The Parliament of 1847 dates from this day the close of its existence, having been prorogued by the SovfMEIGN prior to its formal dissolution. The cir cumstance cannot be regretted by the nation—re membering, as the people cannot fail to do, the extra cfrdlnaTy shortcomings of the recent House of Com mons. It was characteristic of th' dubious position of the re presentatives returned at the last general election by the various constituencies, that their legis lative labours commenced under the auspices of a Whig Cabinet in a minority, and terminated under the authority c f . a Tory Cabinet in a minority. Surviving en interval of five years, and accomplishing the Parliament of 1847 wit 1 30 less than six sessions, 11, ssed Its inauguration, under the fectrle •a%d v a i t l l4 temerity of the Pas ELL Goverhment, and beheld its dismissal, in 1852-, under the sc.:rcely leas feeble and vacillating rashness of the DERBY Admini s t ra ti on. achieve ments have consequently been distingui s h e d by a kindred weakness and a corresponding uncertainty. Whatever reforms have been yielded have been yielded only piecemeal and with reluctance. It must not be forgotten, in extenuation of this fact, however, that the period traversed since the hour of its first assembling at Westminster has been one of almost unexampled anxiety, and, in some particulars also, of unprecedented confusion. Scarcely had the disasters consequent upon the Irish famine been ameliorated by a wonderful and touching muni ficence, when the whole political framework of Europe was convulsed by the outbreak of a sudden and ter rible revolution. Against the shock of that revolu tion the Legislature of _Great Britain had to present a stalwort and unshaken front—and nobly, it must be allowed, did it in this respect fulfil the anticipation of the English multitude. It continued even at the stormiest periods of the great political convulsion to maintain a serene and elevated a ttitude—directing its energies to the toils of internal administration ; and while it vindicated the magna nimity of the Constitution by maintaining the invio lability of the shelter accorded refugees from foreign countries, it withstood the aggressive influences of the Socialist and Communist conspiracies. Among the historical incidents to be recorded of the Par liament of 1847, its sitting on the 10th of April, 1848, cannot speedily be lost to remembrance. Upon that occasion it preserved the tranquil dignity of discussion at the moment when the metropolis was agitated by the dread of in surrection. In all these critical situations, it must be related to the honour of the Whig Ministry, that the Legislature received the most powerful of all encou ragement through the self-possession of a hesitating, but still, on emergency, courageous and patriotic Government. Especially it must be borne in mind that the glory of the example of Ministerial daring thus set before the House of Commons belongs by right individually to Lord PALMERSTON. In spirited by the decision and boldness of his po licy, the Parliament persisted in supporting every act of his adminstration. For inasmuch as these facts are undeniable, the House of Commons elected in the summer of 18.17 —with all its faults— must be borne in respectful, and in some sort also, grateful remembrance. Conspicuous atnoag the achievements of the late Parliament was the abrogation of the laws relating to navigation. Tnis, it will be recollected, was a pru dent and necessary corollary to the inauguration of the Free Trade system. Besides this, it placed upon an equality sugar both foreign and co sd terbyi island. d e . ai e le tfLoma], added to whi c h it h as ma t er i a ll y i mproved eer o nen o lac r acu - xt l nem a id w be en rs:yidse haste mes estates singularly int i negsg l e un r l e icany l r a I t y t t d h — e facilitatedasn hastthehmemor ablee of the entail system in Scotland. It has adventured—however slowly or inadequat e ly—i t has adventured upon the begin ning of some real sanitary improvements. It has countenanced, moreover, the enormous efforts made by Lord BliouGinem and others with a view to a thorough Legal Reformation. As to its efforts in the cause of education, we cannot but think that they are so infinitesimal in their character as to be abso lutely worthless for any good they may be expected to produce. Partial efforts in reference to colo nial and financial reforms have only so far benefited the country, that they have awakened the knowledge of the community to the necessity of some speedy and comprehensive innovations. In this respect, as preliminary to the House of Com mons about to be elected early in the autumn of 185 - >, the Parliament of 1847 cannot but be regarded as one, the labours of which are a veritable source of satisfaction. Therefore it is that we have witnessed its final pro rogation, and await its immediate dissolution, not without some kind of grateful appre ciation—but with a sense of pleasure which bids us look forward with no feeble degree of interest to the nomination and selection of the new representatives. Lord BROUGHAM'S recommendation that a Royal