Author of " Stories of Waterloo," &c. " No one excels Mr. Maxwell in his Sketches of the Military Club and Mess-table ; in the description of the amusements of the officers at home, and in his pictures of their mixed labours, perils, and wild intervals of sport and diversion in the field, or on real service. In the work before us we have perils by sea and land ; bold operations and narrow escapes by night and day ; the most picturesque narra tives of service, and incidents and adventures of the most attractive order. There are subjects to suit the taste of every reader."— Messenger. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA I EVIENING, JUN'E 25, 1845. true, we denounce him for both offences—by the spolia tion of national property invested with a sort of historic holiness. His touch here is desecration. We protest against it ; and we trust that the public voice will au thoritatively forbid it, and signally indicate its displea sure at such an attempt. The intelligence from Madrid is to the 17th. The QUEEN, it was understood, would remain at Barcelona till the 25th, then leave for the waters of Esparraguera, and return to Madrid about the middle of July. MAR TINEZ DE LA ROSA, who had completely recovered from his late illness, was to leave in a few days to j.)in the Court in Catalonia. A Cabinet Council vtas held at Madrid on the 16th, and on breaking up dispatches were sent off for Paris and London. They were understo. d to relate to the abdication of Don CARLOS and the QUEEN'S marriage. According to the Clamor Public() the liberty of the press is to be abolished forthwith by a royal decree. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for ctsh, and 328 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 218 for cash, and 21i for the 26th inst. ; Coupons at 264 for the 10th of ; and the Debt without interest at 6 11-14 for cash, and 6 15-16 at 60 days. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, a brief discussion took place relative to Otaheite, on the grant of 2,000,000 f. for the establishments in the Pacific. M. DE MALLEVILLE referred to the attempts wade by Admiral HAMELIN to open up a communication with Queen POMARE, and said it appeared that, so far from showing any dispo,i tion to co-operate with the French in the government of the country, she had refused not only to see his agent, but had rejected all his letters. M. BILLAULT said Ministers had sacrificed the dignity of France in advising the RING to write a letter to this QUEEN, and thereby exposing the signa ture of his MAJESTY to the contempt of barbarians. Allusion was also made to a letter said to have been addressed by POMARE to LOUIS PHILIPPE, evidently dictated by the English mis sionaries. Admiral Mac Kan said the letter alluded to had never reached the KING, and might be regarded as apocryphal. He could assure the Chamber that the dignity of France would be maintained. and the protectorate of the islands continued. A Committee of the Chamber had decided on a direct line of railway to be executed by private companies from Paris to Cherbourg, by Berney and Caen, with a branch line to Rouen, and another from Caen to join the Loire. The political intelligence in the Paris papers is not important. The Moniteur publishes an ukase issued by the Emperor of Russia, doing away with the prohibition on many articles of foreign merchandise, and substituting heavy duties on the following articles :—Bronzes, marbles, clocks and watches, fine hardware, mercery, silks, engravings, richly bound books, music, &c. The export duties have been abolished on oleaginous seeds, cables, hempen ropes, and other vegetable matters grown and ma nufactured in Russia. The Phare des Pyrenees, of the 16th, contradicts, in the most positive manner, the report of the arrest of CARRERA. According to some accounts he is still at Lyons, and the report had been spread by the Spanish Government, in order to induce her MAJESTY to return to Madrid, without visiting the Basque Provinces. Accounts from Switzerland announce that Dr. STEIGEIt had made his escape from prison, and is now out of the reach of the Lu cerne authorities. The following letter gives the particulars of his escape : " ZURICH, JUNE 20.—Dr. Steiger has, with the concurrence of three gendarmes who guarded him, made his escape from prison at Lucerne, and the whole party, accompanied by many friends, arrived here at half-past eight o'clock this morning. It appears he was provided with a uniform of the gendarmerie, and in this cos tume passed, in company of the others, out of the town, entered a carriage in waiting, and passed the frontier. He remained in Zurich till three o'clock, whence he took his departure, it is sup posed, for Frauenfeld in Turgovia. I hear the plan for escape had been arranged several weeks since, but no favourable oppor tunity offered until last night at twelve o'c ock, when it was ef fected in the manner above described." The Funds fell considerably on the Paris Bourse on Mon day, but without any assigned cause.

