THE BEER hliL. TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD BROUGHAM. My LORD,—I can refrain no longer from addressing you on a subject which not only concerns myself, but thousands of others in the same situation. You will par don me if, through ignorance, I may make any remark that may be offensive to your Lordship. You, my Lord, have taken a deal of trouble to ruin forty-five thousand families, by your hatred to the Beer Bill. Now, my Lord, the business of a beer-seller, you know little of, or you never would have stigmatized forty-five thousand, as being the lowest of the low; you say a deal table, a bench, and a broken mug are all that is necessary to begin business with. My Lord, whoever gave your Lordship this information, deceives you, and should your Lord ship come to this part of the country, I should like to take your Lordship by the hand; and show you a number of neat, and clean little rooms, with bright fire-irons, mahogany chairs and tables, and much better furniture than many low licenced houses under the old system ; and, my Lord, perhaps ten or twelve respectable mechanics, reading Lord Brougham's speech on the Liberty of the Subject, the Free Trade System, &c. &c. Now, my Lord, as everything has been said, which can serve to lower the honest beer seller in the estimation of the world, give me leave to ex plain a few things to your Lordship concerning the situation in which a beer seller is placed :—Ten o'clock (or what hour the Magistrates choose to name) comes; here we are under the Magistrate's orders, and in five minutes after the given time, two policemen come to your door and window shut, to demand if any one is in the house, and to search the same if they think proper and pass on Now, my Lord, a few doors beyond shall be an old licensed house—fiddling, dancing, windows and doers open, gas flaring bright as the sun at midday; but the po lice pass on, they have no orders to go into these houses. My Lord, are these houses licensed under the old system, for midnight brawls? If they were put on the same foot ing as the beer-sellers, and a regular time fixed for open ing and closing, the Magistrates would soon be able to ascertain which were the most proper persons to keep a public-house. Is it not notorious that the Brewers and Maltsters frequently put pugilists, the swell mob, pick pockets, and such persons into public-houses, because curiosity will bring customers, to see the notorious characters ? Now, my Lord, I shall finish this my first letter, by informing your Lordship that I read your speech in the House of Lords, on the third reading of the Beer Bill, and bad any person in my house used such lan guage to another customer, as your Lordship did to Lord Melbourne and the Bench of Bishops, he would have been put up and tried by the strong beer act, and no doubt fined four or six tankards of strong beer; and yet these are the places your Lordship calls meetings of the pests of society. My Lord, your great and comprehensive mind must feel that this comes from one who has some feeling for himself and others, and who consider he acts on your Lordship's principles, which, from all I ever heard of your Lordship, are these—That a sparrow has as much right to sing as a nightingale, and a poor man has as much right to vindicate his character as a Duke. I remain, my Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient servant, W. M. MATTHEWS. Lime Kiln•lane, Bristol. ADDRESS FROM THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE. TO THE CENTRAL AGRI CULTURAL SOCIETY OF GREAT BRI TAIN. Sin,—On behalf the Council of the Anti- Corn-law League, I trouble you as the Chairman of the Special Meeting of the superintending Committee of the Central Agricultural Society of Great Britain and Ireland, which was held on the 6th instant, at 34, Manchester -street, Manchester-square, London, for the purpose of replying publicly to an address from that meeting to the landed in terest of the United Kingdom. The Council have read with astonishment in that Ad dress, the subjoined paragraph : " The designs of the Anti-Corn-law League being now fully before the country, the Committee of this Society are desirous of calling attention to means which are required to counteract these designs, as there can no longer be a doubt that it is the aim of the free trade party to destroy agriculture in the British islands, and to throw this great nation upon the precarious supply of foreign and hostile 1 markets " 1 It is truly stated that the " designs" of the Anti- Corn law League are fully before the public. They were an nounced in the Report of the Delegates, dated Brown's Hotel, Westminster, 19th March, 1839, and which Report was printed and widely circulated, and advertized in the newspapers. Your attention is called to the following extract from that documen•.:— " In seeking to destroy this and every other monopoly which prevents the free exchange of our commodities, for the productions of other countries, the Delegates are so far from wishing to promote the interests of one portion of the community at the expense of the rest, that they are willing and desirous that the protection given to home manufac. tures should be simultaneously withdrawn, and that every one of their countrymen should be allowed freely to exchange the fruits of his labour for the productions of all other countries." From the general accuracy with which the proceedings of our body, from its origin, are detailed in your address, I cannot but assume your previous acquaint ance with the extract from our Report to which I have called your particular attention. The Delegates, having thus disclaimed the privilege of compelling the rest of the community to purchase their cottons, woollens, silks, linens, hardwares, &c., from them, were entitled to expect a reciprocal disclaimer in return ; but they are told, in your address, that such a principle involves the de struction of British agricuiture. Does not your objection to their equitable proposal imply an avowal, that the agri culture of this country owes its prosperity less to its own resplecca than to compulsory support from the rest of the community ? Such is the inevitable conclusion from the terms of your address; but to suppose it possible that any considerable portion of the landowners of this empire would submit to hold their property upon a tenure so obviously iunjust and lamentably degrading, were to affix the brand of pauperism upon a class which has always assumed to oc cupy the most exalted and least dependent station in the community. But whatever may be the position of the landowners, it must not be supposed to be identical with that of the agri culturists, than which no two interests, regarding them in connection with the Corn.laws, can be more distinct. It is to be regretted for the seke of truth, the interests of justice, and in order to a clear understanding of this question, that the terms used in its discussion have been so vague and indiscriminate. The Council hope the definitions now submitted to your attention, mar, by removing all ambiguity on this point, render the future argument on the subject more safe and satis factory than it has hitherto been. " LANDOWNER" and " AGRICULTCkIST"—words so pertinaciously con founded—imply distinct occupations, and (as affected by the Corn-law) diverse interests. It is the interests of the landowner, if a landlord, to obtain the highest possible rent for his land, whilst it is equally the interest of the latter, if a tenant, to obtain the land he cultivates on the lowest possible terms. And as it is the value of the pro duce which rules the value of the soil itself, any law which enhances the price of the produce must necessarily ncrease the rental of the land. How, then, in the face of such such truisms, can it for a moment be pretended, that these two classes possess a common interest in the Corn. law ? As to that far more numerous class of agriculturists, the farm-labourers ; whilst their interests are intimately allied with those of the farmer, they are no more connected in interest with the landowner than with any other class of the community. It may seem trite to observe, and yet it is necessary to add, that the term agriculturists (vide any dictionary) means the cultivator or tiller of the sail, which it will not be pretended is a true description of the land owner as a landlord. The term " landed interest,"adopted in your address, and which we find so frequently used in the discussion of this question, could only be applied with propriety to inhabitants of Earth, by the beings of some other element. It is unmeaning, and it may be questioned whether it be English. It is to the LEGISLATIVE LANDOWNER, and to him alone, that we oppose ourselves in this righteous struggle. For his exclusive and transient benefit were the Corn-laws devised. We are therefore entitled, upon every principle of common sense and common interest, to claim, and we do claim, the co-operation of the agriculturists, "con_ vinced," to use the language of the Delegates in their Report already quoted, " that the agriculturists have suffered as great moral and pecuniary injuries from the Corn-laws as any other class, and that the support given to those laws by ;he farmers and labourers, is owing solely to Inis taken views of their operation upon their own particular interests." On these grounds the Council of the League have made their appeal to public opinion, and by the result they will be content to abide; and they are prepared, before that tribunal, to meet airy opponent who may venture to gut s tion the great principles of truth and justice upon which they have taken their stand, and of this ultimate triumph of which it were impiety to doubt. I have the honour, &c., G. WILSON, Manchester, Jnne 22 f .:nairman of Executive C ounc il , 1831). Mr. Howard (M.P Carlisle) has paired cif from the Ist until the lath of July, with Mr. C. Codring ton, M. P. for East Gloucestershire. NATIONAL BEVERAGES.—The love of the . Hibernian for Whiskey, the Scotsman his Usquebaugh, awl the Welshman his Ale, have been the theme of many a pleasing " ditty ;" hut E. and T. Taylor's British Wines, spld at 17, Low. r Holborn, are so popular and deservedly celebrated, that they bid fair to become the pride and boast of Old England, as they combine all the brilliancy of the growth of genuine Foreign Wine, at one third the cost; while health sparkles in the glass, and the palate rejoices in the most delicately flavoured juice of the grape, grow: * on English soil. We are happy lo find the observations which have been made, from time to time, by ourselves, and Contemporaries, with reference to the custom of interring the dead in the midst of a dense population, has had a hen, ficial effect. We are induced to make this remark from a visit to the South Metropolitan Cemetry, at Nor wood, where interments are daily taking place. The ex e Pedin g b eauty of the surrounding country, and of the espot itself, added to th e i mpos i ng appearance of the chapels and buildings, render it one of the most attractive of public works in the neighbourhood of London. Severs of the Bishops and many of the Nobility, have already i spected it, f rom whom it has received unqualified praise. n By her last trip to New York, which she per formed in the almost incredibly short space of thirteen days, the Great Western has more than maintained the high character she had previously acquired. Considering all the circumstances of such a voyage, we believe this passage surpasses any thing yet achieved in the way of steam navigation. 'FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE FOREIGN-OFFICE, JUNE 25, 1839.

