The distance by sea from Liverpool to America as fir as Valentia, the usual route, Is about 500 miles ; from London to America as far as the same place is 800 miles. By railway a communication may be effected between the last-named places in about thirteen hours, and the voyage from the latter place to Halifax in f;cven days: so that Valentia will not only become the port of intercommunication for American vessels outward and home ward hound, but also the great seaport between the continents of Ameriet and Europe, and consequently an incalculable amount of America traffic will necessarily flow along this line.

The experimental squadron will leave on Tuesday. A portion of the squadron was paid ad vance wages this morning. The target practice has been conti nued daily, and on the whole has been good. Commodore the Earl of Yarborough intends accompanying the squadron throughout the cruise, in his yacht, the Kestrel, which has shipped six months' provisions for the cruise. The Black Eagle Admiralty steam yacht, Master-Commander Cook, was yesterday employed in conveying the Duke of Buccleuch and a distinguished party from Ryde into this harbour, when they went on board and inspected the Victory and the royal yacht, and afterwards the fleet at Shithead. The Lightning steam yacht, Master-Commander Petley, took out Lord Adolphus Fitzclarance and a distinguisned party yester day to inspect the fleet. The Siren, 16, Commander Edgell, was inspected and paid the usual adv.ince wag, a yesterday at Spithead, by Captain Moubray, of the Victory, and sails to-morrow for the Mediterranean. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commander Bryant, came round from the river on Monday, with the baggage of Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, which she transferred to the Hibernia, and left on her return on Tuesday. The Rattler, 8, screw propelled steam-sloop, Commander Smith, came into harbour to coal on Tuesday. She rejoined the squadron at Shithead again on Wcdneday. The Fairy, screw steam.tender to the royal yacht, arrived yea. terday morning from the river. She attracted considerable attention on coming in. She appears a very beautiful craft, and in every way worthy of the distinguished service she is destined to be em. ployed in. Her speed was the subject of universal surprise and admiration. The Seatlower, 6, Commander Robtlllard, arrived on Tuesday night from the Channel Islands. The Ferret, 6, Commander Oake, was in lat. 45 5 40 S., long. 11 30 E., on the 6th of May. A private letter from her states : " Yesterday we had a long and anxious chase after a small Wigan tine, and lost sight of her after dark, but fell in with hir again at daybreak this morning, and shortly atter detained her for being equipped for the blave.trade, having on board a large quantity of water and provisions. She is called the • Conceicoa Felix,' is of about 70 tons, 46 days from Rio. The people say she was intended to carry 350 slaves." The Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, Rag of Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour, the Commander-in-Chief, was at Callao on the 10th of April. She was preparing to leave on a visit to Ota. heite, where she expected to arrive early in May. All were well on board. Lieutenants Hawkey and Ppm, of the Royal Marines, the par• ties in the late fatal duel at Gosport, were in Portsmouth this morning. FoRTSMOUTII, FRIDAY.—Nearly the whole of the squadron ex. ercised this morning in target practice, which was very good. The e ff ect was grand and imposing, the dark clouds which hung over the Isle of Wight serving to throw out into bolder view the effect of the firing from the shore, which drew some hundreds of persons to the ramparts to witness the spectacle. The squadron win post_ Lively sail on Tuesday next, at or as near about one o'clock, P. M., as possible, in order to get under weigh upon the toff the flood and take the ebb tide when outside the Nab. Each shi p will ca rry to sea five months' provisions. The additional men ordered for each ship are ready to beembarked. The Hibernia, 100, Captain Richards, will n start with the squadron, but will leave Spithead on Wednesday, the t Bth. Vice-Admiral sir William Parker, Bart., will arrive on that day, and leave the Gosport terminus of the railway direct for the ship, which witl get under weigh and proceed direct for the port of the gallant admiral's command—Malta. The remainder of the squadron left unpaid yesterday were paid advance wages this day, except the St. Vincent, which will not be paid until the return of the squadron. The ships and vessels which will actually get under weigh iron, Spithead on Tuesday will be the St. Vincent, 120; hTerpaufasl;gaBr4, ;12s04erZuezn: 110 ; Rodney, 92 ; Albion, 90 ; Ca- Vanguard, 80; Rattler, screw steam sloop; the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, and her tender the Fairy; the Admiralty yacht the Black Elsie; the Lightning steam-yacht, and Commodore the Earl of Yarburough's brigantine S I t h e s e e t r l d e 1 ei l i e e a d d i a n h g d a w e d e o t s h e e n r h h p Y r a ci e p h i t t s i ouosf, t t h h e e e e r e o i y ; e a 1 e s f q uad rgettingon under weigh will be one of the most imposing sights ever wit nessed here.

