For some days past the marine department of the Board of Trade have been prosecuting an inquiry relative to a fearful case of mortality, involving no less than the frightful number of 274 deaths on board the British ship the Lady Montague, rrcently returned to the port of London, after a voyage of nearly four years' duration. The circum stances connected with this deplorable affair have ex cited considerable attention in the City. The attention of the Board of Trade was first drawn to the melancholy cccurrence, from the circumstance of an unusual amount of money being paid into . the Merchant Seamen's Fund, as " Dead men's Money," by the owner of the Lady Montague, in ac cordance with the Mercantile Marine Act; and upon the ship's log being examined, the fearful amount of mortality was disclosed ; but the only information to be gleaned as to the character of the pestilence was, " that portions of the provisions were unfit for use.'' Inquiries were ordered to be instituted, and the fol lowing is the result. " Office of the Committee of Privy Council of Trade, June 9, 1852. " Sir,--I am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to call your attention to the enclosed summary of deaths on board your vessel the Lady Montague, during her voyage from China to Callao, in 1850, extracted from the log, and to request that you will, if you are able, furnish my Lords with the number of passengers who sailed from China in the . vessc , l ; and also with any informatio❑ you may be able to give with regard to the cause and circumstances of this frightful series of calamities. — "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " T. H. FARRER. " John Vaux, Esq , shipowner, Southampton." "Summary of extract from th e l eg rf the ship Lady Montague, from Crossing Moon, in China, to Callao: — Feb. 17: Lteceived the emigrants on board. 18th to 28th : Number of Chinese died, 7 ; remarks—two Chines e jawed Overboard and were picked up. March 1 to 21: Died, 91 Chinese and two Lascars; remarks—one Chi n e se jumped overboard, and was drowned; several described as being found dead in the morning, having died during the night. April 1 to 13: Died, 51 Chinese, two Lascars, and the second mate of the ship; remarks—during the passage several casks of water were found to be sour, and perfectly unfit for use ; also, the fish sent on board for the use of the emigrants.

At brief intervals ships are advertised to sail for the gold regions, for New York, Quebec, and Sydney. A rush is immediately made for berths, and they are very Boon all taken up. It is worthy of note that all this hap pens not at a period of great national distress, for, with the exception of the hand loom weavers, th e wor ki ng classes of thiountry never more comfortable. Australia is the favourite field of emigration at present. The induce assents held out in that country to artisans and labourers are irresistible. Labour is paid at a rate which, to our idea, appears extravagant, while most of the necessaries of life may be obtained at a cheaper rate tha n i n the parent country. The consequence is, that at brief intervals ships are sailing from our harbour for the land of promise filled with well-behaved and energetic young men, suchasconatitnte the very bones and sinews of any society. No lat er than Saturday last the Montgomery left the Clytaewith er upwardsyoung of 300 adults o n b oar d ; o f these, three-fourths were and unmarried. The Lord Warriston is e early in July; while the b er ths of the Brolsebe to sail yted have been nearly all engaged, and she w ill also depart at an early date. The emigrants who go by these vessels are of the most re spectable class. The agricultural districts furnish about a half; the remainder are engineers, mechanics, and trades tnen of all kinds. In some cases the majority come from the East of Scotland. The emigration to North America is also on the increase, though not to the same extent as to Australia.—Glasgow Constitutional. EMIGRATION. —South St. David-street, Edinburgh, has for some days past presented a very animated appear ance, in consequence of many hundreds of persons having applied to Mr. William Bowie, at the Government Emigra tion-office, for passages to Australia under the Government schetne. On Thursday the number exceeded 500, and yes terday it was little leas, notw ithstanding the day b e i ng un favourable. While suc h is the desire among farm -servants and mechanics to proceed to Australia, we understand that very many of the higher classes have at the same office en gaged passages to these colonies by private ship.—Edinburgh Courant. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Wednesday the Duchess of St. Albans, who was accompanied by Lady Beauclerk and a gentleman, returning from the Royal Botanic Gardens in a carriage, met with an alarming accident; Iletqlrace, who had been to the private view, left the Gardens about half -past twelve o'clock, when, as the carriage was proceed ing across the bridge which passes over the ornamental basin, the coach-box, on which were the coachman and footman, gave way. The footman promptly jumped off on the near side, but the coachman, on the box separating from the vehicle, fell between the horses, which, being un checked, plunged violently. They started off; but before they passed through th e gates the coachman fortunately got extricated. He had apparently received no injury, for he got up directly an d ran after the carriage, followed by the foot -Inan. The horses went at their utmost speed towards Mary lebons Church, where they came in collision with the iron railin gs in front of the portico, two bars of which were ipped asunder. Both th e an i ma l s fell, and it was found afterwards that one of them had its neck broken. The g9tleman, isted an, upon the ca rr i age stopp i ng, got out of it, and her None of the Grace and Lady Beauclerk from the vehicle. riage pole was broken in PartY happily sustained any injury.

