THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON PORTSMOUTH, JULY 13.—The squadron now at Spithead under the orders of Rear-Admiral Hide Parker, is officially reported ready for sea, and will leave the anchorage on the trial cruise to-morrow. This being the last opportunity we may have for some time of mentioning in detail the experimental squadron, we will give a few particulars respecting the construction, &c., of each ship, which may be interesting to the general as well as the nautical reader. The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, Commander-in-Chief of the squarlron, was built on the lines furnished by the late Sir William Rule ; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain 'W. F. Martin, was built by Mr. Oliver, Lang, Master Shipwright of Wool wich Dockyard, at that yard, in 1841 ' • the Queen, 110, Cap tain Sir B. Walker, was built on the plan furnished by Sir W. Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, at Portsmouth Dockyard, in 1839 • the Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Colli er , wa s built o n the plans furnished by the late Sir Robert Seppings (Surveyor of the Navy), at Pembroke Dockyard, in 1831; the Albion, 90, Captain Nicholas Lockyer, was built on the plans of Sir William Symonds ( Surveyor of the Navy ), at Devonport Dock yard, in 1843 ; the Vanguard, 80, Captain G. W. Willes, and the Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Corry, were also built by Sir William Symonds (the former at Pembroke Dockyard in 1836, and the latter at the same yard in 1842); tt,e Canopus, 84, Captain F. Moresby, is of French construction, and was cap tu,el at the battle of the Nile. Thee are the eight ships forming the experimental squadron of 184 b, which will sail from Spithead on Tuesday to try their respective qualities a , models for future ships of their class. As this is professeely to be a trial of fairness we may be excused for offering a few remarks upon what appears to us -a want of equi'y in the said trial. It will no doubt strike the reader, as it does us, as .omewhat s t range , ant i at var i ance with those principles of impartiality upon which a squadron of such import ance should be sent cut for the attainment of so great and na -ismally important an end, that four of the eight ships com posing it are by one constructor, and two of them of the same class. The following table, being a copy of the official return ordered to be made to the Lords of the Admiralty by the Com mander-in. Chief of the squadron, on Friday last, shows, in undeniable terms, the capabilities of each ship of the squadron, and, as an authentic document, is highly interesting and im portant : •••.

It will be perceived that the Albion, two decker, of 9() guns, is of 3,099 tons burdea, but her displacement is 4,152 tons, and she carries 432 tons of water, her weight of provisions being less than that of the St. Vincent, 120, three deck.-r, by 168 days' consumption for 135 men; the St. Vincent also carries 98 tons more water, and her displacement is 4,484 tons ; con sequently the St. Vincent has a far greater burden to carry through the water than the Albion, yet has 4,840 feet of can vass less in her sails to enable her to do it ! The Surveyor's 80 gun two-deckers are each of the same tonnage, yet the Van guard can stow IC9 tons more water than her "sister" (the Superb)! We could give numerous other instances in support of our opinion as above expressed, did our space permit, but we leave the above tabular document to speak for itself. Contracts were taken at the Royal * Clarence victualling.. establi4htnent, Gosport, on Thursday, for 1,650 quarters of wheat, weighing not less than 601 b. a bushel, at 495. 6d. and 51s 6d. par quarter, being an increase of ss. on the contract taken six weeks ago. _ _ _ _ _ The Rolla, 10, Commander Simpson, arrived at Sierra Leone from Chatham, on the 24th of May. The Resistance, 42, troop-ship, Commander Patey, arrived at Cork, from this port on Monday, and embarked the 66th Regiment for conveyance to Gibraltar. REFORM IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Most persons who have paid any attention to proceed ingi in the Upper House of Parliament must have been struck with the irregular mode in which they are con conducted. Some Peers speak ten times on the same subject as a matter of course. Their Lordships indeed seem to claim exemption from the general rules which regullte every deliberative assembly, from the House of Commons to the lowest debating club in an ale-house. A scene occurred last week in the Lords, which will af ford a remarkable proof of the fact. Lord Brougham, in a speech on the railway department of the Board of Trade, had made some allusions to Mr. Hudson, when Lord FEVERSHAM