The motion, which was opposed by Lord G. SOMER SET, Mr. WARBURTON, and Mr. J. S. WORTLEY, was lost by a majority of 48, the numbers being, for the mo tion, 22 ; against it, 70. „ Mr. CiREENE moved the re-appointment of the Rail way Bills Committee, for the purpose of referring to them similar resolutions to those which had teen agreed to by the Railway Bills Committee of the Houae of Lords. After a short conversation, the motion was agreed to. A new writ was ordered fur Exeter, in consequence of the vacancy occasioned by the death of Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT. The correspondence on the subject of the admission of Cuba sugars was laid on the table. Captain LAYARD moved an Address to her Majesty, praying her to cause inquiry to be made into the expe diency of limiting service in the army to ten years, with a view to secure the services of a better class of men, and thereby prevent desertion. Mr. SIDNEY HERBF.RT, on the part of the Govern ment, could not accede to the motion. Mr. HUME supported the motion. The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. S. HERBERT, Mr. HUME, .';ir HOWARD DOUGLAS, and several other Honourable Members, but ultimately the motion was withdrawn. Mr. M. MILNES then rose to address the House on the present mode of conducting public ex• cutions in this country ; but there not being forty members present, the House adjourned at eight o'clock. On many occasions we have had to call the attention of our readers to the flagrant enormity of the dispropor tion bet ween the legalised costs decreed against offenders over whom the Magistrates exercise summary jurisdic tion, and the amount of damages found against or fine levied upon the same parties. But the cases we have hitherto adduced on such occasions are comparatively trivial in the character of their vexatiousness, and the disparity of the penalty to the offence, when put side by side with that which we noticed in our paper of yester day. A poor man was charged on Wednesday last, be fore the Magistrates of the Egham division of the County of Surrey, with having cut down grass of the value of four farthings, on the edge of a ditch upon the farm of one LANE. The man, RosE, was convicted of having committed damage to the extent of four far hings—no doubt an exceedingly heinous offence, and far be it from us to palliate it. If a penny saved Ibe a' penny gained, according to the assurance of the old proverb, a penny insidiously purlOined from the sacred purlieus of a man's ditch, must be at least the square of four pennies ; and that is a large allowance. But what was the sum of the costs actually decreed against this formidable agrarian felon who had, out of an overweening affection for his donkey, we presume, clandestinely, but in a moment of reckless sympathy, cut down a part of the valuable growing crop which adorned and gave importance to the brink of a fosse ? Some 150 times the amount of the assessed damage. Thirteen shillings and sixpence was the modest demand, en nomine expensarum, of the enlightened bench, conse quent on damages assessed of the amount of one penny. Within the memory of most living men, we believe that the price of hay has not risen to such a price as it was fetching in the Spring, 71. a load. Supposing that the present season promised no better grass crop than that of last year, and that this rustic plunderer had cut down, that is if he could, so much of the matchless bordering of this inviolable ditch-bank as would have amounted to the equivalent, dried, of a truss of hay ; the Egham bench having ordered him to pay 4s. fur the "damages," ought to have s« ntenced him, on their own rules of proportion, to 150 times four shillings as costs—say 301. sterling. This may seem very absurd to uninformed people, who have never learned to believe with the earlier sages among our legal commentators, " that the law is the perfecti in of common sense." But to talk, after this, of agricultural protection ? What is the necessity for it ? Any speculative farmer who has surrounded his homestead, like some retired burgomaster in the suburbs «X Leyden, or a rich Landdrost in his canal-encircb d domain in Batavia, with a ditch of banks as verdant as its waters, may realise upon a few roods of land a more profitattl.• return than other men can derive in these times from ten well cultivated acres. Let him only leave his gates open o' nights. so that whether " at early dawn or on dewy eve," these wayfaring interlopers may test the quality 4f the neglected herbage on the borders of his w alit* or the e ages of his ditches, and he will have s-wn and reaped at once to some purpose. A bench of county magistrati s—pet haps his brother guardians in the union—it may be his landlord or his customers— will fet 1 every just degree of indignation on his account every disposition not to wrong the mysterious unknown, .cvcr be be, Tri2o is the party bon. Gted these un accountable, excessive, overwhelming carts :-13s. 4d. on a decree of 4 farthings damages ! There is one re markable allowance to be made, it is true, as a setoff against such legitimate and equitable profit as might otherwise accrue to vigilant trespass prosecutors. Pay ment ought to follow upon conviction. But it does not n Tessarily follow that conviction is followed by pay meht—eiiher of damages or costs. The Act of Par liament, with singularly ill-judged lenity, has provided for the course to be taken with the convicted, in " de fault of payment." Instead of following up the ad mirable principle of apportioning costs after the rate of 150 fold on damages found, by some acts of personal infliction on the delinquent, as it ought in consistency to have done, such as drawing out a tooth per week (rrom those who