" THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1849 , IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Tyrelvo o'clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the London and Black wall Railway (Amendment and Extension of Timu) Bill were considered and agreed to. THIRD READING. The Borough of Louth, and Free Grammar School in Louth Bill, was read a third time and passed. REPORTS. The reports on the following Bills were considered and agreed to: — Commercial Road (comprising the Cannon-street Roads, the Commercial Road, the Horseferry Branch of Road, the East India Dock Road, and the Barking Riad). Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company. MARYLEBONE AND FINCHLEY TURNPIKE ROAD BILL. This Bill was ordered to be re-committed on Wednes day next, in consequence of some informality. SECOND READINGS. The following Bills were read a second time and or dered to be committed:— Aberdeen Destitute Female Orphan Asylum (David.. son's) Estate. Clive's (Hon. Robert Henry) Estate. Duke of Norfolk's (Duke of Sutherland's) Estate. Hurd's Estate. Lady kirk (Robertson's). Ogle's Estate. Reynolds' Estate. Richards' (or Harman's) Estate. PETITIONS. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a petition against the endowment of Maynooth. Mr. W. PATTEN presented a petition from a place in Lancashire, praying the House to extend the power of Cuunty Courts. Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition in favour of the Railway Dissolution Bill. HARWICH ELECTION. Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from Mr. Elms ley, an attorney at Harwich, stating that an action had been brought in the Court of Queen's Bench, arising out of certain bribery transactions alleged to have taken place at the last Harwich election, and praying that the short-band writer, who attended the Harwich Election Committee, might be ordered to attend the trial of the action, which was about to take place at Cheltenham. The Hon. Gentleman moved that the prayer of the pe tition be agreed to. Mr. GREENE thought time ought to be allowed to consider the matter, as it was not usual to order the attendance of short-hand writers, or the production of their notes, at trials, and some inconvenience might arise if they did so now. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL saw no objection to the prayer of the petition. He apprehended the notes were required to check the evidence of witnesses who were to be examined upon the trial, and as their pro duction would be su ffi cient fur that purpose, without re quiring the attendance of the short-hand writer, he would suggest that the petition should be amended ac cordingly. .Mr. SPOONER, adopted the suggestion, and the peti . Lion was withdrawn. SMALL DEBTS ACT AMENDMENT (COMPEN SATION FOR OFFICES ABOLILIED). On the question for going into Committee on this Bill, Lord DUDLEY STUART objected to its principle. No doubt it contained some excellent provisions, but he protested against the principle of compensating the officers of courts for the loss of their offices, He could not understand the extraordinary tenderness of the House for the interest of lawyers. They had not rendered the country such great benefits to justify their demanding compensation whenever their interests were interfered with. In fact they bad no more right to compensation than had a road-side innkeeper whose business had been destroyed by the establishment of a railway. He thought it would be unsafe to trust the Lords of the Treasury to give compensation, for on two former occasions, when such power was given to them, they had shown great extravagance. It would be much better fer the House of Commons to fix the amount if they were to have compensation; but be should be able to show when they went into Committee that these people were not entitled to any. He must, therefore, pro test both against the principle of granting compensation and the mode in which it was proposed to he given. After a few words from the ATTORNEY- G ENE R AL, The House went into Committee, Mr. Bernal in the chair. On the first clause being proposed, Mr. OSBORNE said his Hon. Friend had taken a technical objection to the principle of compensation, but he opposed it upon a much higher ground. He maintained that the institution of this court from tke beginning was utterly illegal, inasmuch as it imposed taxation upon the people by means of fees, without the consent of Parliament. The Marshalsea Court was probably the most ancient one in the kingdom; it tollowed the King wherever he went, and administered justice between persons connected with his household. The judges of it, however, were found to exceed their do minion, and were in the habit of trying cases unconnected with the King's household, and in consequence of this various Acts were passed with reference to its jurisdic tion. In the reign of Charles 11. letters patent were granted to constitute the Palace Court; but it would be in the recollection of the Attorney• General that in the cele brated case of Fish v. Wagstaff the legality of the Court was questioned, and the judgment which it had given re versed. Under the Stuart King neither the judges, nor the officers and