In the L iords the Illegal Processions (Ireland) Bill went throe gh Committee. 'I he Ma, rquis of NORMANDY moved the order of the day for an address to her MAJESTY on the health of towns. :He went into lengthened statistical ietails on the subyeot, which showed the vast suffering which the lower cftasses endured, with a patience which did them the Ii hest honour. The DIAL( of livccr.rnien admitted the importance of the surtijExt, but he did not consider the Govern wif,nt were• liable to blame ; and, after enumerating various ph' um which had been adopted for remedying the evils cm.? which the Noble Marquis complained, moved the 7previous question. This, of course, was agreed to, said the House adjourned at Nine o'clock. The Co yl,rnons met at Twelve o'clock, when' not treated with absolute indifference, for the two lase sessions ; and the very least he can do is to pay off an instalment of this debt by such a scheme of practical education as shall have the besi nttirests of the people, not of a mere party, for its ob ject. In the present case, we believe Sir ROBERT PEEL to be really sincere in his desire to amelio rate the condition of the sister-country ; and sure are we that, if his determination and perseverance be on a par with his sincerity, he will triumphantly carry his point, for he will have a majority of the two Houses of Parliament with him, and will be opposed only by the incurably prejudiced and bigoted, who, fortunately constitute a minority in both kingdoms. There are some great public questions, the socia 'interests involved in which command the sympathies of the most bigoted partisans, of all shades of politi :al opinions, in this party-stricken country. We cannot imagine any homage to moral principles —any recognition of their inherent, original influence upon our common natum--more impressive or consolatory. In • this fortunate, but limited class of questions, we may assign a prominent position to that of the aboli tion of the slave trade. It will be remembered, no doubt to the latest posterity, that the voice of party hostility was hushed—that the enmities of political antagonism were suspended—when a Liberal Go vernment appealed to the British public for the most enormous money contribution ever tendered at one time, and by one act, as a voluntary oblation on the altar of human freedom. Yet even that costly offering of 20,000,0001., so confidently proposed to the English Legislature, and so promptly sanc tioned—and so freely and cordially conceded by the English people in 1833 was little more than we had already sacrificed in the same righteous cause, from the period of the first generous labours of GRANVILLE SHARPE, and CLARKSON, and WILBER• FORCE, to the commencement of the reign of his late Ma;esty King WILLIAM IV. The expenses of the naval force we maintained and employed, and the machinery we had to provide and set in motion for carrying out the stipulations of our treaties with va rious Powers on this subject; the cost of our staff upon the mixed commissions established in confor mity- with those treaties ; the cost of our Sierra Leone establishment, &c. &c., have amounted to an aggregate scarcely eonceivable by those who have not looked into the history of these proceedings ;—more especially from the date of the declaration of the Al lied Powers against the slave trade, at Vienna, in February, 1815; and in reference to our several con ventions with Spain, in 1817 ; with the Netherlands, in 1819 ; with Brazil, in 1828, &c. &c. We have perused, with less surprise than pleasure, the interesting statement submitted to the House of Lords on Thursday evening last, by the Earl of ABERDEEN, and the congratulations tendered to him by Noble Peers from all sides of the House, relative to the revised code of instructions which the Foreign Se !cretary has caused to be prepared for the instruc- tion of naval officers commanding her MAJESTY'S cruisers and vessels of war employed in the suppres sion of the slave-trade. Lord ABERDEEN, after com menting on the insufficiency of the existing "in structions" to officers on this arduous service —(it having been customary to supply them merely with literal copies of the various, original, and supplemen tary treaties relating to slave-trading, from time to time contracted between this country and other Powers, leaving to these commanders the responsible and difficult task of forming their unaided judg ment on the construction of the text in many difficult emergencies which, though varying by appa rently very slight differences of circumstances might be determinable in very broadly differing principles of national law).