A more gratifying display of skill has pro bably on no previous occasion been made. The ground, as upon the proceeding days, was yesterday well attended by the nobles and gentry of the land_• At the close of the game. on Tuesday evening the Rivet* had lost seven of their wickets in the second innings, in 131 runs, and yesterday morning they added but 19 more, th 4 number making, therefore, 141. The gentlemen ware ac.; cordingly put in for 144 to win, and as they commenced AS innings, they bid fair to get them ; for when they had lost two of not their best wickets, they had scored-21. Mr. A. Mynn, however, lost his wicket without a. at m,. and Mr. Taylor for three, whilst Mr. W. Mynn, whose left hand is still very bad, wasremoved for eight only. There were thus five wickets down for 27 runs. Mr. Kynaston succeeded Mr. Taylor, and, with • Mr. Anson, arrested the havoc which had thus far set In. The former scored 30, thus contributing 64 to the general total, and. the latter 16. Mr. Fredericks was bowled for two.; but• Mr.- Pickering. with his usual beautifully elegant play, tarried out • his bat with 20 ; whilst Capt. Latour made, 2, and Mr. Spencer, with fine hitting, 7. The total was 105, the gentle. men thus losing by 38 runs.

The racing this afternoon, if not so prolific of Pro duce and other valuable Stakes as on Tuesday, lacked neither quantity nor attraction, and in one event—the Goodwood Stakes— gave full scope for the talents and industry of the book-makers, less so perhaps than usual,. but enough, to create excitement, and make it, as a bet- - ting race, -the principal feature of the meeting. The Stewards' cup, a rich and beautifully executed record of an affecting incident in the life of Prince-Llewellyn, was also the source of a good deal of speculation ; but from the superior importance of "the Stakes," and the non-publication 'of the weights until late on Tuesday evening, was not touched upon until the numbers of the respective starters were telegraphed. It brought out a field worthy of the subject, and of the popular steward ship from whence it was derived. The Queen's Plate, the Cowdray Stakes, the Matches, and an abundance of heats, served to make another long day of it, and to in crease-the general regret that such varied and excellent 'sport should have been witnessed - by a company that, however fashionable, was deficient in numbers. The weather, although boisterOus, was fivourable ; the ground in good order for running, the time admirably kept, and the general arrangements on, and in the neighbourhood of, the course, oh the same comprehen sive here that the de ectiv e nature of the preparations at and satisfactory the rareVam station for the conve y ance o f p assengers , Flan as last year.

The in teresting- ceremony was performed by the venerable Arch bishop of York. There were present besides the Archbishop the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and the bride's brothers and 'sisters—namely, Lady Caroline and Lady Constance Gower, the Marquis of Stafford and Lord Francis Gower; Lord and Lady Blantvre, Viscount Morpeth, Lady Mary Howard, Lady Dover, Visconnt Clifden, the Hon.

The happy event called forth much joy and strong public demonstrations in the neighbourhood, among all classes. There was a large dinner to the tenants and friends at the Trentham lim, and another at Newcastle-under-Lyme, con sisting of the gentlemen and tradesmen of the town and vicinity. Nor were the scholars of the public schools or the poor forgotten ; all were liberally regaled. Long will the day be remembered at Trentham.

This Office is provided with very accurately constructed tables, by which it can assure unsound lives on equitable terms. Similar tables enable the Society to grant increased annuities on unsound lives, the amount varying with the particular disease. Members of consumptive families assured at equitable rates. Healthy lives are assured on lower terns than at most ether offices. The first Life Assurance Society eommenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persona who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, .and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly ; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be. tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that mere than one.third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva. lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart, tec., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The Caine thing will be found to hokl , good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second po:nt to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to Ise carefully considered. The real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations are founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi. dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been app.ied to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the fluctuation was only 74 per cet,t., and in live diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of tie more important diseases was 6 , 1 per cent. RIDING HABlTS.—Ladies are invited to in spect those made by Messrs. NICOLL, Habit-makers to the Queen and most of the Ladies of the Court. Cards may be had at 114, Regent-street, London. Messrs. Nicoll offer moderate prices, as a further inducement to a orrect fitting habit, The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor. tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as t. many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience e one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duration of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, viz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun. try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this--the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cont. nearly; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expectation of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference 'Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former case is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in fluenced by external circumstances. It hence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select lives and the population gene. rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be less. To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance cffice, it i may be stated, that supposing the number of lives n a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths; on the other hand, an office assuring only diseased lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the risk of aasuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one.fifth. Thi s f ac t i s hi g hl y i mportan t to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctiees of the principles on which it is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and other published documents of the Society, which may be ob tained on application at the Society's offices. t. U. r, NEISON, Actuary.

