able I would write to you all—l mean most of my friends ; but at present I cannot. Go to Mr. Bell and Wm. Wilson, and Alexander Wilson, and who you think fit, and state the melancholy contents of this to them,because I cannot acquaint them all. As poor Mrs. Stobbs is now the only memorial of dear Rachel I know, go to her and give her my respects, and tell her that I have lost my beloVed Rachel ; and, although there was not much friendship existing between them for some time past, I hope better will now exist between us, and that I shall always regard ber for dear Rachel's sake. I must now stop ; for I am bewildered, as if in an unconscious dr. am.—Yours ever, "J. C. BELANEY." I wish Wm. Wilson could give you Mr. Tewart's address in Lo-don. He Is one who knows me, and would say some thing for me. Go to Mrs. Stobbs immediately ; for, as a rela tive, it is my duty to acquaint her. Tell Mrs. Patrick and all others you think well of. Oh, lam gone. I hope the Lord will support me under such trouble. If I can write to Mr. Simpson, who is the minister of the parish, I Nc ill ; but at present I cannot." The next letter te.Mr. Bell refers to the foregoing one. "June, 1844. My dear Mr. Bell,—By the time this reaches you, you will have learned from Hall's letter, and my com munication yesterday, the awful cause of my loss ; and you, well I know, can and will feel for me. 0, God I what a visi tation came upon me, like a thunderbolt shot down upon me in the midst of my happiness. Alas where are all my summer arrangements gone with my dear Rachel ? But, I cannot write. You shall hear from me immediately. To meet the next payments go to Thew for the price of the wheat. I will arrange for your supplies. Let no one interrupt you in your usual course. I have legal advice to direct and go through the case for me. I wrote a few lines for Captain Clark to direct him to write you, giving instruction for you to go on with the business as usual, and where to apply to for money to meet the pay. I did not think of writing you at that time ; but now have done so. Besides several other friends who are coming up, and who have known me for some time, I should like to see Mr. Hunt of Belford. Do go and tell him what has happened, and that I should like him to come up immediately to say what he knows of me. Mr. Hancock and several others have arrived. Tell him, for God's sake, to come off immediately. I will pay all expenses. I must have a few respectable friends to come forward to establish my character and say what they know of me. Oh, God ! I know not what lam doing or saying. Tell him I shall pay every expense. When he comes he must call at Hobson's, bookseller,Commercial-road East, London, or at 17, King's-street, Stepney, London, at Mr. Clark's. Yours ever, in haste, " J. C. BELANEY." " Pray put the men upon the partnership on their work again when required, if they are not already on." Another letter, addressed by Captain Clark to ➢lr. Bell, at the desire of the prisoner, was then read. It ran as follows " 17, King-street, Stepney, London, June 15, 1844. " Sir,—Mr. J. C. Belaney desires that you will go on as usual, and let him know when you want a cheque for the pay. His solicitor advises that you do not allow any one to see his private eorre,spendence, nor even yours ; nor allow any one to interrupt anything in his affairs, or to see any of his pri vate papers, no matter of whatever nature they may be. You are also desired by him not to address me through the Stepney address, lest they should be intercepted and pub lished, which would be very unpleasant. You will, therefore, enclose your letter to Mr. Belaney, under cover to me, 17, King-street, Stepney. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "To Mr. Bell. _ _"W. D. CLARK." Mr. George Grey Bell, agent to Robson and Skelly's Lime works, North Sunderland, identified the letters signed J. S. Belaney, as being in the handwriting of the prisoner, who recently became a partner of the firm. Witness believed the late Mrs. Skelly, the prisoner's mother-in-law, had been a partner. Since witness became agent, which was inSeptem ber last, the prisoner took an active part in the business. To the best of his belief the letters signed J. C. Belaney were in the prisoner's handwriting. Witness received the letters numbered 2 and 3 on the Wednesday after the date. W. D. Clark (known throughout the inquiry as Captain Clark), was called, and admitted that the letter produced, bearing his signature, was written by him at the request a the prisoner. The two wills, found by Inspector Haynes, in the cup board at theprisoner's house, were then read. The first ran as follows: $. f " J I, James CoCkbum Belaney, do hereby will and bequeath all, fly property . , personal and other estates and heredita , nients,-with (heir rights and titles, to Rachel Belaney, my lawful wife, to be enjoyed And disposed of by her, as she best thinks fit.. "JAMES COCKBURN BELANEY. ' { " Alexander Wilson. Witnessed by Ralph More. "‘ P. S.