Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee has ended in smoke. All the labour is thrown away. The compromises were all known before he began to inquire into them, and we are not aware that his Committee brought to light any facts importance, except, perhaps, the sums of money ex pended at the different places. Surely the bribery and corruption at the boroughs in question were as notorious as the sun at noon-day before Mr. ROEBUCK moved in the matter. His Committee has autinnticated•the cx it,:lice of the corruption and bribery, and thrown an oliiigation on the House of Commons to take measures to put them down. Last night, tome% er, the House re fused-to assent to Mr. ROEBUCK'S resolutions, by which it has taken on itself the responibility of shielding the offences the Committee has exposed. The Commit tee inquired into an alleged criminality—the criminality is proved, and the House refuses to punish the criminal, or prevent future criminality. We did not anticipate that Mr. ltoEnreK would succeed, and we were inure surprised at the House granting the inquiry than at its refasing to adopt his conclusions. A worse course it could scarcely fellow. The House is now branded by its Committee as the offspring of bribery, and it is branded by itself as resolved to shelter and protect The hi,!cous monster from which it springs. It is so long since the plan of a compulsory exami nation for captains of merchant ships seas first brought under public notice, that we supposed it was given up, and we therefore preserved a discreet silence concerning it. Last night, however, Captain FiTznol- obtained leave to bring in a Bill to establish that species of exami nation. He is aware that it would be hopeless to attempt to pass it this session, and therefore he only proposes to introduce it, have it printed at the public expense, and circulate it through the country, in order that the objec tions' to it may be fully considered. lie proposes that Boards be appointed in England, *otatland, and Ireland, consisting of three examiners each, and a secretary. The system they are to act on is to be appl - oved by the Trinity Board, and the whole placed under the Board of Trade. The expense to be defrayed by fees. All persons who wish hereafter to be masters, or mates (,fships, must submit to be examined by them, all l to pay for a certificate to command a ship in every pal e of the world, 3/.; to command a. vessel or vessels on short voyages, 21.; mates 30s. and 20s. The scheme in volves, therefore, no inconsiderable amount of patronage, and no inconsiderable extension of taxation. As a gene rdl rule, the country is already suffering from too much of !•,f):11, end ought to be thoroughly and completely satis fied that, to extend them, will be of certain aid great advaatage before it approve of any such scheme. " It may nut," says Mr. Jonx PEAncuon., ,s ho is an oplwarllt of this scheme, " be altogether undeserving o f yu,ir een , ideration the inflicting on shipping a direct tax, in addition to the indirect delays, ob.-Aruetions, Ta!,ing the shipping of the Empire at 30,000, which is net tar from the mark, and the average fees at 31. 10s. fur a master, and 11. 53, for a mate; the aggregate direct tax, you see, is 142,3001. ! (less fur vessels under 60 tons) and this not for once only, but constantly recurring, as new masters and mates are required." This expense is to be incurred because, as Captain Frrzaoir says, there is now no examination of any kind with respect to the qtrlifications of the captains and mates' of merchant vessels. Captain 1 ITZROY deceives himself and the public by a name. There is, in tact, a practical examination, as much super:oi. to his proposed examination by Boards, as Eding- a horse every clay to ascertain his qualitie s is superior to seeing him for a fen. minuted when he is well fed, tired and gingered, anti trotted lbrth at a public fair. The education of captain mirehaut vea;e's is, as the rule, something to this elreet. The youth intended for that service acquires at some of the emuercial acade mies what navigation is taught, the theoretical rudiments of his art, and, at the a',-;e 9r 12 or 14, is put to 'sea with or without being hound ap prentice. He immediately begins a practical educa tion ; he assists in all the work of the ship, learns to stow the cargo, to go aloft to trim the sails, to steer, &c., and, at the same time, he learns to keep the ship's reckoning. Whatever practical knowledge the master and the mates have, he may gradually acquire. After . one or two voyages, depending on the length of time and the influence the youngster has with the shipowner, together with the character which his captain and the mates give him; he is appointed a second mate. After another voyage he is promoted to be chief unite; and, after a practical education of five or six years, or. more, according to circumstances, he is en trusted with the command of a ship. Instead of there being no examination, he is through , out the whole period of his noviciate undergoing a very rigid and close examination.- Day by day is he with the master and mates—day by day is he exposed to the jea lous observations of rivals—day by day arc all his ac tions watched and noted, and his character and fitness fur command, including not only his mere nautical abili ties, but his moral qualities, are known to a number of persons ;veil qualified to judge. But the ow ners of shipS, not the shipmates of the young aspirant, appoint captains or mates, and they are not good judges of their qualifications. In all cases not. Very often, however, the owners of ships are also the captains, or they are retired captains. All ship-owners, may, at the same time, by inquiry, ascertain the quali ties of the young men whom they wish or desire to give ships, and we believe that no ship-owner places a vessel under the command of a man without first ascertaining to some extent that he is worthy to be entrusted with the important charge. • Sometimes, no doubt, the ship-owner may be de ceived. From anxiety to provide for a son or a relation, he may place in the command of a ship, one who is not fit for the place ; but this is the exception, and the rule is for the ship-owner to select persons brought up as we have described, who are well qualified to command his -ships. If he commit errors from partiality, the service to which Captain FITZROY belongs shows, by numerous examples, that Boards and examination are no protec tion against the appointment of very inefficient officers. The ship-owner may, we think, be relied on to exercise a sound judgment, because his property is at stake, his income, which depends on freight f is endangered, and merchants will not freight a ship badly officered. He is liable, also, to pay damages caused by the unskilfulness of his captains ; and, in the majority of