Where Mr. D'lsraeii hits Dill home, without a swerve of exaggeration or caricature, is in his sketches of the knaves and dupes of party. It would here be difficult to praise him too much, In orce of touch, in fidelity, in temper, in boldness sad witty spirit, ho is here without a rival.

In all the delinquencies of Parliament at the approaching close of a session, there is nothing so shocking as the steam power haste with which (the legislators being resolutely fixed on the day fur leaving the scene of their duties) the arrear products of legislation are consigned to the limbo of unfinished Bills and embryo motions and measures. Bills for the protection of partridges or the punishment of paupers ; for the creation of new channels of legal patronage, or for defrauding the poor of their rights of common and waste ; for extending, beyond all principles recognised by the common law or the Constitu tion the powers of the creditor to inflict the most merciless visitation on any debtor to him, under judgment, in a sum not exceeding 20/. ; or for arbitrarily interfering with the representative tf capital and with its employment— these, indeed, are carefully exempted from this unceremo nious handling. One would suppose that the Premier could mot sleep soundly in his bed, during the recess, without, in the first place, disburdening his conscience of the duty of previously seeing every objectionable or oppres— sive measure conducted through all its stages to the effective maturity of a statute. When the Earl of LINCOLN, with Lord WORSLEY'S assistance, has fenced out, warned off, and thrust back the hardy but poor yeomanry—the laborious but vulgar peasantry of England and Welesthe ever-toiling but ill-clothed and worse-fed artisans of our manufacturing districts-”-from ail the healthful fields of exercise and relaxation that yet re mained to them in the- wild commons' and healthful waste-lands of their native country ; lie can rush doWn by rail or steam-boat to the moors of the far north. Si' ,TAstEs GRAHAM, after breaking open the letters of 11....11AzzLer, libelling-his character, and then discovering " that he believes he meat have been 'mistaken" in the ter-, rible imputations that he had thus Cast on a foreigner, to whore tlici State had accorded the protection of ite'sairctuary; after "running-amuck" against all the " general practitioners' of the medical profession ; and replying to communications touching the disgusting mismanagement of paupers in union houses (to the unirnagired atrocities of which every day has since supplied fresh evidence), by vague and worth less protestations of his own incredulity on the subject,—Sir JAMES likewise, in his impatience " to be off," throws overboard all his pledges on matters of poor-law amendment, the improved sanatory condition of towns, Ac. &c. The grouse of Cumberland are still better flavoured than those of Inverness-shire, and the sport is little inferior. So this Lord of Netherby hastens from the haunting appeals of poor-law misery, and of dear connexions I unto*ardly mixed up with sorry explanations about the buyiiig and selling of railway shares. The Premier. having been again beaten off in his attempt to strangle the monetary.. system of Scotland, from which she ha s imbibed !be energy and buoyancy that have' sustained her for a century and a half, advancing her by slow, but always established, steps from one stage of political strength and improvement to another, contents himself with deter mining to complete fur that kingdom next year the same viz O t „ 4 +t v e..... , ;00itglf.zr- e • 8 '•••••0:ito- . 3 ,0 :S ,001DR017`, 111,, NiL - • 9t• THE II UN, LON_DON, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25, 11145. process of' monetary disorganisation and ruin which he has already ducceeded in applying to this. But all adequate provision for " Harbours 'of Refuge" on our southern and eastern_ coasts—all conservative measures of an enlightened humanity, for the better protection of industrial labour— all efforts towards the modification of admitted deficiencies in the social systems of which he has assumed to himself no small degree of credit, for being the great orignator (let us instance particularly the Metropolitan Police-courts and force, and the Courts of Petty Session in their jurisdiction of summarily convicting) ;—all these the Right Hon. Premier leaves either wholly uncommenced, or, ' if began, in the plight of-the "adventure of the bear and fiddle,"—broken off "in the middle." He is content to leave the several recommendations of the numerous " Commissions' which he has granted or supported—as dead letters; untouched or unimproved. No progress has been made in enforcing the regulations reported to Parliament as necessary to be adopted " for the better prevention of ship wrecks ;" and as little in carrying out the practical advice of the first naval men in and out of Parliament, as to the best means of keeping up a sufficient number of able seamen cn service, and of reinforcing that number with any required addition, through the grant of half-pay, or pensions, to such men from the moment of their being first paid off out of active service; their title thereto being the condition of re ceiving such provision, in the nature of a retaining fee for their services, whenever these are called for by the Government. Nothing more consolatory has yet been effected to ensure the adoption of those principles of ameliorated construction, improved efficiency, and increased armament which have ever and again been pressed upon their attention, and acknowledged by their reluctant admissions to be absolutely indispensable to the maintenance and security of our naval supremacy (especially as to the steam arm of the force) in any future maritime war. AU this is " true, 'tis pity—pity 'tis, 'tis true." But of how much less moment to the community, these instances of a graceful, well-bred neglect of the " bores" of official duty, than would be the serious moral evil which must ensue from a failure in the