During lag week the arrivals of all kind.; of grain, as well as Flour, of home product., were on a very limited 'cafe, though of full average quality. From Ireland and Scotland, they were confined to about 4,000 quarters of Oats. The imports from abroad were again liberal, viz., 17,584 quarters of Wheat, 9,461 ditto of Barley, 6,703 ditto of Oats, 6,682 ditto of Beans, 1,171 ditto of Peas, 2,223 ditto of Tares, 10,010 ditto of Linseed, 155 ditto of Mustard Seed, 489 ditto of sundry seeds, in cluding Indian Corn, and 100 sacks, together with 1,100 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat ar rived fresh up to-day, from Essex, Kent, Cambridge shire, Stc - ., coastwise, was considerably on the in crease. By land-carriage and sample, the re ceipts wore small. On the whole, the stands were much better filled with samples than for some time past, owing to which, the prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, and the compara tively small attendance of buyers, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at a de. cline in the quotations paid on Monday last of from Is to 2s per quarter. At the close of business a clearance of the samples had not been effected. Since the returns were made up on Saturday evening, several cargoes of , Foreign Wheat, Barley, and oAts have come to hand: Foreign Wheat was again pressed for sale—landed as well as on board—and the currencies receded from Is to 2s per quarter, with a limited amount of business doing. an y English Barley was on offer, and the prices of S lyeatrlicaetarticle were nominal. The quantity of foreign was good, and all kinds sold at Is to 2s per quarter less money. The demand for all kinds of Malt was in a very dull state. In prices, however, we have no change to notice. Notwithstanding the show of Oats w as small, that description of grain met a very inactive demand, and, jn in9st instances, the rates were quite 6d per cwt lower than on M )nday last. The sale for all kinds of Beaus was dull, at an abatement in value of Is per quarter. Very few Peas were on offer ; yet the business doing in them was trifling, at late rates. In Indian Corn and Meal, next to nothing was doing. The top price of the best Town-made Flour was unaltered. Ship marks were somewhat easier to purchase. CURtENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The number of Beast here to day fro Holland an Germany was small, but those of Sheep nd Calves was again extensive. There were in the met 16 very superior Oxen from Spain. Even the tie of year considered, the supply of Beasts from our graing districts was again extensive, and of full averap quality. Although the attendance of both town and d imly buyers was numerous, the Beef trade was in a vry inactive state, at prices barely equal to those obtaied on Monday last, and at which a clearance was not eected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridpshire, we received about 1,600 Scots and short horn; from the western and midland counties, 800 Here ford runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; from other parts of Icglabd, 400 of various breeds; and ,from Scotland, 489 horned and polled Scots. We have to report a furor iticrease in the supply of Sheep. Prime Down quf:ties were in moderate request at last week's cur rerivs; otherwise, the Mutton trade was heavy, and lat rates were with difficulty supported. Ooly about 10 Lambs eame to hand from the Isle of Wight, but the arivals from other quarters were large. The Lamb trde was in a very inactive state. at from 24 to 4d per !Blks beneath the prices paid on Monday hit. Calves wre a very dull inquiry, at barely the late depression in value. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, at almost tdminal currencrs. Beef is now selling at from is 4d 'kis Bd, Mutton 44 to 84, Lamb 84 to is, Veal 84 to Id, and Pork quite 2d per 81bs lower than at the nor raponding period iu 1347.

Sir,—On Wednesday May 31, the House went into Committee on the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. The party that are for relieving nobody, move - i an instruction to the Committee to divide the Bill into two ; which will be unders - ood rs giving up one por tion of the spoil with a view to making a better de fence upon the other. In this they succeeded by a majority of 142 against 129. On a subsequent mo tion to stop progress, they were defeated by 161 against 111. On Thursday, the adjourned debate on the Navi gation-laws was resumed on the question of going into Committee. The Conservatives made their usual protest against "the sordid spirit of gain ;" which is what th e y h a bi tually put forward when the question is of taking profits for themselves and making other people pay for it. One fact they commented on, which m us t b e further looked into. A naval officer of rank, Si r J ames Sterling, has declared before a Committee, that he does not believe in the connexion between the navy and the mercantile marine, to the extent it has been customary to assume. This, as coining from a professional autho rity, is important; for it strikes at several weighty ass umptions, amon g o th ers, the necessity for Im pressment, and the policy of p aying twice °Ter, once for the navy, and once before for . the mercantile ma rine. My own belief is, that t it would be as reason able to ask you the public, a monopoly price for pasaboys, in order that the Artillery might supply itself with drivers. It is no doubt convenient for the Artillery to recruit among used it to the driviug business, in order to fill up what cannot educate bedifficulty itself; and it i s p oss ibl e there might maintaining a c or p s o f artillery-drivers in to a country where