have them). during the period of de fault, on King John's graduated scale of Jew-dealing ; or putting them in the pillory once a week, till full liquidation of debt and costs ; instead of this, the Act of Parliament directs, for such defaults, a certain equiva lent of imprisonment, founded on very uncertain rules. In the case to which we are immediately addressing our selves, the very bad, who, having committed damages to the amount of four farthings, is unprepared to pay, in addition, 160 farthings for costs, is most properly con demned to three weeks' imprisonment. Oh, righteous law ! Oh ! paternally treated peasantry ! Oh ! land of equal justice, equal rights, equal penalties ! It must be a source of peculiar gratification to poor RosE to knov , that had he been of gentle blood and gentle for tunes he might, on the very first day of next hunting season, have gratified himself by riding over the lands of every Magistrate on the Bench—and in a gallop over springing corn and young turnips have committed da mages with impunity to the amount of four pounds in stead of four farthings,—followed by no costs (to himself), and no consequences on default of paying damages. Let us hope that he has by this time learned to appre ciate the impartial bearing of: magistrate-made laws on all classes of her Majesty's subjects ; the high protecting duty oe agriculturists, who extract, in enhanced prices for their own grown corn., millions per annum frem:he pockets of our indigent,and industrial community,—end the small ditch-edge grass cropper, who robs a farmer in a single night of green forage to the anoint of four farthings ! The accounts from Protestant Ulster are of a very distressing and alarming character. In the county of Cavan the law is set at defiance, an extensive system of outrage has been organised, many houses have been r.bh d of a-ins and money, and the inhabitants sujected to all the hardships and it juries usually in flicted by lawless banditti. According to a memo• rial ad,lres.ed to the Lord Lieutenant, by Lord FARNHAM, the Deputy Lieutenant of the county, and thirty-eight magistrates, describing the disturbed state of the district, these depredators are considered to be Roman Catholics, and fears are entertained that the indignation excited among the Protestant population 'y :heir atrocities will be visited upon Catholics indis criminately. It is further stated, that the respectable inhabitants professing the Catholic faith have done every thing possible to suppress the outrages, that they are filled with alarm and terror, and that the Roman Ca tholic bishop and clergy are as anxious as the other well disposed persons in the county that a stop should be put by vigorous measures to such a depl. Table state of things. They therefore urge upon Lord HEYTESBURY the absolute necessity of putting in force the powers vested in the Government, and express their conviction that the existing laws are not adequate to afford pro vetion to life sad property. These outrages, of c curse, must be put down with a strong hand, :he law must be enforced, and life and property protected ; but we believe the existing laws are sufficiently strong for that purpose. If the Catholic clergy, the respectable portion of their flocks, and the whole Protestant population, with the magis trates, and military and police, act with honesty of pur pose and impartiality, the lawless multitude would soon be brought to punishment, but we regret to find that certain of the Orange party are not inclined to show such a disposition, and are resolved to protect themselves—in other words, to take the law :et , their own hands, and re-organise those in utions so detested by Catholics—the Orange ludgr..3. This is net the way to restore peace or settle oiffer,nc, s ; en the e, terary, such a step will , e• : . , 'd fee; to the flame, and render the north of Ire :el-al ueinhabitable fur civilised beings. If the Legisla ture, therefore, interfere at all, the party processions must be put down, and impartial justice be meted out to Protestants and Catholics alike. Distress and hunger, caused by want of employment, are the real sources of these evils, and while there are from two millions to three millions of inhabitants willing to work, but unable to find masters to engage them, there must be an il.rl.sant recurrence of such lawless scenes. Let 'ir. O',;O,INELL do his duty, let him urge on the clergy of the people the absolute necessity of repressing outrage and restoring tranquillity, and with the aid of the Government, strengthened as it must be by their present conciliatory measures, something like security might be established, and employment on public under takings be obtained for the starving population. Madrid journals of the 23d of June announce a fact which shows that the financial crisis could no longer be warded off. The bank of San Fernando had officially announced in the Gazette that the Directors had come to the resolution of refusing discounts of every description, including even the acceptances of the bank itself. This resolution, one of the papers states, can only have been dictated by the knowledge of some grave and mysterious event. It appears the bank is abundantly supplied with money, but owing to the exten sive and alarming speculations in the funds lately, it had re solved on this dangerous alternative to avoid a greater cala mity. The Gazette also publishes the regulation for levying the new income-tax of 300,000,000 reels (3,000,0000. The funds nevertheless continued firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 32 9-16 for cash, and 321 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies is new getting through the business of the session at railroad speed. In the sitting