tittiti WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. a; 42 minutes after 2•} Evening ...... R minutes after 3. All Advertisements of a Disgusting Character, or Xinmoral Tendency, are excluded from the Columns of "The Sun." and abroad, without any extraordinary means. The army is in a good condition; the navy is sufficient for all present useful purposes; the police is effective; the magistracy are vigilant ; and all the functions of the Executive are diligently performed. If there be aught to complain of, it is that the Government meddles too much; thoughlts "motives be humane. We desiderate, too, that the Government should trouble itself less about other nations ; but with these exceptions, the Executive Government not only administers the law firmly and impartially, but where its discretion is' re lied on it acts discreetly and prudently. Though this is a fair description of the Executive Government, and completely exonerates her MAJESTY from all blame on account of the condition of the people, the Government, considered as a whole, is ne vertheless responsible for the terrible calamities which now oppress the lower classes. In truth it combines both the legislative and the executive powers, and it is by making laws, not by executing them, that it causes these evils. The theory of our Constitution is the complete separation of the legislative from the execu tive powers (and many fine sentences have been turned to show that the Constitution would be over thrown when the Legislature was more corrupt than the Executive) ; but the practice of our Constitution is to unite both the legislative and executive powers in the hands of the same Minister. The instant he ceases, to control the Legislature he is obliged to resign his post as Minister. Sir. ROBERT PEEL, for example, and his Cabinet, are exclusively the authors of the Income-tax, the present Corn-law, and the Tariff; and they will carry these laws into execution. We re peat, therefore, as a truth of some importance, that the executive power in England executes the laws fairly and honestly, and it is the legislative power, placed in the hands of the same Ministers who wield the executive power, by which the evils we suffer are caused. It would be inexcusable, in fact, in any Minister who can govern the Houses of Parliament, to strive after any end without their sanction. Why should he be a tyrant against law, when he can clothe his will, be it what it may, with the solemn sanction of the law ? Why, for example, should he summon the Lon don bankers, and compel them, on pain of imprison ment, or banishment, or death, to give him any sum he requires—as the Grand Vizier calls to him the Ar menians of Constantinople—when he can, by means of an obsequious House of Commons, procure a law to make every man give him 3 per cent. of his income ? Or why should he trouble himself, like a celebrated Ca liph, to visit his city at night to notice that order is observed, and put an end to licentiousness, when he can, from apparently the best motives, procure a law to close all public-houses at any hour he thinks tit ? It is not the executive, therefore, it is the legislative power—it is the law itself, not the mode of adminis tering it, which is, we conclude, the source of the public unhappiness. The complaints of the 'people, at present, consis tently with our remarks, are not directed against the throne, nor against the Ministers as the servants of the throne, but against class legislation. The laws are faulty, whether they be the offspring of sordid selfishness or of ignorance. The Monarch and the mo narchical power are the creatures of the laws, and, to produce prosperity and happiness in the community, the laws must be amended. That we should imme diately have better laws by enlarging the basis of the constituency, and new forming the Legislature, we are not prepared to say ; but when we find the bulk of the people sunk in poverty and wretchedness, we are driven to the conclusion that even the mob could not make more injurious laws than those which now We are somewhat afraid, while the notion is encouraged that every possible evil can be repressed or cured by laws, that, by recasting the Legislature, we should rather effect change than ensure improve ment. exist. It is now plain that there are too many laws, and hat a Legislature, consisting of a great body of ac ;lye, busy, stirring men, such as the two Houses of Parliament, or such as we should have under any more popular mode of constructing it, must add to the evil. For this prurient desire to encumber the statute-book with new regulations, which is only a mode of one man meddling with the affairs of an other, we confess we know no remedy ; but we hope something from the conviction of their inutility, which experience will bring. We shall only hint further, that laws to protect rights, to do justice be tween man and man, are very different from law 3 to regulate trade. It has been often demonstrated that trade has laws of its own, while the passions of man require to be regulated and subdued. Though it may be necessary, therefore, flr the la ,vgiver to prescribe and enforce the duties of man to man, for him to regulate trade is mere-surplusage. It is a wanton interference with that which nature has ordained and regulates, by establishing different climates, and adapting different countries to different productions. When we are able to keep the law maker from interfering with trade, howevei• the Legislature may be composed, we shall have obtained the means to relieve the statute-book of a vast num ber of unnecessary laws. In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr. HumE, in the absence of Mr. `WALLACE, presented a petition, signed by some hundreds of the inhabitants of the bo rough of Paisley, complaining of the change made in the mode of relieving the starving poor by the Government Commissioner. As we consider it of great importance that general attention should be paid to the.cries of the pour in a season of general distress, we shall proceed to make our readers acquainted with the .grievances for which. relief is sought from the House of Commons. The petitioners state that, for ten months past, thousands of the most industrious inhabitants of that town, after selling and pawning every article of wearing apparel that they could dispose of, have been entirely dependent for support upon the contributions of the charitable. The mode of relief was by a Committee composed of the local