- - - - SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES.---!Tuesoev. Fair weather and the Quictil To crowd the Heath abundantly with human beings, seeking pleasurable sights and sensations, we back them against - all and every thing. What though an the Greeks from the_ Levant were " bogged" up to the ears in turf defalcations—what does that signify to the merry multitude whom the summer, the sun, and the struggling strides of noble studs call from their homes to enjoyment beneath a blue sky, relieved and fringed here and there by passing and pelucid clouds ? In writing lately about the Epsom races, we deprecated the practice of betting without assets, and said, what has since been repeated by our contemporaries, that no man of honour or of honesty ought to bet even a pound, if he had not wherewith to pay it directly it was lost. A very judicious sporting writer has designated the man that would do so " a vagabond and a swindler." What, then, are we to call the man who bets 18,000/., knowing that he cannot pay, should he lose ? What are we to call the troop of de faulters on the Derby to the tiny tune of somewhat about 80,0001. ? " Vagabonds and swindlers ?" Be it so. We feel convinced that it all these turf speculations ceased— f the backing one horse to win, and the other, though the better animal, to lose; if this tampering with jockies and trainers ; if these declarations to win with such and such a horse, were done away with, that horse racing, as a grand national amusement, would become far more popular than it has hitherto been. The public woald then have more confidence, and would bet, accord ing to their means, extensively upon horses avowed to be good ones, when they saw that their owners were more actuated by honourable ambition than those devoured by the sacra auri fames —a cursed appetite to get gold by all methods, foul as well as fair. On reflection, we do think that the racing prizes should not, generally speaking, be large sums of money, but rather splendid vases and cups, their intrinsic value being, heightened a hundred fold by the hands of some modern Ben venuto Cellini. Such rewards to the breeder of the race-horse swiftest of foot, would be family heir-looms, ever emitting plea sant, if not proud, recollections, anti it would be no vain-glo rious boast to the descendant of the winner of the Ascot N ase or Cop to point to it with satisfaction, saying of his fortunate ancestor, as the greatest of all poets said of the bravest of all princely warriors, he was "a tamer of horses." At precisely a quarter to one o'clock the approach in the distance of her Majesty was signalled, and in another two or three minutes more the Royal Cortege entered upon the Heath and progressed at a slow trot up the race course. Immediately the scarlet liveries of the cavalcade and the outriders, headed by Lord Rosslyn, the Noble Master of the Buck Hounds, were seen, the side of the Course became thronged. and as soon as her Majesty came within hearing, she was hailed by them with loud and continued affectionate acclamations, " Exoritur clamorque virum, clangorque tubarum." At this time the bal cony of the Grand Stand presented an animated assemblage of beauty, and on the sloping sward beneath it thickly thronged the elite of the male population of this country. When her Majesty's carriage came opposite to them, every hat was in the air, and every lady's handkerchief was agitated on high —these glad gestures being accorapanied with chanticleer cries of exultation. That they touched her Majesty's generous heart and that of her princely Consort, was evident from the some thing more than courtesy with which they were acknowledged. Reflecting on her Majesty's two escapes from assassination by " that Divinity" which we fondly hope shall ever " hedge a Queen," and seeing those who stood before her Majesty— the chivalry of her kingdom—we may, with very little poetical cense, exclaim— " Then, had her eye in sorrow wept, A thousand warriors forth had leaped; A thousand swords had sheathless shone, And made her quarrel all their own." When the Queen and Prince Albert appeared at the window; of the Royal Stand, a vast concourse of all classes assembled in front, and the dignified obeisances of the Royal couple were loyally and ,gratefully acknowledged, by strong and sponta neous cheering. The Royal cortege consisted of seven open carriages and two pony phaetons and four each, whirled along by four beautiful animals. In the first, with her Majesty, were his Royal High ness Prince Albert, and his Excellency Count Menstiorff ; in the others were the Counts Alphonso, Hugo, Alexander, and Arthur Mensdorff, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh, Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Count and Countess St. Aulaire, Marquis of Exeter, Marquis of Normanby, Earl of Liverpool, Earl Delawarr, Earl Jersey, Earl of Aberdeen, Lord and Lady Wharncliffe, Lord and Lady Portman, Countess of Rosslyn, Earl of Morton, Lord Charles Wellesley, H o n. Mr. and Mrs. Anson, Hon. C. Murray, Sir E. Bowater, Sir H. Wheatley, and Captain Meynell. The weather was delightful ; a north-east and invigorating breeze blew across the course from end to end, so that no one could complain of being oppressed by the warm breath of June. The course was not crowded, but the company was exceed ugly select. Immediately after the race for the Gold Vase, her Majesty and suite departed in the same order as they arrived. The farewell, until Thursday, that followed her Majesty was most cordiil. Her Majesty looked well, and her attire was thoroughly simpler munditus. Besides the distinguished persons that formed the Royal party, we noticed the following members of the beau monde : Duke of Beaufort, Marquis of Clanricarde, Marquis of W. st minster, Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, Lords Stan ley, Chesterfield ; Viscounts Wilton, G. Bentinck, Ma cdonald, \V. Lennox, J. Fitzroy, Sefton, March, E. Russell, Leveson, Cardigan, Hillsborough, Errol, Paget, Drumlanrig, Villiers, Strathaven, S. Osborne, W. Paulett, Cantilupe.