cases, therefore, the ship-owner has strong motives for making diligent. inquiries into the abilities of those persons he employs ; and for employing only those who have 'proved them selves qualified. In fact, a practical daily examination actually takes place of all candidates to command ships, and it rests with the owners, as it will • rest after the Board of Examiners are established, to employ whom they please. The present mode of examination recommends itself to us by two considerations - : it accords with the practices orraen in other business, andexperience has proved that it answers tolerably well. Merchants, manufacturers, farmers, shopkeeper 4 attorneys, Svc., are all brought up on a similar principle, and launched in life under simi lar auspices. There are no Boards to examine whether a young man is fit to take charge of a counting-house, to preside over a factory, to , look after a farm, to manage a shop, or• to practise as -an attorney.. The real practical education of men in all the great businesses of life (and we will not exclude those professions the members of which are obliged to undergo an examination) is obtained in the counting-house, or shop, or on the farm, and it is the daily examination of their conduct which inspires their parents; masters, or friends, with confidence in them, and leads to placing them at the head of establishments. The great scheme of practical instruction, without any Boards, has produced merchants, manufacturers, and farmers, as skilful as are to be found on the face of the globe. Will Captain FITZROY say that the practical education of merchant captains has not answered equally well ? Where will he find their superiors ? It seems bordering on gross absurdity now to say, when our steamers only have have crossed the Atlantic—when our merchant ships ha bitually visit the Southern Ocean, and almost reach the Southern Pole—when there is no sea, however remote, that is not visited and explored by them, while our stormy coasts are habitually navigated at a very small expense of life and property—when there are no ships in the world better navigated than English ships, it borders on gross absurdity to say that our system is not good, and that we must substitute for it the system of France, though its mercantile marine, compared to ours, is very inferior, and has been very unsuccessful. There is, we admit, one exception to the superiority we claim for our mer chant captains. They are in some points surpassed by the Americans. The Tom Coffins of Nantucket have almost driven our ships from the Southern whale fishery, but we have never heard that there are Boards of Examiners for the captains of American whalers, or that they are trained and appointed in a manner very di&rent from our own. We may hereafter, if necessary, enter more into detail ; we content ourselves now with asserting that Captain FITZROY'S whole scheme proceeds from a mis apprehension of the facts of the case, and from a confi dence in Boards and examinations which is not warranted by experience. Mr. PEARCE, a ship-owner, thus speaks of them : A freight offers for one of our vessels, requiring dispatch, and a master wanted; two offer,—one certified, but a man of mos; questionable character ; the other uncertified, but of most ex cellent character. What is to be done? The vessel cannot clear Custom-house with the latter: we are compelled to take the other. The vessel proceeds; the captain gets drunk, loses his reckoning, though a first-rate navigator, and the vessel is lost. Does the Bill, I ask, work evil or good ? Shall it be said that the examiners have been imposed on? Why, this is the very condemnation of the Bill,—that whilst it allows " good conduct, integrity, and sobriety," to be indispensable, the ex aminers it appoints can know nothing whatever of these essen tials but by certificates, which may be true or false; and of the truth or falsehood of which they have, in the vast majority of cages, no means of judging. In truth, Captain FrTznov's Boards can at best but ascertain the existence of nautical skill, and must leave all the moral qualities of the candidates—by f'ar the most important—to be learnt by the ship owners, as at present. Captain FITZROY'S scheme, therefore, is a piece of legislative delusion, such as afflicts us day by day. The plague of our time—more destructive than the pestilence of the twelfth century— is the interference of man with man by means of laws. There is nothing, however wisd, skilful, and holy, which can now escape the restrictions of igno rance. If a shipowner may nut sail his ship as he likes, why should a farmer be allowed t o cu lti vate his farm without giving proof of his ability ti the Quarter Sessions? Every day we hear if negligent and unskilful farmers ;, arc they also tu un dergo an examination, and take out certificates ? Yes . terday we noticed a gentleman, in a public paper, de manding that captains and stewards of river steam boats have plates and numbers like cads and drivers of omnibuses. Some petty annoyance is experienced, and forthwith the Legislature is appealed to to regu_ late steam-vessels like hackney coaches. Where and when is this pestiferous meddling of one man with the concerns of another to stop ? How long is fright ened or timid ignorance to give laws to knowledge? We will not pander to this mischievous meddling spirit; and on general principles, as well as for the particular reasons we have urged, we shall resist Captain Frratoit's Bill, and every such scheme for substituting general legislativ e rules in the management of the ordinary business of life for living and active individual discretion. We have received a brief account of a meeting held in the neighbourhood of Burnley, to take into consideration the case of a number of poor men, who, it would appear, had been committed, to the county gaol of Lancaster for non-payment of poor-rates. The requisition for the meeting was numerously signed, and on being presented to the Constable of the district, he convened a meeting of the inhabitants on Monday last, when the chair was duly taken by a rate-payer, and resolutions were passed strongly condemnatory of the conduct of the vestry, and also the committing Magistrates. If the statements in these resolutions are correct, a more harsh and unwarrantable stretch of power, we will venture to say, was never exer ei;ed, even by a country Justice of the Peace. The un fortunate men are described as paupers (not, we should conceive, in the strict sense of the word), but the miserable paltry sums fur which they were arrested prove that they must have lived as paupers, one of them beiNg committed fur non-payment of a rate of Is. I Id., another tor I Id., and the rest for similar trifles. It is stated, also, that the men were dragged from their homes, placed in a dungeon, and on the following