PROVINCIAL TO THE PUBLIC,ANDyRADING INTERESTS IN PARTICULAR. A few weeks ago, whi!st quitting Rath. I had occasion for money, and on applying at the City Bank of that place, re ceived " Notes." amongst others of al., two, whose numbers :acre•' E E 7.387." _ . Judge of my surprise on attempting to pass one of the Notes at the Railway Office in London, to ii..d it wholly refused. More ever,j udge also of my astonishment, on presenting the Bills at Jews. Barclay, Bevan, and Co.. the Agents of the Bath City 134nk in Londori, to have them all refused. I next applied to the Bank whence they were issued, and received a line at follows: " To Messrs Parciay, Bevan, and Co., " Gentlemen,—We request you will give the bearer cash for two of our local five pound notes. GEORGE MOGER & SON. " Bath City Bank, ‘2Bth June. 1842." Thus it seems that this Bank i•sues two kinds of notes—the one local (only), the other redeemable in London. I wish to draw attention, under these circumstances, if such kind of notes as the former can be tolerated—hi fact, if they can be termed the representative of bullion? The object of issuing " local notes' is to gain a large paper circulation in the neighbourhood where they are issued—when the credit of the Bank may be good—and by " palming them off" to per sons about to traverto a distant part of the country, the Bank gains a month's interest. and the holding trailer, suffers— by having to self them at a discount to the inimey-tratlicers. The public cannot be too :MIA on their guard with respect to such " notes," and trickery at all the pro vincial BANNS, for as railways quickly take indivi duals to towns far distant from the place of issue before they are aware of the system, the interest of their money is not only lust for several weeks, perhaps, but they are sadly inconvenienced, as I have been, for ten or more d a. 1 may as well add, that, so far as the face of the notes whieh I hold indicate, the Bath City Bank may, with as much justote, refuse the notes of " the Commercial Batik of Eng mod." the circulation of whose notes, in my opinion, are bared on the same system of (rend. Should—orrather, when—the Government of England, etc., becomes (under Allegiance to the People's Voice) responsible for every Noie in circulation, papa r money will be as good as gold —but not before—and then all notes must be Exchequer Netes (guaranteed as in America) sooner or later, any one who exa mines the effects of Rail-way rapidity upon the country cannot doubt for a tingle moment.

But though we cannot tell whether such a law exist or not, we are quite positive and certain that it ought not to exist. How shall every man tell at all times that every sovereign he possesses weighs not less than " fiverpen nyweights, two grains and a half ?" Is he always to carry scales with him, and weigh every sovereign he receives, and produce his scales to weigh it before he pays it away? That will be necessary if no coin but of full weight is to circulate, and if every person is authorised to deface light coin when offered to him. In truth, Mr. GOULBURN'S proclamation, which had Mr. C. WOOD'S approbation, except that he said that it was rather hurried, requires Its at all times to weigh every sovereign we receive or pay away. It places us in a far worse position than if ! her MAJESTY'S Government abstained from troubling itself about the coinage, and allowed the people to use lumps of precious metal, weighing five ounces, one ounce, half, or quarter of an ounce, so that they might be at once brought to the balance and their value ascer tained. The object of the Government in coining money i to save the people the trouble of weighing it, and Mr. GOULBURN'S proclamation requiring them to weigh it really destroys that utility for which the nation pays a large sum every year to the Mint. If the sovereigns cannot circulate without being weighed, they ought to be called in, and the Government ought to give up the task of regulating the coinage. The appendices B to F to the eighth Annual Report of the Poor-law Commissioners has just been issued by the House of Commons, and they contain some informa tion concerning the pauperism of England, which we shell lay before our readers. It will not be said that this is the exaggeration of the Anti-Corn-law Leagues that these ztatements have been got up to make out a case, and that they are not worthy of credit. The Poor law Commissioners report only factl, and they do not make the matter worse than it actually exists. At page 350 is an account of the number of in and outdoor paupers relieved in 577 Unions, and an esti mate of the number of paupers relieved exclusive of thee, unions, in the years ending Lady-day 1840 and 1841. The total' number of in and outdoor paupers actua►ly relieved in these 577 unions was. in the year ending Lady-day 1844, 982,768 ; in 1841, 1,072,978, being in the latter year nine per cent. of the population, the expense of relieving whom was 4 per cent. more in the year ending Lady-day 1841 than 1840. These are actual facts. The estimated number of paupers for all England and IVales, including these uniow, was, in the year ending Ladv•dtty 1840, 1,199.329 ; and in 1841, 1,300.9281., or 9 per cent of the whole population. One person out of every eleven in England and Wales received relief in the year ending Lady-day 1841. The amount expended for their relief was, in 1840 3,733,4141. ; and, in 1841, 3,884,5851. Another table shows the number.of adult abk-bodied paupers receiving relief in the the two years. The actual number in the 577 unions was, in 1840, 245,772, and in 1841, 285,090. The estimated number in all England, incluling these unions, was, in 1840, 297,695 ; and, in 1841, 345,656,! showing in the latter year an increase in the number of adult able-bodied paupers relieved of 48,961. Bat these amounts, large as they are, only come down to Lady-day, 1841, and since that period pauperism has fladc frightful