Goodrieke, W. W. Wynne. Colonels — Peel and Chaloner. Messrs.—T. A. Smith, Irby,. 'Hawker, Portman, Brand, Greville, Payne, Newton, Shelley, Batson, .1. Stanley, &c. &c. The races were originally advertised to commence at halt past one o'clock, but in consequence of the number of horses that had arrived on Saturday, they were brought forward half an hour. By this arrangement they should have tatrminated at half-past four ; instead of this, notwithstanding one of them came to a walk over, it was near six before the Ascot Derby was run. This delay compels us to be brief in our notice of the running. The first race was The Trial Plate of 501., added to a Sweepstakes or 5 SOW. each ; for two yrs old, a feather; three, 7st 411t6 ; four, 131 b ; five, six, and aged, 9st 41b. The New mile. (7 Subs.)

Betting-5 to 4 agst Satirist and 6to 4 agst Meal. The running was made at a slow pace by Meal, Lasso and Rapture lying up with her, and Satirist in the rear ; they ran n this order to the road, where the speed mended, hart with out affecting the front rank, which continued as we have de scribed It to the distance, where Satirist headed his horses, went on with the running, and won in a canter, by two lengths. Rover passed Lasso half up the distance, and obtained a very bad third place. Sweepstakes of 200 sovs. each, h. ft. ; colts Bst. 710 h. ; and fillies Rst. 41b. 31b. and 51b. allowed, &c.

Firebrand made all the running at a moderate pace, the favourite lying off up to the distance, where he reached her quarters ; at the stand he went to the mare's head, staid with liar to the last, and won on the post by a neck, easy.

The first running was made by I-am-not-aware and Mosque, right and left of whom, and well laid up, were Rhodanthe, Snowdrop, Tamburini, E 0, and William de Fortibus; be hind them Una and Revoke, and, three or four lengths in the ear of all, tlyllus and Vibration. At a good, but not superior i Ntice, the po , ition continued as we have described to the top ; u ,-n, where Rhodanthe took the lead from 1-am-not-aware, and :wade strong play to the turn for straight running, by which time Snowdrop, I-am-not-aware, Revoke, and Mosque, had had enough of it. Hytius and Vibration, who had been creep ing up from the Old Mile post, now showed in front. headed Rhodatithe at the distance, and finished the race, Vibraticn winning easy by a length. Tamburini was a bad third, Rho clanthe fourth, and I-am-not-aware fifth. The Gold Vase, given by her Majesty, added to a Sweep stake3 of 20 sovs. each, for three yrs, 7st.

Rosalind made play at a steady pace, followed by, Bee's-wing, two lengths behind whom was St. Francis; The Nob lying fourth, and Jack fifth. No change worthy of notice took 'place until they reached the last turn, where St. Francis took up the running, Bee's-wing ,being second , Rosalind third, and he Nob fourth ; they ran l ' itus to the stand, where The Nob passed Rosalind, and a splendid race ensued, St. Francis winning on the post by a head, and The Nob beating the old mare by half a neck; Rosa lind was a respectable fourth.

Sir ROBERT PEEL is the Atlas upon whose shoulders rest the entire weight of the Government. His nominal colleagues can do nothing without him, and when he happens not to be in his place in the House of Commons, which is but seldom, that House presents more the ap pearance of a village school in the absence of the school master, than a grave Legislative Assembly deliberating upon the affiiirs of a great nation. The Right Hon. Baronet dined at the Palace yesterday, and his friends, taking advantage of his absence, got up an enter tainment for the evening, the account of which cannot but delight and edify the country. Mr. CHARLES BULLER quoted the old proverb, When the cat's away, the mice will play ; " and the House, acting upon it, exhibited a scene of up roar, which was kept up with great spirit till one o'clock this morning. The House of Commons' bal costume — for Mr. COBDEN tells us the figurantes appeared in white waistcoats and white neckcloths—was opened by that pink of veracity and discretion, Mr. FERRAND, and Dr. BOWRING, and was continued by Lord HOWICK, Lord STANLEY, Mr. T. F. BARING, Mr. WALLACE, Colonel PEEL, Mr. C. BULLER, Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. HUME. Mr. FERRAND, it ap pears, a gentleman of extensive foreign travel, for he told the House last night that he had been as far abroad as Switzerland. There he had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of the Mayor of some little town in some small canton, who asked him to dinner ; and, among other funny after-dinner stories, told him that when Dr. BowaiNG was collecting commercial in formation in that country, he refused to receive evidence opposed to his free-trade theories. The Hon. Member for Bolton, with great simplicity, and Lord HOWICK, with still greater, called hastily for the name of thi, " high and mighty" Swiss Mayor, who had been giving dinners to, and bandying badinage with, the lion. Member for Knaresborough, or as its representative will soon baptize it, Knavesborough. The story being the coinage of the fertile brain of the Parliamentary story-teller, no name, of course, was given. It was manufactured to slander a private man in his private and personal character, and an explanation was refused, on the dig nified ground of shielding from the fury of the ireful Member for Bolton, one of the most poetical of the off spring of Mr. FERRAND'S teeming imagination—the dinner-giving Mayor of a certain town, in a certain canton of Switzerland. Pity Mr. FERRAND'S travels did not extend to Africa, as then he could have named ABD-EL-KADER as his informant, and let Dr. Bow- RING make the most of it. Lord STANLEY spoke as if he were annoyed at the un founded charge made by Mr. FERRAND against the cha racter of Dr. BOWRING, but in reality he was well pleased with it. The Members of the Government ' could not appear to be idle, and they knew that it was their master Sir ROBERT PEEL'S pleasure that they should not proceed with the tariff in his absence. Mr. FERRAND as usual was thrust forward to make a diver sion to distract the attention of the House from the im potency of Ministers. Their supporters were glad of a night's sport, and cheered as lustily as if they believed every word uttered by the Harlequin of the agricultu rists. The grave mood