—pcpressod his unfeigned astonishment report on the Controverted Elections Bill was 're- at the general discretion, sagacity, and good sense with ceived. which our naval officers had acted in their reading of these treaties. The number of these treaties, he re marked, was not less than thirty ; and the revision of their various stipulations, powers, &c., and the draw ing up of the new code of instructions which it was thought just and expedient to found upon them, with a view to the better guidance of these naval officers, had been confided to Dr. LBSHINOTON, Judge of the Court of Admiralty, Dr. ROTHERY (a Civilian of Doctors' Commons), Captain DENMAN, R.N., and Mr. BARDINEL, of the Foreign-office, (so well and hodourably known for his reports and official papers in connexion with the slave trade). Their " instruc tions," after receiving the careful considera tion of Government, had been examined, amended, and confirmed by the law officers of the Crown, and were now brought forward for the information and sanction of Parliament. The speech of the Earl of ABERDEEN was remarkable for some points of peculiar interest, independently of their con nection with this question of slavery. In alluding to the satisfaction of her MAJESTY'S Government at the opportunity thus afforded them of making public the character and bearing of the instructions given to our cruisers, the Noble Earl administered this digni fied and calm rebuke to the suspicious petulance of our French defamers :—" Her MAJESTY'S Ministers," he said, "felt that, as they had nothing to conceal, this general publicity was desirable, and they felt that that would afford the best refutation of those calumnious and false assertions and accusations which had been made against the conduct of that country in suppressing the slave-trade—that under the pre text of humanity they really sought the extension of their own commerce, while they crippled and impeded that of other countries." In the short account be gave of the statistics of slave exportation from the coast of Africa, from 1768 (whence our first trustworthy accounts may be said to date) to 1843, we find the appalling statement that fur many years it averaged 100,000 annually ; and from 1835 to 1840, the same number to Brazil and Cuba alone. It had latterly much declined. In 1842, Cuba and Brazil included, it had fallen to 17,000, though in 1843 it had risen again to 36,000. Whilst he showed that during the enlightened and prosperous government of General VALDEZ for Spain, in Cuba, the slave importations had prodigi ously declined, owing to that enlightened officer, consistent discouragement of the traffic, he apprised the House of a very contrary policy, which we blush to record as having guided the councils of ESFARTERO during his tenure of all but supreme power in Spain. The whole passage is a remarkable one : " He had stated, on a former occasion, and he believed with truth, that had General Valdez remained in the g•overnment of the island, and continued to receive the support and confidence of the Government at home, the slave trade would have been annihil a t e d i n th a t island. He must observe that the Government of the Regent, although well disposed to the abolition of the slave trade, did not support General Valdez at the close of his ad ministration. On the contrary, he received very positive orders to relax in his endeavours for the suppression of that traffic." Lord ABERDEEN, we are glad to perceive, renders ample justice to the active co-operation of the naval forces of the United States with our own, in watching and repressing the trade on the coasts of Africa; and to the good faith with which France, and Portugal, in a remarkable manner, have lately been redeeming their engagements to us on this head. Of the duplicity of Spain, and the contumacy of Brazil, Lord ABER DEEN speaks in very intelligible terms of displeasure and reprobation. He intimates, too, a tolerably dis tinct purpose of compelling them, if they show a dis position to persist in their shameless violation of the faith of treaties, to yield to graver and more stringent ')owers than those of State papers, what they obsti nately deny,to the impulses of shame on their own parts, and the weight of remonstrances upon ours. Surely Spain forgets the precarious tenure of her colonial sovereignty in Porto Rico, and the Govern ment of Brazil must have forgotten what was the species of danger apprehended by that old Roman who successfully opposed the insidious proposition for registering, by a census, the numerical amount of slave population which then existed within the pre cinct of the Eternal City ? Both Powers may yet do well to note, deliberately, the opinions expressed by a leading Member of the British Government : " The change which had taken place in Cuba, and the conduct of the local authorities in Brazil, were topics on which ho was unwillinc , to express his real sentiments; but these Stat es should' recollect that we had treaties with them on that sulAject; that they had entered into engagements with us, and had thereby placed themselves under obligations as binding, as strong, as though they had ceded to us towns and provinces. We had achieved a conquest of humanity, and were as much entit!ed to enjoy the fruits of that conquest as of any other. Those treaties they must be prepared to fulfil, and he trusted that means