The Bi:ls on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MARRIAGE (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD ADVOCATE (in continuation from our Afternoon Edition) said—He had now to beseech the atten'ion of Hon. Members, and particularly Scotch Members, while he stated the objects of the Marriage Bill. In the first place, one of its objects was to introduce certainty, and remove great sources of uncertainty, with respect to the contraction of marriages—to leave it no longer a muter of doubt and difficulty to be ascertained by a sitting investigation, and a long and most unsatisfactory inquiry whether parties have or have not contracted the state of marriage. Ile first object then, was to remove uncertainty with respect to the institution ormarriage, and to introduce regulations to secure a better performance of the ceremony. The second object was to insure, as far as possible, publicity to the contract of marriage, and to put an end to a state of law which he could not help thinking was a disgrace to a eivilizsd country, as it not only admitted but encouraged the con traction of clandestine and concealed inarrieges.—(llear, hear.) The third object ot the Bill was to secure a reasonable intimation of the intention of p trues to marry, se as to prevent hasty and ill. assorted unions, by giving the friends of the parties some notice of the in tention, and thus making them interfere to pre vent or sanction the marriage. time being al lowed to them for the purpose.— (Cries of " Hear.") There was also another point to which he wished to ad vert, viz., that a person belonging to any ot the dissent ing bodies in Scotland could not be married by a dissent ing clergyman without a proclamation ot the hallos being first made in the Established Church. This, he considered, was a very great grievance to all the parties concerned. The present law of Scotland made marriage a matter of civil contract; it was constituted simply by consent, and it was not even required that intercourse should follow the consent of the parties. To ascertain, therefore, the validity of marriage, it was necessary in many cases to spell it out by inference and conjecture, which, of course, gave rise to much difficulty, and frequently to litigation. Was that a state of law which ought to be allowed to exist? It was said that the presnt law was for the protection of females, but in how many cases had it happened that a written promise of marriage had been given to the woman, and had afterwards been destroyed by her seducer? In how many other cases had it happened that the womanhad received themost direct promise of marriage, had then surrendered her person, and on being deserted had no other evidence to appeal to than the oath of her seducer? He had no hesitation in saying, as the result of long professional expe rience that the present law, instead of being a protection to females, was a snare for entrapping them.—(Hear, hear.) He would now state how he wished the Bill, which he had introduced, to operate. In the first place, he intended to make all marriages good which were celebrated by a clergyman ; he would leave the law as regarded such marriages where he found it, with this exception, that where there was no proclamation of the banns, the parties should fill up a certificate giving notice to the registrar of their intention to marry. With respect to other marriages —marriages of an irregular na ture which were constituted by former subsequent inter course oricohabitation, reputation, or private writings—he proposed, in order to ensure publicity, that no marriage should be valid unless the consent was given before the registrar, and was duly registered by him. This would prevent all dispute as to the validity of the marriage, and would also prevent all clandestine proceedings. He also proposed that where the parties refused to have their banns proclaimed, that they should intimate their intention to marry to the registrar, who was bound to publish it in the most effectual manner. The Hon. Gentleman opposite maintained that he had done nothing. because he had only fixed a penalty of 2001. He wished to remind the Honourable Gentleman, that in dealing with a clergyman he was dealing with a public officer, and he could not deal with him in any other manner. In such a case, too, the penalty e ould be followed probably by deprivation of office. He could not carry the punishment fur ther, r xcepc by melting the marriages void, and that would lead to worse cense queuces, and would punish the wrong parties. The uncertainty of the law in Scotland wi'h respect to marriage was the great evil which called for this redress. With respect to con sequences, he referred the House to the case of a gen tleman in Scotland possessed of extensive landed pro perty there, who had married a lady from England, and alter the union bad subsisted a year or two a claim was brought against him by a woman in Scotland of a pre vious marriage, which claim depended upon writing,, in hich she affirmed a promise of marriage way given. 