I make this, appeal with the me 1 15% ' fidence because you have, I regret to observe, given ig colour to the misrepresentation I complain vf, and alllfh because I am assured that in consequence, on Sunday next, I am to experience a compulsory cold bath in the Serpentine. No one has less desire than I have to en gage in a quarrel with the working classes of this coun try, Or to be the means of imposing any restraint upon them which the honest majority of them deem to be unnecessary. I suppose it will .be told me—How, then, can you go on with your bill after the demon stration in Hyde park last Sunday? My answer i?, that the meeting was convened by a placard most assiduously circulated all over London in conspicuous type, in which the following description was given of the Sunday Trading Bill :—" To put down newspapers, shaving, smoking, eating, and drinking, and all kinds of food and recreation for body and n.iind at present en joyed by poor people." Now, the provisions of the bill do not interfere in any way with any priblichouse, beer. house, coffeehouse,. eatinghouse, pastry cook, bakers' shops, steamboats, omnibus, or railway, nor with the sale of any of those small luxuries in the shape of gin ger-beer, fruit, &c., which are usuallysold ie baskets and barrOw s by the poorer classes. It forbids the sale, in ordi nary ehop„, of articles of raw food after 9 o'clock in the mor ning, ' and the 14th clause is especially aimed at that practice, as f aras it exists, so graphically deseribed in your peult er ers, and butchers to mitister to the article ofT uesday—the sen di ng f or th t ra i ns °journeymen fishmongers, the wealthy. Newspapers and periodicals are not to b e sold after 10 o ' clock. I t i s believed' hat luxuries of t t h h e a l t hourare taken can and do' resort to th e those, who may b y accident not b ea bl e on an y giv en Sun day to p rocure what they want of these art i cles b efore coffeehouses where in, and A here in fact, the newspaper anciperiodical readers of the working-class usually go to peruse them.

OF .AZOFF. THE LIGHT SQUADRON IN THE SEA there. - On lauding they were met by the commandant and his staff, dressed In uniform, and found 'there horses and car riages waiting. Part of them mounted, and went to burn a quantity of haystacks on the pliff, which were destined for the Crimea; others were taken in a cateche to the command ant's house, accompanied by it few Marines, for whom a ve hicle was - also provided. The commandant took them round ,the town, showed them the stores, and had the doors forcibly opened wherever they were found locked. He caused the grain, &e., to be conveyed outside the town, and provided tar barrels to make it.burn quicker. The highly polite re ception we met with here caused some surprise and pleasure, and 'a little suspicion. Perhaps; having been forcibly deprived by the Government of their, property for the benefit of the Russian army; and finding that army tumble to protect them, they did not care whether it was destroyed by us, or sent on to the Crimea. I believe that it is a novel feature in warfare for the Weaker party to send, unasked, carriages and horses for the stronger ,to ,drive about in ! At all events,-it is a practice highly to be recommended. In the evening the squadron started for Temrionk— 38 miles to. the eastward of Yenikale—leaving the Curlew to blockade the Gulf of the Don. • It must be remembered that the SWailoW was left at Genitch to prevent avyeommuicatiou : along the Tongue of Arabat.

On Tuesday evening Lord Parunure received intelli gence, per telegraph, from the Crimea, announcing the death of Major-General J. Bucknall Estcourt, Adjutant- General of the Forces in 'the Crimea, of cholera, on the 23d inst. His lordship immediately communicated the mournful intelligence to the deceased's eldest brother, Mr. Sotheron, M.P., of Eaton-place. The deceased went out last year with the staff of Lord Raglan, and through out the severe winter campaign he erjoyed tolerably good health ; indeed his last letter .from the Crimea, which was received in London on Monday morning, was written in the most cheerful tone possible, giving the fullest assurance that, according to his judtnient, Sebasto pol would soon be in the hands of the allies. Mrs. E. Estcourt has been visitiog, her husband,and for the last few months has.heen• at Constantinople and'Ealakla mt . General Estcaurt served iu the expedition to the River Euphrates from January,, 1835, to 1837, and for. his ser, Vices on that occasion he was Promoted to the brevet rank of lieutenant-colonel. He served as adjutant-general throughout the Eastern campaign of 1854, including the battles of the Alma, Balaklaita, - and Inkerman, and the siege of Sebastopol. An official order from the Horse Guards , was received at Chatham on Tuesday by the Commander of Chatham Garrison, directing that returns are to be made and for warded to her Majesty as soon as possible, of the names of all the wounded soldiers from the Crimea who were paraded for her Majesty's inspection on her recent visit to Chatham on the 19th instant.

All Leonid. see of the town was a church, some large buildings and stacks of . 'what appeared to be grain.

The wind and sea were still too high' for any boating cpe rations, and the squadron remained at anchor. until next day, when it was found impossible even for boats to reach the town, on account of the shallow water ; so part of the ships returned to Kertch, and others, including the Miranda, pro ; ceeded to Arabat.. Our foray through the Sea of Azoff has been most.successful. Toe communication has not only been destroyed by water; but also along the Tongue of Arabat, and the route of Perekop and through the Putrid Sea are now the only ones open to the Russians.