Commission should forthwith issue for the purpose of inquiring into the practice and jurisdiction of the county courts, is, like every other suggestion on matters of legal reform emanating from the same quarter, eminently worthy of consideration. It is now certain that local tribunals cannot be dis pensed with, that whatever improvements may be effected in the superior courts, still justice must be administered in every important locality, so that debts may be recovered without unneces sary delay or expense. There cannot now be a retrograde movement. Measures that would formerly have been received with gratitude, and have completely satisfied the expectations of the people, would not for a moment be considered as eligible substitutes for the enactments which, although defective in many important particulars, still " brought justice home" to every man's threshold. The great object then must be to render these tri bunals as efficient as possible and to make available to the greatest extent practicable the services of the several judges, whose attention will no longer be dis tracted by private business, and the necessity of de voting the greater portion of their time to attendance in Westminster Hall, far from the district in which the tribunals over which they preside are situate. There can be no possible reason now why the seve ral judges should not become residents within their respective jurisdictions, and, like the Irish assistant barristers, s,j-officio magistrates of the counties. Their assistance at quarter-sessions would be exceedingly valuable. There would be the cer tainty that one or more competent persons would take part in every trial, and the jurisdiction under such circumstances m i ght b e materially extended, by c'hich me ans cons id era bl e s avings would be eff ec t e d in loc a l taxatio n , and greater security against illegal or improper convictions. The fee system s hould also be abolished. There is a general be gratuitcu s l a br oa d that justice should adminstered, that every person wh o has been in jured in person or property should be e n titl ed to redress, without being mulcted in heavy fe es t o a number of different officials. It would seem exceedingly strange if any English sub ject, who had been grossly maltreated by the agents of some foreign power, cold no t h ave his case taken into consideration, o r explanations afforded, without handing over considerable sums all to at doorkeepers, and other functionarie s the housekeepers, Downing street, together with a gratuity e of the Foreign Secretary ; andthat the coachman" and applications should b e stamped before they are laid before the officials. It would ‘ i ' s memorials ap extraor dinary mode of affording " protectionta: an to compel them to pay for it so h eE Z citizens defray a considerable portion of the expensesY as to diplomatic and consular establi s h men t s, and the y et fee system in our courts of justice i s scarcely more anomalous. No suitor can seek relief without payi ng heavy stamp duty, or other fees, and, if hi s case should come to trial, fees to court keepers, ushers, criers, &c., and if in the Exchequer, to the Lord Chief Baron's coachman. It was the number and magnitude of these stamp', fees, and other charges, that first occa sioned the demand for cheap justice. But the evil was continued in the remedial enactments. The Legislature fell into the grave mistake of endeavour ing to make the local establishments self-supporting, forgetting that the entire fee system had been so loudly and generally complained of, and that the tendency of modern legislation was to substitute salaries for fees in every instance, and that the country had no right to look for any payment what soever, more especially to realise a profit, on the administration of ju s ti ce or criminally. Lord BROUGHAI: either civilly truly declared " that the Government was bou n d to afford protection on this point to the subject in return for his alle giance." We may add, in return for the surrender of a certain portion of his national liberty and his contribution to the liquidation of the national liabi lities, and to the maintenance of the national es tablishments. CRESSWELL, WIGIITMAN, ERLE, and WILLIAMS, , Un der the provisions of the Act, it is provided (Re , g. 19) in what manner the debtor may avail himself of a discharge under any Act for the relief of in 3 olvent debtors, and yet (after judgment) a everal judges habitually disregard the plea. In a recent instance, a party had been distil arged after a strict and searching inve sti);ation into his conduct. Among the opposing credi to; :s was one who had obtained a judgment in a county court. His complaints were heard, and deem ed not sufficient to warrant the further incarceration of the debtor. Not satisfied, however, with the rel ;ult he issued a judgment summons, and althol4 ch the adjudication of the Judge of the Insolvent Co . art was proved, and also the fact of the attendance of the plaintiff at the hearing, an order of commitmi for, we believe, forty days was made, the Judg e thus assuming a power not belonging to any Of the Judges