On the same day there were 29 fresh cures, 64 eases, and 12 deaths. On the morning of the 6th there were only 624 patients on hand. ITALY. SARDINIA AND LOMBARDY.

TUSCANY. In the sitting of the Florence Chambers of the 21 st ult. the Minister CAPPONI, President of the c " 1161 took an opportunity of explaining the Poll eY which the Cabinet intended to follow. He leelared that they would, by every effort, defend Italian nationality, promote the federation of the Italian States, and invite the succour of those p owers that have hitherto shown a similitude of to.t,rests engaged in the Italian cause. The M inistry, he said, is therefore actively occu- Pie d in taking part in the negotiations now 1 0 7nding. H e t h en procee d e d th us :—" If the voice of . this Government, which has for it the authority a ,,lllishaken loyalty towards the other nations b' 4 urope, will be listened to, the federation promoted Fill 3 : uss I affirm it, gentlemen, shall take place ; ricr it be our f au lt if it is not concluded. And tie _ Erie be assistance of those two great states that have already, promised their co-operation will be more ef sifelal and honourable if we also take part in the de l?erations, if our voice be heard while others treat Iwith us. This succour, which we need no longer a '!te, but which the Government accepts in so far s it may b e use f u l an d no t contrary to the dignity of It aly —this succour and friendship of those two great I:wers Was but a few days ago confirmed to U3 . i11 the ost satisfactory way.." The Minister's speech was received with loud ap- P awe. NAPLES. N .We have received dispatches to the 24th ult. from il, a Pes. A shower of projects were thrown before Chambers by deputies whose impatience would n ot even allow them to wait for the Ministers to pro ducei their measures. The reform of the courts of lultice new laws on the National Guard, municipal re form , prison discipline, and a host of other projects, were successively produced. It was fully expected that Sicily would be obliged to return to allegiance, or be given to the second son of FERDINAND. The bombardment of ME ssina was continu e d. O n th e n i g ht o f the 2d six grenades ocvso ' and a bomb of lar g e calibre, were thrown into th r e town and set fire to a warehouse, but did no further harm. Messinese continued to fire on every Nea- Ponten vessel which passed the Faro. The Fernando Was fired on and disabled. VENICE. The Political Circle of Venice issued a proclama tion to the Italians on the 19th ult. : ` The It a l y of the 22d March," it says , " is on the b rink of th e abyss, but is not yet lost. A nation of 9{ million s o f souls cannot perish unless it be by its own Forward, then! Let every man join the standard of i ndependence, and rally round the heart of the penin sula, round Venice, the vigil4nt guardian of Italian °f the an impregnable citadel, against which the rage `4l,,ethe barbarians shall prove unavailable.

Accordingi r to the accounts received from Alexin hiria up to the 18th ult., the cholera still raged, and p o - "' made great havoc, especially amongst the Arab Pulation.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL ARTILLERY BARRACKS, Woori men.—Yesterday, Mr. C. J. Curttar, coroner for West Kent, held an inquest at the Marquis of Angles ea, Woolwich, on the body of George Hop croft, aged twenty years, a gunner of the Royal Artil lery, It appeared from the evidence that en Monday morning last the deceased was leading a horse belonging to om m the field battery, f or i nspection, in the presence of his down canding officer, wh en, b y some accident, he fell , and the horse trod on his chest. The deceased was picked up insensible, and died in a few hours. A ver dict of." Accidental death" was returned. The Chairman of the Excise had interviews yesterday with Earl Granville, at the office of the Board of Trade, and oleo with the Chaucellor of the Exchequer. MONEY and COMMERCIAL CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The CeHon Mar:set at Liverpool y.e.terdey was steady, bit. cuiet. Sa'.c. - .e 4,000 to 5,000 ba'es. Americae realised 34-1. to 513. po.: lb. Railway Shares were in good, demand and firm. The accounts from Paris of the reported indisposition of Austria to accede to the terms proposed by England and Fraece, are considered now to come in a more " questionable" form, and many parties are already prognosticating very serious political difficulties as the result. The assumption of a menacing attitude by France would be likely, perhaps, as stated, to have the effect of inducing dogged resistance by Austria, backed by Germany; but there is at least