The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. On the motion that the report on the Smoke Prohibi tion Bill be brought up, several Hon. Members expressed their disapprobation of the measure, and at length, at the suggestion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Bill was withdrawn by Mr. MACKINNON, the Hon. Member baying previously obtained from Sir J. GRAHAM AR assurance that the subject should undergo scientific inquiry. The Small Debts Bill passed through Committee. Mr. SPOoNER moved the third reading of the Dud deston and Nechells Improvement Bill. The motion, which was opposed by Mr. Irtmrrz, was carried on a division, th e num b ers being—for the Bill, 78; agaiLst it. 52. Mr. B. DENTsoN moved that the - London and York Railway Bill should he divided into two Bills. Mr. Mrt.l.3 secoAcd the motion. Mr. WARD considered it unfair that the motion .hnuld b e made without notice, and on the suggestion of Mr. M) THERTON it was postponed until to-morrow (this day)- (r. F. FEENCTI rose and, in allusion to what. had ta k,,, v place in rf , !iTence to a •sp,4?eh ~f his deliVered in that 1-.I.OLISM uu _,„, 0) ,-. the accuracy of the report of which, in the Tires, had been impugned, declared that .\l:v, Si ItWiliftred every word that lh.d appearA in that .r r :---- ~.,..„.....r.: :;, N ,-.

Sir R. PEEL then laid on the table certain correspond ence respecting the slave trade, which, he said, on a former occasion, he did not think it his duty to produce. The adjourned debate on New Zealand was then re. sumed by Captain Rous, who said he would not enter into the merits or demerits of the New Zealand Com pany, but he would deprive them of their charter, and give them a fair remuneration for what they had done. The House was afterwards address©d by Mr. WARD, Mr. G. PALMER, Sir C. NAPIER, Mr. HAWES, Sir R. PEEL, and Lord J. RUSSELL, but ultimately the motion was negatived by a majority of 66, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock. In reference to our observations yesterday on, the Danish claims, it will be seen that Mr. HAWES has, as we anticipated, postponed his motion till early in the next session. The unjust opposition which these claims have met with, and the various subterfuges by which they have been evaded, both by the Whig and Tory Go vernments, naturally leads, to the inquiry—what are the motives for, and who are the men who support this denial of justice? We believe most persons will admit that had this been the claim of some influential or courtly party, the compensation would have long since been granted, but, as the claimants are merely plain ship owners and honest traders, every device which art and power could suggest have been re sorted to in order to deprive the claimants of that re dress to which they are so justly entitled. One of their greatest enemies, who has been pitchforked into the House of Lords, has feathered his own nest more than any man who has been in office for the last fifty years, and through whose negligence the country had to pay a large sum. Another opponent, who now holds a similar office to that held by the former, is a person whose only merit seems to be that of having himself, and his rela tives, received, during some years, more of the public money than would remunerate the losses of all the claimants ! What makes the case more grievous is, that what the claimants seek as being due to them is not the public money, but a restitution of part of the pro ceeds of the sale of the Danish property, for the seizure of which the ships and cargoes of the claimants had been taken in reprisal. A large portion of these pro ceeds had been lodged in the British Treasury, for the purpose of indemnifying these parties, at the fountain of which Treasury many jobbers and drones have since been sucking honey, whilst many of the poor claimants have been pining in misery. To illustrate a little more the injuries to which these par ties have been subjected, we may mention that an Honourable Member had the candour to say, the other day, that though he considered the case of the claimants to be a very just one, he was, nevertheless, obliged to vote as the Minister dictated ! The late Mr. MATHEWS used to relate an anecdote of an American, who, on finding that he could not in England inflict personal chastise ment on his black man, exclaimed, "Call this a free country ?—can't flog your own nigger !" Had the said American known anything of the House of Com mons, he would have found that there the Premier can flog his niggers as he pleases, yet this is what is called the boasted representation of the people ! There are, however, some noble exceptions, who have acted man fully towards the claimants, and of whose unflinching honour they have cause to be justly proud. We can only hope that the eyes of the Premier will be opened, before the next session, to tlk. cruel treat ment which these claimants have endured, and accord to them, though late, that justice for which they have so long been struggling. In any case, let the claimants persevere, and they must ultimately succeed ! The debate of Monday night in the House of Lords on the petition presented by the Duke of RICHMOND from veteran Officers who bad served in the Peninsular campaigns, praying their Lordships to interpose in their