said that Mr. Hud: on, who was present, and had heard Lord Brougham's sp:ech, had authorised him to say that it was incorrect_ to say that he interfered with the Committee. Lord BROUGHAM observed that the only sovereign entitled to be present at their debates was her Majesty. The railway potentate had no right to be there. The Earl of DEvoti objected to the Noble Lord's re peatedly speaking on the same motion. "The Noble and Learned Lord," said he, "has made six or seven speeches on this subject, which is a larger number than he ought to have indulged in. I shall not, however, follow his example." Lord BROUGHA3I—I beg to tell the Noble Earl that I shall speak as often as I please, without consider ing the wishes of the Noble Earl, who is not compelled to listen to me. When he was sitting at this table some time since (as Clerk of Parliament), he was compelled to listen ; he is not so now ; but I shall exercise my right of speaking whether the Noble Lord chooses to listen or not. The Earl of DEVON—My Lords, I shall not comment upon the good taste—(Hear, hear)—and the personal feeling which have prompted the Noble Lord to make the observations which your Lordships have just heard. I do not know whether it be a well-merited observation, but as the Noble and Learned Lord has now avowedly and openly put himself in a position of defiance of this House, it becomes necessary to consider what are the rules and orders of the House upon this subject, and I tell the Noble and Learned Lord that, although he tells us, in the strong language be is accustomed to use, that he N;sill speak in this House as often as he likes, when he clues again speak twice or thrice on the same question, e...r.trriry to the rules of this House, I shall call upon ~,ur,Lorelships to vindicate and enforce these rules. Lord 1.31101.7 GUAM-I hope there will be equitable extended t. all, on both sides of the House.— hear.) I never rise frt qutntly unless other Noble Lordi do. Vv e hope this scene , will be followed by the best re sults, and that the Earl of Devon and Lord Brougham will lay their heads together and establish something like order in th•.ir Lord,hips' pr )ceeclings.

BRITTON, F.S.A.—At a dinner given on the 7th inst., at Richmond, to the above veteran antiquary and topographer, the Chairman, in proposing his health, said, " Mr. Britton was not ashamed to have it known that he was of humble origin, and that he had not had the advantages of education in his youth ; but he had been both the builder and the architect of his own for tunes, and by unwearied industry and perseverance lie had succeeded, in spite of every disadvantage, in producing those works which had placed him is his present position. By a paper which he then held in his hand, he found that the number of those volumes was 15; besides numerous —almost innumerable—essays; that they comprised no less than 17,122 pages; and such of them as had ever attempted to write even 20 pages would be able to appreciate tli-3 labour. Then Mr. Brit ton's works were 1,866, and thet?gbeautyravgs i in and accuracy . were well known; and to come to a matter which he, as a commercial man, might be supp ose d to know more t a o bou h t e , the money expended in th ese productions amounted enormous sum of 50,328/. A n d a ll of these, it should be tre gnembered, were essentially useful a n d i nstruct i ve. That da y was Mr. Britton's birth-day ; o n th at d ay he entered upon his 75th year; and his whole lif e h a d b een actively a tadpon in dustriously spent.—The Builder. LONG DURATION OF SLEEP.--The trance um:Pr which Mr. Barry has been labouring for weeks past, still continues Sti bad as ever. He passed a very restless day on Monday, owing to the noise made by the incesstnt firing at the review in Hyde park. Prince Albert has been unremitting in his inquiries ; and strict orders have been given by hi.t Royal Highness that Mr. Barry, as long as he continues in his pre eat hopeless state, is not to b e disturbed by arlbody. Lord Brougham called in the course of the weak, but was instantly denied. His Lordship left word that he wJuld look in again shortly, as he was most anxious to know I bow Mr. Barry was getting on. Mr. Barry is still quartered at the new Houses of Parli amen t, it b e i ng the s pot where his singular IV EWSP t • .. IT) ) xit rirst began.

Besides affording a direct railway communication between these towns, it will accommodate a large and increas ing local traffic, comprising the whole agricultural produce of this important district of the coanty of Kent ; and looking at the general traffic which this line will exclusively command, there is no question that it will afford an ample return on the capital invested. The entire length of the railway will be about 16 miles.

