The adjourned sessions for the county of Surrey com menced this morning, at the Sessions-house, Newington, before Thomas Puckle, Esq., and a bench of magistrates. The calendar contained only twenty-three prisoners for trial, and a great many of the offenders were countrymen charged with petty thefts. Janes Cookeland, 16, was indicted for stealing a bottle of wine, the property of Maria Mason. The prosecu trix kept a grocer's shop in Old Kent-road, and sold British wines. John Evans saw, on Friday last, five lads walking about Mrs. Mason's shop. One of them entered the place and took a - bottle of wine, which he handed to one of the others. He pursued them, but they all escaped except the pri soner, whom he stopped, and found the bottle of wine in his possession. He gave him into the custody of a policeman. The bottle of wine was identified. The jury found him Guilty, and The COURT sentenced him to three months' hard labour in Guildford House of Correction. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) EMBARKATION OF HER MAJESTY FOR IRELAND. COWES, AUGUST 1, 1849. At one o'clock this day the following steam-ships left our roadstead for Mede-hole,-and came to directly off Osborne Palace :—the Royal yacht, Victoria and Albert, being the nearest in shore, the Sphinx, Strom boli, Black Eagle, and Vivid lying farther out, and a little more to the eastward. Her Majesty left the palace at three o'clock, and embarked from Osborne Beach. At twenty minutes past three the Castle and Royal Yacht Squadron House commenced saluting. There were about thirty foreign ships in the roads—Russian, American, Dane, and German vied with each other in making a dis play ; these ships were all gaily dressed out in honour of Briton's Queen, as were the different yachts and merchant shipping, and various flag-staffs along the whole line of the harbour. The royal yacht was followed by her Majesty's steam-ships Sphinx, Vivid, Black Eagle, and Strom boli, the latter having the royal carriages on board. The day was beautifully fine, the sea almost as smooth as glass, a light air drawing from the westward, and the tide also making to the eastward. The yachts could not follow the royal party. It was at one time reported that the steamers would not proceed further than Hurst Castle to-night, re main inside the Wight till three o'clock to-morrow morning, then proceed on to Falmouth, and remain there to-morrow night; as now arranged, they will steam on to Cork, and will, therefore, arrive before they are expected. The Earl and Countess of Wilton and family have ar rived at Grove House for the season; Sir Horam Sey mour and familyat Belmore House; Spencer de Horsey, Esq., at the 7th West Cliff Cottage ; C. R. M. Talbot, Esq., at the Bth Cottage. The Marquis and Mar chioness of Ailesbury are expected to-morrow at Norfolk House; the Earl and Countess of Glengall at Harriet-lodge. Earl Fitzhardinge has taken a house on the South Parade. The Duke of Marlborough has taken the Small Pavilion ; Lord ;Crofton, Beach Cottage ; the Hon. Mrs. Spalding a house in the Bath-road; Captain M'Taggart, Busigney House ; and Lady Lyttleton, Oakfield Lodge. Mr. and Lady Mary Vyner leave Grantham House on Wednesday next. EMBARKATION OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT FOR IRELAND, AND THE ROYAL PROGRESS. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite embarked yesterday on board the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., at half-past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the different members of the Court and household, the servants, attendants, &c., having also embarked, the Victoria and Albert, with the Royal standard at the main, proceeded, under a salute, from Cowes Castle, en route to Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and Greenock. With the Victoria and Albert were the following steam-vessels, under the command of Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence :—The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Com mander Lord A. W. Beauclerk ; the Sphinx, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hewlett; the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-Commander Cook ; and the Vivid, steam-packet, Master-Commander Smithett. One of the men-of-war sloops proceeded ahead of the Royal yacht, and the other followed astern, the smsller vessels being stationed on the quarters of the stately Victoria and Albert. The Royal squadron got into regular order soon after starting, and proceeded at a very good speed towards the Needles, betokening a fair, happy, and prosperous passage for our beloved Sovereign in this her Majesty's first visit to the Emerald Isle. It was arranged that the Royal squadron should bring up for the night in Yarmouth roads yesterday, in the same beautiful locality in which the Royal squadron of 1837 anchored on her Majesty's visit to the Clyde, but the weather being so very fine it was not at all improbable that the Royal squadron would go on as far as Weymouth last night, and leaving that anchorage at daylight this morning, and carrying the fine weather with them, go right on to Cork without stopping at any intermediate port. At Cove, the commander-in-chief, Rear-Admiral Manley Dixon, has made his dispositions for receiving the Royal squadron. The Admiralty left it to the choice of the gallant and respected admiral to shift his flag from the Crocodile to any other ship that might be there ' • and it was expected that his selec tion would fall upon the Ganges, 84, Captain Smith, C.B. He would then have under his orders that ship and Hogue, 60, screw-decker, Captain Macdougall, and the Arrogant, 46, screw- frigate, Captain Robert Fitz Roy, if he should arrive in time from the Medi terranean, to fire royal salutes on the arrival of the Victoria and Albert. We have already reported the arrival of her Majesty's screw yacht tender Fairy, Master-Com mander Welsh, at Cove. That vessel, together with the Trident, 2, steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Risk, the Lucifer, 2, Lieut. Commander E. A. T. Lloyd, and the Banshee steam-vessel, Master-Com mander W. Smithett, now assembled at Cove, will also be under the orders of Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, and form part of the Royal squadron on the coast of Ireland. The Commander-in-Chief at Cork will most likely attend on her Majesty in the royal visit to Cork, but he will not accompany the squadron on its departure from Cove to Dublin. The royal squadron, on leaving Cove, will be com posed of all the above-named vessels, with the excep tion of the Ganges, the Hogue and Arrogant being transferred to Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence's command. Commander Wolfe, who has been surveying at Valentia, has been recalled from his surveying duties, and is in readiness at Cove to pilot her Majesty in and out of Cork Harbour. It is not improbable that