The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea. To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources, which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy of their action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first rank among the mineral waters of Germany. The springs of Homburg are five in number. They hays been analysed by the celebrated Professor Licbig. Notwithstanding the differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principivs re main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad vantage of applying to each individual case the peculiar water best adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course and progress of the complaint. The internal use of these waters is of constant effica y, above all when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage. The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of the disordered state of the stomach and other intestines, by giving a peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised In enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive functions, most happy results are derived from them. During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly improved. 4. new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite watering places. . The f;rests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are piercel with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus. The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a mag nificent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the excel lence of its distribution, and the richness of its decorations—surpasses any building hitherto erected at any point on the beaks of the Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms for the games of Trento et Quarante, and for Roulette tables ; a Cabinet for reading, in which are most of the German, French, English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a Divan for smoking, opening on to a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and a grand dining-room with a table-d'hdte, served A la Francais., twice a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock. The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in the beautiful Gardens of the Casino; and in the evening in the grand Ball-room. Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other without interruption. The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering place as delightful as possible to its visitors, and to this end have rented about 50,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in gams of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees Chasse" at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg, Is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the privilege of remaining open all the year, and the continuation of is tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so ciety from every quarter of Europe. The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne, Manta and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mai coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hour. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last Appearance but Two of Mdlle. Taglioni. (BY DESIRE.)

WATER AT lA)NDON.TIRItiGE THIS DAY. 'orning .. 30 minutes after 9 Evening 26 minutes attar 10. THE S LONDON, TUESD). EVENING, taining judgments or orders in respect of debts not ex ceeding 201. each, may summon such debtor before a Commissioner of Bankrupts or Court of Requests." Clauses A, B, C, provide how the order of such Court shall be executed; that the imprisonment of the debtor may cease on payment of the debt, and that certain Courts shall have the like power on original suits. By subsequent clauses it is enacted that where several Courts exist in the same town the business is not to be transferred from one to the other; that application to the Commissioner of Bankrupts or Court of Requests need not be made by counsel or attorney; that affidavits in bankruptcy or insolvency may be made and sworn before keepers of prisons. Under clauses D, E, and F, the jurisdiction of such Courts may be altered ; judges of inferior Courts may be removed for misconduct or incapacity ; that in the absence of any sufficient number of Com missioners to hold a Court, according to the con stitution of such Court before the passing of this Act, a single Commissioner being present shall be competent to proceed and in all respects to hear and determine causer as judge, &c., or a deputy may be appoint( d ; execution of process in Westminster and Southwark is duly secured; power given to judge of Court to frame a table of fees, but tees under existing Acts are not hereby affected; poundage to be demanded from suitors upon sums claimed; lists of unclaimed moneys of suitors to be made out, and all such motleys paid into court and unclaimed for six years to go into the court fund; power reserved to remove suits exceeding 10/. into superior courts, and power given to execute warrants and levy executions out of the jurisdiction of such courts. This Act to apply only to England. Such is the marginal outline, extracted from the Bill itself, of the anomalous and excessive powers creae d under it. If the House of Commons could possibly be induced to stultify their past proceedings on the law of debt (from those witching the abolition of arrest or means process down to the act abolishing arrest for debt, under 201., exclusive of costs, under certain limitations); it would, by