FRANCE. SPEECH OF M. GUIZOT, FRENCH MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AT LISIEUX. A grand dinner was given on Monday last, by the con stituents of M. Guizot, at Liseux, in the department of the Calvados, of which place he is the representative in the Chamber of Deputies. It was attended by all the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, and passed off with the utmost harmony and good feeling. The Mayor of Liseux presided, and, in answer to the toast of M. Guizot's health, given by that functionary, accompanied by a handsome eulogium on his public and private character, his Excellency M. Guizot made the following speech : In truth, gentlemen, 1 cannot reply to the honourable and flattering expressions whiCh you have just heard—expressions the value of which are increased in my eyes by the high merits of him who pronounced them. Allow me to see therein the frank expresiion of that sympathy which has sub sisted between us during the last twelve years, and that has remained unchanged through all the varying circumstances which hive naturally occurred to divide men's minds before and after a great revolution. Gentlemen, far from estranging us from each other, it has united us even more closely. Many of you may still recollect that ten years back In this same place I addressed you, and stated my political views. Such a meeting as then took place, such a public discussion all these forms of free government were at. that time a novelty and cause of astonishment. Yet already how natural do they seem? What a proof exists in this of the progress of our institutions. I congratu late you and myself, gentlemen, upon the result. I consider it as a great honour to have from the first accepted and wel comed openly and completely these powerful institution's. I have confidence in them and faith in them. I respect and love them. The events which have passed before our eyes, and which do not permit us to doubt of their worth, have twice saved the country. Previous to 1830, these in stitutions sufficed for the defense of our liberties. Since 1830 they have effectually preserved us from anarchy. We may boldly say that our constitutional monarchy has gone trium phantly through the trial. It has the right to govern us; for in a few years it has met and satisfied the most diverse, the most contrary wants and necessities of society. A year ago France was very anxious and very excited. Great mis trust and great irritation on both sides. A revolution was almost in prospect, and yet no legitingate motive for such a war ; no great national interest to prescribe or counsel it. We had a foreign policy more or less able, more or less fortunate, blunders here, checks there, but nothing from which war ought to have resulted. Neither was war the wish nor the interest of the country. France did not desire it, nor did Europe. And yet war seemed imminent, so difficult was it to render apparent what were the genuine wishes and interests of the country, and to raise it stove the superficial passions and prejudices which agitated us. How have we been extricated from so critical a situation ? The King, making a firm use of his prerogative, changed his Cabinet ; and at the same time, acting up to the spirit of the charter, he carried before the Chambers that great question of peace an i war which, for his own part, he had already re salved in his mind, and within the limits of his power. The new Cabinet appealed in the Chambers to the fullest discussion and publicity, a publicity which appeared excessive to many sensible minds, and contrary to good Government habits. From all this, gentlemen, has there resulted one of those sudden and violent re-actions which carry from one extreme to -. another the policy and conduct of Governments and countries? Has any great interest ofi the country . been sacrificed to a lesser one ? In reject ing war at all price have we flung ourselves into the system of peace at all price, as the antagonists of the Cabinet have so often tried to prove ? Not in the least. All the interests of the country have been amply provided for ; its dignity as well as its prosperity—its force as well as its repose ; and - the re sult has been that policy of armed peace and temporary isola tion which has prevailed in the Government as in the delibe rations of the Chambers. This is the true policy of the juste milieu, of which at length the w isdom is acknowledged, but of - which it has been predicted that it could neither endure nor succeed. But it has both lasted and succeeded. Peace has been maintained without any sacri fice of dignity. The isolation of France exists no more, but not without having lasted long enough for all the purposes de sired, and upon conditions perfectly compatible withthe honour of the country. Here you will, I trust, approve my reserve. There are controversies which ought not to be provoked, facts which ought not to be discussed, save by the Chambers, constitutionally charged with debating them. I shall not be wanting to my duty in this respect, and shall .also abstain from every expression likely to wound the susceptibilities of any foreign Government or nation. I should not forgive myself, were I to let drop one word which might foment or keep up between France and England, •r between France and Europe, worn-out prejudices or bitter feelings. To every sensible man, to every sincere friend of European peace, such language must appear a grievous wrong. Situated as I am, it would be to sin against justice, prudence, a,Jd tact. I will not incur the reproach. I will limit myself to eesuminf , the simple result of the policy which has prevailed, and the lesson which it teaches us. France has been enlightened and tranquillized. She comprehends that neither her honour or interest required more than precau tionary armaments and a temporary isolation. Europe has been warned and reassured—reassured by the evi dence of our pacific intentions, and the loyalty with sshieli our acts have accorded with our intentions; warned that France will never allow herself to be towed along by a policy not her own, but will separate herself decidedly from what she does not approve, without, nevertheless, rusliing to the extremity of war. Aware of the inconveniencies resulting to all the world from the isolat ion of France from the policy of • Turope, it must be admitted that a general good understand ing. is for the interests of all. It is thus that a very critical and a ver)' serious situation, as far as our foreign affairs are con cerned, _has been put an end to. And this result has been attained by a sc. upulous respect for our 'institutions, and by their regular e 'levelopment. At home, and as far as domes tic policy is connTieds The merit of these institutions has been rendered more ' , manifest and conclusive. What is now passing before our eyes shows this fully. The events of last year, gentlemen, h ave n ep eeseti heavy burdens upon us, some temporary and likely to tearer with the situation which caused them ; others more permanent, for they preceed from the ne cessity of restoring our military estale'ishments, too long neglect ed, upon agood footing. Obliged to pre-vide for these charges, Gov; rriment feels, at the same time, the L 'ecessity of bringing back the Budget within normal conditions—in other words, to restore the balance between the revenue and the expenditure. Credit is a powerful means, but at the same time one tenet is delicate, and requires cautious management. A Logs ought not to be had recourse to except in extraordinary and pressing circumstances. The permanent receipts of taxes ough tto meet or dinary expenses. At the present time there are elementary max ins which must guide every wise Government, In this situation what ha; the Finance Minis:er done? He has advanced measures already announced and sanctioned by the law, and which have for , their only aim, first, to ensure the equal repartition amongst the tax-payers of existing interests; secondly, to enable the Chamber to legislate with a full knowledge of facts in all that relates to the voting of these taxes. Can aught be snore legitimate, Gentlemen, er more consonant with justice, and the necessi ties of a good financial administration ? And yet loud cla moors have been raised, not amongst you, Gentlemen—not amongst those who take truth as the basis of their judgments— but amongst a population less enlightened and less informed with regard to public affairs and the condition of a Govern ment. Errors, absurd and strange, founded on popular pre judice, have been circulated ; and at the same time the factious have endeavoured to make the most of these, and turn them to their own advantage. They have endeavoured, oat of these prejudices, to give rise to resistance ; and, out of resistance, insurrection. The third error of the people, and the hypo critical efforts of factions, are the true causes of the late disorders. How has the Government opposed these disor ders? By two means only;: the simple execution of the laws, firm and temperate, mild even in the form—powerful but patient in demonstration; the other means have been full discussion and explanation of the aim of these mea sures, in order to dispel popular errors respecting them. Look at what is this moment passing. The Municipal Councils have assembled - throughout France ; the Depart mental Councils are abOut to assemble. France is at this moment full of elective bodies, debating, approv ing, or condemning these very measures. And in the midst of this universal examination, Government is engaged in re. pressing disorder, in appealing to public opinion and to legal tome, in order to snake the law respected, taking care at the same time to enlighten men's convictions. Is not such a spec tacle a striking homage to our institutions ? Does it not prove that Government places its full reliance, and seeks its support in the complete and energetic ac ti on of these institutions. This action alone is salutary and efficacious. In order that our institutions should attain their aim, all the powers com posing them should act together, each in its part and within its limits. Every weakness,, each act of hesitation of one of th es e great parts of the state, must diem range the whole poli tical machine. It cannot be denied, that at the present time a tendency to weaken one of the great powers of the state, viz., the monarchic principle, by sappin g i t s two foundations— royalty and administration . When I sa y royalty, I mean t h e institution and the royal person, the Crown and the King. It is a fundamental maxim of law that the King can do no wrong. The King is inviolable, ministers are responsible ; every fault of government is imputable tethe councillors of the Crown, not to the Crown. Such is the admirable principle which guarantees order and liberty. But to the maxim of the King d o ne. DO wrong, it is sought to substitute that of the King d o i ng nothing—ass idea as false in right as in fact, and ener vating royalty under pretence of coverin g it. Fortun a t e it has been for our country, that Royalty n not been al lowed thus to become enervated, and that it has per formed in our affairs the part which belongs to it. To its persevering influence we ewe a _great portion of our success. I have already expressed my opinions on this point. The wisdom of the King and the wisdom of the country be came united; and this union, which is the definitive view of the charter, leas been the safety of France. Let us be grateful to the King ; in doing so, we shall only be just. Gratitude is a duty for nations, which serves and honours them ; for it encourages devotion both of the Prince towards his country, and the country has need of the devotion of the , Prince as much as of that of all its citizens. The second ele ment of monarchies has that which ii always present and ac tive throughout the country—l mean, the administration is one cf which the 'country has a pressing and continual need. Throughout our history, or at least throughout its last fifty years, the administration of the country has been the , principle and pledge of national unity, public order, and civilized progress. France has become compact under its action. Schools have sprung up, roads have been opened, towns embellished, and prosperity scattered everywhere, terough its instrumentality. Let us not weaken, gentlemen, its salutary influence. Let us maintain its rights by the side of the public liberties, watching these and watched by them. It is the duty and interest of al sensible men to defend them against hostile tendencies. Government cannot march alone. It has need of being surrounded and supported. Representative Government is said not to have been formed for the repose of Ministers ; neither should it be for the inertness of good citizens. For no person is it a tent erected for sleep; it is a career opened before us, where in we must all progress and act. You all wish for order in your families, order in your towns. Remember, that these blessings are inseparable from each other. In 1830, when we vindicated our rights, our rights infringed, we promised to France and to the world to found a regular and stable Govern ment, and at the same time a free one. Let us keep this pro mise, and let us take without hesitation all the pains that its accomplishment requires. Success cannot fail us if we do so. We shall surmount the obstacles that still impede us, as we have surmounted during the last eleven years all those which so often menaced us with shipwreck. At Marlborough-stre et Police-o ffi ce, yesterday, an elderly grave-looking person, named Theophilus Waters,' Roman Catholic priest, was remanded on a charge of having attempted to obtain from Mr. Fitzgerald, of High-street, Bloomsbury, surgeon, a charitable contribution, by falsely representing that he was appointed by the Roman Ca. tholic Bishop of London, the Right Reverend Dr. Griffith of No. 5, Golden-square, to go on a mission to China. MN Fitzgerald having received information that a person answer jog the prisoner's description had, for the last six months, been levying contributions on the charitable feelings of the nume rous tradesmen at the West-end, gave him in charge to the polices. Advices from Ancona, sth inst., mention that a British ship had come in tiom the Levant with, as it was supposed, the plague on holed, five passengers having died during the voyage. The vois4l had been put in strict qua rantine. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. (FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) CHRONICLE.—Mr. Stuart Wortley knew what he was about in moving the amendment to the Address. He showed plainly, in the commencement of his speech, a distinct consciousness of the insult which he was fling ing in the face of his Sovereign and his country. Hav ing stated that her Majesty had put a certain question to the House, he says that he will put another question ; and his question shall be answered first ; and on the an swer to his question shall depend the reply to her Majes ty's question. We do not exaggerate the insolence of the procedure. Our statement closely follows his own words. "It was not long since her Majesty, by the advice of her present Ministers, put a question to the country as to the policy which should be pursued in the , public administration of affairs ; " but "he would ask the House to consider, in the first, instance, whether it was right that persons sitting in the position of her Majesty's Ministers should be trusted with the future conduct of public affairs." And so, Queen Victoria, with her inquiries, must stand by, until King Wortley has made his demands and received his answer. To such lengths may persons who should know something of courtesy be carried by the drunkenness of success, the consciousness of numerical strength, and the rabid eager ness for power and place. All the arguments for the amendment resolve themselves substantially into this ones—" We, Tories, are the majority ; and we will dis cuss nothing, do nothing, promise nothing, until we are admitted into office. Let the inquiries wait, knock ing at our doors, with her ; awl let the people wait, while their trade goes and their loaves dwindle ; not one inch shall the Great Council of the nation advance towards the treatment of the most vital questions unless the Treasury be first, and forthwith, opened to our cravings." A more marked ex hibition of rapacity and insolence has never been pre sented. But at present both Queen and ,peoole are un der the landlord's Parliament, and must bear this bully ing quietly. Let any one put side by side the language of the Royal Speech and that of the amended Address. " Her Majesty is desirous that you should consider the laws which regulate the trade in corn." What says the Tory majority to this most reasonable and opportune re quest? "That it is essential to the satisfactory results of our deliberations upon these and other matters of public concern, that her Majesty's Government should possess the confidence of this House and the country, and re spectfully to represent to her Majesty that that con fidence is not reposed in the present advisers of her Majesty." What in the world has the reply to do with- the request 2 Nothing whatever. It is totally beside the mark. It is a most flimsily veiled refusal to comply. It tells the Queen that a Tory majority has other, and (to it) much more interesting business in hand than attending to her wishes for the relief of her subjects from the landlords' taxation on their bread. They must have power first, and then they will discuss. If her Majesty will put the staff into their hands, then they will reason about humanity, justice, and such mat ters. They will then be as courteous as now they are insolent. But their insolence must previously be gra tified to the full extent of its demands. This is very likely, indeed, to conciliate confidence in any quarter ! POST.