GREY said that an inquiry had been made on s . :ubj ect, b ut t h e re p or t presented was so defective I lbjec he t. had sent back for further information on the SMITHFIELD MARKET REMOVAL BILL. () ? the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, 4 1 ! JAMES DUKE complained that since the Bill been sent down from the Select Committee a sehe isoB had been attached to it increasing the tolls at least Per cent., which he considered a most oppressive k f r ge• He should suggest that the schedule should be ed back to the Select Committee. 4 1 ;G. GREY thought the time to disc uss the l y o e u i ele was when the House was in Committee. He te tl d, however, object to have the schedule re ferred s !t to the Select Committee. t r JAMES DUKE then moved that the House re- Pe itself into Committee this day six months. 4 any one read the evidence they would that it was not strong enough to justifiy ° shutting up of a single shop. The decision ) %t t he Committee was carried only by a sing le castin g i ka , and in fact, considering that one of the Committee hi t member of the Government, who it was known was there for one purpose only, it was ti le 'Y accounted for. He acknowledged that if itto Y . could not prevent cattle passing through the to the day time they would deserve to have it shut 4 but the City bad offered to remove this. Ho hoped i, l . ll ouse would reconsider its decision, for he was con 4'ett that the Bill when carried out would lead to :erous evils, other markets would spring up and a of middle-men be created, and the public materially i t iered by th e change. He believed this was the first Otee in whio'l the Government had felt itself called 4 1 , 1 to advance public money to erect a market. Great ' had been felt as to the site of the new market , th 4 as to who the future Commissioners were to be , but Government had been obstinately silent on these ina w I)°o`, ,t ant points. He thought the best course to be taken 4 1 e1 be to withdraw the Bill, at least for the present, ; to allow the Corporation to amend the evils which re Complained of. j qr r. HUME thought that the Government were not ite l'aed in imposing the additional rates which here complained of without allowing them to be con theted by the Committee. Until that had been done wroce t3l3 ill ought not to be ps reserve of the Government eded with. He also corn 4itit?ed of the mysteriou regard to the site of the market. GREY still continued to think that the Corn mtt Cee of the whole House was the proper tribunal to h ilc ust the schedule. As regarded the site he must re st his former declaration that the Government had jbt Made the slightest approximation towards choosing aeosight for the new market. With regard to the pre motion, he begged to remind the House that the Jeet of the Bill had been fully discussed on a former 'ats ion . th kr, A. STAFFORD com pl a i ne d of th e introduction of w 0 new schedule of tolls at the eleventh hour. This w ts the m a i n qu estion of the Bill, and affected not only the Government and the City on either hand, but every Zs,sier who brought up a single sheep to the market , aid the wh o l e gener al public in the end. , CORNE WALL LEWIS thought it would be more tivenient to take the discussion on the separate qa uses when in Committee, and not to re-open the ; li teral question on the motion for the Speaker leaving 1 1 ! Chair. It was not intended to pay the Commissioners were to be appointed, neither would any grant of rile money be asked for the erection of the market. bring, however, withdraw the schedules now and them forward again on the report; but he could Z s ure the House that in the aggregate they really con "ted no increase on the rates. br. W. WILLIAMS entered a protest against the 4' en behalf of the Surrey side of the water. The I t t i /t ise had no right to force the inhabitants of that dis trict to a market four miles beyond the nort h side of 1 / 4 adon. tctr,FREWEN had been given to understand that this would not now be betore the House but for the `'acing vote of the chairman of the Select Committee, 1 1 1 41 under these circumstances, as the vast majority of e Metropolis was opposed to the Bill, he should sup- Pert the amendment. kr. W. FATTEN hoped the House would consider, Ow the S e lect Committee was nominated, before it al tfed itself to be influenced by the argument of the lion. M ember who had just sat down. It should be remem bered that at least a half of the Committee were op teksed to the Bill before it went before them; but the tl usirman was a purely disinterested person, who took o e interest in the Bill either one way or the other , a nd :the whole he thought the Committee had arrived at most impartial conclusion. Olt RICE should support the amendment , because " removal of the market would be a great inconveni- M ee to the public. air. Alderman SIDNEY trusted the House would ' g low him to say a few words on this m otion, as the resent was the only time that the Gover nment Bill had eo discussed in the House. The H ouse ou g ht to ob ,itrvo a sense of justice in its judicia l p roceedings, and Sfore th e y passed the Bill of pains and pen alties the y teould wait to hear what a r g uments could t ? adduced against it. Pass the Bill , and it would be ;1 1 tamount to telling the country that G overnment were opinion that the citizens were unfit to mana g e their o wn affairs; but he insisted that this Bill was an inter ference with the rights of the corporation which the con ll:titution did not sanction. The principl e of centraliza tion, which the Government was endeavouring to carry o ut in its domestic legislation, was highly objectionable; kid as the Bill was intended to push that principle a c lap further, he implored the House to rej ect it at once. 44 remo v ing the market from the centre of the metropolis, tts this Bill proposed, they would increase the nuisance !t :Present complained of thr eefold, while it would a cid to the expenses of the metropolis, and as the Bill Wts an act of the grossest injustice, under no circum stances ought it to be passed. Mr. BURROUGHES went into the Committee on NI Bill perfectly disinterested in the matter, and the conclusion he came to was the result of a long and watch kJ investigation. Mr. MASTERMAN, as one of the Members for the city of London, felt it to be his bounden duty to oppose the Bill. It unjustly interfered with the rights of his Constituents, and to pass it would be doing a great Wrong. The House then divided, when there appeared — For going into Committee .