The Coroner's inquest on the unfortunate soldier Wank; has conclu ded its labours—the jury have dig charged their duty in a manner alike honourable to themselves and beneficial to the community. I t was their constitutional privilege to declare by their ver dict the cause which led to the death of the person respecting whom they were impanelled, and also to express their opinion of the injurious tendency of any practice which, although not illegal per se, might yet lead to injurious and fatal results. They have spoken out manfully and nobly—they have re corded their own deliberate and solemn convictions on tho subject, and have called upon the British people to join heart and hand fur the purpose of removing the stain and disgrace inflicted on them by so vile a practice being sanctioned in their country. The following is a copy of the verdict of the jury, TilE SUN, LONDON, NVEDNIT3D.A.V MORNING, ATT(rST Si ifma, which should be circulated through all parts of the kingdom, to which every man of feeling and hu manity should take every possible means of giving publicity in his own immediate neighbourhood, so that there would not, within a few short days, be a single individual throughout the length and breadth of the land who would not be made acquainted with the finding of a con scientious jury, given under the obligation of an oath, and have afforded to him an opportunity of comply ng with the appeal thereby made, and recording his protest against the atrocious system, and his prayer for its abolition, viz.:— " The jury do say that Frederick John White died on the 11th of July, 1846, from the mortal effects of the severe and cruel flogging which he received on the 15th day of June, in the Cavalry Barracks, Hounslow; that the same flogging was inflicted on him under sentence passed by a district court-martial composed of officers of the Regiment of the 7th Hussars, and duly constituted for the trial of the said Frederick John White, &c. And on returning-the verdict, the jury cannot refrain from expressing their horror and disgust at any law among the statutes or regulations of this realm which permits the revolting punish ment of flogging to be inflicted on British soldiers ; and at the same time the jury would call upon every man in this kingdom to join heart and hand in sending petitions to the British Legislature praying for the abolition of every law And regulation which permits the degrading practice of flogging to remain one moment a slur on the humanity and fair name of the people of this country." The jury manifestly could not have returned a verdict inculpating any of the military authorities. The law itself which sanctions the frightful barbarity is the target against which the weapon must be directed. Everything was done strictly according to rule and to precedent. The court-martial was regularly constituted, although it is certainly rather a curious circumstance that, being'a district court-mar tial, every single member of it belonged to the same regiment as the prisoner himself, and it might as well have been called a regimental court-martial, but for one little point of difference, viz., that by being dignified, with the title of "district," although really " regimental," they were enabled to order the infliction of fifty lashes more than would otherwise have been within their power to adjudge, a privilege of which they availed them selves to the utmost extent, and which the merciful Colonel WHYTE took care should be most punctually inflicted without curtailment or diminution. The un fortunate man pleaded guilty to the charges on which he was arraigned before this court, he attempted not to deny his offence, but he put in a respectful and manly letter, written in a style far beyond that which could have been expected from a private soldier, and which, as well as the letter to his brother, bears the clearest testimony that his education and habits of life belonged to a class far beyond that in which his wretched career was brought to a premature termination. This at tempted extenuation, although we venture to say that it would not have been lost on any of our venerable Judges, was wholly without effect on his judges, who forthwith sentenced him to the very highest punishment within their power, and added to their finding a clause wholly unneces sary, and we believe unusual—one which must have had the effect of preventing any exercise of mercy on the part of the Commander-in-Chief—we mean that part which speaks of the conduct of the unhappy man, in these words :—" And taking into consideration his general had character, particularly towards his superiors, does now sentence him," &c., &c. We know not what may have been the evidence laid before the c'mrt to warrant this addition to their verdict, but it is most undoubtedly at variance with that which was adduced before the Coroner's inquest. Sergeant DARLEY himself, the person who had been assaulted by WHITE, gave his opinion that " he was a man that knew himself very well, and in fact, a superior and respectable man, by no naeans an habi tual drunkard." N ow, if this evidence be correct, and we see no reason to doubt its being so to the fullest extent—indeed, it was corroborated by that of all the other es itnesses who were interrogated on the point, we think it is due to the surviving relatives of the victim—nay, more, we think it due to the characters of the officers who constituted that court martial—that the grounds which led to that clause in their finding should