of Saturday, in less than four hours, they voted 58,000,000 f. (2,300,000/), nearly the whole of which sum is to be ex• pended in public works, such as improving the harbours of Toulon, Port Vendres, Granville, Morlaix, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, and a few other places. For Boulogne the sum voted was 450,000 f. ; Calais, 300,000 E ; and Dunkirk, 1,300,000 f. The estimates altogether amount to the large sum of 1,434,439,406 f. (57,400,0001.) According to accounts from Algiers, of the 22d Jung•, ABD-EL-KADER was still within the French frontier, waiting only for an opportunity to renew his attacks. The Constitutionnel publishes a rumour relative to the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN, which appears little entitled to credit. France, it says, will consent to her marrying a Prince of Coburg, brother of the King of PORTUGAL and the Duchess of NEMOURS, and England for this complaisance will not object to a marriage between the Duke of MONT PENSIER and the QUEEN'S sister. Queen IsABELLA, ac cording to the same journal, is in very bad health, and had been confined to her bed for three days at Barcelona. Indeed, there is every probability that her sister will succeed to the throne. No business was done in the funds at TORTONI'S on Sunday. The following are the quotations of shares on the Lyons Bourse, June 26 :—Avignon and Marseilles Railroad, 980 f., end of June; Paris and Orleans, 1,173 E, ditto; Paris and Rouen, 1,035 E, ditto; Orleans and Vierzon, 727 f., ditto; Orleans and Bordeaux, 645 f., ditto; Boulogne, 585 f., ditto; Montereau, 526 f., ditto. Several articles and letters in type—among others two about Westminster Hall—are unavoidably postponed, for want of room. INDIA AND CHINA. In a second edition of the Morning Herald we find extracts from the Bombay and Calcutta papers, brought by the Over land Mail. Their dates are Bombay, the 20th of May, and Calcutta, May 7, with intelligence from China to the 20th of March. The Victoria steamer, with the mail, ar rived at Suez on the 11th ult., twenty-two days from Bombay, bringing thirty-two passengers. She was dis. patched eleven days in advance of the usual time in con sequence of the monsoon. British India remains perfectly tran quil ; the affairs in the Punjaub are still in a very unsettled state ; Sinde was healthy—at least we infer the fact from the silence of the journals that faithfully report every symp tom of illness and everything that tells against Sir C. Napier. Akbar Khan had given up all thoughts of attacking Peshawur, and the princes on the west of the Indus had taken such alarm at the military operations of the gallant Napier and his little gallant army, that they had written to Dost Mahomed, entreating him to prevail on the British authorities not to molest them. Furlough had been granted to six regiments of Bombay native infantry, each of which bad about 200 men absent on leave—the best proof of the tranquillity of the country. The news from China is without interest, and we find nothing in the money or stock markets that require notice. Sir Henry Hardinge was still at Calcutta, and the Company's dominions supply no new intelligence whatever. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

Parties who are called upon in this country to aid such of the unfortunate inhabitants of Quebec as have been deprived of their homes by the dreadful conflagration, must not sup pose but that the citizens whose property escaped the ravages of the fire had used all proper exertions to relieve the suf ferers. Besides subscribing a large amount, lodgings, tents, provisions, &c., had been furnished, a guard put over the property found, and other judicious arrangements made; and it is sincerely to be hoped that there will be no backward ness here. Many of the leading mercantile firms had sub scribed most liberally at Quebec, and the Bank of British North America gave 2501. An important arrival of emigrants of the better class is noticed in letters from Montreal —viz., 247 English, all from the counties of Devon and Cornwall, and fine healthy-looking agriculturists, all persons of small capital, and described as being just the sort of men to do well in Canada. They were all bound for Upper Canada, and it was believed that it was their intention to settle in the neighbourhood of Coburg. We are sorry to learn by the last accounts from New foundland, that the seal fishery this spring has been more disastrous than almost any ever remembered on the coasts of that island, so far as the catch had been hitherto reported; and a general gloom pervaded the trade of the community, looking at the vast amount of wealth which had been em barked in the speculation, and the limited returns which so far had been made for it. The public Funded Securities have been without alteration to-day, Consols for the opening having realised 98'7 8 to 99, but the premium on Exchequer-bills has further declined to 555. and 525. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 102 to 102 1 / 8 , and the Three per Cents. 99 1 / 8 to 994. Bank Stock has been at about yesterday's value. The Foreign Bonds are heavy. The value of Spanish Five per Cents. have been down to 27 1 ,4 %; and of the Three per Cents. to 39% and 39. The interest on the home Three per Cents. is to be payable in London as well as at Paris and Madrid. Portuguese Old Stock has been at 84. Mexican Bonds have been steady at 36% 14. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 6.214 N. For Railway Shares there is more inquiry, and prices have rather improved in many instances. Brighton, South- Eastern, Croydon, &c., are quoted higher. London and York are lower. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRI CES. 3 por Cent.