NEW SOUTH WALES. (From the Sydney Morning Herald.) The fifty-sixth anniversary of the foundation of the colony of New South Wales, was, according to custom, held on the 26th of January last, with a splendid re gatta. A grand entertainment was given on board the General Hewett, of 1,000 tons, the flag-ship on the occasion. The ladies and gentlemen invited on board were about three hundred, comprising the elite of our colonial society. His Excellency the Governor, and Lady Gipps. with their suite, and the Bishops of Aus tralia and Tasmania, were amongst the company present. We read with great pleasure in the speeches of his Excellency, and of Mr. Benjamin Boyd, the chairman, much to give confidence as to the favourable turn which the affairs of the colony have taken.

The horses were started by Lord George Bentinck, and got off in the most perfect style imaginable, nothing that we could see having the slightest advantage. The running was made by Physalis, followed by Hashed Venison, Sir Abstrupus, African, Poison, and several others, all keeping in perfect order, and without any change of position for the first half mile; ; Sir Abstrupus then took up the lead, and, with African' laid up at his quarters, carried on the running until within half a dis tance of home, when his follower closed with him, and, going right away from their horses, they ran a slashing race to the chair, Sir Abstrupus winning in the last stride by a head.

Match, 300 h ft. One mile.—Mr. Ongley's Rodereck 5 yrs, 7st 51b, received from Mr. Gregory's Vitellius, 4 . yrs, Bst 111bs. The vessel's gun-deck formed a splendid saloon. There were three rows of tables, at which there was accom modation for 200 persons. The chair was taken by Ben jamin Boyd, Esq., supported by the Governor and Lady Gipps. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr. Born said the next ho had to propose was the hea'th of Sir George Gipps. At an early age his Ex cellency was a brilliant ornament of the profession to which he belonged ; and when peace threw her mantle over the world, he soon obtained employment in that de partment which, more than any other, is connected with the commerce of the country. lie soon, however, left the Admiralty, and was employed on one of the most delicate missions ever sent out by Great Britain. After such an education, was it surprising that his Excellency was selected for the government of this colony when a vacancy occurred? Sir George Gipps might well be proud of his position; he owed it not to the adventitious circumstances of high birth, but had won it by his own talents, his own assiduity. They must all be aware how his Excellency's measures were connected with, prosperity of the colony. When the convict system sass done away with, he saw that the broad acres of the colony must remain in their original state if there were not a copious stream of immigra tion, and in consequence of his Excellency's arrange ments we have seen argosies loaded with thews and sinews from the mother country, coming to develope th. colony's resources. Are we to give way because there has been depression deep and bitter enough to many —because a cloud has passed over us ? Under such circumstances we are too apt to throw upon others that blame which belongs to ourselves. He believed, how ever, that the cloud was passing away. We were now developing the resources of the country, and if these resources be properly managed, we shall soon be inde pendent of the mother country. Give us immigration, give us population for the interior—that is what is wanted. As had been well observed by a reverend writer, " Let us pledge what we may, we cannot pledge our climate ;" and a climate such as this which we enjoy actually alters the face of penury itself. Compare the state of a pauper in a London December and one in thi, colony. We have here plenty of food, and even in the worst of times no man need starve who chooses to be in dustrious. But we must look to the future- 7 -he believed they would unanimously say the bright future ; acd as he had said before, he anticipated that before his Excel lency left, the colony would be in a flourishing state. He would not talk politics, but he could not help remarking that Sir G. Gipps was elected to his present office by the Whigs ; and there was no doubt that the Tories, when they came into power, would have been glad to have filled up the office ; but they did not do so, be cause they could not find a man better adapted. With out any reference to Whig or Tory, he believed the Governor was a man determined to do his duty, and when he retired, however persons might be opposed to particular acts, he was sure that all would agree that he left office clean-handed and perfectly free from corrup tion. Ile proposed the health of his Excellency the Governor. Drunk with three times three, and one cheer more. The GOVERNOR thanked the meeting for the manner in which they had drank his health, and Mr. Boyd for the way in which he had proposed it. He could assure them that no one had a greater desire to see the colony prosperous