This is the general report, and the report also states that the Ca binet was summoned to take into consideration the " untoward" division in the Commons on the Sugar Duties Bill. Shortly after the breaking up of the Cabi net, Sir ROBERT PEEL proceeded to the Palace, and we have heard walked all alone in a very pensive mood, looking neither right nor left, evidently ab sorbed in some matter of no ordinary importance. The same report states that he tendered his resigna• c on to her MAJESTY. This is possible ; and, what is more, it is a consummation that every friend of liberty would Wish to ewe realised. Sir R. PEEL is too liberal for his colleagues gYid the motley crew that installed him Prime Minister. With the ex ce pti on , perhaps, of Mr. GLADSTONE, he haw no free trader in the Cabinet—he has no friend of ihe l . aind — he has no man .n nclples of of sterling Liberal politics—and he hi: b ri to fight the b a ttl e a l on e to carry out the I,:ee obliged the Reform Bill, and to adopt the practice • of the ' Executive to a s y s t em which the old Tories -etest, and which the new race, called Conservatives, re e ., . 11 "! with almost equal horror.

He has endeavoured we admi b y stealth, .can 7 out the principles ' of his 4: 7 pre. decessors, but possibly he could not act otherwise. Fools must be treated according to their folly. We cordially hope that he will set them at defiance, and resign rather than submit to the shackles which the monopolists in corn and sugar, and almost every necessary of life, would impose upon him. His resignation would seal the fate of the Tory dynasty — a result which would be hailed by acclamation by almost every honest man in the country. The discussion upon Mr. MILES'S announced amendment upon the new scheme of Sugar Duties, brought forward by her MAJESTY'S Government, has been looked to with great anxiety by all parties—in and out of Parliament. It took place, accordingly, in a full House (of 466 Members) on Friday, and resulted in what must be considered a great defeat of Ministers. But it should be clearly understood (and the more so, as most of our Morning Contemporaries seam to have fallen into some error on this point), that the division of last night did not affirm Mr. Muss's amend ment. Upon that, a vote remains still to be taken ; for, as Lord HOWICIC carefully expounded the question for the information of Hon. Members, the question to be put by the Chairman (and so entered in the printed " Votes" delivered out this morning) was, " that the words proposed" (lay the amendment of Mr. Muss) " to be left out of the first clause" (of the Government Bill) " stand part of the clause." On this question there divided, Ayes, 221 ; Noes, 241, leaving the Government in a minority of 20. After the an nouncement of this division (which was greeted by the Opposition with much cheering), and when the House had resumed, Sir ROBERT PENT. gave notice that the first business of the House on Monday next should be to proceed further with the Committee, in which he would announce the intentions of her MAJESTY'S Geyvernment on this most important subject. The Government proposition, it will be remembered, was to reduce the duty on foreign sugar, not being the product of slave labour, to 345. per cwt. (The duty under 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 33, was 3/. 3s. per cwt.) The machinery of certificates, by which the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared to imagine that it would be possible to secure the fulfilment of this condition of free labour, which was made the prelimi nary of the admission of such foreign sugar, was much distrusted and even ridiculed in former debates. We have endeavoured to show, in former articles, that any sugars supplied under this reduction of duty by the United States, even assuming the genuine ness of their free labour production, would be assuredly replaced either in the home consump tion or the export trade of America by slave grown sugar to the same extent. It will be per ceived that this impression is now generally enter tained. But Mr. MlLEs's amendment prooceds not so much on the principle of effectually discouraging slave labour in the production of sugar (an object which he also is apparently very doubtful of seeing accomplished, for the same reasons as we have just assigned), as on the principle that the alteration of the duty on foreign produce to 345. renders it indis pensable for the protection, nay, the existence, of our West India interest, to reduce the duties on 13ri tish West India sugar to 20s. per cwt. The other modifications of duty which this gentleman proposes may be collected from the terms of his amendment : " That from and after the 10th day of November, 1844, the duty upon sugar, the produce of British possessions, be re duced to 20s. the cwt.; and that the duties on sugar, certified to he the growth of China, Java, or Manilla, or of any foreign country, the sugar of which her Majesty in Council shall have