W 4 3. take the following from the Herald :—" Lord Mel - nlite attrib u t es the present, position of the country—not to ;tr restrictive or protective commercial system, such nonsense „.b leav es to Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston—but to toe evils which he describes as afflicting nations in times of P ea ce With the Roman poet he sighs apparently for war ssha remedy for the great evils of peace.' This ia quite a ricteristic nf the Noble Viscount ; careless, inattentive, an rildifferent as to the present, the indolence of Lord Melbourne's cllltivated but abused mind seeks for the causes of present die kt rin the c l ass i ca l rem i n i scences o f hi s un i vers ity life.

The Noble Duke's stomach rejected . such misor t„,se se ntimentality ; the emergency under which the nation ;wipers, replied the aged warrior and statesman, are evils, not •i h war, but of semething as like war as any thing he ever saw; th:y" not measures of war the Duke truly discriminated, but `Y are Measures which entail the cost of war, and that, cost, e added, we ar now called on to pay." The Ti m 3 e re e curs in the following terms to the hackneyed ;% 1e1 ' 64 1 of the Poor-laws It is not possible that a law ° °". l continue (ho w e ve r the peri o d f o r its repeal may be elayesi) which, being maintained against the general sense of th e' r people of E ng l an d, an d no t w i t h out a cons id era bl e b reac h ° f with on the part of the governing ratty, can find no better arguments for its support than those advanced by Sir James Graham in favour of the New Poor-law on Friday. Mr. lFakir, ton and the Right Hon. Baronet were is only de enders in the d e b a t e , !though 260 members recorded their votes on the side of Government in the diuision. If we may elge from the spe e ches d e liver e d by M r . Lidd e ll, C o l one l 'rood, and Mr. Stuart Wortley, there were many votes in the Inajority which Mose who gave them will find much difficulty In explaining to their constituents, if not in reconciling to their o wn consciences. 'with their professed principles and con victions, such votes cannot be reconciled at all. So far, there fore, from being discouraged, we draw a favourable omen from e result of this debate : we arc rejoiced to find that 61 Mem °erg are still prepared to take their stand in favour of consti tutional principles, even in one of those toe frequent cases in 'Which, as Sir Robert Inglis says, the coalition between the Chief s o f th e present and the late Administratio n , Si r R o b ert reel and Lord John Russell, makes any opposition to Whig Principles of government useless. The Post observes, in reference to the Church-rate ques tion—" We are sorry that nothing has been done in Perna %sent to give the Church reason to believe that it would be re lieved from the harassing strife and vexation which continually recur in many parishes on the subject of Church-rates. We ... i t hink it is clearly the duty of a Conservative Government to the lead in inducing the Legislature to put an end to the Ztiog grievance. We do not see why clergymen and honest, muj ea n t friends of the Church, should in many places be almost e,‘,, 441 y harassed because the law is in a defective state. an t i i"a sense points out that there should be some certain of ii , b ,:?t,ttel means of keeping parish churches in repair, and has f ":"'"jog what is needful for Divine worship.

But the steirlstances under which the present discussion is coming on necessity give a new character to the debate.

Other counts of the indictment charged him with the offence with intent to do some grievous bodily harm.

The prosecutor was then called on his recognizanees, and the trial proceeded without him. From the evidence it appeared. that on the 22d May last the prisoner, with his brother, was drinking in a public-house called the Bear, at Hanwell. After they had been there some time they entered into an angry . conversation, and the brother of the prisoner struck him a violent blow, and knocked him down and kicked him.

He came up to the prosecutor, and nabbed him in the lower part of the body. The prosecutor was taken to a surgeon, and the wound was found to be dangerous. The prisoner was taken into custody the next morning. 'f he prisoner, in his defence, said that he know nothing about the transaction. Mr. Baron GURNEY then summed up the evidence, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with intent to do some grievous bodily harm, recommending the prisoner to mercy on account of the provocation he had received.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week's arrivals were moderate of English Grain, and good of Foreign Wheat. The fresh supply was modera , e. Fine wheat obtained former prices ; other sort., including Fo reign, were very dull, and rather lower. Barley supported its value. Beans and Peas were a trifle dearer. Oats dull, and hardly supported former rates. The Flour trade indifferent. The late beneficial showers tend to keep the buyers out of the • market.