ITER MAJESTY QUEEN ADELAIDE.—We under stand that the Queen Dowager, in the early part of the ensuing month, will leave Ttin.hy Park, for Scotland, on a tour through the Highlands, and we are informed will, during her progrevs there, honour several noble families with visit.. Her lilajeatY will be a'. companied by her illustrious sister, her Serene Htghness the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar. We have no doubt but that her Majesty will be heartily welcomed in the " land o' sakes." There is no foundation for the report that our gracious Sovereign content. plates going to Scotland this next auttnn.—Reraza, against the rights of man, the faith of treaties, the honour of governments, and the laws of GOD, caught abroad in the fact and among the evidences of their own delinquencies, and afterwards proceeded against to the extreme penalty of this most righteous law. If we had owed any apology to our readers for the frequency of our protests against the Board of Trade Railways' Committee, and the weiatisfactery decisions and vexatious proceedings to which its absurd constitu tion and still more preposterous powers have given rise, we should be absolved from that liability by the. decision of the Government, annourced by the Earl of DALHOUSIE, in the House of Lords, on Friday. The Committee is extinguished. It is "fancies officio." All its fantastic arrangements, its " groups," from "A " to " Z," which used to excite the risibility of those who were so fortunate as not to bs brought within the ex pensive operation of them, and made those who were sigh deeply over the certain prospect of continuous sacrifices of time, trouble, money, patience, and temper, whilst the: é' new blown, and short•liv.d Commissioners were hearing evidence upon, and taking lessens on the mystery of gradients and le% els, and at the same time deciding upon the con flicting pretensions of competing lines—all are ever. Atmospheric line, No. 23, 11, no longer figures in the same quadrille with 24 to 30 ; but narrow gauge I 7, and wide gauge H 16, in a " dos-a-dos," are equally propelled out of the snug railway bureau at the Board, the one by the Whitehall door, the other by the aide wicket into Downing-street ; and the " sets" have all to form again, after the old fashion, in Committee-rooms of the House of Commons. To pursue this dancing " figure," so ir resistibly suggested by the affectation, never before heard of in legislative business, of " groups," the " Lower Rooms" follow the example of the "' Upper Rooms." The House of COMMOIIS has had a " Railway Soirée" as well as the House of Lords. It has produced its Select Committees' Report on the petition presented a few nights ago, implicating two important officers of the Board of Ordnance, and the solicitor of that board, in transactions connected with speculations in the scrip and shares of railway companies, more especially the South-Eastern, and the North Kent lines, of a character strongly tinctured with matters of grave suspicion. The particulars of these transactions have been given in the report of the Committee appointed to investigate the petition of the South-Eastern Railway Company. To that report, therefore, with the evidence of klr. Bosf 11A31, Captain BOLDERO, and Mr. WRAY, we refer our readers, in. order that they may judge for themselves. We may merely state that, with regard to Captain BOLDER°, Clerk of Ordnance, it is evident from the re port that Mr. IshareETT's written allegations were utterly unfounded in fact. We lament that any Members of Parliament should put themselves in so false a position as the Gallant Captain has done by dealing in railway shares, especially when he happens to bold office under the Crown. But his transactions in them were, at any rate, so far as the evidence goes, perfectly genuine ; the shares paid for, and the dealings bona fide. Mr. BONHAM gives an intelligible account of the mode in which he came by his 300 L While, at the same time, it cannot be denied that he acted imprudently in accepting profits on shares in a line with respect to which he had deliberated and voted as a Member of the Legislature. It is no excuse that others have done the same, and that many votes have been influenced by self-interest. The Member of a Committee should be above suspicion ; he should not lead himself into temptation, nor risk his integrity and good fame for paltry gain. The ordinary session of the Swiss Diet was opened at Zurich on the 7th inst. The whole of the foreign Ministers, with the exception of the POPE'S Nuncio, were present. The following address was delivered by M. FURRER, the President : " You recollect, Gentlemen, that the majority of the Cabi nets which maintain diplomatical relations with Switzerland, have, on the occasion of the disturbances that occurred in March last, aad of the armed aggression against a confede rated State, manifested lively apprehensions, some by friendly exhortations, and others by more serious representations upon the consequences that might possibly accrue from those events. If our country has, on the one hand, a right to expect from the justice cf friendly Powers that no impedi ment should be opposed to the spontaneous and independent development of its external relations ; on the other hand, we can only claim that right, as far as we are concerned, when we conscientiously and scrupulously observe the precepts of international law, and tolerate the existence of no element calculated to compromise tranquillity or friendly intercourse with other states. We may, nevertheless, derive