First Lord of the Treasury, the First Secre tary of State, and the First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, to respond to those more exciting and interesting appeals—the calls of the grouse at this time of year What would be said if Right Honourable Minis ters of the Crown did not discharge that most important of their functions which is identified with the discharge of their double Masrroiss and PURDYS on the 12th of August ? The " wastes" over which the Earl of LnscoLsr sports were never meant to be " inclosed " by that lofty genius which presides over the spluttering of flower-pot fountains—the ornamental (I) decoration of mocksasphalte pavements, that almost rival the magnificence of a pri son tennis-court—or the hopeless contrivances for re ...deeming the anomalous cockneyisms of a "National Gallery," into which the exquisite connoisseurship of her MAJESTY'S principal servants has admitted two or three of the most palpable forgeries, paid for by prices that should have purchased the chef d'ceuVres of RAPHAEL MICHAEL ANGELO, or TITIAN. The wastes to be shut up were those from which, without these iniquitous Acts of Parliament, the poor could not have been shut—nut Some injury to the national service may still be to be dreaded from discontent among the best and bravest of our seamen, labouring under the im pression that their interests are neglected, their just expectations thwarted by a niggardly economy, the only attempted excuse for which is, that it enables the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make a better array of balances in the financial statements that he delivers, with so much unction, every year to the House of Commons. But what of all this ? Not to hurry down to ric ,:omplish for the birds their illustrious destiny of dying by Ministerial guns would, doubless, create a spirit of the most dangerous disaffection and resentment among the grouse and black game of the North. Let public busi ness, therefore, take care of itself ! Still, to speak seriously, the interests of human life demand somewhat more of decent attention, of external manifestations of consideration, if not of active sympathy, than they receive at the hands of our rulers. How often have we had occasion to refer, as each new recur ring casualty has been announced, to the scandalously neg lected resolutions and propositions of the Select Committee on Accidents in Mines. The most urgent and the most simple precautions by which vigilance and care may hope to guard against the operation of powerful subterranean agents of destruction, are still but partially adopted throughout the kingdom ; and the sacrifice of all the hecatombs of human victims which in a single year they sa eep away, seem powerless to arouse either the First Lord of the Treasury or the First Secretary of State, in the closing period of a stssion, to the great duty of steadily and strictly enforcing their general introduction in the localities that must necessarily suffer from the absence of them. In addition to the sad, the appalling catalogue of colliery explosions we have had to record within the present year, our paper of to-day gives an account of two more, which, in our present deficiency of absolute evidence in these cases, we will not undertake to say, have been caused by a similar neglect of the similar precautions we allude to. But they powerfully corroborate all the solicitude we have ex pressed on this painful subject. At the Tividale Coalworks, near Dudley, no less than six unfortunate labourers have been killed by fire-damp—many more wounded ; but at Jarrow Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, thirty live dead bodies have already been brought up, out of, pro bably, many more victims, exterminated by an explosion of the fire- damp ; and of 14 others who were retrieved alive, but severely wounded, three or four have since died. ..The fate of others who still remain entombed were, at the last advices, un known, but may be too readily anticipated ! These terrible accidents have signalized one short week ! Had the duty of that supervision of such mines been adequately fulfilled before Parliament separated for the holidays, which the ' reports of the Committee in question devolved on the Home 1 Department, and the head of the Government, we may surely assume that it is very possible they might have been, and would have been averted. The assembling, on Thursday last, of a jury, or inquest, sum moned by the City of London Coroner, .‘ to inquire by what means a certain house in Aldermanbury had been burned," is an event of sufficient interest to call for especial notice. In modern practice it is quite a novelty to assemble the Coroner's court after a fire, where there has been—as fortunately the case was in the recent destruction of the Messrs. BRADBURY and COMPANY'S enormous premises and stock—no sacrifice of human life. Mr. PAYNE justly observed, however, that he was only acting in strict conformity with the ancient usage of his office ; and a most salutary usage we conceive it to be, and we heartily trust that it will be generally revived by coroners. On every ground of policy and protection, it is desirable that, when serious accidents have happened in large towns, their origin and history should be narrowly inquired into. The result may be to prevent their recurrence in fu ture, or to bring to light important facts in relation to the cases investigated. It is well that there should be some juris diction to make inquisition into affairs which, as really con cerning every body, would otherwise be affairs looked after by nobody. There are a thousand conceivable, though generally latent, causes to which the firing of dwelling-houses and warehouses may be attributable, the knowledg e o f ,which can only be arrived at by means of such inquiries. It is highly probable (though we put the matter hypothetically, of course,) that had there been an inquest on the last pre ceding fire which had occurred in the Cit3r, without loss of life, the destruction