Another majority of thirty-three, by which Lord WicK Low's amendment of a fixed duty of five shillings in lieu of the proposed sliding-scale was quashed, gives an additional assurance to the country that our congratulations as to the final settlement of these measures are neither injudicious or precipitate. Slowly, it is true, but steadily, the principles of free trade are winning their way to the statute-book. A pure metal has been cast into the machinery of Par liament, and despite the casual disarrangement of that machinery and its occasional clashing and entangle ment, the golden metal will ultimately come forth stamped with the signet of legislative accordance. As we have repeatedly taken opportunities to remark, the discussion upon these extraordinary innovations upon our commercial policy, though em bellished with the tropes of rhetoric and enforced by the inferences deducible from statistics, have nevertheless displayed a more remark able discursiveness than possibly any previous debate ness when the tide of defeat has set in ? Neverthe less, distressing as is this ill-timed exhibition o: pleasantry upon a question of such infinite importance, we cannot but regard it as auguring well, and congratu late the country upon it accordingly. It is manifest without question, that after the triumphant majorities which each division upon the Corn Bill has given in favour of free trade, both in the Upper and the Lower House—it is manifest, we say, that this very display of merriment among the protection ists proceeds from the very hopelessness and helplessness of their position. Seeing that their ultimate overthrow is inevitable, they appear to be partially reconciled to their destiny, and prepared to take the defeat in good part. Conscious that all arguments upon the mercantile benefits or in juries which must follow the adoption of the proposed policy would be altogether so much useless exercise of their lungs, they disdain the ancient admonition of " sparing their breath to cool their porrage," and digress upon all kinds of subjects saving and ex cepting alone the subject under discussion. From this very insouciance we may perceive the certainty there is of shortly beholding free trade the law of ;he land, and of beholding, moreover, the most in veterate protectionists bowing down in acquiescence to the doctrines of their antagonists, when time and experience shall have proved to them that freedom of commerce is the surest means of promoting agricul tural welfare. Sir G. CLERK on Tuesday brought forward in the House of Commons five resolutions founded on the recommendations contained in the minute of the Lords of the Privy Council of Trade, of the 6th June inst., and the greater part of the evening was devoted to the discussion. We have already alluded at some length to these recommendations, and approved of the spirit in which they were framed, preferring them to those contained in the report of the Gauge Commissioners. The two first resolutions were:only disposed of on Tuesday, and the further con sideration of the other three was adjourned until this day. There is no doubt that considerable evil resulted from the break of gauge, and that consider able inconvenience was occasioned thereby; but the great question seems to be, is that inconvenience so serious in amount, and productive of so much injury to the public, as to make it worth the while of that public to devote a large sum of money, amounting at least to 1,000,0001. sterling, for its removal ? We have already shown that if the change is to be at all effected, it can only be made at the public expense. Any other course would be so totally inequitable and unjust that there would be little prospect of its re ceiving the sanction of a British Parliament ; indeed, we doubt if a single supporter could be found in either House to so monstrous a proposition as that the great expense of altering the gauge should be thrown on the par ticular company whose line was to be so altered for the public convenience. Before, then, we come to a conclusion on this question, it is necessary to con sider whether the evil is wholly unmixed, and whether there is no advantage to the public in the existing difference. There is little doubt, that in consequence of the jealousy that has hitherto existed between the London and Birmingham and the Great Western—the representatives of the rival systems—each ofthose great companies has been stimulated to the utmost degree of exertion to increase the accommodation afforded to the public, and to diminish the expense as much as possible, for the purpose of securing the public suffrages in favour of their own particular gauge. By this means the great evil which would otherwise have resulted from the monopoly exercised by the companies has been in a great degree avoided, and the public have had the benefit of a certain degree of competition, the only one to which rail way management has hitherto been exposed, and t a h a e m great ite advantage of which is so well known and fully appreciate railway in every year, far these improvements experienecea.rAev gaasiny,eit is almost universally applications of the resourceas but in the infancy of oavne4n,,eitna.tissst improvements are introduced quite i b mpossible to say how ofesec:cotended, whatsmh should it is no trifling advantage that scientieficniamyenbe have an opportunity of observing the workings of the present system under varied and different circum stances, and it affords an additional chanc e of early discoveries being made and c o a f rr % i i e e d w i: d to esi e r x a e b e l u e t t i honai It is, therefore, in some points their in Lord 5 h a i n p a s is, in a t h t e l r e e as s t h , o q u u l i d te still slta e c x ie is n t to the narrow gauge at the public