FIRST CHURCH-RATE CONTEST AT UXBRIDGE. The town of Uxbridge has just been agitated by a sharp contest upon the vexatious subject of church rates, being the first contest of the kind ever known in that locality. A church-rate having been proposed at the vestry, a counter-amendment was proposed by Mr. Henry Hull; and seconded by Mr. Wilkinson, which the Vicar, the Rev. Mr. Price, in defiance of the customary Usage, refused to submit to the meeting. Upon a show of hands, the rate having been negatived by at least two to --me i ; a: poll. -wus .4emaided, w)iich jork plaee.on Monday and Tuesday last, accompaniedby the peculiar features of a• Parliamentary election under the old boroughmongering system ; the pro rate party having recourse to the most unscrupulous bribery, treating, and intimidation, in which, it is to be regretted, some of the most influential gentry of the neighbourhood took a conspicuous part. An adjourned vestry was held yesterday, at the Baptist Chapel. when the numbers were announced by the Vicar :—For the rate 178, against it 174. Mr. Hull denounced the mode by which the rate had been carried, and the calumnious hand-bills circulated against its opponents, more particularly the Society of Friends. He protested against the obnoxious manner in which church rates had hitherto been levied against that body, goods having . been taken from himself to the value of 241, in satisfaction of a rate of the amount of 101. Mr. Wilkinson stated that, notwithstanding there was a majority of four votes in favour of. the rate, there was, in fact a majority of fourteen voters against it. An Anti-Church and State Association was formed in the town the same evening ; and it has been determined to make the illegal proceedings by which the rate has been carried a subject of judicial investigation.

SUM ME R EXCURSIONS. 'Tis pleasing to mark 'mid the public diversions The parties who travel on "Summer excursions." Such pleasures are daily becoming more rife, With persons of various stations in life. Nor need we remain at a loss fo- a reason, Why people eejoy themselve , thus at this season. The reader will see that the business is done By the choice simmer garments f MOSES and SON. An astonishing saving attends them, and hence, Many thousands enjoy themselves free of expense. Nay, be not mistaken ! When gentlemen come, They gain by the clothes no " contemptible" sum, But enough to partake of the pleasures of life. With a friendly companion, a sweetheart, or wife. No wonder the steamers are c , owded each day, With ladies arid gentlemen, " drest fine and gay." No wonder the railways are so overrun, When we think of the savings by MOSES and SON. Let all who are anxious to share the diversions Which at all times attend en the " Summer excursions," No longer delay and remain in the lurch, But patronise MOSES, ri ht facing the church. One entrance at Eighty-six Aldgate is found, And one in the Mileries, a little way round. But we need not inform you, for sure there are none Who know not the warehouse of MOSES and SON.

LORD LINCOLN AND THE WOODS AND FORESTS. Yesterday a General Meeting of the Subscribers to he above fund for giving a dinner to those pensioners of Greenwich Hospital who served under Nelson, upon the occasion of the inauguration of the Nelson column in Trafalgar-square, was held at Willis's Rooms, King street, St. James's, to enable the Committee to explain to them, and the public generally, the reasons why the en tertainment had been so frequently postponed, and also to take the subscribers' opinion and wishes as to the manner in which the money should be appropriated Sir Edward Codrington was called to the chair, amidst loud applause, shortly after two o'clock. -'The lion, and Gallant CHAIRMAN sail the object of this meeting was to show to the subscribers that the Committee had done everything which lay in their power to carry out the wish of the public ; and, in proof of that assertion, he would state as briefly as possible the steps which they had adopted to carry out the inten tions of the subscribers. The first meeting of the Com mittee was on the 10th of November, 1842, when they got the cordial permission of Sir Robert Stopford, the Governor of Greenwich Hospital, for all those pensioners who had served under Nelson to attend at the dinner on any stated day. The next step was to gain the sanction of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests ; and upon a communication being made for that purpose to Lord Lincoln, he expressed much pleasure in affording every facility for the contemplated fele, as it met with his cor dial approval. As it was found that the state of the ground would not admit of the dinner being held upon the day then fixed, it was determined to postpone it to the anniversary of the battle of Copenhagen, the 2d of April, 1844 ; but a letter from Mr. Barry, the architect, stated that the interior of the square would not be in a sufficiently forward condition for the dinner to take place there. In consequence of this, the Committee, hearing that it was intended to remove the hoarding, ad dressed a letter, on the 26th of April, to Lord Lincoln, reminding him of his promise, in November, 1842, to which his Lordship replied that his promise