strides in the country. Thus, in Stock port, though we cannot take it as an example for the whole country, the increase in the quarter ending December, 1841, as compared to the quarter ending December, 1840, was, of persons relieved, from 3,946 to 6,871, and money expended, from 2,9801. to 5,1201. Leeds, Man eheiter, Nottingham, and other great towns show an increase nearly as great as in Stockport, so that, large and increasing as the amount of pauperism was in 1841, it is now considerably greater. It must also be remembered that th em e increase of pauperism and expense is taking place under our new and stringent system of poor-laws, which does everything possible to keep down the expense and prevent persons applying for relief. So stringent is the law, so disagree able, in fact, do the people find its enactments, that a great number submit to the utmost extremity of want rather than apply for parish relief, and many, we be. lieve, have actually perished rather than go into the workhouse. Yet, in spite of a rigid administration of a rigid law, nine per cent. of the people were paupers in 1841, and in 1842 it is probable that the number has Augmented to twelve per cent. When such is the case, with such a stringent law, how vast must be the misery ,f the people ! This great and growing plague, however, is not con ined to the manufacturing districts. Opulent as is the county of Middlesex, and little as it has been affected by the general distress, the number of paupers in it increased from 49,841 in 1840, to 73,815 in 1841, and we have good reason to believe that in 1842 the number is still further in creased. The number of able-bodied adult paupers in creased in Middlesex, from 15,290 in 1840, to 26,122 in 1841. So in Surrey, the number of able-bodied paupers in 1840 was 8,895, and in 1841, 12,271 ; so in Kent, 9,737, and 12,892 ; in Essex, 9,540, and 12,493. The agricultural counties with the exception perhaps of Devon, all exhibit their share of increase in able-bodied paupers, and in persons relieved, as well as Lancashire and Warwickshire. There are only five counties—Derby, Norfolk, Northumberland, Suffolk, and the North Riding of Yorkshire—in which there was any diminution, of ex pense in 1841 as compared to 1840, and in every one of these the number of paupers had increased. Thus the plague, which is now so much more severe than in 1841, spares no place and smites the agricultural nearly as heavily as the manufacturing districts. Is there no moral to be drawn from the extraordinary and lamentable fact, that every eleventh person in England and Wales is a pauper, and that the number of paupers, and the amount of distress, are increasing? Without now adverting to what we are well convinced is the specific cause of this condition, let us remind the reader that to this time the laws have been, and, even yet, continue to be made expressly to protect native industry. It is to keep our hardy labourers from being too rudely vi sited by the breath of foreign competition that the paternal Legislature has hedged them round with restrictive and protective laws. To provide the labourer with plenty of work and high wages is the reason assigned for all the laws which are said to protect native industry, and the documents we have just quoted show that those laws have been most complete and disastrous failures. The protected industry is impoverished, pauperised, and degraded. What other proof can possibly be brought that the laws have not accomplished the purpose for which they were designed ? There is no body of labourers on the round earth at once so in genious, so skilful, so industrious, and so poor, as the la bourers of England, whose industry, we are d a il y to ld b y the Tory Journals it is the great object of the laws to protect. We do not ask the lawmaker to be honest or just, we know that is not in his nature; but we ask him not to be silly, not to be weak, not to make himself the laughing-stock of mankind, by accomplishing objects the very reverse of those he pro fesses to aim at. He would be little better than a demon if he designed and willed the horrible degrada tion of the industrious classes to which his protecting laws have doomed them. He does not will the mischief lie causes ; but, a greater bungler than the Irishman. who, in spearing a fish, is said to have cut off his own head, the lawmaker desires to promote the welfare of the people, and he steeps them to the chin in misery and degradation. Nothing could be kindlier, safer, or better, than the spirit in which all parties in the House of Commons on Thursday—with a single individual exception—received Mr. HUME'S motion for throwing open the Library of the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Armoury and Jewellery of the Tower of London, Greenwich Hospital, Westminster Abbey, and the other public edifices of the country, the public. The sole dissentient was Sir H. INGLIS, whom Mr. G. KNIGHT well described as the impersonation of some holy, purblind, bead-dropping, cord-cinctured, tonsured Monk of the middle ages.. No professed brother of the orders of Dommc, FRANCIS of Assisium. or AUGUSTIN, was ever, by con traction of ideas, fitter ter a cloister than the Hon. Member for the University of Oxford. Well does he represent sits illuminated missals and other re cords of the piety and intelligence of the fourteenth century. Could we for a moment regard him as an im personation of the political opinions of the youth of Eng land there educated, we would despair of the regenera. tion of our country. But the debate in the House of Commons last night assures us that we need entertain no fear on that head. There wits no virtual opposition made to the motion on the part o: the Government. On the contrary, all the Ministers present, the Pre mier among the rest, warmly supported it, and merely recommended that it might be withdrawn, to allow the authorities in charge of public buildings the merit of throwing them open of their own mere motion, as other wise the Crown might be involved in disputes with per sons who might deny its right of interference, and even set that authority at defiance. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer told the House that no loan could be more fully convinced than he was of the importance of giving the people free access to exhibitions which had a tendency to elevate their thoughts, improve their taste, and. by that means to humanize their minds. Great advantage had resulted from throwing open the Parks on Sundays. He scarcely ever allowed a Sunday to pass without walking in the Parks, to enjoy the gratification ' of seeing so many of his fellow-subjects partaking of a similar innocent recreatie: , .

