldiers' and Sailors' Act." It is impossible to suppose that the national will, which has so humanely protected from tyrannical treatment :he different animals, which we daily use for It is reported that the second son of Don CARLOS, the Infante Don JUAN, is about to marry the youngest sister of the Duke of MODENA. The Austrian Government is, it would appear, about to relax the laws against the press. We find the following in a letter from Vienna of the 2d August : " The Emperor has issued an ordonnance for the creation of a High Court of Censorship, similar to that in Prussia, to which appeals may be made against the decisions of the censors. It is stated that a similar tribunal will be insti tuted in each of the states of Germany, thus protect-- in.- writers against the arbitrary decisions of the censors, who'e scruples sometimes suppress productions which the Government would have an interest in seeing published." Madrid papers of the 13th have been received. The Heraldo publishes, as from a correspondent in London, a letter, which states that ESPARTERO had dispatched a confidential agent to Ostend, to concert measures with Don ENRIQUE. "The young prince," says the writer—. " Must have fallen into the snares laid for him by his perfidious friends, who wish to make use of his mime to effect a new revolution in Spain. The partizans of Espar tero, and of the revolution, easily persuaded the Infante Don Enrique that he was wrong ta confine his views to becoming the husband of the Queen, when he could aspire to a more elevated position. In a word, the Infante, following the sug gestions of his false friends, has positively renounced all pre tensions to the Queen's hand." The Herald() further states that it was rumoured in Madrid that Don ENRIQUE intended to invade Spain from Portugal. It adds, that it disbelieves the whole story, and doubtless, the Herald() has good reason for disbelieving it. The alleged London letter was no doubt concocted in Madrid, and the writer in the Herald() knows well the bureau in which it was concocted, and the purpose for which the story was invented.

It was all very well for Mr. Fox MAuLE to state, in the House of Commons, that the Duke of WELLINGTON, when consulted by the Government in reference to the melancholy end of poor WHITE, ob served, that " this must not occur again ---life and limb must be protected: But will life and limb be protected by simply reducing the number of stripes to fifty ? Before a single lash is administered, we ought to have the most positive certainty that death We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The King's Speech, on opening the Chambers, is the subject of comment in all of them. The Minis terial journals speak of it in terms of high praise. Tne Presse, which rarely expresses an unqualified approval of the measures of the Government, says— " We have nothing but approbation to give to the speech that the King delivered yesterday on opening the legislative session. It says all that ought to have been said on the oc casion, and says that in well chosen terms." cannot ensue. Medical testimony has disclosed tha this assurance cannot be given ; we say, then, that no man's life ought to be jeopardised by a punishment which may be as fatal to his existence as though he were shot for a crime of the highest magnitude. The The Constitutionnel has only the following lines We have no need to say that the Royal Speech has no political signification, that is evident from the first phrase, which postpones to the usual period of the season the domes tic and foreign affairs. All commentary would therefore be without object and useless." The other Opposition papers affect to sneer at it as an insignificant affair. following is the emphatic language of Mr. WAKLEY, which on Wednesday elicited such sympathising ap- plause:— was body of the unf or t una t e cu l pr it b e fi we h is " Why, they were told that a surgeon should examine the punishment inflicted, and that he should determine what amount of suffering a fellow -creature should be enabled to bear before life was in danger. For such a statement to be made in a civilised country was in itself a miracle. Good God, let them only conceive that a man should be required to test beforehand the capabilities of endurance of a human being— that he should gauge the strength of the human body—that Le should be required to ascertain by the application of his , cientitie skill what amount of suffering, what quantity of pai;,, could be endured by a fellow -creature before his life was put ill danger. It was an insult to the profession to which he had the honour to belong.—(lnimense cheering.) If he were in the army, whatever might be his prospect of degradation punishment poverty —or deprivation —his answer would be, that he would not be answerable for the consequences of one single lash.—(Enthusiastic applause.) He would—when the unhappy being under the lash had re ceived one—he would tell the commanding officer, standing by, in as stern a voice as he could, that he would not be answerable for the second. Oh, there was something in it which was in itself so disgusting, and so repulsive, that it was difficult to speak about it with common feeling cr patience." The Chamber of Peers met on Monday, and having appointed a Bureau for the verification of their powers, proceeded to the Council Chamber to hear the report of M. LAPLAGNE BARRIS on the attempted assassination of the KING. The report more than hints that in the opinion of the Committee, HENRY is insane, and this opinion receives confirmation from a statement made in the Echo of Oran of the Bth, by CHARLES HENRY, his son, a soldier serving in Algiers, who, on visiting his father in February last, found him labour ing under, strange hallucinations of mind. The editor of the Echo adds—" An inhabitant of Oran has told us that he went to Paris three months ago, taking a letter from CHARLES to his father, whom he saw several times. He appeared to be in sane, and F 0 the visitor on hi s return tol d CHARLES."