There was every hope that the hospital would be 4ened for the reception of patients in the course of the following spring. —Yesterday, i n TRE CRYPT AT GERARD'S-HALL. tbe Court of Common Council, Mr. Barnard brought up the report of the City Lands Committee, on the reterence re speccing the Gerard -hall Crypt.

THE AMERICAN NEWS sOU'D m us : s siss The United S:ates' steam-ship Hermann, Lieutenant United States' navy, common • de i ; te , u ar n ri a vn il otl i" C i o n ' s s;es at six P.M. to-day, after a pas sage of twelve days from New York, and having landed the English and French mails and passengers, proceeded on her voyage to Bremen. The Hermann left New York on the 19th ult., and brings three days' later news than the last Liverpool steamer. She brings 92 pssssngers and a small quantity of specie for Havre. The principal political news of interest by this arrival are the full details of the Whig Na tional Convention, which was in session. At 13sltimore 31 balloting 3 bad been held u:s to the time of the strainer's sailing, but there was appa rently no chance of a choice. The latest telegraphic dispatches come down to two P.M. of the 19th, when the numbers were as follow : General Scott... 134 Fillmore Webster - Oar private correspondence contains thes":fol lowing : " Tne Fillmore men will hold on to their candidate so long as a possible chance offers for his nomination, but as soon as his prospects begin to darken they will very generally go over to Mr. Webster. The friends of Mr. Webster, in order to defeat the nomination of Scott, should they find Mr. Webster's nomination out of the question, will join the Fillmore ranks. There is at pre sent a better prospect of the nomination of either Fill more or Webster then there is of General Scott's, though the latter's friends, counting confidently on help from Tenesso and Kentucky, say that he will - be chosen. The course pursued by Mr. Boils with regard to the private letters from General Scott is looked upon as hurting Scott's prospects considerably. L is rumoured that, should General Scott lose the nomination, when it could. have been secure had there been a more fair representa tion from New York than that allowed, the delegation will strongly protest against the nominations, and as not in any way binding. The Webster men held the balance of power and would ultimately east their strength into the Fillmore scale, in which case Fillmore would be sure to obtain the nomination." An arrival from Honduras brought news that the Island of Rustan, as well as five other islands depen dent on Honduras Bay, had refused to acknowledge British authority, and claimed the protection of the independent State of Honduras, which had been ac corded to them. Everything is represented as being in a state of rebellion, and serious consequences were anticipated. Advices from Belize state that the mahogany crop would be about 12,000 000 feet. The screw steamship City of Glasgow arrived at Philadelphia on the 18th ult. The Europa arrived out on the 19th ult. The transactions on the New York Stock Excange were limited.

Some of the banks were disposed to hold money at higher rates, in consequence of the increase in the exports of gold and the prospect of further shipments. Potashes were in demand. Pearlashes had declined. Cotton market very dull, but no decline. Sales in the past three days 2,700 bales. Coffee in moderate demand. Copper in good demand.

