SUMMER ASSIZES. ROME ClRCUlT—Chelmsford, July 19. The business on the Civil Side concluded about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and Mr. Baron Gurney then proceeded to assist in trying the prisoners. The following cases were disposed of late on Thursday. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Abraham Thurgood, 57, labourer, was indicted for the manslaughter of his wife, Mary Anne Thurgood, by kicking her in a most brutal manner. _ It appeared from the evidence; that the prisoner and the deceased, and a son of the latter by a former husband, occupied a cottage at Wickham Bishops, in this county. On the 16th of March the son went to bed about nine o'clock, leaving the pri soner and the deceased in the lower room, and in a short time he heard a noise, as if per sons were scuffling below. Soon afterwards he heard a shriek, and heard his mother, who appeared to be out of doors, say to the prisoner, " For God's sake, Thurgood, let mein, I shall die." He got up, and the door was opened ;* and, when the deceased was let in, she complained of severe suffering • and upon a surgeon being sent for, it was found that she had received a'most dreadful injury upon the lower part of her person. It was suggested on behalf of the prisoner that the de ceased had accidentally fallen upon the scraper at the door, and so received the injury, but the surgeon ex pressed his opinion that it would be much more likely to be inflicted by a kick from a man's heavy boot. There was, however, no distinct proof that the prisoner had in flicted the injury. Mr. Baron PAaKE -having summed up, the jury re turned a verdict of Not Guilty. John Hardy, 11, was indicted for feloniously setting fire to a stack of straw, the property of Frederick Charles Fitch, at Steeple Bnmpstead. Mr. Itodwell prosecuted, and Mr. Marsh appeared for the prisoner. This case was'one of a somewhat similar character to hat disposed of on Wednesday, with this difference, that he prisoner, when he was taken into custody, said that zis master had beaten him, and that he committed the act revenge himself. The jury found him Guilty. Judgment was respited. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Cambridge, July 18. The Learned Judges arrived in Cambridge this evening, and, attended by the High Sheriff, proceeded to Trinity College Lodge, where, time out of mind, the Judges have had their abode (and where the Master himself is but their guest) during the time they hold their courts in Cambridge by virtue of the Queen's commission. The lodge has under gone very extensive alterations and improvements both within and without during the last two years, at the sole ex pense, it is said, of Mr. Hope, who is a member of the Col lege ; and it is now a residence worthy to receive her Majesty, or her representatives, the Judges. The cause list is meagre, there being six causes only en tered for trial ; one of them is an action for alleged crim. con., brought by Sambo Sutton, the well-known black pugilist, against a builder and brickmaker living in the town. The calendar of prisoners presents rather a formidable ap pearance, there being 35 prisoners for trial, of whom eight are charged with arson, six with burglary, and five with highway robbery. There is also a case for trial in which a surgeon is accused of manslaughter; it is not mentioned in the calendar. It is the custom in this county to enumerate in the calen dar the property found on the prisoners on their apprehen sion, "or seized as belonging or believed to belong to them." In the present calendar the entire money found on or be lieved to belong to the 35 prisoners amounts to the sum of 17s. 10d., in which are included two sums of 7s. 10d. and 3s. 9d, which appear to be portions of the property the par ties are accused of having stolen, which being deducted, leaves the hum of 20. for each of the prisoners.

