ThQre is no thing, however, at all new or striking in their remarks. France will not ratify the Right of Search Treaty. The words of M. Guizot, as reported in 'the Mon iteur, were—" In the present state of things, and the actual disposition of the public mind, I should deem myself wanting in my duty towards the.country, were I to ad vise the ratification of the treaty."

The Tory Town-council met on Tuesday, and agreed to a petition to the House of Commons praying that the above measure might be averted. Ipswich is in an equally excited state. Mr. Wason is down, and much discussion is going on as to candidates on both sides. The Liberals, confident in their strength, object to a - compromise on the issue of the writ of "one and one ;" and they do not relish bargains for settlement of old accounts and election expenses. Mr. George Rennie, one of the unseated members, has published an address, explanatory of facts connected with the recent petition contest. NAVAL. AND MILITARY. At the annual meeting of the supporters of the Sailors' Home yesterday, held in the Hanover•square Rooms, the Report stated the total income for the last year to have been 6,3121.; the expenditure had been about 5,6681., leaving a balance of 6441. Captain Bazalgette stated, that `• the greatest enemies to the institution were the Jew crimps at the east end of the town. The name of home was one dear to Englishmen. How great was the enthusiasm of our brave seamen on returning from a long voyage, and yet how few of them had a home to come to when they had returned. He had known an instance in which one man received 200 L pay on his return, and another 1801., and yet on the next day neither of them had a shilling in his possession." THEATRICAL.

A powder-factory, belonging to Messrs. Barton, near Tonbridge, Kent, exploded on Monday evening last, and was blown to pieces. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. QUARTER TO THREE. The money market is in a heavy state, and various rumours are afloat of the probability that the tariff would not be carried so easily as had been expected. Scarcely a speculation bargain has been made during the day, and prices, especially for Exche quer Bills, are lower. Consols are 924 for Money, and 924 for the Account; Three per Cents. Reduced 914 ; Three-and-a- Half per Cents. Reduced 994; New Three-and-a -Half per Cents. 1004 ; Bank Stock, 1674 ; India Stock, 249 250 ; India Bonds, 19 21 ; and Exchequer Bills, 34 37 prem. Dutch and Brazilian Bonds are the only Foreign Securities which have attracted attention to-day, and the prices are for the latter 674 ; and the former, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 524 53 ; the Five per Cents., 1004. The quotation of Mexican is rather lower, being 364. In the Share Market, York and North Midland have been sold at 934 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 28 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 54 ; Great Western, New, 644 , Fifths, 94 ; Cheltenham and Great Western, 21 ; Eastern Counties, 41.

The Bonds of the insolvent States are quoted—Colombian, 264 ; and Spanish Five per Cents. and three per Cents. 224. modemPrtuguese tarn not named, neither has the usual bargain been Peruvian to-day. Efforts are still being made on the Cplonial market to obtain a further reduction in the duty on coffee. A memorial is about to be sent to the Board of Trade, praying that the duty on the article from British plantations may be charged at three pence per pound, and from foreign , possessions sixpence. A new feature in the trade is developed in this petition, that chicory can be so pressed as to resemble the coffee berry suffi ciently close, as to deceive dealers themselves, and it is con tended therein that if the rates be made as suggested the consumption for the spurious article will cease. Some calculations are made to meet the question of revenue, by which it is shown that no further loss will be sustained than that assumed by Sir Robert Peel, namely, 170,0001. The amount is thus arrived at-18,000,000 lbs. British Plantation Coffee, at 3d. per lb„ 225,000/. ; 19,000,000 Foreign, at 6d., 475,0001., which, with the extra 5 per cent. will make a total of 750,000/., while the revenue in 1840 was 921,5511. If these deductions be correct, and they have every appearance of being so, superseding Chic cory will be a great benefit to the consumer. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. RAILWAYS. Paid. Per Share.

Thomas Madden, a genteel looking youth, who has been some days in custody, charged with being engaged in begging letter writing, was committed to the House of Correction for two montns. Three boys, named Jerry, Williams, and Stanley, termed "mud larks," were charged with stealing Goals from a barge at the river side. The prisoners were described as belonging •to a gang of juvenile thieves, who are in the habit of robbing the barges alongside the wharfs at the river side. They were observed on board the " Union " barge, hastily engaged in filling their bags with coals, and when they were discovered, they jumped into the river, being swimmers, and tried to escape, but were fol lowed in a boat and captured. They were committed for two months each. WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Henry, who stated that he was a druggist's assis tant out of employment, was charged with having committed the following fraud : A young man named Frederick Francis, stated that the prisoner called upon him, and induced him to purchase a duplicate relating to some articles of wearing apparel that were pledged at a pawnbroker's in Kingsland-road. He gave 6s. for the duplicate, but on calling to redeem the articles, he found that the prisoner had been there before him, and had obtained them on the faith of a false declaration that he had lost the duplicate. He gave information of the circumstance to a policeman who took the prisoner into custody. In his defence the prisoner admitted the charge, and threw himself on the clemency of the Court. Mr. BiNcHam said that it was a very serious charge, as it combined the two offences of perjury and fraud, and he should take time to consider how he should dispose of it. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday. Chartism is born of a defeated hope, of disappoint ment of the fruits of the Reform Act ; it has been fos tered by the selfish spirit of Mammon—by a sordid, re morseless contempt of the inalienable rights of humanity. The vice of the age is a want of sympathy with the con dition of the great mass of the people. They are looked upon as the mere instruments of wealth—the mere ma chines with eyes to direct them, and limbs to labour for the privileged classes ; whose money-bags are to them as the Great Wall of China, shutting them out from the barbarian poor. In England, the test ola man's social worth is to be found only at his banker's. Property is the Mumbo Jumbo of high-minded, intelligent John Bull. He execrates the Pope, and sends out MisSionaries (cer tainly not " warranted to stand the climate") to plant what shall be future Bishoprics on the banks of the Niger,—but he makes up for his contempt offorpign idols, by his frequent genuflexions to the money-god he has at home. By the clamour . that some politicians make for the exc'usive rights of property, one would almost think— did not the existence of fashionable ac coucheurs (" for," as Lampedo says, " man-midwife is grown vulgar") refute the idea—that your men of pro perty were coined in the Mint like sovereigns, and were therefore destitute of that plebeian humanity working in, and operating upon, the poorer creatures of clay—the moving mud and soil of the social throng.—Punch. SHOVEL HATS IN SCOTLAND.