The calendar of the now pending assizes for the county of Suffolk presents some features of appalling atrocity, to which, however, we shall allude as briefly as the importance of the circumstances may seem to justify. It is never without serious misgivings as to the consequences of dwelling, too emphatically or fre quently, on great crimes, that we advert, as matter of duty, to those occasional outbreaks of wickedness and audacity, which, from their simultaneous and ex tensive manifestation —among many districts—on the part of many classes of people—sometimes impress us with the probability of moral as well as of physical conta gion — Of this class of offences incendiarism, or arson, is, perhaps, one . of the most remarkable and most hideous types. Considered in its relations to, and bearing upon the good order, the peace and security of, property and life, and of organised society itself; there is, perhaps, no delinquency of more aggravated enormity. The pressure of external evils, the inten sity of domestic suffering from privation, poverty, and disease, the want of employment, or the perhaps still more intolerable position of labouring hard for wages inadequate to the satisfaction of even the most sordid condition of human existence ; these are cir cumstances which may he alleged in explanation— hut they cannot be pleaded in excuse—of the guilt of the incendiary. The recklessness of his particular malice, or of his general resentment, lights up the blazing pile which is to immolate alike his friend and his foe ; the property of the meritorious and indus trious innocent, as well as the well-filled granaries and stabling of the wealthier, but harder masters, whom he may choose whether on reasonable grounds or out of mere caprice, from overt acts on their side, or consciousness on his, of guilty intentions towards them,—to consider his " ene mies." If his be well-founded, his visitation of it is at once excessive and illegal. If it be not, his act is one in the highest degree of moral turpitude and civil guiltiness. In either case his vengeance is dastardly, secret, and perilous to the community. In both the suicidal folly of the design is worthy of the fiendish malignity of the execution. The hand that lights the match cannot, if it would, extinguish the combustible mass which has once been fatally ignited. The breath that has been vigorous enough to kindle the incipient spark into a devouring flame, is powerless as infancy to arrest the overwhelming progress of con flagration. The arm which has launched the de struction cannot, however remorse of conscience or feeling may prompt its better energies, stay its march. Thus, to the wantonness of one bad impulse the little all of the small occup i er, an d the garnered , harvest and costly stock of the wealthiest farmer, may be alike sacrificed in a moment, by the stealthy cri minal whose facile command over the implements of instant combustion and ruin cannot control, retard, or avert the terrible catastrophe which his infamous deed has precipitated. But how comes it that in a country like this, — where, generally speaking, the sacredness of private property seems to be rather a native instinct in the people than a mere prejudice of education or an accident of our social institutions ; how comes it that so syste matic a violation of all the laws, divine and human, which protect the proprietary rights of labour and the wealth acquired by it, should be found to pervade extensive areas of the kingdom, and the dense agricultural population settled upon them ? Alas ! we feel that the cause of such a state of things is so near the surface that the fact itself implies an inexcusable de reliction of their duty, who, aware of its existence and its growth, have not made a timely use of their influence and control to extirpate it, or at least to neutralise its manifestations. For what is the startling spectacle which the summary of the Ipswich calendar presents us, so far as regards this iniquity of incendiarism ? Of 55 prisoners for trial, 30 are indicted for the crimes of incendiarism and sending threatening let ters. Two of these 30 are females—and married women (!), respectively of the ages of 32 and 22. These two prisoners can read and write well. Eight others, aged respectively 12, 14, 18, 21, 22, 28, 32, and 53, can read and write imperfectly ; other four, whose ages are 11, 12, 12, and 16, can read but not write ; while fifteen, whose ages range thus, 11, 11, 13, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28, 31, 33, and 40, can neither read nor write at all. So that just one-half of the number indicted for arson, 15 out of 30, cannot write or read; 4 can only read, not write ; 8 can write and read im perfectly ; 2, well. Of this mass of prisoners, 15 are aged 18 and upwards ; and 14 (just about one-half again, of the whole number) are of ages rising from 11 to 17! Fourteen children, the NESTOR among whom is not more than 17, charged with the awful crime of incendiarism ! Fifteen out of 30 prisoners, on similar dreadful charges, wholly without education ! Why, what could the parochial and district clergy have been about ? Where, in this statement, is there any evidence of those incessant, all-im portant, and spontaneously administered efforts, as enlightening and instructing, informing and guiding the minds of their flocks, especially those of the rising generation, which the Bishop of LONDON, with so much unction, and his Right Rev. Brother of EXETER, with so much vehemence, insist upon as the undoubted and indefeasible merit of the beneficed and the working clergy of the Established Church ? Haply the districts where these offences have been perpetrated are so unfortunate as to be without any adequate array of clerical teachers ? 