BRUSSELS, JUNE 17.—The absence of the King and Queen will be for about a month. It is said that there will be a general promotion in the army to the ranks of General, Colonel, and Lieutenant-Colonel. Several superior officers will retire upon pensions. It seems that the debate on the project relative to sug r is deferred till the month of August. The petitions of the four persons condemned for the conspi racy have been transmitted to his Majesty by the Minister of Justice. They were to be submitted to the Council of Minis ters before the King set out for London. Lord de Saumarez, with his family and suite, arrived at Brussels on Friday. BRUSSELS, JUNE 20.-137 a Royal decree of the 19th of June, Al. Adolphus Dechamps is appointed Governer of the province of Luxemburg, in the room of Prince Joseph de Chanay. Major Pirson has arrived at Brussels, having terminated a journey to explore the interior of Texas, undertaken by order of the Government. His journey took him seven months. He has brought home documents concealing the political, financial, and commercial relations of that Republic, which are said to be extremely interesting. The sultry atmosphere whieh we have had for some time past was cooled last week, but the drought continued. Ye,tei day afternoon the earth was refreshed by a fad of rain very favour able to the crops, which are extremely promising all over the country.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The market has been exceedingly heavy dining the morn ing, and quite without business. This feeling may, perhaps, be traceable to the proceedings at the East India House yester day, as to whether the Company, or the country at large, is to bear the expense of the spar in Affghanirtan. Should the decision be in favour of the latter of these two propositions, though it would not decide. the question, }et it must necessarily materially influence the proceedings of the House of Commons, and, should it be confirmed by them, a loan, or acme such measure, would be actually required. The mover of the question is stated to be very sanguine that he will be able to carry it by a large majority, and the debate on Monday is lookedforward to with much interest. Prices, which can only be considered to be nominal, are— Consols 911 911 for the opening, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914 91%; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.

In the Share Market—Eastern Counties Debentures 101. 9s. 2d. the New Shares 61.95. 2d. ; and Brighton, 351. Those who had purchased the Three per Cent. Spanish Stock, in the expectation that the quotation would rise upon the declaration of the dividend, being more anxious to get rid of it, the market has been much pressed to-day, and it is now marked 221. Independently of this, the most sanguine friends of Spain take no pains to conceal their apprehension that the Ministry, as at present formed, possesses not only no stability, but the seeds of dissolution within itself, and that even if it venture to meet the Cortes, a short time only will elapse when the same scene of confusion which now exists will be re-enacted. The Five per Cents. arc marked 21i, but none other description of bonds. The proceedings at Clerkenwell police-office have attracted some attention in the City to-day. They 'show the extent ft) which the system at present in operation may be carried, and the serious injury to credit which may result from it. It is thought that had some magisterial proceedings been adopted, much public benefit might have been derived therefrom • the idea of suing a ba n k er ' s c l er k f or th e o ff ence of r efu s i ng legal coin at common law being considered as highly ridiculous. Accounts to the 3d April have been received from Buenos Ayres. It would appear that the army and the rebels were still opposite each other, but without anything decisive having been done by either party. The Argentine forces had had a skir mish with, and had succeeded in dispersing a party• of about 300 Santafecinas, killing and taking prisoner a large number of them, as well as obtaining possession of nearly -280 horses. The birthday of Roses had been observed as a holiday, and had been celebrated with much splendour. If the accounts can be relied upon he would seem to be extremely popular. Exchange on England 3id.

GRAND REVIEW OF THr, HOUSE HOLD TROOPS.- This morning, in consequence of it being supposed that her Majesty would honour the review with her presence, Hyde park exhibited a most numerous assemblage of fashionables in splendid equipages, and thousands, of pedestrians, who were mounted on tables, forms, chairs, and temporary platforms, anxious to view the soul-stirring scene, but, contrary to expec tation, her Majesty did not leave Buckingham Palace. The ground selected for the review was the flat spatie in the rear of the statue of Achilles. which was kept by a detachment of the 2d Life Guards, assisted by a strong posse of police. A batta lion of the Coldstream Guards occupied the centre of the line; on the right was posted the Grenadier Guards, and the Scotch Fusilier Guards on the left. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards kept the right, and the 2d the left flank; on the ground we observed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Counts Mensdorf, the Duke of Wellington, Lords Hill and Bloomfield, the Master-General of the Ordnance, Sir G. Mur ray, and several other distinguished officers. At 10 &clock His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by his Aides•du camp, arrived, and was received by the line presenting arms, the hands playing the National Anthem. The troops then broke into dtvisonal columns, and marched pail in slow and quick time ; after which several field evolutions were gone through with admirable precision. The Infantry then commenced firing by files, platoon, sections, and subsequently each battalion fired a volley alter the troops had again formed into a line. 'llis Royal Highness expressed himself in terms of satis faction to the several commanding officers, at the admirable state of discipline the different regiments were in. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS.--(THIS_ DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeal's. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Camp bell. COOTE V. LE POER FRENCH Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning wilt the arguments in this ease, which came before the House upon appeal from the judgment of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. VICE-CH ANC ERY.