—As we cannot agree in the opinion expressed by that brilliant senator Mr. Brotherton that the people of this country like the Parliamentary debates in pro portion to their length, we think the House of Lords • deserves much commendation for the speedy and decisive conclusion to, which it came on Tuesday night. We do not admire, however, that method of shortening discus sion which Lord Melbourne adopts. We think that so long as a man is Prime Minister he ought to have some thing weighty and important to say upon all great ques tions which come before the House of Parliament in which he happens to sit. We do not think that, even for the sake of saving time, flippancy and levity on the part of the first Minister of the Crown are proper sub stitutes for the information and the argument which the public have a right to expect from a chief Minister when matters of high importance are under discus sion. It is pretty well known that, not very long ago, Lord Melbourne said he entertained views about the Corn-laws extremely different from those which, for the last three months, have been acted upon by his Govern ment. Of this the Duke of Wellington took notice on Tuesday night, remarking, in his Grace's simple and forcible manner, " that fourteen months ago the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) made use of the very strongest language which he (the Duke of Wellington) had ever heard, in opposition to a motion merely for taking the Corn-laws into consideration ! As to the abolition of the Corn-laws, the Noble Viscount had de clared before God that he thought the man must be mad who could think of such a thing !" And what says the Noble Viscount now, in reply to the observations of the illustrious Duke ? Why, that he has changed his mind, a thing which, in his opinion, most people do, and. that he thinks Noble Lords are a great deal too much in the habit of taunting one another when they happen to change their mind ! This might do very well for a drawing-room—it might be thought, perhaps, an agree able piece of candour if said to a pleasant party after dinner, but this kind of language from a chief Minister in the House of Lords is offensive. HERALD.—It might have (been anticipated that the amendment which was moved, on Tuesday night, on the address to the Crown—in the House of Lords by the Earl of Ripon ; in the House of Commons by the Hon. Mr. Stuart Wortley—would have supplied a text plain and intelligible enough for all those supporters of her Majesty's Ministers who might have determined upon undertaking " the desperate emprise " of vindicating the conduct of the hardest-dying of recorded Administrations, " while yet they lived ' to power. There was nothing, to be sure, very evivocal in the noble Earl's proposi tion, affirmed as it subsequently was by a majority of 72 Peers, (168 to 96) and now pending, in the same terms, before the Commons :—" That it is essential to the satisfactory results of our deliberations upon these and other matters of public concern that her Majesty's Government should possess the confidence of this House and of the country, and respectfully to represent to her Majesty that that confidence is not reposed in her pre sent advisers." We have been much amused, however, to observe—on looking back to the debate—the very elaborate care with which the Whig-Radical speakers severally , shunned the home straightforward ques tions raised by that amendment, on the fact of the " no-confidence" reposed by the Parliament and the people in the Government. Avowed and notorious as was the determination to moot it, Earl Spencer never seemed to imagine that such a vi sitaton as an amendment in such terms was possible. He never, throughout his dreary argument, came nearer to the main point than Westminster is to Althorp itself. As for Lord Melbourne—who might have heard, surely, some little whisper of such a visitation being contemplated and at band, he absolutely declared " that the amendment came upon him like a thunder-clap." With great de ference, we can assure the Noble Viscount that the start ling nature of that declaration was much more calculated to electrify all who heard it ! TIMES.—When incorrigible reprobates have once pro ceeded beyond certain limits, the mere consciousness that their character is irreparably ruined often renders them indifferent to appearances, and hurries them into every excess. It is precisely thus with the Whigs. Having long transgressed the ordinary bounds of decency in their in numerable jobbings and malversations, they hare for some years sunk into irretrievable, disrepute ; and ever since the termination of their official career appeared to be near at hand, they seemed to have dedicated its con cluding days to a breathless gallop of corruption. Venal as they have always been, and chiefly engrossed with a petty pedlarship on behalf of their family and party con nexions, they have managed, within the last week or two, to rush into a greater number of flagitious trans actions than had yet disgraced any similar period of their history. What with their waste of public money, their nefarious bestowal of peerages, their open abettor ship of Repealers, their encouragement of illegal Whig votes at the late elections, as well as their wholesale promotion of hungry relatives and hack partisans—we must really say that in the prospect of being expelled from office they have wound up matters with a romantic licence which reminds us of the preferments bestowed by Sir Walter Scott upon the large family of °shades tons, whom, with two or three dashes of his pen, he in discriminately elevates to the rank of disembodied spirits, and dispatches them on sundry unknown mis sions, with the usual allowances and outfit. GLOBE.—The reports of the morning are anything but favourable to Sir R. Peel's prospects of success, in his efforts to preserve the heterogeneous elements which con stitute what is called his party in a state of apparent cohe sion : as to p os i t i ve union, the thing is too unnatural to be regarded as possible. 'The Duke of Buckingham, "the Farmers' Friend," it is now pretty well understood, is o be cast aside as impracticable. his Grace has re fused his assent to any change in the Corn-laws ; and protests against the deception practised upon the agri nrwearevheanthgee cultilral interest, to be essential to P n es t ' c i o n ni th m o e s r e ci l a a l w laws is interests intimated fr from embarrassment, and to satisfy the country—even by those w ho were among the foremost to condemn the existing Government for proposing a similar change in the sys tem. The " last of the Plantagenets," and his double, Sir Richard Vivian, r o s- V again seek their rural retreats, and sigh over their abandoned Corn-laws, and the irreclaimable perfidy of Sir Robert Peel. We hear that tha wrath of the Duke is terrible, and his threaten ing denunciations fierce. The Duke of Beaufort is also reported refractory, and talks of ven geance. Promises of the first vacant garters have been made to each ; but these objects of desire have not charms sufficient to calm the indignation of the dis appointed and deceived chiefs. The secret is out. The influence of the irepricticables was useful to aid the moderates in scaling the walls of office ; but their intro duction to office would embarrass and eventually destroy the party. They are to be thrown overboard. A few empty honours are to be promised, in the hope of stopping their clamorous complaints ; if they succeed, well ; if not, any consequences must be hazarded, rather than the certainty of the whole concern being blown up by the Ultra policy they insist shall be Adopted as the condition of their support. STANDARD.—We understand that there is little or no doubt that the division on the amendment in the house of Commons will take place to-night. The debate would have terminated last night, but that it was discovored that a number of the general supporters of the Melbourne Administration had not qualified, and the Government naturally desired to make as strong a muster as possible on their last appearance in an official capacity. We have not learned whether the omission of this indispensable Parliamentary form was accidental or intentional, but there is a very prevalent rumour that there are serious defections from the Ministerial phalanx, more particularlyas regards their usual Irish adherents. Among the Members who up to last night had not qualified, the names of Mr. O'Connell and of the Irish Attorney-General were mentioned ; the total number was estimated at about twenty. There is no doubt, however, that this omission will be remedied before the division takes place, which in all probability will be to-night. It behoves every Conservative to be at his post. It is un derstood to be the wish of her Majesty that the Addresses from the two Houses of Parliament, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, should be presented on the same day. An intimation to that effect has, we have heard. been conveyed to the Conservative majority in the House of Lords, and there is nationbt that their Lordships will make such an arragement as to time as will enable the other branch of the Legislature to lay their answer to the Royal com munication at the foot of the Throne on the same day that their Lordships may select for that purpose. • COURIER.