THE MAGAZINES. TAIT' S MAGAZINE. Tait shows to great advantage this month. The first article, ►which is of course political, and put forth at a most seasonable juncture, is entitled " What sort of Government are we to have r and tells certain stern home-truths, which will act as a sort of choke-pear to some of the more squeamish, vacillating class of Re formers. After indulging in some sly, caustic ridicule about " crises," wisich we are assured " have occurred as frequently within the last eight years as eclipses in a Belfast almenack—that is, about one to each calendar month," our Radical friend proceeds to discuss the mo mentous question, what sort of Government the country is likely to have? Lord John Russell he considers as " disposed of, having incapacitated himself for being a *ember of any Ministry, by taking up his position on finality." Of Lord Melbourne he entertains a more fa vourable opinion, observing that " the Reformers might at this time better spare a better man." He is, how• ever, by no means unduly enamoured of his Lordship as a politician, for he states expressly, that no man pretending to the name of Liberal, even in the most Whig-ridden communities, can longer hold up his face to give the Melbourne and Russel! Cabinet an un qualified support." The remainder of the article is in this uncompromising strain ; and though we dissent from some few portions of it, yet we cannot refrain from brin g our testimony to the skill and vigour with which it is written. " The Maids of Honour"is smartly written, but the subject is a painful one, and had better been let alone. The " Ale-house Tap" is a tolerable parody on Byron's noble lyric, " The Isles of Greece." We are glad to see the continuation of " Blanche Dela mere." It is something better than a mere Magazine tale ; and the character of the heroine is forcibly and consistently supported. " Visits to remarkable Places" is a graceful series of descriptive sketches from the pen of William Howitt. The account of the visit to the Scenery of Wordsworth's poem of the White Doe of Rylstone abounds in entertaining matter. De Quin cey's essay on " Greek Literature" is clever, but crotchetty. We demur to the spirit that pervades it, which is one of exceeding captiousness. " Pedestrian Tour in the United States of America" contains a gra phic descriptive account of, what the writer calls, the " fur-famed Broadway" of New York. THE RAIL WAY MAGAZINE. Wyld, Charing Cross. This very useful periodical contains, as usual, a large fund of information respecting railways, and steam ope rations of all sorts. Whatever is going on in the various parts of the kingdom, and indeed in the world, with re forence to this rapidly spreading mode of intercommuni cation, is here concentrated, as it were, into a focus, and exhibited to the public at a cheap rate, and in an intelligible form. In the Number now before us, there are several original papers of considerable interest in a practical view, among which we mention " Observations on raising additiqaal Capit a l an d L oans b y t h e Edi tor; " " Atmospheric Resistance to Railway Trains, by Mr. J. T. Racket ;" and " Archimedian Stcam-vessel and her Performances, by George Rennie, Esq." - THE FOREIGN MONTHLY REVIEW. This is one of the most promising of our newly started monthly periodicals, and one which is absolutely requisite to the necessary dissemination among us of an extended knowledge of the rudiments of Continental Literature. As it has yet but reached a second num ber, it would be premature to decide upon its merits farther than that it more than realizes the hopes we conceived of its success from a glance at the first num ber, which appeared in May. The Reviewers are moderate in their opinions, and sparing in dogmatic cri ticism ; wisely preferring to exhibit their authors where not imperatively called upon to appear themselves. The Review of Count Toreno's ponderous history of the civil war in Spain, with which the number commences, is at once the most anti-gallican and the most moderate that has yet appeared. Thi arises from its dealing only with facts, instead of following the beaten track of rantin g about opinion and circulating scan (Watts anecdotes. In the Review of M. Bignon's His tory of France under Napoleon, we have the goes lion of Russia's oriental policy ably handled, along with the means by which only it can be success fully counterVAiled by England. The Reviewer warns us against trusting to the co-operation of France azainst the aggressions of the Czar, assuring us that France would find in the occupation of part of Egypt what would reconcile her to the possession of Constan tinople by the Cossacks. It is remarkable that we should meet with a similar avowal in a leading article in the National of Wednesday- last, and yet such in reality is the fact. In the open hostility of Russia the Reviewer sees no cause of serious alarm. " The British Navy would," he thinks, " in a few weeks, sweep the military and commercial marine of Russia off the seas. Two British squadrons at the Dardanelles and the Sound would" starve the empire ; our mere re fusal to take Russian tallow—and it would be no diffi cult matter to find a substitute in South America— would compel the Emperor to accept our terms, at the risk of his Crown and life. The rent paid for the pas turage of the cattle which supply this tallow, forms the chief source of the revenues enjoyed by the fierce and haughty Aristocracy of Northern Russia ; and involved as most •f them are in debt, the interruptienlof the isillow-trade would drive them to ruin, to madness, and to rebellion. The safety of Turkey rests in Russia herself, and the secret can be preserved no longer." But though there is little danger to be apprehended from Russian hostility, there is a great deal to be feared from Russian intrigue —a subject which the Reviewer, com menting on M. Bignon's admirable history, treats with much ability. " Literary Contemporaries at 'Weimar," is a delightful gossiping article, in which we are intro duced, for the hundredth time, to the most intellectual Court circle in the world, and of which Gothe forms the chief luminary. The " Lyric Poets of Germany," and the Review of Dr. Hermann Ulrici's criticisms on the genius of our own immortal Shakspere, are both articles which will be profitably consulted. The Lite rary Notices for the month include the principal works publisbed in the Freineh, Spanish, Italian, German, and Russian languages. THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER. Sherwood and Co. The present number is of great bulk, swelled princi pally by Attorney-General's speech in the appeal before the House of Lords in