Daylight View of LONDON in the OLDEN TIME I Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is Iseyond all Conner precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea_ t.on, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex. hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa. eons Lake, to be Hilly appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men 'ays Tues. itlisys, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. G o dfrey, are upon a scale oimore than usual excellence: but words fail in statiiijustica to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same me so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, that delight is predominant over terror; and the thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless trim% ph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect ~tate, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis. getting of the Animals at Five—Concert at Six—Conflagratlon at Dusk.

The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. Mr. SrOONER took his seat for Birmingham, and was much cheered by the Tories as he approached the *a hie to take the oaths. The House, without delay, went into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill, and went through the clauses from 37 to 55, when the House resumed. This day the Railways Bill will be proceeded with from twelve to one o'clock, when the House will agitin go into Committee on the Poor-law Bill. Mr. O'DRISCOLL'S affair, it appears, is also to be gliseussed in the Commons, as Mr. SHEIL gave notice that unless Mr. Ross gave a distinct notice of motion on the subject, he would do so. The douse went into Committee on the Metropoli, tan Buildings 13111, and all the principal clauses, after lengthened conversations, were adopted, and the re port was ordered to be received on Friday at twelve eVork. The House adjourned at Half-past Ten. his Excellency Earl DE GREY took his final de- Torture from the shores of Ireland on Tuesday last. As he passed on his way to the place of embarka tion, he was received by the crowds who are always in attendance on such occasion;, with the most frigid indifference; here and there an attempt was made to gat up a cheer, which, however, had no other effect than to draw forth loud groans and yells of reprobation from the populace; seeing which his Lordship's well-wishers gave up all further attempt at applause, and the Ex-Viceroy was allowed to pro we 1 on his course in the midst of a comparative silence, which was more sisnificant than the noisiest demonstrations. So ends the pttblic career, as least as far as Ireland is concerned, of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Lord Leiutenant, whom he selected as the fittest man he knew of to carry out his faeotirite system of policy, and who, he no doubt-, thought, would have effectually eueteeded in tranquillising the sieterscountey, But cruelly has the Premier been disappointed in his expectations, for never was there a more inglorious Government thati that of Earl DE GREY. From first to testy tor is riod of upwards of three years, it has !real ere! en tinued succession of humiliatieg failures. While it has alienated the Catholics, it has not conciliated the Orangemen, and from time to time each party he. vied with the other in expressing their unratified ton tempt for it. Weak—rash—vacillating —inconsistent —energetic precisely at the wrong moment, and tiethl and indolent when it was most necessery to show de cision and vigour —we eitnnot point to one redeem ing feature in the Ex-Viceroy's Irish Government, When his Excellency, who is the here of a hundred defeats, first took possession of his high office, he found Ireland, if not absolutely tranquil, at Iciest willing to hope that she might derive some little benefit from his Administration. The repeal question, though still agitated, was by no means fsremost in men's minds, and Mr. O'Coeseee more than once lamented the supineness of his countrymen on the subject. By an enlightened and conciliatory course of policy, such as he induced Ireland to believe he would adopt, Earl DE GREY might have given a complete quietus to the demand for the Repeal of the Union. Never had a man a better opportunity of doing so. All that was required of him was, that he should exhibit firm ness and impartiality, and not allow himself to be led astray by party predilections. But to maintain a rigid system of impartiality seems never once to have entered into his calculations; he might indeed prof es s it, but he could not act upon it, for the PEEL policy hung like a millstone about his Lock, paralysing whatever disposition he may have felt to do justice to an enlarged and unbiassed spirit. The consequence was just what might have been antici pated. The clamour for a repeal of the Union gathered daily fresh strength ; what was at first the mere cry of the few soon became the demand of the many ; monster-meetings were held in all quarters ; subscriptions to a vast amount were continually pour ing into