able I would write to you all—l mean most of my friends; but at. present I cannot. Go to Mr. Bell and Wm. Wilson, and Alexander Wilson, and who you think fit, and state the melancholy contents of this to them, because I cannot acquaint them all. - As poor Mrs. Stobbs is now the only memorial of dear Rachel I know, go to her and give her my respects, and tell her that I have lost my beloved Rachel ; and, although there was not much friendship existing between them for some time past, I hope better will now exist between,UF, and that I shall always regard her for dear Rachel's sake. I must now stop ; for I am bewildered, as if in an unconscious dream.—Yours ever, "J. C. BELANEY." " I wish Wm. Wilson could give you Mr. Tewart's address in Lo Edon. He is one who knows me, and would say some thing fur me. Go to Mrs. Stobbs immediately; for, as a rela tive, it is my duty to acquaint her. Tell Mrs. Patrick and all others you think well of. Oh, lam gone. I hope the Lord will support inc under such trouble. If I can write to Sampson, who is the minister of the parish, I still ; but at present I cannot." The next letter to Mr. Bell refers to the foregoing one. "June, 1844. • " My dear Mr. Bell,—By the time this reaches you, you wilt have learned from Hall's letter, and my com munication yesterday, the awful cause of irry less ; and you, well I know, can and will feel fur me. 0, God ! what a visi tation came upon . me, like a thunderbolt shot down upon me in the midst of my happiness. Alas ! where are all my summer arrangements gone with my dear Rachel ? But, I cannot write. You shall hear from me immediately. To meat the next . paymentsgo to Thew fottheprice of the wheat. I will arrange for your supplies. Let no one interrupt 3on in your usual course. I have legal advice to direct and go through the case for me. I wrote a few lines for Captain Clark to direct him to write you, giving instruction for you to go on with the business as usual, and where to apply to for money to meet the pay. I did not think of writing you at:that time ; but now have done so. Besides several other friends who are coming up, and who have known me for so:rie time, I should like to see Mr. Hunt of Beltbrd. Do go and tell him what has happened, and that I should like him to come up immediately to say what he knows of me. Mr. Hancock and several others have arrived. Tell him, for God's sake, to conic off immediately. I will pay all expenses. I must have - a few respectable friends to conic forward to establish my character and say what they know of me. Oh, God ! I know not what lam doing or saying. 'fell him I shall pay every expense. When he comes he must call at Itohsm's, bookseller,Commercial-road East, London, or at 17, King's-street, Stepney, London, at Mr. Clark's. ` 1 Yours ever, in haste, • ' " J. C. BELANEY." " Pray put the men upon the partnership on their work again when reqiiiied, if they are not already on." Another letter, addressed by Captain Clark to Mr. Bell, at the desire of the prisoner, was then read. It ran as eiltees " 17, King-street, Stepney, London, June 15, 1844. Sir,—Mr. J. C. Belaney desires that you will go on as usual, and let him know when you want a cheque for the pay. His solicitor advises that you do not allow any one to see his private eorrespendence, nor, even yours ; nor allow any one to interrupt anything in his affairs, or to see any of his pri vate papers, no matter of whatever nature they may be. You are also desired by him not to address me through the Stepney address, lest they should be intercepted and pub . lisped, which would be very unpleasant. Yon will, therefore, enclose your letter to Mr. Belaney, under cover to me, 17, 'King-street, Stepney. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " To Mr. Bell. " W. D. CLARK." Mr. George Grey Bell, agent to Robson and Skelly's Lime works, North Sunderland, identified the letters signed J. S. Belaney, as being in the handwriting of the prisoner, who recently became a partner of the firm. Witness beli eve d th e late Mrs. Skelly, the prisoner's mother-in-law, had been a partner. Since witness became egent, which was in Septem ber last, the prisoner took an active part in the business. To the best of his belief the letters signed J. C. Belaney were in the prisoner's handwriting. Witness received the letters numbered 2 and 3 on the Wednesday after the date. W. D. Clark (10forfthrouf,IToui r t1TeinqairTas Captain Clark), was called, and admitted that the letter produced, bearing his signature, was written by him at the request ( f the prisoner. The two wills, found by Inspcctor Haync.7, in the cap board at the prisoner's house, were then read. The first ran as follows: • "1, Jamez Cockburn Relaney, do hereby will and bequeath all my property, persoral and other estates and heredita ments, with their rights and titles, to Rachel Belaney, my lawful wife, to be enjoyed and disposed of by her, as she best. thinks tit. "JAMES COCKBURN BELANEY. " fAlexander Witnessed b . , t Ralph More. "P. S.—John Dinning, Esq„ of Alford, is to have n y Greenland falcon, as promised. "J. C. B." "North Sunderland, May 17, 1844." The second was an exact copy of the former, bat without the postscript. Judging from the signature, the whole of the cb:cument, except the names of the attesting witnesses, was written by Mrs. Belaney, who, would seem, hal copied it ruin the other with a too faithful accuracy, as an erasure was made for the purpose of altering the female into the male prisoner. Alexander Wilson, a labourer in the prisoner's employ ment at the lime works in North Sunderland, remembered the prisoner and his wife leaving that place on the Ist of June. Witness saw the prisoner and his wife at their own house on the evening previous to their leaving. The prisoner asked witness to sign a will, which he said was drawn up betv.