magistrates and clergymen, and, of our own knowledge, we can state, that a more charitable and actively benevo lent body of men do not exist than the clergy and ma giatracy of Paisley. To spare as much as possible the feelings of the poor people, many of whom had been in very respectable circumstances, and hundreds of whom had never before sought relief, the Committee appointed tickets to be given to each individual, entitling the bearer to the small pittance of one shilling and twopence .a week, being but twopence for daily sustenance. For this small sum, inadequate to sustain nature, such as were able to work, were compelled to labour ten hours daily. Frequent meetings of the starving operatives were held, and the Committee was petitioned to increase the weekly allowance. While these complaints were making, Commissioner TWISLETON arrived in Paisley to superintend the distribution of the relief fund. He at once informed the poor people that relief was only to be given in meal, bread, and potatoes, and that, if they did not like that, no part of the dona tions contributed by the QUEEN and her Ministers were . to be advanced. The humiliation of carrying their al lowance of provisions from a public chari table . store, was deeply felt by a . population previously supported, and supporting others, by honest industry. Hunger, however, compelled them to submit. But having neither fire to cook the oatmeal, nor salt to flavour it, nor soap with which to cleanse their poor ap parel, they represented to the Committee that some trifle of money should be given them to purchase these nezes series. The Committee, seeing the reasonableness of this demand, resolved that a fourth of the pit lance granted them should be given in money, but at the end of one week the Commis sioner rescinded it, and - apprised the Committee that they had no more power to interfere, as the Government had taken upon itself to manage and apply the relief fund. Having assumed the functions of the Committee, he confined the allowances to bread, meal, and potatoes, in the proportion of six shillings weekly to married men • with families,. that being the maximum. As porridge could not be eaten without salt, or cooked without fire, the poor creatures who received this were obliged to sell part of it at. 2.0 pet cent. loss to provide these necessaries, by which the sum for their maintenance is reduced to the wretched pittance of one penny half a farthing a day ! When remonstrated with, the Com missioner told the Relief Committee that in treating the unhappy sufferers thus inhumanly his object was to make them as miserable as possible, in order to drive them to locate themselves elsewhere. The petitioners declare that this thousands of the starving poor would cheerfully du, but that they know not where to find employment ; and that, fearing that such usage may drive the people to desperation, they implore the House of Commons to interfere, so as to obtain for the miserable artisans more adequate relief, administered in a way less off ens i ve to their feelings. This is the substance of the Paisley petition, to which we invite the attention of the House of Commons and the country. We know not what conditions Si r U. PEEL, Sir GRAHAM, and:such of their colleagues as contributed towards the Paisley 'relief fund, attached, to their donations ; but we feel perfectly assured that none whatever attached to the gift of our gracious QUEEN. She, at least, never dreamt of making her benevolent donation a means of humiliating and putting to shame her hard-working and loyal subjects of Paisley. We state distinctly that we regard the refusal of the Com missioner .tu place the QUEEN'S donation at the disposal .." of the Relief Committee, as an insult, on the part of those under whose orders he acted; to the sacred person, of her MAJESTY. We will not mince matters. The QUEEN bountifully and benevolently con tributed to the Relief Fund raised by the Committee without attaching any condition to her gift, and it was an insult to the QUEEN to command that it should be withheld from the famishing poor if they insisted upon obtaining fuel to cook their scanty allowance of food. Nor' shall the QUEEN remain ignorant of the way in which her benevolent donation was disposed of. Her MAJESTY shall hear of the conditions upon which only the famishing poor of Paisley were to have any part of her Royal bounty extended to them. As to the Mem bers of the Cabinet, we leave them to explain the con ditions attached to their donations, to the House of Commons. We trust some Member will have the man liness to give them an opportunity of doing so at the first sitting of the House. We entirely disapprove of the appointment of a Com missioner to superintend the relief of the starving poor of Paisley. That duty should have been left to the local magistracy, assisted by the clergy. These persons know the temper and disposition of the people better ; they can tell exactly which case of distress is the more urgent; and they only can know when it may be desirable to relax the rules of relief laid down for all ordinary oc casions. Relieving the poor brings them in familiar con tact with them, and acquaints them with their indi vidual habits, thoughts, and feelings. These are most important reasons why the relief of local distress should ever be entrusted to the local authorities. An other good reason is, that the local magistracy and priest hood have- excellent opportunities afforded them for instilling honest and virtuous principles into the minds of the recipients of public charity. They know whom to admonish, whom to encourage, whom to spare the distressing exhibition of woes, long concealed from every eye but the all-seeing sleep less eye of GOD. It is not alone cold, hard charity, consisting of so many mouthsful of digestible material food, that a starving people want. They want sym pathy, words of kindness, and encouragement to hoi,e fur better times, hardly less than food for the belly. The people starve whose minds are not fed as well as their bodies. . . We seldom remember any measure adopted by a Go vernment which caused such general and well-founded complaints as the late bungling financial trick of Mr HENRY GOULBURN. Accounts from the country repro-• sent the proclamation against light gold as even more injurious there than in Landon. In small towns and villages it has paralyzed trade, and, independent of the alarm excited, his caused a serious loss to those least able to bear it. Various