A vast number of Bills received the Royal Assent in the House of Lords, a very significant symptom of the syeedytermination of the Session. _ _ _ The Earl of MINT° gave notice that he would ask Lord ilannimGroN this evening whether it was the intention of the Government to send a naval force to the coast of Morocco to protect the interests of British subje..ts. The Marquis a CLANRICARDE gave notice for Monday of a motion relative to the war pending in the West of Africa. The Earl of RAnNogiafter adverting at consider able length to the obnoxilus and anti-English prac tice of opening letters at tl-h; Post-office, moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the system of open ing letters at the Post-office. The Duke of WELLINGTON fully admitted that the question had assumed a shape which required inquiry. After defending the practice to a cettaio extent, and exhibiting a number of bugbears to jus:ify it, he moved as an amendment a Secret Committ t e, to be composed of the following Members—Earl Soners, the Earl of Burlington, the Earl of Rosebery, Lord Colchester, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, anti the Bishop of London. We regret to find from a few remarks made by Lord NORMANDY, that the practice was not confined to the Tories, and that the power had been exercised in Ireland against suspected Ribbonmen. It is a detestable power, and whether exercised by Whigs or Tories, will be universally denounced. We have never heard one disinterested man say a word in support of such an un-English practice. Party feel ing is not mixed up in the question. Tories, Whigs, and Radicals, if we except the Government hacks, are unanimous in the opinion that the Post-office shOu!d be sacred. Extreme cases may occur. In times of danger, and more particularly when rebel lion prevails, the Habeas Corpus Act may be suspended, but that can be done only by Act of Parliament. Let the same rule apply- to opening _letters. N othing but the safety of the State can justify it, and the permission should not be given without 4specific Act- of Parliament, which would oa his guard. In that case no man or woman would write to a friend, but in the belief that their correspondence might be known to the Grahamites, and that every family communication might be read by the underlings of office. We agree, however, with that consistent and honest lawyer and statesman, Lord CAMPBELL, that in every instance it would be better to put an end to this obnoxious power. The Earl of RADNOR withdrew his motion. The Committee was appointed, and ordered to meet on Thursday. In the Commons, Mr. CHRISTIE presented a petition from CHARLES HENRY RUSSELL, the plaintiff in cer tain actions against noblemen and gentlemen for gam bling, and gave notice that he would this day move that the petitioner, according to his request, be heard at the bar of the House. Mr. SHELL gave notice of a motion for this day, relative to the French possessions in Africa. In answer to a question from Mr. WALLACE, Mr. GLADSTONE said it was the firm determination of the Government to go on with the Railways Bill. STEWART asked Sir ROBERT PEEL, whether the report was correct, that Government, after having carried the Bank Charter Bill, intended to interfere with the banking and currency of Scot land and Ireland. Sir ROBERT PEEL gave an answer which would lead to the belief that he is about to make an inroad upon the Scotch and Irish banks. Mr. HUME denounced the practice of opening letters at the Post-office, and said, if the House had appointed him on the Committee, he would have declined to attend it. He would have nothing to do with Secret Committees. The Bank Charter Bill, after some conversation and several attempts at amendments, was read a third time, and passed. Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill. An amendment was proposed by Mr. BORTHWICK, the discussion on which, or rather on the general principle of the Bill, occupied the House the re mainder of the night. On a division the amendment was negatived by a majority of 180. The Bill was then committed pro forma. The House immediately resumed, and adjourned at a Quarter past Two. The Irish Orangemen are again speaking out, in heir usual unceremonious style, on the subject of Sir Lt. PEEL and his Conservative Government. They are always in a ferment about this period of the year, when the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne comes round, which • they seem to consider as the most glorious military achievement recorded in the annals of history, and it requires the utmost efforts of their sober and mote provident leaders to keep them within the bounds of pro priety. At a public meeting of these effervescing Orangemen, which took place on Monday last at the Rotunda in Dublin, for the purpose of commemo rating their great battle, their incorrigible party pre judices, which would appear to be engrained into their very nature, and which can no more be rooted out of them than an 2Ethiop can be washed white, were manifested in the boldest manner passible, not only by a host of bigoted orations, in which each speaker, whether lay or clerical, vied with the other in virulence of sentiment and expression ; but by such flagrant party toasts as " Protestant