When we find Sir ROBERT PEEL falling under the ob,urgations of the ultra-Tories, it is, perhaps, our duty to take him under our protection. In proportion as he is attacked by the Pot and the rabidi of his own party, he rises in our estimation. We are almost compelled to believe he is doing good, though we dis trust him, and repudiate the means he employs, when we find him furionSty assailed by ignorance and bigotry. Perhaps 'sonic of our readers, who attend closely to polities, nay recollect a Sir RICHARD VTVYAN in Parliament some - eight or ten years ago. The Hon. Baronet sat then for Bristol, if we recollect right,-and was distinguished for making a few long and furious speeches in the House of Commons against freedom in every shape, which no Journal ever honoured, except the Standard. This ultra-Tory Baronet; who was thought at one time to make pre tensions to be Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has been returned to the present Parliament for the borough of Helston. He has, however, given up making speeches and taken to write pamphlets. A production of his, in the shape of a letter to the Elec tors of Helston, has lately been published, which makes some curious revelations as to the Tory party. From the position of the Hon. Baronet, he is a good witness to what is going on in its interior, and we shall quote some parts of his letter to explain that : The leader of the Oppo.4tion, who had originated the vote of distrust before the dissolution, was commissioned by the Queen to form a new Government, and the con- . stitueneles looked for Ward with confidence to an imme diate eas , zation of Ministerial endeavours to unsettle ex regulationS affecting agrieniture and trade, while they hoped , that some of the obnoxious changes effected by the Whigs, nore especially as regarded the Poor-law Connitission, , might he reconsidered. They were fully justified in" 'entertaining these expectations. Appeals bad been made to them upon such questions against the Whir, anti they had laboured with zeal to promote the election of Members in whose- assurances of opposition to the mcasureS of the late Governmont they had full re liance.' Under such auspices Sir Robert Peel became bur Majesty's Prime Minister. Although the mystery with which some of his more e,infidential supporters, and the new subordinate place holders, talked of the plans of their chiefs, was most alarming to the main body of those Members of Parlia ment who had concurred in ejecting their predecessors, there was so general a disinclination to suppose them capable of adopting the policy of those who had pre ceded them that hints upon the subject were almost treated as insults. Until the Duke of Buckingham entitled the Cabinet, shortly before the commencement of this session, it is evident, that 'even in that Council tin-re could have been.no fixed determination to bring forward free trade measure!. Yet the retirement of his Grace was a fact which justified all previous doubts, and it prepared the nation for sonic propositions in which the agricultural interest was to be attacked. Thenceforward, from the opening of the session to the present hour, the country has been kept in a constant state of apprehension. The Hon. Baronet is somewhat endeared to .us by making a vigorous attack on the Income-tax, againSt which he voted, and which he describes as an in tolerable burden carried through the house of Com mons in a most arbitrary manner. Ile is, however, a determined enemy to free trade, and therefore :he. severely attacks Sir Ron Ear PEEL. - Let the reder remember, however, that the writer of 'the following passage is a Tory, who must have experienced the effects of those methods Of forcing Gentlemen to vote, of which he so feelingly complains : ;Ile House of Commons, at the beginning of the i'“'s ( mt session, consisted of only two sections—that which supported Sir Robert Peel's Government, and that which adhered to the late Administration. Any Conservative inclined to act independently was ob noxious to the cabal ly% whom themtaii a r ss n o s f t the hin party w ere influenced ; they were warned marplot ; his private declaratio ns o f a wish a to thin i k a a s nd a act in accordance with his own opinions c u i p e on t any point, were either scouted as those of n person, en tertaining what were called " crotchety" notions—or as thOtie of a mutineer in the ConserVative re g iment, incul iee ea ting disobedience to his superior oftieer* , because he h .beeti.diasppointed in the attainment of seine (.f ; his , persoifal ambition he, was derided as an, object acid alarmist, or stigmatised as a dissatistiedpl re ly a, hunter, who grumbled because he bad not been aced in office. The surmise of a suspicion th4t the lat e cloaca of Government would - disappoint' the Conservative con stituencies, who had acted with so much energy and con-. fidence during the general election, was sufficient to isolate the Member who, ventured to suggest it. Yet this plan of keeping the members of a party together, by stifling the expression of independent opinion, and degrading the self-respect of each in dividual, or of. endeavouring to convert . a body of high-minded noblemen and gentle Men into a regi ment of partisans, never can prevail ultimately. A vast majority of those - who constitute the Conserva tive party in Parliament are tbo.well informed, and too conscious of their own dignified position before the country, to bo led on from one error to another, under the guidance of a few intriomers,• many of whom are subor:linate persons, not Members of Parliament, and not entitled to respect on account of their political tion. Such a mode of exerting a sinister influence could not have prevented the resuscitation of an independent party, after the declaration of the Ministerial intentions, hich were announced in the Queen's speech, if . Sir Robert Peel had not ac_ompanied his declaration by the threat, that unless his measures were carried he would resign—a threat distinctly made in his speeches on