affirming the present Bill, create the must unheard-of powers in petty courts, which have hitherto exercised the limited jurisdiction they already possess, by no means to the satis faction of the public, and with general indecorum; and frequently in violation of all law and equity (we mean ".Courts of Requests") ; but it would give ii Par liamentary sanction to such enormities as genera,l war rants to be issued under the authority of tribunals, fur which it is impossible not to anticipate the least possible degree ofrespect or confidence on the part of the public ; we speak of those which the Bid proposes to reieterce or to create. Now, with regard to the parties against whom this Bill is directed :--" Any person indebted to any other in any sum not exceeding 201., besides costs of suit by virtue of judgment obtained, or of any order for the pay ment thereof, or of tiny costs in any court." It is obvi ous that now-a-days, when judgments can be so easily "snapped up," as it is called, the scope of this ruele , ure might just as reasonably have been extoncled to all :,imple contract debtors as to debtors under judgments. And this being so, we are struck with the folly of pulling down the Fleet Debtors' Prison, which has been actually accomplished, and the similar project or contemplation of removing the debtors' wing of Horsemonger Gaol. Pass this Bill and you must build a new debtor's prison, in at least one hundred different districts of England ; for to " England" only, by the last line and proviso of the Bill, is the precious gift of its enactments to be ex clusively appropriated. " Happy lard ! Happy land ! " But that other principle of limitation which directs the enactments before us, against debtors under judgments not exceeding 201. each, without costs, supplies the most striking illustration of its cruelty. Why should the Lords levy war on this class of small debts, in so in vidious and special a manner ? The presumption surely is, that where a debtor, in a sum not exceeding 201., allows proceeding to go till a judgment is sued out against him, he really cannot pay his creditor, for other wise he would never subject himself to the accumulated costs incurred by the creditor's going on to judgment. The debtor may be able, in a little time, to scrape to gether the 201., but the same causes which have made him leave that amount undischarged, will, in nine cases out of ten, leave it utterly out of his power to defray the charge of the proceedings on which the judgment Is granted. But this Bill is, from beginning to end, an Attorney's Bill. It is prepared under a total in difference to all considerations of humanity, or even of the • comraon motives of human con duct. It is to create new sources of litigation, to multiply fees, to multiply Courts, to multiply office patronage, by strengthening the hands of judgment cre ditors. It seems to be devised with a view to neutralise opposition by the origination of such new powers and places as we allude to. By clause 1 the debtor shall be " interrogated before such Commissioner or Court by the creditor summoning him, touching the manner and time of his contracting his debt, the means or prospect of payment he then had, the property or means of payment he still hath or may have," &c. If this proviso be not duly modified and guarded, the debtor is to be subjected to the vexatious and intolerable browbeating of any irritable creditor, to an extent not Permitted to counsel on the examination of a criminal arraigned for felony. Is such a process calculated to refresh the debtor's memory—to prompt his candour ? or to put him upon exercising his ingenuity and decep tion, to withhold all the information he can from a party who proceeds by such means to extort it from him ? It will be evidence of much the same value as that given by a culprit under torture. The examination by counsel or by Court, on the application and under the suggestion of creditors,would not be liable to these grave objections. But if the debtor "appears to have the means of paying the debt by instalments, and shall not pay the uitne at such times as the commissioner or court shall have ordered," he shall " be committed for any term not exceeding forty days to the common gaol," &c, This is law that attaches to the suspicion of dishonesty a penalty far more severe than tollows on conviction for very heinous crimes. For a debt of forty-cue shillings, without costs, the " Learnt d Gentlemen" who play at judges in courts of request in the borough of Southwark, in the cities and liberties of London and Westminster, or under this Bill are to be empowered to do so in any other locality "limited to England," are to have the power of condemning any of the QUEEN'S subjects brought under their petty juris diction to "fo, ay days' imprisonment," if only they shell " appear" to have the means of paying down the debt and fail therein. The mere question of construction— the power to judge of the intention—is one with which a judge of the superior courts would not trust himself. He would leave it to a jury to determine that which this Attorney's Bill unhesitatingly ascribes to a commis sioner of requests an intuitive faculty of discerning. Clause 10 creates a " power to execute warrants, and levy executions out of jurisdiction :" that is, an officer charged with a warrant of execution against the goods or chattels of a defendant who shall be out of the juris diction of the court granting that warrant, may call on a justice of the peace in another