Quinn, and Daniel Donovan, were in dicted, with a person named 11.1' Cann, who was not in cus tody. for the wilfal murder of Benjamin Gott, at Bradford. Mr. Buss stated to the jury that on Whit-Monday there had been an Orange Lodge procession in Bradford, which was accompanied by a band, who were attacked by a mob, among whom were the prisoners, when Benjamin Gott, one of its members, was killed. Thomas Thornton—ls one of the Idle and Calrerly band. Benjamin Gott was one. On Whit-Monday he went to play for an Orange Lodge at Bradford. We met at Bradford= moor, and played by ourelves till we got to Steetin-lane, one mile and a half from Bradford. The lodge met us there. We then went through Bradford to Horton and Thornton ; broke up at Thornton and returned to Bradford. We did ` not play at Thornton till we came to Bradford ; we then % played down Westgate, and near the Royal Oak a man made a bit of confusion, and stopped the drum. Plenty more were near. The tune was " The Huddersfield quick step." We had played the " Boyne Water" in Bradford at noon, when we first went through. Nobody stopped but me and the drum. I played the keyed bugle. I and the drummer. afterwards went forward. We played another tune, called the " Trumpet quick step." We went on to the Church-bridge, and there we gave up playing. We then went by Church-bank, up Backer-end to Undercliff, just out of Bradford. This was our straight road home. A party followed us up from behind. He who had attacked the drummer was first ; he had a yellow walking-stick. He struck Charles Naylor, the Bradford old band drummer. He was again with us without his drum. He struck Naylor very hard three or four times. I made my escape ; and looking behind, I saw Jonathan Thorps, the Undercliff con stable. He said, " Let us find them out." Before I got across the road I was knocked down first with fists, and then with sticks. I was felled seven times within a yard or two of Benjamin Gott. There were a good many at him on the ground. I saw them strike him several times with shillelahs. heard him cry out the first blow I saw him get. lie was on the ground. I saw a man with a stone in his hand ; he plashed it down. I could not see if it hit him, so many were round. I made my escape. I was leaning over a garden wall, about fifty yards oft; bleeding, and some came past me with Gott. I saw him afterwards dead. Cross-examined by Mr. HEATON—There was another band with us. Several lodges and two bands went together. One band led the procession, the other went behind. We played the " Boyne Water" only once. Old tunes are often pub lished with new names. Our band was - thirteen, the other seventeen in number. The procession might be 200. It was a holiday in Bradford. I saw no excitement. I have played many a time through Bradford. I saw no difference then to other days. The streets were crowded. Cross-examined by Mr. Wiuuxs—Only one of the band was an Orangeman. The music played was given by the Orange Lodge to the band to play. There were three or four Orange flags. I heard no groaning and hooting at the people by the procession. After the stone was thrown at the drum it was kicked. It was knocked nearly all to pieces. A great many persons struck Gott. I could not tell any of them but BlCann. He struck with the yellow walking stick thick and heavy. We also played " Hearts of Oak," ' and the "Lion quick step." Neither of them is " Croppies lie down." Re-examined by Mr. Buss—The band were in uniform, but each band different uniforms. The other band was from Wilderdon. I only judge the man with the yellow stick to be ➢l`Cann by the description of him. The man who lifted the stone was not 111.‘Cann.

The funeral of this lamented gentleman took place, yesterday, at Bunhill-fields burial ground. It was strictly private, and confined to thi family and relations of the deceased. His numerous friends and political admirers were anxious to testifty their respect fur his many virtues by giving him a public funeral, but his known unostentatious character, and the retiring modesty of his widow, led the family to decline the proffered honour. The late Mr. Travers was 57 years of age. He was born in the City, and was the son of Joseph Travers, one of the partners in the house of Smith, Kemble, and Travers, which house has now been established upwards of 120 years. Mr. Travers was educated at Hyham Lodge, Wal thamstow, and was taken into partnership by his father, about the year 1813. Some time afterwards the part nership of Smith, Kemble, and Travers was dissolved, Messrs. Smith and Kemble removing to Philpot-lane, and Mr. Travers. and his son, the late John Travers, continuing the business in St. Swithin's-lane. Mr. Travers, in 1821, married the daughter of the late Rev. Dr. Lindsay, formerly minister of Monkwell street Chapel. By this lady, who survives, he had a nu merous family. By the death of the elder Mr. Travers, which occur red in 1821, the late Mr. Travers succeeded to the busi ness, and became the head of the firm, which he con ducted with singular ability, and with that openness and high integrity of purpose which gained him not only the respect, but we may venture to say the personal affection of his numerous customers, as well as of those rho were his competitors in trade. It is unnecessary, to say that under his fostering care the titiattOrwas greatly enlarged; and at-the.time of his decease embraced connexion not only throughout Eno.