would be found to see that they should be executed honestly and faithfully at last. He had no hesitation in saying that if the Governments of Brazil and Spain would,' for two or three years, execute faithfully, honestly, and zealously those treaties, the trade would be absolutely at an end." The Savings Banks Bill passed through Commit tee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. On the order of the day being read for the third reading of the Poor-law Amendment Bill, Colonel SIBTHORP gave notice that on Monday he would move that the salaries of the Commissioners be 1.0001. each, and the salaries of the Assistant-Commissioners be 4001. each. Some speeches were made on the motion for the third reading of the Bill, but they re quire no particular notice. The Bill was read a third time and passed. The Turnpike Trust Bill, the Joint-Stock Banks Regulation Bill, and some other Bills of less impor • tance, were read a third time and passed. The Merchant Seamen's Bill is to be committed on Monday. The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Nine. Just as we anticipated a few days since, when writing on the subject, the speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in reply to Mr. WYSE'S Education motion on Friday night, in the House of Commons, has had the effect of rousing the bigoted sensibilities of the Irish Orange party, and filling them with the most sombre speculations respecting the future course of policy that may be adopted by the Premier. The Dublin Evening Mail, which is the accredited organ of that meek and enlightened party, is quite furious on the subject, and discovers that the axe is already laid to the root of Protestantism, which must ere long fall in ruins to the earth. " The Protestant people of Ire land," says our Contemporary, "may for a moment doubt the evidence of their own senses, and hesitate to believe in the reality of their danger. But that moment's pause will seal their destruction. The power of Government will be brought to bear against their opposition; the timid will be frightened; the bold and conscientious frowned upon ; the vacillating cogently reasoned with ; the corrupt purchased; and finally the garrison, having been brought into public contempt, the citadel of Protestantism will fall an easy prey to its enemies." Here is a long catalogue of horrors, not an item in which but is calculated to set the hair bristling on the head of every Orange bigot in the sister country ! But the Mail's griev ances are by no means novel in their character, for our Contemporary has raised precisely the same cla mour, whenever any measure of more than ordinary justice and liberality has been suggested for the be nefit of Ireland. On all occasions of this sort— which, " like angel's visits," have invariably been " few and far between "—he has never failed to get up a cry of the "Church in Danger," and to assert that the whole fabric of Irish Protestantism is me naced with irremediable destruction. Thus he acted when Lord NORMABBY took the reins of Government, and the same when Lord FORTESCUE . was installed as Viceroy ; but despite his triste and noisy predictions, Protestantism has contrived to stir ive both ad ministrations, and will continue to survive ages after our Contemporary has ceased to write, and his readers to peruse, his gloomy va'icinations. If, however, for the term " Protestantism," the Mail will allow us to substitute the term " bigotry," we will grant that there is some ground for his apprehensions, for it is scarcely possible to believe otherwise than that a scheme of national education, such as Sir ROBERT PEEL seems to have in his eye, will inflict a " heavy blow and great discouragement" on the cause of Irish intolerance. But surely it is high time that this should be the case, and that an ulcer, which fur a long series of years has been preying on the national vitals, should be torn up by the roots ; and a chance at least be given to the sister country of gaining something like a healthy constitution ! There are no means by which this desirable result can so succesfully be arrived at as by education. Afford facilities of instruction to the middle and lower classes of Irishmen ; let their instruction be conducted on a liberal and enlarged system, without reference to particular creeds and schisms ; and from that auspicious moment, bigotry will cease to be the chilly, withering blight it has so long been to the energies of Ireland. Even as the morning sun dispels the unwholesome vapours of the night, so will the calm, steady, penetrating light of intelligence disperse the darkness of bigotry, more cheerless even than the gloom of the grave. That the Orangemen anticipate such an inevitable result from the system of education hinted at by Sir R. PEEL, is evident from the clamour they are now get ting up on the subject—a clamour which will most likely be chorussed by the high Protestant party in England, who have many strong points in common with their Irish brethren. But the