t a to di w ff a er r e ra n n c t e not at present recommending a red e u x c p t e i n on se o . f t r h t e i b s r a o l a so d impossible to say that some simple and cheap w p it l h, plan orm aay.. not speedily be discovered for doing away least considerably reducing, the evils at present at tendant on a break of gauge. Many mechanical contrivances, stated by their Lordships to be of great ingenuity, have already been submitted for that pur pose ; and although none of them may be quite suffi cient altogether to do away with the evil, yet it is clear that the inventive genius of the country is at work; on the question ; and it is impossible to say how soon the problem may be solved. This great expenditure would then become worse than useless, and there is therefore strong reason to pause before a step of the kind is irrevo cably taken. It being then admitted that the exist ing broad gauge lines are not to be disturbed, the next question Is, what course can be adopted to re- in the records of the Imperial Parliament. Some amongst the antagonists of the measure have shirked every consideration bearing upon its intrinsic merits : they have sedulously avoided any direct allusion to a given point of its application, and have contented themselves with certain vague innendoes er rambling references to colonial disaffection and other extraneous matters. These orators, and these alone, have been the utterers of what Mr. DISRAELI most happily de ; signated_ as " damnable it era ti ons o f s t a l e so phistries. They have showered upon the Ministerialists and upon the nominal Oppositionists an appalling shower of globular missiles—but these missiles have invariably proved to be nothing more than the bubbles of a spe c i ous a n d pretended logic. Others have strayed still further from the question of impor tation and exportation duties by indulging in a strain of vituperative bitterness upon personages whose poli tical judgment they had prey iouslyfollowed as infallible. But their revulsion of feeling has especially expended itself upon one whom they had heretofore scarcely neglected apotheosising. Inflamed with chagrin, and debilitated by an irreparable defeat, their voices have mingled tones of reproach and lamentation ; they oscillated between personal invective and self-com miseration ; they directed their ejaculations almost exclusively to the Prime Minister, and have almost addressed him, in the very phrases of CATULLUS "NuIIane res potuit crudelis flectere mentis Consilium ? . • • ' At non hac quondam nobis promisee dedisti Voce : mibi non hoc miserm sperare jubebas !" Only anxious to avoid any decisive collision upon the real bearings of free trade, whether upon commerce or agriculture, and at the same time to ensure, if pos sible, the discomfiture of those whom their morbid imaginations pictured to them as their deadliest ene mies, they have snatched at anything likely to prove a stalking horse for the ebullition of their excite ment—no matter to them if it were as garbled as the statistics they selected as their first weapons of attack, or as decrepid as their last weapon of attack —the language used upon the Catholic Question, no less than seventeen years ago, by Sir R. PEEL, Such has been the behaviour of the advocates for a perpetuation of the corn-laws in the House of Com mons. And, saving the avoidance of anything like individual recrimination, the Peers have displayed no inferior versatility. As Lord BROUGHAM jO. cosely, but truthfully, observed, their speeches reminded one of " choral symphonies," various in their modulation, but " attuned to the same gamut." If we required any demonstration of the accuracy of this statement, the discussion which ensued upon the Earl of Wicimow's amendment would illustrate its correctness. What shall be said, for in stance, of a debate upon the taxation or non taxation of the food of the people degenerating into a mere theme for quo ti ng f rom VOLTAIRE, for quibbling upon a text from " Paradise Lost," or for jesting at the absence of physiognomical beauty in the ex-Chancellor, Lord BROUGHAM ? Do these mere frivolities of boarding-school chit-chat accord well with the solid and thoughtful reputation which Lord STANLEY has acquired as a Parliamentary speaker ? Are they not, on the contrary, thejindications of an incapacity to battle with a solemn and sober earnes THE SUN, LONDO'N, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 18, 1816. Intelligence from Portugal of the 10th inst.Thas be en received. The PALAIILLA Ministry was still in power; but it was considered not improbable that they would have to give way to SA DA BANDEIRA and his friends. The juntas were dissolving themselves throughout the country, except at Santarem, where the junta, headed by MANOEL BASSOS, had under their control a force of from four to five thousand armed men. His proceed ings, however, were sanctioned by the QUEEN, who had expressed her approval by a royal decree. There were a thousand men under arms at Villa Franca. The people had retired from before Oporto, and hadin most of the districts returned to their homes. The Augsburgh Gazette states that the Sardinian Go vernment had proposed to Austria to submit the ques tions in dispute between them, on the subject of the wine and salt duties, to the arbitration of some third Power, to be chosen by Austria. The same paper an nounces the arrival in the port of Ancona of two Aus trian men-of-war, and states that the city itself is guarded by Austrian troops. The Emperor and Empress of RUSSIA arrived at Cra cow on the 4th instant. Madrid papers of the 10th have been received. The arrival of GONZALES BRAVO in Madrid, from Lisbon, is announced by El Clamor Publico. This is the only article of intelligence in these papers.

