It is justly said, that all systems are best tried by their practical results. The present distress of the country cannot, as our opponents say, however, be caused by free trade ; for that has, with only one excep tion, never existed in England. We have had free trade between one part of the. island and another—between Aberdeenshire and Middlesex, between Lancashire and the county of Cork, between London (which has neither walls, nor an ociroi, save on coals) and the country, and the manner in which that free trade has unques tionably promoted the prosperity of the whole empire is a sure indication that free trade with foreign countrie s must be equally beneficial. But we have had no free trade with foreign countries. Such natural diversities of soil, climate, and geogra phical peculiarities as give birth to the trade between Aberdeenshire and Middlesex, and make it advantage ous, are still greater between foreign countries ; and though they have different Governments, that cannot alter or influence those great natural relations on which all trade depends. The trade founded on them,. which is extremely beneficial, between the different counties of the same kingdom, cannot he injurious to the different kingdoms of the earth. Had free trade universally ex isted, it could no more have caused our present distress than the free trade between Manchester and Liverpool ; but it has not existed, and must, therefore, he wholly and completely exonerated from the unfounded charge. Nor can it be said that approximations towards free trade with countries under different Uovernments have caused distress any more than establishing free trade between England a»d Ireland, since 1800, has injured the two countries. The chief approximations towards free trade were made i y Lord WALeAck; and Mr. Ilxsaissos between 1819 and 1826, and between the latter period and 1836 the Ivhole empire increased rapidly in prosperity. The Whigs, in E'er, did little or nothing to promote free trade with foreign countrks. except With China, and that trade was much increased. They reduced taxation, as well as the Tories, which was a step towards freedom ; and while the influence of the reduction lasted there was prosperity in the land. When the influence of the beneficial alterations made by Mr. IIeSEISSoN and of the reductions in taxation ceased, when the Whigs began to levy more taxes, then the baneful restrictions on importing , corn, and sugar, and wine met, and stopped our commerce on every shore ; we could no longer go ahead, and beggary, starvation, and discos- ten t spread over the land with frightful rapidity. At length the existence of almost unexampled dis tress is acknowledged on all hands. The Duke of WEL LINGTON admitted it last night ; the QUEEN'B letter tes tifies to it ; and the advance of public money leases it unquestioned. It is not caused by tree trade ; nor any natural calamity ; we have been visited by no earthquake or pestilence ; our artisans have not lot t tbeir cunning, nor is the skill of our agricul turists withered away. Prohibitions and restrictive laws meet us at every turn. We want feed, and are nut ellowed to import corn, sugar, meat, wine,, brandy, butter, cheese, nor any of the staple articles of human subsistence. .These laws are the plain, pal pable, and immediate barriers to our further progress, They are the causes of our distress ; and as all parties are now, with one accord, seeking for a remedy, we know not why we should not again advert to the repeal of those laws, as the sure and certain means of relieving distress and lessening discontent. Last night the subject was brought forward in the House of Lords, and the repeal of the Coru-law, re cently passed, was referred to by the Duke of WEL LINGTON. Perhaps his Grace meant to be sarcastic, but but we can assure hint that the only hope of the mul titude lies in that ; and precisely that, quixotic as it may appear, is the object demanded by numerous bodies or manufacturers. What th e n, let u s ask, wouli be the consequence of the total and immediate abolition of Sir B. PEEL'S laws to keep out foreign corn and saga'. ? us not blink the matter, but look at it in all its Inaring,s. If the Corn-laws were totally- abolished, and the duty on foreign sugar reduced to the level of the duty on colonial sugar, all the corn and tbreign sugar now in bond would be instantly entered tbr home consumption. Great quantities of it would be immediately sold; and thwe Who now hold it, would immediately send abroad for more. - There would be a n i nstant d emand for capi tal to a'great extent ; there would be life in the money market. Our merchants would be immediately sensible tl:at they would be able to sell additional quantities of woollens, and .eottons, and hardware, in the Brazils and in the United States. Goods would be in demand, and there would be hope and life in the markets of Leeds, Mouchester, and Sheffield. Moze . work would be in stantly given out, mills would work full time ; wages would cease to fall, and there would be again life and hope in the labour market. More ships would be re quired ; there could be a stir in all ou l P porter ; and pro- sperity and gladness would instantly return to every part of the empire. But it is said that the agriculturists and the sugar planters would be injured. We deny it. The repeal of the obnoxious laws could not add a grain to the present quantity of corn and sugar in existence, nor cause any more to be grown this season. All the corn which is now in bond will come into consumption in the course of a few weeks, at a nominal duty, without any addi tional demand for it. Repeal the Corn-law, and though not au additional grain of corn could be obtained, the demand for it would be greatly increased. Our people are much under-fed-; we believe that twice the pre sent quantity would scarcely suffice them ; and with a free trade they would have the means of purchasing twice the quantity. Under the influence of hope the manufac turers would continue to set more hands to work, and the demand for food would increase faster than our own and other countries could supply it. There would be no Nil of price, therefore, beyond the fall which will takeiplace after the harvest is gathered in ; not a soul would be in jured by the repeal, but multitudes would be saved from starving, the country would be secured from decay, and