This is e ery well known to the Presbytery of Edinburgh, to whose peti tion Lord GALLOWAY called the attention of the Govern ment. Lord WHARNCLIFFE promptly stated the Go vernment might as well think of putting an end to travelling altogether ; and he censured the excessive zeal of the people of Scotland upon this subject. Lord CAMPBELL concurred in this opinion, and observed that in Scotland the notions that prevailed respecting the observance of the Sabbath were very extravagant. He also ridiculed the absurdity of permitting turnpike-tra velling, and preventing the running of railway trains. Certainly, if a distinction were to be made on the ground of Sabbath-breaking, as the people of Scotland consider it, but which we hold to be no breach of the Sabbath, such distinction ought to be in favour of railway travelling. In travelling by the stage-coach on the turnpike-roads, the carriage of nine or ten passengers gives employment to two horses, a coachman, and a guard, besides hostlers and grooms at the different stations. Now, on the rail way less manual and animal labour is necessary to carry a thousand passengers. As to the mere act of sitting in a railway carriage, or walking to and from the nearest station, it is in the abstract no more a sin than sitting at home in a chair, or walking to the parish church. We are surprised that the ultra-religious portion of the people of Scotland. who contend for the Jewish, and not for the Christian observance of the Sabbath—who insist upon the letter, and not the spirit of the Fourth Commandment, do not themselves observe it to the letter. If no work at all is to be done, and travelling be work, then do they violate the Sab baths as much in walking to Church as ever did stage-coachman in driving on that day a pair of horses from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Now in Scotland the saints both light fires and cook dinners, violations of the Sabbath which the Jews would have punished by stoning. We are sometimes inclined to think that it would have been happy for the world had a knowledge of the pre cious doctrines of the New Testament preceded that of the old in Europe by a thousand years. We should then have been Christians indeed, and the Old Testament would have served to confirm us in our faith ; whereat now the so-called religious people among us are not Christians but Jews, owing to their making the Old Testament as much the rule of their faith and guide of their lives as the Gospel of CHRIST. In Scotland espe cially, the Old Testament is ten times as often quoted in religious discourses- as the New, even in churches. Hence the Jewish outcry about the observance of a Sabbath which Gm) gave to the poor for rest, for prayer, and for innocent amusements, which in his pure eyes are most acceptable sacrifices. An 4,xpress from Madrid announces the resignation of the Cabinet. We regret this, especially the retirement of the Minister of Finance, who, while in office, acted 1 ery honestly. The French Chamber of Deputies got through the Budget on Monday. The great business of the session is thus over, and we may expect a dissolution of the Chamber in July. The reports of more conspiracies to kill the KING at e rife in Paris. The King has received from his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Schwerin, a letter in answer to the cre dentials of M. de Tallenay. His Highness the Duke of Saxe has written a letter to the King announcing the matriage of his Highness the Hereditary Prince of Saxe Coburg to the Princess Alexandrina Louisa Amelia of Baden, daughter of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden. The King has received from the Diet of the Swiss Confede ration, an answer to the notification of the birth of the Count d'Eu. The General Board of Bridges and Highways have examined the question relative to the enlargement. of the pot t of Havre. It has .dop ed the plan of M. Renaud with regard to the pro • longation of the basin of La Monde, and the construction of a dock parallel to the basin Vauban, reserving the question of Rio new entrance, and providing for the necessity of the mii.ment by the improvement of the present channel. . 130 URSE---PAuls, MoNDAY, MAY 30. - - tuft Highest Lowest Last Price Price Prio.

SUN OFFICE Three o' Melt The rage fur introducing 13:11s, o: (dense.; as riders to B:11 , , into Parliament for regulating and controlling the a •lions, habits, and trade of individuals, as well as elaases, is become altagather insufferable. Every sea - sion brings forth some new scheme for harrassing the pubic, under the hypocritical pretence of promoting re ligion and virtue, but in reality to gratify the vanity, power, and paltry ambition of petty tyrants, who coin plaeentty regard themselves as the only " holy ones of the earth." The PAKINCTONS and the PLumprer.s, in- ' stead of looking at their own faults and sins, are occu pied entirely with the doings of their neighbours, and whenever tht se come in collision with their own miserable preconceived opinions of virtue and vice they are struck with horror at the wickedness of the age. These immaculate Arcadians then commence in the same strains, and exclaim " This must not be allowed— to drink beer or travel on Sunday is a crying sin ; the nuisance must be put down by the strong arm of the law ; an Act of Parliament must be framed to punish the malii,gnants." And forthwith they lay their heads together, craw up a Bill, manufacture petitions, and, day after day, annoy all the rational Members of the Ifouse, with their impracticable schemes, and unmeaning ha rengues. What right have they to tell a fellow-creature when he shall eat, and when he shall drink, and when he shall walk ? They have no authority from Scripture, nay, they are absolutely forbidden by the sacred volume, to meddle with a brother respecting the observance of the Sabbath ; and presume upon the brief power and au thority conferred oa thetn as Members of Parliament, to take into their keeping, the consciences, the morality, and religion of the whole of the community. This, to say the least, is insolent assumption, and every man that regards freedom, and above all, the freedom of the mind, revolts at the idea of being restrained by the bigoted doctrines or such empirics. The laws for the observance of the Sabbath, and for preserving order in public-houses, are already sufficiently strong for all useful purposes, and we can therefore regard these attempts es springing chiefly from a morbid lust of power, and a vain desire to show their importance as legislators, and exercise uncontrolled jurisdiction at Quarter Sessions. It is high time „for the Government to interfere. Sir ROBERT PEEL does not concur in the views of these men. He has ever opposed the Sabbath schemes of AGNEW and PLnMPTRE, and it is therefore not fair to wards the community to allow, session after session, plans like these to be brought forward, which unsettle and injure the trade and property of numerous classes, and actually bring Acts of Parliament into contempt. A deputation from a numerous and respectable body—the licensed victuallers--has been sent up from the country, ;at great expense and inconvenience, to protest against the motion of Mr. PAKINGTOS, which stands for this evening, and we confidently trust Sir ltonEwr PEEL, will settle the question, and put the fears of these per secuted men at rest. • What injury can he suffer by Expressing his own . sentiments manfully ? He will be supported by all the sense and worth of the House. He will be applauded by the community at large, and in de nouncing these Pharasaical doctrines would obtain a claim to public support, which, owing to their conduct on this question, the Whigs shamefully cast away.