—The following para graph, under the heading of " Reformed Catholic Church," appears in the Edinburgh Observer, which gives it on the authority of a correspondent :—" The annual meet ing of the synod of the United Diocese of Dunkeld. Dumblane, and Fife, will be held this year, at Kirk aldy, on Wednesday the 15th day of June next, when matters of considerable importance to the particular in terests of the Diocese, and to the general welfare of tht Reformed Catholic Church in Scotland, are expected to come before it. Among others, will be a proposal for a change in the style and title of the United Diocese ; for a revival of the office of Archdeacon, chiefly with a view to that functionary's exercising a surveillance over, the temporal condition of churches or chapels, throughout the Diocese, from year to year ; and for an authorised and unanimous assumption, on the part of the Dean and clergy, of the ordinary clerical dress,—the latter em bracing the shovel hat, single breasted coat, and short cassock."— Glasgow Saturday Post. We find the following in the Constitutionnel. Our contemporary is surely growing waggish :—" A certain number of ladies have just formed themselves into a committee to exercise a direct influence on the approach ing elections. They have chosen for their agent M. Desplantades, No. 13, Rue Traversiere St. Honore, who assumes . the title of expert verificateur des annonces dans les journaux—a modest employment, which he unites to that of political reformer. These ladies complain, through M. Desplantades, of the diminution of physical and moral qualities of the present race of Deputies, who have, for the most part, grey hair, and cannot show the slightest energy in the accomplishment of their duty. In consequence, they propose to the electoral colleges not to re-elect a single one of them, not even M. Pedre Laeaze, M. Vigier, and M. Galos, whose black hair might excite their sympathy. The committee of these female re formers invites provincial ladies to send, as soon as possible, to the above address, a list of eligible persons in their departments, 'aged,' says the circular, from 30 to 36, well-made, bachelors, men of probity, and disen gaged.' fhey will then take measures to assure the elections of those young representatives. .The ladies do not explain the means which they intend employing, but they appear certain of success. This Committee,' add these ladies, created for the reform of the Chamber of Deputies, shall be composed, at Paris, of ladies of the greatest distinction, and quite capable of keeping up a correspondence.' " THE PRICE OF CATTLE.—The price of cattle and sheep is rising as rapidly as it declined. There was a large supply at the Liverpool market yesterday, but still the prices were very high. We stated a fortnight ago that the decline was the consequence of a mere panic, and that it would not continue.—Liverpool Times. About a month ago, says the Courrier de Lyon, a little girl was bitten by a mad dog. Mer father tried to save her, but he was also attacked and bitten. The girl died soon after of hydrophobia, and a few days back the father died of the same disease. The Moniteur states that the Procureur du Roi and the Juge d'lnstruction of Versailles commenced their inquiry into the causes of the deplorable accident on Sunday, tke Bth, on Monday, the following day, and did not delay it, as asserted by several journals, till Wed nesday. The official journal adds, that this inquest i. sufficiently advanced to be annexed to that taken by the authorities of Paris, with equal promptitude and perse verance. As soon as these are completed by report: from men of science and others capable of elucidating the matter, the whole affair will be brought before tin Tribunal of the Seine, within whose jurisdiction the parties to whom blame may be imputed are resident. The Rouen journals publish the following instance of honesty. A poor woman, of the hamlet of Bretagne, with five children, supporting herselfand them by hei lab Out in a factory, found on the 14th inst., a pocket book, containing . 4,500 f. in bank notes and commercial bills, which she immediately deposited in the hands of the commissary of police. . STEAM NAVIGATION ON THE THAMES.—There are now 15 steam-vessels working daily between Gravesend and London, the same number to Woolwich, 20 to Greenwich, numerous small steamers, the boats of the Watermen's Com pany, and of the Old Woolwich Company, between Greenwich and Blackwall ; there are eight steam-vessels constantly going up and down the river on their way to and from Dover, Rams gate, Margate, Herne Bay, Southend, and Sheerness. The General. Steam Navigation Company muster 49 first-class steamers, a fleet superior to the steam fleet of any of the con tinental powers, and which carry merchandise and property to the amount of a million sterling weekly, and whose con sumption of coals exceeds in value 50,0001. per annum. There are not less than 50 other large steamers trading between London and various parts in Great Britain and Ireland, 23 steam-tugs, varying from 30 to 100 horses power each, exclusively engaged in towing ships between Gravesend and the Pool, 20 iron and wooden steamers navigat ing the river above bridge, between London. bridge and Chel sea, two constantly running between the Adelphi pier and Putney, and five to Richmond. This is a vast amount of steam-power unequalled upon any river in the world. There is never less at any one time than 5,000 persons afloat in the steamers during the summer season on the river Thames. Among the novelties lately introduced in steam navigation is a vessel with locomotive engines, similar to those on a railway, working at a high pressure, and the Waterman, No. 7, with Steven's patent paddles, which enter the water at an angle of 35, produce very little swell, avoid the back water thrown up by the ordinary paddles, and produce litt:e vibration. With two or three exceptions, the steam-engines in our river vessels are worked at a low pressure, hence explosions are never heard of. FIRE AT HAMBURGIL—Mr. Cohen, cigar-manufac turer at Hamburgh, requests us to contradict the statement which has appeared in most of the papers, that the fire broke out on his premises. He informs us that he has satisfactorily proved to the civic authorities of Hamburgh, by the evidence of the Chief Commissioner of Police, that the fire did not reach his house till full half an hour after it had broken out. A meeting of a remarkable character took place on Sunday last at Dunkerrin, a village which is situate on the borders of Tipperary and King's counties. It appears that lat terly spies and incendiaries, known by the appellation of " Paddy APKews," have been actively at work in that part of the country, to induce the peasantry to abandon the temperance system, and become members of secret and illegal confedera cies. Thirty thousand of the teetotallers attended on that day, when the Rev. Dr. Nolan protested violently against these secret proceedings, and advised them to surrender up all fire arms if they possessed any. several persons came forward, acknowledging the facts, and solemnly expressing contrition. • THE SUFFERERS at HAMBURGH. MEETING.