SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY, JULY 17.—The attendance to the exhibition of implements yesterday was greater than that of the precer:ing day, and the sale of the articles was com mensurate with the numbers at the show. The council dinner took place in the Music-hall of the town, in Market-square, at five o'clock. The dinner, which was supplied by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London Tavern, was of the first description, and was served up in an ad mirable manner. Three ~hundred nol,L men and gentlemen were present. His Grace the Duke of Richmond (the President of the Society) took the chair, the vice-chair being filled by Earl Spencer. The cloth having been withdrawn, the Noble CuAramAN gave the usual loyal and patriotic toast=. The Noble CHAIRMAN then read the award of the judges in relation to the cattle to be shorn to-morrow. The Noble CHeiestartthen - said,that having read the list, it now became his duty to propose the health of the successful competitors in cattle, and as the Hon. Mr. Nugent, of Hyham ground, had gained the greatest number of prizes, he pro posed to couple his name with the toast.— ( Hear, hear.) Ile was in hopes that he should have had to couple the name of his Noble Friend Lord Hill with this toast, but as it was known that his Lordship disliked speaking very much--( Laughter ) he had no doubt he willingly gave up any right he might have in this respect to the Hon. Gentleman to whom lie had already referred. He gave, " The Hon. Mr. Nugent, and the success ful competitors in cattle."—( Applause. ) The Hon. Mr. NUGENT acknowledged the toast. He most cheerfully came forward, though at the same time lie could not forget that he stood there in the glare of a nobleman, who was not only one of the most successful competitors in this depart ment, but who was the representative wlitee memory would ever remain unstained in the affections of the people of that neighbourhood.—( Applause.) It was of course a matter of exultation and pride, to know that he was called upon to speak to this toast, because he felt that he owed it to his attempt to improve the breed of long-horned cattle, which hail almost been forgotten.--( Hear. ) He had fostered that breed under peculiar circumstances, and at considerable expense, but lie was pleased to find that their importance was row generally acknowledged, and that they were now in a position to main tain their capabilities and pints along with the other breeds of this country.—(Cheers.) Earl SPENCER next rose. He said he was sure the com pany would rnst, think he did his duty es their Vice-Pre sident if he allowed the Noble Chairman to propose the next toast, which would otherwise fall to him, and need not ti 11 them, that when it was fo un d, as th e l as t list of awards proved, that his Grace was the most successful competitor in the award, it would be rather awkward to call on the Noble Duke to propose his own health.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear.") He was sure that under such circumstances they were all satisfied that their Noble Chairman's health ought to be drunk coupled with the toast of the successful competitors in sheep. He had acted as steward in this department, and in that capacity he had seen all the stock, which scarcely any body else had done; and he would tell them that it was no mean honour to have won a public one. The show of Southdown this year was equal to any that they had ever had, and the whole show, although it might not be so numerous as on some former occasions, was equal to any former one in the excellence of the specimens shown ; and he was sure every gentleman would say, when he saw them to-morrow, that there never was a show more worthy the attention of the agriculturist than this was. He begged, in conclusion, to propose " The health of the Duke of Richmond, and the successful com petitors in sheep."—( Great applause.) The Duke of RICHMOND said he was extremely obliged to his Noble Friend for having proposed his health on that occasion. He was about, when interrupted by his Noble Friend, to pro pose the health of Mr. Handley, who had gained snore prizes than he had for sheep ; but the Noble Earl having proposed his health, and the company having responded to it in so marked a manner, he could not but feel much gratified at the circum stance.—( Hear.) In reply to such a compliment be begged to be permitted to say that he was proud on every occasion to send stock to the shows of the Royal Agricultural Society, because he believed by doing so, and by sending that stock from a distant part of the country to this locality, they would, by comparing, think their own stock not so good as they might otherwise suppose them to be. He had gone that day with his Noble Friend, the Earl of Powis, over a portion of his estate —a better farmed estate he had not seen in any part of the country—and doing so they called upon one of the Noble Earl's tenants, who showed them his sheep. He (the Duke of Richmond) observed that the sheep were not of the most Perfect symmetry. The farmer denied this, and 'offered to show as good wethers as any that he (the Chairman) could produce.—( A laugh.) He recommended him to wait till he had seen his, the next afternoon, and he would venture to say that when he had seen them, he would be obliged to bias for not entering into the bargain which he had proposed.—(Loud laughter.) It was natural for every farmer to think that the stock he was daily in the habit of seeing in his own farm-yard were the best in the world, and it was only by comparison that they could see the mistake under which they laboured. This was one of the great advantages of this society, and he believed much good had resulted to the country in consequence. Ile had long been a Southdowner. He had shown his stock on many occasions. He had often been beaten, and he had won sometimes. He would still continue to show, whether beaten or otherwise, because that by showing lie did good to the agriculture of the country.—( Hear. ) He had told them that he was proud of being a competitor there, but he felt more pride at receiving from gentlemen to whom he was, he might say, unknown, such a mark of their esteem as that which they had displayed towards him that evening. He hoped they would accept from him the expression of his heartfelt gra titude for the compliment they had paid him.—( Applause. ) The Noble Chairman having read the prizes awarded respect ing pigs, said that the contest was a " dead heat" between Lord Hill and Mr. Fisher Hobbs, who was, by the way, as honest and straightforward a tenant-farmer as any in England. Ile had great pleasure in proposing the healths of Lord Hill and Mr. Fisher Hobbs. _ _ Lord Him. expressed his acknowledgments, and said that but for the existence of the Royal Agricultural Society, he should not have done anything to advance the interests of agriculture.—( Hear.) Mr. FISHER HOBBS also expressed his acknowledgments. Mr. ORMSBY GORE proposed " the health of the exhibitors of implements." In doing so, he said, in reply to the argu ment used as to the use of machinery being calculated to di minish labour, that, on the contrary, it had, wherever it was brought into operation, increased the demand for manual labour.—( Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in saying that the more improvements that were made, ar.d the more valuable the implements became, the greater would be she call for manual labour.