Lord JOHN RUSSELL followed on the other side. After long speeches by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. SBEIL, Mr. WARD replied, and the House divided, when Ministers bad a majority of 95, the numbers being 179 for the motion, and 274 against it. The House then adjourned at Half-past One o'Clock. Some of our Contemporaries have published a very long and lachrymose circular letter from his Holiness the POPE, to all patriarchs, primates, archbishops, and bishops, imploring each and every of his "venerable brethren" to aid in the good work of putting down— Bible Societies. These Societies the Holy Father anathematises as among the most successful, and therefore dangerous, of the " many attempts which the enemies of Catholicism, under whatever denomi nation, are daily making, in our age, to seduce the really faithful," &c. His' Holiness reminds his bre thren that the Societies in question were "originally instituted in England, and have since been propagated throughout the universe." Since Sir ROBERT PEEL'S solemn exorcism of the Birmingham and London currency, heretics, who are for having the circulation of money unrestrained by a gold standard of value at an irrevocably fixed price per ounce—much in the same way as our Low Churchmen and Dissenters are for having the circulation of the Bible unfettered by the arbitrary restraints of texts and comment—we have witnessed no manifestation of alarm so whimsi cal or so earnest as that which pervades this pastoral letter. Had it been less satisfactorily authenticated, we 'should have really imagined that it must have been originally addressed to the famous author of the Puseyite tract, on the " concealment of doctrine" in certain cases ; for it advocates the identical principles contended for by the Tractarians, in treating of the danger of putting the Sacred Scriptures indiscrimi nately into the hands of the laity. In short this pon tifical circular is a bull of excommunication fulmi nated against all Exeter Hall, and " the Society's house in Earl-street, Blackfriars ;" a voice .of woe and wailing raised against the dissemination of the Bible. We cannot imagine a more emphatic or honourable testimony to the objects and thmesults of their dis interested efforts who have devoted their energies, their time, and their means, to the gratuitous commu- . nication of the original law of GOD, and of the glorious precepts and maxims of Christianity to the once be nighted nations of the world ; whose races—without this sacred code of religious instruction, and moral and social duty,—even the:civilising influence of our own communication and intercourse would not have sufficed to raise from the depths of abject superstition and debasement, to the contemplation and the worship of the true GOD. If, in these sacred Scriptures, there were not smue pervading, self-illustrating principle of truth ; sofne elementary self-proving ethics,—which taught and accurately defined and distinguished between our re lative duties towards the DEITY and towards our fel low-creatures ; the ancient spirit of ecclesiastical en- croachment, of hierarchical despotism would surely. not be quite so sensitive, nor betray so much of irritability in reference to a system that merely supplies the text of that law, to which, even the tyrannic jurisdiction that has been superinduced upon it by fraudulent pretensions and subtle glosses, and fabricated testimonials, professes to be subject. When a spiritual leader like the present POPE —a man, to the simplicity and benevolence of whose personal character European travellers of all coun tries and persuasions have paid the tribute of re spect and regard—is betrayed into such vehement terms as he employs against the venders of unmuti lated and uninterpreted Bibles and Testaments, as those which are scattered through this circular, we may well imagine that there are some latent reasons for his anger besides those which appear on the face of his documentary reprobation. Thus, his Holiness twits the Bible Societies with being obnoxious to the complaints formerly made by Saint JEROME, against intermeddling and un qualified teachers of the Word, in the primitive ages of the Church:—" They pretend to popularise the holy pages, and render them intelligible without the aid of any interpreter, to persons of every condi tion—to the most loquacious woman, to the light-. headed old Man', and to the wordy caviller." The PorE then cites the language of Saint PETER, in re ference to the Epistles of Saint PAUL, and the advice of the former, the " Prince of the Apostles," to the Church of his day, to beware lest " they be led away by the error of the wicked, and so fall from their own steadfastness."—(2 Peter, c. v. 16.) He takes credit to the Church of Rome, that it has, in all ages, been careful to provide for the exposition of the Scrip tures to the people, by duly qualified and authorised teachers ; and he appeals to the constitutions of the Councils of Trent, Lateran (the fourth in 1215), and Rome (in 1725, under BENEDICT XIII.) But really, the excerpta collected by , his Holiness, out of the Acts of these Councils, do not appear to us much to have assisted his case. Thus : " In the first place, it is known that, by the decrees of the Holy Council of Trent, bishops are enjoined to sea that the Holy Scriptures and divine laws be more fre quently ' taught in their dioceses." We are 'at liberty, then, to infer that either the Church, at this period, had not provided sufficient means for the frequent teaching of the Holy Scrip tures to the people, or that, if provided, those means had fallen into neglect, so long ago as the beginning of the, sixteenth century. And yet those means, whatever they were—and that teaching, whatever its. degree of efficiency—were improvements, ex tensions, upon the means and the teaching that had previously existed. For (he adds)— " It, is known that, even exceeding the prescriptions of the Council of Lateran (1215), the Council of Trent re commends