ON 'WHIT-MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, AND THURSDAY. Strong as have been the claims of this favoured place of public resort at the beginning of each season, the Proprietor feels justified in asserting, that never before did it offer a tithe of the attractions it now presents. The Gardens have been completely renovated, tStatuee and Fountains introduced. new and extensive Promenades divined, and - the most lavish expenditure in every department, will evince the Proprietor's anxiety to insure a continuance of public l'Utronage. THE NEW GRAND PICTORIAL MODEL OF LONDON IN THE OLDEN -TIME! Painted by Denson and Telbin, is the :most gigantic ichievernent ever yet produced, and for grandeur of comvosition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far exceeds' any previous production. It accurately represents ancient London— Old St. Paul's—Old London Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and all the prii. cipal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo. dery times. THE 11ENAGERIE, ALWAYS UNRIVALLED, HAS RECEIVED MANY VALUABLE ADDITIONS. To defy all competition, the Proprietor has engaged the celebrated AMERICAN DWARF TJM THUMB! m exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. Th e PROMENADE CONCERTS—the splendid Band of Fifty 'J'.irforme.rs, conducted by Mr. Godfrey—will perform a selection of ;lie newest and most popular music. The far-famed HIGHLAND DANCERS AND PIPERS are also engaged, and will go through two acts of their National Dances, which procured for them the distinguished approbation of her Dlalesty . and Prince Albert at Taymouth Castle And alt Dusk will take place the most astounding exhibition ever attempted, via. a Representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Mr. Southby (to whom in justice belongs the appellation of ' 4 Fire King") has exhausted the resources of his art, to give effect to this Lon,inn Bridge, Old St. Paul's Cathedral, and other ituildings will appear devoured by the devastating element, and pre,.ent. a heap of blackened ruins, in accordance with the best . delineations taken at the period, and the coup d'seil will give a vivid representation of a Great City destroyed by fire.

The Customs Duties Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY moved for an inquiry into the management of the Friars Free School, in Bangor; but on an assurance from Sir JAMES GRAHAM that the LORI) CHANCELLOR intends to bring in this session a Bill on the subject, the motion was with drawn. Mr. 'luau moved that an address be presented to her MAJESTY, that she will be gracio usl y pleased to give directions that, whenever her Manny shall grant the honour of the peerage, or baronetcy, or knighthood, or order, for eminent public services, no fee shall be charged thereon. After some brief remarks from the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER against the motion it was withdrawn. On Mr. CHRISTIE bringing forward his motion re lative to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the House was counted out, at a Quarter to Eight. We quote the following passage from a Morning Contemporary :—" The conduct of the Earl of Ueanr in the present contest for South Lancashire that which most fitly becomes him as a nobleman who has been all his life rationally liberal in his politics ; he has intimated that his numerous tenantry are, so far as his influence goes, to be at full liberty to to vote as they think fit. This is worthy of the head of the house of STANLEY. This is that conduct which makes him truly respected by his dependents. He interferes not at all. He gives utterance to his desire that those dependents shall be permitted to exercise their constitutional right as Englishmen.' This generous determination on the part of the Earl of DERBY which we learn from the same authority will be persevered in by his son, Lord STANLEY-will inflict a "heavy blow, and a great discouragement," on the Etirwts- TnE party, who had fully calculated on the support of the house of Derby, and drawn from it their chief as surance of a victory. As a matter of course, they will indignantly repudiate our Contemporary's state ment, who seems to be well-informed on the subject ; and, by way of raising the depressed spirits of their friends, they will make a point of giving out through the country, that they are sure of the votes of the de pendents of the house of Derby. But this hoax will deceive no one, and if persisted in, will be sure to recoil on the heads of the party who put it forth. Meantime, it gives us unfeigned pleasure to state that the prospects of the free-trade candidate are as flattering as his most sanguine friends could desire. Mr. BROWN, as we hear from all quarters, has met with the most marked success on his canvass ; many whom his supporters expected to have found lukewarm have shown themselves most zealous in his cause ; and he has even met with good-will where he expected to have encountered the most inveterate hos tility. In fact, the principles of free trade have, since the last election, spread in a most surprising manner through Lancashire, and found adherents among those who, not four years since, were warmly in favour of the monopolist faction. But this circumstance, in stead of inducing the free traders to relax in their ex ertions, should give nerve to their determination, and arin them with fresh spirit to persevere in their great struggle. However flattering their prospects, they should think nothing gained, till all is gained. Early and late they should be in the field of action, every where on the alert, with an eye that never winks, and a heart that never wearies. Crest-fallen as they are, and diminished alike in numerical strength and mo ral influence, their enemies are still not to be despised. I:hey are expert, veteran tacticians, familiar with every species of electioneering chicanery, and utterly unscrupulous what underhand means they have re course to, provided they can only succeed in accom plishing the darling object of their ambition—the defeat of the Anti-Corn-law candidate. But this triumph—if Mr. Bitowri's friends use but common caution, and exert themselves to the utmost—the ENTWISTLE party will never achieve; and within a brief space of time, we feel confident that we shall be able to congratulate the free traders on another vic tory more important, if possible, than those recently gained in the metropolis and in the cathedral city of 'Durham. Mr. Baowx—if we re.v at least. from the present eneenng ana significant