It is really astonishing what an amount of ignorance, as respects bribery and corruption at elections, prevails among those whom the world slanderously presumes to be specially conversant with such matters. Few are the Candidates who have the slightest knowledge of corrupt, electioncoring practices ; still fewer the Constituencies who are ry , t as pure as unsunned snow. When it. is ob jected either to the electors or the elected that they are by no means paragons of innocence, the objection comes upon them like a thunder-clap ! They are bewildered — electrified—stunned. They never heard of such a calumnious reproach in the whole course of their lives, and are shocked at the moral depravity that could have originated it ! Assess a Parliamentary candidate or representative at his own valuation, and never was there a more spotless, incorruptible being. He is a diamond without a flaw—a pearl above all price. Even though he may represent an Ipswich or a Beverley, he thanks GOD he is not a WARBURTON, whose naive confessions of bribery strike a chill through all his veins ! From the speech which Ise de livered last Thursday at Nottingham, we gather that Mr. WALTER is a representative of this pure and spot less character. He knows nothing not he 1— of illegal electioneering practices ; no lamb new-dropped on Sherwood Forest was ever more innocent than himself ; and if he object to have the question of his innocence discussed on trial, it is only because he objects to those who are to try him. Messrs. ROEBUCK and HAwAs have such an odd, perverse way of looking at matters ; they are, besides, so notoriously his personal enemies, that they might actually confound innocence with. guilt, and deliver a verdict against him, when the verdict should be strongly in his favour. In these days of wholesale electioneering corruption,it is refreshing to know that we possess such a sturdy patriot as Mr. WALTER, who, with his hand on his heart, and his eyes piously uplifted to that Providence who knows and will reward his virtue, can thus address the Nottingham electors : " With respect to Mr. ROEBUCK'S charge of a sale of this town, - I can only say, that much money as I have - spent in honourable contest here, none has gone cut of my pocket, nor shall go, for such a purchase !" Exem plary man ! How black does a WARBURTON show beside a WALTER I ~ But not only is the latter gen tleman a model of political purity, but the whole Conservative - party at Nottingham is equally immaculate. "We know nothing," says one of Mr. WAL-rEn's staunchest supporters, " of the flagitious practices aneged against this town-1-we know nothing of them—we re pudiate them." We can imagine the face with -vvliich this virtuous Tory declaration was made, and r‘ - ^e no longer at a loss to understand what HORACE means, when he talks of a certain individual's countenance being cased in " triple brass ! " Whatever language may be held in the House of Com inons.relative to bribery, it is evident to us that, there ?pas not exist the slightest wish, on the part of the 2najo rity of its Members, to put an end to an abuse which reflects discredit upon the character of this country. On the contrary, we are persuaded. that there is not a privilege of Parliament which Hon. 3fem beis prize more highly than that of screening those who are guilty of such mal-practices. As we said a few days ago; bribery is the means by which honest men, of small fortunes, are kept out of the House of Commons. This endears the practice to the aristocracy, and heace we And_ Whigs as eager to support it as Tories. TO put an end to bribery, we must educate the people, and extend the suffrage ; to punish it we must establish A tribunal to inquire into it, quite distinct front either house of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill would not diminish the evil one jot. A jury of five Lords and seven Commoners would return a verdict as little de .serving of respect as an Election Committee. We find the following statement in the Irish COITCS- Fincinwe of the Morning Herald : , "ihe town, of Ballyshannon presented the appearance of a :fair during the past week, from the number of families passingt,, Donegal and Derry for emigration. They chiefly came from the county Fermanagh, where, it is said, whole townlands are deserted by the industrious and peaceable teciants, who have resided there from their infancy. They had a respectable ap pearance, and seemed to be well supplied with every necessary requisite." The people of Fermanagh arc among the most peace able and industrious in Ireland. 'Their pursuits are agricultural, and they are much attached to their coun .try. Yet they desert in scores to people the wilds of itCanada, or locate in the great valley of the Mississippi, Xven life in the wilderness has fewer terrors for them f t; an a longer residence in their own beautiful country. Thv fact speaks volumes for Irish misgovernment. Great' must be the wretchedness, and hopeless the lot o f an trish cottar, who deserts his cabin to cross the Atlantic in search of the means of subsistence. The Right of Search question is again discussed in the French Journals received this morning. The Con stitutionnel says that France was slow to discover the ( - f o rgers and abuses to which the Right of Search would lead, but now that she has taken alarm she will for over persist in opposing the re cogn i t i on o f suc h a r i g h t. Th e Conititutionnel praises the English nation and Govern ment, but contends that they are insincere in their er deavouri to have it believed they are wholly influenced upon this question by a religious detestation of slavery . We are charg ed with the ambition of seein g our flag . Moat over every part of the ocean, and the wish to ex tend our trade in whatever we do to abolish slavery. If the indirect advantages of suppressing this horrible traffic are so obvious, it is rather surprising that France should not be eager to participate in them. But there ig no longer any use in the discussion of the question. It is enough to know that 'Fran .e will not ratify the treaty. There is, therefore, an end - to the business. The Fronch Government is determined to push ( n the various projects for making railways, and to shrine;: from no expense in the early completion of these p;igant "Andertalcings. France cannot incur debt more usefu!ly than in works so beneficial to all eltiscs of her people. We find the following article in the Gazette the Dauphine: "Jean Boudrier, of Pont do Beauvoiser, was tried on an ac cusation Otparricide, accompanied with horrible circumstances. by the Court of Assize of the Isere, the sittings of which cloud on Sunday last. " According to the public prosecutor, Jean Boudrier had set fire to a barn, in which his father, a paralytic old man, eighty I . ears of age, slept. On the fol!owing morning a few calcined lAurnan bones could scarcely be distinguished amongst the ruins. 