Morning .. 50 minutes after 11 t Evening • • 0 minutes after 0. from Germany) ; since it is impossible to keep out slave grown sugar (the attempt at excluding which, however, is the sole pretext for keeping sugar so dear as it is in our own market)—what is to be done to rectify so pre posterous an anomaly, and to relieve the public trom so unreasonable a hardship ? Is it worth while consider ing whether it would not be well to abandon any such impracticable distinctions between slave and free labour, admit the product of all countries under what regulations you may determine, and trust for the better repression of the slave trade to the increased vigour with which the zealous and effectual co• operation of France will enable you henceforth to carry out that great object. The objects of Lord ASHLEY'S Bill for the regulation of the care and treatment of lunatics in England," which has occupied two morning sittings of the House of Commons, are undoubtedly excellent ; but it is equally undoubted that there are grave objections to the machi nery by which these objects are to be effected ; and the little effect which has attended the attempts of Mr. DUNCOMBE, Mr. WAKLEY, and other Liberal Members, to amend the Bill, lead us to hope that it will not be pa3sed into a law this session. It was pro posed in the Bill to allow past years of service on temporary Commissions, during which the gentle men now for the first time appointed permanent Cora • missioners have been remunerated on a high scale calcu lated with reference to their having no retiring pension to look to—have been paid, in fact, by the job, and at the rate of a guinea an hour for the time they were employed—to count for retiring pensions; and it was stated, without contradiction, that some of the proposed Commissioners had already served on the previous tem porary Commissions the number of years (fifteen) which is to entitle a Commissioner, when permanently disabled, to a retiring pension. This monstrous pro posal has been abandoned. That it should ever have been sanctioned by Lord ASHLEY is only to be ac counted for by attributing to his Lordship such a de gree of simplicity :Is is too . often conjoined with pre eminent virtue. Never, we suppose, was such a working commission thought of, as is proposed by this Bill, certainly not since the days of JEREMY BENTHAM'S publications on administrative government. It were almost enough to startle the Utilitarian sage from his grave, that so heavy a responsibility as is involved in the superin tendence of all the lunatic asylums of the king dom should be entrusted to a commission, com posed of no less than eleven members. If there is one political axiom more undisputed than another, it is that to have responsibility as efficient as possible it must be as much concentrated as possible ; and that nothing is more adverse to efficient responsibility than a numerous board. " What ia everybody's business is nobody's business ;" and the blame, which has to be divided between eleven, will fall with the weight of a feather on any one individual. Eleven Commissioners are appointed by this Bill. Six of them are not to be paid, and one of the unpaid is to be the chairman. Mr. CHRISTIE pointed out how the fact of Commissioners giving their services gratuitously would interfere with their responsibility, but to no purpose. And then the six paid Commissioners, three of them being physicians or surgeons, and three barristers of five years' standing, are each to receive 1,5001 a year, over and above their travelling and other expenses ; with a retiring allowance after fifteen years' service, if permanently disabled. We do not hesitate to designate this a most disgraceful waste of public money. Six Com missioners at 1,5001. a year each, over and above tra velling and other expenses, and what on earth may not be covered by "other expenses?" But 9,0001. a year in salaries to the Commissioners, and 8001. a year more to a Secretary, who is also to have a retiring pension to look to ! If it had been a commission consisting of only two or three members, who would be taken from among the most eminent in the medical and legal professions, then, indeed, 1,500/. a year would not be one whit too high a salary. But for the ordinary barrister of five years' standing, or for a medical man of moderate prac tice (and it is only such a man that will take even 1,5001. a year), then we do say that these salaries are an unjusti fiable squandering of the public money. But much may be done at a morning sitting which will not bear the light of a full House ; and it can only be a fear of the grave responsibility attendant on delaying for another year a Bill that will relieve so much misery and stay so much cruelty, that can have led Mr. DuNcoatnE, and his small but patriotic minority, to consent, under any circumstances,' to the grant of these extravagant salaries. The Prison Inspec tors are paid 700/. a year —the Assistant Poor-law Commissioners are paid 1,000/. a year—the Police Ma gistrates are paid 1,0001. a year—and is it pretended that the men who are looked to to fill the Lunatic Commis sionerships will be, or need be, superior to those who fill the above-named offices ? So far as the Commissioners and their salaries are concerned, this Bill is a flagrant job. Madrid journals of the 9th have been received, and it ap pears from nearly the whole of them that the QUEEN'S jour ney to the Basque provinces is looked upon with strong sus picions in the capital. The Eco del Commercio states that in many of the provincial towns F..