EVEN ING EDITION. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was not aware that any objection had been made when large expenses were in curred in inquiring into the abuses of the English Corpo rations, and the present expenses were equally legitimate. Mr. WILLIAMS was surprised at the ground that had been taken up by the Hon. Gentleman who had last spoken. In this instance a direct application had been made, and the parties intereatcd ought to have borne the expense. WAKL EY thought this was opening a source of patronage to the Government which ought to be closed at once. No local expense should be defrayed by the pablic. The Committee of the Privy Council was actin. , merely in a judicial capacity and he called on them to show an instance of any parties acting in a ju dicial capacity being called on to defray the expellees of inquiry. He observed another article in these estimates. Prince and Pr;ncess Hohenlobe from Woolwich to Os tend, 101. Now, if the Prince had come over here to perform a miraculous cure, he thought those on whom he had operated should have paid his expences.—(A laugh. ) Sir E. KNATCHBULL said that the Right Hon. Gentleman was starting another bare. Mr. WAKLEY—ibeg the Right Hon. Gentleman's pardcn-:—I am not starting a bare, but a Prince and Princes; --(A laugh.) Mr. BRoTHEIIION hoped the Hon. Member for Finsbury would adhere to his principle that the public ought not to pay local charges—at present the public paid for the Police, of which the borough of Finsbury had the benefit. Mr. WAKLEY had always objected to it. Mr. WARBURTON supported the vote, and consi. dered the Guvernment was justified in the course it had pursued, _ Mr. \V. MILES thought all this diieussion would have been spared, had his amendment to the Municipal Act been agreed to. — Mr. BULLER considered that as the establishment of a good police in B o l ton an d M anc h ester had concerned the public, the public should bear the expense. The riots at Bristol cost the inhabitants of that town hundreds of thou. sands of pounds; and the removal of troops in cons(. quence cost the country a great deal which might have been saved if there were a good municipal police at Bristol. This showed that a local police was a general advantage. Mr• PRINGLE supported the same view. Capt BARCLAY and Lord HowieK made a few remark, an i the Hon. Member for Coventry withdrew his amend. meat. Sir S. CANNING drew attention to the item cf 9 ,795/. for the mission of Mr. l'Gregor and Dr. Bow ring. He wanted to know if it was necessary to employ itinerant gentlemen so ? Then the expenses that had been incurred by the Earl of Durham in Canada ought to be called to the attention of the Committee, as he con sidered they required some further explanation. The House, perhaps, would hardly believe that those expenses amounted to upwards of 50.0001. : no doubt they had been properly incurred, but still he thou g ht t h ey requ i red ex planation, f or th e y greatly exceeded the expenses of simi lar missions. of which the Noble Earl bad himself com plained. He did rot mention this invidiously, but be was ieduced to bring this forward in consequence of the recollection of the parties with which Lord Durham had always been connected.—(Cries of " Order.") Mr. C. BULLER could not but condemn the course adop.ed by the Right Hon. Baronet. He did not think it fair, either towards the House or the Noble Earl to whom he had alluded. Sir S. CANNING rose amid loud cries of "Order." Mr. BULLER said no imputations bed come from his side of the House which could have induced the Right Han. gentleman to adopt the very extraordinary course of reviving personal feelings and bygone animosities, which he had hoped were slumberieg in Hansard's Per liamentary Debates.—(A laugh.) He. admitted that when a large expenditure was incurred the country had a right to some explanation of the circumstances connected with it. The Right Hon. Gentleman surely would not contend that some outlay should not be in curred in sending out to such a colony a Nobleman on a special mission as Governor-General ? Sir S. CANNING—A Rr•puhlie. Mr. C. BULLER—A Republic ? Sir S CANNING —A Repuhlicaa Government in form. Mr. C. BULLER hoped the report of the present debate would not find its way to the public, because it would not impress them with a very profound opinion of the coloeial information of the Right Hon. Gentleman.—( Hear, hear.) The House would bear in mind that the espouses of the nreessaries of life we. - c much greater in Canad r than it: that country, and these were considerably in creased by the large additional body of military which were thrown into that small community. It should also be , 'Teolevied that there trie s no llouqe for the Governor, and a good deal of expense was incurred in fitting up the /louse of Assembly, which had been vacated for the Go r:rnor's residence. There sere also delegations to the venous provinces, which the Governor had received or ders from home to attend to ; and there were also travel ling and other incidental expenses, which should be taken into account. All the personal expeeses of the Esrl cf Derhsin were defrzyed by hirnsclr, and many of the items of expenditure incurred, such as the furniture that had been purchased, was still available for the benefit of his successors in the Government of the colony. Mr. GOULBURN thought it would ha much better to grant a fixed sum, than to give any Governor an unli mited