A • d ort • ettnins LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1845. The Lords did not sit last night. The Commons met at Twelve o'clock. On.the motion that the report on the Smoke Prohibi tion Bill be brought up, several Hon. Members expressed their disapprobation of the measure, and at length, at the suggestion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the Bill was withdrawn by Mr. MACKINNON, the Hon. Member having previously obtained from Sir J. GRAHAM an assurance that the subject should undergo seientilic The Small Debts Bill passed through Committee. Mr. SPOONER moved the third reading of the Dud deston and Neehells Improvement Bill. The motion which was opposed by Mr. MUNTZ, was carried on a division, the numbers being —for the Bill, 78 ; against it, 52, Mr. B. DENrsost moved that the London and York Railway Bill should he divided into two Bills. Mr. MILES seconded the motion. Mr. WARD considered it unfair that the motion should be mnsle without' notice, and on the suggestion of Mr. BROTTIERTON it was postponed until t o - morrow (this day). Mr. F. TRZNCTI rose and, in allusion to what had taken place in reference to a speech of his delivered in that House on . Monday, the accuracy of the report of which, in the Times, had been impugned, declared that he had uttered . every word that had appeared in that report. A!bilr a few word. from Mr. CLIME and the CirAN caiioa the EXCIIEQUER, the subject dropped, and the iroust r *ent into Committee on the County Rates UL Thiphole of the clauses in the Bill were agreed /-- ■ e~~ 1 s , to, and the report was ordered to be received to-mor. row (this day). examinations for degrees, as there are in the University of London. Now the University of London costs the public 4,500/ a yoar ; and a new separate Irish univer sity would not cost the public leas. The whole of this additional expense would be saved by opening the endowments of Trinity College and the professorships of the University of Dublin, as the degrees of the University are open, to Catholics as well as Pro testants, and snaking the new colleges colleges of the University of Dublin. The fellows of Trinity College and professors of the University would then serve for examiners, and Catholics as well as Protestants, being fellows and professors, the Catholic popu lation of Ireland would feel no distrust of a Dublin board of examiners so constituted. The saving of expense would be the least advantage of such an ar rangement. The existence of two distinct Universities, one accounted the Protestant and the other the Catholic University, would go far to counteract the healing effects of these new mixed colleges ; and while Trinity College and the University of Dublin stand in proud isolation, there will be danger of a mark of inferiority attaching to the new colleges, and of what is intended for a boon to the Catholics of Ireland being but a new sign of their degradation. After all, what a farce it is to pretend that the exclusion of Roman Catholics from the endowment of Trinity College is necessary to its assumed object of the education of Protestant clergymen ? Assuming this to be the object of the College, but assuming it merely for the sake of argu ment, why is the exclusion of Catholics from participa tion in endowments necessary, if their exclusion from participation in education is not necessary ? A Pro- testant clergy can be educated in communion with holders of other creeds, and the restriction of endow- ments to Protestants is nothing more nor less than a pretence. The House of Lords is passing the Irish Colleges Bill at a railroad pace, which must wofully disappoint Sir ROBERT INnms, if he built his hopes upon " another place," and which proves, if proof were needed, the eagerness of that House to do the bidding of Sir ROBERT PEEL. If the Bill had come from a Whig Government how would the House have resounded with imputations of " Godlessness," and how nearly would this excellent Bill have been thrown out, which is now passing withou a division ! The debate of Monday night in the House of Lords, on the petition presented by the Duke of RICHMOND from veteran officers who had served in the Peninsular campaigns, praying their Lordships to interpose in their behalf, by supporting an address to the Sovereign, praying that the petitioners might receive from her MAJESTY some honorary distinction for the services rendered by them in the Peninsular campaigns, is well worthy of notice. The Noble Duke certainly discharged the duty entrusted to him by these gallant petitioners with much modesty and pro priety—observing, happily and truly, that it was un necessary for him to enter into any details of those ser vices, because their Lordships had on repeated occasions voted their thanks to the petitioners on account of them. It was equally unnecessary for him, he said, to dwell on the vast importance of the results of the Peninsular cam paigns—so glorious to the British arms—in the general pacification of Europe. All that the petitioners asked for was but a strict act of justice ; and without im puting blame to any