TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1842. _Mr. CHARLES BELLER, in an able speech, last night ealled the attention of the House of Commons to the late proclamation concerning the gold coinage. The Hon. Member brought a considerable quantity of research to bear upon the question, and showed that On former occasions the whole nation had borne the loss of the depreciation of the coinage, not the unfortunate individuals who happened, by no fault of their own, to hold the light coin on the 3d of June. We believe, that there is not a man in the kingdom w h o does not agree with Nix. BuLLEn, and who does not reprobate the unthinking, reckless proceeding of Mr. Goet,nußN. Without a single day's . warning, that gentleman, by one stroke of his pen, and by one setting of the Printer's types, depreciated the gold cur rency of the country, and impeded its free circulation. embarrassed the w hole community•. What excuse slid the Eight lion. Gentleman make for this con duct? Here is what he said • The law laid at down as a principle that the gold coins of these realms, when it was under a certain weight, was no longer a legal tender ftar any payment. No person was compelled to take - it, and if any party took it he • could not compel others to receive it from - him in return. It followed therefore, clearly as he thought, that when a considerable portion of the gold coin of the country was deficient in weight. that was it subject which would neces sarily attract the attention of the Government. It would be extremely prejudicial to any class that a great pro portion of the current coin should be so deteriorated that could nut be offered as a legal tender in any payments. But Mr. Cant Lin UN 'might have waited till the people complained of the coin—till they refused it in pay . 'pent ; atx , l then he might, if .he could have found no . better means, have 'conic for Ward with his proclama tion. The people, however, never complained of the. co i n . There were some stories in circulation- about it t being plnggectand clipped, but the public was per fectly satisfied with it, and there is not the smallest justification for M r. GOITIMURN'S unreflecting conduct. We are afraid, ~!vere the subject inquired into, that Tr. GOILLBVWS w ould be" found to- havebeen the' of ngland. raise cat's-paw of-the avaric e of the s an k That corporation is re - issu in g light t•lere E itSta that corporation will get more notes into circulation by the depreciation of the coin ; and as that corporation seems the party most likely to profit by Mr. GOUL BURN'S conduct, we can only suppose that he has acted so improperly from the sinister influence of the Bank parlour. We must refer to Mr. BULLER'S able speech for a full exposure of the evils of the measure, by which that gentleman properly said the Ministers had done more harm in a fortnight than their tariff would make up in the course of a year. Mr. BARING, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. HumE justified the conduct of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, but their observa tions do not alter our opinion that the infliction of so much evil on the working classes was wholly un called for. The Government is the authority responsible for the currency; the people are not respon sible. The Ministers, therefore, ought to have acted very differently. Instead of making the public boards and offices refuse light coin, they ought to have enjoined them to receive it in all payments, and to receive it at all times, unless it was very bad, and there was a good ground of sus picion that the person tendering it was fraudulently cognizant of its deficiency. They ought to have asked the Bank of England to do the same, and they ought to have enjoined that body to stop all the light coin it received it the course of its own business, and which was paid in by public offices, and send all that light coin to the Mint, the Government making good the loss. So they would gradually, and at all times, withdraw all light coin from circulation, and keep it out of circu lation, never causing the public - any trouble. The currency would no more be liable, under such a plan of renewal, to be sweated, than under the pre sent plan. The cost of renewal, too, would always be paid by the public, and would never fall on indi viduals. As to the detection and punishment of clip pers and sweaters, they must be provided for by dif ferent laws and different methods. To-night Mr. WARD brings forward his resolution " That in all future elections for Members of Parlia ment, the votes be taken by Ballot." Notwithstand ing the astounding acts of corruption, and some of intimidation, which the late election brought to light, we cannot compliment Mr. WARD by saying that his motion is well timed, or that it is precisely what is now needed. As a step towards constitutional im provement, we might regard it with satisfaction ; but we doubt whether it ought to precede the extension of the suffrage. The bribery, and corruption, and inti midation now so rife, are only the symptoms of a great disease, the cure of which cannot be effected by the Ballot. It will apply only to the existing consti tuency; the great complaint out of doors is, that the existing constituency is a legal usurpation, and apply ing to it the Ballot may only conceal its deformities, without curing them. However useful the Ballot may be to prevent inti midation, to those who are willing to be bribed it will supply a place in which they may safely com plete their guilt. The late disclosures concerning Bridport, Belfast, Ipswich, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Nottingham, &c. &c., all show a great number of electors willing to be bribed. There were more such cases at the late