power of drawing any sums he pleased, Mr. LABOUC HERE was relieved from the necessity of entering into any explanation respecting the expenses of tee Earl of Durham's mission by the statement of tho , Hon. Member for Liskearcl, but must state that in the opinion of his Noble Friend at the bead of the Colo niel Department, that expenditure had not beer. by any means extravagant. With regard to the expense cf his passeges, to and from this country, much misrepresentation had gone• abroad. The fact was, Lord Durham had not interfered in that matter at all—be haul merely sent to the Admiralty a list of persons for whom he required passages, leavingr, the whole o f th e d eta il s to them. With regard to the missions of De. Bowring, and M. 31'Gregor, he was surprised to hear the Right 1 Hon. Gentleman say that the Ambassadors posessedsuffi cieet knowledge to enable than to do without such services. The Right Hon. Gentle:nen himself had admitted the • merits of Dr. - Bowring, and lie was happy in that oppor. tunity of bearing his testimony to the talents. acquire. meats, and industry of Mr. M Gregor. No public servant had ever rendered greater se:vices than that Gentleman. Sir S. CANNING explained. Lord PALMERSTON defended the mission of Mr. M'Gregor and Dr. Bowring, on the ground that they collected the most accurate statistical and commercial 1 knowledge in the localities which they visited. They were eminently qualified for their duties. Dr. Bowring made a very valuable report on the commerce of Syria and Turkey. He (Lord Pelme . :stori) here vindicated him i self against an unfounded charge of indifference to the commercial interests of the country. Under his superin tendence a great deal had been done to collect and methodic commercial information of the most valuable kind.—( Hear. ) Mr. HUME said, with respect to what had been stated relative to Dr. Bowring, the reports- of that Gentleman contained matters far more valuable then any information that have been given to the country under the auspices of the Right Hon. Bert. Sir S. CANNING explained. - Ms. HUME wished to know what opportunity would be afforded for going into the other items, of which he beli.ved there was fifty or sixty. Mr. F. BARING would have no objection to any other day that might be convenient being appointed. The vote was then agreed to, the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. Mr. HUME moved for an account cf the amount of Exchequer Bills in the hands of the Commissioners for Savings Banks on the 20th of November, 1836 ; the • amount of such Bills purchased in the •year ending the 20th day of November, 1837 ; the price and the dates at which these Bills were purchased, the rate at which they were converted into 3 per cent. or other Stock, the amount and the Stock purchased, and dates of such conversion.

Mr. 11 17 Ai E moved for certain returns of which he had given notice relative to the Bank of England. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob jected to the production of the returns, and the motion was withdrawn.

TIME S. —The City has been in a state of considerable agitation all day, Friday, in consequence of the Bank no tices for raising the rates of discount and interest, end the circumstances under which they were issued. In most commercial quarters, as well as upon the Stock Exchange, the announcement appears to have been extirely unex pected • which, consideri ng t h e cont i nue d unfavourable state o f exchanges for some time previously, coupled with the well. known low stock of bullion in the coffers of the Bank, is surprising, for parties whose sagacity in money affairs is generally proportionate to the interest they have always at stake in them. The reserve maintained on the subject is creditable to the Directors, who have not, on every occasion, hitherto stood so free of sus• picion. In their public capacity, in arfother respeci, their conduct with regat'd to that portion of the notice by which Exchequer bills, as well as other approved securi ties, arc excluded from the benefit of the customary ad vances on loan, has given occasion to much animadversion, and led to the inference that not only have they been themselves to Treasury purposes, by deferring their determination to a period too late for holders to avail themselves of their option for taking new bills, or receiving payment of the old in money, but that they have taken advantage of their own position for effect ing sales of their own stock of Exchequer-bills, or the greater part, at the high rates of premium lately ruling, to the great injury of the purchasers or present holders. The Bank sales of Exchequer bills have been noticed under this head on frequent occasions" of late, but we may suppose in charity that the Directors themselves did not foresee this state of things. Some curiosity is expressed how the Bank country branches are likely to escape out of the difficulties created 'by those contracts, which they are known to have en tered into some time ago, for supplying various joint-stock banks in their neighbourhoods with Bank of England notes, or discounting for them, to specified amounts, at 31 per cent, on condition that such banks should refrain from issuing their own notes. It is clear that the execution of such contracts of that kind as may still be in force will not only entail a serious loss upon the Bank by all the differ ence between 34. and q per cent., but will operate to pre vent