FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OP YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Bill for provoking commercial war fare, and promoting commercial perjury, comes on this evening for a third reading. The House of Commons has one more opportunity, if it sees proper, of rescind ing its past votes. Of course we have no expectation of so salutary a repetition of that recent process. It is not the less our duty, even at this, the eleventh hour, to repeat our protest against the passing of such a measure as this Sugar Bill. We protest against it on' the plainest grounds of international policy—grounds which, if admitted, must be held paramount to any an ticipated temporary benefit or relief. Admitted they are, it seems, by an able weekly organ of that party, whom Mr. Hume on Thursday described as " the free traders par excellence, to whom the. Right Honourable Baronet was indebted for his majority." That organ affirms that the only difference between free and slave labour produce—but admitting both on the same terms—is, that " We shall by this measure give just cause of offence and estrangement to many of the largest and best customers we have, and provoke measures of a retaliatory kind." Is it not an ominous sign of the times, that clear-headed men should begin by describing a measure in these terms, and end by applauding their friends for voting for it?—for maintaining by their vote Ministers guilty of a measure meriting the above description! A measures which gives just cause of offence must be a measure which infringes justice. The measure in question is confessedly one of unprecedented commercial innovation. It is, according to the above autho rity, one of injustice as well as innovation. It is, never theless, to be voted for. Why?—Answer : Forty thou sand tons of sugar. It is a measure, as Lord Palmerston observed, authorising Government to " take to them selves the power of investigating and judging the in ternal institutions .of all the different colonies and tropical countries, and under the pretence of maintaining the protection of West India produce, they were to be allowed to open the market to the produce of any country the institutions of which they should determine to be suffi ciently tinged with freedom."—What can justify the con sent of Parliament to such an unheard-of internationa inquisition ?—Answer : Forty thousand tons of sugarl It is a measure, as Mr. Labouchere observed, in effcc• amounting to " a proclamation of commercial war with Brazil and Cuba, which called on the people of this country to make great sacrifices for no . practicable or intelligible object, .to exhibit themselves in the eyes of the world as a people who were unable to carry their own principles into effect, introducing a system of extensive fraud in the commercial world without in any degree benefiting . the negro population held in sla very in foreign countries." What can blunt the edge of independent opposition to such a measure ? Answer— Forty thousand tons of sugar. It is a measure, as Mr. Hawes observed, imposing on British Consuls duties of a novel and objectionable nature :—" The Consul was not only to receive the foreign declara• tion as to the origin . of the sugars about to be shipped for consumption in England, but he was to make a declaration upon that declaration—that he believed it to be true. Now, this was not a duty which ought to be imposed on a British Consul ; - it was a totally new and an unprecedentedly onerous duty, and, moreover, it would, he apprehended, give rise to much fraud, or at all events create a vast temptation to persons to lend their sanction to fraudulent shipments of sugar." What can justify a measure imposing these odious, one rous, and it was shown useless functions? Answer— Forty thousand tons of sugar. Now, we do not pretend to any extraordinary pitch of heroic virtue. W e have never denied ourselves a lump of sugar, from childhOod up, on the African argument, or any other. But had the alternative been offered us— will you mortify your sweet tooth till this day twelve. month—will you abjure all part and lot in these forty thousand tons, which, it seems, outweigh, in the minds of some parties, every higher, every moral and inter national consideration of policy—Hill you bear your share, or double or quadruple your share. in whatever burthen such temporary obstruction of this particular import might have entailed, as a matter of revenue-- would you risk such, or tenfold such consequences — accept your own share, or tenfold your share in them— or will you make yourself an actor in this solemn faree? —will you aid in dragging down this majestic England to the level of this miserable cabal—this wretched hud dle of hypocrites and their dupes ?—we affect no sublime public spirit ; but we think we know our answer. And we think it would not be—Forty thousand tons of sugar. There is short-sightedness in this materialism. STANDARD.