The Lords did not sit yesterday. The Commons met at twelve o'clock, and went into Committee on the Turnpike Trusts Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM, on the first clause being proposed, said, it was not the intention of the Government to continue the Turnpike Trusts Committee beyond the 29th of September, 1845. The Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be brought up this day Mr. MACKINNON gave notice that, on the 3Qth of July, he would call the attention of the House to the report of the Committee on the health of towns. A brief discussion took place relative to printing more copies of the report on the Custom House frauds, when Mr. T. DUNCOMBE announced that on the House going into Committee of Ways and Means, the Chancellor of the Exchequer should go a step further and allow the whole evidence to be pub lished. But of what use is evidence taken with closed doors ? If the evidence taken under such cir cumstances is so bad that Mr. GOULBURN is afraid to publish it, what disclosures would have been made if the investigation had been conducted in an open and manly manner ? The Committee, no doubt, is composed of honourable men ; but if they wish the public to give credit to their honour, why should they adopt a course which the public believe is only in tended to screen the guilty, the sleepy Commissioners, and the protegees of Whigs and Tories, who have Tobbed this country to an incalculable amount ? It matters not, however. The 658 copies which are to be printed will spread over every county in the United The Horse. Slaughtering Bill went through Com mittee, and the report was ordered to be received on Friday. On the report of the Poor-law Amendment Bill being brought up, Mr. P. BOBTHWICK moved the in troduction of four clauses, the object of which was to allow husband and wife above sixty years of age to -reside together in the workhouse, and to provide that 4.l3ildren under seven years of age shall not be sepa rated from their mothers. Sir JAMES GRAHAM resisted the amendments, on ;the ground that the law provided paupers above sixty with out-d'Oor relief, and that there was already an order of the Poor-law Commissioners, sanctioned by the Secretary of State, that children under seven years of age should not be separated from their mothers. After considerable discussion the amendments were rejected. The report will be brought up to-day at twelve o'clock. The House having resumed, disposed of the other business on the paper, and adjourned at One o'Clock. Upwards of half a century has now elapsed since • the death of BURNS, and so far is the poet's fame from having been in the slightest degree dimmed by age, that every year it seems to have acquired additional lustre. While the sardonic school of Braos, the chivalrous and picturesque school of SCOTT, the me taphysical school of COLERIDGE and SHELLEY, the milk-and-water school of HATLEY, and the ultra pastoral school of the Cockney THEOCRITUSES ; while all these various schools of poetry have risen, flourished, and in a great degree passed away, BURNS, like those "dead and sceptred sovereigns," of whom MaNritED speaks, still continues to " rule our spirits from his urn." The cause of this potent spell which he exerts alike over our reason and our sensibi lity is obvious enough, and may be ex plained in a few words. He was a profound and impassioned student in the school of Nature. He was not influenced by nice rules and regulations, nor carried away by subtle theories. He had no faith in the pedantic dogmas of scholars and critics, but looked to his own heart as his surest and safest guide, and drew thence his inspiration. In all the poems of BURNS we see how exclusively he consulted his own ardent impulses, and what entire and noble confidence he had in them. Whether frolicking with his strapping " queans" among the barley-rigs; giving utterance to devotional sentiments in his 4‘ Cotter's Saturday Night," or to patriotic sentiments in his " Scots wha hae ;" conjuring up alternately images of ghastly horror, wonder, and broad humour, in his unequalled " Tam O'Shanter ;" or pouring forth touching and mournful ideas in his " Lament for Glencairn "—no matter what the theme on which BURNS expatiates, still we find Nature his sole prompter, and his own manly heart his sole inspira tion. Perhaps of no other poet in the language can it be said with so much truth as of BURNS, that there is net one false, or maudlin, or unhealthy sentiment in his works. We allude here exclusively to his poems, for his prose letters, in the midst of many beauties, contain passages of dreary bombast and tinsel sensibility. But regarded solely as a poet, he stands forward in our literature, the best because the truest intepreter of Nature we have had since the days of SHAKSPEARE. Hence the emotions which he pourtrays find an echo in the hearts of universal humanity ; and it is the surest proof we know of, of a man's healthy condition of intellect, that he is able fully to appreciate the works of BURNS. We have been led to these reflections by the public announce ment in The Sun of this day, of a grand festival " in honour of the genius of the poet," which is to be given " on the Banks of the Doon" on the 6th of August next. At this festival, which will of course be attended by immense numbers of BURNS' admirers, the Earl of EGLINTON will take the chair, and