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 ROBERT PEEL'S Bank Charter Bill. No public question, of so mo tnentous 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 %hould 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 " The 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 own 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 nouncing both the original mischief of 1819, and its so-called " complement" of 1844. But the whole question is one of so vital, so immediate, so irresist ible a chai•acter, 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 mixed 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 PITT 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 illustrated, that the gold sovereign and the paper one pound are co-existing. These propositittns are pre UA' IDOE'S ROYAL SURREY THEATRE. THIS EVENING, JULY 15. Immense Attraction—A Grand Opera and the splendid real Water Spectacle every Evening.

No. 1., " PITT'S pound," exhibits outlines of two gold sovereigns, "as money," each containing dwts. 3 grains of standard gold, equated to "forty flings 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 severaVsums of 13s. 4d. each, or three several " PITT'S pound note of 205." each, equal to " forty shillings or two pounds." In stating a comparative estimate of this kind, the 10 dwts. and 6 grains of gold in two sovereigns, and the quarter of 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 3/. per quarter—it being thus established that the 1/. 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 preserved, the quarter of wheat being still equal (by reference to the diagram) to 10 dwts. 6 grains of gold. " Besides this system, taxation may be added to the price of commodities to any extent without altering their natural NOW OL. VII. of MIS S Ready,T RICKLAND'S demonstrations.

System of policy', and who, he no doubt, .N.B. now ready. New and Revised Editions of th e fa s t s ix volumes are also thought, would have effectually succeeded in I tranquillising the sister-country. But cruelly has Henry Canaan, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. the Premier been disappointed in his expectations, for never was there a more inglorious Government than that of Earl DE GREY. From first to last, for a pe riod of upwards of three years, it has been one con tinued succession of humiliating failures. While it has alienated the Catholics, it has not conciliated the Orangemen, and from time to time each party has vied with the other in expressing their unqualified con tempt for it. Weak—rash—vacillating—inconsistent —energetic precisely at the wrong moment, and timid and indolent when it was most necessary to show de cision and vigour —we cannot point to one redeem ing feature in the Ex-Vicoroy's Irish Government. When his Excellency, who is the hero of a hundred defeats, first took possession of his high office, he found Ireland, if not absolutely tranquil, at least willing to hope that she might derive some little benefit from his Administration. The repeal question, though still agitated, was by no means foremost in men's minds, and Mr. O'ComtELL 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 profess it, but he could .not act upon it, for the PEEL policy hung like a millstone about his neck, 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-marchinga of troops ; the mustering of war steam-boats ; and, finally, the prohibition, at the eleventh hour, and under circumstances of imminent danger, of the Clon tarf meeting, followed in due course by the trial and imprisonment of O'ComsELL 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 NORMANBY 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, it' 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. , I 0' 7:7411., *ROI? . • SECOND EDITION.

Ir. :`,IpOI)NER took his seat for Birmingham, and wa , , much cheered by the Tories as he approached the ta:,le to take th.e oaths. The House, -without delay, went into Committee on the Poor-l.tw 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 again go into Committee on the Poor-law Bill. Mr. o'l)Rn:cones affair, it appears, is also to be discussed in the Commons, a 3 Mr. ShEIL gave notice that unless Mr. Ross gave a distinct notice of motion .on the subject, he would do so. The House went into Committee on the Metropoli ttvi Buildings Bill, and all the principal clauses, after leugthened couveriations, Nsere adopted, and the re pot:. wa4 ordered to be received on Friday at twelve o'clock. The House adjourned at Half-past Ten. _llls Excellency Earl Da GREY took his final de partcre from the shores of Ireland on Tuesday last.

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 disqualification 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 was favourable to the enlargement of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S private fortune. There is every human probability that, under his Bill of 1844, no man, now without a fortune, will ever be able, by honest industry, to acquire 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 clusive as to its advantages to our own commerce. The illustration of diagram No. 11., we should only weaken by attempting to add anything to the clever exposition 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 ROBERT PEEL'S didactic essays on the famous question, " what is a pound ?" And these are, 1. That 011 PITT'S 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 Premiersnip for five years longer 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 214 cash. The French Chamber of Deputies have rejected, as was anticipated, the amendment of M. CREMIEUX , which would have exc l u d e d f rom a ll part i c i pation 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 ; majo - city 90. In the Chamber of Peers a brief discussion took place relative to the late arrests. The Viscount DUBOUCHAGE com plained that M. CLIARBONNIER DE LA GUESNERIE, wht nad 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 been made, and yet, though two of the persons taken up had 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 was 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 BOISSY said the dornicilliary visit to the Prince de 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 -ant 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 decla'red that nothing could exceed the perfect politeness and pro priety of their proceedings. A telegraphic dispatch had announced the acquittal if Madame LACOSTE, charged with the murder of her husband, as well as the man who bad been in licted as an accomplice. The following are additional extracts from the papers : The Moniteur publishes a table of receipts of indirect taxes 'or the first half-year of 1844, as compared with the corre ponding period of th`e two preceding years. It shows an ,ncrease 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 Calubrian bands, and at Malta hopes were entertainca :hat 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 roe desertion and treason against the eons 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 the resignation of his appointment as Aide de- Camp to the King, in dissatisfaction at the breach of faith which the Ministry wished to commit towards General Grivas, but, which M. Piscatory 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• reed to obtain judgment by default against Grivas, who thereupon retired to Smyrna. 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. We learn from Dresden, July 9, that although apparent I.anquillity has been restored at Prague, there is great agi- Idion still among the labouring classes in other parts of Bo iemia. At Reuschenberg the weavers have destroyed all he machinery and several factories. THE BOURSE—TUESDAY, JULY 16. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. FrTee.