declared to be admissible, as not being the produce of slave labour, shall be as follows—namely, brown, muscovado, or clayed, the cwt., 305.; white clayed, or sugar otherwise pre pared, and equivalent to white clayed sugar, the cwt., 345., with 5 per cent. thereon." The debate was very ably sustained ; but we really think that Mr. MILES'S supporters had the best of it in every way. The benefit of his amendment would be by no means inconsiderable to the consumer, and is sufficiently low, as to its scale of protection to the West India body, to have elicited much grumbling from some of its members in the House, as they carefully qualified, with this unsavoury element, their support. The Hon. Gentleman himself de livered a very animated address, commencing it by 1 , reminiscences of the Premier's past promises to his party, and subsequent acts, which we can imagine to have been anythie but palatable to Sir ROBERT— ,.vhuqe temper, by the bye, is represented to have Ilia come acclimatised to the West Indian weather of last night —after the announcement of the numbers. Mr. MH.Es complained with good reason, that upon the only feasible means of rescuing our plantation from absolute ruin for want of hands, namely, the immigration of free labourers, large and abundant professions of their readiness to permit and promote it had been made by Government; but nothing, or almost nothing, carried into effect. On this subject we have written so often and so earnestly in The Site, that we merely quote this confirmation of our opinions, reserv ing other comments which we have to offer on the un fairness, if not impolicy, of the boon of a reduced duty to the production of Java to a future opportunity. But we think we may congratulate the British con sumer on the certain prospect of his ere long obtain ing sugars of all qualities at a considerale reduction on their present cost to him. An exceedingly edifying discussion took place in the House of Lords on Friday, on the subject of the Bishop of EXETER'S Bill for the suppression ofbro- thels, when Lord CAMPBELL, with a delicate and vir tuous consideration for the morals of the community, and of the reporters in particular, suggested that the discussion should be taken with closed doors, so that none should be made acquainted with the awful facts detailed by the ghostly Prelate—whose speech, to do him justice, exhibited an infinite variety of research, and proved that he was thoroughly master of his subject —but their Lordships and the Bench of Bishops, to whose apostolical purity and simplicity of nature the heinous disclosures made by their episcopal bro ther would of course be unintelligible. Lord CAMPBELL'S suggestion, however, was not adopted by the House, and, to say the truth, we are by no means sorry for it, lot if the discussion had been carried on with closed doors, the " pensive public" would have lost one of the richest bits of cant that was ever indulged in, even by the Bishop of LONDON. In reply to some forcible remarks made by Lord BROUGHAM respecting the exclusion of BYRON'S statue from Westminster Abbey, the Right Rev. Prelate observed :—" All the objec tions which had been urged against the eloquent his torian of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, might be urged with equal justice and with equal force against the works of the great poet whose name had just b3en mentioned. Almost every one of his poems contained inuendos, descriptions, and assertions which, on the ground of morals as well as of religion, disqualified the writer from any right to claim admission after his death into a sanc tuary consecrated to the worship of CHRIST." Lord BraoN has certainly put forth many careless random opinions in his works, and he was notquite soorthodox a Churchman as the Dean and Chapter of Westminster could perhaps wish; but to compare him with GIBBON in this respect, is to do his memory the cruellest in justice. The historian of Rome, gravely and deli berately, by argument and by sarcasm, and ingenious twisting of the truth, endeavoured to sap the founda tion of Christianity ; he brought learning, method, and a deep-rooted spirit of infidelity to his task ; and with solemn pompousness in his text, and epigram matic point in his notes, laboured to show that the earlier Christians were by no means what the world supposed them to have been. Far otherwise was it with poor BYRON. He had no cold, settled, inveterate hatred to Christianity. He did not diligently bring all the powers of his great, but ill-regulated, mind to bear against it. Deism was not a faith—a ruling principle of action with him. We could quote upwards of a hundred passages from his works informed with the truest and most fervent religious Ifeeling ; and know not where to look for a purer— Lore sacred—more inspiring body of sentiment, than ... is • L.z., be found in his Evening Address to the Virgin in .tg Don Juan." But Lord BYRON, says the Bishop, _ wag ounoral ! Well, and was not PRIOR immoral-- .vrossly e 4?