The market was quiet, The accounts from the plantations are favourable, but factors are not inclined so submit to lower rates arid supply the market sparingly. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. llAmpsurnE.—The hay harvest in the neighbourhood, is now almost concluded, and the weather for heat and sunshine could not have been more propitious. The crop of barley, turnips, &c., would, however, be much improved by some genial showers, the want of which, in fields and gardens near this town, is clearly to be ob served. Whilst almost all the villages near have been favoured with rain, there has not been sufficient in this quarter to lay the dust upon the roads. We have heard the rain fell in such torrents at Hippenscomb that a piece of wheat belonging to W. Gilbert, Esq., was nearly swept away by the force of the water.—Hampshire Independent. CARLISLE.—The weather continues dry and warm, and the farmers complain loudly of want of rain. Grass lands are suffering from the effects of the continued drought—being dry and sickly-looking. Wheats, how ever, are taking no harm. Tina hay harvest has already commenced in the neighbourhood ; the crop will be very thin this year.—Carlisle Journul. KENDAL—Crops are beginning to strfft,r much from drought, and if rain does not soon come, the operations of the speculators in grain will be greatly assisted by the increased anticipations of a short yield of wheat at the coming harvest.—Kendal Mercury. . . . , SOUTH WALES.—The crops are not over-promising, and a degree of poverty—partly brought by successive bad crops—which can scarcely be worse or more appa rent, is very general among the farmers in this part of the kingdom.— Carnarvon Herald. SETTLE..—On Monday afternoon Settle was visited by a violent thunder-storm, accompanied by slight showers. Two valuable horses, the property of Mr. Yeadon. corn and flour factor, were struck by a flash of lightning, which killed them on the spot ; yet, singular to relate, on exa mination of their bodies not a single hair appeared to be singed, neither was there other mark ' , k)r token of the fearful visitation. Hay-making is now general through out this district, and the crops, on the whole, have ex ceeded an average. Every description of grain presents a favourable appearance, though on some of the high or chalky soils more rain would be very desirable.—Lan caster Guardian. _ _ The hay harvest has commenced, and the cutting is becoming general. In consequence of the dry and sultry weather, the produce is, in some parts, slight ; yet, upon the whole, it may be considered an average yield. The corn crops a►e advancing towards maturity most favour ably ; and, if they still continue to progress as they have hitherto done, an abundant and early harvest will gladden the hearts of the farmers. Rain, however, is much needed, the earth being in many places almost scorched, from the powerful influence of the sun.— Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS INCOiIE TAX BILL.

SATURDAY'S SALE. On Saturday was sold the last portion of the loose portraits and prints formed by Horace Walpc.le, and among them were the Faithorne's and the Holler's. The prints by Faithorne produced 255/, and comprised several in the finest possible con dition as to impressions, and of first-rate rarity. Annexed are notices of a few lots which produced thebest prices on Saturday. Lot 739. Elias Ashmole, a bust in a niche; and another Lf Sir Edmund Anderson, Knight, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; both fine and rare, 21. 12s. 6d. Messrs. Smith. Ashmole has recorded he paid Faithorne seven pounds for engraving the plate, yet an impression at Sir M. M. Sykes's sold for 91. 15s. So profuse was Ashmole of the prints from this plate, that in most of the books in his library he uses it as a book-plate, and pasted them in to mark the ownership. Those books now constitute part of the Ashmolean museum, at Oxford, but from some atmospheric effect, or other inde fineab:e cause, nearly, if not the whole, of these rare trifles hare evapora'ed or disappeared.

I Is. 6d., Graves; at the Sykes sale it sold for 54/. Its. This is one among the many instances afforded of Walpole's folly in the destruction of his prints ; he appears to have clipped them to particular books, and to have carried on a most successful warfare against all the margins of his graphic collec tions, whether valuable or not. The Honors were many of them fine, and several of them of considerable rarity, yet did not realise more than ninety pounds. Among the rarest may be notified the following :- Lot 813. James, Duke of York, 1651, then in his 18th year, half-length, within an oval of palms, after a painting by D. Teniers, fine and of extreme rarity, 101. 10s. Tiffin. Lot 816.