others connected with it, were very par- denier. During the Commonwealth the Court disconti nued its sittings, but resumed them again at the Restoration. At that time there were six attorneys and four counsel practising in the C )urt, and there were documents now in the British Museum which would prove that these gentlemen clubbed together for the purpose of inducing Lord Chancellor Hyde, by a bribe of 1,0001., to get them letters patent. Lord Chancellor Hyde pocketed the money, and succeeded in getting what they wanted, and the Court was allowed to con tinue its corrupt and villanous administration of the law. He had no doubt that but for the letters of the gentle man, known by the name of Jacob Omnium," these blood-sucking attorneys (for he would not mince the matter, and did not mean to apologise) would have gone on plundering the people as they had already done. Now, as the jurisdiction of the court ex • tended for only twelve miles round London, he could not see upon what principle of reason cr justice the people, for instance, of Yorkshire, or any other part of the county, could be called upon to pay compensation to these officers. The lawyers might as well ask for com pensation in consequence of the establishment of county least u e :des , q th u o tirte o r fflo o er f th o e f ir t b h u e sin v es a s io — oe ( courts, for he w as to ld t h at they had taken :away at 11 C e a o r u' rt he h a r ad ) already succe( ded in obtaining compensation under the Act for abolishing impri sonment f or debt. He had been told that 2.0001. had been paid by the barristers for their right to practise, but the tact was, that the actual sum required for a barrister was 2001., while only 1001. was required for an attorney. The officers of this court had been paid over and above their dues several times over. He had with him an analysis of fees and compensations paid to them, which he would just read to the House. The Knight Mar shal and Judge in 1846 received fees to the amount of 2141, 2s. 10d., he then received compensation to the amount of 60/. in cash, and an acnuity of 3061. In 1848 his income from fees amounted to 7141 The deputy in 1846 received fees in 1846, to the amount of 242/. 10s. ; in 1848 his fees had increased to 7421. The same was the case too, with the Prothonotoy and his deputy. Then with regard to the Pattomier of the court. Mr. B. E. Willoughby had received fees before the institu tion of the county courts to the amount of 8501. per annum. He then received compensation to the amount of 1,9001., and in 1848 his tees had increased to 1,5471. Mr. P. Millar, in 1846, received as compen sation 7501., and in 1848 his fees had increased from 3001. to 1,4401. per annum. Mr. Sheppard in 1845 and 1846 received 7281. per annum, his com pensation amounted to 2,1401., and is 1848 he received no less than 3,537/. in fees. Look too at the increase in the number of writs—in 1846, the number was 2,330 ; there were 409 cases tried, 9,910 of undefended causes. Why, what claim had these men, these bloodsucking attorneys—he would not mince the word. nor did he mean to apologise for it—who had so long plundered the public, what claim had they to com pensation? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that compensa tion was to be granted to them on the ground that the number of writs had gradually increased. Mr. B. OSBORNE protested against compensation at all. He should like to hear the Attorney-General's opinion of the legality of the court; compensation was sought for these lawyers because they had paid more than the regulation price for their places. Why, did not an officer often have to pay more than the regulation price for his commission, and would the House think of granting him compensation? The law was much better represented in this House than the army. Well, then, in 1848, there were 6,535 writs issued, and 1,054 cases tried. He altogether objected to the principle of re ferring this matter to the Treasury, he thought it would be much better referred to a Select Committee of the House. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was necessary that this clause should be passed, whether the question of compensation were referred to the Treasury or to a Select Committee. Mr. S. WORTLEY wished to know whether there would be an opportunity afforded of discussing this ques tion afterwards. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said there would; and on this understanding the clause was agreed to, and the House resumed. SMALL DEBTS AMENDMENT ACT. The House went into Committee on the second read. ing of this Bill. Mr. CARDWELL hoped that ho should succeed in persuading his Hon. and Learned Friend the Attorney- General to postpone :any further pr oceedin gs Bill. He objected to some of t he chang es attempted on t hisin it. A party might go and reside at Birminghamandco h n i - s con tract a debt there; as soon as h e bad exhausted credit at Birmingham he might remove to Liverpool. He (Llr. Cardwell) was entirely in favour of the dimi nttioa of costs in the county courts ; but would the costs of the case he had put be diminished if a man was compelled to follow his debtor to Liverpool? In such a case it