Tha principal business in the House of Lords was the second reading of the Earl of Powis's Bill, to repeal so much of the Act of 1836 as provided for the ultimate union of the Sees of Bangor and St. Asa.ph under one Bishop. The Duke of WELLINGTON opposed the Bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY supported the Government, as did the Bishop of LONDON. The Bishop of Balloon and the Bishop of ST. DA.. rth's defended the Bill, which was also supported by the Bishop of EXETER. On a division the second reading of the:Noble Earl's Bill was carried by a majority of 12, the numbers being 49 against 37 ; the Government were thus in a minority, The House of Commons met at the usual hour. The second reading of the Irish Registration Bill Was fixed for the Ist of July. Mr. BORTIIWICK then made his promised motion for a Select Committee into the operation of the Anatomy Act. A short discussion ensued, and the Hon. Member's potion was rejected by a majority of 39. Mr. WARD then brought forward the . motion of which he had given notice, respecting the state of the Established Church in Ireland. lie made an able speech, recapitulating the arguments that have fre quently been advanced against the anomalies presented by the state of that Church. Lord ELIOT followed Mr. WARD, opposing the motion. The rest of the evening was occupied by speeches from Mr. SIIAW and Mr. REDINGTON, when the debate, on, the motion of Colonel RAwDoN, was adjourned, The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twenty Minutes after Twelve o'clock. ......- --- t:ly i _.

The f0110w ?..... , -- ... 1 • ' 0 ,,,' ' ;-=.l 4 ' , -. : ! r `, .i ing passage produced a decided effect on the House— and no wonder, for it is an apt and cogent comment on the zeal and efficiency of some of the Protestant Church dignitaries, whom Irishmen are told to re gard with the reverence due to their sacerdotal func tions :—" lie had a placard sent him the other day,'' observed the Hon. Member for Sheffield, " the genuineness of which could not be doubted. It was the announcement of a sale of the property of the late Archdeacon of Meath, and among the effects he found forty thorough-bred horses and mares, from three to seven years old, and also their justly cele brated and well-known sires, Sir Edward and Sir Hugh. All these were the genuine effects of the Venerable Archdeacon of Meath. Besides the thorough-bred horses, there were thirteen capital working horses, and five Spanish donkeys, three of them in foal. Besides all these, he had the an nouncemement of a sale of dogs in Dublin. There were thirty couples of beagles, the handsomest, and of the best blood in Ireland ; and there were thirteen pairs of greyhounds, well known in Meath." All these— dogs, horses, and donkeys—were the property of the apostolical Archdeacon of Meath—a distinguished member of that Irish Ecclesiastical Establishment, which Sir R. INGLIS deems it the worst sacrilege to think of reforming, and which those two other bright Baronets, Sir J. GRAHAM and Sir R. PEEL, are proud to take under the shelter . of their wings ! And while the Irish Protestant dignitaries, with little or no active duty to fulfil, thus revel in luxury, what is the situa tion of the Catholic priesthood ? They are scantily paid, hard-worked, and constantly sneered at as bigots and ignoramuses by the:rival Churchmen ! Can we wonder that Ireland is never otherwise than in a state of exacerbation,!when she finds a broad line of distinc tion thus marked between the two antagonist esta blishments—the one lavishly paid for doing little or nothing—a task which it accomplishes with singular diligence—having few or no feelings in common with the vast mass of the population over whom it pre sumes to exercise authority, yet nevertheless protected by Government, as though the value of its public services were inestimable; the other poorly remune rated for incessant labour; in full possession of the confidence and affections of the majority of the Irish people, acting as their guide, guardian, and friend in all cases of emergency; yet notwithstanding this, treated with frigid neglect by Government, and with downright insult by their Tory adherents ? Can we wonder, we repeat, that Ireland is exasperated, when she sees the galling and invidious distinction made between the Church which she distrusts and dislikes, and that which she loves and cherishes ? In England the Protestant Establishment rests its chief claims to the support, and attachment and sympathy of the people, on the fact—which it is never weary of repeating—that it is the Church of the poor. In Ireland, it: claims the support of the authorities on no other pretext that we can perceive, than that it is the Church of the rich—the Church of the few—the Church whose principal duty is to do nothing—a duty which we must honestly acknow ledge, it discharges with exemplary assiduity. Will the time never arrive when this colossal nuisance will be abated—when this ulcer eating its way to the vitals of Ireland will be cut out—when this proud, haughty badge of three hundred years of na tional servitude will be destroyed, or at any rate be compelled to lower