The quantity of free Fo reign Wheat on the market was, comparatively speak ing, small. That article moved off readily, at 2s to 3s per quarter more money. In Bonded Wheats, rather a large s.peculative business was transacted, at a rise in the prices of this day se'nnight, of from 4s to bs per quarter. Floating cargoes were 35 to 4s per quarter higher, with a good demand, from the out ports. Scarcely a single sample of home-grown Barley WAV 911 sitla i while the supply of foreign was only moderate. The demand for all kinds of Barley was firm, and the quotations improved quite Is. per quarter. The show of Malt being by no means adequate to the wants of the buyers, the Malt trade was brisk, at an advance in the currencies of 3s to 4s per quarter. Parcels for delivery was held at a similar improvement. We were rather scantily supplied with Oats, which moved off readily, at a further rise in value of is per quarter. The supply of those home-grown was small in the extreme. All kinds of Beans moved off freely, and, in some instances, the prices were is per quarter higher. The sale for Peas was bisk, at 2s per quarter more money. Indian Corn and Meal advanced is to 2s per quarter, and Is. per barrel. The Flour trade was brisk, and the best town made parcels rose to 55s per 2801bs. ing from him a watch, value 61. and two sovereigns his goods and moneys. Mr. Huddlestone was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that on the 18th of , August, he met the prisoner, who stated that there were two policemen after 'him upon a charge of smuggling, that 104. reward had been offered for him, but that he could settle it for him if he would give him 101. The prisoner then took the prosecutor's watch from him, and two sovereigns. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to ten years' transportation. Richard Hardy, 22, a respectable looking young man, a weigher in the London Docks, pleaded guilty to an in dictment charging him with stealing thirteen ounces weight of cigars, the property of the London Dock Company, from their docks, and was sentenced to three months' imprison ment and hard labour. James Johnson, 26, a labourer, was convicted of stealing 47 dollars, and other pieces of foreign coin, the moneys of Johann Hefting, and sentenced to twelve months' imprison ment and hard labour. George Adams, John Arundell, and Win. Robins were con victed of stealing a purse, value 6d., and 16e., the property of Jane Price, from her person. Adams and Robins, having been twice previously convicted, were sentenced to ten years' transportation, and Arund ell was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. YORK AUGUST MEETING.—FRIDAY (CONCLUDED). THE GREAT YORKSHIRE STAKES.—(FURTHER PAR TICULARS.)- - Betting at starting-5 to 2on Springy Jack, and 6to 1 agst Queen of the May. Beverlac and Queen of the May got away together, the former with a slight lead, followed by Wiasrna, Queen of the May, Reality, and the Swiss Boy, the favourite lying in the rear, with Distaffina and the Miss Lydia filly. Beverlac retired before he reached the mile post, and Fleur de Seine took up the running, which, with Wiasma, Queen of the May, Swiss Boy, and Reality, in waiting. she car ried on to the gravel road. Springy Jack and Queen of the May then went in front, closely followed by Dis taffina and the Miss Lydia filly. Half way up the dis tance Queen of the May gave place to Distaffina, and the race seemed to lie between her and Springy Jack; Miss Lydia filly, however, came a few strides from home, and to the uproarious delight of the fielders, defeated them in very clever style by a length; Distaffina losing the second money :by a bead only. Queen of the May was a bad fourth, Reality fifth, and Fleur de Seine sixth. Run in 3 min. 33 secs. noon. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

It is rather singular that the winner was altogether omitted in the card of the day, and, so lightly was she thought of by her party, was not backed for a shilling. The results of this race and the Ebor St. Leger have quite revolutionized the St. Leger betting. The weather was very fi ne this afternoon, an d th e a ttendance im mense. The meeting, looking at it without reference to the weather, was the best and most interesting ever held at York. Mr. Meiklam is the new steward in the place of Mr. Fox. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Joshua Shaw, a cabinet-maker, was charged before Mr. Hall with assaulting William Jones, of No. 5, Tottenham place, Tottenham-court-road, and creating a disturbance at his door. It appeared that the defendant occupied a furnished lodg ing in the house of the complainant, who was a fellow •work man in the same shop. The rent fell in arrear to the amount• of 155., and on Thursday last, when Shaw was from home, complainant turned his wife and child out of the house, put a broker into the room, who distrained, and took away a few articles belonging to the tenant; and afterwards the landlord removed his own furniture from the room. The defendant on Sunday having effected an entrance, he (as the complainant stated) assaulted the latter, and created a great disturbance at the door. The defendant complained bitterly of the harsh conduct of the landlord, in turning his wife and child into the streets. He, with his wife and child, had not been able to get a lodging since, but had been walking about the streets every night. On Sunday he went to Tottenham-place for a parcel, which he had given to another lodger in Jones's house, to take care of for him. When he was admitted he met the landlord in the hall, and seeing in his hands his (defendant's) case of ra zors, he said the broker ought to have had them, and he (Shaw) ought to have received a catalogue. Upon this, the complainant told him to go to the broker's, and attempted to push him out. He was much provoked, and committed the assault complained of. Mr. HALL told the complainant that he bad behaved ille gally in forcibly ejecting the defendant's wife, and in remov ing his own goods from the room, He had a legal right to distrain any goods belonging to the tenant, for rent in ar rear, but not to strip the room of the furniture, the use of which was hired to the defendant. The magistrate made some further remarks upon the unnecessary harshness which landlords often showed in the exercise of their right. It was daily complained of in that court; and in this case, as in every other of the kind, whilst he recommended the tenant not to resist the law in any way, he should tell the landlord that he was not to take the law into his own hands, nor could he legally withhold an inventory from the tenant, as was too frequently and dishonestly done. The defendant having promised to give up the key to Jones, and not to molest him in future, was then discharged , much to the satisfaction of a crowded court. During last week the imports of foreign stock into London were as follows: — From whence. Beasts. Sheep. Harlingen ... 161 ... Amsterdam ... 34 ... 715 ... -- Havre .. 62 ...