•• ... 64 Against it ••• ••• ••• ••• 26 Majority The House then went into Com mittee on the Bill. On clause 1 being proposed, Sir J. DUKE called upon the Government to say now and name in the Bill who were to be the Commissioners to carry out the Bill. Sir G. GREY said the Government had not fixed upon Any Commissioners yet, and he hoped it would never be necessary for them to do so, for he was not without some expectation that the City would eventually undertake the management of the Bill. Alderman SIDNEY assured the Right Hon. Baronet that the City would never undertake anything of the sort. They would not consent to manage a market so far off, in which they had no interest. After a few remarks from Mr. A. STAFFORD and Mr. ZonsTnn, Mr. CARDWELL said the necessity for a Commission could not arise for three years, and to name them now Would be absurd, because they might die in the interval. Mr. W. WILLIAMS repeated that the Bill would Only extend the principle of centralization, which ap peared to be in so much favour with the Government. After some observation from Mr. Bucu and Mr. P. MILKS, Mr.-V. SMITH could see no objection to naming the Commissioners now, inasmuch as in the event of the city of London not undertaking the administration of the Bill within six months, the Government would be bound to appointment. Sir IL VERNEY said gentlemen could not be named as Commissioners without being first consulted on the subject, but ho fully anticipated that then ity would u l t i ma t e ly see the expediency of tak in g u p the management of the market. Sir JAMES DUKE said there was another a reaso than why the Commissio ners should be named now, d was the Commissioners would have power to select the site for the new market . Now their selection might be highly objectionable, and he hoped they would be named now, so that the public might have an opportunity of ap proving or disapproving of them. Sir G. GREY was understood to intimate that the selection of the site would be subject to the approval of Government. The House then divided on the question that the firs douse stand part of the Bill, when there appeared — For the clause Against it -37 Majority • The clause was accordingly screed to. On clause 2, Mr. A. STAFFORD wished to know, before they proceeded fuether, where the site of the new market was to be. He thought both the questions, as well as who were to be the Commissioners, ought to be settled at once. At all events, the power of the Commissioners to select the site. should be confined to particular districts. Mr. MACKINNON thought it would be highly in judicious to disclose where the site was to be, because it would give rise teal l . sorts of speculations in the locality, an d increase the price of the land that might b© re quired for the market. He hoped, therefore, the time of the Committee would be no longer taken up on this subject.

THE SUN, SPORTING NOTES. No. LXIX. ODDS AND ENDS CONCERNING VARIOUS RACES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—At Newton yesterday the Golborno Stakes was a walk over for Medlock, and the Gold Cup a mere canter for the Abbess of Jervaux, as she won by something not much short of a dozen lengths. She is in the 100 sovs. Handicap on Friday, and at 6st 131 b, penalty included, is not to be despised. Her prin cipal opponents will be Oxford Blue at ist 31b, and Ring. leader at 6st 31h; Egret, Bst 21b, bas, I fancy, a little too much weight up; and Unity will not run. Le Juif, 6st 51b and 71b penalty, cannot be expected to accomplish the winning teat this time; although, if she runs, I have but little doubt she will cbtain a very forward place. My remarks on the Bibury Meeting yesterday were verified to the letter by the running. I ob served in Note No. 68 that I should "patronise the Aitch Bone" for the Champagne Stakes; that the Bibury Stakes would be " a canter fur Guardsman;" and that the Produce Stakes would " be won by the En terprise colt, the Knight of the Thistle filling the second place." Aitch Bone won the first event by a neck from Snarler and two others; Guardsman cantered over for the second event ; and the Enterprise colt beat the Knight of the Thistle and two others very cleverly for the third event. The " return lists" of to-day's racing at Stockbridge will, I fancy, place Bee Hunter and Cari boo first and second for the First Triennial; Lamartine and Glenhawk first and second for the Second Trien nial; and Houlakin or " a fielder " first, and Kingston second for the Third Triennial. My opinion on the Win chester events remains unaltered. I have reason to believe that the field for the Northumberland Plate will, as nearly as possible, be composed of the following :—Elthiron, 5 yrs, Bst 41b; Uriel, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b; Chantrey, 5 yrs, Ist 31b; Knight of Gwynne, 4 yrs, 7st 31b; Testator, 5 yrs, 6st 121 b; The Ebor, 4 yrs, 6st 61b; Jenny Lind, 5 yrs, 6st 41b; Abdallah, 4 yrs, 6st ; Cnieus, 3 yrs, sst 101 b; England's Glory, 3 yrs, sst 61b; Neasham, 3 yrs, sst 41b (d); Jack Leeming, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b; Knook Knoll, 3 yrs, sst ; and Cyclops, 3 yrs, 4st Sib. My opinion on their chances to-morrow; meanwhile I may as well observe that a middle weight is much more likely to carry off the Plate than a top or light weight. For the Liverpool Cup, Strongbow at ist 21b; Abbess of Jervaux at 6st 71b; Colsterdale at sst 