GRANVILLE'S "SPAS OF GERMANY."--- As the usual season for visiting the Continent has now arrived, tourists, whether for recreation or health, are doubtless busily employed in selecting that indispensable compagnon de voyage, a good " Guide Book" to the spot towards which they bend their steps. Fashion, no less than taste, and the necessity often induced by the exigency of combining the pursuit of health with that of pleasure, points to Germany as the most distinguished resort of those crowds of tourists who either fancy themselves obliged to escape from the ennui of an English summer, or desire to test the healing efficacy of the wonder-working waters of the Continent. To all such how opportune must be the appearance of the new and cheaper edition of Dr. Granville's celebrated " Guide to the Spas of Germany," now comprised in one portable volume, yet containing all the illustrations, &c., of the former edition, and published at about one-half the original price 1 As a Contemporary justly observes—" Dr. Granville's book is as indispensable to the traveller as his portmanteau or travelling bag, or purse to ply his way." The flomps tire Independent says the Tories of Hampshire, headed by the Earl of Malmesbury, have it in contemplation to invite his Grace of Wellington to a public dinner somewhere in the course of the summer. A prelimi nary meetir.g will be held at St. John's Rooms, on Fr:day, the 13th of next month, when the necessary arrangements will be resolved on. CROYDON RAILWAY.—For the week ending the 11th of June, the number of passengers was 14,444; and for that ending the 18th, 15,312; the receipts for whom amounted to 1,7461. Os. --- ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—The last meeting for the session was held on Monday evening, when several valuable communications were read. The tables were covered with a large collection of charts and maps, donations to the Society, and the most interesting was a map of Hawaii, executed by native artists, under the direction of the:missionaries. Colonel Cohen commu nicated some particulars oldie re-discovery of the Aurora Mantis, in the South Atlantic. Ocean, %ituated half way between the Falkland and South Georgian Islands, which were discovered about eighty years since by a Spanish ship, but afterwards lost. They have since been ex punted from the Admiralty maps, but may upon this authority be restored. Mr. Wilkinson communicated some interesting particulars on the valley of the Nile, and the present and past states of the level of the river, exhibiting for the first time his large map of Egypt. The President announced that the Council .had obtained an appropriate house in Pall mall, to which th e y wou ld i mme di ately re. move, and adjourned the meeting over the recess to November. WATERLOO -BRIDGE.—A great reduction in the tolls on carriages and other vehicles passing over this bridge, will take place after the Ist of July.

There is a place where persons in cus tody are confined, He was near that place on the morning in question. The prisoners at the bar were at that time confined there. Heard the prisoners quarrelling and talking very loud. The prisoner Lewin Caspar and Moses. Heard Lewin Caspar say, " Do you intend to let me have any money ? I want 401. or 50/. to prepare for my defence." The prisoner Moses said, " No, I want four or five fifties to pay for my own defence." Young Caspar then said, " Had I have had the 1,4001. or 1,200/. as you promised, it might have been different." Moses said something which he did not distinctly hear, and then added " You are a bloody rogue, you did not give him even what you had." Then some. thing passed he did not hear, and then Moses said, " Did you ever give him 5/ ?" That was all lie heard. He was examined before the Magistrate the same day. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS. —Has been in the Police three years. Was not employed listening at the cells. There was no other Policeman in the yard. The gaoler was there part. of the time. Was requested to stay in the yard by the gaoler to watch the door. Cannot say how long he was there. Did not bear the whole of the conversation. The yard is from six to eight feet wide. Cross examined by Mr. ADOLPITUi —Was a hair-dreg_ ser, and had been out of employment. three mowhs when he went into the Police. Had no acquaintance with young Caspar, except seeing him examined at the office; had the same acquaintance with Moses. Had heard both Caspar and Moses speak in the dock and in the cells ; there was no one in the cell but the four prisoners. He stated what he had heard among his own men, and was sent for into the office and examined. Did not know he was to be examined, or that the solicitor for the prosecution was acquainted with what he had heard until be was examined. 30,000 ...... 20,000 Cress-examined by Mr. C. JONES—Was stationed at the Police Office on account of the excitement occasioned by the examination of the prisoners. When before the Ma gistrate. believes young Caspar said that be had applied to Mo,..es to I..nd him 51 or 10/. to defend himselt, because he was much dnitres.3cd for money, and that Moses had premised to lend or give him 51. Bell, ves he also said, If I hae got 1 4001., es yo u are reported to have got by the transaction, you should not have wanted 51." This was in the office. John Hardwicke, Esquire, examined from the Bench — Is one of the Police Magistrates of Lambeth-street ; Las been a Magistrate seventeen years. The examinations in this case were conducted before him. Was the committing Magistrate. Recollect the occasion of which mention has been made, which statements he took into his priva e room. Had no communications with any of those par ties previously. Those statements were put into his hands in the office publicly. He took those statements into his private room at the request of counsel publicly made. It was publicly stated to be to enable witness to ascertain whether he would admit the testimony of Solo. mons. The prisoners were present, and the counsel and attorney of both sides also. He desired his clerk to ac- lli-. MR. THEOBALD AND HIS MARE.