Bow many a rightful heir of property has been for ever segregated from so ciety and excluded from the enjoyment of that fortune which others, with no legal or equitable claim to it, have been enabled to batten upon by the very laws which should have scared them from approaching it—how many promising minds have broken down in hopeless ruin under unfounded imputations upon the sanity which was never doubted till those unfounded impeachments upon it worked their own accursed end—how many husbands have been conveniently incarcerated by wives who had thei r own designs to accomplish in pressing onward the facile freliminaries requisite to secure their legalised removal— how many wives have been in the same manner rendered the victims of unprincipled husbands—what fathers and guardians have driven children and wards into the hope less desolation of lunatic confinement for the most treacherous and abominable of purposes—how many sons have stifled the voice of conscience and the recla mations of natural instinct, in order to shut out of the world the fathers whose presence or exist ence has income irksome to them or prejudicial to their interests ;—there are secrets of " asylums" and " private establishments" at which neither the in quisitorial powers of Parliament nor the benevolent solicitude of philanthropic legislators, like Lord ASHLEY, can ever arrive. But a great step is achieved towards the solemn business of human reparation for past wrongs, so far as human reparation can now be made for them, —and towards the prevention of their future infliction to whatever extent human providence and law can reach—by measures founded on such irrefragable dente, such ascertained facts, and so wise and enligt: c e ne d a scheme of reformation as that for which Lord ASHLEY has just obtained, we trust, the sanction of a reformed House of Commons. Sir ROBERT PEEL last evening laid on the table of the :louse of Commons a copy of the treaty just con cluded between Great Britain and France for the sup pression of the slave trade. On comparing the au thenticated document with that which appeared in The Sun we perceive no material difference, if we except the period within which the treaty is to be carried into effect after the respective squadrons are ready to commence operations. According to the treaty presented to Parliament that period is limited to three months, while in the other it was stated to be six months. There is, however, an appendix to Article VIII. of some importance, as it contains instructions for the officers of the two nations relative to the search of suspected vessels. With respect to the right of visit and detention of vessels belonging to nations between whom and Great Britain there are existing treaties against the slave trade, as well as those vessels not entitled to claim the flag of any nation, there is no alteration ; and except ing the vessels of France, the new instructions in no way interfere with the instructions founded upon the statute passed in the second and third year of her MAJESTY. But the commanders of the British ships are not to capture, visit, or interfere in any way with vessels of France. This, however, does not apply to the French flag in every instance ; for, in case the British officer has reason to believe that a suspected vessel does not belong to the nation indicated by her colours, he is to hail the vessel, and drop a boat on board of her to ascertain her nationality, without causing her detention, if weather permit ; but should he be prevented from so doing by stress of weather, he is to bring the vessel to, and, in case of neces sity-, employ force for that purpose, and if she prove to be a vessel belonging to the nation designated by her colours, and one which he is not autho rised to search, he is to lose no time in quitting her. Of course, in cases where the suspicion is well founded, the cemmander of her MAJESTY'S cruiser is to deal with her as he would have been autho rised and required to do had she not hoisted a false flag. This clause of the appendix is important, and we therefore give the principal instructions on that point from the authenticated document : " When from intelligence which the officer commanding her Majesty's cruiser may have received, or from the manceuvres of the vessel, or other sufficient cause, he may have reason to believe that the vessel does not belong to the nation indicated by her colours, he is, if the state of the weather will admit of it, to go ahead of the suspected vessel, after communicating his intention by hailing, and to drop a boat on board of her to ascertain her nation ality, without causing her detention, in the event of her really proving to be a vessel of the nation the colours of which she has displayed, and therefore one which he is not authorised to search ; but, should the strength of the wind, or other circumstance, render such mode of visiting the stranger im practicable, he is to require the suspected