Her Majesty has granted to this university a new charter, which is likely to excite great interest and at tention in the educational world. As our readers are doubtless aware, persons who have graduated for ho nours at Oxford and other universities are sometimes compelled to refrain from taking a degree owing to their conscientious objections to subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles. By the new charter the Council will be em powered to confer the respective degrees of Bachelor of Arta, Master of Arts, Bachelor of Laws, and Doctor of Laws, on any persons who have graduated at Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Trinity College, Dublin, or any other university in the kingdom. Another point in the new charter, which will be of great service, is, that the Council may institute examinations for certificates of proficiency in any subject which they may think fit, con nected with the Sciences or Arts—such as Architec ture, Civil Engineering, Chemistry, Botany, Geology and Mineralogy, Zoology, Geography, Political and Physical, Navigation, and Hydrography. The examination for certificates of proficiency was one of the original designs of the Council, which they were prevented from carrying out under the old charter. DREADFUL SUICIDE OF MAJOR VERITY, LATE OF THE 92D HIGHLANDERS.—On Saturday Mr. H. M. Wakley held a❑ inquest at 21, North terrace, Thurloe square, Brompton, on the body of Major J. L. Verity, aged 72, late of the 92d Highlanders, who destroyed himself under distressing circumstances. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had been suffering for some years from disease of the urethra, and been attended by Mr. Cahill, and latterly by Mr. Ferguson, surgeon to the Queen. On Wednesday he was exceed ingly ill, and complained of excruciating pain, which continued to increase; but on the following day Mr. Ferguson performed an operation, and he seemed much relieved, but towards evening the pain returned, and he walked up and down the room in much agony. Mr. Cahill was sent for, and attended, but while he was gone for some medicine deceased, being very anxious for his return, repeatedly asked if he had come back. At length, between four and five o'clock on Friday morn ing, the deceased left the room to look out of the draw ing -room window to see if Mr. Cahill was coming; in a minute or two afterwards the family was alarmed by a discharge of fire-arms, and deceased was found in the back drawing-room on the floor, on his back, quite dead, with a duelling pistol in his right hand, having shattered his head to pieces, the pistol having been dis charged in his mouth. Deceased had been very eccen tric in his manners, and of a very excitable temperament. He had suffered from a sun-stroke in the East Indies, and a second one two years age while at work in his garden. Verdiet—" Temporary insanity."

The following areeX;raei;TrO the second report of this Committee of Investigation, and which is to be pre sented to the meeting at York, on Thursday next. Your committee feel it to be their duty, without further delay, to report upon certain matters, some of which, in their judgment, require the immediate atten tion of the shareholders.' 1. The application of . the funds of this company in the purchase of 2,345 shares in the Sunderland Dock Company. 2. The allotment and mode of disposal of shares. 3. Purchases of iron rails for the Newcastle and Ber wick Railway. 4. Certain alleged payments to landowners and con tractors, on which the committee deem it right to impart information. Your committee refer to their former report as the sanction by the shareholders of a subscription by this company to the Sunderland Dock for 3,000 shares, or 75,000/. That report also stated that 2,345 additional shares were purchased by Mr. Hudson in the Sunderland Dock undertaking, principally in the year 1847, and transferred into ,the joint names of himself and two other directors, and that calls had been paid out of the funds of this company, not only on account of the 3,000 shares originally agreed to be subscribed for, but also upon the additional 2,345 shares. It was also stated in your committee's former report that 62,8171.10 x. had been paid out of the funds of this company, up to the 31st of December last, on account of the Dock transactions, and that the amount had been increased, at the date of that report, to 91,799/. 18s. lid. There is now due a further sum of 5,862/. 10s. for an unpaid call on these 2,345 shares. Your committee have referred to the' minute books of the company to ascertain whether any resolution had been previously come to by the Board of Directors to increase the interest held by this company in the Sunder land Dock, but they do not find either a resolution or any intimation whatever that such a step was contemplated on the part of the company; and all the directors deny any knowledge of such a purpose. Your committee direct attention to the fact that, although Mr. Hudson states he made the purchase of those shares on behalf of this company, no minute of his having done so appears in the books of the directors until more than two years afterwards—not, indeed, until the appointment of a Committee of Investigation was known to be in contemplation—and then in terms which