in which Dr. BowitlNG re pelled the charge, was perhaps excusable in him, but Lord HowicK's disrelish of so good a joke rather annoys us. Instead of gravely reprimanding Mr. FERRAND forin venting spicy personal anecdotes for the amusement of the House, the Liberals ought to join the Tories in the more sensible course of laughing at them. The Punch performances in Parliament, are as well worth laugh ing at as the Punch and Judy exhibitions in Seven-Dials. The leading performers in both have a predilection for mingling mischief with mirth ; but in extenuation of this cruel practice, it may be pleaded that the blows of one of them never take effezt, and that the other cracks only wooden sconces. Of the two we think the Parliamen tary Punch by far the more amusing, because he is always varying his performances. The French Journals of Monday devote their columns to comments upon the news brought by the Overland Mail from India. In general they take the same view as, or rather they borrow their views from, the London Journals. " A letter from Algiers, May 30, in the Commerce, says— We are without news from the army. Whilst it is march ing in the mountains, our mowers in the plains are frequently exposed to attacks from the Arabs, and it is impossible to go from Algiers to our nearest camps without a powerful es cort. This shows clearly that we have made no real progress, and that we have not solved the problem of security even at our own gates. On the evening of the 27th, great sensation was created here by the visit of the police to the shop of Messrs. Brachet and Bastide, booksellers, where there was posted a placard announcing the publication of a work entitled—"L'Al gerie prise au serieux," with the addition of the words " The destructian of an Arab costs us 33 men and 15,000 francs." This placard was instantly torn down by the police. Theaffair of the persons charged with fraud in the supply of the hospitals, &c., has been just concluded. Two employees have been found guilty, and condemned to five years' imprisonment. - • t•, The following letter from Tlemcen, 14th ult., is given by the Constitutionnel:—'• The Emir is at his. last shift—all the money he lavishes can only procure him a few raw soldiers. Our contingents, on the contrary . present a striking contrast, and there is reason to apprehend a conflict of jealousy among the chiefs is ho join us. Zinn, the chief of the Beni Amers, who marches with as at the head of 1,000 horsy, is a rival of old Mustapha, who shows a resolution to maintain the position of supreme commander of the allies, in which we have placed Him. Zinn pretends that he has submitted to the French alone, and will not acknowledge the General of the Douairs and Smelas in any other character than as a friend and fellow counsellor. General Bugeaud, to prevent any collision, keeps Mustapha Ben Ismael with him to assist him on his grand expedition, and leaves Zinn with the corps acting in the west. The light troops of Abd-el-Kader no longer. approach I our outposts and fire upon them. At Oued Bommida some of his regulars got surrounded by the Beni Amers, and his Bachi-Schidough was taken prisoner. Abd-el-Kader himself was, on the 4th, encamped on the plain of Angad in front of the small Morocco town of Ahonda. General Bedeau went to reconnoitre his position with half a' column. At' the point,. where the mountain touches the plain, he found 2,000 Norse • drawn up in order of battle, protected by a deep ravine. They were all Moroccomen whom the Emir had induced to make this demonstration ; but, as they showed no disposition to come to action, the General would not attack them. We march to-morrow for the frontier of Morocco." BOURSE-PARIS, MONDAY, JUNE 6. First Highest Lowest Last i• Price Price. Prici.

We are enabled, on the most undoubted authority, to contradict the rumours recently circulated relative to the alleged existence of a misunderstanding between this country and France. No unfriendly or unpleasant official intercourse or correspondence has taken place between I the Cabinets of the two countries.—Morning Herald. CONTESTED ELECTIONS.—Mr. IL S. Smith, of Leeds, has published a second edition. of " The Register of Parliamentary contested Elections," containing also the uncontested elections since 1830. This return of elec tions extends as far back as 1700. In a great portion of the numerous contests he has distinguished the split votes from the plumpers, given the colours of the diffe rent parties, and the number of registered voters at each election since the Reform Bill came into opera tion. Some of the returns under the old borough mongering. system have a singular appearance. The number of electors for the city of Edinburgh for instance, containing a population of 160,000, was in 1820 only 28, for the county 128 ; and after the franchise was ex- I tended, they numbered respectively 6,048 and 1,249. Mr. Pitt stood - for Cambridge University first in 1780, when he was defeated, being at the bottom of the poll, but in 1784 he was returned at the head, having re ceived 351 votes, and represented the University till his death. The plan altogether is excellent, and the work forms the most complete record of Parliamentary elec• tions we have seen. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Money is easy at four per cent. The confusion and annoyance occasioned by the proclamation regarding light sovereigns has materially increased. Private bankers now weigh each piece of coin separately, and not en masse as was formerly . the case, and the collecting clerks are furnished with a pair of scales, in order that no money below the specified weight may be taken. Thus far it is merely an hindrance to business, but several instances have oc curs ed of serious loss ; one party, upon exam ing his banker's book discovered that nearly 30s. had been deducted for deficiency in the weight of between two and three hundred sovereigns, which had been paid in the day previously, and many others have oc curred in which a large portion of those tendered had been re turned. It is urged that the Government should adopt some method by which these inconveniences may be removed, since, although they now chiefly fall on the merchant and banker, in a short time they will reach the small tradesmen, who are little able to afford the loss of time or money which must be sustained.