—Fourteen or fifteen years ago the constitution of the House of Commons, how conveniently soever it worked for Ministers and parties had become intolerable to the people. The Reform Bill was intro duced with a bad design, and with many gross defects; but the people eagerly snatched at anything which would relieve them from the system that placed them under the necessity of choosing between one of two great parties of the aristocracy, and left them (as in 1829) absolutely with out the slightest power to remonstrate upon any occa sion, when these two great parties might happen to agree. The Reform Bill, pruned of some of its defects, but not of all, was carried ; and the Duke of Wellington, fore seeing consequences which occurred to the minds of very few among its opponents or supporters, asked the signi ficant question, "How, under the new law, the King's Government was to be carried on ?" The question was understood, and perhaps with reason, as an interrogative argument against the Bill ; but, however understood, it involved this very just assumption, that the Government must be carried on in some manner very different from that manner of which the country had experience. Be fore the passing of the Bill in question, a large amount of Borough influence—in the hands of Tory and Whig noblemen respectively—formed the nucleus of two great parties, and possessed sufficient power to render impossible the formation of a third. The utmost that the . inde. pendent representatives of the people could accom plish was, to adjust the, balance of these two parties, or, as public opinion prevailed, give preponderance to the one or the other. This arrangement won derfully facilitated and simplified the conduct of the Government. A minister remained in office while his party numbered a majority, and while in office he was sure of the support of that majority. Divisions or mutinies on either side of the House were rarely heard of, for this obvious reason, that it was impossible to damage the Minister, or party leader, without, in a greater degree, damaging the party to which the mutineer or malcontent belonged. The Reform Bill totally changed this state. Interests r ange the it $ and opini ons ou t o f d oors b ecame th e rallying points of parties, whi c h o f course b ecame as numerous an d hete rogeneous as th ese i nterests an d op i n i ons ; an d i n or d er becameim ply n e two-fold ooss a d r i y v si to o n mars in t h h e a 1 H o o u n s l o o f Commons, two sides of the House respectively such parties as most nearly approached each other, in interest and opinion, without too rig l orous y exacting what it was impossible to obtain. Thus, all who wished to maintain all the instiaitions of the country, or any one of them, though indifferent to the fate of the rest, constituted the Conservative party, while all that sought violent changes in any institution (if indifferent as to others), or in all, fell into the opposite ranks. This was, unquestion ably, for the people, a better division than •that of the Tory and Whig days ; but it is one greatly more difficult for a Minister to deal with. In such a division, the Minister or party leader has absolutely no power of his own—nothing but the opinion of his parti sans to support him, and no means of influencing their conduct, except by plainly announcing his purpose to abdicate, if he do not receive a confiding and a cordial support. It is most unjust to treat such hnnounce meat as a threat—it is the (lc claration which every honest man makeS in parallel circumstances in the most ordinary transactions of life. If the lawyer's instructions are not attended to he throws up his brief ; if the physician's prescriptions are over ruled he takes leave of his patient. If the pilot is pushed from the helm, he hails his boat, and bids good bye. In the same way the Minister, or party leader, must either have a 'confiding support or he must retire. Since the Reform Bill, 110 must be a bone fide leader of his party, or he must be its iMplicit slave. The Reform Bill, which has thus 'seriously' diminished the power of a Minister over his party, reducing him from the absolute master that he once was, to a director upon sufferance, has immeasurably increased the amount and difficulty of the work to be done by him with this diminished power. He has not only to reconcile conflicting interests and ad verse opinions tin his own ranks—of which there will be a plenty, let the party agree never so well on a general principle—he haw to satisfy that large-portion of the public, who think that the great constitutional change of 1832 is not to be absolutely barren of practical results. Until within the last 12 or 15 years the domestic govern ment of the country was a business almost of routine, but now it has become, whether for good or for evil, a great task of reconstruction, from which no Minister can withhold his hand. There is not a party or section of n party in the country which will dispute this as a general necessity,' though each has, no doubt, a cherished something, which, in its opinion, ought not to be touched. Such is the precarious and arduous position of a minister since the Reform Bill, and such it, to some extent, must remain, thought its difficulties will no doubt diminish, when, if ever, the work of reconstruction shall be complete. The authors of the Reform Bill tried to evade, as Ministers, the terrible embarrassments which they had provided for themselves and their successors, by yielding in turn to the most un reasonable and mischievous suggestions of their supporters, until they had thoroughly disgraced them selves, and disgusted the country. Sir R. Peel takes a different course. He does not yield to his supporters, but places his continuance in office at their disposal. Which is the more manly, and honest, and gentlemanlike line ? We suppose all will admit that the line adopted by Sir Robert Peel is generally—we cannot allow it to be tried by particular instances where there are so many conflicting interests and repugnant opinions—the more honourable than patriotic. But it is plain that the Minister who takes this line must, in the present constitution of the House of Commons, have frequent occasion to complain of the desertion of sections of his usual adherents, fre- . quent hints to prepare for retirement, and no less plain is it that in present circumstances, men, if they would act honestly and for the public good, will some times find themselves compelled to rescind votes hastily given, or given without a full knowledge