confi dence from our serious determination to repress anarchical movements, and from our possessing, notwithstanding the great agitation excited by so many conflicting elements, the nece.sary power of energetically preventing the recurrence of acts of that nature. We may consequently hope that a good understanding will continue to subsist unaltered between the Confederation and the foreign Powers, and I find the cheering proof of it in the presence of their worthy representatives at the solemnity of this day." We have intelligence from Madrid and Barcelona to the 6th inst. That from the capital is without interest, but from Barcelona and several districts of Catalonia we have accounts of serious disturbances, caused by the determination of the Government to extend the conscription to that province- Several persons had been killed, and fears were entertained that the spirit of resistance might extend to other districts. The subjoined is an abridged account of these unfortunate events :—" The Government transmitted to Captain-General CONCHA orders to have the recruitment lists drawn this year at Barcelona, as in the rest of Spain. On the day appointed for the drawing opposition was manifested in several points at the same time, in the neighbourhood of Barcelona, at nolins- de-Rey, San Andres, Sabadell, Tarassa, Bada l-na, Esparraguera, Colders, and San Felice de Renon. At Badalona the lists were burnt, and two agents of public safety killed; at Tarassa the Alcade was assassinated; at San Andres the inhabitants dispersed the authorities with musket shots; at Molins- de-Rey the people stopped the post, the public diligences, and the couriers. This little town being situated at four leagues from Barcelona, in the high road to Madrid by Saragossa, all communications are for the moment interrupted. At Sabadell, only five leagues from Barcelona, the Ultra-Progressists, profitting by the popular irritation, had already endeavoured to instal a central junta, in the name of ESPARTEIIO, and formed a body of two thousand armed men. This news having been transmitted rapidly to Barcelona, the Captain-General set out the same day at the head of a column of infantry and cavalry, sup ported by some pieces of cannon. The insurgents were driven from Sabadell, with a loss of twenty-five killed, and several taken prisoners. The General pursued them to Tarassa, and they are now flying through the mountains. At Barcelona, where the two Queens and some of the Ministers still are, tranquillity had not bsen troubled. It now appears certain that the QUEZN will visit the Basque provinces. The Court is to set out for Sara gossa on the 18th. It is to be at Pampeluna on the 25th, for the anniversary of the Queen -Mother's fete, and thence will proceed to Gilboa. The President of the Council and the Minister of Foreign Affairs will accompany the two Queens to that place. The Paris papers are much occupied with the de plorable crime committed by a French officer (Celonel Peeieseeß) arid a l arty of sold') rs at a place called Dehara, in Algeria. It appears th )t this Colonel PELTS BIER was engaged in pursuing the Ouled-Riahs a liabel tribe who have never been eutelued, because the country they inhabit contains immense caverns—real labyrinths —wherein it would be downright marines.) to lead assailing troops. The Oulecl-Rialis, seeing that they were closely pursued, hastened to their habitual refuges. 1 This happened on the forenoon of the 18th of June. After surrounding the grottos, some fascines were made up, which were kindled and placed at the entrance of the grottos. After this demonstration, which was madein order to let those people know that they would all be suffocated in their caverns, the Colonel ordered letters to 'be flung to them, in which they were told that their lives would be spared and liberty restored if they surrendered their arms and horses. They first refused, and subse quently replied that they would comply with the de mand, if the French army previously withdrew to a dis tance. This condition was rejected ; and, after various attempts to subdue the fugitives, burning faggots were thrown into the cavern, and, according to some accounts, eight hundred men, women and children, perished. The following description of the awful scene on the 20th is given by the I?efornie:—" On the morning of that day there remained but a mass of half consumed ashes, and nothing more was to be heard. We determined on entering the grotto. How can we describe the shocking aspect it presented ? The cattle, rendered furious, crushing all around them—the men and women rushing about in order to escape being suffocated and gored. We had to walk twenty steps over the bodies of the dead and dying. A thousand human beings were heaped up in this channel without an outlet. At the bottom of it were bodies standing up with their faces sticking to the fissures that they might breathe. About seventy who had survived expired the moment they were brought into the open air ; others were killed by the fragments of rocks the heat had detached. A large number had received yataghan cuts, and bore the marks of deep wounds. A terrible struggle had, no doubt, taken place in the cavern, in that profound darkness. Already have nearly six hundred elead bodies been extracted from the grotto ; there are many more which it has been impossible to get at. Eight hundred men, women, and children, have perished. The whole tribe of the Itiahs is e xterminated." With one or two exceptions the Paris press express the utmoht indig ieelea et such barbarities.