'We should hardly think so. At least they are not without an ample contingent of magisterial parsons : for (on the authority of the Morning Chronicle, which has supplied us with these details) it would appear that, of the whole thirty prisoners, no less than twenty four were committed by clergymen in the Commission ; and, as if to make this fact still more significant, of the fifteen who could read and write, twelve were sent to prison by reverend pastors, whose time would have been better employed in teaching the ignorant peasant youth of their neighbourhood the first elements of education, and the first elements of their duty to wards God and man, than in the more secular avo cation of hearing charges against them and their fathers. But there may be zealous partisans of the established clergy, who will suppose that the theatre of such offences must have been some remote and savage country district, shut out by mountains or bad roads, or dangerous waters, from the ordinary advantages and communications, which tend so much to the instruction and improvement of the poorer classes in more favoured localities. But the theatre is, in fact, the broad expanse of Suffolk with part of Essex : two model counties of Conservative politics, agriculture, and attachment to our ancient " institutions in Church and State." Had the outrages been perpetrated in Bungay or Chelmsford or Colchester, how loud and fierce would have been the anathemas directed against sectarian criminality and radical disorganisation,—Wesleyan indifference to the moral welfare of its congregations, and Unita rian laxity in the inculcation of all moral or religious principles ! Truly, the Ipswich calendar, with its useful commentary, distinguishing the partially in structed from the utterly ignorant, hears a grave and memorable record against the ministration and use fulness of the established clergy in that part of the kingdom. It will not be readily forgotten. There are some great public questions, the social interests involved in which command the sympathies of the most bigoted partisans, of all shades of politi cal opinions, in this party-stricken country. We cannot imagine any homage to moral principles —any recognition of their inherent, original influence upon our common nature—more impressive or consolatory. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 19th, from which it appears that the Opposition have given up all thoughts of contesting the elections. It is said, and generally believed, that they will not come forward at all, and leave NARVAEZ and his party to manage affairs in their own way. The Gazette publishes a decree for a levy of 50,000 men, which commences thus :—" Peace happily reigns throughout the whole country. In the Maestrezzo alone there remains the seeds of a rebellion without object. But we must not deceive ourselves ; the partisans of a Prince, and of a system, repudiated by the nation, do not desist from their mad and criminal enterprise. Those who have been conquered at Alicant and at (2arthagena, still meditate the overthrow of the throne of your MAJESTY." It is said that orders had been forwarded to the Captain-General of Saragossa to raise the state of siege ; and to the Governor of Valencia to arrest and bring to trial the officer who shot the Carlist prisoners at Caspe, on the Bth. Are we, then, to infer from this, that the monster who committed ROYAL VICTORIA THEATRE. THIS EVENING JULY 27.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Daylight View of LONDON in the OLDEN TIME! Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrival led production is beyond all &Mier precedent; the artist, the amateur, the ca,ual observer ale all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of deltnea- Lin, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition 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 the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Mondays, Tues dlys, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godf re y, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, brit at the same time 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, has achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect State, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the metropolis.