EVENING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHB•ONICLE.—The House of Commons which has declared itself in favour of new taxes and monopoly will this day be prorogued by her Majesty, in order forth with to be sent about its business ; and to the hands of the constituent bodies will be confided the cause of the Queen and the people. No friend of his country can look unconcernedly, or without anxious feelings, upon so momentous a conflict. It is not the truth or falsehood of anti-monopoly principles that is at issue ; or the prevalence of those principles wherever popular intel ligence exists. Being true, they must eventually prevail, and their connection with national pros perity is a fact which no voting can falsify. But their timely application to our own country is at stake. In no other way can the already commencing decline of our commercial prosperity be arrested. And yet that application is contested by men who can neither deny the truth of the principles, nor the urgency .of the oc casion. • In London, we have Mr. Alderman Pixie, a candidate for the opportunity of voting against the policy for the adoption of which he lately petitioned ; and his co-petitioner, Mr. Horsley Palmer, actively supporting him in a similar spirit of antagonism to wards his own avowed convictions. Such is the politi cal morality for which we are indebted to Tory partisan ship. The faction preserves its skulking tactics to the last, and goes to the poll only as an universal negation, hoping thereby to catch the support of all sorts of ob jectors,.however incompatible the grounds of their hos tility to the Ministerial policy, or of their discontent with Ministers. In this negative character consists its strength.. It reckons both upon those who object to the persoes now in office, though approving their measures ; and 'those whose hostility is only to their measures and not to their persons ; and it cultivates with unceasing diligence . the wide field of misrepresentation which is left open by this systematic indefiniteness. But the electors must be reminded that they cannot restrict the effeei of their votes to the simple negation of what they deem objectionable. There is no such thing, for in etance, as a vote which shall only tell against the New Poor-law. The elector who hates it' ever so much, if lie poll on that exclusive principle, may be polling infavour of -bread-tax, of ruined mauufactures, of military coer cion. Every voter should sufficiently mitigate the fer vour of his objectiveness to ask himself what he is about to vote for. The positive results are much moae im portant than the negative. TIMES.—On more occasions than one we have assured the country that the Whigs, though resorting to a disso luthee as their last desperate appeal to the wheel of for tune, entertain. nevertheless, a sure presentiment of their own defeat. Of this fact we have furnished, very re centiv, several decisive proofs. When, for instance, the he pettishly flung up the Administration of J usti c e B il ' _ ply because the House of Commons refused to allow its provisions to come into operation till the - 7 .donta. of Octo ber, we clearly demonstrated, that as, such a postpone ment had no other effect than to rel event the Whigs from immediately securing a high egal appointment for Sir John Campbell, their sucl (l 'n abandonment of that measure eehreed indisputable ehidence that they did not expect to be in a condition, ;,our months hence, to confer upon Sir John the profeehional promotion which they had reason ably promie:ed him. Subsequent occurrences, as we shall now show, place this fact beyond the possibility of a dunhe. The Learned Attorney-General having neither succeeded in obtaining his expected preferment, nor taken the usual steps for securing his re-election at ledinburgh, found himself in that very embarrassing predicament which the Scotch humorously desig nate " between • the leeil and the deep sea." Half endowed with the Stratheden Peerege, barren in tarry thing except a hopefal succession, and yet pos sessing neither the permanent means of supporting et, nor even the certainty of preserving his Parlia nientary position as an indispensable ladder to better enospents, Sir John is understood to have discovered eleee, the question between himself and the Dell had be t 0... re a very serious one. Words ran high. Here was n laborious servant of the Whigs who, for the last ve years, had fagged for them night and day. His eight of advancement had been repeatedly foregone by him at their own earnest entreaty. Extraordi nary, bad luck had at length overtaken them. For sakea by all their more respectable friends, one after enother—forsaken by the public press—forsaken by their own hack Parliament—forsaken, indeed, by nearly the whole kingdom—nay, forsaken by every ileflUential party that could afford their old de ?entlents the slightest chance of a retiring compe tenee—what, in the name of mischief, was to be done ? The expected appointment under the Administration of Justic , 2 Bill, which had prevented Sir John from solicit inghis 're-election for Auld Reekie (the Deil's peculiar domain), having provokingly failed, a wistful eye was turned from Edinburgh to Dublin, and a dead set was eaade at the great seal of Ireland, now dangling from the fob of Lord • Plunket's slippered pantaloons. The election in the north was at hand. Not a moment's delay could be brooked. The necessary badgering was prac tised apes Lord Melbourne forthwith. A refusal could not be thought se Off went an official letter to. Lord Plunket demanding his immediate resignation in the eirilet;t way. - POST.