several oc:asions In ordinary times, this method o" attempting to force great changes in the existing law through Parliament . would have had no effect upon the Conservative majority for, however I may have - presumed to differ from that majority, I believe that t:Lere never was a House of Com mons more inclined to act independently, and in accord ance with the wishes of their constituents, when it first met, than that which was elected during the last summer. But the public feeling then manifested against the measures of the late Ministers was immediately treated in the spirit of party, as if the nation enter tained a greater objection to their persons than to their policy ; and as Sir Robert Peel's threat of re signation implied the supposed necessity of their return, to power, it had its full effect in compelling almost every individual in the Conservative party to vote for the new'Corn-law, the Income-tax, and the Tariff; notwith standing his objection to such measures. The dread of seeing the Whigs restored to place banished all other con siderations ; not only did they submit to the Minister's dictatorial manner, but they scarcely ventured to offer . a few words in debate against it. Unfortunately for the country,. must of the leaders in opposition have not ab stained from holding indiscreet language. about the so called principles of free trade, which justifies. the fears of the Conservatives, that should Sir Robert Peel's Go vernment resign, they will be succeeded by Ministers still more hostile to the interests which have been at tacked so unexpectedly by the present Administration. In this apparent choice of evils, they believe the safer course is to submit to an inflictitin, upon the full extent • of which no man has yet endeavoured to enlarge in his place in Parliament. Poor Sir RICHARD does not like to be called a marplot," a " crotchety man," or represented as disappointed, and, therefore, he preaches against his whole party, and declares that many of them have dishonestly voted against their own convictions merely from terror of the Whigs. They have according to their view sacrificed the public interest to keep out the hated Whigs. We shell quote another short passage, which Viscount Almnootw.ti said on Friday night was very well expressed, and then leave our readers to form their own :udginent of the Tory party and the Tory Chief from the testimony of one of his followers. The nation at large is never either Whig or Tory ; the people only look to ate mess -res of a Government, and are indifferent Rhea the prospect of ths or that party losing or gaining office. Last year the ploductire classes believed their interests were in jeopardy when Parliament was dissolved, ard they were wearied by the constant attempts of .he Whig Administration to disturb the exis ing laws. At thepresent moment they are equaly alarmed; but they are more disgusted with tly.: conduct of public men, because the leaders of the Tory party, if not chargeable with deceptive promises before they be came Ministers, allowed the constituencies who returned the majority of the Uouse of Commons, to deceive them selves. Mr. Palmer, one of the Members for Essex, has la t ply declared in Parliament, that had his constituents been certain that the present Administration would act. as they bare done, and had he declared his intention to support such measures previously to his election, he could 'not have obtained the votes of 50 Conservative electors in his county; and no Minister who heard this declaration ven tured to contradict it. The following • notice appears in the votes of the Commons of Friday, for Saturday, June 18 : Mr. Wiliam Gladstone, in Committee of the whole House, to propose the following resolution :—" That it is expedient to permit foreign wheat to be delivered, under certain regulations, from the warehouse or from the ship, duty, free, upon the substitution into the warehouse, or the delivery for exportation, of equivalent quantities of flour and biscuit." No mention of the subject, however, is made in the report of the debate on - Saturday, and we prt smne, therefore, it was not then submitted to the House. Had that taken place, we might have found it less necessary to explain its scope and object. Mr. Hurr had taken up the subject, which has been a favourite with some Liberals for several years past, but we infer, from Mr. GLADSTONE'S notice, that the Go vernment has taken it out of Mr. Hurr's hands, and means to carry a measure successively proposed by Mr. P. TnomsoN, Mr. WARBURTON, and Mr. HUTT, to a conclusion. Its object is to confer some benefit on the grinding and shipping interest. In the debate on "May 25, Mr. GLADSTONE stated that there are at pr6sont rules of the Custom House by which every article, except salt provisions, lying in warehouse, might be delivered. (as ships' stores) with out the payment of any dues whatever. The Custom House rule is this : ‘• Warehoused goods may be delivered into the charge of the searchers, to be shipped as stores without entry or payment of any duty for any ship of the burden of 70 tons at least, bound upon a voyage to foreign parts, the probable duration of which out and home will not be less than forty days." According to those regulations, whenever Mr. GLADSTONE'S proposition to allow biscuit to be sub stituted for foreign wheat in bond, on which no duty his been paid, shall be carried into effect, all our shipping engaged in foreign trade will be easily victualled with foreign-grown corn, made into biscuit here, as well as with foreign fatted and cured beef. As far as the plan goes it is good. The great objection we make to it is that it is partial. Why should the (*Maim House and the Board of Trade confine this great benefit of provisioning ships cheaply to ships engaged in the foreign trade ? What have the owners of coasting vessels done, that they are not to have the same advantage ? What have the manufacturers done too ; and what have the hulk of the working classes done, that they may not have cheap