The currency was the subje c t of a question, put l as t night by Mr. C. Wow) to the CHANCELLOR of the Ex cit.:gm:ft, and, according to his statement, every per son has the power to cut and deface light gold coin ; so that a tradesman to whom a sovereign was offered, if he found that it was light, might not only refuse to take it, but might cut and deface it, before returning it to its owner. If such be the law, we must admit that the p e e pk. have been much wiser than the law, and, by for bearing to do what the law has prescribed, have saved themselves from many quarrels, and not a few broken heads. That the Bank and the Excise, the Custom-house, and all other public offices, should deface all light coin as itis brought to them, and so gradually withdraw it, and perpetually substitute a coinage of full weight, th.. Government, or rather. the people, paying the ne cessary expense, seems rational ; but that indivi duals should be authorised to destroy the light coin, which other persons may offer them, seems so monstrous a law, so well adapted to encourage quarrels, that we saw with satisfaction, that its exigence is doubted.

As regarded her Majesty's Ministers, he declared that they were most anxious to extend the means of enjoyment to the humbler classes, and that they would lose no opportunity of endeavouring to prevail upon the directors of public establishments to give the freest possible access to the people. Sir R. PEEL said that the greatest advantage would result from allowing the working classes to familiarize their minds with our national monuments. It ,would refine and im prove their minds, and not only restrain them from low vices, but afford a guarantee for the stability of our Government and institutions. With respect to the high charges for admission, it was argued that they were necessary to secure the respectability of visitors ; but he under- Blood that it was not from_the artisans, but the vulgar rich that injury was to be feared to public exhi bitions. The Earl of LINCOLN expressed senti ments equally liberal, and such was the unanimity of the House upon the subject that the lion. Member for Montrose very prudently withdrew his motion. The age of cant is happily disappearing. Never within our recollection did the House of Commons manifest a better feeling towards the people, or a more earnest wish to supply their intellectual wants than on Thursday I Ott. Though agreeing with Mr. Hums in many of his plans for diminishing public expenditure. and rewarding officers of the army and navy, not according to their rank in life, but their merit, it has been our lot to differ with him cc every occasion when he has grudged to these public servants an ample reward for their services. On Thursday he complained of the great number of Captains and Lieutenants of the navy, and in adverting to one class said, "Of 2,000 Lieutenants, the average period since they were last employed was fourteen years and seven months. What finances can sustain this ?" The question was put with great naivete, and must no doubt have excited a smile on the counte nances of Whigs as well as Tories, when it is known that this enormous burden does not exceed 200,0001. p. r annum, and that many of these brave men had risked their lives for their country, and that every one of them might he called upon to face the cannon's mouth for the small pay of los. a day. In times of peace there must always be a great number of officers on half-pay, else what would become Of the country in a case of emer gency, and what patriots even could be expected to ex pose themselves to death, and their families to want, fur the mere glory of defeating the enemy ? Let him look at the hosts of civilians in every department with salaries from 2001. to LOON. a year and upwards, who run no risk, who enjoy long lives at ease, in public offices, and in the bosom of their families, and contrast their happy condition with that of soldiers and sailors banished from their country for years, and at the same time ex posed to every hardship and danger. Mr. Rusts would be much better employed if he would turn his attention to the extravagance of our civil departments, to the enormous pay of the higher clergy and Bishops, with all the useless staff of cathedrals, and exert his laudable industry in cutting down these estab lishments to make up the deficient pay of the army and navy. , We have to maintain forty Bishops and Arch bishops, at an expense of more than half a millon ster ling a year, taking into account their perquisites and patronage ; they would live more suitably to their calling on the one-fifth of this enormous income, nay, the Presbyterians say they might be dispensed with altogether ; and could not a Member of Parlia ment, therefore, be better employed in devising measures of economy for this overgrown Church system, than in attempts to diminish the already too small in come of men to whom all look in the hour of danger ? The people of this country are anxious to see patronage properly distributed, but Mr. HUME may rest satisfied that they will turn a deaf ear to any plans for lowering the income of the worst paid servants of the public.