-zen himself and Mrs. Belaney. Witness then signed two papers. Those produced are the same. _ Mi.. 'Symons—Dif the prisoner say anything when he asked' you to sign them? Witness—the prisoner said they consisted of this :—lf anything happened to Mrs. Belaney the effects belonging to them-would be left in her will to do with them as he chose; and Mrs. Belaney spoke to the same effect —that if anything happened to him the effects would go to her to do as she chose. Ralph More, a shoemaker of North Sunderland, signed two papers at Mr. Belaney's house, on Friday, the 31st of May. After taking the pen and going over the signatures in wit ness's presence. the prisoner said it was much better to do so, lest anything should occur whilst they were from home, and added, that it was the custom of gentlemen, or people (wit ne7s did not remember which), always to do so when they went from home. Mrs. Belauey only- signed the document, and witness appended his signature. The document was here Landed to witnex - =, who identified it. Mr. Clarkson declined questioning any of the w•ituesees. The next document read was the register of the Berth Mrs. Skelly, mother of Mrs. Belaney; it was filled up cu the information of the prisoner, who stated that Mrs. Skelly died on the Ist of July, 1843, of bilious fever. The registly was dated July 3, 1843. Margaret Ronalds was then called—She said she had been servant to Mr. and Mrs. Belaney for nine months. At times ?firs. Belaney's friends came to see her. They sometimes were not asked in, and at other times they were. On one occasion whilst witness lived there she was told by the pri soner that Mrs. Belancy had miscarried iu the night. He told her s' between Fix and seven o'clock in the morning on a Friday; but she did not know the month. Mr. Clarkson—l see the clerk in his examination seems to iset his information from some paper to which he refers. I should like to know whether this witness has been exa mined before in the presence of a magistrate. (To the wit ness)—Were you examined before ?--Yes ; in North Sun . de:land. Mr. Clarkson—Was lie a magistrate who examined you ? I cannot say : I do not know. Mr. Clarkson-1 have material objections to this mode of proceeding; but I will not urge them here. The witness proceeded to state that she was not called to render any assistance to Mrs. Belaney on the occasion, when the prisoner told her that that lady had had a miscarriage. Mr. Clarkson—lf anything applicable to the present in quiry is to be elicited by this mode of inquiry, let it be shown; or, if there be any other charge, let it b e s t a t e d. Mr. IlitopEnir—l am sure the prisoner has no cause to complain of the manner in which this inquiry has been con ducted. The fullest latitude has been afforded for the defence. The witness, on being pressed as to the time when , Mr. Belaney spoke of the miscarriage, said, to the best of her re collection, it was in September last. Witness knew a Mrs. Robson. No medical man was called in when the prisoner told witness that Mrs. Belaney had a miscarriage. In answer to a question from Mr. Clarkson, witness said, she only arrived in town from North Sunderland on Tuesday. Sergeant Shaw was then called, and proved that he re ceived a letter from the prisoner on the Wednesday after the death of the deceased, which was intended for the post; but which witness thought it his duty to detain. Mr. BRODERIP (to the f you have anything. to say, you can say it now ; b u t your statement will b e volun tary, and written down for or against you. Sir. Clarkson intimated that the defence would be reserved. Mr. BRODERlP—Prisoner at the bar, you stand remanded until Saturday next; but, at the same time, I feel it neces sary to state that, if no additional evidence be given, it will then be my duty to commit you to take your trial for the wilfel murder of Rachel Belaney. The announcement, wine.' excited a deep sensation in the Court, did not seem in any degree to shake the prisoner, who walked steadily back to his cell. PRINCE TALLEYEAND.—The New Monthly Maga zine for July will con'ain another of those remarkable papers relating to the personal career and character of the prince of modern diplomatists, which have excited se much attention in recent numbers of that periodical. It cemains, we understand, the most singular relations connected with the early life of the Prince—tracing him from his birth, through every step of his boyhood—giv ing numerous anecdotes of his school days, his youthful Gmourettts,his boyish escapades; and furni.hing many eu riot's and interesting features ofthat early career,the events of which evidently moulded and modified that character on which the fate of Europe was afterwards more than once to depend. The revelations of these papers are so eurinus and unlocked for, and at the same time their au thenticity is so beyond the reach of doubt or cavil, that they may be regarded as the most valuable document-3 which have yet been given to the world in connexion with the most remarkab'e man of his age and country.