behalf, by supporting an address to the Sovereign, praying that the petitioners might receive from her MAJESTY some honorary distinction for the services rendered by them in the Peninsular campaigns, is well worthy of notice. The Noble Duke certainly discharged the duty entrusted to him by these gallant petitioners with much modesty and pro priety—observing, happily and truly, that it was un ❑ecessary for him to enter into any details of those ser vices, because their Lordships had on repeated occasions voted their thanks to the petitioners on account of them. It was equally unnecessary for him, he said, to dwell on the vast importance of the results of the Peninsular cam paigns—so glorious to the British arms—in the general pacification of Europe. All that the petitioners asked for was but a strict act of justice ; and without im puting blame to any one, his Grace added, without for one moment calling .in question the propriety of those general and remark able distributions of medali and distinctions which had been made by the Sovereign on account of the battle of Waterloo, and of the services of the army in the countries beyond the north-western frontiers of India, and in China, he did think that the brilliant ser vices rendered by the petitioners throughout the pro tracted campaigns in Spain ought to be placed on the same footing in respect of such testimonials or distinc tions. We cannot see how any stronger or more reasonable case could have been laid for the tardy performance of what the gallant Duke justly termed a " strict act of justice." In the whole range of modern European his tory, there can be found no parallel to the sustained gal- lantry, endurance, and success which distinguished the British army in the six or seven Peninsular campaigns, commenced in Portugal and concluded in France—a career of triumphs almost without a cheek—a manifes tation of improved organisation in the field, of developed and augmented resources at home, of general discipline, moderation and good order in quarters, and in action, that we believe to be without example. If medals and distinctions have been granted to officers and men engaged in single 'Actions, however memorable in themselves or momentous in their consequences, it is to be inferred that those who have been actively engaged in the leading operations of several consecutive campaigns, distinguished 17 their multiplied engagements and sieges, have, to say the least, a commensurate claim on the consideration of the Croat). Why the testimonials of that consideration should have been so long withheld, we protest that we are still un able to understand, notwithstanding the speech in which he Duke of WELLINGTON replied to that of the Duke of The Noble and Gallant Duke objected that t was not "regular," nor "according to the practice cf . heir Lordships," to interfere in a question of this de scription. But how can it be said that, in the nature of thinge, applications of this kind can be so frequent as to have admitted the establishment of any rule of practice in dealing with them ? And even, if they had been more frequent, how can it be denied that every such case ought to be determined upon its own merits ? What ,ICHMOND. form of proceeding could be applied, -a priori, to a state of things, such as that which arose out of the prodigious variety and extent of the exertions of our armies in the Peninsula in defeating the mighty combi nations of NAPOLEON, conducted by the ablest of his Generals and the flower of the French armies. Those campaigns formed, or perfected, the military reputation Of the most distinguished Generals who, within the last five-and-thirty years, have exalted the renown of our arms under the personal auspices of WELLINGTON him self. We are left under no difficulty about the prin ciples on which the Noble Field-Marshal declined, so far as his voice or vote could be concerned, to comply with the prayer of the petitionetls. He said that, in tB4O, the same gentlemen whose names were appended to the document in the hands of the Duke of RICHMOND had made an application to him to lay their case before the throne ; but that' he (the Duke of WELLINGTON) had stated to them that these were subjects which it remained with the Sovereign -and his ad visers, and with them alone, to deal with ; that he had never, either in his military or his official capacity, assumed the office of interposing in the manner now prayed, although, when he had been honoured with the commands, on repeated occasions, of the Sovereign of this country, and of foreign Sovereigns, to recommend to them officers for honorary distinction, he had always promptly done so, in terms (he trusted) not unsatisfactory to those officers themselves. And he had, accordingly, recommended to those gentlemen to make their application to the Sovereign through the proper authority. He had since instituted careful in - quiry, but had been wholly unable to trace either the fact of such application having been made, or any offi cial record thereof ; but he believed that a petition, in all respects similar to this, was some time ago pre• sented to the House of Commons. These objections of form, and even the principle of them, we can fully enter into on the part of the Noble Duke, whose long connexion with civil office, and