The Lord; met at Five. The Waste Lands (Australian) Bill, the Arts' Union Bill, and the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, respectively passed through Committee. The Geological Survey Bill was read a second time, and the Loan Societies' Bill was read a third time and passed. On the preFentation of a petition by the Marquis of BRI;ADAT.BANE fr m various parts of Scotland, praying for the abulition of religious tests, Lard STANLEY defended the conduct of the Govern meet i❑ regard to the late Bill on that subject. 1.1 , rd CAMPBELL complained that the Glvernment by throw, in; out the measure would deprive Sir D. BREW STEIL of his professorship. Lord IlltouanAm thf,n drew the attention of their Lordships to an attack which it was stated Mr. F. Fra:Nell had made on him in the House of Commons, on account of his conduct as a member of the Com mittee on the Dublin and Galway Railway petition. Hs characterised the attack as foul and libellous and un true, and expressed his belief that no such words had ever been utter( d in the House of Commons ; or, if ut tered, that they could not have been heard by the Speaker or the Members. After some discussion, the further consideration of the matter was postponed till Thursday, and the Irish Col leges Bill having passed through Committee, their Lord ships adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. The House went into Committee on the Small Debts Bill, but did not get beyond the 2d c'au e, the conside ration of which was, at the suggestion of several Hon. Members, postponed until to morrow (This day). On the order of the day for the third reading of the Lunatic Asylums Bill being read, Mr. T. DuNcomuE proposed a clause limiting the operation of the Act to two years. This was opposed by Lord ASHLEY, and lost by a majority of 30, the numbers being—For the clause, 13; against it, 43. Sir C. NAPIER then proposed a clause excepting the large metropolitan parishes from the operation of the Bill. This was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, and negatived without a division, and the Bill was read a third time. On the motion that the Bill do pass, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved the reduction of the salaries of the Commissioners to 1,2004 The motion was negatived on a division, the numbers being, for the amendment 13 ; against it 32 ; majority against the amendment 19. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then moved a clause, providing that no person not having more than one asylum should hereafter receive a licence, unless he resided on the premises so licensed, which was agreed to. The further proceedings in the Bill were postponed till to-morrow (this day.) At the five o'clock sitting Sir H. DOUGLAS brought up the report on the Bolton and Leigh Railway Amalgama tion Bill. Its reception was opposed by Mr. M. GIBSON, but, after a lengthened discussion, the reception was car ried by a majority of 44, the numbers being, for receiv ing the report 67, against it 23. Sir R, PEEL expressed a hope that those Members who had motions on the paper would give way in order tha the adjourned debate on New Zealand might be re sumed. office, and placing him in some situation of honour, where he will be no longer powerful for mischief. The adjourned debate on the New Zealand question, it, a matter of course, prevented the case of the Danish claimants from being discussed last evening. The delay which has taken place in bringing the case forward has, no doubt, arisen from the various other matters to which Mr. lIAwEs had to give his attention, but it has been unfortunate for the cause that he should, as a matter of courtesy, have given precedence to Lord PALMERSTON'S motion on the Cuba sugar on Tuesday, the 15th inst. This is the more to be regretted, as, owing to the session being now drawing to a close, many Members have gone out of town, and only the usual working majority of Ministers remain. The question must, therefore, be post poned till early in the next session. In the meantime, claimants must not despair—they have only to persevere, and, notwithstanding the unjust opposition of the Govern ment, they must ultimately succeed. We are glad to find the protest entered by us, in a former paper, against the tone assumed by a very distinguished periodical on the merits and bearings of the Oregon ques tion corroborated by an able and influential Contemporary. In an article on this subject, on Saturday last, the Times attributes, fairly enough, its due weight to any political statement of the Edinburgh Review, as having been for many years a recognised organ of Whig opinions. On the same ground, we shall require no apology, we believe, with our readers, for resuming and concluding the notice we have pro posed to take of this remarkable—and perhaps eventful— controversy. In arguing the case for the title of Great Britain to the ten itory in question, we shall assign the rea sons that appear conclusive to us against the disparaging estimate which the Reviewer has formed of that title ; and those reasons will probably be found equivalent to a demoli tion of the title which has been so broadly affirmed by the Government of the United States. In order to form a comprehensive estimate of the general outlines of the controversy, let us see what the territory is over which " the very doubtful advantage of sovereignty " (to use the Reviewer's words) is claimed; what are the leading epociss and events in the history of its discovery, and partial occupation, from the first accounts that we possess of those matters to the present time; what the titles respec tively advanced to this territorial sovereignty by Great Bri tain, and by the United States, are. We shell thus be enabled to arrive at conclusions founded, at least, on evidence common to the two parties, and upon which the mind of every reader will be competent to form its own unbiassed judgment. The north-west coast of America, in its broadest geogra phical designation, may be said to be possessed, rather than occupied, between the shores of the Arctic Ocean and lat . 23, or about the southern extremity of California, by Russia, England, and Mexico; the boundary of the United States territory is in the vicinity of these vast regions. Their territory is inland only, comprising all that is east of the Rocky Mountains from lat. 49 to 42 deg., from which latter parallel it runs in a south-easterly direction, until it reaches the rivers which form the boundary of the Texas. All that is south of the 42d parallel belongs to Mexico. The Russian boundary begins at the southernmost point of Prince of Wales' Island, lat. 54.50, thence tending N. W. and W. to the Arctic Ocean. Between the limits thus assumed as the boundary of the United States on their extreme N. W. fron tier and the 42d parallel on the south,—lat. 54 . 