the tone of its pretensions, to do more work with less pay, and be rendered available, where it is now nearly, if not quite, useless ? Un doubtedly the time will arrive when this desirable consummation will be effected ; though some years, we fear, must elapse, ere the Irish Protestant Esta blishment—which has been the direct cause of so many wholesale tithe massacres—shall cease to be the one prominent grievance of the Irish people. It might appear, at first sight, to those who had not previously examined and considered the matter with all due care, that " it must be safer for a public man, who is not very certain of his grounds, to state a case hypothetically, than positively." It would seem matter of course that, if he have a measure to propose upon premises which, at the moment, he cannot ve rify, it must be better for him to state them as condi tions necessary to be granted, than to propound them for facts already admitted and incapable of disproof. But we are satisfied by the authority and example of Sir R. Pam, that there may be many " untoward" conditions of circumstances under which it shall be more expedient for a Minister, in defiance of defective information, and despite of his own grave doubts, to proceed upon these uncertain elements as if they were absolute principles, in which he may venture to solicit the concurrence of the Legislature with the views he has founded upon them. If he assume antecedents to have actually happened, which he knows to be indis pensable to the establishment of those views, the chances are, that one-half of his hearers will believe, implicitly, that which he has so assumed ; and that of the other half who may dissent from, or dispute the facts which are involved in such antecedents, but a very few will be at the trouble to follow out the proof of their fallacy; and that even as to these, there is al ways the apologetic plea to be addressed (a plea which the custom of Parliament is sure to admit to a plau sible Premier)—" that he has been mistaken as to ' some facts ; or inaccurately instructed as to a few details,' but that the House will feel with him these cannot affect the general results he has arrived at." It was, for example, a much more convenient course for Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his speech of the 6th of May, to declare the Order in Council of Mr. PITT, in 1797, "a fatal blunder," than to set about the dan gerous task of showing why it had been so. In this undertaking he would have made shipwreck of that very unseaworthy craft in which he has embarked upon a sort of privateering cruise, under false colours, against those legitimate interests which the genius of PITT at once understood, developed, and protected. In like manner, when Sir Ronnar asked (almost emu lating the sardonic gravity of him who demanded " What is truth ?") " What is a pound ? " he answered his own question by some so unhesitating propositions, that they were well calculated to delude the majority of his hearers into a notion that they must be facts because they were positive averments. The Author of " A. Letter to the Premier," [the second and enlarged edition of which is now before us,] demolishes, as we showed in a previous article, the whole hypothesis upon which those propositions were fixed, and abso lutely disproved the statistics that the Premier brought up to their support. Thus the definitions of " a certain, definite quantity of the precious metals," "a quantity invariable as well as definite," were as effectually routed as the imaginary " identity of the value of our pound In coin," with that " unalterable," or "standard value," which it possessed in the last two years of the reign of ELIZABETH. Sir ROBERT'S his torical "memoranda," of themselves, extinguished the "certainty," or "definitiveness," of the quan tity of precious metals of our pound at various periods of the monarchy. The " In quirer after Truth " conclusively proved that since the reign of ELIZABETH our unalterable pound sterling had undergone four several alterations : to wit, in 1604, 1625, 1675, and 1815 ; that Sir ROBERT has confounded the ideas of " standard," and " measure " of value, by treating the terms as con vertible ones, and applying equally to quality as to quantity—that moreover the relations of silver and gold, instead of being properties capable of arbitrary equation, or given conditions determinable by the caprice of a Minister, " are altered by circumstances over which our rulers have no control." In this last line a great political as won as financial truth is inculcated, which is, we suspect, much more profound than any " dreamed of " in Sir ROBEIIT'S currency " philosophy." It is indeed evident that whilst he imagines himself to be putting an issue be tween himself and his opponents on some assumption so extravagant that it could determine only in a re ductio ad absurdum, that very issue which he can re gard only as a theoretical abstraction, has occurred ! and that facts, of which he appears profoundly igno rant, have practically demonstrated his supposed impossible absurdity. Let us cite from p. 22 of the " Letter to the Premier," an instance strictly con firming our view of this matter :—" What then," asked Sir ROBERT, on the 6th of May, alluding to the I3ir- rningham strictures on his currency measures"-- " What, then, is the meaning of now asking that the Bank should issue gold at the rate of .51. an ounce ? . Depend upon it, that if you attempt to say, that one ounce of gold shall not represent 31. 