general election than cases of intimi dation. As long, therefore, as the present small boroughs are preserved, in which the vote has a con siderable market value and the voter is needy, as long as he regards—to use the language of Mr. M. M ILNES— the candidate, who gives him a few pounds, as his best friend, the Ballot, we are afraid, will only be a screen for bribery. It will enable every needy voter to sell his vote at the highest price, unchecked by fear or shame. It may prevent intimidation, but that is now, possibly, a less evil than the bribery it will en courage. At any rate, the Ballot is not demanded by the bulk of the unenfranchised ; and, should it be carried, will be of no avail in healing our present dissensions. It certainly is not the thing which is now wanted ; and, as Mr. WARD knows, we believe, that he cannot carry his resolution, he might as well leave the mat ter untried. It rather appears to us as one of those much derided make-believes, or routine shams, in the present state of parties, than as a real measure, which he who brings it forward expects will succeed. It is a parade motion, made now because it has a kind of party purpose in it, and was made be fore when intimidation was more dreaded than bribery, and when confidence was placed in the present constituency, of which experience has now demonstrated it is quite unworthy. It was originated long before the existence of the present dissatisfaction of the unrepresented, which will make them regard the Ballot as conferring an additional privilege on the elector, degrading them still more, by totally excluding them from any possible means of influencing the elections. The Government, we have reason to believe, has de cided upon the removal of Lord DE GREY from the Lord Lieutenantship of Ireland, and the will of the Cabinet to this effect has already been communicated to his Lordship. To cover the recal of the Noble Earl from an office to fill which no British-born Peer could be more incompe tent, it has been suggested that he shall plead severe ill ness, and implore her MAJESTY to relieve him from the cares of a state trying even to the soundest constitutions. This boon will be granted with the best grace in the world ; his Lordship's illness will be royally deplored ; and exceeding regret Will be expressed that the Govern ment should be deprived of the invaluable services ofo prudent and sagacious an Irish Chief Magistrate. The farce, however, will deceive no person. Lord DE GREY, is to be removed from the government of Ireland, because he leagued himself with the Orange faction, and re solved to govern Ireland upon Orange principles.. The Lord Chancellor, Sir EDWARD SUGGEN, and the Irish Secretary, Lord ELIOT, had' the good sense to oppose this retrograde policy. They saw very well that the Orange system of Government could never again be revived in Ireland, without perilling the horrors of a civil war, and their acts, since their accession to office, have consisted chiefly of a series of protests against the measures proposed by the Lord Lieute-. nant. Sir R. Pert., who has business enough on his hands without.a rebellion in Ireland, has agreed to the recal of the Noble Earl, whose retirement may now be daily expected. In fact, the Ministry have decided that Ultra-Tory principles must be abandoned by the Irish Government. It is no longer doubtful that five-sixths of the Irish people are decidedly Liberal, and that their opinions can no longer be influenced by the politics of Dublin Castle. They are therefore to have an adminis tration more in harmony with their wants and wishes, in order to weaken as much as possible the influence of Mr. O'CoNNELL and. the Repeal agitation. Ireland will not be governed upon avowedly Whig principles, but in reality no other principles will meet with the approbation of Sir R. PEEL. Of one thing we are certain, and that is, that after the removal of Lord Du GREY, Irelend 'will enjoy a more liberal Government than she did under the Whig administration Of Earl GREY, when she had 1 an ANGLESEA for Lord Lieutenant. We have heard it confidently stated, that Lord DE Gallic will be succeeded in the Government of Ireland by the Duke . of BUCCLEUCH. Without looking beyond the ranks of his party, w© "do not think Sir ROBERT could choose a better man. The Duke, as a Scotehman, would have to encounter some prejudices in the capacity of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but these would disappear the instant PADDY found that the Duke was rich, libe ral, and resolved to see justice done to Catholic and Protestant equally. It is to prevent any misconception of the character of the Duke . of BUCCLEUCB. on the part of the Irish Press, that we take upon us to assure them that we know no reputed Tory who would more liberally and impartially administer the Govern ment of Ireland than the Nobleman in question. He has no sympathies with the Orange faction, and is capable of respecting the mistaken prejudices of a people, who maintained with so much obstinacy, under such long and severe trials, the faith and the customs of their fathers. We congratulate Sir It. PEEL upon the. moderation of the policy which he has resolved, to adopt towards Ire land. It is the wisest, safest, and best course that he could pursue. By no other could the union of the two countries be now maintained. Nor will it prove less important in another point of view. Sir lionEuT I'EEL is fast breaking the neck of Toryism in Eng land, whereas in Ireland he must soon extinguish it altogether. Let him only take it few steps more in the path which he is now following, and we see nothing to prevent a coalition of parties, in which v o, e f n fir. n e, o t w he h N i v s hi s g ta s n . ch i‘ e i s r t .