It originated in one of the bath-rooms on the third story, and Was first discovered by one of the inmates through - a strong Smell of burning. Upon making an examination the apart talent in question was found to be completely enveloped in Ire, and the flames were rushing out with such rapidity as to threaten with destruction the whole of the immense building. Y ,, rtunately not many minutes elapsed before several of the engines were at the Fcene. There being an abundance of water, the firemen by dint of great exertion succeeded in onfining the flames to that part of the premises where they commenced, and shortly after entirely extinguished them, but 12,4 before considerable damage was done. The origin of' the ire could not be ascertained. EGYPTIAN HALL, FICCADILLI . IMPORTANT NOTICE.

The Lords did not sit last evening. In the Commons Mr. Braoirr gave notice that he would this day call the attention of Sir JAMES GRA HAM to the formation of a troop of yeomanry in the district of Rochdale. The order of the day for the second reading of Mr. KELLT's Bill for appeals in criminal cases was post poned till Wednesday, when the Hon. Member would take the sense of the House on the subject. Mr..T. D UNCOMBE gave notice that on Tuesday ' next he Would move for a Select Committee to inquire i n to that department of the Post-office called the Secret-office. Mr. DUNCOMBE deserves the support and gratitude of the public in his praise-worthy endeavours to bring the Home Secre tary to justice, and put an end to the spy-system. We hear but one opinion on the subject. Every man, and woman too, denounce a practice which gave FOUCISE such unenviable notoriety, and which, we trust, will not disgrace this, free country...,, Mr; S. O'BRIEN resumed the debate' on the repeal of the corn-laws; he directed his attacks' chiefly against the League, and protested against its narrow, selfish, and unconstitutional policy. Captain LAYARD, though he would prefer a small fixed duty, supported the motion. Lord RENDLE- After two nights' discussion, remarkable for no speech of any particular moment, with the exception of that delivered by Lord Howsea on Tuesday, who gave utterance to some weighty and significant truths, which will not be speedily forgotten by those who heard, and those who read them, the debate on the corn-laws was last night brought to a close, when the majority against Mr. VILLIERS'S motion was 204. This, it must Le confessed, was a large majority, but when we come to consider the constitution of the present House of Commons, how completely it has surrendered its independence into the hands of Sir ROBERT PEEL, ar.d how imperfectly it represents and gives expression to the wants and wishes of the vast mass of the people, we cease to be surprised at the triumph of the monopolist 'party, awl are only the more confirmed in our con viction that these sort of triumphs cannot be of long continuance. The League has no reason to be dis mayed by the result of last night's division ; rightly considered, it has not in the slightest degree thrown back the cause which that great national confederacy has so much at heart, but will even have been pro ductive of good, if it shall be the means of stimu lating the free-traders to still further exertions. They must now see, that for some time to come at least, they have little to expect from Sir ROBERT PEEL and those who act according to his bidding. He told them distinctly last night—and is case there should be any misapprehension of his meaning, he twice repeated the assertion that it was not his intention to make the slightest alteration in the pre sent corn-law. " I prefer the principle of the Bill of 1842," be said, "to the principle of the Bill of the Noble Lord, and I have only to repeat the declaration which on the part of her Majesty's Government, I made at the commencement of the present session, that we do not intend, and that we have not intended, to diminish the protection which the existing corn-law gives to the agricultural in terests." In these few, but emphatic words, the PREMIER clearly throws down the gauntlet of defi ance to the League, and dares them to do their worst. He will not advance an inch nearer to them in the way of conciliation or compromise, but will maintain the position which he now holds. But not only this, in the conviction of his own strength, and the inability of the League to grapple successfully with him and force him to change his re solution, he actually taunts Mr. COBDEN and some other free-traders who supported him the other night on the Sugar Duties, with the vote which they gave on that-occasion. " I hope," he sneeringly observed —and no man sneers with such a smiling, well-bred bitterness as the Premier—in reference to the empty state of the Opposition benches, at an early period of the evening, "I hope that the assistance which the Hon. Gentleman and his friends gave to me at my benefit the other night, has not been the cause of depriving them of a fuller audience." It is thus Sir It. PEEL acknowledges and repays the services which Mr. COBDEN—most