HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. .. 27 minutes after 1 Evening •• 10 minutes after _2 5 6 1, /2 LT -reitt4k. oT timing '4/2M,4 LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 15, 184% The Lords met at Five. The Earl of DEVON postponed, until next session, toveral measures of which he had given notice. -Their Loriships then proceeded to discuss the ques tion of privilege which had arise❑ in the case of HAR LOW V. 2.,;;;Eft. The plaintiff and his attorney, Mr. Illttovna - , having been called to the bar and examined, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that John Harlow had .been guilty of a breach of the privileges of the House. The motion was opposed by Lord BROUGHAM in a most eloquont speech, which was replied to by the LORD CHANCELLOR, Their Lordships were subsequently addressed by Lord CAMPBELL and the Earl of Wicz.Low. After which, the parties who had been called to the bar were on the motion of the LORD CHANczLLon, committed to the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod. The House then adjourned. The Commons met at 12. The Lunatics Asylum and Pauper Lunatics Bill was reported. The Lunatics Asylum (Ireland) Bill passed through Committee. At the evening sitting Mr. HUME withdrew the motion of which he had given notice on the subject of the recal of Lord ELLENBOROITGH. Mr. HOPE gave explanations as to the recent disas trous occurrences in New Zealand and the Cape of Good Hope. Sir R. PEEL promised to lay the New Zealand papers on the table to-morrow, and the discussion on the sub ject was fixed for Monday. The House went into Committee on the Coal Duty (Port of London) Bill, having previously agreed to an amendment made by Mr. HUTT, imposing the same duty on coals brought into London by railroad or other conveyance, as on coal brought by sea. The Earl of LINCOLN proposed an amendment con tinuing the Id. a ton duty, and ordering the proceeds to be invested in the name of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in trust to be applied to defray the ex penses of Metropolitan Improvements. The motion was apposed by Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. HUME, Mr. MASTERMAN, Lord HOWICE, Mr. HA.WES, and Mr. EWART, and supported by Sir R. PEEL, Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY expressing an opinion that the tax on coal ought to be taken off altogether. On a divi sion it was carried by a majority of 27 ; the numbers being for the amendment, 69; against it, 42. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow (this day). The House then went into Committee on the Scotch Poor-law Bill, several clauses of which were agreed to. The House then resumed, and after disposing of the other orders of the day, adjourned at Two o'clock. If th e intelligence last received from Algeria were re• garded only as the usual succession of events in that part of Africa, we should scarcely feel it necessary to invoke the attention of our readers in that direction. Not becaust. whatever regards the condition and progress of the French settlement and the French army in that noble region, is other than a lesson full of instruction and of matter for remark, but, because the occupation of the territory— the costly price of blood and treasure which France has already paid for her possession, and must still continue to pay in keeping her own there—and the ruinous disparity between her outlay upon, and her returns from it—the charges she defrays for, and the revenue she derives from it are all matters of contemporary history, the principal features of which are brought daily, in some shape or other, under our notice. What the Algerine question, however, may want in novelty, it must ever retain in importance. Whatever the casuistry of political party, or the promptings of the national vanity may have suggested for its justification, the whole history of the transaction establishes the fact that it was a political crime ; that it originated in an act of political deception, and has been followed by casualties and disasters, which have realised the penalty that, in the scheme of PROVIDENCE, great offences are found inevitably to entail upon themselves. The previous duplicity in contriving the sustained falsehood in elaborating, and the unscrupulous avowals on rnatur- ing designs of spoliation, exhibited by the French Government during the last three-and-twenty years, were not less powerfully exemplified in the counsels and combinations which led to the invasion of Spain, in 1822, by the Duc D'ANcouLEmE, than in the whole course of their proceedings touching the permanent occupation of Algeria. They were guilty, in this latter case, to an extent even greater than in the former one, of deliberate and palpable falsehood in the declarations elicited from them in reply to the applica tions of the English Ministry. France solemnly and repeatedly disclaimed, from 1830 to the close of 1833, all intention of permanently occupying the Algerine do minioas, and afterwards, in May, 1834, elated with the susses'-ea of her disciplined troops over some of the Nomadic tribes of the desert, she threw off the mask. How her "conquest "—as she somewhat prematurely calls it—has since been maintained ; by what " razziav," what visitations of fire and sword, what laying waste and plunder of Arab villages, what conflagrations of whole harvests, and wanton destruction of human life, in predatory expeditions against the unhappy natives, and devastation and ruin of families, that conquest has ever since been waited on (as by so many fearful shadows, inseparable from the fearful object they are de,- tined to accompany)—these are matters within the cognisance of every man by whom these lines may be read. In these results—in the excited, and, perhaps, implacable resentments, of the semi-bar barons nations among whom they have intruded them selves—in the incidental expenses which their collisions with the Emperor of MOROCCO, and the formidable cavalry of ABD -EL-KADEIt have caused to them—the French