Premier, we trust, will not allow himself to be scared from the path of obvious duty by the senseless ravings of bigots, whether English or Irish, but press boldly forward with his task, and not desist till he has brought it to a successful issue. He owes a heavy debt to Ireland, whose welfare he has neglected, i Madrid papers of the 18th have been received. One of these states that the QUEEN had signed a de cree for proclaiming martial law throughout Spain. The Castellano, without attaching much credit to the repoz t, says "we should prefer so an exceptional a state of things (which is necessary in an exceptional situation) to the singular and incomprehensible state in which we are, provided such a measure had an object beneficial to the country and were not adopted for the sole purpose of oppressing quiet peo ple." Such an act is extremely probable. NARVAEZ cannot halt between two opinions. He cannot at the same time act the despot, and allow the Cortes to de- liberate with freedom. During the ensuing elections, under the pretext of preventing disturbances, he may say it is necessary to give the mili tary full power. But the press also must be gagged or put down, and that process is in a fair way of being accomplished. Five prosecutions had been instituted against a paper, called the Monarquia, and the editor there announces that he must suspend its publication. Proceedings had also been instituted against other papers. It was said that M. PASCUAL INOLADA, former intendant of the province of Toledo, had been ar rested, and was to be tried as an accomplice in the murder of General QUESADA. The Three per Cents. were done at 261 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 191. Marshal BUGEAUD has fought another battle with the Moors near Ouchda, in - which they were com pletely defeated and driven into the interior of the country. A telegraphic dispatch received by the French Government on Wednesday, and dated from the bivouac of Sidi-Zaer on the 16th, announces hat the Marshal having been provoked by a fresh attack on the part of the Moors, routed and pursued them to the distance of three days' march beyond Ouchda. He returned on the 15th to the camp of Lala-Magrina. " All the tribes were offering to submit, even those which are situated on the territory of Morocco." These repeated collisions tend to show either that the Emperor of Monocco is not sincere in disowning the acts of the Moorish chiefs, or that they set his authority at defiance. Some of the French journals, indeed, state the latter is the fact, and that the influence of ABD•EL..KADEE is almost unbounded. It is to be feared, therefore, that the fleet must be employed to subdue these tribes, as an extensive barren tract, without water, lies between the frontier and capital, which entirely precludes the march of troops in that quarter. Nearly similar ac counts to those given in the telegraphic dispatch had been received at Toulon on the 20th. They declare that Marshal BUGEAUD was carrying on the war with great spirit, that he had again entered the Mooriih territory, and was driving everything before him with fire and sword. The Paris Siecle, after stating that the Marshal had no hopes of terminating the differences peaceably, adds : ‘• It is said, that after the affair of the 3d July he wrote to the Prince de Joinville to pray him to act immediately. The Prince is said to have weighed anchor on the ith from the roads of Mers-el-Keber, with the intention of commencing hostilities. Reflection and the fear of engaging his responsi bility, which is in fact great, or perhaps the information he received at Gibraltar, have modified the ardour of the young Admiral, who has proceeded to the Bay of Algesiras to await further orders. We have heard from authority, and we be lieve it, that a ship of war has been dispatched with instruc tions to the Prince modifying those brought with him from Paris, and several regiments. quartered in the south have re ceived orders to embark at Toulon. It is not probable that the Cabinet would incur such an expense if they thought it possible to avoid it. It is cavalry particularly that Marshal Bugeaud demands. Two regiments have been sent him, but our French horses are little suited to support the fatigues of a war in Africa, and no doubt this cavalry will be employed in the interior. In this manner the Marshal may dispose of 60 squadrons to enter Morocco, which will, no doubt, furnish means of remounting the men. For this reason Marshal (;)ILIt would pot sprint a substitute. go directs all the or- RDAY MORNING, .lULY 27, 1844 rations from his estate at St. Amand, where the dispatches are directed to him." Several arrests had been made at Neuilly, but no cause is assigned. Arrests are also said to have taken place at Lyons, in consequence of a discovery that the weavers had entered into an association for a general turn-out, and had formed depots of arms of a partial sort, with a view to an attack upon the authorities of the department of the Rhone.