than he had—no one could more devote himself to the promotion of the interests of the colony than he had done. He had a peculiar pleasure in meeting those he saw assembled around him ; some thing was wanted to cheer us, to dispel the gloom which had so long hung over us, to infuse into us mirth and merriment, which Mr. Boyd and his colleagues had sue ceeded in doing. It was a satisfaction to him to see that the foundation of the colony is considered an event worthy of commemoration ; that we are not ashamed of our origin ; that we, the colonists, do not consider that the colony has been a failure ; that those as sembled before him, persons from all classes, who might fairly be considered the representatives of the colony, did not think that the care bestowed on the co lony in its infancy had been thrown away. We have undergone some hard knocks of late, but he saw before him the strength and vigour, and, he would add, the youth and beauty before him, that would carry the co lony on. As a colony, we are yet in our infancy; we are like a young giant, anxious and ready to run our course, and to struggle vigorously in pursuit of success. The health of Lady Gipps was given and duly ho noured. The GOVERNOR acknowledged the toast, and proposed the health of Mr. Boyd and the other stewards. Mr. Born expressed the gratification he and his bro ther stewards felt at seeing so many happy faces around them. He had no fears ,for the prosperity of the colony. Necessity has compelled us to discover an export which, before 1860, he fully expected would equal the present amount of our exports altogether. A number of toasts were given, and after dinner qua drilles were danced on the quarter-deck until dark. The Governor left the ship about a quarter-past six, and was saluted with three cheers. A more pleasant and comfortable day was never spent than by those on board this noble ship. WEST INDIA PlNES.—Another ship arrived at the St. Katharine's Dock yesterday, from the West Indies, with a cargo of pine apples, and at the request of the importers, the Customs authorities permitted the discharge of the ship after the legal hour, until dark last night (Wellnesday), to prevent the cargo from becoming damaged, and in order that the fruit might be got into the market with all possbile dis patch.

THE GRAVESEND STEAM - BOATS.—The new by laws and rules about to be passed for r egu l at i ng the number of steam-boat passengers accordi ng to the tonnage of the different vessels, h av e excited considerable alarm among the rival steam-boat companies at Gravesend, who will be compelled to increase their prices, in order, if possible, to make up for the losses that must ensue upon the intended limitations in the number of passengers. It was the over crowding of the boats on Sundays that made up for the every- day losses. HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT'S APIARY. —Five tastefully-constructed bee-hives (in addition to two others which al-rived at Windsor last week) of American manufacture, in the for of castles, were brought to Windsor Castle, yesterday morning:', by the patentee, by order of Prince Albert, and placed in his Royal Highness's Apiary, at the Royal Dairy, in the Home-park; th e P r i nce hav i ng ex pressed his desire of devoting his attention to the rearing and culture of this useful and profitable little insect. By an uni form temperature which is kept up in th ese hi ves, t h e b ees are preserved throughout the winter, providing at the same time effectually for the health of the colony, and allowing the surplus honey to be taken in the purest state. nated, and the result goes to show that Ireland never was so free from crime, and criminals, as at the preiett moment. In every instance the judges have testified to the geacasWe state of, tha country, and in very many of the most populous Coun ties their Lordsliiiis had literally nothing to yen_ Tip perary—once so horribly pre-em i nent i n crime=l7ll—ve from criminals; and Clare, once the head-quarters of the Terry Alts, has only one case of manslaughter on the calendar. In the West, the " Going Judges" have gone " a pleasuring" on Circuit. The assizes of Mayo have terminated three full days sooner than was anticipated. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held this day at the Conciliation-hall. The Rev. J. Tierney, P.P. of Clontibret, late traverser, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, on taking the chair, said he believed there was no necessity for him to make a profession of politi cal faith. Ile was one of those who had the honour of being found guilty on the 12th of February of keeping the peace, and it was for the Government to say why he had not the honour of being a martyr also.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. KELLY, the new Member for the city of Limerick, handed in a sum of money from that locality, and in doing so, said he would not have the honour of being among them that day, but for the fact of his having understood that Lord Heytesbury intended to put down the Association.