indications — will be the future representative for South Lancashire in the Commons House of Parliament—a House which is more in want than ever of such a Member — of one who will not, to quote Lord CASTLEREAGH'S startling metaphor, " turn his back on himself" at the beck of a Minister, but will hold fast to the prin ciples of free trade and enlightened reform through evil and through good report, at all risks and against all opposition. While speaking on this subject, we may advert to what fell from Mr. TAILOR last night, at the weekly meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League. We entertained slight hopes," said that gentleman, "of what would be done in Parliament. There was an assembly which went by the name of the House of Commons, but he denied that it represented the feelings and opinions of the people , of England." There is but too much truth in this remark. The House of Commons has ceased for some three or four years to be the mouth-piece of the people, and is now nothing more than the unhesitating, unconditional representative of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S opinions. It is, in fact, a full length reflection of our august Premier, and the re flection is one of startling fidelity. The House, when spoken of as a body, used to be called—and is still called by 'a pleasant fiction of the Constitution—her " MAJESTY'S faithful Commons," but henceforth it should be called "Peen's faithful Commons," for it endorses all his views, and unmurmuringly submits to his ascendancy. Under such "untoward" circum stances, it is more than ever imperatively necessary that the Anti-Corn-law League should take prompt advantage of every vacancy that may occur in the representation, and task their energies to the utmost I in order to ensure the return of such " good men and true" as Mr. BROWN. We quite concur with our correspondent, who ad dresses us from Paris, under the signature of " A Cap tain in the Navy," that the Admiralty here " would do wisely to listen, without delay, to the gallant NA PIER," and "allow the old officers of our navy to re tire," in one of the several modes proposed by the renowned Hero of Acre, on Thursday the 16th inst. It will be remembered that, on that occasion, Sir CHARLES stated he had studied this subject for many years. He was convinced that, in the event of a war breaking out, it would be impossible for us to enter into it, or carry it on with any degree of vigour adequate to the exigencies of such an emergency, owing to the advanced ages of the superior officers of this service. He complained that, whether Whigs or Tories were in power, the Treasury bench appeared to be, at all times, inattentive to this matter ; and he adverted at some length to what had passed in the House of Commons, in '1842 and 1843, in reference to proposi tions that , he had brought forward for the opening of a retirement list, upon which aged and infirm officers of superior rank might be allowed, as in the army, to sell out and retire. Since that debate the bellicose pamphlet of the Prince DE JOINVILLE has appeared, and is now the chief pabulum on which the Anglo phobia cravings of his party, in Paris, are subsisted ; where the subject has sufficient strength of digestion to take down aliment that is combined with materials Iso nauseating and offensive to the egoisme and self- Lr the Lords the Royal assent was given to several ,! glorification of Frenchmen, as this royal dose is.

It is not displeasing that by the side of a Ministry which re mains hat in hand before England, the dynasty should place its hat a little on one side on the ear of one of its Members. That produces A good effect on the public. Who knows if the irresponsible hand which signed the ordonnance of the disavowal of Admiral Dupetit Thouars may not, under the eyes of M. de Mackau himself, have corrected the proof sheets of the firm, precise, and patriotic note of the Prince de Joinville ? was not qualified to bear the fatigues incident to the duties of his station—that in action, even if he achieved a victory, it might be anticipated that he would not retain his bodily powers and general facul ties in sufficient perfection to improve that victory to the full extent which its consequences ought to be pursued to. It is not necessary for us to recur to the cases by which he proposed to affirm this proposition. Yet we may notice, by the way, the pithy rejoinder he gave to Sir GEORGE COCKBURN'S remark that in our last war with America, the officers under his (Sir GEORGE'S) command were fully competent. We may be forgiven for reminding Sir GEORGE that the management of that war by the civil or Admiralty part of the service was anything but honourable to this country; though we are far from imputing its disastrous casualties at sea, occasioned by the inferior size and metal of our ships, their injudicious com missioning and defective equipments, as compared with those of the enemy, upon the gallant officers who fought the actions in which our flag was sub jected to the unwonted humiliation, even against such odds, of defeat. Sir CHARLES NAPIEIb recalled to Sir GEORGE'S recollection the fact that the latter had no line-of-battle ships with him, but only frigates and smaller vessels of war; and these, too, were com manded by young captains. "Will that Gallant Ad miral," said the Commodore, with a characteristic mixture of good feeling and unflinching truth—" will he tell me that he is as fit, at his age, for work, as he was in the Chesapeake, when he was forty, and we were boys ?" And then he read from official docu ments abundant data to establish his complaint, that promotion was so slow under the present rules of the service that, without revising that system, or remov ing, as he proposed to do by retirement and permission to them to sell their commissions, the superior officers above a certain age, and on the list of admirals, rear and vice-admirals, and post captains, it would be im possible to bring in the young officers whom it was so essential to have in active service or in immediate readiness to enter upon it. He contended that all our present admirals who, in virtue of seniority in rank, would have to command our fleets, now, must be about 75 years old at least ; two were 69 each. Of our vice-admirals he showed that only ten are under 70, all the rest above that age; that of our rear-ad mirals twenty-five only are under 65, and that the last promoted and youngest of them, Sir THOMAS .TROUBRIDGE, is 54; other fourteen rear-admirals being