that there should be in the several cathedral churches and collegiates of the towns and cantons a sti pend provided for a doctor of divinity, and that none should be appointed to that office but a man fully com petent to teach and expound the Holy Scriptures." Now, the amount of Scriptural instruction, and the provision of means to dispense it, thus exceeding the prescriptions of the Lateran Council, still seem to have been miserably inadequate for their avowed objects. No wonder that, as the letter proceeds, the indigna tion of the PorE, waxes still hotter and fiercer, but most especially against a certain new Christian League now forming in the United States, which is thus adverted to :7- , 4 Many precise advices and documenbi teach us that a vast number of sects in New York, in America, at one of their meetings held on the 4th of June, last year, have formed a new Association, which will take the name of the. Christian. League, (fcederis Christiani), a league composed of individuals of every nation, and which is to be further increased in numbers by other auxiliary Societies, all having the same object, viz., to propagate amongst Italians, and especially Romans, the principles of Christian liberty, or rather an insane in difference to all religion." This passage speaks for itself. How melancholy must be the conviction of inherent moral religious weakness which is thus appalled at the notion of its pretensions being tested by " principles of Christian liberty," and which attempts to disparage the force and authority of those principles by affecting to treat them as amounting to an " insane indifference to all religion !" 'What an invaluable text-book must this production be to the Oxford emulators of this Sove reign Pontiff! Mr. WARD brought forward the question of the Protestant Church Temporalities of Ireland on Tues day night in the House of Commons. The Hon. Mem ber's speech on the occasion was temperate, and even conciliatory, in its tone ; sound and forcible in argu ment, and full of useful statistical facts. The follow ing passage produced a decided effect on the House— and no wonder, for it is an apt and cogent comment on the zeal and efficiency of some of the Protestant Church dignitaries, whom Irishmen are told to re gard with th e reverence d ue to their sacerdotal func tions :—" He had a placard sent him the other day,'' observed th e Hon. Member for Sheffield, " the genuineness of which could not be doubted. It was the announcement of a sale of the property of the late fortyAch d rn of thorough-bred 11 ehand among h , orse s rn a o n n d g the ma effectsmares, fr h m e found three to seven years old, and also theirjustlyandceSleir brated and well-known sir os , Sir Edward Hugh. All these were the genuine effects of the Venerable Archdeacon of Meath. I3esides the thorough-bred horses, there were thirteen capital working horses, and five. Spanish donkeys, three of them in foal. Besides all these, he had the an nouncemement of a sale of dogs in Dublin. There were thirty couples of beagles, the handsomest, and of the best blood in Ireland ; and there were thirteen pairs of greyhounds, well known in Meath." All these— dogs, horses, and donkeys—were the property of the apostolical Archdeacon of Meath—a distinguished inteLber of that Irish Eccle•;iaAL-al it . • r 4,. , • 4 ". A c ompri• = At .ttagEmic ' • • N, /Rand t (*Ant4 LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 13,1544. The Lords did not sit yesterday. In the Commons, Mr. MILNER GIBSON made some statements relative to the incendiary fires in Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, showing that they were of the most alarming description, and that if he were to give a lengthened detail of these calamities, they would astonish the House. He believed, in general, the labourers were well-disposed. He wished to know whether the subject had occupied the attention of her MAJESTY'S Government ? Sir JAMES GRAHAM concurred with the lion. Member in thinking that the labourers in general were well-disposed, but a few individuals, frum cer tain motives of revenge, might cause much mischief. Many fires might be the work of one incendiary. The painful subject had occupied the serious attention of the Government, and every effort had been made to detect the perpetrators of such frightful crimes. In answer to a question from Mr. E. BULLER, Sir J AMES GRAHAM said he had every reason to believe the writ of error relative to the Irish state trials would arrive in London at the latest in twenty-four hours. So far as the Government were concerned, every meats would be adopted to expedite the hearing of the writ, and little doubt existed that the question would be decided before the Judges went on the summer cir cuits, that is within a few days. Colonel RAWDON resumed the adjourned debate on Mr. WARD'S motion, relative to the Irish Church He paid a high compliment to Mr. WAR]) for the persevering spirit in which he had prosecuted this hn portant question, and described the principles on which he acted as purely conservative. He concluded a speech containing many sentiments entitled to the consideration of all parties, by stating that he trusted the House would act in accordance with the dictates of justice and Common sense. Sir JonN WALsit opposed the motion, but at the same time trusted a provision would be made for the Irish clergy, which, he thought, would tend to tran quillise the country. Mr. M. O'CONNELL said the time was, when the Irish clergy would gladly have accepted such a pro vision a s th a t proposed by Sir J. IVALsif, but the time was gone by. Their attempts to pr o p up th e R u st; blishe.d.Church in Ir e l an d , were only sapping an d mining it, and ere lung it must tumble to pieces. • After very brief speeches from Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. DILLON BROWNE, arid Mr. VERNON JA SMITH, Sir ?4E3 GRALIAI.I addrQ:;e4 the HQuse in opposition to which Sir R. INGus deems it the worst sacrilege to I think of