A rumour was, however, prevalent that two Cardinals had died, and that a third had been murdered. The Presse says—" The Central League, which de sired to establish itself at Paris for the furtherance of free trade, haying demanded permission from the Minister of the Interior to constitute itself, has been for the present refused such authorisation."

EAST INDIA HOUSE. A quarterly General Court of this Company was held at the Company's House, in Leadenhall-street yesterday. Mr. Hoca took the chair at twelve o'clock, and reported that the company had taken proper measures to secure that the pension granted to Lord Hardinge should be paid irrespec tive of his salary as Governor-General of India. The former directors were then re- elected. An Mx. PRONILIETOR, rose to bring under the attention of the Court a motion of which he had given notice, namely : —" That adverting to the charge of the Lord Bishop of Cal cutta ou his recent departure from Bengal, and now re printed in England ; and also to the printed statements of the Rev. James Peggs, late a missionary in Orissa, it be re ferred to the Honourable Court of Directors to consider whether the time is not arrived when such rites and usages as contradict the law of nature and overthrow the first prin ciple of our common humanity, may not be terminated con sistently with the amelioration of the natives and the security of our Indian empire." The sacrifice of human life which took place in India, and the idolatrous worship which existed there, ought, in his opinion, now to be put down. Such was the opinion of the Lord Bishop of Calcutta, and such, he conceived, would be the opinion of every Christian in the country. He would, however, withdraw the motion, as he did not conceive that he had sufficient information from India to lay before the Court. A !otter was read by the CHAIR -VAN, from Mr. Thompson, statin g that his health would not permit hlm to attend the Courf, and begging leave to postpone his motion in reference to Ups case of the deposed Baja of Sattara. Leave having been granted, The CHAIRMAN declared that the business of the Court havin g been concluded, it stood adjourned. Son is disappointment was manifested that the notice re specting Lieut. Waghorn's services was not brought forward. GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY. A g eneral meeting of shareholders was held yesterday at the G , forge and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, for the purpose of conic' ering the propriety of approving of a Bill to authorise the as le of this line to the South-Eastern Railway Company; Mr. Pi lexen in the chair. It appeared from the statements of the Chairman, and the re port read by the Secretary, that the terms of purchase, .s stipulated] between the two companies, was 310,0001., and that the South-Eastera Railway Company had, on the 24th of April, paid a deposit of 10 per cent., or 31,0001. on the ori ,;inalTurchase-money, to the directors of the Gravesend and Rochester Company, as a guarantee for the due fulfilment of their portion of the contract, one term of which was, that it was to be completed and ratified either on the Ist of Septet aber next, or thirty days after the close of the present session of Parliament, under pain of forfeitu re o f the deposit.rosolution in approval of the terms of sale was moved by the Chairman, and passed unanimously. Resolutions approving of the report, also complimentary to the _superintendent and secretary, having been passed, the eaoetiaz separated, after a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

REPRESENTATION OF IPSWICH.—Mr. Rigby Iv a* on, who some time since retired from the representation of Ipi w t e h , has age.in addressed the lectors, soliciting their totes at th,, up . proachilg eleetion, -' i duce the inconvenience to the minimum—so that the public should suffer as little as possible ? The recom mendation ofthe Commissioners seems well calculated to effect the object. It appears reasonable that all new lines should be constructed on that gauge which is in the most ge neral use throughout the country, unless they are so closely connected with existing lines on the broad gauge as to cause a great inconvenience by a differ ence therefrom. We, however, fully concur in the justice of the reasoning which sanctions the construction of the South Wales line on the gauge originally approved of and sanctioned by Parliament. The importance of a second continuous line of railway to Ireland cannot be overrated ; besides the direct communication from London with the Government dock-yards, near Pembroke, and with Milford Haven and Fishguard, will be a great public benefit. It cannot be forgotten that the speediest route to the whole of the southern district of Ireland will be thereby effected. The sea voyage from Fishguard may be made in little more than four hours, and if a railway be carried on to Valentia, the distance from London may be regularly travelled in about twenty-four hours. By this means our communication with America will be greatly expedited ; and it is scarcely too