'liege were held to be proved, and the English marriage was declared void, and the lady obliged to return In , me in the character of an unmarried woman after she had for some time sustained the character and borne the honours of a married woman. Was such a state of things to be permitted any longer? Was such a state of law to be approved which allows such abuses to prevail? This case of itself alone was sufficient to ask that House to interfere and put (loin such a state of law. He wished to make a few observations with respect to the opposition made to this Bill. Members of the Church of Scotland had sometimes said to him "you are making marriage too easy by allowing marriage by registration." Why what better way was there than thus to insure publicity? Others, almost in the same breath, charged him with making marriage too difficult, by preventing marriage by writings and subsequent intercourse, or by promise, Again, he was charged with giving legal countenance for the first time to irregular marriages. With regard to the objections made by the Church of Scotland, it was only necessary to look at the state of things in Scotland now; the only penalty now was for a clergyman marrying , a couple without obtaining evidence of a proper pro clamation but have nothing to do with the Church; marry by writing, however dubious and enigmatical— marry by promise, however slight, and you were perfectly safe. If a clergyman were intro duced into the affair, and if he did not obtain evidence of a proclamation, which he had already shown to be a perfect farce, that instant the law interposed and the parties were subject to a penalty. What an ab• surdity was this. Could there be conceived any more preposterous state of the law than this? lie could find no force in the objection of the Church of Scotland to any law which proposed such a state of thing s . It the Church of Scotland did say that they had a right to interfere in this matter, they were making greater claims than the Church of Rome had done at the Council of Trent. With respect to the petitions which had been brought against these Bills, they numbered 337; and 225 were presented from the Church ; and these were got up in an extraordinary manner. There was a petition from the General Assembly, and a petition froth the Communion of the General Assembly, which was about the same thing. In the same manner there wart petitions from the synod, presbytery and particu lar individuals in Aberdeen, and this wa s the way all throuebout. Out of 1,000 par i shes in Scotl and, not above 130 bad petitioned ; and all the petitions presented were not signed by more than 7,000 person a s. He could not consider that these petitions were ex position of the opinion of Scotland. H e asked fornth c seßills, first, on the ground of certainty to the contracting of marriages in Scotland, which they had not at present, and, secondly, to gtidveetshireitp(i)iiptc..H hefty to marriage, which was hi g hly The Committee d:d not object to listening , nions of lawyers given before the Committee; bet they oeiccted to some half-dozen clergymen: of the Estate. lished Church, and a provost ffotn each city in Sti,t bed, being in the first place examined before the Com mittee. The Hon. and Learned Member concluded by say i ng he w ould oppose the amendment. Mr. WNEILL supported,the:amendment. Before he could consent to any alte ration in the law, he deniabded some exposition of the gr at injury that had resulted from: its past t pera time He htvi ee objection to gem , into a Committee of inquiry on the disgraceful mode which obtained en the burgers of Sete laid ot solemnisin g marriages. On the borders of Scotland that practice was a great grievance to the lower orders ot the people of Scotland, and he would rejoice to see a measure brought in to remedy and remove that abuse; ruck) a measure would not only cure a great evil to which the lower ( j a ws were Low subject, without abridging their ou.l()Y. merits, but would effect that object without working any evil to the higher and middle classes. He held that a marriage solemnly entered into by the principals in the presence of the members of their families, which was the present mode of celebrating marriage in Scotland, and where the par ties afterwards for a long series of years lived in the open relationship of man and wife, was a much more impressive proof of the relationship of marriage than any mere regisiratien the fact, which was one of the objects proposed by the present Bill. The ancient practice of solemnizing marriages in Scotland was one which had a counterpart in every nation in the world, and its propriety and legality had been recognised by the ecclesiastical courts in England in the person of a man so learned and of so high a re putation as Dr. Lushingion. It had been given in evi dence before the Committee over and over again that the people of Scotland were a virtuous people. Why, then, was the House to be told by the advocates of the pre sent Bill that the present system of marriage led to vice and immorality ? He hoped the people of Scotland were to be considered a civilized people. He knew they were a virtuous people, and one who respected the laws. In the name of justice and the people of Scotland, he protested against this Bill, since they had given them no opportunity of stating their objections to it. The author of the Bill admitted that the people of Scotland were most virtuous, yet the Bill was introduced on the ground that it was intended to put a stop to im morality. The laws of England with respect to marriage did not prevent that in England which it was stated it was the object of the Bill to ob viate in Scotland. In the first place, nearly all the counties of Scotland bad petitioned against this Bill. Mr. F. MAULE—The petitions also were against the Registration Bill.