reforming, and which those two other bright Baronets, Sir J. GRAHAM and Sir R. PEEL, are proud to take under the shelter of their wings ! And while the Irish Protestant dignitaries, with little or no active duty to fulfil, thus revel in luxury, what is the situa tion of the Catholic priesthood ? They are scantily paid, hard-worked, and constantly sneered at as bigots and ignoramuses by the rival Churchmen ! Can we wonder that Ireland is never otherwise than in a state Of exacerbation;when she finds a broad line of distinc• tion thus marked between the two antagonist esta blishments—the one lavishly paid fur doing little or nothing—a task which it accomplishes with singular diligence—having few or no feelings in common with the vast mass of the population over whom it pre sumes to exercise authority, yet nevertheless protected by Government, as though the value of its public services were inestimable ; the other poorly remune rated for incessant labour ; in full possession of the confidence and affections of the majority of the Irish people, acting as their guide, guardian, and friend in all cases of emergency; yet notwithstanding this, treated with frigid neglect by Government, and with downright insult by their Tory adherents ? Can we wonder, we repeat, that Ireland is exasperated, when she sees the galling and invidious distinction made between the Church which she distrusts and dislikes, and that which she loves and cherishes ? In England the Protestant Establishment rests its chief claims to the support, and attachment and sympathy of the people, on the fact—which it is never weary of repeating—that it is the Church of the poor. In Ireland, it; claims the support of the authorities on no other pretext that we cau perceive, than that it is the ChUrch of the rich—the Church of the few—the Church whose principal duty is to do nothing—a duty which we must honestly acknow ledge, it discharges with exemplary assiduity. Will the time never arrive when this colossal nuisance will be abated—when this ulcer eating its way to the vitals of Ireland will be cut out—when this proud, haughty badge of three hundred years of na tional Servitude will be destroyed, or at any rate be compelled to lower the tone of its pretensions, to do more work with less pay, and be rendered available, where it is now nearly, if not quite, Useless ? Un doubtedly the time will arrive when this desirable consummation will be effected ; though some years, we fear, must elapse, ere the Irish Protestant Esta blishment—which has been the direct cause of so many wholesale tithe massacres—shall cease to be the one prominent grievance of the Irish people. cipated.

Many cases of very great hardship eummARY 0 F NEWS have caused a feeling anythi ng b u t f avoura bl e t o th e U partners in the bank; and the keeping open the lastßom ford market-day, to dose the following morning, has been very freely commented upon. In one small parish (Grays), containing about 1,200 acres, the loss by notes held, and deposit accounts, is not less than 5,000/. One auctioneer, in another place, loses 4,0001., another depositor 2,0001., besides a very ge neral distribution of the notes, which almost every farmer selling produce at Romford market took home with him. The notes are freely offered a 2s. 6d. in the pound, and no buyers. AND Vutilit Optnton• " ino runs may read." FOREIGN. Sir Henry Hardinge, accompanied by his son and aide-de camp, arrived in Paris on Monday. The Chief Consistory of the Jews at Paris had addressed a letter to the Minister of Public Worship, expressing grati tude for the royal ordonnance published in the Mondeur of the 28th ult., regulating the mode of forming the Israelite Consistories in the different towns of France, and thus ex tending to them an equal protection of the law. Among the signatures are those of two members of the Chamber of Deputies, M. Creinieux and M. Cerfberr, and also that of M. Anspach, substitute to the Procureur du Roi. A letter of the 29th ult., from Oran, says :—" The corps commanded by the son of Abderrahman may reckon from 15,000 to 20,000 men, cavalry and infantry, but there can be but very few regular troops among them ; so that 8,000 or 10,000 men, with General Lamoriciere at their head, will be more than sufficient to put them to the rout." A secret gambling-house, kept by a M. D—, at No. 104, Rue Richlieu, Paris, was suddenly invaded by the commissary of police and his followers, on Thursday evening. An as semblage of twenty-eight persons of both sexes were thrown into such consternation that several of the ladies escaped from the play-room, and, getting into the bed-chambers, endeavoured to conceal themselves, some under the bedclothes and behind the curtains, and some even under the bedsteads. They were all,. however, to their no small shame, discovered and sent away; but the police-officers s ei z ed all the cards, counters, &c., and also M. D—, whom they delivered into the hands of justice. _ _ THE HAGUE, JUNE 10.--His Majesty the Em peror of Russia arrived here to-day at four o'clock in the afternoon, on his return from London. BERLIN, JUNE 3.—lmmediately after the agree able surprise caused to our Court by the unexpected visit of the Emperor of Russia, we have received the unwelcome intelligence that the journey of the Empress of Russia to Berlin will not take place, her Majesty hav ing been taken ill at Whitsuntide with afresh attack of the weakness and debility under which she has occa sionally suffered for some years past, and for which she used the baths of Baden and Ems. The young Grand Duchess Alexandra has been indisposed for some days. All the great preparations for the recep tion of the Empress and suite, are, therefore, of no use. The news was brought by a superior Russian officer, who was entrusted with a special mission. MR. BENEDICT'S MORNING CONCERT.