that restriction of the circulation which it is the chief object of the Bank itself now to enforce. As yet, of course, nothing can be known of the effect which the rise in the rates of interest and discount, with the limitation of the securities to be advanced upon, will produce in the country at large, but more especially in the manufacturing districts of the north. In the present distressed state of those parts, it must probably aggra vate the pressure for money before experienced, and so tend to cripple still more the before limited operations of trade. Some of the Joint-stock Banks there, it is under stood, are, and have been of late, too deeply engaged in extricating themselves front the consequences of 1 former prodigalities in discounts of paper cot readily convertible, and loans on brick walls and machinery, to be able to come efficiently to the help of the trading inte rests. But it is stated that one at least of the private banks, and one too among the most wealthy in the king. dom, has found it more advantageous of late rather to limit the amount of its discounts here, where its town establish ment is uatailly among the largest takers of bills in the market, and to transfer more of its activity and means to the country, where it has seasonably come to the relief of sonic of the larger description of traders, who, by the re verse action of the joint-stock 'Lanka were embarrassed for want of that customary accommodation which in quiet time , was more cheaply and readily afforded at those establish ments. CH RONICLE.—The greatest excitement still pre vails in the City, and nothing is thought or spoken of but the extraordinary conduct of the Bank in rescinding an order so recently issued in respect to loans upon approved securities, and now confining its accommodation to mere bills of exchange, without having given any intimation o' their intention, so that the holders of Exchequer bills, for instance, might have had an Opportunity of demanding payment, instead of renewing - the bills with the Govern " n ens, under the expectation--indeed, implied certainly, that they would be taken by the Bank of England as security. It has been customary for some years for the Batik of England, when the stocks shu: for the payment of dividends, to give notice to the public of its willingness to make advances on " Bills of Exchange, Exchequer bills, and other approved securities," et the current rate, stating what the rate is, for a period of not less than ten days, and for sums of not less that. 2,000/. to be repaid, in about a fortnight or three weeks after the payment of the dividends. This was done to pre. vent the evils which arose formerly in consequence of all moneys being collected to be paid into the Exchequer, preparatory to the issue of the dividends, which caused for a short time a most inconvenient scarcity of money, and which was followed a few days afterwards by as great a glut. By the operation of the Bank these two evils were completely obviated persons borrowed money for short periods, which was repaid when the dividends were re ceived ; and by these means the circulation was kept in something- like an equal state. This year, in due season, the usual notice was given, and in consequence of the high rate of interest then current, it was fixed at five per cent., being considerably higher than for a great many years. This was not at all complained of, as the public relied upon the good faith of the Bank, which, spite of its many errors, has generally been kept—ied -ed always, with the excep tion of the case of Messrs. Wildcs, during the American panic. B an k ers and others, in fact, considring that they could always apply to the Bank, did not liesL ate to lend money freely at 5 per cent., and did not indeed think it necessary to keep the usual reserves, having their Exche quer bills ready, as they thought, to obtain money the moment it, was required. What will be the case now ? Bank,rs and others being disappointed of this resource, cannot necessarily give the same accommodation to them, clients, but will, on the contrary, feel it requisite to have larger sums in their chests, which will be *antamount to subtracting a very great sum from an nittudy limitedly supplied market, to be kept in perfect inutility. This reiiance upon the honour of the Bank has had the effect of maintaining the premium cn Exchequer Bins, so as to citable time Chancellor of the Exchequer to renew the bills which have just become due at the same interest of per diem, which could not have been done, had not the Bank deluded the public by false hopes, and which, indeed: makes it appear that the Bank bad been in collusion with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to enable him to get over his difficulties at the expense of the public. Had the Bank considered the present a prudent measure, why did it give notice at all of lending money ? Had the re verse been adopted, the public would have had no right to complain ; but having given notice, and then acting contrary to it, is a manifest injustice to the public. The evil, if any could have occurred from the Bank continuing its advances on Exchequer bills, could only have lasted for little more than a fortnight, when the dividends will be due; and when it is certain the advances would have been repaid. An in stance of the serious mischief which might have occurred from the notice of yesterday was given this morning in the City. A leading