one, his Grace added, without for one moment calling in question the propriety of those general and remark able distributions of medals and distinctions which had been made by the Sovereign on account of, the battle of Waterloo, and of the services of the army in the countries beyond the north-western frontiers of India, and in China, he did think that the brilliant ser vices rendered by the petitioners throughout the pro tracted campaigns in Spain ought to be placed on the same fuoting in respect of such testimonials or distinc- We cannot see how any stronger or more reasonable case could have been laid for the tardy performance of what the gallant Duke justly termed a "strict act of justice." In the whole range of modern European his tory, there can be found no parallel to the sustained gal lantry, endurance, and success which distinguished the British army in the six or seven Peninsular campaigns commeneLd in Portugal and concluded in France—a career of triumphs almost without a cheek—a manifes tation of improved organisation in the Meld, of developed and augmented resources at home, of general discipline, moderation and good order in quarters, and in action, that we believe to be without example. If medals and distinctions have been granted to officers and men engaged in single actions, however memorable in themselves or momentous in their consequences, it is to be inferred that those who have been actively engaged in the leading operations of several consecutive campaigns, distinguished by their multiplied engagements and sieges, have, to say the least, a commensurate claim on the consideration of the Crown Why the testimonials of that consideration should have been so long withheld, we protest that we are still un able to understand, notwithstanding the speech in which the Duke of WELLINGTON replied to that of the Duke of RICHMOND. The Noble and Gallant Duke objected that it was not " regular," nor " according to the practice of to interfere in a question of thi s d e . s t c h r e i their Lordships," n. Bu t how can it be said that, in the nature of things, applications of this kind can be so frequent as to have admitted the establishment of any rule of practice in dealing with them ? And even, if they had been more frequent, how can it be denied that every such case ought to be determined upon its own merits ? What form of proceeding could be applied, a priori, to a state of things, such as that which arose out of the prodigious variety and extent of the exertions of our armies in the Peninsula in defeating the mighty combi nations of NaeoLeoN, conducted by the ablest of his Generals and the flower of the French armies. Those campaigns formed, or perfected, the military reputation of the most distinguished Generals who, within the last five-and -thirty years, have exalted the renown of our arms under the personal auspices of WELLINGTON him self. We are left under no difficulty about the prin ciples on which the Noble Field-Marshal declined, so far as his voice or vote could be concerned, to comply Sir R. PEEL then laid on the table certain correspond ence respecting the slave trade, which, he said, on a former occasion, he did not think it his duty to produce. The adjourned debate on New Zealand was then re sumed by Captain Rous, who said he would not enter into the merits or demerits of the New Zealand Com pany, but he would deprive them of their charter, and give them a fair remuneration for what they had done. The House was afterwards addressed by Mr. WARD, Mr. a PALMER, Sir C. NAPIER, Mr. HAWES, Sir R. PEEL, and Lord J. RUSSELL, but ultimately the motion was negatived by a majority of 66, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'clock. One of the strongest objections made to the Irish Colleges Bill, by those friendly to its great principle of united education, has been the absence of provision for an University to confer degrees on the students of the colleges. But there is at least this advantage in leaving the question of the university unsettled, that the door is not shut against an ultimate connexion of the new Irish colleges with the existing University of Dublin, and at the end of three years it may be easier to effect this arrangement than it is now. We are glad to infer, from some words attributed to Lord SrANLEY in the Committee on the Bill on Tuesday, that the Government are not pledged against an affiliation of the University of Dublin. Lord STANLEY is reported to hove said—" Perhaps the most satisfactory course, on some accounts, would be to affiliate the new colleges with Trinity College, Dublin ; but their Lordships would be aware that there were difficulties in the way of such an arrangement. Then came the question whether the new colleges ought not to be associated as a separate Univer sity, the general meeting to be held either at a distinct place, or alternately at one of the colleges. It would obviously be highly desirable, upon this and other points, that the opinions and wishes of the governing bodies, and for this and other reasons delay seemed not inex pedient." The Government then