44 The circumstances of this drama, which terminated with so terrible a scene, are spread over a period of 15 years, for it is so long since Boudrier, flying from his father's house, had taken leave with these atrocious words, I should like to see my father roasted like a toad w a frying-pan.' 6 ‘ The Jury found Boudrier guilty of the crime of which he was accused, but with MITIGATING CIRC UMSTAIICIS (CTRCUM STA NON ATTENUANTIS.) In consequence, the parricide, Jean Boudrier, has been sentenced to hard labour for life. We say, without hesitation, that such a verdict is a public scandal, a 1 proves in the Jury who delivered it a sham e f u l weakness ' t ilt incapacity, unworthy of the high office confided to it by ociety. " In this case only two verdicts were possible ; a verdict of acquittal, or one of unqualified culpability. " But to allow mitigating circumstances in favour of an act of parricide committed after fifteen years' infamous meditation is more than a fault, it is a crime against public morality, against society, since the protection cif virtue, daily becomes weaker in proportion to the indulgence so fatally given to crime."—La Gazette de France. A letter from Naples of May . 18th says—The King and the Queen, with some of the principal officers of the household, sailed on the 13th for Palermo, where they have already arrived. It is thought that the absence of their Majesties will not exceed eight or ten days. The iron: railway' from Naples to Rome has at length ob tained the approval of the Holy See. It is said that an arrange ment has been made between the two States, according to which, Naples will undertake the work and the expense, and Rome repay its share in annuities. An iron railway, from Rome to Florence, is spoken of as a thing quite resolved on.— Semaphorede Marseilles. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, MAY 26. First Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price. Price.

A de claration signed by 160 members and elders was pre sented, in which they prayed the General Assembly to adopt resolutions setting forth the rights and privileges of the Church, as secured by the statutes of the realm, and the manner in which they had been asserted by the Court of Session, in the cases of Strathbogie, Auchter arder, Daviot, and many others. Dr. Chalmers accord ingly moved resolutions to that effect, and in a long rambling speech, adverted to the ignorance of Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and the English generally, respecting the condition and privileges of the Scotch Church; attacked the landed proprietors of East Lothian and other counties, for excluding the wandering Non-Intrusionist preachers from the pulpits of the parish churches; expressed his determination to maintain to the last the supremacy of the Church, in spite of the deci sions of the Court of Session and the House of Lords ; and foretold in forcible language that unless the Govern ment and the law yielded to the claims of the Church, the country would be thrown into confusion and anarchy. Dr. Cook moved various resolutions as an amendment, and contended that the Church, being the first aggressor, should show signs of repentance by repealing the Veto Act, which infringes on civil and patrimonial rights, annul the depositions of the Strathbogie ministers, and continue, as she had hitherto done, to listen to the objec tions of the parish to a candidate, with a view to reject him if the objections were well-founded. A division took place at two in the morning, when 241 members voted for the motion of Dr. Chalmers, and 110 for the amend ment of Dr. Cook, giving a majority of 131 for Non-In trusion. This, therefore, settles the question as far as the Assembly is concerned. Sir James Graham stated last evening, that, as the subject was before the As sembly it, would be premature t 9 make any decla ration as to the proceedings, or say whether her Majesty's Government would make themselves re sponsible for a measure to heal the divisions in the Church of Scotland. The Assembly ,has now spoken out, and the Rigkt Hon. Baronet therefore may try his hand at healing,measures. Should he succeed in satisfy ing both ministers and people, his name would be im mortalised in Scotland. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.

ELECTION COMMITTEE. (TIIIS DAY.) LYME REGIS. The vote of James Whicker, objected to by the petitioners on the ground of bribery and treating, was again brought under the consideration of the Committee this morning. The evi dence against this vote was gone into yesterday. Mr. AUSTIN this morning addressed the Committee in sup port of the vote. Mr. CocKBURN addressed the Committee in reply, but he was stopped by The CHAramArr, who informed him that it was almost use less for the Learned Counsel to go on, as the Committee were but of one opinion with respect to the vote. Mr. Cociumax said he was extremely happy to be so inter rupted. The vote was then ordered to be struck off. Toulon letters of the 22d, dwell on the frequent to the lubber a l t y atesa collisions of French ships-of-war wen manoeuvring, attributed are frequent in management of the crews. "It is remarked with pain," French Correspondent, " that these acci dentsßrit:sh fleet, and it is our navy, and occur so rarely in the notknknown how to account for it, unless when the theory of navigation well, it be that our o ffi cers but are bad sailors powerful manoeuvring in a squadron, and this is a the just pretension to be reason for France, who has first rank, to have permanernt maritime p o w e r of the squadron s a t sea , a s , without practice, she will experience great reverses at the be ginning of a war.