morn ing were conveyed like felons to Lancaster Castle, a dis eanca of 44 miles, bound in chains. We have these facts on the authority of a bookseller of the place, who (4 . ive.s his name and address ; and as the meeting was held under the sanction of the local Magistrate, and was sttended by great numbers, m any o f whom must have been acquainted with the proceedings, there can be little doubt that a series of gross outrages has been com mitted. The Home Secretary, notwithstanding his high opinion of the discretion of Magistrates and Police constables, cannot sanction such cruel persecution as this ; and it would be, therefore, advisable to draw up a memorial on the subject for his consideration. A peti tion should also be transmitted to Parliament, setting iic y forth all the facts of the case; and if they are as stat e d i n resolutions, we doubt if an one Memb er o f the Ilouse, however he may slight the sufferings of the p T) ,, , could rare his voice to screen the oppressors. It is im ,mssible to justify measures by which a rale-payer, a and Whose rate is only lld., is chained like a felo committed to prison. Those who framed the law never contemplated that it would be enforced by acts which would be reckoned disgraceful even in Russia and Turkey ; and it is the duty of the Government, there fore, to see that they do not encourage a breach of the peace by abetting such practices. The French Journals received supply the details of the opening of the Chambers, on Tuesday, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The poor KING was deeply and painfully affected when alluding to the irreparable loss Which he had sustained in the death of his chivalrous son. In reading the ac count, the lamentation of another bereaved Monarch, that of DAVID, when apprised of the death of ABSALOM, seemed to ring in our ears. The stern Monarch, who had passed apparently unmoved through so many stern vicissitudes of fortune, " lifting up his voice and weeping aloud," was a sight calculated to move a less impassioned assembly than the French Chamber of Deputies. " The KING'S emotion," says Galignani's Messenger, " was so great that he found it impossible to give utterance to his words. He made the attempt a second time, and again he was unsuc • cessful. He at last found utterance, but his voice was thick, husky, and broken , with agitation. At the word " consolation" the KING could no longer withstand the torrent of his grief ; he laid down the printed speech, and burst into tears. Again he resumed, and his voice became stronger, until he spoke the words mon fill (my son), where it again faltered. At mu tenG'resse, tears again prevented his proceeding. At the end, his MA JESTY sunk back in his seat, and sobbed convulsively, hiding his face in his handkerchief." These few brief sentences present a picture of parental afflic tion hardly less moving than that recorded in Samuel, to which we above alluded. " The KING covered his face, and cried with a loud voice, 0 my son ABSALOM! 0 ABSALOM my sun, my son! Would to GOD I had died for thee, 0 ABSALOM my son, my son !" That in the presence of such genuine grief the audience was deeply moved is not surprising. We can, therefore, well believe those eye-witnesses who inform us that they never beheld so atlixting a spectacle as the Chamber presented during the delivery of the Royal Speech. But, moved as were the Deputies with the grief of the KING, We learn that the Opposition are resolved not to content themselves for this session with the passing of a Regency Bill. They propose beginning with the now usual mode of impeaching Ministers, that is to say, voting that they have not the confidence of the Chambers. Rumour affirms that M. GUIZoT and his colleagues are quite prepared to stand such a test, and that they rather court it than other wise. If it be made at all, the sooner the better. There is some talk that the Opposition will propose M. ODILLON BA altOT for the Presidency of the Chatnlier ; the Ministers of course will support the claims of the ex-President, M. SAUZET, who we have no doubt will be re-elected. A section of the Opposition were for bringing forward M. Durist, but the irrita bility of his temper, and the causticity of his gibes, have obtained for him far more admirers than► friends among the Deputies. It . was therefore soon dis covered that his chance of ever again being elected was a very poor one indeed. Ministers calculate that the effect of the KING'S appearance at the opening of the session will decide the votes of numerous waverers in favour of the Cabinet, and we entertain a similar opinion. If the Opposition strike their grand blow before the first im pression made by the KING'S appearance wears off; there is little doubt of the triumph of the Cabinet for the present. The Vigil, a Dieppe journal, says,—" People talk much of act approaching visit of the king to Eu ; they even pretend that he will pass three months there. These reports should seem to be in some measure correct by the presence of M. Fontaine, architect to the Court, at the Palace of Eu. It is certain that the workmen employed in the palace are proceeding with the greatest activity." We have received the Monileur Algerien of the 20th of July. A general order of Lieutenant-General Bugead, dated the 17th of July, communicates to the army the telegraphic despatch which announces the death of the Duke of Orleans. The Monitcur Algerien publishes two general orders, one appointing General Changarnier to the command of the provinces of Medeah and Milianah, comprehending the ex-Caliphats of Sidi, Embarrak, and Berkani, and fixing his official residence at Blidah. The other general order, which is addressed to all the officers of the African army, the Governor-General recommends the utmost caution in their intercourse with the Arabs. As their submission has been forces►, they cannot, he remarks, sympathise with the French population for a considerable length of time, and they may seize on what they conceive to be favourable opportunities to break what they call their chains. The utmost caution is, therefore, says General Bugeand, to be practised. The order says : Let not your soldiers even pass the advance post without arms, and in strong detachments. Always keep a picket ready t o march at a moment's notice. Let no Arabs be' permitted to enter your markets or quarters armed. Watch unceasingly, and try to have amongst them some friends who may give you information of any plots against you. Never forget that mis trust is the mother of safety, and never he remiss in any point of careful service. Never send any detachments but when they arc dispensable. I prefer that the service of couriers arid ordonnanees should be made by the Arabs. In this way you will take care of your soldiers' health, and will nut be ex posed to untoward accidents."