be fully stated and set forth. The letter of poor, unhappy, heart-broken WHITE to his brother, written ten days after the flogging, shows that his mind was more lacerated than his body ; it testifies the existence of that wretched, de sponding, spiritless state which almost every writer has stated to be the result of corporal punishment, leading to the adoption of habits of intoxication and recklessness, the total abandonment of every hope —nay, of every desire for advancement in the service ; it speaks trumpet-tongued against a system which could induce such a state of feeling. The most eloquent and powerful denouncer of the practise could not write with half the effect which is pro duced by the few simple sentences of the lashed soldier speaking unconsciously of the sensa tion his confidential communication to his brother was likely to produce at a future period ; he says, " I am very unwell, and feel disgusted with the service, but you need not tell mother so, for she would only fret." Again: " I had formed a reso lution to commit mischief, but, thank Gon, I have for the present altered my mind. I have not that con fidence in myself I used to have. My star of destiny frowns at me, and everything goes wrong. Your letters give me a consolation generally, but I cannot venture to read them always, for I am very near approaching to LUNACY at times. I am an old man now to what I was, and what a few more years will make me I am afraid to guess Poor creature ! a few short days had indeed produced a fearful change in his feelings and prospects, and the pouring forth of his heart necessarily recorded the gloomy forebodings which he must have felt. The want of interest, that hopelessness of feeling which nothing can for a moment excite or banish, is well expressed in the following :—" I have not seen Lon don yet, nor shall I, unless I change Illy mini. Every one there is lost to me now." Again : " I hope you will keep quiet to mother that I am ill, for her sake. You must excuse my fault:, and forgive my failings, for I cannot help them ;fate wills my proceedings, and I must go with the tide. My paper is short, and I must cut short my tale of woe, and resume my most horrid and wretched duty of a soldier." Poor fellow ! his sufferings, both of mind and body, have been, indeed, most frightful; but few, by their deaths, will have achieved so great a benefit to thousands. It cannot be doubted but that the appeal of the jury will be fully re sponded to; neither can there be a doubt of the happy issue of the agitation and petitions there indicated ; but we sincerely trust that the public will not restrict themselves to its abolition in the army. Let our naval brethren also have the benefit of their exertions—their prayers; and let not the unfortunate JAMES SAYER be forgotten, who now pines in anguish, awaiting the infliction of his sentence of death, death certainly in a milder form—the more humane naval court-martial having merely ordered him to be hanged for striking his sergeant, by which his suffer: ings will be more speedily terminated than if he were sentenced to the lingering and painful, intensely pain ful, death under the still more degrading lash. Government has explicitly divulged its intentions with reference to Irish legislation. Vtre are sincerely rejoiced at this circumstance, as the explanation of the Premier and the Secretary for Ireland will be productive of very considerable advantage to the population of these islands. It will alleviate that hope deferred which maketh the heart sick among our fellow -countrymen across St. George's Channel ; it will allay a thousand anxieties in their regard among the other inhabitants of Great Britain, and it will impart stability to the new Administration on a matter with which the popularity of the Cabinet is most inextricably associated. If one sentiment is at this moment more prevalent than another throughout this empire, it is a sentiment of cordial sympathy is ith Irish sufferings, a sentiment of honest indignation at her protracted misrule, a sentiment of earnest anxiety to co-operate with her leading patriots in the adjustment of her embarrassment s and in the organisation of her social and political ma c hi nery . Th at some concess i ons were requisite in reference to this integral portion of the British dominions has long been manifest. The de claration made by Sir R. PEEL on his accession to office, that Ireland would prove his greatest difficulty, the precipitation of the free - trade measures in con sequence of the potato famine of November and De cember, the pertinacity of the repeal cry, the cala mitous and wholesale ejectments of tenantry, the paroxysms of commercial apathy and commercial .excitement which have alternated with such alarm , ing rapidity in that community—have all demonstrated the existence of more than one inw ster gri.!vance, and have clamoured loudly and imperatively for the arneliors.'ion of Hibernian distress. Anything that ss mild tend to consolidate the vigour of our si•ter island, that would insure the happiness of her chil dren, that would promote mercantile and agricultural activity among her unemployed labourers, and render them satisfied of the sincere good-will and fraternal affection of England, would not merely oonduce to the happiness and prosperity of Ireland, but would stabilitate to an eminent degree the happiness, the prosperity, the security, the tranquillity, and the more extended civilisation of the millions who are bound together in