Shame on this sickening cant, which is alike unworthy of the age in which it is uttered, and of the episcopal dignitary who uttered it ! BYRON immoral ! Impossible ! Had he been so, surely the late respectable publisher of that High Church and State periodical, the Quarterly Review— the patronised of Lords and Bishops—would never have dreamed of republishing " Don Juan" with all the passages, which were once thought objectionable and expunged as such, diligently restored to the text! If there be one fact more discreditable than another to the much vaunted spirit of the age, it is the studied exclusion from Westminster Abbey of the statue of the most genuine poet that the world has known since the days of SHAKSPEARE. We cannot allow the Report of the Select Com mittee on Gaming to subside into the " limbo" which is the early, and certain, destination of all Parliamen tary papers, without offering a word or two upon its contents and its pretensions. It is entitled to this notice. Had it, indeed, no other claim on our atten tion, it is so eminently characteristic of the House of Commons, and of the spirit of the age, that, upon that account alone, it would be our duty to receive it with a special greeting. All the tendencies of the House of Commons are to class legislation. This report is directed against a class—not the general community —of gamblers. The tendency of the age is cant; and every line of this document is responsive to it. Thus the report, as we have intimated above, is identified with our times and with our Legislature. The Select Committee, it seems, was " appointed to inquire into the existing statutes against gaming of every kind ; to ascertain to what extent these statutes are evaded ; arid to consider whether any and what amendment should be made in such statutes." If it have satisfied the first branch of this triple charge, (which we are not disposed absolutely to allow,) it has strangely slighted the other two. Like the chur lish Jupiter of the poet to his supplicant, the Select Committee has doled out but scant measure to the expectant House of Commons, which invoked its as sistance ; for the " Select " have granted but half its prayer ; The rest the winds dispers'd in empty air." There are but three statutes mentioned by name or designation throughout the report; the "extent to which they are evaded," is a matter disposed of in a single paragraph ; namely, " with regard to the extent to which these laws have been evaded, your Committee might be justified in saying that, with the exception of the enactments for the suppression of common gaming -houses, these laws have, generally speakirg, and with some particular and occasional exceptions, seldom been called into action." The "amendments" which are recommended as proper to be made in the existing laws for the repression of gaming, we shall notice presently. On the first branch of their inquiry, the Committee obtained the assistance of Mr. Justice PATTESON, and of Mr. STARKIE and Mr. BELLENDEN KER, " the two Commissioners for making a digest of the criminal law, and they beg to refer to the evidence of those three persons, and to the papers furnished by the two latter, (and inserted in the appendix to this report,) for a full and accurate detail of the enactments now in force which bear upon gaming of all kinds." But the appendix has not yet been delivered out from the Vote-office ; and we are treated at present to the somewhat vague or trite information, " that upon some branches of the subject much uncertainty exists, as to what the law, as bearing upon any given case, really is"—an interesting, and, withal, a notorious uncer tainty, which it did not need the sagacity of two Commissioners to discover, being a fact within the certain knowledge of ninety and nine out of every one hundred of her MAJESTY'S subjects. Now as to "gaming of all kinds," it would indeed have been desirable to receive from the house of Commons a report, indicating, expounding, and re commending any necessary amendments in the sta tute law directed against a crime against the peace and property of individuals and the bonds of social connexion, and the security of Government itself, so heinous as gaming, in the general sense of the term. ft saps all the foundations of moral feeling ; under mines all moral responsibility in every relation of domestic life ; and ultimately debauches, by a process of certain mental corruption, the integrity of the public servant, as well as the honesty of the private citizen. To one absorbing demon passion—a com bination of fierce rapacity and crafty avarice—it is ever ready to sacrifice the most precious associations of domestic life, the most sacred principles of honour, the calls of duty, the memory of affections. On that altar the gamester, in the madness of his irrepressible excitement, will immolate fortune, station, character —the property of his children, the interests of his posterity—his friends ; his country—all his hopes here—all his destiny hereafter ! Is this the crime— so hideous, yet so common—a treason against the peace of every class of that society with whose limits it may be said to be co-extensive—which the Select Committee appear by their report to have aimed at effectually putting down by the powers of the law ? Let us see how this is. The report classes " the laws now in force about gaming" under four heads 1. Those of early periods (as 17 ED. IV., c. 3, HEN. c. 9) " which prohibited certain games on po litical grounds," for example, in order to prevent the disuse of archery. 2. Those in the nature of sump tuary laws, against what was considered, when they were passed, excessive gaming, such laws being "destined to restrain private individuals from wasting their substance by losing too much money on games and pastimes." 