PARIS, JULY 27. The Opposition, though consenting to present no amendment on the Address, nor to go to any division on the Regency, have still resolved to bring forward a mo tion for overturning the Ministry. M. Guizot is not reluctant to accept the challenge. M. Barrot is the Opposition candidate for the Presi dency. The Ministry will support Sauzet. The Chamber of Deputies is occupied to-day in the appointment of presidents to the bureaux, in which the Conservatives have a decided advantage. The return of M. Emile Girardin is contested. MADRID, JULY 20.—The Infanta and family proceed to Santander, not Seville. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. THE OFFICE OF HIGH BAILIFF OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. Mr. WIRE said it was necessary to appoint a gentleman to perform the duties until the election should take place, and the person deputed to act temporarily, must be one who had no idea of becoming candidate himself.—( Hear, hear.) He then moved that Mr. Charles Pearson, the City Solicitor, be requested to act as High Bailiff of Southwark until the election should occur. The motion was unanimously agreed to. The CITY SOLICITOR rose and said, he should with pleasure discharge the duties of the office, and that he felt obliged by the renewed evidence of the confidence and esteem of the Court.—( Hear.) THE DISTRESSED COAL-WHIPPERS. Mr. STEVENS submitted a motion for the suspension of a standing order of the Court, in order that he might bring for ward a petition without the ordinary notice. The petition was, he said, from a number of coal-whippers of sober and indus trious habits, who complained that they had no chance of em ployment while a single coal-whipper who was of drunken and profligate habits was unemployed. The petitioners declared that great numbers of them were in a state of actual starvation, and besought the Court to establish an office, to be under the control of the City, where they might be employed, and paid one penny per ton. They also prayed for some pecuniary as sistance. The Court would not permit the Standing Order to be sus pended in the case of the petitioners ' but will, upon a futur e inquiry into the merits, no doubt afford all the assistance in their power to the poor families. A Report was brought up from the Coal, Corn, and Fi. nance Committee, recommending that the sum of 100 guineas be granted to Alt. Abraham Francis, formerly the owner of the European Coffee-house, opposite to the Mansion. house, as compensation for l,sscs sustained by him whit q occupyin g th at house. A Report was brought up from the same Committee, re commending that the sum of '2O/. be paid to Elizabeth Hern, the widow of a ward beadle of Farringdou, and who had lost his life by coming in contact with a dangerous obstruction in the place in which he was attending to the duties of his office. THE ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. Alderman Lucas presented a petition from the Royal Naval Benevolent Society, an admirable Association. established at the commencement of the Revolutionary war, for the aid of the widows and families of gallant men who had fallen in battle, or become victims to the climates in which they had served. The venerable Alderman most feelingly and effectively advocated the cause of the families of those in whose behalf the petition was presented, and succeeded in getting it referred to the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, by a very large majority. After some other petitions had been presented, which were referred to Committees, the Court adjourned. GIZEAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.

Generally speaking they are nearly in the same strain as those by which they have been pre ceded ; but we gather a more positive assurance from the organs of the Opposition, that although they are re solved to prevent, if possible, the separating of the Chambers, after having performed the great duty for which they have been convened without an effort to bring Ministers to a conflict of principle, instead of wait ing for the regular session, it is not intended to make the Regency Question the ground of party struggle. On this question, therefore, there is a prospect of something approaAinr, unanimity. The Constitutionnel has an article on the distressed condition of the industrious classes in Great Britain After painting it in colours not inure gloomy than the reality, but indulging in a prediction of increase of misery from an increasing depression of trade, says— •' It would be a mistake to suppose that the distress in England is confined to the manufacturing classes. In Ireland there art' no manufactories, and yet the misery there is 'beyond comparison greater than in Great Britain. The fundamental cause of English pauperism will be found in the vicious distribution of the soil, and in the inalienability of the great bulk of landed property. For a long time the breeding of cattle has been substi tuted as much as possible fur the cultivation of corn ; fields are transformed into pasture-ground to suppress labour and to increase the nett produce of the land►ord. Little attention has been paid to the raw produce, which is definitively the important point in the economy of a nation. The great object has been to obtain the greatest nett revenue possible, and for that purpose small farms, requiring a considerable number of labourers, have been done away with." The Commissary of the Bourse has received notice that it will remain open on Saturday net t, and is to be closed only on August 3, the day of the funeral service !or the Duke of Orleans. ' The Connier de la Gironde having given ft o:n its Paris correspondence an erroneous account of M. Lafitte's visit to Neuilly after the death of the Duke of Orleans, the Journal de Rotten, the Opposition paper in that city, for which M. Lafliitte has been re-elected, has the follow ing :—" The dai after the death of the Duke of Orleans AI. Laflittc repaired to Neuilly, and asked to see the King, but his lilajesty not receiving any person, M. Laf titte was not admitted. lie then requested on. of the Aides-de-Camp on duty to express to his Majesty his grief and regret, and withdrew. in his turn, the King charged GeneralGour,, ,, aud to write to M. Laflitte to tes tify to him how much he was touched with his proceed ing, and to thank him for it. Nothing else took plact." _ _ Madrid letter in the Memorial Liu' rthliis states that the Regent of Spain has sent an aut,graph letter of con dolence to the King of the French. The Constitucionul of Barcelona states that General Zurbano, amongst his instructions to the Military Com mandants of Barcelona, has ordered that any person seized by rebels who shall, in order to obtain his release, pay the sum demanded as ransom, shall be shot, and that any person applying on the part of the captive to his fa . - mily for the amount of ransom, shall undergo the same penalty. The Constitucionul mentions that two inhabi tants of San Esteban de Slewana have been shot, one of them for giving a letter of recommendation to a monk who accompanied the rebel Felipo, the other for giving food to the monk when concealed in a cavern. • The Berlin State Gazette announces that, on Sunday, 17th inst., the Palace of the Regency at Dantzie caught ire, and burnt for four hours before the flames were subdued. The upper storey and the roof were consumed. En this part of the building were deposited public acts, and other valuable documents, the most important of