- land, but in many parts of the world. It was conducted with so much regularity and order that notwithstanding its increasing extent ever) thing moved on with perfect ease. The first time that Mr. Travers was called into public life was during the agitation of the Reform Bill, when he presided at a meeting of the inhabitants of his own ward, to petition Parliament to pass that great measure. From that time to the period of his decease he continued the unflinching advocate of the rights of the people, of judicious and temperate reform, of commercial freedom, and of purity of govern ment. As the Chairman of the Committees for the Liberal candidates in the City of London, he, by the suavity of his manners, conciliated his opponents, and attracted and secured his friends. Nor did he confine himself to giving up a large share of his most valuable time to the public, but with a generous liberality, he contributed largely to defray the legal expenses of the various elections, and to the support of those societies which had for their object the promotion of purity of election and the security of the rights of those entitled to vote. In him, therefore, the popular cause has lost its most earnest, liberal, and constant leader. Neither was he less eminent in private virtues. In the bosom of his family, and amidst the circle of attached friends, his kindness and sportiveness of manner, his un affected attention to remove the asperities of life, and his anxious desire to impart happiness to all, were con santly displayed. The various charities of this great metropolis found in him a liberal benefactor, and the many young men whom he put into business or assisted in their early struggles to gain a living, will testify that, privately as well as publicly, he never forgot to do good, and to com municate to others a portion of that wealth he had obtained by his untiring industry. Though his death was as sudden as it was lamented, yet a post mortem examination of his remains demon strated that the seeds of death had been long planted. His brain was nearly double the weight and size of ordi nary men, but it was evident that it had been long dis eased, and that only a portion of it had for some months performed its vital functions. We understand that, though the family declined the offer of a public funeral, yet the numerous personal friends and political admirers of the deceased intend to meet early to decide upon some mode of perpetuating their sense of departed worth, in order that the living may be induced to imitate so noble an example. KING'S COUNTY ASSlZES.—Tullamore, Julyl7. MURDER or LORD NORBERT. The Commission was opened here to-day by Mr. Justice Crampton. The calender is by no means heavy, but there are two cases of a very im portaht character to be tried—the first is that for the murder of Lord Norbury, which our readers will recollect took place upwards of five years ago. The Solicitor-General is here on the part of the Crown, and every preparation has been made for proceeding wth the trial, which will take place to-mor row. There are tw• persons accused, one named Gill, and the other Dolan, the latter as the principal, and the former as ac cessory before the fact ; both were in the employment of his Lordship at the time the murder was perpetrated. Mr. Sander- - son, the steward, who was with Lord Norbury when the fatal shot was fired, has arrived here from Scotland, and is to be examined as a witness. Several members of the Norbury family have arrived here from England for the purpose of being also examined as witnesses if necessary. The bills against the accused were found at the last assizes, and they should be either tried or discharged on the present occasion. Those engaged for the Crown say that they are certain of a conviction. The other principal case to be tried is that of a police serjeant named Ogle, who is charged with having caused riband papers to be put into the pocket of a person named M'Laughlan, at a wake in Shinrone, and then endeavouring to prosecute him to conviction, at the last assizes for this county. There are several other persons to be tried with him as accomplices, and the case, as well as that for the murder of Lord Norbury, has excited great interest not only here but throughout the country generally. ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.—COMMITTAL OF TIIE ACCUSED.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING.—This after noon, at half-past two o'clock, a special bench of magis trates, consisting of Robert Blunt, Esq. (Mayor), and Robert T ebbott and William Leegh, Esqrs., assembled at the Town hall, for the purpose of investigating a charge of robbery preferred by the Crown against a decent looking married woman, named Eliza Blandy, who had been occasionally engaged as charwoman in the stores department in the Winchester Tower, at the Castle. The prisoner, whose hus band is a bricklayer, was charged with having stolen from the Castle a large scroll of solid silver, weighing twenty-one ounces, being part of the splendid silver table which was presented to William 111. by the Corporation of the City of London. Mr. C. S. Voules, solicitor, of Windsor, conducted the case on the part of the Crown ; and Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, appeared for the prisoner. The Hon. C. Murray, the Master of the llousehold, was present to watch the proceedings. Mr. Voules stated that the prisoner was charged with having feloniously stolen and taken away from Wmilsor Castle a large piece of solid silver, belonging to a table given by the City of London to William the Third, and which had been•removed from the Queen's closet (one of the state apartMents), to the stores in the Winchester Tower, upon the visit of the King .of Prussia to her Majesty in Jan., 1842. Mr. Voules having further observed that as the pro perty was stolen from within 'the precincts of Windsor Castle, and that as a question might thereupon arise as to the jurisdiction of the borough magistrates, he would refer the bench to the 7th of Geo. 111., cap. 64, and the 7th and.Bth of ' Geo. IV., cap. 29, from which it was clear the ease was within the jurisdiction of the bench. Mr. Voules then called, several witnesses. The prisoner was fully committed to take her trial for the felony. The proceedings occupied upwards of far liar& SINGULAR DEATH FROM LOCK-JAW.—A fine young man, named Benjamin Hart, about 26 years of age, residing at Homerton, met with an accident which suddenly resulted in a fatal attack of lock-jaw. The poor fellow, it appears, - whilst at his work yesterday week, accidentally trod on a nail, which entered the heel of his foot. He, however, soon removed it, and thought no more of the in•. jury, and continued at his employment until the following Monday, when he was seized with a violent pain in the leg on which he had received the hurt, and which affected the whole of his frame. With all dispatch he was conveyed to his dwelling, when the symptoms became more alarming. Tetanus, or lock-law, set in on the following day, and he lingered in the greatest suffering until Wednesday, when he expired. ,/___ .--• . ~~,~~~ , t',....,.. ; ,••••.••- ;--•'''•'` . -4.1" , :t4;:.....•--, _..'2 . , 14114"14 .• i 7 ••:' ..m.. , ...,,,...„..; .3. 4 , ... t t' ' li4l. - ' ' N_._-1- , --0- :44' ft• i -A,.. ~,.. ~, . ~ ~ ~ ... .4" , .. \ c ~,,.., ~,i , OA , ~ ~ 0 ...,,„ iK , ;..,„ , ... . , • ,-•;,- NIX*. , L , , ,:,, ~, e ,- -,- - • \ • 0 I% ' , 7,' - '.'-- . 0 -0 , -- •:,,, 6,;;;' , .

Yesterday bail was tendered for John Alves, the parson detained on a charge preferred by Lord Charles Fitzroy, of having defrauded him of two promissory notes of 1,000/. each, the full particulars of which appeared in this journal on: Wed nesday last. The solicitor who attended for Alves told Mr. Hardwick that the usual notice had been given to Mr. Watkins, the solicitor of Lord Charles Fitzroy, and no objection had b4n made to the person he now tendered. William Leech, lodginghouse-keeper, 26, Michael's-place, Brompton, and Mr. Robert Bignall, bootmaker, 2, Panton street, came forward and respectively swore themselves worth 2501. after all their debts were paid. They then en tered into the customary recognizances. Alves, who had also entered into his own surety of 5001., when asked what he was and where he lived, said he was a general agent, and lived at 24, Piccadilly. In the report of the first proceedings against the prisoner an omission occurred. When Mr. Clarkson stated that Alves had never been'seen again at 24, Piccadilly, where he rented a room, after he had obtained the notes from Lord Charles Fitzroy, the prisoner Alves denied that this was correct, and asserted that he fiad never left the place, but, up to the time of his apprehension, continued to receive letters and to occupy the rooms at 24, Piccadilly. The solicitor for the accused told Mr. Hardwick that be had a complete answer to the criminal portion of the charge. Lord Charles Fitzroy (who has been sued for the amount of one of the bills) had filed a bill of discovery and relief against the holder of the security. Now, the third section of the Act expressly declared, that while such a suit was pending no criminal proceedings could take place. This was a point which would be pressed on Monday next when the accused would appear for re-examination. It may be of use to draw attention to the extremely am biguous and incomplete state of the law with respect to bill discounting and transactions of a similar nature. It is only where directions are given in writing that a person entrusted