HIGH *RTATE.3 AT LONDON-BRIDGE TSITS DAY. g o gning ba minutes after 41 Evening —.15 minutes after 5. quire into the state of our commercial marine. In the course of the discussion to which this gave rise, Mr. GLADSTONE stated that the arrangements as to the Stade duties would come into operation in Octo , her next. The motion was agreed to. No other business of importance was transacted, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. The imprisonment of Mr. O'CONNELL and the other traversers has, as was to have been anticipated, created an extraordinary ferment throughout the length and breadth of Ireland. " The people be lieve," says the Irish correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, "that the Liberator has been un justly convicted; they look upon him as a martyr in their cause, and in the prison to which he has been consigned, he is much dearer to them than ever. The Repeal movement, so far from being checked by the sentence, has received a new and powerful impetus. The humbler classes have become still more enthusiastic ; many of the middle classes, who had heretofore kept aloof, are now eagerly joining. Government, in fact, have made it a matter of pride and duty, on the part of the people to swell the ranks of the Repealers. We are now only at the commencement of this move ment, and yet the whole country is ringing with the cry of indignation at the incarceration of Mr. O'Cox riELL ?" This statement is confirmed by the greater part of the Irish journals, which represent the people as being everywhere deeply exasperated by the sen tence passed on their leader—an exasperation which is only kept within due bounds by the earnest persua sions and remonstrances of Mr. O'CorisiELL him self. Were it not for his indefatigable efforts to preserve tranquillity in Ireland, not all the horse, foot, and artillery, and marchings and counter marchings of the troops which Government, for the last six or eight months, has been incessantly pouring into the sister country, would prevent it from being in a state of hazardous disturbance from one end to the other—more especially throughout the south, where the peasantry are Repealers almost to a man. But though—thanks to Mr. O'CorrNELL's strenuous exertions—there is no question that the peace of Ire land will be maintained, yet the tranquillity will at best be but a sullen and reluctant tranquillity; and the imprisonment of the Liberator will be the means of engendering a bitterer feeling towards Government than has ever yet existed in the hearts of the Irish people. And this is about the sum total of all that Ministers will have gained by their late State prosecutions. Of course they imagined that by convicting O'CONNELL they would effectually draw the teeth and pare the claws of the great lion whose roar has so often frightened them ; but instead of this, they have been the means of arming him with additional power ; and they will find ere long—if they have not begun to discover the fact already— that O'CONNELL within the four walls of a prison, debarred from the sight of the thousands—millions of his countrymen, who nightly offer up their fervent prayers for his welfare, is a more influential per sonage than O'CONNELL surrounded by hosts of enthu siastic adherents in the Conciliation Hall, or addressing myriads of the people at one of the monster-meet ings of Tara or Mullaghmast. As for the Repeal agitation being put a stop to by the fine and imprison ment of the " convictediconspirators," such an idea is perfectly preposterous. It may not indeed be carried on so openly as it was last year ; there may be less apparent stir and disquiet on the surface ; but a deep, bitter feeling will be at work underneath, and the spirit of determination will become more intense, just in proportion to the necessity that exists for keeping it concealed. The monster-meetings, greatly as Government deprecated them, acted as a sort of safety-valve to carry off much of the discontent and disgust of the nation ; but this safety-valve closed, we may reasonably anticipate that the dissatisfaction of Ireland with England wi daily acquire fresh force. Government ; had it chosen to do so, might have allayed much of this angry feeling by bringing forward remedial measures in due season ; but it has let opportunity after oppor tunity slip by, and is at this moment unprepared with any one comprehensive project for the benefit of the sister country. The Registration Bill—a noto rious blunder, by-the-bye—it seems to have tacitly given up ; it declines having any thing to do with a reform of the Irish Church Establishment; and though it has issued a Landlord-and-Tenant Commis sion of Inquiry, yet no one knows when the Commis sioners will make their