The House of Commons met yesterday at twelve o'clock, when Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Joint-Stock Companies Registration and Regulation Bill. The motion was opposed by Mr. HAwns, a lengthened discussion ensued, Mr. Wm - Es finally withdrew his amendment, and the House went into Committee. Several clauses were agreed to and the House re sumed. The Smoke Prevention Bill was withdrawn, and after the transaction of some other business of little importance, the House adjourned. The House of Lords did not sit yesterday. We recur to the debate of Tuesday in the House of Commons, on the subject of the violation of sealed letters at the General Post-office, in order to direct :attention to some of the (hitherto) undisputed allega tions of Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE against that esta blishment. These certainly give a deeper and more sombre col our to the malpractices complained of :than that uniler which they had previously presented themselves. Such a system as they disclose—prac ticed on such a scale, and with correspondence of so sacred a»4 ii nportant a character as the diplomatic COMMUlticati .ms of ForeigtrPowers to their accredited :agents here— is a monster-treachery of which, as ac tually existing •, we had not, we confess, the remotest idea. Mr. Dt 'NCOMBE said, "he had not, of course, ooltained a copy of the warrant; but he understood that, at thi3 atm neat, the lettcrs of foreign Ministers were opened, and here examined and read. He be lieved that the letters to foreign Ministers were, at this moment, opened t nd read by the Right Hon. ,Baronet. Were those Ministers aware of the fact?' . If fact it be, we, fut our parts, shall feel every disposition to follow Mr. \ ) :::luNcomnL's example in his apology to M. GUIZOT, by apologizing in our turn to the whole body of French writes S, legislators, and es isayists. for our depreciation of thei; incessant declama tions against " perfide Albion." A practice which we g.;eve to find Mr. T. DUNCOMBE with so much rea son calling " eminently English"—is eminently in• fameus. But we rely on the well-earned character and reputation of our country for its love of honour, and its constitutional detestation of the employment and the occupation of spies, for our vindication, by the world at large, from the charge of sanctioning by our example that of the Right Hon. Home Secre tary, as displayed in his dealings with Irish and with Post-office questions. And if the moral scandal of such base and prying letter-burglary or breaking be thus disgraceful and enormous, the political conse quences that may flow from the just irritation of offended Cabinets at such insulting dishonesty—such inexcusable tampering with their confidential dis patches ere still more palpable. The inexpe diency of the thing is as great and as apparent as its iniquity. It is a social crin e and a political solecism. Away with the flimsy pre. texts of "justification" under peculiar circumstances, and the purport of secret information. No circum stance, no informations can excuse such an offence in the abstract. If there be a great treason, a mighty movement of hostility to this country, a threatening imminent peril, such as must over-ride all ordinary principles and relations, as their concoction has already outstripped all ordinary protective combi nations—let the fact of such an exigency be broally end boldly stated, without disclosure of particulars and let Parliament be fairly appealed to, whether in open or in secret sitting, for the excessive powers re quired to deal with such an exigency. But nothing of the kind is even pretended in this instance. It is a petty, miserable affair, on Government's own showing, that has induced them to descend to this reckless and unprincipled proceeding. It is said that the letters of Signor Mazzrm were opened at the instance of the Sardinian Govern • ment—that in many cases they were copied, end the copies handed over to the Sardinian Ambas sador. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE undertook to prove that this system of opening and copying letters had been carrying on for two years "in the most unscrupulous manner." Why, such malpractices as these in a State department—such debauching of a Govern ment bureau—sink the character of its adminis trator in the eyes of all true Englishmen to the level of JONATIIAN WILD'S wholesale fence—for the re ception, concealment, discovery, or restoration of stolen goods, according to the views and interests of its reputable and very cunning director. But in the end Mr. WILD'S speculation was not more felicitous than it was honest; and we are mistaken if Sir JAMES GRAHAM—(we warned him, from the first, that the case of MAZZINI could not rest where it was) —will find his Post-office ventures much more illustrious than JONATHAN'S " fence" dealings—much more popular than his own confidential instructions about the meetings at Clonfert and Donnybrook. The speech of Mr. DUNCOMBE elicited from Sir JAMES, after some curious ebullitions of temper at one or two casual interruptions, not only a consent to the institution of the desired inquiry into this affair, but this acknowledgment :—" On a former occasion the Honourable Gentleman said this was a question between the people of England and the Government. Whatever it might have been, he (Sir JAMES) admitted that it assumed that aspect now. He regarded this as a question between the people and the Executive Government." Truly : and the English people with reason complain that their Government have been dishonouring their na tional character—disgracing the public good faith by the practices now to be inquired into. The result of the debate was characteristic. Sir JAMES, on the cardinal principle of Sir R. PEEL'S Government, suc cumbed to circumstances. He proposed a Secret Committee of Inquiry ; but from the list he omitted the name of Mr. DUNCOMBE himself, to whom the country is indebted for the whole exposition of this Ministerial delinquency. This omission was na turally reverted to by several independent Mem bers in speeches of great force, which rendered due honour to Mr. DUNCOMBE. But Sir ROBERT gave these signal evidences, first, of his unbounded re liance on the credulity of the House as to any assur ances personally given by him ; secondly, of the ser vile influence which binds a majority of such hetero geneous materials as any majority of that Ilouse must now be, to