of the superior Courts. It has also recently been held, that although there may be a reheat'ag after the adjudication of any of the Learned Commi, sioners, whose entire timellas been devoted to aciai r i a g a thorough knowledge of the insolvent code, there can be no appeal from, or rehearing of one, by a county-court judge, however palpably erro neous his decision may be. These and other matters require speedy amendment, an d in no mode is the desideratum more likely t o be effected than in that suggested by Lord BRO1101"31--- the immediate issuing of a Royal Commissio n similar to that of last year on th e su bj ect of Chan cery Reform. THE FRENCH RaTi3Lic. We have received the Paris journals o f yesterday The Constitutionnel of yesterday has the following on the message of the PRINCE PRESID EN T to the Le gisUtive Body : a There is one fact that must be stated and that is the lively impression produced, in th e ne bi:e mina by the . message' which the President of the' 11 met Assemblywi th u . n vi c h n i i E s u hh s aasi hi marksjb, es ..t e pnblic has i t l s " adhesionon. i n I t t h h a e d E a i l e r o e t a i already addressed to the Legislative Body for the close of its fl oo r ; L sessi terminated its labours. Opinions, w hich ware of calling hostile, but divergent, have Shown tem selves in this first year among the mum"— of t h e . Le gislative Body. Listened to and respected, they have proved in the first place, as was stated in the . message, that the control of the Legislative Body i 3 ser it? Li that the ' taxes discussion is there free, and that the vote- i- of that there is the:e decisive.

' In the interval of the ems -1 sion,' says the P . .-ince President, ' I shall apply all my y, care to examine into the wants of th e co and pre ontr pare bills which will . permit a dimiTtn in the tio charges of the State without compromising. the public service.' Such expressions sa d such p romises are cal culated to remove every mi strust Th e r elations between the Legislative Body and t h e Counc il of State have , siren the best results, p art i cularly towar d s the en_d . t The the session; a good un d erstanding was co ma to. Th speeches of M. Vuitry on the budget, of M. Bonjean on the Ministry of Gene ra l P olies, and p articuLrly that of M. Magee on the Railway Bills, charmed and c elviaced the Legislative Body. Applause i s D ever wanting in France for such a h appy alliance of honesty and talent. The first session of the Legislative Body and the mes sage of Louis Napoleon will reanimate, if it be neces sary, in every heart, confidence in the future, and those sentiments of conciliation and coucord which vanquished factions and the implacable enemies of society so much dreaded." The Senate met on Tuesday, M. MESNARD, the first Vice-President, in'Ahe chair. M. SimEoN presented the report of the committee appointed to examine the tobacco monopoly bill, and the house having at once discussed the articles, declared that there was no rea son to op tepose it being p romu lgated. The various bills adopd by the L eg i s l a ti ve Body were then brought up, and committees ordered to be named on them. SOlllO reports on petitions having been pre • sented, the sittin g was brought to a close. A great number of the members of the Legislative Body assembled on the same evening at the Casino in the Chausee d'Antin, at a farewell banquet. Up wards of 150 bat down to dinner, and the utmost cor diality and good,feeling prevail e d . At th e d esser t, M. BILLAULT, the President of the Legislative Body, proposed the health of Prince Louis NAPOLEON, which was drunk with unanimous marks of appro bation. The Sedate will remain at work for about a fort night longer, es it has to give its approbation to the bills adopted by the Legislative Body, and to delibe rate on the two Senatus Consults submitted to it— one on the High Court of Justice, and the other on the constitution of th e colonies. Several members of the Senate were anxious to leave Paris at once, but orders were issued not to give passports to any but those who had a regular leave of absence. It is believed that the next session of the Legisla tive Body will take place about the end of January. The Government, to that effect, is about to hasten the vacation of the Council of State, which used gene rally to begin about the commencement of Septem ber. This year the time will be from August 15 to October 15, as LOUIS NAPOLEON is anxious that the Council of State should have three clear months before it to prepare the bills which he intends to submit to the Legislative Body on its re-assembling, The budget for 1854 is not to be prepared by the Ministers, but by the Council of State. The Patrie says it is assured that the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic will honour with his presence the inauguration of the Strasbourg railroad, which is fixed for the 17th July. The celebrated physician, M. RECAMIER, died almost suddenly, on Monday night, in Paris. He was in his 78th year. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE I LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNK 30.