—John Dinning, Esq„ of Alford, is to have is y . Greenland falcon, as promised. "J. C. B." "North Sunderland, May 17, 1844." The - second was an exact copy of the former, but without the-Rostscript. . Judging from the signature, the whole of the documenj, except the_ names of the attesting witnesses, was written No Mrs. Belaney, who, at would seem, had copied it rum the other with a too faithful accuracy, as an erasure was made for the purpose of altering the female Into the male prisoner. AleXinder Wilson, a labourer in the prisoner's employ ment at the lime works in North Sunderland, remembered the prisoner and his wife leaving that place on the Ist of June. - Witness saw the prisoner and his wife at their own house on the evening previous to their leaving. The prisoner asked witness to sign a will, which he said was drawn up between himself and Mrs. Belaney. Witness then signed two papers. Those produced are the same. Mr. Symons—Did the prisoner say anything when he asked you to sign them ? Witness—The prisoner said they consisted of this :—lf anything happened to Mrs. Belaney the effects belonging to them would be left in her will to do with them as he chose; and Mrs. Belaney spoke to the same effect —that if anything happened to him the effects would go to her to do as she chose. italph More, a shoemaker of North Sunderland, signed two papers at Mr. Belaney's house, on Friday, the 31st of May. After taking the pen and going over the signatures in wit ness's presence, the prisoner said it was much better to do so, lest anything should occur whilst they were from home, and added, that it was the custom of gentlemen, or people (wit ness did not remember which), always to do so when they went from home. Mrs. Belaney only signed the document, and witness appended his signature. The document was here handed to witness, who identified it. Mr. Clarkson declined questioning any Of the witnesses. - The next document read was the register of the death of Mrs. Skelly, mother of Mrs. Belaney ; it was filled up on the information of the prisoner, who stated that Mrs. Skelly died on the Ist of July, 1843, of bilious fever. The registry was dated July 3, 1843. - Margaret Ronalds was then called—She said she had been servant to Mr. and Mrs. Belaney for nine months. At times Mrs. Belaney's friends came to see her. They sometimes were not asked in, and at other times they were. On one occasion whilst witness lived there she was told by the pri soner that Mrs. Belaney had miscarried in the night. He told • her so between six and seven o'clock in the morning on a Friday ; but she did not know the month. Mr. Clarkson—l see the clerk in his examination seems to get his information fro m s ome p aper t o w hi c h h e re f ers. I should like to know whether this witness has been exa mined before in the presence of a magistrate. (To the wit iiess)—Were you examined before ?—Yes ; in North Sun derland. Mr. Clarkson—Was he a magistrate who examined you ? I cannot say : I do not know. Mr. Clarkson-1 have material objections to this mode of proceeding; but I will not urge them here. 'cue witness proceeded to state that she was not called to render any assistance to Mrs. Belaney on the occasion, when the prisoner told her that that lady had had a miscarriage. Mr. Clarkson—lf anything applicable to the present in qiiiry is to be elicited by this mode of inquiry, let it be shown ; or, if there be any other charge, let it be stated. Mr. BRODERIP—I am sure the prisoner has no cause to complain of the manner in which this inquiry has been con ducted. The fullest latitude has been afforded for the defence. The witness, on being pressed as to the time when Mr. Eelaney spoke of the miscarriage, said, to the best of her re collection, it was in September last. Witness knew a Mrs. Robson. No medical man was called in when the prisoner told witness that Mrs. Belancy had a miscarriage. In answer to a question from Mr. Clarkson, witness said, • she only arrived in town from North Sunderland on Tuesday. Sergeant Shaw was then called, and proved that he re ceived a letter from the prisoner on the Wednesday after the death of' the deceased, which was intended for the post; but which witness thought it his duty to detain. Mr. IlttonEuir (to the prisoner)—lf you have anything to say, you can say it now ; but your statement will be volun tary, and written down for or against you. Mr. Clarkson intimated that the defence would be reserved. Mr. 13mm:dip—Prisoner at the bar, you stand remanded until Saturday next; but; at the same time, I feel it neces sary to state that, if no additional evidence be given, it will :lien be my duty to commit you to take your trial for the murder of Rachel Belaney. The announcement, which excited a deep sensation in the (loort, did not seem in any degree to shake the prisoner, who iv:diced steadily back to his cell. P IrINCE TALLEYRAND.—The New Molithly Maga zinely will contain another of those remarkable papers-, relating to the personal career and character -of the prince of modern diplomatists, which have excited so intu h attention in recent numbers of that periodical. It conte ins, we understand, the most singular relations connect sd with the early life of the Prince—tracing him from his .birth, through every step of his boyhood—giv ing num. n ous anecdotes of his school days, his youthful ninnurett ts, his boyish escapades; and furnishing many cu rious and in terestingfeatures ofthat early career,the events of which evidently moulded and modified that character en which ti he fate of Europe was afterwards more than once to de end.