—Whatever may be smi7)ectel of joh')ing or of trickery in the other changes, aft the rest sink into in significance in compareeei th the gigantic job of forcing the Lord Chancellor of _lreland out of office in crder to make an opportunity for giving to Sir John Campbell a legal right to a pension of 4,0001. a year for the-remainder of his life. All the accounts from Ireland, the newspapers of all shades of Liberalism .and of all shades of Conservatism, concur in the assertion that the resignation of the Irish seals by Lord Plunket was not a voluntary act ; that his Lordship was literally dragooned and insulted into retirement. And why was this ? Surely not • because his Lord ship had suddenly become incapable of holding the seals during the few weeks that are to elapse before it will be finally determined whether the present Ministers of the Crown shall remain in office. No ! Lord Plunket was goaded into the reluctant act of resignation, because Ministers knew that this question was already virtually determined—because they knew that if the resignation of the Noble Lord were postponed, it would never take Place for their advantage—and because they wished for an opportunity of giving a legal title to a pension of 4,0001. a year to one of their own partisans. We are told by the Morning Chronicle that there is an under standing in virtue of which Sir John Campbell is not to have the pension of 4,000/. a-year on retiring from the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, from which Lord Plunket is just turned out to make room for him. We attach very little value to the " understanding" of which the Chronicle speaks. Will not Sir John Campbell ac quire a right to a retiring pension from the moment the seals are in his hand ? And does our Contemporary believe that the " understanding" of " plain John Camp. 'bell" is of that kind that renders his relinquishment of a legal right to 4,0001. a-year in any degree probable ? The Globe, in announcing the fact of Lord Plunket's re finement, which it intimates ought to have been a little earlier, says that " Sir John Campbell, the At iorney-General, is to be his Lordship's succes sor, and will be elevated to the Peerage previous to his receiving the seals of office," but makes no allusion what ever to the relinquishment of the retiring pension. The Globe is certainly in this instance the better informed, or the more prudent of the two Ministerial journals. The ea and the cruelty, therefore, stand confessed. Lord ilunket has been insulted, and coerced to resign, for the Undisguised purpose of putting 4,000/. a year of the country's money into the pocket of Sir John Campbell for the remainder of his life. CHRONICLE.—The Tory Lords have succeeded in defeating the Criminal Justice Bill. They have de ("Area plainly enough, tint whatever job any one of texm may fix upon as the price of his consent to useful legislation mat be conceded, for that they are reckless of mischief, and will do all in their power to revenge the disappointment of any of their creatures whose bribe has been refused to him. The Criminal Justice Bill was brought in for the purpose of enabling large towns to build gaols where they were wanted, and to obviate the Consequences of that sapient decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, that a borough which has a gaol of its own may send its prisoners to be confined in the county prison, but that a borough which has no gaol may not. These provisions, which constituted the whole Bill as at first framed, passed both Houses with very little discussion, showing that there was nothing in them which was not generally recognised as use ful and desirable. In filet the passing ,of this mea sure was looked for with the greatest anxiety in many very important towns, and the loss of it will be felt with proportionate disappointment and anger. It occurred, however, to certain parties who had been recently de feated in an attempt to dispute the validity of the char ters of incorporation granted to the town s of Ma" h s ter, Birmingham, and Bolton, that they might otherwise attain their ends, if their friends in the Senate would in esist upon their claims being recognised as the condition e of this Bill being allowed to p ass into a law. Attorney-General, who had cha r ge .of the Bill, p rotested ageinst the addition of these compensation clauses (as they were called), which, in fact, might have been tacked with as much propriety to any other Bill of the Session. However, the jobbers at length succeeded in sending tip the Bill to the House of Lords, evith the addition . clauses securing certain annuities to the Coro ners of Warwick and Lancashire, and to the clerk of Peace of Warwick. When these anomalous excres cences were noticed there, the observation was made that there were other parties as well entitled to compensation as those whose cases were there provided for, and Lae length an arrangement was made that the progress of this Bill sheuld be suspended, until another opportunity was given to the House of Commons for reconsidering those other claims. It is important to observe that the Lords were very well aware at this stage that they could not themselves meddle with the compen- Baden clauses, for that such a course, according to the established usages of Parliament, would infallibly oc casion the loss of the Bill. Accordingly, another Bill was brought into the Commons for compensating the clerk of the Peace for Lancashire, who held a patent office in reversion before the granting of the Manchester charter, and in the course of that Bill through the Com mons, the clerks to the justices of Birmingham were added to the swelling list of annuitants. One only re mained unprovided for, the clerk to the justices at Manchester, and it may be thought that not' much could be said for his claim, since, upon its being • brought forward on this second occasion, Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley were found voting with • . the Goyernment, that " really this was too bad." Ac cordingly, the second Bill (known in the House as the Lancaster Clerk of the - Peace Bill) was sent up tee the, Lords, omitting the Manchester Justices' clerk. Wilton, s hosveVer, was more easily 'earwigged than the Rou se o 3; 4 j Sir Robert, 'and - he .determined that if his annuity, would not 'consent to give Mr. Venche t t ee ot.AZeiei,A the House o r Lords should deprive benefit as bauipurpose itsel(v' us malicious H d ering as t h e b ve y : 1 1 ;ro i jectpostriar%toina the rike out the Word Manchest c Bill. This he barely carried THE SUN, LONDON , TUESD V, JUNI; 22. 