food as well as the shipowners engaged in foreign trade ? The Ministers profess a wish to give relief to the labouring classes, but except, as such a regulation may give a little more:employment to our millers, biscuit-bakers, and sailors, it will be exclusively an advantage to one class of shipowners. To the sailors it will be of no benefit, for the plain reason that the owner supplies them with proviSions, and they only victual themselves when they are on shore. As a small abatement of the landlords' monopoly, leading perhaps by smuggling to a large abatement— as a means of giving employmept to our millers, and faCilitating our shipping in supplying such colonies as Newfoundland with ships' provisions, and as lower ing the cost of, proviaioning our own ships engaged in foreign trade, the measure has our hearty approbation. We only blame it for narrowness, incompleteness, and partiality. • At the same time it reflects no credit on the Lc- g*.slature, that it is obliged to make such a multitude of laws and regulations as a substitute for the simple rule of allowing every man to trade when and where he likes. Poor as the alteration is, Mr. GLAD.' STONE, unless supported by the Liberals, is not likely to carry it, for it is the counterpart of a measure which they have frequently proposed, and the land owners, headed by the present Paymaster of the Forces, have always resisted. A British Jury has found Jour; FRANCIS guilty of high treason, and a British Judge has sentenced him to die the death of a traitor. His crime was clearly proved, and substantially no other defence was set up but that the pistol wes not loaded with a bullet—a count of the indictment upon which the Jury acquitted him, finding him however guilty of having loaded with some other deadly substance. Mr. CLARKSON'B defence of the pri soner was able and judicious, and, considering the heart felt devotion of all classes in this country to our young and amiable SOVEREIGN, and the difficulty of approach ing the consideration of a subject so interesting to every British bosom, without . prejudice, no political offender ever had- a fairer trial.- The. atrocity of the crime was rather intimated than dwelt upon by the ATTORNEY GENERAL. It was impossible *o describe an attempt upon the life of a Sovereign, and that Sovereign a lovely, in. tellectual, virtuous, charitable young wife and mother, the idol of millions of a people equal to any upon the face of the earth, in terms less calculated to mislead the minds of a British Jury than those employed for the prosecution. This is exceedingly creditable to the AT TORNEY-GENERAL. The whole trial was conducted with e exists a per. a calm solemnity, and the verdict was so clearl y b ased by a host of ii h e e ve J t u b r e 3; n ey p e o - n w t i h tn e e e s y s i e ( s le , i t tr at su , b ve m son in the British enspire who could rationall y antici p ate d it o te i d lot t° be t any other result. But now comes the grave, the sol emn question, ought the awful sentence of death-'recorded upon FRANCIS to be _tarried into effect WO the execution of this wretched criminal, as a " false, ciOnvieted traitor," deter wicked, abandoned men from attempting a repetition of his treason ? We most firmly believe that it would I not . We care nothing about the prisober. What is now to be considered is how our beloved QUEEN may be preserved in future from similar attempts. This is not to be done by reviving the barbarous and revolting punishments of a barbarous age. In such sinks of cor ruption as are to be found in such an immense capital as London, there are many wretches whom the strong excitement of an atrocious punishment would stimulate to the commission of the most revolting crime. The strong tide of popular prejudice is, we well know, op posod to this doctrine, but it is nevertheless true. Re volting punishments, and especially capital ones, bru talise the mind instead of inspiring with any wholesome terror of the rope and the dissecting knife. We would punish all such wretches as FRANCIS by instimt condemnation to incarceration for life in lunatic asylums in a penal colony. We would have this done snddeuly, and as si:eutly as possible. We would put an end to the mock-sentimental system of parading atro cious criminals, as things to be stared at, and talked about. We would have no pious ladies, fond of strong excitement, to visit them in their cells—no Sheriffs and I risen governors to shake hands with them, order them wine, and lionize them to the edification of a gaping mob, astonished at the footing of equality with which fine ladies and gentlemen associate with the greatest ruf fians. The poor ignorant clod-hopper sees that no thing short of a murder or two can qualify him to shake hands, on affectionate terms, with a Sheriff or a Sheriff's lady, and of course his horror of the crime is wonderfully abated. Now we Would put a stop to all this. There should be no maudlin sympathy witl great criminals, nor would we, admit any intercourse with them after conviction. FRANCIS no doubt read in the papers that a number of fine ladies and gentlemen visited the ruffian Oxford—that he was comfortably lodged—enjoyed luxuries denied to honest, hard-working men—that he indulged tastes for drav:ing and music— ' and that, in short, it would be a very good thing to be' equally well provided fur at the public expense. That he seriously meditated the murder of the QUEEN we do not believe, although perfectly satisfied with the finding of the verdict. What FRANCIS sought •was notoriety, and a life of idleness, and that was to be obtained by frightening the QUEEN, not by destroying her. This was a very wanton and atrocious crime, and well sub jects FRANCIS to confinement for life in Norfolk Island. As the place of OXFORD'S confinement is at the dis posal of the Government, we would suggest, for the further safety of her MAJESTY'S person, that he be at once removed out of this country, and subjected to more rigorous treatment. All intercourse with him should be strictly