—(Opposition cheers.) Mr. M'NEILL said if the Marriage Bill passed, the Registration Bill would be rendered necessary. This showed how much both of these Bills were dis liked. An immense number of the town-councils had voted against it, as also a vast number of parochial boards, who might be said to represent the poor; also of the General Assembly, and of the borough representa tives. Surely these persons and the others who had pe titioned against the measure could not be looked upon as not expressing the interesls of the people of Scotland. It was said that the number of petitioners was small. Why it must be borne in mind that many of them were signed by the:chairmen of the meetings from which they bad ema nated. This Bill had been before the House three years , but each year it had been rejected ; and the patient having refused for three years to take the medicine pro pounded to him, the Noble Lord was about to thrust it down his throat. (Loud laughter.) The people of Scotland were a loyal, a peaceable, and a constitutional people. This was conceded on all hands. Therefore hnl s t m h o e y s t s o h h o j u e l o d t o n n o a t h p e re t o s s t a h e m w e a h s o u l r e e m u a s p o s n o t f h e t h m e w people. If they were about to start a new colony, he did not say that the law of Scotland with respect to marriage was one that he should feel disposed to apply to it; but, having stood so long, and worked so well, he saw HO reason why it should be altered against the wish of the entire people.—(Cheers.) Mr. F. MAULE referred to the proceedings in the Committee on the Bill, and drew attention to the fact that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who had just re sumed his seat declined to give evi lence on the subject before them. It was the more to be regretted that he had not placed his opinions on record, since he had now expressed them so strongly. lie would ask whether a great improvement would not be made in the condition of the people by marriages being made public instead of being carried on clandestinely. The amendment moved by his Right Honourable Friend the Lord Ad vocate if carried, would make the law clear on the subject of marriage in Ireland. He believed that the voice of the people of Scotland was nut represented by the petit , ns that had been presented against this Bill. The petitions had emanated from nu public body, but from the Commissioners of supply for C. inn ti, s. He believed it was not the Marriage Bill, but the It , gistration B:II, with which the Marriage Bill was connected, that had caused the opposition of the Commissioners of Supply to the measure.—(Near.) The city of Glasgow had approved of the all, and also the Registration Bill and so bad many of the principal cities) and towns of Scotland. The grounds on which he gave his support to the mea sure were not because he wished to force upon the people of Scotland a measure to which they were opposed. lie did not wish to cram down the throats of the people of Scotland a me isure antagonistic to their peace, but the grounds on which he supported the measure were that it would place the marriage law of Scotland on a more sound basis, and would promote the morality and happiness of the people of Scotland. Mr. HUME thought all the witnesses, and the state ments of the Noble and Learned Lord, the late Lord Advocate of Scotland, had demonstrated every fact in support of the present measure. They might well talk of the manner in which Scotland was used in that House. Why, this was the only four hours during the present session that had been devoted to the affairs of Scotland.—(Hear, hear.) It his Right Honourable Friend the Lord Advocate introduced a measure to abolish Gretna•green marriages in Scotland he would support him.—(Hear, hear.) But when he brought forward a measure that was to put an end to a great prin ciple in Scotland, and when he found that the Government were persevering against the wishes of a majority of the people of Scotland, he could not but la ment the course that had been pursued. He thought it a perfect mockery, in every point of view, to see the way in which the people of Scotland had been treated in that House.— (Hear, hear.) He denied that the institution of marriage in Scotland was one worthy only of a semi-barbarous nature. He thought the time was coming when they should pass a resolution, and be hoped Scotch Members would be the first to do so, that when it was proposed to proceed with Scotch affairs after midnight, that a motion should be made to adjourn the House—(Hear)—and that such motion should be persevered in till the affairs of Scotland were properly considered. The Noble and Learned Lord (the Lord I Advocate) had said that this Bill had come down to the House for three years. He trusted it would come down for thirty before the House would tolerate such a measure.