A e;ni , ,ion of the mew elsrming and frightful cha eSt I' QC7,;i,;lf _i:rnuul., le the liver Thaeice, off Northlieet Poin , which hich the Dechrss of Kent, b y liamsgate steamer, the property of the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, Captain William Huai phreys, commander, was run down by the Ravenshonrne, Captain Bacon, the property of the General Steam Na vigation Company, arid- bound to Antwerp with nearly 200 pastougera and full cargo. Toe following particulars of the accident, gathered on the spot at the tints it twit place, may be relied on:—lt appears that the Rasens'ooutrie was steaming down the river with full tide in her favour, immediately in the wake and just on the . starboard side of the Meteor, Grave . seed ateaunboat, and arrived nearly opposite North fn et Poiet shout-.two o'clock. On nearing the Point the Duchess of Keut, Ramsgate steamer, was coming up the river against tide and bagging the southern shore—the tide running very strongly. The Ravensbourne was about three parts over the-river on the Kent shore, and, as she approached Northfleet Point, appeared to take the starboard tack, and as she neared the Duchess of Kent coming up, the latter crossed, apparently with the object passing between the Ravensbonrne and the Meteor, when, in an instant, coasequent on the heavy. way on a large and power ful steamer like the Ravensbourne, and on her having the tide with her and being in full steam, before the Duchess of Kent could crest; her she ran into her bows about twenty feet from her figure head, or just be fore the windlass on the starboard bow. The crash was frightful, nod the Duchess of Kent, after heeling back ward from _the violence of the shock for a moment, was found to have her starboard bow completely stove in, and nearly cat in two. She immediately began to fill and to commence sinking, bows foremost. The scene among the pastengers, a large number of whom were ladies with children, is described as truly frightful. A rush was made en ?name to the after part of the vessel, and women with children were seen clinging to various parts of the sinking ship. The captain of the Ravensbourne, finding that the Duchess of Kent was rapidly sinking, backed, and the rush made by the passengers of the Duchess of Kent to get on board of her was dreadful, and women with -children in their arms became so frantic that they absolutely rushed in their fright to the still slaking part of the'ship; at this moment the Meteor arrived along side, and the passengers and crew on deck were literally dragged on board of her, and on board the Ravensbourne, with one exception. This was a gentleman named Hale, a brewer, of Broadstairs, Isle of Thanet, who, being infirm, could not be reached, and, still remaining on his seat, went down with the vessel, which in a few minutes sunk. bows first, almost perpendicularly, the keel being lifted as she sank 20 or 30 feet oat of the water. The captain of the Duchess of Kent, it is only justice to state, was, with the exception of Mr. Hale, the last to . leave his ill-tated vessel, and his escape was truly miraculous. A rope had been thrown from the Ravens' bourne over the stern of the Duchess of Kent, and fas tened, and as the last portion of the vessel reached the water he seized the rope and was hauled on board. Mr. Hale, although unable from infirmity to assist himself while on board the vessel, most extraordinary to relate, the moment he reached the water struck out and kept afloat until rescued by one of the boats lowered from the Meteor. The scene of consternation which prevailed after the Duchess of Kent had sunk, both on board the Ravensbourne and the Meteor, can b© better imagined than described.- Mothers, fathers, husbands and wives, who had become separated, some being taken on board the Ravensbourne, others on board the Meteor and the Topsz, which bad also arrived at the moment the Duchess of Kent went down, having missed and being unaware of the fate of each other, were to he s een most two frightfulchildren condition, as asleep in running about in the most frantic manner, making i n . quiries as to the safety of their relatives. One lady on board she sta t t h e e d I t e a t t e s o h r e w h a a s d i n a leftmost her the cabin, end was on deck at the moment the vesse l struck, and bad not seen or been able to glean tiny tidings of them. It is also stated that at th e moment of the collision nearly the whole of the passengers ( a b ou t seventy in number) were on deck; but it i s b el i eve d there were some few in the fore cabin, and as t h ere are some g, e bitilr being, feared they may h ave gone d own with in consequence of the immense power of the Ravensbourne, that a t l east twenty feet of the bows of the Duchess of K en t was cu t stillthe vessel, issin the away by the crash. This belief is justified by the fact that from the moment of the collision to the time the Duchess of Kent entirely sank beneath the surface of the water - was. little more than eight or nine minutes. The fore, cabin must have filled immediately. As soon as the consternation created by the catas trophe had in some measure subsided, the boats of the various vessels which had arrived at the spot were sta tioned in the vicinity of the sunken steamer, with a view to pick up any bodies which might float out of the wreck The Ravensbourne and the Meteor, having g the rescued passengers on board, proceeded on to the Terrace pier at Gravesend, where the affrighted passengers were landed and mustered, and, as before stated, it is believed that some few are missing; but from the confusion which still prevailed anything like accurate information could not be obtained. Incidents of the most exciting character took place. As the Duchess of Kent was rapidly sinking, a gentle man was observed rushing up one of the paddle-boxes with a little girl in his arms. The Meteor was then ap proaching to render aid, and so great was his excitement that In toe ci(stre to save the child before the Meteor had reached within ten or twelve yards of the sinking ship, he raised her up with the view of throwing her on to the Meteor, but at the moment the shrieks of the pas sengers on board the approaching vessel restrained him, and thus the child was saved from inevitable destruc-' tion. It is admitted on all hands that the conduct of the captains of the Meteor and the Ravensbourne, as well us the crews of both vessels, was west praiseworthy. Captain. -Humphreys was below at dinner at the moment of the collision, and the vessel was at the time in charge of the mat-, who is stated to be fully competent, being also a river pilot. The Ravensbourne was also at the time of the collision in charge of a river pilot, and having been examined and found to have sustained b u t little injury, after landing the passengers at Gravesend, proceeded on her voyage. The place where the Duchess of Kent lies a wreck, under water, although technically called Northfl eet Point, is midway between Rosherville pier and the ac tual Point, and immediately opposite Northfleet chur c h, and about one-fourth of the width of the river out fro m the e l n i hetnt etid eshore wa at high owigdhtin only aboutde.Last evening, a t 8 o ' clock, whtwo yards, one of the masts of the Duchess of Kent could be seen above water. 1 the rfter his wife would are cabin, and .....___ Although it was stated that there was was annlotoanngyv,ghriecaht amount of luggage on board the Duchess of Rent, w e were informed that much of it was of a vlatliussblll under stood doubts tained cript i o n , and one gentleman stated that the ifptahsseernegaer he had aresaonny proper , y he held in the world on board was a large amount of valuable jewellery,. that some steps will be taken as soon as the tide is cut hod i t e o s g in e t t o h u e t s t h h i e p, lug h g n a t g e e, e a n n si d as asc ertai n whether it will be possible to re cover her.