— (Hear, hear.) When that report reached him, he considered it to be his duty to attend in that room, and share any re sponsibility that might attach to the proceedings of the As sociation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN then referred to Lord Wicklow's letter to the Association ; and, after a rapid review of the Ministe rial polig, read the reply of the Committee of the Association to the oble Lord. Mr. GORDON then rose to bring forward his motion relative to the agitation of the repeal question in Parliament, when he was interrupted by Dr. NAGLE, who said Mr. Gordon had given no notice of his motion. Mr. GonHoN said he had. Dr. NAGLE—Your notice was forfeited, as you did not bring forward the motion on the day fixed. Mr. GORDON said he had saved his notice by writing to Mr. S. O'Brien. Mr. D. O'CONNELL, jun.—ln that letter you did not require your notice to be saved. Mr. S. O'BRIEN believed Mr. Gordon had saved his notice, and that he had a right to be heard; but he would put it to Mr. Gordon whether he would not abandon his motion, when he knew it was wholly against the wishes of the Committee. Mr. Gordon could promulgate his opinion through some other channel. Mr. GORDON would be happy to adopt that course, espe cially as it was recommended by Mr. O'Brien. He then went on to observe on the necessity of adopting a line of conduct similar to that recommended in his notice of motion, for it was idle to think they could bully or cajole the people of England.—(Tremendous confusion ensued, in the midst of which one of Mr. Gordon's neighbours offered him ss. to sit down; the money was immediately handed in to the Secre tary, and Mr. Gordon having found it somewhat difficult to obtain a hearing, resumed his seat.) Several large sums of money were handed in, and after the transaction of some other routine business, Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Wyse for the manner in which he brought forward their petition in re ference to the State prosecutions. The rent amounted to 1,0001. SIR COLMAN O'LOGIILEN. The following favOurable report appears in the Clare Journal of yesterday :—" It will be gratifying to the friends and admirers of Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Bart., to learn that he is now fast recovering to convalescence. He laboured under a severe attack of bilious fever, brought on by his assiduous attention to the case of Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers, during its progress in the House of Lords." MURDER IN ROSCOMMON—RESPITE. Yesterday, Mr. Malone, the under-sheriff of Roscommon, received a respite for Catherine Bryan and Bridget Langan, who were to be executed to-morrow, in pursuance of sentence passed upon them at the late assizes, by Baron Lefroy, for murder. The respite extends only to the 7th of August, on which day the sentence must be carried into execution, should no further respite be granted. It may be well to remind our readers that the charge against these wretched women was, that Bryen poisoned her husband, and when lie was dead, procured the aid of her sister (Langan) to bring the body outside the house, where they cut the throat with a razor, which they placed in the hand of the dead man, to lead to the inference which was drawn by the coroner's jury, that he committed suicide. However, in nearly a year after, a party implicated mentioned the facts, and the body having been disinterred, some portion of the poison was found in it. The jury who tried the case recommended the prisoners to mercy, but Baron Lefroy refused to transmit the recommenda tion to the Irish Executive. SHOCKING CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA. The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains the following:— "Painful indeed is our duty to announce the death .of Dirs. Delacour, the second victim to this fearful malady in one family, within the short space of five months. The sad death of the young and graceful girl, the first victim, excited ge neral horror and consternation ; but who can describe the feeling with which the announcement of the second death will be received by the public ! For more than five months the terrible poison lurked in the veins of this amiable lady, until it at last manifested its presence in that horrible agony which heralds the dissolution of the sufferer." A cosrespondent of the same journal, writing from Mallow on Sunday, says :—" An account of Mrs. Delacour's death has reached town. She fell a victim to that dreadful malady against whose ravages science has, as yet, discovered no antidote—hydrophobia. It appears that the little dog which caused Miss Delacour's death, about five months since, licked Mrs. Delacour's face at that time ; and she since had a horror of the fatal disease." Mr. Edmond Murphy, of Mount, in the parish of Clon digad, has been fully committed to the county gaol, charged with conspiring to attack the habitations of Major Ball and F. B. Rosslewin, Esq. The alleged offence occurred some months ago. This committal has occasioned much surprise in the country.—Clare Journal.