Government has been taught, by this time, the price which must be paid for indulging in the luxury of military aggression. Still, as we have before intimated, all these things being now matter of history, the facts of which are far beyond the reach of argument, as they are physically incapable of recal, we should have abstained from recurring to them. A new and aggravated crime against humanity, against policy, against civilization, has, however, been recently committed by a French officer commanding a detached force of the army in Algeria, urder circumstances that tail for special denunciation. Let us say, however, that the French press has expre%sed its indignation, its astonishment and disgust, in terms which are most honourable to the writers. They have vin dicated the couamon sympathies of our nature, whilst pro testing against the dishonour which so inconceivable an atrocity on the part of a French officer has cast upon the French name. They require that a searching inquiry shall be instituted into the facts, and that the party who may he proved to have been guilty of authorising so execrable a massacre shall be sub jected to severe punishment. They are naturally and honourably solicitous that the name of Franca shall not be sullied by the infamy of an individual, or the national character for generosity and courage be compromised by an outrage detestable alike for its cowardice and its cruelty, We do but bare justice to our Parisian Contemporaries in declaring that we have never met with a more eloquent, genuine, or dignified exposition of sentiments becoming the organs of public opinion in a great nation than those which have been elicited, in their columns, by the statements which have reached their capital of this Hun-like sacrifice to the demon of extirpation. It is in a spirit of the most perfect good-will and respect for these emotions, and for those who are actuated by them, that we would guard ourselves against the supposition of imputing to the French people those deficiencies of moral principle, or those culpable delinquencies of personal conduct to which we may have occasion to allude. Our purpose is to contribute our feeble appal to the French nation to set itself right with the civilised world, with all Christendom, by decreeing a most signal punishment not only against the monster criminal who shall to, proved and declared to have been the guilty mover of this dreadful sacrifice, but also against the monster system—namely, that of her military Algerian occupa tion—under which only could he have ventured on such an outrage, or French soldiers been found to be the willing instruments of its commission. We believe that the voice of the French nation will continue to insist on a signal exposition of this execrable infamy, and we hope that PELISSIER will be brought home immediately from Algeria, and put on a fair but searching trial. If he be imitocent, he will no doubt be able to fix the blame on the guilty parties. If he be guilty, the mute but intelligible voices of the more than 600 murdered Arabs cry out for the doom of retributive justice on his head. The intelligence which appeared in part of our impression yesterday, from New Zealand, is of a most distressing character, not so much on ac count of the lives already lost, which all sin cerely deplore, as the dismal prospects which this col lision holds out for that fine colony. It is admitted on all hands that never was any settlement made by Englishmen so favoured by climate, soil, and locality. It is within a few weeks' sail of British colonies in Van Diemen's Land and New Hol land, increasing every day in wealth, population, and im portance to the mother country; it is capable of pro ducing all the necessaries as well as the luxuries of life, and from its comparative short distance from populous islands in the Chinese seas might in time become a great mart of commerce. All these bright prospects are blighted for the present, because we fear this unfortunate collision will only make the natives more hostile, and render peaceable occupation next to impossible, Much, however, may be done by wise and conciliatory measures on the part of the Colonial Government and the Legis lature. Lord STANLEY has now a fine field for the dis play of •his abilities as Colonial Minister ; but should he not improve the opportunity, and still adhere to the system which has had such ruinous effects, he must be removed from his post, if not by the Government, by the voice of Parliament and the nation. Pecuniary corruption is not the sin of English states men ; and we do not at all participate in the fears of some of our Contemporaries, that the recent unfortu nate disclosures in connexion with the Ordnance will be likely to damage the general character of our public men. The fact is, that Captain BoLDEno and Mr. BON JUN are startling exceptions to the general rule, even of our Members of Parliament, and much more of our holders of political office. The universal surprise ex cited by the revelations of Mr. BONHAM'S parliamentary transactions of 1836, and the condemnation of his con duct and of Captain BOLDERO'S much less serious pecca dillo by a Committee, containing a majority of their political friends, are strong and honourable proofs (if proofs be needed) of the high standard of public cha racter in England. But while we speak of Mr. BONHAM'S pecuniary transactions with the South-Eastern Company, as an ex ception to the general rule of onr Members of Parlia ment, we de not, of course, mean to say that no others have done likewise ; and we regret that one part of Mr. WRAY'S evidence was not a little followed up by the Committee, to an elucidation of the motives of the activity of some other of the South-Eastern Company's Parliamentary friends in 1836. Mr. WRAY states that some other Members of Parliament were very active in the cause of the South-Eastern Company ; and, when asked whether they received valuable consideration, can only say that he does not knew. Mr. FEARON, the solicitor to the