It is gratifying to witness the healthy tone which per. lades the speiio' hes of limbers of Parliament on canto THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING-, JUNE 21, 1842 hands of the Judges of the land, where it ought to be placed, which the House of Commons directly and pertinaciously refuses. It is a secret retreat of the Hon. House from an untenable position. A SHARK SWALLOWING A NEW SPAPER. —A Scotch Journal says:—" - On Thursday morning, while some of the fishermen engaged in - the halibut fishing, a the Isle of May, were drawing their nets, they discovered in one of them a young shark, measuring about five feet and a half in length, which they succeeded in capturing and bringing on shore. In the evening the animal was opened, and the amazement cf those present, there were found in its stomach a tin canister, containing thirty-four coins, a number of the Edinburgh Evening Courant, dated 1811, and another of the London Courier of the same date ! "—Newspapers certainly make their way into strange nooks and corners, but this is the first time we ever heard of their being domiciliated in the epigastrium of a shark. The animal, however, seems to have been utterly unable to digest the two Journals in question—a convincing proof that their leading articles must have contained an unusual quantity of mixed lead and brass ! As all sharks are Tories, we are not so much surprised at our Isle of May friend's swallowing the Courier, as at r_is being too delicate to digest its po litics. • quettions, which, but a few years ago, they were almost afraid to mention, and never had the courage to oppose openly. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, when Mr. PAKINGTON, brought forward his absurd clause to extend the blessings of the Metropolitan Police to the country, could see no harm in a poor man enjoying his " cakes and ale" on a Sunday as well as a Saturday; and Mr. MACAULAY, the representative of Edinburgh, so famed for the strict observance of the Sabbath, absolutely turned the motion of Mr. PLUMPTRE on Saturday, into ridicule. The motion was to stop all Sunday travelling, except in cases of charity and necessity—points, no doubt, very difficult to decide, and the responsibility of which it would be very unfair to throw upon the Directors of railways. What one man might consider a work of neces sity, another might regard as a gross de secration of the Sabbath. An affectionate father, for instance, would think it a work of necessity and mercy to pursue a runaway daughter to Gretna Green, while an old maid would denounce this paternal conduct as a great sin. A banker, who,was afraid of a run upon him some fine Monday morning, would consider it a work of absolute necessity to carry at the utmost railroad speed his bag of gold, even during the hours of Divine service, while Sir ANDREW AGNEW would say, " Perish the bank, but let the sacred day be kept holy." The motion certainly was extremely absurd, and all the ra tional people of Scotland will be delighted to learn that one of their Members had the manliness to denounce it in these words :—" If there is any proposition made to restrain further Sunday travelling, I shall oppose it to the utmost, and I now object to the adoption of the clause, because the House would be placed in a most ludicrous situation, by adopting so extravagant and monstrous a proposition." This-sentence was loudly cheered from all parts of the House, and we therefore conclude that while the present Parliament lasts we shall be saved the trouble of animadverting on the presumption of those Sabbatarians who would regulate the con duct of every man according to their own bigoted and superstitious principles. It will be seen from the list of the division that Mr. PLUMPTRE and Mr. HARDY, the tellers,. had only eight Members to support them ; and, to the credit of the Liberal party, they were, with one exception, Tories. These, of course, are the only " ten righteous men" in the House. The division in the House of Commons, on the second reading of the Poor-law Bill, is another flagrant proof of the cool assurance with which many of the Tory Mem bers violate the pledges they made to their constituents on the hustings. Such pledges they seem to look on quite as matters of course—in fact, as pie -crusts, made only to be broken. A Tory on the hustings differs as much from the same Tory in Parliament, as white differs from black, or light from shade. He is all for the people in the one case ; he is all for his party in the other. On the hustings his political conscience is stern and unyielding in an eminent degree ; in the se nate, it is so pliant and accommodating that, like Indian rubber, it will stretch to any extent. Few but must remember the highly virtuous and indignant manner in which, at the last election, many of the Tories spoke against the New Poor-law. It was a nuisance, they said, a crying injustice a flagrant enormity—that could not be too soon done away with. Let them but once get into Parliament, and then their constituents should see how active, and zea lous, and uncompromising they would be on the subject ! They would pretty quickly make all the supporters of the heinous measure shake in their shoes ! As for being influenced by party motives on such a momentous inat ter:—perish the base idea ! they were influenced but by one feeling, and that was, a determination to do their duty to their respectable and enlightened constituents, by in- sisting to the utmost of their power on the immediate repeal of the tyrannical act in question ! Fine words, and how have they been followed up? In the division of Friday night but sixty Members voted against the second reading of the Poor-law measure, and of these sixty more than one-half were Liberals ; so that actually not thirty Tories, out of a. body of at least four hundred, redeemed the pledges they had so eagerly volunteered on the hustings ! And these are the men who pique themselves on their honesty, manliness, consistency, and so forth, and taunt the Whigs with their glaring defici encies in these. respects ! One among them—Mr. STUART WORTLEY—dwelt with special emphasis on his own un deviating steadiness of purpose ; but was, nevertheless, sorely put to it to reconcile his hustings pledges with his Parliamentary performances. At his election his intrepid and disintereted patriot. 