, STATE OF TRADF. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER. —The market yesterday exhibited every appearance of steady and continued improve ment. Yarn of all descriptions, and more especially of the numbers and qualities suitable for Russia and the East Indies, was in good demand ; and for the sorts most in request an advance of id. to id. was pretty generally obtained. There was also a very fair inquiry for goods of all descriptions ; and an ad vance of about Id. per piece was obtained on print ing cloths. On the whole, perhaps, the improvement, both in demand and prices, was more striking than on either of the two preceding Tuesday's• markets ; and it was attended by a decided increase of firmness an d confidence amongst the spinners and manufacturers. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.-MONDAY, AUG. 1. We ha . ve had another dull market to-day, somewhat similar to those of, the three previous weeks. The de mand for flannels has been very limited ; and,the buy ers, who. have attended the market, have purchased very sparingly at extremely low prices. The wool market has been heavy, and the manufacturers seem to pur chase for immediate use only. Though there is no change in the price of wool, yet the dealers are very eager to sell at the old prices. EXTENSIVE FORGER Y. The Court of Assizes has been engaged on the trial of an indictment against four persons for an exten sive forgery, of which the following is a summary. In 1840, M.' Goliot, an engraver of Paris, was applied to and . undertook to execute a copper-plate for some lan sent to him by a printer at Madrid, as being wanted for the Lisbon Bank, but, being doubtful as to the correctness of the transaction, he made a com munication to the authorities, which gave rise to a di plomatic .correspondence, that proved the order to have been connected with some contemplated fraud, and consequently M. "Goliot declined having anything to do in the affair. Sometime after this, Hermoso, a skil ful engraver of Madrid, came to Paris, and took up his abode at an hotel kept by a widow named Boucheney. Here he formed, or renewed, an inti macy with twopersons, one named Artayete, formerly • alunner in Portugal, but living here under the name of Aguere, and the other named Pemoulie, at one time, a postilion, hut then engaged as a courier in the service of the French Embassy. Hermoso and Ar tayete, it appeared, engaged .an engraver named GraFset to engrave for them plates imitating the bills of the Bank of Brazil, for which they stipulated to illy, him 3,000 f. These, however, do not seem to have been brought into actual use, as the indictment accused them only of attempting to forge notes of ' the Brazil Bank. Hermoso, however, was in posses sion,of, plates of the notes o f th e B an k o f S an Fer nando, and Pemoulie, assuming the character of a , . merchant, acting as agent for the dank of Madrid, ordered and procured from M. Mongolfier, the paper maker, a quantity of paper with the water-marks necessary for accomplishing the fraud contemplated. This obtained, an immense number of forged bills , • • :were.drawn off, and sent into circulation in France by the three accomplices and the widow Boucheney. In March, 1841, Artayete went to Madrid, and there in • ' like manner issued the false paper to a very large amount. At length the Bank of San Fernando dis covered the forgery, and, by giving public noti ce i n 'the' Madr id Gazette, put the commercial world throughout the Continent on its guard. It was, never ., . theless, alter this , that Hermoso was detected, in com y, many with . Madame Boucheny, in passing some of them at the, office of a money-changer in Paris. They 3 were Both arrested, and indicted with Artayete and Pemoulie, who were also discovered and secured. On , their 'pre v i o us exa m i na ti on , an d at t h e tr i a l , Pemoulie ' ll '-‘ lcl - ample revelations, which were fully confirmed by corroborating testimony. Madame Bo uc h eney, hOweVer pleaded that she was totally ignorant o f th e nature of the bills, which were such accurate imi tations that they . had deceived the most experienced banker's, and the Jury, believing her asseverations, ac quitted- her. The other three prisoners were found guilty, with extenuating circumstances. Artayete was condemned to imprisonment for five years, with a fine of 6,000 f., and to remain under surveillance of the police for ten years after his liberation ; Hermoso to imprisonment for three years, a fine of 3,000 f., and surveillance for ten years ; and Pemoulie to imprison ment for two years and a fine of soof. AMUSING ANECDOTE.—We have twice alluded to the recent meeting of the Roman Catholic clergy at Woolton, and have stated that the Rev. Dr. Shepherd had had the honour of dining with them. Among the clergymen present was the Rev. Dr. Folding, Arch bishop of Sydney, New South Wales, who wore on his finger a rich gold ring, in which was set a topaz. Dr. Shepherd, observing the brilliant, remarked, that Sydney, alias Botany Bay, had had the reputation of being in ' habited by a population not remarkable for [their mo ' rality, nor for their regard fOr meam et tuum ; but he was happy to think that a great change had, of late years, taken place in this reap ',)et, and that persons and pro : perty were both much safer there than they had '" been formerly ; a change, he h a d no doubt, which the pastoral vigilance of his Grace and his clergy had had no slight share in promoting. The Archbishop said that he and his clergy had exerted themselves to the utmost to raise the standard of morals in New South Wales, and he was pleased to think that the Rev. Doctor had received information of the marked change which had been wrought in the colony. Dr. Shepherd re joined that he had not, as the Archbishop had supposed, 'any information to th a t e ff ect ; he had the proof from his Grace's own hand, the brilliant ring on whose finger satisfied him that, had there not been a remarkable change in the habits of the People of Botany Bay, he conld scarcely have succeeded in bringing away with him so valuable an article. 