John Smith, Peter Knight, John Knight, William Jones, and James Perrin, were charged yesterday with assaulting and wounding Everell Ranby, a private in the Fusilier Guards. A policeman of the C division stated that, on the preceding night four soldiers of the above regiment went into the King's Arms, Newington-causeway. Soon after they had sat down in the tap-room they were assailed by the defendants; and three other men also commenced ridiculing the soldiers, and doing everything to_provoke a disturbance. The sailers were not disposed to enter into a conflict with the parties, and were about leaving the house, when they were attacked and beaten in a very shameful manner. The policeman hearing the noise went into the house, and in his attempt to secure the principal rioters he had his staff wrested from him, and but for the speedy arrival of assistance, he would have been maltreated. As it was, Ranby, one of the soldiers, was knocked down, severely beaten, and bad his, head contused in such a serious manner that he was obliged to be conveyed to the hospital, where he at present lies in a very critical si tuation. Another soldier had his mouth cut, and some of his front teeth knocked out; and considerable difficulty was ex perienced in taking the defendants into custody, three if their companions having escaped. Mr. COTTINGITAM said the charge was of such a serious nature, he should remand the prisoners till Itednesday. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday John Bransgrare, captain of the Eclipse Rich mond steamer, appeared on a summons, charging him with the following outrage : Mr. Thomas Houghton, a gentleman residing in Blizzard's place, Fulham-road, stated that on the evening of Thurs day week he was at the Thames Regatta at Putney, and re turned to town by the Eclipse. O going on board the steamer he inquired what would be charged for himself and friend for their conveyance to Chelsea, and was informed by defendant, the same as the other boats, 4d. each. As they neared Battersea -bridge a youth, who was collecting the fares, demanded 6d. each; and, on their refusing to pay that sum, the captain declared that they should not go ashore, and they as positively insisted that they would, reminding him at the time of the agreement he had entered into with them. The boat came alongside the Violet, which was lying next the dummy at the Yorkshire Grey pier, Chelsea, when complainant tendered the Bd. for himself and friend, which the mate refused to take ; and on complainant's setting his foot on board the Violet, in order to land, the defendant knocked him down, and then placing his knee upon his chest said, " Will you pay?" and on complainant's refusing, he leant more heavily upon him, and said "If you don't you —, I'll burst you." Complainant still refused to submit to the imposition, when the captain got off him, and one of the crew treated him in a similar brutal manner. He was then released, the captain having given orders that the 4d. per head should be taken, and went ashore. After a good deal of evidence, Mr. BOND observed, that he considered this case most im portant to persons who for pleasure or business travelled by steam-beats on the Thames, and it never could be allowed that persons having control of vessels should extort what they considered to be their rights by such atrocious means. After a very lengthened investigation be was bound to state that ho considered this complaint very clearly proved. Com plainant, who had had the spirit to resist the imposition, had been treated with the most brutal and serious violence, and defendant must pay the highest penalty the law allowed him to inflict-51., in default of which he would be committed for two months.—The fine was paid. Eliza Billington, a respectably- dressed middle-aged woman, was finally examined, charged with stealing some Prayer books from the Cadogan Chapel, and committed. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

W. E. Gladstone, Sir Edward Knatchbull, and Lord Granville Somerset. The Council sat an hour. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had a meeting yesterday afternoon, at their office in Whitehall place. There were present, the Archbishop of Canter bury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Durham, the Bishop of Bangor, the Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of Ely, the Bishop of Lichfield, the Bishop of-Llandaff, the Bishop of Norwich, the Bishop of Rochester, the Bishop of Worcester, the Earl of Besborough, the Earl of llarrowby, and the Dean of Westminster. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governor of Gibraltar. THE POST-OFFICE. Another Ministerial defeat ! When or where are these disasters to end ? He must be something more than a prophet that can answer the question. There seems nothing for poor Sir Robert but disasters. Last night, knowing that Mr. Duncombe's motion for an inquiry into the Post-office espionage of the Home Secretary would be carried against him, he actually prevailed on 'Sir James Graham to come forward and make substantially the same motion himself. Was ever humiliation equal to this ? Pistol eating the leek was nothing to it. Sir James Graham used to characterise the Melbourne Administration as the shabby Ministry. The epithet " shabby" may be applied with much propriety to the Peel Ministry, and with a peculiar propriety to the Home Secretary himself. "We thank thee Jew, for teaching us that word." The country will share in our gratification that an inquiry has at last been extorted from Ministers. Eng land owes to Mr. Duncombe a debt of gratitude which it can never discharge, for the able and energetic and triumphant manner in which he has conducted this case from the first We shall now get at the real state of matters. Startling, we doubt not, will be the disclosures which the Committee will make—dark the doings which they will drag into the light of day. It was generally said that it was a part of the Post-of Ace system of France to open letters. Mr. Duncombe quoted the assertion to the contrary, which Guizot made the other day in the Chamber of Deputies. Letters are sacred in France. No functionary there plays the part of a Post-office inquisitor. And is it come to this, that despotic doings take place in the Post-office of England which are unknown in the Post-office of France? Where is the Englishman that does not blush for his country that such things should be? The national indignation is aroused, and it must not, and will not, subside until means are devised to put an end for ever to such odious, unconstitutional, and dis graceful practices.—Advertiser.