SIR WILLIAM FOLT ETT.—The answers to inquiries this morning were that Sir William was much in the same state, that there was no appearance of any change for the better, and, if anything, he was worse, having passed a somewhat restless night. The Inquiries at his residence in Park.street are most numer ous, as also at the residence of Mr. Pennell, in Cumberland terrace, Regent's-park, where the Hoa. and Learned Gentleman is now staying. Dr Bright, who has attended him all through his long and and protracted 'lines?, visited him twice this morning. Up to a late hour this day he was still in the same low and, appa rautly, sinking condition. NEWCASTLE RACES -TUESDAY. BY EXPRESS.

Accounts, of Feb. 25, from Melbourne, Port Philip, have come to hand, but the recent advices of March 1. , from Syd ney, have anticipated the interest ing portion of t b eir contents. The advices from New York by the Cambridge are rather favourable, and in respect to trade, &c., it is stated that So far as our internal relations are concerned, every thing is in the highest state of proaperity. There has not been any very extensive overtrading thisyear, and the crops of the country are so abundant, that every engagement between debtor and creditor must eventually be fully cancelled. The reduced busi ness of this season must have a very favourable influence, and give those who have become involved in previous seasons an opportunity to reduce their liabilities. These p riodical con tractions in trade serve to prevent in a great degree, or ex tend to a more remote period, the commercial revulsions this country, and particularly this city, have so repeatedly ex perienced. A few years of uninterrupted and extensive busi ness is sure to lead niany into embarrassments, from which, in a large proportion of cases, there is no redemption but suspension ; but when a season or two of active business is followed by a relapse similar to that experienced, this trade acquires a more healthy tore, extended credits are reduced, large stocks are brought down, financial embarrassments relieved, insolvent houses suspend, and breathing time is given to those who were rapidly losing their wind in the pursuit of fortune against time." The dreadful fire at Quebec quite throws the miscellaneous advice. from Cariada into the shade, and it ia expected that a pubiic meeting nili be called here to consider the best means of furthering subscriptinns.

TIIE LATE COLLISION OFF IVOOLWICH.—On Tues day an adjourned inquest was held at the Castle Tavern, Wool wich, have Mr. Carttar, to inquire into the circumstances attend ing the death of Thomas Henry Grant, aged twenty.four, lately carrying on business as a grocer in Limehouse, who was drowned on the 14th instant off Woolwich, in consequence of the running down of a wherry, in which he was taking a sail for pleasure, by the Mercury, Ramsgate steamer, then on its way down the river. After a long investigation, the jury returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death," adding an expression of opinion that there was great want of management on the part of Harvey, the waterman, and also on the part of the look-out on board the Mercury. The Colon" said he entirely concurred in this opinion. GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR THE CHAMPION.. SHIP. —Yesterday the long-pending match between John Smith (the Regent -street Pet) and Harry Smith came off near the Old Hat Inn, at Ealing. The men were matched for 501., and from the great celebrity they have acquired as pedestrians, the race at tracted upwards of 2,000 spectators. The distance contested was 140 yards. In betting the Pet was the favourite, at sto 4. After several ineffectual attempts to start, they got away, the Pet having the advantage. They ran at a quick rate, and at eighty yards they were well together, the Pet appearing full of confidence, and his opponent making every effort to take the lead, but without success, when the Regent-street Pet ran in the winner by two yards. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The down train upon the Eastern Counties line, which left London at a quarter past four, P. 51,, yesterday (Monday), was detained for about twenty minutes at Margaretting, under the following circumstances:—On its arrival near Peacock's, Margaretting, a horse, the property of Mr. Hardy, strayed through a gate which had been left open at a level crossing, and at the instant the train came up the animal attempted to cross over the line; the consequence was that it wu cut into atoms by the engine, and the first carriage, which, bow. ever, maintained their position upon the rails; the succeeding carriage was thrown off, but by the excellent management of the driver the train was brought to a stand-still, without the slightest injury to any individual. A body of plate-layers, who were for. tunately at hand, speedily replaced the carriage upon the rails, and wheels, when thesixtraiinn number,proceed proceeded in tety and were W sa e .