71b; and Breba at sst, seem to me to be the best " in." I was not far from the bull's eye when I remarked, in my ob servations on the Goodwood Stakes on Friday last, that " not above three dozen or two score" would cry content to the weights imposed ; the number that have done so being one more than I calcu lated on, that is, forty-one. My particular fancies for the race, Vampyre and Borneo, will be found among the ac ceptances, as will Kick-up-the-Dust, Clarissa, and Nar cissus, the two forming my reserve. My Chester Cup cockboat, Duc-an-Durras also accepts; should he start, he will be found, in the company of Old Dan Tucker, in the front at the finish. Clasher, hall-brother to Clincher, by Launcelot, at his present price (20 to 1), is worth an investment for the St. Leger. He is well on his " pins," and will turn out a much better horse than Clincher. The betting last night and this morning was and is somewhat brisker than usual at the following prices. First Triennial-6 to 4on Cariboo, 2to 1 agst Beehunter. Second Triennial-2 to lon Lamar tine, 5 to 1 agst Phlegethon, 5 to 1 agst Glenbawk. Third Triennial-6 to 4,7 to 4, and 2to 1 agst King ston (taken freely), 3 to 1 agst Houlakin-5 to 1 agst The Chase. Northumberland Plate-7 to 2 agst Uriel, 8 to 1 each agst England's Glory, Testator, Jenny Lind, and Neasham; 12 to 1 agst Cyclops, 15 to 1 agst El thiron. July Stakes- 2 to 1 agst Phryne colt. Ches terfield Stakes-3 to 1 agst Lapidist, 3to 1 agat Am brose. Liverpool Cup-8 to 1 agst Strongbow, 10 to 1 agst Breba, 12 to 1 agst The Marquis, 12 to 1 agst Officious. Goodwood Stakes-12 to 1 each agst Yam pyre and Borneo, 15 to 1 each agst Harpsichord, Runny mede, Clarissa, and Kick-up-the-dust, 20 to 1 agst Bri tish Boy, 25 to 1 agat Unity. I am, Sir, yours, &c.

GREAT RACE BETWEEN THE CLARPERS, OF NEW CASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AND THE CHAMPION ROBERT COOMBE& CREW. In consequence of the disappointment expressed, owing to the Claspers being unable to contend in the Champion prize against the Coombes' crew owing to their breaking a thowl at the moment of starting, the committee, in order to gratify the wishes of the company, assisted by the gentlemen of the Universities, got up a purse of 401, to be rowed for by them and Coombes' crew. The match created the most lively interest, and a great deal of money was laid out at even. The Claspers 1 R. Coombes' The race amply repaid the subscribers for their libe rality; a greater was never seen upon the Thames. Claspers took their station at the Buckinghamshire shore, and both being in readiness, Mr. Egan, the umpire, gave the word for starting, and their oars "clipped" the water at the same moment. Nothing could be evener than the start, nor finer than the pace and style, the latter of which in both boats was of the most finished order. The Claspers kept close to their shore, and , the Coombes' party made their way down • the middle, and continued oar and oar to the: _Poplars, where by a most gallant effort the Claspers drew 'their boat's nose about half a length in advance. In this position, still at the same extraordinary pace, they continued pulling with all their might to the finish, which left the nose of Cuombes' boat level with No. lin the Claspers'. The greeting they received proved the gratification the ext•rtions of the rival crews had given. The distance was performed in time ordinarily occupied by an eight-oared boat--8i minutes.

The principal of these was between F. Lett and F. Cook, the former of Lambeth, the latter of Ox ford, for 251. aside, and turned out a capital match. Cook jumped away with a slight lead, which he in creased to two lengths, but his opponent rowed so gal lant a stern wager as to render the leading man at last downright powerless. Lett tackled him at the Poplars, and rowed so hard that Cook became exhausted, and could go no further. The other match was between Penn, of Oxford, and Emmoney, of Eton, and was won by the former easily. THE TEMPLE REGATTA.

His Majesty the King of the Belgians arrived a Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon on a visit to the Queen. His Majesty landed at Woolwich at two o'clock yester day afternoon from the Vivid steam-packet, commanded by Commander Smithett, from Ostend. His Majesty was accompanied by the Duke de Brabant, the Count de Flandres, and the PrinceSs Charlotte. The King was attended by Colonel de Moerkerko and Count Albert do Briey.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert walked yesterday in the garden of Buckingham Palace. • His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, attended by Mr. Birch, took a carriage drive yesterday. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, attended by Miss Hildyard, took an air ing..in an open carriage and four yesterday. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, left Buckingham Palace et seven o'clock, yesterday evening, to honour the Duke of Wellington with his company at the Waterloo Banquet at Apaley House. His Royal Highness was at tended by the Marquis of Abercorn, General Bowles, and Colonel Bouverie. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Keat, and his Serene Highness the Prince of Leiningen, dined with her Majesty last evening at Buckingham Palace. The Countess de Neuilly, the Duchess d'Orleans, and the Prince and Princess de Joinville visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday at Clarence House, St. James's. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council met yes terday at the Council-office. The Lords present were, the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, the Chan cellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, the Judge of the Ad miralty Court, and Sir Edward Ryan. A petition, M'Kellar v. Wallace (Bengal), to revoke order for leave to appeal. The appeals, Lomi v. Ashwell (Prerogative Court), and Rawut Urjum Singh r. Rawut Ghunsiam Singh (Bengal), were brought before their Lordships.

