Those electors who have this day recorded their votes in favour of Lerd John Manners have taken advantage of the opportunity thus afforded to them to do all that in them lay to uphold the integrity of the British Constitution and the dignity of Parliamentary election. Tkey have declared among other things, by those votes, that they believe it to be an unfit and disrespectful answer to the Queen's writ to return to the llouse of Commons a Member legally disquali fied to sit there, who has already proved that disqualification by his own acts, and whose return, therefore, is nothing less than a milli. fication of the representation of the people, so far as that seat is concerned. Of the disadvantages of a contest carried on with the help of long previous organization on the one side and none at all on the other we need not speak. Ulterior proceedings must then show whether such an anomalous and un7recedented state of things as this election presents can be suffered to remain. On behalf of Lord John Manners' Committee.

By the operation of the same princip'es, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at Ms death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. A special meeting of this company was held on Mon day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of consider ing and approving of two Bills now before Parliament — me for authorising the amalgamation of the Norfolk Railway with the Eastern Counties, and the other to permit the Eastern Union Company to sell or lease their undertaking to the Eastern Counties Company, or to amalgamate. Mr. Anderson took the chair. Mr. RoNEY, the secretary, read the advertisement convening the meeting, and afterwards the side notes of the Norfolk Amalgamation Bill; during which he was interrupted several times, and eventually it was determined the whole of the Bill should be read throughout, containing forty-one clauses, which was read accordingly. The CHAIRMAN then moved that " the Bill be ap proved, subject to such alterations as Parliament may insert." s pa mt A D lL sec o o n nd m e o d v t i h n e g m an otio Mr. I m E A Nr c amendment,Mr. iL referred to a letter which he had received by Mr. Price from Mr. Till, the Secretary of the Norfolk Company, dated September 4, 1848, which stated that the capital of the Norfolk was 1,700,000/. It was now stated that 2,107,0001. had been expended, and he could not under stand how in so short a time the capital should be in creased 400,0001. He thought the matter should be in quired into before they gave their consent to the Bill, and would move an amendment that this meeting do ad journ for one month.—(Great applause.) Mr. PRICE seconded the amendment, and, in doing so, complained of the increased cost of the Norfolk from 1,300,0001. to '2,300,000/. He believed that 200,0001. or 300,0001. of it had been laid on for other purposes than those of the Norfolk Company; and that all the accounts submittedt to,the Committee of Investigation, with re spect to the question of amalgamation , had been " cooked."—(No, no.) He then read Mr. Till's letter, which stated, in reply to a qtiestion, that the capital ex pended in September, 1848, amounted to 1,708,2501.; the length of the line open was eighty-two miles; and the portion in course of construction was twelve miles in length. He declared that the only witness examined in favour of the Bill was Mr. Duncan, their late solicitor, who was now employed in promoting the Bill. Mr. KENNARD, a director, said it did not matter at all to him when the truth came out, whether first or last. He was deputy-chairman of the Northern and Eastern, and once held shares in the Norfolk Company, but as soon as he found that the interests of the Norfolk Com pany would clash with those of the Eastern Counties Company, both he and Mr. Anderson sold their Norfolk shares. He adverted to the apparent change of Mr. Meek's opinion with regard to the amalgamation ques tion, and quoted passages from a former speech of that gentleman, and also from a letter written by him in Sa turday's paper, stating that there was a difference of 25,000 L per annum between the accounts furnished to the committee and those made out by one of the directors. The chief discrepancy in the two accounts arose from the circumstance of charging the revenue with the interest which will be payable on the whole of the Norfolk ca pital when it is raised, instead of only charging the revenue with the cost of the finished portion of the line. This would account for the apparent discrepancy of the 25,0301., which had no right to be charged against the revenue of the last year. He then showed that the statements with regard to the Norfolk traffic were by no means fairly made out towards that company, and that a statement sent him by Mr. Price, respecting the Eastern Counties' receipts, perfectly agreed with his (Mr. Ken nard's) calculations with regard to the