In announcing a SYLVAN FETE, The Proprietor's aim will be directed to enable the Subscribers, "Toldlity, Gentry and the Public, to witness those RUSTIC SPORTS which are nearly obsolete, but the observance of which procured for this eountry the title of " Merrie England," and which, in the Olden Time, constituted the principal Amusements of a country fair The peculiar English sports of the May-pole With Its Morr s dan eers, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Pipe and Tabor, &c., will bo ex ibited " The May-pole is up, now give me the sup, i'll drink to the garlands around it."—Hkaitick. A display of the noble science of ARCHERY ! will take place by the Members of the Toxopholite Clubs, in their Forest Costume. The science of Archery, but for the manly and spirit-stirring efforts of the Archery Clubs, would soon become a " Tale of by-gone Days," co-existent with Robin Hood and His Merry Men, when in Sherwood J'orest they drew " The cloth-yard shaft," and the welkin rang with " the shouts of the foresters bold." " Rail to our leader, brave Robin Hood, For a noble marksman and forester good." A decorated Pavilion will be erected for the use of the competitors. The magnificent modelled representation of EDINBURGH, the chef d'oeuvre of the scenic art, and the Unequalled Menagerie will be exhibited.

From the westward we have no change to notice, the accounts continuing generally favourable, as stated in our last. We hope by the next mail to be enabled to give a more accurate estimate of the probable outturn of the crop, which is even as yet very undecided. A few parcels of first and good second quality Benares have come to hand and realised former rates, but the rivers have not as yet risen sufficiently to admit of our bazaar being well supplied, and low sugars are extremely light in stock. In Dates we hear of but little doing, the only kinds procurable being very inferior. Khanr has again attracted attention, and holders having accepted rather lower rates, a good• business has been done at about 5 rupees to sr. 4a. for good dry bazaar sorts.

AUGUST 1, 1845. The Lords met at Four o'clock. The royal assent was given, by Commission, to seve ral Bills. The Earl of BESBOROUGU drew the attention of their Lordships to the evidenee which had been given before the Committee appointed to inquire into the petition al leging fraud against the promoters of the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill, with a view to promoting a prose cution against one of the witnesses for perjury. Lords CAMPBELL and COTTENHAM thought there would be great difficulty in conducting the prosecution to a satisfactory termination. Lord MONTEAGLE and the LORD CHANCELLOR thought the House ought to proceed against the individual, and eventually, on the suggestion of the Earl of BESBORO UGH, the matter was referred to a Select Committee. The Merchant Seamen's Bill was committed pro forma. In answer to a question from Lord BEAUMONT, the East of ABERDEEN went into a lengthened statement relative to the affairs of Greece. He admitted that the present state of Greece was anything but tranquil and orderly, but still the excesses said to have been com mitted on the frontiers had been grossly exag gerated. He gave such advice to M. COLLETTI as he thought prudent and useful, and he did not at present feel called upon to interfere further. It was un true that the Greek Government had encouraged in cursions across the Turkish frontier, and the supposi tion that a bankrupt State like Greece anticipated going to war with Turkey, was most absurd. It was also untrue to say that the English interests had declined in Greece. There were English, French, and Russian parties in that country—the great misfortune was, that there was no Greek party. The Coal Trade of London Bill was read a second After a short discussion, in which the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, the Earl of DALHOUSIE, and the Marquis of WESTIeINSTER took part, The Lunatics Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the House adjourned. The Commons met at Four. A new writ was moved for for Kirkcudbright, in the room of Mr. MURRAY, deceased. Mr. TUFNELL gave notice that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would move for a return of the Bills which had passed during the present Session. The reports of the Committee on Ways and Means, and of the Committee of Supply, were respectively brought up. On the order of the day being read for bringing up the report ou the Brazil Slave -Trade Treaty Bill, Mr. M. GIBSON said he considered the measure calcu lated to excite hostility and resentment against this country, and he wished to know whether any remon strances had been addressed by the Brazilian Govern ment to the British Government on the subject, and if so, whether they would be communicated to the House. Sir R. PEEL assured the Honourable Gentleman there was nothing in the present treaty at variance with inter national law. It merely recognised a principle already incorporated in previous treaties and acted on by other nations. After a few remarks from Mr. Huvr and Captain PECRELL, the report was brought up and the Bill ordered to be read a third time this day. • - After several other measures had passed thiough their respective stages, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER moved that an Address be presented to the Crown, requesting the grant of 20,000/. in aid of the sufferers by the late fires in Quebec. The motion was agreed to, without opposition, and shortly afterwards the House adjourned. Some men, it is said, have greatness thrust upon them; and of this class we presume that the present Chan cellor of the Exchequer—we have