was de pendent upon the dinner taking place last autumn, and that the square could be kept shut no longer. The Committee, after this, determined to fix the dinner for the 24th of May, her Majesty's birth-day ; and, upon this occasion, Lord Lincoln said he could see no objec tion to the square being appropriated for the dinner upon certain conditions, the principal of which was, that the Committee would make themselves responsible for any damage done to the asphaltum pavement. In con sequence of this :promise, advertisements were issued, stating that the dinner would take place on the 24th of May ; but, upon the 17th, a letter was received from Lord Lincoln, stating that, owing to the defective condi tion of a portion of the square, he felt bound to withdraw his permission. This letter was received after many contracts had been entered into, and the Committee, put to much unnecessary and useless expense. Another application having been made to his Lordship, he stated, in reply, that the contemplated dinner was disapproved of by the Lords of the Admiralty ; but if a letter was brought. from their Lordships, he would re consider his determination. The Gallant Chairman waited upon Lord Haddington, who distinctly denied that the Lords of the Admiralty disapproved of a dinner, and wrote a letter, in his private capacity, to that effect. To obviate another professed objection of Lord Lincoln; and leave him no excuse, the Messrs. Maude, the contractors for laying down the asphaltum, stated that, if any injury was caused to the pavement by the dinner, they would (as it would be painful to them to stop the festival) repair it at their own expense.— (Cheers.) Those two letters being communicated to Lord Lincoln, he still refused to assent, saying, as a pure matter of police, he thought it unadvisable to have a public dinner in an open space in the heart of a large metropolis. This latter objection was answered in two ways—first, Colonel Mayne, the Police Commissioner, said he had applied to Sir James Graham, and taken steps for the preservation of order; and next, he (Sir Edward Codrington) felt convinced that every Englishman who had the naval honour of his country at heart—there were few who had not— would have kept order himself. The Hon. and Gallant Chairman then went minutely through the de tails of ad that had occurred with respect to Parliamen tary discussions respecting the erection of the Nelson column, and said that soon after the close of the last war, a sum of 200,0001. had been voted for such pur poses as this, and had not as yet been expended ; and, therefore, he thought there was a claim upon this fund for as much as would have finished the pillar. He had now stated all he knew, and neither he nor the Commit tee could possibly tell the reasons for Lord Lincoln's conduct, for every one of the objections which he had urged had been subsequently removed. In conclusion he begged of any gentleman present, who was a subscriber, to suggest some proposition for the disposal of the sum of money which now lay in the treasurer's hands, which, after the deduction of incidental expenses, amounted to 347/. BefOre sittinc , down, he should state that Admiral Sir Robert Stopford had suggested, in a letter to the Committee, that the money in hand should be either paid over to the pensioners, or funded for their families. Mr. WILLIAMS said he attended on the part of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, to suggest origi nally that it ought to be appropriated to some charitable institution ; but he (Mr. Williams) might presume to say, that he was sure his Grace would at once coincide in the proposition of Sir Robert Stopford. It was then agreed that the money should be funded for the benefit of the widows and families of the pen sioners for whom the dinner was intended. After which the meeting passed a cordial vote of thanks-to the Gallant - Chairman, and separated. , COACH A6CIDENT.—As we were preparing for press last night (Thursday), we received information of an accident of a very distressing nature, which occurred by the upsetting of the coach running in `connexion with the steamers to Edinburgh. It appears that the coach was re turning to Stirling by the Carse-road, with the passengers who left Granton-pier by the evening boat, and while at a sharp and precipitous turn of the road, that part termed the " fore coach". broke away, and the coach (which was quite full), after running for a short distance, upset. The conse quence, we regret to state, was, that one gentleman, Mr. Jalllay, farmer, Skeoch, was killed on the spot, and several other individuals more or less severely injured. Another coach was instantly dispatched, by which the sufferers; to whom every,kindness and attention were paid, were con veyed to Stirling: So far as we have been able to ascertain, not the slightest blame attaches to the driver; and, from the care and attention paid by the company by whom this coach is 'conducted, in providing everything calculated to avert accidents, and to insure the safety of passengers, we are in clined to believe that this melancholy event has been due of those occurrences which no skill could avert, nor the most solicitous prudence foresee.—Stirling Advertiser.