reason to hope that as the Danish affair, which with the Diet of Frank fort had much more of a national character than the Italian question, has been amicably arranged, the same may be the case with the latter. Under circumstances the anxiety felt is not surprising, and we fear the money market will be sensibly affected by it, for Frenchmen think too little of the consequences to be deterred by considerations of the ruin entailed by war. The state of the Irish Savings Banks, we may hope, is not to be entirely judged of by the unfavourable " ex hibits" of the institutions which have recently sus pended, but there is obviously a want of supervision in the sister isle, whatever there may be in England. Al though we have not an immediate opportunity of enter • ing at length into the question, so tersely explained in the letter of Colonel Thompson, which appeared a day or two since in the columns of The Sun, we may usefully subjoin an extract from the September number of the Bankers' Magazine : "From 1820 to 1824, the deposits increased rapidly, and during the Parliamentary session of the latter year the reduction in the amount allowed to bo deposited was effected. According to the Act then passed the deposits of any one depositor were not after the 20th of November, 1824, to exceed 504 in the first year both in Great Britain and in Ireland, nor 301. in any one year afterwards, nor 2001. in the whole exclusive of interest. " The Three per Cent. and Three-and-a half per Cent. Stocks, standing in the names of the National Debt Commissioners, .to meet the demands of the owners of the above accumulations on 20th November, 1824, amounted to 13,384,3801., being 12,700,0181. stock, ap plicable to the deposits in Great Britain, and 684,334/. applicable to those in Ireland. " After incurring liabilities amounting to nearly twelve millions at the end of seven years, and sacrificing, in the payment of interest to the trustees of savings' banks dur ing that period a sum exceeding 200,0001., averaging more than 30,000/. annually, the Government was bound, in 1824, to introduce some restrictive measure." Notwithstanding this, we should be sorry to find the saving system injured by ill-timed parsimony. The grand object is to see that the proper object is effected, viz , the encouragement of thrifty habits among the poor. The Stock Market has been extremely inert to-day, but takes a lower range by nearly per cent. Thi.:, is not the result of money sales, but of the intelligence from Paris.

The present week's arrival of English ;Wheat, coact wise as well as by land carriage, has I:ren considerably on the increase, but cf very middling qu'tlity. To day the stsn:ls were well filled with samples t;tl both red and -white. Selected parcels were in moderato request, at about Monday's prices. In all other kinds scarcely any business was transacted, at, in seine instance', a slight decline in the quotations—say of is per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effeceil. A considerable quantity of foreign Wheat has come in, the de:nand for which was heavy, at Is per quarter less mlney. Bonded parcels, as well as floating cargoes, were neglected. Grinding and distilling Barley was very dull, and prices were the turn in favour of the buyer:. There was scarcely any inquiry for Malt, and to effct sales quite Is per quarter less money must have been accepted.

This was en action brought to recover the sum of 3/. 15s. for mney paid on bhalf of the defendant. The plaintioff's case was that he had b ecome joint surety to the Phoenix Loan and Discount Society in Newington, with defendant, who is a widow in Dulvvich Hospital, for a loan of 101 . Bs. to defendant's son, who married plaintiff's daughter. The greater portion of the loan had been paid, but on default being made plain tiff was sued, and sought to recover one-half ofowever, the balance and one - half of the costs , the latter, h of which he now abandoned, on the ground that he could not recover for costs, as he ought (having made himself liable for the loan) to have paid without incur ring costs. For the defendant it was contended that the money could not be recovered as money paid on her account, and an objection was taken that there w as a variance b e t we en the writ and the declaration, the first describ ing plaintiff as "John" B rown , and the latter as " Charles " Brown ; but it was contended that the iden tity of the plaintiff would be sufficient. After a long discussion, the Learned SECONDARY held that the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Nonsuit entered accordingly. IMPERIAL PARLIAINIENT. (THIS DAY•) HOUSE OF COMMONS.