whose experience of courts, have doubtless qualified him to speak with as muck authority on these as on purely mflitary matters. But we can neither bring ourselves to take the same view of the 4liff,reuce which the Gallant. Duke insisted on as taking the case of these Peninsular officers out of the same category with the case of those who achieved -the battle of Waterloo, the triumphant f c u l o l s d e e of m o t n h s e t r o a p t i e o n ratio of r s our in forcesA o f ffg so oft in n i s ac t p a na n ri , na a ag n d gnt north r e p s e u r c e c e e s v s e the good taste and delic ac y compari son in the mouth of the illustrious Marshal who made it. After remarking on the numerous honours already awarded to officers who had served in some of the prin cipal affairs of the Peninsular campaigns, he denied that the services of the petitioners in these campaigns gave them a claim to any general distinctions or honours such as had been granted in honour of the battle of Waterloo. and of the campaigns beyond the north-western frontier of India, and on the shores of China. These latter were in the nature of signal and decisive victories, which had re-established the peace of empires, and illustrated the reputation of our arms and our prowess at moments of singular exigency. This had been eminently the case with the battle of Waterloo, and in consideration of that fact, the Crown had granted medals, not only to the General commanding and other officers, but to every individual in our army who had been present in that great conflict. For reasons, in the force of which he, the Duke, entirely con curred, a Noble Earl (Lord ELLENBOROUGH) had re commended a similar course to be adopted with regard to those armies, composed of our European and our Sepoy troops, who had retrieved by their distinguished gallantry in the last actions fought in the Punjaub, the disasters of Caubul—" the most signal reverses which had happened to our arms during the last sixty years." Dismissing these Asiatic triumphs, as less germane to the matter in hand, we must contend that his Grace took a somewhat invidious, and, moreover, a somewhat inte rested view of the superior claims of Waterloo. He com manded on that memorable occasion ; and without in tending, for one instant, to diminish by an iota his claims upon the gratitude of the living generation, and the admiration of posterity, for the - consummate valour and abilities displayed by him in that decisive fight, we are to remember that it was the culminating point of his fortunes, as well as of his renown : the immediate fountain of those honours, whose sources have ever since so lavishly poured out upon him their unstinted bounty. Who brought him to its margin ? Of those who commanded under him, the intrepid British soldiery, who plucked the bloody laurels of Waterloo, but few among the best and the bravest ; the most tried, and the most generous of his companions in arms, were present. The honourable wounds and scars that the majority of these bore in compulsory retirement, or on other duty, were still the living attestations of their heroic achievements at Vimeira, at Albufera, at Ta lavera, Salamanca, Badajoz, Vittoria, Orthez, Toulouse, and a score or two of other immortal fields. Their honours—such as they were,—their military rank, whatever the course of their promotion—had been earned, not as after a campaign of a few weeks deter mined in a single pitched battle, but in the course (for the most part) of long, bard, and hazardous services ; under manifold privations ; against enormous odds, in the midst of general engagements, or the devastating slaughter of storms and sieges. Their arms, their en thusiastic attachment to him, their fidelity to his re nown, and their country's confidence, bore him to the crowning triumphs of 1814. A treacherous peace of a few brief months returned some to the bosoms of their families, others to the peaceful occupations of half-pay retirement. A single but terrible battle, crowned by a sanguinary victory, was fought by us in the follow ing year ; and since then war has not subsisted between her MAJESTY and any of the European Powers. Now, because these veterans of the Peninsular cam paigns of five or six years were not present at the single battle of Waterloo, they have in all this interval of thirty years not been deemed worthy of any general honorary distinctions to record and reward their noble services. Can anything be more unfair or unreasonable than such a forgetfulness of the deserts of veteran merit ? Yes. The distribution of the Waterloo medal itself. The Duke of RICHMOND assured their Lordships that it was a well-known fact that one regiment had received the Waterloo medal which did not even know of the battle until some time after the victory had been achieved. We hope and believe that her MAJESTY will be advised to grant the very reasonable prayer of these petitioners, which the voice of the whole empire will cheerfully recommend to her MAJESTY'S gracious con sideration, notwithstanding the Marquis of LONDON• DERRY'S ridiculous, but characteristic protest against officers of the army addressing themselves on an occa sion of this kind, whatever the circumstances that may have preceded it, to either House of Parliament. It is happy for the army