If any person doubts the possibility of the occurrence of the phenomenon, his scepticism may be re moved by reading the following fact, the truth of which can be easily ascertained :—During the thunderstorm that raged in the metropolis on Monday evening, and immediately after a loud clap of thunder, mingled with the heavy rain that fell, there came down a thick sheet of yellow sand and small white pebbles. How far it extended the writer cannot say, but it fell heavily in the yard and on the leaden roofs of the back premises of the houses situated on the north side of Cambridge-street, Hyde Park-square. An immense quan tity of this sand and small stones descended with great vio lence on the leaden roof of the back kitchen and wash-house of No. 2, in the above street. The back premises of the houses, Nos. 1, 3, and 4, received a lighter sprinkling of the sand shower. The writer's examination did not extend be yond those houses, and whether the shower took a more ex tensive range or not he cannot vouch from personal inspection. YORK MINSTER.—This beautiful ecclesiastical edifice has been closed for some time, and has undergone a complete restoration. It will be re- opened for Divine service next Sunday. FATAL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. —On Sunday evening last, shortly before six o'clock, as the Thunder, Rich mond steam-boat was making for Lambeth Pier, opposite the Archbishop of Canterbury's Palace, it occasioned a serious accident. From the statement of persons on board the steamer, as well as of those who witnessed the occur rence from the shore, it appears that at the moment the steamer altered her course for the pier, a small boat, con taining a waterman, named Tucker, belonging to Lambeth Stairs, and another person, was observed proceeding in the contrary direction. The tide was then running very fast, and the people in the steamer called to those in the small boat to pull on the near side ; instead of rowing with the right-hand oars they pulled with the left hand, which caused the head of the small boat to run under the bows of the steamer. The captain, having previously given orders to ease the vessel, had the same instantly stopped. Tucker, instead of keeping his place- with his companion, got up, which caused the boat to overturn, and they were both pre cipitated into the water. They were quickly out of sight, but Tucker, after a few seconds, came to the surface of the water, and was picked up by a waterman who put off on seeing the accident- He was then alive, and without loss of time was removed to his house, where he had medical at tendance, but owing to the serious injuries he had received by being struck by some object, in all probability the paddles of the Thunder, he lingered until Monday forenoon, when he expired. Although a diligent search was made for the other unfortunate person, up to last evening (Tuesday) the body had not been discovered, and it is supposed that he was drawn underneath the steamer and then forced back with the tide. Information of the occurrence has been forwarded to Mr. Carter, the Coroner, who will hold an inquest on the body to morrow (Thursday) forenoon. We are authorised to contradict a rumour which has gained very general circulation in the fashionable world, that after several Special Committees of the Reform Club re cently held, the result had been, the far-famed chef de cuisine, M. Soyer, had suddenly quitted that establishment. This gentleman continues at the Club with the confidence of the members more increased, if possible, than diminished. We are led to believe that an elaborate work upon his peculiar art is now in the press. Mr. Bond has succeeded Mr. Walter Scott as Secretary of the Reform Club. ACCIDENT BY THE LIGHTNING.--On Monday even ing, during the storm, the lightning struck the clock of St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, and sent the minute hand, which was at ten minutes past six o'clock, back five minutes, when it stopped ; the flash passed down the steeple, and crossed the street, where Mr. Cadman, the umbrella manu facturer, who was standing at his door, received a severe shock on the legs, which nearly felled him to the ground. FRAUDS IN NEWSPAPER PROPRIETARY AND AGENTS.—A man named Francis Osborne, alias Honey Hors field, is in custody at Brighton, charged with having ob tained from various newspaper offices and trom nespaper agents, papers under false pretences. It is supposed t w hat his operations in this way have been extensive. - The copies ob tained he was in the habit of selling as waste Pa per.