THE LATE THOMAS HUDSON'S FAMILY. _ The concert announced to be given for the benefit of the widow and family of the late Thomas Hudson, the well known author and singer of comic songs, took place last night in the Princess's Concert-room. It was under the patronage of the Duke of Cambridge and nearly all the Civic authori ties. Flattery cannot soothe the dull cold ear of death ; such an offering to Thomas Hudson would be as ill-timed as it is useless. It may with truth be said that the sallies of his ini mitable wit and fancy never provoked an angry feeling, even for an instant ! Like Yorick's, Thomas Hudson's songs and flashes of merriment have set the table in a roar a thousand times. With many other children of genius, however, his was a wayward fortune. At that period of life when successful, though less gifted men, think of retiring from the stir ring scenes and strife of a money-getting world, poor Hudson found himself beginning anew. Buoyed', up by the promises of friends, and backed by his own well-known excellent character and popularity, he embarked in a busi ness of all others one Which demands unwinkiug energy, a robust constitution, and experience ;—he became " mine host " of the Kean's Head, in Ruisell-court. Here he lost nearly all he had; a van load of his best furniture and a five-pound note, to use his own expression, being the whole that was left to him. Other distresses might also be men tioned. The concert last night was a proud testimony to his worth, and it no doubt will gratify the feelings of the near and dear relatives he has left behind him , hs much as it will be beneficial to them in a pecuniary sense. Nearly all the available talent at present in the metropolis came forward on the occasion ; among the vocalists were many of , Mr. Hudson's old friends ; the list comprised the natesAf Miss Lucombe, Miss Dolby, Miss Lanza, Miss Willi s,' lets. W. H. Segi4in Miss Thalia Andrea, Miss C u bit, Mi. R o bi nson, Mr. Bliegvetve (violin), Mr. W. H. Seguin, M. Leopold de Meyer, M. Aloscheles, and Mr. Holmes (pianoforte), to gether. with Mr. C. Horn, Mr. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Chatterton (harp), Mr. Richardson (flute), Mr. Sedgwick, and Mr. Re gondi (concertina), Mr. Ransford, Mr. Sporle, Mr. Edney, Mr. Louis A. Emanuel, &c. The.pieces were well selected with a pleasing alternation of grave and gay, vocal and in strumental. Mr. John Parry in the course of the evening was also at his post with a new song, " The Polka explained" written by Albert Smith. Such a laudable entertainment is beyond the pale of criticism, suffice it, therefore, to say, that the Committee of Management—all of them friends of the deceased—had every reason to be satisfied with the result of their exertions. FARM LABOURERS IN NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sim,—For years past I have given you facts relative to the progressing condition of the farm labourers, farmers, land lords, and parsons of this district. I know you have some times thought the picture a little overwrought, and you have occasionally remarked, with great propriety, that if such scenes of oppression were of common occurrence, the working people would have assuredly broken out into some open acts of hostility, as the result of such suffering. The forbearance of the farm labourers has been most exem plary, for if you were correctly informed o f b u t a h un d ret h part of the ills inflicted upon them, through the game-laws, the poor-law, both the old one and the new, the stringent covenants laid upon the farmers, the increased tithe under the commutation system, all finding their way to the poor in the shape of increased privation—instead of wondering at the present state of the Suffolk calendar, on which you have remarked in an excellent leader of Saturday, you would be surprised that it had not long since been double what it now is. But my purpose to-day is only to notice, with one or two, practical expressions, the following sentence of the article in question. .You remark that "out of thirty prisoners charged with arson at Ipswich, fifteen cannot read or write, and, with great pro priety,‘ ask what the parochial and district clergy have been about ?" and "where in this statement there is any evi dence of those incessant, all-important, and spontaneously administered efforts, enlightening and instructing, informing and guiding, the minds of their flocks ?" You may well ask these questions ; but the present state of the district may be as clearly traced to the times which have begotten such events, as the fact that night succeeds to day. In the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk there are 1,370 parishes, to each of which there is apportioned a voting parson, and yet the Education Commis sioner, Mr. Freemenhan, reported Norfolk to be the most ignorant of English counties ; while you may rely upon! it Suffolk is not a whit behind he r neigh bour in similar ignorance ; but how should it be otherwise ? The clergy of these counties have their time occupied as country gentlemen, in attending to the business of magis trates, poor-law guardians, game-breeders, and sportsmen, and particularly to keeping the registration lists in good con dition. There must of necessity be a few honourable excep tions to this kind of State-paid priesthood, but as a rule, they are the class under whose discipline the present race of rick burners have been bred. Couple this with the conduct pur sued against Dissenters by the clergy, within the Arch deaconries of the Venerables, Bathurst, Glover, Oldenshaw, and others, and you will not be surprised, that with the greatest number of such teachers, there happens to be, in these counties, the greatest amount of this most awful kind of crime—the result of gross ignorance, accompanied by savage disappointment, degradation, and hunger. A