a sickening and disgraceful compliance with his views. Thus, he actually declared, with a gravity unruffled by a smile or conscious chuckle, " that he cordially shared in the satiVixtion expressed by Hon. Members that there would be now an opportunity given of obtaining full information on the subject of the invidious power of opening letters." Satisfaction ? Credat, &c. Then, he opposed the addition of Mr. DuNcostrues name to the list on the motion of Mr. JAMES ; and this ungracious ejection was affirmed by a majority of 76. We confess that our hopes of the results, so far as these are to evolve a full, fair, and unflinching report on the mode in which this detest able power of later-opening has been exercised both by Sir JAMES GRAHAM and his predecessors, and the facts attending its use in the particular cases brought forward by Mr. Duiscomnu, are as little sanguine (after the quibbles resorted to by Ministers to avoid giving greater extent and precision to the terms of the instruction to the Committee), as our respect is little " cordial" for the majority of 76, which would not admit into the tribunal the manly and spirited Member for Finsbury, by whose stirring appeals it was extorted from the fears of the Government. The usual weekly meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League took place last evening at Covent-garden Theatre, Avhen such a manifestation of spirit and energy was made, as must convince the free traders throughout the country that the recent decision in the House of Commons against the corn-laws, has, so far from damping the energy of the League, only served to give it an ad ditional stimulus. It is not one, nor a dozen such decisions—when we know the selfish mo tives that were at work in the House of Commons to bring it about—that should strike dismay to the hearts of the Leaguers. Their cause being a just one, and supported by all the right-thinking people in the community, their eventual triumph—and that at no distant date—is certain, if they only persevere with the same unflagging zeal with which they have hitherto carried on the struggle. There is no cause for discouragement, but there is every cause for perse verance ; and should the late majority against the corn-laws have the effect of rousing the League to additional exertion, it will have been productive of good rather than harm to the great national cause of free trade. No political triumph was ever yet achieved without a desperate struggle—without being exposed to a thousand disadvantages—subjected to a thousand discourage ments, from the lukewarmness of some, and the abject despondency of others—but perseverance, in the long run, rarely fails to carry all before it, and this is what the League should itself practice, and stre nuously and incessantly recommend to its myriad supporters throughout the country. Madrid journals of the 25th have been received, and bring no facts of importance but plenty of rumours respecting the plans of the Government. According to some the Cortes is to be dissolved, and a new Cortes to be convoked forthwith. Others state that the Ministerial consultation at Barcelona had suddenly come to a close; that there was a divi sion in the Ministry ; that Senhor Mox had left for Madrid; and Senhor DE VthumA had resigned. The Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash, and 271 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 201 at 59 days, with 1 premium. The article in the Moniteur of Sunday, urging the necessity of making a State provision for the younger sons and daughters of Louis PHILIPPE, has caused a great sensation in Paris and most of the journal 3 comment on it with much severity. It may be inte resting, therefore, to our readers to give a brief out line of their comments on this extraordinary docu ment. The Journal des Debuts publishes it without any remarks. The Globe, a journal supposed to be the organ of the Court, says good men s ill appre• ciate the clearness with which the paper is drawn up, but declines to enter upon the question at present, as " facts must be first known." The paper of M. TniEßs, who of course is anxious not to give offence at Court, throws all the blame on Ministers, and ob serves that " the article of the Moniteur will be read with astonishment, not only in France, but by all Europe; and that everybody will be struck with the infatuation of the Ministers who have advised and promoted such a publication." The Courier Fran cais says, " every one has remarked that the lord of petition presented by the Moniteur in favour of the dotation of the Duke DE NEMOURS coincided with the distribution of the railroads amongst the different parts of the territory and of the Chamber. The Chamber has its share and the Ministry demands a dotation for the Princes. If France be contented, the dynasty must also be satisfied. Such conduct is not dignified, but it is adroit perhaps : dormant, don nant." The Commerce censures the Ministry for yielding on the dotation question to the desire of the Crown, and regards the publication as an official pledge to bring the question before the Chamber at the commencement of the next session. The Quoti dienne thus adverts to it :—" We will not reply to this note; that is the affair of M. DE CORMENIN ; we will merely say that if it be, as we suppose, the an nouncement of a Dotation Bill for the future Regent, it is very maladroit to recal to mind that the first Regent of the name of ORLEANS would never dip into the coffers of the State, for everybody will na turally be tempted to say that his great-great-grand son would do well to follow his example." The France, which places at the head of its article on the Moniteur, the word " Lamentations " in capital letters, and an engraving representing tears in sign of distress, says The dota tion affair enlarges itself. All the younger sons, and the daughters of Louis PHILIPPE are now to he provided for. At the opening of the session the Cabinet must, by means of its friends, have sent some very severe admonitions to the Tuileries to have had any respite. Now that the session is nearly over the attempt is renewed, and it is the Moniteur that is made the organ of the dynastic distress crying for relief." "The Moniteur," says the Siecle," contains an article of which the gravity could not escape the attention of our readers. Bringing forward the question of dotation, which was believed to have been abandoned, the official journal