which, however, were saved. The fire is unaccounted for, And considered the more extraordinary, as these deposi taries were always locked up with the greatest care. Commissioners are at present actively employed, say the Brussels Journals, in examining the Belgian Rail roads, in order to be better able to decide on the line to be chosen between Cologne and Berlin. The Berlin and Stetten Railroad is in full course of execution, and the part between Venstadt and Everswald is already ter minated. It is expected that the line between Berlin and Frankfort on the Oder will be terminated in October. PARLIAIVIENTAIM. The Lord Chancellor was so far recovered that he last night took his seat on the Woolsack. The Exchequer Bills Bill was read a third On the motion to read the Customs Act Amendment Bill a third time, Lord Monteagle remarked that allowing corn to come out of bond duty free would have no effect on price, unless the quantity were increased, and would consequently only enrich the holders of corn. The Noble Lord also re marked that the sliding scale kept corn out when the price was rising, and caused it to be brought in to the injury of the far mers when the pride was falling. The Earl of Ripon in reply to questions from Lord Mont eagle, said that the Government had altered the duties on cement, beeause they were throwing people out of employ ment; that our commercial relations with Portugal were friendly ; that Brazil believed our treaty with that State expired in 18412; and that our Government had made rcpresentatiens to France and Belgium on the subject of their regulations as to linen yarn. The Bill was then read a third time. The Poor-laud Bill went through a Committee, and is to be read a third time to-day. Lord Campbell brought forward his motion to pass a stand ing order to prevent hearing as counsel at the Bar on pending Bills, Members of the House of Commons. The Learned Lord grounded his motion principally on the conflicting duties which a Member might have as counsel and as a legislator, and on the fact that his mind might be warped as a lawmaker by his fees as counsel. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougham both opposed the motion as uncalled for and unnecessary. Lord Brougham roasted his Learned Friend Lord Campbell, and took the op portunity of eulogizing Mr. Roebuck. Lord Campbell's mo tion was negatived. The Limitation of Actions (Ireland) Bill was read a second time. Some other Bilis were advanced, and their Lordships then • adjourned. In the Commons Mr. Divett obtained some information about the Portendic claims, which is by no means satisfactory. The Right Hon. Baronet a4mitted that his expectations that France would satisfy those claims had been disappointed. The tone of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech was desponding and disparaging of France. It seems she is careless about doing justice to England. The Law Courts ( Ireland) Bill was postponed for the session. Some conversation took place concerning the meetings of the Conference Deputation with the Ministers. Sir James Graham was convinced that he had misrepresented Mr. Fielden at one of those meetings, and Sir R. Peel complained that a report of his interview with the Conference gave a false impression of the whole affair. Captain Fitzroy obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the examination of future captains of merchant vessels. The [-lon. Gentleman explained the objects of the Bill at some length, and there was a general acquiescence in his propos►tion. Mr. Roebuck moved the resolutions we adverted to yesterday, and supported them at considerable length. A debate ensued, in which the several inculpated Members defended themselves. The Solicitor-General moved the previous question, and Sir Robert Peel declined to support the resolutions, declaring that while he approved of the inquiry, and was sure it would do goad, it was not intended to be in any way penal. On a division, Mr. Roebuck's motion was lost by 136 to 47. The House afterwards discussed Captain Pechell's motion re lative to the capture ofslave ships, and adjourned at One o'clock. WIONET—TRAIDE—COAVIAIMAC]E. An Anti-Corn-law meeting took place at Hoxton on Wed nesday evening, when Mr. W. Rawson, the treasurer of the League, addressed a numerous audience. Another meeting was also held by the inhabitants of Kings land, who were addressed by Messrs. Moore and Bright on the same subject. A concert for the distressed manufacturers is now in con templation by the musical professors of London, and the en tertainment is proposed to be giver► in the Opera-house, or the largest hall that can be obtained for it, early in the ensuing year. Sir George Smart has consented to act as conductor on the occasion. A large public meeting was held on Wednesday at Tooting, on the subject of the present distress of the country, when a re solution, declaratory of the firm determination of the meeting to continue their agitation until its object was attained, was passed by an unanimous vote. At Hanley, in the Potteries, most of the colliers have gone to work ; at Bilston several masters have given their men no tice ; and at Walsall a turn-out of the iron-stone miners em ployed at the various works at the Birehells took place on Wednesday. They are going about and stopping all the works they can. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. It is in contemplation to form a new park at Notting-hill, to be called Kensington Park. The site proposed is the rising ground in the vicinity of the Hippodrome. The Grand Jury of the county of Mayo, convinced of the advantages that would result to Ireland if a measure of general registration of births, deaths, and marriages were adopted in that kingdom, on the same plan as has been found so beneficial in England, adopted a declaration at the late assizes to that effect ; but, considering the present burden of taxation on the country, added, that it would be useless to attempt it, until some simple and unexpensive plan can be devised. The wood-paving in Newgate-street, to be continued through the Old Bailey, is now being laid down by the workmen. It forms part of the cont r a c t entered into with the City for the paving of sever a l of th e p r incipal thoroughfares with wood. LAW AND P 01,14 ; 4 . At Union Hall on Wednesday, Mr. Jones, residing in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall Gardens , stated that the fireworks let off there at night caused his famil y great annoy ance. O n Monday night a lighted rocket fell through the skylight of his dwelling; another penetrated through the tiles of the stable, and a third, unexploded, had fallen into the garden. The party who attended fos the lessee promised to alter the time for letting off the fireworks, and also to remove them into some remote part of the Gardens. At the Stafford Assizes, on the 26th inst., George Dodd and George Baker were indicted for stealing the mane and tail of a horse. It appeared the prisoners had been in the habit of going out at night and cutting off the hair of the mane and tail of every horse they could catch, and selling it to dealers. One of the prisoners had described the trade as very amusing as well as profitable, and dilated particularly on the merriment he experienced on seeing the astonishment of the farmers in the morning when they found their " poor devils so queerly trimmed. They were found guilty, and sentenced; one to nine months' and the other to three months' imprisonment. : 41 TZAARY AND t:.7.LEIVX*IX'Zi.;.

