Lord ELIOT last night, in briefly adverting to the dis turbance?, which have prevailed for some time in the county of Tipperary, admitted that they had slightly increased lately, drat the district was in a very unsatis factory state, and required the prompt attention of the Government. The only remedies for the outrages daily committed, he seemed to think, were increased reinforce ments of police, and mare stringent laws to prevent the pea santry from procuring fire-arms. These are the old Tory cures fin- Irish grievances. The Lord-Lieutenant and his Secretary call out for snore troops and more laws to keep clown the people, but do not inquire into the causes whicis drive them to such madness. The Irish, when well treated, conduct themselves, in general, as well as the inhabitants of the other parr of the empire ; and if any proof were wanting, we have only to refer their calumniators to the remarkable change produced by the just, mild, and conciliatory Government of Lord NORMANBY. The number of troops was greatly diminished, outrages were every day becoming less fro quest, and Ireland, some twelve months ago, was more tranquil than England. There must be some cause fin these disturbances, and it would be well, therefore, to inquire whether they arise from the harsh treatment of the landlords or the middlemen, or from a want of that impiirtial and merciful administration of justice which peculiarly marked the Government of that Noble Lord and his successor. If force, therefore, be resorted to for the protection of life and property, let an inquiry .also take place at the same time, in order to convince the people that their complaints will be heard. They a iv the greatest sufferers from this anomalous state of soe .'ety, and cars have no object in view but to get rid or some ..more insupportable evils. It will be grati fying tc' all the friends of the Irish dewy, to know that Lard E ttol , paid them the highest compliments for their praise-wrathy conduct in denouncing illegal so cieties, and exhorting their flocks to respect and obey the law. These ate the men who, when the Toriei were out of power, were described by their organs as traitors and surpliced rtrti.;ans. A curious discussion took place in the French Cham ber of Deputies on Thursday;. upon the order of the day being moved for voting the ~expenses of religious worship throughout France. M. CARNE complained of the interference of the clergy in political affairs, as un befitting the sanctity of their character. He dwelt panicularly upon the conduct of the Bishops in circulating the Papal Bull respecting Spain, and in alluding v. , the relations, political and religious, of that country h r . their pastoral letters and sermons. He also con maed the conduct of the Archbishop of PARIS in pra) 'Lug the KING to adopt measures for the better ob serva. Ice of the Sabbath. M. DITPIN said he was obliged to con. `e!mo that the clergy allowed their zeal to carry them too far. jI6 protested against their conduct with respect to Spain.. That was an independent kingdom, and ought to be. ,allowed to judge for itself in every matter. Their pastors; letters and sermons were an irregular and offensive intorfere.lco with the independence of a neighbouring natiov, with which France was at peace. We give the Minister of .„"üblic Worship's defence of the promulgation of the Pa T,31. Bull, as we find it re ported in the Journals : l in 1 - The Minister of Public Worship sis t " t wed „ irs p o l r c e e y riain the name of the Government, the % snare d Journals in favour of religion, and deg ' a tha a t c all the clergy to whom he had spoken on the subject were opposed to such attacks. As to the Pope's letter, it sim, ~ ly recommended the ed prelates of other countries to do what he I S ordered his own r the unity of the to put up prayers 0- P a r is to do at Rome — namely, of h Archbishop had fol d' Church.

I tion of the la .w, the mandate Archbishop of Paris on the A subject in the co, arse of which he showed that there was no simply requiring prayers for the y vio la tion of the C. lurch. the • Brief relative Now while we entirely disapprove y of 1 :he conduct of the French Hierarchy in promulgating to Spain, we can discover nothing whateve r unbecoming the sacred functions of the Archbishop a $f PARIS in praying the KING to have the Sabbath betar observed. On the contrary, we think the Archbishop did but Lis duty, and that the thanks of th e p o or of Fran c' are due -.to him for it. The Sabbath is the LORD'S di y, and l i e o f rest 1 has me rc if u lly an d b ount if u ll y g i ven i t f or a d -,Y mizi, for th e over-toile members of the hu m an f a in. I.Y• 11 rich m an may ma k e a Sabbath for himself of every day of • the week, but it is only on the sevent h that the hard-working artisan, and field-1 ibourer, van claim a cessation from drudgery. N Te are as opposed to the hypocritical observance • of the Sabbath, recommended by Sir ANDREW A .om ;sv , " IL CARNIII himself ; but it does not follow fro/ a that that we should desire to see the ordinary busi, icss= of lire gone through on that day. Now this ; i 4 what is done to a very great extent ins y r , nce. The poor there, under the pretext of a, It be: n g compelled to observe the Sabbath, are actua /13 • robbo.d of that day. They are made to labour without .s •eceivint r e, a fraction of more wages than they would get ( lid they only toil six days in the week. Thus they hav e : no time