14.11. and df Efi6iti.nd tte eentfd; dad . lornairig the roof. Her .Ua.jesty's appearance was the signal for. a most en thusiastic burst of cheering from thousands in - the Dock yard and on board the ships, which was taken up by those :on the , Essex phone: The cheering continued severald,lt'ecknowleclged by her Majesty, in the incist affable afiel . gtiag-es ful mariner, , Indeed her , Majesty seemed quite de. , lighted With the andliekrtk rartmierin Which she was greeted. She repeatedly turned 'towards theTra'- falgar and acknowledged the cheers of the veterans, Itlid thronged the upper-deck, by bowing and smiling. Her Majesty, we are happy to say, looked uncommonly, well, and seemed to take a great interest in the whole of the proceedings. She was dressed in a blue satin dress, with a white crape hood, trimmed with blue riband, and wore a white chip bonnet, orna mented with blue feathers. Prince Albert, who also seemed in exellent health, was dressed in plain clothes. He wore, however, the star and riband of the Order of the Garter. Shortly after the Royal party entered the booth they were joined by Admiral Lord A. Beauclerc,l Capt. Hornby,R.N., the Superintendent of the Dockyard, Sir William Symonds, and other officers of the dock-yard. Her Majesty and suite, accompanied by these distin guished officers, and also by Earl Minto, then proceeded to walk round the Trafalgar, Sir William Symonds ex plaining to her Majesty and the Prince the process by which the launch was to be effected. Her Majesty seemed to take great interest in these explana tions,, and, from her ' manner, she appeared to be ad dressing various questions to Sir Wm. Symons, on the subject. During the whole of her progress round the ship her Majesty was loudly cheered ; and on her return ing to the Royal booth, the same enthusiasm was exhi bited as' when she first entered it. Her Majesty then came forward, and stood immediately in front of the booth, and remained there until after the launch had taken place. A gun was fired, and the sound of knocking away the blocks was heard, and every eye was directed towards the ship. " She moves, she moves!" was the cry, and slowly and majestically, " like a thing of life," in all the calmness of conscious power, did the noble vessel glide' into that element which is henceforth to be her home, the scene of her glories, and over which she is to bear in triumph the glorious standard of the oc3an Queen. Shouts of " Success to the Trafalgar," " Hurra," rent the air, as having run out nearly across the river, she swung to her anchor and was brought up. A more imposing and majestic sight was never witnessed, and several old naval • officers who were pre . sent, who had frequently seen in other dockyard;; launches of large ships of war, declared that they had never seen one td equal that of the Trafalgar. Immedi ately the launch was over the steamers and small craft stood close in shore, in order to give their passengers an opportunity of seeing her Majesty, and as each vessel pass ed slowly, those on board enthusiastically cheered the Royal party. Her Majesty was evidently pleased and came forward bowing most affably, so that all present had a full opportunity of seeing their Sovereign. Her Majesty's condescending kindness and affability was the theme of universal eulogium and won her " golden opinion from all sects of men." The Royal party then retired to the house of Captain Hornby, who had the , honour of entertaining her Majesty to lunch : after which the Royal party left - Woolwich in their carriages for London, and were loudly cheered during the whole of their progress. The Trafalgar was taken in tow by two steam tugs, and towed to her moorings off the dockyard, and to-morrow she will be towed down to Sheerness where she will be docked, preparatory to being coppered. The day was exquisitely fine until about ten minutes after the launch had taken place, when a pelting shower came on, which played sad havoc with the ladies, many of whOm were exposed to the pitiless storm from the absolute inability, of the town of 'Woolwich to afford accommodation or even shelter to above one-fourth of those congregated there to see the launch. It was with the greatest diffi culty that anything 'like. conveyance to London could be procured, every steamer and carriage was crammed. No doubt many will be obliged to remain there all night. We arc happy to say that not a single accident of any description has occurred. All the arrangements were admirable, and reflect the highest credit on all concerned. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Immediately on the arrival of her Majesty the yards of the Salamander, and of the other ships of war in the offing, were manned. The execution of this beautiful manoeuvre excited the admiration of all present, and the sight was picturesque in the extreme. The Trafalgar is one of the cleanest and most beautiful models ever launched, and when she is completely rigged, and has all her stores and guns on board, she will be, if not the very finest, certainly one of the very finest ships in the navy. Sir James Gordon, the Deputy-Governor of Greenwich Hospital, from an early hour in the morning, was present, and seemed to take vast interest in all the proceedings. Several of the pensioners of the Hospital were also there, and the hardy old tars seemed quite to grow young again at the inspiriting sight. One of them, a venerable old man, .was close to the bench on which we were standing when the launch took place, " Success to the Trafalgar 1" shouted the veteran, in a voice that would have qualified him for boatswain, and then, as her figure-head (Nelson) emerged from un derneath the shed, he added, in a subdued and almost choking tone, " Ah, poor Nelson 1" A tear glistened in his eye—he dashed it away hurriedly with his cuff, and then, with the voice of a stentor, again raised the cry of " Success to the Trafalgar !" On inquiry we were in formed that he had been one of Nelson's shipmates.. The navy, generally, both officers and men, seemed highly gratified by her Majesty's presence , which t he y I appeared to consider as a happy omen for the service. Iter Majesty appeared to take great interest in every thing relating to the launch, and frequently turned to Prince - Albert, apparently for the purpose of explaining to his Royal Ilighnes hat was taking place. Her Majesty was evidently "'highly gratified at the sponta neous bursts of loyalty with which she was everywhere