17s. 6d. in silver, but Z.l.—silver and gold Will be more powerful than your legislation, and you will find it utterly impossible to alter the relative value of silver and gold.' you think, Sir, that you have got y( ur antagonists on the hip, but you are mistaken : you will be thrown yourself. The truth is, that the ounce of gold did, at a certain period of the late war, represent 5/. in silver, and this without any alteration of the relative value of the two metals. The silver coin was diminished to keep proportion with the gold by the issue of bank tokens ; so that, when an ounce of gold was worth 51. the silver which was pre viously coined into 3/. 17s. 100 was coinei into 5/. The Spanish dollar, fcr instance, which was previously reck oned to be worth 4s. 2d., was stamped anew by the Bank and made to pass for ss. You hare evidently misunder stood the question at issue, as well as misapprehended the facts of the case. It does not concern the relation of the two principal metals to each other in respect to quantity, but their joint and equal relation in that re spect to the denominations of our coins. If gold is re duced, silver is equally reduced, and so is also copper." But we hope to find room to-morrow for a careful notice of the second and much improved edition of a pamphlet which will certainly rank hereafter as a text book with all those who desired to understand the operation of Sir Rounitz PEEL'S most ill-advised measurei for the permanent disorganization and ulti mate ruin of our monetary system.

The selection of pieces is excellent, and they cannot fail to be ad mirably performed when such a galaxy of talent as the following is to shine forth on the occasion : Signors Lablache, F.

At the end of the first part Mr. Benedict, Dr. Mendelssohn, and Madame Dulcken, will perform a piece arranged for thr ee p er f ormers on t wo p i anos , entitled " Nocturne and Valse Brillante." It is not too much to say that such an assemblage of splendid singers and performers has rarely ever appeared to gether before the public. MONE WAND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

CAPPS LECTURES ON THE CURRENCY.— Yesterday, in conformity with a notice duly adver tised in the papers, Mr. Capps, delivered at the British Coffee House, a lecture on Sir Robert Peel's Cur rency Plans ; showing their inevitable prejudicial tendency and effects. Several Members of Parlia ment were present, and a numerous auditory of other gentlemen—all of whom listened to Mr. Capps with lively satisfaction. At the close of his very able lec ture—opportunity being given for objection and in quiry—the answers and explanations of the lecturer were so clear and lucid, that not one word of dissatis faction with either was expressed. On the contrary, every difficulty or doubt propounded was instantly solved. The Hon. Member for Tynemouth having then risen to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Capps, (which was unanimously carried), urged that gen tleman to repeat his lecture on Thursday next ; and was seconded in this request by George Stephen, Esq. The lecturer having consented to repeat the lecture, accordingly, on Thursday next, several gentlemen expressed their gratification at the oppor tunity which would be thus afforded them, of bring ing down their Parliamentary and other influential friends, to hear his admirable exposition, and simple treatment of this important subject. Madrid journals to the 4th announce that the Go vernment had resolved to annul the tobacco contract, and that a decree to that effect had been sent off to Barcelona for the QUREN'S signature. A report was prevalent, that CARRASCO and GONZALES BRAVO would return to the Cabinet, and replace Dior and PIDAL. This is not very probable, but indeed it is a matter of perfect indifference. Spanish statesmen are now byewords among the nations of Europe. The Herald() gives an account of another outrage com mitted by the Moors on Spanish subjects. It is thus described in a letter from Santiago, May 31 :—" A Spanish merchant-vessel was seen a day or two since off Muros, driving at the mercy of the wind and waves. On the officer of the port boarding her to ascertain her condition, he found the whole of the crew lying on the deck murdered. It was evident from their appearance that they had made a desperate resistance. No papers were found on board, and she had evidently been pillaged by some pirate." The Three per Cents. were done at 27f for cash, and at 273; and the Fire per Cents. at 20 for the 6th of July. THIS DAY'S NEWS EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY (Sittings in Banco.) FRANKLIN V. NEATE. This was an action tried on Monday last in the Exchequer Chamber, on which occasion a Verdict had been returned for the plaintiff on the first issue, with 191. is. 