Robinson) has obtained the privilege for fifty years of erecting and ma naging lines of magnetic telegraph in the united kingdoms of Sweden and Norway. A company has been formed, in cluding some heavy capitalists of this city and Stockholm, and the work of erecting the line is to be at once commenced. There is reason to expect that a similar privilege will be ob tained from the Government of Denmark, and in all it is ex pected that some 3,000 miles of telegrap heninsula comm b unication Yankee will be conferred on the Scandinavian py enterprise.—New York Tribune.

THURSDAY JUNE l9, 1851. YAIt,LIA. EVEN ING, SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. The annual meeting of the friends of this society was held yesterday afternocn, at the rooms, 21, Aegent street; Lord Brougham in the cbait. Among the gentlemen present were the Earl of Ilar rowby, Lord Beaumont, Mr. Hume, M.P., Mr. Ewart, M.P., Mr. W. Hawes; Mr. Bothell, Mr. James Stuart, Mr. Commissioner Phillips, Mr. Commissioner Fane, Mr. Lowe, Sze. The Noble CHAIRMAN opened the proceedilgs by reading the report of the committee for the pa4t year. The length of the document prevents its insertion en tire, and we therefore give the following extracts : " Your council, with a view of introducing a system by which cheap and speedy execution of justice could be obtained, has not hesitated to promote the es;ablish meat and to endeavour to extend the jurisdiction of the county courts. " Those institutions have not only been the instru ments of good, but they are destined to work a great change in the administration of the law. Those courts have already established themse!ves in the affections of the people by the prompt, cheep, and effeetivejustice there administered, and the council have gladly ap pointed a committee to co-operate with their friends in both Houses of Parliament, to consider in what manner their jurisdiction may be enlarged in equity as well as in law, and to assist the object fro which they were estab lished. Not only will they be rendered more effective, but they will be the means by which a reform of the su perior courts will be slowly ani certainly established. " The procedure of the superior courts has engaged much of the attention, first o the common law com mittee, and next of the special committee appointed to inquire whether the principles cf law and equiy can be administered in the same court tad by the sane form of procedure. It is quite possible that in the course of the investigations of the society this subject would have presented itself for investigation but the immediate oc casion of the appointment of the committee was the visit of Mr. D. D. Field from Ametica to this country in autumn last. It had been previously known that in the State of New York, upon the mommendation of a com mission appointed for that pureese by the Legislature, the common law and equity weie no longer administered in district courts, but that tie judges were intrusted with the remedies of both comes to enable them to do justice to the suitors This reform of the law the coun cil considered as highly interesting, and they invited Mr. Field, who was one of the conrciissioners, to give the society an account of it; with vhich request he readily complied. " The information thus given was so striking and so important to the council, that i; demanded their utmost care and attention. They appeinted the special com mittee alluded to to consider the whole subject, and they also instituted an inqury in America as to the operation of the Now York Cide. In this they wers assisted by Mr. Lawrence, the Ambassador from the United States, who kindly undertook to forward the questions framed by the committee for the purpose of eliciting answers from persons tie best qualified to give sound and impartial opinions. The council have con tinued to receive from many sources information on this subject, and a body of the most valuable evidence has been collected, the result of which is that the council now state their opinion to be that this reform has been eminently successful. Eleven of the judges of the superior courts of the State of New York have expressed these sentiments—one of them personally at a meeting of the society on the 14th of April; and although that has not been confirmed by the unanimous opinion of the profession in that State, yet the council believe that the large majority of the bar of New York, as well in number as in talent and eminence, have ex pressed a clear and unhesitating opinion in favour of the change. To this it should be added that the public have given their concurrence to it, antno better proof can be given than its adoption by many of the most intelligent States of the Union, in which it has been carried by ac clamation. The distinction between common law and equity will not exist much longer in the United States. But the council would ask, how long will the distinction exist in this country? In many of her colonial depen dencies it could not longer endure. In the most impor tant dependency of the Crown the Chief Justice has, in a private letter to the president of the society, declared that he should be very glad to adopt the system, which he thinks simple and practical. This is confirmed in stronger terms in another communication to a Member of the Senate, in which it is stated that this amalgama tion is a panacea for most of the defects of equity proce dure.' This opinion comes from India. It is gaining ground in British North America, and even in England and Ireland the legislation of the present session has gone in some way toward it by increasing the jurisdic non of the county courts. In Scotland the distinction never existed; and the committee have come to the con clusion that justice, whether legal or equitable, may be with advantage administered in the same court, and that all liti gation may be subjected to the same form of procedure; and the committee are prepared to support this opinion by the outlines of an act of procedure. The council ex press their regret that there is no department in the State charged with the consideration and preparation of measures so important to the welfare of the suitors. The committee, as the result of their labours and inquiries, have also come to the conclusion that they would re commend the evidence of the parties to a suit being taken in furtherance of justice. With regard to the subject of the patent laws some progress has been made towards a proper solution of the question. It