-(TH IS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) EYSTON V. SIMONDS.. This me was heard this morning. The bill prayed spe cific performance of a contract. His HONOUR, in pronouncing judgment, said the estate in question was purchased by the late Sir Jonn Gallint in the year 178;, who continued in the enjoyment of it until 1801. Since that time the parties interested had claimed under his title, The trustees, desiring to dispose of the property, put it up to sale, and nu blame attached to them for selling the property, believing, as they did, that there was a good title. It appeared, however, that ►n fact Sir John Galhid was an alien; that when he acquired the equitable title in the first instanee, he had not even acquired letters of denization, and that though he subsequently ac quired the legal fee, it was 'afterwards escheated. The objection was the subject of considerable negotiation between the vendor and the purchaser. It was contended in the Master's office that this was the case of a man selling an estate not his own without acquiring a new title, and riot suppoating the old one. He could not view it in that light. ;he title did exist, the estate was descendable, and the subject of conveyance. It was only subject to this contingency, that if the Crown thought fit to raise a claim, the title might be defeated. He thought the present title was clearly within 'the established rule of the Court, allowing a vendor within certain limitations of time to make good his title if he could even while, and in some instances even after, the case had lett the Master's office. The point which had struck him most was, that in the abstract, which was originally delivered, neither the letters of denization nor the alienage was noticed ; but it occurred to the purchaser that Sir John Gallini might have been an alien, and on his asking the question, in April, 1839, he was told that he was an alien. If the purchaser had held his bond, and said that he had been deceived, it was possible that he could not hare been compelled to complete the eon tract. Instead of this, however, the parties continued in negotiation upon the subject of the purchase, very prolonged negotiations took place, and it was not until the latter part of 1840, this having occurred in the spring of 1839, that the matter was finally broken off. Having regard to what had taken place between the parties he was of opinion that that point was not open to the purchaser. It appeared to him, therefore, that both points must be decided in favour of the vendor, subject to the obligation of paying the purchaser all his costs at law, and all the costs of this suit up to the confirmation of the report. EXCHEQUER.-( . THIS DAY.) THE CORPORATION OF COVENTRY V. LYTHAM, AND OTiSERS. This is a special case, in which the question at issue is, wile: ther certain parishes in the immedia.e vicinity of Coventry form part of the city, and are liable to the payment of the city rates, under the Municipal Corporations Act. The defendants contend that the parishes form part of the county of Warwick, and not of the adjoining city. The arguments in the case, which are expected to occupy the Court for some days, turn upon the interpretation of an cient statutes, and present no subject of general interest. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opened the case this morning for the plaintiffs. COMMON PLEAS-(TIBS DAY.) Before Lord Chief Justice TiwriAL and a Middlesex Special Jury.) MACREADY V. HARMER AND ANOTHER. - _ The Jury in this case having been called over, only eight Special Jurymen answered to their names, and a tales was prayed. The Jury, having been sworn, Mr. GRAY opened the pleadings. Mr. PLATT said this was an action brought by Mr. Macready, the celebrated actor, and the lessee and manager of Drury lane Theatre, to recover damages from the defendants, who were the proprietors of the Maly Dispatch newspaper, for the publication of a libel reflecting on his character, and cal culated to do him a serious injury. The libel complained of was a critique which appeared in the defendant's paper of the 2d January last. The plaintiff's theatre had opened on the 27th December preceding,. Previous to the opening of the theatre, the defendant's paper, in several incidental : notices, had spoken favourably of the plaintiff, arid bad expressed a wish for his success, but on the 2d of January this article appeared, which was not a fair criticism; of that the plaintiff would not complain. but of a tissue of false and ma- liciOns attacks, calculated to inflict serious injury on the plain tiff, both as a manager and actor, and as a gentleman. It ap peared that the public press claimed a right to have two free admissions to each theatre. An application was made on the part of the Dispatch for these admissions to Drury-lane, which was refused; the Dispatch had neither the ad missions nor the advertisements, and on 2d January, the week after the refusal, the article complained of appeared. (The Learned Counsel then read the article complained of, in which the writer, speaking of the conduct of Mr. Macready, with re gard to excluding persons of improper character from the Saloon, said that the arrangements at Covent-garden had already done all that could be done for keep ing the pure separate from the impure, but that Mr. Macready, under the pretence of virtue, made the matter infinitely worse ; because by collecting all those persons in one part of the theatre, he made them more conspicuous. It then censured him for enticing:modest women to frequent the Sa loon under the illusion I hat none but chaste women could enter it, and how, it asked, did he propose to exclude those who, although not so degraded as the lowest classes of those who frequented public places, were yet far from being virtuous and chaste, add ing that the mischiefought to have been foreseen, and that Mr. Macready ought to be ashamed of himself. It then proceeded to speak in severe terms of the company, and of Mr. Macready as an actor, saying, that although he was great in melodrama, his range was more circumscribed than that of any actor who had ever attained celebrity. It was bruin, always Bruin, nothing but howl and growl—tliat his mode of influencing the public tress was scandalous—that those who praised him were plentifully supplied with orders, and had his advertisements, while those who gave honest criti cisms had the supplies cut off—that he had formerly attempted to