applies itself to the demonstration of two principal propositions—first, that the KING'S sons cannot exist without a dotation ; and secondly, that the KING'S private domain not being sufficient to provide them with one, it is the budget of the State which must provide the funds. This article was the text on Sunday of every conver sation in Paris. It affords matter for a thousand conjectures." The last extract is from the National and is the most bitter of all. It denies the truth of the state ments put forth by the Moniteur, and contends in these words that the Royal Family are amply pro vided for : " A solemn article of the official Moniteur, deliberated with out doubt in the Council of Ministers, has fallen all of a sudden in the midst of the railroad discussions, and on the eve of the budget. This budget is not less than 1,300 mil lions? the floating debt is 500 millions, the reserve of the sinking is absorbed, and the State will require all its re sources until 1855 to suffice for these vast works of public utility which engage the present, and even attack the future. Well then, whilst the country is busied about these great in terests, which are important for its prosperity as for its power, whilst intelligent financiers are recommending the Government to spare the forces of the Treasury and of public credit, in order to turn them to account at thepropermoment, the Cabinet appears occupied with a sole idea—who would be live it ?—with the dotation of the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family! This appears fabulous, unheard of, and yet it is the truth. And what is there new in what is . said ? What argu ment has been invented? What is there that has not been already said and resaid, and torn to pieces with victorious replies? By right, the insufficiency of the private property of the Crown ought to be proved. But is that done by vague allegations? Show your books, and let them be examined to ascertain the truth. The Civil List is so poor, it would seem, as to be on the point of pledging its property at the Mont de Pike. That is exceedingly affecting; and to see this Civil List so cruelly involved, forces tears from our eyes. However, if in place of petitions thus made, we examine facts, perfectly well known t o e ver y one, we feel ourselves somewhat less moved. It will be well to briefly state those facts, for they contain the whole question. Contrary to what had been up to that time the practice, the Duke of Orleans, when on the point of ascending the throne, disposed of his private estates, which ought to have merged in the property of the Crown. He made the property over to his children, reserving to himself a life-interest in it. What was the value of that private domain ? That is naturally estimated by the revenues, and these show that the minimum value of the private domain is 100 millions. The King reserves 12 mil. lions a-year in hard cash from tilt budget, and has, besides, the revenues arising from the property of the Crown, which brings the Civil List up to 22 millions a-year." On Monday the subject was brought under the no tice of the Chamber of Deputies by M. L'HERBETTE who asked M. GUIZOT whether the Government ac cepted the responsibility of the article in the Moniteur, at the same time expressing his amazement that it should have been published. M. GUIZOT replied in the affirmative, and said he himself had held nearly similar language in the Chamber of Peers, when he declared dotations to be the necessary consequences of monarchic institutions. M. DUPIN did not believe that the article had emanated from the KING, while he condemned the mode of re-introducing the question of dotation as unconstitutional.

The excess is chiefly in small-pox, scarlatina, and violent deaths. The depths from small-pox are unusually great, being 51, or 36 above the average. Of the 51 persons who died of this disease, 31 had not been vaccinated. The deaths from scarlatina were 60—average 34; and from violence, 66—average 25. Of these deaths, 14 were caused by suicide, and a considerable proportion from burns and scalds. The thermometer was highest on Monday, the 24th June, 83 . 3, and lowest on Wednesday, 48.

" The Emperor has equally rejected the proferred mediation of England. "The four Spanish Ministers now at Barcelona will return to Madrid at the end of this present week." Our Paris correspondent, writing at two o'clock P.M., says, that the impression produced by the news of the Emperor's obstinacy, in the best poli tical circles, is, that France must have recourse to most decisive measures. France and Spain, it is concluded, are equally set at defiance, and England barred from interference. PARIS BOURSE, TUESDAY, JULY 2, QUARTER TO TWO. The Bourse is better. The Three per Cents., which opened at 81f. 95c., are now freely done at 82. f. sc. The Five per Cents. are 122 f. 45c. No change in Railway Shares. The Madrid journals of the 26th contain little of political importance. Madrid Bourse on the 26th.—Three per Cents., 27 3-16 for cash; Fives, 20 for cash. INDIA. The following extract is taken from the Bombay Monthly Times of the 20th of May : " Considerable alarm prevailed at Shikarpore in conse quence of the return of Captain Tait and Lieutenant Fitz gerald with a force of 800 men, which had been repulsed at Poolajee, and were followed by the enemy back to camp. SINDE. " The Beloochees having come down to plunder the country round Shikarpore, had destroyed several villages within a few miles of our camp. Captain Tait, with 600 irregular horse, and Lieutenant Fitzgerald, with 200 of the camel corps, had gone out in quest of them, and having crossed the desert proceeded till very near the entrance of the I Murree hills—the scene of so many of our misadventures in 1849. The enemy were here in considerable force, and had taken refuge in the strong fort of Poolajee. An attempt was made by Lieutenant Fitzgerald to blow open the gate with powder-bags and storm the town. The first operation was unsuccessful, the leading man carrying the gun powder haring been killed on his way towards the gate. The fire from the walls was found so hot that our troops were com pelled to retire—the enemy following them the whole way back t• camp, a distance of seventy miles. The coast being thus clear, the Beloochees proceeded with fresh alacrity to renew their forays, and to strip the unprotected country round Shikarpore of everything that could be carried away."