Lord ASHLEY moved the order of the day for the House going into Committee on the Lunati,.s Bill. Mr. T. DUNC3MBE, by moving that the Howse be courted, and afterwards by m.,ving the adjournment, endeavoured to defeat the measure, but without effect. The Hon. Gentleman then moved the postponement of the Bill until next session. 'This amendment was de feated by a majority of 65, the numbers being—fur the amendment, 1; against it, 66. It was ultimately arranged that the Committee should be taken on Tuesday. The House re-assembled at Five o'clock, when Mr. HAwES postponed his motion on the subject o' the Danish claims until Tuesday week. Sir JAMES GRAIIA3I moved that the House do resolve itself into Committee on the Poor Law (Scotland) Amendment Bill. Mr. HUME thought the Bill ought to be postponed to next session. ➢lr. EWART was also in favour of the postpnement the measure, A long discussion followed, in th' course of which ths. House Witt; ad rrssi•d by Mr. ST::w ART, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Mr. E. ELLICE, Mr. Ross, and other Hon. Members, but eventually the House went into Com mittee on the Bill, and clauses 35 to 55, after consider able discussion, were agreed to. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half past One o'clock. We confidently anticipate that Lord ASHLEY'S Lunatic Bill will be peetpened till next session. Owing to the determined opposition of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, the fur tber consideration of the scheme was deferredyesterday till Tuesday, when it is to go into Committee. We there fore earnestly intreat the attendance of Members at the early sitting, in order that they may judge for them • selves, and not trust either to the well-known humanity of the noble author of the Bill, or to the savings which it may effect as compared with the present state of the law. The expense, in fact, ought to be thrown entirely out of the question, for the amount, even supposing the plan to be carried into effect on the most liberal scale, would be nothing when weighed in the balance with the vast benefits that may be conferred not only on the insane, but on persons of sound mind, liable to be impri soned at the bidding of mad doctors. We regret, there fore, to find that Lord ASHLEY dwells more upon the saving of money by the new plan than on the great object which he ought to have in view. The expense of the present Commission, it appears, would, if allowed to go on fur a few years, reach 25,000/. a year, while the esti mated cost of the new Commission would not amount to 13,0001. The difference hardly d. serves notice, yt t on this point his Lordship dwelt for nearly one halt of his sp-ech. But leaving that, let us see what are the improvements contemplated. It begins by esta blishing a permanent Commission, and thereby, accord ing to Lord ASHLEY, secures the entire services of competent persons and fixes the limits of expense. It places hospitals or subscription asylums under proper r. gulations, by re quiring them to have the same orders and certificates as were necessary in licensed houses and by subjecting them to the same visitation as county asylums. It proems persons of weak mirid from being received in as) lums iu the character of boarders, iu which case they have not the benefit of any visitation, and are sonietion s induced to execute deeds affecting their property. It provides an additional security against the 'wino } er detention of pauper patients, by requiring that the person signing • the order for their confinement should see and personally examine them beforehand ; and that the medical officer who certified as to their insanity should see them within seven days previous to their confinement. It compels every person receiving a patient to state his condition w hen first admitted, and the cause of his death when he die f. It directs every injury and act of vio lence happening to a patient to be recor .ed, and re quires a " case book" to be kept ; theteby affordieg additional eurity against misinanie.;emetit, and showii;g now far the ',anent:3 had the benefit of medical treat ment. It provides against the liberation of dangerous patients. It authorises the visitors to enforce a proper supply of food (in licensed houses) to pauper patients, who were at present fed at the discretion of the proprie tor. It enables the visitors to order the admission of a patient's friends to visit him. All these regu lations, we admit, are unobjectionable, but they are far from going to the root of the evil. The same medical certificates are to be used as the war rants fur commitment, and, therefore, int