introduce the French system of claquers, but that it had failed because those persons had clapped when they ought to have been silent, and been silent when he expected the need of their assistance; that his abilities wete " cabin'd, cribbed, confined," and that his treatment of actors and actresses was ungentlemanly and harsh.) These remarks were certainly not fair criticism. It was a personal attack. It was not an attack upon his mode of conducting the theatre, but it imputed overbearing and ungentlemanly conduct to him, and that he had delibe rately entered upon a system, for' the mere purposes of base lucre, by which the pure and the impure were con gregated together. The defendants had not attempted to justify this libel, and Alr. Macready came then, to vindicate his rights as a British subject. tie was not to be assailed because he was the manager of a theatre. The power of the Press was a frightful engine. They had all heard of Mr. Alderman Harmer. He had felt its power ; and those who had felt the power of' the public Press were aware how it could be abused. The defendant, actuated by feelings of petty disappointment, displayed this rancour and indignity towards the plaintiff in the hopes to crush him. If they were of opinion that sae) was the case, the plaintiff would be entitled to heavy damages on account of the vast circula tion, of the paper that contained the libel. The following wit nesses were then called : Mr. John Williams—l contribute articles to the Dispatch I usually write theatrical articles. I remember the opening of Drury-lane Theatre on Monday, 27th December I , st. I went to the theatre on the Wednesday and the 'Thursday following. I did not go to the keeper of iho free-list office. lam not certain whether during that week I made any application to the keeper of the free list. I did some time or other make cpplicalion to him. I asked him what papers were in the free list. I was told that the Weekly Dispatch was not in the free list. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wzr.DE—lt is usual for the Press to have free admissions. The Dis patch has availed itself of these fire admissions. I have availed myself of the free admissions to the Haymarket. The practice continues of giving free admissions to the papers. I cannot tell the day I ascertained that the Dispatch was not in the free-bat of Drury lane. Re-examined by Mr. PLATT. —I seldom went to the Hay market except when a novelty was produced. The Dispatch had two admissions to the Haymarket. I paid for my admis :ion when I went to Drury-lane. I did not get there until late—at the commencement of the pantomime. I did not see Mr. Macready. This was the plaintiff's case. Sir T. Wrr.n.e said he thought Mr. Macready would have had more reason to complain of the Dispatch if they had praised him for being art actor of the greatest versatility. If they had said that in tragedy he was dignified and ma jestic, tender and pathetic in turns—that in comedy he was gentlemanly, elegant, light, graceful, and hi • larious, that in farce he was laughter-moving and humorous, and that in pantomime he was the most expert and dextrous harlequin who had ever appeared on the stage. If they had said this, and the audience had found when they went to see him, that instead of all this, Mr. Macready was the same in everything, then indeed he might have complained that his au ditors had been di,appointed, and a sern.usinjuty inflicted on him It was the duty of the press to purify and guide the public taste, and to prevent public nuisances. It was the terror of the press alone which prevented the public taste from bring polluted ; and provided a writer did not travel out of his limits, provided he confined himself in his criticisms on a public man to his public capacity, he might be as severe as he pleased without being libellous. A motive had been ascribed to the defendants that they had published this critique because Ali% Macready had refused them tree admissions: Why did Mr. Macready refuse them free ad missions, unless that he feared honest criticism? The article in question did not exceed the fair bJunds of criticism ; and if Mr. Macready had not been, be would not say the most sore-headed, but the most sensitive and excitable of mortals, this action would never have been heard of. If they thought his conduct with respect to the saloon calcu lated to produce moral evil, they were justified in commenting upon it. It was ridiculous to pretend that Mr. Macready'o management might not be criticised—to ask if they might not be permitted to discuss whether Mr. Macready was an actor of limited powers. He had been before the public for years. The public could judge. Did Mr. Macready imagine he was the only actor who ever lived with regard to whose merits all parties should be unani mous? If they returned a verdict for the plaintiff it would be a mockery to say that theatrical criticisms were free, and there would not be a bad actor, a bad singer, or a bad dancer who would not bring his action for libel. This was the fret attempt which had been made to put down criticism, and he hoped it would be the last. He therefore confidently expected their verdict would be for the defendants. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, in summing► up, said that the various topics commented on in the article were all fair sub jects for public discussion ; that a man occupying the station of Mr. Macready might be considered as public property, and was therefore fairly open to public observation. lf, however, they considered that the defendants had exceeded the bounds of honest discussion, and had assumed the cloak of honest discussion merely to hide private malignity, then their verdict would be for the plaintiff. The part of the publication, which seemed to him most likely to bear cut this inference was the commencement, in which the writer stated that Mr. Macready made a pretence of virtue. It. was, however, fo: them to determine, and give their verdict accordingly. The Jury then retired, and afier an absence of three quarters of an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, r..)/. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF ItIEHARD 1%10011.E The bankrupt was cieseribed as a hay-salesman and corn chandler. It appeared alio, in his subsequent examination, that he li3tl been the proprietor ot a pubic-house and livery-stables in 31ile-end-read. the amount of debts in his scheaule wa stated as under 2,0001 , and the available assets at about t 2901.

