(From the London New Price Current, May 29.) .SUGAR.—To-ddy the Colonial Sugar market was closed on account of the holidays, but business will be resumed to-morrow with large public sales. REFINED.—To-day there was much firmness in the Refined Sugar market, and some difficulty was experi enced in obtaining brown grocery Lumps under 52s 6d per cwt. The demand for Bonded Crushed Sugar is still dull. ' Mauarrius.—By private treaty large parcels have been sold, and in some cases the rates paid exhibit an advance on those current on this day week of 63 per cwt. There is also a less amount on offer, and on the part of holders there is much firmness. The supply is still scanty of raw Sugar, especially of low sorts. At public sate 3,890 bags sold with readiness—good to fine yellow, 39s 6d to 41s 6d; low to mid, 38s tuns; fine brown, 37s to 383; mid to good, 35s to 365; low to fine grey, 37s to 40s; and grainy, 40s 6d to 41s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—On the part of holders of Bengal there is still much firmness, and none has again been offered at auction. A good business has been transacted by pri vate treaty at prices showing an advance on previous quotations. Benares, low to middling white has changed hands at 39s 6d to 41s, goed to fine 41s 6d to 433, strong 433 to 495, yellow 396 to 445, brown 33s to 38s, soft yellow 36s to 38s, and lihaur 32s to 34s for low to fine. There has been no public sale of Madras; but privately several parcels have been sold at stiffer rates. Low soft brown cannot be procured under 32s per cwt, and even higher- rates are anticipated to be asked. Penang from 3 Li to 37s per cwt, according to quality. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, and on the part of holders there is firmness: for mer rate& are well kept up, and a fair business was con cluded by private treaty. Since Friday last we observe there have been live cargoes of Foreign Sugar disposed of- at, previous rates. !MOLASSES.—A greater desire has been evinced to operate in West India, and the rates paid are rather above those previously. Fine Antigua has been sold at 22s to 223 6d, and other sorts 18s to 21s per cwt. On the part of holders there is much firmness, and de liveries are still exceeding arrivals. Bengal Treacle is in greater demand, and there are few sellers under 16; per cwt. Fur Honey prices continue on the advance. COFFEE.—To day the business concluded by private treaty in Coffee by shippers and home dealers was of little moment, and prices have a downward tendency. The value of good ord Native Ceylon is 32s to 32s 6J. Cocoa.—Former rates are well supported, and the house demand has been good; fur low to fine red Trini dad the rates paid have been from 40s to 423. Full rates are insisted upon for foreign, and the supply is small, whilst the rates paid rule from 27s to 295, but there are few buyers. TEA.—There is no disposition evinced to accept lo . wer rates for black, still the town and country demand has been limited, especially for the better sorts, and there is a large quantity on offer. The value of common and good ord Cougou is 7id to Bid, better sort 9d to is 3d, strong and Pekoe flavour is 3d to is 9d. For Green the market has a dull aspect, and as the supply is large there are sellers upon rather lower terna,: Hyson, ord and good ord can be purchased at 10d to is Id, but mid and mid is 2d to Is 6J, good to fine is Si to 2s 83, and choicy 2s 8d to 3s; Imperial Canton ltd to is 3d, Hyson sort la 4,1 to 34, Gunpowder Canton ls 3d to 1,7 d, Il es , n suit I s 8d to 3 s 6, 1, enoice 3s 8 I to 43, 'iwaukay ord sil to Gd, and better kind 7s 7d to 13 per lb.

There is more demand for other sorts. East India shipping sort 23s to 265, home trade sort 40s to 80s, and African 29s to 32s per cWt. Holders of Cloves are firm, and sales to a fair extent have been made—Bencoleu at is 4d to is 9d, Amboyna lld to is 2d, Bourbon and African 74d to Bd. Mace met with a brisker sale at 2s to 2s 6d, and first sort 2s 8d to 2s 10d. - There is more busines doing in Nutmegs; low and mid brown are 2s 4d to 2s 9d, and better sort 2s 10d to 3s 9d, but the demand is still dull for limed at Is 6d to 2s 6d. Cinnamon met with little attention, and a desire is shown to sell, first sort of Ceylon at 3s 8,1 to 4s 4d, second ditto 33 to 3s Bd, and.third 2s to 2s 10d. There is not much demand for Cassia Lignea, owing to the scanty supply holders are asking the high rates of 903 to 100 s per cwt. SPIRITS. —There is more firmness in the market for Leeward Island Rum, and the demand is brisker, whilst the rates paid are from is 4d to is 4iel proof, and a less amount is on offer. East India is held with firmness, and there is more demand, it is difficult to make purchases under is 3d proof. Demerara has not improved in value, but the demand is better at 23 to 2s 2d for 30 to 33 per cent. over proof, and• stronger at 2s 3d to 2s sd, indeed some parties will not accept these rates. For Jamaica the market is better, and sales to a fair extent have bet u made at full rates ; the better sorts have been the most in demand. We quote 19 to 22 Fercent. over proof at from 2s 2d to 23 4d, 30 to 36 over 2s 6d to 3s 6d, and choice marks 33 8d to 4s 2d per gallon. The value of Havannah is from is 2d to is 2d, and still few buyers are to be met with. The market for Brandy has still a firm aspect, and a large business has been concluded at tulle former rates. Home dealers are still the chief operators. We quote Cognac, best brands of the vintage of 1845 at 53 8d to 5s 10d, 1845 ditto Ss 4d to 5s 6J, 1847 ditto 4s 3d to 4s sd, 1848 ditto at 3s 7d to 3s 9d, inferior 2s to 3s 6d, and Bordeaux 2s to 2s 3d per gallon. The home trade deliveries are still far greater than in the former pear. Geneva is not much wanted, shipping sort is offered at is 9d, and fine for duty at 2s 3d to 3s 3d. There is no variation in the value of British made Spirit. RlCE.