allegiance to the sceptre of VICTORIA. Not only is this comprehensive and liberal reform demanded in justice, not only are we called upon to make such a reparation for wrongs heaped upon a confiding and deluded race ever since the act of legislative union passed by the Imperial Parliament at the commencement of the present century—but our own self-interest, our own aggrandizement, our own peace of mind, plead for the alteration in voices that cannot brook a denial. Never since the revolt of the Roman Plebeians did the ancient fable of the body and its members afford such an analogous application to the government of a country than at this juncture, and in reference to Ireland. What was applied to the illustration of the necessity of unanimity among the various classes in the eternal city might, with a similar appositeness, be applied to the illustration of the necessity for the unanimity among the various divisions of the British dominions, the limbs of the British empire. Without a cordial reciprocity between those limbs, without the most i mpartial regard to the moral and corporeal health of all, the entire constitution cannot avoid falling into a lamentable state of disorganization. The func tions would become deranged, and either an unnatural sluggishness, or an unnatural excitement, be the con sequence. To the source of the vitality and the seat of the presiding sentience of the con stitution—in other words, to the Parliamentary and Government officers we look fur the removal of whatever maladies have already appeared, and for the accurate adjustment of all differences. Ireland still continues to be the great Ministerial difficulty, hut under the guidance of an enlightened policy, and impelled forward by the accordance of popular opinion, we are sanguine that thi3 great diffi culty is now on the eve of being definitely and per manently vanquished. Thanks to Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, we are enabled to form some estimate of the intentions of the present Administration with reference to Ireland. In answer to the inquiries of the Hon. Member for Rochdale, Lord Jowl RUSSELL has revealed the resolutions on this most important subject at which he has arrived, after mature deliberation. Con sidering the miseries which will transpire meanwhile, through the postponement of any Parliamentary measure for the protection of the interests of the Irish tenantry, we are deeply grieved to find that the Premier objects to the intro duction of some temporary measures; but we are re joiced at the delay, considering the yet greater evils which might possibly arise from the precipitate adop tion of any assuaging enactments. " Why fly from ills we hare, To others we know not of?" Nevertheless, fir our solace during this requisite in terval, the Prime Minister has pledged himself to in troduce a Bill relating to the landlord and tenant interests of Ireland "at the very commencement of the next F ession ." And, according to the announce ment of Mr. LABOUCHERE, it was likewise the inten tion of her - MAJESTY'S Ministers to struggle for the adoption of six other Bills, relating to the exclusive privilege of trading, to the rating of property, to ejectments, fisheries, district lunatic asylums, and the encouragement of public baths and washhouses in Ireland. Nothing, of course, can be expected in the miserable remnant (of scarcely three weeks) which yet remains of the eventful session of 1846. With such a programme, however, as the foregoing, we may safely anticipate the arrival of brighter days fur Ireland, and the prevention of all further squabbles among the adherents of her veteran Liberator. The King of the Two SICILIES, accompanied by the Royal Family and a numerous suite, and guarded by a squadron of eleven ships-of war, arrived at Palermo on the morning of the 11th ult., to be present at the fete or St. Rosalie. His MAJESTY, following the ex ample of the POPE, has dissolved the Military Corn mission for the trial of State prisoners. The Assembly of States of Holstein, in their sit ting of the 24th of July, adopted by a majority of 44 to 2 an address to the King of DENMARK protesting against his letter patent of the Bth July on the sub ject of the succession to the Throne. The Govern ment, in opening the States, forbade them to receive Petitions on this subject, and the States also protest against this interference with the right of petition. Letters from Vienna of the 20th of July state that the Austrian Government intends forming a line of railway from Milan through the Tyrol to the Danube, which will be continued across the valleys of the Etch and the Inn, and will terminate at Braunau. This will give the advantage of railway communication to the three principal towns of the Tyrol—Trent, Botzen, and Innspruck. Madrid papers of the 28th ult. have been received. The Eco del Comercio of the preceding day had been seized by the authorities. According to the Herald°, IBRAHIM PACHA was expected to visit Malaga. The Governor of Gibraltar and his suite paid a visit to Ceuta on the 17th. There was a report in Madrid that, in conse quence of the representations of the Portuguese Government, GONZALES BRAVO had been recalled from Lisbon. MADRID BoLSA, JULY 28.—The Three per Cents. 34 33y 8 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 21% for cash; Debt without Interest at 6%. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. They are filled with the details of the preliminary operations of the elections, such as the choosing scru tineers, assessors, &c., which took place on Saturday. The elections took place on Sunday, and, as far as can be hitherto ascertained, the result has been favourable to the Ministry. The Opposition made strenuous efforts to carry the first electoral college in Paris. Their candidate was General LAMORICIERE, whose successes in Algiers have rendered him exceedingly popular. He is about to be connected by marriage with the family of M. TRIERS; and M. ODILLON BARROT published an address to the electors, strongly recommending them to choose General LAMORICIERE. Notwithstanding all the influence thus used notwithstanding the pres tige attached to his name, General L MORICIERE has been defeated by M. CASI MIR PERIER, the Ministerial candidate. In Paris the Ministers have gained one seat from the Op position, and in the country, as far as the results are known, they have been equally successful. M. GRAS DE NEVILLE, the Father of the Chamber, a Legitimist has been ousted at Tarrascon by M. GASFARIN, a Ministerialist. At Nismes, M. RICHARD, a Legitimist, is replaced by General FEUCIIERES, a Ministerialist. Both these are Ministerial gains. The Ministry gains two votes at Toulouse. In the third college of that city a Ministerialist replaces an opposition Deputy without a contest, and the first college the mayor of the town, a Minis terialist, has beat M. JOLY, one of the leaders of the Republican party, who was the former Deputy. At Cherbourg, General MESLIN, a Ministerialist, replaces the old Opposition Deputy, and in the third college of Lille a Ministerialist has gained tie seat, which for merly belonged to the Opposition. The Ministers also gain a vote at Douas and another at Dieppe, while at Orsen, M. SALYANDY, the Minister of Public Instruc- Con , has defeated M DUPONT DE L'EUn . E, the celebrated Opposition leader. The results of 74 elections were known in Paris when the latest accounts left. In these elections the Ministerial gain has been nine seats. Ministerialists have replaced Opposition De puties in ten instances, while in one instance only (at Rouen) has an Opposition candidate ousted the former Ministerial Member. The re-elections have been 36 Ministerialists and 27 Deputies of the Opposition. On Saturday considerable alarm was created in Paris by rumours of the death of the KING. Accord ing to one account his MAJESTY had had a fit of apoplexy ; according to another he had hten fired at and wounded, and the Due D'ADSIALE had been killed at his side. A delay in the publica tion of the Aliniterial evening paper, the er, contributO to licrease the pxcte rnent, as it was c;)ts'.(l-1-cd corifirtm:toiy of the, truth of tl.e rumours A length, however, it np ikared, containel the following- telegraphic dis patch, for the arrival if which it had probably been delayed :—" A telegraphic dispatch from Eu, dated this day, half-past two o':lock . , announces that the RING was in perfect health. flis MAJESTY expected the visit of the Prince Royal cf BAVARIA at three o'clock." A similar rumour was current on the same day at Rouen. It is generally considered that these rumours, which producKl most disastrous effects On the markets, originated in persons connected with the Bourse, who had some S-.ockjobbing purposes to serve by their propagation. The Chancellor of Frsnce has convened the Cham ber of Peers for Friday, the ith August, to take the necessary prAiminary steps to forming itself into a Court for the trial of HENRY.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (Frcm Tile Sun of last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yez,terday was active, the principal sales bring to the trade. Sales, about 10,009 blle , .—Sliar,s were steady. S serious have been die losses sustained by the market gardeners and florists by the late storm, that, without some extraneous a id, hundreds of Indust! kus, and in their pro fession, able men, must be consigned to ruin. Not only have a large number of the parties so situated lost glass, but their valuable plants hare, in the great majority- of in stances, been entirely destroyed. A number of influential persons in the southern parts of London (where the storm proved most disastrous) have taken the subject up, and a meeting has been convened to consider the best course to be pursued to relieve the sufferers, which is appointed to be held this evening at the Swan Hotel, at Stockwell. There has been some attention directed in the Bankers' Maga ne to the convenience of bankers' drafts as substitutes for Post-oilice orders. Jealous, and not, perhaps, without reason, of the extraordinary increase in the amount of Post-office orders granted, the private bankers have been, in some cases, turn ing their attention to the matter with a view to ascertain if they cannot participate in the profits. At best, however, the public could never by such means possess tL e same faci lities as under the almost universal system brought to bear under the peculiar agency of the Post-office. For particular localities, however, and for amounts above those which the Post-office will grant in one order, no doubt the provincial bankers can make themselves very useful, and perhaps at the same time enhance their their own profits a little. It is suggested that a party wishing to • send 111. 2s. 6d. from Derby to Beccles, might be accommodated in the subjoined form, which could be used as a re4ttance by the Beccles ha 'k to Glyn and Co., who would flOkip the draught : " No. "Derby, July IS, 18-15.