—(Hear, hear, and cries of " Divide.") On these grounds he hoped the Bill would be rejected, and that in future Government would see the necessity of not taking up the time of the House with such measures as these. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment ... ... ... 68 Against it ... ... ... ... 73 Majority against it ... ... —5 Oa our return to the gallery we found Mr. GLASTONE, observing that, although he was not a Scotch Memb,r he was so far connected with Scot. land as to have the means of judging the state of pubic feeling there on this Bill, and he trusted it would not be persevered in this session. —(Hear, hear.) The Parlia mentary case of the Learned Lord—he did not mean the merits of the case—was againit him, and as he and the Committee over which he had presided had ad ulated that further evidence ought to be taken on the subject, h , , hoped the time of the House would not be wasted any longer, hut that the Bill would be postponed till next session. —(Hear.) Lord J. RU3SELL dtd not think the time of the House had been wu.ted, as this debate had afforded the Right Hon. and Learned Member opposite, the late Lord Advocate, an opportunity of statin.: his views upon the Bill, which he certaml) had done with great ability. —(Eierv.) All, therefore, that he could now do, after heariuK this debate, was to ask the House to name a day or fix a eert.in period when they would read the Bill a third titne.—(H, , ar, hear.) If the House had no objection he would fix it for Thursday, when he would be prepared to state distinctly what course Government intended to pursue with regard to the Bill.—(Hear.) Mr. LOCKHART apprehended that that question was still before the House. Mr. F. MACKENZIE said the motion before the House was the main question as to whether the third reading should be taken on Monday or not. Mr. GLADSTONE suggested that they had better, under those circumstances, adjourn the debate till Thursday. Lord J. RUSSELL said he had no objection to that course, and moved it accordingly. Mr. HUNIE hoped the Registration Bill would be con sidered at the same time. Mr. BOUVERIE, on the other hand, trusted it would not, fur while he and others were opposed to the Mar riage, they had no objection to the Registration Bill, but, on the contrary, considered it an excellent measure, not withstanding what had been said by an Honourable Baronet opposite, that without the Marriage Bill the Registration Bill would be a dead letter.—(Hear, hear.) The House then adjourned till six o'clock. The House resumed at Six o'clock. LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. Mr. FAGAN presented a petition from York praying for an extension of the Landlord and Tenant Bill. HARBOURS OF REFUGE. Mr. HURE gave notice that he should tomorrow move for returns of the expenses of the harbours of refuge, including those which had already been paid and those which had been incurred. Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice that at the morning sitting on Thursday, he should move for leave to bring in two Bills for the beneficial regulation of the mercantile marine. One was intended toregulate the present custom of pilot age, to which he expected there would be no opposition. and the other, which had regard more to the positions of the seamen, if there should be any opposition to it, he did not intend to proceed daring the present session. INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS. Mr. MACKINNON wished to ask the Noble Lord the Member for Bath (Lord Ashley), as a member of the Health of Towns Commission, whether the report is correct, that, in the metropolis and other large towns. the cholera, in poor districts, has generally attacked those persons whose habitations were in the vicinity of grave-yards? Lori ASHLEY said the communications which had been receird from the different parts of the country did not state whether or not the deaths from cholera had taken place in the vicinity of grave-yards. There could be no doubt, however, that interments in towns did exercise a very dangerous; iufluenee upon the health of the inhabitants.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. S. Smith, in a letter to the Board of Health, with refer ence to the c'ises of cholera which had occurred ac Bris titl, stated that the disease had broken out in a low, damp and overcrowded neighbourhood, in which here were burial ground+ where the most violent outrages were committed. SUPPLY. In reply to Mr. IIENLEY, Lord J. RUoSELL stated that he intended to take the Cc/matinee of Supply on Thursday next. RAIL WAYS-DISTBESSED UNIONS (IRE. LAND) BILL. The House then resolved itself into Committee upon this Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to move a vote as an fidvance for the completion of the railnay between Dublin and Galvenv.