that Parliament exists for them, as well as every other class of the QUEEN'S subjects, to make all constitutional appeals to. Madrid papers to the lith have arrived. The decree against the press is the leading theme in all the journals. The Eco del Comercio addresses a note to its correspondents, engaging them to use the utmost circumspection in their communications if they would spare the journal the denunci ations of the agents in power. The press, says the Tiempo, is now as completely under martial law as any town in Cata lonia; nevertheless, it promises to submit to the decree. Several of the editors had Just met, but as those of the Heraldo, Globo, Tiempo, and Postata had abstained from at tending the meeting, no resolution had been come to, and the Opposition prints declare that they will await the opinion the Moderado journals may express, before they decide on the course they shall pursue under the critical circumstances in which the decree against the press has placed them. A meeting of the Progressista leaders, which was to have taken place at the house of the editor of the Clamor Public°, for the purpose of deciding the course the party should adopt on the question of the QUEEN'S marriage, had been prevented by the authorities. El Herald°, the organ of the Government, has the follow ing paragraph, dated Barcelona, July 12 :—" We can assure you that the Court will leave by sea, on the 17th, for Valen cia. We know not what will be afterwards decided upon as to her MAJESTY'S movements." The Femento of Barcelona says, " That reports are in cir culation that the QUEEN will repair from Valencia to Sara gossa, and so to the Basque Provinces ; and it was considered that the constant movements of troops in those provinces favoured such a supposition." A dispatch, received at Barcelona on the 14th, from the General commanding at Igualada, announces the complete dispersion of the insurgents near Tora, after an hour's fight ing. A second gathering, near Cervera, has been equally dispersed, and the submission was general. The Femento, however, of the 15th, mentions that the Cap tain-General has marched from Barcelona, at three in the morning, with half of the 'cavalry of his escort. The reception at the Palace of Don FRANCIACO DE PAULA, in honour of the pie day of his son Don HENRY, was ex tremely brilliant : " The company (says a letter) was most numerous. All the members of the corps diplomatique remaining in this capital were present. The fête of the Prince, whom several journals of re spectability consider as the pretender to the Queen's hand, who has the best chance of obtaining it, could not fail to be celebrated with eclat. The Infante Don Francisco, his father, is now most recherche by the high society of this country." The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse, on the 17th inst., at 28 3-16 for cash, and 28 11-16 at 60 days. The Five per Cents., 20 13-16 for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Monday, on the morning of which day the Chambers were prorogued. The royal ordinance of prorogation was carried to the Chamber of Peers by Marshal SouLT, and to the Ch am b er o f D eput i es by M. DuasoN, the Minister of Public Works. M. Guizor was present in the Chamber of Deputies. The opinion that the Chambers would be dissolved early in the autumn seemed to be gaining ground in well-informed quarters. M. VILLEMAIN, whose health continues to be satisfactory, has just set out for a tour in Switzerland. The KING and the Royal Family leave Paris next week for the chateau d'Eu. The Journal des Debats gives the following account of the departure of Don C.4.ELOS from Bourges : " BOURGES, JULY 19.—0 n Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, the Infante Don Carlos and the Princess de Beira, his consort, left this town for the waters of Greoulx. On the day before the Princess had heard in the Archbishop's palace a mass celebrated by the Archbishop in person. lathe morning a large number of per sons belonging to the families habitually received at the Hotel Panette had assembled in the court-yard of the Archbishop's pa lace in order to take leave of their Royal Highnesses, who entered their carriage amidst the warmest demonstrations of regret. The Princess de Beira seemed deeply affected at this departure. In the first carrtage the Infante, the Princess, his wife, the Prince of Asturias, and the Marquis de Villafranca took their seats. MM. Guilhem, de Villavicanico, Cordona, and a lady of honour occupied thesecond carriage. The third was that of M. de Tinan, Aide-de- Camp to the Marshal Minister of War, whe is ordered to accom pany the Princes to Greoulx. An escort of twenty cavalry, headed by a trumpeter and commanded by a captain, followed the Princes to the limits of the department. On reaching the second relay, the Prince of Asturias took leave of his relations, who continued their journey to Lyons. The Prince re-entered Bourges at six in the afternoon. MM. de Montenegro, Alzan de Toledo, and Garcia Martin remain with the young Prince." The following account by an eye-witness of the horrible affair at Dahra, appears in the Journal de St. Etienne. It purports to be written by a non-commissioned officer of the 36th Regiment. The writer, relating the proceedings of the column under the