40 on the north, and the Rocky Mountains on the east, lies the Oregon country. The whole of the Oregon coast lies between the 42d degree and 48th degree N. lat. It is about 650 miles long, of 550 miles average breadth ; contains about 360,000 square miles, or more than three times the surface of the British islands. The northern part of the coast above let. 48 is protected by many islands, the largest whereof, Vancouver's Island, is two-thirds of the size of Ireland. The only use hitherto made of it, until within these four years, has been as a mart for the purchase of furs and skins, although it cannot be doubted that both its rivers and its coast fisheries, which are eminently productive, will prove very profitable substitutes for its commerce in peltry, at no distant day, when the fur animals shall have become exhausted, or have removed far from the lands on which they are the objects of incessant and reckless extirpation. In the meantime the expansion and facilities of British trade with China render: this commerce an object of especial importance, independently of all State and political considerations whatsoever which attach to its possession. Of this commerce the great Colombia River, whose sources are in the Rocky Mountains, and whose em bouchure is, or about, 46.18 N., is at once the seat and, as it were, the port. The leading epochs and events in the history of its disco very may be thus succinctly stated. There seems no valid authority for disputing the fact that our illustrious DRAKE) after getting a glimpse of this coast in lat. 43 N., ran up it to lat. 48, in the year 1580. No steps were taken by this country to improve that discovery, and for nearly two centu ries the north-western coast of Africa remained unvisited. It was in 1774 and 1775 that two expeditions to explore it were dispatched by BLTCARELLI, Viceroy of Mexico. In 1774 the Commodore JUAN PEREZ MARTINEZ, was the first European navigator who anchored in San Lorenzo (after wards called King GEORGE'S Sound, and did no more. In, 1775 HECETA, the commander of the expedition, discove).- st a the mouth of the Colombia River, and explored adjoining portions of the coast. In 1778 Captain COOKS explored the whole coast of the Pacific, up to the 48th degree, followed at intervals by Captains BERKELEY and DIXON, Lieut. MEARES, Captain VANCOUVER, and Lieut. BnocaueoN. " MEARES and BROUGIITON (we are told by the writers of a very able and well-reasoned paper in the Foreign Quarterly), the former at Nootka Sound in the north, the latter on the Co lombia River on the south, taking possession of the territory in the name of the Sovereign of England. Now the Go vernment of Spain never made any settlement north of Cape Mendocino, in lat. 49.29. They abandoned the country, after the voyages of PEREZ and HECETA, just as we abandoned it after the voyage of DRAKE. They neither occupied the country, nor annexed it to their territories, nor took formal possession of it. In the meanwhile we had taken possession of the country in a legal and formal manner, '2.nd we were the only power that did take formal a n d l egal pos session of Oregon." The facts connected with posses sion taking are so strong that we cannot inlagine how the Edinburgh Review can have brought itself to advance a doc trine so dangerous and a mistatemerit so palpable as this— namely, " During his voyage in 1794 VANCOUVER, we trust without instructions was guilty of an assumption of sove reignty more ridiculous than even the average absurdity of such transactions. He first took possession in the name of - England of all the country from 39.20 to the Straits of Fuca, and afterwards from these Straits to the 59th parallel. That is to say, the treaty to superintend the exe cution of which he was dispatched (by order of his Sove reign) having stipulated that the whole coast should be open to settleir.ent by England and Spain, he took exclusive possession of nearly the wh )1e on the part of England. Now the Oregon question being one essentially of preferable title, this is to treat a matter which may one day involve the pacific relations of mighty States with absurd levity, to say the least of it. But let us see how grave and pregnant a fact does this act on the part of VANCOUVER, become when connected with its pre cedents. What were those precedents ? The Spanish Govern-. mentbeing alarmed,by the continued residence of that en terpris, ing officer, Lieutenant MEAREs, and his companions at Nootka Sound (in 1788), where they were trading with the natives, after having built for themselves a large sloop upon the coasts, dispatched MARTINEZ with three armed vessels to dismiss the English interlopers. KiainNEz, on his arrival at the Sound (in 1789) erected a fort, seized MEARES'S yea► sels and sloop, and sent off some of his men towards Europe in the American ship " Colombia," Captain GRAY, and sent the others to San Blas as prisoners. Spain demanded satis faction for MEARES'S intrusion into her north-western settlements. England would not allow the fact of the intrusion, and insisted on reparation from Spain, be cause she had thus taken the law into her own hands. The two countries took up arms, but after some expensive preparations on either side, an indemnity was given by Spain to MEARES, and the future was provided for by the Conven tion of the Escurial, known as the Nootka Sound treaty dated 28th October, 1790, By article 1 the buildings and tracts of land on the north-west coast, of which British subjects had been dispossessed, were to be restored; by article 3 subjects of England and Spain respectively were not to be disturbed in navigating or fishing in the Pacific or the South Seas, or Anding on the coasts of those seas not already occu pied, for purposes of commerce with the natives, or in making settlements there. By article 5, in all places on the north west coast, to the north of the parts of that coast already occupied by Spain (that is N. of lat. 38), wherever the sub jects of either nation should thereafter make settlements, the subjects of the other were to have free access. Now the title of Spain at this time was good against all the world but Eng land ; the title of England was admitted by Spain to be good, in virtue of this treaty ; and the admission was fortified by the fact, established in MEARES'S:;CaSe, surely, of occupation as well as discovery and possession. When Captain VANCOUVER arrived out in Nootka Sound again to