schemes for meeting the evil, and retaliating on the -Bank of England, and the Go vernment, have been suggested, and some go so far as to recommend a run upon, the Bank for gold, in order to bring the selfish concoctors of this unjust and mis chievous scheme to their senses. Unjust certainly it is, in the strongest sense of the word ; for not only are the last holders of light sovereigns made 'to suffer the loss which should have been borne by the public, but not the slightest preparation has been made for meeting a panic which all men or common sense might have fore seen. Nay the very parties who have been privy to the plot are increasing the evil by withholding any little relief in their power. When there is abun dance of silver in the country, and, the distress of the working classes generally is greater than at any period in the memory of man, a wise and paternal Government would have taken these circumstances into account, and, by having a large quantity of silver coin ready for cir culation,"would thus have effectually prevented the poor man from being robbed a second time. This has not been done, and the Bank even refuses to issue to any extent the silver coin in their possession, thereby wantonly adding to the original injury. The CliexcELLOn. of the EXCHEQUER adds insult to in jury, by pointing out the 56th of GEORGE 111. as a remedy for one part of the evil. "I am glad," said he the other night, " to take this opportunity of making it known that those who refuse to take the legal coin of the realm are liable to imprisonment." This is great consolation, indeed, to tell a poor man who has not two sovereigns to rub against each other, that he may bring an action against a rich tradesman, who refuses the legal coin, except at a loss of five or ten per cent. We are only surprised that the House of Commons, did not drown the voice of the speaker by one universal shout of scorn and indignation. The poor man, who is the greatest sutler...l- in this matter, cannot go to law. The law affords him little or no protection in ninety ' nine cases out of a hundred ; and the only exception to this rule is, when some enormous act of injustice happens to 'rouse publie sympathy.. We believe, in short, there is but one opinion among all impartial men on this ill-advised measure, and that opinion is truly expresz•ed in the following extract from a provincial journal :—" We do maintain," says the Cheltenham Ex aminer, " that such a state of things is positively unjust; it entails a serious loss upon persons in trade, and to those in the lower grade of life the injustice has been much greater. Of all the acts of the present Government this on the currency has shown most glaringly their short-sightedness and unstatesmatilike qualities." The French Journals contain no news of political in terest. We subjoin some miscellaneous intelligence from them : PARIS, JUNE 21.—The Prince de Joinville arrived on Saturday at Lyons, and on Sunday morning embarked in a steam .boat on his way to Toulon. The Duke de Montpensier, according to the Memorial of Pau ' will pass the season of the waters in the Pyrenees , as ho did last year. Apartments are being prepared for his Royal Highness in the chateau of Pau. A report, which created some sensation, was current yes terday evening in the diplomatic circles. It was stated that the Republic had been proclaimed at Barcelona, and the muni cipal authorities changed. The troops of the garrison had, however, it was said, succeeded in putting down the move ment, though not without some blood being stied.— Con siitutionnel.

Clause B' declares that all manufactures of Jersey, Guernsey, Sark, or Man, made of foreign mate terials liable to a duty when imported, shall be con sidered for the purposes of duty as the produce of, and ha ported from a foreign country. Manufacturers of linen and cotton in the Isle of Man are exempt. Clause C establishes a drawback for foreign rough rice when ex ported which shall have paid duty on entrance. The drawback is to be equal to one-fourth of the duty paid on the rough rice. Clause p gives a considerable ad vantage to the holders of foreign corn in bond, by allow ing a certain per centage for waste. On wheat, barley, and rye, kept in bond o:,e month and less than three months, 1 per cent. is allowed ; three months and less than six, 2 per cent ; six months and less than twelve, 21; twelve months and upwards, 3 per cent. On oats the allowance is, one month and less than three, 2;1 per cent.; three months and less than six, 3 per cent ; six and less than twelve, 4i ; twelve and upwards, 5 per cent. On Spanish wheat, barley, and oats, and wheat and barley kiln dried abroad, the allowance is only one half ; on rye kiln dried there is no allowance. This regulation will render the owners of corn liable to pay less duty on the quantities they hold by the per centages we have mentioned, according to the length of time it has been warehoused. No such regulation we believe previously existed, and it will confer a great advantage on the corn dealers, S di' ia fl CV NEW L-* AND %Albite aIit MOIL " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The French journals teem with speculations as to the result of the elections. No other question so much en gages the attention of the Government. The National states that by the report which precedes the new American tariff, it appears that the representa tions made by the French Minister at Washington, an nounced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Cham ber of Deputies, has not had the slightest effect upon the American Government. "In a word," says the National, "the new tariff imposes an increased duty of 10 per cent. upon woollen, and from 10 to 40 per cent. on silk goods. The export of French merchandise, generally so brisk at this season, is completely sus pended ; several woollen manufacturers have dismissed their workmen ; and a number of weavers, formerly em ployed for the American market, are completely idle for want of work." _ _ The Courrier Francais announces the arrival in' Bel grade of the British Consul-General in Servia, Mr. Fon blanque, who has already remitted his credentials to Prince Michael. French and English travellers are be coming numerous in the principality. The British Con sul-General purposes visiting the interior of the country to study its resources and advantages. A letter from Madrid of the 14th instant says :—" A project for the establishment of a bank on a large scale is in a