Three portfolios with leaves, which contained the Walpole collection of Holler's prints, IL is. Messrs. Smith. Among the miscellaneous prints which concluded the day's sale, was a choice proof of Sharp's engraving from Domeni chino's splendid picture of St. Cecilia; it produced 4 guineas. The whole day's sale did not realise 350 L, and has shown the fallacy of breaking up the collection. A printseller of fered to take the collection, just sold, for 1,300/. ; it has realised 1,4001., but the expenses attending this last mode of sale has created a loss which the additional hundred will not reimburse. THE ARMY IN INDIA. --- - The subjoined is an extract of a letter from a non• commis sioned cfficer of the 22d Regiment, to some of his friends in Clonmel. It gives a very melancholy account of the ravages which the cholera has made in that corps : " Camp Kurrachee, 22d April, 1842. " Since I wrote to you about this day mo ith, the Almighty has been pleased to lay a very heavy hand on this regiment, in the shape of cholera. We have now in the short space of one month laid in the cold grave our band-master, sergeant-major, three sergeants, and 130 men, 12 women, and about 20 young children, not speaking of the proportion of the other European corps in garrison buried. I wrote to you a supplementary letter last month, when I found things were getting better with the right wing, as I was afraid if I wrote about it, it would make you uneasy. The next day it broke out amongst us. To bury nine men - a day was our allowance, and that with out coffins, only tied in a sheet, and three in some graves. We had to fly from the barracks into camp, half way to the sea. We soon, in the middle of a desert, raised a grave-yard. We fled from that place to the sea-shore, where we got great benefit from the sea-bathing, and buried very few. We were then ordered to join the head-quarter camp, where it was again as bad as ever. One hundred and sixty recruits from England having joined, it whipped them off very fast. The doctor made a report that the knocking about of the regiment has kept the disease up, so we marched into the wretched barracks here yesterday, but we now appear to be on the mending hand, though we still have it amongst us ; but please God it will soon wear'away. It was very singular that all the officers escaped I almost gave up all hope of ever seeing any of you again, but I hope for the best." QUICK PASSAGE.—We have just seen a gentleman who arrived at Blackwell, this morning, from Granton Pier, by the Prince of Wales new iron steam-ship, in the unprece dented short period of 36 1 / 2 hours, being the quickest voyage that has ever yet been made by steam between Leith and Lon don. We understand the Prince of Wales was built by these eminentengineers, Messrs. Tod and Macgregor, of Glasgow. CLAIM OF TIIE BARON DE BODE.—On Saturday the long-pending claim of the Baron Clement de Bode was brought to a close before the Commissioners, Messrs. Fraser, Williams, and Smyrke, and the Jury appointed to inquire into the claim. The whole of the evidence was got through on Friday, and on the evening of that day Mr. Commissioner Fraser commenced summing up; but owing to the numerous allegations contained in the petition of the Baron, he was obliged to adjown the Court, and resumed his summing up on Saturday morning. He concluded at three o'clock in the after noon, at which hour the Jury retired, and, having found the Baron's title to be good, returned into Court at six o'clock, awarding the Baron 9,106,650 francs, or 364,2601., being the sum, with interest, to which they thought he was entitled for the loss of his estate in Alsace. T he amount claimed, with in terest, by the Baron, was 1,600,0001. THE PRINCESS ROYAL STEAMER.—LIVERPOOL AND GLascow.—There is now running between Liverpool and Glasgow a beautiful steamer, for the conveyance of pas sengers, called the Princess Royal. She left the Mersey the Were must be a vacancy before the close of the other day at , four , p.m., and reached Glasgow four hours in ad vance of the mail. This is not a solitary instance of the rapid conveyance of the metropolitan journals to Glasgow by this steamer. She has frequently gratified the public of that city with highly important London news hours in advance of the moil. We understand she is splendidly fitted up, and is one of the fastest steamers on the station. The Glasgow Chronicle of the 15th says, "We have been again to-day put in possession of the London journals hours before the arrival of the mail, by the attention or the agent of this splendid steamer. In addi tion to this we received by her a file of American papers, brought by the Aca.iia. ( Halifax steamer), which arrived at. Liverpool yesterday, after a splendid run across the Atlantic of less than 11 days." READING ELECTION.—We have heard it reported several times during the past week that an election for this Iborough will take place very early in July, and many persons are found to give credence to this statement. It is at present 'a most unlikely thing that Mr. Roebuck's Committee can pro to examine and report on the Reading and other election► t in so short a time, and in the present temper of the ccue"eoe:ass:.l;r2irrit will be allowed to boroughs impeached of cor in fact, perfectly impossible to predict, with reasonable qh jt agt r i o s u , nds of certainty, when an election will take there can .e no doubt whatever.

