lONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a good inquiry for money in the dis count market, the preparations for the settlements at the Stock Exchange exerting some influence, and 3-Z- to 4 per cent, are the rates for the last three months' bias. About £148,000 in gold. was taken into the Bank yester.:ay. _ _ The amount of specie to be taken out by the Ellora, which leaves on the 27th inst. for Bombay, is only £18,350. The weekly return issued from the Bank of Eng land yesterday exhibits some satisfactory changes. The bullion has been materially increased through the late arrivals of Australian gold, while large ad ditions have been made to the reserve of notes. There has been no large augmentation in the other securities, although the demand for discount busi ness has been rather active. Annexed is our usual analysis : .. £19,983,990 • • 147,060 .. 15,026,118 • • 175,962 .. 3,167,863 • • 8,868 .. 10,279,053 • . 396,918 .. 13,809,996 •• 94,510 .. 638,675 •• 17,252 . 11,251,395 No alteration.

A rather large business has been done in sugar at fully previous rates. Coffee, how ever, held at slightly reduced prices, while mode rate dealings have been recorded in tea and rice, without any material change as regards values, Saltpetre is held for higher rates, while a more active demand has been experienced for tallow in all positions.

Cater in the chair, the resolutions passed at the previous meeting relative to the distribution of new shares, among the proprietors of the Anglo- Portuguese Bank, were confirmed. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were very fiat, at 68f. 32c. 68c. 30f. The English Stock market, while presenting no change in quotations, exhibits a dull and heavy ap pearance. The Funds remain, at the prices at which they closed last evening, but a depressing tendency is nevertheless apparent in the desire manifested both by the members of the house and the public to effect sales rather than purchases. The anxiety thus shown is no doubt greatly attri butable to the incertitude regarding continental affairs. Consols are 911 a for money, and 918 92 for the account. Very few dealings have taken place in the New Threes and Redaced Annuities, which are about 91: India Stocks firmly support their former values, the 5 per Cent. Loan is 108 a ; and the 5 per Cents. Enfaced Paper 1071 ; Exchequer Bills are steady at 48. die. to par. A further down ward movement has taken place in most of the Foreign Securities, and business is rather quiet.

Great Eastern, Great Western, and North Western have each declined about ss. ; while North Eastern (Berwick) have improved ss. For the Foreign and Colonial lines previous prices are barely sustained. The operations in Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been to an average extent. Bank of Austral asia have improved to 764, and Union of Australia to 561. Imperial Ottoman Bank have declined to 174, Bank of Egypt to 271, and Union of London to 361; Peninsular and Oriental Steam have im proved to 771.

(Before the Judge Ordinary.) RIDGWAY V. ABINGDON AND OTHERS. Mr. M. Chambers resumed his address on the part of Mr. Ridgway, and contended that the evi• deuce that had been adduced bore out, in every par. ticular, the statement he had made, that for two months previous to his death, Mr. Mayer was in a state totally incompetent to make a will. Not one independent person had been produced who could give any evidence of the state of Mr. Mayer for a short time previous to his death, and under all the •circumstances they (the jury) would be of opinion that the codicil to the will of Mr. Mayer had not been proved. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY F4 . I IILNING, JUNE 26, 1863, AQUATICS. -4. HENLEY. ON-THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. The regatta at Henley-on-Thames commenced yesterday. The entry list was the largest ever known since the first establishment of the regatta in 1849, and the attendance of spectators very great, the Great "Western Railway autho rities haying put on a number of special trains to meet the public convenience. The weather was delightfully fine, and the usual arrangements had been made by the regatta com mittee to accommodate visitors, the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood taking their places on the grand stand and in carriages on the bridge. The sport commenced precisely at half-past 12, and the following are the principal races : STEWARDS' CHALLENGE CUP-FIRST HEAT, Cambridge, Third Trinity Cambridge, First '1 rinity. 