for self-culture—none for that calm and wholes°, me re flection to which a day of rest must give ri se in the bosom of an honest hard-toiling man. The Sabh ath is the peculiar gift of GOD to the toiling children of. men. Do not deprive them of it, neither compel them to ob a erve it after your fashion. It is their own, as much as any thing else that GOD has given them, and is intended for their happiness. To compel them to labour upon it is to rob them of this precious inheritance. France ought, therefore, to feel grateful for the solicitude of the clergy for the observance of the Sabbath. The Right of Search question was again debated in the Chambers of Peers and Deputies on Thursday. The speakers against the treaty were more violent in their condemnation of it than on the preceding day. M. BILLOUT, in the Chamber of Deputies, and Viscount DUBOUCHAGE, in the House of Peers, denounced the treaty as a scheme of England to obtain the sovereignty of the seas. M. GUIZOT replied to both at great length. He showed the inconsistency of his opponents, and proved that France had quite as much to do with form ing the treaty as England. He would not, however, ratify the treaty, although he could not pledge himself for the conduct of future Governments. If our space will allow it, we shall on Monday give an outline of the speech of the French Minister. We can only repeat what we have again and again stated in treating this question. Our wisest, safest, and most humane course, will be to abandon the treaty al together. We can make nothing of it but evil, with France and the United States opposed to us. We cannot enforce the treaty without war, and that is an eyil greater than that which we would remedy. We find the following in the Presse :—" The nomination of a Special Commission at Naples, for the purpose of concluding a treaty of commerce between Great Britain and the two Si cilies, has been already mentioned. We now learn from good authority that the two contracting parties will take as the basis of their negotiations the draft of a commercial treaty drawn up three years ago by Mr. Macgregor, who was sent to Naples for the purpose. The difficulties which arose respecting the sulphur question, on that occasion, suspended the negotiations when tole rably far advanced. On the solicitations of Sir R. Peel, who seeks for new openings for the languising industry of his country, they are now to be resumed. Should Mr. Macgregor's plan be acceded to by the Neapolitan Government, the commerce of France would immediately suffer from it severely, for that gentleman proposed nothing less than to grant to the English flag in the ports of the Two Sicilies a reduction of 10 per cent. on the import duties paid by other nations. This preference in favour of English commerce, which possesses the island of Malta, a few leagues from Sicily, would entirely destroy the commerce of Marseilles with the Two Sicilies. It is to be hoped that the French Government will not rest inactive in face of the danger which threatens so immediately our principal town in the Mediterranean." Subscriptions in favour of the sufferers by the fire at Ham burgh have been opened at Bordeaux. A letter from Philippeville, dated 6th inst., says :—" A courier has just arrived from Constantina with the following news :—General Negrier marched out on the preceding day, with 3,000 men and 1,000 horses, towards the south-west, with the purpose, it is believed, of visiting the tribe of the Haractas. He is expected to remain 40 or 50 days in the field col lecting the taxes. Colonel Brice, commandant of the upper circle of Philippeville, having learnt that the Kabyles, ex cited by a fanatical Marabout, had assembled in great num bers, and threatened our convoys, set out on the Ist inst. in all haste, determined to disperse them, but taking with him only 1,200 foot and 200 horse. On the 3d he was attacked, in a narrow defile, by several thousands of Kabyles ; but our troops at the first stood firm, and soon afterwards be came the assailants. From eleven in the morning till nine at night, they disputed the ground foot by foot, till at last they put the enemy to flight. In this close fighting our men dis played prodigies of valour, and killed a great number of the Kabyles. We, however, have to regret the loss of two officers, and: ten non-commissioned officers and soldiers killed, and have fifty-seven wounded. M. Lepelletier, surgeon-major of the 19th Light Infantry, was killed while dressing the weund of one of the men within the line of fire. The column returned in the evening of the 4th."

It appears from this that the Consuls of foreign States have agreed to refuse relief to sailors in distress of their respective countries, when they arrive in England as sailors on board an English vessel. We cannot see the justice or expediency of such a regulation. It does not appear quite fair to throw the burden of maintaining the poor sailors of other countries on England, merely because they entered into an engagement with an English Captain when they could find no other em ployment.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The improvement in the English Funds has continued to day, and as a proof of the great abundance of capital, the pre mium on Exchequer Bills, with the certainty of a reduction of one-ninth for the interest, is higher than yesterday, being 36 to 39, or very nearly the same as it was before the alteration was suspected or known.