have not made up their minds, and it might be much worse. If the Irish Colleges Bill had contained a provision for an University, we have no doubt that it would have been a new university. On every ground it ought to be the present University of Dublin, of which, properly, Trinity College Is only , college, as Trinity College, at Cambridge, is a college of the University of Cambridge ; or Trinity College at Oxford, a college of the University of Oxford ; though being, contrary to the original intention, ae only college, it has engrossed the government, and mo nopolised the privileges of the University of Dublin. Does JOHN BULL, who has already been called on to pay 100,0001. down, and 21,0004 a year for the three new colleges, know that he has not yet got the whole Bill, if there is hereafter to be a new university ? There must be a staff of examiners, who must be paid salaries, and who, though they will only be called upon to examine twice or, at most, four times a year, while the professors of the colleges will have'to lecture during the greater part of the year, will not receive salaries less than those of the professors in proportion to their lesser amount of work ; for it will be necessary to have examiners of even higher calibre than the professors of the colleges, and a higher scale of salary will be neces sary in order to get a good man. Then, too, there must be prizes and exhibitions in connexion with the THE SUN,_ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 24, 1845 with the prayer of the petitioners. He said that, in 1840, the same gentlemen whose names were appended to the document in the hands of the Duke of RICHMOND had made an application to him to lay their case before the throne ; but that he (the Duke of WELLINGTON) had stated to thorn that these were subjects - which it remained with the Sovereign and his ad visers, and with them alone, to deal with ; that he had never, either in his military or his official capacity, assumed the office of interposing in the manner now prayed, although, when he had been honoured with the commands, on repeated occasions, of the Sovereign of this country, and of foreign Sovereigns, to recommend to them officers for honorary distinction, he had al ways promptly done so. in terms (he trusted) not unsatisfactory to those efficers themselves. And he had, accordingly, recommended to those gentlemen to make their application to the Sovereign through the proper authority. He had since instituted careful in quiry, but had been wholly unable to trace either the fact of such application having been made, or any offi cial record thereof ; but he believed that a petition, in all respects similar to this, was some time ago pre sented to the House of Commons. These objections of form, and even the principle of them, we can fully enter into on the part of the Noble Duke, whose long connexion with civil office, and whose experience of courts, have doubtless qualified him to speak with as much authority on these as on purely military matters. But we can neither bring ourselves to take the same view of the difftrence which the Gallant Duke insisted on as taking the case of these Peninsular officers out of the same category with the case of those who achieved the battle of Waterloo, the triumphant close of the operations in Affgbanistau, and the success ful demonstration of our forces in China ; nor perceive the good taste and delicacy of so disparaging a compari son in the mouth of the illustrious Marshal who made it. After remarking on the numerous honours already awarded to officers who had served in some of the prin cipal affairs of the Peninsular campaigns, he denied that the services of the petitioners in these campaigns gave them a claim to any general distinctions or honours such as had been granted in honour of the battle of Waterloo, and of the campaigns beyond the north-western frontier of India, and on the shores of China. These latter were in the nature of signal and decisive victories, which had re-established the peace of empires, and illustrated the reputation of our arms and our prowess at moments of singular exigency. This had been eminently the case with the battle of Waterloo, and in consideration of that fact, the Crown had granted medals, not only to the General commanding and other officers, but to every individual in our army who had been present in that great conflict. For reasons, in the force of which he, the Duke, entirely con curred, a Noble Earl (Lord ELLENBOMOUGH) had re commended a similar coarse to be adopted with regard to those armies, composed of our European and our Sepoy troops, who had retrieved by their distinguished gallantry iu the last actions fought in the Punjaub, the disasters of Caubul—" the most signal reverses which had happened to our arms during the last sixty years." Dismissing these Asiatic triumphs, as less germane to the matter in hand, we must contend that his Grace took a somewhat invidious, and, moreover, a somewhat inte rested view of the superior claims of Waterloo. He com manded on that memorable occasion ; and without in