L.B . MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—There has been a considerable increase in the number of deaths during the week ending Saturday, July 20, the num ber being 896, while in the previous week it was 831 —average 900. The increase has taken place chiefly in diseases of the first class called zymotic, among which are small-pox, scarlatina, diarrhoea, and typhus. The deaths from scarlatina were 72, average 39 ; diar rhoea 40, average 27 ; typhus 34, average 28 ; and from small-pox 37, average 11. The deaths from consump tion and inflammation of the lungs, and, indeed, from most others, are considerably below the average. Of the 37 who died of small-pox, 24 had not been vac cinated. The following is an analysis of the list of violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, five cases, of which 1 was by a carr i age , an d 3 b y falls ; wound, 1 case; poison, 3 cases, of which 2 were accidental, and 1 a suicide; drowning, 9 cases, of which 4 were acci dental, 1 suicide, and in 4 it is not stated whether they were accidental or otherwise; suffocation by foul air, 1 case; and " accidental" (an imperfect verdict), 1 case. Total 16 males (including 1 case put to tetanus) and 4 females. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

We are glad to find that the statement that has appeared in the columns of most of our contemporaries, that difficulties have arisen in the appointment of qualified persons, in the Dutch colonies, to certify the growth of sugars, the produce of free labour, imported into this, country, at the re duced rate of duty as contained in the new Sugar Bill, is without foundation. This was eli cited by a question put by Mr. Labouchere in the House of Commons last night, to which Mr. Gladstone replied that par ties duly qualified to give certificates of origin as to sugars ex ported from the Dutch East India Colonies had been ap pointed. There are not any late Colonial arrivals this morning. The public Securities ars again drooping. Consols have realised 995 to 994 for immediate transfer, and 995 to 4 for the Account.

J. C. and S. Stevens, King-street, Covent-garden. The col lection ads the last that had been formed by Mr. Hawkins, a gentleman not only well known for his researches in geo logy, but as having supplied the British Museum with a valuable collection of remains, similar, though highly supe rior, to those disposed of at the present sale. The prin cipal lots and their prices were as follows :—A magnificent specimen of plesiosaurus, measuring six feet two inches long by three feet five inches wide, in a strong oak case, 50/. Ba. ; a specimen, showing various portions of the ichthyosaurus, seven feet ong by four feet wide, 6/.105.; another specimen of the ichthyosaurus, nearly perfect, 8/. ss. ; head and verte brim of an ichthyosaurus, six feet six inches long by two feet five inches wide, in oak case, 5/. ; another specimen, showing head, one paddle, and various bones, five feet eleven inch es by two feet on e i nc h, 9/. 10 8 . Most of the above lots w ere purchased by membe r s o f the Geological Society. The to wn of Bonifacio, in Corsica, was thrown into consternation on the 10th by th e disappearance of M. Em manuel Ru, colle c t or o f t axes , a ged seventy-four, and one o f the most we a lth y men o f t h e can t o n. He went out i n th e morning with his agent to visit a fine property, which he possesses at Sanguillano, about half a league off. As he did not return in the evening, Madame Rtt became alarmed, and a minute search was made for him. At Sanguiliano his hat, cane, and riding -coat were found in the hall, as if placed there on his arrival. For four days the search continued, when the arrival of the agent explained the'whole affair. They had been both carried off by banditti, who detained M. Ru until a sum of 12,000 francs in hard cash should be paid down as his ransom. Should their demand not be agreed to, they threatened the most cruel treatment. Th e authorities were to assemble the next day to decide what was to be done.— SUMMARY OF NEWS AND iittbltt eptitton. " Who rime may read." rozziorir. On Monday afternoon the King and Queen of the French, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Orleans, the Count de Paris, the Dukes de Chartres and Montpensier, and Prince of Wurtemberg, accompanied by Generals Friant and d'Houdetot, Count de Strada, and two orderly officers, took an airing in the park of St. Cloud, and returned to Neuilly to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received the President of the Chamber of Deputies, the Duke de Fe zensac, the Marquis de Rochambeau, and Messrs. Culmon, Baumes, Yatry, and Tribert, Deputies. The King came on Tuesday to the Tuileries, and returned i❑ the evening. The Moniteur publishes a Royal ordonnance, stating that, from the Ist of September next, all lettres reconmendies (let lers which, instead of being thrown into the box, are shown to the postmaster, who enters the addresses, and takes them into his charge) will be received in all the post-offices of France, her possessions, subject to the following conditions : They are to be under envelope, with two seals, each in wax. The postage may be paid for or not as the senders may please, but in either no extra charge is to be made. It is distinctly stated that, although all possible care will be taken of these letters, the Government will not hold itself responsible in case of loss. A circular has been sent to the Prefects of the departments by the Minister of the Interior, recommending them to do all in their power for the relief of the indigent on the occasion of the fetes of July, and informing them that instructions have been given to the clergy to pay due attention to the religious ceremonies. Orders have been sent by the Government to several regi ments in garrison in the south, to embark at Toulon to join the army in Algeria. It is said also that a ship of war is about to sail with