Professor WIL sox—of whom, in his own peculiar walk of intellect, Scotland has quite as much reason to be proud as of BURNS —will officiate as Vice-Chairman. We can imagine the high and pure gratification that will be felt by all who are present at this festival, and the delight and admiration with which they will listen to the copious eloquence of CHRISTOPHER NORTH poured forth by the banks of that stream which BURNS has rendered immortal. It is the first time we believe, since his death, that a public compliment on so magnificent a scale, has been offered to the memory of the author of " Tam o' Shanter,"—that bold, warm-hearted, strong-minded Ayrshire peasant, whose independent spirit poverty could not crush, and whose frank, cordial nature the world's neglect could not chill nor pervert—and we take for granted, therefore, that the festival will be attended by all classes of his countrymen, and that the Scottish peasantry will have their representatives at this national gather ing, as well as the aristocracy and the gentry. The result of the experiment with Captain WAR NER'S destructive invention for extirpating ships (any other phrase would but inadequately express the completeness of its terrible operation) came off on Saturday afternoon last, at Brighton. Of the con duct and value of this experiment our readers will be enabled to form their own conclusions from the ac counts we have published of the transaction. As to the satisfactory nature of this test, we cannot imagine that there can now be much difference of opinions. The certificate or report, signed by Captains Lord INGESTRE, HENDERSON, and DICKINSON (all of the Royal Navy), who had the control and direction of the affair, demonstrates, we think, that there can have been nothing like collusion—no clandestine in troduction of combustible or explosive materials into the hold or stowage of the ship to be experimented on. These gallant officers declare that it was impossible for Captain WARNER to know beforehand when they would give the signal for him to set his invention in motion; that when they did make their signal, it was answered with the one agreed upon, by Captain WARNER, who was at that time in a steamer three hundred yards distant from the John o'Gaunt (the " doomed vessel"). It is also clear that on this re turn signal (the hauling down of the union jack on board the steamer), Captain WARNER commenced immediate preparations for this memorable experi ment. With all perfect respect for that gallant and able officer, we take leave to have our own opinions as to the motives which induced him to send all hands below from the deck of his tug, with the solitary exception of the mate. We are also free to confess that we consider that motive to have been perfectly justifiable, if there be any foundation in fact for the conjecture we are about to hazard as to the tre mendous power actually employed by Captain WAR NER. We do not believe, with some of our Contem poraries, that such an effect at such a distance could have been produced by the discharge of a voltaic or electrical battery, the shock of which must have commu nicated by wires within the strands of a cable stretched from the tug to the John o'Gaunt beneath the surface of the sea. The notion of the line and trigger, we should reject as equally unfounded. The difficulty remains to account for any projectile, sufficient to have caused such instantaneous and absolute destruc tion, having been discharged at so short a distance from the shore, without any flame being visible, or any report being audible from the steam-tug. Taking the report of the naval officers, in conjunction with the accounts given by the reporters for the public press and other eye-witnesses, and with the important averment in the communication of Mr. WALESBY, the barrister, to the Morning Post, to the effect that " Captain WARNER was never once on hoard the John o'Gaunt from the time of her having left Gravesend ten days before the experiment came off;" we are in clined to dismiss all suspicions of pre -arrangement or technical preparation on board the craft itself, for the purpose of this experiment. We look, therefore, at a few of the facts Which immediately preceded the phenomena of annihilation. 'We find that a little be fore 6 r.m., the towing tug-steamer, having Captain WARNER on board, on her passage from Shoreham, suddenly put about, and for a few seconds hove to close to the John o'Gaunt. Then she resumed her former situation, and brought up between one and two miles off the shore, almost opposite the Old Ship Tavern, but in such a position as to present, it would seem, her broadside to the tug, which took up her station at about three hundred yards' distance. One account says—" The moment after Captain WARNER had answered the signal from the battery"—another " with a lapse of exactly five minutes after that action," the various heralds of the lightning-like de struction which had enveloped the John o'Gaunt were perceived from the shore. Now, it strikes us, that the sudden return of the tug (the Sir William Wallace) to almost alongside of the craft, was perfectly compatible with a desire, on the part of Captain WARNER, to take a last glance at her hull, or her sheer, with a view to detect the most advantageous position for striking her; and that her being brought up in so favourable a position to be hit from the Sir William