the repeal exchequer; and, ere the year 1842 had passed away, the country was in a state of combustion from one end to the other. Then came the headlong rush into Ireland of horse, foot, and artillery; the repairing and garrisoning of forts; the marchings and counter-marchings of troops ; the mustering of war steam-boats ; and, finally, the prohibition, at the eleventh hour, and under circumstances of imminent danger, of the Clore tarf meeting, followed in due course by the trial and imprisonment of O'CONNELL for conspiracy, the sole effect of which has been to increase tenfold the exas peration of his countrymen, and impress them with the conviction that his trial has been anything but a fair one. Such are the results of three years of the trimming PEEL policy carried out through the agency of Earl DE GREY ! Its influence upon Ireland has been most disastrous. It has neutralised all the good effects produced by the conciliatory system of government adopted by Lords NORMANDY and FORTESCUE, arid engendered a state of things which it will require all the known tact and experience of Lord HEYTESBURY to ameliorate. We trust we are not unduly sanguine, if we express our belief that the new Viceroy, warned by the ignominious failures of his predecessor, will deem it his duty to legislate on a totally different principle, and substitute the substance of impartiality for the shadow—the thing for the word. ,Under the new "complement" Act assuredly this will not be the case. That is a capital Act for en hancing the value of bullion on money to those who have already got it, by whatever means. It is a vir tual and probably an intentional disqualifibation of those who have it not from ever acquiring it, through whatever merits they may deserve them. There is just a possibility that the Gold Currency Act of 1819 vvas favourable to the enlargementof Sir ROBERT PEEL'S private fortune. There is every human probability that, tinder his Bill of 1844, no man, now without a fortune, will ever be able, by honest industry, to &lull.° so large a one as that bequeathed to Sir ROBERT PEEL by his late father. What is said on the subject of foreign trade, in the same illustration of the operation of the paper pound system, is con clir3ivc as to its advantages to our own commerce. The illustration of diagram No. IL, we should only weaken by attempting to add anything to the clever expositi►►n of the evils of the gold standard. But it concludes with two assertions, to which we are apt to think the public will attach much more value than to the improved platitudes of Sir ROTIERT PEEL'S didactic essays on the famous question, " what is a pound ?" And these are, 1. That on,Prrfs pound the National Debt was chiefly con tracted, and might have been paid off within the last twenty-five years. 2. That on PEEL'S pound the Na tional Debt has been virtually doubled in amount; but we are reluctant to believe—and cannot allow—that it " never can be paid," except, indeed, in the disas trous contingency of Sir ROBERT'S retaining the Premiership for five years longer I Madrid jourhals of the 10th inst. have been re ceived. The Gazette publishes a return of the national property sold in the month of June, which realised 9,041,996 reals (90,0001.) The entire pro perty sold had realised more than two millions ster ling. The ensuing election begins to excite some little interest. The lists are to be closed on the 3d of August, and publicly posted up on the 19th during fifteen days. The elections will commence throughout the provinces on the 3d of September, and the general scrutiny take place on the 14th. The Funds are rather more firm. The Three per Cents. reached 261 for cash, 27 at 60 days; and the Fives 201 cash. The French Chamber of Deputies have rejected, as was anticipated, the amendment of M. CREMIEUX, which would h ave exc l u d e d f rom all participation in railroad companies the Members of both Chambers, The majority Was very large, the motion for the amendment being only 105, while the Bill as amended by' the Peers was adopted by 195 ; majority 90. In the Chamber of Peers a brief discussion took place relative to the late arrests. The Viscount DUBOUCHAGE com plained that M. CIIABBOYMER DE LA GUESNERIE, whc had been brought from a distance of sixty leagues, and, though 60 years of age and afflicted with acute rheu matism, was kept for ninety-six hours in a humid cell. It was now near three weeks since those arrests had beet made, and yet, though two of the persons taken up;bad offered to give heavy bail for their appearance, they could not obtain their liberty. Undoubtedly the . Government ought to be authorised to take all proper precautions, but not in the vexatious manner practised in this instance. The Minister of Public Instruction said the Noble Peer was greatly mis taken insupposing that these arrests were preventive-- they were executed in virtue of judicial warrants, and after law proceedings regularly instituted. But the Noble Peer was also in error in supposing that any inhumanity %vas practised. The persons arrested ac knowledged themselves that they had been perfectly well treated ; which fact it was easy to ascertain, as access to them was not interdicted. The Marquis DE BOTSSY said the domicilliary visit to the Prince do ROSBECQ had been made in an offensive manner. This was lenied on the part of the Government. The Prince had been arrested in consequence of a regular war rant from a judge, and two of the most moderate and gentlemanly commissaries of police in the admi nistration had been selected for the duty. Two re latives of the Prince de ROSBECQ had declared that nothing could exceed the perfect politeness and pro priety of their proceedings. A telegraphic dispatch had announced the acquittal of Madame LACOSTE, charged with the murder of her husband, as well as the man who had been in dicted as an accomplice. The folios ing are additional extracts from the papers : The Atimilcur publishes a table of receipts of indirect taxes for the first half-year of 1844, as compared with the corre sponding period of the two preceding years. It shows an increase of 7,752,000 f. over 1843, and of 14,077,000 f. over 1842. Malta letters of the sth inst., received by the Levant mail, give some details of the landing of the Italian refugees in Calabria. , Some of them appear from these to have joined the. Calabrian bands, and at Malta hopes were entertained that among them were all the leaders of the enterprise, with the exception of Moro, who was known to be mortally wounded. We read in A letter from Venice of the 7th inst.:—" The Neapolitan Government has made a communication to that of Vienna relative to the Austrian subjects made prisoners in Calabria. It is believed that the Austrian Government will not demand their extradition, in order to be spared a process for desertion and treason against the sons'of a distinguished and meritorious officer." Letters from Athens of the 30th ult, inform us that tran quillity had been re-established. A warrant had been issued for the arrest of Germano Mavromichali, accused of being the exciter of the disturbances on the 23d, which cost the lives of several persons. General Tzavellas—since exiled to Syra— has tendered tie resignation of his appointment as Aide- de- Camp to the King, in dissatisfaction at th e b reac h o f f a i t h which the Ministry wished to commit towards General Grivas, but which M. l'iscatory prevented by taking him under the protection of the French flag. The President of the Council persisting in not recognising the compromise between Ge nerals Tzavellas and Grivas, announced that he should pro. ceed to obtain judgment by default against Grivas, who thereupon retired to Stnyrna. The King of Naples arrived at Messina on the 29th ult., and soon afterwards left for Catania, on his way to Girgenti, Trapani, and Palermo. Prince Metternich left Vienna on the Bth, for the Baths of Ischia. No public question, within our experience or re collection, has developed more varied ability and talent, out of doors, than that of the " Currency," since the first announcement of Sir Ronan' PEEL'S Bank Charter Bill. No public question, of so mo mentous or extensive a character, has ever been treated with such unpardonable apathy or misconcep tion by the great majority of the representatives of the people in the House of Commons, as the pre sent state of our monetary system, and its future relations under the same Bill. If, out of the 658 trustees of the interests `of the people at large, who are returned to Parliament by the electoral con stituency of the United Kingdom (a body consisting of some hundreds of thousands of persons), only some forty or thirty are "still few and faithful found" in the conflict between the advocates of the unfettered action of property and labour against the monopolizing and absorbing influence of realised capital represented in gold, or convertible into gold at a fixed standard Mint price, it is so much the more important that there should be zealous, active, and able champions in the general field to vindicate the salutary rights of the former upon the destructive and exclusive pre tensions of the latter. Among the many clever attempts at concentrating close reasoning and sound argument on the somewhat ungrateful but all-importaut subject of the Currency, to which the pending discussions have given rise on Sir ROBERT'S last device for injuring industrial labour, in this country, facilitating the usurious employment of capital, and paralysing all the energies of com merce, we may commend to our readers, as well worthy of their perusal, a short paper called "1 he PITT Pound versus the PEEL Pound." In another part of our paper we have reprinted this "Appeal to Common Sense." If we did not find our owe repeatedly-recorded convictions on the matter con firmed by this and other remarkable coincidences of opinion, we might desist from our humble efforts . to press upon the public the adoption of the views we hold upon it, in common with all who concur in de flouncing both the