This line of railway will commence near the Syston Station on the Midland Counties line, and proceed near the Charnwood Forest, and so as to take in the collieries of Bagworth, Ibstock, Whitwick, and Sulb_ton, and proceed to Cole Orton mid Ashby-de-la-Zouch, thence near Swadlincote, Griesly Potteries, and the course of the projected Burton and Moria Canal to Burton-upon-Trent, whence, crossing the Trent, it will skirt the Needwoed Forest near Tatenhill, llamstall, Redware, Blithebury, and Colton, to the proposed junction of the North Staffordshire Potteries line with the Trent Valley Railway at Colwich, about four miles from Stafford. A short branch from Burton up the Dove Valley, to join the Mac clesfield and Derby line between Burton and littoxeter, is contem plated, and, in the event of a line being carried from Manchester to Derby by way of tittoxeter, the part of this line between Burton and Leicester would complete, by its function with the projected Leicester and Bedford Railway, a direct route from London to Manchester. As an independent line, looking to its own local traffic as a source of revenue, it traverses a country of extraordinary mineral wealth, passing near the most southern coal field in the kingdom accessible to London, from which is pro duced the finest quality of coal—Kennel coal, ironstone, fire, and pot clay. Granite and limestone abound in that portion of the line which skirts the Charnwood Forest to Ashby, and which require increased facilities of conveyance ; to these it will afford a transit as well as a market. Between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Bur ton-upon-Trent are the Great Breedon and Ticknall limeworks, and the Swadlincote and Griesly Potteries. Also the extensive coal fields of Ashby, Moira, Newhall, and Swadlincote, abounding in coal of the best quality, which, by means of this railroad, will find its way into the London market, a desideratum of very great advantage, and long wished to be attained. To Burton it will convey the corn and barley of Lincoln, Northampton, Norfolk, and the agricultural districts of the east, as well as afford a ready conveyance to the produce of the important breweries of Burton. From Cambridge, Ely, Norwich, Yarmouth, Lynn, Peterborough, and Lincoln, this will be the route to the Leicestershire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire iron and coal fields, to the Burton breweries, to North and South Wales, and Ireland. By means of the short line up the Dove Valley, and its junction with the proposed :North Stafford shire Railway, this will be the most direct communication from the east to the north-western manufacturing districts, and to Birken head by way of Crave and Chester ; indeed, it may be called the key or trunk line of the central counties of England. It is impossible to over-estimate the advantages of this railway as a junction line. It will unite, near the Syston Station with the Mid land Counties and the proposed Cambridge, Peterborough and Melton Mowbray lines, and the contemplated Bedford and Leicester Railway. It will also for goods and passengers coming from the eastern coun ties (the destination of which may be Manchester, Liverpool, Wales, or the north-west of England generally) avoid the angles and cir cuitous routes necessarily made at present either in going round by Derby on the one hand or Rugby on the other. On the west it will join at Colwich the Trent Valley and the pro posed North Staffordshire Potteries hue ; and at Stafford it will unite with the lines for Liverpool, Manchester, the Potteries, Chester, Bir kenhead, and Holyhead. The estimated profit from internal resources is expected to be very great. The town of Burton-on-Trent is a place of more importance as re garded the amount of its traffic than many places of four-fold size. It is computed that about 50,0001. a-year is paid for carriage alone and from tha town. Its extensive breweries are chiefly supplied with barley from the country lying between Boston and Northampton. The shipping ports for its beer are London and Liverpool, and these towns, with Manchester, are the chief markets for its home trade. Nearly two-thirds, therefore, of its whole manufactures, and of the raw materials it draws from distant parts, would pass in one direc tion or another along this line of railway. Throughout the line there is a great demand for lime and coal. The Pottery manufactories of Griesly and Swadlincote would supply a large amount of traffic to the line as well as the North Staffordshire Potteries to the eastern coun ties and ports. In the allotment of shares local interests will be first considered. No ornamental property appears to intersect the line, and many of the landowners have given it their support. ENGINEER-J. U.