After a long and uninteresting discussion, the examination was adjourned fora month. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, GULIDHALL_(TH}S DAY.) Mary Lacy was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Copeland, charged with setting fire to the house of Mrs. Ro setta Moss, of North-buildings, Finsbury. Mrs. Moss stated that she engaged the prisoner as servant about a fortnight ago. Last night the prisoner came down stairs, and said the house was on fire. They immediately went up stairs and found the bed in one of the rooms on fire. The room was occupied by a gentleman who lodged in the house. They turned the bed over and put the fire out. The bed was on a mattress made of straw. Upon questioning the prisoner as to the origin of the fire, she said she supposed that some of the gentlemen must have been smoking, and have dropped a spark on the mattress. In about two hours afterwards, this transaction being at about six o'clock in the evening, the pri soner was sent up stairs to make the bed. She immediately came down stairs, and said the house was again on fire. A gentleman who was in the house went up stairs, and found the room in flames. He ran into the street and called fire, and part of the fire brigade, being at that time in the immediate vicinity of the house, came in and put out the fire. The fireman stated that he extinguished the fire and then examined the room. He found several lucifer matches on the mantelpiece, and observed that some had b een ru bb e d a long the top of the table, and had left a mark. The curtains of the window were burnt, and the bed-curtains, but nothing else. When he went in the girl was so much alarmed that she fiinted. The girl, in her defence, said she knew no.hingast;hOwthe . fire happened. Mr. Alderman CM'ELAND said he would send for the girl's father, to enter into recognizances for the appearance cf the prisoner when called upoa, in case any further evidence should be obtained against her. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A HOPEFUL LITTLE LOT.—Three little boys, named Daniel Madden, Thomas Maxwell, and John Welsh, all of them 13 years of age, and with the most villainous cast of countenance that one could come across in a day's march through " the Dials," or any other similarly classic neighbourhood, and whose shorn locks bore evidence of but a recent incarceration in some of those delightful seminaries for naughty boys—the Peniten tiary, Tothill-fields, or " the Mill" —were charged with the following robbery:— An intelligent.little boy, named Thomas Clinch, also 13years of age, stated that last night about eight o'clock he was taking a drink of water at the pump near the Freemasons' Tavern, when the prisoners came up to him, and Madden took a silk pocket handkerchief and a penknife out of his pocket. Wit ness immediately collared him, when he dropped the handker chief upon the ground. He then went to look for a police man, and whilst looking for one he saw Maxwell take a snuff box out of a gentleman's pocket. The prisoners were together all the time. Policeman, F 43, took the prisoners into custody. He found a snuff-box on Maxwell, and two ragged silk handkerchiefs on Madd,u, but nothing upon Welsh. Thompson, F 49, stated that the prisoners were all known to the police. Welsh had been several times convicted, and had been twice tried at the Old Bailey. The first time was for picking pockets at Greenwich Fair. Witness believed he had a very bad mother, who made him go out to steal. The other two had also been frequently in custody, but he could not re member what were the occasions. In answer to questions from Mr. HALL, Madden stated that he hal no father. His mother went out washing. He was in prison last about nine months ago for a month. Maxwell said that he had no father. His mother cleaned trotters in the sea son. He had never been in prison, only once before, about three ears ago, in Tothill-fields for ten days. Mr. HALL sentenced Welsh to three months, and the others to two months' imprisonment in the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH. STREET. (THIS DAY.) John Samuel Eclimrds, a young man evidently still labour ing under the effects of intoxication, and who stated himself to be the son of a master builder, living in Nottingham-mew s , High-street, Marylebone, was charged with committing a vio lent and unprovoked assault on Martha Spencer, a fruit-woman, and knocking a basket off her head, containing some fresh gathered strawberries, by which 12 gallons of fruit were entirely spoiled. The complainant stated that about ten o'clock this morning, as she was proceeding along Oxford-street with the fruit on her head, the defendant came up behind her and struck her with his doubled fist in the small of her back, and then knocked her basket off her head, and kicked it and the contents about the street. The value of the fruit was 165., besides her loss of time. The defendant said that she struck him first. Mr. AIALTBY said it was very unlikely she should do PO, and without he paid the amount of the damage he had so wantonly done, and also made her compensation for her loss of time, and the blow he had struck her, he should fine him very heavily. The defendant said he had no money about him, but he would send to his friends and get what was required. He was locked up in the meanwhile. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) A JUDGE AND Juitir CLUB.—Janies Gardiner, William Young, and James Freeman, were charged with committing a violent assault on Thomas Davis, under the following circum stances :—The complainant and defendants are all inmates of Christchurch workhouse, and are employed breaking stones for the parish. Of late a " Judge and Jury Club" has been estab lished by some of the male paupers. The complainant having recently committed some act against the rules of the society, was tried by a " Special Jury," and sentenced to receive two dozen with a broom handle, and to be afterwards rolled in some horse dung which was spread out in a corner of the place where they were at work. The sentence was accordingly car ried into effect, the defendants, who were described as the most trhubiesome men in the house, being the ringleaders and the 1 artier who inflicted the punishment. The complainant, in describing the circumstances, said that his back and shouldors were black aud,blue owing to the severity with which ho was beate❑ by his assailants. COTTINGFIAM inflicted a fine of 40s. on each of the de fendants, who, in default of payment, were committed for a month each to the treadmill. SOUTH•SEA ROUSE-(THIS DAY.)

The corvette Larne, 20, Captain Blake, arrived on Sunday from the East Indies and China, last from the Cape of Good Hope, having left Trincomalee so long since as the 7th January. The Sulphur and Starling, surveying vessels, were there, and were to sail for England early in February, so that they may be looked for daily. The Larne brings no news ; she has lost several officers by death; has been in commivion nearly five years, and is to be paid off at Chatham. The Wel lesley, 72, Captain Maitland, may be expected daily from the same quarter, and will come into this harbour to be paid off. The ships fitting out in this harbour arc the Pique, 36, Capt. 'Forbes, Albatross, 16, Commander Yorke, and Satellite, 18, Commander Gambier. The two latter are nearly manned, but are still in the basin. The .illtna is to be recommissioned at Plymouth by Lieut.

Monday last, this town has been perfectly tranquil. The fisher men took to their hcsats, and went to sea early in the week, and provisions having experienced a seasonable reduction in price, no further commotion is apprehended. It was feared that the country people, hearing of the violence committed on Monday, would not bring their goods into the market ; and on ‘Vednes day the supply was scanty, from that cause; bat an abund ance of potatoes was brought in on Saturday, and sold at four pence a stone. This ;is not an extravagant price, though a fraction over threepence always pinches the poor man ' • -but in the present dearth of employment any price at all must distress him.