under 60. Of these thirty-seven superior offi cers, again, twelve had not been at sea for about thirty years past. So, again, of the first two hundred post cap tains on the list; thirty are now between 70 and 75 years ; forty-eight are between 65 and 70 years ; sixty one are between 60 and 65: and sixty-one are under 60 ; indeed, but with very few exceptions, bor dering on that age. Of these two hundred captains, no less than one hundred and fourteen have not been employed at sea during the last thirty years and more ; and many have never, since attaining their present rank, been professionally employed at all. In all these details, Sir CHARLES NAPIER certainly made out a powerful case to demonstrate how little qualified these veteran superior officers must be, from age and its infirmities, to endure the severe pri vations and duty of maintaining a strict blockade, for example. And what did he ask for these noble de fenders of their country's flag, on its true field of battle and of triumph on the sea? That the old admirals, &c., should be allowed to sell their commis sions, and enter into an honourable retire ment ; or that the first one hundred captains on these lists should be at libetry to retire upon full half-pay with the Greenwich Hos pital out-pension, which should be l OQ/. a year each. This valuable relief could thus be ef fected at an expense of only 10,0001. a year. But if it were not adopted quickly, it would be useless : for the object was to bring forward young officers of these ranks, or that they might be already in com mission when any emergency called for their active service. If this course were not taken forthwith, and without delay, the old officers, in such an emergency, it was clear, would not be equal to the duties devolv ing on them; and we should be compelled to take young officers without recent experience. Such an event, as it was necessary for the argument of the Gallant Commodore to contemplate, would call for the instant service of fifty or sixty admirals. Where, he asked, were those to come from, if they had not cleared in the meantime the list of those aged officers to whom he had referred, by a means so just and rea sonable to them, so essential to the welfare of the nation, so indispensable to the character and efficiency of the navy itself ? Sir ROBERT PEEL endea voured to persuade the House, that if such arrangements were made by Government, the almost certain result would be, that the oldest captains being nearest the list of rear-admirals above them, would naturally stay to realise their chances of promotion. The youngest captains would as naturally retire, on the terms suggested, because their chances of realising promotion were so much inferior, from their lower position on the list. But to this specious objection Sir C. NAPIER replied con clusively in three words ; he limited this privilege of retirement, &c., to one hundred captains of the age of 60 or upwards. Did the Right Hon. Baronet, at the head of the Government, mean then to call men at 60 young ? The motion with which he had con cluded, that previous to the preparation of the next navy estimates a plan of retirement should be devised with the view of rendering the naval service more efficient, and of rewarding old and meritorious officers, " was, for the present, lost." But we cannot believe that the session will be allowed to run out without, at least, another vigorous effort being made by Parliament to force on the conviction of Govern ment the necessity for adopting soma plan for guaranteeing the increased efficiency of the superior ranks of our naval service, which may be conform able to the sensible, the fair, and manly views which were thus expounded by one of the most distin guished, undaunted, and fortunate commanders who have ever adorned it, in this or in any former age. We learn by a telegraphic dispatch received at Paris on Wednesday, that serious disturbances have broken out in the canton of Valois, in Switzerland. This canton lies between the Simplon and the Lake of Geneva, and is divided into two districts, called the Upper and Lower Valois, which for years have shown great hostility to each other from religious as well as civil disputes. The town of Sion, belonging to the lower division, and situated on the banks- of the Rhone, had been seized by a party of the Upper Valois, and a general battle—if battle it can be called—was expected to take place on the 18th. The other cantons, however, will probably interfere to prevent any serious mischief, and compel them to settle their differences. It is also stated in another tele graphic dispatch that affairs at Tangiers began to assume a serious aspect, and that preparations had been made to resist the expected invasion from Spain, by sum moning to Tangiers some neighbouring tribes. The foreign Consuls had protested against this step, and those of England and France had dispatched orders for some vessels of war, in case of a contest between that principality and Spain ; but this affair is even more contemptible than the disputes among the peasantry of the Valois. These dispatches will be found in another part of the paper. The Paris papers of Tuesday are chiefly occupied with comments on the pamphlet of the Prince DB JOINVILLB, and the military operations of the Duke D'AUMALE in Algeria : the Constitutionnel, in par ticular, makes severe attacks on the KING and both the Princes, as will be seen from the following ex tract : "Two Princes of the Royal Family are before the public, one holding the pen, the other the sword, and both appear to suppose that to make or meditate war, enters into the prevailing passion of the country. It would be an error to think so. if the genius of peace has on the earth a domicile, it is in France. Unfortunately, peace, such as it has been made for us, resembles an abjuration of our dignity, and France has protested, protests, and will pretest, not through any belligerent mania, but through respect for her honour, until the full conciliation of honour with peace. Perhaps the two Princes hare keenly felt the hu miliations of our pacific regime; it belongs to their age ; besides, the unpopularity of a policy which has placed peace under the protection of fear, must have concurred in per suading them that public favour was to be gained in tick ling the military nerve of the French. Thence the chaurinism in word and action of the Prince de Joinville and the Duke d'Aumale. Conformably to the order of primoge niture, we shall examine the note before the deed of arms.