At South ampton, no stock has arrived from Portugal, but two cargoes of Beasts are expected this week. The Go vernment inspector, Mr. Simonds, having seized 500 foreign Sheep, owing to their being diseased, the supply of stock from abroad in to-day's market was compara tively small, yet the general demand was far from active. The Sheep above referred to have been sent into the Essex marshes. With home-fed Sheep our market was very scantily supplied, the time of year considered; but the show of Beasts was tolerably good, that of Lambs, Calves, and Pigs, moderate. As the number of really prime Beasts' was comparatively small, the demand for that description of stock was firm, at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday last, viz from 4s to 4s 2d per Blbe. The middling and inferior breeds moved off slowly, at barely last week's quotations. The general quality of the Sheep supply was by no means prime. For all breeds the demand was firm, but we have no improvement to notice in prices. The primest old Downs sold readily, at from 4s 10d to 5s per Blbs, and at which a good clearance was effected. There was only a moderate inquiry for Lambs, yet late figures were supported in every instance. The currencies ranged from 4s to 5s per 81bs. The Veal trade was tolerably firm, at fully last quotations. In Pigs scarcely any business was transacted. The bullock drovers from the northern grazing districts consisted of about 1,000 short horns; from the eastern counties, 800 Scots and short horns; from the western and midland ditto, 800 Here fords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; ad from Scotland, 240 Scots. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) John Flood, a notorious thief, was charged before Mr. Bingham with having stolen three clothes brushes, from the shop of Mr. Deprose. Hemmings-row. Robert Deprose, the prosecutor's son, said that on Satur day afternoon, about half-past five, he was serving a customer in the shop, when a person came in and told him that a lad had stolen three brushes from the board outside. Witness ran out and saw the prisoner running towards St. Martin's lane, with the brushes under his arm. He pursued and came up with him just as he was crossing the street. The prisoner threw the brushes away, and tried to make his escape. A. constable at that time came up and took the pri soner into custody. The prisoner, who did not deny the charge, was committed for trial. Joseph Shewarhl, and Mary, his wife, were placed before Mr. :Bingham, charged with being drunk and assaulting a police-constable in the execution of his duty. Police. constable E 102, said .he was on duty in Tottenham court-road, shortly after two o'clock this morning, when he saw the female prisoner rolling herself in the mud on the pavement. The male prisoner was trying to lift her up, but in consequence of being in such a state of intoxication, he failed in the attempt. Witness then went and assisted the woman to get up. The man then came and accused him with taking liberties with his wife, and, without saying another word, struck and kicked witness several times. He was pro ceeding to further violence when another constable came to the assistance of witness, and took the man into custody, The prisoners pleaded intoxication as the cause of their present disgraceful position. Mr. BINGHAM discharged the woman, and committed the man to the House of Correction for ten days for the assault on the constable. MPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Tippoo Saib's tent and several large mar quees were erected upon the lawn opposite to the principal entrance, and most of the residents in the neighbourhood, as well as some of the principal visitors at Cowes and Hyde, were invited. The day was very unfavourable; a thick mist, accom panied with constant showers, confining the company to the interior of the tents, and altogether precluding visits to the gardens or grounds, or any out-of-door amuse ments.

Her Majesty, in the course of the afternoon, danced with his Serene Highness the Fringe of Hesse, and the Earl of Wilton. The three bands during the day performed several pieces of music, in a very superior style, and glees were occasionally sung by a party of sailors from the royal yacht. A magnificent dejeuner was laid out in Tippoo Saib's tent. At about six o'clock a country dance was formed, in which her Majesty danced with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the royal children, and most of those of the nobility and gentry present joining in the dance, and shortly after its termination her Majesty and the Royal party retired, at a little before seven o'clock.