assume the previous ignorance of the, Board. The calls which became due from time to time upon the Dock shares were paid out of the funds of the company, and entered in their books when made; but were kept from the knowledge of the shareholders by excluding the amount from all the half-yearly accounts until February last, when the sum of 62,6874 10s. was en tered, but no information was even then given to the shareholders that any further interest had been taken in the dock than the 3,000 shares originally sanctioned. It will be seen from the evidence that the transfers of the 2,345 shares were taken in the joint names of Mr. Hudson, Mr. Davies, and Mr. Richardson, but that these transfers have not yet been delivered to the Sunderland Dock Company for registration. Your committee have taken pains to ascertain whether the shareholders present at the half-yearly meeting in February last (when the company sanctioned the Bar Moor Branch Bill, in which was a clause authorising an enlarged subscription for the Sunderland Dock to the extent of 150,000/) had any information before them to justify the statement that they approved of the subscrip tion to that amount; and your committee do not hesitate to express their opinion that no such information was afforded them, the clause never having been read or its existence referred to in any way at the meeting. They have, therefore, arrived at the conclusion, that what was passed at that meeting ought not to preclude the share holders from now determining the amount to be sub scribed by this company to the Sunderland Dock under taking. Your committee, however much they regret the indi vidual consequences which may follow from the company refusing to adopt these 2,345 shares, are of opinion that they ought not to be adopted, and that steps should be taken to recover the amount which has been illegally paid. . . . . The Newcastle and Berwick Railway was projectedfor the purpose of extending the line of railway communica tion to B-rwick. During the autumn of 1844 opposition was raised to the scheme of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, and a rival line was projected. This rendered a larger out lay necessary than the 700,000/, which had been first contemplated, and the estimate of the engineer was in creased. The directors of the Newcastle and Berwick Bill, therefore, increased the subscription of contract for the Newcastle and Berwick line to an amount equal to the increased estimate. Previous to the Bill being in troduced into Parliament, Mr. Hudson executed the subscription-contract deed for 8,000 shares; Mr. Davies, the deputy-chairman of the Newcastle and Darlington Company, executed it for 4,000 shares ; and Mr. James Richardson, another director, also executed the deed for 2.000 shares; but neither Mr. Hudson, Mr. Davies, nor Mr. Richardson executed it in respect of the shares to which they were severally entitled as holders of New castle and Darlington shares. Mr. Thomas Backhouso, Mr. George Dodsworth, and the late Mr. Richard Nicholson, who were all more or less connected with the Newcast'e and Darlington and York and North Midland Railways, which were at that time inti mately associated in management, also executed the subscription contract fur 2,000 shares each; thus making an additional subscription for 20,000 shares in the names of the six parties mentioned. The reason for this execution of the subscription con tract has been fully explained to your Committee by the solicitors to the company, as having been merely for the purpose of meeting the standing orders of Parliament; and it has been proved to your Committee that no bona file payment of deposits was made by the parties subscribing for the twenty thousand shares. If any eh , ques were given by the parties, which is very doubt ful, the operation was a mere device, usual at that period with the directors of railway companies having to comply with the standing orders of Parliament; and none of the six subscribers for these twenty thousand shares pro• tossed, at the time, that they executed the deed on their individual account. . . . . Your committee now find that instead of the register of shareholders corresponding with the statement of the chairman, the number of registered;shares has been in creased to 56.000, being more by 14,000 shares than the number which the chairman's statement would justify. The means which have been adopted for carrying on and concealing from the shareholders this operation while it was being performed, are such as call for the strongest reprobation. If the register of shareholders had been made up, as it ought to have been, at the first meeting of the Newcastle and Berwick Company, in August 1845, such an issue could not have taken place without at once exciting attention. The evidence before your committee establishes the fact that Mr. Hudson has taken for his own use from the Newcastle and Berwick Company the extraordinary number of 10,894 shares, while the number to which the resolution of the company over which he presided entitled him, was 937 only. Of these 10,894 shares, 2,965 were obtained by him before the meeting of August, 1846, while the shares were as yet scrip, and when, as will be seen by the evidence, they were selling at very large premiums. When