broker had engaged to provide 50,000/. to-day for a house at the West End, relying from the notice from the Bank of the 30th ultimo, upon the cer tainty ofprocuring the money upon the deposit of Exchequer Bills ; and the consequence was that they were put to great annoyance to comply with their engagement. Sup. pose this had occurred to a weak house, what incalcula ble mischief it would have occasioned through its ram:fica tions 1 It was stated in leading circlet this afternoon, that the Directors of the Bank of England begin to see the ab solute necessity, and intend to enter into an arrangement with the Bank of France respecting a transmission of specie to some extent. Our Contemporary of the Morning Post seems to think that we over-rate the amount of gold and silver in the coffers of the Batik of France, when we give it at 450,000,000 francs; but by reference to the last return it will be found we are under the mark by 10,000,000 francs, the actual quantity being 460,000,000 fraucs. There has been a further depression of 4 per cent. in Consols, being last quoted at 931, but during the day they were m ar k e d as low as 93 t o k. Exchquer bills are particularly heavy at Bs. to 10s. premium, as likewise Bank Stock at 189 to 190. POST.—There was but little business doing in the Foreign Bill Market this afternoon (Friday), and the rates of exchange were considered upon the whole to have been much the same as on Tuesday. Some parties were disposed to hope that there was a shade of improvement, while others were of opinion that if there were any altera tion at all, it was certainly the other way. On Paris the quotation was again snore in favour of the drawer, but it was not much. Three months' paper was done to 251*. 45c. to 50t. On Hamburg, a point of almost equal im portance, for the purpose of reference and comparison, there was a reaction in favour of the taker; the transac tions were, however, so extremely limited as to have afforded hardly any test of the effect of the Bank notices of yesterday. In the course of next Week something more conclusive may be stated upon the subject. Amsterdam was 12 21 to Antwerp 12 2, Hamburg 13 9.1 to 101 ; and St. Petersburg 11. The measures generally of the Bank do not appear to have been disapproved of in any quarter. The holders of Exchequer bills arc perhaps rather sore to find that those securities cannot now be received in deposit for advances, but the truth is the usu:y law does not admit of it. A formal application was made to the Bank Directors to-day from the Stock Exchange, to the effect, that they might be taken as heretofore. The Bank, however, refused on this ground to comply with it. The Directors would, we dare say, have no objection whatever to grant the usual facili ties, could it only be accomplished without a violation of the Act. In the course of a short time it is probable that the impediment which exists at present, with regard to the public securities, may be removed, so far at least as Exche quer bills are concerned, a Bill, having this for its object, being, we rather think, now before the House of Commons. The complaint as to the Bank having substituted one notice for another, does not seem to be entitled to any attention. The Directors have been guilty of no breach of contract towards those who thought fit to avail them selves of the first. They of course retain their advances, if they choose to do so, until the expiration of the period prescribed for the reimbursement of the came in that docu ment, namely, the 23d of July ; but the Bank do not consider it expedient to advance any further on the original terms, and there was nothing in the May,notice to compel them to go on doing so to a given period. A young man was rescued from drowning on Wednesday evening, whilst bathing in the Severn at the top of / I ndict -eft, by Henry Evans, a coach painter. It seems that the party alluded to was unable to swim, and Evans's attention was directed to him by some persons on the bank, who noticed that he was in difficulty, and appa rently sinking. Evans immediately hastened into the river to his assistance, when be was seized by the drowning man, but he succeeded in extricating himself from his grasp, ar , d placed him out of danger. We understand that iiis is the second occasion on which Evans has been instru mental in saving the life of a fellow creature under similar circumstances.— Worcestershire Chronicle. THE CR OPS.—The accounts received on Thurs. parts of th e ki ngdom respecting the crops continue most l favourable. In many districts the hay harvest has commenced, while the recent rains have done much to forward the grain, potato, and turnip crops, without impeding operations in this important department of the I Ltrmer's labours. THE SUN. LONDON SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 183 J LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNI? 19. THE " BENEFIT" OF AN ACTION.—John Callingliam, a simple looking personage, attired in a clean " smock frock," presented himself to be released from " durance vile." It appeared that the insolvent had brought an action for an assault, and got a shilling damages; be had been put into prison for the costs. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—SO you have got into prison after getting a verdict. Mr. CREswELL remarked that he had gained a loss. CHIEF COMMISSIONER—YOU had better pocket the affront another time than bring an action, and get yourself into prison.