Captain Humphreys states th at the Duchess of lient was proceeding at an ordinary p ace when she neared that part of the river known as Northfleet Point, R , about 10 minutes past 2 o'clock , at which time sh e we . ; met by the Ravenabourne, belonging to . the General Steam Navigation Company, and commanded by c an , Bacon, bound to Antwerp wit h u p wards of 150 r'• sengers on board.

The latter, by means of a rope attached to the stern of the Meteor, escaped from the ill-fated vessel, which in an instant afterwards went down with a frightful plunge, taking with it Mr. Hale, who, however, rose to the surface, and was picked up by tae boat of the Meteor, by which many others of the rescued pas sengers were conveyed to Gravesend. The escape of the engineers and firemen on board tho Duchess of Kent was most miraculous. Immediately prior to the sho c k, t h ey received an order to " s tand by „ and reverse the engines. It was not until they felt the water rushing in that they made their escape from the engine-room to the deck, and thence on board tbe Rs venshourne. iilrnamieson, superintendent of the Diamond Com pany, was on board the Topaz, a-head of the Ray9l2s bourne; the latter vessel passed, when off Erith, at a good speed, but, being in the middle of the Thames, had the tide against her. She passed at Erith and at NOW Northffeet had made such way that she was considerably a-head. At this point Captain Shoring, of the Topaz, perceived the Duchess of Kent in collision with the Ra veoshourne, and the funnel of the former disappeared almost instantaneously. The Sapphire, belonging to the same company, having her steam up, advanced to render any assistance that might be required. The loss will amount to many thousand pounds. THEE RIOT AT STOCKPORT. We regret to say that, notwithstanding the precautions taken by the magistrates to preserve the peace on ' Wed nesday, a series of disgraceful outrages occurred between eight and twelve o'clock in various parts of the town. An outline of these proceedings was given yes terday. These outrages appear to have been committed by organ:22d bodies of men, judging from the singular way in which they have picked out the hcuses of Irish men and Roman Catholics only. They appear to have been quite unexpected, and the regular civil force of the borough was quite inadequate to prevent them. The house of an Irish pensioner, named William Godier, in Lees-street, Hiligato, was broken open, without the slightest provocation or notice, about half•past eight o'clock, by a mob of young men and boys. The door and windows having been smashed in entering, the as sailants proceeded to destroy the whole of the furniture, and finding that Goodier had been too quick for them, and had effected his escape, they vented their spite upon the man's wife, whom they left almost in a state of in sensibility. The mob next broke into the adjoining house, No. 6, and committed similar devastation, but the family had left previously, :having antici pated that an attack would be made. The authors of this mischief were armed with heavy hammers and axes. About half-past nine o'clock a body of men and boys, armed in a similar manner, went into Watsou's square, on the other side of Hillgate, and attacked the house of en Irishman, but before they had effected en entrance a gentleman came up and asked them the rea son for these proceedings. The reply was, " They are -- red necks" (Papists). On his attempting to re monstrate, they asked him if he was a " -- red neck," because, it he was, they would " settle his hash fur him." Another person asking them what was their object, they answered, " To kill the bugs;" and in reply to a ques tion as to who the men were who committed these out rages, a youth, of about 18 years of age, replied, with a chuckle, " They are woodcutters, and are doing a bit of science." These inquiries, however, had the Eff.ct of stopping the proceedings here, and the mob went off, whilst the gentleman who had put the questions had dis patched a messenger for the police. The mob soon afterwards struck the front door of en Irishman named Calloway, lower down Watson's-square, and broke out four of the panels. Calloway and two of his lodgers were just sitting down to supper, and had given no pro vocation,. No one was at the door, which, together with the window-shutters, had been closed. C a ll owey and one of his lodgers, John Fallen, said they were Ro man Catholics—they knew no other provocation. From here the mob proceeded to 53, Lavender's-brow, Or chard-street. The occupant, an Irish hawker, had anti cipated the visit, and effected a timely flight. The door was broken open, however, and the windows destroyed, and the mob then ectored and smashed all the furniture. Another mob, also composed principally of youths, but armed with staves, went to the house of Andrew Caton, No. 4, Harrison's-yard, Newbridge-lane, about eight o'clock in the same evening. The man is an Irish man and a Roman Catholic. He was sitting at his sup per with his family and several lodgers, when the door was burst open by the mob, who