There are at present 37 persons (33 men and 4 women) confined for debt in the prison of the Petits Carmes. This number is quite enormous for a population of 120,000 souls, including the suburbs. It is in the pro portion of three to 1,000. The House of Clichy; at Paris, contains, at present, 142 prisoners, which is only 1i to 1,000, in a population of 1,300,000 souls. Comparing the two cities, Paris should have 330 prisoners confined for debt. Among the prisoners at Brussels, there is the mother of four children, and one of them at the breast, and an old man 72 years of age.

LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING. Tit trasnaY.—lt has never been our good fortune to witness a more successful " Cup Day," every thing, in fact, tended to make it attractive—the list was plethoric, the race was cer tain to bring out a large field, and the weather was uninter ruptedly fine. Crowds, therefore, flocked to the ground, and every imaginable description of vehicle was brought into play ; the stands were full to an overflow ; the betting inclosure is as thronged, and both sides of the course, from the stable turn to below the distance-post, were lined six deep. The great event of the day was the Cnp, and it would have afforded unmingled gratification but fear the non-appearance of the Knight of the Whistle. The reason as.igned by public rumour for his withdrawal is, that " the stable" had been anticipated in the market by certain persons, who having obtained early information of the trial, had made use of it to such an extent that forced the horse up in the betting, and prevented his party getting on upon favourable terms; hence, that in order to p un i s h th e offenders, it was resoved not to run him, but to trust to Black Beck and Rhodanthe ' • so goes " public ru mour." Whether a trainer having five horses in a race beling ing to declared confederates, is bound in honour to start the one which " the public" may think proper to make first fisourite, is " an (ien question;" but as that "one" hap pened to be on the spot, and well enough to be quoted at 5 to 1 for the Goodwood Stakes, it is clear that the aforesaid " public" would have been much better pleased had his number been tele graphed as a starter; in that case his backers would have had no excire for giving vent to their chagrio in such angry terms. The racing began, as advertised, at two o'clock precisely, and did not finish until late in the evening. The Cup gave an unexpected increase to the sport, in the shape of a dead beat, which was not run off until long after all the evening trains had depa!ted. The first event.

The start was beyond c mparison one of the most perfect ever seen on this or any other course. Under the personal direction of Lord Geo. Bentinek, twenty in number were wheeled round and got off at the first attempt so completely abreast that it was almost impossible to say which was leading for the first twenty yards. Prince Caradoc then took up the running, at a moderate pace, followed by Thirsk, Retriever, Cham pagne, Una, and Forester, the others in a custer, Vulcan arid Bhodanthe being in the rear. With scarcely any change they ran to the bridge turn, where the pace quickened, and Vulcan and Rhodanthe drew towards the centre, Prince Cara.. oc con tinued the running to the last turn, where he resigned it to Champagne, who was followed cleverly by Pagan, Bellona, and two or three others, with Vulcan and Rhodanthe at their heels. At the distance Rhodanthe took the lead, Vulcan waiting to the stand, where he caught her, arid it became " heads or tails " for choice. The struggle home was interest-ng in the extreme, and ended, to the de light of the beholders, in a dead heat. Pagan was a mo derate third, and Champagne fourth ; Miss Stilton and Bel lona were next, but beaten off. The favourite made a sorry figure in the race. The decidirg heat was run after the last heat for the Queen's Plate, Vulcan being the favourite at 2 to 1 ; he made all the running, and, after a splendid race from the distance, won by a neck, the mare never having got quite up.