had, ere now, to make the same remark of a Comptroller of the Exche quer—is one of the most astonishing individuals. He fills—and not for the first time in his life—that exalted and responsible office which has, ever since the Revolu tion, been assumed to indicate the highest class of official ability, financial knowledge, and general statesmanship. His robe is a mantle which has clothed, in succession, the shoulders of men who have rendered their names an illustrious bequest to posterity. Without distinction of party, it has ever been one of the most honourable ele vations that an English gentleman could attain to in the service of his country. To exemplify this fact would be to name almost every great political leader who has appeared in Parliament during that interval. Nor is this sort of general rule marred by such occasional exceptions as have been afterwards pitch-forked into the House of Lords—in times past, and in our own espe cially—by titles which it might seem invidious here to recapitulate. Whether or not Mr. GouLnunst is des tined to increase the number of these anomalies we do not purpose now to inquire. But we wish to show how unworthy sentiments may be avowed in the House of Commons, by so high an officer of the Crown, with perfect impunity in the year 1845. Mr. FIELDEN brought under the notice of the QUEEN'S Ministers and of the House the vexatious, uojust, and arbitrary usage which he had received under the operation of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Income-tax Act. The house in which he was himself a partner, FIELDEN, Brothers, had been assessed for profits at the capricious valuation of exactly 12,0001. a-year —not, for aught that appears to the contrary, that the assumption might not have been made with just as much probability, that these profits were 8,2001, or 9,1501., or 10,6701., or 11,7601., or 12,0001. a year. But the local " Commis sioners," or " Assessors," or by whatever other name the people are called who do the dirty work of the Paul- Pry machinery created under this odious and inquisito rial statute, preferred to take the amount of 12,0001. in the first instance—as a round number, we suppose. Mr. FIELDEN and his partners protested and appealed against this assessment of income, and offered to produce their books to the Commissioners, and proceeded to show that for the year over which the assessments demanded ex tended, they, so far from realising profits, had,'in fact, sustained large losses on the balance of the year's trans actions. Another notice was served, accompanied with an intimation, in the usual imperative style, that it must be paid forthwith. Again the Messrs. FIELDEN remon strated ; and what was the reply ? That they were im mediately served with notice of assessment, increased in the proportion of exactly 100 per cent. ; that is to say, on an assumed income of 24,0001. per annum. Very arbitrary—very insolent, beyond all question—in the officers, whoever they were, who presumed to try so un authorised and impertinent an experiment on the easi ness or the purse-strings of the Messrs. FIELDEN. Doubtless there was the same excuse for this, as for the original assessment—that 24,0001. was " a round number." But there was even less defence to be made for this second assessment ; and we do trust that the Messrs. FIELDEN will not relax their ex ertions till they discover, and pursue to punish ment (if any punishment have been reserved by our constitutional Premier for such an offence, al though we suspect the common law would not be slow to deal with it as a conspiracy to defraud), the authors of this gratuitous impertinence. Dice most of those over-zealous and offensive subaltern authorities who are called " Jacks in office," they grew alarmed the instant they discovered that these gentlemen were in earnest in their resolution to resist this unheard-of and most dis graceful at tempt at extortion, and when Exchequer pro cesses were issued against the firm, they were issued for the assessment, not on the 24,0001., but, strange to say, for the original one on the 12,0001. Can any fact more clearly demonstrate than this the arbitrary, despotic system, on which the commissioners and surveyors fabri cate their assessments of income derived from profits on trade ? And yet it is to these people that Sir ROBERT PEEL has the serene assurance to refer the tax-payers for redress, forsooth, who may feel themselves aggrieved by over assessments ! It is almost as bad as constituting a Board of Officials for the assessment and levy of a tax ; paying them by a per tentage on the aggregate product of that tax realised through their devices and exertions ; and then intimating to the over-charged tax-payer that he will always be secure of redress at the hands of the same disinterested functionaries. The Exchequer pro cesses were enforced against the Messrs. FIELDEN, they still refused, on the principle of " no profits realised," to pay ; and chattels and goods, their property, were taken and sold in execution by the QUEEN'S officers, to the amount of the claim of the Crown. This is, shortly, the grievance of which Mr. FIELDEN complained in the House of Commons. In replying to his speech, the Chancellor of the Exchequer was betrayed into an ob• servation which we trust will not be lightly forgotten by the British public. The difficulty in which Mr. Fin.