the Lady Hewley case, a pleading of great moment from the weighty principles involved. This long-pendin g cause, in which the Inde pendents are labouring for the spiritual good of the Presbyterians, by trying to relieve them of tem poral incumbrances, is again adjourned. The Chris tian Reformer says :—" From certain interlocutory remarks, we gather that Lord Lyndhurst does not avow a change of opinion, that Lord Brougham is wide awake, . that his Lordship of London never forgets his Church, that Lord Wynford is not ashamed of his reputation fer piety, and that Lord Kenyon, though he may not aspire to the legal fame of his father, the Lord Chief Justice, inherits all his ecclesiastical affinities." "An Essay on Conversation" is written in the tone and style of a purer age. In the review of the article " Quakers," in the last edition of the " Encyclopaedia Britannica," attri buted to " Friend William Howitt" the reader will find a concise and clear view of the present apparently critical state of this singular people, The correspondence be tween the Rev. John Carter and Robert Bruce, Esq., of Menchay, near Bristol, upon a " mortuary fee," here very properly called a " clerical exaction," is a valuable practical comment on the boasted revival of the Church of England. A letter from the Rev. Wm. Field, of Warwick, the friend of Priestley, the confidant and bio - graphcr of Parr, the reformer of half a century, who has it appears, been charged with blasphemy by the Vicar of Kenilworth, shows up the intolerance and bigotry of the termagant parson in the manner in which such ecclesiastical virtues ought to be exhibited to the public view, in order that the people may know the real character of their so-called " spiritual pastors and masters." There is, in addition to these and other papers, which our space will not allow us to notice, an excellent article on the recent political movement, in whota ample justice is done to our noble-minded Queen. We extract one smart passage, in which more is meant than expres-ed :—"'The Queen was evidently in the right. The Tory leaders demanded the appoint ment of the Female Household, which was as unusual as it was insolent. Had her Majesty y iclded she would have been a prisoner, and might have received her meals from Orange cooks, dressed in the Hano verian fashion. The two great actors in this serious comedy are not agreed in their explanations ; we sus pect that Sir Robert Peel found his troops unmanage able, and that the difficulty of the Household was brought forward as a shelter for Tory retreat. The odium of breaking up the new administration was to be thrown upon the Queen. Little did the political traffiekers know of her stout heart and patriotic spirit. No sooner was the Court cleared of them, than Vic toria sent for her former Ministers, the servants of her choice, and called upon them to support her, as she had long supported them. Loyalty and manly feeling left them no alternative ; they returned to power, relying upon the nation, who are beginning to be aroused, and to feel the necessity of rallying round th e Throne; and keeping out a faction, who, for ends of their own, not all explained, would trample upon both Queen and people. The twenty-four hours of Tory supremacy has shown all classes of Reformers their common danger, and led the present Cabinet to perceive, that not only their strength, but their ex istence depends upon conciliating the great Liberal partie s by popular measures." From 1 thi s Ice lear n t h at (leaven—noth i blishment whi c h t been out of THE CHURCHMAN.

What does this amount to but a declaration that the Church of England is no longer the Church of the people of England—that having clothed herself in all the el:or rnities of the Church of Rome, she now looks to s' are the fate of her predecessors, unless she be preserved by a miracle ? The Church is indeed in danger, but she is most in danger from herself. She is in danger of surfeiting with wealth, with honours, and with worldly distinctions. Her worst enemies are her lordly priests, who clothed in purple and fine linen, and borne about in fine coaches attended by troops of liveried menials, assume high places in the Legislature, and figure in the Court Gazette as drawing-room decorations at the Palace, instead of apostolic a lly trudging about on foot visiting the sick, dispensing alms to the needy, and preaching the Gospel to the poor. The footsteps of the Re deemer were not directed by a groom and a pair of horses. He had no town-house in Jerusalem and diocesan palace at Nazareth, between which he con trived to pass his time in indolent repose, leaving to his proctors the care of the sick, and to his curates the promulgation of the Gospel. He had neither a scat in the Sanhedrim, an office in the Court of Herod, nor did he ever attend a Levee of the Roman Go vernor Pontius Pilate. Without having where to lay his head he wandered about in want and obscurity, doing the work of his Heavenly F a th er , an d hi s last legacy to his Apostles was an injunction to walk in his footsteps, and that he would be for ever with them. But a new priesthood have sprung up who in their lives laugh to scorn the simple precepts of Christ, and yet affect alarm and amazement at the growing unpopularity of a Church which acknowledges to see in them the successors of the Apostles ? Never was impious presumption more daringly manifested ! " The Ministe rial Crisis," furnishes the text for a dull sermon of con dolence on the unhappy success attending Bedchamber plots, which is only varied by a catalogue—with the respective ages and qualities prefixed—of all the women about Buckingham Palace. Were the renowned George Robins " honoured with their disposal in lots," he would not describe them more minutely. 'The Number is em bellished with a well engraved view of the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral. THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRI. CULTURE. No. XLV. JUNE, 1839. Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh. The present is an interesting and useful number of this Journal, and we recommend to particular atten tion the articles on " The Natural History, and the Different Modes of Fishing and Curing the Herring," " The Improvement in the State of Scotland since the end of the Seventeenth Century," and the " Agriculture of Hindoostan." The first, certainly, has not much to do with agriculture, for we do not observe that the writer even adverts to the herring or the offal as an arti cle of manure, nevertheless, it is not altogether mis placed. The herring furnishes abundant and cheap food for the farm labourer, and in this number of the Journal, the history of the habits of this most useful of all, the productions of the ocean, gives a delightful relish to the dissertations on potatoes, turnips, arrow -root, and sago. We refer the reader to the article itself, merely mentioning what appears to be a well-established fact, that the herring is not migratory, that it does not, as some have supposed, come in large shoals of many leagues extent from the the artic circle, dividing into lesser shoals on coming towards the north point of Scotland, one body pro ceeding to the west of Scotland and to Ireland, and another to the east, southward ; but that it is found particularly in the locks and bays of the north, at all periods of the year, and that though after spawning, they do net continue close in shore, they proceed to sea in the neighbourhood of the coasts, where they continue, and where they feed until the spawning season approaches, when they return again to the shore. The second article, though the author would be as poetical as Virgil in the Georgics, and quotes Latin most unmercifully to the clod-hoppers of England, we recom mend most sincerely to our agricultural friends of the south. That article, we say to English farmers " Read, study, and obey. Noc turna versate manu, versate diurna.' You will find it of more use than the Corn-laws, or even the great Chandos panacea, the abolition of the Malt-tax." The writer having been nearly thirty years actively and en thusiastically engaged in practical agriculture having many times visited every part of the island in quest of agricultural information ; and having long been a Member of the Highland Society, endeavours to point out some of the errors at present existing in England, and some of the good which has been effected by the labours of that Society, as well as what may in like manner be done by the new-born one in England. Read the fol lowing, ye Corn-law worshippers, and in reading it, remember that it comes from a practical farmer : " Now what every calm and thinking man must own to be the greatest fault at the present day in the Eng lish agriculturist, is looking to andtrusting to Government, rather than each man to hia own brains. (He ought to have quoted from that heathen, Juvenal, " Monstro quod apse tibi possis dare.") We would assure our brethren of the plough, that it is not in the power of any Government, be it Conservative or be it Radical, to bolster up the state of agriculture. A wise and a good Government will not enact laws prejudicial to any part of the community, nor will it seek to break down the safe-guards which our forefathers built up ; but they may be assured it is not forcing wheat to be sold at a sovereign the bushel, or meat at .ss. per lb., that will ever make the agriculture of the country prosper, or the farmer rich. Look at Manchester. Is it by the manufacturer selling his prints at a sovereign per yard that enormous fortunes have been amassed ? No ; it is the greatest quantity at the cheapest rate that will ever make a prosperous trade. If wheat is low in price, the farmer must bestir himself. Instead of sitting whole evenings (as many an English farmer does) soak ing over a drop of cider or a little home-brewed, while he grumbles and spells the columns of an old news paper, and abuses Parliament for the great cry and little wool' in the way of helping ' agri cultural distress, ' let him toss aside the speeches of our would-be patriots, and let him to his fields and see if all be right there. Let him remember if he can but grow one or two quarters more per acre, he will be in a better position even with the low price than he was be fore. The attempt made last year in London to retard the formation of the New National Society of England was much to be lamented, and while this and that about the Corn-laws were made a handle to frustrate the plans of those true lovers of the country, who wished to organize the association, it showed to us north of the Tweed that our brethren in the south did not know the value of the good old proverb ne sutor ultra crepidam,' alike true as to criticism and the art of making money. Let statesmen, Membersof Parliament, and diploma tists turn their minds to politics—let us stick to the plough : " hoc age" is the grand thing in every profession, and he alone will prosper in his vocation who follows it." This is precisely the same advice by which a landed proprietor in the first agricultural counts' in Scotland, the Marquis of Tweeddale, astonished a meeting in London of Corn-law worshippers, who called upon him to conic and " curse their enemies, and he blessed them altogether." This practical farmer next points out the grand, the ruinous defects of the English system, as regards horse labour, turnip husbandry, fallowing, draining, and the wasteful expenditure of money in the purchase of oil cake, in place of raising turnips for feeding cattle. In almost every respect the English farmers, particularly those in the south, where the Church is richest and the people poorest and most ignorant, are a century behind their countrymen of the north ; and perhaps there is no such instance of perverse ignorance in farming, es in their pertinacious refusal to adopt the two horse system. In a note the writer says, with per fect truth, " Still in the cart, or clumsy waggon, three or four horses are seen creeping along, with half the load two good Clydesdale nags would take in a couple oflight carts, driven by one man." And he might have added in half the time, thereby increasing the farmer's ex pense sixteen fold. " Want of education," says the writer, " is the next great barrier to the advance of agri culture in England —to lift the population over the beer shop and brute-like existence into which the lower ranks are at present sunk, and to break down the lumbering, obsolete practices of the higher orders." There is an other useful article on draining in " The Agriculturist's Note Book," in which the present Speaker of the House of Commons is treated with very little ceremony ; and if he is not better acquainted with dry records than with dry soil, according to the opinion of this writer, his authority in his new position will not be of the first order. THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. There is no people in the world of whose manners and customs the Europeans know so little as the Japa nese, and therefore we hail with delight the appearance in this Magazine of a well-digested series of articles upon the subject. Materials exist for a tolerably correct elu cidation of the peculiarities of this extraordinary people, but it requires great industry to collect and arrange them. The opening article is very graphic, but