vessel to be brought to, in order that her nationality may be ascertained ; and he will be justified in enforcing it, if necessary—understandinc , always, that he is not to resort to any coercive mee .iir ; until every other shall have failed ; and the offie_er .. who boards the stranger is to be instructed merely, i n the I xst instance, to satisfy himself by the vessel's papers, or other p-. oof, of her na. tionality ; and if she prove really to be a vess^ • L signated by her colours, and one which he is i of the nation de he.not authorised to search, is to lose no time in quitting her, ofr of the vessel the cause of his hay' suspected her nationality, as well as the number of minutes tf - . . ,e vessel was detained ( ifdetained at all) for the object in queF , ' 4 ..._ ; 4111 such notation to be signed by the boarding officer, s I Y- -cifying his rank and the name o f h er Ma jesty's cruiser ; and whether the commander of the visited vessel consents to such notation on the vessel's papers or not (and it is not to be done w .about his consent) ; all th e sa id part i culars are to be immedi 7. ...ely inserted in the log-book of her Majesty's cruiser, and a fu/:. and complete statement of the circumstances is to be sent, al.-dressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty." The intelligence from Madrid is to the 2d inst. Only two journals were published on that day, the official Gazette and the Beraldo—all the others having been either seized or prohibited by the authorities. The Esperanza, a Carlist paper, was about to publish a supplement with the documents relative to the abdication of Don CARLOS, but this was forbid den by the political chief, and the paper conse quently did not appear. The livaldo, the Govern ment organ, disapproves of the proceeding, as the docu ments could have produced no effect whatever on the Spanish nation ; and with much gravity infers that the marriage of the QUEEN to the Prince of ASTURIAS cannot for a moment be entertained. Don CARLOS and reform are incompatible. " Such a union," it says," is opposed by th© national interest, the dignity of the throne, exalted and powerful State considera tions ; by the blood of thousands of victims, and by justice and right—it would be a public calamity it would be equivalent to the proclamation of the cause of absolutism and deprive the QUEEN of her inheritance by at once destroying the result of so many years of a san guinary struggle." Such language is inched a mockery at the moment when all the independent journals are suppressed by acts which even absolutism hardly ever ventured to commit. The inhabitants of the capital have, in consequence of this news and the arbitrary and mysterious proceedings of NARVAEZ and CHRISTINA, been thrown into a state of the greatest excitement and alarm. The Three per Cents. had fallen one per cent., speculations on the Bourse had been carried on to a most extraordinary extent, and a revulsion had taken place bringing ruin on many persons of all ranks. Every day the financial crisis becomes more certain, and with that possibly another revolution. Some desperate scheme has been resolved upon by the Camarilla, which will probably be disclosed at Barcelona. The QUEEN on the 31st of May was still at Valencia. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at 314 for cash, and 321. at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 22k for cash, and 224 at 60 days ; the Coupons a 261 for cash, and 268 at 47 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 8k at 60 days. The Journal des Debats publishes an extract of a letter from Warsaw, dated the 28th of May, which states that the Emperor of RUSSIA suddenly left that place on the preceding day, owing to important intelligence received from General WORONSOFF, who commands the army of the Caucasus. His MAJESTY was to proceed by Kief to Odessa, and would probably approach still nearer the theatre of war, in which, from all accounts, he takes the deepest interest. During his stay in the capital of Po land he was deeply engaged in manoeuvring the troops, and he also passed in review the students of the different acade mical institutions ; but no professor, says the writer, had the courage to tell his Majesty into what a deplorable condition public instruction had fallen at Warsaw. The University, formerly so flourishing, has been suppressed since the last re volution, and at present more than fbur mil'ions of inhabi tants are without the means of sup erior instruction. The affairs of Spain seem to excite much, interest at Paris, and according to one of the journals the. Government is afraid of some attempt being made by the refugees now in France. Queen CnnismsA's journal, the Presse, says :—" A report is current relative to the affairs of Spain, - which we mention without vouching for its correctness. It is rumoured that Govern ment have received two telgraphie dispatches, in conse quence of which measures bas e