—(Hoar, hear.) The engines employed in agriculture had been used with great advantage in our colonies, and the result was, that hundreds and thousands of acres had been brought into useful operation, ' which would not otherwise have been the case.—( Hear.) Ile congratulated them upon the very great exhibition of implements which had been shown on the present occasion. Mr. RANSaME, of Ipswich, expressed his acknowledgments, on the part of the exhibition. H e p ropose d " t h e h ea l t h o f th e s t ew ards of departments."—( A pp l ause. ) Mr. SHILLEY, on the part of the stewards, returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN said that Lord Kenyon had offered a pre mium of 201. for the best essay on the use of gorse as food for cattle, horses, and sheep, and the award was now about to be read. [The seal of the letter which contained the award was then broken, when it was found that the successful essayist was Mr. O. Roberts.] In continuation, he said he was sure that they would agree with him in thinking that this was a subject of great importance in a healthy district, and one that had not hitherto occupied much of the attention of the agriculturist. — (Hear.) He would here observe that when the British army were engaged in the Peninsular war, they were frequently without corn or hay for their horses, and without having much experience as agriculturists, they gave them what they could get, and that was only bruised gorse. The essay would be published in the journals of the Society, and he had only now to propose, the health of Lord Kenyon, who had so liberally come forward with a premium in reference to a subject, the ex position of which mu s t b e of great value and importance to his neighbouis and tenants.--( H ear, hear. ) Lord KENYON returned thanks. The compliment which had been conferred upon hiro was greatly increased in conse quence of the source fro m w h ence it had emanated.—( H ear, hear.) The motive that influenced him in giving the prize was, that it was important to the small farmers of Wales, being adapted to the soil, and requiring nothing but labour. Though neglected at home, it was not so abroad, for in the Peninsula, where the Noble Chairman had fought side by side with the great men, who had preserved the liberties of Europe— ( Cheers)—in that country they had a saying, " That an acre of gorse was better than an acre of oats."—( Hear. ) The Hon. Mr. CLIVE proposed the health of Earl Spencer. ..—(Cheers.) Whether as President or Vice-President of the Society, or as Steward of the Yard, or indeed in any situa tion in which the Society was interested, there would the Noble Earl be found, working out its welfare. The Society did good in various w a y s . ~y these annual meetings they formed friendships —they removed p re j u dices, and caused a n i n terchange of opinion s ; and, in short, they brought farmers from all parts of the kingdom to become united together ; and he would remind them that the tenant-farmer would not be ex pected to undertake experiments unless there was a prospect of li , s being remunerated thereby. —( Hear, hear.) It could not be supposed the farmer would expend his means for the benefit of the country , without any r egar d to hi s own i n t erests .

DUBLIN, JULY I S.—ORA NG E PROCESSIONS.—INQUEST AT AaaeAGR.-A letter from Armagh, dated Monday even ing, contains the following : " The inquest on the body of John Boyle commenced this day at twelve o'clock, before Mr. Magee, the coroner. The Earl of Gosford, and several other magistrates of the county were in attendance. The first witness was David Cassidy, but from the number of witnesses at both sides, the inquiry will be a protracted one. It is stated that another of the persons wounded died this morning." NEWRY, JULY 14.—This day, at three o'clock, P. M., a body of about fifty Orangemen came down the mountain from Altoaveagh, beating drums and firing random shots. Many of them were dressed with sashes. They had one large flag. At the corner of Kiln-street (on the borders of the town) they wheeled about and fired several rounds opposite the Court house. By this time a crowd began to collect of the Liberal party, a great part of whom were women and bays. Hoot ing and hissing then commenced, and stones began to fly from both sides. The Orangemen then retreated up Doran s-hill, each party advancing and retreating alternately, amid showers of stones. Some windows were broken. At this time they received information that the people were about to surround them, therefore they prudently marched, or rather decamped, up the hill again to Altnaveagh, where they went through the mockery of a sham battle. • There was not a single policeman to be seen during the whole affray. ORANGE MAGISTRATES AT PROCESSIONS. The Dublin Evening Post, referring to the appearance of several magistrates as active partisans in the processions on the 12th of July, says:—" Two Orange papers, the Belfast Chro nicle and Newry Telegraph state that the Orange procession at Lisburn, comprised, it is said, of 50,( 00 persons, was headed by James Watson, EN., justice of the peace, and deputy lieutenant, on horseback. One of the flags exhibited bore the inscription No compromise with Popery.' We deem it ne cessary to call the attention of the Lord-Lieutenant to this matter." THE WEATHER. . This is St. Swithin's day, and we have not had a shower ! The weather seems settled, and the harvest prospects are ex cellent. THE INQUEST AT BALLINHASSIG. The inquiry was resumed on Monday (yesterday) morning, when the examination of witnesses on the part of the police was cont inued. Thomas Hornibrook, examined by Mr. SCANNELL—I am clerk of Ballinahoy church, and keep. a school at Tulig. My house commands a view of the cross and dispensary. I was standing at the front of my house about eight o'clock on the evening of the fair day. I saw a large crowd of persons about the fair gap to the dispensary and all about. I think there were hundreds there. I would say over a hundred, and per haps nearly two hundred. There was a great deal of noise, agitation, and bustle. I heard the word "bouile" come from the crowd. The crowd appeared to be moving towards the dispensary. I had a view of the garden behind the dispen sary. I saw a good many persons getting hitt) it. There were at the same time persons in front. I afterwards heard a shot fired. The crowd increased. I heard a second shot fired; and on hearing that I observed a great press from the front to the back of the dispensary. They began to disperse considerably, and in the course of a few minutes there was scarcely any person to be seen. There was a third shot then. I could not see the roof of the back of the dispensary. I saw the police afterwards come out of the dispensary. When they were leaving the place I saw a rush of persons from the back of the dispensary, and from the Five mile-bridge-road. They rushed in the direction of Callaghan's house. That was the direction in which the police retreated. They were immediately after the police. The people made use of some expression, but from the noise 1 could not understand it. It was something like " run." I suppose there were from thirty to fifty persons in that crowd. This witness was under examination when the last account THE REV. 11178. NEwMAN.—The Dublin Evening Post says, " We are given to understand, from what we consider un exceptionable authority, that the Rev. J.