forward state of realization. There are to be 10,000 shares of 500 dollars each, and no loans to Go vernment are to be effected. Discount of bills, loans on 'goods or mortgage, and the recoveries of moneys due to Government will be the exclusive business : 25 per cent. of the nominal capital is to be paid down by the share holders, and the bank is to have the privilege of issuing bank notes during fifteen years." The Austrian Observer of the 14th instant confirms the intelligence, given in the Augsburgh Gazette, relative to the issuing of Treasury bills of 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 florins, bearing an interest of three per cent. Prince Metternich had received a most gracious later from the King of Prussia, inviting him to assist at the inaugura tion of the works of the Cathedral of Cologne. The mines of Servia were about being worked by means of n company of shareholders, under the direction, of a German ennmeer , llerr lteckendorf. lianiatinazivralax. T4e Peers met yesterday, but transacted no business of importance. In the Commons, on the motion of Mr., Wilson Patten, the standing order which requires the projectors of rail ways to give notice, in the months of , February and March, of their intention to introduce a Bill into Parlia ment was rescinded, which leaves the promoters of such Bills subject to the same standing order as the promoters of other private -Bills, and requires them. to give nctice in OctObei and NOVember. Mr. O'Connell's motion for the'llOuge to authorise the Belfast Committee to appoint agents, was withdrawn on the. representation of Sir E. Peel, that the Committee ought to do what was proper on its own authority, though he would not promise anything on behalf of the Treasury. Mr. Ferrand made himself again conspicuous on this occasion, as if he intended to set up for the leadership of the ultra-Tories. • A more daring and suit ableleader they cannot have—we recommend the ultra- Tories to take - him. In answer to a question, the Earl of Lincoln said the steps in front of the National Gallery were now ready to be opened, but it would not be convenient to open them till Nelson's Monument was further advanced. From a little conversation which occurred on th:: latter point, we inter that the Committee for carrying it into effect are likely to run short of funds. Mr. H. C. Bailli© moved for papers relative to the origin of 'the war in Affghanistan, which brought the whole of the circumstances of that affair under the notice of the House of Commons. The debate, which is else where referred to, occupied the House the whole even ing. The papers were refused. The House sat till Two o'Clock. . PUBLIC OPINION. The Times, after recapitulating some of its objections to an Income-tax, goes on to observe—" Nor must we omit to notice the other objection which lies against this in common with all taxes en income—a serious and painful one—we mean the in quisitorial nature of the tax--and therein the temptation which it holds out to the commission of fraud and perjury. Now, although we do not of course say or think that the persons com mitting the, crimes in question have any shadow of right to im pute to the circumstances in which they are placed the guilt of what is really their own wickedness, or to charge those who have brought the temptation on them with causing or parti cipating in their crimes ; yet we do think and say that a very serious responsibility is incurred by those who, without thejustification of—what alone caa justify such a course—ab solute necessity, place others in a position in which they must be tempted, more or less, to the commission of such crimes as these. Oa the plea of necessity, and necessity alone, can such a measure as this be justified ; and when that necessity shall cease, then the continuance of the tax will become inde fensible." The Chronicle concludes a leadihg article on the present distressed tote of the country, with the following significant passage :—" There is no hope of relief to trade from any of the measures of Sir Robert Peel. The tariff will produce no i;,,sinediate effects; and, as to the Corn Bill, it has turned out a complete failure. The manufacturing and trading classes view it as absolutely worse than the former Bill, as it equally keeps foreign corn out of the home market, while it also pre vents moneyed men from importing corn with a view to profit, by the chance of a nominal duty. The belief of the people in the seats of commerce and manufactures is, that if Sir Robert Peel allows Parliament to separate with the present Corn Bill, it will be utterly impossible to preserve the peace of the country." The Post says:--" We observe that the Morning Chronicle is doing all it can to paint the state of distress in the manu facturing districts in the very darkest and most frightful colours, and states that the depth of the distress should be a sufficient excuse for departure from Tery policy. In order to estimate the reasonableness of this it must be borne in mind that the country has been gradually brought to this state of depression under the operation of Whig policy, and that ever since it has been understood that Whig principles in respect to trade had been adopted, and would be acted upon by the pre sent Government, the distress has assumed a darker character. In truth, the distress is one of the strongest reasons why Tory policy ought not to be departed from. That policy is to pro tect home employment, even at the expense of making the con sumer pay dearer ; while the Whig rule would seek the cheap commodity for the benefit of the consumer, although by so doing the home producer be thrown out of emp loyment." We take the following from the Herald :—England is in a false position at Constantinople and Syria, as she is indeed everywhere whert she interferes in the internal affairs of foreign states. It is most sincerely to be hoped that the Porte will have the firmness to resist the meddling of its allies in Syrian politics. The lurks are their own safest and surest friend,; andloreign interference in the government of Ireland is quite as justifiable as foreign interference in the severnment of Syria. The Syrian policy of England is to us wholly unintelligible; we have sent a Protestant Bishop to Jerusalem, and we have appointed a Roman Catholic Consul at Damascus ! Well might Lord Bowden express his 'inability to understand what we were really about in the Asiatic coast of the Mediterranean." IVZODIMY-TaIIDE-CODINLERCN.