the Queen may visit Waterford en route from Cork to Dublin, either from choice or from stress of weather; and to provide for such a casualty, Commander G. A. Frazer, surveying on the south-east coast, in the Sparrow ketch, has been directed to hover near the Saltees, so as to be in readiness to pilot the royal squadron into Waterford Harbour. Off Kingstown the royal squadron will be received by the Dragon, 6, steam-frigate, Captain W. H. Hall, the gallant captain assisting to place and anchor the royal vessels, the following then forming the royal naval cortige of steamers : YACHTS AND PACKETS. Victoria and Albert royal yacht, Captain Lord A. Fit zclarence . Fairy, screw-tender to ditto, Master Com. Welch. Black Eagle Admiralty yacht, Master Com. Cook. Banshee steam-packet, Master Cora. W. Smithett. Vivid steam-packet, Master Cora. L. Smithett. MEN-OF-WAR ESCORT. The Hogue, 60 guns, 500 men, screw two-decker, Captain M'llougall. The Arrogant, 46 guns, 450 men, screw frigate, Cap tain R. Fitzroy. The Dragon, 8 guns, 200 men, frigate, Captain W. IL Hall. The Sphinx, 6 guns, 160 men, sloop, Commander Hewlett. The Stromboli, 6 guns, 160 men, sloop, Commander Lord A. Beauclerk. The Trident, 3 guns, 65 men, gun-vessel, Lieutenant Risk. The Lucifer, 2 guns, 55 men, gun-vessel, Lieutenant E. Lloyd. On the departure of the Royal squadron from Dublin all the above-named vessels will proceed to some dis tanee with her Majesty, when the Hogue, Arrogant, and Dragon will part company with the royal standard and proceed to Devenport. The squadron will then go on to Belfast, and thence to Greenock ; and after the debarkation of her Majesty and Prince Albert, the royal yacht, with the Fairy, Stromboli, and Sphinx, will return to Portsmouth ; the Lucifer and Trident, to Cork; the Banshee, to Holyhead ; the Vivid, to Dover ; and the Black Eagle, to Devonport, to await the orders of the Admiralty. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY NlGHT.—Never has a Sovereign of this empire prepared to visit Ireland in so quiet and unostentatious a manner as that which her Majesty this day adopted since the time George IV. crept on board the little Holyhead steam•packet and fought his way to the royal carriage through the unruly crowds at the obscure harbour of Howth. The departure of our monarchs for that country hitherto has been signalised by all the pomp and circumstance of war, with a single exception. A countless flotilla of half-decked boats, filled with archers and men-at-arms, set forth from some stirring port on the west to accompany their King on a mission of conquest and subjection, or a fleet of high-pooped caravels laden with grim Puritans or gay Jacobites and Cavaliers, swept across the channel, to make Ireland a battle-field, in which victory was a sure token of disaster to thou sands of inhabitants. Whether as King, Protector, or Pretender, the armed representative of the so vereignty of England set foot on the Irish shores with hostile armies in his train; but it is reserved for us to see happier days, and fortunate indeed will it be for the empire should the anticipations of peace and goodwill which the Queen'svisistotoe smallthat di degreestraeted kingdom give rise to be even in some realised. A day of bright sunshine—scarce wind efinnoautegdhntno thesw ewllavl the white sea a s n a d il a s of stay twhiethyoancthatsclothuadt, were favourable auguries for, the Royal voyage. But few persons were assembled to witness its com mencement, what millions will celebrate its termi nation ! The yachts at Cowes were dressed with flags. Some hundreds of persons were on the look-out from points which commanded the embarkation, and an oc casional glass was in play from the more distant heights and the opposite shore, but no public excite ment of any kind marked the great event of the day. At half-past 12 o'clock the little squadron in Cowes road, which had been for some time before busily engaged in making as much smoke (and we presume getting up as much steam) as possible, were under GOOD WOOD RACES.

There is love in thy features, And blessings, and bliss, in thy people and thee; Thy loving embraces would make all GOD'S creatures E'en what He would have them—unshackled and free Thy Banner is Triumph—in Peace now unfurled — Thy hearth is the Refuge—the Home of the world! 11. now often thy own peaceful borders are teeming With Exiles that seek thee, all weary and lone; While their eyes with the gush of Affection are streaming, They had —but they have not—a land of their own! And the heart that would pant for the Earth to be free, Beholds how GOD'S shadow throws welcome o'er thee. 111. The noblest have sought thee, in moments of sorrow— The wounded in body—the broken in mind; And, lo! amid those who would charity borrow, Perchance some great spirit, disguised, thou shalt find Look back on the souls thou bast blest, for with them Was one lone and sad—lt was BEIC It was Bern! Ohl England, the breath of thy pity was yielding A glory which still shall for ever be thine; ThY Charity stood as Divinity shielding The Angel of Freedom—for mission divine. And the moment has come, that, with banner unfurled, Thy guest has gone forth as the Chief of the world! For, lo! the groat cry, " Unto Freedom !" is spoken, And Hungary rises her glory to save; The Tyrants cry " War!" but their legions are broken A Leader sublime is in midst of the brave! They rush on to triumph—the cry is with them, " The Hero is come! It is Bern! It is Bern!" Oh, England! rejoice in thy Charity's story, That many—so many—have refuge in thee; Thy spirits have nurtured a spirit for glory— Thy free sons have fostered a BEM for the free! How the land of the brave will proclaim thee—the blest When freed by the Hero that fed at thy breast! A TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE HUNGARIANS BY ONE WHO HAD NOT A SOVEREIGN, BUT GIVES THEM A SONG. There is a nation bold and brave, Whose matchless valour now is tried; Which scorns to be a despot's slave, Or aught to slavery allied. Long has it groan'd beneath a yoke Of a usurper's deadly hand, 'Till freedom's spirit has awoke The courage of that noble land. With swords, drawn forth in deadly strife, For liberty resistless fight. The bravest hours that gild man's life Is crushing tyrants in their might. 'Tie more than noble to engage And fight the battles of the free; • For who would live from youth to age, And end his days in slavery? Tho' tile Tartar•Vulter's flag may float Above your vallies and your towers, To crush the song of freedom's note, And desecrate your village bowers— And base Loraine, with basest guilt, Whose dismal prisons glooming stand— The vengeance for that blood now spilt Will drive those despots from your land. Freedom has raised her hallow'd shout— Nor locks, nor bolts, nor massive bars Can keep that heaven-born music out, Tho' tyrants wage ten thousand wars. 