take possession, no " tracts of land" were to be discovered. He was offered a hut, which he refused. Leaving the sound in possession of the Spaniards, he took possession of the coast in the way ridiculed by the Edinburgh Reviewer, in what we contend, on the contrary, was a wise, bold, and just conformity to the spirit of his instructions and the rights of his Government. The Foreign Quarterly ob serves upon it :—" By this legal and official act the country was annexed to the British Crown for ever. The act was notified to the whole world: it was published under the sanction of Government in VANCOUVER'S narrative—every driigdh t n s e , narrative —every body knew it, n o b o d y di sputed it. If Spain regarded this the other. o On r protested the contrary, s she eh act or declar a ti on o f sovereignty as an infringement of her i she }i t e e r wouldthe one have nor remonstrated abandoned from that hour the shores of the north-western region, and has never appeared upon them since." We intreat our readers, here, to remark, that this act of sovereignty was done, not by a private individual, but by a recognised agent of the Crown. It, therefore, satisfies the very condition insisted on by the Edinburgh Reviewer in stating the law of nations on this point. " The acts by which sovereignty is acquired must be the acts of a Government, not of unauthorised individuals. The acquisi tion of sovereignty is a grave act. . No title is, therefore, given, by the discoveries made by private adven turers. If they make settlements, these form no portion of the territory of the state from 1. - hich the unauthorised settlers have proceeded. If they enter into treaties, such trea ties give them no right against either their own Government, or any other." Now, in this case, the act of sovereignty was Mr. HOME and Mr. EWART, however, insisted on their rights, and accordingly Mr. HUME brought forward bis motion for an Address to the Crown, praying for an inquiry into the case of the ex-Raja of Sattara. Dr. BOWRING seconded the motion, which was op posed by Mr. E. TENNENT. The House was addressed by Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr HOGG, Sir E. COLEBROOXE, Mr. WAKLEY, and Mr. B. BARING, and eventually the question was negatived with out a division. Mr. HAVES postponed his motion on the Danish claims till next session. Mr. EWART then brought forward his motion for a reduction in the duties on butter and cheese, which, after a short debate, was negatived by a majority of ninety-eight. Several measures were then advanced a stage, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock. Mr. C. BULLER'S speech will be admitted by every unbiassed reader to be an ample justification of his se cond appeal from Lord STANLEY to Parliament, on the wrongs of New Zealand ; and if anything could lay the spirit of party in the House of Commons, or conquer those personal considerations which compel Lord STAN LEY'S colleagues to stand by him, should ensure the con demnation of the infatuated course in which, in spite of all the sad warnings from New Zealand, and in spite of his colleague's late fair promises, the Hotspur Colonial Minister still perseveres. Who could have thought that, in the short space of a morth after Sir R. PEEL'S and Sir J. GRAHAM'S fine sounding speeches, so many new points could be made even against Lord STANLEY, and even in the case of New Zealand ? Mark Mr. BULLER'S specific charges against Lord STANLEY. 1. Sir ROBERT PEEL promised Representative Go vernment, quoted BURKE in praise of it, and so carried away the House of Commons by his liberal aspirations, that, as Mr. DULLER tells us, several of his friends ear nestly dissuaded him from dividing on the last occasion, after the Premier's emphatic assent to the chief principle of his own scheme of future policy for New Zealand. Mr. BULLER doubted whether the Premier's fine words were more than words, or were meant for any but the momentary purpose of helping Lord STANLES through a scrape ; and the result has too soon justified Mr. BULLER'S opinion. Lord STANLEY, within ;eight days of Sir R. PEEL'S speech, writes out to the new Governor, Captain GREY, that representative Govern ment in New Zealand " is for the present impracticable." All that he will . give is " municipal bodies, with consi derable powers of taxation for local purposes, and of making the necessary bye-laws." A pretty substitute for Representative Government ! And he will leave the more general powers of legislation vested in the Council, as at present constituted." That is, in a mise rable oligarchical interest, dependent on the Governor of the colony. So much for Sir R. PEEL'S promise of Re presentative Government. 2. Without adverting to the past history of an Association upon whose land dealings and general trans actions at that period we have, from time to time, freely expressed our opinions, we will ask—in justice to its more recent negotiations and correspondence with Go vernment—how has Lord STANLEY acted with regard to the New Zealand Company's land claims, in the short interval which has elapsed since the last debate ? He has actually imposed a new condition, in addition to those which they before complained of, for their obtain ing land to which the New Zealand Committee of the House of Commons adjudged that they were urcon ditionally entitled from the Crown. The New Zealand Company thought it grievance enough that they should be subjected to investigation of their titles by the Court of Claims, and to further payments to the natives by ewards of that Court. After Sir ROBERT PEEL'S conciliatory speech, they hoped that something of these hard conditions might be given up ; but Lord STANLEY has ectually added a new condition. He now requires, for the first time, that the award, wizen made, shall be ac cepted by the natives, before the land is granted to the Company. Was there ever such a condition before thought of by mortal man ? A Court is constituted for the purpose of making awards ; and it is to be optional with the parties referred to that Court, whether they shall accept the award or not, We give an extract from the minutes of communication between Lord STAN LEY and the deputation of New Zealand Directors, lately laid on the table of the House of Commons, to show that we are not misrepresenting his Lordship. " That with respect to the lands at Wellington, com prising about 60,000 acre;, he (Lord STANLEY) saw :10 objection to giving instructions for an immediate grant, on the assumption that the award had been trade, and the money awarded accepted by the natives." Absurd as such a condition would he with civilised men, it beats all imaginable absurdity when savages are the parties whose assent is made necessary by Lord STANLEY. 