ill-advisedly, as we must say—ren dered him a night or two since on a question in which the Government were most dseply interested, and on which, otherwise, they must have sustained a most humiliating defeat ! Henceforth, we suspect, the Hon. Member for Stockport will be cautious how he applies his shoulder to the wheel, in order to lift the State-waggon out of the mud, seeing that his as sistance is taken quite as a matter of course, and is re paid only by a quiet supercilious indifference. We have said that Lord HowicK's speech was the only redly remarkable one that was made during the discussion, ft was indeed eminently so, if for nothing more than these important truths :—" All experience proved," said his Lordship, " that if justice were too long withheld, more than justice would be demanded, and he thought there were significant symptoms abroad that we were not far from that end. It was true the Go vernment was all powerful in that I - louse, but he should look with alarm to any sudden or violent dis tufba.nce of the political institutions of the country, and he warned the House that theirfoundations were sapped from the moment when the persuasion became general that those in whose hands poWer was placed, perverted that power to their own benefit, to the oppression of the rest of the communay. That persuasion was fast gaining ground." There is much more trath in these remarks than it would suit the convenience of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his Conservative tools to allow. The existence of Chartism, so general among the operative classes, if not quite so noisy us it has been ; the discontent of the agricultural classes made manifest in the wandering va garies• of SWING, who, we believe, has now, with the torch in his hand, paid a visit to every county in England :—these, to say nothing of a hundred minor ones, are significant symptoms, which indicate the deep and growing discontent of the masses with the system of class legislation, and prove, also, that that false and purblind system of legislation is, of neces sity, drawing, slowly indeed, but surely, to a close. Madrid journals of the 19th have been received Most of them have articles on the proposed conces. sions of Don CARLOS, alluded to in the House of Commons, and we are glad to find them in genera] opposed to the marriage of his son to the QUEEN. The Ileraldo gives the following account of the finan cial arrangements just concluded by M. Mori : " Yesterday the arrangement between the holders of Trea snly-bills and the Minister of Finance was happily con cluded. The former accepted Three per Cents. at 35 percent. in exchange for the bills to fall due, the liquidation of the contracts whence they arose taking place. This piece of news contains the whole prospects of our country. The conversion of the floating debt into Three per Cents. yields from this day to the Government above 60,000,000 a month, with which it will not only be able to provide for the most press ing engagements of the Treasury, but also to assist the in dividuals to whom it is indebted, and who have had so much to suffer from our revolution. We also know that M. Mon thinks of settling with the San Fernando bank and the Cen tralization, provided their intentions be moderate. Lastly, yesterday the money required for the payment, in the French and English capitals, of the half-year's interest on the Three per Cents. due at the end of June, was transmitted to Paris. All these occurrences have exercised a favourable influence over the Madrid Exchange, and we think that our paper will reach, both in Spain and abroad, the rate it should have." The Barcelona journals state that the Secretary of the Engl'sh Embassy had taken 11;s departure for Paris and London, with important dispatches, in re ference to a modification of the present Spanish tariff. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at 27i for cash, and 281 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at Di for cash, and 201 at 60 days. The Paris porn of Tue.,day contain a telegraphic dispatch from Toulon, announcing that the fleet, under the command of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, had set sail on Sunday, the 23d, for Oran. The squadron wa s composed cf the three sail of the line, Suffren, Jern mapes, and Triton, the Belle Poule frigate of GO, Asmodeus man-of-war steamer, the steam-corvette Pluton, and the steamers Phare and Rubis. Twelve hundred troops, including a company of engineers and three companies of marine artillery, have been embarked. Several regiments have received orders to march to Toulon to re-inforce the troops under Get:eral BUGEAUD, on the frontiers of Morocco. A Government journal thus describes the position occu pied by the French army in that quarter : " The camp of Lillis Maghania, at which Marshal Bugeaud now is, and before which the Mor - ,cco troops have twice come to give battle, is nine leagues from Tlemcen, six leagues from Ouehda, the first town in the kingdom of Morocco,_ and between two and three leagues of th e f r o n ti e r. The boun dary