1)r. Folding and his Rev. Brethren were, we need scarcely say, convulsed with laughter at th e Rev. Doctor's wit and humour. --Liverpool Albion. e - • Darnley, Count Reventlow, and Major Ste phor:3 tenbarked at the Tower yesterday mornin g , i n the 1 , 4 44.4,tv, xnailpacket Neptune, Capt. Whittingharn, for Hamburgh. '"~nsclfto Dft. Greene as one of Mr. Greene's most effi cient'supporters at. the late election, but on questioning him he found he had never been in Lancaster in his life. The se•refary of the Mendicity Society stated that that was an old trade of the prisoner's; he had been sentenced by Mr. Maltby, at Marlborough•street, in 1841, to a month's imprisonment for a like offence ; his name was Lewis, and he was a Welshman. He was fined 51., or two . months' imprisonment. UNION-HALL. Henry Gill, a painter, was charged with committing an, outrageous assault on Mary Thompson, a young female of respectable appearance. The prisoner was employed at a gentleman's house, where the complainant was living as servant. On the preceding afternoon, the family being out, the defendant, who was previously engaged at work on the exterior of the house, knocked at the door, and said lie wanted a ladder. The moment, however, he got inside, he began to take improper liberties with the girl, who to escape from him, was compelled to take refuge in one of - the rooms, in which she locked herself until the family came home. The prisoner, in defence, insinuated that she was a depraved character. The complainant's master and mistress spoke in the highest terms of her moral conduct, and they were con vinced there were not the slightest grounds for the vile imputations attempted to be cast upon it. Air. Col-mot:lAm, in strong terms, condemned the .conduct pursued towards the girl by the defendant, and inflicted a penalty of 51., the highest the law empowered him, and, in default of payn\ent, committed him for three months. ---- MBETINti of MANCHESTER MER CHANTS and MANUFACTURERS. On Tuesday afternoon a meeting of merchants and • manufacturers connected with the trade of Manchester and the neighbourhood, was held in the Town-hall, to receive the Report of the deputation appointed at a f• ormer meeting to lay the state of the trade of the trict before the Cabinet, without reference to party or to • the Anti-Corn-la.w League. Robert Gardiner, Esq., • chairman of the deputation, was called upon to preside. - Mr. GEoace. CHAPPELL described the interviews th e deputation had. had with the leading Ministers in on .. London ; and added, th a t th e impression l e ft u p on t h e minds of the deputies was, that Sir Robert Peel, Lord ob Ripen, and Mr. Gladstone would, if they had the power, viS do more than they had done—(Cheers)—but that Sir J. Graham, Lord Stanley, and Lord Wharneliflb were no friends•to free trade. (Ald e rman Chappell sat dow n ~."";; _ , A .pitiiti great cheering.) Mr. HOLLAND HO O L E w a s rece i ve d w ith a ppl ause . • The facts stared by the deputation, lie had no doubt, • - • - had made a deep impression upon the Government. His conviction was, that they had made a stronger impression • thau on any former occasion. —(Cheers.) Mr. H. ASHWORTH recapitulated the leading points argued at these interviews, with which our readers are already familiar. Of his own town, Bolton, he stated ,4 that no less than 12,000 persons were receiving parish ; , 11 ' ' relief • that the rates laid, were 21,0001. in twelve months, out of which only 9,0001. could be collected. He showed Sir Robert Peel a pound of sugar which cost ad. , . in New York, which could not be matched here for less than Bd. per lb. ; and represented the gross hardship of a system of taxation which, in one way and another, taxed a man in five-eighths of his outlay. . Mr. BROOKS also addressed the meeting. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, said, on one point he thought there was some difference of opinion. In his opinion, Lord Stanley had received the deputation courteously. With respect to Lord Wharncliffe, it was only just and right to state, that the deputation engaged to meet him at four o'clock, but, in consequence of their interview with Lord Stanley, they were unable to attend until half-past four. Lord Wharncliffe told the deputation when they entered the room, that he would have to attend to his duties in the House, • • and therefore the deputation could not get fully into the subject before him. With respect to the subject on which they went, there could be no difference of opinion. Such a law as the present sliding scale could not exist. Its removal was a matter of time. He could find no words sufficient to express his , abhorrence of that abomi na bl e an d w i c k e d l aw , w hi c h - had entailed a measure of evil on this country from which it would not easily recover.—(Hear, hear.) The repeal of this law was merely a matter of time—there could be no doubt of its ultim a t e remova l. H e might A, differ in politics from many of his friends, but he should most cordially and sincerely co-operate with them for the removal of the Corn-law.—(Cheers.) -a . ~~. TOW 11 is ABSTRACT OF ELECTION PRO CEEDINGS, OR THE PRINCIPAL POINTS THEREON, SELECTED FROM THE EVI DENCE ADDUCED BEFORE THE COMPRO MISE COMMITTEE. Having perused the evidence in question, we have marked for selection all such items as in any way tend to develope the practices of this abominable system, and if out of so bulky an evidence the points that are able to be gleaned are not very numerous, they are at least curious and characteristic. HARWICH. PARTIES BRlBED.—According to the evidence of Mr. James Currie, Parliamentary Agent, one sum of 1001. was here distributed in bribes among persons occupying small houses, or what are called 101. vo t ers , most of them small trades-people ; and many of those who in this place, which is very decayed, live by dredging for stone, which is used fbr Roman cement. —(Ev. 271-273.) From the evidence of the same party, it appeared from his notes that thirty-three persons were bribed, each of whom had large sums paid to him, many of them 501. and 100/., and some more.—(Ev. 297, 301-2.) Mr. Richard Mosse, Agent of Mr. Attwood, ad mitted that on going down to Harwich on the eve of the election, he found there were ten open to bribery (309), and that Mr. Attwood held out the elec tioneering hone to the inhabitants "to reduce the Church-rates,' and, in similar electioneering fashion, to take shares in their railway to the extent of 10,000l.—(Ev. 309, 340-44.) NOTTINGHAM. SYSTEM OF BASKET-MONEY.----MOSt of the wit nesses gave evidence on this point; but as the clearest, perhaps, was Mr. Fladgate's, we shall quote his words. —(374.) The custom of basket-money in Notting ham is that of giving money previous to large bribes. For four or five weeks previous to any election, the people go round to the candidates, or their agents, to ask them for this "basket-money." They will go to some inn, or some house appointed for the purpose, where they will receive from 10s. to 20s. or 305., which they call by the above name, from the fact of its being given on the Saturday, on which day the market is held, and it is supposed that this money is spent in buying provisions for the week. Many hundreds, if not thousands, observed the witness, could have been proved to have received this retaining fee from agents, or parties supposed to be agents.—(374.) ABDUCTION OF VOTERS.—MaIIy of the voters, ac cording to the same witness, were made drunk, and taken in that state to different places in the neigh bourhood, and then to places far off: a party of 20 to Gravesend : about 300 were carried off in this way during the last election to different parts of the world: Gravesend was in the above case instanced, as a place so far distant from Nottingham that it particularly marks the system upon which, some parties in Not tingham acted.