And never h.st thou once changed hands, nor shall you. When but a little fellow, newly breeched, I owned a past of thee to hold my raiment ; Dress badly cut, and very badly s itched, And badly purchased for a heavy payment. Oh, when I think upon the times departed, How glad I feel that Moses ever started. What different garments dolt thou now contain? Thy drawers are now enriched by Messrs.

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL.--" Valerie" is the title of the new work of that popular W river Captain Marry at, in which ho appears to have broken new ground. As if aware that he had done enough in Tales of the Sea, and had exhausted the interest for his Peter Simples, Frank Mildmays, and the rest o f hi s naval heroes, he has here confined his imagination to the land, and exerted all his well-known talent in giving attraction to the story of a heroine. " Valerie" has been pronounced by the best judges one of the most pleasing of his works. It is a domestic story of our own times, remarkable for its truth and simplicity. assuming (like " Ja n e Eyr e ") to be th e au t o bi ogra phy of a t lc 111 young aers oafd vsoe girl co eu o t f rye, g s i m n i indeedtl y England gw theah n o dwg and no e d s l e th m r ao France.nuaggh e mm Theea n n t y o b a o n o d t d h f 6- sk in egt of the narrative, are in Captain Marryat s best manner.

Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, and discolorations fly before the application of the Ka lydor, and give place to a healthy smoothness and trans• parency of complexion. In cases of sunburn, or stings of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. As a protector and restorer of the hair, Rowland's Macassar Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from the injurious operation of the sun and dust. It is highly necessary, on purchasing, to see that the word " Row land's" precedes the name of the article on the wrapper of each, as spurious imitations are abroad. CRICKET.—THE COUNTY OF KENT V. THE COUNTY OF YORK.—This Is the first instance on record wherein these two counties ha ve come into collision as aspirants in the first of Engla nd's g ames and pastimes, and now that the contest has once commenced it ii to he hoped it may be found in operation in every succeeding season. The score at the close of the p lay stood thus:—Kent, Ist innings 157, 2d ditto 114 ; t otal 271. Yorkshire, Ist innings 95, 2LI ditto 110; total 205. Kent therefore won by 66 runs. STEAMER BETWEEN B ATH AND BRISTOL.--0 11 Tuesday last a party of gentlemen proceeded to. Bath in the steam yacht Fairy, propelled by scr ew, built by and helcnging to Messrs. South, Breillat, and Cherry, St. Philip's, in this city. Her arrival in Bath and the neighbourhood created much excitement to crowds of persons who were attracted by such a strange sail upon the river. The engine, which is extremely neat and pact, is of 11 -horse power, the screw nineteen inches in diameter, and makes 120 revolutions per minute. She performed the trip from the upper locks at Bath to the wharf in St. Philip's, 201 miles, in two hours and thirty live minutes. This is the first screw yacht that has ap peared on the Bristol or Bath waters.—Bristot Mirror. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON: JUNE 3.—The Royal Mail steam ship Trent, Captain R. S.