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 27. le4 1 The Commons met at Twelve lock, when the report on the Controverted Elections Bill was re- ceived. The Savings Banks Bill passed through Commit tee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Monday On the order of the day being read for the third F rcading of the Poor-law Amendment Bill, Colonel SIBTIIORP gave notice that on Monday he would move that the salaries of the Commissioners be 1,0001. each, and the salaries of the Assistant-Commissioners be 4001. each. Some speeches were made on the motion for the third reading of the Bill, but they re quire no particular notice. The Bill was read a third time and passed. The Turnpike Trust Bill, the Joint-Stock Banks Regulation Bill, and some other Bills of less impor • tance, were read a third time and passed. The Merchant Seamen's Bill is to be committed on Monday. The House adjourned at; a Quarter-past Nine In this fortunate, but limited class of questions, we may assign a prominent position to that of the aboli tion of the slave trade. It will be remembered, no doubt to the latest posterity, that the voice of party hostility was hushed—that the enmities of political antagonism were suspended—when a Liberal Go vernment appealed to the British public for the most enormous money contribution ever tendered at one time, and by one act, as a voluntary oblation on the, altar of human freedom. Yet even that costly offering of 20,000,0001., so confidently proposed to the English Legislature, and so promptly sanc tioned—and so freely and cordially conceded by the English people in 1833 was little more than we had already sacrificed in the same righteous cause, from the period of the first generous labours of GRANVILLE SHARPE, and CLARKSON, and WILBER-. FORCE, to the commencement of the reign of his late Majesty King WILLIAM IV. The expenses of the naval force we maintained and employed, and the machinery we had to provide and set in motion for carrying out the stipulations of our treaties with va rious Powers on this subject; the cost of our staff upon the mixed commissions established in confor mity with those treaties ; the cost of our Sierra Leone establishment, &c. &c., have amounted to an aggregate scarcely conceivable by those who have not looked into the history of these proceedings ;—more especially from the date of the declaration of the Al lied Powers against the slave trade, at Vienna, in February, 1815; and in reference to our several con ventions with Spain, in 1817 ; with the Netherlands in 1819 ; with Brazil, in 1828, &c. &c. We have perused, with less surprise than pleasure, the interesting statement submitted to the House of Lords on Thursday evening last, by the Earl of ABERDEEN, and the congratulations tendered to him by Noble Peers from all sides of the House, relative to the revised code of instructions which the Foreign Secretary has caused to be prepared for the instruc tion of naval officers commanding her MAJESTY'S cruisers and vessels of war employed in the suppres sion of the slave-trade. Lord ABERDEEN, after com menting on the insufficiency of the existing "in structions" to officers on this arduous service —(it having been customary to supply them merely with literal copies of the various, original, and supplemen tary treaties relating to slave-trading, from time to time contracted between this country and other Powers, leaving to these commanders the responsible and difficult task of forming their unaided judg ment on the construction of the text in many difficult emergencies which, though varying by appa rently very slight differences of circumstances might be determinable in very broadly differing principles of national law)—expressed his unfeigned astonishmen, at the general discretion, sagacity, and good sense with which our naval officers had acted in their reading of these treaties. The number of these treaties, he re marked, was not less than thirty ; and the revision of their various stipulations, powers, &c., and the draw ing up of the new code of instructions which it was thought just and expedient to found upon them, with a view to the better guidance of these naval officers, had been confided to Dr. LUSHINGTON, Judge of the Court of Admiralty, Dr. ROTIIERY (a Civilian of Doctors' Commons), Captain DENMAN, R.N., and Mr. BARDINEL, of the Foreign-office, (so well and, honourably known for his reports and official papers in connexion with the slave trade). Their " instruc tions," after receiving the careful considera tion of Government, had been examined, amended, and confirmed by the law officers of the Crown, and were now brought forward for the information and sanction of Parliament. The speech of the Earl of ABERDEEN was remarkable for some points of peculiar interest, independently of their con nection with this question of slavery. In alluding to the satisfaction of her MAJESTY'S Government at the opportunity thus afforded them of making public the character and bearing of the instructions given to our cruisers, the Noble Earl administered this digni fied and calm rebuke to the suspicious petulance of our French defamers :—" Her MAJESTY'S Ministers," he said, "felt that, as they had nothing to conceal, this general publicity was desirable, and they felt that that would afford the best refutation of those calumnious