—(374-5.) The estimate of the num ber of bribed for this borough was 2,000 out of a con stituency of 5,000.—(397.) Upwards of 150 con fessed their own bribing.—(4l6.) THE PRACTICE OF " THUMBING."—This is prac tised in the same borough. Thumbing is an opera tion performed by some of the manufacturers of the place, to induce the workmen to vote as they think proper ; its plain signification is "getting a man under your thumb."—(s7l.) A NIGHT'S BRIBERY.—From the evidence of the Earl of Lincoln it appeared that while the Tory party had full belief in a majority of 300 over night, there was a majority of 400 or 500 against them.—(s7l.) NATURE OF THE PARTIES BRIBED.—From the evidence of Sir G. Larpent he believed that the per sons bribed in that borough were in a very low situa tion in life, many of them the former old burgesses of the place, or freemen of the place, who had been in the practice of receiving a small sum, and that the excitement arising from the two contested elections for that borough, had raised the sum usually given, from being at first a sort of douceur, into the charac ter of bribery.—(736.) " RUNNERS " AND THEIR PAY.--•At the election in 1837, according to the statement of Mr. Thomas Wakefield, the agent, there was at that time consi derable distress, and numbers of men were employed upon Maperley Plains, partly by subscription and partly by the parish; those men were canvassed, and were immediately taken into employ 'as runners and assistant canvassers, and they received on the Saturday three shillings a-day, or something of that kind. That being done by the one party, they immediately came to the others, of course, and said, " We are offered employment as runners, and unless we can be employed by you, we are so poor that we must take advantage of it," and that of course led to the same iiroceedings by the other party : then one man told another, and so the thing began to spread, till a great number on each side were taken into employ as runners.—(B6l.) THE " LAMBS " OP NOTTINGHAM.—Mr. Charles Parkes and other witnesses gave accounts of these attaches of elections. " Lambs" are men of abandoned character, who are employed to intimidate voters and to abduct them.—(s67). They were first em ployed (595) by Mr. Walter at his first election, and during the last they were employed to join in several conspiracies to maltreat Sir John Cam Hobhouse, in Rarticular, who by r e fer ence t o p assage 680 o f t h e eport, stood in eminent danger of his life from these ruffians. PRACTICES OF THE " LAMBS."—In addition to the intimidation mentioned above, their occupations other wise consisted in the abduction of voters, many of them being cooped up in the neighbourhood ' • some in the houses of the neighbouri ng gen t r y, and after wards the rioting and employment of " lambs" to go about the town, to fight and break the windows of the various political opponents.—(sBB). There were no " lambs" at the first election on the part of Sir G. Larpent. The employment of a vast number of men, organised as they now are, is a new practice at Not tinham, commencing at the April e le c ti on . —(s9o.) COMMONNESS OF BRlBERY:—Bribery, according to Mr. Thomas 'Wakefield (871-2-5) was so open, that every body said it was done, but when it came to be inquired into, it, was not known ; people even con sidered that there was nothing wrong in it ; it seemed to be as much a matter of course as any thing else : the machinery by which it was done was this ;—a cer tain sum of money was sent to each ward, and that was again sent to some particular individual, and through his hands It passed to the voters. A BOROUGH " RISING IN PRICE."—The system of voters being bid over by the opposite party appears (evidence of Mr. Hannay, 9700-2) to have gradually grown up within these few last years at Nottingham.. The party witness belonged to had tried to get the borough of Nottingham for many years past, but were, generally unsuccessful. They tried the purity system, but that was very derogatory to the feelings of the constituency. After that they put forward as a candidate a gentleman very popular in the neigh bourhood, and a very humane and benevolent cha racter. That failed on account of funds, and there was no chance till they got Mr. Walter. Then the effective or money system was adopted, and from that time to this the borough has got "very dear," "very costly," and has risen "very much in price." " COOPING" AT NOTTINGHAM.—Numbers of voters, or rather several parties, were "cooped," not in Not tingham, but in houses ten or twelve miles from Not tingham. Lord Rancliffe's was one with seventeen : and Lord Melbourne's gardens, at Melbourne, with more than twenty. Trugsby-brook was a third with twenty, Matlock was a fourth with twenty, and a farm-house at a place called Haugh was a fifth, with about the same number. In Lord Mel- bourne's gardens, they were kept in the gardens during the day-time, for three or four days previous to the election, and they slept as they best might at the public-houses in the neighbourhood. They were driven to the gardens in the morning, and kept there all day, and made drunk, and so taken care of at night.—(376-387.) LEWES. BRIBERY SOCIETIES.—In this borough there are two clubs, which appear to be very available at elec tion seasons. On one side was commenced a few years ago, " The Bundle of Sticks Society," which was a very formidable weapon in the hands of the Libe rals. The Tories determined to counteract it; their society was the " Constitutional Pruning Society," which arose in this way ;—the Hon. Mr. Fitzroy, in one of his speeches, alluded to the attacks which the Liberals were making on the bulwarks of the Constitution ; and he said that the difference between the Reformers and the other party was, that where they would apply the axe, he would apply the pruning -knife. This tickled their fancy, and they formed a society under that name. PUTTING TUE TOWN IN A STATE OF SIEGE.— One very expensive part of the Lewes election (evi dence of the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, 1178-9) was putting the town in a state of siege, which was forced to be done to prevent carrying off voters. It becomes very expensive the watching such a town as that, with so many cross roads, to prevent one's voters being carried off; it is a most expensive item in the election. DEER, TOBACCO, AND HOT SUPPERS.—The Hon. H. Fitzroy (1183) asserted that he had confined all his voters to beer and tobacco; but unfortunately they (that is, the opposite party) began at the last election a new system, that of allowing punch and wine and hot suppers ; this forced Mr. Fitzroy to do likewise, and give his parties punch, hot slippers, and wine. Voters also were abducted and cooped up at Brighton.--(1353.) "BuLLLYING " AT LEWES.