—The task of vindicating the conduct of the Whig 'Cabinet throughout its devious career was certainly a formidable one, and therefore, per haps, it is not much to be wondered at that expe rienced hands, as well as novice politicians, shauld have preferred a discussion on free-trade crotchets, to a defence of the Whig Cabinet. But, although the novelty of Mr. Cobden's position may be some apology for his laborious but reiultless wanderings, for the extra vagance of his pointless declamation, and the abundant display of his purposeless facts—the scrapings of offi cial tables—neither the Noble Lord the President of the Council, nor the Right Honourable the President of the Board of Trade can avail themselves of such an apologetic plea for refusing to grapple with the question raised in the amendment, or to accept the challenge it so distinctly and unequivocally offered. From such small fry as the Wards, the Cobdens, the Crawfords, and the Bowrings, men of one idea, and that neither profound nor brilliant, a rambling incoherent discussion on the Corn-laws, and free trade projects in general, was to have been expected. A miserable collection 'of isolated facts, gathered from unsold pamphlets or unpublished speeches, and carefully curtailed of their fair proportions, constitute the stock in trade of these pretenders to political science. With facts and figures, shaped after the true Procrustean fashion, and tortured into a thread of forced agreement with their preconceived notions and pet projects, they came prepared to prove anything and everything ; to trace the connexion of cause and effect between the Corn-laws and every imaginable calamity ; to demonstrate the pre valence of universal distress, and at least satisfy them selves that the country is on the brink of confusion and ruin. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE - 11.10RNENG PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.=—We stated reasons yesterday which operated forcibly against a rise in prices, and since then the debates in both Houses of Parliament have certainly not tended to (rive confidence to speculators, or to induce men of capital' or merchrnts to make investments. If Sir Robert Peel intends to conceal his policy until spring, the country will be in a state of most alarming privation and discontent throughout the intervening period. During the interval of suspense, however, there are some things which he will find himself compelled to do. He must raise money ; and the question is, how can the new Government Within it ? The deficiency bills are all gone—the savings bank money is not to be touched. The City monopolists, some of whom are very- wise in their own conceit, and all of whom are constantly brim ful of nothings, pretend, to know the whole arrange ments, They say, -" wait until you see. Sir Robert Peel has got the whole money concern arranged ; all cut and dry, and no mistake. There is a great secret ;" but what it is, of course, " they are not at liberty to communicate." We do believe that there is a plan for " raising the wind" in course of concoction. Let the Bank Directors beware of being concerned in any under hand operations. , They pawned a portion of their " dead weight" to the Bank of France for a loan of 2,000,000/. They may soon require similar assistance, and had better keep their securities as a nest egg for a rainy day. If they give them baclq. Peel on loan, to enable him to carry on the Government, they may repent it when too late. It is certainly rumoured that there is a negotiation on foot between Peel and the Bank Parlour. Such a thing is spoken of, and is not improbable. We shall wait the development of the secret" with composure. Mr. Baring stood high in public estimation, precisely on account of his openness of character and clear prac tical style of dealing with the finances. His budgets were always simple, and arranged with such lucidness that the generality of the tax-payers could follow and appreciate them. His plan of increasing the per tentage on the customs and assessed taxes was well received in ,the City, mainly on account of its plainness and sim plicity. There was " 110 juggling " about it, and as money was seen to be needful, the people were satisfied that it was better to raise it by taxation than by a loan. The result of that experiment proved that the tax-bear ing resources of the country were exhausted, and that the revenue must, in future, be improved by adopting a liberal system of commercial policy, and lowering of the duties on imports from foreign countries. That plan has been also proposed by Mr. Baring, an d h av i ng b een fairly and plainly brought forward, no scheme of a loan, or for imposing new taxes, will meet with public appro bation or support. All new taxes, rotes of credit, issues of Exchequer Bills, and loans, are justly considered as the mere sweepings, the refuse of the office in Downing street ; the rejected offal of the Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he spurned with contempt as a wretched system of patchwork and a gross delusion on the country. TIMES.—It was a matter of surprise at the time, that the assignees of Nlessrs. Whitmore, Wells, and Co., should have been refused by the Manchester Commissoners act ing in the estate of Daintry, ,Ryle, and Co., to have a voice in the choice of assigne es , although they had so large a claim, upon the pretext that they could not come in under the estate of Daintry, Ryle, and Ravenscroft, which was in faeLtlie estate under which the choice of assignees was being Made, but only under that of Dain try and Ryle. The facts of the rejection of their voice in the choice has since been submitted to the Court of Review ; and the judgment given to day removes the assignees already appointed, orders a fresh meeting to take place for new assignees under the joint fiat of Daintry and Ryle, and also that the assignees of Whitmore, Wells, and Co., go in and prove for such debt as they can establish against Daintry and Ryle, and vote in the choice of assignees. Several of the merchants connected with the trade with China aee beginning to speculate whether the ap pointment of Captain Elliott to the Consulate of Texas will lead him at once to proceed to that republic, or whether he will first appear in England. The latter course, it seems, would be pr e f e rr e d, as an opportun i ty would be afforded to thoe who feel inclined (and it is understood there are some) to settle the question respect ing the indemnity bills drawn against the Treasury, and which were given for the surrender of the opium to the Chinese authorities. ADVERTISEX—The system of exclusion on the Continent is gathering strength with age, one country after another finds the friendship and alliance of its , neighbours more worth having than that of England, and yet we make no effort to prevent desertion, which ever swells the ranks of our opponents. It is in the nature of things, as . far as present appearances would show, that the whole of the vast European continent must be sooner or later drawn into that formidable confederacy which dates its origin from Prussia, a power indebted to us for Millions of treasure badly spent in its sause alone, and which confederacy, before a very distant day, will no longer be designated the "German, 'but the "European" Customs Union. It is the fear of thinking men that no Legislative measures henceforth adopted can remedy the past, but few, we believe, will deny their power to control the future. What course remains, then, open to us ? The course which policy would seem to mark for us is reciprocity. The country which may be inclined to fa vour us should receive favours in return, and these must init . be waited fur, but sought after. Under our existing fiscal laws, no Government, no Ministry here has it in its power to make concessions at all worth having, even if a foreign Power offered us the most liberal terms, or absolute freedom of entry for our goods. The fairest way of settlement would be to establish treaties with every and any country that would give and. take. Now, however, we arc so cramped and fettered by monopolist interests, that we have really nothing to offer worthy of their acceptance. HERALD.