prohibited, and, for the time to come, nothing more heard about him. This is the way to deal with such villains. Confine, unheard-of fur life, in lunatic asylums in penal settlements, and there will be no more attempts unpon the life of a Sovereign so universally and deservedly dear.to her people. There is no political news in the French Journals. Subjoined are some interesting miscellaneous extracts from them : _ _ ...,... A dreadful storm visited Marseilles on the 11th. The awful claps of thunder, which continued incessantly for above an hour ; the fury of the hurricane, the torrents of rain which innundated the city and country, gave reason to fear deplorable accidents; this fear has, unhappily, been realised. The house of Mr. V. was struck by the lightning, and ravaged as it were from one end to the other, the furniture being upset. the partitions thrown down, the floors torn up, and at last all the windows broken by a terrible explosion. The room in which Mr. V.'s family were assembled alone escaped these destructive effects of the electric fluid, though it penetrated into tho room. A crucifix in the servants' room was thrown into the middle of the garden. A Brazilian vessel in the port had its topmast broken. Several other houses were struck by the lightning. Mr. 8., residing at a country house near Mondredon, went out in a boat to fish, with nine other per sons ; when the storm arose, four of these persons went below to avoid being wet through by the rain, and Mr. B. got into a small boat and reached the shore, to which the large boat was proceeding, when the lightning struck the mast, tore the sail, and killed the four persons who had gone below. 'lhe steers man was struck, and remained in an alarming state till the evening. The other,four persons were merely stunned. Constitutionnel.

CONSTABULARY OF IRELAND.—A statement of the amount of constabulary force employed in each county, county of a city, and county of a town in Ireland, on the 15t of January, 1842, has been laid before Parliament. The total number of inspectors, sub-inspectors, and con stables, amounts to 8,931, and the cost to 424,0411., in cluding a reserve of 9,193/. The number of stipendiary - 1 Magistes is 65 (eight of whom were reduced on the 31st of March, 1842), with salaries varying from I,OOOL ' to 400/. each, amounting to about 27,6001. Of the total expenditure on this force 260,6231. is borne on the Con solidated Fund, and the rest by the counties, cities, and towns. The Inspector-General has an annual salary of 1,500/., First Deputy Inspector 1,200/., Second 800/., Receiver 6001., Provincial Inspector 500/., and so on down to the common constable, who has a salary of 32/. 7s. per annum. The number of horses employed in the force is 287. THE_ SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, el UNE 20, 1842. LIGHT GOLD. We are surprised to learn that a large quantity of light sovereigns were issued from the Pay-office in Portsmouth Dockyard (and we presume the same has , been done at other places) since the proclamation was published respecting this portion of our currency. As almost all, if not all, the payments made at this place are for wage:, we think that something should be done to prevent the further issue of any except such as are of the legal weight. We have heard of one tradesman in the neighbourhood of the Dockyard, who has been much in the habit of giving change, wbo will lose con siderably by the number now in his hands, nearly all of which were paid as wages from the Navy Pay-office. Surely this must be the result of oversight. The Go vernment are bound to prevent the issue of any money by their servants but such as is of full value. We hope this notice will have the effect of stopping the evil com • plained of. The parties receiving money at the Pay office have no means of proving its weight at the time of receiving it, neither can they change any part of it after having left the office.—llampshire Independent. Some tradesmen are still deducting 3d. for evey grain deficient. This is evidently unjust. There are 245 h-lf grains in a sovereign of the current weight, and as a so vereign is equal in va ue to 240 pence, the tradesmen who buys gold at a penny the half-grain must gain five pence if he can buy as many grains as amount in value to a sovereign.—Lanc.ister Guardian. The proclamation respecting 04 has, duvin3 the last week, preduced a most unsatisfactory relation between the payer and receiver The injustice of making the present holders of gold the losers of sixpence per pound, as the consequence of years of depreciation, is keenly felt, and prove .; great mismanagement at head-quarters. —KendciiMercurg, • • FRANCIS AFTER CONVICTIpN. Never has there appeared within the prison of Newgate a convict more corn pletely p rostrated by the circumstances and result of a trial for a capit al offence, than the wretched creature who was con victed of having attempted to assassinate the Queen. Upon being conducted, or rather carried, to the room in which he is .now confined, Francis sank down upon a seat, and moaned and wept bitterly. Mr. Carver, the Ordinary, who from the mo ment of the prisoner's committal to prison, earnestly requested him to expect the worst, and assured him that the whee of the public were exasperated against him, and that the press faith fully recorded the opinions of the people towards him, visited and endeavoured to raise hun from the stupor into which his fears seemed to be hurrying him ; and it was evident, from the manner in which he received the exhortations of the Reverend Gentleman, that he bad entertained sanguine hopes of being settled for life in Bedlam, or some other asylum, in which he might be main tained without any exertion of his own. He declared, amidst ti ars and sobs, that he never meant to kill or even injure her Majesty, and that all he sought by letting off the pistol was the notoriety to which other persons had attained by appearing to raise their hands against the life of the Sovereign. His father visited him