and false assertions and accusations which had been made against the conduct of that country in suppressing the slave-trade —that under the pre• text of humanity they really sought the extension of their own commerce, while they crippled and impeded that of other countries." In the short account he gave of the statistics of slave exportation from the coast of Africa, from 1768 (whence our first trustworthy accounts may be said to date) to 1843, we find the appalling statement that fur many years it averaged 100,000 annually; and From 1835 to 1840, the same number to Brazil and Cuba alone. It had latterly much declined. In 1842, Cuba and Brazil included, it had fallen to 17,000, though in 1843 it had risen again to 36,000. Whilst he showed that during the enlightened and prosperous government of General VALDEZ for Spain, in Cuba, the slave importations had prodigi ously declined, owing to that enlightened officer, consistent discouragement of the traffic, he apprised the House of a very contrary policy, which we blush to record as having guided the councils of ESPARTERO during his tenure of all but supreme power in Spain. The whole passage is a remarkable one : " He had stated, on a former occasion, and he believed with truth, that had General Valdez remained in the government of the island, and continued to receive the support and confidence of the Government at home, the slave trade would have been annihilated in that island. He must observe that the Government of the Regent, although well disposed to the abolition of the slave trade, did not support Ge nera l V a ld ez at the close of his ad ministration. On the contrary, he received very positive orders to relax in his endeavours for the suppression of that traffic." Lord ABERDEEN, we are glad to perceive, renders ample justice to the active co- operation of the naval forces of the United States with our own, in watching and repressing the trade on the coasts of Africa ; and to the good faith with which France, and Portugal, in a remarkable manner, have lately been redeeming their engagements to us on this head. Of the duplicity of Spain, and the contumacy of Brazil, Lord ABER DEEN speaks in very intelligible terms of displeasure and reprobation. He intimates, too, a tolerably dis tinct purpose of compelling them, if they show a dis position to persist in their shameless violation of the faith of treaties, to yield to graver and more stringent powers than those of State papers, what they obsti nately deny to the impulses of shame on their own parts, and the weight of remonstrances upon ours. Surely Spain forgets the precarious tenure of her colonial sovereignty in Porto Rico, and the Govern ment of Brazil must have forgotten what was the species of danger apprehended by that old Roman who successfully opposed the insidious proposition for registering, by a census, the numerical amount of slave population which then existed within the pre cinct of the Eternal City ? Both Powers may yet do well to note, deliberately, the opinions expressed by a leading Member of the British Government : " The change which had taken place in Cuba, and the conduct of the local authorities in Brazil, were topics on which he was unwilling to express his real sentiments; but these States should recollect that we had treaties with them on that subject; that they had entered into engagements with us, and had thereby placed themselves under obligations as binding, as strong, as though they had ceded to us towns and provinces. We had achieved a conquest of humanity, and were as much entitled to enjoy the fruits of that conquest as of any other. Those treaties they must be prepared to full, and he trusted that means would be found to see that they should be executed honestly and faithfully at last. He had no hesitation in saying that if the Governments of Brazil and Spain would,` for two or three years, execute faithfully, honestly, and zealously those treaties, the trade would be absolutely at an end." these atrocities acted without orders from head quarters ? The Three per Cents, were done at 26i- for cash, 26a at sixty days; and the Fives at 20a for the 26th of August. The only articles of the least interest in the Paris papers relate to the affairs of Morocco, and particularly to the late operations of Marshal BucicAup against the Moorish troops. A general belief prevailed, that as the Marshal had returned a third time to his former position on the frontier, he would be unable to penetrate through the desert to Fez; and all, therefore, would depend on the fleet under the Prince DE JOINVILLE. The National gives the following ac count of the state of affairs in that quarter:— "Marshal Bugeaud is at the head of 8,000 men, in the vicinity of Ouchda. Before him is, in perpetual movement, this little Moorish army, composed of regular troops, or of fanatics, excited by Alai-el-Fader. Three defeats have not discouraged them, and the more con cession the Emperor is willing to make, the more they are excited in the name of the Koran. On the whole, the influence of Abd-el-Kader commands 3,000 men. Marshal Bugeaud, of course, does not dread