COURT OF QUEBA'S BENCH. July 7. (Sittings in London, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN and a Special Jury.) BAMFORD V. THE LEGAL AND COMMERCIAL FIRE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. _ _ The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. The defendants' evidence called this morning was directed to show that there were strong reasons for sus pecting that the fire had been occasioned by the procure ment of the plaintiff. The point of this evidence was, that a man was seen coming out of the house at the time of the fire, that the house was, nevertheless , locked up , that the lock was a Chubb lock, and, therefore, not easily opened, and that the key was in the possession of the plaintiff's servant. With respect to the property in the house, a great many witnesses deposed that, from what remained after the fire, it was not of the best sort of trade materials, and that it did not exist in such quan tities as to justify the amount claimed for the loss. The witnesses generally stated the amount at about 4001. It was farther proved that, a little time before the fire, the plaintiff was pressed for money, and had been sued for I very small hums. eilr. Sergeant SHEE replied. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN told the jury that the ques tions to be considered were—first, whether there was evidence to support the plea that the fire had occurred by the procurement of the plaintiff ; and, secondly, whether the claim sent in so greatly exceeded the real value of the goods on the premises at the time of the fire as to amount to a fraudulent claim. If the first question was answered in the affirmative, there was an end of the case; if in the negative, then the second question would come to be considered. If the claim was fraudulent, then, according to the terms of the policy, the plaintiff could not recover. If it was not fraudulent, the verdict must be in his favour. Th. jury retired for some time, and then brought in a finding that the plaintiff did not procure the house to he set on fire, and on that issue found a verdict for the plaintiff. As to the other issue, the jury found that the claim was a fraudulent claim, and on that issue the ver dict was for the insurar.ce company. TILE SUN, LONDON.

This case, in which but little progress had been made at the rising of the Court, was an action of assurapsit, to recover a portion of the profits made by the denied ant on the importation of paddy, or rough ice, in cons,— quence of a communicalon made by the plaintiff to the defendant, at the defendant':4 requez.t. COURT OF EXCH 4 'QUER,JuIy 7. _ . (Nisi Prius Sitting at Guildhall, imure the Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) SHIPToN V. LARNDER. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for a loss occasioned in the re mqval of a large quantity of iron plates and hoops, by reason of the al leged negligence of th e d e f en d ant ' s servants. Mr. Sergeant Allen, with Mr. Hill. appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin, with Mr. Bramwell, for the defendant. The plaintiff is extensively engaged as a canal carrier, and has a wharf and place of business at the City Canal Basin. The defendant is a lighterman re siding at Limehouse. In the month of August last, a quantity of sheet and hoop iron, of the value of 300 L, was sent up by canal from Sta ffordshire, to be forwarded by a foreign vessel. and the plaintiff employed the defendant to convey the iron in a barge from the City Canal basin to the Lon don Docks, where the vessel was lying which was to take the iron to its foreign destination. The iron was shipped on board the defendant's barge, at the City Canal, on the Bth of August last, and was brought alongside the vessel in which it was to be shipped on the 10th of August ; but was there found to be damaged from wet, so that the captain objected to take it on board, and Yyglesias and Co., of Mark-lane, the London agents of the foreign purchaser, declined to receive it or for ward it to their foreign correspondents. The iron was, therefore, after some unsuccessful attempts to restore the smoothness and polish, returned back to the plaintiff, and thrown on his hands. The depreciation in value occasioned by the injury was said to be 701., and the carriage by canal, which was also lost to the plaintiff, was 20L, and the present action was brought to recover those two sums. _ _ _ _ _ _ On the part of the defendant it was insisted that he was wholly blameless, as the barge in which the iron was brought to the dock was in a perfect state, and the iron itself was covered with three tarpaulins, and care fully preserved from wet. The dampness which was ob served, it was said, was to be ascribed to an effL ct caused by change of temperature, and known in the iron trade as sweating," and it was admitted by plaintiff's witnesses that the iron when seen in the docks was fir, for home consumption, though nut available for exportation, and that the depreciation in value did not exceed ten pounds. Alter the defendant's case was opened, a conference took place between the Learned Counsel, and it was finally agreed to withdraw a juror, an arrangement by which each party bears his own costs. The above was the only special jury case tried during the day, and the Lord Chief Baron announced in the course of the day that at the Guildhall sitting, atter Michaelmas term, he propoaP&l to reverse the usual order, and proceed in the fir.t indanco with the trial of special jury causes, leaving the unntnon jury cases to be tried during the last week of the sitting.