We learn from Liverpool, that most extensive and rather important sales of foreign timber are coming on there in a few days, and that large -sized chair and richly-figured table wood, with superb veneer wood, in log and curl, from the best cutting districts—including those of the city—are insured to all who may attend the sales. Fora series of years no such import has been Offered to the trade, and such buyers as may not visit this next periodical sale here will be deprived of a treat or a benefit to themselves, which they may not meet with again for a very long time. We are assured, on the best possible authority, as well as the public prints, that owing to the revolution in the island the cutting of mahogany has been suspended, and that for a long time the supplies from St. Domingo must be limited. There being sufficient time before the sale for these purposes, it is hoped that the cabinet-making trade will test these representations by a personal examination of the several cargoes, and by inquiries through disinterested merchants in the St. Domingo trade ; indeed, experienced residents here will confirm what has been said descriptive of the woods now in port and the state of the island abroad. The Bristol Share report of Solmes and Tiipp, just to hand, in reviewing the movements of the past month, points with reason to the increased traffic of the Great Western line, as the cause of the recent advance in its market value, and states that Bristol and Gloucester remain quiet, be cause the speculators feel disposed to wait the result of the first two or three weeks' traffic. The Bir mingham and Gloucester traffic is represented as having decidedly improved under the new management, and Birmingham and Grand Junction have both rallied from the panic into which the differences had thrown them. The allotment of the new 501. shares for the purchase of the Leeds and Selby line has taken place, and they are recom mended as a good investment at the present rates. The result of the debate on the motion of Mr. Duncombe, in the appointment of a Secret Committee to inquire into the practice of the Home Secretary. and it seems, of his pre decessors, is not relished in the City. There is, we are told, more than one instance of mercantile letters having suffered the same indignity as those of the Italian, the secrecy of whore correspondence-has been violated by the Post-office. There has been an improvement in the Funds to-day, and some of the speculators for a rise begin to show front against the Bears. They have taken Consols at 98a to 98i. Ex chequer Bills have remained at 735. to 755. premium. Bank Stock is worth 1981. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are up to lo2a.

He must be something more than a prophet that can answer the question. There seems nothing for poor Sir Robert but disasters. Last night, knowing that Mr. Duncombe's motion for an inquiry into the Post-office espionage of the Home Secretary would be carried against him, he actually prevailed on Sir James Graham to come forward and make substantially the same motion himself. Was ever humiliation equal to this? Pistol eating the leek was nothing to it. Sir James Graham used to characterise the Melbourne 'Administration as the shabby Ministry. The epithet " shabby" may be applied with much propriety to the Peel Ministry, and with a peculiar propriety to the Home Secretary himself. " We thank thee Jew, for t eachin g us that word." The country will s h are i n o ur gratification that an inquiry has at last been extor t e d from Ministers. Eng land owes to Mr. Dunco m b e a d e bt o f gratitude which it can never discharge,. for the able and energe tic and triumphant manner in which he has conducted this case from the first We shall now get at the real state of matters. Startling, we doubt not, will be the disclosures which the Committee will make--dark the doings which they will drag into the light of day. It was generally said that it was a part of the Post-office system of France to open letters. Mr. Duncombe quoted the assertion to the contrary, which Guizot made the other day in the Chamber of Deputies. Letters are sacred in France. No functionary there plays the part of a Post-office inquisitor. And is it come to this, that despotic doings take place in the Post-office of England which are unknown in the Post -office of France? Where is the Englishman that does not blush for his country that such things should be? The national indignation is aroused, and it must not, and will not, subside until means are devised to put an end for ever to such odious, unconstitutional, and dis graceful practices. A drerttser. • HIGH TIDES.—On Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, the low neighbourhoods on the banks of the Thames were completely inundated by the encroachment of the tide which was unusually high. The cellars and kitchens in Bank side, Tooley - -street, and Wapping, were completely filled, and furniture washed about in all directions. Some of the pub licans have experienced heavy losses by their cellars being inundated. SHOWER, OF SAND AND PEBBLES.