All the above are a shade better than yesterday, and the Market has an appear ance of great firmness. Business in foreign securities has been confined to the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per cents, at 53. Mexican is without a quo tation. Rather more inquiry has existed for Railway shares, and the sales have comprised Edinburgh and Glasgow, 533, 54 ; York and North Midland, 93 ; Michand Counties Quarters, 17 3 ; Manchester and Leeds Quarters, 53 ; London and Birmingham, 181, Thirds, 60 ; New, 313 ; Cheltenham and Great Western, 22 ; South Western, 633 ; South Eastern Scrip, V- ; Eastern Counties, 9i, New, 4/. 14s. 2d., Debentures, 101. 14s. 2d. ; Greenwich, 53 ; and Brighton 363.

In reference to the question of reducing the duty on coffee still further than it is at present proposed, it is now apparently understood that the Government are averse to any alteration in their rates. The view taken of the trade in the memorial, al luded to yesterday, is one that certainly deserves great and serious consideration, since the high duty with which it has hitherto been charged, has acted as a great inducement for adulteration, and that ietended to be levied, is not sufficiently low to discourage effectually the mixture of other matters. Instances could be mentioned in which all sorts of trash bearing the smallest resemblance to chicory in outward appearance, have been cleared from the Custom-house, to be used as a substitute for the substitute itself in times of scarcity, and without the slightest reference to the properties of the article, and the duties of 755. and 375. 6d. per cwt. will still afford a bonus for perpetuating the fraud.

The discussion on the treaty for the right of search is again a leading feature in the original columns of the Paris journals, but as there is nothing novel in what they now say, and as our readers must be pretty well tired with the subject, we abstain froth giving extracts. The National makes some severe remarks on the late Court Ball in London, as being a striking and offen sive contrast to the profound misery of the working classes. One of the London journals having in its account of the ball said that the quantity of diamonds was so great that it could defy any other country to pro duce the like, the National places in juxta-position with this defiance extracts from several of the papers, showing the poignant distress of the multitude. Our Contemporary, for the purpose of giving a good climax to the article, notices the recent, and certainly in foreign eyes at least, not very creditable facts avowed in the House of Commons with reference to the practices at elections. Having done this, the National says—" We have thought it right to place these two political facts (the misery of the people and the admission of the exist ence of certain practices at elections), by the side of the information about the profusion of diamonds. It is cer tainly true that there is no country in Europe which has so much wealth as England, but there is also none that offers an ex ample of such odious misery and such bare. faced corruption." The question of the religious observance of the Lord's Day, which is again brought before the public by the discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the Address of the Archbishop and Clergy of Paris to. the King on the Ist instant, is noticed by some of the Journals, but, generally speaking, not in so con secutive a way as to admit of our giving extracts. The following observations are made by the Temps:— " We are far from declaring that the rest of the Sab bath is nut necessary. If the Divine Legislator made it a religious law, he did it because he knew that the mul titude were incapable of reasoning. But it is a law ?f political economy, as much as one of religion—public health, humanity, the best mode of employing the strength of a nation, declare in its favour. We should desire to see the conviction of this truth penetrate into every mind; and it is really annoying to see a good cause compromised by weak advocates, who do not understand it, and who, above all, do not preach by example." PAILLLA.IffEkViLIti". Both Housesll77;s the brief holidays, not again, we presume, to take breath till her Majesty prorogues them. The Lords only received a few petitions, one of which, presented by Lord Sydney, from Lord Townshend, pray ing the interference of their Lordships on account of some person having taken his seat in the House of Commons as Earl of Leicester, the second title of the Marquis of Townshend, was referred to a Committee of Privileges. Their Lordships adjourned till Monday. In the Commons Sir Robert Peel, in reply to Major Vivian, said he had witnessed an experiment made by Capt. Warner (the celebrated Thunder and Lightning inventor, in favour of whom the Times , from brotherly love, said so much two years ago), which was successful, and the Government had made an offer to Capt. Warner for his secret, but the purchase had not been completed. In reply to Mr. C. Buller, and in defiance of a great anxiety professed by Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Cochrane to clear their conduct, Sir Robert Peel refused to allow him precedence with Mr. Warburton's petition. Sir Robert moved for a Committee of Supply. On that motion se veral questions were asked. To Mr. 0. Stanley Sir J. Graham replied that he had heard nothing of uniting North Shropshire to North Wales circuit. To Lord Palmerston Sir R. Peel replied that he had lately seen an additional Report on the boundary ques tion, and as soon as the plans and appendix were com pleted, it would be laid before tke House. To an Honourable Member Lord Eliot admitted that serious outrages had recently been committed in the north of Tipperary, which the Noble Lord attributed to a defect in the law prohibiting the peasantry to have arms. The House went into a Committee of Supply, and voted the Ordnance Estimates. Captain Boldero on moving them stated, that the loss by the destruction of the Tower was not above 128,0001., including the build ing, which, it seems, was in so bad a condition as to be worthless. There were 94,000 stand of arms in it ; 4,000 stand were saved ; and 12,000 were, before the fire, good for nothing. The chief loss was 78,000 stand of good arms. A considerable number of votes for the Ordnance, and for the Navy, were agreed to without much discussion. The Report on the Colonial Passengers Bill was re considered, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Friday next. The Pentonville Prison Bill was read a third time. The Ecclesiastical Corporations Leasing Bill went through a Committee, after some observations had been made about