DEVONPiniT, • WEDNESDAY EVENING.—A court-martial was held this day on board her' Majesty's ship St. Vincent, for the trial of Lieut. E. E. Gray, late commander of her Majesty's brigantine Bonetta, on the following charges, framed in consequence of the complaint of the French Go vernment : Ist. For disobedience of orders on the coast of Africa, on the 4th of July, 1842, in causing the French vessel Luiz d'Albuquerque to be detained and searched, she having at the time displayed the proper colours indicating the nation to which she belonged, and no sufficient cause having existed for suspecting such colours to be false ; and he, the said Lieut. Edward Evans Gray, not possessing the necessary. French warrant to authorise his searching and detaining French vessels. 2d. For neglect of duty in not stopping the search and ordering the searching party to return immediately to the Bonetta on ascertaining the said vessel to be really a French vessel, as indicated by her colours. 3d. For neglect of duty as commanding officer throughout the said transaction, evinced by his permitting a case of wine and other articles to be received into the Bonetta from the said French vessel, without having ascertained that due pay ment had been made for the same ; by not having taken due precaution to prevent the general want of discipline reported to have been shown by the officers and crew of the Bonetta, who had been put on board the said French vessel, and by not punishing a man belonging to the Bonetta who had been detected in taking away cigars from the said French vessel. The Court was composed of Admiral Sir David Milne, Pre sident ; Rear-Admi r al Si r S amue l P ym, C apta i n R . F. Row ley, Captain Burgoyne, &c. The case for the prosecution having closed, the Court called upon the prisoner for his defence, who requested that he might be allowed until Th urs d a y t o prepare it. T h i s was acceded to, and the Court adjourned until ten o'clock next morning. - - MEMORIAL TO THE LATE MA DAME SOYER, THE CELEBRATED ARTIST. Tie Ailaugmtatipn of a sp lendid raoa;lnent, erected to the Memory of Mid4l6 BOyer ' ivlfosd hame . rs so hitimatelk cot nected with the genius of Art, took place on Sunday, before a numerous and distinguished party, at Kensal-green Ceme tery. The design, which is quite new, is by M. Soyer, her husband, and reflects the greatest credit upon that gentle man, who is so well known at the Reform Club. It consists of a pedestal, about twelve feet in height, surmounted by a colossal figure of Faith, with her right band pointing to wards heaven, and the left supporting a golde n cross . At her feet, lightly floating upon clouds, are two cherubims, the one holding a crown over the head, and the other presenting a palm to a beautiful medallion of the deceased ; the latter executed in white marble, and surrounded by the emblem of eternity. A palette and brushes, embellished with a wreath of unfading laurels, is gracefully placed beneath the medallion. M. Puyenbroack, of Brussels, one of the prin , cipal sculptors to his Majesty the King of the Bel gians, has added to his fame by this new example of his talent. Although the figures of the monument are larger than life, so light and elegant is their construction that the observer might almost fancy they were leaving this terrestial sphere, while the cherubims, poised upon the ascending clouds, convey such an idea of buoyancy that one is led to believe that the heavy and solid stone (like the pure and eternal spirit of her who sleeps below) had taken its departure from earth, and was following that shade whose memory it was erected to perpetuate. We are informed that the palette and brushes, with the laurel and her initials, were sketched by the lamented artist the morning previous to her death, she being then in perfect health; while the medallion is from her portrait by M. Simoneau, her father in-law, and only master. Amongst the party present at the inauguration we perceived the fair Cerito, bestowing upon the shrine of her sister artist a wreath Funeraire, made from a crown placed upon her head in La Scala, at Milan, before several thousands of her coun try people. Such feeling impressed all with the highest re spect for that fairy child of Terpsichore, and deserves a dis tinguished place in the history of art. The wreath, together with the palette of the artist, will be placed in a glass case, and fixed at the back of the pedestal. The inscription upon the pedestal will be simply the words "To Her," without any addition whatever. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE. Each succeeding Ist of August, brings with it this old established and interesting boat race, on which the very popular musical farce of The Waterman is founded, and that of yesterday, in speed and style, was su p er i or t o many t h at. have preceded it. The prize, as the public must be aware, is a coat and badge, bequeathed by Mr. Thomas Doggett, a famous comedian, in commemoration of the happy accession of the family of her Majesty to the throne of Great Britain, to which has been added, by the will of Sir William Jolliffe, the interest on 2001. South Sea Stock, amounting, on the present occasion, to 4/. 7s. 6d. for the second man, and 2/. 12s. 6(1. for the third. The competitors, as usual, were young watermen whose term of apprenticeship had expired since the last year's race; and there were upwards of 40 eligible on the present occasion to contend, six of Whom were chosen about three weeks ago by lottery. The distance has been from time immemorial from the Swan at London-bridge to the Swan at Chelsea, five miles, against tide—far enough, it will be admitted, to try the prowess of any man. The start took place about half-past four, in the presence of a very large assemblage of persons, many of whom, despite the heavy rain, had been awaiting it for some time. Frederick Lett ...........Lambeth William Wengate Battersea 2 John T. Sebree Christchurch William Towson Hungerford Thomas Savage Alderman Stairs 5 Frederick W. Jones Whitehall 0 Lett, who is four or five and twenty years of age, but was bound late, has signalised himself as a young man of very considerable pretensions, and was backed to win the race at 2 to 1 against the field. Humanity has, of late years, suggested an alteration in boats Used in this wager, and in stead of the ponderous working wherry, wager boats have been substituted. The men being in readiness at high water were started in the slack, and all got away very prettily together, there being no advantage worth speaking of in their stations. They were all scull and scull for a few yards, and then Sebree led, Wengate being second, and Tomson and Lett abreast of each other, and the other pair keeping good company about a yard astern. The work on all hands was very pretty, and 'Lett was about to mend his position on nearing Southwark-bridge, when in consequence of the wash of the steam-boats, and a barge coming down in the course he was rowing, he was obliged to unship one of his sculls, and came right alongside the craft spoken of and became last. The other five men were but a few yards apart, Wen gate leading, Sebree being second, Tomson third, and Savage almost level with him. Lett having got comfortably to his work again, rowed in the most beautiful style, and after pass ing four of his opponents, came up to the leading man near Blackfriars-bridge. The struggle lasted but for a few yards, when Lett went in advance and drew away from his opponents without giving them a chance, and arrived first at the distance post full a quarter of a mile ahead of the whole party. Wengate and Sebree retained the position they had been in, and al though all the men rowed with great spirit and made their appearance at Chelsea, save Jones, who resigned soon after the start, the winner was too fast for them, and hail it all his own way.

MARRIAGE OF LADY LEVESON GOWER AND TILE MARQUIS OF Lonx.—The Post of to-day - contains a long and elaborate account of the gorgeous proceedings that took place on Wednesday, at Trentham, in honour of the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Duke of Sutherland with the only son of the Duke of Argyll. The whole of the festivities appear to have been conducted with a degree of splendour in every respect worthy of so distinguished an. alliance. On the day previous to the ceremonial, Mr. Battan, the chief artistic de signer of Messrs. Copeland and Garratt's establishment at Stoke, waited on Lady Elizabeth, and presented to her Lady ship, in the name of the firm, a very elegant dejeuner service, consisting of a porcelain tray and the usual appendages. The service is extremely beautiful, affording a satisfactory proof of the advanced state of the art, and was graciously accepted by he Ladyship. SIGHT AND HEARING TESTIMONIALS. 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY. - General Browne Clayton feels desirous to express the comfort and advantage he has derived at his advanced age of 70 years, and after two years' trial, from the use of Messrs. S. and B. Solomons newly invented Spectacles. Their valuable inventions fully merit the patronage they hare received. Address, Adlington-hall, Lancashire. 'Major-General Sir Howard Elphinstone begs to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomms as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and advantage from their use, far prefer able to every other kind of glasses. 13, Norfolk-street, Park-lane.—The Hon.