Theadjourned half-yearly meeting of the Class A share holders of this company was held yesterday at the office, Parliament-street; Mr. F. Edwards in the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the meet ing was to complete the business which had been left undone. Since the adjournment on the 26th of April last several of the proprietors had kindly offered their services to assist the directors, with a view to get the company out of its difficulties. They bad acted very cordially with the directors, and had agreed upon cer tain resolutions, which would be submitted to the meet ing. The first business they had to proceed with was the election of directors and auditors. Mr. F. Edwards and Mr. J. Montague, the retiring directors, were re-elected, and Mr. R. C. Cheltenham .was elected a direBtor, in the room of Mr. Maudsiay, resigned. Mr. Groves was elected an auditor in the room of Mr. Wythes._ The CHAIRMAN said it yvts proposed to send a depu tation from the board to Canada, in order to negotiate with the railroad company and the local Government, with the view of making arrangements for the comple tion of the railway to Woodstock as soon as possible. In the course of a short discussion, a series of re solutions were passed, expressing surprise and re gret that the New Brunswick Government persist in their refusal to deliver to the railroad company the f1tip.' 4 #1,40 , .4 11, -vespeetref — theistrares - wWi' vernment have,subscrilied, notwithstanding that the expenditure made by the company fully entitles them to the debentures ; the result of this proceeding would be to delay the works and damage the credit of the province; expressing deep regret that the bill sanc tioning the plan to complete the works was lost by a majority of one in the last cession, through the divided support of the . Go - vernment ; also expressing regret grid surprise that the hirther grants of land which the Class A shareholders were led to expect would be transferred to the railway company as heretofore, have also been withheld, by which course the completion of the line is materially impeded and a valuable source of raising capital taken from then, ; and authorising a deputation to proceed to Canada, for the purpose of negotiating with the railway company and the Government for the completion of the railway to Woodstock, and otherwise to forward the interests of the company. A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors con cluded the proceedings.

The emigration to Australia from Liverpool proceeds with the same rapidity as hereto. fore. Amongst the foremost of the first-class clipper ships may be mentioned the Star of the East, Captain Christian, belonging to the Black Star line, under the direction of Messrs. Henry Thomas and Co., which is appointed to sail on the 20th of next month, with the same punctuality as the royal mail ships. She is a mag nificent vessel of 3,000 tons ; and on her return from her last voyake she was the subject of a good joke. The Encounter, 14, steam-frigate, was in the river for a few days, and the people of Liverpool, unused as they are to the visits of men-of war, crowded the approaches to view her, and all were loud in declaring their admiration of the Encounter ; but it turned out that the ship was the Star of the East, and the Encounter had sailed two days before. Her passenger accommodation is being rapidly filled up, and there is every probability of her making a very rapid passage. {ADVERTISEMEN"r,I — Among the numerous extraordinary cures without medicine effected by Da Barry's delicious Health-Restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, the following is not the least remarkable :—Maastricht, Holland, 7th August, 1854.--My daughter Virginie had long been consumptive, with diarrhoea and night sweats, and was in July last reduced to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi cal men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, and that she could not survive many days. Upon the recommenda tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revaleuta Arabica, which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate change for the better in the symptoms. After the first few meals she felt less 'miserable, and in six days the diarrhcea and night sweats had left her.

In my last letter I left off with the bats of the boats ready to attack Taganrog. I now proceed with iny'account. Our arrival so close to the to n had evidently caused some sur prise and great consternation, for the people assembled in crowds on the cliffs and operi spaces to look at us, and we could observe women kneeling down and praying outside the . churches. Taganrog; is built on a IoW cliff.. The part .we could see most plainly consisted of two or three churches and a • number of detached buildings, which looked like tarracks. One of these was a handsome edifice, which the interpreter beforementioned, whom we 'brought away from Berdiansk, told me was an hospital, and his information proved to be cor rect. Besideilliis, were some fine holises—one of them ap parently the Governor's. Below the cliff was the Custom-house, a large yellow build ing, . with small buildings attached, and sentry-boxes • and flagstaffs were all painted black and white, as is usual in Rus sia ; also a long range of storehouses; a building yard, with sonic 20 vessels, and a large raft - of store timber, which bad -probably been floated down the Don. :No batteries could be seen. On an elevated mound in the town we could see some • embrasures, but they were all in a dilapidated state, and gave us-no cause to suspect that any guns were mounted there. When the flag of truce went on shore the governor was not forthcoming. They said he had gone out of the town, and an hour was granted for them to sent to him. At the expira tion he , replied to the"usual &initial—viz., that all shipping. and Government property should be given up without remist once, and that private:property should be respected—that Ire would not comply with it,; that lie had a number of troops in the town, and could not submit without a fight: Accordingly the two boats returned with the -intelligence; and the flag of truce was hauled down: and the boats, which