the monarchy from a great convulsion. The same argument applies to sugar. The quantity now grown would not meet the demand, and the planters would lose only a portion of the discriminating tax they now levy on us. They would cease, however, to compete with one another so eagerly as at present ; they would cultivate at a less cost ; and ultimately would lose no • thing. We have no hesitation, therefore, in asserting that the measure of repealing the PEEL Corn-keeping. out Bill this Session, to which the Duke of WELLINGTON last Light sneeringly alluded, is precisely that measure which would give the country instant relief, and en which. as we know—hopeless as it may appear—many manufacturers yet rely to save them and their workmen from ruin, When the Messrs: WIGNEV, :the bankers of Brighton, were under examination seven weeks ago, on April 23th, we drew attention to the conduct of Loudon hcuses, which, taking great care of themselves, countenance houses which they know are unsound, in carrying on a business which they also know must be an injury, and probably a fraud, on some unsuspecting persons. We then said that the sort of business the Brighton Bank carried . on, the nature of the payments for which it had to provide, and the kind of security it must have continually offered for advances, must have made its London Correspondents acquainted, years ago, witl the true state of its affairs. Who can believe, if such were the case, had the Messrs. MASTERMAN refused the agency of the Messrs. Wicxav's Bank some years ago, that the delusion practised by those gentlemen could have been so long continued, or would have been so injurious to the Messrs. WIGNEY'S clients ? We fur ther remarked that we have not heard that the London correspondents of the Brighton Bank are creditors to any extent ; they no doubt took care of themselves ; but whatever may be the case in law, it does not satisfy morality, that an opulent London house, which lends its countenance to a country house through six years of insolvency, in the end escaped without any loss. Reminding our readers of these circumstances, we now leave the following extract from the examination of Nlr. I. N. WIGNEY,. on Wednesday, to the common sense of the reflecting public:— In your 1 glance sheet there is an item of 27,504/. 3s. 10d. in liabilities to Messrs. Masterman and others,believed to be good. How much of that has been paid?— All except one bill.: When all the liabilities have run off; Messrs. Masterman will be in debted to the assignees to the extent of 2,0031. 3s. Mr. George Wigney's name is endorsed on bills to the extent of 13,0001. He began to endorse bills for me during the last year. My account was overdrawn, and Mr. Masterman said it was desirable to have a name on the bill. The SPEAKER of the House of Commons has behaved in a most unwarrantable manner to the Non-Intrusionist clergy of Scotland, and he may be very thankful that he does not belong to the Kirk, for excommunication would have been the slightest punishment the General Assembly would have deigned to inflict upon him for his wanton cruelty. The Member for Argyleshire some months ago brought in a Bill to regulate the exercise of Church patronage in Scotland; the hopes of the party, consequently, were greatly excited ; the Government, they fondly imagined, were inclined to listen to their claims, as at the request of the Home Secretary the Bill was postponed for six weeks, in order that matters might be arranged, and Wednesday, the 15th of June, was finally settled fur the discussion of this important measure. A great number of gentlemen, according to the statement of the Right Honourable Member for Edinburgh, posted up to London to be preient at the debate ; they had obtained Speaker's orders for admission, and were waiting in breathless anxiety for speeches from Mr. CAMPBELL, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and Mr. Fox Mama:, when, to their utter astonishment, they found themselves wickedly deceived. After the ice had been broken by the great patron of the Non-Intrusionists, Mr. Fox MAULE, the SPEAKER rose and said, " The Bill in terfered with the patronage of the Crown, and should not have been introduced without the consent of her MAJESTY. Under these circumstances I think the House of Commons cannot permit the measure to pro ceed farther." Cruel mockery ! Did not Mr. SPEAKER know when the. Bill was introduced, that the Crown had the patronage of nearly one-half of the livings, and that before Mr. CAMPBELL could move one step, the consent of the Crown must be obtained ? Sir ROBERT PEEL of course knew this quite well also, yet he has allowed these men to march up and march down again, like the French King's men, without the slightest attempt to atone for the insult. He would not promise the QUEEN'S consent, because it would be contrary to a precedent fully established in 1833, and the Hon. Member for Argyleshire must there fore seek some other mode of bringing on the question. No wonder that Mr. Fox MAULE was in a towering passion when he found that he and his party had been led on such a goose chase, and that the Premier only added to the insult by refusing to yield one inch. All that could be obtained was the appointment of a day, the sth of next month, for discussing the question, and, we trust, Sir It. PEEL will throw no obstacles in the way of this arrangement. It is desirable that the question s hould be set at rest, vast numbers in Scot land are greatly interested in the matter, and arc anxious to have a decisive answer from the Go vernment. The forty deposed clergymen should not be thus left in suspense, and some regard also should be had for the feelings of those who are exposed to a sirailar visitation. If we may judge from the capricious and conflicting tone of some of their daily eigans, and the significant hints dropped, accidentall:i, as it were, from time to . time in the House of Commons, by those who usually act with them, thrd Tory party would seem to be in a very unsettled, uneasy, and even ricketty condition. True, they bare a majority, but it is not one to be re lied on at a pinch, but is liable to a thousand fluctua tions. While one section of the Tories " goes the whole hog" with the Minister, another gives him but a quali fied support, and a third intimates pretty plainly its sus pm • -*on that he is unfaithful to his trust. On great oecti sious, when their very existence as a dominant party is jeopardized, they may make a momentary show of unity; but, generally speaking, they are no longer, like the old man's bundle of faggots, bound firmly and strongly together in the bonds of one common interest ; but are a mere loose collection of sticks—and such sticks !