original mischief of 1819, and it:. so-called " complement" of 1844. But the whole question is one of so vital, so immediate, so irresist• ible a character, that, like AARON'S rod -serpent, it swallows up all the rest that interest, at present, the public curiosity. Its vast and pervading importance is felt even now, but it will be hereafter tangibly present in every concern and relation of commercial engagement, State business, or do mestic and social life, that are mi x ed up with the representation, the interchange, transfer, purchase, sale, settlement, bequest, or devise of property— with every dealing, in short, the value or extent of which is to be measured or expressed in money. The " Peri. Pound versus the PEEL Pound" proceeds on the implied concession of this simple and undeniable postulate--" That taxes laid on commo dities do not add to their intrinsic value." Wheat being the selected commodity for the exponent of th e two conclusions finally established (which are "that PITT'S pound will save the country; that PEEL'S pound will ruin the country ") it is further assumed "that 50 per cent. has been required to be added to the price in order to remunerate the producer for the burden imposed on him by indi rect taxation." Of course the argument through. out supposes, with a view to the more per spicuous statement of the propositions by which it is i!lustrated, that the gold sovereign and the paper one pound are co-existing. These propositions are pre ceded by two diagrams, each of which is divided into two parts. No. 1., " PITT'S pound," exhibits outlines of two gold sovereigns, "as money," each containing 5 dwts. 3 grains of standard gold, equated to " forty shillings or two pounds." Beneath these similar outlines of two sovereigns—" gold, as a commodity," each of similar weight with the preceding ones ; and equal to the value of " one quarter of wheat." Then, the second part of the diagram sets out " one quarter of wheat," equal to three several sums of 13s. 4d. each, or three several " PITT'S pound note of 205." each, equal to " forty shilling; or two pounds." In stating a comparative estimate of this kin'), the 10 dwts. and c learn from Dresden, July 9, that although apparent ranquillity has been restored at Prague, there is great agi ation still among the labouring classes in other parts of Bo- At Riuschenberg the weavers have destroyed all ,c machinery and several factories.

G grains of gold in two sovereigns, and the quarter (.f wheat, are taken as " natural equivalents;"—that is their value in relation, each to the other, is estimated by the labour necessary to bring them into market. It being thus shown that the pressure of indirect taxation has forced up wheat from 2/. to 31. per quarter—it being thus established that the 11. loses its value and power to purchase in the proportion in which indirect taxation has added to the price of wheat—that is to say, that it goes no further than 13s. 4d. would have done prior to the imposition of this taxation—it results that this permissive capacity in the paper pound to depre ciate with respect to the gold pound, the intrinsic value of wheat—in gold—is preserve,i, the quarter of wheat being still equal (by reference to the diagram) to 10 dwts. 6 grains of gold.

From almost all parts of the country where recently wool fairs have been held, the results have been most satisfactory. In some instances the improvement is asserted to have been from 74 to 10, and in a few instances 15 per cent. The sales of colonial wools that are at present in progress at the Hall of Commerce, have not commenced so satisfactory as was anticipated by many; but the fact is, that the quanti ties announced for sale are so large, that purchases are made with much caution. Still the requirements of the manu facturers are said to be heavy and urgent, as the demand for woollen manufactures is on the increase. As to the cotton trade, it is not surprising that for the raw interest the mar ket should be heavy, the stocks on hand at Liverpool being unprecedently large; and it ought not to be forgotten that the supplies from 'the East Indies and Egypt are expected to be very large indeed. The indigo trade is not so brisk as was anticipated it would be, hence the slow progress made at the public sales now in course of progress. An ad vertisement appeared in this day's Sun, announcing a further public sale of West India Pine Apples brought over in high perfection. This is a branch of trade that appears likely to be cultivated to an immense extent. Fine pines that would fetch, if hot-house grown here, from 20s. to 255. each, have realised at the late sale from 4s. 6d. to ss. 2d. each. A point yet to be obtained is the arrival of pines from the West In dies with thelfoilage in a higher state of greenness than is the case at present. There are accounts from Van Diemen's Land this morning to the 14th March. It is stated that information had reached there of great injury having been done to the crops in Port Phillip. The account-sales of a