entered and asked for Patrick M'Manus, one of the lodgers.. Caton replied that he was not in; but they would not believe it, and searched the house, but without finding him. On re turning from the upper rooms, one of the mob c oll are d Caton and dragg e d hi m into thef yard, where more than twenty of his dastardly assailants beat him unmercifully with their staves. With his head cut and bleeding be escaped and sought refuge in the house of John William son, private watchman to the cettom mill of Mr. Thor niley, in an adjoining street. The mob followed him into this house, and beat him until the floor and furni ture were sprinkled with his blood. He was then drag ged into the street -again, and would probably have been killed, had not Williamson, after vainly attempting to dissuade them, thrown himself over the poor man's body. The ruffians then departed, and Caton, who is described as a very inoffensive quiet man, was carried into his own house, where his wounds were washed and dressed by his neighbours. He had received a cut on his head three inches in length, and he had many serious bruises, his clothes being completely saturated with blood. Y es t er d ay h e was lying in b e d i n a state of great prostrati on , no surgeon having been called in, because, as his wife said, they had no money to pay for one. It is to be feared that the above are not all the cases of outrage which time and inquiry would bring to light. The tenants of several houses seem to have fled, or taken refuge in those of their neighbours. The win dows and furniture had been demolished, and there was no one left from whom to inquire of the circumstances. The house of a man named Charles Dowd, an Irish Ro man Catholic, in John -street was broken into between 8 and 9 o'clock on, Tuesday night. The windows and all the furniture were completely demolished, and the legs and spindles of tables and chairs were carried away by the mob for weapons. wife says the offence on their part was for having given refuge to a man whom the mob were beating in the streets. These outrages do not appear to hav e b een ent i rely occasione d b y reli gious differences. While some of Caton ' s interceding for hi m at hi s h ome, the assa ilants replied that the Irish m us t b e turne d out, — t h e y were working for less w ages t h an the English, an d w ere ruining tr a de. Th e assa il ants were colliers an d f ac t o ry operatives, but Caton w or k e d i n a grave l- p i t , a nd the charge could not, we were informed, be applicable in his case. ' s neighbours It is a singular fact that during the proceedings on Wednesday night, above described, the police wsre un able- to apprehend a single offender. They were sent for in some cases, and arrived in the neighbourhood where the attacks had been made, but too late to get mere than an indication of the direction in which the offenders had gone. The magistrates were engaged in swearing in special constables during the evening, and had administered the oath to no fewer than .500, who were dispatched before twelve o'clock in patrols of 20 each through different districts of the town. The au thorities also sent for a reinforcement of the military, and a troop of the 2d Dragoon Guards, or Queen's Bays, under the comm a nd o f C aptain Keene, f r om the Manchester Cavalry Barracks, arrived at Stockport about ten minutes before six o ' c l oc k i n the evening . The two companieiaA the 4th Re g i ment , w hi c h had sided in quelling the disturban ces on T uesday night , w ere quer tered at the Rational S c h oo l , Wellingtou-road, on the western side of the town; and in the eastern and central part of the borough the dragoons were billetted in three divisions—at the Red Bull, Commercial, and Peck Horse Inns. These precautions were deemed the more necessary on account of a rumour which bad prevailed in the town during the day to the effect that bodies of Irish Roman Catholics from Manchester, Ashton, Droylesden, Hyde, and other places in the neighbour hood, were coming over in the evening to take ven geance on the Protestants for the destruciion of the cha pels and houses of their countrymen in Stockport on Tuesday night. The magistrates also published the fol lowing notice during the day:— "V. R.—Whereas a disgraceful riot and tumult oc curred in this borough yesterday evening, and various buildings and property of the inhabitants were feloni ously destroyed. Now, we the undersigned .iugtices of the peace, acting in and for the borough of Stockport, do hereby express our firm determination to maintain the public peace and property against the recurrence of such disgrscetul acts; for which purpose we have pro. vided a sufficient force to protect the persons and pro perty of the inhabitants; and we call upon all peaceably disposed persons to assist us in our endeavours; and we earnestly request all persons to confine themselves dar ing the evening and night to their own homes, and to refrain from assembling or appearing in the public streets, hereby cautioning them as to the consequences, the Riot Act having been read.