With respect to this mysterious matrimonial alliance, and the negotiations said to have been connected with it, touching the succession to the Spanish Throne, we have received the following letters from the Marquis de Vil lufranca. We may also add, that we have been autho rised by the young lady's family to state that there is no truth in the report that the Count de Moutemolin is ab >ut to form a matrimonial alliance with Miss de Horsey, the only daughter of Mr. Spencer de Horsey : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

(From Eliza Cook's Journal.) Here she comes aith broidered kirtle, here she is—the Lady June, Singing, like a ballad minstrel, many a gay and laughing tune. Let us see what she is dress in—let us learn the " mode" she brings— For maiden never looked so lovely, though she wear but simple things. See her robe is richly woven of the greenest forest l e av e s, With full bows of honeysuckle looping up the flowing sleeves. See the fragrant marsh-flag plaited, forms her yellow tasselled sash, With the diamond studs upon it, flung there by the river splash. See her flounces—widely swelling, as the Zephyr's wings go past, Made of roses, with the woodbine's perfumed thread to _ stitch them fast. See the foxglove's bell of crimson, and the poppy's scarlet bud, 'Mid her tresses, bright and vivid as the sunset's ruby scud. See the fresh and luscious bouquet that she scatters in her way, nothing but a handful she has snatched of new mown hay. her garments have been fashioned by a free and simple hand, But tell me, have you seen a lady look more beautiful and grand? - Yon old man has quite forgotten what his errand was, I As he stares with listless pleasure on her garment-folds of green. Busy dealers pause a moment in their hurry after gain, Thinking there is something joyous in her trolling carol strain. Youths and maidens track her closely, till their footsteps bly-thely mingle, In the field and by the streamlet, up the hill and through the dingle. Children fondly gather round her, prying into leaf and blossom, Pilfering with tiny fingers, jewels from her very bosom. Here sbe comes with fairy footsteps, chaunting ever as she runs, Ditty words that soothe the mournful, and enchant the happy ones. Here she comes with broidered kirtle, and we'll list what Lady June May be telling out so sweetly, in that merry dancing tune. THE SONG OF JUNE. Oh, come with me, whoever ye be, Come from the palace, and come from the cot; The strong and the hale—the poor and the pale— Ah, sad is the spirit that follows me not. Old December lighted his pyre, And beckoned ye in to the altar blaze; He hung up his mistletoe over the fire, And pressed soft lips upon Christmas-dap. Ye welcomed him with his eyes so dim, But I know ye have more love for me, When I wander about, and whistle ye out With my blackbird pipers in every tree. Oh, come from the town, and let us go down To the rivulet's mossy and osiered brink; 'Tis pleasant to note the lily queen float, The gadfly skim and the dappled kine drink. Oh, let us away where the ring doves play, By the skirts of the wood in the peaceful shade; And there we can count the squirrels that mount, And the flecks that browse on the distant glade. And if we should stay till the farewell of day, Its parting shall be with such lingering smile, That the western light, as it greeteth the night, Will be caught by the eastern ray peeping the while. Little ones come with your chattering hum, And the bee and the bird will be jealous full soon; For no music is heard like the echoing word Of a child, as it treads 'mid the flowers of June. Ye who are born to be weary and worn With labour or sorrow, with passion or pain, Come out for an hour, there's balm in my bower, To lighten and burnish your tear rusted chain. Oh, come with me, wherever you be, And beauty and love on your spirits shall fall; The rich and the hale, the poor and the pale, For Lady June scatters her joys for all. ELIZA. COOK.

By this arrival we are put into possession of Jamaica papers to the 7th ult. They are extremely barren of news, and, consequently, supply us with very meagre in formation. After a careful perusal, we find that matters remain much in the same unsatisfactory state as when the last packet sailed for England, business of every kind being almost at a stand still. The packet which arrived out in the middle of April conveyed news of an improvement in the prices of sugars, in consequence of the shortness of the crops in the West Indies, &c., which has had a somewhat cheering effect upon the planters; but still it appears, from every day's observation and experience, the crops in Jamaica are so lamentably deficient, that the loss in this respect will be more than commensurate to such a slight advantage in rise. Major-General Banbury, who had been confined to his house ever since his arrival in the island, by severe in disposition, had so far recovered his usual health es to assume the active duties of his command. Two Spaniards had been condemned to death for the murder of Richard Longsworth, on the high teas, off the coast of British Honduras, in 02tober last, by shoot ing him. They prayed the trill to be postponed. as they could prove their innocence it witnesses were brought from Honduras; but, as his Excellency stated that he had no means of bringing up those witnesses at the pub lic expense, the trial proceeded, and both the unfortu nate, tri,ndless olicns wire cot