there were p os i t i vely no drivers be h a d outside. But thi s i s a l ong way from allowing g post mastersrt to set up a pl ea , t h at they are the n great nursery of artillery-d r i vers, and therefore must be nursed with a monopoly price. Drivers are good, and sailors are good ; but not necessarily so good as to require to be paid for twice over. It appears we have a naval officer avowing his disbelief; and you at Bradford, as the men who are to pay for all, ought to follow his lead, when you have done with the pike-exercise. On Friday, the debate on the Navigation-laws was continued and again adjourned. The most remark able point brought out during the debate, was the admission on all sides of the House of the impossi bility of.ittgain resorting to Impressment.: ;Those who attend to such things, know the effect of an adinies sion of this kind, end how it settles down into the public mind, forming there a fixed basis of, opinion which cannot be afterwards disturbed. Lord John Hay, one of the Lords of the Admiralty, was the mouthpiece of the Government. When urged to say how the Government expected to man the navy . in the event of a sudden war, he fairly stated that they looked to the inevitable check to employ ment in some department or other of the merchant service which must be attendant, and to the encou ragement the royal navy could offer to 'The un employed seamen to enlist. It is quite clear that sense and justice have made their way into high places. The army has long been recruited on the same principle ; and it was only because the sailor was a man cut off from conceived community of in terest with the other classes, that the injustice could be applied to him. Two things only are wanting to recruit the royal navy to any extent, good pay, and good usage. On the first there i 3 a good deal to he done; for the transfer of sailors from the merchants' to the royal service must be slow, so long as there is the.outward visible sign of wages being three times as high in the one as in the other. There may, to a certain extent, be counterbalances in the eyes of reasoning men ; but the navy cannot wait for being manned by reasoning men. At the same time it is plain the naval officers are doing much to wards the cause of progress. They scout the notion of their predecessors, that there is no way of supply ing the navy with able seamen but by stealing them fr :in the merchant-vessels ready made. They do as the Artillery would do, if told there was no way to have their guns drivea but by stealing post-boys. They do not deny that post-boys rreay be a useful accessory ; but they say that they can make post boys too, and that there is no reason why a man who is to live in the saddle, should not learn his trade in their school as well as in another. It is evident that this question of the Navigation laws divides itself into two parts, the commercial and the political ; and these it is the policy of the Protection ists to confound together, and therefore of everybody else to separate. The first or commercial part of the question, is simply a portion of the general subject of Free Trade. Is it for the advantage of the community that the price of any commodity should be artificially raised by law ? See who gains and who loses, and then putting the whole together, see which way the balance lies. If you at Bradford could not do this, you would be of scant knowledge in your own busi ness, and deserve to take the consequences. But it is wonderful how slow the progress of this knowledge is outside; and for trying to extend it in the House of Commons, you might as well make a proposal for teaching algebra. I have always maintained that the main cause of the obscurity is from overlooking one of the items of the account. For example, it is only a few nights since a very eminent member of the House, who may some day be Prime Minister, put with great effect the case of the steam-boats on the Thames, which carry the citizen for fourpence as far as the old wherries did for four shillings, and pointed out the certainty that the difference was in the pocket of the citizen. But, if he will excuse a question from " an older, not a better, soldier," why did he stop exactly there? He had proved a balance, but no more. Why, for in stance, should not the Member for Lincoln who grieves over railways, ask him what good has been done upon the whole, and why the suffer ings attendant upon change are to be incurred, with the mere result of taking three and eight pence out of one man's pocket to put it into another's ? I therefore take liberty to ask, whether the Honourable Member did not halt exactly where it was important that he should go on. I want to know, whe ther the citizen in the steam-boat does not expend that identical three and eightpence as much as ever, on some form of industry or another,—at Brussells I remember supposing it the industry of pastry-cooks, which has the advantage of being distinct and picturesque. I want to know then, whether the account does not stand thus. In the old state of things, four shillings to a waterman for pulling me in two hours from Blackwell to Westminster. Per contra, in the new, fourpence to a steam- boat company for carrying me the same distance in one hour, and three and eight pence to a pastrycook for a m agn ifi cent currant tart. No w what I insist on knowing, is, first, whether this does not make an exact balance as regards the indus• try of the country from the expenditure of the four shillings,' keeping the tart -eater out of sight ; and secondly, wheth er un d er t h e new state of things, the tart-eater does not gain the tart. I hold to it, and will for ever maintain it, that the " bucking" the truth that the th ree an d eightpence isjust as much expended on the i n d us t ry of tho country in the now state of things as in the old, is the cause of all the doubt which has hung about the question of free trade, and that the observation of it is the key which opens all difficulties conn ec t e d w i t h the subject. If there are pining wutermen for want of the three and eight pence, there are fattening pistrycooks, and, what is the important', thing] which: turns the scale, there is a citizen swallowing pastry for his money, instead of swallowing nothing but the damp air of the Isle of Dogs in a two hours' drag with sculls. This is what nobody can be got to see. This is what I have been laughed at by all sorts of men, political economists included, for maintaining. And this is what I mean to maintain to the end involves the whole principle of free trade, and without it, we who have supported free trade, have been babblers dis turbing the world without a cause. Hence all artificial raising of prices for the sake of giving more extensive profits or employment to those who are to sell, is only taking from one man to give to another as far as industry is concerned, and rob bing the consumer of the value of the difference for love. And the conclusion is just as clear,.if instead of steaui-boats is put the proposal for making wine in hot-houses ; the result being that the balance among the industries to be employed is . just the same, only the consumer in one case is to pay six instead of two pounds for his wine per dozen, and have nothing for the difference. If this is not true, we ought to close railways, burn steam-boats, prohibit ploughs, forbid omnibuses, blunt knives and take off th e e d ge o f razors, make wine in hot-houses and grow cotton in cucumber-frames, levy taxes to be spent in -fireworks or digging holes and filling them up again, arid in all possible manners take the way that gives most trouble with the least result. In every one of these cases, the reason why it should not be done lies simply in the neglected fact, that the money would just as much be expended on industry if all people were left to take the course that is profitable to them. But if this is true, then the refusing to employ a foreign-built ship in order that you may give a greater price for an English one, is in a commercial view a piece of the same silliness as to insist on making wine in hot-houses instead of bringing it from Oporto. And it acts on you at Bradford in two ways, besides your general interest as consumers which might make a third. It obliges you to use a dearer instrument for your foreign trade,—for a ship is just as much your instrument as a cart or waggon ; and it cuts you off from a portion of your foreign trade, which is increased by all ,ex tension of transactions with foreigners, and dimi nished by their prohibition. If you like to consent to the prohibition because it cannot exactly be shown which is the piece in your warehouses that is not to go abroad, it is for your selves to decide. Though, to my fancy, there would be no mere reason in it, than in aslcing you to con sent to a sovereign being taken from your pocket, MARLBRO%STREET—(THIS DAY.) CAPTURE of GAMBLERS —Charles Li!e.-, 3, Bloom field-terrace, Pimlico, gentleman ; Samuel ' Brown, 4, Crown. court, Pall-Mall, servant; Charles Sidney Davis Mills, Captain of Life Guards, Limener's.liotel ; Captain Alexander Bagot, 15th Regiment of Foot, Aide-,le-Camp to Lord Gough ; Edward Welsh, 1, St. Alban's-place ; Captain Charles Fitz roy , R oya l Artillery: G eorge Lil ey, Lieutenant Alexand er , C resar Hawkins, Riyal Artillery ; James Webster, 41, B erry - street ; Williamßrown, Henry Smith, 60, S tran d ; Richards, 25, Brompton row ; Richard Mostyn, 30, Cockspur•street ; Christopher Cape!,Alban's-p , 1, St. lacs ; Lieutenant Gilmore Burchell, Royal Artillery ; an d William Wil kinson, were br oug h t b e f ore Mr. 'Hardwick, charged with being found in a common gambling-house, Nu. 64, St. James's-street, without lawful excuse. Ali% Henry Beresford, superintendent of the C di vision, said, he produced his report, and the order of the Commissioners of the Police to enter the house. About a quarter-past two on Sunday morning he went to the house %Situ a body of constables, and foiled the promises to all appearance closed. Ho rang the bell several times, and as no one appeared he directed one of the constables to knock loudly on the door with a crow-bar. After waiting a fe w m i nutes h e commence d f orc ing the door. This d oor was strongly secured with an iron chain, and gave th em some trouble to b rea k it open. They then proc ee d e d a l ong the passage t ill t h e y c ame to a pair of foldi ng d oors covered with green b a ize, also forced open, w h en w i tnes s entered a passage, and strongly se cure d w i t h i ron bars. , This door was and saw the defendants Charles Liley and Brown standing at the bottom of the stairs. Witness ordered a con stable to secure them, while he proceeded upstairs, and found all the other defendants in the first floor front room. There wore two billiard tab'es in the room, and 'lights were burning over them. Witness then had the whole of C.o defendants taken into custody, and con veyed to the station, where they were searched, but no gaming implements found upon them. Witeess subse quently searched the premises, but could discover no implements used in gaming. Mr. Robarts, of Spring- e gardens and Mr. Huddle stone, who attend e d for he defendants, contended that the defendants must be discharged, as there was not the least evidence offered to show that they had met for the purposes of gambling. Mr. HanDwicz said, in the absence of any technical and legal evidence of the house being a common gaming house, the present case could not be gone on with. He must, therefore, discharge them. 24 11N 15 3 4 51 WORSHIP-STREET.