dispatches for the Prince de Joinville, mo difying the instructions which he received on leaving Paris. Mine. Bugeaud and her daughter have arrived at Toulon from Algiers. A letter from Modena announces the death of the First Minister of the reigning Duke, who is himself still seriously indisposed. The Independence of Brussels publishes the decree of the King of Prussia, dated June 24, by which, in accordance with ail the other states of the German Customs Union, he imposes, by way of reprisals, it would seem, for duties imposed upon German products in Belgium, additional duties upon Belgian iron, wrought and unwrought, imported into Prussia. The Independence estimates the new duties at 50 per cent. higher than those levied upon iron imported from any other country. M. Solon, an advocate of Montauban, having been ap pointed by the Pacha of Egypt to deliver a course of law lectures at Alexandria, letters patent have been granted for his exercising public functions in Egypt, without forfeiting his quality of a Frenchman. The Nuremberg Correspondent states that the working classes of Brood, in Bohemia, had risen en masse, and de• stroyed several factories. Troops had arrived, however, from the neighbouring garrisons, and no doubt was entertained of t he restoration of order. It appears certain, according to the same paper, that the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria will meet at the baths of Ischia; but, it is added, that the intended meeting is unconnected with politics. LAW AND POLXCE. At the Ipswich assizes two of the persons tried for arson ere tried on the 24th, and found guilty. The sentence on one was deferred, and the other was ordered to be transported for 15 years. The Exeter Assizes commenced on the 34th. There are twenty-two cases entered for trial, of which five are special juries. The calendar contains the names of fifty-eight pri soners; among whom two are for cutting and wounding, one for murder, one for manslaughter, one for horse-stealing, one for bigamy, and eight for the crime of arson ; the rest are, for the most part, accused of larcenies and other such offences. At Lambeth-street, Mr. Henry was engaged for some time in investigating a charge of a very serious and important nature, as respects the police force and the public, preferred against two constables belonging to the K division of police, named George Hailes, 54 K, and Edward Hawley, 209 K, for a violation of their duty in lawfully withholding certain moneys allowed for expenses to three witnesses in a case of felony tried at the Middlesex Sessions on Monday week. After a lengthened inquiry, Hailes was committed to prison for one month, and the other was discharged. George Gator, a policeman of the F division, No. 23, ap peared at Bow-street to receive judgment for the charge of assault preferred against him by the wife of Mr. Hogg, hosier, 73, Fleet-street, and which was fully detailed in The Sun of Wednesday last. Mr. Twyford considered the de fendant had been guilty of a gross breach of duty, and had acted in a manner so as to render it impossible to pass a light sentence on him. He fined him 31., or in default to be com mitted to the House of Correction for twenty-one days. The defendant paid the fine, and was immediately discharged. At Marlborough-street, Otto Feder, a young and rather good-looking German, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for having beaten Edward Wills, an Englishman, about his own age. The encounter occurred at Miss F. H. Kelly's theatre, in Dean-street, on the 16th of this month. After hearing the complainant by counsel, the defendant, and Miss Kelly, who addressed the Court in a fluent speech, Mr. Hard wick said, with respect to the charge, it had been proved that the complainant had used insinuations in the first instance, and had applied the term " liar "to the defendant. Being of opinion that a sufficient justification of the alleged assault had been shown, he should dismiss the summons. C01714 , 1 1 -WASEIXONAIMB. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge gave a grand enter tainment yesterday, at Cambridge House, to upwards of four hundred of the nobility. All the principal performers at her Majesty's Theatre were engaged to give full effect to the concert, which succeeded the dinner-party already an nounced. The Duke of Richmond, after attending the agricultural meeting at Southampton, proceeds to Goodwood Park, where preparations for the reception of company will commence on Monday next. Covers will be laid daily in the grand dining room for eighty persons. The Duchess of Richmond and the Ladies Gordon Lennox have already left Portland place for Goodwood. The Marchioness Wellesley and Miss M'Tavish intend to leave Rutland-gate, Kensington-gore, early in the ensuing month for Cowes, Isle of Wight, for the season. The Countess of Wilton, accompanied by the young mem bers of her Ladyship's family, left Grosvenor-square on Thursday morning, for the Isle of Wight. Her Ladyship re turns to town to-morrow, and will remain in London until after the grand banquet to be given, by the Duke of Wel. lipgton, on Wednesday next. The family will then finally leave town for the Isle of Wight. Lord Heytesbury, accompanied by his Secretary, Mr. -Won't, left Queen Anne-street on Thursday morning, at an early hour, and proceeded by railway to Liverpool, for Dublin Castle. His Lordship was to embark in a Govern ment steamer this morning, proceed direct to Kingstown harbour, and thence to Dublin, to take upon himself the ar duous duties of his new office. Lady Heytesbury is gone to Brighton for a short period, and will join her noble husband in the course of the ensuing month. Lady Georgians Bathurst, Sir Charles Wolseley, Colonel Benson, Captain Lochner, and Mr. J. P. Plumptre,; were among the fashionables that embarked at Blackwell Pier on Thursday morning, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho, for Antwerp. DeXISCELLAIVIEIOU'S.