the manners and customs of the Japanese are not to be learned from the reports of the residents at the Dutch factory at Dezima. We recommend the compiler, therefore, to examine the accounts of the various foreign missionaries, published towards the close of the seven veenth century. The review of Colonel 'c'od's " Tra vels in Western India" is one of those well-digested epitomes of a work which may sometimes not indiffe rently supply its place. " The Women of Hindostan" is rhapsodical for an essay on the character of any women but the French. We read it with little pleasure and less profit. The Notes for the Month are well arranged, and the mass of Asiatic intelligence carefully selected. MICHAEL ARMSTRONG, No. IV. The character of the high-minded, though somewhat wayward and eccentric Mary Brotherton, of whom we had a brief glimpse in the last Number, is brought out in a very striking manner, in the present. As y e t, s h e is the hest executed character in the talc, for Sir Aht thew Dowling and his Milhonare family are too much caricatured ; and Dr. Crockley, their domestic physician too;uniformlv revolting, to be drawn from nature. The description of the private theatricals at Dowling Lodge, is full of rich drollery, and contrasts forcibly with that of the factory children in the hovels at Ashleigh, which is vigorous, and we fear, too like reality. PICKWICK ABROAD. Mr. Reynold's sketches of English life in Paris are continued with unabated freshness, variety, and a gro tesqueness which, if not absolutely humour, is something very near akin to it. He is one of the most successful of the thousand and one imitators of Mr. Charles Dickens. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, MAY 30.

The Committee met on Friday at the usual hour. The whole sitting was occupied in hearing the argu ments of Counsel, and in the deliberation of the Com mittee upon the question of the Grand Junction Railway Company's right to appear as parties opposing the Bill. The Committee in that case, as in the cases of the Midland Counties, and the London and Birmingham Railway Companies, decid e d aga i ns t t h e assume d right. This decision concludes the preliminary objections to the various petitions presented against the Bill, and affirms a principle which will go far to put an end to the enor mous obstructions thrown in the way of Companies pro posing to effect an important public object, by declarinz that the recently-created Railway monopolists shall be dealt with upon the same terms as the Turnpike Road Trustees and Canal Proprietors were at the time Railways were first projected. The pretence put forward on behalf of the Companies thus excluded from the Corn mit,ee was, that the new line will take from them traffic of which they assumed the possession before Parliament when they severally applied for their Acts, and that therefore they ought to be heard, with a view to prevent their being deprived of such traffic. Nothing can be more untenable than this proposition. Upon such a ground the Turnpike road and the Canal proprietors might have waged war —in the first place against each other, and then jointly against the Railways. But they were not allowed to do any such thing. Indeed they were expressly told that they had embarked in their several speculations at their own risk, on the faith, it is true, of an Act of Parliament, but that Act merely authorising the levying of certain tolls in re spect of such traffic as might come to them, and never guaranteeing, or being intended to guarantee, that their road or their canal must not give place to a better road or a better canal, if such could be made; and to a better mode of conveyance, if the improvements of the times should pre sent one. Upon the like tenure do Railway Companies hold their privileges. Whilst their respective lines of Railway are used, they have the sanction of the Legisla ture to the receipt of certain remunerating rates ; bat their Railways must be competed with if better lines be discovered, and the public interest require their adoption. In the same way the population of the districts whose traffic forms part of the rent-roll of the existing Railways, if they deem a better communication than that which is now afforded, essential to them, and can prove a remunerating return for this, and are will ing to pay for the capital expended upon it, and have no insuperable cases of objecting landowners, are fully en titled to have it, without being told by a Grand Junction Railway Company, or a London and Birmingham Railway Company, " Oh, you shall not have this line, you belong to us, and we will do what we like with our own. It is quite true that our lines are not so good as that which you pro pose ; but we, nevertheless, took it for granted, when we were in Parliament in 1833, that your traffic would come to us (intact, we swore that it would I), and we cannot suffer you now to take it away." And yet this is the logic which these Companies have been using before a Parlia mentary Committee, forgetting that, if it be good at all, it is so to the full extent; and that, as the London Com pany included the traffic of Leeds, York, Hull, Leicester, and various other places as passing upon their line for its full length, the North Midland Company, and the Mid land Counties Company, were not entitled, without their consent to an Act, to construct their Railways, and yet they obtained their Acts without any opposition from the London Company, that Company, in fact, supplying a portion of Directors from their own Board. We congratulate the public, because we have through out regarded the question upon its broad basis, and not with a reference to conflicting Share interests, upon the sound and judicious decision to which the Parliamentary Committee have come; and we have no doubt that the moral castigation which that decision administers to these Railway Monarchs, will induce them to consider whether they are not putting in peril most seriously the interests of their Proprietors, by per3isting in un opposition which can only recoil upon their min heads. Their efforts will sig nally fail ; but if they succeeded for a time, the effect might be to induce a demand for a line still more exten sive than that now sought, and rendering the competition general, which is now, if it exist at all, limited to a very small proportion of the London line, We believe that a terminus at Rugby will be satisfactory to the great town of Manchester, both - for the present and the future, unless this very reasonable demand should be resisted so far as to entitle the public to say, " We would have pro tected you by receiving the traffic at Rugby and firmly fixing it there; but you choose to decline to accede to that suggestion; we are not bound by your share arrange ments, or your dividends and premiums, and we will there fore make a new line to connect our town and neighbour hood with London, without reference to you." GERMAN and DUTCH PAPERS. N- FRANKFORT, MAY 26.