was pro posed last year to establish law schools, but the council have been impeded in doing this by the want of funds; but they have reason to believe that the schools would be opened in November next, and they trust that the public would aid them in the accomplishment of so im portant an object." The conclusion of the report consisted in an acknow ledgment by the council of the efficiency of the com mittee, and the expression of a hope that their exertions to cheapen and simplify the administration of justice would be successful. After the reading of the report, Lord BROUGHAM said that it was usual for the chair man to address the meeting after the report, but he should wish on this occasion to be excused, both on ac count of ill-health and the fatigue consequent upon reading the very long document which they had just heard. In lieu of an address, however, he proposed to read two quotations from different documents. The first, a most important one, was from a letter from his revered and most learned as well as noble friend, the late Lord Chief Justice of England. Lord Denman, which he had received in the course of a correspondence on the subject of the Evidence Bill and the County Court system. The second qotation was from a most popular work. The extract from Lord Denman's letter was as follows:—" I take the fact to be clear that the people must prefer the county courts to the common law courts Tho proof of this fact is, that the former tribunals swarm with suitors, while the latter are deserted (com paratively). Another fact of a more general nature is the destitution of the bar, the ruin of many now in busi ness, and the disappointment of many more in their just expectations, and, finally, the annihilation of a most valuable class of society as it has existed for the advan tage of the public. If the interest of the bar comes in competition with that of the public, there cannot be one moment's hesitation as to which must be sacrificed. Neither they nor any other set of men have any vested right in misgovernment or maladministration; they have no privilege to defeat, or even to delay for a single hour, a well concerted improvement. Could we suppose the legal system so perfect, so justly appreciated, that all persons would spontaneously act right upon all occa sions from knowing that otherwise the law would force them promptly to do so—a blessing ascribed by Horace to the rule of Augustus, the barrister must then turn his power to some other account, nor breathe a mur mur, nor ask a farthing of compensation, still less de mand the restoration of the bad old system. But a State that should make one of its tribunals cheap and efficient, while it condemned the other to a dilatory and expensive course of procedure and trial, would be deemed doubly impolitic and regardless of the popular welfare— first, in not placing both upon the most favourable foot ing for the attainment of justice, and, secondly, for causing any reduction in the learned men who formerly practised in the court now so fatally eclipsed, and who formed a body capable of effectual resistance to oppres sion and of guarding the rights of all. I might dwell upon the value of the bar in a collateral respect, in the service of the public departments, in the various relations of private society, and as furnishing a constant succes sion of gentlemen competent to fulfil the judicial func tion through all its range up to the most arduous and elevated seat of justice. The education and habits of the bar have formed the present judges of our common law courts, as well as recorders and other presidents of jus tice in our local jurisdictions. The fact of an increasing favour for the courts of the inferior jurisdiction, at the expense of the superior, is not merely to be traced to the power of examining parties to their own causes: there is a still more operative, because a grosser and more palpable, cause for the same notorious event—the enormous costs imposed on the suitor in the superior courts. Can we expect a sane man to resort to a court which refuses to hear him and his adversary, though positively they may be the only two persons in the world who know the truth, and which makes him pay an enormous amount for admission into its precincts, when there is another court, close at hand and always sitting, in which he may s t a te his own case as he under stands it, where he may call his adversary to declare the whole merits of the disputed transaction, and, finally, recover his own at one twentieth part of the cost? The evil points out its own remedy; if we are right in our premises, and suitors keep aloof from courts of unim peachable knowledge and integrity because they are ex clusive and expensive, the conclusion is obvious. Make them open to receive information from all, cheap enough to be acceptable to all, and the same amount of business will be found to flock thither as was seen before this un expected and novel rivalry created by the Legislature. I cannot help feeling sanguine in my own opinion as to the success of your great measure for receiving the evi dence of parties; for, looking to the names and the character of the Commissioners for inquiring into the practice of pleading, I fully anticipate such a reform of abuses—such a sweeping abolition of fiction and verbi age—those pets of English lawyers—and the establish ment of such a natural and intelligible course of proce dure in our courts as will be satisfactory to the public and conducive to the honour and interest of the , pro fession." His learned and lamented friend in refer ring to the measure as his (Lord Brougham's) had not done himself justice, as the measure was his own, and was a corollary upon his Act of 1842. The second ex trace to which he should refc r showed strongly the in jurious effects of an unjust and incomplete judicial sys tem. The writer, speaking of France, said, " The people having borne their load so long that it was sup posed that they never could form the wish, much less even possess the power, to shake it off, all opportunity of removing their grievances and gaining their good-will was habitually neglected. What, if given in time, would have more than contented all parties was withheld until nothing that could be safely ordered could satisfy any; and the whole system which, with timely xefgrintitio) would have itustalned KTIcl improved into a solid scheme of useful polity was suddenly swept away—King, nobles, feudal rights, and financial exactions, clerical