of the two States is well defined both by the topography of the country and historical records. The bad faith of the people of Morocco, and their insensate passion for making war against the Christians, have been their only motives for their pretending to drive us to the left bank of the Tafna, five leagues back. This camp, established by General de Lamoriciere, is defended by a terraced inclosure, with flanking bastions, mounted with cannon. Within are barracks in timber-work for field hospitahr, magazines, and offices for the staff. It forms the general depot of provisions, ammu nition, and stores, and is the rallying point for all the troops assembled on the frontier, amounting to between 8,000 and 9,000 men. This corps is composed of General de Lamori ciere's division, General Bedeau's brigade, and a brigade just brought by Marshal Bugeaud from ()ran." On Monday, the motion of the Government for an milling the vote carried on Saturday by a majority. of 1; or rather, for delaying the further considera tion of the question, whether the rails on the Paris and Lyons Railroad, should be laid down by the State, was carried by a majority of 28, there being for the motion, 182, and against it, 154 ; and on Tuesday the Bill was passed. The Rouen and Nantes Railway Bill was also passed by a great majority, and the sum of 2 8,000,000 f. voted for forming the line. Several domiciliary visits were made on Sunday SHAM opposed it. A number of speakers followed, but we see few arguments adduced by them that re quire notice. The only important feature in the debate was the determination of the Government to adhere, for the present, to the sliding scare. The House divided, when the numbers were—For the motion, 124; against it, 328. The other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Two. by the Paris police; on the ground that there was some plot in agitation, it favour of the Duke of BORDEAUX. Th, following is the account given of the affair, in the Carlist jo.trnal, the Quolidienne ; "Oa Sunday the police pail a visit to the office of the Charitable Society of St. Louis, and found there and carried off some prospectus indicating the conditions on which. re lief may be obtained, and thebooks of accounts. To com plete their petty persecution trey removed to, and still keep at, the Prefecture M. de Lerinois, the Secretary. At the same time the police made a descent at the house of Prince Gaston de Montmorency, whois absent from Paris, forced the locks of his furniture, and urried off the rapers, his manu scripts, and a certain number of busts of henri of France. Yesterday ( Monday) a long ::earch took place at the house of the Duke d'Escars, who, wilt the Pri . .ce de Montmorency, is one of the protectors of the Clrtritable Society of St. Louis. The police seized the printe I. rapers of the - Society, some private letters, and a great Lumber of pamphlets rela tive to the liberty of instruction, which is now, as every one knows, a very factious thin e !.., ar.d, therefore, the letters of the Bishop of Langres and the pamphlet of .M. de Ravignon were seized, as necessary elenients of the grand plot."

JUSTICE ERSKINE.— It was currentiv reported in Westminster Hall that Mr. Justice Erskine died t'lis morning. The report is without foundation. We are glad to learn, that Mr : Percival Bankes, the barrister, is likely to be appointed successor to the late Mr. O'Hanlon, as Counsel to the Irish Go vernment. 1k belongs, of course, to the party which support the Government, but he is I not a man of bigoted politics—he has ever been consistent, he has distinguished himself by many excellent articles in a periodical p u bli ca ti on o f hi g h em i nence ; b ut, what is of more importance he is a gond lawyer ; h e is on the best te rms w i t h the leaders of the Liberal party in Ireland, and his appointment would meet with the approbation of his opponents. Mr. Eneas M`Donnell is said to be the only candidate that stands in hi s way; but will Sir James Graham give another im pulse to public feeling apinst the Home7office—Will he add oil to the flame which burns with.such vigoUr in Ireland—by giving his support to one who was-in former times the most determined friend of the Irish Catholics, and is now more hostile to them than even Lord Roden or Mr. Plumptre? MORTALITY TN THE METROFOLIS.—There has been a considerable increase in the number of deaths during the last week. The total number was 920, while during the previous week it was only 855. This in crease has been caused chiefly by deaths from small pDx, scarlatina, croup, and violent deaths. Of the 30 persons who died from small-pox, 16 had not been vaccinated. The following is the analysis of the violent deaths :---Fracture or contusion, 23 cases, of which 13 were from falls, 6 from animals and car riages, and 1 from machinery ; burns, 7 ; scald, 1 ; drowning, 8 ; and 6 from suicide. The thermometer was highest on Saturday, 79 . 6, and lowest on Mon day, 46 . 8 degrees. The total amount of rain in inches was only 01. THIS DAY'► NEWS. AEWCASTLE RACES. YESTERDAY. (BY EXPRESS.)