THE ELEVEN O 1 ALL ENGLAND v. SIXTEEN OF SIIEFFIELD. Oa Tuesday and Wednesday this great match was re sumed, and, as will b 3 found, oa the latter day was brought to a conclusion by the defeat of the eleven by 55 runs. This result will cause much of the " metropo litan and southern" money to change into the north; for although in Sheffield the odds from the commencement were in favour of their own sixteen, yet in L-Nndon and amongst some of the eleven the odds had been laid the other way. With respect to some of the losers, we have heat d it said that those who are ignorant ot the Sheffield play and the Sheffield strength ought to have applied to wiser quarters for information on the subject than those from which they gained it; and that those who were cognizant of the fact should be somewhat less " sweet" upon their own powers. Tho progress and termination ot the match will show that, powerful as are " the eleven," they ought not in future to allow Sheffield " bixteen" men. The first innings of Sheffield amounted to 118, whilst that of the Eleven did not exceed 58, or 60 fewer than the score of their opponents. Then, in the second, Sheffield marked 77, by which they put in the Eleven for 137 to tie. Of that total, however, they failed by 55, the sum of runs by which they were beaten and vanquished, much to the chagrin of themselves and their backers. EFFECTS OT THE THUNDER STORM.—The awfu thunder storm that passed over the metropolis last night was felt at Kingsland, Stoke Newington, Tottenham, Clapton, and the surrounding neighbourhood with the most fearful effect, and caused the _greatest alarm and consternation to the inhabitants. So jar - in - go were the discharges of the electric fluid, and the concussion of the rapid and continued peals of thunder, that the houses were shook to the foundation, the furniture in the rooms being moved from their position, and the inhabitants ex periencing a rocking and uneasy sensation: in many instances the inhabitants running out of their habita tions in the greatest terror and alarm. At the Beauvoir Arms, kept by Wilson, at Kingsland, the bottles and glasses were displaced from the shelves, and the chairs moved from their position; and at one time Mr. Wilson supposed, from the violence of the concussion and the loud report, that the back part of his premises had bees blown down. The rain, too, f e ll in torrents, and the roads at Kingsland, Stoke Newington, Tottenham, and Shackle well, and the lower parts of Islington, were rendered im passable except for carriages, and presented the appear ance of rivers more than the roadway. A house in the Wharf-road, City-road, was struck by the lightning, and partly set on fire, but it was soon extinguished. All along the Bagnigge Wells-road, nearest the hill was literally swamped, the lower parts of the houses being tia ler water to the depth of some two or three feet. In Pearl -crescent, which is about three or four feet below the level of the road, great damage was done by hasty removal of goods, &e., the inhabitants of houses being obliged to get in the upper apartments for safety. Great injury has been done to the stock of one of the bakers in the road, the water running in with such force into the bakehouse as to upset several sacks of flour. It is greatly feared the destruction will be found to be very great iu the lower parts of Essex, where the storm, as it advanced, appeared to gain strength. So fearful a storm, with such rapid discharges of lightning and thunder, has not been experienced in these neighbour hoods for years past. A PARisit DEFAULTER. —Yesterday large hand bills were posted up on the Surry site of the river, of fering a reward of 201. for the apprehension of Mc. Thomas Woodward, of the Wandsworth road, who has been for many years a collector of the poor-rate for a large district of the parish of Lambeth, and who has ab sconded sinco Wednesday morning. The defalcations of Mr. Woodward are said to be considerable, and its occurrence at a time when the rates are so difficult to be got in, and the money so much required for the mainte nance of the numerous poor in the workhouse, has caused a considerable sensation throught the parish. The affairs of this extensive parish, in so far as the rates are concerned, have been a good deal disarranged. In soma cases the poor rates were allowed to go in arrears for as many as five or six years; but the present defalcation a ill, it is believed, lead to a general change in the parish government. Woodward has given security to the parish to the amount of 2,0001., it is said, but it will be some time before the sureties can be made to pay the amount of their respective bail bond, and in the interim the parish will be put to very great inconvenience. BOLTON.