THE COLNAGE.-PIX JURY A Privy Council was held }esterday, at the office of the Comptroller-General of her Majesty's Exchequer, for the pur pose of empanelling a Jury of twenty-four members of the Goldsmith's Company, to assay the gold and silver coins of the realm. 'I he Lords of the Council present were—the Lord Chancel. lor, Lord Mootnagle, the Duke of Buecleuch, Lord Wharn clifie, Lord Vesci and Fitzgerald, Lord Bexley, the Right Hon. Wm. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir H. Hardinge. The origin of an inquiry of this nature bears date so far back as the 18th year of the reign of Edward 111. Several ladies were present to witness the proceedings. The names of the Jury having been called over, and a fore man appointed, _ The . LORD CHANCELLOR addressed them to the following effect.—Gentlemen of the Jury, you have assembled here this day, agreeably to, and in accordance with, a very ancient custom, which is termed a trial of pix, or, in other words, to try the quality and weight of gold and silver lately coined at her Majesty's Mint. It will be your duty to ascertain whether the coinage corresponds with the standard required by law. The oa.h that has been administered points out your duties and obligations to the Crown, the public, and the Master of the Mint.. The Noble and Learned Lord then said, that the Mint indenture of February 6. 1817 (which was still in force), made it imperative that 46 29-40 sovereigns should be coined to the pound weight troy, of the standard of twenty-two carats of fine gold and two. carats of alloy. With respect to the silver coinage, it was ordered by the indenture to which he had re ferred, (dated in 1817), that all silver moneys coined should be after the rate of sixty-six shillings the pound troy, of the standard of eleven ounces two dwts. of fine silver, and I eighteen dwts. of alloy. the same standard was required for gold and silver coined for the West Indies—that coinage must correspond with the coin of the British realm. His Lordship proceeded to say that trifling accidents, trifling deviations must lat times occur. It was impossible that, in all instances, the coin could exactly correspond with the standard, and therefore, when an inquiry of that nature was first instituted, a provision had been made to meet any case Of trifling deficiency. Wi,h respect to gold, twelve grains were allowed in every Found troy. In silver, one dwt. in every pound troy. If no greater .deficiency than what he had stated took place in a new coinage, it was allowed, but if there was a greater deficiency, the Master of the Mint must render an account to the Crown, for he was responsible. If, on the other hand, there should lie an excess ' in the weight, the Master of the Mint was entitled to receive it ; and further, if the coin was wrong, it was imperative on the Master of the Mint to recoin it at his own expense, in a proper form and manner, agreeably to the pleasure of the Crown. This was not the first time he (the Lord Chan (senor) had had an opportunity of addressing a jury assembled for a similar inquiry. The question they had to determine was, whether the late gold and silver coinages were correct at the time they were issued, and they would he found so he had no doubt. He believed in no instance within the memory of man, in no instance since that inquiry was first instituted in the reign of Edward the Third, had there ever been a deviation which ex ceeded the limits. On the last occasion of a Pix Jury assem bling, their verdict was that the ccin was correct, but it fol lowed as a matter of course that the current coin must be in some degree altered by wear and time. On the present occa sion they were met to ascertain if the Master of the Mint had done his duty to the Crown and the public. With respect to both the Crown and the public, it was most important to ascertain if the different coins, when they were issued, cor responded with the standard required by law. At an early period—in the reign of Edward the Third—two plates, one of silver the other of gold, were made, and they were called "trial plates," and would be produced before the jury. Those plates were kept and secured in an iron chest in Westminster Abbey; that cheat had three locks, - the keys of which were in the custody of three different public officers, and they were only removed on occasions like the present, when it was in tended to have a new coinage. The box in which these plates and coins were deposited was only opened when it was her Majesty's pleasure to direct an inquiry like the present. It would then be their duty to take a piece of the trial pla'es and an exactly equal quantity of the coin of the realm, and alter assaying, ants making them into ingots, to see if they corresponded. 'llse assay would take place in their preycnce, in a room attached to that office, in which a furnace and the necessary apparatus bad been prepared. It was their bounden, their important duty, to see, and rightly ascertain, whether tl.e coinage, at the time it was issued from the Mint, exactly corresponded with the required standard ; and if they should find that it did not, if they were of opinion that it deviated to an extent not sanctioned by law, it was their dsity to say so, by the verdict which they would have to return to the Lords of the Council. The process would be carried on in their presence ; and on this particular occasion, said his Lordship, place no confidence in the honour or integrity of the Master of the Mint: you have an important, a solemn duty to perform—important to the Crown, and especially im portant to the public. He had no doubt the gentlemen he was addressing would do their duty satisfactorily. When the trial was over he would receive their verdict, and direct that it should be recorded in the usual form. The Foreman of the Jury suggested that the verdict should be received that afternoon in the private room of the House of Lords, or at his Lordship's residence in Great George-street, Hanover-square. The. Lortr, CHANCELLOR—If you are prepared, I will receive your verdict in my private room at the House of Lords, at a quarter before four o'clock ; after that time at my residence in George-street. Their Lordships were invited to dine at Goldsmiths' Hall in the evening, it being the usual custom of that wealthy Com pany to give a splendid banquet upon occasions like the present, wh:eli only occur once in the course of several years. During the short time Mr. Abercrombie was Master of the Mint, the silver coinage in threepenny, twopenny, and three halfpenny pieces for the service of the West India colonies, amounted to the total value of 10,0151. 10s. The amount of gold coined during the time Mr. Labouchc►re was Master of the Mint, amounted to 6,400,5461. Silver coin during the same period, 1,399,5031. 12s. For circulation in the West India colonies, 71,0161. Since Mr. Gladstone has been appointed " Master and Worker" of her Majesty's Mint, the total value of gold coined is 384,069/. ; silver coin, value 40,5901. After the address of the Lord Chancellor, the Jury retired to make the necessary assay of the coins which had been given to them, and the Council adjourned. . Her Majesty will give a concert of vocal and in strumental music to.morrow (Friday) evening, at Buckingham Palace, fog which invitations on a limited scale have been issued. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Belgians and suite, will leave town this afternoon, to honour the Duke and Duchess of Buceleueh with their company, at Queensberry Villa, Richmon3.

