Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond air. to: :rut precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer • arc all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea-, lion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex-. hibdion ever witnessed. To view it only ar a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of 7 the qu et Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa.. cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The cv,ning PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men.7ays, Tues., days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey„ are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in, daingjuNtice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. he fearful ch ‘racteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same , Uwe so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic: Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the Thousands: who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, his achieved a matchless. triumi.h.

No business of the slightest importance took plac e` in the House of Lords, if we except the motion for the third reading of the notorious Bill of the Bishop of rivuTER. Lord FOLEY moved that it be read a. third time that day six months. The Duke of WEL LINGTON concurred in the motion, as her MAJESTY'S. Government had informed themselves on the subject, and would at a future period bring in a Bill on the subjecd. We doubt the statement. The Bill was, withd.-:awn, and the House adjourned. The .House met again at six o'clock, when argu ments were heard in reference to the Irish State Trials. It is understood that judgment will be given in this Lac nster trial in the course of this day. In the Commons, after the presentation of peti tions, Mx. WALLACE gave notice, that when the House divided on the Railways Bill, the names of Members interested in railways should not be received. Mr. T. DuNcomuE moved for copies of the cor respondence which had taken place between the Home Secretary and the Governor of Guernsey relative to the late disturbances. Sir J. GRAHAM said the sub ject would, in a few days, come before the Privy Council, and it would, therefore, be better to post pone the motion. Mr. DLNCOMBE assented, and post poned his motion for a fortnight. The Irish Presbyterian Marriage Bill was read a first time. Mr. CHRISTIE then brought forward a motion on the Danish Claims. This is no new motion. The question has been discussed and decided several times, and, we believe with only ona exception, the decision has been in favour of the claimants. Indeed, so far did the House of Commons admit the justice of the claims, that they drew up an address to her Majesty in fa your of the claimants, and that address was graciously responded to ; the Whig Government, however, re sisted the decision of the House of Commons, and con trived some new scheme to defeat the petitioners, who have now for nearly 40 years been denied justice. The Tory Government have unfortunately imitated their example. They mustered all tin forces they could last night to defeat Mr. CHRISTIE'S motion. It was a desperate run, and the Government carried their point, only by a ma jority of four. Is not this a most disgraceful mode of conducting public business? The Commons have repeatedly decided that a Committee of Inquiry should be appointed, and Whig and Tory Cabinets have resorted to the most contemptible shifts to deprive men of their just claims for no reason that any man can see but to have command of more money. They will, however, be compelled to yield. The Baron DE BODE, who has been kept out of his property for thirty years, is a living instance of the robberies committed by moral Governments, and of the just retribution of crime. He has hunted them to the last — he has, after - trying in - vain the honour of the Legislature, appealed to the honour of au aaglish jury, and he has triumphed. An honest 5;1)317 decided that be was entitled to a sum ex c ceding 300,0001., with interest, which had been re ( :ei ved from the French Government, and expended b 5 - GEORGE the FOURTH, under the administration of 4.3 rd LivEnrooL, in a way only known to the KING ‘rid his Ministers. Yet Lord LIVERPOOL had the character of an honest man. So has Mr. GOULBERN, uld more, he is a religious man ; yet he resists, for State purposes, claims which are even stronger than dose of the Baron DE BODE. We wish him joy of the majority of four, on a question which had repeatedly la ?en decided by the Commons in favour of the vl aimants. The House adjourned at Eight o'clock. Those of our readers who may happen to be ac quainted with GOLDSMITH'S works, can scarcely have forgotten his diverting, full-length portrait of Croaker, in the comedy of the Good Natured Man• ['his Croaker, like his prototype Ileraclitus of o Id—who certainly ought to have been an Eng- Vshman—is a born genius for grumbling. He b aids the reverse of POPD'S famous axiom, that " whatever is, is right," and stoutly maintains that ‘"- whatever is, is wrong." Where other more cordial Spirits find the materials for consolation, if not of hope, he finds only the materials of discomfort and cilespondency; and is never so much in his element as when discovering some fine, fresh grievance, "war- zultei genuine"—as our shop placards have it—on which he may descant with all the powers of his gloomy and splenetic e!oquence. Just such as Ras Croaker in private life, is the Morning Post in pcilitics—tbat is to say, a grievance-hunter of the Ei-st water. As the former was always indulging, in e a JEREMIAH or a CASSANDRA, in the most dole- I - al vaticinations, so is the latter never so completely at .home as when terrifying his numerous readers with 11 sorts of dire predictions. We have not the good f brtune to be acquainted with the person of our xiste Contemporary, but whenever we see a gentleman in the streets looking more downcast and hypochondriacal than the general run of London peripatetics, as if some alarming grievance were fer orienting in his prolific imagination, we always feel tempted to exclaim with a sigh cf affectionate compassion, " there goes the Morning Post 1" We lope that our desponding Contemporary may not be discovered some fine morning self-suspended to the lamp-post in front of his office—a vic tim to overpowering affliction . brought on by his conviction of the present ruinous state of the agricul- tural interest ; but we must confess that such a