—Opinion is yet unfavourable towards East India, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms, still on the part of exporters or home dealers little desire has been evinced to operate, and the market is well sup plied. The better aorta are the most difficult of sale. At auction 3,364 bags of Penang were taken in at 8s for barley grain, and of 1,686 bags Bengal a part only sold at 10s to lls for good to fine white. The value of pinky white white Madras is 7s 6d to Bs, and of cargo 7s to 7s 6d per cwt. Cleaned Rice is still held with firmness, and finds a free sale; town dressed Caro lina at 20s to 25s ; Patna, low to fine 13s to 19s. and American cleaned His to 204 per cwt. There is also not a more pletiful supply. Figura—For fine Currants there is much demand, and former cases are readily paid, as the supply is small. For the lower aorta the market has a quiet aspect, still lower rates are not acceded to. For New the value is from 36s to 40s, and old 355. Raisins have been dealt in with caution, and there ap pears to be more desire to sell; Denia at 31s to 325, Valencia 425, Eleme 46s to 48a, Sultana 60s to 655, Mus catels 443 to 60s, French Plums 70s to 80s, and Imperial 80s to I 30s. Almonds are not much wanted; the value of Jordan is from 71 to 101, Valencia 75s to 80s, Bar bary sweet 445, and bitter 355. There has been little demand for Figs, and Greek can be obtained at 36a to 38s. SALTPETRE.—There is more firmness on the part of importers of Rough, and none has been submitted to public sale. Former rates are well supported, and by private treaty operations are upon a more extended scale. The value of low to fine is from 27s to 29e per cwt. British refined is 31s to 31s 63 per cwt. Nitrate of Soda, lls 6d to 12s per cwt. COCHINEAL.—HoIdera have more firmness, and more has again been submitted to auction; the demand has been better by private treaty for all purposes, and former rates are well kept up. Isinpao.—The market for East India has assumed a quiet aspect, still no disposition is shown to accept lower rates. The quarterly sale is fixed for the 10th of July, and already 5,436 chests are declared, it is expected that about 15,000 chests will be offered, about 9,000 chests will consist of new goods. Spanish is not - cheaper, but there has been only a limited demand. TALeow.—The market for Russian has a firm appear ance, still there is little desire evinced by soapmakers or chandlers to make sales in Russian on the spot, and the stock is yet extensive. The rates obtained for fine P. Y. C. are 38s 61 to 39e per cwt fa- fine quality, but large parcels can be obtained rather coder these rates. There has been a good business concluded for the last three months of the year at 39s 3d to 385 . 6 d, and some parties will not sell at these rates. Home melted has been in excellent demand, but as the supply is plentiful there are sellers at the moderate rates of 37s to 38s per cwt for nett cash. In the value of other sorts of Tallow little variation has taken plane, although large parcels bad been pressed upon the market. At auction 630 cks of Sydney were nearly all sold at from 33s 9d to 37s 6d for low to fine, and 754 pkgs of South American at 334 6d to 334 6d per cwt. Fur public competition 1,700 pkgs of Tallow are declared. Prices still rule much under the past year, and there i. not a larger comp tition. Rough Fat is quoted at 2s Id per stone, and is in plentiful supply. OlLS.—Southern is in larger supply, and prices have suffered a further depression, but at public sale 129 tuns were nearly all sold; fine quality at 281, and low to good 241 to 87/ 103. Cod met with little attention and obtained at 251 104 to 261; there is also a fair Supply. ..Seal has been dealt in with caution; there is also a desire to sell pale at 291 to 301, straw and tieged 381 to 281101, yellow and brown 25/ to 271 10s. None has been offered at auction. For Sperm the market has a dull aspect, and prices keep on the decline, as the supply exceeds the wants of the trade. At auction twelve tuns of Colonial went at • 71 10s, and Headmatter at 72/. The finest Oil is not worth more than 741, but prices are not expected to rule much lower. Linseed Oil met with little attention for home trade purposes, and-few export orders have been completed; the market is well -supplied, and the rates accepted are 25s Gd to 2ss 9d.per cwt., but there is no falling off in the consump tion. There are sellers for delivery at 26s to 26s 6d, still little business has been done. - Rape oil has been ; dealt in with caution, and lower rates are taken; sales of pale have. been made at 37s 6d, and brown 36s 6d to 37, whilst the supply is extending. Palm is not much in demand, and a desire is shown to sell fine quality at 31s 6d to 323 per cwt. There is no decrease in the con , sumption and the sUpply is notupon a large scale. There is much dullness in the market for Cocoa Nut Oil and it is difficult to quote prices on the decline; the supply is also upon a larger scale, and lower rates are expected to prevail. Olive met with a little attention from home dealers or shippers- ' Gallipoli is o ff ered at 411 to 421 and other sorts at from 381 los to 40/103 per tan, still there is a fair consumption ' and a further increase is expected to take place. Lard Oil met with little attention, and is offered at 38A to 41s, whilst Ground Nut is dull of sale at 27s to 28s.