the Tories doing that very thing, touching Church property, they had been outrageously violent against the Whigs for proposing. The Merchants and Factors Bill also went through a Committee. _ _ On the motion of Mr. Roebuck, the Bribery Preven tion Bill, which came down from the Lords, was read a first time. The Hon. Member said, he thought it might supersede the necessity for his Indemnity Bill. Sir J. Graham obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Tithe Commutation Act. At a Quarter past Eleven the House adjourned. __ MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. The city of Hamburgh has several times suffered at former periods from extensive inundations. In 1510 the Elbe over flowed it, and damaged it to the extent of 5,000,000 of marks ; in 1771 a like calamity destroyed merchandise and property of nearly 8,000,000 marks value ; and in 1790 the river rose to the height of 20 feet, occasioning incalculable loss and many lives. LAW AND POLICE. At the Thames Police-court yesterday, John Rutherford, second mate of the ship Ann Hall, on her voyage to London from Charleston, and two of the crew, were committed to take their trial for mutiny. Twelve of the sailors have already been committed on the same charge. They all admit having taken possession of the ship, and are prepared to prove that the Cap tain was insane. Among other strange orders given by the Captain was to cast anchor in the Western Ocean, where there were no soundings. LITEM.A.R.Ir AND SCIENTIFIC. The Harrow speeches this year will be delivered on Wed nesday, June 1, and Wednesday, June 29, in consequence of the Cambridge installation. bOUILT—FASHIONABLE. Sir Robert and Lady Peel issued invitations yesterday for a grand dinner on the 4th of next month. The Countess of Zetland has an assembly on the 30th inst. MISCELLANEOUS. _ Matthew R. Poulton, Esq., the only son of the celebrated Matthew Boulton, whose name stands conspicuous among the men of mechanical genius in our country, died at Birmingham, on Wednesday last, in his 72d year. M. Pouche, a French gentleman, residing near Leicester square, has reached the patriarchal age of 107, and has a son alive above 80. He was born at Rouen in 1737, and since his twentieth year has resided in England. The authorities of Hamburgh have requested Mr. Lindley, the English engineer, whose exertions contributed materially to save a great portion of the town, to furnish plans for the re building of the city. Mr. Lindley has sent over to this country for a copy of the plan proposed by Sir Christopher Wren for the rebuilding of London after the grea; fire, to aid him in making out his designs. A boat containing two gentlemen, one of them Mr. Robert Henderson, of the mercantile firm of London and Glasgow, w as run down by the Shannon steamer last Tuesday, in the Clyde, and both drowned. At the meetin g fur the Counteraction of Infidelity, held yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms, Mr. Brindley, the lecturer on the occasion, stated that during his three years' crusade against Socialism, he had travelled more than 30,000 miles, had attended 500 public meetings, and had written and published 100,000 books and tracts. At a meeting of Reformers yesterday, held in John-street, Adelphi, it was resolved to form a new Reform Society, to be called " The Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association," Mr. Warburton to be Chairman. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) (CORK COUNTY). The Committee met again this morning at the usual hour. Some delay took place in consequence of certain documents not baying bees produced, it was, however, arranged among Counsel that they should be put in at a later stage in the pro. ceedings. No further evidence having been adduced, Mr. SMITH addressed the Committee at length in support of the case of the petitioners. The Learned Gentleman, after quoting the statute which enacts " That e l ec ti ons s h a ll b e free," cited several instances in which the statute had been enforced. and elections had been declared invalid on the ground that they had been disturbed by riots. That course was taken in the case of elections for Southwark, Westminster, Pontefract, and other places. The Learned Gentleman then went over the evidence adduced before the Committee, for the purpose of showing that, at the Cork election, serious riots had taken place—that the voters of Mr. Leader had been intimidated, and that several of them had been ill-treated. On these grounds he contended, that the election could not be considered a fair or valid election. LYME REGIS. The Committee met at the usual hour. Counsel were heard at length on the vote of Joseph Curtis, which had been yesterday under the consideration of the Com mittee. After some deliberation, the Committee decided that the vote should be retained. Mr. COCKBURN then announced, on the part of the peti tioner that he should not proceed any further after the d ec i_ sion to which the Committee had just come with that class of votes; but he should pass to the class of votes objected to o n the ground of bribery and treating. The first vote he should object to on that ground was the vote of Abraham Agland. Mr. TALBOTT stated, that as he had been taken somewhat by surprise by the announcement of his Learned Friend, he was not at the moment prepared to defend the vote objected to. It was arranged in consequence of this statement that th e inquiry into the vote should not then be proceeded with ; and the Committee therefore adjourned till Monday, when the inquiry will take place. ANOTIIER SUPPOSED MURDER.—Throughout the whole of yesterday (Friday) Croydon was in a state of excite ment, owing to finding the b o dy o f a y oung man which was lying in a field near Croydon Common, with his head shattered in the most frightful manner, his brains being scattered all around him, and the body being covered with blood. At his side was a small pistol, the conte n t s o f w hi c h h a d been dis charged, and from the situation in which it was lying it is be lieved that the young man could not have committed so rash an act himself. On searching his pockets some gunpowder and bullets were found, which evidently had been thrust into them while the body had been lying on the ground, no doubt to make it appear that the unfortunat e man h a d comm i tted sui cide. His body,which has not yet been identified, lies at the Mail Coach Tavern, Croydon Common. The deceased appa rently was about twenty years of age, 5 feet 4 inches in height, and wore a brown frock coat. The Count de Brake, Marshal of Sweden, has been named by the King of the French, Grand Cross of the Legi • on of Honour. WOOL MARKET.