--(THISDAY ) THE before the opening of the court, the office was literally besieged by individuals anxious to obtain a sight of the indivi duals called Chartists, aho had, during yesterday, been taken into custody fur riotous and disorderly conduct, and with assaulting the police in the performance of their duty. Some of the defendants appeared with their heads and faces much cut and swollen and covered with adhesive plaister. A sweep, named Samuel Neuman, was charged by constable 214 N, with hooting and yelling at the police whilst conveying their prisoners from the van into the office at about half-past ten o'clock this morning. Ile had been seen by witness, among the crowd, some ti me previously, an d was h ear d to say by a brother constable that he should like to " run tho police through." He was, however, at length laid hold of and brought into the court. Mr. HAMSIILL said that the defendant hall been in. terrupting the police in the execution of their duty, almost within the very walls of the court. lie should therefore call upon him to find substantial bail for his good behaviour for three calendar months. The prisoner, in default, was locked up. Robert Maigrie was charged by 172 N, with being one of a mob, collected yesterday morning in Nova Scotia- Bethnal-green, and with attempting to hurl a stone at the police. One man was haranguing the mob. Ile perceived the defendant pick up a stone and place it in his pocket. The police were booted at by the mob. Witness kept his eye upon the prisoner, stud presently saw him pick up another stone and place that also in his pocket. The mob now removed to an adjoining field, followed by the police, and presently he saw the defendant withdraw one of the stones from his coat pocket, and raise his arm, and direc:ing it towards the police would have burled it at them, but for his arm having been caught by a policeman, who conveyed him to the station-house, followed by some of the mob. Oa his way to the sta tion the prisoner pulled off his hat, and gave " three cheers for the Chartists." The other stone was found upon his person. The prisoner acknowledged to having given " three cheers for the Chartists," but said ho had no intention whatever of injuring the police. A host of other individuals similarly charged was brought before Mr. Hammill, who desired that they should be locked up until he should have considered of their various sentences according to the amount of their aggression. THE LATE FIRE IN OLD-STREET-ROAD. BENEVO LENCE.—We are requested to acknowledge the receipt of one sovereign by " F. P.," who desires it may be placed for the benefit of the unfortunate sufferers by the late fire in Old-street, St. Luke's. We have, ac cording to the wishes of the benevolent donor, banded the same to Mr. Hammill, the sitting magistrate at the above office, for that purpose. Since Monday last the arrivals of country-killed Meat for ihese markets have consisted of 320 carcases of Beef, GO ditto of Mutton, 450 ditto of Lamb, 230 ditto of Veal, and 390 ditto of Pork. The supplies on offer, slaughtered in the metropolis, have been seasonably ex terlivica and of full average quality. Mutton has moved off stetidi/y, at full prices. In those of Beef we have no change to notice; but Lamb, Veal, and Pork have fallen in value from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per Sibs, with a very dull inquiry. Nearly 800 carcases of foreign Mcat hare been disposed of. At per ?none by the Carcase. s. d. to e. d. 8. d. to d.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIP E.—The marriage of Count Pompeo Troili, Guardia Nobile of his holiness Pius IX., with Miss Maria Hoare, the beautiful daughter of Captain Richard Hoare R.N., an d n iece to Sir Hugh' R. Hoare, Bart. was solemnised - on Saturday at St. James's Church. Piccadilly, the Roman Catholic ritual having previously been complied with in the Catholic chapel by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman, Vicar Apostolic of the London district. The impressive ceremony was performed in the presence of a select circle of the friends of both families, and several foreign noblemen. The happy pair early in the afternoon left the residence of Mrs. Hoare, the bride's aunt, in St. James's-square, in a chariot and four for the country, where they will pass the honeymoon before leaving for Rome. THE RIVER PLATE.--L IVERPOOL, S AT U R DAY,— The Pl.cenix, Captain R ooney, arrived to-day with dates from Monte Video to the 24th of March. Letters brought by this vessel represent Monte Video as being in an alarming state. Mr. Gore arrived in her Majesty's ship Inconstant on the 18th, and Baron Gros in the French steam-ship Magellan on the 19th. Her Majesty's steamer Hydra, from Rio, had arrived at Monte Video. Dr. Varela, editor of the Comercio del Plata, was stabbed at his own door on the night of the 20th of March. TROOPS FROM NEW Sour WALES.—CLIATRAM, JUNE 3.