Wallace, 'was in furtherance of this design. But what, if any, were the projectiles employed which could thus rend, break up, scatter to the winds of heaven, and remove almost every frag ment and vestige of a strong-built and powerful ship, with all her rigging and masts, upwards of more than ' 300 tons burthen ? And how happened it that the explosion was heard anterior to the low, booming, submarine dull murmur that arose from the destroyed craft herself? The absence of any flash—the absence THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY _EVENING, JULY 2B, 1641. of any sound from the steamer—these are two pheno mena which it seems to us difficult to account for, ex cept on one hypothesis; namely, that the projectile was a condensed or concentrated preparation of ar gentum fulminans, or even of fulminating gold ; the explosion of which, by concussion with any solid sub stance, is known to be followed by all the tremen dous effects that arise from the expansive energy of the electric fluid. This hypothesis is not the less probable when considered in connection with recent experiments on some of the larger shells of the same gentleman's invention, at Woolwich Warren. If we suppose the machine of projection to have been an air gun of capacity or calibre sufficient for so small a ball or shell as would suffice, fraught with this terri ble material, for such a work of extirpation, we shall perhaps be not very far from an approximation to the solution of this curious enigma. Then, again, the appearances described as accompanying the annihila tion of the ship; the column of water forced upwards and forwards through her hull and decks ; the pro jection of part of her masts and spars into the air ; the tenuity of the white smoke that suddenly enve loped and as suddenly dispersed from the wreck; the extraordinary area of the explosion, tearing away her bulwarks fore and aft, and breaching her solid ribs, snapping off mizen and mainmast, and leaving the hull so dismantled and dissevered that she filled in two minutes and went down head over, with only her foremast standing ;—these are, all of them, compatible with the employment of the most tremendous natural agent which scientific chemistry has yet subjected to her astonishing empire and irresistible control, and, we are almost tempted to add, with no other known force, under parallel circumstances. In. any case, the experiment reflects great honour on the sagacity and skill of Captain WARNER, the spirit of Mr SOME', the shipowner, who supplied the ship, and the libe rality of the other gallant friends who provided the means for testing this marvellous invention. The Government ought not to lose a day, unnecessarily, in satisfying themselves, one way or the other, as to the merits and feasibility of the plan ; and if satisfied on these points, they will be greatly wanting in their duty to the country if they do not instantly secure for it the unfettered benefit and advantage, on almost any terms, of so effective and tremendous an inven tion, provided they be satisfied that the elements of its construction and application can be kept a secret, patent only to such high State authorities as the Le gislature may think fit to nominate for its inviolable depository. Madrid journals of the 17th have been received Great preparations are in progress for the general election. The Globo states that a grand electoral meeting of the partisans of the Government had just been held, at which a Central Committee of thirty-one was ap pointed. Among their names are those of M.M. DE SOMORUELOS, GARELI, ISTURIZ, LARAGOSAL, BRAVO MURILLO, CASA IRUJO, SALAMANCA, CARRIGUIRI, CASTRO Y OROSCO, TASARA, PENOFIELD, SABATER, BURGOS, FONTAOS, JUAN SAN MIGUEL, LOPEZ, BALESTERO, &C. The Progressistas were equally active, and have de termined t-) contest the principal cities, among others Madrid, Cadiz, Saragossa, Barcelona, Corunna, Malaga, Seville, Burgos, Valladolid, Cuenca, and Carthagena. Accounts had been received from Havannah of fresh disturbances at Matazens. In one of the letters it is absurdly stated that Mr TURNBULL appeared to be the instigator of those conspiracies, and that he had reserved for himself the situation of chief of the black republic. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents were quoted at 26-a, at sixty days; and the Fives at 20i, for cash. A report prevailed at Paris on Tuesday that the Government had received accounts of the bombard ment of Algiers, and that fresh troops had been or dered for the coast of Morocco. Towards the even ing, however, it was ascertained that no intelligence of the kind had reached the French Government. According to the latest accounts from Morocco, the British Consul was still with the EMPEROR, and was using his influence for an amicable arrangement of the differences between the two countries. We find the following article in the Courrier Francais, the first part of which we believe to be perfectly true, and the other a tissue of wicked falsehoods : " The letters'of our correspondent at Gibraltar announce to us a pretty sharp disappointment occasioned to the Go vernor, Sir R. Wilson, by dispatches brought by a courier, who came from Madrid to Gibraltar in 45 hours, a thing never before accomplished. These dispatches, sent by the English Ambassador in Spain, are relative to the affairs of Morocco, and our correspondent, who