SOUTHAMPTON.—CLOSE OF THE INQUIRY. The Committee met yesterday at three o'clock, for the purpose of considering their Report. When the door was opened at four o'clock we understood that the Com mittee had agreed to their Report, but it was not pub licly read. The substance of it, however, is, that the evidence was not sufficient to justify the Committee in recommending the disfranchisement of the borough of Southampton. No recommendation is to be made as to the issuing or suspension of the writ, that being left to the discretion of the House; but the Committee think it might be de sirable, if ally measure is to be introduced for the pre vention of bribery, that the writ should be suspended till then. The Report is not to be brought up till Monday. GRAVE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT.—A correspondent who, the other day, paid a visit to the grave of the late S;r Walter Scott, at Dryburgh Abbey, expresses regret at not firulio.2- it !nark , d not eitile- t. horizontal or 17'”(1 „ ti:{-1 1 ;le,91 INCA U, .01, VII 04V., Vi• 443 of his lady.—Batk Chronicle, - to '~: ~L'_ !i~l: SIR R. PEEL AND THE ANTI CORN LAW DiJ,EGATES. TO THE EDITOR (IF THE SUf Srit,—When I applied the term "sinister " to the manner of Sir Hebert Peel, during his audience of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates, I meant to speak of manner only, and to assert that the beating of Sir Robert. Peel had not the frankness and singleness with which a deputation of British merchants shou d have been met by the Prime Minister of this great commercial country; that, on the contrary, there was a mournful and constrained consciousness of all this in the bearing of the Min ister, and a dissatisfaction at his own position, which firmness, and impassiveness, and seriousness of countenance, even if they had been quite maintained, could no more have hidsen, than the impress of a coin can hide the metal of which it is com posed. We admired the command of countenance which the Morning Chronicle has complimented Sir Robert Peel for having preserved during his audience of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates, but we appeal to ev er y D e l ega t e p resen t, w h e th er the firmness of the impress concealed from any one the colour of the metal—whether, in a word, Sir Robert Peel did nut look as if be were pia, in, a part with which he was morally dissatisfied? That dissatisfaction was not merely the pain of refusing chrity to a starving beggar, knowing that he may wink, and need not starve, but it was the pain of-refusing jus tice le.:starving operatives and ruined merchants, who only de mand to he allowed to work, and sell the produce of then lab.,Ur for the food they are craving. It was this conviction which grieved Sir Robert Peel to the conscience, even mire than to the heart. And when we employ,' the term " sinister " to describe the impression which all this produced. we b -lieve, that independently of its being a correct, it is a lair descrip tion of tiir Robert Peel's manner. For to have supposed him to ha‘e received the Delegates of the manufasturieg and commercial districts with haughty condescension or affected plausibility, would be to confound his bearing with that of inferior men. On the contrary there was nothing in Sir R. Peers manner which was unbecoming his position. It was the mournful and unsatisfied bearing of a man of sense and feeling, who has undertaken to refuse the just demands of persons he both respects and likes, and in whose judgment he desires to stand well. Lord Stanley might have dismissed the Delegates haughtily ; Sir James Graham would have received them plau sibly ; Sir Robert Peel did neither, and we like hisn ad the better. And though we felt something of the hysterica passio when we heard sad accounts of starving operatives and ruined manu'acturers, and could , of repruss a rising inchgnation at the policy which refuses obvious and man:fest justice, we were conscious of never losing sight for a moment of respect for Sir Robert Peel. We may be blamed for this confession by our Whig and Radical friends, but the c nviction was strong upon us, this man understands and feels our commercial dis tresses—he cannot, he will not sacrifice the great commercial interests of the country to the haughty insolence, or cold sel fishness, or thoughtless folly of the landowner. And, still as we looked on that anxious care-worn face, we said, to our selves, these details of • the ruin of the manufacturer, and the n in-ry of the operative, are cutting him to the heart--there is the impassive feature, but the shade is darkening—unless party jealousy and party tactics prevent it, Sir Robert Peel will do justice to the mercantile interests of this country yet. Well does the pour, dying, Mercurio exclaim—" A curse on both your Houses !" It is to tie good and true man of all parties that we look for justice to the merchant and opet alive. We deprecate their