—liable at any time to be displaced, snapped, ..ad scattered to the winds. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in c u t: h as succeeded in completely unsettling them, a' flinging f the apple of discord among, them ; an; • more tliatt 'once during the session, both he and they he owed their safety to the timely sUpport afforded tkem by the ()Ivo sition. Never were Chief and his clan placed in a queerer position, towards each other ! While he pro fesses to lead, them, by virtue of his vigilant attention to their interests, he does his utmost to impair thos-e In terests ; and they in return, while formally ndkitowledg ing hint as their head, lend him a sullen, reluctant support, and now and then break out into open mutiny, and flatly refuse to 8 - march through Coventry with him. Have any of our readers ever seen a pig -driver conducting a refractory porker to Smithfield ? If they have, they will not easily forget it, fir it is one of the most amusing exercises of ingenuity that can possibly be witnessed. The man, well knowing the obstinate nature of the brute he has to deal with, holds him fast by a string attached to his leg, which, however, he pulls with great gentleness, so as to lead the animal to suppose that he is taking his own direction. Thus by dint of coaxing and adroit management, and giving a slight tug when he wishes him to go down & particular street, he gets him, say, as far as the purlieus -of Smithfield, and is already beginning to congratulate himself on his success, when suddenly the stubborn brute comes to a dead halt, and refuses to go an inch further: In vain the poor driver tugs, and thumps, and endea vours by all possible stratagems to persuade him to alter his resolution ; his efforts are wholly unavailing ; and at length, driven to desperation by the swine's invincible obstinacy. he gives the string one mighty jerk—it snaps —off goes the emancipated animal —and the bewildered driver, like Sir Jons Nfoonn, is " left alone with his glory!" Sir PEEL'S management of the Tories is,inst a parallel case with the above. lie is the pig-driver, and they arc the pig. The string with which he holds them fast, and by which he hopes to lead them in his own direction, is their sense of self-interest. Of course he handles this guiding agent with the greatest caro and adroitness; so as to give them the least THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 17, 1842. possible alarm ; but wishing them on some particular occasion to take a road different to that which they have selected for themselves, he tugs at the string somewhat too strenuously—and off go his party, and he is left alone, cursing his infatuation in ever having consented to lead them ! This dilemma has certainly not yet befallen our Tory. pig -driver, but let him carry out his free-trade theories a little more boldly, and there needs no great sagacity to predict that his pig will leave him in the lurch long before he reaches his journey's end. The awkward truths blurted out by the Tories the other evening, in the House, when he was absent at Windsor Castle, is a proof of what he has to expect, if he tugs too strongly at the string which binds him to his party ! The Paris journals contain long leading articles on the dissolution of the Chambers. The Journal des De bats, after praising in high terms the principles on which the Cabinet have acted, and particularly during the last session, thus appeals to the electors : The electors will do well to elect, without paying atten tion to a mere shade of politics, a majority I which never al lowed shades of opinion to operate wnen it was necessary to rescue the country from the disastrous consequences of the errors of M. Thiers. Mere shades of opinion never dissolve a majority its disunion must have its origin in rivalries, personal passions, and envenomed pretensions; and of these there has been none in the majerity of October 29. But this majority—we do not tear to declare it in the face of the whole country, and thereby render justice to the Ministry— this majority, we say, owed much to the firmness of the Ca binet, the union of its members, and the simple, frank, and straightforward conduct of the Government. During the two last years have we had those internal debates, which have upset more minorities than votes of the Chambers ? The op position of ten raises an outcry against the exclusive spirit of the Cabinet, and accuses, particularly M. Guizot of acknow ledging no other shade of opinion than his own, and of prescrib ing it mercilessly to others. Facts reply victoriously to this calumny, for what Cabinet ever showed itself more favourable .to the spirit of conciliation than the Cabinet of October '25 ? What Ministry has laboured more happily to unite together real conservators and good citizens of every shade, without demanding from any person the sacrifice of his opinion? Does not the very composition of the Ministry offer an example of enlarged conciliation? In questions, where some dissent manifested itself amongst the majority—in that of electoral reform for instance--the Ministry proclaimed loudly their police; but in doing so, did they exclude the majority, did they treat as adversaries those who, on this, spe cial question, professed a different opinion ? With whom, then, was it that Ministers ought to have formed an opinion ? Was it with their sworn enemies? With M. Thiess? with M. Odilon-Barrot? There was onle one line of reconciliation open—that of the Conservative party—and the Ministry adopted it both in their own body and in the Chamber. By their own example they inculcated union, the sacrifice of particular, interests for the general good, and the giving up of small matters to achieve great ones. In a word, for two years France has been governed, and let the electors not forget that she is so, because there has been not a confusion of par ties—that would he a political chaos—but the drawing together of the elements of the same party, a united Ministry and a solid majority. At present the country has