with bills to get discounted, or securities to raise ,money upon, can be prosetuted, if he plunders his employer of the proceeds of the bill or security. The law is silent with re spect to verbal directions ; and as this enormous oversight in the law.is well known to the gang of bill-swindlers, they take care to shape their transactions with those who may be foolish - enough to employ them in such a way as to take themselves out of the operation of the law. In the case of Alves a nice legal question arises. Lord Charles Fitzroy gave no written directions himself respecting his promissory notes, but he received an acknowledg ment in writing from Alves of the receipt of the notes, and a written declaration that the notes were to be dis counted, and the money, less the discount, handed over on the following Friday. Hence arises this point. Is the writ• ten acknowledgment from Alves such " directions in writ ing" as brings the ease within the meaning of the Act ? The only way to convert this writing into written directions is to assume that Alves was the agent of Lord Charles Fitzroy, and that as Lord Charles's agent he wrote the acknowledg ment in question with Lord Charles's sanction, and under his implied direction. If the point should be overruled, and if it should be decided that the " directions in writing" mean directions in writing from the principal, then Alves will walk out of Court free from penal consequences, leaving his Lord ship to pay the piper. If it is determined otherwise, then Alves will have to answer an indictment for an offence which is visited with transportation. Loss or AN EMIGRANT SHlP.—Early intelligence has been received from Sydney, C. 8., concerning the loss of the Sir George Prevost emigrant ship, on a reef of rocks to the westward of Garberus, which but for the moderate state of the weather, might have termi nated in a fearful sacrifice of human life, she having upwards of 160 souls on board. Th 9 unfortunate vessel, which was a fine large ship, 600 tons burden, and com manded by Captain Savage, left the port of Newry, in Ireland, in the fore part of the present year, with nearly the above number of emigrants and a mis cellaneous cargo. The voyage across the Atlantic was as favourable as could be expected, when on nearing the coast off Garberus on the evening of the 31st of May, it came on a dense fog ; so much so, it is said, that it was almost impossible to discern anything beyond the distance of the vessel. Instead of her being brought up to anchor in such weather, as any other captain might do with such a living freight on board, the ship was allowed to continue her course, and the result was that at about nine o'clock she struck, and ran completely on the reef of rocks, as before-men tioned. The alarm and excitement that instantly pre vailed through the ship amongst the poor emigrants, men, women, and children, was of a most painful and distress ing character, such as can be easily conceived under the circumstances. With much difficulty the captain and chief officers somewhat composed them, and begged of them to keep order and act under his directions when their lives would be presrved. Minute guns of distress were kept firing for several hours, and two vessels arriving near the spot, their boats were lowered, by which, together with those belonging to the Sir George Prevost, the whole of the emigrants and seamen were safely taken off the ill-fated ship and landed. Providentially the wind during the whole of this period kept down ; had it been otherwise the consequences, in all proba bility,.would have been dreadful. At day-break on the following morning she' was lightened, and attempts were made to get her off, but she became firmly fixed, and within 24 'hours was a total wreck. Of the alai-, grants, 102 were conveyed to Ariehat, where they remain under the charge of the proper authorities. The distress that the calamity must entail upon them will be painful in the extreme, having shipped all the property they could raise to insure a comfortable maintenance in the apparent land of promise, and which is all but destroyed. The loss will be great, and the ship is reported to be fully insured. CORONER'S INQUEST.—THE SUICIDE OF Lon) NORTHLAND'S VALET IN THE WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.