0 After the first few strokes Third Trinity, who were on the Oxon side, began to come away, and gradually improving their advantage went in front of their adversaries and won easily, SECOND HEAT. Oxford University Boat Club 1 London Rowing Club Both crews started at the same moment, and the London crew immediately came away with a slight lead, but only retained it a few yards, when the Oxonians began to go ahead, and off Remenham began to go away from them, and came into the straight water leading to the bridge a clear length ahead, increasing the advantage by above another half length at the finish. GRAND CHALLENGE CUP-FIRST HEAT. Oxford, Brasenose College .. 1 Cambridge, Trinity Hall Kingston, Kingston Rowing Club 0 This was one of the finest and fastest races ever seen at Henley, and the losers deserve as much credit as the winners. The Oxford crew were on the Berks aide, Kingston on the Oxon, and Cambridge in the middle. It was a very fine and even start, and they continued level for about 50 yards, when Brasenose began to show the bow of their boat in front, the others still remaining oar and oar, rowing in fine form and at a clipping pace. So finely were the three crews matched that although Brasenose continued to increase their lead it was only incl. by inch. At the end of about 400 yards. the Brasenose were about a quarter of a length only ahead. The race was continued with unabated vigour, Brasenose now going more in front, and being a length ahead at the Poplars, where they began to ease slightly. The contest between Cambridge and Kingston was still admirable. Cambridge had made some fine bursts to get away from their adversaries; but they were not to be shaken off, and the gallant effort of the one crew was met by a no less gal lant effort on the part of the other. The Cambridge crew began to show in front as they neared Remenham, and a most determined race was continued to the end. Brasenose won by a length clear, and the Cambridge boat was not clear of the Kingston, only having got about three-quarters of their length ahead. SECOND HEAT. Oxford—University College Cambridge--Third Trinity Cambridge—First Trinity This was another very fine race. The First Trinity had the Berks side, the Third Trinity the Oxon, and the Uni versity were in the centre. They made a capital start, directly after which the First Trinity showed a trifling ad vantage, but were unable to retain it. The University crew then took a slight lead, and were challenged to a fine race by the Third Trinity, which was continued to Remenham without any very marked advantage. There the winners began to go well in front, and at the Poplars began to ease, and won by a couple of lengths; the third boat was more astern of the second, VISITORS' CHALLENGE CUP, Oxford University Boat Club Cambridge Third Trinity Cambridge First Trinity They started all together, but the winnors shortly after came away from the others, followed by the Third Trinity, the First Trinity gradually falling astern from the begin ning. After passsing Remenham the winners had a nice lead, which they kept, winning by above a boat's length with apparent case towards the finish. THE GOLD CHALLENGE CUP-TRIAL HEAT. Kingston Rowing Club Cambridge Third Trinity The race admits of no detail; the Kingston men came right away from them, and won easily by three or four lengths. DIAMOND CHALLENGE SCULLS—FINAL HEAT, Carnbridge—Mr. C. B. Lawes 1 Oxford—Mr. W. B. Woodgate The race was gallantly contested half the distance. Mr. Lawes came away at a fine pace, with a Alight lead, pressed hard to Remenham. by Mr. Woodgate, but after that Mr. Lawes left him, and won by three or four lengths. LADIES' CHALLENGE PLATE-FIRST HEAT. Eton—Eton College Boat Club Cambridge—Trinity-hall 0 Radley—St, Peter's College 0 It will be seen by the above that the Radley was as light a crew as could be t , r any chance of success. The Etonians, after rowing a couple of hundred yards, began to come away, but the Cambridge men pressed them close, and put on a fine spurt at a quarter of a mile, which brought them up to theta ; but it was only momentary, as the Etonians then dashed right away, and won with comparative ease. Radley worked hard to no effect. LADIES' CHALLENGE PLATE-SECOND HEAT. Oxtord—Braeenoso College .. 1 Cambridge—Third Trinity They were off at the same moment, and a fine dashing race ensued, oar to oar for nearly half a mile at a fine pace. Brasenose then showing superior power, went away in front and won by nearly two lengths clear. Mr. Lloyd, of the University, Cambridge, was the umpire. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) DICKSON V. LORD COMBERMERE AND EARL OF WILTON. The further hearing of this protracted case was resumed this morning by the examination of Colonel North; but the evidence of the gallant offic,r was merely a repetition of the observations of the learned gentlemen who appeared for the noble defendants. At the conclusion of the examination of witnesses, Mr. Bovill, Q,C., for the defence, replied upon the evi dence produced, and was addressing the court when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goieburn.) IN RE SPRINGBETT. This case was set down for a release from custody, but it transpired that the bankrupt had not filed the accounts required by the Act within three days after the filing of the petition, which was, therefore, dismissed. An application was now made for costs on behalf of the opposing creditors. His Honour said he could not perceive how he could make any order for costs. To whom were they to bo paid, the petition being dismissed. The bankrupt had paid the costs. The solicitor submitted that a creditor coming to oppose should be entitled to claim costs. His Honour said that he had no power to award costs. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder and a Jury.) CURIOUS PHASE IN THE LAW OF PARTNERSHIP.-VAN- DE WALL V, ANNEVELD. This was an action to recover £2O upon an 1.0. U. Mr. Henry James (instructed by Mr. Pearce, of Giltspur street) appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Joyce (instructed by Mr. Peckham) represented defendant. The plain tiff lent the defendant £2O, and received an 1.0. U. for it. Subsequently the plaintiff and defendant entered into partnership and traded fur a short time. A dissolution followed, and then plaintiff applied for his £2O. It was alleged by defendant that he had purchased goods with the £2O and brought them into the business, but plaintiff denied that he money had been considered as coming into the accounts of the firm. Mr. James said that, as a rule, partnership disputes were settled by the Court of Chancery, but here the money was lent prior to the partnership, and although subsequent joint dealing had gone on it was competent for plaintiff to sue. His Lordship having summed up, the jury found for plaintiff. TIIE LATE " IRON TIMES."-FOLLET V. BOLT. This was an action against the late editor of the late Iron Times, and Mr. Daley,' for the plaintiff, said that it the plaintiff got his judgment it would be the only satisfaction that he, in all probability, would receive. (Laughter.) The jury found for the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPUDENT CASE OP SHOPLIFTING --Ann Gill, a re spectably-dressed woman, but who gave a false address, was charged before Mr. Knox as follows :-- Mr. Alfred Thomas Waterfield, of No. 1, Union-street, Middlesex Hospital, dealer in clothes, &c., said that yes terday evening the prisoner and a man, whom she repre sented as her husband, came to his shop. The man looked at about a dozen pairs of trousers, and tried on about 20 coats, but none would suit his taste. While he had gone to get a tape measure, the parties both left his shop, and so had a pair of trousers too. He then went off to the neighbouring pawnbroker's, and shortly after was sent for by a pawnbroker named Smith, who had detained the pri soner on her offering the trousers in pledge. The prisoner then asked him if he meant to prosecute her, and on his teller her that he did, she said, " Then, old jelly-belly, I hope you will be found dead in your bed to-morrow morn ing." (Mr. Waterfield is a rather portly man.) Prisoner pleaded guilty, and wished the case dealt with by the magistrate. Mr. Knox said it was a very impudent case of shoplift ing, and he believed that she was an old hand, Committed for six months, with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. CHARGE OF STEALING A GOLD WATCH AT CREMORNE. —Harriet Hydemony, a French woman, of 9, Bell-lane, Spitalfields, dressmaker, and Elizabeth Cautmar, of Mid dlesex-street, Whitechapel, wero placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe on a charge of stealing a gold watch and chain, the property of Mr. Phillip, 10, John-street, Berkeley square. Ihe prosecutor stated that about 11 o'clock last night he and another gentleman, were at Cremorne Gardens, in a box drinking coffee, when the prisoners came into it and forced themselves into their company. Prosecutor wished them to leave the box ; they did not do so, when in a few minutes prosecutor and his friend left the box. When near the circus in the garden, he put his hand in his watch pocket in order to know what time it was, when he found his chain hanging down. He immediately suspected that the prisoners had stolen the watch, when he gave informa tion to the police. Mr. Selte—ls the watch found ? Prosecutor—lt is not. It is worth, with the part of chain lost, about £l7. By Mr. Selfe—l had no conversation with the prisoners except to tell them to go away. I offered them a shilling it they would leave the box. One of the prisoners stated that the prosecutor offered them a sovereign if they would give the watch back. The prosecutor remarked that the watch was valued by him, and he knew he had done wrong by making the offer while she was in custody. Sergeant Ager, 37 B, who took in custody the prisoner Hydemony, said that he found upon her a purse, in which was a shilling. Another constable found a goad watch and chain on the other prisoner. They were both remanded. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK,--A well known and active thief, named M'Carthy, was brought be fore Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing a silver watch and chain, valued at £5, from the ship Emmelina, in the Londota Dock. Yesterday afternoon, a day watchman named Davis saw the prisoner looking over the quarter of a ship called the Emmeline, in the London Dock, and soon afterwards ob served another man on board hand a watch to the prisoner, who put it in his pocket. Soon afterwards the two thieves advanced towards the gate where Davis was stationed, and he stopped both, and asked the prisoner if he had got any thing about him which did not belong to him. The prisoner said he had not, on which the watchman said, " Yes, you have ; there is a chain hanging out of your pocket." Davis then seized the prisoner, who made a violent resistance, and threw the watchman on some casks. He then ran away and jumped down a loop hole leading to a wine vault, where he threw away a watch. It was recovered by a cooper and delivered to the watchman. Mr. Alexander Brown, chief officer of the Emmeline, identified the watch. It was stolen trom a chest on the top of some linen. Cox, a police. sergeant, No. 45 K, said the prisoner was the most notorious thief in the district, and had been re. peatedly in custody. Mr. Woolrych committed the prisoner for trial. ALHAMBRA PALACE. With a view no doubt to vary the entertainments at this attractive place of amusement, Mr. Wilde has made a beautiful addition by introducing a very splendid semi sciontfiic exhibition, called " The Fairy Fountain." Som • years ago we recollect seeing something of the same kind at this very place, when it was called the Panopticon of Science and Art, and the wonder is that it has never been re-introduced, as it was one of the most effective and splendid experiments ever presented to the public. To Mr. Wilde, however, belongs the praise, and we trust the profit of resuscitatifig the Prismatic Fountain, as it was then called, and he ,is thus enabled to vary his entertainment in a most agreeable manner. The building previous to the exhibition of the fountain is darkened, and then from a crystal basin, in the centre of the stage, springs a beautiful fountain, assuming, alternately, every colour of the rain bow. At one time it has the appearance of liquid silver then a bright emerald green, next a delicately-tinted mauve colour follows, a brilliant blue succeeds ; but the most gorgeous of all is the transformation to a splendid ruby tint. The effect is Froducd by the water reflecting the light thrown upon it by a kir d of magic lanthorn, the colours being produced by glasses of the hues we have men tioned being placed between the light and the foun tain, The applause of the audience was something extraordinary, and the success of the new experiment will doubtless encourage Mr. Wilde to seek for further novelties of a scientific description. As soon as the beauties of the Fairy Fountain become generally known, all London will flock to witness the truly splendid exhi bition. Canada is just now convulsed by the elections for members to the new Parliament. The different parties are classified as reformers, liberals, conservatives, clear grits, and coil uptiouistE..— Canadian paper. PUGILISM. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. RYALL, OF BIRMINGHAM, AND J. MACE,—At length a match has been made, and the necessary articles duly en tered into, for these men to fight for £2OO a side and the champion's belt, which after the memorable contest between Tom King and Jem Mace, when King proved victorious, was returned by King to the keeping of the stakeholder, owing to his not being in a position to defend his title to the same. Since then Mace has repeatedly intimated that he (the affair with the Unknown having ended in smoke), was ready to meet any one who might be ambitious of en tering the lists with him to contend for the highest of pugi listic honours. W. Ryall, the old opponent of Joe Goss, has now come into the field, Mace having also a match pending for £6OO to £4OO with Joe Goss. This event is to come off at the end of September next, and for the purpose of mak ing matters smooth for Jem, the match between himself and Ryall for the championship is made to take place in three months from the day on which Mace meets Goss of Wol verhampton. From this arrangement it will be seen Ryall has a good six months to wait before the arrival of the great day. A deposit of £ls a side has been staked.