Ridley, Bart., which have run for many years in the a Northumberland, were sold by auction by Messrs. Tattersallcounty a t n y d Sons, Hyde Park.corner, at which there was a large attendance of gentlemen well known in the sporting world. There were 42 couples, which were divided into nine lots, of five, five and.s.half, and six couples each. The first lot (five couples), for which there were several bidders, was bought by Mr. Ives for 100 guineas ; lot 6 (six couples), and 7 (51 couples), were sold to Mr. Latouche, :of Kildare, for 100 guineas and 115 guineas. The pro perty, after much competition, was disposed of for the sum of 7131. 16s. There were also six bitches, with whelps, put up for sale. Prejudice, with four whelps, went for 21 guineas; and the whole fetched 531. 7s. As the Saumon steamer was leaving Marseilles for Arles last week, cries of distress arose, without the crew being able to make out from whence they proceeded. Tbey at last die_ covered a lady and gentleman clinging to the chains in great fear. It appeared that these persons had come late, and got a waterman to place them on a sort of landing close to which the vessel was to pass, and from which they intended stepping on board. The ves sel passing a little wide they caught boldly at what was within their reach, and not being able to get farther cried out for aid. They were got safely on board, after having been for a quarter of an hour in their perilous position. DEATH BT BATHING IN THE THAMEL—Monday morning, shortly before seven o'clock, Mr. James Willingham 19 years of age, son of Captain Willingham, belonging to thee brig Effingham, lying in the pool, jumped from the vessel into the river, and it is supposed he must have struck his head either against the side of the ship or a hawser of another vessel, as he never afterwards rose. The body was taken by the tbde under the tiers of shipping. FOOT-RACE IN OXFORD-STREET.—Monday morn ing, a foot-race of 140 yards, between Franks and amateur pedestrians), for 101., came o ff over a meas ured distance of the wood pavement in O x f or d -street.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colo nel Bouverie, honoured the British Institution in Pall- Mall with a visit yesterday. The statement in the evening papers of Monday, of her Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians having ho noured the review on that day with their presence, is totally incorrect. Her Majesty was not present. Their Royal Highnesses 'he Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their accustomed walks and rides ye-sterday, in the royal gardens of Buckingham Palace. The Viscountess Jocelyn has succeeeded Lady Port man as the Lady in Waiting to the Queen. The Eari of Morton has succeeded Lord. Rivers as the Lord in Waiting to her Majesty.

The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by their Majesties the king and Queen of the Belgians, honoured the Italian Opera with their presence last evening. The royal suite included the Viscountess Jocelyn, Baroness d'Hooghvorst. Earl of Morton, Colonel Buckley, Colonel Bouverie, and Major de Mo , Tkerke. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager also honoured the performance of the Opera with her presence. Her Majesty was accompanied by the Duchess Ida, the Princesses Anne and Aim,lie, and the Princes Edward and Armand of Saxe Weimar, awl was attended by the Marchioness of Ormonde, th e Hon.

PROTEST AGAINST THE LANDLORDS AND TENANTS' BILL. DISSENTIENT- 1. Because Whilst we are most solicitous to support any measure which pr 'duct's, or which has any tendency to produce, an improvement in the condition of the oc cupying tenantry of Ireland, we are unable to discover in the provision.; of the present Bill any enactment which will have that beneficial effect. 2. Because we consider the improvement of agricul ture and the extension of a demand for labour in Ire land, to depend very mainly upon the mutual good understanding and co-operation between landlord and tenant, and the contribution of the capital of the one class in aid of the industry of the other, which the pro visions of this Bill seem calculated to check and Erni., rather than to increase and to encourage. 3. Because of the intervention of a uovernment officer, called in, not as a guide and adviser, by two parties anxious to combine in the execution of a definite system of well-considered imprcvement, but interposing at the regoo , :i of ono party only, and possibly //gains the con• sent of the other, appears to us manifestly unjust in prin ciple, and likely to lead to dissensions and jealousies, where it is most important that goodwill and cordiality should permanently exist. 4. Because we consider the compulsory introduction of new and varied obligations between parties who have already entered into contracts, and this without a saving of those existing contracts, gives to this Bill an ex post Jack operation, contrary to justice and to the first prin ciples on which sound legislation should proceed ; prin ciples which have hitherto been regarded by Parliament as sacred and inviolable. 5. Because the introduction of a measure like the present seems peculiarly rash, dangerous, and inoppor tune, at a time when it appears from the report of the commissioners that "in spite of many embarrassing and counteracting circumstances, in almost every part of Ireland, unequivocal symptoms of improvement con tinually present themselves to the view, and when there exists a very general and increasing spirit and desire for the prosecution of improvements from which the most beneficial results may fairly be expected." 