•“ 11 ,9 that the public consider the of jest of it is to force a KING on Spain in the person of Clieni.2s Vl. (the Prince of As- TURIAS). The Clamor Publics says the journey will prove fatal to liberty, and both the Tiempo and the Heraldo, crgans of the Moderado party, contain articles recom mending that her MAJESTY should bestow her hand on a son of Don FRANCISCO DR PAULA. This indeed appears the least objectionable match, both as regards Spahr and foreign Powers ; but Queen CHRISTINA, and also some people at Paris, may have different views. A great intrigue is in active operation. The intelligence from Barcelona is to the 10th. The opposition to the conscription had been put down by military force, and we regret to say not without considerable loss of life. A dispatch from General CONCHA, dated Sabadel the Bth, states that he had completely beaten and dispersed the rebels, killed twenty men, and made a great number of prisoners. The next day he was to proceed to Tarrosa, which he entered on the morning of the 10th. A letter from Barcelona of the 10th gives the following account of his entry into that town : " General Concha, on arriving yesterday morning at' six o'clock before Tarrosa, received a discharge Irons the guns of the insurgents, which wounded several of his men. General Concha himself was at the head of the troops, and his humane orders were, In advance, no quarter!' The soldiers immediately charged the barricades at the point of the bayonet, and took them, and massacred every one whom they met, whether they opposed them or not. Upwards of 100 persons were killed on the side of the insurgents before mid-day, In the afternoon the firing continued, but the number of •ictims is not yet known. General Concha is master of the town, and this morning he marched upon Martonell, a town situated on the Llobregat, nine leagues from Barcelona, where the insurgents have taken refuge. During the night Villafranca, a town on the road to Tarragona, pronounced, and the inhabitants have set the bells a ringing, to rouse the country. On the other hand, the town of Igualada, which is situated on the route to Lerida, has also pronounced, and has formed a junta, which takes the name of the Central Junta, and acknowledges Espartero as Regent. Later accounts, however, have been received by a tele graphic dispatch, dated Barcelona the 13th, announcing that CONCHA had entered Igualada without opposition, and that the revolt was suppressed. The General had issued a procla mation to the Catalonians, in which he says, that the draw- ing of the conscription was a mere pretext, seized by the enemies of public repose to excite the population to revolt ; that their design was to plunge that industrious province in an abyss of calamity by means of an alliance between the Carlists and the Republicans, and that, with the aid of the loyal inhabitants, he will speedily restore th e s w a y of t he law. On the Madrid Bourse the Funds on the 9th were some what firmer, the Three per Cents. for cash having reached 2Si, and even 284 before the close of the market. The transactions for the Account were also more numerous, at prices varying between 28i and 28 9-16. The French Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, commenced the discussion on the estimates for 1846, but nothing of the slightest interest had occurred up to the hour of post. In answer to a question from the Count DE BOISSY relative to the reduction of the Five per Cent. Stock next session, the Minister of Finance said, as he had refused in the other Chamber, to declare what were the intentions of Govern meat on that subject, he could not answer the question. The Moniteur publishes the returns of the indirect taxes during the half-year ending the Ist of July. The total receipts amounted to 389,904,000 f. (15,600,0001.), showing an increase, as compared with those of the cor responding period of 1844, of 11,778,000 f., and of 19,530,000 f. over those of a similar period of 1843. The following are a few of the items :—Stamps, 19,729,000 f. ; Customs, 75,869,000 f. ; Salt, 30,567 f.; Liquors, 48,810,000 f. ; Tobacco, 54,017,000 f. ; Postage, 23,441,000 f. The birthday of the Duke of BORDEAUX gives rise to curious ejaculations in sonic of the Legitimatist journals, of which the following are specimens. The Quotidienne says— " To-clay, the 15th, is the fete of the exile. France in other