BY AGNES STRICKLAND. " The eighth volume of this most interesting and valuable work contains the Lives of two Queens, who played a very prominent part in the most remarkable era of English history—namely, Henrietta Maria, th; wife of Charles 1., and Catherine of Braganza, the wife ofCharles 11. The picture which M. 8.9 Strickland draws of the domestic life of Charles I. and his unfortunate but highly talented and accomplished Queen, is fascinating in the extreme. She appears to have carefully examined all the writings of the period, and her opinions, consequently, are all founded on facts. The life of Cathe rine is equally full of interesting and entertaining matter. The in ternal economy of the court of Charles IL, and the dissoluteness that prevaliol, are set before the reader in a manner that presents the best and the most faithful picture of the state of things at the era in which they occurred. The present volume, on the whole, in the great research which It displays, is fully equal to any that have pre ceded it, while in point of interest, arising from the fact of its ap proaching more nearly to our own times, it very far surpasses them. The work, when completed, will be one of the most valuable addi tions that for many years has been made to the library of the his torian."—Sunday Times.

The advices which we have from La Guayra, by the Rochester packet-ship, are distinguished by one im portant, and, we believe, unexpected feature. We allude to the recognition of the independence of Vene zuela by the Spanish Government. Of all her revolted colonies in South America, Venezuela, as an inde pendent state, was that which Old Spain most per tinaciously refused to acknowledge. This characteristic obstinacy in the face of " perfected facts," in defiance of an irresistible combination of events which had long previously rendered re-annexation to the mother coun try impossible, in forgetfulness, as it were, of that awakened and excited nationality to which the spirit and the genius of BOLIVAR had imparted an indestructible vitality, has been maintained by Spain for five-and thirty years. On the 11th of May lait a Spanish vessel )f war, however, run up the harbour of La Guayra, saluted the VenEzuela flag with 21 guns, and landed an agent of the Spanish Government with the formal act of recognition and the treaty concluded at Madrid between the Ministers of the two Powers. He proceeded to Caraocas, where he was received with great enthusiasm, and the document was immediately submitted to the Congress. Under any circumstances we should have greatly rejoiced at a concession so wise and dignified on the part of Spain—so salutary for the young Republic, which has claims of the highest interest on British sympathies in connexion with her bravely sustained contest against the powers of a corrupt despotism, and more especially with the career of one of her citizens, perhaps the ablest and most disinterested—as he was also among the bravest , --whom the States of the New World have yet produced. But Venezuela has another claim upon our respect, another title to our good wishes, by her consistent patronage of free labour, and the moral influence which her example is calculated to exercise, in a degree difficult to be calculated, on the other nations of South America in extending this most effective of all discouragements to the slave trade. The admission of her sugars under cer tificates of free labour production, into the English market, had justly rewarded her for that encouragement of her domestic agriculture, without slave labour, to which her Government has so long and assidu ously directed its energies. It has established the per fect practicability of profitably superseding slave by free tillage, on a scale sufficiently extensive and remunera tive to produce a considerable export trade in its products. In contrast with this case of Venezuela, to whose in- dependence one of the oldest monarchies of Europe Was thus rendered a tardy but an impressive homage, we may take the case of an empire on the eastern shores of the same continent, which, animated by far more ignoble motives, instead of gradually eradicating from its soil the moral Upas tree of slavery, nurtures its poisonous growth with the blood, and waters the guilty soil with the tears of African victims, annually sacrificd by scores of thousands to Lust terrible object. We may be deceived by our own satis faction at the important confirmation which the inde pendence of Venezuela has thus received from Spain, and the to-some-extent improved position she thereby acquires among the family of Established States all over the world. But it really appears to us, that the fact in- volves, with the pendant of that Brazilian dilemma we are about to notice, a great moral lesson to nations, that with them, as with individuals, honesty is, in the strictest sense of the term, the best policy. For what is the false position in which the shuffling, faithless, slave-trafficking Ministry of Brazil have now placed that fine empire by their disgraceful treason to the spirit of treaties exacut•d by them or their predecessors, for the suppression, in aid of the generous efforts of Great Britain, of the slave trade P Brazil bound herself by a solemn compact for a period of fifteen years to the sacred obligation, of prohibiting to her subjects, and to the utmost of her power, suppressing all slave-trading under her flag. On the 12th of March last formal notice was given to our Government that this term would expire on the ensuing day, and that it was not the intention of Brazil to renew chose articles in existing treaties with us which regarded the putting doen of slave trading. After some treating, however, it was agreed that the mixed