RAILWAY.—As the Engineer coach, which connects with the mail-train at Lancaster, and travels northward from that town, was descending a declivity about one mile on this side of Milnthorpe, on Tuesday evening last, one of the leaders fell, causing immediately the fall of each of the other horses. The coach was thus suddenly s t o pped, and several of the passengers, of whom there were many on the coach at the time, were precipitated to the ground. Fortu nately no serious injury was received by a ny of the passen gers, although the horses suffered severely.. Mr. P. Barker, coal-merchant, of this town, was among the passengers, but was only slightly injured.—P r eston Guardian. On F r id a y last, while Mr. Mossley's omnibus was on i ts way from Mac clesfield to Leek, and about half a mile from the latter place, the horses proceeding at a rapid pace down the hill, the vehicle was violently thrown against the rock or wall, in turning the curve about the middle of the hill. The pass en _ gets were thrown off and out, and several very seriously in jured; the omnibus was overthrown, and from the force of the concussion was found several yards from the wall, on the other side of the road. There were three outside and two in side pass engers. The driver is stated to ha ve b een intosi cated at the time. • IRON ;AND COAL IN AUSTRALIA. —Iron ores seem to he so plentiful in Western Australia as to have attracted the notice of the settlers in a variety of places, and to have drawn out speculative inquiries as to the possibility of work ing the mines and subjecting the mineral to the manu facturing process by the agency of wood fuel. The Govern ment, it is said, have offered a reward of 2,500 acres of land to any . one who shall discover coal ; but the more urgent operations of the settlers have hitherto prevented any attempt being made. We readily admit the importance of such a discovery as that of coal, and could wish that the go- Vernment of this - province were empowered' as well as inclined to encourage the finding . so valuable an addition to our available resourc es ; but,-m our opinion (whilst we have such stores of forest Wood),-it is not indispensable to the produc tion of good iron from oar own rich mineral.—Australian Journal. There is a man down in Frog land who is such a tremendous hater of monarchy, that he will not wen wear a crown to his hat GOODWOOD RACES.-YESTERDAY. The ordinary, or, properly to designate their excel lence, the extra-ordinary attractions of the Cup-day, were this year enhanced by the addition to the list of some valuable play or pay stakes for two yrs old, making, • of this class alone, no less than five races, and swelling the total into a round dozen. The new engagements, from the probable influence their results will have on future events, excited considerable interest, and were calculated to promote speculation ; the Cup, however, was the grand, the absorbing event, with that numerous class to whom a race without " betting round " would be almost a dead letter ; in spite, therefore, of the prestige that ever accompanies the appearance of Alice, Ilavrthdrn, - and of the 'different flekl opposed tether i ts few horses recommended teithat useful body, " the public," by the allowances— . --not by any known merits, were taken into favour ; and thus speculation, without at all approaching an ;amount likely to alarm those who imagine that betting is detrimental to the stability of racing as a national pastime, was kept up with some show of spirit to the last. The importance attached to this event was shown in the rank and greatness of the attendance. Disregarding the showery weather, thousands flocked to the course from all parts of the country ; special trains, super nuinerary coaches, busses, and every other variety of equipage that the means of some and the ingenuity of others could make available, contributed to increase the throng, and to give to the most picturesque course in the kingdom an animation and splendour that sets our feeble powers of description at nought. With such a crowd, some jostling and confusion was unavoidable in the narrow approaches to the Grand Stand, and an occasional crash gave unwelcome evidence of unskilful or careless driving; but on the whole the exertions of Superintendent May and his colleagues (Inspectors Pearce and land, and Sergeant Langley), were successful in preserving toler able order, and preventing any serious accident. In a previous report ire gave the names of the distinguished personages that composed the party invited to partake of the hospitalities of Goodwood House during the races; all, we believe, • but Prince William of Prussia, Earls Spencer and Chesterfield were present this afternoon. In addition, we observed Lord Dorchester, Lord South ampton, Lord Andover, Lord Longford, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord C. Manners, Lord Edward Russell, Sir George Houston, Sir M. Farquhar, Sir W. Codrington, Sir Charles Cockerell ; Hon. Ad m i ra l P ow l ett , Hon. Captain Boyle, Hon. ABerkeley, Hon. Captain Stanley; Colonel Wyndham, Colonel Hornby, Major Udny ; Messrs. Cockerell, J. Mills, Clive, J. Bayly, Magennis, Bowes, Brand, Phillimore, Cavendish, Wigram, Palk, Calley, Towneley, Oliver, King, Worrell, Higgins, Shelley, Gratwieke, Sloane, Stanley, &c. The first race in the list was run at half-past twelve o'clock; the other events followed in quick succession till five o'clock, up to which time our report is made, leaving two or three races for the next dispatch.

