CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster today, to hear motions, bankrupts, petitions, and appeals. EGLINTOUN V. GRAHAM. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal mo tion occupied his Lordship the whole morning. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) His Lordship the Master of the Rolls was occupied the whole morning with petitions and short causes of no interest except to the parties concerned. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the - VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) STILES V. GREY. The further arguments in this part-heard case, which came before his Honour upon exceptions and further di rections occupied the Court the whole day, (Before the Vice Chancellor WIGRAM.) RAWLINGS V. MOSS.—JUDGMENT. His HONOUR gave Judgment this morning in the case which came before him yesterday upon the question of the validity of a plea. The bill was filed to revive the suit against the personal representatives of a defendant in the original suit who had died. The defendant to the bill of revivor put in a plea alleging that the deceased defendant to the original bill had never entered an ap pearance thereto. Mr. SPENCE and Mr. WEBSTZR for the plea sub mitted that the defendant could only be proceeded against by original bill, as until appearance by a de fendant there was no suit to revive against his represen tatives. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL and Mr. WRIGHT, in sup port of the bill, stated that the deceased defendant, whether a formal appearance bad been entered or not, had appeared in the original suit by her solicitor, and that several decress and orders had been made in the suit, she being so represented. His HONOUR this morning stated, after going shortly into the case, that he was clearly of opinion that the plea was insufficient, aad that it must therefore be over- , ruled. Nothing worthy of special notice occurred in the Court of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.

Cutters—Lark, Gauntlet, Ariadne THE OAK AND THE Asia LEAF.—A correspon dent sends us the following :—" Sc , nae observers of na ture have broached the theory, that the future character of the summer is indicated by thi relative periods at which the oak and the ash put II )rth their leaves in spring. If the oak has the start a t lry summer may be expected—if the ash is much ahead 1, wet weather is to predominate. Now this season the oak is so far ahead as to test the matter, and if the the ory is well founded, the summer should be very dry ; if it prove so, the sub , ject will deserve more particular attention, and may he useful in many ways hereafter. In connexion with the foregoing, it may be observed that; : s dry summer is ge nerally productive of a good crop o f wheat ; it prevents the plant from exhausting itself in straw, and is propi tious to the blooming and kearning 1 process, and of cou rse indispensable to its being well har vested. It produced an excellent crop last year, and gre a ,tly contributed to the important reduction of price.—W. t": 1.-29, 5 MO, 1848." —Plymouth Journal.

(YESTERDAY.) DUBLIN. The scrutiny case was resumed yesterday morning, and an objection was taken against a number of voters, on the ground that they had neglected to pay a certain muni eipal rate, which deprived them of the right of voting. Mr. ROWE, on behalf of the sitting Member, insisted that the objection could not be sustained, inasmuch as the rate was not legally decl are d. Mr. MURPHY, C2,C., on the other side, argued that the municipal authorities had the power to make the rate. After considerable argument, pro and con., the Com mittee adjourned to take time to consider the point. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of June 2.) SUGAR. —To- day a further falling off was apparent in the value of raw Sugar ; in prices little variation was observ able, as the supply at market was less plentiful. Of West India Muscovado the purchases were small, and confined to only 350 hhds, &c., including a public sale of 153 hhds Bar badoes, which went 6d cheaper. Fine yellow sold at 435, good 41s 6d to 425, middling and good mid dling 40s to 41s. The total purchases for the week are 1,260 hhds, &c., and the decline in prices amounts to 6d, and in some cases of is per cwt. REPINED.—To-day the home trade operated with caution in all sorts of refined goods, and easier rates were taken—Standard Lumps selling at 565, and brown 55s to 55s 6d. For Crushed Sugar there are still few orders, but prices are not lower. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was only a limited demand for Bengal Sugar, and 2,856 bags at public sale were only in part sold, but full rates were obtained. Of Madras 1,130 bags went at the full worth. bIAURITIUS.—The supply has much increased this week, and for both grocery and refining purposes the demand is less active, still previous rates are sustained for all qualities. Of 12,362 bags, 36- casks offered at public sale, about half sold. The chief portion con sisted of the better qualities. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Fo reign Sugar: the private operations are a cargo of white Havannah at 325, 1,800 boxes yellow, duty paid, 40s to 41s, and 200 chests brown Bahia 38s Gd per cwt. MOLASSES. —Holders are asking full rates for all sorts of West India, but the demand has been limited this week by private treaty. The deliveries are, however, on the increase, and arrivals keep small. At public sale 189 puns of new Trinidad were taken in at 18s for middling quality. In the value of Bengal Treacle there is no variation. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Coffee, and the amount of business done in the private market was small. The value of good ordinary native Ceylon is 30s to 30s 6d. COCOA .—lal porters of Trinidad continue to manifest a desire to realise, and having abundantly supplied the market this week produced a decline in prices of 2s to 3s per cwt. Of 1,416 bags offered at auction, a part sold. A further reduction is expected to take place on account of the large quantity to arrive. For Foreign the market is in a dull state, and prices tend downwards. At public sale 69 bags of African were taken in at 30s for dull red, but rather wormy. TEA.--To-day there was little passing in Tea by pri vate treaty, and of 780 packages offered at public sale, 570 found buyers at prices rather under those previously current for Green—Gunpowder, Canton went at is lid to is 6id, Imperial ditto 10d to 100. Canton, Young Hyson bid to 11, 1 -d, and middling Congou, in half-chests 8d per lb. On luesday 4,000 packages of Tea will be offered at public sale. RlCE.—East India has been in excellent request for exportation this week, and the home trade have been purchasers to a fair extent. The rates obtained are equal to those previously current, but any advance has been prevented in consequence of the market having been more liberally supplied. For the lower sorts the demand has been the most active. At auction 3,792 bags, and 2,46 pockets of Bengal were all sold. Clean Rice - sold with more readiness. On Tuesday 500 bags of Bengal, and on Wednesday 2,300 bags of Batavia Rice will be offered at public sale. SPlCES.—Pimento finds a more ready sale, and full terms. 554 bags at auction were all sold. Holders of Black Pepper are unwilling to make any further conces sion in the value, and refrained from submitting any to public sale this week. Privately, however, the pur chases mado have been limited in all sorts, the export orders are unusually small. For Cassia Lignea the market is very dull, and prices are little better than nominal. At auction 54 chests were taken in at 69s Gd to 70s for good thin quill. The market will be better supplied shortly. Purchases to a fair extent have been made in Cinnamon this week upon the terms of the last quarterly sales; there is also a less quantity on offer. Cassia Buds are dull of sale at 75a to 80s. Ginger is little wanted by exporters, but there is a good home demand. Of Jamaica 122 brls at auc tion went at 2/14s to 317 s forordinary to middling. Cloves have been dealt in with caution, and prices tend down wards. For Mace the demand is on the increase, and prices aro firm. Nutmegs are less freely brought to market; the demand is on the increase, and prices are firm. For public sale next week 880 cases of Cassia Lignea, 70 bags Cloves, 150 bags white, 500 black Pepper, 132 bags Pimento, 50 brls Ginger are declared.

IRREGULAR PUNISHMENTS IN THE NAVY. —We stated a short time since that the Admiralty were determined to put down all irregular punishments in the navy. It will be seen by the following cautionary document that their Lordships have practically followed up their ex pressed determination : " May 31, 1848.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty regret to observe that with a view to avoid corporal punishments, a system of secondary punish ments severe in their nature, and contrary to the usages of the service, has been adopted in some of her Majes ty's ships. "They cannot but consider that such a practice, how ever plausible, or even praiseworthy, the 'motives that have led to it, is contrary to the rules established for the good of the service and the due protection of all engaged; and they consequently direct that in future a book shall be kept in all her Majesty's ships, to be called the "De faulter's Book," in which the nature and degree of every offence committed, with the punishment awarded in each case, to every person onboard under the rank of quarter deck officer shall be entered. The captain, or other officer in command of the ship, will be held responsible for the proper keeping of this book, and the correctness of the entries made in it, and he is to produce it when ever his ship is inspected by a senior officer, or whenever he may be required to do so by superior authority. "Their Lordships take this opportunity to impress upon all commanding-officers the necessity of holding themselves accountable for each and all of the minor punishments inflicted upon those under their command, and of confining themselves strictly within the limits which the usage and the customs of the service prescribe. They are part of the system by which discipline must be maintained, and my Lords will always hold it to be the imperative duty of an officer in command to make him self acquainted with the most trifling punishment in flicted on board his ship, and to satisfy himself as to their justice and necessity. (Signed) " C. OGLE, Admiral. "To the respective captains, &c." PRIZE MONEY FOR THE ESPOIR AND KINGFISHER. — Messrs.