It is added that he has informed the Hungarian refugees in London that he is raising a new loan of large amount, for the next insurrection. General PEncznn, who was of the principal cons_ menders in the last affair, is represented to be op. posed to the raising of loans. There is another point in relation to these tri bunals that should also be strictly scrutinized.

HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I am induced by consith of public policy to release you at an earlier period than usual from your legislative duties. The zeal and diligence, ho never, with which you have applied yourselves to your Parliamentary labours, have enabled me, in this comparatively short Session, to give my assent to many measures of high importance, and, I trust, of great and perma nent advantage. I receive from all Foreign Powers assurances that they are animated by the most friendly disposi tions towards this country and I entertain a confi dent hope that the amicable relations happily sub sisting between the priocipal Europeon States may be so firmly established a. 5, under Divine Providence, to secure to the world a long continuance of the bles sings of Peace. To this great end my attention will be unremittingly directed. I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of Holstein and Schleswig,. by the general concur rence of the Powers chiefly interested, has removed one cause of recent differenc e and of future anxiety. The amicable termination of the discussions which have taken place between the Sublime Porte and the Pacha of Egypt afford a guarante e for the tranquillity of the East, an d an encouragement to the extension of commercial en terprise. The refusal on the part of the King of Ava, of redress, justly demanded for insults and injuries offered to my subjects at Rangoon, has necessarily led to an interruption of friendly relations with that So vereign. The promptitude and vigour with which the Governor-General of India has taken the mea sures thus rendered una , voidable, have merited my entire approbation ; and I am confident that you will participate is the satisfaction with which I have observed the conduct of the naval and military forces,, European and Indian, by whose valour and discipli tie the important captures of Rangoon and Maztaban have been accomplished ; and in the hope which entertain that these signal successes may lead to an , '..!arly :and honourable peace. Treaties have been concluded by my naval com manders with the Kieg of Dahomey and all the African chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight of Benin, for the totza abolition of the Slave Trade, which is at present wholly suppressed upon that coast. I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to the measure which you have wisely adopted for the better organisation of the Militia ; a constitutional force, which being limited to purposes of internal de fence, can afford no just ground of jealousy to neighbouring Powers ; but which, in the event of any sudden and unforeseen disturbance of my foreign relations, would at all times contribute essentially to the protection and security of my dominions. GENTLEMEN OF THH HOVSE OF COMMONS, I thank you for the liberal provision which you have made for the exigencies of the public service. The expenditure which you have authorised shall be applied with a due regard to economy and efficiency. The recent discoveries of extensive gold-fields have produced, in the Austrian Colonies, a temporary disturbance of society, requiring prompt atten tion. 1 have taken such steps as appeared to me most urgently necessary for the mitigation of this serious evil. I shall continue anxiously to watch the important results which must follow from these dis• coveries. I have willingly concurred with you in an Act, which, by rendering avail a bl e t o t h e service of those Colonies the portion arisi ng w ithi n t h em, of the Hereditary Revenue placed a t th e di sposal of Par liament on my accession to the Throne, may enable them to meet their necessarily increased expenditure. Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have gladly assented to the important Bills which you have passed for effecting reforms, long and anxiously desired in the practice and proceedings of the Superior Courts of Law an d E qu i ty, and generally for improving the administration of justice. Every measure which simplifies the forms, and dimi nishes the delay and expense of legal proceedings, with out introducing uncertainty of decision, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lowering the high standard Judicial Bench, is a valuabl e b oon conferred I hope that the measures which yo u h ave afop the upon the community at large. ted for promoting extramural interment of the dead, and for improving the supply of water, may bs found effectual for the remedy of evils the ex istence of which has long been a reproach to this great metropolis, and may conduce to the health and comfort of its inhabitants. The extension of popular rights and legislative powers subjects resident i n th e co l on i es, i s always o to an object of deep i n t eres t ; an d I t 1 n m ye trust that the representative institutions which. in concert w ith you, I have sanctioned for N ew Zealand, may promote the welfare a n d con t entment of the populatio n of that di stant but most in terestingatt aehent t coloony, my and confirm their l oya l ty and Crown. It is my intention , without delay, to dissolve this p resen t Parliament, and it i s m y earnest prayer, that in the exercise of the high func tions which according to our free Constitution will devol v e upon the several constit uenc i es , they may be directed by an all-wise Providence t o the selecti on o f representatives, whose wisd om an d patriotism may a id me in my unceasing endeavours to sustain the honour and dignity of my Crown, to uphold th e P ro t es tant institutions of th e country, and th e c i v il an d religious liberty, whi c h i s t h e i r natural result ; to extend and improve the National condition, a n d th ere by p Education ; t o d ev elope and encourage Industry, A r t , and Scie nce; an d t o elevate the mor a l an d soc i al romote the welfare an d hap my pines of people. to THE P ARLIAMENTARY S ESSION OF 1852.—The sth a brief one, has en d ure d session of th e 1 5th and 16th Victoria, who se career termi nateslonger than a t one perio d cou ld have b een an ti c i pated.

The House of Commons has sa t d ur i ng that period on e i ghty d a ys, their sittings occupying i n a ll 58 0 hours, or an average of 74 hours each.

The following correspondence, which has taken place between two of the Justices of the Peace for the county of Hants, and Lord Dudley Stue►rt, respecting the Polish refugee Leopold de Rose, was read in the House of Commons yesterday by the Noble Lord From one of the Justices of the Peace for the county of Hants : "Ji 2, 1852. My Lord,--I had a visit yesterday fro me m Lieutenant Chas. Szulezewski and Mr. De Rose. Tne former came to make inquiries of me respecting Mr. De Rose's im prisonment for begging, &c. I can only say I consider he has been shamefully used by Captain Hamilton, who resided at Anglesey, near Gos port, and who is now appointed to a ship at Wool wich. My brother magistrate, Dr. Hillyer, could do no more than imprison Mr. De Rose, as Cap Olin Hamilton swore, that he wandered abroad to beg wad gather alms contrary to the form of the Statute is 'inch case made, 84c., &c. Now it does appear to me to be a very extra ordinary thing that Mr. De Rose shou'A beg of Captain Hamilton, when I well know that Yir. De Rose could get 51. or 101. whenever he liked to, ask for it, by writ ing to a neighbour of mine, one 'A the first families in the county, but he has never lion® so. Moreover the policeman took Mr. De Rose into custody, without a warrant and without seeing ask alms. " I am, my Lord, " " To Lord D u dl ey S tuart, M You P r obedient servant..." From Thomas Hoskins, Esq., lately Tithe Com missioner, and now auditor of the accounts of the guardians of the poor at Gosport, Portsmouth, and the Isle of Wight : " Gosport, June 26, 1852. "My Lord,—At the request of my excellent friend the) Mayor of Southampton, I have felt great pleasure in ac companying Lieutenant Charles Sauleaewski and Mr. Leopold De Rose to the several places of abode of Mr. Tilston, Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Bidet), Captain Blake, Mr. Meggs, Mr. Welch, Miss Slane, and Miss Nott, all of whom I have known for many years as most highly re spectable people. And I can assure your Lordship that I Piave heard with great delight the testimony which er,ch of those ladies and gentlemen gave to the character r,nd deportment of Mr. Leopold De Rose, who, although reduced to the necessity of offering his articles for sale, always did so with the marked conduct of a highly honourable man and a gentleman. Ile was immediately recognised by each, was most pleasantly received by all, and deeply sympathi se d w i th for the manner in which be had been treated, which, as some did not hesitate to state, was " a disgrace to the country." So far from begging, one lady stated that she had offered him two shillings for an article of one shilling value, which he most honourably declined to take. "The result is most satisfactory to my mind that Mr. De Rose has behaved in this neighbourhood in a manner highly creditable to himself and his country, and that he is entitled to the esteem and the sympathy of all who detest tyranny and oppression.