appeared to him a defeat of justice would be likely to ensue. He had received several communica tions from gentlemen of the legal profession residing in Liverpool, stating the practical mischiefs which would result from the operation of such a Bill as that before the House. He had also received similar communications &mu the gentlemen who represent the Tradesmen's Guardian Society in that town. Believing it would be a considerable departure from the wi:Alem of the common law, and would rather tend to increase than diminish expense, he h )ped his lion:arable and Learned Friend (the A.t.t ,, rney-Gtneral) would not press the clauses in queiti4:n. . The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his sole object was to make the Act more efficient for the recovery of small debts; but if he found it was the general opinion of the members of the Committee representing mercan tile communities that those clauses had better be omitted, he was ready to abandon them. Mr. MUNTZ could quite corroborate the statement of the lion, and Learned Member for Liverpool as to the objections to this Bill among mercantile gentlemen. He had received a great number of communications on the subject, not from gentlemen of the legal profession, but from tradesmen, to all of whom it was objectionable. He therefore hoped the Hon. and Learned Attorney- General would withdraw the objectionable clauses. Mr. BROTHER 'CON was very glad to find the Attorney-General was disposed to withdraw the objec tionable clauses In Manchester (so we understood) an Act was obtained for a Small Debts Court, at an ex pense of twelve hundred pounds which expense had nut since been defrayed. That court had been of great utility; its jurisdiction erended to about 100 townships, including a population of not less than 1,000,000. A preference was often given to the court in question over the county court. Within the last two years 3,700 cases had been entered in it, and more than 2,000 of them were for sums under 101. Lord DUDLEY STUART said the clause as it stood did not abolish the court referred to by the Honourable Member for Salford; but if such courts would improve their practice they would still retain plenty of business. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it seemed to be the feeling of the Committee that he should withdraw the first five clauses, and he would do so. He would thou begin at the sixth clause. The Learned Gen tleman then went on to explain that debtors were now committed to the House of Correction, and had their hair cut, and were treated as misdemeanants, of which, as a matter of course, much complaint was made, for parties who moved in a respectable sphere of life were treated contrary to the spirit in which the Act was passed He had introduced a clause into this Bill by which those persons would be treated as debtors, and that where the gaols were too crowded and at too great a distance that provision should be made for their nearer reception.

The following are the terms in which Lord Brougham's notice appears in the Minutes of Proceed ings of the House of Lords:— The Lord Brougham and Vaux—To move to resolve, 1. That it is right and was the duty of the Govern. went to require and obtain from foreign powers satis factory explanations of those recent movements in the Italian States which tend to unsettle the existing distri bution of territory and to endanger the general peace. 2. That it is inconsistent with the general interests and duty of this country to interfere in the concerns of foreign nations, as between their Governments and their subjects. 3. That this House regrets to observe in the conduct of the Government, particularly as shown by the papers laid before Parliament, a want of friendly feeling to wards allies to whom we are bound by treaty and by mutual acts of goodwill.—[Friday, the 20th of July.] CONERVANCY OF THE THAMES AND WATERS OF MEDWAY. We recordod in our columns of Saturday the progress of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and the members of the Corporation, during an aquatic excur sion to visit the boundary of the jurisdiction of the city of London, at Leigh, in Essex, and the arrival of his Lordship and his distinguished party at Rochester on Thursday evening, where he was received on landing by the Mayor and Corporation of Rochester, and the Re corder, James Espinasse, Esq. The influx of such a number of visitors into the ancient but now very retired city of Rochester created the greatest sensation. The whole town was in coin motion, and as the hotels could not yield sufficient ac commodation beds were provided for his Lordship's guests in the houses of many of the residents, his Lord ship and the Lady Mayoress and family taking up their quarters, by invitation, at the hospitable mansion of his triend, Win. Lee, Esq., of Satis House. Shortly after ten o'clock on Friday morning the Mayor and Corporation of Rochester proceeded to the Crown Hotel, to visit the Lord Mayor. The Recorder having briefly stated the object of their visit, introduced severally the members of the corporation. The Lord Mayor expressed the gratification he felt at receiving the Mayor and Corporation of Rochester, and after a brief