amalgamation — to the effect that if the traffic averaged 14,0004 per week, the Eastern Counties shares would be worth 41.; 15,0001. a week, 81,; 16,000/. a week, 121.; 18,000/. a week, 16/., and if they average 20,0001. per week, the shares would be worth 201. He was sorry that the Lowestoft was added to the Norfolk; but he felt satisfied that the amal gamation with the Norfolk would give them a perfect hold of the Eastern Counties' district. Mr. CASH explained that the amount mentioned by Mr. Price only referred to the Norfolk line proper, and did not include that of the Lowestoft Harbour and Railway. Mr. KENNARD contended that if they did not amalga mate with the Norfolk, the latter would not be trifled with, and would make a short line and convey their traffic over the Great Northern Railway to London, which would be a considerable advantage to the latter, and a great loss to the Eastern Counties. Mr. MEEK replied at soma length to the charges re specting the two accounts. There was clearly a dif ference of 25,757/. per annum between them, but he had no confidence in either of the accounts. There was no need of hastily d tiding on the amalgamation, because the Eastern Counties had leased the line under a work ing agreement for more than seven years. He com plained that he had received a proxy paper from the company's office soliciting his proxy, which he calcu lated would cost, if sent to every shareholder, 900/. He thought that individuals were not so patriotic as to pay for these proxies out of their private funds, and he de precated putting the company to such an expense. Ile concluded by moving " that the Bill be not approved, and that the meeting be adjourned to the 2d of August, next to receive the report of the committee on the anaal gam ation." Mr. EAST seconded the motion. Mr. RONEY, in reply to a question, stated, that all he knew about the proxies was that, on that morning week, he received a great many of them, printed officially, to be sent to the shareholders; but the Board of D.rectors had taken no part in it whatever. He had received let ters from shareholders asking for proxies to be issued by the company; and he had received letters from other shareholders complaining of having received them, A DIRECTOR said he would never permit the money of the company to be expended on proxies. Mr. CHRISTIE explained, that the proxies had been sent by a party of gentlemen holding stock to the amount of 200,0001. in the Eastern Counties Company, who are anxious that the amalgamation should take place, be lieving that it would be highly advantageous to the Eastern Counties Company. He had gone into the figures and accounts of the Eastern Counties with Mr. Glynn, and they were satisfied that if the low rates of tolls fixed by Parliament were revised, and good ma nagement adopted on the part of the directors, they would be enabled to earn a good dividend.—(Hear, hear.) The traffic on the railway only required to be carried on in a business manner to pay the proprietors. Mr. lows recommended the proprietors to adopt a middle course, to have no more committees of inquiry, but to select a board of directors as soon as possible; and concluded by moving an amendment to the effect that it was improper to proceed with any bills until a board of directors be appointed. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Ellis, Mr. Josiah Wilson, Mr. Kennard, Mr. Cash, Mr. Macphail, Mr. Fryar, and Mr. Box took part, it was agreed to wit i draw the amendments proposed by Mr. Hows and Mr. Macphail, in favour of Mr. Meek's amendment. The amendment proposed by Mr. Meek was then put to the meeting, and on a show of hands it was declared by the Chairman to be lost.—(Loud cries of " Shame, shame.") A poll was demanded. The original motion wai then put, and declared by the Chairman not to be carried. The CHAIRMAN then submitted the Bill for permitting the Eastern Union Company to amalgamate with the Eastern Counties Company at any future time, provided that three-fifths of the shareholders should give their assent to the amalgamation. Mr. RONEY read the marginal notes of the Bill, which contained 22 clauses. The CHAIRMAN stated that the Bill was merely a per missive one ; it did not bind th to amalgamate. Ile then moved a resolution to th em e etre - et that the Bill be approved" An amendment was then moved that the Bill be not approved, and on a show of hands the amendment was declared carried, and the original motion Wall lost. Mr. FIELD demanded a poll. The meeting was then adjourned to Tuesday at five o'clock, and atter a vote of thanks to the Chairman the meeting separated. ADJOURNED MEETING. The adjourned meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the scrutineers' report of the poll on the Bill for amalga mating with the Norfolk Company. Mr. Anderson was in the chair. The scrutineers reported as follows: — IN FAVOUR OF THE NORFOLK AMALGAMATION.