4 m induced him to in veigh most vehemently against the new Poor-law ; but on Friday night this same patriotism had somehow or oth, r played truant ; in fact, it was "non tst inventus," and in its absence, the Hon. Member was found voting for the second reading of the Bill. To be sure, he seemed per fectly aware that he was in—what JONATHAN would call—" a fix ;" and twisted, and twirled, and wriggle d, like an eel in a cook-maid's fist, and made all sorts of wry laces, at the idea of supporting a measure which he had formerly denounced ; still, he did sup port it, observing, however, by way of apology for his tortuous conduct, that he " o.Aly voted for the second reading in an abstract sense ?" What the Hon. Member means by the " abstract sense" of a po:,i tive, matter-of-fact, business-like vote, it is impossible for us to conjecture. With just as much propriety might he talk of being cashiered at the next election in an " abstract sense ;" or of paying his first half-year's Inceine-tai in an "an abstract sense 1" Possibly, how ever, he intended only to Mystify the House ; and if so, he has succeeded most effectually ; for his " ab stract sense"—like the late Lord CASTLEREAGH'S me taphors—is the very perfection of no-meaning. By the bye, we perceive that he has given notice of two motions on the subject of the New Poor-law measure, evidently with a view to maintain his character for con sistency, pacify his constituents, and reconeile them to his vote. This is but clumsy generalship, for every one knows that his motions will never be carried ; that, in fact, they are nothing more than a tub thrown out to the whale ;—mere feints, to induce the Hon. Member's Yorkshire friends to give him credit for being just as strongly opposed to the Poor-law, as he professed him self to be on the hustings. The French Journals are destitute of political news of any interest. They state the KING 13 in excellent health, and, to prove it, his MAJESTY takes more than his usual share of exercise. We have received the following letter : ".ALGIERS, June 10.—The Lieutenant- General •Govern , r is at this moment at Blidah, with General Changarnier ; they came from Mostaganem-17,000 men are assembled at that point. A great convoy is preparing, which will set out to morrow for Blidah, with provisions for the army. Sixty-four prisoners, taken from the Monaaia and the Beni-Sala, who had just made their submission, and are, with other Arab prisoners, in the Manion Carree, will leave to morrow with the great convoy to return to their families. The hay harvest is getting on with all haste, and hitherto oar mowers have not been molested by the Arabs." Several journals, doubtless on the authority of some English papers, have pretended that M. de Barante is to have the post of Ambassador at London, in the room of Count St. Aulaire. We are assured that M. de Barante's visit to Englard has no diplo matic character and that there is no notion of giving a suc cessor to an Ambassador to Queen Victoria. Count St. Au laire is expected shortly at Paris on leave of absence.— Consti tutionnel. - A letter from Beyrout says :—" The French ship. of-the line Sauti Petri cast anchor before our town on the 12th May. The appearance of this fine vessel, sent to re-victual the ships in these seas, produced an excellent effect, for the Turkish au thorities immediately hastened to terminate, completely to the satisfaction of our Consul, various matters connected with our national interest, which had been long kept in suspense."— ' Commerce. The Count De Douhoff, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Prussia to the Court of Bavaria, has been recalled from that post, and appointed Minister to the Ger manic Diet. The King of Sweden has addressed the following letter, dated June 2, to the Senate of Hamburgh, in reply to one from that body relative to the late calamity :—" Very . dear and excellent friends, I have received, through my Ambassador at your good town, the letter which you cent me on May 24. The sentiments which you express towards me cannot be otherwise than precious to me, as well as the just sense which you entertain of those which, on my side, I have always preserved towards you. You have been Informed of the grief which I felt at learning the calamity which has fallen on your good town, and I add to it the expression of esteem with Which . your resignation under the calamity, and your promptitude in taking measures to diminish its dreadful effect, have Inspired me. I sincerely trust that Providence will bless your patriotic efforts. On which, I pray God. t o k ee p y ou i n his good and holy keeping." OXENSTIERN'S WISDOM.— A Contemporary remarked yesterday, apropos of Mr. Goulburn's bungling pro clamation about the coinage, that " Chancellor Oxen stiern's remark on the little wisdom with which the World is governed, will never be obsolete." That there will always be bungling Goulburns meddling with and marring affairs is too probable, but had the celebrated Chancellor lived till our day, he would npt have adopted the conclusion that such bunglers govern the world. The Chancellor himself, in his remark, is a conclusive proof of the little knowledge, and less wisdom, pos.: sessed by his class ; for he really seems to have stir posed that the meddling Goulburns of all ages h ave governed a world which has always run away f rom them.. In fact, statesmen, whether they be called GoUl - burn or Wellington, do not govern the world ; they do not even govern society ; and the Chancellor's remark is only strictly true as signifying bow very little wisdom indeed is to be found amongst that class, all of whom, like the bungling Mr. Goulburn, continually pretend to govern the world, and merely produce, in all cases, as be has done in the case of light sovereigns, continual confusion and disorder. Lord John Russell's Bill for the better discovery of bribery, after providing for the fermation o f a Commis sion, to inquire into extensive bribery, on an address from • the House of Commons, authorises the Commission to apply for and require the assistance of the Judges. We venture to assert, should this Bill become a la*, that the Commission would rarely or never sit without the presence of a Judge, and that in fact the Judge would be the • Commission. This provision, therefore, goes to place hachrectly that poweL..: .4 deciding Nola cases ill the having once decided