EVENING EDITION. BLACKWALL RAILWAY.—The follow ing article, from the pea of Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., 111. P., appeared as a leading article in the True Sun newspaper of the 13th of March, 1837, of which pap* r he was proprietor. Mr. Harvey at that time advocated, with his u‘ual the extension of the RailA ay to Leadenhall-street, although then intended to be worked by locomotive engines, and consequently liable to all the objections incidental to the use of such among Louses;; R hereashe now objects to any extension at all, although the extension sought for (to Fenchurch-street only, about half the distance) will be worked without any description of engine, the trains being made to travel one way by momentum, and the other by gravity. We cannot congratulate the Honourable Gentleman on his cor.sistency, but he, no doubt, will explain in his speech of to morrow (Thursday), when again attempting to defeat the Bill by delay, how he came to advocate, in 1837, as advantages, the identical peculiarities of the Blackwell Railway, which, in 1839, he strenuously opposes, and against which he has so frequently divided the Committee during an investigation of twenty-one days' duration, " Metropolitan Railways.—The Blackwell Railway is another which cannot fail to be eminently productive of advantages both to the public and subscribers. The object of this scheme is to connect Blackwell, the East and West. India Docks with Leaden hall-street, by means of a railway carried upon arches over the intervening thoroughfares. On the completion of this railway all the dangers of the river navigation, particularly at that part tilled the Pool, will be avoided, as steamers will lard their' passengers at Blackwell, from whence they will be conveyed in ter, minutes to Leadenhall-strect, close to the great centre of coach and omnibus conveyances. The same journey, a dis sa.ce of four miles; is now performed by coaches in forty mi nutes, and by omnibuses in an hour. From Blackwell the steam boats are frequently one hour and a half in working their cautious way through the crowded river to London-bridge. "The list of accidents upon this part of the river is quite cppalling, and if a gain of time is made by landing at Blackwell, there is no reason steam-boats should not be compelled to dis charge their pi Wagers there; at all ever.ts the public will not overtook the facility and safety of that plan. From the improve ments which have been discovered there is not the least danger t o the houses, above which the trains will pass, and the noise made by them will be much less than that of the present crowded streets. " The numbers of persons and the quantities of goods passing and repassing between the tw3 points are enormous, and it ap pea.rs from the evidence given by Dr. Lardncr, that the forma tion of a railway usually increases the number of passengers foarfold. Should it prove so in this case the profit to the share holders must be great. The most obvious objection to this railway is the shortness of the line, but this is a disadvantage sufficiently compensated by the vast populousness of the locality. 1110 e ver Dr. Lardner, who, as a general rule, has strongly in sisted upon this objection, said, at a meeting of proprietors last month, From a full knowledge of its statistical and commer cial advantages, and from its being the most promising under taking he bad he..rd of, he had become a considerable proprie tor and that it. was Vac, first joint stock company i n whi c h he had ever been interestcd.'" ilolb , r -hill.--Genuine Furniture, Pianoforte, Painting by Morland, 2)J Volumes of Books, Office Book-cases, i'hm ton, Wearing Apparel, and Effects, removed from Hackney, by order of the Executors of a Gentleman deceased, and under execution.

IThe CHANCELLOR fixed his Budget for the sth of July, when he is to move resolutions for a uniform Penny, Postage. Mr. SLANEY submitted to the House a motion for forming public walks in the vicinity of large towns, but. at the earnest request of Members on all sides, with draw it, on the understanding that Government will take the matter into consideration, with a view of pro moting the establishment of such walks, in conjunction with the inhabitants of the different towns. We heard Members on all sides of the House express theniselves warmly in favour of the proposition, which we record with pleasure, as another proof that the House of Com mons is disposed to lookwith kindliness and attention on the wants of the people. We were glad also to hear that several Members advocated Sunday amusements. The remainder of the evening was occupied by an animated debate on Mr. GROTE'S motion for leave to brin g in a Bill to take the vote for Members of Parlia ment by Ballot. We shall probably refer hereafter to the debate. At present we shall only say that Lord Woast.Er seconded Mr. GROTE'S motion, and Ur. M. r. krASICELL was the first person to cPoose it. After he had spoken , Mr. MACAULAY made a brill iant and forcible p eech in w . hich be gave an eloquent vindicationofth s epolicY of open questions, and an admirable illustration of the probable working of •the Ballot. His denunciation of intimidation, as briber His with barbarity, was very happy, and was wen received b . interesting debate followed, the House. An animated and lost hy 33;, to which ended in the mo tion being the making the Ballotto 216. As we anticipated n a u n b open question has not much increased t e e t r ha o t f it s supurters. We remark with some regret2t al l u di ng to some observation of Lord Mr. Ho"TE' said he felt less gratitude to the Governmentwicfox; making this an open question, since that enabled the Cabinet to rejoice with the more cer larger half of the C~~ (; t tainty of its defeat. The country therefore has gained little or nothing by the Cabinet having made this an open question. Whether it may gal . ' any thing hereafter or not we cannot foresee, but this we at once know and can say, that not from the Mi nisters, not from the Commons, and still less from the Lords, will the Constituencies ever get the Ballot unless they numerously, vigorously, and stub bornly demand it. We have gained Mr. MACAULAY'S eloquence and vote, which are something on our side, but we have gained little more. The House sat till past Two o'Clock. Our anticipations of yesterday morning were realised by last night's debate. The friends of the Ballot have gained little or nothing by its having been made an open