'Tis spreading far, and cherish'd dear, A virtue in each household tale— 'Tis felt where falls oppression's tear, And borne along in every gale. 'Tis nurs'd is every cottage home, Tho' persecutions round it rave; It springs from every living tomb Where rests a martyr in his grave. Enshrin'd in glory's dazzling light, The bold Magyars have made their stand; For Father-land triumphant fight, Or die, like heroes, sword in hand. From east to west, from north to south, In every zone, in every clime, Dembinski, Georgey, Bern, Kossuth, Are names which only die with time; And English hearts now beat in flame, With fathers and their gallant sons— And this their grayer—that right of claim May crown with victory the Huns. Bradford, July 24, 1849. S. B. M. WILDMAN. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT PUTNEY BRIDGE.—OH Tuesday evening, about seven o'clock, a horrible occur rence took place whilst the Eclipse, Richmond steam boat, was in the act of passing under Putney - bridge. A party' of small tradesmen and mechanics, with their --Ayalies, who resided at Chelsea, ha d been up the river in a .strong and capacious wherry, when, on their re turn, the tide being against them, they were taken i n tow by the Eclipse, and the boat was m ad e fast to the steam- boa's quarter instead of stern, t he co nsequence of which was, the boat was towed by the s id e . of the steamer instead of at her stern; and in pass ing und er inch this ill-contrived bridge, where there was not an of ?own to spare, a woman named Webb, the wife of a coal dealer at Chelsea, h a d h er a rm incautiously hanging outside the boat, when it was caught and draggedcoraho pletely through the bridge between the boat an d Pier. The shrieks of the woman were awful , andt on merging ted into a clear space, a horrible sight presen te d itself; the flesh had been torn in so dreadful a manner a s to lay b are the bone, and nearly all the tend ons and muscles of the arm were divided.

Monte Video announce that Mr. Hood .had . left that c it y i n a steamer, for Buenos Apes, where be would be received by General Rosa& THE o r ite4T . - LoND rysT, weigh, and anchored off Osborne shortly before one o'clock. It consisted of the Victoria and Albert, Lord Aduiphu. Fizelarence G.C.H.; Stromboli steam sloop, Commander A. Beauclerk ; Sphinx steam-sloop, Commander Hewlett; Black Eagle, Ae miralty yacht, Master Commander Cooke ; and Vivid steam-packet, Master Commander Luke Smithett. At a quarter to three o'clock the hauling down of the royal standard at Osborne notified that her Majesty and the Court had set out for the squadron, and at three o'clock it was hoisted at the maintop of the royal yacht. The little fleet steamed away, under a salute from the Royal Yacht Squadron Battery and West Cowes Castle, and soon passed out into the Channel with a fair light breeze and a sky which promised a fine night, so that her 11Iajesty may anchor at Weymouth or Portland at pleasure. The Superb, Captain Purcell, at Spithead, signalled the departure from Osborne to the flag-ship at Ports mouth, whence it was telegraphed to the Admiralty. GRAND BANQUET AT FISH- MONGERS' HALL. The wardens of the Fishmongers' Company enter tained the honorary members last night at a sumptu ous banquet in their magnificent hall at London bridge. This noble apartment was well filled by a most respectable assemblage, who sat down at seven o'clock to an excellent dinner, provided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, of Cornhill, and admirably served. The arrangements were of the very best description, and the entertainment altogether was of an order be• coming this great and distinguished company of the " merchant princes" of London. Mr. J. Towgood, the Prime Warden, who pre sided, was supported by Lord Campbell, Lord Nugent, M.P., Lord D. Stuart, M.P., Count Teleki, Count Pulski, Mr. Justice Talfourd, the Solicitor- General, Mr. Hayter, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. W. P. Wood, M.P., Mr. Mitchell, M.P., the Gover nor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank, the Chair man and Deputy-Chairman of the East India Com pany, Mr. Samuel Rogers, Mr. Etty, R.A., Dr. Arnott, Mr. Kenyon Parker, and other gentlemen of eminence and note. The PRINIE WARDEN, when the cloth had been re moved, proposed the first toast—" the Queen "—a toast, he said, for which the company were doubt less prepared, and one in commendation of which it was unnecessary to say anything in an assembly of Englishman, especially on the anniversary of the accession of her house to the throne of these realms. —(Loud cheers.) As her Majesty would on this very day, perhaps at this very hour, be embarking on a visit to her Irish dominions, where she would doubtless have a reception worthy of the fame of Irish hospitality—(Cheers)—he would take leave to add to the customary form of the toast a wish that her Ma jesty might have a safe and speedy passage and a happy return.—(Much cheering.) The toast, which was drunk with all the honours, was followed by the National Anthem. The company next drank, with great applause, " the health of Prince Albert, our brother Fish monger," of whom the Chairman observed, that he had secured to himself the goodwill and esteem of all classes of her Majesty's subjects. The toast, and the next—" the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family,"—were followed by appropriate songs. The PRIME WARDEN, in proposing " The Army and Navy," expressed the gratification with which he observed th feeling in this country of the impolicy of war, and - begged to give utterance to a wish that the example of this country in that respect might be followed by other countries.—(Hear, hear.) Un fortunately the time had not ,yet come when our rights could be maintained without our defending and enforcing them on occasions —(Hear, hear)—and the country knew well that on such occasions our army and navy would do their duty.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk amidst much cheering. Major-General Sir A. GALLOWAY being called upon to respond to the toast, said that it was a most unexpected honour conferred upon him. This national toast was one which ought to be received with grati tude.—(Hear, hear.) He would take leave to say that in no nation in Europe were the people so much indebted to the services of their army as we in England were to the British army.—(Hear, hear.) In France, in Prussia, in all the nations of Europe, the service of the army was at home, but the British army had to serve in evexy quarter of the world. — (Hear, hear.) That part of the British army which served in the country in which he was most interested had on every occasion distinguished itself most re markably.—(Hear, hear.) It had lately, in combi nation with the army of India, added a new kingdom to the British crown.