her destinies in her own bands, to be strengthened or destroyed as she pleases. This majority, which has saved France, may be consolidated, or may be dissipated into dust. Let her make her choice; but, in doing so, let her not forget that majorities once de stroyed are not reconstructed, except under the pressure of some grand danger, or some political calamity. Nothing is more easy than to maintain the present majority. Nothing would be more difficult than to reconstruct after having once dissolved it. For our own parts, we have confidence in the pa triotism of the electors, and we reckon on the sound reason of the country. The Opposition journals generally take a very differ ent view of 'the late Chamber, and, far from recommend ing that :the electors should reform it on the old model, urge them to infuse as much Radical blood as possible into the new body. The Courrier Francais, in its language on this occasion very much resembles its con temporaries of the different shades of Opposition, who, however disunited in other things, are cordially agreed in their efforts to overthrow the present Ministry. The Constitutionnel disapproves of the period of the year which has been chosen for the dissolution. It thinks it ought to have been delayed until August, so that the convocation of the new Chamber might have been for November, for the dispatch of business, thus complying with the constitutional law, .which requires that a new Chamber shall assertible within three months after the dissolution of the former Chamber. • The following are the only other extracts worth notice A violent thunder-storm broke over Brest on the 10th, with hail of enormous size, which broke the windows and the slates of the roofs. The lower streets of the city were under water, the quays were transformed into furious torrents. A young woman, carried away by the waters, was taken from a sewer in. a deplorable condition, and expired in a few minutes. The port of Brest also suffered. The roofs over the vessels that are laid up are damaged by the hailstones, some of which were twenty seven millimetres in diameter. The roof of the Jean Bart is perforated like a sieve. A great number of windows and slates are broken, principally at the Pavilion of the Maritime Engi neers, the Naval Museum, and the Mast Magazine. Nineteen hundred panes of glass were broken in the Military Hospital.— Le Constitulionn el, June 16. M. Schultz, a German mineralogist, has discovered a rich mine of trieksilver in Bosnia. Specimens have been sent to Constantinople and examined by M. Paulin, Chief of the Ad ministration of the Mines, in the presence of a scientific Com mittee, and they ate acknowledged to be of the best quality. Pau and its environs were, on Thursday last, visited by a terrific thunder-storm, attended with an immense fall of rain, and with hail-stones of such a size that the crops in many places were entirely destroyed. In the town itself the damage was chiefly to the windows, hundreds of which were broken. A child, who was returning from the school, was however so much injured by the hail that his life was for ashort time almost despaired of. _ _ The south and west of France are almost entirely, rendered desolate by the long and extreme drought. The 'Bishop of Rennes, and other prelates, have ordered prayers to be put up for rain.— Galignani's Messenger. BOURSE—Roan, TUESDAY, JUNE 14. /frit Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pr's.. Prier.

Shares were very flat, and generally lower, although the prices appear unvaried. The total absence of all speculation for a time will fully account for this apparent contradiction. The declaration of forfeiture for a large number of Shares in the Northern and Eastern line has caused a further decline in their price ; but it must be remembered that upon the greater part of them not more than 30s. per share has been paid out of the 451., and in no case does the payment exceed 51.

This has had the effect of rendering parties more cautious, and the prices at the er4ViiYlßtion of the market were brought into the closer approairnation of 88 90. (From The Sun of Last Night.) the whole of the markets are exceedingly heavy, and prices lower. Various rumours are afloat, which cannot be traced to any authentic source, but that unpleasant feeling, noticed to have existed some fortnight since, appears to have revived with increased force. It is stated that accounts are in town of the alarming state of the King of the French ; and it cannot be concealed that should his demise occur at the present time some serious consequences might arise between us and that nation. The feeling of the French towards us is evi dently unfavourable, and an observation which fell from Sir Robert Peel a short time since shows that it is semerhat reciprocal on the part of our own Cabinet, R ith regard to matters of commercial policy.

The alteration in the timber duties appears to have caused much dissatisfaction in Canada, and it is stated, will probably ruin the trade and country altogether. This is far too gloomy a view of the subject, the timber of that colony having still a high rate of protection, and, even were it not so, agriculture, which was originally abandoned for the timber trade, will form a profitable substitute. For many years after the settlement of the place, the cultivation of wheat formed almost the sole oc. cupation of the inhabitants, and it was discontinued in conse quence of the bounty offered on the exportation of timber. It has always been admitted that the quality of this latter article is far inferior to that procured from the Baltic and other places, and hence it may be concluded, that the trade in it has been injudiciously forced, to a certain extent at least. But it may very reasonably be doubted if this be the only country to which the Canadians may look for customers for their timber. The West India Islands:and the Eastern coast of South Ame rica, are all dependent upon others for their supplies, and it is quite possible to open and carry on an extensive and profitable trade with them as well "1 with us. If such be so, this reduction may almost be viewed as beneficial, inasmuch as an impetus will be given to the commerce of Canada, as well by opening new vents for its pro duce, as by the increased consumption of its corn and flour, which may now reasonably be expected in this country.