LAstuART, 65TH REGIMENT, SON OF THE LATE EARL OF CAVAN.--This lamentable event took place yesterday evening at six o'clock, leaving a youthful family to deplore his loss. WOUNDING OF THE SENTRY AT THE PARY.—We un derstand that circumstances transpired yesterday giving a clue to the mysterious firing at the soldier of the 44th regiment, who was on duty at the Viceregal Lodge. A pistol recently discharged was found concealed at some little distance from the place where the soldier had been on duty, and it is the belief of those likely to be best informed on the subject, the man wounded himself in order to procure a pension and his discharge, and did not calculate the injuries would be so serious as to lead to the amputation of his hand.—Saunders's News Letter. SILLY GOSSIP.—We are enabled to give the most decided contradiction to a paragraph, originating, by the way, in an Orange journal, of a union between a personage of the highest rank in the kingdom and a lady fair.

The initiatory ceremonies take place at night, in It secret chamber, in which there is an idol, to which offer ings are presented, and before which the oath of seoresy is taken. The Chinese say there are San shih luh s'he, i.e. " thirty-six oaths." These are, however, probably so many diffi rent particulars, with imprecations against those who shall disclose tho nature and objects of the society. A small subscription is given to support the general expense. Kwo Keaou, or, " crossing the bridge." This bridge is formed of swords laid between two tables (an end resting on each), or else set up on the hilts, and meeting at the points. The persons who receive the oath, take it under this bridge, which is called "passing, or crossing the bridge." The yik ko, or chief ruling brother, sits at the head of this steel bridge (or each with a drawn sword), reads the articles of the oath, to every one of which an affirmative response is given by the new member, after which he cuts off the head of a cock, which is the usual form of a Chinese oath, inti mating " thus let perish all who divulge the secret." But it is said the grand ceremony can only be performed where there is a considerable number of members per sent. They worship heaven and earth on those occa sions, and sometimes, when the place is sufficiently secluded, perform the initiatory rites in the open air. SECRET SIGNS.—The members recognise each other by mystic numbers ; the chief of which is the number th• ee, probably from their name, " The Triad Society ;" and adopt odd rather than even numbers, when it can be done. They say three, three ten times ten, three hundred, three thousand, three myriads, rather than two, four times ten, &e. The word Hung, before-mentioned, contains the num ber three hundred and twenty-one, and is often used by them for particular purposes. Cei lain motions of the fingers constitute a second class of signs ; e. g. using three of the fingers in taking up any thing. If a member happens to be in company, mel wishes to discover whether there be a brother present, he takes up his tea-cup or its cover (Chinese tea cups have always a cover), with the thumb, the fore, and middle fingers, or with there, middle, and third fingers, and which, if perceiveby an initiated person, is answered by a corresponding sign. It does not, h4wever, follow from this that every Chinese who uses three fingers, in taking up, or holding, his tea-cup, is a mem ber of the San ha hwuy, for many of them do it from mere habit. But there is a co Lain way of doing it by the initiated, which they themselves only know. In lifting anything that requires both hands, they use three fingers of each hand. They also have recourie to edes and pieces of patty, as secret outage' ROPE ENOUGII.—We have often heard of " long yarns," and of giving a man " rope enough," but we think the rope just manufactured by Mr. Thomas Briggs, of Richmond Hill Ropery, Salford, outdoes any of which we have heard. It is 4,374 yards, or neqly two wiles and a half in length ; weighs up yards of two tons; and is without any splicing, piece or length. It has been made for Messrs. 0., C and all iu one c. panting and Co., in connexion' with the works at the Nev Theatre Royal, Manchester. It is ntanufailured bypatent Machinery, and refutes the notion that has gen...teeny prevailed that such " mortal, coils" an only be made at Oateshead,—Manchester Gutrdi,an RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. THE OXPOrtn,vcronc ES rzn, AND WOLVER- HAMPTON RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. G. Griffiths, agent to the Messrs. Sturge, of Birmingham; Mr. Evers, ironmaster, of Cragley ; and Mr. King, of Amber court, near Stourbridge, were briefly examined as to the inferiority of the Oxford scheme over the irring one to accommodate their respective localities. Mr. Greaves, of Stratford-upon. Avon, deposed to the agricul tural traffic of the town and neighbourhood. He decidedly pre ferred the Tring scheme over the other. Mr. Cayles, of Banbury, was examined as to the trade and traffic of Banbury. He gave the statistics of the coals, corn, cattle, pigs, sheep, and groceries sold or consumed in that town and vicinity, the items of which we gave ill the witness's examina tion before the CommLs' Committee. Mr. Wall, of Worcester, was examined as to the accommodation that city would derive from either of the lines. He considered, upon the whole, the London and Birmingham scheme was superior to the other. This was not the opinion of the majority of the in habitants, though it was that of a respectable minority. Mr. Berrowes, ironmaster, of Dudley, deposed to the incon venience of the break of gauge. He once sent his goods to Bristol by the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway, but the delay and injury arising from transhipment at Gloucester had been so great, that he had been obliged to resort to his old mode of carriage—the canal. Mr. Waddington, deputy chairman of the Manchester and Birming ham Company, was examined at some length on the break of gauge and the transhipment of goods. He gave several instances which had come under his notice of the great delay, inconvenience, and expense that had arisen at Gloucester in the change of goods. He did not think any form of machine could remove the difficulty. The Committee then adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock. IWAREFIELD, PONTEE'RACT, AND cooza: LINE. (Continued from our Afternoon Editi.m of yesterday.) Dr. Buchanan, chairman of the Railway