PRAGUE, JULY 10.—We had fresh disturbances on the Bth, but on this occasion blood was spilt. The workmen on the railway assembled, to the number of some hundreds, near the Porzitseh-gate, and remained perfectly quiet during the morning, but did not work. It is said they are dissatisfied because, it having rained the day before, they were prevented from working, and received only part of the day's wages. Some companies of infantry and squadrons of cavalry were sent to occupy the gates. About four o'clock in the afternoon, it is not known from what causes (some say because the cavalry attempted to disperse them) they began an attack with stones on the Porzitseh-gate, which was shut. Ten rods of the railway were broken up. The stones were torn from the new wall, which runs along the Risks Mountain, and thrown at the soldiers. The Custom-house was demolished, the Imperial Eagle torn down and trampled under foot, till at length Prince Windisch Gratz, •the General commanding in Bohemia, ordered the troops to fire. Two persons were killed, one of whom was the child of a merchant that happened to be standing at a window. We saw six wounded persons, but do not know if there were more. It is said that there are several in the hospital who were wounded by the cavalry. The animosity and rage of the populace is great, especially against the Jews. Several companies of soldiers remained in the neighbourhood during the night of the Bth, to protect the Jews' quarter. GOVERNMENT AND THE RAILWAYS BILL.—We are gratified in being enabled to state that the result of the interview which took place on Wednesdaybetween Mr. Glad stone, on the part of the Government, and Mr. Entwisle, M.P., Mr. Hudson, Mr. Glyn, Mr. Saunders, &c., as a dep.- tatiou from the railway companies, was in the highest degree satisfactory. The subject having been fully gone into, the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade stated his deter mination so to modify the Bill as to render it in every way unexceptionable to the railway interest. The measure will now pass through Parliament without opposition, and will prove, to adopt the language of a gentleman, a member of the deputation, who has hitherto taken a leading part in opposi tion to the Bill, " a good Bill for the public as well as for the railway shareholders.—Ministerial paper. THE Hors.—MAIDSTONE, JULY 16.—Our hop ac counts received yesterday speak of great damage having been done to the plantations in this district by the gale on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Poles have been thrown down in all directions, and an experienced planter gives it as his opinion that not less than twenty thousand pounds of duty has been blown away. In one plantation of between thirty and forty acres the damage is estimated at four tons. This, add e d t o th e s hortness of bine in many places f.ent,en and the extensive blight in Sussex, must make the crop a short am—Maidstone Intellisencer.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ROYAL MARINE CORPS. —A court-martial is being held at Woolwich, Colonel Mercer, president, on First Lieutenant Charles Louis, for being found absent from his duty last week at Deptford Dockyard, when the storeship Madras was on fire. We believe it will close to-day. It is likely the above circumstance will cause some alteration to be made in the number of officers appointed to the guard at Deptford; at present only one captain and two subalterns have the whole of the duty to per form with 150 men, consequently only on a portion of every third day is the subaltern off duty; and the cap tain may be considered to be always on duty. It is said the authorities will order a field officer in command, with a proportionate number of subordinate officers, to such a charge. It has been a matter of surprise that among the pro motions which have lately appeared in the Gazette of officers belonging to this gallant corps, the name of the officer who commanded the guard of honour at the em barkation of the Emperor of Russia, and who was in troduced to his Imperial Majesty, has not appeared. We hear this officer stands alone, as having received neither present nor promotion. The Earl of Haddington and the other Lords of the Admiralty visited Deptford Dockyard on Tuesday, and mastered the officers and men belonging to the esta • blishment. The Collingwood, 80, Captain H. Eden, bent sails and crossed topgallant-yards on Tuesday, and it is ex pected will leave Portsmouth Harbour for Spithead on Saturday. She has a very fine set of men on board, to all appearance, both as respects their physical and sailor-like qualities. She will be ready for sea on the 25th instant. The Queen, 110, Coptain Martin, was taken into dock at Portsmouth, on Monday, all standing, with her middle and main-deck guns in, and all her stores on board, under the charge of Mr. Bellamy, the master. On Tuesday morning her pendant was re-hoisted, being Commissioned by Lieutenant Robert Hall, of the Camperdown. She will remain in dock until some alteration is made in her cabins and other in ternal fittings. Her copper is in good condition, it merely requiring the edges of the sheets to be beaten down. The commissions of the other