—(THIS DAY.) A public meeting of the merchants, bankers, and traders of the City of London was this day held at the • Egyptian Hall in the Mansibn-house, for the pUrpose of considering the propriety of adopting measures to relieve the unfortunate sufferon-i, by the late dreadful conflagra tion' at Ilainburg,ll. • The meeting %vas advertised t o . t a k e place-- at one o'clock precisely, but the Hall was well filled before that hour. Among the company present we observed Sir Moses Montefiore, Mr. D. Salomons, 11fr. Colquhoun, the Consul for the Manse Towns, Mr. Baring, and seve ral other gentlemel of the.highest respectability. . The Right lion. the Lord MAYOR took the Chair soon after one o'clock. His L3RDSLIIP stated that he had been waited on by a deputation from the merchants and bankers of the City of London, requesting - .him to assist the efforte., they were making for the relief of the, & ,tan- ' fortunate sufferers from th e l ate d rea df u l con fl a gration at Hamburgh. He had not hesitated to comply with their request by granting th em t h e use o f silie hall, and by occupying the chair. They tright*ltsily have pro cured a gentleman better qualifietrto discharge the duties of Chairman, but they cola find no one who, sym pathised more with the suffvings of the unfortunate Hamburghers, or who tools a deeper interest in the Christian and charitable course for the furtherance of which they were assembled together. He would not detain them longer, but would give way to those who would give a detailed account of the dreadful calamity, and he doubted ,nbt but that his fellow-citizens would respond to the.call made on their humanity for the re lief of the distressed.—(Cheers.) Mr. COLQUHOUN, the Consul for the Hanse Towns, would, take the liberty of reading an official dispatch which he had received from the Syndic Secretary of State for Hamburgh, narrating the circumstances - attending the dreadful calamity, which could only be compared to the fire of London, or the earth quake at Lisbon. (The. Honourable Gentleman then read the dispatch of the Secretary of State, giving a detailed account of the circumstances attending the late awful calamity. The letter expressed the gratitude of the Senate and authorities to the British Civil Engineers for their exertions in stopping the . confla g ration.) Among the subscribers to the Hamburgh Fund were— Her Majesty, 2001 ; Prince Albert, 1001. ; the Queen Dowager, 1501. Large stuns had also been subscribed by public bodies, and 20,0001. had been remitted to Hamburgh, for the relief of the sufferers. The British Government had also kindly come forward, and from the public stores had sent out a supply of blankets and bedding for the unfortunate Haiuourghers. It• ought also to be stated that the British Steam Naviga don Company had generously conveyed this re lief to Hamburgh free of expense. There was one subject to which he wished particularly to refer, namely, the maltreatment of the British sub jects who had rendered assistance during the efforts made to extinguish the conflagration. The reports on this score were greatly exaggerated, none of the British residents were either wounded or killed. The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter from the Syndic Secre tary of State to the British Charge d'Affaires, thanking Messrs. Findley, Giles, and Thompson for their exer tions in endeavouring to mitigate the horrors of the cala mity which had befallen the Hamburghers. In the let ter the Syndic stated that he was authorised to an ticipate a public testimonial to those gentlemen. Mr. C. went on to say that the population of Hamburgh aumbered 150,000 persons, of whom one-fifth were now homeless. The number of houses amounted to 10,000, of which 2,000 were destroyed. The English residents numbered about 8,000, and of those many had suffered severely from the conflagration. The value of the property destroyed amounted to 7,000,0001.; the houses constituted 3,000,0001. of that amount. The Hon. Member con cluded by stating that among the many motives that should incite the people of England to render every aid to the people of Hamburgh, was the fact of their having 1 common origin —sprung as they both were from the ancient Saxons. T. BARING, Esq., said, the statement they had just heard read by the gentleman who so ably represented the llanse Towns in this country, had told the tale of distress so clearly and persuasively, that he should have ben willing to leave the case in his hands, and not risk the weakening of its effect by any observations of his own, did he not feel a melancholy satisfaction in expressing his concurrence in the opinion, that there had never been a case possessing more claims on the charity of the British public, than the late awful calamity, with which it had pleased Divine Providence to visit the city of Hamburgh. flie, very fact that one-fifth of the city had been de. stroyed—that two thousand houses had been burned to ishes—that property to the amount of six millions had been annihilated—and that 30,000 persons, out of a popu lation of 150,000, were deprived of their employment, of their homes, of their means of existence, of the ne2es • ,cries of life, and even of shelter, spoke volumes to those who had the means of affording aid to this suffer- ing community.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Let them recollect that Hamburgh, as ITamburgh alone, de pended legally and constitutionally on its own population. It had no powerful Government or empire to fall back on; there were no great sources of prosperity of this kind to come in aid of those who had suffered from the calamity.—(Hear.) They had therefore a legi imate right to look for aid from the foreign countries of Europe. The citizens were active in relieving their own population, but the calamity fell on them suddenly ; it sent no shadow of its coming before it, and consequently, though the poor suffered the most from being deprived of everything, yet it also cramped the resources of the rich, And paralysed their commerce, thus rendering them de pendent on foreign aid for support. This was a case in which their aid would have an instantaneous influence. Hamburgh was at their very door, and the subscription of this day would be supporting the inhabitants by Tues- Jay next.—(Hear, hear.) The Committee appointed by .he Senate, and the Committee here, took every care that the funds were properly administered. Let them not say that they could not extend their aid to these sufferers, because their own population were destitute also. God forbid that one penny should be withheld from their own poor, but let them not with hold their charity under the plausible pretext that they wished to give it to others. Those the most ready to relieve their own poor, were those whose hearts were most ready to expand at the tale of suffering wherever found. He thought the subscription, so increased, would have a claim upon their fellow -countrymen of all descriptions throughout the kingdom. They would find that the cause of charity would be properly appreciated by our Hamburgh connexions—for connected they had been by commerce—and it was the proudest duty of commerce to increase the feeling of goodwill and friendship throughout the world. Commerce had a prouder object and a nobler aim than merely increasing national wealth —it had a prouder task, that of fLstering and maturing these sentiments of sympathy, o f b enevo l e nce, and fel - . . lows Lip which were as extended in their application as they were generous in their origin. He (Mr. Baring) ror one could not doubt but this call would be responded to, when he found that it was heade&by Royal munifi cence—when the Government of the country had con tributed to this bbject—and when he saw that meeting presided over by the head of the first commercial city in the world—that First Magistrate who was always fore most in the objects of charity, and he did not doubt that their example would be followed by the whole country. Re• (Mr. Baring) begged to propose the following reso lution:— That this meeting has heard with unfeigned sorrow the afflicting intelligence of the late disastrous conflagration at Hamburgh, a city connected from the earliest period in com mercial relations with Great Britain, by which so large a por tion of the town has been reduced to ashes, heavy 'losses sus tained, and some thousands of human beings reduced to a state of destitution." Mr. M. ATTWOOD rose to second the resolution. He as reed with the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down saying that after the statement of the facts which had eon made by Mr. Colquhoun, he did not think it was necessary to make any further appeal to the