CRICKET. THE GREAT MATCH BETWEEN THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND TUE NORTHERN COUNTIES AT LORD'S.— The grand match between eleven picked gentlemen and players of the MarylebOne Club, and a similar number selected from five of the Northern Counties of England, terminated on Tuesday evening at L or d' s , i n f avour of the Cluh, after two days' scientific play. This match hog excited very great interest among the Clubs, particularly in the North, as it was known that both the Marylebone gentlemen and the Counties in ten!ed to brin 4 their ful strength into the field ; this consequently occasioned considerable speculation, and bets to an immense amount were pending the result. For some time previous, and also at the com- mencement of ti7.e match, the Marylebone eleven were decidedly the favourites. There was, how- I .. ever, considerable fluctuation in the betting during the game, the Counties at one time being backed at long odds ; but, as the contest advanced, the Club occupied their former position, and with an increased number of supporters. The match attracted a very large concourse of specta tors, including several distinguished members of the beau monde, among whom we noticed the Marquis of Worcester, Earl Verulam, Earl of Aboyne,. Viscount Folkestone, Viscount Brooke, Viscount Grmistone, - Lord E. Hill, Lord H. Loftus. Lord F. Beanelerc, Lord C. Russell, Lord Adolphus Fitzclareuce, Sir H. Campllell, the Hon. Colonel Lowther, the Hon. F. Ponsonby, the Hen..S. Ponsonby, the lion. R. Grimstone, the Hon. F. ' Grimstone ' the lion. W. Ch o l mon d e l y , C o l one l H a ll , M r. R. Peel (the eldest son of the Premer, a first-rate cricket er, and one of the Oxford elven,), the Countess of Vent• am, and Viscountess Folkestone. The play altogether was first-rate, the bowling. of Hillyer, and the batting of Mr. Anson, Mr. Taylor, Good, and Barker being particularly admired. Fuller Pilch, who has the reputation of being the first batsman in the world, did very little execution on this occasion, being bowled out by Barker in his first innings, without scoring a run, and his second scoring only 18. Bayley and Red gate also exhibited some very line bowling. The fol lowing is a correct copy of the scoring papers :—Mary lebone, first innings, Hillyer (b. by Barker), 18 ; Mr. T. A.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. mom TIM MORNING PAPERS OF MIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The complaints against the Bank of Eng land for refusing to pay out silver do not subside. The private bankers, we hear, will not past with what they have in store, and urge, as a sufficient reason, that the Bank of England will not supply them with more. It is quite true, at the same time, that there was lately a "surplusage" of silver. The Govern ment received several waggon loads of it from China, and large remittances have come to hand from time to time from Mexico, and other revs of South America. We are thus at a loss to account for the scarcity now experienced, and cannot believe that there is any real went of silver in the Bank of England. We are induced rather to believe that there may be something in the charges made against the Old Lady, that she en courages the Government in issuing their recent proclama tion, under the expectation that it would throw a large addi tional quantity of her paper into circulation ; that the Direc tors are, therefore, not a little disconcerted in finding that the deliverers of light gold call for silver more generally than Bank paper; and that they are, therefore, making silver scarce, in order to compel the public to draw out their notes. 'I his charge is very generally made against the Bank, and the large influx of silver lately received into their coffers tends to strengthen the probability, more particularly when viewed in connexion with the statement made by the Master of the Mint last night in the House of Commons. But, whatever may be the cause of the scarcity, there can be no doubt of the fact that it is experienced, and that it is creating additional incon venience and embarrassment. A gentleman in the City asked for three sovereigns and forty shillings in silver from the Bank, in exchange for a live-pound note. He did so under the im pression, that as silver was a legal tender up to 405., he had a right to demand payment of the Bank paper partly in gold and lastly in silver up to the amount for which silver is a legal tender. His demand, however, was refused, the Bank autho rities maintaining that it was optional on their part to pay partly in silver, or otherwise, as they chose, and that they could not be compelled to do sa. The Bank of England says —we have the option of paying our notes altogether in gold, or partly in gold and silver. The holder has no option. Ac cording to equity the law should he exactly the reverse of this. The holders should be enti4ed to say to the debtor, "pay me in gold for these notes, or so much in gold, and on each note so much, up to the legal tender, in silver." if the holders do not possess this option, there ought, at all events, to be some Go vernment office where the legitimate wants of the public shou'.d be supplied ; but, instead of that, silver is a strict monopoly in the hands of the Government and the Bank of England, and the public have no place of resort to obtain silver except the Bank, whose doors are now shut against them. POST.—The quotations for Spanish Bonds yesterday were 211,- 24 for the Five, and 231 233 for the Three per Cents. ; to-day they have been 213 2le and 2e31 233 respectively—the advertisement for the payment of the dividend due on the 30th instant having appeared in the interval. 