Company, does not know either. An investigation into the names of the other active members, and the nature of their rela tions to the Company, would not have been further beyond the province of the Committee than an inquiry into the conduct of Mr. BONHAM in 1836, when he was not an officer of the Ordnance ; to have established the fact that no other Member of Parliament did receive bribe before, or gratuity after, would have been much more satisfactory to the public than to leave it, as it is left now, to be surmised that other Members of Parliament were tampered with ; or should such further investigation have led to the discovery of other misdeeds, it were only just that they should have been exhumed with Mr. BONHAM'S. But, with Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. DUNCoMBE on the Committee, we are bound to suppose that there has been some good reason for not pressing the inquiry suggested by Mr. Wrtar's answer. The salutary changes which have taken place since 1836 in the constitution of committees on private bills, and, most of all, the great improvement, effected during the present session, in the constitution of Railway Com mittees, have necessarily diminished greatly the possibi lity of such transactions as that of which Mr. Bortneat is now paying the tardy penalty. We trust that the new constitution of Railway Committees will be ex tended in the next session to all private Committees. A small number of Members, consequent concentration of respectability, and the exclusion of personal or local in terest, are the best securities which can be given, and are securities which the experience of the present ses sion of the Railway Committees shows to be effectual, for honest and careful decisions. And though, when the Bills have got out of Committee into the House, the system of canvassing, to which Mr. HAwEs's Committee has so properly directed attention, has been almost in variably resorted to, not less gratifying is the experience afforded by the present session of the prevalence of jus tice and right feeling in the House of Commons over all the exertions of interested parties. In all the cases of attempts to overturn decisions of Committees, with the single exception of one, where an overwhelming majority showed that there were strong reasons for differing from the Committee, the just men of the House of Commons have turned the scale against the attempts of disappointed interests. And let us hope that this may lead to a cessation of such attempts in another session. For, though right prevails, wrong is done, and in both majority and minority, on these occasions, will be seen men vot ing with an obvious personal interest, or in ob vious accordance with the wishes of constituents. And this is a far more dangerous snare to public character in this country than any pecuniary temptation. The Mem ber of Parliament who votes on a railway Bill in which he has a direct pecuniary interest, as much for gets his duty as he who receives a present from the promoters of a Bill; and Sir THOMAS FRE.. MANTLE who, it will be remembered, made a speech and gave a vote for an Irish railway, in opposition to the standing orders of the House, that he might gain a spu rious popularity in Ireland ; or the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who threw the weight of his official influ ence in favour of another violation of the rules of the House, in order to gratify his constituents' desire for the success of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway, ought not to be entirely exempted from the censure which is now so frPely meted out to Mr. BONHAM. We have accounts from Lisbon to the 9th instant, which announce a rare piece of intelligence. The Portuguese Go vernment have at last shown some honesty in their en gagements to putting down the slave trade. Official in telligence had been received from Benzuela that a successful effort had been made by the Portuguese navy, on the coast of Africa, by which three different slaving expeditions had been defeated at the same period, two prizes made, and a third ship destroyed. The preparations throughout Por tugal for the elections were going on with great activity, and it was confidently anticipated by the Government tk►at they would have a large majority. We hope it will be obtained by honourable means. No decision had been come to by Ministers respecting the projected railways. The Ex change on London was 544. Accounts from Barcelona of the 7th instant state that the resistance to the new conscription in Catalonia was extending. In addition to the towns mentioned yesterday two others Igualada and Villafranca, has also risen, and General CONCHA, who was still at Barcelona, was only waiting for reinforce ments to act against the insurgents. The Heralds, a Madrid journal, states that a dispatch had been received from the Spanish Consul at Perpignan announcing to the Go vernment that a number of Spanish refugees had left Marseilles and Toulouse for Spain, and orders had consequently been sent to the authorities to pro vide against their frruption into the country. CABRERA had addressed a letter to a Madrid journal, in which, after contradicting the rumour of his escape and subsequent cap ture, he protests his firm and unalterable allegiance to Don CARLOS, and his concurrence in the manifestos of the 23d May. He affirms that he abhors the idea of replunging his country into the horrors of civil war. The Funds on the Madrid Bourse were still further de pressed on the 7th, by several failures which had taken place in consequence of the previous fall in prices. The Three per Cents. closed at 28 for cash, and 28% at 60 days; the Five [per Cents. at 2036 cash, and 21 at 60 days ; and the Passives at 6% cash, and 6% at 60 days. The Paris papers contain no later intelligence from Algiers respecting the horrible massacre at Dahara, but the Echo de (Atlas confirms the statement respecting the numbers that died after having been taken from the cavern where so many had perished in such agony ; of 150 men, women, and children who were taken out alive, only 37 survived. The Chamber of Peers had passed the Paris and Lyons and Lyons and Avignon Railway Bills. The Dieppe and Fecamp and Avignon and Aix branch Railway Bills, it was understood, would also be passed, The Paris and Strasbourg line is to be post poned till next session. Files of the Oceanie Frangaise, a journal published in Otaheite, had been received in Paris. The intelligence is more satisfactory than usual. Captain BRUAT appeared to be on good terms with the English missionaries and the British officers on the sta tion. Tile following is an extract from the paper of the 17th of December : " On Tuesday last the Governor, accompanied by a numerous staff, and by some native chiefs of Otaheite, embarked on board the Phaeton steamer to visit the island of Mores. The Phaeton pro ceeded first to the anchorage of Papetoai, and brought to opposite the village. In the evening the principal chiefs of the island dined on board. The following day the chief Tairapa gave a grand breakfast to the Governor and his staff, at which each of the chiefs delivered a speech protesting their attachment to the present order of things. Presents were afterwards offered to the Governor. While at Papetoai Captain Bruat received a visit from Mr. Simp son, the English missionary, which he afterwards returned at the residence of that gentleman. Mr. Simpson is well known for the spirit of intelligence and love of peace and moral order which he instils into the natives who surround him. The Governor after. wards visited Mr. Henry, the elder of the missionaries in those islands. He has been here since 1797, and was the person to whom is due the conversion of Queen Pomare. On the morning of the 7th the Phaeton quitted Papetoai, and making the tour of the island to the southward and westward passed through the Straits of Haonmi and came to an anchor opposite the village of Afarraiten. The reception here given to the Governor and suite by the chiefs and the inhabitants who assembled on the beach was no less friendly than what they had experienced at Papetoai. After receiving and returning the visit of Mr. Battle, another Eng lish missionary, and going round the village, the Phaeton get under weigh and returned to Papeiti. The marriage of Capt. Hamond,of the British steam-frigate Salamander, to the daughter of General Miller, her Brltanhic Majesty's Consul-General for the Islands in the Pacific, was celebrated at Papeitl on the 15th. All the officers of the Salamander, the French authorities, and the principal officers of the land and naval services, were present. Capt. and Madame Bruat officiated at the ceremony as the parents of the gentleman. In the evening there was a display of fireworks from the vessel, and the band of the Uranie played the English national air of " God save the Queen." At TORTONI'S, on Sunday, the Three per Cents. were done at 83f. 25c., and the Fives at 121 f. 30c. The following are the quotations, at Lyons and:Marseilles, for the new lines of railway : MARSEILLES, JULY 9.—Nlarseilles and Avignon, 960 f.; Boulogne, 620 f.; Orleans and Bordeaux, 675; Yierzon, 740 f ; Avignon and Lyons (Talabot), 531 f. 25c. ; ditto (Sebastiani), 510 f. ; ditto (Compagnie Meridionale), 500 f. ; Bordeaux and Cette (Espeleta), 502 f. 50c. • Toulon, 496 f. 25c.

Her Mc.j :sty and Prince Albert, and their august visitors Le sing and Queen of the Belgians, left the Nine Elms terminus of the South-Western Railway, by a special train, at half-past nine o'clock this morning, for Gosport, for the purpose of reviewing tl - e naval squadron. After the grand review, the illustrious party will proceed to the Queen's new marine residence, Osborne-House, Isle of Wight, where they are expected to pass a few days, and will then return to the metropolis. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRCHELL.) BENDREY V. PROSSER. The plaintiff in this action is a wholesale grocer, the de fendant a retailer, in Golden-lane, Barbican. Mr. THOMAS appeared for the plaintiff, and said that he was willing to shorten a long case by admitting all payments except two, to the amount of 171. 16s. 4%d., which he had to contend had been paid to a person unauthorised to receive them. They had, ever and over again, offered to refer the matter to arbitra tion, and would do so now if defendant's solicitor would under take to pay if he lost. This offer was rejected, and, after a long:and tedious ex amination of witnesses, The UNDICR,SHERIFF said it was quite " unconscionable" to expect the jury to go through an account of three or four hundred items, item by item ; to do justice to it, it would pro bably occupy a whole day. The case, however, was cut short, in consequence of one of the witnesses proving himself to be a partner of plaintiff during part of the time, and a nonsuit was claimed, on the ground that he ought to have been a party to the action, and also that he was an interested witness. Mr. TNOMAS contended, that as the action was one for a balance of account, and part of the goods had been delivered after the partnership had been dissolved, plaintiff had a right to sue. The UNDICA..SHIRIFF expressed himself doubtful on this point, but inclined to an opinion that the plaintiff could not, as the whole account had been delivered from the commencement. It was ultimately agreed to refer the matter. mumaN v. LLOYD. This was an action on a bill of exchange. The defendant was the drawer, and resides at Liverpool, the plaintiff at Man chester. The plea put on the record was that due notice of dishonour had not been given. No person appeared on the part of the defendant to support the plea ; the facts, there tore, were not gone into, except proof that the bill was dis honoured in London one day, arrived at Manchester the next, and notice given on the day after. The acceptor had been sued at the Liverpool spring Anises, and became bankrupt. The present action was brought to recover the amount of tee bill and costs.—Verdict for plaintiff.