tinsel would have celebrated this day with distinction ; at present she can only think of it with affection. Kind wishes will, however, be directed towards Henry of France, and prayers will ascend in his favour towards heaven. It is the whole flattery which is permis. Bible towards a royalty without power, for hope itself cannot reach him, unless God should send it by his mysterious messengers. May, in this day, the thought of his country present itself to Henry with all the consolations that it possesses, in the same way as his name remains in France with all the presages which it formerly held out I" The following is from the France:— " The 15th of July Is a day of happiness and joy—it is the fete of the good Henry—it is that of the Count de Chambord. In 1820, u hen this young Prince by his birth redeemed the crime of Feb ruary 13, and replaced tears by the spectacle of happiness and hope, King Louis XVIII. selected for him the name which he was to bear. Next to that of Louis, which the Duke d'Angouleme was to con. tinue, there was none more popular or more national than that of Henry. Henry is the personification of love for France, greatness, dig nity, clemency, and generosity. It was a noble model given to him whom France welcomed as the boy of the present moment and the hope of the future. A child is born to us,' cried the King, in ad dressing his people ; and the Ambassadors replied, It is not only the child of France, but of Europe.' Times are changed. This Noble Prince, to whom was destined the greatest of all crowns, is no longer amongst us, but his memory remains alive. Whether at a distance or near, he knows that there are hearts which throb at his name, and whletpreserve to hint the respect and love that they 1 owe him. If he is tuchcd with this fidelity of the heart, we are proud to behold himfulfilling the promise of his birth, and what. ever may be the destny which God reserves to him, we shall never fail in what we owe Im. To.day his fete beholds us radiate with joy, as not long sinceaur grief accompanied his, when, kneeling at the holy tombs of Gortz, he wept for the august Princes who had watched over his in'ancy and his youth with such paternal solicitude!" Accounts from Agiers of the Bth announce the loss of another French sterner en the African coast, and also the capture of a tribe flthful to AnD-EL-KADER, by General CAvAIGNAC. The pirticulars are thus given in the Sud of Marseilles :- " By the arrival of the Ville de Bordeaux, Captain Combes, we have received acounts from Algeirs to the Bth. A lee ter of that date giros a report, setting forth that General Cavaignac had recent) , made a bold coup de main at a place about forty leagues south of Tlemcen, and had carried off a number of people, who were still devoted to the cause of Abd.el-Kider. The report of the retrograde movement of the ex-Emir iE confirmed by all the accounts from the west. His retreat is attributed to the unfavourable dis position of the tribes of the south towards him. The Akbar gives an account of the loss or the Sphynx Government steamer, which took place on the eveniig of the6th to the eastward of Cape Mati foux. She was proceeding froir Bona to Algiers with dispatches, but the weather being so excessively foggy that no land could be seen, she was driven ashore on the rocks at the above place by the force of the current, the captan at the time supposing himself in the Bay of Algiers. The passengers, to the number of 300, were all safely landed, and immediate information was sent off to Al giers, from whence two steamers were dispatched to render assist ance. Every exertion was made to save the vessel, but without effect, the damage she had sustained on .he rocks rendering the task hopeless." The Funds on the Paris Bourse cmtinued flat.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Himont LL. ) COANOCK V. LEICS. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 41. Bs. 9d. for wages. The defendant pleaded that he never was indebted in a larger sum than 4/. 3s. 4d., and that he had tendered that amount. Mr. THOMAS stated the case. The defendant is a grocer, and the plaintiff had been his shopman ; he went to the situation on the 2d of April, and remained two months and four dAys, when the defendant, from some reason, but apparently not an unfriendly one, desired plaintiff to look for a situation. Evidence was then adduced at some length, when it ap peared that the cause of plaintiff leaving was in consequence of frequently asking for leave of absence for arid hour, and staying longer. He asked, on the 2d of June, for an hour, and de fendant said that if he wanted an hour then he had better go altogether, and plaintiff said he would. Defendant tendered him 4/. 