Prince Albert hfc Buckingham Palace at two o'clock this day to hold a Levee at St. James's Palace. Her Majesty looked exceedingly well, and bowed very graciously to the continued lines of crowd, who cheered and welcomed 119 r M^jesty with great cordiality. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE and Mr. VERNON SMITH deserve the thanks of the country for having brought befo re the 1-louses of Lords and Commons last night the disgusting theatrical exhibition made of DANIEL GOOD by the authorities of London, in the Chapel of Newgate on the Sunday previous to his execution. We ourselves read the report of the assemblage of ladies, of the parade of the miser able man on the brink of eternity, and a sum mary of the sermon preached on that occasion, with commingled feelin g s of indi g nation and loathing.: The language made use of by the Ch a pl a i n, was the most improper for such an occasion that ever proceeded from the mouth of a Minister of the Gospel. The Go vernment, we are' happy to find, took the same view of the affair that we did, but Newgate being within th e jurisdiction of the Loan MAY OR, the Ministers of the Crown were withheld by a feeling of delicacy from interfering. We s .,,do not like to speak harshly of the females who attended this exhibition of human atrocity, but from our hearts we pity the husband or father whose wife or daughter was among the number. We would not for the world be in the situation of either. MONEY :ad COMMERCIAL NEWS. ulTl', QUARTER TO ?MEE. Very unusual for the day on which the Bank books close previously to the dividend, but little business has been done in the English funds.

The Bonds quoted to-day are Colombian, 263 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 22i 224, and the Three per Cents., 233 234. It will be seen that the quotation for Spanish has materially declined. This is owing to the intelligence that Senor Rull, the Finance Minister, is no longer in office ; but why this effect should have been produced by his dismission is not to be accounted for, since.by his acts he completely belied his profes sions to the English creditors, and if anything is to be gained, it has long been evident that it must be from the opposition. Further accounts from Sydney, to the 2d February, have been received. The peculiar state in which that country is at present placed from the want of labourers to attend to that now important branch of its prosperity, wool growing, had at length began to excite attention. The unfitness of converted Europeans for shepherds had for some time been so apparent that the community in general refused to employ them as such, and the cultivation of sheep is stated to be a losingoceupation, if snore than 151. to 201. per annum be paid for wages. These indi viduals benefited the colony far more by being employed in forming roads and such like internal improvements, for which the ) were well adapted, than in being forced into an occupation in vs bids they could not succeed. The question of importing coolies had also been mooted, but decided in the negative by all par ties, from the Governor downward, and the failure of the emigration fund had prevented any expectation of a supply by means of that source. It was intended under the circumstances to hold public meetings, in the expectation that some plan might be devised to remedy the evil. A kind of fete had been held to celebrate the fifty-fourth anniversary of the landing of Governor Hunter at Sydney, then called Botany Bay. At the dinner which was given on the occasion some interesting accounts were stated of the progress made since, and Rowe ter gloomy particular letters may be, no doubt can exist that, in a very short time, Australia must be come the most valuable of British dependencies. Some later intelligence from New Zealand is found in these papers.. It appears that parties are being frequently sent out to explore the country and report fit locations for new settle ments; the information furnished by them leads to the conclusion that the fertility and capabilities of the island, and those sur rounding it, have not been so greatly exaggerated as has too frequently been the case with new colonies.

The tone' of their minds is healthy , and save upon a f ew specu l at i ve t h eor i es i n r eli g ion, they are eminently a practical people. But the obser vance of the Sabbath is one of those points upon which it seems impossible to 'a ke them rational. Had they lived in the days of our BEDEEmea's sojourn on earth, w e verily believe that they would have joined the Pharasaical Jews in accusing him of a breach of the Sabbath, for choosing on that day to open the eyes of , th e bli nd. They h ave taken, it seems, an invincible dislike to railway travel ling on Sundays, and last night the Earl of GALLOWAY presented, in the house of Lords, a petition fcom the Presbytery of Edinburgh, praying that a Bill might be TaS - Nd to prevent such travelling on Sundays altogether.