DECLARATION OF THE NASSAU GOVERNMENT. THE GENERAL DIEECTION OF THE DOMAINS OF Ac;firGlltiiSS THE DUKE OF 'NASSAU, Declare, by these presents, that being desirous to prevent and put a stop to the numerous falsifications committed in respect to the Waters of Sellers (in England called Seltzer Water), in the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, which have been made known to them on indisputable evidence, and wishing by every means in their power to secure for the future to the consumers of the Waters of Setters (Seltzer Water) in the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies, the enjoyment of the genuine Water of that Spring, as also of the Springs of Fachingen, Schwalbach, and We:lbach, likewise the property of his Highness the Duke of Nassau, they have resolved, from the let of January, 1845, to use the Metallic Capsules of Mr. John Thomas Betts, of London, known under the name of "BETTS'S PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE," as a top covering for all the bottles, both large and small, filled with the said Mineral Waters, for Mr. John Thomas Betts, and intended for the kingdom of Great Britain, its colonies, and dependencies. On these Capsules are to be impressed the Arms of Nassau, and under the arms the name of the Water contained in the Bottle, with the words " BETTS, IMPORTER," and " BETTS'S PATENT," around. The above named Bottles, capsuled in such a manner, will like wise bear, as heretofore, the usual marks, consisting of a Shield, im pressed on the Bottle, containing the arms of Nassau, or a Crown, under which are the initials 11. N., and around the name of the Mine ral Water contained in the Bottle, and also the usual burnt mark on the lower end of the cork. The General Direction of the Domatas further declare by these presents, that they have granted to the said John Thomas Betts, Patentee of the above described Capsules, and to no one else in the Kingdom of Great Britain, its Colonies and Dependencies, the exclu sive right to purchase and export, direct from the Springs, the Waters of Setters, Schwalbach, Fachingen, and Weilbach. They declare further, that the Bottles, after being filled with the respective Mineral Waters, are to be immediately, and in the pre sence of their officers, closed with the above earned Capsules. This present declaration Is granted to Mr. John Thomas Betts, with authority to publish the same. Given at Wieshade: , , this 18th day of December, 1844. The President of the Direc tion-General of the Ducal BARON DE BOCK HERMSDORFF. Domains of Nassau. HENRY HE'SDEL, Secretary. The public will observe, by the above declaration, that these Waters, protected and hermetically closed by the Patent Metallic Capsules, may now be obtained in the same state of freshness and perfection, irrespective of time or temperature, as at the first mo ment when taken from the Springs, without the possibility of frau dulent substitution. These Waters are imported in hampers containing four dozen quart, or five dozen pint bottles at the rate of 10s. per dozen, and 2s. the hamper for the former, and 7s. per dozen and Is. Gd. the hamper for the latter, bottles and hampers not returnable. And, as the sale must inevitably extend to many thousand persons, Cash Payments will be indispensable ; on receipt of which hampers will be delivered at the raliway receiving houses ; and to any part of the metropolis, exclusive of the railway stations, where carts are liable to detention. • Mr. Betts respectfully informs the public that, the first importa tion having arrived, orders will be received, addressed No. 1, Wharf-road, City-road : and to prevent disappointment he begs further to state that they will be executed consecutively, with refe rence to priority of date. Special agents, from whom the smallest quantity may be obtained, are in course of appointment, in town and country. And applica tions for agencies, from respectable persons, where appointments are not already made, may obtain particulars by addressing letters poet paid, to No. I, Wharf-road, City-road, London. N.B.—Dealers in other mineral and effervescent Inters will be ineligible. Otcening LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1845. The House of Lords net at Five o'clock. The Earl of CHARLEVILLE informed the House that Lord GARDNER had neglected to attend the Committee on the Glasgow Bridge Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND moved that another Member be appointed in his Lordship's place, and that Lord GARDNER be summoned to attend in his place on Thursday, and state his reasons for his neglect. Lord BROUGHAM said that the attendance of Peers on Committees was compulsory, and that there was an in. stance on record in which a Peer had been fined 1001 for non•attendance on a Committee. After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to. A similar complaint was made of the non-attendance of Lord ORMOND on the Aberdeen Committee. The Noble Lord explained that he was out of town when the notice was left at his house, and did not re ceive it in time to attend. Lord CAMPBELL, after a short explanatory speech, re-introduced the Common Law Process Bills, which were read a first time. Some conversation then ensued on the subject of the treatment of Dr. KALLEI by the Portuguese authorities of Madeira, after which a long discussion arose on the motion for the second reading of the Tenants' Compen sation (Ireland) Bill, which, however, was at length agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned at a quarter past twelve. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Bill was read a third time and passed, after a short dis cussion. The third reading of the Oxford and Rugby Bill was, after a lengthy discussion, carried by a majority of 37, the numbers being—Ayes, 132 ; Noes, 95. The Deodands' Bill was read a second time. Mr. HUTT then brought forward his motion respecting the slave trade, and a discussion ensued, which was in terrupted by the House being counted, when, there not being 40 Members present, the debate terminated, and the House adjourned. The two great domestic reformers of our times are neither Father MATHEW nor ROBERT OWEN, nor Chartist leaders, nor Chairmen of Temperance Socie ties. There is no indispensable necessity for men to drink ardent spirits ; there is no Act of Parliament to compel them to forego their use. Men may pass through existence without once becoming cnndidates for a right of " common" in New Harmony, or a Lanarkshire parallelogram ; and it is quite pos sible for people to " eat, drink, and be merry," to exercise the rights of freemen, and even: delude themselves into the notion that they are comfortable citi zens, without once informing themselves about the seven points of " the" Charter. Where there is so much indif ference about which of the two alternatives we shall adopt, there is not enough of moral resistance to either, to make a reformer. Reforms exist only in virtue of resistance ; for without this principle what would there be for reform to work upon ? If porters and journeymen give up dram drinking, " by way of a change," it is possible they may derive so much comfort from the experiment as habitually to persevere in the practice. A reform in the habit of dram drinking, generally to make itself felt, sensible, obnoxious, must operate upon a sort of league among a large community of the public to drink the greatest possible amount of drams in the most public manner possible. The venerable Father MATtinw himself cannot reach the vice he would put down, so long as it is diffused through five hundred thousand private channels without being concentrated in any. Now, unhappily, lands and edifices which do not happen to be in that state of improve ment that comes up to certain arbitrary standards, pro posed by certain arbitrary authorities, are immobilia, which are always present and ready objects for the re forming operation. They cannot run away from the process. They can exercise no option whether they will be repressed, the one by fencing, cultivation, and drainage, the other by quaint devices, decoration, pull ing down on one side and building up on the other. Now, in respect of these two great elements of social property, your most untameable reformers are certainly Mr. BARRY and the Earl of LINCOLN. In our morning impression of Monday we published an announcement which has not yet received any contradiction, and to which we think ourselves bound to refer. Most of our readers will remember Mr. BARRY'S modest proposition for the reform of Westminster-bridge, in order to ac complish two objects, or rather to reform two defects. Mr. BARRY found that the span of the arches of the existing bridge was altoge ther too large, for the effect of the diminutive arches of his own new Houses of Parliament. It never occurred to him that the radical vita of these was, that for the very extended frontage of the river terrace they were altogether too small. It never occurred to him that since capacious arches to a capacious bridge thrown over a capacious river are necessary, as well as con venient for an extensive traffic between the Court end of the metropolis and ono of its most important suburbs, and between the frontiers of two metropolitan counties ; therefore it might be of less consequence that his arches should look too small, than that the arches of the bridge should be too small. 2dly, Mr. BARRY proposed, if he could succeed in per suading Parliament to remove the present bridge, to build another, in which he would " reform" the incon gruity of a Roman-like looking approach to a Gothic edifice, by making the arches of the pointed mediaeval style, and keeping down their span to dimensions more approximate to his own loop-hole porches. This was all very pleasant, but, fortunately, it was too prepos terous for the gullibility of those facile authorities— Commissioners, or howsoever named—who had already permitted him to indulge such extravagant vagaries as the infringing, we know not how many scores of feet, upon the waterway of the river, and the blocking up two arches of the bridge on the Westminster shore. Iu the same spirit, and with far greater success, he has "re formed," as we have over and again remarked, the de signs he was bound to follow, after being settled and sanctioned by a Committee of Parliament, by adding a new gallery, to the utter spoiling of his own original design, and at a cost of somewhere between 100,0001- and 200,000 L to the public. The Earl of LINCOLN, a reformer of lands as they are, cannot away with commons nor waste lands, nor rights of common and manor. He is for inclosing them wherever he can find them—and all, wonderful to state, with no other object than to benefit the poor. He would take from them the power of recreation and healthful amusement—all for their good, poor souls ! He would preclude the toil-worn artisan, the laborious smith, the loom-wearied weaver, from all chance of an occasional revel in fresh air and invigorating exercise, in order to reform their habits of enjoyment, we pi eauine. Yet still, the Noble Lord may err honestly—he may be mistaken. He may purpose disinterestedly that which his reform ing legislation will accomplish oppressively. No such plea surely can Mr._ BARRY set up for some of his ca prices. He might as well plead bis modesty as his excuse for them. And this brings us back to the paragraph with a notice of which we set out. We will repeat it. " WESTMINSTER HALL..—Scaffolding has been erected for some time against the gable of this ancient building in Old Palace-yard, for the purpose, it is said, of removing it alto gether ; and, of course, along with it the magnificent gothic window so universally admired." Can this be true, even of Mr. BARRY ? If it be, may cramp seize his sacrilegious hands who first dares to remove a stone of that venerable gable. Remove that noble window, through whose sculptured casement the light; of nearly eight centuries has streamed into the noblest Ball to be found in Europe, hallowed by all the grandest:associations of the Norman and Saxon Chivalry, which rallied round the peerless model of true Knight hood, the much maligned Rufus. That very window which has witnessed so many regal and baronial pageants, where the elevated dais ran imme diately under it in by-gone ages of fierce wars and faithful loves, " when high-born beauty smiled" on the festal throng of heroes, who had fought at Cressy or at Agincourt, or on occasions of more masculine and stern solemnity, the aspiring eye of a scion of Lancaster glared defiance through his steel-barred vizor at a son of York— where Plantagenets have judged, and Tudors have feasted ! But let Mr. BARRY experimentalise on the patience of the Lords and the Commons,— the forbearance of the one and • the ppurse ;-strings of the other—as long e.s they will permithim. He must not be permitted to indulge his i yglidalisui, his presumption ; sntl, Ws rum= be Won by ahead ; the third beat by a head.