Plaudit jumped off, with the lead, and made all the running to the distance, when it was taken up by Refraction, Nutbourne, who had been lying off, taking the second place ; at the Stand he went up, ran with her to the last two or three strides, and won cleverly at last by a neck ; Plaudit a bad third. This race was run in a drenching shower. Match, 100 h ft. Cup Course. Lord Maidstone's Larry M`Hale,4 yrs, 12st 51b(Owner) 1 Lord G. Bentinck's Capt. Cook, 4 yrs, llst 51b (Owner) 2 The betting began at 6 and 7 to 4 on Captain Cook, but before starting, had changed to 5 to 4 on Larry WHale. The running was made at a slow pace by Larry Wilde, Captain Cook waiting on him to the bot tom of the hill in returning, where he made an attempt to get up, but failing, was pulled back, and nursed for a rush, which, if not successful, was made with so much skill and resolution, as to bring him within a neck of Lord Maidstone's horse at the finish. The appearance of Lord George Bentinek on the pig -skin, after an interregnum of many years, was hailed with loud cheers from all parts of the course. Both Noble Lords were fined for being behind time—an offence attributable, no doubt, to their anxiety to avoid a shower that paid no respect to rank.

Betting 3 to 1 on Alice Hawthorn, 12 to 1 against Prizefighter, 14 to 1 against Ashtead Pet, and 20 to 1 against any other. Cameleon took the lead at starting, followed by Ashtead Pet for a few strides, and after wards by Alice Hawthorn, the others, with the excep tion of Antler, who ran out at starting and lost several lengths, lying up. The lead remained with the French horse to the turn, where the old mare took it from him, and went on at a good pace, followed by Ashtead Pet and Antler ; and thus they ran to the hill in returning, where the mare's two followers made an ineffectual at tempt to reach her. The Ara then took the second place, but without approaching the mare, who went on at an improved pace, had it all her own way, and won, hard held, by three lengths. Prizefighter, who was third at the foot of the hill, caught the .Ara a few yards from home, and beat him half a length for second. Antler was a bad fourth, and the others beaten off.