—(A laugh.) The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL , COURT MA NSIO.:V-HO USE. A young man, named George Hawkins, was brought hefere the LORD MAYOR, charged with having robbed his fellow-lodgers. The pri,uner, it was state 1, was in the habit of waiting until some other young men who slept in the sarre room in lodging-house, went to sleep, and then picking their pockets. One poor fellow missed a shilling one morning, and four shillings and sixpence another morniog. Upon mentioning his suspicions as to the honesty of the prisoner to the rest, he was informed that the same sort of trick had been played upon them, and they all agreed to watch the suspected party, and to pretend to be asleep. The) accordingly began to snore in concert, and they observod the prisoner move like a ghost towards the trowsers of the complainant, and slip his hand into the pocket. The moment the prisoner got hold of the silver the snoring ceased, and he found himself, to his horror, in the grasp of one of the persons whom lie had previously robbed. Another victim stated that he had to his surprise missed in the morning money which he perfectly well remembered be had had in his pocket et night on going to b e d. The LORD MAY OR —Did you mark the money on the last occasion ? The complainant replied in the negative, The Loan MAYOR —You were wrong in not having done so; this is a most dangerous fellow. Well, prisoner, what have you to say to this? Prisoner—lt's a mistake, my Lord; I was going to bed, and the chair on which the clothes were was in my way, so I just put my hand to it when I was seized and accused of robbing, but I never thought of such a thing. The prisoner was remanded. lON A L ED UUATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin. The strife of sects is now, as it ever has been, the great obstacle against the mental and moral improvement of the population. This fierce intolerance cannot be pacified by soothing compliances. Its selfish grasp can only be shook off by indignant resistance. Wdki the good. will of our sect triumphant, no education of the children of the poor should be suffered, unless its earliest lessons en force an implicit belief in their peculiar tenets. Nor are the professors of other sec's behind them in eagerness to infuse their respective dogmas among the first rudiments of education. It is not enough that the lessons give metal and moral instruction, and inculcate feelings of adoration and gtatitude to the Almighty, and of reliance on his justice under an expectation of rewards or punishments. According to the priesthood, to render any education reli gious the first lessons of little children must insist on their implicit belief in such mysteries and miracles, and personal communications between the Almighty and mortal men as their clergy place before them, and unless this be done, they ought to be kept in ignorance In the practical lessons of natural religion the good and wise of all ages, sects, and nations, are mainly agreed, and so far religion might be taught intelligibly to chil dren without disturbing the prejudices of parents of differ ing sects. But this reasonable course is denounced as deistical, and even atheistical, by rapacious sectaries. There must be an unqualified belief in supernatural dogmas to begin w i t h, or , say t h ey, t h ere is no religion. I‘l6'w, I contend, that if we were all of one faith nothing could be more irrational than offering as first lessons to children tales' of mysteries and miracles, which are unlike all that they see is na ture, and wholly beyond their comprehension, and in. sisting that unless they declare in their entire belief in these things they will commit the greatest of crimes ! What is this but to crush the mental faculties, while pre tending to @pen them ; and to corrupt morality in its most vital germination—" the love of truth ?" But as there are a vast many conflicting creeds on supernatural matters, and each creed is insisted upon by its possessors to be the only true faith, while all others are proscribed as heretical-and damnable, it is additionally improper to moot the doctrinal points of any sect in a plan of national education. Why raise up Sectarian hatreds amongst children, even in their first lessons of Christian charity? The Bible and Testin cnt abound with excellent, pray tical, moral, and religious precepts (published as selec. tions). Why not begin with these, and leave the strife stirring dogmas alone till the youthful mind is developed, and may be supposed capable of understanding them ? II this were done not only the children of Lutherans and Papists, but of Calvinists, and Dissenters of all sects, of Jews, and Turks, of Hindoes, Chinese, Japanese, and Sun worshippers, might receive religious as well as moral inst uction in one school-room. For the pure religion of nature is ackn ow l e d ged by all sects—it is universal; it has existed in a ll t i mes, and it breathes good will and harity to all. It is only upon the supernatural, which exceeds all human knowledge, that men arc fiercely positive and ran.torously intolerant. I, therefore confidently insist that the doctrinal points of religion, whereon men are d vided into sects and exasperated against each other, ought not to enter into any plan for the national education of poor children, but that the practical lessons in morals and religion contained in the Bible and Testament should be selected and used.