6d. damages; and in favour of the defendant on the second issue, with liberty to plaintiff to mention it to the Court above. A per son of the name of Gilbert, belonging to the commercial marine, in the month of October, 1840, pledged a chrono meter with the defendant Neate, a pawnbroker, residing in Duke-street, Manchester- square, for the sum of fifteen pounds. The chrono me t er remained there some months, when the owner of it (Gilbert) sold the ticket to the plaintiff(Frank lin) for the suns of five pounds, and went off to sea. Plaintiff went to tiefendant's shop, before the expiration of twelve months from the time of pawning the chronometer, and ten dering principal and interest claimed it should be delivered up to him. This was refused, as were several subsequent applica tions for the property, and ultimately the present action was brought with the result above stated. Mr. liumfrey now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict on the second issue should not be set aside and entered as for the plaintiff. The Court granted the application. Several of the Paris papers have long articles on the grand fete given by the KING on Saturday even ing at Versailles, in honour of French industry. The Journal des Debuts devote four columns to the sub ject, and pays a high compliment to the Sovereign for collecting together the principal nobility, the Members of the two Chambers, the Ministers of the Crown, and the industrious classes, not out of vain show and pomp, like some of the grand displays of Louis XV. and his successors, but chiefly to encourage arts and manufactures, and to show that the CITIZEN KING has not forgotten the interests of those with whom he often mixed when a subject of the Crown. The Presse a Court paper, thus adverts to some circum stances attending this fete:—" The spectacle finished so late that we scarcely had time enough to mention the most characteristic feature of the fete, which, had it taken place a century ago, would have been quite an event in the whole world ! Just fancy an artisan au daciously challenging Lours XV. to admit him to a fete at Versailles, not in a jacket, not in the plain costume of his craft, but actually in rags ! This audacious challenge was yesterday accepted, without any hesitation. The KING was not stopped by the spirit of opposition and democra tical vanity betrayed by tattered clothes such as the labourious workman wears no longer now-a days— no, the KING saw, and would see, but the merit of the ingenious inventor, recorded by the medal he had obtained, and that a mechanic, who would not have been suffered to enter, even had he paid for any place of popular amusement, where decent garments are required, was without any difficulty permitted to move about the sumptuous drawing-rooms, in the magnificent galleries of Versailles palace, and to sit in the theatre, still resplendent with the recollections of Lotus XIV. The miller of Sans Souci is out done by the mechanic of Versailles. That the respect for labour should be carried to the extreme limit we saw it extend yesterday is characteristic of our times, and truly deserving of being recorded. We doubt that the Radicals in power would prove of such easy access and etiquette." Some of the Opposition journals take a less favour able view of the entertainment, but some men cannot be pleased with any act, however praiseworthy, unless it be performed by one of their party. The fol lowing are the only other extracts from the papers of any interest : The committee on the Paris and Rennes Railroad met on Saturday to hear M. de Salvandy's report read. The committee has declared itself almost unanimously in favour of the Bill in its general hearing, and proposes to allow the necessary funds for the embankments between Versailles and Chartres. It recommends the adoption of the line from Ver sailles to Rennes, but reserves the question whether it ought to pass between Chartres and Laval by Alenoun or Mans. As to the question of joining this line to the two Paris and Versailles Railroads, the committee reserves its solution on this point. It is, however, of opinion that it would be equi table to join the Chartres line to them. " The now Governor-General of India, Sir Henry Hardinge, accompanied by the Right Hon. Baronet's son and his aide de-camp, landed at Dieppe at an early hour on Sunday morn ing, and left, at little more than an hour's delay, en route for Marseilles, taking Paris in their way. " A Royal ordonnance, of September 23, 1843, had autho rised the transit of cattle on the Belgian railroad with an exemption from all duty. Some cattle were, in consequence sent from Rolland to France through Belgium, but com plaints having been made by the Belgian breeders, this facility has been withdrawn by an ordonnance, dated June 7. "The Cologne Gazette assures us that the Papal Govern ment has addressed a note to the Cabinets of London, Vienna, and Paris, on the subject of the late disturbances in its terri tories. The note declares that there has been no real cause for political discontent, and that the dissatisfaction is chiefly to be ascribed to the machinations of anarchists in France arid England. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GUR.NEY). EXTRAORDINAR Y CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—A well dressed young man, named George Reginald Whitaker, sur rendered to take his trial, charged with feloniously forging and uttering a cheque for 1701., with intent to defraud Messrs. Sir W. Call, Martin, and Co., the bankers. Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. From the evidence it appeared that a young man named Thomas Brightman, being out of employment, advertised in one of the newspapers for a situation as porter, and in an swer to his advertisement he received a letter, appointing an interview at the Peacock public-house, Islington. He went to the place mentioned in the letter, at the time appointed, and he there saw a young man, who wore a pair of dark blue spectacles and a large cloak. The young man said he wanted the witness as a light porter, and he would give him IL per week wages at first, with an understanding that they should be increased after the witness had been in the situa tion a short time. Arrangements were then entered into for inquiries being made respecting witness's character; and, subsequently, another interview took place between the parties, and on that occasion the young man, whom the wit ness believed to be the prisoner, gave the witness a cheque, which was signed with the name of Princeps. The cheque was for 1701., and was drawn upon Call and Co. The witness was directed to bring seventy sovereigns and ten ten-pound notes, and the prisoner said he would wait for it at the King's Arms, Leadenhall street. When witness presented the cheque, it was discovered to be a forgery, and he was given into custody, but was libe rated upoa;his explaining under what circumstances he be came possessed of the cheque, and, meeting the prisoner shortly afterwards, in the street, he gave him into custody. The defendant expressed the greatest surprise when he was given into custody. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defence, and stated that the defendant was a highly respectable young man, having been, since 1833, in the service as an officer of the East India Company. The defence to the present charge was that the young man at the bar was not the person who had had the interviews with the witness Brightman. The man was evidently mistaken, as he (Mr. Clarkson) would be able distinctly to show by evidence. Several witnesses were then called to speak to the cha racter of Mr. Whitaker, one of whom was Mr. Maurice Power, son of the late eminent comedian. .... Mr. Whitaker's landlady, was called, and she dis tinctly proved that on the day in question he did not go out until after twelve o'clock in the day. Two other witnesses were also called, who distinctly proved this alibi, and The Learned JUDGE stopped the CaSQ, and directed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal, which they accordingly did. Mr. Baron GURNEY' then addressed Mr. Whitaker, and said, "You leave this Court, Mr. Whitaker, without the slightest spot on your character." Ilfr. Whitaker then left the Court with his friends.

He professed penitence, and she had agreed to return to his house again, and he was to have come to her lodgings at nine o'clock last evening, for the purpose of removing her boxes. She waited, but he did not arrive till twelve, and then he swore that she had been out that evening, with some men, and caught up the poker and aimed a blow at her head. She fortunately got hold of it and saved herself from the blow. He then threw her on the bed and struck her several times over the head with his fist. He also caught her by the throat, but her screams of murder caused some persons to enter the room, and she escaped into a neighbour's house. On the previous Friday the prisoner had called at the place where she worked, and presented a pistol at her person. She did not know whether it was loaded or not. The complainant's statement was corroborated by other witnesses. Mr. ItawmitsoN—What do you mean by this conduct to your wife, Sir? Prisoner—l am told that she is an infamous woman, and she has been intoxicated several times. Mr. Itawix.rsoN—That's no reason you should murder her. You are fined 20s. for the assault upon her, and you must find two housekeepers to become bail, in 101. each, that you will keep the peace for the remainder of the year. After the charges in the sheet had been disposed of, a poor deranged creature, was brought in. He had been observed by a young lad immersed to the chin in a stagnant ditch, at the back of Primrose-hill. With the assistance of several persons the poor creature was got out, and given into charge of the police. When introduced to the presence of the Ma gistrate, he exhibited a very great degree of violence, by throwing himself upon the floor, tearing the lining from his hat, and thrusting it into his mouth. lie attempted several times to bite his hands and arm, and it required the most strenuous efforts of two strong men to prevent his injuring himself. The Magistrate directed that he should be taken in a cab to the workhouse of St. George, Hampstead, the parish in which he was first discovered.