had been formed in a long line astern of the Danube and the Recruit, advanced, our rocket boats on the right, aNclthe French boats on the left. We could see Cossacks drivin back and dispersing the .ds of people . asserabled - on the cliff, a sure sign of what they expected. At 9.31 i a.m. the first shot, an eight-inch Moorsom's shell, was fired from the Recruit; it struck the Custom-house and burst inside. The Danube also fired rockets at the same building, and, after both steamers had directed their fire on it for about half-an-hour, flames broke out from every part, and it burnt fiercely the whole day. It was full of grain or other stores for the Russian army. Soon after our fire com menced the Russians hoisted black flags on three of the most conspicuous buildings, to denote that they were hospitals, and, as far as I could see, they remained untouched by our fire at the close of - the day, although in such a crowd of building, it was difficult to avoid occasionally striking any one'in particUlar. Large convoys were seen leaving thetown, consisting of the inhabitants driving off their cattle, removing their effects, &c. The boats advanced unmolested, as the Russians had no artillery to reply to the fire of our guns ; but troops were seen partially concealed behind a church and the supposed governor's house. The boats poured a heavy fire of shells and rockets into the long range of buildings on the beach to flue them and dislodge any troops which might have been concealed there, and when they arrived. within range the Russians replied with a fire of musketry, which, happily, had little effect. Orders had been given in the morning not to fire at the churches, but when the Russian troops were seen to shelter themselves in them, and to fire from behind the railings out side, the orders were cancelled, and shells and rockets., di rected at the church in question soon dislodged the enemy. The governor's hOuse fared no better, and a large fire, broke out in an adjoining building. While all this was going on a man ran down to the beach, near the Custom-house, took off his cap, waved it over his head, and gesticulated violently, until a boat went in with a white flag and brought him to Capt. Lyons, who was on board the Recruit. When he first came he was so drunk as not to be able to give an account of himself. He was dressed in uniform, and, when he became tolerably sober, stated that he belonged to the Commissariat, and was attached to the hospital, in which there were nearly 200 men. He said that the troops in the town consisted of four regiments of Cossacks. On being asked his reason for deserting, he said that neither he nor the other soldiers were well treated, and that he had heard that the English brandy was very good, and that he wanted to taste it, and requested to have some. However, he was considered to have already had enough--at least for the present. Another modest re quest he made—that he might be put on shore again—was also refused. I think it probable that many others would have come over to us—if they had had an opportunity—but too many desert ers are, after all, a great encumbrance. Many men were seen, while our fire was hottest, to take off their caps and kneel down, facing towards the boats. • At 11.30 a.m. there was five distinct fires in the town and storehouses, including the shipping and,large Taft of timber before mentioned, These were all one, the eastern side of the promontory on which Taganrog is built. On the western side the scene was different, large flocks of geese were swim ming about, and a herd of cattle, standing leg-deep in the water, reminded me strongly of the prints of Landseer's pic tures of " Peace " and " War," which one sees in the win dows of print shops in London. By 3.15 p.m. our object was accomplished, and the boats returned. The damage done was immense. All the Govern- meat buildings were in flames, and would soon be utterly consumed. Two churches were considerably damaged, and the town itself had not escaped. From the custom-house, which was at the point of the promontory, to the shipping in the bay to the eastward, could not, have been less than a mile and a-half, and was a nearly continuous line of flame. The governor's house, close to whielvwas another large fire, was on the cliff aboTe,_. of the, - mom inittrierincrwoundea mat a en could erable. Our less was merely some two or three very aightly wounded. That it was not greater is to be attributed more to the vigor ous and overwhelming fire kept up by the boats, which pre vented all serious molestation, than to what people might er roneously suppose was the unarmed state of the enemy, who poured in a sharp and constant fire of musketry. Bad our men landed to burn the buildings without baying been covered by the fire of the boats, they would ha v e b e en in- evitably cut off by the Cossacks, and Our loss might have been serious. Still I consider the means of resistance the Russians possessed far inadequate to repel the great naval force we could bring against them, and ib must have been as evident to them at to us ; moreover, that the governor was greatly to blame for exposing the inhabitants to so much un necessary misery to satisfy a point of false etiquette. Ido not recognise the beauties of a paternal Government which causes so much affliction to its subjects. There is, however, another side to the question, which at first did not occur to me. The governor, mindful of the adage that " Charity be gins at home," might have thought tha4 had he surrendered without resistance, ho would shortly have paid an unwilling visit to Siberia, or remained as a private soldier where he was then in chief command. The boats brought back with them from the shore another prisoner, who was taken with a musket in his hand. He was a civilian, and was groggy. He said that the police had yes terday issued arms to the inhabitants, and t o ld th e m to de- fend themselves. The gunraft, mentioned in my last letter, proved of great service. Upwards of 80 rounds were fired without causing the least damage to the raft. It has since been towed some hundred miles astern of the Stromboli, going at full speed and in rough weather, and is now as strong as when it