of the Fenchurch Chambers, with loss of life, might have been prevented. Unsuspected agents of spontaneous combustion may be possibly detected, every now and then, by inquiries of this kind, which will be thus serviceable, not only to the protection of life and property, but to the interests of science. Setting aside all considera tions of this latter nature, fire inquests (if we must so call them) would undoubtedly demous.rate dangerous and de fective modes of lighting the interior of private dwellings, and also of warehouses and store-rooms ; of constructing flues and setting up fire-places; and running main timbers, the indication of which would assuredly operate to produce their removal, where convenient or practicable, from existing houses, &c., and to prevent their intro duction into such tenements and premises in 'future. It might be well if a public notice of the par ticulars of every such case, and the finding of the jury in full, were affixed to the church doors, or other public places, for the information aid guidance of the parochial or district community. The inquest of Thursday was fur ther remarkable for the additional proofit has supplied of that culpable, almost criminal, and altogether unintelligible neg leet and apathy, with which the securities and resources supposed to be provided, and very largely paid for, in fact, by the community, are allowed in the most dense and wealth sections of the city of London to fall into desuetude and oblivion. One of the unfortunate partners in the house of BRADBURY, GREATOREX, and BEALL, stated, in his evidehce, that the fire-plug could not be found for a considerable time, although the directing-board on the house-front clearly indi cated that the distance was 17 feet in a specified direction. It turned out, on the information of a juror, that this plug had long previously been removed from the position so indi cated at the request of another of the partners in the same firm. Now, what the public at large is clearly interested in ascertaining is—Was this alteration of the communication with the fire-pipe or main duly reported ?to what quarter? by whom ? and does there exist any registered evidence -of the fact? If there be no officer charged by the Water works Company, or other authority, with the duty ofreportir g such alterations, and no certain ascertained department en trusted with the care of noting such reports, the neglect of such ordinary precautions in a matter of such signal import ance is a strange deficiency in the precautionary police or municipal regulations of a great city. If there be such an officer or department, how comes it that the old ditecting board has not long since been replaced by an amended one, showing the altered position of the plug? It was proved before the inquest in this case, that when, at length, the true plug was found, considerable difficulty and delay were experienced before any supply of water could be ob tained. This does appear to us to be a state of things per fectly unpardonable in such a city as London, and such a portion of it as Aldermanbury, where there is nothing to pre vent the supply from being, at all times, mot abundant. It is not too much to assume that, in all probability, a timely and adequate supply of water might have caused, with corn• paratively little injury to the stock, the extinction of a fire which has probably consumed a more enormous amount of property than any burning of private premises which has happened in London for' - several years past. The early hour at which the flames were first discovered, and the fact that they were seen, by all the evidence which was taken, to have originated in the basement or &lan of the house, raise the very strongest presumption that had the water-mains been duly supplied, a calamity that has probably visited upon a hitherto . opulent and very ex tensive trading firm losses to an enormous amount, might have been averted. We lament that the Coroner did not call before him the turnkeys and others, who are bound to explain why there was all this fatal " unreadiness" for such an exigency as that of Monday night last. Again, we repeat that had a similar species of inquest sat, and returned its verdict, upon the last preceding fire, without loss of life, there would, in all likelihood, have been a speedy and effective check upon the conflagration in Aldermaubury. In the next place, it was stated by Mr. BEALL that great diffi culty had been always experienced in turning off the gas below, a difficulty which, where the supply is so large, is evidently an element of constant danger. It we mistake not, the Corporation of London, in reply to the repeated applications that have been made to it by other parties for a participation in the supply of gas to the city, under the newest and most scientific improve ments for its safe and efficient regulation, have persistedin upholding their Chartered Company, or a strict monopoly of the gas contract. It would have been important to ascer tain, and we recommend the point to the next " fire inquest" that may be impannelled in tbeCity,whether or not the diffi culty spoken to of turning off the gas is one which is ex perienced, in an equal or a less degree, by those who use the fittings and apparatus of the more modern but excluded companies,• with those who are compelled to adhere to the supply and management of the chartered monopoly ? In relation to these and other such points, interesting to a conservative municipal policy, we are rejoiced to find Mr. PAYNE coming forward to re-establish an ancient, and, as we conceive, valuable employment of the functions of his impor tant office. We have received accounts from Leipsic of the 17th. The students had continued to do military duty up to that time, but they are now relieved from it, and replaced at , all the points they occupied by the Communal Guard. The troops were still confined to their barracks. On the 15th the KING and QUEEN arrived at Leipsic from Dresden. Their Majesties went among the people, by whom