orders of Colonel PELISSIER up to its arrival at the mouth of the cavern, where the Arabs had taken refuge, says: " Two hours after our departure from the camp we arrived in front of the grotto or cavern. A company of grenadiers was or dered to descend by the hollow way which leads to it, but seemly had they advanced a few steps when a discharge of musketry obliged them to fall back. The position was inexpugnable, and as the place could only be entered man by man, our whole corps would be destroyed in the attempt. Confident in their entrenchments, before which the Turks had always been foiled, the Arabs refused to surrender. Then the Colonel ordered the men to cut wood and make faggots, which with great pains they succeeded In letting down near the entrance of the three grottoes. These faggots, mixed with straw, were drawn away by the Arabs as fast as they were let down, n otwithstanding the firing that was kept up by men placed inZambush. At last a number of the enemy being killed, and :the entry being encumbered, the Arabs were obliged to• renounce their attempt. Fire was then flung down, and the immense mass of wood was set in flames. The whole of the 18th was employed in supplying this furnace. Then was heard inside a frightful tumult of cries, groans, and discharges of musket shots. It was afterwards ascertained that the Arabs were deliberating what course to determine on, but at the time it was not known the most violent had gained the advantage ; the ssi t ° lll they fire of the fascines was suspended, and negotiations were re sumed. At nine o'clock on the morning of the 18th an Arab cameback t o t hrough in flamesftohrem his u unfortunate t u o n t t r e e d countrymenhis aubmi m was tot follow the same example, The Arabs oared to ray setthbar THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1845. 75,000 f., but only en condition that the army withdrew; that we should not penetrate into the interior of their grottoes; and that they should keep their arms. These conditions hav ing been refused, they returned into their grottoes; they resumed their firing on us and on such of their own party as attempted to escape ; and on our side orders were given to continue throwing down wood. Three hours were given to the Arabs to refiect on their position. At length, on the 19th, after twelve o'clock, the wood was again set fire to and kept up all night. What pen can describe this picture? To behold in the midst of the night, by the light of the moon, a body of troops em ployed in keeping up an infernal fire, to hear the heavy groans of men, children, and animals, the cracking of the calcined rocks as they tumbled down, and the continual detonation of firearms During the night, too, there was a terrible struggle between the men and cattle. In the morning, when the entrance of the caverns was set clear, a horrible spectacle struck the eyes of the assailants I have visited the three grottoes, and this is what I saw. At the entrance lay oxen, asses, and sheep; their instinct had drawn them to the opening, to breath the air which was wanting inside ; amongst these animals, and heaped together under them, were women and children. I saw a man dead, the knee on the ground, and the hand on the horn of the oxen, and just before him was a woman holding a child in her arms. It was easy to see that this man had been stifled, as well as the woman, child, and ox, at the moment when the Arab was endeavouring to preserve his family from the fury of the animal. The grottoes are of immense size; yesterday 760 corpses were reckoned ; only 60 men came our, three-quarters dead; 40 could not survive, and died immediately; there are ten who have been sent to the hospital in a most dan gerous state ; and the ten others have been sent away to their tribes. To-day, the 23d, we are still in front of these grottoes, which it is impossible to look at without shuddering. Pestilential exhala. tions are breaking out. At ten o'clock we raise our camp. Scarcely had the news of this terribly catastrophe become known, when the whole Dahra submitted. From all quarters the Arabs are coming in, bringing their arms; our camp is encumbered with muskets, and in consequence the troops are to receive six days' provisions, in order to dispose of the mules to carry the arms. It is necessary to be, like us, on the theatre of events to recognise all the efforts which were made to prevent this catastrophe, and to comprehend the importance of reducing these folks, in the interest of the gene ral tranquillity. But the grottoes of the Ouled Riah will always have a sad renown," The Moniteur contains laws authorising the Minister of Public Works to make concessions of the following lines of railroad :—First, of the railroad from Paris to the frontier of Belgium, with embranchments from Lille to Calais and Dun kirk ; second, of the railroad from Creil to St. Quentin ; and, third, of the railroad from Fampoux to Hazebrouck. The duration of the lease of the former is not to exceed 41 years; and the maximum of that of the Creil and St. Quentin and Fampoux and Hazebrouck lines is fixed at 75 years. No Company is to be admitted to bid for the concession of those roads unless it shall have been previously approved by the Minister of Public Works, and deposited the required se curities.