[We would call particular attention to the sub joined petition, which was presented in the House of Commons on the 25th inst., by Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P. The important character of the document laid before Parliament by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Montrose justifies us in hoping that it will receive a very general and attentive perusal.] To THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PAR LIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The petition of the undersigned proprietors of India stock, and other persons interested in the welfare and good government of the British In dian Empire, Sheweth— That the assertions which have been lately made by gentlemen connected with the Administration of India, and others, viz.:— . _ That every opportunity had been afforded to the late Pertaub Sheen, Raja of Savant, of defending himself from the charges upon which he was de throned, is at variance with the official documents which have been laid before your Honourable House. That it appears, by a proclamation which was issued by the Resident of Sattara, under the authority of the Governor of Bombay, Sir James Carnac, on the sth of September, 1839, that the late Raja was dethroned for " having for a series of years held clandestine communi cations contrary to the stipulations contained in the sth article of the treaty concluded between his Highness and the British Government on the 25th September, 1819." That although th 6 evidence, upon which that charge professed tope founded, viz.—" That he had for a series of years carried on clandestine communications with the Governor of Goa and the ex-Raja of Nagpore," had been in possession of the Bombay Government for upwards of two years, the Raja was, for the first time, made ac quainted with tho charge on the 23d of August, 1839, eleven days only before the issue of the above cited pro clamation, and that not one tittle of that evidence was ever communicated to him. That the Raja was also charged with having at tempted to seduce two native officers from their alle giance to the British Government. That as the accusers in this case were the only witnesses it was totally im possible for the Raja to defend himself from this charge without having the depositions which these witnesses originally gave when they made the charge, and the de positions which they afterwards gave in support of the charge, placed in his possession, in order that he might compare one with the other. That the Raja accordingly, after having beard the depositions of only two of these witnesses read to him in the Hindostanee, demanded that copies of them should be furnished to him in the Mahratta, which was his own language. That the Commission which had been ap pointed by the Bombay Government to investigate this charge recorded in their proceedings of the 26th of October, 1836, " that this request was not at the time objected to." That in the proceedings of the Commission of the following day, viz., the 27th October, is this entry : " The Commission were occupied the greater part of this day in preparing Mahratta translations of the evidence regarding the interview at the Palace, for the ultimate use of the Raja of Sattara." That whilst waiting for this evidence, the Raja sent to the Commission a memorandum and certain depositions elucidatory of the characters of some of the witnesses who had deposed against him ; that without any further communication with the Raja, and without having fur nished him with copies of the depositions of the wit• nesses, without which, from the nature of the charge, it was absolutely impossible for him to have made a de fence, the Commission, on the 6th November, 1836, re ported to the Government, " that having received his Highness's explanations and defence, and examined the witnesses, they considered the charge against him proven." That on the 18th of March, 1837, the Raja complained to the Resident Colonel Lod wick that the Commission " had one day promised, and the next day refused him copies of these depositions ;" and on the 23d of May he reiterated this complaint to the Governor of Bombay, and on the 21st of June of the same year the Raja, in a conference with Colonel Ovens, again requested to have " what he had begged for at the time, a copy of the evi dence against him, that he might consider and answer it. That the Commission had gone without seeing him, and he had had no opportunity of entering into further ex planation then, but be hoped now he should be permitted to do so, and then ho would be content whatever might be the decision." That in reporting upon this request to the Bombay Government on the 23d of June, 1837, Colonel Ovens expressed himself thus :—" As regards this, I beg respectfully to state that the proceedings of the Commission being strictly secret, it did not consider itself authorised to grant a copy of any part of these proceedings to any person whatsoever." That in support of the assertion—" That every oppor tunity was afforded to the Raja of defending himself," it has been alleged that the deposition of the witnesses had been read over to him ;" but your Honourable House will see from the facts here stated that the Commission which had promised him a copy of these depositions, and which had prepared a copy for that purpose, seven months after wards rejected his earnest applications for a copy upon the ground that the evidence which was said to have been read to him was of a nature so secret, that it could not be communicated even to the accused, and that the Raja in point of fact never saw this evidence until it was published by order of your Honourable House four years after his deposition That much stress having been laid upon the opinions which sundry high authori:ies in India and in this country have expressed of that guilt, your petitioners venture to remark that authorities as high (including Captain Grant, General Briggs, General Robertson, General Lod wick, who were successively residents ut his Court, and Colonel Carpenter, the agent of the Governor- General, in charge of the ex-liaja at Bennres) have re corded their conviction of the litija's innocence of the charges imputed to him ; and your petitioners mould further observe, that if the judges in this country were to charge juries, after having heard only the counsel for the prosecution and the evidence in support of the prose cution, there can be no doubt that juries would be strongly impressed with opinions of the guilt of the accused. But they submit that it is a violation of every principle of justice to assume the guilt of an accused party when, as in the case now under consideration, the only means by which it was possible for that party to defend himself was designedly withheld from him by those who were at once his prosecutors and his judges ! That so far from the Raja having been restored by the British Government in 1818 to his dominions from motives of pure generosity, as has been confidently asserted, it appears from the papers which are upon the table of your Honourable House, that that measure was adopted from motives purely political. Mr. Elphinstone, through whose instrumentality that restoration was effected, having informed the Governor-General, Lord Hastings, that the best means of securing the tranquil lity of the Mahratta country, of arresting the progress of the war which was then raging, and of conciliating the Mahratta people to the arrangements which the British Government was then anxious to form, was the setting up the Raja of Sattara, and your petitioners beg leave, in conformity to this statement, to call the particular at tention of your Honourable House to the opinions ex pressed on that subject by Lord Hastings, Mr. Elphin stone, and his distinguished colleague, Sir Thomas Munro. That, in accordance with the suggestions of those emi nent men, Lord Hastings determined upon the estab lishment of the Raja of Sattara in an independent sove reignty, and on the 25th September, 1810, concluded a treaty with that Prince, by which he ceded the territory to the Raja Pertaub Skean, his heirs and successors, in perpetual sovereignty. That the Raj (Kingdom) of Sattara having recently become vacant by the death of Appa Sahib, the late pre tended Raja, your petitioners have heard with the greatest surprise and concern that the assumed guilt of the Raja Pertaub Shean is advanced as a pretext by the local authorities in India against the admission of the claims of the rightful heir under the treaty of September, 1819. But your petitioners trust and humbly pray your Honourable House, that such member of the Raja's family as fills the character of " h eir " in the terms and acc ording to the true meaning of t he treat y , may be re cognised and admitted as his successor, and that your Honourable House will not p ermit the violation of that treaty by sanctioning any act on the part ofth ,, e h. locttl au thorities in contravention of the ri g hts of such ' scoured and guaranteed as those rights aro by the faith of the British nation. And your petitioners will ever pray. (Signed) J. W. GRAHAM, J. SULLIVAN, A. J. LEWIS, M. LEWIN, CHARLES FORBES, Bart., JOHN POYNDER. F. C.