—Mr. P. Theobald has published a letter in the Post in crder to exonerate himself from the fraud charged on the Palace Stakes affair by the Jockey Club. In giving orders to Curwen to lose, Mr. Theobald denies " any intent to de ceive, or take any fraudulent advantage," and says he was ac tuated solely by a wish to prevent Pauline from being claimed. He says he has instructed his attorneys to bring an action against Lord Stradbroke and Captain Rous for " defame tion of character." If Mr. Theobald in going to law do not adopt that form of proceeding which will evolve the merits of the case, his character as a racing man will be but little benefittcd. company him. When in his room the attorney of Solo. mons was present. The statements were in the hands of the clerk, and were read in the presence of Solomons, and So lomons' attorney. Each of the persons who had state ments to make were brought into the room by themselves, and the statements read to each separately. After that the parties were taken into the public office, and there a viva voce examination by counsel took place. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—These papers were delivered publicly. The Counsel requested that the Ma. gistrate would take certain papers into his bands, and read THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1539 Their Lordships sat in a Committee of Privileges to day, at Eleven o clock, for the purpose of hearing the further arguments in the Camoy and Braye Peerage. At the c&nelusion of the arguments, certain legal questions were put to the Judges (who attended to assist their Lordships) for their opinion, and the further consideration of the case was adjourned. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. SHORE. The arguments were concludad in this part-heard appeal to-day. —Judgment defei red. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 161. ss. for damage done to a barge, the property of the plaintiff, under the following circumstances. The Odessa coal-ship was lying off the Deptford Creek, and the barge was employed in unloading the ship for the purpose of taking the coals up the creek. The men had loaded the barge with fourteen tons of coals, but as the tide did not serve them to get into the creek, they went on shore. leaving the barge lashed to the starboard side of the ship from which side only could she be loaded. The Wilberforce, Hull steam vessel, was coming down the river deeply loaded, and from the swell she occasioned in the river, the barge was swamped and sunk. For raising her the loss of her services during the time, and for the damage done, the plaintiff now sought to recover Jul. ss. - . For the plaintiff it was shown that the barge was loaded in the usual manner, that fourte-n tons was In-r usual cargo, and that she had sometimes carried sixteen. That the barge could not be got into the creek except at certain times, of the tide, and that it was the usual practice of the trade for the men to go on shore till such time arrived ; and that the men in the Odessa, seeing the Wilber force coming down at the rate of ten miles an hour, called out to her to slacken her speed ; that she took no notice of it, and the barge was swamped by the swell occasioned by her. It was contended for the defendants, that the barge was too deeply ; that though she might 'nave c:arried 14 tons without danger before the introduction of stearn.boatl, it was not safe, and therefore not proper, now to do so ; and witnesses were called, who, from Ilia dimensions of the barge, judged her gunwale must have been within six inches of the water. His LORDSHIP summed up strongly in favour of the plaintiff . ; for he said he was ❑ot aware that it was common law, and he was suro it was not statute law, that beeauF.a an invention was found nut, useful to the public no doubt, still it could not be worked in such a manner as to destroy all the old facilities of trade. It was the duty of the ser vants of the defendant to keep a good look out, and not go at such a speed as cause damagt, to those who were conducting their bu , ,iness in the usual manner. The Jur'v. after a few minutes' consideration, found for the plaintiif—Damages 161 ss. The continuation of the examination of Lee, ihe officer, from our first edition of yesterday. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS—With the exception of the situation of the furnaces, would say it was a correct plan. He was then cross-examined by Mr. PHILLIPS as to the evidence he had given about the elder Caspar leaving the coach at Charing-cross the evening of the robbery, but nothing of importance was elicited. Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—ShouId think a cab could go from the Strand to Whitechapel in twenty-five minutes. A person standing at or near the furnaces could see a person standing in the shop and into the street. Mary Solomons, the daughter of Henry Solomons, cor roborated his evidence as to the visit of Moses on Easter Tuesday morning. George Wood—Received a 1001 note on the day So lomons was summoned from John Dean; changed it at Ransom's for sovereigns, and gave them to John Dean.