- DEN found himself, quoth Mr. GOULEURN, " would not have arisen, if the Hon. Gentleman had shown a lzttk less of that British virtue which had led him to resist, with more than ordinary firmness, what he considered an im proper intrusion into his private affairs." This " sneer," as Mr. HAWES well called it, at " Bri- tish virtue," was uttered with singularly bad taste in reference to Mr. FIELDEN, than whom a man of higher probity in private life, or of purer purpose in his public career, is not to be feund within the walls of the House of Commons. The architect of his own fortune, and himself the centre and mover of an enormous amount of industrial labour, in the very district which has wit nessed his gradual advance from the position of a simple artisan to the head of one of those enormous private establishments which are the wonder of their age and country, Mr. FIELDEN has long acquired, and enjoys, unchallenged, an enviable reputation for his kindness, his charity, his liberality, and enterprise. To have " re sisted," as he has done, the assessment of the Income tax Commissioner, on the principle incorporated in words, though not, it should seem, in spirit, into the very Act of Parliament under which that assessment was made out, and to have risked and suffered, too, so costly a sacrifice of property as he has endured in contesting a demand which, either in its original or its subsequent shape—as charged on an income of 12,000 t, or one of 24,0001.—must have been iniquitous and illegal—was, indeed, a reach of " British virtue " such as an over pensioned official might challenge, in a tone of disparage ment the more sarcastic from the consciousness, perhaps; of inability to imitate it. But is this "British virtue' expounded by him who reflects upon it even, as having been elicited by " what the party considered an im proper intrusion into his private affairs "—is this con stitutional principle to be twitted and mocked at, in that House of Commons which is to this day conse crated by the memory of that HAMPDEN whose resist ance to the payment of an illegal exaction for ship-money was the first step taken in the great work of consolidating the rights and liberties of Englishmen, in respect of the limitations of their liability to taxation, on their present broad and constitutional bases ? Let us hope that this ill-timed sneer will arouse, even at this late hour, the Commons to a sense of their duty to their constituency— that it may teach them how little they can be justified in trusting to the pledges or the promises of a Govern ment particularly with regard to the duration of so odious but productive an impost—one of whose chief officers can thus venture to ridicule a principle of action, which our fathers not only recognised, but were prepared at all times to venerate as " British virtue." We do not p-rmit ourselves to imagine for a moment that Mr. FIELDEN will be cajoled by the hollow and meanless civilities of Sir ROBERT PEEL (who probably perceived the slip which his " managing man" bad made) into the abandonment of that claim for redress which he is as suredly able to establish in this case ; or forego the satis faction of discovering on what principle his assessment was raised from one upon 12,0001. to an assessment on 24,0004 ; and again dropped from 24,000/. to 12,0001. ? Madrid papers to the 23d have come to hand. The Castellano and the Herald°, which have hitherto op posed the QUEEN'S journey to the Basque provinces, say, that "as the physicians have declared the baths of Santa Agueda to be indispensable to the recovery of her MAJESTY'S health," they shall no longer oppose her ♦isit. The inference to be drawn from this is, that NARVAEZ and hiscolleagues have given way to the influence of CHErsTniA, and that the Ministers will consent to the visit. The Heraldo again affirms that the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS will cross the Pyrenees and have an interview with the Royal Family of Spain. A lithographed portrait of the Infante Don ExurquE, which had just been exhibited at a bookseller's window, in the Calle de Carretas, was attracting the attention of all Madrid. MADRID BOURSE. —Three per Cents., 28i for cash; 281 for account. Five per Cents. no quotations. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday, the third of the " three glorious days," and, as might have been ex pected, they all comment at considerable length on the fruits of that revolution. The Moniteur contains an ordonnance intrusting to M. DUCIIATEL, the Minister of the Interior, the department of Foreign Affairs during the absence of M. GUIZOT, who is gone to his estate of Val Richen, in Normandy. Tuesday having been entirely devoted to rejoicings, the Bourse did not open. The Gazette de Bale, which first propagated the statement of the apprehension and escape of the murderer of M. LEU, acknowledges that it had been misled, and declares that the matter is still involved in mystery. The Helvetie, of the 26th inst., says :—" The regime of 1793 is in full vigour at Lucerne. The death of M. LEU has furnished a fresh occasion for acting harshly against the ad versaries of the Jesuits. Three inns, one of them kept by a person named TROLLEUR, a native of Soleure, have been closed by the police, and their owners thrown into prison. M. TROLLEUR received orders to quit the city within eight hours. Two commercial travellers have also been arrested without any cause. The city is already full ,of soldiers, and four more companies have just been called in. The tribunal has condemned 117 more adversaries of the Jesuits to ten months' imprisonment, which brings up the total number to 384." The Duchess of KENT left Vienna on the 21st of July. Nothing was done in the Funds at TORTONI'S. The following are the quotations for the new lines : MAitsxiLLEs, JULY 25.