eres t e d p art i es will still have the power of imprisoning relatives whose property would aecrue to them after the death of the unhappy victims. But oppression will drive a wise man mad. What will be itseffect, otfhetnh,isonehsaernseeitteivrehmavien,dist, harassed by grasping and unfeeling relatives. The in cessant drivenYaTieesof persons many to su c h a state of excitement iis well e l known,an n that medical men are called in to effect their cure—and the only cure they generally recommend is confinement in a madhouse. As regards the visits of Commissioners, whether belonging to the me di cal profession or not, we look upon this specious safeguard as no security whatever for the liberty of a fellow -creature. It is well known that the cruel treatment inflicted by keepers, the dreary prospects of confinement, and the persecution of interested relatives, cause a degree of excitement in per sons of nervous habits which to strangers would appear a species of madness, and this can easily be induced by those who have an interest in their imprisonment. The return proposed to be made to tne LORD CHANCELLOR is of nu use whatever. The Commissioners are to report the number of their visits, the patients they have i-een, and the miles which they have travelled. This may be a very necessary return as regard s p oun d s, s hilli ngs, arid pence, but it is no security against the evils of which we complain. The great cause of all the succeeding misery is the first commitment, and on that point the Legislature should be as jealous as they are of the liberty of the subject when it is invaded by unjust im prisonmy nt. Many sane persona have been confined as lunatics ; Mr. l'nfeeees is a glaring instance, but he could not have obtained redress in a court of law, as the pen-on who signed the certificate wools haee been regarded there as a privileged character. Never was thy re more cruel mockery than this. In our opinion the only real security is an investiga tion by a jury of twelve men in open court, when the motives of all parties can be sifted, and the facts of the case laid before the world. English men would undergo much trouble, and pay any amount of expenses, rather than see, what so often occurs, a fellow-creature unjustly committed to the horrors of a madhouse, and as Mr. 1 areco3ine observed, " Better that nineteen insane persons should go free that, that one rational being should be shut up under theplea of inanity." The Madrid G azette o f th e sth instant contains a circular to the politi ca l c hi e f s, signed by the Minister of the Interoe directing the Provincial Councils to be constituted by the Ist of August, prescribing the form of oath to be taken on in stallation, and stating the amount of salary each councillor will receive—in provinces of the 3d class, 8,000 reals (801.) yearly ; 2d ditto, 9,000 (901.); Ist, 10,000 (100/.); and in Madrid, 12,000 reels (1200 The papers bring no news cf importance. The heat at Madrid is described in some of them as insupportable. The Funds were very flat. There was a decline of 1 per cent. in the Three per Cents. for cash on the sth, and 15-16 for time. They were quoted at 284 cash, and 294 at sixty days; Fives, 21 cash, and 21 for the sth of August; Pas sive, 64 cash. The Faris papers are still occupied with the affair of the French Jesuits, of which enough has already been said. One of them states that the Government has called upon the pro fessors of the College of France to take measures to oblige M. MICHELET and M. QUINET to keep in their lectures within the scope and object for which the professorships held by them were instituted, and that the professors are to meet to consider the subject on Sunday. This refers to the attacks occasionally made by these professors on the French clergy. The political news is without interest. An accident happened to Marshal SOULT on Wednesday, which at first threatened serious consequences. Whil e passing along th e Q ua i d'Orsay, when opposite the barracks, the hind axletree of his carriage broke, the off-wheel came off, and the carriage fell on its side, in whi c h pos i t i on i t was d r agged for some littl e dis mtaanncewbaeafzrnetsn stoph v ec f o n a n chm be a h n in codt:lb d u t,being unhurt, he ran to his horses. The foot his master's assistance, and opening the carriage -door found him lying with his feet upwards. The Marshal had received only a few bruises, and was able, leaning on the arm of his servant, to walk on to the Tuileries, where the medical men in attendance thought it prudept to bleed him. The was present at the operation, and afterwards had the Marshal