power, and judicial institutions—all the good and all the evil that has been accumulating for fourteen centuries —a sad spectacle to the observer, but a useful lesson to those who, from fear of change, resist all improvements and deem it safer to encounter the risk of revolution than submit to the necessity of reform." He begged to thank them for the attention with which they had listened to him, and to assure them of his deep interest in the pro gress of the society. Lord BEAUMONT moved, and Mr. HusrE briefly se conded, the adoption of the report. Both gentlemen de clared their warm interest in the proceedings of the society, and their earnest desire to see a speedy but judi cious reform in our present imperfect system. Mr. BETHELL moved the second resolution— " That this society considers it highly desirable that a school of law and jurisprudence should be formed in connexion with it." One of the great evils in our present legal system was its division into so many classes, each distinct from the other. There was civil law, criminal law, the law of equity, and ecclesiastical law, and each of these required the attention and skill of a distinct class of persons. Law students at present were rarely instructed in that liberal knowledge of jurisprudence and comprehensive system which formed the basis of all law. Their ideas were narrowed, and it was even preferred by attorneysand solicitors that counsel should have a good practical knowledge of one branch rather than a general and com prehensive understanding of the whole. He thought that schools and lectures in connexion with the society were most desirable. They would raise the character of the law student, besides conferring a benefit on society at large. Mr. LOWE seconded this resolution, which was also agreed to. The Earl of HAttrtowßY also addressed the meeting, as did several other gentlemen, in support of resolutions advocating various reforms of the law. The annual election of officers then took plane, and after the usual compliment to the Chairman the meeting separated. ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. The thirty-fourth anniversary of this excellent society was held yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great- Queen-street, where a sumptuous dinner was provided. In the absence of the Duke of Buccleuch, who had been announced in the tickets of invitation as the chair man, the Right Hon. Lord Kinnaird kindly took the chair. Among the company present we observed Colonel Sir Duncan M'Dougall, Sir John H. Maxwell, Bart., Lieut.- Colonel T. Matheson, M.P., Captain 11. H. Maxwell, Captain Charles Forbes, J. G. Lockhart, Esq., ALP., George Bain, Esq., &c. We regretted to find that the party was not so numerous as on former occasions. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. G. F. Taylor, assisted by Miss Wells, Miss J. Wells, Mr. Godden, and Mr. Farquharson Smith. The grace having been sung on the removal of the cloth, the usual toasts followed. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, intimated that his Royal High ness had consented to become president of the society. Sir D. M'DOEGALL and Sir J. H. MAXWELL returned thanks respectively for the Army and Navy. The Noble CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, their president," in highly complimentary terms. The children, whose appearance excited universal ad miration, and who were preceded by the Mackay, her Majesty's piper, were paraded before the company. The boys numbered 67, and the girls 50. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of the even ing, namely, " Prosperity to the institution," remarking that the best appeal he could make in its behalf was by pointing to the healthy, robust, and happy looks of the children around them. He, however, felt it necessary to state a few of the reasons why the directors now ear nestly appealed to the company and the public for support. He really did think that when it was remembered that they were bringing up in a sound moral, religious education so many of the youth who were connected with their country, at all events no Scotchman could refuse to contribute to its support; while when they considered that the institution had been the means of educating many of those who had fought the battles of this country, no Englishman who had it in his power could reasonably object to do the same thing.—(Cheers.) The institution, ho was sorry to say, was considerably in arrear, which he thought had arisen, as was very often the case in charities of this nature, from the circumstance of the managers having forgotten themselves at a period when the asylum was in the midst of great pros perity. He therefore regretted to say that the in stitution was not in so flourishing a condition as he could desire. The directors, in the height of their prosperity, had devoted more care and expense to providing house accommodation for the children than to promoting their education. In fact, there had been a larger number of children collected in the asylum than they were fairly able to support, and ho believed much of their difficul ties could be directly traced to that cause, because he was happy to say that the annual income of the institu tion had not fallen off, but remained as large as it was in former years.—(Hear, hear.) It could not be deni ed that hitherto they had ' been keeping up an establish ment that was too expensive for their means, but last year the directors vigorously addressed them to reform ing the management, and a most able re port was drawn up by certain members, includ ing the Chisholm, which recommended that greater economy should be exercised in the arrange ments of the asylum.—(Hear, hear.) He was rejoiced to say that the recommendation had been most fully carried out, and up to the present time there had been a saving of somewhere about 7001. a year, which at the end of the current year they confidently hoped would be increased to 9001.—(Cheers.) They had been able to effect that saving without reducing the number of chil dren, and he was satisfied that, in the end, it would turn out that their difficulties hod only been of a temporary character.—(llear, hear.) They must all put the shoulder to the wheel again, and strive to attain addi tional support, as he had already done in the City.— (Hear, hear.) They must not confine their energies to Scotland, but extend them also to this country, and ul timately, he felt convinced that the institution would once more be restored to a state of prosperity.