on a course of conduct, is likely enough to have his own way. He knows his business well—he knows his duties, and he is perfectly cognizant of his powers. These he uttll net delegate. And it is in vain—it is perfectly idle for the faction to threaten or abuse him," The Cambrian thus speaks or the Government proclamation respecting light coinage As far as the (internment are concerned, we cannot give them credit for the manner in which they have arranged this important decision. The proclama tion was issued without any previous concert with the Bank of England, and the Mint, on being applied to, knew nothing about the matter. The latter gentlemen have, on all occa sions, proved themselves as little aware of the influence of their coin upon the financial state of commerce, as the machines by which it is manufactured, and therefore their reply excited no surprise. But the Government ought at least to have been better informed, and to have ascertained their capability of re placing the light coin by that of standard weight." The Liverpool Journal, in an article on light coinage, says " Without being of those who would, from party motives, impute blame to any Ministry for the honest discharge of a great public duty, we cannot but coincide with those who think that the present reform of the currency is set about in the worst possible way, tamely, in that which distributes the loss with the maximum ot injustice, and put the sufferers to the greatest possible inconvenience." We take the following from the Scotsman: —" When we look at the evil occasioned to justice by the system of exclusion, and the fact that the Legislature, conscious of the mischief, has been for several years past abolishing one after another of the exclusionary rules, it is a somewhat startling and alarming incident to find a Judge creating a new exclusionary rule, without a moment's reflection, without any consultation with others, without any debate before him—nay, without even hearing the counsel who suggested the exclusion pleading in favour et it. When the Lord Justice-Clerk decided that in fidelity disqualified a witness, he did this." The Somerset Gazette says :—" A considerab:e portion of the present Session has been occupied by the Parliament in dis gracing and discrediting itself—proving itself utterly disqualified from legislating for the country, inasmuch as it does not repre sent the country, but only the breeches-pocket of a few wealthy men, to whom alone it owes it existence. Many Parliaments are known in history by names derived from some prominent feature in their character. We have the Long Parliament, and the Barebones Parliament, and the Reform-Bill Parliament. The rreEent Parliament will be known in history as the Bribery Parliament." MONEY--TMADE—COMMERCE. The first whale-ship of this sea.on's Greenland fishery, is now on her way to Hamburgh, with a full cargo. It is feared that owing to the operation of the tariff, which imposes a duty of 6d. a pound on all foreign confectionaries, that this trade will be entirely at an end in Guernsey. The factories at present working there are expending in wages, freight, rent, &c., about 30,000/. per annum. At Blackburn and Manchester, depression and distress in grease, but at Rochdale ant Bradford trade has been brisker. At Halifax, Huddersfield, and Leeds, business has been dull, and in the latter town has rather fallen off. AND MILITARY.

'1 he Court rose at five o'clock. The Hon. W. Bathurst was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. MR. WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENT of SCOTTISII SONG and MUSIC. Fain to catch the last warbles of Scottish minstrelsy, before it finally fades, in the person of Mr. Wilson, from our metro polis, we attended his last lecture but one, delivered last night at the Music Hall, Store-street, prior to his quitting London for the North. Notwithstanding the semi-score of lectures, with their multiplied songs, which we have heard, last night brought fresh chants to our ear, with their accompanying plea•antness of new sounds. " Gloomy winter's now awe.," composed by Tannehill, a Paisley weaver; formed a charming love-canticle, expressive of the blossomy burst of summer, and the likeness of one beloved to its blooms and beauties, as perceived by the youth enamoured. Tannahill, whom the Ettrick Shepherd made a journey of a hundred miles on foot to see, and who subsequently wrote " Jessie, the Flower o Dumblane," which was once sang at every highway, home stead. and hearth, drowned himself, we understand, tram the disappointment of neglected genius. Truly beautiful was " Flora Macdonald's Lament."—the sighing's of a fair haired beauty, who, as she beholds the vessel of the forlorn Stuart fading in the blue distance, breaks into a ene of sorrow, pitiable and full of sobbing& Another Jaco• bite song, but of a manly clansman-like class, in which fervent emphasis is laid upon t e words " Charlie, Charlie,' regretting in a similar manner " the Stuart," made it api , ear as if tie! heart-chords of his stout liegemen were flung around heir Prince unbreakably. Neil Gow. with whom the next song, " The Lass o' Cowrie," was a great favourite, was so noted for touches on the violin, in accompanying it, and so (left his instrumentation, that his how could be distinguished among a hundred. This, doubtless, is a dainty morsel in itself : the lass is' wooed by her lover's asst• milating her to a rose—one dewy in the diamond morning ; blu•hes suffuse their vermillion over her cheeks : the low maiden-whisper breathes her fondness, and bravely she be comes, a short time after, the bonny " Lady Cowrie. "Muir land Willie" went off as trippingly as a marriage-tell ; in south, its burden is the bridal of a daughter, and the festal doings of the blue-clad guests are glibly reci'ed ; wooing, winning, and welding, ere one and ad accomplished in a trice, with the spirit of a lochinvar capture. Alternating from gay to grave, the " Land of the Leal " fell on the ear with elegiac sadness. Mr. Wilson had fuller and fashionable rooms last night than ever ; how he will make a decorous withdrawal from so many who still so continuously and delightedly attend him, we do not know : next Monday, however, if destined to be the last, w ill' no doubt, from the songs selected, be a rich and parting luxury. WOO L WIC I.I.—SAT UR DAY. ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY. The half-yearly examination of the Gentlemen-Cadets study ing at this institution took place on Saturday. At ten o'clock a.m., Lord 131oomfield and Sir E. Stamina arrived on the pa rade ground in front of the Royal Military Academy, where the Gentlemen-Cadets were drawn up in line under the command of Captain Burnaby. The Lieutenant-General proceeded along the line, and minutely examined their appearance under arms, and appeared more than ordinarily gratified with their soldier like bearing in every respect. 'the Gentlemen-Cadets after wards marched past at slew and quick time, and went through the whole of the evolutions of infantry soldiers with a preci sion equal to the most experienced veterans ; and at the con clusion of their exercises Lord Bloomfield expressed to Cap tain Burnaby his high approbation of the superior manner io which the Gentlemen-Cadets had acquitted themselves, so greatly to their own credit , and to the credit of those under whose charge they had been placed. The Gentlemen-Cadets after laying n side their arms entered the examination-room, where a Board of Officers, amongst whom were the follewing, were assembled : Celonel Cockburn, Colonel Paterson, Colonel Lacy, Lieute. nant-Colonel Dundas, and 13rigadier•Major Cuppage, of the Royal Artillery ; Colonel Sir G C. Hoste and Brigadier-Ma jor Sandham, of the Royal Entsineers. The examination continued from half-past ten in the morn ing until six o'clock in the evening, with only a short interval, and was -gone through by the Gentlemen-Cadets to the entire approbation of the Board. The following is a list of the names of the Gentlemen-Cadets who have completed their studies, and have been reported to the Master General as entitled to commissions : —Charles Binnev, John Desborough, John L. Elgee, Edmund Flint, Francis Fowke, Charles S. Henry, Charles W. Hope, Frede rick W. King, Augustus F. Lennox, Charles Lucas, Robert B. M.Crea, Edward G. Paterson, Philip G. Ripon, Disney Russell, George Shaw, John D. Shakespear, Edward A Swin ton. and R. Wm. Taylor. The above formed the first or practical class studying at the Royal Arsenal, and sixteen were advanced to the first class, and will occupy the apartments in the Arsenal after the vacation. Twenty-four candidates came fore and at the recent examination, and fourteen passed, and will enter the institution on its being re-opened. ROYAL. POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—MODELS OF FORTIFICATIONS. - Captain Jekv . ll, late of the Grenadier Guards, has sent to the rtoyal Polytechnic Institution eight models of fortifications most elaborately finisht d to scale, con• sisting of those laid down on the systems of Carnot, Chou mara, Vauban, Bordwine, &c. ; also models of a Fieldwork, a Sand Bag, and a Fascine Gun and a Moltar 13attery. He has also sent models of Carronades, Congreve, and Miller's guns, and every other large gun in the service. These placed in juxta-position carrot he found other than most interesting to all who study the military art, from the o pportunities offered fur comparison, as the miniatures thus sup; bed represent ori ginals in a manner which the most perfect drawings could not accomplish. Nothing of the kind has, we believe, till now been produced in this country. The models are ventually des tined for the United Service 11Itr•eum.— Couit Gazette.

The o?era.tion alluded to this morning is now generally considered to have been on account of the Savings' Banks. If such be the case, coupled as it must be with those of the last • week by the same parties, it would appear to argue a great pres• sure from the smaller depositors, which is not to be wondered at, when the extreme depression in trade be considered. The sale in question caused a considerable demand for money, the rate for which was not materially advanced, although the de mand for it was great.

Stock is the only one of this des cription quoted, and has risen to 23i 24, on a report that the money necessary for the dividend has been actually raised. Accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 23d April have been received. The colonists of this place, finding that, under the old system, their presperity was declining, turned to wards the Government for it to find a remedy for this falling off; but, upon a t efusal to make advances to try experiments, have at length learned to rely on their own resources, and it now appears that individual enterprise is doing much to im prove the condition of the place. The real value of land in the neighbourhood of the Cape seems now to be understood, and exertions are being made to render it available. Ihe want of labourers is stated to be a primary obstacle to effect this, but means were being adopted to overcome it as much as possible, and subscriptions had been raised to procure a share of libe rated Africans. This had been done for the general benefit of the colony, and not for particular individuals. The " Child ren's Friend Society," which existed here and wasdissolved sonic time since, has always been held at th e C ape to h ave been greatly misrepresented, and in these papers the names of several children who had been apprenticed under its auspices are given, together with the sums 'which had accumulated in the Savings' Banks from their earnings, and which varied from 101. to 23/. The labouring class of English immigrants is highly spoken of, and those landed at Algoa Bay in 1t3:30, are considered to have been of far more benefit to the colony than alt the Africans which had ever arrived Acting upon this impresdon, communications had been entered into between the landed proprietors and the Executive, to procure for the Cape a share or immigrants, should any general measure of the kind be intended. To rendn' the land more valuable, roads were in progress of being made across the downs and flats, for the pu pose of in creasing the facilities of sheep pasturage, it being considered that the growth of wool has now become of paramount import ance. Taking all these accounts together, they must be viewed as satisfactory, inasmuch as it would appear that the inhabitants have discovered in what their ti ue interest lies, and that they are anxious by their own endeavours to fur ther it as much as possible. Papers from Buenos Ares to the 19th March have arrived, but do not contain the slightest intelligence. Exchange on England 3d. LIVERTOOL COTTON MAItKET, JUNE 18._-There Was only a very uxxlerate demand tc.