tending, for one instant, to diminish by an iota his claims upon the gratitude of the living generation, and the admiration of posterity, for the consummate valour and abilities displayed by him in that decisive fight, we are to remember that it was the culminating point of his fortunes, as well as of his renown : the immediate fountain of those honours, whose sources have ever since so lavishly poured out upon him their unstinted bounty. Who brought him to its margin ? Of those who commanded under him, the intrepid British soldiery, who plucked the bloody laurels of Waterloo, but few among the best and the bravest ; the most tried, and the most generous of his companions in arms, were present. The honourable wounds and scars that the majority of these bore in compulsory retirement, or on other duty, were still the living attestations of their heroic achievements at Vimeira, at Aibufera, at Ta lavera, Salamanca, Badajoa, Vittoria, Orthez, Toulouse, and a score or two of other immortal fields. Their honours—such as they were,—their military rank, whatever the course of their promotion—had bee a sort of firkin possession on the territory of Tunis, and that in consequence, as the report goes, she has for this object sent rein forcements to Tripoli. In fact, news had been received that for some time past Turkish troops were landing at Tripoli, by detach ments of from 200 to 400, and even 800 men. We do not believe that the Porte really wants to make a serious demonstration, nor should it, besides, be believed that an invasion of the regency of Tunis is so easy a matter. Men who have studied the ground with care affirm that a Turkish army, unless it were a very con siderable one, far more considerable, indeed, than the actual re sources of the Ottoman empire affbrd, could not t raverse w i th safety the eighty leagues which separate Tripoli from Tunis. We arc therefore persuaded that more importance is attached to the projects of the Porte than they merit. But, however that may be, we have no doubt that the French Government has already deemed it right to address to its Ambassador at Constantinople precise In structions on the point, and to have all the representations that were necessary made to the Divan. At all events several vessels have been sent to Tripoli, and two ships of thiline to Tunis." In relation to this subject a letter in the Presse states that the Porte'sintention in landing, troops at Tripoli is to attempt a coup de main on Gerbi, and then to effect a rising in the south-eastern part of the regency, with the view of marching against Tunis. The Presse announces that the QUEEN of Spain left Barce lona on the 18th, for Saragossa and the Basque Provinces. The Cr'obe, alluding to the reports in circulation about a dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, has the fol lowing : " All that has been said on this subject is the most gratuitous and improbable invention. Undoubtedly, no one can pretend to know the future; but, unless some event should occur radically to change the present situation, it would be difficult to explain how the Cabinet could hope for a firmer and more united majority on all the great questions.". The Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS are to set out to-day on their journey to the Pyrenees. Their Royal Highnesses are expected to be at Gueret on the 26th inst , at Limoges on the 28th, at Libourne on August 4, and at Bordeaux on the sth. Their Majesties will not take their departure for En until the commencement of August.

His MAJESTY conversed a good deal with the Duke DE RIA...NzArtEs and M. D.

The want of a naval officer in that department has long been needed, and frequently impressed upon the Government by Sir Charles Napier.

WAKEFIELD, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.— We are authorised to state that the preamble of this Bill was proved yesterday, and the promoters allowed to com mence the works immediately between Pontefract and Goole, and between Wakefield and Pontefract immedi ately, by " consent in zerpting of the landowners," until application is made to Parliament for the branch to Leeds, when full compulsory powers commence. The " Admiralty Memorandum," introductory to a supplementary vote, "to provide for an increased retirerncni; allowance to 300 Captains of her Majesty's Nary," and which we published in our impression of yesterday, appears to us (on the cursory perusal we have yet found time to devote to it) an exceedingly judicious and wise scheme of compensation and reward, and to be well calculated to secure to the country an immediate supply of efficient officers, of ages at which their professional and physical powers may be sup posed to have attained their full vigour and maturity. We shall speedily recur to this important paper. earned, not as after a campaign of a few weeks deter• mined in a single pitched battle, but in the course (tor the most part) of lung, hard, and hazardous services ; under manifold privations ; against enormous odds, in the midst of general engagements, or the devastating slaughter of storms and sieges.