was first constructed. The boats returned to the ships about 8 p.m., bringing down with them two Greek vessels found at anchor off Tagan rog, and which their respective masters declared had been detained there by the blockade. No doubt, they have made a good thing of it daring the past winter, by conveying stores for the Russian army across the Sea of Azoff. They will be towed to Kertch, and cast adrift in the Black Sea, and there by be prevented from rendering any further assistance to the Russians. The operations of the day wore under the sole direction of Captain Coles, of the Stromboli. Captain Lyons was present, but did not interfere. During the day the Minna went with a launch to the mouth of the Don to destroy some vessels seen there. The water was so shallow that she was unable to roach them, and all, except one, escaped up the river. The shallow water at the entrance of the Don is to be regretted, as we are thereby pre vented from extending our operations up to Azoff and Rostoff, where it is said there are a number of gun-boats and a great quantity of military stores. There is a manifest deficiency in the equipment of this squadron. I allude to the want of a land force to co-operate 'with the boats. The vessels composing the squadron could easily carry 500 more Marines, who would prove of the most essential service, and enable us to pene trate into the towns, and thereby destroy stores, &c., at a distance from the water, whereas at prese n t it i s rar ely safe to land in a town offering resistance, or, at all events, to move the seamen and few Marines we have beyond the beach, lest they should be cut oft' by au unseen enemy. These 500 Marines would land, taking field-pieces with them, and prove more than a match for four times their num b ers of Cossacks. JuNe 14. The squadron weighed, and anchored off Marionpol, a neat looking town, apparently incapable of offering any resistance. A church and club-house are, as usual, the most prominent buildings. The latter seems to be, an institution common to all Russian towns I have seen. They are generally very con spicuous, having green roofs. _Few. there aro who have seen Sebastopol and do not recolleeti tho club-house there— so plain to be seen, but so difficult to be entered. JUNE 5. At 6.30 a.m. the boats went.in with a flag of truce. The Austrian Consul came down, authorised to surrender. He said that some troops had left the town yesterday as soon as We arithored. As ho Would not consent to our destroying some storehouses, fun of grain, which he asserted were pri vita property, all of which grain goes to support the Rustian armies in the Crimea, Captain Lyons ordered the ilag Of truce to be hauled down, and a feW shatS Were fired from the ships by *ay of effect. A shot fired from a gun boat struck the: Church; fell over the porch, and the shot ell td the Frrouridi A • Rtissian ran np to it, tried to lift it, but he could not ; so he proceeded to roll it away across the .open ground in front Of the church. In this he was assisted by andther tninnd they soon got it out of sight. Parties of seamen and Marines Were landed, and marched through the town ; no molestation was offered to them ; indeed most of the inhabitants had deserted the place, and the few who remained gave every assistance, pointed out the stores and public buildings, and even gate beer to the men. There Were no 'kakis, but some vast grain stores, the police and passport-office Custom-house, dm., were burnt. Geese and pigs seem to be the live stock most abundant in these Rus shin towns, and to-day a great number of geese —some say unite 100—were brought off by the boats. The sailors chased .them about, shot them, and cut them down with swords, assisted by the Russians, who seemed to enjoy the fun. After an expedition of this sort, nothing is more common than to see some large pigs lying in the boats, which the sailors have slain with their cutlasses. The French are the best hands at plundering. It is said that on these occasions they always tell off a party for the purpose, and that the Koceeds aro divided. I hear that in Kertch they used to wander about the town armed, and when they found anything worth having would post themselves as sentries on the house, allow no English to enter, pretending that they had special orders to admit no one, and, when assistance came up, would carry off what they had found for the benefit of themselves and their officers. This may not be true, but it is very probable. In Marioupol they found a lot of money in a cart, leaving the town, and carried off for their own benefit. For this, how ever, they cannot bo blamed. In the afternoon the squad ron moved to Gheisk, at the opposite side of the Gulf of the Don—a small town, and not of much consequence. JUNE 6. The boats were manned and armed early in the morning, ready to go in, and a flag of truce was sent forward, as usual. About noon the boat with the flag of truce returned, saying that no resistance would be attempted. Accordingly, only a few officers went in, with some Marines and a party of French, tv )barn and 4eztro7 whatever Government atone might 1,0 ADMINISTRATIVE _REFORM. In compliance with a requisition to the churchwardens a meeting of ratepayers was held last night at the vestry room, St. Anne's, Westminster i for an etpression of opi nion upon that system of administrative incapacity and un business-li ke management in every department of the state, by which during the present war 'the country has suffered such fearful and disgraceful disasters, and the burden of taxation upon the people had. been increased to an enormous and unnecessary extent ; and likewise to petition the legisla ture in favour of administrative reform, upon the basis of thorough responsibility, promotion for merit, and efficient management in every department and office of the govern ment. Mr. C. JEZTERYS, senior churchwarden, occupied the chair. Mr. C. GEORGH moved the first resolution, which was an echo of the first clause of the requisition as given above. He regretted the lukewarmness displayed by the parish of St. Anne upon the great question of administra tive reform, but had no doubt, notwithstanding occasional instances of local apathy, that