— An inquest was held last evening in the Westminster Bride well, before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of John Riley, aged 46, late valet to Lord Northland, who committed suicide in the above gaol, by hanging, on the night of Wednesday last. Since his committal to prison on remand from Thurs day week last he had frequently appeared very agitated in his manners, and told his fellow-prisoners that he was innocent of the charge his master had made against him of stealing a 10/. note which was entrusted to him to change. He stated to them that, after it was changed, he gave the money to his Lordehip. When visited by his friends they told him that his master intended to prosecute him with the utmost rigour, and this had a great effect upon him. On Wednesday even ing at a quarter. past six he was locked up in his cell, and appeared more cheerful. Nothing was heard of him in the night, but on his cell door being opened in the morning he was seen suspended by a silk handkerchief to the handle of a bolt, used for the purpose of fastening the window shutter. He was immediately released, and it was then discovered that he had tied a silk handkerchief tightly over his mouth, and another round his ancles. The deceased had been in Lord Northland's service about three years, and was the sole sup-. port of his mother, a poor old woman, near 100 years of age, residing at Malahide, near Dublin. Verdict, " Temporary insanity." ROYAL MARINES.—WOOLWICH, JULY 19.—The half- . yearly inspection of the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines doing duty in the garrison took place to- day. At precisely ten o'clock a.m., Major-General Sir flew D. Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Artillery, with Brigade-Major Cuppage, entered the west square of the Royal Artillery Barracks, where the Royal Marines are at present quartered until the new barracks for that branch of her Majesty's service at Woolwich are completed, and was saluted by the whole of the men drawn up in line under the command of Colonel Parke, C. 8., the band playing the na tional anthem. Sir Hew D. Ross was joined by Col Owen, C.B. and KM., Deputy Adjutant-General of the Royal Ma rines, and Captain Wesley, of the Royal Marine Artillery, who attends at inspections to ascertain if any of the finest men are willing to volunteer for service in the branch of the corps to which he is attached. Major-General Sir. Hew D. Ross, Colonel Parke, Colonel Owen, Captain Wesley, Lieutenant and Adjutant Berney Varlo, and Lieutenant and Quarter master Onslow, then proceeded along the front and up the rear line, and the Major-General minutely inspected the men, and also on their being formed into companies, when two men from each company were selected to show their kits. The interior of the barracks was then inspected, and the -gallant - officers then proceeded to the offices of the regiment at present situate in one of the wings of the Royal Marine Hospital, to examine the books and details connected with the division. Colonel Mercer assumed the command of the men, and they shortly after returned to their quarters. At half-past two o'clock the whole of the men assembled again on the parade ground in front of the Royal Artillery Bar racks, under the command of Colonel Parke, and marched past Major-General Sir Hew D. Ross at slow and quick time, in the presence of Colonel Owen and the officers of the staff. Lieut.-Colonel Coryton then assumed the command, and put the men through the manual and platoon exercises. Colonel Parke resumed the command, and the men went through their manoeuvres in a manner highly creditable to the corps and to the entire satisfaction of the Major-General. Lieut.- Colonel Gibsone was present, although appointed to the Royal Marine Artillery, and will remain until the decision of the Court-martial on Lieut. Louis, of which he is a member, is made known. The defence of Lieut. Louis only occupied a few minutes yesterday, and the Court again adjourned, after stating their decision. THE CITY OF LONDON IRON STEAMER.—This mag nificent steam-ship made her first voyage from Aberdeen to Wapping, off which last-mentioned place, at the Aberdeen.- wharf, she has been lying during the past week, on Saturday last ; she made the voyage in an unusually short space of time, though the wind was adverse, and she bad on board, besides passengers and a cargo of goods, 210 head of cattle, and 700 boxes of salmon. It is intended by the Aberdeen Steam Packet Company, to whom she belongs, and who have laid out upon her 40,0004 that:she shall steam regularly be tween Aberdeen and London. Her burden is upwards of 1,100 tons; she has three masts; from stem to stern she measures 231 feet, and her breadth of beam is 31 feet ; her depth of hold 20 feet; she is a fine model, and remarkably elegant in her appearance. Her engines, which are beam engines, are 430 horse-power, and she has four boilers. She is divided into five parts, water-tight, and secured with great strength, so that in the event of an accident, whereby a leak might be occasioned, four compartments out of the five would be secure, and danger from sinking prevented. Captain Car gill, by whom she is commanded, speaks highly of her powers, her speed, and the ease with which she may be managed. With the exception of the Great Britain, which has not vet been to sea, she is the largest iron steam-ship afloat. 'the interior accommodations are very good, and the ornamental portion of the saloon, the smaller cabins, &c., elegant, and in good taste ; indeed, a finer vessel of her class can hardly be imagined. THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.