Falmouth, May 12, 1842. Sir,—ln consequence of the numerous statements recently brought before the public by parties in London, complaining of the unnecessary detention of the mails at this port on being landed from foreign parts, more particularly when arriving just after the departure of the public conveyance, I am requested by the Faltw,uth Harbour Committee (as its chairman) re si•ectfully to suggest for the consideration of his Lordship, the Post-Master-General, whether it cannot be arranged that the north mail which now quits at half-past six, r. at., should start two hours and a half earlier, say, at four, P.M., taking with it the City letters then ready, which being delivered in Bristol at nieP, A. at. (or thereabout) the following morning, in time to pro,:t of the mail train of that hour to town, it seems clear would enable the bags to be delivered in London at about one or too o'clock the same afternoon. This alteration would give the London merchants two departures (instead of one) per day from Falmouth, at interval 6 of twelve hours, would not incur, it is presumed, any additional expense to the revenue, and would settle a question which, whether real or imaginary, has been endeavoured most unfairly and improperly to be made a ground of attack on the capabilities of the port of Falmouth as to internal communication. In laying these remarks before his Lordship, I can only hope, on behalf of the Harbour Committee, that the motive will be appreciated, and that the suggestions, such as they are, will rt.ceive that consideration and attention which the Post-office defartrnent may deem them entitled to.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, ROBERT R. BROAD, Mayor. To Lieut.-Colonel \V. L. Maberly, sec (Cony.) General Post-office, June 13, 1842. Sir,--Having submitted to the Postmaster-General your application of the It2th ultimo on behalf of the Falmouth fiat boxr Committee, praying that the present North Mail from Falmouth may be altered into a London Day Mail, I have re ceived the directions of his Lordship to inform you that having given his best attention to the subject, he finds that such an arrangement would be highly prejudicial to the interests of so many towns and districts of importance in Cornwall, that he does not deem it exp:diont to adopt your suggestions. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) THOMAS LAWRENCE. Robert R. Broad, Esq., Mayor, Falmouth. (Copy.) Falmouth, 15th June, IST) Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your of the 13th inst., in reply to my application of the 12th . nit. to Col. /Maherly, on behalf of the Falmouth Committee, praying, for the reasons therein stated that the present up north mail be made a London day Having had the opportunihy of laying said letter, immediately on receipt, before the Town Council, I am requested to ex press their extreme surprise and astonishment that so reason able and well-digested a proposition for so general and so na tional an object, involving moreover little, if any, extra ex pense to the revenue, should be thrown overboard on so insuf ficient a reason as that it " would be highly prejudicial to the interests of so many towns and districts in Cornwall." Of these towns and districts so positioned, no one here appears to be at all aware ; and I cannot but conclude that, if the Post office Department possessed the inclination to carry out the plan proposed, there would be no difficulty in its accomplish ; ment. The inhabitants of Falmouth have, however, acquitted them selves in the eyes of the publie in the steps taken by the Har bour Committee, and with the, General Post-office must rest in future all reflections regarding the non-existence of a mid-day delivery of foreign mails from this port in the city of London. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, ROBERT R. BROAD, Mayor. Thos. Lawrence, Esq., General Post-office. LIGHT SOVEREIGNS. --The trading portion of the inhabitants of Canterbury have felt considerable inconvenience, owing to the pr: , clamation of her Majesty's Government re specting light sovereigns.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.. During the whole of this morning much excitement has per vaded the neighbourhood of Islington, from a report obtaining circulation, that a female, named Elizabeth Carter, had been murdered and thrown down a well 150 feet deep, situate in Mr. Buckingham's rope-ground, in the Chalk-road, but a few him dyed yards from Pocock's-field, the scene of the murder of the unfortunate Mr. Templeman. From inquiries instituted by the Reporter, the following facts relative to this singular, and indeed mysterious affair, were elicited. It appears that a man named Joseph Carter, a coal porter, in the employ of Mr. Curtis, of Thornhill Wharf, lived with his wife, the deceased woman, in a small cottage in the Rope-gtound above alluded to, and who is stated to have been strange in her mind for some time. About a quarter before five o'clock this morning, the people in the neighbourhood were alarmed by loud cries proceeding from the Rope-ground, and, on their entering, they found Carter runninc , about declaring that he believed his wife was down the well, the flap of which he h ad foun d open, and which he said he led had just him woke, o t k o e, and a tfound wife had gone from belief. His statement was that his bed, and that he had been searchin g a bout everywhere , but without success. Th e p olice were calle d in , and some labourers present volunteer ed to descend th e well , which had not above two or three fe et of water in it at the bottom , and th where they discovered the body of the woman. With the greatest difficulty they were enabled to raise it to the surface, and when they succeeded, a most ghastly and heart-rending sight presented itself. The dashing against the sides of the well, as the body of the unfortunate woman descended, h a d cut it dreadfully about the head and face, covering it with blood. On seeing it the man Carter rushed into the house, and seizing a razor was about to termina te his own existence, by cutting his throat, but was prevented, and secured by the police. He is placed in the custody of some of his friends and the police, who are stationed on the premises. The unfortunate woman is 30 years of age, and it is said lived on very unhappy terms with her husband. The body awaits a Coroner's inquest.