" The magistrate, in pursuance of the statutes in that case made and provided, direct that all public-houses and beer, houses in the borough of Stockport be closed at the hour of eight o'clock each evening until the ter mination of the present disturbances, of which due notice will be given. " Court-house, Stockport, Jane 30." Notwithstanding the first of the nitiees above quoted, thousands of people assembled in the streets between six and seven o'clock, especially in those parts of the town where the rioting had been most considerable on the previous evening. The majority of these people had evidently come out of curiosity, but some appeared to be there only with a view of renewing the disturbances at the first opportunity which might occur. No such Occasion, however, presented itself in those parts of the town, and before twelve o'clock the street which had ' been most disturbed on Tuesday were again almost cleared.

Attraction has followed upon attraction, keeping pace with the increasing fineness of the weather. Equestrianism is in the ascendant. Mo n s. L ou i s Souillier, and a highly talented troupe of artistes, occupy the Pavilion at the King's-road entrance, which has been newly and tastefully decorated throughout. Amongst several performers of considerable European fame the most noticeable are " the great American phenomenon," Mr. M'Collum; Mdlle. Clementine, most appropriately entitled " Queen of the Arena;" Albert de Bach, " the professor of Haute-Equitation;" Franz de Bach, an extraordinary ascensionist; and Devani, the most marvellous and preternatural contortionist we have ever beheld. There is also a veritable juvenile prodigy, Victor Souillier, who is even now second only, if not equal, to Hernandez, and who bids fair, as he ripens in age, to be the first rider in the world. The stud is a remarkably fine one, and addi tional interest is created by the introduc:ion of that singular biped, the ostrich, in the arena.Accus towed as th e metropo lit an p u bli c i s to exhibitions of this kind, the numerous and respectable spectators who have patronised the Cirque Oriental during this its first week, have been perfectly astonished as well as delighted at the individual feats,e and the collective excellence of the a musements. A visit to Cremorne is altogether in complete without passing an hour in the Cirque Oriental. In no respect has Mr. Simpson more strikingly dis played the taste and enterprise by which ha is distin guished than in adding the attractions of this circus to the almost Countless pleasures of the gardens; and we feel confident that his spi r it an d lib era li ty w ill b e re warded by an increasing and most a mpl e measure o f public appreciation. Certainly no man deserves it better. Last evening a very brilliant pyrotechnic fide was car ried out on the riv e r with the assistance of the Citizen Steam Company's boats, from which showers of rockets were discharged, and vigorously replied to from the Esplanade. The display of artificial meteors was superb, and had Mr. Hind, who presents us with a new Planet at least once a quarter, been star gazing in the neighbourhood, he would have seen four magnificent asteroids hanging for some moments in tho heavens which might have led him to announce an astounding astral discovery. Being, however, but the creation of Chevalier Mortrain, their bright existence was only evanescent. The final discharge from the river side was one of the most terrifically beautiful explosions that the most ardent admirer of pyrotechnics could possibly de siro or conceive, and this portion of the entertainments appeared to afford the utmost satisfaction to the immense multitude assembled. ROYAL ITIARIONETTE THEATRE. Before the Marionettes set forth, as we believe they purpose doing, to " star it" in the provinces, we ear nestly recommend any of our readers, who may not have heard and seen the "Ebony" performers, to pay them a visit. It is the most thoroughly amusing and delectable exhibition in town, and one that, even on the second an 3 third time of attendance, we have found it impossible to contemplate without an utter perturbation of gravity. THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH. It was announced about a fortnight since that some accidental damage had been done to the telegraphic cable between Dablift and Holyhead. It is now stated by the papers that Mr. Spencer and Mr. Reid have ever since been actively engaged on board the City of Dublin Com pany's steam-ship Britannia, Captain Brown, in endea vouring to discover the portion of the cable that had re ceived the injury. Several miles of the coil have been hauled up, but as yet without success. The boisterous weather which has prevailed during the past few days has in no slight degree impeded their efforts to repair the wires. One day last week the ship's boat was drawn completely under the water, two of the crew were washed overboard, and the third, the chief mate, Lamed Davis, was carried under the surface for a con siderable_ distance. By a powerful effort he managed to escape from the boat, which sank under the c able, and is now doubtless buried in the sand. The three men were rescued from their dangerous position by ono her boat belongingto the ship. The part undertaken by Captain W. Beechey, RN., in laying down the s u b roa. rine cable was one requiring the most accurate know ledge of the land marks on both sides, the soundings o f the Channel. the course of the tides, &a. The least faulty steerage from ignorance of the tide s or other causes connected with the navigation of s 0 wid e a Chan nel would have ended in disappointment, and erha the loss of the wire. Captain B eee heY gave dirpectionps for the pilotage of the Prospero, wild() Lieutenant Ald ridge shared with him the labour of keeping the vessels' track constantly fixed by angles and bearings between points and peaks of mountains with which both officers the Irish Sea, and are familiar, from their survey o f t h e vessels might have been swe t without which, considering the very strong spring tides that were running, away, so that the lines would not have reached the shore. p It may be recollected that only Live miles more of the line was used than would cover the distance as the crow flies. BATTY'S HIPFODROME.—Fine weather has wrought a wondrous change in the attendance at this place of popular resort, many families of nobility having patronised it during the last week. Several new feats have been brought for ward, including an exciting and daring steeple chtllbey. ladies. A new ascent on the elevated cords by r il c i: __ tra Ellsler, who now soars in fairy-like style over the o e nr bus at an altitude of seventy feet.