been adopted to remove to a distance from Paris a large number of refugees belonging to both the Carlist and Exaltado parties. We know not whether this report be well founded; but what we know is that for some days past, there has been here a general ren dezvous of Spaniards of all parties, and that the refugees towards whom the Government have been very in dulgent, have been to-day in great agitation." M. Gomm was expected to appear in his place in the Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, :or the first time since his illness, and make some statement respecting the new treaty with England for the suppression of the slave -trade. It appears, that a meeting of the Opposition had been held. at M. TIIIERS' house on Sunday, on the subject, when it was re• solved that no opposition should be made to the grwat of 1 0,000,000 f. for fitting out the preventive fleet. The pass ing of the railway Bill from Paris 'to Avignon, which we idbt done g et ßailwayißudget d tg heet Iw ua B us di to s l oc a no n uns d un a ne l d s i ef t h , t announced yesterday, was adopted a majority of 230 to 4.

COMMON PLEAS. -(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) DUKE OF BRUNSWICK V. MILNEE.—LIBELs Mr. Sergeant RILES, with whom was Mr. Wardswotth, on the part of the defendant, the publisher of the Lantaster Guardian, moved the Court for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new inquiry and assessment of damages in this case, on the ground of excessive damages. The facts of this case have already appeared before the public. The action was brought by the plaintiff' against the defendant far the publication of a certain libellous paragraph, contained in the Lancaster Guardian of the month of September, 542, headed " An aWkuard Mistake," in which paragraph it was asserted that his Serene Highness had been taken into custody at Preston, on suspicion of being one of the swell mob, and connected with a robbery that had taken place the day before. The paragraph, it was admitted, was a mere fiction and a fabrication from beginning to end. An apology, on the facts becoming known to the editor, was published in a subsequent number of the paper. The Learned Sergeant grounded his application on two distinct points—first, that it was manifest that the plaintiff could not have sustained any damage by the insertion of the paragraph in question, and which was ad mitted to be libellous; and secondly, that the Under. Sheriff, before whom the case was tried during the last week, when the jury gave a verdict for 2001. damages (a report of which appeared in The Sun of Thursday last), improperly permitted the Duke of Brunswick, who conducted his case in person, to introduce matter wholly irrelevant to the inquiry, and which tended to create a sympathy in the minds of the jury, and although the Counsel fbr the defendant objected thereto, and he admitted the Under-Sheriff had interposed, yet such matter had been allowed to be stated that rendered such interposition useless; and also that the defendant was not allowed to give in evidence the apology inserted by him in the Lancaster Guardian. After some considerable discussicn on the part of the Bench, The CHIEF JUSTICE said the Court felt no difficulty in disposing of the present case. They had a right to suppose that all was done by the Learned Counsel for the defendant that was necessary to prevent any irrelevant and improper matter going before the jury. The Court had no scales by which to assess the amount of damages in such a case ; it was clearly in the province of the jury, unless the amount of damages was so enormous as to be against ordinary com. mon sense. lie (the Learned Judge) was not prepared to say that the amount awarded was too much in the present case, looking at the nature of the paragraph, which, at all events, tended to place the plaintiff in a degraded and ridiculous position without one particle of truth, the whole being a mere fiction.—Rule refused. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCUELL.) IDWARDS V. !MALEY. The jury were sworn in at ten o'clock, but no attorneys were present. At a quarter past ten the Under-Sheriff took his seat, and the above case was called on. The plaintiff was stated to be a lodging.house keeper in Arun eel.street in the Strand, and the defendant a barrister, and the claim was for 8/. I ls., for lodging, washing, &c., for a lady. The defendant objected to sundry extras, which he contended, ought not have been charged, and paid 71. 10s. into Court. It was con. tended by the Counsel for the plaintiff that the extras were usual, as would be proved by witnesses. The particular barges objected to did not transpire. The claim consisted of charges for shoe.cleaning, "lights," " firing," "kitchen fire," c' castors" (cruet), and 1/. for the occasional use of the drawing_ room during a month. Witnesses being called, but not being in attendance, the Under. Sheriff suggested that the record should be withdrawn. Mr. M►LLER, for the plaintiff, after some time, called one, and said, probably the other would soon Arrive. A witness was then called into the box, and said he knew nothing of the matter. The plaintiff was then nonsuited. RETIIERINGTON V. MEATH AND JONES. This was an action to recover 131. 