'I his decline goes far to show the estimation in which these things are really held at a time when any doubt as to the receipt of the dividend ought to have been dissipated ; when from every appearance a Ministry had been formed, and outbreaks had been quietly put down, quotations of the bonds decline, instead of rise. The real solution is to be found in the fact, that no reliance can be placed in the certainty of future or regular payments, and the evens injustice which is being committed upon the original cre ditors by the overthrow of the old claims. Neither nation nor individual can maintain credit by a continuous system of bor rowing to pay interest, which as semi us obtained becomes prieeipal, and the nucleus of an indefinite amount of debt, o {itch, when too large to be borne by an insolvent, must necessarily be thrust aside. Experience has completely proved that not the slightest reliance can be placed upon any promise or ti tree which may be made or issued on the subject of Spanish finances, each having been successively repudiated as soon as it had fu filled the purpose intended, or found to be insufficient for the effect which it was meant to produce, without refe rence to the parties who might be affected by such proceedings. And in the present condition of the Spanish revenue, the holders of the Three per Cent. Stock can expect no other fate than that their claims also will be thrown into the common heap immediately capitalists refuse to lend any more towards the dividends. The mote the nature of the bonds be known the less valuable they become, and, therefore, the less inducement to Make advances ; hence every day brings the crisis nearer, which sooner or later must arrive. The Chronicle has for the last day er two been again endea vouring by second editions to raise the quotation of these do cuments:, its peculiar pets. Yesterday, by the early edition, under " Spain," in the most conspicuous type, the public were informed by extraordinary express that an outbreak had taken place at Figteiras, which would be easily quelled. This had scarcely been read when a second edition, brought by a nother extraordinary exiirese, stated th a t an out b rea k , S ec , had been easily qu e ll e d— t h e on l y diff erence b etween th e two being a change i n th e t ense . T o -d ay a t hi rd extraor di nar y express brought the offici a l accoun t s o f t h e f ormat i on o f a Ministry, which fact had been known to the public twenty-four hours previously. The clumsiness with which these have ben ma naged would of itself have excited suspicion, bad it g et been —.— b rig since notorious that these second editions were peblishe n-.erely for stock-jobbing purposes. As the expense cannot xceed printing a few additional papers, the game may be played with but little loss, though the object 'sought to be gained by them may not be attained. SUN.—No new feature occurred in the F.nglish Markel since yesterday morning, and Conscls left off at 91a sellers for the opening, ex dividend ; Reduced, 94 914 ; Bank Stock, 1674 1684 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 45 47 ; New, 40 42 prem.

The explanation given by Sir George Cockburn to the charge that some sailors, late paid off from a ship of war, had received their wages in light sovereigns, is strongly corrobora tive of the view of the question which has been taken in'-The Sun. The Government stand cornp:etely exonnerated from that portion which relates to cheating the sailors, but not by any means from the condemnation for exposing them, and the poorer classes as well, to be cheated by tho,e to whom the coin was tendered. It is new admitted by a servant of the Crown, tlaat a trade is being carried on in the coin of the realm, be it light, or be it of standard weight ; and it can only be con cluded that.the whole of the gold now in general circulation is, by the late measure, greatly depreciated. The evil has already been seriously felt, but enough still remains unpresented to render it expedient to give some relief. The scarcity of silver remains unabated, and it is to be feared that, if means be not' adopted to increase the amount, more serious consequences•imay arise. DEATH OF MR. YATES. --- We regret to announce the death of Mr. Frederick Yates.. the spirited, enterprising, and talented performer and manager of the Adelphi Theatre, which took place on Tuesday after noon at Euston-square, having just reached town by the Bir mingham Railway. It will be remembered that he had once or twice ruptured a blood vessel, andhe had for some time been in a declining state. The foilowing are a few particulars relative to the life of this actor, who has been twenty-four years before the London public, seventeen of which he discharged the duties of manager of the A delphi. The deceased performer was born on the 4th of February, 1797 ; his father was a tobacconist, eastward ,of Temple-bar. At the first school to which he was assigned, lie (subsequently) met John Reeve. From " Winchmore House" he was sent to the Charter House, and from thence he emerged, under the pa• tronage of Rowland Stephen:ion, the banker, to enter the Com missariat Department. But he soon after turned his thoughts to the stage, and obtained an engagement at the Edinburgh Theatre, where he performed both in tragedy and comedy with applause. His first appearance, however "on any stage" was at I3oulogne, where be played Fustian to the Sylvester Dagger wood of Matthews. In 1818, he made his debut at Covent-garden, in the part of lago, but only received the applause due to mediocrity. His representation of Falstaff, in April, 1819, on the same stage, was more successful. Lis next character of importance %tat Berthold, in 3laturin's tragedy of Fredolpho ; but the imme diate condemnation of the piece prevented Mr. Yates from re. peating the part. He remained at Covent-garden for five seasons, playing a, diversity of parts, employed his vacations in visitine. Bath, Edinburgh, &c., and was at last engaged at Vauxhall Gardens, where he was announced to give an entertainment a la Mat thews ; unfortunately at rehearsal he fell through a trap and broke his leg, which at once put an end to his engagement. From this accident he speedily recovered an,l went into the provinces with a " Budget. He t e-appeared at Covent-garden in September, 1821, and continued at that theatre until 1825, when, in conjunction with Daniel Terry, he took the Adelphi Theatre. Wrench, John Reeve, T. P. Cooke, Wilkinson, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, Mrs. Hughes, besides the two managers and Mrs. Yates (Miss F. Brunton, niece of the Countess Craven and daughter of John Brunton, for many years a member of the Covent-garden company, and afterwards manager of the Exeter, Plymouth, and Weymouth theatres), whom he had mar ried at Bath, in November, 1823. Yates subsequently took the Colosseum in the Regent's Park, in conjunction with Brahaan, but it proved a bad speculation. Amid the myriads of performers engaged -at the Adelphi during Mr. Yates's management may be named Power,_ T. P. Cooke, O. Smith, Bu c k s t one , B o lt er , Si nc l a i r, Rice, Wrench, Hackett, Downe, Wilde, Reeve,Wilkinson, Wilkinson Keeley, Mrs. Fitz. William, Mrs. Ho ne y, Miss Graddon, Mrs. Keeley, Mrs. Grat ton, Mrs. Waylett, and Madame Celeste. The last season of the Adelphi was ushered in by the no velty of " real water," and a successful season was concluded on the Saturday preceding last Passion week, when Mr.