LISBON, JUNE 13.—The result of the primary elections (for electors) has been decidedly favourable to the Government throughout the whole country ; and indeed to that degree that it is very doubtful whether the ultra and Miguelite league will be able to bring in a single individual of their party to the Cortes. I state this fact upon the authority of the official gazette, which, although it is flatly denied by the ultra journals, who claim the victory for themselves, no doubt is substantially correct. The contest appears to have been carried on everywhere with an earnestness and spirit never before dis played on any similar occasion in Portugal. The Miguelites threw all the weight of their power and influence into the scale of the ultras, but to little or no purpose. Had their coalition been fully effected at a former period, their united strength might have proved more than a match for that of the Government; but the alteration in the law regulating the elective franchise, consequent upon the restoration of the charter, by depriving great numbers of them of the right of voting, at the same time that it has left to the Government the immense advantage of having at its command a host of employes qualified, by virtue of their very office, to vote, has rendered their union far lest formidable than it would other wise have been. The Government is loudly accused, by its ad versaries, of having had recourse to unfair practices to insure its own success—such as compellings all public functionaries to give their votes in its support on pain of dismissal, and using a variety of tricks and stratagems too numerous to be detailed. The first of these charges there is every reason to believe is perfectly well founded ; in the others is probably much ex aggeration. The election for Deputies will commence on Monday next, the 20th inst. As to their issue there can he no question ; it must, of course, be the same as that of the primary elections which have just terminated, and the Govern ment is therefore perfectly sure of a large majority in the Chamber of Deputies. It is said that one of the prir.cipal causes that led to the recal of the French Minister, M. de Varennes, was a com plaint made tss his Government by the Prince de Joinville and the officers of the Belle Poule frigate, of a " mangue degards" —a want of courtesy on his part towards them during their late visit to this port. Her Majesty's ship Indus, 84, Captain Sir James Stirling, sailed from this on Friday last for Malta. The only British ship of war new in the Tagus, is the Lynx schooner, Lieut. Burslem. IRELAND. GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATION AT ENNIS. . Duzux, JuNa 16.—The following is from the L i mer i ck Chronicle:— JUNE 18.—The proceedings before Mr. Commissioner Smyth were brought to a close on Wednesday evening; but for all the light that has been thrown upon the transactions of the 6th, it might just as well not have been held'at all. Mr. Smyth is to make a report, grounded on the evidence, to Go vernment—a difficult task, you must admit, when it is remem bered that every one of the witnesses differ from each other an material points. Captain De Ruvynes was examined on Tues day, but his testimony was just as confused, and, as reported, just as unintelligible and contradictory as that of the previous witnesses. One thing only is to be gathered from it, and that is certainly important, viz., that the firing was as unnecessary as it was illegal. In reply to a question of the Court, Captain De Ruvynes distinctly stated that the police were not in any danger. "Court—l want to know whether, if the police had not fired during the night, the stores of Mr. Bannatyne would be forcibly broken open, and the property abstracted?