The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing It the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be lull y appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCe.RTS, on Man •ays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doingjustiee to the awful representation of - - THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful chiracteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Ait, that delight is predominant over terror; and the 'thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotecht ist, h s achieved a matchless triumph. . . .

The Lords did not sit last evening. In the Commons Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that he would this day call the attention of Sir JAMES GRA HAM to the formation of a troop of yeomanry in the district of Rochdale. • . The order of the day for the second reading of Mr. KELLY'S Bill for appeals in criminal cases was post , poned till Wedaosdav, when the Hon. Member would take the sense of the House bn the subject. ' Mr. T. IhccomnF. gave notice that on Tuesday next he would move for a Select Committee to inquire into that department of the Post-office called the Secret-oZce. Mr. DUNCOMEE deserves the support and gratitud e of the public • in his praise-worthy endeavours to bring the Home Secre tary to justice, and put an end to the spy-system. We hear but one opinion on the subject. Every man, and woman too, denounce a practice which gave FOUCHE such unenviable notoriety, and which, we trust, will not disgrace this free country. Mr. S. O'BRTEN resumed the debate on the repeal of the corn-laws; he directed his attacks chiefly against the League, and protested against its narrow, selfish, and unconstitutional policy. Captain LAYAED, though he would prefer a small fixed duty, supported the motion. Lord EENDLE- THE SUN, LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 1644. SHAM opposed it. A number of speakers followed, but we see few arguments adduced by them that re quire notice. The only important feature in the *debate was the -determination of the Government to adhere, for the present, to the sliding scale. The House divided, when the numbers were—For the motion, 124 ; against it, 328. The other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two. After two nights' discussion, remarkable for no speech of any particular moment, with the exception of that delivered by Lord Howicx on Tuesday, who gave utterance to some weighty and significant truths, which will not be speedily forgotten by those who heard, and those who read them, the debate on the corn-laws was last night brought to a close, when the majority against Mr. VILLIERs's motion was 204. This, it must be confessed, was a large majority, but when we come to consider the constitution of the present House of Commons, how completely it has surrendered its independence into the hands or Sir ROBERT PEEL, and how imperfectly it represents and gives expression to the wants and wishes of the vast mass of the people, we cease to be surprised at the triumph of the monopolist party, and are only the more confirmed in our con viction that these sort of triumphs cannot be of long continuance. The League has no reason to be dis mayed by the result of last night's division ; rightly considered, it has not in the slightest degree thrown back the cause which that great national confederacy has so much at heart, but will even have been pro ductive of good, if it shall be the means of stimu lating the free-traders to still further exertions. They must now see, that for some time to come at least, they have little to expect from Sir ROBERT PEEL and those who act according to his bidding. He told them distinctly last night—and in case there should be any misapprehension of his meaning, he twice repeated the assertion that it was not his intention to make the slightest alteration in the pre sent corn-law. "I prefer the principle of the Bill of 1842," he said, "to the principle of the Bill of the Noble Lord, and I have only to repeat the declaration which on the part of her Majesty's Government, I made at the commencement of the present session, that we do not intend, and that we have not intended, to diminish the protection which the existing corn-law gives to the agricultural in terests." In these few, but emphatic words, the PREMIER clearly throws down the gauntlet of defi ance to the League, and dims them to do their worst. He will not advance an inch nearer to them in the way of conciliation or compromise, but I will maintain the position which be now holds. But not only this, in the conviction of his own st-angth, and the inability of the League to grapple successfully with him and force him to change his re solution, he actually taunts Mr. COBDEN