catas trophe, however it would . grieve,' would not surprise us, for nothing can be inure nugubriousnothing more , hopelessly dejected than the language which he held yesterday. That we. may 'not be sus pected of - exaggeration, we will just beg leave to cull a few sprigs frein his plantation of henbane, hemlock, and nightshade. " When distress'.shall return," he says, " and distress such as our agriculturists have never yet known, cannot be far distant, let not our Par:ia mentary landowners affect to ascribe the ruin of to ants and the disaffection of peasantry to some in scrutable dispensations of Providence. Recent legis lative measures 'will account for the utter ruin of the agricultural interest." Again—" In the autumn of 1845, if not earlier, our Parliamentary land- owners will have an opportunity of witnessing the action of the economical principles which they have embraced since 1841. When farmers shall be sold up by hundreds—when involuntary idleness and disaffec tion shall have spread to a fearful extent among our artisans and peasantry—when the throat of the land owner shall blacken under the gripe of the mortgagee —then will the agricultural supporters of Sir R. PEEL understand the true nature of that great statesman's enlightened principles." This last vaticination is in our Contemporary's finest spirit of horror, and was evidently penned with a view to depress the spirits of those country gentlemen who may happen to have been too much elated by the lato; decision on the corn-laws. But, though no very_ ..enthusias tic admirers of the Premier, we are farindeed from anticipating that such awful calamities as the Post conjures up, will be the inevitable results of his policy. The agricultural interest need fear no very great or decisive injury at his hands. He stands too much in need of their support to work them any serious mis- chief—at least for some years to come. The pear is not yet ripe. The hour is not yet arrived when he may safely throw them overboard, and form an al liance, offensive and defensive, with the free-trade party. Sir R. PEEL'S present policy is to commit himself to no parties, but to establish a sort of claim on all of them, by alternately cajoling and threaten ing them, and blinding them by such vague pro fessions of good will as may fill them with hopes destined, most probably, never to be realised. One day he throws out a lUre to Mr. Comm; ; the next, to Mr. BANKES, of Arcadian-happiness notoriety. Last year, he advanced a step towards the free-traders ; this year, he makes a retrograde movement, and falls back on the Monopolists. Those who may have seen two school-boys playing at see saw, and watched with what clock-work regularity the one goes up as the other goes down, will be able to form a pretty correct idea of the Premier's system of policy. It is a perfect game of see-saw between the manufactur ing and the agricultural interests. The Minister fur nishes the plank on which the two parties are seated, and as they go up and go down alternately, he boasis of the impartiality with which the game is played, and the cogent reasons that each party has to be satisfied with it. Madrid journals of the Ist inst. have been received. According to a ►etter in one of them from Barcelona, the Emperor of MOROCCO had replied to the ulti matum of the Spanish Government in so insolent a style as to leave no alternative but war. The con clusion of the conferences and the commencement of hostilities had been communicated to the diplomatic body. The Madrid Gazette of the Ist contains the following revolting summary of the executions in only one district of Catalonia : " Between the Ist of February and the 15th of June, the faction' in the Macstrazzo have sustained the following losses :—Killed on the field of battle, 54 men ; shot, after being made prisoners, 120 men ; pardoned, for various rea sons, 107. Among the prisoners shut are the chiefs El Ser rador, Viscaro, Lauva, and Taso ; Marsal and his lieutenant, Pilaren, Cotarro and his second, Martinez El Serano, Taran ques, and Galo de Santa Oleon ; and 25 generals or officers, including one colonel, one commandant, three captains, and thirteen lieutenants. Since the 29th of May fourteen spies and nineteen officers, coming from France, and a certain number of douaniers who had joined the bands have been shot. General Don Juan de Villalonga has, by his energetic activity, not a litee contributed to this result." The Funds have again receded. The Three per Cents. closed at 26* cash, and 261 for 60 days; the Fives at 191 for the same period. The French Chamber of Peers did not sit on Sa turday, and the business in the other Chamber was confined to a debate on two petitions from the town of Bastin, in Corsica, complaining of the conduct of the Prefect. The Chamber, however, rejected the petitions, and passed to the order of the day. The Committee appointed to inquire • into the expediency of abolishing the duty on newspapers made their re port, in which they state that they cannot reccom mend the abolition of the duty, though they disap prove of the present system, and consider that a uni form duty of four centimes (four-fifths of a half penny) should be levied on all journals, whether large or small. They are opposed also to a tax on advertisements. The Constitutionel contains a strong attack on the Government relative to the partial and dishonest manner in which Government contracts are made. According to law all contracts exceeding 50,000 francs are to be submitted to public compe tition, but in many instances the law has been evaded. Several large contracts for rails and Go vernment supplies, it asserts, have been made by pri vate bargain with favoured parties to the injury of competitors, and sometimes at ten per cent. higher than the market price. A dreadful fire broke out at Algiers on the night of the 26th ult., which destroyed property to the amount of 1,300,000 f. (52,0001.) The Akbar gives the following details : " The fire has destroyed all the barracks situated between the streets Bab Azourn and the Dejeuinah. This building has been greatly inju re d, an d wou ld no d ou bt h av e been en tirely destroyed but for the prompt and energetic means em ployed to save it. The whole of the citizens, directed by the authorities, and aided by the military, navy, and militia, vied with one another in zeal and devotion to the common cause. The Sardinian legate Beroldoe sent a strong de tachment ashore, headed by their brave commander