benevolence of the citizens of London for the purpose of reliev ing the inhabitants of Hamburgh from the effects of that calamity which had visited them. But it was necessary that from that meeting and from the coun ry there should be conveyed to Hamburgh an expres ,ion of sympathy, in the strongest manner showing them that they appreciated the friendly relations which have for so long a period existed between their country and our own,. and- us we benefited by the connexion, to sonic extent, in their prosperity, so in the hour of their distress, they would find in us friends ready to assist them, and to combine with them in relieving those sufferings with which they might be visited—for a visitation more awful than the late conflagration, arriv ing suddenly as it did, could scarcely be imagined, and anything more appalling or more disastrous could not be conveyed to the imagination. Con ceive . that great city delivered for three days and tspride and in its three nights to the fury of the .conflagration. Conceive what must have been its effects in the very heart of the imagine the painful inust now pre sent the expres sion teintndyt,atificooitnchtsoilnisugeliwsnpgheocitotasne once spectacle S wb t parts, ehhieclhd ita Hamburgh.ni nd grandeur.—(Hear, hear.) He could congratulate the first opportunity of Hamburgh. They had proved that their sympathy . . was not confined to barren expressions, but had given solid insioenetinagththeairt sympathyt 11 e resolu tiv with h it t e he held sufferersconv e y proofs of their of affording t benevolence which the a st s n si e s s t s a , n b e y e. tak T i h ng e t r b r e onap. afforded excited the most unanimous and enthusiastic feel e their a r ne ings which such conduct was calculated to produce. This assistance would also have the effect of rousing the people of Hamburgh themselves, to restore the town, when they saw the prompt, noble, a nd liberal cond uct wh i ch was manifested in their behalf in every part of the world..- (Hear, hear.) Their object now was to raise subscrip tions, and to reduce to a regular and formal system that benevolence which had been so promptly afforded to the people of Hamburgh. He trusted the reasons of their countrymen resident in Hamburgh, which they put for ward in their address would actuate them in their be- nevolence. They called on you to relieve the distress of a city so long united by the closest and strongest ties of mutual interest with .Great Britai n , and whi c h had been deservedly famed for. its charity and hospitality. That was the address of their fellow -countrymen, and that was the character which Ilamburgh always enjoyed; and never was there an occasion more appropriate for exhi of Hamburgh, the importance a b n i t(iing showing their friendship h y t o Lt e l l y e v p a e l o u i: e which they attached to the connectio n which subsisted between them.—(Hear, hear.) He had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, and would conclude by ex pressing his confidence that the result of the exertions if this country would be worthy the character which Great Britain always maintained for her readiness to relieve the distresses of others.—(Cheers.) The resolution was then put, and carried unanimously. Mr. SMITH would not, after the . touching details o f the calamity to which they had listened, enter at large into the question. He yielded, however, to no man in sympathy for the sufferers, and he cordially concurred in every word that had fallen from the Gentleman who had preceded him. In no city had the British expe rienced greater hospitality than - in Hamburgh. Of no city , could it more emphatically be said that " her merchants were princes." It was their duty to come forward to the relief of such a copulation as this, suffering from no fault of their own ; and he was happy to find that Hull and other places were coaling to the relief of Hamburgh, as well as the inhabitants of the metropolis; and he was happy in thinking that their exertions would giie an opportunity to this suffering people to rebuild their devastated homes and ruined altars. He hoped to:see the day when. Hamburgh, should rise from her ashes, embellished as London had risen in 1666. He begged to propose the following resolution:— - "That . the uniform liberality and hospitality of th e p eo pl e o f Ilamburgh towards British subjects visiting that city, entitle the inhabitants, suffering from the recent calamity, to the peen tier and greatest sympathy and consideration of the British public. Mr. JONES LLOYD seconded the resolution. No appeal more eloquent could be made to their feelings on such an occasion than a plain and simple statement of the circumstances of the case. No eloquence could be so fbrcible as the contemplation of their unfortunate suffering, from no fault of their own ; and never could that eloquence be heard in more com manding tones, than when it came from the burning ruins of a mighty city, filled by a population devoted to pursuits similar to our own.—(Cheers.) The effect of that eloquence had been exemplified by the recent con duct of the City of London. Before time had been given for reflection on the appalling account which had reached us—before it had been known even that the conflagra tion had been stayed—before a meeting could be orga nised, or resolutions formed, subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers had been entered into by the mer cantile and , trading classes of the City, valu able from its actual amount, more valuable still from the feelings of sympathy w hi c h it mani fested.—(Cheers.) The present meeting had by this been precluded from having the honour of having originated this noble effort, but they had the satisfaction, scarcely less gratifying, of declaring their cordial con currence in what had already been done, and their trust that what had been so well and nobly begun would be continued to an effective consummation. The LORD MAYOR then put the resolution.—Carried unanimously. Mr. HEATH, the Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England, felt great satisfaction in moving the third resolu tion. After the eloquent observations which had been made by the gentleman who had last addressed the meeting, it was unnecessary for him (Mr. H.) to dwell upon the particulars of the awful calamity which Was the cause of their assembling on the present occasion. The muni ficent example so promptly set by her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Queen Dowager would, he had no doubt, be followed up by the country at large. It was there fore, with great pleasure that he moved the resolution intrusted to him . " That the gratitude and thanks of this meeting are justlj due, and are hereby dutifully tendered, to her Majesty the Queen, to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and to her Ma - I jesty the Queen Dowager, for their gracious and unsolicited sanction and assistance on this occasion." Mr. JOSEPH JOHN GURNEY seconded the resolution. He observed that the example now set was worthy of ' this great metropolis. Had it even been a city totally unconnected with London, the merchants of this city would have responded to the call of charity ,• but in the present instance there was a strong claim upon their sympathy, inasmuch as Hamburgh was a, city with which we carried on daily intercourse, and from which we derived much of our comfort and wealth. The exercise of sympathy for which this calamity fur • nished an opportunity to the principal nations of Europe, would, he trusted, tend to preserve the bond of friend ship among those nations, and thereby that general peace which was essential to the well-being of the world. The resolution was then put and carried. J. RAE REID, Esq., moved the next resolution. He thought he should best discharge his duty by not en croaching on their time, but by shortly reading an ex tract from a letter he had received from Hamburgh butone hour before the meeting took place; it was dated May 17, r and stated that throughout the city the inhabitants " seemed overwhelmed with the kind, the more than kind, the truly noble expression of sympathy on the part of the merchants and bankers of London. Every exertion that can be made will be made, but it is impos sible that any words of mine can describe the misery and distress that now prevail. They are beyond de scription." He moved the fourth resolution : " That the thanks of this meeting are also due, and are hereby given to her Majesty's Government, for the supply of tents and blankets from the public stores, spontaneously af forded for the use of the homeless population o f H am b urg h." Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE briefly seconded the resolu tion, expressing his deep sympathy with the sufferings of the inhabitants of Hamburgh, in consequence of the awful conflagration with which it' had pleased the Al mighty to visit the city, and his concurrence in the vote of thanks to her Majesty's Government. The resolution was unanimously adopted. D.IVID SALomoris, Esq., moved the next resolution : " That the thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby given to those public bodies which have set a laudable exam• ple by their promptitude and liberality on this occasion; and the public at large is hereby earnestly solicited to co-operate and afford its generous aid towards creating a fund, which may in some degree prove adequate to the extent and severity of the sufferings whice it is intended to relieve." Mr. VICNOLES seconded the resolution, remarking on the efforts the city of Hamburgh was compelled to make to preserve themselves from another element, that had been almost as fatal to them as fire, namely, the continual danger of inundation. He must say that fire, particularly such a one as this was, was the last calamity which was likely to befal Ham burgh. It came unexpectedly upon them, while they had every preparation with respect to any other Calamities. He thought he ought to say one word with re• spect to his brother engineers at Hamburgh. The English engineers were called upon by the senate to blow up with gunpowder certain houses, in order to cut off the communication with other houses. They could very well suppose, that amongst the distressed population, driven out from their homes, their furniture scattered, their children wounded, that there could be found persons who would misrepre sent the intention of the English ; but he was happy to say that this feeling of prejudice was confined to a few. With respect to the hospitality of Hamburgh, it was not only given to merchants, but others; artists and religious communities —every sect and person was received with hospitality ; therefore he was proud to second the resolution. The resolution was put and carried. Mr. BISTOFF proposed that subscription-books be opened at the London and country bankers. Mr. DILLoN seconded the resolution, which was put put and carried. Mr. LYALL proposed the re-appointment of the Com mittee. Mr. HonosoN seconded the resolution, which was also carried unanimously. Mr. TYRER proposed a resolution, to the effect that the proceedings of the meeting be advertised in such newspapers as the Committee might see fit. Mr. HOST seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. COLQUHOUN said it became his pleasing duty to return his thanks to the Lord Mayor for the use of the Hall and his presiding at the meeting. They had rea son to be proud of their First Magistrate, who was pre eminent in benevolence and liberality. He was now only adding another laurel to the chaplet of charity he had already obtained. _ Baron lie ROTHSCHILD seconded the resolution. The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and said that it was his duty, in whatever situation he was placed, to give his assistance to suffering humanity.—(Cheers.) The meeting then separated. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH UNION RAIL wn Y.—On Wednesday morning the London up mail train from the North, on its arrival within two hundred yards of the Park side station, passed over the body of Thomas Griffith, a barge man. On examination, it was discovered that the deceased had been dead some hours, that the body was cold and stiff, and bore evident marks of more than one train having passed over it. Deceased and others had been drinking at the Bull's-head public-house, in Golbourne Dale, and left there between ten and eleven o'clock. They were all the worse for liquor. The deceased loitered behind the rest of the party, and they saw nothing of him after they passed the bridge over the railway on the Lowton-road. The embankment at this point of the railway is full eight or ten yards above the railway on either side, and it is well fenced so as to prevent parties trespassing. It was neer this place the deceased's body,,vras found, and to case he got upon the railway on parting from his companions, no fewer than two luggage trains, in addition to the mail, must have passed over him. His hat and shoes were picked up at different places, and the sand on the railway bore evident marks of the deceased having been dragged a considerable distance. TILE SOUTH-WEST YORKSHIRE YEOMANRY CA VALRY.—The respective troops composing this fine regiment arrived last week at Doncaster, headed by Captain Cooke, and were received at the Mansion-house by Major Elmsall. Among the roll of officers at present serving in the corps are Lieute nant-Colonel Commandant the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe, and Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. John Stuart Wortley, M.P. The former Nobleman presided at the dinner which was after wards given by the Mayor, Thomas Johnson, Esq., and his health was drank in common with many others. A review of the troops takes place this day (Friday) at Doncaster ; and it is understood that the Earl of Cardigan, attended by a brilliant staff from the York Barracks, will be the inspecting officer. THE STEAM-FRIGATE Ac BAIL—On Sunday at noon this splendid war-steamer left her anchorage at Gravesend, bearing the pendant of Commodore Pepper of the Indian navy, who will assume the ecmmand of all the Company's ships-of war now serving in China, under Adm. Sir W. Parker. The Acbar is a steam-frigate of the first class, armed with two eight-inch guns, and four long 32-pounders, with a comple ment of 160 men, carrying five boats, on two of which are moui.ted brass 121 b. howitzers. The engines are of the col lective power of 350 horses, manufactured by Napier of Glas gow, ttnd of a very superior description. She has four copper boilers of about seven tons each. The Acbar made her pas ,age from Gravesend to Falmouth, a distance of 370 miles, in 36 hours, which gives an average speed of more than 10 miles au hour. It is highly probable that she will arrive in Singa pore in the short space of 85 days. I DEATH OF THE HON. MAJOR HENNIKER.—We have to announce the death of the above Hon. and Gallant gentleman, who died at Pau the week before last, where he had repaired for the benefit of his h e alth, w h ic h, f or some ti me past, has been in a declining state. Major Henniker, who was second son of the late, and brother of the present Lord Hen niker, was in his 32d year. He was in the 2d Life Guards nearly eight years, until ill-health led to his retirement front that corps. Lord and Lady Henniker are staying at Pau. HOLYHEAD STEAM - PACKETS.