—Mr. William Bolling, M.P., died on Wednesday morning last, between the hours of seven and eight, at his residence Darcy Lever, near Bolton. The lion. Gentleman, who was 64 years of age, had, for a week previous to his death, been labouring under the effects of a severe stroke of paralysis, after a hich affliction no hopes of recovery were entertained by his medical attendants. Mr. Bolling had svrv( d in four Parliaments as representative for Bolton, his native town. Ile was returned in 1832, at the first election after the passing of the Reform Bill, with Colonel Tor rens. In 1835 Mr. Bolling and Mr. Ainsworth were elected, both of whom were re-elected in 1837. At the general election of 1841 Mr. Ainsworth and Dr. Bow ring ring were returned, Mr. Bolling be in g unsuccessful. 1847 Mr. Bolling and Dr. BOA ring were re-elected. In politics the deceased gentleman was a Conservative, aAnld a supporter of Sir R.

GOVERNMENT LOANS TO RAILWAYS.—At • the half yearly meeting, yesterday, of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway Company, the chairman announced that a reply had been reeeisTd from LDrd John Russell to an application for a loan to carry out the works at present in progress, His Lordship's answer was nth vourable, the Noble Lord sating, that in the present position of the Treasury and the coYintry he cou'd not adc Parliament for the sum required; but he added; that when it became necessary', from the sty.° of the cousttry, to call Parliament together to consider whether any fund should be placed at tar: it disposal to be expended upon the . ceuutry, the application made by the directors of that railway would be entevained in conjunction with the applications of other railways. THE LATE COLLISIO.7 , .V. AT SEA. The Belfast Chronicle has the subjoined account of the collision between the Prince of Wales steamer and the sloop Janet : " We greatly regret to have to record the occurrence of a melaneholy acci lent which bofel this beautiful and splendid steamer on her passage from this port to Fleet wood on Friday night last, whereby three lives have been lost, and much property damaged and destroyed. The Prince of Wales left the Queen's Quay on Friday evening shortly after six o'clock, on her voyage to Fleet wood, having a considerable number of cabin passen gers, a large freight of live stock, consisting principally of black cattle, and a good many deck passengers, in cluding several men in charge of the stock. She was proceeding on her way at her usual rapid speed, her lights being all up, a good look out kept forward, and all prudent precautions observed by her vigilant and careful commander, and about one o'clock eat. was abreast the Point of Ayr, the northernmost extremity of the Isle of Mtn, being then well inshore on her regular course to the English coast. The morn ing was very dark, when suddenly a vessel was seen bearing down under all canvas right in the way of the steamer, without any lights up, or any notice taken of those on board the Prince. From the close proximity of the two vessels, and in spite of the exertions of the cap tain and crew of the steamer, who stopped the engines and strove by every means to render themselves heard, without effect, a fearful collision took place, the shop (the Jane, bound, as we understand, from Liverpool to Glasgow, with a cargo of flour and sugar) striking the Prince of Wales on the weather-bow with immense force, carrying away the bulwarks from the bowsprit right aft to within a few feet of the larboard paddlebox, and making a large hole in the bow, extending from the deck nearly to the water edge. 'I he utmost consterna tion and alarm of course prevailed; but, owing to the steadiness and calm gallantry of Captain APNeilage and his crew, confidence was soon restored, and, as the only resource under the circumstances, the ship, which was rapidly filling, was run ashore a little to the southward of the Point of Ayr lighthouse, where she now remain.. All the passengers save three were safely landed. These three, who were cattle-dealers, being asleep below in their berths in the fore-cabin, unhappily perished in the sudden rush of water consequent upon the ship's bows being stove in. The cattle, at least a large proportion of them, swam ashore, and are in all likelihood in safe keeping; and it is hoped that the vessel herself, if the weather continues mcwlerate, may be got off. We are happy► to learn 'that she is amply insured, and that uo want of accommodation is likely to be felt either by shippers of goods or by passengers from this untoward and unfortunate accident. The Fe nella, a very commodious - and handsome steamer, is al ready on the berth, to supply temporarily the Prince's place; and the sallings between thi; and Fleetwood will go on with the same punctuality and 'regularity as here- _ tofore." TOTAL Loss OF THE SHIP WILLIAM PENN.