and some other free-traders who supported him the other night on the Sugar Duties, with the vote which they gave on that occasion. " I hope," he sneeringly observed —and no man sneers with such a smiling, well-bred bitterness as the Premier—in reference to the empty state of the Opposition benches, at an early period of the evening, " I hope that the assistance which the Hon. Gentleman and his friends gave to me at my benefit the other night, has not been the cause of depriving them of a fuller audience." It is thus Sir R. PEEL acknowledges and repays the service 3 which Mr. COCBDEN—most ill-advisedly, as we must say—ren de,tsad him a night or two since on a question in which the, Government were most deeply interested, and on whlch, otherwise, they must have sustained a most humiliating defeat ! Henceforth, we suspect, the Ili mi. Member for Stockport will be cautious how he appaies his shoulder to the wheel, in order to lift the State-waggon out of the mud, seeing that his as sistance is taken quite as a matter of course, and is re paid only by a quiet supercilious indifference. We have said that Lord Howica's speech was the only really remarkable one that was made during the discussion . It - was indeed eminently so, if for nothing more than these important truths :—" All experience proved," said'. his Lordship, " that if justice were too long , will iheld, more than justice would be demanded, and he that:light there were significant symptoms abroad that we Nl' ere not far from that end. It was true the Go vern went was all powerful in that House, but he should look with alarm to any sudden or violent dis turbance of the political institutions of tht s_c_st_i_____3_3tr , _ lie warted the liou - se - Urat theirteunclations were sapped from the• moment when the persuasion became general that thrwe in whose hands power was placed, perverted that power to their own benefit, to the oppression of the rest of the community. That persuasion was fast gaining ground." There is much more troth in these remarks than it would suit the convenience of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his Conservative tools to allow. The existence of Chartism, so general among the operative classes, if not quite so noisy as it has been ; the discontent of the agricultural classes made manifest in the wandering va garies of SWING, who, we believe, has now, with the torch in his hand, paid a visit to eirmy county, in England :—these, to say nothing of a hundred minor ones, are significant symptoms, which indicate the deep and growing discontent of the masses with the system of class legislation, and prove, also, that that false and purblind system of legislation is, of neces sity, drawing, slowly indeed, but surely, to m close. Madrid journals of the 19th have been received. Most of them have articles on the proposed conces sions of Don CARLOS, alluded to in the House of Commons, and we are glad to find theM in general opposed to the marriage of his son to the QUEEN. The Herald() gives the following account of the finan cial arrangements just concluded by M. Mort : " Yesterday the arrangement between the holders of Trest sury-bills and the Minister of Finance was happily con chided. The former accepted Three per Cents. at 35 per cent. in exchange for the bills to fall due, the liquidation of the contracts whence they arose taking place. This piece of nevs contains the whole prospects of our country. The conversion of the floating debt into Three per Cents. yields from this day to the Government above 60,000,000 a month, with which it will not only be able to provide for .the most press ing. engagements of the Treasury, but also to' assist the in dividuals to whom it is indebted, and who have had so much to suffer from our revolution. We also know that M. Mon thinks of settling with the San Fernando bank and the Cen tralization, provided their intentions be moderate. Lastly, yesterday the money required for the payment, in the French and English capitals, of the half-year's interest on the Three per Cents. due at the end of June, was transmitted to Paris. All these occurrences have exercised a favourable influence over the Madrid Exchange, and we think that our paper will reach, both in Spain and abroad, the rate it should have." The Barcelona journals state that the Secretary of the English Embassy had taken his departure for Paris and London, with important dispatches, in re ference to a modification of the present Spanish tariff On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at 27+ for cash, and 28+ at 60 days, anti the Five per Cents. at 20i for cash, and 20+ at 60 days. .