—The Admiralty are now fitting up a steam-boat of greater horse-power for the Holyhead and Dublin station than has ever as yet been employed on this line. The object the Post-office authorities have in view by this, is to insure the passage between Holyhead and Dublin in 44 hours. The captains on the station are quite sanguine as to its success. A few days ago, says the Journal de Saint Etienne, of the 15th inst., one of the wheels of a tender to a train on the railroad between Rive-de-Geer and Givors broke, and the tender was thrown across the road. The conductor of the first carriage immediately detached it from the locomotive, with the machinery which exists for that purpose, and sand having - been by the same means spilled over the rails, the further pro gress of the detached train was impeded, and no injury was oc ' easioned. RIGHT OF SEARCH QUESTION. (From Galignanis Messenger.) CHAMBER OF PEERS.—SIntsto OF MAY 17. The President said that, as no . person claimed the right of addressing the Chamber, they would proceed to the order of the day, which was the discussion on the bill for extraOrdiiihsry,,and - supplementary cre di ts on t h e estimates of 1841 antl l lB42.' . Viscount DoubouchtigelYthilplained at considerable length of the increasc.of their eipens'es;:-which,.. he thought, threatened coMplete ruin to the - nation. The Marquis de Bo after hay iAg passed in review ,the state of the finances, proceeded to spe4,..of the right of search, and deinanded not Only; flat the - T4ikt44tely proposed should not b e ra tifi e d, but that: the reOptokair. right of search should cease altogether. He' thought he ought to insist on this point, no matter what the avowed organ in the Cabinet of English interests might say to the contrary.—(Loud murmurs and cries of " Order.") Count Lanjuinsis—The phrase was not completed. Let the Honourable Peer be allowed to repeat it. The Marquis de Boissy did not mean to designate any Minister. He only quoted from a journal which was considered the organ of the Government.—(Marks of denial.) The President requested the Honourable Peer to withdraw the expression. . It ought not to be necessary to inform him that every expression insulting to a Frenchman, and particularly to a Member of the Cabi net, ought not to be uttered. It was evident he spoke of a Minister, and not of a journal, and he (the President) should be obliged to call him to order if he continued. The Marquis De Boissy repeated his phrase amidst much noise, which prevented the r ema i n d er o f hi s speech from being heard. The Marquis de Gabriac adduced arguments to prove that England was unjustly accused of Machiavelism, in her demand to have the treaty for establishing the right of search adopted by the Great Powers, and particularly by France. He maintained that she was actuated by philanthropy. Count Mole—The words which had been just spoken in a manner obliged him to address the Chamber. From 1817 to 1831, the' treaty for a right of search had been constantly proposed by England to France, and France had as constantly rejected it. He did not mean to say that England had any hidden or dangerous design in doing this. On the contrary, be believed that the de mand took its origin in the religious feelings of England, which always ,exereised a great influence over the resolu tions of her Governnient., In 1817 he was Minister of the Marine, and England, as he 14djust stated, made propo sitions to obtain the right of searCli. Th4S , Ministry which existed then, under the Duke of Richelieit, - 14efiliatO - ac cede, first, because the position of France immediately after an invasion did not allow her to show any facility in mat ters which in any way affected her sovereignty, and, also, because it might give rise to differences tending to de stroy the good terms on which the two countries stood. England continued her efforts, and even accused France of not adopting sufficiently severe measures. As Minister of Marine, he had introduced.o Bill for repressing, still more than had before been done, ithe.slave-trade. The Bill was voted, but exactly in the same profound silenee as had accompanied the voting of the indemnity to the foreign armies, so great was the distrust of the Chamber, and its fears of the independence of France being coin promised. Other propositions were afterwards made by England, and successively refused by Baron Pasquier and Viscount de Chateaubriand. Then came the Revolution of July, which, though it in no way changed the ques tion, certainly increased the friendly terms on which the two countries were placed towards each other, and from which proceeded a Treats , of reciprocal right of search, which the just susceptibilities of the French nation had before then refused. When he (Count Mole) came to power in the year 1836, he found the same propositions which England had lately succeeded in getting agreed to. He had been sense time in power before he was aware of the propositions, and then only from an application made by the English Government to him to send his answer. At a later period, in 1837, Portugal made pro positions similar to those of England, which were pe remptorily rejected. These propositions tended to in crease the zones in which the search was to be made. In 1838 England again made proposals, and the answer was, that the matter would be taken into consideration. Row then did it occur, that when so positive ail answer was given to Portugal, a more hesitating reply was given to England. It must be borne in mind that he was then personally accused of neglecting the English alliance, and that the accusations were even made in theChamber.Hewas, therefore, unwilling to send such a reply as would give ad ditional grounds for suspicion. He, therefore, endeavoured to adjourn the question by dilatory proceedings, but never consented to augment the zones specified in the treaties of 1831 and 1833. Such had been his part in the question. He had never intended, and he defied any one to say, as had been asserted, that his administration had consented to extend the existing treaties. He felt it right to give these explanations, because both in the Chamber, and out of it, his name had been cited on this question. He was only anxious that the Chamber should tix with precision each man's responsibility. The Minister of Foreign Affairs—The Chamber would perceive that Count Mole had gone back on the past, and treated the subject in the manner which he (M. Guizot) had always avoided. What bad been just said left him at full liberty, if he pleased, to allude or not to facts not affecting himself, and not, therefore, touching his own responsibility. Yet, after what had been stated, he would go back too, but not far ther than the Revolution of July. He would show the Chamber that the written despatches to and from Count Mole did not exactly square with the words they had just heard. (Here the Hon. Minister read a number of despatches to and from Count Sebastiani at London, tending to prove that Count Mole had not opposed so formally as he had stated the extension of the zones, in which the right of search was to be exercised.) He then continued thus—The discussion on time question cannot take place to-day, but in my eyes it results from all the negotiations that France is morally engaged to sign the Treaty. Since the last discussion in the Cham ber, the position of the question is in no respect altered. The ratification of the Treaty has been positively refused, and no engagement has been taken to ratify it at any future time. It is said, that when the Chambers are over the Treaty will be signed. I might take such an assertion as an insult to my common sense. Do you suppose that the material presence of the Chamber is what acts on the determinations of Governments? No, gentle men, whether you be absent or present, it is certain that your opinion and wishes are equally looked to by us. The line of conduct which I adopted two months ago in re fusing to ratify the Treaty, I will equally pursue when the doors of this building are closed; and, in the actual state of things, I conceive that I should fail in my duty were I to recommend the ratification. Count Mole addressed the Chamber, in opposition to the notion that he had been favourable