However that may be, putting aside the political intentions, this note, regarded simply in a naval point of view, is ex ceedingly remarkable. We shall sincerely give our opinion of it ; and, first, we thank the Prince de Joinville for having assigned its veritable importance to steam naviga tion, and for having worthily appreciated the apprepria tim of our resources and our national genius. If the idea be not new, what is incontestibly new is the expres sion which it has assumed, and the influence which it will exercise in its present form. Besides, there is more merit than is generally thought, on the part of an officer of the sailing navy talking with matured enthusiasm of the im portance of the steam navy. We ought to be seriously obliged to the Prince de Joinville not to have allowed him self to be held back in the blind worship of the past. His note is the flag of the new school and of the future. We shall reproach him, however, with having appeared to look too much on the present state of steam at sea as the last point of steam. It would not have been difficult for his penetration to perceive the progress that it must reach, and if he had looked better at the matter, we should not have to point out in his note a revolutionary exaggeration. For a Prince it is a bad example. It appears to us that the Prince de Joinville repudiates too suddenly the old traditions and our former system. It is no doubt with good reason that he likens to artillery for sieges our men-of-war; the apprecia tion is as just as it is new. But ought they to be condemned, broken up, or allowed to rot? No. And it is to diminish at once the majesty of the sea and the power of human art to withdraw from the theatre those vast floating batteries. Monseigneur since old thrones are transformed and subsist on this condition, why did you not think of transforming also our large vessels, in place of condemning them ? The Duke d'Aumale has nobly risked his person, and exhi bited the heroic bravery of a soldier ; be it so ; the army had a soldier the more and a general the less. This check will be repaired, we have no doubt ; but it has cost blood, shed inopportunely without fruit, and it will cost more, which it would have been impossible to spare. These are princely amusements. By what inconceivable aberration has the Mi nistry• entrusted our troops to the inexperienced and eager bravery of a leader of three-and-twenty ? Are the talents of the general in a state of maturity by Divine right under the precocious epaulets of a child of royal descent ? We pardon the Journal des Debats with having served up some phrases of the funeral oration of Bousset in honour of its living prince, its cherished pupil ; but is not old Marshal Soult better acquainted with war than M. Cuvillier-Fleury ? They have servilely been amusing themselves with making another Prince de Conde of the Duke d'Aumale, and Conde has just been acting like a corporal ! This is what Napoleon one day said to Murat, and we do not wish to have a Murat any more than a corporal, however brdve he may be, to conduit our expeditions in Africa. Let us have no princely chauvinism! We can rea dily tolerate the pen in the hand of the Prince de Joinville; but when one holds the sword, and disposes of the soldiers of France, it is not to be supposed that excellent France shall be indulgent for blood giddily shed. She is become avaricious— the period of profusion is past. Besides, it ill becomes the Government of peace, at any price, to tolerate those military outbreaks. Certainly, in the eyes of the country, it would not be with the palm-leaves of Algeria that the humiliations to which the policy of the Government resigns itself could be hidden. If, therefore, in place of success, the bulletins from Africa are the avowals, painfully disguised, of merited checks, it is astonishing that the Government does not guard better against those fancies of little wars at any price." _ _ The Patrie gives the following account of the con duct of the Prince of JOINYILLE, in respact to the affair of Otaheite " The Prince de Joinville applauded more than any one else the conduct of Admiral Dupetit-Thouars, from whom he had received a letter of eighteen pages, dated Tahiti, Novem ber 9. This letter, which a Deputy who stands well at Court, showed to several members of the Chamber, detailed the powerful motives which had forced the Admiral to oblige Queen Pomare to respect the French flag. The verbal re monstrances of Lord Cowley were sufficient to obtain from M. Guizot a disavowal of our brave Admiral. It was in vain that the Prince de Joinville had endeavoured, with the letter of Admiral Dupetit-Thouars in his hand, to prove to M. Gui zot the necessity of waiting for further information respecting the events at Tahiti before taking a step which would be a dis couragement to the whole French navy. According to M. Guizot, powerful interests imposed upon France such an act of condescendence towards England. The efforts of the Prince were without effect. But when at last the Prince de Joinville learnt from the mouth of M. Refine himself all the details of the seizure of Tahiti, he was so indignant at the cowardice of M. Guizot, that he declared that he would no longer serve under so disgraceful an Administration ; and on the same day, he addressed a letter to the Minister of Marine, resign ing his commission of Rear-Admiral. M. Guizot, seeing the mortal blow which was to be struck at the policy of his Cabinet, went adroitly to the King, who required of his son to withdraw his resignation. The Prince de Joinville gave the King a respectful, but immoveable refusal, which caused a very stormy scene at the Tuileries. The Prince at last, moved by the tears of his mother, yielded with great regret; but not wishing to remain in Paris during the interpellations on the subject of Tahiti in the Chamber of Deputies, he pre cipitately left the Tuileries, before there was even time to prepare his travelling carriage. Accompanied only by an aide-de-camp, the Prince took a place in the diligence of the Rouen Railway, and arrived at Havre in the most strict in cognito, disdaining to receive from so cowardly a Govern ment (une gouvernement aussi /ache) the honours due to a Prince of the blood. This conduct, of which the details are guaranteed by a person in a high situation, can only increase the lively sympathy the nation entertains towards the Prince de Joinville."