—(Hear, bear.) With these few remarks, he would give them " Prosperity to the Caledonian Schools."—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with most enthusiastic applause. Other toasts having been given and responded to, it was announced that the subscriptions for the evening amounted to nearly 5001., including donations from his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch of 100 guineas, the friends of Sir J. 11. Maxwell of 481., the chairman (Lord Kin naird) of 10 guineas, and from Mr. Lockhart, Captain Forbes, and Sir George Clerk, of 10 guineas each. The Queen's piper and the juvenile band of the society were in attendance, and at intervals played several spirit-stirring pibrochs and reels; whilst the two Misses Wells, Mr. G. F. Taylor, Mr. Godden, and Mr. Far quharson Smith, delighted the audience with the pretty glees, songs, and ballads which they sang in the course of the evening. The spirited style in which Miss 11. Wells sang " Bonnie Dundee" awoke to enthusiasm the patriot feelings of the Scottish portion of the audience, and she was loudly encored. The touching Scottish song of " What's a' the steer, kimmer" was sung with equal taste by the two sisters. The company separated about twelve o'clock. --- THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The receipts at the Crystal Palace yesterday fe, somewhat short of the amount taken on Tuesday, buy 2,8971. 7s. is a largo sum to collect from ls. contribu tions, and the police returns give 62,663 as the num bers that entered the building. Had it not been for the unfavourable state of the weather during the - latter part of the day, we should no doubt have had to record a still greater result. A rather serious accident took place in the machinery department, one of the attendants en gaged in the working of a brick-making machine having had his arm caught in it while in motion and badly fractured in two places. Through the liberality of the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen 60 of the children of Emanuel Hospital, Westminster, have been enabled to visit the Exhibition. Such examples as this case and that of the London Orphan Asylum, men tioned yesterday, present are highly worthy of imita tion, and it is to be hoped that before the Crystal Palace closes the children of all our great public charities will have had an opportunity afforded them of examining with the quick perceptions of youth a scene so instruc tive. The Royal Commission, the Executive Committee, Messrs. Fox and Henderson, Mr. Paxton, the Foreign Commissioners, the foreign jurors, and, in fact, all con nected with the origin, the progress, the completion, and the success of the Great Exhidition, go down to Bir mingham to-day to partake of the hospitality and to survey the chief manufacturing establishments of that important town. The arrivals were as follows: From 10 to 11 o'clock 18,637 From 11 to 12 From 12 to 1 From 1 to 2 From 2 to 3 From 3 to 4 From 4 to 5 Total to 5 o'clock ........................... 61,895 From sto 6 o'clock .......... . ............. 1,105 Total number of visitors about... 63,000 The number doubtless would have been greater but for a chilly rain which began to fall in the middle of the day. The visitors were of the same class as usual — rather the middle than the working class. There were several large charity schools present. It appears that the vast concourse of visitors on shil ling days does not at all prevent the resort of season ticket holders and others of the higher classes. Yester day we observed t he Dowager Countess of Carlisle, Lord and Lady Cranworth, the Earl and Countess of Rosse, Lord Sudeley, the Earl of Chichester, Lord Hopetoun, and many others of similar position, The amount taken during the day was £l9 19 0 For season tickets .............

Stones fell the size o f the common mineral door knob, some spheroidal, others bad the appearance of jagged ice. Lambs and poultry were killed wherever exposed. The cattle ran around frantic and bellowing their hides being severely lacerated by the hail stones. One hailstone which was found weighed four and a half ounce!! !

AMERICAN NEW S. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY NIGHT. The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, passed Holyhead this afternoon at six o'clock, bringing the mails and advices from New York to the 7th instant, on which day she left that port for England. She brings over 150 passengers and 827,000 dollars. The Pacific steam-ship arrived out in nine days and 18 hours. A destructive fire had taken place at Cambridge, Massachussetts. There is no altered feature in any of the markets since the departure of the Africa. Cotton has slightly receded. Exchange was firm. Business generally favourably reported of. MEXICO. We have received from Mexico files of El Monitor Republicans, Le Trait d'Union, and El Universal, to the 17th inst. We translate from them the following news: — The question of extraordinary powers, to permit the Government to extricate itself from its difficult position —where are the finances of the country ?—was not re solved at the latest dates. This special committee pre sented the report on the 14th ult. The committee con ceded to the Government the extraordinary powers, but limit them more carefully than the House of Deputies ' did. Thus the Executive Power is authorised to dis charge the paid einploy&, and to call others without a salary; to lower the tariff of the Custom House to five per cent. below the tariff of the United States; to re ceive the 1,680,000 dolls. detained upon the remaining American indemnity ; to pay the interior creditors, but, after their consent, not individually, but by classes; to occupy the national property; to pursue the application of the law upon the public credit; to take the revenue of tobacco and mints, but giving an indemnity to the present administrations•, to suppress the direct taxes, and substi tute in place indirect taxes, &c. This report was dis cussed for a long time, and was voted by twenty-seven against nineteen votes. The discussion of the articles followed then, and it appeared, after the first resolution, that the Senate would adopt it without many changes. The House of Deputies, for the question on the treaty of Tehuantepec, had resolved that the report of the special committee should be privately discussed. This report was adopted with some slight modifications. -------=-- TERMINATION OF THE INQUEST ON THE FALMER RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