The Hindostan Lrrived at Suez early on the morning of the 7th inst., with fifty passengers on board, who proceed to England by the Ariel. The Hindostan left Calcutta on the sth of July, met the Precursor in the river, and had to wait four days at Point de Galle for the China mail.

Sales about 7,000 bales, including 500 American on speculatioa. American and Surats were firmer, and Mexico %ad. per lb. dearer than last Friday. American 4d. to 5%c1. per lb.—Shares were cheaper generally, By an advertisement which appeared yesterday in The Sun, it appears that a subscription has been commenced for the purpose of assisting those florists and gardeners who have so severely suffered by the late tremendous hail storm. No doubt many an industrious man has been all but ruined by this visitation, and to the most needy ought the funds raised to be promptly given. There is, however, as we are credibly informed, claimants for losses beyond the actual damage done by the storm, all old dilapidations in frames, &c., being in cluded in the amount sought to be obtained. The Committee therefore ought most scrupulously, on this ground, not to admit heavy claims, which would go far, if acceded to, to swamp the poorer sufferers, by carrying off nearly all the money raised on the occasion. The most careful scrutiny ought to take place to prevent fraud on the public bounty-- a case of unwarrantable claim is to be set up, by a party who a few weeks back offered his houses, stock and all, for 1501., out and out. He modestly asks 150/. now for the glass broken alone. We mention this to show that the Committecmust, as no doubt they will, look carefully into all claims before aid is given. A considerable purchase was made in Consols to-day on private account, by which the price was raised from 961; to 96.74, and t: a same value was paid for the Account.

The number of deaths of Europeans alone on the 15:h, 16th, and 17th of June is stated to be 255, and upwards of 100 of these cases belong to her Majesty's Stith Regiment. .No officer is mentioned as having fallen a victim.

From China we learn that the British authorities had not given up Chusan, according to the terms of the treaty, and a Chinese mob had expelled foreign residents from the city of Foo-chow-foo. Hitherto the violence of the populace had been confined to the city of Canton ; if it extends to the eastern ports, we may again see our commerce thrust out of China, and once more have to recover it by force of arms. BOMBAY, JULY 2. There is but little news. Letters received this day from Kurrachee, dated the 17th ult., describe the efforts made there by Sir Charles Napier and the other authorities to af ford relief to the sufferers from the cholera. The number of deaths of Europeans alone on the 15th, 16th, and 17th of June is stated to be 255.* No officer is mentioned as having fallen a victim. Hopes were entertained that the ravages of the fatal malady would diminish as the troops were marched out to other healthful places. The natives were dying by hundreds. Reports arc current of the approaching retirement from the Government of Madras of the Marquis of Tweedale, who is now at the Neilgherries. The Governor of Bombay, Sir George Arthur, is seriously ill, and has been considered un able during the last two months to perform the duties ofhis office. It is not known what line of conduct he intends to adopt, but complaints are heard of various matters which remain in abeyance. The fall of rain has been very great during the last four weeks, and there is now no appearance of dry weather. This is looked upon as favourable, not only to the health of the inhabitants, but as affording the best security for an abundant harvest. I send this by express to Madras, with the hope of its pro. ceeding by the Calcutta steamer to Suez. CALCUTTA, Jta.v 2, 1846. There is at the present time, little passing in this vast empire worthy of detailing to you. Peace seems to prevail everywhere ; but in the Punjaub it is an armed peace. Hatred and revenge rankle in the hearts of 100,000 men, whose supremacy we have hurled to the earth and compelled to hide their shame by a temporary recourse to seclusion and compulsory inactivity, whilst they are no doubt fomenting each others discon tent, and dreaming of, if not more actively engaged in, schemes to retrieve their fallen state and resume the sway they so lately held over their unfortunate country. That such is the feeling prevailing among the great body of the discontented Khalsa there can be no doubt, for the thraldom under which our presence keeps the whole nation is felt to be intolerable, even by the abandonded Ranee and her imbecile minion Rajah Lail Singh, who have expressed openly their desire to be freed from the incubus which we have proved to be.