Company, Robert T. Milnes, Esq. (father of the Member for Pontefract), and Mr. Martin, land surveyor, wet e called to speak to the damage done to the residence of Mr. Smith (one of the opponents), which th^y valued at nothing. The latter witness declared that the railway could be only seen from the upper windows with a good telescope, and that only for a few yards. Mr. ALEXANDER then opened the case for the opposing pro ject, and contended that by the construction of twelve miles of railway from Brecon to Goole, at a cost of 105,0001., every ad vantage would be given to the district. The Learned Counsel then went with laborious minuteness into every part of the evidence adduced by the promoters, and promised that he should call counter evidence to show that the trade from Wakefield had been much exaggerated, and that Leeds, as an important town, was greatly superior. At the couclusion of his speech their Lordships adjourned. CORNWALL RAILWAY. (Continued front our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Locke, civil engineer, gave evidence adverse to the Corn wall line. Had never seen such a collection of bad gradients as that section presented. The curves were very acute, and the gra dients so steep in many places that ordinary railway speed could not be maintained without great danger. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH —Now, Mr. Locke, supposing the rate of speed to be thirty or thirty.five miles an hour, what gra dient do you consider should he exercised so as to prevent danger P Mr. Locke—l think when the gradient is more severe than I in 100 caution is necessary. Lord ELLENewtoucii—And what curve is it that you think cau tion should be exercised at, supposing the rate of speed to be twenty-five or thirty miles ? Mr. Locke—Unless there be caution exercised, I think there is danger where the radius is less than a quarter of a mile. Mr. Robert Stephenson, engineer to the London and Birmingham Railway, corroborated the evidence given by Mr. Bidder. A line with such curves and gradients as those on the Cornwall line could not be worked with regularity or dispatch, even conveying but a light traffic. The expense in any case would be very great. The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till tomorrow morning THE GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Stoddart, late treasurer to the town-council of Edinburgh, deposed as to the effect of the tunnel going from the terminus of the Edinburgh and ,Greenock Railway, and also as to the conve nience which the line of rails on the quay would afford for the transmission of traffic to the vessels in the harbour. Mr. Burrell, manufacturer at Dumfermline, proved the extent of the damask manufactures at Dunfermline, all of which would be transmitted for shipment by the proposed line. Mr. Archbold gave similar evidence as to the blanket and shawl manufactures. Mr. J. Wilson, of Dundyven, said that the iron trade in Scot land during the last fifteen or twenty years had been from 50,000 tons to 800,000 tons annually, being an increase of eightfold. There was also every prospect of its being still further increased. A con siderable traffic in coal also existed to Ireland and the West Indies. The proposed junction would be of great use in conveying iron and coal to the water side for exportation. Mr. Beaumont Neilson, civil engineer, and manager of the gas works Glasgow, said he had seen the plans of the proposed junc tion rallway, and considered that it would be convenient not only for the coal traffic to the harbour, but also for the general accom modation of the public; and the laying down the mils on the quay was rather an advantage than otherwise. At the chose of the examination of the last witness, the Corn. mittee adjourned till tomorrow at eleven. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. DIRECT NORTHERN-- TAILRINGDON STREET EXTENSION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Reodel, civil engineer, was recalled by the Committee to explain a discrepancy between his and Mr. Gibbs' estimates ; he adhered to his former evidence, to the accuracy of which he pledged himself. Mr. J. D. Paine, civil engineer, examined by Mr. NIAS, with a view to show a deviation from the datum time sufficient to render their non-compliance with requirements of the Act of Parliament fatal, mentioned errors in some places exceeding nine feet. Mr. WEBSTER urged that the alleged error existed at a distance of eighty-three feet from the extreme limits of the line, and there fore Mr. Nias had no locus standi to oppose. The CHAIRMAN, after consultation with his coadjutors, decided that Mr. Nias must confine himself to the proof of error within the limits, and held that as to the particular point in question, the ob jection was valid. Mr. Biggs, a civil engineer, was then called, and confirmed the accuracy of Mr. Paine's evidence. Mr. A. Robinson, an a►chitect and surveyor, under examination by Mr. Ni&s, deposed to the injury which the line would entail on property in its vicinity, and in some points the value of laud would be materially deteriorated. The evidence of this witness (the last to be examined by Mr. Nias) closed the proceedings of the day, and the Committee ad journed shortly after Five o'Clock. GROUP ZZ. BOLTON AND LEIGH, HENYON AND LEIGH JUNCTION, LIVERPOOL AND MANCHES TER, AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANIES' AMALGAMATION. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. ) Mr. Booth, treasurer to the Leeds and Manchester Company, bore out the statements of the Learned Counsel. Mr. WILKINS then addressed the Committee on behalf of the merchants of Manchester, who petitioned against the amalgamation and contended that it would create a monopoly too powerful to be competed with, and which could not fail to be injurious to the public, and called upon the Committee to reject the preamble. Mr. Lirley, a merchant carrying on business at Manchester, gave evidence to the effect that no existing line would be able to com pete with it, and that it would be too long to be threatened by a new lino. Mr. AUSTIN having replied, the room was cleared for a few mi. nutes. When the parties were admitted The CHAIRMAN declared that it was the opinion of the Com mittee that the preamble of the Bill had been proved. The clauses with amendments were agreed to, and the Committee separated. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. MATRICULATION-JuLY, 1845. EXAMINERS. Classics.—Rev. Dr. Jerrard, T. B.