jurisdiction, where the officer declares upon oath, " that the person or goods and chattels of such defendant are believed to he," to en dorse his warrant, which he is therefore empowered to execute in any part of such other jurisdiction. A power is thus originated, as large and as loose, surely, as that of the most objectionable general warrants. The patronage-creating features of the Bill are not a whit less objectionable. The sole security devised for the poor creditor is, that he is to have the satisfaction of knowing that the court issuing the warrant or order is presided over, whether it be one of bankruptcy or re quests, by " a judge, who shall be either a barrister at law, special pleader, or an attorney, of not less than ten years' standing, of one of her Majesty's Courts at Westminster." A wonderful condition, no doubt ; but the next claim, after empowering every "bailiff and mes senger and officer of the High Bailiff of Southwaik or Westminster, holding such order," &c., to take the body of such debtor, declare. that "no protection, or certificete, or interim order, issuing out of any Court of Bank ruptcy, or for the .relief of insolvent' debtors"—" shall be available to any debtor imprisoned under inch order." So that the laW jurisdictions called into exist ence, like mushrooms in an August morning, by this Bill are to be superior courts to the last created tribunals in bankruptcy I The other clausei of the Bill contain the usual powers of this class of modern statutes for building new courts, creating new offices, levying new fines to defray in part the expenses thereof, See., &c. In short, the Bill is one of those lawyer-jobbing affairs that are the disgracti of modern legislation, from the costly and excessive patronage they create, with this Superadded distinction in the preeeet instance, that it involves great violations Of th e p r i nc i p l es o f h uman ity an d justice, as of the liberty of the subject, by confounding the princi ples of civil with those of criminal compensation, in the excessive and arbitrary character of its penalties. Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived. The insurrection in Catalonia may be considered as termi- nated. The Castellano and the Posdata both affirm that M. Cis raw 7 AYENSA, the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, had re ceived positive orders from his Government to demand his passports, should he see no hope of obtaining the uncondi tional acknowledgment of ISABELLA 11. from the Holy See. The Tiempo announces that the Ministers were to set out that very day for Saragossa. It was reported in Madrid that the object of this journey was to endeavour to induce h'r MAJESTY to forego her visit to the Basque provinces, and that in case her MAJESTY nould persist in her determina tion, the Ministers would trader their resignations. According to the Espunc the new system of taxation had met with a vigorous oppoiiion in Catalonia, Gallicia, Castile, and Andalusia. We have received the s aris papers of Sunday. The death of N. LEL still continues to be the subject of comment in all these jounals. The c'onstitutionnel says— " The authorities of Lucrne have caused a past martens exa mination of the body to tu made by two physicians of their own appointment. According s their report, which, however, is as yet but imperfectly known. the ball which caused his death en tered in a nearly horizonta direction, and, after having shattered the heart, passed out nearthe left shoulder. The opinion of the physicians is, that from thedirection of the wound, the crime must have been committed by lose other hand than that of the deceased. The judicial inquiries prow that all the coors and windows of the house were chased, but no mention is made of any arms having been found in the cbambe: of the deceased, although the inhabit. ants of the house affirm thit they saw a pistol lying on the ground close to the bed. This afair is still involved in obscurity, which threatens to increase railer than to diminish, as the canton of Lucerne has neglected tie only means of clearing up doubts in the minds of the populaton of Switzerland, by calling in to assist at the inquiry and at the port smortem examination persons un. connected with the cantos." The Jesuits' organ, the Gazette of Lucerne, is perfectly rabid in its cries for veigeance. We give one or two ex amples of the style of this religious firebrand :—" Who is not for us is against us The enemies of the Church and of the tountry shall learn that the blood of our fathers must be visited on their heads." After insinu ating that certain other Jesuit chiefs are in danger, it adds : —" A t least one hunered heads of these execrable seides (the Radicals), who dshonour Switzerland, shall pay for their sacred lives. The people will purge our soil of these cannibals." After elevating M. LEu to the dignity of a martyr, the Gazette de Lucerne goes on to state that " he is a companion of the blessed NICHOLAS, that other patron of Switzerland." The Journal des Debate, in an admirable article, rebukes the infernal spirit. by which it would appear that the ultras of both parties in Switzerland are actuated, and it calls upon all sensible men in that country to interfere to save their native land from the bigots on the one hand, and from the revolu tionists on the other. It appears from the Arno Zurich Gazette, that the funeral of 111. Lat, which took place on the 22d, at Hochford, was attended by about 1,000 persons. It is stated in the Gazette