—Marseilles and Avignon, 990 f. Boulogne, 625 f. ; Orleans and Bordeaux, 675 f. ; Vierzon, 750 INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Times.) By the arrival of the Iberia at Malta, we have received in telligence from Bombay to the 20th of June, from Calcutta, to the 9th, Madras to the 11th, and from China to the 6th of May. We regret to state that cholera has been very prevalent in Bombay and Poonah, and that it has raged in Lahore to a fearful extent. The letters from Lahore repeat the announcement con tained in our last dispatches of the appointment of the Sirdar Jnwahir Singh to be the Prime Minister, and the retirement of Ghoolab Singh to his fortress of Jumoo. Prince Peshora Singh is stated to be in rebellion against the authorities at Lahore. The attack on Peshawar has been abandoned by Dost Mahomed and his son. The Governor-General remained in Calcutta, but it was expected he would proceed in October to the north-west provinces to reduce the Sikhs to order. From China we learn that a riot had taken place at Victoria ; it had -been suppressed without much difficulty. The British troops had been withdrawn from Kolungsoo, in accordance with the terms of our . treaty on the 23d of March, and the Chinese took possession. An English merchant having built a vessel of seventy tons, gave the command of it to a Chinese named Fowqua, to enable him to levy a species of black mail on the native smug gling boats engaged In the opium trade. Suspicions were excited. Fowqua was seized, tortured, and denounced a hundred persons as being implicated in the transaction. The mate and gunner of the Ariel, having on board upwards of 100,000 dollars, conspired to seize her, but were ultimately defeated. The mate was killed, and the gunner wounded. COMMERCIAL REPORT. (From the Overland Englishman.) No material change has been observable in our markets during the past week, for, although it is probable they may be affected by the news received by the Bentinck steamer, which came in on the 6th instant, sufficient time has not as yet elapsed for this to be manifested. We are now in receipt of London dates to the 24th of April, and perhaps the most important commercial intelligence received is the result of the April indigo sale, which is very far from satisfac. tory, nor can we learn any sufficient reason for the inactivity stated to have prevailed throughout it. The accounts of the ruling of almost all other articles of export from hence are also even less favourable than those received by the previous opportu. miry, the only exception of any importadce being sugar, the market for which is stated to have somewhat recovered from the unprecedentedly depressed state it was in shortly after the re duction in the duties. Notwithstanding, however, the little pros pect held out of shipments proving remunerative, we cannot say we look forward to any material falling off in the demand here, at all events until stocks are considerably enhanced. Imports have not, as yet, shown any decided symptoms of im. provement, and it is impossible to form any idea as to how long this miserable state of inactivity will last, as the ruling of exchange and the enhanced rate of duties will prevent importers from moving the market by accepting lower rates, and we have, therefore, only to look to the reduction of stocks in the upcountry marts for an increased demand. The Government notification quoted in our last had its eNect on the ruling of exchange, which at one time declined to Is. lOicl.; this, however, was not long maintained, and we have now again to quote Is. Ild, to Is. ll*d. per rupee as the rate for first chop bills, but at this good paper has been In more request than for some time past. _ Tonnage continues abundant, put it is difficult to effect ship ments at more than half-a-crown under the rates ruling on the 2d. We have but little to add to or change in the report we gave of the crop on the . 2d instant; some parties in Jessore and Rajeshaye have been complaining of having had rather too much rain of late, but we do not think the total out-turn will be much affected thereby. The weather continues fine, with the exception of a few squall; which have been experienced in Calcutta during the past week and the rivers are still low. Some concerns on the banks of the Bhaugurutty and in Moor shedabad, Rajeshaye, and Bhaugudpore will be at full work before the end of this month. In some parts of Tirhoot fine rain was experienced on the 22d and 26th ult., which enabled them to resow the lands which had failed, and should the rains hold on we are in hopes these sowings will not profe too late. In many concerns in the eastern districts they have already se_ cured their low lands, and have, in some instances housed a quarter Exports from Ist instant up to date amount to 33,967 sods. Saltpetre—This staple has continued in good request for Great Britain, and shipments have gone forward freely at full rates ; for France and North America, however, there has not been much doing. Raw Silk—During the past week but little activity has been manifested in this market ; a few parcels have, however, been taken at about former rates, but the generality of shippers appeared still disposed to wait further accounts from England, unless tempted by a very considerable reduction. The accounts just received by the Hindostan steamer being of so gloomy a nature, will we should think, even further check operations, unless the native holders submit to a decline corresponding to that which has taken place at home. _ Stocks are already getting heavy, and we understand that large parcels have been kept in the Mefussil with a view of keeping up prices. Exports to Great Britain from Ist instant up to date amount to 258 mds. Cotton—The demand for this staple continues dull, accounts from China are again unfavourable and the stock up country is getting heavy. Not a single bale has been exported since our