3. The " mistake," to use Mr. Under-Secretary loPE's phrase, about the two sets of instruc ions to Captain GREY on the subject of the Company's land claims, is at least unfortu nate. Lord STANLEY places some instructions, dated 6th July, in the hands of the deputation, and pro liaises to forward these to them, that they may be com municated to the whole Board, after the Indian mail shall have sailed. He afterwards sends instructions, dated the 27tla Jane, which differ materially from those which the deputation had seen, and which the deputation de tlare-tlai they did not see. Lord STANLEY declares they 7 did ; but Lord STANLEY'S word is the word of only one man against four. We make no imputation against Lord STANLEY'S honour, but we doubt the accuracy of his recollection. And this is how Mr. BULLER raised the point, though Mr. Under-Secretary HOPE thought it convenient to represent that Lord STANLEY'S honour was attacked, and to wax indignant at a charge which he had first invented. Mr. BULLER'S words place this beyond mistake :—" And though he did not impute bad faith—he was willing to believe that this had arisen from carelessness cr mistake—but what he said was, that if bad faith had been intended, the Company could not have been placed in a worse po sition than they were in consequence of that careless ness or mistake.—(Hear, hear.) And he said farther, that this was not a mistake which ought to occur twice on the same subject in two successive years.—(Hear, hear.) He thought, too, that the former discussions in that House should hare made Lord STANLEY more cautious : and he would further say, that a person who managed the business of a great public department in so loose and careless a manner, was not a fit person to conduct satisfactorily the Colonial department of the Government of this country."—(Loud cheers.) And this is the secret of Lord STANLEY'S colonial mis rule. He has talent, but no application—h e can make a slashing speech, bat will not sit down to study a dispatch. He picks up information by piece -meal —gets a scrap from Mr. STEPHENS and a scrap from Mr. HoPE—talks at random to deputations, and does not know what in structions he is showing. The last Parliamentary papers convict him of an inaccuracy with reference to these very instructions ; and if his recollection is inaccurate in one point, it may be in another. He placed some in structions in the hands of the deputation—that is ad mitted by himself. But when he sends to Lord INCES THE, who headed the deputation, the instructions which he sent, he writes, " I transmit to your Lordship the accompanying extracts from my recent dispatch to Governor GREY : they are the passages which I read to the di pututioa, or of which I stited the substance to them." Quite forgetting that he had placed the instructions, in eatenso, in their hands. And forgetting this, he may surely, without any impeachment of his honour, have forgotten that he did not communicate to the deputa tion the instructions of June 27. And is a man who conducts busines s i n t hi s irregular manner, fit to retain the government of a colony in the alarming condition of New Zealand ? We know what will be the end of these discussions Sir ROBERT PEEL cannot desert Lord STANLEY in Par• liament, but the opportunity will be taken, during the 1111• cation, of removing this incendiary from the Colonial. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAI MORNING, JULY 23, IM6. made not only by a distinguished officer of the Crown, and under the orders of the Crown, but enforcing the conditions of a treaty negotiated between that Crown and another sovereign power. In all these respects the pretensions of America are UTTERLY deficient. No public officer has even yet taken possession, on her behoof, of one foot of land in Oregon ; no public servant of the United States has executed any treaty touching any part of the Oregon. Out of the five conditions, therefore, which the jurist, who writes in the Edinburgh Review, insists upon as those by which alone sovereignty over an unoccupied country can be acquired, namely, " Discovery, Settlement, Contiguity, Treaty, and Prescription," we have:thus demonstrated that England claims—and holds, too, by Settlement, Treaty, and Prescription. Half a century since we had complied " with all the legal and solemn conditions by which new territories are annexed to the dominion of the Crown." As to the title by discovery, it is eighty years ago since a Spaniard— HECETA—SO far as the Colombia River is concerned, demo lished the possibility of the United States ever establishing it (though they set it up), by being the first European to find it and to enter it. At that time (1775) the Americans knew nothing about the river itself, or the whole of that territory through which it ran. It remains only to complete the conditions of the British title to Oregon to speak of "contiguity ;" and, with this head, we shall close our argu ment in support of the title of England to the Oregon, —we dare hope not without having established it to the conviction of our readers, unless there shall be a superior title set out in the claim of America, as expounded by her own Presidents, state officers, and diplomatists. Any such title we pledge ourselves to disprove by the irrefragable evidence of the documentary papers, &c., which they have brought forward to establish it. " On the other hand," (we quote here from the Foreign Quarterly), " if any political or international ♦slue can be reasonably attached to proximity of position and comparative facility of access, the short and easy transit which we can command from the remotest point of our Canadian possessions to the shores of the Pacific, in vests us with geographical advantages which it would be impolitic, not to say fruitless, to contest. Whatever be comes of Oregon, the English, who hold so vast a stretch of country due east of the mountains, and who have long wielded direct sway over the disputed territory itself, through the nu merous locations of the Hudson's Bay Company, must al ways exercise an inevitable influence over its destinies.

The bank is, itself, by the good di vidend which it continues to yield, the best proof that there are the elements of renewed confidence and prosperity, if the Australians will but refrain from speculation.

The decree against the press, which is censured by even some of the Ministerial journals, appears to have produced a deep im pression.

The Opposition journals speculate on the approaching dissolution of the Chambers.