A petite comedie, in one act, entitled A Novel Expe. dient, was brought out last night with unequivocal sue eess. Three persons only are involved in the action. The principal of those is Mrs. Charles Moore (Mrs. Stirling), who is greatly annoyed by the addition to her coinage of an intimate friend of her husband, named Damon (Mr. Leigh Murray). This intruder criticises her drawings, gives his opinion as to the paper which should decorate the drawing room, and, what is more than all, constantly takes out her husband on fishing expeditions. She hints to Charles (Mr. Howe) that D amon ' s d e p ar t ure wou ld b e acceptable, but finds him inexorable on the point. She, there fore, resolves to employ some new device, and is furnished with a hint in a letter from an absent aunt, who always wishes to uphold the domestic supremacy of woman. The good aunt counsels her, by reference to an epi so d e i n L esage, to declare to Damon that she is secretly enamoured of him, and that there fore he is bound, es a man of honour, to quit the house. Damon at first falls into the trap, and is actually going, when he picks up the aunt's letter by accident, and per ceiving the real state of the case alarms Mrs. Moore by feigning a reciprocal passion. A little unpleasant alter cation with the husband ensues, but an explanation clears up all difficulties, and Mrs. Moore, cured of her love of domination, resolves not to disturb her husband's friendship for Damon. The piece is elegant and well written, and, excellently played as it is by Mrs. Stirling, M r. effect L effeeigct h Murray, and Mr. Howe, produces an agree . IN G, JIT L Y 1, 1852.

(From the Register-General's Report.) In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths registered in the metropolitan districts were 990. Ir, the ten weeks corresponding to last week of the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 952 which, with a corre c ti on f or i ncrease of population' during these year s an d up to the present time, be s comes 1,047. Th e mor t a li ty of last week i- fore, less tha n th e est i mated amount by 57.

Five women sunk undet puerperal fever, besides five others to whom other diseases incidental to childbearing were fatal. _ Two deaths from cholera occurred on the same day, the 20th June, and were registered as follows : At 1, Pelham-street, Mile-end New Town, the daughter of a bricklayer, aged 4 months, died of " cholera (2 days)." At 116, Wentworth -street, Whitechapel North, the daughter of a fur-dyer, aged 5 years, died of " Eng lish cholera (48 hours)." Of 9 deaths ascribed to the organs of locomotion in the present return 1 was caused by arthritis, 5 b y rheumatism, a n d 3 by undefined diseases of the joints. Of the 24 lives destroyed by small-pox last week 20 were those of children, 4 those of adults. It is reported in three cases that the sufferers had been previously vaccinated, and the ages of these were 7, 21, and 28 years. At 222, High-street, Shadwell, on 23d June, the daughter of a beer -shop keeper, aged one year and 6 months, died of " small-pox, not vac cinated, no 'medical attendant." Mr. Ross, the Registrar, adds, " I regret to state that this loath some disease still continues very rife in my district." At 18, Bethnal-green road, on 25th June, the son of a weaver, aged 7 years, died of " confluent small-pox ( 16 days)." Mr. Briggs states that "he had been successfully vaccinated ; two other children living with the above were also vaccinated, and have not been affe c t e d." At the Homoeopathic Hospital, 32, Golde n - square, on the 13th Ju ne , a f emale servant, aged 21, died of " variola confluent (7 weeks), laryngitis and larnygeal abscess (7 days)." Post znort.