--day, but price: retroißeci as last SUMMARY OF NE :1 AND public eptitton. " Who runs may read." A letter from Paris announces that the dividend. on the Three per Cents., due on the Ist of July next, would be paid in due course by the Spanish Government. On the 12th, the Bank of San Fernando forwarded for this purpose to London a sum of 125,0001. The bank is to be allowed 6 per cent. on the amount of its advances, and to receive 1 per cent. commission. The Censeur de Lyon of the 15th inst. describes the appear mace of the different crops in the neighbourhood of that city to be most promising. The rape-crop, which was extraordinarily abundant, hati betn gathered. The price of wheat showed a tendency to rise, but should the fine weather continue, a fall in the market was considered certain, as travellers from all parts of France state that the wheat crop was everywhere superb. The vintage promising to produce wine of very superior qua lity, it was found difficult to dispose of any of the wines of 1840 or 1841, although the former was beginning to find ad mirers in the market. The sentence of the Court of Correctional Police of Paris , by which the editors of Le Temps had been condemned to pay a fine of 102,0001., and by whien that journal was to be altoge ther suppressed, was reversed on Saturday by the Cour Royale, presided over by M. Sylvestre do Chanteloup. The fine was reduced to 20,000 f. That part of the sentence which went to suppress the paper was reversed. The paper, however, ceased to appear on Saturday. The Moniteur of Friday promulgates the law relative to the establishment of the great railroad lines throughout France, and appropriating fur their construction a sum of 13,000,000 f. for 1542, and another of 29,500,000 f. for 1343. M. Tamatiz, the Secretary of Don Carlos, has by order of that Prince, addressed a letter, dated %urges, June 14, to the France, declaring that the letter inserted in the Times, and said to have been sent to Don Carlos by Queen Christina on the 14th of March last, is an unfounded invention, and that the Prince " has never, up to the present moment, charged any person with a message of any kind for his august sister-in-law, who, on her side, has manifested the same reserve." The Phare des Pyrenees of the 3d says, that the wealthy proprietors in the neighbourhood of Vich, in Catalonia, have abandoned their country seats, and taken retuge in the town, from fear of falling into the hands of the guerilla bands, which are daily increasing. Between Ripoll and Berga thirteen sol diers were captured by the Chief Felipe ; two wore killed, one wounded, and the nine remaining he disarmed and sent back to 13erga. There is in the mountain another band of 100 men, commanded by one Gomez, and a third of about 50 men, under the command of the Carlist chief Piandemunt. '1 he Madrid Patriota, of the 11th inst., says—" We learn that yesterday t: e liovernment signed a contract with the Bank of St. Fel ciinand fur a loan of 15,000,000 reals, destined to the payment of the next half-year's dividends of the Three per Ceut. Debt, both home and foreign. A courier extraordinary was despatched last night with different remittances, among which are 7,000,000 reals placed in the bank to the order of Messrs. Rothschild, of London, by Mr. Daniel Weweller, re presentative of that house at Madrid." P.A.UX:IAIVEkINTANCIT. The Lords did not meet yesteroay. In the Commons Captain Berkeley inquired whether it were true that the ship's company of the Pique had been paid their wages in light sovereigns, and Sir G. Cockburn assured him that the statement was unfounded. This was reiterated in the course of the evening, and we hope, for the honour of the Go vernment, that the tale is not ti ue. It is more likely that the sailors were imposed on by some of their usual friends. Sir J. Graham announced that he should introduce a Re gistration Bill for England this Session, but nut think of pass ing it. Sir R. Peel stated that the Government would not introduce a Registration Bill for Ireland this year. Poor Lord Stanley, how his zeal against perjury has evaporated. Mr. C. Buller brought the light sovereigns, and the procla mation concerning them, under the notice of the House, which provoked Air. Goulburn and Sir Robert Peel to enter into a lame defence of their conduct. The motion ended in nothing, except the information given by the Chancellor of the Exche quer, that any person refusing to receive the legal coin of the realm is liable to imprisonment. Many persons would be amazingly glad to have the opportunity of refusing it. The House was engaged for the remainder of the evening about the Poor-law. The motion to go into Committee was opposed by Col. Sibthorp, Mr. Ferrand, and ethers, who divided twice, resisting the motion. Both divisions gave large majori ties in favour of proceeding with the Bill, and the House went into Committee, but resumed without making any progress. The House rose at Quarter to One. OPINION. We take the following from the Herald :—" Lord Mel bourne attributes the present position of the country—not to our restrictive or protective commercial system, such nonsense he leaves to Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston—but to the evils which he describes as afflicting nations in times of peace !' With the Roman poet he sighs apparently . for war •as a remedy for the great evils of peace. This is quite characteristic .of the Noble Viscount ; careless, inattentive, and indifferent as to the present, the indolence of Lord Melbourne's cultivated but abused mind seeks for the causes of present dis. aster in the classical reminiscences of his university life, lie defends his Government by a trite dictum of Solon, and ex plains away all national difficulties by reference to Homer or Virgil. How wholesomely contrasted with this political epi curism is the strong, practical, common-sense grasp of passing events which the Duke of Wellington displayed. The evils of peace !' The Noble Duke's stomach rejected such miser able sentimentality; the emergency under which the nation staggers, replied the aged warrior and statesman, are evils, not of war, but of something as like war as any thing he ever saw; they are not measures of war the Duke truly discriminated, but they are