greeted, and seemed to take pains to come forward, so that all might see her. Judging from what we wit nessed yesterday, we should say that her Majesty has never been so popular as she is at the present moment, — more popular she never could have been. In the booth where we were stationed the ladies ap peared quite enraptured with her Majesty's urbanity and condescension. Many tongues involuntarily exclaimed, " God bless her," as , she passed along, and one old wea ther-beaten naval officer at our elbow exclaimed, " Aye, that's where a Queen of England ought to be, looking at her Wooden Walls." Many of the jolly tars who were stationed in the Trafalgar when she was launched, (and among the hundreds of persons who crowded her decks we saw several ladies), flung up their hats in utter con tempt of where they might fall, when they saw her Ma jesty actually walking round the gallant ship ; and when on one occasion Captain Hornby introduced a lady clad in deep mourning to the Queen, who was understood to be the widow of Captain Hewitt, of the ill-fated Fairy, to whom her Majesty spoke in the kindest and most affable manner, the cheers and hurras of the crowd were terally deafening. CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY The following may be regarded as a correct list of the taveral changes which have taken place in the several departments of Government. Some have been already finnounced ; but we repeat those and add others, in order that the whole may be seen at one view : Sir George Grey is to have the seals of the Duchy of Lancaster committed to him, with a seat in the Cabinet., who is succeeded as Judge Advocate by Mr. Shell, late Vice-President of the Board - of Trade. _ Mr. More O'Ferrall, Secretary of the Admiralty, has been appointed to the post of Financial Secretary of the Treasury, vice Mr. R. Gordon, resigned. Mr. O'Ferrail is succeeded at the Admiralty by Mr, Parker (M.P. for Sheffield), late one of the Lords of the Treasury. The lion, E, a. Stanley, the other Joint-Secretary of the Treasury, has been appointed Paymastor•General of the Forces in the place of Sir Henry Parnell, who, it is reported, retires from Parliament as well as from office. Mr. Stanley's successor as Under-Secretary of the Trea sury, is Mr. Le Merchant, of the Board of Trade, whose election, as Member for Harwich, may be regarded as secure. _ _ ---- The Hon. Fox Maule has been transferred from the Home Department, of which he was the indefatigable Under Secretary to the Vice-Presidency of tile Board of Trade. Mr. Maule is succeeded by Lord Seymour, who has been transferred from the Secretaryship of the Board of Control, in which post he is succeeded by Mr. C. Buller—an appointment which will be regarded as a well-merited recognition by the Government of Mr. Buller's acknowledged talents and consistent support and advocacy of Liberal principles. Lord Plunket has at length resigned the Lord Chan cellorship of Ireland. His Lordship's declining health has long prepared the public for this announcement. Sir John Campbell, the Attorney-General, is to be his Lord ship';: successor, who will be elevated to the Peerage pre vious to his receiving the seals of office. The vacancy i n the number of Treasury Lords, will, it is reported, be filled up by the appointment of the Hon. W. Cowper, now one of the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Bannerman, M.P. for Aber deen, is named as Mr. Cowper's successor at Greenwich. Mr. J. Lefevre, one of the Poor-law Commissioners, is named as Mr. Le Marchant's successor at the Board of Trade. The vacant post of Governor of Bombay is not yet filled up. BEES v. gottiNGs.—Thore might have been seen, not long a go , a t Dr u m, parish of iiirkbean , a goose and gander with a th r i v i n g brood of goslings, running about the fa rm -y ar d, or paddling in the burn which, fed' by limpid s p r i ngs o f C r itf e l Hill, runs sweetly past the house. O n Sunday week, as the family were all going to church, th e birds were turned into a small green to .prevent them from straying within the range of the foxes; or other vermin, which haunt the granitic fissures of Criffel. In this green there happened to be a hive of .bees, .and in escapinw the foxes the po or g ees e fared as. badly as possibl e ' : ha the war begun it is impossible to say ; but, when the inmates returned from church, the whole fleck were found in great agony, their heads having been dreadfully stung by the venomous insects. In a short. time, the old gander and all his p ro g en y diecl, while mother goose herself alone recovered, and that net without the greatest difficulty. Insects in this country are often annoying and troublesoirie - enough ; but this is almost the only instance we know of in which any of the class have inflicted a positive injury of this nature upon the large r animals.—Duinfiies Courier. . Patrick Cahill has been committed-for trial at Liverpool for the wilful murder of Eli Robinson, steward of the ship United States, just arrived from America. The prisoner was a steerage passenger, and stabbed the .li‘_!easet.l several times with a knife, for which the only pr , , vocation seems to have .been'a refusal on Part of 11'46 victim to gi ve hi m to L icco .

THE CONTEMPORAINE TO VICTOR BOHAINE, Ex-editor of the Figaro, ex-editor of the Europe Late raire, ex-publisher of an announced Dictionary, and at the present moment, pending the contingency of a fourth ex, edi tor of the Courrter de l'Europe in London. Siit,—l owe you thanks for the insertion of my letter ; the act evinces a degree of courage and simple candour, but as it happens in all instances of politeness rather reluctantly con ceded, you stopped ha;f way, and your negative does not ex tend beyond the disclaimer of the article in the Morning Post ; so there remains the calumnious and infamous article of the 31st May in the Times ; and you must of course naturally feel, Mr. Victor Bohaine, that the great weight of the latter paper is a paramount motive which places me under the ne cessity of repeating to you what I already wrote to you on the 9.