This is one of the best of Mor ton's comedies. The character of Old Revel is an admirable one ; is is a sketch from nature ; and Farren, the original representative of the part, sustained it last evening with even greater effect than he did on its original representation. The scenes in which the staid, careful old man becomes, for the nonce, is order to disgust his son with extravagance, the gayest of the gay, a gambler, a spendthrift, a " jolly dog," were admirable. The boat-racing scene, in which he appears as a member of a yacht club, dressed as an amateur sailor, and concludes by dancing a nautical hornpipe, convulsed the audience with laughter ; and the hornpipe was, of course, encored. Hudson, who had undertaken the character at a short notice, made a most vivacious Young Revel (the part was originally sustained by Jones), and acted up to Farren admirably. Mrs. Glover sustained her original character of Dame Ryeland ,• and if the Sir A. Stanmore of Holl fell far short of C. Kemble's performance of the character, the Frank Ryeland of Mr. Webster was infinitely superior to that of SerleAwho was the Frank of the play, as ori ginally produced. The comedy has been cut down into three acts, and it certainly acts all the better for the pruning. It is very strongly cast, and will no doubt have a run. The farce of Used Up followed, Webster appearing before a London audience for the first time as Sir Charles Coldstream, in consequence, as was stated in the placards posted at the entrance of tl e theatre, of " Mr. Charles Mathews having, in violation of his engagement, refused to appear in the part." Under these circumstances, the indulgence of the audience was requested for Mr. Webster. The indulgence, however, was quite unnecessary, for Mr. Webster acted the part excellently well ; in fact, he made quite a hit, an d hi s Sir Charles Coldstream will, we have no doubt, become a universal favourite. He was much applauded through out the piece. The house was, as usual, crowded to excess. UNION BANK OF AUSTRALIA.—On Monday the annual meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at their offices, 38, Old Broad-street, J. J. Cummins, Esq., Chair man of the Board of Directors, presiding. The report, which was read by the secretary, stated that the deposits of the branch banks had increased, while bills offered for discount had diminished. There were no new failures, and no new bad debts, although some of the branches had wound up unfavourably. No change of im portance had been made In the colonial arrangements. There were bills payable to the amount of 78,4301., wt ich, with other sums, made the liabilities of the Company 194,4761. The paid up capital of the bank amounted to 820,0001. The balance of undivided profit up to the end of the year just ended was 43,5684, from which the Directors recommended a dividend of six per cent. The report was adopted. Mr. Robert Carter and Mr. Thomas Yoiung retired from the directory by rotation, but Were unanimously re-elected. FEMALE CONVICTS FOR VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. — The Woolwich Company's steam.packet Fairy brought down the river, from Millbank Penitentiary, on Saturday,) 0 female con victs, and put the m on b oard the Lloyd, hired co:evict-WIN at 4) present moored opposite the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, • to embark female convicts only for Van Diemen's Land. The Vlo:"Itch Company's -steam-boat Nymph brought dow n 120 f emale cot.'v."-- yesterday, and embarked them in the 1,40 r for the same destinat"' S POR TIN G nOrTtI.LIGENC (nob, ors coallesroNbaNt.) I tare attended Liverpool raises bow for many years in sneces. sion, and I think I aver witnessed a fuller attendance of com pany than were present last week. The sport, if not first-rate, was still very respectable, and I doubt not, after the comments which have been so properly made by the press, that an alteration will be made in the time of declaring the acceptances for the Cup. There is only one drawback, I am aware, attending the Liverpool Races, and that has been felt by almost every person I am acquainted with. I allude to the danger experienced in returning from the cor.rse to the town. The getting back from Epsom is nothing to it and I can only estimate the danger by comparing it to that which is experienced by a passenger going or returning from London to Gravesend in a steamer on a Sunday, when eighteen hundred people are crammed into a vessel capable of holding only four hundred with any degree of comfort. The Cro::teth Stakes was remarkable more for the re-introduc tion of the Lancashire 'Witch into the racing world, than any thing else. Upon her making her appearance she was much scrutinised, and the result of the race showed that the odds laid against her were not done so without great reason. Few mares have fallen oft so much froml'heir two-yr.old running asMr s Wor hington's s Trueboy, the favourite, displayed again his "favourite trick" of " shutting up" directly he was called upon. It will be a long time, I think, before his friends will trust him with any more money. The winner was not mentioned in the ring, and is a nice looking filly. For the Mcrsey Stakes, Princess Alice was again beaten, much to the chagrin of her backers. Luminary is the first of Launcelot's stock that has been out, and her success will, no doubt, give her sire a lift in the estimation of breeders. In the Plate that followed, the stable companion of Rowena played a very creditable part. It is somewhat remarkable that nearly all the Slanes that have yet been seen in public have been winners. For the Cup Nat brought Lotharin in (as I told my readers last week he would) in front of sixteen others, including Hese'_ tine's crack Winesour. A great many apologies are made for this horse's defeat, but I never imagined he had the slightest chance. Although he was run against, surely in a race of two miles there was time enough for him to recover his position. Rowena's piace at the finish, and the running of the Slane colt, deservedly raised Rowena in the betting for the Goodwood Stakes, and makes Daw son's lot a dangerous one to stand against. In the Derby Handicap, Sweetmeat, another of my selections, followed up her success at Ascot, beating Godfrey and eighteen others. Lothario was very foolishly started for this, and although much inconvenienced by being hung upon, yet was only beaten by a length and a head. After this they took 16 to 1 about him for the stakes. The Stanley Stakes were won by that game little animal, Mid_ lothian, beating, among others, Pluto. Hope, and the Lancashire Witch. Hope, my favourite, next to Pluto, was the favourite, at 7to 4, but was not even placed. Had the. , distance bern longar I think Pluto would have won. Lord Warwick's Yardiey has at last won a race for his owner, and beside putting a g. od stake in his pocket, caused a handsome salver to be added to the family plate chest. I know not who is the author of the inscription engraved upon it, but I must say, a better one I never peruses! Such a tes timonial must have been most gratifying to his Lordship. The Ironmaster's running to.day completely destroyed the hopes of his numerous hackers for the GOodwocd Cup. The Liverpool St. Leger was a most exciting race. Under an impression that Mentor would not TUII, I selected antasa for my winner, and he was only beaten a head, after a race three seconds and a half faster than the one between Ithuriel and Red Deer, last year. The betting, after it was over on the Doncaster St. Leger, was most unaccountable, Mentor being backed at B to 1, and the Welsh horse at 20 to I. I expect to see the latter's position, however, materially improved before long. The Baron, I hear, is gone to John Scott's to get that improvement he so evidently re quired; had he been ever so fit, the manner is which he was ridden was sufficient to have destroyed his chance of winning. The Newton Meeting, which may not inappropriately be termed the Goodwood of the North, commences to-morrow, with every probability of