She was launched on the sth of February, commissioned on the 20th, and sailed on the 29th of the same mouth. She did not call at the Cape, and has come in forty days from St Helena, and thirty 6ve from Ascension. Both islands were very healthy; there were no men of war at the former; at the latter were the Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with the Commodore, Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.8., on board; the Amphitrite, 25, Captain H. Eden; the Tortoise store and guard-ship, Captain Hutton; the Sealark, 10, Com mander Moneypenny ; and the Bonetta brigantine, Lieut.- Commander Forbes. A court-martial had been held upon a Second Master, and resulted in the prisoner being found guilty of the charges brought against him, and dismissed his ship. The squadron on the coast was very healthy. We regret to announce the death, three days prior to the arrival of the Nerbudda at Ascension, of Commander H. T. L. Levinge, of the Penelope, a cir cumstance most unlooked for, and which cast a gloom over all at Ascension. He was a good officer, and, as such, respected by his superiors and looked up to by his juniors. Lieut. Gilbert B. Rutherford (1840), First of the Penelope, has been promoted to the vacancy. The Jumna, 16, tender to the Nerbudda, will follow her to England in three weeks in charge of the First-Lieu tenant of the latter. The Meanee, 80, building at Bom bay, about which we have heard so much, and the havoc made in her timbers by that destructive insect the white aat, will be launched in October. Com mander Peirse was the senior officer of a Board of Sur • vey held upon her to examine into and pronounce upon her state after the discovery of the mischief. Messrs. Lewin, Bojer, and Helby, midshipmen of the Vernon, 50, also all the late Admiral Englefield's domestics, in valids from the East India squadron, and supernume raries, and one prisoner (a marine deserter), have been brought home by the Nerbudda, together with a mail from Ascension, and dispatches from Sir Charles Ho tham. The Nerbudda sails swiftly, and is pronounced a very superior sea-going vessel, as nearly all Symonds's small vessels are. The Sharpshooter screw-steamer, Lieutenant Com manding J. C. Bailey, returned this morning from Ply mouth with marines for the Mediterranean squadron to be embarked in the Howe. She came into harbour this afternoon. The Netley tender, Mr. Drysdale, Second commanding, arrived from Plymouth to-day with newly Master, entered men. The Medusa steam-packet, Lieutenant J. 0. Ba thurst, Commanding, was docked to-day, with orders tor the workmen employed on her to work extra time for her completion, which it is estimated will occupy three weeks.

He has also been presented with the an nuity medal and 151 for length of service. RAILWA Y .—B IRMINGRAM, — CCIDRNT ON TUE BRISTOL AND Buti,tiNGlTAm FRlDAT.—Between four and five o'clock thi s morning, a fatal accident took place on this line of railway, n ear the Camp hill station. It ap p ears amain at some line to goods waggons, were being shifted off the a siding to allow a train to ass, from some cau se the trucks received a shock, which had the effect of throwing the fireman, Rupert Cooke, when from the engine to the ground, when his legs became entangled with the wheels, and after being dragged a short distance, they passed over his head, killing him on the spot. SATURDAY IRELAND. DUBLIN, JUNE I.—Mr. Mitchel is now on his way to Bermuda, wherQ his sentence of transportation is to be carried out.- The Scourge steamer reac h ed Spike Is!and yesterday morning to convey him to his desti nation. The necessary order to deliver him to the custody of the ecmmander of the Scourge had been'pre viously received by the governor of the depot at Spike Island. The Dublin Evening Post gives a positive and autho. rised contradiction to statements that have been pub lished, to the effect that Mr. Mitchel has been treated with cruelty. That journal says— " Mr. Hitchins, of the Chief Secretary's dice, as superintendent of convicts, attended on the departure of the Shearwater on Saturday last. On arriving on board, that gentleman introduced himself to Mr. Mit chel, and assured him that he should receive every indulgence consistent with his safe custody. On referring to the irons, which were merely on one leg, Mr. Hitchins promised, on the understanding that no improper use should be made of the indulgence, that Mr. Mitchel's wishes for their removal should be acceded to, and in about a quarter of an hour afterwards they were taken off by the policeman in charge. Mr. Hitchins also directed that Mr. Mitchel should not be dressed as a convict, but that the clothing should be given up (as it was) to the Governor of Spike Island. On referring to Mrs. Mitchel, in the course of their conversation, Mr. Hitchins permitted him to write a private note to her, on the understanding that it was merely on private matters, which he promised to have delivered on his return to Dublin. Mr. Mitchel expressed himself, on Mr. Hitchins leaving the vessel, as very grateful to that gentleman for his kindness. We shall now place before the public the following communication from the officer in command of the Shearwater:— " Shearwater, Kingstown, May 31st, 1848. " Sir,—ln reply to your query communicated to me by Mr. Hitchins, I have the honour to inform you that the allusion made in the Freeman's Jonrnal of this day's date, as to the harsh conduct of the officials is charge of Mr. Mitchel while on board her Majesty's ship under my command, and my interference on the occasion, is totally without foundation. " ' Every attention, consistent with the prisoner's safety was shown, both by all on board, and the two policemen in whose custody he was placed. "' I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "'EDMUND E. TURNOUR, Lieutenant and Commander.' " The Repealers and Confederates of Cork had a meet ing on Sunday to organize clubs, " the only practical measure which the present time suggests." The fol lowing resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. 