question. Ministers, as was avowed by Lord Joull RUSSELL, did not however resort to that alternative till they could not help themselves. He had used all his efforts to per suade his friends to vote against the Ballot, and gave up attempting to influence them, when he found that two hundred of them refused to follow his advice. The Noble Lord has, we have no doubt, sincere, conscientious, and well-weighed objections to the Ballot, but his reason for not throwing it as a shield over the voter, given by a person in autho rity, is as strange a one as we have for some tune encountered. . He admits all the evils of intimida tion, he admits it is a crime, but he looks for a re medy, mirabile dictu, to the progress of public opi nion. Now such a reason,. given by a person who thinks, as many persons begin to think, that legislation is altogether from first to last a great scheme of iniquity, would seem very rational ; but given - by a Noble Lord who is a Minister of the Crown, who asks for 'power and holds it to correct abuses, strikes at the root of his own authority and of all legislation. If the influence of public opinion be re lied on to correct intimidation, may it not he equally relied on to put an end to every social evil, and every crime, seeing that they `are all reprobated, as well as the crime of intimidation, by the common and natural sentiments of mankind.. But then in timidation is a crime only, or chiefly practised by the rich, and while the Noble Lord will not rely on public opinion to put dovvii the smallest vice or offence in the poor, while he published proclama tions to prevent them carrying a club, he will trust the crimes of the rich to be repressed by public indignation. This is, however, only an other specimen of that general system of legislation which prevails in this country, of which the princi ple is that Late is merely an instrument to promote the advantage of the rich at the expense of the poor. To •resist the Ballot on such pretexts is to strengthen the hands of the enemies of all law. Another Minister (Lord Ho WICK) was equally sincere with Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and avowed that he consented to make the Ballot an open ques tion, with the expectation of bringing it into dis repute. He allowes his friends to embrace it that may be strangled. But if that be Lord HowicK's wish, why have not he and his friends taken that line before ? Why, if he have such strong opi nions on the Ballot, has he not left a Ca binet, which, according to himself, has been promoting its success by closing their ranks against it ? Why has he been a party to de lude the, Reformers for months and years, by teaching them to hope, as all the Cabinet have taught them, by their silence, if not by their words, that the Ministers would make the Ballot an open question when they could, not with a view to stifle it, but to give it a chance of success ? Well might Mr. GROTE say that the Reformers owed the Ca binet no gratitude for a concession which one Minis ter admitted was extorted, and another said was granted to impede the views of their own friends. We should be more amazed at such conduct of the Ministers if we did not find something in the proceedings of the Opposition equally or still more reprehensible. Sir JAMES GRAHAM and his friends resisted Mr. GROTE'S motion because the Reform Act was a final measure. He and some other Statesmen had agreed to make it so, from which it appears that the insolent cad of a Pembroke Knight treats the liberties of the country as the property of a few wretched tricksters of Statesmen. What business had he or any man to bargain away our right to be rescued from the crime of intimidation for a small extension of the fran chise? Sir ROBERT PEEL took still higher ground as his argument against open questions, and claimed for the gentlemen who barter away the liber ties of the people, for their mutual convenience, the right of leading the public mind on matters of legislation. He defended in substance the prin 'ciplc and the practice that the Ministers for the time being should alone have the means and the power of passing measures through Parliament. To that end they must remain united, and the Cabinet, that is to influence the Legisla ture as well as administer the government, can tolerate no open questions. We see such opinions as those we have adverted to propounded in Parlia ment with some astonishment. They cannot fail to strengthen the power of the Chartists, by show ing on the one hand that law is a mere instrument for punishing the poor, arid by showing on the other that the means of making the law is to be placed under a Cabinet which can only last as long as all the members agree to exercise a despotism over each other, so that they may also exercise it over the nation. The Ministers (if we should not rather say the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER) were left last night in a very small minority on the subject of the Danish Claims. Even with the support of Mr. GOULBURN, and perhaps of two or three other Tories interested in defending a former Tory Go vernment, the Ministers could only muster 32 sup porters, while against them there was a majority of 95. To be beaten 3to 1 would, under any cir cumstances, be disreputable, but to be left in so small a minority on a question in which jus tice was against them, and above all to to be left in such a minority, when they were endeavouring to gloze over a piece of gross Tory negligence, if not a profligate Tory job, is, we are bound to admit, highly dis graceful to them. The circum s t ances un d er w hi c h they risked and encountered this defeat, were as follows : When England found it necessary in 1807, to make a sudden war on Denmark, in order to mask her designs she allowed her merchant ships to proceed thither as usual ; and when some mer chants, alarmed at the rumours which were in circulation, applied to the Government to know if they might send their ships to Denmark, they were assured there was no danger what ever----no chance of war. Accordingly they sent their ships, laden with goods, to Denmark, and soon afterwards England made an unexpected, and many writers maintained at the time, an unwar ranted attack on Copenhagen, seizing and confis cating the Danish fleet, and half destroying the Danish capital. In all other parts of Denmark, wherever English property was found, it was seized and confiscated ; and from that time to this the persons whose property was so