ARRIVAL OF TROOPS FROM CEYLON. CHATHAM, AUGVST 18.—This afternoon some detachments of regiments arrived at the invalid depot, Fort Pitt, from Gravesend, consisting of two corporals and nineteen privates of the 95th Regiment, four privates of the 90th Light Infantry, and one private of the 7th Dragoon Guards, with four women and four children of the 95th, and one child attached to the 58th. These troops were in charge of staffisurgeen P. Daly Murray. These detachments came by the Marian transport, on board which ship they embarked at Colombo on the 17th of February last, taking on board also the head-quarters of the 90th Light Infantry; and on the 14th of April the ship arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, and the head-quartets of the 90111 then disem barked for the purpose of strengthening the military forces there stationed. During the passage between Ceylon and the Isle of France the wife of Dr. Robert Ellson, of the 90th, died on board. At the Island of Ascension the vessel put In and received several seamen of the Royal Navy, and between that island and the Western Isles two of them died ; and the 95th daring the voyage lost by deaths one sergeant, five privates, one woman, and one child.. Most of the sol diers that.. have come home embarked with the regim'ent at CorX lu the year 1838. The private of the 7th Dragoon Guards was taken on board at the Cape. ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE CITIZEN STEAM BOAT.— On Wednesday:Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Angel and Crown Tavern, Strand, on the body of Richard Davis, an engineer, who lost his life on Saturday last under the following frightful circum stances :—John Bush, piet man at the Nine-elms station, Vauxhall, deposed that on Saturday, about half-past twelve o'clock, while standing on the outer dummy, the Citizen steam-boat D came to take in passengers for London. Several persons came on beard, alter which the Captain, who was on the starboard paddle-box, cried out "Go on." At the same moment witness observed deceased placing an oil can on the larboard paddle-box, the top et - which was half open. Immediately afterwards a scream was heard, and the engine, which had gone about half a turn, was stopped. The captain and several Persons looked into the paddle-box, but the deceased had dis appeared. Drags and boats were used to recover the body, but they were unable to find it. Charles Maiming stated that he was at the helm at the time of the accident, but did not observe the deceased go down to oil the wheels. Ile had often gone down before, and it was the usual custom to make the wheels fast with a rope, but he had neglected it en the present occasion. Richard Hearn, a fisher man, said that he discovered the body near the police-ship off Arundel -stairs at an early hour on Tuesday morning, It was quite fresh, and seemed free oftnjury. Verdict, Accidental Death. POISONOUS BERRIES.—An inquest was held on Wed nesday at the London Hospital, before Mr. W. Baker, jun., on the body of Thomas Barker, late proprietor of the Veteran beer-shop, in the Wh i techapel-road, who died in the above institution, on Monday last, from the effects of eating poisonous berries, suspected to be those of the deadly nightshiule. A child named Samuel Jones, aged three years, died in the sane hospital on Tuesday tram a semilar cause. There are three other persons in a dangerous state in the hospital, who have partaken of poisonous berries, and the greatest excitement prevails on the subject. A long Inquiry was gone into, from which it appeared that on Saturday afternoon the wife of the deceased purchased a pint of berries from a man in * the garb of a countryman, which she formed into a pie, of which her husband and herself partook on Sunday. Whit.: they were eating the pie the child of a customer (the deceased Jones) came in, :nit they gave him some. About two hours after eating the pie, the witness, her husband, and the child, were vio lently affected with pains in their limbs, drowsiness, and convulsions. A medical gentleman was called in, who attempted to administer emetics to the sufferers ; but Parker was unable to swallow tlieni, and became delirious. The unfortunate man died 011 the following morning, after enduring great agony. The child expired twenty-four hours afterwards. Mrs. Parker, in answer to questions by the coroner, said the man who sold them called them nettle berries. She was a countrywoman, but never heard that name before. A long discussion took place, and it was agreed to adjourn the inquiry to afford the police an opportunity of finding the man wh4 sold the poi sonous berries, MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—KINGSBRIDGE. AUG 18.— A boat, containing three men and a boy, went out to Beg airy Bay, in order to meet the fishing-boats which were employed in the pil charti,llshery, in older to save time and to strike a good bargain With the fishermen with their fish.