CCLVI. REMARKS ON THE RACING AT CARLISLE AND CHELMoFORD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—A curious misstatement crept yesterday into my remarks on Chief Justice's running for the Free Handicap, at Carlisle ; somehow or other the words "fast grey colt Puritan" were, by some extraordinary means, transmuted into " fast filly Lady Agnes." The error must have been palpable, however, to ali racing men, as the Return Lists only gave four starters, and Lady Agnes's name did not figure amongst them. Davison yesterday brought his much-talked-of Red Lion out, for the first time, to win the Cumberland Plate, which he did very cleverly, from Liudrick and several others. He is spoilt for the Ebor Handicap, by the town talk having caused him to be weighed at sst 121 b, a very heavy appreciation of his merits in my opinion. He will probably be struck out for that race. His chance at Goodwood is not altogether bad, but at the weight I should prefer Ileu. lakin. The Hylands Stakes at Chelmsford decided merits of Pug Orrock; for, after one of the prettiest races of the season, Vaultress, carrying Bst 101 b, just managed to defeat Pug Orrock and Defiance, which last two carried Bst 71b each, and ran a dead heat for second place by a head; that head, in my opinion, being Alfred Day's more than the filly's. It is very evident that through Vaultress having been prepared so early in the season she is already beginning to grow stale, and probably will get worse and worse every race she runs, spoiling likewise her chance of doing anything good next season. In the olden times two years old racing commenced with the Newmarket July Meeting, instead of in March, as is now the case. In this particular I think the Tarfites of the past generation had the start of us in wisdom, for no practical racing man can deny that it mint damage the future chances of a race-horse by being brought out at two years old so early as March. I did intend publishing my comments on the July Meeting to-d ay, b ut for very potent reasons l am ob. liged to defer the same until tomorrow. --I am, &c. July 1, 1852. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF very poor persons, who live in localties without tho ronglifiqe, and where the draini:ge and ventilation are bad. Nine children were registered, who at various previous dates had been suffocated in bed. Mr. Simpson, Rt.gistar of the North sub-district of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, registered four deaths that had occurred in this manner at the respective ages of 3 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, and 9 months, on Ist, 2d, sttr, and Bth of May. He refers to the fact that inquests were held on the same day on three out of the four cases. On the 22d June, at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, a copper filer and turner, aged 18 years, died of "c ar b uncu l ar i nflammation of the upper lip." A widow, aged 73 years, died of " inflamma tion of the right arm from the prick of a pin." At 11, Globe-road, Bethnal-green, the widow of a mast maker, is reported to have died on 18th June at the great, age of 100 years and 2 months. Fire persons were vgistered as the victims of imtemperance, be sides two others whose deaths were indirectly caused by the same vicious habit. he STATE OF THE WEATPIER DURING THE PAST WEEK.