The House of Commons was last night almost ex-. elusively occupied with the affairs of Alfghanistan Mi. H. C. BAILIE, in moving for fin iher papers on the subject, condemned the policy of the late Ministry for invading that countiy. His views were seconded by :1 1 r. D'lsßAErn, who did not suffer the oppor tunity of attacking Lord PALMERSTON and his foreign policy to escape. The task of defending the Whigs naturally fell' to Sir JOHN HonnousE, who, in their Administration, presided over the affairs of India; It was the general opinion that he executed this task successfully, and made out a far better case for the Indian Govern ment—relying on the authority of its agents, and supposing their representations to be the fitting guide of its pol Ly—than was supposed possible. Lord JocrnAN followed Sir J. HOBHOUSE without replying to him, and then :Mr. HoGG made a fervent and energetic speech against the Affghan war, while be declared that he.regretted the motion was brought foi and at a time when there should be no indulgence it declamation, but when the energies of the country should be put fiiftlt to punish the foulest perfidy, and avenge tir:! most atrocious murder. Sir R. PEEL objected to producing the papers moved for ; they referred to several unpleasant matters in which Russian agents had .been involved, and as we are at present on the bes t of terms with Russia it would be wrong. to run the risk of reviving past dif ferences. Lord PALMERSTON defended the policy of the late Government, and concluded an able speech by expressing an opinion that we had now regained our superiority in Afghanistan, and by declaring that he should hear with reluctance of our troops spreading the ravages of war over that country, if we were not to keep it as a barrier for our Indian empire. The debate was on the whole satisfactory, as evincing in all our statesmen a proud conviction that great Britain has nothing to fear for her supremacy in India, as well as a determination to maintain it. Sir _ROBERT PEEL said England could, he believed, retain that em pire, though Russia and Prussia were not in alliance with her, and in despite of all efforts to wrest it from her hands. He drew hope and energy from the pa tient endurance of Sir ROBERT SALE and. from the heroism of Sir ROBERT SALE'S lady. To her it seemed beautifully complimentary to hear the Prime Minister of England, at the distance of 10,000 miles, drawing from her letter and her energy his hopes of the pre7- servation of our Indian empire. Her courage inspired our statesmen with energy. It is melancholy, indeed, to refie.:t that Lady SALE may never hear of the ho nour conferred on her, but should she have been pre served, it will he a rich reward of which she could never dream. In the end Mr. BAILIE withdrew his motion. It cannot be for one moment doubted or denied that the law in England, generally speaking, is fairly and impartially adininistered. Justice is tempered with mercy. It is very rare that undue severity, not pre scribed by the law, is complained of. More frequently the complaint is- that criminals receive too much leniency, and the laW is not rigidly enough enforced. This is a truth which ought now to be remembered. Neither is the Government, in respect to political opinions, or political opponents, severe. We speak not of the Tory Administration, or the Whig_ Admi irstraion, but of the general character latterly of the Administration in the hands -of both parties. The Press, though it have not lost its audacity, nor much abated of personalities, is suffered, unprosecuted, to pursue its own mrse ; and public meetings, even midnight meetings,- with rare exceptions, have been freely held. Partisans may complain that one is de serving. man not, and another undeserving man is, rewarded ; the distribution of patronage cannot please the disappointed ; but when that is nearly all that ever is or can be urged, we are bound to con- . elude that the Exe9ttive Government is mild, honest, and impartial. Nor is there much to complain of in the adminis tration of affairs in other respects, in Which: perhaps, the la►v lays down no rules. Peace has latterly been pr..served under difficult circumstances, b o th at *nue ~~` THE SUN, -LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1842. LAW AND POLECE. Owing to an order of the Poor.law Commissioners, com manding the transmission, after every meeting of the district guardians, of a copy of any special minute on the books, the Braintree Board of Guardians considered the order " ob noxious," and, refusing to comply with it, resigned. A pawnbroker, named Folkard, was on Wednesday tined 20s. and three times the value of the shoes, and costs, at the