the month of August arrived, Mr. Hudson had disposed of all his scrip —it must be assumed at these large premiums —for, accord ing to the secretary's evidence, all the scrip came in for registration in the names of other parties, and not in the name of Mr. Hudson. Your committee can not characterise this appropriation of scrip by Mr. Hudson on his own individual authority, and for his own use, other than as a most flagrant abuse of the con fidence reposed in him by the shareholders. The mode in which Mr. Hudson appropriated to him self the other 7,929 shares is equally reprehensible. The register of shares had not been sealed at the meeting in August, 1845. Mr. Hudson, however (unknown to his brother directors), as stated by them, required the secre tary to enter upon the register of the company the names of parties as shareholders whom be well knew could have no right to be there. His own name was inserted for different lots, amounting in the whole to 5,184 shares. The names of the solicitors to the com pany ware placed on the register as holders of 1,546 shares, when they were not so in fact. The same was done to the extent of 815 shares in the name of Mr. Hudson's London broker; 85 is the name of the secre tary of the company; 80 in the name of the then manager of the bank of which Mr. Hudson was chair man; and 420 in the name of the late Mr. Richard Ni cholson. The committee have it in evidence from the secretary, as well as from the solicitors, that these en tries of shares in their names were made by Mr. Hud son's sole authority for his own profit; and it appears that as Mr. Hudson effected sales, ho sent or wrote to the secretary to prepare certificates, which were made out concurrently with the transfer of shares to the pur chasers; and the proceeds were appropriated to his own use. _ The committee have obtained evidence of the value of shares in the market at the respective periods when Mr. Hudson was thus secretly carrying on these operations, and they refer the shareholders to the quotations. It appears from this evidence that the profits realised by him on those transactions must have amounted to 145,7041., if the sales were effected at market prices. . . AS TO TIIE ALLOTMENT OF THE BRAIdDLING JUNCTION SHARES. The Brandling Junction Railway was purchased by Mr. Hudson on the 13th of August, 1844. On the 16th of the same month, at a meeting of the directors of the Newcastle and Darlington Company, at which were present Mr. Hudson, Mr. Davies, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Oxley, it was resolved that, "In considera tion of Mr. Hudson transferring the purchase to the Newcastle and Darlington Junction Company on the same terms on which he purchased the said railway, the directors of this company agree ,to give him 500 shares of the new shares proposed to be issued by this company to pay the amount of purchase." At a meeting of the Newcastle and Darlington Com pany, held on the 4th of February, 1845 , the purchase was confirmed, and 22,000 shares in that company were created at the meeting, for payment of the Brandling Junction Railway. These 22,000 shares were appro priated among the proprietors of the Newcastle and Darlington Company, in the proportion of ony new share to each holder of Newcastle and Darlington stock, and thus disposed of 20,000 of the 22,000 Brandling Junction bhares. It was then resolved " that the surplus be placed at the disposal of the directors." . . On the sth of March following the Board of Di• rectors, at a meeting at which were present Mr. Hud son, Mr. Davies, Mr. Richardson, and Mr. Flews, placed the 2,000 shares at the entire disposal of the chairman. The 2,000 shares thus given to Mr. Hudson were worth 21Z premium at the time of the appropriation to him, being equivalent to a bonus of 41,0001.; but it is stated to your committee by Mr. Close that Mr. Hudson gave shares out of the 2,000 to the following parties : Mr. Davies (director) ... 100 Mr. James Richardson (director)... ... 100 Mr. Close (secretary) ... 50 Mr. Harrison (engineer) 25 Mr. Robert Stephenson (engineer) 25 Mr. Wood (director) ... ... 20 The committee have thus brought under the notice of the shareholders the leading facts attending this transaction. AS TO THE PURCHASE OF IRON RAILS FOR THE NEW CASTLE AND BERWICK RAIL W AY. Your committee refer the sharelvilders to the evi dence and correspondence upon this subject, from which it appears that on the II th of January, 1845, and im mediately before the Bill for making the Newcastle and Berwick Railway was submitted to Parliament, Mr. Hudson concluded a contract which had been partly made in the previous month of October with Messr s . Thompson, Forman, and Co., iron manufacturers, of London, for the purchase of 10,000 tons of iron rails, at 61. 