Arglo-Brazilian Commission should endure for six months more, to wind up all pending cases of seizure and questions of condem nation for infractions of the expiring treaty that had oc curred down to such 13th of March, 1845. In the meanwhile, for some years past, Brazil has been the dis grace of Christendom ar d of civilisation, by reason of its systematic permission to the most wholesale and barefaced violations of such treaties by its own subjects. An annual average, on the lowest joule, of about 50,000 negroes, represents the number of wretched human beings kidnapped, captured, manacled, :tad flung on board Brazilian slave ships ; and after en during all the horrors—the inevitable and revolting pol lutions which the cupidity of slave dealers only can ever contemplate visiting—far less actually inflicting—on sentient beings of our own species, perceptions, feelings, organs, they have been landed at Rio,deJaneiro,oron the neighbouring shores. How many more thousands— scores of thousands—are annually des•royed in these expeditions, in the man-hunts that secure the prey, in the barbarous process of shipping them, in the more merciful wounding, starving, drowning, or the more bar barons over-crowding, suffocation, contagious fevers, de lirium, and despair, which release them from their hideous existence before reaching their American dtsti nation—we will not now pause to consider. But here is the dilemma in which the contumacy and perfidy of Brazil are likely to place_ her. In 1827 she entered into a permanent, and binding contract with our Go vernment, authorising each Power to treat the subjects of the other, who should be convicted before competent tribunals of either State of the crime of slave dealing, to be proceeded against end dealt with as pirates. Brazil dogrz,edly refuses to renew her anti slave-trading engagements with us, so far as these form parts of other treaties, having definitive limits and terms of duration. From this compact of 1827 she cermet escape. Lord ABERDEEN ig now cwt.% i throw:i t th e House of Lord-, a declaratory Rill to gi), CC. ct its terms nr , i its penalties.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 11,000 to 12,000 bales, including 6,000 on speculation. The market was very steady, and prices were well supported. Saturday was a holiday on the Stock Exchange. There are serious apprehensions entertained with respect to the crops, as the continued prevalence of heavy showers, it is said, has in many instances already done considerable in jury. As to-morrow is St. Swithin's day, the holders of grain have exhibited much firmness at Mark-lane this morn ing. But upon this latter point more ample details will be found in the usual column of The Sun. There is every reason to expect that the grain markets will yet be higher in consequence of the shortness of the stocks on the continent. At the same time, from private information we are enabled to state that throughout France, Germany, and Prussia, the most favourable expectations are entertained with respect to the produce of the forthcoming harvest. With respect to the potatoe crops, we believe they are likely to be most plentiful, a circumstance which, as far 08 the poorer classes are concerned, is one of immense importance. The farmers throughout the country are holding back, where they can, all the wheats they have, in the firm expectation that mar kets must rule higher here before the operations of the field can be commenced. There are late accounts from New Zealand to-day, much later in point of date than those previous obtained. We do not hear that anything of importance is communicated in the advices as to commercial affairs, which are repre sented as being of an unfavourable character. There is a re port of a dreadful conflict at New Zealand, and property de stroyed to the extent of 40,0001. ; in short, that the Bay of Islands had ceased to exist as a colony of the British GU vernment. It may be in our power to obtain information of an accurate nature when the letters have been delivered. The English Stock Market continues in a fluctuating state, and sales continue to be made. Consols are 99 to 94 3 / 4 for Transfer and Time. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been 565. to 555., being also lower. This is a heavy week in the Stock Exchange, this being settling day in Shares, to-morrow in Foreign Stocks, and Friday in Consols, so that a good deal of money will change hands, and prices will be affected by this cause.

CORN EXCHAN GE-MON DAY. During last week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market were on a very moderate scale, while the receipts of nearly every description of grain—including Irish Oats and Foreign Wheat—were small. Fresh up scarcely any wheat of kome produce was received, hence the stands were very scantily filled with samples of that article, owing to which, the full attendarce of buyers, and the unsettled state of the weather, the demand was active at an improvement in the rates obtained on this day se'nnight of 2s per quarter, and at which nearly the whole was dipposed of. From all parts fa vourable accounts continue to reach us respecting the growing crops. As might be expected, holders of foreign Wheat were ver) firm, and would not sell except at is. to 2s. per quarter more money. This advance, however, was not generally paid. The show of Barley was limited. Grinding parcels were held at a trifle more money. In other kinds very little was doing. Although the supply of Malt was small, that article moved off slowly, at late rates. The supply of Oats was by no means good. A fair business was doing at late rates. Scarcely any Beans or Peas on offer. In prices we can notice no altera tion. The Flour trade was steady.