confiscated have claimed compensation from the British Government. We think their claims just. Whenever a community, for some purpose of general good, exposes some of its members to extraordinary losses, it is bound. to make them good, or distribute the losses as equally as possible over the whole, so that one or a few shall not be ruined for the common be. nefit. If that rule be at all times good, it must apply with great force to such a ci:se as that under consideration, in which Great Britain was the ag gressor, anti in which she had encouraged her people to pursue their usual commercial enterprises. For about thirty years, however, did the persons whose property was confiscated appeal at intervals to the Government in vain ; till at length, in 1834, after repeated attacks, Lord ALTHORP admitted the i justice of the claimi, and in pursuance of that ad- t mission and subsequent attacks, a sum of 295,0001. t has been voted in satisfaction of the demands of , I those wh ose p ro p er t y was se i ze d an d con fi scate d i n 1807 ; but some distinctions having been made between the different classes of claimants, those who claimed on account of ships and other goods afloat, were refused compensation. Last year Mr. CrtEsswcu.hrought those claims under notice, and carried an address to her MAJESTY to have them examined, in spite of the Ministers, by a majority of 34. It pleased the Chancellor of the Exchequer, however, Mr. RICE —for it is in his department, and we will not class all the Ministers with him— to render this address of non-avail, by ordering the Commissioners to report on the cases of individuals claiming, without adjudicating on them. Mr. RICE, therefore, took it on himself to defeat the obvious intention of the majority which out-voted him ; and, to meet that, Mr. CRESSWELL last night moved another address to the Crown, to direct the THE SUN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1839. Commissioners to adjudicate. Mr. RICE thought it his duty to resist that motion, and he was de feated by 95 to 32. No persons are more ready than we are to praise economy in a Minister, and to support him in re sisting the numerous stimuli to lend himself to one job or another, which are continually applied to him. • But when Mr. RICE saw that such econo mical and conscientious men as Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. HUME approved of the grant, that would have been a complete justification of his acceding to it. But he loves to show his independence and his stoic virtue at the wrong time. He stoutly re sisted, and declared that he would not undertake, in obedience to the vote of the House, to include the 3UM in the estimates, that he would not be respon sible for it, and that he would resist Mr. CRESSWELL at every subsequent stage. He talked of having a call of the House, and, of course, of bringing down all the Tories to bolster up the in justice originally done by a Tory Govern ment, and now patronised by the Whigs. Sir ROBERT PEEL found it impossible to resist the majority of the House of Commons, and we can net think that Mr. RICE will succeed where Sir ROBERT has failed. We regret to have so to speak of any Member of the Ministry, but we must ask who is Mr. SPRING RICE, with his Bills to improve the Shannon, which one of our Contemporaries characterises as a gross job, that he should take it on himself to resist the vote of the House of Commons and the cause of justice ? -If he had always shown himself extremely careful of the public money, we should have given him credit for resisting this motion from a love of economy, but there are too many facts fresh in our recollection to allow us to suppose that Mr. Rica resists the claims of the Danish sufferers from an invincible horror to squander the public money. There is more presumption and pride in the resistance, we are afraid, than a regard to the public purse. Why the demand should be resisted, when a sanc tion was elves to compliance by two such Members as Mr. HUME and Mr. WARBURTON, we cannot . conceive, unless it be that Mr. RICE is determined on making the rest of the Ministers, who are equally responsible with him for his conduct, as unpopular as he deservedly is. Greater injustice, united with greater arrogance, than he last night exhibited, has not of late been witnessed in the House of Commons. We cannot conclude without observing that Mr. CRESSWELL, Mr. HUME, and Mr.WARBURTON, severally made clear and forcible statements, and the persons whose cause they advocated will owe them a large debt of gratitude. A somewhat curious debate took place la! t night in the House of Commons, on the London and Blackwall Railway Bill. According to the Bill, obtained by the Company in 1836, the London terminus of the Railway was to be at the Minories. It has, however, been judged expedient, in order the more. effectually to carry out the objects in tended to be promoted by this Railway, that the terminus should be advanced about 415 yards far ther westward, which brings it into Fenchurch• street. To this extension of the original plan, cer tain parties, for reasons well known to themselves, are strenuously opposed. Mr. CRAWFORD, the City Member, and Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE H AR- VEY, appeared for those parties, but they made out a miserably lame case for their clients. When a man of Mr. HARVEY'S acknowledged abilities fails so utterly to give even plausibility to the objections which he brings forward, there _is good reason to suspect that- the cause which he has undertaken to advocate is none of the best. In this instance too, the Honourable. Member had to contend against a very powerful adversary. He had to answer the very cogent, and indeed, conclu sive arguments which he himself had urged on a former occasion in favour of that which he now condemns, and which the promoters of the Bill have thought so valuable as to deserve to he repub lished, by way of advertisement, in all the news papers. The principal objection to the Bill seems to be the great expense which the projected exten sion will cost. It is an enormous waste of money, says Mr. HARVEY, to layout 200,0001. on 415 yards of railway. A mile at this rate would cost a million of money. Now, we take it that this is a consideration, not so much for Mr. HA RVEY and the persons whom he represents on this occasion, as for those who sub scribe the money ; and as to the destruction of the property he bewails in such mournful terms, it is pure moonshine. The parties whose old houses are pulled down will receive full compensation for any loss they may sustain, and a little fresh air will be let in where it is much wanted. If the destruc. tiou . of property were to be allowed as a valid objec tion to a Railroad, bow many ofthese highly and justly lauded improvements should we possess ? Then again it is said that this railroad ought not to be encouraged, because it is not connected with a wharf. Was it proposed to be so connected when it met with Mr. I-1 A R VEY'S unqualified ap probation before ? We suspect not. And how many railroads can the Hon. 