CIVIL WAR IN SWITZERLAND. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. We have received b y ext raordinary express from Paris the journals of yesterday, with a letter from our correspondent The latter conveys the following TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES : " BESANCON, MAT 21. " A supplement of the Nouvelliste Vaudois of the 19th of May, at noon, announces that civil war has broken out in 'the canton of Valois. The inhabitants of the Upper Valois have seized on Sion ; those of the Lower Valois have risen en masse. Each party have some pieces of cannon, and a battle was imminent on the 18th." " TANGIERS, MAY 9. " There is reason to apprehend the arrival of the Kabyles here from the interior. The Consular body have written to' the Yacha to protest beforehand against this infraction of the general orders of the Emperor. The British agent has called] for the naval forces from Malta. I (the French Consul) have re-called the Cygene. A reply in the negative is ex pected to the Spanish ultimatum. In that case the Consul- General of Spain will strike his flag and embark, if he can succeed in doing so." The Journal des Debats devotes a long article to the bro chure of the Prince de Joinville, for which, however, we have not room to-day. The Three per Cents. were done at Tortoni's at 84-70. ' Our letters from Leghorn received also by this express concur with our previous correspondence in regarding the tranquillity of Italy as assured for, at least, some time. The arrest of Signor Galetti, Director-General of the Casinval Bologna, and that of his successor (Signor Mallioli), and that of Signor Orsini, master of the post-house, and their removal in custody to Rome, remained unaccounted for. We have received letters from our Madrid correspondent dated the 16th inst., but they bring no news. The Bourse was shut on that day on account of the fete (the Ascension) ; —Times. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The noble truths you give utterance to, and the spirit of independence you manifest upon all oc casions when the public interests are concerned, and more particularly when the interests of the navy are discussed in the columns of your invaluable Journal, these, Sir, induce me to offer you some observations ; and, if you think them worthy of publication, they are at your service. I am an officer, that would be glad to be employed if I could ; but, in the present state of things, that cannot be ; nevertheless, I am alive, to every thing that affects that profession to which I have the honour to belong; and the more so, when the interest of my country, and, perhaps, the salvation of that country, are at issue. The pamphlet of Prince de Joinville on steam navi gation is making great talk everywhere, stirring the hearts and minds of this excitable people in no small degree ; and this, coupled by a " pale cast of thought" in reference to past events, may work wonders, and nerve the French to accomplish anything ; and it ,would be strange, indeed, that the man who brought the dust of the great Napoleon across the Atlantic, should not inherit, more or less, the spirit that once animated that dust. It behoves, then, the British people to be " up" and thinking ; and it also behoves the British Government to do justice, before it is too late, to the claims and merits of the old war officers and men, by giving them th a t trifling artcle " the cheap defence of nations." And wise vvoti d be, too, if the Admiralty, without delay, were to listen to, and adopt, the suggestions of the gallant Napier, by suffering the old officers to retire. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your very he servant, A CAPTAIN . IN umbl TH4 NAVY. Paris, may 20, 1844. MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The English market closes at about the prices of ' this morning, Consols for Money and the settling day being 991 .