—As soon as a con tested election makes its appearance, it is the custom at Lewes, for certain individuals to come to demand what they call being put on : that is, they are to do something or nothing, and sometimes as " bullies " to track some unwise, foolish voter, who is early led away; the number of these is 70 or 80 on each side. Some voters were much tormented by these bullies ; they were not permitted to walk about the streets without being tracked and hunted, and their toes trodden on, Tilt StiN,l 0i0)0N, THURSDAY MORNING, AVGMT 4, 1842. and other annoyances, and to entice them into public houses, and make them drunk. TEA AND SUGAR PRESENTS.—On the coming down of the writ for an election to Lewes, it is usual for the parties to present a gift, in the name of a lady, of one pound of tea, to all the wives of the electors who choose to accept it, and add some sugar to sweeten it. This costs either party about 1301. each.—(lso6.) PENRYN AND FALMOUTH. STATED PRICES.--Mr. James Coppock, in giving evidence respecting the elections in this borough, stated that the bribery was done quite openly, and that there were no contrivances for concealment; the price being as well known among the electors as any circumstance of the day. CRICKET MATCHES. KENT v. ENGLAND. The match of cricket playing at Canterbury—Kent and All England--is likely to extend to at least four days play, the first innings of Kent and two wickets of England having occupied the whole of Monday and Tuesday. Kent, on resuming the play on Tuesday, lost Pilch without his having added to his previous day's score of 98. Mr. A. Mynn added 11 to his previous 16; Wenman did not score ; Dorrington made 15 ; Messrs, Whittaker and W. Baker 3 each ; and Mr. E. Bayley 5, not out. Their whole score amounted to 278—the precise number once made by that celebrated player, Mr. Ward, from off his bat. England with the loss of Fenner and Box, had scored 121, -Alen the game ceased last night with Barker and Guy at the wickets ; the former had fetched 53 runs, and the latter 36. Box had a score of 22 when caught by A. Mynn ; and Fenner scored one whon he lost his wicket by Hyllyer. The game, though still much in favour of Kent, is yet to be won by England, judging from the great score made at the price of two wickets only. The ground was on Monday well attended, and yes terday upwards of 2,500 persons were present. The following is the score up to its close last night:— KENT—FIRST INNINGS. iENGLAND—FIRST INNINGS.

We may here remark that these contests always occa sion much stir and bustle at Lords', and invariably excite considerable interest of a speculative nature among the aristocratic members of the Marylebone and other fashionable Clubs, and also those noblemen and gentle men who join in the varied diversions at this renowned sporting establishment, doubtless in consequence of most of them having been prepared for the Universities at these celebrated public schools, and also from their having played when students in these matches. The Wykehamites, last season, proved themselves the best players, beating the Etonians and Harrowians, the Etonians coming off second best, by defeating the Har rowians, but this year the result has been very different, the Harrowians having achieved a great triumph, by winning both these matches with the Wykehamites and Etonians, the former also being defeated by the latter. The play, in consequence of the unpropitious state of the weather at the commencement of the games, has been somewhat protracted, the matches seldom occupy ing more than four days. The students of the three schools have this year good reason to be proud of their representatives, each eleven including some first-rate players, while others are most promising cricketers ; and the improvement in their play since the last time they appeared at Lord's, is very apparent, particularly the Harrowians, who, on this occasion, had to contend with opponents much their superior in point of height, Weight, and physical power. The Etonians and Wyke hamites were well matched. The first game played was between the Wykehamites and Harrowians. The latter went in first, and scored 69, out of which the Hon. C. Agar (c. by Mr. G. Bright) marked 13, with a four, two twos, and five ones ; Mr. J. Marshall (c. by Mr. P. Williams) 13, with a five, a four, a two, and two single runs ; Mr. A. Hay garth (c. by Mr. Williams) 9 ; and Mr. H. Gathorne (not out) 5. Byes, 10 ; wide balls, 7. The Wykehamites, in their first innings, made 126 ; Mr. Williams (not out), 28, with two fours, three threes, two twos, and seven single hits ; Mr. 0. W. Holloway (c. by the Hon. C. Agar), 24, with a five, a four, a three, two twos, and eight ones ; Mr. V. C. Smith (e. by Mr. W. Nicholson), 21, with a four, five, three, a two, and three single runs ; Mr. J. Freeling (run out), 13, with a fbur, a three, a two, and four ones ; Mr. H. Ray (c. by Mr. Nicholson), also scored 13 ; the Hon. C. B. Lyon (b. by Mr. Gathorne) 4 ; and Mr. W. G. Tupper (b. by the Hon. Agar), 4. Byes, 8 ; wide balls, 2. The Harrowians in their second innings scored 15. Mr. Nicholson (b. by Mr. Williams), 52; with four fours, four threes, two twos, and the remainder by single runs ; the Hon. H. Agar (b. by Mr. Tupper); 26, with two threes, three twos, and fourteen ones ; Mr. Haygarth (b. by Mr. Gaythorne), 12, with a three, a two and seven ones. Byes 12 ; wide balls, 16. The Wykehamites, in their second innings, obtained 68. Mr. Ray (run out) 15; Mr. W. F. Wickham (b. by Mr. Gathorne), 12; the Hon. C. B. Lyon (c. by the Hon. C. B. Agar), 8 ; and Mr. G. Bright (b. by Mr. Agar), 7. In this innings there was only one bye and two wide balls. The Harrowians thus won the match by 28 runs. In the course of this game some very beau tiful and scientific play was exhibed. Of the Harrowians, who particularly distinguished themselves, may be mentioned Mr. Gaythorne, whose bowling was of the first order. He lowered, in the two innings, seven wickets. Mr. Nicholson, the Hon. H. Agar, the Hon. C. Agar, Mr. Haygarth, and Mr. Marshall, batted very effectively. Of the Wykehamites the bowling of Messrs. Wickham and Williams was much admired, also the bat ting of the latter and Mr. Smith (a substitute), Mr. Hol loway, and Mr. Ray. Both elevens fielded uncommonly well. The next match was between the Etonians and Har. rowians, the latter obtaining in their first innings 141. Mr. W. A. Commerell (run out) 33, with a four, three threes, a two, and eighteen single runs. The Hon. C. Agar (run out), 16, with two fours, a three, and five ones. Mr. Haygarth (b.lby Mr. T. Alarcon), 14, with a four, a three, and eight ones. Byes, 38; wide balls, 15. The Etonians in their first innings made 79. Mr. S. Randolph (b. by Mr. Gathorne) 20, including two threes and two twos. Mr. H. Fellowes (b. by Mr. Gathorne) 17, with a five, two fours, and two ones. Mr. H. Garth (b. by the Hon. A. Agar) 11, with a four, a three, a two, and two ones. Byes, 2; wide balls, 5. The Harrowians in their second innings cleared 121. Mr. Commerell (c. by Mr. Marriott) 37, with a four, three threes, four twos, and fourteen single hits. Mr. Haygarth (c. by Alarcon) 11.