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, May 28. (Sittings in Banco.) BAILEY • V. WIL/UNS. In this case (which had not concluded when our re port left), Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL, in support of the rule, con tended that the authority of the broker was terminated at the date of the tranwer, and his subsequent payment of the call could not bind the defendant. His tender of the transfer of the shares to the defendant presumed that the plaintiff was able to transfer the shares legally, ac cording to the statute of Victoria, with all the calls paid up on them, and was conclusive against him. The COURT, in delivering judgment, said that a person who goes to the Stock-Exchange to purchase stock must be taken to know that, according to the law, and to the rules of the Stock-Exchange, he cannot have shares transferred to him without all the calls due upon them having been paid. When the defendant contracted to purchase these 20 shares at a discount of 303. per share, what did that wean but that he contracted to pay all that had been paid upon the shares, subject' only to a deduction of 30s. per share from the amount which had ben paid? The payment was one which it was com pulsory on the broker's principal to pay. By the rules tit the Stock-Exchange: the buying broker dealt with the selling broker as a principal, and the selling broker was compelled to pay up all calls due on the shares before the transfer, which the buying broker, under his con tract of purchase, was obliged to repay; an action by the plaintiff, therefore, as such buying broker, for money paid to the use of the defendant, would well lie. The rule must therefore be discharged.—Rule dis charged. WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP. DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE. The heartrending tidings of the total wreck of the Hannah, freighted with nearly two hundred emigrants, bound to Quebec from Newry, was reported yesterday afternoon at Lloyd's, the particulars having been re ceived by the American mail steamer America, at Liverpool. The unfortunate vessel (the Hannah) was a brig be tween 150 and 200 tons burthen, belonging to Maryport, and manned by a crew, it is said, of twelve seamen, under the command of Mr. Shaw, the master. On the 3d of April last she sailed from Newry, with the above number of emigrants on board, having previously been examined by her Majesty's emigration agent at that port. The emigrants chiefly consisted of agricultural labourers and their wives and children. The passage up to the 27th, considering the season of the year, was as favour able as could be expected. The vessel then encoun tered heavy winds and a quantity of floating ice. The master, as well as possible, bore off in order to clear it, but it floated round in huge masses, and on the morning of the 29th the unfortunate ship struck on a reef of ice of such magnitude as to carry away part of her bottom. It was about four o'clock when she took the ice. The sounding of the pumps at once convinced the crew that the vessel was foundering, as there were several feet of water in her hold, and it was rapidly increasing. As the only chance of keeping the ship afloat, a cry was raised to keep to the pumps, until assistance could be obtained from some passing vessel, as also, it is presumed, to allow the boats being prepared for the rescue of the emigrants. What steps were taken to secure their preservation, no mention is made in the report received; a charge, however, is laid against the master, and the first and second officers, of their having been guilty of one of the most revolting acts of inhumanity that can be conceived. They had got the life-boat out, and the moment they found the vessel would inevitably go down, they jumped into it, and aban doned the wreck with the living mass on board. Screams for help now rent the air, and it was with difficulty that the remainder of the crew could induce the frantic creatures to comprehend the only chance left of saving their lives. Fortunately the ice was firm under the ship's bows, and the seamen, con vincing them as to its security, many got on it. Its solidity being then apparent, a desperate struggle took place amongst the emigrants to leave the wreck. Men, women, and children, with nothing on but their night attire, were to be Seen scrambling over the mass of ice. Many of the poor creatures slipped between the huge masses, and were either crus'aed to death or met with a watery grave. The last to leave the wreck were some of the crew, who contrived to save a small portion of spirits and a few blankets. Soon after they had got clear, the ship's stern rose as it were above water, and she went down headforemost, just forty minutes after the collision with the ice. The sufferings of the wretched creatures, exposed as they were amid towering masses of ice, with a raging freezing gale of wind from the S.S.E., were most harrowing. The seamen who were amongst them humanely gave up what covering they had to the females, who had been shockingly wounded and bruised in their course over the ice. Thus were they exposed the whole of that day , till five the afternoon, when a vessel hove in sight and bore down to the edge of the field of ice. It p roved to be the o'clock in barque Nicarque (also bound for Quebec), Captain Marshal. The statement made by that gentleman relative to the steps taken by him and his crew fur the recovery of the survivors, is to theTollowing effect:—On the 29th, about half-past six, the wind blowing a