officers are not dated. As soon as the stores of the Camperdown are returned, they and the crew will be turned over to the Queen, using the Camperdown for their hulk until the Queen is out of dock, which will not be until the next spring tides. The Seaflower, cutter, Lieutenant Commander Robil- Hard, it has been found, requires extensive repairs. The shipwrights are at work on her, in the ditch dock, Ports • mouth. The Superb, 80, advanced ship, has been taken into dock to be cleaned. The Indus, 78, supernumerary advanced ship for Portsmouth, instead of flip Malabar, was undocked, at Devonport, on Tuesday morning. The Terrible, steam-frigate, building at Deptford, is to hale tubular boilers, and small engines to fitch the boilers. The Firefly, surveying steam• vessel, Captain F. W. Beechy, arrived at Devonport on Tuesday evening, to be paid advance wages, previously to commencing her sur. veying duties. The Lyra, 4, old brig, is to be fitted with jury gear, at Devonport, and taken to Greatham Creek, by the Vulcan revenue steam-vessel, Lieut.-Commander Baker, where she is to be stationed as a watch-vessel for the Customs. SMUGGLING IT DEVONPORT.—The barque Edward, belonging to Mr. Thomas Restarick, merchant, of this town, arrived at this port, on Sunday, from Quebec, with a cargo of timber. On the Custom-house officers examining her, they discovered nearly 700 cwt. of tobacco in the forehold. The ship was immediately put under surveillance of the authorities, and the crew were taken into custody. PORTSMOUTH.—Free-mart fair is now in full force, and is said to be more fully attended than for many years past. The paying off the Queen and Childers has made a fine harvest for the fair people. LOSS OF THE MATILDA AND THE ADDINGHAM. " Foreign-office, July 17, 1844. " SIR,—I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to transmit to you,i for the information of the Chairman and Committee at Lloyd's, copies of two dispatches from her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires and Consul-General in Chili, reporting the wreck of the British ships Matilda and Addingham.—l am, Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) " CANNING. " To William Dobson, Esq., &c. &c., Lloyd's." " Santiago, Jan. 3, 1844. " MY LORD,—lnclosed is the copy of the declaration of the Master of the British merchant brig Matilda, having relation to the wreck of that vessel in the Archi pelago of Guaticas in the month of October last. The said declaration, taken before the Intendent of the Pro vince of Chili, has been conveyed to me by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.—l have, &c. (Signed) " JOHN WALPOLE. " The Earl of Aberdeen, K.T., &c. &c." The declaration of Captain George Dawson, of the brig Matilda, above referred to is to the effect, that on the 4th of last October he sailed from Valparaiso, bound for Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, with a cargo of wheat and Brazil wood ; that 16 days after, in lat. 42 5 S., lon. 77 40 44 W., she was struck by a heavy sea, which carried away the galley, all the water casks on deck, the boat, and one side of her upper works, from which ac cident the vessel began to leak ; that the pumps became choaked with the wheat that was stowed in bulk ; and that the crew, under the circumstances, informed' him, that unless he at once made for the nearest coast, they would take possession of the -vessel, and save their lives at all risks. That after this intimation he continued his course for half an hour, but seeing that the water was increasing, and that his officers were of the same opinion as the sailors, he steered for the nearest land, and immediately began throwing cargo overboard; that when the vessel was lightened by this expedient they discovered that the head of a plank had been started. In forty-four hours after bearing up they an chored in the Guaiticas ; that the vessel remained about eight days waterlogged, when she foundered altogether, on account of the heavy gales which they experienced. They afterwards came to this port in a boat belonging to the captain, bringing with them of what belonged to the vessel, her long-boat and three sails, one of which the sailors cut up for clothes, and they sold the othea two, together with the long-boat, to support themselves, and to pay the freight of a vessel which brought them from Guaiticas to this city.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROII3OIII RAILWAY.—A protracted inquiry took place on Thursday be fore Mr. Joseph Payne, the Deputy-Coroner, in the Board room of Guy's Hospital, touching the death of Benjamin Cat, termole, aged 33 years. It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that on Sunday a ft ernoon last deceased entered one of the third-class carriages at Croydon, for Lon don ; he was quite sober, .and made himself very familiar with the other passengers. While proceeding towards town, when the train had reached the Jolly Sailor, he suddenly made an effort to sit on the top of the back part of the car riage, when he overbalanced himself, and fell between the coupling-irons and the chain on to the rails, Iyhen the whole of the train, which was going at full speed, passed over his becl s y.