is perfectly well placed to receive good intelligence, assures us that they enjoin Sir R. Wilson to use all his influence to determine the Emperor Abderrhaman to subscribe to such conditions as shall be de manded by the French Government. No person at Gibraltar for a moment doubts that Sir Robert Wilson has been the instigator of the foolish manifestations of Morocco against France. It is to him that belongs the honour of having raised this grave question, for Abd-el-Kader would not have suf ficed. In the space of two months he has on four occasions quitted the seat of his government to repair to various points of the Moorish territory—Tetuan, Malilia, Tangiers, and El- Araich. He had caused himself to be openly accompanied in these excursions by the Consul of Morocco and the principal Moorish merchants established at Gibraltar. Everywhere he set himself up as the protector of the. Emperor and the enemy of France. He lavished his British shakes- of-the hand on the Arabs, and cordially sympathised with their audacity and their hopes. It was in English that the first preaching up of the holy war against the Christians of France began in Morocco." This journal adds, that the conduct of Sir ROBERT WILSON in this affair is in conformity with all his previous proceedings, and then goes into a long his tory of his political and military life, every act of which is represented as being characterised by hosti lity to France. According to the Prem., the French Consul at Mogadore w as lately obliged, in consequence of the public excitement, to remain a whole week shut up in his house, without daring to venture out. A body of 15,000 Kabyles entered the place, and went to inscribe their names with the Kaid as being ready to defend the town in case of its being attacked. They wished immediately to take possession of the town, and in that case the Europeans would have been all lost. The Kaid, however, had sufficient address and influence to induce them to withdraw, on his promise to call upon them at the first moment of danger. The French Funds fell considerably on Tuesday, owing partly to the reports respecting Tangiers and to extensive purchases by a large capitalist. The Three per Cents. closed at 81f. 70c., and the Fives at 121 f. 70c. The following are additional extract 3 from the papers : The principal merchants and traders of the city of Paris met on Monday in one of the halls of the Tribunal of Com merce, to arrange the preliminaries for the annual election of judges. The Prefect of the Seine, having taken the chair, addressed the meeting in a long and able speech on the busi ness of the tribunal, and on the general state of the com merce of Paris. The number of causes decided by the Tri bunal, said the Prefect, from the Ist July, 1843, to the same date in 1844, was 43,104. The number of failures within the jurisprudence of the tribunal was 630 within the same period. The Prefect then noticed, in terms of warm encomium, the efforts made by the manufacturers of the department of the Seine to enrich the Exhibition of National Industry with He of a nature to ex• cite public admiration. He went so far as to say that Paris is to be regarded as the first manufacturing town in the world; for if, said he London finds in its port and its position a commercial superiority, Paris, by the variety of its products, their amount of value, and the importance of the exports to the whole of Europe, and, indeed, the whole of the world, may claim the first rank.' The Prefect took occasion, when alluding to the national exhibition, to correct a very exaggerat e d s t a t emen t as t o th e num ber of strangers who were attracted by it to Paris. Several of the Parisjour nals had given the number of visitors at 300,000. The Pre fect declared, from the police returns, that the number had not at any time exceeded 70,000, and that the average num ber of visitors is 40,000. In the course of his speech the Pre fect gave an account of the finances of the city of Paris. He stated that there had been a considerable falling off from the revenue of the octroi duty. The speech concluded with an enumeration of the many improvements and embellishments of the city, effected by the municipality, and, as the head of it, the Prefect took a just pride in pointing out these changes to the public." The Observateur de Trieste gives intelligence from Greece, to July 6. The elections were to commence next day at Athens. The Trieste paper states that the Duchess DE PLAISANCE was spending large sums of money, in order to have Opposition Members elected. It is supposed that the Ministry will have some difficulty in securing a majority in the Chambers. Fresh troubles were spoken of in Acarnania, hut no details are given. A letter from Rome, July 11, in the Augsburg Gazette, says : " The conduct of Lord Seaton, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, as well as of the military commander, Major Frazer, during the expedition of the Italian refugees, hastal anGovernment given rise to and h numerous t e C c o o u T o funisct. atio j n a s me b s e ,s t , w i e t en hei t n h g e I T stip hs po gi s s e a d te t r h di at sco th n e t y ent m i i s g f h e t lt h h a e v re e a p t r e w v h e a n t t h e d a s t p h a s e s b e t a i u s o n e . the Cabinet of London had solicited the intervention of the Pope, to calm the agitation of men's minds in Ireland.