3. Laws against fraud, and for the pre vention of cheating, &c., at games upon which mosey is to be lost.and won. 4. Those which relate to pub lic morals, and prohibit common gaming-houses and public gambling as nuisances, " whereby unwary men are led into dissolute and vicious habits," &c. They who, in reference to the passage we have marked by inverted commas, under No. 2 in this enu meration, may naturally expect to find strong recom mendations to enforce old, or provide new, effcient laws against the stupendous gambling of the turf— that is the grand stand or the betting-room—still be as disappointed as those who may assume that, under No. 4, are to be included Crockford's or Boodle's, or the gorgeous hells of more modern creation, which grace the vicinity of St. James's. On the subject of " betting," in truth, the report rises to a strain of elo quent deprecation of the folly they committed who had ever dreamed of legally restraining such an amusement—for the upper classes. For mark how the class feeling of the House creeps in, and upsets all the pretence of moral solicitude which the Committee had previously expressed : " What sense can there be in declaring by law that a man may win or lose ten pounds by a game or a wager; but that if he win or lose a larger sum, he shall be liable to a heavy fine ? Does such a law even accomplish its own apparent purpose of protecting individuals from their own imprudence ? For may not that sum, the loss of which is a trifle to a man in one class of society, be a matter of great importance to another man in a poorer condition? And if protection is the object of this law, does it not protect most those who from their station in life need protection the least, and leave comparatively unprotected those of an inferior class, who may be se• vere sufferers from apparently small losses." This is pretty well. But we were still more sur prised at a subsequent passage, in which s. very "spe cial plea," is put in to save the interests—of the betting ring : " At present wagers are chiefly confined to sporting events, but the practice of wagering is still deeply rooted in the habits of the nation, and the practical imposition of pecuniary penalties for wagers would be so repugnant to the general feelings of the people, that such penalties would scarcely ever be enforced, or if enforced would be looked upon as an arbitrary interference with the free dom of private life." We must own these passqges gave us some mis givings. We recollected a recent threatened catas trope of an avalanche of " qui tam" actions impend ing over most noble Dukes, and Lord GEORGES, and sporting Colonels—suddenly and miraculously ar rested in its descent, by the sedative effect of a pro tective or indemnity Bill, for a term, carrid through both Houses with a speed that " Running Fein" him self might have envied. We turned first to the list of the Committee, where we found such names as WORSLEY and LASCELLES, Colonel PEEL and Captain BERKELEY, and Sir HORACE SEYMOUR—(in some of whom the qui-tam antipathy is most powerful)—and then we turned to this strangely sympathising senti ment. Was it contributed by the Gallant Colonel himself ? " But to keep upon the Statute-book laws of a penal THh SUN, LONDON, MON'DAY MaitNING, j'UNV 1844.9 character which have become obsolete and are little known, having fallen into desuetude, is not a matter of indifference ; because such laws being called into action now and then, in special and particular cases, from mo tives arising out of personal considerations become snares for the few instead of being restraints for the many ; and instead of promoting what their framers considered to be the public interest, they are converted into instru ments for gratifying the passions of private individuals." We have, elsewhere, taken the trouble to string together the various paragraphs of this very short re port, the burden of which is—not the evils of gaming in general and society at large, but of " gaming booths on race-courses" to the gentry of the sporting world in particular. In the same spirit, whilst •' common gaming -houses," by that appellation, are devoted to the infernal gods, by all the forms of im precation and adjuration which the Ancients would have used, had they had any Tribunes in the shape of Police Inspectors of A, B, and C Divisions, to em ploy for such a purpose ; mere aristocratic gaming houses—(" uncommon" ones, we wish the truth would allow us to call them, in contradistinction to the doomed "common" ones)--are but once even glanced at in this report. In that solitary instance the notice is almost parenthetical : " Your Committee think that it would be very da sirable that some measures should be adopted for the purpose of suppressing gaming -tables kept by the pro prietors of club-houses, the mixed character and the re gulations of which render it doubtful whether they pro perly fall within the description of common gambling houses ; provided such suppression could be effected without any violation of the general principle which pro tects private houses from intrusion ; but the inquiries of your Committee have not enabled them to suggest any specific enactments for the accomplishment of this ob ject." By this time our readers will concur with us in reprobating the cant, and denouncing the class interest principle of such legislation as is either re cognised or recommended in this report. The further extracts we publish from it will confirm these views of its demerits. We learn, from Madrid Journals of the 7th, that Murtoz, the husband of the QUEEN MOTHER, has been made a Grandee of Spain. The fact is an nounced in these words in the papers :—" By a royal decree communicated to the chiefs of the Palace, her Majesty Queen Donna ISABELLA 11. has been pleased to raise Don FERNANDO MUNOZ, now residing at Paris, to the rank of Grandee of Spain, with the title of Duke de RIANZARES." NARVAEZ, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were daily expected at Madrid, when it was generally believed some new coup d'etat would be announced. Among the reports that prevailed, it was affirmed that the Cortes would be immediately dissolved ; and that steps were in progress to make important changes in the consti tuencies. It was said, also, that the new Finance Minister intends to make a rigid inquiry into the