• The Paris papers of Tuesday contain a telegraphic dispatch from Toulon, announcing that the fleet, under the command of the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, had set sail on Sunday, the 23d, for Oran. The squadron wa s composed of the three sail of the line, Suffren, Jem 7 mapes, and Triton, the Belle Poule frigate of GO, Asmodeus man-of-war steamer, the steam-corvette Pluton, and the steamers .Phare and Rubis. Twelve hundred troops, including a compaily of engineer; and three companies of marine artillery, have heel; embarked. Several regiments have received order; to march to Toulon to re-inforce the troops under General BUGEAUD, on the frontiers of Morocco. A , Government journal thus describes the position oct :u -pied by the French army in that quarter : • " The camp of Lalla Maghania, at which Marshal Buga and now is, and before which the Morocco troops have tr Ace come to give battle, is nine leagues from Tlemcen, six 'cal ;ues from Ouchda, the first town in the kingdom of Morocco, and between two and three leagues of the frontier. The ba an;- dairy of the two States is well defined both by the topograi shy of the country and historical records. The bad faith of the people of Morocco, and their insensate passion for matt 7 n e ," war against the Christians, have been their only motive.a . for their pretending to drive us to the left bank of the Taff..a, five leagues back. This camp, established by General. aj Lamoriciere, is defended by.a terraced inelosure, with flankb bastions, mounted with cannon. Within are barracks r a timber-work for field hospital-, magazines, and offices ft 4. the staff. It forms the general depUt of provisions, amnir .- nition, and stores, and is the rallying point for all the troop k 4 assembled on the frontier, amounting to between 8,000 ar 9,000 men. This corps is composed of General de Lam(); i ciere's divisior, General Bedeau's brigade, and a brigade jt st brought by Marshal Bugeaud from Oran." On Monday, the motion of the Government for al 1 _ nulling the vote carried on Saturday by a majori ty of 1 ; or rather, for delaying the further consider 11 - tion of the question, whether the rails on the Ps ris and Lyons Railroad, should be laid down by the Sts was carried by a majority of 28, there being for the motion, 182, and against it, 154 ; and on Tiles day the Bill was passed. The Rouen and Nantes Rail , may Bill was also passed by a great majority, and the sum of 28 ,000,000 f. voted for forming the line. Several domiciliary visits were made on Stul day by the Paris police, on the ground that there was some plot in agitation, in favour of the Duke of BORDEAUX. The following is the account given of the affair, in the Carlist journal, the Quotidienne "On Sunday the police paid a visit to the office of the Charitable Society of St. Louis, and found there and carried off some prospectus indicating the conditions on which re lief may be obtained, and the books of accounts. To com plete their petty persecution they removed to, and still keep at, the Prefecture M. de Lepinois, the Secretary. At the same time the police made a descent at the house of Prince Gaston de Montmorency, wbo is absent from Paris, forced the locks of his furniture, and carried off the papers, his manu scripts, and a certain number of busts of Henri of France. Yesterday (Monday) a long search took place at the house of the Duke d'Escars, who, with the Prince de Montmorency, is one of the protectors of the Charitable Society of St. Louis. The police seized the printed papers of the Society, some private letters, and a great number of pamphlets rela tive to the liberty of instruction, which is now, as every one knows, a very factious thing, and, therefore, the letters of the Bishop of Langres and the pamphlet of M. de Ravignon were seized, as necessary elements of the grand plot."

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—On Wednesday last, the boys .of the Royal Hospital School, Greenwich, accompanied by their band, Lieutenant Rouse, and thir officers, visited these gardens. They were received at the lodge, by the proprietor, Mr. Tyler, and welcomed with a royal salute of t we nty-one guns, the band of the establishment also welcoming the strangers with "Hearts of Oak." The boys, 740 .in number, were afterwards regaled with cakes and ale; they all seemed highly delighted with the ." - Great Fire of. London," and returned home in the steamer engaged for. them ; and the superior officer, Lieut. Rouse, expressed himself in terms of the warmest satisfaction to Mr. Tyler, for the great liberality he had displayed in providing such a treat for.the juveniles under his com man d. Admiral : Sir Baldwin . Walker, K.C.B. (Yaver Pasha), who distinguished.himself at the capture of St. Jean d'Acre, in 1840, arrived.at the dlurlington Hotel, Cork street, on Saturday last, from Constantinople.