SUM ',ARY OF fiEt4/31 AND pubitc Cnuton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The session of the French Chamber of Deputies is now vir tually at an end, and it is expected that the labours of the Chamber of Peers will terminate in the course of a few days. Several of the journals state that the Chambers will be for mally closed on the 13th, that the ordonnance of dissolution will be published on the 14th, and the general election take place on the 9th of July. By Art. 42 of the Charter, the new Chambers must meet within three months of the date of the ordonnance of dissolution. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours arrived at Brussels on Saturday afternoon. A grand dilater was given in honour of their visit. • The Franc Parleur of Verdun says:--" The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours are ex pected to be at Luxembourg on the Bth or 9th inst. They will return direct by Longuy and Verdun, without visiting Metz. They are expected at Verdun on the 15th or 16th. Their review of the troops will be very short, as they do ri,,t come as Inspecting Generals, but as Princes of the Blood Royal." A letter from Philippeville, May '24, in the Semaphore of Marseilles, states that the column under the orders of Comman dant Montauban, consisting of 500 infantry and 114 cavalry, defeated, on the 21st, a body of 4,000 Bedouins, who had attacked the camp of El-Elarouche on the road to Constant ina. 300 of the Arabs were ki led, but the French had only an officer and sergeant slightly wounded. A letter from Algiers, in the Toulonnais, states that the 83 prisoners of Abd-el-Kader are indebted for their liberation to a Corsican, who hus been a spy of all parties, and who used his influence with Abd-el-Kader on this occasion, in the hope of re-entering the good graces of the French Government, with the understanding, however, that he was to be 1 . .a:.d 100,000 f. for his exertions. The Madrid Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes the Royal Ordonnance, promulgating the law authorising the emission of 160 millions of reals, Treasury Bills. This decree was coun tersigned by the New illinister of Finance, Senor Don Antonio Maria del Valle. A second decree appoints the Commission charged to examine the propositions of capitalists respecting the payment of the interest of the Three per Cent. debt. The Swabian Mercury states that the King of Prussia, after the military parades and manoeuvres of the autumn, will set out for Russia, accompanied by the Prince Royal. The King's second son:Prince Charles, will be charged with the Government during hisabsenca, which willlast only three weeks. A Smyrna letter of the 19th ult. says :—" The Archipelago is swarming with pirates. Not long ago an Austrian sloop captured a large three-mast Greek vessel engaged in maraud ing, and a few days since a French brig of war on this station went out on a cruise, in consequence of intelligence that a merchantman bound for Marseilles with a cargo of oil, and 200,000 piastres, had been stopped by pirates." PAWL, TAM kail" TARY. In the House of Lords Lord K.nnaird inquired of the Duke of Wellington to whom was to be entrusted the funds collected under the Queen's Letter ? The Duke, after making an apo logy for not being aware of the fact the day before, replied, the ,‘ Manufacturing Distress Relief Committee," which has been in existence since 1825. The Earl of Radnor alluded to the statement that public money had on several occasions been advanced to relieve public distress, and moved for a return of all such gifts, and on what places they had been bestowed. The Lords did nothing further except routine business, and at an early hour adjourned till Thursday. In the Commons Mr. M. Gibson presented a petition from liishmen in Manchester, who complained that when they applied for relief they were passed on to Dublin, and from Dublin they were passed back to Manchester, so that they had been sent backwards and forwards six times. Sir R. Inglis read a letter he had received from Sir William Gossett, the Sergeant-at-Arms, whose conduct had been com plained of the night before by Mr. Mackenzie. The Hon. Member for Peebleshire said the Sergeant shut him out of the House when he was in time for the division, and treated him rudely. 'f he Sergeant in the letter defended himself. Mr. M. Attwood justified the Sergeant's conduct, and proved that. Mr. Mackenzie had behaved improperly. For one part of his con duct, refusing to go out of the lobby, the Hon. Member apolo gised. but insisted that the Sergeant had treated him rudely. Sir J. Graham spoke a few words in faveur of the Sergeant, who had difficult and delicate duties to perform, and so the Hon. Member was obliged to putup with what he thought rude treatment. _ Lord Ashley obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate labour in mines, and was warmly and cordially supported by all sides of the House. The tariff occupied the remainder of the evening. The duty proposed by the Ministers on boots and shoes, 12s. per dozen pairs, was objected to by Mr. G. Palmer, who wished to sub stitute for it a duty of 205., but ca a division, the Ministerial proposition was carried by 148 to 36. 'I he Committee got as far with the tariff as the duty on In. dian muslins, when Mr. Ferrand effectually 'put a stop to fur ther progress, by bringing a charge against Dr. Bowring, which gave rise to a very personal discuss►on that occupied the House till Half-past One o'Cloelr. PUIILXC XVIPROVIIINIENTS. It is proposed, that as her Majesty has granted a tract of ground tui orm a park in the east of London, it would add to the further enjoyment and comfort of the inhabitants if public baths were attached to it; the Regent's and Sir George Duckett's Canals afford every facility for an abundant supply of water. ECCVSSIASTICAL The Oxford Convocation, consisting of the Hampden and Puscyite . parties, assemblei yesterday, for the decision of the question in agitation. The numbers were for the repeal of the statute of 1836, 219; against it, 334—majority for non repeal of the statute, 115. THE SUN', LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 8, 1842. '73 YATES/AE.lr AND SCIENTIFIC. Dr. Buckland, the geologist, at his last lecture, informed his audience that he considered the Box-tunnel, as well as se. veral others, to he in a dangerous state, and that if they were not arched with mason-work throughout, he was certain that at some . period, not far distant, a serious fall will take place. Captain Basil Hall, with the ladies and children of his family, have completed their tour to Thebes, Syria, the River Jordan, and the Red Sea, and are now proceeding to Greece and Con stantinople. E LECTIONEER.ING. The nomination