(1 of June ; a circumstance which I assure you gives me much pain. As to the lengthened and very simple statement from yoUrself to the National, it does not concern me in any way whatever, save and except as far as relates to inac curacies respecting facts, and a lack of,sincerity respecting names, which it will be my endeavour to rectify in my next publication, the insertion of which I beg to recommend in your next number, for from the moment the imperfect answer reached me, steps were taken by me so as legally to obtain jus tice of that most base, cowardly, and infamous of calunitzies, by enforcing through legal means, from the Morning Post and Times respectively, the disclosure of their correspondent's name ; so then we shall soon see all about it, Mr. Victor Bo haine, for you may take my word that the matter shall not die " a languishing death." My publication will be ready for sale on the 25th of the month, and will be, word for word, an answer to ysur inaccu rate and not overtrue narration, since you only give the name of one, out of two individuals, viz., the Abbe de Genoude. As to myself, acting openly, boldly, as all those are apt to do who are only led on by lofty and conscientious conviction, I have no motive whatever to imitate what you, Mr. Victor Bohaine, would wish to be mistaken fur a sample of forbear ance or delicate feeling, for which, however, you may rest quite assured no one will give you the least credit, inasmuch as it is ridiculously absurd, since you gave in print. the very next day after the departure of these two individuals, the full names (in your paper) of the Marquis de la Roche Jacquelin and of M. l'Abbe de Genoude. As to myself, ever more favourably disposed towards the military than the clerical cloth, I must fill up the deficiency created by your ingenuous prudence, by confessing that it is you, Sir. Victor Bohaine, who introduced to me ; at my own residence, underhis name and title, the Marquis de la Roche Jacquelin; from this positive fact, the inference . is that you were acquainted with him. However Republican may be my sentiments, and whatever pride I may derive from them, this illustrious name, so thoroughly French, will leave me during the remaining portion of my existence under a pleasing im pression, " like to the remembrance of the twilight belonging to days, alas, long gone ; it flattered, therefore, and pleased me much, when I received the Marquis de la Roche Jacquelin under my roof, and the oily thing that surprised and mortified me was that the Marquis should have selected you, Mr. Victor Bohaine, for the purpose of introducing him to me; a declara tion on my part, which although it may chance not to be abso lutely polite, is nevertheless most positively true. My time being very much taken up, and my eyes being on the eve of numbering sixty-three years, if you will permit me, Mr. Victor Bohaine, I wi.l tell you the remainder in my pamphlet, which will be in circulation on the 30th, and respecting which, by way of advertisement, I beg of your ingenuous, obliging dis position, and perfect delicacy of feeling, that you will be pleased to insert the following : " Truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth." " If all truths are not palatable, it is neither the fault of truth itself, not of those who speak plain truth."—La Con temporaine. Vide the volume on Algiers. CONTENTS.—HEADS OF CHAPTERS.

When the Cutlers' Company at their fiat niegting; petitioned Parliament to reduce the duties of flrazllian produce id March last, it was contended by one of the monopolists that the Bra zilian sugar was very inNrior tU C 919111.4 sugar.

The Chancellor then explained to him that his object was not yet attained, a* Manchester was Gnly named. in the excrescent compensation clauses, and that it would be necessary, for his object, by express words to exclude Manchester from the operation of the general clauses. Meanwhile one of the Tories went away, and the proviso which Lord Wilton moved upon the Lord Chancellor's suggestion, was negatived by one, Lord Normanby then pointed out, amid the general laughter of the House, that Lord Wilton had thus con trived to leave Manchester within the general scope of the Bill, but had succeeded in depriving the Lancashire Coroner of the compensation which the Commons had already agreed should be paid to him from Manchester. Lord Normanby added, that as this was obviously not what had been intended by Lord Wilton, and moreover would inevitably lose the Bill on its return to the Commons, he would not object to the restoration of the omitted words on the third reading ; and with this understanding the House separated on Friday last. Last night, however, the Tory Lords mustered in sufficient force to work, any mischief they had a mind to ; and, utterly regartneas of the agreement entered into the night before ; relying on which the Government were wholly unprepared for op position, Lord Wilton, instead of offering to re-insert Manchester in its former place, moved and carried his rejected proviso of Monday ; and this, of course, as he had been distinctly warned by Lord Normanby on Friday last, necessarily occasioned the l'Jss of the whole Bill.

MONEY WIARKEY and CITY NEWS. FROM 'SHE DAILY PAPERS 0 . 2 THIS DAY. CHRONI`e3LE.— Ships, colonies, and commerce must all -be gainers—all prosperous under the free-trade flag. rine monopolists have the hardihood to deny this, and to assert, on the contrary, that the reduction of the duties on foreign timber weitild be destructive and cala mit,Jus to the shipping it; 'terests. They know this to be a =misrepresentation ed fact, or, in less polite language, .we must repeat, it . a falsehood, " and they know it." The fallacy 4 .1 - 2, indeed, known to all who have read the valuable ',:vidence given before the Committee on Import D u ti ea. The monopolists know this also ; and while ley shrink from attempting to combat the truths which that volume contains, they endeavour to get rid of them by a mere averment that they are partial, and full of errors. Were this allegation true, were that volume open to such attack, it is a natural consequence that those whose views and whose interests are so much at variance with its conclusions would expose its partiality, and show up its faults. But they have done neither, and for the best of all reasons—that the evi dence adduced by the Committee is