The supply on offer here com prised 70 Oxen and Cows, in, generally speaking (though there was nothing remarkable amongst them) fair average condition. On the whole, a fair inquiry existed for them, at prices varying from 161. to 19/. Ios. each, and at which they were nearly all disposed of. Fresh up to our market of to day the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, and on the increase compared with those reported on Monday last. Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was rather numerous, we have to notice a sluggish demand for all kinds of Beef, at, in most instances, a decline, in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, of 2d per Sibs, the highest general figure for the best sorts beMp 4s 4d per 81bs. In the quality and condition.of the beasts a great improvement was noticed; indeed, we have seldom seen a better collection here at any previous corresponding season. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire consisted of 650 Scots, homebreds and short horns, while, from the northern counties, we re ceived 250 short horns; from the western and midland counties 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 400 horned and polled Scots. The number of Sheep were somewhat less than those exhibited last week. Prime old Downs sold freely at extreme quotations, while the value of other breeds was again supported. The few store Sheep on offer were held at unusually high figures. For Lainbs, the supply of which was not to say large, we had a steady sale, at full prices. The Veal trade was steady, at last week's quo tations. In Pigs very little busines was transacted. Per Blbs. to sink the offal. s.

With London killed Meat, however, we have been well supplied, while a decided improvement has taken place in quality. For nearly every description of Meat the demand has ruled very firm, and full prices have been realised in every instance, and at which good clearances have been effected.

WOO 7. r:3A?2:'f•E'Z', The imports of Wool during the past week have been again extensive, they having amounted to nearly 3,000 bales. The public sales, at which already about 12,000 bales have been offered and nearly all disposed of, are going on ex tremely well, and prices are stealily supported. For English Wool there is rather more inquiry, at very full currencies. TALZIOW. This market is very steady, and a fair moderate business is doing on the spot for the season. In new Tallow there is little passing ; the market price for the last three months is 40s 3d to 40s 6d, yet there are no buyers at above 40s. Town Tallow is 40s net cash. BOROI7OII HOP ZYSAUNDT.

LORD BROUGHAM AND MR. FITZ- ROY KELLY. The following letter stated to have been addressed by the Noble and Learned Lord to a gentleman at Cambridge, is published in the Cambridge thronick _ _ " Grafton-street, Thursday, July 3, " My dear Sir,—You wish to know whether or not you are likely to have a new election at Cambridge in consequence of the death of my dear friend, Sir William Follett. I can only say, I know not ; but I devoutly hope you may, for I have known Fitzroy Kelly all his professional life, and I certainly don't know a more worthy successor to him we have lost. He (Kelly), with my valued friend, Sergeant Wilde, is indisputa bly at the head of our profession, and this, independently of my personal regard, is enough to make me desire his promotion. He Is destined for the highest places in the law, and his parliamentary claims are proportionally high. Some one told me lately that his vote on hfaynooth would hurt him. I fear you, my friend, are also of that way of thinking, and that you may also deem me a little heretical. All I have to say is, that no man in England hates Popery more than I do, and in all its shapes and all its conse quences, secular as well as spiritual. But my support of the May_ nooth grant was quite consistent with that hatred which I express on all occasions, as I did in giving that vote. You are one of those with whom I wish to stand well ; therefore I have answered your letter at large. Wishing you a Solicitor-General for your Member, I am, yours sincerely, " BROUGHAM." FOOT-RACE ON WATERLOO-BRIDGE FOR 101.— This morning the running match between Dodd and Munro for V. aside came off on Waterloo-bridge. Thedistance was 200 yards. After several efforts the start was made, Munro taking the lead for fifty yards, when his adversary succeeded in coming up with him, and at 100 yards the men were equidistant from the goal ; they both exerted all their powers of celerity, and when within thirty yards Munro had a lead of one yard of his opponent, who made the last and ineffectual struggle, which concluded his defeat, and Munro ran in the winner by two yards. Munro was the favourite. The two Englishmen (Parker and Williams) in whose possession four stolen Bank of England notes were found, were tried and convicted in Paris, on Thursday, and sentenced— Parker to be imprisoned for one, and Williams for eight months. The bank notes were confiscated, but 240 sovereigns in gold, and 480 francs in silver, were returned to Williams, in whose posses. lion they had been found. THE LATE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WAL natl.