for Newcastle-under-Lyme is expected to take place next Monday. Mr. Harris, it is thought, will be the Liberal candidate, and Mr. Colquhoun the Conservative. SPOATIZiG. The cricket match between the Marylebone Club and the University of Cambridge, which has excited so much interest, was decided in Lord's Ground yesterday in favour of the Mary lebone players, by their winning the match in one innings, and with forty-three runs to spare. The enclosure, both on Mon day and Tuesday, was crowded with IsJoblemen and Gentlemen who seemed highly delighted with the game. The Earl of Verulam's thorough-bred stock ; Lord Maid stone's stud of 20 valuable hunters, well known in Leicester shire and Warwickshire; and the Duke of Grafton's stud of 30 hunters, were all sold at Tattersall's last Monday. THEATRICAL. Madame•Leplus, the actress, better known in this country as the lively and celebrated Jenny Colon, died in Paris last Sun day, at her residence, Rte Neuve des Mathurins. COURT—TA.SHIONABLE. The birthday of the Duke of Devonshire was celebrated on Monday last. The Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire left town on Monday last for Easthampton Park, Berks, where the Noble Marquis receives a large party during Ascot Races. Sir Robert and Lady Peel left Whitehall.gardens yesterday on a visit to her Majesty, at Wind so r Castle. We understand the preliminaries are already arranged for a marriage between Lady Mildred Cecil, eldest daughter of the Marquis of Salisbury, and Mr. Alexander Hope, youngest son of Viscountess l3eresford. Lord and Lady Sherborne entertained at dinner yesterday the Duchess of Gloucester, and other members of the Royal Family. The French Ambassador and the Countess St. Au'aire re turn to 'Manchester-house on Thursday. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. It seems as if this season would prove to the Italians, what must often have been suspected, that their real strength lies in the Opera Buffa. Already, we believe, the old opera of Le Cantatncz Valetta, bedizened out with a bit of Betly, had proved their most successful revival, and 11 Barbiere di Siviglia, as produced last night, promises to be a greater favourite still. Lablache is such a tower of strength in comic opera. True he is a great tragic artist, but it is in the comic, where lie is exuberant in his mirth, where he flings out all sorts of odd conceits, that we feel he thoroughly enjoys himself, and that he diffuses enjoyment all round. His son Frede• is is not without humour; he threw mach life and animation into the Barbiere, his first spring on the stage was characte r i s ti c. % his " Largo al factotum trippingly sung, but his was not a strong version of the part. Persiani, with her sly reserve, is a great actress in the Opera Buffa. She can coquet so well %lilt a glance—she tan enjoy mischief so quietly. The audi ence were loud in their applause last night at her fine execu tion in " Una voce poco fa," and altogether her Rosina was a triumph. Ronconi's Basilio was decidedly better played than any part he has acted yet, and he is evidently a humorous co median, though an ungraceful tragedian. 'The opera went off so as to satisfy the most sanguine expectations. GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY.—Yesterday he half-yearly Meeting of the Shareholders of this Com pany, was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, P. E. Towneley, Esq., in the chair. From the Report it ap peared that the net tonnage for the half year. ending 31st of December last, have amounted to 62,238/. 18s. 9d., being 5,311/. 4s. 10d. more than in the preceding six months, and 4,5991. more than the corresponding period of the preceding year.. The actual cost for the maintenance, &c., of the canal for the half year, including 2,000/. paid for rents, was 15,8571. 3s. 6d., besides which the Committee paid 7,466/. 17s. 9d., in outstanding claims to the 31st of Decem ber. No important progress has been made in the 1-gal matter in dispute between the lord of the manor of Rick mansworth and the Company. The balance of the account to the 31st of December last being 46,5811. 18s. 2d., the Com mittee recommended the payment of a dividend of 31. 10s. per share, amounting to 40,092/. 10s. The revenue for the half year was as follows :_Net tonnage, 62,238/. 18s. 9d. ; single boats, 8681. 194. ; wharfage, 3101. 13s. 9d. ; rents, 5,927/. 14s. 6d. ; casual receipts, 539/. 131. 5d., making together 60,9851. 19s. sd. After the various payments, a balance of 46,581/. 18s. 2d. remained to the 31st of Deeem • ber, 1841. The • amount of unclaimed moneys to the 30th of April, 1841, was 15,3661. 10s. Id. The Report was adopted, when thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting adjourned. THE MURDER AT HlGHBURY.—Yesterday the policeman Moss, and Alott, the baker, who were both severely wounded by Cooper, went to Newgate, for the purpose of iden tifying the murderer. The wretched man, on seeing them, merely shook his head, and then pursued his walk in the yard. Superintendent Johnson, of the N division, yesterday handed over to the widow of the policeman Daly, the sum of 110/. which had been raised by contributions from the constables of the police force, and subscriptions from various private indi viduals. The widow Daly had previously received -10/. from the Commissioners of Police. The deceased had saved nearly 601., so that she is now, having no family, in comparatively comfortable circumstances. We understand that Sir Colin Mackenzie, of Ku coy, Baronet, is immediately to place on the table of the House of Lords his case to establish his claim to the title and dignity of the Earl of Buchan and Lord Auchterhouse. By the pedi. green he traces his regular descent from Sir James Stewart, maternal uncle of King James the Third, King of Scots, created Earl of Buchan and Lord Auchterhouse 1466.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY) HAILVEY V. HARVEY. The arguments in this cause, which had been part-heard yes terday, were resumed to-day. The principal question turned upon the construction of the will and codicil of Peter Harvey, which bore date 1816. The details, which were of considerable length, were totally devoid of interest. The Court was still engaged with the case up 'to a late hour of the day. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The COURT was engaged the whole morning in hearing the arguments in the case of the Duke of Beaufort v. Gough. The question in dispute was as to the right of property in a certain waste in the Lordship of Gower, underneath which there were valuable veins of coal and of stone. The Duke had brought an action of ejectment, and had gained a verdict. Sir Thomas Wilde hvd obtained a rub nisi fir a new trial on the ground, first, of misdirection by the Judge, and, secondly, that the verdict was against evidence. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL showed cause against the rule, and the arguments had not concluded at the time we went to Kress, and were expected to last the whole day. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) No case which would justify a report came before the Court up the time of our going to press. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) The Court wont through a number of canes on the special paper ; no point of any general interest was raised in the course of the arguments. INSOLVENT CO URT-(T H IS DAY) IN RE WILLIAM FELTON BANNERMAN. The insolvent was mate on board the Royal Mail Packet for 'lndia, in which capacity he was allowed to supply the crew with articles of clothing, but having entered upon further spe culations, which were disallowed by the Admiralty, the unsold goods were lauded at Southampton, where they were detained in the Queen's Dock, and would become available to the creditors on the return duties being paid. His application to the Court was to be admitted to bail until the day of hearing.—Granted. IN RE JOIN JAMES FRASER. The insolvent in this case was a vocalist, well known at all the minor theatres, and who had also been a favourite at Drury-lane some time back. He passed through the Court in the latter end of the year 1840, and now appeared again to be discharged on bail until his final hearing. Bail having justified in the sum of 1401., he was ordered to be discharged. The CoU'rt was generally occupied during the morning in hearing uninteresting applications for bail. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mary Smith, a very old woman, was charged with stealing 9d. in copper from a till. Sarah Itossiter, the keeper of a beer-shop in Great St. An drew-street, St. Giles, stated that the prisoner went into her shop last night and called for half a pint of porter, with which she was served, and which she remained at the bar to drink. Witness retired for a moment into another room, and imme diately afterwards she heard the till rattling ; she returned to the shop directly, and observed the prisoner's hand in the till ; the hand was immediately withdrawn and the prisoner placed it in her bosom. The money was found upon her. The prisoner, in defence, stated that she was drunk, and did not know what she was about. TWYFORD fully committed her to take her trial. ASCOT RACES.

Lord Exeter's Amima filly, by Touchstone (Mann) 1 Lord Chesterfield's Dil-bar BANK OF AUSTRALASIA, INCOR PORATED by ROYAL CHARTER. The annual General Meeting of the Proprietors of this establishment was held on Monday, at thr office in Moorgate-street, to receive the Report of the Directors, &c. The chair having been taken by J. S. Brownrigg, Esq., M.P., the advertisement convening the meeting was read by the Secretary, and the three Directors, Oliver Farrer, Esq., Captain Sir A. P. Green, RN., and Alderman Sir George Carroll, going out of office by rotation, were unanimously re-elected. Mr. MILLIKEN, the Secretary, then read the fol lowing Report : " 1. In conformity with the general rules estab lished for their guidance, the Directors proceed to perform the duty assigned to them of laying before the Proprietors their annual Report of the operations and position of the Bank during the last year of account. "2. Every person having communication or con nexion with the British colonies in Australasia must be well aware of the unexampled state of distress, both agricultural and commercial, under which these colonies have laboured during the period adverted to. " 3. The continuance of this distress for more than a year, accompanied with commercial failures of un equalled extent and importance, might not unnaturally have prepared the Proprietors to hear of an unusual amount of casualties ; but it is satisfactory to the Directors to be able to state that the ascertained losses do not materially exceed those which from the magnitude of the business might have been expected in ordinary times. " 4. The Directors perform a most gratifying duty in reporting to the Proprietors that the conduct of the local Directers, and that of the Inspector and Managers at the various branches, have generally been characterised by great prudence, discretion, and fore sight ; that the zeal and anxiety displayed by all the officers in their respective stations have been moat laud - able and unceasing, and that it is to the exercise of these qualities that the Proprietors are mainly indebted for a result rn the year's accounts, now about to be laid before them, which could hardly have been realised had less judgment and caution been evinced. On these grounds the gratitude and thanks of the Pro prietors of the establishment have been richly earned by the colonial eetablishments of the Bank. "5. There are a few matters of detail which the Directors think it right to lay before the Proprietors previous to giving the abstract of the accounts for the year. " 6. The first is the resignation of Mr. Griffiths, the Inspector of the Colonial Establishments, whose con nexion with the Bank from an early period of its ex istence the Directors regret should have terminated. " 7. The selection of a suitable successor was a sub ject of much thought and anxiety to the Directors, but they have the pleasure of informing the Proprie tors that they have engaged the services of Mr. W il liam Hamilton Hart, who has been appointed to that office. " 8. The Directors are convinced that Mr. Hart's long experience in business and acknowledged talent qualify him to discharge satisfactorily the responsible and arduous duties of superintending the affairs of the Corporation in the Colonies, and that. he will maintain his previously well-established character. "9. Mr. Hart sailed from Plymouth, with his family, at the commencement of this year ; but iu consequence of the typhus fever having unfortunately broken out among the passengers, several of whom fell victims to its effects at sea, the vessel was compelled to put into Pernambuco, in the Brazils, where a vexatious detention of several weeks has been expe'- rienced, occupied in eradicating the disease from the ship. The voyage, it was expected, would be re sumed in the middle of April, and the Directors hope Mr. Hart will now ere long reach his destination. " 10. Mr. Griffiths continues to conduct the affairs of the Corporation until tke arrival of his successor. " 11. In their last Report the Directors announced that steps had been taken for the formation of a branch bank at Perth, in - Western Australia, under the ma nagement of Mr. Lewis. This gentleman died suddenly soon after his arrival in the