—1 t is observed, that largo pur chases have lately been made on our Exchange, at 4j- and 3.4 per cent. Dutch. We learn from good authority that these purchases are made here, and at Amsterdam, by the house of Rothschild, and by order of the Elector of Hesse Cassel, who is considered to be one of the richest capitalists in Europe : on the other hand, it is said, that this princely financier is disposing of his 3i per cent. Austrian Me talliques. It seem to be expected, not without good reason, that when the affairs of Holland and Belgium are definitely settled (which will be very shortly), the Dutch funds, the credit of which is high, on account of the severe trial to which it has been put in the last eight years, will rise to the prices at which they stood before the unhappy year 1830. It is said that several German Goverments have already intimated their willing ness to join that country in energetic measurers, to resist the Court of Rome, if it should attempt to give effect to the inconceivable doctrines lately brought forward relative to the populace and the imperial authority. P. S. The Austrian Observer says that the news of hostilities between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali is of no importance and that the Sultan had only caused the po sition of the latter to be reconnoitered. On the appearance of the Egyptian troops the Turkish army is said to have immediately rcrossed the Euphrates. AMSTERDAM, MAY 27.—A1l that the French and Bel gian Papers say of the refusal of Austria and Prussia to ratify the Treaty of the 19th of April is mere fiction, for which there is not the slighest foundation. THE HAGUE.-The Prince of Orange and his eldest son arrived here ft om Tilburg. The Duchess of Saxe Weimer with her children has arrived from Nimeguen. The Princess of Orange and others members of the Royal Family immediately visited her Royal Highness, and testified the sorrow of all the Royal family for the loss of the promising young Prince. AMSTERDAM, MAY 30.—The ratification of the treaties were sent to London the day before yesterday, by the Ba tavier, to be exchanged on Friday between the high con tracting parties. Letters that have been received here direct from Pedang, say that the chief towns of the native chief Samboesy had been taken by storm. The power of this, the last of the hostile chiefs of the Padries, may be considered as destroyed. FRANKFORT, MAY 28.—The latest letters from St. Petersburgh, say that the Emperor and Empress had been obliged to quit the new Winter Palace, by a very laughable and unexpected circumstance. This splendid edifice, which is fitted up with the utmost magnificence, is filled with countless swarms of noxious insects ; the origin and rapid propagation of which is ascribed to the palace having been built in a hurry, while every thing was wet, and then over-heated, that it might be occupied without delay. FROM GALICIA, MAY 22.—" The account lately given in your Berlin correspondence, that Mr. Von Haller, Pre sident of the Senate of Cracow, has been removed from his post by the three protecting Powers, is not quite cor rect. He had tendered his resignation above a year ago, and it has now been accepted. There being reason to pre sume that he was in some degree dependent on the revo• lutionary party, his removal from the administration of the Republic was very desirable. M. Van Haller is a very rich man, to whom his lucrative post is of little conse quence. On the contrary, he has long since expressed his wish to seturn to the rank of a mere senator, and has taken means to obtain it, probably in order to defend his political opinions.

EXPLOSION ON BOARD TIIE NEW ARCHIMEDIAN PATENT SCREW STEAM VESSEL. On Thursday afternoon an accident of a most alarming nature, and which has been attended with the loss of life, occurred on board the Archimedes new steam-vessel, in the East India Dock. The vessel is fitted up with Mr. Smith's patent Archimedian propelling screw, which works at the stern of the vessel, and causes no swell. She has already made several experimental voyages with the new propellers, and with the greatest success, about the coast and on the river. A few days ago the vessel made a trip to Portsmouth, and was present at the launch of the Queen, 120 guns. On her return voyage she made about nine knots an hour. She was moored in the East India Dock, at Blackwall, until Thursday, when it was determined to make another experi meatal trip on the river, which was to decide a very im portant point in the construction of the engines and ma. chinery, which are of the ordinary description, and manu factured and fitted up by Sir John Rennie and Son. For the purpose of ascertaining these particulars, Messrs. Rennie, Mr. Smith, the patentee, Mr. Wimsworth, of Limehouse, the builder of the vessel, and several scientific gentlemen, were on board. Soon after two o'clock the steamer got under way, and after making a circuit of the dock, the flood-gates were opened, and she was about to enter the river. At this time one of the men was absent, having gone ashore to obtain some beer for the people on board, and the engineers were in waiting for him with the levers in their hands, ready to set the machine in motion, when the accident, which has been attended with such serious con sequences, took place. The company upon deck were alarmed by the noise of an explosion below, and on Mr. Wimshurst and Mr. Smith going below to ascertain the cause they found the boilers had burst, and the steam was issuing , from the top, where they had given way, in large quanti ties. The whole of the persons in the engine room at the time were more or less injured. Three Men were dread fully scalded. Mr. Broadwater, a surgeon, fortunately happened to be on board at the time, and directed the treatment of the sufferers. It was, however, found neces sary to remove the men to the D rea d noug h t. h ospital ship. They were covered with soft linen, and taken on board that institution in a boat. One man, M'Millan, died a few minutes after he reached the ship. He was frightfully scalded, and when the explosion took place, was close to the boilers, and was exposed to the whole force of the dis charge of steam. The others still linger in a hopeless condition. Notwithstanding the deplorable nature of the occurrence, a degree of satisfaction arises from the fact that, had it occurred two minutes later, the loss of life would have been very great. The whole of the company were to have been in the engine-room for the purpose of examining the work ing of the machinery, and amongst them were several gen tlemen of great eminence in the scientific world. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday evening a Coroner's inquest was held on the body of M'Millan, who was second engineer to the Archi mides. From the evidence of the surgeons examined, it appears that M•Millan died from internal scalding of the tongue and throat. He was in dreadful agony when he came on board, and expired soon afterwards. Mr. George Rennie, of Whitehall-place, engineer, de posed that the engines and boiler were constructed under the care of Mr. Talbot, and under the direction of the firm to which the witness belonged. They were constructed on a principle which was to raise a greater quantity of steam from a smaller quantity of fuel, and the water was subjected to a larger surface of iron. The steam was better produced from a temperature of 600 than from white beat, and on this principle the boiler was made. He never made such a large boiler before on such a principle. He thought the boiler was quite strong enough. It was not usual to test boilers, as they bad often been injured by so doing, and he did not approve of it. The boiler was made on his premises, of the best materials. The vessel had been out twice for a fortnight, and to Portsmouth, and the valves worked very well. He went on board on Thursday, and saw the steam issuing from the fracture. He ascer tained that the water was well up. He was in the engine room shortly before the explosion, and saw nothing to indicate any danger. He attributed the accident to over pressure. CoaoNEß—Do you consider 81bs. an over-pressure ? Mr. Rennie—No; it would stand a great deal more. I saw the steam rising up very rapidly, and remarked upon it. This was previous to the explosion. He gave no orders to the engineer, that was not his business. He had examined the iron, and it appeared to be good. The long fracture, however, appeared to be faulty in the rivets, but it was difficult to say from what cause. The accident was difficult to account for. When he made an examination that day, he found the valves tight, and not to be moved, but considered it was the effect of the explosion. The inquiry was adjourned until Wednesday next. AUGSBURG'', MAY 26.—The courier has this day brought nothing positive relative to the reports of war in the East. Whilst one of our Vienna letters gives the news of a battle fought near Meraasch, half way between Malatia and Semisat, another speaks of a movement of the Turkish army in the direction of the East, towards Orfa, in the direction of Bir, and which would have passed the Euphrates, which separates Syria from Mesopotamia. Bir, the ancient Birtha Beredschik, is a city of 4,000 inhabit. ants, with an old castle, and walls in ruins. Bir serves as a passage for the caravans which go from Alep to Orfa, Mapul, and in the Diarbekir. The caravans here pass the Euphrates, which is about 200 feet broad at this point. The Bath Chronicle is brimful of the Reverend Mister M'Ghee's bigotted rant. The first anniversary meeting of the " Bath Protestant Association" afforded the occasion on Tuesday for M'Ghee's outpouring of more than eleven columns of reported trash. On Monday week Mr. William Tinmouth, for merly of Bishopwearmon!' ikeeper, was released from Durham prison, after having suffered incarceration in that place for nearly nineteen years, for non-payment of a penalty to the Excise. - „ roLICE REGULATIOS.-A young woman was on Wednesday night taken to the Marylebone-lane sta tion-house, and there charged with having stolen a shawl. She was locked up, at the same time loudly protesting her innocence, and in the course of a couple of hours another woman was charged with the robbery of the identical shawl, having been stolen by her, and concealed beneath her dress. Application was then made, and bail offered, for the liberation of the female falsely accused, but all to no purpose, the Police Commissioners having issued strict orders to the effect that it shall not be in the power of any inspector, or other person on duty, to set free any one against whom a charge of felony has been entered in the books without first taking the accused before a magistrate. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT BILL.—The operation of the new Bill for the abolition of arrest may be traced from the following facts:—On the first day of the present Trinity Term there was not a single surrender in either the Queen's Bench or Fleet Prisons, nor a single prisoner charged in execution, nor has a solitary writ of Habeas Corpus issued ; and up to the present day but four persons have been charged in execution—a circumstance which has never before occurred. In the year 1826 there were ninety surrenders in the Queen's Bench in one day alone. The fact is, by being admitted to bail, as in the case under the present Act of Ist and 2d Victoria, the in solvents have an opportunity of seeing and arranging with their creditors, the opposition to whose discharge has, in consequence, dismissed one-half, and with it a diminution of Counsels' fees in the Insolvent Debtors' Court. One prisoner, in No. 13 staircase of the Queen's Bench, has the whole of the rooms (nine in number) to himself. HOPS.—WORCESTER, MAY 29.—We have had but thirty-five pockets of hops through the public scales since our last—namely, one during the week, and thirty-four on Saturday ; and in consequence of this limi tation of business it is difficult to quote prices with exact ness. The inquiry for hops of the finest samples was fre quent, but there were none upon the market, or ae have no doubt but they would have found ready purchasers at an advance. In consequence of the unpromising appear ance of the bine in this district, the holders of fine hops are reluctant to force them upon the market, hopino. no doubt to realize higher prices in a short time. Fine hops, it is stated, are not very plentiful among the planters. The flea is very numerous on the bine, but as yet no fly has appeared. Amongst our well-informed circles here there is a strong impression that the existing difficulties which have for some time prevailed in our commercial markets will be materially alleviated in the course of a week or ten days. Looking at the position in which the Joint Stock Banks have lately been placed under the modern, yet some what salutary, restrictions of the Bank of England towards many of those institutions in particular, and with all in general, it is evident that the Bank saw the coming danger, and we have some reason to believe that it has been for the present averted, although the rulers of that establishment have never been famed for the gift of a " second sight." One thing in favour of the safe result for the present, of the late Bank restriction, has arisen out of the circumstance that the late heavy speculations in cotton, &c., have been chiefly confined to Liverpool and the adjacent markets, thus leaving - the London Bill Market free from local paper. The exportation of bullion has di minished this week very co nsiderably in the aggregate, though th a t o f gold bears much the larger proportion. From the official returns for the period between the 23d and 29th of May, both inclusive, it appears that gold bul lion in bars has been exported to the extent of 8,060 ounces, and in coin to 6,150, but in silver the exports has been reduced to 11,272 ounces in coins only.