CHARGE OF MURDER BY POISON.—Mary Spry and Mary Ann Dore, aged 24, two females of most respectable appear ance, were placed in the dock, indicted upon a coroner's in quisition, for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Theresa Dore, the infant child of the younger prisoner. The prisoners have been out on bail. Mr. Bodkin appeared on the part of the Crown, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN, in stating the case to the jury, said if he were not well assured that the two unhappy persons who appeared before them were perfectly safe in their keeping, he should confess that he had a very painful duty to perform, but he believed from what he had seen of the facts of the case, as they appeared upon the depositions, together with other facts which he should give them an opportunity of hearing, that the decision they would arrive at would be one of acquittal. The prisoners were charged with the heinous crime of wilful murder, committed in the worst and most offensive form, namely, by administering poison to a helpless and unoffend ing infant, the child of one of the prisoners, and the grand daughter of the other, for mother and daughter were now before them. It did not, however, appear that there was anything but the most unbounded af fection and attachment shown to the child by both the prisoners. On the face of the depositions there was no evidence whatever that traced the possession of arsenic or any other description of poison to either or both of them, but there were circumstances of a suspicious character which the coroner's jury thought justified them in finding a verdict of wilful murder, with the view, he presumed, of the matter undergoing further investigation. The elder prisoner's hus band was steward to the late Princess Sophia, and the younger prisoner was the wife of a person who was in the service of a highly respectable gentleman, and they lived in Lower Grosvenor-place, Pimlico. The child was four months old, and from its birth had been healthy with the exception of being attacked with the disease called thrush, which had made it ill for some time. The younger prisoner was ac quainted with a Mrs. Murton, who requested her to accom pany her on a short visit to the Isle of Wight, and the day agreed upon for the journey was the 13th of July. On the previous evening, Wednesday, the child was taken unwell and was very restless during the night, and in the morning a medical man was applied to, and he prescribed some liquid medicine and powder. They went by the nine o'clock train to Gosport, and crossed over to Hyde, and on arriving at their destination the child was much worse. It was there shown to a skilful medical man, a Mr. Bloxam, and having also prescribed some medicine, he recommended the mother to proceed back to London with the child. She accordingly returned by the express train on the following morning, Friday, and on arriving in London the child was rapidly sinking. Mr. Driver, a surgeon, was called in, when he found it suffering from vomiting, convulsions, and bloody evacuations, and although medicine was again administered it did not survive. Some suspicion having arisen as to the death of the child, the contents of the stomach were analysed, and three grains of arsenic were discovered. They had since been subject to a test by Dr. Taylor, the eminent chemist of Guy's Hospital, with the view of arriving at a conclusion, and he should consider it his duty on the part of the Crown to call that gentleman before them. Several witnesses, among whom were two of the younger prisoner's sisters, were then called, and their evidence bore out the main facts of the Learned Counsel's statement. Mr. Rogers, lecturer on chemistry, said he had applied the ordinary tests to the contents of the stomach, and had pro duced less than two grains of arsenic in a metallic form. From the appearance of a large black patch in the stomach, he said it was his opinion that the arsenic had been admi nistered two days before death. Dr. Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, who was then called, said he had discovered one grain of arsenic in the stomach, which would make altogether three grains. He was of opi nion that the death of the child was caused alone by the in tersusception of the bowels. He had not discovered an atom of camomile, though that was stated to be a portion of the medicine given to the child. Dr. Taylor having gone through the evidence proceeded to show the inconsistency of the testimony of Mr. Rogers, who said the arsenic had been administered two days, and stated that it was Isis opinion that it had been administered only eight or ten hours before death. Mr. Baron PLArr here stopped the further progress:of the case intimating that there was not the slightest ground for the charge against the prisoners. He expressed himself in very strong language as to the injustice and cruelty of placing a mother and daughter in such a position in a court of justice, and observed that this showed the way in which cases could be got up at coroner's juries for the mere reputation of some medical men. The jury concurred in what his Lordship said, and imme diately acquitted the prisoners, who were at once dicharged, to the evident gratification of nearly all in the court. The Court then adjourned for a quarter of an hour. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman Firms.)