address invited them all to dine with him that evening, and concluded by introducing the members of the Corporation of London. At the conclusion of the visit the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, accompanied by their guests, proceeded on board the steamer, which started immediately down the Medway, and shortly after anchored opposite Cook ham Wood, near Upnor Castle, where the boundary stone is erected. The Lard Mayor and Aldermen landed, attended by the civic officers, and a procession was formed in the following order:— Police Officers. Six Watermen in state liveries, with colours. The Band. The Lord Mayor's Bargemaster in state livery, bearing the City Colours. City Marshal in uniform. The Engineer of the Thames Navigation and Port of London Committee. The Water Bailiff. The Swordbearer. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor. The Aldermen (seniors first). The Sheriffs. Six City Offieers. Watermen in nate liveries, with colours. Police Officers. Having made the circuit of the stone three times, his Lordship directed the City colours and the state sword to bo placed thereon, asserting his right to the jurisdic• Lion, as conservator of the River Thames and waters of Medway, by charter, prescription, and usage, confirmed to and enjoyed by the city of London, from time imme morial, and directed the Water Bailiff, as his sub-con servator, to have the date of his Lordship's visit duly in scribed on the stone. His Lordship then gave as a toast the ancient inscription on the boundary.stone, " God preserve the city of London." The band played the National Anthem, amidst the shouts of a large number of spectators who had assembled to witness the cere mony, and who were delighted by a distribution of wine and some coin being scattered amongst them. Those members of the corporation who had not pre viously visited this ancient boundary-stone having been duly inaugurated with the usual ceremonies, the civic party returned to the steam-vessel, which then continued its progress down the Medway. On arriving off Sheer ness the company went on board her Majesty's ship Ocean, the guard-ship, where they were received with great courtesy, the Lord Mayor's band, which accom panied them on board, playing the National Anthem and "Rule Britannia." The Lord Mayor having also visited the Wellington, the steamer returned up the Medway, and reached Rochester in time for his Lordship to re ceive his guests in the spacious reception-room of the Crown Hotel, facing the bridge. The dinner was announced to take place at six o'clock, at which hour upwards of 150 guests were seated, To the right of the Lord Mayor sat Lady Key, and on his left the Lady Mayoress; and in addition to the list of names we gave on Saturday, there were present the Members for West Kent, Thomas Law Hodges, Esq., and Sir Edmund Filmer, Bart.; G. Dodd, Esq , M.P. for Maidstone; W. M. Smith, Esq., High Sheriff for Kent; G. Essell, Esq., the Under Sheriff; the Earl of Romney; E. Twopenny, Esq.; the Rev. Dr. Irving; the Mayors of Rochester, Maidstone, and Gravesend; the Recorder of Rochester; the Town Clerks of Maid stone and Gravesend; the Aldermen and several mem bers of the Rochester Council; Capt. Baker, William Lee, Esq., H. T. Jones, Esq., Cubitt, Esq., Sir F. Smith, R.E., Brigade Major Wood, Major Smith, Lieut.- Colonel Kelly, Major Woolridge, Lieut.-Colonel MaPher• son, C. 8., Captain Price, Dr. Drummond, Lieut.-Colonel Whylock, Colonel Simpson, Captain Elliot, of her Ma jesty's ship Ocean, Captain Gordon, of ber Majesty's ship Wellington, Commander Cammelieri, of her Ma jesty's ship Poictiers, Colonel Powell, R.M., Colonel Pitcher R. M &c., &c. The dinner was of the most recherché description, em bracing all the delicacies found at the splendid enter tainments which have marked the hospitality of the pre sent mayoralty. Covers were laid for 160, and the whole of the arrangements reflect the highest credit on Mr. Wilson, the host of the Crown, who was highly complimented for the way in which the dinner had been prepared. After dinner the loving cup was passed round with the usual ceremony. On the removal of the cloth the company were called upon to charge their glasses. The LORD MAYOR then said that in the city of Lon don it always gave him the greatest pleasure on every opportunity to give the toast he had then the honour to propose. They all knew how deeply they were indebted to the navy and army; and however much he might feel gratified in the city of London in giving that toast, it was with peculiar feelings that he rose to do honour to it on the present occasion. One of the distinguished guests at that table was an officer with whom he bad been ship mate—who, however, was now reaping his reward for long, able, and gallant services rendered to his country —that officer was Captain Richards.