George Gr.ffiths—ls a clerk in the house of Ransom the bankers. Woolf was with them, and on the 2d of April last he cashed a cheque, drawn by Woolf, in favour of So lomons, for 100/. Identifies two 5/. notes produced as having been paid by him on accnunt of that cheque. A. D. Riley is the son of a solicitor and acts as his clerk. Knows the handwriting of the pri,oner Moses. The two Si. notes identified by last witness were put into his hand, and he said he had no doubt the handwriting on the back of each was that of the prisoner Moses. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BUMPAS—Knows Mr. Abrahams the attorney. Has not communicated with him on this subject. It is eight years since he saw Moses write. Has seen him write in No. 17, Clement's Inn. J. C. Hewlett— Is Deputy-Prothonotary of the Palace Court. Has seen Moses write once. Has frequently sworn him to affidavits, and has acquired a knowledge of the character of his handwriting. Believes the handwriting on the notes to be his, from the slight knowledge he has of it. It is an unusual style of writing. He has put those notes by the side of his signature and compared them. Henry West—ls clerk to Mr. Abrahams. Knows the handwriting of the prisoner Moses, and believes the hand writing on the notes to be his signature. A person named Pine also swore to the handwriting of Moses on the notes. Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Giok and Johnsen, proved the payment of a cheque to Solomon, for 400/. on account of tine bars of gold. Mr. G. W.

Abrahams, and Moss, which notes were among those produce in the Court. John Howard is assistant to Lea, the officer; was in Crutched- friars on Good Friday, and saw both the Caspars together very deep in conversation. 'They were there an hour and a half walking together. Remembers Ist April when Moss's house was searched. Saw them on that day very nearly opposite Moss's house in Mansel-street. He saw the elder Caspar standing . with his hand to his mouth. leaning his head on young Caspar's neck and point ing to the house where Moss lived in Mansel-street. Knows the person of Davis and his house in Coventry-court. Saw him leave his house on several occasions when he was watching. Knows the house where Moses lives, and has seen Davis go there frequently. After he had gone in witness went to the window and saw Moses and Davis go into the parlour. Saw Mrs. Abrahams come out of Solo mon's house, when a man named Dixon, who was watching with him, stood opposite. They followed her as far as Bedford-street. Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—Has been em ployed as a spy by Mr. Lea since 27th March. Has been paid for forty four days' service and is owed the remainder. Has received 10/. Made a daily report to Lea. Dixon was in Lea's employment. Knew these facts at the time of the examination, but was never examined. Had told Lea of them, but never told the Caspars of them. He watched the Caspars as anxiously as he could, and this was all he had discovered. Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—Davis was never taken into custody. His seen him at the Police Office, but not since the prisoner Moses has been in custody. James Dixon was employed by Lea to watch Solomons' house. Saw the prisoner Alice Abrahams come out of the house and go up Bedford -street. Was at the Police Office when Solomons was first examined; this happened after. them in his private room. The Counsel for the prisoners had no means of knowing the contents of those papers. The counsel and attorneys for the prosecution retired with witness. The counsel and attorne3s for the priso ners were not allowed to be in the private room. Mr. Abraham, the attorney for Solomons, was allowed there. Solomons, two of his sons, and some others, made statements. After they had been read over to them, they were distinctly told the Magistrates would only receive it as a voluntary confession, which might be used against them, then the papers were read over by the clerk. They were thee asked by the Magistrates whether they were the truth. They were then each signed, and after , wards, as witness supposed, passed into the hands of the counsel, as notes to examine the witness from in open Court. Witness received them from the counsel for the prosecution. This cabinet examination might have lasted an hour and a half. Seve r al ti mes th e counse l an d attor -1 neys for the prosecution had private audiences, and he would have given the counsel for the prisoners the same had they asked. Alice Abrahams had been examined, and made statements as a witness. At the time she was exa mined there was no evidence to implicate her, except her own statement. Directions were given that the prisoners should be kept separate at Cold Bath fields. Cannot say whether any police officers were present at the making of the statement.. Cross-examined by Mr. C. JONES—Was at the office when Lewin Caspar gave information of the robbery—it was about twelve o'clock. Lea, the officer, asked if he would give a gentleman in wasting a private audience. Found that person to be Lewin Cava-. He was the first person from whom witness received any information concerning the robbery He asked for assistance to deteet the thief. Witness directed the officers immediately to afford every assistance. Lewin Caspar, in that interview, appeared much agitated, and expressed great anxiety to bring the parties to justice. He put some papers into witness's hand in consequence of which he bad given an order for the delivery of some chests of gala dust, which papers he said he feared were forged. Re-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—According to the orders given, the prisoners could not have had any communication with each other except when they came to the office in the cells. Jr witness's judgment itwculd have been detrimental to the ends of public justice that those papers should be pub licly read while he was making up his mind as to the pro priety of admitting Solomons as witness for the Crown. This closed the case on the part of the prosecution. Roe, the officer was recalled at the request of Sergeant Bompas, and examined as to the search made at the house of Solomons. In answer to Mr. C. JONES, he stated that in the course of this invettigation lie became acquainted with Francis Allen, a clerk of Mr. Hartley, who has run away. Allen nevvr introduced to witness a person named Sheen, or any one who said he hal been a sailor on board the City of Limerick, who could give material information about the robbery. Does not know of any such person being intro duced to Lea. In reply to an observation of the Jury, expressive of a hope that the case would he concluded to-morrow night. Mr. Justice L►TTLEDALE said lam afraid not. It will take me a day at least to sum up. The Court adjourned at eight o'clock. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Arabin and Mr. Alderman Brown.) Charles Thresher, a policeman, No. 150 Division L, Leonard Buck and Win. Dowson, the two latter lads about sixteen years of age, were indicted for conspiring and confederating together, in order to charge and convict James Smithurst of a certain misdemeanour. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Payne appeared for the defendants. Mr. PRICE stated the case for the prosecution at great length. The prosecutor he said was a gentleman of cha racter and fortune, and he had for the sake of his own re pute, and in order to promote the ends of justice, insti tuted an inquiry, from which many gentlemen of equally moral respectability, but of weaker nerve, would have shrank. Mr. Price then went on to state that some months ago the policeman stopped the prosecutor in St. George's fields, where he had been on a visit to his friend, Sir Hugh Evelyn, and conducted him to the Sta• tion-house, where, on the evidence of the boys, he was confined all night, tried at the Surrey Sessions, and ac quitted. A great number of gentlemen were examined at great length, and, among the rest, Mr. Jeremy and Mr. Hedger the Magistrates. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, end the defen dants were sentenced o pay a fine of Is., and be dis charged.

The courier of last evening, alluding to the Education money grant agreed to last night in the Commons, says : " The resolution for the grant of money for Educational purposes was last night finally agreed to. Sir Robert Peel declined all further opposition. He thought the subject had been abundantly discussed, and the sene of the House fully taken upon it—all but four-and-twenty .tlembers having in one form or other expressed their opinions. In-wad of troubling the Flue by another division, therefore, he agreed at once to the adoption of the resolution. fhe truth is that the Tory leader knew perfectly well that he could not possibly be in a better po sition. He could not hope. by any probable turn of the game of chances, to come off more gloriously than with a minority of two. According to good calculation be would have found himself on- the third division much less lucky than he was in the first trial. As he had no prospect of agoin finding himself in so flattering a minor - it) as five, he was quite prudent in being satisfied with his two, arid aban doning the contention." The Globe, referring to an article on the " Household" n the last number of the Quarterly Review, observes We are astonished that the Tories have the face to recur to Queen Anne's days for precedents against the right of a Queen to ' call her Household her own.' Was not that eminently Tory Sovereign their own /good• Queen Anne ?' Was not her whole power de voted to propping Church and State against Whig machinations? Were not all the pretexts which under mined Godolphin and Marlborough precisely the same as have since alienated weak Sovereigns from liberal Ministers? Was not Queen Anne told the Church was in danger ; and did not Queen Anne therefore, by pious frauds, rid herself of one Whig Minister after another, as subsequent Monarchs have been induced by similar fears to the awe course? The Quarterly will not admit that Anne had a weak bead and ignoble heart,' and therein the Quarterly shows a remnant of prud•'nce as well as a gleam of grati tude. For assuredly her weak head and ignoble heart,' if such they were, were most strenuously, and for the time sucessfully, devoted to the service of Toryism." The Standard thus alludes to the fact of yesterday being the anniversary of her Majesty's Coronation :—‘• This day is the anniversary of her Majesty's Coronation—a day tie exampled in England for its splendour and for the expres sio:-. of a loyal enthusiasm. Anniversaries are the me mentos of serious reflection, and certainly a comparison of the state of feeling this day and this day tw, lvemonth is not pleasant. We have no doubt that the devoted fidelity of the people to their Queen, their readiness to protect her from wrong or injury, at any risk, are as firm and certain as they were a year ago. But, questionless, the prevailing senti ment to-day is not the same with the prevailing sentiment on the 28th of June, 1839. Let the Queen's real friends call upon Lord Melbourne to explain why ? For ourselves, we hope to see our young and amiable Queen once more surrounded by affectionate, admiring, and enthusiastic mil lions, as she was upon the dal. of the solemn ratification of her compact with her people..' The Morning Chronicle makes the following comments on the education grant, and the benefits likely to result from it :—" By the education grant, which is safe at last, two points of some importance are gained for the public. The schools receiving the grant will be open to the visits of inspectors, and the distribution will no longer be .con fined to the two great Societies. Both these points are of more value than may at first appear. Voluntary schools soon degenerate, when there is not a competent and regular inspection. Especially is this likely to be the case with schools established by large bodies, and in