The charge of 5 / 8 per cent. for the letter, and for cashing, the credit would, it is said, be sufficient remuneration to the banker, and to their customers no charge need be made. In our paper of Monday there appeared a full report of the first meeting of the shareholders of the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction Company, to which we would direct the attention of our readers. This amalgamated line gives rail way accommodation to a most important district of country, and shortening as it does the distance between Manchester and Newcastle by opening a direct communica tion between them, it will, undoubtedly, become a line of the utmost commercial importance, for every one is now fully alive to the fact that, in all commercial transactions, a saving of time is a saving of money. The Stock Market, although rather dull, continues very firm, and the only security which at present exhibits any weakness is Exchequer-bills, the premium being down to lls. and is. Money is in some request, but the main cause of the decline is the better rate of interest obtainable from other in ve-tments. Consols for present transfer have realised 95% to 96. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98 to lA, and the Three per Cents. 96% to 1 / 2 . Bank Stock is 20814. The Foreign Bonds are very dull, but Spanish Three per Cents. are up to 36%.

COPENHAGEN, JULY 15 —The Berlin Gazette of to day contains menacing language respecting the move ments in the duchies occasioned by the King's letters patent of the Bth of this month, at the head of which it conceives the party of the lawyers is placed. The address of Neumuaster is reproached f , r the most bitter and unbecoming opposition to what the " Sovrign" has in his letter patent designated as justice and truth. The Danish papers will not enter into a further dis cussion of this movement; only so much appears clear to it that the Coryphcei of this agitation are paying a des perate game, which may call for serious measures if they do not reflect, when they become better acquainted with the motives of the Royal letters patent. POLISH FRONTIERS, JULY 20.—1 t is again reported that Prince l'askeuit.F.ch retiring from his post in Poland, and Prince Gorschakon is spoken of as his suc cessor. If we will be just, we must maintain that P. ince Paskeuitsch has dene much good to the kingdom com mitted to his government, and that as far as circum stanses allowed him, he governeA in a mild spirit. At the time when Benckendorf police regulations were in force, the latter often complained of the forbearance of the Prince. DRESDEN, JULY 23. —His Majesty has complied with the wish of Prince John, to accept the office of Commander-in-Chief of the Commercial Guards of the kingdom, fully appreciating the reasons he assigns, and acknowledging the service he has rendered to the State. Major-General Mandelstch is appointed, ad interim, to fill this office. BERLIN, JULY 28.—The letters patent of his Majesty the King of Denmark makes a great sensation here. The proceedings of the Agnates in particular are looked at with great interest. We leara that one of them, when he was at Berlin, commissioned a learned lawyer to draw up a memorial. But it is believed here that the three great European Powers will leave the initiatives, in this affair entirely to the King of Denmark. OLDENBURG, JULY 28.—We are able to announce as a fact, that in one of the sittings of the Germanic Diet last week, his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Oldenburg caused his representative in that assembly to enter on the journal a pretext to guard his interest against the partial representative of the Holstein succes• stop, contained in the letters patent of the King of Den mark. BERLIN, JULY 23.—The political prisoners here con tinue to enjoy the mildest treatment, and are permitted to correspond with their relations, of course under some control. Carriages with Polish ladies often come to Fort Winiari to visit their relations, which they likewise do at Sonnenberg. In the prison called the Cassioniere St. Adalbws there were lately twenty prisoners, who on several occasions have made a considerable noise, which prevented the neighbours from getting their sleep ; it has been deemed necessary to have them conveytd to Wimiari. OsNAßuttcH, JULY 26.—Several alterations which have been ordered in the Palace, has given rise to a report that it will shortly be occupied by the Prince of c;oloms, his Majesty's stepson, who is President of the Council of State.— Hamburg, papers, July 31.