to the ex tension of the zones. It was certain, he said, that every Ministry had endeavoured to extend the treaties of 1831 and 1833, by getting the other Powers to consent to them. When the treaties existed, he was one of those who considered that they ought to be respected, but he had never exerted himself to procure any exten sion of the right of other Powers, and what he had said referred simply to the zones in which the right of search was to be exercised. When even Portugal pro posed it, he had always rejected it in the most formal manner ; and that in 1838, when he had had before his eyes the Treaty of the Five Powers which England had communicated. In December, 1838, he was surprised at the consent given by his Ambassador to the protocol, but he could not - nt the moment, when the address was dis cussed with so much acrimony, disavow what the Am bassador had done. He must thea repeat that the ex tension of the latithdes in which the right of search was to be exercised had always been opposed by him, and that the only aim of the efforts of his Administration was to get the existing treaties observed. Personally, he had always been opposed to the right of search. The discussion was adjourned to the next sitting, and the Chamber rose at six o'clock. THE STRAWBERRY HILL SALE. TWENTY-SECOND DAY.

TIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—FIOTRVaIiti ' S comic opera of Le Cantatrice Villane was performed for Lablache's benefit last night, for the first time. It primarily appeared at Paris in 1806, and there had a considerable run. During the ten subsequent years it was frequently revived, and after having lain dormant for the next twenty, was re-produced there with especial success last season at Paris, which has led to its representation here. Fioravanti died at Naples in 18.33. Lablache acted the old rich gouty amateur of music, Don Marco Bomba ; Persiani the Rosa of the piece ; and Frezzo lini the Agatha. Between the acts of the opera, Celt.) intro duced her Gitana dance, which met with unbounded ap plause, and the National Anthem was afterwards sung, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day. The crops in this district have improved sur prisingly since the late refreshing rains. The meadows give promise of a good swathe, and the wheats look better than some time since they could have been ex pected to do. Beans and peas are coming forward very luxuriantly.—Maidstone Journal. ~'"~==~ ~.,, 4: • ROYAL .BRXTIS' ,-;;;FEMALE • - - ORPHAN A - .j UM; TO THE EDITOR 0' :771E SUN. ' Srn,—As the columns of your tl rnal - are frequently devoted to questions of interest a ting -the naval and military services, I trust that the foffiwing short account of the rise and progress of an asylum for the poor and destitute female orphans of our deceased soldiers and sailors, IN ill so far elicit the sympathies of your numerous readers, as to induce them to contribute out of their abun dance for the erection of a building for their enlarged accommodation. I beg to lay beforeyou a list of the present inmates of the Asylum, wh e r e i n are exhibited the description of 11 6 1 tphans already elected, and their claims to our sym pathy, AS-their places of birth or abode do not in any way tend to influence their election, ninny parishes are relieved 'froni their pauper burdens ; the Institution, therefore; bedeines- - a national one, and advances its claim to ask.assistance from the Empire at large ; and if the supporters of this interesting Charity are of this opinion, from the numerous contributions already received, amounting to 1,318/., they will not plead in vain with those who delight in showing gratitude for the protec tion afforded to our country by our soldiers and sailors, and can feel pity for their female orphans. Benevolent individuals will rejoice in the opportunity thus afforded for removing these candidates for their bounty from scenes of vice, teaching them to earn an honest sub sistence, and to become the virtuous wives of our poorer brethren, fulfilling thecommands of our God, in protecting the fatherless. Ido not think that there can be a greater charity, nor one more in accordance with our holy faith. No locality ought to be allowed to sustain alone burdens which in justice belong alike to all, for Devonport, in which the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum is established, efficiently maintains her numerous local charities, besides cheerfully contributing to various In stitutions at a distance, whose claitns are advocated pe riodically by visitors ; and this is the first instance in which Devonport has solicited assistance from the cha citable and humane who reside beyond her immediate limits ; and where can be found one truly Christian per son who will not admit that all ought to step forward and aid this interesting and national institution? The amount wanted for the building is only about 3,000/. , and if all gave a little the required sum would be very soon collected. The Lord of the Manor has in the most generous spirit pre,ented to the Asylum as much land as may be required, upon an eligible site, for a term of 99 years, at a nominal rent of one shilling per annum, and the public are appealed to for funds to enable the Directors to avail themselves of this grant. I also send you a copy of the last Report, with its Rules, in which are set forth its patronage and government. No expense attends, the managetnent, except the actual outlay for food, clothing, &c.; every subscriber has the privilege or nominating a candidate upon teach election. Among the list of donors and subscribers will be found the names of Lords Hill end Vivian, and many general and other officers in the army, who, as well as their families, have generously stepped forward with their pecuniary aid ; flag and other naval officers, with their wives and fami lies ; and a goodly list of widows and orphans of our departed heroes who contribute a little from their limited means. Nor ought I to omit directing your attention to the long list of Donors and Subscribers comparatively unconnected with either army or navy, who say, when they transmit their moneys to the Treasurer, that they do so from the grateful sense they entertain of the indefatigable exertions which have successfully sustained the honour of the British Empire, kept the enemy from invading the shores of England, protected and extended her commerce, gave employment to her people, and added to her wealth and prosperity. That her soldiers and sailors may always discharge their duty faithfully, and the country evince its gratitude for their zealous services, is the sincere prayer of Your obedient servant, G. F. SOMERVILLE, Commander R.N., Honorary Treasurer. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

The most lively sympathy appears to prevail in behalf of all who have lost property by this conflagration ; and so sensible are the sufferers themselves of the extent of it. that several private letters received from Hamburg!' state on behalf of these, their sorrow and regret at the English having in any one instance been personally an•. noyed either by word or deed in the conftision which followed the first alarm. To the English, as well as all other people who have subscribed to mitigate their ur gent necessities, they desire to be represented as exceed ingly grateful fur the aid so seasonably extervl., d to them, and speak with pride of the generous sympathy excited in their behalf at a period when commercial distress ge nerally prevailed. • SUN —The bargains in the English Funds to-day were few in number, and these but small in amount, in conse quence of being partially kept as a holiJay ; the market has been very firm, and prices advanced a shade, Con sols leaving off at 92t 921 for Money and for the Ac count ; India Stock, 249 250 ; Bank Stock, 167 168 ; Exchequer Bills, 37 39 premium.