of their necessary effect. In the actual condition of affairs, that which, under a different state of things, would be imperiousness in a Minister, is modest duty—that which would be inconsistency in a party or an individual, is honourable and faithful adherence to principle. The sacrifices that have lately been made to Sir Robert Peel prove the im mense importance attached to the preservation of his services by the Conservative party, and he could not better prove his claim to this high appreciation than by the disinterested firmness which has made such sacrifices necessary. THE SHERIFFS' DINNER TO THE JUDGES. On Saturday the two Sheriffs of the City of London and Middlesex, John Musgrove, Esq., Alderman, and Francis Graham Moon, Esq., gave a sumptuous entertainment at Stationers' Hall to the Judges, who were represented by the Lord Chief Baron, and Mr. Baron Rolfe ; the other Judges having, as we understood, been engaged to dine with Mr. Justice Coleridge. Among.the distinguished guests invited were, Sir Chapman Marshall, Sir Henry Nicholls, Sir George Carroll, Sir George Larpent, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Sergeant Dowling, Aldermen Wood, Gibbs, and Johnson, the Chairman and the Deputy-Chairman of the East India Com pany, the Rev. Dr. Croly, the Under Sheriffs and many other of the City authorities. Covers were laid for seventy, and most of the distinguished guests were in full Court dress. The dinner consisted of the choicest viands, the wines were of the first quality, and the entertainment was conducted altogether in a manner worthy the well-known hospitality , of the City of London. Mr. Sheriff Musgrove, in pro posing the health of the Queen, said that as the dinner partook the nature of a private party, he would not re quire the company to stand, excepting that and perhaps one other toast, nor would the toasts be given with the cheers customary at public entertainments. When the health of the Judges was proposed, allusion was very appro priately, made to the services rendered in India by the brother of the Chief Baron Pollock, to whom the country was so much indebted. The Chief Baron responded to the toast, and in doing so adverted to the circumstance that he was in debted for his early education to a seminary near the spot where they were assembled, therefore he felt peculiarly gra tified at the compliment paid to him by the citizens of Lon don after his elevation to the Bench. He concluded by pro posing " The health of the Sheriffs," who, he observed, had discharged the duties of their office in a manner not exceeded by any previous sheriffs, and their hospitality was exercised with a munificence worthy the wealth and generosity of the greatest city in the world. Mr. Musgrove briefly acknow ledged the compliment paid to his colleague and himself. Mr. Moon then proposed " The health of Sir Chapman Marshall, and the Magistracy of the City of London." He prefaced the toast with a neatly worded compliment to the magistracy of the City ; and in speaking of his colleague, and the able man - ner in which he had done the honours of the table, said it must be acknowledged that he had " eclipsed the Moon." The next toasts were, " The health of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and the Bar of England," " The Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the East India Company," " Mr. Baldwin and the Stationers' Company," and " The Under-Sheriffs," which were duly acknowledged. About half-past ten the company , left the hall and retired to the drawing-room. The convi vialities of the evening were enlivened by glees and songs by three professional gentlemen. LOSS OF THE MANCHESTER STEAMER. (From a Second Edition of the Hull Advertiser.) It is our painful duty to publish intelligence just received by the Leeds, Captain Mowle, Hull and Hamburgh steamer, which, we regret to say, places the loss of the Manchester steamer, Captain Dudley, trading between Hull and Ham burgh, and which left this port on Friday evening last, be yond doubt. On the arrival here of the Queen of Scotland, Capt. Cape, on Wednesday last, fears were entertained for the fate of the Manchester, Captain Cape not having met her or learned any intelligence respecting her. By Captain Mowle, of the Leeds, letters have been received by Messrs. Gee and Co., and among tliem is one from Mr. Henry Dutton, Lloyd's agent at Cuxhaven, of which, by the kindness of Mr. Duncan, we have been favoured with a copy : " Cuxhaven, June 18, 1844. "Gentlemen,—lt is my painful duty to give a distressing account of the Manchester, Captain Dudley, which, in all probability, is lost to the northward of the Vogel during the heavy. gale from the north, on the 16th and 17th instant. A quantity of wreck, which was entangled with cotton twist, cotton velvet, and linen yarn, all apparently belonging to the said steamer, has been picked up and landed here ; and I am sorry to add, that there is little, or rather no hope en t er t a i ne d for the lives of the crew and passengers, as some pieces df the boats of the Manchester have also been landed. • "I am, &c., "HENRY DUTTON, "To Messrs. Gee and Co." Lloyd's Agent. The following letter has been communicated by Mr. Joseph Sanderson, the agent of the Hamburgh Steam Com pany, relative to this melancholy catastrophe : " Hull, 6th mo. 21,1844. "It is my painful duty to inform you that, by advices to day from Hamburgh, dated 18th instant, the Manchester steamer, which sailed from here on the 14th instant, lad not then arrived at Hamburgh or Cuxhaven, and that there was great reason to fear she had been entirely lost during the gale on Saturday night, being stated from Cuxhaven that, amongst the wreck found near the entrance of the Elbe, are some