S FeiPAY OF MEWS AND Vlttitt OffttntOn• " Who runs may read." FOTLEIGN. The Report of the Committee on the Bill relating to the Strasburg and Basle, Bordeaux and Teste, and Paris and Versailles (left bank) railroads has just been distributed amongst the Deputies, and the Bill will be discussed in a few days. The Committee allows that amongst all the Companies which have hitherto received assistance from the State, there is none that seems more entitled to favour than that of Strasburg and Basle. This line was the first, it says, of any extent executed in France. The Committee is of opinion that it will serve as a commencement of the great Government railroad from the Rhine to the Mediterranean, and has recommended that the required assistance should be granted. The Committee for prolonging the Paris and Rouen Rai- road to Havre recommends in its report, which is now before -the Chamber of Deputies, the adoption of the Government plan, with the exception of Art. 11, which gives the Company the right of establishing a special entrance into Paris, subject to the approbation of the Government, instead of being com pelled to adopt the Paris and Saint-Germain terminus. The Committee decided by a majority cf five to four, that this entrance could not be executed without the approbation of the Chambers. The Monaca,- publishes a report of General Changarnier, dated Blidah ( Africa), 17th inst., conveying an account of an expedition on the banks of the t;hiffa, from which he had just returned. The General broutht back 211 prisoners, a number of horses, and about 1,200 head of cattle. The eighl y-four civil and military prisoners unconditionally liberated by Abd el-Kader, arrived at Algiers on the 20th inst. The King of Sweden, says a letter of the 13th inst. takes a deep interest in the losses of the people of Hamburgh. The Stockholm Gazette eontains an appeal to the Swedish nation, in favour of Hamburgh, by the Swedish Council of that city. The Bordeaux Journals of the 24th inst. publish the lists of the subscribers in that city to the fund for the sufferers at Hamburgh. The amount already subscribed is 63,000 f. The Duke of Ahumada, formerly Minister of War under Fer dinand and during the regency of Maria Christina, died in Madrid on the 17th, of cancer in the tongue. A letter from Candia, April 27, states that several cases of hydrophobia have occurred in the island, and that in conse quence of this calamity all the dogs in it have been destroyed by order by the authorities. P.A.ILIZAWLENTAILY. . The Lords rec;v7da77;;;;;;Ttiiiipeiitions, and read the Customs Duties Drawback Bill a second time. They for warded one or two other measures a stage and then adjourned. In the Commons Sir A. Leith Hay gave notice of a motion anent the minutes of the General Assembly of the tirk, and asked Sir James Graham whether it were the intention of the Government to bring forward any measure to settle the dis graceful differences in the Kirk ? Sir James Graham declined to give any answer till Mr. Campbell's Bill comes on for second reading on June 15. Before going into Committee on the tariff, Mr. O'Connell pointed out that the result of the temperance movement in Ireland had been to decrease the Excise revenue, but increase the whole revenue of Ireland. The House in Committee got through the tariff as far as the timber duties, with one division on blubber, provoked by Mr. Lyall, the Member for London, and which resulted in confirming the Government proposition by 108 to 41. Mr. C. Buller moved, by agreement, at ten o'clock that Mr. Warburton's petition be referred to Mr. Roebuck's Committee. Thereupon Mr. Bailie Cochrane made a spirited, though not a satisfactory defence of his share in the Bridport transactions. Mr. Mitchell made a weak and wordy defence of his, leaving no favourable impression on those who heard him. Sir T. Wilde defended Mr. Warburton, and overturned Mr. Cochrane's and Mr. Mitchell's defence. Sir R. Peel, Lord J. Russell, Lord Palmerston, and Lord Stanley, all spoke, though Lord Palmerston's language was very qualified in favour of an inquiry. Sir R. Inglis Mr. C. Banker, who was quite vehement, and Sir. C. Burrell, were the voters against inquiry. On a division, it was agreed that an inquiry should take place, by 156 to 37 votes. But a doubt was raised by Sir R. Peel, whether the inquiry should be trusted to Mr. Roebuck's Committee or some other, and the debate on that part of the proposition was adjourned. The House sat till Half-past Two o'Clock. PUnLiC OVINZON. The Times has an article on the subject of the Queen's letter, in which after stating that " the conduct of the Go vernment in throwing the relief of the poor upon the voluntary charity of individuals, is censurable in the extreme," our Con temporary goes on to say :—" The whole proceeding of issuing the letter appears to have been peculiarly that of this Minister, for four Members of the Cabinet is the House of Lords, in cluding the Duke of Wellington and the Pr es id en t o f the Board of Trade, knew nothing about it when the subject was first mooted by Lord Kinnaird. What significancy does this give to the whole affair ! Has Sir J. Graham introduced any Bill to give a bona fide Poor-law to Scotland? No. Has he made any proposition for mitigating the restrictions which in tercept legal relief from the poor in England ? No. But Sir .1. Graham was among the most active of those who, in 1834, took away the rights which the poor till then possessed in the property of the country ; Sir J. Graham has ever since been a dogged supporter of that measure of spoliation ; and the same Sir J. Graham has now a Bill before the House of Commons for carrying out with increased stringency all its oppressive principles. This is the Minister who would tax the pious and the charitable to enable him to be generous to the hardhearted and the rich." The Herald says:—" The House of Commons was most industriously occupied on Thursday evening in degrading itself in public estimation. The popular branch of the Legislature refused to prosecute the bribed or the bribers at the last Ips wich election, voided on the