DERRY'S ridiculous, but characteristic protest against officers of the ar:ny addressing themselves on an occa sion of this kind, whatever the circumstances that may have preceded it, to either House of Parliament. It is happy for the army that Parliament exists for them, as well as every other class of the QUEEN'S subjects, to make all constitutional appeals to. Madrid journals to the 16th Inst. have been received. We find in the Gacela a bulletin dated Barcelona, the 12th, and signed by General NARVAEZ, announcing that the Captain- General had just returned, after restoring order wherever it had been disturbed, and leaving several columns to pursue such of the rebels as had fled to the mountains. The bulletin added that, on the 17th, the QUEEN would proceed by sea to Valencia, and that troops had been marched to that town. According, however, to a more recent communication, the Court had, in conseqaence of the re-establishment of order in the province of Catalonia, determined to proceed, on the 17th, to Saragossa. which place they were expected to reach on the 20th. The Ministers remaining at Madrid still intended to be at Saragossa, on the 24th, in order to compliment the Queen-Mother on the occasion of her birth-day. The claims of the Infante Don HENRY to the hand of the QUEEN are viewed with increased favour every day. La Guia del Contmercio supports his claims in the most enthu siastic manner. At a meeting of the editors of the Pro gressista journals held on the 15th, it was agreed that they should give no opinion on the subject of the QUEEN'S mar riage, and that they would not propose ahy candidate of their own. The kingdom was perfectly tranquil. The Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and 29% at 60 days. he other securities were not quoted. 2 3 4 106 23 50 (From the Armagh Sporting Chronicle.)

They all publish the article from the Moniteur Algeria (which will be found in another column) on the subject of the massacre at Dabra. This article may be considered as the official defence of the transaction, and in it the responsibility of the whole affair is thrown on Marshal BUGEAUD, inasmuch as Colonel PELIS- 82 20/ 2 61 10 74 stets "had only used the means recommended to him by the Governor-General." '1 he article appears in the Govern ment papers without a word of comment, but the Oppo sition journals animadvert on the conduct of Marshal BETGEMID in terms of just severity. We give the following from the Commerce as an example of the tone of the Oppo sition journals on this occasion : " When so cruel an act takes place in the course of a war by the force of danger, and the urgent necessity of defence, humanity is afflicted, but the excuse goes hand in hand with the evil. It is another thing to prepare beforehand, to calculate and command cruelty as a means ; and, what is still worse, is to attempt to justify by cold reasoning such a system of warfare. Marshal Bugeaud says that philanthropy would render war impossible. This may be ; but without a certain degree of philanthropy war becomes odious and abominable." 6 1 4 186 28% 143 THE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND CRICKET .r. THE PLAYERS OF ENGLAND.

The Turkish feet had, in fact, the custom of annually cruising in these latitudes; it was an exer cise which appeared to have become necessary to it. This year nothing is said of the fleet, but a land expedition is spoken of, and it is reported that a considerable body of Turkish troops has been landed in the regency of Tripoli, to enter by that road into the territory of the Bey of Tunis. We can easily comprehend, and indeed we share, the interest which all that concerns the safety of the Tunisian territory excites in France. It is certain that our own security, as possessors of Algeira, is intimately connected with any events that may take place on this part of our frontier ; and up to the present time, whenever the Ottoman Government has appeared desirous of making a demonstration on that side, the French Government has shown, by sending out some men-of. war on the coast, all the interest which it took in the mainte. nance of tranquillity in the Regency of Tunis. As to what con cerns the pretended plans of invasion by land, we believe that they are as exaggerated as were formerly those of a naval expedition. However, they are not without foundation ; and this, if we are wall wormed, is what has given rise to the repo r t s i n c i rculation. There is at present a war going on, on the fronti er o f T unis and of Tripoli, tribes, which dispute with each oth er about a portion of territory; it would appear that the Porte has determi ned is seise on this opportunity to make an act of intervention, and at th e same time I j between two Dudley, and Ilirm Shrewsbury and Trent Valley Union South Midland 22 s .