ASSAULT. —Yesterday Mr. Joshua Rose Anderson, the brother.in-law of Madame Vestria, was charged at Marlbo rough-street, before Mr. Long. on a warrant which had been ob tained against him by his nurserymaid, Caroline Webb, for a vio lent assault committed by him upon her at his residence, No. 9, Bloomfield-road, Maid& .hill, ?Addington. The complainant de. scribed the nature of the assault. It appeared chat on some dis turbance taking place in the nursery, Mr. Anderson rushed up stairs, laid hold of complainant, shook her with conside. rable violence, pushed her against the banisters, over which he would no doubt have thrown her had she not held firmly by one of the rails. Mr. Anderson complained of the conduct of the girl, and raid he merely laid hold of her arm to remove her. Mr. Long was of opinion that improper violence had been used, and fined defendant 20s. and costa. At Worship-street Police-court, Mr. John William Chappenden, a tobacconist, carrying on business at 2, City-road, appeared to answer an information preferred by the Commissioners of Customs, under the 3d and 4th of William IV., cap. 53. sec. 44, charging him with having in his possession a large quantity of foreign manufactured tobacco, the duty upon which had not been paid, and was convicted in the penalty of 1251. Bs.. being three times the value of the contraband article found in his possession, or, in default of so doing, he must stand committed to prison. PRICE OF GOLD —The premium on gold at Paris is 19 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/ 17s. loid. per ounce for sta n d ar d gold, gives an exchange of 25 63 ; and the exchange at Paris =London at short being 25 75, it follows that gold is 0.47 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10 1 4 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 12 it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than M Hamburgh.

CHANCEtt -('I HIS DAY ) The Lord Chancellor sat for the first time to-day in the Court of Chancery since the last day of Trinity Term. His Lordship sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall. OLIJFIELD V. CORBETT. Mrs. Cohbett, at the sitting of the Court, applied to his Lord ship for a writ of habeas corpus, without payment of the fees, to bring tip Mr. Ccbbett from the Queen's prison, in order that he might make an application to the Court for his discharge. the LORD CHANCELLOR said he had fully considered the case, and he did not see why Mr. Cobbett should be treated more favour. ably than any other suitor. He had already heard Mr. Cobbett several times, and he could not grant the application without the payment of the usual fees. Mrs. Cobbett said that Mr. Cobbett had been moat cruelly treated. He had been imprisoned for tour years, and had been made a pauper by the proceedings that had been taken against him. Mr. Baron Parke had the other day decided that the commitment was bad. The Loau CHANCELLOR—Then why did he not discharge Mr. Cobbett ? Mrs. Cobbett—He could not do so, my Lord, without the pay ment of the costs, and those Mr. Cobbett, in consequence of the proceedings that have been taken against him, he could not pay. Will ycur Lordship grant the habeas, provided I can raise the money to pay the fees ? The LORD CIUNCELLOR—Mr. Cobbett will take any course he may think right ; at present I refuse the application because the usual tees have not been paid. Mrs. Cobbett then left the Court. Ilis Lordship then proceeded to hear appeal motions, none of which possessed any points of lutenist except to the parties con cerned. DOLLS' COURf.--(THIS DAY.)

His HONOUR was occupied toe whole day with demurrers and further directions.