they were received with en thusiasm. The KING promised that a rigid inquiry into the af fair of the 12th should take place, and that he would provide for the children of the victims. He then went to the hospital to console the wounded. On the same day about thirty persons, who had assembled before the barracks hooting the soldiers, were arrested. On the 17th the Municipal Council and the officers of the Communal Guard, met at the Town-hall, to receive the reply of the KUNG to the addresses that had been presented to him. The KING'S Commissioner, M. DE LAN GEUN, read the following as the answer of his MAJESTY : " I have received the Deputies of the city of Leipsic, who came to express to me the pain that had been indicted upon them by the eve►.ts of the 12th, and to give me the assurance of their fidelity and devotedness. I think it right to communicate what follows to the city of Leipsic, and I desire that the public may be made ac quainted with it. I was happy and- proud to reign over a faithful people, respecting law and justice, and who have so often mani fested their attachment to the dynasty, under the most difficult cir- CUlllsratiCt.S. Relying upon and respecting the constitution of the country, I was jitstified in hoping that the Saxon people, penetrated with its spirit, would remain faithful to it even in the most stormy times, and that they would sever depart from the constitution and the laws. I have been the more grieved that the second city of the kingdom, in which I loved to reside, and in which I have received so many proofs of fidelity and devotedness, a city so happy and flourishing as Leipsic, should have been the theatre of such an attack, inasmuch as the law has been violated in the person of my beloved brother, who, to perform a patriotic duty, had, full of kindness and cond. deuce, presented himself in the midst of the citizens. lam prefouwily afflicted to see that the public opinion has been ehamet!liy excited by reports as ignoble as unfounded. I recom mend, paternal y and seriously, that no faith should be placed in them. I pity deeply the victims, perhaps innocent, who have fallen in consequence of the necessary intervention of the troops. A se. vere and impartial investigation into the conduct of the authorities will throw light on all this affair, and if well-thinking citizens unite their efforts, order will be maintained, and more severe measures, to have the laws respetted, will not be necessary. But I must de clare, with protound grief, that my previous confidence in et city in which the idea of such acts could arise, and be put into execu ti gin , is shaken. Therefore is it that I address with kindness and firmness rity royal word to the great number of the loyal citizens of Leipsic, who have at heart the welfare of their country and of the city, and the honour of the Saxon name. May they rally round the £hrone and the Constitution, and resist with force and 111 dignity the efforts of those who are opposed to coustttuiional order, so that the law may remain inviolable, and that my ancient confidence, in a city which has always been dear to my heart, may be restored." Ater the reading of the reply, the President of the assem bly exclaimed, •• Long live the King!" and the whole k,f the persons present repeated the cry. On the same day the King's reply was posted up on all the walls of the town, and the Municipal Council announced that an extraordinary corn mission had been formed for receiving such claims as any individuals may have to make. The Municipal Council also announced that, according to the moAprecise information, the perso:ls killed were Messrs. Nordmann, Prieur, Jelin, Frey gang, Muller, Kleeberg, and Arland, and that five persons were wounded. Prince JOHN, immediately on his arrival at Dfesden, went :o the Castle of Pilnitz, but is about to have Germany for I Laly. The Leipsic Gaze,' te of the 15th contains a declaration by Major DE JECHAN, adjutant of the staff of the communal guards of that city, to the effect that Prince Joint did not give the order to fire on the 12th. General I:loci-low, the new Prussian Ambassador. at St. Petersburgii, has arrived in that city. Before proceeding to his post, he had been charged by the King of PRUSSIA with a secret mission to the King of HANOVEM It would appear from the following extract, from a letter dated Athens, Aug. 8, that Cm.E.Trz still persists in carrying out the designs of himself and his co-conspirators to swindle the Greeks out of their Constitution :—" On the sth lust. the KING yielded to the long-persisted-in solicitations of CoLErn, and swamped the Senate by the creation of 16 new senators. Their names are CHIiISTIDES, MAIKsoLAs, A. Dot:CAS, THEOTOKY, KARACATZANI, KARASIENO, DELYLTI, CANELOPULO, DARIOTTIS, ELIOPOLIS, MELAIKIS, HADGI PETRoS, 31Exis, D. BULGARLS, GLARAKIS, arid CON- ToumAs. The two last named are KLNG'S men. The others are all creatures of CoLET - rfs. Immediately on his MAJES TY'S signing their diplomas, METAXA, the Minister of Finance, gave in his resignation, which was accepted. He stated that his reason for resigning was, that he considered this act (the nomination of the new Senators) as both prejudicial to the throne and to the nation. It is the general opinion of the best-informed persons here that a violent crisis is approaching, and it is clear that a de termined conspiracy exists against the Constitution, which conspiracy is most warmly supported, and almost openly, by more than one of the Ministers of the European Powers. Madrid Papers to the 16th have arrived. The Gazette publishes a convention between the Governments of Spain and Portugal, fixing the precise attributes of the consuls of the two nations, and which was signed at Lisbon on June 26. The Progressist and Moderado journals of all shades attack with extreme violence the Ministry of NARVAEZ and theacti of the Government. The Tiempo and Globo maintain that it is impossible for NARVAEZ and his colleagues to continue in power iu opposition to the unanimous manifestations