6. Because a facility of erecting new buildings on small farms, without taking any adequate security for the future and permanent appropriation of those buildings to those uses only which may be conducive to the real in terests of the tenant as well as of the landlord, and to tho improvement and good cultivation of the land, can hardly fail to promote the increase of a pauper popu lation, lowering the rate of wages, augmenting the price of food, adding ultimately to the competition ior leases, and thus aggravating incalculably many of the most serious 'evils incident to the condition of the Irish peasantry. 7. Because a provision to encoevage the levelling of existing fences is not only inapplicable to the greate^ part of Ireland, but, as being unaccompanied by clauses to provide for the erection of new fences oe a permanent or improved character, or indeed of any fences at ail, seems to us most irrational and absurd. 8. Because even if it is assumed that the principle of the Bill is as wise and just as, for the reasons stated, it appears to us indefensible and impolitic, it is manifest that the machinery provided in this Bill by the estab lishment of a single officer of the Government in Dublin, acting through Assistant Commissioners, nomi nated by himself, is wholly inadequate to the per formance of duties extending over the whole surface of a great country. 9. Because the enactment of an ill-considered measure, like the present, may raise serious obstacles in the way of a wiser system of legislative interference, to which we should feel disposed to give our most favourable consideration ; a system which, by affording guidance and instruction, where skill and science are required ; by facilitating the application of capital where capital is needed and is likely to be profitably applied ; by en couraging co-operation not only between landlord and tenant, - but between parties interested in adjacent -estates; by securing to the tenant the strict and accurate performance of all covenants entered into with him, and a full return for all improvements which he has effected with the landlord's approval ; by securing to the landlord the maintenance of all improvements to which he may be called on to contribute, shall increase the amount of agricultural produce, shall augment the national wealth, shall stimulate and render more per manent the demand for labour, and thus, without the violation of any principle, shall facilitate the discharge of the duties, whilst maintaining the rights of property, and shall thus improve the condition of all classes of her Majesty's Irish subjects.

RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 7.—The Imperial ukase relative to the dress of the Jews is stated in an account from the Russian frontiers to have already produced some deplorable effects. These were, indeed, not intended by the Emperor, but were almost the inevitable consequence of a measure which so tud. denly and violently interferes with the most cherished habits of a people. In Bordiezew, a considerable commercial town in Nolhynia, where, as in many towns of southern Russia, the Jews form the majority of the inhabitants, some young Jews appeared in the synagogue without long locks of hair; the Chassidim, a most fanatical religious sect, prevailing chiefly in. Russia and Poland, re. ambling in some respects the Shakers of North America, incensed at this violation of a sacred custom, fell furiously on the blasphe. mous, as they called them, threatening to tear them to pieces. All their representations, that they had only obeyed the commands of the Emperor, were unavailing. Th e Chassidim exclaimed that the Emperor could not command them in a religious manner; that he might be the god of the JAWallilla (a) the Jews call the Russians, as properly the Greeks), but he was not theirs that they should lather suffer themselves to be stayed alive than to submit to such wicked or ders. A dreadful tumult occurred, and two of the young men are said to have expired under the ill treatment of the Chassidim. A strict investigation is set on foot by the Governor, and we are as sured that fifteen of the Chassidim have already been sent to Sibe ria. What has grieved these unhappy fanatics worse than all the rest is, that before setting out on their melancholy journey, they had to change their national dress for that usually wo rn by the exiles to Siberia, and that their heads were shaved, their long ocks being, of course, the first sacrifice. 45 ROYAL POI.."FECTINT( 1,\:6 UTiON. A lecture was delived here yesterday by Dr. Ryan on " Steam-boiler explosions, especially those arising from incrustations." The Doctor gave it as his opinion, and he fortiti, d that Pini by exp:ritnents, find ',her citations of hlcli aot:!iir tv, that by far he :!..ei.tcr hum b,r of ex/do,i,m., a'ise from incru,iations of OF- , belt-r, vvhii h incru,tations preve - ,t the boiler trona a'-ling .•flieterily as v c. - inAuetor of the heat of the fire to the water. Almost all water, w heiber it be spring water. or . s. awater, 'tools a qu.eitity to bicarbonate of lime in si lnti:.if. ht at necessary te produce steam drives elf our , portion of the c trbonie acid ("as of this nioarbonaie and reduces it to t h e s t a t e of carbonate ' of lime, an insoltdd- compound which is precipitated against the side- of the hour formiog an incrustation. which inernstiitien becomes a nucleus, a7outid which other salts crystothse, which other sal:s would not, however, become crystallised w..re it not fur the pr, sense of this nucleus. It folows, there:cre, that it the deposi tion of carbonate of lime cold bap c4ented there would be no i:Trustration, and by preventing incrustation not only are the chances of explosion greatly diminifled, but there is a great saving in fuel, as no heat is wasted in passing through the crust, and a great saving of time as the process of blowing off is rendered