Forty rounds of blank cartridge were served out to each gun. The dismounted Artillery were formed into three battalions—the right under Lieutenant-Colonel Palmer, the left under Lieut.- Colonel Furneux, and the centre under Lieutenant- Colonel Warde; and at 10 o'clock they marched to the Common, the Royal Horse Artillery at full intervals, and formed in line from south to north of the ground. 400 men of the Royal Marine corps were stationed on the north, west, and south side of the common to keep the ground, and Capt. Mundy's, Capt. Crofton's, and Capt. Ormsby's companies of Royal Artillery, which joined the garrison on Saturday from Canada, kept the review ground, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Tomkyns, assisted by the Riding-house troop, under Captain Wingfield. Lieutenant-Colonel Ingilby, Lieu tenant Colonel Story, and the adjutants off duty were detached to attend upon Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., commandant of the garrison, who was accompanied by Brigade-Major Bingham, and Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quarter-master- General of Artillery, and Brigade-Major Walpole, R.E., and of the Royal Sappers and Miners. Shortly after eleven o'clock Field-Marshal the Marquis of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.8., and G.C.H., Master- General of the Ordnance, accompanied by Lieutenant- General Lord Viscount Hardinge, Major- General Sir Hew 1). Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant- General cf Artillery ; Major-General Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military Academy; and Major-General Fox, Surveyor of the Ordnance, arrived on the ground in uniform, and rode in front of the line, when the Master-General was received with the usual salute, the band playing the National Anthem. The Marquis of Anglesey and the Commandant, with the staff, proceeded to the right of the line, and rode down the front and up the rear of its entire leugth, the bands of the various branches of the Royal Artillery service playing as they passed. After a minute inspection of the troops the Field-Marshal arrived at the flagstaff of the Ordnance corps, where his Lordbhip was joined by Lieutenant-General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C.8., Military Secretary to the Cowman der-in-Coief, his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, K.G., Lieutenant-Colonel of the G loucester Yeomanry Cavalry; Colonel Campbell, Royal Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel the Earl of Cardigan, 11th or Prince Albert's Hussars; Lieutenant-Colonel ardinge, K. 11.; and Lieutenant- Colonel Prall, Royal Marines. At the rear of the flsg staff a number of carriages, from which the horses were taken, were drawn up, and the numerous fair occupants of them had an excellent view of the exercises and evolu tions during the review. Amongst the spectators pre sent were Lord Sidney, Lord Clarence Paget, the Ladies Paget, and a great number of ladies and gentlemen from the metropolis and various parts of the country. Major Thurlow and Captain Paget attended as Aides-de-Camp to the Master-General. The troops having formed into marching order, the Royal Horse Artillery walked past, and the battalions marched past at slow time, followed by the field batteries at a walk. The battalions then marched past at quick time, and the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries at a trot. The Royal Hone Artillery afterwards went past at full gallop, in excellent style. The troops having proceeded to the south side of the common, extending their line from east to west, the Royal Horse Artillery on the right of the battalions and the field batteries on the left, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman with his staff rude forward, and, the word of command being given, the Royal Horse Artillery advanced in front, and brought up at the north of t side of the common, covering the entire front of the e battalions, half a mile in advance, where they com menced firing. The field batteries having advanced a short distance, als o commence d fi r in g , while the R o y a l a andlion s commenced then advanced lfile-firing; n a lineg; one troop Horse Artillery we re re ti r i ng t o t a ke u p a ne w p os i t i on. batteries,. rh e b a t t Royal Horse Artillery, having passed through the centre, and two troops on the right of the battalions, they halted and again fired, the whole of the line keeping up a conti nued firing. The Roy - al Horse Artillery again advanced on the right, and the field batteries on the left, until consi derably in front of the battalions, when they fired, and returned in a similar manner as from the first advance. During the second advance of the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries the battalions formed into a line from south to north of the common, the right battalion retir ing on the centre, and the left advancing at the same time. The field batteries continued stationary and tiring, while one troop of the Royal Horse Artillery, by an echcllon movement, passed through the opening be twixt the let and 2d battalions, and up the rear to the right, while the two other troops galloped up to the same position in front in an incredibly short space of time. The whole of these manoeuvres were again repeated with excellent effect, the celerity of the movements of the Royal Horse Artillery and the steady and effective movements of the field batteries, with the admirable de plo) ing and regularity of the movements of the batta lions, affording ample evidence of their efficiency in the mounted and infantry exercises, which they performed on this occasion in a manner highly creditable to those who have taken such pains to render them perfect in their profession. At the conclusion of the firing the line was again formed from south to north, and Lieutenant-General Sir T. Downman and Colonel Cruts tendon having advanced in front, the Master-General