colony - , but prior to that unfortunate event he had most ably brought to a con clusion a negotiation entered into with the then existing colonial ban, called The Bank of Western Austra lia,' which became amalgamated with this establish ment. The branch opened on the 3d May, 1841, un der the superintendence of an efficient and influential local Board of Directors, selected for that office by Mr. Lewis, and has received the decided support of the principal colonists. The transactions have been as extensive and profitable as could he looked for in the infancy of the business, and the Directors re tain the same expectations of the success of the branch which they had formed when its opening was determined on. " 12. At the death of Mr. Lewis, which took place on the first day that business commenced, the ma nagement devolved on Mr. M'Dermott, the next in office, who had ben engaged as the accountant of the branch, and who for many years had filled the situa tion of principal cashier of the old Bank. " 13. The subject of the position and prospects of the officers of the Corporation is one of no inconsidera ble importance, connected as it essentially is with the future good management of our colonial establish ments, and the general prosperity of the Bank ; it has consequently occupied, for a length of time the so rious attention of the Directors. " 14. It apeared to the Directors that the most ef fectual way of retaining the services of their officers would be to create a fund, out of which pensions should be granted to those who from age or length of meritorious service, or physical incapacity, might es tablish a claim to such a provision. Acting upon this view, they desire now to state that they have passed a resolution (in the propriety of which they confidently expect the cordial concurrence of the Pro prietors) appropriating the sum of 1,0001. per annum for the formation of a retiring fund, to accumulate in Sydney at colonial interest. 15. It will be some years before any claim can arise to form a charge on this fund, and when that period approaches the Directors will be prepared with a digested plan for its application. In the meantime the knowledge that such a fund exists, and that every officer who by length of service, fidelity, and good conduct shall be entitled to its benefits, will be enabled to ensure to himself a future provision, will, the Directors fully anticipate, tend to secure the con tinuous services of the officers in the employment of the Bank. " 16. Having made the foregoing few observations, the Directors proceed to lay before the Proprietors the following statement of the results of the year's trans actions ending on the 11th October, 1841 : The amount of the reserve of un. divided profit at 12th October, 1840, as shown at the last annual meeting, was . To which are now to be added the profits realised both in the Colo nies and London, to 11th Octo ber, 1841, after deducting all expenses incurred, and an esti mated provision for bad and doubtful debts, amounting to £80,293 2 3 67,024 17 0 £147,318 0 0 Prom which are to be taken the following sums paid to the Pro prietors, viz : April dividend 1841, on 10,000 shares, Oct. dividend 1841, on 15,000 shares .. . ...... .24,000 And the bonus of 11. a share paid at Oct. 1841, on 15,000 shares . 15,000 £55,000 0 0 Leaving as the amount of the ra served fund or rest on the 11th Oct. last " Out of which sum the April dividend for 1842 has been paid, and the Directors propose declaring the usual dividend of four per cent. upon the old or paid-up shares of the Corporation for the following half-year ending in October, being at the rate of eight per cent. per annum. Considering also the probable lengthened period which will elapse between the pay ment of the first and following instalments on the last series of new shares issued, it is the present in tention of the Directors to pay a dividend in April next upon the first call of 101. already paid on those shares. " 17. The foregoing result will, the Directors con fidently anticipate, be received with satisfaction by the Proprietors. It is in itself the best test of the pros perity of the establishment and the prudence and correctnes of its management during a period of severe monetary pressure. At the date of the last accounts, this pressure still continued to paralyse the operations of commerce, and it is not improbable that losses may be sus tained by this Corporation in addition to those already estimated; but the Directors entertain a firm hope thrt some improvement in the state of the colonies will before long take place. The Directors, how ever, always bearing in mind that the business of so large a banking concern, and conducted at so great a distance from the parent establishment, is peculiarly exposed to contingencies which no prudence can foresee or avert, have not failed to avail themselves of the opportunities which the successful results of pre vious years have afforded to make what is believed to be an ample provision to meet any such losses, should they occur." The CHAIRMAN wished to know if any Proprietor desired to ask any question relative to the Report ? The meeting was aware that it alluded to two or three important questions ; the most prominent one was the establi s h men t o f a f un d to provide pensions for the officers serving in the:colonies.—(Hear, hear.) The Directors thought the establishment of such a fund would have a beneficial effect.—(Hear, hear.) Captain PAGE wished to know if the parties them selves would contribute anything to the fund ? -- • - • --- The CHAIRMAN replied in the negative, the O C Direct' tors being desirous of having the control T the funds in their own hands. A PROPRIETOR inquired if the profit set forth in the Report wal to the close of last year ? The CHAIRMAN answered, it was only to Octobet:, 1541, so that the Company had always nearly arefi rg , profit, which was not brought into the statement suu mitted to them at the annual meeting, as the accounts from the colonies could only be made up to that Pe' riod.—(llear, hear.) The following resolution was then carried : — " 4t the Report be adopted, printed, and circulated among the Proprietors." The CHAIRMAN continued—The Directors having called the attention of the Proprietors to the co nduct of their local officers, at a time of no ordinary 01 ' 1 , 1 ' feel it their duty to propose to the meeting the fur' lowing resolution :—" That the cordial thanks of t he Proprietors he given to the Local Directors, and the Officers of the Bank on the Colonial Establishments, for their able management of the affairs of the Corp° ration during the trying period adverted to by the a Directors in the foregoing Report," which was collie with acclamation.