load of wheat ship ped from Launceston to England, had been made public through the medium of the papers, and it seems that upon an average Bs. per bushel was remitted back, partly in bills and partly in goods. The result had much pleased the shippers and the agriculturists of the colony. Further consignments are now in progress to the mother country. There is not any political news from Tasmania by the present arrivals. The Government brokers took 20,0001. Consols at 99 4, being an improvement of i 4 per cent. upon the lowest values of yesterday. Consols for the Account have not been quoted quite so high, 994 having been the point gained this morning. The amount of business that has been entered into is considerable. The Unfunded Debt is about the same as yesterday. The Reduced Three per Cents. are per cent. above par; the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced at 1014 to 102 ; Bank Stock at 200 ; and India Bonds at 965. premium. In the Foreign Funds the fluctuations have been slight this morning. The French Rentes have been sold at 122 ; Spanish Consols at 23 ; the Three per Ce n t s . a t 334 4 ; Russian at 119 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 1014; and Columbian ex Venezuelan at 131 and I. The prices of Railway Shares have not varied much. Bit , mingham and Gloucester have at last reached par, having just been transferred at 100. Brighton are better also, viz., at 2 discount. There are no fresh quotations for Banking Shares. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock ..... .................—•••••-•••••••••••••••••••• 129 % 200 3 per Cent.

TIM FITZWALTER BARONY. Mf. t,. WffinAm summed up the evidence on behalf of the elainiarit to this barony, Sir Brooke William Bridges. The ScitAcrrofi•GENitiLit, shortly feplied on behalf of the Crown; and Their LouDsurrs declared that the claimant had made out his claim.—Claim allowed. ADAM v. FARQUHAR. The arguments were then resumed in this part-heard Scotch case, and occupied their Lordships the remainder of the morning. VALET. On Mr. Hardwick, the Magistrate, taking his seat on the Bench this morning, Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief-clerk, handed to him the following letter : " Westminster Bridewell, Tothill•fields, July 18, 1844. " Sir,—l have to acquaint you that John Riley, a prisoner remanded to this prison on the 12th inst., to appear before you this day, on a charge of robbing his master, Lord North land, of a.bank-note, committed suicide during the night, by suspending himself by the neck, by means of a handkerchief, to the fastenings of the cell window. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "AUG.I FRED. TRACEY, Governor. " To John Hardwick, Esq." The bearers of the communication stated that the wretched man had effected his purpose in a most determined manner; the handkerchief by which he had suspended himself he had tied in many knots round his neck, and another thick handkerchief he had tightly tied in close folds over his mouth. He was discovered quite dead on one of the gaolers entering his cell in the morning, and had apparently been so for many hours. Mr. John Wolff, from the office of Mr. Thomas Flower, of No. 96, Hatton-garden, solicitor, who was in attendance on the part of the deceased, stated that be saw him last even ing m the goal, and received instruction from him as to his defence. He then seemed to be in full health and spirits, and expressed his confidence of an acquittal, as he was innocent of the charge against him. The prisoner had been two years in his Lordship's service. The stolen note, which was for ten pounds, was proved to have been passed by him. The prisoner's defence was, that he did not deny passing the note, but alleged that it had been given to him by his master to get change. This, however, was positively denied by Lord IN orthland. The mother of the deceased was in one of the waiting rooms of the Court, and on being informed of her bereave ment, fell into violent hysterics. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Richard Huston, an apprentice, was charged with assault ing Thomas Wiggington, his master, a chain-maker and jeweller, residing in Corporation-row, Clerkenwell. The complainant deposed that since Monday last, on which day he refused the defendant a holiday, he had been annoyed by the defendant's dogged determination not to execute his work properly. On the previous day he gave him a job of work to do, which the boy not executing, witness remon strated with him. The defendant became exceedingly inso lent, whereupon he seized a leathern strap, and struck the defendant on the shoulders with it. The latter immediately seized a pair of iron pincers, and struck him on the forehead with them. Ile gave him into custody. The prisoner could make no other defence than that the master had struck him first ; whereupon • The MacitsTRATE observed that a master had a right to give his apprentice reasonable correction, and fined the boy 103., or a commensurate term of imprisonment.