—This day arrived at Fort Pitt, a detachment of the 58th Regiment, consisting of ten men and one sergeant, and eleven privates of the 99th Regiment, with one woman, in charge of Lieutenant Michael Lionel \Vestropp, of the 58th. Some of the men are blind, and the majority are invalided on account of length of ser vice. These troops embarked at Sydney on the 9th of January last, on board the barque Hamlet, Captain Wil son. 420 tons burden. FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP I N TUE RivES —About half-past four o'clock yesterday tifzernoon a tire of au alarming character broke out on board the barque Trubadah, lying in Lavender -dock, Rotherhithe. It originated in the hold, from, it is supposed, some sparks falling from a lighted pipe of tobacco amongst the timber. In the course of a few minutes the floating engines, with others of the London establishment, arrived, and they were set to work, but to extinguish the fire was a work of no little difficulty. By strenuous exertions on the part of the firemen the flames were eventually extinguished, b ut not until the vesse l, which was about 100 tons burden, an d full r i gge d, w as seri ously damaged. EXTENSIVE ( CONFLAGRATIO N AND THREATENED Bito DBAETsTue.friTlloestuOtinF osTtIlEalaSrE.:WantRAILWAYant i Bath on Saturday afternoon in consequence o f the break xie prevailedto E AT in break ing out of a most alarming and destructive fire in the large range of flour mills which adjoin the newly erected go'ills sheds of the Great Western Railway, and which are likewise situated in the almost immediate proximity to that beautiful and costly work of engineering skill, the skew wood bridge, by which the railway is passed from the Bath viaduct across the River Avon. The alarm of fire was first given at between two and three o'clock in the afternoon, and the city engines and those belong ing to the di&rent insurance offices were protnptly manned and conveyed to the scene of conflagra tion. The flour mills have a great deal of timber in their construction, and the flames consequently spread with such rapidity and violence that, at ono time, the destruction of the goods sheds of the railway seemed inevitable, and the skew bridge itself placed in great jeopardy. The flames poured from the windows of the the the rai spot, t , mill against the goods shed, the windows of which were broken, and the bilk of them ignited. The officials of the Great Western Company ex erted themselves to the utmost, us did also the firemen a nd others; and the con flagration was at length got u nder, but not until the interior of the mills had been entirel y burnt out. A and pro perty was considerable; fortunately, however, it w as not large g e apprehensions concourse of spectators felt for the ,assembled safety of r on materially damaged, nor wa s any delay experienced i n the transit of the trains. JOINT-STOCK COMPANIES REG ESTR ATION.—On Saturday was printed, by order of the House of Com mons, an abstract of the report of the Registrar of Joint stock Companies for the year 1847. In the year only 215 companies were provisionally registered under the Act 7 and 8 Vict. c. no, an insignificant number com pared with the two preceding years. There were ninety eight compaLies completely registered in the year, Of companies provisionally registered, but which had not obtained complete registration as required, the number was 178. The amount of fees paid at the head office i n London in the year amounted to 4,0551. 3s. 2d., and in Dublin 100/. 12s. Bd.-4,155/. 15s. 101 Among the companies which failed to obtain complete registration was one called " Sanitary Fountains and General Ad vertising Company." Four fiats were issued in the year against Joint-stock Companies, three of which were rail way companies and ono a cemetery company. In one of the railway co mpanies—Birmingham and Boston Direct—the debts were returned at 5,059/. 6e. 10(1., an d the assets at 241. 10s. "LIVE FEATIIERS."•-••111F.

The fellow had been stitched up in the bed by some rascally passenger broker, with the view of getting him carried over to America as luggage.

Until Thursday there will be nu performance, on account of the melancholy observ ance of Tuesday, whilst we are happy to see that the Monday and Wednesday, belonging to the other theatres, will not be invaded. On Thursday will be performed, for the first time, d'Aiaore, in which Mdlle. Lied made her first .appearance in Stockholm this season, with a success so remarkable that the details were at the time copied in all the journals of the Continent. Still, whatever the new characters she may assume, we con sider, as yet, that none can surpass Lucia, and such appeared to be the opinion of the audience on Saturday night. The house was crowded to excess: the boxes had more than the usual number of fashionable tenants, every stall was occupied, whilst the spectators in the pit were wedged in immovably. Although it was the fourth time consecutively that Lucia had been performed, the plaudits and enthusiasm wero undiminished. The performance was attended by the Prince Louis Napoleon, his Excellency the Russian Minister, Baroness Brunnow and Mademoiselle Olga de Lechner, his Ex cellency the Sardinian Minister, his Excellency the Swedish Minister, his Excellency the Hanoveriau Mi nister, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Leeds and Miss Lane Fox, the Marquis of Clanri carde, the Marquis of Donegall, the Marquis of Ailes bury, the Marquis of Worcester, the Marquis and tlar chioness of Londonderry and Lady Adelaide Vane, the Earl of Wilton, the Earl Granville, the Earl of Fal mouth, the Earl of Aboyne, the Earl of Cardigan, the Countess of Chesterfield, the Countess of Blessington, and the Misses Power, the Earl of Munster, the Earl of Abergavenny, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Bess borough, the Ladies Kathleen and Harriet Ponsonhy, and the Honourable Spencer Ponsonby (who occupied her Majesty's box), the Earl and Countess of Sheffield, the Earl and Countess of Harewood, the Viscount Las cellos, Lady Louisa, and Lady Elizabeth Lascelles, and the Honourable Captain Spencer (who occupied her Majesty the Queen Dowager's box), the Countess of Lichfield and Lady Harriet Anson.