'Gentleman enume rate:which are so connected ? To take an in stance at hand and in point—is the Greenwich Railway so connected, and what are the great disadvantages which have been experienced by that railway's terminating ilear London-bridge, in the heart of as crowded a population as is to be found in any part of the City of London ? In short, not a single objection or shadow of objection has been brought against this Railway which does not apply to every under taking of the kind. Such, indeed, seemed to be the feeling of the House, for notwithstanding all the exertions, and they have. not been small, which have been used by certain not altogether disinte rested opponents of the measure, only 73 votes could be mustered last night against a majority of 17i;. It is now nearly nine years since the Tories have had almost uninterrupted possession of the Oppo sition.benches. According to their Journals, and to their own very intelligible insinuations, they are by far the most superior statesmen of this and per haps of any age. For nine years nearly they have been unincumbercd with the cares of office, and have' had full leisure to employ their capacities in improving the laws of their country. It cannot be said that no improvement is needed. Inquiries were instituted severa 'years ago into the Courts of Chancery and of Common Law, into the Eccle siastical Courts, and into the Criminal Law, and in all these branches and offsets of the State grievous errors were announced, and great demands were, made for improvement. Our fiscal system . requires amendment in all its parts. Since the Tories have been in opposition commerce has been convulsed, the currency has been deranged, and both agriculture and manufacture have been alternately distressed. Complaints just and well-founded, have been made by numerous classes of the people ; crimes have not decreased, the general rapacity has augmented ; and our so cial evils, or those which are not directly caused by legislation, have been as numerous as those which, like defective Courts of Law, and improper and unjust taxes, have their exclusive origin in the ignorance or the malevolence of the legislator. Here, then, has been a great field for the hardworking, skilful Tories to till. Never had men a better op portunity of gaining immortal reputation, and even of acquiring power. What, then, has this powerful, intelligent, and skilful band Of statesmen performed? What Courts have they improved—what laws have they amended —what taxes modified or reduced = what social evils have they ever sought to redress— what measure of likelihood have they ever proposed to Parliament? We must answer, none. Never was greatness so undiscoverable by its works. Some efforts the Tories have made to extend the Church in Scotland, and to botch up the Church in England, but otherwise their nine years' opposi tion is a blank, save as i t may also conta i n the history of their miserable factious strife. Their mighty champion, the first statesman of the age, who h as passe d hi s l i fe in office and in Parliament, their great GOLIA H, the very hero of has in hi s n i ne years ' seclusion from office il' produced nothing, we believe, but the Bill to settle Controverted Elections. He offers that to the world as the fruit of nine years' labour in the service of mankind. Pshaw !--,the hatred inspired by their love of oppression is not half so profound as the contempt we feel for this wretched crew of boasters and charlatans. The Tory quacks, with their mighty promises and their utter failures,, both in office and out of office, are infinitely more offensive than the gentlemen who chalk the walls, and delude only the most ignorant and the most credulous. Our readers will I - TaT7aserved, by our report of I the Parliamentary proceedings of Monday night, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, in reply to a question put by an Hon. Member, that no Chinch rate Bill would be brought into Parliament by her MAJESTY'S Ministers this session. This declara tion will cause no surprise in any quarter. After the delay, so full of meaning, .which has taken place in drawing up the Report of the Committee on Church Leases, no one could reasonably expect any other result. It is quite clear that the Government cannot at present propose to legislate satisfactorily on this important subject. It is not strong enough in it self to grapple with a question like this, on which it finds arrayed against it all the rank and file of a wealthy, selfish, and intolerant Church, leagued with a powerful but unprincipled political party in Parliament, while it has derived no. countervailing support from that numerous portion of the commu nity who profess to regard Church-rates as a griev • ante of the first. magnitude. The fate .of any measure, such as would satisfy the Dis senters, introduced into the House of Commons under these circumstances, may easily be antici pated. Had Sir ROBERT PEEL succeeded in forcing himself on his insulted SOVEREIGN, and had he been able also to get a majority —were it of only one vote—in the House of 'Commons, we should have had the Church-rate question settled at once and for ever. The conscience tax would have been saddled upon the Consolidated Fund, and there would have been an end of it in its present shape. But would the grievance of which the Dis senters complain have been redressed by this piece of hocus pocus ? Would the injustice an d t h e into lerance of compelling people to p a y t h e i r money i n support of a religious system from which they de rive no benefit, and of which they conscientiously disapprove, be any way lessened by mixing that money up with the finances of the State before it passed into the hands of the Churchwardens? So far from this, we apprehend such trickery as this would add to the pressure of the existing evil the hopelessness of ever getting rid of it. It