unnecessary.' Ritterbrandt, a German physician, residing in Soho square, has discovered a cheap, easy, and safe method of entirely preventing the incrustation of steam-boilers, and he has recently patented his discovery, which is certainly one of the most important of modern times. It consists in impregnating thewater used in steam boilers with Chloride Ammonium (the common rock Sal Ammonium) iif commerce, which prevents the formation of the insoluble carbonate of lime. It is impossible to go into the mioutioe of the decompositions which take place, but we may state that chloride of ammonium is composed of chlorine ammonia and hydrogen and car bonate of lime, of carbonic acid gas, calcium (the metallic basis of lime), and oxygen. The hydrogen of the chlo ride unites with the oxygen or the carbonate and form - water. The chlorine of the chi. rid unites with the calcium of the carbonate. and forais chloride of ealeiurn (the muriate of lime of the old chemists), a salt which is, perhaps, one of the mot soluble compounds known, and the carbon of the carbonate unites with th,-. ain- MOnia of chloriik, I reing carbonate of ammonia (common -mellii.g salt ), a compound so volatile that. it is driven ott iii the shape of vapour, and thus the in crustation of the steain boiler is entirely pre , ented. Great credit is due to Dr. Rya, for the plain and under standable manner iu , %hich he demon, macs this most important di-.covery to a mixed authence ; so admirably lucid were his explanations, that a person ignorant of even the first elements of chemical science could not fail to understand him. AQUATICS AT ETON. CONTEST FOR TIIE SILVER CCP AND SCULLS.—The grand sculling match for the silver cup, and possession of the silver sculls, which have just been presented to the College by W. P. Miles, E , q., of Cambridge, to be held as challenge sculls, took place on Friday evening last. The distance was from Winds ,r Eyatt round the rushes it:.d back to Windsor-bridge, about four miles. Seventeen boats started, being handicapped in four divisions— Sutherland, Ethelstone, Winter, Adlington, and Sadler being placed in the last. At starting all went away well together, and at Brocas clump fouling commenced with Dhelstone, Close, and Winter, M'Niven taking the lead to Hester's shed, when, hugging the short. too closely, he broke his scull, and was consequently thrown out alto gether. Greenwood being second, took up the lead, closely fol lowed by Foster and Sutherland. In this order they rounded Lower Hope, and on makit g Uppe Hope, Ethelstone passed Sutherland, and pressed Foster hard to the rushes, where he succeeded in passing him. Greenwood still maintained the lead, which he kept to the bridge, winning by about five boats' lengths, and was closely followed by the rest, who came up in the following order:—Ethelstone 2, Foster 3, Talfourd 4, B .gshot 5, Luxmore 6, Bunny 7, Sutherland 8, Mr. Hanbury 9, Richards 10; Evelyn, Winter, Ford, Sadkr, Close, and Kaye, were not placed. This has been the most spirited contest of the season, and much interest was excited as to who should obtain the first possession of the silver sculls . Mr. Miles, the gentleman who presented the sculls to the col. lege, was the winner of the Cambridge silver sculls last year. Henry F. Richardson, Esq., the newly appointed auditor of the City account., cAlsents to become a Vice- President of that admirable Institution, the Metropo litan Ben, fit Societies Asylum, in which Alderman Copeland and Lord 11, , ,bert Grosvenor are so warmly interested, and he likewise promises to attend the next festival, and render pecuniary assistance. The session of Parliament may now, we take it, he looked upon as rapidly drawing to a close. What is called the " Massacre of the Innocents," that is, the abandonment of all Mi. nisterial measures not advanced to a certain stage, commenced on Monday evening, when the Law of Settlement Bill and two others affecting the municipal reform and the registra tion of voters in Ireland were withdrawn, for the present, by Sir James Graham. This sudden change of intention is ascribed, in London, to a wish, on the part of the Ministers, to escape from the obloquy which Lord Stanley, in all the doings of his depart. ment, is bringing upon them. It is whispered that he will be al lowed to refire before Parliament again meets, that his colleagues may be rescued from a gentleman who has such a happy kn a ck o f " oversetting the coach."—Liverpool Albion. GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS.— Yesterday the foot race between Openshaw (of Bury) and Cook (the •reenwich cowboy), two well known runners, came off at the Rose. mary Branch grounds, at Peckham. The distance contested was ten miles, and the affair attracted a large assemblage of persons. In betting Openshaw was the favourite. The ground was measured and other preliminaries arranged, when the start was effected; both men rattled away at a quick pace, and covered the first mile in five minutes, ten seconds. They continued at their match and per formed the fourth mile in twenty-two minutes and ten seconds, Cook being at a lead of forty yard, sod half the• distance was accomplished by Cook in thirty minutes and fifteen seconds, and in 120 yards advance; at the seventh mile Cook appeared to relax his speed, anti Openshaw made ground. Both men appeared distressed at the eighth mile, but exerted every effort for the goal, and at the turn of the ninth mile Cook was at a good lead, and obviously had winning certain. His opponent struggled, but without avail, and Cook ran in an easy winner, amidst the cheers of his friends. The ten miles of ground was run over by the winner its 68 minutes, 35 seconds. Money was circulated freely, and a large amount was transferred on this occasion. tmotith is likely to rel, , em its-lf from the dis grace of the last contest. Mr. Moffatt is secure. The Tories have one Captain Pidding helping them indirectly; and one Mr. Princeps, standing forward as a Tory candidate. Mr. Moffatt will beat them both. ABINGDON.