Ofourproepects I can give no cheering news. The pressure in the money market is appalling. 25 per cent. is willingly paid fur money, which, even at that ruinous rate , is not to be had t o an y amoun t. G overnment has refused to open the export warehouse, or to advance upon goods, and it is impossible to say what may be the result. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Calcutta Overland Price Current of July.) We have no improvement to notice in the position of com mercial affairs since our last issue of the Bth ult., nothing having occurred in the interval to relieve the pres sure in the Money Market which appears to be the sole cause of the continued stagnation in business which we have to report, whilst the demand for funds to meet the prompt of the May opium sale, which fell due on the 18th proximo, and the occurrence of another sale of upwards of 5,000 chests on the 29th, has kept the market in a state of excitement; several memorials have been addressed to Government within the last month regarding the re opening of the Export Warehouse, some praying that ad vances might be immediately resumed, and others that the supplies required at home might be drawn entirely by drafts on this Treasury, the replies to which plai n l y i nd i cate that it is out of - the power of the authorities here to in terfere in the matter without instructions from home, and consequently the arrival of each ma now anxiously looked forward to to decide the question one way or other, as either would be preferable to the present uncertainty ; for although the re- opening of the warehouse would perhaps aff Td the most immediate and general relief, a decla ration that advances would not be resumed for a specific time would eventually prove almost equally edicacious, as parties at home would doubtless take every advantage of the scar city here, and remit freely were they certain that their cal culations as to the probable returns were not liable to be de ranged by the interference of Government ; every thing there. fore appears to depend on the period which may elapse before the decision of the Court of Directors is made known, as in the interval we fear the remittances by draughts on this Tree sury will continue on a mod era t e sca l e. Our Exchange on England has continued to advance, and we would now quote 2s. 2id. to 2s. 3d. as the rate for good 10 months date paper, with numerous drawers and but few buyers. The foregoing remarks will sufficiently account for the con tinued in act i v i ty o b servable in our markets for both experts and imports; a s regar d s the former, business has been almost exclusively confined to sugar, whilst in the latter, although sales have been to a comparatively fair extent, they have only been effected by submitting to a considerable decline, which, however, has been in a measure compensated for by the unprecedentedly favourable rate at which the proceeds have been remitted. Government securities have, as might have been antici pated, experienced a further material decline; and although but few parties seem disposed to sell out at the preent cur rency, those compelled to do so find considerable difficulty in effecting their purpose, a further reason for which may be found in the circumstances of the Bank of Bengal having again raised its rates one per cent., the interest now charged on deposit of Company's paper being 11 per cent., and on any other seem-4y 12, which are, we believe, above those charged sincein thatthe shipments have b c f thee:n g b i k n . at N an o y t . w p i tell; n forward somewhat slowly we find the rates for dead weight fully maintained f,r first. class ships, and as produce is now ar riving freely from the interior we do not look for any imme diate decline.