would be to clinch the ecclesiastical chain more firmly round the necks of the people than it is now, when it is almost strangling them, soul and body. What then is to be done to bring the question to a favourable issue ? The answer, we think is .obvious. •Agitate. Keep up, increase the excite ment against the • " nefarious exaction," by every possible means •not inconsistent with the law. Every locality must look to its own . affairs. It is tim e t o get rid of the fatal delusion which the Dissenters have so long indulged, that their affairs can be better managed by others than by themselves. Self-ex ertion, they ought by this time to know, is their only hope—their sheet anchor, in which they must put their sole trust. We have over and over again told them that unless they act, their words will go for nothing with the public.. Their loud profes sions, without correspondirg actions, will inevitably produce a suspicion of their sincerity, and their op ponents will consequently feel the more emboldened to treat their claims with indifference, if not with contempt. • Upon the course which they pursue between this time and the re-assembling of Parliament. next S'es sion, will mainly depend the reception with which any measure, to be then introduced for their relief, may meet. A strenuous and systematic opposition to the laying of Church -rates, and to their payment when laid in spite of them, by a tyrant majority, is no more than the simple d u ty o f a ll who f e el, or pr o f ess to feel,- the compulsory payment of this iniquitous impost as a violation of their conscientous scruples. Let, then, this general resistance be manifested as a n evidence of the faith that is in them, as well as an an instrument for attaining their object. Let it be backed, too, by petitions to the Legislature frc.m every town, and, if possible, from every parish, in England and Wales, and we will answer for the immediate and entire abolition of Church-rates. The political aspect of affairs in the East is the only interesting subject of discussion in the Paris Journals. There are some judicious remarks in the Commerce, on the Report of the Conimittee of the Chamber of Peers on the late entnete in the csitAal ; and the Constitution eel has an able article on the present position of the French . Cabinet ; but these matters are at present of secondary consideration. No person in France or out of it pays much regard to the constitution of a Cabinet. which is a negation of all political consistency; and which requires only to be left to itself to tumid, to pieces. Great distress prevails among the working classes in France. The intrigues of the Court are le g ibly written in the starved coun t enanc e s of thou sa nd s of humble artizans and their families. Even the shopo cracy of Paris begin to complain loud:y of the stagna tion of trade consequent upon the Ministerial interreg nums:and revolutionary emueles which now so regularly succeed each other to the great diversification of Royal .amusements in France. ' - The heat was 'so ''great in Paris" -- On Monday that ' several horses felt dead in the streets. On Sunday List the first number of a new Journal., edited by M. I)URAND, for several years editor of the Journal de Fran/fort, appeared in Paris. It will be ; the organ of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. in France, 1 as M.' Duaasp's admiration of Russia is unbounded. It is supposed that. the Imperial Treasury will supply the funds for carrying on this Journal, and the Imperial Cabinet many of the articles which will appe ar in its columns. M. Mittman, however, claims for his . Paper strict impartiality, and for himself the high personal honour and pure patriotism of a Frenchman. The Itioniteur I?epublicain has re-apPeared since the publication of the Report of the Chamber of Peers, and is more violent than ever against Royalty. The Siecle juetly observes that it is not by prosecutions, but by neglect, that such publications can be suppressed ; and that to denounce them in official Reports, is to ensure them a dangerous notoriety and an extensive circulation. The following extracts from the Paris Journals of Monday, contain the substance of the latest news from the East : Aieft at Al A ep l p ett o a a nd w r e id e , k of the 27th ult , says a cor of thewlic l s b u d r e ;n den couriert " has just arrived . w ith despat c h es from Ibrahim Facha . , announcing that if the .armies arc drawn nearer to each other a collision will be inevitable. The camps are within sight of each other, but no conflict has yet taken place. Each General appeared to be waiting for the attack. Count Modem and 'A Laurin have bad an interview with the Viceroy, the result of which has been the drawing up of the following protocol, sign e d b y the three parties : Mehemet Ali engages—First, to withdraw his army from Syria as soon as that of the Sultan has retired ; Secondly, to pay the tribute due to Turkey: and, Thirdly, to rely upon the good offices of Russia and Austri a for a scare ment of all his differences with the Porte." ODESSA, MAY 23.—The greater portion of the fleet in the Black Sea, under the command of Admiral Lazard, consisting of 18 ships of the line, 12 frigates, eight cm vettes, six brigs, and six steamers, is still at anchor at Sy nopia. A division of this squadron, commanded by Vice- Admiral Oumanetz, is stationed nearly opposite Boujouk dere, and a ship of the line and two frigates have advanced as far as the entrance into the Bosphorus. The prepa= rations for war in the Russian army continue with great activity: A corps of 40,000 men is already assembled in the Crimea, quite ready to embark at the first sig nal, at two points, namely, Sebastopol and Keel* where there are more than one hundred and sixty ves sels of transport, as well as the squadron of Prince Gotchakof, destined to protect the disembarkation of these troops. The division of Lieutenant-General Rejewzki, which it was first intended should act against the Circassians, has gone to Anapa and Soujoum Kale, points from which it can be easily transported to Trebi zend. The army of the south encamped on the banks of the Pruth and of the Danube, and which is composed of 120,000 men and three hundred and sixty pieces of artil lery, is waiting every moment the orders to march. It is affirmed that Field Marshal Paskewitsh has only departed for Gelmany in order to make known the change in the Russian plans, and that he must soon repair to Bessarabia,to take the