strong gale from S S.E., and a thick fall of sleet, the ship laying to tie i windward of a large field of ice, Cape Ray being S.E. by E. about twenty-seven miles distant, discovered something on the ice, which subsequently turned out to be a flag of distress. Made all sail, and gaining the edge of the ice, found, to his astonishment, a mass of living people upon it. He got the ship's ice fenders down, and prepared to take to the ice. By seven o'clock got so close in, that in the course of two hours he and his crew succeeded in getting bold of about fifty of the poor creatures and placing them on board his vessel. The remainder stood crouched together in another part of the ice some distance off, inaccessible from the posi tion of the ship. Captain Marshal had all sails cleared up, and got a rope fastened to a piece of ice, and with the long boat pushed off with his men to the ' spot. After considerable difficulty, he succeeded in getting to the edge, where they remained huddled to gether. The whole of them were saved. No pen, Captain Marshal observes, can describe the pitiable situation of the poor creatures. They were all but naked, cut and bruised, and frostbitten. There were parents who lad lost their children, children withah y the Nicarque was 129, perfectly insensible. that gut beard rh passengers and se „ men . The g reater part o f t h ese were f ros tbitten. As far as Captain M ars h a l cou ld ascer t a i n The nu l m os b s er of th from the survivors, those who perished by being crushed between the ice and frozen to death were from fifty to F sixty. As soon as he had succeeded in getting all on hoard, the ship was got under weigh, and proceeded in lee- the direction of Cape Ray. Every comfort that his - means and the ship's capacity afforded were placed at the sufferers' disposal. The next day, meeting with the 3 % barque Broom, of Glasgow, twenty-seven of the poor 18 creatu res were transferred on b oard o f t h at vesse l ; an d 1% in the course of the following day, forty- nine of the sur -2% vivors, for the sake of comfort, were p l ace d on b oar d 5 )(, three other vessels. The Nicarque reached Quebec on V , the 10th of last month, where the rema i n d er o f th e o sufferers were landed. Their names were Alexander - 4 Thompson, his wife and four children; William Tedford, wife and one child; William Andersonwife an d four 17 a% children; John Murphy, wife and four children; David o Gurwin and wire; Patrick M'Gill, James Murphy and ' l % wife; Dr. William Graham, Peter M`Fearli n (his father mother, and rest of the family drowned); a g nd al so the - following seamen of the Hannah:—John Offin, John 6d Smith, John Packer, Richard Harwin, Alexander Harris, and David Jordan. The names of the emigrants 7s shipped ou board the vessel from the Nicarque are not 834 mentioned. .od. The fate of the master and the others who took to - the life-boat, and abandoned the emigrants, is not known, THE SINDE HORSE AT GOOJERAT.—In all the published accounts of the battle o f G oo jer a t there ap. pears a systematic attempt to keep Bombay merit in the background. One sign.l instance of this is the treat ment which the detachment of the Sinde Irregular Horse (the only Bombay cavalry present in the battle) has met with. In the battle of the 21st of February all accounts mention that the 9th Lancers and the Siude Irregular y n , o w p i a l t r i t n g o ,f and t h e 9 a t b h l e L a t n h c e y e rs m c ,,y h a r h g a e v d e a b t e e a n ll ), ( h a o n w d e t v h e z , Horse made a splendid charge, &c.; yet the truth is, that rea d Sinde Irregular Horse was the only regiment which made a regular charge that day. And never was attack more gallantly made, or more completely successful. I'he facts w e re a s f e ll ows: —Th e detachment of the Sinde Irregul ar H orse , a b out 250 s trong (one squadron being away), led by Lieutenants Malcolm, Merewether, and Green, was on the extreme left of the British line, her Majesty's Lancers being the next regiment to its right. A l arge b u d y "( a b out 4,000) of the enemy's cavalry. about half of whom were Affghans, splendid men, and superbly mounted, led by a son or nephew of the Ameer Dost Mohamed, attempted to turn the British left. This was seen by General Thackwell, who personally ordered Lieutenant Malcolm to charge the advancing enemy. The attack w as ma d e w ith such good will and vigour that the enemy's horsemen were completely overthrown, and driven f rom the fi e ld w ith great loss, their leader killed, with many of his followers, w ho foug ht des p eratel y round him, and t h e r i g ht of the enemy's army was com pletely exp ose d an d turne d. The Afghans stood their ground, and fi re d a tremen dous volley at about 50 yar. e distance. Th ey and t h e i r a llies outnumbered the Sinde Irregular Hor se 1 6 to 1 ; but nothing could shake the discipline of th e l atter; n o doubt or hesitationwas there, and no sudd en " i rregu l ar bursts of undisciplined valour shook their f ormat i on; " the horseman came on at fiery speed, indeed, and with an individu al ener gy w hich no thing could d aunt; yet they moved like a living wall, and wer e as much under command a s on an ordinary field day which s e ld om has been equalled in modern war. day.