inter, sts and influence bring considered to belong to any party. We heartily wish this principle were curried farther. \%'e object. equally to the corrupter amongst the higher orders, the indifferent amongst the middle orders, and the corrupted amongst the lower enders. Is the union of all that is sound in the State impossible? What has hunger, and wretchedness, and poverty, and despair to do with party ? It is the fair representation of each of the three great divisions of society, as well as of the three great parties in the State, wh:ch we desire to see. If we had this would either the land, the capital, or the labriur of the country be sacrificed ? But, if there be not such union on fair principles of the good men and true, of all ranks mid parties, for a great and good purpose, it is plain that a fearful struggle between srlfisb, pat tial, and party interests is at the eve of occurring. from which no good can possibly come, but only changi . s of evil. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A DELEGATE OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE. MONEY and COIVIAIERCiAL. NEWS CITY, FRlllay EVENING The weak parties having been got rid off, the market, now that the account has been closed, has again become firm, and Consols left off at 90/ 903 for Money, and 90i for the Account, rather an extensive business havirg been done. Bank Stork, 165/ 1661 ; India Stock, 247 249; Exchequer Bills, Old, 48 50 ; New, 46 48 prem. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 101 102 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 51 51i; the Five per Cents., 1001 1011; Danish, 81 82; and Brazilian, 6.1 66. Mexican was quoted 351 361. The inquiry for Shares was rather improved—London and Birmingham, 177 179; Birmingham and Gloucester, 47 49 ; Great Western 86 87 ; the Half Shares, 61 611 ; South Western, 601 611; North Midland, 59 60; South Eastern and Dover, 22 221 ; Eastern Counties, 8y 8d ; Northern and Eastern, 391 401 ; Blackn all, 9 91 ; and Brighton, 331 331 per share. The rates of the Foreign Exchanges were all firm, at the quotations of Tuesday ; Hamburgh,however, was a shade higher. The Bonds were quoted—Colombian, 21 2:1 ; Peruvian, 16 1 / 2 17 1 / 2 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 324 331 ; the Three per Cents., 19 191 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 204; the Three per Cents., 20* 21. A communication appeared in The Sun of last evening, complaining that several fruitless applications had been made at the Money Order Office for the cash for a post-office order, in consequence of the country postmaster having neglected to send " advice" for the receipt of the money to London. If there be any consolation to be found in the fact, that this par ticular party does not stand alone in the grievance, it may he saSely used, inasmuch as not a day passes without numerous answers of a similar tendency being received by applicants. 'lsere is no branch of the public service which is more calculated to benefit the community, and especially the poorer orders, or the details of which are so badly managed as this. Much personal inconvenience and . great loss of time have to be ensured before the individual in possession of the order can make his way to the small window, at which it is to be presented to ar s inv i s ibl e of fi c i a l ; after his ordeal has been passed, more time is wasted in searching if it be cor rect, and ultimately it may be, that owing to the neglect of persons its the c. untry, whose duty it was to acknowledge the receipt of the money, the applicant is sent back with the loss of, generally, nearly an hour consumed in waiting his turn, with the prospect of a similar occurrence on the text day. A most ingenious contrivance also has lately been addsd, apparently for tie sole purpose of adding to the annoyance, in the shape of a long wooden box, into which those requiring orders, as well as those wanting payment, are aiike confined; an open room, with two counters, would have afforded far greater facilities for business, and done away with the liabilities of robbery, for the furthering of which the box is so admirably adapted. When it is remembered that this loss of time falls chiefly on those parties to whom time is money, the necessity of the alteration will be clearly seen. Some plan surely might be found by which all these orders would be payable at any post •office with out the necessity for " advice;" any banker's clerk who has been sufficiently long at business to understand the mere routine of the office, would be able, in the course of half an hour, to make such changes as would completely do away with the cause the present complaint. The Hibernia packet-ship has brought New York papers, to the 24th ult., two days later than that previously received, the chief extracts from which will be fiaind elsewhere. The steam packet from Boston is now expected hourly. (From The Suit of Last Night.)