command of the numerous troops which are there. The considerable forces whichßussia is collectingeand tbeim mense quantity of rations and munitionsof war now prepar ing, prove that it is not merely a -lernonstration which is in tended but a serious war. It is said that the Czar has decided upon restoring Count de Worontzoff to the post of Governor-General of Little Russia, and that an Impe rial Rescript has already given Worontzoff as the name ef a steamer to navigate the Dnieper. If this news is true, it is to cajole the southern population, in order to appease the fermentation which is reigning, and which in the event of a war, might easily be turned into a general insurrection. The Trident and Genereux, both of the line, sailed on Friday last from Toulon for the Levant. The following ac count of the different fleets and squadrons in the East is given by the 7'oulonnais Turkish Fleet—Six ships of the line, viz., one of 110 guns, three of 96, one of 94, and one of 90 : eight frigates, viz., two of 64, one of 60, and one of 59, one of 56, one of 50, two of 46 ; four brigs of 20 gees, two cutters and two steamers.

The Royal Ordinance relative to the Press was beginning to be regarded as so much waste pap - er ; the Journalists refusing to yield obedience to it, and the Government not daring to attempt compulsory measures. Perhaps the circumstance of a duel between the Editors of the Gairiguay and the Correio Nacional, in which the latter was slightly wounded, alarmed the new Minister of Finance, who, with all his sensitiveness to Newspaper attacks, may prefer the discharge of an inkhorn to that of a pistol. Better be laughed at than shot at, especially where there is barely but a choice of evils. Orders have been. sent to the Captain-General of the island of Cuba to send back to Europe the patiiots of Cadiz and Barcelona, who were transported there by the decree of the Captai❑ General, Count CLEONARD and Baron de MEER. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT THIS DAY, OLD COURT. William Smith, a decently dressed young man, having been remanded from the last Session, was placed at the bar, charged with having committed a forgery with intent to defraud Sophia Woodin. The prosecutor, an old lady, residing in Sloane-street, had been acquainted with the prisoner's father, and had taken the prisoner into her house to reside. She imagined that she was entitled to the estates of the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Macclesfield. Lord Shaftesbury, and other Noblemen ; she consulted the prisoner on the subject, who stated that he would take the advice of Sir John Law, of Plumer's buildings, Temple, who, being a Commissioner of Law, was, of course, a high legal authority. The prisoner told the prosecutrix shortly afterwards, that having seen Sir John Law, he hadgiven it as his opinion that her claim was just to the estate of the Duke of Buckingham, and that, in order to enforce it, it would be requisite to remove the body of lir:r father to the tomb of his ancestors; in order to accomplish which object, a faculty must be obtained from the Archbishop of Canterbury, which would cost 1001. She immediately or dered her broker to sell out this sum, which was placed in Mas terman's bank, and from thence remitted to Wigney's bank in 13right , ,n, for a Mr. Salmon, who was represented as being the clerk of Sir John Law. On her cross-examination the prosecutrix said that she was the grandaughter of Lord Sheffield, because her father had married Lord Sheffield's daughter—that her father was a Baronet, and the title might to have come to her, but she never got it. She also stated that Lord Shaftesbury had been an admirer of her's, but that in consequence of an angry reply she had made to his Lordship in a butcher's shop, he had not been to sec her, and had not offered her marriage, for which she was very sorry—that she was entitled to Lord Alacelesfield's estates, who had been to see her a day or two since. Many particulars of a similar nature were elicited in the course of the cross examination. A letter respecting the proceedings of Sir John Law, to en force her rights, written by the prisoner to the prosecutrix, was put in and read, and witnesses were called, to prove the prsoner's handwriting, and the payment to him of the 1001. by the Messrs. Wigney, of Brighton. Mr. PKr.NDERGAST made an objection to the indictmen which was overruled. Mr. PRENDERGAST for the defence contended that the deuce of the prosecutrix could not be entitled to credit, as she was evidently labouring under delusions of such a nature as would prevent her being convicted of perjury if her evidence should be proved to be false. One witness was called to character who had not known the prisoner since 1834, at which time he was classical tutor in the establishment of a Mr. Hamilton. Air. Baron GURNEY summed up, and the jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Ba , on - GURNEY, in passing sentence, addressed the pri soner as follows:—Prisoner at the bar, it is lamentable to see a person possessing such acquirements and knowledge as you pos sess, and which might enable you to attain a respectable situa tion in society, using tho:e acquirements and that knowledge for so wicked a purpose as you have done. You haVe practised deceit on this poor old lady, whom it was your duty to have pro tected, and not to have plundered. Your crime was committed with great deliberation, and shows a most depraved heart. A person of your description cannot be suffered to remain at large in this country. The sentence of the Court is, that you be transported beyoud the seas for the term of fourteen years. EAST INDIA DOUSE.-(THIS DAY A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held this day, Sir R. JENKINS in the Chair, who stated that the dividend warrants would be ready for delivery on Saturday, the 6th of July next. Sir C. Foams complained of the delay that had occurred in furnishing the usual Accounts of the Company. - Mr. PoiNDER presented a petition from the Clergy of Bris tol, praying the Company to abolish the Pilgrim tax, and not allow their servants to interfere iii the religious ceremonies of the natives. • The CHAIRMAN said they had received notice from the In dian. Government that the Pilgrim tax had been abolished at .Allerhabad. No information had yet been received from other places. MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Small supplies of Grain, and little disposition to do business, and Mondays rates are hardly maintained. Barley, Beans Peas, and Oats unvaried. Flour met a very dull trade at last quotations.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET OF TUESDAY.--We had a very limited demand for Cotton to-day. The sales are about 1,500 t ales without a change in prices. BiLs on the Continent were again scarce yesterday, whicli caused a decline in the foreign exchanges. The accounts from Liverpool, this morning, state that the corn crop is improving rapidly, and promises to be ORO of the finest ever known,. if the weather continues. Some heavy sales of stock, in the course of yesterday, took place, owing to the uncertain state of affairs in the East which rather depressed the British Market, but towards the closing of the market Consuls were rather bet ter, and opened this morning as they closed, 931 I for the Account; Reduced 924 1 ; Exchequer Bills, 29 31; India Bonds, 32 34; Bank Stock, 191 192.