THE TURN-OUT MILLWRIGHTS AND MECHANICS. —The millwright s , moulders, mechanics, and boiler makers, who turned out on the 6th of January, at Messrs. Walker, Hacking, and Co.'s, Bury, still remain on the strike, but their places have all been taken up by hands from other places. The number who turned out was upwards of 350, but most of them have got employment in other shops ; the number now out is from 100 to 120, who are supported by the trades' unions, &c.—Manchester Guardian. Yesterday the marriage of Viscount Lascelles, eldest son of the Earl of Harewood, and Lady Elizabeth Joanne de Burgh, eldest daughter of the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanri earde, was solemnized at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. The arrival of the Marchioness of Clanricarde with the youthful and lovely bride was delayed by a centre temps, which happily was not attended with any serious consequences. On their way to the church, near New Burlington-street, the off side horse slipped on the wood pavement in Regent-street, and by his fall thepole of the carriage swerved and caught one of the hind weeels of an omni bus, when the pole was broken about three feet down. The coach. man, by this accident, lost all command over the horses, and, turn. ing round, both animals became lodged between the posts at the corner of New Burlington-street. Several gentlemen were promptly at the carriage, and assisted the Marchioness and Lady Elizabeth to alight, and they were obliged for a short time to re main at Messrs. Holmes's. The servant immediately proceeded to the church, and the Earl of Harewood's carriage was shortly in readiness to convey the bride and the Marchioness to the church. After the ceremony the bride and bridegroom left for the Marquis of Clanricarde's mansion, on Carlton House-terrace, and the wed ding party then separated. The happy bride and bridegroom lett town shortly after two o'clock for Lord Carteret's seat, Hawnes. place, Bedfordshire, to pass the honeymoon. RIVER TRAFFIC.—By the iron steam-boats alone, which pass from London•bridge to Chelsea, there were conveyed last year 2,800,000 persons. FATAL,EFFECTS OF WEALTH.—Yesterday'afternoon an inquest was held at the Jolly Anglers, Kentish-town, on the body of George Carter, aged forty-one, late of 5, Trafalgar place, Kentish-town. The deceased had been originally a stone-mason, and some time ago married a lady having a fortune of 5001. a-year. As soon as he became possessed of the wealth he indulged in every excess, was seldom or never sober, and, according to report, would drink thirty glasses of gin before breakfast. A disease of the lungs and liver, and ultimately delirium tremens, were the consequence. On last Sunday, while labouring under delirium, he attempted suicide, by inflicting several wounds with a razor on his throat and abdomen. He lingered until Tuesday, when death closed his career. Mr. Mullins, the surgeon, said that he died of a disease of the lungs and liver, and not from the wounds. Verdict—Natural death. SINGULIR ESCAPE FROM DROWNING AT BLACK FRILR9- BRIDUE.—On Thursday afternoon a narrow escape from drowning occurred at Elackfriars-bridge. A boy about nine years of age, the son of a bed.sacking manufacturer, residing at No. I, Norway-street, 01d-street, St. Luke's, had been playing with some other boys at the extreme end of the common sewer, known as Fleet-ditch, on the northwest side of the bridge, when he suddenly slipped, and fell into the river. The force of the tide drove him out into the stream, and he passed under the third arch, near the pier, on the eastern side. An alarm being raised, a boat under the direction of Mr. John Ware, the rier-master, instantly put off, and although to , body had disappeared, the cool and deliberate judgment of Mr. Ware had the effect of ascertaining the precise spot where the boy lied sunk, and with the hitcher he at once brought him to the sur. face. Having been got out, the boy was carried in an almost life less state to the receiving house, where having received prompt medical attendance, he ultimately recovered, and was conveyed home. ALTERATION IN THE JULY LIST OF THE MORNING MAILS.—The following very important alterations have been made in the list of morning mails, corrected up to the Ist of July, by command of the Postmaster-General. The revised list bears date the llth inst. :—Brampton, Burton (Westmoreland), Hartlepool, Haydonbridge, Hexham, Northallerton, Ripon, and Stockton-upon- Tees, are removed from the morning dispatch; consequently, news vendors sending papers, and parties posting letters for any of the above towns, must be aware that no bags for either of them will be made up until evening until further orders. It ought also to be generally known by the public that in addition to the towns alphabetically given in the printed Post-office list, the following towns have bags made up and dispatched every morning :—Brent wood, Chelmsford, Chester.le- street, Chorley, Colchester, Dorking, Dudley, Dursley, Gurnsey, Hythe, Ipsrich, Jersey, Kelvedon, Ro. chester, Rye, Tetbury, Witham, and Wooton-under-Edge. For those places, as well as all the other morning mails, including all Scotland and the whole of Ireland, letters should be posted at the several receiving houses throughout the metropolis, by 8 a.m.; newspapers by 7 a.m. At the several branch offices, excepting Lombard-street, letters by 8 a.m. ; newspapers by 730 a.m. At the Lombard-street and General Post-office, letters by 8 30 a.m., and newspapers by 7 35. VERY HORRIBLE.