—(Cheers.) He begged to thank the, company for the honour they had rendered to the British army, and for the honour conferred upon himself in coupling his name with the toast. The PRIME WARDEN, in proposing the health of " Her Majesty's Ministers," said he regretted to be deprived, owing to unavoidable business, of the honour of the company of the First Lord of the Treasury.-- (Cheers.) The respects of that assembly were offered to her Majesty's Ministers, not in regard to their office merely, but in regard of the principles they maintained. Not, however, that there was no appre ciation of the advantages derived from the fact of those principles forming the basis of the Government. Indeed, when we saw tranquillity prevailing in this country in the midst of so much confusion abroad, we could not but feel that the principles of reform were truly Conservative.— (II ear, hear.) These principles were now maintained by men in power, but they were maintained by the members of the Ministry as individuals at other times and in other circumstances, when the profession involved obloquy and shut the door to political advancement; and now that circumstances were changed, it would be ungrateful not to make due acknowledgment of such services.—(Cheers.) Lord CAMPBELL, in responding to the toast, said that his absent colleagues regretted to be prevented from partaking of the company's hospitality; but her Majesty was embarking to visit a part of her domi nions in which she took the most lively interest — (Hear, hear)—and several of her Ministers were attending her upon that most interesting expedition. —(Hear, hear.) Several of the members of the Government were Fishmongers—(Hear, hear) —and all deeply respected the principles of the association, and not only admired its principles, but its hospi tality.—(Laughter and cheers.) His absent col leagues certainly suffered a great privation in being deprived of the opportunity of partaking of that hos pitality on this day.—(Cheers.) The Prime Warden had alluded to the principles by which her Majesty's Ministers were governed ; the principles which ani mated the individuals now forming her Majesty's Government constituted the principles of her Admi nistration, and by those principles their conduct would ever be guided.—(Hear) The Prime Warden had also alluded to this nation as holding out an example of peacefulness to the world. The great principle that guided the present Government was the preservation of peace all over the world. — (Hear, hear.) But that principle rendered it neces sary that we should be prepared for war—(Hear) — if such an extremity should become utterly unavoid able.—(Hear, hear.) He (Lord Campbell) gloried to think that the principles upon which her Majesty's Ministers entered on the government of the country had remained the guide of their conduct—(Hear, hear)—and rejoiced that we remained at peace with all foreign nations, and that tranquillity existed at home, that trade now revived, and that it might really be hoped that we were upon the eve of more auspicious times.—(Hear, hear.) Her Majesty's Ministers did not claim credit for the happy turn that affairs seemed likely to take, but rather returned thanks to Almighty God that it pleased Him to hold out the prospects of an. abundant harvest, and of the country, under His blessing, flourishing and prosper ing.—(Hear, hear.) A Scotch song followed—" Cam ye by Atholl, lad wi' the philibeg ?" The next toast was, "Mr. Justice Talfourd and her Majesty's Judges ;" and The PRIME WARDEN, after expressing his regret at the absence of Lord Denman, and its cause—his ill-health, called upon the company to observe that the highest distinction as a writer and a poet was not inconsistent with the pursuit of an arduous pro- fession. Mr. Justice TALYOURD, who was very warmly welcomed, said he was scarcely able to give utterance to the feelings which struggled within him for ex pression. He had so recently and so suddenly been • called from the cares and excitements of an arduous and painful profession to more serene, if not less arduous offices, that he must confess he had difficulty in feeling that he belonged to that learned body, at the head of which stood the Lord Chief Justice of England—everywhere an honoured and a vene rated name, but especially to be affectionately pro nounced in the city of London.—(Cheers.) He could scarcely express fitly his thanks in a position to him so solemn and so strange to which it had pleased Pro vidence to call him.—(Hear, hear.) He must be permitted to notice as an auspicious circumstance that, by the happy accident of his not having answered the company's invitation at the moment of receiving it, when he was on circuit, and when the duties of the circuit would have prevented his accepting it, his first welcome in any public assembly since so great a change had passed upon his fortunes and his duties was in one of the a n ci en t companies of this great city, which number e d amongs t it s m embers more than one of his oldest and dearest friends—mesa who, having sympathised with his past course, would be the bet ter prepared to give him their best wishes for the future.—(Hear, hear.) H e h a d always during his life at the bar felt th a t one o f t h e encourag ements and incitements of the profession lay in its connexion with the great Corporation of L on d on an d w ith these com panies, its buttresses—(He ar )— an d he was happy to think, that in enteri ng u p on a pat h w here the cares • and anxieties that were now gone past would be merged in one single d es i re t o di sc h arge a course of high and i mportant duty, the same encouragement EVE KING, AUG-trST _2, MO would remain, and thAt the judges sharing in the great public hospitalities of the city of London, and standing there responsible at the bar of public opinion, were privileged to receive in the greetings of such oc casions as these some of the best refreshments of their course.—(Cheers.) New and young in the position to which he had been called, he would add no more, except that he might be permitted to say that while that position had been purchased by no poli tical subserviency or apostacy—(Hear, hear) —as he had received this honour from those who maintained the principles which from earliest youth he had adopted, so in his future course there could be no tribunal for whose just judgment he should be more anxious than that of the citizens of London—(Hear, hear)—and be could never receive a compliment more welcome than that which he had now the honour to acknowledge.