on Saturday in the presence of the Sheriffs and the Ordinary, and a conversation of some length took place between them. The prisoner seemed to be for some time overwhelmed with grief and terror. lie covered his face with his bands when his father entered, and repeated most earnestly .and solemnly the assurances that he never contemplated any mischief towards her Majesty, and that he was perfectly aware there could be no pretence for ententaining a tingle thought to her prejudice or against her sacred person. His father and the Ordinary urged hun to communicate to them whether he had been conversing with anybody upon the subject of attacking her Majesty befote he made the diabolical attempt, to which he re , plied, in a manner calculated to impress those who heard him that he spoke the truth, that he never opened his lips to a human being upon the subject. It was quite manifest to those who have had opportunities of observing the conduct of the prisoner since he - has become an inmate of Newgate, that the noise which was made about Oxford's attempt to assasainati the Queen, and the reports in circulation relative to the corn., fortable quarters in which that individual was deposited imme ; diatelj , after trial, and the ridiculous sympathy excited in favour of the criminal, presented a combination which Francis's mind was not able to resist. Indeed, we are given to understand, ' that Oxford, upon bearing of the attempt made by Francis to assassinate her Majcs'y, made an observation which proved that insanity had as little to , do with the attempt made by the one, as •with. the attempt made by the other. ‘! If," Said Oxford'' - , " they had hanged me, there would have been nothing of the kind again."-- Sunday Times. S LIFII . !'ARY OF NEWS AND 04natOn. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. There is rioting worthy of remark in the Paris papers of Thursday ; they are filled with electoral intelligence, and lead ing articles, calculated to awaken the attention of the country to the forthcoming struggle. We are informed, by a letter from Tunis, June 1, that a few days previously M. de la Porte, a gentleman connected with the French Consulate at that place, was attacked whilst riding on horseback, by two fanatical Moors, who'seized his horse by the bridle, and had raised their swords to strike him, when the remainder of his party came up, on which the Moors fled and sought refuge in the Sidi-Monsour, the most sacred asylum of Tunis. A complaint of this outrage having been made to the Bey, he immediately had the offenders dragged from their place of refuge, and sentenced them to the galleys and basti nado ; but, upon the intercession of the insulted party, remitted a portion of the corporal punishment.

THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB. The first below bridge match of the season amongst the yachts belonging to members of this distinguished Club, which hoists the patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albert, was determined yesterday, It will be remembered that an effort was made to sail this match on Saturday week last, but in con sequence of the calm which prevailed, it was found impossible to get the boats lower than Erith, and in conformity with the Club laws, yesterday was appointed to bring the matter to issue. At ten the Royal Sovereign steamer proceeded with a highly respectable company to Greenwich, where the boats were found at their station . First Class—Phantom, 20 tons, J. F. Selby, Esq , white and blue ; Mystery, 25, Lord A. Paget, blue, white Maltese cress; Mary, 25, G. Keene, Esq., white, quartered red. Second Class—Lady Louisa, 13 tons, T. Smith, Esq., blue. Third Class—Brilliant, S tons, H. Fowler, Esq., blue, white stripes ; Sea Nymph, 10, C. Wheeler, Esq., white before blue ; Rival, 10, W. Lawyer, Esq , blue, white quartered. It will be seen by the above that there was but one yacht for the second class, and from that circumstance it might have been inferred that there was no necessity for her sailing at all. Such, however, was not the fact, the question being, whether the Lady was competent to a successful race with the third class yachts, .as in the event of either of them c o ming in next to the first class, and before the Lady, she would claim the se cond prize. The great favourite was the new iron-boat of Lord Alfred Paget, a very pretty specimen of craft of the full-match rate. She was backed at even against the field, and the Phantom next possessed the call. In the third class the Sea Nymph was the favourite, indeed, money was laid out at even that she would come in before the Lady, and claim, as we have stated, the secondprize. The Brilliant had her advocates, but her size prevented match speculation on her merits. The wind was E. S. E., a nice fresh breeze, and at half-past ten the boats canted round, and proceeded to beat down the River. The Brilliant was first., the Rival second, the Sea Nymph third, the Lady fourth, the Mary fifth, and the Mys tery last. We have not room to describe the race, but the result was as follows ; The Mystery arriv e d fi r st at Greenwich , at 55 minutes past 4; the Phantom at 9 m i n utes past 5 ; the Mary, which we understand had carried away her topmast, at 21 minutes past 5 ; the Sea Nymph at 27 minutes 30 seconds past 5; and the Rival at 4 minutes past 6. W. Harrison, Esq., the Cornincdore, then presented to Lord A. Paget the award of victory, a very superb silver breakfast service, and the latter acknowledged the receipt in a very ap spropriate and neat speech. Mr. C. Wheeler then received at the hands of the Commodore a silver salver ; and the prize left for the Lady was a claret-jug, the workmanship of which was much admired. The healths of her Majesty and her Royal Consort were drunk with much enthusiasm. The company landed early, much entertained with the ex cursion and the sport. The Lady came in at seven o'clock. lc end' The deaths in the metropolis for the wee. Ling June 11, vere'B47, exceeding those of the previous week by 87.