The service was attended by the French Ambas sador and his suite, and a great number of persons, amongst whom were several distinguished foreigners. A mass was also performed in the French Catholic Chapel, Somers' Town. Yesterday morning about a quarter to two o'clock, a fire broke out at Mr. Kitchener's, grocer, No. 10, Bowling green-lane, Clerkenwell, which might have been attended with fatal consequences, but for the timely arrival of the parish en gines, which did not, however, succeed in extinguishing it until nearly the whole of the shop had been destroyed. Happily no lives were lost. SPORTING INTEL LI GE.:* CE., HUNTINGDON LACES—TUESDAY. The Huntingdonshire Stakes, of 20 sovs.. each, 10 ft., and 5 only if declared ; with 50 added. Two miles.

THAMES ROYAL YACHT CLUB. The closing sailing match of the season amongst yachts be longing to this distinguished Club was on Tuesday decided. They started at eleven on Monday, and after drifting to Erith, in the space of five hours, were obliged to turn back, their captain feeling that it would be impossible, against the tide, to ar rive at the distance buoy at Coalhouse Point, before five o'clock, as required by the articles of the Club. It was then determined that, in accordance with the rules, the match should be re sailed on the following day ( Tuesday). The owners were at their pouts early, as the morning indicated but little more air than on the previous day ; and as there had been no opportunity whatever of going through the necessary preparations for a steam-boat excursion, the Commodore, W. Harrison ' Esq., took his place in the Fortuna to witness the contest. At ten o'clock the boats were at their stations, the wind having fresh ened, and blowing from the east with a little of the south in it. The signal was given at a quartet-past ten, and Messrs. Mee som's Gnome, of 24 tons, and Mr. Gunston's Champion, of 25 tons started, the distance being to Coalhouse Point, and back to Greenwich. The Champion took the lead, and held it, ar riving first at the distance buoy at three o'clock, the Gnome being eighteen minutes later. The Champion retained the lead, run up in gallant style, and arrived at Greenwich, front ing the Hospital, at a quarter to six, and the Gnome at six o'clock. The Club then assembled et the Royal Yacht Tavern, when, after an excellent dinner, the handsome service of plate was presented to Mr. Gnnston by the Commodore. SHADWELL REGATTA. The annual wager amongst the watermen plying in the vicinity for a skiff and other prizes, subscribed for by the ladies and gentlemen of St. Paul's, Shadwell, took place on Tues day, and appeared to afford a great degree of amusement to the " natives." It was a scullers' wager by six free watermen, in five heats, upon the very old fashioned principle that the first man of the first heat and first of the second should lay by, and the four worst contend for the third heat; the two best of them, with the two who had lain by, for the fourth ; and the two first of.these for the fifth heat. At one o'clock, William Dove, Shadwell-deck-stairs, red ; Robert Skinner, King James's-stairs, }el low ; and Horatio Nelson, ditto ; pink, started for the first heat, which was won by red. Direetiv . after the conclusion of this, William Lane, of - Cole -stairs, white; John Barnes, Bell-wharf, green ; and James Mickerson, blue, rowed the second heat, which was decided in favour of white. The four unsuccessful men then . started for. the third heat, which was won by yellow and pink, and the fourth heat by red and yellow. At a little after seven, the two last-named went away for the grand heat, the distance extending, as in the former heats, from Shadwell-dock, and row three times round, the whole way from Bell-wharf to New Crane. After a sharp heat red came in first, winning the boat. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS. The Rev.

SEBASTIAN, JULY 28.—The following manifesto addressed to the men and officers of the Army of the North, by General San Miguel, immediately on his arrival in Vittoria, has just been published here : " TO THE CHIEFS, OFFICERS, AND MEN COMPOSING THE ARMY OF THE 12TH MILITARY DISTRICT. " Companions in Arms and Fellow Soldiers,—Placed at your head by the order of his Highness the Regent of the kingdom, I do hereby announce to you, that it is my fixed determination to employ my best energies in order to render myself deserving of the confidence thus reposed in me. " Our duties as soldiers are simple. To defend with courage and loyalty the independence of the nation against external enemies • to protect the laws and public order against th e i n t erna l foes and traitors who may at tempt to disturb them. Such are the duties and obliga tions which our country imposes on us. On all occasions you have proved to the world that you are animated by the desire to perform so glorious a task ; and such are the titles which have given you a claim to the esteem and affection of all,good citizens. " That portion of the country which is included in the 12th military district is distinguished for love of labour and the industrious character of its inhabitants. Its first necessity is the preservation of peace and of public order, under the influence of which it can alone attain to prospe rity and happiness. If, then, any individual, whatever be the mask he may assume, shall dare to promote dis order, or to disturb the laws and the political system by which we are at present governed, you will, I trust, be ready to repress his audacity with the valour and pa triotism which always distinguish Spanish soldiers. Should the moment of danger arrive, you will see me, who am a veteran in the cause of Spanish liberty and independence, more than ever ready to lead you on in the good cause. " Companions in arm ! the first Alag,istrate of the na tion is at the same time its first soldier, and this noble character is his best title to glory. No one better knows the necessities of the valiant Spanish army, no one la bours more for its well-being, and no one makes greater efforts in order that merit and good service shall meet with their due recompense. " But, above all, do not forget that subordination is the soul of military service ; and that without the strict observance of the principles of good discipline, armies cannot exist. " Long live the Constitution of 1837, the Queen Donna Isabella 11., and the Regent, the Duke of Victory and ltorilla ! " EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL. " Vittoria, July 25." The General is expected to arrive here this evening ; he was to have slept last night at Tolosa. The 4th of next month is the day now confidently named for the arrival of Don Francisco Paulo with his family at San Sebastian. OBITUARY. At Farnham, the Rev. W.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The Masquerade, for which active preparations have been making the last several weeks, came off on Tuesday. The costumes on the occa sion were elegant and appropriate, though for the most. scanty, there not being; more than one "masque" . t o twenty, in their usual habiliments. The entertainments of the evening, in addition to the concert, fireworks, ropedancing, &c., consisted in the performances of the stud of Mr. Batty and their riders, both male and female, than which nothing of its kind could be better, and in the performances of Le Fetite Taglioni, a precocious danseuse of great promise, and of present excellence. The illumi nations were very splendid and appropriate. The in strumental band was equally good, and, on the whole everything was done that could attract and gratify the public taste. The whole of the gardens were thrown open, and an extensive promenade afforded in the Italian walk. By twelve o'clock, the attendance of company was at its height, and festive groups were enjoying them selves in the saloon, and at the various supper-tables, Lord Gordon and Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence were walking about the grounds, and, after the Opera, the Gardens received the addition of Mr. James Macdonald, Mr. Facer Wellesley, Captain Duff; Sir Charles Kent, Mr. Beech, Lord Eanelagh, Lord Pager, Lord G, Paget, &c. GRAND JUNCTION R AI LWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of the Grand Junction Rail way was held on Monday in Liverpool.