—(Loud cheers.) fie assured the company that it was a source of the highest pleasure to him to have the opportunity of pay ing his respects to that distinguished officer. After al luding to the efficiency of the army and navy, his Lord ship said he thought that at no time were they better prepared than at present to defend the country, and con cluded, amidst great applause, by proposing the healths of " Captain Richards and the Navy, and Sir Frederick Smith and the Army," which was heartily responded to by the company. Captain RICHARDS returned thanks, but in acknow ledging the honour done him, said that he considered the compliment should have fallen to Captain Price. Sir FREDERICK SDIITI3 , in returning thanks, expressed his conviction that the army would ever be found ready when called upon to afford every possible service to their country. TheLoup MAYOR, in introducing the next toast, took occasion to explain why he bad nut blended Captain Price's name with the last toast—an honour to which he was so justly entitled. He begged to assure him of the high respect he entertained towards him, and said he had been induced to mention Captain Richards, having been a shipmate with that gentleman. His Lordship concluded by proposing, " The health of the High Sheriff of the county of Kent."—(Applause.) W. M. SmiTu, Esq., in returning thanks, assured his Lordship and the company that he deeply felt the mark of respect they had been pleased to pay him in the high office which it had been her Majesty's pleasure ho should fill. The LORD Miron said the next toast he had to pro pose was the health of a distinguished nobleman, to whom the county of Kent was under deep obligations, from the position he had formerly been called by Provi dence to fill, and as chairman of the quarter sessions, where the duties were very arduous, his services were highly valuable. He begged to propose " The health of the Earl of Romney."—(Applause.) The Earl of RoMNEY, in returning thanks for the honour done him, said with regard to his services when Member for the county, in allusion to which the Lord Mayor had kindly prefaced the toast, he assured feeling r i ed them that he felt a su ff icient reward, independ e nt of which every person in that company had so kindly towards him, by the confidence which had then been reposed reposed in him.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYON in proposing the next toast—that of " The health of the Members of Parliament who had honoured him with their company"—said they were well aware that nothing like politics was introduced at that entertainment ; as a proof of which he observed the Members for West Kent were then sitting cordially together—(Cheers)—though sitting on opposite sides in the House of Commons. He must add also, that there were no Members more entitled to their thanks for their duties in the House of Commons than Mr. Masterman and Mr. Dodd, who had favoured him with their corn pany.—Drunk with applause. Sir EDMUND FILMER briefly returned thanks, saying he would not occupy their time, as it was occupied in another place, with " words, words, and nothing else," as ho was aware they had a more pleasant room to retire to (in allusion to the ball-room). Politics, as had been said by the Lord Mayor, must be abstained from; but he must acknowledge the good feeling always shown towards him by Mr. Hodges.—(Cheers.) W. M. SMITH, Esq., said there was one tribute he felt sure they were all anxious to render—that of paying respect to the first magistrate of the first city in the world.—(Cheers.) After eulogising the high character of the Lord Mayor, and alluding to the station in life to which any man might arrive entirely by his own energy and ability, he said he knew of no Lord Mayor who had been more entitled to their respect than Sir James Duke. In the presence of that Honourable Gentl eman e s ma ure he was prevented from saying much ; but b they would blame him it he did not say etnougrhesnteosth(o): how much they were indebted to him on h , e present t, Health casion. He begged to propose,. not only of • "The Lady of the Lord Mayor," but likewise that Mayoress." 'lnv toast was received and drunk with great applause, the High Sheriff calling u pon the company to d o so with three times three cheers, with the "Kentish fi re ." The Loan MAYOR said he rose with no ordinary feel ing o f grAtiticatioa to express his acknowledgements for the honour so kindly paid to him and his sister. The Hi g h Sheriff, in proposing the toast, had referred to the staliova in lite to which, by a course of industry and energy, a man might arrive. lie felt sure he need not tell them, when he had the honour of serving on board ship with his distinguished shipmate Captain Richards, how little he expected ever to serve the office which he had now the honour to hold. He assured them he was much gra.tifi-d at the cordial reception with which he had met; he trusted that in his public station he should so conduct himself as to retire from it leaving traces of public honour and public usefulness.—(Lout cheers.) The company were next called upon to drink a bunper tolst. The LORD MAYOR, in accounting for the lateness at which the toast which he was about to propose was in troduced, said he feared, had it been given earlier, it might have been considered a signal for separation. He begged to propose the health of the Mayor aid Cor poration of Rochester. For the courtesy he had re ceived from them and the kind attention they had shown him he was gre a tly o bli ge d. Th e enterta i nment h e h a d provided for them, he hoped had given satisfaction. If it bad failed in elegance, he assured them, in all sin cerity, it had not in welcome. The toast he called upon the company to drink was—" The Mayor and Corporation of Rochester, and may it flourish for ever."