—Complaints are made among the foreign houses in the City of the Post-office, mismanagement or remissness in the deliveries of letters brought by the steam and other packets from the United States. Take, for example, the Great Western, which reached Bristol on Friday morning, but whose letters were not distributed in town until the next (Saturday) morn ing, although New York papers were received here in various quarters by private parcel from Bristol early on Friday afternoon. The prejudice resulting to foreign merchants in this case was that, instead of being able to forward such letters as might be addressed to their friends abroad through their earn by that night's foreign mail, they were obliged, in the case of correspond ence to the north of Europe at least, to keep it until the next foreign post day, or the Tuesday following. The inconvenience would be still greater in the event of busi ness operations on bills to be advised of to the Conti nent on receipt of transatlantic letters. The grievance clearly wants, as it is easily susceptible of, a remedy. MORNING SUN. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1841. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Aug. 24. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE, ) COLLS, TWOMPSON, AND HARRIS'S BANKRUPTCY, LATE RILL- BROKERS, OF LOMBARD-STREET. In this case the bankrupts appeared before the Court to pass their final examination. Very few creditors attended, but ad ditional proofs, to the extent of 19,5561. ss. were admitted, making, with the proofs admitted at the sitting for the choice of assignees, a total of 136,6951. 18s. 2d. already proved against the estate. None of the proofs offered to-day were contested, and the subject of the claim of the London and County Bank was not in any way alluded to. In answer to a question from the Commissioners as to the expected amount of dividend, the official assignee said that is quite uncertain. There are still a great number of bills which may eventually come against the estate. The bankrupts were then sworn to the truth of their ac counts, and were severally declared passed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 24. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Lord DENMAN). William Jenner, a middle-aged person, respectably dressed, and of respectable appearance, was indicted for the wilful mur der of Mary Jenner, his wife, by shooting her with a pistol. Mr. Starkie and Dr. Brown conducted the prosecution, and Sir G. Lewin and Mr. Murphy the defence. The Court was crowded to excess at an early hour, very great interest h av i ng b een create d i n consequence of the prisoner having been for many years a respectable merchant in this place. Mr. STA axiE having stated - a brief outline of the case to the Jury, called the witnesses. George Jenner, the only remaining child of the prisoner, an intelligent lad, deposed, that on Friday, the 26th of April last, the family consisted of his father, mother, brother, and himself. He went to bed about eleven o'clock, and slept with his brother in the front bed-room, and his father and mother in the back bed-room. lie was awoke in the morning about six o'clock by the report of a pistol ; his father was standing beside the bed with something in his hand. It was a pistol. Witness j u mped out of bed, and eaught him by the hands and held him against the door. He got loose, and witness went down stairs to the front door, but could not get out, and he went into the parlour ; he then heard the report of a second pistol, and his lather came down stairs, and caught hold of witness with his right hand. He had two pistols. Witness caught hold of ene and got it from him. Ho wanted it back. Witness wanted to go upstairs to see his mother. He did so, but did not find her, and came down again, when the prisoner followed him and got hold of him. He struck the prisoner on the head with the pistol, and asked him what he did so for. He said he was crazy. Witness then went into the kitchen, and thought lie heard his mother call. He found her on the floor. There was blood about her head. He spoke to her but she could not answer. The prisoner came down, and witness tried to raise her up, but being encumbered with the pistols could not. Prisoner asked witness to give him them. Witness said no, he would throw them away. He then went into the yard and threw them into the midden. lie told witness to come in, but he refused, and said he would go for a surgeon and the police. lie them went out of the back door and along a lane. He met a man whom he told to get a policeman, and went himself to get Mr. Ackerley, the surgeon, and returned in five or ten minutes. The policeman was there then. On cross-examination the witness stated that the prisoner had always been kind to his mother. About eight months ago he was in a state of great excitement, and brought home very ill. His face was red, and he was very lively. Mother raid he was foolish to think so much of things that were past. In October or September there was something about prussic acid, and Mr. Ackerley and another surgeon were sent far. After that witness or his mother always came home with him !loom the counting-house. W. Maddock, a policeman, went to the house and knocked. The prisoner asked, "Is that George ?" The policeman said " Yes," and he was let in. He found Mrs. Jenner lying in the kitchen, bleeding from a wound in the side of the head. Other policemen came, and they found a double-barrelled pistol on the kitchen floor—one barrel loaded, the other dis charged. Another double-barrelled pistol was found in the prisoner's pocket, both barrels loaded. A box, with materials for leading them, was also found. To Rice Smith, inspector of police, the prisoner said that Mr. Roberts was to blame for all this ; and if they all four bad gone to the cemetery together it would have been right. He said his wife had been a good wife, and spoke of his two fine boys. When the son George came the prisoner asked the boy to kiss him. He said, " you shot my mother and brother, anl you wanted to shoot me." He said, " Yes, we should all have come to poverty." He said he had been unfortunate in business, and he had been crazy for a long time. He then wrung his hands and said, " On 1 Mr. Roberts, Mr. Roberts, what have you done tl my wife and family !" Mrs. Jenner lived till the 6th of May, and then died. After some discussion a deposition made by her was received in evidence; it stated that on the morning of the occurrence she had come down before her husband. He came down shortly after with his shoes in his hands, and was going to clean then:, as the•servant was absent. He went up stairs again. She shortly after felt a shock, and thought he had had a tit. She shortly after heard the children crying out 4. marder," and she called Mr. Jenner. She then became insensible. Mr. Ackerley stated, that he said to the prisoner, " This is a sad business." He replied, " Yes, lam a deranged man ; you've been here before, you know." On cross-examinatiwn Mr. Ackerley stated that he and Dr. Benning had been called in in November, when it was sus pected that the prisoner had taken prussic acid, and remedies were administered. Hs soemed then to be labouring under insanity—a monomania as to the state of his affairs, which he thought in a ruinous condition. A number of witnesses were called to speak as to the state of the prisoner's mind, and the Jury, after a short retirement, returned with a verdict of Acquittal, on the ground of insanity, The verdict appeared to give universal satisfaction. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. William Bradford, aged 50, described as a butcher, was indicted for the wilful murder of Ann Bradford, his wife, The Grand Jury ignored the bill for the capital charge, but found ene for manslaughter. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Espinasse conducted the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. Margaret'Aliller stated that she was servant at the Black Swan public-house, Rosemary-lane. Saw the prisoner on the 3d of August, about four o'clock. He was drunk. His wife came into the house in a few minutes afterwards. She was sober. She said to the prisoner, shall I take your beer home, and he said yes. She then went out. The pri soner remained behind. After she had gone he said to the witness, that good-for-nothing old woman, I will either murder her or do for her. Thomas Maynard, police-officer 74 H, was in Wentwnrth street on the day in question at the house of the prisoner. It had a small shop. There was a crowd round the door. The windows were broke, and the goods of the shop rolling out. Saw the pri soner inside. Asked him if he knew a female that was outside that was making a noise. He said he did ; it was his wife. Witness said, why don't you let her in? He said he would not, for she had threatened to cut his head open with the tongs. Witness said, " nonsense, he would prevent all that." He said, " as you request it, I will do so." Asked the woman if she would be quiet, but she made no answer. The prisoner opened the door, and she went on in a very violent manner. She was very drunk at the time. About nine o'clock the next morning was in Wentworth-street again, and met the pri soner. Asked him him how he settled the matter, and he said his wife was very ill. Witness said he hoped he had not ill used her. He said lam very sorry, but I did strike her in the face in the night ; but he did not think it would cause all that injury, as he would not have her die for a thousand pounds, for if she shoted, he would be hanged for it. Further evidence was given, which left no doubt that the husband inflicted the blow. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of the strong provocation he had received. The prisoner was then sentenced to four months' imprison ment and hard labour. NEW COURT. George Lilly Johnson was indicted for stealing sixty-two pound of lead, the property of Sir Matthew Wyat. Mr. Phillips appeared `for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. William Ellis said he was clerk of the works in the employ ment of Sir Matthew Wyat, the eminent sculptor. On the 17th of July last, went into a yard attached to some new buildings which Sir Matthew was erecting near Hyde Park, when he saw the prisoncrin the workshop, and suspecting his honesty from previous circumstances, he caused him to be searched, when a kind of girt was found strapped round his loins, supported by straps over the shoulders ; to the girt were ingeniously attached nails, so as to support a great weight between it and the person, and by this means the pri soner had contrived to secrete the property named in the indict inent.l Sir Matthew Wyat employed four plumbers, to one of whom, named Jackson, the prisoner was apprenticed. Mr. CL kRKSON, for the defence, called Jorge Jackson, who stated that he was a plumber, residing in Queen-street, Edgware-road, and on the day when the pri soner was first charged with the robbery he was standing out side the workshop, which was scarcely more than 10 feet square, and in his opinion no person could have taken the property in the manner in which it was stated to have been done. The prisoner was found Guilty and sentenced to be im prisoned for one year, and kept to hard labour. George Brown was indicted for stealing fifteen sovereigns from the person of Thomas Hunt. The prosecutor deposed that he was a cotton spinner belong ing to Manchester. On the 3d inst. he was walking through Fleet -street, when he met the prisoner, with whom he entered into conversation, and went into a public-house in Chancery lane. The prisoner said he-came from Warrington, and was about taking a shop in London. In about half an hour after they entered the house a third party came in, and as if accidentally, spilt some ale, for which he appeared to pay, but the prisoner refused to allow him to do so, and showed him some money to prove that they were quite independent, and urged him (the prosecutor) to do the same. The man who came in pulled out some money from his pocket and said he would pay for all the ale they could drink. Soon after he began to talk of the liability of strangers to be. taken in by the London sharpers, and desired him to be sure that his money was safe, as they did not wish him to loose anything in their company. The prisoner then said, here is some paper, roll up what ever money you may have about ydu. Witness did so, and the prisoner pretended to put it into his (prosecutor's) fob for safety, They then walked out, and prosecutor was sent to get some cigars, and on his return found the other two gone, and instead of fifteen soveregns, which he rolled up, he found six halfpence. Air. BALLA STINE, for the defence, cross-examined the wit ness at great length, but nothing was elicited to shake the prin cipal facts of the case. The RECORDER said, for the security of the less crafty and guilty portion of the community, it was necessary that the pri soner should be removed to a place where his ingenuity would have less scope than in London. lie should, therefore, sentence him to be-transported for ten years. POLICE fisITE'LLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR.—Mr; Hicks, the Chairman of the Markets' Committee, waited upon the Lord 11ayor on the subject of the memprial of the inhabitants of West Smithfield, praying that the approaching Bartholomew Fair might be re gulated according to the arrangements of 1839, or wholly abolished. The Chairman stated that he had read the statement of what had taken place before Aldermen Wilson on Wednesday with peculiar satisfaction, as it was calculated to show, without any application to the Committee at all, that the measures adopted upon the excellent advice of the City Solicitor were in vigorous operation. The Loan Aaron said that with every disposition to ren der service to the memorialists, he could not think of acting in opposition to the legal authority to which reference had beeen made on this important subject. All he had to do was to Rroceed in the ordinary course, taking care that there shoal be no infringement of the Charter. The Chairman informed his Lordship that the Special Com mittee had met that day for the purpose of making the neces sary preparations for the fair, with the intention of making them conformable to the excellent report drawn up by the City Solicitor. The LORD MAYOR. supposed from these observations that it was the intention of the Committee to exclude what was called "dramatic entertainments" from the fair? The Chairman said that was most decidedly the case. They had adopted the popular alteration proposed by the City Soli citor, of " abridging the duration of the fair to two clear days, and by refusing to lot standings for show booths, thus pre paring the way for its natural death." The Corporation had abolished " Ladye Fair " in Southwark, and the nuisance of Bartholomew Fa►r, which infinitely surpassed any other public abomination of the kind, would be every year dim►nished until it should at length become a scarcely legible record. The conversation here dropped, and the odious fair of St. Bartholomew will soon sink into nothing. The :police will receive directions to pay very particular attention to the move ments of the class of persons to whom the deputation of the inhabitants of Smithfield especially referred in their memorial. GUILDHALL. On Wednesday Messrs. Yates, 11edges, Middleditch, Jordan Wall, and Dyer, and eight others, Shareholders in the Union Flint Glass Company at Bromley, attended before Sir Peter Laurie, to solicit his advice what they should da under the fol lowing harassing circumstances:—They stated, that in the year 1839, a prospeetus was issued, representing that there was an immense consumption of glassware in the metropolis, that the supply came from different parts of the country, and the breakage on the road was so enormous, that a very large pro fit would be made by making the glass in the metro polis. The price of the shares was only 51., so as to bring them within the reach of men in moderate circum stances like the applicants. The works were erected at Bromley, and after working up 4,000/. worth of materials, they found the scheme was a decided failure. The estimates, which led them to expect a large profit, were found to be fal lacious. The glass instead of selling at 10d. a pound, was sold at 4d. ; but even at 10d. it would be manufactured at a loss. Coals were found to amount to nearly half the expense of fabricating glass, instead of only a tenth part, as the esti mates held out. The prospectus held forth that the sharehold era would be guaranteed from liability to loss beyond the sum paid for the shares, by the Directors making it a rule that no expense should be incurred which there was not funds in hand to meet, notwithstanding which the Directors had incurred debts to the amount of 6,0001., and the creditors of the Com pany were serving writs on the Shareholders separately or in masses, for amounts which would strip them of all their property. Sir P. LAURIE asked how the Company had already in curred a debt of 6,000/. ? A party replied, the sale of the shares produced only 3,000/., and the building of the works cost 6,000/. Sir J. DUKE said they must pay the claims when made upon them or defend the actions. Sir P. LAURIE said no such thing as a limitation of respon sibility was attainable by shareholders as to claims from the public. What the deed might say about limitation would be operative only amongst the shareholders es against each other. There was more villany in the concocting of some Companies, than in the committing of what were deemed serious crimes. The applicants said their object was to know how they could best prevent the Directors from going on, and incurring new liabilities, to the utter destruction of each shareholder. The Directors defied them. Sir P. L A URIE thought the best course was to call a public meeting of the shareholders, expose the names and addresses of the Directors, sift their, accounts and management, and show that the Company was a complete failure. This would stop further credit being given, and they must resist every. action that might be brought thereafter. The applicants promised to consult upon the subject, and to furnish Sir Peter with a list of the Sareholders, Directors, and some ether matters. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.)