There are no arrivals to-day. The English Stock Market is very quiet, and there is no particular alteration in prices. Consols have been 99 to % for Money, and 99% for Account. Exchequer Bills have been 545. to 565. premium. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 102% %. Business in the Foreign Market is very inactive. Spanish Three per Cents. have been firmer at 374, and Peruvian have been up to 38% to 39. The market for Railway Shares has been vacillating again ; and what with the London and York decision, and the anxiety about t he broad gauge, there is certainly enough to occasion fluctuation. There is a new foreign line-the Central Sardinian-about to be brought on the market. Respecting Railway investments, a writer says " The combined exertions of private persons, unburdened by the patronage and unrepressed by the interference of the Executive Government, have made still greater conquests over nature. Sums of money, so vast as to startle the un derstanding, have been contributed, and in the main profita bly to the subscriber, for the construction of railroads, which in so undulating a country as England must needs be nearly level, filling up valleys and preforating mountains, which could not avoid impediments by sudden curves, and which had every physical difficulty aggravated, and the pecuniary cost greatly increased by the restrictions of the Legislature. Ey means of these railroads distances, which at no very re mote period required fo ur d a y s t o travel by the common roads, are now traversed with ease and certainty in ten hours. More than 2,000 miles of railway have been constructed within twenty years, at an expense of nearly seventy millions of pounds, voluntarily contributed by individuals, in the exer • cise of their own discretion, subject to their own control, and with a view to their own profit-a view which, if sometimes disappointed, has been generally realised, and often to an ex tent far exceeding the most sanguine expectations of the speculator."

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacHILL. ) BC NDERDA LE V. ROBERTSON. New PUBLIC COMPANIES, &c.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover the sum of 91., as clerk to an association for obtaining subscriptions for a testimonial, called the " Symington Testimonial." The defendant is editor of the Mechanics' Magazine. Mr. WILDE, who appeared for the plaintiff, said that the claim was for services rendered to this society, or committee, from February 10 to May 3. Mr. C. J. Payne examined—Was introduced in November or December last to the defendant Mr. J. Clinton Robert son, and was appointed secretary to th e comm it tee b y B owey, and after some conversation as to the construction of the com mittee, defendant said the first thing they must do was to en gage offices and hire a clerk, and report to him when he had done so. Took offices in Cornhill, and engaged plaintiff, who commenced his duties on the 10th of February. Communicated these facts to defendant. Plaintiff was engaged at 155. a week. Plaintiff remained until the 10th of M. Cross-examined by M r . T HO MAS— ToId defendant what he bad done, but not until three or four days after plaintiff went. Defendant did not say he would not have anything to do with the expenses. Witness did not say he should not; nothing was said about it till the 18th of February. Witness and Mr. Parish, who was joint secretary with him, signed a letter that they would bear the expenses, but the arrangement under which it had been written had gone off and the money was never collected. Plain:df applied for his money to defendant six weeks afterwards, and defendant said he had nothing to do with it. Witness ordered furniture by direction of defendant. He also ordered wine, and drank part of it with the committee. —(Laughter)—Mr. Bowey. a surgeon, Dr. M'Lean, and others. Was formerly secretary to the Oriental Life Assur ance. Left that about two years ago. At a conversation with defendant on the 17th February, he asked what would be the best way of paying the secretaries, and said it occurred to him the better plan would be to pay them a per centage, and said he would speak to a Mr. Gould and the other committee. men and fix it the next day, w hen they were to have a meeting. Defendant said then that he had nothing to do withthe expenses; the next day a meeting took place, defendant, Mr. Gould, Mr. Bowey, Mr. Parish, and witness were present. It was proposed that the secretaries should have 101. per cent. for their trouble, and bear the expenses, but this was declined ; another proposal was made and agreed to ; the letter was the basis of that agreement, but it was never carried into effeet. Witness had paid the porter, because he was a poor man, and had supplied the office with coals. Was engaged at the same time with Mr. Bowey in forming the " Cambrian I,ife Office." Had nothing to do with it, but from hearsay he believed it