—lt is my opinion that if there was no firing during the night the stores would neither be broken open nor the property abstracted." INQUEST ON THE BODIES OF MACNAMARA AND DARES. The Limerick Reporter, received this morning, furnishes us with the proceedings before the Coroner on the bodies of Mac. namara and Darey, The evidence was substantially the same as that given on the previous investigation ; but you will per ceive from the verdict, of which a copy is annexed, that the Jury have cast a serious imputation on the police officers Browne and Fitzsimon. The following is a copy of the verdict : " We find that deceased came by his death from the effects of a gun-shot wound in the leg, inflicted by one of a party of police, consisting of 36 men, who were stationed on the milt road, for the protection of Mr. Bannatyne's store, on the night of the 6th inst., by which wound he lingered and died on Mon day, the 13th inst. ; but by which of the said party said shot was fired we have no evidence. We also find that the people were in the act of retiring when said ehots were fired, and that no necessity existed fur firing. We further find that Mr. Biowne and Mr. Fitzsimon gave the word ' fire' immediately after Captain de Ruvynes had said, If you do not disperse, the men must fire ;' but we do not consider his saying so to be any justification for the firing." • The Chief Justices open the Special Commission for Tippe rary on the 28th, just ten days before the commencement of the circuit, at an expense to the Treasury of about 4,0004 ; and yet, if the statement of the country papers is to be credited, Tipperary is at the present moment in the enjoyment of the most profound tranquillity. Lord De Grey is about to visit the German Spas, which have been recommended by his physician. The Evening Mail of last night announces that Mr. Nicholls does not return to Ireland as Chief Commmissioner of Poor-laws, and further, that the entire system of administration is to be revised, for which there is certainly a crying necessity, WOOLWICH.-SATURDAY. ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY. The half-yearly examination of the Gentlemen-Cadets study ing at this institution took place on Saturday. At ten o'clock A.M., Lord Bloomfield and Sir E. Stannus arrived on the pa rade ground in front of the Royal Military Academy, where the Gentlemen-Cadets were drawn up in I;ne under the command of Captain Burnaby. The Lieutenant-General proceeded along the line, and minutely examined their appearance under arms, and appeared more than ordinarily gratified with their soldier like bearing in every respect. The Gentlemen-Cadets after wards marched past at slew and quick time, and went through the whole of the evolutions of infantry soldiers with a preci sion equal to the most experienced veterans ; and at the con clusion of their exercises Lord Bloomfield expressed to Cap tain Burnatiy his high approbation of the superior manner in which the Gentlemen-Cadets had acquitted themselves, so greatly to their own credit, and to the credit of those under whose charge they had been placed. The Gentlemen-Cadets after laying aside their arms entered the examination-room, where a Board of Officers, amongst whom were the following, were assembled : Colonel Cockburn, Colonel l'aterson, Colonel Lacy, Lieute nant-Colonel Dundas, and Brigadier-Major Cuppage, of the Royal Artillery ; Colonel Sir G C. Hoste and Brigadier-Ma jor Sandham, of the Royal Engineers. The examination continued from half-past ten in the morn ing until six o'clock in the evening, with only a short interval, and was gone through by the Gentlemen-Cadets to the entire approbation of the Board. The following is a list of the names of the Gentlemen-Cadets who have completed their studies, and have been reported to the Master General as entitled to commissions :—Charles Kinney, John Desborough, John L. Elgee, Edmund Flint, Francis Fowke, Charles S. Henry, Charles W. Hope, Frede rick W. King, Augustus F. Lennox, Charles Lucas, Robert B. M'Crea, Edward G. Paterson, Philip G. Ripon, Disney Russell, George Shaw, John D. Shakespear, Edward A Swin ton, and R. Wm. Taylor. The above formed the first or practical class studying at the Royal Arsenal, and sixteen were advanced to the first class, and will occupy the apartments in the Arsenal after the vacation. Twenty-four candidates came forward at the recent examination, and fourteen passed, and will enter the institution on its being re-opened. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GREAT FOUR-OARED CUTTER RACE. The gentlemen of the University of Cambridge who compose the London Subscription Rooms party, a crew selected from which won the grand challenge cup at Henley on Wednesday, had their annual race on Friday evening last, the distance being as usual, from Westminster to Putney, and the prize silver medals. The attendance was but indifferent, which may in some measure be accounted for by its occurring on the same day as the Royal Thames Yacht contest below bridge, and the aquatic interest being divided.