Bd., to which must be added the reserve fund, amounting, with interest, to 8,226/. Os. 4d.; making a total of 122,487/. 13s. The Report says : " The income-tax, amounting to 1,826/. 18s. 11d., becoming payable to Government, will first have to he deducted for the three months ending the 30th of June ; and the Directors, fOr the reason given by them on the last occasion of their meeting the Proprie tors, have again to advise that the sum of 5,0001 be placed to the fund for the depreciation and renewal of engines and other stock.

Six of these stalks, two Of which are of the height stated, proceed from one root ; or grain, .and they contain 200 piekles.Ross Advertiser. STATE OF TURKEY. . _ CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 13.-The information I com municated to you in my last letter with respect to the hostile collision that had taken place between the Turks and Persians at Sulemaniah and Bayazid, and which was conveyed here by Tater in ten days from Bagdad, has been fully confirmed .through other channels. It was expected also, that, thaugh the forces of the Shah had suffered a trifling check, he would still prosecute the war, and it was added that he had already left Teheran at the head of a considerable army. and was in full march to the frontier. Among his other demands from the Turkish Government is an indemnity of 3,000,000 purses, or 1,500,000/. for the damage done to Persian property at the sacking of Mahamera by the Turkish troops some years ago, and it being unlikely that the Porte, however desirous of peace at this critical moment, will consent to pay so exorbitant a price for it, blow s and bloodshed, followed, perhaps by territorial conquest on the one side or the other, appear to be the only means left of settling accounts between•them. The Shah, as well as I can ascertain, is much better prepared for hostilities than the Turks • he is reported to have GO regiments of infantry, 20 of them disciplined by English officers ' • and his cavalry, according to all ac counts, is, for Asiatic cavalry, highly efficient. Ali Pacha, of Bagdad, who, by the way, on receiving his firman of dismissal, civilly begged to be excused from obeying it, or resigning his post, alleging the extreme affection of the people to his person, has not more than four thousand regular troops under his command. The Porte, therefore, has determined on expediting all its disposable forces to the Persian frontier. These are, unfortunately, in respect to number, but very insignifi cant—three battalions of infantry, a regiment of cavalry 900 strong, and 500 toptches, or engineers, were all that could be mustered, and left Constantinople yesterday. Serious as the danger in this quarter may appear, the Turkish Government has just now to face other difficul ties still more imminent, and still snore appalling. Another outbreak has this week taken place at Nissa, on the confines of Servile. The Bulgarian peasantry, ex cited:and re-inforced e by emissaries from Greece, are again in open insurrection against the Sultan's authority, hav ing proclaimed their independence, and invited the whole Christian population of Turkey to join in their holy war against the Mussulmans. The Porte has long ago foreseen, and is in some measure prepared for this storm: it is now evident that the troop, which had been.or dered to concentrate at Monaster, were intended for the prompt repression, if not prevention, of these disturb ances, and immediately on receiving intelligence of them, an additional brigade of infantry was directed upon Nissa, from Adrianople, by orders of the Government, and another I believe is already en route from Constantinople. Hussein, the celebrated Pucha of Widdin, has also been commanded to make a levy of Bash Bozuks, or irregu lars, and descending along the Servian frontier, to fall upon the rear of the insurgents at Wissa. These ener getic rneasui es will, in all probability, be attended with the desired effect ; but the nature and extent of the mis chief which has been long brewing through the whole of European Turkey, and in which there is undoubtedly much foreign leven and many foreign ingredients, are such as are neither easy to trace or eradicate. Negotiations for a commercial treaty are, as I in-., formed you in a previous letter, at length on foot be tween Mavrocordato and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Porte, it seems, has at length consented to treat, and his compliance was probably hastened by the menacing aspect of affairs in Roumelia. PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE 'SUN. Stn,—The letter of Prince Louis Napoleon which has appeared in the Morning Post causes me much pain, as the Prince rightly judges that it could not be my inten tion " to insult misfortune." It was incautious in me to make the remark I did in the work to which he alludes, as I merely followed the general impression that Prince Louis Niipoleon, when set at liberty by the French Government, accepted that liberty on his parole. I had certainly no right to offer an opinion on a poli tical question, iyhich I do not pretend to understand, and should not have ventured.a comment on proceedings which Prince Louis Napoleon doubtless thought likely to advance the interests of his native country, and I am much grieved N ord to think that an inadvertent ord of mine should have added bitterness to the sorrows of a captive, whose fate—respected and beloved as he was in his pri vate character, by those Who had the honour of his ac quaintance in England—occasioned such deep commis seration. By those better informed than myself my casual re mark will be, passed over without attention, and those •xlto shared my error will, I hope, if they were in the least guided by my opinion, on seeing the affecting letter of Prince Louis Napoleon, forgive me for having uncon sciously misled them, as I trust the illustrious prisoner of Ham will do, when he is aware of the sincere regret I feel for having distressed him. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obliged humble servant, LOUISA STUART COSTELLO. Richmond, Aug. 1, 1842. SHUGBOROUGH HALL SALE.