rode up to the Gallant Commandant, and expressed how highly gratifi.d he was with all he had witnessed during the review, the steadiness and soldierlike appearance of the men under arms, and the superior manner in which they performed their evolutions. The whole of the troops then marched past, and the Royal Horse Artillery and field batteries returned to their barracks. The Ist battalion returned by the south-west gate, and extended from the ha-ha to the mortar battery, to keep the range clear. The 2d battalion returned by the blue gate and extended from the ha-ha to the mortar battery, to keep the range clear on the left. The 3d battalion returned by Sir H. D. Ross's house to the guard- mount ing parade, and sent two companies to keep a clear space round the mess room. By these excellent arrangements all the spectators—and there could not have been less than 20,000 present, had an excellent opportunity of witnessing the firing from the mortar and ho» itzer battery, the practice being excellent, and the object aimed at a flagstaff and ground-target 700 yards dis tant. After firing two rounds from each of the howit zers and two rounds from the mortars, the latter being a salvo consisting of one 13-inch, three 10 -inch, and three 8-inch shells, fired by Lieutenant-Colonel Wil liams's Company, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Macbean, with Captain Domville, Captain Law ranee, and Lieutenants Freer, Mowbray, Barstow, and Hardy, the Master-General, with the distinguished party accompanying him, proceeded to the mess-room and par took of an elegant dejeuner. The early part of the day was dull and threatened rain, but, with the exception of a few drops, which fell when the firing commenced, the spectators experienced only a profusion of dust, the wind blowing a strong breeze. After the carriages were drawn up near the flagstaff, the public were admitted to the inner circle, and allowed to stand in one unbroken line, which prevented the crowding and pushing which has often occurred on former occasions; indeed, throughout the entire day the Total ..• 21,003 'AGAINST THE NORFOLK AMALGAMATION.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT. DUBLIN, TUESDAY AfoßratiG.—The first official an nouncement of the approaching visit of her Majesty was made yesterday at a meeting of the corporation, the snbjoined communications having been read by the Town Clerk:— "Dublin Castle, June 30. "'My Lord,—l have thehonour to transmit herewith, by command of the Lord-Lieutenant, the enclosed copy of a letter rfceivA from S2cretary Sir George Grey, communicating her 2,lujesty's intention to visit Ireland. His Excellsncy has much ploasure in maling this an nouncement, which he f. els will be a source of gratifica tion to you and your fellow citizens. "I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obFdient servant, " T. N. REDINGTON. " The Right lion. the Lord Mayor." "' Whitehall, June 27. "My Lord,—l have the satisfaction to inform your Excellency, that I have received the Green's commands to acquaint you that her Majesty h,lies to bo able, in the course of the present summer, to fulfill the intention which you are aware she has long entertained of visiting Ireland. _ _ . . " The distress, unfortunately still prevalent in that country, precludes the Queen from visiting Dublin in state, as any large expenditure on mere ceremony would be ill-timed and inconvenient to lit r subjects. Yet her Majesty does not wish to let another year pass without visiting a part of her dominions with which she has for so long a time been anxious to become acquainted. " Her Majesty, therefore, proposes to embark in the Royal yacht, and to visit in the first instance the Cove of Cork, and thence to proceed along the Irish coast to Dublin. After remaining there for a taw days, during which time her Majesty will be the guest of your Excel lency, she will proceed along the Irish coast northward to visit Belfast, and thence cross to Scotland. Although the precise time of her Majesty's visit cannot yet be fixed, it will probably take place as early in August as the termination of the session of Parliament will permit, and I feel assured that this announcement of her inten tions will be received with great satisfaction by her Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects in Ireland. " I am, with great truth and regard, my Lord, your Excellency's obedient servant, G. GREY. His Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant,K.G.' " Mr. Reynolds, the Repeal Member for Dublin, in moving that the above letters be inserted in the minutes, threw out a hint to her Majesty's advisers, suggesting the policy of building a palace for the future reception of the Queen, either in the Phoenix-pack or in the ma rine suburbs of Kingstown or Dalkey. This he looked upon as a preliminary step towards the holding of trien nial Parliaments in Dublin; that is, if in the mean time they did not succeed in coaxing her Majesty to concede to her Irish subjects the privilege of legislating for them selves in the " Old Curiosity Shop" on Burgh•quay, or some other locality equally hallowed in the memory of the well-plucked citizens of Dublin. The proposition having been favourably entertained by other members of the worshipful body, the motion was pissed, with sundry protestations of a future oblivion of all creed and party distinctions; after which the Council proceeded to nominate a Lord Mayor for the ensuing yt ar, the candidates being Alderman Kinahan (Conservative), and Mr. John Reynolds, M.P. Their Honours then, in fulfilment of their promise to live henceforward in amicable brotherhood, having badgered each other to their heart.' content, and a division being called for, the Lord Mayor announced that Mr. Reynolds had been elected by a majority of 18. THE WEATHER.—Since yesterday evening, and up to this hour, the rain has fallen in torrents, and througtiout the night it blew a perfect hurricane from the west.