The Sanoma is more of a sloop than a gunboat, very heavily armed, and carries a great num ber of n:en. She is a paddle, black painted, with two very small masts, schooner rigged. The blockade run ners are small steamers, rather low, and very long, bows like a knife, with one or two lookout posts about 30fc to 40ft high. They average on a passage 13 knots, and in an emergency can be worked up to 16 or 17. I believe they aro painted a dirty stone colour, very difficult to distin guish at sea. It was arranged that the Ruby and Nep tune should both go out together, so as to humbug the Yankee as much as possible, On the same night we got into harbour, just a little before sunset, the Nep tune let slip her cable, and before the Yankee knew where he was, the little Neptune was clear of the harbour and puffing away like old boots outside. The Sanoma by this time had slipped her moorings; but she is a long craft, and having but small head sails with little wind, and among a crowd of shipping, she took a long time to get her head slowed round to the entrance of the harbour. This done, she clapped on full speed and came thundering down the harbour; but all this time the Ruby had not been asleep, she slipped her cable, and, to tease the Yankee, hoisted English colours and ran under her stern, dipping her colours three times to her. She then came under our stern and dipped her colours three times to us ; her crew took of their hats and cheered us. She then ran down across the Yankees bows, got into the passage of the harbour, and stopped there on some paltry excuse, and just at this moment a Spanish brigantine under sail got right between the two—so the Sanoma had to go full speed astern to stop her way and pre vent her running down the brigantine, and by the time she got past the Ruby the Neptune was about five miles off the land. When the Sanoma got clear of the entrance she again clapped on full speed after the Neptune. The Ruby steamed out half a mile to watch the Neptune increasing the distance between her stern and the bows of the Yankee, and just as it was getting dark I mull barely wake out a speck on the horizon from the masthead, while the Sanoma was vainly puffing after her. After dark the Ruby steamed quietly away to the northward. On Thursday morning, as we were steaming out of the harbour, we passed the Sanonia coming in, accompanied by a corvette looking very crest-fallen, returning from the chase without her prize." THE RUSSIANS IN POLAND. The following letter, addressed by a Polish noble• man to an English friehd i has been placed in our hands for publication. It gives a terrible picture of the sufferings of the Poles in Volhynia " Volhynia, June 15, "My dear C—,-1 siege the occasion which has just offered of sending a letter across the fron tier (by post it would be impossible to send one telling of the real state of things here). I write to you probably for the last time, as landed pro prietors who have remained at home with their wives and children are in daily expectation of death. -You may have heard, though it is difficult to believe, to what inhuman means the Russian Go vernment resorts to get rid of all that is Polish or Catholic. They have gladly seized the occasio❑ of fered them by this insurrection to accomplish their long-meditated plan of annihilating ail that is not Russian in these provinces. Several months since we were deprived of all arms or weapons of defence ; now, by a Government order, we are informed that we are no longer to expect any kind of protection frogs them, and that they are not answerable either for our properties or lives. Mean while,the Govern ment officials and the Greek priests do all in their power to put the Greeks against the Catholics ; and Russian soldiers, disguised as peasants, with all the ruffians, who have been let loose from the prisons for this purpose, scour the country, attacking all the country seats on their road where there is a chance of plunder, pillaging, burning, and putting to death all they contain, and destroying whatever comes in their way. The cruelties perpetrated by these bands are incredible; not content with simply putting to death, they invent new tortures every day. They screw their victims with iron screws to the wall, knock their teeth down their throats, tear out their eyes and tongue, and saw living men into pieces; the w-iman they outrage and then murder, as well as their children. My pen cannot describe to what a fearful death we are every day exposed ; and yet we must not complain, for the committees of inquiry which are sent to ascertain the truth of these atrocities always end by rewarding the perpetrators of them, finding that they had good reason for acting in that way. After the engagements which took place in this neigh. bourhood, at Slawzita, Miropol, and other places, the Russians forbade any assistance to be given to the wounded Poles, and the more effectually to prevent it, ordered the wounded to be buried with the dead. Our priests are murdered at the feet of our altars while in the. act of offi ciating. With all this we have not the right to leave our estatee, but are obliged to wait pa tiently the cruel death which will certainly fall to our lot ; for the peasants, in their simplicity, tell us that the Government has informed them that on a certain given day all Catholics, rich and poor alike, are to be exterminated—this being the expectation we now live in. One day, perhaps, those civilised Governments who are now spectators of this bloody tragedy will reproach themselves with not having interfered more energetically; but we are resigned to offer the sacrifice of our lives, if, by the effusion of so much innocent blood, our unhappy country may one day be delivered from the hands of its barbarous oppressors.