Ascendancy' —which every one knows is synonymous with the ascendancy of despotism, corruption, and bigotry in their most shameless form—" The Orange Societies of Ireland," of which the illustrious ERNEST of Hanover is, or was, the head; the " Ten Bishops Restored," which means that the Established Chnreh in the sister-country should be rendered a still greater nuisance than it is at present ; and lastly," Scriptural education," which, however plausibly this toast may sound, and however inoffensive it may appear, implies neither more nor less than that the education of all classes of Irishmen should be vested exclusively in the hands of Protestant pastors and masters, in order that another " heavy blow and great discourage ment"—as Lord MELBOURNE would say—may be in flicted on the long suffering millions in Ireland who profess the Catholic faith. But if the toasts of these desperate partisans of a worn-out system were offen sive and intolerant in their character, the appeals made to their passions were, if possible, still worse ; and one of the speakers, after abusing ALoDEkci L'EEL, in terms borrowed from tne un savoury vocabulary of Billingsgate, went on to ob serve :—" the miserable and incompetent Government, now reigning over them, after having supported Popery in every other part of Europe, were now about to put in force what Mr. Wysis calls the Orange Procession Act. Oh, they little knew the force and current of Protestant feeling, if they considered that an Act of Parliament could extinguish the glorious principle of its life. There were a hundred thousand Protestants ready, if the tide of anarchy should con tinue to advance, and at length assail the last bulwarks of the Church an • i Constitution, to raise once more a Nassau, and prepare once more to cross the Boyne." - The meaning of this passage—that is to say, if any meaning can be extracted from it—is, that if Government shall decide on making any fur ther concessions to the cause of liberal govern ment in Ireland, they, the Irish Protestants, will assemble their thousands in arms, and resist all such concessions by open, bare-faced violence ? As this swaggering threat was an after-dinner one, its in spiration may easily be conjectured ; and indeed so outrageously absurd is it, so faithful a copy of the BOMBASTES FURIOSO style of bombast, that we should scarcely have considered it worthy even of a passing notice, had it not strictly illustrated the character of the Irish Orangemen. Un taught by experience, untamed by the humiliat ing reverses they have encountered since the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, these men are just as bigoted just as arbitrary and self opinionated as they were in the good old ELDON times, when the game was in their own hands—the ball at their feet—and Protestant Ascendancy was the order of the day in Ireland. While the world about them has been in progress, they alone have either stood stock-still, gazing about them, like STERNE'S scullion, " with a foolish fare of wonder," or else, when forced into reluctant motion by the irre sistible pressure of events, have taken two steps back ward for every one they have taken forward. Verily your Irish Orangeman is a queer creature. He has scarcely one sympathy or opinion in common with the age in which he lives, and which he can not be brought to comprehend. His mind dwells exclusively on the past, hating the present, and filled with distrust of the future. It is vain to tell him that it is his duty, not less than his interest, to concede something to the altered character of the age, and that other men, far more influential than himself, have done the same ; such reasoning is wholly lost on his obtuse, purblind faculties, and he exhibits, in consequence, the humiliating spectacle of bigotry without power, and perseverance • without hope. We entreat the public attention to a circular, which will be found in another column, addressed, by the Committee of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry, to the Members of the House of Commons, entreating their instant "attention to the consequences which must ensue from the Bank of England Charter Bill passing through Parliament in its present state." It is a well-timed appeal to that House—in which we fear, however, this fatal measure is destined to run its full course, perhaps this very evening, for which we see the third reading is fixed. But prier to the Bill being carried up to the House of Lords -11 tribunal from whose greater sagacity in the conduct and investigation of all measures immediately affect ing the monetary resources of the country, we look forward with SO:1113 confidence to extensive modifica tions, if not the ultimate rejection of the scheme, — it is well that Sir ROBERT PEEL should have been afforded this last .opportunity of reconsidering the enactments he is calling on the Legislature to pass. It will not be in his power - to plead hereafter that the erro neous principle of his Bill, and its inevitably disastrous operation, (if passed int O -a law), had not been suf ficiently or clearly brc , ught under his consideration. The " circular" before us is a most able papery exhibiting, in a few slicet paragraphs, not only the denrmstration of the errs irs of principle