In the month of June, 1830, considerable excitement was caused in the neighbourhood of Hutton Rudby, in the North Riding of York, and in the whole vale of Cle veland, by the sudden disappearance of a man of the name of William Huntley - , who had a considerable sum of money on him at the time. He had been accustomed to keep company with a set of men in that neighbour hood who were in the habit of poaching, and committing depredations on the hen-roosts in that part of the county. On the night of his disappearance he was seen in the company of two men named Robert Goldsborough and George Garbutt. On the morning of the following day a suspicion arose that he had been murdered by those two men ; and every search was made in the neigh bourhood for the body, but without success. Goldsborough's house was - searched, and very strong suspicions were 'excited by finding the watch of the missing man iii' the house, and several other things well known to haVe:belonged to Huntley. By some strange and unaccountable neglect, all these things were looked over, and the man Goldsborough was left to his own measures, and never brought to any account, except by the neighbours, to whom he stated that he had received them as part payment for a debt which ho wanted of Huntley, and that he had gone to America. The case was passed over in this way, although, before the disappearance ;of Huntley-, he was in the most needy circumstances, and after wards was in the possession of a considerable quantity of bank-notes. He subsequently quitted Hutton Rud by, and went into the West Riding of York, where he took another name. The other man, George Garbutt, had been concerned iu the robberry of a barn, and was obliged to quit the neighbourhood: He has since been at Sunderland, in the occupation of a coal-trimmer. In the month of June last, men were employed in cut ting a new course for a rivulet which runs through the town of Stokesley, in the direction of Hutton. Rudby, near a bridge called Tame Bridge, where the water took a consickna.ble curve. The cut was commenced for the purpose of making a straight course from the bridge, which, after cutting for 30 or 40 yards, again crossed the old course ; when the workmen arrived at this place, on the opposite side of the water, they found a quantity of bones, which they at first thought to be those of a cow ; but they afterwards found the skull of a huinan A coroner's inquest was held on the remains, when the Jury came to the decision,' after hearing Mr. Strother, surgeon, pronounce his opinion that the bones were those of a male subject, and that he had received a blow on the back part of the head, by which the skull was broken in, and also the bones of the nose, " That the bones were those of some person who had come to his end by foul means." Mr. Gernon, the policeman for the district of Cleve land, with his accustomed promptness, made every in quiry in the neighbourhood. of Hutton Rudby concern ing the unfortunate Huntley, and elicited sufficient in formation to warrant his going in search of the man. Goldsborough, whom he found at Barnsley; and upon going to the house, taking the skull which was found along with him, and finding him at home, he suddenly placed it before him, asking.him " If he thought it had any resemblance of Wm. Huntley ?" Goldsborough was forcibly agitated, and, with tears in his eyes, after a considerable pause, declared that he knew nothing of it. Mr. Gernon again returned to Stokesley, and after everything was in a proper train, Goldsborough and a man named Thomas Grundy were brought to Stokesley; and on Friday and Saturday hist evidence was heard be fore Sir William Foulis, E. Turton, Esq., and William lauleverer, Esq., in the National School-room of that place. Several witnesses were examined, including the brother of the deceased. Dr. Strother deposed to the cause of death as ful lows:—" The skull has not been broken by a sharp in strument, but it cannot have fallen into the present state but through the effects of a blow ; he should say that the teeth had not been forced out; the lips would pro trude a little, occasioned by the tooth ; the person when living has hadl an indentation in the forehead, and a broad flat nose; the pelvis belongs to a male person." The witnesses deposed to a number of suspicious cir cumstances, coupling Goldsborough with the death of the deceased. Mr. Gernon, the policeman, stated that he had visited Barnsley, as before stated ; that the prisoner Grundy had confessed to having been called up on the night of Wed nesday ensuing after the murder. He took him to Wearybank Wood, and there showed him a large parcel, saying that he had got embarrassed in the world, and was going to America. He wanted Grundy's assistance to take the bundle down to Stokesley. Grundy then took hold of the parcel, and found a man's head in it ; he was quite frightened, and asked Goldsborough what he had been doing. He was very much agitated, and it was about five minutes before he could speak ; at last, he said that he had shot Huntley by accident, and he would shoot him if he ever disclosed it. Grundy then mudo. his escape from him, and left him at the place. Mt. Gernon also states that Grundy went with him, and Jdines Berthram, constable, to the place where this had .happened. • Thomas Grundy was examined, and admitted the truth of what Mr. Gernon had said ; also that he had been afraid to be out at night during the time Golds borough had remained at Hutton. The prisoner was then asked what he had to say in his defence. lie stated that on the Thursday previou to the Friday spoken of, Huntley came to him, and they . went and sat in Wearybank Wood. Huntley took out his money, and asked prisoner what was the reason Mr. Garbutt, of Yarm, had not given him the whole of the money which he had belonging to him. Huntley was no scholar, and the prisoner told him the reason ; he then pressed witness to go to America with him ; which he declined doing, as he had two children, which he thought it was his duty to support ; he saw him again on Saturday, and he went with him to Stokesley. On the Thursday follow ing he saw Henley again ; he pressed prisoner to go to America with him,. but he would not ; Huntley sold his weaver's loom to George Garneby, and that night pri soner shook hands with Huntley, and never saw him more •, declared his innocence, and had nothing more to say than that his life was sold. The Magistrates then committed Goldsborough to take his trial at the next York assizes, and also the prisoner Grundy, but would admit bum to bail, in the sum of 3001., if he could procure it. Goldsborough was commit ted to the care of the governor of York Castle on Sunday. Garbutt has not yet been apprehended ; he was seen in the month of May last, in this town, when he stated he had -been a trimmer or something of the kind. Grundy has since committed suicide by hanging him self in his cell in York Castle. A coroner's inquest has been held on the body, and verdict of—"Felo de se" re returned.—Sunderland Times of Saturday. The Aix-la-Chapelle Gazette relates the fol lowing melancholy instance of religious fanaticism. A Pro testant inhabitant of that city was married many years ago to a Catholic, by whom he had two children, whe were edu cated in the Catholic faith: On the death of his wife he mar ried a Protestant, and from that hour endeavoured to convert his children from the Catholic to the Protestant religion, but could not succeed, and at length the relations of his wife in sisted on removing the children from his house. A few days since, says this paper, the father went to the house at which his children were staying, and, after having endeavoured in vain to induce his son to abandon the Catholic faith, he become furious, and hanged him. The buy was soon afterwards dis covered and cut down, but in such a state, that little hope was entertained of saving him. The father was arrested, and con veyed to prison.