FOREIGN,; The French papers are still full of the elections. On Wed nesday morning 422 ruminations were known in Paris; 249 are styled Conservatives, and 173 are classed in the Opposition by the ministerial papers; but the Opposition do not admit this classification as absolute, nor, indeed, will it be possible to have a correct opinion of the strength of the majority until a trial comes on before the Chamber. There remain 42 more eh ctious to be known. We have advices from Madrid of the 6th instant. A warm debate took place in the Chamber of Deputies, in which Senor Silva insisted upon knowing from the Ministers if the Government had done nothing to neutralise the efforts of a late treaty between Great Britain and Portugal, which he represented as detrimental to Spanish commerce ; and if it was true that England had made to the Spanish Government similar proposals to which Portugal had assented. El Conde de Almodovar replied, that no official in formation of the treaty in question had been given to the Go vernment, but that when it should be officially known, the Go vernment would then make such representations as the interests of the country called for. Senor Gonzales declared that Eng land had made no proposals for a treaty of commerce, and that he (S. Gonzales) had been most desirous for the presentation of the law on cottons. A letter from Gibraltar, June 2?, says :—" An officer of the American Commodore having solicited an audicnee of the Em peror of Morocco, fnr the purpose of representing to him the complaints of two agents of the United States, was refused al though, it must be admitted, in terms of extreme politeness. The representative of England had an audience on the same day, the motive of which is not known. The American officer im mediately embarked on board a Spanish vessel, to report the result of his mission to Commodore Morgan. A Constantinople letter of the 22d ult., in the Augsburgls Gazette, states that the Sultan gave an audience to Choshrew Pacha on the 20th. This circumstance had led to a general rumour that Chosrew had again been taken i n to favour. 'PMETARY. The Queen' s P i ote A cti RLI A on Bill wen N t through all its remaining stages last night in the House of Lords, was sent down to the House of Commons with amendments suggested by Lord Campbell, and was returned to the House of Lords with the amendments agreed to. In the sew observations which were made on the Bill, both Lord Brougham and the Duke of Wellington expressed their deep regret at the death of the Duke of Orleans. There was some conversation about education in Ireland, which elicited a difference of opinion between the Rev. Pre lates as to what a Protestant clergyman ouOit to do touching reading extract:, from the Bible. The Archbishop of Armagh contended that the Protestants could not touch the books used in the national schools without being defiled, and the Bishop of Norwich contended that they contained the whole faith of the Church of England. The New South Wales Bill wa3 read a second time. The Mines and Collieries Bill was committed pro finina. At Eight o'Clock their Lordships adjourned. In the Commens, at'Mr. Labouchere's suggestion, the Vice- President of the Board of Trade moved, in a Committee of the whole House, certain resolutions relative to the duty on cement stone when exported, which resolutions will become a Bill to alter the tariff. It is discreditable to the Ministers that they have ruined classes and trade without even knowing it. The ce ment makers have succeeded in making Mr. Gladstone undo his own work. Mr. C. Wood asked whether it was the law that light coin might be defaced, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer could not answer. The House was engaged the whole evening voting supplies, and it got through twiny items. There was some wrangling about the vote for education. Sir R. Inglis attacked Lord Wharncliffe, and Sir James Graham defended him, and defended the system of education against an attack of the over-righteous Baronet. He sneered also at Sir Hobert as a better defender of the Church than the Bishops. There was some boggling, too, about the grant for ilaynooth, which occupied the house till a late hour. It. sat till Three o'Clock. TVIOII'EY—T344I.O2—CO.r.vIIVIERCE,. The fiftieth anniversaty of the Tower Hamlets Dispensary took place on Thursday at the West India Dock Tavern, Black wall. From the Report it appeared that this charity had ad mitted since its establishment 53,576 patients, of whom 40,90.3 had been cured. The annual number of persons relieved is 1,500. The shipwrights in the Tyne have struck during the List few dais, in consequence of the shipbuilders having determi ne d t o give 21s. instead us 245. per week; further stagnation in trade has of course ensued. I....tters from iturslem, in the Potteries, state that not less than 6,000 workmen have turned out, owing to reductions of wages. 'the collieries, iron -works, and potteries have been visited by them, :Ind those men who had accepted the reduced scale of wages, subjected to per!oi.al violence. Yeomanry and military are now parading the districts. s ZCC.i.ESZASITICAL. The Pro• Church-rate party were defeated at Bradford last Saturday. The Hight Rev. Dr. Charles Dickenson, Bishop of Meath, formerly domestic chaplain to the Archbishop Whateley, died at his see house, ArdGraccan, on Tuesday. His elevation to his bishopric took place in 1840. AND MILITARY. Thursday experiments were made in the Woolwich Marshes on one of Porter's anchors of 60i cwt., the largest ever made on that principle. On being placed in the testing frame, it stood the immense strain of 59i tons, with a deflection of only one inch and seven-eighths, proving it to be sufficient for a war frigate of 90 guns. Aews of four vessels having been lost has arrived within these few days. 3he brig Whitehaven, lost off Fayal, but the mastic and crew