di 'lined, midst the sym pathy of a very crowded c3urt. The affair has produced much sensation in the island. The weather was exceedingly hot, and rain was much wanted. The late public meeting at Falmouth to adopt a peti tion to the Queen, in favour of a reform in the Coun cil of Jamaica, was to be followed up by another at Lucia. His Excellency the Governor had issued his procla mation further proroguing the meeting of the House of Assembly to the sth of June. HAYTI. Advices had been received at Jamaica from Ilayti to the 22d of April. The capture of Azua by President Soulouque is announced in a bulletin, dated April 8. The loss of the insurgents was, it appears by the Pres'. dent's order of the day, stated to be thirty-two dead and seventy-two wounded. On the Government side, only four dead and twenty-six wounded. It was asserted that General Maximilian, who had been denounced, but had not succeeded in secreting himself since the last outbreak, had been captured at Port-au-Prince, dis guised as a woman. It was reported he was aiming at the Presidency. All parties, however, hold him in detestation at Port .au-Prince, and it was expected that on the return of Soulouque from Azaa he would be shot. Business of all kinds is represented as being in a miserable :tate. The dollar (Hayden) was worth but 43. sterling. Not a piece of any kind of specie was to be got—nothing but paper, of which the Government was issuing large quantities daily. The Government had given notice that flour and pork should be sold at certain prices, and any one selling above such price would have his goods seized. Men of business, there fore, hardly know what to do. There were not a hun dred barrels of flour in the market, and owing to the restrictions on commerce it was doubtful when that supply would be increased. A French sloop of war was stationed at Port-au-Prince ; but there was no English vessel in the port. CHAGRES AND PANAMA. The Trent brings news from the above places; from the former to the 25th of April, and the latter to the 22d. Tho arrivals of emigrants en route to California were on the increase, and consisted of adventurers of all classes. ' The means of transit wero exceedingly scarce, and consequently the charge for a passages to San Fran cisco exorbitantly high, as much as 250 dollars demanded, snd, in short, insisted on for a cabin passawe. For second berths the rate was almost as high. People are readily found to give these sums, so eager are they to get from such a scene of misery as now exists at Panama, and also equally anxious to reach their destination. Robbery, and even attempts at murder, were rife at Panama. Many of the un'ortunatc emigrants had been robbed to a serious amount, and some of them left pen niless, and without the means of proceeding on their journey. The British brig the Two Friends which arrived at Panama early in April, consigned to a respectable mer chant, was immediately chartered for the high price of 35,000 dollars to proceed to San Francisco. Such was the uncertainty and anxiety amongst the emigrants that the contracting parties were enabled to fill her up at the exorbitant rate of 250 dollars for a steerage and 350 for a cabin passage! The whole of the passage tickets (100) were taken after the books were opened. The British steamer Peru, which arrived at Panama, as the latter end of March, brought 700,000 dollars in bullion, about one -h a lf o f wh i ch was in Californian gold.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the De Cordova's Jamaica Intelligencer.) GENERAL REMARKS. The trade of the past fortnight has been exceedingly dull. Every branch of business appe ars to b e irnmoe rately depressed; a sad condition of things, which is to be attributed only to the state of poverty into which the great mass of the people has been plunged by the con siderable number of estates thrown up and remaining idle. This must continue and increase until England, returning to a sense of humanity and justice to the slave, shall cease to afford a market to slave-grown sugar to the ruin of her own colonies. REVIEW OF MARKETS. [Unless specifically stated to the contrary, long or duty paid prices are always given, and ara to be considered as wholeslle prices.] Bread—Sales have been made of 400 barrels, Wat son's at 18s. and 100 barrels of his crackers at 2Us. per barrel. Butter—Sales of Irish butter aro made in small lots at 91. to 90., and some of the dealers who purchased at 90. are now re -selling at 9d., evidently acting under some panic. As the stock is large and consumption slow, prices must be expected , to rule low for som e ti me , and therefore, best cousult their interest by shippers would, LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS. On Monday list en excursion of the members of this igh-ly-mipecsaidessocial body took place to Rye House, 11,d,lesdon, Hertfordshire, on which occasion between seven and eight hundred ladies an I gentlemen left the Shoreditch station of the Eastern Ceunties Railway shortly after ten o'clock, and proceeded to the Rye House station, vdlere they arrived at about half past eleven. The Rye House is situated on the banks of the river Lea wiibin one hundred yards of the railway station near Hodlesdon, and is famous in English history as having been the place where a pretended conspiracy was designed, proposing to take the life of King Charles the Second. This plat was made the engine by the eor rupt Parliament of