much to say that, ere long it will become the high road for all travellers to the western hemisphere, not only from England, but from the entire of Europe. The first resolution was agreed to without a division, with the addition of the words " and South Wales Railway" after the words "Great Western Railway," by which the inconvenience of short lines of a few miles, emanating from the South Wales line being constructed on 'a different gauge from the parent line, will be avoided. The second resolution was altered in its terms, the House having no power to bind parties by their mere resolution. It would appear ridiculous to vote that which they bad not power to enforce. It was therefore, in place thereof, re solved, " That it is the opinion of the House that provision should be made by law to prevent the direc tors of railways from altering their gauge." This is perfectly just, and we doubt not a Bill will speedily be introduced to give effect to the resolution of the House. The remaining three resolutions respect the different lines that should be made on the different gauges, and we have already expressed our approba tion of the manner in which they have been selected.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, including 1,000 bales American, at sd. to 6d. per lb., for export to Russia, 800 Egyptian at 5 1 4 d., and the rest American at former rates. The market closed heavily, though prices on the whole were unchanged. Shares were dull. At the Court of Proprietors of the East India Company, held this morning, the subject of some public manifestation towards Lieutenant Waghorn by the general body of the East India proprietors was fixed to be brought forward, and no doubt a most unanimous vote would have been come to upon the merits of this gentleman. In what form, however, the resolution will ultimately be proposed, was not known at the meeting of the Court, as the proprietor who gave notice of the motion was not present to day. We believe that the directors have already subscribed 300/. to the fund now raising for the gallant and persevering Lieutenant. The subject is one which excites a great deal of interest among all parties interested in the East India, the China, and the Australian trades. In reference to this sub ject it may be stated that some disappointment has been expressed at the formal reply of Mr. Gladstone to the Lieutenant, upon the subject of shortening the communica tion between Singapore and Port Jackson, the expense being at present the objection to the making of a trial. In a great commercial country like this, surely the "stingy" principle cannot be the best policy. There are no later Colonial arrivals in the City th's morning. The Consol Market has been very firm this morning at 9514% for the Account. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been just quoted at 95% %; and in the New Three-and a- Quarter per Cents. there has been an improvement from 96% to 97%. Ex c h equer- bill s have risen to 15s. premium, but they are now a shade cheaper. India bonds from 275. have receded to 21s. premium. The additional success of the Ministerial Corn. law project in the House of Lords last night has given much satisfaction in mercantile circles this morning. The only bargains in the Foreign Market to-day have been a rise in Portuguese Four per Cents. for the Account from 48 to 49 1 4, and a slight reaction in Spanish to 24; in the Three per Cents. to 37 1 4, and in the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 59 3 4. The Railway Shares and Scrips have been steady, without any material change in the quotations. BRITISH FUNDS. ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES. Three per Cent.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BERMONDSEY.—On Tuesday, between ten and eleven o'clock, a very extensive fire broke out in the premises belonging to Messrs. Bayly and Son, sail-manu facturers, at Bermondsey-wall. The discovery was made by Ser geant Middleton, of the M division. An unusual glare of light, in the upper floor of the building, convinc e d the officer that the place was on fire, and not many minutes elapsed before the flames shot through every window, and for nearly an hour the reflection of the superintendent ; the West of England, with the conflagration could be seen from the most distant par's of ' well as the parish engines, arrived in quick suc cession. metropolis. Engines from the London establishment, with however, had assumed a most alarming aspect, •y • e°• aGds w fir c e r'e the whole range of premises where it com menced completely enveloped, but a spacious wooden bridge, ex tending across the street, was also blazing away with gre..t fury. At first it was feared that the contiguous grana ries of Messrs. Begbie and Co., and Messrs. Somers, would have also fallen a prey to the flames. The water obtained from the mains in the road was found inadequate to feed the whole of the engines ; the powerful float from Rotherhithe was, therefore, moored up, and set to work. The premises abutting upon the river the firemen were enabled to discharge copious streams from the float into the midst of the flames, and with the assistance of the land engines, the fire was subdued by one o'clock. By that hour Messrs. Bayly's front build ing was nearly gutted, and the adjoining premises severely damaged. ' The origin of the Are could not be as .ertained. The police, under Inspector Frond, had a most difficult task to perform, in keeping the many thousand spectators out of the reach of danger. CAUTION TO LADIES.