The following are some interesting particulars of the tim ber trade at Liverpool:-" This month 36 vessels, 19,851 tons, have arrived, and, as compared with last year, a much larger supply of timber from Quebec. The market, in con sequence, has not opened as animatedly as had been hoped for, the consumers in the country holding back in the expec tation of timber being lower; and as the timber-merchants. in most instances, have imported several cargoes direct from Quebec, the regular importers have had a narrower field for the disposal of their carves, and have been obliged to give way. The entire arrivals since the Ist of the month have been from British North America 36 vessels, 19,851 tons, of which 27 vessels, 16,150 tons, are from Quebec; and from the Baltic five vessels, 1,867 tons, three being from Dantzic, one from St. Petersburgh, and one from Abo." There are no ship arrivals to-day with later intelligence from foreign parts. The Funds have been rather dull this morning, but although prices are not higher, Stock is comparativelyscarce. Consols have been 99 to 99 1 4 for Money, and 99 1 / 4 , buyers and sellers alternately, for Account. Exchequer-bills have rallied to 545. and 565. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have realised 102% %. Bank Stock is firm at 211 1 4. The Foreign market is very well supported-Spanish Ar chives have been 26 1 4 A, and the Three per Cents 37% %. Portuguese Old Bonds were at 87. Colombian have been firm at 17 3 / to 18; Mexican have been marked 37; Dutch Two-and-a alf per Cents. have been 62%, and Russian 118%. The Railway Share Market is fluctuating, and there is a good deal doing. London and York have caused much ex citement, owing to the favourable decision. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

The Queen and Prince Albert, attended by the ladies and gent!emen of the royal suite, after their excursion in the royal yacht, on Tuesday afternoon, returned to Osborne House, tale of Wight, soon alter seven o'clock in the evening. There was no addition to the royal circle at dinner. Yesterday morning her Majesty and her Royal Consort took a drive in an open pony carriage. The juvenile Royal Family were taken their accustomed rides and walks yesterday forenoon, in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge - and Prince George returned to town yesterday morning, from Paultons, near Romsey. M. Dedel, the Netherlands Minister, transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office. Mr. J. Strettell Brickwood, Public Works Loan Office, South Sea House, had an interview with the Chancellor of the. Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing- street The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meet ing yesterday afternoon at the office in Whitehall-place. There were present the Bishop of Rochester, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Besborough, and the Dean of West minster. Dispatches were sentoff yesterday evening from the Colonial. office for the Governor of the Mauritius. LITERATURE. ECONOMY; OR, A PEEP AT OUR NEIGH. BOURS. Our neighbours referred to here are the good people of Guernsey, a place, says the author, where yrou can live on 3001. a year, sumptu ous ly, an d on 200/ a year sparingly. This, it must be admitted, is a very imper fect des?,ription of what may be considered sufficient for domestic expenditure. In this country, which some people say is 'the dearest in the world, many thousands live not sparingly but very comfortably on 2001. a year, and many on a less income ; but the mystery is soon cleared up by a statement which all can understand, for in Guernsey, she adds, 3001. a year will go as far as 1,000/ in England. It appears, however, there are some little drawbacks. "No one keeps their (his) car riage—the thing is rare—a sort of show—a Mr. Sams driving into town, even to see such a thing, an airing in a fly, where you can view your bounds all round, is really quite sufficient for a drive." And then people loso their taste for wine when they become -naturalised— " the gusto disappears." This many would consider a cala mity, for which no cheapness could compensate, and but few Englishmen, we suspect, will risk the experiment. Here is another drawback :-- "At the drapers we find every thing dear. They get their goods from England, and the carriage of such goods is no doubt carried out in the price of them ;—and beside this, there is little taste, and less choice, to be found in any of these es• tablishments : they are, in short, inferior sort of shaps al together to those of the same class we meet with in England. The thing which you expect to find at every turn—a French shop—and a French person—it the greatest rarity to be seen in the island. At first we fell into the same mistake com mitted by most of the new-comers; and misled by the foreign look of the people behind the counters, we addressed them in French : and, frightful to say ! at the same time our re marks upon them in English." add, the place is noted for its excellence in fish, such as turbot, ,brill, and mullet, but