NOVEL AVIARY.--On the site of the western tower Of our venerable church may be seen the nest of a jack alaw, containing three young ones, which are carefully tended by the " old birds."—Poole iferald.; • SPIItIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, TIMES.—It was but the other day that the British public were startled with the news that a senEeless mob, excit,d and led by a bankrupt faction, had burnt the Parliament House of our principal colony, with . ita archives and invaluable lib;aries; and had grossly in sulted her Majesty's representative, on about as empty and beggarly a pretext as ever inflated the lungs of an agitator, or filled the hands of a ruffian. It cer tainly did not occur to us that so extraordinary an incident was likely soon to be followed by a more marvellous and more painful affair. Such, however, is the unhappy purport of the intelligence brought over with unexampled rapidity by the last ocean mail. To our English readers wa shall seem to speak fables when we relate that on the pretence of an utterly groundless quarrel got up at New York be tween the respective admirers of Messrs. Macready and Forrest, the theatre in which the English tra gedian was performing has been besieged, stormed, and all bat destroyed, audience and all, by an infuriated mob, which did not desist till after a collision with an over- powering military force, in which more than► twenty lives were lost, and many were seriously wounded. Certain it is that the most populous city of the New World has for a day or two exhibited the aspect of those European capitals which were last year successively the scenes of revolution and civil war. Cprdons of troops, • - skilful operations, guns loaded with grape, deadly d s charges of mudtetry, barricades carried, are results that we associate with ancient grievances, and new Constitu tions. In the city of New York they confer au adventi tious importance on the wounded vanity of an American actor, who, having tried to do what no living being can do to the perfect satisfaction of an English audience, and what it only tolerates in two or three men of an age, did not do what nobody else could do, and did not attain to the rank of the two or three tolerated per- formers of Shakspeare's principal characters. To the English reader it is perfectly unnecessary to defend Mr. Macready from the guilt of Mr. Forrest's comparative want of success. on the boards of this metropolis. On this side the Atlantic it will hardly be credited that the proprietors and editors of London journals have been required to send over their solemn affidavies " that they did not conspire against Mr. Forrest, did not take bribes against him, or admit inte rested critiques, or bow to Mr. Macready's dictation. It will hardly be credited that whole columns of the American papers are full of letters pro and con. on the question, whether Mr. Macready's malignity did not pursue Mr. Forrest from the principal to the minor theatres, from the metropolis to the provinces, from Great Britain to France, and from Europe to America. We will not attempt to repeat ever so briefly what will be set down at once as the reveries of a monomania. The whole event is not only groundless in fact; it is utterly irreconcilable with the usage and taste of this country. If Mr. Forrest could establish his charges of inhospitality, persecution, subornation, and Heaven knows what, against Mr. Macready, he would drive that gentleman from every stage in this country, as well as from the Opera House at New York. We in England know no such practice. There is rivalry and jealousy enough, as there ever must be when diversity of tastes conspires with an opposition of interests, and when personal considerations axe allied with the mysteries of the beautiful and sublime. But these inevitable tumults of feeling arc confined to green rooms, to coteries, and as much as possible to the bosoms, be they manly or fair, of the rivals in this keen though graceful competition. Mr. Forrest has mistaken not so much Mr. Macready as the dramatic and literary society of this country when he imagines an organised attempt to depreciate his merits emanating from any man high in British estimati°n. Mr. Forrest has no reason what ever to suppose either that Americans in general lie under a prejudice in tilt country, or that his own res ception was not such as his credit at home entitled him to expect, or that our native actors enjoy special favour and protection. In the principal cities of the United States Mr. Forrest often plays Macbeth and Lear to half filled benches; and the house only overflows when he ap- pears as a champion of the masses in the characters of Cade, Spartacus, or Metamora. He has become " the pet " of the Bowery boys," iu consequence of the agrarian spirit which breathes through his prizs representations; but " his Shaksperian characters," says a Boston writer, " are not those with which he is identified in the public opinion." It has been precisely the same in this coun try. Mr. Forrest was admired in Metamora, and if the admiration was not quite so rapturous or so productive as on the soil of the savage hero, that is not to be won• dered at. He was not admired in his Shaksperian cha racters. But Mr. Forrest ought to know that many others than he have tried this high walk, and tried it in vain. To a Macready, or a Kean, there are twenty who have made a desperate push for that rank, and imme diately sunk into the crowd, under bitter ridicule or chilling indifference, Our theatrical annals suffi ciently answer the imputation that we are jealous of American merit, as we showed last Thursday, by a reference to the success of Messrs. Hackett and Hill, Mrs. Mowatt, and Miss Cushman, wild triumphed the same evening that Mr. Forrest suffered his alleged " defeat." But where is the prejudice in favour of native talent? Two great London theatres are lost to the drama for want of encouragement. At the present moment we