these hordes of barbarians that our brave troops make fly before them, but he does not move forward. When attacked, he repels the enemy ; he then returns to his camp, until the same game again commences. Why then does he not advance, penetrate as far as Fez, and spread the terror of our arms throughout the whole em pire ? Six weeks ago, all that was very possible, but now the season is too far advanced, the great heats are insupportable ; in spite of all precautions, our soldiers sink beneath an atmosphere of fire. To reach Fez we must march 70 leagues, without a drop of water. "We must wait, b u t wa i ting has also its perils. In decision is defeat in the opinion of the Arabs. Until when are we to wait ? Until the autumn commences, and brings on its rains, which render all movement im possible. In short, we must postpone all operations till the spring. " The sea remains, however, open to us ; but has not M. Guizot declared at the Luxembourg that he would neither touch Tangier nor Tetuan. Is it England that prevents him ? No doubt it is ; but will England inter dict Spain, Sweden, and Sardinia ? Is it only against us that her orders are directed ? " We are, therefore, for some time to come to expect nothing from Marshal Bugeaud. It is to the squadron commanded by the Prince de Joinville that we are to look for offensive operations." It appears from the Journal des Debuts that on the .9th a grand entertainment was given by Sir ROBERT WasoN, on board the Warspite •at Gibraltar, to the Prince DE JOINVILLE. The whole of the civil, mili tary, and naval authorities, the persons of distinction and note in Gibraltar, and the officers of foreign ships of war in the bay, were present. The Prince was re ceived on board by Sir R. WusoN and the Captain of the ship, with the utmost cordiality, and the manner and address of his Royal Highness excited the admiration of the whole company. On leaving the Warspite to return to the Pluton, the Prince was saluted with 21 guns. On the 10th his Royal Highness and his aides-de-camp dined with the Governor, who sent his own carriages to convey them, on landing, to the Go vernment House. The same journal confirms the re port that arrests had been made at Neuilly, but it appears they were not of a political character. We regret to learn from these papers that no doubt remains as to the fate of Colonel STODDART and Cap tain CONOLLY. Colonel SHEIL had received a letter from Dr. WOLFF, announcing the melancholy fact, that our unfortunate countrymen were executed at Bokhara in June or July, 1842. The following is the official programme for the celebration of the anniversary of the Revolution of July, at Paris :—On Saturday, 27th, funeral services in memory of the citizens who died in 1830, in defence of the laws and liberty, will be celebrated in the various places of public worship. A special ser vice will be performed in the Church of St. Paul, during which the standards on the Pont Neuf will be veiled with crape.—On the 28th, relief will be dis tributed at the homes of the indigent of the various arrondissemens.—On Monday, the 29th, salvos of artillery will be fired, at the Hotel des Invalides, at six in the morning and six in the evening. On the esplanade of the Invalides and the Barriere-du-Treme, from two o'clock till night, there will be representa tion:: of military pantomimes, orchestras for dancing, and May-poles with prizes.

The most interesting piece of information brought by the Levant mail, and it is one which will be deplored throughout England, is the confirmation of our worst fears with regard to the fate of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly. It is with deep regret we have to an nounce that the death of both these gallant officers is at length put beyond a doubt. They were executed at Bokhara in the month of June, 1842. The object of Dr. Wolff being thus unhappily ended, the reverend gentleman was to leave Bokhara towards the end of May, on his way to Europe. The following letter, dated Constantinople, July 7, is published in the Malta Times "We have just received positive intelligence as to the re sult of Dr. Wolff's mission to Bokhara. Colonel Sheil states, in a letter under date of the Bth of June, from Teheran, that dispatches have arrived from Dr. Wolff, in which he writes that Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly were both of them publicly executed, in June or July, 1842. The Doctor him self thanks to the lett ers w i t h wh i ch he had been fur n i s h e d at Constantinople, was courteously received by the Khan of Bokhara, and was to have left that place on the 10th of June. The mystery that hung over the fate of these unfor tunate gentlemen has thus been finally dispelled. Their friends will now know the worst; and even that, perhaps, is better than the painful uncertainty they have so long expe rienced on the subject." A ALEXANDRIA, 6TH JULY, 1844.