—Yours till death, * * *" The CORSALETTO DI MEDICL—IU order to ex plain adequately what the Corsaletto di Medici is, we must follow Clodius a pardonably short distance into the sacred mysteries which he invaded. We know not how it happens that the civilised part of the human race seems always to be in some ridiculous and unaccountable hobble about costume. But, however it may be explained, the weakness is a fact which cannot be denied ; and it is cer tainly incident more to the female, than to the male, section of humanity. The difficulty is now about crinoline, now about a becoming head-dress, and now—with reverence be it spoken—about stays. That the female frame must neces sarily be tightly supported by steel and whalebone, is a maxim which has obtained among English matrons, more or less, for several centuries. Of recent years, the medi cal faculty, seconded by a whole army of sanitary re formers, has begun to lift its voice in earnest against the practice. It appears that stays produce every result that is bad, without any balance of advantage whatever. They limit the movements of the trunk, and degrade the condition of the muscles from a firm to a soft and unhealthy state. They further check the circulation of blood through the muscles, by pressing them between their own hard sub stance and the bones of the chest; and the muscles accord ingly become wasted, or, in technical language, atrophied. The heads of the profession cannot be reasonably charged wi h not having spoken out. One eminent surgeon, heart lessly indifferent to the feelings of his fair, and still impri soned, patients, grimly points to the "wasted leg of the mendicant" as an instance of the effect of pressure, assur ing them that that leg, "through tight bandaging alone, can be reduced to the condition which excites our commis seration." Cruveilhier will only allow a small percentage of the sex to be "free from some deformity of the liver, con sequent on the use of tight and unyielding corsets." And Erasmus Wilson asks the point-blank question concerning the same articleof dress—" It we wished to produce curved spine, could we adopt a more scientific or certain plan ?" Words like these were certainly calculated to produce, not only a flutter within the artificial robur et cos triplex of the female breast, but also a crisis in the history of certain por tions of female costume. It was a great occasion; and, in justice to Mesdames Marion and Maitland, of Oxford-street, sole manufacturers and patentees of the Corsaletto di Medici, we must admit that they have been equal to it. They pro . ceeded to invent a substitute for the obnoxious article of dress, " so truly in harmony with the highest type of beauty, that the Corsaletto di Medici is so designated as suggestive of the Venus de Medici,' the statuesque ideal of beauty of form and womanly grace."—Saturday Review. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT CREMORNE GARDENS. —Last night a❑ accident of a frightful character occurred to Valerio, the wire -walker, at Cremorne Gardens. For the last two months this acrobat has been successfully performing on a wire cable measuring 600 feet; and last night he had advanced nearly to the point from which he usually returned backwards when the wire rope suddenly gave way, and he fell heavily to the ground. a distance of upwards of 60 feet. He was immediately taken up in a state of insensibility, and attended to by two medical men who happened to be in the gardens. It was found that he had sustained a fracture of the skull, a broken collar-bone, and other injuries. He was conveyed in an insensible state to the Chelsea Hospital, where he now lies, the house sur geon holding out little hopes of his recovery. It was be lieved that the lightning playing upon the wire rope on Wednesday night was the cause of the accident. HARD WORK.—After a journey from London, artificially lengthened for the purpose of exhibiting her more completely, she was pitilessly dragged from her carriage to a review, from the review to the theatre, from the theatre to the bazaar, from the bazaar to the great din ner, from the dinner to the ball. 'When the ancient Teu tons admitted a young man to rank among their warriors, it was their custom to try his endurance by recondite con trivances for inflicting suffering and hardship. The autho rities at Oxford, in the performance of their office as educa tors of youth, appear to have been acting upon this ancient precedent in training their future Queen for the duties of her toilsome career. ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL FOR LUNATICS.—" More than a hundred years ago," says the Social Science Review, with a grandiose flourish—leading to a rather pre posterous anti•climax, " when poor Noll Goldsmith, a raw student, was reading up his bones,' Johnson struggling for the dinner he could not every day afford, Garrick strutting on Old Drury's boards, making its inmates laugh and cry by turn; when Sterne, the sentimental, was fiddling and preaching in the North, and little purky George the Second, haunted by visions of Prince Charlie coming "over the sea" with his too faithful followers, sleeplessly turned and twisted, and kicked the clothes from off his regal bed, six good citizens of London banded themselves together to start a hospital for lunatics." THE LONDON CABBY A PARIAH.—" Let a cab man," says one of the fraternity, whose opinions aro quoted in the London Review, "go to a book stall—those eyes peeping from behind that shelf of books meet his, and he has a perfect stare ; the bookseller immediately takes his stand at his elbow, and he is con scious of being an unwelcome guest, and unless he becomes a purchaser—if you may judge from the bookseller's ex pression—he is glad when you are gone." So, too, it is when a man seeks for lodgings. If he is known to be a cab driver, the landlady tosses her head, with a No I of proud disdain. All this is hard to bear. The "contractor," who is an owner of cabs, compels his drivers to sign an agree ment to pay a certain sum per diem, vi.rying from twelve shillings to a pound, and he can then exercise the tyranni cal power of putting the defaulter in prison for any defi ciency. " I have heard cabmen avow that they have bullied people out of treble their fare, justifying themselves by saying, My master won't trust me a shilling—there is a chance of them (the fare) not summoning. SECRET IMPURITY OF MORMONISM. --Joseph Smith (says the Spectator)—than whom a more abandoned debauchee and astonishing liar and hypocrite has never ap peared: even among his own followers—held and practised certain doctrines, such as that of the expediency of syste matic seduction, which his disciples have since been com pelled to dieavow in public, however closely they may ad here to them in secret. A Chinese ambassador is to be sent to Paris in a few months, who will doubtless prove one of the chief fea tures in the next Paris season. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