—OH the night of Friday, the 25:h inst., the ship William Penn, of St. John's, New Brunswick, r.nd bound from thence to Greenock with a, cargo of timber, owing to the heavy fog, ran ashore in Dunlough Bay, situate between the Mizen and the Three Castle Ili:ad. The keel and stern were almost immediately carried sway, and several of the balks floated out of her. hopes were still enter tained that she might be towed off by a steamer, till about twelve o'clock on Saturday night, when she became a total wreck. The crew, amounting to 27 in number, saved themselves by man of a ladder, which they rested against the side of the cliff. Very little of the property can be saved, owii:g to the steep cliff.; over hanging that wild bay, and also to the heavy swell which continu illy rolls iu there, and which 'effe.otually prevents any small boats approaching the shore, except in the finest weather. STATE OF THE CORN TRADE. BIR•SIINGuAM, AuG. 30.—At Gloucester market, on THE METROPOLITAN COURT or SE TER z. Yesterday a Court of Sewers was held at the Coie• tnittee-rooal of the Hotise of Commons, which was un derstood to be the last court which will bo - held except for pro forma business, before the new Act authorising a consolidated commission with increased powers, and for an, extended district, will come into operation. Viscount Morpeth took the chair. There were pre- ent, also, the Dean of Westminster, Mr. E. Chadwick, Dr. Southwood Smith, Mr. Bidwell, Mr. R. Hu:ton, the Rev. W. Stone, and other Commissioners. Lord MORPETIi said, that as a Bill had passed both Houses of Parliament for consolidating and extending the Metropolitan Commissions, and enabling them to carry out such measures of sanitary improvement as were submitted to them, with economy and efficiency and increased convenience to the public, he thought it due to observe that the fact of a new Bill having passed without a shadow of opposition was to be considered a tribute to the zeal and ability with :which the present Commissioners had exercised the imper fect powers of the separate commission. They hod been seven months in office. He had rFquested a statement to be made of their proceedings, of which the f , llowing might be taken as a recapitulation of the public infor mat:on :—" The Commissioners at once, and throughout the whole of the districts, stopped the current Expendi ture on works which had b-en proved to be false iu prin ciple and worse than wasteful in money. They speedily put an end to the improper system of mixing up private professional practice with the public service, and re solved that every paid officer should give bis whole time to his public duties, and by consolidating the executive machinery of paid officers for all the districts they in creased the available force at a diminished rate of ex pense. They are, however, sensible of the additional labours they have thrown upon some of these officers, and of the zeal and ability with which they have been performed; and it will be their wish that these cir cumstances should not be permanently left out of consideration. On the very first day that they as sembled, namely, on the 6th of December, they took steps to obtain an authentic and accurate survey of the whole of the metropolis in one uniform plan, to put a stop to the waste which had been incurred by works carried on in separate districts, without regard to any common system of levels. The Commissioners re gret that they have had to expend much time in over coming difficulties in the way of this work, which was not effectively commenced until the beginning of June. Upwards of 250 men are_now engaged in it, and it is going forward with satisfactory speed. The new Act, now about to come into force, will give authority for completing it fully, and for engraving it on such scales as to be applicable to other important purposes, private as well as public. It will then be a valuable aid in all new buildings, it will serve for the identification and va luation of property, and for the equal assessment of rates; for the construction of roads, for the distribution of water and gas, and for other