10s. per ton. The first meeting of which any record appears of the provisional committee of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, was on the 30th of January, 1845, at which were present, Mr. Hudson , Mr. D avies, and Mr. James Richardson, when it was resolved to ad vertise for tenders for the supply of 20 , 000 tons of iron rails, and an advertisement accordingly appeared in the Railway Times of the Ist of Feb., 1845, signed by Mr. Hudson, as chairman, requiring tenders to to be sent in. On the sth of March the same parties, with the add i . Lion of Mr. Plews, assembled, and tenders were received from various persons. Messrs. Thompson and Forman then sent in a tender, which was accepted, for 14,000 tons, to be supplied at 121. per ton. Four other parties were permitted to supply 1,000 tons each. It appears that by arrangement with Thompson and Forman, Mr. Hudson was interested in this contract to the extent of 7,000 tons, that quantity having been sup plied out of the 10,000 tons purchased by Mr. Hudson at 61. 108. per ton. The profit on the supply of these 7,000 tons would amount to 38,5001,, and Mr. Hudson must have known that he was acting illegally in being interested in any such contract with a company of which he was chairman. PAYMENTS FOR LAND AND TO CONTRACTORS ON THE NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK RAILWAY. Your committee, having referred so fully to the Newcastle and Berwick share allotments, would now direct attention to the mode in which the general funds of that company were dealt with at the concurrent period. The first account presented to the shareholders of the Newcastle and Berwick Company was for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1645. That acconnt, which will be found in the evidence, contained the follow isg item among the list of payments:— " Land-37,3501.," and is signed as " Audited and allowed, January, 1846, " THOMAS BARSTOW - , " HENRY RICHARDSON, Auditors." Your committee find that the actual payments for land at the period referred to amounted to 6,3501. only, and that 31,0001. of the above-mentioned 37,3501. was not, in fact, paid, but had been taken by Mr. Hudson out of the company's funds, and applied by him to his own purposes. The mode in which this was done shows the very loose manner in which the auditors tested the accounts, inasmuch as if they had called for proper vouchers none such could have been produced. It ap pears that, on the 30th of December, 1845, Mr. Hudson took two of the company's cheques, to the amount of 14,0001., signed by himself and Mr. Davies, one of which cheques was made payable to the Duke of North umberland for 10,0001, and the other to the Earl of rankerville for 4,0001; and it further appears, that on the following day, Mr. Hudson took four other of the company's cheques, signed by himself and Mr. James Richardson, and which were made payable to the fol lowing parties, viz : Earl Grey £5,000 Lady Mary Stanley 2,000 Sir M. W. Ridley ... 3,000 Earl of Carlisle ... 7,000 X 17.000 Nome of these cheques were banded by Mr. Hudson to the parties in whose favour they purported to be drawn. These cheques formed the only documents which were presented, as vouchers, to the auditors, and it will be at once observed that such a mode of audit presents no security whatever to the shart holders. In the case of this item of " land," the accounts have, by this system, continued overcharged in each half-year, down to that which is now current; for the evidence shows that until the appointment of this committee Mr. Hudson had re tained by fur the greatest portion of this sum of 31,000/. in his own hands, but on the day afteryour committee were appointed, he restored to the company the several sums of 3,0001, 2,0001., and 4,000/., which he had previously taken as on account of Sir Matthew W. Ridley, Lady Mary Stanley, and Lord Tankerville. The evidence fur ther shows that on the 12th of May Mr. Hudson restored to the company 7,0001, which he had taken as on ac count of the Earl of Carlisle; and that on the 14th of May he further restored 10,0001., which he had taken as on account of the Duko of Northumberland. The whole of these sums were so refunded by Mr. Hudson, with interest for above three years, during which he had improperly held the money, but the sharehol ders will observe that such has been the inattention to the real state of the company's accounts, on the part of both directors and auditors, that the solicitors have been subsequently allowed, in some of the instances referred to, to draw cheques for payment of the same land and to the same parties for whom Mr. Hudson had so ob tained cheques in December, 1845, and the moneys so drawn by the solicitors must have formed the subject of audit by the same two gentlemen who had passed the account containing the previous payments. In the Construction Account of the Newcastle and Berwick Railway, your committee also find that on the 31st of December, 1847, Mr. Hudson drew out of the funds of the company the sum of 40,0001., under circum stances which are fully detailed in the evidence, and which establish that the accounts of the half-year end ing on that day were overcharged by that amount under the head of " Works," inasmuch as the cheques which constituted this amount, viz:— To Messrs. Rush and Lawton ... £30,000 Hattersley and Newell ... 