—The Senate of the University of London have recently come to the resolution of adopting academical costume for the undergraduates and graduates of every degree conferred by that body. No colle giate dress has been hitherto worn by the members of this University. -- jam PARLIAMENTARY DIVI:CIONS,, (Front the rotes and Proceedtngs qf the Haw of Cron"- S• FRIDAY, JULY 19. SUPPLY.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Forth, Captain Chapman, arrived this evening soon after seven o'clock, bringing all the mails. She also brings on freight 301 ounces of bullion, 121 ounces of gold dust, 604 ounces of silver, 177 ounces of platina, and 56 pounds of gold. Her dates of departure are—from Cuba the 18th of June, Jamaica 23d, Jacmel 25th, Porto Rico 27th, St. Thomas's 30th, and Fayal 13th July. The Forth met the Company's steam-ship Actaeon at St. Thomas's; the Tay had left for the Gulf of Mexico ; the Severn to Bermuda ; and the Dee to Demerara. The Trent was at Grenada, and the City of Glasgow at Trinidad.. It appears that the want of rain was still very much felt at Jamaica, and many of the other West India Islands. Dy sentery had alio prevailed to a considerable extent. On board her Majesty's ship Hermes, which was at St. Thomas's, it had been most disastrous, no less than 26 seamen falling a sacrifice. The Forth brings home 64 passengers, amongst whom is Mr. Prebble, purser of the Company's steamer Tay, invalided. We have received a file ofJamaica papers down to the 23d of June, from which we give the following extracts : " Some fine rains have fallen in the St. Andrew's, and Port Royal mountainous districts, but the lowlands still continue dry and dusty, and the thermometer ranges nearly as high as in the month of August, the heat being only relieved by a fiery sea-breeze. " We are happy to learn that in St. Thomas in the East, the seasons have been very favourable for the planter, and there is every hope that with fair encouragement, abundant crops will be reaped."—Jamaica Dispatch, June 20. "A public meeting was held at the Court-house, Titchfield, for the purpose of coming to some resolutions, and to express their views, respecting the all-absorbing question recently proposed by her Majesty's Ministers, of reducing the duties on foreign, and, very probably, slave-grown, sugar and coffee. This movement appears to be simultaneous throughout the island.—Jamaica Dispatch, June 23. LONDON AND BRUSSELS. ' EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH. (From L' Orgeine de Flandres. The Belgian Government has been for some time engaged in a negotiation with the English Government, for the pur pose of establishing a daily post between Ostend an 4 Dover. The subject has been followed up with so much activity, that there is every reason to believe that the railroad from Lon don and those of Belgium and Germany will be placed in per fect communication. On Tuesday last an experiment voyage was made, which was completely successful. The new steam-boat the Prin cess Mary, the property of the Dover and London Railway Company, accomplished the passage between Dover and Os tend in four hours and a half. The Directors of the Dover Railway, M. Barcel, Chief of the Public Works, and M. Drouet, Secretary of the Belgian Legation in England, left London by the Dover Railway, at twenty minutes past six o'clock on Tuesday morning. The train arrived at Dover at fifty 'minutes past eight o'clock, after stopping at Folkestone twelve minutes; the Princess Mary was in readiness, and left Dover at twenty minutes past nine o'clock, and arrived at Ostend at fifty minutes past one o'clock. The Directors of the Dover Railway were there received by M. Masin, the Director of the Belgian Railways ; M. llauchecorne, Director of the Rhenish Railways; M. Cabry, the chief engineer; and M. Chantrell, the inspector. The passage from London to Ostend was thus completed in seven hours and a half, including the embarkation and all stoppages, which, at least, occupied forty minutes. The regular mail, which left Dover at the same time with the Princess Mary, did not reach Ostend till 5 o'clock in the evening. By this conveyance we received in Brussels, at 6 o'clock in the evening, the Times, published in London the same morning. For this extraordinary proof of speed we are indebted to the directors of the Dover and London Rail way, and we offer them our best thanks for their exertions. It is impossible to anticipate the advantages which may arise by extending the operations of the English railways to those of Belgium and Germany. The third edition of the Brussels Gazette, of the 16th inst., contained several extracts from the Times of the same day. LYCEUM THEATRE.—The following distinguished persons have visited this theatre during the week: — Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Meek - renburgh Strelitz and suite, the Earl and Countess of Shel burn, Marchioness Cornwallis, Lady Jemima Eliot, Lady Clarke, Lady Sykes, Lord Viscount Cantalupe, Earl of Glengall, Lord Combermere, Lady Combermere, Lord Eliot, Lord A.