—We have lately read of showers of eels, frogs, and small stones having taken place last week at Liverpool , and other places in Lancashire and Cheshire. If any person doubts the possibility of the occurrence of the phenomeno n , his scepticism may be re moved by reading the followi ng ' fact, the truth of which ca n be easily ascert?.ined:—During the thunderstorm that raged in the metropolis on Mond a y evening, and immediately after a loud clap of thunder, mingled with the heavy rain that fell, there came down a thick sheet of yellow sand and small white pebbles. How far it extended the writer cannot say, but it fell heavily in the yard and on the leaden roofs of the back premises of the houses situated on the north side of Cambridge-street, Hyde Park-square. - An immense quan tity of this sand and small stones descended with great vio lence on the leaden roof of the back kitchen and wash-house of No. 2, in the above street. The back premises of the houses, Nos. 1,3, and 4, received a lighter sprinkling of the sand shower. The writer's examination did not extend be yond those houses, and whether the shower took a more.ex tensive range onset he cannot vouch from personal inspection. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitc Optuton. " Who runs may read." FORMIGN. On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the British Ambassador, Lord Cowley, the Hanoverian Ambassador, the Prefect of the Seine, Mar shal Gerard, Admiral Willaumez, General Marquis de La place, and Barons de Mareuil et Aymt The Moniteur Parisien announces that the King and Queen of the Belgians are expected to arrive shortly at the Palace of Neuilly. The Presse says :—" All the Peers and Deputies who have co-operated in the formation of railway companies have, we are assured, given in their resignations." The Patric doubts the truth of this statement, the Chamber of Peers not hav ing yet sanctioned the amendment of M. Crernieux against Deputies being connected with railroad companies. AToulon letter, of the26th ult., says—" The Rubis,which is to form part of the expedition under the Prince de Joinville, takes out a large quantity of Congreve rockets. The Marengo and the Neptune are taking in provisions, and will imme diately proceed to join the expedition. The Belle Poule, which has taken on board a large quantity of bags of earth, has sailed, as has also the Gassendi. ' A letter from Barcelona, of the 24th ult., states that Mr. Bulwer, the English Ambassador, who has been for some time in a weak state of health, has; left Barcelona, for the baths of Caldas. The day before his departure, he sent his secretary to London, with dispatches. The same letter in forms us that the two Queens are expected to remain for some months in Barcelona. The Opinion of Auch states that all the preliminary pro ceedings in the affair of Mme. Lacoste, accused of poisoning her husband, have been completed, and that notice has been served at the former residence of Mme. Lacoste, that she must constitute herself prisoner within the space of ten days after the date of the notification. The trial is fixed for July 10; and the chemists of Paris, MM. Flandin, Pelouze, and Du vergie, are summoned to attend on that day, as well as their medical brethren of Auch. On Tuesday last many of the communes of SaOne-et- Loire had nearly all the growing crops destroyed by the effects of a violent storm. In a few minutes the ground was covered with thick layers of hailstones of enormous size. Many roofs of buildings were greatly damaged, and the destruction of glass was so extensive that it will require many days to replace it. The state of the crops in France is generlly satisfactory. Wheats are fine, although they have suffered in some places. It is said that the grain will be excellent, but the quantity of straw will be but small. A slight tendency to a fall in prices has already been perceptible in some markets. LAW AND POLICE. In the Court of Queen's Bench the case of the Queen v. Lord Ashburton and others, after two days' hearing, was brought to a close, when the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. At Queen's-square John Bransgrove, captain of the Eclipse, Richmond steamer, appeared on a summons, charging him with assaulting, on board that vessel, Mr. Thomas Houghton, residing in Blizzard's-place, Fulham-road. The assault arose out of a dispute about tie amount of fare during the Thames regatta on Thursday week. Mr. Bond said the outrage was one which called for a marked punishment. He should in flict a fine of 51., in default of which committal for two months. The fine was paid. At the Mansion-house a woman of respectable appearance, of the name of Catherine Hall, dressed in deep mourning, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to drown herself in the Thames, near London bridge. She was remanded. The Thames Police-office was crowded with persons who attended to prefer complaints against an elderly and well dressed Jew, named Moses Martin, of Petticoat-lane, who surrendered, before Mr. Broderip, to answer a charge of cheating numerous small shopkeepers. Several cases were adduced and evidence given. Mr. Broderip said it was quite clear the prisoner had been going on defrauding the public for a long time, and advised all the parties to go and indict him at the sessions now holding. Two Jews became bail for Martin, and he was dismissed. C OVILT -1 0 .115111077.A.E I.E.

VILISCEMX.II.I47COU'S. A meeting of the Wellington Committee was held on Tuesday, at which Sir Peter Laurie protested that his sole reason for intruding himself into the Mansion-house, on the day of fixing the statue, was his anxiety for the honour of the presence of the King of Saxony, that the event might be re corded in the annals of the Corporation. In consequence of the Duchess of I3uccleuch's fete at Montagu House this day, the proposed meeting of the ladies patronesses of the Waverley fancy dress ball has been deferred until Friday, when the final arrangements arc to be determined on. On the 2d instant a new steam-frigate, called the Retn bution, was launched at Chatham. Her engines are to be of 800 horse-power.