A seaman, just paid off from the Daphne sloop of war, was brought up under the following circumstances : It appeared that he arrived in a fly from Gravesend last night, and was set down in the Borough, completely helpless from intoxication. He was carried on a stretcher to the station house, and, when he came to his senses, he found that he was robbed of all the wages he received at Chatham, aft er th ree years' service in the Mediterranean. He added, that he wanted to get round to Portsmouth, but had no money to get there, as he must go to sea again, having lost all, in.itead of going d o w n to Scotland to see his friends. Mr. COTTINCHAM said that this was a striking instance of the improvidence of sailors, and asked the defendant why he got so drunk? The defendant replied that for three years he had been con stantly at sea, and when ho got on shore he was determiped on enjoying himself; but that he had paid dearly for it. He was advised to apply at " the S a il ors Home," and they would ender him some assistance to get to Portsmouth. He was then discharged. RAILWAY RETURNS.

She had gone up to the Cavehill in company with a young man, and having arrived at the top of M'Cart's Fort, they were both standing close to the edge of the rock, when she, under the im pression that her companion was dangerously near the bi ink, stepped forward to pull him back, but in doing so by some means lost her footing, and was precipitated down the awful precipice, a depth of not less than 200 feet. The unfortunate girl was of course dashed to pieces on the spot.—Belfast Chronicle. SPORTING. JUDEX'S PREDICTION OF THE DERBY. " The boy in yellow wins the day." The last speech and confessions of Judex are now forwarded to you. On the same occasion last year I commenced my epistle by saying—" After a twelvemonth's close attention to the proceedings at Tattersall's, and a regular attendance at every race-course in the kingdom, it is naturally expected that I should be able to form a pretty correct opinion of those horses that will be there or thereabouts when the judge is called upon to give his decision." My presumption was blamed, but through good and evil report I adhered to my opinion, and came off triumphant. The odds betted against Coronation were 10 to 1 on the day that my judgment appeared in the Post. There are 182 subscribers to this Derby ; that is, 28 more than last season. There have been 115 horses individually backed to win this Derby , that is, 30 more than there were backed last year. The number that I calculate will start is 24, that is, five less than started last year. Eight dark horses come to the post, that is horses that have never started. Last year there were fourteen. On the Saturday before Epsom last year no horse had seen sto 1, taken. From all this it appears that the road to fame is easier of access now than it was in 1841. Let us see, as the blind man occasionally remarks. Attila, having run several times under great advantages, has never been heat. The Scotts evidently did not imagine in the autumn they had such a good horse as he has since proved himself, or he would never have been sent to such a place as the Pottery, for such a pastry stake. Before his race for the Champagne Stakes, at Doncaster, 50 to I was offered against him, and refused. After this, 30 to 1 might have been obtained to any amount ; and after his second victory here 18 and 20 to I were the odds offered. He then came to Newmarket, and won the Clearwell; 10 to 1 was now the price taken ; and 1 think no stronger proof can be desired that he has been Scott's horse throughout than the fact that, while the other horses in the same stable were being backed to win thousands and tens of thousands, the position of Attila remained firm and unshaken, and, one day excepted, he has ever since the Clearwell been a rising favourite. The party are on him, and I know, con fidently anticipate the honour of being first or second. As for Jack, Scott's second horse, he is nearly the last horse in the race I should select to win. lam well aware of the miracles John Scott performs, or I would stake my repu tation to Lombard-street (long odds, Mr. Reader, as you well know) against the horse sold by Lord Jersey for 3501., and tried by Colonel Peel to be good for nothing. I would net as far insult two of the keenest judges in Great Britain as to ex press any other opinion. The horse has one redeeming qua ' lity : he is by Touchstone, I believe John Scott will run no other, unless it be Scalteen. Coldrenick