5 000 and Col ,„ 5,000 were all taken by Mr. Hudson on the day they were drawn, and paid to his own private credit at the banker's. In this instance, too, the vigilance of the auditors appears to have been evaded by the mere pro duction of the cheques, without any evidence of the sums having reached the parties to whom they purported to be payable, while, if that vigilance had been rightly ex ercised, the auditors must have discovered the error, in asmuch as your committee have it in evidence from the clerk who kept the books, that the ordinary course of business was departed from, and that no entries were made of these sums to the debit of the individuals in whose favour the cheques were drawn, but that by spe cial instructions from the secretary the clerk posted such payments to a distinct account, entitled " Works.' Until your committee was appointed, this sum of 40,0001. was standing as a payment to the debit of this company, and the construction account was to that ex tent overcharged. Mr. Hudson, on the 15th of May last, restored the whole amount, with 2,4791. 13s. 7d. for interest thereon. Your committee bring these matters under the atten- tion of the shareholders, as instances of the imperfect mode in which the company's accounts have been kept, and of the funds and books of the company having been so entirely under the control of its chairman, so as to enable him to apply those funds to his own or the company's purposes, as his convenience required. All the security to shareholders which the appointment of a body of directors and auditors, and the rendering of a periodical statement of accounts, are expected to afford, have in this instance become altogether nugatory. Your committee have called upon Mr. Hudson to offer his own explanation of these matters. That explana tion is stated at length in the evidence. Your committee will only observe upon it, that it has failed to convince them of any right in Mr. Hudson to have so dealt with this company's funds, and to have falsified its accounts in the manner which the evidence proves him to have done, and they leave it to the shareholders to draw their own conclusions upon the facts which the evidence has established.

The Select Committee appointed (by the House of Commons) to consider the present practice of this House in respect of the exclusion of strangers, have considered the matter to them referred, and agreed to the following report: — "That the existing usage of excluding strangers during a division, and upon the notice by an individual Member that strangers are present, has prevailed from a very early period of Parliamentary history; that the in stances in which the power of an individual Member to exclude has been exercised have been very rare; and that it is the unanimous opinion of your Committee that there is no sufficient ground for making any alteration in the existing practice with regard to the admisssion or exclusion of strangers. '•July 12, 1849: Mr. Sergeant Dowling supplies the place of the late Mr. Justice Coltman on the Norfolk Circuit, and took his seat on the bench at Aylesbury, on Saturday. The successerof the late judgehas notyst been appointed. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORNI ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the 11th, the House was occupied, and with no very decisive result, in endea vouring to ascertain the meaning of " Opaque Smoke." A Bill is introduced which is to place the owners of tall chimneys at the mercy of an informer who shall undertake to swear that he has witnessed the issue of any " opaque smoke." Notwithstanding the sug gested difficulties, I would submit that " opaque smoke" means smoke that can be seen. Whether there is any such thing as smoke that cannot be seen, or smoke that is not opaque, is what the authors of the phrase are alone responsible for. It shall be ad mitted, and in all probability is the simple truth, that " opaque smoke" means any smoke at all, its exist once being determinable by the only sense by which anybody ever proceeded to discover smoke, the sight. The case therefore is to stand thus. A manufacturer is to be fined five pounds every time any interested witness chooses to declare he saw smoke. It is not to be much smoke, or annoying smoke, or smoke amounting to what anybody will declare a nuisance; but if the smoke of the stoker's tobacco , pipe should make itself risible to the naked eye of the curious bystander, it is a smoke under the Bill. Things of this kind are the after-blows which are brought against the manufacturing interest since their suc cess upon the Corn Laws; and if the manufacturing interest does not know bow to defend itself against them, the time will come when it will have to defend itself against something else. On Thursday it was determined in Committee to move for leave to bring in a Bill for altering the laws relating to Pilotage ; and anot h er for " improving the condition of" Masters, Mates, and Seamen in the Merchant Service. From old connexions with the interests concerned, I feel desirous of intimating that in these proposed Bills there is both good and evil, and that they should be well sifted and looked after, in order to secure the good and escape the evil. The object of the Pilotage Bill, so far as seen, appears to be, to free the merchants from unnecessary charges for pilotage ;—that is to say, from being obliged to pay for pilots where pilots are not wanted and could be done without. On which the remark is obvious, that it would be well to diminish the charge for pilots, to the extent that will not equally raise the charge for underwriters. It is better a ship should have too much piloting than too little ; as there can be no doubt the underwriters will perfectly understand. In the other Bill, for improving the condition of Masters, &c. I cannot help suspecting that the words " condition of" are to some extent superfluous, and that the Bill is directed to improving the indi viduals themselves ; on its effectiveness for which end, there may allowably be some doubt. With more acquaintance with the merchant service than pro bably the majority of the House of Commons, I can not undertake to say I ever saw either master or mate who was palpably unfit for his situation. Such things have been heard of, as an owner's son going in com mand of a ship, with an old mate to take care of him, as what the sailors unceremoniously call a " nurse ;" and the same thing, with the same term attached to it, has been heard of in the navy in the case of a young captain of high family with an old first lieu tenant of undoubted nautical experience. But the facts hardly make out a necessity for novel legislation. On one point the seafaring part of the community ought to rally about the Government. It was inti mated that the intention of the Government was to abandon the Registration of Seamen, which means that it gives up the intention of resorting to impressment on the occurrence of a war. As the Government was not unnecessarily distinct, the secret might have been kept, but for the zeal of a Conservative man-of-war's man in the House, who stood up and protested against the intention of the Government. The seafaring part of the community, therefore, are fore-armed. In connexion with the Bill for legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister, an unusual circumstance has taken place. The proposal to subject the par liamentary legislation to the dogmas of churches by excepting Scotland and Ireland from the operation of the Bill, was on the 4th of July rejected by a ma jority of 119 against 66. Yet after this clear decla ration on the subject, on the 9:h appears a notice by the mover of the Bill, that ou the consideration of the Report be will move a proviso that nothing in the Bill shall extend to affect the powers of the Church Courts in Scotland ; thereby leaving those it was intended to relieve, exposed to all that can be inflicted on them by the perpetuation of the ecclesiastical stigma. Of course a parallel amend ment appears on the same page, for extending the like provision to the Church of England ; and it is im possible to suppose, that if one is conceded, the other must not. On the whole it is as if Mr. Wilberforce after carrying his Bill against the Slave Trade through the previous stages, had been found moving a proviso in the latest, " that Liverpool be a free port." Everybody knows, that the substantial object of the Bill was to gain a step in repressing the hostile operation of Established Churches upon the civil welfare of the community ; and to let the public down on this point, is the same kind of move as supposed in the case suggested. There is probably not a single Member who voted for the Bill, who has not done it at the expense of in curring the displeasure of some portion of his con stituents who do not share in his opinions on the subject. And why this sacrifice should be incurred fur the sake of a slave-trade abolition with Liverpool a free port, it is not easy to descry. It may, therefore, be a matter of serious considera tion, whether the best thing both for Members and for the sufft rers whom they wish to serve, would not be to vote against the emasculated Bill on the Third Reading, and let somebody try again with better chances. On the same evening, eighteen Members went through the process of "dying on the floor of the House," to oppose a motion for voting a sum of 361,8001. without waiting for the rsport of a Committee which had been sitting on the subject. And they were not martyrs for nothing ; for they carried their point for delay. The absolute value of the delay may be of comparatively small moment ; but the im portant thing was, that a warning was given of the unadvisableness of breaking the apostolic precept, that " all things be done decently and in order." The business on Friday consisted in Committee on Supply, varied with debates on questions connected with Ireland, of which it was not easy to define the beginning or the end. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 16, 1849. DEPARTURE OF THE EGYPTIAN SCREW FRIGATE SHARKIE. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. Tho Shackle, E gypti a n e steam-frigate, left Spithead on Saturday eve ning, o n t ing, at o'clock, under steam for Gibraltar , en r oute fi Alexan dria. Her fine old commander, or admiral , as he is called on board, and all the officers, more particularly the first lieutenant, Seliam Nesseem Bey, have gained gol den opinions at Portsmouth, as they did in the Thames, for the courteous civility and hospitality they exhibited to the various parties of ladies and gentlemen who visited their splendid vessel for curiosity and information. We speak from experience, and can safely assert that for interior order and cleanliness the Sharkie is nothing in ferior to our own war-steamers. The crew are also well clad, but are (with the exception of Haft Bey himself, and some of the officers, who are fine-looking