and the prac tical tendencies to which we allude ; but a rationale of the whole theory of *iv. currency system since 1819 ; of its inherent elemtw is of disorganisation and disturbance ever since ; and of their indefinite and ruinous aggravation under this Bill of 1844. This circular is signed by Mr. ' i rorriswooD.E, the Chair- man of the Society, and forms an honourable testi mony to the unremitting and intelligent exertions of that gentleman to induce Parliament to discharge a duty which it certainly has not hitherto performed-- in giving to the Bill in question a much more search. ing, impartial, and dispassionate consideration than it has found from the House of Commons, owing either to the timidity of that assembly in dealing with great administrative questions of this nature ; or to the overwhelming influence which Sir ROBERT has managed to enlist there in support of his scheme, but without reference to its merits—if any could be predicated of it ! Accounts have been received from Naples, dated the 22d ult., announcing the total defeat of the Italian emigrants, and the two brothers BANDEIRA, who l e ft Corfu on the 12th, and disembarked on the 16th on the coast of Calabria. On the 19th, they were at tacked by a party of the Royal troops at Belvedere, in the province of Cantajarra. The commander of th e municipal guard and a gensd'arme were killed. After this success the insurgents continued their march to St. Giovani-in-fiori, on the road to Cocenza. At the distance of two leagues from St. Giovani they fell in with another party of the Royalist troops, who at tacked them, and the result was that three of the in surgents were killed, two were wounded, and four teen were taken prisoners. The rest took to flight. Their object was to release the political prisoners de tained at Cocenza. The remarkable article in the Moniteur, advocating the right of the younger branches of the Royal Family to State pensions, has excited a painful sensation throughout France. It forms a subject of comment in every Paris. journal of Tuesday. Those of the Opposition attack the Government, or more properly speaking, the Sovereign, in terms much stronger than any they have ventured to use since the passing of the September Libel Laws; and even the Govern ment papers can say nothing in its defence. Never was a measure so universally execrated. The Globe, which is reckoned the organ of the Court, uses mere generalities, which might refer to almost any subject and the Journal des Dcbats all but condemns the mode in which the proposal has been made. "We will not deny," it says, " that the sudden appearance of this manifesto has somewhat surprised us, and that we have sought to discover its object with a certain degree of solicitude. It is not that we are without fixed opinions on the question itself—they still are what they always have been. The justice and neces sity of providing portions for the Princes of the Royal Family is, in our eyes, a legitimate conse quence, not only of this or that particular law, but also of the monarchical principle. If we have any regret, it is that the question of endowment was not brought before the Chambers when it would have come naturally into discussion of one of the most im portant laws the country was ever called upon to pass —we mean the Regency Bill. If the Government had no more to contend against than the permanent prejudices of M. L'IIERBETTS, or even the occasional scruples of M. DVPIN, we believe that it would be but little disturbed by the one, and not too long alarmed by the other. But there is something which the Government respects much more than the opinion of its adversaries—the opinion of its friends. Now we are not ignorant, and shall not attempt to conceal, that even in the ranks of the Conservative party the question of endowments for the Princes of the Royal Family meets with objections, which we regret, but which we respect, because they are sincert, The following, from the National, is evidently di. rected against Louis PHILIPPE himself:— There are some men who are so completely blinded by their love of gold, that they lose the most vulgar notions of prudence. The effect produced on Monday by the admi rable speech of M. L'Heroette, will no doubt appear to them to be a movement of the factious; and some words of good sense pronounced by M. Dupin, wiil be regarded as an in sane attack against monarchical institutions. The law of dotation will be incessantly brought forward, and we are glad of it. Assured as we are of public opinion, which will rally all good men against the stock-jobbers, we are not inclined to be afflicted at the imprudence committed in the 3foniteur, or elsewhere." The Quotidiene attacks the Ministry for.the article the ltionitenr, and, unlike the National, charges it with falsehood, in stating that tne KING had only received five millions under the head of indemnity. The amount he received, it asserts, exceeded sixteen millions. " Louis PHILIPPE asking for more," bids fair to damage the Ministry more than any event whi :h JIM occurred sinceiu. UrUlZOT became rnme aimister. We see nothing else of interest in the papers. On Tuesday the Three per Cents. closed at 81f. 90c., and the Fives at 122 f. 35c. THE BOURSE—Timm:IT, JULY 2.