last. Opium—By the Fire Queen steamer we are in receipt of Canton dates to the 29th of April, in which Patna was quoted at 660 dolls. to 690 dolls., and Benares at 650 dolls, to 670 dolls. per chest. This did not, however, affect our market at all, and we still quote Patna at Commpany's 1,580 rupees, and Benares at 1,475 per chest. The stock in the Company's Godown consists of 3,562 chests of Patna, and 1,285 of Benares. IMPORTS FROM EUROPE. British Cotton Piece Goods—We can scarcely find any alteration to notice under this head, but if anything there has been rather more doing, without however the slightest advance in prices. All parties are now anxiously looking forward to'some stir in the up.. marts, and we hear that the accounts front Mirzapere have of late been rather more favourable. Shirtings, both ►leached and grey, have been placed to a fair extent, the latter continuing rather more saleable. _ . _ White Jaconets have been in moderate demand, and consider able sales are reported, but still at very low prices. Greys have been somewhat less enquired for. In mulls and book muslins transactions have been very limited, and the same may be said of lappets and lappet scarfs, which are difficult of sale at former rates. Coloured and printed goods—Chintz has been in moderate de mand, and a few sales are reported at about former rates. Turkey red cloths have sold to some extent, especially twills, but on some descriptions a slight decline has been submitted to. Wedllens—No improvement can be quoted in the demand for these goods, and in fact they are not in the least inquiry. White Mule Twist—The inquiry has not of late been very brisk, but a moderate amount of sales have nevertheless been effected without any further decline. Coloured yarn—Under this head there has been but little doing since our last, the only sale we have heard of being a few bales of British Dye Turkey Red. Copper—A few sales have been effected at about our last quota tions, but the dealers have not as yet appeared in the market, and there is no general demand. Iron— We still hear of a few speculative transactions :which have the effect of maintaining prices, which would otherwise be quite nominal, as the native merchants show no disposition to purchase. Spelter—Several sales have been effected at rather advanced rates, notwithstanding the heavy stock. Lead and Tin Plates—We are not aware of any sales during the past week, but tin plates have engaged more attention and are held at somewhat higher rates. Beer—The large shipments have caused purchasers to operate with caution, and sales have not been very heavy. Allsop and Bass however maintain their price, but in other brands we seldom hear of sales except by auction, and ♦ery few of them are in any demand. EXCHANGE. Notwithstanding the short period which has elapsed since the dispatch of the mail per Bentinck, there has been a good deal doing for the present opportunity, and for a few days after the publication of the Government notification quoted in our last, we heard of transactions at Is. 10 N,d., since then, however, the rat.. has again advanced, and we now quote first.rate bills at Is. 11d. to Is. 110. per rupee, although we have heard of a further ad vance being submitted to in a few instances. MONEY MARKET. We have no alteration to notice, but although money continues scarce, we still find Government securities in demand at our last quotations. Freights.—Consignees show no disposition to accept of lower rates, notwithstanding the number of •essels in the river. LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM PERU. (From the Liverpool Times.) Letters have been received from Lima to the 19th of May, brought overland across the Isthmus of Panama, and for warded to this country by the last West India mail. Their con tents are very iraportant. It will be remembered that the Peruvian port of Arica was bombarded by the English steam frigate Cormorant in August, 1844, in consequence of a quarrel, originating in a gross insult to the British Consul at Tacna, inflicted on him by some of the military partisans of the Government which has just succeeded in placing itself in power, under the lead of General Castilla. The authorities at Arica having also insulted the commander of the Cormorant on his demanding redress, and having refused him permission to take in water, he immediately fired into the town, and soon compelled the authorities to apologise. Letters from Lima of the 19th May, received in Liverpool, state that the British Government is not at all satisfied with this repara tion, and that it has sent a formal demand for redress, and for the removal of the officers who wire guilty of the original out rage, to the Peruvian Government. They also state that it was not expected that the Government would grant the redress demanded, and that it was therefore feared that Callao, the port of Lima, would be blockaded, if not bombardee, by the English squadron. The Collingwood, of 80 guns, the Modeste of 21, and the steam-frigate Cormorant, were at Lima, under the command of Admiral Seymour, and two frigates were ex pected ft om Valparaiso—a force quite sufficient to enforce re dress, if it was refused by the Peruvian Government. The following is a more complete summary of the letters relating to this unpleasant event : " I►► consequence of the British consulate in Tacna having been forcibly entered by the local authorities, in the month of May or June, 1844, Mr. Adams (her Majesty's Charge for Peru), demanded from that Government the dismissal and disgrace of the prefect of Tacna, General Iguani, as a repa ration for the insult offered to the British flag. This being refused by General Castilla, the acting president