DREADFUL MURDER A T SAWLEY. (From the Derby Mercury of yesterday.) On the eve of our going to preps, we have received in formation of a fearful crime which was perpetrated yes terday (Tuesday), at a lone cottage in the neighbour hood of Sawley. The particulars which we have at present been able to obtain are necessarily very meagre; but, from what we can gamer, the following is something like an outline of the facts i— t,: appears that an elderly couple, of the name of Waters or Walters, lived in a solitary cottage upon Mr. Thompson's farm, in the la E e b etween S awley and Wilne, and a b out midway from either place. The husband, a labourer, was employed in hoeing turnips on the farm, and his wife—a woman of about 60 years of age—had been, in the morning, to Dreycott, shopping. See must, on her return, have found the culprit in the cottage, for the flour and other articles which she had been purcitaeing were found on the door-step outside; and the supp osit i on i s that she had found the mur derer in the act o f p l undering the house, and that he mint immediately have commenced the attack upon her. Some boys were in the neighbourhood at the time, and one of them, about 14 or 15 years old, hear ing a noise, went to the cottage, where he saw a strange man beating the poor old woman with a hatchet or some other heavy weapon. Thu man caught sight of him, and said ho would stick him; and the boy imme diately ran off to Wilne Mills to give an alarm. A num ber of people immediately hastened from thence, and on their arrival they found the windows and furniture of the house had been smashed, and the strange man was still inside. A woman had also seen him beating the poor creature, and had gone away alarmed ; and another boy, who had turned back from his associate, had seen him carry the body across the yard. He had, however, found time to bury the body in a dung-heap, but a portion of one leg remained un covered, which led to its discovery. The murderer had placed an inverted trough over his head. He resisted for some time boy threw a stone all ingress into th e cottage; but a throughand one hit Chime window-panes which had be e n b ro k en, over the eye, caueing a severe wound and knocking him down. He was at once seized and placed in safe custody, The body of the murdered female was quite cold when found. She appeared to have been dreadfully beaten about the head and face. The murderer is an entire stranger to the neighbourhood, and he refuses to give his name, hbeigahh.ouHt 2 e s h y ad ea n rs o ocioda,tr waistcoat, though he says he comes from Suffolk. He appears to five fe et shoes,eeven or or ei but he wore a checked shirt and trousers. The dread gs h t o t c i k n i e n h g e s s , Ail occurrence seems to have taken place about half-past one o'clock in the afternoon. A hatchet was afterwards found in th© yard. The floor of the house was co vered with blood, and some human hair was found on the wall. He refused to say anything about the crime, but appeared to the byatanders either drunk or insane. We understand that Mr. Whiston, coroner for the dis trict, received information of the off offence in the evening,- and that he at once proceeded to Sawley. A CORSICAN HUSBAND. An arrival from Corsica (everybody is arriving thence just now, for that little island has become quite the fashion) has filled the salons of Paris with a fresh interest ; the more so as it is understood that this coming man is anything but, welcome in high quarters. A few years ago Count A------. was in possession of the three things most dear to the heart of man in every clime under the sun, namely, great consideration, a magnificent estate, and a lovely wife. Of all these the estate alone re mains ; and it is evidently to re-acquire the other two that he has made the j o urney to P ar i s, i n search of the prefectur® i n Corsica. The story is so peculiarly Corbican soil, that it is really worth relating. The Count married in 1846, not only one of the richest heiresses, but, moreover, the greatest beauty in the island. For two years the "happy couple" seemed to live in the enjoyment of every species of bliss which matrimony never fails to promise its victims before surrender. The Count was all ten derness and attention, the Countess all devotion and confidence. Nothing occurred to mar their happi ness save flow and then some slight difference of opinion, which would arise, always upon trifling subjects though, between the Count and his younger his quarters at the Chateau d'A-- brother, an officer d:ao who had taken up during his six months leave of absenc e from his regiment. This slight tendency to disagreement was, however, always soothed with so much grace and tenderness by the Countess, that the harmony of the ménage could scarcely be said to be distu r b e d b y these accidental false notes, and everything went on as smoothly as ever after the departure of the young dragoon had left the husband and wife to their solitude once more. however, a motive o f anxiety manife s Shortly, ted it se lf i n t h e parent cause declining h her health of the young w if e.

The dreaded moment at length arrived, the priest had performed the last kind offices for the peace departing soul, and then the lovely young Countess begged sak with her hu s b an d alone. He approached the b to edsi pe de, overcome with grief. She had wished to thank him before she left him for ever for all his kindness and unfailing confidence in her, and to confess with the deepest regret and humiliation that she had been, not withstanding all his indulgent love, the most de praved, the most miserable of sinners. " Oh, forgiv me," ex c l a i med she ; " I have been unfaithful to my e vows. I have loved another. I have deserved this early death."