A letter received at Lic;yd's, from their agent at Ramsey, Isle of Man, states that the sloop Alexander M'Neal, which sank in that bay in March last, has not been raised, as ex pected, and as she lies in the direct tract of vessels with her mast-head just above water, at low-water, advises masters of vessels bound to that port accordingly. WOOD PAVEMENT.—The resolution to lay down wood pavement in Fleet-street and St. Paul's Churchyard was rescinded on Tuesday, at a full meeting of the City Com missioners of Sewers. The wooden pavement which is being relaid in the Old Bailey has been worn only 21 months. PORTSOKEN WARD.—A rumour prevailed in this ward on Wednesday that Mr. Ale. Johnson had announced his intention of resigning the aldermanic gown so soon as an eligible successor should be found. An active canvass on the part of Mr. Sheriff Moon and Mr. David Salomons, respec tively, which has been going on several days, was actively renewed, and promises of support were received by both candidates. Public meetings have already been held in the ward, and others are in contemplation. If report may be credited, Mr. Salomons will retire from the contest, and leave Mr. sheriff Moon in sole possession of the field. 'SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publtr Opinion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The King and Queen of Naples landed at Malta on the 24th ult. The 'steamer, having their Majesties on board, reached the mouth of La Valletta Great Harbour at five, when Fort St. Angelo fired a Royal salute of 21 guns, which was followed by similar salutes from her Majesty's ship For midable (bearing Vice-Admiral Sir E. Owen's flag), the Ceylon (bearing Rear-Admiral Sir L. Curtis's flag), and the Aigle corvette. The Neapolitan steamer Ercole returned the compliment. Their Majesties enjoyed this spectacle from the bridge connecting the paddle-boxes. After viewing the dif ferent public establishments they left on the 26th for Lam pedosa and Parlermo. In the French Chamber of Peers on Monday, Count Mole spoke in strong terms against the vole of the Chamber of Deputies, which forbids Members of either Chamber to take part in railroad companies,' either .as contrac tors or administrators. The speech was received with great applause by the Chamber, and a feeling was expressed that Count Mold was the last to whom a charge of corruption could apply. The Carlsrlme Gazette contains a letter from Hamburgh, which states that the King of Prussia is expected to pay a visit 'in the middle of August to the Landgrave of Hesse- Homburg. It adds that his Majesty will proceed from thence to the banks of the Rhine, and stay for some weeks at the Castle of Stolzenfels, near Coblentz. The Patrie, of Monday evening, says--" A report was current at the Chamber of Deputies, this afternoon, that the Ministry has received accounts from Africa, according to which Marshal Bugeaud has entered the territory of Morocco and experienced more resistance than he had calculated on." The Gazette de France states that the Duke d'Escars, whose papers were seized a few days ago, underwent an in terrogatory before a Juge d'lnstruction on Saturday. By the last accounts from Switzerland we learn that the Extraordinary Diet had been sitting for three days, and that a very warm discussion was going on respecting the recent events in the Valais, but no vote of importance had been come to. We have since learnt that the Extraordinary Diet had closed, but the ordinary diet is now sitting. M. Cardero, who was formerly political chief at Badajoz, was arrested in Madrid on the 25th, and sent, without trial, to the Canary Islands. His arrest was effected by orders from Barcelona, and he is said to have been connected - with an ex tensive conspiracy in the provinces. The Journal du Havre states from Hayti, May 28, that the new Government was to be constituted on different bases from the last. A Federal Government, like that of the United States, was spoken of, and negotiations were to be opened at Port-au-Prince on the subject. The Ex-President Riviere, and his first Minister, Herard Dumesle, had received sentence of banishment, and were to proceed to Jamaica. LAW AND POLICE. In the Central Criminal Court Robert Edwards, a gentle manly looking young man, twenty-one years of age, sur rendered to take his trial, on a charge of cutting and wound ing John Roche, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. In another count he was charged with an assault only. The jury returned a verdict of an assault only, and he was sentenced to one months' imprisonment. William henry Hotham, a young man of respectable ap pearance, was indicted for stealing, on the sth of May last, a mare of the value of 251., the properry of John Davis. Mr. Davis was examined ; and on his cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson, it was elicited that a conversation had passed be tween them relative to payment, upon which the Learned Judge stopped the case, and directed a verdict of acquittal. Mary Wright, aged 18, and Hart Neale, 50, were indicted for stealing divers gold and silver coins from the person of Mr. Moore, and acquitted. They were again indicted and convicted of stealing a hat and some apparel, belonging to the same prosecutor. Upon inquiry it turned out that Neale keeps a house to which poor sailors are lured for the purpose of plundering them of their property. It was also proved that both the prisoners had been convicted of a similar offence. The Ceurt sentenced Neale to be transported for ten years , and Wright for seven years. The latter prisoner wept aloud on Leafing her sentence. At the Guildford sessions, Reuben Hunt, 35, was convicted of stealing a large quantity of brass, the property of Lord Hotham and Sir G. H. F. Berkley, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. __ Samuel Salter, a bootmakei, — llc , ing in Gloucester• street, Haggerstone, and Mary Salter, his wife, were committed to take their trial for neglecting and otherwise cruelly maltreat ing their child, Emma Salter, a little girl only six years old.