Os. sd. ; and the interest allowed, 981. 16s. 3d. There were at the time mentioned 1,840 depositors. The Maidstone Farmers' Club resolved on Thursday last, after discussion, " That it appears to the members of this Clu at, in this district, it is most benefi c i a l t o th e commu nit large that arable farms should n o t excee d 500 acres i t t hi nt, nor be less than 250 acres." The City 9f London, new iron steam-ship, for Aberdeen, has performed one of the quickest passages on record.

It was a wonderful structure, above 150 feet long by 50 feet wide, the dome in the centre rising to the height of 50 feet. The interior was lined with scarlet and white draperies, fes tooned all round, confined by rosettes of the same colours. Suspended from the roof were some sixty chandeliers, which were of course lighted up at dusk, contributing to render the interior a gorgeous spectacle. The exterior was surmounted by several minarets, from which floated banderols. It was boarded throughout, for it must be understood that it was subsequently to be converted into a " salon de dance," and three tables, extending the whole length of the marquee, were arranged for the sumptuous fare. Above GOO persons sat down to dinner at the same time, so the magnitude of the marquee may be imagined."—Morning Herald.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having perused the various accounts given in your journal of the 22d inst., relative to the blow ing up and total destruction, of the John 0' Gaunt by the invisible shell, or some other most powerful agency, said to be invented by Captain. Warner, and considering the various opinions formed by able and scientific men as to the probable cause, I was, and still am, somewhat surprised that no allusion what ever has been made to the sub-marine boat invented some twenty-five years since by the celebrated Cap tain Johnson, who expended a good fortune, to his own ruin, in bringing to perfection this destructive machine ; and I believe, from what I have often heard him assert, that had the Government, at the time I speak of, rewarded him with a liberality commensu rate with his scientific skill, in 411 probability the sub-marine boat would have produced precisely the same destructive powers as the present invisible shell. I have heard him assert, too, that, on one occasion, after his repeated application to Governments for pe cuniary assistance had failed, that one of the Lords of the Admiralty, at that time, had hinted to him his doubts as to the destructive powers of his bog, His reply was, " Well, if your Lordship will please to take your station in any one of the largest ships we have, and try the experiment, I'll send both your self and her to hell in five minutes after, or forfeit my head." Now, without meaning or w i s hi ng t o d etract in the slightest degree from the merit due to this worthy and distinguished officer, whose scientific and wonder ful skill has brought to perfection another machine, so mysterious in its nature, and so awfully destructive in its power, as to fill with astonish men t an d won d er the assembled thousands who witnessed its effects, yet, Sir, I cannot help thir.king but that great merit was also due to the brave but unfortunate Johnson, who cer tainly deserved from his country (whatever might have - been his faults) a batter fate than that which I believe closed the latter period of his most eventful life; and in the sincere hope that the present Govern.. ment may seriously contemplate the immense im portance which the knowledge of this mysterious, secret may be to them in any future confiiet with the enemies of their country, and rewgre, the present possessor on a scale adequate to its importance, I remain, Sir, respectfully yours, J. C, Belle Vue-terrace, Southsea, Hants, July 2% 1644. TO THE EDITOR QF `'HE SUN.