The July Stakes, lir u at its different course f t G i a during its long c-xistence, has undergone several minor changes with respect to the lengths of the courses, be carried, and the forfeits to be paid; ad of which, ncoice how ever, are to o un i m p ortant to require any at my hands. Th e attempt made this year to esta bl is h a han dicap, notwithstanding the large sum of 200 sovereigns being added by the town and Jockey Club, has resulted in a complete failure, the number of twelve ac ceptances being all that could be obtained. The meeting commences on Tuesday next, and extends over Wednesday and Thursday. The principal, and I might almost say the only, at traction of the first day is the July Stakes of 50 sous. each, 30 ft, for two years old; colts Bst 71b; fillies Bst sib; the owner of the second horse to receive back his stakes; New T.Y.C.; 5 furlongs 136 yards, finishing on the rise. Of the twenty-eight nominations to this stake, eight have appeared in public, and the rest are as dark as Erebus. The dark lot, with, perhaps, the ex ception of Vanderdecken and Amazon, have very inferior private reputations; consequently I expect, as Vander decken will not show, that ore must look to the public runners for the winner of this valuable and, to sortie extent, important stake. The field at the present writing it is not very easy to determine, but I anticipate it will consist of Lord John Scott's b colt The Reiver, one of Lord Exeter's fillies, Phrygia, or Vest; Fairstock, Amazon, and perhaps two or three others, including Rataplan. The R2iver's solitary performance does not say much in his favour, for had not Cheddar swerved at the finish, he must have been beaten; but as he was ridden to orders, and they were of the waiting description, there is no saying, if he had come sooner than he did, whether ho would have won easily or no; for my part, I consider him to be several pounds a bet ter horse than Cheddar. Mr. Powney's br filly Ama son, by Touchstone out of Grace Darling, is, without exception, the best bred animal in the race. Her speed is said to be very good ; and, some time since, it was whitpered about that she would carry off the July Stakes to a certainty. Rawl:dap is the only other horse that is likely to start who possesses, in my opinion, any chance whatever of beating the two I have already commented on ; but as it is said that he is not quite the thing, I must rest upon tho other two to pull my judg ment through triumphantly, giving THE REIVER (Whitehouse) the place of honour. On Wednesday, in addition to the usual 100 sous. Sweepstakes, which will, of coarse, be carried off by TA9:OIIRD Or the REIVER, one or the other, in all pro b_ability, walkin g over f or i t—we shall thisVear have the `ability, and possibly th e l ast, attempt at a Summer Hun ch ap. or the twelve acceptances Antigone is already out of the fray • and the field will probably consist of Tophana or Ilex' cock, Poetess, Ilex, Artisan, Bushranger, Waverley, Pea named and Peacock s,eepe.rhaps, Storyteller—the last choice- PEACO CK , best to my fancy_ however, for choice. On Thursday the only stake of a ny • Chesterfield of 30 sous each, 20f importance is the colts Sat 71b, fillies Bst 41b ; the w i t n , n f e or two years old Stakes 91b, and the second 41b extra ; lar„of halfiec.july Bunbury mile, about four furlongs. In all the d the field for this race will number some eight r t i en oo at the least, including Nathan, Dagobert, and, ic Was hoped Grapeshot, but the last-named, I believe, for particalL reasons, which I will not mention, will not go to New market. Dagobert's chance looks as good as any at present, bat I have an idea that one of the dark lot, who are in great force for this stake, will turn up something good ; therefore, I shall defer my opinion till I hear po sitively from head-quarters. —l am, Sir, &c , July 2.