de Hite of the 24th that the amassin of. M. LEU had been apprehended, but had escaped. His name is REDLINGEE. He was a labourer in the employ of the deceased, of whom he had borrowed money, the repayitea of which 31. LEI; had recently de manded. The rdarderer said that he had used an old musket to fire the fatal shot. : The - total - value of the commerce of France during the year 1844, as appears by a return published in the Jloniteur, was 2.347,000,000 of francs, beingtwo-thirds of that of Engl.ind, double that of the United States, and double that of the German Customs Union. The statue of the Duke of ORLEANS was erected in the Court of the Louvre on Saturday. Letters from Tunis of the 11th, published in tha Courier de Marseide, contain no .dlu•,ion to the report published in the Phure des Pyrenees of the commencement of hostilities be tween Tunis and Tripoli.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BETRCHILL.) LIPSCOMBIR V. SHEARSBY. The plaintiff is a corn-dealer, in Pratt-terrace. St. Pancras, and the defendant is an omnibus proprietor. The action was brought to rec.ver the sum of 121. 17s. 6d. for corn supplied to the defendant. It appeared by the evidence that there had been extensive dealing. between the parties, and the present dispute arose in consequence of a doubt as to the delivery of two or three quan tities of corn charged for. The evidence was very vague. The plaintiff's witnesses said that five quarters of corn were delivered every ten or twelve days to defendant's horsekeeper, and it was farther proved, that on defendant being applied to for the amount, he went through the account, and paid something on account. In cross-examination it was admitted that the ten or twelve days might, on two or three occasions, have been three weeks. The corn was sometimes delivered to defendant himself, and when nei!her him nor the horsekeeper were present, it was de livered to a boy. Mr. Fitz contended that the plaintiff was bound to give clear evidence of the delivery of goods, as it was impossible for the defendant to prove a negative. He urged that there was a great discrepancy as to time, and to whom the corn was deli vered. In March last there were no less than four deliveries charged for. It was these two or three extra items which formed the ground of eomplaint. The UNDER- SHERIFF said that, as as abstract principle, it must be admitted that the defendant could not prune a negative ; but he could have called the horsekeeper to prone that he had received so much and no more. In all these matters of account it was difficult to prove matters satisfactorily, unless the parties themselves were examined. It was certainly the bounden duty of the plaintiff to submit clear evidence, and the question here was, whether that given, standing as it did uncontradicted, was sufficient to convince the jury of the delivery of the whole of the goods. It would be seen that although there were four items in March, there were only two in February, which would give about ten days interval. The jury consulted ten minutes, and then gave a verdict for the full amount. The other cases were not of the slightest public interest. LONDON AND BLACK WALL RAIL- WAY.-(THIS DAY.) A special meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of the Lon. don and Black Wall Railway Company was held this day at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate.street, for the purpose, as the advertise ment stated, " of taking into consideration the report of the Direc. tors on the proposed extension of the line to Epping." There was a very numerous and respectable attendance of Shareholders. Mr. Daniels, Chairman of the Board of Directors, took the chair, and the Secretary read the advertisement calling the meeting, and also the report of the Directors, recommending the course the Shareholders ought ,to pursue. Wbeis_the report had been read, The CiIAIRUAN then briefly addressed the meeting. He con gratulated the Shareholders upon the prosperous position of their affairs. He had no doubt but that their present terminus would bring to it all the traffic of the West-end, and that it would render unnecessary a station at Farringdon.street, a project for the formation of which a Bill had been before a Committee this session, but had been deferred for another session. The Blackwell terminus had many ad vantages, amongst which were, that it formed not only the north ern terminus for the traffic of the City, but would also be a direct means of communication with the west-end, when the project now and that he conceived w ted aving disposed of this in a r a ogre m ss at s t h er oul o d f have raat been importance.comple H point, he next called the attention of the meeting to the sub. ject then under consideration, namely, that of taking up the junction from Stepney to Old Ford. The Directors had taken a great responsibility upon themselves in recommending the adop tion of this plan, but they felt assured the Shareholders would concur with them when they considered the importance of the pro ject. He concluded by proposing a resolution embodying the above proposition. Dr. seconded the adop t i on of the resolution, and in so expressed his admiratio n of the unanimity of feel ing that he was so fortunate as to have wit nesse d i n t h e Board o f r. M.P., Directors in all their proceedings. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and Directors for the care they had taken of the interests of the Shareholders, and the meeting then separated.