—Up to Saturday night every effort to raise the body of the late Mr. Harvey and that of poor Mr. Oakley, has been unavailing, drags' having been used for two days without in the slightest degree indicating the places where either of the bodies rest. It was determined upon that a diver and bell should be sent for to London, A messenger was accordingly dispatched on Friday, and he returned the same evening with an expert diver, whe com menced his labours the fol l owing morning, but without success. He descended twice or thrice in the day, and resumed the next morning. The excitement still continues unabated; indeed it would rather seem to increase in proportion to the difficulty of procuring the bodies. The place is visited by thousands daily ; and it is feared that the raising of the remains of the two much. lamented gentlemen will be a work of great difficulty, only to be effected by the lmmene.e labour o: pumping off the water.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT HARA, IN A L The following account of one of the GIERS. most horridtlesl ever committed is copied from the Akbar of .i inst., French j trnal, published at ible rr There has just occurred in th e D a hara one of those teriveo ..vents which oeeply Efil et those who witness them' e ar e when convinc e d o f th e i r f r i g htf u l necess it y , a nd when t he !, to justified in declaring that e ver ythi ng p oss ible Nos dt) „ 8 0 /0. prevent the catastrophe. It i s k nown th a t the corps. rnanded by Colonels Pelissier, St. A rna ud a nd de l'Acnrapoi, have been carrying on combined operations in the west. have Pelissier was busy in pursuing the Ouled Riabs, who it never yet submitted, as they live in immense caverns rbe h re e f would be madness for the troops to enter. On the ' St iles ( June, finding themselves closely pure red, the Ouled Blat!, the to their usua place of refuge. After having a ural:tint' nc h caverns, some faggots were lighted and thrown by the rlt h - islt troops before the entrance. After this demonstration, ` , l t he was made to convince the Arabs that the French biding' power, if they pleased, of suffocating them in their e ,ecl place, the Colonel threw in letters off er in g t o them l"!,4, liberty if they would surrender their arms and their hu'l t At first they refused, but subsequently they repl ie , d a A lb they would consent if the French troops would wit burn Tins condition was considered inadmissible, and more t , l 0 I..grzuts were thrown. A great tumult now arose, and , 1 i ber known afterwards that it arose from a discussion as to to e there should be a surrender or not. The party oprsc" surrender carried their point, and a few of the rniooritel s of ade their escape. Colonel Pelissier, wishing to spare the l t : 01 :hose who remained in the cavern, sent some Arabs to t"'or exhort them to surrender. They refused, and some 0 , 1 741, who did not partake of the sava ge fa na ti c i sm of the In ° „" g oa attempted to fly, but their husbands and relations fir e 'Ljltef them, to prevent their escape from the martyrdom whin" or had themselves resolved to suffer. Colonel Pelissier then 0 ,4 pended the throwing of the burning faggots, and sent a enter to bold a parley with the Ouled Riahs, but his metir" r was received with a discharge of fire-arms, and could n ot f i g ht form his mission. This state of things cont i nue d till the n a of the 19th, when, lo s i ng a ll p a ti ence , and no longer ha ct " te rl hope of otherwise subduing these fanatics, who formed stPe r A P e r e nucleus of revolt. in the country, the fire was renewed an.'„"epl dered intense. During this time the cries of the unr t l i el wretches, who were being suffocated, were dreadful, an" pis nothing was heard but the crackling of the faggots' de ad silence spoke volumes. The troops ent e red and found t hi bodies. About 150, who still breathed, were brought to v fresh air, but a portion of them died afterwards. „DOI The affair was thus animadverted upon in the -v . " Chamber of Peers on the 11th : 0 °' Prince de la Moskowa sail that the Akbar of me tabled a recital of an affair which was really of such a r ei. o character as to be scarcely credible ; it was without pr o _ e 0 3 in the annals of their military history. Colonel Pelis sier, rendered himself guilty of an act which nothing could saeg 000 i which it was repugnant to them to re cor d, an d that wit- I ' l ' l 'o to unfortunate Arabs whom they had conquered.