have two Italian operas, a German opera, and a French theatre; and it is only by the greatest exertions that a few small theatres can be kept open for native talent and the vernacular tongue. If Mr. Mac ready possessed the spell of popularity, he would rescue Drury-lane or Covent-garden from horsemanship, tier. man operas, concerts, bazaars, and miscellaneous per formances. And as for Shakspere, it is only—now and then that he has a run of public favour. Last year the Queen gave him a fresh start by attending in state Mac ready's farewell representation of Cardinal Wolsey; and Shakspere's plays have since been all the fashion from the Haymarket to Sadler's Wells; but the taste of the metropolis does not often range so high as the " legiti mate drama," and, as we have already observed, it is not everybody—not more than two or three in an age—that we care to see in the almost impossible characters of Hamlet or Othello, Lear or Macbeth. But other causes have contributed to the catas trophe thanks. Forrest's ridiculous quarrel—causes which the journals of New York appear rather back ward to recognise. Unfortunately there is a class ques tion in the affair; and nowhere are class questions so terrible as in Republics. "In New York," says the writer we have quoted above,— " More than in most other large cities, there are two distinct classes of people, whose opinions, tastes, and manner of life are almost diametrically opposite. The class known as the Bowery boys, although not without their good traits of character, are naturally the opponents of the higher or more wealthy classes who reside in the vicinity of Waverly-place, and who pay high prices for pews in fashionable churches, and sustain with their pre sence the Italian Opera. The Bowery boys have a na tural dislike and enmity to the frequenters of the Opera House. The very fact that no person was admitted within it unless in full dress and with white kids was enough to arouse the passions of those men who nightly fid the pits of the Bowery and the Chatham, to witness the performance of highly wrought melodramas, in their red shirts, and with their pockets filled with pea. nuts and pig tail." The Opera House, with its evening dress, and no ad mission under a dollar, always unpopular, was an addi tional crime in Mr. Macready. Ho had just returned from a successful engagement at Baltimore, Boston, New Orleans, and even Philadelphia, since the begins ning of this quarrel, but he had not yet encountered the mob element in such fearful force and antagonism. Indeed, the outrages he suffered were such as we cannot ascribe to Mr. Forrest and his friend'. When we read of a heavy piece of wood and four chairs being hurled on the stage on the previous Monday, we are forced to suspect something more than a theatrical squabble. On the fatal night the mob was proceeding to the actual de struction of the theatre. This was the work of a " social" democracy pulling down everything to its own level. The result.is lamentable indeed, for the wound cannot but rankle. It is, however, consolatory to reflect that no blame appears to rest either on the authorities or on Mr. Macready, or on his friends. After the violence of the previous . Monday, when he was, in fact, driven from the theatre, he wished to conclude his engagements, but his friends, among whom is the illustrious name of Washington Irving, drew up an ad dress, urging him, for the credit of the city and nation, not to give way. He yielded to their advice. As for the measures taken by the authorities, though they pre sent a striking contrast to the details of the Montreal riot, and though they manifest a decision and an effect beyond what we have lately been accustomed to witness on the part of standing armies, emperors, and king", they do not appear to have exceeded the necessity of the crisis. Order was to ba restored; liberty, life, and pro. perty secured; and the good name of the union estab lished. When these were menaced by a desperate mob, force was to be encountered by force. The troops could not throw paving stones, so they returned the volley with bullets. The consequences of a deadly collision are inevitable, and attach to those who nrovoke it. We cannot, however, regard the catastrophe without some apprehension. - Already wicked attempts have been made by incendiary placards to link the " aristocracies" of New York and England, and represent Mr. Macready as establishing a British tyranny in the United States. The idea is too gross even for the " Bowery boys," hut the excitement, supplied as it is with so much anti- British material, is too likely to be renewed, unless all the good sense of the union is exercised to extin guish it. As' I THE IRISH STATE PRISONERS.—The doubts ex• pressed —or professed—by some persons in Ireland as to the disposal of the state prisoners, Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and M'Manus, whose appeal against their conviction has been finally decided by the House of Lords, are entirely misplaced, or at all events premature. It is impossible to know or to answer for what may be done hereafter, under other circumstances or in a dif ferent state of the public mind; but there can be no room whatever for doubt that the remission of the extreme sentence will, for the present at least, be accompanied by the condition of banishment for life. To suppose any thing ;else would be to conclude that all other political offenders less guilty than they, who are at this moment suffiring the several degrees of punishment annexed to their crimes, should also be released from all further ex piation of their offences. At the 'same time we repeat that the Royal clemency being ut all times paramount can be exercised at any future time, when it may be considered safe or expedient. Amongst the arguments against the punishment of death, it has always been urged in favour of secondary punishments that in time they can be mitigated or atoned. It would be, there fore, most inexpedient and improper in every point of view to limit the future exercise of the Royal preroga tive, whatever imperious reasons may exist at the pre sent moment against its further extension.