His HONOUR was occupied the whole morning with motions. SE.O TH Is DA k,) (Before Mr. Secondary t'arrEß.) FLEMMING V. PARKER. This was an action on a bill of exchange, of which the defendant was alleged to be the inuorsee. The tiefendant had pleaded that he did not indorse the bill, but which plea he now abandoned. He, hue , ever, made an application that exe ution should be stayed until he could apply to the Court above, on the ground that the action was prematu►e, as it hau b.en commenced on the very 'lay on which the bill became due, ana that therefore he had not had a reasonable time to pay it. For the plain dr it was urged, that as the on 'y plea on therecord was that the defendant dot not accept the bill, but as it was proved that he did so, no question arose on the record which would justify toe Learned Secondary in retaining the writ. 'the SECoNIUMY said that with regard to the bringing the action on the day the mil bec,ime due, he mu not kinow any le; ; ;111 otjec- Min. He did not consider he had any power to retain th^ tint, ati there did riot appear any eriur on the ii.coid, oi any deficiency of pros I. The deli licant, however, could go before a judge, and make an application to stay execution until the Court above could b► applien to. A verdict was given for the amount claimed 1 \IARL.I3OII.O GIL STREET. (:1115 13 Edward Jones, Robert Grosvenor, and Charles Cobbett, young men of fashionable appearance, were placed at the bar charged with drunken and disorderly conduct, and also with violently as saulting the police in the execution of their duty. William Metcalfe, police-sergeant, No. 133 of the C division, stated that about four o'clock this morning as he was on du y Charles-street, St. James's square, he saw the defendants conduct. ing themselves in a very disoiderly manner, screaming, hooting, and shouting, and causing so much noise that set eral of the inhabi tants were aroused in alarm from their beds, and were looking out of windows to ascertain the cause. On his requesting the defen dants to move on in a peaceable manner they made use of grossly abusive language, and Jones and Grosvenor attacked and struck and kicked him several times ; he seized one in each hand arid they all fell together, he being uppermost, and while they were struggling on the ground, the defendant Cobbett assaulted witness several times by striking him over the head with the butt-end of his walking cane; he also took his rattle out of his pocket and was afterwards seen to throv. it away. Other constable., coming to witness's assistance, the defendants were, after a protracted resist ance, so violent that in the course of it their clothes were literally torn from their backs, secured. They were all very drunk, and at the station-house they described themselves as gentlemen, but re fused to give their address. Police-constable William Baston, 83 of the C division, ccrro borsted this statement. He was also assLulted by Grosvenor. Mr. MALTBY asked the defendants it they wished to say anything in their defence Y—Jones said, if the police had spoktn properly to them, no doubt they should have passed on without any dis turbance. Grosvenor said he had no answer to make. Cobbett said he had no recollection of what had taken place. Mr. MALTBY said he should tine them 51 each, or, in default of payment, two months to hard labour in kVestinincer Brtdt•weil. [fie defendants, not having the amount required about thetn, were locked up until they could procure it. CREMORNB HOUSE.—The house and grounds on the banks of the Thames, just beyond Chelsea, once the residence of the late Lord Cremorne, and since then known to the public by occasional fetes and exhibitions got up by the late baron de Berenger, have been opened for the present a...ason, under a new lessee, and with a spirit and an enterprise which promise and deserve success. This place, which is capable of rivaling Vauxhall or ancient llanelagli, has unfortunately been hitherto very badly managed as a place of public amusement; and as those who went there un..er the management of the last.named Perron—now no more —seldom or ever found much to be pleased with, the place fe 1 almost into oblivion, or was, at most, rarely thought of. On Monday the season there (if it may be so termed) was commenced under very favourable auspices. There has been a judicious outlay of a lerge sum of money. A ban luetting.room has been built, an extensive kitchen laid out, an ample store of those things which attract the lovers ot good living provided, hosts of waiters, and so forth, retained, end a sort of semi.dramatic corps of employes engaged tinder the direction of the celebrated Mr. T. Mattnevre, of Drury-lane 1 heatre, the greatest pantomimist of the day. lhese persons, liabited as Robin Hood and his merry men, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Scathelock, &c., with jocund bands of morrice dancers, perform a sort of sylvan interlude in the woods of the premises. There are dancing, archery, the songs of outlaws, and the sports of quarter staff. All this is well managed. Then come rope-dancing, the tricks of jugglers, and other such like pastimes. There is a good otchestra, and an effective band of musicians. The grounds are very delightful, the walks and trees and shrubs veroant and refreshing to " one in smoky cities pent," and who is wilting to breathe a little fresh air at a t ery small expense on the banks of the river. To-day the veterant aeronaut, Mr. Green, whose services have been secured, is to ascend for the SOlsr time, accompanied by ten persons, from the gardens in his monster bal , oon. Tire grotinue %vete well patronized for an opening day, and the company continued to enjoy the scene and the variety of amusements for many hours. The interior of the house has undergone some very judicious alterations, and it is now a commodious place of public amusement well worthy of general support. - EAST — INDIA MAILS.