12s. for rent of stabling at New Cross, Deptford. The defendants pleaded payment and set off. The agreement for the letting of the stables appeared to be with Heath, but the names of Heath and Jones were both on the omnibuses, and the horses were put in the stables. The only evidence to show that Jones himself had any con. trol over the business was by " blowing up" the ostlers. The plaintiff's son admitted that he rode occasionally on the step behind the omnibus, but never inside, and plaintiff sometimes rode in that manner, or on the box. There was a gene. ral complaint of persons riding for nothing, but Heath said he did not object to plaintiff being picked up on the journey. " Way-bills° are kept for omnibuses, with the number and names of contract passengers. Credit was frequently given, and their names were put on the list if the master gave credit. Plaintiff's name was never on the way-bill, he was not a " payable " passenger ; there were so many non.payable ones that it " knocked up the concern ;" non.payable customers were those who stood a " drain" to the coachman and conductor._ (Laughter.) The plaintiff was now charged eleven guineas for his rides. For Jones, it was contended that the defendants being partners, did not make him liable under a contract with Heath. The UNDER-SRERIFF said it was a question for the jury whether there had been occupation by both.— Verdict for the plaintiff for 7/. 12s. ASCOT RACES. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT), WEDNESDAY. —Th e Coronation - e s • T will, in all pro bability, be put into Lord Chest .crfield's pocket by the aid of the Daughter of Indust).— " appropriately named Stitch. Lord Exeter will, of tours" second. , start one of his lot, aud, of course, run Ihes°' ..sors. Sweepstake s h as s i x su b scr ib ers; and f rom t h e ~ character I hear of Mr. Herbert's filly, by Elis out of Defender's dam, I am led to imagine she will turn out the winner. The other 50 . Scvs. Sweepstakes, as far as I can judge at present, Ides will walk over for. The Great Produce Stakes, which was 'intended to be a most interesting race, has been spoilt by Cowl mailing s;) immeasurably superior to any of his compeers. If he has any opponent in this race it will be Winchilsea, whose chance is most remote. I now come to the most interesting race of the Meeting, the Royal Hunt Cup, for which fifty-three horses have been handicapped. Out of these we shall doubtless have fifteen, or twenty, at the post; consequently it would be the height of vanity to say which would be likely to catch the judge's eye first. But I should not advise my readers to be against either Godfrey, Philip, Evenus, or the old Knight (who won it in 1843). Nothing that has as yet been out in public, or heard of in private, can beat Cherokee for the Fern hill Stakes; and the Albany will furnish a nice race between the Turquoise colt and the beautiful Lady Wildair. Of these two I prefer the former, merely from his stride being longer than the mare's. Physalis or Plenitude seem to be the best for the Windsor Town Plate, out of a very large field. THURSDAY.—On this day the magnificent piece of plate, presented by the Emperor of Russia in commemoration of his visit, last year, to these races, will be contended for by a field so small that I doubt not it would be a source of regret to the liberal donor to witness it. This race for many years has been the cause of more grumbling and ill-feeling than any other contest in the country. Horses have been backed heavily by the public, and withdrawn euddenly, without their owners condescending to afford the slightest explanation of their conduct. If my readers recol lectpastyears, andthink upon the withdrawal ofHornsea, Ple nipotentiary, Sheet Anchor, and Alice Hawthorn, I think they will bear me out in the propriety of my advice, which is, not to lay out a single farthing on any horse until they see the figures up at the starting -post, then to back the St. Leger winner of last year; or, if they have a fancy for a three-year old, to invest a trifle on Cowl. The New Stakes has 49 subscribers to it; and, as far as public running goes for any criterion of merit, Princess Alice or Madcap ought to win it. As the handicap for the Visitors' Plate is not out, I am un • able to say more of it than that, from the number of sub scribers to it, it is likely to turn out an interesting race. Lord Exeter's Tunick, from having beaten Refraction at Newmarket for the Coffee-room Stakes, lays fair claim to be entitled the winner of the 100 Soya. Sweepstakes. The St. James's Palace Stakes, unless Idas is a rank im poster, which I cannot believe, after