was still being carried on by Mr. Bowey. Re. examined_Witness had not received a sixpence for his trouble in forming the committee. Mr. THOMAS addressed the jury, and contended, that even admitting there was a liability, it could only be for one week, for it was clear that on the ldth the witness himself under took, and Mr. Robertson, the previous day had denied the liability. The UNDER-SHERIFF said it did not appear to him that any agreement made on the lath could affect the plaintiff. Mr. THOMAS then addressed the jury on the merits, and called Mr. Archibald Broomen, agent for patents in Fleet-street, who deposed that he was clerk to defendant, and anticipated becoming partner. In April, plaintiff called and asked for his salary. He said he had been sent by Mr. Payne, but knew very well he had no claim on Mr. Robertson. Cross-examined—Wrote that down at the time. Had been applied to by the landlord and other persons on matters con nected with the Symington Committee, but knew nothing about it. Did not remember the conversation, but knew Mr. Robertson was not a committeeman. Mr. WILDE replied. The UNDER- SHERIFF summed up, and The jury found a verdict for 91. Mr. Tflostatmoved for a reduction of the amount, as there had been a repudiation of the plaintiff's services at least on the 9th of April. The UNDER-SHERIFF thought there was no reason to re tain the writ. It was not stated in any part of the proceedings what the Symington Testimonial" was. ICING or frorAAND.—Th4 General Steam Navigatio Company's mail-packet Ocean arrived at 131ackwall Idea this day. Captain Bast repurts that he left Rotterdam with the Cyclops steamer, having the King of Holl aid on board. The Oc.ian lost sight of the Cyclops last night, but he thinks she may be here about four o'clock this afternoon. BRIGHTON, JULY 23.—The Baron L. ItOth. , Chilti arrived here this day, by the I.acket Fame, from Dieppe. SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Bagshaw Sundedand on Tuesday evening, and addressed the electors. It would appear from his address that he concurs entirely with Colonel Thompson in opinion in all great leading political questions, so that the contest between them turns entirely on local and personal considerations. It is generally thought that, before the day of election, some arrangement will be come to, which will have the effect of inducing one of the candidates to withdraw, so as to pre. vent a division of the Liberal interest, which, if it continue, will give the Conservative candidate an easy triumph. The Conserva tives have started Mr. George Hudson, who is expected to arrive there this day. His Committee report that their canvass has been most successful, many f the old Whig party having expressed their determination to vote for him, on account of his extensive connexion with railways, and his business habits. SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. —The third show of the flowers, fruits, and culinary vegetables, ex. hibited under the auspices of this Society, and for the medals, &c., they distribute, took place yesterday in the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The collection of specimens was more than usually good; indeed, it may be placed amongst the best collections ex. hibited this year, or in any previous year. A great number of prizes were awarded by the judges, who, from the uniform excel. lence of the specimens, had some difficulty in coming to a judg. meat as to which were the best. The pines were very fine; the grapes were also fine. The cucumbers were of their class ad mirable, and the more common products of the garden showed to what excellence horticulture has now arrived. The moat entitled to praise among the flowers were the piccotees and the carnations. Mr. G. Edmonds won the gold medal for the former, and Mr. Reeves for the latter. The silver cup for the piccotees was also won by Mr. G. Edmonds; the silver cup for carnations by Mr. J. Edwards. Mr. B. Hawes, M.P.'s, prize of 5/. was awarded to Mr. Bruce, and the gold medal for orchidaeeous plants to Mr. Ayres. Unfortunately the day was unfavourable to the show. Tents and marquees protected the company from the rain, and great praise is due to Mr. Tyler, the lessee of the grounds, for his excellent arrangements for the accommodation and gratification of lA the exhibitors and visitors. 2 1 4 GovERNMENT SCHOOL OF DESlGN.—Yesterday the 46% annual meeting, and the distribution of prizes to the successful 1714 students took place at the rooms, Somerset House. The rooms 8 1 ,6 were hung with specimens of the students' skill, most of which 6 1 % were performances reflecting great credit on the scholars them selves, as well as on those to whom the direction of their studies I% has been entrusted. It was announced that the exhibition would be open gratuitously to the public on Thursday (to-day) and on 01 4 Friday, between the hours of eleven and three. :i 3 / 4 THIS FOREIGN MAILS.