In the Canadian papers, received to-day, we have very sa tisfactory proofs afforded of the energetic and humane exertions of the more fortunate inhabitants of Quebec in affording relief to the sufferers by the dreadful conflagra tion. That so much should have been accomplished, espe cially by some of the poorer classes, is most praiseworthy. The following will give some idea of what was effected :- 1. The sales of provisions from the country, sold at re duced rates to the sufferers, amount at present to 2611. 14s. 2. The number of sufferers (amounting to upwards of 10,000 rendered houseless) who remained unprovided with lodgings in the dwellings of the other inhabitants, during the night after the fire, was only 46 ! At present there are only 88 of the sufferers at the Old Custom-house, the others being still provided for by the inhabitants. 3. Clothinghas been furnished to 5,488 persons, amount ing, according to a low estimated value, to 1,329/.lBs. /7.,9r persons were relieved with mbesides 69/. given un d er pecu ao4rn. :i D yr c, u ua r m i n i n s g otua t in h ac e ien fi sg. r s t t o w 3 e ,9 e 5 k 3 , 5. Stray articles, amounting to about 1,000/., have been recovered, chiefly by the exertions of the police, and distri buted to their owners, under the superintendence of Robert Symes, Esq. It will be remembered that the services of the ladies in assorting the immense quantities of clothing was zealously given, and was most valuable. Indeed, the conduct of the whole population of Quebec, of all sexes, classes, and de scriptions, on the occasion of the late calamity, does them the greatest honour, and to none more than the poorer classes in the town and adjacent parishes, who, mostly gra tuitously, lodged, and, in many i nstances, led and clothed the sufferers, amounting to about a third of the whole popus lation of Quebec. If the calamity has been great, it never' was met in a better spirit in any country-a spirit which indeed is " doubly blessed." The number of passengers arrived at Quebec up to the 21st ult. was 12,739, being an increase over the number to the same time last year of 3,886. The accounts from the United States relative to the grow in appear to be conflicting. There are some hopes, judging by the tenour of to-day's letters from the Brazils, that the increased duties on British pre duce will not be enforced at Rio on the Ist instant as proposed, but that a delay will be accorded to ascertain what has been done in England. In the meantime trade at Rio necessarily suffered very much. There continues to be a fiat market for the Public Se curities, the state of affairs in Spain no doubt co-operating with the unsettled weather.

REGISTER ! REGISTER ! REGISTER ! We call our readers' attention to an advertisement over our leader, from the National Anti-Corn-law League, offering forms of claim and instruction to qualified free traders who are not on the register, free of any charge. We cannot impress too often upon our readers that the franchise is a right inherent on the freeholder, not for his own benefit, but for that of the community of which he forms a part. And that any free-trader qualified to be an elector of Middlesex, in neglecting to register, is committing a twofold dereliction of his duty, seeing that that county is all important; it takes precedence in elec tions, and therefore is looked upon as giving a tone to the general feeling of the country for other counties to imitate. The only way we can expect to be rightly governed, as a nation, is, by having good and true men to represent us in Parliament, and that is to be brought about by a strict attention to the register. THREE SISTERS MARRIED TO THREE CLERGYMEN AT ONCE.—On the 9th instant, at St. Mary's Church, Swansea, by the Rev. David Griffith., officiating minister, the Rev. George Robinson Thomas, of Charlinch, Somersetsbire, to Miss Agnes Nottidge, of Brighton; also, at the same time and place, by the Rev. D. Griffith,, the Rev. Lewis Price, of Preston, Dorsetshire, to Miss Harriet Nottidge, of Brighton ; also, at the same time and place, by the Rev. D. Griffiths, the Rev. William Cobbe, of Bridgewater, to Miss Clara Nottidge, of Brighton. The brides, who are three sisters, wore very strange and peculiar dresses for such an occasion. Each had on a white hat and black veil; they are followers of a certain fanatic, who pretends to have received some wonderful testimony from the Almighty, and predicts that the end of the world is at hand. He is now in Swansea, and is, or rather has been, a clergyman of the Established Church.— The Welshman. BURGLARY IN BOW -STREET, AND CAPTURE OF THREE BURGLARS.