An extract from the Me teorological Register states that on the 23d of June the ther mometer stood at 91 deg., which is evidently incorrect, whether in the shade or the sun. . The appointment of Lord Haytesliury as Lord-Lieutenant appears to be a subject of very little general interest in Dublin. There are circumstances which detract from it. His Lordship is reputed to be not very rich, and Lady Heytes bury is said to be in ill health; and these fa c t s , coup l e d w ith his Lordship's advanced age, are unfavourable to the hope that the Court will be a very brilliant one, or his hospitalities and expenditure on the most liberal scale. The meetings of the Anti-Corn-Law League at Covent garden Theatre have been adjourned till next month. The premiums offered by the King of Hanover, for two glees—thirty guineas for the best, and twenty for the second best—were decided on Tuesday, at a meeting of the Catch Club, in favour of Mr. T.

THE HAGUE, JULY I.—His Majesty, by a resolution of the 16th of last month, has given the necessary authority to the War Department to call into active service, by the Ist September next, the militia of the levies of 1841 and 1842, who are at their respective homes on indefinite furloughs, to attend the autumnal exercise for one month. VENLOO, JUNE 30.—The inhabitants of Maestricht have no hopes of obtaining a railway to Aix-la-Chapelle, with a branch to Kerkrade. A company is ready to undertake the work at its own expense, if the Government will grant it the coal mine of Kerkrade for a certain number of years. If it is true, as is affirmed, that these coal mines cause more loss than gain to the State every year, why not give them up, and thus obtain an iron railway, which may be of great im portance to Maestricht and the province of Limburg. A deputation from the Chamber of Commerce of Antwerp has waited on the King, at Brussels, and presented to his Ma jesty, on the 30th of June, an address, requesting that on the project of law on the differential duties the following items may be suppressed :- 1. The regulation which prohibits ships from touching at Cowes. 2. That relative to the privilege granted to Holland to import seven million pounds of Java coffee. 3. That which raises the duty on coffee to 25 francs, instead of 15 francs, as asked by the Chamber of Commerce of Antwerp. In case these three paragraphs should be retained, the deputation expressed a wish that the project of law might not receive the royal sanction. The King seemed much, struck with the arguments pro duced, and promised that the address should be maturely considered by him, and then laid before the Council of Ministers. VISIT 01' HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT TO THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.--His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Col. Bouverie, visited these gardens yesterday, expressly to see the grand model of " London in the Olden Time," with which his Royal Highness was extremely delighted, and condescendingly remarked to the proprietor that it was perfect. After visiting the collection of animals his Royal Highness left, expressing his intention of a speedy renewal of his visit. The Bishop of Cashel and family, the Rev. J. West brecht and family, Major Bond, and Sir Joseph de Conray La ffar embarked yesterday morning on bo ar d the General gteam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho, for Antwerp. COURT or COMMON COUNClL.—Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. Mr. R. Taylor rose to state, that the subject of opening letters at the Post-office having been referred to a Committee of the House of Commons, there no longer existed any occasion for the interference of the Corporation, by pe tition, relative to a matter of such public importance. If that course had not been adopted, the question would certainly have been brought on in that Court.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. King was glad , that gentlemen had been so prudent as to drop the thought of petitioning on the subject. Mr. Ashurst hoped that the Committee would be, not a private, but a public Committee.---(Cries of . "Hear, hear,"and "No, no.") Mr. Wire was surprised to hear any one express a negative on a question so deeply affecting the commercial community. It was stated on Wedriesday, among parties interested in the new and important trade in Guano, that the chemical secret of Dalmas relates to a substitute for that powerful fertilizer, and that it has been purchased by a leading firm the guano line. LOCAL NEGLECT IN WALES.—(From a Cor respondent.)—Whenever anything is proposed having a practical bearing upon the good of the community in the principality of Wales, it is sure to be opposed be some of the local magistrates. The pretence ge nerally put forward is either a wish to serve the poor, or to save the county pu rse . Th e f act i ous opposition made to the honest working of the new poor-law - is an instance of the former, and the resist ance that has been offered in the counties of Carnarvon and Anglesey to the erection of a lunatic asylum for North Wales is an instance of the later. The expense has been made the ground of not appointing a keeper to a new lockrup house at Bangor, and the state of the old one is as follows :—lt is composed of two rooms on the ground floor, each eight feet long, six feet wide, and seven feet high ; in one corner of each there is a hole, without any covering, used as • privy by the prisoners, as well as by the man who keeps it, his wife, a grown up son, an adult lunatic, and two pauper children. For nearly twelve months pre ceding the sth of last April, the straw put for prisoners to lie on had not been changed. The situation of the building is at the side of a steep-hill ;in wet weather the water oozes through the walls, and makes the straw as wet as dung. During the last two months of dry weather no water ran through the sinks or privies, and the collection of human excrement produced stench unbearable. LAUGHABLE MISTAKE.