3s. 4d. for two months' wages at 25/. per annum, and asked for a receipt. The next day, the 3d, the plaintiff called, and made a demand of 41 . B s. 9 d. , for t wo months and four da y s wages, and defendant said he would not pay him anything, as he had not served his full time. Mr. THOMAS contended that the tender was bad, being clogged with a condition ; and also that from the 2d to the 2d, including the last day, must be more than two months, and, therefore, that the plaintiff was entitled to the difference. The UNDER.-SHERIFF left it to the jury to say whether the asking for a receipt was such a condition as to lead the plaintiff to suppose it was to bar him from proceeding to recover any balance he had a right to, or even conecived he had a right to ; if so, his (the Learned Under-Sheriff's) opinion was it was bad in law. The other question was, as to whether the time aas two months exact, or was to be taken as being so many weeks and so many days. The jury, after some time, gave a verdict for the defendant on both issues. Mr.' THOMAS applied for the writ to be retained, on the ground that the calculation of thejury as to time was erroneous, and that the tender was bad in law; The Ustnen-SIigRIFF said he could not do that, for it would imply that he was dissatisfied with the verdict, which he saw no reason to disturb, as both questions were purely for the jary. A judge, however, could be applied to. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Susan Gregory, a young woman, who for the last two years and a half has held the situation of one of the housemaids at the Army and Navy Club-house, St. James's-square, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a gold breast pin, the property of Hugh Richie Wallace, Esq. The prosecutor stated that he is a member of the club, but at present was residing at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street. On Sunday last he dined at the club, and he then noticed that the pin was safe in his cravat. He returned at night to the British Hotel, and on undressing to go to bed he discovered that he had lost the pin, and gave information of it to the police. The pin produced was the one he had so missed. Robert Dixon, apprentice to Mr. Thomas Blackburn, of Skinner-street, Somers Town, pawnbroker, stated that about three o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner offered the pin in question to pledge for 10s. He asked her who it belonged to, and she said her husband. Having received notice from the police describing the pin he gave her into custody.

The Washington papers are counting the number of British ships of war on the coast of Africa and South America, amounting, they say, to 52, and 800 guns. They speak of some fortifications on the United States sea-coast, but their attention seems to be directed to the great lakes ; improving the harbours to admit of large steam-vessels, and encourage their construction for commercial purposes. They speak of making Lake Michigan a Mediterranean, fortifying the Straits of Michellimacinack, and bringing steamers from the Mississippi by the Illinois canal, &c.

Lowell Worcester Eastern Massachussets (to Portland) Eastern Maine (to Port land) ... 7 Providence Maine to Portland 6 Nashua This table shows the superior advantages of railroad investment in a new country, the resources of which are in a state of progressive development, over these which the old countries of the continent of Europe can offer. The only reason why United States' investments are less sought after, is the doubt which at present attaches to the solvency and good faith of American States. The com pany formed in Canada to construct a railroad from Mon treal, its capital, to the Atlantic at Portland, promises to combine the high rate of United States returns, with the certainty of English investment; for the Company is locally resident within the limits of British juris diction. This railway is in connexion, at its seaboard terminus, with two of the railways quoted above (Eastern Massachussets and Eastern Maine), and it is proposed to extend and unite it with two more of them (Lowell and Nashua). The rates of dividend paid by these works form, therefore, a very good ground for estimating- those of the St. Lawrence and At lantic Railroad. They are, however, supported princi pally by local traffic, while the St. Lawrence and At lantic is calculated to become the channel of an exten sive foreign trade. It will form, during six months of the year, the channel of communication for all Canada East (with a population of 700,000, rapidly increasing), and for a large portion of Canada West (the population anal re sources of which are still more rapidly extending.) This scheme has received the warmest sup port in the colony (where one. sixth of the capital has been already subscribed), and it has received in London the sanction of the most eminent Canadian merchants. It cannot prove otherwise than a profitable investment, and will tend to accelerate incalculably the develop ment of the resources of Canada. It possesses an inte rest not only for the cplonists, but for the vast numbers who have friends and relations settled in Canada. per cent New Bedford 6 Taunton Branch ...