the movement recently set on foot in the city of London would go on prosperously; and indeed it was highly necessary for the sake of the coun try that it should do so, as all - must think who had heard of the numerous cases of mismanagement and improper ap pointments which had recently been brought before the public. There were two such cases which bad come under his own notice, and which he would mention, as ho could vouch for the accuracy of what he was about to say. The first case was that of a young gentleman of 16. He was the son of a military officer, and was presented to a situation in the War-office at a salary of 801. a-year. He had not been there six weeks when the gentleman who had got him the appointment sought out his father, and asked him if he would like anything better for his son. The father, of course, said yes, and the youth was given an appointment in the Commissariat, and sent to the Crimea, at a salary of 4001. a-year. It was ridiculous to suppose that a youth of 16 could render adequate services for such a salary ; and yet the case came to him from a respectable solicitor who knew the family well, and could vouch for the facts. (Hear.) The other case had happened within the last six ' weeks. Sir C. Trevelyan wont to a gentleman who held a responsible office in the Treasury, and whom he (the speaker) would call Mr. C., and placed under him a youth to see what ho was fit for. Mr. C. tried him/ well, and some, little time after reported to Sir C. Trevelyatt that he was not fit for anything. (Laughter.) Sir C. Trovalyan asked why not? when Mr.C. said he could not even write. (Laughter.), Sir Charles Trevelyan in turn reported this , to the nobleman who had recommended the youth, who only said, " Oh, then, let C. teach him to write. (Shame, shame.) Surely it was high time to put an end to such a stajes i f M ..4 41 t0 0E4:4 -)sotddr:isil3o% result disas-.. tronsly to the public service. (Hear, hear.) He agreed with what had been said in different places, that a good deal of the evil of improper appointments arose from the practice of electors applying to their representatives for places for their relatives and friends, but believed that this was more general in small than in large constituencies. At Great Grimsby, for instance, he knew of one gentleman who had got three sons into the customs there, and a fourth into the customs hero; and it would he monstrous to sup pose that the three sons at Grimsby were the best fitted for the places they had got there. (Hear.) With regard to the support rendered to the question of administrative reform by members of Parliament, the great body of the metropolitan members, at all events, had not done their duty in attending public meetings. So far as they were themselves concerned, Sir De L. Evans had given in his written adhesion to the movement ; but Sir J. Shelley had not done so, and to his (Mr. George's) knowledge bad even interfered to endeavour to do away with a meeting in a neighbouring parish, or at all events to prevent it from pressing too severely upon Lord Palmerston. (Hear.) The truth was, Sir John Shelley Was a complete automaton in the hands of Sir B. Hall, who without doubt had intro duced him to that constituency, and probably he hoped to step into something good,sss his patron Sir B. Hall had him self done. The on dit was that he expected to be made paid chairman of the Central Board of Public Works, and yet of all the men among the metropolitan members, there was no man so great a sham as a man of business (he said this as a man of business himself) as Sir J. Shelley. (Hear, hear.) After some able remarks upon the general ques tion, the speaker concluded by claiming earnest support for the Administrative Reform movement. Mr. ROGERS, in seconding the motion, passed some se vere strictures upon the conduct of Sir J. Shelley, as re presentative of Westminster. Sir John had polled more votes in that parish than had ever been given to a liberal candidate before. He had, however, not been sent to Par liament merely to be a Whig hack, and it was with intense disgust that he (Mr. Rogers) had seen the name of Sir J. Shelley in the division list against Mr. Layard's motion. He had given deep offence by that vote to the electors of Westminster, and he would find at the next election that he could not so act with impunity. (Cheers.) Mr. BULL supported the motion, as did also Mr. J. GEORGE, who made some very severe remarks upon the conduct of Sir J. Shelley, and denounced the undue weight of German influence in the affairs of the country. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. HAGUE moved the second resolution, urging the necessity of a rigid examination as to fitness for place, and of promotion solely for merit. Mr. DOWERS seconded the motion. Mr. BARLOW having spoken in support, the motion was unanimously adopted, as was also a petition to the House of Commons, based upon the previous resolutions, pro posed by Mr. Cox, and seconded by Mr. BAILEY, the peti tion to be forwarded for presentation to Sir De Lacy Evans. The proceedings closed by a vote of thanks to the chair man, who, in reply, expressed his regret that his position had prevented hire from answering arguments from which he dissented, as, although he had presided in his capacity of churchwarden, he did not agree in the objects of the meeting. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. Yesterday the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, M. P., distri buted the prizes to the medical pupils of this hospital who most distinguished themselves at the examination held at the close of the last medical session. There were present the Hon. A. Percy, the Hon. Captain Maude, R.N., Mr. Michael Smith, Mr. Tooke, Mr. A. Sheddon, and a large gathering of the governors of the institution. Previous to the presentation of the prizes a report was read stating that since the last distribution, on the 18th of October, 39 new students had joined the medical school, making the total number there receiving inetruc tion 60. The demand for surgeons and dressers in the Crimea had taken off a large number of students from the pursuit of their studies. Two had passed the M.B. examination of the 'University of London, and two more were preparing for the same severe ordeal. The report regretted that there was an unwillingness among the students to act as clinical clerks, and suggested the esta blishment of resident scholarships as aremedy for the evil. The prizes were awarded as follows : Medicine—Mr. Joshua Plaskitt, Louth, Lincolnshire. Surgery-Ist, Mr. Joshua Plaskitt ; 2d, Mr. John Thomas Rouse, London. Physiology-Ist, Mr. Thomas James Cooper, Canterbury ; 2d, Mr. John Tatham, Burton in Lonsdale, York. Anatomy—Mr. John Tatham. Practi cal Anatomy— Mr. John Frederick Mitchell, Cardigan. Chemistry—Mr. John Tatham. Practical Chemistry— Mr. John Bake Husband, Bideford. Midwifery—Mr. Joshua Plaskitt. Matoria Medics—Mr. John Tatham. Forensic Medicine—Weekly examination, MI. J. Plaskitt; general examination, M r . J os h ua Plaskitt. Botany—Mr. Horatio Edsal, Truro. Clinical Medicine—Mr. William King Bullmore, Falmouth. Clinical Surgery—Mr. Joshua Plaskitt. Treasurer's Prize—Mr. Joshua Plaskitt. Hono rary (certificates of general good conduct and diligence were also awarded to thirteen students. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of his address to the students, remarked upon the loss which they had lately sustained in the death of their tried and valued friend, Sir Robert Inglis, who had so frequently presided at the distribution of prizes. There were two circumstances mentioned in the report which were very gratifying. One was the great assistance which the medical staff of the hospital had afforded to the sick poor of the neigh bourhood during the prevalence of the cholera ; and the other, that the institution had been the means of supply ing a great number of valuable recruits to the medical staff in the Crimea. He would impre=s on them that it was to their merit and proficiency that the institution was to look for its character as a medical school. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the bon, gentleman for hill kindness in presiding, for service in the Crimea to all those non-commissioned officers and soldiers at the invalid depots, from nearly every regiment engaged in.the campaign in the East, as soon as everything is ready. There is now at the Case mates' a corporal of the 44th Foot who has received 7 gunshot wounds in various parts of his body ; he has also lost his right eye by a musket-ball, which remains just over the ball of the eye, and is easily felt by the touch of the finger. The ball cannot be extracted with out extreme danger. The whole of the shots he received in an attack on the rifle-pits before Sebastopol. Major-General Torrens has been appointed Military Commissioner representing the British Government at the Court of the Tuileries. The gallant officer left town for Paris on Monday last. The Imperieuse, 51 guns, screw steam-frigate, Capt. R. B. Watson, C. 8., which arrived at the Nore on Wed nesday, left Sheerness yesterday at 9 a.m., with two mortar-vessels in tow, direct for the Baltic. The Calcutta, 84 guns, Captain J. J. Stopford, is under orders to sail to-morrow morning direct for the Baltic. She takes 175 supernumeraries, all of whom were paid their advance yesterday on board that ship. Her deficiency of Marines, who were left in the Baltic, has also been made up by a draught from Chatham. They have also received their usual advance. The Retriever screw steam transport, No. 180, Capt. Baker, arrived at Spithead from the East on Wednesday night. She left Scutari June 5, Malta 12, and Gibraltar the 19th. She only brought six seamen passengers and a few Government stores. Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, left - last evening with his flag in the cutter yacht Fanny for Torquay on an official visit. The Arabia steam. transport, Capt. Stone, has replenished her stock of coal from the depots in Portsmouth harbour, and is pre paring for the reception of 100 horses for the Crimea. The Cornet steam-tug went to Cowes yesterday morning to embark troops to convey to Southampton to ship for foreign service. Orders have arrived at Sheerness for the Janus, 4, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander C. C. A. Kane, to be put out of commission. Her engi neers, warrant-officers, and a portion of her seamen will be retained for future service in her. The paddle-wheel steam-ship Dee sailed from Ply mouth on Wednesday for Woolwich, and the steam tug boat Busteer for Constantinople. The transport Dodo, No. 221, arrived on Thursday to embark horses for the Crimea. The screw steam-ship Brunswick, lately launched at Peinbroke, is appointed to sail for Plymouth on the Ist of July, to be fitted for commission. On Tuesday evening 180 fine young men, chiefly vo lunteers from the North Down Militia, embarked at Belfast to join the service companies of the 20th and other regiments now engaged at the seat of war. The majority of the volunteers are from the rural districts. A writer in the Dublin Evening Mail states that the adventurouslady alluded to as having paid a visit to the Mamelon Tower was the wife of Lord George Paget, the commanding officer of the 4th Light Dragoons, and one of the cavalry brigades in the Crimea. ANNIVERSARY OF HER MAJESTY'S .---40RONATION. Yesterday being the anniversary of her Majesty's coro nation, the usual display of flags, ringing of both., and other loyal demonstrations took place throughopt the metropolis. • - , SHEERNESS, THURSDAY. To-day being her Majesty's coronation day, a general holiday was observed throughout every department in her Majesty's yard, Sheerness. The vessels lying in the harbour were one mans of flags, from the royal masthead, extending from the flying jibbboom to the spanker boom end, level with the water. At twelve o'clock a Royal salute of 21 guns was fired from her Majesty's guard ship Waterloo, Calcutta, and Powerful, and from the range of small guns at the Garrison, Camber, and Pier head. The scene was most animating, and heightened by the extreme beauty of the day ; the steam-boats from Chatham were literally crowded to suffocation, and the town and harbour vied with eadi other to testify their loyalty on such a memorable occasion. CHATHAM, THURSDAY. The coronation day of her Majesty was celebrated in