seemingly parts of a large steamer. There is of course no certainty yet as to her fate or that of the people on board, but there appears but little to hope. There were about five or six passengers on board, but their names are not known. " I remain, very respectfully, "JOSEPH SANDERSON." Other accounts have been received, stating that a number of dead bodies had been found near Nieuark, at the entrance of the Elbe, and that a trunk belonging to the mate had been also washed up. These, however, it will be seen, are not confirmed by the above letter, which is the latest account. Captain Mowle, of the Leeds, who brought the intelli gence, states that on his voyage he passed some of the wreck of a large steamer, which he has not the least doubt is part of the Manchester. He states there can be no hope that either crew or passengers are saved. The Manchester left this port on Friday last, about 5 p.m., and had she continued safely on her voyage would have passed Cuxhaven on Sunday forenoon. It is supposed, however, that she went down about five o'clock that (Sun day) morning. The gale, we are told, was tremendously heavy at that time, and for twenty-four hours afterwards: The Manchester was a fine vessel, about two years old, belonging to the Hanseatic Company. She was built at Bremen, and her engines were put in at Liverpool. FRIDAY, 10 P.M.—Since the above was written the Ellen M'Gregor, Captain Frost, has arrived from Hamburgh, and she brings tidings in further confirmation of the melancholy intelligence given above. It appears that a great portion of the cabin furniture, the sample-bags on board the Manchester, and other remains of that unfortunate vessel, have been washed up. Of the crew on board the Manchester, the captain, the two engineers, and one or two firemen, were Englishmen. Captain Dudley was a native of Ireland,. and first came . to Hull about four years ago, when he was mate of the Juno steamer, which came h ere to recei ve new b o i lers. Ire was afterwards placed in command of the Innisfail steamer, which carried the mails between Hull and Gothenburgh. He has been in command of the Manchester since the death of Capt. Bridge, about twelve months ago. The chief engineer, named Jonas Wilson resit in F,;, jmneva-place, English- s t ree t, Pottery; he wag married, but Mr. Jame.; Richmond; of Paisley, who has resided at Worksop tire or six years, was also on board. He was 25 years of age, and 5 feet 7 inches high. Mr.. llothery, of Leeds, a wool merchant, was also on board. The above is all the information yet known respecting the sad occurrence. . CAPTURE OF FIVE SLAVE SHIPS Saturday morning the Lords Commisioners of the Adini ralty received official advices from Sierra Leone to the 16th of March, with the following list of slaveri,which had teen captured anti condeMned through the exertions of her Ma jesty's cruisers on that slave-trafficking coast :- 1. The Helena, master unknown.— She embarked :546 slaves at Ambriz ; 128 of whom died on the passage. She was taken by her Majesty's sloop Espoir, Commander A. Murrell, and was condemned on the 6th of anuary last 2. The Brazilian schooner L'Egeria.—She was ran on shore whilst being chased by her Majesty's cruiser Spy, Com. mander E. C. Earle, near .A.pPee ; and being unable to get off, and unseaworthy, she was destroyed by the captors, and Was condemned on the '24th of January last. 3. The Brazilian brigantine Luteira. 7 ,-This vessel was taken during her voyage from Rio de Janeiro to Campos, by her Majesty's ship Madagascar, Commander J. Foote. A claim was made, but she was condemned as a slaver on the 15th of December last 4. The Brazilian brigantine Imperative.—She sailed from Rio de Janeiro for Campos, and was captured by her Majesty's cruiser Heroine, Commander H. R. Foote. She was not de fended, and was condemned on the 10th of January last. 5. The Spanish brigantine Roberts.—She was run on shore and wrecked, near Black Point, whilst being chased by her Majesty's ship Madagascar, Commander J. Foote. She was condemned. SUSPECTED CASE OF PIRACY. THE SALADIN. The above vessel, commanded by Captain Mackenzie, bound from Valparaiso to London, was lost on the 21st of last May, near Ireland Harbour, Nova Scotia, and was com municated in this paper upon the 17th instant. Since then circumstances have transpired whicn lead to a very strong impression that a terrible act of piracy and murder was committed previous to her destruction, and which has en gaged. the attention of the naval and civil authorities of Halifax since the time of her loss ; and although nothing at present of a positive character has transpired to fix the crime upon a portion of the ship's crew, there is much rea son to fear that if not guilty of the more serious crime, they are not quite blameless as regards the lesser one. So strong was this impression entertained by the authorities at Hali fax, that the crew had been taken into custody,.and had undergone an examination, and from the evidence collected, in the words of the writer of a letter received at Lloyd's, there can be but one opinion as to the fate of the officers. From the particulars furnished by Lloyd's agent it appears that this vessel was bound from Valparaiso to London with a cargo of 70 tons copper, guano, 8,500 dolls. specie, and some bars of silver; that she left the former port on the 17th of February last, that Captain Mackenzie, her commander, died about the middle of April, and the mate about three days after. The second mate and two men were subsequently lost from the fore-y ord ; that no log had been kept after the 14th day of April (about the time the captain died), or any notice of sickness on board up to that date (circumstances, it will be presumed, of a very suspicious nature); and that the com plement of men when the vessel was lost was six. She went on shore, however, during a thick fog, which certainly gives some reason to suppose that she may hare been lost acciden tally, but at the same time does not do away with the im pression that such an opportunity may not have been waited. 