For two or three hours preceding the commencement of the first race the villages in the vicinity of the Hurst exhibited a miniature resemblance of Epsom on the Derby day. The lino of carriages was immense ; some proceeded direct to the race-. ground, and, as a matter of course, were mulcted heavily for admission within the privileged enclosures; others, more eco nomical, discharged their cargoes at the waterside, and exposed them to the dangers of the ferry, in addition to those already encountered on the road. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, and a long list of the noble and the beautiful, to the credit of the races, were present. The first start took place for The Hurst Cup of 401. in specie, a free gift by the Proprietors of the Course, for all ages; three yrs, 7st 41b; four yrs, Sst 71b ; five yrs, 9st lib ; six and aged, 9st 51b ; mares and geldings allowed 31b.

The sport was first-rate, the Weather ekceedingly fine, and the attendance 'exceeded, hot only in number, but in condition, the rates of any previous seas on . The disappointment upon the withdrawal of the Oxford boats, and the eonrusioe attend ant Upon the general disarrangeineet hl the list, had been got over, and the bridge, the towing -path, the stands, and the beautiful hills, whith tise in seccession on the Berks shore, were covered with spectators: It Was the Derby of aqklaties. The trial races had beet gohe through, Ind the expectant mill , titude were anxionsly anticipating in the struggle foe the rcs spective Vale:able prizes and honorary distinctions a scientifi c ted gfttifying exhibition. At three o'clock, the „iedget hgviti liken their places in the grand stand, and Ds Bithdp, Esq., the umpire; having . taken his seat in the cutter, manned by picked Londoti Water man, preparations Were made for the first rt ell, Nr the islaberle:;,Stewards Chilletige CiAp, ;glue 75 g u i neas .

Steerer, Churchill. Cresitsv.—The Dreadnought Cutter Club—Messrs. Page, stroke Ontirtvaite, torest, Ives. Steerer Tagg. It was a ver y i n diff e r en t ,race . The Midge took the lead, kept It, and won very easily. The heat price Was the District Challenge Cup, for four. ' oared boats, now extended to amateur clubs belonging to any of the towns on the banks of the Thames from Windsor to Oxford (both inclusive), established at least one year pre vious to th 3 time of entering, and whose members shall not be resident members of the Univesities, or members of any Uni versity Club. The competitors for this were the following : Wreeson.—The Windsor and Eton Boat Club—Messrs. W: Long (stroke), Muekhouse, G. Long, Dodd. Steerer—F.. Long. Oxrortn. The Dolphin Boat Club —Messrs. Buckett (stroke), Leach, Bossom, Cowley. Steerer—Jackman. OXFORD.—The Isis Boat Club—Messrs. Williams (stroke), Venables, Wadlowe, Sherratt. Steerer—Chamberlain. A very excellent race took place, in which it was clear that the whole of the crews were first-rate as amateurs. The three boats went off beautifully together, and for a few yards were level, the Isis then showed her head about a yard in ad vance of the others, which advantage was but temporary, the whole three being again oar and oar. X spirited struggle fol. lowed, in which the combatants strained every muscle for pre cedence. The Windsor and Eton, by dint of superior power, got the lead and kept it, winning by half a length, or a trifle more. Thu Isis was about the 5104 distance in advance of the other boat. The grand rate, a thik ifYit.y . ; of the clay, was yet to come, and the sporting Interest was very considerable. The recent struggle in London between the Cambridge and Oxford boats httd Induced much diversity of opinion on the merits of the Cambridge -room's and the University boat, and tato sittip laid out at evens. It will be remembered that Reom't beat in London came in possession of the chief prite SA this; regatta last season, in a contest between them and the Leander. The race on that occas i on was not rowe d ou t, a f ou l hiving talteh place about five minutes after the start ) and the umpire decid ing that, according to the conditions of this regatta, a foul, however accidental it might be, lost the party making it the race. just before five o'clock preparations were made for this great event, the holders being as we have described, and the antago nist party, the winners of the race, amongst the challengers. The Grand Challenge Cup, value 200 guineas, open to any crew composed of members of any of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or London, or schools of Eton or Westminster, or the Officers of her Majesty's Army or Navy, or to any Club es tablished at least one year previous to the time of entering. The crews were : LoNttox—The Cambridge Subscription. room's Boat Club. Messrs. Beresford (stroke), Selwyn, Jones, Ritchie, Lonsdale, Uppleby, Shadwell, Yatman. Steerer—T. Egan. CamaaraE.—The University Boat Club. Messrs. Ridley, (stroke), Hon. G. Denman, Royds, Cobbold, Vials, Watson, Hon. L. Denman, Tower. St eer er—J. P.illock. It will be seen b y the above li s t th a t Mr. Vi a l s h as ta k en the place of Mr. Penrose in the University boat since Satur.. day, and that Mr. Egan, who steered that boat on Tuesday, hi its contest against the challengers, was found in the London room's boat, his loss to'the University crew being supplied by Mr. Pollock, a very able steerer, and the brother, as we un derstand, of the gentleman who took the yoke•linos in the match of Saturday. Both crews bent forward on the signal being given, and started away together. The. University boat aTeared, after a few pulls, to be heading, but a trifling spurt and they were as i at the moment of going off. The Room's-boat then - made a dashing effort for "the pride of place," and gained it by about a foot. Heavy and long pulls followed each other in rapid suc cession, but the Room's-boat still headed by about a foot and a half, and the acclamations of the multitude were not lost upon the competitors. The Room's-boat crew tried to increase their lead, but without effect. It was difficult work to retain the advantage they had gained, nor could the opposing party over haul them. The London Subscription Room's Boat Club won by a third of a length only, amidst deafening plaudits. The Dreadnought rowed over the course for the Town Cup, which closed the sports of the day. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPI TAL DINNER, The annual dinner in aid of the funds of this excellent insti tution, took place yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street. The Right Hon. Lord Brougham, President of the Institution, in the chair. Among the gentlemen present we observed Sir Charles Lemon, M.P., Sir George Thomas Staunton, M.P., Commodore Sir Charles Napier, M.P., Captain Lamotte, Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Pemberton Hey wood, Mr. S. Rushforth, Rev. Dr Stebbings (Chaplain of the Institution), Sir Isaac Goldsmid (Banker and Treasurer), General Alexander, Mr. Prevost, Mr. Dugald Christie, M.P., Mr. G. W. Wood, Mr. Martin Thackery, Mr. William Walker Drake, Mr. Thomas Gibson, Mr. Charles Richardson, Mr. C. A. Tulk, Mr. George Bishop, Mr. D. Salomons, &c. The dinner was served up in admirable style, and the wines were of first-rate quality and deliciously cool. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Professor Taylor, and Mr. Alainzer, with several of his pupils, were in attendance, forming a most di. etlye and powerful chorus. Mr. Tools, jun.. officiated as toast-master, and proved himself the wortky son of a worthy sire. The usual loyal toasts haring been drank. with all the honours— The CHAIRMAN von to propose the toast of the evening— " Prosperity to University College Hospital."—( Cheers. ) Before he did so, however, he thought it necessary to explain why he had broken through the rule which the state of his health had forced him to lay down of abstaining from attending all public meetings save those of a legi slative or judicial nature, at which it was his duty to be present. It was because he felt that, connected as he was with the University of London, it was his duty to be present; and the same cause, namely, the forwarding the in terests of University College, had induced him to preside over the meeting assembled to perpetuate, by some lasting testi. monial, the memory of one of the firmest friends the Univer sity College had ever possessed—the late Dr. Birkbeck. It might have been supposed, that as the Hospital was established in a neighbourhood where, more than in any other, such an Institution was required, a great part of its revenue would have been derived from annual subscriptions. Such, however, was not the case—not inure than one-tenth part of its revenue was derived from that source. Its main source of revenue was the fees paid by medical students, which in other hospitals went into the pockets of the medical officers, but which the medical officers of University College had liberally given up to the Institution. The Institution had existed for eight years, and in that time it had afforded relief to upwards of 110,000 per sons, of which number upwards of 10,000 had been in-door pa tients. A sum amounting to 48,000/. had been expended in building and maintaining the Hospital, and he was happy to say, that with the exception of a mortgage on the building of 2,5001., the Hospital was nut of debt.--(Cheers.) The Me dical School of University College was the real patron and support of the Institution, full seven-tenths of their revenue name from the medical students.—(Loud cheers.) He would urge all to do their utmost in support of this excellent Institution; and he trusted that subscriptions would pour in in such a manner, as to enable the trustees to invest the beneficial bequests, which had recently been left to the Hospital by .Jonathan Brundrert, Esq., 'Mr. Thomas, and others, in such a manner as that those bequests might become a source of permanent income for the support of the Institu tion. A great prejudice had formerly existed against any hos pital in connection with a medical school. The establishment of this Hospital, he was happy to say, had been the means of doing away with that prejudice as completely as if it had never existed. The Noble and Learned Chairman concluded a most eloquent and impressive address, by proposing, " Prosperity to University College Hospital." Drunk with three times three. The Treasurer, Sir I. L. Goldsmid, then read the list of subscriptions and donations, amounting to 626/. 10s. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of " The Army and Navy, and General Alexander and Sir C. Napier." General ALEXANDER returned thanks for the Army, and bore testimony to the efficiency and good conduct of the Indian troops, whose fidelity alone we depended upon for retain ing our Indian possessions, so unpopular had we become in that country. Sir C. NA PIER, who was received with loud cheers, returned thanks for the Navy. The next toast was "The Medical Of f icers of the Hospital.' Dr. A. THomsos: returned thanks. Song—" A life on the ocean wave," exquisitely sung by Mr. Henry Russell. Various other toasts were drunk and responded to with great enthusiasm, and towards the conclusion of the evening, The CHAIRMAN, in a speech full of point and wit, proposed " The Ladies." The toast having been drank with all the honours, Mr. HumE, amidst roars of laughter, returned thanks on behalf of the ladies. _ _ The CHAIRMAN congratulated the Hon. Gentleman on his first appearance in hia new character as one of the fair sex.— (Loud laughter_) Sono., Sir. Vnillips--." The best of all good company." The'health of the Stewards was then drank, after which the company separated. During the evening it was announced, by the Treasurer, that Martin Smith, Esq., one of the Directors of the East India Company, had placed an Assistant-Surgency at the dis posal of the University College, as a reward for the most de serving medical student of that Institution. Both Lord Brougham and Mr. HUMP, in ;Averting to this fact, said they hoped the example thus set by Mr. Smith would be followed by others. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. THE OFFICE OF TOWN CLERK. Mr. R. L. JONES moved that the Report of the Officers and Clerks' Committee, relative to the office of Town Clerk, recommending that the salary of that office should be fixed 2,0001. per annum, &c., &c., be agreed to. He stated that a negotiation had been opened, and was likely to be satisfactorily concluded, with the gentlemen of the Mayor's Court on the subject of their claims, which would be prejudiced by the alte ration proposed by a bill in Court, to provide for the due en tering on the journals all acts and proceedings of Common Coun cil and Common Hall. Mr. PEACOCK moved as an amendment that the salary be reduced from 2,0001. to 1,5001. a year. A long discussion took place, when, on a division, the original motion was carried by a majority of 52 to 41. The Lord MAYoa informed the Court that the election for the office of Town Clerk would take place on Thursday neat. THE REPAVING LONDON BRIDGE. Mr. KNOTT brought up the Report of the Committee. It recommended that, as well for the convenience of the public as the durability of the work, the bridge should be completely closed, as regarded the traffic, during the repairing of it. Alderman Lucas and Mr. WIRE supported the Report. Alderman Sir M. WOOD said the inconvenience to the public business would be dreadful if the bridge was wholly closed, and suggested the propriety of keeping open one half of the carriage way daring the period of the repaving. Pe titions were presented from the managers of the joint stations, and others, against closing the bridge entirely, and the great majority of the Court cheered the suggestion of Sir M. Wood. The Report was ultimatdly referred back to the Committee, With instructions that during the repairing of the bridge the public accommodation should be properly attended to.— Ad journed.