ground of corruption ; it refused to institute further inquiry into the state of the constituency of that venal borough ; but it did not refuse that constituency an other opportunity of again indulging in its habitual impurity. We say habitual impurity, for twice within the last six years have Ipswich elections been voided in consequence of proven corruption. True it may be that there is no proof that the majority of Ipswich voters are purchaseable ; but the result of Parliamentary investigations establishes that there is on either side of politics in that notorious borough such a number of votes to be bought as will at any election enable candidates to purchase their return. Away then with the miserable fallacy that the majority of Ipswich electors being pure, ought not to remain unrepresented. They are not represented; venality turns the scales of Ipswich elections ; and venality alone is therefore represented." The Post expresses its displeasure at the recent conduct of Ministers in the following terms :—" We are far from wishing to be alarmists, or from desiring to create apprehension with out abundant and pressing cause for the same ; but this cause we think we see in some of the language lately used by those whose influence we acknowledge, and whose talents we re • spect. We shall explain ourselves by quoting part of the ob servations of Mr. Labouchere upon the statements lately made by the Prime Minister and the Vice-President of the Board of Trade. The inconsistency of her Majesty's Ministers,' said Mr. Labouchere, lies in this : that in bringing forward their measures with regard to cattle, they adopted the language of those who advocated free trade on the broadest principles. They insisted on the necessity of buying in the cheapest mar kets, and that the people should obtain provisions wherever they were able to be procured.' We have not observed that either Sir R. Peel or Mr. Gladstone, who, it after wards appeared, were the Ministers specially referred to by Mr. Labouchere, took any opportunity to correct that Right Hon. Gentleman, or to deny that they had adopted the lan guage of those who advocate free trade on the broadest prin ciples. Now, we should be very sorry to exaggerate, or to do any injustice respecting what may fairly be supposed to be the views of the present Ministers in regard to what is called free trade. We certainly do not think that they would at present consent to the ruinous changes which the party of Mr. La bouchere would gladly carry into effect at present, it they could ; but when we find them adopting, or allowing to be imputed to them by a man of Mr. Labouchere's eminence, the broadest principles of the free traders, how can the public have the con fidence which we think they ought to be able to have in the continued resistance of these ruinous changes by the present Ministers ? It is with the deepest and keenest regret that we observe such a statement as that of Mr. Labouchere passing uncontradicted." The Chronicle, speaking on the subject of Ireland, ob serves :—" 'fake a man from this country, no matter what his party or political opinions may be, into Ireland, and he soon arrives at the conclusion that the disorders are attributable to the misconduct of the gentry. The late Sir Walter Scott, for instance, ,as Mr. Lockhart informs • us, had not been long in Ireland when he became convinced that justice had not been done to the people. Lord Wharneliffe last night, when a question was put to him on the subject of the outrages in the county of Tipperary, said that he had observed the prevalence of a better feeling among the landed gentry of Ireland towards their tenants. • There, however,' said his Lordship, 'still remained evil dispositions productive of crime, that were the growth of former bad feelings and wicked misleadings, and which nothing but 4 continuance of generous treatment and ' conciliatory conduct on the part of those who possessed in fluence, could effectually remove.' And, added his Lordship significantly, while admitting that a very beneficial change had taken place generally in the feelings of the landlords, yet he was compelled to confess that there were some who exer cised the rights of property in that country in a manner which could not be justified, Those parties were not con fined to anyone class of l olitical opinions ; there were amongst them not only Tories, but Liberals, at least Liberals in speech, whatever they might be in practice. The system generally, however, has much mitigated.' Property has its duties as well as' ite rights. When its duties are attended to, such outrages as are committed in Tipperary never take place." We take the following from the Advertiser :—" One wise and liberal measure regarding corn would have been worth all the peddling reductions upon the innumerable articles com prised under the tariff's twenty heads • but the people are not so silly as to be imposed upon by the Offer of many trifling ad vantages, while the one substantial blessing of cheap bread is cruelly withheld from them. If Sir Robert Peel admits that population has outstripped subsistence,' it is his duty, as a Minister, to do his utmost towards advancing the latter in a sufficient proportion to meet the wants of the former ; and this is not to be done by diminishing the duties on colonial asses, or reducing the price of quassia and other commodities which the poor probably never heard of, and have no occasion for. If corn were rendered cheap, meat would experience a reduc tion of price, and if the Premier were only to take the honest and obvious means of increasing subsistence to meet the demands of a growing population, he would boldly propose a law for making bread accessible to every industrious member of the community. MONEY—TIVIDE — COIVEMERCE. The Earl of St. Germain's extensive estate in Cornwall, has been purchased by W. A. H. Arundell, Esq., of Leyton park, Devon. At the meeting of the Charitable and Provident Society for the Deaf and Dumb, held yesterday at Freemason's Hall, the Report stated the receipts for the past year at 1581. 2s. tip., and the amount of expenditure 110/. 17s.