It has been already stated that the result of the examinations taken by the Privy Council, was the committal of the prisoner to Newgate to take his trial upon the charge of high treason' and although it has been considered prudent by the authorities to prevent the evidence which led to this result being made public, our correspondent has been enabled to ascertain the character of a great portion of it, and the facts upon which the prisoner stands committed. The evidence tended to show that the prisoner was observed standing about different parts of Constitution-bill before the Royal carriage appeared in sight, but it did not appear that any particular notice was attracted to him or to his movements. The act of discharging the pistol appeared to bo an almost instantaneous one, and the greatest extent of the witnesses' evidence, is that it was pointed in the direc tion of the carriage, but none of them could say positively whether it was pointed at her Majesty. It, however, distinctly appeared in evidence, that the pistol exploded, but as yet there is not the least evidence to show that the weapon was loaded with ball, as although strict search has been made in the neigh bourhood of the spot where the outrage took place, no traces of a pistol ball could be discovered. When these main facts had been deposed to, it was intimated to the Privy Council that inquiries were still going on, and there was reason to believe that other witnesses might be procured, although it could not be then stated that their evidence would be material, or to what portion of the case it would apply ; and a discussion took place between the Law Officers of the Crown and Mr. Maule, as to the propriety of again remanding the prisoner. The result of that discus sion was, that there being a clear prima facie case made out on behalf of the prosecution, in support of the charge, that it would be better not to keep up the anxiety in the public mind by remanding the prisoner, but that the more prudent course would be, to commit him for trial, and should any fresh evidence of a material character be brought to light, it would be in the power of the Crown to produce it at the trial. The prisoner is, of course, entitled to a copy of the depositions against him, and our correspondent is informed that an application has already been made for the copy, by a prefessional gentleman, in behalf of the prisoner ; and it is understood that an assurance has been given that the copy of the. depositions, when complete, shall be given to the prisoner's adviser, in sufficient time to enable him to prepare his defence. It is highly satisfactory to know that not the least suspicion appears to exist in the minds of the authorities, or on those engaged in getting up the prosecution, that the prisoner had any accomplices, and up to this time his motive for committing the atrocious act ap pears to be quite inexplicable, the circumstance of the previous attempt on the Sunday, however, showing it to be a cool and premeditated one. Every endeavour has been made by search and other wise to ascertain the fact whether the pistol was loaded with ball, but hitherto without success. It will be re membered that the same difficulty occurred in the case of Oxford, his counsel, the late Mr. Sydney Taylor, arguing s trongly that as there was an absence of proof that the pistol was loaded with a " leaden bullet," and as this was the ve ry gist of the charge, that he must be acquitted, and it will be recollected that, in the first instance the jury, upon that occa sion, returned a verdict " That the prisoner was guilty of dis charging a pistol at her Majesty, but that there was no evidence to show whether it was loaded or not;" and the Counsel for the prisoner agreed that this was tantamount to an acquittal, and a long argument took place upon it, the difficulty being even tually got over by the jury amending their verdict, by acqui'- ting the prisoner on the ground of his being insane at the time he committed the act. Our Correspondent has Lad some conversation with the young man Elarn, with whom the prisoner had been lodging, and who, it will be recollected, he robbed of some money under the circumstances that have already been detailed, and he de scribes him as being a quiet, well-behaved young man, not at all violent in his character or conduct, and, as he says, the last person he should have thought capable of committing such an act of outrage. He states that he hail latterly not been in regular work, and he appeared rather desponding, and he was aware that he was in very bad circumstances; and his conduct on opening the tobacconist's shop at such a time appears most extraordinary. It shou d bo stated, that at the close of the inquiry be fore the Privy Council, the Noble Lord who presided addressed the prisoner , and after the depositions • had been read over, told him that what he had just heard read would close the inquiry for that time. If he pleased to ask the witnesses any questions, or have any of them recalled, he was at liberty to do so. The prisoner in. timated that he haul no questions to ask. He was then told that he rdglit make any statement, or say what he pleased in answer to the charge, but lie was strictly cautioned that what lie said would be taken down and produced in evidence against him at the trial. 'llse prisoner replied " Then I shall say nothing now ;" and the warrant of commitment having been made out, this closed the proceedings. The next session of the Central Criminal Court commences on Alonday the 13th June, and the prisoner , in orilina-y course, would be tried on the succeeding Thursday or Fri day, but the general impression is that die trial will go over till the July sessions.

SUMMARY OF NEWS ANI) public Opinion. " Who runs may read." POILEIGN. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday afternoon, the Budget of Marine was voted, after a short discussion on the Slavery question in the French colonies. The Budget of French Finance was then entered upon, and the entire Budget of Expenses was passed before the close of the sitting. We mentioned a report yesterday, that a conspiracy against the King of the French had been discovered at Vernon. The King was about to visit a cotton-spinning manufactory of that town, which is close to the chateau of Bizy. Several of the workmen, it is said, plotted to make an attempt on his life. Three were arrested, and the principal flung himself into the river, and perished. The King visited the manufactory in question with his suite, and nothing remarkable took place. La Presse devotes a long article to the consideration of the New American tariff, which it pronounces to be the work of "a barbarous nation," and recommends the French Government to retaliate by raising the import duty on cottons, and by in stantly revoking the Treaty of 1822, which places the Ame rican merchant navy on a footing of perfect neutrality with that of France. "Every day," says the National, "we receive fresh com plaints relative to the distress prevailing in the wine-growing districts. There are but two solutions for the difficulties which press on proprietors. The first is a reduction of the duty to which their produce is liable; hut it is impossible to diminish the duties with a deficient budget. The other remedy is to open new markets for exportation ; but in order to obtain those markets we must reduce our tariffs, and make other concessions." The funeral of M. Aguado took place en Monday at the church of Notre Dam's de Lorette. the cortege consisted of a splendidly decorated hearse, drawn by six horses, 12 mourn ing coaches, and a number of private carriages, amongst which was that of the ex-Queen Maria Christina. The attendance of the friends of the deceased was numerous and highly respect able. His three sons acted as chief mourners. 