The Turnpike Acts Bill, the Loan Societies Bill, the Highway Rates Bill, the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill, the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, and the Land Revenue Act Amendment Bill were respectively reported. The Ecclesiastical Patronage (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. The House then went into Committee on the Lunatic Asylums Bill. The fifth clause, granting retiring pensions to the officers was opposed by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Mr. WAR BURTON, Mr. WAKLEY, and several other Hon. Members, and supported by Lord ASHLEY and Sir J. GRAHAM. On a division the numbers were, for the clause, 43; against it, 3 ; majority in favour of the clause, 40. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Friday. The Drainage (Ireland) Bill passed through Com mittee; and on the motion of the committal of the Valuation of Lands (Ireland) 8111, the House was counted out. In the houses of Lords and Commons, on Tuesday night, the question of admitting into the English home market the slave-grown sugars of Porto Rico and of Cuba, on the same terms as the free-labour grown pro duce of Venezuela and the United States, was brought forward by the Earl of CLARENDON in the Peers—by Viscount PALMERSTON in the Lower House. Both the Noble Earl and the Noble Viscount appeared as sponsors for the case so ingeniously put on behalf of the Spanish Government by the Duke DE SOTOMAYOR, in the able state paper we have very recently noticed. It is scarcely necessary to say that the Noble Earl and the Noble Viscount (the latter more particularly) made as much of their case as it was probably suscep tible of. But, after a careful and dispassionate review of the arguments severally adduced by them, we see nothing to alter, in the main, the opinion we have already recorded in favour of the Earl of ABERDEEN'S construction of the real effect of the existing treaties, ;rid his repudiation of the claim advanced by the Duke of SOTOMAYOR . It is somewhat remarkable that the sense of each House against the Spanish Minister's ap plication was pronounced by a majority, the proportions of which are almost similar ; the motion in either case being negatived by about 2 to 1, or 100 per cent. of the Peers and Members present. The Earl of CLAREN DON'S motion, for the admission of Spanish colonial sugars on the same terms as those granted to the free labour sugars of Venezuela and the United States, was rejected in the Lords by a majority of it (Contents, 14; non•contents, 28) Lord PALMERSTON'S motion, to the same effect, was lost in the Commons by a majority of 88. (Ayes, 87; noes, 175.) Lord CLARENDON' con tended, indeed, that both the honour and the interests of this country were involved in the view which the Government had taken of the application made to it. He maintained, that by previous treaties prior to that of Utrecht in 1713, and especially by the terms of this latter, it was stipulated that the subjects of Great Britain and of Spain, relatively, should be treated on the footing of the most favoured nations. Though nothing could be more explicit than these treaties, the Earl of ABERDEEN had endeavoured to pervert their meaning, by attempting to show, that under a treaty executed in the year 1079, the subjects of either Crown were expressly prohibited from visiting—and a portion from trading—with the West Indian possessions of the other. This Lord CLARENDON considered as futile a pre tension, looking to the construction of the subsequent treaty of Utrecht, practically adopted by both States, as the distinction attempted to be taken between " subjects " and " produce " of " the most fa voured nations " was untenable, and unworthy of the British Government. Lord PALMERSTON reminded the house of Commons how often the Government had been warned, when they brought forward their fantastic scheme for limiting the sugars of Venezuela and the United States to those produced by free labour alone, that it would soon prove visionary and absurd, for that they would, as the inevitable consequence of that cunces dun to States which could by treaty claim to be considered as the most favoured nations, be speedily compelled to admit, in virtue of similar claims under like treaties, the slave-grown sugars of Cuba and Porto Rico. What had been thus granted to Venezuela and the United State;, on their reclamations under treaties, could not, the Noble Viscount insisted, be, in honour, or policy, or consis tency, withheld from Spain. To this sort of appeal the answer of the Earl of ABERDEEN was compatible with the tenor of his dispatch to the Duke of SOTOMAYOR. He was (he said) as anxious as Lord CLARENDON could be to uphold the faithful observance of treaties. The British Government had violated none, nor would a word have been heard of this claim of Spain but for the ge neral policy of the British Government recently an nounced on the sugar