The labourer charges that portion of taxation which he has paid on articles consumed by him on the pro duct of goods or commodities for his employer; the employer or master charges this, in his turn, to the consumer, who finally pays it, as the Legislature meant that he should do. In this way the wealthy and unproductive do bear their share of the taxation of the country—by the en . hanced price they pay for every product of industry. The producers contribute to revenue by the amount of their consumption of Excisable and other commo dities. Nor is this all; the wants and tastesof the people expand with the growing power of production ; so that the greater the production and the denser the population, the burden of taxation is more widely spread over all, and less severely felt. The national wealth is readily and proportionably diffused through numberless channels by the distributive power such a currency gives; and no excessive toll being demanded from the field or the factory labourer, he has the opportu nity left him to raise himself in the social scale. MORTALITT IN THE METROPOLIS.—The return for the week, ending July 13, shows a further de crease in the number of deaths—the total amount from all causes being 831; previous week, 871; aver age 900. The deaths from small-pox are still nume rous, being 43; average, 11. Scarlatina, 69; aver age, 39. In most , other cases there is a decrease. Of the 43 persons who died of small-pox, 35 had not been vaccinated. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, five cases, of which one was by a fall of timber; three by horses and carriages; and one by means not stated. Wound, one case (suicide). Scald, one case. Drown ing, three cases ; and suffocation, one case (not known whether from accident or otherwise). Total, eight males and three females. The thermometer was highest on Thursday, 72, and lowest on Wednesday, 52'6 degrees. Rain, in inches, fur tha week, 011. TIIE FITZWALTER BARONY. THIS DAY'S NEWS. HONE V AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

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 73 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 he heavy, the stogks on hand at Liverpool being unprecedently large; and it ought not to be forgotten that the supplies frotn the East Indies and Egypt are expected to be very Ifirge'lrideed. 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 theffoilagein 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 Nally 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 20,000/. Consols at 993, being an improvement of 3 per cent. upon the lowest values of yesterday. Consols for the Account have not been quoted quite so high, 993 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 1013 to 10 9 ; 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 Cents. at 33 3 ; Russian at 119 ; Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. at 1013 ; and Columbian ex Venezuelan at 13 and I. The prices of Railway Shares have not varied much. Bir 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. FLANDERS MAIL. 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 t o - morrow . BRUSSELS, JULY 14 AN D 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 considerable damage in the environs. Whole fields of wheat are laid waste. Of course the annual procession in honour of the Holy Sacrament of the Miracles, the fgte of which is celebrated tor 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.

" Sir,—Lhave 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 b - ank-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. 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 larden, solicitor, who was in attendance on the part of the deceased, stated that he saw him last even ing in 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. 'fhe 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 Northland. - 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.

Richard Muston, 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 wceedingly 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. He gave him into custody. The prisoner could snake no other defence than that the master had struck him first; whereupon The MAGISTRATE observed that a master had a right to give his appreistice reasonable correction, and fined the boy 10s., or a commensurate term of imprisonment.

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 fishermen 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), whit e The Midge (W. Oriffiths), harlequin 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 clailse 55 being proposed, Mr. VERNON SMITH said he rose for the purpose of asking for some explanation from the Right Hon. 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. FIAWES, 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. Clituse 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. GRAHAM had no ob;ection to the insertion of the 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 tuo 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 propoied, 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, therefoze, 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 iu any parish containing more than 20,000 inhabitants, where relief has hitherto been administere4 to the poor by the guardians under the provisions or a local Act, without first obtaining the consent; hi writing, of at least two-thirds of such guardians, or a majority of ratepayers assembled its public meeting, called especially for that puipose. [LEFT SITTING.' ORLANDO AND THE DERBY SWEEPS. 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 th e p r i ze, t h 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 less 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 uprightnesss 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. SlR,—Being one amongst hundreds of those untbrtunate depositors with Mr. Myatt, 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. Ta enumerate the great sufferings of the poor in this neighbour. hood would be impossible. The shop prevents 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 dcztroyed, still no notice is given to the public whether they shall receive such pro party 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 COAOII AOCIDENT.—A few minutes before eight o'clock on Saturday evening last, as the Shuttle coaeb, 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 mit, au d the wheel came off, and four pas sengers and the coachman were thrown from the top of tilq mach. One woman, the wife of Samuel Kenyon, block printer, Bank Top, M anc h es t er, was killed QB owspot, 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 Little Mersey 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. Entrance, one guinea each boat. The Earl, Chester Club Boat, No. 1 Princess Royal ... Amphitrite An easily won race. A Piece of Plate, value five guineas, for skiff's, to be sculled by gentlemen amateurs , the _gift of the Proprietors of the Eastham Ferry. Entrance, les. each skiff. Gazelle, G. Matthews ...... . (light blue) 1 Psyche, A. Byrne (blue and yellow) 0 Ariel, W. Young (red) 0 The prize was won by a skiff' belonging to Birkenhead, but we were unable to get her name, but should be inclined to think it was the Gazelle. - 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 amile 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 tine 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. SUIVARY OF EWS AND 'Outfit Opinion. " Who runs may read." ZLI. On Tuesday the French POZ funds we ON re firm.