BRUSSELS, JULY 13.—8 y a royal decree of the Bth of July, 1844, a new delay of one year is granted to the heirs of John Cockerell, during which they shall be protected against the creditors of that gentleman. This delay is granted on condition that the heirs of John Cockerell shall continue the management of his affairs, together with six Commissioners. A Commission, consisting of the Directors of the Rhenish Railway, and of the chief officers of the Belgian Railway, had a meeting to-day, at which the Minister of Public Works presided, to examine the international tariff. The Commis sion sat nearly seven hours, and will meet again to-morrow. BRUSSELS, JULY 14 AND 15.—The bad weather has much disturbed the first day of our great fair. There was an un interrupted hurricane almost the whole morning, with tor rents of rain. A furious wind prevailed for more than twenty four hours, and caused considerabl e d amage i n t h e env i rons. Whole fields of wheat are laid waste. Of course the annual procession in honour of the Holy Sacrament of the Miracles, the fete of which is celebrated for fifteen successive days in the church of St. Gudule, could not take place. TRIESTE, JULY s.—Letters from Alexandria state that the regular troops in the Soudan, consisting of negro slaves cap tured in Kardofan and Darfour, had mutinied against the officers, and have set out for Nigritia Oir. The - Osservatore of to-day gives the intelligence that Me hemet Ali has sent three divisions of Amants from Upper Egypt to Karloum, which are to be immediately followed by five battalions of infantry. Emir Pacha, one of the five governors of the Soudan, was recalled, and to be tried by a court-martial, the blame of the disturbances being imputed to him. The works of fortifying Alexandria are proceeding rapidly. SPORTING INTELLIGENC E (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING-YESTERDAY. The Croxteth Stakes 415 sovs. 10 ft &c. Mile and quarter.

The races were well attended, but produced indifferent sport. EASTHAM REGATTA-TUESDAY. The first regatta that ever took place at Eastham came off yesterday, and afforded a delightful recreation to some thou sands of persons, not only from the excellence of the sports themselves, and the subsidiary amusements, but from the beauty of the scenery, rural and marine, and the general hilarity and good humour that prevailed throughout. The day was beautifully clear, with a refreshing breeze from the northward; and from the fine sloping pleasure grounds of the hotel, and the still more romantic line of shore near it, the diversity of prospect was truly charming, the several contests being seen to much advantage, as well as the fine expanse of the grand basin of the Mersey, bounded on the north and south by the woodland shores of Lancashire and Cheshire, while the great western emporium of commerce loomed in the distance. It being announced that the Eastham steamers would run every half-hour, their decks were crowded to excess. The Eastham Cup, value ten guineas (in specie), for four oared gigs, to be rowed and steered by fi s h er men or boat men plying on the rivers Dee or Mersey ; the second boat to receive three guineas. Entrance, 10s. each boat. The Little Mersey (John Murphy), white The Midge (W. Griffiths), harlequin 2 THE ROYAL ACADEMY CLUB. A great boat race, amongst the gentlemen of the Royal Academy Club, for a pair of gold oars, will take place on Tuesday next, from Vauxhall to Putney-bridge. The fol lowing have been drawn by lot to contend, and avery spirited race is expected :—Messrs. H. Cooper and P. Smith, T. L. Atkinson and Robins, Dodd and Emery, Cameron and Moor head, Emmerson and Howard, A. D. Cooper and Mathieu, Revel and C. D. Smith. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We extremely re gret to announce that in the contest for the Hooton Cup, one of those lamentable casualties of but too frequent occurrence took place. A short time after the boats had rounded the flag barge situated about a mile and a half above the Eastham Ferry, the Amphitrite shipped a sea and swamped. A num ber of boats, as also a steamer, were close at hand, but, in despite of all their endeavours, they only succeeded in saving four out of five of the crew, and two of those, a Mr. Dixon, and.we believe a Mr. Mold, of Chester, in an almost sense less state. The remaining one, a fine young boy, who acted as coxswain, Mr. William Henry Brown, son of the late Mayor of Chester, was drowned. The body had not been recovered up to a late period of the evening. —Liverpool Courier. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at One o'clock. POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The House went into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill. On clause 55 being proposed, Mr. VERNON SMITH said he rose for the purpose of asking for some explanation from theßightllon. Gen tleman as to the nature of this clause. Sir J. GRAHAM admitted that there was some de gree of ambiguity in the clause ; but it was intended to give exclusive power to paid rate collectors to collect the rates, and thus save parishes the expense of a double set of officers for performing the same functions. After some discussion, Mr. WAKLEY said the clause was so obscure and in tricate, that it was enough to tie one's brains up in knots to read it.—(Hear, hear.) He advised the Right Hon. Baronet to postpone the clause till it could be made clearer. Sir J. GRAHAM said, when he allowed the clause was ambiguous, he did not admit there was any fault in the construction of it. Mr. HAWES, in clause 55, moved the following pro viso --" Provided always, that where the appointment of such assistant overseer shall have been made under the powers of any local Act of Parliament of a parish containing more than twenty thousand persons, such appointment shall continue, and the powers of such local Act as to any future appointment of an assistant over seer shall be exercised, notwithstanding the provisions of this Act." The proviso was agreed to, and the clause, as amended, was passed. Clause 56 was then postponed, which imposed a penalty upon overseers for neglect in providing funds for the re lief of the poor. Mr. HENLEY objected to it, as it would act with great severity on overseers. Sir J. GRAHAM considered the clause absolutely necessary to prevent that neglect which had taken place on several occasions. Mr. HENLEY thought the word " wilful" should be inserted in the clause. Sir J. GRALIAMIad no objection to the insertion of he word. Mr. WAKLEY trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would not consent to the insertion of the word " wilful," as nothing was more difficult than to define or prove wilful neglect: He did not consider the clause as it now stood too stringent. Mr. HENLEY objected to the offence being considered as a misdemeanour. Sir J. GRAHAM would consent to the offence being punished by a fine. The clause, as amended, was then agreed to. On clause 57 being proposed, which provided that guardians under local Acts should conduct their pro ceedings in the same manner as guardians appointed under the 4th and sth of William IV., Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the words "local Acts " should be struck out, as he was anxious to ex clude metropolitan parishes, at present governed by local Acts. Sir J. GRAHAM opposed the omission of the words local Acts. There were several country parishes in which the provision was necessary. Mr. MUNTZ said that the parishes under local Acts objected to be under the control of the Poor-law Com missioners at all. He should, therefore, move the omission of all the: words after the words " provided always," and the insertion of these words in their place :—That it shall not be lawfnl for the said Commissioners to interfere with the management of the poor in any parish containing more than 20,000 inhabitants, where relief has hitherto been administered to the poor by the guardians under the provisions of a local Act, without first obtaining the consent, in writing, of at least two-thirds of such guardians, or a majority of ratepayers assembled in public meeting, called especially for that purpose.. [LEFT SITTING.I ORLANDO AND THE DERBY S WEEPS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having been designated " one of the Bishes of the world," in Derby and St. Leger sweeps, and having much practical experience, may Ibe allowed to state my opinion, through your valuable journal, relative to the claims on the prizes in the various sweeps on the late Derby race, at Ep som. Having observed in the Era of Sunday last, that a Mr. Jenson, of the Fir Tree, Church-lane, Whitechapel, had waited on Mr. Norton, the sitting Magistrate, at Lambeth street, for his advice, in consequence of the holder of Running Rein claiming the first prize in his sweeps, and having like wise stated that several other licensed victuallers were in the same situation, I would recommend to Mr. Jenson, and all others so situated, to be determined, and pay the prizes to the real winners of the Derby--Orlando Ist, lonian 2d, Bay Momus 3d. I have had no trouble with my sweeps, and have paid upwards of 4,0001. in prizes. I received, from two par ties in London, letters claiming for Running Rein, but took no notice of them. I ask, what claim had the drawer of Running Rein to either the first prize, or even to a draw back ? That horse never appeared on the