is the last horse but one hacked for the Derby : two months ago, it was scarcely believed that such a horse was in training. Venison came even later, was third, and might have been second to Bay Mid dleton. I alluded last week to the usual accuracy of the Stockbridge trials, and I have several times mentioned the un precedented sums of money invested. The man in the street says John Day never hail such a horse, and as Wiseacre is not good enough to start, we may fairly presume that no weight will bring them together. Canadian is at eight to one, taken; can anything justify the price? True he has never been beat, but what has he met besides Barrier? a horse of the same form as Wiseacre, or worse, and 'Wiseacre is not good enough to start ! I saw the race between Canadian and Barrier, and I was fool enough to think (I believe I stand alone) that a race it was, and if they were going to run to-morrow over (T.M.M.) the two middle miles, I am not sure which I should stand on. Very bad horses win the Derby. Condition on the day, and good luck in the race goes far towards winning. Canadian certainly has the best hindquarters I ever saw, but he has a queer under standing. The Winchester air may help him, but I cannot choose him to win the Derby, any more than I should choose Barrier with James Robinson on his back ; I cannot forget Barrier's performance, Criterion Course : the hill literally choked him. Auckland. when a yearling, was scalded, and nearly grilled to death, on the Birmtngam Railway : had he died, something like ten thousand pounds would have been demanded, damages. I have heard people say that Auckland is a great lumbering brute, with heavy shoulders ; what did they say of Launcelot's shoulders? and he was lame, and had done no work. The sums of money, too, laid against Auckland in the winter, were heavy and terrifying to those who had never deserted him. I admired Touchstone, I stood on Launcelot, I shall stick to the blood. It is very well known that, of all the public horses at the end of last year, I fancied Chatham, and I thought he never should have been beat at two years old. Something was the matter in February—what, I know not—but the horse was sent away from Cooper's, and then trained, I suppose, on physic, for when he came out in the Craven Meeting, there was not so much of him as in the preceding October. Colonel Peel did wisely to sell him, Seahorse being sound, having a hundred to one the best chance : the burlesque of the cow's milk, asses' milk, and, as the schoolboys will have it, a little pigeon's milk, seems to have gammoned the public uncommonly : a horse amiss two months out of the three before Epsom must have a splendid chance indeed of winning the Derby. ( N.B. It is reported that they feed the horses on cow's milk at Goodwood. ) I believe William de Fortibus runs to guard the late Go vernor-General : Combermere beat him at Chester, and is sure to beat him again, as he certainly ran under every disadvan tage when he won the Dee stakes. Let three or four of the favourites cough, and this horse and the winner of the Rowley Mill Plate will be home before the biggest half of them. Nobody seems to know what Forth will start, a solace oss with the o long, or another Little Wonder. Every body has backed the veteran's lot, determined to be on the right one this time. Mr. Forth trains at Mitchell Grove. I have never seen his horses, and knowing nothing shall say nothing, except that he is perhaps the only man in the world who eould have a real good horse, and himself only be aware of the fact. Lasso has never been out. The colt by Agreeable is a favourite at last. Yonng Rowton did not keep in the shade so long, and a good horse he was—to run in a hackney cabriolet. But Chif ney, in his day, has been a wonderful man. Besides the above, the following are likely to run:—Tiptee, Moss Trooper, Oneida Chief, Arkansas, Fireaway, Belcceur, Cheops, Palladium, per haps Robert de Gorham, perhaps another, perhaps something of Lord George Bentinck's. I have said my say. The learned public would bitterly com plain if I minced the matter, therefore my decision is, Auck land first, Coldrenick second. Victorious—l add one more trophy to the many already gained. Defeated—l shall greet the novelty, and shall be weak indeed, if I do not satisfactorily account for it. Remember, reader, that the worst place I ever obtained in any Derby was third, and that the worst place I ever obtained in any St. Leger, was second. Swallow that. May 21. JUD EX .