men) emaciated and diminutive in their appearance, though active and intelligent. Captain Purcell, of the Superb, visited the Sharkie on Friday ; and on Saturday Hafiz Bey and a numb er o f hr officers visited the Superb. After going round the ship they lunched on on board her with Captain Purcell. On Friday the Sharkio took on board the state barge that has been built for the Pacha of Egypt by Mr. Camper, the yacht builder of Gosport. This boat is r nilar in sine, in model, and in her paint work and gilding to her Majesty's state barge. The Sharkie also takes out for the use of the Pacha and his son several English built carriages with eight horses, four being of the Eng lish breed, and four French, with an English coachman and groom to look after them. A few days ago one of the French horses kicked the horse-box to pieces, got adrift, and galloped round the deck, putting all the Egyptian crew to the r ou t, an d it was no t b e fore the horse had done some serious injury to himself and to several of the crew, that he could be secu red. Hafiz Bey is a strict dis c ipli nar i an , and aw ar d s summary occurs. A few punishment when a breach of discipline s days ago one of the crew struck las a subordinate officer, The man arms was and and the Bey ordered himdeicoko on his e seized, and thrown on the legs extended, and on each side sat an Egyptian ; two others, with a ro pe gasket, proceeded to inflict the pu . nish rue - ut over the breech without the removal of t h e lo The culprit cried out piteously, w hil e receiving c tho th fi e r s s . t forty strokes, after which he lay quiet; after receiving the 100 stripes he was lifted up, and when being conveyed away made some obnoxious remark, for which he was again laid prostrate, and received on additional twenty stripes with the gaskets. Notwith standing this rigorous punishment, the Egyptian crew are said to be happy and comfortable, and that punish. ment of this sort is only awarded in aggravated cases. ST. IVES, I'`I9HERT. T — he few boats em ptoyed on the mackerel fishery have been taking as many as 300 fish, which have bees sold at 10s. and 15s. per hundred of six score. The report given by those on this employ is that there is a great quantity of pil charda eight and ten leagues from the land, but none have as yet been descried from the bills on the coast.— Cornwall Gaga.. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. The America steam-ship, belonging to the British and North American Royal Mail Company, after another of her speedy and successful trips across the Ocean, reached our port this afternoon about four o'clock. She brings a fair complement of passengers, and her Majesty's Mails from Canada, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, the United States, &c. The America left Boston on the 4th instant, and Halifax, where she had put in to receive the mails and passengers from British America on the 7th ; her advices, therefore, extend as follows :—ln addition to the dates given from Boston and Halifax, she brings accounts from New York to the 4th, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Charleston to the 3d, Mobile and Montreal to the 2d, and New Orleans to the Ist. The intelligence, though not more than ordinarily important, is somewhat more interesting than usual. The West India mail steam-ship Clyde had arrived at Mobile. The British and North American mail steam-ship Hibernia, which we learn by last arrival had put into Halifax, subsequently arrived at New York; and the Canada, which sailed hence on the 23d ult., had reached Halifax, and proceeded onwards to Boston. The most important, as it is the most alarming, fea ture of intelligence brought by the America is the rapid spread of cholera, which is now raging with extreme malignity in many parts of the Union. Notwithstanding all the sanitary efforts of the au thoriti,?s in New York (and these in some instances enforced with violence, such as pulling down or clearing filthy houses against the will of the in habitants), the disease was spreading in the city. Not only were the cases more numerous, but the proportion of deaths was greater and the con tagion was more equally divided amongst the several classes of society. Among the other cities and towns more severely visited are St. Louis and Cincinnati, whilst in Texas, Tennessee, and in some of the boats on the larger rivers many fatal cases are re ported. It is not so alarming at New Orleans, Mobile, &c., as might have bee n ex p ec t e d. S evera l deaths are also reported from extreme heat and sun strokes, the latter of which seem to be very common throughout the southern portion of the Union. The spread of cholera had cast a gloom over society at A period generally joyous ; and if in the beginning of July the health of the country is so affected, what will it be until September, as that portion of the year from July onwards is generally the most un healthy. The arrival of Father Mathew, an event so long anticipated in the States, is announced in our present advices. The celebrated apostle of temperance met a most enthusiastic reception, all classes joining in testifying their admiration of the man and of the cause of which he has been so successful an advocate. The authorities of New York have pro vided proper