Lord BROUGHAM called the attention of their lord ships to the papers laid before the house in reference to the slave trade, and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government had communi cated with the Spanish Government in reference to more rigorous steps being taken for the suppression of the slave trade. Earl RUSSELL said all the papers relating to Com mander Wilmot's visit to the King of Dahomey had been submitted to the Government of Spain, who were of opinion that the slave trade was abominable and inhuman, and pro fessed to take every measure in their power forits suppression Of late years they certainly had been more energetic, and the Governor of Cuba had sent home several persons for trial charged with trafficking in slaves.

BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL. The Earl of SHAF TESBURY moved a return of the annual amount of revenues during the last 10 years' admini stration by the authorities of Bethlehem Hospital, the total amount of money received from parliamentary grants, the average number of patients in the hospital in each year for ten years apart from criminal patients, the total number of the governors of the hospital, the number of special meetings since January, 1863, in reference to the removal of the hospital and the number of go vernors present on each occasion, and the questions proposed and the divisions taken. The noble earl said the time had now arrived when the removal of Beth lehem Hospital from its present position was absolutely necessary, as it was utterly impossible that the measures now known to effect the best results upon lunatics with a view to their recovery could be carried out in ' the present building. Fifty years ago the present Bethlehem stood in the midst of fields ; but how was it now ? There was little more than 19 acres left in its original state, and he did not think any person would consider that suffi cient i space for the purposes of such a vest institu tion as Bethlehem, where it was absolutely necessary the patients should not be subject to over-crowding, but, on the contrary, have the greatest amount of fresh air without which it was totally impossible there could be the slightest hope of their ultimate recovery. The manner in which the governors conducted the institution was mos t extensive, and he did not know of any charity where its privileges were administered with less advantage. One of the great reasons that had been urged in favour of keeping Bethlehem was that the patients would be deprived of the amusement of walking down Newington-cause way and looking at the shops, but he could hardly imagine a more ridiculous notion. Another reason for its removal was, that the institution should not be put to the expense of removal. Why, the institution was supported by the public, and if the public wished for its removal, why should it not take place ? Bethlehem Hospital had the magnificent increase of £20,0a0 per annum, and yet only 200 patients, or on the average 240 were weekly maintained in the institution. Such an income ought at least to admit of the maintenance of 400 or 500 inmates. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.—This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PUBLIC WORKS MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS (ADVANCES) BILL. Mr. VILLIERS brought up the report on this bill. Mr. BENTICK expressed a hope that the security the right hon. gentleman proposed to offer was of a valid and substantial character, and that there was a reasonable pros pect of the money finding its way back in due time into the public purse. He did not consider that emigration was the only remedy for the present distress, but he hoped it was not true that the manufacturers were opposed to it on the selfish g round that they might require the labour. He trusted that the right hon, gentleman would explain the views of the Government on the point. Mr. ASPINAL TURNER. denied the common rumour that the millowners had made large fortunes out of the pre. sent crisis. Many persons, clergymen as well as others, foreseeing the failure in the supply of cotton, had treasured it up, and thus made considerable sums of money. Mr. FERRAND denounced the bill as a miserable one, and one which would never meet the exigencies of the case, It was in very truth a manufacturer's bill, a bill drawn up by the manufacturers of Laneashire, while the interests of the working people had never been consulted. He recom mended arrangements for sending ICO,OOO of our unem ployed factory operatives to the colonies. Such a course must be taken, it was a question of time. He be lieved the operatives would not be quiet another winter. The 400,000 unemployed people were tired of being paupers, and looked confidently, and, indeed, as they had an un doubted right, to the House of Commons for relief—a million or so oat of the many which they had been instru mental in adding to the many millions of the wealth of the country, and of which the Chancellor of the Exchequer boasted the other night, in order to place them in compara tive comfort in the colonies. The peat advocate of free trade, the honourable member for Wolverhampton (Mr. Villiers) and the hon. member for Rochdale (Mr. Cobden) contended before its advent that its adoption would enable the people of this country to meet successfully every contingency that might happen ; but it had fallen to pieces like a pack of cards for it had provd of no avail in the present emergency. It was said that this was au excep. tional case, that being so exceptional alleviating remedies were required. What guarantee had they that if peace were made between the North and South that it wculd last. Was not the war in Italy an exceptional state of things, though he cou ld name many others. The f act was, th e manufacturers wanted to keep the unemploye d w o rk people hanging about the mills in case they should happen to need them, The opinion of the beat informed was to the effeete;n in the th eea a r t a it ws e s mutotesrtlfyavimouproasbeliebleeirtcoumressttaonrceetsh,efocrottwtoo or cotton trade, e implored the house to accede to th e pray ers of the opera tives,H and would give them th e means of emigrating.