" Monsieur le Marechal,—l cannot inform you better of the combat of the 3d July, than by sending you a copy of the letter that I have written to his Royal Highness the Prince Joinville. It will tell you all that I could have stated in a direct report. " MARSHAL BUGEAUD TO HIS ROYAL HIGIMESS THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE. "Bivouac on the Oued Islv, near the mouth of the Oued Mouilah, July 3, 1844. " Monseigneur,—ln my letter of the Ist of July, I stated that I was advancing on the Tipper Mouliah, in order to favour the return of a large fraction of the Augades, the chief of whom had come into nay camp the day before, in order to negotiate about his submission and his return. The point of the river where I pitched my camp, bears the name of Oued Isly. "The Moorish camp, which was two leagues thence, came on to me, and established itself at two cannon ranges, in a way which seemed provisional. In the course of the day, some eclaireurs of the enemy came and fired on our out-posts. Their fire was not slackened ; a few horsemen of our Augades having approached the camp, I sent some of our Arabs to converse with them, and ascertain whether the movement agreed to was being effected. They proved arrogant and boastful, and said that the Moorish Chief having been apprised of the intercourse they had had with us, he had made the tribe go back to the mountains. _ _ " They added that, whether we retired or marched on, a combat would take place next day; that the Moors had re ceived a reinforcement of 1,200 men of cavalry under the command of Scheriffe Mamoun, and of 1,000 men of infantry commanded by Harnida, the old kaid of Ouchda ; and that if we were conquerors they would submit. I had not the in tention of marching forward. " Early this morning I retired in good order of combat to the cavalry ; the eclaireurs of the enemy soon commenced the fire with my rear-guard ; those horse tirailleurs were successively reinforced and formed in a short time a large arc of a circle, which embraced a part of my right and left echelons ; the bulk of the enemy's troops advanced slowly ; they did not seem determined to fight, but were desirous, as would appear, to give us so very serious an accompaniment which would have been celebrated as a victory. " When I stopped, the enemy also stopped. This sort of work continued for a league and a half. Net wishing to leave the Moors a moral advantage which they would have turned to great account with their co-religionnaires, I decided on assuming the offensive, and soon after we drove before us all those undisciplined horsemen. "That of the enemy has been so dispersed by our offensive movement, that their superior numbers were no longer to be apprehended. Nevertheless, I supported our Chasseurs and Spahes with the principal part of the infantry, without its haversacks, leaving the rest to guard the baggage and the sacks. Our cavalry advanced beyond Ouchdah, which was on our left. It only found horsemen flying before us in every direction. Several were killed, and we captured a few horses, but we met no infantry. " Perhaps there was some mistake when we thought we saw them, or perhaps they had taken the left, to reach the gardens of Ouchda, and the dust had prevented us from perer ceiving them. The enemy having entirely distiPPearecl in every part of the horizon, I marched my troops back to the camp of the town, where I wag onamtwed this morning at eleven o'clock. -7, This fight has had very little material results, because the whole of the enemy would not stand, and we had only to face their cavalry; but it certainly has given us a very con siderable moral advantage. We have once more proved to the Moors that we do not fear a war with them, and that they are utterly incapable of gaining a serious battle over us. I had several chiefs from the province of Oran in my camp at the time, who had come to visit me on their own accord. They will now return to the interior, and tell with what a degree of sans tacos we treat the Moors, and this must contribute to maintain tranquillity in Algeria. It is much more with a view to Algeria that I shall seize every rightful opportunity to fight, than for the pleasure to beat the Moors.—Receive, &c., &c. First P.S.—I forgot to mention that the enemy's force in to-day's battle amounted to about 4,000 cavalry, of which 3,000 were regular troops.