The general appearance of the Cotton market at Liverpool was the same. Prices were firm, but the article was very freely offered. The sales were 6,000 bales, of which 300 American were for exportation. The sales included 150 Egyptian, at 64d to 7d, and 500 Surat, at 3d to 34d per lb. The rest was American, at 33d to 64d per good demand was expe rienced for Shares in all the leading lines, and a large busi ness was done.

An attempt is being made to induce parties in the City to invest capital for the completion of the Illinois Canal ; the inducement being, that if this work is accomplished the interest upon the capital already advanced, and to be sub scribed, will be regularly paid. No question, it may be a good scheme on the part of those who have already advanced cash upon the security of American bonds and shares, especially the creditors of Illinois to get others into the boat with them. But the Yankees are not a set of people to let a good thing pass out of their hands, and if the canal will pay such splendid profits as are anticipated, the contractors would be the last people in the world to give others an advantage. There are plenty of bona fide public works in this country, secure against the chances of repudiation, to which those having money at disposal, might direct attention, without placing it in jeopardy, simply be cause 1 or 2 per cent. is now offered by Americans or others for it. There are accounts from Buenes Ayres this morning, but there is no intelligence worth notice, either in the letters or papers. A slight re-action has occurred in the quotations of the British Securities to-day, a large speculative operation hav ing been commenced for a re-action in prices. While, how ever, money is so abundant as it is at the present moment, all such attempts must fail. The case would be very different if Stock was plentiful. On the con trary, it is as scarce as ever, if, indeed, it be not more scarce than ever before remembered. Consols for Money have varied from 99a to 99/; and for the Account from 99a to 994. These quotations show that Money Stock has a preference as to price, over Time bargains. A good deal of business has been done in the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Exchequer Bills have advanced to 80s. premium. The Commissioners bought 10,0001. Consols at 99/. Buenos Ayres Bonds have improved to 37. Brazilian Bonds have been flat, at 83/ ; and Mexican at 36*. The high price of 20 per cent, above par has been paid for Russian Bonds—the Five per Cents. In other Bonds there was no business done this morning. The advanced prices of yesterday of Railway Shares has scarcely been maintained this morning, the Great Western and one or two others excepted. In other Shares the busi ness done has been trifling.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. THE CONVICT DALMAS. Mr. MART gave notice that be should to-morrow put a question to the Secretary of State for the Hume Department, with respect to the convict Palmas. POOR-LA W S. Sir J. GRAHAM then moved the further considera. tion of the Poor-law Amendment Bill. Mr. S. O'BRIEN postponed the following clause, of which he had given notice :—" Provided always, and be it further enacted, that whenever it shall appear to the board of any district school that the space within such school is more than sufficient for the accommodation of poor children within the district for which such school shall have been built, it shall and may be lawful for such board, subject to the approval of the Poor-law Commis sioners, to make order for the admission of so many other children residing in the said district as shall seem expedient to such board ; and the weekly provision for the maintenance , and education of such children shall be fixed by the board at such rate as shall in their judg ment be amply sufficient to cover every expense on ac count of such children." Sir C. NAPIER then moved the following clauses : And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for the guardians of the poor to give a higher rate of out-door relief than that now given, at their discretion, to aged people above sixty years of age, who have paid their poor rates.—And be it enacted, that in the event of a married couple, or a single man or woman, possessing a cottage under the value of 51. annual value, and having paid their poor rates, and being no longer able to work, they be eligible for out-door relief at the discretion of the guardians." Sir JAMES GRAHAM admitted that nothing could be more praiseworthy or generous than the objeot of the Gallant Officer; but he did not think that the object he had in view would be gained by the House adopting these clauses. He decidedly objected to the first clause as it was entirely superfluous, and as to the second clause, the law as it at present stood enabled guardians to give out-door relief to persons above 60 years of age. Mr. B. YORKE said that if his Gallant Friend went to a division upon the clauses he should have his sup port, but he thought he would exercise a wise and sound discretion in withdrawing the clauses. Mr. R. SPOONER thought some steps ought to be taken to inform guardians of the state of the law. If the Gallant Officer pressed the clauses he should give his support to the second, but he could not adopt the first. Lord ASHLEY would support the second clause if it was pressed by his Gallant Friend. Sir CHARLES NAPIER would withdraw the first clause, but felt compelled to divide the House upon the second. Mr. DENISON said, if