On Saturday, Thomas Povey, a labourer, employed on the Eastern Counties Railway, was brought up for final examination, before Mr. Minitelll, charged with having feloniously abstracted a quantity of silk tabaret, of the value of 15/., the property of Messrs. Walters and Son, silk-manufacturers in Wilson-street, Finsbury, and three men, named Samuel Jones, Joseph Lucas, and James Thompson, were charged with having feloniously re ceived the same, well knowing it to be stolen. It appeared from the evidence that the property in question was stolen from a package, consigned to the prosecutor, during its transit from Braintree on the 2d inst., in one of the luggage trains of the above railway, and although immediate information of the robbery was communicated to the police, every effort to elucidate the transaction, or obtain any clue to the missing propel ty, was wholly unsuccessful until about ten days since, when it was discovered that the greater part of it was ex posed for sale in the window of Messrs. Hampton and Russell, furniture dealers, in Leicester-square. Inspector Shackell, of the railway police, accompanied by Sergeant Teakle, both of whom were dressed in plain clothes, ac cordingly proceeded there, and upon asking the price of the article, which was exhibited to them by a ahopman, the latter informed them that it was 3s. 9d. a yard, but at the same moment one of the partners entered, and offered to sell it to them at the rate of 3s. 3d. The officers then stated who they were, and on asking Mr. Russell, the partner, how he became possessed of the property, he replied that he had purchased it of a man named Jones, and produced a bill of sale relating to the transaction. Having secured the property, and after some difficulty ascertained the residence of Jones, they proceeded there, and in answer to their questions he ad mitted having sold the article, but he had acted in the matter as the agent of Lucas, who was thereupon appre hended, and in the first instance he denied all knowledge of the property, but on being confronted with Jones, at length acknowledged he had received it from the prisoner Thompson, who, being captured in his turn, declared that he had been directed to dispose of the silk by the prisoner Povey, upon which the latter was sought out and secured, when he alleged that he had peen employed by a truck driver, named Bolton, to sell the properly at any price he could procure for it. The mail Bolton, however, volun tarily came forward, and positively denied all participa tion in the matter, or that he tt.d ever seen thw silk until it was shown to him by the officer. Mr. Hampton, of the firm of Hampton and Russell, statt.d that, on the 14th ult., the prisoner Jones came to their warehouse, and offered them for sale the goods in question, consist. ing of upwards of 42 yards, fur which he demanded 3s. a yard, but observing that the article had been cut into four pieces, and was soiled and crumpled, they refused to allow him more than Is. 3d. per yard. which he ulti mately accepted, and witness considered that to be the fair value of the article. George Ctieeseman, the prosecutor'a foreman, and Abraham Brown, the weaver of the gouda, identified the property, e nd estim4ted the velar of it at Ba. 3d. per yard. Mr. Heritage and two other solicitors addressed the magistrate on behalf of tho three last-named prisoners, contending that there was no evidence to entablish a guilty knowl , dge on the part of their clients; but Mr. 11AMMILL considered it was solely a question for a jury, arid ocaered the whole of the prisoners to be committed for trial.

But what a Difference between the Manner of Bowling in those Days, and that Players now use; for then they did moderately trundle the ball under-hand; but now they fling it over-handed from the Elbow, as though viciously, and it flies like a Shot, being at least Five Ounces and a Half in Weight, and hard as a Block. I saw it strike one of the Bat-men on the knuckles, who danced and shook his Fist, a 3 methought well he might. But to see how handy some did catch it though knocked off the Bat by a strong man with all his Force; albeit now and then they missing it, and struck by it on the Head, or in the Mouth, and how any one can learn to play Cricket without losing his front Teeth is a 'Wonder. The Spectators sitting on Benches in a Circle, at a Distan ce , an d ou t o f th e Way of the Ball, which was wise ; but some on a raised Stand, and others aside at