ESCAPE OF A SOLDIER FROM THE STRONG-ROOM IN THE TOWER.—On Sunday night last, Thomas Hodges, a private in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, made his escape from the strong-room attached to the barracks in the Tower. He was under sentence of sixty days' confinement, for disobe dience of orders, and is believed to have been in possession of a quantity of valuable jewellery which had been stolen from a gentleman named Studly, at North Brixton, by his servant, who was transported for thd offence at the last Old Bailey Sessions. The girl was taken into custody in the Tower, while on a visit to Hodges, who was seen several times, by his comrades, with jewellery and/a number of so vereigns, after that occurrence. He was taken into custody and examined at Union-hall, but discharged for want of evi• dence. Since then he had been tried by a Court-martial, and sentenced to sixty days' confinement. He contrived to get a suit of private clothes on Saturday, and was seen in possession of a diamond ring and about twenty sovereigns. He is supposed to have gone to Hereford, and a handsome reward is offered for his apprehension. He is about six feet high, well made, light complexion, and sandy hair and whis kers, aged twenty-six. BRASSFOUNDERS ' COPPERSMITHS, AND BRAZIERS' hysTrrunox.—Tuesday this Company held their sixth an niversary dinner at the White Conduit House Tavern, when the Treasurer, William Devey, Esq., presided. This In tution was established for the purpose of providing support for the decayed members of these respective trades, and we have the pleasure to say that few have been the occasions upon which the objects of the supporters of charitable insti tutions of which we have been cognisant, have been more successful, taking into consideration their limited means. The Chairman was ushered to his seat amidst the cheers of the company, which consisted of about 300 persons. He was supported on his entrance by two knights in splendid brass armour, the construction of which was very creditable to the manufacturers of it. After the usual loyal toasts, &c., the worthy Chairman, who appears to have the goodwill of all connected with him in business, expressed himself de lighted with the spirit displayed by the working classes ge nerally, but especially by those with whom he was more im mediately connected, in looking forward to and providing for a time when it is impossible for any one so to exert himself as to provide the necessaries for the daily maintenance of himself and those dependent on him. He was glad to see a spirit of independence growing and spreading throughout the country amongst mechanical men, which would be sure to establish goodwill and prosperity for them all. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM THE BITE OF A CAT.—A woman at Aberystwith, who was bitten on the hand by a cat, as she attempted to remove its kittens, died from the effects of the bite the other day. The hand and arm Swelled, and mortification supervened, ;FUNERAL OF MR. T. CAMI•BELL, IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY. Moe funeral of this distinguished poet and excellent m in took place yesterday in Westminster Abbey. An imt cense number of his friends and admirers—and no mat 1 ever had more—attended on the occasion ; indeed the Jerusalem Chamber was crowded to suffocation with people anxious to pay the last tribute of their respect to the memory of the author of the " Pleasures )1' Hope." Mr. Campbell's grave was dug in the centr e wf Poets' Corner, and among th e assem bl e d mourners vre recognised Lords Brougham, Campbell, and Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, and many other indi viduals of note in the political and literary world. The funeral service was read by Mr. Millman, him self a poet, and with an impressive feeling and solemnity that touched the hearts of all who heard bin 1. While looking round on the busts and monuments of departed men of genius which Oict - ly stud "Poets' Corner," we could not help ht:Cie - Wing and wondering at the bigotry—for we fear it oan be called by no gentler term—that led to the exclusion of Lord Byron's statue from among these nat:Pnal memorials. Here it should have stood, for 'among our national poets no man occu pies a more distinguished rank than the author of " Childe Harold." It was a poor—a petty excuse .for depriving him of the posthumous honour which w as his due, for the Dein and Chapter of West minster to allege that he had written " Cain." The question was not one of orthodoxy but of genius, and should have been regarded as such. The man whsse works are published in full, without any erasures, precisely as originally written, by the High-Church and-State bibliopolist, Mr. Murray, could not have been so immoral and heretical an author as to justify our ecclesiastical authorities in closing the doors of Westminster Abbey on his ashes. The following is the simple inscription on the coffin of Mr. Campbell :—" Thomas Campbell, LL.D., Author of ' The Pleasures of Hope.' Died 15th June, 1844." COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday morning in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness Prince Albert afterwards rode out on horseback, attended by Colonel Bouverie, Equerry in Waiting.

Sin,—You have lent the authority of your columns to a paragraph, copied from a paper of limited circula tion, stating that " the Carlton Club intends Speedily to dissolve, for the purpose of reconstructing itself, to the exclusion of the member (supposed to be Mr. D'lsraeli) who reported a private meeting for the Times last week." I beg to inform you that the Carlton Club has no in tention to dissolve, and I believe I may add, that no member of that Club with whom Mr. D'lsraeli has the honour to be acquainted ever " supposed" for a moment that the report of the proceedings to which you refer emanated, directly or indirectly, from him. , Whether that meagre and inaccurate account were furnishel you by an individual present at the meeting, or whether details which the same day were generally and unreservedly discussed in various societies. reac h e d you eventually, as usually is the case, through th e me dium of many recipients, are questions on which I need not now dwell. I must, however, protest against the dis tinction which the paragraph you ("Dote attempts to establish between club meetings and meetings held at clubs. The question is, was the meeting a private one ? It was. The report of its proceedings by any person present was an act of gross impropriety—about as flag rant as the impertinence which, without a shadow of foundation, presumes to impute its perpetration to Your faithful servant, B. D'ISRAELI. Grosvenor-gate, Park-lane, July 2. Yonx. MINSTER.