Mr. Combe also stated that from the great deficiency of the higher men:al organs in the New Hollanders and North American Indians, it was a moral impossibility that they could receive the truths of religion, or become in any shape civilized. To-morrow will be King Charles's restoration-day. Eve lyn speaks of the King's entry into London, " after a long exile and calamitous suffering of seventeen years. Upwards of 20,000 horse and foot attended him through the city. Monday will be the anniversary of the death of Voltaire, who died in 1778, aged , 84. Lord Saltoun s prize of 10/. was awarded at the Melodist's Club on Thursday to Mr. Hobbs for the best canzonet, and the second prize to Mr. Blewitt. A letter from Antwerp, May 21, states that shortly after the Milton brig, an English vessel, had come to anchor in the harbour, the mate was brought to land, under a charge of having ill-treated the pilot. The latter declared that he had been abused, beaten with a stick, and placed in irons. The English Consul had interfered in the business. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. Prices of the Funds are steady to-day, although no bu•itiess of ruonutit is going forward, and they appear to have recovered from the depression of yesterday afternoon. Consuls are 921 92g for Aloney, and 93/ for the opening. Three per Cents. Reduced, 911 916 ; Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1001 ; ditto New, 101 101 g ; Bank Stock 167 108 ; India Bonds, 21 22 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 38 40, and Adver tised, 34 36 premium. Scarcely a bargain has been made in Foreign Securities. Some purchases have, however, been effected in Dutch Two and.a-Half per Cents. at 52k, and in the Five per Cents. at 101 i. The market generally is firm. The intelligence from Mexico by the Solway, which appears in another place, has had a favourable effect - on the quota tions of the Bonds, which are 371 for Money, and 371 i for the Account. The absence of the ex. President from the country will doubtless do much towards restoring tranquillity; but the report that Santa Anna is about to attempt to raise a fresh loan, arguts badly for the bondholders, since be has not, in previous exi gencies, scrupled to use the money set apart tor them exclu sively. It must, however, be allowed that the present Go vernment have shown the greatest disposition to keep faith with the foreign creditors, and from all appearances sill not fail to do so as long as it is not hardly pressed. No reason exists for legitimate holder s parting with their bonds, but every circumstance forbids time bargains. 'Fite Railway Shares have been' in better demand ; the sales include Great Western, 90/ 91, New, 62 1 /, Fifths, 9%; South Western, 63 ; South Eastern Scrip, 0:4 61, ; Eastern Counties, 9 1 4 ; Brighton, 354 ; Birmingham and Derby, 50 ; York and North Midland, 921; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 52. Portuguese Five per Cent. Bonds are quoted, 3sq,-; Spanish Five per Cents., 23; the Three per Cents., 234. No others are mentioned. As has been surmised, a speculation is being got up in Spanish 'Three per Cent. Stock, on the supposition that the dividend promised on the 30th June will be forthcoming. The returns of average assets and liabilities of the Bank of England, for the twelve weeks ending the 21st inst., show an increase in the circulation over that for the period ending 23d April of 301,000/., the difference between 17,536,0001. and 17,235,0001. ; the deposits are less by 238,0001. the difference between 8,045,0001. and 8,238,0a0/. ; the securities also have decreased 532,000/., the difference between 21,366,0001. and 21,898,0001. ; while the stock of bullion is greater by 442,0001., the difference between 7,032,000/. and 6,590,0001.; the total liabilities are greater by 63,000/., and the assets smaller by 90,0001., making a decrease on the rest of 153,000/., the cl,ffer ence between 2,817,000/. and 2,970,000/. By a comparison with the corresponding period of 1841, the circulation is greater by 1,221,000/. ; the deposits by 820,000/. ; the securities, less by 451,000/. ; and the bullion shows an increase of 1,111,0001. _ _ Ky the steamer " Solway," letters have been received from Jamaica of the date of the 14th ; Barbadoes, 16th ; Trinidad, 15th ; and Demerara, 11th of April. From the three first colonies the intelligence is still satisfactory, and the expectations which had been formed of an abundant crop in the present sea son appeared likely to be realized ; the negroes were working well, and quiet had been perfectly restored. From Demerara, on the contrary, the accounts were of the worst character, and the planters it would seem are fast reaching ruin, owing to the greatly depreciated value of their property if offered for sale, and the high cost of the produce if cultivated. Considerable anxiety existed for the meeting of the " Combined Court," which was to take place on the 30th April, and it was hoped that the investigation which would then be entered into as to the cause of the distress, might lead to the adoption of some measure of relief. No alteration for the better had been made in the method of managing these steam-vessels, and the intercolonial communi cation was as bad as ever. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. it A ILWAYS. Paid.