—Sir Henry Har dinge, who left Alexandria on the 25th of June, reached Cairo on the following day, and remained there to visit the lions of that c i ty, the Pyramids, &c., until the evening of the 28th, wh en hi s Excellency started far Suez in a britzska and six horses, and crossed the desert in the extraordina r ily short space of t we l ve h ours. On the morn i ng of the 29th, his Excellency embarked on board the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Hindostan, which sailed at ten o'clock that day for Madras and Calcutta. Besides Sir Henry Hardinge, his son, and Major Wood, there were very few passengers on board the Hindostan. The Pacha, who professes to have found Sir Henry Hardinge one of the most amiable and talented men he ever conversed with, has said, that his Excellency mentioned to him that the British Go vernment was very desirous of placing the transit of the India mail through Egypt on a secure footing, and that he replied, that the mails are, and always have been, the object of his special care; and that he considered his honour inte rested in their safe conveyance; but that if the French Government particularly wished to come to some under standing with him on the sabject, he would be very happy to do anything in his power to meet their views. Sir Henry Hardinge then announced, that in such a case a person would come out to Egypt on the part of the British Govern ment to treat with his Highness. Mehemet Ali has ordered a British mineralogist to be engaged for him in London, to come out to Egypt for the purpose of making researches for coal. The mission of Prussian savans, under Dr. Lepsius, was at Gebel Barkal in the beginning of June, all well, and was on the point of proceeding to Dongola, whence it expected to be ba c k a t Th e b es in September. Her Majesty's steamer Geyser left for B eyrout and the coast of Syria on the 4th inst. Th e water of the Nile continuing .to be very low, but little produce i s lik e l y to reach Alexan d ria f or some weeks to come, especially as a large party of soldiers is at present en gaged in cleaning and deepening different parts of the Mah moudieh canal, consequently trade is unusually flat. The Pacha has upwards of 40,000 bales of cotton in his stores, which he does not intend to sell until he can realise ten dollars a canter for it, the present price being from eight to nine dollars. UNEXAMPLED FEAT AT CRICKET.—At a match of cricket last week at Boxted, between that club and the Bentley, 1111% John Almond, jun , one of the Bentley bowlers, had the go o d f ortune to put out .the whole side of the Boxted gentlemen by his own hand, in the following manner :—viz. by bowling d own seven wickets, two catches, and stamping one. This feat i s, we believe, unparalleled in the annals Qf cricketing.—Cheincvird Gimmick. THIS DAY'S NEWS LLOYD'S SHIPPENTG.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, JULY 27.—Wind NAV., light breeze and fine.

UNION-HALL. -(THIS DAY.) Frederick Moss, a Dutchman, was charged with stealing a watch and a gold ring, the property of John Korff, the master of a Dutch galliot ; and Henry Martin, a waterman, was charged with receiving the articles, knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared Moss caine over a passenger in Korff's vessel from Rotterdam, and that on the passage he stole the watch aad ring from tho, captain's cabin. The vessel having arrived in the river, Moss went ashore, and went into a public-house, where he met the other prisoner, and they fell into conversation. Illoss, want ing to pay for some liquor, tendered a Dutch coin, which was refused by the landlord, when Martin proposed to raise money on the watch of his fellow-prisoner, and, with his consent, took it to a pawnbroker's and pledged it and the ring, but instead of delivering the tickets to Moss, he kept them himself. As soon as the Dutchman was in possession of the money, the produce of the articles, he began to drink at such a rate that he fell off the seat, in which condition he was picked up and taken to the sta tion-house, where he was subsequently found by Korff, the owner of the watch and ring, and given into custody. Martin, the other prisoner, afterwards redeemed the articles himself, and had them in his possession when he was taken into custody. Mr. TRAIL', on being apprised that Martin's wife had the stolen articles at home, she was sent for to produce them, and, in the meantime, the prisoners were put back until her arrival. UXBRIDGE YEOMANRY.—The Uxbridge yeomanry, under the command of Hubert De Burgh, Esq., were in spected by Major Lawrenson, of the 17th Lancers, on Tues day last, on Uxbridge-common, and performed their duties in so efficient a manner as to call forth the decided approba tion of that gallant officer. On their return to Uxbridge, after the duties of the morning, an excellent dinner was pre pared at the White Horse Inn, to which about eighty of the members sat down, Captain De Burgh taking the head of the centre table, and Lieutenants Cox and Newdegate presiding at other tables. The band performed a variety of pleasing airs; and the party passed a pleasant evening. The splendid picture of his Grace the Duke of Wellington in consultation with his officers previous to a general engagement, was brought to the hammer on Wed nesday, at Messrs. Foster's auction gallery, Pall-mall. A