NAVAL .INTELLIGENCE THE SCREW-FRIGATE VULCAN.—There UFO some very distressing reports afloat at Portsmouth respecting the safety of the Vulcan, iron steam-transport, Master- Commander Penn, which sailed for the Cape, w i t h troops, on the 12. th of March. We believe that there is not the smallest foundation for these reports, as there is scarcely time sufficient elapsed since her sailing for the news of her arrival at the Cape to have arrived in Eng land. The probable time of her passage would be eighty days out and home; but if she got short of coals going out she would have to touch at Rio for a supply which would delay her a fortnight or three weeks.— Herald. Birkenhead steam-transport, Master-Commander Sal mon, has bent sail,, and is all ready for service. It is not yet known whether she will proceed to Cork, or whether she will take on board the 12th Lancers at Portsmouth. She has room far 600 troops, and, being fitted with the distilling galley,will carry sufficient pro visions and stores for that number of men for so long a voyage as the Cape. Bulldog steam-sloop, is taking on board her tanks and sea stores alongside tho yard jetty at Portsmouth, and. is expected to be commissioned soon. Columbine, 16, and Arab, 12, have been taken into dock at Chatham, to be repaired. Herald surveying-ship, Captain Kellett, CB was paid off into ordinary on Monday. Tiger steam frigate is coaling in the basin at Ports mouth; she has taken on board her stores, and probably will be tried about Monday next. Captain Henderson will take her into the Channel for a few days to test her stability and qualities. She still has a alight list, but looks like a fine vessel, and will, perhaps, answer well when down in the water to her load line; but, as we have before reported, it will be difficult to keep her upright when light. She has been painted similarly t o the Argus steam-sloop, which vessel is in the basin tale.. ing on board her sails and sea stores ; aho will be tried next week. Retribution, 28, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, is getting ready at Portsmouth, and will probably bend sails to-day. Wellesley, 72, Captain Goldsmith, was towed into Chatham harbour on Saturday afternoon by the Hecate, steam-sloop, Commander G. S. Hand; and African steam-tug. The Hecate remains. No day has yet been named for paying off the Wellesley. The brig Berlin, Mr. John Lett master, arrived at Chatham on Saturday from Leght)rn with timber for the dockyard. PORTSMOU TH , WEDNESDAY.—The Stag freight - ship, Captain Baker, passed through Spithead this morning from Cowes on her way to Halifax, Nova Scotia, with detachments of troops. Atter the troops had embarked it was discovered there was no surgeon on board. The ship was detained at Cowes upwards of a week by this occurrence, coasting a large sum for demurrage. A. surgeon was forwarded eventually from one of the Chan nel Islands. The Stag had draughts of the 72d and 97th regiments on board. The freight-ships Charlotte, 850 tons, and Berkshire, 483 tons, are taken up for the embarkation of the 12th Lancers (now at Winchester) at this port on Monday next for the Cape. Seven volunteers each from the 4th Dragoon Guards, Ist and 2d Dragoons, 4th Light Dee gooni, Bth Hussars, and 16th and 17th Lancers joined the 12th Royal Lancers at Winchester on Monday, an d seven men each from the 2d and 3d Dragoon Guards, 11th Hussars, and 13th Light Dragoons, on the follow.. ing day, to complete their number. This regiment has been supplied with double-barrelled carbines for service at the Cape. The Brisk, newly launched steam-sloop, arrived off St. Helen's this morning, in tow of the Monkey tug, on her way to Scotland to get her engines. APPOINTMENT.

During May the number of deaths registered in each week in the metropolis was about 1,000; since the end of that month it has decreased by slow degrees, having been in the first week of June 961, and in the week end ing last Saturday showing a further decline to 931. In the ten weeks of 1841-50 corresponding to last week, the average was 854, compared with which the mortality in the present return is still heavy; but if a correction be made in proportion to increase of population, the average becomes 932, and the number of deaths in last week al most exactly coincides with it. The decrease on the week immediately preceding is perceptible in deaths arising from diseases of the organs of respiration, the number in this class having fallen from 161 to 139; and also, within the two weeks, phtbisis or consumption, which is placed in the tubercu lar class, having been fatal successively to 146 and 127 persons. But the class of affections of the respi ratory, organs exhibits still a considerable excess above the average, which is 107; and in the case of bronchitis, which has fallen to 51, a reference to the deaths in corresponding weeks of ten years will show that the number never rose in any instance above 43, and that generally it was less than 35. The mortality from pneumonia also continues greater than has been usual at this rather advanced season of the year, the number of fatal cases ascribed to it in this return being 68, which is more than occurred in any of the corre sponding weeks, and 16 more than the average. In the zymotic or epidemic class of diseases small pox was fatal to 15 children, and to four persons above fifteen years of age. In Holbrook -court, near Totten ham-court-road, a family mentioned by the registrar resides, in which, out of eight children, th while of the who have been vaccinated have escape d the dise a se, remaining five who have not been vaccinated three have died. The place is remarkable for filth, deficient venti lation, and want of drainage. The total number of fatal cases enumerated this w the k as duo to epidemi cs is 19,6, which scarcely exceeds corrected average; and among these measles counts 33; hoopiug-cough, 40 ; diarrheas and dysentery, 16 ; typhus, 35,; and scarlatina, which has become more fatal, 24. The following are the particulars of a case of cholera : In St. Mary, Newington, at 9, Swan-street, on th e 10th of June, a p ainter and glazier, aged 48 years, died of " cholera maligns, after 24 hours' illness." Between the 7th and 12th June inclusive sev en pen sioners died in the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, the y o ungest of whom was sevent y y ears of ego, and the oldest seventy-eight.