—(Applause.) The MAYOR returned thanks in appropriate terms. Glasses were then charged to do honour to the toast of " The Mayor of Gravesend, and the Mayor of Maid stone," both of whom acknowledged the compliment. The Earl of RO3INEY, in proposing the next toast, said he considered he had a fair opportunity of forming an opinion of the difficulties and responsibilities their offices entailed upon them, being some% hat analogous to his own, as Chairman of the Quarter Sessions. lie al luded to " The Magistrates and Sheriffs of the city of London," as the toast he then begged to propose. The toast was received and drank with enthusiastic: cheers, and suitably acknowledged by Sir John Key and Mr. Sheriff Goodhart, the latter of whom, amidst much mirth, said, that if their duties were onerous and diffi cult, there were none so pleasing as when they came to the performance of them in the county of Kent. The LORD MAYOR shortly afterwards vacated his seat, and most of the company then hastened to the Assem bly-room, at the Bull Inn, at which his Lordship gave • ball, and thus concluded the festivities of the day. On Saturday morning, shortly after ten o'clock, the Lord and Lady Mayoress and their gues t s , embarked on board the Meteor, and proceeded down the Medway to Sheerness. On nearing the Ocean, Captain Elliot paid a short visit to the Lord Mayor, and the steamer then proceeded to Greenhithe. The Lord Mayor and his guests having bees invited by Mr. Harmer to visit Ingress Abbey on their return,the whole party disembarked at the pier under a salute from a small battery on Mr. Harmer's lawn, and proceeded at once to view his house and the delightful grounds by which it is surrounded. After making some stay they returned to dine on board, accompanied by Mr. Harmer, who proceeded as far as Erith with the civic party. The Meteor then proceeded towards London, and reached London-bridge between seven and eight o'clock, con cluding a most delightful excursion of three days with out the slightest accident. It would be injustice to the Lord Mayor and to those gentlemen who undertook the management of this excur sion, if we did not state that their arduous duties were performed with the greatest ability, and that by no other persons could such complicated and extensive arrange ments have been carried out so fully to the satisfaction and comfort of every one present. A TEMPERANCE SONG. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) " Be ye aober."—Sr. PETER. Who shall talk of strength and freedom, With a loud and fever'd breath, While they let a full cup lead 'em To the slavery of death ? Men of labour, wake to thinking, Shout not with a reeling brain! Lips that argue o'er deep drinking Ever yield more chaff than grain. Bravery that needs inspiring By the grape and barley corn, Only gives the random firing, Cunning foes may laugh to scorn. Do ye hope to march the faster To the summit of your claims; While ye let such tyrant master Strike your limbs in staggering shame ? Do ye find the hot libation Poured so wildly on the heart, Make it fitter for its station, Whatsoe'er may be its part? Father, husband, wife, or mother! Can ye do the work ye should While the fumes of madness smother Human love and human good? Wonder not that children trample All fair precept in the dust, When a parent's foul example Robs a home of peace and trust. Who shall reckon all the anguish Who shall dream of all the sin, Who shall tell the souls that languish At the spectre shrine of Gin? Never shall we find a surer Portal to the beams and cell, Where the poor becometh poorer, Where earth seems akin to hell. God sent all things for our pleasure, Food for man and food for beast. Say, which takes the surfeit measure, At the board of Nature's feast? God sent all things for our using, Meat, and malt, and oil, and wine. Woe attends our rash abusing Heaven's merciful design. Prize the boon we are possessing, But mark well the holy verse. Take enough, it is a blessing;— Take too much, it proves a curse. " Be ye sober !" they who struggle For the better lot below, Must not let the full cup juggle Soul and body into woe. " Be ye sober!" if ye covet Healthy days and peaceful nights. Strong drink warpath those whe love it Into sad and fearful sights. "Be ye sober!" cheeks grow haggard, Eyes turn dim, and pulse tide blood Runs too fast, or crawleth laggard When there's poison in the flood. Will ye let a demon bind ye In the chain of Helot thrall! Will ye let the /Ist hour find ye In the lowest pit of all? Oh ! stand back in godly terror, When Temptation's joys begin; 'Tis such wily maze of Error, Few get out who once get in. Shun the " dram " that can but darken, When its vapour gleam has fled. Reason says, and ye must hearken, "Lessened drink brings doubled bread." Though your rulers may neglect ye, " Be ye sober !" in your strength; And they must and shall respect ye, And the light shall dawn at length. But let none cry out for Freedom, With a loud and fevered breath, While they let a full cup lead 'em To the slavery of death. ELIZA COOL LO URT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, SATURDAY.