financial operations of the late Cabinet, and that, owing to some suspected malversations, BRAVO and CARRASCO had been ordered to remain at Madrid. The funds still continued greatly depressed. On the 7th, the Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash, and 27 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 201 at 60 days. Most of the Paris journals again advert to the commencement of hostilities in Morocco, but without adding any fresh intelligence, and if we except one journal, without any bitterness against the Govern ment or this country. The National is the exception, but its unmeaning hostility to England, its unwar rantable imputations against the good faith of this country, and its rabid articles, intended only to stir up war between two great nations, are so well known, that any opinion expressed by that journal, on a question which involves the national interests of England and France, is entitled to very little weight. Nothing short of the entire conquest of Morocco will satisfy that organ of the Republicans. "The blow," it says, " should be given at once with all our might and main. A decided victory is the only negotiation possible, for the Koran itself pre scribes submission to superior force. We are able to assail Morocco with our troops—to take possession of her coast by means of our ships. Bold, rapid, and well-combined movements would enable us in a very short time to carry our arms into the very heart of the empire, and, by reducing its chief to a state of impotence, we should in a very short time obtain a decisive influence over the whole of the tribes of Algeria. A conquest of Morocco would be a death blow to that holy war, which is incessantly raised against us." In the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, a lengthened discussion took place on the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad. The arguments turned chiefly on one point, whether the new lines should be con structed by the Government, or left to companies. M. DE BORT moved that the lines should be executed by the State. The motion was opposed by the Minister of Finance, chiefly on the ground that the surplus revenue which had existed for several years had all been absorbed, and that it would be a hazardous experiment, under present circumstances, to borrow money to the amount that would be re quired. " Some years back, in 1838, he had sup ported the system now proposed by the Hon. Deputy's amendment —of having the railroads exe cuted by the State exclusively. His motive for so 'doing was, that scarcely anything was then known about railroads, and that no company had, at that period, come forward to take part in their execution. Since then, two great compa nies had sprung into existence, and had executed the Rouen and Orleans lines. He had also another mo tive—that they then possessed a milliard, which had since been expended in increasing their naval and military strength, and in supporting for some time a considerable army. If they had a similar sum at present, he should side with the Hon. Gentleman's views." After speeches fur and against the amendment the general discussion closed, and a vote of 54,000,000 f. was taken for commencing the line between Tours and Bourdeaux. On Thursday the French Funds had improved. The Three per Cents. closed at 82f. 70c. , and the Fives at 122 f. 20c. THE BOURSE -- THURBDAY, JUNE 13. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

The will is dated as late as last month, and gives the whole of his property to his wife in nearly the following words :—" I give and bequeath the whole of my property, of whatever de scription, unto my dear wife, and her heirs, relying on her doing what i s ri g ht." The personal property alone is morn under the large sum of 200,000/., and it is ru moured that his real estate is worth 150,0001. more. BRIDLINGTON. TEE WEATHER: On Sunday evening last this town was favoured with a smart shower, which lasted about a quarter of an hour, and suddenly changed the face of nature from a dusty brown to a lively green. On the Monday forenoon following, a rather heavy shower, accompanied with thunder and hail, passed over this place, well saturating with water the thirsty ground. Aft e r this, it is hoped, the farmers will be able to sow the remaining part of their spring corn and turnips, a n d th a t the seed, which has lain some time in the ground choaked up, will now spring forth rapidly.—Hull Advertiser. DIABOLICAL ACT OF INCENDIARISNI, DEVONPORT, JUNE 13.—The county of Cornwall, which had hitherto escaped the torch of the incendiary, we have reason to be lieve suffered from such a diabolical cause this day. About one o'clock this morning a fire was discovered on the farm of Mr. John Luscombe, of Sherwick Barton, about six miles from Torpoint, opposite this place, which raged with such inconceivable fury, in consequence of the dryness of the weather and the combustibility of the materials, that in a very short time, all the valuable ricks of corn, hay, straw, together with the whole of the outhouses, barns, &c., were totally consumed. Fortunately, the farm-house escaped. This calamity to Mr. Luscombe has excited universal com miseration in Devonport and its vicinity, as he was held to be an excellent master, and justly esteemed in his neighbour hood. The Barton is about 170 acres, close to the Liskeard road. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND utdtc Optriton. " Who runs may read." FOR.EION. The King of the French, on Tuesday, left Neuilly at three o'clock, accompanied by Colonel Dumas and the Marquis de Strada, and two orderly officers, for St. Cloud, where he re mained some time, and then went to the stud-house at Ville neuve, returning to Neuilly at seven o'clock. In the evening their Majesties received the Chancellor of France, Marshal Grouchy, the Duke de Crillon, Count Mortier, Messrs. Dupin, De Saint Priest, and De Lasalle. The report of M. Lanyer on the Northern Railroad was dis tributed on Wednesday. The only amendments which the Committee have made are in Articles 2 and 4. The most im portant change is in Article 4. The Committee reduces the term of the lease to be granted to twelve years. The Gazette de France announces that M. Mauguin is no minated Consul-General of France in Spain, with appoint ments to the amount of 40,000 f. per annum. The Duke d'Aumale on the 9th, says the Breton of Nantes, became the purchaser of Chateau of Chateaubriant, and the promenade dependent on it. This journal adds, that the Prince intends - making important improvements in the property. The Conservative party of Rouen, says the Constitutionnel, have fixed on M. Barbet, formerly a member of the Cham ber, as their candidate for the approaching election, to re place M. Jacques - Laffitte. The opposition will give their support to M. Bouvel. The election will take place on the 25th inst. The heat was still increasing in Paris. At two o'clock on Thursday the thermometer (Fahrenheit) marked 84i degrees. The Courtier du Havre states that a petition, signed by a number of respectable persons, and amongst them the Bishop of Montpellier, has been sent to the Council of Ministers, in favour of Mme. Laffarge. It appears that the prisoner at present exhibits the utmost piety and resignation, having been touched by the religious consolation of the sisters of St. Joseph, who attend the prison at Montpellier. The Courrier de Lyon states that the mid-day train from St. Etienne went off the rails on the 12th, between St. Romain and Givors. The engineer was thrown down, and had his leg broken. He was removed to Givors immediately, where the leg was amputated. No other person suffered any injury. The Courrier states that the accident was caused by the expansion of the rails from extreme heat. Although watered only a few hours before, they had gone so far out of their .position as to prevent the train from running true. Prince Michael Obrenowitch, who has been residing at Dresden for some time, repaired to Toplitz last month, for the purpose of having an interview with his father, Prince Milosch, who came from Vienna to meet him. Prince Michael has again returned to Dresden, and intends remaining there during the summer. Amongst other foreigners of distinction who will sojourn there shortly are General Espartero, the Princess Ghika, and the celebrated savants, the Countess Ida Hahn-Hahn. M. Warnier, member of the Scientific Commission of Alge ria, who, after the treaty of Tafna, was for two years the representative of France at the Court of Abd-el-Kader, is attached to the service of the Prince de Joinville, in the ex pedition to the coasts of Morocco. COMILT-PASHIONAISLE. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, attended by the Baroness Ahlefeldt and Major Stephens, honoured the French Plays with their presence on Friday. The Countess of Powis held an assembly on Thursday night at the family mansion in Berkeley-square.

The Emperor of Russia has sent a superb gold snuff-box, preciously mounted, to be presented to George Catlin, Esq., as au " expression of his Majesty's high approbation of the spirited style and execution" of his forthcoming " Portfolio of the Hunting Scenes and Amusements of the North Ame rican Indians," an incomplete copy of which his Imperial Majesty had with him for his amusement during his voyage home. This beautiful present was transmitted through the hands of the Hon. C. A. Murray. We are sorry to hear that Mr. Thomas Campbell, author of " The Pleasures of Hope," &c., is dangerously ill at Boulogne. IWISCEL7. ANIMOVS, On Friday, the adjournednTeiln7 — (i the New Zealand Company was held at the office, meetin g of Mr Aglionby in the chair. There were but eleven persons present. The Chairman said, the proprietors would remem ber that at the meeting held on the 31st of May last, it was recommended by the Directors, under the circumstances of the Company at the time, that an adjournment till this day should take place. The Directors had agreed to recommend - that the Proprietors should again adjourn, in consequence of important dispatches from New Zealand having been re ceived only two days since. There had not been time to consider or digest these dispatches. It was then unani mously resolved that the meeting should stand adjourned till the 28th instant. The subscribers to the new German Lutheran Church, in Blenheim-street, held their first anniversary dinner on Fri day, at the White Conduit House, where they were enter tained with some excellent singing by Staudigl, and some admirable pianoforte playing by Miss Roeckel. About 160 ladies and gentlemen sat down to dinner, which passed off much to the satisfaction of all present. A magnificent building at Brewood, Staffordshire, designed for the performance of divine service according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, was opened, with all the ceremonies of consecration, on Thursday last. The Rev. Dr. Wiseman officiated, and was assisted by a large number of the Roman Catholic clergy, within a circuit of several miles. The proceedings attracted many visitors. The Archbishop of Canterbury consecrated a new church at Hougham, Dover, on Thursday last, in presence of the Ve nerable Archdeacon Croft, the Rev. Charles Plumptre, the Rev. G. Lumsdaine, Rev. Thomas Morris, Rev. Thomas Malik, Rev. W. S. Cole, Rev. George Roche, Rev. Rawdon Greene, Rev. George Masters, upwards of fifty other clergy • men, and a very numerous congregation. On Friday a public meeting of the inhabitants of Green wich (convened by the churchwardens) took place in the vestry-room adjoining the church, for the purpose of taking into consideration the encroachments about being made in building, upon a portion of Greenwich-park, houses for the Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital. The subject excited considerable interest. Several gentlemen having addressed the meeting, resolutions were carried expressive of the regret of the inhabitants that such an encroachment should be made upon the park, and a petition having been founded upon them, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting separated.