The splendour of the Cup day at Ascot is proverbial—not less so is its prototype at Goodwood, where, weather permitting, we may safely calculate upon plenty of sport, and a large assem blage of " rank, fashion, and beauty." Such proved to be the ease this afternoon ; coaches, private carriages, hired vehicles of every possible description, made their way to the ground at an early hour, from Brighton, Portsmouth, Worthing, and every other town within a circle of 30 miles; nor was the metropolis " wanting." The " Duke of Richmond" and several other coaches having arrived before noon, the Chichester, Medhurst, Petworth, and Arundel furnished their quota, the aggregate, from as good an estimate as the dust permitted us to make, being fully up to the average of the best seasons. The stand was crowded with elegantly-attired and fashionable company, the lawn held a throng of a more motley character. Some who had paid, some who ought to have paid, and not a few who ought not to have been admitted pay or not. Every other part of the Course gave indications of the greatness of the attraction, and, admitting that the principal race was less exciting than usual with sporting men, we may ♦enture to assert that nearly all the striking features of a Cup day were exhibited in the most favourable light. Punctually at the appointed time, the horses reached the Starting-post for A Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. each, for two yrs old colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, list 31b ; 31b and Mb allowed. T.Y. C.

The running was made to the turn by Yorkshire Lady, and then taken up by the Young-'un, who carried it on to the rails, where he was passed by Vibration. Her lead lasted half way up the distance, where Camelino went up, headed, her, and beat her to the finish by a neck cleverly. Concertine, Snow drop, and Corunto were well up. t The Racing Stakes of 50 soya, each, p.p. for 3yr olds, New Mile. (26 subs.) Lord G. Bentinck's (61b. extra) ....(W.

Thistle Whipper was in front at starting, but in a few strides contented himself with the second place, the lead being taken at a good pace by Policy, Thistle Whipper and Fireaway lying next, Yorkshire Lady arid Beleceur fifth and sixth, Charles, The Squire, and Seamew horse bringing up the rear. There was no alteration of the slightest moment in the leading horses until they reached the last turn, where Charls and The Squire moved towards the front. At the distance the race was over. Charles went by his horses, made the rest of the running, and won in a canter by two lengths. Fireaway was beaten two lengths from the second. The Seamew horse pulled up a mile from home, and Sleight-of-hand, The Yorkshire Lady, and Belcceur, were tailed off two distance. The pace was good.

This regatta, on Tuesday, for a purse of sovereigns given by the Nobility and Gentry residing at Ptitney, Reehampton, and its vicinity, was very excellently attended. It was a sculler's wager (two pair in each boat) in three heats, somewhat strangely arranged, the last men in the first heat being entitled to row in the second, thus makinz three starts in each heat. The first heat consisted of John Cobb and James Green, yellow • Wm. Cobb an'l Chas. Cobb, white ; Wm. Robinson and Thos. Green, stripes ; and the second of Joseph Robinson and Joseph Woolsoncraft, pink ; James Robinson and Arthur Simpson,' blue. After disputing the distance in style in three heats, stripes, yellow, white, and blue started for the grand heat, to row from Putney-bridge, down round a boat below the cedars, up the South shore, round a boat off the Vice- Channel lor's, and then through the centre,arch of Putney-bridge. After a few strokes white took the lead and kept it, winning by half a-dozen lengths ; stripes were second, yellow third. DOGGEIT'S COAT AND BADGE. The annual contest for the Coat and Badge, bequeathed by Doggett, the celebrated comedian, in commemoration of them ascension of the family of her present Majesty to the throne of Great Britain, will take place on Monday next by the following six young watermen - • • George Henry Ross Greenwich John Wm.

Meekiff is the first favourite, anti Leddy, who is a sharp sculler, is spoken well of. The General Steam Navigation. Company's steam ship Wilberforce arrived on Wednesday at a quarter to seven. having left Antwerp the previous afternoon, thus performing the passage under 18 hours. She brought the Antwerp and Brussels papers of Wednesday. MOVE Y and COMMERCIAL NE WS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The steadiness of the ul ward tendency of the funds continued to the close of business, and Consols left off at 914 91i for Money, and for the Account; Bank Stock, 167 169; India Stock, 249 250 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. Foreign Securities were rather firmer ; the prices were— Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51i 51i ; the Five per Cents., 1011 1014 • Danish, 81182 i ; and Brazilian, 64i 65i. Not a bargain in Mexican having been made to-day no quota tion can be given. In the Share Market, London and Birmingham were 180 181 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 48 50 ; Great Western, 88&- 89 ; the Half-Shares, 63 631 ; South Western, 614 62k; North Midland, 591 60i; th New Shares, 29 30; South Eastern and Dover. 22i 23i ; the Scrip, 8 8i ; East ern Counties, 84 9-"; ; Northern and Eastern, 40 41 ; Blackwall, 9 9i ; and Brighton, 33i 34 per share. . . . The quotations for the Bonds (nominally) were Colombian, 20; 21 ; Peruvian, 15 16 • Portuguese Five per Cents., 34 33, 1 ; the Three per bents., 196 20 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 20i 20i; the Three per Cents., 20i 20k. (From The Sum-of Last Night.) The Funds remain exceedingly firm in price, but with very little business. Consols have been all day 9l for Money, and for the Account • Three per Cents. 'Reduced 911; Three and-a-Half per bents. Reduced, 100 a 100q i ; New Three and-a-Ealf per Cents., 100 100 k; Bank Stock, 167 169; India Stock, 249 261 ; India Bonds, :30; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. Foreign Securities have also been without transactions of moment, although prices are steadily maintained. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds have been sold at 516, the Five per Cents. at looi, and the Brazilian at 65. Neither the intelligence from Mexico, or the arrival of a fut ther amount of specie, and the information that Government was about to send another conducta forward, have been sufficient to induce a single bargain in the Stock to-day. The accounts, though they add but little to those last received, are still of a favourable character, and would appear to lead to the conclusion that in reality the difference between Texas and Mexico will be amicably arranged, though each of the countries is loud in its boast ings of invading and conqueritr , the other. The one is stated only to wait for reinforcements from the United States to com mence operations, and the other the arrival of two steam-boats from this count) yto begin the war ; which boats, by the way, the Texians state they are determined to take before they reach their destination. But the whole may be expected to be carried on privately, as the blockade has been on paper. As long as peace is maintained so long the engage ments with the Engloh creditors are likely to be kept, and either country is too well acquainted with the advantages of quiet to wish an open warfare, however great their blusterings to the contrary may be. The Share market has been better, the purchases have been —London and Birmingham at 182; New Thirds, 301; Manchester and Birmingham, 27 1 / 2 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 48; Great Western Half Shares, t;3&; South Western, 62; and South Eastern, 23. _ _ Twe bargains appear to have been made in the Bonds—Co lombian at 204 21; and Spanish Five per Cents. at 20 21. The commercial intelligence received from the West Indies, by the Tweed, and which comes from Jamaica to the 26th uh., is not of great importance. The expectation which had been formed of larger crops this year than had been raised last, ap pear to be about to be successfully realised, while scarcely any improvement had taken place in trading depression. The wea ther had been extremely propitious fin cutting the canes, al though in some districts heavy rains had somewhat impeded this operation, but not to an extent sufficient to cause serious injury. • The want of labourers continued, though in the prin cipal islands the negroes were working steadily, but still not sufficiently fer the proper cultivation of estates. The mismanagement of the West India steamers continues to excite much complaint throughout the whole of-the colonies. The quantity of sugar received from these colonies in 1841 was 2,151,217 cwt., and in 1831 it had been 4,103,81)0 cwt. Rum had fallen from 7,844,157 gallons in 1831, to 2,770,161 gallons in 1841. Coffee had decreased from 20,030 802Ibs. in the first-named year, to 9,927,6691135. in the last. Demerara had produced less sugar by 386,873 cwt., less rum by 1,397,23:3' gallons, and less coffee by 1,245,7211h5., the defici ency almost wholly arising from the want of labourers ; and the accounts of the prosrct of the forthcoming crop represent that it will be far below that of the last year. Between these periods the consumption of sugar in the United Kingdom increased from 3,781,011 cwt. to 4,058,431 cwt. The defici ency in the produce of the West Indies being supplied from the Mauritius and India, the former raised its 'exportations from 456,546 cwt. to 724,825 ewt., and the latter from 113,524 cwt. to 1,066,032 cwt. As similar complaints as to the want of labourers are of constant occurrence at the Mauritius, the Colonial Passengers' Bill will be of great benefit towards pro • rooting the prosperity of this valuable, and now necessary colony. . . . - MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 27.—Our market evinces a more healthy feeling, accompanied with a general dis position to buy, but, in •consequence of sellers expecting to realise higher prices, they are holding back.

We hear from Bruges that the rye harvest is proceeding rapidly ; more than half the rye is already reaped, and the whole will be got in in less than a week, if the fine weather continues. The farmers assert that the prucluce will be above an average crop in quantity, and the quality will be excellent. We have similar accounts from the other parts of the province. Mademoiselle Rachel has more than fulfilled all the expecta tions which her high reputation had caused the inhabitants of Brussels to entertain. :MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPE - AS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.-It Consols have the same quotation for Money and the Ac count so long before the settling day. The explanation generally given is, that a quantity of stock is now from time to time sold by the speculators for the rise during the progre,,s of the former accoun t, f or th e p ur p ose o f closing that account, and that all the stock in the market is continually absorbed by the purchases of the public. Thus, while on the one hand the operations have been such as to depress the values for time, on the other hand the public have steadily supported the money price of stock. As, however, it is expected that the remains of the old . " Bull" account are nearly all disposed of, it is thought that the time-value of stock will soon have a firmness corresponding to the money value. Though it has ceased to be necessary to offer any caution to the public in the affair of the Westminster Loan and Investment Company, the circumstances which arise from day to day relative to its proceedings, and the actors in them are not unworthy of notice. These, for the most part, are very fully described in the police. reports, but several Correspondents have commented strongly on the conduct of the solicitor, who, by his own account, had been employed by the shareholders to wind up the concern, and who has since admitted that the only person with whom he held any communication, was Mr. Charles Kerry Nicholls, the Managing Director and Secretary, who held all the property, it' any "x isted, under his control, out of which the liquidation was to he or!oed. !Ind who ~ • ,s for chief.' ro.rty responsible to the shareholders and d e positors for their losses. The solicitor's proper course would have bee . n . to loam first whether any assets remained, and then if any respectable shareholders were forthcoming who ~ had been wholly unconnected with the management, and by this to guide his further movements, not forgettingl there was another class—that is, the depositors—who were still more in need of protection. After what has transpired, however, through the police reports, the pro bability is that there is nothing to divide. CHRONICLE.—The claims of the wine trade to a drawback on their stocks on hand, so as to give them the benefit of any reduction in the duties through a coral mercial treaty with Portugal, seem. to . be well founded, to Sir George Clerk is old enough to know that these are •.! not times for attempting to defeat the ends of justice by drawing technical distinctions.. Sir George says that it l is not the practi ce f or t h e "B oar d o f C ustoms ' to Im -1 pose or to make a return of duty on the stocks on bend. We shall not directly dispute the practice of the Board. of Customs, in opposition to a member of the Govern went possessing such perfect means of obtaining corkM.t, information; but' we remember very well that in May, 1840, when Mr. Baring imposed the . additional . per centage on the Custom and Excise duties, the mercantile interests made a serious compbtint that the additional duties were made exigible on their stocks in hand, and strong remonstrances were forwarded, in consequence, to the Treasury; but we do not understand that these remonstrances were attended with success. On contrary, it was shown by Mr. Baring that on pre'.;t. vious occasions, and particularly in June, 1830, wheq: , ;l Mr. Goulburn was Chancellcr of the Exchequer, that one additional spjrit duty was imposed from the date of the resolutionS, and levied upon the stocks in the warehouses in this country. The only concession granted was a pro vision in the Bill founded on the resolutions applicable to contracts by which, in cases where delivery had no; taken place, previous to the date of the resolutions, the duty was ordered to be added to the price. When we . • see, therefore, that on previous occasions the crown reaped the benefit of the additional duties impoSOd, it seems but fair, on the other hand, that the trade should new enjoy the advantage of the reduction on the duties affecting the wines of Portugal. Surely Sir George Clerk does not mean to contend that there can be One rule fll. the Board of Customs and another for the Board of Excise. Yet it is beyond the pwer of dispute that, as respects the Excise duties at least, it has been the practice" to impose the additional duties on account of the stocks on hand, making provision only for cases of previous contract not completed by delivery. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. A lad, named James Connor, who was in a dreadful state 0 filth, was placed at the bar, charged with sleeping in the open air at the door of St. Giles's workhouse. The policeman stated he knew the lad to have been lately in, the employ of Mr. Oakley, shoemaker, of No. 6, Little Wild; street, and that having left there, he bad slept for the last three nights at the door of the workhouse, in the hopes of getting Wednesday night being so very tempestuous witness took hia to the station-house, out of compassion, for rest and shelter. The lad stated that he had applied to Mr. Tucker, the over seer of the workhouse, for a lodging, but he would not admit him. He told Mr. Tucker that he had no where else to go, and if he would not admit him he must remain and sleep out side ; and there he had remained and slept for the last three nights. He was nineteen years of age, and bad been dismisse4 from Mr. Oakley's because there was no more work for him ; work was very flack now. He had neither father nor mother, nor a single friend in the wide world. Mr. Twrroan appeared to think it a bard case that a fel low-being should be refused admission into a workhouse, and be compelled to sleep in the open air on a night so awfully tern.' pestuous as Wednesday night; he ordered the policeman te take the lad to the workhouse, inquire Why he had not been, admitted, and let him know the result of his inquiries. The policeman returned, and said that Mr. Tucker took the boy in directl3, and stated as a reason for not having taken hies in before that it was necessary to inquire previous to doing eo whether he wasaparishioner.___ GREENWICH POLICE. Yesterday, the four persods who had been held to bail for their appearance on a charge of inciting the mob to rescue Dr. M'Douall, from the custody of the police, on Wednesday night, avpearid before Mr. Jeremy. They gave the names, AM Dowling, No. 8, Marlborough-piaCe, Chelsea ; Conrad War ren, No. 4, Waterloo-place, Knightsbridge ; Joseph Muchlow , Rotherhithe-street, Rotherhithe, and Thomas Varden, Si monii's-row, Somers Town. The CoUrt and its vicinity was as much crowded as on the previous day. Dowling's ease was first heard. John White, 180 R, was sworn, and said, I was at the meet" ing on Tuesday night. • Upon Dr. M'Douall being taken int° custody, I saw the prisoner seize and endeavour to rescue him , calling out to the mob, " Down with the police ; don't let them take the Doctor," which he called out several times*, I seized him, when he said, " You butcher, leave go 0 1 ' me." I kept him in custody until Le got to the station-house* In answer to the prisoner witness said he did not say " I mtis , have one of these men." William Bassett, 237 R, stated that he heard Dowling re", peatedly call out "Down with the police, down with the butchers , to the rescue ; don't let them take the Doctor." Cross-examined—l did not say at the chapel" I have marked , ; you " I had no doubt at the station about your being the rne°, who used the expressions. Th e S u p er i n t en de n t t o ld me n ot Ic i se say what I did not hear. Mr. Mallalieu was sworn to the fact of Bassett identifying. Dowling as the man who had been most active in inciting' the mob. A person named Cooke, a tailor, living in Lisson-grove, wa s called by the prisoner. He state d that he had been invited to address the meeting in the Broadway, which he did from th e pump. Mr. JEREMY—WiII you swear that you was invited to ad; dress the meeting in the Broadway ? Witness—l am no bound to answer every question. tho liMr. JEREMY—You are bound to answer all questions ' t . Court which are likely to promote the ends of justice. ness—l was invited. Mr. JEREMY—That was before any disturbance. Witness —I deny there was any disturbance. The witness, however, declared that he was with Dowling, who was very quiet, at half-past nine, when it was proved that he was locked up in the station-house at half-past eight. Mr. JEREMY, addressing Dowling, said it was better for his sake that the case should go no further, and the prisoner agree ing to that, he was willing to take a very considerate view of he matter, and only required him to find sureties for his future good behaviour. By the advice of Dr. lll'Douall the prisoner agreed to this, and bail being given, he was discharged. The cases against the other prisoners were of a similar de scription, and were disposed of in the same manner. Mr. JEREMY said application had been made to him by Dr; M'Douall for a copy of the charges made against him and the other individuals. He (Mr. J.) had no power to grai 4 the request, the police being the party to whom he must a pply. Dr. M'Douall said he had applied and it had been refused. Mr. Mallalieu replied that the sheet containing the charges . ,„ , would be forwarded to the Police Commissioners that after. noon, to whom Dr. M'Douall might apply ; but he certainly would not allow him to see it. Dr. /ll‘Douall —I shall then take two witnesses with toe to London to prove your refusal. He then left the Court. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—The benefit of Mr. Oxberry took place at this theatre on Wednesday. The best performance of the night was Deaf as a Post, in which Mr'.

Part I. commenced with the overture (Auber's) in Massaniello, played by the whole or chestral band, after which, the ballad of " Balmy May," Wee sung by ;digs Dolby; " The Mermaid's Song," by Mies Bassano, which was loudly encored. A grand fantasia which Mr. T. Julian Adams performed with considerable taste, was much applauded. " The Infant Sappho" closed the first part' with one of those interesting fantasias which she makes so by the naivete of her manner and her extreme youthfulness; ber exertions were as usual much applauded. The second part con" menced with Auber's overture to Fra Diavolo, after which Mr • demoiselle Grisi sang an aria very pleasingly from Rossint s e,;', Stabat Mater. Mademoiselle Moltini, next sang a solo, ac' eo:npanied on the piano. Immediately after which Mons.