—Morning Herald. On Friday evening last, a Lecture on the Prin ciples, Operations, and Claims of the British and Foreign Temperance Society, was delivered by the Assistant Se cretary, Mr. Clarks, at the Boy's National School-room, in Hampstead, by permission of the Rev. S. White, D. D., Vicar of Hampstead. In the absence of the Venerable Incumbent, who was prevented from being present by in disposition, of ositiu tie n i , the chair was taken by the Senior Curate of meeting, and only advocated upontheir thees claimspect which the the parish, th e R ev.

Several of the principal families of Hamstead honoured the ',p c _ Curer by their attendance ; though the meeting chiefly consisted of the operative classes, amongst whom a collec tion was made i n common w i th t h e re st, before they se. parated, towards supplying the necessary pecuniary means to carry forward the important operations of the Society. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 29.--The demand for all descriptions of sugar has been extremely animated since our last report, and a very extensive busi ness has been done at ve full prices, the whole of the late arrivals h av i ng been brought to market and all sold readily, except a part of the cargoes per Anna and Britannia, at an advance of ls. 6d, to 2s. per cwt.

The Lords present were the Lord Chan cellor,the Earl of Zetland, and Lord Colbourne. EWING V, BURNS. The arguments on this part-heard appeal, were resumed and concluded to-day. Their Lordships postponed giving judgment. FLEMING V. DUNLOP. The LORD ADVOCATE addressed their Lordships on behalf of the appellant in the case, the further considera tion of which was adjourned to Monday (this aay). BARRACK V. IRWIN. The plaintiff keeps the Union Hotel in Cockspur-street, and the defendant, Mr. O'Malley Irwin s, a gentleman of the Irish bar. This action was brought to recover the sum of 661. 14s. 5d., being the amount of his bill from the 6th of October, 1838, to the 15th of February, 1839, includ ing 91. 13s. 6d. for servants. Mr. BALL and Mr. C. JONES appeared for the plaintiff. The defendant conducted his own case. His Loßpm'r was of opinion that the claim for servants could not be sustained, and left the other point for the the consideration of the jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff, 571. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, JUNE 1. On Saturday, Thomas James Fel[gate, formerly re ceiving clerk to Mr. Harris, Eagle Brewery, Hampstead road, was opposed by that gentleman for having defrauded him of upwards of 3,0001., for which he had rendered himself liable to two years' imprisonment from the date of the vesting order. The insolvent had been out upon bail. In his examination the insolvent said he had made over his property, worth 8001., by bill of sale, to Mr. Harris. He acknowledged to having robbed that gentleman of upwards of 1,000/., and had to put it in.his schedule. He had been chapel warden at Mr. Mortimer's Chapel, Gray's Inn lane, where he had received 41/., and employed it to his own use. He had received 401. from the servant of Mr. Harris for the purpose of placing it in that parson's hands for the benefit of her infant daughter, and which he had also used. The insolvent assigned as the reason for his insolvency his late employer's demand of the restitution of the money of which he had been defrauded. The Com missioner adjourned the further hearing of the case until Friday, when judgment will be passed, and the prisoner was ordered into immediate custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. On Saturday an old man named Finnerty, formerly a tailor in good circumstances, and brother of the late Mr. Peter Finnerty, applied to the Alderman for a compulsory order, under the 27th sec. of the Poor-lawAmendment ‘ Act, to compel the Guardians of the West London Union to al low him a sufficient weekly sum for his support out of the workhouse. The applicant stated that at his advanced age (74), and being nearly blind, one shilling and six. pence a week was not sufficient for his support ; he was ill and required nourishing diet ; he asked for seven shil lings a week. The relieving officer said he could not comply with the demand of the complainant without the sanction of the Board. The Alderman thought the. Board should allow Finnerty five shillings, and the officer pro mised to mention his wishes to the Guardians. UNION-HALL. William James Daley, a tradesman, living in Coleman's place, Lambeth, was charged under Lord Ellenborough's Act with cutting and wounding David Godfrey, a corn chandler, Lower Marsh, Lambeth. The complainant stated that he was in his shop on Sa turday night, when the prisoner came in and pushed against Mrs. Emanuel, who was there ; she went to her husband, who had some angry words with the prisoner. He then went away, but returned shortly with something in his hand, over which he had a handkerchief; he swore " he would do for some of them." The prosecutor asked who; when he replied, " You," at the same time striking him a tre mendous blow on the head, which cut it dreadfully, and another on the temple, which felled him to the ground; he also struck the prosecutor's wife. The prisoner was taken into custody, and the prosecutor was confined to his bed until to-day, when he could, with difficulty, give his evi dence. A surgeon stated that Mr. Godfrey had received two serious and dangerous wounds, one of which bad divided a branch of the temporal artery; although he did not appre hend immediate danger, yet there was no saying with cer tainty what their effects might be. The policemen and other witnesses confirmed the prosecutor's account, and the prisoner, who offered bail to any amount, was fully com mitted for trial on the capital charge, and bail refused.