of the re public, the Peruvian squadron in Islay was detained by her Majesty's steam-vessels of war (it being assembled there for the purpose of conveying troops to Lima, which city was then held by a party opposed to said Castilla). Under these cir cumstances, the Cormorant British steamer-of-war arrived in Arica Bay, and proceeded, as usual, to take in water from the shore, on the evening of the 31st May, which she was not permitted to do. After some discussion, and being a second time prevented from watering, she commenced firing on the town, when the authorities, in alarm, permitted her to accom plish her purpose. Mr. Adams was on board the steamer at the time. " The affair remained in abeyance, and General Castilla, who subsequently became President of the republic, re fusing any satisfaction until May last, when Mr. Adams (it is supposed under authority from home) again brought forward the question, demanding full satisfaction, and giving the Peruvian Government a short time to decide in, it being gene rally understood that in case they did not act satisfactorily, the whole of the Peruvian ports would be blockaded. The British force in Callao Bay consisted of the Collingwood, Cor morant, and two sloops of war, two frigates being also daily expected from Valparaiso. The Peruvian general had gar risoned the castle of Callao, and an extraordinary secret coun•• cil had been held on the 18th of May. The result had not transpired, but fears were entertained that the Governor would not make the desired reparation. The British Consulate had required from the several houses the value of the British pro perty under their charge. In this position the affairs stood at the date of the last advices." Since the above was written, we have seen accounts from Lima to the 25th of May, which stated that Admiral Seymour had sailed from Callao to Otaheite in the Collingwood. If this news is correct, the Peruvian Government must have given the satisfaction demanded for the outrage at Tacna and the insult of Arica, though it does not seem to have done so until nearly the whole British squadron in the Pacific had assembled before Callao. The Marquis and Marchioness of Headfort and family, Mrs. Storey and family, Mr. Key Shuttleworth and family, the Countess Bentinek, Lady Shaw Stewart and party, Lord and Lady Lascelles, the Hon. C. E. Law, Esq., M.PI, Recorder of London, accompanied by his son, /ajor Bonner, Captiin Chichester, Captain Lyddiard, the Rev. Mr. Kings ley, Baroness Von Stentz, Captain O'Neill, and Captain Wheatley, embarked yesterday morning on board the General Steam Navigation Coral any's steam ship, Soho, at Blackwell, for Antwerp, en route, to the Rhine. ACCIDENTS ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—DRRBY. JULY 29.—About seven o'clock last night a fatal accident occurred at the railway station here. George Redfern, a porter, was assist ing to "shunt" a truck, when the catch on the turn-table by some means did not act, and the consequence was the truck swung round much fusther than it ought to have done, and crushed the poor fellow to death. Much excitement and alarm were also occa sioned at the station by the non.arrival of the mail train, which was due in Derby at twenty minutes to seven, but which did not make its appearance there till after eight o'clock. It appeared that two mineral trains had come into collision at the Claycross tunnel, and occasioned each other much damage. A stoker, who jumped off' when lie saw that a collision was unavoidable, had one of his legs broken in two places. DOGGETT' S C OA T AND BADGE.--This very old established contest amongst watermen whose term of apprentice ship has just expired, will take place this day. A consider able number wh o we re eligible were candidates on the present occasion, but as the race is confined to six competitors, the follow. in only obtained a lot ;—George White, Custom House ; Robert W. Thorndyke, Surrey Canal; Joseph Cobb, Greenwich ; Edward Gillett, Greenwich; Matthew Weed, Bankside ; William R. Pratt, Waterloo Bridge. The start will take place from the Swan, Lon don-bridge, and the race, as usual, extend to the Swan at Chelsea, the distance being rowed against tide. To the Coat and Badge is added 71., arising from the interest on South Sea Stock, bequeathed by the late Sir W. Joliffe, of which the second man receives 4/. 7s. 6d., and the third 21. 125. 6d. The half-yearly meeting of the United Mexican Mining Association was h eld on Wednesday, and theresolutions passed at the previous meeting, for altering the deed of settlement so as to enable the Directors to declare a dividend without having so large a surplus as 60,000/., were confirmed. Before putting the reso lution declaring a dividend of ss. per share, as previously an nounced, the Chairman stated that further remittances had been received since the last meeting, and that therefore the Directors were so much th e more pleased, were enabled to d ec l are a di v id en d of 7s. fid, This statement was, of course, heard w i t h grea t sa ti s faction by the proprietors, and the resolution whi c h em b o di e d it was passed unanimously.

There was one novel feature in this entertainment, not entirely English at present, but likely some time hence to be.. come so, which was that of permitting the ladies to be seated at the table with the gentlemen while the speeches were delivered, instead of sending them into a gallery to be spectators only, as though it were too great an honour to make them joint partakers of the social festivity. The dinner was characterised by the best taste, and tha evening was spent most agreeably. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON.—GRATUITOUS SUP.