—A correspondent of the Cin cinnati Herald relates the following occurrence. It is said to have occurred near Oakland Cottage, Mississippi :—" A elaveholder, a short time previous to his death, made provisions for the liberation of his slaves. Those whe were entrusted with the execution of his designs failing, or refusing to carry out his last will and testament concerning the slaves, the latter became impatient to enjoy their long looked for boon. At length, disappointed, expecting to be sold, and incensed at their oppressors, they set fire to the overseer's dwelling and burnt it to the ground. A little child, which they were unahle to rescue, was consumed in the flames. The slaves, eight or nine in number, were taken, and two of them hung on the spot. The others were taken into an old log house and chained to the floor. The house was then set on fire, and these poor victims, by a slow fire, burned to death in this most shocking manner, while the air was rent with their unavailing shrieks and screams." RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—We have now made up, from our official returns, the amount of the railway traffic for the past six months. It appears that, on thirty-nine railways, amounting to nearly 1,800 miles, the aggregate traffic is, in round numbers, :1,850,0001., being 550,0001. more than for the corresponding six months of last year. This increase of revenue amounts to twenty per cent, on the total receipts of the half-year; and if we take the value of money at four per cent, per annum, this will give above 27,000,000/. as the increase in the real value of the railway pro. perty of the country since last July. Of this increase of half. yearly revenue, we find that the London and Birmingham Com pany has 52,0001. on the half-year, being an increase of exactly 2,0001. a week. The Great Western has an increase of 41,0001., the Grand Junction of 30,0004, the Midlands of 57,0001., the Brighton 14,0001., and the South- Western B,OOC/, Some of these lines have made extensions ; but the greater part of the traffic Is due to the increasing prosperity of the country, and the increase of the revenue has been in some cases in spite of large reductions in the rate of the fares.—Railway Chronicle. CLERKS.--The first clerk of all is the Government clerk, whose situation is the most difficult of all; for the filling up of the office hours from 10 to 4, will require a great amount of ingenuity. The newspaper will furnish conversation, and, in the early part of the month, the magazines will affard light reading that will be a relief to the dreadful monotony of doing nothing. It need hardly be suggested, that if a stranger should enter, he must be received with a stare and a yawn, while some of the old authorities recommend the whistling of a popular air from the last new opera. The bank clerk differs from the Government clerk apparently, rather than essentially. If an individual enters with a cheque to be changed, be sure not to raise your eyes from a desk at which you are engaged, in drawing some figures on e pad, probably for your own amusement; and if you are laughing or joking with a fellow-clerk, do not cut short a good story to attend to an impatient fellow who comes to pay in or draw out money, Railway clerks ore next in importance, and they should endeavour to show their dignity by declining to speak to Any one who addresses them. If information is wanted, there are the printel4 bills to afford it; for the duty of the railway clerk is confined to taking the fares, and giving the tickets. If you are in this situation, you §hoßld not make youreisif too cheap, and you should therefore only be v.sit,lp few minutes before the starting of the train, when, as a crowd will have been waiting g ive the tickets very slowly ; be sure at least of a welcoMe . A lways impatiently for yo u for some time, you will for as patience is a virtue, you shonld take every opportunity of teaching others to practise it.—Punch. DISCOVERY or ANCIENT COINS.— On Tuesday morning a very singular discovery was made by some men employed in excavating for the purpose of forming a founda. tion fur houses intended to be erected in Maiden-lane , Battle. bridge. It appears that one of the m en having found a few coins which he conceived to be mere brass, carelessly men. tioned it to a fellow-workman, who, upon ioc*lng a t them, declared his 01-1), ; on to be that they were f ormed of metal snore valuable than brass, and acquainted the sur ve y or of the fact, who i mm ediAely Instituted a further search, and was at length rewarded by finding, at a depth of between ten and twelve feet, a small iyon vessel shaped somewhat like ail urn, which, upon being forced open, was found to contain a large qtrintity of gold and silver coins of the reign Of Constantine in the year 306, and several others bearing a date, b 3. These were, , however, so much defaced, that no other inscription could lie tra t i-„i Besides which was found, some four or five feet deeper, large quantities cf Roman tile, many parts of which were in a re= markable state of preservatioa. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

I shall still advise my readers to look to Milton 410 Mickey Free, reserving Lothario for a " cockboat." Trueboy's running yesterday has sent him entirely out of the market.