public objects. In the suburban districts it will facilitate land drainage and agricultural improiements. Until this work is completed, the Commissioners will not be able to decide on the practical measure for the introduction of amended drainage works. They are fully sensible of the deplorable condition in which the population of extensive districts arc kept during this delay, anti to expedite the work they have reduced it in the first instance to the minimum required for immediate and pressing purposes, and hate postponed the consideration of all others. The survey of the denser districts is promised in the course of a few. months. " Concurrently with this survey of the surface of the streets and open spaces of the metropolis, they have directed a subterranean exploration of the various sewers and old subterranean draining works, to escertain their extent and condition, and how far they may be available ' for future works. The Commissioners gave their first attention to immediate measures of relief to the worst conditioned places. They introduced a new mode of emptying cesspools, by which the offensiveness of the operation is diminished, the time reduced to one-sixth, and the expense to one-third. The adoption of this pro cess was voluntary, and it was employed to more than 1,000 places with the same favourable results. The • Commissioners have considered and prepared instil:ice itni to fffeocr t by processes voluntary of cleansing associations ciati o w n h s i c a h m n dp ay ri v b a e t e c i a n r d r i i v e i d . : duals. These are now in course of circulation, and they u t s h h e i y ng d ; ire u c l t i e s d ha the are preparing others of th e s am e c ha rac t e r. As one means of cleansingrelief,ebeexentecnasrivreiedout on the sewers by miles of the worst conditioned sewers , an d u p war d s o f o 16 0 3 f 139,000 cube yards, or about 200,500 tons of refuse have been removed at a saving of 33,0004 above former charges. This, however, could only affect the sewers, which comprise one-fourth only of the noxious evapo rating surface of a district, one-fourth being constituted, by the cesspools, and two fourths, or one-half, being the surface cf ill-constructed house drains (ehero there are any). But, in general, even the diminution that has been made in this fourth has been sensibly and bene ficially felt. The Commissioners have not been able fully to effect the operations as they would have wished. The weather has been irregular, and the emanations from deposit throughout the sewers are reported to have been unusually copious, offensive, and injurious. Yielding to the application of parties, lines of ditches have been covered in and sewers have been trapped. But these measures have only shifted the evil upon other places ; applications and plans have been sent in for the ventilation of sewers by ascending shatts. But from the evidence with relation to the effect of chimney shafts in the diffusion of vapours from chymical works, such a mode of relief appears to be so far doubtful as not to justify a recommendation for incurring the expense.‘ The more effectual course will be the preventiun of de posits by proper arrangements of the drains, and the system of sew ers acted upon by appropriate supplies of water. The first and most urgent work is the excels'- tion of such arrangements as to effect the speedy and complete removal of all decomposing refits,' from beneath ,' the houses • ' that is to say, a complete system of house' drainage. To obtain preparatory informatiln as to the nature and extent of the existing house drainage, and the expense of cleansing and repair, the Commissioners hate caused queries to be left from house to house to obtain answers from the eccupiers; and they propose to extend the like inquiries throughout other districts. The in formation at present obtained leads them to believe that at half the annual expense incurred in the one district examined for repairing a bad system of old drains, they will be enabled to have laid down au entire system of new ceies. They have had trials made with a view to the more accurate determination of the sizes requisite for house drains, and other apparatus. They have directed the consulting engineer and the surveyors to prepare a report expository of the most approved plans of house drains and cleansing apparatus, with a view to extend the improved principles by voluntary adop tion. This report, it is hoped, will be shortly com pleted for public circulation. They have not ne glected the application of refuse as manure. As fere tilix3rs, they have given