his winning the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes in a canter, must go to Lord Stradbroke, with the pride of Newmarket. In the Swindon Stakes, should Annandale and Sweetmeat come together, it will be a most interesting race, and ter minate, I imagine, in favour of the latter. Sorella, much fancied by some for this stake, will find the weight too much for her, at least 1 fancy so, taking her running recently into consideration. For the Queen's Plate, Alice Hawthorne, Cataract, and Zanoni will start and come in in the same succession as I have given their names. On Friday we have the Wokingham, for which the horses are not yet named, and—the 100 Sovs. Sweepstakes which Keeley will walk over for. The Chesterfield Stakes will be left solely to wood-pigeon and Kedger, and from the great improvement visible in the former at Epsom, I should recommend him to the attention of my friends. _ _ _ The Borough Members' Plate looks cut out for Physalis, and Scarmentado must naturally win the Brigade Stakes.

The Directors have the honour of announcing to the Shareholders that by the law of the 29th of May last, authorising the grant of this line of railway to the Company for ninety years, they are not only empowered to extend a railway from Mons to Manage, but have the privilege of continuing the line from Namur to Dinant and to the frontiers of France. The Directors have also made arrangements for the purchase, from the Concessionaires, on favourable terms, of the important line of prolongation from Liege to the Dutch frontiers, by the Valley of the Meuse, In the event of a concession being granted by the Government of the Netherlands for its extension to the populous commercial town of Maestricht, for which concession an authorised agent is now in negotiation with the Dutch Government at the Hague. The Directors, in order to comply with the terms imposed by the Belgian Government, and to take possession of the lands from Namur to Liege, and from Mons to Manage, and to commence the works, have made a call of 3Cs. per share, instead of 21. 10s., as stated in the prospectus, as that amount is sufficient to enable the Directors to make the required deposit with the Belgian Treasury. A contract has been entered into with responsible parties for the construction of this railway, and the works will be immediately begun. By order, 52, Moorgate-street, June 9, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five. After a short conversation on the subject of Mr. BARRY and the new Houses of Parliament, The Small Debts Bill was read a second time. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then complained of the want of sufficient accommodation at the Harbours of Port Patrick and Donaghadee, after which— Lord STANLEY brought in a Bill to enable tenants in Ireland to obtain compensation for improvements which they might make in the land occupied by them. While awarding all due merit to emigration as a partial remedy for some of the evils under which the Irish laboured, the Noble Lord said that he did not consider it as capable of relieving the general distress which now prevailed in Ireland. They must, therefore, increase the em ployment at home so as to make it adequate to the wants of the population. There were vast districts in Ireland, capable of being brought into cultivation, and by thus affording employment to the population, fur, taken as a whole, Ireland was not an over-peopled country. What they wanted was capital for the em ployment of labourers, and the object of the Govern ment was to induce the occupying tenant to expend capital upon the improvement of the land ; and the only way to do that was, to give the tenant some security for his investment. The Government therefore pro posed, that if a tenant were obliged to leave his farm before he realised the benefit of his improvements, that compensation should be given him for any improve ments he might have made in building, draining, or fencing. He proposed that with respect to buildings they should be valued at thirty 3 ears' purchase, di minishing a thirtieth every year ; so that if a tenant remained in possession thirty years, after the erection of a building, he should be entitled to no compensation. In the same manner, he proposed to estimate drain ing at fourteen years' purchase, and he proposed that the land gained by the removal of embank ment fences should be added to the holding of the tenant, and estimated at twenty years' purchase. The Noble Lord then proceeded to detail the machinery by which he proposed to carry the plan into effect, namely, by the establishment of a Board of Commis sioners in Dublin to act as arbitrators between landlords and tenants, and to whom tenants might refer before commencing the improvements. The House was afterwards addressed by several Noble Lords, ultimately the Bill was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. After disposing of the other orders of the day, their Lordships adjourned at ten o'clock. The House of Commons met at a Quarter before Four o'Clock. Lord EDWIN HILL took the oaths and his seat for Downshire. The ratification of the treaty with Franco on the sub ject of the Right of Search was laid on the table by Sir H. PEEL. In answer to Mr. S. WORTLEY, the Right Hon. Ba ronet stated that there were no negotiations pending for a commercial treaty with Portugal. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Scotch Banking Bill, and the whole of the clauses were agreed to. The House, after some preliminary discussion, then went into Committee on the Irish Banking Bill. Clauses 1 to 32 were agreed to, when the CHAIRMAN re ported progress, and the House adjourned at one o'clock. The motion of Lord ASIILEY, of Friday evening last, professed for its object purposes which must ever be dear to humanity. He did not call for the repeal of any existing Acts respecting the treatment of lunatics or the substitution of such other enactments in their place as time and circumstances may have rendered necessary, without ample reason for such an appeal. In the com mencement of his speech the Noble Lord carefully di rected attention to the fact that the two Bills he pro posed to introduce regarded only England and Wales. He wished, however —though certain technical objec tions existed to such a course under the present state of the law—that he could extend his Bills to the cases of Ireland and of Scotland. As to the latter ccuntry, he was sorry to declare that he believed there was no portion of her MAJESTY'S dominions at home or in the colonies—no country in Europe—in which the condition of pauper lunatics was more painful or degraded. The Noble Lord showed that in England and Wales, until the Act of 14 GEO. 111., the law, or rather the abuse of the law in respect of the most forlorn and helpless class of our fellow-creatures, was of a laxity so disgraceful as scarcely to be credited in all that regarded the sort of warrant on which private individuals m i g ht b e consigned -to private or to county asylums, the treatment they expe rienced therein, the difficulties interposed to their visita tion by friends and kindred, or the precautions adopted touching the periodical visitings of such establishments by duly authorised, competent, and disinterested authorities. The Noble Lord insisted that, however particular deficiencies of this kind might have been remedied V statutes passed subse quently to that of 14th of GEORGE 111., no man in his senses could doubt that enormous abuses—most seriously affecting the private rights and personal liberty of the subject—continue to exist until Parliament should make up its mind to discharge the urgent and important duty devolved upon it, of placing the pauper lunatic asylums of England and Wales upon a rational and in telligible footing. With great wisdom, as we think, he has limited for the present, at any rate, his benevolent labours to two classes out of four, into which he divides the statutes affecting the treatment of lunatics. These he classifies thus-1. Those affecting lunatics com mitted to, and confined in, county asylums. 2. Those applicable to licensed asylums, private or public establishments, and their visitations. 3. Those having reference to parties found to be of unsound mind, upon inquisition by commissions, &c. 4. Those relating to criminal lunatics, detained as such after trial and con viction, in gaol or other place of confinement. Lord ASHLEY'S Bill addresses itself only to the two former of these categories, and is entitled a " Bill to regulate the law and treatment of lunatics in England and Wales." It provides by a simple, and, we trust, efficient ma chinery, the most probable means of obviating in future the recurrence of these enormous acts of moral delin quency and heartless oppression to which, in this land of corporated private rights and personal liberty—in the ahstract—the law has hitherto extended the most in credible facilities. Grevious indeed has been the sin of ve hr o e w r r d ma h i p i d a c a , l h ei e t i htihyoeau,daset easy means crafty, witha gratifying ff otyr a yearss thefsafe adesigning,np m the eans unprincipled, satiating their victim s to or glutting their vet,geance up on to whom they have stood in legal or kindred relation, giving them the opportunity or the power to invoke the scandalous aid of statutes that are a reproach to Our notions of freedom in all that regards our system of social civilisation. It is gratifying to find the Government not only ten dering its support to, but expressing its warmest appro bation of, the Bill introduced by the Noble Lord, of its 111 AREA T vt , T DA ILEIY 441 3iLiVrA SDIITHFIELD.—Coarse.