The coasting vessels report that great quantities of pil. chards are seen in both channels.--Plymouth Journal, The LEAGUE and the EMANCIPA- TION OF INDUSTRY SOCIETY. TO THE COUNCIL OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE. Offiee of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry, 15, Exeter Hall, July 15, 1845. Gentlemen,—llitherto I have not received any direct answer to my letters of the 3d and 28th of March last, nor have I heard from you any reason why it has been withheld. At length, however, I have had pointed out to me the ' following passage in your authorised publication The League, of the sth of July, 1845 : " The ' Merchant's Son ' complains that the League have refused to enter into any discussion of the schemes of certain currency mongers ; we declined on the simple principle that their schemes, whether good or bad, are utterly indifferent tQ the great issue for which the League was constituted. The connexion between the currency question and free trade is not greater than between Tenterden Steeple and Goodwin Sands." It will be recollected by the public, if not by the Council of the League, that the questions put by the Committee of the Society for the Emancipation of In dustry pointed to an inconsistency in the public acts of members of the Council of the League ; and to the ope ration of a fixed price of gold as opposed to its market price in Bank of England paper—which fixed price, and not the corn-law, will be found to have produced the pre sent depressed state of the industrious classes—an evil that any further reduction in the price of corn will only aggravate, so long as that fixed price of gold exists. if free trade be " the great issue for which the League was constituted," why do its leaders support monopolies in money and banking ? I am now requested by the Committee, as members of that community to whose support the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League profess to lay claim on account of their principles, to ask whether the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League deliberately hold the opinion that the price of corn, or of any other commodity, and the currency in which that price is quoted, have no greater connexion than that " between Tenterden Steeple and Goodwin Sands ? " The Committee of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry, having in view the investigation of truth, rind being in no way desirous of eliciting an incauti , ‘us answer, beg to point out to the Council of the Anti- Corn law .League that, should they reply that price, and the c•arreney in Nrhich that price is quoted, have no re lation to each other, the public will probably have but little respect for their wisdom ; and, on the other hand, should the Council decline answering the question thus candidly put to the, the public will, in all probability, conic to the conclusion, that either they arc entirely lg ;torant of the subject upon which they assume to die tate, or that they have some object in view which they dare not publicly avow. The reception whil.r my former letter, sent to your office, has met with, compels me to adopt this course of Etidre&sing you through the public journals. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, ALEX. WILSON, Hop. Secretary. THE CHELSEA EMItANK,MENT.-I.'he entire cost the the embankments,a( g about Cheyne walk Will b e 75,4251. 4s, 1 ; of which earlL lo an contributes 6 , 7451 .

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 17. The Lordships met at Five o'clock. The Constables Public Works (Ireland) Bill, the Do g Stealing Bill, and the Drainage by Tenants for Life Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the Defamation and Libel Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Lord Sondes against the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Bill. DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILWAY. The Earl of BESBOROUG II brought up the report of the Select Committee, appointed to inquire into certain allega tions which had been made against the Dublin and Galwas Railway Company. The Committee had only thought it ad visable to go into the allegation respecting the forgery of f our names to the subscription-deed of the Company, and they as certained that the Company had been in the habit of making allotments of shares without obtaining any references as to the respectability or status of the applicants. They also hoped that their report, and the petition containing the allegations, would be referred to the Committee which was nosx sitting upon the Bill. It was not his intention P o oppose the second reading of the Bill, which was appointed, for that evening or to raise any discussion at present resrecting these allegations, as ample opportunity would be afforded, on a future occasion, for that purpose. Lord BROUGHAM thought it much better that no discus sion should arise on the subject at present. After a short consultation the Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. The Inelosure of Lands Bill, the Loan Societies Bill, the Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill, the Highway RetEs Bill, and the Unlawful Oaths Bill, were severally read a first tiro*, and ordered to be printed. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE wished to put a question to one of the Ministers of the Crown in referer,• e to the con duct of a magistrate and deputy •lieutenant. of the comity of Leitrim. The Duke of Ps ELLINGTON—You should have given no-, t ice of your question. The Marquis of CLAN RICA TIDE said he would pr,t his question then to-morrow. It would relate to the cons:uct of a 11r. Watson, a magistrate and a deputy-lieuten-Ant of the cuunty of Leitrim, who had taken an active part is the Orange meetings and processions which had lately taken place in that county. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, who had not the good fortune to be present on Tuesday evening when the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies statedhis intentions with respect to the Landlords and Tenants' Bill, would be glad if the Noble Lord would state clearly and distinctly whether Government intended proceeding with the measure in the present session. The Noble Marquis then presented a number of petitions from various places in Antrim, Belfast, Londonderry, and Down, against the Bill, signed by landowners and others, and con , eluded by imploring the Noble Lord to withdraw the Bill. Lord STANLEY regretted that the Noble Marquis was not in the House when he made a statement with respect to the Bill. It was not his intention to ask the House to pass the Bill during the present session. RECOGNIZANCES FOR COSTS OF BILLS BILL. Lord BROUGHAM said, as it had not yet been determined whether the order with regard to costs in railway Bills should be affected by a Bill or not, he should postpone the second reading of this Bill until to-morrow. The Noble Lord ex pressed his regret that a Bill (the name of which he did not mention) had been read a third time before five o'clock, during his absence from the House. By it a poor clergyman, who had a living of 70/. a year, and who kept a school within forty yards of the route of the railway, would be nearly ruined, as no one would then send their children to his school. What compen sation would the Railway Company give him for so great a loss? Lord REDESDALE cited the case of a poor person who had expended 1,0001. upon a building, which would be greatly deteriorated by a railway passing within 100 yards of it. 