THE CHELSEA MURDER. William J. Merchant having been placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Paynton, pleaded guilty. When that part of the indictment was read, which stated "that you then and there did, 31 ith a razor, inflict a deadly wound eighteen inches long and one inch deep in the throat of the said Elizabeth Paynton, of which wound she died," the prisoner became dreadfully agitated, large drop of tears rolled down his cheeks, and he was nearly fainting . He prese n t e g a lamentable spectacle, which will n o t soon be e ff aced from the memories of t'.ose oho witnessed his wretched state, every muscle of his body appeared convulsed. After a short pause The prisoner, in tremulous accents, said " I am guilty." Lord Chief Justice TlNDAL—Prisoner at the bar, I wish you well t o un d erstand the nature of your plea, and the conse quences attending it. Do you say that you at-e guilty of the murder charged against you in the indictment ? Prisoner.—Yes, my Lord, I am guilty. The LORD CH IEF J USTICE. —DO not suppose by pleading guilty that there will be any extenuation of punishment. It is a eime in which mercy cannot be shown in this world. The prisoner persisted in his plea of guilty. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—Let the prisoner's plea be re corded, Lord Chief Justice Txxn,tr, then put on the black cap, and proclamation of silence having been made, proceeded to pass sentence in a most solemn and impressive manner. His Lordship saA,—Prisoner at the bar, you stand convicted on your own voluntary confession of the wilful murder of a fellow being. By your own voluntary confession you stand at that bar guilty of a crime which the laws of God as well as the laws of man visit the offender with unsparing severity. On loAinn , over the dep os iti ons , I am not surprised that you should have confessed your guilt. ( The Learned Juddge here re marked on the circumstances attending the murder, which must be fresh in the recollection of our readers, during which the prisoner was obliged to be supported by two of the officers of the court. He cried most bitterly.) His Lordship proceeded— I do not wish to aggravate your unhappy and wretched state by alluding to the probable motive which instigated you to commit so foul a crime. I will leave these motives to your own con science, and to the discerning eye of Him who is the Searcher of all hearts, and from whom no secret is hidden. I must, how ever, implore yon during the short thxe you have to live in this world, to devote it to prayer and penitence—in prayer that is fer vent, and penitence which is sincere. (The Learned Judge was greatly affected, and could scarcely proceed.) After a pause, he said, Prisoner, let me beseech you to offer up your fervent prayers to that Being who alone can show mercy ; and may Almighty God have mercy on your soul. His Lordship then passed sen tence of death on the prisoner in the usual form, and ordered that his body should be buried within the precincts of the gaol. The prisu.icr is only 18 y ears of age, of small stature, and very mild countenance. He was removed from the bar in a most deplorable state. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOULOGNE SUR MER-TUESDAY. These last two days have been with us two days of disasters. Last week a man arrived at Amblcteuse in a boat which he had stolen from Broadstairs. Having no passport, and there being something suspicious in his behaviour, he was brought to Bou logne under surveillance of the police, and is now safely lodged in prison : unfortunately, his robbery has occasioned the loss of two lives. Orders were issued for the stolen boat to be brought to Boulogne l two men, to Whom the Command was given, started from Ambleteuse on Sunday morning, it is sup posed they knew but little how to manage a sailing-boat, for shortly after they had hoisted the sails the boat upset, andboth perished. On Monday morning the Phoenix coach, that leaves this town for Paris every morning at nine o'clock, passing through Amiens, started with fourteen passengers. About 12 o' c l oc k the rumour ran, that in racing with another coach, it had been upset, two passengers killed, three with broken legs, and all the passengers more or less seriously wounded. The Director of the office, Mr. Hopkins, an Englishman, with true English feeling immediately ordered a fresh diligence, with post horses, to be prepared; a long caravan for the convenient transport of the injured, and the hospital litter packed in it started with the diligence with two surgeons to afford every assistance to the wounded. On arriving at Hesden ]'Abbe, six miles from Boulogne, the spot where the coach had upset, the conducteur was found on his back on a cottage floor, covered with blood, his foot literally slit in two, from b e t ween the second and third toe to the instep, ancl a compo un d fracture of the leg, just above the ancle. The leg was immediately amputated by Dr. Dunaud and his son, the conductcur not uttering a two, a vete r i nary surgeon— who of th e same coach passing groan.who had just over his foot—having fallen down in attempting to mount the Among r recovered the ov e r passengers, stehnegeeffr s e imperial while the coach was at full speed—had his thigh bro ken, and an Irish clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Bourke, from Clon mel, had