le Che valier Milece, whose vigorous and intelligent co-operation tended mainly to the preservation of a large range of build ings in the street Porte Neuve. Towards midnight the pro gress of the flames was such that it was determined to isolate the Dejeninah from the Manutention, which was done ac cordingly. The Bishop's palace, which was especially threatened, was immediately denuded of all furniture, and the Right Rev. Prelate himself in the street, surrounded by his books and furniture, was desirous of lending a hand to the work of extinguishment, and was only prevented on the assurance that the numbers employed were already greater than the nature of the work required. At midnight the fire was completely got under. Some rather alarming reports were spread in town as to the number of killed and injured. We are, however, enabled, on the best authority, to state that no one has perished, and the number of injured does not ex ceed thirty. It has been clearly ascertained that the origin of the fire was purely accidental." MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The nuptials of Lord Charles Wellesley, second son of the Duke of Wel lington, and Miss Pierrepont, daughter of the Right Hon. Henry Manvers Pierrepont, was solemnised yesterday, in the presence of a most brilliant circle of the relatives and friends of both noble and distin guished families. Loss OF THE THOMAS, OF GLASGOW.—A letter was received at Lloyd's yesterday, from the Ad miralty, containing the official documents relating to the loss of the above vessel, on the coast of Guade loupe, the particulars of which were received about three or four weeks since. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY TUESDAY EVENING. , ... . _ At the termination of business Consols were still firm at 988 to 99, but rather inactive. None of the other English investments were subjected to any fluctuation as compared with the rates of the morning. The Foreign Bonds closed rather heavily. Mexican at 354, and 154 for the Five and Three per Cents., Buenos Ayres at 35, and Brazilian at 82. Spanish Five per Cents. continued at 23, and the Three per Cents. at 334 to Venezuela were 404. Dutch Five per Cents. were rather easier, being 1004. The additional transactions in Railway Shares have been these:—Eastern Counties, New, 41; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 114; Great Western Fifths, 104; Bir mingham Thirds, 36 to 364; South-Western, 414 • Ditto Scrip, 34 4; Croydon, 3 - 1.) 34; Manchester and Bir mingham, 16; South-Eastern, 24; Ditto New, 7; Trent Valley, 8; Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, 1 to 14; Paris and Orleans, 19; and Paris and Rouen, 194 premium. Blackwall, 94; and North British, 4 discount. The rate of Exchange on Amsterdam and Frankfort was about the same as last Friday, on Antwerp a shade lower, and on Hamburgh and Trieste rather firmer. The following is the official r, turn of the exports of bullion from the port of London for the week ending Thursday last:—Silver bars to Hamburgh, 4,000 ounces. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, of which 1,200 were taken by exporters. The rates were steady. Sales 200 Pernams at 54d. to sid., 50 Maranham at M., 150 Egyptian at bid. to 64d., some Surat at 3d. to 30., and the rest American at 4d. to 74d. for Orleans. Shares were rather healthier, with a good business doing.—Bir mingham and Gloucester, 963 ; Dublin and Cashel, 47 ; Eastern Counties Registered, 13; ; Glasgow and Greenock, 114 ; Grand Junction, 229 ; Ditto Half, 1143 ; Great Western Fifths, 23%; London and Brighton, 46i ; Midland Counties, Quarter, 234 ; Sheffield and Manchester, Quarter, 104 ; South- Eastern, 353 ; Trent Valley, 103 ; Lyons and Avignon, 11. 18s. 6d. ; Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux, 14. The commercial letters received yesterday from the Bra zils are not of a satisfactory character. Much disappoint ment continued to be expressed at the want of a greater de gree of liberality than has been shown towards Brazilian produce admitted to British ports. A most extended trade would be mulled on in our manufactures were but the imposts upon sugar reduced a trifle only. The attempt to introduce into the 'London market Aus tralian salted meats appears to have met with very indifferent success up to the present time, and there are some who look upon it as a decided failure, and' augur no better re sult for the future. 'We think, however, in reference to the latter, that whatever may have been the case hitherto, too hasty- a decision should not be come to as regards what may be accomplished hereafter, since it is a matter of considerable importance, and in which perseverance would be ,highly laudable. We pronounce no decided opinion, however upon the subject, and the heat of the climate may be an objection ; but the following informa tion from Mr. Williams, the American Consul, at Sydney, to the Editor of the Herald published there, seems very favour able : _ _ "Knowing the solicitude which is felt by this community to learn the result of the salting experiments of the last season, I have much pleasure instating, that.Capton Tabor, of the American whale ship Tuscaloosa, who .supplied bis ship with colonial salted beef, on his last visit to this port, has informed me that he never • had beef on board his ship which gave himself and • his crew better satisfaction than that from Sydney. The.beef in_ question was packed with Liverpool salt exclusively, and-he thinks might not keep so well for a long voyage as if St. Übels_salt had been used." The editors of the SydneyHeinOsayin , reference to this communication :—" This beef we understand was cured so far north as the Richmond River. We have also been informed that the colonial beef shipped on board her Majesty's ship North Star was so much approved .of, that on her last visit to Sydney she landed all her Deptford 'cured meat, and filled up with colonial." As respects railway property the circular of a Manchester firm, received to-da%, has the following remarks :—. 4 ! The Government and other dividends coming upon the market alon,;; with rents, and the continued difficulty of employing money beneficially, will work favourably for railway adven tures; moreover, the improving traffic for the last half year, in comparison with the same period of the former, cannot fail to have influence, especially under the increasing abun dance of capital, =required, as it is, for other purposes at the present time." The Funds are steady to-day. The dividends are now in course of payment at the Bank, but parties receiving on the first day, except bankers and trustees, are not generally those who have a surplus for re-investment. Consols for Money and Time are 984 to 99. Exchequer Bills realised 745. to 765. premium. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 1024 to ;), and the Three per Cents. 99A to 4. Bank Stock has been firm at an improvement to 1994, and East India Stock at 2844 to 285. The Government broker has bought a small parcel of Consols. Business in the Foreign Market is extremely dull. Mexi can have gone back to 354 4 for the Five per Cents., and to 15/ for the Deferred. Spanish are a dead letter for the pre sent. The Fives are called 23 to 4, and the Threes 33 to A. Colombian Stock has been at 134 to a. Belgian Bonds are quiet at 1034, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 61. There has been less business doing in the Railway Shares, but, generally, the holders require very full rates. Birming ham have touched 127 to 128 premium. Great Western are 504 to 504, and Bristol and Gloucester, 164 premium. North Midland are 2 to 3 discount. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY B.—We have had a quiet market, without any material change in prices : London and Birmingham, 226 ; Manchester and Birming ham, 551 1 ; Ditto Quarters, 31. 7s. and 31. 7s. 6d. ; Trent Valley, 101 ; Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, 10 15-16.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1844. 'SUMMARY OF NEWS AND puttir Optnion. " Who runs may read." POZIEIGN. A fire broke out at Algiers on the 26th, 'which destroyed property, a considerable portion of which belonged to the Government, to the amount of 52,0001. The last advices received from Oran at Marseilles announce that] the Emperor Abd-er-Rhamon has formally disavowed the hostilities psmmenced against France, and that El- Guenioni has notified to the tribes on the frontier that it is expedient to relinquish the pretension of removing the fron tier of Morocco to the Tafna. The Moniteur Algerien of the 30th says :—"The last ac counts from the west continue most favourable. Since the brilliant combat on the 15th of June, no act of hostility has been committed by the Moorish chiefs, who have retired with their troops several days' marches behind Ouchda." La Presse, in its correspondence from Toulon, says that Abd-el-Kader had received from the son of the Emperor of Morocco a supply of 6,000 English muskets, with instructions for artillery service, printed in Arabic and English. A letter from Trieste says that the Emperor of Russia having recognised the Constitutional Government of Greece, diplomatic relations are to be renewed with that State. M. Persiani, on the part of Russia, has communicated the fact to the corps diplomatique. It is reported that M. Doschkow, the Consul-General in Moldavia, would go to Athens as Russian Ambassador. M. Persiani is recalled. M. Fokk is appointed Russian Consul-General in Egypt. A letter, _says the Paris Presse, from Rio Janeiro, of the 10th of May, states that the Brazilian Minister of Foreign Affairs has informed the foreign Consuls that the treaty con cluded with England eight years ago, which expires on the Ist of November, will not be renewed. Arrangements made afterwards extended this treaty to France, consequently from the 2d of November the duties opt all goods imported from Europe will be raised to 50 or even 60 per cent. ad valorem, mid that not the original value, but the value in Brazil— that is to say, with freight, insurances, and other expenses included. Such an increase of duty is equivalent to a pro hibition, and no doubt if it be so maintained it will exercise a disastrous influence on our (French) exportations. We learn from Cuxhaven that the body of Mrs. Smith, who lost her life in the wreck of the Manchester, has been taken up near KronprinzenKrong, and landed there. LAW AND POLICE. In the Common Pleas an action was brought by Mr. An derson, a horse-dealer, against Mr. Elmore, to recover the price of two horses which the.plaintiff bad sold to defendant. The horses were warranted, and the defence was that there had been a breach of the warranty, as the horses were un sound. The defendant paid into ourt 611., the price which one horse fetched, after deducting the expenses of the sale at Aldridge's Repository, and 4/. the sum the carcase of the other horse, who had died, had fetched. Evidence was given of the unsoundness of the horses by Sir W. W. Wynn, Mr. Mason, the steeple-chase rider, and a veterinary surgeon, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 3151. At Marylebone Police-court, John Brown was charged be fore Mr. Long with having attempted to stab a man, named Matthew Delahey, residing in Crawford-place, • I3ryanston square. Complainant stated that on Saturday last, as he was proceeding along the Alpha-road, Regent's-park, the prisoner cried out in a load voice, "Clear the way." Com plainant, not knowing what was the matter, jumped off the foot-path into the road, when the prisoner pursued him, car rying in his hand an open clasp-knife, with which he twice tried to stab complainant. Ile fortunately escaped being in jured. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that he had been drinking with a brother whom he had not seen for some years before, and he had no knowledge of having acted wrong. Mr. Long fined the prisoner 5/. ; in default of pay ment, two months' imprisonment. At Worship-street, a very respectable-looking young man, but whose name was not given; was brought before Mr. Bing ham upon a charge of assaulting one of the officers of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. A railway inspector said that the defendant, who bad come up from Essex, had behaved in a very extraordinary . way, but he believed that the unfortunate gentleman was insane. His friends live at Witham, in Essex, and he is by profession a surgeon. The defendant being asked if he wished to say anything, replied that he wag guilty of everything that they said against him, and ready to submit to any punishment, and, in return, he asked the Magistrate if he :was a ventriloquist? Mr. Bing ham directed that he should be detained until he could pro cure bail, two sureties in 251. each, and he was removed in custody. When in the cell, he addressed an incoherent letter to Sir Robert Pee], signed " Ellison Spencer Douglas Grove." C 017 AT 1110 Xe ABMS.