'f HE GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. Lord DALHOUSIE presented a petition, numerously signed, from Glasgow, against this line, on account of its pro moters intending to carry it along the Quays. MUTUAL SURRENDER OF CRIMINALS BILL. The Earl of ABERDEEN moved the third reading of this Bill, which he said was to facilitate the mutual delivering up of criminals between France and the United States. The Bill was read a third time and passed. The third reading of the Public Works (Ireland) Bill was :hen proposed and carried, and the House adjourned. ROUSE OF COMMONS, Juh, 17. LUNATIC ASYLUMS AND PAUPER LUNATICS BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) On the motion that the Bill do pass, Sir JAMES GRAHAM moved to withdraw the 6th clause, which exempted the populous parishes of Marylebone, St. Pan cras, and St. George, from the operation of the Bill. Sir CHARLES NAPIER objected to the withdrawal of the clause. There was no metropolitan Member in the House, with the exception of himself, and he certainly must say that the insertion of the clause, if it was now to be withdrawn, looked very much like an intention to deceive them, for no notice had been given to any of the metropolitan Members of the intention on the part of the Government to withdraw the clause. Sir J. GRAHAM defended the course pursued by the Go vernment and insisted on the rejection of the clause. Lord ASHLEY said when he consented to the introducticu of the clause, he stated that its provisions must be well con sidered, and the propriety of its remaining in the Bill could be discussed on the third reading. For his own part, he was favourable to the clause. Mr. HENLEY supported the withdrawal of the clause, considering that as it at present stood it would opc.9 ate entirely on one side. Lord DUNCAN said if this clause was to be retained he must move the adjournment of the House. His Hon. Friend the .Alember for Montrose had entirely withdrawn his opposition to the Bill on the ground of the introduction of the clause. Lord ASHLEY had stated to the Hon. Member for Mon tro,e that on the third reading of the Bill the propriety of re taining the clause would be discussed ; that he thought him self there were great objections to it, and that probably, on the third reading it would be necessary to withdraw it. Mr. WARBURTON trusted the Noble Lord the Member for Bath would not persevere in his motion. Lord DUNCAN said he would not persevere in moving the adjournment. Sir U. NAPIER said he would divide the House on the motion that the Bill do pass. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division tot,k took place, and the Bill passed. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL took the oaths and his seat for Cambiiiige FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL. Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE moved the order of the day 'or the house going into Committee on the Fishefies Ireland) Bill. The different clauses were agreed to after a short discussion, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow at twelve. The sitting at half-past four was suspended till five o'clock. The House resumed at Five o'clock. DUDDESTON AND NECHELLS IMPROVEMENT BILL. Sir T. TROUBRIDGE brought up 'the report on this Bill. GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY BILL. On the motion of Mr. KEMBLE, the Gravesend and Rochester Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. LUNATICS BILL.—SMOKE PROHIBITION BILL. Mr. CRIPPS presented a petition from London against the Lunatics Bill ; also a petition from the sugar refiners of the metropolis against the Smoke Prohibition Bill. COMPENSATION. Mr. VILLIERS presented a petition from Captain Charles Stewart, of Nova Scotia, claiming compensation for services rendered on board an East Indian transport ship, by which above 300 persons': lives were saved. The petitioner had applied to several Governments, but they regretted that they had no funds at disposal to be applied in such a case. He now prayed the Government to consider the matter contained in hia petition. GRIEVANCES IN NEW SOUTH WALES. _ _ Mr. DUNCAN presented a petition, signed by 115 stock holders in the town and township of Boyd, in New South Wales, complaining of the misappropriation of the funds raised by a tax of 3d. per head on cattle, and claiming redress. SCHOOL OF DESIGN, SOMERSET-HOUSE. Air. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the senior stu dents in the School of Design, Somerset-house, complaining of gross mismanagement in the funds of that school. As he meant, on Monday next, to found a motion on the petition, he noss moved that it be printed.—Agreed to. BANGOR AND ST. ASAPH, Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition f:om some place In Wales against the union of the sees of Bangor and St. Asaph. TESTAMENTARY DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY. The ATTORNEY-GENERLL gave notice that to-morrow he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law respecting the testamentary disposition of property in the public funds, and also to aikthorise the repayment of stock by power of attorney. RAILWAY MONOPOLY. Mr. IL GIBSON said it had been mentioned that there was a clause in the Manchester and Liverpool Railway Bill, which it wit. desirable to remove. Ile begged to say that he thought the clause was wholly unprecedented, inasmuch as it gave all railways the power of selling themselves to this Company, which would create a monopoly. He wished to know if the Government was prepared to propose a Bill which would re move this objectionable power, which had been foisted into Acts of Parliament. Sir GEORGE CLERK said the subject was one of great importance. The clause was certainly of a very extraordi►,ary nature, and did, as the Hon. Gentleman said, enable the railway in question to obtain a monopoly of every railway in the couniry. The clause passed without opposition, though entirely contrary to the report of the Board of Trade. which entirely discountenanced such railway monopoly, as being injurious to the interests of the public.