HUNT AND ROSIIL IL — YEAterday morning his Majesty the King of Holland paid a visit to the establishment of Me.ers. Hunt and ltoskills, the well-known goldsmiths and jewellers, of Bond.street, in order to inspect their magnificent stock. His Majesty, who was attended by two of his suite, arrived shortly after twelve o'clock, and was received by Mr. Hunt and Mr. Hancock, partners in the firm. On entering the shop his Majesty cordially shook hands with Mr. Hancock, at the same time saying, with great alfibility, " You see, Mr. Hancock, lam here, according to promise." He then proceeded round the rooms and expressed his high admiration of all that he sa w. One ex not fail to attr act his attention was a small silver statue of himselt.

SUNDERLAND ELECTIoN.—Mr. Hudson was to make his public entry on Monday. Mr. Bright, M.P., assisted Colonel Thompson in his canvass on Saturday, and lectured in the evening at the Atheneum. Mr. Cobden, M.P., arrived in Sun derland on Saturday, and was to lecture on Monday evening. Both parties seem sanguine, and the contest will be one of the severest ever know.. PEDesrattrusm.—On Monday morning a foot-race came MT in Hyde-park, which attracted a large muster of spec tators.

At the start the former took the lead, which he rnaint-iined for 200 yards, when his opponent same up, and, after 3 struggle, passed him, and ran in the winner by five yards.

Lord PORT3IAN brought up the report on the South Wales Railway Bill. The consideration of the report on the l)ubliu and Galway Railway Bill was postponed until to-morrow (this (ay). The Earl of lIARDWICLE moved that the report on the Portsmouth (Atmospheric) Direct Railway Bill be received. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the recommittal of the Bill, on the ground that the Committee had refused to hear the South-Western Company in opposition to the Bill. Lord REDESDALE suggested that the report and evi dence should be printed, and the discussion should be postponed until Monday. The Earl of HARDWICKE defended the conduct of the Committte. The Duke of RICHMOND and the Marquis of CLANRI cA RDE considered that it would be useless to print the evidence, as the Committee bad refused to listen to evi dence which was material. Lord CAMPBELL thought the better course would be for the Committee to re-assemble and hear the evidence. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY thought the Committee ought to have beard the evidence. After some further discussion, The Duke of RICHMOND withdrew his motion for the recommittal of the Bill, and moved that the evidence and report be printed, and the subject be considered on Friday next, which motion was agreed to. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the standing order declaring it to be a breach of privilege to publish the lives of Peers without the consent of their heirs and executors was rescinded. The House then went into Committee on the Com mons Inclosure Bill, the several clauses of which were agreed to after some discussion. The Scotch Poor- law Bill also passed through Com mittee, and several other Bills having been advanced a stage, the House adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve. The Removal of Paupers Bill, and the Court a Chancery Bill were repo' ted. The Libel Act Amend. merit Bill was read a third time and passed. • The House then went into Committee on the Games and Wagers Bill. Mr. C. BERKELEY objected to clause 17, which legalized subscription to horse-races, as a piece of one sided legislation. On a division, however, the clause was carried by a majority of 34 ; the numbers being, for the clause 37, against it 3. The Church Buildings Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed ; after which the House ad journed to five o'clock. On the re-assembling of the House, Sir J. GnAmsx, at the suggestion of Mr. H. BERKELEY, postponed the third reading of the Small Debts Bill until to-morrow (this day) at twelve. Sir R. PEEL announced that he should to-morrow move that the House do sit every day at twelve o'clock, and continue sitting throughout the evening. Mr. EWART then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice, namely :-1. That a statement be made, on the part of the Government, on the condition and prospect of such educational establishments as are supported wholly or partially by a vote of this House. 2. That it is expedient that the formation of public li braries, freely open to the public, be encouraged. 