The view is taken from the Asha Mahi, the western of the two hills which form the natural defence of Caubul ; and from this elevated position the whole City is embraced at one glance, reposing at the foot of the opposite hill. The course of the river Caubul—a small, but clear and rapid stream—is seen dividing it into two unequal parts. On its right, are the great mass of buildings, the principal bazaars, the tomb of Timour Shah, &c., together with the fortress of the city, and the Royal Palaces on the rise of the hill; and also the pass between the hills leading to the valley of Chahar Deli; by which Caubul is approached. On the left bank of the river is a spacious suburb, with many detached houses ; and towards the east, a vast extent of plain of the most beautiful description, presenting meadows, orchards, gardens, vineyards, &c., in the highest possible state of cultivation and luxuriance, interspersed with small villages, and the castellated mansions of some of the wealthiest of the Afghan nobles. In the remote dis tance, the view is bounded by an immense range of lofty, precipitous mountains, a branch of the stupen dous Himalayas, which encloses the city on all sides, and forms a natural barrier most difficult to pass. Some of these lofty eminences are covered with eter nal snows ; others are of a dark, frowning character ; and some of the lower and more gradual uplands are clothed, apparently with a sort of copse-wood, and crowned with mud-forts. Notwithstanding the au stere dignity imparted to it by some of its tremendous gloomy mountain precipices, the view, as a whole, is essentially one of a cheerful character.; the beau tiful is blended with the sublime in equal proportions; and the impression made on the spectator's mind is, that Caubul, and its immediate vicinity, is one of the loveliest and most picturesque spots on earth. To break the appearance of still-life, Mr. Burford, with great skill, has introduced several effective groups of na tives, and represented Dost Mahomed, and his fol lowers, together with Sir Alexander Burnes, and several other well-known individuals, bivouacking on the slope of a hill contiguous to the city. This group is arranged with much ease and grace, and the figures delineated are all, we believe, portraits. The colour ing of the Panorama is skilful throughout, and, in particular, the vivid green of the luxuriant orchard trees is brought out with the happiest effect. PORTRAIT of the DUKE of WELLINGTON. We were yesterday favoured with a private view of Mr. Salter's full-length portrait of the Duke of Wel lington, which is now in the course of exhibition at Messrs. Welch's and Gwynne's, in St. James's-street, previously to its being engraved in line. When we say that this portrait is one of the most successful ever painted of his Grace, we do it no more than justice. It is full of characteristic expression, and there is a simplicity about it, and an absence of all meretricious effect, that cannot be too highly praised. Without in the slightest degree detracting from the likeness, the artist has had the rare skill to impart an elevation and thoughtful intelligence to the Duke's countenance, which has been missed by the majority of those who have attempted his portrait. The attitude is remarkably firm, and dignified, and at the same time perfectly easy ; and nothing can be more graceful or natural than the manner in which the Duke is made to hold his hat in his hand. He is represented in full military costume, and the setting sun in the back-ground of the picture forms a touch ing poetic allusion to the declining age of the illus trious veteran. As regards the colouring, it possesses all that chasteness and harmony for which Mr. Sal ter's paintings have long been celebrated. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Lord Byron's tragedy of Marino Faliero was performed at this theatre last night, for the benefit of Mr. Macready. The impression it made upon a thronged audience may be regarded as the completion of that tribute which, though late, has now been fully rendered to a poet who has been so unduly depre ciated since his death as he was, perhaps, in some respects, overpraised during his life-time. There is no occasion for criticism on a drama so well known as this of Marino Faliero. The dialogue has been very ju diciously cut down, giving increased rapidity to the action of the piece, but leaving unimpaired the poetry of its passion. It was pleasant, ever and anon, by some magnificent burst of emotion or splendour of imagery, to feel revived, as from the dead, sensations of long passed years, when Lord Byron first, by " thoughts that breathe and words that burn," commanded the world to acknowledge him for a poet. Such an instance is that of the passage, in the scene be tween the Doge and Angiolina, commencing "where is honour, innate and precept-strengthened," of which Mr. Macreadv's superb recitation produced an effect only surpassed by the sustained grandeur of his delivery of the prophecy at the close of the drama. The Doge is nicely discriminated by Mr. Macready from other characters in some respects similar, in which he has so often and so powerfully wrought upon the feelings of the audience. This is a fine, full blooded old man. His irritability is that of the heart and not of the nerves. There is no dotage in his tenderness. There is no imbecility in his wrath. Our homage is always rendered to the reality and intensity of his expression. The air of reality imparted by the almost continuing presence of Mr. Macready in the scene, is aided by those accessories which he so well knows how to direct when numbers are required; as in the gathering of the conspirators, and the sitting of the council. In her appeal to the senators, and her parting scene with the Doge, the skilful acting of Miss H. Faucit preserved all the dignity and sweetness of the character of Angiolina. Mr. Phelps and Mr. Elton, as Israel Bertuccio and Bertram, were thoroughly efficient. Mr. Macready was called for, after the play, to be greeted with enthusiastic acclamations. IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT AT THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Dr. Payerne, yesterday, in the presence of many scien tific men of undoubted skill and