Mrs. Standish had a soiree afterwards. 1 irsCELX.JIITEOI7B. Mr. Richard Spooner has accepted the invitation of the Tories to come forward as a candidate for Birmingham. Di vision' we regret to say, still exists among the Liberals, and both Mr. Scholefield and Mr. Sturge are canvassing the electors. " On Saturday morning," says a writer in the Warder, " Mr. O'Connell commenced his great literary labour—his 'Life and•Times,' or by what other style and. title his projected autobiography is to be distinguished, employing Mr. O'Neill Daunt as his amanuensis." A great deal of dissatisfaction has been caused with respect to the recent promotions to the office of ytpding Surveyors, in consequence of two of the gentlemewi ho•have been for tunate enough to obtain the appointingnts having been passed over the heads of several officwof acknowledged talent and undeniable probity , who have•sbeen acting in the vacancies caused by the recent dismissal,9,4o 4 , for a:consider able period, and who, therefore, expected to be promoted in their proper turns, according to the established rule and practice. The works for the new harbour at Aberdeen have been contracted for by Messrs Oldham, builders and railway con tractors, of Cheltenham. The sum is 99,6601. When com pleted, the new harbour will be one of the most commodious in the kingdom. On Monday the Philharmonic Society concluded a brilliant season, the most brilliant that it has had for many years. The royal and noble directors have officially appointed Mr. Loder leader of the Ancient Concerts, in place of Mr. Francois Cramer, resigned. THE IRON TRADE.—As an instance of the in creasing briskness of the above trade, we may mention that the shipping agent, at Newport, of a large establishment on the hills, in one day last week received by post advices of charter parties, for cargoes to be shipped, amounting to 3,000 tons of railway iron. The rails are chiefly for Charleston, S. C.—Monmouthshire Merlin. OPENING OF LETTEES.—On Thursday last, at Cupar, before Mr. Sheriff Jamieson, a young woman was charged, at the instance of the Joint Procurators-Fiscal, with contravening the statute of 1 Victoria, cap. 36, sec. 25, in having, while in charge of the post-office in a village in the country, on the 6th day of May last, opened a post letter which had been put in there. She pleaded guilty, and her agent, Mr. M'Glashan, stated several circumstances in mitigation of punish ment, and produced certificates of her good character. The sheriff in pronouncing sentence stated, that he believed she had opened the letter out of thoughtless curiosity; but that there was nothing more sacred than letters put into the Post-office; that the arrangements of our Post-office were guarded by Act of Parliament, which made severe punish ment applicable to offenders against its laws, and hence its present efficiency. He therefore sentenced her to pay a fine of 51., or to be imprisoned for sixty days. The fine was im mediately paid.— Scottish Record ACCELERATION OF THE NORTHERN MAILS.—On Monday the mails from Abe General Post-office, conveying newspapers and letters to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and places beyond those cities, were accelerated by the command of the Noble Earl at the head of the department. It has been stated that the morning and evening mails would leave London one hour earlier than heretofore, in order to give to the above places additional deliveries; but this, it appears, is not the fact. The mails will leave London at the same hour, morning and evening, as formerly, and we were on Monday informed at the General Post-office, that the additional advantages to the northern districts, which have been for some time in contemplation, will be secured through the following means, :—According to the old practice, the mail-bags to Edinburgh, and those also which have to be forwarded beyond that city by cross-road mails, were dispatched at eight in the evening from the General Post-office, thence to the ter minus of the Birmingham and Grand Junction Railways to Lancaster, where they arrived at fifty-one minutes past seven the following morning. At twenty minutes past eight a.m., they were forwarded by coach to Carlisle, and thence to Edinburgh, arriving there at forty-three minutes past one a.m., thus occupying twenty-nine hours and forty-three minutes in the transitfrom London to Edinburgh. Monday, instead of their being forwarded by Lancaster, they were dispatched to Newcastle (north), and thence to Carlisle by the newly opened railway, thus saving upwards of an hour, the whole distance to Edinburgh being completed within twenty-nine hours. The morning mails from London will be dispatched at nine o'clock a.m., as usual, from the General Post-office ; but, instead of arriving at Edinburgh at twenty five minutes past two p.m., on the ensuing day, it will reach its destination shortly after one o'clock. To effect this great improvement, arrangements have been satisfactorily con cluded with the London and Birmingham, the Grand Junc tion, the North Union, and the Newcastle and Carlisle lines of railway. The above acceleration of the mail bags will also allow of more time for posting in Scotland, and also per mit of bags being brought from a greater distance round Edinburgh and Glasgow, for delivery along the line, and in the metropolis and its environs. THE KING OF SAXONY.—On Sunday his Majesty the King of Saxony, attended by his usual suite, visited the city of Bristol, and proceeded to the Bath Hotel, Clifton. His Majesty, after attending Divine service, proceeded to view the various beauties of Clifton, and was, as we under stand, particularly struck with the romantic grandeur of St. Vincent's rocks. This morning he proceeded to view the steam-ship Great Britain, on board which his Majesty was received by the Right Worshipful the Mayor (Mr. L. Clarke), Captain Claxton, R.N. ; Mr. T. R. Guppy, Civil Engineer; and Captain Elton, by whom his Majesty was conducted through every portion of the ship, which excited the most marked commendations from the Royal per sonage, who express e d re p e atedly his astonishment at her stupendous whieh size, she and u.as tfihtetedm His ve Majesty then proceeded and powerful machi nery with to Leigh Court, the seat of Mr. P. J. Miles, which has been so often visited by Royalty, where he viewed the superb gallery of paintings, and partook of a dijeuner. On Monday evening, it is understood, his Majesty would depart for Wales, to view the Dowlais Ironworks, the property of Sir J. Guests COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert walked yesterday morn ing in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. His Royal Highness Prince.

Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal an I tl-e Princess 'Alice were taken airings yesterday in the royal gardens. In the afternoon her Majesty and Prince Albert tiok an airing in an open carriage and four, the Equerries in Waiting, Colonels Buckley and Bouverie, attending on horseback.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert honoured Mr. Thorburn with a sitting yesterday, for a full length portrait. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz honoured Count Kielmannsegge, the Hanoverian Minister, with his company at dinner yesterday evening, at his residence in Grosvenor-place. Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Meek lenburgh Strelitz, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt and Major Stephens, honoured the Italian Opera with their presence last evening. A deputation on the affairs of Prince Edward's Island, consisting of Sir George Seymour, the Hon. Colonel I)undas, Mr. Lawrence Sullivan, Mr. Robert Stewart, Mr. R. J. Todd, and Mr. E.