There are confident denials of the reports which appeared in the Monte Videan journals respecting the success of Rivera, who, on the contrary, is represented by the organ of Uosas as having escaped to the Brazilian frontiers with only a small body of men, and hotly pursued by Ur quiza. In the Argentine House of Representatives, one of the Members had alluded in most pointed terms to the conduct of Admiral Purvis, as having pro tracted the blockade of Monte Video ; and al though no report of the general debate, or proceedings, is given, this is specially paraded in the official paper of Rosas, doubtless with the view of exciting the spirit of his countrymen to the continuance of the contest with the Orien tal republic. The accounts from the West India Colonies are still better as regards some parts than others. In Jamaica, the weather was very dry in certain parishes, and the reverse in others; but in the other islands, wet was the prevailing characteris tic. At Demerara, the frequent robberies are complained of, and in Barbadoes as well as in Tobago, the inhumanity or neglect of parents towards their offspring is said to check a wholesome increase of the population. The state of Cuba and St. Domingo excites much attention in the City, and not without reason, anarchy and disorder pre vailing in both. It may be predicted that, it Cuba is not kept in a more tranquil state than since the rule of General O'Donnell commenced, the rich revenue which it annually yields to the impoverished treasury of Spain will be materially reduced. The Funds have been steadier to-day, with rather a limited business doing. Consols for immediate transfer have realised 99i to 99k, and for Account 99i to Exchequer Bills have been at 755. to 735. premium, being scarcely so good, East India Bonds are nominally 925. premium.

BRUSSELS, MAY 18.--His Majesty the King of Saxony is expected to pass through Brussels on his way to London. It seems that there is to be another boat race at Ostend, be tween the same parties ; it is said that a sum of 2,000 francs is deposited on each side, and that the beats are to run from Sheepdaele to the Jasde Slykens. We do not know what Idnd of boats are to be used. The Pnnce of Solms Bramifels arrived at Ostend on the 17th, from Mannheim, with his suite. His Highness is go ing to Texas. linussEns, ILLY N.—At the commencement of the sitting !of the Chamber of Representatives to-day, M. Verhaegen made a motion relative to the accident which occurred on the ;railway on Friday, to engage the Government to give an accurate account of the cause. The information asked for by M. Verhaegen will be published in the Moniteur. Two votes of the highest importance were then agreed to. ;After a long debate : the Chamber adopted by a majority of ;forty-one to seventeen, the principle of differential duties— Iseven Members declined voting. The motion of M. Meeus to defer the application of this principle till next session was then rejected by a majority of forty to twenty-five. We find the following lines in a letter addressed from Brus sels to the Augsburgh Gazette ; though they appear to be enig matical, we believe that they give reason to say that the demolition of several fortresses will soon be brought forward —" The Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs addressed on the 4th of February last to the Cabinet of this question : Of the sums which were destined to the sections of the for tresses in the Belgian frontiers against France, are there, still remaining any funds which according to the stipulation of the treaties concluded with the London Conference are to be applied to the demolition of the fortresses of Menim, Ath, Mons Phillippeville, and Marionbourg." The Cabinet in question answered in a note, dated the 11th of April, that no part of these funds is remaining. The day for the return of the King from Ardenne is not fixed, as it is probable that his Majesty will come to Brussels on Thursday or Friday at the latest, to receive the King of Saxony as he passes through this city. He will arrive here on Saturday, by the railway, from Aix-la-Chapelle, and will stay till Monday, when he will go to Ostend, and embark on boafd tlie Princess Alice Reamer for London. DUTCH MAIL. ROTTERDAM, MAY 20.—This morning about eight o'clock, his Majesty, the King, accompanied by an aide-de-camp, came to visit the Royal Dock-yard, where the Minister of Marine had arrived an hour before. • His Majesty went on board the Merapi steamer, and after minutely_ examining that vessel, went on board the Cyclops steamer lying in the river. Before his Majesty left the Dock-yard, Captain Cherzen had the 'honour to present to him two flags taken by that officer from the pirates in the Indian seas. His Ma jesty returned to the Hague about nine o'clock. THE HAGUE, MAY 21.—The Government has lately communicated to the Chamber, a report on the navigation of the kingdom, stating the number of ships that arrived and departed from the ports of the Netherlands in 1842. We 'find that the number of vessels that cleared in 1842 was 6,326, measuring 953,691 tons. Of these, there are under the Dutch flag 2,704 ; under; English colours, 1,563. Cleared ,outwards 6,367 ; of which there were 2,785 under the Dutch flag, and 1,520 under English colours. The Second Chamber of the States-General, in its sitting, received a message from the First Chamber, stating that it had agreed to the several Bills sent up from the Second Chamber, viz. :-1. For com pleting the ways and means for the year 1841, 1842, and 1843 ; 2. That on the extraordinary tax ; and 3. That for regulating the claims of the late King William Frederick, Count of Nassau ; 4. That for discharging the- debt of the Commercial Company. The Chamber received three Royal messages, accom panying three projects of law with an explanatory memorial.—Dutch Papers, May 22. ULM, MAY 16.—Notwithstanding the very un favourable weather, from 700 to 1,000 men are daily employed on the works for the fortifications, and have been interrupted for a very f ew days only during the week. As soon as the fine weather set in the work was prosecuted with increased activity, and at this moment 2,000 workmen are employed, of whom 300 are bricklayers. A much greater number is expected. —Hamburgh Papers, May 18. KILMARNOCK ELECTION.