Tables, under a Row of Trees, near a Tavern within the Grounds, with Pipes and Beer; and many in the Circle also Smoking and Drinking, and the Drawers continually going the round of them to serve them Liquor and Tobacco. But all as quiet as a Quakers' Meeting, except when a good Hit made, or a Player bowled out, and strange to see how grave and solemn they looked, as if the Sight of Men in white Clothes, knocking a Ball about, is ere Something serious to think on. Did hear that many had Wagers on the Game, but doubt it, for methinks there had been more Liveliness if much Betting, and Chance of winning or losing Money. The Company very numerous, and among them some in Carriages, and was glad to see so many People diverted, although at what I could not tell. But they, enjoyed themselves in their way, whatever that was anti I in mine, thinking how droll they looked, so earnestly attending to a mere Show of Dexterity. 1, for my part, soon out of Patience with the Length of the Innings, and the Stopping and Interruption after each Run, and so away, more tired, I am sure, than any of the Cricketers. Yet Ido take Prins, as an EnAishman, in our Country Sport of Cricket, albeit Ido nut care to watch it playing; and cer tainly it is a manly Game, throwing open the Chest, and strengihening the Limbs, and the Player so often in Danger of being biz by the B 'ft —Punch. FIRE IN L mutt f est,. rday ( .1u od 3y) Forenoon, betwet-n t. n . levet' o'clo,k, a fire broke out in a lung range of premises belonging to Messrs. Biker and Suns, tile buieees, et Palace New-read, Litenbeh. Toe flames originae d in that portion of tee w aks terrued the " fitting shoe." This tatilding was about 70 feet long by 30 ur 40 wile, co:ripped princleilly of timber, but tided up with machinery and st -am-engines. The West of Eeglauti Brigade were qeickly at the scene, fellowed by emu-roes ether eneines of the London esteelisement. when the firemen lotted the building in which the fleues cotntneaced enveloped in one sheet of tire, and strong tears were entertained tor the safety of the premises on eitner side, especedly those le.longing to Messrs. Hewett and Nixon, the builders. The supply of water being moat abululant, was judiciously scattered ever the burn ifig mass. but , ho firemen were test:le to get the Hones eitinguiehed unit the tiqlll;4* and bl-teksmith'a shops were almost consumed, and :he store-rooms ever were burned out. The costly machinery and steam engines are also injured by the action of the fire, but it is under stood that the letter can be repaired at a trifling , xp,use. The total loss is very considerable, and unfortunately Messrs. Baker were uninsured. From the exatnioation made since the fire was extinguished, there is no doubt entertained but that the flames were caused by the sport tsneous ignition of steno old ropes stored away in the basement floor of the building.

INAUGURATION OF THE CHARTRES RAILROAD.— The inauguration of the Chartres Railroad took place on Wednesday. The first train left Paris at seven o'clock, and arrived at Chartres at ten; the eecond, which conveyed the President of the Republic, reached Chartres at noon. The terminus was gaily fitted up with flags arid garlands of fi rivers. An altar was erected, at which the Bishop of Chartres aid his clergy attended and gave nis benediction to the undertaking, making a suitable speech on the occasion. The Presi dent afterwards proceedei to the cathedral, where a Te Deem was sung, at the conclusion of which he reviewed the troops of the garrison and the National Guards of the town and the surrounding communes. After the review the President returned to the terminus, where a banquet was e a t s p o re e pa n r e e p d u . to blic," given hby the tth,entsmthe First To the ayor, First Magistrate of the country repiied by a tew . appro priate words. Alluding to the historical rem i n iscences connected with Chartres, he said, " It was at Chartres that St. Bernard first preached the second crusade, an-I society was saved by faith; it was at Chartres that Henry IV. made an appeal to conciliation iu the midst of the parties who then distracted France, and France was saved. I now drink •To Faith and Conciliation."' The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm.

Hoenoart ESTATE ALMSHOUSES.—Itiese alnlS hou,es, situate in Garrates-lane, Tooting, will be for mally inaugurated by the treesurere• bosrd of manage ment and inhabitants of Saint Cle.nent 1) ones on Thurs day next.