saved ; 250 tons of coal went (town, but in sured. The ship Canadian, 100 tons of slate, lust near Bow. castle, crew saved, uni n sur e d. Th e M ary and Ann, wrecked near Alburg, loss 13,000/., the crew saved. The Louis Phi lippe, a French steamer, wrecked at Havre, valued at several thousands. ZILVT ANI3 POLICE. James Robertson, indicted for the wilful murder of James Liddle, at Monkwcarmouth, by striking him on the head with a hammer, was fuund guilty of manslaughter, at the Durham assizes on Wednesday, and sentenced to transportation for life. Mr. Coppock, solicitor, of St. James's, having on Thursday en tered the Maryle bone- office, and apprised the sitting Magistrate of an intended duel between Mr. Turner, of West Paddington, and Mr. %V. C. Brooks, of Manchester, the Magistrate issued a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Turner, who was held in bail to keep the peace, himself in 5001. and two sureties in 2501. each. Wilhail Webb, a labourer in the employment of Messrs. Noble and Mee, farmers, at Peckham Rye, was brought up at Union-hall on Thursday, charged with attempting to rob and murder James White, who now lies doubtful of recovery at St. Thomas's Hospital. It appeared that it was the custom of Webb to sleep in a barn on the premises, and on the night in question a man entered through an aperture leading from an adjoining barn, who laid himself down beside him on the hay, afterwards struck him a violent blow, with a sharp wea p on , on the back part of the head, covering him with blood, as he was disco%ered, and rendering him insensible. The fact of the prisoner being at that spot at the time was proved, and a bill hook belonging to him identified. He was remanded on the evidence adduced, and it is hoped in a few days the wounded man will be able to come forward as a witness. _ _ Nx AttICS. A monument is about to be raised in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise, Paris, over the remains of Admiral Sir Sidney Smith, subscriptions being in progress for the purpose. iaTracaltle sc3CENTI.rxc. On opening a quarry, or pit, in the parish of Hartington, Derbyshire, a finely variegated shell, crystal, and strata marble has been discovered, containing a quantity of fossil substances. In consequence of the death of the Duke of Orleans, the per formances announced at the St. James's Theatre fur last even ing did not take place. COtTiLT--.FASHION) ALE.

His eldest son by his first marriage, Mr. Henry S. Wilmot, bora in 1801, succeeds him. He married secondly, in 1817, Mrs. Craufurd, widow of Major• General A. Craufurd. INCENDIARY FIRES. APPREHENSION AND CONVICTION OF THE INCENDIARIES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. For the last two months considerable excitement has existed among the inhabitants, particularly the agriculturists of the quiet market town of Havant, situated on the south-eastern extremity of Hampshire, in Dmsequence of several incendiary fires having taken place, and letters of an inflamatory and threatening description having been found in the streets, the authors of which had escaped detection until Monday last, when another fire was attempted, which led to a scrutinizing and severe inquiry, and the suspected incendiaries, Charles Parrott and William Sparkes ( Mr. Charles Longcroft's servant) having undergone examination on Wednesday, and corroborative, evi dence having come forward, they were fully committed. Par rott was taken at four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, and con fined in the cage, but at the time of his apprehension no sus; i cion was entertained against Sparkes. the Magistrate, Sir John A. Ommanney, however, having heard that the two were ' intimate, sent for the latter to interrogate him a s t o hi s know ledge of Parrott's movements on the nights of the several fires. What answers he made to the questions put to him does not appear, but it is certain that no suspicion att ac h e d to hi m unt il Parrott was sent for from " durance vile " after the examina tions had been takeh. It was four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon before the inquiry had been completed, and before Parrott was confronted with Isis accusers. lie had, theretere, twenty. four hours of s olitary reflection, and the result shows that he entertained a correct anticipation of what was going forward, for he had no sooner entered the presence of the Magistrate than he at once denounced Sparkes as the perpe trator of the fire at Stevens's barn. "Ah !" said Sparkes, "if I had Leen taken up first, I would not have told upon you." Re crimination followed, and the result is both were committed upon each other's evidence, or rather their own confessions. The investigation has called forth some of the most ex traordinary and unaccountable traits of the human cha racter.. It appears, on the strictest and most severe interroga tion, that neither of these wretches had any motive whatever for perpetrating these diabolical acts. They were asked, over and over a g ain, why they committed the fires ; and their reply was invariably "we had no motive." And me very extraordinary feature in the case is, that Sparkes has been a confidential ser vttnto and AI r . that Lon he g e ro ft has, the beendeputed, clerk, owing to th e fi forthe last e o ten n years,. deuce reposed in him by his master, to watch his premises for the last five or six weeks ! TheYita - WcOnfeWe ' crthat, on the night of Stevens's fire, being the second out of three which have taken place within six weeks, they took some lucifer matches to the barn, and en deavoured by their means to set fire to the thatch ; that they could not do so, whereupon they went to Sparkes's lodgings, which are about two hundred yards distant, and procured a candle and lanthorn ; that they returned to the barn, stuck the lighted candle in the roof, left the lauthorn behind them, and ran away.