The troupe of the Palais Royal--that inimitable t roupe which, so lung as events let's the Parisians coarage enough to lough, maintained its grata!l and warred against the invasion of gloom—made its first appearance oil Friday night at the St. Jarnt:s's Theatre. I%'e have now . in Eng land, for the first time, a complete company of French comedians, thoroughly drilled, habituated t o their parts, "and all belonging to the same department o f the drama. Nothing could be more marked than the ditl e rence re- 1 salting from this great advautega alone. Were it not for the long intervals betwixt the acts, customary at this theatre, the longest veu&ville ever performed would have glided off n ith astonislang rapidity, and without r error or mistake, every nuanc2 thing thoroughly.stia.ied., complete in details, and up to every exigency of theatri cal illusion. We had only, of course, a portion of the numerous troupe before us. The first in two acts, entitled La Savonette Impertale, is an illus tration of the manner in which l'Empereur himself,. a most striking example of the sold a t s heart= of Voltaire, elevated his ,officers, raised from the ranks to the level of the most aristocratic families of Prance. The hero of the vaw!eville marries the daughter of a Marquis of the old riyiete, who, in his pliancy and sycophancy to the ruling power, dues not forgrt any of the prejudices of hereditary lineage. In these prejudices his daughter for a time participates, and despises the rough habits of the soldier of fortune, her consort, until, become familiar with his native nobility of character, and proud of his prowess and of his glory, she repasts, and determines to follow him away from all the frivolous scenes of Parisian fashion, and amidst all the trials of a military campaign. The hero was enacted by M. Derval, an actor of repute in Paris, and the heroine was Mdlle. Figeac, an estab lished favourite of the Palais Royal. But there was also M. Lemenil, who enacted the part of a rou;h, true-hearted old soldier of the empire, and, whatever the me:its of the two other per formers, he totally eclipsed them. We have seldom seen a more admirable portraiture ; it was full of life and individuality, replete with pathos, as well as broad humour, His soap were excellently delivered, and most justly encored. the great f ea t ure o f the night,. how ever, was the second vaudeville, a vaudeville in no less than three acts, which has had an extraordinary run in Paris, under the name of line Fievre .Brulante. The plot is too full of peripaies—too lengthy and involved—to allow any connected account of it. The hero, Richard Tremblay (Ravel) is a rich, eccentric young bachelor. He is consumed by l o v e f or t h e f a i r sex; b ut such is his timidity ; and his consequent fear of meeting with the objets of his dreams, th a t, at t h e i r approach, he is seized apparently with horror of their presence, and gives way to the harshest expressions of feigned dislike but of real terror. He is in love with his opposite neigh bour, whose name he knows not, and passes his time gazing at her from his window. Dire consequences arise from his astronomical observations of his ruling star. The young ladies of the milliner's establishment below think his glances are directed to one of them, and invade his retreat to solve the question, first—to his dismay—in their own costume, but they next coma dressed as young students, so that when subsequently he meets them at a ball he thinks they are boys disguised as girls. On the other hand, an old romantic dancer, who has married a Russian Count, takes Tremblay's love for her sister (twenty years younger) as being addressed to herself, and gives way to the most head long return of supposed affection, whilst her husband (Grassot) is no less headlong in his jealousy and ven geance. The u n f ortunate bachelor, besides his nervous timidity, baffled in his affections, c , eistantly labouring under the mist a k es or m i sapprehensions of others as well as his own, first tri es to s h oot himself; but, fortu nately, like the I r i s h man i n the old story, he shoots his image in a mi rror. Next he throws himself out of window, but falls in a mud cart. He encounters the repulses of his inamorata, the persecutions of the yo ung m i lliners, and th , se, still Iw:re terrible, of the old lady, together with the vengeance of the Russian Count. His happiness is, however, sealed at last by an adventure in a box at the Opera Comique, where he gets the Russian Count taken up by the police, by hiding in his box and imitating the barking of a dog, which he has a naturalleropensity to do, like a real canine quadruped, whenever he hears the pianoforte played upon. His sweetheart, the Countess's sister, accepts of his hand, to prevent the former, in her romance, eloping with him, and the Count, in his al arm , gladly contents to the ma t c h .

A new and original comic drama entitled Owns and Odd Coinemccs was acted for the first time on Satur day.