his thigh also broken, both, however, are doing well. The outside passengers, among whom were six Scotch mecha nics, going to Ameins, escaped unhurt; two ladies in the coupre were a little scratched in the face, but so little injury did they suffer that the whole proceeded on their journey, ex cepting ' a brother clergyman who returned with the Rev. Mr. Bourke, into town last night. But Monday will not be soon forgotten by the inhabitants of Boulogne. Though Sunday closed upon us cold as a Novem ber evening, Monday morning broke upon the town with a close, sultry, and oppressive atmosphere: Till three o'clock the weather was like a breezeless day within the tropics. At three a thunder storm f rom the eastward, with extraordinary large and h eavy drops of rain falling a l t ond in s, tewith ;at half-p as t f our t h e c vivid flashes of lightnin g , returned, accompanied by a d e l uge of rain ; hail, as large as ral : ' thunder passed and over u mosts pigeons' eggs falling with the rain. At half-past five, hail stones of an enormous size—three of which weighed four and three quarters, five, and five and a half ounces—poured down like a shower of bullets. The storm and deluge of rain lasted, with very little intermission, till three o'clock on Tuesday morning. The datnage done is beyond calculation : half a million of francs will not repair it. In the town the beautiful D'Herlan Arcade is gone. I do not flank that there are . ten panes of glass left ; Capecure, from the Pont de Servin, west ward, is under water ; boats are plying in the streets, and people have deserted their houses. The gardens, with stone' walls, are six feet under water, and great fears are en tertain,xl that tile homes, which are all built on sand, will give way. The Liane appears three miles broad, and at one o'clock this day, though the sluices had been opened from eight o'clock, the rush of water from the Liane into the harbour was at least 30 tons a second. No visible decrease could be noted, indeed some maintained that the Liane was rising ; all looked with apprehension to the time of high water in the harbour, which would, as it were, be a darn to the Laine. lam happy to say, however, that no farther evil resulted. The country, and the beautiful gardens that sur rounded the town are a scene of desolation. The angel of destruction seems truly to have sweet over thorn. Wimille and Pont-de-Briques present the same aspect as Capecure but cottages, stabl es , cows and hOrses hare been swept a way, and report. adds ten lives lost, which is not the case nearer to us. The crops hare been- laid prostrate, in some parts cut down as with a sickle. The fruit trees are deprived of all their promise ; an d i n my own garden a sp r i ng h as starte d up, which pours out three gallons of water per minute. Green houses and hot-houses, for twenty miles round, are a melan choly heap of h. oken glass Every person looks blue after the disaster, except the glaziers; and they never looked so inerr. in their lives. I believe that there is not a house, With; wenty miles, that has not suffered damage. G--- 51st Foot—Ensign E.

We received the above letter so full of catastrophe yes. terday. The writer, who signs himself G., is at present un known to us. The communication appears to have undergone revision, and the post-mark Dover, June 20, is on the letter. It seems rather strange the news did not come earlier, and the account, we trust, is exaggerated. On referring, however, to the country papers, it appears that storms equally violent- have occurred about the same time in some parts of England.

DREADFUL THUNDER STORMS AND LOSS OF LIfE.- During the last week this city and , neighbourhood have been visited by several severe thunder storms. The first commenced about half past one o'clock on Thursday, and lasted two hours. At its height the rain fell in torrents, accompanied with showers of hailstones of immense. size, which laid large tracts of grass and did consPerable damage to the crops. At Stone, Chaddes ley, Corbet, Belbroughton, Ilarvington, Shewtone, Elmley, and part of Hartlebury, the crops of wheat and barley are' wholly destroyed, to the extent of several - hundred acres. Mr. Joseph Martin, of Stone, hail fifteen lambs washed clown to the bottom of a field, where they floated in four feet of water ; and it was only by the greatest exertions of several men that they were rescued. A tree near the Mitre Oak at Ihrtlebury was shi vered to pieces by the lightning. The houses of the inhabitants in the lower part of the village were flooded,, some of them five feet deep, with the rain. The hall had the appearance of small fragments of ice, measuring several inches in circumference. [Here follows a long list of the damage sustained by nume rous persons in the neighbourhood.] The gins of the Rev. Mr. Peel's conservatory at Waresley was entirely broken, and the Image is estimated at 2001. The glass at the Rev. 'l'. Baker's, of Hartlebury, and at the Rev. T. Hayward's hothouse at Winterfoid, was also broken. At Stourbridge the quantity of rain which fell in the time was immense : all the streets presented the appearance of a rapid river. Part of the park wall of Joseph Pitman, Esq., of the Hill, was down, At J3roekmoor, the front of a re cently,creet,d pause out, and every greenhouse and h o th ou , io the "raglihourhood has • uffere t.