system of covenants, game-laws, and tithe 3, which drives the farmer to pay, and the single man to accept for the same labour half the sum which his married younger brother, with a family, receives, kindles in the breast of every member of that family, a flame, which on the first opportunity comma nicates with the farmer's stack-yard; and under the super vision of a priesthood that leaves one half of the population in total ignorance, and the remainder with the least possible instruction, what result ought you to look f or , other than that you have ? Such people do not fear punishment ; and in proof of this, I am credibly informed, by an eye-witness, that there were two fires within sight of Ipswich, while the judges were there trying the unhappy people who had been charged with the crime. You have by this time seen the result of the Ipswich Assizes, and the opinion offered, in the presentment of the grand jury, that low wages have had nothing to do with the crime of arson,—while the opinion of the great mass of the people is, that until equal wages are paid for the same work, there will be no hope, or reason to expect the fires will cease. I am, &c., July 29, 1844. A FRIEND OF EDUCATION. TEE IDENTIFICATION OF BODIES FOUND IN THE RrvEs.—At an inquest, held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey on the body of a young man, who bad not been owned, but was supposed to be one of the unfortunate persons drowned at the recent accident on'the river, the jury wished to know if the coroner had not the power of ordering a descrip tion of the person, the clothes, and such things as he might hpre in his possession, and likely to lead to the discovery of 'Ms friends, to be advertised in the morning papers. Mr. Carter said he had no funds for such a purpose, and it was seldom the parish would go to the expense ; but he was strongly of opinion that there ought to be some general re gistering office for the description of the persons and clothes -of all persons missing or found ; and he thought no better place could be had than the police-station in Scotland-yard, where one officer would be sufficient for the duty. The ex pense would be but trifling, and, in most cases, the relations would pay any moderate charge. In Paris there was an establishment to which all persons found dead were taken (La Morgue) ; but he thought a registry, giving the descrip tion of the bodies and clothes, would effect all that was desired, and every one could go and ascertain if a lost friend had been discovered ; or, if not, state the description, when information could be sent to them of the finding of the body. The jury fully concurred in the suggestion thrown out by the Coroner, and observed, that as the police were paid by the public, the trifling expense of one man for such a purpose ought not to weigh for a moment when such a vast good would be effected. _ BRIGHTON, JULY pl.—The vessel destroyed by Capt. Warner, off the coast, was washed ashore last night during a stiff south-w( stgale in the presence of several hun dred spectators. She was Observed to float about three o'clock in the afternoon, and as soon as all her ballast was washed out of her, she separated into several pieces, and fragments of the wreck drifted down channel past the chain pier. The wreck was an object of great curiosity to thou sands; and numbers of persons, who had witnessed the de struction of the vessel, collected small fragments to preserve as relics. The sea beach was strewed with her timbers, and a hundred persons at least were in the water at one time en deavouring to secure portions of the vessel which they fan cied they might take away at pleasure. Since the vessel was sunk, a small boat had been placed over the wreck, with a flag flying, to warn vessels of the danger of approach; and we believe, notwithstanding the apprehensions of Captain Pechell, that not the slightest accident has happened by any contact with the hull of the John o'Gaunt. The fishermen were informed that they might possess themselves of any portions of the wreck they could procure, but whilst they were in the act of carrying away a portion of the timbers, the Coast Guard stopped them. Two of them, bolder than the rest, refused to comply with the orders of the Preventive men, and suffered themselves to be taken before the magis trates, who, on their promising not to repeat the offence, discharged them. The wreck of the John o'Gaunt was com plete, and must have convinced the most sceptical, had they seen the shattered vessel scattered about in all directions on the ocean, of the extraordinary power of Capt. Warner's in vention. Even Sinbad's ship, of which we read that every staple and nail was drawn by the magnetic power of the rock, could not have' fallen to pieces more easily than theoh o'Gaunt under the operation of Captain Warner's ex plosive power. • present.

Last night, a little before nine o'clock, a collision took place off Woolwich, between the City of Canterbury steamer, on her passage to London, and the Railway steamer, from Blackwell, on her way to Gravesend. Neither vessel being provided with lights, they came into direct contact, which caused a severe crash, producing a perfect consternation among the passengers of both boats. Owing to this untoward event, the engineer of.the Gravesend vessel was compelled to let off his steam ; but .finding that no material damage had ensued, after a considerable delay the steamer recommenced her journey. Both the figure-heads were broken off. The Leith steamer left her moorings at London-bridge yesterday afternoon for Scotland, but had only proceeded as far as Woolwich when she ran aground; every endeavour was made to get her afloat again, but without success. In this dilemma the passengers determined to make themselves as comfortable as under the circumstances could be expected, but they could not leave until one o'clock this morning, is consequence of want of water. The steward of the Vesper, Gravesend steam-boat, yester day afternoon, lying off the Town-pier, while in a state of maddened intoxication, jumped from the vessel into the river, immediately sunk, and was drowned.... STATE OF- TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) ' The market was in a healthy state yesterday, with a good business doing. There was a fair demand both for yarns and goods, which the spinners and manufacturers are at present scarcely able to supply. Yarns commanded prices a shade higher thanlist week, and goods are also scarce and in fair demand, with prices gradually hardening. 