Lythgo, and Mr. Knox (Trinidad) had interviews with Lord Stanley yesterday. Mr. iligham, Secretary and Comptroller-General to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. ROWING MATCH. The great boat race for a purse of sixty sovereigns, given by the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, who have frequently been the donors of large sums of money for competition on the Thames, took place on Tuesday. The task of selecting such men as would afford first-rate sport had been entrusted to Castles, one of her Majesty's watermen, who very ably and impartially discharged the duty, by picking an equal number from above and below bridge, and lotting them together in pairs. In the list were to be found Charles Campbell, the ex-champion ; Robert Newel, who rowed against Robert Coombes for that enviable distinction ; F. Lett, E. Maynard, and others; with whose names as first-rate men the public are familiar. The anticipation of good sport produced the largest con course of persons that we have witnessed for a length of time at any corresponding exhibition. Independently of the brilliant and fashionable assemblage on the lawn of his Grace's mansion, the craft on either shore was covered with spectators; there were hundreds of boats of every denomina tion afloat, and Westminster-bridge, to the imminent risk of many of the most ventures•m2, one mass of anxious spec tators. The race was with eight fair of oars, in three heats, and was, we regret to say, what is termed a fair waterman's wager, or, in plainer words, one in which fouling is allowed, a practice reprehended of late by leading gentlemen ama teurs, and from very good reason, as it but too frequently occurs that under its conditions indifferent men carry off the prize, whilst those of more pretensions are engaged in trying their skill at fouling. Shortly after four o'clock the sports commenced. FIRST HEAT. Frederick Lett, Lambeth, W. Robins, Battle-bridge, Horsleydown, crimson Francis Braithwaite, Hungerford, Thomas Baker, Hors- leydown, stripes V Thomas Cook, Hungerford, Richard Robinson, yellow David Ceombes, Millbank, J. Morgan, Horslo3:down, blue 4 The men started from off the Earl of Liverpool's, up round Lucas's barge road (just below the Horseferry), down to the Eatl of Liverpool's, up again to the barge road, and finished by returning to Montagu House. On the signal being given blue took the lead at a rattling pace, followed by crimson and stripes. After a few strokes the two leading boats be• came oar and oar, and in the return down from Lucas's roads crimson had the lead, and maintained it throughout, winning easily. Blue, despite the efforts of the rowers, dropped astern after the first round, giving place to yellow. SECOND HEAT. Charles Campbell, Westminster-bridge, Petclval Scott, Battle-bridge, white v 1 R. Newel, Battle-bridge, G. Saunders Hungerford, green 2 G. Maynard, Lambeth, Wm. Whitlock, Wapping, black 3 Edward Maynard, Lambeth, Edward Stocks, Limehouse, pink 4 A good start was effected, and they were oar and oar for a few yards. Green then took the lead, closely followed by white, and a gallant race followed for the first place, which white obtained off the Duke of Buccleuch's, on the return down against tide for the first time. 'White held the lead, winning by two lengths. The third boat was half a dozen lengths astern of the second. . GRAND HEAT. This was a most indifferent affair. They were oar and oar for a dozen yards; then crimson showed ahead, green and white being abreast of each other. Immediately on their arrival at the barge.head for the first time, the two tatter fouled, and continued together, while crimson rowed leisurely ahead, followed by stripes. The fouling between green and white continued for some time, but within about half a mile of the winning post, green shook their opponents off. Crim son won easily, stripes second, green third, a large way astern. — We had almost omitted to state that Newell and his part ner will receive the second prize, although stripes came in next to the winners; the reason for this being that stripes did not come to the starting post at the time the others went off, and are, therefore, not recognised as being in the race. GRAND FIELD-DAY IN HYDE-PARK ON MON DAY.—EarIy on Monday there' was a grand field-day in the large space of ground generally used for such purposes in Hyde-park. The troops on the ground consisted of the Ist and 2d battalions of the Coldstream Guards, making the full strength of that distinguished corps about 980 men ; the 2d and 3d battalions of the Grenadier Guards, under the command of Lieutenant. Colonel Grant ; the Ist bat talion of this regiment is now at Winchester. Including the bands of both, there were about 1,500 present, and all were under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Walton, of the Coldstream Guards, a gallant officer, who, in addition to many other glorious scenes, witnessed that of Waterloo. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Colonel of the Coldstreams, arrived on the ground at the appointed time. His Royal Highness was mountedon a grey charger, and was attired in the regimentals of the corps, but in undress, viz., blue frock coat, with sash, sword, &c. At about a quarter past eight o'clock the several battalions assembled—the first of the Coldstream coming from Portman. street Barracks, and the second from the Wellington Barracks, St. James'- park. The 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards came from Charing-cross Barracks, and the third from the present sta tion at St. John's Wood. The usual manoeuvres were then gone through, and lasted for some time, after which the troops returned to their barracks. A grand review of all the troops stationed in London or adjoining will take place shortly, and preparations are now being made very extensively in antici pation of the affair. SUBMARINE OPERATIONS.—On Thursday week, the smack Argyle, of Jersey, belonging to a company in the West of England, arrived in Castletown-bay, Isle of Man, with a celebrated diver, apparatus, &c., for the purpose of taking up the brass guns and other parts of the wreck of the Racehorse sloop-of-war, lost on Langness-point, about 21 years ago. On Wednesday last a great number of people, gentle and simple, were out at Langness, looking at the diver. The weather was beautiful, and there were persons sailing on that day who had not been on the water for many years. There was not a single boat left in the harbour. The diver has succeeded, with the assistance of the crew of the Argyle, in taking up about 30 tons of pig-iron, a large quantity of copper, and a large anchor and chain. The diver was under water three hours at one time on Wednesday.—lsle of Man Pair. _ _ _ - A new church has been erected in Birmingham, and will be consecrated by the Lord Bishop of. Worcester, on the 25th instant. The church is dedicated to St. Stephen.. THE WEATHER AND CRors.