—This well known composer and conductor will give his annual Concert on Friday next, under the patronage of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The selection of pieces is excellent, and they cannot fail to be ad mirably performed when such a galaxy of talent as the following is to shine forth on the occasion : Signors Lablache F. Lablach e , F ornasar i , an d H err Staudigl ; to be aided by Mesdames Grisi, Persiani, Dorm Gras, Mrs. Alfred Shaw, and Miss Rainforth, besides many other names celebrated in the musical world. At the end of the first part Mr. Benedict, Dr. Mendelssohn, and Madame Dulcken, will perform a piece arranged for three performers on two pianos, intitled " Nocturne and Valse Brillante." It is not too nruch to say that such an assemblage of splendid singers and performers has rarely ever appeared to gether before the public. The clergy of Calais have been endeavouring, says the Constitutionnel, to prevail on the authorities of the town to interdict the repetition of the performance of Moliere's 7'artufe, which has lately been represented at the Calais theatre, and drawn overflowing audiences. The storm which fell on Sunday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, vented its force with such rage upon the buildings of the Exhibition in the Champs Elysees, that the gutters and spouts were not only overflowed, but absolutely burst, and parts of the zinc covering of the roof were torn off, leaving free passage for torrents of rain to the stalls below. The Independence of Brussels, of Saturday, says, it is as sured that the negotiations which have been long pending between the Post-office departments of London and Brussels, for the establishment of a daily mail between Dover and Os tend, are nearly brought to a conclusion. We find the following in a letter from Athens, of the 21st ult :—" The Opposition are making great resistance to a • Ministerial measure ordering securities in a large amount to be given by all the proprietors of newspapers. Several of the journals have ceased to appear; but the proprietors are making efforts to have the Ministers impeached, for throwing in the way of the public press obstacles which are not sanc tioned by law." The volume of water thrown up by the Artesian well, at Greuelle, has lately been again measured. It is found to flow with its original force, and in undiminished quantity, the produce being 2,000,000 litres per hour (100 litres are equal to 22 gallons). The water is as clear and limpid as the fil trated river water. MONE VAND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Consols do not close quite so well to-day, being 98 to 98k.

LAW AND POLICE. William George Hawkins, the master of the Rainbow steam-packet, plying between London and Hammersmith, appeared at the Mansion-house, to answer the complaint of Mr. Edward Bailey, son of Mr. Bailey, of Berners-street, Oxford-street, for . having unlawfully, carelessly, and negli gently navigated the vessel on the Thames, so that it came in collision with a wherry in which the complainant, his two brothers, and other young gentlemen were, by reason of which they had nearly lost their lives. His Lordship said the case was one of atrocious neglect on the part of the per-- sons on board the steamer, and discharged the summons that Mr. Bailey might bring an action at law. A most respectably-dressed man, described on the charge sheet as Oliver Walsh, living at No. 7, Upper-marsh, Lam beth. was charged at Bow-street with having sent a letter to Sir Robert Peel containing language of a threatening nature. The officers of the detective force had received orders on the previous night to apprehend him, and they had that morn ing, at half-past seven o'clock, succeeded in capturing him at his lodgings as above, in the most quiet and peaceable manner. He said that he had been robbed of his property, and that the Irish Government and Sir R. P ee l h a d re f use d him redress. His mind seemed to be affected ; net being able to give bail for his good behaviour, he was sent to prison. George Guy, porter to the Horticultural Society, Regent street, was charged, at Marlborough-street, with having embezzled the sum of 6/. 35., the property of the Society. He was committed for trial. Madrid journals to the 4th announce that the Go vernment had resolved to annul the tobacco contract, and that a decree to that effect had been sent off to Barcelona for the QUEEN'S signature. A report was prevalent, that CARRASCO and GONZALES BRAVO would return to the Cabinet, and replace Alm; and PIDAL. This is not very probable, but indeed it is a matter of perfect indifference. Spanish statesmen are now byewords among the nations of Europe. The Heraldo gives an account of another outrage com mitted by the Moors on Spanish subjects. It is thus described in a letter from Santiago, May 31 :—" A Spanish merchant-vessel was seen a day or two since off Muros, driving at the mercy of the wind and waves. On the officer of the port boarding her to ascertain her condition, he found the whole of the crew lying on the deck murdered. It was evident from their appearance that they had made a desperate resistance. No papers were found on board, and she had evidently been pillaged by some pirate." The Three per Cents. were done at 27} for cash, and at 27i ; and the Fire per Cents. at 20 for the 6th of July. Accounts to April 17, by way of Havre, have been received from Rio de Jamero. After an illness, consi dered sufficiently serious to warrant the issuing of bul letins, the young Emperor was better again. In the un fortunate event of the Emperor's decease, very important occurrences might take place in Brazil, and his health, therefore, is justly a matter of solicitude. The provinces were tranquil. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market yesterday were 4.000 b a l es , a t t o l era bly steady rates.

The order of Rosas respecting remittances monthly towards the payment of the dividends on Buenos Ayres Stock gives much satisfaction, as, if strictly acted upon, it will add an other to the list of South American "penitents " willing to atone in part for former defalcations.