1. J. Barry:—: " That the flagitious proceedings which have termi nated in the consigning of John Mitchel, that truly noble and self-sacrificing maa, to a felon's fate, impose on all Irishmen the duty of immediate preparation to meet any emergency which may arise; that the organization promulgated by this club should be proceeded with in the most rapid manner possible, in order to combine and concentrate the national strength." PRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS IN FAVOUR OF REPEAL. ma T n h K e e l e Z h ig a h n t Hon. , Aldermanthe l O ,o ,B rd rie M n, ayo m. r p. o , f Dublin, Alderma A Alderman Gavin, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., Mr. Ferguson, T.C., and several other members of the Irish metropolitan corpora tion, attended by th e civic officers, and attired in full municip a l costume, were h onoure d w i t h an interview by the Queen on Thursday, at Buckingham Palace, for the purpos e of presenting !oher Majesty an address in favour of th e repeal of the Legislative Act of Union. The fol lowing- is a copy of the address, which was read by the Lord Mayor : — "To the Queen's most excellent Majesty. The humble, loyal, and dutiful address of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Dublin. " May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's loyal and dut i f u l subjects avail ourselves of the ancient privilege of our Corporation to approach, with all due respect, th e f oot o f the Throne, and tender' our humble, but dutiful and heartfelt congratulations, on the late happy event of the birth of a Princess, and to express our loyal sympathy on any event which may conduce to increase your Majesty's domestic happiness. "N:lowing, as we do, that nothing can tend more to give your Majesty happiness than to see your people en joyinr, peace, comfort, and Constitutional liberty, we venture humbly to entreat your Majesty to be pleased to direct your immediate advisers to pay particular atten tion, at the present juncture, to the necessities, the wants, and wishes of your most dutiful, long-suffering, and much-wronged people of Ireland. " Most gracious Majesty, we humbly and with all due deference venture to suggest, that the main cause of the misery of Ireland is that her laws are not made by an Irish Parliament—that instead of a sister nation, she has been legislated for as a mere province —and that the certain and effectual course to restore her prosperity, to preserve the integrity of the empire, and to attach most of Ireland, is by the restoration to Ireland of the power to make her own laws and to manage her own resources by the repeal, as speedily as possible, of the Act of the Legislative Union, and the assembling of your Majesty's Irish Parliament. " Thus, as we humbly conceive, will the prosperity of Ireland be secured, and that of your Majesty's other dominions increased ; and, let what may happen in other countries, the throne of your Majesty be based on the most secure, steadfast foundation —the love, duty, and allegiance of your Majesty's people." The Queen then read the following reply, in a distinct and emphatic tone : " I thank you cordially for your address of congratu lation, and for the interest you express in my domestic happiness. • " It is my constant aim to promote the peace, comfort, and constitutional liberty of all classes of my people, and my greatest satisfaction is derived from the assur ance of their loyal and affectionate attachment. " I have felt deep sympathy for the suffering of many of my subjects in Ireland. " I-have given my cordial sanction to the various Acts passed by the Le g i s l ature, for the mitigation of that suffering, and I trust that by means of those Acts, aided by private charity and local efforts, the pressure of severe distress has been materially relieved. " I am fully persuaded that measures calculated to ad vance the interests end promote the welfare of that por tion of my United Kingdom will continue to receive from the Imperial Parliament the most careful and attentive consideration." Mr. M. O'Connell, M.P., the mover of the address, and Mr. Ferguson, T.C., the seconder, had the honour of being introduced to the Queen, and kissing hands. The Senior Alderman present had also the ho nour of being presented and kissing hands. The de putation then retired from the Royal presence and pro ceeded to the House of Commons, where, as we have already noticed, they presented a petition in favour of a repeal of the Legislative Union. COURT CIRCULAR. The Right Hon. William Sebright Lascelles, Comp troller of the Queen's Household, had an audience of her Majesty yesterday, at Buckingham Palace, and presented an address of condolence to her Majesty, on the death of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia, from the House of Commons.

THE FUNERAL OF HER LATE ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS SOPHlA.—Yesterday, in pursuance of orders from the Lord Chamberlain's Office, ground was opened in the Kensal-green Cemetery for a vault for the reception of the remains of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia. The corpse will be deposited in the catacombs until the royal vault is completed. The funeral will be as private as circumstances can admit. The high esteem in which the Princess was held has pre vented the strict privacy being observed which was, it is understood, the desire of the lamented deceased. The preliminaries on the solemn occasion have been left in the hands of Messrs. Wakeling and Son, of Gerrard street, Soho. The body, which lies in Kensington Palace, has been deposited in a coffin of Spanish ma hogany french polished, enclosed in one of lead. The outer coffin is covered with crimson silk-velvet, elabo rately ornamented with silver-gilt nails and massive gilt handles. The inscription plate bears the following : "H. R. H.