The meeting was at intervals of a most uproarious character, owing to the interruption of a large body of teeto tallers, who congregated in great numbers in the hall. The Noble Chairman opened the proceedings in a brief address. The Rev. Owen Clarke, the secretary, read letters from Lord Ashley the Bishop of London, the Dean of Salisbury, the Hon. \V. Cowger, Sir Edward Parry, and others, expressive of the interest they felt in the Society's operations. The report gave a detailed statement of the proceedings of the Society. The Bishop of Norwich briefly moved the adoption of the report. He said he was always happy to support the cause of temperance, and regretted that he had not been able to attend the meeting of the teetotallers lately held at Exeter Hall, the motto of whose society was, " Touch not—taste not—handle not."—(Loud cheers from the teetotallers.) The motto of the British and Foreign Temperance Society was, " Let us so use the things of the world as not to abuse them." —(Cheers and hisses.) He did not agree with the sentiment of the teetotallers ; he was for temperate exercise in all things. The Rev. David Buell seconded the motion, and at this stage of the proceedings the teetotallers urged one of their repre sentatives, a man named Miller, to get on the platform. Miller did so, and endeavoured to address the meeting, but WAS received with mingled cheers and hisses. Great wrang ling ensued, with much noise and clamour, which the Noble Chairman endeavoured, but ineffectually, to quell. The Bishop of Norwich advanced, and vehemently addressing Miller, said—Sir, lam a Christian man, and stand among Christian people; I appeal to you, Sir (with your hand upon your heart, and unknown tome and the meeting as you are), to say whether your inti usion here is dictated by that Chris tian feeling and that principle of conciliation which ought to be the characteristic of this great cause.—(Cheers and uproar, during which Miller retreated several paces on the platform, followed by the Right Reverend Prelate, who continued.) Is it, Sir, your intention to cast a firebrand into this meeting?-- (Renewed confusion ensued.) The Noble Chairman, after several ineffectual attempts to restore order, also enforced by Boatswain Smith, declared the proceedings adjourned, when the lights were extinguished, and the disturbers made their ; retreat.

AIMS WIZMILICI6OII7B. The amount of contributions to the repeal fund during the last week amounted to 3,2001., and from all accounts it will go on increasing for some time. A numerous party of the subscribers to the Royal Free Hospital dined together at the London Tavern yesterday evening in commemoration of its 16th anniversary. The chair was occupied by Lord Ashley, M.P. The usual collec tion was made in the room, and the sum of about 1,1701. raised, including a donation of 1001. from the Bank of Eng land, a similar sum from the Hon. East India Company, 521 10s. from Dr. Marsden, the founder (being that gentle man's third donation), 40/. from Miss Harley, & c . Last night the Merchant Tailors' Company gave their annual banquet in the Hall, in Threadneedle -street, on the occasion of the election of scholars to St. John's College, Ox ford. The Master of the Company, Mr. C. M. Hullah, was in the chair, supported on the right by the Rev. Dr. Wy n t er , President of St. J o h n ' s , and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, the Senior Fellows of St. John's, the Lord Mayor, the Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Viscount Hereford, Viscount Mahon, Hon Wm. Ashley, and Sir George Murray, and on the left by the Vice-Chancellor of England, Sir L. Shadwell, the Mar 'quis of Salisbury, the Marquis of Londonderry, and the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. The brilliancy of the meeting was somewhat diminished in consequence of the absence of the Cabinet Ministers and other members of the Govern ment, who were prevented from attending by the business in both Houses of Parliament. THE STAR. COMPANY'S BOATS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. took a trip to Gravesend yesterday by an afternoon packet from London, landed at the town pier, and finding that the last packet would leave at eight o'clock, made up my mind to enjoy the country as long as possible, and return at that hour. The great reduction of fares to Gravesend has, of course, immensely increased the numbers resorting there, and more particularly on the holiday of the working classes. On reaching the pier at ten minutes to eight, to my regret, I found the:packet inconveniently crowded, and several people, like myself, fearful of venturing aboard. The Star packet, from the other pier, in a few minutes also passed up, filled to