Mansion House, for receiving in pledge a pair of regimental shoes con trary to the statute. The following circumstances transpired on Wednesday at the Clerkenwell office : —Mr. John James, of Alfred-place, Bed ford-square, having a bill for • 141. due on the preceding day, tendered a ten-pound note and four sovereigns to the clerk who called for payment, but who refused the sovereigns, without even weighing them, alleging that he could detect their light netts by appearance ; the consequence was, that the bill went away, and was noted for non-payment. The Magistrate said that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, as it was not an act for which the clerk could be punished criminally ; but if an action were brought against him for recovery of the amount of the sovereigns, and the tender proved, there was no doubt he would have to pay the whole of the costs. PINE ARTS. The Chinese collection, ;o; exhibiting at Hyde Park-corner, has cost the proprietor, Mr. Dunn, a princely fortune to pur chase. One of the most interesting objects of the collection is a shrine of one of the principal Chinese temples, containing the Triad of Budna, San Paon, and Fuh, the three precious Budhas —past, present, and to come ; also a Chinese summer-apart ment, with its characteristic furniture, and in which a sunny landscape glances through the window. LITERILIZX AND SCIENTIFIC. A Christ's Hospital scholar, Mr. H. J. Sumner Maine who left that institution as one of the exhibitioners at Michaelmas, 1841, for Pembroke Colleg e, has had no less than three of the annual prizes adjudged to him this year at Cambridge. SPORTING. The great cricket-match between the Marylebone Club and five players selected from the' Northern Counties of England, terminated on Tuesday , evening, at Lord's, in favour of the former, by a majority of 43 runs. C 0 O,T--I".ELSIXIONABLE. The Marquis of . Northampton arrived in town on Monday last. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry gave a white bait dinner on Tuesday at the Crown and Sceptre, Greenwich, to a distinguished party of fashionables. The King and Queen of the Belgians are expected to remain a month in England. The Duke of Manchester is expected to arrive at Grosvenor Gate to-day from Paris. ::The Archbishop of Armagh had a large dinner-party on Wed nesday in Charles-street, St. James's. • !VIISCZIAsES.NICOUS. A mill at Manchester, the praperty of Mr. James Whit worth, was burnt to the ground on Friday last. A boy, it is said, has been' buried in the ruins, and about 250 hands have been thrown out of employ by this calamity. The Hon. Thomas James Harley Rodney succeeds to the title and estates of his brother, Lord Rodney, who died last week, his late Lordship having left no issue by his wife. The first Peer was the celebrated Admiral, who received his title fur his victoi y over the French fleet under the Count de Grasse, in 1783, for which he was granted a pension of 2,0001. per annum to himself and his successors. During a thunderstorm in Radnorshire last Sunday, fifteen head of cattle were struck dead, value 3001., and the seed in a number of fields washed away. A floricultural exhibition and fancy fair took place on Wednes day in the gruunds attached to toe almshouses lately erected at Walham-green, for the purpose of increasing the funds of the institution, which was founded in 1828. There were altogether upwards of 3,000 visitants, among whom were several of the elite, and a ball and illumination in the evening. The Archbishop of Alby died last week at his Archiepiscopal Palace, aged 55.

The only alteration in Foreign Securities was an advance in the prices of Dutch Bonds, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 52g 528; and the Five per Cents. 101 1011; Belgian remained at 102 103 ; Danish 81 82, and Brazilian 65 66. The report of a further remittance on account of the divi den,d aided by a little jobbing, caused the quotation for Mexi can to advance to 36/ 37*. It may be here remarked:that on each successive arrival of these West India stemers, merchants have experienced the annoyance of passengers being in Lon don, bringing various reports, which influence prices, many hours before the letters are delivered, in consequence of the mail-bags being landed at Falmouth. The great irregularity with which correspondence now arrives from the West Indies renders it imperatively necessary that every means should be adopted to facilitate the delivery of it when off the coast. How ever opinions may differ as to the elegibility of Southampton or Falmouth for a packet-station, it cannot be denied that until a railroad be completed from the latter, the former port must be preferable.