A notice given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer last night, that he would this evening move an humble address to her Majesty, praying that the sum of 20,000/. be granted for the relief of the sufferers by the late calamitous fire at Quebec, has given much satisfaction in commercial circles connected with the colony. But, surely, the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to have known that another fire equal in destructiveness has occurred in the devoted city of Quebec. It is, therefore, pre sumable that he will ask for an additional amount this evening, so that the wants of the British subjects, as well as those of French origin, who have so severely suffered in Canada by two immense conflagrations, may be most speedily met. It will be seen by the advertising columns of The Sun this evening that an appeal is made by the " Committee of Relief" at Quebec, and for subscriptions in money, and for contributions of clothing, bedding, &c., which the Committee in London (Mr. Robert Carter, of Leadenhall-street, is the honorary secretary thereof) will undertake to forward by the most rapid con veyance to Quebec. There is no time to be lost, as the next steamer will leave Liverpool early next week. And when it is known that upwards of 20,000 Bri tish subjects have been reduced to misery by the two fires, a well founded hope may surely be entertained that those in affluence, as well as those of moderate means, will come for ward in aid of their houseless and distressed fellow-subjects in Canada. There are not any arrivals of interest in the City this morning. The fluctuating state of the weather is a subject of conver sation in almost all circles in the City. It is not at all be • lieved that up to the present moment any damage has been done to the crops of a serious nature. The Funds are, however, still heavy; Consols for Account have just been sold at 98 1 / 2 , and for Money at 98X and I ,i. Bank Stock has receded from 211, 2 to 210, as it is appre hended that, should the weather prove unfavourable, there may be such a serious drain upon the coffers of the Bank for specie, as to render the continental exchanges most mate rially against us. India Stock has receded from 273 to 272. In the Foreign Stock the alterations have been very trifling this morning. The only quotations have been for Mexican from 36 to 36 1 4 ; for Colombian ex Venezuelian, 17%; for Venezuelian, 44 1 4 1 ,4 ; for Spanish, 26%; and for the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 62% %.

THE HAGUE, JULY 29.—We learn from almost all parts of the kingdom, particularly from the Duchy of Limburg, that the prospect of the approaching harvest is extremely promising ; but we hear from Nimeguen and llensden, that a singular phenomenon has been ob served for some days past, which gives the farmers some uneasiness ; the potatoes die in the course of one night, without their being able to discover the cause. When the fields are once infected, all the plants nither, and are dried up in a few hours. A Cabinet order of the King of Prussia decides that, considering that the number of the seceders from the Romish Church is greatly increased, the use of the Pro testant churches may be granted them for the perform ance of Divine worship. THE BAR AND THE PRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln common with some dozens of gentlemen, members of the English bar, who report for the public press, I tender you my tharks for the leading article, on the subject of the bar and the press. Hitherto we have witnessed with silent astonishment the course which some of the members of the bar have thought proper to take. The jealousy regarding those who reported for the press has been long known ; and those of us. who have taken the " brief and fee" Of the press, and have rendered to it in return our knowledge and ability, seeing the motives of that jealousy, have simply despised it. You have " hit the nail on the head;" the feeling originates in " ervy, disappointment, and jealousy," and in a " meanness" of soul unworthy any honourable and liberal profession. It is the boast of our English Constitution that the highest offices in the State are open to any man who has the talent and the learning and the industry to win them ; our history is full of examples of men who have " risen from the ranks." and have won them ; and no profession exhibits among its brightest ornaments so many examples of men who have thus risen, most of them with the aid of writing and reporting for the public press, as the bar. But from whom does this offensive exclusiveness of spirit proceed ? Look at the men who propose and stickle for these resolutions excluding those who report from a bar mess. The man of ability and of success fears not competition: it is his proud intfllectual position to be able to say, " Let competitors come from what rank of life or class of society they may—whether they be skilled or unskilled, I fear them not." But the man who never had brains or ability to earn a sixpence, and who knows as little of the principles of the English Constitution as he does of the principles of English law, is just the man to feel jealous of, and to wish to exclude, a junior who, before professional business fully occupies his time, shows that he has the brains and the industry to earn his guinea a day by reporting for the public press. It is the spirit of feebleness which dictates exclusive ness. It is this spirit which would degrade an honour able society, holding out prizes for an intellectual struggle open to all, and in which he who succeeds reflects back the triumph of his position on the society by whose means he earned it, into a miserable close cor poration, into which only those who could afford to give their sons some 3001. a year could obtain admission. The society, and every bar mess, is open to every retired costermonger's son—in fact, to anybody untainted by dishonour, no matter how great a fool, or how unfit