the House adopted the second clause, it ought to be carefully guarded. Sir J. GRAHAM said that it was no answer to a per son who was destitute and who applied for relief, for the guardians to say that he had a cottage under the value of 5/. He would go further and say, that should death ensue, the officer who had refused the relief would be criminally responsible. Destitution was the cause for relief, whatever it might arise from. Mr. WODEHOUSE would support the clause. He was happy to see the spirit with which the Right Hon. Baronet was determined to carry out this measure, and he would advise him to ride the Poor-law Commissionci with a curb instead of a snaffle, for, if he did so, he would get the thanks of the country. Captain PECHELL trusted the Gallant Commodore would press this clause to a division. Mr. B. ESCOTT had as much objection to the second as to the first clause. After a short discussion, the House divided, when there appeared— For the clause 2B Against it 42 Majority against the clause —l4 The clause was consequently lost. Col. SIBTHORP then moved the following' clauses : —Be it enacted, that, from and after the 31st day of March, 1845, the Commission appointed by an Act of ,4 and 5 Wm. 4, c. 76, i n tit u l e d, " an Act for the amend ment and better administration of the laws relating to the poor in England and Wales," shall cease and be abolished, and the several unions and union workhouses that have been created or established for the mainten ance of the poor, under the aforesaid or any other Acts relating to the relief of the poor in England and Wales, shall be exclusively and solely under the management, power, and control of the several boards of guardians, constituted and appointed for the management of each separate union or union workhouse, without any inter ference, power, or control:of the aforesaid board of Com missioners. And be it also enacted, that at the period aforesaid, if any dispute, complaint, or other matter re lating to the management of any union or union work house shall arise, the'saine shall be referred to and be taken cognisance of by the justices of the peace as sembled at the next petty sessions within the district in which such union or union workhouse is or shall be situate, and it shall be lawful to appeal from the deci sion of such justices to the justices of peace assembled at the next general or quarter sessions of the peace for the place or county, or division of county, in which such union or union workhouse is or may be situate, and there finally adjudicated upon. Notwithstanding the law had been in operation for ten years they still were ignorant of what the law really was—guardians, magis trates, and overseers, were all in a mist, and the Com missioners were in a greater mist than any of them. He protested against this system of centralisation, and •• 390 .. 390 .. 242 50 .. 245 •• 987 50 .• 990 •• 761 25 .. 760 •• 986 25 .. 985 .. 761 25 .. 985 Strasburg to Bale .• •• •• • • •• 241 25 .. 241 25... 240 .. 240 Avignon to Marseilles— •••• 766 25 .. 766 25 . 766 25 .. 766 25 RAILWAY SHARES FOR THE ACCOUNT, 31er OF JULY.

CLERKENWELL-(THIS DAY.) James Grainger, John Donovan, and James Tisdale, were charged as follows : Police-constable 124 E swore he saw the prisoners fighting in Little Coram-street. He cautioned them to desist, but they became more violent. He attempted to arrest them, but the three prisoners fell upon him and struck him on the face so that his nose bled violently. They kicked him on the legs and body so as to cause him great pain. He called police-constable 28to his assistance. E Police-constable 28 E deposed that when he attempted to assist his brother officer, Tisdale threw him on the pavement, and his back was much hurt in consequence. The uniform of 124 E was much torn and soiled. The prisoners are idle, disorderly fellows, who are well known to the police. Sergeant Lester said a memorial had been recently pre sented to the Commissioners of Police from the inhabitants of Little Corarn-street, complaining of the annoyance occa sioned by the prisoners and their gang. They were fined ss. each, or five days' imprisonment. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) John Kilpatrick was charged before ➢lr. Traill with exces sive cruelty to a dog. It appeared that the defendant was observed leading a small spaniel along the street with a string round its neck.: The animal seemed tired and heated, when the defendant dragged it along by the neck, and he was seen to lift it up and dash it with violence on the pavement. Several persons who witnessed the brutal conduct of the de fendant cried " shame,". but he treated their remonstrances with ridicule, until at length a policeman on being apprised of the facts, applied and obtained a summons against the aggressor. The defendant, who denied that he acted with such cruelty, was fined 2.05., which he refused to pay, and was locked up. A man named Brown was charged with an indecent as sault on a young female named Hill, residing with her parents at Walworth. The prisoner took advantage of the absence of the com plainant's parents and treated her in a most shameful manlier. She complained of the conduct she experienced to her mother, who procured a warrant against the assailant. The defendant contradicted the complainant's statements, but the Magistrate said that he was satisfied with the truth of her evidence and immediately inflicted a fine of Si. on the defendant, and in default of payment committed him for two months.