—We have received the follow ing statement from a lady who is Well known to us, and on whose veracity we have the fullest reliance :—Having occasion, one day during the past week, to purchase a Parasol, she went into one of the large drapery establishments in St. Paul's Churchyard. Several ar ticles of this kind were shown her. She purchased one, and pro ceeded down Ludgate-hill, when, to her great dismay, she found one of the linendraper's most expensive parasols dangling from the chair of her watch, arid partially covered by her shawl. It was evident that the hook of the parasol had accidentally got entangled in the chain while standing at the counter. She at once hastily returned to the shop and gave back the article. Fortunately it had not been missed, and, as far as this transaction is concerned, the matter ended. But suppose this expensive article had been missed, and the lady fol lowed, and, as must have been the case, the property found on her person, no evidence could have been adduced by her to rebut the charge of felony. It would have been sufficient for the prosecutor to have sworn that this particular article was his, and had been ex hibited for sale to the lady in question, and found wanting when she left the shop to have justified a conviction. One can hardly contem plate the extent of misery that this charge, even to say nothing of conviction, would inflict on a respectable family; and we give pub licity to the circumstance, by way of caution to our fair readers, on the one hand, but more particularly to show that a train of circum stances, however apparently conclusive, are net at all times to be implicitly relied on.—Times. SPAIN.— O ACCIDENT TO MONTES, THE BULL FIGHTER.—A private communication from Cadiz, received at Bayonne on the 11th inst., has the following:—" I cannot close my letter without acquainting you with an incident which has filled Cadiz with wonder and consternation. This afternoon, the cele brated torero, or bull-lighter, Montes, called, par excellence, in this country, •La primera espada de Espana,' that is, ' The first sword of Spain,' was caught by a bull in the circus, and wounded so badly that the doctors, who are always In attendance during these dangerous pastimes, immediately pronouncod his case as desperate, and extreme unction was forthwith administered to him in the am phitheatre. What makes this accident the more deplorable is the fact, that Montes, who, besides the extreme popularity he has ac quired as a torero, is universally esteemed for his sterling private cani n t show. SCARCITY o qualities, retired from the bull-ring two years ago, but was prevailed upon, much against his will, to exhibit his prowess before the French Princes at Parnpeluna, last August ; and now, once more yielding to the enthutsiastic prayers of his admirers, he has, I fear, fallen a victim to his good nature in the eleventh hour. Poor fellow 1 On entering the circus this morning, he said to an acquaintance, •My joints feel rather rusty,' thereby intimating that he was out of train ing. Besides his celebrity as a torero, Montes has likewise distin guished himself as an author, being the author of a popular work upon bull-fighting, termed ' Tauromaquia completa, o sea el arte de torear en plaza, escrita par el celebre Lidiador Francisco Montes. Madrid, 1536." A hundred pronunciamentos might take place, and new constitutions be proclaimed, without creating such a sensation as the death of Monies would cause throughout Spain." DEATH FROIOI A COUP DE SOLElL.—Yesterday, Mr. Higgs, coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, reeeived information that a child, four years and a half old, residing with its parents at Clap ham, was killed by a sun -stroke. The inquest on the body will be new company, the held at the Union Arms, Union-road, Clapham. ARTESIAN WELLS FOR LONDON.—The chalk beds of London are considered to be an unfailing source of supply of puro soft water. The metropolis south of the Thames is at present sup plied from that river, and it need scarcely be said that the quality of that supply is not so pure as might be desired. Speculation thwarted in railways, has, it appears, now been directed to sinking artesian wells for the metropolis, and last evening a meeting of the inhabit ants of the borough of Southwark was held at the Bridge-house Ta• l v, l ls e etli vern, for the purpose of hearing an explanation of the plans of the explanations appeared to afford satisfaction to the auditory, but will nominal ever inal cba:cituail.iioefdwinhitcohis effectno le o s r s tnhoatn time alone woods of Aolig,itsLalfenwoudßayEsnasg._o.