A meeting having been advertized to take place at Exeter hall, this day, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Pr)priety of_petitioning Parliament against "the Popish and in fidel scheme of National Education," at about twelve o'clock the large room was thrown open, and by about one o'clock it was little more than half filled. At that hour a gentleman rose and proposed that the Earl of Winchilsea do take the chair, and the Earl of Winchilsea proceeded to instal himself in the office of Chairman without the question having been pro pcsed to the Meeting for their approbation. On this, Mr. J. SAVAGE rose to propose that Mr. Cameron do take the Chair, as we understood, and hereupon a scene of confu sion and uproar ensiled which beggars description. Shouts of app . ause and disapprobation rent the air. The police were ordered to remove Mr. Savage from his station, but were driven back by his friends, who, having gained possession of a:portion of the platform were proceeding to place Mr. Came ron in the Chair, when the Earl of Winchilsea advanced to that gentleman and struck him a blow with his clenched fist. His Lordship, however, was then speedilY floored by those who surrounded Mr. Cameron. Th e police having obtained a reinforcement re-appeared on the plat', form, and proceeded to remove Mr. Cameron and hi; friends vi et armis; having accomplished which, the Earl of Winchilsea commenced his address to the meeting, and the business wes proceeding quietly and regularly at the time our reporter left. In the course of his address the Noble Earl, alluding to the in terruption which had taken place, stated, that it might have arisen from those persons fancying this was a public meeting , whereas it was a p r i va t e one. T he meeting was very scantily attended, and of those present at least two-thirds were ladies. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY' IRWIN V. LIIXMORE.—EItEACIF OF PROZ,IISE OF MARRIAGE' Mr. V. LEE stated this case to the hwy. The plaintiff was the daughter of a l arge merchant, who, along with his wife, -left her and three other sisters at an early age, with a compe tency. They resided at Barnstaple of which parish the de fendant was Vica r .. H e had formerly ' been Curate of the parish* and while filling that office he made the acquaintance of the plaintiff in a manner which would he developed in the evide ll°. For a long series of years he had cultivated her acquaintance , and made her a promise of marriage, which he had evaded upon one plea or another until 1837, when he was married to a nether. Such a shock had this proved to the plaintiff that she was now on a bed of sickness. This case was brought far theist jury done to her character, and in order to set it right with the world, as the conduct of the defendant would tend to throw a slur upon her, as the engag ement b etween the parties Rag well known, it having lasted for the lengthened perigd a 12 years. He did no t expect that he would have an opportunity of addressing them again, as his Learned Friend (11r. The siger)would be contented to trust to his eloquence to mislead the Jury. He trusted, however, they would pay attention to, and decide the case upon the facts he would prove before them in evidence. He then called Miss Grace Irwin, the sister of the plaintiff, examined by Mr; LEE. In 1825 was living with her sister. Her father and mother were dead. The defendant was curate of the parish of Barnstaple, in Devon. One Sunday in April, 1625, after leas , ing church they met the d- fendant, who gave her sister a letter, and begged her to read that. The sisters were about leavieig for France, but before they went away they received euather letter for her sister from Mr. Luxmore; it was read, It was one of the usual character, and begging for a lock of her hair as a keepsake, and begging her to be secret and true, and to seek the blessing of Him above upon their loves. Another, dated 27th June, 1827, was put in and read, in which he said he had not forgot, and never could forget her, but there were difficulties in the way. They returned from France in June, 18?8, and the defendant had many interviews with plaintiff. A Mr. Brizley came to Barnstable, and in consequence of some th;ng that took place, the defencani requested an interview, but he requested it should be a private one, and witness did not hear what took place. They lived in Barnstable up till 1836, and were constantly together, walking out sometimes as often as five times a day. In 1836, the sisters visited their brother in London, and in consequence of being told that Mr. Lux. more was engaged to another, they left town suddenly and re. turned to Barnstaple in February, 1836. Her sister wrote to him stating the report she had heard, and recalling to his me mory the relation in which they had stood towards one another for many years, saying "she thought her happiness safe, trust ing, as she did to a man of honour, and depending upon the word of a servant of God." That letter was returned in a note from the defendant to the effect " That Mr. Lux more was astonished that after the lapse of so miny years Miss Irwin should renew the subject, as he hail long ago ex pressed himself so decidedly upon it. He requests that he may receive no more communications upon the matter.' After that a clergyman named Dean called upon them on the part of the defendant. Some days after defendant requested an interview ; no answer was returned, but in a few days he walked into the room and asked for a glass of water, and begged to be allowed to sit