accommodation for him at the expense of the city, and invitations were pouring in upon him from all parts of America. It is not improbable that his successes in America may equal, if not exceed, those he has already experienced, there being a vast Irish population in the leading cities and towns of the Union similar in disposition and practice to those be experimented upon in the sister kingdom. The 4th of July was expected to be celebrated with the usual eclat, notwithstanding the cautions and advice which were put forth by the New York press to avoid, in the present condition of affairs, any unnecessary excitement. The Mayor of New York was strictly enforcing the closing of all taverns and public places of resort on the Sabbath, and it .was hoped by this means to aid in the suppression of disease. A contribution for the Pope, proposed by that prelatical meddler Bishop Hughes of New York, had given rise to much acrimony and " bad blood." The accounts from Rome had created much feverish feeling amongst the mixed population of the city, and the brand thrown in at such a juncture was most inap propriate. The collection was taken up in a few churches in New York with even less success than had been anticipated. By way of counterpoise, it was proposed on the celebration of the anniversary of Independence to send forth expressions of sympathy for all nations in Europe evidencing republican feeling (Italy in cluded). The anticipations formed as to disturbances in California are being verified. We have reports of serious rioting having already taken place, the particulars of which are not fully detailed. The growing population were becoming discontented. The waters were so high as to make the " placings " less profitable than heretofore. Still new discoveries were being made, as each exploring party moved to a fresh district. Amongst the late arrivals are some Mexicans, and a large influx from Oregon was ex pected. Bilious fever, ague, and diseases incidental to the occupation of t h e people were prevalent. some of these are very fatal in their character, and speedy in their work of death. It was supposed that they would continue more or less for two or three months from the last advices. The months of September, October, and November were looked forward to with much interest, as they were reckoned the best for mining purposes. The want of ships crews was being very much felt, a large number of vessels lying idle at San Francisco. Slivery had been introduced by one or two parties ; but it is said that, if per severed in, those who practice it will experience the vengeance of the " diggers," and as every man gees armed with a pistol and a dagger, it is not difficult to conjecture in what form that vengeance will manifest_ itself. Gambling is very prevalent in the colony. Canada is, if anything more agitated than when the Cambria advices left. Although quietness pre vailed, the agitation was kept up and had a bad effect upon trade, which was in a dull state. The cholera is alluded to but slightly in our present reports. The League carried on its proceedings, and continued to enrol a good number of partisans. Our accounts from Mexico are rather more alarming than they have been for some time past. The guerilla attacks have sunk into insignificance in presence of a spirit of insurrection which had manifested itself in the Republic, and which had caused much terror amongst the peaceably disposed. The interference of the United States in the California territory was causi ng muc h jealousy in Mexico, which might lead to unpleasant results. The experiments in wheat growing at Texas have been most successful, and have given satisfaction to those interested in them. The cotton corps in Georgia, Alabama, &c., are not satisfactory spoken of. We subjoin the commerial advices received by this arrival. Although money is reported to be tolerably plen tiful, no scarcity being felt, the tone of our advices in regard thereto is evidently not so satisfactory as that received by the last few arrivals, and this view would seem to be corroborated by our advices shi w ng hichis mentioned regarding as th b e e stat e o g i n of trade a generally, daliandlaagui con dition throughout the Union, aggravated no doubt by the extreme heat and the accounts of the progress of disease. The New York market for breadstuffs is reported quiet, without any material changes in quotations, which are given to us as follows :—Western Canal flour, 5 dolls. 50c. to 5 dolls. 62ic. ; Genesse prime wheat, 98c. to 1 doll. per 601b5.; southern wheat, 1 doll. 04c. ditto; Indian corn, round yellow, steady at 58c. to 60c. ; ditto southern white, 54c. to 56c.; Indian meal, 2 dolls. 87ic. to 3 dolls. Cotton at New York was reported to be most active. The demand was very good, more than an average business being transacted at advanced prices. New Orleans and Mobile middling fair to fair is quoted at Bi-c. to 9c., whilst Uplands and Florida middling fair to fair is quoted at sic. to 81c., an in crease on the whole of per cent. Exchange on London rules from 109 to 1091, the demand being good; Paris 5 25, with a fair buiress doing ; Hamb urg h, 35 t o 35i ; B re men, 78 t o _ 781. t0 6ir Freight of grain to Liverpool is quoted a t 6 per bushel; cotton j to 3.16 per lb.