Report, and no one—at least, in Ireland —seems to place any very implicit faith in their impartiality. We have received Madrid Journals of the 27th. The Gazette contains official dispatches, announcing the arrival of the two QUEZNS and the Infanta at Va lencia, on the evening of the 23d. They were re ceived with great rejoicings. The Barcelona journals bring news of a very different description. More wholesale murders are thus announced in the Verdad:— " Twelve Carlists were shot at Morella on the 19th, among whom were two officers, a captain, and a lieu tenant, who had served under Cabrera. Since the 15th of April 120 Carlists have been shot in Catalonia." On Saturday the French Chamber of Deputies, after a very desultory discussion, voted the supple.. mentary credits for the departments of Foreign Affairs, the Interior, and Commerce, and Agricul ture. During the lengthened talk to which these votes gave rise almost every topic connected with foreign affairs had been touched by one speaker or another; and it is gratifying to find that England for once escaped without blame from any party. In fact, the rage against this country is wearing itself out, partly because there really is no ground of com plaint, but chiefly, we believe, because the writers in English journals have generally treated the attacks of the Legitimatist and the Republican party with sileet contempt. The Journal des Debats, in a hu- morons article, makes a few comments on the ram bling discourses delivered by Messrs. Tunas, Mau- Gum, BILLAULT and Co. "In following the debate," it says, "We have travelled from north to south, from east to west, with a facility of locomotion the very thoughts of which brings on giddiness. From Monte Video, whence we returned with M. CHE GARAY, M. DE LAGRANGE transported us to China, and from that country M. DE VATRY suddenly whirled us off to St. Domingo, and without giving us time to breathe. M. MAU GUIN embarked us for Spain, and there treated us with a lecture on history. This lecture, it would ap pear, was a very heavy affair, for no one considered it worth the least notice. M. DE ST. MARC GIRARDIN put some questions relative to the Greek Constitution and the disturbances in Albania. According to the original treaty by which Greece was erected into a kingdom, and to which Eng land, France, and Russia were parties, it was stipulated that the Crown, failing the direct line of the present KING, should go to one of his brothers, or their descendants: By the new Constitution that clause is set aside, as the successors of Onio must profess the religion of the Greek Church, and as the Royal Family of Bavaria is Catholic, they conse quently are excluded. M. GuizoT said the three Powers did not think themselves justified in inter fering, and had merely stated their objections to the Court of Munich. In reference to the disturbances in Albania, he said the most pressing instructions had been sent on the subject to the French Ambassador at Constantinople, and that owing to his exertions, and those of the British Ambassador, energetic measures had been adopted by the Porte, and large forces were now on their march to repress the Albanians and pro tect the Christians. Several of the journals advert to the visit of the Emperor of RUSSIA to this country, and express some alarm lest Queen VICTORIA should transfer her at tachment from LOUIS PHILIPPE to NICHOLAS. The Constitutionnel thus alludes to the imperial visit "The Emperor of Russia is now in London. At the very moment that the Journal de la Haye announced, with the affirmative tone which characterises semi-official prints, that the journey to London of its Sovereign's brother-in law was postponed to next year, the Emperor Nicholas, faithful to his taste for surprises, was arriving at Berlin on the 26th, starting for Brunswick on the 27th, rapidly crossing Germany, availing himself as much as possible of the railroads, and arriving on the 30th, at 11 A.M , at the Hague, where the Queen and Prin ces o f the Royal . Family were e receiving him at the palace of N oor d-Ei ne. He was to start again next day, for London. He has now been twenty-four hours with Queen Victoria. Greater impressement could not be displayed in responding to the advances made by Sir 1 - {. Peel to the Emperor, in a speech, inter pocula, which everybody remembers. It will be recollected that the Prime Minister of Great Britain spoke with marked affection of the cordial understanding which united his Government with that o f R uss ia. It is very probable that Mdo Brumiew was no extempore speech . Be this , as it may, the old enchaiit add summoned Tories havewho to stranger to thatt t Cabinet, on friendly extempore powerful of the Sovereigns .. style most ently legitimate.

THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND THE POLES. Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and would feel obliged by his inserting in his columns the accompanying letter, addressed to Lord Dudley Stuart by the Marquis of Northampton.---June 4, 1844. MY DEAR LORD, —I am induced to address to you he following observations, as I think that it is im portant they should be made public by some one, although I a►n quite aware that they must occur to the minds of most reflecting persons. I believe that they would come better from myself than from almost any one else. In saying this, I am actuated by no per sonal vanity ; it is not from personal considerations, but from those of the official situation that I hold, that I have formed this opinion. As President of the Royal Society, I am the official, though in no other way the representative of English science. In that capacity lam neutral in politics, though I have of course the same right as any other individual to express my opinion when not in the President's chair. It is this official neutrality that encourages me now to address you. In my official capacity I am bound to express the sense en tertained by men of science in England for the liberal manner in which the Russian Government promotes the advancement of knowledge, and especially for the kindness with which they received the present Presi dent of the Geographical Society, Mr. Murchison, in his recent geological tour in that country. Still more am I called on to state how much the Royal Society feel the cordial manner in which the Emperor has supported the great magnetical inquiries nowgoing on under the sanction and at the expense of himself, of our own, and of other enlightened Sovereigns. It is not, however, for the purpose of making the foregoing prefatory observations, that I write to you, nor yet for that of saying that nothing shall prevent me from expressing my own individual sympathy with the many brave but unfortunate individuals for whom you take so deep an interest, and whose pa tience in poverty and exile must excite respectful admiration in every generous bosom. My object in writing to you is to make some re marks on the approaching Polish ball. I rejoice to learn that it is not intended to postaone it in conse quence of the arrival of his Imperia?Majesty. lam convinced that the committee have acted wisely in coming to this decision. I feel sure that the Em peror would not have felt at all obliged by the post ponement, and that he would, however mistakenly, have considered it as rather an act of servility than civility, and, therefore, rather deserving of contempt than gratitude. Indeed, it would have conveyed no very flattering compliment to his own feelings. If, indeed, the ball were to be postponed on account of any other fete on the same day, which would inter fere with its success, that would be a very different and very proper reason for the delay. I trust that the Emperor will understand that no incivility to him personally is conveyed by those who like myself intend to be present at the ball : any in tentional slight or affront to so distinguished a foreigner would be disgraceful to our national cha racter. lam sure you will allow me to take this opportunity to address a few words to the Poles themselves. I am convinced that to the greater number it must be quite unnecessary ; but there may be some young and ardent spirits who may require to be reminded that the exalted personage who has just reached our shores, is as much the guest of this country as they are, and that we are not only bound to be hospitable to him ourselves, but also to take care that he receives no incivility from others while residing in the dominions of cur Sovereign. We are bound to resent any affront to him as if it was committed against ourselves. The Poles would show a very ill sense of any obligation that they may owe to Great Britain, were they in any way to treat with con tumelfone who is now trusting himself to British courtesy and British honour. Moreover, they should remember, that any improper conduct on their part would deeply injure them in the opinion of their friends in England and elsewhere, and might prove, at some future time, most prejudicial to their coun try.

Loi:don, June 3, 1844. To Lord Dudley Stuart, &c., &c. Lord Charles Fitzroy paired with Lord Charles Manners, in favour of Lord John Russell's motion on the sugar duties, Mr. Christie paired in favour of Lord John Rus- sell's motion on the sugar duties with Mr. Christopher, against it. — DOVER, JUNE 3, 1844.—(FROM OUR CORRES PONDENT.)—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and her suite, arrived by special train of the South-Eastern Railway, shortly before noon to-day, and immediately embarked on board the Princess Alice steamer, Captain Smithett, for Calais. Her Majesty was received by Col. Jones, .the Commandant, Captain Mercer, R.N., the Mayor of Dover, &c., and was at tended by a guard of honour from the 68th regiment. A royal salute was fired from the western heights on her arrival, and the same compliment paid as she left the harbour. Her Majesty will have a fine passage of about two hours and a half to Calais. On the subject of the game-laws, we) beg to call attention to the sentence at Bicester, reported elsewhere, of a Thomas Causley, to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour, for having killed a partridge and taken her eggs. The reason assigned for passing this atrocious sentence was that, unless a stop be put to this system of birdnesti ng , " there would not in any game in the neighbourhood of Bicester!" So wretches are to rot in gaol, and their families starve out of it, that gentlemen may pop their guns at vermin that have been fed at the expense of the farmers and labourers holding gardens! Mr. Dormer, one of the magis trates (not one of the reverend ones), very properly and humanely "declined signing the convictions, and saw no reason for adding hard labour' to the sentences."—Mge t . bury News.