They were mostly in excellent condition, from Eleuthera, the largest of the Bahama Islands, where the fruit grows spontaneously. Hitherto they have not been a remunerative article of produce to the colony, the chief demand being for the United States, where, however, they do not realise above dollars per hundred. The competition yesterday was much more brisk than at the previous sale, the best quality realising from 3s. 6d. to ss. 6d., and second quality from Is. 9d. to 3s. In anticipation of the extensive demand, and to improve the cultivation, several of the most esteemed sorts have been sent over from this country to improve, if possible, the species in this island. Along with these was sold another novel* article of import, being 150 tins of preserved turtle from the liontitirts. MINORITY-NOES, 41. Barclay, David Hill, Lord:Marcus Stock, Sergeant Barnard, E. G.

GREAT OARS RACE AMONGST THE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEANDER CLUB. The great oars race yesterday, amongst the gentlemen of the Leander Club, was certainly one of the most dashing and spirited contests of the season. It is to be regretted that the threatening aspect of the weather for an hour or two before the start, deterred many gentlemen, patrons of aquatics, from attending a race which, from its first announcement, had given promise of first-rate sport. As it was, however, the Guy's first and second crew, and several other long boats, were afloat, and their occupants amply compensated for any little inconveniences they might have sustained by being afloat a trifle earlier in the afternoon than usual. The cir cumstance of the lottery of partners having taken place a few days before, instead of being delayed until an hour before the race, gave an opportunity of speculation not often presented, and necessarily increased the interest of the race. The dis tance differed also from that of former years, the start taking place from Vanxhall, instead of Westminster, and the contest finishing at Putney-bridge, an alteration which it was deemed expedient to make, in consequence of the frequent crossing of steamers in the lower part of Lambeth-reach, and the number of craft moored there. The gentlemen having waited until the violent thunder-storm had passed over, rowed from Ro berts's to the starting-place, accompanied by two eights- Messrs. Jefferies and Newman 1 Messrs. Wood and Dalgleish • . 2 Messrs. Shepherd and Fellowes •.. 3 Messrs. Bumpstead and Lea 4 • Messrs. BPDonald and Soames The race, as we have before said , was admirably contested - Mr. Shepherd and his partner had the No. 1 station on th; Middlesex. shore ; Bumpstead and his partner next, then Macdonald and his partner, and Jefferies and Newman out side, nearest the Surrey shore. A beautiful start was effected, all oar and oar at the moment ; a few rapid strokes followed, and then Shepherd and partner took the lead, closely fol lowed by Bumpstead's boat, the others being nearly level, or Wood and his partner being a trifle astern of all ; the latter pa i r wer e, however, in a few more strokes, showing sliglit improvement of place, when, owing to the heat of the CO*. test, Jefferies' boat accidentally fouled Dalgleish's, and botk were of course delayed a little. Jefferies and his partner them drew up to 13umpstead's boat, and challenged them to a very severe struggle, the result of which was Bumpstead's boat taking the third place. Jefferies and partner then laid down to their work again in gallant style, and off Chelsea College took the first place from Shepherd and his partner, who had held it from the start, and did not part with it without a severe struggle. Jefferies and his partner retained the lead, and one of the most plucky contests ever witnessed occurred between Bumpstead's and Shepherd's boats. They were oar and oar, with alternate. leads, if they might be so termed, of a few inches, the entire distance from Battersea to Putney.- bridges, Shepherd's boat just contriving to draw a-head ; but the rowers, despite their utmost exertions, being unable to do any more. While the three leading boats were in the positions above described, Messrs. Wood and Dalgleish drew upon the two last named, and off Wandsworth, having shipped their oars, Dalgleish taking the labour forward, they rowed right by Bumpstead and his partner and Shepherd and partner, while in the middle of their struggle, and took the second place, which they retained, Jefferies and Newman winning by four lengths. RAISING THE MADRAS TRANSPORT.—This vessel; which took fire, and was scuttled off Deptford Dockyard, having a cargo of stores and ammunition on board for her Majesty's troops at the Island of Ascension, has at last, by means of Government chain lighters from the Royal Dock yards, by the direction of the Lords of the Admiralty, been weighed and brought alongside the Dockyard-quay. She is much burnt, more particularly the fore-part, and she has also received considerable damage by the chains which raised her slipping, and breaking her upper parts. As for the stores, they are completely destroyed, but their loss will fall on the Government. The troops which she was to have conveyed from Gravesend to Hong-Kong, have since sailed in another vessel. The Madras will be forthwith taken into dry dock to be overhauled.