they are not so reasonable as on the coast of Devon, and salmon; which sells at Teignmouth for sevenpence the pound, costs in Guernsey one shilling end threepence. Butcher -meat is not cheaper than in England. Where, then, is the eco nomy ? The following extract shows that the mode in which taxes are raised is not the most agreeable :--- 66 The Queen's revenue consists of the great tithes of all corn, grain, and flax, the growth of the island, and in some parts the ckampart is also levied—first the tenth sheaf for tithe and the eleventh for champart, when the fief belongs to the crown: charnpart implies that part reserved by the lords of the manor and fiefs, by way of chief rent, which is generally let out or farmed at certain rates by private individuals. The chief rents, and rents paid in corn and money, with the customs, anchcrage, tonnage on vessels, wrecks at sea, amercements of court, forfeitures in estates, goods, chattles, &c., constitute the chief revenues of the crown in Gurnsey." It is rumoured that Sir Robert Price, who formerly represented Herefordshire, will offer himself for Hereford on the Liberal interest. Lady Disbrowe and suite embarked yesterday morning, at Blackwall Pier, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet, Columbine, for Rotterdam. TORQUAY.—This fashionable watering-place has been well-filled during the past month, considering that the sum mer is not here, as at other places on this coast, its filling season. It is at length better understood, that the thermometer at Tor quay is not higher in the summer than at many other places in England. The invalids have been succeeded by many families from Exeter, Bath, Bristol, and London, who have come hither to enjoy the beautiful scenery with which this country abounds. The floral and horticultural exhibitions of the Torbay Society, held here, on the 11th instant, was well filled and fashionably attended. FUNERAL OF EARL GREY.—It is understood that the funeral of this lamented Peer will take place on Saturday next. LADY FOLLETT.—Lady Follett and her youthful family, in company with Lady Gifford, her Ladyship's mother, have left town for Ilfracombe. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, and the Ladies Gordon and Lennox, left Portland place on Tuesday for Goodwood Park, where a brilliant party of fashionahles will v.. semble on Tuesday next, when the annual races commence in I.ls Grace's park. The party is not expected to separate until the lb!. lowing Friday. INTERRUPTION TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.-- On last Monday evening, at a quarter before five o'clock, upon the arrival of his Grace the Duke of Wellington at the House of Lords, and immediately after he had dismounted, a tall and able man, of rather decent appearance, and about 43 years of age, rushed towards his Grace from among the crowd which usually collects about this hour at the entrance of the House to see the Duke, and was in the act of thrusting a letter upon his Grace, when he was instantly collared by two constables on duty, and drawn back. His Grace appeared for a moment slightly flushed, but paid no attention to the circumstance; and seeming uncon scious of anything unusual having occurred, gave his orders to his groom and walked into the House. The man was conveyed im. mediately into the House in the custody of the constables. —Col -• respondent of a Morning 'Paper. PRICE OF GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris is per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 56 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.04 percent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 438 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 11i ; and the exchange at Hamburgh. on London at short being 13 121, it follows that gold le 0.45 per cent. dearer in London tnan in Hamburgh, 1 3 4 :~~ b"g HAYMARKET THEATRE. The performances here last evening were for the benefit of Miss .Julia Bennet t, and, as might have been anticipated, the house was a bumper. The performances began with Goldsmith's " right merrie" comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, with Miss Julia Bennett as Miss Hardcastle. She acted the character with great naiveté: She was sprightly and vivacious as heart could wish, but her sprightliness and vivacity never once degene rated into vulgarity. Ilt:r Miss Ilardcaitle is a spirited, and, at the same time, most lady-like performance. Farrell and Mrs. Glover were the Mr. and Mrs. Hardcastle, and Buckstone wan the Tony Lumpkin —all three were admirable. Indeed, the comedy was well acted throughout. We cannot, how ever, close this notice, without alluding to the very artist-like manner in which Mrs. L. S. Buckingham acted the part of Miss Neville. She made the character a most interesting one. After tho comedy, Leopold de Meyer. performed a fantasia on the pianoforte, as he alone cao perform it, and was, of course, honoured with an encore. The farces of A Dead "Shat and Young England concluded the evening's entertainments. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY.