No. II THE CATTERPILLAR AND THE SILKWORM. A catterpillar met his neighbour— A useful silkworm—hard at labour ; When thus a conversation brief, Transpired upon a mulberry-leaf. " My service to you, brother worm, If I'm allowed so free a term ; You seem to have enough to do, You're alway's toiling—more fool you ; knd then allow mankbad to bilk Your honour's serviceable silk." " Nay," said the silkworm, " never mind, 'Tis my delight to serve mankind. Yes, sir, I'm proud that I can render My services to either gender. For gentlemen and ladies, too, Resort to me—you know they do. • I'm mere than proud, I must confess, That I'm connected thus with dress , And so would you be, Master Grub, Rad you the honour—there's the rub. I say again I'm proud to know That thousand patronise me so ; And while such multitudes admire What I contribute to attire, Your humble servant won't be slow In thus obliging—oh dear, no." APPLICATION. I heard, and thus began to muse : Such are the words that Moses' use. Moses and Son, whom thousands aid, Are like the silkworm in their trade. 'Tis Moses' :wide to sell attire, 'Which multitudes so much admire. Ladies and gentlemen each day Obtain from Moses' choice display, And Moses, like the silken worm. While thus the public seek their firm, Declare they never will be slow In serving those who aid them so. LIST OF PRICES.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—With a somewhat increased import during the past week, business on the whole has been very lifeless ; some portion of the arrival has been merely in transit, and the bulk of what offers on this market is priced at rates which buyers are not yet disposed to give, in fact the whole character of the trade is retail, and speculation is almost unknown. We have had, on the whole, seasonable weather, though more sun is now desirable. The probability is that harvest will be ten to fourteen dayslater than last year. There was but little life in to-day's market ; being moderately in stock, are not needy buyers, and hence hold back from complying with the advance demanded by both farmers and factors. The former sought a further advance of 2s to 3s per quarter to-day, and factors expected a full shilling, but no improvement could be established on last week's rates, indeed these were only maintained for picked samples. Spring corn has been in general improved request during the week, and to.day grinding barley makes is more money, while fine qualities are less sought after. Beans are also more in demand, and the stock on hand a good deal reduced. In oats, peas, rye, or Indian corn, we have but little doing. No alteration in the value of linseed, but the market very firm, which may also be said of cakes, both English and fere!gn, for present and for ward delivery. Nothing doing in rapeseed, and for rape cakes the demand is very slow. Irregular prices prevail for bones apportioned to the daily supply and demand, the season being all but over.