'I he At moricain of Brest announces that orders have been received at that port for dispatching two ships of war to St. . Domingo, as a protecti: nto the French residents there, case of their being affected by the existing disturbances in the island. M. Surra y Roll, the Spanish Minister of Finance, has ten dered his resignation to the Regent, who has accepted it. 11. Cunha, the Minister of Marine, was expected to follow his example. M. Marliani was mentioned as likely to succeed M. Surra. A letter from Rome, May 19, states that Cardinal de Bonald, Archbishop of Lyons, who recently arrived there, has already had an interview with the Pope. PARLIAMENTARY. The Lords met in great numbers to agree to an address to her Majesty, which was proposed by the Duke of Wel lington, and unanimously adopted. Lord Howden brought under the notice of the Peers the exclusion of a tablet from the church by the Bishop of Quebec, which some officers had prepared in memory of a brother officer. The Bishop of London defended the conduct of the Bishop of Quebec, and said the Bishop might make what regulations he liked for the churches of his diocese. He thought many of the churches of England were profaned by monumental inscriptions, and he expressed regret that public opinion did not allow him to exercise the same power as his spiritual brother had exercised in Quebec. Lord Brougham condemned the one Bishop's opinion, and the proceedings of the other. The manner in which religion and the administration of the law have of late been perverted and profaned, as in the case of Good, to gratify a morbid sympathy, was brought under the notice of the House by the Marquis of Clanricarde, and was re probated by Noble Lords on both sides of the House. Sunday travelling by railways was brought under notice , by a petition, and we heard, with great satisfaction, Lord Wharn cliffe declare in its favour, and stigmatize, in common with Lord Csmpbell, the absurd desire prevalent in Scotland, to put a stop to it. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter past Seven. A great crowd collected also in the House of Commons to concur in the Address to her Majesty. We have eleswhere adverted to that, and also an important conversation concerning the trade with France. In answer to an Hon. Member. Sir R. Peel stated that the Government was indebted to the East India Company 340,0001. Mr. D'lsraeli adverted to the posthumous publication of a letter f: um Sir Alexander Burnes, in which tie characterised the publication of parts of his despatch as a trick and a fraud, and the lion. Member asked Sir John Hobhouse to explain the matter. Sir John, in many words, asserted it never was customary to publish the whole of any despatches, and lie had only with. held such parts of Sir Alexander Burnes's letters at he thought ought not to be made public. The conduct of the civic authorities, in relation to the con demned sei mon, was censured in the House of Commons by Mr. Vern in Smith and Sir J. Graham, as well as in the House of Lords. The remainder of the evening was occupied with the ad journed debate on the third reading of the Income-tax. Mr. Hume opposed it, snit condemned the extravagant policy of the Government. The Chanceilor of the Exchequer gave an I explanation of the machinery he is to employ, and its proba ble cost. After a prolonged debate the Bill was read a third time, after a division, by 255 to 149, shoxing a majority of 106 for inflicting an Income-tax on us. Several amendments were suggested by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which were agreed to—one proposed by Mr. G. W. Wood was lost. The Bill was then pased, and, being a money Bill, it is now certain that it will become a law. The House adjourned a Half-past Twelve. MONEY—TRAM E—C 010TIVIMILCZ. The South Eastern (London and Dover) Railway held their half-yearly meeting at the London Tavern yesterday, when it was stated in the Report that the receipts to the Ist April amounted to 1,145,5971. 135., and the payments to 1,076,465/., ss. 4d., leaving a balance in hand of 62,4611. ss. Bd. Various portions of the line are in a very forward state. By order of the Porte the passage of merchant steam-vessels through the Dardanelles and Bosphorus is to be disallowed after sunset. At Dooley, the nailers are still out of employment, and the colliers, with few exceptions, are determined not to yield to the proposed reduction in their wages. So general is the strike among them, that coal can scarcely be obtained ; and unless the pits resume their work in a short time there must be a stoppage of labour throughout the district. It is stated by the memorial of the Canadian merchants to Sir Robert Peel, on the subject of the new timber duties, that "placing faith in the declared intentions of her Majesty's Go vernment" they had entered into engagements for the ensuing season equal to 1,000,000/. sterling, and that if the measures propounded by Sir Robert Peel be carried out in their pro posed form, the colony will become insolvent, and fully 12,000 men, engaged in preparing the timber, thrown out of employ ment. • SECCZT.SIASTICAL. A site, north of the Frith of Forth, near Perth, has been se lected for the Episcopal College in Scotland. AGILYCLTIATIM.AL. In mid-Kent the hop-bines are very flourishing ; at W ater ingbury and Nlereworth the hops look well, and grow fast, but in common with those of Brenchley and Ticehurst are beset with flies. . . . . . American cotton-seed has been introduced of late with very great advantage in India. In Bundlecund, Behar, Allahabad, and the Cavalier district, the growth of the polo and plants has been unusually luxuriant. Mexican and Sea Island seeds have also been tried, but have not succeeded so well. NAVAL A tD MILITARY. The two battalions, forming the 3d or Scotch Fusilier Regi ment of Foot Guards, were reviewed this morning in Hyde Park, by their Colonel, Field-Marshal Prince Albert, attended by Count Mensdorf and his four sons. LAW AND POLICE. _ _ _ The case of MT:Chambers, which has been so long before the Bankruptcy Court, was again brought on for the purpose of auditing the accounts. They were of great magnitude, but the assignees were perfectly satisfied with their correctness. The audit was adjourned in order that the sale of some pro perty might be effected, when a dividend will be declared. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court the case of John Cann, eating-house keeper, near Temple-bar, was adjourned till the 28th of June, for a new special balance-sheet. The insolvent had been four times discharged under the Aet, namely, in 1827,1829,133, and 1839. This of course was his fifth ap pearance. He had been a bankrupt, and obtained a certificate. At Marlborough-street, two lacqueys, named Bachons and Buckets, were charged with using insulting language and de meanour in the inner ball of the Opera, towards ladies and gentlemen who were obliged to pass through the crowd of per sons assembled there. Their conduct being so bad, they were all expelled by the police except Bachons, who resisted and was taken into custody, and on his way to the station-house the other prisoner attempted a rescue. Mr. Maltby committed Bachons to prison for seven days, and fined his friend 3/. Upwards of six tons of smuggled tobacco, in bales of about a hundred weight and a quarter each, landed last Monday night from a vessel in the limits of the port at Gloucester, were seized by an Excise. officer on Wednesday, as they were travelling by the Cirencester train for London. TINE ARTS. The ivory model of the Tage 111uhal at Agra, which origi nally cost 12,0001., was sold by Mr. Robins yesterday for 2,010 guineas. THEATRICAL._ Mdlle.