'ARISH OF SOUTH HACKNEY.—A church-rate was yesterday carried in this parish without a poll beiug de- Al4ndetl. The West Hackney N 119 a.1 follow this POST-OFFICE COMMITTEE. Mr. Duncombe's account ti4iis interview with the House of Commons' Post-offi ce Committee is an entertaining inter lude in the progreauif that business, the interest in m hich has been rather slablrening of late. Mr. Duncombe, it seems, has made si.oliarge with respect to this transaction of letter opening. - He professes himself able to substantiate this charge. He says he can prove that some fifty or sixty of Mazzini's letters have been opened, as well as of Captain Stolzberg's and other individuals, and he 'believes he can prove that some of his own letters • have been opened too. Under these circumstances the Committee send for him, and Big they understand he has a statement to make to them. Duncombe says he has no statement to make but this, and that he is willing to give the Committee the benefit of his information. "Then give us your list of witnesses," he is told; " we will send for them and examine them punctually ; and in the meantime we have no further concern with you, Mr. Duncombe—good morning to you." Now, everybody knows what an examination of witnesses by a Committee is. Just so much is extracted from the witnesses as the Com mittee choose to extract, and no more. The amount gained may vary from everything to nothing, according to the disposition and questioning talent of the members of the Committee. In the present instance, letting alone the disposition, there was not one man on the Committee who - had any knowledge of, or had at all entered into the matter in hand; or who could, therefore, know anything of the proper way of getting at the facts of the case, and the pro per questions to put to the witnesses. Mr. Duncombe was, accordingly, much obliged by the courtesy of the Committee in offering to take the trouble upon themselves, but he had rather examine the witnesses himself. He knew, from his acquaintance with the circumstances, how to get the truth from them, and they did not know. A person at a table d'hofe, who sees a very awkward carver going sedulously to help him to the driest and most unsavoury corner of the whole joint, says, " Thank you, is that for me ? I will not trouble you." Mr. Duncombe had rather help himself to his own evidence, andsarve the joint himself. He had a pre sentiment of the bones, and gristle, and skin that the Com mittee's carving would result in, and thought that he should take more interest, probably, in proving his own charge than the Committee would in doing it for him ; in other words, that he would find himself and his charge left in the' lurch: But the Committee were bland and pressing. " The . Committee pressed him very much to give up his list to them. He had nothing to complain of their de meanour. They were all of them in their manner most in dulgent—(Hear, and a laugh)—indeed, he might term their conduct as almost coaxing.—(Loud laughter.) It was sug gested that he might leave his papers in the hands of some member in whom he had confidence, and who might put all the requisite questions. To this he (Mr. Duncoinbe) had re plied, with perfect candour. and courtesy, that he had equal confidence in all of them.—(Loud laughter.)" Mr. Dun combe has certainly a good deal of prima facie justice on his side. A Committee that takes the substantiation of an ac cuser's charge out of the accuser's hands into its own, has the former's character forthwith in its power, and can, by simply preventing as much as they please of that substantia tion, make his charge empty and himself calumnious. As Mr. Duncombe says—" The Committee was appointed to in vestigate certain charges which he had brought against Go vernment; but it turned round suddenly and converted itself, in fact, into a Committee for trying his (Mr. Dun combe's) veracity." Lord Sandon was willing to allow him to be present, but not to examine, except, indeed, the House made him a regular member of the Committee. Sir Robert Peel, after an eulogium upon his own great indul gence in allowing Mr. Duncombe to bring on his motion at all, which he thought he would have been justified, according to the rules of the House, in objecting to, proceeded to state that he should certainly oppose Mr. Duncombe's bein_g one of the Committee;—" he should certainly advise the House to adhere in this case to the general practice with regard to all Committees of the sort. It was now a question of confi dence in the Committee." Mr. Strutt, a member of the Com mittee, observed upon the difficulty which would be occa sioned by a fresh member coming in, and having to be told all that had gone on before. The motion was after a discus sion put, that Mr. Duncombe should be placed upon the Com mittee, and was negatived. Now, "the rules of the House," and " inconvenience," and other reasons of this sort, may be fair reasons in their way; all we know is, that here a charge is made and the accuser is not allowed to prove it : a Com mittee is appointed for the express purpose of collecting information, and it refiises by one act a whole body of in formation • that is to say, it ref uses th e only .prac tical condition on which that information is to be got, and therefore it refuses to receive that information itself. But, "We asked for the names of the witnesses," said the Chairman of the Committee. Why, certainly you could riot do less. If an accuser declares he has witnesses, a Committee must in decency profess itself ready to admit them. But to ask for the witnesses, and to exclude at the same time an efficient examination of them, is a poor, ambi guous course to take. As Mr. Vernon Smith remarked, a Committee ought to catch at information, and take every means to procure the development of the truth. The bare material of evidence, as everybody who has been in a court of justice knows, is nothing without the power to open and lay it out. What the Committee have done in the present instance has been to express their readiness to admit a quan tity of witnesses corporeally within their Committee-room. 9 What is to be got out of them when they are there they leave to chance. They cannot examine them themselves, and they will not allow the person who can do so. They are willing, however, to have a certain number of individuals sent up and then sent down again. So much for the zeal for information manifested by a House of Commons' Committee. They just save their bacon—they just do not actually refuse evidence, and that is all that can be said.