Jews aro, of course, always sworn upon the Bible, and the coroner or dered ae, man to go fora copy of the Old Testament. After some delay the man returned, and it was stated, amid the laughter of the Court, that he had been looking for a literally old Testament, namely, a copv of the Scriptures, published some time ago, and one which, from its ragged and worn ap. pearance, afforded proof that it was an old one.

The following is a copy of the official documents re lating to the wreck of, and piracy on board, the barque Saladin, the detailed particulars of which appeared a day or two since : " Admiralty, July 1, 1844. Sir, —I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you, for the information' of the Committee for managing the affairs at Lloyd's. the accompanying copy of a letter and its inclosure from Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, relative to the wreck of, and piracy on board, the barque, Saladin. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) " JOHN BARROW. " To Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's." (conic.) "Pyramus—Halifax, June 13, 1844. " Sir,—lacquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that, on the 27th ult., I was informed by Mr. M. Tobin, the agent of Lloyd's at this port, that the barque Saladin, bound to London from Valparaiso, had been run on shore and wrecked, near Country Harbour, on this coast, under circum stances that gave strong grounds for suspicion that an act of piracy had been committed, and, in the course of the day, I was applied to by the Marshal of the Vice- Admiralty Court to afford him assistance in securing the property and apprehending the crew. " I accordingly directed Lieutenant Bulman to receive the Marshal's deputy, and the agent for Lloyd's, on board the Fair Rosamond, and proceed to Country Har bour for that purpose. I inclose the report of his pro ceedings. " Upon the examination of the prisoners (six in num ber) it was quite apparent that there were the strongest grounds for suspicion, and they have all since confessed that it was at the instigation of a man named Fielding, who was formerly master of a ship, which had been seized at Valparaiso, and who was a passenger on board. The master, two mates, and three others of the crew were murdered. That Fielding and his son, a boy of 15, were afterwards put to death, in consequence of an attempt on his part to get rid of two men, who had been the principal actors in the murder of the master and others ; and that the ship was run on shore as already mentioned. " It it intended to admit two of the six men who were not at all engaged in the murder of the master and the crew as witnesses, and bring the other prisoners to trial here. I have, &c., (Signed) " CHARLES ADAM, "Vice-Admiral and Commander-in Chief. " To Hon. Sidney Herbert, &c., &c., M.P." (cony.) " H. M. schooner Fair Rosamond, Halifax, June 3. " Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that, in obedience to your orders, I sailed from Halifax on the morning of the 28th ult. Calms and fog obliged me to anchor off the Thrum Cap buoy on the 29th. At 1 A. 31 a breeze from the northward springing up, I immediately weighed, and at 8 P.m.,' reached Cape St. Mary, where I hove to, and the next morning, anchored at Harbour Island, it blowing then very hard at N.W. In the afternoon, the weather moderating, I dispatched the boat under the orders of Mr. F. Willis, with the Deputy Marshal of the Vice-Admi ralty Court, and the Hon. Mr. Tobin, Lloyd's agent, to Mr. Archibald, the magistrate in Country Harbour, a distance of twenty miles, where the specie and crew of the vessel were. On the following morning they re turned, bringing the treasure and six sailors of the Sala din. I visited the wreck. She appears to be about 250 tons, and by the bills of lading found, had a cargo composed of 80, tons of copper in bars, 10,000 dollars, and 13 bars of silver ; the remainder in guano ; the latter is completely saturated with salt water, and rendered useless as a manure. Of the treasure all has been secured with the exception of 707 dollars. and 46/. 7s. 6d. British money. 740 bags of coffee have been saved, and sent off to Halifax, and the remainder (165) will, no doubt, be got out of the vessel as soon as the guano is washed away. Scuttles heve been cut for the purpose. All the furniture and rigging are also landed. She is only a stone's throw from the beach. On Saturday, the Ist instant, when the weather cleared up, I weighed anchor and sailed for this port, and now beg to report my arrival. I have, &c. (Signed) " A. G. BULMAN. " Vice. Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief." DREADFUL DEATH.—On the forenoon of Sabbath last, as a coach was proceeding towards the village of Greenend, a boy about twelve years of age leapt up on the back part, and by the force of the spring he made, his head got jammed between the hind wheel and the body of the coach. The coachman was quite uncon scious of the accident, and had proceeded about 500 yards from the place when he was called to by some persons on the road. On the boy being taken down, he was found to be quite dead. The front of the head was much cut, and the road was tracked with blood for a considerable distance.— Glasgow National.