On Monday the King and Queen of the French again visited the Exhibition of National Industry, and were re ceived with the usual loyal demonstrations. The King passed a very long time in the machine-room, examining the productions, and conversing with some of the manufacturers. Their Majesties left at five for the Tuileries, and at six re turned to Neuilly. M. Thiers has been appointed reporter to the Committee on the Education Bill, by a majority of 6 votes to 3. This has given great satisfaction to the parties who support the claims of the University. We find the following account of the loss of the Manchester steamer in Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.:—" The Paris steamer, which left Hamburgh on the 22d inst., at six in the morning, arrived at Havre on the 24th, at nine in the morning, after a passage of fifty-one hours. Prince d'Anhalt was on board on his way to Paris. This vessel brings ac counts of a violent storm, which took place on the 16th and 17th at the mouth of the Elbe. The Manchester steamer, plying between Hull and Hamburgh, went to pieces, and lost every soul on board, on the rocks of Heligoland, where the Cadiz, a Spanish vessel, was also cast away, but the crew of the latter was saved. The Manchester was one of four packets plying regularly between Hull and Hamburgh. The heat at Paris had somewhat abated. On Monday at two P.M. the thermometer stood at 83 Fahrenheit. A Constantinople letter of the 7th, in the Malta Times, says :—" By the last accounts we have received of the Sul tan, his Majesty must be now at Mytilene—and in the course of a few days will return to the capital. His presence seems to have produced the most lively demonstrations of joy wherever he has been, and to have been hailed even with greater satisfaction by his Christian than his Mussulman subjects." We find the following in the Phare d' Alexandrie of the 6th :—" For the last few days the Viceroy has been residing at the Palace of his Excellency Moharem Bey. He intends to return to town as soon as the sea-bathing season com mences. The Government steam-boat, the Raschid, left on the 25th of last month for Trieste. She had on board his Excellency Ismail Bey, second son of Ibrahim Paella. The new measures which the Health-office have taken to stop the progress of plague, have been most successful, as since our last report we have only heard of 11 cases: the interior of the country still continues healthy. MAW AND POLICE. At the Westminster Sessions, John Williams, connected with a gang of notorious coiners, pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of silver plate from the residence of Sir Edward L. Bulwer. The prisoner was sentenced to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. On hearing the sentence the prisoner exclaimed, " Not lagged yet, neither," and went laughing from the bar. A. - lad,Thamed Sullivan, was charged, at Marlborough-street, with having stolen a quantity of geraniums and other orna mental shrubs from Kensington Gardens. The defendant was seen to get over the wall, and the plants were found in his possession. Fined 2Qs. or a month's imprisonment. At Union Hall, Ann Fendon Croisy, alias Pain, was brought up for re- examination, charged with defrauding several per sons, by representing herself a ward in Chancery, and en titled to ccnsiderable property. Mr. Cottingham, having pe rused a letter which he had just received, on the subject of the prisoner's apprehension, said that the writer of the letter detailed circumstances, by which it appeared that the pri soner had robbed a poor woman at the east end of the town, who committed suicide, which latter event was alleged to be attributable to the scandalous treatment she had experienced at the hands of the prisoner. She was remanded. COURT-FASIZIONA3I3I.2B. The Marquis of Exeter entertained a select circle at dinner yesterday,, in Grosvenor-street. The guests included the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Charles Wellesley, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Manvers, Lord and Lady de Ros and Miss de Ros, Lord Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil, Hon. Henry Pier repoint and Miss Pierrepoint, and the Hon. Captain Percy. The Duke and Duchess of Argyle entertained the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower, Duke of Hamilton, Countess of Lincoln, 'Viscount Morpeth, and a distinguished circle, at dinner on Monday last. A. small party assembled in the evening to meet Lady Eliza beth Leveson Gower, about to be married to the Marquis of Lom. The Duke of Bedford arrived at the railway terminus, near Exeter, by the noon-day train on Saturday, and proceeded immediately with four post horses from Cockram's Ne w Lon don Inn to Endsleigh Cottage, near Tavistock. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort have issued cards for a grand entertainment to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, on the 11th of the ensuing month, at Beaufort House. His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire is on the eve of de parting for Paris on leave of absence. His Excellency's absence will not exceed six weeks, during which Count Jarnac will transact the diplomatic duties of the embassy as chargé d'affaires. Lord Palmerston, at his seat. Broadlands, and Sir William Heathcote, at Hursley Park, will entertain select parties during the approaching agricultural meeting at Southampton. IMYZaCit.Ls., a ICr SOWS The weather still continues very favourable for Vegetation. The heat has considerably al%ited, and there is a constant succession of fine genial showers. To-morrow being the sixth anniversary of the, 1 co ronation of her most gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, it will be observed as a holiday at the Stamp-office, Excise, Custom-house, the St. Katherine's, London, West, and East India Docks; and at the different Government dockyards at Deptford, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke. The Court-martial ordered by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to be held on First Lieutenant Frederick John White, of the Woolwich division, after a protracted sitting has been dissolved, and the charge and finding of the Court, with the remarks of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, promulgated in general orders. The finding is as fol lows :—" The Court having maturely weighed and considered all that has been adduced in support of the prosecution, as well as what has been brought forward on the defence, are of opinion that the prisoner First Lieutenant Frederick John White ,is not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and we therefore acquit him." Lieutenant White is a very clever artist, and the public are indebted to his spirited sketches for the Chinese scenery in Burford's Panorama in Leicester square. The main charge against him was for creating a disturbance in the streets. The Council of the National Complete Suffrage Union met at Birmingham, on Monday afternoon, lMr. Sturge in the chair. The Secretary read the reply from the Loyal Repeal Association of Ireland, to the address recently issued to the people of Ireland to that body by the Complete Suffrage Union. The Council resolved earnestly to recommend to the friends of political freedom in every part of the kingdom, to devote theirimmediate and most careful attention to the state of the registration in their respective localities, and make every effort to get complete suffragists on the roll. The annual entertainment in aid of King's College Hos pital was celebrated on Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern, when a numerous party of the friends and supporters of the institution sat down to a well-served and well-cooked dinner. The chair was taken by Lord Sandon, who was sup ported by Dr. Lonsdale, the Bishop of Lichfield, and upwards of one hundred gentlemen who are connected with the King's College Hospital. _ _ _ At the meeting of the Scotch Corporation, held on the same day, the - treasurer communicated that the amount of the 'proceeds of the Caledonian ball was 553/. 195., and he. proposed that Iwo:thirds should be given to the Caledonian Asylum, and one-third to the Corporation, which was agreed to. The Committee for the increase of insurance reported that they had :insured the picture of Mary, Queeu of Scots (which was painted by a French artist, and for which a large sum was offered by the Scot's College- at Paris many years ago), for 2001. ; the picture oflVng William IV. for 3001 ; that of Mr. James Kianier; the first Master of the Corpora tion, for 20/. ; and the remainder of the pictures for 10/. each. MOVE IL" AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A very extensive business was done in Cotton, at Liver pool, yesterday, and, in most instances, at an advance of Ad. per lb. on the rates of Friday last. Speculators took 4,000 bales, and the total sales were 12,000 bales, viz., 1,000 Surat, 3d. to 34d. ; 600 Pernam, 5# to 6A • 200 Maranham, sd. to 54d. ; and the rest Am er i can , a t sd. to 64d.