At the instance of the National Temperance Society, about 250 delegates from different parts of Great Britain and America assembled to-day in the City of London Literary Institution, Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of ascertaining the state of the temperance cause in a ll parts of the globe, to receive suggestions as to the mot the temperance reforma etiffoene,tuan methodto effect ofhe ex formation al d of a Temperance Union throughout the world. The sittin g i n t h e niornin;.l- was occupied with the preliminary a rrange ments for the t tending regulation of the proceedings. Several interesting state ments were also made respecting the progress of the movement in America, E linburgh, and other places. The afternoon sitting was taken up with the reading of a paper by a gentleman from America, in which a variety of facts were enumerated against the usage of I4p rituous liquors. A long and somewhat disorderly discussion ensued, after which the meet rig- adjourned. Sir Robert Peel leaves town in the course of this week for his seat, Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.— It is now the general opinion that Parliament will be prorogued an Tues day, the 25th instant, or Thursday, the 27th, but, of course, the precise day cannot at present be known. THE BATHS AND WASHHOUSES IN THE HAMPSTEAD ZOAD.—The " North-West District Baths and Wash houses for the Labouring Classes," which have lately been erected at the base of the Reservoir, in the Hampstead road, were on Monday opened to the public. They were opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and were full from that time till 9at night, when they were closed. A crowd of men and boys were in waiting the whole of the day at the mess's entrance in George-street, it being found impossible to give them all accommodation as they arrived. Upwards of 600 persons had use of the men's baths. The women's baths and washbouses were also filled, but not to the same extent as the men's baths. The plunging baths would have been in use but for a leakage, which was nut discovered in time to be repaired. They will be in use as soon as they can be re p tired. The baths wore opened yyst erday morning at 5 o'clock, and from that time up to the time our informant left the spot they were crowded. arid a number of persons remained outside, waiting till room should be made for them. The washhouttes were also in full operation. It was necessary on Monday, in order to accommodate the crowds that at tended, to use some of the second-class baths as third-class. MIDDLE now, Homfoßs.—Several correspondents have addressed letters to us on the very bad condition of all the houses of Middle. row, as well as of the two that fell down the night before list. They state that for a considerable period it has been expected that all Middle-row would be pulled down, as it stands much in the way, and that conse quently needful repairs have not been executed. The two houses fell from decay, and the other houses, we are told, are likely soon to follow. Our correspondents complain much of the improvement commissioners for not having befa.a now purchased and removed the whole unsightly row. EAST LONDCN WATERWORKS COMPANY.—The Directors of this Company have given orders to allow water from their pipes to flow for the present through close and confined alleys and courts, for the purpose of cleansing them, between the hours of eleven P.M., and four A.M., arid have, through their secretary, informed the parish authorities of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Norton Folgate, Mile-end Old Town, St. George in the East, Limehouse, Wapping. Mile end New Town, Ratcliffe, Shadwe:l, Poplar, Hackney, Bow, Bromley, Bethna'-green, and Shoreditch, of this arrange ment, stating at the same time Oat the Company's officers have been instructed to afford all practicable facilities in furtherance of the object in view—promoting cleanliness, and assisting to prevent disease. This arrangement has been made without any application having been addressed to the Board on the subject, anti affords an example which we trust will be followed by all the other great metropolitan companies. EASTERN FORFARSIIIRE FARMING 'ASSOCIATION.— The autumn show of this society took place at Glesterlaw on Tuesday last, and was attended by a number of the pro prietors and tenantry of the county. The stock exhibited was numerous and excellent of its respective kinds ; so much so, that the judges experienced considerable difficulty in awarding the premiums. Lord Panmure evinced his usual interest in the proceedings of the society, by presiding at the committee meeting in the morning, and afterwards re maining on the ground till a late hour of the day. ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING CLEANLINESS AMONG TICE Poott.—On Monday the Committee of the above A,so ciation made their first annual report. This establishment is situate in Glass-house-yard, East Smithfield, co.ssisting of free baths and washhouse for the poor. During the past year the bathers were 27,662 ; w ,shers, 35,480 ; ironers, 4,522 ; total, 67,664. For 63,142 bathers and wit,her:+, the cost was 3371. 17e. 90., being less than three halfpence each individual; fOr the 4,522 ironers, 41. 53., being less thaa one farthing a head. The bathing arrangements are utiexcep• tionable as regards privacy and decorum. This is a most gratifying portion of the institution, as the very poorest may now bathe with as much self-respect, and as effectually, as those in more affluent circumstances. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—EarIy on Sunday morning a shocking and fatal occurrence happened on the Eastern Counties Railway, a short distance from Ely. A navigator emp lo y ed on the works of the Peterbor oug h b ranc h imprudently w andered on the line, perfectly h ee dl ess o f a n engine that was ap proaching him. Wh e th er t h e un h a ppy fellow saw it , is a matter of conjecture ; th e eng i ne -d r i v er, however, did a l l he y. could to alarm him. On perceiving him, he ccotinuA sound in; the whistle, and used every effort to stop t he en g ine, but unfortunately, ere it cou ld b e e ff e cted, it passed over Ile un fortunate mr.n, and apparently killed bins on the spot. The body now awaits a Coroner's inquiry. Not the slightest blame is attributable to the officers of the railway. Trespass ing on the lice is most strictly prohibited.

THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. 70n Monday Halevy's comic opera, Lea 111 - ousquetaires de la Being, was produced by the Brussels company. The music is light and agreeable, although not very striking. and is what much of Halevy's music is not—dramatic. The plot is taken from the well-known tale by Alexander Dumas. The opera was well but not enthusiastically received. ST. JAMES'S Mademoiselle Rachel re-appeared here on Monday, for the first time since her recent indisposition, as Roxane, in Rapine's tragedy of Bajazet. This character has always struck us as the most revolting and unnatural that Racine ever drew. The supt rb acting of Rachel, however, over co nes all difficulties, and every other feeling is lost in that of intense admiration of her genius. .The house was crowded. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL. (From Willmer and Sm,th's European Times.) We have given elsewhere a sketchy account of the festivities in Li ver p oo l, consequen t on t h e v i s it o f Prince Albert, The visit, in every vint of view, was oppor tune, and has left b , hind recollections of the most pleas ing and gratifying character. The popular consort of a popular Queen coming to assist in the performance of a work of charity—the foundation of a " Home for the sailor, was an occasion, in a great commercial mart, the best calculated of all others to make royalty respeFted, and to call forth the warm and generous sympathies of an intelligent people. The Prince has many requisites that command respect. He is young, handsome, affable, and possesses a figure that " gives the world assurance of a man " Without being stilted, his manners are dignified and prepossess ing, and in his countenance there, is an expressimn of bonhomie that conciliates esteem. When to high birth and a fine person are added mental attainments of the most refined cast, it is easy to conceive that their poll' sensor rejoices i n ever y accomp li s h ment, natural an d ac quired, that exalts and dignifies our common humanity. The human mind has a natural tendency to think well of those who are placed above us by the accidents of birth or of fortune. When their private characters and public conduct are in unison with the refinements of an elevated civilisation, their appearance in public is sure to command respect and elicit admiration. The feeling at which we have glanced has not exclusive reference to royalty. It has been elicited by American Presidents- - enjoyed by European Sovereigns. Buonaparte and Washington, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, have found out how easy it is to secure the respect and to command the hom age o f a d m i r i ng millions. During the seven or eight years that Prince Albert has bees allied to the British crown, his conduct in pub lic, his character in private, have been marked by floe taste, and the absence of any feelings that could com promise a gentleman or a prince. " Blest in thy genial!, in thy love, too, blest," was said of one every way his inferior, as respects not only birth, but what the world, even in aristocratic England, regards with higher esteem, talent. The Prince is understood to rejoice in mall accomplishments that would make the fortunes of ordi nary poets, painters, and musicians. It is impossible to look upon his expressive, ingenuous, manly features without feeling that he is one of nature's nobility—one who would acquire distinction in any field to which his energies had been devoted. Living in an atmosphere apart from the great world, it is creditable to his sagacity and his practical know' ledge of human nature, that when he does come in con tact with the great mass of mankind, he can " unbend" in a manner which pleases and delights all. The road to popularity for Princes is smooth—for plebians rough, with very awkward turnings ! Court et'quette forbids the introduction of genuine English eloquence in the presence of royalty. During his two days' sojourn in Liverpool, the Prince madc two or three speeches—terse, epigrammatic, and preg nant with sense and meaning. But he heard, in the brief language of British merchants, comprehensive views; he saw, in their bearing, suavity of manners; he witnessed in their conduct, energy of character , that, combined, have raised this country foremost in wealth, in respect, and in prosperity, amongst th! nations of the earth. The res p ect w hi c h t h ey conce ded to him, without any compromise of feeling, or a particle of personal debasement, must have elicited in return , admiration for men who trust their fortunes to the winds of heaven, and with a noble self reliance on the triumph s of science, and the truths of arithmetic, rarely lay thei r heads on their pill ows w i t h out being, more or less, as regards station and wealth, at the mercy of the fickle elements—those el emen t s over wh i ch Britannia is sa l to rule, but which frequently rise into sublime re . bellion, in defiance of her fabled authority, an d toss the labouring barque of British commerce into a thousand atoms. The opening of the Albert Dock, heralded by ssl ol , of artillery, and f o ll owe d b y a detainer, may be expressm in a word—it was the poetry of commerce. The Va c ; tical business of life gave way on the occasion to 000 0 ' those brilliant scenes that once witnessed are ever re . membered—that live in the memory like the realisatil of the magic scen es w hi c h r i se at t h e enchanter's want" awl then sink, like Prospero's power, deeper than 0 01- met ever sounded. The banquet at the Town Hall showed how wealth,' merchants are able to entertain princes sho wed that while commerce is the handmaid of civilsr tion, she brings in her train the refinement s ' the delicacies, the luxuri es o f lif e . All t h at wea l t h tut t most unbounded could su p p l y , a ll t h at taste t h e lilt critical could suggest, all that fanny the most imagis'a Live could realise, was there—spread in profu,ion, an offered without ostentation. It was a banquet fit '- feast kings—worthy of Britain's merchant-princes- , 0 The procession —how s h a ll we d escr ibe what shall we liken it ? We have heard royalty proclaimed at Charin g -cross seen it anointe d in Westminster Abbey. But to our taste there was more genuine feeling in the bluff bear cheers of English artisans, each bearing the emblem of his craft, that fell on the Prince's eST on the morning of Friday last, in that long procession• which would have extended for miles in a direct line--* more soul, more sympathy, than the congratulations. more polite, it may be, certainly not more earnest, which the proudest aristocracy in the world offered to the Mis!ress of the Seas when she ascended the throne of her fathers. Liverpool, during the two days of the royal festival, was pregnant with excitement. The holidays were ge neral—business was suspended, and every one, in the gratification of an amiable feeling,• seemed bent on en joying himself for the tune being. In this land of inter minable labour the misfortune is, that holidays, like angels' visits, are so kw and far between. If the hard worked sons of toil were enabled to appropriate two or three days in the year to the indulgence of rot comingled with the poetry of life, the world lola be better, happier, far—and commerce would Wl O little, if any, deterioration.