LONDON DocKs.—The usual half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of the London Dock Company, was hell yesterday, at their house, in Princes-street, in order to con sider of the dividend for the half year, elect Directors, and receive the general report of the board. Mr. John Cattley was in -the chair. Mr. J. D. Powles, after the minutes of the last meeting had been read and confirmed, proceeded to read the report for the six months ending the 31st of May. The Dock returns during that period were 173,888/. Bs. 5d., including the profit on the sale of London Dock stock held by the COmpany ; the nett revenue from the business transactions during the half year, being 160,1691. Is. Id. Important im provements had been effected in the warehousing and other departments, especially in the West Quay, where four sepa rate warehouses were available. Owing to the increased operations of the Company, the Directors were enabled to recommend a further augmentation in the dividend, viz.: to 21. ss. per cent, for the half year, and which would still leave a balance in favour of the Company of 4291. The Chairman remarked, that the increased prosperity of the Company must be a matter for congratulation with the Proprietors, and that the efforts of, the Directors should continue to be directed to the promotion of, their interests. The resolutian for the adoption, of the report was put and carried, and it was an nounced that the dividend would be paid on the Bth instant. Sewers WOOD PAVING IN THE vITY. - 21. vOlll , . o f was held yesterday at Guildhall, at which about thirty Com - missioners were present, including Sir P. Laurie, Mr. R. L. Jones, Mr. Deputy Peacock, and Alderman Gibbs, who pre sided. The almost interminable question of wood-paving again-came under discussion, in consequence of the attend ance of deputations from the inhabitants of Fleet-street and St. Paul's Church yard, soliciting the confirmation of a reso lution for paving these great thoroughfares with wood, which had been passed on the previous Court day. Mr. Deputy Peacock moved that the resolution be rescinded; which havin ,, been seconded, Sir P. Laurie observed that he was opposed to wood-paving, not only because it was unsafe, but from a conviction that it would entail a greater expense than stone on the citizens, and he, therefore, thought he was ren dering the inhabitants an essential service by supporting the motion for rescinding the resolution. The motion was, after some further observations, put and carried, thus deferring wood-paving for the present. The deputation, consisting of about fifty persons, retired, expressing disappointment at the result, and deelaring their intention to procure the conven ing of wardmotes as early as possible. A field of rye was cut at 'Worsens Lafitte, in the neighbourhood of Paris, on Tuesday last. The Paris papers say that there is no instance of so early a harvest for upwards of 25 years. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vtibitt Optittott. " Who runs may read." PO .SIGN. On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the British Ambassador, Lord Cowley, the Hanoverian Ambassador, the Prefect of the Seine, Mar shal Gerard, Admiral Willaumez, General Marquis de La place, and Barons de Mareuil et Ayme. The Moniteur Parisien announces that the King and Queen of the Belgians are expected to arrive shortly at the Palace of Neuilly. The Presse All the Peers and Deputies who have co-operated in the formation of railway companies have, we are assured, given in their resignations." The Patrie doubts the truth of this statement, the Chamber of Peers not hav ing yet sanctioned the amendment of M. Cremieux against Deputies being connected with railroad companies. A Toulon letter, of th e 26th Ult., says—" The IZubis, which is to form part of the expedition under the Prince de Joinville, takes out a large quantity of Congreve rockets. The Marengo and the Neptune are taking in provisions, and will imme diately proceed to join the expedition. The Belle Pouffe, which has taken on board a large quantity of bags of earth, has sailed, as has also the. Gassendi. ' A letter front Barcelona, of the 24th ult., states that Mr. Bulwer, the English Ambassador, who has been for some time in a weak state of health, has left Barcelona, for the baths of Caldas. The day before his departure, he sent his secretary to London, with dispatches. The same letter in forms us that the two Queens are expected to remain for some months in Barcelona. The Opinion of Auch states that all the preliminary pro ceedings in the affair of Mme. Lacoste, accused of poisoning her husband, have been completed, and that notice has been served at the former residence of Mme. Lacoste, that she must constitute herself prisoner within the space of ten days after the date of the notification. The trial is fixed for July 10; and the chemists of Paris, MM. Flandin, Pelouze, and Du vergie, are summoned to attend on that day, as well as their medical brethren of Auch. On Tuesday last many of the communes of Saone-et- Loire had nearly all the growing crops destroyed by the effects of a violent storm. In a few minutes the ground was covered with thick layers of hailstones of enormous size. Many roofs of buildings were greatly damaged, and the destruction of glass was so extensive that it will require many days to replace it. The state of the crops in France