course ; he never started for the race; he never was disqualified for the race— in fact, he had no more claim than any other horse that was entered and paid forfeit. Therefore, even admitting, that by the rules of the club, that the horse that came in first, and so placed by the judge, was entitled to the prize, th e horse called Running Rein has no claim. The judge placed Orlando first for the Derby race, because he was judging the: Derby horses; and the horse, supposed to be Running Rein, had no more to do with the race than any horse that was ridden to clear the course. I am borne out in these assertions by the proceedings on the trial, where the question was, "Is this Running Rein, or is it not ?" It was proved not to be Running Rein, but a colt by Gladiator, and four years old, instead of being three years old, and by the Saddler, out of Mab. The case of Leander is somewhat different; I believe he would have been proved to be four years old, if he had won : but we know of no other Leander, and therefore it would have been a question with him of disqualification through age. But the alleged Running Rein was not the horse at all. I hope this explanation may meet the eyes of the parties interested; and I am sure, if they are not wrapt up in selfishness, they will honestly con fess that they have taken a wrong view of the case, and will admit with me, that they have no claim to the prize. With my best wishes for the honour and uprightness of the turf; I am yours, very respectfully, JAMES BAKE. Post. office Hotel, Manchester. THE LATE FIRE IN WHITE CHAPEL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Being one amongst hundreds of those unfortunate depositors with Mr. Fryatt, the pawnbroker, I am quite at a loss to know how, and in which way, the property not de stroyed is to be disposed of. On Friday evening, the sth ult., the fire took place, and hitherto no notice is given how the public are situated, Hundreds of poor creatures, who have pledged the property intrusted to them by their employers, are out of employment ; and too many have suffered by pledging their tools. To enumerate the great sufferings of the poor in this neighbour hood would be impossible. The shop presents at this mo ment an awful spectacle; hundreds of sufferers are seen lurk ing about the place, the shutters are closed, the first, second, and third floor windows are open, and the articles pledged are hung up in sight of the owners. Although the upper part of the premises, where the fire commenced, and where the small parcels are kept, is only destroyed, still no notice is given to the public whether they shall receive such pro perty not damaged, and, if it is at all to be had, when? Surely the pawnbroker cannot detain all and every article in his possession, damaged or not damaged? By giving publicity to the above in your valuable journal, it may be the means of appeasing the minds of thousands who have suffered by this calamity, and you will greatly oblige your very indigent servant, A GREAT SUFFERER. 48, Whitechapel, July 17, 1844. FATAL COACH ACCIDENT.—A few minutes before eight o'clock on Saturday evening last, as the Shuttle coach, belonging to Mr. Thomas Spencer, was on Its way from Bury to Manchester, when about 150 yards from the Bess's-o'-th'- Barn toll-bar, on the Bury New Road, the finch-pin of the off hind wheel fell out, and the wheel came off, and four pas sengers and the coachman were thrown from the top of the coach. One woman, the wife of Samuel Kenyon, block printer, Bank Top, Manchester, was killed on the spot.— Manchester Guardian. The Nettle (J. Murphy), white and red 0 A well contested race between the first and second boats, both of which belonged to Liverpool, and was won by about 200 yards. The distance was about three miles. The Ladies' Purse, value two guineas, for fishermen's boats, to be rowed by women residing in the hundred of Wirral, Chester, or Liverpool ; the second boat to receive 10s. Entrance, 2s. each boat. The Midge 1 Little Mersey 2 Considerable merriment was occasioned by this race—each of the contending parties wearing party colours, and each confident of success. Immediately after the start the Little Mersey unavoidably got foul of a fishing boat, owing to which we believe the prize will be divided. Had this not occurred,, though the women of the Midge were the decided favourites, there is little doubt that the Little Mersey would have been the winner. The Hooton Cup, value twenty guineas, given by Sir Wil liam Massey Stanley, Bart., added to a sweepstakes of three guineas each, for four-oared gigs, to be rowed and steered by gentlemen amateurs (open to all the world) ; the second boat to receive five guineas out of stakes.