—(Cheers.) The three watermen who came in first, second, and third, in the race for Doggett's coat and badge, were then introduced, to receive the accustomed congratu lations of the Prime Warden ' and the gift of a bottle of wine each, A second bottle was presented to each man for his wife. It was hinted that one of the men was single, but Lord Campbell suggested that of course he would have a sweetheart. The PRIM F., WARDEN gave "The Solicitor-General, and the Bar of England," briefly alluding to the efforts of Sir J. Romilly's illustrious father to im prove the criminal law of this country, paving the way as they did for the altered state of things which now existed in regard to that subject. The SOLICITOR GENERAL, in acknowledging the compliment, remarked that th ose who had striven most often saw the least fruit of their labours, and but prepared a harvest to be reaped by those who should come after them.—(Hear, hear.) It was many years since he had the honour of being in some degree con nected with the Fishmongers' Company, by being employed to defend them upon informations which aimed at their complete subversion ; those informa tions entirely failed, but he had the gratification not only of advancing in his profession by means of this noble company, but of knowing how well it performed its functions as distributor of charities and as landlord in the sister island.—(Hear, hear.) If that example were more followed, he would take leave to say, the complaints now heard from that island would not be so rife; a new state of things would arise. There would be ties of amity and friendship between the two islands, such as alone were wanting to make the two countries as thoroughly united as Middlesex and Yorkshire.—(Cheers.) Lord CAMPBELL proposed " the health of the Prime Warden, and prosperity to the Fishmongers' Company."—(Cheers.) Wl3iist the city of London had borne no inconsiderable part in bygone times in the preservation of our liberties, no company had so much distinguished itself as the Fishmongers. It had ever been remarkable for its gallantry and its honesty. We all remember that when Polonius disclaimed ' being a fishmonger, the remark of Hamlet was—" I would you were so honest a man."—(Laughter.) The PRIME WARDEN acknowledged the compliment, and then proposed the health of Lord D. Stuart, who had proved himself the friend of the oppressed in various parts of the world. Lord D. STUART felt deeply gratified to have the approbation of one of the companies of this great city —a company peculiarly . distinguished by its attach ment to Liberal principles.—(Cheers.) He trusted it would confirm his determination to raise his voice in behalf of all who were struggling for their rights. —(Hear, hear.) He hoped that all engaged in such righteous contests might succeed.—(Cheers.) The PRIME WARDEN next proposed " The health of Counts Teleki and Pulski," expressing his hearty sympathy with the gallant struggle making in their country.—(Cheers.) Count PULSKI could not find words to express his thanks for the sympathy manifested with the Hunga rian cause.—(Hear, hear.) The sympathy of England gave strength, because it was always on the side of justice, freedom, and civilization.—(Hear, hear.) It gave hope that victory would not leave a people that made the greatest sacrifices for freedom against abso lutism, tyranny, and despotism.—(Cheers.) The next toast was " The health of Lord Nugent," who briefly and neatly responded. " The health of the Chairman and Deputy-Chair man of the East India Company " was next drunk ; and the Prime Warden in proposing it noticed, amidst loud cheers, the indomitable courage of the Indian army, and congratulated the Company upon the pro spect of an enduring peace. Major-General Sir A. GALLOWAY, in returning thanks, observed that the army in India had conquered until they were almost tired of conquest, and it was almost necessary to apologize for conquests.—(Cheers) It was the highest ambition of the company so to su • perintend the government of India as to make that country happy, and promote, at the same time, the interests of England.—(Cheers.) The next toast was, " The health of Mr. Hume, and the House of Commons." Mr. HUME had ever felt grateful for the patronage and assistance this company had afforded to him from the time when, 28 years ago, it enrolled him a free man. Those only who had had experience of that time could appreciate the value of such encourage ment.—(Hear, hear.) Sitting where he did (between Counts Teleki and Pulski) he would add that the dis tinguished foreigners who were there could state that their countrymen wanted no more than England for merly wanted—(Hear, hear)—and we ought to give them our sympathy—we could do no more, unfortu nately—and desire that Providence might see fit to give them victory.—(Cheers.) One or two other toasts followed, to which Mr. Hayter, Mr. H. Kemble, and the Governor of the Bank responded; Mr. Kemble, amidst much cheer ing, protesting against being supposed to compro mise or yield his political principles because he par took of the hospitality of a great company. The festivity then, shortly before midnight, termi nated. It was extremely well conducted throughout Mr. Harker was toastmaster, and the vocal depart ment was well sustained. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE CLUB. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—The country considers your paper the leading supporter of the noble cause of Hungary. As such I wish to call your attention to the fact that as yet, while English officers may be found in the Austrian ranks (two young Englishmen were com• plimented by Radetiski on their gallant bearing at Novara), there are no Englishmen ennobled under Xossuth or Beni. It is truly remarkable that none have joined the corps of Bern, for while he was in Oxford teaching the modern languages, about two years ago, this wonderful man won the golden opi nions of all parties, on account of his noble bearing, his modest demeanor, and his virtuous mind. We can only account for this anomaly by the reflection that the subject has never been brought before the daring, enthusiastic, and liberal dispositions of young Englishmen. A word to such. As is always the case in a country happily free from war, army pro motion is here slow and tedious. The contrary is the case in Hungary. Promotion there will be rapid. No people are so well disposed to England as the Hungarians. We may consider as a fail accompli the independence of Hungary, the repulse of the Russian bear, and the utter prostration of all the underhand tricks of the Camarilla of Vienna. And what can be more glorious, and what, we may add, will be more beneficial both to the Hungarians and to the individual Englishman, than to engage heart and soul personally in this holy defence of another na tion's liberty. I am, Sir, a former pupil of BEM. [We are happy to inform our patriotic correspon dent, that we have received several private communi cations from spirited young gentlemen, who are anxious to join the Hungarians, but find a diffi culty in passing through the heart of Germany, and the distance by Corfu or Constantinople is very tedious. But enthusiasm overcomes difficulties, and soldiers must lay their account to hardships.—ED. Sun.