The appearance of St. Francis drove six of the Queen's Plate horses out of the field,and the Egham Stakes not having filled, the "grand day," as the third has been commonly called, was deprived of its interest ; hence a numerous company was fain to put up with a very small quantity of racing, with nothing to compensate its inferiority but the delightful state of the wea ther.

REGATTA AT PUTNEY. The sixteen most celebrated watermen on Tuesday con tended in an oars' wager, at Putney, for a purse of sovereigns, given by the Noblemen and Gentlemen comprising the Lean der and London Amateur Scullers' Clubs. The reach of water selected for this trial of skill was the finest on the Thames, and owing to the beauty of the weather, and the in terest created by the match, there was, at an early hour in the day, a very fashionable and full attendance of company. At half-past four the following took their stations for the first heat :—Henry Maynard and John Doubledee, both of Lambeth, yellow ; John Williams, Waterloo Bridge, and George Everard, Old Barge-house, dark blue ; John Phelps and John Freeman, both of Fulham, red ; Thomas Goodram, Vauxhall Bridge, and Charles Hill, Hungerford, brown. Bi own had the best station, being the nearest the point on the Aliddlesex shore, and the others were towards the Surrey side, in the order in which they stand in the list. The Leander, and others of the celebrated club beats, having moved to the bridge, the start took place. Browii took the lead for the first two or three yards, but as a punt was a little distance a-head in their course, they appeared to hesitate which side to row, and a moment's delay was the consequence. Red was second in the start, and yellow and blue scull and scull ; red gained on brown, and passed them by about half a length, when yellow dashed by both, and led the way up the reach, after a slight and unintentional foul with red. Yellow retained their position all the way up, and made a strong push to round the boat, which was stationed just above Hammersmith bridge first, in which they succeeded, closely followed by red, brown being third. The whole of the men then turned into the slack to row down against tide to Putney-bridge, and brown began gaining upon red, and in the course of a quarter of a mile rowed by them outside, and in five minutes after went up to the leading boat. A sharp struggle ensued, and when within a mile of the winning post brown overhauled them, and went into the first place. Brown came in first, yel low second, red third. There was about ten yards between each of the boats. Immediately after this the following took their places for the second heat :—Henry Shelton and Robert Doubledee, Lam beth, white; James Dodd, Hungerford, and Robert Newel, Battle-bridge, light blue; John Connoway, Horsleydow•n, And John Kelly, Fulham, green ; George Campbell, West minster -bridge, and Joseph Godfrey, Strand-lane, pink. Pink had the station to the Middlesex shore. The start was very excellent. Pink and blue were beautifully together at first; white shot by them ; in an instant green touched blue, but not so as to occaston any inconvenience. White slashed up in advance of the whole of the party, and first rounded the boat, closely followed by light blue. White made a short cut to the shore; blue shot longer, and cut them out, taking the first place, which they kept, winning by a dozen yards. White was second, and pink third, close upon their quarter. The gentlemen then sat down to a splendid dinner, at the Bells Tavern, and the wagermen refreshed as best suited their several tastes; and it was not until a quarter past seven that the grand heat was started. This was the same distance as the two preceding ones (from Putney-bridge up round a boat just above Hammersmith-bridge, and back to the Terrace, at Putney). Yellow, brown, white, and light blue, as the winners of the first and second, were the competitors in this heat. The start was very excel'ent ; for three minutes they were oar and oar; it was evident they were very nearly matched. White, who had the best station, took the lead, but were shortly passed by yellow and by blue. Yellow first rounded the boat, and made play for the return, light blue gradually gained on them, and white and yellow oir Old Barn Elms hugged the shore pretty closely ; blue dashed by, maintained their position, and won by two lengths. Yellow was second the same distance a-head of white, who was third. The last heat was rowed in the presence of several thou sands, both on land and on the water, who warmly cheered the winners.

HORRIBLE SITUATION.—A young man, efl ployed at a colliery about ten or eleven miles south, of Edinburgh, happened, on a particular morning some thne ago, to oversleep himself, and on his arrival at the Vit mouth found that his fellow workmen had already ex scended ; and as the gin-rope which convoyed them t° the bottom was again at the top, he put his foot into, the iron swivel attached to it, and directed a countryman waiting for a cart-load of coals to lower him. He h ad scarcely commenced his descent, however, when the idea suddenly occurred to him that there was something wrong with the tackle, and clutching with his hands to the wooden platform which half-way covers and ovehr; hangs the pit, he was instantly disen gage d from t rope, and hung sus ?ended by the hands over the dark and horrid abyss which yawned b enea th him. It hap pened on the dark of a winter morning, and the carter to whom lie had intrusted the task of lowering him, sa w distinctly, by the light of a fire burning within a few feet of the pit, the fearful situation of the lad, heard his terri fied shriek for help, and ran forward to relieve him. On reaching the margin, however, he was suddenly over d r- . . come with fear, and stood for several seconds paralp fo and terror-stricken, without the power even to call r assistance. Providentially, the master of the co al- p it was about a hundred yards off when he heard the shriek of agony from the lad, and, flying to his'assistance , a rrive in time to hear him say, in a low and faint voice, "Catch me, my hands are slipping:" when, seizing him by the wrists, he drew him with difficulty to the platform, where he instantly fainted ; the poor frightened carter all the while looking on in an agony of speechless terror, and without the power to move. Who can calculate the mental suffering of the poor lad while lie clung to th e platform, feeling his fingers gradually losing their grasp' till he sunk in a fainting fit after being placed in safety ' —Edinburgh Cc urant. NEW IMPULSIVE POWER.—(From a Cot respondent.)—The proprietor of the Gazette of Cot tau Baton-Rouge, in Louisiana, has succeeded in propelling vessels without the agency of fire. A Company which has obtained a knowledge of the method employed, is constructing a ship upon the principles discovered, as it is said, by Monsieur Langlume, but which proceed rather on the exp eriments of Tillorier and of Faraday, since the article used is carbonic acid gas, liquefied without machine of compression. All the invention consists in two large gas-producers, the same as Tillorier's, which are supplied with bicarbonate of soda and sulphuric acid. Some drops of carbonic acid, produced and liquefied by this mixture, fall alternately before and behind the pis' tons, and as this gas has a pressure of at least 93 atmos pheres, it undergoes a considerable expansion, which . gio 4 impulsion to the machine. Instead of a c umbersonlo load of coals, a scorching fire, andponderous machinery', a few tons of carbonate of soda and of acid will suffice to traverse the ocean and circumnavigate the globe in less than three months.—Evening Paper. , —.ae DENT'S LECTURES ON WATCHES, AND OTHER TIME-KEEPERS.—An Illustrated Abstract from TWO LECTURES on the Construction and Manage' went of Chronometers, Watcher, and Clocks, delivered by Mr. DENT, in May, 1841, before the Members of the United Ser vice Institution has been arranged for the informati on of general readers.