—Yesterday morning, at ten minutes past two o'clock, a daring burglary was committed on the premises of Mr. Whelpdale, landlord of the Marquis of Anglesea wine -vaults, in Bow.street, one door from the police-station. The burglars effected an entrance into an empty house, and passing over the back area wall into the yard of Mr. Whelpdale, they commenced breaking open the back doors, the noise of which awoke Dr. Douglas, who occupies the adjoining house, and on looking out of the window he observed the burglars entering Mr. Whelpdale's house. He imme. diately dressed himself, and proceeded to the station in Bow-street, where he procured the assistance of Sergeant Chadwick and several of the constables; who got over the wall of Dr. Douglas's house to the premises of Mr. Whelpdale, and rushing into the house, they captured the three burglars, who were busily engaged ran sacking cupboards and drawers. DRUNK, OR IN .4 FIT P—A person calling him self the " Rev. Jonathan Crowther," a Wesleyan preacher, was taken before the magistrate at Lambeth Police.court yesterday, charged with having been found drunk and incapable of taking care of himself in St. Andrew's.terrace, Waterloo -road. The de. fendant wat: found by the police lying in the Street in a senseless state, and surround, d by prostitutes ; but his watch and other pro. perty he had about him had not been stolen. The defendant's friends came forward to assert the "reverend" minister was sub ject to fits, and that he was quite sober a short time before he was found. The defendant also gave the same account of his being found in the street, and he was discharged, though the police were inclined to think he was drunk at the time. DARING ROBLIERIES.-011 Saturday information was received by the police of the following daring robberies : One on the premises of Carey, Esq., 15, Bedford-square, where a large quantity of valuable silver plate was abstracted. The robbery is supposed to have been committed by one of the thieves termed " area sneaks." Another robbery was perpetrated by means of skeleton keys at the warehouse of Mr. Peacock, IS, Steward.street, Old Artillery-ground, Spitalields, the thieves carrying off upwards of twenty pieces of valuaole silk velvets and other goods in a most daring manner, the place having been left only for a short time at three o'clock in the afternoon, when the robbery was committed. THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT BRENTFORD.-At Prentford petty sessions yesterday John Leary was committed to Newgate for trial, charged with stabbing John Eldridge with a pair of scissors. Maria Pearce was also brought before the magistrates, 'charged with striking Thomas Kent on the head with a poker; but as the man is at present in great danger, and unable to ap k ear . against her e she was remanded, 2 18 1 4 2% 10 77 221/2 13 5 3/ 8 5% _2IA 38 1 ,,f, 19% 3 1 % 25 1 , 6% s 2% 2 1 / 8 20 1% 2 1 / 2 3% 8 I A 4 "% s 1 7 :- 1 13A 2% 3,% 1 8 2 9 A 21% 214 29 % 61 /: 1 3 / 4 4% SPORTING. (PROM h.wT. S ) in Ireland, I will not have, because Irish horses never run well immediately on their crossing the Channel—Harkaway to wit. The remarks I applied to Godfrey will serve also for Little Hampton. Nereus, 1 hear, will not go. Extravaganza, from pedigree, I should imagine could not stay the distance. None but an April Noddy, I should think, would back the horse of that name ; and Ambition's, Duke of Kent's, and the Albemarle filly's chance, I should pro nounce hopeless. After a careful consideration of the merits of all the horses en eaged in this great race, I fix my faith either on Lothario or Milton, with a slight preference for the former. To the Derby Handicap there are 52 subscribers, and as nothing is got by not running, we are sure to have a large field for it. It would be absurd, without the slightest knowledge of what will run, to pick out the winner; but presuming Semiseria, Sweetmeat, The Pride of Kildare,Sir Abstrupus, and Best Bower to go, I should think they would compose the front rank at the finish, and that out of that small lot I anticipate for once seeing Semiseria first. The Free Handicap will afford a nice race between Sir Abstrupus and Beaumont; and if the former does not go for the Derby Han dicAp, I think he can just win—at all events, it is sure to be a good race between the two. On Friday we have the Liverpool St. Leger, which will be de prived of a great deal of its interest by the withdrawal of Mentor. I never had an idea that this horse would start here, as enough of his capabilities has been disclosed at Newcastle. Certain it is, his defeat would materially alter the St. Leger betting, and his not running will have the effect of keeping him firm in the market. For this race I expect to see at the post Miss Elis, Pantasa, Ly curgus, or Vaudeville, Fitzallen, Ould Ireland, and The Baron. At Tattersall's yesterday they took as little as 6 to I about Pan tasa, whose chance, judging from his position in the Derby, I should think was a first-rate one. And I fancy myself he will be found the winner. But for the objection I have previously wade against Irish horses running on their arrival in England, I should have thought Ould Ireland a dangerous animal to be against. The Baron, at the last Curragh meeting, won the second class of the Madrid from Highwayman, a colt that has a good deal of running about him, but I fancy he will find the distance too far for him on this occasion. The Grosvenor Stakes has fourteen subscribers, and I have no hesitation in awarding them to Sweetmeat, with the pleasant weight of 7st 11b on her. The Cure and Fitzallen will no doubt run forward, but can never catch Mr. Hills mare. The Stanley and the Bentinck Testimonial Stakes I say nothing about, not having the entries for the former or the weights for the latter by me. At the Corner yesterday there was some spirited Derby betting, and the "Squire" created no little sensation by taking 15,000 to 225 about his colt King Charles, for the Derby, and consoled him self by saying that if he did not win he could always get 300/. for him as a hunter.