—A carrier in this neigh bourhood recently had to convey a barrel of Roman ce ment to a gentleman, and a barrel of guano to a farmer, each of which he delivered to the wrong party. A plas terer commenced preparing the guano, which was given to him as Roman cement, and, after much difficulty, owing to the bad smell, he succeeded in plastering a few yards of the gentleman's house, but the stench becoming past his endurance, he called out to the gentleman, and said, " I am very sorry, but I must beg of you to get some other person to finish this job, for I never met with such Roman cement before. I am quite sick. and the smell will poison me if I go on ; besides (continued the plasterer), did you ever see Roman cement so ?" The gentleman said there must be some mistake, for it 'evidently was not cement, and accompanied the plasterer to the carrier's, where they found the farmer complain ing about the barrel of stuff that he had got. It was like sand, but when mixed with water, it turned into stone, and would flag his field instead of making the grass grow almost as quick as winking, as he was told this new ma nure would do. His man had mixed water with some of it and spread it out, and on returning a short time after wards, he found the stuff as hard as a flag, and came to him - in breathless haste, saying, " mestur, I nevvur seed sitch muck in aw my loife as yon new gunno muck, for I mixt sum on't whe whattur, un its torned into a flag ; hin hittle mak' Bras gro hittle mak' out gro." " Oh ! (ex claimed the plasterer), that must be the Roman cement, and I have been mixing up your guano instead of it." The mistake of the carrier was rectified, and the parties returned home.—Boltou Free Press. ------- - - - CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.—I have heard some very extraordinary cases of murder tried. I remember, in one where I was counsel, for a long time the evidence did not appear to touch the prisoner at all, and he looked about him with the most perfect unconcern, seeming to think himself quite safe. At last the surgeon was called, who stated deceased had been killed by a shot, a gun-shot, in the head, and he produced the matted hair and sniff cat from and taken out of the wound. It was all hardened with blood. A basin of warm water was brought into court, aud, as the blood was gradually softened, a piece of printed paper ap peared—the wadding of the gun, which proved to be half of a ballad. The other half had been found in the man's pocket when he was taken. lie was hanged.— Lord Eldon's Note Book, quoted in. the Quarterly. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. THE LATE DERBY.

The subscription is to be confined to twenty-five pounds, and from the number of nam es a l rea d y d own, at Messrs.

The Lord 'Mayor and :the Lady Mayoress gave a most splendid ball and supper at the Mansion-house on Wednesday night. There were upwards of three hun dred and fifty guests. They were received in the grand suite of apartments on the same floor with the Egyptian Hall, which underwent, at the commencement of the present Mayoralty, so coreplete a re-decoration, and which was on this occasion fitted up, for the first time during several years, as a ball-room. A Toulon letter, the 20th inst., says :—The Prince de Joinville arrived this morning, at seven o'clock. He alighted at the Porte de France, where the authorities were in attendance to receive him, the guns of the ramparts firing a salute. He was escorted to the Prefecture, the 3d Regiment of Marines lining the way. Having received the civil and military authorities, and taken his breakfast, the Royal Rear-Admiral, attended by a numerous staff, headed by Rear-Admiiral Turpin, the Prefect ad interim, went to the naval arsenal, and was again saluted with twenty-one guns from the flag-ship, which was dressed in all her colours. The Prince embarked in the packet Rubis, and went on board the Suffren, which carries his flag. On his being seen afloat, the salvos were repeated from all the ships in the ror.dstead. They were also dressed, and their yards manned, the sailors hailing him with acclamations of " Vine le At one o'clock all the ships took in their colours, and the flag of his Royal Highness was substituted on board the Suffren for the royal standard. The wind is favourable, and, if it continues so, the squadron will sail to-morrow, and in a few days will be off the coast of Morocco. WIIITE SPARROWS.