that period to Effect the judicial murder of those martyrs for freedom and liberty, Lord Russell and Algernon Sydney. The ruins of the Rye House are still in good preservation, as aro also those of Netherhall, a mansion or rather a lodge to a castle of the time of Henry the Eighth. A short distance on the banks of the river Lea, is the interesting village of Am well, where are the Shadwell Springs, the source of the New River, with the urn and tomb of Sir Hugh Middleton, that great benefactor who spent the whole of his fortune in bringing the New River water to London. After the company bad alighted from the train and reached the Bye House, the rain pouring in torrents all the time (in fact a wore day has not occurred for some years past) they proceed ed to do justice to their appe tites, but were compelk d in consequence of the bad weather to remain within doors instead of enjoying themselves in boating, angling, cricket, trap-ball, archery, &c., as they bad done on a previous occasion. In the course of the afternoon a considerable portion of the party assembled in the long room, P.S.P. Robertson, presiding chairman, and supported among others by P.P. Burgess, P.S.P. Spearing, P.P. Jaques, P.S.P. Watson, P.P. Hughes, P.S.P. Burns, l'.P. Watson, P.S.P. Bull, P.P. Studd,' P.P. Weatherly, P.P. Holder, I'.S P. W,lls, P.P. Woodman, P.l'. Shiers, P.D. Dormer, P.D. Francis, D. Wilson, P. Perry, Treasurer Payne, and P.S.P. Price, treasurer of the relief fund. The chairman, in a few appropriate words, proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen, which was received with much applause. after which he gave the health of Treasurer Price, which was well received; then followed the health of the chairman; this toast was acknowledged by Mr. Robertson, in his usual spirited style. Secretary Crawley gave a brief statement of the receipts and expenditure of the "Friend in Need" fund, for the benefit of which the excursion took place. After a few more toasts had been given, and properly resp)nded to, P.P. Dean caused a large balloon (round which were the words "Thanks to all Friends") to as cend in the air. Several excellent songs were sung by Messrs. Townsend, Perkins, Murrell, and Smart, and although the very unpropitious state of the weather, was calculated to dampen tha spirits of the party, yet they maintained their tempers to the last, arid every thing passed off extremely well. Much credit is due to Treasurer Price, P. P. Watson (No. 5), P. P. Weatherly, and P. P. Jaques, for their unremitting attention to the comforts of the company, and the assiduous attention of Mr. Chairman Robertson was beyond all pruise. The company left the spacious and beautiful gardens shortly after eight o'clock, and arrived in town between nine and ten, the rain comingsdown much faster than it did in the morning; had it been a fine day, more than 1,000 persons were expected on the excursion. DEATH OF MADAME DORVAL.—One Of the brightest luminaries of the French dramatic world is extinguished. Madame Dorval died a few days ago at the age of 51. Satisfactorily to describe an actress to those who hay° not witnessed her performance is a task difficult of accomplishment; and, unfortunately for the English public, Madame Dorval never visited London professionally. Of the general character, however, of her genius, it may be said to have been Siddonian ; and, had she been an English woman, she would unquestion ably have been a great Shaksperian actress. Though she had an honourab le suc c ess i n the French classical drama, she was in some degree cramped by its ,ant tram mels;Sh like Telma , she might have said, " I spore to grapple with ;" so that it was not till t h e adventak of the modern school that her extraordinary powers found space for their development. Th e pl ays of Victor Hugo, Alfred do Vigny, Alexandre Dumas—Chatterton, Angelo, flernani, Marion- Delo? ng l nte—abounding • pas sion, feeling, real-life emotions, furnished her wit n h con genial materials upo n w hi c h to work; whilst those pro ductions found in her an interpretress by whose aid they achieved_ an immedi a t e p o p u l ar ity. B u t by such of the English visitors to Paris as had the advantage of seeing her she will, perhaps, be best remembered in Marie- Jeanne— Mai ie-Jeanne, once seen, never to be forgotten. As a private member of society, her good humour, her unaffected manners, and a heart overflowing with kind ness, will cause her loss long to be regretted by all who enjoyed the happiness of being numbered among her friends..—Post. THE IR O N T R ADE—BIRMINGHAM , SATURDAY...-. The reduction of 11. per ton in the price of iron has been generally adopted, and it it now a pp ears that many of the masters never sold at the advanced rate resolved upon at the January quarterly meeting. Some extensive dealers are of opinion that it will be difficult to maintain even the present price, and that a further reduction may be expected at or before next quarter- day. The work people have, in most instances, with good humour ac• eepted the reduced rate of wages. The cost of the ball and offices at the Euston Station of the London and North-Western is understated at 125,0001., the interest of which, at five per cent., is 6,2501. per annum. The company must, therefore, earn more than 171. per day for every day in the year, includ ing Sundays, simply for the use of these new buildings, exc l u sive of the cost of repairs.--builder.