question. Nothing had more as tonished him than to hear from Lord CLARENDON that Spain had always observed the faith of ancient treaties. In the course of Lord ABERDEEN'S experience he had met with nothing from Spain but constant denials of the validity of such treaties. The spirit and scope of those treaties must be determined, not by their letters, but by the constant practice of both countries in respect of them. So far from the distinction _taken by this Govern between the " subjects" and the goods or produce of the most favoured nations being, as Lord CLARENDON had said, a mere quibble, in recent treaties, concluded with Venezuela and other States, clauses had been in troduced conferring large privileges on " subjects" of the States negotiated with, where subjects were dealt with, and their goods and ships. In a w ord, we think Lard ABERDEEN holds his own in this important argument ; and we could have wished that Lord CLA RENDON had seen reason to declare that Spain had been refused an indulgence conceded to other States, not " because (as his Lordship says) she was weak," but because (as we say) she was faithless. If the treaties between Spain and Great Britain leave this indulgence optional at all, or to be decided on a ease of merits, we should say that the simple fact of its having been ap plied for at the instance of such a person as NARVAEZ, supplied the strongest possible ground for its refusal. The country which has been base enough to acquiesce in the results of his treacherous intrigues deserves no favour at the hands of freemen. But we adhere to the opinion that, irrespectively of all such considerations, Spain cannot make out her case on any existing treaty. Whilst we give the Earl of ABERDEEN full credit for having demonstrated that his own Government is in the right, we cannot but direct attention to the bitter and humiliating truths which Lord PALMERSTON read to that Government on unveiling its hypocrisy and its incon sistency on the sugar question generally. When the last Government, in 1841, prepared to introduce impor tant modifications in these duties with a view to the ex tension of the trade, and espcially the relief of the con sumer, by making the commodity more cheap in our own market, it is true, indeed, as the Noble Lord re marked, that they were assailed by Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends with every species of remonstrance and misrepresentation. They made that question the field of a pitched battle. They beat the Whigs upon it, and trode over their defeated adversaries into power. In power they soon found themselves obliged to resort to the very extent—and something beyond it—of remodel ling the sugar duties, which had been unsuccessfully attempted by their predecessors. But they produced that absurd scheme of Mr. GLADSTONE'S only, which has so signally failed, and generated these new demands and pretensions into the bargain. Mr. GLADSTONE made on Tuesday evening a melancholy rally to fight for this crotchet ;but it was an utter failure. The question remains—since sugar, so far from being permanently cheaper ta the home consumer by reason of anything that Sir ROBERT and Mr. GLADSTONE have one penny per lb. for loaf dearer done, as to be already in our retail shops (being largely bought up by dealers FLANDERS MALL. BaussoLs, JULY 14.—A letter from Bielefeli, near Dusseldorf, says, " All the workmen employed in the viaduct Schilderche struck yesterday . ; the same is the case on the whole line. They demand an increase of lfr. 50c. on their wages. This morning (the 1 I th) they have committed serious excesses. The officers and the police have been ill-treated by them:; 2,000 workmen are encamped on the road, and are demolishing the works which are begun ; the drums are beating here and a battalion of Fusileers of the garrison is going to Schilderche with their arms loaded. Further particulars to-morrow." We have received a letter from the banks of the Rhine, which states that Prussia intends to employ its whole influence in the Congress at Carlsruhe, to support its actual tariff of Customs in the States of the Zollverein, under which tariff those states have ac quired an extension of their manufactures and a degree of prospe rity which none of them knew previously to the formation of the Zollverein. It is expected that Prussia will be out.voted in the Congress en the question of cotton thread. It is not very certain that it will succeed against the demands of many places which live by spinning thread by hand against the new petition of that spun by machinery in England. There is no reason to be surprised that no foreign diplomatic agent appears at Carlsruhe, for the conferences are secret, and suspicion would attach to any step from without which should seem to be designed to influence the delegates of any of the confe derate States.

During the course of the season almost every French artiste of celebrity has appeared at the St. James's.