Each inmate has a pension of 30/. a year, with other ad vantages. The occupants are sleeved housekeepers of the parish of St. Clement Denes, and comprise twenty men and their wives, and twenty single women. INTERESTING AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT.—Some doubt having been entertained whether the maize plant, which grows almost spontaneously in tropical climates, could be successfully cultivated in this country, an expe riment upon a small scale has been made within the or namental enclosure in St. James's-Park, by permission of the Commissioners Of Woods and Forests. The seed was put in on the 24th of May last, and, though for some time retarded by easterly winds, the young shoots came up well. However, when the plants b egan t o f ee l th e cheering influences of light and air with a hotter sun, the success of the experiment was abundantly testified by the vigorous aspect of the little crop. It was in spected yesterday by several gentlemen interested in agriculture, all of whom expressed their astonishment at the rapid progress made within forty-five days, the greater number of the plants having grown one inch every day since the present sultry weather set in. The. spot selected was not favourable to the experiment, being close to a nursery of young trees and fl ,veering s h ru b s , which, in a great d egree, ten d e d to d epr i ve the plants of l ight, sun, and air. It is calculated that thirty acres of maize would be worth 40C1., if the soil lie of an average quality and properly drained. The cultivation of maize has been deemed of so much importance by the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, that two society e ' ablety:s j o u rnal,t ) p o pe in s g oe h xu a tp v alreadye ltah neabtee r s y t s ystem of culture. Should been published in the of the properties of this the pla experiment p oi n t ing now in course of trial in St. James's. park, succeed to the extent predicted, it is presumed that it will be very generally adopted throughout the kingdom. BOTANICAL SOCIETY or LONDON.—A meeting of the members of this society and others was held on Friday at its rooms, 20, Bedford-street, Covent-garden, G. Doubleday, Esq., vice-president, in the chair. Jasper W. Rogers, Esq, reed a paper "on the uses and proper ties of peat moss, and the value of peat charcoal its a di e . inleetent and ler , Af ter some re mar k s on t h e nature and peculiarities of th is mis s, Mr. R ogers pro ceeded to state that :he charcoal m ight be applied as a means of deodor zing the niget soil of our large toter's; and that with equal parts of that substance and cxeretial soil a very valuable manure in , ght, be prepared. Aft, r exhibiting the process by which this r fleet was to he produced, and shoving that the saving in healuh and money cons, quern on the ailoption of his plan would be considerable, Mr. Rogers stated that he was ready to submit the whole of it to any public test, and to aif fro every informstion in his power to such as were inter.. ested in the subject. Messrs. Edwin Chadwick, Teultni , Smith, Merchiein, and Woodw , ril then m isle a few re marks on the subject of liquid manures, cud the meeting broke up. COWES, JULY B.—. Wind S.CV.—Air h rdt.!

THE CHOLERA AT PORTSMOUTIL—Within the past few days this pestilence has broken out at Portsmouth, and bids fair, from the census of fatality in so short a space of time as three or four days, to become a long and devastating tenant of the filthy purlieus of that borough. About twenty cases have shown themselves in Ports mouth and Gosport within the past week. Four fatal cases in one house occurred on Saturday. No descrip. tion can convey an idea of the tole rance by the authori ties of the abominations which bred disease and encou rage death in the public streets and confined thorough fares of Prospect row, Montagu-street , Bucklanri, the Buildings, and such like localities. We are informeo that the two first cas•s showed themselves in a filthy place close to a locality, if not the identical spot wh ere the sweating fever raged in the reign of Eltz a b et h , t h e plague in 1666, and the cholera in 1832, when many cases proved fatal; yet in the face of this past and pre.. sent visitation the haunt is allowed to tie the m os t infa mously dirty in the garrison.

Oatmeal, on the con,rary, has continm d to meet a very slow sale, and previous rates well with difficulty main ained. Of foreign and Canadian produce the imports at Liverpool and Runcorn are to a large amount ; but from our own coast and Ireland the arrivals are again ek. tremely scanty. At our market this morning wheat corn' manded an amendment of Id to 2d per 701 b. Considerable firmness was exhibited by holders of flour, and the advance above noted being fully established, we raise one quotations accordingly. In oat; or oatmeal there was but little passing, and no material change in Lilue was apparent. NEWCASTLE CoRN MARKET, JULY 7.—At our market this morning there was but a small supply of all kinds of grain from the farmers, and only a limited arrival of foreigd and south country.

Coax, JULY 6.—The trade since our last has been qui et ' and we have little change to notice in any article of produce , Indian corn excepted, which has given way in value. The decline has arisen more from the absence of speculative feeliag in, or inquiry for the article, than from increase of supplie r ( which are small this week) or diminution of consumptiou: A moderate business has been going on during the week, bu t the purchases made are merely to supply present wants, ber s yond which none are willing to en t er i nto engagements. _ P regards wheat also, the weather i s t oo fi ne , an d the prosp ce . 0 of the crop are too encouraging to a d m i t o f any speculat i o n , the article, and hence. although a large consumption is pin on both here and in England, we have neither much i o erstle: of animation in the trade, nor improvement i n prices. Dig week's rates, however, are firmly m a i nta i ne d . We have veer , few foreign arrivals. and our ho,re suppl es are very i ns i g n i cant.