This day is well known in every part of England, and it will be gratifying to our readers to learn that it was celebrated at Apsley House' on Saturday by a great number of the brave men who fought in the Peninsula, and who finished their glorious career at Waterloo. The Duke, of course, presided, and was honoured by the'presence of Prince Albert, who sat on his right hand. Lord Hill was on the left, and nearly all the sur vivors of the leading. Generals on that great day were present; The room Was _ornamented with the presents which the Duke hadreceived from the different Sove reigns of Europe- , -with perhaps the finest display of plate and marks of honour in Europe ; and the enter tainment altogether was given in the most superb style. The first toast, of course, was " the Queen," which was drank with great enthusiasm, all the company standing. Prince ALBERT then proposed the health of the Duke of Wellington, and briefly alluded to the day which had produced such a change in the whole of the continent of Europe. Tee Duke of WELLINGTON returned thanks. The next toast was " Lord Hill and the British Army," for which the Commander of the Forces returned thanks.

Among other toasts were Sir Henry Hardinge, Lord Seaton, Sir Brook Pearce, Lord Maitland, and some of the other officers who commanded on that event ful day. • The band of the Grenadier Guards attended on the occasion, and played a number .of favourite airs, by Donizetti, Strauss, Musard, and'.

Mr. James Phillips, sur geon of the asylum, said that the deceased was admitted as a private patient on Monday week last. Her insanity arose from the great excitement she experienced a few weeks age, whilst engaged in the capacity of visitor in distributing relief to the poor in the neighbourhood of Horne,rton. The day after her admission she was so violent as to require a strait waistcoat, and since then she had frequently destroyed her clothes. The waistcoat was not in use for more than three hours. At eight o'clock on 'I hursday rnort.int- last witness was called to the de ceased, and he found her in bed in a very weak state. she died at two o'clock the same day. Witness attributed death to an effusion of blood on the brain, Verdict, " Natural death." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, SATURDAY EVENING. This week, as far as business in the Funds-maybe concerned, has been one of complete stagnation. If the whole amount of bargains were added together, the total would not show as much as was done in one day a few months since. It is diffi cult to account for this apathy, but the most ready solution is, it is generally admitted, to be found in the great depression which now universally exists in trade, and which has now ex tended itself here. The sale by the Bank broker, mentioned this morning, has not been followed up by sub Sequent o7erations ; nevertheless, Consols left off at 911 sellers, for the opening, •ex-dividend ; Reduced, 91% 91 / ; Bank Stock 167 168 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 45 47 ; New, 40 42 premium. Forei g n Securities were fiat, though prices were unaltered. Belgian Bonds, 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52% 52* ; the Five per Cents , 101 101* ; Danish, 80i 81%; Brazilian, 66 67. The quotation of Mexican remained the same, 36 36*. Railroad Shares were generally lower. London and Bir mingham, 174 176; Birmingham and Gloucester, 49 51 ; Great Western, 87 88; the Half Shares, 61 61%; South Western, 61 62 ; North Midland, 63 65; the New shares, 31 32; South Eastern and Dover, '25 ; the Scrip, 51 5/; Eastern Counties, 9 9* ' • Northern and Eastern, 40 41 ; Black wall, 9% 10*; and Brighton, 35* 35% per share. '1 he quotations of the Bonds were, Celornbian, 25% 26*; Peruvian, 17 18 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 37* ; the Three per Cents., 21;4 22*; Spanish Five per Cents., 2222* ; the Three per Cents, 23* 23i. The evil which was pointed out last week as having affected the poorer classes, in exchanging such part of their wages as might have been received in gold, has rather increased than diminished. A complete profit is now made out of every labouring man who may present a sovert ign at half sovereign for change by the shopkeeper, be it light or not, and in nume rous instances so groat has been the deduction as materially to interfere with the comforts of the family. It cannot be expected that the employer who has a large sum to pay will provide himself with silver, and be at the loss of time necessary to count it, or that file recipient can afford to risk offence by refusing what is tendered, and which the master is doubtless convinced is full weight; hence the necessity of some measure to protect the artisan from the imposition which is daily practised upon him, and which, from circumstances, he is obliged to submit to, though ill able to afford it. (From The Sun of Saturday.) The Bank brsiker having effected a sale of about 1,5001.