His Lordship varied the order of the Court below, by directing only half the amount to be paid into Court. T e CouRT then proceeded to hear appeals. VICE-CHANCERY=-(THIS I)AY.)

The return to the mandamus denied t h at R o b ert Cl ay t on w as entitled to any compensation, inasmuch as the Court still existed, and he was still practising in the s ame, an d t h at t h e on l y a lt era ti on made in its constitu tion was, that whereas formerly certain persons had possessed a monopoly SOLICITOR- f o h E e ba;lr,htehaSt of the practice of that Court, that monopoly hail been broken up, and the Court bad been thrown open to the profession generally.

The Atrroux EY-GENERAL contended that the return was a good one, that there was nothing to show that Clayton, practised as an attorney of 'Westminster Hall, and that, for aught that appeared to the contrary, he might be practising solely by virtue of his former admission as an at torney of the Court in question. He denied that Clayton held an office within the meaning of the Act, and argued that if Clayton were entitled to compensation, every tradesman whose m , nopoly of trading had been broken down by having the mar kets thrown open in certain towns, would be equally entitled to compensation. The Coital took time to consider its judgment. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS RAY) IN RE THOMAS WARE. The insolvent was described as a surgeon and chemist. carry ing on business in Hoxton New Town. His debts and liabili ties were described as amounting to about 8701., and his assets were comparatively trifling. He attributed his insolvency to the fact of losses from speculations which he entered into with regard to the Cornish mines, which had been the ruin of so many; as appeared in the investigations in Cave's bankruptcy. His petition was unopposed. A few trifling debts having beets inserted in the schedule, the insolvent was ordered to be discharged forthwith. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

SUICIDE ni A FEMALE.—Yesterday evening Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Chequers, Toihill-street, West minster, on view of the body of Sarah Adams, aged 25.. Mary Lynch, of No. 3, King's Head-court, Broadway, Westminster, stated that she lodged next door to the deceased. Last Thurs day afternoon, about one o'clock, witness was called to the deceased by her landlady. Deceased was lying in the bed, ap parently in a dying state. Witness found two papers marked " opium," " poison," concealed in the bosom part of deceased's gown. Mary Beazley, of No. 3, King's Head-court, Broad way, Westminster, corroborated the foregoing evidence, and stated that deceased's lips were quite black, as if from the effect of poison. Last Wednesday, deceased told witness that she was suffering under great poverty, and that she could not bear it any longer ; the first twopence she got she would certainly pus•. chase some poison and destroy herself. Deceased had latterly been compelled to get a subsistence by walking the streets, but always expressed the utmost disgust at that mode of lite. Verdict—Ttmporary insanity. A thief by profession, named Ilene Parisou, but rejoicing- in the soubriquet of Baise-la-Lune, who was libe rated only six days ago from the prison of Melun, after five years' imprisonment, was on Friday arrested, whilst engaged in a robbery in the apartment of a merchant, in the Rue de la Verrerie. Having learned that the merchant had gone out early, and was not to return until after the closing 'of the Exchange, he succeeded, by the aid of false keys, in getting into the apartment, where he emptied a cupboard, a chest of drawers, secured two watches, and collected together some jewels, and made three parcels, of the other objects which he thought suited his purpose. Satisfied with his exertions, and still more satisfied with the goods i he had become master of, he gently opened the door to depart, when, to his great astonishment, he found himself in face of two officers of the service de surete, who informed him that they had followed him from the morning, and had already arrested the accom lice he had left at the door below.

MELAINUILOLY DEATH OF SAMUEL CLELAND, ESQ. —We are greatly grieved to announce the death of this respected gentleman, on Friday, by an accident as sudden as fatal. It appears that he was inspecting the pull. ing down of some old houses at his splendid resi dence, Stormount, and, while doing so, by some un fortunate mischance the wall, on which the workmen were engaged, fell, while he was in its immediate neighbour hood, and killed him on the spot; severely injuring besides one of the workmen. The deceased was in the prime of life, a ma gistrate of the counties of Down and Antrim, and his sudden decease will be a source Of grief to .a very wide circle of friends ' and acquaintances.—Belfast Chronicle. PARIS, MAY 26.—Very recent intelligence, re ceived in Paris this morning from Barcelona, creates great un • easiness for the tranquillity of that province. The Captain- General has, however, taken every precaution to repel any act of aggression, and to check any tumult, by ordering reinforce from the neighb our i ng garrisons ments to march to Barcelona , and stron:r places of Gerona, Figueras, &c. The French force on the coast is also to be increased. A letter from Vienna, in the Augsburg Gazette, says—" As a means for meeting the extraordinary expenses of the railroads, the Government is about to issue bills of from 50 t o 5,000 forms each, similar to bank-notes, payable to bearer, but carrying an interest of 3 per cent, per annum. They are to have on their backs a table, indicating their precise value, including interest, on each day of their circulation, at which they may be received by the public, and will be paid by the Treasury. T , ,vo or three days ago, says the Commerce, a young female, about 24 years of age, of the higher class of s ociety, suddenly asked her mother, whether, if she should com mit a great fault, she would be forgiven. The mother, taken by surprise, gave an evasive answer to the question. Before the end of the day, the daughter threw herself out of a window on the upper story of the house, and was killed by the fall. No cause for this act of desperation has transpired. The Baroness Biel and Lord Stewart arrived in London yesterday by the General Steam Navigation Com pany's mail packet the Countess of Lonsdale, Captain R. S.