good sport. For the Gold Cup twenty-three horses have been left in, and the following are their respective merits : Robert de Gorham has the top weight, 9st, assigned to him; had he been obliged to have carried the Tower of London, it would have made no difference, as he broke down a fortnight' ago at Carlisle, and is now for sale. The Shadow, fist 91b--looking at her running last week for the Queen's Plate—is too much stumped up to make me think she has any chance. Trueboy, fist 91b, cannot be trusted for sixpence. Aristotle, Sat 81b, if all right, ought to run very forward. Winesour, fist 71b. I cannot have, after his exhibition last week. Ratan, 7st 121 b, will find the weight toe much for him, and Semlseria, 7st Slb, the distance too long. Parthian, 7st 71b, I think, will beat all the others. Erebus and Juvenat, I consider, have no chance. Cataract's legs Ido not think will last him for such a distance as this. Little Hampton is well in, and will run in front. Fitzallen, 3 yrs, sst alb, after his long rest, will, if he starts, have, I imagine, a very fair chance of putting into his owner's pocket the money he cost him at Chester. Sinbad, Cock Robin, Agriculture, April Noddy, and Winyard, I think, will not start, so entering into a discussion of their merits is use less. After a careful examination, therefore, of their qualities, 1 think, in the large field that will be tore to start for it, Parthian will be found first at the winning post, and Constable, Little Hampton, and Fitzallen in close attendance. In the Drawing. Room Stakes Thalia can hardly find one superior to herself. The St. Leger will be a nice race between Pluto and Fitzallen, and will be won by the former, as the distance suits him better than it did at Liverpool. The Golborne Stakes seems booked to Lord Harry. For Sir John Gerard's Cup I prefer most Parthian and Godfrey. July 22, 1845. TELEGRAPH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUIV. Sin,—The meeting at Newton, under the stewardship of Sir J. Gerard and Mr. Legh, commences on Wednesday with the Lyme Park Produce Stakes, which will, in all pro bability, be nothing more than a " walk over" for Lena. The Gold Cup, out of thirty-eight nominations, h.is twenty two acceptances; out of these about eleven will run, which:, I suppose, will be the following, viz :—Winesour, Parthian, Juvenal, Cock Robin, Semiseria, Lightning, April .Noddy, Little Hampton, Sinbad, Pedometer, and Trueboy. I shall look to Mr. Meiklam for the winner, expecting to see Little Hampton and Winesour close up. The Drawing-Roam Stakes to Thalia, Proserpine handy. On Thursday the St. Leger Stakes will bring a crack field of four to the post, viz.:—Hope, Pluto. Fitzallen, and Iron master, who will no doubt pass the chair as 1 have placed them. The Golborne Stakes look well for Lord Harry or The Traverser, Brutus and Thalia being the next best. The late running at Liverpool for the St. Leger has dis closed a " great fact," and which ought to be borne in mind with respect to the Doncaster St. Leger, and that is, that Mentor, in first-rate condition, could barely beat P an t asa " a head," the latter animal being just now considerably too stout to run such a distance with ease to himself. I shall, therefore, advise my readers to give an eve to Pantasa for the great northern event.—l am, Sir, yours, &v., Tuesday. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. CRICKET. THE GENTLEMEN V.

The race among the watermen at Bankside on Monday, for a new boat and some good money prizes, given by the inha ',Rants of the Clink Liberty and its vicinity, was through out most spirited, and afforded much amusement to a vast assemblage of persons, who were congregated on London, Southwark, and Blackfriars bridges, Bankside, and the craft moored off there. The race 1141.9 with six scullers, in three heats. First Heat—John Hicks (yellow) 1 ; Alfred Harris (brown), 2; John Harrison (pink), 3. The watermen started in this and the succeeding heat from Mason's-stairs, round a boat moored off the Phoenix coal-wharf, up round Messrs. Horne's road, and down to Thames-street-stairs, the distance being repeated. Harrison took the lead at a rattling pace, but could not hold it, and gave place to both the other men just above Southwark-bridge, Hicks then drew away and kept it. Won by four lengths. Second Heat.—Matthew Weed (green), 1; James Bush (red), 21 William Knight (blue), 3. It was a capital race; Knight led, followed by Bush, 'Weed being in the rear of the others. He, however, soon mended his position by gallantly rowing by the others above Thames-street-stairs. The race was kept up in the most spirited way, however, to the last, and won by half a length only. Grand Heat.—Bush, 1; Hicks, 2 ; Harris, 3; Weed, 0. Bush went away with the lead, closely pressed by Weed, who went to work very prettily, and bade fair to get the first place, when, on passing under Southwark-bridge, the very light boat in which he was rowing shipped a great deal o water, in consequence of the wash occasioned by two steamers, and he was soon after obliged to give in. ST. JOHN'S (WESTMINSTER) REGATTA. The annual contest amongst the watermen plying at the Horseferry and the Middlesex side of Vauxhall-bridge, many of whom have, both in the past and present day, distin guished themselves as scullers and oarsmen, came off on Mon day, and was most respectably . and numerously attended. The prize was a purse of sovereigns, as usual, subscribed by the principal parishioners; and the race was in three heats, with sixteen pairs of sculls (two pairs in each boat). The distances in the preliminary heats was from the Horseferry up to Mills's. at the end of Thames Bank, down the Middle sex shore, round a boat moored off the Houses of Parlia ment, and back to the Horseferry. After the two first heats the grand heat was closely contested, and the prize was won by W. Meekeff and J. Goatby, of Horseferry-stairs, sporting red colours. LITERATURE. THE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE. This Magazine appears under a new editorship, and we are glad to say it has resumed its original appearance as It) sise, &c. It is more worthy of the title than it has been for some months past, as its illustrations are many of them of very high character as works of art, and are dis persed throughout the Magazine with no niggard hand. The opening article, " Illustrations of the genius of the late Thomas Hood," profusely illustrated as it is with wood cuts from the chefs d'oeuvre of that lamented philanthropist, philosopher, and wit, is of actual perma nent value, and is alone worth more than the price charged for the whole Magazine. PRESENTATION AGAINST STEAM-BOAT PIERS.— On Monday a Court of Conservancy was held at the Swan, West. minster.bridge, before the Lord Mayor and other City functionaries, when the following piers were presented as being at certain times of the tide obstructions to the free navigation of the river, and their removal recommended, •is. ;—♦ pier near the Thames Tunnel ; a tier of barges at Wapping, called Charrington's.pier ; a floating pier at the end of Essex-street, Strand; and a tier of barges used as a pier opposite Chandler's, at Milbank. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT FINSBURY.—Monday night, shortly after eight o'clock, a fire of a very alarming character was discovered burning upon the premises belonging to Mr. Hall, a cabinetmaker and carpenter, situate in Bath.place, Tabernacle. square, Finsbury. Whilst the neighbours were engaged in pour ing water on the fire, it extended to the adjoining workshops, in the occupation of Mr. Rynar, a French bedstead maker. The stock in trade deposited therein was of quite as inflammable a nature as that in the premises of Mr. Hall ; and in the brief space of ten minutes both buildings and their contents were completely enveloped in flames. The firemen were unable to get the complete mastery over the flames before half-past nine o'clock, and not be fore both workshops were gutted, and the whole of the stock in trade consumed.