—The new Attorney-General, notwith standing the haste in which, last night, a new writ was moved for Abingdon, will not walk over the course unopposed. General Caulfield will be the Liberal candidate, and will contest the seat as an old Whig, opposed to all new religious endowments. The constituency numbers about 330 electors, of whom the Reformers count two- fifths in their interest, a fourth of the const,triency being untested and doubtful. Sir F Thesiger has been hitherto unopposed; but it is doubtful whether the majority can be polled in approval of the recent Irish policy of the Government. The Dissenters are strong in the borough, and Lime of the former par tisans of the Attorney-General, it is said, are resolved to remain neutral.—Chronicle. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPLNY.—On Saturday the Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company gave a grand banquet, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, to celebrate the opening of the direct line of monthly steam communication by means of the Com. pany's slips between this country and China. A special invita tion was appropriately sent to Sir Henry Pottinger, and u:rwards of 100 guests assembled to meet the distinguished gentleman and to testify their interest in the success of this truly great and na. tienal undertaking.

EDMUND'S, SATUR DAV.—The writ for the election of a Member for the western divi sion of this county, in the room of the late Col. Rushbrooke, came down yesterday, and the High Sheriff has appointed the 6th of July for the nomination of candidates. Should there be a contest (of which there seems to be little doubt), the election will corn. mence on Thursday, the 10th, the Reform Act giving an interval of two clear days in county elections, and the poll, if persisted in, must be kept open until four o'clock on Friday evening. In that case the official declaration would not be made till the Monday following. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.-011 Sun:lay after noon, as Colonel Angerstein, of the Guards, accompanied by his father, John Angerstein, Esq., of the Woodlands, Blackheath, were riding on horseback towards the river, they observed the figure of a human being in a state of nudity ..behind a hedge in a field be. longing to the latter gentleman. They proceeded down a lane and opened a gate, when to their great surprise they discovered a wretched female with only a small piece of ragged garment covering her shoulders. The Gal'ant Colonel threw half-a-crown to the unhappy creature, and immediately proceeded to the Greener 'li Unicn Workhouse, and gave information to the master, by whom they were informed that it was not the province of the parishes to interfere; the police should take the party into custody, and then the magistrate would deal with the case formally. They then Informed the policeman on duty, and he, after seeing the object of iniuiry, applied to the union houe for some kind of apparel before he could legally remove her. Having procured at the workhouse a worn-out covering and bonnet, he returned. to the field, causal her to dress herself as best she could, and then marched her oft to station-house, and gave her ih charge of t ,e inspector en duly. Toe poor woman, who said she was about forty years of age, was brought before Mr. Grove yesterday, at the Greenuic'i Police-court, when she stated, in answer to the muistr..te, that being destitute she wandered about the fields for the last two days and nights. Her clothing was worn to rags, and dropped off bit by bit, until she had been seen in the state described. She said that she belonged to the Hemel Hempsted union and had been some time in that work house, until the overseer (Ir. Smith), of Kings Langley, Herts, had ordered her to be turned out. The reason as signed for so doing was that she had no chilmen, and ought to seek her own living. She is a married woman, and went away after her husband, thinking that she might find him out. She had been a long time wandering about without success, and having a great antipathy to beg she had refrained from so doing. She had been a nay or two in Mr. Angerstein's park. Mr. Grove said an indictment could be prefer' ed against the officer who had caused ter to be turned out of the union-house. He then gave orders to the police to take her to the Greenwich union, with a statement of facts, and be doubted not that the guardians would take the no ceszary and legal steps to pass her to her parish. A very wealthy merchant of Fen , hurch-street, la menting to a very confidential friend that his daughter had elopsed with one of his footmen, concluded by saying yet, I wish to for. give the girl and receive her husband, as it is now too late to part them. But then, his condition ; how can I introduce him ? Nonsense, replied his companion, introduce him as a Liveryman of the City...Jou Miller Me Younger. CORK TI-1 EA 'FRE. MADAME CELESTE AND MR. WEBSTER. The interest created by the superior acting of the Celeste, and that most excellent comedian, Mr. Webster, nightly increases. By the way in which Webster sustained the arduous character of the Baron Ravenburgh, in the Woman Hater, and the scapegrace Phillipot, in the Trumpeter's Daughter, in the early part of the week, he, with whose talent as a manager of the most popular London theatres we have been long familiar, proved himself to be at successful and popular before, e.s behind the curtain. Last