—SoUTHAINIPTON, JUNE 24, Six O'CLOCK, P.M.—The Great Liverpool has Just arrived in the Docks from Alexandria, and is landing the East India and China mails, which will be forwarded to London by to-night's mall. She left Alexandria on the 12th instant. This is the first of the India boats that has not stopped at the Mother bank to perform her quarantine. The Great Britain iron steam-ship arrived in Kingstown harbour on Sunday, about two o'clock. The utmost anxiety prevailed to witness her arrival, as the vessel was expects(' on Saturday evening, and her non-arrival gave rise to several ru mours, all of which proved happily unfounded. At half-past one the magnificent outline of the Great Britain was seen looming on the horizon, and in, half an hour " the living mass," hull, spars, and rigging, proudly bearing up against a head wind, entered Kingstown harbour, and anchored at the old jetty, bailed by the cheers of countless thousands who had assembled to witness the event. Vast crowds visited the vessel. ATTEMPTED SUICIDEII 7 ; LADY.—On Monday morning, between eight and nine o'clock, a most fortunate dis covery was made of an attempted suicide by the lady of Augustus Mentineto, Esq., residing in Albany.street, Re.. gent's.park. About six weeks since the unfortunate lady (who is only twenty years of age) was confined with her first child, and having quitted her bedroom too soon, she caught a violent cold, which brought on milk fever. On Mon. day morning she appeared considerably better, and quite tranquil, and asked her attendant to go clown stairs into the par. lour and request Mr. Mentineto to come and spe,:k to her. The nurse quitted the room and proceeded a short distance down the stairs, but suspecting wrong, she returned and found the unfoi. a silk handkerchief to the bed tunate lady busily engaged tying post, which she bad first fastened round her neck, for the purpose of suspending herself. She was immediately secures. STORM AT ST. CALAIS.--A letm• of thy. Ilth inst., from St. Calais, in the Sarthe, represents the storms in that country to have been most destructive. The waters came down from the F urroundiog hill, until they rose in St. Calais to the height of eight feet, brieging with them masses of rock, which, by their force broke into shops and destroyed quantities 'it goods. The harvests are lost, the rods ploughed up by the tor rents, bridges Woken down, mills and houses demolished. DELAY ON THE GREAT V .

Mr. HOPE and Mr. FoHsvrit appeared on behalf of the Town Council of Brichan, and the Hon. Stuart Wortley, Chairman of the Scottish Midland Junction Railway. Mr. Hors proposed that a clause should be introduced into the Bill, binding the promoters not to orpose a line of railway whic h might be projected by the Scottish Midland Junction Compaol from Drileton to Brichan. The Learned Counsel also claimed to be heard against the preamble of the Bill. • Mr. JAMES argued against the claim to be heard ag ainst ale preamble, ina,much as the opponents had o n a former occasion withdrawn opposition to that srage of the Bil l. He also could net", consent to the insertion of a clause relating to the construction oi another line of railway, as the general Act on such M atters vins sufficiently stringent The room was then cleared.

Mr. William Marphall, traffic accountant, WAS then called to prove the tra ffi c of the line, and in answer to the Noble CbaittllAt, stated that the traffic w,u'd increase in goods and Paiae ° g erg ' "Pet'lallY the latter, as the population had considerahly . 111 . • creases;, during the 1, 4 t. few years, in all the distric ts through whicn the line wilt ruin Tne room was then cleared, and. after a brief d e liberation,that the agents were called in, and informed by the Chairman u t amen d' preamble was agreed co. as were also the clauses, witho ment, am that the Bill would be reported. Their Lordships ti , en rose. LDINEUILGH AV« I, HAWICX. lall* On the reassembling of the Committee this morning, Mr. TALBOT proceeded to make his gen eral reply on behalf of promoters of the Bill. He stated if the Committee were 0( the opinion that it would be advisable to make a double line of rallwaY. he was instructed, on behalf of the promote rs, to agree to such a proposition, and it could be dune without raising anY extra mponnr of capital. The line as at present laid out was intended for: single ß line, but es it would be connected with the North Br t ' . alway, and the plant belonging to that line tieing sufficient for s double line, no extra expense would be incurred on the Vi nbu bo rg r h „ and Hawick.