Ihmabv), with whom resides Mr. Christopher Token (Mr. Farren), an elderly bachelor, rich, silly, benevolent, nervous, and superstitious, who believes in signs and portents, ghosts,.casting of nati vities, and other astrological fa nc i es . hi s servant , F o il (Mr. Keeley), having had the advantage of University experience as a Gyp, b ecomes an academical rogne, and contrives to fat ten upon the l ean w i ts o f hi s master. Then there are Mr. Gorman Grub (Mr. Tilbury), a fat headed, rubicund-faced, s wollen-paunched gourmand; a Mr. Frederick Gayhurst (Mr. A. Wigan), a former pro visional director of various hypothetical railroads, who is deeply in debt, and seeking to victimise the ladies and gentlemen of Mre. P roven:ice's establishment, end last and least, Lionel Harlencourt (Mr. H. Vandenhoff), a, walking gentleman, d rawn out to infinitesimal tenuity, who makes love to an amorous walking lady, Emmeline Linden (Miss Harding). The ladies of the St. John's Wood boarding establishment are Mrs. l'itzmarshall (Mrs. Nisbett), an officer's widow, who breathes gun powder and talks congreve rockets; Miss l'rune (Mrs. Glover), a spinster on the shady side of forty, scientific and sinister, who affects system s and statistics; and Susan (Mrs. Keeley), a bustlin, intriguing, quaint, monthly warning. We must not forget Trace (Mr. Rogers), a sheriff's officer, and Mordax (Mr. Brindal), an individual with no character at all. Tie boarders. have a pic-sic up, the Taunus, et which the usual egreeabilities occur, e. g. broken bottles, spilt wine, mutilated pasties, absent cork-screws, and a thunder. storm.

Then there is the verus tomed pairing --a sudden match is concluded httweert Gaybkirst and the military widow, the young walking gentleman is united to the young walking- lady, and then came the final appeal to the audience, of whom some faintly applauded and some considerably Plissp i proved. A description of a siege, after the mz.tiner of the celebrated lines in the Love Chase, de!ivered by Mrs. Nisbett with great spirit, was much applauded. Mrs. Glover has a part totally unworthy her rennekable talent. The pic-nic on an lit on the Thames atit,rried opportunities for oddities of situation ; but a similar scene, in a piece called, we think, The Miter Party, performed during the Vestris regime at the Olympic, detracted from its novelty. A want of clearness and consocutiveness renders the piece ineff,ctive and weari some. The actors laboured zealously and the public were amiable and patient; but, without great conden sation, we opine that the new drama will never become an old one. It was not given out for repetitioc. --- COURT CIRCULAR.

OFFICIAL SALARIES.^CIIEAP ( ?) From a return recently obtain e d, it appears that the actual net increase of the number of appointments, and the amount of salaries in all public offices awl depart ments, since the passim; of the Act 4th ant sth Wil liam IV., c. 24, is 6,863 as regards the number of per sons. 184,3681. as regards the salaries, and 17,586/. as regards the emoluments ; 7,060 persons at salaries amounting to 260,0001. have been added to the esta blishment of the Post-office within the period of this account, for the purpose of affording increased facilities and accommodation to the public in the receipt and de livery of letters, &c. The account, iexclusive of the Post-office, would exhibit a diminution of 197 persons, and about .58,000/. per annum in salaries and emolu ments. ArreEneNsiox or GAM:MM.—For some time past it has been suspected that a very exteraive system of gambling has been carried on at 64A, St. James's-street. During the last week the police having had perva:e in forrnalion of the proceedings of the parties, have been on the qui vine, and about haV-past two yesterday (sundry) morning. Inspector Beresford, in company with a strong body or the force, rs , paired to the spo., taking• the newly- invented apparatus ter forcing the doors, &c., with them. Several persons were stationed in different parts of the street, evidently on the look out, and a signal was given upon the appearance of the polic, to warn the persons within the huildiog, in order that they might f frect au escape. This, however, proved ineffectual. The police advanced, the machine was put in action, ari.l the doors instantly broken open, when the whole pt the parties were at once captured, there being 16 in numb. r. The tables, dice-box, and other !gambling implea ents were also secured, and the parties were conveyed in cabs to the Vine street police station, but were almost immedi ately released on bail. Notwithstanding the early hour of the morning, hundreds of persons assemble.' round the house in a few minutes. SIR 11. I3ULIVER AND TIIE SPANISH GOVFIINMENT. -It is, we believe, beyond all doubt that the imputations cast by the Spanish Government on Sir Henry Bulwer, and assigned by it in defence of the violent measure taken against this country in the person of her accre dited envoy, are wholly unsupported by evidence entitled to consideration or belief. Whatever may have been the unfortunate state of feeling, which had existed from no very recent date, between the representative of the Bri tish Government in Madrid and the Spanish M,oisters, there is a total absence both of fact and of }:roof suffi cient to justify the most extreme proceeding, abort of war, which is known to the usages of nations. With a coarse precipitation, the Spanish Ministers have em ployed a remedy wholly unsuited to the occssien; and the two countries may be exposed to some of the incon veniences of a rupture from tho consummate misconduct of those eminent persons on both sides, %%hose primary. duty it was to maintain the ancient courtesy and to re spect their common interests. But if the English Minister is open to a charge of indiscreet interference, the Spaniards had no right to resent such impolitic conduct or unseasonable advice by a direct breach of the law of nations; and as yet the larger offence remains unredressed and unnoticed.— Times. DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GEriERAL GEORGE SAL. moN, R.A.—This general officer, the last surviving of 18 officers who received commissions in the Rftys I Artil lery on the 24th of May, 1781—arnongst K he•m were - Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, Lieutenant• Gene ral Millar.