founded on the imperishable rock of truth, and the more it is sifted the more immovable it has become, and been more deeply rooted in the public mind. The results are plain and conclusive—that by reducing the duties on foreign timber, and withdrawing the restrictions affecting the trade of our colonial possessions, the change would be beneficial both to the colonies and the mother-country, while the revenue would be very greatly increased, and the interests of the British shipowners would also be essentially ameliorated. The public should keep these facts in view, and remember that when they see a certain class of shipowners opposing the change in the timber duties, that these men do so on false pretences. They profess to say that the change would injure the shipping interests, but the fact is that they do so because it would interfere with their own profits of monopoly. This noisy clique to whom we allude are chiefly engaged in the Canada timber trade, that is, they enjoy the benefit of supplying the people of this country with an inferior article at an exorbitant price, and they oppose an altera tion by which the public would be able to purchase superior:timber at a reasonable price. The opinion of Mr. Hume, of the Board of Trade, is, that the country would be gainers by buying up the vessels employed in this monopoly at a valuation, be cause the increase to the revenue by the proposed alter ation would make up the amount in the first twelve months. Let this fact also be kept in view, that the in terests of the British shipowners generally are quite separate. and distinct ; that they would be materially improved by the proposed alterations, the tonnage of the country doubled, and the cost of provisioning and mate rials of ships very essentially diminished. Let it also be borne in mind that the present differential duties compel ship builders and all others to pay a very high price for an inferior timber. Whether the precise changes in the last Budget in respect of the timber duties are the very best that could be proposed, we speak not decidedly. Mr. I M 4 Gregor proposed 7s. 6d. per load on colonial tim ber, and 225. 6d. on foreign timber ; and certainly we are by no means convinced of the expediency of adding to the duty on Canada timber ; it is much used in cottages and by poor people, and, therefore, instead of increasing the import ditties on that article, it seems to us, and to many intelligent mercantile men, that it would be sounder policy to take an additionul 10s. per load off the duty on Baltic timber. This basis of settling the differential duty would give greater relief, and bring the superior article down to a more reasonable price. But these are all matters of detail, open, we conceive, fur fair discussion to all friends of free trade. It is the prin ciple propounded in the Ministerial Budget that we are at present called upon to support, which every friend of his country ought to do with the utmost of his power and abilities. The duties at present charged on foreign oak are about 150 per cent., and 200 per cent. on Nor wegian pine. These are almost prohibitive rates, and afford ample scope for the, pruning knife, the precise extent of which we are willing to leave to the decision of a free-trade Parliament. By reducing them to a rea sonable rate, it is not the British shipowner only, strictly so to speak, that will be benefited, but the people gene rally will be enabled to use better and more durable tim ber. Then the hardy fisherman, by the reduction of the price on Norway fir, will be able to build their boats at a much cheaper rate, and the condition of our mercantile navy will be greatly improved, by an increase of shipping and demand for hands, and better provisions at lower prices. The cost of ship building will be manifestly re duced most essentially. Even the supposed saving of the difference of 51. a ton in the hull, without calculating the advantage the shipowners will receive from a reduction in the cost of the outfits and provisioning, is a most im portant saving ; but when, "II addition to these advan tages, we contemplate the im nense stimulus that the adoption - of a liberal commercial policy will give to our export trade, and the employment it will confer on British bottoms, we conceive it to be as clear as sunlight that no class of men have a deeper stake in the success of the Ministerial policy than the general body of British ship owners. POST.—The English funds have advanced * per cent. further, though the transactions in them continue li mited. We heard of a sale of Consols for time to the extent of 20,0001. to-day, but nothing beyond worthy of notice. ' There are no more quotations of money sales of stocks, of which the books have closed for the dividends. It may be presumed, therefore, that the " fiddling" sys tem has received a check for the moment that will be highly beneficial to unreflecting persons having to do business in the funds, and to the public at large. SUN.—Although the Stock Market was rather thinned to-day by the attractions at Woolwich, those parties who remained to do business seemed to entertain a better opinion of the Market, and the consequence was an im provement in Consols from 89* to 4,t0 894 to I. Ex chequer Bills of 1,0001., were firm at 6 to 8 premium, while the Small Bills touched 10 to 12 premium. Bank Stock was worth 168 to 169, being a rally of per Cent. India Bonds brought 1 discount to 1 premium. South Sea Old Annuities were at 87*, the Long An nuities at 12 13-16, the Reduced Three and a Half per Cents at 98* to t, and the Three per Cent Annuities at 894 to 1. The same inanition was perceptible again to-day in the Foreign Market, and the quotations evinced no symptoms of a rally. The settlement to take place on the 30th inst., promises to be as unimportant as that last effected. The New Portuguese Five per Cents. were heavy at 33 to f, and the Three per Cents. at 19k. Spanish Active Bones were dull at 22 for Money, and 22* for Account ; Mexi can Bonds were at 27 to 268, a slight decline ; Colom bian_ at 204 t o 21 ; Chili an at 60 i to 60 * ; and Braz i l i an at ; Dutch Two-a n d- a -H a lf p totandhadthe a Fiveper moderatea s Cents.eat rather to r 99brought 52 1 r e a l e o r fO.