excess, and I, in company with many others, had the prospect of staying in Gravesend all night. To my de light, however, upon leaving the pier, I found a man in forming the people, that in order to prevent disappoint ment the Meteor would, immediately upon her coming down from Blackwell about nine, return at the usual fares. Comforted by this, I took a short stroll, and in pas sing down the High-street, about a quarter of an hour after wards, I saw the very person who had given the grateful information, being marched off to the police-station by three people in Pier uniforms and two others, followed by a con course of persons. Upon inquiry for the cause, I was much surprised to find that the crowd on the Town-pier after hear ing the announcement of a packet from the other pier, had hired a small tug, put her alongside, inveigled some people into her, demanded double the fares charged during the day, and because this man continued to inform the people of the Meteor's intended passage at the usual fares, and of the cer tainty of her being at Blackwell an hour before the tug, and saving the last train, without extra charge, seiz&l him with such violence as to tear his clothes, and locked him up. I know nothing of Gravesend laws ; but this does seem extraordinary. The man's information was most grateful to many people, who, but fur the very considerate Course adopted by the Star Company, must have experienced great inconvenience in purse or person. The mode of con veying the information, viz., by word of mouth, was the only one for the occasion, and it was, as the result fully and satisfactorily proved, correct to the letter. I, with nearly 400 persons, went by the Meteor, a little after nine; we passed the tug about Purfleet, though she started half an hour before us. We paid the usual fares, for which we were also conveyed upon the Blackwell railway to London. Now, Sir, this great extra accommodation afforded by the Star and Blackwell Railway Companies should be known, and must be appreciated; for, without it, many people must have en dured the annoyance of staying from their homes for the night, and thereby caused great uneasiness to their families, I am, sir, your obedient servant, Whitechapel, June 10. T. BRITTEN. We take this opportunity of correcting the error that appeared in our journal of last evening under the heading " London University," in reference to the pamphlet written by Dr. 13lamey. At a general meeting of the students Dr. Blarney was elected to write an address to the Professors, and also a poem to his fellow•students. The author recited the poem publicly in their presence on the 24th of May last, when it was unanimously resolved that it should be immediately published, which was done accordingly. These proceedings took place at the University College, not at the London Uni versity, as we mentioned last evening. The latter, which was the original name of t his College, has been since changed for the present. DuaL.—A duel was fought at Boulogne, on the morning of the 7th instant, between Captain Bulkely, at tended by Mr. William Hill, and Mr. Fitzgerald Higgins, attended by Mr. Finucane. Three shots were fired by each party without effect, after which they left the ground. The meeting was occasioned by Mr. Higgins having made some very offensive observations to the Captain at the Café du Pas sage the preceding evening. POREXGN. Sir Henry Hardinge, accompanied by his son and aide-de camp, arrived in Paris on Monday. The Chief Consistory of the Jews at Paris had addressed a letter to the Minister of Public Worship, expressing grati tude for the royal ordonnance published in the lloniteur of the 28th ult., regulating the mode of forming the Israelite Consistories in the different towns of France, and thus ex- tending to them an equal protection of the law. Among the signatures are those of two members of the Chamber of Deputies, M. Cremaieux and M. Cerfberr, and also that of M. Anspach, substitute to the Procureur du Roi. A letter of the 29th ult., from Oran, says :—" The corps commanded by the son, of Abderrahman may reckon from 15,000 to 20,000 men, cavalry and infantry, but there can be but very few regular troops among them ; so that 8,000 or 10 000 men, with General Lamoriciere at their head, will be more than sufficient to put them to the rout." A secret gambling-house, kept by a M. D—, at No. 104, Rue Richlieu, Paris, was suddenly invaded by the commissary of police and his followers, on Thursday evening. An as semblage of twenty-eight persons of both sexes were thrown into such consternation that several of the ladies escaped from the play-room, and, getting into the bed-chambers, endeavoured to conceal themselves, some under the bedclothes and behind the