We learn from the Western Times that Devonshire desires to lay at the feet of her Majesty another loyal Ad dress, and that there is to be a county meeting for this pur pose. Our contemporary says that the malignant Tories will attempt to move " a disloyal amendment." But it is believed that they will be awed into silence, as they were at Exeter, by an overwhelming majority of Reformers. A kind gentlemanlike note from Mr. Liston, the ex- Monarch of Comedy, to Mr. Webster of the Hay market, sent on Friday, sets at rest (and to the inexpressi ble sorrow of myriads) the question of Mr. Liston ever again appearing (professionally) in public; for in that note he emphatically says—" As I shall have no further occasion for them, you will be pleased to accept from an old brother actor any six wigs you may think proper to select from my stock, in the possession of Mr. Willson, 277, Strand." Many of the inhabitants of this city are signing a requisition to the Bath Postmaster, requesting him not to desecrate the Sabbath by sending their letters to them on a Sunday.—Bath Chronicle. [We are only astonished, after the repeated complaints that have been made, that Lord Lichfield does not dismiss the Postmasters of Bath and Derby. What a desecration of the Sabbath to dis turb the devotion of any of the inhabitants by informing them that some dear friend was on the point of death, and anxious to see their relatives before they quit this earthly scene.] WILL OF CARDINAL FESCH.—A letter from Rome, published in the Reparateur of Lyons, contains the following details of the last wishes of Cardinal Fesch : " The ex-King Joseph is his hereditary legatee ; his major-domo, who has never quitted him since 1801, is his executor. He leaves a great number of legacies to his family ; to his native place, Ajaccio, a considerable sum to build a church, and found a seminary. Lyons is not for gotten. Part of his rich and precious gallery of pictures is devoted to furnish the necessary sums for the legacies ; a second part is to be sold in favour of his nephews, and a third to provide for the education of the children of his nephews who bear the name of Bonaparte, and who are not rich. The Cardinal, before he died, ordered that no other honours should be rendered him than those indis pensable to his rank of Cardinal and Archbishop. After the ceremony the body will be transported to Corveto, and buried by the side of Madame Letitia." MURDER AT YEOVIL.—About a fortnight since we stated the death of Mr. S. V. Gregory, vete rinary surgeon, of Yeovil, whose body was found lying on the turnpike-road between Sherborne and that town. On Thursday week, after three adjournments of the inquest on the body, there being some mysterious circumstances connected with the death ; the Jury again assembled the fourth time, and, after deliberately considering the whole of the evidence which had been adduced, unanimously returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some per son or persons unknown." It appears that the deceased had on the same day he met with his death (Friday) received the amount of two or three bills at Yeovil Market, and had purchased half a pound of tea, which he requested to be tied up in quarter pounds, for the purpose of carrying one in each pocket, but the tea and the money, with the exception of a few halfpence, were missing from his person when the body was picked up.—Taunton Courier. The rumour which we noticed a few days ago, of a fatal accident having taken place at Naples, on the 29th April last, to John Andrew M'Douall, Esq., second son of the late Andrew M'Douall, Esq., of Logan, has been con firmed. Mr. M'Douall was riding pretty sharply through the streets of that town, in company with a friend, when a woman becoming alarmed at their approach, ran directly in the way of his horse, which fell, and the unfortunate gentleman was thrown upon the ground, falling with great violence on his head, lie was picked up insensible, and remained in that state for forty-eight hours, when death terminated his sufferings. Deceased was in his 34th year, and has left one son, who is now heir-presumptive to one of the oldest families in Scotland, the representatives of the ancient Princes of Galloway. Thursday afternoon, about three o'clock, a young man in the service of Mr. J. Mason, butcher, Blackmoor street, Drury lane, was standing near a sky-light which is over a staircase, and by some accident fell through to the bottom, a height ®f three stories, dashing against the stairs, &c., in his course. At the instant it was thought he must inevitably have been killed on the spot, but to the surprise of all, on the prompt arrival of Mr. Walker, sur geon, of Drury-lane, that gentleman declared that not a hone was:; broken. The injuries were of the most trifliog nature. PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 1. Number Dividend . Price of per CANALS, per ihares. Annum. raid.