The Kent and Sussex Cricket Clubs will play a match on the Beverley grounds, Canterbury, on the 30th of this month ; and the return match will be played at Brighton on the 18th of July. COVET-FASHIONABLE. Lady Lyndhurst has assemblies on Wednesday next, and on the 15th inst. His Excellency, the French Ambassader, gave a splendid entertainment yesterday to the Duchess of Gloucester. The ball at Almacks to-night is expected to be a brilliant re•• union. Earl Compton is at present making a tour in Spain, having left Rome early in the past month. Counts Andre and Pierre Schouvaloff leave Mivart's Hotel in the course of the week for St. Petersburgh. IIISCELLANEOO S. `Lord Manners, formerly Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who tied the seals of that office for nineteen years, died last Tues day, in Urook-street, in his 87th year. An immense fes.il elephant, or mammoth, at a depth of 2.0 feet below the surface has been just discovered, in the wealden formation of the Marden-hill, at Maidstone, during the exca vation of the cutting for the South-Eastern Railway. To-day is the anniversary of the memorable battle fought by the Briti-h fleet in 1794, off Ushant, under the command of Lord Howe, when he totally defeated the French fleet, taking six ships of war, and sinking several others. Ten of the ga:- lant veterans who shared the honours of the day are at present inmates of the Royal Hospital, Greenwich. MPLI.E• D'EsroußßlN's D'Es pourrin, se well known as a brilliant harpist, gave a morning concert yesterday at the Hanover-square Rooms. Madame Caradori Allan executed " Se non son dama," and the fioriture at its close, most spiritedly. Her duet with Signor Guibelei of Per pincer alla Sign°, a," showed off the capricious pettish moods of the lover to beautiful effect ; first, her air was tart sod pertinacious —then sweet and imprecatim—and, ultimately, is triumphant as if she could trample on her lover. The horn and harp duct between Mdlle. D'Espourriu and Mr. Jarrett formed a fine mingling of the two instruments t the quick sharp notes fell under that lady's fingers like a sprinkle of pearl. Signor Cava:lini, from the Milan.theatre of La Scala, who also accompanied her through this duet, exhibited afterward ion the clarionet, by himself, in a series of .melodies, which were sometimes copious, as if they had bubbled from a honey-fount. Mr. John Parry's musical extravaganzas pleased exceedingly, and were encored. Mr. Benedict presided at the pianoforte, which wasome of Zeittees• new patent grand. The concert room was full, and this fashionable entertainment ;acted from two o'clock till five. 111 r. James llorrison paired la against the Income ax last night with Sir Charles Vere.

Some three or four hundred persons of different ranks entered the yard yesterday afternoon, in tke vain hope of settling their accounts on the Derby and Oaks, and they were, one and all, miserably disappointed. The heavy defalcation already an nounc d, would alone have been sufficient to produce a sen sible effect, but when we add that from parties who did not show at all, and those who did attend, and only paid in part, a further sum amounting to upwards of forty thousand pounds was " want • inn ," the nature of this so called settling" will be appre ciated. It was stated yesterday that the names of several par ties had been made free with, and we fear, in more instances than one, with some reason; two or three of them, however, showed and paid in part ; another forwarded a letter to one of his principal cre ditors, stating that his loss was so heavy as to render it utterly impossible for him to meet his engagements on the day, but that he felt c lnfident of realizing such securities as will enable him to settle with every person in full in a very short time. In the other quarters the cases are not considered desperate, and as they differ in this respect from the one we treated so unceremoniously in our last, it would scarcely be fair towards their creditors to publish their names, or ir.dulge in any allusion s th a t would have a tendency to prevent an ultimate adjustment. With the exception of Colonel Aasnn, the large amount of whose winnings must have enabled him to realize a portion, we do not believe that a single person quitted the yard a winner ; one gentleman was 7,000/. short, by bad or parried debts, including 4,0001. by Mr. Beales, the whole of which was commission money ; another nearly 5,000/. ; and several of two, three, and four thousand each. Such is the present state of the turf money market; in another week or ten days, the intentions of those in arrears will have developed themselves, and we shall return to the subject ; in the meantime, it is almost superfluous to add, that betting is out of the question.

A BOY DIIOWNED.—Last night, hotween nine and ten o'clock, several lads, after the coal porters had ceased work ing, assetnblud on the barges of Under-the-Hill wharf, strand, when unfortunately, one of the number, a lad about fourteen years of age, named Hunt, whose parents reside in Lumley-court, Strand, was drowned. The drags were instantly brought, and several of the Thames police also assisted in en deavouring to save the boy, but the wind and title were so strong, that he soon disappeared. Men with torches were also er4:aged till daylight this morning, as the tide receded, in walking along the shore, to discover the body, but unfortunately it could not be found. This is the seventh case of a similar nature that has occurred between Westminster and Blackfriars Bridges within the last fourteen days. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met this day at Two o'clock, for the purpose of proceeding with the other House to the Palace, to present the Address to her Majesty, on her escape from the late treason able attempt of the miscreant who discharged a pistol at her Majesty on Monday evening. On our admission to the gallery, shortly before two o'clock, we found that several of the Peers had already assembled. The body of the House presented an unusually gay and animated appearance. All the Peers were in full dress, the ma jority of them in uniform, and some few in Court dresses. The Knights of the different Orders, wearing their decorations. The Duke of Wellington was dressed in the uni form of the Constable of the Tower, and across his breast he wore the riband of the order of the arter. Lord Hill and the other military Peers appeared in full uniform, and the appear ance of the House was rather that of a ball-room than of a legis lative assembly. The scene was picturesque in the extreme, and for splendour and magnificence has seldom been equalled. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of the Chancellor. took his seat upon the Woolsack at Two o'Cleek. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage. The LORD CHANCELLOR entered the House at twenty five minutes after Two o'Clock, and their Lordships imme diately adjourned till to •morrow. The Clerk at the table then called over the names of the Peers present, commencing with that of John Lord Campbell, as the junior Peer present. Each Peer as his name was called, rose and left the House to take his place in the procession. Among those present we observed the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Leinster, Lord Redesdale, the Earl of Eldon, the Earl of Warwick, Lord Bexley, the Marquis of Ely, the Marquis of 1 homond, Lord Hood, the Marquis of Downshire, the Marquis of Camden, Lord Fever sham, Lord Somers, Lord Camoys, the Earl of West moreland, the Duke of Roxburgh, the Marquis of Headfort, Lord Poltimore, Viscount Duncannon, the Earl of Aylesford, Lord Stafford of Jerningham, Lord Crewe, Lord Monteagle, Viscount Canterbury, Lord Campbell, the Earl of For tescue, Earl Bathurst, the Earl of Wicklow, the Mar quis of Northampton, Earl Radnor, Lord Bateman, Lord Abinger, the Archbishop of Armagh, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Lincoln, the Bishop of Chester, the Bishop or Worcester, the Bishop of Derry, the Bishop of Ely, the Bishop of Llandaff, the Bishop of Rochester, Lord Lovat, Lord C3lchester ' the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol, Lord Glenelg, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Hawarden, the Earl of Cawdor, the Earl of Home, the Duke of Richmond, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Earl of Clanwilliam, the Earl of Devon, Lord Cottenham, the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Bolton, the Earl of Walsingham, and Earl Mint°. HOUSE OF COMMONS. ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. There was a very full attendance of Members at two o'clock, the House presenting a very brilliant and animated appearance, from the large number of naval and military uniforms, and from the number of Members who appeared in the full-dress of Deputy-Lieutenants of Counties. The number of gentlemen in full Court dress was also considerable, as the throng was broken up into detached groups round the table and on the floor of the' House, engaged in animated conversation, with the brilliant light of the fine summer's day streaming down upon the crosses and decorations and floating plumes ; a more splendid sight has rarely been afforded on the occasion of going up with an Address. Among the most prominent of the assembly was Mr. O'Connell in his robes of office as Lord Mayor of Dublin ; he occupied the seat in front of the chair of the Sergeant-at-arms, and was for some time engaged in conversation with several Hon. Members. Mr. Macaulay, Sir W. Clay, and Sir J. C. Hobhouse wore the Windsor uniform. None of the Cabinet Ministers were present, as their presence was required at the Palace. The Speaker wore the full robes of his high office. One of the most soldierlike and remarkable figures in the House, was Shi Howard Douglas; Mr. Ferrand appeared in a yeomary cavalry uniform, of a very hussar-like description, and Dr. Bowring and Mr. Brotherton, wore Court dresses. Not above four Members out of the large number present, appeared in plain clothes. The SPEAKEI: took the Chair at a quarter-1 a.:,1 two, and after an interval of a few minutes, Sir T. FREMANTLE moved the adjournment of the House till five o'clock. The motion was a g reed to, and the Speaker, preceded by the Mace, and followed by all the Members, quitted the House, to accompany the House of Lords to the Palace with the Address. The scene outside the House was of the most animated de scription. The sun shone brilliantly, and a finer day could not have been selected to add lustre to so enlivening a scene. At half-past two the Speaker left the House in his elegant state carriage, and he was immediately followed by the other Hon. Members in rapid succession. The Lord Chancellor and the Peers also set out at the same hour. As we have stated in another part of our columns, their Lordships and the Mem bers were all in full dress; add to this, the magnificence of the equipage's, the noble-looking horses with rosettes in their heads, the g ittering harness, and last, though not least, the gaudy dresses of the servants ; and we think our readers will easily imagine that such a scene as we describe, is not to be witnessed every day in our mighty city. A few slight contre Temps occurred, such as the breaking of a few carriage lamps, and the splintering of a f,o'e or two, but there was nothing happened of Which we heard of a more scions cliaracter. We need scarcely add that the whole way from the Houses to St. James's Palace was lined with anxious spectators. We did not observe any particular marks either of respect or disrespect paid to any Member of either House. All passed off very quietly. LAW INTELLIGENCE CHANCERY.-('PHIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR Fat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day, and after disposing of several lunatic petitions, the Court pro ceeded to hear thu further arguments in the part-heard appeal of ‘• Knight v. Frampton," which occupied his Lordship up to his rising, at half-past one o'clock, to attend the House of Lords. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY) GREET V. GREET. 'The arguments in this part-heard case occupied his Lordship the MASTER of the HULLS, the whole morning. VICE-uHANUERY-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) WADE V. RUSSELL. The further arguments in this part-heard cause occupied his Honour the whole day. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) STORY V. FRY. The arguments were resumed to-day in this part-heard cause, and occupied the Court to its rising. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIG RAM.) SMITH V. TIIE DUKE OF BEAL'FORT. The motion in this ease, which stood in the paper to-day, for the production of eertain papers, was postponed till to-morrow. HALL V. LAVER. The arguments in thia part-heard case were resunaed, and occupied the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) '1 he Court was occupied the whole morning in hearing the arguments in a motion for a new trial, in a case relating to a disputed right of way. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY) Mr. Justice Wightman sat for a short time this day, and dis posed of a few motions. Nothing of importance came before the Court. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY-.) The Court was occupied the whole morning with cases in the special paper. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY ) No case of any importance had occurred in this Court up to the time of our going to press. Lord Chief Juitice Tindal, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Jus tice Maule, and Mr. Justice Cresswell, sat in Banco. Mr. Justice Erskine sat at Nisi Prius in the Vice-Chancellor of England's Court with a Middlesex Common Jury, and wa9 en gaged the whole morning trying the case of Coles v. Terrey, which was an action fur false imprisonment brought by the wife of a policeman against a linen-draper. It appeared that the plain tiff had entered the shop of the defendant, and that while she was there some articles were missed, which defendant accused plaintiff of having taken. Plaintiff denied the accusation, submitted to be searched, when none of the missing articles were found on her, notwithstanding which the de fendant gave her into custody on a charge of felony. To recover damages for this false imprisonment, the present action had been brought. _ . _ The Jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damages 51. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) The Court was occupied during the entire morning in hear ing applications to bail, of which there were nine town, and eight country cases. None of them were marked by the slightest features of general interest. POLICE INTEL LIG ENCE. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) William Darcey was charged with creating a disturbance in the Surrey Theatre, and assaulting the constable in the execu tion of his duty. The complainant stated that the defendant was in the gallery of the theatre on the preceding night, and, by the violence of his conduct interrupted the performance. He first endeavoured to oust a female of her seat, and finding she would not give way he threw himself forward, and knocked several persons off their seats, and was proceeding to further acts of violence when he was taken into custody. He then made a most determined resistance, and kicked the witness severely on the legs. In defence, he said that he was tipsy ; he was fined 40s. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF TIIIS DAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 40k, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25 54 it follows that gold is 0.48 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4281 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 6i, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 74, i t follows that gold is 0.52 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1084 per cent., and the par of exchange between London ant America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.83 per cent. against Fngland. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 80 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. By the official returns published by the Customs, the export of the precious metals to foreign and colonial ports for the week ending Thursday last, were as under, viz.:— Ounces. Silver coin to Hamburgh .................. 153,500 Silver coin to Bombay l,OOO Silver bars to Ilamburgh 134.100 being the shutti ng o f t h e B an k pre p ara t or y to the payment of the dividends, a great pressure for money to " take in" Stock existed during yesterday. At the latter end of it, the Broker who usually operates for the Bank of England, came forward and took in some heavy accounts, and it was supposed that he was acting for that body. How ever the case may be, the Market experienced great relief thereby, and Consols closed at 92,E 924 for Money, and 93i 93i for the Opening, the 15th July. Bank Stock, 1671 16t,1 ; India Stock, 250 252 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 41 43 ; Advertised, 36 38 prem. The settlement in Foreign Securities has been easy, and prices remain as yesterday, Belgian Bonds 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 524. 53 ; the Five per Cents. lel 1011 ; Danish, 80 1 / 2 81 1 / 2 ; and Brazilian, 67 68. The quotation of Mexican is lower, being 37i 38. ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) BELFAST. The Committee selected to try the merits of the petition, complaining of the undue return of Mr. Emerson Tennent and Mr. J. Johnson, for the borough of Belfast, met at eleven o'clock in Committee-room No. 2. The following Members composed the Committee Hayter, Chairman, Sir A. L. Hay, Mr. Ward, Captain Pol hill, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. W. Bagge, and Captain H. Bernal. The Counsel engaged for the petitioners are Mr. Austen, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Leahey ; Agent. Mr. Coppock ; for the sitting Members, Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Whiteside ; Agent, Mr. Bates. The Clerk said there were three petitions, two from Lord Innishowen and Carrickfergus, and one from the electors, com plaining of bribery. The CHAIRMAN asked if it would not be better to have the room cleared to come to the usual resolutions ? Mr. AUSTIN said, it was the mole usual course to have the petition first read. Mr. TALBOT said that, before the petition was read, it became his painful but bounden duty to make an application to the Committee. The Learned Gentleman who had the conducting of the case was Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, and was only within the last half hour he (Mr. Talbot) was informed that Mr. Ser geant Wrangham was not. in a condition to attend this day. He held in his hands a note from him, in which he stated that he was confined to his bed—that he hoped he would be able to attend to-morrow, but that it was impossible he could do so this day. Although he (Mr. Talbot) would not shrink from any duty which may be cast upon him he hoped that the Committee, and more particularly the Hon. Chairman who belonged to the same profession with himself, feeling that a larger share of responsibility attached to the person who conducted the case, and that he was himself un prepared to discuss a question which he did not say would, but which may arise, would adjourn until he had an opportunity of conferringwithhis Learned Friend on the subject. It was matter communis famae that such a question may arise, because it had been made matter of discussion in the House of Commons, and he wished to consult with his Learned Friend on the subject. Mr. AUSTEN said that under the circumstances it was not his intention to offer any opposition to the application. He had seen the note to which Mr. Talbot referred, and it may happen to any of them to be in the same position. He should not therefore offer the slightest objection. The CHAIRMAN—Had we not better adjourn, then, to con sider the resolutions I spoke of before. Mr. A USTEN was afraid the Committee could not come to any decision, considering the question that may arise. The CHAIRMAN—Then I am afraid we will not be able to come to any resolution. Mr. AUSTEN—The Committee might discuss the question, and agree upon resolutions they were to promulgate to-morrow. The Committee then adjourned till eleven o'clock to-mor row, but remained in the room some time discussing the reso lutions. The petitions were not read, but we believe the allegations they contain are those of bribery, obstruction, illegal decisions, and intimidation. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. VISIT OF HER MAJESTV.—The scene at this house last night was most interesting, and must have afforded the deepest conviction to her Majesty of the enthusiastic loyalty and devo tion of the great mass of her subjects. The National Anthem had already been sung with loud acclamations, and the opera had already commenced when her Majesty entered her box. At that moment one burst of applause was heard from every part of the house ; hats and handkerchiefs were seen waving in all directions ; in short, there was every possible demon stration of the liveliest joy at her Majesty's escape from the late most villainous attempt. She stood at the front of her box evincing the greatest presence of mind, though evidently touched at the enthusiasm of the audience, and curtesied re peatedly, while Prince Albert bowed in reply to the loud con gratulations. The opera was not suffered to proceed till the National Anthem was again sung. Lablache and Persiani (who were not in the opera) joining the rest of the company. Her Majesty remained standing during the anthem, and at the con clusion of almost every line there was a fresh burst of applause, to which she returned a fresh acknowledgment. The words, " Scatter her enemies," in particular, called forth the most deafening acclamations. When the anthem was concluded, her Majesty took her seat iu the corner of her box, while one cheer more was raised. llercadante's opera, called Elena dg Feltre, was the piece last night, the same which, under the title of Elena Überti, was performed in an English dress at Covent-garden during the engagement of Miss Adelaide Kemble, who personated the heroine. Notwithstanding Miss Kemble's brilliant acting and singing, the piece had no great success ; but it was performed often enough to make the musical porticn of the public acquainted with it. At Covent-garden it was represented under great disadvantages. Onee, and once only, was t here a slight attempt at an encore, and that was at a song of Ron coni's in the second act. Frezzolini sang with fine expression, and with her usual boldness and truth of execution ; indeed, if anything would have created an impression in favour of the opera, it would have been her finale. Guasco sang with his wonted evenness, judgment, and taste. Her Majesty withdrew at the end of the opera, which