Mexican has no quotation to-day. beyond a purchase in Edinbtrgh and Glasgow at 454, and South Western at 61*, nothing has been done in shares. The Three per Cent. Spanish Bonds are the only documents of this kind mentioned to-day. The quotation is rather lower, being 23/, although some reliance appears to be placed on the report that the money for the dividend has been procured. Money is easy at four per cent. for commercial purposes, with but little demand. - _ . The Bank of England are about to afford every facility to the public in disposing of their light gold. A notice has been I issued, stating that they will now take sums as low as 20/. in stead of 50:., as heretofore, which will prove of benefit, mueli inconvenience having arisen from the difficulty of converting small amounts, except through bulion brokers, who have not given as high a rate as the Bank. Another alteration must be made, which is now more impera tively called for on account of the number of persons who will probably for the future avail themselves of changing money ; and it is that of providing increased accommodation to the public. The scenes of confusion which have been dis. played must have been witnessed to be credited. About one fifth of the counter has been appropriated for the purpose, at which numbers of persons arc congregated, many of whom have to v ait an hour to an hour and a half for their turn, while the remaining four-fifths are quite empty. If the applicants for the future are to be crowded into some small room, the harvest to be gathered by pickpockets must necessarily be considerable, PRICES OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, JUNE 16. 3 per Cent.

( 5 paid) DEATH OF COUNT MATUS CHEWiTZ. One of the noblest ornaments of the diplomacy is now no more. Count Alatuschewitz expired, at. St. Petersburgh, on the 2d instant, of drowsy of the heart. This news will impart so much the more sorrow to his numerous friends hi England from its sudden and unexpected nature. It was but yesterday that he was with us in health and buoyant spirits, trying his energies, as he was wont to do, by those active sports of the field in which he so much delighted. Any t mpty idler may, if he possiss sufficient influence, become a diplomatist, copy a despatch, and wear an em broidered coat at Court galas and fetes, and even run out a full -career, dealing in the mere grimace and nonentities of their profession. But to represent a great nation, above all Russia, with which diplomacy is the chief arm of conquest, requires exalted talents, and these Count Ma tuachewitz eminently possessed. He was one of the young Poles Napoleon had placed in that unrivalled olytecknic school which has produced so many students of surpassing merit. At this scho,l, in which it was a triumph even to enter, to severe were the examinations, Count Matusehewitz carried away the chief pi izes. Napoleon, in his temporary amity wi.h the great and good Alexander of Russia, having been asked fur some distinguished eleves, as models for the new institutions constantly rising in Russia, sent Matuschewitz, amongst other eleves, to the Imperial Autocrat. In the di plomatic service of this amiable s!overeign, young Matuschei wi!z ultimately entered, and not many years elapsed before we saw him in England, on a special mission, seconding the efforts of Prince Lieven, and counterbalancing the diplomatic reveries of the Asmodeus of diplomacy. The lamented Count played a principal part in the great conferences regarding the settlement of Greece, of the Belgian and other questions, whilst the revo. lotion of his own country passed over his head, trying deeply his equanimity of mind. Endowed with great buoyancy of temper, with an esprit rtaturel, showing itself through the me. dium of the most amiable manners, his 'ove of British sports en deared him to our countrymen, and extended the circle of his friends far beyond the number which generally falls to the share aa foreign visitor in the land. Count Matutchewitz's devotion to hunting was a real passion, requiring great physical energy to endure the feats he undertook. Vie have seen Count Mains chewitz when obliged to attend a meeting of the great Belgian Conference, start on horsebaek horn Newmarket, and with relays on the road, reach London at the appointed hour, con • stantly riding on as if he were following the hounds over the dlelton sward. Arrived at the meeting of the greatest diplo matists of the age, the lamewed Count was as cool, collected, and as full of a propos as if he had fresh risen from his bed. When he definitively left London, and filled missions at Naples and in Sweden, on his return to St. Petersburgh he alway Lund means to take England and its sports in his way back, and at 'the other Courts of Europe where he latterly resided, particularly at Stockholm, he consoled himself for his eloigne inent from England by living with those who were or who could speak English, and had some portion of the Anploniania, his ruling passion. On the spur of the moment we regret we can not do full justice to the memory of this distinguished man, but the deep regret the news of his decease will create amongst his numerous friends in England w ill form the best of all epitaphs. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. We regret to announce the death of Count Matnschewite, which took place at St. Petersburgh only a few days since. Count llatuschewitz was a twice) sal favourite where his brilliant secial qualities and amiability selitired him many friends, who deeply deplore his premature death: Russia has sustained a great loss by this event, for the rare diplomatic talents, general information, incomparable power of reduction, and profound knowledge of European policy, ren dered him the most useful servant to the Emperor, while they excited the envy and jealousy of all competitors. Count Matuschewitz was a Pole by birth ; educated in Paris at the Trytanee during the Empire, he was crowned by Napoleon wit the laurel accorded to the grand Prize of Honour. To Count Nesselrode is due the merit of having applied those transcei,daut talents to the service of Russia. It has been more than surmised that the diminution of Imperial favour at St. Petersburgh experienced by Count Matuschewitz owed its origin to the jealousy and intrigues occasioned by his well known partiality to England. When sent to Sweden as Minis ter, a position which to a man so high in his profession could only be looked on as an honourable exile, he turned this in tended slight to an occasion for fresh triumph, by writing one of the most tittle reports on the actual state of Sweden that ever was penned. Count Matuschewitz visited this country last winter, where he was welcomed and feted by his friends, and when recalled to Russia two months ago, though in delicate health, they little anticipated that they should see him no more. An accident from phosphoric • matches occurred a w days since near Versailles. Two persons were travelling in an open cart, when they suddenly were alarmed by furious flames bursting through the bottom, and communicating to their pantalouns. They instantly sprung in haste to the ground, and had scarcely time to get the horSe out of the shafts before the vehicle, even to the wheels, was involved in the fire, and the whole were consumed before any endeavours could be made to stop it. The matches, the ignition cl which had caused the accident, were in a basket, with other things, at the bottom of the cart. The Journal du Haure states that a diligence be longing to the Messageries Royales, which runs between Havre and Dieepe, lately made the j. urney, a distance of WO l i o stoppage for breakfast. The road from Havre to Dieppe, al though otherwise moelltnt, ha. a great number of very heavy hills. _ LITERATURE. THE POPLAR MAGAZINE. Britain, London,. 1842. • This is a first number, and, like most first numbers, - is got up with great care and attention to effect.. Should the future ones be edited with equal tact, we L think we may venture to predict that the magazine will be a successful one, especially as it is of a light, cheerful character, and is reasonably moderate in point of price. The first article in the present num ber is from the pen of the editor ; it is entitled " The Alchemist," and is, we perceive, to be continued. The" scene, as far as the two ,first chapters ar e* ,”;! concerned, is laid in Dresden, towards the close the year 1705, and the narrative opens in 3 very natural and spirited manner. "On Great Men" is a lively, whimsical essay, jesting with good - humoured archness on the vanity of those individuals, who, because they are regarded as. oracles in their own small circles, imagine, as a necessary consequence , that they possess all the inherent elements of great- DCSS. " Stanzas written after a Pilgrimage to IVal tham Cross" evince a ready power of versification , and no slight poetical feeling. Of the re maining:;ot articles the most interesting is " Glances at Ok i , 00 . Books,". which is a gossipping notice of Howers:,iiioiti! Familiar Epistles, a work first published in the -6004 year 1615. ° FINE ARTS. rill. - A , PORTRAIT . OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS rip e ' PRINCE ALBERT. ' 4 The private view of this specimen of art was on Saturday at Mr. Moon's, Threadneedle-street. a? The portrait of his Royal highness is a whole-lengtit t. the size of life, painted by John Lucas, Esq., from which it is intended to produce an engravinfr o or equal in size, and to suit as a companion, to Chalo n s' ll o ioci• State portrait of the Queen. It represents his Hig h , ness, attired in a Field Marshal's uniform, standing 0 0 ,.bift the entrance-steps of 'Windsor Castle, the round tower;',i3oo of which, together with another portion of the s anle b „A edifice, forms the back-grounsi. To the right of thf,,,i, Prince is a spirited portrait of the horse presented 'll him by the King of Prussia, with his attendant of th (3 .; .6 , 11th Hussars. The attitude of the Prince is erect,s6/ and the rich military suit in which he is a ttired is, enhanced by the brilliant tone of the colouring, whichcfr's is throughout in good taste and keeping. The expres-°„,,J sion of the eyes and countenance is as fully faithful il - . ° 0 ,30 of any likeness that has been produced, and the veri i et r similitude of the whole excellent. Mr. Moon we bt - olia lieve is to have the sole privilege of exhibiting it, pre, vious to its being remitted to the Palace of VersaillPsfoll TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF SIB CHRISTOPHER WREN. The original plan of this " Tribute," now on vie w at Mr. Moon's, designed by Mr. Cockerell, the sr' chitect, and the engraving reduced from it, consis ts of a plate, in which are grouped together, in on e view, all the architectural works of that great builder, wherever distributed over the metropolis. Th e Cathedral of St. Paul's occupies the centre of the background, and the dimness of outline in which it is ; intentionally drawn, aids its magnificence, as put in f i comparison with the lower range of no less th in sixty other public churches and structures, all the handywork of this inimitable architect. The specta tor . who beholds so many fabrics compressed into a plate of only 224 by 16 inches high, and observing the total dissimilarity of construction which characterizes th e whole—yet that whole composed of so many variou s , 1 " parts and designs—is struck with a sense of the mense versatility of the architect's powers, who coul d originate and give definite form to so many strue' tures of symmetry, massiness, and beauty. St. Flair!' 7 which according to the well-known inscription that cathedral, has stood as the one tnagnificent nument to the memory of Sir Christopher, appea r ; by this plate to form but one out of many. An al)! e r or more noble tribute could not have been designed' LONDON AS IT IS. Boys, London, 184 2 .