Oats and oat meal remained neglected and without change. Barley, beans, and peas, were in moderate request at late rates. There was some inquiry for Indian corn, but owing to the heavy arrivals a decline of Is 6d to 2s per quarter on yellow, and is per quarter on white was submitted to.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 3.—The royal mail steam-ship Tay, Captain C. al. Chapman, arrived this morning at six o'clock from the West Indies, with the usual mails. The latest dates brought by the Tay are—Chagres, May 30; Carthagena, June 1; Jamaica, June 9; De merara, June 6; Trinidad, June 7; Barbadoes, June 9; Crenada, June 7; St. Thomas, June 14; Fayal, June 26. The Tay also brings the Pacific mails, received at Chargres, from Panama, and brought thithtr by the Pacific Company's steam ship Peru : Valparaiso, April 28 ; Copiapo, May 2; Cobia, Atiy 4 ; Iquique, May 5 ; Aria, May 6 ; Islay, May 7 ; Callao, May 12, &c., &c. _ _ . Th , Tay brings on freight specie of the value cr. 270,000/. sterling, and consists in 1,334.325 dollars in gold and silver, 6504 ounces of gold dust; 1,710 i ounces of silver; 2,900 dollars in platina; 782/. 12s. British coin; 1,204 five franc pieces, and a general cargo, consisting of 401 serons of indigo, 131 bales of sarsparilla, 1 case of tortoiseshell, 16 barrels of ginger 4 barrels of arrowroot, 1 c.ise of cigars, 6 tierces of coffee, and 50 packages of sundries. Out of the above remittance are 300,000 dollars' worth of gold from California, shipped at Chegres, sorno of which is in very large lumps; but principally it is in dust and flakes. The barque Mary Elizabeth, of Liverpool, bound to Santa Martha, was reported to have been wrecked on the m Ining of the 14th of May on Punta Gallinas. The captain and crew proceeded on to Rio liashe, and but little of the cargo saved. • in Jamaica everything was still dull, and the papers are full of extracts from the London and American jour nals. There have been several shocks of earthquakes felt, but little or no damage had resulted from these alarming visitations. A tire, causing damage to 3,0001., had taken place at Montego Bay. Several meetings have been held against the slave trade and the manner in which treaties are carried out, and urging the home Government to use greater endeavours for suppressing the frightful traffic in slaves. The meeting was of all parties in politics, and attend , d by persons of the highest respectability. The House of Assembly had been further prurouged to the 19th June. At Porto Rico they now find the sugar crop will be under an average one, the canes not yielding so much juice as was expected. The West India Islands continue quiet, and the pros pect of the forthcoming crop good, that of Barbadoes expected to be above the usual average. Hayti still continues in a state of ferment, and people aro uctuclly starving in this fine climate, where any thing will grow. The Hay tiens have claimed a victory, but it is everywhere fully believed that they suffered a great defeat. Trade is nearly at a stand-still, and the meaeures of Government are crippling it further. (From the Jamaica Dispatch of June 9.) Nothing can exceed the prostration of this once noble colony. In its export of sugar it has fallen below Bar badoes, for its crop this year will hardly reach 30,000 hogsheads; and as the May seasons have failed us, the prospect for 1850 is very cheerless. Many more estates must go to decay, as, when the last hogshead for 1849 has been shipped (which it soon will be), there will be a long period without produce, and, consequently, but little induc , ment for capitalists to make advances in order to uphold a cultivation, of which the return!, both here and at home, are so questionable. The planting and mercantile interests are depressed beyond example; and a striking proof of the distress to which all classes have been reduced, is afforded by the projected emigration of a large body of our town tradesmen to the Mosquito shore in search of remunerative employment, which they cannot find here. Every one that can seems to abandon the sinking ship. Freights.—To London for sugar 31. to 31. 10s. Exchange on London.—Jamaica Bank, 90 days, per cent. pm.; Colonial Bank, 90 days, per cent. pm. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOUTH, JULY 2.—Her Majesty's brig Ranger, Commander Lucraft, went into Barnpool and had her compasses adjusted on Saturday. She was paid wages this morning, and will proceed this evening with malls for Madeira and the coast of Africa. The Myrtle steamer arrived from Portsmouth on Sa turday with seamen for her Majesty's ship Queen. The ship Tasman, of and from London, 564 tons, Captain J. 1). Blackbourne, which arrived here with 164 emigrants on the 28th ult., bound to Port Philip, has through sickness lost her chief officer in the Downs. and her steward in the Channel. The day after her arrival a woman and child died, and on Sunday morning she lost a male emigrant. In consequence of these casualties, Mr. tlurdoch, the chairman of the Emigration Board, now on an official visit here, Mr. Rogers, a member of the board, and Lieutenant Carew, R.N., her Majes t y' s re:dclent emigration officer , consulted together id . d termined on the trans shipment of all the td.mre now the Tasman to her Majesty's hulk.