FATAL OCCURRENCE AT BATEIGATE.—This town has again been the scene of another fatal occurrence, arising from intemperance. Wednesday last, being the day after the fair, numbers we: e going about the neigh bourhood in a state of intoxication, and it would appear that a fight had taken place between two men, named Radcliffe and Gardner. The father of the former, an elderly man, interfered, and tried to separate the parties. In doing so, he unfortunately received a blow or was pushed aside, and reeled and fell backwards. He was immediately carried to an adjoining house, where me dical aid was procured, but to no effect : the poor man expired almost immediately. The guilty parties are committed to the burgh gaol to await the investigation of the authorities.—Scotch paper. INCENDIARISM.—We made the public acquainted, a few weeks ago, with a daring act of incendiariem, which might have laid the village of Exning, near Newmarket, in ashes. Rewards for the apprehension of the incendiary have been since liberally offered. The Norwich Life Insurance Company have come forward with a reward of low. ' • Mr. Stigwood, whos e property was burned to the ground, has offered 501., and Government has pledged itself to pay 1001. on apprehension of the miscreant. MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. Stocks close very firmly this afternoon, and as the transfer books for Consols are now shut, the security is quoted ex dividend, being at 98i a for Account. Ex chequer Bills and the heavy Stocks were without al teration. The Spanish Bonds did not rally. The Actives left otf at 23 to 23i, and the Three per Cents. at 34i. Pe ruvian were 27 to 28.

By the arrival of the Pearl to-day from Brazils, a confirmation only has been received of news so far as commerce is concerned, previously known ; but the newspapers received by her announce political and do mestic events of some importance. In the first place, a general amnesty had been proclaimed for all the parties implicated in the disturbances in the provinces of Minas Geraes and La Paulo, and all the state prosecutions have been abandoned. Perhaps it would be wise in our Government to follow the example with regard to Ire land. The ex-Regent of Brazils, who placed himself at the head of the movement, cannot be benefited by this act of clemency, having died of a paralytic affection about twelve months since.

A well-known City gentleman has induced Mr. Pattison, the Member for London, to present the following petition, of which copies are in private circulation : " To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The petition of James Wilkinson, of Leadenhall-street, in the City of London, " Humbly showeth— " That for more than thirty years your petitioner has been actively engaged in mercantile affairs, during which period he has witnessed several severe revulsions in commerce, manufactures, and agri cu lt ure , none o f which appeared to be the result of natural causes. After seeing numerous wealthy mercantile, banking, and trading establishments, reduced to insolvency, without any apparent indiscretion or mismanagement on their part; he was induced to inquire how such events could happen, and was not long in discovering the real cause—namely, the excessive issues of paper money ; which, whenever resorted to, has invariably been followed by wild speculations, gam blings, and foreign loanings—displacing gold money, and ultimately ending in a diminished and inadequate quantity of paper money, and, with that, low prices for the prs ducts of industry, causing ruin and bankruptcy to the producers, and ultimately spreading the same through all ranks of traders, merchants, and bankers. To put an end to such a system, your petitioner has, for several years, been exerting himself in all sorts of ways, being of opinion that it would be more to the interest of bankers themselves, as well as the community at large, that there should be uniformity in amount, which could only be obtained by one bank of issue, and that bank responsible to the Legisla ture; being also of opinion that the losses sustained by pro vincial banks of issue caused by revulsions, far exceed in amount all the profits derived from such issues; it was, therefore, with indescribable feelings of pleasure that he read the reported speech of the first Minister of the Crown on the 6th inst., relative to banking and the Bank of England charter. Your petitioner would have preferred vest ing the power of issuing paper money in the Sovereign alone ; and the amount fixed by the Legislature ; this, however, he fears her Majesty's Ministers are not prepared to adopt, but the outline of the measure proposed by the Minister is so great an improvement on the present system, that your petitioner sincerely hopes your Honourable House will give it your support. In which case, he begs to call yo u r attention to that which alone can interfere, with the future uniformity of the currency under the proposed measure, and that is, the exportation of gold and silver, but which may be counteracted by imposing an export duty of 16s. per ounce on gold, and is. per ounce on silver. This would operate in favour of the exportation of the products of British industry, as well as counteract the heavy imposts levied on them by foreign nations, and could injure none but absentees. It would, also, to a great extent, deprive capitalists of the power of negotiating foreign loans, and thereby /*event them