SAILING DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE GUANO ISLAND OF ICHABOE, SOUTH AFRICA. Extract of a letter from Angra Pequena Bay. "The westernmost point on the south side of Angra Pe quena Bay is in lat. 25 deg. 39 min. south, and lon. 15 deg. 7 min. 30 s ec . east, one league north of which is Ichaboe Island, the latitude of which by lunar observation, recently taken, is 26 deg. 24 min. 15 sec. south, and lon. 14 deg. 46 min. 45 sec., variation of the needle 26 deg. west ; rise and fall of the water around the island from sto 6 feet. This is the place of loading. The island is only one mile in circum ference, and twelve from the shore, on the east side of which vessels can lie all the year round in perfect safety and smooth water, riding in five fathoms water. " The safety and convenience of this harbour are owing to the following circumstances:— " A point of land f rom th e c ontinent extends from 3 to 4 milesinto the sea, to the south of the island ; and from the extremity of this point a reef puts off in a north-westerly direction, until it nearly meets a reef that projects from the west side of the island. Another reef puts off from the north east part of the island, consequently a bay is formed in which a ship may li e t h e year roun d i n sa fety and smooth water; but in entering this harbour or anchorage care should always be taken to pass round the north end of the island, giving its north-east point a berth of about half a mile which will avoid all danger. In working into the harbour, the shore on the main may be approached within two cables length. • The wind generally is from the north. The current sets in a northerly direction, about three quarters of a mile per hour. Vessels may load at Penguin Island, which is at the head of Angra Pequena Bay, but Ichaboe Island is preferable, on ac count of the safety of the harbour?' Extract of a letter received at Lloyds, dated Ichaboe, May 16. " I wrote some time ago about the nature of the an ch orage , so that I hav e on l y to add that the more I see of the place goes to a confirmation of its being anything but a safe har bour, for many ships have lost anchors and cables and some half anchors, and is a truly destructive place for boats." LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.—A work is, we under stand, in preparation, to be called " The Calumniator's Guide ; or, Every Man his own Apologist." It will contain copious directions for backin out of slanderous assertions, and will be dedicated to Mr . Wodehoufit—Punch. against handing over the management of the poor to persons who could possess no local knowle dge. It was an insult to the magistrates of every county to suffer them to be interfered with as incompetent by these Commissioners. These Conhnissit mers were now to act as schoolmasters, end to intrfi,re with clergymen in the management of their parishes. Per haps, in the present days of the march of intellect, the knowledge of the clergyman might not be thought suffi cient, and they might think it necessary to send down an Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, to teach the pau pers the Polka.—(Laughter.) He wanted to know where this centralisation was to end. It set a poor man against his natural protector, and led to attacks upon property. His advice was to send the Commissioners out to grass altogether—shoes off—harness off—let them be turned up, be paid off, and got rid of altogether. He could not see why they could not gradually go back to the old system as they had gradually departed from it. If they would do away with the whole of the Assistant-Commissioners at once, he would consent to their retaining the three Commissioners for a year longer, for he did wish to do the thing in a liberal way. Sir J. GRAHAM said this question had, on more than one occasion, come under the consideration of the House during the present session. A great deal had been said of the expense of the Commissioners. The number of Assistant-Commissioners had been reduced, nearly one-half. The expenses of the Commission was, it was said, 50,0001. a-year, and he should be glad to know how 50,0001. a , •year could be expended more eco nomically than in effecting a saving of two millions an nually. The House had invariably testified their confi dence in the Commissioners by enlarging their discre tionary powers whenever the question was brought before the House, and that had been done by the present mea sure. The carrying the motion of the Hun. and Gallant Member would be equivalent to doing away entirely with the present system of poor-laws. He partly agreed with the Hon. Member for Lincoln that when the Com mission was first appointed, too much had been written by them, and much of it had been written