—This beautiful ecclesiastical edifice has been closed for some time, and has undergone a complete restoration. It will be re• opened for Divine service next Sunday. FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. —On Sunday evening last, shortly before six o'clock, as the Thunder, Rich mond steam-beat was making for Lambeth Pier, opposite the Archbishop of Canterbury's Palace, it occasioned a serious accident. From the statement of persons on board the steamer, as well as of those who witnessed the occur rence from the shore, it appears that at the moment the steamer altered her course for the pier, a small boat, con taining a waterman, named Tucker, belonging to Lambeth Stairs, and another person, was observed proceeding in.the contrary direction. The tide was then running very fast, and the people in the steamer called to those in the small boat to pull on the near side ; instead of rowing with the right-hand oars they pulled with the left hand, which caused the head of the small boat to run under the bows of the steamer. The captain, having previously given orders to ease the vessel, had the same instantly stopped. Tucker, instead of keeping his place, with his companion, got up, which caused the boat to overturn, and they were both pre cipitated into the water. They were quickly out of sight, but Tucker, after a few seconds, came to the surface of the water, and was picked up by a waterman who put off on seeing the accident. He was then alive, and without loss of time was removed to his house, where ,he had medical at tendance, but owing to the serious injuries he had received by being struck by some object, in all probability the paddles of the Thunder, he lingered until Monday forenoon, when he expired. Although a diligent search was made for the oth er unfortunate person, up to last evening (Tuesday) the body had not been discovered, and it is supposed that he was drawn underneath the steamer and then forced back with the tide. Information of the occurrence has been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the Coroner, who will hold an inquest on the body to morrow (Thursday) forenoon. We are authorised to contradict a rumour which has gained very general circulation in the fashionable world, that after several Special Committees of the Reform Club re cently held, the result had been, the far-famed chef de cuisine, M. Sower, had suddenly quitted that establishment. This gentleman continues at the Club with the confidence of the members more increased, if possible, than diminished. We are led to believe that an elaborate work upon his peculiar art is now in the press. Mr. Bond has succeeded Mr. Walter Scott as Secretary of the Reform Club. Fitomes OF A TAR AT DEVONPORT.-011 Wed nesday evening a tipsy sailor, lately paid off from the Indus, was observed pursuing a zigzag course towards Mutton Cove, in which he several times lost his equili brium and embraced mother earth. He, however, scram 13:ed as far as the quay, when, to the horror of some and ' a musement of others, over he went, clothes and all on, and struck out across Cremil ferry. After he had swam three parts over (nearly half a mile), he came back and made his way up into the town ; but shortly returned, and stripped to his trousers, and took another voyage towards the opposite shore. Qn landing again he be came quarrelsome, and got into a fight, when he was seized and taken to his lodgings. A crowd which had assembled were highly delighted at Jack's novel moffe of enjoying himself. GKAN D WEEKLY ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE MEETING 4.T COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The usual weekly meeting of the Anti-Corn law League was held yesterday evening at Covent-garden Theatre. The meeting was very numerous, and the greatest order seemed to prevail. Amongst these present we noticed the following : George 'Wilson, Esq., in the Chair; Hon. Charles Pelham Villiers, Esq., M.P., Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., John Bright, Esq., M.P., Benjamin Smith, Esq. , M.P. Major-General Robertson, Pro fessor Key, Colonel Tucker, Dr. Tucker, Messrs.W. Bower, J. W. Griffin (Paisley), J. Howorth (Roch dale), J. Angas, Jacob Angas Summers Harford, H. Stainforth (Hull), B. Metcalf (Liverpool), Thos. Lattimore (Wheathampstead), Robert Hobbs, Chas. Mackay, Joseph Ivirnoy, W. Geesin, -- Edwards, li. Moore, Crawford Burkitt, Benjamin Thorne, S. Lucas, W. A. Wilkinson, P. A. Taylor, J. Gadsby, J. P. Burnard, Francis Stokes, Jarvis, Thomas Clark, jun. (Birmingham), Press Granger, W. J• Blake, -- Blow, Samuel Grafiley, A. Baner (Man chester), Richards Ware Cole, S. A. Smith, - Crabbie (Leith), George Blanshard, H. L. Keeling, J. T. Campart, G. F:Minton, Wilson, J. Chal mers, Charles W. Cobby, Patrick M‘Gregor, George Beacon, J. Ridge. George Wilson, Esq., took the chair at half-past seven o'clock. The minutes of the last meeting having been con firmed, The CHAIRMAN came forward and was received with loud cheers. He said he apprehended there were few there who were not aware that the mono polists in the House of Commons, true to themselves and their own interests, had again succeeded in es tablishing their peculiar claims to the gratitude and admiration of their fellow-countrymen.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) On Wednesday last they had, by a majority of 202, decided upon the maintenance and continuance of the corn-laws. He knew not whether any one present had expected a different resu lt, but he confessed, looking to the party who composed a majority of the House, and knowing that they were the men who a few years ago sat by whilst mono poly was doing its work, he had no expectation that they would be found now giving their support to those just principles which they sought to see estab lished. However, he rejoiced to see that they were not so strong as. they formerly were, and that there was a strong tide setting in in another direction.