taken home in one of the royal carriages. The Presse, in reference to the last quarterly returns of the British revenue, greatly blames the illiberal policy of the French Government as re•ptcts trace; but, in fact, the Cham bers are entirely in the fault : " The able chief of the English Cabinet has rendered an immense service to his country by making such bold and decisive improve ments in the fiscal system. Timid minds, incapable of moving out of the beaten track, have condemned them as imprudent and ven. turesome. They have exclaimed against him as having lost the suastance in catching at the shadow, and placing the future finance of England in a state of frightful perturbation. But none of their sinister predictions have been realised. On the contrary, the finances of England have never been in a more flourishing state, and her trade and commerce, thanks to his reduction of the duties on raw material, and on the principal articles of consumption, have extendea to a degree hitherto unknown. May this grand experi ment be maturely weighed—may it teach our statesmen and our Chambers how productive may be a judicious application of true principles of political economy." The National is highly indignant at the escape of " an illustrious personage, crowned with the laurels of Parnassus, and invested with the ermine robes of the Peerage," and as serts that the Peers have failed in their duty.

The following is the time occupied :—First mile, 3 min. 29 sec., Mr. Fenwick at a lead; second mile, 3 min. 36 sec. ; third mile, 3 min. 37 sec. Mr. Fenwick was leading at a good pace, when his horse broke, and his opponent went ahead and won the race, covering the five miles of road in 22 min. 30 sec. ExpLtEss 1 7 KA1 --------- undersNind that the guards who ride outside on the express trains between Manche,ter and London have some difficulty in preserving their sitting, so strong is the rush of air they experience. Last Tuesday several of the guards complained of the danger they were in from the side wind. We hope the directors of every line will arrange some adequate mode of protection.—Manchester Guardia*. In accordance with the determination of the French Government to separate soldiers condemned to hard labour from the other prisoners, the Perdrix, a few days back, took on hoard, at Toulon, seventy-eight condemned soldiers, to conduct them to Brest, whence they are to be sent to Mont St. Michel. KEN SINGTON GARDENS.— The usual summer musi • cal promenade in this park has commenced for the season. Th e band of the Ist Life Guards performs there on every Tuesday and Friday evening, save when an especial regulation alters the rou. tine. To-day, instead of to-morrow, the band will be in attendance. UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS.—The "to make further provisions as to stock and dividends unclaimed," Oust pre. pared and tat ought into the Houseof Commons, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Cardwell), proposes to enact that when any dividends or stock shall have remained unclaimed for ten years, the same shall be paid to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt. The payments of such dividends to claimants is to be directed as in other cases. Notice is to be given by advertise ment before re-transfer, or payment of any stock or dividends to any claimant ; and any person may apply to the Court of Chancery to rescind or vary arty order before the actual re-transfer and pay mer.t ; and when any stock, &c., is once re-transferred or paid, nu further order is to be made for the transfer or payment of the same. The sum of 3,663/. Ids. 6d arising from uitclaitned dividends on East India annuities, is to be paid to the Colunissioners for the reduction of this Jett ; and the Lords of the Treasury are em powered to direct inquiries into the circunsatances of any unclaimed stocks and dividends, &c. MONEY and CONIMERCIAL N E WS. CITY, QUARTEI? TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yestel day was very steady. Sales about 8,000 bales. The Stock Exchange was closed for repairs. Among all classes in the City the report of the Committee of the House of Commons, relative to the jobbing that has taken place with respect to the North Kent Shares, has been perused this morning with most anxious, and, we may add, fairly indignant attention. There is too much reason to be lieve that this is not the only instance in which official confi dence has been used to advance the interest of certain parties who have unfairly obtained information to the disadvantage of the bona fide holders of scrip receipts before the Commit tees of several of the