FLNERAL OF k TH OF ORLLA.N S. .1)U 7*;.1"; The melancholy ceremonial attendant on the removal of the earthly remains of the late lamented Prince from the palace at Neuilly to the metropolitan cathedral of 'Notre Dame having been fixed for Saturday, Paris may be said to have poured fourth its entire population upon the line of route marked out for the mournful proces sion. Every shop was closed—all business ceased fur the day—and, in fine, no mark of respect was omitted which could exhibi t th e deep sentiment of regret enter tained for the fate of the illustrious dead. It was not, however, the capital alone which supplied the countless masses congregated on this sad occasion, fur from many miles rounds crowds had been thronging towards Neuilly and the Champs Elysees from the first dawn of the morning; hundreds of whom must have spent most part of the night in walking. Hence the concourse of spec tators was far more numerous than even at the late in terment of the Emperor Napoleon, though the funeral solemnities on the present occasion were necessarily of a less imposing character. There every thing was upon the scale of magnificence and pomp befitting the tepid - ture of the hero and the conqueror, of whom it has been truly said, " thrones were but his footstools." The pageant on Saturday, though splendid and imposing, derived its chief interest from the melancholy feeling attached to the fate of the young Prince so cruelly snatched away in the morn of manhood from a nation of which he was the hope—from an illustrious family of which he was the idol and the pride. It was this senti ment which drew the thousands and tens of thousands to look upon, and du honour to, the bier of him over whose untimely death even the storms of political strife had been hushed, and to whose worth and virtue every heart does homage. We now proceed to describe the solemni ties of the day : As early as six in the morning the interior of Paris began to be in full motion ; drums were beating to muster, National Guards were hurrying in every direc tion, and .crowds were seen streaming towards the Champs Elysees and the road to Neuilly ; and later, at intervals, large bodies of the clergy, and of the students of the Polytechnic. St. Cyr, and Staff Schools. Nearly at the same time, the funeral car, with a long train of mourning coaches, was seen moving with slow and solemn pace towards the palace, where, on its arrival, it was stationed in the grand avenue. Gradually the National Guards and troops arrived, and severally took up their appointed posts, the troops forming masses and lines in front of the bridge, and along the old Neuilly road, the National Guards being posted round the palace. At half-past nine all the Aides-de-Camp and orderly officers of the King, the late lamented Duke, and the other Princes, assembled in the Court in which the chapel stands, and, in a few minutes afterwards, the Marshats, the Ministers. the Chancellor,' the President of the Chamber of Deputies, and the grand Deputation from both bodies of the Legislature, arrived. These were speedily followed by the Archbishop of Paris, Accompanied by the Cures of Neuilly, St. Roch, and St. Germain l'Auxerrois, and followed by his clergy. The Canons of the Chapter of St. Denis, charged with the performance of the services over the coffin, received the Prelate at the entrance of the chapel, where his Ma- jesty, the Queen, and all the Princes and Princesses of the afflicted family, were on their knees before the altar. Soon afterwards the Queen and Princesses toek their final leave of the beloved remains, and retired. The agony of the Royal sufferers at this terrib e moment is described as inexpressibly affecting. The King, with his usual admirable fortitude, remained with his sons; to aid and assist in the last sad duty that afkction can pay, by superintending the removal of the hody (on which the Archbishop bestowed benediction) from the chapel into the car, when his Majesty and the Princes also retired. Every thing be now ready, the guns at the bridge gave the mournful signal and the'peocession began its march towards the gates of the park. All the attendants were on foot, and moved with a slow step across the space which is between the chapel and the grand entrance. At the head was the smaller car, in which was deposited the urn containing the heart of the illustrious deceased, which was in the charge of two priests. This convey ance was a large carriage, drawn by six horses, and covered with the trappings of mourning. The upper panels were of glass, and the edge of the roof and four corners were surrounded by a border of chased silver, and it was surmounted by the royal coronet of the late Prince. This car was followed by Generals Marbot and Baudrand, who were Aides-de-Camp of the Duke, by the Count de Grave, and by Colonel the Duke d'El chingen, officers of the King and the late Prince Royal. The grand funeral car, which was truly magnificent, was drawn by . eight horses covered with fune ral housings, richly embossed with silver, which descended on each side to the ground, and each wearing large plumes of black feathers. The coffin, when placed on the funeral car, was covered with a velvet pall, having a cross in its centre of silver tissue, and deeply fringed with silver. The car itself was richly carved and chased. On the top were four winged angels and a Royal coronet of gold, supported by groups of the national colours, veiled with black crape. At each of the four corners was an ancient helmet, with long floating plumes. From below the platform on which the body was placed rich draperies with armorial bearings descended to the ground, and at different other parts were emblazoned the arms of the deceased. The cords of the pall were held by Marshal Sault, the Chan cellor of France, M. Laffitte, the Senior Member of the Chamber of Deputies, the Ministers of Justice and or Fcreign Affairs, and Marshals Molitor, Gerard, and Valee. Immediately after the car walked three officers of the late Prince Royal, bearing his insignia, namely the coronet, borne by the Count de Montguyon ; the sword, by M. De Chabaud-Latour ; and the Grand Cross and Ribbon of the Order of the Legion of Honour. Immediately afterwards followed, on foot, the Duke de Nemours, the. Prince de Joinville, the Duke'd'Au male, and the Duke de Montpensier, wearing long mourning -cloaks over their uniforms. They all bore -evident marks of the affliction in which they were ab sorbed. After the Princes came the grand Deputations of the two Chambers, one headed by the Duke de Broglie, Baron Seguier, and the Count de Portalis, Vice- President ; the other, by M. Clement and General Leydet, the - Questors, attended by the Provisional Secre taries. A company of Grenadiers of the National Guard, which formed the guard of honour to the chapel during the morning, closed the march to the gate. Here the Princes. entered the funeral carriage prepared for them, and the Marshals who were to escort the car mounted their