- Yates. delivered as usual a valedictory address. Immediately after the close of the Adelphi, Mr. and Mr% Yates, with Bedford, Wright, and others, started for Dublin. He suffered considerably during the voyage, but rallied on reaching shore. On th e S a t ur d a y prec eding Easter Eve, whilst rehearsing Lord Skindeep, in Douglas Jerrold s Bub. bles of the Day, he felt suddenly ill, and putting his handker chief to his mouth found he was spitting blood. With great presence of mind he avoided giving any alarm to Mrs. Yates, but said, " Bess, I s h a ll .go away now ." He instantly repaired to. Morrison's Hotel, which he only left to return and die in his own land. Ile has left a widow and a son to deplore his loss. BitIT!SH - A - i§ - 0131AT1i.4 - N - FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE '2l.—The preparations for holding this, the Islth meeting of the Asso ciation are now nearly completed, but according to the pre• gramme lately issued by the local council, although there is every prospect of this proving one of the roost interesting of any of the meetings that have been held, there is some de ticiency in the minor details which have heretofore proved some of the most attractive objects of these annual assem blages. This is particularly remarked in the circumstance that but few of the manutacturing establishments of this large and wealthy town will he thrown open for the inspection of the members, although, on the other hand. the list of scientific papers to be read at the different sections, par• ticularly in the mechanical and geological depaxtmeets, and I already received by the secretaries, is very considerable. As President, there is the Right Honourable Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., end as Vice-Presidents, the Venerable John Dalton, D.C. L., F.ll. S., and the Honourable and Very Rev. W. Herbert, LL.D., F.L.S Dean of Manchester ; Dr. IV. C. H enr y, F. R.S. ; S; r i3enjamin Heywood, Bart., F. H. S. ; and the Rev. Professor Sedge ick. The presidents nominated for the sectional meetings, who are no less distin guished, are, for Section A, Mathematical and Physical Science, the Very Rev. G. Peacock, Dean of Ely ; Section B, Chemis try ,and Mineralogy, Dr. Dalton, ; Section C, Geo logy and Physical Grog' aphy, R. J. Murchison, Esq., I". R. S., President of the Geological Society; Section D, Zoology and Botany, the Dean cf Manchester ; Section E, Medical Science, Dr. Edward Holme, F. L.S. ; Section F, Statistics, G. W. Wood, Esq., M.P., F.L.S. ; and Section G, Meahanical Science, Rev. Professor Willis. The other officers of the several committees will be elected to-morrow at the meeting of the General Committee, which consists of the representatives of nearly, every scientific society in the United Kingdom. The sections commence their meetings for scientific business on Thursday morning., at eleven o'clock, and the first general evening meeting will be held at eight o'clock, at the Quaker,' Meeting-house, Mount-street, where the chair will Le taken by Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., to whom it will be resigned by Professor \Vhewell, the President of the last meeting at Ply mouth. There will be a promenade and a soiree on Friday and Tuesday evenings, et eight o'clock, in the Royal lustitution and Athemeurn, which al ill be united by temporary erections for the purpose ; and the concluding general meeting of the Committee will take place in the Quakers' Aleetingshou,e, Mount-street, on Wednesday, when the proceedings of the Ge neral Committee, arid the grounds of the several grants of money sanctioned by it will be explained. The only exhibitions as yet arranged are in the united rooms of the Itoal Institution and Athenaeum, a collection of philosophical instruments, speci mens of natural history, and manufactured products; whilst there will also be in one of the rooms the series of Raphael tapestries for which the Cartoons were designed. There will be an exhibition of mechanical inventions, On a large scale, at the Old Garrett Dye Works, Lower Brook-street; and a grand horticultural exhibition on Friday, in the Botanical and Horti cultural Gardens at Old Trafford. The excursions arranged for the present are, to the fossil trees at Dixonford, en the line of the 13olion Railway; to the principal sections of strata of geological interest in the neighbourhood of the town; and to the Worsley Tunnel and collieries. I-mm the facilities of approach, particularly by means of ternal communication, a very large influx of visitors is antici pated: Amongst foreign visitors who have already arrived, is Professor 13essels,:the celebrated astronomer, from Kcnigshurg, tng,ether with several professors from the different Hessian academies, who will, for the first time, visit thes annual aseem blege. Although there is a lack of any general enthusiasm, as has been shown on some previous occasions, the reception of the members will, this year, he liberal and satisfactory; and it may be noticed that, although a very large influx of visitors in expected in the present and ensuing week, the prices of accommodation, at hotels and private houses. have io no instance been raised. HULLAU'S CLA6SES. The third great choral meeting took place last night at Exeter Hall, of a body of singers under the tuition of Mr. Hullah, whose numbers and power must have sufficed to con• vince every spectator that the phrase " Singing for the million 7 is anything but an exaggeration. Ti Ir.grarnme, if not identical with those of preceding. meetings, was of the same character. Among the pieces were Haydn's Hymn for the Prince of Wales, and Nkiihern's pet song, " 'rho Spinning Wheel," both of which received the dis• tination of an unanimous encore. Seats were reserved for the following distinguished persons, most of whom, including Sir R. Peel, Lord Wharncliffe, Mrs. Howley, and their respective parties, we nnticed in their places at the commencement of the performance :—Sir Robert and Lady Peel, Puke and Duchess of Sutherland and party, Mrs. Howley and party, Earl and Countess of Haddington, the Lord President of the Council and party, Marquis of Exeter and party, lion. and Rev.