--Sunday paper. THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—The number of visitors to this national institution yesterday was 17,370, being a considerable decrease as compared with the number on Whit-Monday last year, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—The crew of the steam-tug Royal Charter, and of the boat John, 13 in nureher, seized in this harbour lately by the Coast Guard, under Lieutenant Brown, of the Portsmouth-harbour Station, together with the guard under Lieutenant Scott, of the Southsea Castle Station, having been charged before the borough magistrates with the attempt to smuggle 150 half-ankers of spirits on the night of the 1611 inst., have all been convicted, each respectively in the penalty of 1001., which not being provided, they are severally under going six months imprisonment in the borough gaol. This was the most important " venture " made in latter years on this part of the coast, and the officers concerned in the seizure deserve great credit for their zeal and vigi lance in intercepting the parties and their illegal cargo, The Court leaves Osborne to-morrow morning for London. The Cuckoo steam. vessel, Commander H. DumareFq, sailed this afternoon for Jersey, to resume her station for the protection of the fishery. The S7lvia cutter has been completely fitted and got ready for sea in the Camber, from which she hauled out to day, yet she has not hoisted the pendant. Wind —N.E. by N. ; moderate and dark hazy weather. PLYMOUTH, MAY 26.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel Gladiator, 6, sailed on Wednesday, and the Diligence transport, with stores, on Thursday, both for Pembroke. Her Majesty's steam-vessel Jasper arrived on Friday from a survey, and having coaled, returned to her ground in the Bristol Channel. The masts of her Majesty's brig Harlequin were taken out and sent to the yard on WedLesday. Her crew were paid off on Thursday. On Wednesday her Majesty's ship Albion 90, was towed from her moorings by the Confiance steamer, in compliance with Admiralty orders for her to be docked and have her copper examined, preparatory to being put in commission. On Thursday, however, these orders were countermanded. Her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Henry W. Bruce, having had her copper examined and repaired, was t aken out of dock on WednescLy; she was paid off on Friday. Her crew havo been placed on board the Bellona receiving ship. Yesterday the steamer Sala mander went alongside to take seamen and marines to Chatham. When parting company the usual cheering took place. One tar, on the steamer poop, was so en thusiastic that when waving his hat he overbalanced him self, and fell into the sea. He sank twice before he was picked up, and was then so much exhausted that it be came necessary to convey him immediately to the Royal Naval Hospital. The Jlibernia, 104, Captain Wise, is expected here to be paid off in about a week, from Malta. The whole of her officers, it is said, will be transferred to the Queen, 110, on her being recommissioned. Her Majesty's ship Daedalus, 19, has been inspected by Admiral-Superintendent Sir John Louis, Bart,, pre paratory to her being reported ready for commission. The Calliope, 26, is ordered to be fitted for foreign service. When the Alarm was paid off here last week, the ship's company sent for one of their late shipmates, called Johnson, who accidentally had his arm blown off while firing a gun on board the Alarm last summer, and was in consequence obliged to be discharged, and each of the ship's company, upon receiving their pay, gave him a present of money. Mr. Samuel Angier has been appointed to fill the va cancy of first-class inspector of shipwrights, at the De vonport dockyard, vice Kemp, superannuated some months since; salary 150/. per annum. A master and two foremen are to be appointed to superintend the smiths, the former at a salary of 250/. per annum; the first foreman 1501., and the second 1251. per annum. This arrangement will not affect the present holders, nor, is the master to be immediately appointed. The present system of placing the superintendent of the smiths under the chief engineers will be discontinued. The Grecian was unmasted and the crew raid off to-day. The Ranger brig was undocked to-day, masted, and taken to the jetty to be rigged. She is to convey the June mail to the coast of Africa. The steamers Basilisk and Niger are to start on Tuesday for a trial cruise of ten days, when their rela tive rates of sailing and steaming are t , ) be tested. The artisans of the dockyard were not paid wages on Friday, as usual, in consequence of the crew of her Ma• jetty's ship Queen having been paid on that day. The artisans received their pay on Saturday. Off the Start, on Saturday morning, the 24th inst., the emigrant ship Aden, for - AustraliZran into a fish. ing boar, and carried away her mast and gear. The Aden left Plymouth for her destination this afternoon, but has put back in consequence of contrary winds. The Derelict Galliot Hermanna.