great number of persons attended. The auctioneer, having stated the conditions of sale, said this celebrated picture was pronounced by the whole of the press to be the chef d'ceuere of the late Mr. Heaphy, containing, as it did, faithful likenesses of the Duke of Wellington and the principal officers engaged in the Peninsular war. That work was painted expressly for his late Majesty George IV., for the stipulated sum of 1,400 guineas. The artist was with the army in Spain for about eighteen months, for the purpose of taking the portraits for this great work. On his return to this country he was employed upon it for a period of nearly three years. The late J. A. Smith, A.R.A., was engaged by the artist to make the well-known engraving therefrom, but the engraver's death happening before the plate was entirely finished, prevented Mr. Heaphy com pleting this inimit a bl e performance until after the demise of his Royal employer. After wishing that the picture might be bought for one of our national institutions, the auctioneer said there was not the slightest reservation placed upon it, and sold it must be, no matter how great the sacrifice. An offer of 501. was then made, and after six' more biddings it was knocked down to a Mrs. Kean, of Green-street, Lei cester-square, for 85 guineas. The engraved copper-plate from the above, with 448 impressions, together with the copper-plate key, were knocked down to Mr. M'Lean, of the Haymarket, for 175 guineas. TITHES ON Rathways.—ln his evidence before the Select Committee, Mr. Richard Jones, one of the Commis sioners under the Tithe Commutation Act, stated that there had been a difficulty in respect of a few railways —the Great Western, and Lancaster and Preston in particular—in reco vering tithe rent charges, the objection being not so such to the amount, which it was stated had never, in a rural parish, exceeded 121., but to the principle of the charge. Where there Is a station in a parish, there is no difficulty, for the tithe-owners can distrain on the coals and furniture. • In parishes, however, where there is no station, there is under the existing law no remedy. The party cannot seize the rails they being fix tures, nor can he take possession of the railwa which is a public thoroughfare. It seems, however, from y, Mr. Jones's evidence, that the tithe-owner has " various ways of torment ing " the companies. " The tithe-owner (added the wit ness) may lay hold of the banks of the railway; he may say that the men shall not come to do any repairs." It was farther stated that in one case a tithe-owner proposed, but was dissuaded from, taking possession of a railway, and putting up false signals !—Railway Record.

The information that a treaty has been at last signed be tween this country and Hanover, by which the long-disputed questions relative to the Stade Duties, have been settled, has given general satisfaction to mercantile men who are interested in the matter in this metropolis. It is also to be remarked, that the duties in future to be imposed upon our manufac tures, &c., are fully as liberal as was anticipated. No doubt, under the new system, there will be a large commercial inter course between this country and Hanover, and through it with the other large and important mercantile towns on the Continent. In this way, it is more than probable, that the restrictive policy which is still upheld, may be ameliorated, and that the principles of liberalism, which have been com menced by us, will be extended among the European codes of duties.

LORD ROSSE'S TELESCOPE.— We are informed by a Rev. Gentleman who lately visited Birr Castle, and expe rienced the courteous attention of its noble owner, in being conducted by his Lo r d s hip th roug h hi s extens i ve workshops, and in a minute examination of the " monster" telescope—a stupendous monument of scientific skill and mechanical contrivance —that the colossal tube, in length above fifty feet, and in diameter nearly eight feet, is now suspended in its permanent position, between the two walls of solid masonry, built to correspond with the architecture of the castle. It is attached at its lower extremity—where the speculum, weighing four tons, is to be placed—by a massive universal joint of beautiful workmanship, and weighing nearly three tons ; and its counterpoise, about seven tons weight, is so skilkfully contrived and adjusted that it easily adapts itself to every alteration in any required elevation or depression of the instrument. At the time of our informant's visit, the speculum was in the actual process of being ground, which, together with the subsequent polishing, would oc cupy, perhaps, a fortnight —so that, in about a. month or six weeks from the present time, the public anxiety will, pro bably, be gratified in learning the first results, upon which it is impossible to calculate, of an undertaking witlich, we may confidently expect, will redound no less to our r rational ho nour, than it already does to the acknowledged talents and munificent liberality of the patriotic and noble TroPrietiare••• Belfast Ei m 1511 ra ill NEWS AN D Vtth'iit Opinion.