'The Admiralty Court at Halifax had taken possession of the cargo saved from the wreck, in consequence of the suspicion of piracy. All the letters on board which were supposed to contain invoices, bills of exchange, or bills of lading, are said to have been torn open by the crew, and that many were missing, as also about 1,000 dolls. The articles saved from the wreck consisted of 730 pegs of copper, seven bags containing about 7,564 dolls., thirteen large and one, small bars of silver, two chronometers, one gold and one silver watch, and two silver stones ( ?) with all the materials, &c. The most suspicious indication of one of the most revolt ing crimes to civilised nations having been committed is the sudden death of the captain, for sudden it would imply to have been the case, from the fact of no mention of sickness having been made in the log-book, at any period of the voyage, previous to his death; and most of our readers do not require to be told that the illness of the commander of the vessel (who, when at sea, is more of a monarch, as re gards actual power and influence, than any reigning sove reign) is too important and serious an affair to be treated lightly, and should have been, according to practice, in serted in the log. The next suspicious circumstance is the deach of the mate, upon whom, by the decease of his com mander, devolved the charge of the vessel, &c.; and subse quently that of the death of the next officer in authority on board, which, though it is alleged to have occurred, together with that of two of the crew, from falling off the fore-yard, there is, when all other things are taken into consideration, some ground for supposing it to have been anything but an accident, and this appears to have been the view taken at Ha. lifax upon the subject. THE CARLTON CLUB.—The readers of the Times last week must have been surprised to find amongst its articles of intelligence a report of the meeting of the mem bers of the Carlton Club, in reference to the ministerial dilemma, occasioned by the adverse vote on Mr. Miles's sugar resolutions. As none but members can be present at club meetings, and as it is always understood that such meetings are held to be strictly secret, the publication of the proceed ings on that occasion produced an extraordinary sensation in the Carlton. It was tolerably evident, even out of doors, that the report could be traced easily enough to its source; but as no proof, in the nature of things, can be obtained of the authorship, so as to fix it upon the culprit, the club has re solved to take another, but not less decisive course, to clear itself of the individual who has committed so extraordinary a breach of usage and the implied confidence of club intercourse. We have the best authority for stating that the Carlton Club has determined speedily to dissolve, for the purpose of recon structing itself—to the exclusion of the objectionable indivi dual.— Court Journal. LAMBETH PENSION SOCIETY.—The anniversary dinner of this Society was celebrated on Thursday last at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, Mr. Thomas Grissell i n th e chair, supported by the Members for Surrey, Messrs. Kemble aid Antrobus, the Rev. Mr. Spencer, Messrs. Francis and Rosseter, magistrates of the county, and several other influ ential supporters of the charity. After the customary toasts had been disposed of, the Chairman, in giving " Prosperity to the Lambeth Pension Society," made a most forcible ap peal to the company on behalf of the institution in support of which they had that day assembled, and in feeling terms alluded to the benefits already conferred on so large a number of the respectable but decayed inhabitants of the parish. It appeared further, from the Chairman's address, that the In stitution had been established in the parish of Lambeth 18 years, and that during that period it had on an average 36 pensioners on its funds, and that at the present moment 44 were on the books of the Society. The sum distributed during that period was upwards of 10,000/. ; and although there were at that moment 40 candidates for election in July next, from the want of funds only three could be admitted. It appeared also that the number of the subscribers to the charity was only GOO, at 12s. per annum, although the number of rated inhabitants was 20,000, 6,000 of whom are in affluent circum stances. The Chairman took occasion to impress the meet ing strongly with this fact, and showed how easily the funds might be increased by active co-operation, and hoped that publicity would be given to this statement, in order that the charitably disposed portion of the parish might avail them selves of the pleasing and consolatory opportunity of contri buting in the support of so praiseworthy an undertaking. The Chairman concluded by appealing individually to the meeting, and not without effect, for a most liberal contribu tion followed, to the amount, we understand, of nearly 2001. Various other toasts were given and responded to, and, after enjoying the musical arrangements, which were excellent, the company separated before eleven o'clock. STEAMER GREAT WESTERN.—LIVERPOOL, SUN DAY MonNlNG.—After experiencing the " law's delays," this noble steamer started from our port yesterday afternoon about three o'clock. The uncertainty which existed until within a fe* days past as to her departure openited against her ob taining a large number of passengers; btit her berths were tolerably well filled. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 23.—At twelve o'clock this day the Royal West India mail-packet the Avon, Capt. Sturtt, arrived' at her moorings in the river, and landed her mails, which will be forwarded to London by the,two A.M. mail train to-morrow. Her dates are—Jamaica, 24th of May; Deme rara, 20th ; Trinidad, 21st; Grenada, 20th; St. Thomas's, June 1 ; and Fayal, 15th. The Akon has sixty-eight_pas eengers, and a small quantity of specie. The Oriental Com pany's steam-packet Little Liverpool; from Gibraltar, is hourly expected with the Peninsular mails. The following large steamers are now lying in the docks and river;--The Oriental, 1,673 tons; the Pacha, 550; the Lady Mary Wood, 556; the Iberia, 650; the Teviot, 1,743; the Clyde, 1,850; and the Avon, 1,600 tons. • • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR GOLDEN -SQUARE.—Yes- terday morning, at half-past one, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Wright, corn-chandler, situate behind the dwelling-houses in Great Pultenev-street, Golden-square. The fire was first discovered by a Female servant, who was awoke by smoke entering her sleeping apartment; she ig stantly raised an alarm, but so rapid was the progress of the flames, that the owners of the buildings had not sufficient time to save any of the property. Several engines were soon on the spot, and water being obtained, they were set to work, and a great body of water was thrown upon the burning ma, terial ; notwithstanding, the fire continued to ritae most fear fully, and strong apprehensions were entertained lest it should reach the extensive brewery of Messrs. Broadwood. The further progress of the flames was stayed by two o'clock, not, however, before the premises i n w hi c h th ey commence d were levelled with the ground, and the adjoining buildings damaged. The loss must be somewhat considerable, and un fortunately Mr. Oxam, who had a large quantity of his em ployer's goods in the place, was not Insured. The origin of the tire is unknown. FATAL OCCURRENCE AT A PICNIC PARTIr.—On Sunday, as a family party were enjoying a pic-nic near the fourth pond, Hampstead-heath, a young man, 22 years of age, one of the family, went into the pond to bathe. 1_1,:„ h a d not gone three yards into the water whop lie sank in the presence of his family, and never 73 - se again. The scream; of his relatives vast crowds, and sev9r4l excell ent swinir".^,.7s dived after him, and drag, Loafs, and every other means of reaching him were ineffectually put in requisition until night. The Diike and Duchess of Norfolk, Duke and Duchesss of Argyll, Viscount Morpeth and Lady Mary Howard, Lord and Lady Blantyre, Marquis of Lorn, Lady Dover, Viscount Clifden, Earl and Count ess G rosvenor, H on. Mr. and M rs. Howard, Viscount and Viscountess Leveson, and the different members of the ducal family invited to witness the ceremony, arrived before seven o'clock ; also his Ofine The Archbishop of York, who came accompanied by Mk Egerton Vernon Harcourt and Miss Georgians Harcourt, and the Rev. Sir Henry R. Dukinfield, Bart., Vicar of St. Martin's. Precisely at seven o'clock her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert arrived from Buckingham Palace, attended by the Duchess of Buccleuch, Mistress of the Robes ; the Marchioness of Douro, Lady in Waiting; the Earl De lawarr, Lord Chamberlain ; the Earl of Warwick, Lord in Waiting; Colonel Arbuthnot., Equerry in Waiting ; Cap tain Meynell, Groom in Waiting on the Queen; and Lord George Lennox, Lord in Waiting; Major -General Sir Ed ward Bowater, Equerry i n Waiting'; and the Groom in Waiting on Prince Albert. The Royal party came in four carriages. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland were in waiting to receive the Queen and. his Royal Highness as they alighted from the Royal carriage. Her ,Majesty, leaning on the arm of the Duke of Suther land, was conducted by the grand entrance to the marble staircase, and from thence to the saloon; Prin6s Albert and the Duchess of Sutherland, and the Duchess of Buccleuch, and members of the Court, following. The full band of the Royal Horse Guards Blue stationed on the left of the staircase welcomed the Sovereign with the customary honours, playing the national anthem. The christening was solemnised shortly after the arrival of her Majesty, the religious ceremony being performed in the magnificent picture gallery. His (xrace the Archbishop of York, assisted by the Rev. Sir Henry R. Dukinfield, Bart., Vicar of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields, officiated at the baptismal rite. The sponsors were his Royal Highness Prince Albert 'and Viscount Morpeth, and Lady Frances Egerton, who was, in her absence, represented by Lady Blantyre. The noble infant was named, after his illustrious god father, Albert. A selection of sacred music was performed on the organ in the arena of the staircase, until dinner was announced, at a quarter to eight o'clock. The entertainment was served up in the splendid banquet ing -room, in a style of princely splendour. At the table her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert sat together, the Duke of Sutherland sitting on the left of the Queen, and the Duchess on the right of Prince Albert. The circle Included the Duchess of Buc,cleuch, Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, Duke and Duchess of Argyll, Earl and Countess Grosvenor, Marchioness of Douro, Earl Delawarr, Viscount Morpeth and Lady Mary Howard, Lady Dover, Viscount Clifden, Earl of Warwick, Hon.