—The election of a Mem ber of Parliament for the Kilmarnock District of Burghs% fixed by the Sheriff to take place on Saturday first. If a poll is demanded, it will be held on Tuesday. There are I three candidates, in the Liberal and Chartist interest, in the field ; but it is hinted that a fourth, a Conservative, will come forward in sufficient time. Placards were yesterday posted up in all the burghs, calling upon the electors not to pledge themselves, ss another candidate would '° appear im mediately, having strong claims on the constituency."—Ayr Observer of Tuesday. The miners of this and the adjoining counties still Continue their strike. Various meetings have been held, at each of which resolutions in support of the union have been passed. Several collieries are engaging persons, not profes sional miners, to work their coals, and as places of residence are required for them, we hear it is the determination of the colliery owners to insist upon the pitmen's cottages being given up.—Tyne Mercury. On Thursday night last six milch cows, the pro perty of Mr. Patrick Hallinan, of Glin, in the county of Limerick, were killed in the most brutal manner. The savage ruffians accomplished their fell purpose by cutting the throats and beating the brains out of the unoffending animals. The cause of this outrage was, that Mr. Halli pan had taken some lands from which refractory tenants - had been dispolsessed:=Kerty Evening Post, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND I3utdtt Optntrrit. " Who runs may read." FOIREIGN. Louis Philippe came to Paris on Monday, and again visited the exhibition of National Industry, where he remained until nearly six o'clock. His Majesty then returned to Neuilly to dinner. The funeral service of Admiral Lalande was to take place on Wednesday at the Church of St. Louis. The waters of the Seine have risen considerably, in conse quence ef the heavy rains which had continued for some days. In the Chamber of Peers, on Tuesday, M. Guizot hadmade a severe attack upon M. Montalembert, and accused the party with which he acted of .wishing to lead the country into anarchy and disorder. The Journal des Debats blames the Prince of Joinville for his pamphlet, and declares it to be imprudent and impolitic. The Journal de Francfort states from Rome that the Bishop of Orleans had arrived there on a special mission from his Government, and had already had an audience of the Pope, and several conferences with Cardinal Lambruschini,the Secretaryof State, and several other members of the high clergy. The Ansi de la Religion, a Paris journal, states that the Pope has made the Bishop of Orleans a Count of the Roman empire, and assistant prelate to the Court of Rome. The Journal de I 'Ain, published at Bourg, says :—" The Château de Ferney, the celebrated residence of Voltaire, is decidedly on sale. It is said that the Duke d'Aumale intends to become the purchaser." We find by the Brussels and Antwerp journals that one of the passengers who received injuries in the late railroad acci dent has died of his wounds. He was a baker at Hoboken, named Daelewyk. The number of the other passengers who were seriously injured does not appear, as stated in a report published by the railway directors, to exceed ten, but some of them have received fractures of ? a dangerous nature, and the number of persons who have contusions is considerable. The two females who were killed are said to have been Mlle. Bellieu, a Dutch lady, who had resided many years in Ant werp, and a lady of Hainault. According to the present ac counts the shock to the whole train was tremendous. Four carriages were entirely broken to pieces, and several others were much injured. LAW AND POLICE. At Union-hall the mess-master of the 76th Regiment was brought up from Nine Elnis, for refusing to pay the difference between the fares of a second and third-class carriage. The check-taker of the South-Western Railway stated that the defendant arrived by the half-past ten o'clock train that Morning, from Gosport, and oa alighting from a second he produced a third-class check, and refused to pay the differ ence between it and the second-class fare, and was therefore given mto custody. The defendant loudly complained of the hardship of the case ; that he had come up on very urgent business, and was detained, owing to the negligence of the persons belonging to the railway, and brought up there in custody. There was no policeman present to point out to passengers the different classes. Mr. Cottingham adjudged the defendant to pay a fine of 10s., besides 55., the difference between the fares of the second and third•class carriages. At the last weekly meeting of the Kingston magistrates, at which were present the Mayor and Captain Roberts, Michael Kerr, a respectably-dressed man, about 27 years of age, and Charles Duval, also a man of respectable appearance and middle age, were charged, the former, with presenting a letter, purporting to be in the hand-writing of the Rev. Mr. Hough, of Ham, and the latter with forging the said letter, with intent to defraud the charitable public. The Board considered that Kerr had been the most active in the affair. and committed him for the full period of three months, with hard labour. Duval waseentenced to two months' imprison ment, with hard labour. At the Thames police-court, Richard Bragger, George Bragger, Alexander Nicholson, John Horsted, Mary Ann Ash, and Rosetta Bragger, were brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton, charged with the wilful murder of Luke Williams, and robbing him of 301. The prisoners were examined at great length, and again remanded. At Clerkenwell, George Barnes, police-constable 194 G, was charged with an assault of a very brutal and unprovoked character, on the person of Edward Joyce, a shoemaker , re siding at No. 62, College-court, Cow-cross, and was ordered to pay a fine of 21., or be imprisoned for twenty-one days.