the subject the most seri ous consideration until a new system of drainage', is determined upon. They have not found them selves in a condition to sanction other than trial works. • Trial works of ono kind they have already sanctioned; those of another they have under consideration. In the meantime they have made arrangements for supplying cgriculturists with sewage and manure for private trials on the most liberal terms. Mr. Donaldson, their as sistant-surveyor, who has charge of the works connected with land drainage, and who has been authorised to dis pose of the refuse, has made arrangements with several enterprising farmers, who have undertaken to make trials of the sewer water. For its distribution from the river banks and the canals upon the land he has availed himeell of the pumping machinery invented and applied by Mr. Philip Holland, which has been found to work satisfactorily as a means of rapid and cheap distribu tion from the Bridgewater Canal near Mancheste r. The progress of these works will , it is expected, influ ence the extension of similar works throughout the em pire."—(Bear, hear.) Mr. CHADWICK stat ed, that exami na tions had been made with a view to ascertain what hadbeen the the flushing upon the r iver. The analysis of the water showed no worse a cond ition than was believed to have effects of been shown some years ago. A large proportion of the banks was now clear of mud than formerly. This was attributable to the action of the steamboats, for during the night the deposit increased, and it was cleared away during the daytime. The removal of the dam of the old London-bridge increased the flow and swcep , of the water. The proportion of the matter flushed into the river was inconsiderable in proportion to the bulk of the water, and probably of the natural detritus ',roughs . down the river; and so far as inquiries had yet pro ceeded, there was reason to believe that it lasted only a day or two. No doubt addition of any such matter was injurious for the time; but it was equally nn doubted that it was far more injurious to have the matter be only a flushing operations, he hope d, would pulation.

RYE •lIOUSE, HERTFORDSHIRE.—On Monday last, an excursion of the members of the Loyal United Friends, took place to this delightful spot, in behalf of the Friend-in-Need Fund, cn which occasion a numerous party of ladies and gentlemen left the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Counties Railway, about ten o'cicck, and proceeded to the Rye-House station, where they arrived at about ten minutes past eleven. The Rye House is situated on the banks of the River Lea, within one hun dred yards of the railway station, near Hoddeedon, and is famous in English history as having been the place where a pretended conspiracy was designed, proposing to take the life of King Charl:s the Second. This plot was made the engine by the corrupt Parliament of that period to effect the judicial murder of those martyrs for freedom and liberty, Lord Russell and Algernon Sydney. The ruins of the Rye House are still in good preserva tion, as are also those of Netherhall, a mansion, or rather a lodge to a castle of the time of Henry the Eighth. A short distance on the banks of the River Lea is the interesting village of Amwell, where are the Chadwell Springs, the source of the New River, with the urn and tomb of Sir Hugh Middleton, that great bene factor, who spent the whole of his fortune in bringing the New River water to London. After the company had done ample justice to their appetites, they enjoyed themselves in boating, angling, cricket, trap-ball, archery, &c., until about two hours of their departure for town, when a considerable portion assembled in the long room; P.S P. Robertson presiding as chairman, and supported, among others, by P.P. Burgess, P.S.P. Spearing, P.S P. Clay, P.S.P. Bull, P.P. Stu id, P.P. Cole, P.P. Faw cett, P.S.P. Smart, P.P. Taylor, P.P. S ma rt, P.P. Coombes, P.P. Woodman, P.l'. Watson, P.S.P. Barns, and P.S.P. Price, Secretary Crawley, and Treasurers Fox and Chamberlain. The health of the chairman, P.S.P. Robertson, was proposed, in a neat speech, by P.S.P. Smart, and received with epplause, and was ac knowledged by Mr. Robertson in his usual glowing style. P.P. Cole, in a speech of considerable length, gave " The Stewards," and thanks to them for the ex cellent arrangements of the day. This was spoken to by I'.P. Studd in a few appropriate words. The health of the " Treasurer of the Relief Fund, P.S.P. Price," was drank amid much cheering, with one more for his better health. P.P.