—Easterly winds still prevail, and being accompanied, as usually happens, with a low temperature, vegetation has not for several days made much progress. The atmosphere, however, is dry, which is favourable for the wheat ; and the land still containing a good supply of mois ture, everything wears the aspect of health. Potatoes look rather poorly, being both thin in the drills and weakly in the stem. The thinning of tur nips is, in this neighbourhood, well advanced. A good deal of hay is now in the rick, and having been put up under favourable circumstances, will be of excellent qua lity. The cut, however, is far from heavy ; but the second crop presents an appearance of great luxuriance, and will no doubt go far to compensate the deficiency of the main, crop.—Scotsman of Saturday. EXTRAORDJKARY OUTRAGE.—On Tuesday, the 25th ult., while Mr. J. H. Hynes, of New Quay, and the Rev. Mr. Fullam, Protestant clergyman, were out traul-fishing with a crew of three men, in the Bay of Galway, a fleet consisting of eighty to a hundred boats, from the Galway Claddagh, bore down on them; and nine or ten of the boats having sur rounded the fishing-boat, fifty or sixty of the Claddagh fishermen suddenly boarded her, and after cutting away the trawl, rushed on Mr. Hynes and his party with the most awful imprecations and savage yells, armed with open knives, poles, &c., knocked them down, and beat them most unmer cifully, leaving them apparently lifeless on the deck; they then cut down the sails, which, along with the anchor, cables, ropes, poles, and oars, they threw overboard. Finally, they tore up the deck, and, with the atones that formed the bal last, made many fruitless attempts to scuttle th e b oa t, a ft er which they departed, leaving her a complete wreck, to drift along the sea; fortunately she was rescued from her perilOus situation by a New Quay boat, and towed into harbour. An investigation was held on Monday, at Currenrue, concerning this most daring outrage, before Messrs. Bell and Kernan, stipendiary magistrates, and Mr. G. Macnamara, justice of the peace, harbour-hill. Although the li ves of t w o of the crew and that of Mr. Hynes were considered in imminent danger for four or five days, they are now supposed to be con valescent.—Clare Journal. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—One error makes many; the vague language of the reports on insolvency, contrary to fact, and contrary to right reason, however conformable it may be to certain grimgribber principles of musty law ore, have caused much false thinking and acting thereon. Without any regard to the general good, without any rational sympathy for unfortunate per sons, and with the sole object of relieving the aristo cratic classes from the personal penalties due to their extravagance, sensuality, and dishonesty, a series of very maleficent changes in the insolvency laws are persisted in, by which, in the end, all power over the person of an unfortunate debtor will be removed, and nothing left to the creditor but the effects, the pro perty of the debtor, the apparent i ncrease d pow( r -over which had deluded creditors to allow without a murmur the removal of every form of imprisonment, while the power over the effects will be found prac tically a power of words, a worthless bit of parch ment, only a mere cheat and fraud. Bad as may be the ill-conduct and insolvency of young divines at Oxford, or of the gentleman class in general, it bears but a small proportion to the total of the insolvency of the country, which is that of merchants, bankers, manufac turers, tradesmen, mechanics, operatives, employes, and the like, who in general have dissipated their ef fects. These remarks are suggested by the recent debates in the Lords, as well as by the objections made against the County Courts Bill, because of the 1 1 penal clauses. Unless imprisonment of the non paying debtor be enacted, those Courts will be utterly useless. The class of persons who will he summoned therein? are those who have very few effects. Their income 4 consist, e. g., of wages earned week by week, and they will have no objection to a sum mer's full work and plenty of wages spent week by week, 4 and the enjoyment increased by as many debts as they can contract with small shopkeepers— in riotous living, gross sensuality, and frolics to Gravesend and Hampton Court, silk gowns and good coats ; and then when the winter comes pro ceedings in the local courts will take away, for the benefit of creditors, all of their effects, which have not been already disposed of in anticipation, of some few shillings or pounds' value, and so pay their debts with out any inconvenience whatever. Thus live many thousands of clever mechanics and operatives, whose really valuable effects are concealed in their fingers and heads ; whose property consists of their ingeni ous handicraft, to whom the boon of non-imprison ment for debt, will grant complete impunity to sen sual indulgence, fraud, and folly. Such persons will roam from one end of the kingdom to the other, and victimise with impunity the tradesmen of the provin cial tovt ns. I cannot hope to find the columns of a newspaper, at this time, open to the further discussion of the in solvency fallacies, which are so rife abroad, im portant though they be. The mischievous errors of the reports of the various Common-law Commis sioners, are evident in the effects they have produced on the mind of Lord Cottenham, whose two speeches are made up entirely of the report of 1840, which is but a specimen of the popular reasoning on the matters of debtor and creditor—popular reasoning, but not of the opinions of the people, which are humane and correct. Thcse reports are full of errors and false reasoning, chiefly in applying the term " unfor tunate" to cases of insolvency, and then appealing to the public sympathies on behalf of persons whom they have so represented. Insolvent debtors are unfortu nate, just as all evil doing persons (criminals) are un fortunate, but not in the sense in which the Commis sioners (to serve the interests of this class) use the word. This is a question of evidence, and does not rest on mere hypothesis.lnsolvents have become so vo luntarily, by a course of conduct which they pursued either before or after the contracting of their debts, or both. They willed to become insolvent, just as, but not with an equal degree of criminality, the pick pocket or the forger willed his deed. Insolvency, larceny, felony, are each one, only the last acts, the fruition, the social evil-doing of a long course of con duct more or less vicious. Let the causes of insol vency be honestly examined, and they will be found to be, in nearly all cases, idleness, extravagance, spe culation, gambling, and dishonesty, vices in which men will freely indulge, as theyare