—About three weeks ago a lad residing at Upway, Dorset, took a sparrow'snest, which con tained live young ones, four of them perfectly white, the fifth of the natural colour ; they were secured in a cage, and so placed that they could be fed by the parent birds, both of which were constant in daily attendance, and evinced the greatest anxiety and impatience until they were permitted to administer food to their young. The four white ones have red eyes, the other the natural colour; both the parent birds are brown. The five, in the same cage, are in the possession of Mr. R. Rolls, ornithologist, Weymouth. CONVICTIONS, &C., Or GAMBLERS.... —SOM E curious evidence is just printed in the Report of the House of Lords, given before the Committee appointed " to inquire into the laws respecting gaming." • Thus, one of the police superin tendents delivered the following summary of what he had done:—" Out of the number of 95, 85 were convicted. The number discharged without fines was seven. The amount of cash I seized in the different banks where I have gone was 591.25. 2d.. The amount of fines inflicted by the Magistrates was 949/., and the amount paid was 704/. The amount not paid was 245/., and those men served their time in prison. Two appealed against the Magistrate's conviction, which was confirmed by Mr. Sergeant Adams, at Clerkenwell. They served their time in prison. The total amount of cash and fines paid to the receiver of the metropolitan police, is 763/. 2s. 2d. The number of houses broken into is eight." The following is an instance of the contrivances the officers resort to, in order to obtain admission to the gambling-houses. Mr. Superintendent Baker said—" It was by a plan of my own which was adopted in getting the doors open so readily as we did. A supposed twopenny postman, with a band upon his hat, and a cockade, gave a knock at the door and the porter came to answer the door. The porter who came to answer the door at that moment made his escape, fortu nately, but I apprehended twenty-eight. The wife of the porter threw herself, with a baby, between my constable and the man he had got hold of, and if he had not let go some thing serious would have happened to the child or the woman ; but her screams raised an alarm which caused a number of the persons in the gaming -room to rush up stairs. Some were detected upon the roof, and sonic going into Lei ester-square." EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—W C learn from the Ceylon Overland Observer, that a singular accident oc curred on board the Bentinck steamer, on the 6th February last, while on her voyage from Aden to Galle, the particulars of which we have not seen mentioned in any of the English papers. It appears that the builders of the Bentinck placed in her bottom, some distance below the water line, a large brass sea-cock, through which, when requisite, a stream of sea -water could be admitted; which, mixing with the bilge water and pumped out by the engine pump, would moisten and cleanse the vessel. This operation had several thrice been performed with success during the voyage from Suez. On the morning of the 6th of February a slight smell of bilge being perceived, the sea-cock was turned, and the un pleasant odour soon abated; upon which the carpenter was sent down to stop the influx of the water. The method of closing the pipe was by turning a screw which worked in a brass valve. Something having got displaced, the screw moved without turning the valve, and all the efforts of the carpenter to check the flow of the sea into the vessel were unavailing. The water gained in spite of the pumps, and soon completely flooded the lower parts of the vessel, damag ing some portions of her cargo. Endeavours were made to stop the flow of water by means of sheets and blankets, but without effect ; and at length, when the engines were stopped, the passengers became acquainted with the state of affairs, and much alarm prevailed. At length, after much labour, the water having in the meantime risen several feet, the carpenters and others contrived to force the end of a plank over the top of the valve, forcing it down with a lever. By this the influx of water was temporarily stayed. Bolts and nuts were subsequently prepared, and the valve was securely stopped. There were 250 persons on board the Bentinck when this accident occurred. The impracticability of acting on the valve was discovered at eight o'clock in the morning, and it was not till three in the afternoon that the vessel was reported to be water-tight.—Licapool Albion, CLAIRVOYANCE.-MR. ALEXIS. TO THE EDITOR OE THE TIMES. Sir,—Since the account of the phenomena of clair voyance, exhibited by Mr. Alexis, appeared in your co lumns of last week, another private party have witnessed a similar exhibition at the house .of Dr. Elliotson, at which I had the honour of being present, and the fol lowing plain statement of what I then saw will, I think, be interesting to your readers. I must pre mise that I had never before seen any experiments what ever in animal magnetism, &c., that I was totally unac quainted with Dr. Elliotson, Mr. Marcillet, and Mr. Alexis, and that I went, note-book in hand, prepared to watch and observe, as accurately as possible, and that this account is drawn up from the notes I then made. Alexis having seated himself in a large easy chair, Mr. Marcillet stood in front of him, and after fixing his eyes upon him for about four minutes, the magnetic sleep was produced. During this operation there were convul sive motions of the limbs and muscles of the face, a nd every now and then Al ex i s t urne d hi s eyes towards' the operator, as it seemed to me, with an expression of pain, and almost entreaty to desist. The con vulsive motions subsided after a few passes by the operator, and then the phenomena of catalepsy were shown. His hands were extended, and became quite rigid, and were