duping the unwary, as they, unfortunately, have been doing during the la 4 twenty years, in aid of civil wars in Spain, and rebellion in her colonies—in creating competitors in manufactures in North America, and in the ruin of many of their dupes. That to the millions of gold thus lost to the country may be traced the greater part of the sufferings of those engaged in agriculture, manufactures, and trade, and in exchange for whose products it had originally been brought into the country. Your petitioner, therefore, implores your Honour able House to pass into laws the measures proposed by the first Minister of the Crown, upon banking and the Bank of England charter, and also to pass a law imposing an export duty of 16s. per ounce on gold, and is. per ounce on silver, whether as bullion, coin, or manufactured, and for which your petitioner will feel grateful, and, as in duty bound, will ever pray. " JAMES WILKINSON. "May, 1844." The accounts from India have not excited much interest, being of a very meagre character, and the Funds conse quently have remained uninfluenced by them. Consols for immediate transfer have been supported at the advanced rates of 994 to par, and have even been as high as 100 i to 4. For time the quotations are 1006 t o 4 . Exchequer Bills realise 725. premium, being firm ; and India Bonds are at 945. pre mium. Bank Stock has been steady at 199 to 4; but India Stock has fluctuated from 288 to 2894. The New Three-and a-Half per Cents. have been high er , v i z., 103 to 4. The Foreign investments have been heavy as regards Spanish, which have been at 234 to 23 for the Actives, and at 344 to 4 for the Three per Cents. The Passives are 54. Portuguese Converted have been steady at 47 ; and Mexican have risen, in anticipation of good news, we presume, to 354. Colombian are 13*. Dutch Two -and-a-Half per Cents have been 62 to 614.

IL Hobh ous e. Sir Robert Peel left town about ten o'clock yester day morning, by the Great Western Railway, for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. Mr. Mark Philips had an interview, yesterday, with Mr. Gladstone, at the Board of Trade. Yesterday the Committee of the Baronetage for Pri ♦ileges, held their anniversary meeting at the Clarendon Hotel. ASCOT HEATH RACES. These races commenced yesterday, but, notwithstand ng the anticipated presence of her Majesty, and the an rouncement of the intended visit of the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony, the attendance on the Heath did not exceed, if it equalled, what we have wit nessed on former occasions on the first day, even with out those attractions. It is true the company was highly respectable, and the Grand Stand very extensively pa tronised ; but there was an obvious falling off in the amount of equipages ; and the general character of the meeting, as compared with our ancient re collections, lacked that spirit and animation which it has been our good fortune to have had to record. This was not to be ascribed to the un favourable state of the weather, for that was alto gether delightful; the long prevailing wind from the north-east having veered round to the south-west, thereby effecting a pleasant and agreeable change— neither could it be ascribed to the want of promised sport, for the programme of the day's amusement em braced on paper no less than eight races, six of which were contested, as will be hereafter seen. As little could it be attributed to the want of zeal on the part of the Earl of Rosslyn, the principal acting steward, whose exertions to maintain the prosperity of the meeting have fully equalled those of his predecessors, the Earl of Errol and Lord Kinnaird; in fact, his Lordship has ad vanced in the march of improvement, and by the erection of new stands and the construction of a com modious weighing stand, with convenient apartments for the especial accommodation of the jockeys and trainers, as well as other useful offices, has succeeded in rendering this course in these respects superior to any other in the kingdom. To trace the cause of this fall ing off, therefore, is somewhat difficult, unless it is to be attributed to the suppression of those sources of excite ment which existed almost from time immemorial, but which the recent orders from the Home-office have most effectually extinguished. On reaching the heath yes terday there was not a single " club-house" to be seen. The tribe of speculators on the credulity of the public, forming in themselves no inconsiderable body, was totally extirpated ; and the absence of those temples of fortune into which the unwary were so frequently seduced to their utter ruin, gave a new and almost rustic feature to the scene. The suddenness of the change had no doubt its influence on the minds of thousands who were prepared for extraordinary excitement, and who could ill accommodate themselves to the mere momentary pleasure of a race in which, perhaps, they took no per sonal interest ; time will, however, we have no doubt produce a more wholesome state of feeling, and reconcile all classes to a state of things which, on reflection, must convince them their own advantage has been consulted. Shortly before one o'clock, to the mortification of the multitude who anxiously expected the arrival of the Queen, it was rumoured that this gratification would be denied them, and that, in fact, from the delicate state of her Majesty's health, and the excite ment to which she had recently been exposed. such