3. That it is expedient that schools for the training of masters be more extensively promoted. 4. That it is expedient that appointments to the subordinate offices of Government be made (as far as possible) by examination of the merits of the candidates for such offices. Mr. W YSE seconded the motion. Sir R. PEEL, as a proof of the solicitude of the Govern ment on the subject of education, would state that 150,0001. had this year been voted for educational pur poses, and that if necessary next year their might not be any great objection to increase the grant. He did not wish to hold out public employment as a reward, for mere scholastic attainment was, he thought, no criterien of fit ness for business. After a few words from Mr. Humit and Mr. HAwEs, the motion was negatived without a division. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved fur a Select Committee to inquire into the allegations in the petition for the students in the School of Design. A long discussion followed on the subject of the squabbles which have recently taken place among the teachers and students in the School, and, eventually, the motion was negatived without a division. The House then went into Committee of Supply, when several votes were agreed to. The House having resumed, several maasures were forwarded a stage ; and the orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at Two o'clock. We live in an age either of the most Pharisaical or of the most inconsistent humanity. Our sympathies are like the saccharine principle of some fruits, of which it is difficult to say whether the sweet or the acid most predominate. For some years past, it seems to have been tha ambition of the Legislature to earn for itself a cha racter of tardy justice, or of repentant humanity, by re sponding to the demands of public feeling and opinion for the abolition of imprisonment for debt. In the career of nor al advancement in the science of adapting modern legislation to the tone and wants of modern society, the House of Lords lately took a prominent lead. From that House, the first great remedisl measures issued, which had for their object to put down a barbarous practice, on all hands admitted to be the scan dal of our modern social institutions. The bold and decided step which it took in advance Of the other House, as to imprisonment for debt, was hailed with grateful no clatnation by all the most enlightened and humane men of every party. Nor have the Peers themselves shown any indisposition (so far as we have ever heard) to to cept the credit which was given to them for this generous impulse. We have perused, therefore, with surprise, the first draught of a Bill, as amended in Committee, entitled "An Act for better securing the p a y_ mont of small debts." It has long been the fashion to consider that the more searching investiga tion and more careful forms of the House of Lords provide the only effectual counterpoise to the slovenly, hurried, andomftemnornes. "ThankcklessprocessesGodthere of Cemmittez e ofotfh Lordse House of co , has been an ejaculation of grateful acknowledgment, to which the high authority of Mr. CoBBETT has long given a wide and authoritative circulation. But if the Lords intend to produce many fellows to the Bill before us, the converse of the proposition will obtain with the people : an expression of thankfulness on the part of the public that "there is a House of Commons." We are at a loss to understand on what principle, in 1845, the Peers of Great Britain can have been induced to launch so fierce a decree .as this Bill contains—against that class of debtors who, we think, are already most within the effective reach of the law. The first clause enacts that--" Creditors ob- ULV 29 1845. SP"RTING INTELLIGENCE (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) GOODWOOD RACES. CHICHiSTER, MONDAY NIGHT, EIGHT O'CLOCK.—In the course of the day a great number of arrivals have been re ported, but as yet there has been no " gathering" at the betting-rooms, nor any betting deserving of notice. We hear that all the stables at Goodwood and the vicinity are full, and that an immense number of horses were out this morning; further, that Uua (who arrived yesterday in com pany with La Goualeuse, 2 yrs old) and Plaudit broke down this morning. The Cure pulled up lame yesterday; Aris tides is also said to be lame. In addition to those already published, Master Thomas, Sir Abstrupus, Philip, Venus filly, Rowena, Queen of Tyne, and several others have arrived, The weather continues favourable.