this garrison, as well as throughout the town, with great effect. In addition to the Royal salute, which was fired at twelve o'clock by a detachment of Royal Marines from the Spur battery, the Royal standards floated from their flag-staffs at the forts, also at the Military Prison, Fort Clarence, dockyard, and other establishments. The Wellesley, 72, the depot ordinaryguard-ship, was dressed out with the colours of all nations, except Russia ; also the Poictiers, 74, and other ships in harbour, as well as the private vessels at anchor, were gaily dressed, which gave to the River Medway an animated and pleasing appearance • and as the day uas a general holiday for all the workmen employed in the dockyard and other government establishments, the town was very gay, and at twelve o'clock the greatest portion of the shops were closed, in order that the shopmen and others might par ticipate in the general rejoicing. The excursion train from Strood to Brighton took above 100 persons ; it was a cheap trip at ss. per head there and back, which gave an opportunity to many of seeing Brighton, at which place they will have seven hours to enjoy themselves. The Crimean invalids who are convalescent and at the Casemates did honour to the Queen by drinking to her Majesty's health and prosperity to her arms at the seat of war. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY. The usual demonstrations at this port and garrison of loyal attachment to the Throne were evinced to-day by the early ringing of bells, the entire suspension of busi ness, and of holiday folks appearing in their best cos tume. Excursion trains were put on for the occasion, and the directors of the several steam companies afforded the means of very many thousands from London visiting the garden of England. The steamers were crowded to excess, and the extreme fineness of the weather attracted thousands. The ships of war at Spithead and in the harbour dressed gaily in bunting at eight in the morning, and at twelve a Royal salute was fired from the shore battery and taken up by the men of war. The merchant trans port steamers also did honour to the occasion by dress ing the rigging, particularly the Arabia and Cambria, with masthead flags of our gallant allies the French and Turks. Standards and ensigns floated from the garrison batteries, as well as from the dockyard, gun wharf, Royal Clarence yards, forts, Cumberland, Blockhouse, Monckton, and Southsea Castle, and from the tops of houses of the principal merchants and tradesmen of the borough, many of whom illuminated with pleasing de vices of gas and coloured lamps. The Royal Clarence gardens were crowded, and the spirited proprietor, Mr. Bennett, was well rewarded for his having, at a vast ex pense, catered so handsomely towards the amusements of the public. The fireworks were of first-rate charac ter and wound up the honours of the day. Mn. CURRAN'S " SKETCHES OF THE IRISH BAR" have very properly succeeded those of Mr. Sheil. Mr. Cur ran has prefaced them with a memoir of his friend, Chief Baron Woulfe, written is a spirit of warm friendship, and a journal of conversations with the late Chief Jus tice Bushe—specimens of the talk of a lawyer who was one of the most effective conversers of his time, and peculiarly interesting from the bright glimpses they give of Bushe's most famous friends. "Altogether, these papers will be welcomed anew for their animated style, their graphic and sometimes romantic narratives, for the pictures they give of many famous men now passed away, and for the conscientious accuracy and perfect good taste which has governed the writing of them."— Examiner. STAR CLUIL—The members of this club entertained the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, the Sheriffs for London and Middlesex, with their ladies, and a distinguished party at the Star and Garter, Richmond, on Wednesday. There were present the Right Hon. Sir Francis Graham Moon, Bart., and the Lady Mayoress, Sir C. D. Crosley and Lady Crosley, Sir H. Muggeridge and Lady Muggeridge, Mr. Wick. ham, M.P., Colonel Starr, Dr. Dimond, Mr. Justice Macdougall, Sir T. H. Roberts, Bart., Major Reed, Mr. Lee, M.P., Mr. Jackson, M.P., Mr. Brown, M.P., Mr. Pilkington, M.P., Mr. Oliveira, M.P., Mr. Sullivan, M.P., Captain Jay, Mr. J. J. Forrester, Mr. Charles White, Mr. R. N. Philipps, Mr. Hugh J. Cameron, and a considerable number of ladies and gen. Cann. Now, this being the true character of this bill, the principle being to secure a holiday on the Sa n , day to the greatest possible number consistent with the interests of the community at large, am I really to take the meeting in Hyde Park, gathered" together by the placard I have described, as the opinion of those assembled in regard to it ? It is manifestly impossible. My belief is, that a soreness has arisen in consequence of the Beer Bill of last session, which has been visited in this manner upon the Sunday Trading Bill. - I am told that I ought to shut up the clubs ; but, if my bill in no way interferes with any of the houses where the poorer classes resort for food and relreehment, what justice would there be in that ? I am told that rdught to pre vent the wealthy from riding or driving on a Sunday ; but, if my bill in no way interferes with any public con veyance, be it halfpenny, pen ny,. or sixpenny,iwhat justice would there be in that ? And, ars to this being an aris tocratic measure, I can most solemnly declare that I was induced to undertake it solely at the request of trades people, and that it is only with them that I am now in communication with regard to it. Ido not know whe ther the speech of Mr. Villiers, Made' , last night in the House of Commons on the Beer Bill, has been accurately reported ; but, if it has been, I ‘beg those who cry out against that measure, as an attempt.