Portugal has sent into the kingdom during the same period, 2,481,345 gallons, and Spain 2,542,471 gallons. Madeira stands low upon the list, it being only set down at 121,638 gallons, which is only a third in relation to the French wines, and scarcely a fourth part of the Cape. Of Rhenish, 58,103 gallons have been admitted. THE LICHFIELD HOUSE SALE.—The sale of the valuable furniture contained in this mansion concluded on Wed nesday. The house has been thronged with visitors during the week, attracted to view the superb services of plate which form the subject of to-day's auction. The principal service is silver-gilt, of the most massive construction, and possesses great interest from having been presented by the Govern ment of the day to the celebrated Lord Anson, and manu factured from silver captured by his Lordship in 1740, when in command of the English fleet on the coast of America, shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish war. The present Earl of Lichfield, who has been residing at Naples for sonic time past, is lineally descended from the great circumnavigator and hero above alluded to. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Ocean, Hast, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom Howe, at eight o'clock, A,ii,, yesterday, with the Dutch Mail. 1 134 - ] MARY OF NEWS AND eVinten• " Who runs may read." YOREIGN. In Paris, and indeed throughout the whole of France, nothing is thought of, er talked about, but the forthcoming elections. The pacitic accounts brought by the Acadia from the United States will injure the war party enormously. They counted upon Jonathan, but he has more sense than to go to war with out an object, and with his best customer. At a numerous and respectable meeting of British residents i❑ Paris, an Address to her Majesty on the- late atrocious at tempt on her life was unanimously agreed to. The Address was moved by Earl Leven and Melville, and seconded by Lord Aylmer. Another Address, to Prince Albert, was moved by Lord Roden, and seconded by Colonel Fox. And, finally, one to the Duchess of Kent, by the Right Honourable Henry Ellis, and seconded by Sir William Curtis, Bart. The representatives of England, France, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, on the :27th held a conference with Sarim Effendi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the subject, it was supposed, 'of Syria. The French steamer was to have been detained ti:l the 2:qh, notice to that effect having been given to the public, but the order was countermanded, and it lett the Ottoman capi. tal at the usual time. Sir Stratford Canning having succeeded in procuring the recal of Asbkar Pasha, Slahmed Pasha, late Governor of An gora, has been appointed to succeed the former. The intelligence from Persia, received in Constantinople, was stated to be favourabl , .! to British poiicy. The Shah was observing strict neutra ity, and the report that he had been sending troops to Ilerat, to encourage the Affghans in their insurrection against our rule, turns out to he false. There is little news from Egypt, the advises from Alexandria being only a day later than those published in our columns, on Monday week, by the Overland India Mail. The report gaAted ground in Alexandria, that the English Government was arranging with Austria to forward the Overland Mail from Egypt to Trieste, and from thence to the Rhino, to descend as far as Cologric and thus join the railroad at Ostend. PAR,LIA.ZITEN'X'JLIZY. Lord Monteagle, to relieve his management from some odium, last nignt moved for an ae.count of Exchequer •bills purchased by Savings' Banks money. In reply to the Earl of Minto, the Earl of Aberdeen stated that a clause was to be introduced into the Prize Act to dis tribute the proceeds of pirate and slave vessels. The Earl of Radnor, in moving for the return of corn al lowed to be imported at a low duty, in 1826, called the atten tion of their Lordships to the present alarming distress of the people. The poor of Sheffield had increased, to quote one in stance, from 261 in 1837, to 600 in the present year, besides 1,000 able bodied men receiving out-door relief. The weekly payments to the casual poor had increased from 715/. in 1837, to 15,0001. at present. The Duke of Wellington admitted the distress, but found no remedy for it. Lord Kinnaird expressed his regret that the Government would do nothing , and quoted a case of a man who had dismissed 500 out of I,oooworkmen, and who said he could not long keep the remainder. Lord Kinuaird moved for the instructions given to the Com missioners sent to Burnley and I'aisley, and copies of reports, but withdrew his motion. Several Bills were forwarded, amongst others, the Bill for keeping out sugar was read a second time without comment. In reply to Lord Howden, the Earl of Aberdeen admitted that Syria was in a disturbed state, though not in so bad a con dition as when it was invaded by the Egyptians, English, and Turks. Their Lordships acijcurned at an early hour. In the Commons Mr. O'Connell's Committee to inquire into the Belfast compromise was nominated. The motion gave rise to some