GOODWOOD RACES. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT. ) Thursday is the grand day of the meeting, but why it should be so called I know not, seeing that the sport on the first day is just as good, if not better. As the Cup is the gre « t a ture of the day, and the race that excites most in terest among the fairer portion of the creation, I shall allude to it first, and if I shall be enabled to add to the wardrobe cif some of my lady readers a few dozen of gloves I shall be amply repaid for the trouble the task of commenting upon this valuable stake has cost me. A great deal of the in terest which this race has excited has been destroyed by the withdrawal of Foig-a-ballagh. Nobody can now com plain that the announcement was not made soon enough. At the post I expect to see St. Law rence, 9st. 71b., The Cure, 9st. 11b, Sorella, Bst. 111 b., Ak her, Bst. 51b., Valerian, Bst. Ilb., Amid°. 7 at. 121 b., Game cock, 7st. 121 h., Stomacher, 7st. 111 b., Refraction, 7st. 71b., Drummer, 7st. 51b., Laird o' Cockpen, 6st. 131 b., Winchester, 6st. 111 b., Miss Elis, 3 yrs, 6st. 91b. Of these I think St. Lawrence or Gamecock will be found the first at the winning post. The former, it should be borne in mind, with Bst. 91b., ran second to Sweetmeat at Bath, for the Somersetshire Stakes, distance two miles and a half, and subseptently second to Intrepid, at Chester, beating a very large field of horses, - after a race run the greater part of it at terrific speed. Neither Intrepid or Sweetmeat have since been beaten, and St. Lawrence has been kept fresh in his stable, and will be ridden by old John Day. Gamecock, has likewise the advantage of a long rest, added to which he is extremely well in at Newton. Arundo, I should imagine, would only start out of compliment to his owner, the steward of the meeting. Stomacher is much fancied by those who support Mr. Forth on this course. He is an opponent always to be dreaded, but I think not so much on this occasion as on othere. The Stomacher cannot complain of the weight assigned to her, and, if ehe runs, will no doubt be in a good place. The Drummer, from all I can hear, will turn out no Beggarman. Refraction is an in-and-out runner, added to which 7st. 71b. for a three years old, two miles and a half, must prove a stopper. Gamecock, for his two years, gives her only 51b.—think of that, ye speculators on the weights. I think Miss Elis will be ridden by the luckiest jockey of the day (Nat), and belongs to a nobleman who has won more Goodwood Cups than any other person on the turf. And when I recollect Priam, Carew, liornsea, all being chronicled winners of this nch plate, the former twice, I do not think that Lord Ches terfield would have sent Gamecock had he not been convinced of the excellent chance he stood for it valerian, the present first favourite, is far too uncertain an animal for me to place faith in. Akbar has neither speed nor bottom for this race. Winesour, should he be started, will speedily feel the effect of his winning, and the weight the Laird will have to carry, will prevent the Cup gracing the sideboards of either of their owners. The Cure will struggle on towards the front, but his habit of swerving at the end of his races makes me mistrust him now. The Racing Stakes is likely to furnish an excellent race between Pug and Worthless. The former, I think, will be found the better of the two. Cowl will not go, on account of the penalty of 61b. he has to carry for winning at Ascot. Lord George Bentinck's Nightcap, I am told, will walk over for the 100 Sovs. Stakes. The 200 Sovs. Sweepstakes, for colts and fillies, will bring out the two best bred two-year-olds in England. Ark wright, by Don John, winner of the speediest St. Leger ever known, out of Arachne, an Oaks winner, is one, and Lom brero, by Bay Middleton, likewise a Derby winner, out of Chapeau d'Espsgne, a mare that ran second to Pussy for the Oaks. As the former animal has the speediest blood in his veins, I think he will be found the best at the finish. The 200 Sovs. Two-year-old Stakes will be, like all the races of this class, merely a trial between John Day's stable and