A tribute which we have long anticipated has been paid to one of the foremost champions of the great politico-commercial cause of free trade. A public dinner was given to JOHN BRIGHT, on Wednesday , evening, the 19th of August, 1846, by the Corpora tion of Durham, and by his constituents, the electors of that ancient city. As a mark of gratitude, that banquet, in the Sale and Exhibition Rooms of Dur ham, is honourable alike to its enfranchised citizens, and to its eloquent and public-spirited representative. In Mr. BRIGHT we have an example of the efficacy of - courage, consistency, earnestness, and perseverance in a public character, and of the certainty of ultimate triiiivph to any popular movement when it is con ceived in justice, advocated with temperateenthusiasm, and directed by men whose abilities are commensurate with rectitude and disinterestedness. Never was the potency of moral force so brilliantly exemplified as by the extraordinary association of which Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT were the most conspicu ous leaders, and the most acknowledged ornaments. Never was oratory animated by nobler intentions never did it wield a more beneficent sway over the hearts and imaginations of a community, than in the instance of the once-despised, but now respected and renowned Anti-Corn-law League. By no intimida tion, by no rhetorical cajoleries, by no specious en treaties, or deceptive misrepresentations, did the members of that association win the attention, con quer the prejudices, and elicit the acquiescence of an inimical multitude. They resorted to none of the elaptraps usually employed by political innovators; they garbled no authorities ; they disdained to tamper with the susceptibilities of their auditors. While others might have descended to the embellishments of rhfo:oric aod the lures of passionate declamation, the League orators won the applause, and at last the coincidence of their antagonists, by divulging facts with the c!ear light of common sense. They at tracted the ignorant among the protectionists by their logical arguments —they shamed the designing among 02e protectionists by their candid statements. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE RIVER PLATE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDA Y.-- H er Majesty's ship America, 50 guns, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, arrived this morn ing from the Pacific with a freight of 1,800,000 dollars on merchants' accounts. Val Her dates are from Mazatlan, F e b . 9; St. Blas, March 3; paraiso, April 26 ; and Rio, June 23. She crossed the equator on the 9th of July in long 24 deg. 48 min. W. By this arrival we h ave nine days later news from Rio and the Parana; from the latter place rather disastrous. Captain Gordon has visited California and the disputed Oregon territory, and suffered very much in health when on the cast of Mexico. On the day the America left Rio (the 23d of June) news arrived there from the River Plate. The ships (five war steamerF, mentioned in the news brought by the Swift packet) and convoy had returned down the Parana, with the loss of three vessels run ashore and destroyed. Our affairs with Rosas seem to be in as bad a state as ever, and but little can be expected to be done to remedy the ex isting horrors. We regret to announce that Mr. Hamilton, the British Minister at Rio, had had a severe paralytic attack, but was getting better when the America left. The accouchement of the Empress of Brazil had not taken place up to the date of the America leaving Rio, but it was daily expected. Rear-Admiral Englefield, with the squadron under his command, were in th e Ri ver• P late when the America left. The freight bro ug ht was i mmediately taken chargeby Mr. Robert son , a mem b er of the firm of Shaw, Maxwell, and Co., of London, for conveyance to the Bank of .England.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FRom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. COWES, AUG. 19.