soever he may be, provided his father before him has se cured him a decent maintenance. But the men who show that they possess the vigour of intellect and the ability in themselves to earn a competence ; who have knowledge, and talent, and industry, it is now, it seems, attempted by these incapables to exclude. The grovelling mean ness of the motive needs no exposition. By such a resolution' of a bar mess who is punished ? Here are so many engagements, or fees, open to four or five gentlemen on each circuit, enabling four or five juniors to struggle through the difficulties of the com mencement of their career, honourably, by their own in dustry and ability. No, say some of these wiseacres, our men shall struggle on, no matter how ; it shall be a pocket struggle ; they shall not derive the benefit of the fee. What, then, do they injure the press ? Oh, no ; for the press gets others to do the duty. The circuit which adopts such a resolution is, therefore, pretty much in the position of the man who " cut off his nose to spite his face." The real motive is to attempt to drive out of competition with their feebleness men of more intellec tual 'vigour ; but the attempt will not succeed. What makes men stoop to do dirty things ? Some recent examples, which make the bar blush, show what some members of the bar have done. The bar has justly driven them out of its society. But had those men been able to obtain .a decent competency, even by reporting, the probability is they would not have re sorted to the dirty tricks which have ended in their punishment and disgrace. But not one of those persons ever wrote a line for the press. By all means let every dishonourable man be punished—let every man who does anything unbecoming a gentleman be cut and ex cluded from a bar mess ; but to attempt to exclude a man from a society, the members of which live by legal and literary ability, on the sole ground that he evidently possesses literary ability, sufficiently indicates the class of men from whom a proposal so ridiculously absurd can proceed. Carry out the idea in all its absurdity ; let all the dunces who cannot speak, like all the dunces who cannot write, vote addressing a jury, a bore, and exclude from the bar mess every orator. This, and one or two resolutions in the same direction, will reduce the bar to that condition of feebleness which those gentlemen who ',ever could do anything but spend the money which, fortunately for them, their fathers got before them, appear so anxious to secure. I hope, however, that common sense, ordinary know ledge, of the biography of the most distinguished men of the bar, and an acquaintance with the principles of the English constitution, will rescue the bar as a body from such a suicidal course, even though some few stupid moneyed simpletons may sink in consequence of enlarged and enlightened competition into their natural insigni ficance. I have the honour to remain, Sir, A MEMBER OF TttE BAR AND A REPORTER FOR I'HE PRESS. Jaly 29. PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is lfi per milk, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 41; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 4361 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 101 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 194, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. At the last examination of the scholars of the City of London School, the Lord Mayer stated, amidst acclama tions, that it was his intention to give a prize of ten guineas for English composition, of which the neglect, even in the great universities, was extremely palpable. His Lordship also informed those a.sembled that he should likewise give two premiums of five guineas each to the two boys most distin guished for punctuality and general good conduct, so that it might be in the power of the youngest boys in the school to obtain them. A numerous party of scientific gentlemen gave a dinner to Sir George Cayley, President of the Royal Poly technic Institution, at Blackwall, on Saturday last. Chairman, Siviere, Esq. ; Vice-chairman, Longbottom, Esq., as a small tribute of respect for his great encouragement of science and scientific men. MAYNOOTII GRANT.—Such'is the bad feeling that the discussion of this question has engendered, that two gentlemen of Omagh lately were nearly having a hostile encounter on the 1 jti t . Hostile messages passed between them, which affair was lysettic dby the interference of friends.—Armagh Gazette. SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Hudson has put forward his opposition to the Maynooth grant as his political cheval de botanic, in hopes of picking up a few stray votes. His sup porters talk much of " docks and railways, and local interests," but when Mr. Hudson is questioned upon the subject of what he will do for the town, his answers are of the vaguest and most general description. In the meantime Colonel Thompson's popularity is increasing every day, and his supporters say that his majority will be even greater than Lord Howick's at the last election. PIGEON-SHOOTING MATCH. — Wednesday R match to shoot at 25 pigeons (double guns), between Creasy and Radcliffe, two crack shots, came off at Whetstone, near Finebley. The stakes were 101. a-side. After some very excellent and long shots Creasy won by two pigeons, he having killed 20 and his oppo.. nent 18. ---- - ENGLISH ACTORS AT ITAMI3URGH.—We perceive by the Hamburgh papers that the English company of actors, under the direction of Mr. Davenport, have made a most suc cessful debut at the Thalia Theatre in that city. They opened with Sheridan Knowles's Hunchback, and the German critics speak in the most enthusiastic terms of the chaste artist-like and beautiful acting of Miss Davenport in the character of Julia.. COURT CIRCULAR. The unfavourable state of the weather durilig 0 1 . whole of Wednesday afternoon prevented the Queen and Prince Albert and the juvenile Royal Fan ily from leaving Osborne House.