GRAND BALL AT THE MANSION-HOUSE. — The Lord and Lady Mayoress have issued invitations for a grand ball, at the Mansion-house, on the 3d of July. We understand that it is expected the ladies will appear in dresses strictly of British or Spitalfields manufacture. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—FAVERSHAM, JUNE 13.—0 n Tuesday morning, about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out at a thatched house in the village of Newnham, about five miles from Faversham, Kent, which totally destroyed 14 or 15 houses and cottages, besides a carpenter's shop, lodges, stables, &c. the fire is supposed to have originated from sparks falling from the chimney on to the thatch of the house. which of course was very dry from the long absence of rain, and so rapid was the progress of the flames, which were driven with great fury by a south-westerly breeze, that several of the poor people were unable to save their furniture, and are thereby plunged into the deepest distress, being in some cases uninsured. The Kent and Norwich Union engines, from Faversham, and the Kent engine, from Sittingbourne, attended, and succeeded towards evening in subduing the fire. The greatest fears were at one time entertained that the whole village of Newnham would have fallen a sacrifice. A subscription has been commenced for the poor sufferers. MONEY AND cokmrriclAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The transactions in Cotton, at Liverpool, yesterday, were rather extensive, amounting to 6,000 bales, at steady prices. There was a stronger market for Grand Junction and Bir mingham Shares. Eastern Counties, I ; Grand Junction, 217 ; Belfast Junction, 3/. I ls. ; Leeds and Bradford, 2!.

The American advices received yesterday read tolerably well ; but we apprehend, from all we hear, that the domestic manufacturers of the States are supplying a very large pro portion of the home consumption. In the Canadian produce markets, ashes had declined considerably upon the advices per Britannia, and flour was dull, owing chiefly to the firm- ness of the holders, in the face of the rather discouraging accounts from England. It is justly a matter for congratulation, that the commerce of New Brunswick, so long and seriously depressed, is likely to revive. A party writing from St. John's states : " As soon as the navigation opens, business of all kinds must take a start. The merchant from above will be down for supplies, which are generally pretty well exhausted by the spring, and new life and animation will pervade all classes and conditions among us. Then, again, on the left hand side, we shall have the spring fleet coining into port, some laden with merchandise, and others less richly freighted, to carry away the staple articles of the country for the English market. We likewise have reason to believe that a new field of enter prise will be opened this summer, by some of our merchants in the prosecution of our fisheries, since the Legislature has been so liberal in affording means of encouragement. If this business be entered upon with anything like spirit there will be no lack of employment for the labourer, as well as the fisherman. All have enough to do. Nova Scotia employs 10,000 persons in the fisheries. In fact, it is this business that maintains that province, in a commercial point of view. A stranger to go round the wharves in Halifax, would have undeniable proof of this fact, for during the greater part of the year, the wharves, one and all, we had almost said, are literally strewed with fish, drying in the sun ; and hundreds of labourers employed in attending—in turning, gathering, packing, screwing, and in fact shipping them for the West India markets. This business likewise gives employment to coopers and carpenters, in the manufacture of hogsheads and boxes. Why should not our wharves present something of this aspect? " Again, the ship-building business will revive ; this like wise must be attended to ; we must not lose sight of the substance in trying to grasp at the shadow. Even though other inducements be held out for the encou ragement of industry, the ship-yards must not be de serted. They have hitherto given employment to thou sands; they have been the strong means of building the city, and spreading the name of our people far and wide, as a people possessing an enterprising and commercial spirit, and worthy of the land that gave them birth. Let our ship yards, then, be re-opened. Let our lumberers attend to their occupations—our farmers to theirs. In short, let no business be deserted." We are happy to hear that when the Britannia left, some of these favourable anticipations had already been realised. The determination of Sir Robert Peel, it appears, is, to adhere to his Bank- Bill, as printed, unless Parliament force him into modifications. The division on the Sugar question having gone against the Ministry, has had no effect upon the value of the funds, although rather unexpected. Consols for the opening have realised 98 to A, being full rates. Exchequer Bills have been marked 745. to 765. premium, which are again rather better prices. Bank Stock is 1971 to 198,- 1 ,-; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 1011 to An improvement lias occurred in the value of Spanish Stock, the Five per Cents. being 23 to and the Three per Cents. 344 I s . Mexican Bonds have been also better, as the accounts per Br►tannia advise the subsiding of the Texas an nexation excitement. The quotations are 34i to a. Portuguese Converted Bonds have been steady at 47 ; Colombian are 13 to 12i ; and Peruvian, 27 ; Dutch and Belgian Bonds maintain their value. The Railways are steady, with the exception of the South Western and the French lines, which droop a little ; Great Western and Birmingham are at full rates.