down. Her sister said, "Are not twelve years of torture sufficient for you, that you come here to insult me? Do you not recollect the last time wewere alone that you solemnly called God to witness that if ever your sentiments changed you would write to me? Did you ever fulfil your promise ?" He said he never did ; ire could not snake up his mind to hurt her ieelinr, besides you were some years in London. Her sister seia she was only there for eight months. He said his memeey was very bad. "Did you tell Mr. Dean that you had sent back my let ter ?" " I did," said the defendant. Mr. Dean said tip& he had done very wrong. He asked if she had destroyed his first letter. Her sister sail she had, and that was an epitome of her whole conduct towards him. He said there was nothing im proper in plaintiff's letter, but he had sent it back, because hews mad for some days. He begged for forgiveness, if not for his sake for the sake of an aged father, on the brink of the grave — sisters and brothers who had never offended her—she refused. He said, if she wished to separate hint from that being to eh"' he was now engaged to, he said nothing on earth would do 551 he had told her all, and she was willing to run all risks. P; verty and disgrace, for he would incur the auger of all his friends. She upbraided him for his conduct as she had been deprived of her natural protector. He said be was most repentant. She said the fruits of it were selfishness , for he had come there merely for the purpose of securing bis own happiness, but he would one day wake from the dream, and remorse would follow. Ile said he felt it already; he wished he might die that night be had n ever l ove d a ny but her, but it was t oo late then; and lae begged her forgive ness, for the sake of the Church. He asked to see the , letters he had written to her, for he knew not how unguarded he had been ; but he observed witness was present. If sh e would not show them to him would she show th em to Admiral Dubourg. Sh e refused. lie then begged for a line of for giveness, and then he must take the consequences. She said she was relentless, and he then left the room. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—She and her sisters kept lodgings in Barnstaple. Her parents died in 1844. Her father was a large corn-merchant. After his death her sisters • kept a school for a short time, but gave it up when they came of age and found they could live upon their income. Defendant had been Vicar of Barnstaple since 1827. Her sister was now 44 or 45 years of age, but she was younger than Mr. Luxmore. She had heard that he was older. Her sister was 29 when de fendant first commenced his addresses. They were three years in Fiance, and defendant only wrote once; he promised to write oftener, but did not. They saw him on their return to Barnstaple. He called at their lodgings when he and her sister had fallen out; at other times they were always walking. It was admitted that the defendant was married on the 7th of June, 1838, and the writ issued on the 12th of June. Mr. Tesesioeit addressed] the Jury for the defendant, who was actuated by no feeling but that of respect towards the plaintiff, and, accordingly, he (Mr. Thesiger) was instructed to conduct his case in such a manner, as to throw not the slight est shade of suspicion upon her character. The plaintiff's Counsel said the action was not brought for the purpose o f oh tainir, damages ; w h at t h en was the object ? Was it to gra tify the feelings of disappointment which now actuated he r ' as knowing the pain it must give the defendant, and the here l l might do him was the object to frighten him into offering ag e. of money for preventing the case front coming before the Put"; It was a harsh and unfeeling course of conduct towardatbe Lt de fendant, yet he felt the utmost respect for her, and he thought the casenever would have been brought forward, had it not been for ill advice. After commenting upon the evidence he said, the case was one of the most extraordinary he bad ever-seen. The supposed courtship had been carried on in the must cool and calculating manner, and for an extraordinary time. debe First 9t of all, the plaintiff agrees that the whole matte . : s arrived at the a secret from defendant's family, she then ftaomliry,7,evneeritlintentions of the defen dant s a a l k g ffe a r s e difference, asan mature age of 29. Again, during the w ho h le a p in e g riod from 1828 that he never called dant ; and another extraordinary thing wa insisteder the upon plaintiff k knowing the brother,nor any .f her and as soon as that was made up, awaythe y could—five times a day—the same es . s at. -at their lodgings, except when they y g h o w w l ( aughter.) He had given her cause to think that if he t e t h's whole time. There was no engagement that was binding in law during the b hurt he went to her to beg her for ever did marry the would be 'the object, and fancying that giveness for any pp conduct n conduct might have her feelings He contended that the defendant was entitled caused her. but should the jury think otherwise they were to a verdict, net to pun ish but to give co mpensation. Now what bad she I,st. It was evident that she had not even a lingering gs might e af fection for the defendant, whatever respect he might have for her, he could have no affection—then she had lost the chance of a life of the utmost misery by a union without affection. She herself said, through her Counsel, that she did not come * for damages —she only ca me t o v i n dicate her eharacter. No one had ca3t the slightest imputation upon her, so that she went out of Court with the full and entire respect of the defendant. The Learned JUDGE read over . and commented on the evi dence anti the letters in the cause. He confessed that they had made an impression on his mind that there had been no positive engagement ; he thought there were strong expres sions of attachment, and upon a change of c i rc umstances it was likely th ere might be a connection formed. If the Jury thought there had been a positive promise of marriage they wo uld find for the plaintiff, but under all the circumstances he did not think it was a case for heavy damages. The Jury reti re d, an d a ft er b e i ng out f or a quar t er of an ' hour, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff--4001. damages. - EVENIVG EDITION. !ir e ! grei t h l • tlot app, , 'are 4 hr Nt,n' r espi r , ut t} P4iii 1 ,.0 'or N 11( Al,, ret , ea st t av N ti shit