ITOME CIRCUIT— CHELmSFORD.—The Commission for the county of Essex was opened here yesterday by Lord Chief Justice Tindal. There are 32 prisoners for trial. The Newmarket July meeting, although a little superior to that of last year, when only five races were run during the three days, was a wretchedly dull one. The only remarkable feature in it was the introduction of the telegraph, which was much needed to prevent the unwary being " picked up" by those who had the good luck to ascertain what horses really would start. In the October meetings I have no doubt that the printer of the lists will be compelled to prefix numerals to the nominations—as it was the telegraph was useless to the betting man unless he had both a card and a list. The announcement that Lord George Bentinck would be the junior steward of the Jockey Club, in the room of Lord Stradbroke, whose three years had expired, gave great satisfaction to all classes of sportsmen. Woe be now to those individuals who have been of late years so industrious in making favourites safe. Lord George is armed with treble power, and I think the public already have a sufficient acquaintance with him not to doubt that he will make use of it to its fullest extent when required. His first duty will be of course to examine into the history of the Idas plot, which seems to have been discovered on purpose to give him an opportunity of showing his capabilities for the office which has been conferred upon him. I will now glance at the results cf the week. The meeting opened as usual with the T. Y. C. Handicap, which Paultons won from two wretches that could scarcely beat a donkey. The betting men laid 3 to 1 against the winner, who may be said to have won all the way. Then followed the race of the day, the July Stakes, for which nine were saddled and started. Moonbeam, the favourite at Tattersall's the day before, was beaten very early in the race, so soon indeed that her party insist that she must have been amiss. Smuggler Bill, fur whom I had a slight prediliction from seeing him backed by reputed good judges, ran very respect ably. I think I may take some credit to myself as being the only sporting writer that recommended the winner to the attention of the public. I felt convinced she was the only opponent that the Smuggler had to dread. She is a remarkable fine scare, and re sembles her sire in every respect, even in her temper. The pace was never first-rate nor the race in difficulty after Nat got his mare through the ruck of horses. WEDNESDAY.—Nothing could be a more hollow affair than the match between Science and Blanchie ; the latter, with 7 to 4 on her, was beaten by four lengths. The sweepstakes that followed was won by Colonel Peel's Seakale filly, beating three others by a neck, and the aid of Nat's fine riding. The winner was claimed for 100 soya., and will, I should think, pay her way. Panther lost his match with Hartshorn entirely by his temper : he ran out at last, and was beaten a length. The result of the 50 Sovs. Plate was a startler to nearly every body that saw the race. lonian, said to be better than the winner of the Derby of 1844, with 3 to 1 on him, was beaten with the greatest ease by Metal and Keppel, animals of a very different class from that of Col. Peel's horse. Nat, however, in order to make some amends to those gentlemen who had so freely backed his fa vourite, won for them the Town Plate, beating five others, amongst them Stamp, a mare much fancied for the Oaks. On Thursday Lord Exeter surprised the fielders by winning the newT.Y.C. Sweepstakes withTunick, and Lord Chesterfield, as I anti. cipated, with his Freelance made sad havoc of the field in the Ches terfield Stakes. The Liverpool Meeting commences on Wednesday, under the able stewardship of Mr. Mostyn, Lord Sefton, and Lord March. On Wednesday there are five races down in the list, four of them only will be run, as the Black Prince will walk over for the Pro. duce Stakes. The Croxteth Stakes will be, as usual, the trial race of the meeting, and afford the public a peep at the schoolmasters of the different stables. The entries for it, as well as the Maiden Plate, have not been made public. The Sefton Stakes has eight subscribers, and the only animal that in my opinion has the slightest chance with Lord George's lot is Extravaganza. To the Mersey Stakes there are 22 subscribers, and in spite of Princess Alice's defeat at Ascot nothing that has as yet been out, or talked of in private, can, in my opinion, beat her. On Thursday the Foal Stakes will be reduced to amatch between Sowerby and Chertsey, and won by the latter. I now come to the Cup, upon which there has been some spirited betting. There were 131 horses named for this race, but only 23 have been left in, as most of the horses