fencing between the ex and the present representatives of Oxford University. Sir R. Inglis again expressed his regret at the conduct of Sir R. Peel, and the latter begged rather haughtily to be allowed to vote without rendering an account to his Hon. Friend. Sir R. Inglis again reiterated, in answer to Mr. Hawes, that it is his intention to bring forward the question of Church Extension this Session. On the motion of Mr. W. 0. Stanley a Committee was ordered to be appointed to inquire into doings at Southampton. Sir John Easthope moved for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish Church-rates. Sir R. Inglis opposed the motion, which was coldly received by the House, and, after a short debate, was lost by 162 to 82. There is no hope, therefore, that the Dissenters oiil escape the impost this year. Captain Peehell's motion for a return of the slave vessels brought before the Mixed Court for adjudication was agreed to. Mr. Ferrand's motion for a Committee, an address, and a vote of money to relieve the distress of the people, was rejected by a very large majority. It was only useful by eliciting a good speech from Mr. Villiers, and a good speech from Mr. Cobden, with reference to the present condition of the people. Only six persons supported the Hon. Member. The Report on the Customs Acts—the Tariff—was brought up and agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in. The House divided on the question of going into a Committee on the Dean Forest Ecclesiastical Districts ( Advance of Money) Bill, but the motion was carried by 101 to 13 and the money voted. The House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock. Sr—TE.ILDE-L. , C OA-UWE:ME. I iThe Shareholders of the Northern and Eastern Railway held a meeting on Wednesday at the London Tavern, for the pur pose of considering the propriety of disposing of 3,186 forfeited shares.

MAW AND PO LICE, Lieutenant• Colonel Bradshaw, 37th regiment, Mr. John Lee Goldie, 4d, Leicester• square, and Lieut.

This magnificent vessel, it will be recollected, left Sonthampten Abut the sth of last month, having on board upwards of fifty cassengeri, end a cargo of merchandise and specie to a large extent. She appears to have progressed fa vourably on her voyage until the 17th day, the 12th of May, when the ship encountered a heavy gale of wind from the N. N. W., when it became necessary to ease the steam to three-quarters of her speed. According to the log of the chief Mate, this hap pened late in the afternoon, in lat. 49 10, D. R., lan* 18 1 5, D. R., and course S. :N. As the night came on the gale so in creased that it was deemed prudent to alter the course, andb.*ar down with the wind. In this condition she continued till the following day, when, at about half-past twelve o'clock, she shipped a tremendous gm: and so terrific was its force, that every timber apparently tremtled again under its violence. The cea made a cot:Ili/tete breach peer her, carrying with it part of the bulwarks, fore-yard-aria, part of one of the paddle ly,xes, and i:veral coal-lumpers that were on deck. The corn- Mander, chief 0 1116;7, and several of the Crew, had a most nar row escape of being webbed overboard. n e y were standing do the forepart of the vessel when the sea struck her,and were swept * considerable distance along the deck. The Captain was thrown netirli into the engine-room, while the rest oi the crew were dashed against the hatchways and other obstacles on the deck, and they all were more or less injured, one seaman in Paititular had his skull frightfully fractured. During the remaititlSl of ifiedlty the vessel pitched heavily, owing to there being a dead Weight of Upwards of three hundred tons of coals in the fore and aft 1101E14 btit it could not be altered until the weather abated ; as it was, a great quantity of water got down the engine-room. On the 14th, the following day, the gale ceased; and sits was brought back into her proper course, in which !he continued until the 21st, when she was again driven hack in cOuseqnence of the ice and icebergs, some of which were of immense height and thickness. Fortunately, she gal clear of them, and o•rived at New York in safet% on the 2,5 th day other passage.

Noble Earl and the Countess are sojourning at Bothsm's Hotel, Salt-hill. The Dean and Canons of Windsor have in contemplation the taking down that portion of the unsightly and dilapidated horse-shoe cloisters, which are at the north end nearest St. George's Chapel, and also the gateway leading from the Castle yard to the same cloisters. 'I his gateway, with.its ugly and tasteless red brickwork, has long been considered to be an eye-sore and a disgrace to this highly interesting and beau tiful portion of the lower ward of the Castle. The stone work of the great west window of St. George's Chapel is nearly completed, and also the restoration of the fine old stained glass by Willemont. The State apartments at Windsor Castle are now open to the public every day in the week, Friday excepted. from eleven till six o'clock • and during the residence of the Cottrt, the apartments wil Ile:closed on Tuesdays and Fridays.