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The screw-propeller steam-sloop Rattler, Commander G. W. Smith, commtlnding pro tern., arrived at Sheerness yesterday, at 11 h. 30m. o'clock from the Orkney Islands, after having towed the Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain Cro zier, to Cape Wrath, and thence to the islands Barra and Rona, situated sixty miles N. W. of the Orkne}s, where the ships com posing the Arctic expedition took their final departure about noon, on the 4th inst., under the auspices of as favourable a breeze as could be well desired to waft them towards the icy region they have been sent to explore. At parting a most exhilirating scene occurred, which will doubtless remain in the memory of all that had the gratification of participating in the farewell cheer to the brave fellows that have volunteered in so lau dable and perilous a service. At this time the Erebus and Terror, and Baretto Junior, transport, were hove to, roll ing heavily from the violent swell that the recent gales had pro duced; a signal flying from the mast-head of the Embus indicated Sir John Franklin's order for all captains to proceed on board to receive their final instructions ; this order having been completed, their return to their respective ships was the time chosen for man ning the rigging of the two steamers in attendance. At the sound of the boatswain's pipe, the shrouds of the Rattler and Blazer were in one instant lined by their crews, all anxious to outvie each other in the pleasing task they were about to perform. The word was given and three cheers, loud and hearty as ever escaped the lungs of British tars, saluted the ears of Sir John Franklin and his gallant colleagues; the crews of the discovery ships manned their rigging, and with their respective commanders and officers on the quarter-deck, returned the compliment. In reply to an ap propriate address from Mr. Robertson, first lieutenart of the Rattler, on behalf of his brother officers, the commander of the squadron expressed his acknowledgments for the com pliment, and observed that he had hitherto had but few opportunities of witnessing the screw-propeller in practical operation ; but from the expeditious manner in which the squadron had been conducted thus far towards its desti nation, his anticipations of success were most materially strength. ened by its application to the ships under his command ; and in expressing this opinion he felt much pleasure in congratulating Mr. F. P. Smith on the complete success of his invention. The Erebus and Terror were on several occasions both taken in tow at one time by the Rattler, and in calm weather a speed of 6.1 knots was shown by Massey's log on board each ship. With a strong breeze ahead, And considerable sea, the rate was never less than four knots ; but the greatest feat that the screw has yet performed in exhibiting its capabilities for tugging purposes was that of towing both vessels (whose combined tonnage is nearly 7do tons) through the Firth of Pent'and, and thence to Cape Wrath, which was rendered more difficult by the swell then setting in from the Western Ocean, and the consequent breaking of nine. inch hawsers, which were used ; at times even two of these immense ropes .vere insufficient to hold the Erebus and her consort, and the skill evinced by Captain Smith and the officers of the Rattler in re attaching the parted ships under such adverse circumstances, justly merits the high compliment paid to them by Sir John Franklin. The Blazer, Capt. Owen Stanley, had assigned to her charge the Barretto transport, and succeeded in towing that vessel through the Firth in good style, considering the roughness of the weather, which evidently had a much greater effect on her paddle wheels than on the screw of the Rattler, which was remarked by her holding much better way with that vessel in comparison when the water was smooth. Prior to the arrival of the Blazer, the Rattler had on several occasions to fetch up the transport, in order that she might not part company with the rest of the squadron. In performing this service her rate in smooth water was seven knots exactly, and with a fresh wind a-head not less than five knots. These results, combined with the fact of the Rattler having during her late trip steamed upwards of 2,000 miles without the slightest derangement to her machinery, cannot fail to confirm the confi dence that is daily increasing in this mode of propulsion. The next news that may be expected from the discovery, will be by the transport, which leaves them at the edge of the ice. _ In running from Flamborough Head to Sheerness, A distance of 200 miles, the Rattler accomplished it in 21 hours.—Herald.