an attempt would be injudicious. There were few who did not sympathise in this just cause for an ab sence which all heartily lamented ; but, ere time was allowed for consideration, the approach of the royal cortege attracted universal attention, and, in a few minutes, the royal carriages, preceded by the Earl of Rosslyn, and the usual manner of yeoman priekers, and led horses, advanced up the Course, in the foremost of which his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of S axon y, were quickly recog nised and loudly cheered. Th ese ex p r essions of respect were acknowledged by all three repeatedly bow ing right and left. In the carriages which followed were the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the members of her Majesty's Household, and servitors of the illustrious visitors, all of whom shared in the hearty welcome with which they were greeted. For the names of the occupants of the numerous car riages, we must refer to the Court Circular, only re marking that the ladies who formed part of the imposing procession, being in mourning, detracted much from the lively aspect which it usually presents. On Prince Albert, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Saxony appearing at the windows of the royal stand, they were again enthusiastically cheered. All were plainly attired, the Emperor of Russia and the Kin.. of Saxony s i mp l y wearing blue frock coat s . Shortly after the royal party had entered the stand, the gratifying fact was made public that, in commemoration of his visit, the Emperor of Russia had announced his intention to give annually, as long as he lives, the sum of 5001. to be added to the race fund of Ascot, thus liberally and nobly following the example of his son, who, it may be borne in mind, con tributes 300/. every year at Newmarket, to be run for un der the name of the Cesarewitch Stakes. This intelli gence quickly spread from one end of the Course to the other, and if the multitude were previously disposed to testify their gratitude for the Royal visit, this generosity increased the feeling of admiration, which was mani fested throughout the day by renewed enthusiastic cheers when opportunities were afforded, and these were frequent, fbr, as the horses were saddled in front of the royal stand, previous to the races, and thy jockeys returned to weigh close at hand, ceremonies to which his Majesty paid particular attention, he was constantly brought in view of the public. Both the Emperor and the King of Saxony evidently felt great gratification at th e scene which was p resen t e d to their view, and at the conclu sion of the race for the Gold Vase, which was won with perfect ease by Alice Hawthorn, both descended from the stand, accompanied by Prince Albert, and exa mined the extraordinary mare with great minute ness, the Emperor of Russia patting her with obvious satisfaction. This sympathy in British sports renewed the pleasure of the spectators, and their expressions of delight could scarce be kept within bounds, while they pressed so closely round the royal pair,. that the King of Saxony with difficulty escaped from their cordial embraces. The Gold Vase had previously been exhibited in the Royal Saloon, and excited the strongest expressions of approbation, from the excellent taste which it displayed. It is in the form of a tankard of large dimensions, of the time of Henry the Eighth, the lid and handle displaying the combat between St. George and the Dragon. The dragon isl in the act of seizing the shield of St. George in his mouth, the knight having been thrown from his horse, which lies prostrate at his side, while the latter plunges his sword into the body of his furious assailant. The horse, which is beautifully proportioned, is in dead silver, the dragon and knight are gilt, and the other ornamental parts of the vase are happily relieved by the intermixture of silver and gold, the whole form ing a very magnificent and costly prize, highly creditable to the establishment of the Messrs. Garrards, in which it was modelled and manufactured. Between the race for the Ascot Stakes and the Gold Vase, the royal party retired to lunch ; and, the race for the Vase concluded, they returned to Windsor Castle in the same order in which they arrived, their departure being marked by tenfold manifestations of popular gratification. The remainder of the sports were quickly brought to a conclusion, and the meeting broke up with a de gree of order and regularity consistent with the moderate amount of company, and with a pleasing anti cipation, not only that the Emperor of Russia and the King of Saxony will again honour the course with their presence on Thursday, but with an anxious hope that our Gracious and Beloved Queen may once more gratify the wishes of her loyal and devoted subjects by her presence. From the various objects which necessarily demanded our attention upon such an occasion, we had little oppor tunity to collect a list of the fashionables present ; but we may state that, in addition to those.whose names will be found as occupying the nine carriages which consti tuted the royal cortege, we noticed the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, Duke of Rutland • Marquises of E xe t er , Normanby, Cl anr i car d e , and Worcester ; Earl and Countess of Albemarle, Earl and Countess of Sefton, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Stradbroke, Earl of Suffield, Earl Verulam ; Lords G.