measures which entail the cost of war, and that .cost, he added, we are now called on to pay." The Times recurs in the following terms to the hackneyed question of the Poor-lasts :—" It is not possible that a law should continue (however the period for its repeal may be delayed) which, being maintained against the general sense of the people of England, and not without a considerable breach of faith on the part of the governing party, can find no better arguments for its support than those advanced by Sir James Graham in favour of the New Poor-law on Friday. Mr. Pakington and the Right Hon. Baronet were its only de fenders in the debate, ;.though 260 members recorded their votes on the side of Government in the diuision. If we may judge from the speeches delivered by Mr. Liddell, Colonel Wood, and Mr. Stuart Wortley, there were many votes in the majority which those who gave them will find much difficulty in explaining to their constituents, if not in reconciling to their own consciences. With their professed principles and con victions, such votes cannot be reconciled at all. So far, there fore, from being discouraged, we draw a favourable omen from the result of this debate : we are rejoiced to find that 61 Mem bers are still prepared to take their stand in favour of consti tutional principles, even in one of those too frequent cases in which, as Sir Robert Inglis says, the coalition between the chiefs of the present and the late Administration, Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell, makes any opposition to Whig principles of government useless. The Post observes, in reference to the Church-rate clues tion—" We are sorry that nothing has been .:one in Parlia ment to give the k to ch reason to believe that it would be re lieved from the harassing strife and vexation which continually recur in many parishes on the subject of Church-rates. We think it is clearly the duty of a Conservative Government to take the lead in inducing the Legislature to put an end to the existing grievance. We do not see why clergymen and honest, earnest friends of the Church, should in many places be almost continually harassed because the law is in a defective state. Common sense points out that there should be some certain and effectual means of keeping pariah churches in repair, and of providing what is needful for Divine worship. The nation has often contributed money for building churches, and now it suffers them in some cases to go to decay for want of proper ri - pairs. This ought not to be. Wherever there is a parish church there ought to be some certain Means of upholding it and keeping it in a decent condition. At present there are no such certain means. In the majority of cases a Church-rate is obtained without difficulty. In some cases it is obtained with great struggle and difficulty. In some it is not obtained at all. The Government being cognizant of this, ought to pro vide a legislative remedy. The Chronicle contains the subjoined passage, suggested by Mr. Ward's announced motion on the Ballot for to-night : " Mr. Ward brings on the Ballot to-morrow ( Tuesday). It is so long since this question has been discussed that the debate will have something of an air of novelty. We expect, of course, to find the sound arguments, by which the expediency of the Ballot must always be recommended, form ing the chief materials of the speeches of its advocates; and those will as necessarily be met by plenty of those stale sophisms by which the real grounds of the selfish aristocratic opposition to this protection of the voter have always been cloaked. But the circumstances under which the present discussion is coming on will of necessity give a new character to the debate. This, like almost every other question, has assumed a new aspect, and has quite different bearings from those of four or five years ago. The events of this interval have deeply and generally impressed on the Liberal party the necessity of counteracting those evil influences of corruption and intimidation which have been recently exercised with such fatal effect against the li berties of the country. Even Parliament is sensible of the disgrace and mischiefs of bribery, and is taking measures, which, we trust, will prove effectual, for the repression of this evil. But the grievance of intimidation no measures now be fore Parliament affect to touch." The following is from the Morning Advertiser :—" While in sisting, in defiance of popular clamour, upon the necessity of extensive modification in the principle and administration of the old Poor-law, under which pauperism had spread itself so rapidly over the land as to threaten the absorption of the entire wealth of the country, we never crated to denounce those ob noxious clauses Mr the new law which, making no distinction between misfortune and crime, rending the holiest bond of nature, and vesting unconstitutional and despotic powers in a central Commission, violated the most sacred dictates of hu tertained of the real tnanit y and sound policy. Whatever doubt teay have been en principle and object of the new Poor law, must be dissipated by the debate of Friday evening, and espe cia lv by the luminous and temperate exposition that was given of it s provisions, and of the proceedings of tl.e Commissioners, by 111 e. Sharman Crawford. The late Lord Eldon, who is not wont to be remembered as one remarkable for the depth and intensity of his kindly sympathies, characterised the New Poor law Bill as 'the most infamous Bill that was ever passed in says--" any Christian country;' and each succeeding year furnishes ad.. i m provement in the Condition o f the coil ditional evidence of the justice of that severe condemnation." In reference to Sir Robert Peel's tariff, the Leeds Tim es a n 'T t h r; tt e wariell not t ect sanguine a enough to expect. A good harvest would give a revival to trad e, but after all it would be merely temporary. There is a canker eating at the heart of the country, which must be removed' before society can be re stored to health and soundness. The Dublin Evening Post pays the following compliment to Sir Edward Sugden's energy :—.." It need not be repeated here that the breaker a-head—the great object of the dread, horror, and deadly hostility of the Xail. has been, and continues to be, the Lotd Chancellor of Ireland. Lie is a raw, it seems, that, N A 4, II 11 : ti ti iv;