7-Bths printing cloth has, in' some instances, obtained a slight advance on last week's prices. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 29. There has been an excellent demand for flannels to-day, es pecially for the coarser qualities, which have been rather difficult to meet with. The manufacturer is getting some small advante in price, but not equal to the advance - in the raw material. Wool continues in good demand, at firm prices. The harvest has commenced very generally in the south of England, and even the spring crops, such as oats and barley, have turned out better than was expected. Some winter-sown oats have proved very productive, and the crop has been already housed in some places in excellent condi tion. Where the harvest is not yet commenced, the late splendid weather has advanced the crops so rapidly, that the utmost exertions of the husbandman and the employment of all the hands he can command, will be required to gather it speedily in. DEATH BY FlRE.—Yesterday evening Mr. Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital, on the body of Mary Leonard, aged 40, whose death occurred under the following dreadful circumstances :—Mary Cooke, of No. 20, Charlotte row, Rotherhithe, stated that deceased lived in a small cot tage at the back of witness's garden. She was a married woman, and had several children. About eleven o'clock on Monday morning last, witness smelt a strong scent, like that of something burning near the house. She went out to ascer tain the cause, and at last discovered smoke coming from under the tiles at the back of the cottage in which deceased lived. Witness went up to the cottage, and looked in at the door, which was partly open, on doing which she saw de ceased lying on the rug before the fire, with her clothes nearly all consumed. She was lying with her hands before her face, as if to keep the flames from her eyes. She was moaning and rolling about from side to side in great agony. An alarm was instantly given, when the neighbours came to deceased's assistance, and extinguished the flames by throwing water over her. She was subject to fits, and it is believed that at the time the accident happened, she was seated on a block before the fire. Deceased was conveyed with all speed to Guy's Hospital, where she died ch the f e ilmip g Verdict...." Accidental death." PLAYERS. Hillyer, cA.

BRUSSELS, JULY 27.—Count de Murde, son of Count F. de Murde, officer in the regiment dente, has obtained permission to go to Algeria, to take part in the operations of the French arms against Morocco. The journals have announced in rather mysterious terms the arrest of two or three strangers, whose projects had been discovered by the police. The following are the particulars: —Three or four weeks ago an Englishman of dignified man ners announced that he was come to settle at Brussels, and to establish a banking-house, which was to discount on a great scale, and to offer new facilities to the merchants, es pecially in the numerous transactions between Belgium and England. The young banker wanted a fine house, one of the mansions in the Rue Royale4obtained.the preference, and the tenant set about furnishing in proper style the seat of his financial institution. Being recommended by persons of greatwealth he obtained in one of our bazaars the richest hangings, the choicest furniture, giving in exchange' notes signed by several Englishmen already residing in the city, which he said he had discounted to begin his operations. The police, however, had been informed that this English-, man was not the person whose name he had assumed, and by further inquiry they discovered the existence of ociety for speculating on the purses of capitalists. The police entered the sumptuous mansion in the Rue Royale and discovered a number of letters displayed on the desk of the financier, and addressed to all the greatestablish ments and to the principal bankers of the kingdom ; these letters were blank pieces of paper, carefully enclosed in en velopes sealed with the seal of the new house. As for busi ness or funds there were none, and it appeared that the cunning intruder had obtained from some of our countrymen a quantity of goods, which he had immediately sent to England, and for which he had given bills, of exchange of no value whatever. The furniture had also been disposed of; an auctioneer had been sent for, and it had been sold in bulk, when the interference of the police pre vented the realisation Two of the accomplices of the bank have been arrested at Brussels, and it is thought that ha will not escape the police in a neighbouring town, where be was waiting for the fruits of his rogueries. BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The King and Queen and their.chil dren arrived at eight in the morning, and immediately pro. ceeded to Lacken. Letters from different parts of the kingdom announce that much damage was done by the storm on the 26th, in the evening. _ BRU9SELS, JULY 30.—The Commerce Beige publishes the Royal decree, by which the Government withdraws from Russian ships the assimilation to the national flag, and the right to the reimbursement of the Scheldt toll.