the spirit of competition. The zeal of their founders soon evaporates. The teacher is left uncheered by sym pathy and co-operation. The most probable interference is that of meddlesome and incompetent persons, who only thwart 'and annoy him in his best endeavours. Yet the school looks well upon paper, figures in a report, and answers as much as if it were ever so efficient, for the pur poses of a flourish at a public meeting, or of retort in Par liamentary debate. The fact that two or three Societies number more children in their returns than actually live and breathe in the kingdom, is of itself sufficient to indicate the true character of voluntary, competitive, and party exertion, as a substitute for National Education." The Times, in reference to the national education scheme, thus summons the Bishops to the rescue, hinting at the same time, in most significant terms, that it is re ported that they are somewhat lukewarm on the subject:— " Rumours have got abroad—we trust and are persuaded fa!se rumours, put in motion for sinister ends—that some repugnance has been manifested in quarters which have heretofore commanded the most implicit respect and confi dence from the people to take any strong or decided course against this most despicable of all Governments that ever were inflicted on the British empire. We believe not the fact. It is incredible. But were it true, that certain of the lay Lords hung back, where the question was their originating measures for the defence aril vindication of the Church of England, what has become of the Bish , pa ? Where is the Archbishop of Canterbury—a mild, but when roused a manly and uncompromising Prelate? Where i 3 the Bishop of London—a champion not unfitted for troublous times? Have they forsaken the Church, of which it is not enough that they should 1:1; ornaments, when she cries aloud for defenders ? If the lay, Lords, to their own shame, hang back, let the Archbishop of Canterbury man the breach, and see what Conservative Peer of the realm, nay, what good Protestant on either side, will dare to leave the virtuous Primate of England unsupported." The Morning Advertiser expresses itself on the question of the Ballot in these terms ;—" We turn with ple,;sure from the pharisaical cant of the objection to the Ballot on the ground of its alleged immorality, to the plain-speaking and unvarnished Toryism of the Times. That journal de nounces the Ballot because it would transfer all power to the numerical majority' of the electors, and would there fore greatly strengthen democracy.' In other words, because the secret suffrage would enable voters to give practical expression to their real opinions —would invest the numerical majority of the constituency with that power to which the Constitution entitles them, but which they have never yet fully enjoyed. This is a very candid admission on the part of the Times. We cordially concur with the great Conservative organ ; that would indeed be the effect of the adoption of the ballot." The Morning Post, speaking of the registration of births and deaths' scheme, says—" Perhaps when the Mi nisters started the registration scheme they thought it would work well and afford useful information, It is clear that if they did think so they were mistaken, and expe rience now shows them that all which their registration machinery has done is worse than nothing. Why not, then, abandon it ? Aye, there comes the pinch ; it is very inconvenient to abandon what gives one's brother-in. law an extremely good place, besides extending the mi nute fibres of Ministerial power and patronage through ail the towns, villages, and hamlets of the kingdom." The Morning Herald sneers at Ministers for their post ponement of the Canada question, observing—" Lord John Russell has intimated that he and his colleagues do not intend, in any way, to grapple during the present session, with the difficulties that stand in the way of good govern ment for the Canadas. Everything is, as usual, to be left by the Mt lbourne Cabinet to chance—to the chapter of ac cidents. The boundary question, however, craves speedy adjustment, in some way or other. The democratic party in the United States will not permit that question to slum ber. Ministers, therefore, are compelled to make some preparations, in order to meet the emergency ; and we have heard that they have appointed two Commissioners, with instructions to proceed immediately to the disputed territory for the purpose of surveying it." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS TIMES.—To external appearance the panic in the city has materially abated, but it would be to adopt a most unsafe conclusion to suppose that all danger is over. It may be stated with very little reserve tint this is not the case in the Bank parlour; and moreover, that one of the most certain modes of renewing the alarm which prevailed at the end of last week, and in the beginning of this, would be the diffusion of a general belief among the mer cantile circh s that we are in a safe position, or even that our prospects as to monetary affairs are yet materially improved. The chief source from which the better feeling of the last three days has sprung is the unexpected firm ness with which the restrictive measures of the Bank have been met in manufacturing districts. But the effort by which it was accomplished must have been prodigiously great—one which has called for all the combined power of the Joint-Stock Banks and of the trading interest, and which may, after all, prove insufficient for the purpose. Some persons also attach import ance to the trifling reaction which has occurred in the fo reign exchanges, but that prognostic has failed several times lately, and any rise in the price of corn, which the market seems to threaten, would frtetually f. twrate it. Further time is necessary before any confidence can be de— rived from this source. Should the rise in the exchanges continue, and, further, should the bill transactions of the next month and the repayments