Private letters, by the British Queen, add but little to the in formation from America, published in the second edition of The Sun. The favourable view of commercial affairs received by the Acadia, are now confirmed, although it is admitted that a long period must elapse before they again become brisk. It was generally reported among the private friends of the Presi dent, that all the questions now existing between this country and the United States, would be speedily and satisfactorily ad justed, and these reports were universally credited, in conse quence of the idea that they originated with the President him- self. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The market has been exceedingly heavy dining the morn , ing, and quite without business. This feeling may, perhaps, be traceable to the proceedings at the East India House yester day, as to whether the Company, or the country at large, is to bear the expense of the war in Affghanistan. Should the decision be in favour of the latter of these two propositions, though it would not decide the question, yet it must necessarily Materially influence the proceedings of the House of COM:nous, and, should it be confirmed by them, a loan, or some such measure, would be actually required. The mover of the question is :need to be very sanguine that he will be able to carry it by a large majority, and the debate on Monday is looked forward to with much interest. Prices, which can only be considered to be nominal, are— Consols 911 9l fur the opening, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91i 91%; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 100 A 1004 ; Bank Stock, 166} 167 1 / 2 ; India Bonds, 24 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 45 47 ; New, 40 42 premium. '1 he prices of Foreign Securities remain as yesterday. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52a ; the Five per Cents., 10l 1011. Mexican is quoted 36a 36k, in consequence of the re ported arrival of 50,000 dollars on account of the dividend. In the Share Market—Eastern Counties Debentures 101. 9s. 2d. , the New Shares 61. 9s. 2d. ; and Brighton, 35. Those who had purchased the Three per Cent. Spanish Stock, in the expectation that the quotation would rise upon the declaration of the dividend, being more anxious to get rlcl of it, the market has been much pressed to-day, and it is now marked 22. i. Independently of this, the most sanguine friends of Spain take no pains to conceal their apprehension that the Ministry, as at present formed, possesses not only no stability, but the seeds of dissolution within itself, and that even if it venture to meet the Cortes, a short tune only will elapse when the same scene of confusion which now exists will be re-enacted. The Five per Cents. are marked 21i, but none other description of bonds. The proceedings at Clerkenwell police-office have attracted some attention in the City to-day. They show the extent to which the system at present in operation may be carried, and the serious injury to credit which may result from it. It is thought that had some magisterial proceedings been adopted, much public benefit might have been derived therefrom ; the idea of suing a banker's clerk for the offence of refusing legal coin at common law being considered as highly ridiculous. Accounts to the 3d April have been received from Buenos Ayres. It would appear that the army and the rebels were still opposite each other, but without anything decisive having been done by either party. The Argentine forces had had a skir mish with, and had succeeded in dispersing a party of about 300 Santafecinas, killing and taking prisoner a large number of them, as well as obtaining possession of nearly 280 horses. The birthday of Roses had been observed as a holiday, and had been celebrated with much splendour. If the accounts can be relied upon he would seem to be extremely popular. Exchange on England 3id.

GRAND REVIEW OF THE HOUSE HOLD TROOPS • - -- Yesterday, in consequence of it keine'" supposed that her Majesty would honour the review with her presence, Hyde park exhibited a most numerous assemblage of fashionables in splendid equipages, and thousands of pedestrians, who were mounted on tables, forms, chairs, and temporary platforms, anxious to view the soul .stirring scene, but, contrary to expec • tation, her Majesty did not leave Buckingham Palace. The ground selected for the review was the flat space in the rear of the statue of Achilles, which was kept by a detachment of the 2d Life Giants, assisted by a strong posse of police. A batta lion of the Coldstream Guards occupied the centre of the line; on the right was posted the Grenadier Guards, and the Scotch Fusilier Guards on the left. The Ist Regiment of Life Guards kept the right, and the 2d the left flank; on the ground we observed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Counts Mensdorf, the Duke of Welli .gton, Lords Hill and Bloomfield, the Master-General of the Ordnance, Sir G. Mur ray, and several other distinguished officers. At 10 o'clock His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by his Aides •clu camp, arrived, and was receive , l by the line presenting arms, the bands playing the National Anthem. The troops then broke into divisonal columns, and marched past in slow and quick time; after which several field evolutions were gone through with admirable precision. The Infantry then commenced firing by files, platoon, sections, and subsequently each battalion fired a volley after the troops had again formed into a line. His Royal Highness expressed himself in terms of satis faction to the several commanding officers, at the admirable state of discipline the different regiments were in.