of the press and public opinion, and that it is their duty to retire or immediately convoke the Cortes. The Tit?lipo has a long article attacking the Government fur having authorised the Duke of SoToasavoa to, offer a building at the Havannah to the English Government as a depot fqr freed negroes. The same journal states, that the proprietors of houses were preparing a remonstrance against the impost on house-rent. According to El Espectador, a rumour, believed to be well founded, is in very general circulation, of an approaching modtication of the Cabinet.' It adds, that two additional Mini,ters were to be named, one of Public Works, and the other of the Colonies. Among the rumours afloat were those of the Aliniter or Foreign Affairs having tendered his resigna • Gt, and of a Carlist plot having been detected at Tolosa; b.t neither report obtained much credence. The two younger nuns of Urn CAuLos have, according to the Herald°, eaten. his Sardinian Majesty's service, one as colonel of the cavalry regiment of Savoy, with a pay of 6,000 francs; the other as major in the regiment of Arqui, with a pay of 4,100 francs. The Heraldo publishes the instructions issued by the Finance Minister, according to which the unsold Church property is to restored to the clergy. The same journal mentions the fact of a priest in Avila having extorted from a man in his dying moments a promise that he would cause to be restored to the Church a large amount of property which he had bought. The priest ordered a notary to be sent for, and the will was made out according to his wish; and, to the astonishment of the family of the deceased, for he died in a few hours after, it was found that everythicg was left to the Church. De cA.ased's wife and children intend disputing the validity of the will. His name was TARAVEM, and he had been deputy for Avila. The Barcelona journals state that the Company for a rail road from Barcelona to Mataro has received the royal autho risation to commence the work, and to import whatever materials, machines, &c., may be required, either for the working or carrying on the railroad, provided they are not to be had in Spain, or would come dearer by eight per cent. than if imported from another country. The Three per Cents. were rather firm to-day, for cash; they were quoted at 31% ; 31% at 60days. 23,600,000 reals done. Five per Cents., 22% at 60 days. 2,000,000 reals done. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The storm of Tuesday had blown down three factories at Rouen, and buried several hundreds of unfortunate human brings in the ruins. The particulars of this dreadful disaster will be found in another column. The lowest estimate of the num ber who have suffered in this dreadful calamity is 40 killed and 120 wounded, many of the latter so severely, that there is but little probability of their recovery. The Prince and Princess DE JOLNYILLE arrived at Paris on Wednesday. M. Tiiiius returned to Paris from Vichy on Wednesday. The Prince and Princess DE SALERNO, father and mother of her Royal Highness the Duchess D'AUMALE, have arrived at the Chateau d'Eu. The Journal des .Debats has the following on the subject of the German Catholic Church : " We are assured that the Prussian Government is about to take severe measures for arresting the progress in Germany of the new sect of Catholic Dissenters. A circular has seen sent by the Minister of the Interior to all the censors of the kingdom, directing them to strike out every article having the slightest tendency to promote these religious movements, which may be proposed to be inserted in any of the journals, or other periodicals, which are not expressly authorised to treat upo n th ese quest i ons. " _ _ General GALBOIS has been ordered to proceed to Algiers to organise the Spahis, or native cavalry, into three regiments— those of Algiers, Oran, and Constantine; each regiment to consist of six squadrons. One of the squadrons of the regi ment of Algiers is to go to Senegal. We extract the following on tte subject of the concession of the Great Northern Railroad from Getlignani's Messenger " We mentioned yesterday that a deputation of the English Committee of the Decan-Lebeuf Company for the Northern Railroad had waited on the Minister of Public Works. This course had been adopted by these gentlemen In consequence of reports having been circulated that the company was not in a condition to send in a tender for the line. The more immediate object of the visit to the Hon. Minister was to convince him that all the conditions required by law had beeu strictly complied with, that the capital had been fully made up, and that the necessary vouchers and documents, as well as the caution money, could be deposited with him at any moment he pleased. Mr. F. Mowatt, the president of the Committee, in order to convince the Hon. Minister that the whole transactions of the Company were of a bona Me character, exhibited, exhibited to M. Dumon the amount of the English subscription in Bank of England notes. The Minister received the deputation with great politeness, and listened to their statement with marked attention." The National comments warmly upon the coalition of capitalists which has taken place for the purpose of securing the adjudication, acd concludes in these words— " The Minister of Public Works should not hesitate. Let him first order an inquiry, and next the postponement of the adjudication. Ile is called upon to do this by the interest of the treasury, of his own honour, and of his ministerial existence." The fall in our Stock Exchange on Tuesday, and the in creasing scarcity of money in Paris, induced a decline of prices on the Bourse on Tharsday. Towaala the close of business an actual panic prevailed, in consequence of a report of the illness cf the KING. It was also said that an attempt had been made against the life of the Duke de NEMOURS at Mont de Marsan ; but the real cause of the fall was supposed to have been occasioned by a further depression in Consols . on Wednesday.