Purple came in second, and Green third. CRICKET. MARYLEBONE CLUB V. THE RUGBY SCHOLARS.—The match between eleven of the Marylebone Club and a similar number of young gentlemen students at Rugby School, was commenced on Thursday, and terminated the following day, at Lord's, in favour of the Marylebone Club. The following is the score :—Maryleborte, first innings, 67; second inning, 151. Rugby, first innings, 94 ; second innings, 71, the Marylebone gentlemen thus winning by 52 runs. Some first rate play was exhibited on both sides, and it must be admitted that the young gentlemen acquitted themselves remarkably well, when it is considered that they had to contend against some of the principal players of the first cricketing club in the world. The Club went in first, and of this innings Mr. Ibbet son (c. by Mr. Hulme) scored 23, Mr. Thackerav (b. by dr. Wrottesley) 14, Mr. Ince (run out) 10, and the Hon.

The hay harvest has commenced in several plaees in Wales, though the crops are but of scanty description, THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND I Though " poor" Mr. Campbell's Bill has beet shamefully cast away, and the noise about the Non- Intrusion question has ceased, we judge it expedient to publish the following resolutions which Mr. Wal lace intended to have brought forward when the Bill went into Committee, They will he read with inte rest by the church-going people of Scotland : That whereas an ardent desire pervades a great majo rity of the members of the Church of Scotland to see an end put to the exercise of Church patronage in that coma ca-untry, and to obtain, by legislative enactment, the un fettered right to elect their own pastors, and thereby to remove the chief cause of the present lamentable dissen sions in their Church, be it therefore enacted, that on every occasion whatever when a vacancy shall occur in the holy ministry in any parish its Scot land, that the same shall be filled up, upon the clear and distinct principle of unfettered election, by those who, at the time of such vacancy occurring, shall have their names recorded, in a list kept for that purpose, as per sons of good character, and being in habitual attendance on the ordinances of religion in the parish church. And whereas it is essentially necessary, with a view to the people exercising a sound .judgment in the choice of their pastors, that they should at all times hare a knowledge of those divines who, having successfully passed through the various probationary examinations and trials enjoined and required to take place before the Church Courts of Scotland ; be it enacted, that lists shall be duly prepared and published containing the names of the divines who have been duly qualified under rules to be made by the General Assembly of the Church or Scotland, so that on all future vacancies occurring in pa rishes in that country, the parishioners may be able readily to select from the said list, and are hereby -em powered to elect as their future pastor, any Probationer of Divinity who, having passed through . 0.11 his exami nations and trials before the Church Courts, and having obtained a certificate thereof, and having been accord ingly entered on the aforesaid list, shall appear to the said parishioners to be the person best qualified to be come the minister of their parish. And, whereas it has been vezy gravely alleged, thng the heart-burnings and dissensions at present so unhap pily prevailing among the members of the Church 6f Scotland, have been considerably augmented. by the es tablished clergy taking of late years an unusually active part regarding the appointment of ministers to vacant parishes ; and, whereas, it is clearly the interest as well as the declared desire of the great majority of the mean bers of the Church of Scotland, that the already placed, established clergy should confine themselves to their. own proper calling, and in noway interfere with the ap pointment of those who are about to become their breth ren, under the plea or usage of subjecting those newly appointed to undergo certain examinations or trials, pre-. vious to their being placed, during which period, unclear the present system—namely, after nomination by s patron, it has been found, in very many instances, that great excitement and discontent has been created by the interference of ministers of the Established Church, am! by other strangers not properly belonging to the parish.. Anti whereas, under a previous clause, provision 1' as been made for the due examination and trial of pro bationers, before the Church Courts, in the fullest and most complete manner which the General Assembly may see proper to direct ; and also, with a ♦iew to pre vent the recurrence of excitement and discontent, as. before allude d to, between the choosing and placing of a minister ; be it enacted, that it shall not be necessary for the person who has been elected by the parishioners, to appear before any Church Court for the purpose of examination or trial, after he has been elected ; and that his election in the aforesaid manner shall entitle him to become forthwith to all intents and purposes the minister of the Gospel in the said parish, and at the same time that the choice, when so made, shall subject him to the discipli❑e of the Church and the authority of the Churdi Courts, in like manner as all other placed clergymen now are, or shall in future be, amenable to its laws, and that he shall thereafter proceed with the sacred ditties of his calling without any other ceremonial than a formal introduction to these and his parishioners in the perish church. THE EIGHTEENTEI OF JUNE. 7 - Ti;is day is known in every part of Engl And, and it will be gratifying to our readers to learn tllat it was echhrated at Apsley House on Saturday by a great number of the brave men who fought in the Peninsula, and who finished their glorious career at Waterloo.. The Duke, of course, presided, and was honoured by" the presence of Prince Albert, who sat on his right hand. Lord Hill was on the left, and nearly all the suf— visors of the leading Generals on that great day were present. The room was ornamented with the present:, which the Duke had received from the different Sore reigns of Euppe—with perhaps the finest display of" plate and marLs of honour in Europe ; and the enter— tainment altogether was given in the most superb I sty/c, The first test, of course, was " the Queen," which was drunk with great enthusiasm, all the company standing. Prince ALBERT then proposed the health of the Duke of Wellington, and briefly alluded to the day which had prodaced such a change in the who/0 of the, continent of Europe. Tile Duke of WELLINGTON returned thanks. The next team, was " 14... rd Hill and the British Arm,r for whichthe-Commander of the F o r ces returned thais. " The Heroes that fcll at Waterloo" was drank in solemn silence.