John Riley, a notorious river thief, was charged, at Lam beth- street, with being concerned, with two other bargemen, named Drake and Pierse, in stealing 38 gallons of French brandy, of the value of 531., from a cask on board a lighter in the St. Katherine's Dock, on the morning of the 24th of April last. lie was remanded. Lieutenant Archibald Campbell, R.N., appeared in naval uniform; at Thames-street, to answer a charge of using threatening and abusive language towards Mr. William Whayman, a general dealer, of No. 35, Jubilee-place, Com mercial-road, East. The defendant has frequently been charged at different offices with violent and reckless conduct, that can only proceed from insanity. On this occasion he had flung a ginger-beer bottle with great violence at com plainant's head. Not being able to find bail he was sent to Clerkenwell prison. Edward Champness, a police-constable of the K division, was charged at the same office, under the Police Act, with having illegally withdrawn himself from the duties of his office without leave of the superintendent, or giving him a month's notice of his intention to do so in writing.—He was fined 155., the arrears of pay due to him. Several of the Paris papers have long articles on the grand fete given by the KING on Saturday even ing at Versailles, in honour of French industry. The Journal des Debate devote four columns to the sub ject, and pays a high compliment to the Sovereign for collecting together the principal nobility, the Members of the two Chambers, the Ministers of the Crown, and the industrious classes, not out of vain show and pomp, like some of the grand displays of Louis XV. and his successors, but chiefly to encourage arts and manufactures, and to show that the CITIZEN KING has not forgotten the interests of those with whom he often mixed when a subject of the Crown. The Pre.cse a Court paper, thus adverts to some circum stances attending this fete:—" The spectacle finished so late that we scarcely had time enough to mention the most characteristic feature of the fete, which, had it taken place a century ago, would have been quite an event in the whole world ! Just fancy an artisan au daciously challenging Louis XV. to admit him to a fete at Versailles, not in a jacket, not in the plain costume of his craft, but actually in rags ! This audacious challenge was yesterday accepted, without any hesitation. The KING was not stopped by the spirit of opposition and democra tical vanity betrayed by tattered clothes such as the labourious workman wears no longer now-a days— no, the KING saw, and would see, but the merit of the ingenious inventor, recorded by the medal he had obtained, and that a mechanic, who would not have been suffered to enter, even had he paid for any place of popular amusement, where decent garments are required, was without any difficulty permitted to move about the sumptuous drawing-rooms, in the magnificent galleries of Versailles palace, and to sit in the theatre, still resplendent with the recollections of Louis XIV. The miller of Sans - Souci is out done by the mechanic of Versailles. That the respect for labour should be carried to the extreme limit we saw it extend yesterday is characteristic of our times, and truly deserving of being recorded. We doubt that the Radicals in power would prove of such easy access and etiquette." Some of the Opposition journals take a less favour able view of the entertainment, but some men cannot be pleased with any act, however praiseworthy, unless it be performed by one of their party. The fol lowing are the only other extracts frqm the papers of any interest : " The committee on the Paris and Rennes Railroad met on Saturday to hear M. de Salvandy's report read. The committee has declared itself almost unanimously in favour of the Bill in its general bearing, and proposes to allow the necessary funds for the embankments between Versailles and Chartres. It recommends the adoption of the line from Ver sailles to Rennes, but reserves the question whether it ought to pass between Chartres and Laval by Alensiun or Mans. As to the question of joining this line to the two Paris and Versailles Railroads, the committee reserves its solution on this point. It is, however, of opinion that it would be equi table to join the Chartres line to them. " The new Governor-General of India, Sir Henry Hardinge, accompanied by the Right Hon. Baronet's son and his aide de-camp, landed at Dieppe at an early hour on Sunday morn ing, and left, at little more than an hour's delay, en route for Marseilles, taking Paris in their way. • " A Royal ordonnance, of September 23, 1843, had autho rised the transit of cattle on the Belgian railroad with an exemption from all duty. Some cattle were, in consequence sent from. Holland-to France through Belgium, but com plaints having been made by the Belgian' breeders, this facility has been withdrawn by an ordonnance, dated. June 7. "The Cologne Gazette assures us that the Papal Govern ment has addressed a note to the Cabinets of London, Vienna, and Paris, on the subject of the late disturbances in its terri tories. The note.declares that there has been no real cause for political discontent, and that the dissatisfaction is chiefly to be ascribed to the machinationsof anarchists inFrance and England. _ _ Sin,—lt cannot be too generally known, that the time limited for stamping agreements under hand, entered into since the 6th instant, without a penalty, is, by an Act which received the Royal Assent on that day (7th Vic. cap. 21) fourteen days only, and not twenty-one as heretofore ; and that the penalty is increased from 51. to 101„ the stamp duty being reduced from 20$. to 2s. 6d. It is proper, however, to understand that no alteration has taken place in the duty of agreements for letting houses and other property, which continue, as before, liable to stamp duty as leases, such being still 20s. duty where the rent is under 201., and 11. 