= the part of the aristocracy to coerce and oppress the poor, to peruse it, and they will then see how that measure ,was absolutely forced upon the House of Commons- by, the .working classes themselves. With regard to that bill, a com mittee has been now appointed to inquire into its work ing, and I hope the result of their labour's will be to place the sale of intoxicating liqubrs upon a more satis factory footing. The difficulty which I experience is to ascertain the real opinion of those by whose opinion I desire to be guided upon this question, natnely,,those who aro principally affected by it. The letters which I receive would induce me to ,believe that, of the clu:. tourers, the more educated portion strongly approve it ; the shopkeepers seem to be divided. ' If I turn to' the petitions, I find 70,000 petitioners in favour, of whim% 40,000 are stated to be directly concerned in Sunday trading, and 27,000 against it. If I look again to the House of Commoas, I observe that only two of the metropolitan members have opposed the bill, one of whom has candidly declared that his constituents are divided in respect to it. If I look to the New Euglatld States of North America, to give me an indication of what might be expected under universal suffrage, I there find laws against Sunday trading so stringent that no one here would dare to propose them ; , and whQn I see such extravagant misrepresentation had recourse to in order to excite the people against it, I can only conclude - that it is the result of some sinister motive, the purpose of which would not be answered if the truth were spoken . in regard to it. As to the threat of personal injury, I can assure you, sir, I have no ambition whatsoever fo r the honours f martyrdom ; . and, although I trust I shall be enabled not to shrink from doing My duty, in -- ir - diffieliltfiq 'Eaittest deiire is - •earri — the right of living peaceably with my neighours by followiAg the rule of doing to others as I would be ' done by.-Bat, in troth, I am in no apprehension of such a catastrophe. I ant in conetant communication with all classes of my constituents, among whom I have lived for many years, and scarcely a weak passes during the ses sion that I do not attend some :public meeting in some Part of the metropolis. Most of them know something of my public life ; some know something of my private life; and, however grossly the bill o.f which I have now charge may be misrepresented, I do not believe one of them would lift up his hand against remain, sir, your obedient servant, • Park-street, June 28. R GRosvErron. CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY. Both houses of Convocation assembled yesterday morning for the despatch of business. UPPER HOUSE. The Archbishop of Canterbury took the chair. The Bishop of LONDON read a report recommending an Address to her Majesty, praying her to sanction the sitting of Convocation as an "acting" body, and to re. move those restrictions which made it now a merely de liberative institution. The Bishop of LONDON moved, and the Bishop of OXFORD seconded, the adoption of the report. The Bishop of St. AsArtr objected, on the ground that public feeling, as well as the feeling of the Church, was against a revival of the acting powers of convocation. The Archbishop of CANTERVuRT said the report now presented was in direct opposition to that agreed upon last July. The Bishop of OXFORD admitted that that was the case, but said that the circumstances which had since transpired warranted the change. Last July the Soli citor-General was of opinion that Convocation would have to go to Parliament for such powers as it sought ; but lie had now altered his opinions, and, in conjunc tion with Dr. R. Phillimore, had stated that the sauce tion of her Majesty was quite sufficient for the purpose. If Convocation sent up an address for licence to act, and it was refused, it would be an unconstitutional course, and entirely without precedent. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY expressed his decided opposition to the motion, as dangerous to the Church and the country. He understood that the question was not to be revived, and he was sorry the topic had been introduced. _ _ The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and carried. Their lordships then agreed to the following address to the Queen : " We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, the archbishop, bishops, and clergy of the province of Canterbury, as sembled in Convocation, humbly represent to yoar Ma jesty that committees of Convocation have sat, and after careful consideration have reported to Convocation on various subjects deeply concerning the spiritual welfare of this realm, viz.—on the measures needful for enforcing dis cipline amongst the clergy, the extension of the Church, the modification of her services, and the reform of the repre sentation of the clergy in the provincial synod of Canterbury. We are convinced that the full; consideration of these sub jects is of great moment to the well-being of our Church. But in order that our deliberations on these, or such other mat ters as your Majesty shall see fit to sabmit for our con sideration, may be so conducted as to give to the Chu rc h . the fullest satisfaction that in them the mind of the clergy will be fairly expressed, we humbly submit to yo ur Majesty that the representation of the clergy in the Lower House of Convocation ought to be amended. On consult. ing very high legal authorities, WO are informed that such an amendment may lawfully be carried into effect if your Majesty shall be pleased to grant us your Royal licence, to consider, with a view to agreeing on any such amend ments, and shall afterwards approve of the same, when submitted to your Royal consideration. "We venture, therefore, humbly to pray your Majesty to grant us your Royal licence to consider of a constitution hereupon ; and in order that these deliberations may in clude the clergy of the northern province, we further pray your Majesty to grant a similar licence to the Convocation of the Province of York, and to sanction our communi cating with that body, with a view to uniting, under your Majesty's approval, our deliberations hereon." The Prolocutor was then summoned, and the address referred to bim for the consideration of the Lower House. Their lordships then adjourned until to-day. LOWER HOUSE. After prayers the Dean of Ely, the prolocutor, pro ceeded to the nomination of his assessors, which, after some considerable time, he named as follows : —The Deans of Norwich and Worcester, the Archdea cons of Nottingham an d S t.