in a party spirit. Since he had been in office that error had been corrected ; he had had no necessity to exert any influ ence to bring about this eff ec t, as th e C omm i ss i oners themselves had anticipated every wish on the subject. When they were first appointed their position was a new one, and allowances ought to be made for it. The Com missioners possessed his entire confidence, and, as he believed, the confidence of Parliament, and he trusted the House would not agree to the motion of his Hon. and Gallant Friend. Mr. BERNAL hoped his Hon. and Gallant Friend would not press his motion. Col. SIBTHORP certainly would. Mr. BERNAL was sorry to hear such an announce ment. He believed the state of the law was little under stood in the country, more especially as regarded the power of guardians to administer out-door relief. Now, that ought to be rectified, and the guardians fully in structed on the point. A clear, brief statement of the law, should be drawn up and circulated among boards of of guardians throughout the country. This ignorance caused the law to be unpopular, and took away all con fidence in the decisions of the boards of guardians, or of the tribunal of Somerset House. Mr. R. SPOONER supported the motion. He thought the object to be gained by the motion was a very de sirable one, and that any difficulties which might arise ought to be met, in order to gain it. The Right Hon. Gentleman said the Commissioners possessed the confi dence of Parliament; but could he say they possessed the confidence of the people ?—(Hear, hear.) He had always objected to the delegation of such extraordinary powers to this extraordinary Commission, and, therefore, he supported the motion. The Commis sioners had introduced the workhouse test— the very worst test that could be applied ; and he had the authority of William Pitt for saying that all the difficulties with which the question of poor-law relief was encumbered arose from the departure from the provisions of the Act of Elizabeth. He called upon them to return to the old constitutional provision of that law. The spirit of the law was that every man who was able to work, and will ing to work, should have work supplied to him. Now, the poor man cut of work was called upon to break up his - cottage, - ,sep - arkte himself from his wife, come into the• workhouse, and become a pauper for life. The instructions of the Commissioners had been framed with a covert design to go beyond the law, and that was the reason of the ignorance existing on the subject of the law. He hoped that the Right Hon. Baronet would adopt the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Weymouth, and cause a short and clear account of the law to be drawn up and circulated throughout the country. He had always had a great feeling against the continuance of the Commission; and the statement of the Right Hon. Baronet that they had power to interfere with Local Acts, made him the more anxious to prevent their continuance. He said this at the risk of being charged with Radicalism. If there was any mistake it was on the part of those who imagined that because he was anxious to prevent interference with the Local Act of Birmingham he was therefore a Reformer. He begged pardon for having trespassed so long on the at tention of the House, but he had felt it his duty to take the earliest opportunity of stating his views on this sub ject. [LEFT SITTING.'

ACCIDENT TO THE EARL OF MORNINGTON.---We are sorry to find that the venerable Earl of Mornington met with an accident yesterday, at his residence at Twickenham. His Lordship missed his footing in descending a stone staircase. and rolled to the bottom, where he was taken up severely bruised, but happily no bones were broken, and it is hoped that his Lordship has suffered no internal injury. The vene rable Earl is now in the eighty-second year of his age, and his frame has been somewhat shaken by this unfortunate ac-, cident. His Lordship's numerous friends will, however, be happy to learn that the results of this misfortune are not likely to be so serious as might have been anticipat e d. THE WEATHER AND CROPS IN TILE NORTH.— During the last fortnight, in the counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland there was rain almost every day and night, but the last few days have proved unusually hot and clear. On Monday and Tuesday the thermometer was up as high as 76 degrees in the shade. The crops of grain have made won derful progress, so much so indeed, that some odd fields of barley are already assuming a golden hue, and are of the best quality. Wheat and oats also look remarkably well and flourishing. The hay harvest is now at its height in the above counties. SUMMAI'Y OF NEWS 4.. ;!, G iittbitr Opc2tton.