evening, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there was a large attendance, and a fashionable audience to witness the production of The Mysterious Stranger, taken from the French piece Satan ea Le Diable a Parrs. The character of the Mysterious Stranger, who, until the denouement, is sup posed to be the " Prince of Darkness," was sustained by Celeste in a style which drew from every part of the house the most enthusiastic plaudits. The admirable manner iii which she supported the various parts she had to assume in her efforts to save the Count de Beausoliel from the danger which surrounded him. and the successful stratagems which she employed for the purpose of exposing to him the hollowness of his friends, anti the infidelity of his mistress—particularly the scene with Mademoiselle de Nan tale in the house of Beausoliel, where she persuades De Nantelle, that the reported arrest of Beausoltel's banker was unfounded, and induces the inconstant fair one to take a new and more wealthy lover, was performed in a manner which could hardly be equalled by any other actress at present on the stage. Webster, in the character of Crequet, the servant of Bean soliel, contributed greatly to the success of the piece. The struggle between his fears of the Mysterious Stranger when en tering into the contract, and the anxiety he evinces to possess his little Madeline, twelve thousand francs a year, the cow and the pig, were most naturally and effectively represented by him, the house being throughout the scene convulsed with laughter by his ludicrous and lugubrious appearance. On the fall of the curtain Celeste and Webster were loudly called for, and on their appearance were saluted in the most complimentary manner. A new petite comedy followed, entitled Susanna, or Marriage ass/ Minuets. The expressive and gracefal pantomime of Celeste as the Dumb Girl its the early part of the peice, the easy and dignified man. ner in which she glided through the Minuet de la Cour with Webster, and the intense mental affliction betrayed by her acting in the scene which led to the restoration of her speech, could only be given in the style that they were by Celeste. Mr. Webster as Brinsley Burnby, a fop of the time of Louis Le Grand, was as unbending in his car riage and self-conceited as any exquisite of that period could well be. Although we cannot say of him as well as of Celeste that " Grace was in all his steps," his dancing in the minuet and the Polka would do credit to many who are high in that department. The other members of the company sustained their parts respectably, and the Mysterious Stranger was again announced for represents. tion this evening amid much applause.--Cork Southern Reporter.

It had at that period reached the top of the quay, and after remaining so I,r a short time, began to ta.l, and continued descending until it reached the very foundation of the wall. The larger vessels being firmly moored escaped injury, Lut a number of boats were forced away, and gime t.f them stove in. A violent storm arose imme diately atter, and a heavy fall of rain, accompanied with loud claps of thunder, took place about five in the morning.

FATHER UoNIAILTTED FOR THE MANSLAUGHTES or itis Sox.—On Monday, Mr. Wakley, M,P., resumed an ad• journed inquest at the Royal Free Hospital, on the body of George Chalk, aged 13. The deceased, his father, and grandfather, were engaged in the brickfields of Mr. Bassett, Camden-town, and on the 6th instant decea ed's father was displeased with him for not having done some work which he desired him to perform. The father, enraged at being disobeyed by his son, knocked him down► ki 'lced him in the side, and then jumped on him. Mr. Mullons, who was in the tirst instance called upon to attend him, and Mr. Cook, house-surgeon of the Free Hospital, who ultimately had care of him, deposed that the deceased informed them that he had been ill-treated as stated, and that they found that he was suffering from a violent inflammation in the lower part of his abdomen, caused DI external violence, which terminated fatally on the 22d instant. Upon a post mortals examination an extensive abscess was found on the right side, between the liver and diaphragm, and from the latter a perforation into his lungs ensued which caused death.

Carter, relative to the recent steamboat collision off that place, by which Mr. Joseph Cooper, a tine young man, and member of the Nautilus Club, lost his life. From the evidence, which was of a very con flicting nature, as many as fourteen or fifteen witnesses being ex amined, it appeared that on Monday last, about half-past six o'clock in the evening, the Matrimony iron steam-boat was pro ceeding towards Chelsea, on the Surrey side of the river, near the Red House, when in making for the new pier, off the British Flat Tavern, a light wager.boat, containing the deceased and another gentleman belonging to the same club, shot out from the shores apparently for the purpose of clearing the pier before the steamer came up, The captain had noticed the boat previously, but lost sight of it for a few minutes behind a dredging machine, when it again shot out right in the way of the steamer. The engines were promptly stopped, and the wheels reversed, and everything adopted in order to check her progress, but unfortunately she came in fearful collision with the boat. The friend of the deceased perceiving the danger, jumped overboard, and was saved by some watermen ; but the deceased, who had got up in the beat appa rently with the intention of warding off the blow, went down with the craft, which was shivered to pieces by the force of the collision. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The anniver- Ihry festival of this Society was held on Monday at the London Tavern. Mr. B.