is generlly satisfactory. Wheats are fine, although they have suffered in some places. It is said that the grain will be excellent, but the quantity of straw will be but small. A slight tendency to a fall in prices has already been perceptible in some markets. LAW AND POLICE. In the Court of Queen's Bench the caseof the Queen v. Lord Ashburton and others, after two days' hearing, was brought to a close, when the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. At Queen's-square John Bransgrove, captain of the Eclipse, Richmond steamer, appeared on a summons, charging him with assaulting, on board that vessel, Mr. Thomas Houghton, residing in Blizzard's-place, Fulham-road. The assault arose out of a dispute about tae amount of fare during the Thames regatta on Thursday week. Mr. Bond said the outrage was one which called for a marked punishment. He should in flict a fine of 51., in default of which committal for two months. The fine was paid. At the Mansion-house a woman of respectable appearance, of the name of Catherine Hall, dressed in deep mourning, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to drown herself in the Thames, near London bridge. She was remanded. The Thames Police-office was crowded with persons who attended to prefer complaints against an elderly and well dressed Jew, named Moses Martin, of Petticoat-lane, who surrendered, before Mr. Broderip, to answer a charge of cheating numerous small shopkeepers. Several cases were adduced and evidence given. Mr. Broderip said it was quite clear the prisoner had been going on defrauding the public for a long time, and advised all the parties to go and indict him at the sessions now holding. Two Jews became bail for Martin, and he was dismissed. COITAT-P.A.SISIONELBLE.

MISCELLANEOUS. A meeting of the Wellington Committee was held on Tuesday, at which Sir Peter Laurie protested that his sole reason for intruding himself into the Mansion-house, on the day of fixing the statue, was his anxiety for the honour of the presence of the King of Saxony, that the event might be re corded in the annals of the Corporation. In consequence of the Duchess of Buccleuch's fete at Montagu House to-morrow, the proposed meeting of the ladies patronesses of the Waverly fancy dress ball has been deferred until Friday, when the final arrangements are to be determined on. _ On the 2d instant a new steam-frigate, called the Retri bution, was launched at Chatham.

ESCAPE OF A SOLDIER FROM THE STRONG-ROOM IN THE TOWER.—On Sunday night last, Thomas Hodges, a private in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, made his escape from the strong-room attached to the barracks in the Tower. He was under sentence of sixty days' confinement, for disobe dience of orders, and is believed to have been in possession of a quantity of valuable jewellery which had been stolen from a gentleman named Studly, at North Brixton, by his servant, who was transported for the offence at the last Old Bailey Sessions. The girl was taken into custody in the Tower, 'while on a visit to Hodges, who was seen several times, by his comrades, with jewellery and a number of so vereigns, after that occurrence. He was taken into custody and examined at Union-hall, but discharged for want of evi - dence. Since then he had been tried by a Court-martial, and sentenced to sixty days' confinement. He contrived to get a suit of private clothes on Saturday, and was seen in possession of a diamond ring and about twenty sovereigns. He is supposed to have gone to Hereford, and a handsome reward is offered for his apprehension. He is about six feet high, well made, light complexion, and sandy hair and whis kers, aged twenty-six. BRASSFOUNDERS, COPPERSMITHS, AND BRAZIERS' INSTlTUTlON.—Yesterdathis Company held their sixth an niversary dinner at the White Conduit House Tavern, wh en the Treasurer, William Devey, Esq-, presided. This Insti tution was established for the purpose of providing support for the decayed members of these respective trades, and we have the pleasure to say that few have been the occasions upon which the objects of the supporters of charitable insti tutions of which we have been cognisant, have been more successful, taking into consideration their limited means. The Chairman was ushered to his seat amidst the cheers of the company, which consisted of about 300 persons. He was supported on his entrance by two knights in splendid brass armour, the construction of which was very creditable to the manufacturers of it. After the usual loyal toasts, &c., the worthy Chairman, who appears to have the goodwill of all connected with him in business, expressed himself de lighted with the spirit displayed by the working classes ge nerally, but especially by those with whom he was more im mediately connected, in looking forward to and providing for a time when it is impossible for any one so to exert himself as to provide the necessaries for the daily maintenance of himself and those dependent on him. He was glad to see a spirit of independence growing and spreading throughout the country amongst mechanical men, which would be sure to establish goodwill and prosperity for them all. CHANGING SEATS.—A club of nine persons agreed to dine together every day as long as they could alt down to table differently arranged. To have clone so, they must have all lived 110 years andl7o days, and ate 062,000 dinners. .Y•) , r.3r.