Manchester were thus 60 on, with two wickets to fall. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v. THE BRAMSHILL CLUB, WITH ADAMS AND DAY.—This was the return match between these clubs, and was played last week in Sir John Cope's park. There, however, as in most other places nearing to the metropolitan dis tricts, there was wind enough and rain enough, the one to drive, the other almost sufficient to float, a seventy four fully manned. However, after waiting for some hours, the rain abated, and the fury of 21301 us subsided, so that the match was able to be commenced, but like all others which were accomplished between the 21st of August and the 27th of the same month in the present year, there was no comfort and but " small satisfaction " in its proceedings. By the score, accordingly, it will be seen, that notwithstanding the totals were comparatively trifling, still the "Great Metropolitan Club" was defeated by 66 runs :—Bramshill, Ist innings, 82; 2d innings, 79. Marylebone, Ist innings, 77; 2d innings, 19. Bramshill thus won by 66 runs.

OPENING OF A NEW CHURCH IN SOUTHWARK.-- Yesterday a new church, dedicated to St. Stephen, was opened by licence from the Lord Bishop of Winchester. The new church, which is a neat and convenient struc ture, is situated in Keut-street, one of the most wretched portions of the metropolis. Of the persona r e g ularl y resident in the district the greater part come under the description of very poor, whilst scarcely a single family can be said to occupy a place among the classes of society in easy circumstances. The church has been erected out of a fund opened in 1845, entitled "The Southwark Fund for Schools and Churches," for the purpose of endeavour • ing to supply the spiritual and educational deficiencies of this most extensive and important district. The crowded neighbourhood embraced by the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, comprising a population of upwards of 125,000 souls, was found at that time to have ac• commodation in churches for no more than one in in eight, and educational provision in schools connected with the Church, for no more than one in fifty-five of its entire population. It was then proposed to obtain means for providing additional clergy, schools, and churches in Southwark, and the conti guous parishes. Towards the, accomplishment of the object a sum amounting to nearly 30,0001. was collected, and the work was commenced. Five new districts have been constituted, and two others conventionally assigned in the parishes of Lambeth and Bermondsey, and four r an t t h o e f 2 trnew churches have been erected and opened for the per formance of divine service. Sixteen schools have been established, and others are in process of formation.

MR. FENIMORE COOPER'S NEW A o n f d Andrew 's, ROMANCE THE " BEE HUNTER."—WO welcome Mr. Cooper's return to the prairies and forests, in describing w hi ch and whose inhabitants, the celebrated author of the Last of the Mohicans " shines unrivalled. Though no Natty Leather stocking is to be found in the "Bee Hunter," this new and spirited romance is not inferior to those with 'which Mr. Cooper delighted in its youth the generation which is now in its maturity. Twenty years have done little to damp the ardour with which he painted the physical feats of the Red Man, and the strange adventures which were forced on his civilized rival, when ho disputed with tho other the supremacy of the woods. The " Bee Hunter" abounds in hair-breadth 'scapes by flood and field, and with sketches of the teats, which not only the Red but the White can perform when his faculties are sharpened by a sojourn in the wilderness, and a constant exposure to the attacks of the most subtle and deadly of foes. Besides the interest which arises in this way, some curious light is thrown on the feelings with which the aborigines saw the successful encroachments of the European gradually spoiling them of their birthright. One of the Indian heroes introduced is represented as at the head of one of those vast conspiracies which are well known to have been formed with the view of ex pelling or massacring the pale faces ; and Mr. Cooper's acquaintance with the history and genius of the Ameri can Indians, enables him to handle this portion of his subject in a masterly way. The description of scenery and life in the " oak openings " possess the accustomed charm ; the interest is skilfully concentrated on a few characters.—Manchester Examiner. Count Schimmelpenninck, the Netherlands Mi nister, loft the Blackwall Pier, on Saturday morning by the General Steam Navigation Company's wail warn, ship Cioettu. for Rottfertiain, BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a second time, Lord G. BENTINCK said he did not wish to oppose the Bill ; he simply rose to entreat the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Etchequer to extend the powers sought by the Bill. It related to the introduction of free labourers, the formation of roads, railways, buildings, car rying out a better system of drainage, and other public works. Now he apprehended that he should take fuller powers in order to enable the Government to make advances upon the coming crop, which he appre hended would be of the greatest advantage under the depressed state of those colonies. In support of this re • commendation, he read a recent dispatch of Lord Harris to Earl Grey, stating that estates were being abandoned for the want of capital, that capitalists declined to lend money, and that unless aid was afforded by the State, great destruction of the crops would take place. If a sugar crop were neglected for even six months, his Hon. Friend the Chairman of Ways and Means would bear him out that it was more profitable to prepare new plantations than to clear away the weeds that had injured the old one from neglect. If the cultivation of sugar was neglected, as he feared it would ; if the slaves of Cuba were to revolt, which was not unlikely, the quantity of sugar that would come into this country would be reduced, and its high price, which would be come as great as during the war, would prevent even its consumption in any quantity. Thus the revenue would suffer. He believed, therefore, he was justified in calling upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to save the colonies from impending ruin, and to prevent a re duction' of the revenue upon sugar, by adopting the suggestion he had takea the liberty of throwing out. Pitt and other statesmen had, in a similar emergency, adopted the course he had pointed out, therefore, the principle was not new. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not insensible of what had fallen from the Noble Lord. The object of the Bill was to construct works like those men tioned by the Noble Lord and others, of which the public in the colony were to have the benefit--not to aid in the cultivation of private estates. He was inclined to believe that there were parties in the colony who would lend money on good security for the cultivation of the estates, if the planters might prefer to avail themselves of them. The Government were not disposed to alter the purpose of the Bill. Mr. FORBES inquired what the Government would do if the people of Jamaica could not pay the ordinary taxes? Would they authorise the Government to levy taxes, or continue to support a colony which could not pay its own expenses? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was extremely inconvenient to answer questions which depended upon matters which might or might not occur. Mr. HUME deprecated the interference of the Colo nial-office in the most minor matters of the colonies, instead of leaving them to settle their own affairs. So much were they interfered with that the ws hearts of the colonists were broken, and they cared not to struggle under such circumstances to improve their condition. In proof of this, he cited from the Lucia Gazette the details of a dispute between Colonel Torr ens an d J u dge Ready upon some trifling matter. The jud ge was sus pended. An inquiry took place, the jud ge was re i ns t a t e d, an d E ar l Grey directed that the expen ses s h ou ld b e pa id ou t o f th e re venues of the colony.

FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACClDENT.—Yesterday after noon, while the Ant steamer was on her passage from Dyers'-hall-wharf to the Ivy-bridge -lane-pier, Adelphi, a boy, about twelve or fourteen years of age, who was sitting on the rail in the after part of the vessel, fell overboard. The order to ease the vessel was imme diately given and obeyed, and preparations were being made to lower a rope or fender for the boy to lay hold of (the steamer carrying no boat), when a very active waterman, named Richard Tisdell, who was rowing a fare across the river in his wherry, rowed towards the spot, and attempted to save the boy. He seized his cap, and put his arm down in expectation of grasping him, but did not succeed in his efforts. The deceased's cap, a black cloth one, remains in the possession of Tisdell, and may probably lead to the identity of the body, when it is found.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, AUG. 26.—LAUNCH OF THE BASILISH...— The preparations for the launch of this fine steam-sloop were finished shortly after eleven o'clock, A.m., to-day, and a great number of persons assembled to witness the interesting spectacle. The arrangements were unosten tatious, but complete, and instead of the elevated plat form generally constructed for the accommodation of select parties and the authorities, which prevented the launches being seen to advantage by others, a platform, only elevated about one foot from the ground, was laid, surmounted by a table covered with a flag, on which was placed the wine with which the vessel was to be chris tened, and her success drank by the sponsors and heads of the dockyard departments. Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H., and Lady Gordon Bremer, arrived at the slip at a few mi nutes past eleven, and witnessed the removal of the dog-shores; and when the workmen came to the last shore, her ladyship drank a glass of wine to the success of the Basilisk, and immediately after broke a bottle o f w ine on the bows of the vessel, and the noble vessel glided off the stocks in the finest style ima ginable, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled spectators, the brass band of the Dockyard brigade playing, "Rule Britannia." The Basilisk was brought up at moorings near Charlton pier, and is a remarkably fine vessel in appearance. Captain Blair, Lieutenant Robertson, and Lieutenant Fowler, R.N.; Lieutenant- Colonel Belson, Brigade-Mejor Cuppege, Royal Artil lery and Royal Marines were present on the occasion, and many private families in carriages; and every part of the ceremony went off in the best manner, under the direction of Mr. Lang, master shipwright, and Mr. Chat field and Mr. Peake, assistants. The Dover steam-vessel, formerly ono of the Dover mail steam-packets, being light in draught of water, has been thoroughly refitted at Woolwich, and was com missioned to-day by Mr. Bolton, acting master, for ser vice on the coast of Africa. Announcements have been made that nine stokers are wanted for the Virago steam-sloop, at present in a state of readiness for sea at Sheerness. It is supposed she will be ordered to attend during her Majesty's excur sion to Scotland, but no official notice has as 3et been issued relative to the service for which she is to be got ready. Victoria Stuart, etoriaand the Aiber p t il y o a t c e h n t g t a o ged wo t o o lw n ic a h v , igatethe left this Royal noon for Portsmouth. Captain Lord Adolphus Fitz llirence will come round from Portsmouth to Woolwich in command of the Royal yacht, and she is expected to arrive here about half-past six or seven o'clock on Mon day evening.