Cobweb Tunick :, COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE- - Donizetti's Favorit e was performed last night by the Brussels ompany, and in a man. ner highly crediable to all parties concerned in . ; t• A new soprano singer, Madame Julien, was introduced as Leonor..l,and although the pretensions of this lady are of inferior character. to those of Madame Laborde, the energy of her vocal manner and ht.' . accom plishments as an actress entitle her to a good position in pub;:c opi nion. In the last act (the cloister scene), she came out to admira tion, and sang the impassioned music which it contains with excel, lent effect, throwing into it much vigour and pathos. She was well aided by M. Laborde, whose singing, as Ferdinand, contributed to swell the reputation which he achieved on the opening night. The remaining characters were satisfactorily filled, and the ensemble was excellent, for the chorus.singers, by their spirit and animation, and by the faithful discharge of their musical duties, helped, in no little degree, the general completeness. In the course of the opera spas de deux was danced by M. and Mdlle. Honore, a oouple of artists who have heels of unquestionable brilliancy. We are sorry to hear that the Rev. Dr. Wolff is laid up in Half Moon-street, Piccadilly, by a most painful com plaint in his feet, contracted while he was in Bokhara. The na. _ . . tires suffer from it, and a stranger is sure to get it after being in the country about two months. It is called Riehte, and proceeds from some insect which buries its egg in the fleshy part of the foot below the ankle; after a lapse of about a year the grub grows, and makes a considerable swelling. After poulticing, the intruder is drawn out in the form of a long and very thin transparent worm. This process, we are informed, has taken place with regard to both of Dr. Wolff 's feet, and the pain from the consequent inflamma. lion is intense. THE HENLEY REGATTA.—We have every reason to believe, from what we heard at Putney yesterday evening, that the four-oared ,race for the Steward's Challenge Cup, between the Oxford and St. George's boats, has been decided in favour of the former. We beg to state that the judge who was stationed at the bridge came up into the committe-room immediately after the race, and, addressing the stewards in the presence of our reporter, said he could not determine a race by an inch or so, and, therefore, declared it to be a " dead ;heat." The lateness of the hour at which we became acquainted with the decision we have above stated prevented us making such inquiries into the circumstances that we should have wished.—Morning Paper. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY SUBSCRIPTION ROOMS' BOAT Ram—The great four-oared cutter match amongst the gentle men of the Cambridge University Subscription-roans took place yes terday, and excited considerable interest. The race was for the Silver Medals, and the distance, as usual, from Westminster to Putney. The start was very evenly taken by the whole of the crews, who kept together beautifully for a few strokes, Yellow having slightly the ad vantage ; but the others, for some distance, kept so closely together, that it was impossible to say which was second boat. In this order they continued, each crew exerting themselves to the utmost, and displaying some very fine rowing, until near Vauxhall-bridge, when Light Blue and White began to take the lead, but so gallantly had the wln.le of the crews exerted themselves that none of the .our boats were clear of each other until after passing through Vauxhall-bridge. Light Blue then made their appearance in advance, and were pressed throughout by White, who, however, did not amend their position, notwithstanding the most determined efforts of tile crew. Light Blue won by about four lengths, White second, Yellow third, and Dark Blue fourth. The gentlemen, with a large party of friends, sat down to a splendid dinner at Aviss's, when the Henley Grand Challenge Cup, the trophy of Saturday's victory, was placed on the table, and the event duly celebrated. - • ---- - A CC IDENT ON 11 OLBORN-HlLL.—Yesterdav (Mon day), a waggon belonging to Mr. Itielutrd Stoner, jun., of 11, Belt's- St. George's, Middlesex, heavily l a d en w i t h t i m b er, was pass ingn lioloorn-hill. The waggo ner, to prevent an acc i dent, h a d stre d t w locked both the hind wheels. Upon arriving opposite Field-lane a vehicle stood in the way, and in order to avoid a collision, he caused the team suddenly to pull to the off side, when the immense load swerved to the near w,ieel side and crushed it to splinters. The pile of timber immediately fell with an awful crash to the ground, over throwing the shalt horse, and upsetting the heavy wain. About twelve persons were passing at the time, but fortunately no one was injured. ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY.—On Sunday the Bishop of Worcester preached at Trinity Chapel a very excellent sermon, from the text of the 14th 3latthew, verse 30—" Lord save me, or 1 perish"—in favour of the objects of the Royal Humane Society, and seemed to gratify exceedingly the very select congregation assembled there. His Lordship appears to 16,ve been himself, in one ease, the happy Instrument of preserving life, by being enabled timely to re commend the Society's means of resuscitatien where a child with drawn from a public well was considered to be dead.