The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury Lord Brougham, L or d C amp b e l l, the Earl of Ridesdale, Cord Sudeley, the Earl of Fortescue, Lord Clburne, and Lord Monteagle. THE WHARTON BARONY. Mr. KELLT proceeded to sum up in this claim, in the course of which he took an objection to the outlawry of the Duke of Wharton with which the Committee decided they could not deal, and in consequence thereof the matter was ordered to stand over sini (lie, in order that proceedings might be taken, in the Queen's Bench to set aside the outlawry. Their Lordships then proceeded to hear Scotch appeals. ADAM V. FARQUHAR. Mr. KELLY resumed his arguments on behalf of the ap pellant in this appeal, the arguments of which occupied their Lordships the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE - CIIANCELIAM of ENGLAND.) His Honour sat in Lincoln's Inn to-day. ROBERTS v. MADDOX. The further arguments in this part-heard motion, occupied his-Honour the whole day. The object of the motion is to commit the defendant for a breach of an injunction granted by the Court. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) George Bathy, alias Floatan, a cab-driver, badge 687, was charged with being drunk, and assaulting police-constables 72 G and 223 G. _ It appeared from the evidence that, this morning between one and two o'clock, the constables tbund the prisoner lying drank in the carriage-way, and fearing he would be run over, they aroused him. The rufliian, instead of feeling grateful for the service done him, had no sooner got upon his legs, than he aimed a desperate blow at 72 G, and such was his violence that it required the combined exertions of four con stables to take him to the station-house. On their way to the station-house, the prisoner struck 223 G such a violent blow, that he reeled over to the other side of the street. He then aimed a kick at a delicate and vital part of the person of the other officer, but a smart blow of the truncheon on the shin prevented its taking effect. The prisoner, when asked for his license as a cab driver, sail his master had it, bat, upon search, it was found in his pocket. Inspector Fletcher said the prisoner was well known to the police c,f the 31 division as a very formidable character. Police-constable 82 G added that the prisoner had threat ened to murder him. The prisoner was sentenced to pay a tine of 1/, or suffer a commensurate term of imprisonment. The Magistrate also suspended his license for a fortnight. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Susannah Jupp, a respectable-looking elderly woman, was charged with stabbing her husband, who, however, was not in attendance. The policeman stated, that hearing a cry of "murder" pro ceed from a house in Wootton- street, Lambeth, the preceding night, he entered and found a man bleeding from the arm, and he pointed out the prisoner, who was sitting crying in a corner of the room, as the person who had wounded him. The policeman added, that he then took the prisoner into custody, but the husband had this morning expressed his intention not to appear against her. She was under th e effects of liquor at the time. Mr. TRAM. said that the prisoner had placed herself in a most perilous situation, for if her husband attended, she would be committed for trial, and if convicted, sentenced to a severe punishment. Under the circumstances, therefore, he was compelled to discharge her. MARKET NEW S .-(THIS DAY.) EAT ATARZZTS.

ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARBON9.—On Wednesday last, the boys of the Royal Hospital School, Greenwich, accompanied by their band, Lieutenant Rouse, and thir officers, visited these gardens. They were received .at the lodge, by the proprietor, Mr. Tyler, and welcomed .with a royal salute of twenty-one guns, the band of the establishment also welcoming the strangers with "Hearts of Oak." The boys, 740 in number, were afterwards regaled with cakes and ale ; they all seemed highly delighted with the "Great Fire of London," and returned home in the steamer engaged for them ; and the superior officer, Lieut. Rouse, expiessed himself in terms of the warmest satisfaction to Mr. Tyler, for the great liberality he had displayed in providing such a treat for the juveniles under his command. Admirtl Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.B. (Yaver Pasha), who distinguished himself at the capture of St. Jean d'Acre, in 1840, arrived at the Burlington Hotel, Cork street, on Saturday last, from Constantinople.