He was at the Croydon station at the works now going forward, a few yards from the platform, and endeavoured to get across the rails, as a the engine struck the deceased with special engine was nearing the spot. Several persons called to him, but he heeded them not. In a second afterwards, the front part of could about twenty feet forward on the line, and before any person .o____ reach him, or render any aid, the engine again knocked f hig d u in w n a and passed over him, when the unfortunate man was He Was taken frightfull3 mutilated state, and perfectly insensible. . __ _ ii to the hospitetl, whore he was found quite dead, LutYll4 expired v the way, frightful violence, forcing him COURT CIRCULAR.

The following has been posted at Lloyd's : Colonial-office, Downing-street, June 16, 1846 A LIGHTHOUSE AT BERMUDA. A lighthouse has been erected on the southern part of Bermuda in lat. 30 deg. 14 min. N. and lon. 64 deg. 50 min. W. of G reenw i c h , on which a revolving light was exhibited the first of this month, and it will be continued every night from sunset to sunrise. It is elevated 365 feet above the level of the sea, and in clear weather may be seen from the deck of a frigate seven or eight leagues. It is higher than the adjoining land, and in day time will appear like a sail; it is visible all round the island with the exception of an arc of 10 deg. S. 64 deg. W. and S. 74 degrees W. by compass, and within this arc it will be inter cepted by high land. Bermuda is always approached with more safety from the southward; and in running for it at night, or in thick weather, care should be taken not to get to the northward of 32 deg. 8 min. lat. before seeing the light of the land. In coming from the S.E., the light should not be brought to the southward of W. by S., or approached nearer than six or seven miles daring the night; coming from the westward it should not be approached nearer than ten or twelve miles, until it bears to the northward of N.E. by E. With the light between N.E. and W. the coast is free from danger, and may be safely approached within three miles. Any vessel getting sight of the light from the northward had better haul off immediately, as the reefs extend all round from the S.W. to the N. and N.E. from fifteen to sixteen miles. The light will show a bright flash, continuing for six or eight seconds, and repeated once a minute, between the flashes. The light will be seen about ten miles distant. By order of the Commissioner of Lighthouses, (Signed) ''TOWE W. SEOM. Hamilton, Bermuda, May sth, 1846. THE SALT TRADE. Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at St. Übes, dated June 6, 1846: . " I have to report that the rest of the salt appointed to the loading of foreign vessels has just been distributed to those now here. The large number that have unexpectedly crowded to this port, of which there is no example, have totally ex hausted the stock appropriated to them; the Salt Board has, however, made inquiry to ascertain the exact quantity that exists in the pans, and there is every probability that they may hays to spare to foreign ships from 12,000 to 14,000 tons; but if they continue to come in crowds, this quantity cannot last until the new batch is ready, which is seldom fit for shipment before the middle or end of July. The price fixed and agreed by the owners of the pans, and the mer chants, many years since, still continues unaltered at 1 dol. 500 1. my., weighing about 14 cwt." The agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, under d a t e th e 4t h June inst., refers to the prompt assistance rendered to him by the Commanders and officers of her Majesty's fleet in the Mediterranean at all times when their aid has been re quested, in cases of British vessels being in distress in those waters. NOTICE TO MARINERS. BANKS' STRAITS. The following has been posted at Lloyd's:— Post-office, Hobart-town, Nov. 26, 1845. A light is now, and will continue burning, from sunset to sunrise, on Swan Island (Banks' Straits), 104 feet above high-water mark. The supporting column is 74 feet 6 inches in height, the upper part coloured red, the lower part white. Its diameter is 24 feet 6 inches at the base, and 17 feet 6 inches at the summit. The lantern is 10 feet high, haring a revolving light, which shows a bright flash of 2i seconds' continuance at intervals of a minute. It has been seen on either side from a distance of 25 miles. The following magnetic bearings were taken from the Light :—Peak of Cape Barren, N. 18 deg. 47 min. E. ; Look out Rock (Clarke's Island), N. 19 deg. 45 min. W. ; Reef, N. Westward of Swan Island, N. 46 deg. W.; Black Reef, S. 52 deg. E. _ _ _ It is ;180 expected that the light now preparing on Goose Island will be ready for exhibiting on the Ist of February, 1846. Goose Island is the Western of the Chappell Islands. The column, which stands on the southern point of the island is in every respect similar to that which has been erected on Swan Island. The light will be a fixed light. The following magnetic bearings were taken from the Light-house, south-west extreme of Hammock, or Prime Seal Island :—N. 23 deg. W. ; Reef off ditto, N. 20 deg.