to the Bank of England la, sustained with tolerable firmness, then, and not sooner, can the money market be pronounced to be in a better po• sition. In the meantime, the more speculation is abstained from, and credit transactions liedtcd, the better. Mucit /as been said lately of arrangements with th,: , Bank of France for a supply of bullion, should it be wanted, to die Batik of England, but it is ascertained that the stock of the former consists almost wholly of silver, which, under our present system, would not answer the purpose. The formation of the new banking establishment, the Commercial Bauk of London, is going on favourably in tl e midst of the crisis, which, in ordinary cases, would be fatal to such undertakings. Many large subscriptions to it have been made from the country and from Scotland, proving how far extended the desite is to encourage all attempts to improve the system of banking in London. Some exertions, it is understood, have been made to act upon and improve the exchanges by the remittance of Dutch and other foreign securities to Amsterdam, when: , the prices have lately been rather higher than in this mar ket. Money continues scarce out of doors, but in the English stock-market it has not been so much in demand as previously. The transactions in the funds were not of much importance, but they continued slightly to improve. This was settling-day in the foreign-i ouse, and sonic pressure was experienced for money, for which rates equal to 15 per cent. continuation and above were given upon Peninsular and Spanish American Securities. The quota tions of all kinds of foreign securities improved. Railway shares were rather better, except Blackwall, which declined to 31 to 2, discount. The exchanges remain with very slight variation and without general improvement. CHRONICLE.—Very little business has been trans acted in the Money Market to-day (Friday). Several small loans have been effected at 4 and 5 per cent. for a few days forward ; but it is expected that money will be more scarce between this time and the period of paying the dividends. A few "bear" accounts in Consols have been bought in to-day at 93i, and they closed at 93i to which is a further improvement upon yesterday's quotations. They had been done during the morning at 93/. Re duced Three per Cents. left off at 92 to Exchequer Bill are 263. to 293. premium; and Bank Stock at 189 to 191. This was settling-day in the Foreign Market, which passed over very quietly and satisfactorily, in consequence of the improved state of the Money Market. All kinds of Foreign Securities are higher, and present a favourable appearance. The continuation on Portuguese was 3-16ths per cent. A good deal of business was done in Chilian Stock, but principally amongst the jobbers. Shares are also quoted higher; but there has not been a great deal going on in them. It was generally expected throughout the day that the rites of Exchange would present a considerable improve ment ; but we regret to say this impression was not realised. The rates certainly were firm, but without any advance. The private accounts from the United States are ge nerally satisfactory. The advices from this country of the increase in the value of money, and the depreciation in the price of cotton had certainly created some uneasiness.; but not at all to the extent that was anticipated on this side of the Atlantic. Indeed, money continued abundant ; and there were no symptoms of restrictive measures being adopted by the banks. The chief attention of all parties were di, ected to the famous cotton circular, which we an nounced a few days since as a gross forgery, and cautioned the public not to place any confidence in it. The discus sim,, however, was rapidly drawing to a close, as the parties who were first considered as being the active persons in the business had distinctly denied any knowledge of it. Indeed, it is now supposed to have originated with one or two gen. tlemen in the Southern States, and some persons in New York, who," a correspondent just , y remarks, " have rather written down what they would like to see done, than what they have provided the means of actually doing." It would appear, in fact, that a Mr. Wilder, of New York, has had something to do with it. HE RA L D.—With regard to the state of commerce in the United States, the majority of the private letters concur in stating that the commerce of the country was com pletely shattered for the present. It will, therefore, re quin. every exertion on the pout of the Bank of England to control our market, and restrain the issue of paper drawn to force and create the existing fictitious sales of American cotton in our markets. Money for the present continues rather easier on the commercial markets; at the same time the actual exportation of bullion to the northern part of the Continent still continues, and, as compared with the actual official returns of last week, was considerably in creased. Silver in bars has been exported between the 20th and the 26 h of June to the amount of 49.920 ounces, and in coin to the amount of 247,344 ounces. Gold in coin has been exported during the same period to the amount of 11,750 ounces, and in bars to the amount of 6,570 ounces. la the Continental Exchanges there has not been much activity, neither has there been any improvement. The British Funds are very steady, and Consols may be quoted at firmer rates. This has beta settling day in the Foreign Market, and, consequently, there has been rather more business. The arrangement of the account, wnich has turned out to be of a bear character, has passed over more favourably than was anticipated, in consequence of the turn in the Money Market. The principal brokers were enabled to carry over their accounts at five per cent. per annum, %ila some of the screws were compelled to submit to higher rates of interest. In the Share Market there has been no improvement. London : Printed and Published by MURDO YOUNC, of No. 112, t•-tr,:l. at The San Office.