—The crew of this ship, which was brought in here abandoned on the 31st of March last, arrived in New York on the 16th of April, on board La Duchesse d'Orleans, Captain Richardson, from Havre, for New York, which vessel came in contact with the galliot off the Eddystone. Wind.—S. W., fresh breeze, and thick weather. GREAT FIRE NEAR OXFORD-STREET.—Last nigh_ shortly after 9 o'cleck, a fearful fire, which was not ex tinguished until nearly midnight, and not until a plan. tity of property had been destroyed, broke out in then heim-street, Oxford-street. The premises were formerly in the tenure of the celebrated Dr. Brookes, but at the present time were in the occupancy of Messrs. Alderson and Sons, lead merchants and pew tererY. The flames originated, from some cause at present unknown, in the warehouse adjoining the Blenheim Dispensary. That building, containing a vast quantity of oil, turpentine, and other equally inflammable articles, caused the fire to progress with unusual swiftness, so that before an engine had time to reach the place the warehouse and all it con tained became wrapped in one immense sheet of flame. This caused a general turn-out of the firemen, and forth with the engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West of England Insurance Company, from the station in the Waterloo-road, arrived. The flames at that time were progressing so fearfully that the total destruction of the dispensary appeared inevitable; the firemen, however, set their engines to work, and did all that was possible to save the latter building from the ravages of the flames. Another warehouse, belonging to Messrs. Alderson, running under the dis pensary, whilst the firemen were at work, also became ignited, when the whole force w& brought to bear upon it, but in spite of which the fire continued to spread, and as the water was scattered upon the blazing oil and spirits it caused them to rise still higher, until the whole neighbourhood was in danger. The firemen, finding that no good could be accomplished by working the en gines upon the vats of oil which were on fire, had the hose from the engines conveyed round the burning pre mises, and by that means they were enabled to raceme pass the flames on every side, but it was not until the extensive warehouse in uhich they originated was burned out, its valuable contents consumed, the building under the dispensary severely damaged by fire and water, and the lecture-room of the dispensary injured by fire, &c., the flouring in several places being obliged to be cut away so that the men could discharge the water on the fire. The whole damage, it is stated by some of the firemen, will not be far short of 2,0001, CAUTION TO MASTERS OF VESSELS BRINGING PASSENGERS FROM IRELAND. —The Cardiff Guardian says—Jasper Travers, master of the James, of Kinsale, appeared on Thursday last, at the Town hall, Newport, before the Mayor and 'T. Hughes, Esq., to answer an information for having carried forty passengers more than allowed by his license, from Cartmasliery, in Ireland, to that port.—RichardTrew, assistant tide-surveyor of the customs, proved that defendant's vessel arrived on the 22d inst., with 119 adults and 78 children—passengers on board; and also 16 horses and 30 sheep—all confined together in the hold, the vessel being only 78 tons re gister! She was much over-crowded, and in a very of fensive state on her arrival. Witness said he never saw such starved and miserable looking beings in all his life. The defendant's license allowed him to carry only 98 passengers; and calculating the children as three for one adult passengers, he had on board 47 more than the num ber allowed.—Mr. Frost, tide-surveyor, produced the ye:sera register and the license he received from the de fendant; also his cargo-book, in which he had entered only 61 passengers.—The defendant said he did not know the number he had on board, and produced Ni cholas Welsh, one of the passengers, to prove that he ( Welsh) had smuggled two friends on board.—The case being clearly proved, Travers was fined 2001., being 54 each for 40 passengers; in default of payment he was committed to Usk house of correction for two!months. THE Wurrsuer HOLIDAYS.—The unpropitious wea ther of yesterday considerably damped the ardour of the holiday•makers. Vast numbers, however, made their way down to the different spots of suburban amusement. The chief point of attraction, as usual, was Greenwich. Here the railway and numerous steam-vessels continued throughout the day to land crowds of pleasure-seekers, the numbers increasing as occasional cessations of the rain gave promise of fairer weather. Richardson's and the Crown and Anchor both occupied their usual ground, and the caterers for public amusement found to their cost that their speculations had been on the losing side. At Stepney, Chalk Farm, Battersea, and Wandsworth, similar preparations were attended with a like result,. The British Museum and National Gallery did not re ceive one half the usual amount of patronage, the num ber of visitants averaging only 200 per hour. The Tower, the United Service Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral, the College of Surgeons, and the other scientific and popular places of research and amusement, though not absolutely deserted, were considerably thinned of their customary holiday frequenters. CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.—Before Mr. Baker, at the Adelaide public house, Hackney-road, on the body of Elizabeth Taylor,. aged 33.

Nags for riding or driving sold freely, sound and young making from 40 to .50 guineas each, second rate 25 to 35 guineas each.