curtains, and some even under the bedsteads. They were all, however, to their no small shame, discovered and sent away; but the police-officers seized all the cards, counters, &c., and also M. D—, whom they delivered into the hands of justice. The clergy of Calais have been endeavouring, says the Constitutionnel, to prevail on the authorities of the town to interdict the repetition of the performance of Moliere's Tartufe, which has lately been represented at the Calais theatre, and drawn overflowing audiences. The storm which fell on Sunday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, vented its force with such rage upon the buildings of the Exhibition in the Champs Elysees, that the gutters and spouts were not only overflowed, but absolutely burst, and parts of the zinc covering of the roof were torn off, leaving free passage for torrents of rain to the stalls below. The Independance of Brussels, of Saturday, says, it is as sured that the negotiations which have been long pending between the Post-office departments of London and Brussels, for the establishment of a daily mail between Dover and Os tend, are nearly brought to a conclusion. We find the following in a letter from Athens, of the 21st ult :—" The Opposition are making great resistance to a Ministerial measure ordering securities in a large amount to be given by all the proprietors of newspapers. Several of the journals have ceased to appear; but the proprietors are making efforts to have the Ministers impeached, for throwing in the way of the public press obstacles which are not sanc tioned by law." The volume of water thrown up by the Artesian well, at Grenelle, has lately been again measured. It is found to flow with its original force and in undiminished quantity, the produce being 2,000,000 litres per hour (100 litres are equal to 22 gallons). The water is as clear and limpid as the fil trated river water. MAW AND POLICE. William George Hawkins, the master of the Rainbow steam-packet, plying between London and Hammersmith, appeared at the Mansion-house, to answer the complaint of Mr. Edward Bailey, son of Mr. Bailey, of Berners-street, Oxford-street, for having unlawfully, carelessly, and negli gently navigated the vessel on the Thames, so that it came in collision with a wherry in which the complainant, his two brothers, and other young gentlemen were, by reason of which they had nearly lost their lives. His Lordship said the case was one of atrocious neglect on the part of the per sons on board the steamer, and discharged the summons that Mr. Bailey might bring an action at law. ' A most respectably-dressed man, described on the charge sheet as Oliver Walsh, living at No. 7, Upper-marsh, Lam beth. was charged at Bow-street with having sent a letter to Sir Robert Peel containing language of a threatening nature. The officers of the detective force had received orders on the previous night to apprehend him, and they had that morn ing, at half-past seven o'clock, succeeded in capturing him at his lodgings as above, in the most quiet and peaceable manner. He said that he had been robbed of his property, and that the Irish Government and Sir R. Peel had refused him redress. His mind seemed to be affected; net being able to give bail for his good behaviour, he was sent to prison. George Guy, porter to the Horticultural Society, Regent street, was charged, at Marlborough -street, with having embezzled the sum of 61. 35., the property of the Society. He was committed for trial. John Riley, a notorious river thief, was charged, at Lam beth-street, with being concerned, with two other bargemen, named Drake and Pierse, in stealing 38 gallons of French brandy, of the value of 531., from a cask on board a lighter in the St. Katherine's Dock, on the morning of the 24th of April last. He was remanded. Lieutenant Archibald Campbell, R.N., appeared in naval uniform, at Thames-street, to answer a charge of using threatening and abusive language towards Mr. William Whayman, a general d ea l er, of N. 35, Jubilee-place, Com mercial-road, East. The defendant has frequently been charged at different offices with violent and reckless conduct, that can only proceed from insanity. On this occasion he had flung a ginger-beer bottl e with great violence at com plainant's head. Not being able to find bail he was sent to Clerkenwell prison. Edward Champness, a police-constable of the K division, was charged at the same office, under the Police Act, with having illegally withdrawn himself from the duties of his office without leave of the superintendent, or giving him a month's notice of his intention to do so in writing.—He was fined 155., the arrears of pay due to him. ettrb IZMittu A 0 1 HAM P FON R )) (THIS DAY—BY EXPO .