—The following vessels started this day for Prince Albert's Cup. Course, from Cowes Roads to the westward, round a boat off Yarmouth, thence to the Nab, and back to Cowes : Naiad, 70 tons, John Quantock, Esq. Heroine, 35 tons, J. R. Carnac, Esq. Intrepid, 55 tons, Duke of Beaufort. Spider, 33 tons, I. E. Lacon, Esq. Drift, 55 tons, James Lyons, Esq. This was a handicap race, and the allowance of time for difference of tonnage was according to Mr. Aekers' scale. When the gun fired at I 1 A.M., there was a strong breeze from the northward and westward, and the yachts proceeded to the westward, the Drift taking the lead, closely followed by the Heroine. On their return from Yarmouth the Drift had the advantage by three minutes and a half, and in run ning to the Nab she increased it to nine minutes, but in beating back she lost ground, and only came in four minutes and a half before the Heroine, which vessel being,allowed 13 min. 10 sec., was declared the winner. The next vessel was the Intrepid, which came in 33% minutes after the Heroine, and the Spider 22 minutes after her. The Naiad did not round the Nab. Never could there have been a finer day for the match ; but the vessels during the whole of the regatta do not seem to have been well matched—there was nothing like neck and neck in it. Her Majesty, the Prince, Princess Royal, and Prince of Wales, left Osborne yesterday morning in the r o y a l y ac ht, intending to proceed to Devouport : it blew so strong that the yacht brought to off Yarmouth for the night, and this day again proceeded, accompanied by the Black Eagle and Fairy tender. East Cowes' Regatta took place yesterday. The crews of the whole of the sailing boats appeared to have taken too much grog on board, as two of them capsized. Fortunately Captain Morgan, of the Adder Revenue cutter, taw the ac cident, and immediately put off in his boat and saved the two men ; as he returned to the cutter the second boat upset ; he was fortunate enough to pick up one of the men, and the ferryboat the other. This is the eleventh man that Roberton, the ferryman, has saved, and the seventh that Captain Morgan has rescued. THE POTATO BLlGHT. — Whatever doubts there may be as to the extent of this visitation last year, there is no mistake this year; it is too general to admit of a doubt, whether on the hills or the valleys, the gardens or the fields, all seem dead or dying. From all parts of the county the accounts are equally tue same. lURTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number.% deaths registered in the metropolis during the week ending Saturday, Aug. 15, 1846, was 967.; of this total the nutpr ae . of deaths from disease was 925, showing a diminution et :c o in the number of deaths from disease, as compared with the week preceding. The deaths from cholera were 23; ' l ' o dysentery, 8; and from diarrhoea, 149. The deaths fil d consumption were 128. There were 1,363 births regist el " - during the week. A. BIT OF DEVONSHIRE.—Mr. Justice Platt brough t d out" a Devo ns hi re b oy in good style last week at Exeter, 1.. evidently enjoy e d th e f un. In a case of arson one of the w i n / nesses against th e pr i soner was John Brown, twelve years i d age, whose b us i ness, he said, WAS to "go about ' long II mother," selling " v i s h." He :teed that he was on an t ire d over the tunnel, about vower o'clock in the afternoon, ano zeed smok a' coming out o' the back bonze; he know' - vower o'clock, 'cos he th oug h t w h en was a tap 0 1 th , Ar c that his mother wid'n cat c h hi m to whop him. The Jul; —When did you expect your whopping; that e vening Boy—Wh en h er catch'd me. Judge—What made you ti; upon the arch. Boy —cos I could see her a coluil i b; Judge —And then you could bolt, eh? Boy—Eees, zur, 03 - 7 board. TRIAL BY JURY.—Although trial by jury is c a t e , l/ : iated to secure invaluable privileges, there are, notwn h , standing, some cases, of not unfrequent occurrence, i G which it fails t o accomplish its purpose, and which stronf!! ! !. illustrates the nec ess it y o f some additional qu dificatiouM jurors to that w hi c h i s now required. The following Cf.; furnishes a som ew h at amusing illustration of this fact :—A re " days since, a gentleman, who had been looking over the r e : t port of the ca ses t r i e d at the recent assizes at Bodmin, met with a neighb our , w h o, as he was aware, had been summone d to attend the assizes as a juror; when the following conver t sation took place. Well, —, you have been at the assize,s, , ,...: hear, as a juryman, did you sit on any cases? " Yes several." Were you on the jury when'the case of Conde _7• , Cayzer was tried? " L et ' s see, sir —what case was that Why that in whi c h th e ta il or brought an action against th e constable for some slanderous charges show, breaking