MATECNCE, Ana. 18.—Her Majesty left this morning for Wurriurg, at seven o'clock, in a carriage and four, followed by her suite in two other carriages, and escorted by a party of Prussian Lancers. The royal party expect to arrive at Wurzburg at about eight o'clock this evening, but it is probable that they have not sufficiently calculated on the slowness of German postilions. Salutes were fired as the Queen left, and there was a slight additional bustle in the streets. Her Majesty and suite dined yesterday at the Government house with Prince. Wiliam of Prussia. They left at nine o'clock, and returned to their hotel. In the afternoon, at three o'clock, the royal party attended Divine servi. e In •the Protestant Church. The Rev. Mr. Dunnage performed the service. A day or two may elapse after the publication of this communication before any further account of her Majesty's progress can be received in London. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday, was firmer. Sales 5,000 to 6,000 bales, at previous rates.—Shares were also better. By accounts of April 2d from Melbourne, per William Wise, we infer that matters must be tolerably prosperous there; fur the squatters' balls, cricket matches, races, and regattas, telt a tale of light hearts, but, may we hope, not of light pockets. There had been a great many robberies in the town. Referring to last night's Gazette, we find again that there is a lessened circulation, the total amount of notes cancelled in both departments being 253,960/. The private deposits have been withdrawn, so as to occasion a diminution front 10,187,780/. to 8,973,401/., a larger reduction than fur a long time past, and which is perhaps the more to be re marked because money continws comparatively cheap, from the temporary placing in the different metro: olitan banks of the amount of deposits returned to the new Railway Com panies by the Accountant-General in Chancery. The public deposits are again larger, by 935.1961. The seven day and other bills have hien used by 324,126/., amounting to 1,374,3461. The Bank, therefore, has increased its discount business.

The adjourned debate in the cue of the Raja of Sattara, was resumed on Saturday morning at ten, at which hour Sir Henry Willock, the Chairman, accompanied by the Directors, entered the Court, when he found his place already occupied by a Mr. Peter Gordon. and that Mr. George Thompson had taken his seat within the bar. Both gentlemen refused to quit their respective position:, upon which Sir Henry Willock said that if Mr. Peter Geirdon did not vacate his seat he would send for the officers and have him turned out. Mr. THOMPSON thereupon declared that the Court of Directors had a right to elect their own chairman, and the present course had been adopted in order to maintain that right ; but to show that he did not wish to offer any factious opposition to Sir Henry Willock taking his usual place in the court, he would now move that Sir Henry Willnck do take the chair. Mr. PETER GORDON seconded the motion, upon which Mr. Ilona rose and said that he trusted the court would repu diate the motion altogether. Sir Henry Willock had a right to take the chair in that Court ; he being the legally appointed chairman not of the Court alone, but of the Hon. mast Inuia Com pany, he trusted that no further obstacles or impediments would be thrown in the way. If there should, he should at once move that the Court do now adjourn. Sir H. WILLOCK then said, pointing to the Chair—By virtue of the right which I legally possess, I now call upon the officers of the Company to expel that gentleman, Mr. Gordon, from the chair. Two officers approached and put their hands upon Mr. Gordon for that purpose, Mr. Gordon hereupon left the chair amidst a scene of confusion such as was never before witnessed In this Court, and which lasted for a considerable time after, ieveral Directors and Proprietors speaking at the same time, Mr. G. Thompson's voice being heard above all the rest. The CHAIRMAN at length took his seat, and said that as the ex traordinary occurrences of the day must firm the subject of legal proceedings elsewhere, he trusted that the debate would now be allowed to gu on without further interruption. The debate then proceeded.—After a debate that lasted several hours, the resolutions in favour of a further inquiry into the case of the Rajah of Sattara, which had been proposed by Mr. George Thompson, and seconded by Mr. Sullivan, were negatived by a large majority. The amendment proposed by Mr. Lewis met with a similar fate, and the resolution of the Directors net to interfere further in the matter having been carried, the Court adjourned at five o'clock. We have been informe.i by the friends of Mr. Mordaunt (the gentleman who was seriously injured on Wednesday last by the coming off of a wheel of one of the Notting-hill omnibuses) that he is going on most favourably. His injury is confined to a severe compound fracture of his leg. CONSECRATION OF HOLY TRINITY CHURCH AT MILTON.—This beautiful structure having been completed, was, on Thursday last, consecrated by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Ro chester, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Joynes (the incumbent), son of Dr. Joynes, Vicar of .iravesend, in the presence of a vast assemblage of the inhabitants and visitors of the town of Gravesend. THE ORGAN GRINDING Nu ISANC E.—At the Queen square Polic-court, on Friday, [Vincent Jaspereni, an Italian, was charged with disturbing a sick lady, by playing an organ near her residence in Chester-square, and.was fined the full penalty of 405., or fourteen days' imprisonment.