A RUMOUR —There has been for several days Go vernment business before the House of Commons, which the Government has not been very anxious to forward. Either the Ministers do not care about such questions as the important one of bonded corn, or they are not averse from protracting the session. Rumour says the last is the fact. Sir Robert Peel's uneasiness is palpable.; the distress of the cosntry is unrelieved, and being unrelieved will show its disastrous effects on the revenue. There is some reason to suppose that he begins to mistrust the consequences of his OA n measures. His expectations as to the Corn-law are already much disappointed. To this must be added the powerful effect of the representations he is daily receiving from the manufacturing districts. Such circumstances have begotten a rumour, or coun tenance it, that a considerable change has t::.ken place in Sir Robert Peel's views within ten days or a fortnight ; and whereas he was then extremely anxious to bring the session to a close, he is now desirous of keeping Parlia ment together till he sees the effects of his measures. We mention this merely as a rumour, which is not discoun tenanced by the recent conduct of Ministers. Corr.—lt appears from a return laid before Parlia ment, that the amount of duty on .Foreign Wheat, col lec:ed in the United Kingdom from the 29th of April (the date of the passing of the new Corn-law Bill), to sth June, 1842, is 58,700 L, and the quantity of Wheat remaining in warehouse on the sth of June is 1,095,409 quarters. The total quantity of all sorts of grain in warehouse on the same day amounted to 1,367,978 quar ters, and the duty collected for the above-mentioned period to 66,8721., of which sum only 3,265/. has been collected on colonial grain. SARCASTIC.—" Did you present your account to the defendant?" inquired a lawyer of a client. " I did, your honour." "And what did he say?" "He told tne hy to then~ to the devil." " And what did you do then?" " came to you;" MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. CHATHAM.—For the last two drys the greatest activity has prevailed in this garrison, in consequence of an order having been received for an immediate emba:katien of troops for India. This military movement is to fill up the vacancies that have occurred in the different regiments of the line sta.- tinned in the East. The detachments were inspected yes- terday on parade, and the excellent appearance of the men elicited general approbation from the Commandant, Sir Thomas, Willshire. This morning the detachments marched from this garrison for Gravesend, where they embarked at ten o'clock, from the Ordnance-wharf, on board the ships Queen of :- England and Duncan, and consisted of the following corps, with their officers :--9th Regiment of Foot, 80 rank and file, under the command of Captain Robinson, with En sign Siveright ; 31st Regiment, 30 rank and file, under the command of Lieutenant Wilton, with Ens'gn Sparrow and Ensign Robertson ; 50th Regiment, rank and tile, under the command of Lieutenant Malony ; Lieutenant Grimes and Lieutenant 111'Kenzie, making a total of eight officers and 15 0 men which proceeded by the ship Queen of England. Ibe 3d , Regiment of Buffs, 61 rank and file, under the command of Ensign Woods; 10th Regiment, 17 rank and file, under the command of the above officer ; 13th Regiment, 91 rank and file; 39th Regiment, 8 rank and file, under the comman d of Ensign Head, with Ensign Burrows, ' Ensign Wade, and En sign Bradford, of the 13th Regiment ; 39th Regiment - , 51 rank ' command and file, under the of Captain • Strawbengen , with Ensign Newport. Ensign Gaynor, and Ensign Bra—total, 228 men and 9 officers ; they proceeded by the ship Dunc n ' The two vessels are bound for Bengal. Yesterday morning 150 rank and file of the East India Company's Infantry lett the East India Company's depot at Brompton for Gravesen 4 where they embarked on board the ship Harmony, to proceed forthwith for Bombay. The men repeatedly cheered as th e y marched through the streets of Chatham. On Tuesday a company of the 79th left Chatham fur Harwich. On Tues day morning the Chatham division of the Royal Marines, : 7 was inspected in their barrack-square by Major-General • , the Hon. G. P. Lygon, Inspector-General of Cavalry, and who was attended by his Aide-de-Camp, Lord De Ros. The, General having inspected the men oii the parade-ground heavy marching order, they marched thence to Chatharn-liues, where the men underwent a regular field-day. The revievr was attended by several field officers from the garrison. Th e :. number of Marines on the ground was about 500; the prineifi, pal part of them are newly raised ; hut a finer body of m en I is impossible to bring together ; and the able and precise melt ' nor in which the whole of this useful corps went throngn their military duty induced the Inspector-General to R ags t l • F very high encomium on the officers and non- comtnission officers of the division. An elegant dejeuner was after ward ' , given to the officers of the Frederick in the splendid mess - r ol e of the Royal Marines. Sir Frederick Smith, Sir Thomas Vin e shire, and many other officers, honoured the table. Major-Ge' neral Lygon and his Noble Aide-de-Camp were prevented free / : attending, being obliged to leave fur London immediately. • THE LIGHT COINAGE. - In consequence of the allusion made by the Right U "„' the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the House of C o mmenee'' the 'Legality of refusing a sovereign or half-sovereign e f r , due weight, as fixed by the proclamation of May, 18 21, s ou ,' i " her Majesty's Royal proclamation of the 3d of June inst., e't'; ‘ e. 5 dwts. 24 grains per sovereign, and 2 dwts. 13i grains" half-sovereign, and the penalty incurred by so doing , a . tier of publicans and shopkeepers in different parts of the in " tropolis have taken the timely hint. The labouring classe. have been most grossly imposed upon by dealers of every c,if, scription since the issuing of the proclamation , chargl ,1: them is. to ls. 6d. discount in the sovereign, and 6d- , 9d. in the half-sovereign, under the pretence that they " 1 .`"„ ..s light. So great has been the competition among the bag"' e dealers and Jews, that many new offer to take light s; --, vereigns at 19s. 9d. if more than ten are changed o a t time. This has been the means of inducing a g, number of persous to take their gold to the del& —l sooner than to the Bank of England, which will not take it' sums than 20/. In consequence of the impositions practise, E •' speculators on the ignorance of the working classes as to tAti real weight that the gold ought to be, and makings e,,, weights and scales not stamped, the Master of the Mint r o deemed it necessary to issue the following notice to prevent r o t nefarious system :—" Caution to the Public.—Money Weig',, —Whereas, by Act of Parliament of the 14th George 111., ell e , ": 22, entitled 'An Act for regulating and Ascertaining t o Weights to be made use of in Weighing the Gold and Sily ee , ‘: Coin of the Kingdom,' it was amongst other things enact to , • that from and after the 31st of December, 1774, all weight:, be made use of for weighing the gold and silver b u -'' of the realm, shall be regulated by the standard seeigie ' j lodged in the custody of the officer appointed by his l' l , jesty for the stamping of weights at the Royal Mint, .. , 11 stamped with the stamp or mark approved of by the ti t er, l of the Mint, ' and from and after the said 3 1 st of Decelnu ! , ' d .