more or less liable to punishment. The pickpocket obtains the products of his neighbour's industry by creeping behind him, and taking it unawares ; the insolvent does it by a promise dishonestly and deliberately given which his neighbour accepts, and then, as has been above stated, by a series of voluntary acts, he renders himself un able, or he will not fulfil his bargain, a bargain which it is of the very highest importance to society should be fulfilled; and, therefore, all men who do not fulfil it, but who voluntarily break it, are punishment worthy, and will be punished in a virtuous state of society, wheiS the interests of the whole people, and not the interests of a select class, are legislated for, The censures about facilities of gaining credit are absurd, and also much else of the report of the Com missioners ; were there space, it could be easily shown to be idle nonsense, unworthy even a school-boy's prize essay. However, folly and humanity-monger ing will have their course, and when millions and more millions have been wasted, and illicitly distri buted—that treasure which has been, created and hoarded, and thus made into capital by industrious, ingenious, and self-denying men, perhaps the public voice wilt swell with righteous indignation at this corrupt legislation, and demand punishment due— exemplary and sanitive— against all public enemies, whether they be insolvents or pickpockets. • I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A VICTIM. Brixton, June 30. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MAI?LBOROLGH-STREET. - - - _ Mary Dillon, a young and beautiful, girl, wearing a profusion of jewellery, was placed at the bar on the following charge:— Police-constable John Cox, No. 63 of the C division, stated that between two and three o'clock this morning, as he was proceeding on duty. along Piccadilly, he found the defendant sitting at the step of a door. near to St. James's Church. Her head was leaning on her knees, and at first he concluded that she wa.; sleeping, but on a closer inspection he found she was in a state of complete stupor. He therefore conveyed her to the station-house, where, by the direction of Inspector Frowd of the C division, she was attended by Dr. Tothill, of Charles-street, St. James's-square, the divisional surgeon of the force ; but two hours elapsed before she was restored to a state of consciousness. She afterwards intimated by signs to the Inspector that she was deaf and dumb, and ultimately wrote her name and her address., at Fulham, on a slate— but she declined giving any further information respect ing herself. Dr. Tothill was of opinion that she was suffering from the effects of some intoxicating fluid, which, of course, might have been designedly administered to her. Inspector Frowd said, he had no doubt of the defen dant actually being dumb. Mr. MALTBY—Dear me ; is that the fact—does any one know her ? _ _ • Sergeant Burnett, No. 20 of the C division, said, that a twelvemonth ago she was living in a style of great splendour in Piccadilly, under the protection of a nobleman. Inspector Frowd said a very valuable gold watch was found in her posession, but no money. It also appeared that about twelve months ago she was found insensible in the street, and was locked up in a station-house for the night, on the supposition that she was drunk, and from that time she became deaf and dumb. Mr. MALTBY humanely directed Sergeant Burnett to see her home to her friends. ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS.—The following gentlemen have been elected Fellows of the Royal College of Physicians :—Dr. Guy, of King's College, London ; Dr. Conolly, of Hanwell ; Dr. Plenderleath, of Ramsgate; Dr. Forbes, Dr. G. O. Rees, Dr. Cursham,-Dr. Rtunsbotham, and Dr. Hughes. FATAL EFFECTS OF FRIGHT ON A HORSE.—A few days ago, a man in the act of backing a horse and cart into the sea at Deal, near the Walmer-road, with a view, it is supposed, of training it to draw a bathing machine, found the animal manifest so strong a reluctance to approach the water as to tremble from head to foot. Unfortunately the man persisted in urging back the horse, which had hardly reached the water when it dropped down perfectly lifeless. The animal is said to have been worth twenty guineas.— Dover Telegraph. EXTRAORDINARY FREAK OF NATURE.—In the month of May last Mr. Rolls, under-keeper to Lord Digby, discovered, in Whitfield Wood, a pheasant's nest containing twelve eggs; about three weeks since, on examining the nest again, he found that the bird had left three of the eggs behind, and feeling a curiosity to know the reason why the eggs had not been hatched, he broke the shells, and in each egg found a young pheasant, perfect and billed, but, singular to relate, each bird had four legs and four feet. Mr. Rolls cut off the legs, and has since preserved them. He called at ' our office on Saturday, when we had an opportunity of per sonally inspecting this singular natural euriosity.—Sherborne Journal, • York Minster was re-opened on Sunday last, hiving undergone a complete restoration. The Very Rev. W. Cockburn, D.D., the Dean, preached on the occasion. ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH RAILWAY.—This morning (Saturday), shortly before six o'clock, an accident occurred at the station here of the most alarming kind, but most providentially, and it . was like an especial interpontion of Providence, no lives have been lost. About half-past five o'clock in the morning a great number of trucks, loaded with large stones and bricks, were prepared at Cowlairs to be brought down the incline by three breaks. By some great misfortune, either seven or nine of the trucks were shoved forward and on to the incline. They immediately began to move downward, of course, and although, as we understand, one poor fellow leaped on a break, which was forward, to try to stop their ownward course, all his efforts were unavailing, and the carriages came rushing down the incline with an appalling speed which no one can describe, the rails, as they neared, being actually on fire. There was no human power now to stop them, and down they came, three of the fore most running right through the centre of the large station house, through both walls, and out at the front, into the door of the bar of the North British Hotel, on the opposite side of the passage. There was no person in the station-house, and no one was hurt. The breaksman leaped off, we believe, and was injured, but how he escaped with life in such cir cumstances, is more than we can understand. There were in all nine or ten waggons, we learn, came down the incline, six of whit4f Weie - srbashed to atoms. The gratitude of every person in witnessing the effects of the accident was that no lives were lost.—Glasgow Constitutional. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAV saw MAILIEETS.