AQUATICS. THE AMATEUR CHLIPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. THE SILVER SCULLS CONTEST.—The great contest for the Winktield sculls, the symbol of amateur championship of the Thames, came off on Monday; but, owing to a succession of very heavy showers and the lateness of the tide, was not concluded until nearly dark. According to the conditions of the wager, the gentlemen who aspire to the honorary dis tinctiou row their trial heat on the 3d of August, and the winner contends with the holder on the succeeding 10th. On this occasion, however, the race was decisive in its trial, as Mr. Chapman, who has won them three or four times, ultimately last year expressed his intention of not again con tending for the symbol of amateur superiority. The distance was, as usual, from Westminster to Putney with tide • and notwithstanding the exceedingly unfavourable state Of the weather, was most numerously attended. Mr. Russel ........... 1 I Mr. Fellowes 0 Mr. Whalmsley 0 Mr. Dood CI Mr. T. L. Jenkins, the Hon. Secretary of ,the Thames Re gatta, and himself more than ence the holder of the prize, was the umpire. It was a good start, Mr. Fellowes taking a short lead, followed by Mr. Russel. Mr. Whalinsley, who had not got off so well as his opponents at the first moutent, went to work, and off the Penitentiary they were almost in a lump—so close, indeed, were they, owing to the press o: craft, that three of the combatants came in slight collision. Fellowes and Russell then went in advance, and at a very great pace were scull and scull up to Chelsea. Mr. Russel then gradually went away, and won by about a hundred yards, or nearly so, Mr. Whalmsley having mended his posi tion off Wandsworth. Mr. Allen had intended to enter the lists, but from some reason that did not transpire he did not. HAYMAR KET THEATRE. --QTR, J. M. STEPHENS'S BENEFIT —The sunerintendent of the free-list, Mr. J. M. Stephens, takes his benefit at the Haymarket this evening. The bill of fare is a good one, but even were it leis excellent the friends of Mr. Stephens (and every one who knows him is his friend) would tally round him on this occa sion. If a strict attention to duty, combined with uniform civility and kinl-heartedness, are worthy of the public pa tronage, then will Mr. Stephens have a bumper house. Mr. Rice, the celebrated " Jim Crow," has been deprived of speech and the use of his limbs, by a stroke of para lysis. —Devonport Telegraph. THE LATE THUNDER-STAIM.—OR Saturday after noon, during the violent thunder•storm, a lad named Mus kett, a lighterman's apprentice, was employed on a barge in the Commercial Dock, Rotherhithe. He was walking along the gunwale with a quantity of steel bars on his shoulders, when the electric fluid first struck the warehouse opposite and then the lad, who was forced into the hold of the barge, while the steel bars fell into the dock. Immediate assistance was rent ered, but the lad was quite dead. The warehouse sustained considerable damage by the lightning. SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—AS Charles Maxfield, Esq., re. siding in Park-street, Regent's Park, was passing through Munster-street, on Monday afternoon, he trod on a cellar trap that had not been properly secured. Being a heavy man, he was thrown to the ground, and suffered a compound frac ture of the right thigh. During the season the gamekeeper at Duff House has shot upwards of 2,900 rabbits, which, by order of the Right Hon. the Earl of Fife, were distributed among the poor and working classes in Banff and its neighbourhood.

We are told that a meeting was re cently held, at which resolutions were passed expressive of hostility to any incumbent who should use this confer lion of faith in the performance of public worship. The living is said to be a peculiar of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and consequently exempt from the superintendence of the bishop of the diocese. The circumstance of its being attached to so distant a jurisdiction can alone explain the most incredible report that the Athanasian Creed has not been used in the parish for the last thirty or forty years.— Inohner's Exeter Gazette.