A good deal'of pOnitry and many small birds were killed by the storm ; and the-trees have the appearanc'e' id having been shot at. At Powick the electric fluid, accompanied by an ap palling explosion, struck the south-west pinnacle of the church, and entered the belfr, where it shiiered the framecVork of 414 bells, bet did not injure them ; it then passed, condueted3f the clock wire, into the clock, to which it did no more,dinnage r , than separating portions ,of the' machinery and shivering .q atoms theinuerglass circle o f th e di a l. Th e lightning alsoid entered the' body of the building by the west window, de,„ Inolishing the upper portion of the stone .work in its progress, and, then forced its way into the vestry, where it tore large stones upwards of a hundred weight from the walls, rendertt:g in them also several large fissures. On Monday a second storm passed over this city with terrific violence ; but after every inquiry we do not hear that injury has been sustained from it. 89th Foot—Lieutenant John M'Causland to be Captain, without purchase, vice Gray, :deceased ; Ensign J.

The arrivals since our last report have been 6,700 hhds, This afternoon, in consequence of the public sales of Sugar admissible for consumption, the transactions in the West India market were extremely limited ; the" purchases for the week are only 1,550 hhds and trs, including two public sales, and the general decline in prices-for the week is Is, and in some cases Is Gd; 284 hhds, 33 trs, and 61 brls St Lucia were submitted to public t competition ; th e y went elf heavily, and prices g ave wa y ls ; the whole were, however, sold, fine brown at 623 61, mid yellow 63s to 645, good mid and good 64s Gd to 663, fine 675, very fine 68s.

FOREIGN. --There has been no improvement in the de. mand for Foreign Sugar; white Brazil on the spot cannot at present be quoted cheaper, but the private salts have been limited; ordinary and soft brown and yellow .kinds have become dull of sale, but in strong sorts some business has been done at previous rates : a cargo of Maceio has been sold for Trieste, white 31s 6d, and brown at 21s 6d.

DOG CART CRUELTY.--Notwithstanding the disgust with which the practice of putting dogs in harness to drag lads along our hard roads is viewed, and despite all the laudable exertions of the Cruelty Suppression So. c;ety, the " nuisance" appears unabated. The imposition, on the owner of every dog used for drawing, of a tax, say of 51. a. year, would perhaps prevent the evil. The majority would have been much greater on the third reading of the Jamaica Bill,,had not the division taken place at so early an hour, that many Members were shut out, not expecting the debate could have come to so speedy a termination. We have heard (and indeed have had some evi &nee that in this case truth is the babbler) that a young beauty, not a hundred miles from the most fashionable church in town, has refused an heir apparent to an earldom recently returned from Italy. The cause assigned is a decided preference for a youth about to leave this country with a lucrative appointment abroad. Mr. Charles Howard, brother to Viscount Mor peth, has been appointed one of Lord Melbourne's Private Secretaries, in th e room o f M r . C ow per, appointed a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.

Last week, when sinking a shaft for a well, on the line of the Great Western Railroad, between Bath and Bristol, near Tunnel No. 3, for the purpose of suppleig water for making mortar, the workmen came upon a spring' which Dr. Fairbrother, who has analysed it, considers to very much resemble, if it do not excel, those of the cele brated Harrogate, Moffat, and St. Bernard's Wells Th e Doctor has subjected it to various tests. Among others he pumped the water upon several pieces of silver for a few seconds only, and found that they became black, °3 strongly was the fluid impregnated with sulphur. He is now submitting it to a more minute analysis, the result of which will shortly be given to the public.—lath Chronicle. PLATED TABLE DISH COVERS 15 Guineas the Set.—A B.