Her Msjesty and HAUL Prince Albert will be present to-morrow and Thursday. The rail ways offer great facilities for the journey to and from the Helth; in addition to the old route, via Slough, a new one is provided by the South-Western Company, which promises to be very extensively patronised; trains will be started in quick succession from the Waterloo bridge Station to Staines and Da•chet, the distance from each to the course being about seven miles, the road from the former, we should say, the best for travelling; convey ances in abundance will be provided at both stations to convey passengers to and from the course; the return trains will be regulated by the time at which the races terminate.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—The Derby of 1849 11 ill long be remembered by every member of that "community, republic, or club," yelept " The Ring," as one of the worst for them on record, they are losers to a man, all are hit, and many very hard too, the aristocracy, and the public being the winners ; to add to their discomfiture a Mr. W., and two or three others are missing for a trifle of some 12,0001.. which is not like to be forthcoming ; thus ends " The Flying Dutchman drama," in which some 300,000 persons of all classes have played a part. My judgment was tolerably correct on the Derby, the couple I selected nearly a year ago, running in first and third, thus mak ing me for the fifth time successively correct on the first race in the universe; I am inclined to believe that had the course been in first rate condition my prediction would have been verified to the letter, i, e., that Tadmor and The Flyer would have been first and second, and nothing else near; the half-bred Hotspur is a very good second-rate horse, but, as his future running will prove, is not within pounds of Tadmor. The Flyer, Honeycomb, and Uriel ran respectably, and will figure rather prominently in the St. Leger bet- Ling before long. The aristocratic meet on the Heath of Ascot, has a bill of fare comprising twenty-six stakes for the four days ; the ball opens on Tuesday with the Trial Stakes, which has yet to be entered for.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA. ATTACK BY SAVAGI4:S ON THE GOVERNOR, CONINIANpER FITZGERA,LD, R.N. We are indebted to a private correspondent for the following account of an attack on the Governor, %hilst on au exploring expedition. The leqer 1) dated " Peal), South Australia, January, IS-19. " We ware on an cxploring party 200 miles north of aiie, when an at:ack was mad, , upon our small party by bctwec n 60 and 70 natives, we being cnly seven, four of us on ponies and three soldiers on toot. They (pito surreuuded us, evidently in , eut upon disarming ue, sard leaving none to tell the story. They laid hold of the private secretary in the first instance, and of one of the soldiers. At this moment ours was a painful situation. The secretary, whilst being forcibly h. Id, called out to Captain Fitzgerald, the governor, It is time, Sir, that something was done.' The soldiers, also, asked if they were not to fire, before being disarmed - and trurdereo. Up to this moment no .attack was made further than holding the secretary, who, with a pistol in his hand, could have shot the man, tut prudently forbore doing so, and it was not until after a spear had been thrown at the secretary, that the order was given to fire, when one of the ringleaders was shot. This made the party re treat a few yards. which enabled us to get out of the thicket we were in to open ground, and where we got cur ammunition► out of the pecks, and had just time to reload when a volley of ep• ars cattle amongst us, one of which narrowly missed passing through the Governor's back, but lodged in his thigh just above the knee. I never saw more determi nation than on the part of these savages, for although we had reason to think that three of th...m were shot they folLwed us more than twenty miles to Champion Bay, where our colonial vessel waited us. Here the Governor had a si coed narrow escape from an instru ment called a kyley, hurled at his head, which only struck his ear. The objet in following us so far no doubt was their thinking we must pitch our tents some where in the night, when they could have speared us to Meath without our seeing where they were; as it was our escape was miraculous. Two days after this one of the natives of the north came into Perth, and said the natives that attacked us were canniLls, and wanted one of us to eat, Ite."