The follo w i ng i s an account of the sports in the order in which they were run off. We may mention, for the guidance of our metropolitan friends, that, in consequence of the grand review in the Home Park, the races of to-day will not commence until three o'clock.

SAVAGE 13 oLL.—Erasmus Galson, of Lorton Manor House, near Cross, Somersetshire, has invented a most valuable, though, at the same time, simple instru ment to prevent savage bulls from injuring persons or ani mals. Mr. G. has communicated his clever invention to the Royal Agricultural Society, with the following remark :—" I turned a three-year old savage bull with a cow into a pad dock, and also turned a yearling bull with them ; in a few minutes the young bull found that he was master and punished the old one severely; and I was shortly after able to take off the irons, and as long as I had him he never offered to hurt a person, although when I bought him he had tossed several persons, and was sold to me as incurable." The instrument is made of a small iron rod and chain, the chain end being fastened to a ring in the bull's nose, and the rod hanging on a pivot fixed in an iron cap on the bull's horn. The end of the rod projects some inches from the horn, and whenever the animal attempts to toss, the end of the horn coming in contact with any object is forced upwards or downwards, and the bull's nose drawn up, by which the ani mal is severely punished, and incapacitated through pain, from committing mischief. Any blacksmith can make the instrument, and its cost is not above five shillings. THE CLOWN AND THE CRITIC.—A celebrated clown once produced on the stage a rusty old sword. "This," said he, "is the sword with which Balaam smote his ass." One of the audience replied, " I thought he had no sword; flirt only wished for one." " You're right," rejoined the clown, and this is the very sword he wished for. SUMMARY OrNEWS AND Vat) Optnton. " Who runs may read." PONLEXGRT. On Saturday Louis Philippe, accompanied by General Friant, paid a visit to the picture galleries at Versailles, and in the evening returned to Neuilly. The Journal de Commerce states that the electors of Mor laix intend to take advantage of the vacancy in the represen tation of that place, caused by the death of Admiral Lalande, to return Admiral Dapetit Thouars as their representative in the Chamber of Deputies. The election takes place on the 23d of June. The Duke de Nemours was to set off on Monday or Tues day for Metz, in order to organise the camp which is to be established in that quarter. The Presse says that the Prince de Joinville is expected at Rochfort, from the 20th to the 30th of this month. Letters from Geneva state that tranquillity has been com pletely re-established in Switzerland, and that the route by the Simplon, which was in the hands of the hostile parties, is now open to travellers. Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the 18th May. The term of the suspension of the freedom of the press ex pired on the 23d ult. In two days, however, on the plea of the absence, flight, or imprisonment of some of the persons who were guarantees for the editors, the publi cation of the papers was again stopped, and the distributors of the papers already published were arrested and imprisoned Law AND POLICE. Edward HardiraiabO7oTenlpTo374laTilessrs. Sims and Co's, Steel-yard, Upper Thames-street, was charged, at th e Guildhall, with stealing at various times a quantity of old sheet-copper, and copper nails, and Mr. Richard Buckle, a brassfounder, in Seacoal-lane, Skinner-street, was charged with receiving a portion of the property.

The prosecutrix did not appear, and it was proved had given a false address. Stevens was immediately discharged. Joseph Mitchell, employed more than twenty years in the Commercial Docks, Rotherhithe, was charged at the same office, with the unlawful possession of 42ilbs. of foreign leaf tobacco, liable to a duty of 71. 15s. 6d., the penalty for which was 100/. Not being able to pay the fine he was sent tit prison for six months. - An old man named William Reeves, attended at Bromley to answer an information laid under the Game Act, charging him with unlawfully having set a wire for the purpose of snaring game, without having a game certificate, and for which offence he had subjected himself to a penalty of 51.

There are two Government measures before the House o Commons to register and to regulate " Joint Stock Com panies." Under the first all companies will be registered and regulated, as well as to give power to impose penalties (and recover them in a summary manner) on such persons falsely alleging that they were patronised by eminent indi viduals.