chargers, and the remains of the lamented Prince Royal left the palace for ever. • After the procession had started, and the head of the cortege had arrived at some distance, a considerable delay was observed to take place, the cause of which was unknown. It was, however, subsequently understood to be that, at the moment the cherished remains of one so beloved was about to be removed from their sight for ever, the agony of the bereaved wife, and the unhappy nsother, too violent for control, led the Queen and the Duchess of Orleans to supplicate a brief monient's delay —alas! how unavailing. The sorrows of such a moment, even if they were not too sacred for publicity, what pen could venture to describe? The procession moved forward and presented a most imposing spectacle. The National Guard never since its institution assembled in greater numbers, or in finer order. All were in full uniform, with their knapsacks. Two battalions from the 4th and 7th legions, and the whole of the 13th legion, represented the great body of the National Guard, in the line of the procession, and were headed by the Count de Montalivet • all the other legions formed the line on th e r i g h t of the procession, extending the entire distanee from the gate of the palace at Neuilly to the cathedral of Notre Dame, having at least 42,000 men under arms, presenting a scene in every way worthy the sad solemnity of the day. As the car passed each company the drums rolled, the colours were lowered, and officers and men presented arms. The left line was composed, from Neuilly to the Rond-point in the Champs Elysees, by troops of the line brought from the environs of Paris, and from this point to the cathedral, of those composing the garrison of the capital. General Jacqueminot, who, under the orders or,Mar shal Gerard, bad the direction and arrangement of the trcops, rode, with an immense staff, at the head of the first section of the procession. The truly martial bear ing of the mounted Gendarmerie, rivalling in appear ance the Horse Grenadiers of the old guard, followed by a fine squadron of the Municipal Guard, and the second battalion of the Orleans Chasseurs, whose dark green uniform gave them the appearance of being in mourn ing, attracted general attention. The second section opened with the first series of mourning coaches, preceded by 200 priests on foot in two files, one on the right, and the other on the left side of the road, led by the Cure of Neuilly, before whom was borne the cross. In the centre were the Cures of Saint- Hoch and Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, the two Royal parishes, and the Canons of Saint-Denis wearing the camail and cross of gold. The chanting of the prayers for the dead by the priests produced a profund impres sion upon the multitude around. The car with the heart of the deceased which followed was preceded by the Archbishop and his chapter in mourning -coaches. That of the prelate had the armorial beatings of the lamented Prince on the door panels, and was drawn by four horses :n rich funer ea l caparisons. In a carri age b e hi n d were arried the in s i gn i a o f the prelate. The car was attended by Aides-de-Camp of the Duke riding by its sides, and followed by the persons of his household on foot, all deep mourning. Next were four coaches and pair. with the secretary and others who belonged to his Royal Highness's civil administration. The Prince's Arabian Charger, Sidi Mousse, followed, covered with a deep housing of black velvet embroi dered with silver stars, and on the saddle the uniform ordinarily worn by the Prince. The horse was led by two grooms in their state liveries. This beautiful animal was a captive from Africa, belonging to an Arab chief killed in the battle of the Oued Jer, and being himself wounded in three places ran into the French lines, and was secured. The Duke of Orleans frequently rode it, and it was on Sidi Mousse the Prince was mounted when he came into Paris at the head of the Chasseurs de Yin . cennes, two years ago, to be received by the Kin g . The steed .was sl ow ly followed by the grand funeral car, moving between two ranks of captains, selected from among the National Guard, the army and the navy. These were escorted by two files, formed of four compa nies of veteran non-commissioned officers, extending over a considerable space. Immediately behind the car were the officers bearing the insignia of the Prince, on horseback. Next came the carriage of the Princes, es corted on each side by General Count Colbert, Captain Hernoux of the navy, Commandant Baron Jamin, Com mandant Thierry of the artillery, Commandant Borel de Bretizel, and Captain Reille, Aides-de-Camp and or derly officers of their Royal Highnesses. This carriage was peculiarly striking, from its sombre appearance, being entirely covered with black cloth, without any ar morial bearings or relief of any kind, the servants.in the deepest mourning, and the six horses by which it was irdivn almost concealed by the black cloth, housings' , and were c(:v.:r (;:i beh,:hl I.rcihgc purdci t )ato% In tlic aCIE those whom it contained. The Princes' coach was succeedaded by the non- , missioned offieers, all members of the Legion of , 1l selected as bearers of the body from the car int°, cathsdral. They separated . the coach of the from four others, in the first of which was the dellor of France, and the provisional President 0 1 ,,, Elective Chamb er; i n t h e secon d an d t hi r d the p• Ministers; and in the fourth Marshals the Duke, Reggio and Count Sebastiani. The deputations °' Chambers of Peers and Deputies came next iii fa mourning coaches and pair: A fifteenth- carriage appropriated to the secretaires des commandereents , the Royal Princes. All the officers of the King's Ili I hold rode between the coaches of the Marshalsand of the deputations of the two Chambers. To ,t officers were add e d th e or d er l y o ffi cers an d_ equerr'e, s , the King and Princ es , an d t h e c h eva li ers d'honne''' the Queen and Princesses. After these came a long of persons on, foot, both civil and military. Among t ' f was a deputation from the Ist regiment of Hussars, merle commanded by the Duke of Orl ea n s , brouel° from Nancy by a telegraphic orjer. It was Cow' • , of its Colonel, the Count de Gouy, a chef d'Esse , , d captain, lieutenant, s u b-li eu t enant , t h ree o f -the quartermasters, and a certain number of brigadier' privates. The procession closed with an immense body ef i National Guards and troops, as indicated in the r gramme already given. In this order the solemn cession moved slowly along its melancholy way, thr_' crowds of the people asse m bl e d a t ever y s p o t 'whew ,, view of it could be obtained, every head being l oco as the car, with its illustrious burden passed, many $ ll ing unequivocal signs of grief. On the arrival of the procession at the Parvis Dame, the crowd by which it was accompanied much struck with th e m agn ifi cen t a pp earance o f the terior of the cathedral.