Au revoir, Mr. Mitchell, we anticipate great pleasure in meeting you again next season. GREAT PUGILISTIC CONFLICT.—OH Tuesday the match between Curly Donovan and the Whychford Forester, to fight for fifty pounds aside, was decided. The toss for choice of ground was won by Donovan, aid the Great Western Railway was settled as the route. The parties met at the Twyford station, and a suitable locality was selected fir the fight. The necessary pre liminaries being gone through, tie men entered the ring, arid they appeared in fine condition. Dontvan was seconded by M`Donald and Johnny Hannan, and Stocks Ind Bob Castles did the requisite for the Forester. The men sho)k hands and immediately com menced hostilities. They both displayed considerable science, and when thirty minutes had elapsed hey had received much punish. ment. At the twenty. fifth rount Donovan received a severe blow from his antagonist, but he quickl3 recovered. The fight was proc longed for two hours and elever, minutes, both pugilists being greatly distressed, when the seconds of Donovan withdrew their man from the battle, and the Whychbrd Forester was declared the winner. FIRE AT THE MANSION or GENERAL RAMSAY, NICAR BERKILLItY.BQUARE.—Yesterday (Wednesday) morning, shout a quarter-past three o'clock, as the lamplighter on the dis trict was going his rounds for the purpose of extinguishing the gas-lights. his attention was arrested by a volume of smoke, which he perceived issuing from the tear of the building belonging to General Ramsay, in Jehn-street, near Berkeley-square. Having succeeded in arousing the inmates, it was found that the back kitchen on the basement story was in a blaze. Immediate and effective assistance being rendered without delay, the progress of the flames was arrested by the Inmates, police-constables, and fire men from the brigade, County, and West of England offices, and the flames were happily prevented from extending beyond the kitchen, the contents of which were destroyed. Tire origin of the fire could not be satisfactorily ascertabled- SHOCKING OCCURRENCE DUItING A BALL AT WHITE CONDUIT HOUSE.—Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, the following singular and s icking accident occurred at a ball at White Conduit House, which followed the dinner held there on Tuesday evening, by the ratepayers of St. Pancras, in celebration of the fourteenth snniversary of the passing of the Vestries Act. In order to gratify the wish of Com modore Sir Charles Napier, M.P., who had signified his intention of being present, Mr. Ripley, the c onductor of the entertain ment, had especially engaged the pipe of the Earl of Aberdeen , and 3 number of Scotch friends, to i erform the dances of their country. The whole party were m agnificently attired in the Highland costume, and commenced bf dancing a Highland reel, in which the gallant Commodore took fart, and danced with equal spirit to any of his juniors in yer.rs, am idst the loud applause of the crowded assembly. The celebrated fullagorum" was next called ttra steps requiring for, and whilst performing some of th ee ordinary the development of great muscular incide ntpower, to that dance, a young man, named Warren, suddenly messed his footing, and fell with his rieht arm under his body. Theoccurrence at first created a laugh, er, it soon became evident, but from the fainting condition of the dare that some serious injury had been stratined. Sir Charles Napier was one of the first to run to Mr. Warren's assistance , a nd he was removed in an Insensible condition tothe private apartments of Mr. Rouse, the proprietor, and there seen by one or two medical gentlemen, who were in the ball-room a t the tiwne. On examina tion, it was found, that his right arm was broken in a frightful manner, and he was forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex Hospital, where he received the necessa'Y attention, and was then removed to his residence, in Chapel-strett, Tottenham Court-road, where he now lies. The arm is so drealfully shattered, that it is feared the entire loss of it will be the resalt. 98% pm. 54 pm. 54 pm. - CLOSING PRICES.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 16.—This morning, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Bishop, the Mayor and Returning-officer, proceeded to the Town-hall to open the poll-books, and thence to the pub lic hustings in Parker's-piece, whither Mr. Kelly was es corted by a very numerous assembly of his friends on horse and foot, with flying colours and bands of music. There were several carriages filled with ladies, and alto gether between 5,000 and 6,000 persons were gathered to gether on the spot,. The MAYOR, addressing the electors, said it had become his duty to declare to them the state of the poll. He found that the number of votes polled were, for Mr. Kelly 746 Mr. Adair Majority - 17 He therefore declared Fitzroy Kelly, Esq., her Majesty's So licitor. General, to have been duly elected to serve in Parlia ment for the borough of Cambridge. This announcement was received with deafening cheers. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then came forward and said— Once more I appear before you to congratulate you on the success which your principles have achieved in the good fight which we have fought together. Once more have we achieved a victory.