that were nominated for it on the Ist of January are either out of training, or else have been running so frequently as to have destroyed any chance they might have had of winning. lam convinced that if the horses were named three months later in the year it would materially benefit the race. As Heseltine has out of his lot only left Winesour in, and the public being very fond of backing his judgment, Winesour has become first favourite, with every probability of remaining so to the last. Up to the week before last he had run no less than fourteen races, and been beaten in five of them. His best performance was at Newcastle, for the Cup, where he beat Marian Ramsay and Pagan, but then it should be borne in mind that Marian Ramsay had been running all over the country, and consequently was very stale ; and that Pagan is so uncertain a horse that no line can be got by him. According to the account in the paper, Winesour only won by half a length ; now, I think if he is good enough to win such a race as this, he ought to have disposed of his two op ponents much easier. The stable, lam told, mean winning with him, and it is rumoured that Mr. Bell has told Heseltine that he should remove his horses from him unless he won the Liverpool Cup. This may be consolatory to his backers, who are numerous and fond, but I am not one of them, and do not expect to see him I follow up his success at Newcastle. Had not Corranna been run ning so at Worcester, I should have thought his chance (with Bst 61b) by no means to be despised ; as it is, 1 am afraid he has had too much taken out of him to have a prospect of getting in 1 1 front here. Mr. Mostyn's Milton, 4 yrs, 6st 121 b, upon the strength of his running at Chester for the Cup, where, with fist 81b, he ran third to Intrepid, fist 61b, has been strongly and deservedly supported. He is a fine, wiry colt, with a good turn of speed, is very nicely weighted, and will be very near winning. In fact, I see nothing that should beat him unless it is Lothario. This horse, it will be recollected, by the assistance of Nat's riding. and with Bst Ilb, beat Inheritress and a large field for the Ascot Stakes. In heritress subsequently won the Northumberland Plate with little dif f iculty, thus enhancing the importance of Lothario's victory. This horse only came into the market on Sunday, when 12 to 1 was taken with avidity about him; he is now at 8 to 1, and will at starting be a still better favourite. His party are very sanguine of winning with him, and if jockeyship can do it, why I think we shall seem him chronicled as the winner of the Liverpool Cup of 1845. Trueboy, Bst 21b, is well in, but is too uncertain a horse ever to back ; there are few horses of the same class as Trueboy finish so badly as he does : if his temper is not disturbed he will run very forward. Mickey Free must have vastly improved to be able to win with 7st 12Ib on his back. The Best of Three's shoulder being put out, has put his chance for this race out also. However, as his owner has God frey, Lightning and Trueboy to run for him, he cannot very much cry out against Dame Fortune. It is a somewhat singular fact that when Dawson wins this race, as he has done this last two years, like Mr. Forth, when he wins the Derby, he always does it with an outsider. In 1843 Pompey was all the rage, and yet Aristotle, with 10 to 1 against him, beat him easily. In 1844 Aristotle was the favourite at 3 to 1, and yet he suc cumbed to the Era, about which horse 6to I went begging. This year, perhaps, the same result may fellow, and Rowena or Light ning be found superior to the present favourite of the stable, True boy. Godfrey's running: at Worcester was very creditable to him, but I think has destroyed his chance of this race. He has been running a great deal lately, and Ido not like a stale horse for a great race like the Liverpool Cup. Rowena is much fancied in some quarters, and many have taken long odds about her winning this and the Goodwood Stakes. I consider her about as likely to win the former as the latter race. Last year she won the Cleveland Handicap at Doncaster, with sst 81b on her, beating by a neck Semiseria, Sst 61b, the PriJe of Kildare, Est 21b, and the Knight of the Whistle, 9st. This is the only race she has ever won, and as the distance was only a mile, I do not consider I should be doing right in recommending my readers to back her. A good deal of money has been got out of the Iron master by parties who were fortunate enough to get the " office " about him, and I have no doubt Ms withdrawal will give great dis. satisfaction. He is reserved for Goodwood, where his chance for the Cup is by no means a bad one. Everton and Brunel Ido not like. The Dog Billy is only a plater. Warp, in spite of his recent victories RA !