—(Hear, hear.) Last year the monopolists voted 381, this year they voted 330, having lost 51.—(Hear,. hear.) But it !eight be asked " Where is the proof of your progress in the House—this year you voted 126 and last year you voted the same number ?" Here was the proof it. In 1842, when Mr. Villiers put the total and unconditional repeal prin ciples in issue in the House of Commons, but 92 voted m ith him on that occasion, and 395 voted against him, the majority forming considerably more than one-half the whole House. On the present occasion, his minority was increased 34, and the majority against him was reduced 65, leaving thew shorn of the majority they had in 1842 by 100.-- (Hear, hear.) But, though the Members who voted with Mr. Villiers on this occasion were the same in amount with the number who voted with him last year, they had 28 new votes in favour of the motion. —(Hear, hear.) Besides 32 of those who supported him in 1842 were absent, but their opinions were still the same they were at that time.—(Hear.) Thus the strength of his party was near 170.—(Hear, hear.) And it ought to be understood that this was the same House of Commons which was elected especially and specifically to maintain the corn-laws.—(Hear, hear.) There WAS no general election; and they had n° means of operating on the House except by reason and argument, yet within two years they found those. who supported the motion had increased considerably , and the majority of their opponents had been reduced upwards of sixty-five.—(Hear, hear.) He would ask any one to point out another question which had made such progress, which was not a party question , and not supported by the great leaders in the House. —(Hear, hear.) Whatever the House of Commons might have been in 1841, every one knew it was net considerably behind public opinion.—(Hear, bear.) How did he prove that ? Why, by asking them to turn their eyes to their own city. One of the Mem' bers for the City of London voted for the motion , two voted against it, and the fourth ran away. (Cheers and hisses.) Yet, was there any one there bold enough to affirm that any of those, except Mr' Pattison, had conveyed the opinion of the City Of London ?—(Hear, hear, and vehement cheers.) Pi; more than this, a majority of 'the constituencies 0 ` eleven Members who voted against the motion re' quested their representatives to support it.—(Hear' hear.) Adding those eleven to the 170 who supporte d him it would be found that his friends bad more than doubled in the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) Their majority was, however, still strong, but it wa s a diminishing one.—(Hear, hear.) An attendance,. of twelve months at the registry would be sufficient to strip it away—(Hear, hear)—and there wa s enough of energy and spirit on the part of the people of this country to secure a victory when another elec' tion occurred.—(Cheers.) Mr. VILLIERS th9n came forward, and was receive d with loud cheers. He said that the Chairman bad in; formed them of what, no doubt, they were aware e; before, that since the last meeting which took plac e in that house for the purpose of considering the corn' laws, he had been at that House where those lea' s were made, for the purpose of making his all: nual inquiry from its authors upon what ground s either of justice, wisdom, or humanity thei o could defend the e x i s t e n c e of them, and t ask them whether they had any fresh eq e ,., rience, circumstances, or reason of any kind velnn t they could allege as a set-off against the mass misery, and mischief which annually sprang frnf, those laws.—(Hear, hear.) He came before th e at the request of the Chairman, and, notwitbstanc i p ing the contemptuous reference which had made to those meetings by Sir R. Peel—(Groans) out of respect to those who assembled there, to shn; their sympathy with the sufferi ngs o f the peoples order to convey to them his impression of tu d result of the recent di scuss i on an d di v i s ion the question of the corn-laws—(Loud c heers). and he would say a t once th a t he never had le s t reason to be discouraged on the subject in his life that result—(Hear, hear)—for it had exceeded ,1 most sanguine expectations. The motion was brout o forward under very adverse circumstances, and I I was not prepared for that impression being made. e ch the constituencies, and thereby on the members, win o , had produced so arge a minority in behalf of them t.° tion he proposed. But it might be collected from organs of the monopolists in Parliament and in t . press, that they consider e d the r e s u lt of that discussl oo e , as most satisfactory to them and disastrous to the Lesgu se But about that, he had something to say. Tb ° who represented the friends of scarcity in the iln uo of Commons—(Cheers)—expressed their satisfaet loo , at the speech of the President of the Board of Tra e ,j They hailed that speech w ith joy and surprise, en v the peculiar value of it, was as they expressed it , , e its honesty.—(Laughter.) Th a t seeme d to ns l: it taken them by surprise; but the hon es ty o f it, as they could collect was, that as far as he had pnv l . e g and as long as he lived, he would stick by the :Ilan / he scale. Now, it was curious to find that any of t ot party should have faith in any of the pr P ee l Ministry ; because, when Sir Robert re solemnly promises that he will no t ab an don th e j some sarcastic friend g e ts up an d says th a t henna another corn-law in his pocket.—(Laughter.) vg on what grounds they had more faith in the r, statesman Mr. Gl a d s t one , h e was a t a l oss t o kn° o uvi ( for as far as he (Mr. Villiers) knew he was nov r ,) that stuff of whi c h mar t yrs were made..—(Laught e d Great consolatio n was d er i ve d f rom t h e di v i s i o n, 9 0 the organ of th e monop bps friends in the House of P eer in the person o f his Grace of Richmond, told r friends the t enan t s at w il l that they might now re ° o co f their engagements, and expect the Act bgd Parliament price, because the majority 0 , greatly incre ase d aga i nst the repea l of t h e corn-la ,1' and probably some persons wou ld b e found fb,,c'ct? enough to follow hi s a d v i ce .