again relaxed by Mr. Marcillet p a ssing his hand once or twice over them. His legs were then stretched out, and, to test their rigidity, a gentleman, weighing at least 14 stone, stood upright upon them, Alexis' body being kept balanced by two gentlemen pressing on his shoulders. Alexis is by no means strong in appearance ; but I apprehend the strongest man would find the above feat difficult. It was then proposed to bandage his eyes. A quantity of cotton wool was placed over them, and kept down by three handkerchiefs, one encircling the head, the other two placed diagonally. The gentleman—a visitor, like myself—who undertook the tying, did not seem to do it to Alexis' satisfaction, for he said " Serrez fort, serres fort" (tie it tight), and, still being dissatisfied, he seized the ends of the handkerchief, and tied them himself. The visitors were then asked t 3 examine the handker• chiefs, and each person who did so was satisfied that vision was impossible. A pack of cards was then brought, which, it should he remarked, had glazed and ornamented backs, so that it would have been more than ordinarily difficult to see through them, even with s strong light behind. A visitor came forward to play, and Alexis seated himself at the table which was in the middle of the room, so that there was a cross light. He seized the cards, a full pack, in a quick, hurried manner, and sorted them for =rte. He did this with great rapidity , and made but one mistake. Several games were played. during which he frequently told his adversary what cards he had in his hand, as on one occasion that he had di:ft tens, on another that he had four trumps ,• and again he called for the cards seriatim which his adver sary was to play. Once or twice he made mistakes, as saying the nine of hearts instead of the seven, but in the great majority of instances was right. Another person then took the cards, and the same wonders were repeated• lie then moved away from the table, and played at A distance of about four yard s f r o m hi s adversary, hut 1 1 0 still toll the cards as before, and played his own fre' qi:ently without looking at their faces. During the whole of this time Mr. Marcillet stood at some little distance , and from time to time repeated the passes. 1)r. El' liotson took no part in the proceedings. Alexis Ws° then asked to read, and a volume of " Le Moyen, Aye, Pittoresque" was placed before hi m . Th e woo l an bandages were still unmoved, but he read off from the page wherever he was told by any of the visitors, a nd bY myself amongst the rest. On one occasion he eon' tinned to do so, although two hands were placed he' five his face and the type. He seemed, however , to find this somewhat more difficult. He w as v eil animated, and talked rapidly as he turned over the pages, as if pleased with his own ex ploit Whilst doing this, and just as he had said, in answer to a question, that the picture was a cathedral, I inter, rupted him hastily with, " Mais queue cathedrale He replied, " C'est une bonne question," and, placing hi ° hand upon the letter-press, instantly said, " Notre Dame de Chalon," which was quite correct. He also curately described some figures in armour. H e then, of his own accord, offered to read a line five pages off, but in this he failed. A volume of Bossue t was then brought from Dr. Elliotson's library, no visit having brought one. He took my hand and asked re e to show him what to read, and read several times cor rectly. In one instance he read the two following lines:-"" "C'est encore pour eux un grand embarras de voir ce (le) prophete false eller le temps du Christ (Jesus). ] He however insisted that it was " le " and not " ce," s 1 , 1 , read " Jesus Christ " in s t ea d o f " Ch r i s t " on l y . this part of the experiments no great stress can be 1 0 as after the Bossuet was brought h e com pl a i ne d o f the !., great heat and threw off the handk erc hi e f s , so t h a t 11 " eyes were only closed as in sleep. He then said, Wt . rating about 150 pages of the volume, and holding thee: firmly together, that he would read some words on which t ever side and whatever part of th e p age I pl ease d, b O / would not undertake to say how far off the words were.; then pointed out the side and part of the page that I wishe'l and he gave the words " Tite-Live " and " R om ultis; t saying that each commenced a paragraph. This was n ° done im me di a t e l y , b ut t h e leaves were not open ed , at all. I ex am i ne d t h e b oo k , and found about 80 pag" on the words " Tit e -Li v e," an d a b out 150 the word " 110. mules," each in the place and position required by 01 : and each commencing a paragraph. He th ey seated himself in the large chair once 11 1 ° I. and a stranger (I believe Dr. Castle, „,° Milan) sat down by him, and put himself "en M t port" with him. I did not hear the conversation, O s Dr. Castle afterwards stated to those present, tr j , Alexis had described to him accurately how he ( if Castle) had passed the preceding night, and the nst.,„ ° „ s and seat of the pain that he had suffered from. P" further and more satisfactory proofs of clairvoyance given. Alexis read a word (content) that was enclosed is a card-board box, and presented to him for that P. pose by a visitor. He m a d e ou t th e I ,e" ters "on" first, and th e o th ers a f ter some difficulty in a case of this ki n d, ever y one natura ll y distills every experiment not m a d e by hi mse lf.