THE ROYAL MAlLS. — Yesterday being observed as the Queen's birth-day, the Royal mails proceeded in procession to the Post-office, the guards in their new liveries, the coaches, which were entirely new,' were drawn by splendid teams, with a handsome harness made for the occasion, and ornamented with rosettes of ribbon. The letter-carriers had also their new uniforms, and the General and Twopenny-postmen their annual supply of fresh official costume. The weather being gloomy, not so ninny persons assembled on the line of route as is usual on these occasions. TIIE TESTINIONIAL TO M. MACREADY.— The splendid testimonial, raised by the subscriptions of the lovers of the drama and admirers of Mr. Macready, in commemoration of the services rendered by that gentle man during his management of C ovent - gar d en an d Drury-lane Theatres, in endeavouring to restore the na tional drama, and to revive the original text of Shake speare, has just been completed. The testimonial, which is composed of silver, stands about 31 inches in height, and forms an elaborate and splendid group of figures, and represents Shakspeare on a pedestal, at the base of which is seated a figure of Macready, dressed in the costume of the ancient drama ; he is represented as en gaged in the restoration of the original text of Shaks peare's plays, he is attended by Thalia and Melpomene. The muse Clio is introduced as recording that restora tion. At the back part of the group is Apollo, with numerous attendants, celebrating the praise of Nhaks peare. Upon the sides of the base are represented the senate scene in Othello, the prologue scene in Henry the Fifth, and the senate scene in Coriolanus. On the angles are introduced three boys with tablets, in which are re presented the storm scene in Lear, the meeting with the witches in .11lacbeth, and a scene from the Tempest. An inscription plate will also be added, which eulogises the splendid talents and energy o f M r. M acready, and the services his devotedness to the Shaksperian drama has effected in representing those plays in a pure and classic form. The execution of the work was entrusted to Mr. J. B. Smith, of Duke-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, silver smith, by whom it has been finished in a manner which reflects upon his skill the highest praise. The West India steamers are allowed for the pre sent, through an especial favour from the Admiralty, to be re paired at Portsmouth, the West India Company's dock at Southampton not being yet completed. The Company have purchased a portion of land at the mouth of the ItChen river, opposite the Southampton Docks, on the road to Netley Abbey. 1 he old road to that far-famed place has been destroyed on pur pose to enable the Company to make their dock. The immense expense to which the Company have been subjected lately has pievented them frum using any funds for the present in com pleting their dock. The expenses of the West India Company are estimated at 1,0001. daily. FATAL ACCIDENT BY A PHYSICIAN'S CAB.—Last evening an inquest was taken by Mr. Higg's. Deputy Coroner for Westminster, at the Green Man, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, on the body of Lydia Worren, age d 53, who was killed in being run over by a cab belonging to George Hume Weatherhead, Esq., M.D. of 53, Guildford-street, Russell square. Catherine Steel, of No, 15, Short's-gardens, stated that on the afternoon of Tuesday last, she was in Holborn, when she saw deceased crossing the end of King-street, who, before she could get out of the way, was knocked down by a gentle man's four-wheeled cab, driven by a youth, and the horse in which was going at a fast rate. She was immediately picked up, and the gentleman who was inside having alighted, by his desire deceased was placed in a hackney cab, and directions given for her to be taken to Greville street Hospital; b u t by .nistake of the driver she was conveyed to the King's Coll ege . ce he ased who was the wif e o f a wheelwright in considered the acc id ent happened through New Wit n e,S Turnstile. knew de ceased, furious driving. Mr. R. T. Freer, Surgeon of King's Col tege Hospital said, that on deceased's admittance, he found that ten ribs on her right side, and ten on her left, were frac tured. Every assistance was afforded her, but she died of in ternal haemorrhage at six o'clock the same evening. Mr. Ed ward Davis, s•ilicitor, No. t, Belmont-place, Walworth, said that he was pas,ing down King-street, and witnessed the oc currence. The tab was crossing Holborn from Queen-street, and was not going at the rate of more than seven miles an hour. He was of opinion that no fault was attributable to the driver, who pulled up immediately alter the accident, and thought it arose entirely from deceased not being enabled to get out of the way, or not seeing the vehicle approaching. Mr. Weather head assured the Jury that the driver, who was certainly , a youth, 16 years of age, had been used to horses all his life, had been three years in his service, and he considered him a care ful and steady driver, and that the present melancholy inquiry arose from accident. The Jury being of the same opinion, re turned a veidiet of " Accidental death," with a nominal deo dand of one shilling. r.EtE SUN', LONDON, PRIDAS'RVENING, MAC . ; 26, ie42.