Hume Weatherhead, IvLD., Member of the .Royil College of Physicians of London, 6-c. In the midst of all the corruptions which, from the history of every age, would seem necessarily to result from the progress of what is called civilised society, the voice of Nature makes itself heard from time to time ; but the same record also teaches us that another voice, not so still, the voice of worldly mindedness, comes, like a brawling Stentor, sooner or later, to drown the benign suspiration, and the whole some dictates which the former would inculcate, are scarcely uttered ere they are silenced by the sophistry and outcry of the self-interests they oppose. These, sentiments are prompted by the reading of the little, modest pamphlet before us. Dr. Weatherhead, de serting the region of drugs, all of which we know to be more or less poisonous, asserts with a manly em phasis the empire of Nature ; he shows us by what simple means the Alma Mater of all mankind accom plishes her healing purposes, when the body of the first of her creatures, man, labours under diseases arising from impurities of the humours, by endowing one of her simplest and most abundant productions with remedial properties of not less power than safety —and that is water. As the able writer observes, " Water is the natural beverage of all animals ; whole nations, as the Maho metans and Hindoos, use it alone as their ordinary drink. Unlike spirituous or fermented liquors, it does not sate the appetite ; but, on the contrary, ren ders it keener. It is a fluid that requires no diges tion, for it is not necessary it should undergo any changes ; it is the natural menstruum which holds in solution both what is essential for the nutrition and healthy functions of the body, and what has become refuse after having served its destined office and in tention in the animal economy." In skilful hands this element, when used externally in different ways, can be made to evince two appa rently contradictory properties as a medicine—firstly, in abating the redundant heat of a part inflamed ; and secondly, in producing abundant perspiration ; and when taken internally, there is no therapeutic agent that possesses such power in cleansing the blood of all its impurities through the means of the skin and kidneys. It is by its employment in these several ways that Dr. Weatherhead shows the great superiority` of the Hydropathic treatment of Gout over every other mode of cure, and being himself a severe sufferer from the disease, he speaks according to the best of all rules—that of personal experience. Therefore, let no one too thoughtlessly despise a remedy of so common a nature as water, for in the words of an elegant modern writer, " there is nothing really worth having or caring about in this world that is uncom mon." 'We cordially recommend the Learned Doc tor's pamphlet to the attention of the gouty. TENNYSOIV'S POEMS. 2 Vols. Moxon, London, 1842. Nothwithstanding his frequent affectations and puerilities, Mr. Tennyson possesses much of the fancy and feeling of the true poet ; and, could he but learn " the useful art to blot," might not despair of win ning a very • enviable reputation. His most beset ting defect is his want of judgement, which is con stantly leading him into absurdities, and inducing him to mistake eccentricity for feeling, and mere silliness for simplicity. IVhen he trusts to his own natural emotions, the language they sugge4 to him, is almost invariably chaste, forcible, and appro priate ; but, unfortunately, he is fond of going out of his way in search of crude conceits, and hyperbolical images, and then his mode of expression becomes not merely affected, but absolutely ridiculous. He is a dabbler in metaphysics, too, and splits upon the same rock on which the genius of Shelley foundered— namely, Mysticism, though it is but fair to add that he has no passages so hopelessly obscure as those which perplex us in every page of the " Revolt of Islam." With a little difficulty . we can just contrive to guess at Mr. Tennyson's meanings, which in Shelley's case was next to impossible, for his was not mere obscurity, but a deep Ciminerian gloom, unillumined by even the faintest ray of intelligence. Many readers of verse have, we know, a great fancy for this cloudy inysti cisrn, and because they cannot comprehend it, take for granted that it must be something very profound and sublime ; but we are of the number of those who prefer the obvious and the intelligible, being firmly convinced that the basis of all true poetry is common sense, and that even in its wildest excesses, the imagination—as we find it in Shakspeare—must still be amenable to the laws of the understanding. Hence the very passages we most admire in Mr. Ten nyson's poems are, we suspect, precisely those of which he himself thinks the least. We turn with in difference from the ambitious and elaborate mysticism of his " Palace of Art," with whose far-fetched con ceits, and quaint, hazy imagery, it is evident that he has taken a world of pains ; and dwell instead on his exquisite description of " Mariana in the Moated Grange," which has been written, apparently without effort, and whose every line is instinct with the truest feeling. But our author's best poem is decidedly the one entitled " Locksby Hall, wherein strength and earnestness of purpose are visible throughout, re lieved and softened off by occasional touches of infi nite tenderness. There is no mysticism—no cloudi ness here—no hunting about for quaint images, or striking ideas, striking only because they are eccen tric ; the poet is hurried straight onward on the broad, rapid tide of emotion, and expresses himself in the exact language that truth and nature dictate. We entertain so high an opinion of the elegance, the variety, the alternately reflective and impassioned spirit, which characterise this poem, that we unhesi tatingly give it the preference over the majority of those that have appeared within the last ten years. TO THE EDITOR OF , THE SUN. Six,-A very odd mistake (probably of the printer) appears in The Sun of last evening under the head " Law and Police," in which it is stated that Lady Galmoy brought an action for alimony against " Sir Thomas Staples, L.L.D., commonly called Lord Galmoy." Sir Thomas Staples, Bart., happens:to be Queen's Advocate for Ireland, and was in that cause Counsel for the impugnant, Garet Butler, calling himself Lord Galmoy. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.