On the whole the demand for that article was firm at, in most instances, Monday's advanced currencies. In Foreign Wheat very little business was transacted, yet the holders were firm, and would not sell except at extreme figures. Bonded Grain was a mere drug, almost nominal in value. The sale for Barley was tolerably firm, arid previous rates were well supported ; but Malt commanded very little attention. Oats moved off firmly at rather more money, while Beans and Peas were held at extreme rates. ARRIVALS. English • • •... Irish ........ Foreign —••— Wheat. 850 qrs. Barley.

MINCIIISTER, TUESDAY, JUNE 16.—The market to-day presented no new feature. The continued delay in the pass ing of the Corn Bill, and the near approach of Midsummer, when business is partially suspended for the purpose of stock-taking, both tend to limit business; and transactions, whether in goods or yarn, have been only to a moderate ex tent. Prices, however, are generally firm. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JUNE 15. We have had a very quiet market to-day, and but few pieces have been sold. In the %.00l market there has been very little doing, with no change in prices. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JUNE 16.—We have had a fair market to-day for the season, and there has ben an abundant show of goods. Amongst the manufacturers of the district about Skelmanthorpe and Clayton West, there is considerable activity to complete American and other foreign orders. LEEDS, TUESDAY, JUNE 16.—Our this day's market pre sented no new features, and no alteration either for better or worse has taken place. - A NOVEL SCENE.—On Monday evening last, great excitement was manifested by the arrival of a party who term them- Bevies .' the London Company," of which previous notice had been given, consisting of Judges, Counsel, Clerk of Arraign, witnesses, &c. Their performance consisted of the trial of " John Barleycorn, alias Strong Drink." After passing the town in flys, preceded by a band, they alighted at the New Rooms, London-street, where the " court" Was opened, and the trial commenced, but its nature being as s o omu p on e rd r es f e e n c s tl e y absurd and ludicrous prevents our making any comments; we w in , however, state, that if " his Lordship," and Messrs . i n , Prudence," &c., as they style' hemselves, were to exercise their talents for carrying out the principles they advocate, rea sonable manner, we think it would be much more to their credit, and more satisfactory to those who coincide in their view.

The subjoined return of the first day's races will be our warrant for giving the lessee credit for having catered bountifully for their patrons. With the Surrey and Mid dlesex Sakes as a foundation, backed up by a race for amateur riders, and two others in heats, no one can have ' raised a complaint on the score of quantity ; there was ' enough, and considering the intense heat of the weather, perhaps more than enough ; and it was well that the cus tomary intervals between the races were observed with a strictness that bas not usually prevailed at minor races. The quality of the sport may be gathered from the details; it was really first rate, but was not of sufficient import ance to attract more than an average attendance. Hampton is not celebrated for exclusiveness on occa sions of this description, but the following names will show, that if there was no crowd, and no great display of " rank, fashion, and beauty," the racing was countenanced by many of the leading men of the turf :—the Earl of Chesterfield, the Earl of Rosslyn, Lord Henry Lennox, Lord Frederick Fitzroy, Lord George Lennox, Lord Burleigh, Lord E. Russell, Lord Brownlow Cecil, Lord Somerton, Lord Glamis, Lord Vivian, Count Bathyany, Sir W. W. Wynn, Sir G. Heathcote, Sir John Gerard, Sir W. M. Stanley, Sir V. Cotton, Hon. F. Villiers, Hon.

The start took place at about a quarter to seven. They all went away well together, and at a very rattling speed. After a few strokes, Yellow showed a slight lead, all the rest being in a cluster. White and Red then made play, and having challenged Yellow, the latter fell into the third place for a moment, and were then displaced by Light Blue, but the whole of the boats continued very near to each other. Yellow, however, was not so easily disposed of, and off the Red House had a dashing spurt with Light Blue, whose No. 3 had snapped his stretcher. A smart race between the first and second boats, won by half a length only ; the third boat a length astern of the second. The match WU well attended. DUTCH PAPERS.