On Monday the King and Queen of the French again visited the Exhibition of National Industry, and were re ceived with the_ usual loyal demonstrations. The King passed a very long time in the machine-room, examining the productions, and conversing with some of. the manufacturers. Their Majesties left at five fur the Tuileries, and at six re turned to Neuilly. M. 'niers has been appointed reporter to the Committee on the. Education Bill, by a majority of 6 votes to 3. This has given great satisfaction to the parties who support the claims of the University. We find the following account of the loss of the Manchester steamer in Galig3anes Messenger of Tuesday :—" The Paris steamer, which left Hamburgh on the 22d inst., at six in the morning, arrived at Havre on the 24th, at nine in the morning, after a passage of liftv- one hours. Prince d'Anhalt was on board on his way to - Paris. This vessel brings ac counts of a violent storm, which took place on the 16th and 17th at the mouth of the Elbe. The Manchester steamer, plying between Ilull and llamburgh, went to pieces, and lost every soul on board, on the rocks of Heligoland, where the Cadiz, a Spanish vessel, was also cast away, but the crew of the letter was saved. The Manchester was one of four packets plying regularly between Hull and Hamburgh. The heat at Paris had somewhat abated. On Monday at two P. 31. the thermometer stood at 83 Fahrenheit. A Constantinople letter of the 7th, in the Ma7ta Tin:es, says:—" By the last accounts we have received of the Sul tan, his Majesty must be now at Mytilene—and in the course of a few days will return to the capital. His presence seems to have produced the most lively demonstrations of joy wherever he has been, arid to have been hailed even w ith greater satisfaction by: his Christian than his Mussulman subjects." We find the following in the Phare d'Alexandrie of the 6th :—" For the last few days the Viceroy has been residing at the Palace of his Excellency Moharem Bey. He intends to return to town as soon as the sea-bathing season com =nee's. The Government steam-boat, the Raschid, left on the 25th of last month for Trieste. She had on board his Excellency Ismail Bey, second son cf Ibrahim Pacha.' The new measures which the Health-office have taken to stop the progress of plague, have been most successful, as since our last report we have only heard of 11 cases: the interior of the country still continues healthy. LAW ASPS POLXC.2.I. At the Westminster Sessions, John Williams, connected with a gang of notorious coincrs, pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of silver plate from the residence of Sir Edward L. Bulwer. The prisoner was sentenced to three months' im prisonment and hard labour. On hearing the sentence the prisoner exclaimed, "Not lagged yet, neither," and went laughing from the bar. lad, — named Sullivan, was charged, at Marlborough-street, with having stolen a quantity of geraniums and other orna mental shrubs from Kensington Gardens. The defendant was seen to get over the wall, and the plants were found in his possession. Fined 20s. or a month's imprisonment. At Union Hall, Ann Feudon Croisy, alias Pain, was brought up for re• examination, charged with defrauding several per sons, by representing herself a ward in Chancery, and en titled to ccnsiderable property. Mr. Cottingbam, having pe rused a letter which he had just received, on the subject of the prisoner's apprehension, said that the writer of the letter detailed circumstances, by which it appeared that the pri soner had robbed a poor woman at the east end of the town, who committed suicide, which latter event was alleged to be attributable to the scandalous treatment she had experienced at the hands of the prisoner. She was remanded. C O raT—ra3EIXONA33X.M. The Marquis of Exeter entertained a select circle at dinner yesterday, in Grosvenor-street. The guests included the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Douro, Lord Charles Wellesley, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Earl and Countess of Manvers, Lord and Lady de Ros and Miss de Ros, Lord Thomas and Lady S.Thia Cecil, Hon. Henry Pier repoint and Miss Pierrepoint, and the Hon. Captain Percy. The Duke and Duchess of Argyle entertained the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland. and Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower, Duke of Hamilto . n, Countess of Lincoln, Viscount Morpeth, and a distinguished circle, at dinner on Monday last. A. small party assembled in the evening to 'met Lady _Eliza beth Leveson Gower, about to be married to the Marquis of Lorn. The Duke of Bzdford arrived at the railway terminus, near Exeter, by the noon-day train on Saturday, and proceeded immediately with .four post horses from Cockram's New Lou den Inn to Endsleigh Cottage, near Tavistock. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort have issued cards for a grand entertainment to her Royal highness the Duchess of Gloucester, on the 11th of the ensuing month, at Beaufort Honße. His Excellency Count de St. .Aulaire is on the eve of de parting for Paris on leave of absence. His Excellency's absence will not exceed six weeks, during which Count Jarnac will trans - act the diplomatic duties of the embassy as chargé d'affaires. 1 - A-.1 Palmerston, at his scat, Broadlands, and Sir Willism lleatlicote, at Hursley Park, will entertain select parties during the approaching agricultural meeting at Southampton. 