dog' ) gates. &c.' ! yes, sir, yes, I rememb3r that case veil well." But ho v came you, after the evidence produced, to give a verdict for the (it feldant ? " Oh, sir, you ma y de pend that the c a s e was d ec id e d r i g h t. I was sitting bacit, behind, and when th e y as k e d me what I nought, I s ai d (for I didn't exactly understand about plaintiff and defendant) that it ought to be giv'd in favour of the one that Was injured." Very good, --, but which did you think loss this injured man " Oh, the tailor, certainly, for he los t „ his trade by it, and the other man couldn't prove f ir charges against him." Well, but you gave your verdict for the defendant —that was the constable. " Did we?" On great surprise). Mr. -- then sent for the paper, and read the report of it to -.---, who exclaimed at the ter mination:—Well, I was never more 'stonished in my life; I never knowed till this mit:net but what 'twits giv'd in for the tailor !-- West Briton. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. —During the pa st week this establishment has been more than usual attrac tive, in consequence of th e l ectures of Drs. Ryan and Bach hoffner—the former gentleman having chosen as his theme " the philosophy of steam as a motive power;" and the latter savant the " history and varieties of electric telegraphs." We need not say much on the propriety and fitness of such subjects in:these steam times, but we cannot avoid reiteration of our opinion of the valuable services this institution at :d its professors are continually rendering to science in thus brinr ing so forcibly, and yet so simply, before the world al: ihat is new and really useful. NA. are the attractions of populsr science confiner: merely to the lecture-room s ot th e profe :sot% every p onion of the instituti on i s fitted with novel appies' tions of industry and inec h an i cal genius to the furtht ran e of human comfort an d h appiness. By the by, we must not f )r -get to congr a t u l a t e the directors:f ir the v as t amount ofpublic patronage they daily i ncur, and we are bound to say they deserve it. l'h e music: is another dep artment here whit ' ' deserves particular notice, and is highly creditable to its conductor, Dr. Wallis. RUBBISH FOR SALE.—As there is a doubt about a purchaser coining forward to bid for the Pavilion at Brighton, Wt suggest that it be bought up for the Chinese Collection, unto "Number One, St. Paul's," should Purchase it for their tea establish ment. We know of no other purposes it could be turned to ; and with a few paper lanterns and a real native at the door, we feel con fident a deal of business in selling tea, or exhibiting curiosities, migh t be•done. If is pulled down, it will be a fine spec en of brok-a• china. —Punch.

FATAL STEAMBOAT 11CIDENT.--DEATII OF A NoTO mous SMUGGLER.—On Tuesday night, between nine and ten o'clock, a waterman, named James Hogan, was proceeding down the river in his boat, which was towing astern qf the Sir Edward Bankes sterun shlp, when his boat began to fill with water, from the heavy swell raised by the steamer's paddles, and he was about to cast off the rope and set his boat free ; before he could do so the beat tnrned right over, with the unfortunate man underneath. Although it was very dark at the time, several Wherries put oft' to his assistance, and by the time many persons reached the boat it was free, Hogan himself having cut the tow rope as it was turning over. They looked for the waterman, but he had disappeared, and his body still remains under water. The deceased was about thirty-five years of age, and has left a wife and three children. Hogan was known to the Thatne% police as one of the most expert smugglers on the river. He has been repeatedly committed to Clerkenwell, Kingston, and Maidstone gaols, for running contraband tobacco. His frequent convictions and imprisonment did not deter him from pursuing the contraband trade, until the unfortunate termination of his existence. His practice was to follow in the wake of the foreign-going steamers on their w ay down the river, an d receive any tobacco thrown into his boat fr o m. the stern wi n d ows which might have escaped the search of revenue officers on the way up the river, or the " ifbreitta suer e the vessel was moored. Hogan was also In at onth steamers on their arrival in the river, for the purpose g rod—. anything which hag het vac! duty, DUTCH and FLANDERS MAIL! .. .