(H ear. ) They h a d then but two hours to discues the measure, and if the bill were not quickly pro ceeded with and passed through comm ittee to-day, the ses sion would probably end without its becoming law. (Cheers.) The bill would allow £1,200,000 to be directed to the employment of operatives,which would be a great boon. If the hon. member desired, he could in committee propose that a certain sum be a ppropriated to emigration; but as there were 19 clauses in that hill, he begged the hon• mem ber not to hinder the house going into committee. Mr. VILLIERS deprecated at this juncture raising quec tions which bad been discussed and settled during the last 20 years. His opinions on free trade, and those with whom he had acted, were unaltered. The bill would be a great boon to the unemployed operatives, and trusted no time would be lost in proceeding with it. The resolution empowering £1,200,000 to be devoted to the purposes of the bill was then agreed to. The house then went into committee on the bill, and vari ous amendments were introduced into several of the clauses. Mr. ADDERLEY inquired why the Government took no powers in the bill with respect to emigration? Large numbers et the eperative s d es i re d to em i gr ate, and it was very right that they should be helped to do so. Colonel W. PATTEN said the central committee had re ceived large sums of money from the colonies, but no stipu lation had been made that emigrants should be sent out in return. tinder the existing law parishes were empowered to allow a certain sum per head to eligible people who de sired to emigrate. If the funds raised by this bill were so applied posterity would be improperly taxed. Dlr. - VILLIERS submitted that the kill was for a specific purpose. and a discussion on emigration was not germane to the matter. The reirrdning clauses, with the exception of the 11th, which was struck out, were then agreed; to, with some amendments and additions. The third reading will starill as the first order on Monday. The house resumed, and adjourned at 20 minute to four o'clock. _ . _ The house met again at six o'clock, and was [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening.

Long v. the Bishop of Cape Town.— Lord Kingedown gave judgment in this case yesterday, on appeal from the Supreme Court of the Cape of Good Hope, by whose deci sion Mr. Long had been suspended from the functions of his office as minister of Mowbray. In 1856 the Bishop of Cape Town held a synod, by which it was enacted that no clergyman should be admitted to a living except sub mission to the laws of the synod. Mr. Long protested against such a pr, ceeding, and in 1861 a second sy nod was held, and as he still refused to obey its orders a court of assessors was held, and he was deprived of his office. He applied to the Supreme Court, but the decision was affirmed, and from this declaration he appealed to the Privy Council. Their lordships yesterday considered the whole of the proceedings of the Bishop's Court illegal. The appeal was allowed with costs against the bishop. , C R IME IN FRANCE.— fhe Court of Assize of the Lozere has just t ried a y oun g woman named Marie Vidal on a charge of having attempted to murder ano th er young person named hose Beaufils, residi ng at 8, St. youngde serted and mane offers nanied of marriageßrassac, who o R soon oseafter her,Bea ufiin, which were accepted, and th e contract of marriage was signed on the 25th of J anuary last, As soon as the pri soner saw herself deserted by Brassac she beg an to meditate projects of vengeanc e on h er rival, and four times attempted to poison her by putti ng phosphorus, o bt a ined from matches, in her food.