The spirit of d T iscontent and H of riot which, as des. cribed .by us a fortnight ago, had -already flown like wildfire from Silesia to Prague, has since spread and raged destr uc ti ve l y. Scarcel y' were the outrages of the cotton-spinee rs and printers of Prague re pressed by the soldiery, when the workinee on the railroad near the. city caught the infection. - --This is the statemeut from Prague itself:—"Towards the evening of the Bth of this month, from 6,000 to 7,000 workmen on the railroad, who were also dissatisfied with their wages, collected tumultuously. They at tempted to penetrate into the city by the Spital-gate, but, as was to be expected in the present temper of the lower classes, they found it closed. The military Who were dispatched against the lawless crowds were received with showers of stones, which wounded Many of the soldiers, and the excited grenadiers, it is said without having received any command, fired on mob. A not inconsiderable number (no- number is given) were killed and wounded, many innocent people amongst them, whom curiosity or chance had led to the scene of combat ; and in particular a little child which sate on a table in the back room of the ground floor of a house in the Karolin enthal. The military closed all approaches to the gate, and kept their ground till late in the night, when the mob dispersed; In the meantime, in the city, another concourse of the worst classes of the populace had run together, and traversed the city in various directions with loud outcries, and dashed in windows and knocked to pieces the booths in the Jews' market. A great number of these depredators were seized and flogged, but again the following day they assembled in great masses, and cooled their wrath by the destruction of some thousands of window-panes. • Bloody as was the' result of this outbreak, the de struction of property was nothing to that' which had taken place on the &l in the neighbonrhood of Rei chenberg, the great manufacturing district of Bohe mia. In the morning of that day a strong troop of the workmen collected at Katharinaberg, on the black Niesse, three miles north-east of Reichenberg, before the farthest factory on the Niesse, and commanded the workmen there to join them in destroying the new spinning machinery by which so many people were become destitute of bread. The troop -thus swelled advanced now down the Niesse from one fac tory to another. All the hands were compelled to join them. As in the factories on the Upper Niesse there were . found no new but nierely the old sort of machines, the mob passed quickly on, without doing the.- slightest injury to buildings or machinery. When the'tliron& arrived at • the factory a Ilers Stephen Konig, an Ilabendorf, it had swollen to some hundreds of men. Here were first found some of the new machines (bread-thief machines, as they call them). These were not yet fully erected. They dragged them into the meadow, and in a moment they were a mass of ruin. Hence the throng betook itself through Machendorf, where a machine was destroyed in the factory of the bleacher Herr Ohnesorgen, to Hammerstein, where they presented themselves 600 men strong. In the great factory of Sigmund, Newhauser, and Co., five new machines were totally destroyed and flung into the water. The workmen suffered no injury; the rest of the machinery and all otherproperty re mained untouched. The swarms thence ascended the great Niesse to Rosenthal, to the factory of Herr Gin zel ; broke open the doors, destroyed from thirty to forty new machines, dashed in the windows and tore the frames from the walls. The looms with the yarn were rent to pieces, the wool thrown into the water, and in an hour's time three great weaving rooms were thoroughly ransacked, and not a thing was left stand ing except the walls. The loss is immense. The mob then took its way towards the factory of the Herren Liebig and Co., in Josephinenthal ' • but the rumour of the riot had no w s p rea d w id e . Three companies of soldiers were sent off from Jungbunzlau, three from Prague, and the regiment of Lord Wellington, in Theresienstadt, had order: to dispatch a battalion. In the meantime, the town-guard of Reichenberg had marched out, and after a stout close fight with - them had succeeded in dispersing them a n d t a ki ng a goo d many prisoners. As we predicted, great is the excitement and iscussion which these outbreaks have occasimed in Germany. The Government. Commissions which have sat, have declared in their reports that dis tress and want not work are not th e causes o f them, and do exist. These, again, are con tradicted by the newspapers, and the repeated reduc tions of the rate of wages are referred to as evidence. Unfortunately, no rate of wages is given by any party by which we may judge, but if these bear any rela tion to that of the linen-weavers, ls. 6d. for 120 ells, there is no mystery about the matter. Others, again, charge the Seehandlung, or Government Association, for buying up goods and selling them for_the pro fessed advantage of trade, with adding tg.