Carter held an inquest at the Rising Sun, York-road, Lambetb, on the body of George Myers Whiles, aged seven years, whose parents reside at No. 16, Haddon street, Waterloo-road. The deceased left home on Tuesday evening between five and six o'clock with his hoop, and whilst trundling it along the pavement near Waterloo-bridge, he suddenly fell down in a fit. He was picked up and carried into the surgery of Mr. Cooke, but he died soon alter from some affection of the brain. The jury returned a Terdict of "Natural death." COWES, ISLE OF 'WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL Y.V..:HT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. The sailing matches here, which have been kept up with great spirit, have closed tor the present; that between the Heroine and the Secret is put off till next week. The one that surprised very one was the handicap, when the Alarm, supposed to be the fa,test yacht in England, was beaten, fairly beaten, in her own town breeze, a good stiff one too, by a small yacht of little more than 30 tons—the Heroine. All nautical men are perfectly astonished at it—it has caused quite a revolution in their Ideas : weight for inches, time for tons, is at an end; not a word more about supe rior size must have it. It is said this vessel is on a new principle; that the foot of her sternpoat plumbs with her running tackle, and that though so small she draws 12 feet water 1 The town is thinning fast; the Marquis of Anglesey and family leave this ttay anti to.merrow. Mr. Hallifai left Egypt House yesterday, and within a kw drys many otheis will be off ; there is generally a change at this season of the year, when numbers resort here for the bathing months (September and October). The royal children are still at Osborne House—that is, we sup pose so, as we have not heard of their departure ; but they are as little spoken of or heard of as if they were not in the island: we may almost say, Oh, no, we never mention them—ti.eir names are never heard." Her Majesty is expected to return to Cowes on the 10th of September. A great numbur of workmen are employed ; those who knew Osborne six months ago would not know it know. " " COURT CIRCULAR.

FARREN, JUN.—This gentleman, the son of the eminent comedian, has proceed e d t o Florence, for the p urpose of completing his musical education, preliminary to a debut on the English stage, which, we understand, there is every reason to believe will be a decidedly successful one.

Farren. If the debutant in futuro gives leis hearers anything like the gratification which it derives from his father, the Messrs. Farren, comedian and singer, will have to be regarded as public benefactors. A POWERFUL ENGINE.—An engine of truly gigantic dimensions has just been constructed at the Broomsgrove station, on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, under the direction of Mr. M'Connell, the locomotive superintendent of that line, and, like her great contemporary on the ocean, has been appropriately named the " Great Britain." This iron giant has proved its power to be equal to the conveyance of upwards of 1,000 tons on the level rails, and has .ascended the Lickey incline on the above railway, with a load of 150 tons, thus surmounting a gradient of 1 in 37, a feat of locomotive power hitherto without a parallel. The dimensions of this mammoth engine are as follow :—viz., diameter of cylinder, 18 inches ; length of stroke, 26 inches ; six wheels coupled, 46 inches ; leaving a tank over the boiler for a supply of water, and a foot plate sufficiently large to hold boxes containing the coke necessary for a trip up and down the incline. This is by far the largest locomotive .engine that has yet been made—it is now in daily use, and is worked with the greatest facility. SINGULAR CASE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION.- On Friday Mr. Carter went into an inquiry at the Windmill, Wynd ham-road, Camberwell, as to the death of Mrs. Mary Wells, aged 33, of Thomas-street, Wyndham-road. On Tuesday, about midday, he deceased was standing by the side of a corn binn, giving directions about the preparation for the dinner, when she sudden y fell on her back on the floor. Her brother went to her assistance, and disco vered she was turning black in the face. Medical assistance was sent for, and on the arrival of the surgeon an attempt was made to - bleed her, - -but only a few•drops could be obtained, and she was pro nounced dead. Mr. Chabot, of High-street, Camberwell, surgeon, stated he had often attended the deceased, who was frequently at tacked with suspended animation, aria ng from disease of the heart, and that was, no doubt, the cause of her death. Verdict, "Natural death." __ A HUNGRY RAT.—Oa Friday morning, a poor woman of the name of Walters, residing in a kitchen or cellar in Dudley-street (late Dlonmouth• street), went out at an early hour to purchase water tresses tbr the purpose of vending, leaving her hus band and infant asleep in bed on the floor. The father of the child was awoke by the screams of the infant ; on looking to see what was the cause, in turning down the sheet, a large rat ran from under it, and escaped into a hole, the child having been dreadfully bitten in the left breast and side of the neck. The parts bitten have since been cauterised. HE FIRE IN ALDERMANBURII.—Bradbury, Great orex, and Co., were on Friday fortunate enough to recover all their books and valuable domments from their sale.