The result of the debate in the House of Commons on the motion of Mr. Villiers, relative to the corn-laws, has given great satisfaction to the small clique of monopolists which still remains among the mercantile classes, and is a source of deep regret to the many, who are anxious to see the mer cantile interests of Great Britain extended, the only way in which "ships, colonies, and commerce," cm be materially ad vanced. The exposition of the mover of the resolutions ought to have had, it is considered, more weight with the second branch of the Legislature. Among the many subjects of importance now before the House of Commons is one relating to the future mode of con ducting Savings' Banks, and a point upon this subject is raised which seems, from. a Morning Contemporary, to have led to much difference of opinion. We refer to the clause render ing it imperative that, once a year, the depositors should be compelled to send in their receipt-books for examination. This is a most wholesome clause, as it ensures the verifica tion by the Managers that all sums paid in have been duly received, and it would afford a complete check to any mal-appropriation of money by clerks, &c. Nor can it be successfully contended that the privacy, which is a point as respects individuals who are depositors, would at all be infringed, as the Managers have, as a matter of course, a pe riodical inspection of all the accounts. There is, therefore, safety on the one hand, and privacy as secure as now, on the other. As to the fear that the entries made in the de positors' names might, on the annual inspection, be tampered with, among competent judges, the remark does not require any consideration. Any such step would inevitably lead to instant detection. It is suggested that the books should be enclosed in sealed envelopes, and addressed only to the Managers of the .Savings' Banks themselves. Thus per• fect security would be obtained that the items contained in them would not be altered. There was not any arrivals of interest from the colonies, or elsewhere, this morning. It is satisfactory to state that the commercial markets are most active. There were yesterday more public sales of pro duce brought forward than, we believe, on any one day for some years past. Business in Stocks is limited, and the delivery to-day of a large parcel of Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, causes the market to be rather flat. The security mentioned is at 994 to Consols for the op en i ng h ave b een at 984 4. Ex chequer Bills are worth. 725. to 70.; and East India Bonds 945. to 965. prem. The Reduced Three-and-a4lalf per Cents. brings 102 to 102*. The announcement of the dividend on Spanish Bonds has not had the least effect upon prices, as there was within the last few days no . further doubt upon the subject.

JUSTICE ERSKINE.— It was currently reported in Westminster Hall that Mr. Justice Erskine died this morning. The repot is without foundation. We are glad to learn, that Mr. Percival Bankes, the barrister, is likely to be appointed successor to the late, Mr. O'Hanlon, as Counsel to the Irish Go vernment. He belongs, of course, to the party which support the Government, but he is not a man of bigoted politics—he has ever been consistent, he has distinguished himself by many excellent articles in a periodical publication of high eminence ; but, what is of more importance, he is a good lawyer; he is on the best terms with the leaders of the Liberal party in Ireland, and his appointment would meet with the approbation of his opponents. Mr. Eneas M'Donnell is said to be the only candidate that stands in his way; but will Sir James Graham give another im pulse to public feeling against the Home-o ffi ce— w ill he add oil to the flame which burns with such vigour in Ireland—by giving his support to one who was in former times the most determined' friend of the Irish Catholics, and is now more hostile to them than even Lord Roden or Mr. Plumptre ? MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLI9.—There has been a considerable increase in the number of deaths during the last week. The total number was 920, while during the previous week it was only 855. This in crease has been caused chiefly by deaths from small pox, scarlatina, croup, and violent deaths. Of the 30 persons who died from small-pox, 16 had not been vaccinated. The following is the analysis of the violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, 23 cases, of which 13 were from falls, 6 from animals and car riages, and 1 from machinery ; burns, 7 ; scald, 1 ; drowning, 8 ; and 6 from suicide. The thermometer was highest on Saturday, 79.6, and lowest on Mon day, 46 . 8 degrees. The total amount of rain in inches was only 0.1. THIS DAY'S NEWS NEWCASTLE RACES. YESTERDAY. (BY EXPRESS.)

The object of the motion is to commit the defer', it int for a breach of an injunction granted by the Court. CLERKE NWELL.-(THIS DAY.) George Bathg, ali 'as Flonton, a cab-driver, badge 687, was charged with being drunk, and assaulting police•constables 72 G and 223 G. It appeared from t is e evidence that, this morning between one and two o'clock, tthe constables found the prisoner lying drunk in the carriag , r way, and tearing he would be run over, they aroused him. Ile ruffiian, instead of feeling grateful for the service done him, had no sooner got upon his legs, than lie aimed a deg perate Wow at 72 G, and such was his violence that it reqf tired the combined exertions of four con stables to take him to the station-house. On their way to the station-house, ti to prisoner struck 223 G such a violent blow, that he reeled over to the other side of the street. He then aimed a kick a t a delicate and vital part of the person of the other officer, bu t a smart blow of the truncheon on the shin prevented its ta. k ing effect.