their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Augusta also attended. The boxes were numerously tenanted, and included a large proportion of beau monde. The pit was not much crowded at any part of the evening. Her Majesty and Prince Albert were accompanied by Count Mensdort and four sons, Lady Portman, and Lord Rivers. In the Queen Dowager's box w ere the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, Prince George of Saxe Meiningen, Lord and Lady Sheffield, and the Hon. Mr. Ashley, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Augusta and Prince George of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Duke of Brunswick, Baron Nieumann, Marquis of Abercorn, Marquis and Marchioness of Titchfield, Marquis of Clanricarde, Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Douglas, Earl and Countess Cardigan, Earl of Liver pool, Earl of Falmouth, Earl of Home, Counteis of Kinnoul, Lady Ashburton, Lord Lowther, Lady Bowyer Smith, Lord Petre, Lord Sandys, Lord Templetown, Lady Loftus (Away, Lady Trimleston, Lady Catherine Beresford, ace. OLYMPIC THEATRE. Mr. Rede took his benefit last night, it being the closing performance at this theatre for the season. The house was well filled. Jack in the Water seemed to retain his popu larity; and the pretty views of Waterloo-bridge, by day-light and lamp-light, were much admired. At the conclusion of the performances, the following address wat delivered, which canoed much amusement to the audience : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—Though it is my province to make you smile, permit me for a moment to be serious. I cannot deny myself the pleasure of personally expressing my gratitude for the patronage I have enjoyed. Every piece produced here has been honoured by your approval. Though my season commenced on Michaelmas-day, goose has been unknown within my walls. Without enumerating all the novelties represented, let me declare that we received great benefit from Bathing—that the Artful Dodge was practised successfully—whilst a light piece respecting Lu cifers, had a Devil of a run. As to my pantomime, Riddle me riddle me Bee, I can only say the riddle was rightly in terpreted by you—that the Christmas folly attracted all children of smaller growth, and some of larger—that Tom Mathews, the successor of the clown, if he was not Grim all day, certainly made you laugh at night. Robin Crusoe made many a Friday happy ; and Whittington's Cat, from the muse of Mark Lemon, retained her faculty of aiding the fortunes of her master. Sixteen Stringed Jack, by Leman Rede, ran nearly a hundred nights ; and the termination of the season alone prevents Jack in the Water enjoying the same popularity. In fact, both my Jacks turned up trumps ; and I must in justice declare that the Two Lemons have sweetened, not aci dulated my bowl of happiness. To the ladies and gentlemen composing the company, and indeed every person connected with the establishment, I am indebted for cheerful and untiring exertion. I feel bound to express my gratitude to the authors who have supported the theatre by their pens ; and to the artist, Mr. Pitt, who has adorned it with his pencil. For the favours you have lavished on me as an actor and manager, I tender my heartfelt thanks, blended with your promise that your patronage of the past shall stimulate me to greater exer tion for the future. Let me, in the company's name and my own, untl next season, bid you farewell, with the fervent hope, that the happiness you have brought to my heart may never be absent from your own." CHURCH•RATES-GLORIOUS VICTORY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—This evening at 8 o'clock terminated a severe contest on a poll of four days for a Church-rate in this parish (Port sea), which has terminated most triumphantly in favour of Civil and Religious Liberty ! The Vicar declared the , statement of the poll to be— For the rate.. Against the rate 1,318 Majority against the rate....... —550 I hasten to communicate this important intelligence, that your Anti-Church-rate readers may know the result as early as possible through the length and breadth of the land, by means of your vast circulation.—l am, Sir, yours respectfully, WILLIAM BILTON, Chairman, Portsea Anti-Church-rate Committee. Portsea, May 31, 1842. The General Steam Navigation Company's Packet, Leith, that left Brown's Wharf on Saturday night, arrived at Edinburgh on Monday, after a most excellent passage of only forty-two hours. DEAFNESS.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly, directly opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, City, state that after 30 years extensive practice, they have Invented an Invisible Voice Conductor Sourkl Magnifier, of a metal to collect sound, peculiar to themselves : it is the size of a small gold seven shilling piece, and when fixed in the cavity of the ears it is not in the least perceptible, nor more uncomfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place : it enables individuals at an advanced age and of 40 and 50 years' standing of extreme deafness, as well as those who are only slightly dull of hearing, instantly to join in general conversa tion, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at church, theatre, &c.—and individual in company can place it in the ear and remove it unobserved ; it pours the conversation into the ears to such an extent, that in most severe cases, deafness cannot be ob. served. The Newly Invented Spectacles, immediately they are placed before imperfect visions, either by day or candlelight, that mist and dullness which appears before the eyes is at once removed, every object becoming clear and distinct, so that the most aged and defective eyesight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought to its youthful, natural, and original scale. These valuable Inven. tions have gained the patronage of the Royal Family and the un. qualified approbation of above 400 of the principal members of the Medical profession, and numerous individuals of high distinction, who have been greatly benefited by their use.—No connexion with persons of the same name—only to be had at 39, Albemarle. street, directly opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William street, City. - Although it was not generally known that her Majesty would hold a levee to-day, a :large concourse of persons assembled in the Park, from Buckingham Palace to St. James's, on the first appearance of preparation. The carriages began to arrive at St. James's about one o'clock, by which time Park, along the line described, was thronged by thousands. The police ; on the present occasion, allowed stools, chairs, tables, or anything of the kind, to be taken into the Park, in order that the public might obtain a perfect view of their beloved Queen. Since the days of Shakspere " Crowners' quest law" has been a jest and a bye-word. It was reserved for our '• Senior Coroner of the County of Dublin" to elevate crowners' questjudgments into consequence and notoriety. Sir Edward Sugden had better look to his laurels. There is a formidable competitor in the field, a; will be seen by the following exqui s to specimen of special pleading concocted by Mr. Paisley, the committal functionary On Sunday a Coroner's Inquest was held at Kimmage, on view of the body of a labouring man named John Wallace. The following- was the verdict returned : —" That on the 22c1 instant the said John Wallaceaccidentally, casually, and by misfortune, fell into a quarry at Kimmage, the property of Mr. Madden, and in the water thereof was sufficated, smothered, and drowned.---JOHN PAISLEY, Senior Coroner, County Dublin."—Dublin Evening Arad.