—Times. AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS' WAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, Sin,—ln your capacity of a journalist, perhaps the follow ing statement of the condition of the agricultural labourers in the counties of Hereford, Monmouth, Gloucester, and Ox ford, may not be unacceptable. It would be as well t o g i ve a statement of the present rate o f wages, as in the course of two or three weeks the harvest time will commence, and a different rate of wages will appear ; but such as I shall now state is now, and has been, the rate of wages since the last autumn. I look upon the county of Hereford as one of the finest in England, and it is a boast of the natives that it will produce everything necessary for the wants of man. Now I find, upon strict inquiry at four different parts of this rich and fer tile county, that the labouring man cannot earn more than 7s. per week, with an allowance only of two quarts of cider per day. On my journey to Hereford last October, I asked a farmer (a distant relative of my own) what he considered the labourers were getting on an average. His answer was in the following terms :—" They will tell you here that they are getting 7s. per week, but I will bet any man 1001. that I go into the Hereford market to-morrow ry (Saturday), pre- , 5...4.114tia l cure any quantity o f l a b ourers necessary for working aand f a of 500 acres at ss. per week." At Ragland, in Monmouthshire (one of- the best farmed parishes in the county), I inquired of a firmer whom I have known for many years the rate of wages in the neighbour hood. He said we talk about 7s. a week and an", allowance of eider, but the fact is we can get them at any price, tim e is such a superabundance of labour. In the neighbourhood of Cirencester and Northkach I find that the rate of wages are about the same as those I have mentioned, but in one parish, situated between the above named towns, there are 250 people out of employ. In the neighbourhood of Bicester (Oxon),1 am assured, upon good authority, that wages will not average more than 6s. 6d. per week; and on Tuesday last thirty-five able-bodied labourers marched through the town of Bicester, on their way to the union at Lanton. In Northamptonshire wages are better, but this may be at tributed to a branch of manufacture which runs through the county; but there are an immense quantity of hands unem ployed, and who are suffering great privations. I make no comment upon the above state of things, further than:the re ply of a customer of mine In the town of Thrapstone, who, upon an observation of mine as to the state of the agricultu ral labourers, said, " Sir, th e y are b ro k en-hearted. " A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. ADUTERATION or GUANO.—We have already as serted that guano is often an abominable mixture of all sorts of brown ingredients that are worthless. Here l 4 the ana lysis of some which a near-sighted gentleman purchased lately at 121. a ton. It contained one-half per cent. of am monia, not a trace of urea, minute quantities of alkaline sulphates and phosphates of lime; in short, the largest esti mates that could be made of the real guano present in the sample amounted to three per cent., including feathers, which, however, appeared to have belonged to sparrows and phea sants. On the other hand, there were 50 per cent. of stones and yellow earth. In this case the buyer was near - s i g h te d indeed, for this guano co s t him 'yearly four hundred pounds a ton. These must be famous times for farmers, when manure can be bought at such a price. A quantity of guano sold at Manchester has been found to contain seventy-five per cent. of brickdust ; another sort from Derby shire contained ten per cent, of sawdust and six per cr.snt. of clay ; and another Derbyshire specimen was doctored with ground bark to the extent of twelve per cent. Really. with such facts staring us in the face at every turn of the road, it is most incomprehensible why farmers will not throw themselves into the hands of the chemist, who alone can help them. We are urged to publish the 'names of the people who are swindling the country in tilt's manner. Per haps we may. But that will never abate such enormous evils as we have now described. Farmers must look to them selves, and get their manures analysed before they buy thens 4 or they must purchase under warrranty, as they do with their horses.—Agricultural G aze tt e , ' HUNGERFORD SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—CJIIe of the principal rivet chains has been completely svrung across the Alder the futu re river and secured to its ar c h es , w hi c h will r operations of the workmen light.

T FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR -SQUARE.—The engine -house in the stone-yard at the back of St. George's Barracks, to supply these fountains with water, is advancing in its erection- Iron pipes of eighteen inches diameter, for the conveyance of the water, have been laid down in exca• vatlons under the barracks and National Gallery, and have reached the road in front of the latter. As soon as these are completed the boring for water will commence, which it is expected will have to go to a considerable depth, as was the case with the Artesian well recently sunk in Piccadilly. It LI expected that about three months longer time only will be required before the fountains are in operation. THE SHIPPING INTEREST.—There are, at present 212 vessels (exclusive of steam-packets) entered outward* at the Custom-house for foreign ports.