We publish the following observations on the subject of the Channel Fleet. They are from the pen of a naval officer The decision of the present Board of Admiralty to maintain the effective and disposable force, provided for in the naval esti' mates; in the British Channel. is deserving of unqualified er,. probation. The proporti o n a t p resent so emp l oyed equals a fifth of the se a m en an d marines voice f or t h e year. At peace in e " quarters of rbegiobe, from the extended colonies and settlement. of Great Britain, it will perhaps be found impracticable always to retain so large a demonstrative force in t he English Channel, bet the wisdom of the Admiralty in arriving at this determine' tinn to collect the present fleet, is based on the soundest vs' soiling. The proviri,ns and stores supplied to this fleet direct from our home naval establishments is an actual saving of ifr per cent., independent of repairs —obviating the expensive necessity of hiring transports to victual a fleet in the Alediter.. raneari, which has until this period been the rendezvous of British ships of war. But now less importance being attached to the value of such a position, from the rapid advances stems power is introducing into naval movements, it must be admit" ted that the eligible and effective station for line-of-battle ships is the English Channel, whether for the direct influence it exer cises on our political relations with fereivn Governments, or the confidence it imparts to the subjects of this country, w it " whom this service has been always a cherished and deservecfil prized arm of defence. Time, and the judicious improvements in paying seamen their taps in monthly a ll owances i nstea d o f the old manner , e • the expiration of three or four years, has made Jack a more re fleetly° being, and his first great improvement in his position attributable to Sir James Graham, when he presided over the Admiralty. Discipline has made such happy progress in lessen ing corporal punishments that the notion which universally pr.e" veiled that a British ship of war was unable to maintain interne' discipline, without proceeding to a foreign station, now 1 longer exists: The mutual benefit, too, received and conferred on the sailor by giving him an opportunity of laying out wages in England, instead of a confined harbour like Malta, 111 which Jack was robbed of half his earnings to make some three or tour individuals there wealthy in the extreme, is n ot to be overt°. ked; and, keepine a Channel fleet in peace willdo Much to make the service popular with the mercantile marine. The Admiralty also are enabled more efficiently to superin" tend the valuable experiments now under trial, than if thel were deputed to a Commander-in-Chief on a foreign station ; but it is to be hoyed the present Admiralty will allow mor e publicity to be given to the results of these experiments than tt furni,hed to the brig experimental squadron in the autumn °' last Sear. Up to this time not a document has been laid be fore the public as to its results; and the public, who have e n indisputabl e r i g ht to b e en li ghtened on the success or failure to , such interests, are alone indebted to the creditable efforts of the daily press. A series of circulars have emanated from the Ad" miralty, all tending to suppress fair inquiry. The results of the last lin e - o f-b a t t l e s hi p squadron were dragged forth piecemeal,' and no better auspices await the present. The only assuranc e the public can obtain is that the reports will be made to the proper authorities, with whom it will remain, until from 011 ; pense will pr ocee d i n diff erence to t h e i mportant interests involve" in the trials.