I re paired to the parish churchyard of St. Ann, Soho, to select a spot for the interment of her remains. The parties in at tendance placed in my hands a scale of prices for the different grounds. I gave instructions to the undertaker to arrange the affair with the proper authorities, On Thursday he paid for the ground in question being broken, and for digging the grave eighteen feet deep, which cost 11. for extra depth, the accustomed dues It: Is., and the going into the church 2s. 6d, making in toto 21. 4s. 2d. ' • the same was paid t o t h e par i sh clerk in the vestry in full of all demands. On Thursday the grave was commenced upon, and no notice was taken of the matter further till the Sunday following, at half-past eleven A.M., as the funeral was to take place at half-past two rat., when the clerk abruptly demanded a further sum of 195., stating that the ground was the best ground; and calling on me while the parties were preparing, for the funeral, be stated, - that unless the 19s. were paid immediately the corpse would be stopped at the gate. Ile at the same time refused to take the money himself, and further said that his servant at home was not kept to receive moneys on the parish ac count, but added that it might be dropped down the area of his residence. It was afterwards arranged that the 19s. should be paid on the Monday following, July 30. The funeral, consequently, took place, and the money was proffered, by the undertaker to the clerk, which was received, and a re ceipt given. The case is generally known throughout the neighbourhood, and has created much sensation.—LThis Cor respondent forwards his name and address. The statement is most extraordinary; and, assuming the particulars to be correctly represented, we imagine the parish will deem it due to its own honour, to provide not only indemnity Air the past, but better security for the future.]-44dver9er: ANOTHER MURDER IN NOTTINGHAM..--NOTT I N G . HAM, WEDNESDAY.--Scarcely had the Judges of Assize left Nottingham, after leaving a fellow-creature, with his days numberedfor the savage crime of murder, than another case, involved in the greatest mystery, has occurred. On Monday morning, the inhabitants of Finkhill-street and neighbour hood were all astir and busy with tales and conjectures, as to a female of the name of B ur to n h av i ng cause d her husband's death by administering poison to him. The population of Finkhill-street consists of the lower orders of society, and the street itself serves as a link to connect the park and the meadows, running down by the side of 'St. Nicholas's Church. The excitement occa sioned by such a tale had the most singular effect, crowds being collected round the house, so that the police had much difficulty in keeping the people from entering. Michael Browne, Esq., the Coroner for the town, summoned a jury to investigate the particulars of the case, the same after noon, and they met at three o'clock. The evidence adduced was to the effect, that the deceased's wife had repeatedly threatened her husband, and behaved in the most violent and cruel manner towards him, and several witnesses dis tinctly swore that she had declared she would give him an inch of cold steel, and that she would poison him out of her sight. It was also proved that on Friday week, in the afternoon, deceased's wife sent for a pennyworth of arsenic and soap, as she said to kill bugs with ; but, although the soap was found, the arsenic could not be found, and it is believed she administered it to him, as he died in great agony, and much contorted. He was taken ill on the fol lowing Monday, and' expired on Monday last ; but no medical man was called in by his wife, and he was unable to move. The jury, after hearing all these particulars, wished to have a post-mortem examination of the body, and the Coroner accordingly . adjourned the inquiry till Tuesday, to allow of an examination by the medical faculty; but the body had decomposed so rapidly that it was with much diffi culty the examination was taken, and the Coroner and jury meet again to-night to decide on their verdict. There is no doubt it will be " Wilful Murder," as the evidence of arsenic in the body has been clearly detected. The family of burglars recently apprehended at Staleybridge, were examined on Saturday before the magis trates of Ashton, and remanded. There aro upward. of twenty serious cases against them. The persons at first appre ahnendde Samuel,wer were 0 Peggyns; Swan, the moth er; J ames , G eorge , J o h n , Peggy, a daughter ; Mary Ann Hartley, a married- daughter, and her husband, Robert Hartley. John Swan, the father, was apprehended on Thursday.—Man chester Guardian.

Mr. Chatfield and fancily, -the Hon. Mr. Kennedy, and Sir Francis Doyle, were among the passengers that embarked this morning at Blackwall Pier, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho, for Ant Fl werp. • RE LAST EVENING.—At about half-past seven o'clock last evening, a fire broke out on 'the extensive pre mises of Messrs. Brocksopp and How, of 233 and 234, High street, 13orough. The fire originated in the engine-room, to which place, by the opportune arrival of the engines, and a plentiful supply of water, and manual assistance, the damage was confined. As might be expected in so crowded a thoroughfare, the greatest consternation prevailed for some time. UNITED MEXICAN MINING ASSOCIATION.—Yes terday the half-yearly meeting 'of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. In the absence of Sir John Easthope, Bart., through illness, the chair was taken by James M'Killop, Esq., when the report was read by mine fr9m. of flißis t ßivas, was w th as e to l t r a . l ik p la ro th du er ce t f h o e r s th ec e re y t e a a r r y . 1843 I t 358,000 dollars, against an outlay of 205 ,851, thus leaving a a fr p o p m e a r t e h d e clear profit of 152,149 dollars.