OPENING OF THE BIRMINGHAM WOLVER , HAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY. This most desirable event, so long delayed by the dissensions ti hich for many months past have existed between the London and North-Western and the Shrews bury and Birmingham Companies, took place yesterday. It was not celebrated by any of those formalities and festivities which usually give éclat to proceedings of this description; the line being simply opened for passenger traffic, by the running of trains in the ordinary way on lines orrailway. The first train, which (owing to pre vious disappointment) left Birmingham for Wolverhamp ton at eight o'clock, was but indifferently tenanted; but in it were Mr. Baker, Mr. Norris, Mr. Brucyers, Mr. Morgan, and other gentlemen connected with the Lon don and North-Western and Birmingham and Stour Valley Companies. Captain Fluish had proceeded by an earlier train. An amusing incident occurred during one of the re turn journeys from Wolverhampton. For several years one of the chief modes of conveyance from the mineral district to the Midland metropolis has been a line of eanalmpiadcsktetthse, rn dra ir w th n o b: . ' horses. In the neighbourhood of Dudley Port, the usual Water conveyance, by assist ance of w hi and spur, were . seen to struggle up the canal when railway train, much to the amusement and a rate of twenty miles an flits passengers,2 sprang by at the Biurtur.inThe scene was ludicrous. wb e g ylc a m m d today - i d a n y n t w i c e i r were ti n on o t . The trains out of o verhampton and the c r miningow de d • i lu ie t ts th w o e se re f fi ro nmed Daring the day, not fewer than from 2,000 t0 p 3,000 must have arrived iu Birmingham by the Stour Valley Railway. Nor can it be wondered at, considering the immense population of (he district, and that a person by this route can travel from Birmingham to Wolverhamp ton, a distance cf thirteen miles, for ninepence, in forty minutes. TaE ELECTIONS. TEE CITY ELECTION.—The writ for the election of four members for the City of London was received by the sheriffs at a late hour last evening.

HARVEY. -- Mr. Harvey, " the resident candidate," has, to the great dis appointment of his friends, suddenly withd rawn hi s pretensions to represent the borough. 111-health is stated to be the cause. CITY Or WESTMINSTER,—Last night a numerous and influential meeting of the electors of St. Clement Danes, St. Mary-le-Strand, end the district of the Savoy was held at the Wheatsheaf; Vere•street, Clare-market, for the purpose of meeting Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir John Shelley, the candidates forthe city of Westminster, and hearing from those gentlemen an exposition of their political views and intentions. Mr. Prout presided. Sir De Lacy Evans presented himself, and was received with loud and repeated cheering. The gallant gentleman entered into a review of public affairs since he had been in Parliament, end pointed to taxes repealed, to restric tions removed, and franchises given by the party with which ho had always acted.

The motion was carried amidst applause, after which and a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting broke up. MACCL ESFIELD.—The friends of Mr. John Williams are all "up and doing" to secure his return for this borough at the coming election. Mr. Williams com menced his canvass on Tuesday last, and the success he has met with far exceeded his most sanguine expecta tions, and is such as places his return beyond all doubt. A large meeting of non-electors was held on Wednesday last, at which not less than 10,000 persons were present. A resolution, moved by Mr. Samuel Bentott, and se conded by Mr. John West, was unanimously adopted, pledging the non-electors to use all the means within their power to secure his return. FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—A quarterl y general court of the governors and subscribers to this charity was held yesterday in the board-room of the institution, West minster Bridge-road ; Mr. James Hunt in the chair.

The number of children now in the school is 160.

The necessary arrangements having been completed by the moulders an d l a b ourers , a bout twelve in every direc tion of red hot liquid was let out into a very large ladle, which travels on wheels, and while a number of the work men were conveying the ponderous mass of metal to its in tended destination, one of the wheels suddenly broke, upset weq:Were found to be the upset ting the liquid among the men, and running James Parker, tion over the place, scalding and burning their f eet, ar ms , legs, faces, and various parts of their bodies..