—(Cheers) When last I met you here, and addressed you from these hustings, I called on you to fight the battle of the Constitution for yourse lves and your country, and nobly and generously I must say have yw fought that battle. At the same time I owe it to my own sense of what is fair and honourable, and to your own feel ings likewise, to do justice to my honourable opponent, by acknowledging frankly and fully the fair spirit in which he has opposed me throughout this contest.—(Hear, hear.) His character and his conduct have been such as to make me proud to call him friend.—(Cheers.) We fought this battle fairly. In the absence of my Hon. Friend I will say so ; but at the same time I will add, that we have taught him and his friends that wherever else their principles may prevail, that here in Cambridge they are sure of being de feated. Although in this moment of triumph and mutual congratulation I cannot but repeat the regret which I feel that, although differing from them in no wise as to our general political principles, but solely on account of my support to a certain measure brought into Parliament by the present Government, I have lost the support, on this occasion, of some former friends, and deeply do I regret that the views taken of this measure by them and others have alienated full many a honest Conservative vote to the great Conserva tive cause. Ido them the utmost justice of believing that they are conscientiously opposed to the Al aynonth grant, because they believed it to involve a religious principle, to be objectionable on religious grounds, and to be subversive of the stability and power of the Established Church.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that they have entirely mistaken the object of this measure, and that they have misstated its conse quences. It is due to myself and to all those who have sup ported me in this contest, to state that we are satisfied this measure, which has caused unhappily such division amongst Conservatives, is not a religious but a political question, between the Government of the country and a large body of her Majesty's subjects. I would ask those who advocate free trade and Radicalism here, if free-trade prevailed, how could the national exigencies and engagements be met? How could the farmer get a remunerating price for his pro duce, and the labourer a remunerating price for his labour, if you reduce the value of the land by which they live, and throw the amount taken off into the hands of the manu facturers of the north of England ?—( Hear, hear.) I appeal to the shopkeeders of the town of Cambridge, and I ask them to consider in what sort of a position they would find them selves if a measure were passed which would render, before long, the gentlemen of England unable to keep up their present high and honourable station, and their present liberal expenditure? And if free trade destroyed our Eng lish aristocracy, I ask you, gentlemen, what would become of the proud and ancient University which gives dignity to your town and adds greatly to its wealth and prosperity?— (Hear.) Once more, said the honourable gentleman, I thank you, and bid you for the present farewell.—(Cheers.) Captain PuncilAs, the chairman of the Solicitor-General's Committee proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor, for the impartial manner in which he had discharged his duty throughout this election.—(A voice,—" Ay, it was a pur chased one !"--Laughter.) He would also take leave to say, that Mr. Adair, had conducted himself like a fine honourable, admirable English gentleman.—(Cheers.) Mr. FISHER seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation, and briefly responded to by the Mayor, after which a procession was formed , which escorted the 'Solicitor- General out of the town and a short distance on the road to London, for which place the Hon. and Learned Gentleman immediately left Cambridge. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total num ber of deaths during the week ending July 12, was only 777, the smallest number we believe that has been returned since the establishment of the Registrar-General's office. This shows a decrease of 26 as compared with the previous week ; it is less by 127 than the weekly average of five summers, and is little more than one-half of the number of deaths that occurred during one of the weeks of the last spring. With the exception of bronchitis, measles, and hooping-cough, which are respectively as follows-12, 44, 34, there is a considerable decrease under almost ever head. The deaths from small-pox, which amount to' 13, occurred to persons under ten years of age. The violent deaths have been 16, of which 5 were from suicide, 1 murder, and the rest from accidents. The appointment of Mr. M'Lane as Minister in England for the United States is regarded as an event of much im. portance by those who take interest in our relations with America. The greatest possible resp ect is testified for Mr. Everett, the pre sent Minister, but it has been considered that as he differs in politics from the present Executive, he has less power than will be possessed by Mr. M•Lane, who is completely in the confidence and favourable to the views of President Polk. Mr. M‘Lane is also well and favourably known in this country, and as he is, we believe, a personal and intimate friend of the present Foreign Secretary, his appointment may be considered as evincing a disposition on the part of Mr. Polk to maintain the friendly relations with Great Bri. tain which Mr. Everett has been so successful in preserving.