The further arguments in this part-heard appeal occupied their Lordships the whole morning. CITIAERY.—(THIS DAY.) Nothing of any interest occurred in any of the Equity Courts this morning. SITTINGS. The LORD CHANCELLOR has issued a notice with respect to the sittings of the Courts, to the following effect. namely:—That the sittings would continue till the 10th of August; that there would be no sittings between the end of the present term and the first seal— the 24th. That after term the Courts would rise on Saturdays, at two o'clock, and that on Mondays the sittings would commence at eleven o'clock A.m., and end at four o'clock P.N. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco beforo Mr. Justice WicuTmex.) TEAN V. A BARRISTER OF THIS COURT. Mr. PARRY moved for a rule, calling upon a gentle man, a barrister, whose name his Lordship would find in the affidavit, to show cause why a certain warrant of attorney which had been given to him by the person on whose behalf he moved should not be cancelled, on the ground that it was given for an illegal consideration; and also why a further warrant of attorney should not be set aside for the same reason. It appeared that the person against whom he moved. being about to be called to the bar in 1843, consented to dispose of an office which he held as clerk to magistrates to Mr. Teen, for the yearly sum of 2001. for five years, the value of the office being worth 5001. a year. The first bond was set aside in order to destroy some suspicion which it was believed the magistrates entertained in consequnco of the person who held the office having recommended Mr. Tean as his successor. He ultimately was appointed. The second bond was subsequently given for the same consideration. The instalments not }toying been regu larly paid, and the applicants being 1501. in arrear, the defendant proceeded against him, entered up judgment by consent, and subsequently had been arrested on the strength of it, and he was at present in Whitecross street. He apprehended that the sale of the office, which was one of justice, was illegal, according to the Act of George 111., and that the vendor was liable, to be proceeded against for a misdemeanour. Under these circumstances the whole of the proceedings were invalid, and the applicant ought to be set at liberty. Mr. Justice WIGILTMAN considered that the Learned Counsel should have cited authorities in support of his application, and recommended him to do an, and to move the Court again; or in the meantime to bring the matter before the lull Court. He felt some doubt, under the circumstances, whether ho should comply with the motion. Ba r . i'mutY said he should look for authorities, and most likely mention the subject again. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) mAccnEc OR P. BARR E.TT.-LOAN S')CIETIES. This was a case of considerable importance to loan so cieties and their officers. The plaintiff was formerly secre tary to the " CalecloidA n Loan and Discount Society," and whilst holding that office 100/. was lent to the defendant, wlio'g-,tve a promissory note to the secretary, caking it payable, as is usual, to the secretary. S . hortly after the plaintiff ceased to be secretary, ana as the bill was not paid when it became due, an action was commenced by the secretary in his name, as their public officer at the time, and as the party to whom the bill was made payable. After the action had been commenced the plaintiff came to this court, in which it was proceeding, and protested against the action being brought in his name; but the Court decided that the society had a right so to proceed, giving him at the same time an in demnity against any costs being charged against him. Subsequently the defendant was arrested on the judgment thus obtained, and placed in Whitecross-street prison. The plaintiff, after the defendant had been there a short time, gave a discharge to the sheriff, and the defendant was accordingly liberated. The plaintiff subsequently framed an affidavit, which, however, was not tiled in sufficient time, stating that the society had acted op pressively. A rule was obtained a short time ago calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why an attachment should not issue against him, or why he should not pay the amount of the debt and costs. Mr:,PitaoT showed cause against the rule to-day, on the ground that the plaintiff had no intention to treat the Court with contempt, t h a t h e ac t e d i n i gnorance of the consequences that might ensue to him, and under the impression that, as the defendant was in custody at his suit, he could liberate him when he thought proper. Mr. White was on the other side, but the Court did not think it necessary to hear him. The COURT said the plaintiff had bren guilty of as gross a contempt of the process of the Court as had ever come under their observation. The Court having decided that the action should proceed in his name, and having given him an indemnity against the payment of costs, the plaintiff had taken upon him self to render all the proceedings of the Court impera tive. The rule for an attachment must be made abso lute; they thought it unnecessary to add the later portion of the rule. If when in custody he paid the debt, it would then be for the Court to consider whether or not they should punish him for contempt.