W. GORDON. Admiralty, July 15, 1845. The attention of the Admiralty has not now been called for the first time to the growing inefliciency of the Admirals' List, arisintt from the advanced age of the officers filling the highest rank it' the service. This evil, necessarily increasing from year to year , has created great anxiety ; suggestions have been made from time to time with the view of providing an effectual remedy, and haY e , been successively rejected, because on exami na ti on it was foun d that they did not meet the exig e ncy o f t h e case. The object 0f these proposals has been ti, Ming officers still in possession of heal th and vigour nearer to the fl ,g,, by pro, Wing for the honourable re tirement of those at the head of the captain's list, and thus openi n g the succession to the highest rank to younger men. For this purpose proposals have been made at different tidal for the retirement of 100 and or 150 captains; but it was found that the number of officers of that rank who had attained an advanced age was so great, that the retirement proposed would have le g matters mucu as they were bi fore ; and that the succession to the flag would have ,till devolved upon men as old, or nearly Or al those now OCCUI,N ing that rani,. The total ntrmt er of captains now on the list is 714; of these 376 are above 55 years of age ; among whom 50 are above 7 0, and 205 above 60; 171 are Letween 5.5 and 60, and 133 between„ 50 and 55; arid nine only und e r the age o f 45 are t o be found of a seniority higher than 1827. 'Abe retirement of 100 cap airs from the top of the list would remove officers averaging 67 ye. , rs of age, to bring up others a‘e" raging 64. Admiralty, July 21, 1845. If even '2.00 were recited, the average a:z.e of those advanced to the top of the list would ue CO ; either of such schemes, therefore/ would leave the evil untouched. This short statement is decisive as to the impolicy of retiring 100 or even 200 officers, with the view of bringing the flag with i° the reach of a junior class of men. FormFormssuggest i/ ns, moreover, went me r ely t o th e retirement Of the number proposed, and to the maintenance of a Retired List c'h 100 old captains, to be rec r uited f rom t h e Effective List in de by vacancies. They left all th e causes in l u ll operation w hich, "' overloading the Captains' List, have created the existing evil. There is, however, no conceivable method, consistent with the practice of the service, o f so di sencum b er i ng t h e li st o f captains ° f the o!ii and more infirm members as to Ming efficient men ne a t their flag, but by resorting to the principle of retirement ; and it ` i necess try to make that retirement so large as to prove really die tive, accompanying tile project with other provisions calculated to prevent the growth of similar evils hereafter. In the conviction that any scheme of retirement, to be effectual, should be offered to 300 officers, it is now propreed th a t th ere s h ou ld b e a Retire' List of 300 captains, of 55 years of age and upwards, with ill. creased half-pay, power being given t o th e Ad m i ra l ty to aIIOA infirm officers of 50 to retire, if the number required of the tie of 55 should not be found willing to do so, and that the officer' '- retiring should be placed on a separate list between the flag Officers' and Captains' Lists. That this list should be allowed to diminish, by death, to I ° o ' and be hereafter permanently maintained at that number. I !That general promotions should no longer be resorted to as th e means of recruiting the list of admirals, b u t b e rep l ace d b y a srite—d of continuous promotion, as death vacancies arise on that list; an general promotions be reserved for the celebration of important national events. - That the Flag Officers' List should be limited t o 16Q, and the Captains' List to 400, to be retained at those numbers by proMotiel; to every vacancy. This limitation is intended to be permallO t he applied to a state of peace, but it is i m p oss ibl e to say w hat t"" exigencies of a war might require. It is not proposed to place the officer s w i s hi ng t o ava il theMselce° of the immediate advantage of this plan on a retired Flag o ',i but it is intended that those retirin g f rom th e 14 5. 6 d . li st shou 1 ~a at once be permitted to assume th e titl e o f R ear-A d m i ra l, a n t that the remainder should be permitt e d t o assume t h e same titl e ' s ,/ the period when they would h ave o bt a i ne d the flag by seniority e' t they continued on the Active List. It is recommended that the officers retiring should receive is. 6d 0 . , a day in addition to their pres e nt ra t es o f h a lf -pay, and to (Weed which they would become sub s e q u en tl y en ti t l e d h a d they rellud'he •n the present Active List. Thus, officers retiring fro'' , t ,„ 10s. 6d. and 12s. 6d. lists would receive 16s. and 18s. r espective ? ; until the period when, had they rem a i ne d on th e A ct i ve List, the would have been entitled to the half-pay of 12s. 6d. and 145. d when their retirement would be increased to 18s. and 11. At present the 100 senior captains receive 14s. 6d, a dal - alf pay, the 150 next in seniority 12s. Cd., and the rest of the tains' list 108. 