great reputation, descended below the surface of the great well in the Royal Polytechnic Institution, and remained there for the space of three hours, shut up within the diving bell, and totally excluded from all possibility of obtaining external air, inasmuch as the only aperture by means of which air is supplied to the ordinary tenants of this diving apparatus was completely and effectually closed up. The sole apparatus with which Dr. Payerne pro vided himself was a small square box, which he carried down with him, and in which it must be presumed were kept con tained the magical ingredients by means of which he kept life in himself during his prolonged sojourn under water. A lighted candle was also, for the convenience more of the spec tators than of the experimentalist, taken down with him, and on his return to the surface, after three hours s' ay, Dr. Payerne protested that it had given him as much trouble to keep the flame burning as it would have done to have supplied the means of breathing below the surface of the water to seven ordinary men. It was arranged previous to his descent, that Dr. Payerne should give a signal to the observers of his being still alive every five minutes during his stay under water, an engage ment which he punctually fulfilled to the great gratification of the spectators, who sat wondering what the experimentalist could be about, and how he contrived to get his supply of air. At the expiration of the three hours Dr. Payerne made his appearance again, without seeming in the slightest degree ex hausted or inconvenienced, but, on the contrary, expressing an earnest desire to renew the experiment if any person present remained incredulous as to what he had witnessed. On inquiry, Dr. Payerne stated that the mode by which he sustained life beneath the surface of the water was so simple that a child might practice it successfully. and that there was no danger that the materials would be exhausted however pro longed the stay, or whatever might be the number of persons dependent upon them for the means of breathing; as a proof of the perfect calmness with which the experiment was conducted, Dr. Payerne registered the variations of the ther mometer which he carried down with him every 10 or 12 mi nutes, the result showing a difference only of 14 degrees, the two extremes being 594 to 61 degrees. The experimentalist further stated, that he had first essayed the efficacy of his pro cess in a chamber hermetically sealed, and that he had never had an opportunity afforded him of making a trial under water before the occasion at present referred to. The results were perfectly satisfactory, though at the same time they appeared very surprising to the persons assembled to witness the experiment, and there will be little or no doubt felt as to the reality of the whole proceeding, when we state that amongst the most attentive and watchful observers of the process were General Pasley, of the Royal Engineers, Profes sor Faraday, Sir W. Baynes, Bart., Captain Kerr, Mr. Vi gors, and other scientific persons. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE. - - CHATHAM, MAY 19.—This day a Jury assembled at the Duncan's Head public-house, New-road, Chatham, to in vestigate the circumstances attendant upon the death of two men, named Thomas Turner and William Taylor, whose lives were lost on Monday night last, whilst emptying a cesspool in Best-street. The first witness examined was Robert Taylor, brother of the deceased, Wm. Taylor. He stated that his brother was a bricklayer, and had been employed in making a cesspool adjoining to another cesspool, on the premises of Mr. Farmer, Best-street. The new cesspool was nineteen feet deep, and the old one nine feet. A stage was erected in the new one, about nine feet below the surface of the earth. On Monday night the deceased, Wm. Taylor, and Thomas Turner went down into the hole and made an aperture. Witness remained above. Soon afterwards witness heard his brother cry out, " Dear me, I can hardly breathe," when almost in an instant he fell into the suil. Witness called to Turner, and said " For God's sako put the rope down and fetch him up." Turner did so; he, however, fell in also. Mr. Dunstall, the master, who was then on the stage, sang out for the rope, and before he could be brought up he fell and fainted. He slid not fall into the soil. Witness and a person named Farmer pulled out Mr. Dunstall. Witness's brother and Turner were got out, but they were dead. Benjamin Tribe, surgeon, said he was sent for on Monday evening a quarter before ten o'clock. Sa - A the deceased, Tay lor, immersed in the sewer with his head out of the fluid. "1 he body havirg been brought up, witness found the deceased was dead. Turner when brought up was also dead. 'I heir deaths were produced by suffocation, by inhaling a quantity of gas. The Jury, after some little consideration, returned a verdict— " Accidentally suffocated." The Captain of a vessel which arrived at Havre on Tuesday from Hamburgh, which place he quitted on the 14th inst., states, that in clearing away the ruins of the buildings which have been destroyed, 160 bodies bad already been found; 22 of them were in a cellar. He states, as positive, that 1,500 houses have been entirely destroyed, and 720 so injured as to be uninhabitable in their present state. A meeting of the shareholders of the Commercial Steam Packet Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering and determining upon the propriety of dissolving and putting an end to the Company, and of authorising and empowering the Directors to wind up and settle its affairs, pursuant to the terms of the deed of settle ment of the Company. Air. 11leaden, Chairman of the Com pany, presided. The Report, setting forth the difficulties of the Company, having been react, a motion was made that it be adopted, and referred back to the Directors to carry the same into execution, and that with the Trustees they be authorised and empowered to sell the vessels and property of the Company, and assist in winding up the Company's affairs in the most ad vantageous manner. After some discussion the motion was agreed to. ..... PARLIAMENTARY REFORM . „, - Yesterday, Mna 21. Et. 'Nfeetino• of Reformers, am. _: whom were Messrs. H. Warburt' , ,n, J.