The half-yearly ,meeting of this company was held on Friday at the Nine- elms station, Vauxhall. The attend ance of shareholders was so numerous that an adjourn ment from the board- room to the large goods-shed became necessary. - Idr - .. -- (2haplin, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, presided. Mr. TAUNTON, assistant-secretary, read the directors' re port, which was as follows " The directors first request the attention of the proprietors to the half-yearly account of receipts and expenditure-- B. d. The gross income for the half-year ended 30th of June last amounts to .. ... 218,587 36% The working expenses during the same period amounted to ... 118,729 9 7% From which balance there must be de ducted interest on borrowed capital applied to finish lines, 14,570/. 17s. 9d., and 8,000/. carried over to the credit of the new capital, 1845, in respect of the company's subscription thereout towards the Southampton and Dor chester Railway •• ... ... 99,857 13 11 22,570 17 9 Showing a balance applicable to divi dend of .£ - 7 286 16 2 "Out of this balance th e directors recommend the payment of a dividend, at the rate of six per cent, per annum on the Company's Consolidated Stock, subject to income-tax. There will then remain a sum of 1,235/. Os. 2d. to be carried to the credit of the current half-year. "The Metropolitan Extension line and Waterloo station were opened on the 11th ult. Every exertion had bean used in order that these works should be completed at an earlier day, and arrangements had been made in anticipation of the traffic commencing on the 30th of June last; but an unex pected delay was occasioned by the Commissioners of Rail ways withholding their certificate, and although the public opening was thereby only postponed a few days, it was a matter of great concern to the directors, on account of its effect upon the interests of a section of the proprietors. Efforts were in vain made to induce the Commissioners to take a more favourable view of the subject, and nothing, therefore, remained but to submit the bridge, of which the possible insufficiency was suggested, to stronger tests, and to finish more perfectly those parts of the works, the state of which, although substantially complete, had not been deemed, satisfactory. The experiments which followed fully vindi cated the judgment of your engineer, and removed all doubt from the minds of the Commissioners as to the perfect. sta bility of the works, whilst a few days further labour was also sufficient to remove those objections which rested on the real or apparent incompleteness of the line, and the whole being duly certified, was open for public use after ten days' delay. " The coast line between Fareham and the Chichester and Portsmouth Railway at Cosham is ready for use, and an in crease of east and west going traffic must follow the comple tion of the coast communication. " The Hampton Court branch is in a state of forwardness and the traffic will shortly commence. " The extensions to Farnham, Godahning, and Andover are in satisfactory progress, and will, before next summer, be adding to your revenue. " An Act for authorising the amalgamation of the South ampton and Dorchester Company with this proprietary has received the royal assent. It authorises the creation of shares to the extent of 31,3501. in this company to replace shares to that extent given in exchange to some of the Southampton and Dorchester proprietors, and arrangements having, with your sanction, been already agreed upon and in part effected, with reference to all the shares in that com pany not originally subscribed for out of the South-Western capital, nothing beyond matters of form now remain to per• feet the union of the two companies. By one of the pro— visions of this Act Mr. John Mills, heretofore a director , of the Southampton and Dorchester line, has become a director of this company. "The directors congratulate the proprietors that the long pending contests with respect to the Salisbury and Exeter Extension lines have been at length brought to a close. The prudence of continuing in the present session, rather than postponing to a future one, the application for these Bills has been amply proved; inasmuch as the further contest in the House of Lords was limited to five days only, and the Acts have therefore been obtained at a comparatively slight in crease of expense. The proprietors are reminded that no call beyond the deposit on the capital subscribed for these lines can be made before July, 1849; no active measure will, there fore, be taken for the present respecting them. " The application for Parliamentary powers in respect of the Taw Vale and Exeter and Crediton Railways was not attended with success. It was unavoidably heard in Com mittee before the Salisbury and Exeter lines had been sanc tioned, and therefore under circumstances of disadvantage. This company's relations in that district will continue to re ceive the attentive consideration of the board, and there is little cause to doubt, that with the continued confidence of their proprietary, the directors will yet be able to obtain results beneficial to the company and satisfactory to their allies and to the public. "Powers have been acquired for making the several minor extensions and improvements mentioned in the last reports, subject to unimportant modifications. After much opposition from existing steam-packet interests, the company have also been authorised, for 14 years, to purchase and work steam packets between those ports on the southern coast with which the South-Western Railway is connected, and France and the Channel Islands. " In the Windsor district the directors feel that the events of the past halt-year are very satisfactory. Under their original powers the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western Company have, with great rapidity, completed their line be tween Richmond and Datchet, and they are making progress on the loop line by Brentford. The former line has been placed in the hands of this company, and was opened for public traffic on the 22d inst. By original subscription and subsequent purchases this company have become owners of the principal part of the Windsor capital; and as the exist ing agreement does not provide for the terms on which this company shall lease and work a part only of the Windsor Company's lines, and it is expedient, during a temporary ar rangement, to avoid the keeping of the separate accounts of earnings and expenses incident to the ascertaining of a profit rent, the directors of the two companies have agreed (subjeetto the approval of the shareholders) that the completed portion of the Windsor line should be worked by this company, for the present, at a fixed rent of .51. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up capital. This rent may probably be considered high, while the lines are only open in part; but the extent of this company's interest in the Windsor capital, and the convenience which will result from avoiding the expense and trouble incident to fixing a profit rent, induce the directors to recommend the arrangement. With respect, to the proceedings of the Windsor Corn pony in Parliament during the last session, the results, al thongh differing from those which the company sought, are not unsatisfactory. 'rite company were compelled by the Commissioners of Woods, in the session of 1847, to adopt a station, certainly not so convenient for the town of Windsor as would otherwise have been selected; but it was then un derstood that the Commissioners would allow no other to them, or to their competitors. The Windsor Company, there fore, took measures for opposing the Great Western Com pany's proposal to make a Windsor branch ending nearer to the town than the station prescribed last year; but her Ma jesty having graciously consented to an extension of the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western line from Dachet across the Home Park into the town of Windsor, every object of the Windsor Company has thus been attained. The exten sion from Dachet to Windsor will be immediately proceeded with, and will, of course, be included in the lease to this company. "The total amount of capital authorised to be raised on the terms sanctioned by the special meeting of November last, by Acts since passed, is as follows : X. Salisbury and Yeovil Extension Act Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester Railway Act 900,000 (If to purchase that line, 500,0001. additional.) London and South-Western Company's Amendment Act, 1848, including 100,000/. • for the purchase of steam-packets 2,015,000 or 120,000 shares at 161. 13s. 4d. each. "The total amount actually subscribed for is 1,70.1,333/. 6s. Sd., or 102,260 such shares. " The directors propose that the scrip representing the latter amount should be called in, the shares registered, and the interest paid to the registered holders ; and believing that the consolidation of these thirds into shares of 501. each would be beneficial to the proprietors individually, and to the company, the directors recommend that the opportu nity afforded, on the registration of the scripholders, should be made available for effecting this operation. A similar proceeding, with reference to the Thirds of 1847, and the 401. shares of 1845 would be attended with like advantage ; and the directors recommend its adoption, and also the con version of the fully paid-up 501. and .101. shares of 1846 (consolidated tenths) into transferable stock, at such re spective periods as the board may hereafter fix, having regard to the. convenient working out of these various changes in the treasurer's office. " In conformity with the wishes expressed at the last half yearly meeting, the directors have caused copies of the ac counts appended to this report to be circulated among the shareholders, and powers have been obtained from Parlia ment for the appointment of auditors. The selection of two. shareholders to fill this office rests with the proprietors. " The directors are sensible that the returns to the credit of revenue, exhibiting an increase of only 26,155/. upon the corresponding half-year of 1847, will disappoint the expecta tions of the proprietors; but apart from the unparalleled depression in commerce, and the prevalence of distress throughout the country, it must be recollected that of hav the 100 miles now worked by th is company, about one-half e been so recently opened as to 'have afforded no sufficient time for the fair development of their resources; whilst the expenses of working these new lines are as heavy as they will be with a greatly increased traffic. " The directors have only to add an expression of their confid enc e, that, with the returning prosperity of the country and a more settled state of the continent, the which receipts of your underta ki n g will equal the expectations have been in p an rodvii will result the Lo i n u d a on greatter deve l opme nt of traffic. At t he same time the directors have better times en tertained; and, upon the short practical ex perience they have yet .enjoyed, they see no cause to doubt m th i a n t us th h e ss la b rg e e en expenditure ad e y made, and felt called upon, by the diminished rate of earnings, to insti tute still more strict examinations into the workings of every part of the line; and the proprietors may rely, that whilit freely admitting the public right to liberal accommodation, the i n directors tm ent, will a c i, of never tbe fo c r o g m e t p that i the i ts fi rsto constitution,bjec tof tr.? reap a a fair s b re e m e u n i a r b er l a ed tio t n o fnoireeytotuhre just investments. expectatio T n h s th e co o f trust that by watchful attention to these principles, they they ,tB,,,,p,irpl,,lolw 's accounts ha s already ecauses th w at the the A p n ro a l b ir s i t e r t a o c r t s a o r f ul th th e e h i a ai l b f- l y ic." ear pert be received and adapted, had re contributed to the ap peared,rlie c i Is o Aa u li i r dt, c m o tA l l u Ni a n , tiini movingti s. ti present depressed condition of railway property were beyond h ' e mY north of En board of directors. if they found that t r l ,i e h e v u ay nt s rk i d n I .

The company had also 90 miles of new lines which had been barely opened within the last twelve months, and the traffic upon these new lines had not had time to develope itself. The revolutionary disturbances in France had likewise cut off a great deal of passenger traffic which would otherwise have arrived by their steamers. The primary origin of the present commer cial depression might be stated to be the scarcity of food ; l i thence followed general financial pressure and derangement, and this was succeeded by revolutionary movements through out Europe. Lastly , he might mention a continuance of un favourable weather, which had most seriously interfered with their traffic, and with the reaction upon which their district t 0 much dfouded,—(Bear,) Ha admitted that tit 4 Os. s do