The asylum is situate near Brixton-hill, and was erected at a cost of about 6,0001., for decayed citizens and their widows. It was built to comme morate the passing of the Reform Bill, on which occasion 1,5001. was contributed by the City authorities. It has now 30 inmates. It appears, from calculation, that from the first day of the meeting of Parliament to the 27th day of May, 1842, the aggregate number of petitions pre%ented to Parliament has been 5,725, and the number of signatures attached thereto 5,593,106. ' EMIGRATION.—The number of emigrants who have left the port of Galway this year, and the season is not yet over, amounts to no less than 1,130. A vessel sailed from thence on Friday for Quebec, with 186 passengers on board. MASTER JONES.—The boy Jones, whose repeated intrusions into Buckingham Palace excited so much attention in England some months since, has arrived as an emigrant by the Diamond, the Government having availed themselves of this plan to rid themselves effectually of the presence of a south whom no precaution they could take sufficed to exclude from the presence of Royalty.—Murray's Australian Review of Dec. 3.

PLEASING TRAIT.—An incident occurred on board the Viscount Bandon, which sailed on Wednesday from Graves end with the last detachment of the gallant 9th Lancers on board, which deserves record. It is thus described in the United Service Gazette : —4. A volunteer from the 15th Hussars, named Fane. had recently married ; his patting from his wife was so painfully affecting that his comrades clubbed amongst themselves and raised the funds requisite to defray the expense of her passage to Bengal, rather than sever her from her husband. This generous act came to the knowledge of the owner of the Beulah, Mr. Laidman, who happenad to be on board at the time, and who was so much pleased with the men's disinterested generosity, and the attachment of the newly wedded couple, that he paid the woman's passage-money out of. his own purse, for which he was chaired, nolens volens, round the ship by the men." ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.—A further trial of the Atmospheric Railway took place at Wormwood Scrubbs. There were present, among other gentlemen, Mr. George Rennie, C. E. ; Lord Bruce, Hon.

A young man, a collier, has, for a consider able time been paying court to a young woman at Eckington, and the consequence is, that she, about a month ago brought forth a fine daughter ; oat the day above mentioned she, with the child, rnade her appearance at John's lodgings (with his foster mother and father). John was not at home, to whom she intended to present the child, " for to take it back was not her intent." A neighbour or two happened to step in (natural enough) "to look at John's fine baby, when the mother, good-naturedly asked one of them " just to feel the weight of it," and immediately ran off, leaving the child with her, and she has not been to it since.—Derbyshire Chronic!e. Crops of all kinds are looking well, and, with the exception of hay, which is rather thin, give hopes of a more abundant harvest than we have been favoured with for many years.

ORIGIN OF THE WAR AFFGHANISTAN. Amongst other letters from India just received light more or less upon the state of affairs there, • rences which brought matters in Caubul to such pass, one of an extremely singular character may ' which from its curious details is really worthy more especially as the lady writer asserts that be relied upon and are well known in the hi India. It would seem, according to this se. woman, the " eaase of all man's woe," *as in rerfect innocerce however, of the late di. ghanistan. The story runs thus :—Some arrival of Lady M'lsTaghten in Caubul, to join Sir William, he received the news of merit as Governor of Bombay. When the necessary arrangements for proeee% possession of his Government, Sir William, of but look to the safety of his journey and the _ lady and thy other officers' ladies who proposed her. At that time the passes through the through which lay the route, were still infested dangerous by the unruly tribes inhabiting them. in order to restore tranquillity and ensure order tribes, Sir William M•Naghten, on concluding the chiefs, had taken the precaution of making that some of the more influential among them f their residence at. Caubul, soas to be under the the British authorities. The ladies proposing to William to Bombay, well aware of the troubled • zie districts in the mountain passes, expressed anxiety about the perils of the passage,and in fact a proceed without the best security for safety. In as the most ready mean's, Sir William summoned chiefs in Caubul to a conference, at which 1 them his desire, equivalent to a command, that company his party through the unruly districts, presence and influence to secure the peaceful bel tribes. On retiring from the conference, the held a parley amongst themselves, and expressed of the proposition as being a snare for carrying they; and confining them in Hindostan, as was the ' Kakeer chief, Hadji Khan. They formed the . sequence not to proceed with Sie„William, but as of course, would subject them to punishmen t, to solvraise ed al an insurrection, as th the e only way to lan escape the ~,, p k, bined on the spot. And this was to attae!t i hee, sOs . dence of Sir Alexander Burnes as the more forma' ,er they had to deal with, arid to plunder the tresn' sr_ t ill strange enough, was held in the next house to 0 1 7 0 Mitt guarded.