15XX C ZI.7.II.NEOUS. The weather still continues very favourable for vegetation. The heat has considerably abated, and there is a constant succession of tine genial showers. To-morrow being the sixth anniversary of the, co ronation of her most gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, it will be observed as a holiday at the Stamp-office, Excise, Custom-house, the St. Katherine's, London, West, and East. India Docks ; and at the different Government dockyards at Deja ,rd, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke. The Court-martial ordered by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to be held on First Lieutenant Frederick John White, of the Woolwich division, after a protracted sitting has been dissolved, and the charge and finding of the Court, with the remarks of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, promulgated in gene ra l or d ers. The finding is as fol lows :—" The Court having maturely weighed and considered all that has been adduced in support of the prosecution, as well as what has been brought forward on the defence, arc of opinion that the prisoner First Lieutenant Frederick John White is not guilty of the charge preferred against him, and we therefore acquit him." Lieutenant White is a very clever artist, and the public are indebted to his spirited sketches for the Chinese scenery in Burford's Panorama in Leicester square. The main charge against him was for creating a disturbance in the streets. The Council of the National Complete Suffrage Union met at Birmingham, on Monday afternoon, ;Mr. Sturge in the chair. The Secretary read the i eply from the Loyal Repeal Association of Ireland, to the address recently issued to the people of Ireland to that body by the Complete Suffrage Union. The Council resolved earnestly to recommend to the friends of political freedom in every part of the kingdom, to devote their immediate and most careful attention to the state of the registration in their respective localities, and make every effort to get complete suff rag i s t s on the roll. The annual entertainment in aid of King's College Hos pital was celebrated on Wednesday at the Freemasons' Tavern, when a numerous party of the friends and supporters of the institution sat down to a well-served and well-cooked dinner. The chair was taken by Lord Sandon, who was sup ported by Dr. Lonsdale, the Bishop of Lichfield, and upwards of one hundred gentlemen who are connected with the King's College Hospital. At the meeting of the Scotch Corporation, held on the same. day, the treasurer communicated that the amount of the proceeds of the Caledonian ball was 553/. 19s:, and he proposed that two-thirds should be given to the Caledonian Asylum, and one-third to the Corporation, which was weed to. The Committee for the increase of insurance reported that they had insured the picture of Mary, Queen of Scots (which was painted by a French artist, and for which a large suns was offered by the Scot's College at Paris many years ago), for 2001.; the picture of King Wiliiam IV. for 3001 ; that of Mr. James Kivnier, the first Master of the Corpora tion, for 20/. ; and the remainder of the pictures for 101. each. MONE YAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A very extensive business was done in Cotton, at Liver pool, yesterday, and, in most instances, at an advance of Ad. per lb. on the rates of Friday last. Speculators took 4,000 bales, and the total sales were 12,000 bales, viz., 1,000 Surat, 3d. to 30. ; 600 Pernam, 53 to 6h • 200 Maranham, sd. to 51d. ; a n d th e res t A mer i can, at sd. to 6id.

The result of the debate in •the House of Commons on the motion of Mr. Villiers, relative to the corn-laws, has given great satisfaction to th e sma ll c li que o f monopolists which still remains among the mercantile classes, and is a source of deep regret to the many, who are anxious to see the mer cantile interests of Great Britain extended, the only way in which "ships, colonies, and commerce," cr n be materially ad vanced. The exposition of the mover of the resolutions ought to have had, it is considered, more weight with the second branch of the Legislature. Among the many subjects of importance now before the House of Commons is one relating to the future mode of con ducting Savings' Banks, and a point upon this subject is raised which seems, from a Morning Contemporary, to have led to much difference of opinion. We rifer to the clause render ing it imperative that, once a year, the depositors should be compelled to send in their receipt-books for examination. This is a most wholesome clause, as it ensures the verifica tion by the Managers that all sums paid in have been duly received, and it would afford a complete check to any mal-appropriation of money by clerks, &c. Nor can it be successfully contended that the privaCy, which is a point as respects individuals who are depositors, would at all be infringed, as the Managers have, as a matter of course, a pe riodical inspection of all the accounts. There is, therefore, safety on the one hand, and privacy as secure as now, on the other. As to the fear that the entries made in the de positors' names might, on the annual inspection, be tampered with, among competent judges, the remark does not require any consideration. Any such step would inevitably lead to instant detection. It is suggested that the books should be enclosed in sealed envelopes, and addressed only to the Managers of the Savings' Banks themselves. Thus per fect security would be obtained that the items contained in them would not be altered. There was not any arrivals of interest from the colonies, or elsewhere, this morning. It is satisfactory to state that the commercial markets are most active. 'There were yesterday more public sales of pro duce brought forward than, we believe, on any one day for some years past.