Sir Henry R. Dultinileld, Bart., Col. Arbuthnot, Captain Meynell, &c, Covers were laid for forty. . _ _ At five Minutes to eleven, her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert departed, attended by the Duchess of Buccleuch, Earl Delawarr, Marchioness of Douro, and the several members of the Royal Household; the Duke of Su therland conducting the Queen to her car r ia ge , accompanied by the Duchess of Sutherland, Marquis of Stafford, &c. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH FRANCE. One of the great advantages presented by the South- Eastern (or London and Dover) Railway is the extreme ra pidity with which the public, by availing themselves of it, can reach : the Continent. But, - although since the opening of the line to Folkestone , mid Dover the journey to Boulogne and Calais has been abridged in point of time to an extent that.a few years ago would have been incredible, something yet remained to be done in furtherance of the steam com munication between the two countries so as still fur ther to increase the facilities for rapid locomotion offered to the public in connection with the railway. The new steamer the Princess Mica, which has recently been put on the station, has already very materially contributed to this object ; but now another steamer, also of remarkable speed, has been added, called the Princess Mary. To try the speed of the new vessel, and also to test the rapidity with which one may be whirled from London to Calais by the wonderful power of steam, the directors of the railway made a trip on Saturday from the one place to the other, the result of which was highly satisfactory. At about ten minutes to eight in the morning a special train started from 'the Bricklayers' Arms Station, which, by the way, is admirably situate for the convenience of all West-end travellers who may not like to rough it through the crowded streets of the City. The distance between London and Dover was done in two hours and twenty-eight minutes, including a stoppage of twelve minutes at Folkestone, and in a few minutes atter the arrival of the party at the Dover station, the new vessel, the Princess Mary, which was lying outside the quay, started with them for Calais. She is a very handsome vessel, with great power and speed, for her build. She has two of hfaudslay's engines of sixty-horse power each, and the improved paddles. The distance between Dover and Calais was done in two hours and ten minutes. On the arrival of the party at Calais, they partook of a luncheon at Dessein's Hotel, and after having had ample time to wander through the quaint old town and wonder at the grotesque people, they again entered the vessel, which left Calais harbour at a few minutes after four, and arrived at Dover in two hours and five minutes. The party then returned to town in a special train. Many of them breakfasted in town, lunched at Calais, dined at Dover, and were back again in, London in time for the last act of the Opera. The result of this experiment proved that even under disadvantageous circumstances the distance between London and Calais, or Boulogne, may be traversed in four hours and a half, with scarcely any personal inconvenience. When the railroad from Calais to Paris is completed, the whole distance from the metropolis of England to the metro polls of France may be done in twelve hours. At present this new steamer, together with the Princess Alice, performs the voyage across as rapidly as steam power will accomplish it. A new vessel, the Princess Maude, is also being built for the same service, either from Dover to Calais, or Ostend, or from Folkestone to Boulogne. :1 their w.o_ll..,ejtsj Sreptune d some or 3kill sod co ding P lace .: Eng i n ew nder, h owi o ts 10 4 h y a 0 64. • Lloyd Eitasbo .

Sir,—This day has been of so unusual a character, that I cannot refrain from sending you the particulars of my obser vations.. During the night of yesterday (Saturday) the lowest point was 60 deg. This morning was bright, with a light soft breeze from the S. of the E., with an upper current more westerly—the air positively , chaiged with electricity, with the appearance of a slight shower having fallen during the previous night—the barometer steady at 29.8 Q, At two o'clock, p.m., the " shade " thermometer, north aspect screened, stood at 86, and the " sun " thermometer was, in the south aspect, 107. At three o'clock the one in the shade in dicated the extraordinary height of 89, and that in the sun 110. At four o'clock they stood relatively 85 and 99. I placed a thermometer at two o'clock in more direct opposi tion to the sun's rays, which raised the spirit to 121 degrees of Fahrenheit. The air is still (five o'clock) indicative of surcharged electricity, and the thermometer stands—shade 85, sun 98. I have no recollection of such extreme heat in London.—l am, Sir, your subscriber, H. P. Bermondsey-square, June 23, five o'clock, p.m. [lf this c o wt h r he r n e s p o t mh n e d e correspondent makes te:a the o eB r r Boo e d c t ue , gr t sr h ee e e osf al t m ah o s de d p f fa h e yr e e nr never ce ve o of o ß te e x r a mondsey must be very different from that of Westminkter, all c w e h e d p e r e r o e d b t h a B b e l 1 , e sun.] RESIGNATION AND DEPARTURE OF EARL DE GREY.—On Sunday mast Captain Lord Francis Gordon, First Aid-de-Camp to the Lord Lieutenant, was dispatched to Lon don to present to the Queen the resignation of his Excellency the Earl De Grey, as Viceroy of Ireland.—Limerick Chro nicle. f The resignation has been accepted, and the servants attached to the vice-regal household have got a month's notice to quit, The affair attracts just as much attention in Dublin as it is worth—that is not the amount of a nutshell. --Freeman's Journal. LADY WENLOCeS BALL.