groups made their final decision. A most searching inquiry ought to be entered into with regard to many other lines where, without question, similar transactions to that we have noticed have occurred. In the concluding part of the report of the Cona mittee most persons entirely concur, viz., that such transac tions on the part of one or inure Members of Parliament and others must tend, if not put an end to, to render the decisions of the Committees of the House of little value in the eyes of the public generally. It is quite certain that, even should the session be too short this year to take up the subject in detail, the most prompt steps must be taken next year to bring the matter fully and fairly before the public, and without which the dignity of the Legislature in its decisions upen private Bills would become a matter of scum. The issues of notes by the Bank of England during the week to Saturday last, were 29,891,9351., which is less by 155,535/. than per previous return. The public deposits are , reduced a little, but as yet the payment of the half year's interest is pretty nearly balanced by the revenue from vari ous branches of the public revenue. The stock of the pre cious metals in the Issue Department was 15,891,935/., and in the Banking Department, 526,1971., a decrease on the total of 183,769/. The Stock-market is in a most quiescent state to-day. Consuls for the Account have fluctuated but from 998 to 99 ; the Three per Cents. for transfer next week, from 99 1 ,( to 98% ; and the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. from 102 1 to 14. The premium upon Exchequer-bills remains heavy, at Ms. to 58s. A very few bargains were made in the Foreign Stocks to-day. Spanish are rather lower, the Consols having just been done at 26%, and the Three per Cents. at 37 1 / 2 . For the other foreign bonds there has been but very few trans actions to-day. The Share Market has upon the whole looked firm this morning, but not very many transactions have been reported. The old lines are the firmest as to price. bArt ISt" FUNDS THIS DAY Al' ONE O'CLOCK.

Although pretty general,its effects appear to have been the most severe over Somers Town, Camden Town, and the north-west of the suburbs. Ih Scmer Town, after a tremendous peal of thunder, the electric fluid struck the corner of a newly-built house in Seyinour.,tretetcn takingarry iig a a n w o a b y liq a u s e ta d c i k re o c.f c himneys, and the corner of the parapet, th e n tion, carrying away all the parts it touched, until it reached the coping of the wall. Near the spot two working men were sitting on a heap of bricks—one either sprung with afirig-t some distance, or was hurled by the shock five or six yards. He was picked up by Mr. Silcock, who has opened a leiblic house, into which the poor fellow was conveyed, in a senseless state. The other was struck against a wall, against which he stood for some time im movable. A third man, who was driving pigs along the road, was also struck down. The explosion was so tremendous that most of the inhabitants of that end of Seymour-street rushed out in alarm. CRICKET..--T HE EW RULES AND THE UMPIRES AT Loan's.—The subject of the altered rule with regard to the de livery of the ball, or rather the determination on the part of the committee of the Marylebone Club to enforce the old 10th rule, as amended, in respect to the bowler being " no-balled" if his hand shall be too high, has given rise to a general discussion. It would appear, too, that there was an indisposition amongst some of the umpires to carry out the particular rule, and, therefore, as the corn. mittee are anxious to avoid stultifying themselves by means of their own umpires not acting strictly up to the laws of the game, they assembled in the afternoon of Monday, when they unanimously passed the following resolutions :—" That in future the umpires be appointed by the committee and paid separately from the scorers." " That no player belonging to Lord's ground shall be permitted to play or stand as umpire in any match in which the laws of cricket, as laid down by the Mary lebone Cricket Club, are not strictly ad hered to." DEATH OF THE MAYOR OF WAESALL.-W O regret to state that Mr. Hervey, the respected Mayor cf Walsall, was drowned while bathing, at an early hour on Wednesday morning. This event is rendered still more lamentable by the fact that one of the persons who went with drags to find the body of the de_ ceased gentleman was drowned in the atte m pt. Th e d em i se of Mr. Hervey , m ore particularly under such circumstances, has oc casioned a deep feeling of regret throughout the uorough.