The Marquis of Anglesey and the other guests took their departure shortly afterwards. The band of the Grenadier Guards attended on the occasion, and played a number of favourite airs, by Donizetti, Strauss, Musard, and Anber. A great cron d. was assembled at the entrance of Apsley House, who welcomed the numerous guests with loud cheers., MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF TRIO bAY.. POST.—The Bank of England have afforded increased. facility to the public in obtaining sovereigns of full n eight for those which may be less than the standard, by taking sums of 201. instead of .501. This, although of great benefit to the mercantile public, affords no relief to Qesse who are more par ticularly losers by the operation of tbes late order, nam e ly, th e lower classes. It . is now difficult, Tor these parties, who are solely dependent upon their weakly wages, to obtain change when the necessities of their families imperatively require it, without submitting to gross extortion on the part of the shop keepers ; and to sP:ch an extent has it been carried that many will not receive gold in payment for goods unless at a discount of five per eTht., or ono shilling in the sovereign. These parties may p er haps not be altogether so blameable as may appear at first sight, being obliged to protect themselves against loss ; 1 -iut the facility thus given to fraud calls most loudly for some interference, to place the poor labourer beyond the influence of these sharp practitioners. It may here be mentioned that the arrangements at the Bank are extremely inconvenient to suitors on this subject; and when the Rotunda, as it will be, is appro • priated to the payment of dividends, if an :alteration be not made, the annoyance will be much greater. SUN.—This week, as far as business in the Funds may be con cerned, has been one of complete stagnation. If the whole amount of bargains were added together, the total would not show as much as was done in one day a few months since. It is diffi cult to account for this apathy, but the most ready solution is. it is generally admitted, to be found in the gnat depressive which now universally exists in trade, and which has now ex tended itself here. The sale by the Bank broker, mentioned this morning , has not been followed up by subsequent oyerations ; nevertheless, Consols left off at 91A sellers, for the opening , ex-dividend 2: Reduced, 91 1 ,4 ii 91A ; Bank Stock 167 1 68 ; Exchequer , , Old, 45 47; New, 40 42 premium. d Hlf C .. 10 0 103 • Dutch Two-an -a- a per ,em.s., Belgian Bonds, - Cents., 101 104.; Danish, 80f; ' Foreign Securities were flat, though prices were unaltered, 52% 521 i ; the Five per 81 1 .‘ 2 • Brazilian, 66 67 . ii' lower.

The evil which was pointed out last week as having affected the poorer classes, in exchanging such part of their wages as might have been received in gold, has rather increased than diminished. A Complete profit is now made out of every labouring man who may present a sovereign er half sovereign for change by the shopkeeper, be it light or not, and in nume rous instances so great has been the deduction as materially to interfere with the comforts of the family. It cannot be expected that the employer who has a large turn to pay will provide himself with silver, and be at the loss of time necessary to ccont it, or that the recipient can afford to risk offence by refusing what i s t en d ered, and which the master is doubtless convinced is lull weight; hence the necessity of some measure to protect the artisan from the imposition which is daily practised open him, and which, from circumstances, he is obliged to submit to, though ill able to afford it. ,~.: i i