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siß,—l have this day forwarded to you a Post office order for 2/. is. 6d., payable to Murdo Young, Esq., at the Money Order-office, Strand, to be applied to the " Testimonial to the Hungarian Refugees," being the subscriptions of persons who feel a lively sympathy for the success of the Hungarians in the noble struggle in which they are engaged against the united despots of Austria and Russia, and who enter tain an earnest hope that the result will be the com plete liberation of Hungary from the perfidious house of Hapsburg. lam also desired by th e su b scr ib ers to testify to you their cordial thanks for the soul stirring appeals that have appeared in Th e S un on i behalf of the holy cause n which the Hungarians have embarked.—l am, Sir, yours in the cause of uni versal liberty, Totnes, July 30, 1849. T D TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-The noble and generous manner in which you have advocated the cause of an oppressed people fighting for their liberty, has won for you the just thanks of all honest Britons ; and, as you have been kind enough to receive subscriptions for the noble band of refugees now at Folkestone, will you allow me to propose penny subscriptions among the poorer classes, who cannot afford to give more, though their sympathies and hearts are with the Hungarians. I am sure the appeal to the hearts of the working classes will not be in vain; and that if any one would be kind enough to receive the very small donations, I am sure a lerge sum would be realised. I enclose you eight:en pence, the result of penny subscriptions, I only undertook this morning. 1 am, Sir, yours &c. GOD SPEED GALLANT HUNGARY. City, Aug. 1, 1849 PROROGATION PARL4IAIVIENT. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Parliament was prorogued yesterday by Royal Com mission to Tuesday, the 9th of October. The House of Lords met at a quarter past Two o'clock. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack. SCOTCH MARRIAGES. Lord CAMPBELL presented petitions from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and the University of Edinburgh, against any alteration of the Law of Marriage Bill. The Noble Lord, in presenting the petition, expressed his cordial concurrence in the prayer of the petition, and hoped that the Bill that had been introduced by the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Bute in the present session would be no snore heard of. If the Bill was 'ntroduced again he would give it his most determined opposition, and sooner than agree to it he would, if his opposition in volved the loss of the office he then held, rather resign that office than abandon his opposition to such a measure. ROYAL ASSENT. At ten minutes before three o'clock the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Mieto, Earl St. Germans, and Lord Campbell, touk their seats below the Throne, robed as Lords Commissioners, for the purpose of giving the Royal assent to several public and private Bills, and also for proroguing Parlia ment.

The LORD PRESIDENT then read her Majesty's most gracious Speech, as follows:-- MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We have it in command from her Majesty to inform you that the state of public business enables her to dispence with your attendance in Parliament, and to close the present Session. Her Majesty has directed us to express her satisfaction with the zeal and assiduity with which you have discharged the laborious and anxious duties in the performance of which you have been occupied. Her Majesty has given her assent to the im portant measure you have passed to amend the Navigation Laws, in full confidence that the enter prise, skill, and hardihood of her people will assure to them a full share of the commerce of the world, and maintain upon the seas the ancient renown of this nation. Her Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you that the friendly character of her relations with Foreign Powers affords her a just confidence in the continuance of peace. The preliminaries of peace between Prussia and Denmark have been signed under the medi ation of her Majesty, and her Majesty trusts that this convention may prove the forerunner of a definitive and permanent treaty. Her Majesty's efforts will continue to be di rected to promote the restoration of peace in those parts of Europe in which it has been interrupted. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, We are commanded by her Majesty to return you her thanks for the provision which you have made for the public service. The public expenditure has undergone con siderable reductions within the present year, and her Majesty will continue to apply a watchful economy in every branch of the public service. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Majesty to congra tulate you on the happy termination of the war in the Punjaub. The exertions made by the Government of India and the valour displayed by the army in the field, demand her Majesty's warmest acknowledgments. Her Majesty hrs observed with gratification the spirit of obedience to the laws which has been manifested by her subjects during the period which has elapsed since her Majesty last addressed her Parliament. It is the characteristic of our Constitution that it renders the maintenance of order compatible with the fullest enjoyment of political and civil liberty. The satisfaction with which her Majesty has Mewed the peaceful progress of her people in arts and industry, has been greatly alloyed by the con tinuance of severe distress in one part of the United of events to favour the operation of those laws Which have been sanctioned by Parliament, and to grant to her Irish people, as the reward of that patience and resignation with which they have borne their pro tracted sufferings, the blessinws of an abundant harvest and of internal peace. At the conclusion of the reading of the Speech, The CLERK at the table read the Commission for pro roguing Parliament, after which The LORD PRESIDENT, in her Majesty's name, and by her command, declared the Parliament prorogued to Tuesday, the 9th of October next. The interior of the House was partly filled with well dressed ladies. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at a quarter after Two o'clock. There were about fifty Members present. EQUALIZATION OF POOR RATE. Lord N U GENT presented several pt titious from the metropolis and other places praying for an equalization of poor rates. VOTE OF THANKS TO LORD DALHOUSIE. The SPEAKER intimated that he had received a letter from Lord Dalhousie, dated Simla, in reply to a vote of thanks which was passed by the House in the month of April, expressing the gratitude and pride with which he had received the distinguished mark of appro bation which had been conferred upon him by the House. POLITICAL OFFENCES. Mr. ANSTEYpresented a petition from a public meeting in Milton-street,City,praying that her Majesty's pardon might be extended to all persons suffering im prisonment for political offences. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. _ _ In reply to Mr. HUME, Mr. HAWES said that the subject of giving a re sponsible Government to the Cape of Good Hope was under the consideration of the Government. BURIALS IN TOWNS. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON presented a petition from the Tower Hamlets, praying for the abolition of intramural interments. ROMAN REFUGEES. Mr. MILNES said it appeared from the public prints that the Governor of Malta had thought fit to prevent the landing upon the isl an d o f refugees from Rome. Whatever political opinions might be entertained with respect to the affairs of that city, the bravery of the Roman people had excited the sym pathy of the civilized world. What he wished to know was, whether the Governor of the island had shown that want of hospitality of which there were so many flagrant instances in other countries? Mr. HAWES said the persons alluded to by the Hon. Member had arrived in such numbeis at Malta that it was absolutely necessary for the Governor, upon his own responsibility, to diminish the number who landed, in order to preserve the peace and tranquillity of the island. HUNGARY—HAYNAU'S PROCLAMATION. Lord NUGENT, seeing his Noble Friend the Secre tary of State for the Foreign Department in his place, wished to ask him a question, one which ho hoped he would not be reluctant to satisfy what was a feeling of ardent anxiety in the minds of a great part of the nation. He had seen a document in the public papers, purporting to be a proclamation of the Austrian General, Baron Haynau, to the people of Buda and Pesth, de nouncing the punishment of death—instant death upon the spot—upon persons of either sex who might be pre • sumed to be taking part in what he terms political offences, such as were never made punishable with death, even under martial law, by any chief acting under the commission of any civilised state.—(Hear, hear.) Instant death, to persons of either sex—(Hear, hear)—to be inflicted on the spot. Ap pointing, therefore, of course, the soldiery, who were to be the executioners, to be also summary judges of the fact! Such as what may be deemed a revolu tionary dress, what may be the spreading of false re ports, and, above all, what may be deemed an insult to any soldier under his command. Resistance to any vio lence or outrage committed by a soldier coming, of course, in the estimation of the perpetrator, within the category of insult, and punished with instant death ac cordingly.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to ask, first, whether his Noble Friend had reason to believe what he (Lord Nugent) would not trust himself to characterise by any epithet but that of this—astonishing—document (he was sure his Noble Friend's generous nature would deem it deserving of a very much stronger term), was genuine or not.—(Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said it was unnecessary for him to say that her Majesty's Government, in common with everybody else, must have read that proclamation as it appeared in the newspapers with feelings of pain.— (Cheers.) He need say no more on that point. He had had no official communication of that proclamation, and, therefore, he had no official knowledge whatever whe ther it was genuine or not. Lord NUGENT would now ask whether, if her Ma jesty's Government should be satisfied officially of the truth of the statement, it was prepared, as in the case of Lord Elliot's intervention between the contending par ties in Spain, to interpose its offices, nay its authority if necessary, to put a stop to the perpetration of such atro cities, inviting of course to retaliation on the part of the Hungarians, revolting to every sense of humanity, and contrary to all the rules and practices of war in these our times.—(Hear, hear.) Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty's Govern ment would use a legitimate discretion how to act in any circumstances which might arise hereafter. Precisely at seven minutes to three o'clock Sir A. CLIVFORD, the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod, knocked at the door of the House, and having been admitted, summoned the House to the House • Of Lords to hear Parliament prorogued by Commission. Nearly every Member, preceded by the Speaker, then left the House. At twenty minutes to four o'clock the Speaker re turned. _ _ _ He was followed by about forty Members, among whom were Lord J. Russell, Lord Palmerston, Mr. La bouchere, Mr. Hawes, and other members of the Govern ment. They all assembled round the table of the House, and the Speaker having read her Majesty's most gracious Speech, the Members then left the House. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM. ASSOCIATION. S;*,—On Monday the 30th, there was no House ; in consequence, as was understood, of the Ministers being in attendance on the Queen in the Isle of Wight. On Tuesday the House sat at noon, and was occupied till four, principally with a debate on the right of adoption by the Raja of Sattara. As soon as the hand had passed the mark of four, the House was counted out, to the disappointmeat of many who must have calculated on getting through the remnants of business which are found hanging about the con clusion of a session. The House was appointed to meet at a quarter after two on Wednesday. On Wednesday the House met according to ap pointment, and the Parliament was prorogued by Commission, with the usual forms. So ends a session in which some important mea sures have been passed, and a considerable quantity of private and less urgent business got through. The efforts made at the beginning of the session to facili tate the progress of business had not been entirely without effect, though of less than was expected from them. The great source of delay is still the quantity of needless speaking. The evil is not in the number of speakers, but in the necessity which a number of indispensables appear to feel of making their speeches of a certain length. Good evidently results from the appointment of fixed hours when the House shall rise ; a precedent which will et some time be usefully ex tended to the prohibiting a House formed on one day from sitting into another dry ; or, in other words, the House rising at midnight, as it now does at six, upon what is called a " morning sitting. In a work shop where it is u ndeniable that a considerable quan tity of the private as well as the public business of the country is to be forwarded, it is of importance to lay down the fact, that the quantity of work done is by no means in proportion to the time consumed, and may sometimes even be found in something like an opposite ratio. I am, Sir, you obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, Aug. 1, 1849. AUSTRIA. On the 26th ult. 34 Hungarian pilsoners were sent by railway to Presburg.