He thought, however, they would agree with him that he had a hopeful family.— (Cheers and laughter.) He was sure they all deserved the kind expressions which the company had been pleased to pay them; for himself, he could only say that he had made it his study, during the whole time he had been on the Bench, to endeavour to discharge his duty; and if, in doing that, he received the applause and ap probation of his fellow-countrymen, nobody could be more gratified than he was.—(Loud cheers.) Several other appropriate toasts were drunk, and the company did not separate till a late hour. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—Oe Monday the 2nd was th- motion of the Mem ber for Buckinghamshire on the state of the nutian; the object being to show that it was " a falling nation," through a multiplicity of causes, of which the principal was the freedom of trade. After striking off figures of rhetoric: the main and indeed almost the only argument in the speech by which the motion was introduced, was founded on the facts, th it the exports showed a larger quantity of goods exported, while the values attached to them were less. And thi s re d uct i on i n pr i ces the mover unceremoniously stated, as evidence of an equa l amoun t struck off from the receipts of the working classes. So that the argument of the landowners is this:—Allow us to lay a tax upon your workmen's food, and .then you shall sell your goods dearer as needs you must, and the difference you shall set down as gain. Your workmen too, shall carry the amount of the bread-tax to our shops, and when they give it in they shall make a bow and say, " Thank you, gentlemen, for this increase to our wages." The manufacturers are not to find out that they sell less when the prices are raised by the bread-tax, and more when it is removed; and the workmen are not to find out that they have less employ ment and consequently less substantial wages in one case, and more in the other; but both are to be dazzled by the glory of carrying un additional threepence in the shil ling to the corn-grower for bread, and are to believe that practically they have eaten and enjoyed the value. Such " unmitigated nonsense," to borrow a phrase from the mover in his energetic moments, do the supporters of Protection now stand upon, and with such a stock in trade do they present themselves before the public. It is fortunate that the country has had such substan tial doses of common sense from the League in its day, as to be in little danger from the figures either of rhetoric or of arithmetic thus put forward by the League's suc cessors on the boards. The Chancellor of the Exchequer made a reply which demolished in detail the position of the assailant; and the debate was finally adjourned. On Tuesd ty the Member for Nottingham moved his Resolutions for what is denominated the People's Charter. There was not much about the Resolutions which was calculated to invite adherents, and the mover himself seemed hardly to know whether he supported them all or not. The Member for Cambridge was diffuse upon what he called " extreme democracy," and the phrase was taken up by the Government; the fallacy about the whole being that the thing called extreme de mocracy was avowedly something which was to be co existent with a powerful monarchy and a powerful aristocracy. So that the demand for what was called extreme democracy, amounted at most to no more than a man's asking to have his own corner, when there were to be three in a post-chaise. Suppose the popular party were to raise an outcry of " extreme aristocracy" be cause there is no mixture of commoners in the House of Lords, or of "extreme monarchy" because there is not a Mechanics Institute joined in Commission with the Crown;—what extr..me simpletons they would be considered! The division amounted to tolerable proof of the necessity there is for giving the people more p9wer in the People's House ; consisting only of 13 against 222. But it must not be forgotten, that the debate drew from the Prime Minister an abne• gation of the delarations attributed to him on the sub ject of finality, and a pretty distinct admission that the suffrage, before long, must in one way or other be ex tended. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, July 4, 1849. THE PUNJAUB WAR MEDAL. By the last mail we have received the following extract from the order of the Governor-General of the 2d of April, respecting the medal to be given to the army of the Pun jaub " In anticipation of the wishes of the Honourable Court of Directors, the Governor. General will grant to every officer and soldier who has been employed within the Puujaub in this campaign, to the date of the occupation of Peshawur, a medal bearing the word Punjaub,' in commemoration of the honourable service they have done. " The Governor-General is also pleased to direct that every corps which has been so employed shall bear the same word on their standards and appointments." This general order, which bestows the medal on all the troops employed within the Punjaub during the campaign, whether actually engaged in the different actions or not, has induced the Commander-in-Chief to apply to the Governor- General to ascertain whether it was his Lorthhip's intention that all the troops in garrison beyond the Sutlej, including the Jullundur, are to receive the distinction, or what particu lar troops are to be entitled to it. The Commander-in-Chief also suggested, with the greatest deference, that the medal granted for the campaign should be inscribed on the shield with the word " Punjaub," as ordered by the Governor-Ge neral, but with separate bars (like the Peninsular medals, and those ordered by Lord llardinge for the campaign of the Sutlej), to be exclusively for those officers and men who were actually engaged in the four actions of the war, viz., " Mooltan," " the passage of the Chenab" (i. e. Rainnuggur and Sadoollapore), " Chil lianwallah," and " Goojerat." Lord Gough also expressed his conviction that the medal In the recent campaign would not be prized as his Lordship wished it to be, if those who were not present at any of the engagements are to wear the identical decoration granted to officers and men who had par taken of the dangers and glory of such actions as the siege and conquest of Moultan, the passage of the Chenab, the fierce and deadly struggle ofChillianwallah, and the victory of Goojerat ; and recommended that those troops not actually engaged in those actions should be rewarded with the plain medal, which he considered would be a t o v L er o y rd fi t G ti o n u g gh d s ec f o e r e a li t n io g n s . actions xpre s v s e h should be be highly gratd, t w ha h t il e those it w would of their r h e a w d a f r O d u e g a h N, t i h th ra a ve d ly ec a o n ra d ti d o e n v i o r t Ul ed ic ly ati i v n e t a h t o ld se e distinguished service. The distinction which Lord Gough Lis thus to make is so equitable, that we sincerely hope his lordship's suggestions will be attended to. DEATII OE LIEUT.-COLONEL ENGLISH. —This gallant officer was in the enjoyment of excellent health, and most zealous in the performance of his duties as Commanding-officer of the Royal Engineers and Royal Sappers and Miners at Woolwich, and as a member of the Select Committee, until his attendance in the latter capacity at the Royal Arsenal on the 16th of May, to witness the experiment of firing at a two-gun battery to ascertain the power of the material of which it was com posed. Unfortunately ono of the fragments, displaced with great violence by the concussion of the shot, struck the Lieutenant-Colonel in the arm, tearing the sleeve of his coat, and making what at first appeared to be only a flesh wound, but a subsequent examination showed that the bone of the arm had been fractud. The Lieutenant-Colonel was immediate l y taken horeme, and, under medical care, was gradually recovering, when he experienced a paralytic stroke, from which he never recovered. Lieutenant - Colone l English succeeded the late Colonel Sir George Ifoste, in command of the en gineering department at Woolwich, and was greatly es ieeuut e te n n a a n n t t He had seen teemed for his urbanity and abilities. was , promoted to Lieutenant, T" i con siderable service in the Pen i nsu la sl d sz u ls3 r s i ; n e g caori t nd h d a L. t long pro = September 8, 1807, tract , ed war.

MoNEv .DJARICET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 11 i per i nille,which, at the English Mint r . f / p ice o 3 . 17s. ioAd. per ounce for standard gold,gives e h f 25:44; and the exchange at Paris on London anex short angeo . at being 25.421, it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ilamburgh the pricy of gold is 438 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives au exchange of 13.111; and the exchange at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13.11, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Ilamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 par cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. ro f the [ADVERTISEMENT.] —An incontestable proo. iiinti. efficacy of Holloway's Pills for the Cure o e f L!,ver Cm.',9 , 'Sy 1 had outb a ea, —Mr. Robert Elkins, of Campbeltovvn, N w s . , e vere liver complaint been afflicted for several months with a which reduced him to so low a state, t h a t he was compelled to take to his bed; finding no relie vf fro olloway's m an lls y of the medical ai whi h c d h e received, he was advise d to gie H Pi a tl, he did, and this invaluable medicine (the instruction given with it being strictly followed) in the course of a few weeks re-estab. lished him in the enjoyment of as good health as ever he pas i his life.—So ld b y all Medicine Vendors throug hout seased n the world, and at Professor Hollowa Establishment, 244, Strand, Lender'. _1