Rowland a nd Son, 20, Hatton-garden, Londo n :—" Leicester, April 6, 1839.—Gentlemen, About two years ago I lost all my hair in consequence of a fever, so that I was obliged to wear a wig, and being of an advanced age and subject to head-aches, I felt great inconvenience from the misfortune. In this state of things many of my friends proposed to me divers remedies, none of which, however, had any effect, but at last I was induced to try your Maccassar Oil, which in a short time quite restored my locks, so that I have now a remarkably good head of hair for one of my declining years. I am, gen tlemen, your most indebted and obedient servant, WIL LIAM SHEPHERD." ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO A POWDER MAGAZINE.—An attempt was made on Wednesday, the 26th ult., to enter forcibly the powder magazine, situate at Tars Well. Both the padlocks had been most inge niously forced open, and apparently a crow-bar, or other strong iron instrument, applied to the lock which retains the bar in its proper position, and though great violence appears to have been used, it resisted all efforts to force it open. A reward of la has been offered for the con viction of the offenders.—Cambrian. BREAD AND BACON.—One of our trades men, Mr. Young, bacon-factor, of Mary-port-street, has adopted a novel plan of testifying his disa.pprobation of the Corn-laws. From one of his door-posts he has appended an immense flitch of bacon weighing, we un derstand, between 200 and 300 lbs., which he has deco rated with pink and orange ribbons, and a label in scribed in red letters " Real Berkeley bLesn, which every man plight keep in his house if the bread tnx we7v • t ( - ti, decorated with blue ,favours, and inscribed " Miles and Fripp bacon, which a man finds it dit - WCult to buy after paying the monopolists and the baker."—Bristol Mercury. Notwithstanding the threaionitig appearance of yester day morning, the river; from an early hour, presented a scene of unusual animation and gaiety. bteam - -beett Of every size and description,from the tug to the gaily' 'decorated " excursion boat," were in moll& from ten o'clock in the morning, • coni;eying the vast multittides who thronged the veious wharfs and piers on the line route; td the great centre of attraction at Wdolwieh. The Greenwich and Blackwell RailiVeya Also poured in their countless thousands-, avho availed themselves of every possible mode of conveyance to their ultimate destination on the Kent or Essex shore. The vessels in the River were also, with very few ex ceptions, gaily decorated, and the flags of almost every nation in the globe floated on the breeze to hail the arri val of the Trafalgar in the element which is destined henceforth to be her home. Many of the buildings, yards, and wharfs along the River also displayed flags and ban tiers, and not a few were bristling with cannon to greet her Majesty with a Royal salute in the event of her proceeding to Woolwich by water, but the uncertain'y which prevailed upon this point pre vented any arrangements upon an extensive scale. The Royal standard floated from the top of Greenwieh Hos pital, and here many thousands had stationed themselves from an early hour, in expectation that the embarcation of the Royal party would take place at this point. On our arrival at Woolwich we found the streets crowded with visitors, all hurrying to those stations from whence the best view of the interesting proceedings could be obtained. There were abundance of shows and exhibitions in the streets for the amusement of those who could not penetrate the barrier of police constables at the Dock-yard gates, and the tavern and inn-keepers must have reaped a rich harvest. It was rumoured in the metropolis, and also at Wool wich, in the morning that her Majesty would not be pre sent, and although the report did not gain credence, it threw something of a damp upon the general hilarity, but, as the day advanced, the arrangements observable in the Royal booth or gallery at the extreme west of the dock, gave satisfactory assurance to her loyal subjects that her Majesty was about to honour the august and imposing ceremony with her presence. ilThe main entrance to the Dock-yard was kept by a party of the Horse Artillery, supported by a strong body of the R division of the Metropolitan Police. The Carriages of the nobility and gentry began to arrive about twelve, and continued in quick succession up to two o'clock ; but the admirable arrangements of Captain Phipps Horuby, C. 8., Superintendent of the Dock-yard, enabled all parties to obtain access without the slightest confusion or inconvenience. Within the Dock-yard all was high holiday—business of every sort was suspended, and all the officers and workmen were this afforded an opportunity of witness ing the interesting proceeding. On duty, in the yard, were the Royal Foot Artillery, the Royal Marines, the Royal Sappers and Miners, and the 15th Foot, with their splendid bands, which, during the day, were stationed in various parts of the yard, and played a variety of favourite airs. The appearance and dimensions of the Trafalgar have been so often stated that it is almost unnecessary to repeat them. We may briefly state that she is a 120 gun-ship ; her length from figure-head to stern, 246 feet 2 inches ; her extreme breadth, 55 feet 7 inches ; depth in hold, 32 feet 2 inches ; burden, a fraction over 2,721 tons, old measurement ; height, 6 4 feet 11 inches. Her figure-head displays a bust of Nelson, the gallant hero of Trafalgar, touching the very extremity of the shed in which she has been built. She is painted in al ternate strips of drab and white, square stern finished in the plainest and chastest style, with, no other ornament than a row of. fluted pillars between the cabin windows, surmounted by a neat moulding. Not the least interesting portion of the spectacle was a large party of Greenwich pensioners, who were pre sent at the battle of Trafalgar, and who were stationed in the vessel when she was launched. They were all drawn up on the upper-deck "in full fig," their cocked hats profusely decorated with laurel; and the hearty cheers with which they greeted her Majesty . showed that some of the old blood still warmed their veins. The arrangements for the accommodation of the public were as extensive as circumstances would admit. On either side of the ship, seats, ascending tier behind tier, to the extent of twelve or fifteen benches, were erected, and it was calculated that in this way five or six thousand persons were accommodated. The number of applica tions, however, were more than double that amount; and we understand that, in the course of Friday and Saturday, the authorities at the Admiralty were compelled to refuse the applications ofmanv of the mcistdiStinguished families among the Nobility. On Saturday an additional stage, capable of affording sitting room fdr more than a thousand persons, was erected in front of the bows of the Trafalgar, and this also was crowded in every part. The several booths, as they were termed, were distinguished by different letters, the ticket bearing a corresponding one, and a party of the A division of police, stationed et the entrance of the various enclosures, enabled the visitors to find their places without any difficulty. The benches were covered _with bunting, and the union jack and a variety of flags were displayed in every part of the vast amphitheatre, which, when filled with the dis tinguished visitors, three fourths of whom at least were ladies, presented one of the most brilliant and interesting scenes we ever witnessed. At one o'clock the Dock-yard gates were thrown open to the public, and it is needless to say that the rush was terrific—the human stream continuing to pour in almost without. intermission for half. an huur, and by that time every spot from which a glimpse of the vessel, or the gay scene by which she was surrounded, could be ob tained, was occupied. The workmen now began to knock away the shores, and their cheers and cries occasioned no little excite ment in the dense multitude, many supposing that her Majesty had arrived. At length, shortly after two o'clock, when expectation was on tiptoe, the booming of cannon from the heights; and the bands striking up " God save the Queen," gave certain indication of her Majesty's approach. The Royal cortege was preceded by the officers of the various regiments on duty, and proceeded at a slow pace from the dock yard gate to the water's edge, the troops forming a double line along the entire distance, and presenting arms as her Majesty's carriage came in view. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which the Queen and Prince Albert were received on entering the Royal booth, the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs continued for several minutes, and the Royal Pair ap peared highly delighted with the scene, bowing and smiling on all sides. Shortly after, her Majesty presented herself in front of the platform, she pointed to the vessel and appeared, by her gestures, to indicate a wish to examine her more minutely, she then proceeded leaning on his Royal Highness, and attended by the officers of the Dock-yard, close uuder the stern of the Trafalgar, and thence along the western edge of the dock under her bows, conversing familiarly with the officers by whom she was attended. Her Majesty then returned to the Royal booth, and orders to that effect having been issued, at twenty minutes before three o'clock the last shores were knocked away—the bands struck the spirit-stirring strain of " Rule Britannia," and many a heart beat high with pride and ex ultation as amidst the thunder of artillery, and the loud and enthusiastic cheers of the vast multi tude, the majestic vessel, destined to be one of the noblest of Old England's wooden walls, glided gracefully into the water. THE CHRISTENING was performed. The officiating priestess was, we be lieve, the lady of Captain Hornby, assisted by some younger members of his family. An incident worth mentioning gave to the ceremony an interest as peculiar as it was appropriate. In the morning the authorities of the dockyard received from the Countess of Nelson the present of a bottle of wine—a relic of the stock which Lord Nelson had on board " The Victory " at the battle of Trafalgar. This was the bottle of wine which, according to the rites, was broken on the bows of the magnificent ship when she received her name. The day continued fine, with even occasional glimpses of sunshine, for some time after the launch had taken place, but a heavy shower then came on, which pro duced an electrical effect in clearing the yard and its vicinity. Not the least graceful or interesting of the proceed ings of the day, was the circumstance of her Majesty's visit having occasioned the release of a number of the most deserving of the convicts, and while contributing to the enjoyment and gratifications of thousands, her Majesty forgot not to exercise the brightest and most beneficent attribute of Royalty, by giving liberty to the toil-worn, captive, and letting the oppressed go free. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The appearance of the river was superb. The Essex shore as far as the eye could reach, was thronged by per- sons anxiously directing their gaze towards the Dock yard. Steamers, decked out with flags, and crammed with passengers, continued to arrive, and were arranged in such amanner as to be out of danger, and yet to secure a sight of the launch for all. The form adopted for arranging the ships and steamers, so as not to interfere with the launch, was that of a double crescent, extending_ east and west of the Trafalgar from the Kent to the Essex shore, thus leaving an amply sufficient space between the two tiers for the launch. Immediately to the east of the Tra falgar were her Majesty's yacht, William and Mary, two of her Majesty's cutters, and her Majesty's steava frigate Salamander ; the decks of all these vessels were fitted up with seats rising one above another for the accommodation of visitors, with whom they were crowded ; by far the greater number consistin; ofladies. Outside the Salamander was the Royal Yacht Club yacht Reindeer, and several other yachts and merchant vessels. Shortly before two o'clock the Commercial Steam Packet Company's large first class steamer Princess Victoria came down the river, her decks crowded with passengers, and took up her station to the north of the eastern cres cent. Immediately to the west of the Trafalgar, and consequently the southernmost vessel of the Western crescent, was her Majesty's steam-packet Fire brand, under a complete arch of flags ; considerable at tention was attracted to the Firebrand, during the early part of the morning, in consequence of a rumour which had obtained extensive circulation, that it was her Ma jesty's intention to return from Woolwich in the Fire brand, and land at Deptford. _ This rumour, how ever, turned out to be unfounded. The re mainder of the western crescent was Principally composed of river steamers and small craft. The boats of the Thames Police and of the Harbour Master were con stantly rowing about the lines for the purpose of pre serving order and preventing accidents. Precisely at two o'clock a Royal salute, tired: by .the Cadets of the Royal Military Academy, announced the approach of the Royal party, anc. the bands in the dock yard and. these on board the different vessels, struck up the national anthem.

I stated also that I had supported the repeal of :he window tax, a reduction of the public expenditure, the aboli tion of Church .rates. and a liberal system of education for the people. I have uph eld these opinions dur:ng the ten yens that I have sat in the House of Commons, and I still adhere to them.

H.AN DERSON, the GREAT WIZARD of t he NORTH, now nightly performing at the above Theatre hi s wonderful proof nd incredible feats of Necromancy and Occultomacy. As a of the rising reputation and renown of this distinguished and not-to-be-equalled Mysteriachist, the Theatre is ni,ghtly crowded by ASTONISHED A ND DELIGHTED AUDI ENCES, comprising the elit e of Science, Literature, and Fashion, in and around the Metropolis. To attempt to enu- merate or descant on the wonder-vvorkings of this unparalleled artiste would be useless —they must be seen to be believed, a.nd *hen seen, must be pronounced the ne plus ultra of all that is astonishing, delightful, and rational. The various de lusions performed by THE GREAT WIZARD OF THE RT are entirely different from those w hich gained him NOs i m mense H patronage at t h e Strand Theatre some time back, uch which even at that time were unive:sally allowed to be without parallel. The incredibilities he now enacts are the result of many years' research, inagatigable study, and perseverance, to say nothing of his magnificent display of solid silver apparatus, forming a taut ensemble at once unique and elegant, and alone worthy the public attention and admiration. at present sojourning in the Metropolis sh the ould i M not ' - Ad e lphi Theatre —the Temple of ag - treat in London.