—On Friday night Lady Wenlock gave a splendid ball, at his Lordship's 'spacious mansion in Berkeley-square. Above 400 fashionables as sembled. The ball-room, on the ground-floor, was brilliantly illuminated by some hundreds of waxlights, and a vast number of flowers were used in the decoration of that and the other apartments. A supper of the most sumptuous de scription was announced shortly after one o'clock. Weippert's band attended. The company comprised the elite of the aris tocracy and fashionable world, A WONDERFUL STORY.—We find the following in the Echo de la Nievre In the night of the 11th instant a diligence, proceeding from Paris to Clermont, being at a short distance from Maltaverne, was lifted off the road by the effect of a thunder storm, and carried over a large ditch into an adjoining field. Carriage, travellers, and horses were left there as if by enchantment. The carriage was not upset, but a strong smell of sulphur, and a large hole in the trunk of the carriage, demonstrated by the passage of the electric fluid the cause of the accident. The travellers could scarcely believe their eyes when they alighted." ADMISSION OF ATTORNEYS.—The result of the ex amination of candidates for admission on the roll of attorneys in last Trinity Term, shows a larger increase on that branch of the legal profession, 71 having passed examination, whilst tour were postponed, and four who had given notice did not attend, and a large number failed to perfect their testimonial of services, besides which one of the candidates for admis sion withdrew during the examination. Upon referring to the examination of the last Michaelmas, Hilary, Easter, and Trinity Terms, it appears that in Michaelmas 106 in Hilary 90, Easter 92, and Trmity Term 71, passed, showing a total examiners reported spe cially the last font terms of 359. This number, we beeve, in • ihousthoef service of clerkship, and c el ially eq w sC lrh e re in fe s r t which were submitted to the decision of the judges. e an ne c e es to in g w uc h s i t c STEAM PQWER.—A pint of water may be evapo rated two ounces of •I , coCS, In its evapor a ti on it s wells Into two hundred and sixteen gallons of steam, with a mecha nical force sufficient to raise a weight of thirty-seven tons a foot high. The steam thus produced has a pressure equal to that of common atmospheric air; and by allowing it to ex pand by virtue of its elasticity, a ffirther mechanical force may be obtained, at least equal in amount to the former, A pint of water ; therefore, and two ounces of coals., are thus rendered capable of doing as much work as is equivalent to seventy-four tons rai se d a f,i high. The circumstances under which the stes" - ,-engine is worked on a railway are not favourable tz, t ne economy of fuel. Nevertheless a pound of eL l ae burned in a locomotive engine will evaporate about five pints of water. In their evaporation they will exert a me chanical force sufficient to diiw two tons on the railway distance of one mile in two minutes. Four horses working in a stage coach on a common road, are necessary to draw the wtsolvetght the same diettuace iu eiz minute& JOINT-STOCK BANKS. A deputation from the Committee of joint-stock banks had an interview at half-past two o'clock on Friday with Sir Robert Peel, for the purpose of proposing their amendments to the Bank Charter Act. The deputation consisted of Messrs. Joseph Walker, Vin cent Stuckey, J. W. Gilbart, Daniel Robertson, and Oliver Vile. Mr. WALKER stated the different points suggested by the joint-stock banks, and Sir Robert Peel very courteously con sented to the following important modifications "1. That instead of the averages of the two years as Origin ally proposed, the maximum of the future circulation shall be regulated by the average of the circulation during the three months, February, March, and April, previous to the an nouncement of the measure to Parliament • . "2. That the future maximum shall be taken. upon. a monthly, instead of a weekly average, so that if a bank should exceed its limits in one week, it may reduce it in the follow ing weeks. " 3. That the word' place' in clause 13, be omitted, so as to allow banks to open new branches, provided they do not. exceed the fixed amount of their circulation.. " 4. That the Act shall not come into operation, as far as country bankers are concerned, until the 25th October, the period when the bankers' annual licenses are renewed." The deputation urged Sir Robert to permit, that when 'a union took place beween two joint-stock banks, or a. joint stock and a private bank, the united bank - might issue to the united amount of their previous circulations. But to this he objected, on the ground that the whole of the circu lation of the country might then fall into the hands of a few large companies. Mr. WALKER expressed the satisfaction of the deputation at the concessions which had been so handsomely made, and still entertained a hope that Sir Robert would reconsider the subject of the union between joint-stock and private bankers, as he considered such unions might often prevent banking failures that would inflict great distress on the country. Mr. Walker also expressed the satisfaction of the deputation with that part of the Bill'which placed the joint-stock banks in the London upon an eq ua lit y w i t h other banks in regard to rights of acceptance. The concessions made by Sir Robert Peel will idd above half a million to the country circulation, and by th6monthly„ instead of the weekly average, the danger of incurring penalties will be wholly avoided. We have no doubt the banking interest generally throughout the country w i l l feel greatly obliged to the joint-stock banking ,counittee for having obtained these important modifications,. and we stk. prebend that the Bill will now pass through Parliament without any opposition.