6d. tee In consideration of the gre a t c h ange propose d , which Pr-„a-„,%1 throughout the whole list a nearer approximation to the Flag, by reducing the number of captains from 714 to 400, shortens t time during which each officer will have to remain on the caPte i° list, while at the s ame t i me i t greatly increases his chances o f ~,, ployment, it is thought that the number of officers to receive t ; highest rate of half-p a y, s h ou ld b e re d uced from 100 to 5 0 ; '- that those to receive 12s. 6d. should not exceed 100. ere To the widows of the retired officers it is proposed to allow P, sions of 1101. per annuln, and t o t h ese o f t h e o ffi cers entitle d l ~ assume the rank of rear. admir a l th e p ens i on o f a rear a dmira l widow. Should any great national event ren d er it r i g h t to grant the be n of a general promotion, it is proposed that the two limited h et" er s increased in numbers should b e gra d ua ll y re d uced to the numwl already sincified, by a recurrence to th e pr i nc i p l e o f r estrie o e promotion, instead of filling up every vacancy, and that the da m of rule should apply to any t em p orary i ncrease i n the nu mber captains created by prom o ti on awar d e d f or brilliant or die ,j,. guished service. g b e A considerable additional expense will i n the first ingot' e o f necessarily incurred by the retirement of the large numbet of officers proposed, which expense, however, will be in I" cess 0 annual diminution, as the otticers whose vacancies are not to filed up, die off the lit , whilst savings to a large amount, ar ia ` ? ; from various causes hereafter specitied, will, by the operation of tP proposed plan, gradually accrue. By a calculation traindrd on the average tables of mortalitlr e e is assumed that the Retired List of 300 captains will be redu! to 100 in about 17 years ; consequently, the expense of rei w i r ,: o merit, which in the first year will amount to about 30,000 1 . tie diminish annually till in th e 17 t h y ear i t w ill b e reduce d t o a more than 111,0001., which will be the permanent charge 1 , 0 (jolted to be maintained. Arid further, as the 200 offiCer e w , r will thus be removed from the R e ti re d Li st, w i t h out being placed, will riot contribute to promotion on the Active List fp the usual promotion of one officer fur every three vacancies , annually increasing saving will accrue, which in the 16th 1e will amount to above 5,000!. per annum. Li st A further saving will also result f rom th e re d uc ti on o f the , of Flag officers to 150, from the number at which, of late I .' l i it has been maintained, and t o whi c h it wou ld b e restored another brevet promotion. In addition to these savings, there are some others which O r : a considerable item in the calc u l a ti on o f th e sav i ngs to be eftb et , i . by the adoption of the foregoin g pl an ; th e genera l resu l t of W P oof , Cb will be, after a few ye a r s , an excess of sav i ng over t he 4 amounting to many thousands per annum. It is believed that the terms on which this retirement is are consistent with that due regard to economy which should 61 , 00 " s mate every public departm en t i n t h e consideration of all questlo involving an expenditure of public money, and at the main* sufficiently liberal to induce the officers to whom they are off to accept them. . 8( Such is the plan of retirement whi c h, a ft er a f u ll cons id e rat4o o all difficulties, has met the approbation of the Admiralty, Wd ijf that deppartment, recommended to the favourable considerati oo the Government and Parliament. cce ° ' It is quite impossible to calculate with cert a i n ty on its sti it founded as it is upon the principle of voluntary retirement, bt ic s promises to be as effective as any plan can be mad e , from W" the principle of compulsory retirement is necessarily excluded. ef Its superiority to former proposals consists in the great mum it withdraws from the Effective List, and th e p recaut i ons it _...„ mends, in order to prevent the recurrence of a state of diffiC o4 " o , and stagnation hereafter similar to that which now exists ; mate adoption, however, must be dependent on the reception 0 " tC the officers intcrested may give to the plan. mb el It is too obvious to require explanation, th a t un l ess the e u -- ff o required (or nearly so) should accept the' offer m a de to them, to little good would be effected, and the country would be put c olo heavy charge for increased dead weight, without deriving an y responding benefit. forel ei It is only necessary to refer to what hasbbeen s a id of the o te proposals, and the reasons for rejecting them, ari s i ng f ro m the ° of t of the Captains' List, to show that by no retir emen t l es s exte: d te than that proposed can we hope to see a class of m e n advenc it the head of the Captains' List. who, from their time of life,. likely to be fully qualified for the active duties of service , highest rnks of the profession. lst L Unless, therefore, we can remove from the Captain" number now proposed by voluntary retirement, it would advisable to persevere with the plan ; but in that case it will be f3< duty of the Government to consider what ulterior measures _op be necessary in order to provide for an efficient li s t of Flag Otfi l io A vote in supplement of the present naval estim a tes, ariloO n d ot to 15,0001., the estimated cost of the retirement for the 1 0 '0 commeLcing the Ist of October, will be necessary to enab le ro pt Admiralty to take the first steps towards carrying their arrano ot etl into effect. Should it nut succeed, no portion of the money / t ot will be expended. It is therefore for a conditional vote 0n 1 1 , 14. the naval department will have to ask. HADDINGT° LATEST FROM AMERICA.