MATCH BETWEEN THE ETONIAN EIGHT AND OXFORD /MOMS CREWS.—This match, which has always been looked forward to with considerable interest, in consequence of the Etonian crew being the eight selected to compete with West minster School in the course of the ensuing month, came off on the evening of Saturday last ; the portion of the Thames selected for this display of aquatic skill being from Datchett bridge to Old Windsor Lock, a distance of about two miles. A great number of persons were present to witness the match. The Etonian eight were—Winter, stroke ;Richards, 7 ; Ad lington, 6 ; 11. Luttrell, 5 ; Talfourd, 4 ; G. Luttrell, 3 ; Tre mayne, 2; and Ethelstone, bow; Shaw Stewart officiating as the steerer. The Etonians took the lead at starting, but were shortly afterwards gamed upon by the Oxonians, and both were boat and boat for upwards of a mile and a half. The Oxonians, by their superior strength and weight, then drew a little ahead, and won the race by only half a boat's length. The match was beautifully contested by the Eton crew. From the skill and kcience they .displayed they will prove dangerous opponents to the youths of Westminster at their ensuing match. PRIZE FIGHT' FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE Liam' Werairrs.—On Tuesday a fight between Young Reid, of London, and Paddy Gill, of Coventry, took place near the village of Eansham, about six miles beyond Oxford. It excited unusual interest amongst "the milling circles," on account of the great fistic reputation of the combatants, and because it involved the championship of the light weights and a stake of 2001. Reid was the favourite at 2 to 1 before the battle begun, but after the first round odds were betted on his adversary. The fight lasted one hour and twenty minutes, Gill invariably taking the lead, and having de cidedly the best of the contest except in two rounds. Reid's courage never failed him, but his science proved of no avail against the straightforward hitting of Gill, who was the stronger man, and 41b. the heavier of the two. The result has proved a sad blow and great discouragement to the London school, and its supporters have lost large sums by the defeat of their favourite. A PLEASURE VAN ON FIRE.—O❑ Monday evening between 7 and 8 o'clock, the following extraordinary accident took place near Wimbledon.common :—A party left London at an early hour in the morning for the purpose of proceeding to Hampton Court Palace, and on the road home, near Wimbledon. common, the persons in the van were suddenly alarmed by a suf. focating smoke which was issuing from a quantity of straw at the bottom of the van. Their screams caused the driver to stop the horses, and some scrambled out of the windows, whilst others made a precipitate retreat from behind. By the time the van was empty it was discovered that the whole of the straw at the bottom of the vehicle was on fire, which had communicated with the woodwork. The fire was ultimately extinguished with several pails of water, and the party returned home without further danger. The accident is supposed to have originated by one of the passengers dropping a portion of lighted tobacco. . .. - DISASTER AT SEA.—Her Majesty's steam-packet Polyphemus, Lieut. Spark, R.N., Commander, when on her pas. sage to Malta from Marseilles, with the Overland India mail from England, had the misfortune, in lat. 37 deg. 10 min. N., and lon. 11 deg. 10 min. E., on the morning of Sunday, the 13th of July, to run down the French brig Charles Augusle, Jean Videau, master, laden with a cargo of wool and linseed, bound to Marseilles from Trieste, whjch port she had left on the 11th of June. Although blowing- very hard at the time, with a heavy sea running, the officers and crew of the steamer save :t all hands (eleven in number) from a watery grave, and landed them at Malta on the following morning. The French vessel, which was lying to at the time, sank almost instantly. No blame whatever attaches to the steamer, which had her lights burning, and the usual watch on deck and lookout on the paddle-boxes, but it is much to be feared that the French men were napping. The following horrible suicide is related by the Courrier de Lyons of the rBth :—" A journeyman shoemaker, living in the Grande Rue Sainte Catharine in a state of great poverty, and who had just lost his wife, yesterday iu a fit of despair threw himself out of a window on the sixth floor, with his child, four years old, in his arms, They were quit* deed when they were picked up," 1 LONDON FRIENDLY INSTIT t.; TION.