Captain Frederick Villiers, son of the Earl of Jersey, are, we hear, not likely to be solemnised until the close of the season The preliminaries for the marriage have been arranged. DEATH OF VICE-ADMIRAL HALL.—This•venerable flag officer died at Westgate House, near Chichester, on Mon • day, in his 77th year. The Admiral was one of the oldest officers in the navy, having entered the service in 1772. He was promoted to post rank 18th November, 1799, Rear-Ad miral 18th July, 1830, and Vice Admiral 10th January, 1837, taking rank next to Vice-Admiral Sir A. Drummond, K. C. H. Mr. George Buckle, Scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, who has so' highly distinguished himself at the late classical and mathematical examinations, is a son of the late Captain Buckle R.N., and was educated under the Rev. Dr. Rice, and the Rev. W. Webster. CAMBRIDGE.—We have great pleasure in stating, that it is probable Sir Robert and Lady Peel will honour Cam - bridge with their company at the Installation Festival in July. Amongst the distinguished persons who will visit us on the occasion we have already named the Duke of Wellington and I the Lord Chancellor, and we would now add to them the Duke of Buccleueh and the American and Dutch Ministers. Cambridge Chronicle. THUNDER AND HAIL STORM. During the evening of Friday last, between seven and eight o'clock, a se vere storm of thunder, lightning, and hail, passed over the village of Mattersea, and the adjoining villages, near Retford, which did considerable damage. The thunder and lightning were ex tremely awful, but the injury done to vegetation was by . hail, which was from two to three inches in thickness, and consisted more of large and irregularly formed pieces of ice, than of common hail ; and such was its density, that, on the following morning, it lay exposed in large masses under the hedges in every direction. DEATH FROM PLAYING AT KISS IN THE RING.— Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Peg well Cottage, Dalston, on the body of Mr. Benfield, aged eight years. Sarah Benfield said that deceased was her sister, and on the morning of the 25th ult. was playing with several boys and girls, at the game of kiss in th e r i ng , w h en , to avoid being kissed by one of her playmates, she stumbled and fell backwards, her head receiving a severe wound by fall ing on a stone. She was removed home, and a Mr. Codicil, surgeon, attended her. Ultimately dangerous symptoms set in, which produced blindness, and she died in very great pain on Wednesday last. Verdict—" A cc id enta l death. " HOSIERY AND SILK TRADE.—We think the silk glove branch has amended a shade, but the hosiery trade in 'almost every branch is in a truly lamentable state. If anything, the cut-up is the best, but then that branch is destroying all others. It will scarcely be believed that plain silk-liose are made cut up. The father of the knotted trade, after struggling with difficulty upon difficulty in that branch for years, has de parted this life. We have long considered him as the main pivot of keeping this declining branch together by his attention and devotion to business, and what may be termed raking up employment froth the warehouses.—Nottingham Journal. ANTI-AIALTnustANs.—A man living in the neigh bourhood of Brookborough, named George Kilday, was twice married : his first wife had ten children born to him, and at her death he had sixteen grandsons ; the second wife, on Sa turday last, had the twelfth child born to him—making in all 22 children, 16 sons and 6 daughters, all in good health and spirits. —Dublin Evening Post. HAMBURGII SUBSCRIPTIONS.—The subscription of the King of• Denmark for the Hamburgh sufferers has been erroneously stated by the papers to be in English money 150,0001. sterling. Ti,e sum given was 100,000 marks ; the value of a mark being only Is. 6d. British, it should have consequently stated the 100,000 marks as equal to 7,5001. starling. The Greenock and Paisley papers contain accounts of a severe thunder storm which occurred in ar.d near these towns last Monday. It does not seem, however, that any se rious damage or loss of life was occasioned by it. The storm was not felt very severely at Glasgow. A VALUABLE BUSTLE.--dome amusement was oc casioned one day this week by the town crier proclaiming the loss of a lady's bustle, and offering a reward for its restoration. But great was the surprise of all who heard the public orator when he announced that this elegant appendage contained a large sum of money i n no t es an d go ld. It is to be hoped that this notice may meet the eye of the finder, who is, perhaps, unmsare of the value or use of the article.—Monmouthshire Beacon. ~` L Tti later, b* * Pogit F 4-1 tird L a , *i ll) at R e , 11 1 % 9 thos, Table Si t ) s es e e r r '"P La -l ute L I s e ' W.