-the mischief, and actually adding to the competition against the native manufacturers. In the Cologne Gazette it is stated that not only have the linen merchants in Berlin petitioned the King for the abolition of this Seehandlung, but that similar ones are preparing from the Rhine country, and it is added that near Solingen, a great manufactory of cast steel knives, forks, and scissors has been erected by this Association, to the destruction of the same articles in welded steel ; all parties, moreover, arguing loudly for an advance of the duties of the Zollverein, as we foresaw, and for sending out able ambassadors to North America and the Brazils, to draw close the mercantile relations be tween Germany and these countries. It'is declared that by the present tariff yarns ready prepared and sized for the weavers, to bring them to which state two-thirds of the whole labour and cost are required, are admitted as common yarns, all which cost of labour flows into the British pocket ; and as regards American fields of exportation, it is asked whether the Germans are really aware of the vast extent and popur lation of Brazil and Mexico, and that the United States contain themselves 113,800 geographical square miles ? These are questions which we, too, must ask ourselves ; they are doubly significant now that these agitations force them, so vividly on the minds of •our German manufacturing rivals.—A aas. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY. - The Queen and Prince Albert walked this morning in the pleasure. grounds of the Castle. Her Royal Highness the Princess Alice was taken an airing to day.. The Chevalier Bunsen, Prussian Minister arrived at the Castle, from town, in a carriage-and-four, at one o'clock, this afternoon. His Excellency had an audience of his Roy al Highness Prince Albert, and, after lunching at the Castle, took his departure on his return to town. The Hon. Miss Hamilton and the Hon. Miss Stanley have arrived at the Castle, and have succeeded the Hon. Misses Paget and Liddell, as the Maids of Honour in Waiting on her Majesty. The Hon. Colonel Grey has relieved Colonel Buckley in the duties of Equerry in Waiting on the Queen, and Major General Wemyss has relieved Colonel Bouverie in the duties of Equerry in Waiting on Prince Albert. ller Royal Highness the Duchess of - tient took a drive in an open carriage this afternoon from her resi dence Frogmore Lodge. In the afternoon the Queen and Prince Albert took an airing in an open carriage. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness returned to the Castle at half-past six. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards attended dur ing dinner at the Castle yesterday. Her Majesty's private band afterwards attended and performed the remainder of the evening. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Keate, left town yesterday morning fur Brighton, and returned to Cambridge House in the evening. . Tho Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yes terday morning, at ten o'clock, at the Council-office. The Lords present were the Lord President of the Council, Sir Edward Hyde East, Sir Edward Ryan, Dr. Lushington, Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce ; and Mr. Pemberton Leigh. The case of "Shumsoonissa Khanum v. Raj. Jan. Khanum," from Bengal, was partly heard. HER MAJESTYS THEATRE. An overflowing house assembled last night to greet Cerito on the occasion of her benefit. She is one of the chief favourites of the public, and none are more entitled to their favour. From her first appearance at her Majesty's Theatre, she carried away the votes of all its frequenters -,and remark able as were her first pas on our Italian stage, every year she has appeared since that time s h e h as presented in her dancing striking "improvements—and, what is still more maintain se d the by h i youthfulgh e.l p osi tio n buoyancy— n v ra e pl. t H a n er d e dancing ssenti al is to & ar aer unaffected grace. - Marvellous as 'are her feats they betray no effort—each step appears unpremeditated and the offspring of the inspiration of the moment — and so devoid of sameness that they are unforeseen.. Dancing generally addresses itself to the senses, and not to the understanding, and.t.he value of such dancers as Cerito is, that they throw into the shade allless com mendable attempts in the art. Their influence is like that of 'the unrivalled romances of Walter Scott, which at once ba nished from circulation the grosser novels that previously usurped public favour. The entertainments of the night, besides all the favourite pas of Cerito and of Fanny Elssler, included the whole of the Barbiere, and the last arena of Lucia. In the Barbiere, Fornisari was much indisposed, but did not betray it, either in his acting or singing ; Grisi, who ' appeared as youthful-in person as in her voice ; Mario, in one of his most triumphant inspirations; and Lablache, at each • moment convulsing the public with laughter, excited a con stant enthusiasm of applause. Then followed Persiani, pour ing forth a flood of musical embellishments. As to Moriani, it seems as if Fra Poco were written for him ; his dying scene is quite appalling, and fearfully true to nature. Although not a subscription night, several persons of distinction were present, including their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Ductless of Cambridge, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburgh-Strelitz, accompanied by LaV.Augnsta So merset'; the Duchess of Somerset, the Marquises of London derry and Clanricarde, the Earls of Pembroke and Westmore land, Cant Anthony Esterbazy, Lords Lilford, Templetoun, and Ranelagh ; Lady S; Stewart, &c. The benefit taken by Risley and his two sons on Monday large, at. the Porte St. Martin, was tremendous. Bouquets and plaudits ware showered upon the two children to a fearful extent; One of the chief featurei of - the evening was Elsaler's boko of last season, danced by Silvain and Mademoiselle Camille deliciously.