Partly through the impression which the eastern advices have produced, and partly in consequence of the continued tendency to a rather higher value in cotton, spinners and manufacturers have maintained a firmer tone in this day's market than the state of things at the close of last week had led most parties to expect. In yarns the continental houses have purchased hesitatingly, and to a very limited extent ; apparently not venturing to do more at the required rates than make up assortments. The India merchants have been inquiring for 50's and higher numbers of mule twist, which were in improved demand, with a slight tendency to better prices in the Calcutta market; and, although the counts below 40's were rather lower in that market, sales have been practicable to-day at a trifling concession from the current terms. Spinnings for home manufacture continue in fair request at last week's prices. On the whole, the demand must be reported as by no means considerable, yet pretty general in its character, while prices are well sust a in e d. An enhanced demand for goods having arisen at Calcutta, after the departure of the previous mail, the makers of such fabrics have taken a firmer stand upon their quotations than perhaps would otherwise have been the case. The buyers, however, have al most entirely abstained from doing business, alleging that shipments at present prices would involve a loss upon most articles. In jaconots, mada pollams, and 45-inch shirtings, there is no, change. The . ghter 40-inch shirtings are neglected but 64 and 72 =ds continue in request for China, and are very sca :e. Printing cloths are quite steady, though hardly so lively as they were. The rise in 34 and 36-inch cloth is fully maintained. A little more is doing in longcloth3 and T cloths, at a trifling increase of price. Stout domestics for home consump tion are still neglected. . . Letters from Constantinople and Tabriz report the depression in those markets as being still very great. ROCHDALE, MONDAY, JULY 30.—There has been a rather brisk demand for goods of a low and middling quality, while the finer kinds of flannel have not been so much inquired after. There continues much in activity in the wool market, but prices have still an upward tendency. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 31.—The pur chases of China raw silk made early in the last month have found their way into the throwing mills, and now sustain and slightly increase the scanty em ployment referred to last week. The impulse to pur chasers here referred to came from the active demand for fine raw silks at Lyons and other continental seats of manufacture, which led to the withdrawal of a considerable portion of the stock of French and Italian rows sent here last year for security during the disturbances, and on which temporary advances were in some instances obtained by the owners. The China silk is used in the manufacture of the ordinary class of goods made in the country ' • the finer French and Italian raw silks in the finer fabrics abroad ; and this return of the fine material indicates very distinctly the relative progress of the continental silk manufac turer of the higher order of goods. The weavers who had last week turned out have resumed work, having got the price fixed by a local board of twelve masters and twelve operatives, which took four months to complete. The object of the board being formed was to settle all dis putes between masters and men ; but it has not altogether met the expectations of the masters, as to the concurrence of the manufacturers of other towns. Without that concurrence the Macclesfield manufac turers cannot compete with their rivals in the market ; and they are now sending an enormous quantity of work out of the town. One large manu facturer here and in Congleton has, within the last six weeks or two months, sent upwards of SO looms to Middleton. The power-loom department is very slack ; but the dyehouses are full of work. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY, JULY 31.—A brisk business has been done to-day in every description of goods adapted for the present trade. Early in the day every piece of first quality of doeskins was bought up, The stocks are exceedingly low, and buyers find it difficult to complete their orders. HALIFAX, SATURDAY, JULY 28.—The trade in our Piece-hall remains pretty much the same as re ported in our last. The demand for yarns continues good. The spinners are fully employed, and are asking rather higher prices. There is scarcely so much doing in wool. The spinners are pretty well stocked, and the turn of the market is in favour of the buyer. THE HUNGARIAN ELILES. CONCERT. Public sympathy in this country has never been more actively and more generally excited than on the subject of Hungarian independence. The gallant struggle now making by that heroic people has won the admiration of all classes, and in addition to the meetings which are almost nightly held in various parts of the metro polis, expressive of public feeling on the subject, a concert was given on Monday night at the Literary and Scientific Institution, John-street, Fitzroy-square, in aid of the fund now raising on behalf of the un fortunate Hungarian refugees at Folkestone. The folowing ladies and gentlemen, it was stated, " gene rously gave their valuable services on the occasion, namely—Miss Norman, Miss Leslie, and Mrs. Jen nings; Mr. J. D. Collet, Master Frank Bonner, Mr. H. E. W. Bonner, and the celebrated Hungarian Singers, assisted by the Apollonic Society. The Hunga u r e ra ns ro Singers were very appropriately made mnst a p bem, and choruses were very effectively oe gi r y e d•the first in the concert, and several of their neti e o n n and almost all of them very war i r i n ia lT se e , „ and the second part opened with the ilit?rse la Petrie," both sung part with the chorus "Mourtior p our he t great delight of the melodies by the Apollonic Soc i ety , ie t r were in the greatest possible audience.

CONCERNING EGGS.—At breakfast, one morning, in that quiet and comfortable old inn, the White Swan, in York, a foreigner made quick dispatch with the eggs. Thrusting his spoon into the middle, he drew out the yolk, devoured it , and passed on to the next. When he had got to his seventh egg, an old farmer, who had akstly been prejudiced against Monsieur by his moustachios, could brook the extravagance no longer, and speaking up, said. " Why, Sir, you leave all the white! How is Mrs- Lockwood to afford to find breakfast at that rate ?" Sacrebleu !" exclaimed the Frenchman, " you vouldn't hab me to eat de vite?