ILLEGALITY OF INN TAPS.—The Excise have c,m menced laying informations against the occupiers of the taps attached to inns, hotels, taverns, or other public-houses, for selling exciseable liquors without license. A series of informations of this description were heard in Hull before the Mayor and Mr. Palmer, on Thursday last, when the facts being proved of the sale of the liquors, and of the occupiers of the taps not being the identical p , :rties to whom the respective licenses for the inns were issued, the magistrate had no alternative than to convict, which they did in :the lowest mitigated penalties of'l2/. 10s. each.— Yorkshire Gazette. rIIa _LATE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTIIERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY.—On Friday morning Major-Gm - tent Pasley, the Government Inspector of Railways, proceeded down the /s and Eastern Railway by the express train, to institute his official in quiry Into the cause of the recent accidents on that line, and to make a further and more minute inspection of the made ay with a view of ascertaining its solidity. At the Bristol Assizes on Thursday an action was tried, In which 'Mr. Bromhead sought to recover from Mr. Hall, an attorney, the sum of 1981., which the plaintiff had to pay as costs of an action, which the defendant Hall had defended without any autho rity from the plaintiff. The jury gave A verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. • At 14i , •erpo:)1 Assizes, on Thursday, an action was brought by a workman in a factory at Wigan, to recover one month's wages In consequence of his being discharged without notice. The case was of some importune, as it would regulate the decision to be given in many other cases of the kind. The plaintiff and others in the same factory had " struck," though not for wages. The plaintiff failed to make it avear that the custom was to give a month's wages or a month's notice, and he was accordingly nonsuited. IMPORTANT TO NE% SVENDERs.—CONTRADICTORY newspapers.

Mr. Commissioner D u b o i s —Th a t d oe s not matter; it is a fraud upon the Stamp-offi ce, and you render yourself liable to an indictment being laid against you far it. The defendant did not deny th a t h e owed something, but from the dictum of the Comm i s si o ner in th e first instance, "that the plaintiff could not recover," thought it would be his province to dismiss the case. This, however, was not done ; and in opposition to his previous opinion that the defendant was not bound to pay a debt contracted under illegal cir,cumstances, the Com missioner ordered the defendant to pay the full amount claimed.

Baronet, who was pre sent, entered into a lengthened statement of his principles, which appeared so satisfactory, that the tweeting agreed to a resolution, pledgit•g itself to support Sir W. Molesworth as a candidate for the representation of the borough. Among the gentlemen who ad dressed the meeting was the Rev. Mr. Aldis, who stated that he was a Dissenter, and was opposed to the grant to Maynooth'; but although he was so, and although the Dissenters of that locality were likewise opposed to that grant, they would still vote for Sir Wm. Molesworth. He knew Mr. Miall well. He was an able man, and a gentleman of great respectability and undoubted talent. Still he felt himself compelled to vote for Sir W. Molesworth. If it was possible for him to send to Parliament the man whom he should choose, then would he vote for Mr. Miall ; but they were to deal with possibilities. They were not to consider what they should like to do, but what was attainable.—(Hear, hear.) MEETING OF MR. MIA LL'S FRIENDS. Friday evening a meeting of Mr. Miall's friends was held at Knighton's Assembly-rooms, Webber.street, fllackfriars-road, for the purpose of hearing that gentleman's political principles. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. MIALL addressed the meeting in strong and energetic terns against the Maynooth Grant, against the Poor-law, against the Commons Inclosure Act, and against centralization. Among the friends of Mr. Miall who addressed the meeting on his behalf, was COOPER, the Leicester Chartist, who told the meet ing he had only been six weeks out of Stafford G.tol, where he had been confined for two years, and where he would return for two years more in defence of the principles which Mr. Miall advocated A resolution pledging the meeting to support Mr. Miall was then agreed to, MEE - cING OF MR. PILCHER'S FRIENDS. A meeting of electors of the borough favourable to Mr. Pitcher was held on Friday night at the Bridge House Hotel, London-bridge. Mr. Pri.ciisa, who was present, declared himself in favour of free trade on the most extended principle, and opposed to the Maynooth grant, because he considered it opposed to the princi ples of Protestawism. In answer to questions of different electors, he said he would oppose any grant of public money for Church extens:on, and that he would not support the Ballot He wa: asked it he would support Mr. Villiers': annual motion foe a re peal of the corn laws. He replied that he should riot like to be sent into Parliament shackled. The question should have his fullest consideration and most carerul attention, and he 'should act in a manner which he thouilit most conducive to the interests of the whole country. Free trade was but a question of time, and ere long he was persuaded it would be carried into effect. He co,- sidered Sir Robert Ped was only considering the best and safest method of carrying it into effect.—(Cheers.) A resolution was then proposed to the efPct, that Mr Filcher was a fit and proper candidate to represent the borough in Par. 'lament. The resolution was then put to the meeting, when about one-half litd up their hands for it. On the contrary being put, there was a strong show of hands. The Chairman decided the re solution to be carried. The remainder of the business, comprising a vote of thanks to the Chairman, &c., was gone through amid considerable uproar and opposition, when the meeting separated, but not before a great portion of it had given three cheers for Sir William Molesworth.