10s. where the rent is 201. or under 1001., and so on. The other stamp duties reduced by the late Act are those en sea insurances, and on proxies to vote at meetings of joint-stock companies, which latter are reduced from 30s. to 2s. 6d. Stamps and Taxes, 12th June, 1844. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—It will be seen from the table given in another part of the paper, that the number of deaths during the last week was 901, being 45 below the average of the last five years. The num ber of deaths from small pox is unusually great-49; and of these 35 had not been vaccinated. The following is the analysis of the list of violent deaths:—Falls, 2 cases; burns, 4; drowning, 1; and suicide, 2. The thermome ter was highest on Saturday, 74 . 1, and lowest on Mon day the 3d, 43•6 degrees. DEATH FROM PRUSSIC ACID.—In Tracey-street, Stepney, on Saturday last, the sudden and mysterious death of a lady of great personal charms, the wife of a medical gentleman, took place from the effects of prussic acid. The circumstances, as elicited at the inquest, held by Mr. Baker, at the Fountain, Tracey street, Stepney, are as follows :—The deceased, Rachael Bellamy, the wife of J. Bellamy, Esq., surgeon, came to London, from Sussex, on her way to Arlington, in Essex, on Tuesday last, and took lodgings at the house of Mrs. Epstantell, in Tracey street, Stepney, where she remained in company with her husband. It appeared that the lady was enciente, and about half-past ten o'clock on the above morning, her husband sent for a black draught, which she took. Mr. Bellamy has himself, for a length of time past, been in the habit of taking small quantities of prussic acid for a complaint he laboured under. On Saturday morning he broke one of the phials containing the prussic acid, when he poured the contents into a tumbler, and went into the next room and commenced writing. Mr. Bellamy shortly after heard a scream in his wife's bed-room, who called out, " Oh, I have taken some of that stuff in the tumbler ; do give me some water," and she expired shortly after. It further appeared that immediately after the death of his wife, Mr. Bellamy left the lodgings and went to reside a few doors off. Neither did he send for medical assistance or the stomach-pump. Mr. Charnock, who attended for Mr. Bellamy, requested that the inquest might be ad journed, for the purpose of proving that Mr. Bellamy was in the habit of treating his wife with great kindness and was most ardently attached to her, and that the, poison must have been taken by mistake. The inquest was accordingly adjourned.' WONDERFUL INCREASE !-Mr. John Buttery, of the Railway Tunnel Tavern, near Whitby, last week, received a marvell ou s increase to his " l ive stock." On Saturday his favourite sow littered thirteen " little grunters ;" on Sunday morning the dun cow gave birth to two healthy calves ; and the following morning his wife presented him with two fine boys ! All which " are dQiug well."—Hull IVA " The Journal of the Two Sicilies announces that several steamers left Naples on the 21st ult_ with troops destined to relieve the garrisons of Sicily. The railroad between Torre- Annunciata to Nocera by Pompi, Sca fati, Angri, and Pagani, has just been opened to the public. 'The King was present at the inauguration. " A letter from St. Petersburgh, Mal , 28, in the Journal de Frankfort, says The Minister of koreign Affairs, Count Nesselrode, has obtained leave of abseil ce fur some months to travel, and Count Woronzow-Daschkc iw, Privy Councillor, has been appointed to replace him. Count Lieven and his lady arrived here by the last Lub eck steamer. Count Canerin, Minister of Finance, is to quit us on June 1, for Berlin, to consult physicians relative to the use of German baths of mineral water. His wife and. sons will accompany him.

COIIRM-PABELIONABLZ. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the King of Saxony, and attended by the Royal suite, will leave Buckingham Palace to-morrow morning for Claremont, where the Queen will entertain a select circle at dinner the same evening, and the Court will return to town on the following day, hig Majesty having accepted an invitation to dine with Sir Robert and Lady Peel on Saturday. Lord and Lady Charles Beauclerk entertained at Anker wycke a large party of friends during the Ascot races, and returned to town on Monday, for the Polish ball. The Marquis of Lorn, eldest son of the Dike of Argyll, will shortly lead to the altar the Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower, eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Suther land, and sister to Lady Blantyre. The youthful Marquis attained his majority in April last; the fair and noble bride elect is in her 20th year. Mr. and the Hon. Mrs. Sanderson entertained at dinner, on Monday, the Earl and Countess Manvers and Lady Anna Pierrepont, Viscount and Viscountess Holmesdale, Lord and Lady Itraybrooke and the Hon. Miss Neville, Lady Rolle, Lord Rendlesham, Mr. G. E. and the Hon. Mrs. Anson, Cap tain Freke, Captain Archdall, Mr. Neville, and Mr. Kari tlon, at their residence in Belgrave-square. DIXSCZZLANZOI7B. The amount of contributions to the repeal fund during the last week amounted to 3,2001., and from all accounts it will go on increasing for some time. A. numerous party of the subscribers to the Royal Free Hospital dined together at the London Tavern on Tuesday evening in commemoration of its 16th anniversary. The chair was occupied by Lord Ashley, M.P. The usual collec tion was made in the room, and the sum of about 1,170/. raised, including a donation of 1001. from the Bank of Eng land, a similar sum from the Hon. East India Company, 521 10s. from Dr. Marsden, the founder (being that gentle man's third donation), 40/. from Miss Harley, &c. On Tuesday the Merchant Tailors' Company gave their annual banquet in the Hall, in Threadneedle-street, on the occasion of the election of scholars to St. John's College, Ox ford. The Master of the Company, Mr. C. M. Hullah, was in the chair, supported on the right