John Kent's. The Sussex Stakes I apprehend will go to Mr. Shelley's Samphire, if what I hear be true. For the Anglesey I prefer moat Quebec, Naworth, and Sir Abstrupue. On Friday the Naesan Stakes will be sharply contested for by Stitch, Plaudit, and Pug, and as Lord Eglinton's filly has not been running about so much as Lord George's, I shall give the preference to her. For the Chesterfield Cup forty horses are handicapped, and about half that number, in all probability, will start. Rowena, Vaudeville, the Knight, and Arcanus, will be found, I opine, the best of them. Queen Mab will be difficult to beat for the Maidstone Stakes. If any animal does it, I should think it would be John o'Gatust ; and if Princess Alice has not run previously, I think she will prove the winner. Cowl or the Laird o'Cockpen will, no doubt, walk over for the 50 Soya. Stakes. The Molecombe will be one of the most interesting races of the day, but the starters for it are uncertain, and depend materially upon the results of the other races. Freelance will haVe to carry 51b. extra for winning the Chesterfield Stakes, Princess Alice suffers a like penalty from having the good fortune to carry off a rich stake at Chester. Witaend is in a similar situation ; therefore, I think their chance is quite out. Madcap has improved so much lately, that I think either her or Sting will be first home. As I have little doubt Cambaules will win the Ham, and so have to carry 51b extra, I shall not put him down as likely to win this. London, July 29. TELEGRAPH. RACES 1' 0 COME.

We had yesterday an opportunity of inspecting a drawing of the intended elevation, which, if carried out, will be a very great ornament to the town--indeed, we have no building in Manchester that can at all be compared with it ; it bears some resemblance in form to the Liverpool Custom House, but is altogether a very superior and hand some structure, of two stories. The site is at the upper end of Market-street, High-street, Cannon-street, and Palace street, covering Marsden-square, the whole of the shop warehouse and other property within those limits having to come down. The building is to form three sides of a square, having the open or principal front to face into High-street; the open space in front, of the centre and between the two wings will be a raised stone platform, to be approached by a handsome flight of steps from High street, for the convenience of the congregated merchants and manufac turers during change hours. The news room is to occupy the Market-street side of the square or wing occupying two stories, thus forming a spacious and lofty room, lighted by three domes and the side-lights; the size of this room will be nearly the same as the large room at Exeter Hall, London, about 12,000 square feet ; the approach to it is made by three entrances from Market-street. The centre of the building on both stories will be converted into ofEces. which wlil be let off for mercantile purposes. The northern, or Cannon-street wing, will form a Stock Exchange, and a public mercan tile sales room; above these rooms, on the second story, will be a large room of corresponding dimensions with the news-room in the other wing, which will be a public room ap plicable to the purposes of a large music -room, or public meetings, or it will be divisible into three rooms, as occasion may require. From the above sketch it will be readily con ceived that the erection will not be made at a slight expense. and it is intended to accomplish the object by means of a com pany to raise 200,000/. in 25/. shares ; the company is alreadv provisionally registered in - secordance with the new Act, and the projectors have received every encouragement ruin all quarters where the matter has been mentioned. It will he brought more prominently forward, we understand, in a few days. —Manchester Courier.

City to refrain from railway share trans actions, such is the desire to deal in this species of -investment. The Consol Market is rather fiat this morning, owing to the continued variable state of the weather. For the Account the price has been at 98%, and for immediate transfer at a fall to 98%.