John Parkins, came to Hull on Tuesday, from Whitgift ; whilst here he fell into a beastly state of in toxication, on recovering from which he found himself minus coat, waistcoat, boots, and money, besides a bun dle containing a large quantity of wearing apparel. John has not the slightest idea how, when, or where he became dispossessed of his upper garments and other property.—Hull Advertiser. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.--Since our last we have had exceedingly warm, and, unfortunately for the farmers, exceedingly dry weather also. The showers which fell a week ago, and which led us to anticipate more rain, have done but very little to re fresh the earth, and a heavy fall is anxiously looked for by the agriculturists. The early-sown wheat is very forward; in a field of Mr. Dunn's, at Aldborough, within three hundred yards of the sea, the wheat, a few days ago, was bursting into ear: it exhibits a very healthy appearace. In Cottingham, the wheat in a field belonging to Mr. Lund, shot into ear so early as the 28th of May. In Willerby, Hessle, Ferriby, Swanland, Sunk Island, Lund, Etton, Leconfield, Bainton, and one or two other places, the Car has already shot forth. In all districts of the East Riding, however, rain is greatly wanted ; the spring wheat especially requires moisture, and, should heavy showers speedily fall, it is thought that the spring wheat will yield better crops than the winter sown, notwithstanding the present forwardness of the latter. The hay harvest has already commenced in the neighbourhood of Doncaster, but there does not seem any likelihood of similar operations commencing in the neighbourhood of Hull during the present month. The crops of had• in the East-Riding are likely, generally to be very light. Indeed, fears are expressed that all kinds of agricultural produce will suffer unless a plentiful rain speedily descend. A great quantity of potatoes have been ploughed up, in consequence of the dry rot having affected them.—Hull Advertiser. CROMARTY.—THE DANES.—On Saturday last the Danish corvette that has for the last fortnight enlivened Cromarty, sailed out of the bay to continue her cruise in the North Sea. Short as is the time she has been amongst us, her departure creates a strong and uni versal feeling of regret in the neighbourhood, for a finer set of youths never reflected honour on any coun try. Cromarty has been the scene of much gaiety since the coming of the Danes, and we think they will carry away with them a favourable im pression of the hospitality of its inhabitants. Major and Mrs. Ord, at Cromarty House, we understand, have made many of the strangers happy by their kind ness and attention, and on Thursday a farewell fete was given to them at Braelangwell, the residence of Sir Hugh Fraser. The commodores and captains, with some of the senior officers, were at dinner, and were joined in the evening by a large party of younger officers and mid shipmen from the Flora, together with as many of the neighbouring gentry as on so short a notice could be assembled. A more agreeable evening was never passed, and it was the source of general remark how thoroughly each one seemed imbued with the spirit of enjoyment. Some Danish songs and dances contributed to aid the zest of novelty and were much admired. The facility with which all these Danes speak English is remarkable, and their invariably courteous and gentlemanly de meanour will secure a hearty Highland welcome to any of their countrymen who may henceforth visit our shores. The following morning, at the request of Commodore Garde, a large party went from Braelangwell to visit the frigate Gefion, of 48 guns, where they were met by the captains, and some officers of the Flora, i❑ addition to those of the Gefion ; and Sir Hugh Fraser received the salute due to his rank as a general officer. After in specting the vessel, and partaking of the hospitality of her officers, the party dispersed with interchange of many good wishes.—lnverness Courier. Ernst, the celebrated violinist, has presented to the Royal Society of Musicians the munificent donation of 741., being a moiety of the proceeds of the concert which he gave, with Moscheles, on the Ist instant. As M. Ernst was not able, owing to sudden indisposition, to fulfil his promise to the public, he thought it due from him to present the profits of the concert to a fund, the object of which is the support of aged and indigent musicians—a benevolent act, which does him infinite credit. _ _ _ DIED.—At Dingwall, Ross-shire, North Britain, after a most painful illness, which she bore with fortitude and pious resignation, Mary, the second daughter of the late Kenneth El'Kenzie, Esq., paymaster of the 3d West India Regiment; sister-in-law to Captain Thomas Munro, late Royal Highlanders ; cousin to Colin Alexander M'Kenzie, Esq., late British Consul at Lisbon ; also, to the Right Hon.

LIGHTNING —A letter from Auxerre states that on Sunday, about half-past four, the electric fluid fell on the tower of the church of St. Pierre, breaking off the weather cock, and throwing down some of the mason-work; then penetrating into the interior, it damaged the wood-work of several chapels. A few minutes before the church was full of persons hearing vespers. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY, JUNE 14.—At a congre gation held yesterday, a degree was conferred on William Aldrit, Magdalene college.