by the Rev. Dr. Wynter, President of St. John's, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, the Senior Fellows of St. John's, the Lord Mayor, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Viscount Hereford, Viscount Mahon, Hon Win. Ashley, and Sir George Murray, and on the left by the Vice-Chancellor of England, Sir L. Shadwell, the Mar quis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Londonderry, and the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. The brilliancy of the meeting was somewhat diminished in consequence of the absence of the Cabinet Ministers and other members of the Govern ment, who were prevented from attending by the business in both Houses of Parliament. THE STAR COMPANY'S BOATS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. took a trip to Gravesend yesterday by an afternoon packet from London, landed at the town pier, and finding that the last packet would leave at eight o'clock, made up my mind to enjoy the country as long as possible, and return at that hour. The great reduction of fares to Gravesend has, of course, immensely increased the numbers resorting there, and more-particularly on the holiday of the working classes. On reaching the pier at ten minutes to eight, to my regret, I found the:packet inconveniently crowded, and several people, like myself, fearful of venturing aboard. The Star packet, from the other pier, in a few minutes also passed up, filled to excess, and I, in company with many others, had the prospect of staying in Gravesend all night. To my de light, however, upon leaving the pier, I found a man in forming the people, that in order to prevent disappoint ment the Meteor would, immediately upon her coming down from Blackwell about nine, return at the usual fares. Comforted by this, I took a short stroll, and in pas sing down the High-street, about a quarter of an hour after wards, I saw the very person who had given the grateful information, being marched off to the police-station by three people in Pier uniforms and two others, followed by a con course of persons. Upon inquiry for the cause, I was much surprised to find that the crowd on the Town-pier after hear ing the announcement of a packet from the other pier, had hired a small tug, put her alongside, inveigled some people into her, demanded double the fares charged during the day, and because this man continued to inform the people of the Meteor's intended passage at the usual fares, and of the cer tainty of her being at Blackwell an hour before the tug, and saving the last train, without extra charge, seized him with such violence as to tear his clothes, and locked him up. I know nothing of G ra v esen d laws ; but this does seem extraordinary. The man's information was most grateful to many people, who, but for the very considerate course adopted by the Star Company, must have experienced great inconvenience in purse or person. The mode of con veying the information, viz., by word of mouth, was the only one for the-occasion, and was, as the result fully and satisfactorily proved, correct to the letter. I, with nearly 400 persons, went by the Meteor, a little after nine ; we passed the tug about Purffeet, though she started half an hour before us. We paid the usual fares, for which we were also conveyed upon the Blackwell railwa7 to London. Now, Sir, this great extra accommodation afforded by the Star and Blackwell Railway Companies should be known, and must be appreciated ; fur, without it, many people must have en dured the annoyance of staying from their homes for the night, and thereby caused great uneasiness to their families. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Whitechapel, June 10. T. BRITTEN. We take this opportunity of correcting the error that appeared in our journal of Tuesday under the heading " London University," in reference to the pamphlet written by Dr. Blarney. At a general meeting of the students Dr. Blarney was elected to write an address to the Professors, and also a poem to his fellow• students. The author recited the poem publicly in their presence on the 24th of May last, when it was unanimously resolved that it should be immediately published, which was done accordingly. These proceedings took place at the University College, not at the London Uni versity, as we mentioned last evening. The latter, which was the original name of this College, has been since changed for the present. DUEL.--A duel was fought at Boulogne, on the morning of the 7th instant, between Captain Bulkely, at tended by Mr. William Hill, and Mr. Fitzgerald Higgins, attended by Mr. Finucane. Three shots were fired by each party without effect ; afte r w hi c h t h ey left the ground. The meeting was occasioned by. Mr. Higgins having made some very offensive observations to the Captain at the Café du Pas sage the preceding evening; COURT CIRCULAR. His Majesty the King of Saxony let 131 cki )gbam Pa lace soon after ten o clock yesterd ty rni ig, for the purpose of inspecting a number of the pt blic buildings of the metropolis. His Majesty was attended by his Excellency Baron de Gersdorff, the Earl of Morton, Lord in Waiting ; his Excellency M. de Minckwitz, Lord Charles Wellesley (Clerk Marshal), Equerry in Waiting ; Count Albert Yitzthum, Major de Reichardt, and Dr. Carus. His Majesty went to the Tower of London, and after viewing the numerous articles of int e r es t i n that ancient edifice, went to St. Katherine's Docks, and from thence to the Mint. The King remained a considerable time inspecting the different processes of the coinage. The illustrious party visited the Bank of England, where they were received by the officers of the corpora tion, who conducted his Majesty through the bullion de partment and other portions of the building. A dejeune was afterwards served in the Bank to his Majesty and suite. In the afternoon the King went to Lodge's garden, Hackney, and on his return drove to St. Paul's Ca thedral, to inspect that sacred edifice. His Majesty al o inspected Guildhall. At six o'clock the King, att3nded by.his suite, rc turned to Buckingham Palace. The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness afterwards rode out on horseback, attended by Major-General Sir Edward Bowater. The Royal Family were taken their accustomed airings yesterday in the royal gardens. His Majesty the King of Saxony left Buckingham Palace at eight o'clock last evening, to honour the Earl and Countess of Wilton with his company at dinner, at their residence in Grosvenor-square. His Majesty was attended by his Excellency Baron de Gersdorff, the Earl of Morton, M. de Minckwitz Count A. Vitzthum, Baron de Reichardt, Lord C. Wellesley, and Dr. Carus. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt, and a select party were present to meet his Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge yesterday, at Cambridge House. The Governor of the Bank of England and the Deputy-Governor had an interview with Sir Robert Peel and the'Chancellor of the - Exchequer yesterday, at the official residence of the Right Hon. Baronet, in Downing 7 street. _ _ Mr. JOhn Browne had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday at the Colonial-office. Mr. Wickham, Chairman of the Stamps and Taxes, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. A Deputation of brandy merchants, including Messrs. Burner,, Currie, Wild, and Clark, had an interview with Sir Robert Peel yesterday, in Downing-street. The Earl of Glengall had an interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCES' HAMPTON RACES—WEDNESDAY. Sir James Graham's interdiction of gaming on race courses, although it may not tou c h severa l o f the first class meetings, have a serous influence on the minor ones, and more particularly on those within the " Home Cir cuit.", Thus Hampton, which of l a t e y ears , h as fur nishe, sport enough for three profitable days, com menced yesterday with such diminished resources, that the third day has most reluctantly been given up. Egham, previously in a tottering state, from the "poverty of the land," has also "pronounced," and several other places that we will not prejudice by naming, must adopt a similar course, if they be not compelled to quit the fi e ld altogether. The effect of this prohibition on Hampton ' was not confined to the curtailment of a day's racing ; those who were present yesterday must have been struck with the half furnished appearance of the course, arising out of the absence of the long row of gay marquees, that were wont to be all life and excitement ; they must also have missed the pea and thimble gentry, and that compa ratively harmless class that have so long presided over a game of skill, at which the risk was small and cheating impossible, termed in the House of Commons " throwing the stick," a game, we take it, not a whit more dis reputable than one often played by Hon. Members, known as throwing the hatchet. All these features had disappeared, and, wanting them, the meeting yesterday was superlatively flat, and, we fear, unproductive. The course was not kept by the police—a few were present, by order, we presume, of the highei powers, some of them mounted and armed with sabres; but the .duties hitherto performed by them were entrusted to men employed by the lessees of the ground, and, it is due to them to say, were quite' as well executed; we understand that nearly one hundred are engaged for the same purpose this day. The assemblage of company was of that varied character peculiar to Hampton, obliging us, in our notice of the fashionables, to restrict ourselves to a very small selection; this selection, how ever, will show that many of the old supporters o f Moulsey Hurst rallied round the proprietors :—Marquis of Worcester, Earl of Lonsdale, Earl of Rosslyn, Count Bathyany, Lord A. Paget, Lord Glammis, Lord Long ford, Lord E. Russell, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord Maid stone, Lord Macdonald, Lord Ranelagh, Sir J. Kaye, Sir C. Ibbotson, Sir G. Heathcote, Sir W. W. Wynne, Sir V. Cotton, Sir D. Baird, Hon. Capt. Rous,' Hon. Boyle, Hon. F. Villiers; Hon. G. Ongley, Hon. M. Ongley, Hon.L. Wellesley, Hon. Mr. Lowther, Col. Knox,Col. Peel, Messrs. Magennis, Blair, Williams, Williamson, Gra ham, Ceyley, Bastard, Greville, Rush, J. Stanley, Payne, Drummond, &c. The day's sport, which was under the personal superintendence of the Stewards, Count Ba thyany, and the Marquis of Worcester, assisted by Mr. Parsons, as Clerk of the Course, and Mr. Hibburd, Judge, produced the following results : The Stewards' Plate of 50/., added to a Sweepstake of 5 sovs. each, 3 yrs, 7st 71b, and 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; fillies &c. allowed 3 lbs, winner to be sold for 350 sovs., if demanded. Once round and a distance. 8 Subs. Lord E. Russell's Nat, 4 yrs (Sly) I Mr. Ongley's Queen of the Gipsies, 4 yrs 2 Mr. Payne's c by Clearwell, out of Nininka, 3 yrs Sir W. W. Wynn's Rowland, 4 yrs 6 and 7 to 4 on Nat.

BACKHOUSE, ESQ.—Much excitement of a painful nature was awakened in Dar lington, on Sunday last, by the sudden death of Mr. W. Backhouse, the senior partner of the old and respectable banking establishment of Backhouse and Co., Darling ton. air. Backhouse, being a member of the Society of Friends, attended the meeting-house in the evening, as usual. He arose to address the congregation, and, whilst in the act of speaking, fell down, and immediately expired. This distressing occurrence became generally known throughout the town, from the circumstance of the congregations of the various places of worship being dismissed at the time the deceased was conveyed to his residence in Northgate.—Tyne Mercury. The total number of Jews throughout the world is estimated at 3,163,700, and it is said that this number has never materially varied from the time of David downwards; in the last two years, 1842 and 1840, the sums of 2,0091. and 1,6051. respectively were derived from the sal* of cut4in Parliamentary pap= as " waste parer."