Tho prayers were read by the Rev. J. Haden, end .s., a IQ ers . mon was preached by the HOB. VV, cape!. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Once more I've plunged into the "gulf of futurity," and now emerge therefrom "cramm'd With observation—the which I'll vent In mingled fancies." I, unlike my half-dozen Tiresian contemporaries, who rarely publish their vaticinations until within a few days of the race or races coming off, do not keep my " coun sel " closed up " within the book and volume of my brain," but, contrary wise, - take time by the forelock, and give the readers of The Suss the benefit of my judgment at least a month, and occasionally three, six, and twelve months beforehand; now this being the case, without any further prelude, as according to an indisputable au thority " brevity is the soul of wit," and I know sporting men consider it to be the " soul of business," at least in prophecies, and the ring—l will at once rush in medics res, and attempt to anticipate the destinies of the most important stakes of the Goodwood, York, and Doncaster meetings of this year, the Derbys of 1850 and 1851; and, as "foal books" on the Derby of 1852 are coming into fashion, will conclude by throwing out a few hints on that race; but with regard to this last mentioned stake, for which the nominations will not close until the Newmarket July meeting of next year, I would advise you, in Lady Flora Hastings' words, to - -• " Consider what you venture, weigh discreetly The dangers of your project." Goodwood, that El Dorado or California of the turfite, where " one wek makes him rich for all the year," claims my first attention; the four days have no less than thirty-tour events on the list, value about 18,0001.; and, with one or two exceptions, all the crack nags of the day are engaged, including my three-year old " Standard," of quadrupedal excellence, the but once, and accidentally, vauquisued sun of lon and Palmyra, Tadmor, who will, bar accidents, canter home from Belus, Rochester, Indus, and the Duke of Richmond's filly, for the Gratwicke Stakes, without distressing him self ; by which motion Colonel Peel will pocket some 2,350 soya., and should he run second with Indus, 2001. more. _ _ _ _ The great 300 Sovs. Stakes never had a more trashy lot entered for it than it has this year, only one being sound, and he nothing to boast of ; I presume the starters will be, Glen Saddel, Loadstone, Nil Desperan• dum, and Backbiter; and if Loadstone's legs will allow him to cover nearly three miles and three quarters with out breaking down, I should trust him in preference to Glen Saddel or Backbiter—but more anon. The 11am Stakes, won in 1844 by Refraction (winner of the Oaks in 1845), in 1845 by Epirote, in 1846 by Lady Cecilia, in 1847 by Surplice (winner of the Derby), and in 1848 by Colonel Peel's Tadmor, has always pro duced an aspiring candidate for Derby or Oaks honours, and in three instances—Epirote, Surplice, and Tadmor —three tremendous " pots" for the former race. This year will be no exception to the rule, Colonel Peel being in great force with his Derby nags, Longinus (hail brother to Tadmor) and Hardiuge; Sir Joseph Hawley with the first favourite for the OAks, Tingle; and Mr. Meiklam with The Italian, sullies+ hile premier favourite for the Epsom struggle. In addition to the above four, ►zany of the following will be found at the post, viz.:— The Curate, Stingo, Claymore or Ploughshare, Cross bow or Little Isaac, Cora, Probity or Mayors, Gleam, and the Lollypop filly. The race for the Drawing-room Stakes is reduced to a mere question of " staying " between Uriel, Borneo, Indus, and the Highland Fling; the distance is nearly two miles and a quarter, a little too far for Uriel, yet I think he will just contrive to pull through. The Racing Stakes look well for Honeycomb; and the Nassau, for Lady Evelyn; the Molecomb will tall to the lot of the Goodwood Stable; and the 50 sovs. Stakes to Tadmor. _ _ _ _ For the Goodwood Stakes I consider Chanticleer, Collingwood, Surplice, Limestone, Inheritress, Plaudit, Antagonist, Projectile. Maid of Lyme, Giselle, Hagley, %V) ke, Vaurien, Abbot of Meaux, Sauter le Coupe, Le gerdemain, and Over-cork-over, to be by weight, or s o Th t a h or e ut r ald w r, is s7 e es , lte.c a t l 7 r i e tb a h. d e; y disposed of; from the remainder I I M te a m id em o b f ran M c a e sh 6 a s in t ' 9lb 7s - L St. 9lb. ; Antonio, l'he 6st. 711).; Priestess, sst. 311).; and Syr . up 911) •as the 1 o c le most an dliistivye discover o nothing furnish t t h h a e t winner.stands a e t :h o tn d ee c of .