Birch sang the beautiful air from Solomon, " What though I trace," with great sweetness. The other principal singers were Madame Caradori Allan, Madame Cas tellan, Messrs. Salvi, Staudigl, Hobbs, Hawkins, and Machin. The room was rather thinly attended. Mr. H. Labouchere gave a dinner party on Wednesday to the Right Hon. the Speaker and thirteen Members of the House of Commons. At the commencement of Trinity Term on Wednesday the arrears of the respective courts presented a favourable appear ance. A very considerable diminution has taken place in the arrears of cases by the Act enabling /the Courts to determine such matters out of term. The arrears are now very trifling to what they were eome time ago. Chief Justice Tindal's rumoured retirement from the Bench is, on authority, contradicted. Wednesday being the first day of Trinity Term, the Gresham lectures were commenced in Gresham College, Basinghall-street. The attendance, though small, and during no part of the day exceeding forty persons, was more nume rous than usual ; for, before the erection of the new buildings, and when the lectures were delivered in the theatre of the City of London School, it was seldom that an audience of above ten persons assembled. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,—The unfortunate man Crouch is, on Monday, to suffer by one of the most un-Christian slaws that ever disgraced a Christian country; and it may be said, with truth, that it is almost the only relic we have of the darkest ages—ages when the foulest crimes that human beings could commit stained our national character. Those flagrant vices have long since ceased—enlightenment and religion have eradi cated them--and yet - this most obnoxious and de grading law still retains its place upon the British statute-book. What are our Government ? Are they Christians ? Did ever Christianity sanction death ? Let them examine the Sacred writings. They say the laws of England are based upon the laws of God. Is this a fact ? Can we dare assume that, when an individual renders himself amenable to the laws of society, society is invested with a power to take away his life ? Did that Being, who was the most merciful that ever visited the abodes of man, contemplate, when he said " the laws are a terror to evil doers," that those who should profess to be his followers should enact such as to deprive a human being of existence ? If mercy was extended to the " vilest of the vile," by the mighty Jehovah and his dearly-beloved Son, shall man extinguish so noble an emotion and yet escape with impunity? What is the object of punish ment but to benefit the criminal ?—this was the primary cause for its institution. But what good can result to the doomed to death by his execution a few days subsequent to his conviction ? He is frequently not in a state to receive spiritual consolation, and he is hurried into the presence of his Maker with all his guilt upon his head. Is there not some responsibility attached to those who framed this law ?—some re sponsibility to him who puts it into force ? Yes ; that God before whose bar both judge and judged shall appear, will not hold those guiltless' who have been instrumental in the murder of an immortal creature. Humanity sickens at the bare contemplation that man has doomed his brother to die. Christianity ever has, and does condemn it, and repudiates with disdain any attempt which is made to charge it upon her ; and, let it be remembered that a time is not far dis tant when these barbarous and wicked acts will re coil with fury upon the perpetrators, and whelm them with confusion—with torment—with despair. May this attract the attention of those in authority, that they may not add another crime to the many they must inevitably be charged with.—Yours truly, May 23, 1844. , - BENJAMIN. Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieutenant-General the Right Hon: Sir Henry Hardinge, K.C.R., was sworn in as Governor- General of India. ------- ----- The munificent donation of 80/. has been presented by her Majesty the Queen Dowager towards the erection of the new parish church of South Hackney.

GRESHAM LECTURES.—Wednesday, being the first day of Trinity Term, the above lectures were commenced in Gresham College, Basinghall-street. The attendance, though small, and during no part of the day exceeding forty persons, was more numerous than usual, for before the erection of the new building, and when the lectures were delivered in the theatre of the City of London School, it was seldom that an audience of above ten persons assembled. The Rev. J. Pullen, M.A., yesterday continued his course of lectures on astro nomy, the first of which were delivered last Term. The sub ject of the Rev. Lecturer's discourse was the theory of the measurement of the earth, with the manner of obtaining its form and dimensions. Diagrams and illustrations of various kinds were given. ACCIDENT ON RETURNING HOME FROM THE RACES.—On Wednesday an accident of a dreadful nature occurred near the Cock, at Sutton, to three gentlemen who were returning home in a coach and four from Epsom Races. It appeared that, as the above carriage was returning home with several gentlemen, at an easy rate, another carriage with three postillions ran against the other's leaders, and frightened them, which caused them to run off the road, whereby the coach was upset upon a bank, Mr. Punchard, the landlord of the White Hart in the Strand, who was sitting on the box, was thrown off with great violence, and broke his right leg, in two places. A friend of his, sitting behind, had his left eye completely knocked out. Mr. Ing, the landlord of the Essex Head in the Strand, was thrown off, and re ceived severe concussions on several parts of the body. Mr. Punchard, whcjs not likely to survive the accident, was con veyed to Saint Bartholomew's Hospital, in a surgeon's car riage, which happened to be near the spot. COURT. CIRCIMe4g% f-i • 1111 t s .