York stands forth in a flourishing condition this year, with its Ebor Sr. Le;:er, Yorkshire Oaks, Ebor Handicap, and Great Yorkshire Stakes. For the Ebor St. Leger, two miles, the following among others, stand engaged : Elthiron, Loup-garou, Drakelow, Honey comb, Vasa, and Stanton; Lord .Egltnton will, I opine, be lucky enough to pocket this stake. The Yorkshire Oaks may possibly fall to the lot of Mr. Green, with Lady Superior. The Great Yorkshire Stakes have the following cele brities among the entries :—Old Dan Tucker, Drakelow, Belus, Hotspur, Vatican, Vanguard, Honeycomb, Nunnykirk, Uriel, and Escalade. This stake will go into Scott's stable by the aid of Nunnykirk or Uriel. The Ebor Handicap, with an acceptance of forty-one, will as usual be a bad betting race; The Hero, 9st 41b; Shylock, 7st Mb; Melton, 7st; Blucher, 7st; Glen Saddel, Est 71b; Remembrance, 6st 71b; St. Antonio, 6st 71b; Westow, sst 81b; The Knout, sst 41b; and Castanette, sst 31b, are the most favourably weighted. Mahon and Blucher for choice. The Doncaster St. Leger, at the present moment, seems to be a certainty for the Flying Dwebinan, yet I am inclined to think that Lady Superior, Uriel, Nunny kirk, Volcano, and Honeycomb, have each a very re spectable outside chance. The Derby of 1850 will in my opinion fall to the lot of one of the following:—Pontifex, Witchcraft, The Italian, Sweetheart, Hardinge, Compass, Decoy colt, Windhound, and Pitsford; the first and last for choice. For the Derby of 1851, Newminster, Pantalonade colt, Storm, Croupier, Bonnie Dundee, and Lamartine, have the largest share of attraction for me. Among the foals of 1849, that are likely to be entered for the Derby of 1852, are the undermentioned:—Colt by Birdcatcher, out of Forget-me-Not; a superior colt by Faugh-a-Ballagh, out of Sister to Sir Ralph; a fine colt by Touchstone, out of Gulhanee; a large lengthy colt by Birdcatcher, out of Beeswing; a strong colt by Lanercost, out of Alice Hawthorn; a colt by Lanercost, out of Valentine; a colt by Fancy Boy, out of Modesty; a colt by Birdcatcher, out of Blue Bonnet; and a re markably promising colt called Peppermint, born on the Ist of April, by Sweetmeat. out of Pantalonade. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. July 14, 1849. An evening contemporary is not quite correct in fixing upon the 2d of August as the likely day for the prorogation of Parliament. Owing to the obstruction on the vote for thou Ordnance Estimates, and other similar waste of the time of the House of Commons, the session will not close before the 7th, or perhaps, the 9th of August, the former being the more probable day. It is not expected that the Queen will prorogue the Parlia [aunt in person.—Observer.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND EXTENSIVE INCEN DIARIS3I.—STONY STRATFORD, SATURDAY.—This town nas, during the present w e ek, be e n th e scene of much excitement, in consequence of the following very serious occurrences:—On the night of Monday the premises of .Ir. Nixon, a printer in the town, were discovered to be flames. The assistance of the nei g hbo u r s was imme diately obtained, and by great exertions the fire was got out, but not until upwards of 1001. damage was done. Before the fire was extinguished two other fires were found to be raging in the immediate vicinity of the town, and for want of the necessary assistance in time the premises were destroyed. The fact of three fires occurring almost simultaneously, naturally caused much alarm and anxiety as to the cause, but no other conclu • sion could be come to than that they were the act of a vile incendiary or of a maniac. On the following day, as Mr. Nixon was standing at his shop, at midday, he was tired at deliberately by a miscreant armed with a fow ling-piece, the contents of which consisted of large-Bused ,hot, which entered Mr. Nixon's neck. Strange to say, that whilst the wounded man was being attended to, the attempted murderer entered the shop and strove to set fire to the contents; but was seised in the act, and after considerable resistance was secured. On Wednesday tie was removed by Mr. Henderson, superintendent of the local police, for examination before the bench of magistrates of Newport Pagnell, where he gave the ame of James Arnold. A certificate that Mr. Nixon was in too dangerous a state to attend to give evidence being produced, the prisoner was remanded until Friday last, when he was taken before the magistrates in this 'own, and again remanded on account of the continued iangerous illness of Mr. Nixon. It has been ascer tained that the prisoner is related to that individual by marriage, and for some time past has exhibited much animosity against him without any known motive. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)—A convention has just been concluded with Minister Bruck, Baron Ward, and Count Volo, for the regulation of the free naviga tion of the Po. Obstacles which could never be removed iefore, by the Parmesan and ,Modenese states having an interest in the transit of goods which passed their lominions, so that vessels were detained, from the con aline' visits they had to submit themselves to, several lays in each voyage. Minister Bruck, being a coin. mtrcial man, no one better than he could appreciate the necessity of such commercial reforms. We are informed no intends to introduce the stamp system for letter, '.hroughout Austria, comprising the minor Italian states in his project. Much may be expected from the en lightened intelligence of this gentleman should he, as we hope he will, remain long in office.—Morning Herald.
